 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoals 001【First Year of Chongzhen】

    "In the summer of the first year of Chongzhen, there was a drought in Jifu, and thousands of miles of red land." - "History of Ming Dynasty Five Elements"

    These days, the life of the common people is not easy.

    ?Since the last year of Wanli, in less than 20 years, floods, droughts and locust disasters have occurred frequently, and the people of Shengdou have suffered unspeakably.

    Even the most benevolent place in the capital is not immune.

    In the first year of Tianqi, the new emperor ascended the throne, and locusts filled the sky in Gyeonggi.

    ? In the first year of Chongzhen, the new emperor ascended the throne, and the capital was thousands of miles away.

    In the cracked and barren fields, a group of hungry people are wandering, lifeless like walking dead.

    Grass seedlings have withered long ago, weeds can no longer live, the bark has been stripped clean, and if you want to eat clods, you have to find water to swallow them.

    Zhao Shilang and his whole family mixed among the fleeing teams, staggering forward in a daze.

    Last year, my mother died of illness.

    This year, the eldest son died of illness and starvation.

    Just a few days ago, the family was blessed by the heavens and found a large piece of foxtail by the river.

    Cook porridge with grass seeds, save some and eat it for two days.

    The whole family cherishes the second son, Zhao Han, and eats the most grass seed porridge, but because of this bad thing, Zhao Han hasn't pooped for several days.  Grass seeds are hardened in the abdomen, unable to be pulled out, just waiting to die.

    In the evening, the whole family slept in the wilderness.

    Zhao Shilang took his eldest daughter, Zhao Zhenlan, to pick up weeds and dead branches nearby to make a fire.  His wife, Zhao Chenshi, and his second daughter, Zhao Zhenfang, continued to help his son Zhao Han excrete.

    "Han'er, use more strength!" Zhao Chen held a branch in his hand and carefully poked at his son's anus.

    Zhao Han took off his pants and squatted on the ground, grasping the dead grass with both hands, exerting all his strength, and crying, "Mother, the baby can't be pulled out."

    "Come on, come on." Zhao Chen said with tears, her son's anus had been poked and bleeding.

    After a long while, Zhao Han only heard a cry of pain, and then fainted directly on the spot.

    Zhao Chen said happily: "Hey, he's out, hey, he's out!"

    The whole family had no food left, so they could only cook some half-dead grass roots and drink them with hot water to satisfy their hunger.

    Even the grass roots, you have to be lucky to dig them up. The family members are all swollen from malnutrition.

    The condition of his family is not bad, it's just swollen.  Some hungry people have been hungry for too long, not only the fat is exhausted, but even the muscles have shrunk, and the skin and bones look like mummies.

    At night, the stars are shining brightly.

    Zhao Shilang was dressed in a shabby cotton garment, looked up at the starry sky, and murmured to himself: "The brilliant Ming Dynasty, the mountains and rivers are eclipsed, the demon atmosphere is full of demons, and the country will not be a country. What can I do for it? What can I do for it!"

    Zhao Shilang is indeed a Confucian scholar, and his ancestors have been Confucian scholars for generations, because the household registration of the Zhao family is Confucian registration (like business registration, it is a branch of civil registration).

    More than ten years ago, Zhao's family was fairly well off.

    However, he spent a lot of money on imperial examinations, and his family business has long since declined.  In recent years, there have been successive natural disasters. Last year, Zhao's mother was seriously ill and borrowed usury to treat her illness.  In the end, the people were gone, and the debts could not be repaid, so they had to sell the land to pay off the debts.

    At the beginning, you can still borrow money from your tribe and friends, but who can bear it after a long time?  In the eyes of relatives and friends, Zhao Shilang is like a plague god, and everyone can't avoid it.

    Another day later, the fleeing team came to Tianjin, facing the city wall across the canal.

    By the riverside, officials and gentry set up porridge sheds to help the people, and Zhao Shilang's family lined up to wait for porridge.

    However, when there were only hundreds of people serving porridge, some officials shouted: "Today's porridge is exhausted, come back tomorrow."

    Near the porridge shed, there was a loud cry, and some hungry people came forward to pester them, and were beaten to death by the officials.

    Thousands of miles away in the northern Zhili, more than 100,000 hungry people gathered in Beijing and Tongzhou.

    ? Even if the imperial court wanted to provide relief to the people, it would not be Tianjin's turn. Every day, hundreds of people were given porridge for a show, and the little relief funds had long been embezzled.

    Suddenly, a group of fresh clothes and angry horses came, and the leader shouted: "My lord accepts adopted daughters, who are over 12 years old and under 16 years old, and those with good looks are worth half a meter!"

    Hungry people with daughters came forward to inquire one after another, and then took their daughters to jump into the dry and shallow canal to wash their faces.

    At the age of fourteen, Zhao Zhenlan said to her parents: "Father, mother, sell your daughter. Save some food, half a bucket of rice can last for several days."

    Zhao Shilang and Zhao Chenshi buried their heads in silence.

    Zhao Zhenlan squeezed out a smile: "It's dead anyway, if you sell your daughter to a rich family, you can live as a maid."

    Mrs. Zhao Chen sighed: "Lan'er, this is not a rich man, he is clearly a tooth dealer who buys and sells women."

    Zhao Shilang gritted his teeth and said: "My Zhao family has been innocent for generations, but the whole family starved to death"

    &nbspHe asked his wife to take a bag of rice, and protected her daughter and ran away in panic.

    "ah!"

    His wife's screams came from behind him, and Zhao Shilang hurriedly turned his head to look.

    However, it was seen that Mrs. Zhao Chen had been stabbed and fell to the ground, and the food was also robbed by the horse bandits.  His eyes were tearing apart, he put down his son, his eyes were red and he said: "Evil thief, I will fight with you!"

    Zhao Chen yelled in pain: "The head of the family, leave me alone, run away, run away!"

    Two legs can't run with four legs, Zhao Shilang knew it was inevitable, he grabbed the stick and rushed back: "Evil thief, take your life!"

    The bandit sneered and kicked Zhao Shilang down.

    ? Zhao Shilang struggled to get up, the horse bandit slashed down with a knife, and then made a few more stabs as if to vent his anger, Zhao Shilang fell into a pool of blood and did not move.

    "Daddy, Daddy!"

    Zhao Zhenfang rushed over and shook her father's body vigorously.

    "It's very noisy." The horse bandit raised his knife and wanted to chop.

    Another horse bandit stopped him and said: "Old Qi, enough is enough, the little girl is also killed? The important thing is to grab things."

    The horse bandit then withdrew his knife, grabbed two bags of rice, tied them to the horse and continued to kill and rob.

    In a blink of an eye, more than 20,000 hungry people fled, leaving only hundreds of corpses.

    Some were killed by horse bandits, and more died of trampling on each other.  There are also some hungry people who are dying of hunger and really have no strength to escape, so they just lie there and wait to starve to death.

    In the north of Tianjin City, there is a temporary wooden bridge.

    The officers and soldiers guarding the bridge witnessed all this, but no one came to rescue them.

    Not only that, but they raised their swords and killed any hungry people who tried to cross the bridge.  No matter the hungry people or the horse bandits, it is a big problem for Tianjin!

    Zhao Zhenfang's voice was hoarse from crying, but her parents still didn't respond.  She knew that her father and mother were asleep. A month ago, her elder brother also fell asleep and did not wake up.

    The little girl panicked from hunger, and stood there blankly.

    After an unknown amount of time, Zhao Zhenfang walked towards the nearby corpse.  There was a fire that hadn't been extinguished, there was porridge in the broken earthen pot, and some rice grains were scattered on the ground.

    Carefully plan the blood-stained rice grains into the crock.  Following her mother's example, Zhao Zhenfang collected water from a few earthen pots, knelt there and waited for the porridge to be cooked.

    I don't know if it's cooked or not, Zhao Zhenfang couldn't bear it anymore, she sobbed with tears, swallowed her saliva, and took the earthen pot out of the fire with her hands.

    "ah!"

    The little girl's hands were scalded with blisters, but she reluctantly threw away the crock pot, but carefully placed it on the ground.

    Then, she stood there in a daze, turned around and looked at her parents, and stood there stupidly until the porridge was cold.

    Suddenly, Zhao Zhenfang picked up the earthen pot, came to her parents, shook her father's body and said, "Daddy, don't sleep. Get up and drink porridge, you won't be hungry after drinking porridge."

    Father did not respond.

    She went to shake her mother's body again: "Mother, drink the porridge, and you won't be hungry after drinking the porridge. Mother, get up and drink the porridge Woohoo, wow"

    A great fear came over me, and the little girl began to cry.

    Gradually, I became tired from crying and lost strength.

    "Water, water, I'm so thirsty"

    The little girl turned her head to look, but it was Zhao Han who was struggling to speak.  She wiped away her tears and rushed over happily: "Second brother, second brother, get up and drink porridge! ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 002【Get a dog-beating stick at the beginning】

    Zhao Han was in a daze and didn't wake up completely, only feeling hungry and thirsty.

    In a daze, his lips and teeth touched the crock, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to drink.

    The cold porridge with soil and gravel was poured into his stomach like this, so that Zhao Han regained his spirits, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a girl lying beside him.

    "Second brother, are you awake?" Zhao Zhenfang smiled with joy, tears in her eyes, and her confused eyes instantly glowed.

    "I" Zhao Han struggled to speak, but after only one word, his throat hurt like tearing.

    He wanted to support himself to get up, but felt powerless all over, like a ghost pressing a bed.  He is clearly conscious, but he can't control his body, he can't even move his fingers, as if the neck down doesn't belong to him.

    Gradually, Zhao Han fell asleep again.

    Zhao Zhenfang herself was very hungry, so she just stayed by her brother's side, ate up the leftover porridge, and even licked it all with her tongue while holding the crock pot.

    Finally, the officials in Tianjin organized people to cross the bridge to collect the corpse.

    It is now summer, if hundreds of corpses are not disposed of, it will easily lead to plague.

    Those responsible for moving the corpses were all officers and soldiers from Tianjin City.

    ?Because of the severe desertion of sergeants and the expansion of the Tartars in Liaodong, the Tianjin New Army was formed in the last year of Wanli.

    The new army is a battalion system, not part of the guard system, and funded by the central government.  Excluding the "Zhenhai Battalion" and other coastal defense forces, there are more than 6,000 new troops inside and outside Tianjin, but in the past ten years, only two or three thousand have escaped.

    Moreover, none of these two or three thousand new troops can fight, and they have long been reduced to a slave-like existence.

    In addition, there are thousands of guard soldiers in various places in Tianjin, who have served as serfs for the generals for generations.

    Inside and outside, the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers nearby were so frightened by dozens of horse bandits that they dared to come here now.

    "Little Fifth Brother, this one is still breathing."

    "I can't survive, and I will be dragged to the mass grave together."

    "I'm not injured, but I'm hungry, and I can still come back alive after drinking half a bowl of porridge."

    "You give him porridge?"

    "I can't even eat enough myself, how can I give him porridge?"

    "Then why are you talking nonsense?"

    Regardless of the dead or alive, all were loaded onto a cart and dragged to a nearby barren cemetery for simple burial.

    After going back and forth several times, I finally came to the Zhao family.

    Zhao Zhenfang threw herself on her father's body and screamed, "Don't touch my father!"

    Seeing her young age, a soldier couldn't help saying pitifully, "Oh, she's already dead. We'll bury your father."

    Zhao Zhenfang shook her head and said, "Daddy is not dead, but Daddy is asleep."

    The soldiers ignored it and moved to carry Zhao Chen's body.

    "Mom!"

    Zhao Zhenfang rushed over like crazy again, and these soldiers shook their heads again and again.  It's just two corpses, and the little girl won't let them move them away, so they can just save trouble.

    Zhao Zhenfang managed to protect her parents' bodies, and when she saw the soldiers walking towards her elder brother, she quickly shouted: "That's my second elder brother!"

    A soldier sighed: "The co-authors are a family, it's very miserable."

    The soldier next to him said: "This little brother is not dead, his chest is still moving."

    The soldier before leaned over and touched Zhao Han's forehead, shook his head and said, "I have a severe fever, and I have only one breath left."

    The soldiers left Zhao's house alone and ran to carry other corpses.  Seeing that it was about to get dark, this was the last trip, and there were hundreds of corpses left to talk about tomorrow.

    The sun was setting and it was already dusk.

    Six-year-old Zhao Zhenfang was growling with hunger.  Supporting her thin body, she dragged her second brother between her parents, and then stood there silently waiting for the dawn.

    Zhao Han woke up from hunger in the middle of the night, his head was dizzy, his stomach was hungry, and his whole body was weak.

    After struggling to get up, by the dim moonlight, I can vaguely see the little girl next to me.  She seemed to be extremely hungry, curled up even when she was sleeping, her little hands were covering her belly.

    This is the younger sister, Zhao Han suddenly remembered.

    No, I am the only child, where did I get my younger sister?

    Zhao Han shook his confused head and looked down at his clothes.  I don't know what kind of material it is made of, but it feels very rough to the touch anyway, and it is covered with old patches everywhere. Even horse bandits don't like this kind of clothes.

    In the first year of Chongzhen, the new emperor ascended the throne?

    Zhao Han sat on the ground slumped, looking at the ancient starry sky, the thing was so absurd that he couldn't accept it.

    He was born in an ordinary family in New China, and his academic performance was not bad since he was a child.  Barely admitted to a key high school, but unfortunately failed to enter a key university, and can only study an ordinary undergraduate.

    &nbspYes, being bullied by a few beggars, Zhao Han finally exploded completely.  He put down his sister, got up staggeringly, and roared, "Give it back to me!"

    "Young lady, you can't even stand upright, how dare you play tricks with grandpa?" The beggar leader stretched out his foot and easily tripped Zhao Han.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    ?The other beggars laughed loudly. They are the bottom of the society. They suffer from discrimination and bullying all day long, and they can only find fun on the weaker.

    Zhao Han was already dizzy from hunger, and at this moment, he saw double images of people.  He couldn't stand up anymore, so he crawled forward with all his strength, grabbed the beggar leader's ankle and said, "Give me back the steamed bun!"

    "Go away!"

    The beggar leader was caught with one foot, so he raised the other foot and stepped on the top of Zhao Han's head like an ant.

    "Don't hit my second brother!"

    Suddenly, Zhao Zhenfang, who was so hungry that she was almost unconscious, rushed forward and bit the beggar leader's leg.

    "Alas!"

    The beggar leader felt the pain, stretched out his legs and kicked Zhao Zhenfang away.

    Taking advantage of the opportunity of the opponent standing on one foot, Zhao Han suddenly exerted his last strength, grabbed the beggar leader's ankle and dragged it vigorously.

    "ah!"

    The head of the beggar fell on his back and landed on the back of his head, which made him dizzy.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    The other beggars were still watching the joke, and didn't feel that the two children could pose any threat to their leader.

    There are also some passers-by people who stop here, watching the beggars fight with great interest, and from time to time some people point and have fun.

    "Hoo hoo hoo"

    Zhao Han was panting heavily, and before the other party could react, he had already climbed onto the head of the beggar and bit down on the other party's dirt-covered neck.

    "Let go, let go!"

    ?The beggar leader struggled in panic, so frightened that he forgot to ask his companions for help, he just shouted to push Zhao Han away.

    ?The other beggars finally stopped watching and kicked, beat and dragged Zhao Han. Zhao Zhenfang rushed to help but was kicked away.

    Zhao Han hugged the head of the beggar, biting the beggar head relentlessly, biting the opponent's trachea and arteries.  The blood flowing into his mouth is not disgusting, but because of the hunger and thirst in his stomach, he subconsciously sucks blood crazily.

    Finally, the beggar leader stopped moving.

    Zhao Han's mouth was full of flesh and blood, and he turned his head and smiled grimly at the crowd.

    "Killer!"

    Passers-by exclaimed and shouted.

    The other beggars were stunned for a moment, not wanting to avenge the boss, so they grabbed the dog-beating stick and the broken bowl and ran away.

    Zhao Han picked up the steamed bun on the ground, tore it in half, stuffed half into his mouth, and handed the half to the younger sister, saying, "Eat!"

    Zhao Zhenfang didn't care so much, she grabbed the steamed bun and devoured it hungrily.

    Zhao Han ate half of the whole grain steamed bun before wiping off the blood on his mouth with his sleeve. The whole process was like eating the flesh and blood of a raw person.

    ?There was a death in the street, but no one reported it to the authorities.

    It's just a beggar who died, how many days will people not starve to death in Tianjin?

    Zhao Han recovered a little strength, and began to grope for the body of the beggar leader under the watchful eyes of everyone, but unfortunately, he found nothing.

    He picked up the opponent's dog-beating stick, leaned on the stick to stand up with difficulty, helped the younger sister and said, "Let's go, Second Brother will take you to find a place to spend the night."

    ? Zhao Zhenfang grabbed a small piece of steamed bun, but was still reluctant to eat it, and followed Zhao Han silently.

    After only a few steps, the brother and sister were dizzy, so they got down and crawled forward again.

    The onlookers avoided one after another, making way for them to leave.

    This is not a bad start, at least I got a dog-beating stick.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 003【Jinmen Wind and Rain】

    When they came to a shady alley, the brother and sister sat down against the wall.

    Zhao Zhenfang held the remaining handful of steamed buns with her dirty hands: "Second brother, you eat, I'm already full."

    Zhao Han did not refuse, but laughed happily.  Divide the food that is not enough to fit between the teeth into two halves again, and hand back half to the younger sister: "Eat it separately."

    "Um."

    Zhao Zhenfang tore the crumbs of steamed buns and put them in her mouth, reluctant to chew or swallow, and only tasted the fragrance of the food with her tongue.

    Seeing Zhao Han looking at her, Zhao Zhenfang seemed to forget her grief, and smiled happily: "Second brother, the steamed buns are really delicious."

    Zhao Han stroked the top of his sister's head and promised: "When the second brother earns money, I will let you have steamed buns every day."

    "That's really good." Zhao Zhenfang said longingly.

    After putting the little girl to sleep, the smile on Zhao Han's face disappeared, and he picked up the dog-beating stick and grinded it on the ground.  He still didn't have much strength, and the speed of sharpening the weapon was very slow, but the end of the dog-beating stick was finally sharpened.

    A simple bamboo spear is formed in this way, and it can kill people at critical times.

    The experience just now made Zhao Han deeply aware that besides the possibility of starving to death at any time, there are countless potential dangers waiting for him.

    Touching the bamboo spear, Zhao Han finally had a sense of security, creating an illusion that he could control his own destiny.

    In the evening, Zhao Zhenfang woke up from hunger again.

    Zhao Han, leaning on a bamboo spear in one hand and supporting his sister in the other, walked along the streets.

    ?Eating half a steamed bun each, and resting for half a day, both brothers and sisters regained a little physical strength, at least they didn’t have to crawl like dogs when begging for food.

    Arriving at the back door of a certain house, Zhao Han patted on it for a while, and finally someone came to open the door.  Before he could open his mouth to beg, the other party saw the appearance of the siblings, and slammed the door shut.

    Along the way, I knocked four or five more, and only one didn't close the door directly.

    "Ma'am, please do me a favor and give me a stutter. The Bodhisattva blesses you with a long life." Zhao Han hurriedly said auspicious words.

    The woman said: "There is really no food left at home, you can go beg elsewhere."

    ?In small households, in years of famine, I can’t even get enough to eat. How can I have food to help the poor and beggars?

    Seeing that there was no food to beg for, Zhao Han said again: "Can you give me some water? I'm very thirsty."

    The woman was kind-hearted and never refused: "You wait."

    The door closes.

    After a while, the woman opened the door again, scooped up a ladle of clean water, and asked with a frown, "Where's your begging bowl?"

    Zhao Han said nonsense casually: "I was beaten to pieces by some beggars. They don't allow me to beg for food here."

    The woman was even more sympathetic, and handed over the water ladle and said, "Take it and drink."

    Zhao Han first asked the younger sister to drink water to quench her thirst, and then poured the rest of the water into her stomach.  Returning the water ladle, he bowed and said, "Thank you benefactor!"

    "Also a young master in distress. Alas!" The woman closed the door with a sigh.

    At a young age, you already know etiquette. How could you not be the young master in distress?

    After Zhao Han drank the water, he finally regained some energy.  Instead of continuing to beg in this back alley, he found all the way to Dock East Street, which is the most prosperous place in Tianjin.

    The night has fallen, but the North Wharf East Street is brightly lit.

    A large number of merchants stayed here because the cargo ship ran aground in the canal.  The inns were already full, and some wealthy businessmen couldn't find a place to stay, so they simply settled down in brothels outside the North City.

    There are hungry people everywhere outside the canal, but the East Pier Street is full of flowers, and the aroma of wine and meat comes from the restaurants.

    Zhao Han chose a restaurant and squatted at the door waiting for the big customers.

    As soon as he stood still, a shop clerk came out and chased him away with a stick: "Little beggar, get out of here!"

    Zhao Han hurriedly said: "My ancestors were imperial chefs, and they had an exclusive cooking secret recipe, only ten taels of silver"

    "Get out!" The shop assistant beat him with a stick.

    Zhao Han held up his bamboo spear to block it, pulling his sister back and forth, and stood at a distance waiting for the big guests to enjoy the meal.

    As a result, the food was not obtained, but a group of beggars were provoked instead.

    The beggars that Zhao Han killed before were mainly active in Dock North Street.  Dock East Street is the site of another group of beggars.  They belong to the same gang of beggars, but they are managed by different little bosses.

    These beggars are more powerful, and there are more than a dozen of them who come to make trouble.

    Zhao Han protected his sister and stood against the wall, using a bamboo spear in a bayonet pose, provocatively said: "Come on!"

    A beggar was beaten with a stick, but without any rules, the dog-beating stick was swung high above his head.

    ? Zhao Han did not move his feet, but leaned forward, astupid!  "

    Ma Wu sat under the eaves of a door, which could barely shelter from the rain, and planned to get a full sleep before talking.

    Just dreaming of big fish and big meat, Ma Wu suddenly heard footsteps, and he quickly opened his eyes and wiped his saliva.

    The footsteps were getting closer, but Ma Wu couldn't see clearly at all.

    A bolt of lightning pierced the night sky.

    Zhao Han caught a glimpse of a person curled up under the eaves of the door, and he stepped forward and asked, "Uncle, is there any ruined temple nearby?"

    Ma Wu replied subconsciously: "It's far away, the Town God's Temple is in the southeast."

    Zhao Han looked at the place carefully, and found that the eaves of the door were not wide, and the heavy rain must have been blown in by the wind, so he took his sister to find a better place.

    Ma Wu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and quietly followed behind the siblings.

    This guy obviously doesn't understand what stalking is, and night blindness affects his eyesight, so even a fool would know that the commotion is wrong.

    After walking for a while, Zhao Han suddenly turned around, walked quickly to Ma Wu, and asked, "Why are you following me?"

    "Nono." Ma Wu denied it.

    Zhao Han immediately raised his bamboo spear, pointing the tip of the spear at the opponent's throat, and said in a low voice, "Say!"

    Ma Wu instantly remembered the rumors that at noon today, a leader was killed on the side of North Street, and this kid in front of him really knew how to kill.  He was so frightened that his legs became weak, and he knelt down and said, "Little ancestor, spare me!"

    "Say it!" Zhao Han said with a stern expression.

    He said everything he knew: "You killed Lord Hou's people, and Lord Hou sent people to look for you everywhere, saying that if they caught you, they would break your legs. You are all children, and it would be better if you broke your legs."  Lord Hou will not kill you for begging."

    Breaking off the legs of myself and my sister to beg?

    Zhao Han suppressed his anger and asked, "Who is Lord Hou?"

    Ma Wu replied: "Master Hou is Lord Hou, and all the beggars near the North Wharf belong to him."

    Zhao Han asked: "The leader of the beggar gang?"

    "The beggar gang?" Ma Wu shook his head and corrected, "We belong to the Lotus Society."

    Zhao Han continued to ask: "That Marquis, is he just a beggar leader? Or does he have some other identity?"

    Ma Wu said: "It's the beggar leader, and now he won't beg for food by himself."

    Zhao Han asked: "You said that the vicinity of the dock is Lord Hou's territory, what about other places in Tianjin?"

    Ma Wu replied: "It's not other places. Lord Hou is in charge of the area from the north city wall to the north pier."

    The thunder became more urgent, and the rain began to fall.

    Zhao Han suddenly became silent, his hands holding the spear loosened and tightened, and he was analyzing his current situation.

    First of all, troubled times are about to usher in.

    Secondly, I and my sister are young.

    Two young children must think about how to survive in troubled times.

    Zhao Han couldn't remember exactly which year it was.

    Anyway, it's not next year, it's the year after, maybe the year after, the Jurchen army is about to break through the pass and enter the city outside Beijing like a broken bamboo.

    When the time comes, there will be chaos, and Tianjin may not be safe.

    If Zhao Han crosses over to be twenty years old, he actually has many ways out, and he can even go to Shaanxi to participate in the peasant uprising.

    But he is only ten years old now, and he is dragging a six-year-old sister with him.

    The only choice is to look for opportunities to go south, and grow up in the stable Jiangnan first.

    Moreover, during the Little Ice Age, the winter in the north was too cold, and it was not easy to freeze to death if you went to the south.

    Leaving aside the matter of going south, someone is going to break his legs right now and use him as a begging tool!

    Zhao Han straightened his back, his confused eyes gradually became firm.  He asked sharply, "Tell me, where does that Lord Hou live?"

    (PS: Three updates on the first day, and two updates every day thereafter, regularly updated at 12:00 noon and 8:00 pm. In addition, high-roller masters who are interested in tipping can save the reward next Monday, and then they will hit the list.  ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 004【Killing and Gathering】

    Ma Wu didn't understand what he meant, and answered honestly: "Master Hou lives in Wharf West Street."

    Zhao Han continued to inquire: "Is that the old den of your Lotus Society?"

    Ma Wu shook his head: "The old house of the Lotus Society is in South Street, just under the city wall. In the past, when there was a flood, a section of the north city wall collapsed, and many houses were also destroyed. The brothers of the Lotus Society lived in dilapidated houses."

    Zhao Han asked again: "How many people are there in Lord Hou's family?"

    Ma Wu said: "Only his family."

    Zhao Han said unhappily: "I'm asking you, how many people are there in Lord Hou's family? How many are men, how many are women, how many are old people and children! Is there a guardian?"

    "There is no nursing home, only a woman who cooks." Ma Wu thought for a while, counting his fingers and said, "There is Lord Hou at home, his two wives, and how many children. Are the children three? Or four?  ? Or maybe five."

    The situation has been ascertained, and it seems that we can give it a go.

    "Stand up and take me there!" Zhao Han scolded.

    "Where are you going?" Ma Wu was a little confused.

    Zhao Han said: "Go to Lord Hou's house!"

    Boom!

    The thunder is louder, the lightning is brighter, and the rain is heavier.

    When they came to West Street, brother and sister Zhao Han were soaked through.

    "This is the house." Ma Wu pointed to the courtyard door.

    Zhao Han ordered: "Look more clearly!"

    Ma Wu took a closer look, he has night blindness, how can he see clearly?  He just fooled around and said, "I won't admit my mistake even if I close my eyes. Little ancestor, I brought the place, can you let me go?"

    Zhao Han tore off the guy's belt, tied his hands and feet, then tore a rag to cover his mouth, stuffed it under the eaves of the door, and said to his sister, "Wait for me to come out, don't wander around!"

    Zhao Zhenfang nodded and said, "Second Brother, I know."

    The courtyard wall is not high, but it is very slippery after being exposed to the rain, and Zhao Han is young and short, so he failed several times and finally gave up climbing the wall.

    He went back to check the courtyard door, and found that the gap in the door was narrow, and if he wanted to push the latch inside, he had to insert a very thin blade into it.

    The scene was a bit embarrassing, Zhao Han made up his mind to kill, but he couldn't even enter the courtyard wall of other people's houses.

    Being drenched by the heavy rain, Zhao Han's thinking became more and more calm as the icy rain slapped his cheeks.  He searched carefully around the base of the wall, trying to find the low part of the courtyard wall, walked back and forth more than ten times, and saw a small hole not far from the threshold!

    This thing is called a dog hole, cats and dogs can come in and out, but the real function is to drain water.

    At this moment, the rainwater accumulated in the yard is flowing out from the dog hole rapidly.

    The hole is so narrow that adults cannot pass through it, but children can.

    The dog hole is a vertical rectangle. Zhao Han tried it, but found that he couldn't get in if he lay on his stomach.  So, he lay on his side and rubbed in again, the height and width were just right.

    The stagnant water gushing out of the dog hole made it difficult for Zhao Han to open his eyes and breathe, and was almost stuck there halfway, unable to move.

    After finally getting in, the sleeves were scratched, and the arms were also worn out and bleeding.

    This is a small courtyard house with only the main house (north house) and east and west wing rooms, and no inverted house (south house) was built.

    There is a big tree in the courtyard and a large stone water tank.

    Zhao Han ran quickly to the eaves of the north house, pierced a frame of paper on the door lattice, and lay there quietly waiting for the lightning.

    Lightning came again, and Zhao Han could barely see the situation inside the house with the faint light.

    There were tables, chairs and benches inside. It was obviously not a bedroom, but the main room of an ancient folk house. He immediately turned and walked to the next room.

    He also punctured the window paper of the house on the left, Zhao Han listened closely, and there was a faint snoring sound coming from inside.

    The child's arms are small, just enough to fit into the window lattice, and Zhao Han quickly touched the window latch inside.  However, because he was too short, he had to push up with his fingertips, and within a few pushes, the wooden bolt fell off.

    "Wow!"

    The window latch rolled to the ground, making a loud noise, and Zhao Han was so scared that he quickly ducked down to hide.

    The people in the house didn't wake up, they just turned over.

    Zhao Han carefully opened the window sash, climbed into the room through the window, and tiptoed to the bed.

    There was only one man on the bed, the long beard under his chin could be vaguely seen.

    Zhao Han felt a little wrong, because he learned from Ma Wu's mouth that "Master Hou" has a wife and a concubine in his family, and it is common sense that he should not sleep alone.

    He put the point of the spear to the man's throat, and put his hand on his muzzle.

    Soon, the man had difficulty breathing and woke up with his eyes open.  He subconsciously panicked and struggled, and his neck was hurt by the spear point.what?  "Zhao Han touched a knife and ax on the table.

    The woman replied: "Fire sickle."

    Zhao Han stuffed the scythe into his arms, and blocked the woman's mouth.

    After groping again, I found the woman's dressing table and put away all the jewelry.  Before leaving, he found a comb and a pair of grate. He thought of the messy hair of the little sister, so he took the comb and the grate with him.

    It was still raining heavily at the moment, Zhao Han took his younger sister out and found Ma Wu not far next door.  He untied Ma Wu's rope and said, "Go by yourself, Lord Hou was killed by me. You led the way. I am the main criminal and you are the accessory. Do you know what that means?"

    Ma Wu was shocked, and quickly replied: "I don't know anything."

    "Smart." Zhao Han praised.

    Ma Wu regained his freedom and immediately ran away in a panic.

    Zhao Han took his sister's hand and ran all the way to the city wall in the rain. He didn't dare to hang out in the dock area because Deng Gui was covered by someone above him.

    As for the recruitment of beggar gangs, don't talk nonsense, you have to deal with officials and generals, and you have to compete with other beggars for territory.  If Zhao Han was an adult, he might still be able to play around, but he is only a ten-year-old boy now.

    The north city wall of Tianjin collapsed tens of feet, and it has not been repaired for 20 years.

    The two brothers and sisters waded through the muddy water, climbed in from the gap in the city wall, and came to Tianjin City quietly.

    (PS: Many thanks to the lord of Ziyi Zi for the reward, and also thanks to Yanhan Wuxin, Bright Moon Sword Flying, Longxiang Shengteng, Heroes Hollywood, etc. for their support.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 005【Grate Lice】

    The night was dark and windy, with heavy thunderstorms.

    Zhao Han took his younger sister and wandered randomly in Tianjin.

    There is a curfew in the city, but due to the heavy rain, everything is in vain, not to mention that the north and south walls have long since collapsed.

    I don't know how far I walked, but I found a leeward roof, and Zhao Han hugged his little sister to shelter from the rain and sleep.

    It was almost dawn at this time, and the brother and sister were tired and sleepy.

    Especially Zhao Han, although he regained some energy by eating meat buns, he was malnourished for a long time after all.  The sneak attack and murder on a rainy night seemed to be effortless, but in fact, the short fight almost made him collapse.

    Being able to escape from outside the city to the city is all supported by a will.  After finding a place to hide from the rain, Zhao Han fell asleep even though his whole body was wet.

    When I woke up the next day, it was already noon.

    The sky was still lightly raining, pattering, covering Tianjin in a haze of rain and fog.

    The scenery is picturesque, but it's a pity that Zhao Han didn't have the time to enjoy it.

    The clothes on the brothers and sisters have been dried by body heat, quietly waiting for the sky to clear up.

    Zhao Han felt hungry again, braved the light rain to buy some food, and quickly went back to the eaves to hide from the rain.

    ? Fill the stomach, nothing to do.

    Zhao Han took out the grate and comb that came with him, smiled and said to his sister: "Little sister, second brother will comb your hair."

    "Okay, okay!" Zhao Zhenfang was quite happy.

    After all, she is a little girl, sitting in her brother's arms, and leisurely reaching out to catch the drizzle outside the eaves, it seems that she has temporarily forgotten the miserable situation.

    The main function of the grate is not to comb the hair, but to scrape dandruff and lice from the hair.

    Zhao Zhenfang hasn't combed her hair for many days, and her hair is sticky and hardened with sweat. Fortunately, it was soaked in the rain last night.

    Zhao Han moistened the palm of his hand with drizzle, gently wiped it on the little girl's hair, then picked up the comb and combed it slowly.  Some grainy stuff was scraped out, there was congealed salt dust, there was a lot of dandruff, and a few blood-filled lice.

    Pick out the lice and crush them to death one by one, and the ground will be covered with corpses in a short while.  Looking at the crushed lice, Zhao Han actually felt a sense of accomplishment, like a clean freak cleaning up the rubbish in the house.

    After combing for half an hour, Zhao Han finished cleaning up the lice on the little girl's head, and then started to pick up the comb to really comb her hair.

    A bun?  Won't!

    Playing tricks?  Won't!

    Zhao Han only combed two big braids for his younger sister, and after braiding the braids, he felt that the hairline in the middle was combed crookedly.

    Zhao Zhenfang has been leaning on her brother's arms. It hurts when she combs the lice, but she feels very comfortable when she combs her hair.  She couldn't help closing her eyes to enjoy, completely forgetting her troubles, as if returning to the carefree days before.

    Feeling that her brother stopped moving, Zhao Zhenfang asked: "Second brother, are you done combing?"

    "It's ready." Zhao Han replied.

    Zhao Zhenfang stretched out her head and used the accumulated water on the ground outside the eaves as a mirror. She took a picture there for a while, touched her braid and said happily, "Second brother's braid is so beautiful!"

    Zhao Han said: "When the rain stops, find a place to take a bath and get rid of the lice on your body."

    Zhao Zhenfang stood up, picked up the comb and said, "I also comb my second brother's hair."

    It hasn't rained for several months, but it doesn't stop when I get up.

    In the afternoon, the light rain turned into heavy rain again, and the siblings could only hide under the eaves to comb each other's hair and catch lice.

    The little girl didn't know the severity, and Zhao Han's hair was very hardened, and when he combed it, his scalp was painful.

    Zhao Han endured it all the time, instead of making a sound to stop him, he closed his eyes enjoying himself.

    "Oh, it's broken!" Zhao Zhenfang exclaimed.

    Zhao Han looked back and burst out laughing, the little girl actually broke the teeth of the comb, which shows how much effort was put into it just now.

    "Kill them!" Zhao Han commanded.

    Zhao Zhenfang immediately pinched the base of the grate and killed all the lice that had been thinned out.

    Seeing this scene, Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said: "Haha, have a good time!"

    "Clack cluck!"

    Zhao Zhenfang also clapped her little hands and laughed along with her brother.

    Zhao Han glanced at the rag shoes on the younger sister's feet, and took out the two pairs of children's shoes that came along last night: "Little sister, try changing them on."

    Zhao Zhenfang happily took off her shoes and put them on, but unfortunately they were too big and didn't fit her feet well. On the contrary, Zhao Han's shoes were more suitable.

    Zhao Han still asked his sister to wear good shoes, and then tied them with cloth ropes, at least it was better than the rotten shoes with worn-out soles.

    Both siblings have new shoes and their hair combed.Zhao Han took his younger sister and quickly found the shopkeeper, repeating what he had just said.

    "Your ancestor was really an imperial chef?" the shopkeeper asked calmly.

    Zhao Han lied without blinking, and said solemnly: "It's absolutely true."

    The shopkeeper thought for a while and said: "If you are really capable, you can stay and help in the kitchen. When you are a few years older, you will be able to cook."

    "Thank you!" Zhao Han said happily.

    The shopkeeper added: "You said you came to Tianjin to join your relatives, and you called your relatives to be the guarantor. The guarantors outside the city are not counted, they can only be inside the city."

    Zhao Han was dumbfounded for a moment.

    In ancient times, all walks of life attached great importance to guarantors.  Even when the young students take the exam for a scholar, they must be guaranteed by three old scholars, so as to prevent the candidates from falsely reporting their personal information.

    When a store recruits workers, it also needs a guarantor.

    Even as an apprentice, there must be three guarantors, and the guarantors must be local innocent people.

    A foreign refugee of unknown origin wants to apply for employment in Tianjin?

    Dream it!

    Zhao Han still did not give up, and said, "Shopkeeper, why don't you let the boy cook a dish, how about you taste it first?"

    The shopkeeper seemed to see something, sneered and choked out a word: "Get out!"

    Zhao Han persevered, and said, "Shopkeeper, I can also tell a story, why don't I say a paragraph now. Let's say that at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was a Niujia Village in Lin'an Prefecture"

    The store manager completely regarded Zhao Han as a liar, and shouted: "Call me out!"

    The store clerk immediately came over to chase people away, Zhao Han had no choice but to leave.

    I found a few more shops, no matter how much Zhao Han brags, no matter what kind of job Zhao Han wants to do, they must meet a necessary prerequisite: three locals with clean backgrounds jointly guarantee!

    It seems that there is no hope for working to make money, so I can only find another way out.

    Then go south immediately, rushing to reach the relatively warm south before the arrival of autumn, so as not to stay in Tianjin in winter and be frozen to death.

    Of course, there is one more thing that seems more urgent right now.

    Zhao Han came to a pharmacy and asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have trauma medicine?"

    "What kind of trauma?" The shopkeeper asked back.

    Zhao Han was silent for a moment, and chose to tell the truth: "Anal fissure"

    ? Yesterday I was constipated, my old wound was broken, and my blood flowed like a uncle visiting.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoals 006 [Break Through the Sky]

    The ointment is quite effective, but it is a bit expensive, three renminbi a spoonful.

    ? Apply to the affected area, it feels cool and looks like Ma Yinglong.

    It is estimated that there is also a bactericidal effect, and the swelling will subside in half a day.  It's a pity that Zhao Han was always constipated, and the wound burst when he tried hard. After several days of tossing around, it was enough to send a tael or two to the pharmacy.

    One-tenth of the money robbed from Lord Hou's house was spent at once.

    Alas, no matter what, we are also considered staunch men.

    Food prices in Tianjin are getting more and more expensive. Take buns as an example. The price has increased by 30% in a few days. It must be that Tianjin grain merchants are sitting on the ground and raising prices.

    Zhao Han didn't save money, he bought meat stuffed buns and vegetable buns in rotation every day.

    Money can be earned again, but the body must be well maintained.

    The brothers and sisters look much better, they can run and jump, and they no longer feel tired after walking for a while.

    It is a pity that two malnourished young children did not get sick after being exposed to heavy rain. This is a blessing in misfortune.

    Zhao Han is very careful, every time he buys food, he is not in the same store.  But he was still being targeted because he was a child and paid a small amount of money in the pharmacy for several days in a row.

    "Let's go!"

    Zhao Han took his little sister's hand, and at the corner of the street, he suddenly quickened his pace, and then ran into another street.

    A gangster followed up, but found that the target was missing, and was so angry that he stamped his feet and cursed.

    The brothers and sisters went straight to the southeast of the city, where there are Tianjin Wei School and Gong Yuan, where Tianjin students study and take exams.

    No matter how bad the world is, scholars still have to show their face, and hooligans dare not act wild near Wei Xue.

    Opposite Wei Xue is a bookstore.

    The brother and sister squatted under the eaves to eat, and the bookstore owner didn't drive them away, but just kept them away from the door.

    Several health students came together, picked out in the store for a while, and left with their newly purchased books.

    Zhao Han took a peek and saw that the students were full of novels.

    He immediately figured out that he might be able to tell stories to make money, and he could just make up stories like fairy tales and martial arts.

    That night, I slept under the eaves of the bookstore.

    "Second brother, I'm cold."

    In the middle of the night, the younger sister was shivering in his arms, hugging Zhao Han tightly to keep warm.

    Zhao Han also woke up from the cold, and couldn't help cursing: "This terrible weather doesn't leave a way for the poor to survive!"

    It was only the beginning of August in the lunar calendar, and there was a sudden cold wave.

    Zhao Han never dared to take out the two children's silk clothes snatched from Lord Hou's house.  At this moment, he didn't care too much, and hurriedly asked the younger sister to wear clothes to keep out the cold.

    But it's still cold!

    The siblings had to hug each other and curl up under the eaves until dawn.

    Tianjin can't stay any longer. The temperature difference between day and night is huge. If you don't move south, you will definitely be frozen out after autumn.

    Regardless of the plan to make money from storytelling, Zhao Han immediately prepared food.

    After buying some dry food, a few catties of miscellaneous grains, and a little low-quality salt, the brother and sister went out of the city together the next day

    ? Tianjin North Wharf is located in the northeast of the city.

    And in the southeast of Tianjin City, there is also a South Wharf.

    Although the south wharf is not as prosperous as the north wharf, it has a "Ji Chong level" (the highest level) post station - Yang Qingshui post.

    Decades ago, Yangqing Water Station was located in Yangliuqing Town further south, and was maintained by the financial appropriation of Jinghai County.

    There are too many officials passing by the post station. Regardless of whether they are on official business or not, they all show their official cards to eat and live for free, and they have to be served with good wine and good food.

    Just a post station has become the largest fixed financial expenditure in Jinghai County.

    As a result, Jinghai County quit, but the Jichong-level post station could not be abolished, so the court had to move Yang Qingshui post station to Tianjin.

    Tianjin is rich and prosperous, and a post station can still afford it.

    Zhao Han planned to take the South Wharf and go south along the canal.

    Unexpectedly, after passing the moat, it was discovered that there were soldiers stationed everywhere from Yangqingshuiyi, to the South Wharf, and then to the residential areas outside the city.

    ?After several consecutive days of heavy rain, the water level of the canal has recovered, and the temporary wooden bridge has been dismantled. The hungry people outside the canal had difficulty crossing the river, and they all dispersed one after another.

    However, the hungry people in the west and south of the city seemed to be accumulating more and more, and there was only a moat blocking them.

    After the rains, many hungry people actually chose to return to their hometowns, borrowing usury to buy seeds and replant food.  But when they returned to their place of residence registration, what they encountered was the government’s urging of food, forcing them to pay taxes quickly, so they could only choose to go back to Tianjin to avoid the food collection officials.He was carrying a bookcase on his back, and a wrought iron rod was placed across his waist.

    The two walked across the moat, and the moment they crossed the bridge, they immediately became serious.

    Fei Yinghuan put away his folding fan, pulled out his scribe sword, and continued walking leisurely.

    ? Wei Jianxiong picked up the wrought iron rod and scanned the hungry people around him. Wherever he looked, those with ulterior motives bowed their heads one after another.

    Until he passed through the starving area, Fei Yinghuan finally put his sword back into its sheath, turned around and looked back at the starved people everywhere, and sighed with compassion: "Xing, the people are suffering; death, the people are suffering. Alas, the ancients did not deceive me."

    Although Wei Jianxiong was a servant, he was blunt and reminded: "My lord, now is not the time to be sympathetic. We have run out of money, so we have to go to Jinghai County to visit friends to borrow money, otherwise we will have to beg for food and go back to Qianshan Mountain.  It’s not peaceful, it’s better to be careful in everything.”

    "I know, it's really bad luck!" Fei Yinghuan looked helpless.

    Originally, I went to Beijing for a test, but who knew that not only lost his name, but also stayed stranded in Tianjin when he returned to his hometown.  He also suffered from a serious illness for no reason, and spent all his money on seeking medical treatment, so that now he doesn't even have money to hire a boat.

    After Fei Yinghuan's famous family, he is not as rich in funds as Zhao Han.

    The two robust victims, staring at the backs of the two, began to whisper:

    "Brother, let people go there like this? They must have money on them."

    "It's important to do big things! Brother Zhang, Brother Zhao, Brother Chen, are they ready?"

    "It's all ready."

    "Remember, you are not allowed to call out your real name and surname in the future, so as not to be dug up by the court one day. My name is Tapotian!"

    "I know, I will be called Zhenshanxiang from now on."

    "After the incident, Beizhili can't stay. Let's kill all the way to Shandong. First grab Yangliuqing Town, let everyone have enough to eat, and then go to Jinghai County. Fight if you can, and leave if you can't. Beizhi University  Drought, there is not much food, and there is more food in Shandong.”

    "I heard that Shandong was also hit by a disaster last year."

    "Then go to Henan."

    "There was a drought in Henan the year before last, and a flood the year before last. Many victims went to our village to beg for food."

    "Shut up, what nonsense, anyway, it will have a place to go!"

    ""

    Two miles away from the south moat, several large vats have already been set up, and someone shouted among the hungry crowd: "You have broken your natural meat, go eat meat!"

    There have been many days of famine, how can there be any meat to eat?

    The hungry people have already guessed the truth, but they are on the verge of starving to death, so they don't care so much.  There are even many hungry people who eat meat secretly, but they don't show it publicly.

    Half a day later, the meat soup sharing ended.

    Ta Potian selected 3,000 strong men, and brought hundreds of strong men's families, and marched to the south in a mighty manner.

    The so-called strong men are just those who can still pick up a stick and fight hard. The rest of the hungry people are too hungry to walk.  They hold all kinds of "weapons" in their hands, which are used for combat and robbery at critical times, and can be used as crutches during the march.

    Without crutches, these people have difficulty even walking.

    Zhao Han has already flapped his butterfly wings. In Beizhili in the first year of Chongzhen, there was an extra bandit leader named Ta Potian for no reason.

    (Crying, I was overwhelmed by the penguin boss, and I was flattered to reward a silver alliance.)

    (In addition, I also saw Ding Boyue and other old friends, and I also thank Feng Shengshuiqi, Dao Yuan Futu, Lord of Mysteries, Shu Yisu 12 and other friends for their rewards, the names are not listed, there are many rewards  , everyone is so enthusiastic.?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 007【Changes】

    Whether it is a film or television work or reading a novel, Zhao Han will feel an inexplicable embarrassment when he sees the protagonist pointing at the sky and yelling "God thief" at the top of his voice.

    However, now he himself wants to scold him——God, you bastard thief!

    日, 入, and zhi have one meaning and were popular throughout the country in the Ming Dynasty.

    "Straight mother thief" seems classical and elegant, but in fact these three words are very dirty, a hundred times more disgusting than "Japanese mother", appearing in CCTV dramas is pure nonsense.  That's right, it's the TV series "Water Margin"!

    The sun, the moon, this is a common saying.

    Sun, Taiyin, this is the scientific name.

    After the word "日" became popular, "日头" sounded like a curse, and even forced "the sun" because of this, making the scientific name gradually become a folk saying.

    So, why does Zhao Han want the mother of God?

    Because he was disgusted by the thief God!

    Encountering a cold snap in Tianjin, Zhao Han spent a lot of money to buy a few feet of cotton cloth, which the brother and sister wrapped up to keep out the cold at night.  Unexpectedly, after leaving Tianjin, only a few miles away, the weather suddenly turned from cloudy to sunny, which made him and his younger sister almost suffer from heat stroke.

    The heat is unbearable.

    Halfway, I had to stop to rest and find a shady place to avoid the sun.

    On the first day of going south, I only walked less than 20 miles, and spent most of the time resting in the cool and hiding from the sun.

    Arrive at Yangliuqing Town in the evening. Decades ago, this town was extremely prosperous.  But as Yang Qingshuiyi moved away, the town gradually declined, and it was no longer as lively as it used to be.

    There are also hungry people here!

    As the first big town to the south of Tianjin, it is naturally a good place to escape famine and beg for food.  At this time, there were probably hundreds of hungry people who turned into beggars and gathered together to beg in and outside the town.

    All the shops in the town chose to close for fear of being robbed by hungry people.

    By the canal outside the town, there is an abandoned Tianfei Temple.

    Mazu is not only the god of the sea, but also the patron saint of water transportation, and has the official endorsement of the Ming court.  Yangliuqing Town prospered due to water transportation, and raised funds to build the Tianfei Temple, but now there is no incense.

    The brother and sister planned to spend the night in Tianfei Temple, but before they entered the temple gate, they saw densely packed hungry people lying inside.

    "You can't live here." Zhao Han pulled his little sister, turned around and continued walking along the canal.

    After another two miles, it was already dark.

    The brothers and sisters picked up dead branches and leaves along the way, took out a broken earthen pot, and prepared to light a fire to cook porridge.

    "Crack, crack!"

    Zhao Han is already proficient in using the fire scythe that came from Lord Hou's house.

    ? Use dry grass to pad flint, and then rub it with a fire scythe, and it can be ignited in a few seconds. It is as convenient as matches, and it is not afraid of being wet by the rain.

    The price of rice was too expensive, so Zhao Han only bought three catties of millet and three catties of corn.

    Millet is yellow rice, one of the ancient five grains.

    As for corn, it was introduced to China during the Wanli period. The first planting province was Guangxi, and the second planting province was Henan.  Just looking at the geographical jump, you know that there are officials promoting it. No matter what era, there will always be a few good officials who do things.

    The people at the bottom have nothing to ask for, they can only hope that they will meet a good official.  Moreover, it doesn't have to be blue sky, it is enough to be able to do practical things.

    "Second brother, I'm here to wash the rice." Zhao Zhenfang was very active.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "After that, I will leave all the cooking to you."

    Zhao Zhenfang said proudly: "I can make a fire at the age of four, and my mother and eldest sister praise me for my ability."

    Zhao Han stroked the top of the little sister's head lightly, not knowing what to say.

    The water is scooped from the canal, the millet and corn are mixed into the pot, and then a pinch of coarse salt is sprinkled in, and the smell of food will soon spread.

    The two brothers and sisters ate a feast, and after they were full, they wrapped themselves in cotton cloth and slept together in the open.

    Early the next morning, Zhao Han felt something was wrong.

    The little girl felt hot all over, and when she touched her forehead, she really had a severe burn.

    The reality is that it is so unreasonable. Zhao Zhenfang fled the famine with her family.  It rained heavily in Tianjin, and my whole body was soaked and I didn't get sick.  When the cold wave invaded, I was shivering at night, but I still didn't get sick at that time.

    But now the weather is getting hotter, the temperature was normal last night, I can still eat and wear warm clothes, and my nutrition is relatively adequate, but I fell ill and had a fever for no reason!

    Zhao Han was afraid that his sister would lose his mind, so he hurriedly asked, "Little sister, can you hear me?"

    Zhao Zhenfang opened her eyes, squeezed out a smile, and said weakly: "Second brother, I don't have the strength"

    "Then sleep for a while, drink some porridge first, the second brother will takeSo three or five.  "

    The three father and son looked at each other in blank dismay.

    Zhao Han really had no choice, his physical strength was almost exhausted, and it was impossible for him to carry his little sister to the county for medical treatment.

    I can only gamble, betting that these three farmers are honest people.

    The father and son discussed for a while, and decided that the old farmer and the second son would continue to carry water, and the eldest son would go to the county with Zhao Han.  They are also betting that Zhao Han will keep his word and give some life-saving money when the time comes.

    Continue on your way.

    The eldest son carried the younger sister on his back, and Zhao Han followed behind with a spear, and immediately shot to kill if there was any change!

    The two of them stopped and walked, and stopped for a little rest every two miles they advanced.  By the way, fetch water and wipe the little girl's forehead with a wet towel, lest the body temperature be too high to burn people out.

    After nearly twenty miles, after walking for a long time, I finally saw the city wall of Jinghai County in front of me.

    When it was outside the moat, the farmer put Zhao Zhenfang down, turned around and said to Zhao Han, "Little brother, I won't go there."

    "Yes." Zhao Han took a few steps back, put the broken silver on the ground, and then walked around waiting for the other party to pick it up.

    No accident happened, the farmer picked up the silver and left.

    Zhao Han looked at the other side of the moat, feeling chilly in his heart. He had a premonition that he might not be able to enter the city.

    Just because there are also a large number of hungry people gathered outside Jinghai County.

    Moreover, hungry people have flooded the moat, scattered in the residential areas outside the city, begging for food everywhere in the streets and alleys.

    The people of Jinghai who live near the Guo are panic-stricken, and every family stays behind closed doors.  If it continues for a few more days, they will have to run out of food, because there is no way to go to the street to buy rice.

    Zhao Han carried his little sister on his back and crossed the bridge. The streets outside the city were full of starving people, and there were starving people lying here and there.

    All the way to the outside of the city gate, the gate was closed

    Fei Yinghuan and Wei Jianxiong, master and servant, left Tianjin one day later than Zhao Han, but they walked quickly, and happened to arrive at Jinghai County at this time.

    "Open the city gate!" Fei Yinghuan yelled.

    Standing on the tower, the gate guard saw Fei Yinghuan in a Confucian shirt, and replied: "This gentleman, please come back. The county has an order to prohibit anyone from entering or leaving."

    Fei Yinghuan drew his sword and pointed at the tower, angrily said: "Quickly report to Wang Yongshi that Fei Dazhao of Qianshan is here. If he doesn't let me in, when I return to Jiangxi, I will publicize what he did in Jinghai County."  Good thing. Excessive taxation, starvation and death everywhere, cannibalism I want to teach him to discredit him, and make the Wang family cast aside forever by his elders!"

    Wang Yongshi is the magistrate of Jinghai County.

    The gatekeeper didn't dare to neglect, and immediately ran to report.

    Zhao Han's eyes lit up, he asked the little girl to lie down against the wall, straightened her clothes and walked over, bowed her hands together and said, "Boy, see you sir! ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 008【Boiling】

    Under the city wall.

    Fei Yinghuan took a look at Zhao Han, and asked a little strangely, "Are youthe son of an old man?"

    "My father is a Juren in Wuqing County, Bazhou Prefecture. His surname is Zhao, and his taboo is Shilang." Zhao Han was full of nonsense, and without changing his expression, he directly referred to the scholar's father as Juren.

    "Zhao Shilang?" Fei Yinghuan thought hard, then shook his head, "I have never heard of your father's name."

    Nonsense, a failed scholar, if you have heard of it, it is a strange thing.

    Zhao Han grieved, half-truthfully said: "My father is upright and upright. Although he is a successful candidate, he is still as poor as water. This year, there was a severe drought in the county. My father and the whole family fled famine and encountered horse bandits in the north of Tianjin. Father, mother, and elder brother all  Therefore, my younger sister and I are lucky enough to live"

    Fei Yinghuan was a little moved when he heard this, and when he stayed in Tianjin, he also knew that there were horse bandits outside the city, which happened to match what Zhao Han said.  He couldn't help sighing: "Oh, in this filthy world, scholars are in such a miserable situation."

    Zhao Han pointed at the half-conscious younger sister, raised his spear again and said, "I took my younger sister to beg for food in Tianjin, and was often bullied by other beggars. Fortunately, I practiced martial arts with my father. On the way south, my younger sister was seriously ill.  , wanting to enter the county town to seek medical advice, but the gates of the city are closed and no one can enter.”

    Fei Yinghuan glanced at Zhao Zhenfang, and said sympathetically, "You two are young, so it must have been a difficult journey."

    Well, it's all high-sounding nonsense, this guy is a master of Tai Chi.

    Seeing that the other party still refused to ask for help, Zhao Han knelt down and kowtowed fiercely: "Mister, please take my brother and sister into the city!"

    Wei Jianxiong next to him suddenly chimed in: "My lord, it's just a matter of little effort."

    Fei Yinghuan glared at his servant before saying, "Get up and wait with me."

    After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Wang Yongshi, the county magistrate of Jinghai, finally appeared on the tower.

    Fei Yinghuan greeted with a smile and clasped his fists: "Brother Qi Zhao, it's been a few years, I miss you very much."

    Wang Yongshi had a serious face, and said in a bad mood: "Fei Dazhao, I heard that you are going back to Jiangxi to ruin my reputation?"

    Fei Yinghuan smiled and said: "How dare you, brother Yu came to Jinghai, but he just ran out of money and wanted to borrow a few taels of silver from Brother Qi Zhao for travel expenses."

    Wang Yongshi suddenly yelled: "Fei Dazhao, you bastard, I belong to the Wang family of Yangcheng, Shanxi, but I have no relationship with the Wang family of Jiangxi. Even if you go back to Jiangxi to spread rumors, I really won't let you enter the city today!"

    "Hey," Fei Yinghuan was still smiling, "My brother really won't let me go to the city, so why go to the city to see me in person?"

    Wang Yongshi snorted coldly, and then said to the gatekeeper: "Put down the willow basket, and hang up this bastard!"

    Full of vulgar language, no scholarly demeanor.

    Wang Yongshi, courtesy name Qizhao, was born in Yangcheng, Shanxi. He came from the Wang family of Sanhuai.

    ?The two are good friends for many years, and they have passed three exams together, but both failed.

    Wang Yongshi didn't want to take the exam again, so he asked his elders in his family to pay for the post of magistrate of the city.  During his tenure, punishing rape and eliminating evil was quite popular among the people.  Ding's father has been worrying about his filial piety for three years, and last year he was transferred to the county magistrate of Jinghai.

    There is a Wang family in Jiangxi, which belongs to the branch of Yangcheng Wang family.

    More than ten years ago, the Wang family in Jiangxi built an ancestral hall and wanted to rebuild the genealogy, so they sent people to Shanxi to contact the main ancestral hall.  Wang Yongshi, as the representative of the main clan, went to Jiangxi to help compile the genealogy. During this period, he met and became friends with Fei Yinghuan.

    Two willow baskets were lowered from the tower, and Fei Yinghuan stepped into the baskets, sat down leisurely and unrestrainedly, as if he was riding a sedan chair, and waved a folding fan to give the order: "Get up!"

    Zhao Han didn't wait for Wei Jianxiong to enter the basket, but stepped into the middle to block it.

    Facing Wei Jianxiong, Zhao Han bowed to the bottom without saying a word.

    From the brief contact just now, Zhao Han has already noticed that the seemingly amiable Fei Yinghuan is actually very difficult to deal with.  Wei Jianxiong, who is rude and savage, is warm-hearted.

    Sure enough, facing Zhao Han's bow and bow, Wei Jianxiong did not choose to step into the willow basket.  He pulled out the wrought iron rod with his backhand, turned to face the hungry people surrounding him, and said to Zhao Han, "Sit in by yourself."

    "Thank you!"

    Zhao Han hugged his younger sister and sat in the willow basket together.

    Wei Jianxiong let out a loud cry, waved a cooked iron rod, and said to the hungry people: "Whoever dares to take a step forward will make his head explode!"

    This fellow had a ferocious face, and immediately frightened everyone away.

    Zhao Han came to the city tower and bowed to the county magistrate to express his gratitude. Wang Yongshi only nodded slightly to express his acceptance.

    Fei Yinghuan was lying on the crenel of the female wall, looking extremely lazy.  He looked down at the tragic situation outside the city, seemed indifferent, and said casually: "These two children are the descendants of my old friends. Alas, the whole family died tragically, and they are the only ones left to depend on each other."son?  "

    Zhao Han said: "Dad's former friend's house, you can take medicine to recuperate at ease."

    "Oh." Zhao Zhenfang was still confused.

    The boiling water was a bit cold, so Zhao Han helped the little girl up, gave her a sip, and then stayed with her while talking beside the bed.

    After a while, the maid came in and said, "Young master, the medicine is ready, I'll put it on the table to cool."

    "Thank you, sister." Zhao Han got up and said

    That night.

    Suddenly there was a cry of killing in Jinghai County, and Wang Yongshi, the magistrate of the county, personally led his team to arrest the biggest tycoon in the city.  The charges are: colluding with bandits, harboring important criminals, hiding soldiers, and intending to rebel!

    When Li Xing, the master secretary, heard the news, he quickly got up from his concubine's bed and rushed to the scene in a sedan chair.

    "Wangzhi County, stop quickly!" Li Xing shouted.

    Wang Yongshi turned around and smiled: "Director Li is also here to help arrest the rebels?"

    Li Xing was furious, and angrily reprimanded: "Nonsense, this is the house of good people and gentry, where is there any chaotic party?"

    Suddenly, Wei Jianxiong came out of the inner house, threw two sets of armor on the ground, cupped his hands and said: "The county lord, two sets of armor were found in the house."

    Wang Yongshi smiled sadly and said: "Dare to ask Master Li, according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", what is the crime for hiding armor?"

    "You, youyou planted and framed!" Li Xing was furious, and threatened directly, "Wang, don't be ignorant of flattery, this Jinghai County is not up to you!"

    Wang Yongshi showed a surprised expression on his face, and said in a strange way: "Master Li, you are so panicked and angry, is it possible that you are also colluding with the rebellious party?"

    "Fart!" Li Xing was so angry that his liver hurt.

    Wang Yongshi paced over and said in a low voice: "Master Li, the sixth house of the county government, two rooms are already used by me, and Zhang Xiancheng also occupies one room. Can you still cover the sky with one hand? By the way, the new magistrate  He has fulfilled his duties, and he is an old friend of mine during the exam. Be sensible and be obedient, and I don’t want to tear my face apart during the catastrophe!”

    "The new magistrate has arrived? Which master is it?" Li Xing was startled, and suddenly clutched his stomach and said, "Oh, what's wrong with my stomach, help me go home and go to the toilet."

    Watching Li Xing leave, Wang Yongshi spit, trampled and said: "A dog-like thing, not even a human being, dares to be arrogant and domineering in front of grandpa. When the disaster victims return home, I will let your head move."  !"

    Fei Yinghuan walked slowly, and teased: "My dear brother, the new magistrate of Hejian did try it with us. But it's not an old friend. You were jealous and beat him black and blue."

    Wang Yongshi pinched his teeth: "How can he, who is a talented scholar, know about such private matters? Don't be afraid."

    The time was pulled back to the afternoon of the same day.

    In Yangliuqing Town, twenty miles away, the team of Ta Po Tian grew to more than 4,000, and surrounded the town's chief Zhang Jichen's Zhuangzi.

    Holding a torch, Ta Potian shouted: "Listen, everyone, this fish and meat village surnamed Zhang forced us to sell our sons and daughters. Today, those who have vengeance will avenge those who have vengeance, and those who have grievances will avenge their grievances. Kill the whole family surnamed Zhang.  Throw this dog into the pot to make soup! Let me kill you!"

    "kill!"

    "kill!"

    "kill!"

    Many people were unable to lift the sticks in their hands, and staggered on the ground with the sticks, like zombies moving awkwardly in science fiction movies.

    To be precise, it's a wave of zombies!

    The nurses of the nursing home were lying on the wall, sweating profusely from watching each one.

    The gate of the courtyard was not only locked with multiple latches, but also various heavy objects were carried to block it.  The hungry people were lying outside the door and couldn't push it open, but they pushed one after another, overlapping each other, making the hinge of the door creak, as if it might collapse at any time.

    Seeing that he couldn't get in, Ta Po Tian shouted: "Stand back, set fire to the door!"

    A large number of dead grass and dead branches were picked up, piled up in front of the door and set ablaze, and half a quarter of an hour later the door began to burn.

    "Master, run, the rioters are coming in!"

    "Master, there are rioters at the back door, you can't leave!"

    "Master, someone came in over the wall!"

    ""

    Another two quarters of an hour passed.

    "Hoo!"

    The courtyard door that was burning with fire was pushed down.

    Facing the helpless victims, a few guards suddenly turned around and raised their knives: "Kill, kill Zhang Jichen and share the food!"

    The other house slaves also came to their senses. Since they couldn't beat them, they chose to join in and took the initiative to lead the hungry people to rush in.

    The weak victims, who were originally victims, have become extremely ferocious at this moment, and have completely lost their reason and humanity.

    Kill anyone you see, and grab anything you see.

    Dogs and chickens will not be left behind, women and children will perish, and the innocent and weak will not be spared.

    When the news of the uprising came out, the disaster victims in the countryside flocked to follow Tapotian to rebel.

    Two days later, the peasant army surged to more than 6,000 people, dragging their families and killing them towards Jinghai County.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoals 009 【Proposal】

    "Sister, hasn't the magistrate returned to the Yamen yet?"

    "I went back to the Yamen last night, only slept for two hours, and went out again early in the morning."

    "If the magistrate comes back again, please let me know."

    "Don't worry, young master, I remember everything."

    Watching the maid leave, Zhao Han helped the little girl to sit up and drink the medicine when the medicine soup on the table was no longer hot.

    It has been a day and two nights to live in the county government office, and the younger sister's condition is up and down.  Sometimes the body temperature barely drops, and sometimes the fever is particularly severe, and I don't know when I will be able to recover.

    However, the medicine was almost gone, and Zhao Han was short of money.

    However, Fei Yinghuan and Wang Yongshi seemed to have completely forgotten about Zhao Han.  This is also normal, who would care about two children fleeing famine?

    By the afternoon, Wang Zhixian hadn't returned to the county government office, Zhao Han finally couldn't wait any longer.

    He found the maid and said, "Sister, I'm going out for a while, please help take care of my little sister."

    The maid takes care of Wang Zhi County's daily life full-time, and she has nothing to do when the master is not at home.  Zhao Han had a very sweet mouth and offered to bribe him with a hairpin, the maid readily agreed to help.

    Going out with a spear in hand, Zhao Han picked up Fei Yinghuan's tiger skin and asked the county government for a while, but no one could tell where the magistrate was.

    There was no other way, Zhao Han had no choice but to leave the county government office and ask all the way to find a pawn shop.

    "Boom boom boom boom boom!!!"

    Suddenly, there were bursts of bells from the direction of the bell tower, and the county officials ran to the gates one after another.

    When Zhao Han was wondering, he saw Wang Yongshi, Fei Yinghuan, Wei Jianxiong and others rushing over from a distance, accompanied by several low-level military officers.

    "County Honor"

    Zhao Han was about to go up to talk to him, but he was pushed away by the officials, and everyone headed towards the north gate.

    Something big happened!

    Wang Yongshi ransacked the house of the biggest tycoon in the city by means of a thunderbolt.

    ? He also united with the county magistrate Lu who had little real power, threatened and suppressed Li, the local tiger, and spent a day controlling the three shifts and six rooms of the county government.  Immediately afterwards, a meeting of big households in the city was called to force the grain merchants to stabilize the price of rice, and the gentry were semi-forced to donate money and grain.

    All these methods can be described as very clever, and they will be able to open warehouses to relieve the hungry tomorrow.

    At this moment, a deputy inspector appeared with injuries and brought news of the victims' uprising.

    The Inspection Department of Yangliuqing Town is equivalent to the Yangliuqing Town Police Station.  Although the post office (post station) of the town was moved to Tianjin, the police station was retained and was surrounded and attacked by the peasant contingent.

    ?The corpse was dismembered on the spot during the Jiupin patrol inspection, and the deputy inspector escaped by chance, jumped into the river in a panic, and made a big circle to the county town to report the news.

    Climbing up to the north tower, Wang Yongshi looked as far as the eye could see, but did not see the shadow of the peasant army.

    Deputy Inspector Zhang Fen said: "Master Xian, at this moment, the rioters are probably looting Duliu Town."

    Duliu Town, located between Jinghai County and Yangliuqing Town, is also a big town that emerged due to water transportation.

    ?From a military point of view, Duliu Town is more important than Yangliuqing Town, where the South Canal, Ziya River, and Daqing River merge into one, which is the origin of the town name "Duliu".

    "Da da da da!"

    Yiqi suddenly came from the north, but it was Song Chunming, the director of the Duliu Town Police Station, who rode to the county seat alone to report.

    Why is he the only one?

    Because there was only one horse in the police station, the chief rode away on the horse!

    Running to the bottom of the city, Song Chunming shouted: "I am Song Chunming, the inspector of Duliu Town. I have an emergency report from the military. Let me enter the city quickly!"

    Wang Yongshi ordered: "Hang him up."

    Song Chunming didn't even want his mount. He came to the tower relying on the willow basket, and said in a panic: "The county lord, the hungry people are rebelling, and Duliu Town is gone!"

    Wang Yongshi asked unhurriedly, "How many disorderly people are there?"

    "Thousands and tens of thousands." Song Chunming said.

    Fei Yinghuan frowned and interjected: "Is it a few thousand or tens of thousands?"

    Song Chunming said: "It can range from a few thousand to as many as tens of thousands."

    Wang Yongshi suppressed his anger and asked, "Where are your people?"

    Song Chunming said: "It's all gone. Either be killed or become a thief."

    Zhang Fen, the deputy inspector of Yangliuqing Town, said in a strange way: "I ran here for more than 20 miles, and the inspection inspector Song came here on horseback ten miles away?"

    Song Chunming was furious, and asked: "Then why didn't you go to Duliu Town to report the news first, at least let me be prepared, and I won't be caught off guard by the thieves!"

    Zhang Fen also said angrily:; Wang Yongshi said: "The hungry people rebelled, and they didn't grab the armory. How can they have armor and weapons?"

    Zhao Han asked again: "Where are the rioters now?"

    Wang Yongshi said: "We are looting Duliu Town ten miles away."

    Zhao Hanfu asked: "It will be dark in a while, may I ask if the rioters will come to attack the county overnight?"

    Wang Yongshi said: "Of course not. I will definitely rest in Duliu Town tonight, and tomorrow" At this point, Wang Yongshi suddenly looked ecstatic, and laughed, "Haha, it's a good strategy, and it turns out to be terrible. Hurry up and send Chen  Dian Shi called back, and immediately recruited five hundred strong men with a lot of money, made more torches, killed pigs and made food, and I will personally lead the army to attack at night! Brother Wei, you immediately ride a horse and go to Duliu Town to find out about the military situation."

    "It's a trivial matter, leave it to me!" Wei Jianxiong said with a smile.

    Wang Yongshi turned around and asked Zhao Han: "You have made meritorious contributions, what reward do you want?"

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "My little sister is seriously ill and has no money to buy medicine. I hope the county magistrate will help me."

    "This matter is easy to hear, hahahaha!" Wang Yongshi laughed heartily, and his mood became extremely comfortable.

    (I don’t dare to post on time anymore, for fear of problems. I’m going out soon, and the chapter at 8 o’clock will be released in advance. ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 010【Night Attack】

    For smart people, some truths make sense.

    Wang Yongshi, Fei Yinghuan, Wei Jianxiong and others were completely caught in a misunderstanding. They only thought about how to defend the county seat, but never thought about taking the initiative to attack.

    After all, this is the first year of Chongzhen, and peasant uprisings have not yet become a common phenomenon.

    ?As a county magistrate, Wang Yongshi encountered the peasant army for the first time, and he only had a few yamen servants in his hands, and the defenders of the city had to recruit township bravery overnight.

    Zhao Han's suggestion was purely temporary, and he didn't even know the enemy's intelligence.

    At that time, he saw Master Li's head being carried along the street to show the public, so he made up his mind to take a gamble.

    The magistrate is a ruthless person who can kill the master and common people!

    Since he is a ruthless person, then give a risky strategy.  This is called watching people order dishes, and it is also called asking customers to kill chickens.

    If it was replaced by a mediocre official, Zhao Han would definitely offer a conservative strategy, so that he would not be boring himself.

    ? When I returned to the county office again, the treatment was different, and I was escorted and guided by officials throughout the process.

    Although Zhao Han made great achievements, he was not complacent. He cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Dare to ask the old man's name."

    It is estimated that the magistrate of Wang County killed people to establish his prestige, and Zhao Han learned that the county appreciates him. The official did not dare to neglect, and replied with a smile: "Mianzun, surnamed Yang, called Shouzhong, is just a small official in the county government office."

    "It turned out to be Mr. Yang." Zhao Han complimented.

    The clerk hurriedly said, "I dare not call you Mr."

    Chatting all the way, gradually reaching the gate of the county government.

    There is a pavilion on the west side of the gate, and the ground is obviously worn out, so people must come in and out frequently.

    Zhao Han asked casually: "What is that?"

    The civil official introduced: "This is the Shenming Pavilion, which is specially used for reconciliation of small cases."

    Zhao Han was quite interested and asked for details.

    ?After some explanations by the civil officials, Zhao Han's inherent cognition was overturned. It turns out that the trial of cases in the Ming Dynasty did not directly beat the drums.

    On the west side of the gate of the county government, there must be a Shenming Pavilion.

    For civil cases such as property disputes and fights, you must first go to the Shenming Pavilion for persuasion.

    ?The Lijia chiefs from both sides of the case, as well as the relevant officials of the county government, presented their interests to the parties together.  If you can settle out of court, you don't need to go to court.  If both parties are unwilling to make concessions, then the case will be filed with drumming, and the county magistrate will personally go up to the court for trial.

    Is it very familiar?

    Judicial mediation!

    This thing was pioneered by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it can liberate the governors of states and counties from all over the world from trivial matters.

    Of course there are also flaws.

    Following the corruption of Ming Dynasty officials, the chief officials of the county government began to slack off, leaving everything to be handled by the civil servants.  Civil officials can collude with Lijia Chief to coerce the parties to make concessions during the judicial mediation stage, resulting in the disadvantaged party always suffering from being dumb, and many old officials even control civil power because of this.

    Since traveling back to ancient times, we must understand various social situations, otherwise we will not know which door to go to in a lawsuit in the future.

    Seeing Zhao Han asking this and that, he seemed to be very interested in the county government, so the civil servants took the initiative to act as a guest tour guide.

    He pointed to the second gate of the county government office and said: "This is the gate of ceremonies, which is not often opened. Only when the county magistrate takes office, welcomes distinguished guests, sacrifices and celebrations will the gate of ceremonies be opened to enter and exit."

    Zhao Han immediately understood: "The door of etiquette."

    "Young master is correct," the civil official pointed to the side gate on the east side of Yimen, "this is the human gate, also known as Ximen, for the county lords and relatives to come and go."

    Zhao Han pointed to the side door on the west side and asked, "Where is that door?"

    The civil official explained: "That is the ghost gate, also known as the absolute gate. It is used to arraign serious offenders, or escort death row prisoners to execution."

    Zhao Han said: "Unlucky."

    "Isn't it just bad luck? It's windy if you get close." The official said with a smile.

    Inside the gate of Yi is the lobby, where the county magistrate Shengtang hears cases.

    On the east and west sides of the lobby, there are money and grain depots and military equipment depots, and the six rooms of the county government are located on the left and right.  The money and grain depot is in charge of the county magistrate, which is equivalent to the financial office and archives room; the military equipment depot is in charge of the Dian Shi, and there are instruments of torture, weapons and their lists in it.

    "In front is the gate of the house, and it is inconvenient for me to send it off." The official stopped walking.

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

    The gate of the house is separated from the inside and outside, and there is a porter guard. If you want to see the magistrate, you must notify the county magistrate.

    Inside the gate of the house is the second hall, the real daily office of the magistrate, through the second hall to the living inner house of the magistrate.

    Zhao Han stopped and walked along the way, keeping in mind the layout of the county government.

    This thing is standard, north and south.OK, remember one and remember all.

    "Young master, you are back," the maid said with a smile, "The hospital just delivered the medicine, and I am going to cook it."

    Zhao Han hurriedly said: "Let my sister worry about it."

    After talking for a few words, the maid went to decoct the medicine.

    Zhao Han came to the hospital bed and put his hand on the little sister's forehead. He was still a little hot, but his body temperature had dropped.

    Just afraid of repeating again, ups and downs, which makes people worry.

    Zhao Han got up and walked to the window, opened the window to see the scenery outside, but what he thought about was whether the night attack went well

    With heavy rewards, there must be brave men. Five hundred strong men were quickly recruited, and there were dozens more.

    Wang Yongshi temporarily organized the more than 500 strong men into twelve teams.

    Another twenty-four people were selected to serve as Wu Zhang and Wu deputy respectively.  They don't do flag command training either, they just march forward when they beat the drums, and retreat when they hear the gongs.

    It doesn't matter if they make mistakes on the battlefield, their enemies are worse anyway.

    After killing pigs and making rice, filling his stomach, and drinking a bowl of Zhuangxing wine, Wang Yongshi led the troops to set off in person.

    Marching forward with a torch, Wang Yongshi said as he walked, "Brother Dazhao, do you still plan to continue the imperial examination?"

    Fei Yinghuan held the hilt of his sword in one hand, held the torch high in the other, and sighed: "I won the exam when I was weak, and I have been in the general examination for twenty years. It is impossible to give up halfway, right?"

    "If you keep failing in the imperial examination, is it possible that you will have to take the exam for another 20 years?" Wang Yongshi persuaded, "Don't take the exam again, let the money go to the official department, and with the shadow of your ancestor Fei's ancestors, you can easily pass the exam."  Get a magistrate."

    Fei Yinghuan muttered: "I took the Jinshi exam not for myself, but for the entire Yanshan Fei family."

    Wang Yongshi stopped talking, feeling that Fei Yinghuan was very pitiful.

    The Fei family in Qianshan Mountain reached its peak in the sixth, seventh and eighth generations, with an average of two Jinshi in each generation, and countless Juren and Xiucai.

    Uncles and nephews are ranked first, father and son are in the top five, and brothers are both cabinet members.

    What a sight!

    However, starting from the ninth generation, the Fei family in Qianshan began to decline, and there was not even a Jinshi.

    The tenth generation was even worse. They were all scholars, and Fei Yinghuan was the only one.

    He is the hope of the whole family, the chief patriarch of the Fei family, and the separated Henglin Fei family, Hekou Fei family, Lieqiao Fei family, Ehu Fei familyall count on him to shine on the family, how dare Fei Yinghuan not continue to test  go down?

    Fei Yinghuan said: "Don't mention these things, today's smooth killing of thieves is considered a meritorious service on the battlefield."

    Wang Yongshi shook his head and sighed: "What kind of meritorious service is this? It's just a group of hungry people who have nowhere to go. Brother Dazhao will fight tonight, but brother Yu will fight in the future. It is my battlefield to benefit one side. Jinghai County is waiting for prosperity.  How much effort does it take to regain some vitality."

    Fei Yinghuan comforted: "You comfort the people, I study, let's encourage you together."

    "Da da da da!"

    In the dark, a horse gallops forward.

    Wei Jianxiong got off his horse and said, "Young Master, the county lord, put out the torch soon."

    Wang Yongshi asked: "How is the enemy's situation?"

    Wei Jianxiong sneered and said: "That bandit is the first to break the sky, and he doesn't know how to fight at all. Not to mention sending out sentries, he didn't even set up a camp. The thieves scattered in the houses in the town, and only threw a few people outside the town to watch the night."

    Wang Yongshi was instantly relieved that the battle would surely be won, and he immediately ordered: "Extinguish all the torches, grab the belts of your companions from front to back, and march in silence with chopsticks in your mouth!"

    More than five hundred warriors gradually approached Duliu Town.

    Fei Yinghuan and Wei Jianxiong, master and servant, led more than 200 people in ambush in the south of Zhennan to wait for orders.

    Wang Yongshi personally led more than 200 people and went around to the east of the town to prepare for a surprise attack.

    West of the town is the canal.

    Zhenbei was left for the rioters to flee.

    Wang Yongshi quietly went around to the east side of the town, rested for a while, and said to Chen Dianshi, who was carrying a big drum, "You come to play the drum!"

    "Obey!" Chen Dianshi was quite disturbed, but also a little excited.

    Wang Yongshi said again: "Send the order down and light the torch!"

    "Boom boom boom boom boom!"

    "Kill, smash the thieves!"

    In the dead of night, dull drums sounded, and torches were lit, accompanied by fierce shouts.

    In the direction of Zhennan, Fei Yinghuan immediately led the crowd to respond.

    Hundreds of temporarily recruited warriors planted more than 3,000 torches on the ground, waved the torches and shouted loudly, instantly creating the illusion of thousands of troops.

 Volume 1 Trapped Shoal 011 [The Thief Defeated]

    Trapper doesn't spend the night on the town!

    It's not how vigilant this guy is, but about three miles to the east of the town, there is a big house built by local tyrants.  It is not only luxurious and rich, but also has towering courtyard walls, which can not only enjoy comfort, but also protect one's own safety.

    More than two hundred of the strongest rebels were selected by Ta Po Tian as personal guards, and lived with him in a mansion outside the town.

    The beautiful wives and concubines in the house were divided among several rebel leaders.

    Maids and maids are assigned to the commanders of the personal guards.

    Even the healthy women who washed and cleaned, as well as the women who were taken captive from the town, were given two hundred soldiers. After they were full, their desires were released.

    Ta Potian was sleeping soundly at the moment, and beside him lay a naked young woman.

    The young woman was obviously ravaged, and she quietly got up in the dark after Ta Potian fell asleep.  She took out a pair of scissors from the cabinet, tears running down her cheeks, and walked towards Ta Potian step by step.

    "boom!"

    In the dark, the young woman tripped over a stool.

    Ta Po Tian suddenly woke up and asked, "What are you going to do?"

    "Evil thief, even if I'm a ghost, I won't let you go!" The young woman knew that revenge was hopeless, so she held the scissors back and stabbed herself in the chest fiercely.

    Ta Potian hurriedly lit the oil lamp, looked at the young woman bleeding from her chest, and said in a daze, "You don't you want to be a queen? I really want to marry you, and I don't care that you are already married. What is it if you die? You die  What's the deal? Woooooooo"

    The thief actually wept bitterly in a low voice, because the young woman was his sweetheart who had been secretly in love for many years.

    Ta Potian's hometown is in Duliu Town.

    He was a private salt dealer, and one of the lowest kind.

    There are several ways to sell private salt in the Ming Dynasty——

    One is official private, officials and their family members entrain and transport; the second is military private, the army participates in private salt sales; the third is commercial private, loading more than two catties beyond the quota of salt import;  For the sake of smugglers, also known as salt lords, they gather thugs to engage in large-scale smuggling of salt.

    As for Ta Po Tian, ??it can only be called a salt stick.

    ? Gather three or five young and strong, and sell salt through the villages and towns. The nature is similar to that of a hard-earned peddler.

    Soil salt, divided into alkali salt and nitrate salt, is made by frying nitrate soil.  The taste is bitter and poisonous, and only the lowest level people will buy it.

    Even if it is selling soil salt, this meager profit is also targeted by the inspection department.

    Two of Ta Potian's partners were arrested. He took the remaining two brothers and fled to Tianjin South Wharf to survive.  I could have worked hard to survive, but unexpectedly encountered several months of drought, the canal was dry and shallow, and the work of coolies on the docks was also lost.

    Then rebel, go back to your hometown, and grab your sweetheart—the granddaughter-in-law of Hu Yuanwai in this town.

    With tears streaming down his face, Ta Potian sat next to the young woman's corpse, crying heartbreakingly with suppressed voice.

    "Boom boom boom boom boom!"

    "Kill!"

    The sound of drumming and shouting for killing suddenly came, and Ta Potian stood up in panic, and shouted while putting on his clothes: "But the officers and soldiers are here?"

    Wang Yongshi tied the hem of his clothes around his waist, rolled up his sleeves and raised his sword to charge: "Guys, defend your hometown, at this moment, follow me to kill!"

    Before setting off, these warriors each received three taels of silver as a settling allowance, and they could also receive two taels of silver as a reward after the battle.  Moreover, Wang Yongshi promised that they would be exempted from corvée labor for the next three years, and the service money would be directly wiped out in a whip tax.

    Five taels of silver and a three-year exemption from military service are enough for people to risk their lives.

    The warriors are all strong and strong, and those with night blindness are not required.

    It's a pity that they don't know how to fight.

    During the charge, the ranks were all in disarray, and the corporal leader could not find his subordinates, nor could he even know where the corporal leader was.  Moreover, he didn't know how to conserve his strength, so he ran at full speed from a long distance, and he was exhausted and out of breath when he rushed to the small town.

    The mob.

    Still the same sentence, the peasant army is even worse!

    The rioters scattered in the town were awakened by the sound of drums and shouts, and hurriedly dressed and went out to check.  Seeing countless torches outside the town, he was so frightened that he turned around and fled immediately, not forgetting to bring the looted food with him.

    No weapons, only money and food, completely forgetting that they are a rebellious peasant army.

    Many rioters also suffered from night blindness. They fell into the canal in a panic and drowned countless at night.

    "Kill!"

    More than 500 warriors were originally afraid of death, but when they saw this situation, they suddenly lost their fear, and each of them turned into a peerless warrior, often daring to chase and kill dozens of people alone.

    ?The township bravely chased and lost the institutional system, the rioters lost the institutional system when they fled, and the night raid turned into a muddled chaos.

    ? Zhang Fen, Song ChunIt was clear that the directors of the two township police stations were no longer in a state of embarrassment during the day, and now they seemed to be possessed by Lu Bu, waving his waist knife and chasing all the way.  Wherever they go, there is no one enemy, and they each embark on the highlight moment of life.

    After chasing for a while, Fei Yinghuan felt dispirited. He stopped and put his sword back into its sheath, and took out his folding fan to enjoy the moon and enjoy the coolness.

    Wei Jianxiong didn't even bother to use wrought iron rods, he just chased after him with a torch.  He caught up with a rioter on horseback, captured him and asked, "Where is Tapotian? I told you not to die!"

    The rioters replied in horror: "On the east side, in the house outside Hu Yuan."

    "Not in town?" Wei Jianxiong asked.

    "Not here, not here." The rioters almost fainted from fright.

    Wei Jianxiong left this man behind, rode his horse and galloped eastward, shouting all the way: "Follow me quickly and hunt down the thief leader!"

    No one responded, they all went crazy and chased after each other.

    Wei Jianxiong had no choice but to ride there alone. He didn't know where Hu Yuan's house was, so he reckoned the direction and galloped towards the east.

    I don't know how far I ran, and finally saw a few rioters running for their lives with large and small bags on their bodies.

    Wei Jianxiong chased after him with a horse, knocked one to death with a stick, smashed several heads in a row, grabbed the survivors and asked, "Where is Tapotian?"

    "I don't know, they all ran away!"

    "Asshole!"

    Wei Jianxiong was so angry that he slammed down the stick, and the man's brains burst.

    Ta Potian was also furious at this moment, the officers and soldiers attacked Duliu Town at night, he was safe outside the town.  Hastily summoned more than 200 soldiers, and even had time to move the goods, intending to continue to flee with these troops.

    Unexpectedly, after only escaping for one mile, more than half of the more than two hundred soldiers dispersed.

    Even the old brothers who sold the earth and salt together quietly left the team with their goods, and the ghosts who were in the dark did not know where they went.

    The team was hard to stop, and Ta Potian was disheartened. He said to the remaining hundred or so soldiers: "They are all good brothers who fought together. Now that the disaster is imminent, let's not embarrass everyone. Let's separate with our belongings."

    Everyone was overjoyed and took away their belongings from the car one after another.

    But there were still more than a dozen people left, who surrounded Ta Potian and refused to leave. They said: "General, the officers and soldiers who surrendered are dead, and returning home to farm is also dead. It is better to fight for a future with the general!"

    These words made Ta Potian rekindle his fighting spirit, and he was moved to tears and said: "We are all good brothers, you will not let me down, and I will not let you down. From now on, we will share the blessings and share the difficulties. The extra wealth  No more, just bring food and weapons, bypass Jinghai and go to Yanshan County to start an incident!"

    A mob with disheveled hair, originally shrank at the back, suddenly stepped forward at this moment: "General, the younger one will lead the horse for you. The general is the second master Guan, and the younger one would like to be Zhou Cang."

    Ta Potian laughed suddenly: "Haha, it seems that you have also heard of opera, and you have some knowledge in your stomach. Where is your hometown?"

    The mob replied: "General Qi, I live in Zongbao Village, Ziya Town. My family fled famine and went to Duliu Town to beg for food. The fortune is bad, the sky has no eyes, and all my family members starved to death. I happened to meet the General doing something important."

    "You speak so well, have you ever read a book?" Ta Potian asked doubtfully.

    The rioters cupped their hands and said: "I have studied in the village school for several years, but unfortunately I was not admitted as a scholar, and my family has no money so I stopped studying."

    Ta Potian said: "I went to Zongbao Village to sell salt, and there was a juren in the village last year, called what is his name?"

    "Gao Eryan, courtesy name Zhongfu," the rebels explained, "That's my elder brother, he comes from the main clan, and I'm just a side branch. The younger one's name is Gao Ershun."

    Ta Potian recalled: "Gao Ershun? I have a little impression. Does your family live in the east of the village?"

    Luan Min said: "Exactly, the general has a good memory."

    Ta Potian finally stopped doubting and said happily, "Since Brother Gao is a scholar, he will be my military adviser from now on. I will become the emperor, and you will be the prime minister."

    "Thank you, General, I will lead the horse for the general." The rioters took the opportunity to step forward.

    Ta Potian handed the reins to the other party, and said: "Master Gao, I plan to go to Yanshan County to start an incident, you can come up with a plan for me"

    In the middle of speaking, he stopped abruptly, and a dagger was stabbed into Ta Potian's stomach.

    The mob twisted the dagger half a turn, pulled it out and stabbed it in again.

    After stabbing a few times in a row, Ta Po Tian slowly fell to the ground.

    The rioters pulled out their waist knives, and quickly got on their horses. Before the other rioters could react, they swung their knives and slashed at them, shouting: "Gao Eryan, the governor of Ziya Town, is here!"

    All the thieves were frightened and fled in all directions.

    Gao Eryan immediately turned around, cut off Ta Potian's head, and galloped towards Duliu Town.

    "Da da da da!"

    After running for a while, there was the sound of horseshoes in the wilderness.

    Gore yelled at Lema: "Who is coming from the opposite side?"

    Wei Jianxiong responded: "Wei Jianxiong, a general under the command of King Jinghai County!"

    Gao Eryan held up his head and said: "I am Gao Eryan, the Juren of Ziya Town. The head of the thief has already been executed for breaking through the sky. Here is the head!"

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 012 [A foster son?  】

    The Yamen of the Inspection Department of Duliu Town covers an area of ??two acres and is located in the north of the town center. It is currently the temporary office of Wangzhi County.

    The night attack is over, but it seems that it is not over yet.

    There are more than 500 township braves, who can't be taken back if they are thrown out. The black lights chased them wildly, and more than 40 people have not returned at dawn.

    "County Honor, Mr. Wei Zhuang seeks an audience."

    "Ask him to come in."

    Wei Jianxiong stepped into the main hall of the inspection department, cupped his hands and said, "Report to the county, the leader of the bandit has been executed."

    Wang Yongshi was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? Has your identity been verified?"

    Wei Jianxiong was covered in blood, and his chest was still stained with white brains. He replied: "On the way back, I have experienced it, and it is beyond doubt. According to the traitors who surrendered, this beast is called Liu Changlin, and it is from Kuanhe Village, Duliu Town.  He is a man who sells salt for his living. His parents and brothers have all died of illness for many years, and one elder sister married and went to Tangguantun.”

    Wang Yongshi asked, "Who captured and beheaded the thief?"

    Wei Jianxiong said: "Jinghai County Juren Gao Eryan."

    "It turned out to be him," Wang Yongshi said with a smile, "please come in and speak."

    Gao Eryan was quickly brought in, his hair still disheveled, and he was still wearing a nondescript silk dress.

    Fei Yinghuan next to him smiled and said, "Why are you dressed like this?"

    Wang Yongshi immediately introduced: "Zhongfu, this is a good friend of this county, Fei Dazhao, a member of Qianshan Juren."

    "I've seen you before," Gore said with a sad expression on his face, "Hu Chongdao is my good friend in Duliu Town. Yesterday, my junior was visiting brother Hu's house with his book boy. Who would have thought that Tapotian would kill him suddenly,  Dozens of members of Brother Hu's family were met with misfortune. Even the junior's scholar died tragically under the sword of the bandits. The junior, a scholar, had no strength to restrain a chicken, so he had to loose his hair and put on the clothes of a house slave, pretending to be thrown from the bandit.  Chaotic army. Fortunately, Wang Xianzun led the troops to kill them, so they had the opportunity to kill the bandit leader and avenge the extermination of Brother Hu's family!"

    Fei Yinghuan pointed to the silk dress on his body: "Is this the clothes of a house slave?"

    Gao Eryan explained: "The rioters are greedy for enjoyment, and they snatch good clothes when they see them. They don't care about men's and women's clothes, and they don't care whether they fit or not. As long as they are silk and satin, they will wear them. In order to fool around, the younger generation has to change into this one."

    "You are informal." Fei Yinghuan smiled.

    Wang Yongshi praised: "Bearing humiliation and slaying villains with one hand, you are worthy of being a loyal empress!"

    During the Yashan naval battle, Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with the young emperor in his arms, and the privy envoy Gao Gui also died for his country.  There are two Gao clans in Jinghai County. The Gao clan in Zhongwang Township is the descendant of Gaogui's eldest son, and the Gao clan in Ziya Township is the descendant of Gaogui's second son.

    Hearing Wang Yongshi mentioning his ancestors, Gao Eryan couldn't help but feel a little proud, and immediately bowed and said: "The county honorable praises you absurdly."

    Another round of encouragement and praise, the two sides talked for half an hour.

    Wang Yongshi tactfully saw off the guest and said: "Such a great achievement, the county will definitely report it to the imperial court for praise. Your Excellency must have been quite tired after working hard all night, so let's take a rest in this inspection department."

    "Thank you for your compassion, the county magistrate, so I will leave first." Gao Eryan left calmly.

    In the main hall of the inspection department, only Wang Yongshi, Fei Yinghuan, and Wei Jianxiong are left.

    "Snapped!"

    Wang Yongshi slammed on the table and cursed: "Such a treacherous person, reading sage books in vain!"

    Fei Yinghuan waved the folding fan, smiled and said nothing.

    Wei Jianxiong didn't understand, so he couldn't help but wondered: "Is the county lord scolding this high-ranking man? I think he can bend and stretch, and act decisively. He is a great talent."

    Wang Yongshi gritted his teeth and said: "I have interrogated many rebels, and those who can live in the Hu family's mansion are all soldiers of the bandit leader who has stepped out of the sky, and they have to submit their names. Gao Eryan was a guest at the Hu family at that time.  Sudden attack by the rioters, how could he become a thief by disguise? And turned into the leader of the bandits? This guy must have disguised himself as a slave and killed the Hu family with the rioters. In order to survive, he raised a knife on his friend's family!  "

    Wei Jianxiong was dumbfounded, unable to speak for a long time.

    Fei Yinghuan suddenly sighed with emotion: "Brave-faced and ruthless, you can be considered a character."

    County government.

    Zhao Han supported his little sister and fed him a bowl of soup: "Do you feel better?"

    "I'm not dizzy, I just don't have the strength." Zhao Zhenfang squeezed out a smile.

    Zhao Han comforted and said, "It will be fine after two more days."

    Zhao Zhenfang asked: "I heard from Sister Xiaohuan (the maid) that this is the home of the magistrate. Is the magistrate really a friend of Daddy's?"

    "Daddy has a lot of friends." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Zhao Zhenfang opened her mouth to speak,??He drank too much.  "

    Fei Yinghuan looked at the contents of the cup, and said with a strange expression: "Drinking too much will make your son a fool?"

    "There is such a saying, I don't know whether it is true or not." Zhao Han replied.

    "Then I want to quit drinking, maybe I can give birth to a unicorn." Fei Yinghuan put down his wine glass, ate two peanuts, and drank it up again.  You can't do it step by step, and it won't be too late to stop drinking when I get home."

    Zhao Han could only respond with a smile, waiting for the other party to explain his true intentions.

    For no reason, I suddenly asked him to eat with him, and said such nonsense, there must be some purpose.

    Sure enough, after three glasses of wine, Fei Yinghuan asked casually, "You two, what are your plans for the future?"

    Zhao Han replied: "Go to the south first, the winter in the north is too cold, and you may freeze to death if you sleep on the streets."

    "Isn't it cold in the south?" Fei Yinghuan said sincerely, "Be my adopted son, come back to Jiangxi with me, and accompany my stupid son to study."

    Hearing the word "adopted son", Zhao Han was overjoyed and wished he could just kowtow and call him father.

    But after listening to the following words, my heart suddenly turned cold.

    This is not being a godson, it is clearly going to Fei's house to be a schoolboy!

    Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that ordinary people are not allowed to keep slaves, even scholars with fame.  Therefore, the contract to buy a slave is disguised as a contract to adopt a son and daughter.

    Domestic slaves who are close to each other do not call their masters "Master" and "Madam", but directly call them "Father" and "Mother".

    For example, in a literary masterpiece, domestic slaves call Ximen Qing externally, using words such as "My Father" and "Ximen Father", and also call Ximen Qing's sworn brother "Second Father".

    Military generals in the late Ming Dynasty liked to use servants to fight wars, and there were often a bunch of godsons in the servants, whose true identity was slaves!

    Since it belongs to the adoption contract, it seems that it can't stop the house slave from getting away, but that thing has more practical power.

    This is because the master-servant relationship has become a legally recognized father-son relationship. According to the Confucian Three Cardinal Guidelines and Five Constant Principles, how can a son set up his own family at will?  Those who dared to run away without permission would not even be able to obtain their household registration, and would directly become refugees from black households!

    Zhao Han did not immediately refuse, but said: "I want to discuss it with my younger sister."

    Fei Yinghuan didn't force it, and said with a smile, "Move your chopsticks and eat."

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 013 [The World's No. 1 Brothel]

    ? County government office, punishment room.

    An old official came with a booklet in his hand, and said in a flattering tone, "Young master, this is the Law of the Ming Dynasty."

    "Thank you sir." Zhao Han took it with both hands.

    The old official said with a smile: "I dare not do it."

    Leisure all day, bored to the core, Zhao Han thought about getting a copy of "Law of the Ming Dynasty".

    Firstly, it can pass the time, secondly, it is familiar with recalling traditional Chinese characters, and thirdly, it is to understand the legal common sense of the Ming Dynasty.

    Those officials in the county government couldn't figure out Zhao Han's details.  Some people thought he was Fei Yinghuan's junior, while others thought he was Wang Yongshi's junior. Anyway, they were quite respectful to Zhao Han, and acquiesced in allowing him to come and go in every room of the county government at will.

    The fox pretends to be the tiger, and Zhao Han got the samadhi!

    As for the matter of the book boy, of course Zhao Han didn't discuss it with his younger sister, Zhao Zhenfang would definitely say "I listen to my second brother".

    As long as someone is not abused as a domestic slave, he actually has no psychological burden.

    At least it's better than being a beggar. In two or three months, it will be winter.  In the Little Ice Age, the winter in the south may not be easy. What if the little girl gets sick and has a fever?

    As long as I can grow up to be an adult, I can't just leave by then!

    Will the fugitive slave become a black household?

    Hehe, I was originally a refugee, so I didn't seem to have lost anything.

    What's more, Daming is about to end, and when the time comes, there will be refugees all over the place, and maybe he can do a big business.

    Being a obedient citizen under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhao Han didn't think he had that kind of blessing, and his hairstyle with money and rat tail was too ugly.  It is necessary to fight. It is best to succeed. If you fail, you will become a monk, or take your younger sister into exile overseas.

    The reason why he didn't agree to Fei Yinghuan immediately was purely because he wanted to wait for Wang Yongshi to come back. What if Wang Zhixian could provide better conditions?

    Sitting in the execution room, Zhao Han opened the "Law of the Ming Dynasty".

    The opening chapter is a preface written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself, explaining the original intention and significance of promulgating the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", followed by the etiquette of mourning for the elders.

    There are five clothes for funerals, chopping off, Qi off, great merit, minor merit, and silk.

    In fact, according to the closeness, the deceased is dressed in linen and filial piety. There are differences in the styles of each mourning dress.

    It's not difficult for Zhao Han to guess, but there are still some terms that he can't understand, so he can only ask the old official in the punishment room: "Sir, stepmother, adoptive mother, aunt, biological mother, concubine, I can understand all these. Who is the loving mother in particular?"

    The old official explained patiently: "The aunt or biological mother died of illness, and the child was brought up by the father's concubine. This concubine is the son's loving mother."

    "So that's how it is." Zhao Han suddenly realized.

    Judicial terms are indeed different from common sayings, and must be answered by professionals.

    After Zhao Han finished reading the "Chapter on Clothing System", he had to lament the cumbersome etiquette.

    For example, if a concubine can give birth to a son, the husband's other children must call this concubine "concubine".  If you can't have a son, you don't have the qualifications to be a "concubine" and you don't get the family status you deserve.  It is true that mother depends on child!

    Looking further down, Zhao Han suddenly regained his spirits.

    Good guy, Ling Chi chapter!

    Moreover, there are quite a few items about Ling Chi, and it's not just some serious crime of treason.

    If there is no reason to kill a family of three or more, the presiding judge can directly sentence Ling Chi.  Children and grandchildren who beat their elders to death can also be sentenced to Lingchi.

    The elder is dead, take the elder's wives and concubines, ask to beheaded!

    Brother is dead, take in sister-in-law or sister-in-law, hang!

    Zhao Han asked the old official: "Sir, I'm afraid you won't really be sentenced to hang for taking in brothers, sisters-in-law and daughters-in-law?"

    The old official laughed and said: "The law is dead, but people are alive. If the family is poor, the brother dies and the wife is widowed. It is difficult to raise the children, and the younger brother has no money to marry a wife. So what if it is a married woman? Everyone is happy.  If you don’t raise it, you won’t be investigated by officials.”

    This statement can also be listened to the other way around. If a younger brother accepts his sister-in-law, it violates the etiquette.

    Continuing to look down, Zhao Han was a little frightened.

    ?Beating brothers, sisters or elders within four servings, until seriously injured, regardless of the reason, will be hanged!

    "Da Ming Law" is really harsh.

    ? During the day in the punishment room, after reading only three articles, Zhao Han held the legal books and planned to take them to the county government house to continue

    Before leaving, Zhao Han suddenly asked: "Excuse me, sir, where is the Yinan (servant) from?"

    The old official was stunned for a moment, and explained in detail: "The household registration is divided into principal and deputy. The adoptive son who lives with the master is attached to the principal household of the master's family and is regarded as the descendant of the master's family.  The sub-households of the family are regarded as the employees of the main house. In addition, if the adoptive son and adopted daughter, if the adoption dateWang Yongshi frowned and said, "Why take advantage of others' danger?"

    Fei Yinghuan said: "It's true that I take advantage of people's danger, but my Fei family has declined to this point, and Quanzi is a natural idiot. If I die one day, Quanzi will not be able to hold on to the Fei family business in Ehu, and sooner or later it will be swallowed up by other clans.  I have to give my son a life-saving minister."

    "Brother Dazhao also took great pains." Wang Yongshi expressed his understanding.

    Fei Yinghuan said: "This son is very smart, and he will definitely not be a thing in the pool in the future. If he is really talented, I will help him to rise to the top and be a strong support for my Ehu Fei family. If he is just middle-class  This capital can also assist the dog to guard the family business. It is not a loss in any way."

    Wang Yongshi laughed and said: "You have a good plan. Forget it, I will send someone to give him twenty taels of silver, and help Brother Dazhao cut off his distracting thoughts." As he spoke, he teased and sneered, "Cultivate this son well.  , maybe he can enter the cabinet as a prime minister, and when the time comes to marry him, won't your Qianshan Fei family be happy again?"

    Fei Yinghuan couldn't laugh or cry: "Brother Qi Zhao, why bother to mock me?"

    Wang Yongshi scolded: "You are a bastard, two people, plotting against a child. Shameless and shameless!"

    Fei Yinghuan excused himself and said: "The calculation is the calculation, and it didn't hurt the sky. It even saved the lives of their brothers and sisters."

    "If it weren't for that, I wouldn't help you," Wang Yongshi couldn't help swearing again, "Although you are a naughty bastard, you still have a bit of conscience. It's not like a beast in the dynasty, whose conscience has been eaten by dogs  !"

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 014 [Feng Jian Boy]

    There was a package in front of him, and when he opened it, there were four small silver ingots, totaling twenty taels of silver.

    "well!"

    Zhao Han sighed and reached out to play with the silver ingot.

    After living two lifetimes, this is the first time for him to see the actual silver ingot with his own eyes.

    It is not as regular and delicate as in the TV series. The four silver ingots in front of you are very rough, and there are large and small dense pores on the surface.

    Zhao Zhenfang was able to walk on the ground, and came to her brother: "Second brother, are these silver? A lot of money."

    "Yes, a lot of money." Zhao Han said.

    Zhao Zhenfang asked suspiciously: "With money, why isn't Second Brother happy?"

    Zhao Han laughed at himself: "The expectations are too high."

    Since Wang Zhixian sent the money neatly packaged and courteous, but he didn't call Zhao Han to meet him, he obviously didn't want to have anything more to do with it.

    To alienate a child who has made suggestions so painstakingly, Fei Yinghuan must be playing tricks!

    Isn't this Fei Yinghuan expressing his sincerity?

    ?He put all his energy into recruiting servants, not to recruit them back for beating, scolding and abuse.

    At least at Fei's house, Zhao Han and his sister won't have a hard time.

    Zhao Han held the silver ingot in his palm and weighed it. Twenty taels of silver, no matter how much or how much less, he could barely get along.

    But what the brothers and sisters really need is a stable growth environment, not a precarious life.

    That's all

    Shiwei is in September, which belongs to the third autumn, and the weather is getting cooler.

    Zhao Han pushed open the door, put on moonlight, and went to the next door to talk to Fei Yinghuan.

    "Little brother, please come in." It was Wei Jianxiong who opened the door, and he seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

    Fei Yinghuan was lighting a lamp and reading a book, when he heard the commotion outside, he asked with a smile: "You two, brother and sister, have you discussed it?"

    Zhao Han replied: "We have discussed it."

    "How?" Fei Yinghuan asked again.

    Zhao Han said: "The boy is willing to sign a ten-year contract with the Fei family."

    Fei Yinghuan, who was originally a little proud, frowned when he heard this: "Are you going to be a hired worker?"

    Zhao Han said: "Exactly."

    In order to curb the custom of offering, the imperial court classified all domestic slaves who did not live with their masters as hired workers during the Wanli period.  Although it is useless, most of the hired workers today are those who contribute to the land.

    This kind of master-servant relationship lacks a firm binding force!

    Fei Yinghuan asked, "Why?"

    Zhao Han explained: "The kid doesn't want to change his name."

    "This is easy," Fei Yinghuan pointed to Wei Jianxiong, "Old Wei and I have been with me for fourteen years, and we haven't changed our surname yet."

    Wei Jianxiong immediately cheered: "No change."

    Fei Yinghuan continued to seduce: "I allow you to take the imperial examination. If you pass the imperial examination before the age of fifteen, you will be adopted as a foster son!"

    "Can domestic slaves take the imperial examination?" Zhao Han asked doubtfully.

    ? Fei Yinghuan asked back: "Since you have taken in a righteous man, you have entered the official household of the Fei family. If you only talk about the household registration, it is the same as the children of the Fei family. Why can't you take the imperial examination?"

    Zhao Han suddenly realized that this thing can be operated.

    But Daming is almost over, what's the use of me being a scholar?

    If all goes well, he will be a scholar at fifteen, a scholar at twenty, a Jinshi at twenty-five, and stay in the capital for another two years, which will just open the door for Li Zicheng.  Then he was caught and tortured by King Chuang?

    In any case, Fei Yinghuan has expressed enough goodwill.

    The conditions were generous enough to make people suspicious, Zhao Han asked: "Why is Fei Xianggong so fond of you?"

    Fei Yinghuan smiled and said, "I'm happy to see Lie Xin, that's all."

    Fei Yinghuan can't help it either, Fei's family has been out of Jinshi for two generations, and he belongs to the family's only seedling Juren, but his son is still an idiot who can't help him!

    ? When you meet a child prodigy, you naturally have to invest in it. There will be nothing more than three outcomes in the future.

    First, hurt Zhongyong, it’s too young to be old.  If Zhao Han becomes a waste, Fei's family will at most raise someone to eat.

    Second, Zhao Han will be a good talent in the future, and he can take charge of Fei Yinghuan's useless son.

    Third, Zhao Han is a pillar of talent, so he will be sent to the imperial examination and truly included in Fei's ancestral hall.

    In ancient times, famous families often did this, especially wealthy merchants, who would select children for training every year.  The house slave has achieved the ultimate, directly and independently, and has become the general manager of the business in the entire region.

    This is better than going outside to recruit people?Guaranteed, because the household registration of a domestic slave is in the hands of the master!

    Moreover, a truly big family is not afraid of domestic slaves turning their hosts into masters.

    There are many branches of Fei's family in Qianshan Mountain, most of which are very close to each other. Ehu Fei's family where Fei Yinghuan is located is just one of them.

    If one day Zhao Han turns around and bullies Ehu Fei's orphans and widows, the other Fei clans will laugh out loud.  They can become envoys of justice, under the banner of cleaning up evil slaves, collude with the government to put Zhao Han in prison, and then divide up the property left by Fei Yinghuan together.

    After Fei Yinghuan's death, Zhao Han and Ehu Fei's family are both prosperous and hurt, and must help the little master wholeheartedly!

    Unless, with Zhao Han's strength, he can eat the entire Lead Mountain Fei.

    Zhao Han thought for a while, and asked, "Scholars in Jiangxi, I'm afraid it's not easy to take the exam, right?"

    Fei Yinghuan said with a smile: "Indeed. Before the age of fifteen, it is rare to say that there are not many scholars who can pass the examination in Jiangxi. So you have to work very hard. If you become successful, you can enter Fei's ancestral hall. If you don't, you can only  Can be Fei's family slave."

    ?I’m going to be a ghostly scholar. If I have the time to read the Four Books and Five Classics, why don’t I read more books on the art of war and make friends with more heroes

    Zhao Han asked again: "I don't know what arrangements my little sister has?"

    Fei Yinghuan said: "I have two daughters. The second daughter is seven years old this year. The younger sister can be the playmate of the younger daughter."

    Zhao Han asked: "What should I call Fei Xianggong?"

    "Let's call him Daddy." Fei Yinghuan laughed.

    "It's better to call him son." Zhao Han still insisted, that title always made him feel that he was being taken care of.

    Fei Yinghuan pointed to Zhao Han, and said to Wei Jianxiong next to him, "This kid is just like you back then."

    Wei Jianxiong held his head high and held his chest high: "Those who are capable must naturally have a tougher temper."

    The next day, everyone went south.

    Jinghai County was busy with government affairs, and Wang Yongshi didn't come to see him off because he didn't have the skills to spare.

    The younger sister had just recovered from a serious illness, so Wei Jianxiong carried her away, and temporarily let the official carry the bookcase, and went to the dock outside the city to board a merchant ship.

    Fei Yinghuan still looked like a coquettish bag, dressed in a dignified and dignified manner, and his demeanor alone could scare many people away.

    As for Zhao Han

    Before returning to Qianshan Mountain, he made a temporary cameo as Fei Yinghuan's servant boy, also known as the legendary "boy".

    There are two horns sparse on the head, and the dress is relatively neutral.

    The servant boy is a kind of elegant existence, which must be taken with him when traveling in mountains and rivers, meeting guests and friends, and often appears in poetry and prose.  There are wine-serving boys who pour wine from cups; there are qin-serving boys who hold and tune the qin;

    And of course, there's the bedboy, and some guys like to take dry walks.

    At this moment, Zhao Han's cameo role is the Sword Attendant Boy, who specially follows Fei Yinghuan to hold the sword.

    After boarding the ship, settle properly.

    Fei Yinghuan called Zhao Han over and asked, "How old is Kai Meng?"

    Zhao Han said casually, "Seven years old."

    Fei Yinghuan asked again: "You are ten years old, have you ever passed the Tongsheng exam?"

    Zhao Han shook his head: "Never."

    Fei Yinghuan asked again: "Don't talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, should I finish reading the Little Four Books?"

    Zhao Han said: "My boy's family is poor, and I haven't read the Fourth Primary School Book thoroughly. I learned it from my father's teaching. However, my father borrowed a lot of miscellaneous books, but I read a lot at random."

    Helplessly, Fei Yinghuan took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the bookcase, and said, "Research ink!"

    Zhao Han slowly took out the ink stick, and with the memory of his body, poured some water to grind the ink away.

    "Write, write whatever you want." Fei Yinghuan said.

    Zhao Han was afraid of making mistakes in simplified and traditional characters, so he took a pen and wrote "Thoughts in a Quiet Night". He thought his calligraphy was passable. He practiced in training classes for several years when he was in elementary school.

    Fei Yinghuan had a headache when he saw it: "How did your father teach you to practice calligraphy? My stupid son can write better than you!"

    Zhao Han can only say: "My family is poor, I cherish paper and ink, and there are not many opportunities to practice calligraphy."

    "Forget it, more logistics training" Fei Yinghuan stared at the poem suddenly, and asked in surprise, "Who did you learn this font from?"

    Zhao Han replied: "My father created it."

    Fei Yinghuan couldn't help clapping his hands and admiring: "Your father is a master of calligraphy! Such a font looks like a pavilion but is not a pavilion. It is simple and stable, not flattering but not vulgar, and the structure of the characters is even more exquisite."

    Uh, it's just the Qigong style, which is practiced in calligraphy training classes.

    Fei Yinghuan quickly said: "Write a few more poems quickly, I want to study this style well!"

    Even if Zhao Han is not to be cultivated as a priority, and he is only cultivated as a boy, Fei Yinghuan still has to teach him personally.

    A good portable boy can be used as the face of the owner.

    You can imagine this picture, several scholars travel together, each with a boy to follow.  Suddenly, a certain person became very popular with poetry and asked the boy to study ink to record. His poems are excellent, and the boy's calligraphy is wonderful. They complement each other very well.

    Therefore, the boys who are valued by the master often do not do any rough work, and are tutored by the master himself, and they read and practice calligraphy in their spare time.

    Fei Yinghuan is tutoring in person at this moment, but he is attracted by the Qigong style, and has been studying calligraphy along the way.??As a boy is cultivated, Fei Yinghuan also has to teach it himself.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 015 [Spear Art]

    cabin.

    The inscriptions were densely packed, and the newly written pen and ink were scattered everywhere. Fei Yinghuan looked a little haggard with a beard and scum.

    At this moment, the merchant ship had already passed Dongchang Mansion, and he was studying the Qi Gong Body along the way.

    "Snapped!"

    Fei Yinghuan threw the brush away, called the servants on board, washed his face and cleared his mind, and then shaved off the excess stubble in front of the mirror.

    Not long after, Zhao Han knocked on the door and came in: "Why are you calling me, Master?"

    Fei Yinghuan pointed to the steles all over the floor: "Put away all my copybooks."

    Zhao Han had no choice but to bend down to pack the copybooks.

    Fei Yinghuan stood with his hands behind his back, and asked abruptly, "Which clan do you come from?"

    Zhao Han replied: "It's just an ordinary Confucian family background. I heard that someone in my ancestors was a magistrate."

    "Impossible," Fei Yinghuan said very firmly, "The typeface created by your father draws on the strengths of many families and absorbs the essence of famous masters of the past. There must be a large number of famous posts for him to learn from. This typeface seems simple, but it is all-encompassing.  An ordinary Confucian household doesn’t have that foundation to create!”

    Zhao Han didn't know much about calligraphy, so he could only fool around at the moment: "My father travels all year round, and no one knows where he is."

    Fei Yinghuan actually believed it, and stopped asking about the details, and reminded: "Your father's handwriting is unique. Beginners should not get in touch with it too much, otherwise calligraphy will inevitably fall into evil ways."

    "My lord taught you well." Zhao Han accepted it humbly.

    "Go, I'll be alone." Fei Yinghuan waved.

    Zhao Han packed up all kinds of copybooks, bowed out of the room, and closed the cabin door smoothly.

    Fei Yinghuan took up a pen and wrote down a few more words, looking left and right, feeling depressed and showing some signs of madness.

    Qigong's calligraphy has particularly poor strokes, particularly positive fonts, and a particularly stable structure.

    After several days of research, Fei Yinghuan has already been misled. He has not learned the advantages of the font structure, and the strokes have become worse and worse.

    It's like a master of martial arts who accidentally gets a strange secret book, but after practicing it leads to disorder of the meridians.

    If you can't learn, if you can't learn, you will be useless!

    Fei Yinghuan calmed down and took out a famous inscription. Like a child who just learned to write, he copied it carefully, trying to completely erase the influence of Qigong style.

    After copying for a while, Fei Yinghuan picked up the discarded Qigong body again.

    ? Repeated comparison, careful tasting, thoughtful.

    I don't need to learn its shape, but only need to understand its meaning, and I can become a family of my own!

    Zhao Han didn't know that the words he wrote made Fei Yinghuan undergo a calligraphic transformation.

    He was standing on the deck at the moment, looking at the situation on both sides of the canal.

    The north and south of Jingzhou are like two worlds.

    All the way by boat, the scenery is getting greener and greener, as if returning to the world from hell.

    This year's drought is mainly concentrated in two provinces.

    One is Northern Zhili, the other is Shaanxi, and Shandong is only slightly affected.

    What's more frightening is that it's raining at least in Beizhili.  As for Shaanxi, there has been a drought from the year before last to the present, during which there were only a few partial rainfalls. A man named Gao Yingxiang has already started a riot, calling himself "Chuangwang".

    Facing such a severe disaster and the rising peasant army, only a few local officials are struggling to deal with it.  As for the central court, not only did they not allocate funds for disaster relief, but they even imposed additional salaries on the people of Shaanxi!

    "Is this your weapon?"

    Wei Jianxiong's voice came from behind him, this guy was still carrying a wrought iron rod, and still holding Zhao Han's spear in his hand.

    Zhao Han cupped his fists and said, "Exactly."

    "Then," Wei Jianxiong threw the spear over and said with a smile, "There is nothing left and right, let's make gestures."

    Zhao Han took the spear in his hands, and put on a "ready to fight" posture.  But the difference between a spear and a rifle is huge, and the bayonet technique has to change accordingly. He holds the middle end of the spear with one hand, and the other hand is relatively backward, standing with his legs slightly in a half lunge.

    Wei Jianxiong stood empty-handed, Da Lala said: "Come on."

    Zhao Han concentrated and held his breath, suddenly leaned forward, and pierced the opponent's waist with a thrust.

    Wei Jianxiong retreated a little later to dodge, and at the same time leaned over to grab the spear. Zhao Han quickly withdrew his strength and took advantage of the situation to swing the spear upwards.

    Very exciting challenge, but it is a pity that I met Lian Jiazi.

    While dodging, Wei Jianxiong grabbed the front of the spear and pulled Zhao Han along with the spear.

    "Uncle Wei is superb in martial arts, I admire you so much." After Zhao Han stood still, he admitted defeat very simply.

    Wei Jianxiong commented: "This move of yours is a bit big shot.But the strength is too deadly, and the change of moves is quite stiff.  Didn't your spear teacher even teach you how to swipe?  "

    Of course Zhao Han can slid stab, but the slid stab of bayonet technique and the slid thrust of big spear technique are completely two concepts.

    The bayonet technique of the People's Liberation Army combines the advantages of Chinese stabbing (National Army), Japanese stabbing (Japan), and Soviet stabbing (Soviet Union), and some techniques of traditional spear techniques are added.

    However, rifles are hot weapons after all, and they are very different from spears and spears.

    If the method of inserting and sliding of Daqiangshu is directly applied to the rifle, the rifle will probably be thrown out, and the center of gravity of the weapon cannot be controlled at all.

    If the rifle wants to slide and stab, the whole body has to move accordingly. It is very disadvantageous to fight against traditional cold weapons.

    Zhao Han said: "These moves are all my own brainstorming."

    Wei Jianxiong shook his head and said: "It's not all nonsense. Your provocation just now was not bad. If I dodge slowly, it will definitely pay off."

    "It's just a class with an axe." Zhao Han said modestly.

    Wei Jianxiong criticized again: "Although your pricking moves are quick and tricky, but the way you use your force is completely wrong."

    It's not that Zhao Han's force technique is wrong, but that there is something wrong with the weapon in his hand, he should be replaced with a bayonet-mounted rifle

    Zhao Han took advantage of the situation and knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and said, "Uncle Wei, please enlighten me!"

    Wei Jianxiong was probably too idle to panic, and could not do anything in the cabin for many days.  He stood up straight and said, "Look at how I do it, just teach it a few times, don't blame me if you're too stupid to learn."

    Zhao Han hurriedly observed carefully.

    Wei Jianxiong opened his mouth and pointed out: "Spears are different from spears. Spears are hard. They are mainly stabs. They are not flexible enough to change moves. If you have a chance, you can practice spear skills. First, strength is the most important thing. The strength of the legs is the most important, followed by waist strength, and then arm strength  You swing your spear thousands of times a day. If you have enough understanding, you can figure out the number of ways. From leg strength, waist strength to arm strength, all forces work together, and you can send and receive as you like. I only teach you the basic methods of holding a spear and making moves, and the rest  You experience it slowly."

    This is enough, the master leads the door, and the practice depends on the individual.

    Wei Jianxiong stood up straight, then stepped forward, stabbed slowly with a spear, and asked, "Did you see clearly?"

    "I see clearly." Zhao Han replied.

    Wei Jianxiong said: "I stab a thousand times a day, and I will learn how to use force by myself. I will teach you the next trick in two months."

    Damn, what's the difference between this and a bayonet thrust?

    Well, there is a difference in taste, the range of body movement is not so large, which is determined by the difference in weapon characteristics.

    Zhao Han held the spear, stood on the deck and stabbed repeatedly, thinking carefully every time he stabbed.

    I don't know when, Fei Yinghuan also came to the deck and stood silently watching.

    Wei Jianxiong invited credit and said: "Young master, this kid has a good understanding and is a good material for martial arts."

    Fei Yinghuan looked gloomy, and said angrily, "I still expect him to take the imperial examination."

    Wei Jianxiong chuckled: "Didn't Duke Qu of the Tang Dynasty also have all-round talents in both civil and military affairs? There will be no delay in studying and practicing martial arts."

    "Can this son be compared with Tang Qugong?" Fei Yinghuan shook his head.

    Tang Qugong, namely Fei Yaonian, was the uncle of Fei Yinghuan and the last famous official of the Fei family in Qianshan.

    Wei Jianxiong touched his nose and muttered: "Whatever, let's practice first."

    Fei Yinghuan walked to the bow of the boat, stood with his hands behind his back, and remained silent for a long time. He didn't know if he was posing or he was really thinking about something.

    Oncoming are countless tank boats on the canal, and the army and tank boats stretch for several miles.

    Wang Yongshi seeks benevolence and wins benevolence, and finally ushers in the end of dismissal.

    The gentry in Jinghai County ran and shouted, and went to the censor to file a complaint, and the prefect of Hejian also impeached him.

    It just so happened that this batch of tank boats passed by Jinghai County and got in touch with the patrol censor, and accidentally capsized two of them.  Moreover, the responsibility for the overturning of the ship was shifted to Jinghai officials, and the loss of grain was required to be shared equally by the people of Jinghai.

    Wang Yongshi sternly refused, saying that he would not take the blame.

    ?Xuncao Yushi, Xunyan Yushi, and Hejian Zhifu jointly impeached Shangshu, and Wang Yongshi was finally dismissed.

    When leaving office, the people of Jinghai lay on the official road to prevent Wang Yongshi's car from driving forward.

    However, what can the people do for what they want?

    A good official doesn't last long.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 016 [Jingkou Station]

    Zhenjiang, Jingkou station.

    ?Belonging to the same waterway post station, Yangqing post station has ruined Jinghai County's finances, but Jingkou post station is making money every day.

    The post house built on the bank can be called a garden-style hotel, and there are even three theaters, where troupes are often invited to sing.  Where is this station, it is clearly a large-scale comprehensive entertainment venue!

    Not only on the shore, but also in the water, the passenger ships at the mouth of the canal also belong to the post industry.

    ?Business travelers do not need to go ashore, but can directly live in large passenger ships.  Boarding, lodging and entertainment are all available on the passenger ship. You can even attract famous prostitutes. You can enjoy the prosperity of Zhenjiang without leaving the boat.

    What is the scale of Jingkou Station?

    A total of more than 100 post houses, more than 30 boats, more than 70 horses, 3 pavilions, 3 rolling sheds, 3 stages, 26 stables, 1 Taoist temple (Horse King Hall), post soldiers, grooms,  There are more than 500 sailors, housekeepers, cookers and bearers.  It is also equipped with sedan chair room, dining room, veterinary room, prison room, forage room, Xiao Wangtang and so on.  There is also a branch in Guazhou, with many water houses and stables.

    The magistrate of the Jingkou station would not be suitable for another county magistrate!

    The merchant ship that Zhao Han and the others took did not leave when they arrived in Zhenjiang, but stopped to unload goods and do business.

    Fei Yinghuan was a big spender, he didn't bother to go ashore to find a cheap inn, so he directly stayed in the luxury passenger ship of the station, waiting to transfer to the boat to Jiujiang.

    According to this method of spending money, the silver borrowed from Wang Yongshi is probably gone before returning to Qianshan.

    Guest room.

    Fei Yinghuan savored an Qigong style, and said to Zhao Han: "Write another song "Will Enter the Wine"."

    Zhao Han immediately opened the "Anthology of Tang Poems", and began to copy poems seriously, and familiarized himself with the corresponding traditional characters by the way.

    In fact, Zhao Han's calligraphy is not bad, and he also worked hard in the training class in elementary school.  He was belittled by Fei Yinghuan before. It was purely a problem with the strokes of the Qigong style. The shape and structure of the characters are relatively strong.

    While Zhao Han swiped the brush, Fei Yinghuan appraised the calligraphy in his hand and said: "The shape of this 'Zen' should be born out of Monk Zhiyong, but it has changed slightly, and the structure is solid and superior"

    This guy is breaking down characters, and he is familiar with the character structure of Qigong style, so Zhao Han keeps writing new characters every day.

    Qigong body looks a bit ugly at first glance, but Fei Yinghuan never figured out why it looks beautiful after a second look, because he doesn't know what the golden ratio is.

    ?From a scientific point of view, Qigong style is to sacrifice strokes so that the font structure is presented in a golden ratio.

    At least after finishing the song "Will Enter the Wine", Zhao Han asked: "Sir, do you want to write more?"

    "No, continue tomorrow." Fei Yinghuan stared at the writing in his hand, not bothering to lift his head.

    Zhao Han rubbed his sore wrist, went to open the window to blow the river breeze.

    On the shore, there are business and travel, prosperous and prosperous, how can there be any sign of the end of the world?

    Shandong and North Zhili are two worlds, and Jiangnan and Shandong are two worlds. Even the spirits of beggars are different.

    Jiangnan is rich and prosperous!

    On the post station stage, a scholar was giving a lecture, and the audience was full of audiences of different classes.

    The content of the scholars' lectures could not be heard, but the applause from the audience came from time to time, and the crazy appearance was like a star giving a concert.

    Zhao Han couldn't help asking: "My lord, all the guests on the boat said that Mr. Ji Shan is very famous, why don't you get off the boat and listen to his lectures?"

    Fei Yinghuan sneered and ridiculed: "I have seen Liu Zongzhou, a native of Shanyin, Zhejiang, who was deeply influenced by Wang Xue, but he criticized Mr. Yangming instead. Not only did he criticize Mr. Yangming, he also criticized Zhu Zi and Lu Xiangshan. Crazy life  One, forgetting one's ancestors after countless classics, the false name is quite big."

    "I see." Zhao Han said no more.

    In fact, Zhao Han himself wanted to get off the boat and take a look, after all, this was the first historical celebrity he met.

    ?Liu Zongzhou, Mr. Jishan, a member of the Donglin Party, refused the offer from Manqing Baylor, fasted for 23 days and died.

    Mr. Fei Yinghuan obviously misunderstood Liu Zongzhou deeply.

    ?Liu Zongzhou was too arrogant when he was young, and he did catch Zhu Xi, Lu Jiuyuan, and Wang Yangming to complain.  But now that he has been dismissed from office and practiced quietly for many years, his academic thinking has ushered in a huge change, and he has become a loyal believer of Wang Yangming.

    After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Liu Zongzhou was selected as the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, and was invited to give lectures all the way north.

    Zhao Han leaned over the window and looked at it for a while, and asked curiously: "My lord, what do you think of the Donglin party members?"

    Fei Yinghuan laughed and said, "Donglin Academy has been burned, so how can there be any real Donglin Party? They are all clinging followers. But you have heard of Donglin Party at such a young age?"

    Zhao Han can only talk nonsense: "My father admired the Donglin Party quite a lot during his lifetime."Fei Yinghuan explained: "When Wei Zhongxian was in power, there were people who opposed Wei, regardless of their origin, and they were all labeled as the Donglin Party. After Wei Zhongxian fell, everyone fought to be the Donglin Party, otherwise they would be denounced as eunuchs.  It's either one or the other, it's for the party. I went to Beijing for the exam at the beginning of the year and lived in an elder's house. I heard from him that the court is very lively every day."

    Well, the Donglin Party belongs to the political side, which is beyond Zhao Han's expectation.

    Fei Yinghuan continued to study calligraphy, and Zhao Han returned to his cabin.

    Four masters and servants live in the same suite.

    Fei Yinghuan lives alone in the inner cabin, while Zhao Han, Zhao Zhenfang, and Wei Jianxiong share the cabin, and he can order them to do things whenever necessary.

    "Second brother, look quickly, look quickly!" Zhao Zhenfang ran happily holding a toy.

    Zhao Han hugged the little girl with a smile, and asked, "What is this?"

    Zhao Zhenfang said as if presenting a treasure: "This is a puppet given by Uncle Wei. The neck, hands and feet can move."

    Zhao Han begged to play with it for a while, pretending to be surprised: "It can really move, what a delicate puppet!"

    Zhao Zhenfang grinned more happily, revealing the big gap where her teeth were changing, and the little girl became more and more cheerful.

    After coaxing the little girl for a while, Zhao Han said gratefully: "Thank you Uncle Wei"

    "No, I got off the ship to do some errands, I just bought it," Wei Jianxiong lay on the floor, with his legs crossed leisurely, with a grass in his mouth, "Go and pack your luggage, the boat has been found, and we will leave for Jiujiang tomorrow."

    Zhao Han hurriedly packed his things, and he did all the chores along the way, Wei Jianxiong was so leisurely that he became half a young master.

    After finishing the work, Wei Jianxiong asked again: "Have you practiced spear today?"

    Zhao Han said: "It's not too late yet."

    Wei Jianxiong urged: "Thousand stabs every day, and one stab must not be missed."

    Zhao Han had no choice but to take out his spear and practice stabbing in the cabin. The moves were the same, boring and boring.

    After finally finishing the practice, Wei Jianxiong began to order again: "Go and call for wine and food."

    Zhao Han picked up the bench and left the cabin. There was a bell at the door, and he needed a bench to touch it.

    "Jingle Bell!"

    The crisp bell rang, and soon a guy came over to provide room service.

    Zhao Han said: "Please send me some food."

    Wei Jianxiong lay in it and shouted: "A Jinling roast duck, a plate of stewed dried beans, two catties of sauced beef, a steamed mandarin fish, a steamer of white rice, and a pot of Shaoxing Huadiao."

    The man said: "Guest officer, the sauced beef is sold out, I'm afraid we will have to wait until tomorrow."

    Don't talk about imperial bans, beef is also sold, monkey brains are available, and even shark fins can be ordered, as long as you can afford it.

    Wei Jianxiong said: "Then replace it with mutton."

    "Okay, wait a moment, gentlemen!" The man trotted away.

    About two quarters of an hour later, the waiter came over with food and wine, and brought them to the big house for Fei Yinghuan to enjoy.

    Fei Yinghuan didn't have a big appetite, so he only ate some roast duck and half a mandarin fish, leaving the rest to the three servants.

    Wei Jianxiong took a few mouthfuls, then suddenly got up and walked into the inner room, and reached out to grab the flagon on the table.

    Fei Yinghuan reminded: "I still have to drink."

    Wei Jianxiong said with a smile: "My lord, the wine is not hot anymore, and the cold wine hurts the stomach. The old lady asked me to take care of you all the way."

    "Nonsense, where is the wine not hot? Put it down quickly!" Fei Yinghuan was a little angry.

    "It's still hot? Then I'll try it," Wei Jianxiong took a sip from the spout and said in surprise, "It's weird, it's really not cold, and I'll give it back to you, sir."

    Fei Yinghuan looked at the saliva on the spout of the pot, and suddenly black lines appeared on his face, and he yelled, "God damn Diao Nu, take the wine and get out of here!"

    Wei Jianxiong cupped his hands and bowed: "Thank you for the wine, sir."

    Returning to the hut swaggeringly, Wei Jianxiong stared at the empty plate and asked, "Where's the Jinling Roast Duck?"

    Zhao Zhenfang was sucking her fingers, her mouth was full of oil, and her face was innocent.

    "After eating, there is only half a duck head left. Uncle Wei, do you want to eat it?" Zhao Han handed over the duck head in his mouth.

    Wei Jianxiong sighed wryly: "You two can really eat, such a big duck will be eaten up in a blink of an eye."

    Zhao Zhenfang covered her mouth and snickered, and took out a plate containing dried tofu: "Uncle Wei, I'm just kidding, the duck leg and breast meat haven't even moved."

    "It's kind of a conscience." Wei Jianxiong curled his lips.

    Became Fei's family slave, among other things, the food and drink were very rich along the way.

    Fei Yinghuan was used to extravagance, so Wei Jianxiong let him order whatever he wanted.  He himself only ate a little, and the rest went into the bellies of Zhao Han, Zhao Zhenfang, and Wei Jianxiong.

    When they arrived in Jiujiang to change boats, the siblings gained a lot of weight and were no longer as thin as before.

    At the same time, Zhao Han finally understood why Wei Jianxiong was so big and round, he was a complete cook!

    However, Zhao Han was a little confused about the relationship between Fei Yinghuan and Wei Jianxiong.

    It's not like master and servant at all, but more like sworn brothers.

    (Seek recommendation tickets, monthly tickets.)Xu, all the rest went into the bellies of Zhao Han, Zhao Zhenfang, and Wei Jianxiong.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 017【Strict Ethics】

    There were originally three main sects in Qianshan Feishi: Henglin Feishi, Fanwu Feishi, and Feidun Feishi.

    During the reign of Xuande, Henglin Fei's business prospered because of business. Before setting foot in the officialdom, he had already done business in Zhejiang and Fujian.

    Everyone passed through Hukou County, stayed in Jiujiang for two days, then crossed Poyang Lake and entered Xinhe River, and took a boat all the way to Hekou Town, Qianshan County.

    Regardless of the backwardness of Jiangxi's modern economy, it was known as the thoroughfare of eight provinces in ancient times. There is a saying: "Hankou is endless, and estuary is endless."

    Hekou Town is the territory of Fei's family in Qianshan, and the ancestors rose from this commercial town!

    From here, you can reach Zhejiang in the east and Fujian in the southeast.  If you return to Poyang Lake, it reaches Guangdong in the south, Huguang in the west, and the Yangtze River in the north.  There are many rivers and lakes on all roads, and they are connected by official roads, and the trade is so prosperous that it is staggering.

    When passing by Hekou Town, Zhao Han was dumbfounded. He never imagined that a "remote town" could develop to such a degree.

    If Jingdezhen porcelain and tea want to be sold to Fujian, they must go through Hekou Town.  If you want to quickly sell to Zhejiang, you can also take Xinhe, and then go straight to Jinhua along the official road. Hekou Town is also a must.

    Porcelain of the Ming Dynasty was exported to Europe. In terms of Jingdezhen porcelain alone, at least half of it was transported to coastal ports via Hekou Town.

    It's no wonder that Fei's family is so powerful, and it's no wonder that Fei Yinghuan has been generous and has occupied the treasure land for two hundred years.

    Between the small town and Fei's ancestral house in Henglin, there is a bluestone avenue, and a series of memorial archways stand in the distance: Zhuangyuan Archway, Tanhua Archway, Jinshi Archway, University Scholars Archway, and Shangshu Archway

    The boat sailed slowly past Hekou Town and continued up the Xinhe River. Wei Jianxiong explained: "My son's family is at the foot of Ehu Mountain, and has been separated from Henglin's main sect for many years."

    To put it more bluntly, although Fei Yinghuan's Zongzhi cannot get a finger on Hekou Town, it controls the commercial waterway that is the shortest distance from Jiangxi to Zhejiang!

    Xinhe, renamed Xinjiang in the Qing Dynasty, Zhao Han had never been here.

    After enjoying the scenery of the water town all the way, we came to Ehu Town in a short time.  Although this town is not as prosperous as Hekou Town, it is also a large commercial town. Countless tea and porcelain from Jingdezhen are transported eastward from here to all parts of Zhejiang.

    Most of the shops in Ehu Town are owned by Fei Yinghuan.

    Less than half of the land around Ehu Town belongs to Fei Yinghuan's family.

    "The young master is back! The young master is back!"

    The moment Fei Yinghuan stepped out of the cabin, a dock worker recognized him, and immediately started yelling at the top of his voice.

    Then, shouts came and went, all the way from the pier to the street.

    Soon there were a few young people running towards Ehu Mountain, chasing each other like a race.  Whoever reports to Fei's family first will get more rewards. How can such a good thing be left behind.

    "Master!"

    "Master!"

    ?Walk along the way, and everyone you meet along the way stops to say hello.

    Fei Yinghuan held his head high and held his chest high, always smiling, as if a big star was inspecting fans.

    In Zhao Han's mind, Mr. Fei's image has changed drastically at this moment, and he is perfectly transformed into the stupid son of a landlord's family.

    Observing these common people carefully, Zhao Han found that they were all in good spirits, obviously they could live on for the time being.

    Out of the small town, there are fields and fields.

    Many farmers are working in the fields, and the autumn grain seedlings are lush and green. It seems that this year will usher in another bumper harvest.

    If you only look at the surface, it seems that the whole people here have entered into a well-off society!

    After walking for a while, a group of people hurried over.

    The two husbands rushed to Fei Yinghuan, lowered their poles and respectfully said, "Young Master, please get on the sedan chair."

    Fei Yinghuan didn't say much, and sat down as usual.

    "Get up the sedan chair and open the umbrella!" Another middle-aged house slave yelled, but he was the book boy who grew up with Fei Yinghuan, and now he is working as a middle-level manager in Fei's family.

    The husband carried the sliding pole forward, and a servant held up a sun umbrella to prevent Young Master Fei from being exposed to the sun.

    There are domestic slaves clearing the way in front of the sliding rod to prevent people and animals from accidentally running out of the way, and accidentally bumping into the young master.

    Following the sliding pole were three boys, all of whom were Fei Yinghuan's servant boys.

    The bookcase on Wei Jianxiong's back and the luggage in Zhao Han's hand were also picked up by other house slaves.

    The steward who was born as a book boy, protected the sliding pole and shouted all the way: "The young master is back home, the young master is back home!"

    I am Nima!

    ? Zhao Han was dumbfounded, he just sent someone home, and the battle was like a feudal official going out on tour.

    The most nonsensical thing is that the three boys following the sliding pole are mere servant boys.??The body is all dressed in silk.

    All the gentry in the world should be damned!

    A farmer came over with a bucket of manure, and chose to avoid it from a distance, and hid dozens of steps away, for fear that the manure would stink the young master of the Fei family.

    ? Now that I know the Yanshan Fei family, why have there been no Jinshi for two consecutive generations, and there is even only one single seedling Juren in this generation, right?

    The family tradition is broken!

    When Fei Hong and Fei Cai were alive, Fei's family was not allowed to divide his family and properties, and brothers and sisters must unite and love each other.  Fei's descendants are not allowed to indulge in pleasure, even if they have the honor of juren, they also strictly stipulate the number of servants, and they can take one or two at most when they go out.

    But now, the family rules that prohibit family separation have been completely destroyed long ago, and countless small branches have been separated.

    Instead of working together, the various sects competed and annexed each other, and even secretly colluded with outsiders.

    ?The businessmen sent to Fujian and Zhejiang set up their own houses directly in other provinces, and the huge family power was dismembered into countless parts.

    People's hearts are scattered, and they can't get together.

    The descendants of the Fei family also gradually became indifferent to the imperial examinations, and usually indulged in enjoyment, and they could buy a low-ranking official if they were admitted to the scholar.  If it is enough to be a scholar, you can cheat if you can, and if you can't cheat, you will be old for life.

    After a while, a group of buildings on the hillside appeared in Zhao Han's sight, covering an area of ??at least two to three hundred acres.

    More than a hundred clansmen and house slaves stood at the door waiting for the young master to return.

    The leader is Fei Yinghuan's second brother Fei Yingqi, followed by his third brother Fei Yingke.

    "Brother!" The two brothers stepped forward to salute.

    The sliding pole fell to the ground, and immediately a servant helped Fei Yinghuan down.

    Young Master Fei saluted and asked, "Where is fourth brother?"

    Fei Yingqi replied: "The fourth brother doesn't stay at home all day, and he doesn't know where he went crazy. Big brother, come in quickly, and the two elders are waiting for you at home."

    On the threshold of the main entrance, there is a brazier.

    Fei Yinghuan stepped over the brazier, which can remove the bad luck of being infected all the way.

    As for the Zhao Han brothers and sisters, as well as Wei Jianxiong and other house slaves, they could only enter through the side door by detour.

    The strict etiquette and rules were immediately revealed.

    No matter how close Fei Yinghuan and Wei Jianxiong are, even if they are as close as brothers, a master is a master, a slave is a slave, and the gap in status cannot be bridged.

    Zhao Han took the little sister's hand, followed Wei Jianxiong into the side door, and turned around to a courtyard.

    Wei Jianxiong explained: "This is the Young Master's Jingxing Garden. There are more than twenty rooms nearby, all of which are the Young Master's private land. Unless you are summoned, you are not allowed to enter the third courtyard."

    "Thank you, Uncle Wei, for your guidance." Zhao Han clasped his fists and said.

    The three of them came to Wei Jianxiong's room and waited to be dealt with.

    After waiting for a while, Fei Yinghuan saw that his parents hadn't returned, but the book boy who grew up with him came.

    Wei Jianxiong introduced: "This is Mr. Fei Lin, the general manager of Jingxingyuan."

    Zhao Han immediately pulled his younger sister to salute: "The boy has met Guanshi Fei."

    "Brother Wei is well," Fei Lin first smiled and recalled the old days with Wei Jianxiong, and suddenly asked Zhao Han expressionlessly, "Are you the boy brought back by the young master?"

    Zhao Han could only salute again: "Boy Zhao Han, I have met Guanshi Fei."

    Fei Lin immediately called a maid and said, "Mo Xiang, take the siblings to the Zhongqin Courtyard and pick a good house for them."

    Before Zhao Han left, Fei Lin smiled again, and put his arms around Wei Jianxiong: "Brother Wei, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, let's go have a drink."

    Under the family rules of etiquette, servants are also divided into many levels.

    Perhaps Fei Yinghuan was more talkative, but Fei Lin, the manager, had to be careful.

    Go fuck the rules

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 018 [Convincing people with reasoning]

    The maid, Mo Xiang, is not very old, about twenty years old, with a beautiful appearance, and has not yet married.

    There was a time when Fei Yinghuan suddenly became interested and wanted to play Hongxiu Tianxiang's night reading.  So through the toothmaid, I bought a Lehu girl who was good at poetry and books, and she was full-time studying ink, reading books, singing poems, and giving supper, and named the girl Moxiang.

    Gradually, Young Master Fei got a little addicted to it.

    Although his wife, Lou Shi, was jealous, she did not cry or make trouble, nor did she beat or scold the maid, but took concubines for her husband with great fanfare.

    It is neither a maid, nor a slave, but a regular concubine.  Send Mo Xiang, a lowly maidservant, to be hired by a matchmaker, and a contract will be reported to the official, and she will be accepted as a concubine of a good family!

    This matter is insulting to the family, and its nature is quite bad.

    The old man of the Fei family was furious when he heard the news, beat Fei Yinghuan violently, and ordered no women to appear in his study, so as not to delay his study for the imperial examination due to female sex.

    Mo Xiang, who was in charge of the study, turned into the young lady's maid. In addition to sweeping the courtyard, she also did some errands for sending messages and welcoming guests.

    Obviously, the young lady of Fei's family is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

    And Mo Xiang is not simple. She has served the eldest and young mistress for many years, but she was not caught and beaten to death directly!

    Bringing the two brothers and sisters into the courtyard, Mo Xiang smiled and introduced: "Several main rooms live in Guanshi Fei's family. The young master's servant boy lives in the east wing, and there are still three vacant rooms. You brothers and sisters can choose whatever you want.  one."

    Zhao Han didn't look at the side rooms, but carefully observed the main room.

    Steward Fei is worthy of being a high-class domestic slave. His quality of life is far superior to that of a small landlord. The house he lives in is also spacious and bright, and he even has a main room of his own.

    Zhao Han asked curiously, "Why does Uncle Wei live here?"

    Mo Xiang smiled and said: "Master Wei thinks the house is too big, he really can't get used to it, so he insists on moving outside to live in a small house."

    Lord Wei?

    It seems that Wei Jianxiong has a very high status!

    The three vacant rooms in the east wing were visited by the brother and sister quickly, and the layout was exactly the same.  Not shabby, not luxurious, the style is more rustic.

    Zhao Han pointed casually: "Just this one."

    Mo Xiang said: "I'll ask someone to bring over the bed, bedding, towels and washbasin, and you can buy the rest of the daily necessities yourself."

    Zhao Han asked, "Where is the meal?"

    Mo Xiang replied: "Madam Ling will arrange it."

    "Who is Mrs. Ling?" Zhao Han was completely confused.

    Mo Xiang was still smiling, but with sarcasm in his smile: "Mrs. Ling is the official wife of Fei Guanshi."

    For a household slave in charge, can his wife be called his wife?

    Moreover, Mo Xiang deliberately emphasized that he is a regular wife. Could it be possible that this steward can still take concubines?

    What a hell!

    After Mo Xiang left, Zhao Zhenfang finally spoke.

    The little girl ran around the room, circling with her arms outstretched, jumping up and down and saying, "Second brother, this room is really big! Shall we live here from now on?"

    Zhao Han warned seriously: "I will live here, but the house is not ours. You must not treat this as your own home. When we grow up, the second brother will take you to find the elder sister."

    "Well, I remember," Zhao Zhenfang said, "As long as I can find my eldest sister, I can live in any small house."

    Not long after, another servant woman came to help the brother and sister make the bed and fold the quilt, and left daily necessities such as chamber pot, washbasin, toothbrush and so on.

    Only toothbrush, no tooth powder.

    Tooth powder needs to be purchased by yourself, which is a bit expensive.  The main ingredient is salt, and Chinese medicine, high-end products and even spices are added, and there is a fresh fragrance between breaths.

    If you are reluctant to buy tooth powder, just brush your teeth with clean water.

    It is also the privilege of Zhongqinyuan to provide free toothbrushes, and few low-level servants outside brush their teeth.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Zhao Han was cleaning the house when someone knocked on the door frantically.

    When he opened the door, Zhao Han suddenly smiled, and there were more than a dozen kids standing outside.

    Three servant boys dressed in silk stood side by side at the front. Judging by their arrogant expressions, they knew they were looking for trouble.

    The other little kids wore more ordinary clothes, and almost everyone had patches on their clothes.

    "My name is Qin Xin, and I specialize in serving the young master to play the piano!"

    "My name is Jian Dan, and I specialize in serving the young master's sword dance!"

    "My name is Jiu Po, and I specialize in serving the young master to drink!"

    The three boys reported themselves to their families, and their tone of voice was extremely proud. They were selected from many families.

    First of all, you must be handsome.; Qin Xin hurriedly chimed in: "Yes, a gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands, it's degrading for you to beat people like this!"

    As expected of Juren's servant boy, he also knows what it means to be insulting, and presumably he has read a few sage books.

    Zhao Han began to pull up the banner as a tiger skin, and said with his head held high: "My martial art was taught by Master Wei himself. If anyone refuses to accept it, he can make a gesture with me at any time!"

    Master Wei's apprentice?

    The children started to be dazed again, as if they had kicked an iron board.

    Jiu Po ??seemed to have learned how to change faces in Sichuan opera, and instantly put on a flattering smile, and his body was also three points shorter: "We are all brothers, we don't know each other if we don't fight"

    "Shut up!"

    Zhao Han interrupted sharply: "Since we are brothers, we should distinguish between big and small. Who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother?"

    All the children were stunned and looked at each other.

    Zhao Han raised his fist: "The one with the big fist is the elder brother, if you don't kneel down and call him elder brother!"

    No one answered, and they couldn't wipe their faces.

    Zhao Han grabbed Jiu Po's skirt suddenly, and asked, "Kneeling or not?"

    "Kneel!"

    Jiu Po ??hurriedly knelt down, thinking that if a good man doesn't suffer the immediate loss, today's humiliation will be returned ten times in the future.  Immediately kowtowed and shouted: "Jiu Po ??pays homage to brother."

    Zhao Han pointed at his younger sister again: "I still want to pay homage to my sister."

    Jiu Po ??blushed, clenched his fists, and shouted bravely, "See you, sister."

    Zhao Zhenfang was a little scared: "Stand stand up and say."

    Zhao Han asked Qin Xin again: "What about you?"

    Qin Xin gritted her teeth and said, "I won't kneel even if I'm beaten to death!"

    Zhao Han immediately made a gesture to fight.

    "Brother!" Qin Xin knelt down with a bang.

    After convincing people with reasoning, more than a dozen children were convinced and bowed down to their elder brother and elder sister one after another.

    Zhao Zhenfang, who was only six years old, had more than a dozen stinky younger brothers at once.

    Jian Dan, whose mouth was broken, was still a little dizzy, and asked cautiously: "Brother, can we go?"

    "Not urgent."

    Zhao Han took the burden, took out ten taels of silver, and stuffed it into Jian Dan's hand: "Brothers, today we don't know each other if we don't fight. Since I have been worshiped by everyone and become your elder brother, I should show it. Especially  It’s Brother Jiandan, the corner of his mouth is scratched, and the silver is used to buy some food and supplements. As for the remaining silver, I will share it with the brothers for tea.”

    "Brother is bold!"

    A group of little kids were overjoyed immediately.

    Although Qin Xin, Jian Dan and Jiu Po ??can wear silk, they don't have much money at all.

    The silk clothes are the work clothes that Fei Yinghuan bought for the servant boy in order to pretend to be aggressive.

    Even if they get rewards occasionally, they have to give them to their parents, and their parents are also Fei's domestic servants.

    Ten taels of silver, even if more than a dozen people share it equally, it is still a huge sum of money for them.

    The humiliation of being forced to kneel just now disappeared in an instant, and everyone happily clamored for the money.

    In the end, Qin Xin, Jian Dan and Jiu Po ??each got two taels, and the rest was distributed to other children.

    All the children were divided instantly, and the rest of the children felt that it was unfair, thinking that Qin, Jian, and Jiu were too stingy.

    Newly worshiped brother, we have agreed to share the money.

    Why do you three take away six taels of silver?

    Jian Dan was also a little unhappy, thinking that the corner of his mouth was broken, so he should be given more, Qin Xin and Jiu Po ??shouldn't be like him.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 019【Stories】

    Zhongqinyuan, the main house.

    A house boy helped to carry things in, but when he left, he was stopped by the maid: "Don't hurry, Madam has something to ask you."

    The house boy stopped immediately and followed the maid to the back room.

    Mrs. Ling, the wife of Fei Lin, the chief manager of Jing Xingyuan, is wearing a scarlet robe at the moment, with hairpin ornaments all over her head. At first glance, she thought she was a young lady from some family.

    The courtiers dared to wear boa robes in private without being rewarded by the emperor.

    House slaves are presumptuous and dare to wear silk in private without the consent of their masters.

    The collapse of ritual and music is like this.

    Madam Ling hugged a cat and asked casually, "Who did you fight with again?"

    The house boy knelt on the ground and replied: "Report to Madam, I accidentally dropped it."

    "Nonsense, can you still get slap marks on your face?" Mrs. Ling sneered.

    The family boy had no choice but to say: "When there was a quarrel, there was a fight."

    Mrs. Ling asked: "The two new family boys in the East Chamber, I heard that you went to find him bad luck?"

    The family boy replied: "Brother Jian Dan said that he wanted to give us a killing blow, so he took us there. The fight was fierce, we are not opponents, I heard that we are apprentices taught by Master Wei."

    "Wei Jianxiong?" Mrs. Ling frowned, and told the family boy, "Keep an eye on it from now on, the new boy doesn't understand the rules, and if you do something wrong, you have to write it down and let me know."

    The house boy quickly said, "Listen to Madam."

    Madam Ling called the maid: "Give him some tea money."

    The maid immediately took out a bunch of copper coins, and the family boy took it happily, and kowtowed in gratitude and left.

    After leaving the room, the family boy counted carefully, and there were only thirty coins in Yunnan.

    Moreover, it is not the Jiajing Tongbao with good appearance and full of materials, but the shoddy Wanli Tongbao!

    The family boy murmured in his heart: "What is Mrs. Ling? She is petty, that is, the low life of the current people, and she still wants to be a young mistress? Thirty yuan is bad money, don't want me to betray Brother Zhao!"

    Qin Xin, Jian Dan, and Jiu Po ??each received two taels of silver. Although Jian Dan was a little unhappy, he never said anything strange.

    The remaining four taels of silver will be divided equally among the twelve household children.

    However, after being converted into copper coins, there was another fight over the uneven distribution of spoils.  The family boy in front of him had the injury on his face caused by a fight, even if he lost the fight, he would still get 80 cents!

    It doesn't matter whether the fight is won or lost, no matter how much you get, anyway, the family children have already recognized Zhao Han.

    I got 80 Wen of good money from Zhao Han, and 30 Wen of bad money from Mrs. Ling, who should I talk to in my heart?

    The so-called Mrs. Ling used to be the maid of the old lady, and later became the maid of the youngest mistress Lou.

    Because of trying to seduce the eldest young master, the Lou family resolutely betrothed to Fei Lin, who was just a schoolboy at that time.

    The book boy Fei Lin gradually gained power and was promoted to the chief manager of Jingxingyuan, but his wife also regarded herself as his wife, forcing the slaves to respect her as Mrs. Ling.

    Fei Lin and Mrs. Ling have two sons, one of whom is the book boy of Young Master (Fei Yinghuan's silly son).

    The couple have already received news that the children brought back by Fei Yinghuan are also planning to throw them away to be the young master's book boy.

    This is not allowed, the prince's beautiful errand is not allowed to be touched by anyone!

    Of course they didn't dare to act recklessly, otherwise Fei Yinghuan would be offended, so they planned to slowly observe and make trouble, and sooner or later they would drive Zhao Han brothers and sisters out of Fei's house.

    There are many bad things in the imperial court, and there are also many bad things in the wealthy family.

    "Ma'am, young mistress called you over." The servant girl came to report suddenly.

    Upon hearing this, Madam Ling got up immediately, pulled off all the accessories on her head, and washed off the makeup on her face.  He took off the luxurious red Luoyi, put on a common one, and trotted towards the inner courtyard with a humble smile

    Mrs. Lou is thirty-eight years old this year. She still has charm, dignified and beautiful. She comes from the Lou family in Jiujiang.

    After the Poyang Lake War, Zhu Yuanzhang moved a group of refugees and stayed in Jiujiang for military reclamation.  The ancestor of the Lou family in Jiujiang was one of the military personnel, who had been converted to civilian registration during the Hongwu period.

    When King Ning rebelled, Concubine Ning was Lou's daughter.  And Princess Ning's younger sister is also married to Fei Cai.

    Fei refused to support King Ning's rebellion, his ancestral house was burned and his ancestral grave was destroyed.  Fei Hong, a cabinet minister who became an official, was assassinated many times. Fei Hong's elder brother was killed and his younger brother was also kidnapped. The whole family hid in Qianshan County to guard.

    Both the Fei family and the Lou family suffered heavy losses due to the rebellion of King Ning, and the two families have long been united as one through intermarriage.

    When Fei Yinghuan returned to Jiangxi, he stayed in Jiujiang for several days.?Also appeared on the battlefield in the story: "My young master, Uncle Wei, and I followed Wangzhi County to travel day and night, marched eighty miles in one breath, and arrived outside Duliu Town at five o'clock. At that time, the night was dark and windy, and the bandit  The camp stretched for several miles, and the spies reported that there were tens of thousands of people. On our side, there are only more than 500 warriors. They are not serious officers and soldiers, they are all temporary recruits"

    The three of them were stunned for a moment.

    Zhao Han continued: "More than five hundred warriors, divided into two teams, surrounded by three and missing one"

    Jian Dan interjected: "Divided into two teams, why are there three teams and one missing?"

    Zhao Han explained: "The town is built on the side of the Grand Canal, and the canal also helps us surround it."

    "I see." Jiu Po ??suddenly realized.

    Zhao Han started talking nonsense again: "Uncle Wei and I were standing next to the young master. Each of us carried more than ten torches, put all the torches on the ground and lit them, and held one in each hand. We only heard the drums beating, and we held up  The torches were waved, the shouts of killing were loud, and tens of thousands of people from five hundred villages fought together."

    Jiu Po ??slapped his thigh and commented: "Hey, the bandits are afraid to pee their pants in fright!"

    "Isn't it?" Zhao Han continued to make up nonsense, "The tens of thousands of bandit soldiers were frightened into stupidity by more than 500 of us, crying for their parents and screaming all over the ground. I followed the young master to the bandit camp and saw  The tents were set on fire, and the whole place was in flames, turning the night into day. Uncle Wei held up a wrought iron rod, and when he saw the bandits, he smashed them down, killing one with one rod, and there is no need for a second move!"

    Jian Dan heard his blood boil, and asked: "Where is the young master?"

    Zhao Han said: "Of course the young master is also very brave. He swung his sword and cut several people in a row. But the young master is kind-hearted, saying that the thieves are poor people who can't eat enough. After fighting for a while, he didn't want to do more crimes.  Put your sword back into its sheath, and take out your folding fan to watch the moon in the bandit camp!"

    The three family children looked at each other, and they were sure that Zhao Han hadn't made it up, because Fei Yinghuan was really capable of doing such a thing.

    Jiu Po ??asked: "How many bandits did my brother kill?"

    Zhao Han said: "I couldn't run fast when I was young, so I only killed six."

    Hiss!

    The three of them gasped, Zhao Han actually had six lives in his hands, how could they afford such a killing?

    After some nonsense, Zhao Han said: "Back to the county government office, the magistrate Wang rewarded me with twenty taels of silver for my contribution to killing the enemy."

    Qin Xin couldn't help asking: "So, half of the money on my brother's body was taken out and distributed to us yesterday?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Money is something outside of the body, so what if you have tens of thousands of taels, how can it compare to making three good brothers?"

    The three of them stood in awe, and were suddenly moved inexplicably.

    Just as I was about to say more, I suddenly heard a shout from outside: "Mrs. Ling is giving me a lecture, all the servants in the courtyard are coming here!"

    (Thanks to the swaying clouds, the tree is like this 12, the head coach of the eight million eagle knights at the starting point, the cold wind, the Boshuwu, and the leader of Nevin Moore for the reward, and also thank the many elders and guardians of the Dharma Hall.  Apprentice rewards, too many people will not name names. Thank you! ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 020【Young Lady Lou】

    Zhao Han finally met the legendary Mrs. Ling.

    He looks good, and his figure is not bad, but he is a bit pretentious.

    "Master Governor, he will be coming to E Lake in a few days, and he specified that he wants to sit in our Jingxingyuan. The young lady ordered to choose a few capable servants and maids to serve Master Governor"

    "What kind of person is the governor? That is the Wenqu star descending from the sky. You low-spirited brats who have been able to serve the governor have been burned for several lifetimes! Let me put the ugly words first, and if anything goes wrong, I will personally  break his leg"

    "Fei'an, Feilong, the day the governor climbed Ehu Mountain, the two of you followed and served"

    Jiu Po ??was standing next to Zhao Han, and said in a low voice at this moment: "Fei An used to be called Ling An, and was Madam Ling's natal nephew. Fei Long was also the young master's servant in the past.  It's called Jian Dan, and it has been changed back to its original name."

    Well, Qin Xin, Sword Gallbladder, and Wine Pore originally belonged to the job titles, and they have to be changed when they exceed the age.

    Zhao Han asked curiously: "Since the sword gall is here, what about the piano heart and wine soul of the previous generation?"

    Jiu Po ??replied in detail: "Qin Xin went to Hanzhu Academy and worked as a teaching assistant in the academy.  In Ehu Town, I work as the deputy shopkeeper of a store, and I can get six taels of silver every month. I am also a wine soul, and I want to go to the store in the future.  If everything goes well in the accounting room outside of the year, you can be promoted to deputy shopkeeper in five years. If you become the full shopkeeper one day, you will be able to earn twelve taels a month!"

    Zhao Han instantly understood that Fei Yinghuan, as the young master, could let his people out and take over the family business step by step!

    While the two muttered, Mrs. Ling had already made arrangements.

    The people in charge of logistics and purchasing are all her confidantes, so there is obviously lucrative money to be made.

    The person in charge of waiting around is either her confidant or Fei Yinghuan's key training object.  She also intentionally left a small number of places, and will not announce it to the public for the time being, waiting for those who are willing to pay tribute to come to work.

    After the lecture is over, everyone goes back to their respective places.

    Qin Xin, Jian Dan, and Jiu Po ??wanted to hear the story of killing thieves, so they surrounded Zhao Han and his sister back to the house.

    Zhao Han didn't brag immediately, but asked: "I'm new here, so it's understandable that I didn't have a job. Why did the three brothers, who have long been the young master's confidantes, get nothing this time?"

    Qin Xin's expression was quite proud, and she sneered disdainfully: "She is also worthy of us?"

    Jiu Po ??explained: "The errands of the three of us are all handled by the inner courtyard. We just eat and live in the Zhongqin courtyard. By the way, who led the elder brother to live in?"

    "Moxiang." Zhao Han replied.

    Jian Dan said with a smile: "Brother is the same as us, he is his own person, he is only sent by the inner court, so don't be afraid of Mrs. Ling."

    Jiu Po ??added: "But don't provoke her easily."

    "She has a great background? How dare a domestic slave call herself his wife." Zhao Han was a little curious.

    Jiu Po ??looked back and found that the door had been closed, gossiped in a low voice: "She used to be the maid of the old lady, she was loved by the old lady, and she was even raised as a half daughter. When the young lady was pregnant, the old lady took care of her  The purpose of sending her to Jing Xingyuan was to warm the bed for the young master as a concubine. The young lady was not happy, and forcibly betrothed her to Guanshi Fei, who was only the young master's schoolboy at that time."

    "Young madam is doing this, so the old madam won't say anything?" Zhao Han asked.

    Jian Dan couldn't help gossiping: "The old madam is naturally angry, she can't keep up with her face. But the young madam is also very angry, she even went back to her mother's house with a big belly, and the young master took a boat for a day and a night before chasing her back!"

    Zhao Han felt very interesting, like watching an ancient costume drama.

    A maid, she managed to win the favor of the old lady, and went to serve the young master as she wished.  Taking advantage of his wife's pregnancy, he didn't know how to persuade the old lady. She could be a concubine for the young master, but she was betrothed by the wife to the school boy!

    Heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper.

    This Mrs. Ling obviously still dreams of being a wife. Although she can't make her dream come true, she can enjoy her addiction in front of her slaves

    In another two days.

    Fei Yinghuan was summoned by Henglin's ancestral house, hurried to Hekou Town, and accompanied the governor of Jiangxi the whole way.

    Brother and sister Zhao Han, do nothing for the time being, eat and sleep well every day.

    The work of being a book boy for the young master seems to have been forgotten, and the little sister has no arrangements for the time being.

    However, Young Master Fei fought bloody against the rebels, and he was so happysp; "Brother Han," Yingchun warned suddenly, "If you encounter difficult matters and you cannot enter the inner court, you can't see the young master and young wife, you can go to Zhong Liang from the Zhongqin Institute."

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your suggestion, sister."

    Returning to Zhongqinyuan, Zhao Han first found Jiu Po, and inquired about the news on the sidelines.

    Jiu Po ??opened the window and pointed to an old servant who was watering the big tree: "Here, he is Zhong Liang, who is full-time sweeping and watering Zhongqinyuan and Cuizhu Lane."

    "Are you familiar with him?" Zhao Han asked again.

    Jiu Po ??smiled and said: "An old guy who sweeps the floor and waters the water, why should I know him well?"

    Well, even Jiu Po ??doesn't know, there is an old servant here who is the eyeliner of the inner courtyard.

    The young mistress, Mrs. Lou, obviously knew everything about Zhongqinyuan, including Guanshi Fei's wife, who considered herself a wife.

    There are no more than two reasons why I didn't turn my face:

    First, Guanshi Fei was born as a schoolboy of Fei Yinghuan.

    Second, Mrs. Ling was born as the maid of the old lady.

    One day Fei's old lady, Fei Yinghuan's own mother, kicks her legs and dies, and the young mistress Lou's face will be torn apart!

    Zhao Han pondered carefully whether he belonged to the young master or the young mistress Lou.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 021 [Mahjong Improver]

    The next day, early morning.

    Dong Fu, a maid from the inner courtyard, quietly came to Zhongqinyuan.

    The mighty Mrs. Ling immediately went out to greet her when she heard the news, and said flatteringly, "What is Miss Dongfu's order? Is it the job of the governor?"

    Dong Fu remained expressionless, and said slowly: "At the order of the Young Madam, I came to pick up a girl from you."

    "May I ask which girl it is?" Mrs. Ling asked.

    Dong Fu said: "Zhao Zhenfang."

    Mrs. Ling's expression was a little displeased, but her smile returned instantly, and she immediately scolded the maid beside her: "Don't go and bring Zhao Zhenfang!"

    "No, I'll go there in person." While speaking, Dong Fu had already stepped forward.

    Madam Ling hurriedly followed, looking for something to say: "Miss Dongfu rarely comes to Zhongqin Court, why not have a cup of tea before leaving? A few days ago, my husband went to Gongbei Court to serve as an servant, and the master gave him two taels of good river black tea.  .”

    He black tea is a local specialty of Qianshan Mountain, which has been sold all over the world and is very popular among European nobles.

    "Since the master rewarded me with good tea, I'm afraid I, a servant girl, will not be blessed to enjoy it." Dong Fu walked slowly to the east chamber without looking sideways, and knocked on the door lightly, "Is Brother Han there?"

    Zhao Han pushed the door open: "I am, say hello to my sister."

    Dong Fu finally smiled, and introduced himself: "Brother Han, my name is Dong Fu, and I am the young lady's maid."

    "So it's Sister Dongfu." Zhao Han saluted.

    Dong Fu Dao explained the purpose of his visit: "I am here to take Zhenfang's sister to the inner courtyard."

    Zhao Han greeted him respectfully: "Please sit inside the room, sister."

    "Forget it, let's go sit down." Dong Fu entered the room with a smile.

    Zhao Han said again: "Madam Ling, please come in."

    This title made Mrs. Ling a little panicked, and subconsciously looked at Dongfu.

    Dong Fu had already entered the house without turning his head, as if he hadn't heard anything.

    Mrs. Ling followed anxiously, looked around at the furnishings in the house, and said loudly, "It's a bit shabby, and this wash stand is broken. I don't know how many years it has been used. I'll send someone a new one when I turn back."

    Zhao Han said: "Thank you Madam for your kindness. I am just a house boy, and my body is not that expensive."

    "Don't call me madam, isn't this cutting my life?" Madam Ling became more and more attentive, "Brother Han is highly regarded by the young master and young madam, if he still uses a broken wash stand, wouldn't it be disgraceful to the young master and young madam?"

    While speaking, Zhao Zhenfang took the initiative to pour water for the guests.

    Chipped porcelain cups, old clay jugs, ordinary cold boiled water.

    Dongfu picked up the cup and drank it. At the same time, he looked at Zhao Zhenfang and praised: "It's really cute and sensible."

    Madam Ling seemed a little disgusted. She picked up the broken cup and didn't drink it, and she was embarrassed to put it down.  She even thought the bench was dirty and torn, and was afraid of staining her clothes, so she just stood there holding a water glass and smiling, and by the way, she could show her respect for Dongfu.

    After taking two sips, Dong Fu put down the cup, took Zhao Zhenfang's hand and said, "Let's go with my sister."

    The siblings communicated with each other last night, and Zhao Zhenfang said reluctantly, "Second Brother, I'm leaving."

    "Go, so you can be obedient." Zhao Han encouraged.

    After sending his sister to the gate of the inner courtyard, Zhao Han returned to the Zhongqin courtyard alone, and Mrs. Ling had long since disappeared.

    Qin Xin, Jian Dan and Jiu Po, the Hum Ha trio, came to congratulate together.

    There are almost no male servants in the inner courtyard, and the maids and maids there really eat and sleep with the master.

    Don't look at their lack of presence, they hardly show up at ordinary times, but when anyone comes to Zhongqinyuan, Mrs. Ling has to be careful.

    The little girl was taken to the inner courtyard, not only was she worth a hundred times, but even Zhao Han was honored.

    Does Zhao Han need to be exposed?

    He just admired the young mistress Lou Shi, who did things with kindness and prestige without making people feel disgusted.

    The younger sister was taken to the inner courtyard for training, which can be regarded as a reward or as a hostage.

    Whether it is kindness or prestige is entirely up to Zhao Han himself

    In the afternoon of that day, Zhao Han was reading "Law of the Ming Dynasty" by heart.

    He forgot to return this legal book when he left Jinghai County, and the old officials of the county government were embarrassed to ask for it.

    Suddenly, the maid Mo Xiang came to the East Chamber to send an order: "Qin Xin, Jian Dan, Jiu Po, and Brother Han, pack up your clothes and go to Yongping Town immediately!"

    The hum-ha trio who were playing cards in the room suddenly jumped up and down, packing up for a business trip in a panic.

    Mo Xiang handed Zhao Han a bookcase: "Brother Han, this is your outfit."

    "Thank you, sister." Zhao Han took the bookcase with a smile.

    &nbsp; Mo Xiang yelled into the house again: "Hurry up, pick up your gear and leave, you can change your clothes when you get on the boat!"

    It seems that the task is urgent.

    "Come on, come on!"

    The trio ran out of the house, Qin Xin was carrying a qin, Jian Dan was carrying a sword, and Jiu Po ??was holding a jar of wine.

    Together with them, Zhao Han left from the side door of Fei's house and trotted all the way to Ehu Town. Someone picked them up at the pier.

    The passenger boat went down the Xinjiang River, the oars were rowed very quickly, and it seemed that they were madly in a hurry.

    Tired from running all the way, lying on the boat to breathe for a while, Zhao Han finally calmed down and asked, "What is so urgent?"

    Qin Xin guessed: "It must be the governor, who changed his itinerary temporarily and went to other places to visit mountains and rivers."

    Jiu Po ??took out a comb and a red-haired rope: "Brother, I'll give you a bun first."

    "Why is it red?" Zhao Han was somewhat conflicted.

    Jiu Po ??held the red headband and said with a smile, "It's red and festive."

    Zhao Han asked, "Are there any other colors?"

    "How about this?" Jian Dan handed over a navy blue hair rope.

    "It's okay." Zhao Han reluctantly accepted.

    Jiu Po ??combed Zhao Han's hair, Jian Dan combed Qin Xin's hair, and soon they combed into a double bun. For specific hairstyles, please refer to Nezha.

    After combing each other's buns, they changed into work clothes, and the four of them lay down in the boat with their eyes closed and chatted nonsense.

    Qin Xin is already fourteen years old, and in two years, she should be ordered to change jobs.  He didn't know which unit to go to, so he asked his brothers to give some good advice while taking the boat.

    Jian Dan suggested: "Go to the academy, first work as a handyman in the library for two years, and then study with Mr. for a few years, then you can be a teaching assistant to teach children."

    Jiu Po ??said: "Although being a teaching assistant is leisurely and face-saving, you can't earn a lot of money. It's better to ask for an errand in a shop, or go to a paper mill. The monthly salary of the shopkeeper can get ten taels, which is good enough to pay back at the end of the year."  There are bonuses."

    Lead Mountain is not only a trade distribution center, but also has many special products.

    Qianshanhe black tea is sold all over the world, and Qianshan is also famous for its four papers. The paper industry can be traced back to the later Han Dynasty.

    Qin Xin murmured: "I want to be free and decent, but also want to earn enough money. Brothers, can you find a way?"

    Jiu Po ??couldn't help laughing and said: "There is a way."

    "What method?" Qin Xin asked hastily.

    Jiu Po ??pointed out in detail: "Get out of the cabin, jump into the Xin River, reincarnate, and be the young master in the next life."

    "Hahahahaha!" Jian Dan laughed loudly.

    Zhao Han couldn't help laughing, he gave a thumbs up and said, "It really is a good idea."

    Qin Xin had no choice but to roll her eyes in return, lying down and said: "Oh, then I'd better go to the academy, at least I can live a decent life."

    "Don't talk about it, it's still early to go to Yongping, let's play cards for fun." Jiu Po ??took out a set of Mohe cards from his arms.

    This thing is the predecessor of mahjong, but it still belongs to the form of playing cards, which are divided into three suits: Wenqian (cake), Suozi (tiao), and Wanguan (ten thousand).

    The two cakes of the mahjong tiles probably originally represented two Wen coins, and Er Tiao represented two pennies.

    Zhao Han quickly figured out how to play, thinking about how to improve it someday, because this original version of mahjong only has 60 cards, and three pairs plus a pair (11 cards) can win the game.

    After playing a few hands, I felt weak, because there were only two cards in each suit.

    Since there are only two cards of the same suit, you can't touch them, and you can't open the bars. What's the point of missing the mahjong with the flowers on the bars?

    Zhao Han suddenly asked: "Who still has the cards?"

    "I have." Jian Dan also took out a pair.

    Zhao Han said: "Two decks of cards are played together, and each player starts with three more cards."

    "Then how to play?" Qin Xin felt unreliable.

    Ever since, Zhao Han taught mahjong hand in hand, and the three of them were soon addicted to it.

    ?There are already Hongzhong, Facai, and Whiteboard, but unfortunately there is no wind from southeast to northwest.

    In the evening, we finally arrived at Hekou Town.

    The boat did not stop, but lit the lanterns, turned and sailed into the Yanshan River, and went straight to the Yanshan County.

    The four of them took out dry food, sat around in the cabin, and ate cakes with clear water.

    By the way, light up the night battle and continue playing mahjong with the oil lamp on.

    ?Docking at Yongping Town in the middle of the night, everyone realized that it was too late, and hurriedly put away the mahjong and fell asleep.

    ?From Ehu Lake to Yongping, this toss is purely due to Jiangxi governor's convulsion, and suddenly said that he would pay homage to Xin Qiji's tomb.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 022【Incorruptible Governor】

    In the Ming Dynasty, the county seat of Qianshan was not in Hekou Town on the bank of Xinjiang River, but in Yongping Town on the bank of Qianshan River.

    Early morning.

    Feng Xun, magistrate of Qianshan Mountain, waited at the hotel early, with many scholars standing behind him.

    Fei Yinghuan yawned as he waited there, slandering the governor endlessly in his heart. If the patriarch and his own father hadn't repeatedly admonished him, he wouldn't bother wasting time with this retarded man.

    I don't know how long it took, a servant opened the door, and the governor Wei Zhao walked out, followed by only a middle-aged servant.

    Both the master and the servant are dressed in simple clothes, showing what is clean and honest.

    "Ashamed, ashamed, I kept you waiting for so long." Wei Zhaocheng clasped his fists and smiled.

    Feng Xun, the county magistrate, stepped forward immediately, and said with an apologetic smile, "Mr. Yao Hai, don't blame yourself. It's just because I came early."

    "I have met Yao Haigong." All the scholars saluted one after another.

    Wei Zhaocheng stroked his beard, raised his eyes, nodded with a smile, "It seems that there are a few more talented people in the county today."

    Feng Xun hurriedly introduced the new face: "This is Hu Mengtai, the son of this county, whose name is Youli."

    Hu Mengtai cupped his hands and bowed: "The younger generation has met Yao Haigong."

    Wei Zhaocheng saw that although this person was dressed in ordinary clothes, the jade pendant on his waist was very valuable, so he knew at a glance that he was from a local rich family.  His smile became more and more cordial, and he took Hu Mengtai's hand and said, "Youli is a talented person. He has been elected at such a young age, and he will be the pillar of the country in the future!"

    "The younger generation is ashamed of Yao Haigong's false praise." Hu Mengtai said modestly.

    After some discussion, Feng Xun introduced again: "This is Ren Yijuan, the county magistrate"

    "But after Mr. Si'an (Ren Xiyi)?" Wei Zhaocheng asked hastily.

    Ren Yijuan couldn't hide the pride on his face, he cupped his hands and said, "I'm a late student, and I'll pay my respects to Yao Haigong."

    Wei Zhaocheng immediately held hands to encourage him: "Mr. Si'an is a hero of Confucianism, you should work hard to learn, and don't fall into the name of your ancestors."

    Ren Xiyi was a direct disciple of Zhu Xi, and the posthumous titles of Zhu Xi, Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Zhang Zai, etc. were all requested by Ren Xiyi, and he was therefore regarded as a great contributor to Neo Confucianism.

    As a descendant of Ren Xiyi, Ren Yijuan quickly said: "The teachings of the seniors are like Hong Zhong Dalu, and the juniors will never dare or forget them."

    This set of hypocritical tricks is still going on.

    Fei Yinghuan stood in front of the hotel gate, wanting to kill the governor with a sword.

    Grinding and chirping, trying to gain fame and reputation, makes people feel disgusting!

    Two days ago, Fei Yinghuan was held by Wei Zhaocheng in the same way at his ancestral home in Henglin.

    At that time, he was a little flattered, but he soon discovered that as long as he was a scholar from a rich family, he would be held by Wei Zhao for a long time.

    Inquire carefully again, good guy, the upstart of the imperial court.

    ?The governor of Jiangxi last year was called Yang Bangxian. This gentleman was far away from the capital and did not know about the coup.  Zhou Dunyi, Cheng Hao, and Cheng Yi were invited out of the Sanxian Temple and the statue of Wei Zhongxian was moved in. Jiangxi Sanxian Temple turned into the living temple of Wei Gonggong.

    One is a fool, the ending can be imagined.

    Lu Wenwen, the censor of Zuo Fudu, was immediately elected governor of Jiangxi, and was impeached and dismissed before leaving Beijing.

    Zhang Tiaosu, the imperial envoy of the right deputy capital, took over the post of governor of Jiangxi.  This man left Beijing anyway, but unfortunately he was halfway, and was impeached and dismissed out of nowhere.

    Wei Zhaocheng, this guy, is in charge of the official department, and his teacher is Chen Yuting, the censor of Nanjing Youdu.

    After Chongzhen overthrew Wei Zhongxian, Chen Yuting participated in Nanjing's Beijing inspection affairs, and Wei Zhaocheng participated in the statistics of official information across the country.

    After the statistical work was over, Wei Zhaocheng was promoted to eight ranks in a row, becoming the minister of Taichang Temple!

    Still unsatisfied with this, the two deputy capital envoys were overthrown, and they went to Jiangxi to be the governor as they wished

    The magistrate himself acted as a tour guide, accompanied by a group of scholars, followed by a large number of servants of the scholars.

    In addition, after the officials cleared the way, the team stretched for two or three miles.

    Leading the governor to Yimin Lane, Feng Xun, the county magistrate, pointed to the pavilion and said, "Yao Haigong, this is the famous Baobenfang."

    Wei Zhaocheng hurriedly corrected his clothes, stepped forward to check the plaque on the pavilion, and said pleasantly: "It is written by Zhu Zi himself, I should worship it!"

    Wei Zhaocheng lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down in front of Zhu Xi's inscription, and the scholars behind him could only bow down.

    Kneeling down, Wei Zhaocheng got up and wanted to leave, but saw a stone tablet beside the pavilion, and a Chinese cabbage was engraved on the stone tablet.

    Wei Zhaocheng frowned and asked: "This is the pavilion named by Zhu Zi. Who dares to erect a monument here without authorization?"

    Feng Xun replied: "The former magistrate did it."

    &nbBao, everyone at the table gets two hangs, and Fei Yinghuan pays for winning or losing, and they can get rewards even if they don’t play cards.

    As for Governor Wei, Fei Yinghuan had long forgotten about it.

    And on the boat next door, Hu Mengtai, who was born in the Hu family of Yongping, didn't seem to want to serve Governor Wei anymore.

    Hu Mengtai was more interesting. He didn't want to waste any more time. He suddenly went out of the cabin and walked to the bow of the ship, and fell into the water with a "plop".

    "The young master fell into the river, the young master fell into the river!"

    The house boy yelled in panic.

    Fei Yinghuan was doing all the work, and when he heard the shout, he immediately ordered: "Row quickly to save people! Touch, Basuo!"

    The river was very lively, and several passenger boats nearby worked together to rescue Hu Mengtai.

    Fei Yinghuan forbade everyone to move their cards, walked out of the cabin, and asked across the boat, "Brother Hu, is he all right?"

    "My young master has passed out." Hu's family boy shouted.

    Fei Yinghuan said: "Hurry up and send him back to the county for medical treatment."

    The Hu family's boat turned around hastily. When the two boats crossed, the unconscious Hu Mengtai suddenly blinked and smiled secretly at Fei Yinghuan.

    Fei Yinghuan slapped his thigh fiercely, and sighed wryly: "Why didn't I think of such a clever plan? Brother Hu is really talented."

    Wei Jianxiong said: "How about we fall into the water too?"

    Fei Yinghuan scolded: "Idiot, you can't do it again, it's just a mere imitation!"

    Zhao Han was speechless, who is this?

    (Sacrifice a book: "Rebirth: The Rise of Xiangjiang", the new book of the iron boss. ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoals 023 [Selling Officials and Selling Nobles]

    The ship docked, and the autumn rain suddenly arrived.

    Feng Xun, the county magistrate, held up an umbrella and asked, "Yao Haigong, it's rainy and cold, do you want to wait until the rain stops before going ashore?"

    "Breezy and rainy, it's a good time!"

    Wei Zhaocheng pushed away the umbrella extended by his servant, leaned on a trekking pole, and chanted as he walked: "Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not scream and walk slowly. Bamboo sticks and straw shoes are lighter than horses. Who is afraid? A straw coir  Misty Rain Ren Pingsheng"

    Feng Xun gritted his teeth and simply put away the oil umbrella.  After thinking about it, he put on his big hat again, and hurriedly chased after him: "Mr. Yao Hai is unrestrained and open-minded, and he can be Mr. Dongpo's confidant!"

    Seeing this, the scholars behind put away their umbrellas and put on their hats one after another, and went to Xin Qiji's former residence in the drizzle of autumn.

    "Young master, don't we use umbrellas?" Wei Jianxiong asked.

    Fei Yinghuan said: "Come on, take your umbrella, it's not raining too much anyway."

    Zhao Han was quite excited, after all, it was the former residence of Xin Qiji, and he could appreciate the demeanor of the sages from afar.

    ? Hearing that the governor is coming to pay respects, the local chief has been waiting for a long time.

    There are many people surnamed Xin nearby, some are descendants of Xin Qiji, and some are descendants of Xin Qiji's domestic servants.

    The head of the village, surnamed Xin, led the governor all the way to Piaoquan, and introduced: "This place is the former residence of our ancestors."

    "The mountains and rivers are beautiful, it's really a good place to retreat to the countryside!" Wei Zhaocheng praised repeatedly.

    Xin Qiji had two villas in Jiangxi, one was Jiaxuan Manor, which was completely destroyed by fire.  So Piaoquan Manor was built again, and he died here with regrets.

    Zhao Han was squeezed into the surrounding crowd, young and short, jumping on his feet, and finally saw the famous Piaoquan clearly.

    If you regret it in an instant, it is better not to watch it.

    It's just a mountain spring flowing into a scoop-shaped stone pit. It's not surprising, it can even be said to be very ordinary.

    However, two-thirds of Xin Qiji's handed down ci works were created here, including the sentence: "I see how charming Qingshan is, and I expect Qingshan to see me as it should be."

    Zhao Han suddenly thought of Qinhuai Bayan, and wondered if that Liu Rushi had started listing for business.

    Wei Zhaocheng took a ladle and scooped water in the ladle spring. After tasting it, he was full of praise: "Chengchun is sweet and sweet, which is unique in the world. You can drink the spring and taste it."

    They are all local scholars, how can they not drink water from the ladle spring?

    Alas, just pretend you haven't had a drink.

    All the scholars came forward one after another, and you sipped each other, full of compliments, as if they were drinking fine nectar.

    Suddenly, the autumn wind blew up and the raindrops were like beans.

    Regardless of Ren Pingsheng's misty rain, Wei Zhaocheng covered his head with his hands, ordered his servants to quickly open their umbrellas, and trotted back to the boat to hide from the rain.

    Come with joy, return with disappointment.

    Xin Qiji's cemetery was halfway up the mountain, so he definitely couldn't go there to pay his respects, so everyone returned to the county seat by boat.

    Zhao Han stood at the door of the cabin, admiring the fleet under the rain, and then thinking of Governor Wei's face, he couldn't help feeling sick.

    Fei Yinghuan also came over to enjoy the rain scene, and said in a happy mood: "It's really just in time for the rain, otherwise we have to go climbing with him. If you have two or three close friends, it would be considered an elegant and joyful thing in your life to visit Mr. Jiaxuan's tomb in the rain.  Everyone here is a clinging person, and will only disturb the spirit of the master in heaven!"

    Zhao Han pointed to more than a dozen ships in the distance: "Are those government officials?"

    "No, most of them are temporary servants." Fei Yinghuan shook his head and said.

    Temporary servants are ordinary people who work for the government for free.

    ? In order to accompany the governor on a tour of mountains and rivers, the magistrate of Qianshan County conscripted many people to serve.  Not only are wages not paid, but the people have to bring their own dry food, and even those boats are recruited for free.

    In addition, the wine, food, melons and fruits prepared for mountain climbing are also collected from the relevant servants.  Even if you give up halfway, if you don't go to the mountain to visit the tomb, and don't return all the supplies, there is a high probability that they will be divided up by the officials!

    That is to say, Wei Zhao's trip on a whim may cause some slave households to sell their sons and daughters.

    What's even more frightening is that Wei Zhaocheng plans to pay homage to Ehu Academy!

    It belongs to the Holy Land of Neo Confucianism, and it has been abandoned for a long time.  Once the governor comes to worship in person, he must follow the official procedures and carry out simple cleaning and repairs.  The cost ranged from a few hundred taels to tens of thousands of taels, and the finances of Qianshan County were about to collapse.

    And what can Wei Zhaocheng get?

    Fame!

    Ehu Academy is the place where Zhu Xi, Lu Zuqian, Lu Jiuling, Lu Jiuyuan and others gathered to give lectures, thus laying the foundation stone for the prosperity of Confucianism and Mind for hundreds of years.

    Wei Zhaocheng will be famous all over the world if he worships and repairs it casually.

    Returning to the county seat and sending Governor Wei back to the hotel to rest, Feng Zhixian immediately summoned many scholars.Will.

    Facing a group of juren and scholars, Feng Xun's posture was as low as a gray grandson, and he almost said in a begging tone: "You are all talented people in this county. Lord Yaohai wants to repair the Ehu Academy.  The feat of the pulse. Please friends, go home and tell the elders, can each family donate some money. The county government is too poor, and it is a waste of money to give out a hundred taels of silver"

    Feng Xun did not lie, the Qianshan government really had no money.

    Hekou Town, one of the four famous towns in Jiangxi, the thoroughfare of eight provinces, and a trade center.  Ehu Town, the shortest commercial road from Kong'e Jiangxi to Zhejiang.  Yongping Town, the only commercial road from Jiangxi to Fujian!

    Just these three towns can make Qianshan County financially abundant.

    But you can't collect taxes!

    Moreover, in the huge Qianshan County, the registered population of the government is only about 10,000, which leads to the collection of various miscellaneous taxes.

    Feng Xun, the county magistrate, did an extremely aggrieved job.

    ? As soon as the magistrate called for donations, all the scholars collectively became Tai Chi masters.

    Ehu Academy is located in a remote place, unless the world's great Confucianism comes to teach in person, it will not be able to recruit students at all.  This dynasty has repaired it several times, but every time it was repaired, it was abandoned. It was a thankless task.

    Let the gentry and rich families pay money, buy fame for the governor's invitation, and help the magistrate to please the Shangguan, so get out of it!

    "Reporting to the county, the younger generation still has important matters at home, so I will take my leave first."

    "It's good to teach the county lord to know that the lowly mother is waiting for the birth, and the late birth has to go back to take care of it."

    "Xianzun, this junior is exposed to the rain and cold, and at this time he has a splitting headache. I want to ask the doctor to prescribe two decoctions."

    "County Honor"

    For a while, all the scholars dispersed, and Feng Zhixian was so anxious that he wanted to cry.

    Seeing that Fei Yinghuan was about to leave, Feng Xun didn't care about face, and hurried forward to grab him: "Brother Dazhao, can I have another cup of tea?"

    Fei Yinghuan laughed and said, "I've already had a lot of tea today, so I'm in a hurry."

    Feng Xun took Fei Yinghuan's hand and said, "I'll go to the toilet with Brother Dazhao."

    Fei Yinghuan didn't bother to pretend anymore, and said directly: "Fei has no money."

    Feng Xun stretched out a slap: "For five thousand taels of silver, Wei Futai can recommend the magistrate of a county, not a small county, but a magistrate of a large county. This is a business that is sure to make a profit. If you change it, you have to pay tens of thousands of taels."

    Fei Yinghuan smiled and said: "He is the governor, can he recommend the magistrate of a big county?"

    Feng Xun explained: "Wei Futai's benefactor is Zhan Rugong (Chen Yuting), the leader of the Donglin Party. Wei Futai himself is also deeply favored by His Majesty. How can it be a fluke to be promoted to eight ranks in one day?"

    The term "Da Lao" has existed since ancient times, and it often appears in daily communication and letter notes.

    "You don't need to say anything more about the county magistrate. If I want to be the county magistrate, I would have brought money to the Ministry of Officials to donate officials." Fei Yinghuan directly refused.

    Feng Xun said anxiously: "This magistrate is not that magistrate. There are few official vacancies in big counties, not to mention only five thousand taels of silver. This opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again!"

    "Farewell!" Fei Yinghuan walked away in a huff.

    "well……"

    Feng Xun sighed alone, and without regard for face, he wrote letters directly to the big family with Juren, helping Wei Zhao sell officials in black and white.

    But it's really hard to sell an official, unless you are too old, everyone wants to be a Jinshi.

    Even if you really plan to donate an official, they have their own connections, so why find a new governor?

    The only selling point is that there are only 5,000 taels left to buy the chief official of the county, which is similar to a merchant's discount promotion

    Wei Zhaocheng's calculations were subtle, he was thinking of selling his official position to make money, and he also wanted to repair the E Lake Academy to earn fame!

    Back to the boat.

    Zhao Han asked, "What's bothering you, Master?"

    "Hoo!"

    Fei Yinghuan slapped the bulkhead fiercely, and cursed loudly: "Selling an official and a noble, you don't want face, this Wei deserves to be killed!"

    Wei Jianxiong muttered, "My surname is Wei too."

    Fei Yinghuan said angrily: "Wei Zhaocheng has been a lecturer for many years and has never found a chance to make money. Now that he has been promoted to the eighth rank and released as the governor of Jiangxi, he is impatient to sell his officials everywhere. Listen  Said that he has been touring the prefectures and counties for the past few months, presumably he sold officials all the way to Lead Mountain. For the sake of money, he really doesn't even want face!"

    "Maybe it's because they are eager to make money." Zhao Han sarcastically said.

    Fei Yinghuan asked, "What counts as performance?"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Slip of the tongue, it's nothing."

    Wei Zhaocheng was eager to sell officials everywhere, not just for money.

    It is also possible to make friends with local wealthy families, accept the children of gentry as disciples, and send party members and minions to various places as officials.  Cliques are formed layer by layer, so that the Donglin Party grows stronger and gradually controls the right to speak from the central government to the local government.

    Fei Yinghuan is hypocritical here, his own father who is far away in Ehu Lake is very happy to receive the letter from Fengzhi County.

    With only 5,000 taels of silver, you can buy a magistrate of a large county. This deal is too good-for-nothing!

    ? On June 18, Double Eleven, I have never seen such a sincere merchant. The discount has been hit to a comminuted fracture. If you don’t place an order quickly, it seems that you have lost 100 million.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 024 【Exegesis】

    Zhao Han carried the bookcase, Qin Xin carried the guqin on his back, Jian Dan held the sword, and Jiu Po ??held the wine jar, surrounded by Fei Yinghuan and went to Hu's house to be a guest.

    This is the grandeur of Young Master Fei, and he doesn't forget to pretend to be aggressive when he visits friends!

    ? I heard that Governor Wei is sick, with a cold, fever and runny nose, and is currently being treated in the county.  Who let him live his whole life in a cloud of mist and rain?  Not even a big hat.

    The governor fell ill and the trip was cancelled.

    Fei Yinghuan had nothing to do, so he came to Yongping Town to see a friend, that is, Hu Juren who fell into the water halfway.

    Looking at the Hu family's mansion from a distance, the scale is not inferior to that of the Fei family in Goose Lake. Zhao Han asked curiously: "My lord, when it comes to the long history, which one is better, the Fei family or the Hu family?"

    Fei Yinghuan was quite proud, shaking his folding fan and said: "The Fei family of Qianshan originated from the Fei family of Jiangxia in the Han Dynasty. The Hu family of Yongping came from the Hu family of Tsinghua University. The ancestor was a Jinshi in the late Tang Dynasty.  .”

    "So that's the case, that's because Fei's background is profound." Zhao Han immediately flattered.

    ?In fact, Fei Yinghuan is putting gold on his own face, and the Fei family lineage of Qianshan can only be traced back to the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

    The Yongping Hu family and the Guanxi Hu family were all separated from the Tsinghua Hu family, clearly recording the changes of the lineage.

    This kind of real noble family has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. For the founding monarchs of all dynasties, it is the target of attack and wooing.

    Just looking at the main entrance of its ancestral hall, according to the Ming Dynasty etiquette system, it is enough to confiscate the house and exile-official houses and private houses are prohibited from using double eaves, and Hu's ancestral hall is directly triple eaves!

    Fei Yinghuan stood still, with his hands behind his back.

    Wei Jianxiong went to pass the name card and said to the door: "Ehu Fei Dazhao, take the liberty to visit Hu Juren."

    "All honored guests, please come in." The gatekeepers did not announce, and took him directly to the garden.

    Apparently, Fei Yinghuan is a frequent visitor here, and the handing over of greeting cards is purely a formality.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Not long after, Hu Mengtai came laughing.

    Wearing a silk Taoist robe and a big hat, this gentleman teased and joked: "I heard that Brother Dazhao got caught in the rain in Piaoquan, but you came to my house to beg for ginger soup?"

    "Why didn't you drown when you fell into the river?" Fei Yinghuan immediately fought back, not to be outdone.

    Hu Mengtai's wife, Li Shi, is following behind her husband at the moment.  Mrs. Li and two maids came over with wine and food in person, and said loudly, "Mr. Fei speaks bad words and hurts people, and he will punish you with three glasses of wine."

    Fei Yinghuan was no longer angry, and said teasingly, "If my sister pours wine with her own hands, then I'll drink it for my brother. I think my husband won't be jealous."

    "Brother is still so dishonest." Mrs. Li smiled heartily and placed the fine wine on the table.  She is slender, calm and generous, with a chic demeanor, unlike ordinary women in boudoirs.

    Fei Yinghuan and Li's family can be regarded as cousins ??in terms of relationship, and the major families in Qianshan County are all relatives.

    The three sat down, and the rest stood.

    Zhao Han waited by the side with the bookcase, completely serving as a human flesh backdrop, while Jiu Po ??went over to serve with the jar.

    Hu Mengtai suddenly pointed at Zhao Han: "Brother has another child? Three is not enough."

    Fei Yinghuan proudly said: "This son is intelligent, like a jade in the rough."

    "Then I'm going to test the teacher and test the teacher," Hu Mengtai said to Zhao Han, "Come forward."

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "I have met Mr. Hu."

    Hu Mengtai asked: "How old is this year, can read four books?"

    Zhao Han replied: "I am ten years old this year. I have read all four books and five classics, and only memorized a few chapters."

    What length can he recite?

    Learning and learning from time to time, isn't it also said?  A friend comes from afar Zhao Han can recite everything in the textbook.

    As a student majoring in Chinese Language and Literature, of course, I also have my own strengths.

    For example, Zhao Han knew the development of ancient Chinese literature very clearly, and his understanding of famous works by famous authors definitely surpassed most ancient scholars.

    Only one set of "Selected Chinese Literary Works of Past Dynasties" includes almost all famous works in ancient times.  And this thing is still a compulsory course, the teacher explains it word by word, and if you fail the final exam, you have to retake it.

    There is even a "Exegesis", which requires knowledge of phonology, characters, and grammar, but the undergraduate content is relatively shallow, so you can choose this direction for graduate students.

    "At such a young age, how dare you say that you have read the Five Classics? I only learned the classics," Hu Mengtai said with a smile, "Forget it, you can use a poem in the "Book of Songs" to describe Governor Wei you met yesterday.  "

    Zhao Han opened his mouth and came: "Small rat, don't eat me! Three-year-old girl, no one would care for her. A daughter who is about to die, suitable for the paradise"

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    &nbs?Don't help Fei Yinghuan pretend every day.

    It was the end of the month, and there was no way to enjoy the full moon. Fei Yinghuan was so drunk that he was escorted back to the guest room by the servants of the Hu family to rest.

    Zhao Han and the others rushed to catch him, helped him undress and take off his shoes, and then threw him on the bed.

    Fei Yinghuan opened his drunken eyes, and said in a daze, "Old Wei, go to Hanzhu Academy tomorrow. You send someone home to report the news, and say that I will live there for two months and accompany Youli (Hu Mengtai) to study in closed doors in order to prepare for it."  Chongzhen's four-year test."

    Wei Jianxiong muttered: "It's just looking for something to do when there is nothing to do, and studying is not the same at home? You have to go to the mountains together."

    "What did you say?" Fei Yinghuan was so drunk that he couldn't hear clearly.

    Wei Jianxiong said: "I agree."

    Fei Yinghuan added: "Several children went into the mountain together, and they should pay close attention to their homework. Don't just play cards and have fun all day long."

    "Hey, okay, I've written it down, so you can go to bed quickly." Wei Jianxiong urged perfunctorily.

    Due to the continuous reproduction and expansion of Qianshan Fei family, three academies were built over the past few hundred years.

    Hanzhu Academy is located in Hanzhu Mountain, five miles south of Henglin's ancestral home.

    Donggang Academy is located in Donggangping, fifty miles west of the county seat.

    Jingxing Academy is directly outside Yongping Town on the outskirts of the county.

    Fei Yaonian, the last famous official of the Fei family, made his last words before he died, to sell all the property under his name to build the fourth academy.

    As a result, as soon as he kicked his legs, his descendants were busy grabbing the family property, completely forgetting about building the academy.

    On the second day, Hu Mengtai took a boy and went to Hanzhu Mountain with Fei Yinghuan.

    The silly son of the Fei family also boarded and studied there, and finally Zhao Han was officially going to be a school boy.

    (One more book to be sacrificed: "Xuanmen is not authentic", Xiaobing's wild way to cultivate immortals. ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 025 [Little Master]

    Hanzhu Academy is the cornerstone of Fei's culture in Qianshan.

    After starting his business, Fei established the "Han Zhu Private School" and continued to buy books from Fujian and Zhejiang through caravans.  One hundred years ago, "Hanzhu Private School" was expanded into "Hanzhu Academy", and more than 40 officials have come out of it.

    The academy is owned by the Henglin Fei family. Each branch raises funds to operate it every year, and at the same time allows children with other surnames to study.

    If a good seedling is found, no matter what his surname is, Fei will invest in it and cultivate it.

    Despite the fact that two generations of the Fei family have not produced Jinshi, but in recent years, the students with other surnames sponsored by them have produced one Jinshi and four Juren!

    on board.

    Qin Xin, Jian Dan, Jiu Po, and Hu Mengtai's family boy, Le Rong, are playing mahjong.

    Wei Jianxiong hugged the wrought iron rod, leaned against the cabin and fell asleep.

    Zhao Han is studying hard. The "Spring and Autumn Annals" brought by Hu Mengtai is a bit difficult to read.

    At least Zhao Han can't read it as a storybook. Even if there are annotations in the book, the names of people and places still give him a headache.

    Inside cabin.

    Hu Mengtai sighed and said: "My father is so moved that he really wants to donate five thousand taels of silver to get me a magistrate!"

    "He Wei Zhaocheng, a mere governor, has the ability to sell his officials?" Fei Yinghuan shook his head and sneered, "Anyway, I don't believe it."

    Hu Mengtai said: "My father guessed that the revival of the Dongdong Forest Party may be in urgent need of a lot of money. This Wei Zhaocheng is just a tough soldier, and I am afraid that most of the income from selling officials will be paid as tribute."

    Fei Yinghuan asked: "Do they really have so many official vacancies in big counties?"

    Hu Mengtai said: "The Donglin Party is now in control of Nanbeijingcha, and there must be a lot of official vacancies. Brother Dazhao's family is also in business, and many times there is no need to clear the property. Wei Zhaocheng sells 20 magistrates in Jiangxi  If there is a lack of money, one hundred thousand taels of snowflake silver can be received based on five thousand taels. He can only cash in two or three, and the rest of the excuses are waiting for the vacancies to be replaced.  Starting price, whoever gives more money will be given first to whoever is really short."

    Fei Yinghuan suddenly realized, and said in surprise: "Can it still work like this? Then he can earn thirty or fifty scholars' official silver with only three or five shortfalls! This kind of thing is not seen well, and he can pay for it."  Those who buy an official have to save face, even if they find out that they have been cheated, they don’t dare to say anything.”

    Hu Mengtai smiled and said: "Whoever pays first to buy an official will be more likely to get the real shortage, which can be regarded as the 'horse bone' given by Wei Zhaocheng."

    Fei Yinghuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This kind of business genius, what kind of official is he? Resigning from office early to do business is a great thing for the country and himself!"

    Hu Mengtai said again: "Brother Dazhao, if he wants to donate an official, he has to act quickly. Today's Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Wang Yongguang."

    "Wang Yongguang still dares to move left and right?" Fei Yinghuan shook his head repeatedly.

    Hu Mengtai said: "If Your Majesty shows any dissatisfaction with the Donglin Party, with Wang Yongguang's temperament, he will definitely fight back."

    After careful consideration, Fei Yinghuan had to admit: "It is true."

    The two juren who have not stepped into the officialdom can see Wang Yongguang so thoroughly, one is because they have sources of information, and the other is because Wang Yongguang is so famous.

    ? In the first year of Taichang, this person spoke up for justice and offended many dignitaries, and his position was biased towards the Donglin Party.

    In the third year of Tianqi, this person was involved in the Guihai Jingcha, fell out with the Donglin Party, and was forced to resign and return to his hometown.

    In the fifth year of the apocalypse, this person was appointed by Wei Zhongxian to try his best to cling to the eunuch party.

    In the sixth year of the apocalypse, this person suddenly attacked Wei Zhongxian by taking advantage of the bombing of Wang Gong's factory, and asked for the return of the ticket imitation rights, and helped several Donglin party leaders to speak well.  Dismissed from office.

    In the first year of Chongzhen, this year, this person was appointed by the Donglin Party, and he became the Minister of the Ministry of Officials at once.

    Repeatedly jumping sideways, its left and right maneuvers are dazzling, and no one knows which side this guy is from.

    You can say that he is following the crowd, but he is not afraid of the powerful.

    When the Donglin Party was in decline, he helped the Donglin Party speak.  When the Donglin Party was the strongest, they fell out with the Donglin Party.  When Wei Zhongxian was just rising, he had no shame in clinging to the eunuchs.  When Wei Zhongxian was so powerful, he stood up to support the Donglin Party and clamored for Wei Zhongxian to hand over the power of the cabinet.

    ? According to this law, the Donglin Party is now in the limelight, and it is time for Wang Yongguang to jump back.

    Historically, the Donglin Party cabinet in the Chongzhen Dynasty was brought down by Wang Yongguang and Zhou and Wen This is a shit stick that runs through the party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty. As long as you don’t feel disgusting, then the disgusting ones are others!

    Although Fei Yinghuan and Hu Mengtai live in Jiangxi, they read Tangbao every month to understand the situation between North Korea and China.

    &nbsp; Every time they read the big news about Wang Yongguang, they were completely confused, and they couldn't understand what Wang Yongguang wanted to do.

    Hu Mengtai said: "I went to Hanzhu Mountain to study in retreat this time to prevent my father from buying an official. I have made an oath in the Hu's ancestral hall. If I can't be a Jinshi in three years, I will go back to Hanzhu Mountain and continue to retreat!"

    "Youli is very ambitious, Brother Yu will accompany you to study hard for two months!" Fei Yinghuan made up his mind.

    Hu Mengtai laughed and said: "For Brother Dazhao, two months is not easy."

    The ship docked.

    Zhao Han put down the "Spring and Autumn" and handed it back to Hu Mengtai's family boy. Without a teacher explaining this stuff, there is no way for him to learn by himself.

    No wonder Guan Erye has been reading "Spring and Autumn" all his life. This book can be read for several lifetimes.

    Carrying the bookcase in his hand, Zhao Han followed the crowd and took a slow walk to Mount Hanzhu.

    The private school is at the foot of the mountain, and its students have not been admitted to the scholar.

    The academy is halfway up the mountain, and only those who have merit can go up the mountain to study.

    The scale of Hanzhu Private School is small, only a few classrooms, and each classroom can accommodate twenty or thirty students.  There is also a library and a student dormitory. Students who are far away from home can choose to board.

    Zhao Han came to the private school and saw the students in the classroom, a few of them were dressed in shabby clothes, even in late autumn they were barefoot.  He couldn't help asking: "Uncle Wei, can poor children study for free?"

    Wei Jianxiong nodded and said: "As long as you have the ambition to learn, you can come to Hanzhu Mountain to study. There is no tuition fee, but you need to bring your own books, pens and ink. If there is a child prodigy who has an unforgettable memory, Fei will definitely support him to obtain fame."

    In the land of the south of the Yangtze River, the style of writing is very prosperous, and the literacy rate is very high.

    Even the servants of the Fei family, half of them can read popular novels if they are randomly selected.

    According to the diaries of Korean literati, as early as the mid-Ming Dynasty, people could communicate in Jiangnan by writing.  Not so in the north. Korean literati said that if you look for a few more passers-by in the south of the Yangtze River, you will always find someone who can read, but in the north you may not see them all day.

    The same is true for Qianshan Mountain. Since Hanzhu Academy is exempt from tuition fees, the common people are willing to send their children to study.  Even if you don't pass the examination as a scholar, you can still be a house slave or a buddy for Fei, and you can often get preferential treatment if you can read and write.

    Fei Yinghuan rested in the pavilion for a while, and then his silly son was brought.

    Fei Ruhe is a chubby boy, not puffy, but stout.  This guy trotted over, kowtowed and shouted: "I have seen my father, I have seen my uncle (Hu Mengtai)!"

    In front of his son, Fei Yinghuan was very serious, and asked with a serious expression: "Where did you read your homework?"

    Fei Ruhe replied: "I have learned "Ji Shi Chapter."

    Fei Yinghuan was suddenly furious: "It's been several years since you started enlightenment, yet you are still studying "The Analects of Confucius"?"

    The Four Books have a learning sequence, which is: "Great Learning", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", and "The Doctrine of the Mean".

    After several years of studying and still learning "The Analects of Confucius", the IQ is really touching

    Fei Ruhe knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak. He glanced at Hu Mengtai with sneaky eyes, hoping that his uncle could help him with a few words of kindness.

    Hu Mengtai laughed without speaking, even holding back his laughter.

    Fei Yinghuan had a splitting headache, and didn't want to waste any more words, so he just said, "I found a book boy for you to study with you. He hasn't finished reading the fourth primary school book. If one day he overtakes you, I will definitely beat you."  break your leg!"

    Fei Ruhe muttered, "I already have a book boy."

    Fei Yinghuan scolded: "Your academic progress is slow, and the book boy is also to blame. I'll give you a better one!"

    Fei Ruhe pleaded: "Father, Fei Chun is fine, so there is no need to change it. If you change to a school boy, the child will inevitably not get used to it, and I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to study in the future."

    It really makes some fucking sense.

    Fei Yinghuan thought for a while and said: "Then no change, just one more book boy. Zhao Han, come over and get to know the young master!"

    Zhao Han stepped forward and cupped his hands: "I have seen the young master."

    Fei Ruhe looked up at Zhao Han, suddenly unhappy: "You are my school boy, why am I kneeling and you are still standing there? Hurry up and kneel with me!"

    Zhao Han replied: "I was sent by the son to urge the young master to study, not to kneel with the young master."

    Fei Ruhe immediately complained: "Father, this book boy is disobedient, drive him away quickly!"

    Fei Yinghuan was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "That's how it should be. Zhao Han, from now on, the young master is playful, so you can teach him a lesson for me. As long as you don't beat him to death or damage his appearance, you can do whatever you want!"

    "Obey!" Zhao Han cupped his hands.

    Fei Ruhe was dumbfounded, feeling that his life would be difficult in the future.?I will have a hard time in the future?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 026 [I listen to the young master]

    Fei Yinghuan left soon, went up the mountain with Hu Mengtai, and went to the academy halfway up the mountain to practice.

    Only Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe, and the bookboy Fei Chun were left.

    Fei Ruhe is eleven years old this year, probably due to overnutrition, he is tall, strong and fat.  It's a pity not to practice martial arts with this kind of figure, it is very suitable to be a general, and the famous generals in ancient times were all big-bodied and round-chested.

    On the contrary, Fei Chun, a book boy, is quite handsome, and has inherited the excellent genes of his parents - his father used to be the young master's book boy, his mother used to be the old lady's maid, and he has been strictly selected for his appearance.

    Master and servant stood together, Fei Chun was more like a young master, Fei Ruhe was like a follower.

    Seeing that Fei Yinghuan had gone far away, Fei Ruhe suddenly sneered, folded his arms across his chest, half-closed his eyes and despised Zhao Han.

    This little young master is obviously not an idiot, and his mind is useless on reading.

    He is submissive in front of his father, and he is probably a bully among the children. He is the only one who bullies others, and no one else has the right to bully him.

    The school was still in session, and Fei Ruhe was called out midway.

    Zhao Han reminded with a smile: "Young master, it's time to go back to the bookstore to study."

    Fei Ruhe still sneered and remained silent. After waiting for a long time without any movement, he suddenly turned his head and pouted at the book boy.

    The school boy Fei Chun finally came to his senses, and snapped sharply: "Bold, don't kowtow to the young master! Don't think that the young master is protecting you. In this private school with pearls, the young master is your master! Also, I  You are the big book boy, you are the little book boy, you must listen to me from now on!"

    Zhao Han showed a frightened expression and asked, "Young master, is this really the case?"

    "The young master is the young master, and the book boy is the book boy," Fei Ruhe raised his fist and threatened, "From now on, you must obey me obediently. If Daddy asks, you can say that I study hard, but it's too bad  You are stupid and slow to learn. Dad asked you to supervise your studies and said you can beat me, but you must not take it seriously. If you don’t believe me, you can try hitting me"

    As soon as the words fell, Zhao Han kicked out.

    Fei Ruhe's tonnage was too large, and Zhao Han didn't dare to be cruel, so he was not kicked down on the spot.  He took two steps back and stood still, looked down at the footprints on his chest, and said in disbelief, "You really dare to fight?"

    Zhao Han asked with a puzzled expression, "Young master, didn't you just let me listen to you?"

    Fei Ruhe said angrily: "I didn't really let you hit me!"

    Zhao Han said: "But I take it seriously."

    Fei Ruhe was furious: "Are you mentally ill?"

    Zhao Han suddenly tilted his head, looking like a mentally handicapped child: "I was ordered by the young master to beat the young master, what's wrong?"

    It seemed that there was nothing wrong, but Fei Ruhe was about to get hurt internally.

    The book boy Fei Chun quickly reminded: "Young master, this bastard is playing with you!"

    "Of course this young master knows, so I need you to tell me?" Fei Ruhe was furious, his face was already red and his neck was thick, he raised his fist and walked towards Zhao Han, "You want to fight!"

    This guy must have practiced before, his footwork is extremely stable, and his punches are well-organized. As soon as he comes up, he directly takes Zhao Han's face.

    ? Zhao Han raised his arm to block, his bones hurt from the beating, the chubby man's strength is so great!

    Another punch came, Zhao Han dodged sideways, and punched his weak spot at the same time.

    Fei Ruhe didn't dodge or dodge, he withdrew his arm to wrap around Zhao Han's wrist, and quickly grabbed Zhao Han's wrist with his other hand, trying to directly hug and wrestle Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han quickly stepped back and broke free, then turned around and ran away.

    It's not a heavyweight, only a fool will fight close to hand, let's fly the kite and walk the dog first.

    "Don't run!"

    Fei Ruhe chased after him angrily, running around the pavilion with Zhao Han one after the other.

    Fei Chun didn't have any good intentions. He stood watching the show without saying anything, and continued to add fuel to the fire: "Master, this bastard is entertaining you, just punch him to death!"

    After circling the pavilion twice, Zhao Han turned and ran towards Fei Chun, kicking Fei Chun in the air.

    "Don't come here Alas!" Fei Chun was watching the fire from the other side, when he was suddenly kicked by the charge, and fell to the ground on his back, with his feet on the ground, feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath, unable to get up.

    Fei Ruhe chased after him and shouted: "We are fighting each other, why are you beating him?"

    "It's very noisy, noisy!" Zhao Han said while running.

    Fei Ruhe shouted again: "Don't run away if you have the guts, fight me once!"

    "Catch up with me first!" Zhao Han still planned to continue walking the dog.

    The two chased after each other, and ran around the pavilion again, Fei Ruhe's physical strength was actually quite abundant.

    "Are you coming?" Fei Chun managed to get up, but saw Zhao HanHe rushed to this side again, and suddenly turned and fled in fright.

    "Call me, don't chase him."

    "That's right, don't chase me!"

    "I'll chase after you, don't run away if you have the guts."

    "Bastard, you have the guts not to run away!"

    "Go and fight yourself, don't chase me!"

    ""

    Fei Ruhe chased after Zhao Han, Zhao Han chased Fei Chun, the three circled around the pavilion, and in the end they didn't know who was chasing whom.

    Suddenly, Zhao Han grabbed the railing and took advantage of the situation to climb into the pavilion.

    Fei Ruhe hurriedly slowed down and stopped, also wanting to climb over the railing to get in, but halfway through the climb, he felt pitch black in front of him.

    It was Zhao Han who stood on the bench in the pavilion, condescendingly kicked out, leaving footprints on the young master's face.

    Get in power and don't forgive anyone!

    Zhao Han quickly followed up with two kicks, kicking Fei Ruhe dizzily.

    He figured it out, this young master has rough skin and thick flesh, so he is not so easy to be broken.

    Fei Ruhe backed away covering his face with his arms, wanting to distance himself before speaking.

    Zhao Han climbed over the railing to give chase, and kicked at his defenseless lower abdomen. The pain was so painful that Fei Ruhe quickly covered his stomach, revealing his fat face again.

    "Hoo!"

    With a punch, the nose bleeds profusely.

    Fei Chun stopped in front of him, gasping for breath, and exclaimed, "You you huh, you are so daring huh you beat the young master to bleed!" Suddenly, the guy turned around and ran again,  He said in horror, "You hit the young master as soon as you hit the young master, why are you chasing me again? Alas!"

    Zhao Han left Fei Ruhe alone, chased the book boy and beat him violently all the way, until the boy couldn't run away, he squatted down with his hands on his head and carried it hard.

    Fei Ruhe finally regained his strength, covered his nose and yelled, "Bastard, I'm going to kill you!"

    "Come on, if you can catch up, you can fight." Zhao Han challenged.

    Ever since, he chased around the pavilion again, and after running two laps, Zhao Han turned into the pavilion again.

    Fei Ruhe's movements were not that flexible, and he was afraid of repeating the same mistakes, so he dared to stand outside the pavilion and shout: "Come out!"

    "Haha, come in!" Zhao Han smiled happily.

    Fei Ruhe stomped his feet angrily, and ran half a circle into the pavilion. Zhao Han immediately climbed over the railing to go out of the pavilion.

    Fei Ruhe was about to be blown out of anger, and roared, "Come in!"

    Zhao Han laughed and said, "Come out!"

    Fei Ruhe said: "This young master won't go out!"

    Zhao Han ignored him, turned around and chased after Fei Chun.

    "woo woo woo woo……"

    After Fei Chun was caught up, he burst into tears, full of grievances: "You fight with the young master, why do you always come to beat me? Oh, don't fight, the hero has mercy!"

    Fei Ruhe stood in the pavilion and questioned: "That's right, why did you beat him?"

    Zhao Hanli said bluntly: "You are not easy to fight, but he is easier to fight. Of course, you have to pick soft persimmons. Can't you understand this reason?"

    What he said made sense, but Fei Ruhe was speechless.

    Fei Chun lay on the ground with his head in his arms, and shouted, "Master, help me, I'm about to be beaten to death by this guy!"

    Fei Ruhe thought clearly: "If I go to rescue you, he will definitely run away again and come back around the pavilion to beat you. Anyway, you will be beaten too, why don't you let me save some energy."

    "Young master is wise, that's why!" Zhao Han exclaimed.

    Fei Chun was beaten until he wept bitterly, sobbing: "Let's not beat anyone, okay?"

    "No way!" Fei Ruhe immediately rejected the proposal.

    "The young master said no, I will listen to the young master." Zhao Han continued to punch and kick.

    Fei Chun cried out: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Lever L L L L , young master, he listens to you.

    Fei Ruhe was suffering from a headache at the moment, and was made to lose his temper. He stomped his feet in depression and said, "No more beatings, no more beatings, stop quickly!"

    "I listen to the young master," Zhao Han quickly helped Fei Chun up, and said with great concern, "Brother Fei Chun, where are you hurt? How about I rub it for you."

    Fei Chun's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, he put on an ugly smile and said, "Thank you brother for your concern, I don't feel any pain."

    Zhao Han said cheerfully: "Master, Fei Chun said that he doesn't hurt anything, it seems that I am still very measured. After all, my brother, I can't hurt my friendship, and I will fight like this next time."

    "No more fights, no more fights, there will be no next time," Fei Chun said hastily, "If you don't fight, you won't know each other. We will be good brothers from now on."

    Listening to his two schoolboys talking to each other there, Fei Ruhe was already so angry that he laughed.  He pointed to Zhao Han and said, "You are interesting, you are quite to my liking, so I will accept you as a book boy."

    Zhao Han instantly turned into a sycophant: "The young master has infinite strength and superb martial arts, and I admire it too!"

    Fei Ruhe was very grateful for this, he laughed and said: "Let's go, let's go to the bamboo forest to play. I think you have some skills, from now on, practice martial arts with me every day!"

    Zhao Han pointed to the classroom: "Young master, classes are still being taught in the library."

    "What class are you teaching?" Fei Ruhe said impatiently, "I finally came out, and I still throw myself into a trap?"

    Zhao Han said: "Then I will write it down, the young master skipped class today."

    Fei Ruhe was furious: "You want to be beaten!"

    Zhao Han pursed his lips and smiled.

    Fei Chun was so frightened that he shivered and cried, "YoungMaster, let's go to school, it's not too late to practice martial arts tomorrow."A book boy.  "

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 027【Bloodyness and Backbone】

    After all, Fei Ruhe returned to the classroom, because it was almost time for get out of class to end.

    In the late Ming Dynasty, the common people at the bottom had difficulty eating two meals a day.

    However, in affluent areas, basically three meals are eaten.  Even if there is not enough food, if you boil stones in white water, you have to emit cooking smoke, so as not to be looked down upon by the villagers and neighbors.

    The schedule of Hanzhu Private School is roughly as follows——

    ?Morning reading: The teacher leads the reading, collectively reads, and draws people to read.

    breakfast time.

    Practice calligraphy: practice one hundred characters in Cun Kai.

    The meaning of the scriptures: explain the Four Books and Five Classics.

    lunch time.

    Recitation: Review textbooks and recite chapters and sentences.

    Rhetoric: talk about poetry, talk about couplets, talk about ancient prose.

    dinner time.

    Evening self-study: Review what you have learned today, and occasionally explain the essays

    "gentlemen!"

    "come in."

    Fei Ruhe's nosebleed had stopped, and with the teacher's permission, he swaggered into the classroom.

    Fei Chun had a bruised nose and a swollen face, and covered his face with his sleeves as he followed closely, for fear that others would see his distressed appearance.

    Instead, Zhao Han was not injured at all, walked into the classroom and sat down next to Fei Chun.

    The lecturer is Pang Chunlai, an old scholar who seems to be short-sighted, and is giving a lecture at this time.

    He didn't care what the students were doing. He put the textbook two inches in front of his eyes, sat on the podium and shook his head: "Confucius said: A gentleman has three precepts. When he is young, his blood is not fixed, and the precepts are in his color. When he is strong, he has a vigorous blood.  It's fighting. Even when you're old, your blood energy is weakening, and you're gaining abstinence."

    "What is blood and qi? The shape serves life, blood is yin and qi is yang. That is to say, if a person wants to survive, he must have blood and qi, and he must reconcile yin and yang"

    Suddenly, a student raised his hand: "Sir, what is rebooting?"

    "Hahahaha!" All the children laughed.

    Fei Ruhe also booed: "I know, abstaining from sex means abstaining from women!"

    "Ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

    The students laughed louder, and the classroom was filled with a happy air.

    Zhao Han asked Fei Chun in a low voice: "Then who is making trouble?"

    "Fei Yuanjian, from Henglin," Fei Chun said in a low voice, "In terms of seniority, he is our young master's uncle, and he is a brother of our old master."

    Well, this seniority is high enough, Fei Yinghuan's uncle generation.

    When the lecture was interrupted, Pang Chunlai was not angry. He stroked his beard and said, "You are all boys and youths, your blood is not yet determined, so you must not be contaminated by women. You should refrain from it!"

    Fei Yuanjian was estimated to be twelve or thirteen years old, and he was also a senior repeater. He continued to make trouble: "If a young man is not close to women, then he can't have children? There are three unfilial acts, and the greatest thing is to have no offspring. Sir, you must be wrong!  "

    "Yes, I made a mistake!" Fei Ruhe followed suit.

    There are more than twenty students in this class, Fei Yuanjian and Fei Ruhe, the "grandfather and grandson", should belong to the class bully type.

    They made trouble for the teacher, and their younger brothers followed suit.

    For a moment, the classroom was as noisy as a vegetable market.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Pang Chunlai finally couldn't bear it anymore, knocked on the table with a ruler, blew his beard and stared at him and said: "Silence, silence! You should not be addicted to women's sex when you are rebooting here. Food and sex are also important. Eat enough, marry a wife and have children.  Human nature, how can we really get rid of it? However, gluttonous gluttony, licentiousness and pleasure are human desires. The abstinence from sex here is not to abstain from human nature, but to abstain from human desires!"

    Fei Yuanjian continued to sing the opposite tune: "Sir, you talk nonsense, but Zhu Zi's annotations didn't say that."

    "That's right, what Zhu Zi didn't say, Mr. is talking nonsense!" Fei Ruhe followed suit.

    One singing and one harmony, so lively.

    Zhao Han observed the situation carefully and found that the whole class was booing, except for one student in the front row who was buried in his book all the time.  Moreover, the student's clothes are thin, and he can be seen from a poor family.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Pang Chunlai frantically knocked on the ruler, but the classroom was already noisy.  He really had no choice but to shout: "Self-study, don't walk around, and wait for the end of get out of class!"

    "Wow oh oh oh oh oh oh oh!"

    The students cheered collectively, as if celebrating a victory, and then fought with each other.

    Pang Chunlai didn't bother to care about these bastards anymore, so he put on a kind expression and said to the poor student in the front row: "Xu Ying, come forward."

    The student who called Xu Ying went over immediately, and said respectfully, "What instruction do you have, sir?"

    PangLai said with concern, "Do you understand what I said today?"

    "Understood." Xu Ying nodded.

    Pang Chunlai reminded: "Confucius's abstinence from sex and fighting are not ordinary abstinence from women's sex and fighting, but to restrain the desire in the heart. What is moved by the blood is what the desire refers to. A saint is the same as a human being, blood;  A saint is different from others in his ambition. You should yearn for a saint, cultivate your ambition and restrain your blood, so that you can achieve great things."

    Xu Ying thought carefully, and asked, "Mr. Ke once said that a man must be bloodless."

    Pang Chunlai explained: "Blood energy here is a person's desire. To restrain blood energy is to restrain desire. And a man must not be without blood energy. It is because of blood nature and bone strength. Fighting against others is a battle of will and spirit, not blood nature.  dispute." Pang Chunlai pointed at the hall, "Such stubborn people have too much blood and no blood. You should study hard, don't fight with them, and don't let down your talents. But don't lose your blood  Sex, you can’t be without arrogance.”

    Xu Ying hurriedly bowed: "Thank you for your teaching, sir."

    There was a lot of fighting in the classroom, and the teacher didn't care about it, and only gave a small lesson to the poor scholar.

    "Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

    Not long after, the bell rang.

    The students cheered collectively and swarmed out of the classroom.

    ?Students who are closer to home, go home to eat directly, while boarding students all go to the cafeteria.

    There are also day students who are not far or near, take out their own food boxes, and eat in the classroom.

    Fei Ruhe seemed to be released after serving his sentence, he couldn't wait to run out, and suddenly turned around and pointed at Zhao Han: "Thatthat who"

    "Zhao Han." Zhao Han laughed.

    "Yes, Zhao Han, let's go eat together." Fei Ruhe said.

    While they were leaving the classroom, the poor student Xu Ying also ran hurriedly clutching a small bag.

    It's a pity that he couldn't run fast enough, and he was blocked by people as soon as he got up, and four or five people surrounded him to prevent the teacher who was packing up his things from seeing him.

    The leader was Fei Yuanjian.

    Xu Ying didn't want to fight with him, she lowered her head and turned around to leave, but was immediately pushed back.

    Fei Ruhe suddenly grabbed Zhao Han, and said with a smile: "Don't be busy eating, let's watch a good show first."

    Pang Chunlai finally left the classroom tremblingly with his textbook and ruler under his arm and a cane in his hand.

    Seeing that the teacher had left, Fei Yuanjian said in a mocking tone: "Master Xu, what did you eat today?"

    Xu Ying guarded the small bag for lunch, lowered her head and replied: "Wheat cakes."

    "You haven't paid the rent owed by your family, and you can afford wheat cakes?" Fei Yuanjian smiled more vigorously, and at the same time stretched out his hand to grab it, "Open it quickly and let me see."

    Xu Ying shook her head again and again, squatted down with her bundle in her arms, and waited to be beaten up by the group.

    Facing Xu Ying who was lying on the ground waiting to be beaten, Fei Yuanjian suddenly lost interest, turned around and left and said, "It's really boring!"

    The other students punched and kicked each other a few times, but they all left one after another.

    After being beaten, Xu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and ran out quickly with her things in her arms.

    Zhao Han witnessed the whole process, and he didn't help, but asked: "Young master, don't you see injustice, come to help me?"

    "What the hell," Fei Ruhe said angrily, "That idiot is on the same level as my grandfather, can I still beat him up?" Then he said, "Well, I really don't like him. Wait until he makes a fuss someday.  If it gets too big, such as beating people half to death, it is justifiable for me to take another shot."

    Fei Chun immediately flattered him: "The young master is brave and resourceful, and also has a chivalrous heart. He will definitely become a hero in the future."

    "Hahaha," Fei Ruhe felt relieved, "Well said, this young master will definitely be a hero from now on!"

    Zhao Han was speechless for a moment, a direct descendant of a wealthy family, it's fine if he doesn't want to take the imperial examination, at least he must have the ambition to be a general.  What the hell is fantasy being a knight?

    "Water Margin" read too much!

    The three of them went to the cafeteria together, and after walking dozens of steps, Xu Ying could be vaguely seen squatting under the railing of the gazebo.

    Zhao Han said: "Master, I'll go and have a look."

    "What's so interesting? He must be crying. Every time that guy is bullied, he doesn't know how to fight back. He just hides and cries alone." Fei Ruhe curled his lips and said.

    Fei Chun explained: "The young master also helped, but that kid didn't know what to do, so he refused to accept it."

    Zhao Han walked over lightly, and he heard a burst of sobbing.

    Xu Ying squatted outside the railing of the gazebo, wiping her tears while eating wheat bran cakes.  His family belongs to semi-owner farmers, and the whole family has a few acres of land, so they must not have enough to eat.  They have to farm the land separately and occasionally do some part-time labor in order to survive.

    If such a family of half-owner farmers and half-tenant farmers encounters a famine one day, the only land they have will inevitably be annexed.

    Surprised that there was someone behind her, Xu Ying didn't dare to turn her head, nor did she dare to stand up.  He frantically stuffed the remaining half of the pie into his mouth, then held his head and prepared to be beaten.

    Feeling pity, Zhao Han took out a few copper coins and said, "You are growing up at this age, you can't just eat bran cakes, and use them to buy some food."

    Seeing the copper coins handed over, Xu Ying finally raised her head slowly.  He didn't know who Zhao Han was, so he stood up and bowed, "I appreciate your kindness, but one pancake is enough to fill you up."

    Sure enough, he was very stubborn, Zhao Han folded his hands and left, quickly chasing after Fei Ruhe.

    "How?" Fei Ruhe asked with a smile.

    Zhao Han said: "He has backbone."??This is the only way to survive.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoals 028 [The special skill of the traveler: storytelling]

    Wei Jianxiong has already helped to complete all the procedures for admission to Hanzhu Academy. After receiving the wooden card (student ID card), he can eat in the cafeteria.

    Generally speaking, ancient private schools did not have canteens, because they were very close to home.  Only the academies will provide board and lodging, because the academies are more advanced, and the famous ones can even attract students from other provinces.

    Hanzhu Mountain is very interesting. It was only a private school at first, and gradually expanded into an academy.

    Take Ehu Fei as an example. It’s a long way from Ehu town by boat, and you have to walk several miles after disembarking. How can we do it without building a canteen?

    When Zhao Han came to the cafeteria, he found that he didn't need to order the dishes himself, but the servants had already brought the dishes to the table.

    Five or six children sat around a table, with meat, vegetables and soup.

    Excluding day students and those who bring their own meals, there are not many students in the cafeteria, including their school boys, there are only twenty or thirty students in total.

    The private school teachers also sit at the same table.

    Zhao Han took a bowl to make rice, but Fei Ruhe sat still, and Fei Chun brought it for him.

    After sitting down, Zhao Han was about to start eating, he picked up the chopsticks and put them down again, because no one moved the chopsticks.

    The teacher's table.

    A young teaching assistant shouted loudly: "Students recite poems!"

    Immediately, the sound of reciprocating poems resounded in the cafeteria: "At noon on the day of hoeing, the sweat drops to the soil. Who knows that every grain of the food on the plate is hard work."

    Everyone was reciting poems, including Fei Ruhe, who changed his stubbornness in the classroom.

    After reciting the poem, the young teaching assistant respectfully said: "Gentlemen, please move your chopsticks!"

    The older teacher picked up the chopsticks, which was a signal, and all the students picked up the chopsticks too, and Fei Ruhe just put his head down and wolfed it down.

    Seeing this, Zhao Han couldn't help but smile, the cafeteria was actually more disciplined than the classroom.

    Zhao Han just took a few mouthfuls, Fei Ruhe had already finished a bowl, Fei Chunfei hurried to help the young master refill.

    "Hic!"

    After eating four bowls in a row, Fei Ruhe clutched his belly and hiccupped: "I'm full, comfortable."

    Another cook, this guy has a really big appetite.

    Zhao Han also ate two bowls, went back to the dormitory with Fei Ruhe, and took the sign to get the quilt by the way.

    Fei Chun dragged out several weapons from under the bed.

    Fei Ruhe said, "Choose one yourself."

    There are spears, knives, swords, sticksall of which are not used for daily training.

    Fei Ruhe took a knife, Fei Chun took a stick, and Zhao Han chose the spear of course.

    ?With lunch time, you can rest for two hours at noon, and the three of them went to the Houshan Bamboo Forest together.

    Fei Ruhe started with swiping his saber, he didn't practice any martial arts routines, he only practiced simple chopping, cutting, sweeping, intercepting, stabbing, lifting, hanging and other moves.

    Fei Chun is obviously a showman. This guy doesn't want to suffer, and has been practicing stick techniques.

    After playing around for a while, Fei Ruhe retracted the knife out of breath.  Seeing that Zhao Han just stabbed repeatedly, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Wei taught you?"

    "How does the young master know?" Zhao Han asked back.

    Fei Ruhe smiled and said: "At the beginning when I asked him to teach me the saber technique, he only taught one move, the frontal chop, and said that he would teach the next move after I had practiced it well."

    Zhao Han asked curiously: "Who is the young master's martial arts teacher?"

    "Of course it's my fourth uncle," Fei Ruhe reminded, "Don't tell my father, he doesn't know that my fourth uncle taught me martial arts."

    "I see." Zhao Han couldn't help being curious about the fourth uncle.

    Until now, Ehu Fei's fourth young master has never shown up, and it is said that he traveled to Nanchang for a tour.

    Fei Ruhe stuck his knife in the ground, took the opportunity to rest and said, "Do you know which ancestor of the Fei family I admire the most?"

    Zhao Han replied: "It must be Duke Ehu (Fei Hong)."

    Fei Hong is the second Jinshi of the Fei family in Qianshan. He was the first in the boy's examination at the age of thirteen, the first in the provincial examination at the age of sixteen, won the number one scholar at the age of twenty, and was the youngest number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.

    "No, no," Fei Ruhe said with a smile, "I most admire Tang Yugong (Fei Yaonian)!"

    Fei Yaonian was the last famous minister of the Fei family in Qianshan. He was gifted and intelligent since he was a child.  But when he was ten years old, he suddenly ran to learn martial arts from his seventh uncle. He was good at riding and shooting, and knew strategy.  In this way, he was delayed in studying, and was imprisoned in the academy by his elders. He studied hard for two years, finally became a scholar at the age of sixteen, and was admitted as a Jinshi at the age of twenty-four.

    When the emperor supervised the construction of the Wanshou Bridge in the palace, he was impeached by the dignitaries to guard the place because he saved millions of taels of silver because of careful planning.  He also punished grain merchants in Fujian, stabilized prices, offended chief officials and wealthy families, and was forced to transfer to the military constitution of Suzhou.  Suzhou Haoqiang was also badly harmed, and he was promoted and transferred again.  Afterwards, they are often in the same position. Although they have outstanding achievements, they are promoted.??It was very slow, and he only became the Zuo Buzheng of Guangdong Governing the people's livelihood, supervising projects, training soldiers and fighting, he knew everything, and was finally thrown to Nanjing to eat idle food, so angry that Fei Yaonian resigned directly and returned to his hometown.

    Fei Ruhe raised his sword and said arrogantly: "When a man is alive, if he can't stabilize the country, then he will be a hero!"

    Ren Xia's side, robbing the rich and helping the poor?

    The richest people here are the Fei family, if you have the guts to rob your own.

    Fei Ruhe suddenly asked: "Have you seen "Water Margin"?"

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "I've seen it."

    Fei Ruhe asked again: "Which hero do you like best?"

    Zhao Han thought for a while: "Lu Zhishen."

    Fei Ruhe patted his belly: "I like Lu Junyi the most. From now on, I will be Lu Junyi, and you will be Yanqing!"

    Fei Chun couldn't help but interjected: "Master, you said you wanted me to be Yanqing's."

    Fei Ruhe said with distaste: "You are not good at martial arts, and you are always lazy in practicing on weekdays."

    Fei Chun hesitated to speak, feeling aggrieved, like a grieving wife abandoned by her lover.

    Zhao Han reminded: "Lu Junyi ended badly, he was poisoned to death by treacherous ministers."

    "That's Song Jiang's bastard," Fei Ruhe said indignantly, "If I were Lu Junyi, I would kill Song Jiang and take the top spot in Liangshan myself!"

    Zhao Han shut up, it's hard to vomit.

    Fei Ruhe said again: "Song Jiang is not a good man, and Li Kui who listens to him is not a good man either. Li Kui is a thief who kills innocent children. When I was reading "Water Margin", I was so angry that I tore up the book!"

    Well, it seems that the three views are quite positive.

    If you don't read "Water Margin", you will easily go astray. Zhao Han thinks it should be guided.  So he said, "What's so good about "Water Margin"? I'll tell the young master a more exciting story."

    Fei Ruhe asked suspiciously: "Is there anything more exciting than "Water Margin"?"

    "Of course," Zhao Han opened his mouth and said, "Let's say that during the Five Dynasties, there was an old man collecting herbs in Zhongnan Mountain. One day, he went to the mountain to collect herbs, and suddenly the mountains shook, and the old man fell into the cave on the cliff.  A pangolin, and told the old man the shocking news. But it was the pangolin that inadvertently pierced through the Town Demon Cave and let go of two thousand-year-old fairies"

    Children, what "Water Margin" are you reading?

    "Gourd Baby" is more suitable!

    The ancients never heard of this, Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun were quickly attracted.

    "Boom!"

    Zhao Han was speechless: "The gourd fell to the ground, but there was a loud noise, and a boy split the gourd and came out. The boy wore a gourd in a bun, and he was dressed in fiery red clothes, and his skirt was also a gourd leaf. The boy  , is the eldest brother among the seven gourd babies. He is extremely powerful and has supernatural powers, but he can become as big as a mountain, and he can crush monsters to death with one foot"

    Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun were dumbfounded when they heard this, and wished they could go home and plant gourds immediately.

    "However, the second child is also born with supernatural powers. Eyes can see thousands of miles, and ears can hear all directions. The so-called clairvoyant eyes and ears that follow the wind are also The third child has a copper head and iron arms, and is invulnerable to swords and guns"

    "Okay, that's all for today. If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter!"

    Fei Ruhe became anxious immediately: "Don't, hurry up and talk, have these three children rescued the eldest brother and the second brother?"

    Fei Chun also said: "That's right, brother, tell me quickly, I feel like a cat scratching my heart."

    Zhao Han smiled triumphantly: "That's all I'll talk about today, don't delay studying and practicing martial arts."

    Fei Ruhe scolded Fei Chun: "You have to pay money for listening to the book, and I will reward you soon, let's talk a little more."

    Fei Chun hurriedly took out a handful of copper coins, and said flatteringly, "Brother, tell me quickly."

    Zhao Han took the copper coins and said angrily: "We are all brothers, yet you use these stupid things to insult me. I won't talk about it!"

    Fei Chun was speechless, thinking: Then you should pay me back the money anyway.

    Fei Ruhe had no choice but to ask: "My good brother, how can I say another paragraph?"

    Zhao Han held his head high and stood with his hands behind his back: "For the sake of the young master, I will finish Sanba's story today. If you want to listen to the rest, don't make trouble in class, and you must improve your homework."

    "Okay, I won't make trouble, so tell me about Sanwa." Fei Ruhe said hastily.

    "Ahem," Zhao Han cleared his throat, "but that Sanwa, with a copper head and iron arm, is invulnerable to swords and guns. He went into the monster's cave, and ordinary swords couldn't hurt him at all. A bat spirit flew over and threw a flying fork with all his strength. Sanwa  Without dodging or dodging, the flying fork landed on him, and the fork tip made of fine steel was bent and unusable. Another centipede came with an axe, and he slashed out, and the ax was blown out a few times  If you want to know what will happen next, let’s listen to the next chapter to break it down!”

    Fei Ruhe's heart itched unbearably: "Brother, let's talk again soon. Is it time for the fourth baby to be born? What kind of supernatural power does the fourth baby have?"

    Zhao Han picked up his spear to practice stabbing, and said with a smile, "Practice martial arts!"

    Fei Ruhe had no choice but to raise his knife to practice. While practicing, he became upset and said to Fei Chun, "Go and find some gourd seeds. I want to grow gourds."

    Fei Chun kept complaining: "Master, where can I find gourd seeds?"

    Fei Ruhe immediately scolded: "This kind of thing can't be done well, why don't you come to be the young master?"

    Fei Chun trotted away from the bamboo forest and searched for gourd seeds all over the world.Fei Ruhe's heart itched unbearably: "Brother, let's talk again soon, is it time for the fourth baby to be born? What kind of supernatural power does the fourth baby have?"

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 029【Strict Master and High Apprentice】

    The first class in the afternoon is to review and recite the scriptures taught in the morning. If you don’t understand anything, you can ask the teacher.

    All the schoolchildren shook their heads, seeming to be reciting the book seriously, but they were actually taking the opportunity to chat and have fun.

    Pang Chunlai walked back and forth on crutches, squinting his eyes to observe the situation.  When he came to Zhao Han, he suddenly bent down and moved closer to his head, looked carefully for a long time, and asked, "New here?"

    "New here." Zhao Han replied.

    Seeing that there was nothing on the table, Pang Chunlai asked again, "Where are your books and ink?"

    Zhao Han said, "I haven't gone to collect it yet."

    "A schoolboy without books and ink is like a farmer without a hoe, or a soldier without a sword," Pang Chunlai blew his beard and stared angrily, and scolded, "Hurry up and get it!"

    "Sir, you taught me a lesson." Zhao Han said immediately.

    Fei Ruhe also stood up: "Sir, I will help him get it."

    "Sit down, doesn't he have long legs?" Pang Chunlai didn't have a good impression of Fei Ruhe.

    "Oh." Fei Ruhe sat back in his seat, shaking his head and reciting the book, but he was thinking of Calabash Baby.

    Zhao Han soon came to Zangshuge, where there are some simple books, the real good books have been moved to Hanzhu Academy.

    "Sir, I'm a new school boy and I want to get a book, pen and ink."

    "How about learning cards?"

    Zhao Han took out his student ID card.

    In front of him is a young man, probably born as a slave of Fei's family, and temporarily working as a school worker in a private school.  If you pass the assessment, you can be upgraded to a teaching assistant, and you will be able to explain elementary school (preschool courses) to children.

    The janitor glanced at Zhao Han's school badge, then took out a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and returned the Four Books textbook and some papyrus.

    Following the rules of official schools, Hanzhu Private School also has two kinds of students.

    One is a full-time student who pays the tuition fee and enjoys a full set of benefits.

    One is attached students, free lectures, nothing more.

    Among the regular students, there are children from the same family and children from other surnames.  Students from Fei's family can receive school supplies for free, and can eat and live at the school for free.

    Fei Chun, a school boy, and Xu Ying, a poor student, are all attached students who attend classes.

    However, the school card in Zhao Han's hand is the same as that of Fei's family members. This is a very special treatment for top students!

    ? If Xu Ying, a poor student, can successfully pass the entrance examination and be recommended by the teacher, she can also be converted from an attached student to a regular student, and get the preferential treatment that Zhao Han enjoys at the moment.  At that time, Xu Ying will have free board and lodging in Hanzhu Academy, and receive a certain amount of ink ingots and straw paper every month.

    The janitor knocked on the booklet: "Sign after counting."

    Zhao Han carefully compared the item list, signed and said: "Thank you, sir."

    The janitor glanced at Zhao Han's surname, put away the brochure and said, "It's not easy to get funding from the Fei family, you have to study hard."

    "Students, remember." Zhao Han packed his things and took them away.

    His current status is somewhat similar to "Schr?dinger's cat".

    The hired worker didn't take it seriously, and was forced to sign an adoption contract, nominally belonging to Fei Yinghuan's adopted son.

    However, this adoption contract was not reported to the government as usual.  The household registrations of him and his younger sister are neither in the main register of Fei's household registration nor in the secondary register of Fei's household registration.

    This phenomenon is very common, and its nature is extremely bad, that is, the hidden population who take shelter of the gentry!

    Once an accident occurs, the Fei family can immediately take out the contract and report to the government quickly, so that the adoption relationship will be protected by law-this will not only avoid paying taxes to the government, but also prevent the slaves from rebelling at any time.

    The imperial court is not a fool. During the Wanli period, a special document was issued, stipulating that adopted sons (domestic slaves) who had been adopted (effective) for a short period of time should be defined according to their status as employees, so as to avoid the long-term concealment of the population by the big clan.

    But the law is dead, and local officials are alive, which has completely become a dead letter.

    If Zhao Han performed particularly well, Fei Yinghuan could operate to let him take the imperial examination as an adopted son.  The name must be changed to Fei Han, otherwise the identity will not be recognized by the examiner.  But in the future, if you are admitted to Juren or Jinshi, you can change your name back, become an official as a nephew, and integrate into the social network of the Fei family.

    ? To Zhao Han, and to Fei, it was a deal that did not lose money.

    It's a pity that Zhao Han didn't think about taking the road of imperial examinations, he just procrastinated until he grew up.

    Returning to the classroom with the books and pen and ink in his arms, Zhao Han just sat down when he was called by Pang Chunlai to give a lecture.

    "Name." Pang Chunlai asked.

    Zhao Han replied: "Zhao Han, the vastness of the vastness."

    Since his surname is not Fei and he can receive books, it must be Fei.I have to control these two idiots and call out to Xu Ying: "You stay here."

    Xu Ying stepped forward immediately, just in time to get rid of the stalker.

    Pang Chunlai took out his waist card and said to Zhao Han: "Go to the cafeteria to get food and come back, let's eat and attend lectures together."

    What the hell, you have to make up lessons for dinner?

    It's the same as reviewing for the college entrance examination.

    Zhao Han quickly ran to the cafeteria and brought food with two brands.

    Back in the classroom, all the other students left, leaving only Pang Chunlai, Zhao Han, and Xu Ying.

    Pang Chunlai said to Xu Ying: "I'm delayed in the afternoon, I'll give you a supplementary lecture on poetry, and you will share half of my meal."

    Xu Ying hurriedly refused: "Mr. kindly, the students appreciate it"

    "Elm head!"

    Before Xu Ying could finish speaking, Pang Chunlai slapped him with a ruler: "I want you to have backbone, not to make you pedantic. The teacher doesn't even eat, so you just starve to death!"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Student Xu, this gift from the elders, I dare not resign."

    Pang Chunlai immediately became happy again, and taught Xu Ying: "Remember, that's the reason. You have to follow Zhao Han to learn how to respond."

    Xu Ying hurriedly cupped her hands: "The student has been taught." Then she saluted Zhao Han, "Thank you for your advice."

    The three sat down and ate with bowls.

    Pang Chunlai held the bowl in one hand and pointed at the book with chopsticks in the other: "Today we will talk about quatrains, eight lines of verses, and only half of quatrains. The quatrains can be cut off. You can cut off the beginning and end of the verses, you can cut off the first half of the verses, you can cut If you follow the spectrum  Tune, divided into Rhythm Jue, Gu Jue and Yi Jue" Suddenly, Pang Chunlai asked Zhao Han, "Have you ever studied "Ping Shui Yun"?"

    "I have learned a little bit." Zhao Han replied.

    Pang Chunlai frowned: "How come you have learned everything? Don't be fooled in the future, you must study hard!"

    Zhao Han murmured in his heart: Nonsense, just a college elective course, just a casual understanding of the general situation, do I still memorize all kinds of rhymes?

    Pang Chunlai basically didn't care about the stubborn students.

    But for top students, Pang Chunlai was terribly strict, and Zhao Han had already been targeted by him.

    In the following days, Zhao Han seemed to be back in his third year of high school ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 030【Master Pang】

    Bamboo forest.

    The two masters and servants squatted facing each other, staring at a small hole in the middle.

    Fei Ruhe muttered: "It has been planted for three days, why hasn't the gourd sprouted yet?"

    "Is there something wrong with the seeds?" Fei Chun thought about it, and suddenly felt that he had solved the case. He got up angrily and said, "It must be the old farmer who gave me bad seeds. It is too deceitful!"

    Fei Ruhe rolled his eyes: "No grievance, no enmity, why did he give you a bad seed, and asked you to beat him up?"

    "The young master's words are justified," Fei Chun squatted down again, muttering, "Could it be that there is not enough water?"

    Fei Ruhe asked: "Do you water every day?"

    Fei Chun said: "Yesterday, the water was overturned halfway, and I peed instead. Farmers in the village also use excrement and urine to irrigate the land. It is said that it is more fertile than clear water."

    "asshole!"

    Fei Ruhe was furious, and rushed to grab the school boy's skirt: "You dare to use your own urine to drench this young master's gourd baby, I, I I will kill you!"

    Fei Chun panicked and begged: "Young master, spare your life, excrement and urine can fertilize the land, and gourds will only grow better."

    Fei Ruhe refused to let go, and kicked the book boy over: "Even if the gourd baby grows faster, when they are born, I'm afraid they won't want to call me grandpa. Most likely shouted: Wu that thief, you let me  Eating feces and drinking urine, today I will teach you to die!"

    "No no way." Fei Chun was sweating on his brow, realizing the seriousness of the problem.

    "Pfft!"

    Zhao Han has been in the bamboo forest for a long time, so he couldn't help laughing out loud.

    Fei Ruhe finally let go of the book boy, pointed to the small pit where the gourd was planted, and said to Zhao Han: "This gourd baby, mustn't be stillborn, and be suffocated to death by the smell of urine, right?"

    Zhao Han couldn't help laughing: "Master, it's the end of autumn and the beginning of winter. Who do you see planting crops in winter? And it's only been three days since they were planted. Even if they can germinate, the time is not so fast."

    "Yes yes yes, not so fast!" Fei Chun quickly agreed.

    A young master, a book boy, how does he know how to farm?

    Zhao Han couldn't help asking: "Young master, you shouldn't be stunned, right? Do you really think this can grow a gourd baby?"

    Fei Ruhe laughed and said, "I'm not really stupid, I'm just playing around."

    Fei Chun got up from the ground: "I'll play with the young master."

    Zhao Han: ""

    Ganqing, these two are not fools, let's just put on acting to relieve boredom.

    Fei Ruhe raised his big knife, waved it casually a few times, and asked, "Why did Mr. Today let you out?"

    "Oh," Zhao Han sighed, "I lied and said I had a stomachache, so I slipped out to get some air."

    Fei Chun immediately gloated, and laughed loudly: "Haha, the young master said you can last for half a month, but unexpectedly you can't take it in three days?"

    Who can bear it?

    Pang Chunlai was afraid that Zhao Han would not be able to keep up with his study progress, so he gave him extra lessons every day, and did not let him rest after school.

    At the beginning, Zhao Han studied very seriously, reciting "University" while lying in bed.

    Thinking that this would help him get out of the misery early, unexpectedly Pang Chunlai saw him making rapid progress, and the more he taught, the more excited he became, and he announced the extension of the after-school tutoring time.

    Really just like reviewing for the college entrance examination!

    In three days, Zhao Han was able to recite the entire chapter of "The Great Learning".

    This is not a big deal, the total is about 2,000 characters, and it can be handled with a slightly better memory, but Pang Chunlai also asked him to memorize Zhu Xi's annotations.

    That would be particularly nonsense, plus the text is nearly 10,000 words!

    It is absolutely impossible for Zhao Han to memorize annotations, which is not in line with his learning philosophy.  The main text and sentences are exquisite, and you can recite all of them, but Zhu Xi's annotations only need to be understood, and it is a waste of time and energy to recite them forcibly.

    The length of "Gourd Baby" is not long, so I took the time to finish it yesterday, and the master and servant will stop pestering him now.

    Fei Ruhe swung his sword and began to exercise. Zhao Han sat beside him and watched him wielding his sword, and asked casually, "Where did Master Pang come from?"

    "I don't know." Fei Ruhe didn't stop, he slashed out one after another.

    Fei Chun put down his stick and was lazy: "I heard from the young master that Mrs. Pang used to be a staff member, and his benefactor was a high-ranking official. He couldn't be an official if he encountered party disputes."

    So it turned out that he was no ordinary old pedant.

    In the last years of Wanli, the party struggle was fierce.

    The Zhejiang Party, the Qi Party, and the Chu Party are united and are collectively referred to as the "Qi-Chu-Zhe Party".  They took control of Nanjing Jingcha and expelled Donglin party members wantonly.  The Donglin Party controlled Beijing Jingcha, and also wantonly expelled the Qi Chuzhe Party.

    Since then, the two sides have taken turns in charge of Jingcha, and they have intensified their attacks on each other.After Wei Zhongxian gained power, the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties, which could not hold on, turned to eunuchs one after another to form eunuch forces.

    I can't tell who is good and who is bad, I can only say half a catty.

    Zhao Han suddenly became interested in current affairs, so he immediately ran to the library and borrowed a few handwritten pond newspapers with his student card.

    It's all outdated news half a year ago, and the freshly released Tang newspaper is worth a lot.

    Opening a copy of this February, I can understand the official transfer, but I don't understand the meaning behind it at all.

    Zhan Shilong, the Zuo Buzheng envoy of Shaanxi, was transferred to the post of Minister of Guanglu Temple in Nanjing.

    This transfer can be understood as a rising and falling, and was thrown by political opponents to Nanjing for retirement.  It may also be a precursor to being reused (unlikely), using Nanjing Guanglu Siqing as a springboard, the mixed resume will soon rise steadily.

    Which faction does Jameson belong to?  Is this change good or bad?  Who is his backer?

    Zhao Han's eyes were darkened.

    But he was not discouraged, but took out the straw paper for calligraphy practice, and recorded various keywords according to the pond newspaper.

    After copying a few copies, it was almost time for class.

    Back in the classroom, all the students came one after another, and Pang Chunlai announced the review and recitation as usual.

    Zhao Han ran to the podium and said, "Sir, the students have a few questions they would like to ask."

    "That's how you should work hard." Pang Chunlai was very happy.

    Zhao Han asked in a low voice: "Who is Zhan Shilong?"

    Pang Chunlai narrowed his short-sighted eyes to look at Zhao Han: "Why do you ask him?"

    "The student just went to Zangshu Pavilion and read a few newspapers by the way." Zhao Han said.

    Pang Chunlai wanted to criticize a few words and urge Zhao Han to study hard.  But he felt that Zhao Han was well-behaved, so there was no need to say anything more, so he answered, "Zhan Shilong is from Guangxin Prefecture. His hometown is next to Qianshan Mountain, and he was born in the Yongfeng family. His son Zhan Zhaoheng is now studying at Hanzhu Academy.  , this son is a genius, I am afraid that he will be able to become a Jinshi in a weak year!"

    Good guy, I asked a local when I came here, and my son was still studying on the mountainside.

    Fei Yinghuan's good friend, Hu Mengtai, historically dispersed all his family wealth to fight against the Qing Dynasty. After defending the city for several months, both husband and wife died for the country.

    As for Mr. Pang, Zhan Zhaoheng also dissipated all his wealth to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and led 3,000 soldiers to set off. Only 18 people survived, and he died heroically for the country.

    In the small Hanzhu Mountain, there are two anti-Qing people who are retreating in the academy to prepare for the exam.

    Fei Yinghuan barely counted. He later joined the Fushe to fight against the Qing Dynasty. After his failure, he absconded and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion.

    Zhao Han continued to ask: "Who is Lu Shanji?"

    "This man is Sun Chengzong's right-hand man No," Pang Chunlai suddenly opened his eyes wide and glared, "You are too young to be good at studying, why do you ask these courtiers?"

    Zhao Han explained: "Just a random question. The students read the Eryuetang newspaper just now, and the first minister mentioned was Zhan Shilong, and the second minister was Lu Shanji."

    Pang Chunlai shouted: "Get out!"

    ? Zhao Han hurried off, not daring to stay any longer, Master Pang was really angry.

    Pang Chunlai closed his eyes and rested his mind, his chest was floating, his breathing was short of breath, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

    The name Lu Shanji reminded him of some past events, some very unhappy ones!

    Pang Chunlai's benefactor is called Wang Zaijin, which is different from what is recorded in "History of the Ming Dynasty".  He started his career by fighting Japanese pirates, and half of the official positions he held along the way were related to the military.

    In the second year of Tianqi, Wang Zaijin replaced Xiong Tingbi as Minister of the Ministry of War and Deputy Imperial Envoy of the Right Deputy Capital, and managed Liaodong, Jizhen, Tianjin, and Denglai.

    Wang Zaijin advocated strategic contraction, abandoning most of the territory outside the pass, and building passes layer by layer with Shanhaiguan as the center.  In this way, the pressure on military spending and military pressure in Liaodong can be reduced, and the defense of strategically important areas can be concentrated, and an attack can be made if the opportunity is seized.

    Therefore, Wang Zaijin was finished, and he dared to reduce the military expenditure of Liaodong, and he dared to take the initiative to give up the inherent territory of Liaodong generals!

    Yuan Chonghuan was pushed out to be a pawn, and made a small report with Ye Xianggao.

    Then Sun Chengzong went out and asked to inspect Shanhaiguan. After returning to Beijing, he said that Wang had no ability in Jin Dynasty, so he began to build a long and narrow line of defense on a large scale. Since then, Liaodong has completely become a black hole of military expenditure.

    Just this March, Wang Zaijin came back again.

    In half a year, he first became Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, then Minister of the Ministry of War, and then dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.

    Wang Qia, who has never been in contact with military affairs, succeeds the Minister of the Ministry of War. This person is the disciple of Zhao Nanxing, the leader of the Donglin Party!

    Pang Chunlai read the Tang newspaper every month. When he saw Wang Zaijin dismissed from office and returned to his hometown, and Wang Qia took over as Minister of the Ministry of War, Master Pang thought: Liaodong is over

    (What does Sun Chengzong say, military capabilities are very watery, this statement may make some readers feel uncomfortable.When Wang Qia took over as Minister of the Ministry of War, Mrs. Pang thought: Liaodong is over

    (What does Sun Chengzong say, military capabilities are very watery, this statement may make some readers feel uncomfortable.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoals 031【Smooth weather】

    "However, the big boy shouted: 'Change, change, big, big!' In an instant, he became as tall as a mountain. Every time he took a step forward, the ground shook"

    "A toad spirit came and shouted: 'Little baby, you surrender quickly, or I will teach you to eat hob meat!' The big baby ignored it and stepped on it, just like stepping on a bedbug. Haha  , hey, it was trampled flat"

    In the gazebo, Fei Chun was talking about "Gourd Baby".

    And the water is so tight, all kinds of onomatopoeia, also with their own lines, and by the way, perform some fighting moves.

    Fei Chun can talk about the plot that Zhao Han finished in a quarter of an hour.

    "good!"

    "Give it to my young master!"

    The big and small schoolchildren cheered in unison, and their bookboys stepped forward one after another and dropped copper coins into Fei Ruhe's bookcase.

    Fei Ruhe was eating melon seeds, his heart was already full of joy.

    "Boom! There was a loud noise, the gourd fell to the ground, and a doll in orange clothes came out. Cough cough! If you want to know what happened next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down!"

    Fei Chun was more ruthless than Zhao Han. He only broke the chapter after the first baby was finished, and left the button of the second baby's birth.

    "Keep talking, give a reward quickly!"

    "What kind of supernatural power is Erwa?"

    "Is Dawa caught dead?"

    ""

    All the schoolchildren were yelling and itching to finish listening.

    Fei Ruhe continued to eat melon seeds.

    Fei Chun raised his hand and shouted: "Students, be quiet, be quiet! Every day, I can only talk about one episode. But, I have gourd seeds here, which I specially asked for from the mountain god. Take these seeds and let them grow every day."  Enshrined, gourds can be planted in spring. A gourd seed only costs five qian, that's all, if you don't pay enough, you won't be able to buy it!"

    "Can you really grow gourd babies?" a schoolboy asked.

    Fei Chun replied: "As long as you water it well, you can really grow gourds!"

    "Then I'll buy ten seeds." The schoolboy said excitedly.

    Fei Chun shook his head: "No, the seeds are precious, and each person is limited to one. At most, your book boy will be counted."

    Even the purchase limit?

    That must be a good thing!

    Children from rich families paid for it one after another, and children from poor families were envious, and they all fantasized that they could grow gourd babies.

    Hanzhu Academy is divided into private school and academy.

    Hanzhu Private School is divided into Mongolian Hall and Classical Hall.

    The Mongolian Museum teaches pre-school reading materials, which are basically for children of a few years old.

    The classics lectures on the Four Books and Five Classics are all students who have not passed the entrance examination.

    Most of those who are willing to spend money to buy gourd seeds are under the age of twelve, and most of them are young children, holding the seeds and laughing silly.

    Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun ran back to the bamboo forest, where Zhao Han was practicing stabbing.

    "Divide the money, divide the money!" Fei Ruhe was elated.

    Listening to the book as a reward, plus selling gourd seeds, earned a total of 16 taels and 5 coins, plus more than 700 various copper coins.

    The three people shared equally, and each received 5 taels of silver and 238 copper coins.

    Fei Chun flattered him sincerely and said, "Brother is really a genius. He came up with a good idea to make money. You only have to pay so much in a day. When you finish telling "Gourd Baby", you still can't earn more than a hundred taels?"

    Zhao Han said coldly: "How easy is it? Gourd seeds are a one-off sale, and you can only earn a few bounties from now on."

    Fei Chun smiled and said, "It's enough to earn money."

    Holding the silver in his hand, Fei Ruhe felt a great sense of accomplishment in his heart, and said happily: "In the past, I was spending money, but today I can make money. Brother Han will be my military advisor from now on!"

    "Master, what should I do then?" Fei Chun asked hastily.

    Fei Ruhe said: "You are a general under my command!"

    "Okay, you three liars!"

    Suddenly, Fei Yuanjian appeared with his followers, threatening: "I'm going to tell the head of the mountain, you three cheated my classmates of money!"

    Fei Ruhe clenched his fist and asked, "Who saw that I cheated money?"

    "Exactly!" Fei Chun hid behind the young master.

    Zhao Han asked: "We are storytellers, classmates give rewards, what you love and what I want, how can it be considered cheating?"

    Fei Yuanjian said: "You sell fake seeds!"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Who said it was a fake seed? Plant it in spring, it is easy to cultivate, and it will definitely grow gourd vines."

    "It will definitely not grow a gourd baby!" Fei Yuanjian said.

    Zhao Han turned around and asked Fei Ruhe: "Master, did you say that you can grow gourd babies? ?Therefore, he has been serving as Fei Yuanjian's attendant.

    "Sir, I don't know." The farmer replied with his head bowed, guilty.

    Pang Chunlai asked: "You and Xu Ying are in the same village, how could you not know?"

    The peasant buried his head lower: "I really don't know."

    Pang Chunlai realized that something was wrong. Xu Ying insisted on going to school even if she had a minor illness. What's more, she was still there in the morning, so why didn't she disappear in the afternoon?

    "Who is going to find Xu Ying?" Pang Chunlai asked.

    "Sir, I'll go!"

    Anyone who wasn't Fei Yuanjian's follower enthusiastically raised their hands to sign up, and Fei Ruhe even stood up directly.

    Looking for people is false, wandering around the mountains is true, as long as you don't stay in the classroom.

    Pang Chunlai closed his eyes, held the ruler and said, "You all go."

    In an instant, most of the classroom was empty, only Fei Yuanjian and his little brother were left.

    Pang Chunlai asked: "Why don't you go?"

    "Ah?" Fei Yuanjian panicked, and quickly stood up, "Go, go, I'll go."

    Fei Ruhe wandered happily all over the mountain like a bird out of its cage.

    Zhao Han asked: "Where does Xu Ying usually go?"

    "How do I know? I'm not his father?" Fei Ruhe said with a smile.

    Zhao Han thought for a while: "Go to his house first."

    Fei Chun interjected, "I know where his home is."

    After walking for about a quarter and a half, Zhao Han came to the village at the foot of the mountain.

    Fei Chun pointed forward: "Through this small bamboo forest, Xu Ying's house is just a few dozen steps away."

    The three of them entered the forest when they suddenly heard a noise.

    Looking over, it was farmers who were digging holes, and there was a bamboo basket beside them.

    Zhao Han walked over and asked, "My countryman, have you seen Xu Ying?"

    The farmer turned around abruptly and saw that they were three children, so he continued to dig the hole and said in a low voice, "I didn't see them."

    "Zhao Han, let's go, why are you standing there?" Fei Ruhe urged.

    Fei Chun also asked, "What's wrong, brother?"

    Zhao Han stared at the bamboo basket, trembling all over, and finally chose to leave silently.

    In the bamboo basket was the corpse of a baby. Although it was covered with rags, bruises and handprints were faintly visible on the neck.

    Having a child can't support you, you can only strangle it and bury it

    This is the rich and prosperous Jiangnan, and this year's Qianshan Mountain has a good weather.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 032【Crazy】

    Although it is early winter, the sun is warm today, and it doesn't look cold.

    The breeze blows into the bamboo forest, making a rustling sound, as if playing the beautiful notes of nature.

    With such weather and such scenery, it should have been a fresh pastoral poem.  But Zhao Han seemed to see a picture of ghosts and ghosts, with flesh and blood and limbs all over the place, evil ghosts showing their teeth and claws, and yakshas circling in the sky and laughing cruelly.

    Seemingly back outside the city of Tianjin, Zhao Han took his sister's hand and walked past countless menacing gazes.

    Perhaps, Zhao Han almost forgot the hardships of that day because of the lack of worry about food and clothing these days.  I forgot that he was in the south of Tianjin, and saw someone exchanging children's corpses, and saw someone using bones as firewood to cook soup.

    Arriving at Qianshan Mountain, Zhao Han could vaguely guess that the low-level people here are not having a good time.

    But the prosperous and prosperous town, the fields with abundant grain, and the academy in the paradise all cast a veil over the reality.  No one is willing to uncover and look directly at the hidden ugliness, and Zhao Han is no exception, because it is really unacceptable.

    If this continues, Zhao Han will probably be domesticated, a domestication that he himself cannot detect.

    ? Feel that life is not bad until one day disaster strikes.

    Get used to it?

    No!

    It shouldn't be like this!

    "Young master, brother, this is the place."

    Zhao Han was awakened suddenly.

    Somehow, they had already left the bamboo forest, Fei Chun raised his finger and pointed to a few earthen houses.

    The walls are rammed with soil, and bamboo strips are sandwiched in the walls, which are similar to the role of steel bars.  At the same time, it is also mixed with straw, which can limit the temperature isolation, so as to obtain the effect of warm in winter and cool in summer.

    The roof is a thatched roof, and it will have to be repaired after a period of time, otherwise it will definitely be exposed to wind and rain.

    A woman was drying bamboo leaves, which are very high-quality fire materials.  Bamboo leaves fall automatically every day, and you have to hurry to collect them. If you catch them from another house, you may fight.

    "Excuse me, is Xu Ying at home?" Zhao Han asked, clasping his hands.

    The woman was obviously wrong, her face turned pale in an instant, and she held the bamboo rake in her hand and said, "He did he get into trouble in the academy?"

    Fei Ruhe said: "Xu Ying this afternoon"

    "No trouble," Zhao Han immediately interrupted Fei Ruhe, smiling, "We are Xu Ying's classmates, and we skipped class to play around."

    The woman immediately relaxed a lot and became enthusiastic: "Three young masters, come and sit at home, I will pour water for you!"

    "Aunt Lao is here." Zhao Han said.

    This woman seemed to be in her thirties or forties, or in her forties or fifties, and it was impossible to accurately observe her age.

    A two or three-year-old doll, with a long nose, was lying at the door peeping at them.  The nasal mucus flowed to the upper lip, sucked back with a swipe, and then protruded out of the nostrils, looking for the original path to flow again.

    Zhao Han kicked away a bunch of bamboo leaves, and there were many words written on the dirt floor, which should have been written by Xu Ying——

    The Master said: The three armies can win the commander, but the common man cannot win the ambition.

    The Master said: The clothes are worn out and the gowns are worn out, stand with those who wear foxes and raccoons, and those who are not ashamed, what is the reason?  If you don't ask for it, why don't you regret it

    "Let's go." Zhao Han turned and left.

    They all disappeared without a trace, and the woman finally brought out the water.

    She holds a kettle in her left hand, and three clay bowls in her right hand, which are the bowls with the fewest gaps in the house.  And it has been cleaned several times just now, so it must be clean, so as not to attract the disgust of my son and classmates

    Fei Yuanjian panicked more and more at this moment, his mind was full of images of himself being hung up and beaten.

    It's nothing to bully classmates, just a poor peasant.

    The biggest mistake he made was throwing the book into the water.  Such behavior, placed on the Fei Mountain, is no different from deceiving the master and destroying the ancestors!

    ?He brought his followers to the stream and found that Xu Ying was still in place.

    The farmer sat on his knees, his trousers and shoes were wet by the stream.  Holding the cobblestone inkstone in both hands, he stared blankly at the destroyed book, his eyes glazed over, and he muttered to himself, not knowing what he was muttering.

    Fei Yuanjian got closer and finally heard the content clearly. It turned out that Xu Ying was reciting "The Analects of Confucius" together with Zhu Xi's annotations.

    It has been memorized for more than half an hour.

    All the schoolchildren came to Xu Ying, but he still kept reciting without looking at others, as if he was cut off from the world.

    "This guy is not stupid, is he?" said a schoolboy.

    "I look like it."

    "Hey, Xu Ying, sir let us find you to go back to study!"

    "It's so stupid, he doesn't pay attention to what he says."

    "Why don't you slap him? Listen?If you have lost your soul, you can wake up with a slap in the face.  "

    "I want to hit you."

    "Why should I fight?"

    ""

    The student who was usually bullied arbitrarily, no one dared to contact him at the moment, they just walked around to check him.

    Fei Yuanjian finally couldn't help it, kicked the soaked book away, and shouted: "Don't pretend to be crazy anymore, just say a few words!"

    This move has had an effect.

    Xu Ying, who was staring at the book at first, slowly raised her head to look at Fei Yuanjian because the book was kicked away, and the voice of reciting became louder: "The master said: 'A country has the way, but its words are dangerous;  Dangerous line speaks grandson. 'Yes, grandson, go together. Dangerous, high and steep. Sun, humble and obedient"

    Fei Yuanjian threatened: "I don't care if you are stupid or not, anyway, your book has fallen into the water and has nothing to do with me. Don't talk nonsense in front of Mr. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you!"

    With tears still on Xu Ying's face, she stood up holding the cobblestone inkstone, her eyes were red, and she looked at Fei Yuanjian: "The master said: 'Those who are virtuous must have words, and those who have words do not need to be virtuous; those who are benevolent must have courage, and those who are brave  There is no need to be benevolent.' Those who are virtuous will accumulate in peace and harmony, and the glory will be released"

    Fei Yuanjian suddenly felt hairy in his heart, subconsciously took two steps back, and scolded: "Did you hear that!"

    "Nangong Shi asked Confucius, saying: 'Yi is good at shooting, but he is good at rowing a boat, and he will not die; Yuji bows to the crops, and he has the world'" Xu Ying continued to move forward by reciting "The Analects of Confucius".

    Fei Yuanjian was so frightened that he backed away again. He felt ashamed after taking a few steps back, so he bravely stood still and said, "Don't pretend to be stupid, I ah!"

    "The Master said: A gentleman who is not benevolent has a husband, and a man who is not a villain but is benevolent also"

    Recited one sentence after another, Xu Ying had already walked in front of Fei Yuanjian, and suddenly raised the pebble inkstone in her hand and smashed it out.

    Fei Yuanjian let out a scream, blood flowed from his forehead, and fell into the stream lying on his back.

    "Hurry up and save the young master!" Fei Yuanjian's book boy shouted.

    The other schoolchildren were frightened by Xu Ying's insanity, and they didn't dare to approach at first.

    Seeing that Fei Yuanjian was injured and fell into the stream, he immediately dispatched a few to rescue him, and the rest of them worked together to subdue Xu Ying.

    Xu Ying didn't resist at all. After smashing the inkstone, her face was expressionless, like a dead person, and she continued to recite "The Analects of Confucius": "The Master said: If you love it, don't work hard? If you love it, don't teach it.  Don't worry, the love of a calf"

    Fei Yuanjian's head was dizzy at the moment, and he was pulled up with all his strength, and he heard terrified shouts in his ears: "Blood, a lot of blood!"

    Fei Yuanjian reached out to touch his forehead, and there was indeed a lot of blood, and he fainted from fright.

    This guy is dizzy with blood, not with others, but with himself.

    The schoolchildren panicked and carried Fei Yuanjian back to the academy, escorting Xu Ying back at the same time.

    Xu Ying was still wandering in the sky, reciting "The Analects of Confucius" perfectly word for word, even surpassing the progress of the teacher's lecture.  Because the teacher didn't explain it, and the meaning of some content was unclear, Xu Ying began to think about the reason silently.

    "Doctor, doctor, the young master bled and fainted!"

    Hanzhu Academy has a doctor, who usually has a headache or is injured in a fight, and can be treated immediately.

    Fei Yuanjian's book boy said: "You guys watch here, I'll go back and report to Master and Madam!"

    Pang Chunlai rushed to hear the news, and did not ask how Fei Yuanjian was injured, but looked at Xu Ying, who was insane, and asked furiously, "What happened to Xu Ying?"

    A schoolboy replied: "He beat Fei Yuanjian until he bled and passed out."

    Pang Chunlai hit the ground with his cane: "I'm asking you guys, what happened to Xu Ying!"

    "I don't know, maybe his book fell into the water, and I was scared stupid by myself." Another schoolboy said.

    "Nonsense!"

    Pang Chunlai grabbed a schoolboy: "He regards books more than his life, how could he fall into the water? Tell me quickly, or call your parents!"

    The student was quite frightened, and tremblingly said: "Reallyhe really dropped the book into the water by himself."

    Pang Chunlai went to grab a relatively timid one again: "If you don't tell the truth, you will be expelled from the academy!"

    This man was born in a rich peasant family. He didn't dare to look directly at the teacher. He lowered his head and replied, "I didn't lose the book."

    "Who lost it?" Pang Chunlai asked.

    The children of the rich peasants were silent and did not dare to lie in front of the teacher, nor did they dare to confess Fei Yuanjian.

    "Okay, okay, even dare to destroy the books of sages and sages, Fei's family style is really good," Pang Chunlai said to the rich peasant boy, "Where are the books? Bring them back to me!"

    The children of the rich peasants, as if they had received an amnesty, hurried to the stream to look for books, and picked up their schoolbags, including the pebble inkstone that injured Fei Yuanjian.

    One after another, schoolchildren came back and gathered around to watch the excitement.

    Not long after, the "Four Books Collected Notes" was also brought back.

    Pang Chunlai looked at the ruined books, and then without saying a word, he led the foolish Xu Ying to find the head of the mountain on crutches.

    The head of the mountain is not in the private school, but in the Hanzhu Academy halfway up the mountain.

    Not long after they left, Fei Yuanjian's parents arrived on a sliding pole.

    His father just had a gloomy face, but his mother started roaring before getting down the pole.

    This is an old woman in her fifties. She gave birth to Fei Yuanjian at the age of forty-two.  She hoarsely shouted: "Whoever hurts my son, get out!"They also retrieved it, including the cobblestone inkstone that injured Fei Yuanjian.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 033【What a big seniority】

    Fei Yuanlu, courtesy name Xueqing, nickname Wuxue, head of Hanzhu Academy, compiler of "Fei's Genealogy", eldest son of famous official Fei Yaonian, grandnephew of Fei Hong, the youngest number one scholar in Ming Dynasty.

    This gentleman is over 60 years old, has a reputation as a scholar, and is a supervisor of Yin Guozi. He is good at poetry and has written "Jiaxiu Garden Collection".

    The next patriarch must be Fei Yuanlu!

    Fei Yuanlu was painting in the principal's office, when suddenly the door was pushed open, and Pang Chunlai dragged Xu Ying in angrily.

    Putting down the paintbrush, Fei Yuanlu wiped his hands with a silk handkerchief, and asked with a smile, "What kind of wind is blowing today that blows Weiran up the mountain?"

    "Yaofeng!" Pang Chunlai said angrily.

    Fei Yuanlu was stunned for a moment, and his smile did not change: "Let's talk about it, who made Wei Ran so angry?"

    Pang Chunlai pointed at Xu Ying and said furiously: "Your brother, you have driven my students crazy! What a child, who was still studying scriptures with me in the morning, and suddenly became like this!"

    Fei Yuanlu finally put away his smile and carefully observed Xu Ying's situation.

    Xu Ying's eyes were dull, as if she couldn't see things, and she kept reciting "The Analects of Confucius" in her mouth: "The master said: 'A gentleman is chaste but not forgiving.' Chastity, righteousness and firmness"

    Pang Chunlai became more and more sad when he heard it, and he shed two lines of dirty tears. He choked up and said: "This son's family is poor, he is talented and intelligent, and it is even rarer to be self-improving. Even if he lost his mind and went crazy, he was still reciting "The Analects of Confucius".  How to seek justice for him!"

    "No hurry, no hurry, let me take a look." Fei Yuanlu said reassuringly.

    Pang Chunlai sat down on crutches, closed his eyes and rested his mind to ease his excitement.

    Fei Yuanlu asked, "What's your name?"

    Xu Ying continued to recite "Annotations to the Analects of Confucius": "The master said: 'The way is different, don't conspire with each other.' For, go to the sound. The difference is like the difference between good, evil, evil, and right"

    Fei Yuanlu grabbed Xu Ying's wrist and began to take his pulse seriously.

    After a long time, Fei Yuanlu sighed, "Oh, this child has hysteria, probably caused by excessive fright."

    "Is there a cure?" Pang Chunlai hurriedly asked.

    Fei Yuanlu asked: "Besides endorsing all the time, does he also talk nonsense and beat people like crazy?"

    Pang Chunlai replied: "No nonsense, just beat your brother."

    Fei Yuanlu wanted to open Xu Ying's eyelids and observe the pupils carefully, but as soon as he stretched out his hand, Xu Ying backed away in fright.

    Fei Yuanlu had no choice but to follow up, leaning his head over to examine it carefully.  Then he went back to the desk, picked up a pen and wrote down a prescription, and called his long follower and said: "Follow the prescription, go to Hekou Town to get the medicine, there are a few herbs missing here in Hanzhu Mountain."

    "Can it be cured?" Pang Chunlai asked.

    "Look at his own good fortune," Fei Yuanlu took out another wooden box and a set of needle stones, "Brother Weiran, hold him down for me."

    Pang Chunlai got up and hugged Xu Ying, patted her back lightly, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, my child."

    Maybe it was because she felt close to Pang Chunlai, Xu Ying immediately calmed down, she didn't even memorize "The Analects of Confucius", and honestly let Fei Yuanlu give an injection.

    Fei Yuanlu said while getting the needles: "This boy, let him live on the mountain for the time being, and I will give him acupuncture every morning and evening. If he is not allowed to go down the mountain, he will not be frightened again. No one here dares to disturb him."

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Someone knocked on the door and said, "Master Shan, there are some schoolchildren asking to see you."

    Fei Yuanlu said, "Let them wait."

    The person who knocked on the door suddenly exclaimed: "Why are you here? Without permission, you are not allowed to enter!"

    Fei Ruhe's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, Fei Yuanjian's parents are here, probably to seek Xu Ying's bad luck Here they are, here they are in the hospital!"

    Fei Yuanlu administered the needle in a calm manner, and ordered: "Kick people out, don't make noise in the yard!"

    In the courtyard.

    Fei Yuanjian's father, Fei Songnian, and mother, Mrs. Zhang, barged in with a sliding pole, followed by a dozen house slaves.

    After receiving the order from the head of the mountain, several handymen stepped forward to stop it.

    "Get off the sedan chair!"

    Fei Songnian, Mrs. Zhang and his wife quickly got off the sliding pole, and the four house slaves hurriedly supported them.

    Fei Songnian was of a very high seniority, the nephew of Zhengde and Fei Hong, a famous minister of the Jiajing Dynasty.  His body was completely fat into a ball, and he had to pant after two steps, so it was difficult for the bearers to carry him up the mountain.

    However, Mrs. Zhang is very well maintained. She is still in her fifties, and she belongs to Fei Songnian's successor.

    Fei Songnian's main wife gave birth to four daughters in a row, and his concubine also gave birth to three daughters, not even a single one.  On the contrary, it was Mrs. Zhang, who had been married for many years and had not conceived. When Fei Song was about to turn sixty, she suddenlyThe son gave birth to a male.

    "Is the little bastard who hurt my son hiding inside?" Zhang asked.

    Fei Yuanlu's servant said: "The head of the mountain has an order, don't disturb the idlers."

    Mrs. Zhang was furious immediately: "I'm an idler? Even if your mountain chief is in front of you, you still have to call me aunt!"

    The servant did not speak, but let the servants block the door.

    Mrs. Zhang commanded her slaves: "Come here, beat these bastards out!"

    The servants looked around, but no one dared to do anything. This is Hanzhu Academy.

    "What's the use of raising you?"

    Trembling with anger, Mrs. Zhang snatched the stick from the slave's hand and went up to beat the academy servant in person.

    After all, she was the aunt of the head of the mountain, and the handymen did not dare to fight back, so they could only hold their heads on the spot.

    Mrs. Zhang took the opportunity to bypass the handyman and rushed to the principal's office with a stick.

    "Old lady, please come back!" Zhao Han also just arrived not long ago, so he immediately stood up to fill his seat.

    Mrs. Zhang asked, "Which sect and house do you belong to? How dare you block my way!"

    "Goose Lake." Zhao Han said.

    Mrs. Zhang sneered: "The one over at Goose Lake is also my nephew with the highest seniority! Which generation are you from?"

    Zhao Han didn't speak.

    Fei Ruhe thought for a while, then stood beside Zhao Han, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Grandma Grandma."

    The servants of the academy can beat up, but it is inconvenient for Fei's descendants to do it, otherwise the elders will definitely make trouble.

    Mrs. Zhang looked past Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe, and shouted towards the principal's office: "Fei Yuanlu, I am your aunt, hurry up and uphold justice, your younger brother is about to be beaten to death!"

    "Boom out!"

    Fei Yuanlu's angry voice came from inside the house.

    Fei Yuanjian's father, Fei Songnian, seemed to understand a little bit.  He rolled over like a ball, and persuaded his wife: "The doctor has already said that Jian'er was only traumatized, and her hat was not damaged. If you have anything to say, calm down"

    "fart!"

    Mrs. Zhang grabbed her husband by the ear, and shouted like a grandson: "My son bleeds so much that he was almost beaten to death. Please let me calm down? Give me peace of mind!"

    "Madam calm down, madam calm down!"

    Fei Songnian, who was almost eighty years old, turned out to be henpecked.  He was begging for mercy by his ears, and seeing the servants of the academy holding back his laughter, he suddenly felt humiliated, and broke free, saying: "How unreasonable is this, what a disgrace, it's an insult to gentleness!"

    Mrs. Zhang scolded her husband: "You useless old thing, you only know how to play tricks on me, call your nephew out!"

    Fei Songnian had no choice but to call to the principal's office: "Nephew, come out and speak."

    Fei Yuanlu sneered while administering needles in the room: "Uncle really has a manliness, I wonder if he is following Fang Xuanling, or is he pursuing Qi Wuyi?"

    Fei Songnian couldn't speak, his old face flushed with embarrassment.

    Suddenly, Pang Chunlai pushed the door out and closed the door again.  He walked up to Fei Songnian and handed over the soaked "Four Books Annotations": "Can your lord know this book?"

    Fei Songnian cupped his hands and said, "Naturally, this is the Annotations to the Four Books personally approved by Zhu Zi."

    Pang Chunlai said: "I have a student from a poor family, and it is not easy to buy books. He is often bullied by Mr. Ling, and today he was even destroyed by Mr. Ling. Excuse me, does your lord remember "Fei's Family Instructions"?"

    "Rememberremember." Fei Songnian began to sweat on his forehead.

    Pang Chunlai asked: "Does "Fei's Family Instructions" teach children to bully their neighbors and insult their classmates?"

    Fei Songnian was speechless.

    Pang Chunlai asked again: "Is there a book in the "Fei Family Instructions" that teaches children to destroy saints?"

    Zhang suddenly yelled: "You old pedant, don't do this with me. My son"

    "Snapped!"

    Fei Songnian turned around suddenly, slapped his wife, and scolded: "Shut up!"

    Mrs. Zhang was beaten into a daze, and then she burst into tears, and said, "Good day, Fei Songnian, I am a wealthy lady, and I am committed to marry you as a sequel, and I will give birth to you when I am over forty years old."  Son. My son was almost beaten to death today. You didn't seek justice for him, but you beat me instead? Do you have a conscience? Are you a man!"

    Fei Songnian was extremely embarrassed, he was not right and left, so he could only persuade: "Madam, let's go home and talk first."

    "I don't care, I have to vent my anger today!" Mrs. Zhang kept pestering.

    Fei Songnian said in a low voice: "This is Hanzhu Academy, and our Jian'er is wrong again. He destroyed the books of sages and sages, even the ancestral hall ignored him. Listen to me, don't make trouble anymore, there is a time to vent your anger, you are still afraid  Muddy legs from the country?"

    Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt reasonable, but she didn't lose the battle. She pointed to the principal's office and said, "Fei Yuanlu, you are helping outsiders bully the elders. Hmph, you wait, I'll argue with you another day!"

    Seeing these two old fellows leave so simply and neatly, Zhao Han felt very abnormal.

    Zhao Han whispered to Pang Chun: "Sir, they are afraid that they are going to attack Xu Ying's family."

    Pang Chunlai thought for a while and said, "Go to Fei's Ancestral Hall with your help!"Sometimes it's time to vent your anger, are you still afraid of the mud legs in the countryside?  "

    Mrs. Zhang suddenly felt reasonable, but she didn't lose the battle. She pointed to the principal's office and said, "Fei Yuanlu, you are helping outsiders bully the elders. Hmph, you wait, I'll argue with you another day!"

    Seeing these two old fellows leave so simply and neatly, Zhao Han felt very abnormal.

    Zhao Han whispered to Pang Chun: "Sir, they are afraid that they are going to attack Xu Ying's family."

    Pang Chunlai thought for a while and said: "You help me to go to Fei's ancestral hall with my teacher! ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 034【How about I teach you to rebel?  】

    By the bank of Lead Mountain River.

    Leaning on crutches, Pang Chunlai looked at Hanzhu Mountain several miles away, and sighed deeply: "Oh, I didn't expect Fei's family style to be so corrupted."

    With Zhao Han's support, Pang Chunlai first went to the Fei family's ancestral hall to pay homage to the ancestors of the Fei family there.  Then he went to Fei's ancestral house, took out the soaked "Four Books Annotations", and asked to meet the head of the Fei family immediately as a teacher of Hanzhu Academy.

    This is a due procedure, not to mention a hundred years ago, even fifty years ago, the chief of the Fei clan would have personally intervened.

    However, when Pang Chun came on this trip, he didn't even see the housekeeper.

    The servant who greeted the guests invited him in, sat in the small hall and drank tea, asked about the cause of the incident, and said that he was helping to report to the higher authorities.

    The children in the clan destroy the sage books, bully the classmates to the point of insanity, and the parents dare to make a big disturbance in Hanzhu Academy-in the past, they could call the clan elders for a meeting!

    But what about now?

    After Pang Chunlai finished his cup of tea, he was sent out with a gift, and the Fei family didn't even bother to pay attention.

    Pang Chunlai turned his head to look at the confluence of the two rivers, and there was a single archway standing at the mouth of the river.  It's called "Three People's Pavilion". It was established when Fei Hong was the chief assistant. Mrs. Pang sneered, "It's no coincidence that Fei's family in Qianshan Mountain has a weak culture and a bleak official career."

    Zhao Han stood stupidly with Pang Chunlai for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Have you made up your mind, sir?"

    "How do you know?" Pang Chunlai asked back.

    Zhao Han analyzed: "If Mister had no plan, he would have returned to Hanzhu Mountain in a hurry. How could he be so leisurely and sighing by the river? Moreover, he deliberately took the students to stay, maybe this plan needs to be implemented by the students."

    "You are really smart," Pang Chunlai couldn't help admiring, and then said, "I'm still hesitating whether to do that."

    "It seems like a bad idea," Zhao Han said.

    "The best strategy is to persuade the elders of the Fei clan to enforce the Fei clan's rules," Pang Chunlai sighed and shook his head, "It's easy to pretend to enforce the family rules. Who would have thought that the Fei clan didn't even do superficial work!  "

    Zhao Han guessed: "There are too many clans and each has their own property, so it is difficult to get people together. The patriarch's words don't work, and after a long time, he won't bother to care about them."

    Pang Chunlai sat down cross-legged, with his cane across his knees, and asked, "Zhao Han, do you know where your teacher is from?"

    Zhao Han replied: "From the accent, it seems to be from Shandong?"

    "Liaodong." Pang Chunlai looked at the quietly flowing Qianshan River.

    Zhao Han was quite surprised by this: "The hometown of Mr"

    "It was taken over by the Jiannu, and the family is gone," Pang Chunlai seemed to be lost in memory. "There are many generals in Liaodong. As teachers, they can be regarded as the children of generals. The family is ruined, the wife and children are separated, and a scholar is reduced to a refugee.  .In the first year of Tianqi, Lord Yu Yun was ordered to take charge of the three ministries of households, workers, and soldiers"

    "Who is Duke Yun?" Zhao Han couldn't help interrupting.

    Pang Chun said: "My lord, the taboo is in Jin."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Administration of the three ministries, that is, all three ministries belong to him?"

    Pang Chunlai nodded: "I am also the left servant of the three departments."

    Zhao Han was secretly speechless, and there were only two words left in his thoughts: awesome!

    Zhao Han had heard of the name Wang Zaijin, but he really didn't know that this person was actually in charge of three affairs.

    For hundreds of years in the Ming Dynasty, there were those who held power and held both ministries. In the Jiajing Dynasty, Wang Hung served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War at the same time.

    But those are two ministers, and Wang Zaijin is the left servant of three!

    how to say?

    You can understand that the specific affairs of the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War are all handed over to Wang Zaijin.  An old scalper, if he does well, the credit goes to the minister, and if he does not do well, it is his own responsibility.

    At that time, the Donglin Party and the Qichuzhe Party were engaged in a very fierce party struggle, and every position of Zuoshilang was very precious.

    The two parties even temporarily reached a compromise, and let Wang Zaijin be the left servant of the third department, which shows how strong his ability to handle affairs is!

    It was nothing more than the urgent situation of the Liaodong Army, and the others couldn't handle it, and they didn't want to take on that responsibility, so they put all the burden on Wang Zaijin's shoulders.

    Pang Chunlai continued: "Duke Yuyun is a talented person who knows the world. Guangning was defeated, and Duke Yunyun was ordered to conquer Liaodong. That's when I joined Duke Yunyun. I'm a sour scholar with little talent.  Just because I am familiar with the geography of Eastern Liaodong, I have the honor to be the servant of Lord Yu Yun. It's a pity, it's a pity, those who can do things are not as good as those who fight for the party."

    Zhao Han became more and more surprised that the old scholar in front of him was once the staff of Liaodong Economic Strategy.

    Pang Chunlai smiled bitterly and said:

    "I only followed Mr. Yun for four months,.  "

    "Why?" Zhao Han asked puzzled.

    Pang Chun said: "Fei Yuanlu is the eldest son of Fei Yaonian. Although he is just a scholar, he is not low in talent and learning. He is just too addicted to poetry and writing.  Zhu Academy, but has not been able to find an opportunity to do it. Once the scandal spreads, the bigger the mess, the better, he will definitely take the opportunity to take control of the academy."

    "Isn't he in charge of the academy?" Zhao Han asked.

    Pang Chunlai shook his head: "Hanzhu Academy is like a country. Fei Yuanlu, the head of the mountain, is just a high-ranking emperor. The various clans are local wealthy families, and their slaves have already controlled various affairs of the academy. Even Hanzhu Academy  After Fei Yaonian's death, all the school fields were robbed due to uneven family division. Hanzhu Academy has no money now, and only a few hundred acres of school land are left. The academy needs to collect money from various schools. Fei Yuanlu must take the opportunity to get back the school land  , he can truly control the academy!"

    I am Nima!

    Zhao Han was completely convinced. A campus bullying incident, where politics and military tactics were used, did it need to be so thrilling?

    Zhao Han asked the last question: "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me, why should I take a huge risk to help you do this kind of thing?"

    Pang Chunlai asked back: "Why are you so talented and funded by Fei Yinghuan, but you ignore your fame in the imperial examination and don't want to study classics with me? Why do you practice martial arts every day? Why do you pay attention to political affairs in the Tang newspaper? A little  Child, what do you want to do with such a scheming heart?"

    "Students are just playful." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    "I believe Fei Ruhe is fun, but I absolutely don't believe you are fun," Pang Chunlai asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Even if you plan to rebel in the future, I will help you as a teacher."

    Zhao Han quickly denied: "Mr. is overthinking, why should I rebel if I have nothing to do?"

    Pang Chunlai sneered and said: "You can rebel. If I were twenty years younger, I would also plan to rebel. Really, rebellion is more promising than the imperial examination. Even if you don't have this idea, I advise you to try it in the future."

    "Why did you say that, sir?" Zhao Han asked.

    Pang Chunlai was obviously trying to lure children and instilled the idea of ??rebellion in Zhao Han: "People in the pass don't know, but I know in Liaodong that this Ming Dynasty may not have much time. Taxes are increasing day by day, and military resources are increasing sharply.  Raising taxes is like drinking poison to quench your thirst. If the new emperor is wise, there may be a turning point, but I have read the Tang newspapers for nearly a year, and the current emperor is just an irresponsible little clever."

    Zhao Han said: "Today's Holy Majesty, wisely eradicates the eunuchs, and all the people praise him for his wisdom and martial arts."

    "He's so wise and powerful," Pang Chunlai sneered, "He's a dead eunuch. He hesitated, twitched, and concealed everything he said, and there were so many problems! In the end, it wasn't  It can be done in one sentence? He has been on the throne for one year, and he has changed three chief assistants. It is also an act of chaos. In terms of political responsibility, he is not even as good as Wanli!"

    The fourth chief assistant will be replaced soon

    Pang Chun said: "Even the people in the south of the Yangtze River are overwhelmed by the Liao pay. Can the bitter cold in the northwest bear it? Within ten years, there will be great chaos in the world, or Zhangjiao and Huangchao will happen!"

    ?By the way, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the additional payment of three rates was not just for the north, but was shared equally across the country according to the land area.

    However, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is fertile and the population is large, so they can live on evenly.

    The Northwest is no good, it simply forces the people to rebel.

    Pang Chunlai smiled and said, "My dear, how about I teach you how to rebel?"

    Zhao Han thought to himself, do you still need to teach me this?  The high school political textbook is dragon slaying.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 035 [It's not something that spreads all over Jiangxi]

    Pang Chunlai lives at the foot of Hanzhu Mountain, where there are several dilapidated thatched huts, which I heard he hired someone to build at his own expense.

    Meals are settled in the private school, and other things are done by myself, without even hiring a servant.

    ?Presumably, I didn’t take a bath very much, because I was too lazy to boil water, and there were no firewood sellers in the countryside, so I had to pick up firewood for boiling water by myself.

    Back in the hut, Zhao Han helped study ink, and Pang Chunlai began to write lace stories.

    Zhao Han saw that he couldn't see clearly no matter how far or near he was, and he looked like presbyopia or nearsightedness, so he couldn't help asking: "When did you get this eye disease, sir?"

    Pang Chunlai's eyes were almost glued to the paper, and he wrote in a strange posture, mocking himself: "In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, I went with the army to kill Tartars. One Tartar was not killed, and he was almost captured as a pawn."  The servant fell off a cliff while running away, and his eye was scratched by a branch. The left eye is almost blind, and the right eye can only see near objects."

    Zhao Han was silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

    Pang Chunlai suddenly raised his head and asked with a smile, "How do you guess it is Shi Nian Geng?"

    "Sixty years old?" Zhao Han guessed.

    Pang Chunlai laughed: "Forty-five years old."

    This is forty-five years old?

    No one doubts you when you say you are seventy years old.

    Fei Yinghuan is also in his early forties. He looks like he has just passed his thirties, but he is the same age as Master Pang!

    Pang Chunlai's hair is gray now, and the hair is more white and less black.  The whole family died and he was the only one left, only his right eye could see, and he didn't know what other crimes he had suffered. No wonder he would instigate and induce children to rebel.

    He doesn't have the capital to rebel, and he can't fool adults, so he can only slowly train children. I'm afraid Xu Ying is also in the anti-thief training plan.

    This guy hates both the Tartars and the Ming court!

    Not long after, Pang Chunlai wrote an article similar to a popular novel, trying to make it understandable to those who have read the book for a few years.

    Zhao Han immersed himself in the reading, then looked at Pang Chunlai, and thought: I was born at the wrong time!  If you were born hundreds of years later, you must be a big blogger from the media.

    People say that the content of a picture at the beginning is all edited, and Master Pang doesn't even have a picture.

    Coming up is ethics!

    Alluding to Zhang's forty-year-old childlessness, he hooked up with his grandnephew and prepared an ancient birthday gift for her husband in advance.

    As for who is the grandnephew?

    Anyway, the Zhang family is of great seniority, and the Fei family has a thriving population. Once there are a lot of nephews and grandchildren, readers can guess vigorously.

    Aunt and grandnephew have a child together. The plot is too exciting and exciting. It is far more topical than hooking up with a domestic slave. It is guaranteed to spread quickly in a few days.

    Pang Chun said: "Copy a few copies for me with your left hand."

    It is not bad to write brush characters with the right hand, but Zhao Han can write with his left hand, which is purely to catch the ducks on the shelves.

    After only writing a few words, Pang Chunlai frowned and said, "Stop writing, go and call Fei Ruhe."

    Zhao Han was amnesty, put down his brush, and ran to the private school to find Fei Ruhe.

    Confused, Fei Ruhe came here with the book boy Fei Chun.  He stood by the side, subconsciously looking at the paper, and the peachy article suddenly made his expression strange.

    Pang Chunlai had already copied six or seven copies, and said to Fei Ruhe, "You two, master and servant, post this in conspicuous places in Hanzhu Academy and private schools."

    Fei Ruhe is not stupid, he laughed and said: "Master, you should find someone else, if my father finds out, he will definitely beat me to death."

    "Your father won't beat you," Pang Chun said, "although your family is a branch of the main clan, it is far away from the Ehu Lake, and there is not much property here at the mouth of the river, and there are not many people in Hanzhu Mountain.  If this happens, it will benefit your family. It happens that your father is on the mountain and is the only one of this generation, so the head of the mountain must be the first to consult with him and work together to rectify the style of study in Hanzhu Academy."

    "I won't do it." Fei Ruhe still shook his head.

    Pang Chunlai began to seduce the children again: "You practice martial arts every day, but you want to be a general when you grow up?"

    Fei Ruhe held his head high and said, "I want to be a hero?"

    "What?" Pang Chunlai thought he heard it wrong.

    "I want to be a great hero, do justice for the heavens, rob the rich and help the poor!" Fei Ruhe expressed his lofty ambitions.

    Pang Chunlai couldn't help complaining: "Then you have to rob the Fei family first, and the Fei family is the richest in Qianshan County. There is no need to rob. When you are in charge in the future, all the land and shops of the Fei family in Ehu will be divided among them.  The poor people in the village are the real heroes! They only rob others, but not themselves, even hypocrites, what kind of heroes are they?"

    It made sense, but Fei Ruhe couldn't refute it, and muttered: "If you can't be a hero, you can be a general."It's done.  "

    Pang Chunlai was proficient and seductive: "To be a general, you can't just practice martial arts. Blindly charging into the battle, you are like a man!"

    Fei Ruhe asked: "Then what else do you need to practice?"

    "The Art of War!" Pang Chunlai said.

    Fei Ruhe's head suddenly became dizzy: "I also read "The Art of War by Sun Tzu", and I would fall asleep if I couldn't finish one article. And what about the formation diagram, it makes people's eyelids twitch."

    Pang Chunlai sneered: "The art of war is more than these? Do you know how to camp? Do you know how to coordinate food and grass? Do you know how to train troops?"

    "I don't know." Fei Ruhe shook his head and said.

    Pang Chunlai stroked his beard and said with a thief smile: "I know how to teach you as a teacher."

    Fei Ruhe didn't believe it: "Stop coaxing me, you old master can do this?"

    Pang Chunlai patted the table and said: "I am the son of a general in Liaodong. I have fought countless battles with the Tartars. Do I know about those things?"

    Fei Ruhe often heard his fourth uncle talk about the battle in Liaodong, and said with disdain: "If you Liaodong generals are good, you won't be beaten like that by the Tartars."

    "It's none of my business. No matter how good my strategy is, those bastards must be willing to listen! Even if they listen, they have to follow suit. The whole **** betrayed their allies and ran away!" Pang Chunlai was really angry.  , "I have the art of war in my chest, so I ask you if you want to learn it?"

    Fei Ruhe tilted his head and thought for a while, then tentatively said: "Can I try to learn it? If I can't learn it, I'll go to practice martial arts as a hero."

    "Yes," Pang Chunlai took a self-media article, "Take it and post it all over the academy, and spread it quietly at night, so don't be caught by someone."

    Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun picked it up and ran away, somewhat agitated in their hearts, it is always so good to do bad things quietly.

    Pang Chunlai continued to copy, copied more than ten copies, threw it to Zhao Han and said, "Take it and paste it in Henglin and Hekou."

    Fei's Henglin ancestral home is several miles away from Hekou Town, Zhao Han would have to run back and forth at least one night.  Therefore, Fei Ruhe's master and servant should be recruited and let them take charge of Hanzhu Academy. With a small number of people, it is impossible to keep busy.

    Zhao Han first went to Henglin Fei's ancestral house, trotted for five miles, stuck out his tongue out of exhaustion.

    There were no people in the dark, and no one could be seen, but there were a few dogs barking from time to time.

    A lantern was lit at the gate of Fei's ancestral house. Zhao Han first hid in the dark, spread it evenly with rice paste, and then rushed over to stick it on the gate.  After posting, he ran away, turned around and ran to the side door, posted one on each side door, and then went to post Fei's ancestral hall.

    After some action, it was already midnight.

    The cold wind blew across the surface of the Xinjiang River, making Zhao Han shiver. He ran along the Xinjiang River and finally arrived at Hekou Town.

    The market here is prosperous, even at night, there are cargo ships loading and unloading.

    After crossing the bridge and coming to the entrance of the town, Zhao Han didn't dare to hesitate any longer, for fear of being remembered.  He went to the "Three People's Pavilion" and pasted all the remaining big-character posters on the pillars of the archway.

    Poor Fei Hong I's fame, as the youngest number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, was insulted like this after his death.  The memorial archway dedicated to commemorating his appointment as chief assistant was densely pasted with erotic articles about his nephew and daughter-in-law hooking up with younger clansmen

    Not very harmful, but extremely insulting!

    The sun is gradually rising, the river is full of steam, and the big-character posters on the pillars of the archway are soaked in the dew at night.

    ? This archway stands alone at the mouth of the river. It belongs to the place with the largest flow of people in Qianshan County. There are many business travelers from south to north, including many merchants from Huguang, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong.

    It's not something that spread to most of Jiangxi, but spread throughout Jiangnan!

    In the middle of the morning, there was finally an out-of-town businessman wandering around while the man was loading the ship.  He came to pay homage to the "Three People's Pavilion", but found a lot of papers pasted on the pillars of the archway. When he went over to take a look, he was stunned—good guy!

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 036【Cerebral Hemorrhage】

    As early as the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Jiangxi was Xiwozi.

    Zhou Deqing, a native of Jiangxi, formulated "Central Plains Rhyme" independently, ending the chaos in the creation of Yuan songs, and is known as the "ancestor of music rhymes".

    Wei Liangfu, a native of Jiangxi, absorbed the tunes of local operas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, improved the singing method of Kunshan tune, and created a new style of singing, known as "the originator of Kunqu opera".

    Tang Xianzu, a Jiangxi native, is a master of opera for a generation, so there is no need to go into details.

    Fei Songnian has two major hobbies in his life: one is food and the other is opera.

    Nearly eighty years old, his body is as fat as a ball, and he has nothing else to enjoy. He just listens to operas every day when he is full.

    "Several curved screens and mountain exhibitions, with broken eyebrows and deep blacks. Why can't I keep turning softly in the quilt"

    Fei Songnian was lying on a chair for half a year, tapping his fat belly with his fingers, and singing along with the dan roles on the stage.

    Singing and singing, a little dry mouth, lightly raised a finger, and the house slave immediately stuffed the teapot over.

    Moisten his throat, Fei Songnian continued to shake his head.

    "My lord, my lord, it's not good!" A house slave ran to him in panic.

    Fei Songnian frowned and said, "Is the ancestral house on fire? Why do you dare to disturb the master to listen to the opera? Stand obediently, it's a big deal, wait until I finish listening to the trick!"

    The house slave waited anxiously, but he couldn't hold back anyway. He unfolded the big-character poster and held it up in front of Fei Songnian: "Master, let's take a look first."

    Fei Songnian glanced curiously, his eyes widened suddenly, he struggled to sit up, grabbed it in his hand and carefully

    As I was reading, I suddenly felt my blood surge, and I almost fainted.

    He had a son in his sixties, so he was already skeptical.  However, as his son got older, he became more and more like himself when he was a child, so he was completely at ease.

    And proud of it, boasting that the sword is not old!

    But this big-character poster said that his wife, Mrs. Zhang, seduced her nephew and grandson.  If it is really a nephew's seed, it seems normal to look like him, after all, Fei's descendants come from the same lineage.

    Fei Songnian trembled all over, and asked, "Where did this thing come from!"

    The house slave replied: "Stick it on the pillar of the three-person pavilion."

    Three-person Pavilion!

    Three-person Pavilion!

    That's the archway specially built in the busiest area by Fei's to show his prestige, announcing that the family has left the chief assistant!

    In the entire Qianshan County, there are the most people.

    The article about my wife seducing my nephew and grandson was actually posted in the Three People's Pavilion. Didn't it have been seen by merchants from several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River?

    "Boom!"

    Fei Songnian fell down suddenly, rolled from the chair to the ground, his ears and nose were bleeding, and his pupils gradually became dilated.

    "Master!"

    "Master, what's the matter with you?"

    "Hurry up and call the doctor, the master has passed out!"

    It is not easy for a fat man who is nearly eighty years old to live to this age. At this moment, his high blood pressure directly caused a cerebral hemorrhage.

    Before the doctor was called, Fei Songnian had died.

    Whether it was Zhao Han or Pang Chunlai, they never thought that they would kill people on the spot.

    "Master, master, how can I live if you are dead!"

    Mrs. Zhang rushed over after hearing the news, and lay there crying, with Fei Yuanjian, the bully of the private school, standing behind him.

    On the contrary, Fei Yuanjian didn't feel much grief. He and his father were very different in age, and he was brought up by a wet nurse since he was a child.  Moreover, the father spends all day in the theater troupe, and the father and son have little time to eat together.

    Fei Yuanjian scanned the crowd subconsciously, and found that the house slaves around him were all looking at him with strange eyes.

    Yes, I should cry, otherwise I would be disobedient.

    "Dad, dad" Fei Yuanjian rushed over and cried loudly, but unfortunately his acting skills were so poor that not only could he not squeeze tears at all, but even his expression of grief was very stiff.

    Suddenly, Mrs. Zhang stood up and pointed to the stage: "It's all these lowly sons who sing operas, sing operas, and only know how to sing operas all day long. They have seduced the old man's soul, and now they have even seduced his life. Someone is here, take them from here."  I will search for all the money cheated from the master, and then send them out!"

    Fei Songnian had a total of eight concubines in his life, and seven of them were actors. The Zhang family had endured it for decades.

    Fei Songnian is usually very kind to the actors, and the whole troupe regards him as a relative and elder. At this moment, many actors are crying around.

    They were crying sincerely, both for Fei Songnian's unexpected death, and for themselves not being able to find such a good host in the future.

    However, Mrs. Zhang's words made all the mummers dumbfounded. How could there be a way to search for rewards in the past?

    The house slaves are dispatched immediately.Chen.  "

    Fei Yuanlu handed over the big-character poster: "Let's take a look at the United States and China."

    Fei Yinghuan was drowsy at first, but after reading two paragraphs, he was immediately refreshed, and he couldn't help but praise: "Good literary talent! It seems to be simple and straightforward, but it's a novelist's samadhi. Just a few words can make people think."

    Is this a matter of literary talent?

    Fei Yuanlu could hear black lines on his forehead.

    Fei Yuanlu wanted to kick such a nonchalant junior.  He suppressed his anger and told Wei Jianxiong, "Go out first and close the door."

    Wei Jianxiong led the door out, and there were only two people left in the room.

    Fei Yuanlu said: "This ridiculous rumor has probably spread throughout Hekou Town."

    Even with Fei Yinghuan's character, she couldn't help being dumbfounded, and exclaimed: "Fei's name, I'm afraid it will resound throughout the south of the Yangtze River!"

    "What resounds in the south of the Yangtze River? After all, you are the only one in the Yingzi generation. Can you be more serious with your words!" Fei Yuanlu felt very tired.

    Sitting by the bed, Fei Yinghuan slowly put on his shoes, and said with a smile: "My nephew can stop the spread of rumors by being more serious? Fei, Fei, is there still a lot of scandals? I think it's okay if there's a commotion, I can take this opportunity  Clean it up."

    Fei Yuanlu showed a look of approval: "Although Meizhong has a frivolous personality, she is worthy of being the flying horse of my Fei family, and what she thinks is exactly what I want."

    "Uncle, please speak clearly." Fei Yinghuan was still putting on his shoes slowly.

    Fei Yuanlu said: "If you want to rectify Fei's family style, you should start by rectifying Hanzhu Academy. If you want to rectify Hanzhu Academy, you should take back the school fields and property that have been invaded by various branches. Looking at the rich and powerful families in the world, how can they occupy  My own school? It’s shameless! Would you like to help me?”

    Fei Yinghuan smiled and said, "My nephew is used to being laid back, so I'm afraid I won't be able to help you much."

    "Meizhongke can be the deputy head of Hanzhu Academy." Fei Yuanlu immediately offered the price.

    Fei Yinghuan wept bitterly: "Uncle, my nephew really doesn't want to worry about it. There are too many messes in the clan. Once it gets involved, don't even try to be clean in the future."

    Fei Yuanlu said: "My old uncle (Fei Songnian) has lost all Fei's face this time, so he has to give an explanation to the family. He has a good shop in Hekou. I wonder if he likes it?"

    "Don't talk too much, uncle, is my nephew like that?"

    Fei Yinghuan looked angry, and then he was obliged to say: "Since uncle wants to rectify the family style, nephew must help him! ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 037【Shameless】

    Xu Ying's house, in a dilapidated hall.

    The whole family was there, frowning, blankly waiting for the end of the world.

    Yesterday morning, the evil slave of the Fei family came once.

    Say that Xu Ying broke Young Master Fei and asked to pay ten taels of silver for soup and medicine.  The rent owed in previous years was also settled, plus the rolling interest, a total of four taels of silver, two cents and six per cent.

    The family saved money on food and expenses, and finally raised a few chickens, which were ready to lay eggs. They were all taken away by evil slaves to pay off their debts.

    Even, the food in the family was taken away, leaving them without rice to cook in the future.

    When the evil slaves left, they said: "My lord is benevolent and righteous, and I allow you to default on the land rent. Even if the young master is broken, I won't force you to a dead end. Where can I find such a benevolent master on the whole lead mountain? It counts as your eight lifetimes."  Accumulate virtue. The master said, I will give you one more day to make up the remaining money. If not, then prepare the land deed to transfer. Our master is really kind, as long as the bones of the field are left, the skin of the field will remain  For your home. From now on, you must remember Master Ende!"

    The whole family cried loudly.

    According to the classification standard of New China, the Xu family was once rich, and can be rated as a "rich middle peasant": they have their own land, and their life is quite affluent, but they cannot afford to hire long-term and short-term workers.

    But ten years ago, there was a catastrophe in Qianshan Mountain, and drought locusts arrived.

    Xu Ying's grandfather and grandmother starved to death one after another, and the three fathers and brothers took the whole family to flee famine to survive.

    On the way to flee famine, Xu Ying's eldest brother, eldest sister, and cousin died of starvation, and the cousin was sold to the toothmaid for food.  Xu Ying's second uncle also starved to death, and her aunt remarried later.  The third uncle, who is not yet married, went into the mountains and became a bandit, and there is no news of him so far.

    Fortunately, he met a good official, Da Jiliang, the magistrate of the county, took office, set up a stele of cabbage, distributed porridge and food, and provided relief with work. Xu Ying's family finally survived.

    After returning to his hometown, he can only borrow usury to cultivate the land.

    Rolling interest, even the interest can't be repaid, and most of the land property has been taken away one after another.

    All of a sudden, he changed from a "rich middle peasant" to a "lower-middle peasant" who earns a living by half-farming and half-tenancy, and has to do part-time labor.

    Now that this kind of thing happens again, it seems that the only remaining land will be gone, and the end waiting for them is to become "poor peasants"

    "You shouldn't let your third son study. If you farm honestly, you won't get into trouble" Father Xu had bruises on his face. He was beaten yesterday, and he muttered a few words over and over again.

    Xu's mother shed tears silently: "I have to think about it, what if I get admitted to a scholar."

    Xu's father did not dare to rebel against the evil slave, so he could only blame his wife: "The scholar failed the exam, and caused a catastrophe. The money for the third son to buy books and pens is better than marrying Haowa and begging for a wife!"

    Haowa is Xu Ying's cousin Xu Hao.

    When the second aunt remarried, it was inconvenient to carry a tow bottle, so she adopted to feed Xu's father. This year she is twenty years old and has not married yet.

    Xu Hao is honest and has a dull personality. He said: "The third brother has been smart since he was a child, so he should go to school. If he becomes a scholar, our family will not have to go to the military. I can get married a few years later."

    Mother Xu said in a low voice: "How about going to Xun Zhenniang and Young Master for help?"

    Zhenniang is Xu Ying's older sister, Xu Zhen, who married an ordinary farmer in a neighboring village.

    Father Xu shook his head and said, "What can Niang Zhen do to help? She is not yet confinement, so don't let her know about it."

    The whole family fell silent again.

    Only Xu Ying's younger brother, Xu Mao, a three-year-old kid, is still playing with his nose full of snot, not understanding that the sky at home is about to collapse.

    Waiting left and right, Father Xu came out of the main room, squatted at the door with his sleeves rolled up, and watched the evil slave of the Fei family from afar.

    Has never appeared, like the executioner's knife, always held up and not cut down.

    The evil slave didn't come, but three schoolchildren waited.

    Fei Ruhe is wearing a luxurious silk robe, and he can be seen as the young master of a rich family at a glance.

    Father Xu was ashamed of his appearance and dared not look directly at him, so he buried his head in greeting and said, "Young master is well!"

    No matter which family's young master it is, it's always right to greet first anyway.

    However, Xu's mother recognized them and knew that they were her son's classmates, so she hurried back to the house to pour water: "Young masters, please drink water."

    Along the way, Fei Ruhe was indeed thirsty, so he took the clay bowl and poured it.  He was looking for an opportunity to come out to play, and he was too lazy to care about this kind of nonsense, so he said to Zhao Han, "Let's talk about it."

    Zhao Han put down the bowl, cupped his hands and said, "I've seen uncle and aunt."

    Father Xu got up quickly, nodded and bowed, and said in fear: "Don't dare, don't dare, young master, don't want to shorten the life of our farmer."

    "Master, you are being polite." Mother Xu said a blessing.

    Xu's mother has seen the world, she worked as a maid in Fei's family when she was young.  Because he intended to seduce the master, he was kicked out by the mistress.  First betrothed to a lame old widower, to beAfter her husband died of illness, she remarried to Xu Ying's father.

    After Xu's mother saluted, she hurriedly asked: "Yingwa Is my Xu Ying okay? He hasn't been home for two days."

    Zhao Han didn't tell the truth, but smiled and comforted him: "Xu Ying is fine, the head of the mountain pities him for being smart, and he will live in the academy from now on."

    "That's good, that's good." Mother Xu finally felt relieved.

    Although Xu's father complained that he should not send his son to study, he only talked about it verbally, and still hoped that his son would be successful.

    Even faced with the oppression of evil slaves, the only land that was about to be confiscated, the whole family dared not let their son know, so as not to affect his son's mood to study.  They didn't go to Hanzhu Mountain either, thinking that it would be better for their son to hide in the academy than to be bullied at home.

    Zhao Han said again: "Uncle, Aunt, the rent and interest owed by the Xu family will never be repaid in the future."

    "Really?" The Xu family couldn't believe it.

    Zhao Han explained: "Grandpa Fei has died of illness, and they have no time to press for the rent. There may be major changes in the future. The acres you rented will also be confiscated as school fields in the future. The head of the mountain promised to give you a few more acres."

    Father Xu knelt down with a thud, and said frantically with his forehead: "Thank you, Shanzhang, thank you, thank you, young master. From now on, we will be like cows and horses, and we will repay your kindness. Thank you, thank you"

    Others kowtowed and knelt down on the ground.

    Even three-year-olds are kneeling and seem to find it particularly amusing.

    Seeing that all the Xu family men were injured, Zhao Han must have robbed his family as well.  He didn't stop the other party from kowtowing, but left a piece of silver and asked Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun to leave silently.

    The Xu family kowtowed for a long time, only to find that the three young masters had all left, and there were still broken silver on the ground.

    Father Xu burst into tears, wiped his tears and said: "Good people, they are all good people, I met a good person today!"

    Fei's involution has lasted for twenty or thirty years.

    The main reason is that there are too many sects that have been separated, and it is impossible to twist them into a single rope, and the nearby land and business have been almost occupied by the Fei family.

    If you want to continue to expand, you have to attack the same race!

    When the news of Fei Songnian's death from anger came out, the nearby tribesmen took the lead.

    Zhao Han has already witnessed several good scenes on the way back and forth.

    "Don't move, this is my master's field!"

    "Your lord? Your lord is so mad. Your wife has done a good job, and she has disgraced us, Fei!"

    "If you dare to pick Tian Ji again, we will do it!"

    "You still do it? Copy guys and kill them!"

    ""

    The two groups of domestic slaves fought at the edge of the field. Tian Ji, who belonged to Fei Songnian's family, was stripped off by his clansmen and moved more than ten feet away.

    Just grab it hard, it's completely shameless.

    After Fei Songnian's death, only orphans and widows are left. Several daughters have already been married off, so when will we wait if we don't grab them now?

    Not only that, nephews and grandnephews who are closer to Fei Songnian also came to collect debts.  He said that the old man (Fei Songnian's father) had an uneven family division, that a certain shop should belong to me, and a certain house should belong to him. He also said that Fei Songnian took over the calligraphy and paintings of celebrities left by the old man.

    Wearing mourning clothes, Mrs. Zhang took her son to the ancestral house to cry, but unfortunately the patriarch fell ill.

    Ever since, Mrs. Zhang sent someone back to her natal family for help. Her brothers were filled with righteous indignation and led hundreds of slaves to come to seek justice.

    This move aroused the Fei family's public indignation: how can outsiders be allowed to interfere in the internal affairs of the Fei family?  Is the Zhang family trying to snatch the property of the Fei family?

    The two clans were in a quarrel, and they had already decided to file a lawsuit, which made Feng Xun, the county magistrate, very anxious.

    ?As a county magistrate, if you encounter a family property lawsuit, you can eat the first family and then the next family.

    But it also depends on who the sufferer is, Fei's and Zhang's, Feng Zhixian dare not eat any of them, so Feng Zhixian also fell ill.

    The two clans fought with weapons, resulting in several deaths.

    The Fei family had a lot of people, but the Zhang family couldn't beat them, so they sent people directly to Nanchang to hand over the certificate to the inspector censor.

    The inspector censor came over quickly, asked for a card, turned around and disappeared, saying that he was going to Weifu to investigate the case.

    Hanzhu Academy.

    Hu Mengtai sneered: "Brother Dazhao, Fei's family style really opened my eyes."

    Fei Yinghuan was actually able to laugh: "Come on, let them make trouble, it's already rotten anyway, so just take off your clothes for outsiders to see clearly."

    Hu Mengtai was stunned and speechless.

    Fei Yinghuan shook his head and sighed: "Let's go, go to Brother Zhan to study. I figured it out, Fei is hopeless, I just want to see if I can pass the Jinshi exam and jump out. Retreat, study hard, three  After the next year, I will go to Beijing for a test, and if I fail the exam, I will donate an official to be a county magistrate."

    Fei Yinghuan and Hu Mengtai went to Zhan Zhaoheng to study art together.

    The three of them aspired to the imperial examination, and they competed with each other in normal times, and their lives were very fulfilling.

    Especially Zhan Zhaoheng, although he is only fifteen years old and has not even won the exam, the stereotyped essay can crush Fei Yinghuan and Hu Mengtai.

    The Jiangxi Township Examination is difficult in hell, but for Zhan Zhaoheng, it is like getting something out of a bag.  If he wins the examination in two years, Chongzhen will be able to enter the Beijing examination in four years, and maybe he will be admitted to the Jinshi first.

    The three of them encouraged each other without asking about complicated matters.

    As for helping to rectify the academy, Fei Yinghuan only needs to come out to express his position at critical moments as an only child, and he can easily pick up a shop in Hekou Town.Shi is hopeless, and I just need to see if I can pass the Jinshi exam and jump out.  Retreat, study hard, and go to Beijing for an exam three years later. If you fail the exam, you will donate an official to become a county magistrate.  "

    Fei Songnian's body was rushed out and buried.

    Mrs. Zhang can't stop her even if she wants to. If she dares to stop her, she will be charged with another crime: vicious heart, not letting her husband rest in peace!

    Two days after the burial, Fei Songnian's two nephews and eleven grandnephews came to the house to argue with Mrs. Zhang for no reason.

    "Auntie, yesterday when I was sorting out the old house, I came across a copy of my grandfather's will. The contents of this will are quite different from those when the family was separated. Please have a look at it."

    The speaker is Fei Songnian's fourth nephew, who is sixty-three years old this year.

    As for the first three nephews, they had long since died of old age and illness.

    Mrs. Zhang was furious and didn't even read the content, so she sneered and said, "If you want to forge a will, at least you have to hire a craftsman to make it old. The old man has passed away for forty-three years, why is his will still new? It's in my hut  The toilet paper is more like left by the old man than this!"

    The fourth nephew brazenly said: "It hasn't seen the light of day yet, and the will is well preserved, so don't think about it too much, my aunt."

    "Dare to ask my aunt (grandmother) to have a look!"

    A bunch of nephews and nephews shouted together, if Mrs. Zhang didn't cooperate, they would completely tear their faces apart.

    Mrs. Zhang suppressed her anger, opened the so-called will, and suddenly trembled with anger.

    The gang of bastards in front of her only left her mother and son with a few acres of poor land, and they even wanted to occupy the house they lived in now.

    This is to kill them all!

    But Mrs. Zhang couldn't resist at all, and the crime of stealing and raping her nephew was too great.  If you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, but you can't hide from the fifteenth day, there will never be peace if you make trouble, and even your son may not be able to enter the ancestral hall.

    Historically, how did Liu Ru die?

    Even before Qian Qianyi was buried, the tribe came to "collect debts" and put on a mourning hall dance.

    For two months, not only did they come every day, but there were rumors about Liu Rushi's "adultery" everywhere.

    In order to keep the property, Liu Rushi made a will and then hanged himself.

    She wanted to show her ambition by death, and also wanted to scare off the Qian clan.

    However, death is useless, the family property will still be divided up.  Even Liu Rushi's tomb was expelled from the Qian family's cemetery and became a lonely grave at the foot of Yushan Mountain.

    So what if Mrs. Zhang is the continuation of Ming Media's marriage?

    The same goes for Liu Rushi!

    So what if Mrs. Zhang gave birth to a son for her husband?

    It is doubtful whether it is biological!

    "Come back tomorrow, let me think about it again." Mrs. Zhang couldn't stand up anymore, and even lost the spirit of quarreling.

    "Then auntie is good to think about it, don't delay, the younger generation will come back tomorrow."

    The nephews and grandnephews finally left.

    Mrs. Zhang sat where she was, without moving for a long time, feeling disheartened.

    After weeping for a while, she summoned her dowry maid. The maid went for a long time but reported that no one could be found.

    Not only the dowry maid herself could not be found, but her whole family disappeared without a trace.

    Mrs. Zhang smiled wryly, and said to herself dejectedly: "Today I finally understand what it means to scatter the monkeys when a tree falls, and what it means to push a wall when everyone pushes it down."

    After sitting for a while, Mrs. Zhang suddenly got up and went to a side courtyard.

    "Boom, boom, boom!" Knock on the courtyard door.

    A middle-aged maid opened the door and silently let Mrs. Zhang in.

    There is a small Buddhist hall in the side courtyard, the sound of wooden fish can be faintly heard, and Fei Songnian's last concubine, Mrs. Chen, is inside.

    After her husband died, Mrs. Zhang expelled all the concubines, leaving only Mrs. Chen untouched.

    Stepping into the Buddhist hall, Mrs. Zhang closed the doors and windows, and begged: "Sister, please help me with an idea."

    Mrs. Chen still knocked on the wooden fish non-stop: "I have no idea. I told my sister not to disturb her family, but my sister refused to listen, and caused a few deaths. Now the situation is irreparable."

    Mrs. Zhang suddenly knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Sister, it was my sister who did something wrong in the past, so please save my mother and child's lives this time!"

    Finally, Mrs. Chen slowly put down the small hammer and inserted it horizontally into the wooden fish: "I'm not that capable, I can only save brother Jian, I'm afraid I won't be able to save sister."

    "If you can save brother Jian, that's all." Mrs. Zhang hastily grabbed at the straw, "my sister, come up with a plan, otherwise those gangsters will drive brother Jian out of Fei's house sooner or later!"

    Mrs. Chen said neither in a hurry nor in a hurry: "There is only one way to save brother Jian, and my sister should die."

    "What?"

    Mrs. Zhang jumped up suddenly, and finally flared up again, pointing at Mrs. Chen and yelling: "You poisonous woman, are you looking for an opportunity to take revenge on your past grudges? At this point, you still have to plan. Even if I steal a man, I am married to the Fei family's official matchmaker."  continuedHowever, would she be willing to die?  "

    "That's true."

    "I came to the ancestral hall again today to return the blood letter to my innocence. I'm afraid I want to do a play."

    "Hmph, Fei's face has been completely lost by her, and no one believes her after singing in the ancestral hall for three days!"

    ""

    Mrs. Zhang took a few steps back, turned around and sneered at the clansmen, then suddenly sped up and sprinted into the brick wall next to the gate of the ancestral hall.

    Blood gushed out and fell to the ground.

    Everyone was shocked, they came forward to watch, but no one went to ask the doctor for emergency treatment, they were all afraid of getting involved with her for no reason.

    Hanzhu Academy, Shanchang Room.

    Mrs. Chen took out the letter: "Please read it over."

    There are roughly three contents of the letter:

    First, Mrs. Zhang is innocent and has not committed adultery.

    Second, Mr. Zhang has sorted out the list of the properties left by Fei Songnian.  Fifty percent was donated to the academy for educational purposes, the third was handed over to Fei Yuanlu for disposal, and only 20% was left for her son.

    Third, please ask Fei Yuanlu to uphold justice and protect her son from growing up.

    After reading the letter, Fei Yuanlu said in horror: "Why is this, auntie is confused, follow me to the ancestral hall quickly!"

    When Fei Yuanlu arrived, Mrs. Zhang had lost too much blood and died.

    Fei Yuanlu ordered people to collect his body, took the letter to the patriarch, and then held a patriarchal meeting.

    ?The meeting lasted for several days, and the various sects quarreled endlessly.

    One day, Chuichuidada suddenly wanted to set up a memorial archway for Mrs. Zhang.

    On the lintel of the archway, Feng Zhixian personally wrote "Chaste Martyr".

    The stone pillars on both sides are couplets made by Fei Yinghuan, a single Miao Juren.

    Fei's reputation has been preserved, and the family has added an archway for martyrs.

    Hanzhu Academy benefited, and 50% of the property left by Fei Songnian became the academic property under the name of the Academy.

    Several major clan branches also benefited, and 30% of the industry was allocated to each.

    Fei Yuanjian will not be expelled by the family, and he can keep 20% of the family property, just because his mother proved innocent by death

    At the foot of Hanzhu Mountain, inside a thatched cottage.

    Zhao Han was a little puzzled, and asked, "Sir, did we do something wrong? One person was so angry and another was forced to death."

    "What do you think?" Pang Chunlai asked back.

    Zhao Han thought carefully: "Wrong and right are not the key to the matter, but we can only do this because we are also forced."

    Pang Chunlai exclaimed: "Your answer is beyond my expectations as a teacher, and you have jumped out of right and wrong. Those who do great things should do so." Then, Pang Chunlai warned, "It doesn't matter whether you do things right or wrong, but remember to be benevolent and righteous.  If there is no benevolence, righteousness and morality, there will be no bottom line in the heart, how is it different from that profit-seeking villain?"

    "Students, remember." Zhao Han cupped his hands.

    Pang Chunlai shook his head again and said with emotion: "That Zhang family is arrogant and domineering, and I thought she was an ignorant shrew. But I didn't expect that she could show her ambition with death and arrange the funeral properly. Remember, remember,  In this world, no one should be underestimated. Don’t always think that you are smart and treat others as fools, then you will not be far from death!”

    Zhao Han was also shocked by this and deeply agreed.

    A shrew-like woman can actually make that kind of will.

    50% of the property was donated to the academy, which suddenly occupied the moral high ground.

    30% of the property was distributed by Fei Yuanlu, and the core of the contradiction was instantly transferred to Fei Yuanlu, the head of the academy.

    When Fei Yuanlu became a beneficiary, he immediately bound Zhang's mother and son, and also became her son's guardian, and did not dare to touch the remaining 20% ??of the family property.

    Once Mrs. Zhang dies, it becomes a chess eye, and no one can play here.

    The plan is meticulous, the choice is decisive, and the means are extraordinary!

    (Yesterday’s rewritten list made two great gods mistaken, so I will re-push the chapter: "Global Gods Era", a super-fantasy and super-sci-fi era of gods;  Game, into reality.?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 039 [Old Friends]

    Before the erection of the Martyrs Memorial Archway, both Chen Shi and Fei Yuanjian lived in the academy temporarily.

    As for the family, Fei Yuanlu has already sent someone to seal the door.

    After thinking about it for many days, Fei Yuanjian finally found Mrs. Chen, and couldn't help but ask, "Are you really my mother?"

    Mrs. Chen held the rosary in her hand, and said ambiguously: "Silly boy, no matter whether you are or not, you can only be from now on. Both of us mothers have no choice."

    Fei Yuanjian pondered for a while, but he really couldn't figure it out, so he asked from another angle: "Thenthen my former mother is really my own mother?"

    "She died for you, whether she died for you or not, you must admit it in your heart. Knowing how to repay her kindness, can you understand this truth?" Chen still refused to make it clear.

    Fei Yuanjian was almost driven crazy, so he simply asked the key question: "Then who is my real father?"

    Mrs. Chen got up and walked over, stroking the top of his head, and said in a low voice: "Remember, it doesn't matter who your real father is. The important thing is that you can only have that one real father from the beginning to the end. If anyone comes to your door in the future  , you don’t have to admit it, just beat him away.”

    Fei Yuanjian's face turned pale in an instant, he finally understood what he said, he was indeed a bastard!

    It's no wonder that in the last words left by my mother, she didn't resent the rumour-mongers, she only said that she was forced to death by the clansmen, and the rumour-mongers were indeed wronged.

    Mrs. Chen paced back to her seat, fiddled with the rosary in her hand, and said softly, "Sit down and talk."

    Fei Yuanjian sat down obediently, observing this young lady carefully for the first time.

    Mrs. Chen is only in her thirties this year. She is always green and pale.  She doesn't wear makeup or even any accessories, but her oval face still looks charming, and her pair of dark eyes seem to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

    When Chen's eyes swept over, Fei Yuanjian quickly lowered his head, not daring to look directly at him, feeling a little awed in his heart.

    Mrs. Chen sighed and said: "I know you have conflicts in your heart, but before your mother died, she entrusted you to me and asked you to kneel down and recognize me as your own mother. You and I are one body, and we will be together from now on."  It's your loving mother."

    "Mom."

    Fei Yuanjian shouted a little awkwardly.

    Feeling relieved, Chen smiled kindly, and warned: "From now on, don't act willfully."

    "The child knows." Fei Yuanjian has experienced a lot, even if he has not matured, he knows that he will not be able to pull it up.

    Mrs. Chen carefully analyzed Fei Yuanjian: "The inheritance left by your mother is not the family property, but the cold Martyr's Memorial Archway. If the archway does not fall down, you are an orphan, and no one will dare to touch you."

    Fei Yuanjian was silent, suddenly moved to the point of crying.

    Chen continued: "Fei Yuanlu, the head of Hanzhu Academy, has gained so much benefits this time, and his prestige even exceeds that of the patriarch. He must keep you. You have to rely on him a lot, you know?"

    Fei Yuanjian listened carefully and nodded repeatedly.

    Chen said again: "Whether it's the Martyr's Memorial or Fei Yuanlu, they can only keep you for a while. You have to work hard to get ahead, you know?"

    "But the boy is really not good at reading." Fei Yuanjian said distressedly.

    "No matter how bad you are, you have to be a scholar," Chen said. "With fame, you can spend money to donate to tribute students. Even if you go bankrupt, you have to donate a small official to do it. You have been nesting in Qianshan, and you will only grow moldy here."  , I have to jump out anyway.”

    Fei Yuanjian was thoughtful, he really didn't want to stay in Qianshan Mountain, it poked his spine too much here.

    Mrs. Chen ordered: "The schoolchildren who were frightened by you, I heard that they have improved recently, so you should go and apologize in person."

    "Why should I apologize to him?" Fei Yuanjian reverted to his old ways, and his domineering temper was still there.

    The Chen family taught: "You can't study on your own, and the other tribes don't get close to you. Who can help you in the future? You used to be stubborn, and you were burdened with unbearable rumors. You must work hard to cultivate your own virtue. Whether you do it for others  Look, if you really reform yourself, you should respect your elders, love your clansmen, unite with your classmates, and treat your neighbors leniently. In this way, you are a person of virtue and filial piety.  If it is still the same as before, I am afraid that the property will be taken away, and others will applaud."

    These words are very thorough, combined with the recent encounters, Fei Yuanjian sincerely admired: "What mother taught is, the child must remember."

    Mrs. Chen smiled and said: "I heard that that schoolboy is quite intelligent, you should get close to him more. Not only him, you should make friends with all promising peers. If you reconcile with that schoolboy, you will  Let others know that you, Fei Yuanjian, have reformed yourself. Go!"

    "I listen to mother, the baby is gone." Fei Yuanjian left quickly.

    He also really wants to make friends.?After all, he is only a half-grown child.

    Not to mention the former attendants, even the book boy who grew up with him, fled without a trace with his relatives, and took away a lot of the family's floating wealth by the way.

    He had to make friends, at least one to chat and play with.

    Although he only had contact with Mrs. Chen for a few days, Fei Yuanjian was willing to listen to this young lady.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Fei Yuanjian left for a while, when suddenly someone knocked on the door.

    The Chen family has only one confidant maid, who now stays at home to manage the place, and did not bring Hanzhu Academy.

    She went to open the door herself, and when she saw who was coming, she was so frightened that she immediately closed the door.

    "Miss!"

    Wei Jianxiong stretched out his hand to stop it. With great strength, he pushed the door open: "Miss, I'm not a thief. Why are you so afraid?"

    Mrs. Chen stepped back a few steps, no longer as calm as before: "Your Excellency, please go back."

    Wei Jianxiong, a rough man, shyly confided his heart: "Since the master moved to the frontier, I have been looking for Miss for three years, and I have found Qianshan all the way from Yangzhou. Miss refused to see me or talk to me, so I went to the E Lake  I have been a domestic slave. For more than ten years, I only hope that every year during the Obon Festival, I can take the opportunity of the lady to worship the Buddha, and I can look at the lady from a distance"

    "Stop talking nonsense, let's go!" Chen was flustered.

    Wei Jianxiong continued: "I know that I am humble, so I don't ask for anything else. The master saved my mother and son back then, and my life was given by the Chen family"

    "Hurry up!" Chen turned around and roared, her breathing becoming short of breath.

    Wei Jianxiong gritted his teeth, summoned up his courage and said: "Miss, I have never married a wife, and I have never been close to a woman. Every time I follow Young Master Fei to the brothel, he calls me a woman, and I have always guarded myself like a jade. I even  Those women don't even touch their hands"

    "Bastard, get out!"

    Chen Shi finally had an attack, trembling all over, and smashed the rosary in his hand.

    Wei Jianxiong reached out to catch it, put the rosary in his arms, carefully kept it, and exited the room, saying: "Miss, if there is any trouble in the future, please send someone to report to me. Even if you risk your life, I will definitely help. If   If Miss does not want to stay in Qianshan Mountain, I will take Miss to flee elsewhere. I have also saved some money over the years, so I can set up a family and start a business"

    "roll!"

    Unable to suppress it, Mrs. Chen roared loudly.

    Wei Jianxiong didn't dare to say any more. After closing the door, he blushed and ran out of the yard.

    Kneeling together, Chen clasped his hands together, his chest fluctuated, and he closed his eyes and recited: "So I heard it. At that time, the Buddha was in Savatthi. Only the tree was given to the Lonely Garden"

    Obviously, this is not the first time that the two have met in private

    Hysteria, the scientific name is "dissociative conversion disorder", which occurs due to severe mental stimulation, and most of them can be relieved within one year.

    In "The Scholars", Fan Jinzhongju was suddenly so happy that he went crazy, and it was enough to be slapped, which also belonged to hysteria.

    In the first half month, Xu Ying completely isolated herself.

    He eats when he is served, and doesn't talk to you, just keeps reciting, and knows to find a latrine by himself.

    After memorizing "The Analects of Confucius", I will recite "University", and after memorizing "University", I will go back to memorize Primary Four Books.

    The Primary Four Books are not simple. Although they are elementary books, they can be called all-inclusive.  Generally, recitation is not required, only understanding and memory is required to shape the world outlook, outlook on life and values ??of schoolchildren.

    Xu Ying was able to memorize all the contents of these books, remembering word for word from beginning to end.

    All the way to the "Five Character Book", he didn't have this book, so he only listened to memorize a few paragraphs.

    Xu Ying went to ask Pang Chunlai: "Sir, the body of a snake and the head of an ox, there is no article in the world, what are the next few sentences?"

    Pang Chunlai was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed: "Your hysteria is cured?"

    Xu Ying was also stunned, her eyes widened, and she stammered: "II"

    "It's done when it's done, it's done when it's done, don't think too much about it." Pang Chunlai quickly comforted him.

    It's evening.

    Pang Chunlai was teaching arithmetic to Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe, and Xu Ying, while Fei Chun quietly dozed off on the side.

    Fei Yuanjian came in suddenly and bowed to Pang Chunlai: "Sir, my disciple was stubborn in the past and disturbed the lectures. Please forgive me, sir."

    Pang Chunlai had done something bad, so he couldn't help feeling guilty and suspicious, so he just nodded and said: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it."

    Fei Yuanjian bowed to Xu Ying again: "Student Xu, I shouldn't bully you, please forgive me for being ignorant."

    "No need to apologize, no need to apologize, I forgive you." Xu Ying had lingering fears, and was afraid when she saw Fei Yuanjian.

    Fei Yuanjian bowed to Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe again, and even counted Fei Chun: "Students, I will study hard in the future, and I only hope to be friends with you."

    Zhao Han looked at Pang Chun subconsciously, and the master and apprentice looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out what was going on.

    Zhao Han laughed, stood up and took Fei Yuanjian's hand: "We are all classmates, why bother to talk so much, sit down and learn arithmetic together."

    After being rejected and ridiculed by countless people, Zhao Han was the first to accept. Fei Yuanjian was very happy, and his impression of Zhao Han soared.

    Zhao Han was even more vigilant in his heart, mad at other people's fathers and driving other people's mothers to death, this is a sworn hatred.

    Then, with a very headache, Pang Chunlai forced him to learn arithmetic, saying that it would be useful for marching and fighting in the futureI still have lingering fears in my heart, and I am afraid when I see Fei Yuanjian.

    Fei Yuanjian bowed to Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe again, and even counted Fei Chun: "Students, I will study hard in the future, and I only hope to be friends with you."

    Zhao Han looked at Pang Chun subconsciously, and the master and apprentice looked at each other, but they couldn't figure out what was going on.

    Zhao Han laughed, stood up and took Fei Yuanjian's hand: "We are all classmates, why bother to talk so much, sit down and learn arithmetic together."

    After being rejected and ridiculed by countless people, Zhao Han was the first to accept. Fei Yuanjian was very happy, and his impression of Zhao Han soared.

    Zhao Han was even more vigilant in his heart, mad at other people's fathers and driving other people's mothers to death, this is a sworn hatred.

    Then, with a very headache, Pang Chunlai forced him to learn arithmetic, saying that it would be useful for marching and fighting in the future ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 040 [Tian Yuan Shu?  】

    It was another evening.

    After school, Fei Chun was sent to the cafeteria to wait for dinner, and Pang Chun came to squat in the latrine with a stomachache.

    Fei Yuanjian stayed in the classroom foolishly, restless, as if suffering from ADHD.  He didn't want to make up lessons every day, but except for Zhao Han and the others, the other students didn't play with him, and even laughed at him when they saw it.

    Is it so difficult to be a good student?

    Fei Ruhe's situation is similar, flipping through the "Algorithm of Tongzong" in his hand, his thoughts have drifted to the sky, the devil's arithmetic is more difficult than the four books.

    Finally, Fei Ruhe couldn't help but said: "Sir, you shit. You haven't returned for a long time. You must have a stomachache. I don't think you need to learn today's arithmetic."

    "That's right, that's right, there's no need to study anymore." Fei Yuanjian quickly agreed, he came here to make friends, not to study hard together.  As far as his knowledge base is concerned, if he really wants to make progress, he must first go back to the Mongolian library to retake the children's books.

    Xu Ying didn't dare to speak. Although she was not so scared anymore, she still had a gap with the rich young master.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Then you go to practice martial arts in the bamboo forest."

    Fei Ruhe, who had already stood up, sat down again when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "If you don't go, then I'd better stay."

    Fei Ruhe also had a guilty conscience, and he also had a part in posting big-character posters, so he didn't dare to be alone with Fei Yuanjian.

    "Haha, then I'll stay and study too." Fei Yuanjian echoed with a smirk.  He has no place to go, and he has offended too many classmates before, so once he is alone, he will be easily beaten by the group.

    Fei Chun ran back and forth several times, and finally called everyone's meals.

    Not long after, Pang Chunlai also returned to the classroom, picked up his chopsticks and said, "Learn while eating. This method of arithmetic is more practical than classics. From now on, whether you are a local official, marching to fight a war, or managing a family business,  Arithmetic is definitely useful."

    "Yes." Fei Ruhe, Fei Yuanjian and Fei Chun all had sad faces.

    Xu Ying sat upright, eagerly waiting to learn new knowledge.

    As for Zhao Han, he remained silent the whole time, and immersed himself in familiarizing himself with various ancient related terms.

    For example, "length" and "width" are often called "wide" and "from".  If you don’t understand this, it’s useless to be good at math, you won’t even be able to understand the questions.

    Another example is the timing unit, hour, quarter, change, and point.

    Everyone knows that there are 12 hours a day and 2 hours per hour.

    However, it is a bit troublesome to record the quarters. In the past, there were 100 quarters a day, but with the introduction of Western clocks, the day was changed to 96 quarters.  I heard that in Beijing, someone suggested changing it to 108 quarters, which is a mess anyway.

    In addition, there are also non-common time units such as seconds, awns, and suddens.

    Moreover, Zhao Han was surprised to find that there was a "Zhou" in ancient China, and it had been used for two thousand years.

    There are 7 days in weekdays and 8 days in leap weeks. During the Qin and Han Dynasties, they were used to set working days, and court officials only worked 6 days a week.  Because of the troublesome conversion between the average and the leap, it was not used much later, and it is more intuitive and convenient to use the thirty days of each month.

    The term "week" also exists, specifically referring to the seventh day of July, and it is derived as the date of marriage.

    The week is approaching, and the wedding day is approaching.

    Zhao Han was already familiar with counting chips, and then he was reluctant to learn, pestering Pang Chun to explain various units and terminology.

    ? ⊥〣＝‖_×

    Can you see what it means?

    6322.14 (the decimal must be half a space shorter) in the counting board.

    In fact, as long as you get used to it, it is no different from Arabic numerals, it is nothing more than a different symbol expression

    Seeing that Zhao Han only pays attention to technical terminology and doesn't like to learn basic arithmetic, Pang Chunlai smiled and asked a question: "Zhao Han, can you figure it out?"

    ?It is really because Zhao Han is progressing too fast, and he is obviously tired of studying, so he has to beat the problem of his debut!

    Xu Ying, Fei Ruhe, Fei Yuanjian, and Fei Chun read the topic curiously, and then they were all dumbfounded.

    The content of the topic is roughly: "There is only 280,000 shi of military rations left on the front line, and 7,000 shi is consumed every day. If the food is transported, it can be reached in 25 days, and 1,000 shi is consumed per day on the way. Please, how much food needs to be transported to allow the frontline soldiers to last for 90 days  ?”

    Xu Ying thought about the method of solving the problem carefully, but her mind was confused. He had just started to learn multiplication.

    Fei Ruhe couldn't help but said, "Sir, aren't you making trouble for others?"

    "I didn't ask you to solve the problem," Pang Chunlai looked at Zhao Han with a smile, "If you can't solve it, you will be honest and practical from now on!"

    Zhao Han didn't answer the question immediately, but asked: "After the ration team completes the military order, should they stay on the battlefield and wait for 90 days, or return immediately? Or, after transporting the rations, they don't care whether the ration team lives or dies. Mr.  questionambiguous, there are three different answers.  "

    Pang Chunlai laughed loudly: "Precise thinking is really rare. You can figure out all three solutions."

    Zhao Han picked up the straw paper, set the number of food to be transported as X, and then began to formulate the equation.

    A linear equation in one variable, just a primary school topic.

    Three answers were quickly thrown out.

    All the schoolchildren were shocked, whether they were good students or bad students, they all looked at Zhao Han with admiration.

    Pang Chunlai snatched Zhao Han's calculation draft, a series of mysterious codes made him dizzy, and modern equations were a holy book to him.

    "Which country character is this?" Pang Chunlai asked confused.

    Zhao Han tentatively asked: "Do you know Xu Guangqi, sir?"

    Pang Chunlai nodded and said: "Although Xu Guangqi has never met him as a teacher, and he doesn't even know his name, he has heard his name for a long time. After the defeat of Saerhu, he was ordered to train a new army in Tongzhou. Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne,  According to the imperial court report, he has been restored as an envoy of the Qing army."

    The Qing army is to check the situation of the army, including generals, troops, training, food and salaries, ordnance, etc.

    Xu Guangqi's current job is to clean up the Ming army.

    Since Pang Chun said he had never seen it before, Zhao Han can just talk nonsense.

    Zhao Han opened his mouth without blinking his eyes, and said, "There is a missionary in the West named Matteo Ricci, who brought "The Elements of Geometry" to Daming. Xu Guangqi translated this book, and my father had the honor to read it during his lifetime. These figures are from Western legends.  here."

    "Let's talk about it." Pang Chunlai was immediately interested. He let the schoolchildren eat and do problems, and he asked Western arithmetic.

    Zhao Han wrote Arabic numerals and various arithmetic symbols, and marked Chinese characters one by one below them.

    Pang Chunlai did not like Arabic numerals, but was amazed at the convenience of Western arithmetic symbols.  However, if you want to introduce those arithmetic symbols, you have to cooperate with Arabic numerals.

    It is not possible to express it with counting chips, because the "4" in the counting chip is exactly the same as the multiplication sign, and the "2" is almost the same as the equal sign.

    Pang Chunlai could only forcibly compare the two characters, and then look at Zhao Han's equation.

    "This is also Tianyuanshu!" Pang Chunlai slammed the table.

    Xu Ying and San Fei, holding chopsticks in their hands, looked over stupidly, they didn't understand what it meant at all.

    Tianyuan technique is an equation.

    Pang Chunlai said again: "This is Taixi's Tianyuan technique, which only lists one yuan. Can you solve two yuan, three yuan, and four yuan?"

    Zhao Han asked curiously: "Can you use a counting chip to solve four yuan?"

    Pang Chunlai shook his head and said: "Some people will, but I won't. It is said that Zhu Shijie, a master of mathematics in the Yuan Dynasty, once created a four-element solution. But I have only read his "Enlightenment of Mathematics", and have no chance to see his "Siyuan Yujian".  "One book. Not to mention so much, I will come up with a problem, and you can use Taixi's Tianyuan technique to solve it."

    Soon, a topic came out.

    Zhao Han solved it with a linear equation in two variables, and handed over the solution draft: "Please read it, sir."

    Pang Chunlai was not yet familiar with Arabic numerals, so he could only check the calculations slowly, and then clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful, wonderful!"

    ? Using arithmetic to solve linear equations in two variables is actually very fast, and the efficiency is not inferior to that of column equations.

    However, the problem-solving process of calculating Tianyuan technique is more cumbersome to express on paper, far less simple than the equation.

    If it is a question of duality and quadratic, Yuanshu will be even more cumbersome that day!

    Pang Chunlai laughed loudly: "This technique is so ingenious, let me teach you as a teacher."

    Students teach teachers?

    Xu Ying and San Fei were even more stunned, feeling that Zhao Han was really amazing!

    Pang Chunlai said to the four of them: "You also learn together."

    Since then, their arithmetic learning speed has doubled compared to before, and even Fei Yuanjian finds it easier.

    After all, they are not fools.

    The relationship between Fei Yuanjian and everyone has always been delicate.

    Like sticky candy every day, we read books, practice martial arts, and learn arithmetic together.  Xu Ying accepted him very quickly, but the others felt pimples in their hearts, and they always had reservations.

    In a blink of an eye, it will be the winter solstice.

    The Martyr's Memorial Arch has been repaired, but the imperial court's approval has not yet come down.

    This thing needs to be approved by the government at various levels, and then it will be bestowed in the name of the emperor.

    But at the end of Ming Dynasty, basically just give money.

    Find the magistrate if you are slow, and find the censor if you are fast.  After sending it to the imperial court, the emperor didn't care about it at all, and the cabinet directly dumped it to the Ministry of Rites, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites could approve it with money.

    The chastity archway is also exclusive to the rich!

    ?Because the imperial court only allocated thirty taels, which was not enough to set up the memorial archway, and more money was needed for the up and down management.  People who have no money and no status, no matter how chaste and powerful they are, they can't afford to erect archways unless the magistrates are doing it for political achievements.

    Confucianism eats people?

    Sorry, if your family has no money, you are not even eligible to be eaten.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 041【Winter Solstice Chinese New Year】

    The winter solstice is a big day, and generally speaking, there are three days off.

    Pang Chunlai took out some money and asked Zhao Han and the others to go to the town to buy vegetables, intending to celebrate the festival together with the master and apprentice.  He also called Xu Ying's family over, saying that they were helping with the cooking, and that it was nothing more than a way of helping.

    Arriving in Hekou Town, not far from the Three People's Pavilion, it is the newly established Martyrs' Square.

    "This is too anxious." Fei Ruhe complained.

    Zhao Han muttered, "You can't be in a hurry, the Fei family's reputation depends on it."

    Compared with the majestic and gorgeous Three-person Pavilion, the Martyrdom Archway is simply shoddy.  It's just that the words have been carved, and the rough edges of the stone are not trimmed, so they are hurriedly erected on the riverside.

    The rest of the details are set up by craftsmen with scaffolding, chiseled and polished slowly, and may continue to be polished for a year or two.

    The procedures have not been completed.

    The county government has already asked for a list, but the report has not yet entered Beijing, and it will have to be approved by the court at the end of next spring at the earliest.

    Everything is like a child's play, and the government is too lazy to pursue it.

    A few decades ago, the chastity archway was still strictly approved, but now it is showing a trend of flooding.  Half of the 36,000 chastity archways in the Ming Dynasty were built in the late Ming Dynasty. Anyway, if you have the money to apply for construction, it will be approved for you.

    In the Qing Dynasty, it was even more prevalent, and there were as many as one million chaste martyrs. In 296 years, there were an average of more than 3,000 martyrs in each county!

    That is more like a comparison between families, and it is also a manifestation of the achievements of local officials.

    Taking Huizhou alone as an example, the number of chaste and martyred women: 2 in the Tang Dynasty, 5 in the Song Dynasty, 21 in the Yuan Dynasty, 710 in the Ming Dynasty, and 7098 in the Qing Dynasty.

    ?This kind of hurricane data started in the late Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty, which can provide a glimpse of the abnormal development of ethics.

    Fei Ruhe said in a low voice: "That matter, it won't be revealed, right? Fei Yuanjian is next to us every day, does he have any suspicions? I feel guilty just looking at him now."

    "That's right, I'm also very scared." Fei Chun agreed.

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "What are you talking about? I haven't done anything wrong, so I don't understand anyway."

    Fei Ruhe was taken aback for a moment, then nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes, I don't understand, and I haven't done anything."

    "Master, I'm still afraid." Fei Chun struggled.

    Fei Ruhe immediately scolded: "You haven't done anything bad, you're afraid of a fart!"

    Fei Chun quickly shut up.

    Xu Ying asked curiously: "What are you talking about?"

    "It's nothing," Zhao Han explained with a smile, "They peeked at the little widow taking a bath, and they were almost caught on the spot."

    "I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" Fei Ruhe denied it.

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "That's right, if you don't admit it, then you don't have it."

    Fei Ruhe cried out, "I really didn't peek at the little widow taking a bath."

    Probably during the Chenghua and Hongzhi years, the social economy began to develop greatly, and ordinary people were also keen on celebrating the festival.  Three days before the winter solstice, the shops closed one after another, and everyone greeted and sent them off, and it was as lively as the New Year.

    But Hekou Town can't go out of business. It is the thoroughfare of eight provinces and a prosperous business center.

    Arriving in the town, Zhao Han found that the traffickers and pawns were all wearing new clothes, at least they had to put on clean and good clothes.

    Many porters carried loads and sent them to cargo ships or inns.

    These burdens are full of gifts, commonly known as "winter solstice plate".  Small families and small households can just carry the food box, and it is a good idea to communicate; rich and powerful families have to carry a burden, and the gifts are too shabby and they will lose face.

    ?There are always some businessmen from other places who cannot go home during the winter solstice, and business partners are complacent and considerate.

    Therefore, the restaurants in the town specialize in "winter solstice gift packages", which are divided into different price levels, and they also provide door-to-door delivery services.

    Zhao Han was walking by the river when he saw a porter carrying a load onto the boat.

    The second shopkeeper, dressed in silk, bowed his hands to the merchants on the ship and said: "On behalf of the Chimelong, I come to pay homage to the winter. I wish your master a wealth of wealth and prosperity, and I also wish brother Liu good luck and prosperity."

    "The treasurer Fei has a heart, a small gift is not a respect." The merchant immediately returned the gift.

    Even those porters who carry the burden have rewards for each of them.

    Passing through the pier and coming to the town street, Zhao Han had to admit that Jiangnan is generally very prosperous.

    A monstrous affluence.

    There are many people coming and going, some are black households who lost their land, some are slaves of rich families, and their lives are not bad.  At least, it looks good on the surface, and it is impossible for them to rebel.

    Unless there are catastrophes in successive years, the imperial court raises taxes again!

    The prices have risen a bit, Pang; Zhao Han said: "If he dares to bully you, I will definitely beat him."

    Fei Rumei clapped her hands happily: "Then it's settled, no lying."

    "Don't lie." Zhao Han said.

    Zhao Zhenfang said proudly: "My second brother is amazing."

    Fei Rumei sat on the palanquin and stretched out her arms: "It's not just talking, let's pull the hook."

    It's easy to coax children.

    After the two hooked up, Fei Rumei suddenly shouted: "Brother, don't bully me anymore, or your schoolboy will beat you up!"

    Zhao Han was speechless, pretending not to hear.

    Including Lou's, everyone looked for the sound.

    Fei Ruhe raised his fist and said: "He can't beat me, he only knows how to run away."

    Fei Rumei said: "Chunfang's elder brother is very powerful, he beat off many bad guys in Tianjin!"

    "I can beat bad guys too!" Fei Ruhe refused to be outdone.

    Zhao Han felt very helpless, time travels into a brat, and can only deal with a bunch of brats.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 042 [Good cabbage can't bear the pig's arch]

    Zhao Han took the bought ingredients and sent them to the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain, and handed them over to Xu Ying's parents.

    After saying hello to Pang Chunlai, he followed Lou to the academy.

    After all, his real identity is a book boy, and the student is only a part-time job, and he must serve the master when he comes.

    Lou's mother and daughter all went up the mountain in sedan chairs, and Zhao Zhenfang followed them on foot.

    Zhao Han said distressedly: "Little sister, are you tired?"

    "I'm not tired," Zhao Zhenfang said with a smile at this time, in a happy mood, "I eat enough for every meal, and I have more energy than in Tianjin. I have been living in the inner courtyard before, and today I can go out to climb mountains, and I met my second brother to accompany me again.  I couldn't be happier."

    "It's good if you're not tired." Zhao Han also laughed.

    Climbing all the way to the middle of the mountain, I finally came to Hanzhu Academy.

    Fei Ruhe left his mother behind and ran quickly to the yard where his father was studying, shouting as he ran, "Father, father, mother is here!"

    Everyone came to a courtyard, and Fei Yinghuan came out to greet them after hearing the news, as well as Hu Mengtai, Zhan Zhaoheng and other scholars.

    Mrs. Lou went to distribute gifts by herself, and helped her husband make good friends with classmates.

    Miss Fei Rulan and Fei Rumei had never been to the academy before, so they looked around curiously.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Zhenfang pulled her brother aside, suppressed her excitement, and said in a low voice, "Second brother, I can make money too."

    "Little sister is really amazing!" Zhao Han praised.

    Zhao Zhenfang took out a bunch of copper coins from her bosom and stuffed them into Zhao Han's hands: "I heard that I'm going to come to the academy, so I brought the money with me. Second brother, you can use it."

    There are more than 500 copper coins, all of which are wages and rewards, and the winter solstice money has not been given yet.

    The top servant of Fei Yinghuan's family has a monthly salary of two taels of silver, and holds a management position, so there is still money to be made secretly.

    The big maids in the inner courtyard earn about one tael a month.

    Zhao Zhenfang, as the young lady's playmate, includes food, housing and clothing, with a monthly salary of 500 Wen.

    Low-level servants can't do it. Not only are they paid very little, but they are often deducted by the stewards.  Some domestic slaves have a miserable life, but they don't resent their masters, they only hate those in charge.

    Of course, it also depends on which one.

    The same is Ehu Fei, Fei Yinghuan's second brother is harsh.  The hostess was very stingy, and the wages of the domestic slaves were directly cut in half, and she was often beaten, scolded and abused. Some time ago, she accidentally killed one, and only lied about being ill and buried her quietly.

    "Don't you usually use money?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhao Zhenfang said with a smile: "No, I have everything to eat and wear. The young lady treats me very well." After finishing speaking, she rolled up the sleeve of her left hand and showed the silver chain on her wrist, "This is from the second lady. She has  A few new ones, and the old ones will be discarded."

    "That's okay, second brother will save it for you, and you can take it when you need it." Zhao Han stuffed the copper coins into his arms.

    Miss Fei Rulan paced around the courtyard a few times, and couldn't help but say, "Mother, can I go to another place in the academy?"

    Lou loved her daughter very much, and immediately called Fei Ruhe: "Take my sister around."

    "I'm going too!" Fei Rumei shouted hastily.

    Lou smiled and said, "All go, all go."

    Since Fei Ruhe was leading the way, Zhao Han and Fei Chun, as bookboys, naturally had to follow along.

    The eldest miss Fei Rulan, the maid Xiyue; the second miss Fei Rumei, the maid Chunfang Uh, it's Zhao Zhenfang.  The group left the courtyard together, Fei Ruhe rushed out of the way excitedly, and ran a long way alone.

    Watching her sons and daughters leave, Lou suddenly asked: "I heardthat the family from Lilie Nunnery also lives in the academy?"

    Fei Yinghuan nodded and said, "We'll be moving down the mountain soon."

    Lou said: "The orphans and widows are also very pitiful. Let's give them a winter solstice plate."

    Wei Jianxiong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly jumped out: "I'll go see them off, I know where they live."

    Lou sorted out a gift, handed it to Wei Jianxiong and said, "That's all."

    Wei Jianxiong picked it up and ran, his whole body was elated.

    "What's wrong with him?" Lou didn't understand.

    Fei Yinghuan smiled and said, "I don't know, anyway, these days are very strange."

    After a while, Mrs. Chen came over with Fei Yuanjian to thank Mrs. Lou for the winter solstice gift, and Wei Jianxiong followed beside him with a full face of joy.

    From the way it looks, the relationship seems to be progressing.

    Lie Nu is afraid of pestering her husband, no matter how scheming Mrs. Chen is, she is still a woman with empty feelings, let alone they have known each other since childhood.

    Lou Shi and Chen Shi, two women, had a conversation.

    Extremely Atmospheric?Feeling that I can't get in the conversation, I deliberately searched for a topic and said: "Zhao Han is amazing. The master taught us arithmetic. He only learned it for a few days. In turn, the master will ask him for advice."

    "Really?" Fei Rulan didn't believe it.

    "I'm not lying. Ask Fei Chun if you don't believe me." Fei Ruhe said.

    Fei Chun nodded vigorously: "Really, Brother Han's arithmetic made me dizzy."

    After all, Fei Rulan was only thirteen years old, and her suicidal thoughts swirled and disappeared, and at this moment she regained her vivacity as a girl.  She said with a smile: "Then let me test you. Today there are pheasant rabbits in the same cage. There are thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. Ask the pheasant rabbits how many?"

    Uh, chicken and rabbit in the same cage, can there be something new?

    This question seems to be difficult for the first grade of junior high school, or it may be the sixth grade of elementary school.

    Zhao Han didn't even bother to calculate the formula, and replied: "23 chickens, 12 rabbits."

    "Sure enough, you are good at arithmetic!" Fei Rulan praised.

    Zhao Han said modestly: "I just understand a little."

    Fei Rulan has lived in a deep boudoir for a long time, and she can go out on three or five festivals every year.  In ancient times, there was no Internet, so being a house girl was hard, and even readable novels could not be found.

    Seeing that Zhao Han was quite interesting, she immediately came to talk about sex, and hurriedly asked, "Can you compose poetry?"

    "No." Zhao Han answered very simply.

    Fei Rulan was slightly disappointed, and asked again: "Will it be a match?"

    "Not at all." Zhao Han was too lazy to waste his brain cells.

    Zhao Zhenfang said suddenly: "Second brother knows it, daddy taught him how to fight. When we were fleeing famine, daddy was still teaching me on the way."

    "Uh" Zhao Han was speechless.

    Fei Rulan thought for a while, and asked the question: "Why is a handsome man drunk? You have a second line."

    Zhao Han said casually: "A good cabbage is no match for a pig."

    "No, no, it's a big mistake," Fei Rulan shook her head again and again, and then burst out laughing, "There's no one like you who is against you, it's not elegant at all."

    Sigh, I don't want to talk nonsense with you anymore, this kind of game is too naive, why not practice martial arts with your brother.

    Fei Rulan finally found someone to chat with, and kept talking all the way.  Zhao Han casually replied a few words, which made her laugh with her mouth covered, and she didn't know why her smile was so low.

    At noon, I ate in the academy, rested for half an hour, and Lou took her daughter down the mountain.

    Fei Rulan was a little reluctant to part with her. Once she got home, no one would talk to her, only the maids could play.

    Dinner was eaten in Pang Chunlai's thatched cottage, and Xu Ying's family was there.

    Mrs. Pang was very happy, drank a few more glasses, and then fell ill, because he didn't cover the quilt well at night.

    Hell weather!

    In the middle of the night, the cold snap hit, and it snowed heavily.

    Zhao Han got up in the morning, opened the door and saw that the mountains and plains were all white.

    He finally realized the power of the Little Ice River. This is Jiangxi, and half a foot of snow was accumulated overnight.

    Fortunately, I didn't stay in the north, otherwise I don't know what kind of cold it looks like.

    Mrs. Pang was ill, and for the next half a month, the teaching assistants would be used to substitute for the class.

    Zhao Han studied classics in the morning, practiced martial arts at noon, practiced calligraphy in the afternoon, and tutored his classmates in arithmetic in the evening.

    Regardless of the academy or the private school, the students all went home one after another.

    Fei Yinghuan personally tutored his son's homework, because there were boys' exams in spring, Fei Ruhe was forced to take the exams for boys.

    Whether you can pass the exam, there is no suspense, the key is to experience the atmosphere of the exam room.

    (Sacrifice two books: "Bringing the System to the Tang Dynasty", the second year of Kaiyuan, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, friends who like the prosperous Tang Dynasty, must not miss it.

    "These monsters are too difficult to seal", there are many foreshadowings, many suspense, a large pattern, adventure fairy suspense, an original system of cultivating immortals, and it takes off after 30 chapters.  ?

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 043 [Admitted on the spot?  】

    In the winter of the first year of Chongzhen, there was two feet of snow in Qianshan County, and many people and livestock froze to death.

    Compared with Shaanxi, it is already a paradise.

    The drought in Shaanxi is still going on, and the central court has not even sent a commissioner to inspect the disaster, not to mention disaster relief.

    Moreover, the imperial court continued to press for taxes.

    Emperor Chongzhen was merciful and exempted the tax three years ago, but the tax arrears in the sixth and seventh years of Tianqi had to be paid.  The first year of Chongzhen was even more outrageous, so what about the severe drought in Shaanxi Province, the tax arrears of 52,000 taels, it is simply disrespectful to the new emperor!

    Taxation, continue to collect taxes, Liao pay must also be collected in full!

    In a blink of an eye, it was the second year of Chongzhen.

    Just after the Lantern Festival holiday ended, Emperor Chongzhen summoned the cabinet ministers to rule on the case of "Wei Zhongxian's treason".

    ?The newly released chief assistant, Han Yu, although he is the leader of the Donglin Party, does not want to continue to engage in party disputes, and demands that the list of eunuchs be limited to 50 people.

    Emperor Chongzhen was not happy, saying that there must be fish that slipped through the net.

    Han Yu withstood the pressure from all parties and still did not want to expand. The second time he gave the list of eunuchs, there were still only a few dozen people.

    Emperor Chongzhen finally became angry, and personally formulated various crimes, and those who flattered Wei Zhongxian were considered eunuchs!

    The chief assistant, Han Yu, had no choice but to finally report 258 people on the eunuch list.

    Emperor Chongzhen was still suspicious, and kept installing factory guard spies, which made people panic for a while.

    Party struggle?

    Having been fooled by Chongzhen, the imperial court can no longer play party disputes. Cleaning up the eunuchs is just an excuse, and the real target is directed at the Donglin Party.  The minister who is good at figuring out the holy will is making intensive preparations in private. As long as he waits for a good opportunity to make a move, he can overthrow the Donglin Party cabinet in one fell swoop.

    ?From a certain point of view, Chongzhen is also a master of political struggle, gaining supreme authority even with fighting

    Yangchun March.

    Zhao Han took a boat to Qianshan County, and joined Fei Ruhe to participate in the boy's test.

    He didn't want to take the imperial examination at first, but Fei Yinghuan persuaded him to try it, and Pang Chunlai also persuaded him to try it, so let's take the exam casually.

    In order to qualify for the exam, Zhao Han temporarily changed his name to Fei Han, and finally changed from a black household to an adopted son, and his household registration fell into the official household registration register of the Fei family.

    The day before the county test, everyone stayed in the county seat.

    The fellow examinees included Fei Ruhe and Xu Ying. Although Fei Chun was also a book boy, he didn't even have the qualifications for the exam.

    ?Everyone got up in the middle of the night, came early to wait outside the examination booth, and checked their identities to enter the venue at dawn.

    The examination conditions in Qianshan County are very good, there is no need to bring your own examination tables and benches, let alone use the county government as a temporary examination room to make do.

    Fei Ruhe pretended to pay back the debt, and complained, "Why don't you open the door to search? I'm still waiting to go in and catch up on sleep."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "A whole day of exams is enough for you to sleep."

    Fei Ruhe sighed and said, "Oh, I just finished studying "The Analects of Confucius", but I haven't read "Mencius" or "The Doctrine of the Mean", so my father insists on me taking the "Shentong Test!"

    "Didn't your family buy you a notice county?" Zhao Han teased in a low voice.

    Fei Ruhe rubbed his chubby face: "What's the use of buying notice to the county? I just passed the county exam, and I'm still a schoolboy. If I want to be a boy student, I have to buy the magistrate as well."

    Zhao Han turned around and asked Xu Ying, "How sure are you?"

    Xu Ying shook her head and said, "I'm not even half sure. I started too late and haven't finished studying "Mencius". If my husband didn't let me take the exam, I would definitely take the exam again next year."

    "It is for your own good to take the exam this year, so as not to be unfamiliar with everything next year. Don't be nervous, just come to visit the exam booth." Zhao Han said comfortingly.

    Outside the examination room, only Fei Chun followed.

    Fei Yinghuan also came, Qin Xin, Jian Dan, and Jiu Po ??are all there, and now they are all asleep in the inn, saying that they will go to Shitang Town to visit friends after dawn.

    As for his son's exam, Fei Yinghuan didn't bother to take care of it, it was just a day trip to the exam room.

    The only role of Mr. Fei is to find a few scholars and give Zhao Han and them a joint guarantee.

    At dawn, candidates began to enter the venue.

    The guard confirmed Zhao Han's identity and let him in for a search.

    The county test and inspection is purely a fool, you don't need to take off your clothes, just touch it a few times to make a show, anyway, it doesn't matter if someone cheats.

    Entering the examination room, Zhao Han rushed to grab the number, so as not to be next to the toilet.

    The sky suddenly began to rain lightly, and Zhao Han seized the time to nail the oilcloth, and his body was already wet when everything was done.

    sleep!

    Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe were not far apart, they didn't take the exam seriously, and fell asleep on the table almost at the same time.

    Only Xu Ying was nervous and forgotI came here for a day trip.

    In the morning light, Zhao Han was woken up.

    The guard held the question board and walked between the test booths. The light was too dark to see clearly, and he had to wait for the guard to get closer.

    Two questions, only four books are tested, and the time is one day.

    Zhao Han took a closer look, what was it?

    The first one is okay to say: Zi said.

    The second course is outrageous: I don’t eat much.

    When Fei Ruhe saw the question, he immediately scratched his head.

    The title "Zi Yue" must have come from "The Analects of Confucius".  But the "Zi Yue" is so full that people have no way to start, and they don't know from which angle to solve the problem.

    The fat man thought for a long time and decided to do the second question first.

    ?After a little thought, I began to think about it, and wrote down the problem: You can't eat too much, and you will get fat if you eat too much!

    Well done, Fei Ruhe has already begun to indulge himself.

    Xu Ying's side.

    ?It is also impossible to start with "Zi Yue", because "The Analects of Confucius" is everywhere, as if being asked to prove "1+1=2".

    Seeing "I don't eat much" again, Xu Ying laughed suddenly, this question is very simple.

    Zhao Han's situation is just the opposite. When he sees "Zi Yue", he immediately thinks of Su Shi's Xiongwen.

    When he was in college, although he didn't recite the whole text, he still remembered the opening few sentences, and directly moved them to solve the problem: every man is the teacher of the world, and one word is the law of the world.

    In the next few sentences, continue to copy Su Shi's original text.

    I copied and copied, but I forgot later, so I searched my brains and scraped my stomach, pieced together and piled up the words on the paper.

    After tossing about for a quarter of an hour, I managed to gather 200 words, and after some minor revisions, I began to transcribe them on the answer sheet.

    Next comes the second question: I don’t eat much.

    Zhao Han couldn't remember the original text for a while, but he could reason.

    Confucius is a foodie. The "Analects" is about eating the most. This question is probably from the "Analects".

    After thinking about it for a while, he finally remembered that the original sentence should be "don't withdraw ginger food, don't eat too much".

    It can be understood as: Confucius likes to eat ginger, and stays with him every day, but he doesn't eat too much.

    It can also be understood as: Ginger can clear thinking, other foods are removed, ginger can be kept, but not too much.

    Zhu Xi's explanation is: Jiang Tong is divine, and can get rid of evil.  Confucius didn't eat too much because he was not greedy.

    This is a truncated question. It is very difficult to solve the question. It cannot mention the words before and after, but must express the relevant content.

    Zhao Han thought for a long time, and finally took up his pen and wrote: Precepts and self-examination, a sage can cultivate himself.

    It's very good to solve the problem, but it's a pity that the rest is not easy to do. Zhao Han wrote indiscriminately, and he copied and handed in the paper when he got 200 words.

    It's still early, but four people have already handed in the papers.

    Zhao Han was the fifth, and he was about to put down the test paper and leave, but Feng Zhixian stopped him.

    "What advice does the county lord have?" Zhao Han asked, clasping his hands.

    Feng Xun stroked his beard and said, "Why are you going? Just wait!"

    Zhao Han stood honestly by the side, and a buddy was attending an interview.

    Feng Xun sent out a couplet, the buddy answered quickly, and was allowed to leave happily, as if he was admitted on the spot.

    The county examination does not need vague names, Feng Xun glanced at it and asked, "Which one is from the Fei family?"

    "Goose Lake." Zhao Han replied.

    "Who are you, Fei Dazhao?" Feng Xun asked again.

    Zhao Han said: "My father."

    Feng Xun immediately became cheerful, and said with a smile: "My lord is a great talent, I think you are not bad, just wait for me to see Xiongwen."

    Zhao Han is speechless, this county test is too ridiculous, don't you avoid suspicion at all?

    Feng Xun glanced at the problem, and suddenly slapped the table and exclaimed: "Wonderful, wonderful! Every man is the teacher of a hundred generations, and one word is the law of the world. A real tiger father has no dogs!"

    ? Zhao Han is stupid. Hasn’t this county magistrate read Su Shi’s article?

    In this stereotype, the first six sentences are copied from Su Shi's original text!

    Many scholars in the late Ming Dynasty, not to mention the prose of the Tang and Song Dynasties, did not even memorize the Four Books and Five Classics, and directly memorized various model essays on sea tactics.

    Even Qian Qianyi, a great talent, only started to really study ancient prose after he was an official for many years, and quickly became a new leader in the literary world.  Before that, although he knew the Eight Great Men of Tang and Song Dynasties, he had never read the proses of Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan.

    Feng Xun read the second chapter again, clapped his hands and said: "Fei's family has a unicorn!"

    Then, Feng Zhixian began to worry. The first case has been decided, and the second place is also selected.  No matter how good Zhao Han's stereotyped essay is, he can only be ranked third. I really feel wronged for this child prodigy.

    Feng Xun reminded: "Go home and prepare for the government examination."

    Zhao Han was a little confused, so I was admitted on the spot?

    Didn't you say that the Jiangxi imperial examination is difficult?  I haven't even finished learning the Four Books of Lao Tzu!Listed as the third place, really wronged this child prodigy.

    Feng Xun reminded: "Go home and prepare for the government examination."

    Zhao Han was a little confused, so I was admitted on the spot?

    Didn't you say that the Jiangxi imperial examination is difficult?  I haven't finished learning the four books of Lao Tzu yet.

 Volume 1 Trapped Shallows 044 [Writing Decline]

    It was still very early at noon, and the food box brought into the examination room was useless, so Zhao Han brought it up again.

    Fei Chun stood guard outside the examination room, and immediately came up to him and asked, "Brother, have you finished the exam?"

    "The exam is over," Zhao Han opened the food box and handed out a piece of cake, "You must be hungry after waiting for a long time, let's fill your stomach with it."

    Fei Chun comforted himself while eating the cake: "Brother, don't worry, this year won't pass, and next year will come again."

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "I've passed."

    Fei Chun continued: "I'm afraid the young master will take the exam for two or three years. Let's come again next year."

    "I passed the exam." Zhao Han repeated.

    "I know my brother passed the examuh," Fei Chun was stunned for a moment, "Brother was selected?"

    "I got it." Zhao Han nodded.

    Fei Chun held the cake in one hand, and helped Zhao Han carry the bookcase with the other: "My brother must be joking, trying to make me laugh. How long has it been? I'm afraid the young master hasn't woken up yet."

    "Then go back to the inn to find the young master." Zhao Han didn't bother to explain.

    Fei Chun said, "I still have to wait for the young master."

    At this moment, Fei Ruhe has also handed in the papers and is currently being interviewed by Fengzhi County.

    Feng Zhixian looked strange, looking at the two articles in his hand.

    ?The title of the first article is: "The one who cares about it, the words of the sage, you must listen to it, you must listen to it."

    Well, it's barely normal, and the county test essays are not very demanding.

    The second chapter is titled: "You can't eat too much, and you will get fat if you eat too much."

    What the hell is this?

    Feng Xun held back his smile and asked, "Are you also a descendant of the Ehu Fei family?"

    Fei Ruhe nodded: "Yes."

    Feng Xun asked again: "Fei Dazhao is also your father?"

    Fei Ruhe nodded: "Yes."

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    Feng Xun finally couldn't bear it any longer, and sat there laughing loudly, many candidates peeked over curiously.

    Fei Ruhe seemed very happy to see the county magistrate, and immediately became proud: "Master Xian, am I doing well?"

    "Very good, it's wonderful," Feng Xun almost burst into laughter, bit his lip to stop laughing, and waved, "Let's go."

    Fei Ruhe left in a happy mood. Passing an examination booth in the front row, some examinees whispered: "The county honoree appreciates it so much. Brother Taiwan must have a good article. May I ask how you can solve the problem with 'not much food'?"

    Fei Ruhe has a bold personality and is willing to share his successful experience with everyone. He said loudly: "You can't eat too much, and you will get fat if you eat too much."

    "Leave immediately, don't make noise!"

    The invigilator hurriedly stopped.

    Hearing Fei Ruhe's answer, some candidates covered their mouths and snickered, and some candidates seemed to hear fairy sounds.

    By noon, there were examinees handing in papers one after another, many of which were related to food, and Zhixian Feng's cheeks were already stiff with laughter.

    At this moment, the master came to take over the class, Feng Xun did not leave immediately, but took out Zhao Han's paper: "Look, brother, here is a great essay."

    The master glanced at it, with a strange expression on his face, and said, "It really is a good article."

    Feng Xun said excitedly: "This article is a model, and it should be posted on the list for all students to learn from."

    Master suppressed a smile and said, "It must be so."

    Today's exam questions were given by this master. Last night, Fengzhi County went to drink flower wine.

    Looking at Feng Xun who was running to have lunch, the master's expression of flattery was gone, replaced by a look of contempt

    Besides, when Fei Ruhe left the examination room, he immediately greeted him: "Let's go, go back to the inn, Daddy must not have left yet."

    Fei Chun took the bookcase and asked, "How did the young master do well in the exam?"

    Fei Ruhe said gleefully: "Although they are all scribbles, my young master is quick-witted. The county lord laughed heartily when he saw it, and praised me on the spot."

    Fei Chun was surprised and delighted, and said repeatedly: "Congratulations, young master, congratulations, young master, let's go back to the inn and tell the good news to the young master."

    "Leave quickly." Fei Ruhe couldn't wait.

    When the three returned to the inn, Fei Yinghuan hadn't woken up yet, and Wei Jianxiong went to the river to prepare the boat early.

    Qin Xin, Jian Dan, and Jiu Po ??didn't wake up either, they were all playing mahjong with Fei Yinghuan last night.

    Fei Ruhe excitedly ran to knock on the door: "Father, father, the baby has come to announce the good news!"

    Fei Yinghuan got up in a daze, opened the door with a yawn, and said angrily, "How long has it been? Why have you handed in the paper?"

    Fei Chun rushed to announce the good news: "Daddy, the young master did well in the exam and was praised by the county magistrate."

    Fei YingI haven't read it, I only know some of the famous sentences.

    "Good, very good!" Fei Yinghuan praised repeatedly.

    Zhao Han became more and more frightened, and carefully observed Fei Yinghuan's expression. This old man didn't know "The Story of Yueyang Tower"?

    Juren at the end of Ming Dynasty was too watery!

    It cannot be said that, Fei Yinghuan is familiar with hundreds of schools of thought, and has many Qin and Han articles in his family collection.

    "Let's go, let's go," Fei Yinghuan concealed his embarrassment, and greeted the children to board the boat for a trip, and whispered to Qin Xin on the way, "Go and buy a copy of "The Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties".  I'll be waiting for you on the boat."

    After everyone boarded the boat for a long time, Qin Xin finally bought a book and came back.

    "Daddy, I went to several bookstores, and I finally bought one." Qin Xin's hands were covered with dust, and she didn't know how many years this book had been disliked.

    ? Set sail for Shitang Town.

    Sitting alone in the cabin, Fei Yinghuan read several majestic essays in a row, and suddenly burst into tears: "I will know the true meaning of the essay today, and I have wasted half my life!"

    In fact, it is not too late. Qian Qianyi, the standard-bearer of the New Culture Movement, only read the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties after he was 40 years old.

    Zhao Han sat on the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery on both sides of the strait, feeling extremely complicated.

    This Ming Dynasty should not only provide food for the common people, but also provide spiritual food for the scholars of the world.

    A very talented Juren didn't even know about "The Story of Yueyang Tower".

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 045 [Ancient Prose Viewing]

    Zhao Han roughly knew the development of literature in the Ming Dynasty, because the teacher of the professional course had roughly talked about it.

    During the nearly three hundred years, Ming Dynasty has experienced three literary revival movements.

    At this moment, the second retro movement has long since ended, and the third retro movement is still in its infancy.

    Between the two restorations is the rise and fall of Romantic literature.

    During the Wanli period, the government was corrupt and there were many social contradictions.  The publication of "Burning Books" (Li Zhi), which contained a large number of heretical thoughts, laid the cornerstone of the Romantic literary trend of thought.

    Immediately afterwards, Yuan Hengkong, the third public security officer, was born, and popular literature blossomed, opening the most exciting chapter of Ming Dynasty literature.

    There were three kinds of popular literature at that time: Public Security literature, erotic novels, and satirical literature.

    Most of the large number of small Huangwen in the Ming Dynasty were produced during this period.

    Two of the police officers and Yuan died, and the only remaining Yuan Zhongdao suddenly denied and corrected himself.  He abandoned retroism and returned to the road (true feelings and authenticity), and seriously fell into retroism (magnificent hypocrisy), and the romantic literary trend of thought came to an abrupt end.

    Thus, the Jingling School was born.

    The Jingling School absorbed the spiritualism of the Gong'an School while emphasizing the style and law of classical poetry.

    Between the two, it is difficult to reconcile, resulting in poems in the late Ming Dynasty full of ghosts and ghosts, striving for obscurity and treachery, strange characters and dangerous rhymes, which have completely entered the evil way.

    The same is true for articles. Scholars like to study ancient Qin and Han prose, but do not absorb the essence of ancient Qin and Han prose.  Instead, he is keen on obscure and treacherous, and especially likes to use uncommon words.

    In the early years of Chongzhen, there was a lack of success, and it belonged to the era when the cultural atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was the most withered!

    ?The boat docked at Shitang Town, and Fei Yinghuan was holding "The Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties" in his hand. He had lost interest in visiting friends and just wanted to stay on the boat and continue reading the article.

    "Master, we're here." Wei Jianxiong reminded.

    Fei Yinghuan had no choice but to walk away with the book in his hand, wandering about the true interest of the ancient prose, his mind full of "hearing the Tao in the morning, and dying in the evening is enough".

    Zhao Han followed behind, looking at the busy wharf, dumbfounded at the moment, thinking: How many super towns are there in Qianshan County?

    Shitang Town, the largest papermaking center in the country in the Ming Dynasty!

    In this town alone, more than 10 million pieces of paper are produced every year, of which more than 300,000 pieces of memorial paper are tributes, which are specially used as memorial paper for imperial officials.

    There are tens of thousands of paper workers in the town, and at this time the entire Qianshan County has a registered population of just over 10,000.

    Arriving at the luxurious mansion outside the town, after handing over the name cards, Menzi immediately took them to the living room.

    "Brother Dazhao, which gust of wind brought you here?" Fei Zhaojia walked out of the courtyard to greet him.

    Fei Yinghuan said: "Gunzi Tongshi, let me come to your place for a walk."

    Fei Zhaojia is Fei Yinghuan's clan brother, not from the main clan of Henglin, and the characters of the two clans are not compatible.

    Shitang Fei's is also very powerful, mainly engaged in papermaking business. Fei Zhaojia's family has raised thousands of paper workers.

    After exchanging pleasantries, Fei Yinghuan couldn't wait to say: "My dear brother, let's read this book."

    Fei Zhaojia is also quite talented, but unfortunately he is only a scholar.  He glanced at the cover, then shook his head and said, "I've read this book, and it's not very helpful for imperial examination articles."

    Fei Yinghuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's true."

    The imperial examination developed to the end of the Ming Dynasty, and every sentence in the Four Books and Five Classics had been tested many times, and it was impossible to write new tricks.

    Then you can only ask for strange things blindly, the more strange you are, the more you will attract the examiners.

    If you can use uncommon characters, resolutely do not write commonly used characters.

    There are many ways to write a character, so choose the complicated one to write.

    However, the eight great masters in Tang and Song Dynasties are all sincere and honest, and their words and sentences are relatively straightforward.  This style of writing is difficult to imitate. Without a solid foundation and rich experience, it is easy to write mediocre and superficial.

    Imperial examination articles are most afraid of mediocrity. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, scholars simply did not read the Eight Great Masters.

    ? To be precise, the Eight Great Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties were eliminated by the imperial examination

    Suddenly, Fei Yinghuan shook his head again and said, "This is the case in the rural examination, but not in the general examination."

    "Maybe," Fei Zhaojia smiled wryly, "I haven't even passed the provincial examination, so I dare not imitate the Eight Great Masters."

    ?The whole set of imperial examination process, the rural examination can be said to be the most difficult, especially in Zhejiang and Jiangxi!

    If the scholars of Zhejiang and Jiangxi do not have outstanding talents and studies, and take the provincial examination with the writing style of the Eight Great Masters, they will undoubtedly seek their own death.

    The National Examination is different. You don't need to deliberately seek strangeness and innovation. It is a good article if you can explain the truth clearly.

    Fei Yinghuan stood with his hands behind his back: "I will cultivate the Eight Great Masters for two years

    As he was writing, Fei Yinghuan suddenly said: "I don't even need ancient prose in the Qin and Han Dynasties. I have studied them carefully. Let's start writing from the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties."

    Zhao Han immediately changed the line, and Fei Yinghuan was looking forward to it.

    "Chen Qing Biao", I have read it.

    "Preface to Lanting Collection", I have read it.

    "Return to the Home", I have read it.

    ?Writing all the way to "Beishan Yiwen", after more than ten articles, Fei Yinghuan found that he only knew one or two articles.

    Du Mu's "A Fang Gong Fu", such a famous article, Fei Yinghuan has never heard of it!

    Du Mu is not from the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

    Most retro-stylers despise the late Tang Dynasty (except for the late Tang Dynasty school), not to mention the ancient prose of the late Tang Dynasty, and even the poetry of the late Tang Dynasty seldom read.

    Zhao Han just wrote with a dull head, and he wrote hundreds of articles in a blink of an eye.  He forgot most of the content, but he remembered a lot of the title of the article, so he threw it to Fei Yinghuan to read slowly.

    Fei Yinghuan's expression became more and more horrified, and he turned his gaze from the paper to Zhao Han, as if observing a monster.

    How can it be possible for a child who has read so many articles to be just an ordinary Confucian family?

    There was no "Guwen Guanzhi" in the Ming Dynasty.

    Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, Qin Xin, Jian Dan, and Jiu Po ??are all dumbfounded standing by at the moment, they have hardly read any of them.

    brother awesome

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 046 [I can't find it even if I want to read ancient Chinese]

    ?Stay in Shitang Town for two days, stop for a while when passing through the county, and you can see Tong's test release the next day.

    The delay for several days was not because Fengzhi County graded the papers too slowly, but because there were too many students taking the exam.  There was really no room in the test booth, and there were two batches of exams before and after the county exam, and the questions for each batch were different.

    In Qianshan County, which has a registered population of less than 20,000, more than 4,000 students participated in the county examination this time.

    Do you feel weird?

    There are two opinions in the historian circle: one holds that the Ming Dynasty Yellow Book only counts adult males; the other thinks that the Ming Dynasty Yellow Book only counts adult men and women.

    No matter what kind, children are not counted, even if they are settled.

    But something is still wrong, the ratio of school children to the registered population is still not right.

    hehe.

    The government's registered population is for the central court to see. It may not have changed for hundreds of years, and it has even been declining in Qianshan County.

    Just because the population increases, the total amount of taxes must also increase.  Firstly, it is not easy for magistrates to collect enough taxes, and secondly, the amount that magistrates can retain will be reduced, and local officials will only change their yellow books when their brains are flooded.

    When it comes to actually collecting taxes, it is another system.

    In the past, it relied on grain to grow, but now it relies on interior growth.  There is no need for a household registration booklet at all. People in the village who don’t know each other have to pay taxes if they don’t have the protection of a wealthy family.

    "Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

    Although Fei Ruhe was young, he was considered to be physically strong, and he pushed the other students on the list all the way away.

    He walked to the bottom of the list and looked up——

    First place, Fei Ruyu.

    The second place, Hu Zongru.

    Third place, Fei Kai.

    Fourth place: Fei Han.

    Keep watching and reading, and he won it by himself.

    117th place: Xu Ying.

    398th place: Fei Ruhe.

    A total of 400 schoolchildren were enrolled in the provincial examination list of Qianshan County, which is about one-tenth of the reference number!

    Under normal circumstances, only a few dozen are admitted in the county test, but that only applies to normal states and counties.

    The highest record in the north is in Ruyang, Henan Province. More than 8,000 people participated in a county examination, and about 800 were admitted.

    The highest record in the south is Linchuan, Jiangxi. More than 10,000 people participated in a county examination, and more than 1,000 people were admitted.

    The schoolchildren who took part in the county examination had a lot of water, and many of them came to experience the atmosphere.

    There is no quota, usually one out of ten, if there are too many people, let the prefect have a headache.

    "Father, I've passed, I've passed!" Fei Ruhe was ecstatic.

    Fei Yinghuan was expressionless: "If you pass it, you will pass it. You don't need to take the government test. You may not even understand the questions of the government test."

    Fei Ruhe still kept fantasizing: "If you are lucky, the magistrate will give it to you."

    Fei Yinghuan's face was very ugly, he gritted his teeth and said: "The magistrate is not as easy to talk to as the magistrate, and your father has no friendship with the magistrate!"

    Fei Ruhe immediately shut up.

    Zhao Han asked: "My lord, then I don't have to go to the government for a test?"

    "You can go, or not." Fei Yinghuan asked Zhao Han to decide for himself.

    Those who are admitted in the government examination are Tongsheng, and there is still no quota for the number of students, usually one of the two is chosen.  But if there are too many candidates, it is also possible to choose one of three, one of four, and one of five.

    The difficulty of Jiangxi's hell is first reflected in the government examination. Children who have passed the county examination must be eliminated by at least three quarters.

    In other provinces and counties, the admission rate of the government examination is about one-half.

    "Then I'd better not go." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    So what if you pass the government test?

    In the Taoist test, you have to frantically brush people, Jiangxi scholars are not so easy to test!  From the county test, the government test, to the Taoist test, the three hurdles add up, and the admission rate of scholars may be less than 1%.

    Next to the admission list, there are several model essays posted, and Zhao Han's essay is among them.

    A seventeen or eighteen-year-old schoolboy shook his head and praised repeatedly: "Every man is a teacher of the world, and a single word is the law of the world. It's really amazing! I wonder which child prodigy Fei Han is?"

    "Which one is Fei Han?"

    "Which Fei Han belongs to my Fei family? We must make friends."

    "It must be me, Chen Jiangfei!"

    "Nonsense, it must be me, Shitang Fei!"

    ""

    Zhao Han hurried away and quietly squeezed out of the crowd.

    Among the countless people who looked at the list, no one found out that his article was plagiarized.

    Fei Yinghuan returned to Hanzhu Academy and immediately ran to the library to find articles.

    ZhaoJiu Po ??said: "Go around the academy and ask, who knows where I can buy Du Fanchuan's anthology, I will give him five taels of silver. If anyone can write "A Fang Gong Fu" silently on the spot, I will give him twenty taels of silver  !"

    Jiu Po ??led away, and Fei Yinghuan continued to search for articles.

    After several days of searching in this way, of the more than 100 titles given by Zhao Han, only more than 70 were found in the library, including many articles by the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties.

    Ask all the teachers and students of Hanzhu Academy, but no one can write "A Fang Gong Fu" silently.

    However, a teacher gave a clue that he had seen "Fan Chuan Anthology" in the library of Ouyang family in Taihe County.

    In order to ask for a complete "Ode to Efang Palace", Fei Yinghuan took out 50 taels of silver and said to Wei Jianxiong: "You and Qin Xin, go to Taihe County immediately, prepare gifts for your visit, and take my name card to pay a visit to Ouyang's family."  , Be sure to copy back "A Fang Gong Fu"!"

    Wei Jianxiong asked in surprise, "An article is fifty taels?"

    "It's worth it, one hundred taels is worth it," Fei Yinghuan said, "as long as you can bring the article back, no matter how much money you actually spend, the rest of the silver will belong to you."

    "Is there such a good thing?" Wei Jianxiong said happily, "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is on me."

    Qin Xin was also very happy. Wei Jianxiong was always forthright, and he would definitely get a lot of money if he went with him this time to do errands.

    Wei Jianxiong and Qin Xin left, and Fei Yinghuan continued to search hard for two days.

    Seeing that no more articles could be found, Fei Yinghuan had no choice but to go back home. He seemed to be pointing and said to Zhao Han: "Brother Han, your previous library must be much larger than mine."

    Zhao Han replied without changing his face, "My father liked to borrow books everywhere before he was alive."

    Fei Yinghuan thought for a while, then sighed and said, "Oh, I won't get to the bottom of it anymore, your ancestors must have extraordinary backgrounds. If you win the election in the future, you can change back to your original surname."

    "Thank you, my lord." Zhao Han cupped his hands and bowed.

    Some articles in "Guwen Guanzhi" are now either found in "Yongle Dadian" or lying in a certain family's library.

    Ordinary scholars, don't even think about contacting them for a lifetime.

    When Pang Chunlai learned of this, he came to visit Fei Yinghuan on the way, and asked Xu Ying to help transcribe a copy.

    There are more than 70 ancient essays, all of which are famous ones. Pang Chunlai had only read more than 20 of them before.

    It's not that I don't want to read it, it's just that I can't read it.

    After reading all these articles, Pang Chunlai called Zhao Han over: "Are these all given by your father?"

    "Yes." Zhao Han's face became thicker and thicker.

    Pang Chunlai joked: "Is your family a descendant of Zhao Song?"

    "No." Zhao Han flatly denied it.

    "It can be, it will be useful for rebellion in the future." Pang Chunlai said.

    ? Zhao Han laughed and said, "It's useless to play Zhao Song's banner. What's more, the rebellion depends on oneself. The princes and generals are kind."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Pang Chunlai laughed loudly: "If you have ambition, that's what a man should do!" He asked again, "Aren't you going to take the government exam?"

    "Can I pass the exam?" Zhao Han asked back.

    "No." Pang Chunlai shook his head.

    Zhao Han, Xu Ying, and Fei Ruhe all passed the county examination, but none of them took the prefectural examination.

    Everyone knows the difficulty of the government test.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 047 [Art of War and Martial Arts]

    "Tianchi Mountain is lush and dense, and Gao Shi opened his bamboo house to lean. After fasting, the apes offer fruit at three o'clock The dust has disappeared, and the true nature is revealed, so there is no need to hang the cassock under the pine."

    This poem was written by Fei Yuanlu, head of Hanzhu Academy, when he visited Tianru Temple two years ago.

    This temple is located at the foot of Jiuyang Mountain in the north of Hekou Town. It was first built in the Wanli period, and Fei's various sects donated a lot of money.

    ? On the eighth day of April, the Buddha's birthday, it is said that it is Sakyamuni's birthday.

    The faithful men and women in the vicinity invited to go to Tianru Temple to bathe the Buddha.  It's a pity that Wei Jianxiong was sent to Taihe County to search for books, and missed a great opportunity, otherwise he would definitely have taken the opportunity to have a tryst with Chen.

    The Guangxin government's government examination has finally begun.

    ?There were too many students applying for the examination, and the examination room could not be filled, so they took the examination in batches by counties. This is a routine practice in Jiangxi and Zhejiang provinces.

    For scholars, it is also a great time to make money!

    Each candidate not only needs a student from the county as a guarantee, but also needs a guarantor from the government to take the government examination.

    Lin students are students who can receive wages, and they are talents in the true sense.  For a government examination, each person may guarantee more than a dozen candidates, and the living expenses for this year will be covered.

    On the eighth day of April, Buddha's birthday, and the prefectural exam, Zhao Han is also eleven years old.

    Coincidentally, Zhao Han and Sakyamuni were born on the same day.

    The entire academy is on vacation, and many students are taking exams.  Many teachers also ran to Fucheng to earn guarantor money as janitors.

    In the bamboo forest.

    Xu Ying is memorizing "Mencius" silently.

    Pang Chunlai held a cane and sat cross-legged in the center: "The method of camping is nothing more than following two points. One is self-strengthening, and the other is stifling the enemy. It is just offensive and defensive. Whether to attack or defend, it depends on the actual situation"

    "Generally, when marching, you can set up camp on a high mountain. Even if you station at the foot of the mountain, you should also send people to occupy the mountain. In this way, you can guard against the enemy's sneak attack. If you can face the dangers of the mountain, face the people, and have both offensive and defensive capabilities, it is the best"

    "If there is a special military order, the main purpose is to strangle the enemy. Then the camping site should be set at the water and land key points, which is equivalent to driving nails in the enemy's back"

    "When camping, avoid water and fire. Especially in summer, don't choose a place that is low and wet, otherwise you may be in danger of flooding the seven armies. In a place full of thorns, it is easy for the enemy to sneak and attack with fire. If there is no place to choose, then  Clear the thorns and weeds outside the camp"

    "Although we should beware of flooding, we can't do without water. People rely on water to eat horses and chew. The way to find water is to observe birds and beasts. Where wild horses and yellow sheep appear and flocks of birds gather, most of them have water sources nearby  "

    Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, and Fei Yuanjian were all sitting on the ground at the moment, listening very carefully, which was much more interesting than the Four Books and Five Classics.

    After talking about how to choose a camp, Pang Chunlai suddenly said: "I will stop talking about choosing a place today, and I will talk about camping tomorrow. I will test and teach you about your arithmetic progress first."

    "ah!"

    Except for Zhao Han, everyone wailed.

    In fact, there is nothing terrible, it is nothing more than a mixed operation of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

    San Fei slowly went to solve the problem, scratching his head and fidgeting.

    Pang Chunlai ignored these students and went to read the ancient prose by himself. He liked Su Shi's "Liu Hou Lun", and immediately shook his head and recited: "The so-called heroic men in ancient times must have some virtues. If human feelings can't bear it, everyone will be humiliated."  , draw your sword, stand up and fight, this is not enough courage"

    Xu Ying is still reading "Mencius" silently. His memory is very good, and he can remember it after reading it silently four or five times at most.  Then review it every day to deepen your memory and prevent it from being forgotten after a long time.

    Zhao Han had nothing to do, so he picked up the bamboo spear beside him.

    He has practiced stabbing countless times, not long ago, Wei Jianxiong taught him the technique of parrying again.

    Blocking is much more complicated, and it must be both offensive and defensive. While blocking, be prepared to change moves and attack.

    After practicing for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Han turned his head and found that San Fei was still doing math problems. It seems that the lower grades of elementary school are difficult for them.

    Finally, Fei Yuanjian held the straw paper: "Sir, I made it."

    Pang Chunlai took a look at the straw paper and nodded in approval: "Very well done, you are making rapid progress."

    Fei Yuanjian immediately became happy. He was not as good as Xu Ying in reciting books, and Fei Ruhe was not as good in fighting. He could only study arithmetic seriously so that he could find a sense of presence.

    Zhao Han was also very happy, and shouted: "Come quickly and tell me."

    To practice parry, you can't do it alone, you have to fight with someone.

    Fei Yuanjian is a piece of trash. Fights used to depend on the number of people. During this time, he is practicing martial arts with Fei Ruhe.  He raised a bamboo stick, and Zhao Han easily blocked his attack full of loopholes.The shoulder was hit by a counterattack.

    "Again, there is a problem with your center of gravity, so don't take too many strides." Zhao Han corrected his mistake.

    Fei Yuanjian's progress is still very fast, and he corrects it through duels, and he doesn't have so many vain moves.  After adjusting his pace, his shot was much more stable, but Zhao Hange opened his weapon again, and Zhao Han's counterattack hit his waist.

    Fei Ruhe glanced towards the battle place while doing the questions, wishing he could join immediately.

    "Can't do it?" Pang Chunlai asked with a smile.

    Fei Ruhe scratched his head and said, "Sir, this question is too difficult."

    "Nonsense!"

    Pang Chunlai picked up his crutches and drew a line on the ground: "The main force of our army has traveled 300 miles, marching 50 miles a day. The reinforcements are rushing 80 miles a day"

    Fei Ruhe looked at the two line segments on the ground, and muttered: "If you draw the picture earlier, I would have made it earlier."

    "Can't you draw pictures yourself? Have I ever taught you!" Pang Chunlai reprimanded.

    Fei Ruhe was in a hurry to fight, so he said: "Sir, if you ask the same question again, I will definitely be able to solve it."

    Pang Chunlai casually changed the content of the topic, threw it to Fei Ruhe and said, "Let's do it!"

    Possibly due to the attraction of being eager to practice martial arts, Fei Ruhe seemed to have suddenly enlightened. He drew lines with bamboo branches and quickly solved this chasing problem.

    He threw down the pen and paper, picked up his weapon, laughed loudly and said, "I'll come too!"

    Fei Chun finally finished the problem and joined the battle group with sticks in hand. The four of them were divided into two groups for a big scuffle.

    And Xu Ying, still not squinting, continued to read "Mencius" silently.

    Pang Chunlai watched quietly. His eyesight was very poor, and he could only see a few people nearby.  But he was in a very happy mood, stroking his beard and smiling all the time, as if seeing the day when the rebellion succeeded.

    This bad old man is very bad. When he was alone with Fei Yuanjian, he instilled negative thoughts in various ways to lure Fei Yuanjian to be hostile to his family.

    Because of his mother's suicide, Fei Yuanjian hated his tribe deeply.  Being induced by Pang Chunlai in this way, his mentality gradually changed, and he focused on seeking revenge from his clansmen.

    After a fight, everyone was exhausted.

    Fei Ruhe sat down and gasped, "When we grow up, why don't we set up a cottage on Ehu Mountain. I will be the owner of the village, Zhao Han will be the second leader, Yuanjian will be the third leader, and Xu Ying will be the military advisor"

    "Master, what about me?" Fei Chun interrupted anxiously.

    "If you are the shopkeeper, you will be in charge of the food and clothing in the village, as well as making ordnance." Fei Ruhe said.

    Fei Chun immediately became happy: "Then I will be the shopkeeper." Then he was puzzled, "The northern foot of Ehu Mountain is our family, and the rest of Ehu Mountain is mostly Fei's other clan. Who should we rob?"

    Fei Yuanjian said suddenly: "Just rob Fei's family, rob the rich and give to the poor!"

    "Yes, Fei's family has a big business, so it's nothing to be robbed a few times." Fei Ruhe said foolishly.

    Fei Chun came up with an idea: "Let me see, first grab Shitang Town, the paper mill there makes a lot of money!"

    "Steal them all, whoever owns them." Fei Ruhe said, patting his belly.

    Qianshan paper has a complete range of dozens of types, and Shitang Town is the best for Zouben paper, and there are several other papermaking bases like this.

    In addition, there is also a tea production base, and the lead mountain river black tea is sold all over the world.

    Zhao Han said in a joking tone: "What's the point of robbing the rich and helping the poor? It's better to raise the flag and rebel."

    Fei Ruhe was taken aback, stuck out his tongue and said, "That's not okay, you'll lose your head. There are so many good men in Liangshan, why haven't they been recruited by the court?"

    "I'm just talking, haha." Zhao Han laughed.

    Fei Chun said in a low voice: "Brother, you can't say such things indiscriminately. I heard that the nine clans will be punished for treason."

    "Fucking the Jiu Clan," Fei Ruhe said disdainfully, "When King Ning rebelled, if he really killed the Jiu Clan, my mother's family would have been gone long ago. How can I still sit here and talk to you?"

    Fei Ruhe's mother was from the Lou clan of Jiujiang, which was the wives of King Ning.

    Fei Chun patted his heart, with lingering fear in his heart, he said, "It's fine if you don't punish the Nine Clans."

    Fei Ruhe scolded: "What are you talking about? Is it possible that you really want to rebel?"

    Fei Chun suddenly realized: "That's right, I won't rebel, so I don't care which clans he punishes."

    A few kids were talking nonsense, Zhao Han smiled and sat next to Mrs. Pang.

    Pang Chunlai said in a low voice: "I saw the pond newspaper in the first month yesterday. The emperor ruled that Wei Zhongxian had conspired against him, and he seemed to be going into prison. There are internal and external troubles, and there is another court dispute. It seems that the world is really in chaos."

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "If Jiangxi wants to be in chaos, there must be catastrophes year after year."

    "That's true. I'm afraid there will be no chaos in Jiangxi," Pang Chunlai said. "In a few years, when you grow up, maybe we can go to the north."

    "Let's talk about it later." Zhao Han was not in a hurry.

    He has just turned eleven years old, and he is only twelve years old these days.

    What can a little kid do?

    The most urgent thing is to seriously hone your skills and make some friends by the way.?? Disaster is impossible.  "

    "That's true. I'm afraid there will be no chaos in Jiangxi," Pang Chunlai said. "In a few years, when you grow up, maybe we can go to the north."

    "Let's talk about it later." Zhao Han was not in a hurry.

    He has just turned eleven years old, and he is only twelve years old these days.

    The most urgent thing is to seriously hone your skills and make some friends by the way.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shallows 048 [Xiaye?  Bandits?  Strong man?  】

    At the beginning of May, the road test released the list.

    A total of 21 scholars were admitted in Qianshan County, and Hanzhu Academy accounted for 4 of them.  None of the private schools at the foot of the mountain were admitted, and they all came from the academy halfway up the mountain.

    Among the four newly released scholars, only one was named Fei, and the rest were all descendants of foreign surnames.

    The school immediately resumed classes, and for lunch, a group of schoolchildren came in surrounded by Fei Ruyu.

    "Which family does this Fei Ruyu belong to?" Zhao Han asked curiously, "I have never heard of it before, but suddenly I got the top spot in the county examination."

    Fei Yuanjian sneered: "My second nephew's family must have bribed the county magistrate."

    If you get the first place in the county examination, you will definitely be admitted in the prefectural examination, otherwise, the magistrate will not give face to the magistrate.

    Therefore, bribing the county magistrate to be the head of the case will surely lead to promotion to Tongsheng!

    Fei Ruhe also sneered and said, "What's the air? It's just that you got a child, and you're like a scholar."

    "Why are scholars so easy to test?" Fei Yuanjian began to gossip, "I heard that this year's Jiangxi inspector is a very famous Confucian. His name is Cai What is Cai?"

    Xu Ying interrupted suddenly: "Cai Maode."

    "Yes, it's Cai Maode!" Fei Ruhe also joined the discussion, "My father said a few days ago that this Cai Tixue is a real and honest official. Anyone who tried to cheat in the Taoist exam this year was found out. I want to spend money to buy it."  Cai Tixue drove away all the scholars. In the spring, he was invited to give lectures at Bailudong Academy. Thousands of scholars attended the lectures.  "

    Is it so awesome?

    Zhao Han seems to have some impressions, and it seems that this is the first time he has heard of it.

    Zhao Han was chatting at the table, and Fei Ruyu sat down at the other table, surrounded by schoolchildren and flattering.

    "First in the county test, and passed the government test, it's really a fluke," Fei Ruyu was still very modest and low-key, he asked a clansman next to him, "How did the eighth brother pass the government test?"

    Tong Sheng, who was called the eighth younger brother, burst out laughing: "It's scribbling, thanks to the help from the neighbor."

    Fei Ruyu was surprised and said, "Did the neighbor help you solve the problem?"

    The eighth brother shook his head and smiled, "Hey, my neighbor broke half of it for me."

    "Let's talk about it." Fei Ruyu was quite curious.

    The eighth brother himself thought it was funny: "The magistrate is a lunatic, and he made me look stupid even if he came up with a question."

    Fei Ruyu said: "I know, it's the 'Wang Ru is lustful, the minister of the king, entrusts his wife and friends'. How did you solve the problem?"

    The eighth brother said: "I kept chanting 'The minister of the king entrusts his wife' and tired of the students sitting next to him. Then the man said 'entrust his friend instead of the king, the king is also lustful'. I quickly copied it, and this  Passed the government test!"

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    All the schoolchildren couldn't stop laughing.

    Xu Ying looked strange, and said in a low voice: "If this person can pass the government test, he must have bribed the prefect, or at least bribed the prefect's teacher."

    Zhao Han exclaimed: "Jiangxi's imperial examination is so difficult that this kind of question is asked in the government examination?"

    The prefect is a bastard!

    Pull together the two passages before and after "Mencius King Hui of Liang" after being separated from each other.

    The general idea of ??the two paragraphs of the original text is: the ruler can make the people live a good life, so it is not shameful to be lustful, it is just human nature Some people entrust their wives and children to their friends, but they go on a trip by themselves, and when they come back, they find their wives and children are starving  Frozen.  How should such a friend be treated?

    And the eighth younger brother's question is completely off the mark, which means: the courtiers did not entrust their wives to the king of Qi, but to the friends of the king of Qi, because the king of Qi is lustful.

    Then, this person was admitted as a child student

    Heck, he didn't pay a bribe!

    After lunch, Fei Ruyu and the eighth brother were surrounded by their friends and went up the mountain.

    Even if you don’t pass the exam, as long as you can be a child student, you can leave the private school at the foot of the mountain and go to the academy halfway up the mountain to study.

    If it weren't for the incorruptibility of Cai Maode, the vice envoy of Tixue, these two guys would probably be able to directly get the fame of a scholar by secretly using money!

    At this moment, Cai Maode is writing a memorial. He wants to impeach the prefect of Guangxin for making out the exam questions and deliberately leading the candidates into the ditch.

    Why mess up the question?

    Most of the candidates were confused, and all of them were messed up in the exam, so that dozens of them could be easily recommended, and no evidence of imperial examination fraud could be found.

    After this incident, Zhao Han completely stopped thinking about the imperial examination.

    "Don't worry about them, let's practice martial arts!" Fei Ruhe laughed.

    Fei Yuanjian said: "Yes, yes, practice martial arts!"

    Fei Ruhe selected more than a dozen private school children, and editedThe military formation that Mr. Lian just taught is as high-spirited as a general.

    The schoolchildren were forced by his prestige and found it fun to train soldiers and fight wars, so they were all in high spirits at first.

    But on the second day, half of the schoolchildren had problems, either diarrhea, or a cold and fever, and they just didn't come to practice anyway.

    It's been so hard!

    Fei Ruhe was furious: "If you dare to fool this young master, I will beat them to death!"

    Zhao Han hurriedly pulled him back, and said with a smile: "If you don't want to, so what if you want to train soldiers? These people can't count on them, so let's practice by ourselves."

    In the next few months, nothing happened.

    Zhao Han studied, practiced martial arts, and learned the art of war every day, and his friendship with Xu Ying and San Fei became closer.

    Fei Yuanjian had a new book boy, who was chosen by Mrs. Chen.  The book boy's name is Fei Yu, he is smart and quite sensible, so three fees became four fees.

    Zhao Han began to grow taller, growing six centimeters in half a year.

    In the winter of this year, a strong man suddenly came to Mount Hanzhu, followed by two strong men, one black and one white.

    "Fourth Uncle, why did you go back to Qianshan Mountain?" Fei Ruhe was ecstatic.

    Fei Yinggong said: "The family and the country are important!"

    Fei Ruhe said: "Fourth Uncle, I have met some good brothers, and I will learn from you to be a chivalrous man in the future."

    "You get a bowl of water first, I'm thirsty." Fei Yinggong's mouth was dry.

    The uncle and nephew went to the dormitory, which surprised Zhao Han.

    One of the entourage brought by this fourth uncle was a black man, a ghost slave who was sold to China by Portugal!

    (Ghost slaves are the black servants of Fanguo. The wealthy people in Guangzhong have a lot of ghost slaves. They are extremely powerful and can bear hundreds of catties. They can't understand their speech and desires. They are pure in nature and don't flee. They are also called savages. Their color is as black as ink.  Red lips and white teeth, curly and yellow hair, male and female.)

    Daming is the most important importing country of black slaves in the entire East Asia region. Rich people buy more slaves to look after their homes instead of farming and picking cotton.

    The black slaves around Fei Yinggong were more than 1.8 meters tall. They were obviously carefully selected, and the purchase price was extremely expensive.

    "Meet fourth uncle!" Zhao Han cupped his hands and bowed.

    Fei Ruhe introduced: "This is Zhao Han, father's adopted adopted son, also called Fei Han."

    Fei Yinggong poured a bowl of clear water, nodded to Zhao Han, and said, "I'm going to the mountain, you can play by yourself."

    Fei Ruhe hurriedly asked: "Fourth Uncle hasn't been home for several years, why did he run up the mountain as soon as he came back?"

    "Something has happened." Fei Yinggong said as he walked.

    "What's the big deal?" Fei Ruhe hurriedly followed.

    Fei Yinggong said: "The Tartars broke through, and the imperial court was at a loss. They rushed to call King Qin for eight hundred miles. Governor Wei is summoning the army of King Qin in Jiangxi. I will go back to Qianshan to recruit soldiers from the Fei family. None of Fei's sects will join his mother."  I am willing to serve the king, and only send a few taels of silver to support military expenses. I will come to the academy to try my luck and see if I can recruit some people with lofty ideals."

    Zhao Han was very surprised, and also chased after him and asked, "When did it happen?"

    "Just last month," Fei Yinggong didn't bother to say more to the child, "I won't tell you, I have to go up the mountain quickly!"

    Although Wei Zhaocheng, governor of Jiangxi, was greedy and incompetent, in the winter of the second year of Chongzhen, he was the only local governor who was ordered to serve the king in the entire southern region.

    At least, sincerely commendable!

    Watching Fei Yinggong go up the mountain, Zhao Han couldn't help asking: "What does your fourth uncle usually do?"

    "Great hero!" Fei Ruhe was so triumphant that he felt honored with You.

    In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, due to the fierce social contradictions, the thought of "chivalry" became popular and developed abnormally.

    For example, in the first year of the apocalypse, Nanzhi Jieyuan Chen Zushou was already raising chivalrous men.  When he became a doctor in the Ministry of War, he made friends with more than a thousand strong men, all of whom were "Heroes of Yuyang".  After his death, someone wanted to recruit these knights.  Those knights said, "how can I pay my respects to the officials if I wait for righteousness to die for Mr. Chen?"

    Another example is Yin Geng, the deputy envoy of military preparations during the Jiajing period, who had no money to go to Beijing for a test. He won ten taels of silver by fraudulent gambling, and bought a bad horse to go north.  Just a hundred miles away, you get a good horse.  As far as the capital, he was covered with money, all gifts from thieves along the way.

    There is also Liu Tao, the censor of Zuodu during the Jiajing period. When he was sent to Shandong, the bandit leaders of the Central Plains defected one after another, and he went to Jinan Mansion with him to take office.

    Shoufu Gao Gong's elder brother Gao Jie, a young Ren Xia, even after winning the imperial examination, he also robbed the business with a group of thieves.

    Wang Yangming's apprentices and grandchildren have even produced a bunch of heroes.

    These people are usually great Confucianists, and they take their disciples to give lectures everywhere, often attracting thousands of people.  Many thieves and knights came to join him, worshiping him as his disciples, and great Confucians turned into the leader of knights.

    Cui Chengxiu, the leader of the five tigers of the eunuch party, made friends with many heroes when he was patrolling Huaiyang. He released the robbers arrested by the local government after paying two thousand taels of silver.

    Fei Yinggong, the fourth young master of the Fei family, is a "Confucian man".

    This guy is carrying a book of sages on his body, and he wanders around in the name of studying abroad.  He sometimes visits famous teachers to study, and sometimes makes friends with bandits to rob him. He has become famous in Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces, and many local officials respect him very much.

    This time Qin Wang, he brought hundreds of bandits, and they have been put under the command of governor Wei Zhaocheng.

    When the country is about to perish, there will be evildoers!Confucianism turned into a knight-errant leader.

 Volume 1 Sleepy Shoal 049 [King Qin?  farce!  】

    In the evening, after school.

    Pang Chunlai was packing up his textbooks, when Zhao Han suddenly walked over and said in a low voice, "Sir, the Tartars have broken through, and the imperial court hastened to summon King Qin."

    "What?" Pang Chunlai suddenly raised his head with an expression of disbelief.

    Although Pang Chunlai was from Liaodong, although his family was ruined and his homeland was lost, in Pang Chunlai's mind, the post-Jin regime was nothing to be afraid of, at most it was just a Tatar and Oirat.

    He has always believed that even if the Ming Dynasty was about to perish, it would be due to government corruption and peasant uprisings, and there was no hope for the Later Jin regime.

    This is because Liaodong is also plagued by small glaciers, and social productivity cannot develop at all.

    Moreover, the Houjin regime had a loose structure and the Eight Banners system was not perfect, just a bunch of barbarians who only knew how to rob.  They not only robbed the Han people, but also robbed other tribes, and the savage Jurchens were robbed miserably.

    Really, the ethnic minorities in Liaodong are constantly resisting because the post-Jin rule was too brutal.

    Even the tribes that surrendered to Houjin will be conquered twice or three times, which is simply inexplicable.  If there is a shortage of food, they will go to grab food, and if there is a shortage of people, they will go to grab people. Many savage Jurchen tribes miss Daming.

    When Pang Chunlai left Liaodong, the Houjin regime was already showing signs of internal collapse.

    However, he was slow in obtaining information. He didn't know that Huang Taiji came to power and implemented a set of "Tian Cong New Deal", which brought Hou Jin back from the brink of collapse.

    The Houjin at this time, and the Houjin when Pang Chunlai was in Liaodong, have undergone a qualitative mutation!

    Zhao Han said: "The Tartars have really broken through, and the governor of Jiangxi intends to serve King Qin."

    Pang Chunlai shook his head again and again, and complained: "Jiangxi Qin is a fart king. When Wei Zhaocheng arrived in the capital, the tartars were all robbed and returned home. This fight is a good idea. One can use the name of Qin Wang to make money, and the other is to show off your own reputation.  Loyal and brave. At that time, there is no need to fight a single battle, and you can get money and be appreciated by the emperor."

    "It's really a little clever." Zhao Han admired it from the bottom of his heart. No wonder Wei was able to advance to eight levels in a row.

    Pang Chunlai thought carefully, and said: "First, the Tartars will definitely not be able to break through the capital; second, the prefectures and counties in the capital will be ravaged; third, Yuan Chonghuan, the Liaodong economic strategist, will be in trouble; fourth, the Donglin Party cabinet may fall.  "

    Zhao Han looked at the master, couldn't hide his surprise, and said in his heart that he was awesome!

    All the information about Pang Chunlai came from the Tang newspaper. The Tang newspaper in May this year completely exposed Chongzhen's political intentions.

    The emperor took advantage of the opportunity of the Jingcha to demote, dismiss, release, and dismiss nearly two hundred officials in the capital, and promoted dozens of officials of science and Taoism. In addition to cleaning up more than two hundred eunuchs before, Chongzhen has completely controlled the court.  situation.

    At least, Chongzhen felt that he had controlled the situation.

    The next step is to clean up the Donglin Party cabinet, and the Tartars broke through just to provide sufficient reasons.

    Chongzhen really wanted to work hard, and couldn't wait to sweep away the decline, but it was a pity that the steps were too big.  Many of the young officials he promoted only know how to talk about it, and they are not as good as the Donglin Party in terms of ability.

    The two masters and apprentices sat and looked at each other, silent.

    Suddenly, Zhao Han asked: "Sir, what is a chivalrous man?"

    Pang Chunlai said disdainfully: "It's just someone who breaks the law and violates the prohibition. There is nothing to redeem."

    "Brother, it's time to eat!" Fei Chun shouted suddenly.

    "Come on!"

    After dinner, Zhao Han went straight back to the dormitory, sat there in a daze after studying ink.

    He suddenly wanted to write martial arts novels, and the general plot was copied, with various private goods mixed in.  It is necessary to promote the feelings of the family and the country, to promote the integrity of the nation, and at the same time call on those knight-errants to serve the country and the people.

    The writing should not be too formal, otherwise the general public will not be able to read it.

    The style of writing should not be too modern, otherwise it will not conform to the reading habits of the ancients and will be considered vulgar.

    The writing style of "Water Margin" is just right.

    The most suitable adaptations are naturally "Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of Condor Heroes".

    But when Zhao Han studied ink, he found that he seemed to have forgotten the plot, and he seemed to remember a lot, and he couldn't tell the difference between the novel and the various TV series.

    But no matter what, most of the miscellaneous supporting roles in it must have been forgotten, so they can only make up by themselves.

    There is also the gang of beggars, it can't be written too decently, who let the brothers and sisters be bullied by beggars!

    However, it is said that the fourth young master, Fei Yinggong, failed to recruit soldiers in his hometown, so he went straight to Nanchang with the money, and found that Wei Zhaocheng had already led the troops to set off.

    He hurried on, and finally caught up in Nankang Mansion.

    The General Soldier of Jiangxi happened to be ill and lay in Nankang Mansion, refusing to leave.  After a delay of many days, Wei Zhaocheng couldn't wait, so he led the army himself.Continue to set off.

    The Southern Jiangxi General Soldier did not come, saying that the banditry in Southern Jiangxi was serious and he could not leave for a while.

    Governor Wei Zhaocheng had only 2,000 tofu soldiers provided by Nanchangwei, and he had recruited more than a thousand Xiangyong and more than a hundred bandits brought by Fei Yinggong.  Traveling all the way by boat, together with boatmen and sailors, the force barely reached 4,000.

    They didn't bring much food and grass, and they ran out of supplies on the way halfway.

    Fortunately, he ran fast by boat, and after arriving in Nanjing, Wei Zhaocheng got funding from Chen Yuting.

    Chen Yuting is a leader of the Donglin Party and Wei Zhaocheng's mentor. At this time, he is officially worshiping the Yushi of Nanjing Youdu.  Moreover, hosting the Nanjing Jingcha for two consecutive years is a worthy faction.

    After getting some grain and grass in Nanjing, King Qin's army continued on their way. When they passed Huai'an Chaoguan, they were actually asked for tolls by the gatekeeper.

    The generals and soldiers were overjoyed, took the opportunity to turn their faces, and robbed Huai'an Wharf.  And before the Cao Cao army had assembled, they ran away in a hurry, and everyone made a fortune because of it.

    Chongzhen three years, early February.

    Jiangxi King Qin's army arrived in Dezhou by boat and encountered a large number of bandits from the White Lotus Sect.

    There is no cheating this time, there are real White Lotus Sect bandits.

    ?Because the Tartars broke through and entered, Beizhili was in chaos, and all states and counties were looted by Tartars and government troops.  The Bailian disciples took the opportunity to create chaos, stretching across the three provinces of Beizhi, Henan, and Shandong, blocking all the water transportation channels.

    Wei Zhaocheng was a little scared and wanted to return to Dongchang Mansion.

    However, Fei Yinggong was eager to try: "Don't panic on the stage, wait for me to kill the thieves!"

    "You can't be a virtuous brother. The thieves are so numerous that they may be difficult to defeat." Wei Zhaocheng hurriedly dissuaded him.

    "Some thieves, what are you afraid of?" Fei Yinggong laughed.

    That night, Fei Yinggong personally led more than a hundred thieves and bandits, and selected two hundred village braves, promising them gold and silver, and went ashore to attack at night.

    The Bailian Cultists outside the city were in chaos, and the governor of Dezhou took the opportunity to lead troops out of the city to defeat tens of thousands of Bailian Cult bandits—in fact, a group of refugees who had just taken up arms.

    Wei Zhaocheng rewarded the soldiers and selected young and strong captives as soldiers. The strength of King Qin's army in Jiangxi reached 5,000.

    By the time they arrived in Tongzhou, the war had long since ended, and the Tatars returned to Liaodong after looting.

    Jiangxi King Qin's army was asked to withdraw from Beizhili immediately.

    That bastard court did not give rewards, nor did they provide military rations.

    However, Wei Zhaocheng only knew how to bribe the ministers of the DPRK and Central Committee, to confirm his meritorious service as king, and to reward several generals by the way, regardless of the life and death of the soldiers under his command.

    On the way back, the army ran out of food and grass in Shandong, and angrily disembarked and plundered villages and towns.

    Just snatch it all the way back!

    This time Qin Wang is like a farce.

    Zhang Honggong, the general soldier of Shanxi, was ordered to serve as King Qin. He was stationed in Tongzhou on the first day, Changping on the second day, and Liangxiang on the third day.

    The defense was changed so frequently because the imperial court did not need to provide food and grass on the day the army arrived.

    Soldiers from Shanxi traveled thousands of miles to rescue them, and changed defenses in three places in three days, but they didn't get a single ration.  The soldiers were angry and looted the villages and towns, and the imperial court imprisoned the governor and chief soldier of Shanxi.  The 5,000 elite frontier troops dispersed in a hurry. After fleeing back to Shanxi, they either joined the peasant army or occupied the mountains as bandits.

    Wu Zimian, the general soldier of Yansui, in the name of King Qin, blackmailed the sergeants who refused to join the guard, withheld food and salaries, and stole and sold military horses.  During the march, most of the soldiers fled, and the governor Zhang Mengjing died of grief and anger.

    Gansu King Qin's army, because they did not receive the departure fee, was urged to march in a hurry by the chief, and the soldiers and horses were exhausted.

    As a result, a mutiny broke out in Gansu Town. The soldiers killed the chief officer, robbed food and salaries, and returned to their hometown.  They were suppressed halfway, some continued to serve as kings, and some returned to their hometowns to guard the border.

    This series of coquettish operations not only failed to kill the Tartars, but also collapsed the Northwest Frontier Army.

    The elite frontier troops in Shanxi and Shaanxi were wiped out, and peasant uprisings spread rapidly.

    Even, the main force of the rebel army in some places was the fleeing frontier army.  The elite frontier troops participated in the uprising, which greatly increased the combat power of the peasant army, and they were no longer chased and beaten like last year.

    The sky has changed in the north, but the south of the Yangtze River is still prosperous.

    Although Jiangxi suffered minor disasters, it is still normal on the whole, except that the summer grain harvest is slightly poor.

    Zhao Han still reads, practices martial arts, and learns the art of war every day. By the way, he will write "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in the style of "Water Margin".

    When King Qin's army returned to Jiangxi, Zhao Han was already twelve years old, thirteen years old.

    There are still fourteen years left before Chongzhen hanged himself!

    (End of the first volume

 Volume 2 Yang is Down 050 [Why don't you die?  】

    Autumn of the fifth year of Chongzhen.

    The drought in Jiangxi two years ago seems to have eased, but the bandits in the mountains have not yet been wiped out.

    Ehu Town, full of business and travel, is still so prosperous.

    Fei Yinghuan had bid farewell to his parents and brothers at home, but his wife and children sent him to the pier all the way.

    Wei Jianxiong stood quietly beside the young master with a wrought iron rod on his back.

    Before leaving, Fei Yinghuan looked at his seventeen-year-old daughter and told his wife, "You should pay more attention to Rulan's marriage. You don't have to be in the same family, as long as you have a good character, don't worry about others' gossip."

    Lou sighed and said, "I'm afraid it's the old man who won't."

    "Leave him alone, if he refuses to cook raw rice and cooked rice, he has to admit it!" Fei Yinghuan still spoke so casually.

    "Daddy, don't talk nonsense, what about cooking raw rice"

    Fei Rulan blushed a little, but also complained a little: "It's about the style of the Fei family. It's just that the daughter doesn't marry. Anyway, I can't let Sangzi laugh at me."

    "Nonsense!" Fei Yinghuan reprimanded immediately, "You are young, so is it possible that you will be a widow all your life? After I take office, I will also pay attention to young talents. I must find you a good husband!"

    Fei Rulan's fiancé died, and she planned to return to her hometown to get married as soon as her term of office expired, but she died last year under the knife of the peasant army.

    Fei Yinghuan had always disagreed with this marriage, and it was arranged by the old man of the Fei family forcibly.

    After hearing her father's words, Fei Rulan was quite moved, and she only hoped to marry a good husband and leave this suffocating lead mountain far away.

    After talking about his daughter, Fei Yinghuan looked at his son again.

    Fei Ruhe was already fifteen years old, he was born tall and big, he didn't look so fat, but he still looked burly.

    "You" Fei Yinghuan had thousands of words in his heart, and finally turned into a sigh, "You should practice martial arts well, and I will donate a martial arts post to you in the future."

    After the Tatars broke through the customs, due to financial constraints, buying officials has been legalized.

    The imperial court allowed donations of money to be an official, but generally there was no job but good quality, so they just bought an official body.

    "Really?" Fei Ruhe was overjoyed, "Daddy, I really don't need to study anymore?"

    Fei Yinghuan said with a stern face: "You have to continue to read the book, even if you take the martial arts exam, you have to pass the essay!"

    "Oh." Fei Ruhe bowed his head unhappy.

    Fei Yinghuan stroked the top of the little daughter's head again, and said softly, "Rumei, Daddy is not at home, so you have to listen to your mother. Do you understand?"

    "Well, I know." Fei Rumei nodded heavily.

    Fei Yinghuan looked at Zhao Han again: "I urged you from left to right, you finally won the Tongsheng, are you sure you don't want to take the scholar examination anymore?"

    "Then let's try it." Zhao Han replied with a smile. Anyway, he can take the test at any time, and if he can pass, he will pass.

    Finally, Fei Yinghuan said to his wife: "I finished what I wanted to say last night. You can take care of yourself at home. I will send someone to pick you up after I settle down in my job."

    "Take care." Lou wiped away tears.

    Fei Yinghuan turned to board the boat, and Wei Jianxiong hurriedly followed.

    Fei Yinghuan and Hu Mengtai both fell out of the list again last year.  Instead, Zhan Zhaoheng, who borrowed from Hanzhu Academy, was only 18 years old and won the gold list in one fell swoop!

    There is no comparison between people.

    After failing the ranking, Fei Yinghuan did not return to his hometown immediately, but went to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to search for books.

    After visiting the libraries of aristocratic families, Fei Yinghuan not only collected all the articles, but also selected more than 30 articles by himself, compiled them into "Ancient Essays" and published them in Jiangnan.

    "Selected Ancient Prose" compiled by Fei Yinghuan contains 147 ancient prose in the past.

    It's a pity that he published books at his own expense, and lacked fame. He lost all his pants, and few people bought them at all.

    ?Unexpectedly, when the time came, Qian Qianyi, who was dismissed from office and was at home, got this book from a friend.  For a while, he was introduced as a fellow, and took the initiative to make friends with Fei Yinghuan.  He also recommended big bosses for Fei Yinghuan, and only spent five thousand taels of silver to get the real shortage of the magistrate of Suqian County.

    This is a fat vacancy. Suqian is located on the north-south commercial route. If you want to buy a county magistrate, you have to pay tens of thousands of taels of silver!

    In other words, the ancient prose entries provided by Zhao Han saved Fei Yinghuan at least five thousand taels, and also helped him open up contacts with the Donglin Party.

    This alone is enough to make Fei Yinghuan pay more attention to Zhao Han!

    Watching the passenger ship go away, Fei Ruhe felt relaxed, and said with a smile, "Finally gone."

    "What did you say?" Lou frowned and glared.

    Fei Ruhe quickly changed his words: "The child is reluctant to let his father go."

    "go homeI understood, but she didn't want to die, so she said with tears, "Grandson will find a daughter-in-law and tie her hair to be a sister-in-law."

    "Nonsense!"

    Fei Yuanyi was furious immediately, and stood up leaning on his crutches: "I, Fei's daughter, have never been an aunt. It's a disgrace to the family!"

    Fei Rulan looked at the old lady: "Does grandma let her grandson die too?"

    The old lady shrank all over, closed her eyes tightly, and said again and again: "Namo Amitabha, Namo Amitabha"

    "Grandson resigns." Fei Rulan smiled with tears in her eyes.

    If you marry and then become a widow, that is a matter for the in-law's family, and Fei has nothing to do with martyrdom or not.

    But the fiancé died, and the in-law's family didn't accept it, so that was the Fei family's business!

    It's good to be able to remarry quickly, but if you still can't get married, you will be widowed in your natal family forever.  This must have been ridiculed by people, and the villagers in the village discussed: "Look at the eldest daughter of the Fei family, her husband is not filial to her in-laws after her husband dies, and she has been staying at her natal family waiting to remarry. She has no family education at all. How can she know what chastity is?  Sichun's wife!"

    Seeing that his granddaughter was about to step out of the room, Fei Yuanyi said in a deep voice, "You should do it yourself, don't humiliate your ancestors!"

    Fei Rulan froze, staggered, and burst into tears.

    All the way back to her own room, the servant girl Xiyue saw that her face was ugly, and couldn't help asking: "Miss, did you have menstruation? I asked someone to cook brown sugar ginger soup."

    "No need." Fei Rulan sat down blankly.

    Xiyue didn't dare to ask more questions, but just stood aside and waited.

    I don't know how long it took, Fei Rulan wiped away her tears secretly, and said to the maid, "Go and get a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup."

    "Oh." Xiyue trotted out.

    Fei Rulan got up and opened the closet, and found a silk that was going to be used to make clothes.

    After trying several times, Hong Ling finally passed through the beam, and tied it firmly into a knot.

    Fei Rulan hung her neck on it, terrified in her heart, hesitated again and again, and finally kicked over the stool.

    Xiyue ordered her mother-in-law to cook brown sugar ginger soup, and met a maid in the inner courtyard on the way, and chatted for a while.  She walked back slowly, and suddenly saw a person hanging in the room, she was so frightened that she rushed in and hugged him.

    "Cough cough cough!"

    Fei Rulan coughed crazily and almost suffocated.

    Xiyue held Fei Rulan in her arms and dared not walk away, she shouted in horror: "Someone is here, Miss is looking for suicide! Here is someone ?

 Volume 2: The Sun is Down 051【Blood from the Knife】

    "However, it is said that Guo Jingyi's army was besieged in the valley by the fourth Mongolian prince Tuo Lei. In the past, I said, but now the enemy is about to see it on the battlefield"

    "Torei immediately swung his sword, raised his arm and shouted: 'Guo Jing, you are already invincible, and because of the love in the past, as long as you lead the crowd to surrender, I can recommend you to be a vanguard general. Don't think about reinforcements anymore, Zuo Jin Song  The army has surrendered, and you have all been betrayed by the officials of the Song Dynasty!' When the rebel army first heard about this, their hearts were ashamed, and there was a sign of the collapse of the entire army"

    "'Don't lie, disturb our army's morale!' I saw Guo Jing soaring into the air, stomping on the shoulders of the soldiers and sweeping forward, he had already entered the Mongolian army with a flick of his fingers.  The sound of the dragon chant resounded through the valley, and dozens of Mongolian cavalrymen turned their backs on their backs"

    In the yard, Zhao Han lay down on a chair and took a nap.

    Fei Chun still played the guest role as a storyteller, reading the latest chapter frothing, while Fei Ruhe sat there listening to it fascinated.

    After reading the first chapter, Fei Ruhe suddenly threw out his palms and shouted, "You will regret eating my Kanglong!"

    "ah!"

    Fei Chun held the manuscript in one hand, covered his chest with the other, jumped up high and then fell down: "Goodgood skilluh"

    "Huh!"

    Fei Ruhe pressed his palms down slowly, exhaling to close his power.

    Fei Chun smiled and got up: "Master, does it look like I died this time?"

    "The death is not miserable enough to show my skill of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms." Fei Ruhe shook his head to express his disgust.

    Fei Chun raised the stick again: "Master, please show me how I do with the dog-beating stick."

    Fei Ruhe immediately raised his saber and started fighting with Shutong.

    It's a pity that there is a huge disparity in strength, Fei Chun only hit two sticks before being kicked flying by Fei Ruhe.

    Fei Chun clutched his stomach and crawled up. This time it was really uncomfortable, and flattered him: "Young master is very skilled, this is probably the iron broom kick of the beggar gang!"

    Fei Ruhe stood with his hands behind his back, proudly said: "This is the Whirlwind Sweeping Leaf Leg of Peach Blossom Island."

    "Someone is here, miss is committing suicide! Someone is here"

    At this moment, a shout came from the yard next door.

    Zhao Han, who was taking a nap, suddenly got up from his chair: "Go and have a look!"

    Fei Ruhe said: "It's my eldest sister's side."

    Too lazy to go out and make a detour, Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe went straight to the partition wall of the inner courtyard.  The courtyard wall was as high as one person, and with the momentum of their charge, they easily climbed up the wall, turned over and fell to the other side of the courtyard wall.

    Fei Chun followed suit, and couldn't get up halfway up the climb, so he could only jump down and make a detour.

    "What's wrong?" Fei Ruhe asked while running.

    Xiyue shouted from the room: "Miss hanged herself and was rescued by me!"

    Zhao Han rushed into the house first, and saw that the red silk was still hanging on the beam, and Fei Rulan sat beside him silently.

    Fei Ruhe asked in surprise: "Eldest sister, what are you doing?"

    Fei Rulan just shed tears, lowered her head and did not speak.

    Zhao Han turned around and asked the servant girl, "Sister Xiyue, please explain the matter in detail."

    The master died, and the servant girl couldn't please her. Xiyue said with lingering fear: "The old master sent someone to call the lady over, but I don't know what he said. The lady came back with a bad face. The lady asked me to get a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup. I went out and ordered  Mother-in-law, then I saw the young lady hanged herself."

    The facts were clear, and Zhao Han felt sick for a while!

    At this moment, the maids and women in the inner courtyard also rushed over after hearing the news, and they were too surprised to speak when they saw the situation.

    "Like a crane!" Zhao Han shouted.

    "What?" Fei Ruhe turned around.

    Zhao Han said: "Madam has not been gone for long, she may have just passed Hekou Town. You and Fei Chun, take a boat to catch up immediately!"

    "Okay!" Fei Ruhe suddenly came to his senses.

    In this conversation, I don't know who is the master and who is the servant, but Fei Ruhe immediately followed suit.

    "This is the inner courtyard of the young master, you are not allowed to enter!"

    Suddenly Mo Xiang's scolding sound came from outside, Dong Fu and other maidservants went out to check the situation.

    Zhao Han said to Xiyue: "Look at Miss, don't let her do stupid things again."

    "Yeah." Xiyue nodded repeatedly.

    Zhao Han ran out quickly, only to see a group of strange house slaves standing at the gate of the inner courtyard, blocked by people led by Mo Xiang.

    Before Fei Ruhe had time to leave, he asked, "What are you doing here?"

    A domestic slave replied: "We heard that something happened to the young lady, so we came over together to take a look. It seemed that someone shouted that the young lady committed suicide just now, but it really"

    "fart!"

    Fei Ruhe immediately, I was terrified.  "

    Zhao Han asked: "Second Miss, don't you care about your sister?"

    Fei Rumei said: "I just stayed with my sister for a while, but she just cried and didn't talk to me."

    "Go quickly, or the eldest lady will seek death again." Zhao Han threatened.

    Fei Rumei was really frightened: "Thenthen I will go to accompany my sister, you stay here and don't let bad guys come in."

    The two little girls quickly ran into the inner courtyard.

    Not long after, the servant of Zhongqinyuan reported that the old man had sent his confidants to fetch people.

    Zhao Han rushed there immediately, and before he entered the courtyard, he heard a house slave yelling arrogantly: "Quickly release him, he has the guts of a bear, even the old man dares to detain him!"

    The servants of Zhongqinyuan did not dare to speak, and at the same time they did not dare to release them.

    Madam Ling quickly smoothed things over with a smile: "It's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding, just let him go."

    "Clang!"

    Zhao Han drew his knife and walked into Zhongqin Yuan, scolding: "If you don't speak clearly, no one will leave today!"

    The old man's confidant looked at Zhao Han, frowned and asked, "Who is this?"

    Madam Ling explained: "Young Master's adoptive son."

    Ordinary adoptive son is a house slave!

    The man immediately sneered: "As a slave, you should act like a slave. We came here at the master's order, and even if the young master was in front of us, we wouldn't dare to speak like this! Come on, give this short-sighted bastard to you!"  Lord, I will give you a good beating!"

    Zhao Han continued to move forward with a knife, and the house slave on the opposite side rushed forward with a stick.

    "when!"

    After splitting the stick with one knife, Zhao Han slashed it obliquely, and the thumb of the house slave holding the stick was cut off.

    The man folded his hands and screamed, scaring the rest of the servants from coming forward.

    Didn't do anything like this, domestic slaves fight with sticks at most, how can they see blood with a knife as soon as they come up?

    Madam Ling hid in the house in fright, for fear that Zhao Han would go crazy and suddenly stab her too.

    "Since you're here, don't leave in a hurry," Zhao Han ordered, "Tie them all up and throw them into the woodshed for custody!"

    The servants of Zhongqinyuan cheered in unison, and they all took ropes to tie people up. Anyway, even if something happened, Zhao Han would stand in front of it.

    The second group of house slaves who made trouble, looked at the bloody knife in Zhao Han's hand, none of them dared to resist, and waited obediently to be tied up and sent to the woodshed.

 Volume 2 Yang is Down 052 [Squire!  Country wish!  】

    If the concubine's children are included, Fei Yuanyi has sixteen granddaughters.

    The eldest son, Fei Yinghuan, has a fierce wife and no concubines. She has one son and two daughters.

    The second son, Fei Yingqi, is a fierce wife, and does not take concubines. She has three sons and one daughter.

    The third eldest, Fei Yingke, has a weak wife, eight concubines, five sons and twelve daughters.

    The fourth eldest, Fei Yinggong, had his first wife died early, had no continuation, no concubine, and brought back an illegitimate daughter.

    Granddaughter, there is no shortage!

    Fei Yuanyi is an old scholar with a rich life in his later years. Youxi participated in literary conferences and wrote a few sour poems.

    This type belongs to the elderly literary society, often headed by official officials, and the gentry and elders are willing to be arty.  They don't drink flowers and wine very much, even if they invite famous prostitutes to play and sing, they still listen to the music seriously-the intention is powerless!

    Most of the time, wearing bamboo sticks and straw shoes, wandering in the mountains and forests, reciting poems and composing lyrics.

    Or invite friends, fish, eat wine, drink tea, listen to operas, play cards, and enjoy the old age comfortably.

    Don't think that these old guys seem to have no sense of existence!

    ? If you have successively served as magistrates, if you want to stay in the Xiangxian Temple, you must obtain their approval.

    Civil disputes are generally not reported to officials, but they are also invited to mediate and judge.

    If there are thieves or natural disasters, and the county magistrate wants to raise money and food, they are also invited to call for donations.

    Patrolling the places where the censors travel, and listening to the so-called public opinion, they often communicate with these old guys.

    Squire, country wishes!

    If you want to mix in this circle, you must first have reputation, and then talk about money.

    Fame and face are Fei Yuanyi's lifeblood and the value of his life, far more important than a direct granddaughter!

    ? Last year, when the Shanxi rebel army broke through the county seat, the county magistrate ran away quickly.

    Fei Rulan's fiancé was rather stupid, and was fooled by the rich in the city for a while, so he stood up to recruit brave men to defend the city.  After only one stick of incense, a spy opened the door to offer the city. The guy was so frightened that he turned around and ran away, and the rebel army chased him and chopped him down.

    Afterwards, the imperial court determined that he had died in the city and ordered the local government to commend him.

    When the old guys got together, someone praised and said: "Brother Zimei, you really have a good grandson-in-law. He will never retreat in a deadly battle, and he will sacrifice his life to serve the country. His Majesty has given the Jieyi Memorial Archway!"

    He does not mean that.

    Fei Yuanyi always felt harsh, and tossed and turned when he returned home. At first glance, he felt that his granddaughter was an eyesore.

    The grandson-in-law is a martyr who died for the country, and the emperor bestowed the Jieyi memorial archway.  But the granddaughter is alive and well, if she doesn't die as her husband, how can she justify it?  I'm afraid that from now on, he will be ridiculed all the time, and he will not be able to hold his head up in front of many gentry!

    In the past six months, Fei Yuanyi tried many times, but his granddaughter kept pretending not to understand.

    ? Until today, Fei Yuanyi simply said nothing, without any room for words, brought out the family ancestors, and forced his granddaughter to commit suicide

    Outside the door, a house slave paced back and forth, full of anxiety but did not dare to go in and disturb him.

    After waiting left and right, Fei Yuanyi finally finished writing, wiped his hands and said, "Old Wu, why hasn't there been a reply?"

    The house slave who was called Lao Wu hurriedly walked over and said, "Master, we can't get in to Jing Xing Yuan."

    "Can't you get in?"

    Fei Yuanyi didn't understand, and said: "I just want you to send someone to inquire about the news. If Rulan really died for her husband, I will help you deal with the funeral. If Rulan is disobedient and still refuses to die for her husband, you will come back."  That's right. What does it mean if you can't get in?"

    Lao Wu explained with a bitter face: "Master, I sent two groups of people. The first group really heard that Miss Sun committed suicide, so they rushed in to deal with it, but they were arrested and locked up in the firewood room. I sent the second group  The second call, I want to bring the person back to ask about the situation, who knows that after entering the Zhongqin Court, there is no news at all."

    "No news at all?" Fei Yuanyi still didn't understand.

    Lao Wu continued to explain: "Now at Jingxingyuan, whether it is the inner courtyard or the outer courtyard, the main entrance and the side entrances are all blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or exit. It is completely unclear what is going on inside."

    "You tell Jing Xingyuan to release him quickly!" Fei Yuanyi said angrily.

    "They didn't let it go, saying they would wait for the young lady to come back," the fifth child said aggrievedly, "It's the young master's yard, so we can't let people break the door openly."

    Fei Yuanyi said: "Just say it's the old man's order, let them release him immediately!"

    "I said it, it doesn't work," Lao Wu took the opportunity to apply eye drops, "The young master's courtyard is becoming more and more domineering, and he usually doesn't take our Gongbei Court seriously."

    Fei Yuanyi was furious, slapped the table and shouted: "It's against the sky, you take people there yourself, and if you don't open the door, just break openI took them all down and locked them in the firewood room.  "

    The servant girl Dong Fu suddenly stepped forward, whispered in Lou's ear, and recounted the whole story.

    Lou's smile applauded: "Brother Han, you are fine."

    Zhao Han replied: "It's a matter of duty."

    Lou said to the other servants: "You are also very good."

    All the servants were overjoyed, rewards must be indispensable.

    Lao Wu stepped forward and said, "Young Madam"

    "Don't worry," Lou interrupted immediately, "I haven't sorted out the matter here, so take your time one by one."

    The fifth child hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak.

    Lou suddenly yelled: "Come here, drag out that slave who eats inside and outside!"

    Who eats the inside out?

    Of course it is Mrs. Ling!

    Even if it is not, it must be, because she belongs to the old lady, so she must pack one up today and show it to the old lady and the old lady.

    Mrs. Ling was dragged to the courtyard and shouted in horror: "Madam, please forgive me, you are wronged!"

    Fei Chun was also shocked, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Madam, please forgive my mother, my mother did not collude with outsiders."

    Lou said to Mo Xiang: "Let me ask you, what are the crimes of this slave?"

    Mo Xiang didn't even need to read the manuscript, just opened his mouth and came: "I have an account book, so I won't mention the detailed account, and the odds will be erased. In the fourth year of Tianqi, Ling's greedy ink deducted forty-seven taels. In the fifth year of Tianqi, Ling's greedy ink  Seventy-nine taels were deducted. In the sixth year of the apocalypse, Ling's greed for ink deducted one hundred and twenty-five taels"

    The chief manager of Jing Xingyuan, Mrs. Ling's husband, and Fei Chun's father, Fei Lin, is not at home at the moment, and has been ordered to go to the farm to collect summer grain rent - Fei Yinghuan has a field under his name.

    Madam Ling was so frightened that she kowtowed frantically to beg for mercy.

    "Call me!" Lou shouted angrily.

    Fei Chun could only ask Fei Ruhe for help, crying, "Master, please save my mother."

    Fei Ruhe softened his heart and said, "Mother"

    "Shut up!"

    Lou yelled, and ordered: "Beat hard, it's nothing to kill or maim!"

    "AhMadam, please spare me!"

    Madam Ling let out a shrill scream, perhaps she lost her mind in pain, and finally shouted: "Young Madam, I belong to the old Madam, you can't beat me to death like this!"

    "Kill him, kill me!" Lou became more and more angry.

    Seeing that Mrs. Ling was beaten to pieces, Zhao Han stepped forward and reminded: "Madam, at least I have to show some favor to the young master."

    The young master in these words refers to both Fei Yinghuan and Fei Ruhe.

    Just because Mrs. Ling's husband is a book boy who grew up with Fei Yinghuan.  And Mrs. Ling's son is also a school boy who grew up with Fei Ruhe.

    Lou's vented his anger, and heard Zhao Han pleading, raised his hand and said, "Stop."

    Mrs. Ling was about to pass out.

    Lou asked, "Are you convicted?"

    "Convicted, guilty." Mrs. Ling said weakly.

    Lou asked again: "Who are you from?"

    Mrs. Ling wept and replied: "I was born as Young Madam's man, and I will die as Young Madam's ghost."

    Lou sneered: "Send it to treat the wounded. Withhold the monthly money of the servants in the courtyard and make it up yourself within half a month, otherwise I will sell you! As for the money you are greedy for ink, I will not pursue it   Madam Ling!"

    "Make it up, make it up, make it up for sure," Madam Ling cried out in horror, "Thank you Madam for your kindness, thank you Madam for your kindness. This servant is not Madam Ling, but this servant is just a lowly servant girl. I dare not call you Madam anymore. I dare not call you Madam  Well, I am a lowly maidservant, and this servant is a lowly maidservant. A lowly maidservant, a really lowly maidservant"

    Lou was too lazy to pay any attention to her, and ordered: "Bring out all the evil slaves in the woodshed, and I will personally send them back to Gongbei Garden!"

    A total of nineteen domestic slaves were tied up by Wuhuada, and they were all escorted out of the woodshed.

    Lou said to those house slaves: "Let's go, follow me to see the old man."

    After ordering the crowd to disperse, Lou took only one maid and walked to Fei Yuanyi's Gongbei Garden.

    She stood in the courtyard and shouted: "My daughter-in-law came to pay my respects to my father-in-law. Today, some evil slaves trespassed on my daughter-in-law's inner courtyard. I didn't know that it was my father-in-law before, but now I have interrogated them clearly. My daughter-in-law dared not make any claims, so she took them with her."  Come and hand it over to the eunuch.”

    Fei Yuanyi's voice came from the back room: "I will deal with these evil slaves myself. It's getting late, so go back."

    "Daughter-in-law resign!" Lou saluted and exited.

    "Hoo!"

    There was a muffled sound from the inner room, but it was the old man smashing something again.But the old man is smashing things again.

 Volume 2 The sun is below 053【Mandarin ducks】

    When Mrs. Lou returned to her courtyard, Dong Fu had already prepared dinner.

    Fei Rulan's whole body was in a daze, she was shocked and afraid, and also had the joy of surviving after the catastrophe.

    On the contrary, Fei Rumei was young, only knew a few things about the truth, and she had already regained her usual vivacity.

    Fei Ruhe held back his breath, clenched his fists and said, "Mother, if it's my wish, I'll beat all those wicked slaves to death"

    "Shut up, you have no place to speak here!"

    Lou stopped drinking immediately, and said to Mo Xiang, "Call Brother Han to have dinner together."

    "Yes." Mo Xiang exited the dining room.

    Lou suddenly asked her eldest daughter: "You are so obedient, and you will die if you are told?"

    Fei Rulan lowered her head and said, "Grandfather has hinted many times in the past year. Today he made it clear, daughter daughter is just afraid, and committed suicide in a muddle."

    "Since it has been hinted many times, why didn't you tell me, why didn't you tell your father?" Lou was so angry that she slapped the table, "If Xiyue returns to the room slowly, and it's too late to save you, what I'm eating right now won't be a hot meal."  ! That old thing's brain is broken, and yours is also broken?"

    Fei Rulan was pinching the corners of her clothes with both hands, as if she was counting the threads there, not daring to look at her mother.  She explained: "Afterwards my daughter also figured it out. Although I have a marriage contract with that person, he is him, and I am me. His family has returned the marriage certificate, and there is no relationship with each other. If the daughter is sloppy, she will die  Showing it to others is of no benefit to oneself, it will only make parents sad. My daughter will not do such stupid things again."

    "It's good that you can figure it out." Lou finally breathed a sigh of relief. What she fears most is that her daughter will make a fool of herself.

    "Don't move your chopsticks, wait for me to come back!"

    Lou returned to her bedroom and quickly fetched a list.

    After a while, Mo Xiang also brought Zhao Han over.

    "Greetings, Ma'am, I have met the two young ladies." Zhao Han saluted with his fists clasped.

    With a smile on her face, Lou said softly, "You've been working hard for a long time, so you must be hungry. Let's sit down and eat together."

    "Thank you ma'am." Zhao Han didn't refuse, and sat down very casually.

    Lou called Mo Xiang again: "Don't go, take this thing."

    Mo Xiang took the list and asked curiously, "Ma'am?"

    While picking up vegetables for Zhao Han, Mrs. Lou explained: "The old man wants face the most. I'm afraid he won't let it go if he loses face this time. The people on this list are all released from Jing Xing Yuan. You  Go to Haosheng to make arrangements and quickly call them back!"

    "Yes." Mo Xiang was ordered to leave.

    Just as she was about to step out of the room, she suddenly heard Lou say, "After finishing this matter, I will send someone to escort you to Suqian. The eldest and young master is an official away, and there is no one to serve him, so there must be someone who serves tea and water. If you can  After giving birth to a son, I will give you a concubine certificate."

    Mo Xiang trembled all over, turned back excitedly, and kowtowed to Lou Shiduan.

    "Go." Lou waved.

    Mo Xiang got up and quit, didn't talk nonsense the whole time, and went to work wholeheartedly.

    Lou asked Zhao Han again: "Do you know why I called everyone back?"

    Zhao Han replied, "The old man suffered a loss, and he couldn't vent his anger openly. He would definitely anger Jing Xingyuan's servants. Moreover, he can't intervene in Jing Xingyuan's affairs, so he can only do it in Fei's various properties. Daddy  The people released by the young master are all working in various properties. If the old man makes things difficult for him for a long time, he will definitely be divorced after a long time. Either he resents his wife for not being able to make decisions for them, or he will simply give up and join the old man."

    "Well said," Lou suddenly asked his son, "Can you understand the reasoning here?"

    Fei Ruhe was eating so much that his mouth was full of oil, he put down his chopsticks and said, "I understand, I think the same as Brother Han."

    Lou said with a smile: "Then let me ask you, Brother Han is facing a difficult situation today, why did you ask me to chase me back in person, and even asked you to bring Fei Chun with you instead of just sending a few servants?"

    "This" Fei Ruhe thought carefully, and replied, "It must be that Fei Chun and I have good feet and run faster than ordinary servants!"

    Lou didn't bother to look at her son again: "Brother Han, break up with him."

    Zhao Han explained: "If the young master doesn't leave, those evil slaves will definitely not dare to enter the inner courtyard again. If they don't enter the inner courtyard, we have no reason to detain them. Not to mention the disadvantages from the beginning to the end, the other party will definitely make progress.  There will be more things. The young master is gone, so that they can be lured into the trap. One punch can be avoided, so as not to avoid a hundred punches."

    "Do you understand?" Lou asked.

    Fei Ruhe scratched his head, feeling that his brain was not enough, so he said bravely, "Understood."

    Lou asked again:What about Fei Chun?  "

    Zhao Han continued to explain: "Mrs. Ling Ling's side may be disobedient. She is indeed disobedient. When I sent someone to block the door, Ling wanted to report the news, and I was almost under house arrest. If  If Fei Chunzhi is not taken away, treating his mother like this will inevitably hurt brotherhood."

    Lou asked, "Do you understand?"

    Fei Ruhe murmured, "I don't have as many twists and turns as you do."

    Lou asked again: "Why do you dare to make up your own mind and openly detain the evil slaves of Gongbei Garden?"

    Zhao Han replied: "Of course I wouldn't dare to have someone else make the decision. But the one who makes the decision here is Madam. With Madam's temper, how can I bear this bad breath? Therefore, it's not that I detain someone without authorization, but that I  Detain someone for Madam."

    Lou asked his son, "Do you understand?"

    Fei Ruhe didn't speak at all, just put his head down to pick up the rice, as if he was going to stuff his head into the bowl.

    Fei Rulan also learned everything that happened today from the maid.  It wasn't until this moment that she understood many of Zhao Han's intentions, and she kept staring at Zhao Han with her big eyes.

    As for Fei Rumei, she's a snack foodie, and doesn't care what everyone is talking about.

    The meal was almost finished, and Lou suddenly asked, "Brother Han, are you fifteen this year?"

    Zhao Han said: "The imaginary age is fifteen."

    Lou's conversation changed: "There will be no boy's exam next year, and you must pass the scholar's exam in the year after next!"

    "Try your best." Zhao Han said.

    "It's not about trying your best, you must pass the exam, and it won't be good if you procrastinate." Lou repeatedly emphasized the time.

    Zhao Han looked up at Lou's, then at Fei Rulan, pretending he didn't understand: "Try your best."

    "Oh." Lou sighed.

    Fei Ruhe was still eating, it was already the fifth bowl, and he had no idea what his wife was talking about.

    Fei Rulan blushed, peeked at Zhao Han, then quickly lowered her head to avoid it.

    After cooking, Zhao Han left.

    Looking at Zhao Han's leaving figure, Lou said to her daughter: "Although he is three years younger than you and has a low status, he is reliable. When he becomes a scholar, he will change his real name back to his original surname. It would be good if he can find a wife."  Yes. But looking at him like that, I'm afraid he doesn't want to marry, so go live your own life."

    "Mother, my daughter won't marry." Fei Rulan became more and more embarrassed.

    Lou asked with a smile: "Do you not like him?"

    Fei Rulan shook her head: "No, it's just"

    "Then it's settled," Lou scolded with a smile, "This little bastard is exquisite and cunning, and I have to work hard to convince him slowly!"

    "I listen to my mother." Fei Rulan left after finishing speaking, her face was so red that she was about to have a fever, and her little heart was pounding.

    Before this meal, Fei Rulan had no special feelings for Zhao Han.

    However, after Lou's emphasis on mandarin ducks, she immediately felt a lot of thoughts, not to mention meeting Zhao Han face to face, even thinking about it made her feel very shy.

    Fei Ruhe was dumbfounded: "Zhao Hanmy sisterthey"

    Lou sighed: "Otherwise? Rulan is too old and the widow of a loyal minister who died for the country. How can any decent family want to get married? Even if someone wants to, I'm afraid they will have ulterior motives. It's better not to marry if you marry."

    Fei Ruhe couldn't accept it and said: "He is my brother, younger than me, how can he be my brother-in-law?" The guy rolled his eyes, "It's better to be my brother-in-law, so I can also have face."

    Fei Rumei was young and shameless, clapped her hands and said: "Okay, okay, I will marry Brother Han when I grow up."

    "Nonsense," Lou raised his chopsticks to strike, and scolded, "I have no serious idea, get out of here!"

    Fei Ruhe ran away with his head in his arms, feeling very aggrieved, what the hell is a brother turning into a brother-in-law?

    Zhao Han went back to lie on the bed, also very tangled.

    To be honest, Fei Rulan is quite beautiful, she can be called Bai Fumei, but she is still a bit reluctant to marry him as a wife.

    As for why he was reluctant, Zhao Han himself didn't know.

    Two words, hypocritical!

    While thinking wildly, Fei Chun knocked on the door suddenly.

    After opening the door, Fei Chun knelt down on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you brother for pleading for my mother, otherwise my mother might be beaten to death. Great kindness, I will definitely repay my brother in the future."

    Zhao Han laughed loudly: "My brother, what are you talking about? Get up quickly."

    Fei Chun was still kneeling, holding a wine jar in his arms, held it up high and said: "This is a good wine that my father has kept privately. It has been several years, and I have been reluctant to drink it. I will use it today to honor my brother. Please don't refuse, brother.  It must be accepted."

    "Then I'll take it, let's have a drink another day," Zhao Han helped him up, patted Fei Chun on the shoulder, and instructed, "Go back and take care of your mother, she was beaten badly this time."

    Fei Chun seemed to be much more sensible, bowed his head and said, "Brother, then I'll go first, and I'll let you know if I have any orders from now on."

    (Thank you Yaodao Wanhua, thank you wardrobe guest Qing Bald Song, thank the leaders of the two brothers for their rewards, and also thank the other brothers for their rewards. Thank you, Lao Wang!)p; "Then I'll accept it, and let's have a drink another day," Zhao Han helped him up, patted Fei Chun on the shoulder, and instructed, "Go back and take care of your mother, she was beaten badly this time."

 Volume 2 The sun is under 054【Self-reliance】

    Qin Xin, Jian Dan, and Jiu Po ??have all changed jobs at this time.

    ?Because Fei Yinghuan is away all year round, the inheritance of these three titles has been broken, and no new blood will come in.

    Qin Xin changed her original name to Fei Cheng, was assigned to Jing Xing Academy, and is currently working as a library assistant.  The three major academies belong to the entire Fei family, so they were not recalled by the Lou family.

    Jiandan changed his original name to Fei Ze, and was assigned to work in the warehouse at the Ehu Wharf.

    Jiu Po ??changed back to his original name Fei De, and was assigned to work at the firm at the Ehu Wharf.

    One after another, a total of 17 domestic slaves returned, including a big shopkeeper, two second shopkeepers, and a trough manager from a paper factory.

    These people are either reserve cadres or already official cadres. They are equivalent to the family business of Ehu Fei's family, which is slowly being handed over to Fei Yinghuan.

    However, Lou chose to give up all of them!

    "when!"

    A teacup hit the ground hard, it was torn apart, and the tiles flew around.

    Fei Yuanyi was trembling with anger: "What on earth is she trying to do? Is she going to break up the family?"

    The house slaves dared not speak out, for fear of offending the old man.

    Apart from being angry, Fei Yuanyi had nothing to do.

    His original plan was just to pick some flaws at random, punish those Jing Xing Yuan's slaves, cut off Jing Xing Yuan's financial supply, and force his daughter-in-law, Lou, to take the initiative to admit his mistakes.

    Just like the emperor, he attacked the ministers of the East Palace and refused to distribute supplies to the East Palace, so as to beat the prince and princess.

    Who would have thought that before Fei Yuanyi could make a move, the Lou family would retreat strategically and recall all the slaves back to the house for later use.

    Fei Yuanyi punched the air, and Fei Yuanyi was about to vomit blood!

    The second young master Fei Yingqi rushed over after hearing the news, pretending to be shocked and said: "Father, I heard that my sister-in-law has removed all the big shopkeepers of Shangming?"

    Fei Yuanyi was still angry, stared at his son and asked, "What, do you want to take over?"

    "Don't dare," Fei Yingqi quickly denied, and then sighed, "Sister-in-law's temper is too strong, we are all a family, why can't we talk about it? You have to do it like this."

    Fei Yuanyi sneered and said, "Are you overjoyed?"

    Fei Yingqi said with a bitter face: "The father wronged the child, and the family can be prosperous. If the child is sad, it is too late. How can he be happy?"

    "It's fine if you don't have one." Fei Yuanyi sat down angrily.

    Fei Yingqi began to apply eye drops: "Sister-in-law, can't father take the initiative to be soft?"

    "Don't even think about it!"

    Fei Yuanyi slapped the armrest of the top chair angrily, apparently being poked at a sore spot by his son.

    Fei Yingqi said: "If you spend it like this according to the child's wishes, you will be unable to support it first. The servants in the sister-in-law's yard cost a lot of money to support, and they simply cut off their monthly allowance.  She withdrew all the people and lost all income from the outside, let's see how she feeds so many people!"

    "That's the only way to go," Fei Yuanyi stroked his beard and said, "Shangminghao lost its big shopkeeper, so you can take over."

    Fei Yingqi said happily: "The child will be carried first, and when the sister-in-law is subdued, she will immediately give up the business."

    "Go away." Fei Yuanyi had a splitting headache, and there was no fuel-efficient lamp at home.

    What is even more troublesome is that among the four sons, only Fei Yinghuan is more prosperous, and now he is the magistrate of a big county, and the whole family will have to rely on Fei Yinghuan in the future.

    The quarrel was so tense, I'm afraid it will be difficult to end it, and there will be another quarrel when Fei Yinghuan returns home.

    The only way is to cut off the financial supply and force Lou to bow his head and admit his mistake!

    Jingxingyuan, Zhongqinyuan, and all the servants in the family gathered.

    Fei Lin and Ling's couple, together with their son Fei Chun, are kneeling in the courtyard to wait for punishment.

    Sitting quietly for a while, Lou finally said, "Fei Lin."

    "The little one is here, Ma'am, please tell me." Fei Lin knelt and crawled forward a step.

    Lou said: "You were born as the young master's book boy. You grew up with the young master. You are called master and servant, but you are actually a brother."

    "Don't dare, dare not." Fei Lin kowtowed repeatedly.

    Lou said: "I don't bother to investigate how much money you have embezzled. I reckoned to take some out and distribute it to the brothers and sisters in the hospital. This matter will be completely exposed. How?"

    Fei Lin said gratefully, "Madam is kind."

    Lou said with a smile: "You are still the chief manager of Jing Xingyuan, and you have to restrain yourself a bit in the future. If I catch you again, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of the young master."

    "The little one will not dare to mess around again, everything will be obeyed by Madam.ordered.  " Fei Lin frantically kowtowed again, until his forehead bled profusely.

    Lou ignored this person and said, "Fei Hong, Fei Fu, Fei Xi, Fei You."

    Immediately, four people stepped forward, and the oldest was almost fifty years old.

    Mrs. Lou smiled and said: "You have been with the young master for many years, and you can all be on your own. Especially Fei Hong and Fei Fu, one is the big shopkeeper of the company, and the other is the trough manager of the paper mill. Not to mention bonuses and outside water, the monthly salary is about  There are twelve taels. Now that you are called back by me, you will lose all your power and wealth, and you may resent me in your heart?"

    "The little ones don't dare." The four quickly denied it.

    Mrs. Lou said: "I am in Jiujiang. I have hundreds of acres of good land and a few shops, all of which are dowry from my natal family. These years, I have only been taken care of by my natal family, and it has been messed up. Fei Hong, you  Bring a few people and go to Jiujiang to take over those shops. Fei You, take a few people and go to Jiujiang to take over the property!"

    "yes!"

    Fei Hong and Fei You took orders immediately.

    Lou said: "I have bought a forest at the northwest foot of Ehu Mountain. Fei Fu, if you are asked to build a new paper factory, are you capable?"

    "There must be workers," Fei Fu replied.

    "Can you dig it out?" Lou asked.

    Fei Fu replied: "You can poach people, but you don't have to poach workers from Fei's family. There are plenty of paper craftsmen in the Xinzhou government bureau."

    In the early Ming Dynasty, the imperial court set up the Xishan Official Bureau in Jiangxi, and the largest official paper mill in the country was born. The special product is "Xuande paper".

    Two hundred years later, the Xishan Mu wood was completely cut down, and the imperial court moved the paper mill to Xinzhou, which is very close to Ehu Town.

    The famous Xuan paper was stolen from the Xishan official bureau, and it was called "Jingxian paper" at this time.  Due to the increasing shortage of raw materials, it was changed to green sandalwood bark mixed with straw, and gradually evolved into Xuan paper in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

    Tang and Song Xuan paper, Xuande paper, Jingxian paper, and Xuan paper are actually four different kinds of paper, which are often confused.

    Mrs. Lou didn't understand this very well, and asked: "The artisans of the digging bureau, are they willing to come?"

    Fei Fu explained: "Corruption is rampant in Xinzhou government bureaus, and official craftsmen are reduced to private slaves. As long as we can afford the price and protect the craftsmen, I am afraid that all the official craftsmen are willing to come."

    "That's good, you can do it." Lou nodded in approval.

    The Xinzhou official paper mill has long existed in name only.

    Both output and quality have declined severely, and the profits have been put into private pockets.  When the imperial court needed tribute paper, they colluded with each other, took the opportunity to stir up trouble, disrupted the market with administrative orders, and forced private paper mills in Qianshan County to sell it at a low price.

    Fei Fu reminded: "Madam, if a new paper trough is opened, even if everything goes well, it will take half a year to produce paper. If you want to get high-quality paper, it will take more than a year."

    "It's only been a year, and I can afford it!" Lou said confidently.

    Fei Fu cupped his hands and said, "So, the little one is doing his best."

    Lou said to another slave: "Fei Xi, take a few people to take over the restaurant in Hekou Town."

    The restaurant in Hekou Town was picked up by Fei Yinghuan and originally belonged to Fei Songnian.

    After Fei Songnian died of anger, 50% of the property was donated to the academy, and 30% of the property was distributed by Fei Yuanlu.

    Among them, the restaurant was taken away by Fei Yinghuan, but the management staff did not move.

    Now that the restaurant is going from bad to worse, Mr. Lou has long wanted to rectify it, so he just took this opportunity to change the management.

    Zhao Han suddenly said: "Madam, I want to ask for an errand."

    "Let's talk." Lou said with a smile.

    Zhao Han said: "I want to be the deputy shopkeeper of the restaurant in Hekou Town."

    There is only one real shopkeeper, commonly known as the big shopkeeper.

    There can be many deputy shopkeepers, commonly known as the second shopkeeper, the third shopkeeper, and the fourth shopkeeper They are responsible for different departments.

    Lou didn't ask any more questions, but only reminded: "You can do things, don't delay your studies."

    Zhao Han said again: "I still need a few more people."

    "Choose it yourself." Mrs. Lou agreed very simply.

    (I wanted to release it regularly, but I clicked wrong, this is the chapter at noon. ?

 Volume 2 Yang in the next 055 [red oil chili]

    Dingsheng Building, a two-story wooden building, is located at the wharf of Hekou Town.

    ?Businessmen coming and going can choose the private room on the second floor.  While eating, drinking and chatting, you can enjoy the river view and observe the status of your own merchant ships.

    If you want to be more elegant, you will invite Le Hu to listen to the music and serve wine with the sound of silk and bamboo.

    ?There is also a way to enjoy both refined and popular tastes. A stage is set up on the first floor, and the troupe regularly sings——Jiangxi is an opera nest, and any large restaurant or teahouse is unqualified if it lacks a troupe.

    Early in the morning, the sky is not yet bright.

    The Dingsheng Building hadn't even opened for business, and the door panels hadn't even been removed, yet someone came and knocked on the door frantically.

    "Who is it? Here it is, here it is, don't knock any more!" The shop assistant just woke up, he took down a door panel, saw seven or eight people standing outside, yawned and said, "The cook hasn't come yet,  It's too early, everyone."

    "It's not early, check the accounts!"

    After Fei Xi (big shopkeeper) gave an order, the servants around him immediately restrained the shop assistant.

    Zhao Han, Fei Ze (Jian Dan) and Fei De (Jiu Po) quickly broke into the shop with a few servants.

    "What are you going to do?"

    "Help, robbers are robbing people!"

    ""

    A total of four shopkeepers were detained in a blink of an eye, and the entire restaurant was taken over.

    As soon as the ledger was dug out, a few more restaurant employees came, and they were all detained in the private room on the second floor, and interrogated separately about the information they knew.

    At the back door of the restaurant, some food deliverers came one after another, and they were also invited into the store to make a routine.

    A fish delivery man wanted to run away, but Fei Ze (Jian Dan) quickly caught him back.  After some inquiries, it turned out that this person was the nephew and son-in-law of the shopkeeper, who was responsible for receiving the goods from the fishermen, and then transporting them to the restaurant for sale.

    The situation of the other food deliverers is not far behind, more or less related to the management.

    The accountant Mr. Zhao Han brought is intensively checking the accounts.

    Fei Xi (big shopkeeper) said to Zhao Han: "There is a problem with the purchase price of the ingredients, at least 50% higher than the normal market price."

    Zhao Han said: "Separately interrogated and exposed each other. Those ordinary guys are only petty theft. A few cooks are the most powerful. They deliberately killed the fresh fish, or the meat was spoiled. They brought it back at night after work.  At home, sell it to the neighbors at a low price. Spices are also stolen, especially pepper. By the way, a guy confessed that the second shopkeeper in charge of the opera troupe and music troupe had a trick with those opera singers."

    "Brother, the shopkeeper is here!" Fei Ze ran over to report.

    "catch!"

    The shopkeeper of the restaurant is called Fei Zhong. He was caught in a daze just as he stepped into the shop, and he was frightened and shouted: "The hero, spare your life, the hero, spare your life!"

    A total of three shopkeepers were arrested one after another.

    Zhao Han said: "Uncle Xi, you are the shopkeeper sent by your wife, of course you are in charge of running the restaurant. As for these three people, they must be escorted to the official, and the other shop workers can hold the handle."

    "It's Brother Yihan's." Fei Xi said with a smile.

    Zhao Han called all the cooks again, a master chef, three apprentices, and a group of help cooks.

    The chef's name is Peng Zhengxiang, he is a hired worker, and he is already very old.  Unless there are VIP guests, he usually does not do it himself, and only lets three apprentices take care of the cooking.

    Zhao Han grabbed a handful of dried chilies and said with a smile: "This pepper is used up quickly. Are there many customers who like spicy food?"

    "Master, please forgive me, please forgive me!" Peng Zhengxiang quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

    Zhao Han did not mention his charges, but only asked: "Is there any pepper planted in Qianshan?"

    Peng Zhengxiang replied: "Most peppers are shipped from Zhejiang, and they are also grown locally in recent years, but not a lot."

    Simple written records about chili peppers first appeared in the 19th year of Wanli.

    The detailed text description of peppers, including the color of flowers, first appeared in the first year of Tianqi.

    That is to say, at least 30 years ago, chili was introduced into Daming.  Moreover, the real introduction time must be much earlier, it was first recorded by literati thirty years ago.

    There were two early transmission routes of pepper, one from Zhejiang and the other from Liaodong.

    Qianshan County is next to Zhejiang, and it has been exposed to peppers far earlier than Huguang, Sichuan, and Guizhou.

    "Take out all the spices." Zhao Han said.

    "Huh?" Peng Zhengxiang didn't understand.

    Zhao Han asked: "Are you discussing how much money you made, or do you want to learn cooking skills with me?"

    Peng Zhengxiang immediately shouted: "Bring all the spices!"

    The kitchen was full of panic, everyone was scared and curious.

    &nbIt sells red oil fried chicken and oil spicy rice noodles (noodles), which are said to be new dishes from the royal chef.

    Palace dishes?

    Good guy, then bring it up quickly!

    There are not enough chickens in the kitchen, and the restaurant buyers are sent to look for chickens all over the world.

    Upstairs and downstairs, unlucky diners can be seen everywhere, sitting there sticking out their tongues because of the heat.

    I only heard a strong man slapping the table and shouting: "Another plate of red oil chicken!"

    Zhao Han sat at the counter to observe the situation, and saw that this guy was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he didn't seem to be a rich man, but he ordered a table of good food and carried a stick with him.  He summoned the shop assistant and asked, "What is that table for?"

    The shop clerk replied: "They are all the leaders of the Iron Foot Society."

    "Iron Foot Society?" Zhao Han had never heard of it.

    The store clerk explained: "In the past few decades, all walks of life have established guilds. There are rice guilds in the rice industry, and cloth guilds in the cloth industry. The bitter haha ??have learned from others, and they have also formed clubs. The iron foot guild is the wharf.  The guild of coolies, and later the porters in the town also joined, and if any employer dares to default on wages, hundreds or thousands of people from the Iron Foot Society will come to the door with poles to ask for it."

    Good guy, this is the prototype of a trade union.

    Zhao Han didn't know that the various trade unions in Qianshan, especially the paper industry union, were the most powerful.

    They are all skilled workers, and the industry is densely populated, and many of them can read a few big characters.  The owner of the private paper mill had no choice but to compromise if he was treated harshly and went on strike at every turn.

    As for the official paper mills, they don't treat their employees as human beings at all, and those who dare to take the lead in making troubles are directly beaten to death or disabled - it doesn't matter if production is delayed.

    In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, paper workers in Qianshan County accounted for more than 30% of the county's population (excluding children).

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was not so powerful, but the number of paper workers was equally terrifying.  In Shitang Town alone, if you count the bamboo chopping, burning tanks, and lifting, there are 50,000 to 60,000 papermakers in one town. It can be said that the whole town revolves around the paper mill!

    Union?

    Strike?

    interesting.

    Zhao Han got up and walked over, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Guest officers, are you satisfied with the new dishes in our restaurant?"

    (Seriously consecrate a book: "Red Heart Patrol", a particularly awesome fairy tale, with more than 3 million words, it is full. ?

 Volume 2 Yang is under 056 [Club Organization]

    Zhao Han was wearing Cheng Ziyi and a happy scarf on his head. He looked like a poor scholar, and he seemed to be the son of some family.

    Wear ordinary clothes, but have temperament!

    For a while, the leaders of the Iron Foot Society couldn't figure out who Zhao Han was from.

    ?The man who had called to serve the food before couldn't help but stood up and clasped his fists, and replied: "The red oil chicken is delicious, and the young man is the young master of the Fei family?"

    "My lord, Zhao Han," Zhao Han said with a smile, cupping his hands, "I see that you are bold and bold, and you must be reputable heroes, so I came here to appreciate your demeanor."

    Surname Zhao?

    But this is Fei's restaurant.

    But it doesn't matter, Zhao Han speaks very nicely.

    The man was so flattered by the flattery that he laughed loudly and said, "My name is Sun Xianzong, and I'm usually called Sun Erlang. Please sit down, please. This is my third younger brother Sun Zhenzong, and he can be called Sun Sanlang. This is Fei Huan,  The descendants of the offshoot of the Fei family don't know how many generations have passed away, so they can only work as porters. This is Zhang Tieniu, nicknamed Little Li Kui. This is Li Dazhu"

    After the other party's introduction, Zhao Han shouted at the counter: "One more jug of wine, and this table of food, all will be credited to my account!"

    Sun Xianzong quickly said: "How can this be, we have a lot of people, so it's time for us to treat guests."

    "Yes, yes, it's time for us to treat you."

    Everyone declined one after another, guessing Zhao Han's identity, and at the same time guessing his reason for coming.

    "Snapped!"

    Zhao Han slapped the table violently, feigning anger and said, "I thought you were good guys, and you fought over the money for a meal, and you acted like a bitch!"

    Several people looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to figure out what kind of medicine was sold in Zhao Han's gourd.

    The atmosphere was a little awkward.

    Sun Xianzong smoothed things over and said: "You taught me a joke, so I won't argue with today's meal, and I will invite you to drink some other day."

    "That's right," Zhao Han picked up the jug on the table, shook it and found that there was still wine, and poured it for himself, "Come on, it's a hero, let's have a drink first."

    "Okay, it's done!" Everyone toasted and drank.

    After drinking a glass of wine, the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

    Sun Xianzong took the initiative to serve Zhao Hanman a cup, and asked: "Young Master, you seem to be a scholar?"

    Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "I only passed the Tongsheng test, so I'm not considered a scholar."

    "If you are a child, you should be a scholar. You can't be considered a scholar." Zhang Tieniu raised his glass and said, "I, Tieniu, am a rough man. Today is my luck. I can eat at the same table with my husband. Come, let me respect my little brother."  Let's have a cup!"

    "It's easy to say." Zhao Han did not refuse anyone who came.

    Sun Xianzong continued to inquire: "The shopkeeper of the Dingsheng Building has changed. Is the young gentleman a relative of the shopkeeper?"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "I am the second shopkeeper of Dingsheng Building."

    What the hell?

    This identity is beyond everyone's expectations.

    Li Dazhu hesitated and said, "Little Xianggong doesn't lookhis age."

    "I will be fifteen years old next year," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Come, come, eat meat and drink!"

    Only fourteen years old?

    Tong Sheng, fourteen years old, the second shopkeeper of Fei's restaurant, what is this all about?

    The more unpredictable they are, the more respectful these people are to Zhao Han.

    Sun Xianzong still wanted to continue to inquire, but Zhao Han didn't reveal more information, but instead turned to cover their words.

    Zhao Han said: "When I was studying scriptures at Hanzhu Academy, I already admired the name of the Iron Foot Society. Do you have to pay to join the club? How about I join one too?"

    "Little Xianggong was joking," Sun Xianzong quickly refused, "Iron Feet Society are all porters and coolies, born to be bitter haha. Xiaoxianggong is a child, and he will be the number one in the future. The Wenqu stars in the sky come down to earth, how can they mix with us."

    Zhao Han clinked another glass with everyone, patted the table and said, "Which rule stipulates that coolies should be low? Without your hard work, Hekou Town will have a lot of traffic, let the nobles carry it on board by themselves?"

    "The nobles can't afford to move, and they are afraid that they will fall into the river with their goods." Zhang Tieniu laughed, as if thinking of the embarrassment of the rich when moving goods.

    "That's right," Zhao Han said with a smile, "This Hekou is rich and rich, and it was all carried out by Lifu with sacks. Let me see, you Lifu are the nobles of Hekou Town!"

    "I dare not take it."

    Several people declined again and again, but they were very happy in their hearts, and Zhao Han became more and more pleasing to the eye.

    Sun Xianzong finally couldn't help it, and asked directly: "Young Master, you invited us to eat and drink, but what do you want?"

    "Come on, Second Brother Sun, let's go one more time."

    ? Zhao Han and Sun XianzongIf we give money, they are willing to print.  But we have to sell the printed things ourselves, and the bookstore thinks we are not well-known.  "

    ? Publish books at their own expense and be responsible for their own profits and losses.

    Fei Chun couldn't help but said: "Brother, can the ten-day periodical be sold? Let me read it. It's better to print the novel directly. "Legend of the Condor Heroes" will definitely sell well."

    Zhao Han explained with a smile: "You can't sell novels directly. Once they sell well, there will be countless pirated copies, and the money will be made by pirates. We have a long stream of water. Wouldn't it be beautiful to serialize three times a month? If you want to read the following, you have to be old."  Honestly buy my "Goose Lake Weekly"!"

    What is "Goose Lake Weekly"?

    Zhao Han's public opinion propaganda position, by the way serialized novels to earn some money.

    Zhao Han pointed to the stage behind him: "Fei Chun, you come to the restaurant to tell a story. Every time a publication is published, only one-third of it is said, which makes them tickle. Anyone who wants to read the remaining two-thirds can pay for it."  Come buy it, no matter how bad the journal is, someone will want it."

    Fei Ruhe expressed his incomprehension: "Why are you so troublesome? If you are afraid of piracy, you can sell novels one by one."

    "You don't understand even if I say it," Zhao Han asked directly, "You can trust my ability."

    Fei Ruhe nodded and said, "I believe it."

    Zhao Han hooked Fei Ruhe's shoulder: "Since you believe me, then do as I say.?

 Volume 2 Yang is Down 057 [Money Refunded!  】

    Henglin Bookstore was born in the last years of Zhengde.

    Because Fei didn't cooperate with King Ning's rebellion, his ancestral grave was dug up and his ancestral house was burned down.

    At that time, there was only Hanzhu Private School, but no Hanzhu Academy. Fei's collection of books was placed at the ancestral house, and it was also burned down by a fire.

    Fei Hong, who was an official at home, personally set up a bookstore, purchased imperial examination materials from Nanzhi and Zhejiang, and specially printed teaching supplementary books for his children to study.

    Over the past hundred years, Henglin Bookstore has developed and expanded, publishing more and more content, mainly operating three types: teaching supplements, anthologies, and opera scripts.

    In the last years of Wanli, even began to secretly print pornographic novels

    "Just carving a few sentence breaks, isn't that too much money for you?" Zhao Han was very unhappy.

    Fei Yu, the shopkeeper of the bookstore, laughed and said, "Just a few carvings? Dozens of them for one piece!"

    Zhao Han pointed to the two manuscript papers on the table, and began to reason seriously: "Master Fei, let's speak with conscience. Is it easier to read only the sentence breaks, or is it more convenient to read with commas and colons?"

    "It's all convenient." Fei Yu said.

    "The same novel, two kinds of punctuation marks, which one would you like to buy?" Zhao Han asked.

    Fei Yu said ambiguously, "Anything is fine."

    Zhao Han laughed angrily: "Well, Qianshan is not just your bookstore, so I will take it to another bookstore to print books. After the book is printed, the movable type of the sentence break will be kept, and other books can be printed."

    Fei Yu stretched out his hand to stop him: "Don't leave in a hurry, you should talk slowly when talking about business, how can you finish a few sentences?"

    "I shouldn't pay for the newly added sentence breaks and engraving movable type," Zhao Han insisted.

    Seeing that he couldn't get any cheaper, Fei Yu said with a smile, "Okay, no extra money."

    The publishing industry in the late Ming Dynasty was extremely prosperous. In addition to the advancement of printing technology, there was also the complete formation of "Song typeface".

    Song typeface, in fact, should be called print type, especially suitable for movable type printing.

    There is even a color overprinting technology in Nanjing, where several colors are printed on the same page, and illustrations can also be attached.

    Printed materials in the late Ming Dynasty, especially popular books, basically have sentence breaks.

    Just one black dot, which is both a comma and a period.

    ?Zhao Han asked for a small amount of punctuation, just commas, periods, colons, and quotation marks, in order to make it easier for the lower-level people to read books.

    Another half month has passed, and the first issue of "Goose Lake Weekly" has finally been published.

    President: Zhao Han.

    ? Vice President: Pang Chunlai.

    ? Lead writers: Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai.

    ?Editors: Pang Chunlai, Xu Ying, Fei Yuanjian.

    ?The first section: Zhao Ziyue.

    ?The second section: On Liaodong.

    The third section: Selected periodicals of ancient Chinese.

    The fourth section: Poetry appreciation.

    The fifth section: opera scripts.

    The sixth section: serialization of novels.

    The seventh block: Taixi Mathematics.  (The first few issues will not be printed, the start-up funds are not enough, and mathematical symbols need to be added)

    In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the first day of October.

    Dingsheng Building.

    Fei Yuanlu took a Confucian scholar to choose a private room on the second floor, and said with a smile: "Long Ru, you are new here, and I will take you to taste the new dishes of Qianshan Mountain."

    "It will cost the mountain chief." Zheng Zhongkui cupped his hands.

    Zheng Zhongkui, courtesy name Longru, was born in Shangrao.  He lost his father since childhood and was raised by his elder brother.

    Although this gentleman could not even pass the Juren examination, he is known as "unrivaled talent, knowledgeable and knowledgeable". He has published "Qingyan", "Erxin", "Ouji", "Junqu" and other books.

    "Qing Yan", also known as "Lan Wan Ju Qing Yan", can be called the Ming Dynasty version of "Shi Shuo Xin Yu".

    The rest of the books are mostly essays, covering politics, economy, nationality, diplomacy, literature, art, and customs.  Historically, "Once Upon a Time" and "Jun District" were also listed as banned books by Qianlong.

    In the past few years, Fei Yuanlu has been rectifying the academy, which has greatly improved the style of study in Hanzhushan.

    He also invited famous teachers to teach, and Zheng Zhongkui was the third one. After writing more than ten letters, he finally invited him.

    The food and wine are on the table.

    Fei Yuanlu introduced: "This is red oil chicken, spicy and refreshing. This is Dongpo elbow, which is fat but not greasy. They are all new products of Dingshenglou. Let Longru taste it."

    Zheng Zhongkui picked up a piece of elbow meat, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully, and immediately praised: "This is a rare treasure in the world!"

    Fei Yuanlu pushed open the window next to the aisle, and said with a smile: "Dingsheng Building has changed a troupe, and Yiyang accent is the most important thing."?Called as a masterpiece, Long Ru can enjoy delicious food, and then accompany the opera with wine.  "

    "Wan Sheng is really ashamed to be treated so well by the head of the mountain." Zheng Zhongkui said hastily.

    Fei Yuanlu said: "Long Ru's talent has spread far and wide, and who in Guangxin Mansion doesn't know about it? I hope you can take more care of the academy's academic affairs."

    "I will do my best." Zheng Zhongkui replied.

    Suddenly, Fei Chun's voice came from outside: "Silence, silence, before the troupe starts today, let me tell a legendary story."

    "Don't listen to the book, let the theater troupe come on stage!"

    "Who are you? You don't even have all your hair, go home and feed yourself!"

    "Get out, get out!"

    ""

    Fei Yuanlu closed the window immediately, and the noise dissipated most of the time, and said with a smile, "Don't worry about him while you're eating."

    At this moment, Fei Chun was standing on the stage, holding a paper tube loudspeaker in his hand, unable to speak with embarrassment on his face.

    Zhao Han could only go on stage by himself, grabbed the trumpet and said, "Hey, hello, hello"

    The diners found that there were more people, and the noise became slightly quieter, all wondering what Zhao Han wanted to do.

    Zhao Han took the opportunity to shout: "Red oil chicken and Dongpo elbow are both ancestral dishes. Please tell me, are these two dishes delicious?"

    "tasty!"

    "Yo, Ganqing is the little chef in the kitchen."

    "Was your ancestor an imperial cook?"

    ""

    The topic changed in an instant, and it was all about food.

    Zhao Han held up the loudspeaker and continued to shout: "Everyone be quiet, so I can finish listening to the story, and I can eat the third new dish tomorrow. Okay?"

    "good!"

    Many diners laughed in unison.

    Zhao Han handed the loudspeaker to Fei Chun: "Let's start."

    After all, Fei Chun was a monk halfway through, and he had never practiced his voice, so he had to use a loudspeaker to tell stories on big occasions.  He raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "This story happened during the reign of Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty. But there is a Niujia Village beside the Qiantang River"

    Gradually, the noise became smaller and smaller, and the diners were immersed in it.

    Some people even ate, but refused to leave, and continued to sit there and listen to stories.

    ? When it came to the killing of people by the State of Jin in the State of Song, the officers and soldiers of the State of Song actually helped. The audience was filled with righteous indignation, slamming the emperor of the State of Song as a fool.

    Speaking of Qiu Chuji beheading corrupt officials and those generals of the Jin Kingdom, the audience applauded again.

    Then, Fei Chun said: "If you want to know what will happen next, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down!"

    "anything else?"

    "Stop talking about it?"

    "Little brother, come on again!"

    ""

    Nima, this chapter is simply wicked.

    After the two loyal and righteous men, one was killed by Jin Bing, and the other's life and death were unknown.  Their wives were still pregnant, and one of them seemed to be saved, but who saved her?  What about the remaining one? Can the child be kept?

    Stop abruptly, do nothing!

    Fei Chun took out a copy of "Goose Lake Xunkan" and said with a smile: "If you want to know about the funeral, you can also buy this book. Each volume only costs one penny (0.01 taels of silver)."

    During the Zhengde and Jiajing years, due to the imperfection of movable type printing, the price of books at that time was very expensive. A set of "Li Shangyin's Poetry Collection" was worth 4 taels of silver.

    During the Wanli period, it dropped a lot, and a set of "Fengshen Yanyi" was worth 2 taels of silver.

    During the Tianqi and Chongzhen years, the printing technique was more developed, and there were more and more publishing houses, and the price of books continued to decline.

    The paper used by Zhao Han's "Goose Lake Weekly" is relatively cheap, and it is close to the place where the paper was produced, so it can be said to be sold very cheaply Well, to put it more bluntly, it is about equal to a catty of chicken.

    Those who can eat in the Dingsheng Building do not lack the money for a catty of chicken.

    Although dissatisfied, but still want to know the follow-up, more than ten people bought the magazine on the spot.

    Then, yelling

    They bought novels to read, but who knew that only one-third of them belonged to novels after they got them, what the hell is all about them?

    "Money back!"

    "Money back!"

    Zhao Han rushed onto the stage and yelled more fiercely than the consumers: "Whoever yells again, I will stop writing, and there will be no new dishes in the future!"

    Everyone was speechless for a moment, ignoring the previous content, and directly turned to the back to read the novel.

    There are also waiters in the restaurant who serve the private rooms on the second floor, and all of them carry a magazine in their arms.

    A waiter came into the room to refill the wine and asked, "Master Fei, sir, are you interested in buying the ten-day periodical? Poetry, prose, drama and novels, everything you need, it's very good-looking."

    "Let's take a look." Zheng Zhongkui smiled.

    The clerk hurriedly handed over the "Goose Lake Xunkan", but Zheng Zhongkui did not give the money immediately, but opened it first to read a few.

    There is no inaugural word on the title page, it is directly the catalog of this issue.

    The first section "Zhao Ziyue", the author Zhao Ziyue, the title of the article: "All people in the world are born equal".

    Zheng Zhongkui's eyelids twitched, and he quickly flipped through the text:

    "First, men and women are equalSecond, every industry is equalThird, good and bad are equal"He asked: "Master Fei, is this gentleman interested in buying a ten-day magazine? Poetry and prose, opera novels, everything you need, it's very good-looking."

    "Let's take a look." Zheng Zhongkui smiled.

    The clerk hurriedly handed over the "Goose Lake Xunkan", but Zheng Zhongkui did not give the money immediately, but opened it first to read a few.

    There is no inaugural word on the title page, it is directly the catalog of this issue.

    The first section "Zhao Ziyue", the author Zhao Ziyue, the title of the article: "All people in the world are born equal".

    Zheng Zhongkui's eyelids twitched, and he quickly flipped through the text:

    "First, men and women are equalSecond, every industry is equalThird, good and bad are equal?

 Volume 2 The sun is below 058【Fashion boss】

    "Snapped!"

    Before Zheng Zhongkui finished reading the article, someone in the private room next door patted the table: "Well written, men and women should be equal, good and bad should be equal too!"

    Immediately, the person pushed the door open and shouted cheerfully: "Who is Zhao Ziyue? Come and drink three hundred cups!"

    Zhao Han looked up to the second floor and was startled.

    I saw that this person was wearing a Confucian shirt, neither the standard blue and white, nor the green that failed the scientific examination.  Insteadthe base is pink, and there are bright red, purple, green, and yellow embellishments.

    It looks like a humanoid peacock wearing a Confucian shirt!

    Looking at its headgear again, although the small golden crown is fancy, it is still within the normal range.  But the hairpin passing through the crown is actually inlaid with pearls and jade, and it walks like a woman's gait.

    Raising his hand and flicking it, the folding fan unfolded, and pictures of ladies were impressively drawn on the fan.

    In the Ming Dynasty, there were also women's clothing bigwigs?

    Well, it's not really women's clothing, strictly speaking, it's neither male nor female.

    Zhao Han paced up to the second floor, cupped his hands and said, "My servant, Zhao Han, dare to ask your son's name."

    Seeing Zhao Han's tender face, the man couldn't help frowning: "Zhao Ziyue is so young?"

    Zhao Han asked back: "Your Excellency, you can wear different clothes, so you can't be young?"

    The man was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly, clasped his fists and said, "Fei Ruyi, with Changhuai, just came back from Suzhou. My outfit is very fashionable in Suzhou."

    "How many cross-dressers are there in Suzhou?" Zhao Han was quite surprised.

    Fei Ruyi said triumphantly, "Not only Suzhou, Susong Changhu, there are many people in different clothes!"

    The society at the end of Ming Dynasty was very deformed.

    The north is hell, and the people suffer from food and clothing; the south is like heaven, where fashion has been born.

    On the one hand, the mind is imprisoned, and there are many women who die for their husbands;

    Where there is oppression, there is resistance.

    Where there is confinement, there is presumptuousness.

    The slogan of equality in all industries was uttered by Wang Gen a long time ago, a hundred years ago.

    The slogan of equality between men and women was uttered by Li Zhi a long time ago, fifty years ago.

    Wang Gen and Li Zhi are both disciples and grandchildren of Wang Yangming.

    Today, Zhao Han advocates equality for all, but he added the phrase "good and bad are equal".

    As long as the rebellion is not publicized, not to mention the central court, even the local government is too lazy to take care of it.

    If Zhao Han becomes famous, he may even receive an official invitation to give lectures

    Zheng Zhongkui put down the magazine, thoughtful.

    Fei Yuanlu picked it up and looked at it. He was very angry immediately, and said angrily: "Heretics, so arrogant, how dare you call yourself Zhao Zi!"

    Zheng Zhongkui smiled back, neither agreeing nor refuting.

    Fei Yuanlu quickly rushed out of the private room, stood in the aisle and shouted: "Which one is Zhao Ziyue?"

    Zhao Han was talking to Fei Ruyi, when he heard the words, he turned around and bowed: "I report to the head of the mountain, the student is Zhao Ziyue."

    Fei Yuanlu immediately had an impression: "Are you Fei Meizhong's adopted son and Pang Weiran's student?"

    "It's an honor for the head of the mountain to remember the students." Zhao Han responded calmly.

    Fei Yuanlu scolded: "Don't advocate fallacies and heresies, take them all and burn them!"

    Before Zhao Han could speak again, Fei Ruyi suddenly stepped forward: "Grandfather's words are wrong"

    "Fei Ruyi!"

    Before this guy finished talking, Fei Yuanlu exploded, and roared: "What the hell are you wearing? Go home and change your body!"

    Well, it turned out to be the grandfather and grandson.

    Fei Ruyi was not afraid at all, and deliberately turned around twice, showing off his beautiful clothes, and said with a playful smile: "Grandpa doesn't know, this beautiful dress is also very beautiful, and Suzhou talents often wear it."

    "Nonsense," Fei Yuanlu was almost dizzy, and cursed, "You shameless bastard, you said you were going to Jiangzuo to study, and after swimming for a few years, you couldn't pass the exam, so you learned all this shit? I  I I will beat you to death!"

    Fei Ruyi raised his hand to block the old punch, and argued with reason: "Grandfather, please don't mess with ethics, if you become my father, how will my father deal with himself?"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Instantly the whole room burst into laughter.

    But the diners on the first floor, who have been paying attention to the aisle on the second floor, are amused by the grandpa and grandson at this moment.

    Hearing the laughter, Fei Yuanlu stopped immediately.

    He pretended to be nonchalant, straightened his clothes to hide his embarrassment, and yelled in a low voice: "Go inside and tell me, both of you come in!"

    Fei Yuanlu returned to the private room first, Zhao Han?, absorbing a lot of Christian thought, so he had a hard time with many scholars.

    So, Geng's directional disciple, Feng Yingjing, the Donglin Party (which had not yet formed a party at the time), and the three parties joined forces to persecute Li Zhi and put him in prison.

    Even so, Emperor Wanli didn't want to do anything to him, but ordered Li Zhi to be escorted back to his hometown.  Li Zhi didn't want to go back to his hometown and lose face, and because he was old and sick, he was afraid of dying of illness on the way back to Fujian, so he committed suicide directly in prison.

    With Li Zhi's lessons learned, Zhao Han tried his best not to engage in fixed-point attacks, and it was safer to open a map gun than to offend a villain.

    But he said that Fei Yuanlu left the restaurant, his anger was gone, and he happily went to the county to meet the boss.  He wanted to take this opportunity to make a name for Hanzhu Academy and impress that boss deeply.

    In Fei Yuanlu's eyes, the outcome of the debate doesn't matter, and Zhao Han is just a tool.

    For Zhao Han, Fei Yuanlu is also a tool man.

    Mutual use is only for the sake of fame, who cares about his etiquette.

 Volume 2: Yang is Down 059 [Centrifugal Virtue]

    At the foot of Hanzhu Mountain, inside a thatched cottage.

    Zhao Han and Xu Ying, both passed the Tongsheng examination this year, but did not find another teacher, and still studied with Pang Chunlai.

    Master Pang's original scripture is "Book of Songs", and they can only learn "Book of Songs".

    Fei Chun read according to the account book: "Dingsheng Building sold 48 copies, Hekou Wharf sold 11 copies, and Hanzhu Academy sold 65 copies. A total of 124 copies were sold, and the silver was 1 tael, 2 cents and 4 cents. Invite the shop assistant to eat  , asking them to help sell it, has already spent 3 coins.”

    "It's too cheap," Fei Ruhe complained, "The more you sell, the more you lose!"

    Fei Yuanjian echoed: "Yes, if we do a few more ten-day periodicals, we will lose all the money we invested."

    "Take your time, don't rush." ??Zhao Han said with a smile.

    If all of the first 500 copies of "Goose Lake Xunkan" can be sold, the net loss will be 13 taels, 5 cents and 8 cents, not counting the money for inviting the shop assistants to eat.

    Well, net loss!

    To make money, the selling price must be multiplied by five.

    At that time, the price of each magazine will be as high as an old hen, and you can buy a copy of "Four Books Annotations".

    Just because of the low cost of "Four Books Collected Notes", tens of thousands of copies are printed at a time, and they can be sold for several years.  However, the printing volume of "Eastern Lake Weekly" is too small, and the number of novels is quite large. Even if cheap paper is used, it is still difficult to keep down the production cost.

    "How is the evaluation of the students in the academy?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xu Ying replied: "The most people love to read novels, followed by Mr. Liaodong Lun, and there are also those who like to read ancient Chinese. Your article is quite controversial, mainly on the third article. Equality between men and women, equality in all professions, many  Everyone agrees, but equality between good and bad is not accepted.”

    "You don't accept it either?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

    Many times, the ass decides the head.

    Although Xu Ying's family is poor, they are also good citizens. From the perspective of legal status, they are naturally nobler than the lowly ones.

    Xu Ying quickly denied: "Good and cheap should be equal, of course I accept it."

    Fei Chun is Fei Ruhe's schoolboy, Fei Yu is Fei Yuanjian's schoolboy, both of them belong to the low class.

    At this moment, the two of them dare not speak, fearing to provoke the host's dissatisfaction, but they support Zhao Han's point of view from the bottom of their hearts.

    Who is willing to despise and despise oneself?

    Perhaps some of them have been brainwashed, but young people must still have fantasies.

    Zhao Han asked Fei Ruhe and Fei Yuanjian again: "What about you?"

    Fei Ruhe scratched his head and remained silent.

    Fei Yuanjian said: "The master is the master, and the slave is the slave. If they are all equal, who should be the master?"

    Fei Yu was suddenly sad, and felt very sad. The young master usually treats him well, but unexpectedly he was still belittled.

    Fei Chun is similar, Fei Ruhe doesn't speak, because he doesn't recognize the equality of good and bad.

    Zhao Han proposed "three equality", the equality of good and bad is the most radical, but the other two are easier to accept.

    Equality between men and women, only for gender.

    All industries are equal, only for the division of labor.

    The equality of the good and the cheap directly refers to the class contradiction - the contradiction between the slave and the slave owner!

    Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Fei Chun quickly changed the subject: "Brother, it's better to cancel poetry and opera, those contents are purely redundant."

    "Yes, no operas," Fei Ruhe continued, "Who in Jiangxi can't sing a few operas? Unless new operas can be published, they won't attract readers at all."

    Xu Ying said: "Although the poems are read by others, they are also dispensable."

    "Okay, then cancel it." Zhao Han followed suit.

    The inaugural issue is just to test the waters, and the cancellation of two sections can just reduce the cost.

    From now on, the magazine will only have the following content: Zhao Ziyue, Liaodong Theory, selected periodicals of ancient Chinese, and serialized novels.

    As for Taixi Mathematics, wait for sales to increase.

    Xu Ying said suddenly: "Nowadays, the most troublesome thing in the academy is not the articles in the ten-week magazine."

    "What is that?" Fei Ruhe asked.

    Xu Ying explained: "This year's Jiangxi autumn grain, the preferential exemption for students is officially cancelled."

    Everyone was shocked.

    Zhao Han asked: "When did it happen?"

    Xu Ying replied: "In the past two days, it has spread all over the academy. You didn't come to class, so I'm afraid you don't know."

    Fei Yuanjian has improved his studies in the past two years, and there is a glimmer of hope that he will be admitted as a scholar.  He suddenly uttered a rebellious remark: "Is the emperor crazy?"

    "It seems that the emperor was cornered." Zhao Han couldn't help laughing.

    Twenty-four years after Jiajing, as long as you pass the examination as a scholar, you can be exempted from the land tax for two years.??, two people exempted from service.

    What did Chongzhen do?

    Cancel the preferential exemption for students, and take two stones of grain from every scholar to supplement the finances.

    For the children of rich families, two shi of grain is nothing, and they have plenty of ways to escape taxation.

    The real affected people are all poor scholars!

    This measure can only increase the annual income by 300,000 yuan, but it will cause very serious consequences.

    Poor scholars had a hard time living, and they all attached themselves to the gentry and wealthy families, otherwise they would have no money to continue the examination.  Many scholars in the north simply ran to join the peasant army because they resented the emperor and their lives were difficult.

    Chongzhen promulgated the decree in three years. Due to the raging public opinion, the provincial governments have been secretly resisting it.

    But I still can't bear it, this year's Jiangxi Autumn Grain will finally be taxed in full on scholars - Chongzhen sent an eunuch to manage the taxation!

    In the first year of Chongzhen, the emperor tried his best to suppress the eunuchs, and the civil officials cheered.

    In the second year of Chongzhen, the emperor suddenly expanded the factory guard.  In Dongchang and Jinyiwei, although the power of law enforcement has been withdrawn, the power of supervision has grown day by day. There are factory guard spies everywhere in the capital.

    In the third year of Chongzhen, the emperor no longer trusted generals, eunuchs began to get involved in the army, and the power of supervising the army was improved.  In the end, any front-line decision-making had to be discussed with the eunuchs.

    In the fourth year of Chongzhen, the emperor no longer trusted civil servants, and eunuchs managed the country's finances.

    Today, the money bags of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry are all in the hands of the eunuchs, and there is a special "Household Worker Prime Minister" (the eunuch serves as the governor).

    The eunuch also controls the right to mint coins. The copper coins issued after Chongzhen four years later have the words "Jian" and "Chi" printed on the back (if the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry are asked to cast money, the words "Household" and "Work" will be printed on the back).

    Eunuchs were sent to the localities to supervise the collection of taxes in various provinces.

    In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the emperor monopolized the power, the eunuchs were powerful, and the civil servants and generals were weak.

    Will there be no business tax at the end of Ming Dynasty?

    After the Tartars broke through the customs, the central government was in financial difficulties, land tax was raised again, commercial tax, tariff, labor tax, deed tax all increased!

    The national treasury is not much rich, but it has fed the eunuchs from all walks of life.

    Civil officials, military generals, landlords, businessmen, farmers, and scholars all complained and became increasingly alienated from the emperor.

    Under such circumstances, who really cares what articles Zhao Han writes?

    "Zi said, Zi said, I came to see you!"

    Fei Ruyi suddenly came to the thatched hut with a handsome servant.

    Although the two masters and servants no longer wore exotic clothes, they still looked fancy overall.

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and smiled, "Brother Changhuai, please come in!"

    Fei Ruyi didn't bow, but directly shook hands, took Zhao Han's hand and said, "My dear brother, I'm here to report to you."

    "I don't know what news my brother brought?" Zhao Han quickly pulled out his hand.

    Fei Ruyi hooked up with Zhao Han again, looking more like a hug, and said with a smile: "Grandpa went to the county yesterday, and invited the Deputy Envoy of Tixue to the academy, and I'm afraid he will attend your debate."

    "Thank you brother for reminding me." Zhao Han moved to the side, trying to get rid of physical contact.

    Fei Ruyi continued to lean over: "The Deputy Envoy of Tixue is not only as clean as water, but also a master of Taoism. Brother, you should be more careful."

    "Definitely, definitely." Zhao Han's hairs stood on end.

    Lao Tzu is not afraid of learning from others.

    I am most afraid of you now!

    Fei Ruyi didn't leave, Xu Ying, Fei Ruhe, Fei Yuanjian and the others subconsciously backed away, looking at this old man in horror.

 Volume 2 The Yang is Down 060 [Forget it if it's reversed]

    Estuary wharf.

    Fei Yuanlu opened the cabin door himself, and said earnestly: "Inspector Cai, please go ashore!"

    Cai Maode was very modest, and said with a smile: "Don't dare to be, seniors and young are in order, senior Fei please first."

    Tixue Dao, also known as: Inspector, Xuezheng.

    If it is served by the deputy envoy of the inspection, it is called the "deputy envoy of Tixue".  If it is held by the Chaqian Shi, it is called "Ti Xueqian Shi".

    These various titles actually refer to the same official position - the provincial director of education.

    Cai Maode, as a Jiangxi scholar, has been hated by others in recent years.  Because he is not greedy for money, he is not allowed to cheat in the imperial examination, so many children from rich families cannot buy the fame of a scholar with money.

    Moreover, this person is elusive, and with only a long entourage, he dared to run around Jiangxi, secretly investigating the style of study in various states and counties.

    A few days ago, I came to Qianshan Mountain and visited the county school for a long time, and finally a scholar recognized him.  Zheng Lun, the new county magistrate, rushed to serve him, but he was in vain, and Cai Maode went to pay his respects to Xin Qiji.

    "Mt. Hanzhu is really a good place for outstanding people and outstanding talents." Cai Maode said, looking at the mountains.

    Fei Yuanlu quickly said: "There is still a lack of great Confucianism to teach. If the supervisor can give lectures in the mountains, the scholars of the Academy will definitely improve a lot."

    Cai Maode smiled and said: "Hanzhu Mountain is rich in cultural heritage, I am just playing tricks."

    The two walked forward together, followed by several people behind them.

    One of them has a strong physique, a long sword hanging from his waist, and a bookcase on his back. He seems to be Cai Maode's personal follower.

    On the way up the mountain, Cai Maode suddenly asked: "How do the students of Hanzhu Academy react to the cancellation of preferential treatment by the imperial court?"

    Fei Yuanlu replied: "The imperial court has treated scholars preferentially for more than two hundred years. Now that Taicang is short of money and food, scholars should take care of the country."

    The answer was not what was asked, Cai Maode didn't bother to ask any more.

    Arriving at the gate of the academy, there is a piece of paper pasted on the wall beside the gate.

    Cai Maode walked over to check, and suddenly had a strange expression, and asked: "All people in the world are born equal. Which great Confucian in the Academy is this masterpiece?"

    Fei Yuanlu replied: "The actions of an arrogant boy have already aroused public outrage. The court will not be punished for his words, and so should the academy. The old man plans to hold a debate tomorrow, and let this boy debate with the teachers and students of the academy. If he loses,  He is responsible for making corrections, and there should be no more strange remarks. If he can refute the teachers and students of the school, he will be a child prodigy, and he can be allowed to develop."

    "This method is very good, I should take a look at it." Cai Maode was very interested in it.

    Fei Yuanlu was waiting for this sentence, and immediately hit the snake with a stick: "Although this matter is absurd, it is really rare. Can the supervisor write an essay to remember it?"

    Cai Maode turned around abruptly, staring at Fei Yuanlu with a half-smile.

    Fei Yuanlu was more than 20 years older than him, with white hair and wrinkles. At this moment, he had a flattering face and pleading eyes.

    Cai Maode's heart softened, and he sighed: "Forget it, I will write an article."

    Fei Yuanlu straightened his clothes and bowed upright.

    This article is very important. It was written by Deputy Envoy Tixue, and the topic of the debate is controversial. It will definitely make Hanzhu Academy famous.

    At the same time, there is another deep meaning, which involves the grievances of the predecessors.

    Wang Yangming's father was Wang Hua, and Fei Hong was Wang Hua's student.  Fei Hong's cousin, Fei Cai, is Lou Liang's grandson-in-law, and Wang Yangming is Lou Liang's student.

    In the rebellion of King Ning, Wang Yangming brought Fei Hong together to overthrow King Ning.

    In terms of personality, Fei Hong admired Wang Yangming very much.  Academically, Fei Hong was very resistant to Wang Yangming.  Politically, Fei Hong resolutely suppressed Wang Yangming.

    The conflict between the two parties arose from the handling of King Ning, that is, to whom should the captives be handed over.

    Later, Fei Hong prevented Wang Yangming from coming back, and suppressed Wang Yangming's promotion.  Eight months before Wang Yangming's death, Fei Hong took the initiative to show his friendship, and the two parties apparently reached a settlement.

    Because of these, Wang Yangming's disciples and grandchildren never waited to see Qianshan Fei.

    If Cai Maode can write articles for Hanzhu Academy, it means that his faction accepts the Fei family.

    After receiving an affirmative answer, Fei Yuanlu said happily: "Inspector, please come in."

    "Please." Cai Maode no longer declined.

    With the passage of time, the grievances and grievances of the seniors have long faded, and the two of them walked through the gate of the academy hand in hand.

    The man with the sword behind did not follow immediately, but carefully read the articles on the wall.  Smile sometimes, frown sometimes, and think thoughtfully at the end.

    This person, named Zhu Zhiyu, is a scholar from Yuyao.

    However, when Fei and Cai entered the academy, they ran into a group of students head-on.

    "I have met the head of the mountain!" The students saluted one after another.

    ??A student recognized Cai Maode: "Meet the Master (Master)!"

    Fei Yuanlu bowed his hands in return, and asked, "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

    A student said: "The imperial court cancels the preferential exemption for students. I will go to the governor with my companions, intending to join the school, and ask Your Majesty to take it back!"

    Another student said: "Since the inspector is here, we will not be far away. Please send the memorial to the inspector!"

    "Nonsense!"

    Fei Yuanlu immediately reprimanded: "The abolition of preferential treatment for students is an imperial order two years ago, and Jiangxi has only implemented it until now. Can you make His Majesty take back the will?"

    A student excitedly said: "Shan Zhang, the students come from humble backgrounds, and they all depend on Fei's support. But students also have to support their families, and the whole family can't rely on Fei's to live. Two stones of food are not much, but for students, it is the family.  Life-saving food. Now that the imperial court cancels preferential treatment, there are hundreds of thousands of students in the world, and poor scholars like students, who doesn’t feel chilled? This is also a disorder of the country’s politics!”

    Fei Yuanlu was speechless.

    Cai Maode sighed: "Give me your memorials."

    "Thank you sir!" The students were overjoyed.

    Cai Maode said again: "I will only pass it on to the General Secretary for you. I can't guarantee whether His Majesty can see it."

    The students felt sad for a moment, and then became more and more angry, thinking that Chongzhen was a fool.

    It's a matter of self-interest, so it's strange if you don't resent it!

    But Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help it, he had to make money to maintain the situation.

    Take the third year of Chongzhen as an example, the first time the Ministry of Households asked for a tax increase, the emperor directly refused.  After half a year, there was really no money in the treasury, so the emperor could only bite the bullet and agree.

    Did not add much, 0.003 taels of silver per mu of land.

    However, it was added once a few years ago, how can ordinary people hold it?

    The south is slightly better, after all, the yield per mu is higher.

    The land in the north is barren and has suffered from drought year after year, which has driven farmers to death.

    The policy is implemented and the whole country blossoms.

    Shanxi was directly bombed, and peasant uprisings arose.

    In Beizhi, Henan, and Shandong, there are more and more White Lotus followers.

    At this time, in order to control the army, Chongzhen sent his confidant eunuchs to all parts of the country.

    When the eunuchs took office, their first priority was to make money, and together with the civil and military generals, they exploited the soldiers.  Within a year, five provinces, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan, broke out mutinies one after another—many of them were instigated by military officials, wanting to give the new eunuch a blow.

    Compared with these chaotic situations, what are the two stone meters of a scholar?

    The students were dejected, and one of them said: "That crazy student advocates the equality of the good and the low, but we scholars are not even as good as domestic slaves. Look at those slaves, who don't have rich clothes and fine food, while scholars like us can only swallow chaff  Vegetables. Now that you are gone, I want to be equal to my slaves."

    "Why be angry? We can still take the exam, and a house slave will be a house slave for life." Another student persuaded.

    The student before said: "Can you take the exam and show me? The Jiangxi provincial exam is extremely difficult, and the officials and gentry colluded and cheated, so that some idiots won the exam! I wait for poor scholars, how much hope can I have?"

    By the end of Ming Dynasty, cheating in rural examinations occurred almost every year.

    Qian Qianyi, who is now dismissed from office and at home, is involved in the fraud case of the rural examination, and it is difficult to prove his innocence!

    Everyone was silent.

    Suddenly, a student said: "I don't take the exam, and I will go to Nanchang to join relatives tomorrow. It would be best if I can find a job as a school teacher. If it doesn't work, I will copy and write letters for others. I must not wait for my family to starve to death."

    "I'm going to Shangrao, where my uncle works, to see if I can find something to do." Another student said.

    These are ordinary scholars. Only lin students can receive lin rice on a monthly basis, and only lin students can earn money guaranteed by the government.  And they can't afford anything, at most, they are guaranteed by the county test. Now that the imperial court has canceled the preferential treatment and increased the land tax at the same time, the poor scholars really can't bear it.

    Even if he could bear it, he was disheartened, thinking that he was abandoned by the court.

    "This court, it's better to turn it back!"

    "Quickly shut up, are you crazy?"

    "I'm not crazy! I'm studying hard in the cold window, I have no hope in the imperial examination, and I'm rejected by the court. What else can we do?"

    "Brother Changqing is crazy, pull him back quickly!"

    ""

    For a while, chickens and dogs jumped.

    It is against this background that Zhao Han's "Debate with Pearls" comes.

 Volume 2 Yang is under 061 [Sophistry]

    Hanzhu Academy.

    Under the big camphor tree, it was full of students early on.

    The two scholars who wanted to go to work also planned to leave after listening to the debate.

    It's so rare, so lively, it's hard to meet in a lifetime.

    Scholars, Tongsheng and schoolchildren all have the mentality of watching a play.  The teachers relied on their status and were unwilling to debate with a child. If they lost, they would definitely lose face, and if they won, they would gain nothing.

    There are only a few false Taoists who are eager to try at this moment, wanting to teach Zhao Han a profound lesson.

    "Senior, please."

    "Friends first."

    Pang Chunlai and Zheng Zhongkui came side by side. The two hit it off right away, and within three days they became close friends.

    Zhu Zhiyu, a scholar from Yuyao, did not follow Cai Maode either. He came to the scene alone with a sword in his hand, and sat under a big camphor tree to read a book and wait.

    "Hey, here comes a demon!"

    "It's simply degrading!"

    "Isn't that brother Changhuai? We haven't seen each other for a few years, and he likes to wear different clothes?"

    ""

    The scene of the debate suddenly boiled over, but it was Fei Ruyi who made his debut, instantly attracting everyone's attention and becoming the most beautiful boy in the entire academy.

    Submit the demon!

    ?From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, whenever rituals and music collapsed, there must be demons appearing in the world.

    Today, many ministers are also obedient to demons, and they use thrift as an excuse.  Their court dress belts were made of leather according to the regulations, but they were made of bamboo shoot shells, just for the sake of lightness-the belts were loose and had no binding function, and they were wrapped in green silk, so they were not afraid of the bamboo shoot shells being broken.

    Facing the advice and comments from teachers and students, Fei Ruyi didn't feel ashamed, instead, he deliberately slowed down so that people could admire his beauty.

    This is fashion from Suzhou, what do a group of country bumpkins know?

    Walking in front of Zhao Han, Fei Ruyi smiled and said, "Zi said, are you ready?"

    Zhao Han's chrysanthemum tightened suddenly, and he stepped back and cupped his fists: "Thank you brother Changhuai for your concern, I'm just doing my best."

    Seeing Zhao Han's subconscious reaction, Fei Ruyi felt very sad. How could such a handsome young man resist himself?

    He swept towards Zhao Han again, Fei Ruhe was too strong, Fei Yuanjian looked mediocre Hey, Fei Ruyi stared at Fei Chun all of a sudden, this boy is not bad looking either.

    Fei Chun's scalp was numb from the sight, and he moved sideways behind Fei Ruhe.

    At this time, Fei Yuanlu and Cai Maode came out together.

    There are several chairs under the big camphor tree, Fei Yuanlu smiled and said, "Inspector, please take a seat."

    "That's the case, but it's disrespectful." Cai Maode sat in the middle.

    Fei Yuanlu said loudly: "There is a crazy student in the Academy, Fei Han, who wrote an article advocating heresy, which has aroused the righteous indignation of the teachers and students. The imperial government treats scholars preferentially, and they will not be punished for their words, and the Academy is no different. Today, the debate will be held. The teachers and students of the Academy  It is a blessing for all the teachers and students of the school to ask Mr. Cai, the governor of Jiangxi Province, to be the president of today's debate."

    Cai Maode got up slowly and bowed to the surroundings: "Masters, it's a pleasure to meet you! More than 400 years ago, Zhu Zi and Erlu argued in the E Lake, which is called the 'Debate of E Lake'. Today, imitating the sages, we can call it 'Han  The debate of pearls'. A gentleman is harmonious but different. No matter who wins or loses, don't hurt the peace. The winner should guard against arrogance and impetuosity, abide by the heart, and seek the law of heaven; the loser should not be discouraged, but should be brave  Advanced knowledge."

    The Debate on Goose Lake has great and far-reaching significance in the history of Chinese thought development, and its influence has continued until the Republic of China.

    At that time, Zhu Xi's Neo-Confucianism faced Lu Jiuyuan and Lu Jiuling's Psychology.

    ?Zhu Xi advocated reading more, observing things more, and communicating with others more, so as to sum up experience and comprehend the principles of heaven through studying things and gaining knowledge.

    ? Erlu advocates first to make up one's mind, to realize one's original mind, and the mind is reason.  Follow your ambition and heart, and not be disturbed by external objects, and then observe and transform the world.

    ?No one is right or wrong. If ordinary people practice it, Neo Confucianism tends to follow the trend and go with the tide, and Mind Science tends to be divorced from reality and become arrogant and extreme.

    "Who is Fei Han?" Cai Maode asked suddenly.

    Zhao Han walked to the center of the debate, bowed his hands together and said, "The late students pay their respects to the supervisor."

    Cai Maode asked with a smile: "How old is it?"

    Zhao Han replied: "Fifteen years old."

    Cai Maode asked again: "Your dissenting views were taught by the teacher?"

    Zhao Han replied: "The ancient and modern sages are all my teachers."

    "Haha," Cai Maode was amused, "You are really arrogant at such a young age, I will wait and see!"

    Zhao Han said: "We should try our best to argue."

    Cai Maode said to the crowd: "Today's debate is whether all people in the world are created equal. Fei Han, please explain your argument."

    Zhao Han stood with his hands behind his back, and said loudly: "There is no need to elaborate, the article has already written clearly. If anyone has any questions, just ask them, and I will answer them myself."

    Extremely arrogant!

    "Okay," Maud Tsai announced, "Let's talk about equality between men and women first. Who wants to speak?"

    The teachers were silent, unwilling to argue with Tong Sheng.

    "Let me ask!"

    Fei Ruyu stood up suddenly. This guy is in his twenties, and he is still a child.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Senior, please tell me."

    Fei Ruyu was full of confidence: "Do you know the three obediences and the four virtues?"

    Zhao Han said: "Three obediences: obey the father before marriage, obey the husband when married, and obey the son after the husband dies. Four virtues: women's virtue, women's words, women's appearance, and women's merit."

    Fei Ruyu asked: "Since following the father, husband, and son, how can there be the theory of equality between men and women?"

    Zhao Han asked back: "What is private respect?"

    "What?" Fei Ruyu didn't understand.

    Zhao Han sneered: "You use "Yili" to ask me, and I have already answered what are the three obediences. I use "Yili" to ask you, why don't you answer what is private respect?"

    Fei Ruyu only knows the three obediences and four virtues, how could he know that the "three obediences" come from "Yi Li"?

    Even if the book is "Book of Rites", the imperial examination will not test "Yi Li".

    If you don't take the imperial examination, then what a fart!

    However, Zhao Han planned it long ago. In the past three years, he has read all the Confucian classics.  I don't recite it, I only remember the general meaning, and I deliberately find faults in the book.

    Zhao Han no longer paid attention to Fei Ruyu, but looked around: "Three Obediences are from "Yi Li", if you haven't read this book, don't talk nonsense to me!"

    As soon as this remark came out, the audience was embarrassed.

    Not to mention ordinary teachers and students, even the head of the mountain, Fei Yuanlu, has never read "Rituals".

    Suddenly, Zhu Zhiyu, a scholar from Yuyao, stood up and said, "Father is the son's respect. When the father is alive, the son is not allowed to respect his mother. He can only respect his mother privately. Private respect also. The meaning of 'there is no two suns' just shows the inequality between men and women.  "

    Zhao Han asked: "Since he respects his mother privately, it can be seen that the mother is also respected. How can there be the saying that 'a husband dies and obeys his son'?"

    Zhu Zhiyu explained: "If you are not married, obey your father, if you are married, obey your husband, and if your husband dies, obey your son. Women respect men. There are no two days, and only one is respected. When the father is alive, the son respects his mother privately. When the father dies, the mother respects the man."  His son."

    "Rituals" is a tool to determine the code of etiquette, with the purpose of consolidating the ruling order.

    If it is placed in the royal family, the above discussion can be understood as: the emperor is not dead, the prince wants to respect the emperor, he can only respect the queen in private.  The emperor died, the prince became the new emperor, and the queen became the queen mother, then the queen mother must respect the emperor (son).

    ? This is a question of transformation of dignity, both in the royal family and among the people.

    Zhao Han looked at Zhu Zhiyu, feeling very helpless.

    Alas, I met someone who knows how to do it!

    Historically, Zhu Zhiyu's academic thoughts have gone through three periods.

    At this time, Zhu Zhiyu did not turn to practical learning, but devoted himself to the study of pre-Qin ancient learning.  He paid homage to several teachers one after another, and they all ran to become officials one after another.  The teacher was ordered to become an official, and Zhu Zhiyu could only travel around. During this time, he followed Cai Maode everywhere.

    Zhao Han's half-learned knowledge can only bully laymen, and immediately catch blind when encountering professionals.

    Then mess around, pull the opponent to your own level, and then defeat him with your own rich experience!

    Zhao Han had a plan in advance: "Excuse me senior, the father beheaded the eldest son for three years, why?"

    If translated into vernacular, it means that as a father, why should the eldest son be mourned for three years?

    Zhu Zhiyu replied: "The eldest son inherits the original body of the ancestor and bears the heavy responsibility of inheriting the ancestral temple. As a father, he is not mourning for his son, but mourning for the inheritance of the ancestral temple."

    Just waiting for your words!

    Zhao Han asked loudly: "In today's world, is there any father who mourned for his son for three years?"

    Zhu Zhiyu was speechless, but bit the bullet and said, "No."

    Zhao Han said loudly: "The three obediences of women are the rites of the Shang and Zhou dynasties. Now that the customs are changing, why do you need to obey? If you want to obey, then you have to do it all. When the father mourns for his son for three years, I will admit that men are superior to women!"

    "well said!"

    Fei Ruyi applauded.

    Zhu Zhiyu was dumbfounded: I'm reasoning with you, but you talk about customs with me, why don't you be so shameless?

    A teacher named Li Sheng said: "This is not changing customs, but the collapse of rituals and music. Since rituals and music have collapsed, we scholars should abide by rituals and not go with the world!"

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "Sir, may I ask how long the courtiers should mourn for the emperor according to the "Rituals"? When the emperor of the Ming Dynasty passed away, how long should the courtiers mourn for? Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was sympathetic to all people and did not abide by the Shang and Zhou rites?"  System, is it also taking the lead in the collapse of rites and music?"

    The teacher was speechless.

    There is no way to say it, if you say it, you will slander the king!

    Cai Maode couldn't help admiring: "What a nonsense, this is the art of hardening!"

    What is the art of firmness and whiteness?

    Sophistry!

    ? Zhao Han turned to Cai Maode, cupped his hands and said, "The inspector said that I am honest, and that night I was born to speak uprightly. Teachers and students, listen carefully!"The teacher said: "This is not to change the customs, but to destroy the rituals and music. Since the rituals and music have collapsed, we scholars should abide by the rituals and not go with the world!"

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "Sir, may I ask how long the courtiers should mourn for the emperor according to the "Rituals"? When the emperor of the Ming Dynasty passed away, how long should the courtiers mourn for? Could it be that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was sympathetic to all people and did not abide by the Shang and Zhou rites?"  System, is it also taking the lead in the collapse of rites and music?"

    The teacher was speechless.

    There is no way to say it, if you say it, you will slander the king!

    Cai Maode couldn't help admiring: "What a nonsense, this is the art of hardening!"

    What is the art of firmness and whiteness?

    Sophistry!

    ? Zhao Han turned to Cai Maode, cupped his hands and said, "The supervisor said that I was honest, and that night I was born to speak uprightly. Teachers and students, listen carefully! ?

 Volume 2: The Yang is Down 062 [Theory of Gestation]

    Zhao Han stood in the middle of the debate and said loudly: "Why do I say that everyone is equal? ??This is the teaching of the sages"

    "Nonsense!"

    Not only was it difficult to convince the public with the arguing and rambling before, but it aroused everyone's anger.

    Facing everyone's scolding, Zhao Han still smiled: "I would like to ask everyone, who has read "Zhu Zi Yu Lei?"

    A teacher named Chen Lide said: "The book of Zhu Zi must be read."

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "May I ask you, how did Zhu Zi think the first person was born at the beginning of the world?"

    Chen Lide replied: "It is born from the transformation of qi, and the essence of two or five is combined to form."

    "May I ask again, sir, is the number one person in the world, male or female?" Zhao Han tilted his head and looked at the other party.

    Chen Lide hesitated and said, "This should be a man."

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Zhu Zi never said that, did you guess it yourself?"

    Chen Lide avoided the question: "Mostly they are men."

    Zhao Han ignored this person and said to many teachers and students: "Zhu Zi talked about the birth of the first person, but he didn't say whether it was a man or a woman. (Harmony) Yin and Yang interact, and the five qi are mixed. It can be male or female, not male.  They are not women. Zhu Zi also said: The same reason is the same, the different is the qi, and the five elements have their own nature"

    "Everything in the world is born by adhering to the qi of yin and yang and the five elements, and they all have their own principles of heaven and earth. The same is true for people!"

    "Regardless of men and women, regardless of the emperor's relatives and common people, regardless of whether they are good or poor, they are all human beings."

    "Since human beings are all sages, they are only blinded by the turbidity of the day after birth. As long as the turbidity is washed away, one can perceive the principles of heaven. "Book of Rites" Gou Rixin, day by day, and day by day, is the same principle. "  In Mencius, everyone can be Yao and Shun, and this is the reason. In "University", the way of great learning lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in ending in the ultimate good, this is also the reason."

    "Do you think so?"

    It is all the words of sages and sages, and there is no way to refute it.

    Zhao Han quoted "Zhu Zi Yu Lei", "Book of Rites", "Mencius", and "University", all of which said the same truth-everyone can be like Yao and Shun.

    This is the way of university and the ultimate pursuit of ancient scholars.

    Opposing this statement is digging the foundation of Neo Confucianism, and even digging the foundation of Confucianism.

    Zhao Han continued: "Since everyone can become Yao and Shun, and everyone can be a sage, isn't everyone equal? ??Since everyone is equal, isn't men and women equal, all careers equal, good and bad equal?"

    "I disagree!"

    A teacher stood up and said, "This is still a trick to confuse the public."

    Zhao Han laughed and said, "Where are you confusing the public?"

    The teacher said: "What the sages say is a gentleman."

    Zhao Han looked confused: "In my opinion, the ancient and modern sages only agree that a gentleman is a person? A villain is not a person? A woman is not a person? A pariah is not a person? A craftsman is not a person?" Zhao Han suddenly laughed, "Say I insist  Bai, Your Excellency is a white horse, not a horse, and a solid rock, not a rock!"

    The teacher asked sharply: "Could it be possible for women to send Yao and Shun?"

    "Could it be that women can't send Yao and Shun? Did the ancient and modern sages say this?" Zhao Han asked rhetorically.

    "Sages don't bother to preach such a simple truth." The teacher also began to mess around.

    Zhao Han laughed and said, "Since the sage didn't say it, then you made it up!"

    Suddenly, a child student stood up: "The sage said it. Confucius has a saying: but women and villains are hard to raise!"

    Zhao Han immediately ridiculed: "Your Excellency, have you really read "The Analects of Confucius"? This woman and villain refer specifically to the concubine who charms the lord! Do you dare to go home and tell your mother what you said just now?"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere became cheerful.

    The Tongsheng pointed at Zhao Han and said excitedly: "You are distorting the words of Confucius!"

    Zhao Han was a little speechless: "I'm too lazy to tell you, not only do you not read "The Analects", you also don't know Zhu Zi's annotations. Women and villains, especially refer to charming masters and concubines, that's what Zhu Zi said, I didn't make it up  of."

    The boy hesitated to speak, looked around at the teachers and students, found that they were all holding back their laughter, and immediately sat down in shame.

    The three equals, the equality of good and bad, are the most difficult to be accepted by gentry.

    However, no one dares to refute the equality of good and bad, because it is against the principles of sages.

    There is no way to refute the equality of all industries. Confucius admired Guan Zhong very much, and Guan Zhong was a businessman and other occupations-this is easy to be countered by Zhao Han.

    Then hold on to equality between men and women!

    A scholar stood up and said: "Men are superior to women, and the husband is the guide to the wife. This is the most reasonable thing in the world. I am a scholar of "Book of Changes".nbsp; Some people were hit in the face and had a good idea.

    Someone had his tail stepped on and cursed wildly.

    What Zhao Han said was earth-shattering, forcibly stripping status and personality.  It is like a paw ding relieving an ox, without any hindrance, completely in line with the values ??of Confucianism, and fully in line with the teachings of ancient and modern sages.

    He did not oppose Confucianism, Confucius and Mencius, or Cheng Zhu, but he hammered in a nail.

    A nail that can be accepted by the public.

    The bookboys present would think: Although I am only a domestic slave, I have a noble personality, hundreds of times stronger than the mentally handicapped master.

    The scholars present will think: Although I have no official status, I have a noble personality, which is hundreds of times stronger than corrupt officials.

    The officials present will think: Although I am not in the temple, I have a noble personality, hundreds of times stronger than the beasts of the Manchu Dynasty.

    Even the grassroots, as long as they have both ability and political integrity, they are more honorable than the emperor!

    There is another sentence that everyone dare not think about, and dare not say after thinking about it: What should I do if I am not worthy?

    Should the cruel master be overthrown?

    Should greedy officials be overthrown?

    Should the fatuous emperor be overthrown?

    If personalities are equal, can we pursue equality in status?

    Hush!

    Quiet, I haven't finished yet.

    The autumn wind suddenly blows, rolling the branches and leaves, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind keeps on.

    Zhao Han stopped suddenly, his clothes fluttered with the wind, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Masters, the way of learning lies in Ming Mingde, being close to the people, and stopping at perfection!"

    ? Hong Zhong Da Lu, shakes people's hearts.

    Cai Maode, Zheng Zhongkui, Zhu Zhiyu, and Pang Chunlai all stood up together, their faces full of shock.

    Fei Yuanlu clenched his sleeves tightly and murmured to himself: "You dare to say the last sentence at such a young age, do you want to establish a sect?"

    Back then, Wang Yangming also started his sword from this sentence.

 Volume 2 The sun is under 063【Zhu Zi】

    ? A schoolboy completes his enlightenment and formally studies the Four Books and Five Classics. The first line of scriptures he comes into contact with is: The way to a university lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in ending in perfection.

    It is the beginning of a scholar's dream, it is the beginning of a scholar's academic, it is the motto of a scholar's life, and it is the ultimate pursuit of a scholar!

    ?Ming Mingde: Human beings are born into the world, and they are fundamentally aware of the principles of heaven, but they are blinded by turbid air, so they are muddled.  We should get rid of the filth and re-understand the truth of heaven and earth.

    ?Be close to the people: Zhu Xi believed that it is a new people, a means of eradicating filth, and a process of comprehending the principles of heaven.  Wang Yangming thinks it is close to the people, and he talks about benevolence and love governing the country and the world.  However, both of them believed that "Ming Ming De" must be extended to all peoples.

    Stop at the ultimate good: Make yourself, all people, everything, and everything tend to the perfect state of course.

    Zhao Han was afraid that ordinary scholars would not understand, so he immediately explained the meaning of what he said:

    "Being virtuous, close to the people, and striving for the ultimate good is the principle that everyone can become Yao and Shun. Mencius pursued it this way, Zhu Zi pursued it this way, and Duke Yangming pursued it this way."

    "If personality is born unequal, how can everyone be sanctified? If everyone can be sanctified, how can there be personality inequality?"

    ""University" talks about morality and closeness to the people, which means that personality is born equal. When we stop at the ultimate good, we not only pursue the equality of all people, but also the pursuit of equality and holiness for everyone!"

    "Only by establishing this principle, that human beings are born equal, can we be virtuous, be close to the people, be able to achieve the ultimate good, and be able to cultivate ourselves, govern our family, govern our country and the world!"

    These words are a very conspicuous nail in the foundation of Neo Confucianism.

    Cai Maode, Pang Chunlai and others have long understood Zhao Han's meaning.

    At this time, when he explained in detail, some ordinary scholars also understood, and were excited by these words.

    The theory of personality, everyone is equal, can be integrated into the way of the university, and it is also a supplement and perfection to the way of the university.

    At the same time, Zhao Han is also shouting slogans, let everyone not hesitate, act quickly, spread the idea of ??equality to the world, practice the way of a university, and practice the way of a sage!

    Establish a sect?

    He certainly wasn't qualified enough.

    He just put forward a new idea, and many people have to work together to perfect the theory.

    Zhao Han builds the framework, everyone adds flesh and blood, and countless sages can throw in it.  Many Confucian classics full of contradictions can also be rounded up with the help of the "theory of personality".

    A storm of thought has struck.

    As if a flash of lightning flashed by, Cai Maode suddenly closed his eyes, trembling slightly all over - he suddenly thought of something else.

    Since he was a boy, he has been studying Wang Yangming's "Theory of Pulling the Source and Stopping the Source", and he has always understood its reason but failed to find the right way. Even Wang Yangming himself could not find a solution.

    However, Zhao Han's "Theory of Layout" provides a theoretically supported solution to the key content of "Extracting the Source"!

    It can only be said that it was a mistake.

    ? Zhao Han has never read "The Theory of Pulling the Source and Stopping the Source", because Qianshan Fei's specialization in Neo Confucianism, Wang Yangming's works are not collected much, but Zhu Xi's works have a complete collection.

    Cai Maode was full of thoughts, excited and fearful at the same time.

    The key issue of "pulling out the root and blocking the source" can be solved with the "theory of personality", but the "equality of personality" must be extended to the whole world.

    Cai Maode knows how difficult it is, and the study of mind emphasizes the unity of knowledge and action.  Now he "knows", but it is difficult to "act". While the whole person is suffering and entangled, he can't help but feel the urge to die.

    ? When Cai Maode opened his eyes again, the debate had turned into a vegetable market.

    Supporters and opponents quarreled with each other, but Zhao Han was left in the center of the debate.

    "Ahem!"

    Cai Maode, as the president of the debate committee, shouted loudly: "Silence, silence!"

    No effect, noisy still.

    Fei Yuanlu could only walk around the audience, and as the head of the mountain, forcibly scolded him to be quiet.

    Waiting for no one to speak anymore, Cai Maode finally said: "Defending justice is not cursing, don't be rude. Whoever has questions, take your time one by one."

    Just as Cai Maode finished speaking, the audience started arguing again.

    "For me, I agree with the theory of status. As long as I uphold justice, as long as I practice virtue diligently, although I can't compare with saints, I am still a noble person in the world!"

    "Nonsense, respect is respect, humbleness is humble. How can one be respected and the other be humble, how can one be humble and the other be respected? If everyone thinks this way, there will always be confusion. This is a monster in a troubled world!"

    "The grid does not match, the beasts live in the temple, the night is small and the place is cruel, ?Le Benghuai, ordinary people can't abide by the rules and regulations, Zhu Zi is heartbroken by this!  "

    "Is that true?"

    Zhao Han looked down at Zhu Xi's quotations, and said, "Then let's look at other things Zhu Xi said. Zhu Zi said: In general, etiquette is more important than food and sex.  For those who are not interested in color, only those who are rational, clear, and righteous are the ones who can control them without losing their ears."

    (Zhu Xi said: Etiquette and law are important, but there are priorities in worldly affairs. Only those who truly understand the scriptures and principles can weigh the pros and cons.)

    Zhao Han continued: "This sentence may still be ambiguous. Let's look at the next sentence: Those who cover the scriptures only have a big law, which is justified. Covering the subtle twists and turns is certainly not what the scriptures can do Quan  That is the essence of the scriptures."

    (Zhu Xi said: The Confucian classics only provide the programmatic spirit, and only provide the right truth. The subtleties are hard to describe. Scrutinize the situation, deal with changes, do not copy the scriptures mechanically, and use the scriptures flexibly to truly master the scriptures.  the essence of righteousness.)

    Chen Lide still refused to admit defeat: "This passage is Zhu Zi's debate on the scriptures, not Zhu Zi's approval of widows' remarriage."

    "Okay, let's talk more directly," Zhao Han continued to narrate Zhu Xi's quotations, "Chen Shizhong's sister is unwilling to remarry, Zhu Zi persuaded her like this: Starving to death is a very small thing, and injustice is a big thing, from the secular point of view, sincerity is pedantic!  "

    Sensation!

    The audience was a sensation!

    Countless teachers and students stood up in shock. They studied hard in cold windows, respecting Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism.

    I never knew that Zhu Xi actually persuaded widows to remarry, and even said that "starving to death is a minor issue, but injustice is a major issue" is a pedantic statement.

    It turns out that you are like Zhu Xi

 Volume 2 The Sun is Down 064 [Bullying You for Less Reading]

    Zheng Zhongkui was very shocked by the previous theory of status.

    But at this moment, Zheng Zhongkui was almost dying of laughter, and the scene in front of him can only be described in one sentence: it's a joke to slip the world.

    Zhao Han is also taking things out of context!

    But among the more than 200 teachers and students present, including Cai Maode, the deputy envoy of Tixue, none of them realized that Zhao Han was talking nonsense.

    Cai Maode is indeed a famous Confucianist, but he majored in the study of mind, and he is considered qualified after reading "Zhu Zi Yu Lei", so why would he read the full set of "Huian Ji"?

    "Brother Weiran, your disciple is really hard to describe." Zheng Zhongkui laughed.

    Pang Chunlai asked: "Is he talking nonsense?"

    Zheng Zhongkui shook his head: "It's not all nonsense, it's generally correct. It's just to persuade the widow to remarry. Your students are taking the meaning out of context and bullying those present who haven't read "Huian Ji."

    "What did Zhu Zi say?" Pang Chunlai was quite curious.

    Zheng Zhongkui laughed and said: "Chen Shizhong's younger sister, her husband died and wanted to remarry. Zhu Zi persuaded her to keep the chastity, but he didn't persuade her."

    "Cough cough cough!"

    Pang Chunlai coughed repeatedly, choking on his own saliva.

    Zheng Zhongkui found it even more funny: "You student is very wonderful. He used Zhu Zi's original words and took them out of context. He would persuade him to keep his chastity and change it to persuade him to remarry. But if you read Zhu Zi's writings thoroughly, he took the words out of context, but he didn't  Contrary to Zhu Zi's original intention."

    "How do you say it?" Pang Chunlai was stunned.

    Zheng Zhongkui explained: "For widows, Zhu Zi's views are nothing more than three: in favor of chastity, sympathy for remarriage, and opposition to martyrdom. Chen Shizhong's sister has a special reason, and her deceased husband is also Zhu Zi's friend. Zhu Zi has always declared that if the husband dies,  There are elders and younger ones, and women should observe chastity in order to take care of their parents-in-law and children. This is the reason why Zhu Zi persuaded Chen Shizhong’s sister to observe chastity.”

    "So that's how it is," Pang Chunlai suddenly realized, and asked again, "Is he not afraid of being exposed?"

    Zheng Zhongkui said with a smile: "You are a smart student. There are a hundred volumes of "Huian Ji". Those who can read this book can understand the true meaning of Zhu Zi and will not expose him on the spot. But want to refute his  People, and have no patience to read through this book."

    Pang Chunlai asked: "Is he not afraid that someone will look up Zhu Zi's classics?"

    Zheng Zhongkui asked: "How to check? There are 100 volumes in "Hui'an Collection", and there is no catalog of specific articles. Moreover, Zhu Zi has other works. If I really want to find this article, it will take at least ten days and a half months."

    Pang Chunlai praised: "This son is traitor smart, I am very relieved."

    Regardless of the teachers and students present, they were all shocked by Zhu Xi's quotations at the moment.

    But after the debate is over, I am afraid that few people are willing to devote themselves to studying Zhu Xi's works.  Even if someone reads it, it will definitely not last for a few days.

    Those who can really persevere will surely understand Zhu Xi's true meaning, so how can they expose Zhao Han's tricks?

    If Zhao Han overturns one day, it will be a joy to congratulate, it proves that his reputation has spread far and wide!

    Zhao Han continued to search with the cheat sheet, and soon found new content: "Mr. Chen, let me read another paragraph. This article is from "Zhu Zi Yu Lei". I must have read it."

    Chen Lide did read "Zhu Zi Yu Lei", but it was when he was a boy, several decades ago.

    Seeing that Zhao Han was about to read Zhu Xi's quotations again, Chen Lide couldn't help but retreat, just wanting to escape from this embarrassing scene as soon as possible.

    Zhao Han said: "The original text is quite long, so I will give the general idea. There was a woman in Buquan County who wanted to divorce her husband because her husband was unable to support the family. Zhu Zi's student said: "How can the righteousness of a husband and wife be lost because of a poor family?"  Abandoning each other? It is impossible for the government to agree.' Mr. Chen, do you know how Zhu Zi replied?"

    "Of course it is" Chen Lide hesitated, he really didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, this is not the Zhu Xi in his impression.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Zhu Zi said, you should not just listen to one side of this matter, but understand the situation of both husband and wife. If it is really the husband's fault that makes it difficult for the wife to live, then you can't stick to the general principles."

    Zhao Han stopped suddenly, looked around the teachers and students, and said loudly: "Zhu Zi's words are very clear. Even if you are married to your husband, even if the husband is the guide to your wife, but if the husband has made a serious mistake, the wife can ask for a divorce.  The government should also allow them to divorce! Isn’t this the equality of men and women, and the equality of husband and wife?”

    The debate scene was dead silent, and the three views of Neo-Confucianism were refreshed again.

    Pang Chunlai asked in a low voice: "Is this not taken out of context?"

    Zheng Zhongkui shook his head and said, "No, Zhu Zi really said so."

    Liu Ziren, a talented scholar who was clamoring to rebel, finally couldn't help asking: "What my junior said is true.Is that right?  "

    Zhao Han pointed in the direction of the library and said: "Hanzhu Academy has Zhu Zi's complete works, which have been lying in the library for nearly a hundred years. Teachers and students, if you have any questions, you can look them up and read them yourself."

    "Thank you for reminding me." Liu Ziren thanked him with cupped fists.

    Zhu Zhiyu suddenly walked up to Fei Yuanlu, cupped his hands and said, "Master Fei Shan, Zhu Zhiyu, a scholar of Yuyao, is requesting to borrow a year at Hanzhu Academy."

    Attracted all Yuyao scholars?

    Fei Yuanlu was very happy, and said: "Everyone has the desire to learn, and friends are welcome to stay."

    Zhu Zhiyu lost his father at the age of eight, and his family was in decline.  My elder brother was admitted to Wu Jinshi and became rich, but he still couldn't find the opportunity to read the complete set of Zhu Xi's works.

    It's not that the scholars who really want to learn don't want to read "idle books", but "idle books" are too precious!

    Many times, money can't buy it.

    For example, if Fei Yinghuan wanted to read famous classics, he had to travel to the south of the Yangtze River by himself to find them in the libraries of major families.

    Zhao Han picked up the cheat sheet in his hand again and asked, "Mr. Chen, do you still want to argue with me about Zhu Zi? You don't need to argue boringly, you can talk about the moon. Zhu Zi believes that the moon does not shine, but is bright when it is illuminated by the sun.  Only then have the moon's waxing and waning."

    "There is no need to argue. Zhu Zi said that the sun shines and the moon shines, so it must be the sun shining and the moon shine." Chen Lide left after speaking, turned and left the debate.  He didn't have the face to stay to debate anymore, and he didn't even have the face to stay in Hanzhu Mountain, and resigned when he got his salary for this month.

    Zhao Han asked everyone: "Who wants to argue with me about Zhu Zi?"

    No one answered.

    Zhao Han held a few sheets of paper in his hand, all of which were Zhu Xi's quotations.  And those present here know little about Zhu Xi, so how dare they go up and argue with him!

    Zhao Han asked the crowd again: "Who wants to argue with me about personality status? Who still opposes that personalities are born equal, and they are only distinguished by acquired virtues?"

    At least one-third of the teachers and students disagree with this argument.

    However, thinking of what happened to Chen Lide, these people did not dare to stand up, for fear that they would also be humiliated.

    ?As the president of the debate committee, Cai Maode stood up and said, "Since that's the case, Fei Han should be judged to win today's debate."

    Some students cheered, some students were frustrated, and many people were aggrieved.

    Those who oppose the theory of personality will disperse immediately after the debate is over.

    Those who supported the theory of status surrounded Zhao Han, including several academy teachers, who wanted to ask some related questions.

    Fei Ruyi rushed the fastest, took Zhao Han's hand and said, "Master, would you like to go to Suzhou with me? Qianshan's academics are outdated, so it's not easy to spread your knowledge. If you go to Suzhou, you will be very popular.  It must be fashionable for scholars!"

    "Uh, that's unnecessary," Zhao Han withdrew his hand, and took the opportunity to hand over to another person, "Mr. Zhang, you just mentioned"

    Cai Maode and Fei Yuanlu left the debate side by side.

    Fei Yuanlu asked with a smile: "Inspector, how is today's debate?"

    Cai Maode said: "With a new trend, Hanzhu Academy will surely become famous."

    "It's all thanks to the supervisor." Fei Yuanlu had something in his words, and he was asking Cai Maode to help spread the word.

    Cai Maode didn't answer directly, but said: "I'm still bothering senior, please invite this Fei Han to my room."

    Fei Yuanlu said: "It is my good fortune to be taught by the supervisor. ?

 Volume 2 The sun is under 065 [Datong Society]

    Have lunch on the mountain, and then go to see Cai Maode after eating.

    On the way to the cafeteria, many students followed along.  When Zhao Han sat down, some others gathered around, chattering non-stop.

    There were also a few tables of people with sneer and disdain.

    "This weird talk is just a sensationalist."

    "The head of the mountain should be expelled from the academy!"

    "I heard that this guy is an adopted son, something like a domestic slave."

    "No wonder he said that they are born equal, but it's just a lie of humble people."

    "Hahahaha, just say a few words that everyone is equal, does a domestic slave want to be the master?"

    "If you are a domestic slave, why are you a child? How strange!"

    "It's nothing more than a sharp mouth, which charms its master, and has a name on the master's household registration."

    "Damn it, isn't this a foul on my Fei's family style? I will definitely go to the patriarch to sue!"

    ""

    Zhao Han's side was equally lively.

    A boy student said: "Chen Lide is a hypocritical Taoist. I have long hated his words and deeds. It is really gratifying to be debated today and walk away with his face covered!"

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "Mr. Chen is a teacher after all, as a student, you can just investigate his mistakes, don't slander his morality."

    A scholar exclaimed: "Neither humble nor overbearing, neither arrogant nor impetuous, students are the true Taoists!"

    Another Tongsheng asked: "Your Excellency said that Zhu Zi's words are shocking to the world. Which masterpieces are they from?"

    Zhao Han replied: "There are many "Zhu Zi Yu Lei", "Huian Ji", and other works of Zhu Zi."

    The scholar said in shock before: "I have seen "Hui'an Collection" and even flipped through it. There are a hundred volumes. I was busy with the imperial examination at that time, so I didn't read it carefully. I must read it seriously in the future!"

    "I've only read it roughly," Zhao Han said.

    This is really not modesty. After more than three years, how can I seriously read the Confucian classics?

    For "Huian Ji", Zhao Han is selective

    Do not read the poems directly, read the chapters you like carefully, and skim the boring chapters, only extract the key content, and know the gist of the rest.

    When he reads like this, he also bullies ordinary people.

    Changing to face-to-face Confucianism, Zhao Han can be refuted speechless.

    Obviously, this cafeteria is full of ordinary people.

    Some students wanted to pretend but didn't want to read the book seriously, so they said: "I have studied Zhu Zi thoroughly, can you tell us more about Zhu Zi?"

    This is not to ask for advice, but to get a few words, so that I can use them elsewhere to pretend.

    "Yes, yes, please tell me about Zhu Zi." Everyone agreed and wanted to remember a few more amazing words.

    The meal has already been served, and there is no room to sit around the table. Many people just hold their rice bowls and listen.

    Zhao Han picked up his chopsticks and said, "Let me talk about "Hui'an Collection" first. This book is so shocking. Do you know the story of Confucius punishing Shao Zhengmao?"

    "Of course I know." The scholar Liu Ziren said, holding a bowl.

    Confucius and Shaozheng Mao gathered together to give lectures at the same time.  Shaozhengmao's lectures were more pleasant, and Confucius' students all ran away.  Later, Confucius served as the Chief Sikou, and after only seven days in office, he killed Shaozhengmao and left his corpse for three days.

    ?From "Xunzi" at the earliest, it only said that Confucius punished Shao Zhengmao, and there was no content about lectures and violent corpses.  After repeated interpretations, later generations have spoken with certainty and completed the details of the story.

    The "Historical Records" Spring and Autumn writing style does not discuss any details, only after Confucius became an official and before he killed Shaozheng Mao, the word "you are happy" was added.

    Zhao Han held up his chopsticks and said: "In "Hui'an Ji", Zhu Zi denied that there was such a thing as "Zhu Shao Zhengmao", and he also called Xunzi a vulgar Confucian, deliberately slandering Confucius. Because this story first appeared in "Xunzi", and secondly in  "Lu's Spring and Autumn", there is no record in other pre-Qin classics!"

    "I see!"

    Zhu Sheng was very happy, and there was another topic of bragging.

    Even the tables in the distance, although they despised Zhao Han, listened attentively, lest they miss a word.

    Zhao Han put down his chopsticks, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Everyone knows that Zhu Zi not only scolded Xun Zi, but also entertained Confucius?"

    "Really?" Everyone was horrified.

    Zhao Han explained in detail: "Zhu Zi said that in the chaotic Spring and Autumn Period, rituals and music collapsed, and Confucius' knowledge is useless. This is "Zhu Zi Yu Lei."

    Well, strictly speaking, it is not taken out of context, Zhu Xiyin meant to make fun of Confucius.

    Zhu Sheng was horrified at first, and then excited.

    It turns out that Zhu Zi, like us, has entertained old Confucius.

    & nsp; Liu Ziren stomped his feet angrily: "That can't be compared like that!"

    Xu Ying quickly persuaded: "We are all complaining about Zhu Zi, so don't hurt your peace."

    Fei Ruyi suddenly urged: "Tell me about the famous prostitute."

    Zhao Han explained: "The famous prostitute Yan Rui is the concubine of Tang Zhongyou, a corrupt official who knows the state. Tang Zhongyou also has a friend named Hong Mai. Many years later, Zhu Zi was dismissed due to party disputes, and Hong Mai happened to major in national history. He not only compiled history  They slandered Zhu Zi, and even compiled "Yi Jian Zhi Geng", which made up the story of Zhu Zi and the famous prostitute."

    Zhao Han said to everyone: "Masters, Zhu Zi is against women's martyrdom. Zhu Zi's inscription commending her husband's martyrdom was also fabricated by Hong Mai and his like. Because martyrdom was not a good thing at that time, and would be cast aside by the scholar-bureaucrats.  Those who oppose Confucianism say that Zhu Zi advocated the sacrifice of women to their husbands."

    Zhao Han pointed to the direction down the mountain: "If you follow Zhu Zi's true meaning, the memorial archway for chaste and martyred women can be demolished."

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

    Fei Yuanjian put down the bowl and chopsticks and clenched his fists. His mother is now a chastity archway.

    Liu Ziren suddenly said: "Students study the true meaning of Zhu Zi intensively. Why don't we set up a society and clear the source of Neo Confucianism."

    "I'll join too!" Fei Ruhe immediately responded, this thing is purely for fun.

    Xu Ying asked: "How about calling it Hanzhu Society?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "It's better to call it Datong Society, which means Datong in the world."

    Zhu Zhiyu came over: "Can I join? ?

 Volume 2 The sun is below 066【Zhao Zhuochen】

    In the Ming Dynasty, there were as many literati associations as a cow's hair.

    Wang Yangming joined several clubs when he was young, and the Donglin Party was originally only a Wen club.  I mentioned the Chishui Liujun in southern Jiangxi before. Four of them were killed by rebels when they returned home from the provincial examination. They also formed a Chishui Society.

    There were more than 30 people who signed up for the Datong Society.

    Zhao Han wasn't picky either, and accepted it wholeheartedly.

    Just organize a few more club activities, just join in the fun and expose naturally, and then develop core members from the rest.

    Relying on a group of scholars and children to rebel?

    Rely on them to fight against the Tartars?

    Pure nonsense.

    There is also the Iron Foot Club in Hekou Town, Zhao Han is also happy to make friends.

    However, the same cannot be cited as relying on the fact that trade unions and gangster organizations are not reliable.

    The strength of the Wenhui can be borrowed, the strength of the labor union can be borrowed, and the strength of the Fei family can be borrowed.

    However, it is difficult for these forces to become Zhao Han's basic board!

    ? Without a basic disk, it is like water without a source, like a plant without roots.  Can be on a whim, can go smoothly, but can't encounter major setbacks.

    "Gentlemen!"

    ?After lunch, Zhao Han clasped his fists and said, "Let's discuss the matter of forming an association in detail some other day. I have been summoned by the school inspector, so I have to go and listen to the admonition."

    "Let's go quickly, don't keep the inspector waiting for too long." Zhu Sheng said.

    Cai Maode lived in the guest room, and a healthy servant came to open the door.

    Zhao Han asked: "Excuse me, sir, is the supervisor here?"

    The healthy servant bowed and said: "The inspector has been waiting for a long time, please come in, my little gentleman."

    At this moment, Cai Maode was sitting in front of the desk, with pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table.

    A piece of draft paper was spread out, and key words such as "pull out the source and stop the source", "oneness of all things", "oneness of Tao, heart and essence", "five teachings in harmony", and "theory of grid position" were written on it.

    Obviously, this person is doing learning, and it is very important learning.

    It seemed that there were still some key points that he didn't understand. Cai Maode closed his eyes and pondered hard. He didn't even know that Zhao Han entered the room.

    Zhao Han didn't want to be disturbed, so he sat down quietly and began to close his eyes and meditate there.

    After a long time, Cai Maode suddenly opened his eyes, and immediately wrote vigorously, and more than ten key words appeared on the draft paper.

    When he was about to formally write an article, he finally saw someone sitting next to him.  Cai Maode put down his pen and asked with a smile, "Have you been here for a long time?"

    Zhao Han stood up and bowed: "The late student has met the supervisor."

    Cai Maode was in a happy mood at the moment, and the more he looked at Zhao Han, the more he liked him, and he said in a kind tone: "Sit down and talk."

    Zhao Han immediately sat down and asked, "I don't know the supervisor's call, what advice do I have?"

    Cai Maode asked: "You have such a grand theory at such a young age, did you come up with it yourself?"

    Zhao Han replied: "When the student was ten years old, he seemed to have realized something after reading "The Great Learning". It took another four years to read the Confucian scriptures before he came up with such a ridiculous and generous theory of personality."

    "Ten years old?"

    Cai Maode was both surprised and regretful: "Four years ago, the magistrate of Fengshan County should have recommended you to participate in the child prodigy test."

    In the Ming Dynasty, prefectural and county magistrates could select child prodigies who were about ten years old, and they did not need to pass the county examination or government examination, but directly participated in the Taoist examination.  The chief examiner will take special care of child prodigies, lower the judging standards, and give priority to admission.

    Feng Menglong, who wrote "Three Words", was born as a child prodigy, and became a granary student at the age of eleven.

    Zhao Shichun of the Jiajing Dynasty took part in the child prodigy test at the age of nine, and was suspected of cheating because of his excellent writing.

    When the academic officer asked the question "Zi Yue" in the interview, Zhao Shichun immediately solved the question: Every man is a teacher of the world, and a word is the law of the world.

    Ti Xueguan was very surprised, and used "Zhao Shichun" as the title again.  Zhao Shichun immediately solved the problem: the surname is the first among hundreds of families, and the first name is the first among the four prefaces.

    The child prodigy test is more difficult to cheat than the ordinary Tao test.

    However, whoever chooses one will definitely receive the attention of the whole province. If something goes wrong, the academic officer will bear a lifelong stain.

    Zhao Han wondered: "The late student is still very young, why is the inspector so urgent?"

    Cai Maode sighed and said: "If you want to spread the theory of status, you must at least have the reputation of a scholar. I will support you, and there is no chance. After the scientific examination next year, I will probably be transferred to another post."

    ? Boys' exams, two exams in three years.

    ?Next year, only the subject test will be taken, not the boy test, and no scholar will be admitted.

    All the exams next year will revolve around the township exam.  Scholars who pass the scientific examination are eligible to take the Juren examination, and by the way, the scientific examination is used to test the scholar's studies.

    Cai Maode has been in office for several years. Under normal circumstances, ?He said: "The water of the Canglang is so clear that it can wash my tassels." The dust of "No generals and carts, the dust of Weichen is dark"."

    Cai Maode was stunned for a moment, and laughed again: "Hahahaha, the younger generation is awesome!"

    After laughing, Cai Maode stood up, straightened his clothes, and bowed straightly: "You have made up your mind, and this ambition is broad and difficult, so you must persevere in spite of setbacks."

    "Even though I died nine times, I have no regrets." Zhao Han said.

    Han means both vastness and cleansing.

    "The Cart Without Generals" is a poem describing the hardships and sufferings of the laborers. The laborers push the carts, and the dust covers the sky and the sun.  Laborers can't see the way ahead, can't figure out the direction, are riddled with diseases, and suffer all day long.

    Zhuochen means to get rid of the dirt on one's body and keep the soul pure.

    Cleaning the dust is also to clear the dust for the laborers, remove obstacles for the laborers, and guide the direction for the laborers!

    This laborer can also be understood as a scholar, a common man, and all people in the world.

    "Zhao Zhuochen, Zhao Zhuochen," Cai Maode repeated twice, waved and said, "Go."

    "Retire late." Zhao Han left with his hands in his hands.

    Cai Maode muttered to himself: Is this the ambition of a young man?  Science?  Learning by heart?  Practical?

    ?The mainstream of academic thought in the late Ming Dynasty was to criticize Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming, and seek the way of Confucius and Mencius.  It is advocated that Confucianism cannot be divorced from reality, and that Confucianism must be economical to the people.

    This is called "practical learning".

    No matter how it is done, no matter what the purpose is, the Donglin Party holds high the banner of "practical learning".

    However, the Donglin Party has a complex composition of personnel.

    Some people abandon Confucianism and explore the real Confucius and Mencius.

    Some people revised Confucianism, thinking that Zhu Xi was correct, but it was misrepresented by later generations.

    Cai Maode is also a member of the Donglin Party. He is trying to restore the theory of mind, and believes that Wang Yangming is correct, but has been misinterpreted by his disciples and grandchildren.

    After Zhao Han left the room, Cai Maode picked up the brush, quoted the theory of character, and wanted to write a big article that would shock the schools of mind.

 Volume 2 The sun is under 067【Farming】

    Hanzhu Academy, Library.

    As expected, after the end of the debate, many people came to borrow books in the first two days, and they all borrowed various works of Zhu Xi.

    But starting from the third day, the number of teachers who read books gradually decreased.

    Five days later, there were only a few people left.

    Carefully returning "Zhu Zi Yu Lei", Liu Ziren put away the copied content, clasped his fists and said, "Students, I will leave first. Today I harvest sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes) at home, and I have to rush to work in the field."

    "Since we have farming work, we can't delay," Zhao Han also put down his book and said, "I just have nothing to do, so I'll go down the mountain to help."

    Liu Ziren repeatedly declined: "No need, no need."

    Zhao Han wanted to get in touch with farmers more, so he had to learn how to do farm work first, otherwise he would not be able to communicate at all.

    Under Zhao Han's strong request, Liu Ziren could only take him to work in the fields.

    The two left together, Fei Ruyi didn't want to read alone, so he returned "Mengxi Bi Tan" and left.

    No matter which library, books are not allowed to be borrowed. You can either read it in the library, or copy the contents of the book.

    Zhao Han asked as he walked: "How is the sweet potato harvest this year?"

    Liu Ziren explained in detail: "Last year, I started to try planting, and this year I will know its nature. I heard people say that sweet potatoes must be turned over to control the vines, otherwise, the better the vines grow, the worse the sweet potatoes will bear. I didn't understand this reason last year.  , just blindfolded, maybe we can have a good harvest this year.”

    "So that's how it is. Sure enough, there is a specialization in the arts." Zhao Han has never been in contact with farming.

    Sweet potatoes were introduced to China in the 21st year of Wanli.

    ? Chen Zhenlong, a scholar from Fujian, bribed the natives to obtain potato vines when he was doing business in the Philippines.  Then the sweet potato vines were twisted into the water rope to avoid the inspection of the Spanish colonists, and then the sweet potato vines were brought back to Fujian for planting.

    In the same year, several businessmen brought back potato vines from Japan and planted them in the temple fields of Mount Putuo, Zhejiang.

    Thirty years later, due to the promotion of local officials, sweet potatoes have spread all over Fujian and Guangdong.

    On the other side of Zhejiang, the spread is relatively slow, and it is only planted in a small area in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

    Jiangxi is sandwiched between these three provinces, how could it not be affected?

    The sweet potatoes introduced from Guangdong have now spread all over southern Jiangxi.

    A few years ago, it spread from Fujian to Qianshan County.  It spreads to one town almost a year, and the common people are vying to plant it, and some farmers make a lot of money by selling potato vines.

    The sweet potatoes grown in Liu Ziren's house were planted after buying potato vines from a neighboring town.

    The two went down the mountain together and soon arrived at their destination.

    Like Xu Ying's family, Liu Ziren also has a few acres of private land.  But it was not enough to support his family, so he started farming again. After failing the provincial examination twice, he spent more and more time working in the fields himself.

    "This is the school field that my family cultivates." Liu Ziren pointed to the front and said.

    There are already people working in the field, they are Liu Ziren's parents, wife, younger brother and sister-in-law.  Even Liu Ziren's six-year-old son and three-year-old daughter are helping to pick up the missed sweet potatoes.

    Zhao Han used to know his family members, and after some persistence, he finally rolled up his trouser legs and rolled up his sleeves to help.

    The number of hoes is not enough, Zhao Han has no chance to dig the soil.

    Liu Ziren said: "The potato vines still have a few young leaves, which can be picked for cooking. The old vines can't be discarded, they can be fed to poultry and livestock. There are pig farmers who buy them in the town. If you want to work, you can pick the young leaves.  Bar."

    Zhao Han was a good follower, squatting in the field to pick potato leaves.

    The young leaves of sweet potatoes can indeed be used for cooking, but the season has long passed. No matter how Zhao Han chooses, he can only find a few tender and delicious ones.

    Looking around, Mother Liu has already picked a basket, most of which are old leaves that are difficult to swallow.

    It is estimated that in the next few days, the Liu family will live on potato leaves, and at most add some grains and brown rice to cook porridge.

    And Liu Ziren, a dignified scholar, is wielding his hoe vigorously at the moment, digging out sweet potatoes one by one from the ground.

    Although he received funding from Fei's family, Liu Ziren was not admitted to Linsheng, let alone Juren Master.  As you get older, you get less and less funding.  If you still fail to pass the Juren exam next year, you can only read books for free in the library, and other funding projects will be cancelled.

    The more Liu Ziren dug, the more excited he was, and he said happily: "After turning over the vines and controlling the prosperity, the sweet potatoes have grown better, at least 20-30% more harvest than last year."

    "Congratulations, congratulations, this year's harvest is bumper," Zhao Han said with a smile, "I taught Brother Liu a way to cut sweet potatoes into strips, then dry them and bake them into dried potatoes for sale, so that they can sell for more money."

    "This statement is true.??Liu Ziren is a rebel who can absorb.

    Zhu Zhiyu in front of him seems to be able to test it out.

    Zhao Han asked: "Brother Chu Yu, have you ever tasted what it's like to be hungry?"

    "I have tasted it, and I couldn't get enough to eat every day for a while." Zhu Zhiyu replied.

    "You can eat every day, how can you be hungry?" Zhao Han felt very funny.

    Zhu Zhiyu nodded and said, "That's right, I'm not starving."

    The family fortunes of the gentry and aristocrats are in decline, which is different from what ordinary people imagined.

    When the Zhu family was at its worst, there were only dozens of servants leftBecause of the famine, they couldn't pay wages, and all the servants ran away.

    How miserable!

    Just like that, the relatives came to mock them, pointing to their house and saying, "Look, this is the house of an upright official."

    It is really a family of upright officials.

    Zhu Zhiyu's great-grandfather, posthumously presented to Dr. Rong Lu after his death.  Grandfather, posthumously presented to Dr. Guanglu after his death.  Father, posthumously gifted to Dr. Guanglu, Shangzhu Kingdom.

    He has been a first-rank official for three consecutive generations, and he is in the south of the Yangtze River, so there are only dozens of domestic slaves.  Also due to natural disasters, the wages could not be paid, causing the house slaves to run away completely, what is this not an upright official?

    The two went to the cafeteria together, eating and chatting.

    As we chatted, Zhao Han felt more and more familiar with Zhu Zhiyu's name, but he really couldn't remember where he had heard it.

    Zhejiang?

    Zhao Han had a flash of inspiration and hurriedly asked, "Brother Zhu's home is in Yuyao?"

    Zhu Zhiyu said, "Exactly."

    "Brother Zhu's hometown, is there a river called Shunshui?" Zhao Han asked.

    "Have you been to Yuyao?" Zhu Zhiyu asked in surprise.

    Zhao Han finally smiled happily: "I haven't been there, but I've heard of it."

    Zhu Shunshui

 Volume 2: The Sun is Down 068 [National Affairs]

    "when!

    "Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

    In the bamboo forest.

    Zhu Zhiyu was holding a long sword, Fei Ruhe was carrying a broadsword, the former was exquisite in swordsmanship, while the latter was heavy and powerful, the two fought inseparably.

    Zhao Han cheered from the sidelines to add to the fun.

    "when!"

    Fei Ruhe slashed out with a single knife, and directly knocked Zhu Zhiyu's long sword flying.

    Picking up the saber, Zhu Zhiyu felt extremely distressed, the blade had several gaps, and he couldn't help but sighed: "It's a pity that you don't become a general with your strength."

    Fei Ruhe said: "I also want to take the martial arts exam, but I can't get in the books. I heard that you need to be learned in the martial arts exam."

    Zhu Zhiyu said: "After what happened last year, the essay is not so important in the martial arts exam. You can rest assured to take the exam."

    Fei Ruhe scratched his head: "What happened last year? Why don't I know."

    Zhao Han, who reads the Tang newspaper regularly, explained: "Last year in the martial arts examination, there was a man who could wield a hundred-pound sword, and he was called a warrior in the world. But this person failed. The emperor was furious, and both the chief examiner and the supervisor were imprisoned."  , A total of 22 people were dismissed from the Ministry of War.”

    "Can such a thing happen?" Fei Ruhe was dumbfounded.

    Chongzhen's tactics are not lost to political experts, and many decisions are intentional.

    The dismissal of 22 people from the Ministry of War just happens to be replaced by new ones.

    And taking this opportunity, he announced that there would be a palace examination for martial arts, which would be invigilated by the emperor himself.  In the future, all Wu Jinshi will belong to the emperor's disciples, and Chongzhen wants to directly control the military officials.

    Zhu Zhiyu glanced at Zhao Han and asked curiously, "How did Zhuochen know this news?"

    "Look at the pond newspaper." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    "It's a good idea," Zhu Zhiyu said, "I haven't read the Tang newspaper for a long time, and I still listen to what my brother said about the martial arts."

    Zhu Zhiyu's eldest brother really couldn't pass the exam, so he ran to become a Wu Jinshi.

    Zhu Zhiyu himself can also slash people with a sword.

    Historically, in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, as a Gongsheng student, he was ranked first in all-round talent in civil and military affairs, and was specially recruited by the Ministry of Rites.

    Later, the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty recruited him to be an official three times, but Zhu Zhiyu refused to agree, unwilling to be involved in the vortex of party struggles.

    However, he resolutely joined the Anti-Qing team. With his old age, he went to Japan seven times and Annan six times to raise funds for the rebel army and foreign aid for Ming Dynasty.  Repeated battles and repeated defeats, repeated defeats and repeated battles, and at the age of sixty-one, he went into battle to kill the enemy himself.

    In the end, he was defeated and fled to Japan, where he was almost treated as a national teacher.

    His knowledge formed the "Mito Studies" in Japan, and "Mito Studies" gave birth to the "Reformation School", which indirectly influenced the Meiji Restoration in Japan.

    From a certain point of view, Zhu Zhiyu had a major impact on Japan's Meiji Restoration!

    Hearing that written examinations are no longer important in martial arts, Fei Ruhe was quite moved, and asked, "What kind of thing does the emperor value most now?"

    "Tale strategy, riding and shooting." Zhu Zhiyu replied.

    Fei Ruhe said in surprise: "Oops, I don't know how to ride a horse, and I don't know how to archery either. I will visit a famous teacher tomorrow, and I must learn archery first!"

    After this guy finished speaking, he ran away, leaving only Zhao Han and Zhu Zhiyu in the bamboo forest.

    The structure of the Datong Society is loose, and Zhao Han has no other requirements. He only asks the members to do three things——

    First, accept the "theory of personality", and get out if you don't accept it.

    Second, study the classics of Neo Confucianism, gather on the first and fifteenth day of junior high school, and share their reading experience.

    Third, practice martial arts and art of war together every day.

    The result was very bad. After only persisting for a few days, no one came to the bamboo forest to practice martial arts.

    Only Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe, and Zhu Zhiyu have long been in the habit of practicing martial arts, and if they don't practice one day, they will feel uneasy.

    Zhao Han's long spear has been replaced, and it was forged by a blacksmith.

    With a shot stuck in the ground, Zhao Han sat down cross-legged and said, "Brother Chu Yu, what do you think of the Northwest Liu thief?"

    Zhu Zhiyu put his sword back into its sheath, and said: "I have experienced the catastrophe in Zhejiang, to the extent that I changed my son to eat, and the people have not yet rebelled. It is only because I have survived that period that I have the hope of surviving in the next year. It is conceivable  , the people of Shaanxi have stopped thinking about the coming year. If they don’t, they will definitely die in the coming year.”

    "Do you think the thief can be eliminated?" Zhao Han asked again.

    Zhu Zhiyu shook his head and said: "The common people, if you divide them and listen to them, you will be stupid, and if you join them, you will be gods. Once their hearts change, the river will collapse. If you want to quell the chaos in the northwest, it is not a matter of military affairs, so the people have to eat  ah!"

    Zhao Han asked again: "How do you think the common people can eat?"

    Zhu Zhiyu thought carefully:

    &nYuyu laughed and said, "Being an official can't save Ming Dynasty. Could it be that he rebelled and established a new dynasty?"

    Zhao Han didn't speak.

    Seeing that something was wrong with Zhao Han, Zhu Zhiyu suddenly said in shock: "You want to do things like yellow scarves and green forests?"

    "I didn't say, Brother Chu Yu, don't scare me." Zhao Han immediately denied it.

    This person is not easy to fool, his thinking is too clear.

    And the slogan of equalizing the land is too radical, unless there is chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, don't try to persuade such rich children!

    Just at the moment of embarrassment, Fei Chun came over suddenly: "Brother, the first issue of "Goose Lake Weekly" is finally sold out. Who do you think bought the most?"

    "Which ones?" Zhao Han didn't bother to guess.

    Fei Chun laughed and said, "Businessmen from other places, they are very rich, and they have nothing to do when the goods are loaded on the ship. Many merchants even urged me to publish the second issue as soon as possible. They are still waiting to read "Legend of the Condor Heroes"  Woolen cloth."

    Zhao Han immediately said happily: "Increase the price and print more. The first issue only printed 500 copies, and the price was still very low, so I lost more than ten taels of silver. The second issue printed 800 copies, and the price was directly doubled."  times, otherwise we will have to lose everything."

    "You lose money even if you double the price, so if you increase the price even harder." Fei Chun suggested.

    "Take your time, those who wish will take the bait. ?

 Volume 2 The sun is under the sun 069 [Green Hat Forget Eight]

    "In the theory of status, everyone is equal. Inspector Cai agreed after reading it!"

    "Come and see, come and buy, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" has a new one!"

    "Nurhaci, the chieftain of the Tatars, is Li Chengliang's slave!"

    "The leader of the Tartars has no regard for human relations, and the secrets of the pseudo-golden palace are revealed."

    ""

    Fei Chun and Fei Yu, two bookboys, ran around all over the place, just to sell the "Eel Lake Weekly" to merchants.

    It's a pity that the flow of merchants is too high, and the serialization of novels is prone to fragmentation.

    A merchant who bought a magazine two days ago and had not had time to leave immediately said to his long attendant, "Hurry up and buy the second issue of "Xunkan"!"

    Not long after, Chang Sui bought the magazine back and said to the merchant, "Master, the price of "Xunkan" has been raised. The price has doubled, and the number of pages has decreased a lot."

    The merchant actually smiled and said: "It is true that the price should be raised. It was sold too cheap before. I was afraid that they would lose money and not release the second issue. Isn't the novel worth reading?"

    "The master is benevolent and righteous." The long follower said flatteringly.

    The merchant directly turned to the end, holding the novel slowly

    ? As I was reading it, it suddenly disappeared, which made the merchants feel itchy, so they could only turn back and look at other content.

    "Wonderful!"

    Suddenly, the merchant slapped his thigh and praised: "This Tartar chief Nurhachi was born as Li's domestic slave, and he even seduced his aunt!"

    Pang Chunlai bears the hatred of the country and the family, and writes articles to catch the tartars to death.

    This issue of "On Liaodong" not only said that Nurhachi was Li Chengliang's domestic slave, but also exposed the heinous crimes committed by the Later Jin in Liaodong, and fabricated the dirty things about the palace among the nobles of the Later Jin.

    Merchants have repeatedly observed this article, intending to collect it well and bring it back to Fujian to brag about it.

    It wasn't until the end that merchants began to read "Theory of Gestation".

    At first I was horrified, then I felt reasonable, and then I was delighted.

    He was born as a tenant. Because his family owed rent, he was sold to the landlord to pay off the debt.  After doing odd jobs for several years, and following the young master to do business at sea, he was just an errand runner at first.

    Relying on being smart and diligent, climbing up step by step, and working hard for thirty years, I have the current status.

    He also set up a family business, and even married a beautiful wife and concubine.

    However, he is still a lowly domestic slave!

    This kind of situation is very common. In the Jintan slave change in the late Ming Dynasty, Pan, the leader, was guarding the Beijing camp.  When Li Zicheng captured Beijing, Pan fled back to his hometown with money, took a luxury car and servants to visit the county magistrate, and met his old master outside the county government hotel.  He was beaten violently by his master, knocking out two teeth, and when he turned around, he incited all the slaves in the county to rebel.

    A Beijing camp garrison, rich in money and many followers, turned out to be a domestic slave, and even the contract of sale is still in the hands of the master.

    Such a domestic slave has no shortage of money, no lack of status, only status!

    Well, there is still one thing missing, equality in personality.

    The merchant repeatedly read "Theory of Personality", and even memorized it word by word, and then carefully put the magazine in his arms.

    Covering it in his arms for a while, he took out the magazine again, stroked the cover and said to himself: "A wonderful article in the world, this Mr. Zhao Ziyue is really a strange man in the world. Next time you come to Hekou, you must go and ask for advice in person."

    Suddenly, the merchant shouted: "Hurry up and buy books, and buy a hundred copies of "Ehu Xun Magazine"!"

    On the pier.

    "Buy a hundred copies?" Fei Chun thought he heard it wrong.

    Chang Sui threw a piece of silver: "This is two taels, weigh it quickly, I have to go back to see the master."

    Fei Chun was in a daze the whole time, not knowing why this person was crazy, thinking that the next issue would have to increase the price, at least to get back the cost.

    The merchant immediately regarded it as a treasure when he got a hundred magazines.

    His situation belongs to Haonu, and between Haonu and Haonu, Tongren Club will also be formed.  Buy the magazine back and let the members secretly publicize that the more people know about "Gate Theory", the better!

    Dingsheng Building.

    Today's drama is finally over, and Chen Maosheng returns to the backstage to remove his makeup. He is a newly popular actress.

    Maybe it's because she plays too many women, even if she leaves the stage, her gestures are charming.

    Before Chen Maosheng could sit still, a house slave came in and said with an apologetic smile: "Brother Mao, my master has invited me, so I must go tonight."

    "I see." Chen Maosheng had no expression on his face, but his voice was charming.

    The house slave's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and then he felt chills all over his body, and hurriedly said: "Thenthen I will wait outside, and I have prepared the sedan chair."

    "Go and wait."

    ? Slaves leave?, Chen Maosheng sat there, not even wanting to take off his makeup, but just kept in a daze.

    Cuckolds and turtles are all names for the same group-men of happy background.

    The lowly ones in the lowly ones usually have to wear green headscarves and red shoulders around their waists, so they can be recognized as soon as they go out.

    Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the government was not so strict, but on many special occasions, they still had to wear green headscarves.

    All the troupe partners around him went downstairs to eat, leaving Chen Maosheng alone.

    He sighed secretly, and continued to remove makeup.

    After removing makeup, I still don't want to move.  I caught a glimpse of a book next to it, and took it to read it, but I don't know who left it.

    As for the house slave, just wait slowly.

    "Gate Theory"?

    Good, honorable and humble, in its position; good and humble, equal, in its character!

    Chen Mao stared at that line of words, unable to calm down for a long time.

    Good and bad are equal!

    Good and bad are equal!

    Good and bad are equal!

    Today, the magazine released a new issue, and Zhao Han came to the restaurant again, and by the way, made friends with all kinds of scholars.

    At this moment, he was sitting at the counter reading a book, when suddenly a handsome young man came.

    It looks like he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he walks like a slovenly man.  The water snake's waist unconsciously twisted, driving the hips and chest up and down, and the whole person was like a boa constrictor becoming refined.

    "Excuse me, is this Mr. Zhao Ziyue?" Chen Maosheng deliberately suppressed his voice, trying to make himself as strong as possible.

    Zhao Han asked back: "You know me?"

    Chen Maosheng said: "I often sing in restaurants, so naturally I know Mr.

    "Oh, so you are an opera singer." Zhao Han laughed.

    This smile is very sincere, without any discrimination, Chen Maosheng can feel it.

    He hesitated again and again, and couldn't help asking: "Sir, can good and bad really be equal?"

    Zhao Han explained: "In terms of personality, all people are born equal. Of course, if this person does bad things and has bad conduct, then he is not equal, and his personality is very despicable."

    Chen Maosheng asked again: "I haven't done any bad things, am I more honorable than the gentlemen who have done all the bad things?"

    "Yes, in terms of personality, you are more noble than them, and they are not worthy of carrying your shoes." Zhao Han said firmly.

    Chen Maosheng suddenly laughed, happy from the bottom of his heart.  But he soon wondered again: "But why, these despicable masters have the money and the right to abuse us?"

    Zhao Han replied: "Some of their powers and positions are inherited from their ancestors, and they are blessings handed down from their ancestors. Some are earned by themselves. They have done all the bad things and did not practice virtue, but they have gained benefits."

    Chen Maosheng became more and more puzzled: "I do all kinds of bad things, and I have a low personality, but I can get benefits. I don't do bad things, and I have a noble personality, but I am bullied. How can there be such a reason in the world?"

    Zhao Han asked back: "The beasts of the Manchu Dynasty occupy high positions. Corrupt officials corrupt officials and harm local people. They also claim to be virtuous. How can there be such a reason in the world?"

    Chen Maosheng suddenly said angrily: "Then what's the use of your "Gateway Theory"? Is it written to amuse us scumbags?"

    "I am also a lowly family, I am a refugee, and I am a domestic slave." Zhao Han said.

    Chen Maosheng was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Then what can I do to open God's eyes?"

    Zhao Han said: "Your singer should be Lehu, right? Why is Lehu born low? Even if your ancestors did something wrong, it's been two to three hundred years, more than ten generations, how can you still hold them?"  Don’t let it go. Tell me, is this the truth?”

    "That's the reason." Chen Maosheng nodded repeatedly.

    Zhao Han also said in a low voice: "Since this is the reason, then the court's rules are wrong, and the court should change the rules."

    Chen Maosheng asked: "How can the court change the rules?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "If the imperial court wants to change, it has already been changed. Even the emperor agreed, and the officials did not agree. If they agreed, can they still bully you at will? They refuse to change the rules, just to ride on the cheap  Domineering on the account!"

    Chen Maosheng remained silent.

    Zhao Han said again: "Since the court does not change the rules, if you want to avoid being bullied, you can only build a new court."

    Chen Maosheng suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhao Han in horror.

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "If you want to report to the official, then go, anyway, I don't admit it. I'm a boy, you are an actor, let's see who the official trusts."

    Although Chen Maosheng felt terrified, he was a little excited for no reason.

    After thinking about it, Chen Maosheng asked: "Mr. Zhao, can I still talk to you in the future?"

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "I come to the restaurant three days a month, if you have anything to say, feel free to come and talk to me. You are a Lehu, I am a house slave, we should be brothers."

    "Then I'll go first."

    Chen Maosheng squeezed his fist, and walked towards the door, and the water snake no longer twisted its waist.

    At the thought of spending the night with the old man, he vomited with nausea, his mind was full of what Zhao Han said.

    "Brother Mao, please!" The servant stood by the sedan chair.

    Chen Maosheng resumed his style, walked lightly with lotus steps, slowly sat in the sedan chair, and said sweetly: "Please, please help me buy a copy of "Ehu Xun Magazine."?Are you talking?  "

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "I come to the restaurant three days a month, if you have anything to say, feel free to come and talk to me. You are a Lehu, I am a house slave, we should be brothers."

    "Then I'll go first."

    Chen Maosheng squeezed his fist, and walked towards the door, and the water snake no longer twisted its waist.

    At the thought of spending the night with the old man, he vomited with nausea, his mind was full of what Zhao Han said.

    "Brother Mao, please!" The servant stood by the sedan chair.

    Chen Maosheng resumed his style, walked lightly with lotus steps, slowly sat in the sedan chair, and said sweetly: "Please, please help me buy a copy of "Ehu Xun Magazine".?…

 Volume 2 Yang is under 070 [authorship fees]

    Zhao Han discovered an interesting phenomenon. Those who are most receptive to the personal theory are neither peasants nor workers, but lowly households and domestic slaves!

    At the same time, you must also be literate and have a certain amount of self-thought.

    Take Fei Chun and Fei Yu as examples. They also wanted to join the Datong Society, but they were collectively opposed by the members.

    Not only their masters remained silent, but even poor scholars such as Xu Ying and Liu Ziren were unwilling to stand up and speak out.

    Zhao Han tried to convince everyone, emphasizing that personality is born equal, but he still couldn't get everyone's approval.

    nothing more than——

    I recognize the theory of personality, and I also recognize the equality of personalities.

    However, domestic slaves are not eligible to participate in the assembly of the literary society!

    "Brother, today's sale is really good," Fei Chun said cheerfully, "There was a merchant who bought a hundred copies and gave him two taels of silver."

    Fei Yu complained: "The Iron Foot Club and the Boat Club are stingy, and many people buy a book together. After buying it back, they tell stories to others, listen to a chapter of the novel for a penny, and earn back all the money they bought for the book.  "

    "By the way," Fei Chun said again, "Some merchants asked if they could pay to order. They are all out-of-town merchants, and they only stayed in Hekou Town for half a month. They were afraid of missing the next chapter of the novel."

    Zhao Han slapped his thigh fiercely, and said happily, "This is a good idea, why didn't I think of it. Tell me, if you want to order, just pay a ten-cent deposit and register at the restaurant. From now on, you can directly come to the restaurant counter to pick up books. The restaurant only  Keep it for three months, if you do not take it after the expiration date, the order will be voided, and the deposit will not be refunded."

    "Okay, I'll talk about it right away." Fei Chun acted immediately.

    "I'll go too." Fei Yu shouted.

    These two bookboys are very active in selling magazines, especially this issue of "Gateway Theory"!

    They acted impatiently, wanting more people to understand the principle of "equality of personality".  Even if the status quo cannot be changed, as long as everyone agrees that personality is equal, they will be happy from the bottom of their hearts.

    Peasants are a progressive force, but they also have negative thoughts.

    ? If you want to attract farmers, there must be natural and man-made disasters, and once you make a move, there will be a big commotion.

    And knowledgeable lowly households should be the targets of early competition.

    Near the evening, Zhao Han packed his things and went back to the academy, when Fei Yu suddenly brought a merchant over.

    "Brother, a master wants to see you." Fei Yu shouted.

    This man was wearing cotton-filled Yesa and a big black hat on his head. He cupped his hands and said, "Jinling Luyu, with a great reputation, studied in Wanli for 30 years. I have met Mr. Zhao!"

    "Don't dare," Zhao Han quickly replied, "Your Excellency is a senior, I can only be called a late student."

    Lu Yu immediately smiled and said, "Then I'll ask you, how about calling me a good brother?"

    Zhao Han said: "Brother Guang is too polite."

    Lu Yu took out a copy of "Goose Lake Weekly", and directly turned to the novel part: "My dear brother, is the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" finished?"

    "It's finished." Zhao Han said.

    Lu Yu explained his purpose of coming: "I want to bring it back to Jinling for publishing. Can you send me a manuscript? As for the retouching fee, that's easy to say."

    "How much?" Zhao Han asked directly.

    "How about thirty taels?" Lu Yu asked.

    Zhao Han turned his head to look at Fei Yu: "Seeing off the guests!"

    Fei Yu smiled and said, "Master Lu please."

    Lu Yu stretched out a slap: "Fifty taels."

    Zhao Han said: "Fifty taels is fine, and I will only give you half of the manuscript."

    "It's too expensive." Lu Yu shook his head.

    In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the economy is prosperous, the style of writing is flourishing, the publishing industry is developed, and the manuscript fee is very high.

    But it also depends on the type of work.

    For example, if manuscripts are obtained through special channels, and Cheng Mojizi (compilation of recent Jinshi articles) is printed and distributed, the manuscript fee for such teaching supplementary materials is very high.

    It is necessary to invite a famous artist to write a preface to Cheng Mo Jizi, and the manuscript fee should be at least one hundred taels, or even two or three hundred taels, depending on the status of the famous artist.

    Invite a few more talents to comment on articles, edit and proofread articles, and the manuscript fee will be at least 12 taels per person. You have to treat them to a good meal, print them out, and give each person a few sample books.

    ?This kind of teaching supplementary materials, the printing volume is very large, there is no shortage of sales at all, the profit is not lost, and the manuscript fee is considerable.

    The novel is not good, no one can guess for sure, it is purely a gamble.

    Lu Yu was very optimistic about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he thought for a while and said: "Sixty taels, I want all the manuscripts, how about the author's signature Li Zhuowu?"

    Alas, these profiteers, Li Zhi has been dead for decades, yet they still want to take advantage of them.

    Zhao Han laughs??: "Forty taels will sell you half of it. If the sales volume is decent and you want to finish the publication, the remaining half will be sold to you for one hundred taels."

    Lu Yu was speechless and really didn't want to speak.

    The market is like this. When Cheng Mo Jizi is published, famous writers can write a preface casually, and they can get one or two hundred taels of manuscript fee.

    Zhao Han spent three years working so hard to write "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but the bookseller thought he was only worthy of a few dozen taels of draft fee-this is because the bookseller thought his novel would be a bestseller.

    After some haggling, the final deal was one hundred taels, and both parties felt that they had lost money.

    Zhao Han got 100 taels at a time, and he didn't care about the rest. The author's signature, either a cat or a dog, was fine.

    There is no way for this thing to become famous, and scholars who create novels will only make people laugh.

    "Feng Shen Yan Yi" has been selling well in recent years, but it is not clear who wrote it.  Even, there is no author's signature at all, only "editor so-and-so" is noted, and the real author is still guessed hundreds of years later.

    Lu Yufeng came with a deposit of thirty taels, and invited Zhao Han to have a drink.

    Free dinner, if you don't eat for nothing, Zhao Han also called Fei Chun and Fei Yu to the table.

    While pushing cups and changing glasses, Zhao Han pointed to the magazine and asked, "What do Brother Guang think of this "Geographical Theory"?"

    Lu Yu avoided talking about it, and said with a smile: "I only care about making money, and I have long stopped studying knowledge."

    "Your Excellency came to Yanshan to buy goods?" Zhao Han asked.

    "Buy a few ships of paper and go back." Lu Yu replied.

    There are many places in the country that produce paper, including around Nanjing.  Lu Yushe seeks distance because of the complete range of Qianshan paper, and the price is relatively much cheaper.

    If the trade and transportation in the Ming Dynasty could be shipped by water, the biggest cost would be tariffs (tolls).

    However, tolls can be exempted for pens, ink, paper, inkstones and books!

    Even if nobles and tyrants set up checkpoints privately, they dare not start with cultural items. This stuff is likely to arouse public outrage.

    Zhao Han knocked on the magazine again and said: "Mr. Li Zhuowu has been dead for decades, and I am afraid that no one believes that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is his posthumous work. If "Geographical Theory" is printed on the title page of the novel, wouldn't it be  Is it more convincing?"

    "yes!"

    Lu Yu understood and said happily: "This method is wonderful. Come, let me toast my brother!"

    After a meal, the two made an appointment to copy the manuscript tomorrow.

    The manuscript cannot be taken away by Lu Yu, Zhao Han still needs to use it himself.  You can only ask someone to copy it, and then pay the balance of the manuscript fee after the copy is finished.

    As for the copyists, Zhao Han recommended Liu Ziren and Xu Ying, and it was considered to help them earn some extra money.

    Zhao Han threw out a piece of silver, which was worth two taels, and said to Fei Chun and Fei Yu, "You guys have worked hard these few days selling the ten-day periodical, so let's share it for wine."

    "Thank you brother!"

    The two were overjoyed, and felt that following Zhao Han was even more of a mess.

    Zhao Han is also very happy, he finally made a fortune, which is a huge sum of money.

    The next day, Lu Yu came to the academy and asked Xu Ying and Liu Ziren to copy the manuscript.

    He was in a hurry to get the manuscript, so Fei Yu and Fei Chun joined in, and the four of them copied faster together.

    ? During the lunch break, Xu Ying and Liu Ziren came to express their thanks together.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "They are all my own brothers. If there are benefits, I will naturally think of you. Don't talk so much."

    "Don't say thank you for your kindness, there will be rewards in the future." Liu Ziren cupped his hands.

    Xu Ying stopped talking, and he became more introverted and silent, keeping everything in his heart, and would not easily speak out to provoke right and wrong.

    In the mid-Ming Dynasty, there were still many copyists. With the popularization of movable type printing technology, there were very few book copying businesses in the late Ming Dynasty—except for remote counties and counties.

    Ordinary books can be bought in bookstores, and the price is relatively cheap.

    There are very few people in need of really expensive books, and it is pure luck to help people copy books and make money.

    I don't know when, Fei Yuanjian suddenly appeared and said in a low voice: "Chen Lide is gone, I see he looks resentful, I'm afraid he will slander you everywhere."

    "I am not afraid of being slandered if I dare to propose the theory of personalities," Zhao Han and Fei Yuanjian put their arms around each other, "However, thank you for reminding me, how have you learned recently?"

    Fei Yuanjian said: "I am already studying the scriptures, and I will see if I can be a scholar in two years' time."

    "Let's encourage each other." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    However, it said that the teacher of the academy, Chen Lide, was disgraced in the debate, and he was ashamed to stay in Hanzhu Academy to teach.

    After receiving his salary, the guy immediately packed up and left.

    He ran far away to Shitang Town, joined his classmates when he was young, and got a job in Zhu's private school in Shitang.

 Body 071 [Humanity]

    The Zhu family of Qianshan is not much inferior to the Fei family of Qianshan, but there are no famous ministers in the ancestors.

    Zhu's ancestral house is located in Shitang Town. It is impossible to verify when they moved here.  However, for the genealogy of the Zhu family in Shitang, two celebrities were invited to write the preface, one is Zhu Xi and the other is Xin Qiji.

    The Shitang Zhu family has five major clans and countless small clans, with descendants spread across six townships in Qianshan County.

    They mastered the top-notch technology for making four-page paper, and married with the Fei clan who moved to Shitang Town.  He also married many businessmen and formed a "Zhu's Business Gang", which has spread the commercial influence to Fujian.

    But it is very strange that this family that has been in the paper industry for hundreds of years did not actively establish an academy, but only built several private schools one after another.

    Moreover, there is no special family collection.

    ? They seem to prefer doing business, as long as their children and grandchildren can be admitted as scholars, it is more worth celebrating if they are admitted to Juren.  With fame, then buy an official

    "Brother Duanzhi, little brother little brother oh!" Chen Lide's face was full of grief.

    Zhu Shou just smiled and said, "Did you get angry at Fei's house?"

    Chen Lide took out a copy of "Goose Lake Weekly": "Brother Duanzhi, please read it."

    "Gate theory?"

    Zhu Shouzheng read it carefully, and immediately praised: "This theory is very good, and it can be called a hero!"

    There are many scholars from Zhu's family, but there are not many Jinshi and Juren.  They prefer to do business, and businessmen need "equality of personality". Zhao Han's "personality theory" can be said to be in the arms of the Zhu family.

    Chen Lide said anxiously: "Brother Duanzhi, do you know who wrote this article?"

    Zhu Shouzheng said: "It is from the hands of famous scholars and great scholars."

    "This was written by a fourteen-year-old domestic slave!" Chen Lide said heartbrokenly.

    "A fourteen-year-old domestic slave can have such insights?" Zhu Shouzheng was surprised, and asked, "Fei's domestic slave?"

    Chen Lide clapped the case and said, "It's not Fei's family slave!"

    Zhu Shouzheng sneered suddenly: "This Fei family, guarding the precious land in Hekou Town, started his business by doing business, but he didn't do business well. There are a few famous ministers in the ancestors, and you still want to be famous all the time? The children of the family  If you can’t pass the exam, you will support scholars from your hometown, and now even your slaves are sent to study.”

    "They want to be officials and are crazy!" Chen Lide echoed repeatedly.

    Although the Zhu family and the Fei family have married many times, the conflict between the two families is getting bigger and bigger.

    One is to compete for business, and the other is to fight for land property. If they didn't fight directly, it was considered mutual restraint.

    Chen Lide also said: "I heard that this house slave is a refugee from the north, and was brought back to Qianshan by Fei Yinghuan. A house slave is a house slave, but he has lost his household registration and took the imperial examination as an adopted son. Isn't it a big joke in the world?"

    Zhu Shouzheng sneered and said, "It's really ruining Fei's family style."

    Chen Lide continued: "This house slave, after being so favored by Fei, doesn't study honestly. What is he trying to do by writing articles to promote the theory of personality? It's just remembering the origin of a house slave and wanting to be a real master."

    Zhu Shouzheng nodded and said: "That's true, the wolf's ambition is clearly revealed."

    Chen Lide continued to take eye drops: "Fei Yuanlu, the head of the Hanzhu Academy, not only did not stop him, but held a debate for him. How can I stand it? I just came forward to argue with him. Who knows that guy has sharp teeth,  Taking things out of context and distorting the sages. Fei Yuanlu is helping him again, and I, a dignified Mr. Jingguan, was actually refuted by a boy."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhu Shouzheng took pleasure in his misfortune, pointed at Chen Lide and said, "My dear brother, I'm afraid you will lose face too much. Let me just say, instead of being a good scripture teacher in Hanzhu Academy, you came to my Shitang Town to be a private school tutor.  It’s shameless to stay in Hekou Town.”

    Chen Lide said with a bitter face: "Brother Duanzhi, you and I have known each other for decades, why do you have to be so sarcastic?"

    Zhu Shouzheng read "Theory of Personality" again, and said: "In any case, this article is well written, and the reasoning is very clear."

    Chen Lide said anxiously: "Brother Duanzhi, this is a document that disrupts the country and the family!"

    "Why do you say that?" Zhu Shouzheng asked puzzled.

    Chen Lide explained: "Half of the tens of thousands of paper-making craftsmen in Shitang Town are slaves hired by the Zhu family. There are countless acres in Shitang Town, at least 60% of which are owned by the Zhu family.  What do you think? They will feel that they are not lowly. Since they are not lowly, will they rebel and make trouble?"

    Zhu Shouzheng was stunned.

    Chen Lide continued: "I've heard that the papermakers in Shitang Town are going to make troubles for no reason. If the theory of lattice is popular in the world, it will be even more reasonable for them to make troubles again!"

    ? I wish the owner to build a paper industry. What he fears most is that the workers will make trouble.? On average, there will be a strike every two or three years.

    Especially for several core papermaking procedures, the craftsmen are very expensive, and they cannot be cultivated in a year or a half.

    If other slaves dare to mess around, they can just be killed and buried.

    These craftsmen went on strike, and Zhu Jia was really reluctant to fight.  Not to mention beating to death, even if it is broken, it is tantamount to throwing one's own money into the water.

    Zhu Shouzheng read "Theory of Gewei" again, suddenly felt unsightly, and whispered: "It really is a text that disrupts the country and the family."

    Chen Lide said: "Before the spread is not widespread, we must trample that slave to the ground as soon as possible!"

    "How can I manage the Fei family's slaves?" Zhu Shouzheng frowned.

    Chen Lide said with a smile: "The account card of the Fei family in Ehu Lake is in the hands of Fei Yuanyi. Fei Yuanzhen, the patriarch of the Fei family in Qianshan, has many conflicts with Fei Yuanlu, the head of Hanzhu Academy. As long as you can persuade Fei Yuanzhen,  Fei Yuanyi, you can remove that slave from the yellow book! At that time, Tong Sheng can't do it, so what's the use of an article written by a slave?"

    The household registration yellow book is divided into two parts.

    "Household posts" are kept by the common people themselves, which can be understood as household registration books.

    "Household registration" is kept in the government and is the basis for population statistics and tax collection.

    Initially, any change of household registration or land must be reported to the household department, and the household department's seal will be passed down to take effect.

    Once the population is large, it will not be operable.

    In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, power was forced to be delegated to prefectures and counties, and the magistrates and magistrates could stamp their seals.

    Fei Yuanyi had a conflict with his daughter-in-law, Lou, and had been hiding a big killer, which was useless, and that was the account post in his hands.  He wanted to erase the name "Fei Han" easily, and it was just a matter of having a meal with the county magistrate.

    Once the name is removed from the household post, Zhao Han's childhood will also be gone. This is the master's control over the slaves.

    Zhu Shouzheng pondered for a while, and did not make any statement. He only said: "I wish the family private school can hire a good brother to teach, and the imperial examination will surely prosper in the future."

    "I will do my best to pass on what I have learned in my life." Chen Lide stood up and bowed.

    When Chen Lide left the room, Zhu Shouzheng summoned a servant: "Go and send my greeting card, please come to Shitang on the fifth day of next month, and tell me that I will go boating to enjoy the snow with food and drink. Remember, Fei Yuanzhen,  The two masters, Fei Yuanyi, must be invited here."

    In fact, there was no need for Chen Lide to apply eye drops, Fei Yuanzhen had already done so at this moment.

    Fei Yuanlu expanded his school field, rectified Hanzhu Academy, and dealt with the funeral affairs of Fei Songnian's family, and his prestige within the family increased rapidly.  In addition, Fei Yuanlu was also responsible for compiling the genealogy of the Fei family in Qianshan, and the limelight had already suppressed the patriarch.

    In the past two or three years, any disputes in the clan have gone to Fei Yuanlu to resolve them, but the patriarch Fei Yuanzhen was ignored instead.

    Zhao Han blatantly put forward the personality theory, and got Fei Yuanlu's support, and immediately got involved in the dispute between the patriarch and the mountain chief.

    Goose Lake, Fei Zhai.

    Fei Yuanzhen photographed a magazine: "My dear brother, the house slave that your son received is really capable!"

    Fei Yuanyi read the article, but remained silent and made no statement.

    "Why don't you talk? This is to rebel, to turn himself into a master! Regardless of his own rebellion, he even incited the domestic slaves to rebel!" Fei Yuanzhen said angrily.

    Fei Yuanyi suddenly smiled: "Since he is studying in the academy, he is a student of Yuan Lu, so it is not convenient for me to intervene."

    They are all old foxes, how could Fei Yuanyi be stupid enough to meddle in the fight between the patriarch and the mountain chief?

    Moreover, Zhao Han was brought back by Fei Yinghuan, and it was also Fei Yinghuan who suggested to register.  Although he had conflicts with his daughter-in-law, he didn't want to fall out with his son again.

    Fei Yuanzhen also had a secret weapon in his hand, and he offered a price: "If my virtuous brother can help, I will let my brother and sister enter the ancestral hall."

    Fei Yuanyi was stunned, with a strange expression on his face. After hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed and said, "Let me think about it."

    The "siblings" Fei Yuanzhen referred to were naturally not the old lady of the Fei family in Ehu, but the good concubine who was beaten to death by the old lady.  She is the white moonlight in Fei Yuanyi's heart, the best love of his life, and the biological mother of his second son Fei Yingqi!

    Forty years ago, Fei Yinghuan's biological mother killed Fei Yingqi's biological mother with a stick.

    The second young master Fei Yingqi, for the past forty years, has always called the murderer of his mother his mother!

    Fei Yuanzhen left, but Fei Yuanyi was upset, he muttered to himself: "Qing'er, Qing'er, I have forgotten what you look like."

    Fei Yuanyi is a stubborn old man who forced his granddaughter to die for the sake of fame.

    But once upon a time, he was deviant, escaped from marriage for true love, and was tied up by his father to pay homage.

    Who hasn't been young yet?

    It's just that the cannibalistic etiquette eats away the fresh and lovely humanity bit by bit.

    At this moment, Fei Yuanyi seemed to be awakened, giving birth to an impulse that he hadn't had in many years.  For the sake of his former lover, he would rather have a fight with his eldest son and fulfill the promise he made at the beginning.

    When he made the promise, his lover was dying and was lying in his arms laughing miserably.

    Send your lover into the ancestral hall and remove Zhao Han from the household registration!

    After finding out the account post, Fei Yuanyi swiped a brush, and "Fei Han" turned into a ball of ink.

    "Prepare the sedan chair, prepare the boat, I'm going to the county government!" &lt;/div&gt;ever young?

    "Absurd, stupid, extremely short-sighted!"

    Fei Yuanlu roared and roared, lost his mind with anger, and threw things crazily in the room.

    All children are recorded in the county school.

    Fei Yuanyi removed "Fei Han" from his household registration, and he had no blood relationship with the Fei family. After the county magistrate personally intervened, the Tongsheng file was immediately deleted.

    After a long time, Fei Yuanlu finally calmed down, and went to Henglin's ancestral house with a gloomy face.

    "Shan Zhang, my master is not here." Menzi responded with a lot of smiles.

    "Get out of the way!"

    Fei Yuanlu yelled, and rushed in with his trekking poles in hand.

    How dare the servants stop him?

    All the way into the inner courtyard, Fei Yuanzhen had already received the notification, came to the courtyard to greet him in person, and said with a warm smile: "Yuan Lu, I just wrote a poem, you come to help correct it."

    Fei Yuanlu stood still in the courtyard and asked, "Brother, why did you do that?"

    "What happened?" Fei Yuanzhen looked at a loss.

    Fei Yuanlu said: "Fei Han, a boy from the academy, was expelled from the county school!"

    Fei Yuanzhen was still pretending to be stupid: "Who is Fei Han? Is he a descendant of my Fei family? A descendant of which family?"

    Fei Yuanlu said: "This man is the adopted son of Ehu Fei's family. He is talented and intelligent, and he has a lot to do!"

    "Ehu Fei's family?" Fei Yuanzhen sighed and said, "My dear brother, you don't know that I, a useless patriarch, can't even control the Henglin sect, so how can I manage Ehu Fei's family?  I really don't know about it, if you want to do something, just go to Fei Yuanyi."

    Fei Yuanlu finally couldn't help it, and roared angrily: "If you have any conflicts with me, you can put it out and say it clearly. Fei's cultural heritage has declined, and his descendants are useless. After finally adopting a promising adopted son, how can we destroy the Great Wall!"

    Fei Yuanzhen sneered: "An adopted son can also lean on the Great Wall of the Fei family? I think you are confused!"

    Fei Yuanlu grieved and said: "This son already has academic ideas at a young age, and he has been greatly appreciated by Governor Cai. No matter whether he succeeds in the examination of Jinshi in the future, he will be able to boost my Fei's reputation. Youyou move him  If you remove your household registration, you are truly short-sighted!"

    "The adopted son is a domestic slave, and he is actually registered as a householder? Do you want to let him enter the ancestral hall someday?" Fei Yuanzhen sneered.

    "If you can get things done, so what if you enter the ancestral hall?" Fei Yuanlu was tit for tat.

    "Extremely ridiculous!" Fei Yuanzhen walked away in a huff.

    Fei Yuanlu held up his trekking pole and yelled: "Old man, you are in vain as the chief of the Fei clan!"

    The Fei family of Qianshan and the Ming court all looked the same, but there was no difference.

    Some people want to do things, and some people will make loopholes, so that all their hard work will be in vain.

    Fei Yuanlu staggered and left in a daze.

    A Zhao Han would not make him so sad.

    It was the internal strife in the Fei family that made him feel hopeless, and he lost all energy for a while.

    Taking a boat to Hekou Town, looking up at the majestic three-person pavilion, recalling the majesty of Fei's family on Qianshan Mountain, Fei Yuanlu burst into tears unknowingly.

    Snowflakes fell, and the sky and the earth were white

    "Brother, don't be sad." Fei Chun comforted.

    Zhao Han laughed and said: "It's just a child, if you don't do it, you don't do it, what is there to be sad about?"

    Fei Chun said anxiously: "This is not something that happened in Tongsheng. My brother was removed from his household registration, and he will be just like me from now on. He can only be a servant of the Fei family."

    Zhao Han put away his smile and said solemnly: "Fei Chun, you have to remember. In the world of life, no one is inferior to anyone else. Is a domestic slave not as good as a child?"

    "That is to say, how can a domestic slave and a child be compared?" Fei Chun wept bitterly.

    Fei Ruhe didn't know where he went these days, he probably went home and pestered his mother for money, and wanted to visit a famous teacher to learn riding and archery.

    Fei Chun was left in Hekou Town to sell the "Goose Lake Weekly" with Fei Yu, but he had more contact with Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han once saved his mother from being beaten to death by the mistress Lou.  Zhao Han was generous and generous, and he was born as a domestic slave, which made Fei Chun feel closer.

    A house slave can truly communicate with a house slave.

    No matter how good the relationship between the house slave and the master is, there is always a layer of separation.

    Fei Ruhe can only be the master, Zhao Han is Fei Chun's friend.

    Soon, Xu Ying, Liu Ziren, Fei Yuanjian, and Fei Yu also heard the news and came to comfort them.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Han laughed heartily: "Why do you all have to frown? What's so great about being a child? Don't worry about it again."nbsp;In other places, if you don’t cooperate, you will be killed, if you are willing to cooperate, you will accept it, and if you have conflicts, you will turn a blind eye.

    Take the land conflict in Jiangxi as an example, it has never been resolved, not to mention the Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China was still there, and it was resolved by New China.

    The peasant movement in Jiangxi ran through the entire Qing Dynasty.

    If the commotion was small to engage in tenant changes, and if it was a big one to directly rebel, the Manchu Qing's method was to send troops to suppress it.

    How did it ease in the end?

    The Jiangxi tenant change lasted until the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, and the Little Ice Age has come to an end.  After hundreds of years of experience, the gentry also summed up routines.

    Just like how capitalists deal with workers, first raise the basic treatment, and then carry out internal differentiation.  Let the tenants deal with the tenants and turn class contradictions into contradictions within the class!

    Zhao Han didn't want the country he conquered until he died of old age, and the peasants continued to revolt.

    Although he hasn't rebelled yet, and he doesn't know if he can succeed, he must formulate the correct route.

    Of course, this correct line is definitely not red, that violates the laws of social development, and if you take too many steps, you will be in trouble.  &lt;/div&gt

    "Have they all quit the company?"

    "They're all retired, we're the only ones left."

    "Alright, the rest are true friends."

    ""

    The news that Zhao Han was canceled as a child student came out. There were a total of 34 members of the Datong Club, and only a few were left within two days: Zhu Zhiyu, Fei Ruyi, Fei Ruhe, Fei Yuanjian, Liu Ziren and Xu Ying.

    There is no other reason, just ashamed to be in the company of domestic slaves.

    Of course, each of them spoke in a more tactful way, and they didn't fall out with Zhao Han face to face, but just found various excuses to prove that they didn't have time.

    Fei Ruyi, that gay guy, hasn’t been to the academy for a long time. He said he was going home to study "Mengxi Bi Tan" slowly. When he was reading "Zhu Zi Yu Lei", he was shocked by the saying that the moon does not shine.  develop interest.

    Fei Ruhe had also been missing for half a month, and was arguing for his family to invite a riding and archery teacher.

    Wrapping the steel gun head in a cloth, Zhao Han used the spear as a crutch, and went to bid farewell to the mountain chief Fei Yuanlu on the snow.

    This gun is made of mulberry wood. The mulberry tree grows slowly and tends to crooked. Farmers are reluctant to cut it down. A gun shaft made of mulberry wood is very valuable.

    It’s fine to use white wax poles, but it’s okay to use in folk competitions. Fighting on the battlefield is pure nonsense——“Huizhou beef tendon wood is the first, followed by sword spine wood. The red edge is strong, straight, and fragile. The white wax is soft, and the stick is also  .”

    The real top battlefield spears are all made of composite materials: tough wood as the core, wrapped in leather, and then wrapped with copper wire and rope.

    "Crack, crack"

    Zhao Han staggered forward in the snow with one foot deep and the other shallow, and it was really difficult to use his strength without a stick.

    This year's snow was so heavy that Pang Chunlai's thatched roof was crushed by the snow.  Master Pang can only live in a private school, if he insists on living alone, he will be frozen to death at night.

    In just a few days, many people in Qianshan County froze to death.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Zhao Han brushed off the snowflakes on his body, leaned the spear against the wall, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

    "Come in." A voice came from inside the room.

    Zhao Han pushed the door open and entered: "Boy pay respects to the head of the mountain."

    Fei Yuanlu smiled and asked: "Why don't you claim to be a late born?"

    "Tongsheng has been removed from the name, the boy does not deserve to be called that," Zhao Han said, cupping his hands, "The boy is here to bid farewell to the head of the mountain."

    "well!"

    Fei Yuanlu sighed and said, "I didn't drive you down the mountain either. If you like reading, you can still sit in the academy."

    Zhao Han said: "The boy is the second shopkeeper of the Dingsheng Building. He used to sabotage a lot of work, and he has to work harder in the future."

    "Forget it," Fei Yuanlu said, "it's a good job to be a shopkeeper of a restaurant, but don't lose your poems and books."

    "Boy, I would like to follow the instruction," Zhao Han bowed, "Farewell."

    Fei Yuanlu's mood faded, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

    ?Except for money and manuscripts, Zhao Han didn't bring anything with him, and no one was disturbed, so he went down the mountain alone with a spear.

    The wind and snow blew against his face, and he stepped on the air and fell from time to time, but Zhao Han was in a happy mood, like a bird in a cage that escaped from trouble.

    In another four months, he will be fifteen years old, or sixteen in ancient times.

    The second shopkeeper of the Dingsheng Building is the escape route Zhao Han left for himself.  You can make money while working part-time, and at the same time make friends with all kinds of teachers and scholars, and wait for the time to wait and see the changes in the world.

    In winter, Hekou Town is still prosperous, as long as Xinjiang and Qianshan River are not frozen.

    "Brother, you are here!" Fei Ze (Jian Dan) warmly greeted, this guy is now the accountant of the restaurant.

    Zhao Han leaned the spear against the counter and asked, "How is the business these days?"

    Fei Ze sighed and said, "Business is good, but the gate tax has risen again."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "The court is short of money, so why isn't the tax going up?"

    "It's too much," Fei Ze said in a low voice, "A few days ago, the eunuch came to the county to collect taxes, and the county magistrate couldn't do anything about it."

    "The current Holy Majesty has a legacy of Wanli Lord." Zhao Han joked.

    During the Zhengde period, there were gate tax, market tax, commodity (product) tax and other types on the market.  Due to the establishment of imperial stores everywhere, the eunuchs apportioned randomly, resulting in various types of taxes.

    In the early years of Jiajing, the reform was vigorously carried out, and all taxes were unified, and the "gate tax" was collected uniformly.

    This kind of door apportionment tax is based on the county, and stipulates the amount of tax payable by each county.  According to the amount of tax receivable, the county magistrate asks the county and town to apportion it, collect it once every quarter, and then transport it to the taxation (division) bureau at the end of the year, and the taxation department will hand it over to the central government.

    ? During the Wanli period, it exploded directly, and the emperor sent mine supervisors and tax envoys"Xuelong, this man is quite capable.  But now that the Donglin Party was on the decline, he didn't dare to offend the eunuchs anymore, and he was busy rebuilding the Tengwang Pavilion, and took the opportunity to get some money back.

    After a brief contest, the eunuch won.

    Each family pooled money to pay taxes, only two thousand and one hundred taels, and they could still take it out.  What's more, small vendors also share their shares, and for the gentry, each household can't share much.

    However, what if we continue to increase taxes next year?

    Eunuchs can't get enough to feed, and magistrates and officials are also eyeing!

    This is just a door-to-door tax. They tea factories, paper factories which ones are not increasing labor taxes?

    Pass it on to the workers and peasants!

    ?Wages for workers have declined as a whole; rents for tenants have risen as a whole.

    Even the monthly money of the house slaves has been reduced, and dissatisfaction is brewing at the bottom of society.

    ? As the Chinese New Year approached, the eunuch set up four gates privately in Qianshan.

    One is set in Ehu Town, one in Shitang Town, one in Henglin Town, and one in Shanglu Town, blocking all the commercial waterways in Qianshan.

    The eunuchs did not dare to collect taxes on paper (stationary goods), and set up a separate name to collect "compartment tax", and all passing ships had to pay.

    Now, merchants from other places are also miserable, so they can only bite the bullet and pay.  At the same time, while raising the price of commodities, they squeezed the wages of boatmen.

    The boatmen, the boat club, and the resentment are increasing.

    Zhao Han watched this with cold eyes, only hoping that the eunuch would light a few more fires.  &lt;/div&gt

    Goose Lake Fei Zhai.

    Jingxingyuan, the inner courtyard.

    Lou was flipping through the second issue of "Goose Lake Weekly", Fei Chun knelt in front of her and dared not speak.

    After a long time, Lou said, "Brother Han was dismissed, why didn't you come back earlier and tell me."

    Fei Chun bit the bullet and replied: "Brother Han said that this matter cannot be reported to Madam immediately. The expulsion of Tongsheng is already irreversible. If Madam knew about it early, she would definitely have a conflict with the old man. It is not Brother Han's intention to discord in the house.  "

    "Is Brother Han your master, or am I your master? Why do you listen to him?" Lou asked.

    Fei Chun kowtowed in fright: "The young master is not in the academy, so I don't know who to listen to."

    "Go down." Lou was too lazy to get angry with a book boy.

    "yes!"

    Fei Chun bowed and stepped back.

    Going to the little young master's courtyard, I saw Fei Ruhe was shooting arrows, and there was an archery teacher standing beside him.

    An arrow shot out and barely hit the target.

    Fei Ruhe put down his bow and arrow and said, "When did you come back, brother Han?"

    Fei Chun said in a low voice: "Master, Brother Han's name was erased by the old man, and his childhood is gone."

    Fei Ruhe was suddenly very surprised: "What did grandfather think? That is the household registration that my father let me open. I will go to my mother and tell her!"

    "Madam already knows." Fei Chun hastily stopped her.

    "Hi!"

    Fei Ruhe threw away the bow and arrow in his hand, he was upset and didn't know what to do.

    Just like Fei Chun, because it is a master-slave relationship, there is always a layer of separation from Fei Ruhe.  He couldn't make friends with the young master, but regarded Zhao Han as a true friend.

    The same is true for Fei Ruhe, who unconsciously despised Fei Chun, only regarded Zhao Han as a good brother, and did not treat Zhao Han as a domestic slave.

    However, Zhao Han really became a domestic slave, which made Fei Ruhe very uncomfortable

    Fei Rulan quickly walked into her mother's room: "Why is mother calling her daughter?"

    "Let's take a look," Lou handed out the magazine, "The first article was written by Brother Han."

    Fei Rulan picked it up and read it carefully, and soon said with a happy smile: "It's really well written, help our daughter's family to speak, it would be great if men and women are really equal."

    Lou suddenly said: "Brother Han's name was checked off by your grandfather from the household post, and his childhood fame is gone."

    "What?"

    Fei Rulan was so startled that her smile disappeared, she clenched her fists and said, "Grandfather forced me to die as a martyr before, and this time he expelled Brother Han. Is he really going to kill his granddaughter?"

    Zhao Han was removed from the household post, but he is still a domestic slave.

    However, Lou's original plan was to let Zhao Han pass the examination as a scholar, and then terminate the adoption relationship.  With fame and a career, Fei Rulan can marry her. She won't wrong her daughter, and won't lose face if it spreads.

    How about now, let your daughter marry a domestic slave?

    It is not allowed to marry in, and the son-in-law must also be a good family!

    Lou sighed and said, "Your father wrote to say that he has found a poor scholar for you. Although he is only a scholar, he is also of good conduct. We only need to see if he can win the exam next year. It would be best if he wins the exam. If he can't, you  You can only do what you can to be the wife of a scholar."

    "Mother, is it that nobody wants my daughter like that? Go thousands of miles away and find a poor scholar!" Fei Rulan was a little agitated.

    Lou said consolingly: "After all, there is fame."

    Fei Rulan's eyes were suddenly moist, and she suppressed her emotions and roared: "What's wrong with being a widow? My daughter is also a virgin, and my daughter is also a lady of a famous family. No one in Jiangxi dares to marry, so they pick up talents thousands of miles away? What if?"  After we marry, my husband’s family knows about my past, so how can I not be disgusted? At that time, my daughter will be married far away, and she will be beaten, scolded, and bullied, so it’s better to die now, at least I can get a reputation as a strong woman!”

    "Don't think that way, that scholar has a good character and is not a person who is ungrateful and ungrateful." Lou persuaded.

    Fei Rulan wiped away her tears, and asked, "Have mother seen that scholar? How do you know what he is like? I bet on the character of that scholar for my daughter's whole life. People's hearts will change. If they are selected, they will change even faster."  , I'm afraid my daughter will be divorced!"

    Lou was silent and speechless.

    Fei Rulan's eyes became more and more resolute, and she said decisively: "Mother, my daughter has lost her virginity once when she returns home as a widow. Mother promised me to Brother Han verbally, and now she plans to go back on her word, which means she has lost her first virginity."  Second chastity. If you marry thousands of miles away, then you are humiliated by your husband's family, and then divorced by your husband, what is a daughter? Instead of gambling thousands of miles away, it is better to choose someone who knows everything. Brother Han, I am married  , Mother, please tear up the deed!"

    theJiang secretly got married.  "

    As she said that, Fei Rulan's tone changed: "When the grandfather returns to the west, the father will be in charge of the family, and the daughter will bring her husband back to her mother's house to visit relatives. To the outside world, I only need to say that my daughter was rescued by my husband, and we will marry each other with love."  !"

    Lou groaned and said: "This is a useful method, as expected of my daughter. However, that old your grandfather is very tough, and I don't know if he can live for ten or eight years."

    Fei Rulan smiled and said, "I can't wait ten or eight years for my daughter's life. When the time comes, I'll bring my grandson back and show it to my parents."

    Lou was angry and funny: "You really can say such shameless words!"

    "Mother agrees?" Fei Rulan beamed with joy.

    Lou sighed: "Oh, you've already made up your mind, so what if the mother doesn't agree?"

    (Tomorrow at 12:00 noon, it will be officially launched, ask for the first order and monthly pass.)

    (This book is the first release, and friends from outside stations can download the "starting point app" and come over to have fun with the big guys.) &lt;/div&gt

 Text 075 [Eat the home and eat the next home]

    No matter how enlightened Fei Yinghuan is, no matter how witty Lou is, they cannot make decisions in Fei's family.

    The father is the guide for the son, the real big thing, the old man has the final say!

    It is not voluntary to ask for the separation of the family. If the parents are alive, it is unfilial to divide the family and property.

    Unfilial piety is a serious crime, much more serious than corruption.  If someone is impeached, he can be dismissed directly, and he has no way to defend himself.

    Without the old lady's nod, Fei Rulan would not want to marry Zhao Han in a serious way.

    Then you can only keep in the dark.

    The mother and daughter reached a consensus, and the matter was settled.

    Fei Rulang suddenly felt relaxed all over, as if a bird with dried feathers could fly high into the clouds by flapping its wings.  She knelt upright, kowtowed and said, "Mother, please give Brother Han five acres of land."

    "Even you have found out how the refugees settled down?" Lou said with a smile, "It is said that girls are extroverted, and you haven't married yet."

    "May the mother be the master!"

    With a bright smile, Fei Rulan kowtowed again.

    There are relevant laws in the Ming Dynasty, if refugees have acres of land in other places, they can go to the local government to apply for household registration.

    The period when there were a large number of refugees, such as the beginning of Emperor Chenghua's accession to the throne.  In order to solve the problem of millions of refugees, the government does not even need to show land deeds, as long as there is actually wasteland reclaimed, the government will apply for household registration for the refugees.

    Most of the noble slaves in the middle and late Ming Dynasty brought money to other places to buy land, and then bribed the government to obtain household registration status.  However, once his old master finds out and takes the deed of sale to the governor of the state and county, the new status of this kind of slave will be invalidated immediately.

    The Lou family gave five acres of land as a gift, and Zhao Han could take the title deed and go to the county government to set up his own business.

    Lou fetched some documents and handed one to Fei Rulan: "This is Brother Han's body deed, you can take it now."

    Fei Rulan took it with both hands, folded it up and put it in her arms.

    Mrs. Lou handed over several land deeds: "My married land is all in Jiujiang. This is the land under your father's name. It was all donated by the neighbors during the examination.  If the income is low, you can give it to Brother Han. I will send a family of slaves to accompany him to bribe the master and get the household registration of the good people."

    Contribution means that farmers donate land to nobles and gentry on their own initiative, and then they themselves become tenants for others.

    The fundamental reason is that after the "one whip method", the corvee service was changed to a small service worker who handed in silver.  More and more people escaped from the labor force, and the service money was concentrated on a small number of farmers. As a result, the service money that needed to be handed in each year exceeded the land tax that needed to be handed in.

    As for officials and scholars, it happens that they can be exempted from military service. Could it be that the two sides hit it off?

    A first-rank Beijing official can only exempt 30 shi of grain, but can exempt 10,000 mu of land.  It's not that 10,000 mu of land is not taxed, but that the corvee relationship attached to 10,000 mu of land can be exempted directly!

    As a Juren, Fei Yinghuan can only be exempted from grain and two stones, but he can be exempted from corvee labor on 1,200 mu of land.

    As a result, many farmers donated land to Fei Yinghuan free of charge, so as to escape the heavy labor money.  But these lands cannot be taken away at will, they can only be cultivated by the original landowners, otherwise they will be shameless and lose their reputation!

    In fact, it doesn't matter if it is transferred to Zhao Han's ten acres of land. The government will not change the fish scale register, and those who should escape can still escape.

    Fei Rulan took the land deed with both hands, and carefully put it in his arms.

    Lou took another twenty taels of silver, and said: "Refugees settle down, these are enough, and the master will definitely agree. Don't disturb the county magistrate, the magistrate has a bigger appetite, and he must make things difficult."

    Fei Rulan took the money and kowtowed three times to her mother.

    Lou said with a smile: "When these things are done, when you get married in Jiujiang, I will give you a lot of dowry as dowry, so you will not be hungry."

    Fei Rulan was ashamed and happy at the same time, blushing and said: "Mother is so kind."

    Lou said with a smile: "If you let your younger brother escort you and send the body deed yourself, Brother Han will definitely be moved, and will hold you as a treasure in his hands from now on."

    "Well, my daughter is going to Hekou now." Fei Rulan turned around and ran away.

    Lou shouted: "It's almost night, why can't we wait for tomorrow?"

    "Go early and return early." Fei Rulan said.

    Lou smiled and stopped: "Go again tomorrow, you are so urgent, you will be underestimated, and you will be thought that you will not be able to get married!"

    Fei Rulan could only obediently go back to her room, tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep no matter what.

    She will be eighteen years old in the next year. If it were another woman, she would have already been married.  For such an older leftover woman, even if she is not a widow, it is difficult to find a suitable husband, and most of them can only be married to a decent family.

    In this case, why not find one you like?  TubeThere are also land deeds, please help the master to set up a household if it is convenient for you.  "

    He Can glanced at the document, and suddenly asked: "But the boy student Fei Han who was expelled?"

    "How does Master know?" Fei Lin asked in surprise.

    He Can said with a smile: "Tongsheng's expulsion is a big deal. The old man of your family invited the county magistrate to have a drink in person. I was by the side at that time. I was also there to run to the county school. I saw the expulsion with my own eyes. I can't remember."  That's weird."

    Fei Lin took out the silver: "Master please accept it with a smile."

    He Can glanced at it, just ate the food and stopped talking.

    Sitting on the ground and raising the price, I think the money is too little.

    Zhao Han could only pay for it out of his own pocket, and made up another ten taels, and said with a smile: "Master, please take it to drink."

    "It's easy to handle." He Can immediately accepted the silver.

    Having enough food and wine, He Can took them back to the county government office, and quickly wrote the account notes.

    At this moment, He Can slapped his head violently: "Oh, the big seal is with the county lord, you can pick it up after the new year."

    Fei Lin was dumbfounded for a moment, and turned to look at Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han understood in his heart that he could only withdraw another ten taels of silver: "Master, please hold your hand high."

    He Can accepted the silver taels again, and explained with a smile: "The big seal is really with the county lord, next time I will find an opportunity to get it and stamp it."

    Zhao Han said: "We can wait in the county for a few days."

    "It's hard to say when." He Can was still perfunctory.

    Zhao Han was furious, and wanted to stab this guy to death, never seen such an insatiable greed!

    ? What can be done at the market price of twenty taels has already risen to forty taels, and they are still unwilling to be satisfied after receiving the money.

    Just knowing that Zhao Han is a boy student who was expelled, he felt that there must be something else hidden.  Seeing that Zhao Han was generous, he wanted to continue asking for bribes until Zhao Han's bottom line was revealed.

    Zhao Han suppressed his anger, cupped his hands and asked, "I don't know how to get the account card?"

    "There is still one hundred taels, and all the houses of the county government have to be managed." He Can said.

    Where did Zhao Han get the one hundred taels, and he immediately spread his hands and said, "Return the money, I won't open an account anymore."

    "What money?" He Can began to play dumb.

    Fei Lin finally couldn't help it anymore, and asked angrily: "Master He, aren't you afraid of offending the Fei family? Zhao Han was brought home by Fei Juren himself, and Fei Juren is now the county magistrate!"

    He Can smiled and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

    Of course he is not afraid of this guy, Fei Yuanyi personally visited the county magistrate and erased Zhao Han's childishness, obviously there was a conflict within the Fei family.

    Seeing that they really couldn't afford one hundred taels, He Can tried again: "Fifty taels?"

    Zhao Han didn't answer, but just glared at this person.

    He Can sighed and said, "Forget it, I will give you another ten taels. You are waiting at the inn in the county seat. It will only take a few days. I will find an opportunity to get the seal from the county master."

    Zhao Han took out ten taels of silver, but refused to hand it over: "After three days, I will come to the county government office to get the account card, and I will give you these ten taels then."

    "You can wait at ease." He Can said with a smile.

    After the two left the county office, He Can immediately repaired a letter and summoned an official: "Take a boat to Fei's house in Ehu immediately, and give this letter to Old Master Fei."

    This guy is extremely black-hearted, knowing that the Fei family has conflicts, he even secretly tipped off the news.

    If Fei Yuanyi is willing to pay, he will immediately turn his back on Zhao Han, refuse to open an account, and swallow the money he has already received.

    If Fei Yuanyi is unwilling to pay, he will accept the last twelve taels, and pass the account slip to Zhao Han without hesitation.

    He will not favor anyone else, Mr. He only has money in his eyes!

    Another book is on the shelves, and I am still a little nervous.

    "Dream Back to Mingchun" touched some ways to transform history, this "Zhen" can be regarded as an ambitious work.  At the end of last year, I had a general idea, and I talked with the editor, and the editor said that I am afraid it will be thankless.

    ?Because in the current Late Ming Wen, one can either pass through to become the emperor, prince, or prince; or pass through to become a family member, scholar, general or soldier.

    Presumably you have seen it in the last few chapters, I am going to take the bottom line in this book.  Domestic slaves, vagrants, imprints of a lifetime, such writings in the late Ming Dynasty are not absent, but they are very rare, and I have not seen good grades.

    To tell the truth, I wrote it boldly, and my mental activity is to go back and write about the city if I don’t get good grades.

    Fortunately, with the help of friends, the results of the new book have been rising all the way, with the support of countless new and old readers, and there are many leaders, as well as the Penguin boss's Baiyin League.

    The better the grade, the slower the writing. Starting from the fifth chapter, all subsequent manuscripts will be deleted because I feel dissatisfied.

    The big penguin said that he would be on Jinmeng, but Lao Wang was really not good at it. He had to write all night last night after saving the manuscript for so long.  Every time I save one or two chapters the night before, I feel dissatisfied the next day, and I keep deleting and revising. Rewriting and rewriting is equivalent to rewriting.

    Last night, I drank too much Red Bull, and I couldn't sleep while lying down, and now my head is still dizzy.

    ?This testimonial doesn’t know what it means, I wrote it in a daze, if there are any typos, please forgive me, I am too lazy to check, I uploaded the paid chapter and went to eat to make up for sleep.

    ? I hope I can give you an initial reservation and a monthly ticket, please, thank you.

 Text 076 [Having an affair with the young lady?  】

    Zhao Han just stayed in the inn when he heard noises from the street.

    He hurriedly went out to have a look, but saw a big blue woolen sedan chair in front of him, followed by many entourages with knives, and a long procession of carrying people behind.

    Back in the store, Zhao Han asked the shopkeeper for the news: "Dare to ask, sir, what are the backgrounds of all these people outside?"

    The shopkeeper glanced outside the door, shook his head and sighed: "The eunuch has finally moved, and the gentry and merchants in Hekou Town will have to bear it."

    "I see, thank you for your advice." Zhao Han cupped his hands and said.

    In the Ming Dynasty, there were eunuchs guarding local eunuchs and sub-eunuchs. At first, they only supervised and assisted frontier military affairs, and gradually spread to supervise military and political affairs throughout the country.  Later, the "mining tax supervisor" suddenly expanded, and the eunuch went to the local area to supervise tax collection.

    In addition to the contributions of civil officials and military generals, Gao Huai, the mine tax supervisor, is also to blame for the chaos in Liaodong.

    Gao Huai was originally a gangster in Beijing who collected taxes for others in Chongwenmen for a living.  He heard that Wanli was going to send eunuchs to collect taxes in the local area, so he swung a knife from the palace and bribed his favorite ministers to get the position of tax supervisor in Liaodong.

    Due to his excellent search skills, Wanli gave him the mansion of the guarding eunuch in Liaodong to live in.  Gao Huai was so proud that he proclaimed himself the guardian eunuch, but was impeached by the officials.  After hearing this, Wanli not only didn't blame him, but said, "I'm sure of my fate", and he really promoted Gao Huai to be the eunuch guarding Liaodong.

    In ten years, in Liaoyang alone, all forty-seven large families went bankrupt, and the emperor only got more than 45,000 taels of silver.  More than 90% of the silver taels were swallowed up by the Li Supervisor and Gao Huai himself.

    The big households will pass on all their losses to the common people.

    The big households are all bankrupt, how miserable will the lives of the common people be?

    So there was a demon in Liaodong, who bewitched more than 3,000 people to revolt, and it took half a year to suppress it with the elite of Liaodong.

    After making such a big commotion, Gao Huai actually had nothing to do, and continued to search Liaodong under the emperor's order.  A large number of Liaodong military households, craftsmen, and common people were forced to flee to join the Jurchen, and Nurhachi's strength increased rapidly.

    In the end, it was so outrageous that Emperor Wanli couldn't suppress the public opinion and finally called Gao Huai back.

    Ten years after the eunuch left Liaodong, the Battle of Sarhu broke out.

    At the beginning of Chongzhen's succession to the throne, most of the guarding eunuchs and tax eunuchs were revoked.

    However, only one or two years later, the eunuchs were sent to the whole country.  Because he doesn't trust civil servants and generals, he wants to use conditions to control the army and taxation.

    The news that the emperor reused eunuchs came out, and a large number of people swung their swords from the palace.  There were so many eunuchs that the imperial court had to reiterate the decree that those who came from the palace would be punished, and the neighbors would be punished.

    However, it is said that Wang Heng, the tax supervisor of Qianshan, was originally a civil servant in the capital.

    This guy went to the post alone, spent a year searching, and used money to recruit a large number of local ruffians.  Now, he has privately set up cash gates in the four waterways. In order to facilitate control, he moved his base camp to Hekou Town, which is the center of the entire Qianshan County.

    The fleet rushed to the mouth of the river, Wang Heng came to the door of the Zhejiang Guild Hall, and said to his opponents: "This place is very good, let the people inside move."

    For a while, all the businessmen were driven out, and the Zhejiang Guild Hall became the residence of the eunuch's tax supervisor.

    The dead eunuch has been planning for a long time, and he has already grasped the situation in Hekou Town, but the local gentry are still not aware of it.

    Another half day later, Fei Huan, the leader of the Iron Foot Society, was quietly invited to the clubhouse.

    Fei Huan was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Grassman, byebye byewell, bye bye, Mr. Tax Supervisor!"

    Wang Heng played with a piece of jade pendant and said with a smile: "A few days ago, Hekou Town resisted the tax and even killed the tax collector. I heard that you took the lead?"

    "It has nothing to do with the grassroots, it's the collusion of the gentry and gentlemen." Fei Huan quickly separated the relationship.

    "Come on!" Wang Heng shouted suddenly.

    Fei Huan was so frightened that he trembled all over, kowtowed again and again: "Master, spare your life, Master, spare your life!"

    Wang Heng smiled and comforted: "Don't panic, I don't want your life, and I will give you benefits."

    There were five ingots of two taels of silver, and they were quickly placed in front of Fei Huan.

    Fei Huan didn't understand what he meant, and looked at the eunuch stupidly.

    Wang Heng said seductively: "Iron Foot Club beat up the tax collectors, and even killed two of them. This is a life-threatening lawsuit. Our family is magnanimous, and we can let the past go. You can redeem your merits and become the head of the Iron Foot Club. From now on, only  Listen to our family's orders?"

    Fei Huan evaded and said: "The grass-roots people are just the fourth leader of the Iron Foot Society, so what they say really doesn't carry much weight."

    "Our family says you are the master, and you are the master!" Wang Heng stared with a smile.

    Fei Huan was in a dilemma, but in order to keep himself, he finally gritted his teeth.sp; "Although that guy Zhao Han is young, he is also physically fit and handsome. Could it be that he has an affair with the Young Madam?" The fifth child immediately misunderstood.

    Fei Yuanyi was dumbfounded for a moment, the more he thought about it, the more this possibility became possible, and gradually he was trembling with anger: "Destroying the style of the family, ruining the style of the family, such a thing can be done!"

    Lao Wu hurriedly said: "My lord, you can't publicize this matter, and you can't even mention it."

    "Yes, I can't mention it." Fei Yuanyi was terrified in his heart, for fear that the scandal would be spread, and he would never want to be in the ranks of country gentry in the future.

    The fifth child suggested: "Zhao Han must disappear without a trace."

    Fei Yuanyi thought over and over again, and said: "You take fifty taels of silver, and go to the county town with the messenger, and let Mr. He arrest Zhao Han! Kill him, and find an opportunity to kill him in the prison!"

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many refugees, and a large number of landless farmers fled to the city to seek livelihood. This kind of homeless people can also be regarded as refugees.

    Generally speaking, the government is too lazy to take care of them. If they really want to arrest them all, the county government prison must be full.

    However, the government reserves the right to arrest the refugees, and officials will also look for opportunities to blackmail the refugees in the city!

    Lou really didn't expect that the master was so greedy.  Taking forty taels of silver was not enough, so he ran to Fei Yuanyi to report the letter, and so many incidents occurred.

    In the eyes of Mr. He, Zhao Han is a bedbug, the kind that can be trampled to death as soon as he stretches out his feet.

    Born as a domestic slave, as a refugee, and young, what is it if it is not a bedbug?

    Don't say anything, don't bully the young and poor, in two or three years, before Zhao Han grows up, the master will be transferred away with the county magistrate.

    Therefore, Fei Yuanyi is the one worth making friends with. As long as he has a good relationship with the squire, the master will live comfortably in the past few years.

    Zhao Han gave fifty taels of silver, and Fei Yuanyi also offered fifty taels of silver. The master's choice must be: take away one hundred taels of silver, and obediently listen to Fei Yuanyi's words!

    This approach has never gone wrong.

    The premise is, don't run into lifeless people

 Text 077 [The gun shoots out like a dragon]

    Three days passed in a blink of an eye.

    Zhao Han went to the county government office to get the household registration card, Master He shied away and asked him to go back to the inn and wait for two more days before he got the seal.

    "There is something wrong with this master," Fei Lin pondered, "Does he still want to add more money?"

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "No more money. At least until the account is stamped, no more money can be given, otherwise it will be a bottomless pit."

    Before crossing, Zhao Han also read stories about corrupt officials, and knew about the greed of ancient masters.

    Now I finally experience it in person, which is simply amazing!

    Zhao Han began to go over the details slowly, and the county magistrate procrastinated on doing nothing, just wanting to continue to make money.

    Since you want to make money, it's not right to procrastinate.

    Normally, you should first stamp the account post and ask Zhao Han to increase the price in person. This is the rule of thumb.

    ?Not stamping all the time means that you are not in a hurry to make money. Do you have other plans?

    For the next two days, Zhao Han quietly monitored the county government, and he really discovered the problem.

    Fei Yuanyi's confidant, the fifth slave, went to the county seat with the letter delivery official, and entered the county government office together.

    Old man!

    Zhao Han finally knew what was going on, and he dared to say that this master didn't take himself seriously, and only cared about pleasing the old lady of the Gu family.

    Quickly rushing back to the inn, Zhao Han said to Fei Lin, "Uncle Lin, get out of the city immediately and get ready. When I get to the pier, I'll set sail."

    "What's wrong?" Fei Lin didn't know the situation.

    Zhao Han said: "The old man's servant has just entered the county government office!"

    As the chief manager of Jing Xingyuan, Fei Lin is not a fool, and immediately panicked: "Then let's go back quickly, your identity deed has been torn off, and now you are just a refugee. If the old man wants to harm you, the county government will definitely arrest you.  It will be fine if you enter Jing Xing Yuan."

    "I don't want to embarrass my wife and miss. If I hide in Jingxingyuan to survive, they and the old man will definitely clash again." Zhao Han shook his head and said, "Go to the pier and prepare to sail."

    "Then how did you come up with the idea?" Fei Lin asked.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Uncle Lin, Fei Chunqing and I are brothers, and we are also considered half of your son. No matter what you do, it won't harm you anyway, so don't ask any more questions."

    Fei Lin thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, you are an independent person, so I won't ask any more questions. It's better to be careful!"

    Watching Fei Lin leave the inn, Zhao Han packed his bags and carefully wiped the gun head with a cotton cloth.

    This Qianshan County can't stay any longer. Zhao Han originally wanted to develop his strength slowly, but it's a pity that he danced too hard and was hated by others.

    He can also choose not to leave, hide in Jingxingyuan and continue to be a domestic slave, the government dare not rush into the rich family's house to search for refugees.

    But what's the point?

    Simply doing the big ticket, anyway, I have been aggrieved in the past few years, just to relax my mind, just to stretch my muscles and bones.

    I really thought I was a lowly domestic slave!

    Wrapping the gun head again with a cloth, Zhao Han came to the inn counter and took out some money to pay the room fee: "Shopkeeper, you don't need to make up for the rest of the money, just give me two fire pockets."

    "Okay," the shopkeeper shouted immediately, "bring you two firefoils!"

    Zhao Han checked carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with the two guns, he walked towards the county government office with a spear in his hand.

    "Stop!"

    Walking to the gate of the county government office, the government office guard stopped him.

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said fawningly: "This official, I have an appointment with Mr. He, if you trouble me, let me go."

    With a shout of "Officer", the yamen servant felt quite comfortable.  With a smile on his face, he pointed at Zhao Han's spear and said, "The county government is an important place, so you can't enter with weapons."

    Zhao Han took out a handful of copper coins, bowed his head and said, "Please inform me."

    After receiving the money, the yamen servant smiled even more happily, and trotted in to report, but he still wouldn't let Zhao Han in.

    At about the end of the incense stick, He Can walked out of the county government office and said with a smile on his face: "Little brother, put down your weapon and come in quickly."

    Zhao Han pretended to be angry: "So that Master knows, we have waited for a few days, but we really can't wait any longer. Uncle Lin has already gone to the pier to sail. I will come to the county government to inquire. If it still can't be done, I have to wait for years."  Come back later. It's too chilling for the master to do things like this!"

    He Can explained: "It's done, put down your weapons and come in."

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "This gun is very precious, I dare not hand it over to others."

    He Can comforted: "If you hand it over to the yamen servant, the majestic county government will swallow a long spear from you?"

    "That's not certain." Zhao Han refused to hand over his weapon desperately.

    theThere is something dirty behind the decision.  We arrested him and put him in prison, locked him up for a month, and then wrote to Mrs. Fei.  It is said that there are too many people in the county government, and a few dozen taels of silver cannot be settled, so let him add another two hundred taels of silver.  "

    Dian Shi hesitated and said: "I'm afraid it's not good to offend Fei Shi."

    He Can said with a smile: "What's wrong? Things have gotten into trouble, which of the yamen servants and the six-room clerks don't know that this is something that can be done with fifty taels of silver?"

    Dianshi looked back, and sure enough, the gates of the six rooms were all open, and the civil servants were looking into their brains one by one.

    "Okay, let's do it!" Dian Shi gritted his teeth.

    The master secretary suddenly sneered, and finally spoke up: "Master He, don't you think everyone else is a fool? If you increase the price in the middle of the work, you will definitely anger Master Fei, but you can pat your ass and leave. Jin Dianshi and I will continue to work together."  The mountain is going to dry up."

    "That's right, I will work for half my life!" Dian Shi came back to his senses.

    The master clerk said in a strange tone again: "I can't tell, someone angered Master Fei and secretly put the blame on us."

    Dian Shi pressed the handle of the knife again, glaring at He Can angrily.

    He Can almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and said in pain, "One part of this business will be given to civil and military officials, and the rest will be shared equally between the three of us."

    "Haha, easy to say!" Dian Shi was overjoyed.

    The master also had a smile on his face, and stood there silent again.

    He Can said: "Catch this fellow first!"

    Just as Dian Shi was about to give an order, Zhao Han suddenly shouted: "I still have silver, and I will give you another hundred taels. This official, please let me go!"

    "real?"

    Seeing Qian's eyes open, Dian Shi subconsciously took another two steps towards Zhao Han.

    Entering the attack range, Zhao Han suddenly raised his spear and stabbed out.

    For four full years, Zhao Han had to train a thousand times just for stabbing movements every day.

    He can exert force from all angles, pointing and stabbing, as if using an arm.

    In an instant, the gun shot out like a dragon, straight for Dian Shi's throat.

    Dian Shi is equivalent to the head of the county public security bureau, and also has the highest force value on the scene. If you kill this person, there will be no leader.

 Text 078 [Fire County Government Office] (addition for the penguin boss)

    In Jin Dianshi's eyes, he only saw Zhao Han turn his wrist, and the long spear that was standing upright on the ground suddenly stretched out flat like a magic trick.

    With such a long spear, a young man with a scholarly temperament stabbed it easily with one hand.

    Wei Jianxiong didn't teach the moves much, but Zhao Han learned his essence. Practicing martial arts is nothing more than practicing how to exert strength.

    Borrowing the ingenuity of turning his wrist forward, the body of the gun suddenly slipped out of the palm of his hand.

    The speed is extremely fast, so fast that in the blink of an eye, it has already stabbed Jin Dianshi in front of him.

    The cotton cloth wrapping the gun tip was instantly pierced by the gun tip.  The tip of the gun came out through the cloth and hit Dian Shi's throat. Zhao Han suddenly squeezed his fingers, and the gun body stopped sliding forward immediately.

    After four years of practice and planning for a long time at this moment, this stunning and frightening shot came to him.

    Even, the strength is not too much, and the attack distance is not bad.

    Is it true that during the past four years, I have only been reading books?

    Jin Dianshi didn't have time to react, and didn't even realize the danger.  It wasn't until Zhao Han pulled out the tip of the gun and blood gushed out like a fountain, that he fell down clutching his throat in horror.

    Without stopping for a moment, Zhao Han rushed towards He Can again, shaking his gun and striding forward.

    When Zhao Han took two steps, the yamen servant exclaimed: "Jin Dian Shi was killed!"

    The yamen servants retreated subconsciously, retreated a few steps and came back to their senses, holding water and fire sticks to round up the murderer.

    "help me!"

    He Can turned around to run away, but just half a step away, the back of the head was pierced by a gun.

    He really only wanted to make money, and didn't mean to harm Zhao Han, how could he expect to meet someone who would die!

    Until his death, He Can could not figure out why a refugee who was born as a domestic slave was so cruel at such a young age that he dared to kill people in front of the county government hall.

    Let alone such a thing, he has never even heard of it, only read about it in chivalrous novels.

    The dead rest in peace, and they don't need to see or listen to them in the future.

    Facing the siege, Zhao Han drew his gun and swept across, and the yamen servants retreated collectively in fright.

    Many government servants are hooligans, who come to the government to do white jobs without even a basic salary, and rely on other gray income to earn living expenses.

    It's just asking for food, who wants to fight desperately with the murderer?

    If he died because of this, he might only get three melons and two dates in compensation.

    On the battlefield, soldiers are unwilling to give up their lives.

    In the county government, Zao officials are also unwilling to die.

    As for the six-room clerks, they were so frightened that they closed the doors one after another. They were just holding pens.

    After the yamen servants retreated, they avoided Zhao Han's sweep, and then slowly surrounded them, all counting on others to take action, and waiting to take advantage of it.

    The master quickly fled back to the money and grain depot, closed the door and shouted: "Quickly close the gate of the county government, and catch a turtle in the urn!"

    As soon as this remark came out, several people immediately went to close the gate, trying to trap Zhao Han to death in the county government.

    Zhao Han quickly turned around and chased after him, shot the person who was in the way, and rushed towards the gate.

    "Ah, Wu Liu was stabbed to death!"

    "The thieves are fierce, let's stand shoulder to shoulder!"

    "Surround him to death!"

    "Go up!"

    ""

    These bastard yamen servants usually bully the people fiercely, but when they really encounter murderers, they all shrink back.

    Until now, Zhao Han had killed three people in a row in the county yamen. Not only did he not get beaten, but the yamen servants were scared back.

    "ah!"

    There was another scream, and the person who ran to close the door was caught up, and was stabbed by Zhao Han with a gun.

    The remaining few didn't bother to close the door, and rushed straight to the street.

    At this time, if Zhao Han wanted to escape, there was no obstacle in front of him, and the gate was open in front of him.

    Those yamen servants thought that Zhao Han was going to leave, so they pretended to chase after him.  Just like when a general encounters Tartar invaders, he first defends the city and does not dare to go out, and then pursues after the Tartar leaves.

    However, Zhao Han turned around and fought back, like a tartar attacking his pursuers!

    Seeing this, the Yamen servants braked collectively, turned around and fled in horror.  It's a pity that the rush was too dense, and the one in the front didn't have time to run away. One servant was tripped by a water and fire stick, and another person was stabbed to death by Zhao Han.

    Zhao Hanhu went into the flock, and there were more than a dozen yamen servants left, who were chased away by him and ran around the ground.

    While chasing, kill another person.

    The more casualties, the more fearful the servants became. They were already terrified and did not dare to turn around to meet the enemy.

    The role of Zhao Han taking the lead in killing Jin Dianshi is fully reflected at this moment.  no history? 

    Eyes wide open, no one dared to move.

    Zhao Han smiled contemptuously, picked up Dianshi's saber, and hung it on his waist slowly.

    In front of many yamen servants, he began to touch the corpse carefully, found two taels of silver from Dian Shi, and found more than fifty taels from He Can—of which fifty taels of silver were sent by Fei Yuanyi's family slaves  It was delivered, but Mr. He hadn't had time to go home and save it.

    Carrying two bags of copper coins on his shoulders, Zhao Han walked out of the county government office with a gun, and immediately punctured one of the bags.

    "Come and get the money!"

    Copper coins were dragged along the way, and passers-by scrambled for them.

    Before reaching the city gate, the two packs of copper coins had already been scattered, and even the shop assistants came to the street to pick them up.

    "Hurry up and catch the thief!"

    When the yamen servants saw Zhao Han leaving the county yamen, they immediately became heroic, holding fire sticks and yelling in pursuit.

    After chasing to the street, he was stopped by people picking up money, and the yamen servants simply bent down to pick up money.

    "Oops, the county government is on fire!"

    A yamen servant suddenly turned his head and shouted in horror.

    Behind them, the flames shot up into the sky, and the office of the sixth office of the county government was half set on fire, and the fire quickly spread to the lobby of the county government.

    The magistrate waited in the second hall, and couldn't help but go out to check the situation.

    In an instant, he was so frightened that his vest was sweating, and he didn't care about arresting the murderer. The magistrate stamped his feet anxiously and shouted: "Hurry up, put out the fire!"

    Zhao Han swaggered to the city gate with his spear in hand.

    The gatekeepers guarding the city didn't know the truth, they were all looking at the thick smoke in the city, and no one stopped Zhao Han from going out.

    Arriving at the pier, Zhao Han jumped onto the boat: "Uncle Lin, let's go!"

    Fei Lin pointed in the direction of the county government office, and said dumbfounded: "You you, you, you did it?"

    Zhao Han sneered: "It's nothing but killing a few dirty officials."

    Zhao Erlang's name quickly spread in Qianshan County through the mouth of Liufang's civil servants.

    There are even county schoolchildren who, because they sympathize with Zhao Han's life experience and have long been dissatisfied with the county magistrate, even add fuel to the creation of opera excerpts.

    In the play, Zhao Han was born in a famous family in Beizhi, and his father was an important minister in the court.  Just because he offended the eunuchs and was forced to have his family ruined, Zhao Han wandered alone in the rivers and lakes, and was adopted as a foster son by Fei Juren of Ehu.

    The following plot is similar to Zhao Han's narration, but Zhixian is described as the mastermind behind the scenes.

    During the period, a joke was also made up, saying that Zhao Han had been hated by the county magistrate for exposing the fraud in the county exam.

    At the same time, Zhao Han was portrayed as Lin Chong.  Born with a strong back and a strong waist, capable of fighting wolves and tigers, he rushed into the county government with a single gun and killed hundreds of government servants.

    Zhao Erlang, a hero and a strong man

 Text 079 [Dark Thieves] (addition for the penguin gangster)

    The passenger boat went down the Qianshan River to Hekou Town.

    It hasn't snowed in the past few days, but the snow on both sides of the strait has not melted, and the sky and the earth are white.

    Fei Lin kept turning around and looking back, for fear of being chased by the government.

    "Don't be afraid, Uncle Lin," Zhao Han said with a smile, "The officials are busy putting out the fire, so how can they find someone to chase me?"

    This matter was completely beyond Fei Lin's imagination, and when he looked at Zhao Han again, he was already full of fear.

    After thinking about it for a moment, Fei Lin sighed, "Brother Han, why is this so? At worst, wait another two or three years for another magistrate to take office, and let's go through the household registration process again."

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "Three years ago, I would have endured it. Now that I am fifteen years old, how can I endure such suffocation?"

    Fifteen years old When I was fifteen years old, I was still fooling around with the young master.

    Fei Lin complained in his heart, and asked, "Are you going back to E Lake?"

    "I won't go back," Zhao Han looked at the sky, "The world is so big, I have my own place to go."

    Zhao Han could hide back to Fei's house. Many Jiangyang thieves were harbored by wealthy families, and the government didn't dare to search for them at all.

    But why go back?

    It's a pity that Zhao Han met many people in Qianshan, laid the foundation for three or four years, and had no time to develop further, so he had to choose to give up all of them at this moment.

    One day, he will be killed.

    Zhao Han entered the cabin and took out a pen and paper, wrote several letters in succession, handed them to Fei Lin and said, "Uncle Lin, please forward these letters to Madam, Miss, Young Master and my sister. Brother Chun, please help me pass the message,  Let him study hard and study art."

    "I see." Fei Lin put away the letters, not knowing what to say.

    The Zhao Han in front of him is too strange!

    A house slave, a scholar, suddenly turned into a heroic figure, murdered and set fire to the county government and escaped unscathed.

    This thing only happens in romance novels.

    Zhao Han asked in a low voice: "Can these boatmen be trusted?"

    Fei Lin nodded and said: "Young Madam paid for it, it has nothing to do with the old man."

    Zhao Han said again: "Uncle Lin, when you arrive at Hekou Town, you can go back by another boat. These boatmen, take me all the way, and I will give them money."

    "It's not a problem," Fei Lin reminded, "You have to do it quickly, the eunuch has set up a cash gate in Henglin, so you don't want to be recognized by the sea arresting clerk."

    "Haha," Zhao Han laughed suddenly, "How can the county magistrate get along with the eunuch. When the government posts the sea arrest documents everywhere, I will have left Qianshan long ago."

    In less than half a day, the passenger boat arrived at the mouth of the river.

    Fei Lin was preparing to go ashore with his pack on his back. As soon as he stepped out of the cabin, his face turned pale with fright, and he exclaimed, "Where did this head come from?"

    Zhao Han quickly went out of the cabin to check, and saw a wooden pole erected on the pier at the mouth of the river, with the heads of Sun Xianzong and Sun Zhenzong hanging from the pole.

    It is estimated that it is unlucky. No ship is willing to dock at this pier.

    Fei Lin immediately got off the boat to inquire, and ran back after a while and said, "Wang Heng, the tax supervisor, has already occupied Hekou Town, and his residence is located in the Zhejiang Guild Hall. Iron Foot will seek refuge with the eunuchs, Fei Huan has become the head of the family, and Li Dazhu has become the second head of the house.  The Sun brothers were killed and Liwei was killed, and Zhang Tieniu's whereabouts are still unknown."

    "This eunuch is very skilled." Zhao Han couldn't help admiring him.

    Tax supervisor Wang Heng himself sits at the mouth of the river, sets up checkpoints in Henglin Town to control the western waterway, in Ehu Township to control the eastern waterway, in Shitang Town to control the southern waterway, and in Shanglu Town to control the southeast waterway.

    The commercial route of the entire Qianshan County has been completely controlled by this dead eunuch!

    A year ago, when Wang Heng came to Qianshan to take office, he had only a few entourages around him.

    ?Continue to hustle and bustle, and mess around for another two or three years, making Qianshan angry and resentful, Zhao Han will be able to come back and look for opportunities to make trouble.

    Fei Lin hired another boat to go to Ehu Town. Zhao Han gave several boatmen a tael of silver and asked them to wait on the boat. When they were hungry, Dingshenglou would send them food.

    "Brother Han, will our boat stop here? Do you want to move it?" The boatman asked, pointing to the head on the pole.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "It's okay, it's quite spacious here."

    After finishing speaking, Zhao Han took his spear and went to Hanzhu Mountain. Before leaving, he was going to have an interview with Pang Chunlai.

    It's just a few days before the Chinese New Year, but unfortunately, there is no New Year's flavor this year.

    The gentry and foreign merchants in Qianshan Mountain were all searched and exploited by the eunuchs, so the losses were passed on to the workers and peasants.

    ?The Iron Feet will completely degenerate into a gang of thugs, and the coolies on the docks will be attackedGod is a fart.  Don't look old as a teacher, but the white hair is just an illusion. I am not yet fifty years old.  "

    Zhao Han knew that the teacher was very stubborn, so he didn't try to persuade him much, but asked, "Mister, have you thought it through?"

    "What else are you thinking about?" Pang Chunlai breathed out, "I have been in Hanzhu Mountain Nest for several years, and I have long wanted to change places. This place really suffocates me! When will I leave?"

    "Tonight." Zhao Han said.

    Pang Chunlai immediately sat down to write letters, one to the mountain chief Fei Yuanlu, one to his friend Zheng Zhongkui, and one to his student Xu Ying.

    After handing over the three letters to a familiar teacher, Pang Chunlai took the money and left immediately, and also took out an iron sword and hung it on his waist.

    Zhao Han supported his teacher and walked towards Hekou Town in the bitter cold wind through the snow that had not disappeared.

    It was evening when they arrived, and the master and apprentice were not in a hurry, so they went to Dingsheng Building to have a meal first.

    While eating and drinking, Zhao Han called Fei Ze: "Brother Jiandan, I'm going on a long trip. When Ruhe comes, you can give him the manuscripts in my house, and he will decide whether to print "Ehu Xunkan" again."  Make up your mind, after the price increase, the fourth phase should be able to make money."

    "Where is brother going?" asked Fazer.

    Zhao Han smiled and said nonsense: "As entrusted by the young lady, I went to her natal family in Jiujiang to do business."

    Fei Ze congratulated: "My brother is getting more and more respected by my wife."

    Chat for a while and fill your stomach.

    Zhao Han supported Pang Chunlai, went to the pier to board the boat in the dark, but saw a black shadow climbing the wooden pole.

    Just pretend not to see it, and continue walking to the river.

    The two masters and apprentices quickly entered the cabin, and a boatman went ashore immediately and untied the rope tied to the shore.

    The black shadow failed several times, and finally climbed to the head of the pole, drew the ax to cut off the rope, and took the head of the Sun brothers.

    As soon as the boatman finished untying the rope, Hei Ying ran with his head in his hands, threatening in a low voice with an ax in his hand: "Take me to Henglin by boat, or I will kill you!"

    It is no coincidence that there is only one boat parked near the wooden pole where the head is hung.

    "Okay good man, spare your life!" The boatman was so frightened that his whole body went limp.

    "Hurry up, hurry up!" Black Shadow urged again and again, and the boatman dared not refuse to follow, and walked to the boat one after another.

    This guy rushed into the cabin recklessly, holding an ax and roaring: "Be honest, the Sa family is just taking a boat, don't force me Eh, the little man is here too?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu, it's freezing outside, sit down and warm yourself by the fire. ?

 Text 080 [Murder and Throwing Corpses] (Adding Updates for the Penguin Boss)

    The passenger boat set off overnight, relying solely on a few lanterns to observe the river.

    Zhang Tieniu put the ax back into his waist, took out another cloth bag, and put the heads of the Sun brothers in it.

    Zhao Han introduced: "This is my mentor, Mr. Pang, and this is Zhang Tieniu from the Iron Foot Society."

    Pang Chunlai did not despise the common people at the bottom, clasped his fists and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

    "I don't belong to the Iron Foot Society," Zhang Tieniu said angrily, "The current Iron Foot Society only has a bunch of unscrupulous bastards left!"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Brother Tieniu is really righteous and dares to take the risk to get the head back."

    "The heads of the two elder brothers are different. Even if I die, I have to return their bodies," Zhang Tieniu slapped the table and said, "On the contrary, your little husband, with delicate skin and tender flesh, is not afraid when he sees the head.  Have some guts."

    Zhao Han had no one available around him, so he had the idea of ??accepting his younger brother, so he laughed deliberately: "If you go to the county town to inquire about it, you will know what courage is."

    Zhang Tieniu said disdainfully: "Could it be possible that you help someone get their head back in the county?"

    Zhao Han took the kettle from the charcoal stove, made a cup of tea for the two of them, and said, "Master and Dianshi swallowed my money and wanted to arrest me and put me in jail.  The yamen servants burned the county government to nothing. The household registration yellow book, fish scale book, and tax booklet in the whole county have now been turned into fly ash."

    Zhang Tieniu drank his tea with a smile, spat it out again, pointed at Zhao Han, and said, "You little gentleman, you really know how to brag."

    Zhao Han warmed his hands while holding the teacup, and said with a smile, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the county government office to have a lookOf course, if the county government office is not burned out."

    Zhang Tieniu only thought it was a joke, and said to Pang Chun, "Mr. Pang, do you believe it?"

    "I believe," Pang Chunlai understood Zhao Han's intentions, "if such a disaster happened, we, the master and the apprentice, could only flee in fear of crime."

    Zhang Tieniu looked at Pang Chunlai, then at Zhao Han, and suddenly felt that it was true.

    Otherwise, why did the master and apprentice leave the river mouth by boat overnight?

    Zhang Tieniu was dumbfounded. He felt that taking the head in the dark was already a very "Water Margin" behavior, and he never expected to meet someone who murdered and set fire in the county government.

    "Little Xianggong," Zhang Tieniu gave a thumbs up, "You are a man, Tieniu is convinced!"

    Zhao Han asked: "Do you want to take the heads of the two grandsons to Henglin Town?"

    "If you haven't reached the town, go back a little," Zhang Tieniu said. "The two elder brothers of the Sun family are from Henglin Township.  I can't get along anymore, Fei Huan is sending people to look for me everywhere."

    "Is there a place to go?" Zhao Han asked again.

    Zhang Tieniu shook his head and said: "I haven't figured it out yet, it doesn't matter where I go, at worst, I will change to a pier and do coolies."

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Follow me from now on."

    "Are you going to be a scholar with you? I can't be a school boy." Zhang Tieniu waved his hands repeatedly.

    Zhao Han asked back: "I burned down the county government office, do you think you can still be a scholar?"

    "Uh." Zhang Tieniu was at a loss for words, rubbing his head and giggling.

    Zhao Han asked again: "I plan to rebel in another place, are you interested?"

    "To rebel is to make what? You want to rebel!" Zhang Tieniu stood up in shock.

    The sound was so loud that even several boatmen heard it. They were so frightened that they trembled all over, and had the urge to jump into the river and escape.

    Zhao Han sighed: "Oh, keep your voice down, sit down and talk."

    Zhang Tieniu hurriedly lowered his voice, sat back and asked, "Young Master, are you really going to rebel?"

    Zhao Han didn't answer, just asked: "How many people are there in your family?"

    "All of them died, and I was the only one," Zhang Tieniu recalled. "More than ten years ago, there was a catastrophe in Qianshan Mountain, and all the family members starved to death. I was only fifteen years old at the time. Fortunately, I learned that the county master was kind enough to let me make ends meet by building water canals.  Later, I went to Hekou Town to work as a coolie. Unfortunately, I lived to be almost thirty years old, and I met such a good official."

    Zhao Han began to guide: "If we rebel and seize the world, no corrupt officials are allowed to harm the people! Do you know how Emperor Taizu dealt with corrupt officials?"

    Zhang Tieniu shook his head and said, "I don't know."

    Zhao Han said: "Emperor Taizu also came from a bitter background. His parents starved to death. He grazed cattle for the landlord to make a living. When he encountered famine, he had to become a monk. He couldn't eat enough in the temple, so he went to be a beggar. You  Can he not hate corrupt officials?"

    "That must be hateful, as miserable as mine." Zhang Tieniu slapped the table and said.

    Zhao Han continued to guide: "So, when Emperor Taizu won the world, he had a rule for officials. Who"

    Throwing down the sacks and hoes, they all ran away in a panic, and one guy even threw away the lantern.

    Zhao Han picked up the lantern, lit it again with a torch, and untied the sack to check the situation.

    His face was covered in blood, he couldn't see his face clearly, but he was still alive when he stretched out his hand.

    Zhao Han threw the hoe over and said to Zhang Tieniu, "You dig the soil yourself, and I'll carry you back to the boat."

    "Go ahead."

    Zhang Tieniu came happily to pick up the hoes, he was almost exhausted from digging the soil with the axe.

    Zhao Han returned to the cabin with the sack on his shoulders, and warmed the man first, otherwise he would definitely freeze to death.

    Pang Chunlai asked, "Who is this?"

    Zhao Han replied: "I don't know, someone dumped his body and he's not completely dead yet. Can he see himself alive?"

    Take off the sack, the man is covered in blood.

    Zhao Han soon found a wound on his head, which seemed to be hit by a stick, and a big gash was made at the hairline of his forehead.  There were several bags on his head, all of which were beaten out with sticks.

    There were no medical supplies on board, so Zhao Han could only work with his bare hands, pressing back the opened scalp.

    As for the rest, leave it to fate.

    ?He took out another piece of clean clothes, and tore off pieces of cloth to use as bandages, which was more perfunctory than treating wounds of animals.

    Another piece of cloth was torn off, and Zhao Han wiped the blood on this person's face.

    Suddenly, Zhao Han's expression became weird, and he couldn't help complaining: "Today's encounter is really bizarre. In the morning, people killed and set fire, and in the evening, they met acquaintances one after another."

    Pang Chunlai asked: "Do you know this person?"

    "Talked," Zhao Han explained, "The Danjiao in the troupe is also a hard-working person, I forgot his name.?…

 Body 081 [Aunt and grandma can't be messed with]

    One mile away from Henglin Town, there is an illegal money gate newly set up by eunuchs.

    The office conditions are very simple, and some thatched huts are temporarily built on both sides, which are the officials' rooms for tax payment.  A rope is stretched across the river to block the passage of ships on the river, and only after paying taxes can they be allowed to pass.

    At dawn, it was pitch black.

    On both sides of the Banknote Pass, ships are parked full of passing ships, waiting to pay taxes and pass the customs after dawn.

    The eunuch setting up a private card not only increases the tax cost of merchants, but also greatly increases the time cost.  Jiangmian, which used to be unimpeded, now has to queue up slowly, and does not work at night.

    Zhang Tieniu stood outside the cabin, looking at the checkpoint in front of him, and said with a guilty conscience: "When it is dawn, the eunuch finds that the heads of the two brothers are missing, will they send someone here to stop the checkpoint for inspection?"

    "What are you afraid of? I'm not afraid of burning the county government office," Zhao Han said with a smile, "The worst thing is to disembark and fight, burn all the banknotes and bureaucrats to him, and dump all the money for others to pick up."

    Murder and arson are like child's play.

    Zhang Tieniu murmured in a low voice: "You are still reading sage books, you are the one who kills."

    After waiting for a long time, finally dawn, Chaoguan began to work.

    After queuing for about half an hour, the tax collector boarded the ship for inspection, glanced at Yingfeng Zhaozi, and asked, "Fei's passenger ship?"

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said: "Ehu Fei's family servant, under the order of the young lady, sent some New Year's goods to Jiujiang's natal family."

    "New Year's goods are also goods, and taxes have to be paid according to the cargo ship." The tax collectors are puzzled.

    Zhao Han quickly said: "I made four papers at home, just give some to relatives. My lord, there are regulations in the imperial court, brushes, inks, papers and inkstones can be exempted from tax."

    "Then pay the cabin tax." The tax collector laughed.

    "Thank you for your honor." Zhao Han handed over a bunch of copper coins, all of which were cast by the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing in the first year of Chongzhen, second only to Beijing in the first year of Chongzhen - the coins in the mid-Jiajing period were the best, and now they are rarely in circulation.  Yes, because bad money drives out good money.

    Chongzhen's four-year coin casting was not enough, and all the money was changed to the eunuch, and the weight and materials became worse.

    The tax collector weighed the weight, and he had already estimated it in his mind, which was worth about five renminbi. He immediately smiled and said, "Let's go."

    "Don't give tax stamps?" Zhao Han asked.

    "You still want tax stamps?" The tax collector spread his hands and said sarcastically, "Yes, you have to pay more."

    Zhao Han hurriedly apologized with a smile: "I'll just ask, sir, please go."

    There is a tax stamp with a hammer in the banknote gate privately set up by the eunuch.

    The tax collectors recruited were not regular, and they didn't bother to enter the cabin to check the goods.  If you collect more and less, it all depends on the tax collector's mouth, and if you don't give enough bribes, you will die!

    Zhao Han returned to the cabin and said with a smile: "It's really convenient to collect this tax."

    Pang Chun said: "This is the case with private cards. I saw them a lot when I was in Liaodong."

    Zhang Tieniu lay on the couch and yawned: "Xiao Xianggong, it's almost Chinese New Year, where are we going?"

    Zhao Han replied: "Go to Yiyang County first, and find a doctor to treat the wound."

    "That guy's head was broken, his body was ripped apart, and there are several bruises. I'm afraid he won't survive." Zhang Tieniu closed his eyes and began to doze off.

    Arrived in Yiyang at noon.

    The passenger ship docked at Gexi Water Station, and Zhao Han went to the city to invite a doctor himself.

    The doctor was taken aback, and said, "This is a serious injury."

    Zhao Han said: "You only care about the treatment, no matter whether you live or die."

    The doctor removed the piece of cloth that Zhao Han had wrapped, applied gold sore medicine and re-wrapped it, took the money and left after a lot of fuss.

    Take a boat all the way, pass Guixi, Anren, Yugan, enter Poyang Lake and turn to Ganjiang River.

    If you go to Ruijin, you can actually take a shortcut and go directly from Xinjiang to Fuhe to the south.  But the network of waterways was too complicated, and Fei's boatmen couldn't figure it out, so they could only take a long detour along the Ganjiang River, so as to avoid encountering water bandits

    Chen Maosheng woke up in the evening, and when he moved lightly, he felt pain everywhere.

    "Are you awake?" Zhao Han put the clay pot on the charcoal stove, fiddled with the charcoal and said, "The porridge is cold, I'll warm it up for you."

    Chen Maosheng was a little confused, and said weakly: "Is it Mr. Zhao? Where am I?"

    Zhang Tieniu stepped over and sat down: "Last night, you were almost thrown into the river, but it was the young man who rescued you into the boat."

    "Thank you."

    Chen Maosheng has already recalled what happened last night, he was invited to the house by the bad old man.  Unexpectedly, there are temporary guests at home, the bad old man has been with him all the time, and even went to hold candles to enjoy the snow at night.

    He was arranged to rest in the guest room, but the young master of that family broke in suddenly, threatened and lured him, and made a pickle.?My lord, do you think he will know that we spent money to get him to go to jail?  If this guy dares to kill and set fire in the county government office, someday ifif he comes to our house"

    "No, no, he dare not"

    Fei Yuanyi walked up and down in the study, the more he talked, the more guilty he felt, as if Zhao Han would come to take his life at any time.

    The fifth child reminded: "On the side of the young mistress, Zhao Han has a younger sister."

    "Don't touch her," Fei Yuanyi said hastily, "don't touch his sister, this kind of desperado, you must never provoke her again. He dared to burn the county government office, what else can't be done?"

    Lao Wu explained: "Master, I mean, how about accepting his sister as a righteous granddaughter?"

    Fei Yuanyi shook his head again and again: "No, murdering and arson in the county government is already tantamount to rebellion. The old man is innocent, how can he have anything to do with the rebels?"

    "Then, reward his younger sister with some property?" the fifth child tentatively asked.

    "That's fine."

    Fei Yuanyi took off the jade pendant around his waist, and said: "Take this jade pendant, and pay another five taels of silver, and send it to Jingxingyuan."

    Lao Wu panicked, even more panicked than Fei Yuanyi, because he did it himself.

    There is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days, but to be a thief for a thousand days.

    Zhao Han's whereabouts are unknown now, who knows if he is hiding nearby?

    In case one day he went out to do errands and was stabbed to death by Zhao Han, he would have nowhere to cry for grievances in the underworld.

    Desperado, don't mess with it, don't mess with it!

    Lao Wu felt extremely regretful, took the jade pendant and the silver, and ran to Jingxingyuan to make a good relationship.

    From now on, Zhao Zhenfang will be his aunt.

 Body 082【Fei Family Children】

    Jing Xing Yuan.

    Mrs. Lou sat at the head of the hall, and Fei Rulan, Fei Ruhe, and Zhao Zhenfang stood in front of her.

    "Chunfang." Lou took the lead in calling Zhao Zhenfang's name.

    Zhao Zhenfang immediately took a step forward and replied, "Mother, my daughter is here."

    ?The domestic slaves in the inner courtyard are all adopted sons and daughters in name, and those who are close to each other can call their masters father and mother.

    With a smile on her face, Lou said kindly: "What did your brother write in the letter? If you don't want to say it, then forget it."

    Zhao Zhenfang didn't know what was going on at all, and replied honestly: "Second brother said in the letter that mother sent him to Jiujiang to do important things, and it might take two or three years before he came back. Second brother told me to listen to mother's words, and to read and practice more at ordinary times, not always  Playing with the second sister (Fei Rumei)."

    "No more?" Lou asked.

    Zhao Zhenfang replied: "The second brother also said that when he comes home next time, he will buy me a very beautiful big doll."

    Lou smiled and waved: "Go and play with Second Sister."

    "My daughter will leave." Zhao Zhenfang immediately bowed and exited the room.

    After Zhao Zhenfang left, Lou asked her son again: "Ruhe, what did Zhao Han say in your letter?"

    Fei Ruhe always felt that something was wrong, and said: "Brother Han said that he was sent by his mother to work in Jiujiang, and he might not be able to return for a year or so. He also said that he put the manuscript of the novel in a restaurant, whether "Ehu Xun Magazine" will continue to run  , It’s all up to me. If you want to continue, you can discuss it with Xu Ying, Liu Ziren, and Fei Yuanjian. After the price increase for the fourth phase, it will definitely make money.”

    "That's all?" Lou asked.

    Fei Ruhe nodded and said, "That's all. By the way, he also asked me to practice riding and shooting."

    Lou waved his hand and said, "You go down too."

    There are only mother and daughter left in the house.

    Looking at each other, we all know the truth.

    Fei Rulan couldn't hold back at this time, and took the initiative to say: "Mother, brother Han murdered and set fire to the county government."

    "I know," Lou said, "Mother made a mistake in this matter. Unexpectedly, the master is so greedy. Brother Han promised to give him fifty taels, but this idiot is still not satisfied, so he secretly sent someone to inform the old master."

    Fei Rulan couldn't care less about resenting her grandfather, and said anxiously: "Brother Han can escape from such a big incident?"

    "You still worry about him by now?" Lou was angry and funny, with a hint of helplessness, "I knew he had abilities and a temper, but I never expected that his abilities and temper  That's so big! Fei Lin came back and told me that Zhao Han killed his master and Dianshi, set fire to the county government office, and left the city with his feet intact. Not to mention any injuries, even his clothes were intact.  Not even blood!"

    Fei Rulan was dumbfounded. She didn't know the details before, and she was afraid that Zhao Han would be chopped and injured.

    Now that Lou said this, Fei Rulan finally felt relieved, and even began to imagine the heroic scene of Zhao Han killing the Quartet.

    Lou asked: "What did he tell you in the letter?"

    Fei Rulan replied: "Brother Han said that if my daughter doesn't want to wait for him, she can find another good family to marry. If the daughter is willing to guard, it will be two or three years at the shortest time, or four or five years later. He will definitely return to Qianshan Mountain  When the time comes, we will also decide on Chunfang's (Zhao Zhenfang) marriage."

    "You still have a conscience, and I didn't force you to stick to it," Lou asked, "What about your own idea?"

    Fei Rulan looked down at the ground, not daring to meet her mother's gaze, her voice was soft but firm: "My daughter has a private life with him, of course we have to wait patiently."

    In Fei Rulan's mind, a hug in Dingshenglou is already a private life.

    Lou did not reprimand her daughter, nor did she agree with her, but calmly analyzed: "Zhao Han has always been smart and decisive. Even if he is defiled and sent to prison, he can still wait for me to save people with money. Why did he let Fei Lin go out of the city first and fight people by himself?"  , and set fire to the county government office, completely cutting off your own way of retreat?"

    Fei Rulan thought carefully, but couldn't figure it out.

    "It's definitely not young and energetic." Lou shook his head and frowned, thinking hard, "When he asked Fei Lin to leave the city, he planned everything. He couldn't wait to leave Fei's house, and he couldn't wait to leave Qianshan.  do what?"

    "Daughter can't figure it out." Fei Rulan said.

    "I can't figure it out either," Lou continued to analyze, "He is a loyal person, and he would never leave his own sister alone. But he left like this, and wrote to me to take care of his younger sister, saying that one day there will be a reward  .He's sure he can come back, but what exactly is he going to do?"

    Fei Rulan said: "Brother Han must have great ambitions."

    Mrs. Lou really couldn't figure it out, so she waved for her daughter to go ahead."If you are a scholar in the county, you don't have to be a son-in-law. If you are from another place, you must recruit a son-in-law. I am afraid that your daughter will suffer if she gets married. It is okay to be a child, but you must have a talent and reputation, and you must be filial to your parents."

    "That's easy." The matchmaker cheered up.

    Lou suddenly said with a stern face: "Until this matter is settled, you are not allowed to confide a word to the outside world. If I hear gossip, you can decide for yourself!"

    "I will definitely not talk nonsense. If I tell others, I will be gutted to death." The matchmaker hurriedly swore.

    The matchmaker received the reward and left happily.

    However, Fei Rulan broke in suddenly, and said expressionlessly, "Mother, was it the matchmaker who left just now?"

    Lou said with a smile: "It is indeed a matchmaker, and Ruhe has also reached the age of marriage. I will ask the matchmaker to find a few daughters from good families."

    "When the Fei family marries a daughter-in-law, shouldn't they marry into a rich family?" Fei Rulan sneered.

    Lou said: "After all, we have to pick and choose."

    Fei Rulan said: "Mother, if you force your daughter too, then she will have to die."

    Lou Shi finally couldn't hold back, his face was ugly, and he forced a smile: "You think too much, how can mother force you."

    "My daughter said she would wait for Brother Han for a few years, and she won't change her mind," Fei Rulan said, "Brother Han is now a wanted criminal at sea, and Mother is definitely not willing. If she wants to force her, her daughter will die. Mother thinks about it carefully."  Think about it."

    After Fei Rulan finished speaking, she left, and Lou was so angry that she wanted to throw something.

    At least she held back, Lou called Dong Fu, and handed over a tael of silver: "Catch up with the matchmaker, and let her stop busy work, my daughter has already made a fiancé!"

    Just as Dongfu left, Fei Ze (Jian Dan) was brought in suddenly, holding a letter in his hand and saying, "Mother, the young master has escaped!"

    It was Fei Ruhe who left a letter in the restaurant, and then took Fei Chun to travel around.

    This guy was stimulated by Zhao Han, he didn't want to stay in Qianshan County, and wanted to go outside to make a big career.

    Lou opened the letter and wrote only one sentence: "Mother, the boy is gone, don't read it. The fourth uncle is doing inspections in Ji'an, and the boy will go to him now, and the boy will come back after doing a great job outside."

    "Asshole!"

    "It's reversed, it's all reversed!"

    "I really raised a pair of good children!"

    Lou was so angry that he almost fainted. It's okay for his daughter to be unconscious, but now even his son is disobedient.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 083 [Down and Out Inspection] (addition for Penguin boss)

    Arrived at Wuzishuiyi, and then there is Poyang Lake.

    Several Fei family boatmen refused to go any further, for fear of encountering water bandits in Poyang Lake.

    It was not easy for Zhao Han to force them, so he simply stayed at the inn and bought new year's goods with his own money, and everyone celebrated the new year here.

    ? After staying in the station for a few days, Chen Maosheng's injuries have healed, leaving a large scar on the hairline on his forehead.

    After inquiring with the postmen, it turns out that there is no need to enter Poyang Lake.

    Wuzi Water Station is located at the mouth of the Sancha River, and the one to the west is a tributary of the Ganjiang River. There is no need to go around Poyang Lake.

    There were a lot of merchant ships coming and going, Zhao Han and the four paid the fare and headed straight to Nanchang on the merchant ship.

    A few days later, when you dock, the Tengwang Pavilion is on the shore!

    Well, the wreckage of Tengwang Pavilion.

    Seventeen years ago, the Tengwang Pavilion was destroyed by fire, and now Xie Xuelong is preparing to rebuild it.

    Xie Xuelong has some abilities. He was not from the Donglin Party, but because he offended Wei Zhongxian, he was beaten by the Eunuch Party as the Donglin Party.  Last year when he was the governor of Jiangxi, he encountered eunuchs jumping up and down. Xie Xuelong didn't dare to confront him, so he could only choose to devote himself to the cause of culture and education.

    After staying in Nanchang for a few days, I changed ships and continued south.

    On the way, there were three bank gates privately set up by eunuchs, and another water bandit was encountered in Xiajiang County.

    The water bandits didn't do anything directly, they just surrounded the merchant ship and let it go after getting a few taels of silver. It looked more like they were here to collect taxes.

    Arriving at Ji'an Prefecture, there is a branch of the Ganjiang River called Heshui.

    Zhao Han hired a boat to go up the He River, and after three days, he came to a valley.

    There are mountains on all sides, a river passes through, the valley in the middle is shaped like the bottom of a well, and the peaks on all sides are shaped like the walls of a well. It is called "Jinggang Town", and the imperial court set up the "Jinggang Inspection Department" here.

    There is no connection with Jinggangshan in later generations, and before the Republic of China, there was no name for Jinggangshan.

    ? If you want to talk about the relationship, this place is about 70 kilometers away from Jinggang Mountain, and it takes hundreds of miles to walk on the mountain road.

    "Mr. Zhao, there is a bill pass ahead," the boatman suddenly reminded, "If you pass the bill pass, you have to pay the tax yourself. If you don't want to pay more money, you can get off the boat here."

    "Then let's get off the boat." Zhao Han said.

    Heshui is the main waterway from central Jiangxi to Huguang. It is also expected that eunuchs set up checkpoints here to make money.

    The four people got off the boat and walked, while the passenger boat turned around and returned to Ji'an.

    Zhao Han observed the mountain all the way, and when he came to the mouth of the valley, he suddenly exclaimed: "There are five hundred soldiers here, and if you build a water fortress, you can withstand tens of thousands of troops."

    Pang Chunlai smiled and said: "You have to build a navy, otherwise the officers and soldiers can enter the valley directly by boat."

    "Indeed." Zhao Han nodded.

    The valley is a closed world, sealed off by mountains on all sides.

    Arable land is relatively scarce, and many hillsides have been reclaimed, and some miscellaneous grains are planted to increase food production.

    Zhao Han inquired all the way, and finally found the location of the inspection department, which was actually a ruined temple

    A few archers were lying on the ground basking in the sun. When they saw Zhao Han and the others, they didn't say a word, and they didn't even bother to open their eyes.

    "Excuse me, is Inspection Fei here?" Zhao Han asked.

    Archers are not any kind of arms, but soldiers of the Inspection Department, part-time civilian police, criminal police and armed police.

    Those archers finally opened their eyes, and one of them asked, "What can I do with Fourth Master?"

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "We are Fei Xunjian's family. He hasn't been home for the New Year for two years. The master asked me to visit him."

    "That's my own, I'll take you there right away." An archer patted his buttocks and got up to lead the way.

    Zhao Han asked as he walked, "Why is your inspector's yamen a ruined temple?"

    The archer said dejectedly: "The yamen has been taken over by eunuchs, and we can't get any money. The entire inspection department has run away and we are the only ones left."

    "I see." Zhao Han felt a little interesting.

    He continued to inquire about the details, and it turned out that Fei Yinggongqin Wang had meritorious service and was thrown to Jinggang Town for inspection, and the bandits under his command turned into inspection archers.

    It was quite moist at the beginning, after all, it is guarding a commercial town.

    But just last year, the tax supervisor was suddenly airborne, bringing more than a dozen thugs.  Without saying a word, the eunuch occupied the Yamen of the inspection department and paid money to lure the archers to join him.

    One-third of Fei Yinggong's soldiers joined the eunuchs, and one-third chose to leave.

    After the beginning of spring, they went one after another. At this time, there were only six archers left.

    Such a useless person is purely a eunuch. Killing a eunuch is tantamount to rebellion, because a eunuch represents the emperor's order.

    Everyone soon entered the town??, if you want to get out, get farther away!  Go away, go away!  "

    Zhang Tieniu didn't say a word at first, but now he couldn't bear it anymore, holding an ax and said angrily: "What's the air of a poor inspector? It's like fighting with Tieniu for 300 rounds!"

    Chen Maosheng quickly persuaded: "Brother Tieniu, don't get angry, and speak up if you have something to say."

    Pang Chunlai kept quiet all the time, he didn't bother to care about such trivial matters.

    "Tie Nu, throw people out!" Fei Yinggong roared.

    The strong black man picked up a stick and hit Zhang Tieniu on the head, not afraid of killing him on the spot.

    "Mother thief, you are really desperate." Zhang Tieniu quickly dodged.

    Seeing this, Fei Ruhui yelled: "Stop hitting, stop hitting!"

    There was a mess in the yard, what was going on.

    Zhao Han was also speechless, and said: "Let's go, don't be as knowledgeable as a drunk lunatic, wait until he sobers up."

    Before the four of them left, another person broke in suddenly.

    The visitor, dressed as a farmer, about twenty years old, ran with a hoe and said, "Master Taishan, there is a fight outside the town."

    "Fight, kill them all!" Fei Yinggong roared.

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, I am the fourth uncle's family, what happened?"

    The man was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Spring plowing to fight for water, the Liang family took refuge in the eunuch and occupied the canal outside the town. The other families were outraged and entangled the tenants to grab water. Who would have thought that the eunuch sent thugs, and now  We're about to fight."

    Fei Yinggong asked suddenly: "Is there no water in our fields?"

    "No, once the canal is occupied, we can only jump into the river to irrigate the fields." The man said.

    Fei Yinggong stood up abruptly, raised his sword and rushed out: "Go to his mother, I didn't bother him, this dead eunuch even kicked his nose in the face. I cut him off today, this inspection is over, come in  Go to the mountain as a bandit!"

    (Seeking a subscription, asking for a monthly pass.) &lt;/div&gt

 Text 084 [Looting Banknotes] (addition for Penguin boss)

    ,

    Fei Yinggong was in a state of drunken rage, but maintained a trace of sobriety.

    He rushed out the door with his sword in hand, and yelled, "Yan Jiu, hello brothers, follow me to kill the eunuch!"

    "okay!"

    The bow soldiers who led the way for Zhao Han immediately beamed with joy.

    Being able to resist the eunuch's temptation of money, but also to stay and never leave, is definitely Fei Yinggong's diehard.

    These guys are not afraid of the government, they have long wanted to kill the eunuch with a knife, and then they will be happy as bandits.

    "Daddy!"

    "Master Taishan!"

    The daughter and son-in-law panicked and tried to stop them but couldn't, so they could only stand at the door and worry.

    This son-in-law is Yang Fengsu, a boy from this town, and his family is poor and has no money to be a scholar.  His family actually lived outside the town and was recruited by Fei Yinggong to be his son-in-law. Fei Yinggong also paid for this small courtyard.

    In addition, Fei Yinggong also bought more than ten acres of land, and bought it from a big family by force.

    "Shall we go and have a look?" Zhang Tieniu asked.

    "Go," Zhao Han turned around and said, "Sir, you and Maosheng are waiting here, close the courtyard door and don't let anyone in."

    Pang Chunlai patted the iron sword on his waist: "Let's go together, I've killed a Tartar before."

    Chen Maosheng was a little scared, but he was also courageous. He found a piece of firewood from the yard, held it in his hand as a stick, and followed Zhao Han out step by step.

    "Oh, that's all, that's all!"

    Yang Fengsu picked up the hoe and went out to chase after him.

    Fei Ruhui shouted: "Husband, don't go desperate!"

    Yang Fengsu stopped and said: "Master Taishan is going to kill the eunuch, no matter whether we can kill it or not, we can still escape the responsibility? Today we will fight with the eunuch!"

    Fei Ruhui stamped her feet angrily, turned around suddenly and entered the room, took out a sword from under the bed, and quickly chased after her father.

    "My lady, you you you you" Yang Fengsu was inexplicably horrified.

    Fei Ruhui had already rushed in front of her husband, urging her: "Fight hard, what are you still doing?"

    Yang Fengsu's mind was muddled at the moment, and he subconsciously ran with his wife. Looking at the sword in his wife's hand, he always felt that carrying a hoe was too amateurish.

    Because of the competition for the aqueduct, fights have already started outside the town.

    However, Fei Yinggong didn't care, and ran straight to the ruined temple, raised his sword and shouted: "I'm fed up with the birds, I'm going to kill the eunuch today, do you dare to go together!"

    "Go together, go together!"

    The archers who were lying on the ground basking in the sun became energetic in an instant, and went into the temple one after another to look for weapons.

    Their job is to be an archer, but they don't even have a bow, they are all swords and sticks.

    "Kill Alas!"

    Fei Yinggong started to trot ahead of time, and suddenly stepped on the empty field ridge, and fell into the paddy field with his whole body.

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    "Si Ye is drunk, he is sobering up."

    "Fourth master had a good fall, get up quickly and fall again!"

    "Good job, watch and reward!"

    ""

    The six archers were out of shape, and they didn't help Fei Yinggong when he fell, but laughed and watched the show beside him.

    Even the strong black man stood beside him scratching his head and giggling.

    These guys are desperadoes who cross Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangxi provinces.  Don't buy property, don't marry a wife, kill and steal, commit all kinds of evil, drink today and get drunk, never think about the funeral.

    Fei Yinggong got up in embarrassment, half of his body was stained with mud, turned around and said to the archers: "Don't laugh if you are a dog, look at me killing the eunuch today!"

    Counting the black buddies, there are eight people in total.

    They raised their knives and grabbed their swords, and regardless of the water grabbing battle outside the town, they went straight to the inspector's yamennow it should be called the tax supervisor's yamen.

    Yang Fengsu and Fei Ruhui joined in halfway.

    Fei Ruhui said: "Father, I'll go kill the thief with you."

    "What are you messing around with? Go home!" Fei Yinggong scolded.

    "It's not that I haven't killed people before." Fei Ruhui said.

    Yang Fengsu was horrified when he heard the news. His first wife turned out to be a murderer.

    Fei Ruhui suddenly turned her head, pointed at her husband and said, "Don't dislike me!"

    "I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it." Yang Fengsu repeatedly agreed.

    Zhao Han stopped in front, cupped his fists and asked, "Fourth Uncle, do you want to help?"

    "No," Fei Yinggong said, "Get out of the way, out of the way."

    Zhao Han said: "You guys go to inspect the Si Yamen, and I will take people.p; Some people even knelt and kowtowed: "Fourth Master, spare me!"

    Someone shouted again: "Fourth Master, the eunuch is not in the back hall, he is taking a nap in the bedroom!"

    Many of these bastards are old acquaintances with Fei Yinggong, and they even went to Beijing Qinwang together, and hundreds of them attacked tens of thousands of Bailian believers at night.

    When Fei Yinggong appeared with the sword, his previous prestige became apparent, and his former subordinates turned against him one after another.

    Everyone rushed to the bedroom, and the eunuch had already heard the movement and was fleeing with his confidants carrying money.

    "You eunuch, today I will kill you to vent your anger!" Fei Yinggong raised his sword and shouted.

    The eunuch knelt down in fear: "The hero, spare your life, and all the money is yours!"

    Fei Yinggong swung his sword and cut off the head immediately. He laughed loudly and said, "Boys, let's move the money!"

    There is a whole box of broken silver, all of which were exploited by the eunuchs, and Fei Yinggong is all cheap at this moment.

    Carrying the silver to the pier, Zhao Han has already occupied the bank pass.

    Seeing that Fei Yinggong had also come, everyone boarded the boat one after another, planning to go to the mountains to become bandits.

    Fei Yinggong stepped onto the deck first, and when his daughter, son-in-law, confidants, and Yinzi had all boarded the boat, he suddenly swung his sword and knocked down one person: "Let's sail!"

    The confidantes had received the order a long time ago, and at this moment they started to hack and kill the former traitors who had already boarded the ship.

    "Fourth Master, don't leave us behind!" The boat slowly left the shore, and those defectors stood on the shore crying and shouting like mourners.

    Fei Yinggong kicked the corpse into the river, and cursed: "You people, you have no loyalty at all, you are all bastards who call you mothers if you have milk!"

    Everyone on the shore fled one after another, and some rushed back to the town to rob, anyway, this place can no longer stay.

    As for the canals outside the town, they were still fighting over water.

    In the cabin.

    Pang Chunlai said in a low voice: "These people are too bandit-like, and they are not good candidates for soldiers."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "He is his king of the mountain, and I am my anti-thief leader. We are not in the same group. After the money is divided, we can get together and disperse."

    "It's all you need to know in your heart, I just want to remind you." Pang Chunlai said.

    ,

    Zhang Tieniu wiped off the blood on the axe, looked at Chen Maosheng, and said with a smile, "Why are you still holding firewood?"

    "ah?"

    Chen Maosheng looked dull, looked at Zhang Tieniu, and then at his hands.  He suddenly let go of his hand, and the firewood fell, hitting the board of the ship with a muffled sound.

    Chen Maosheng had no memory of the entire battle.

    This guy yelled and rushed forward, wielding firewood and striking at random, without touching an enemy, he was fighting wits and courage with the air all the way.  He yelled, slapped and punched, and Zhao Han seized the money pass.

    At that time, my mind was blank, and I didn't even know how to get on the boat.

    Chen Maosheng finally regained his sanity at this moment, and hurriedly touched his whole body, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was not injured.

    "Where are we going?" Chen Maosheng asked.

    Zhang Tieniu put away the ax and said, "I don't know."

    Yan Jiu walked over and said: "The front enters Dashan, which is the border of Xuanhua Township, and then out of Dashan is Yongxin County. After Yongxin County, it is the boundary of Huguang."

    ?From the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Lijia system and the Dutu system have been paralleled.

    The Lijia system, calculated by household registration, is mainly used for tax collection.

    The capital map system, calculated by region, is mainly used for military purposes.

    There are capitals in the countryside, and there are maps under them, all of which belong to the concept of region, and no administrative positions will be set.

    The area under the jurisdiction of Xuanhua Township is very large, including a large area from Tianhe Town to Yongyang Town in later generations.

    Outside the cabin.

    Fei Yinggong looked at the mountains and said: "The Fengshui ahead is good, I'll get off the boat there, and let's share the money."

    The box of broken silver that Fei Yinggong snatched from the Yamen of the Inspection Department was the bulk of the trip.

    As for the money robbed from the banknote, it is the tax of these few days.  There are several boxes, although they are large in size, but most of them are copper coins, and all the silver has to be sent to the eunuch.

    "Let's weigh the silver." Zhao Han took out two scales, one large and one small.

    Fei Yinggong smiled and said, "You have already prepared."

    Zhao Han said: "It was gathered at Chaoguan."

    The silver box was quite large, full of scattered silver, with a lot of space in the gaps, and it was not full yet.

    Repeated weighing several times with a large scale, about 6176 taels.

    ? Zhao Han complained: "This eunuch is really poor. The Qianshan tax supervisor only collects taxes from the door. I heard that he can earn more than 10,000 taels."

    "Can this place be compared with Lead Mountain?" Fei Yinggong sat down and said, "Stop talking about gossip, let's start dividing the silver. I will never change my promise. The silver is half for each person, and the copper coins will be divided after the division is over."

    "It's easy to say." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    One person gets a little over 3,000 taels.

    There is a difference between good and bad copper coins, and no one takes advantage of the other. Just reach out and grab a few strings and count them slowly, no matter whether they are good or bad, you have to recognize them.

    Fei Yinggong asked: "Aren't you going into the mountains with me?"

    Zhao Han was a little confused about the geography, so he asked: "Are there mountains in front?"

    Fei Yinggong said: "There are so many mountains, and Yongxin County is where you get out of the mountains."

    "I won't go there, let's get off the boat before entering the mountain." Zhao Han has long admired Yongxin County, and he doesn't know if there was Sanwan Village in Ming Dynasty.

    Fei Yinggong asked curiously: "You came all the way from Lead Mountain, but you didn't go with me when you got the money. What exactly do you want to do?"

    Zhao Han grinned and said, "Will you believe me when I say I want to rebel?"

    "Well……"

    Fei Yinggong was at a loss for words. Looking at it horizontally and vertically, Zhao Han didn't seem to be fake, and he couldn't laugh or cry: "You are really ambitious. I never thought of rebelling."

    Zhao Han pointed to the mountains and said, "You are in the mountains and I am outside, so we can take care of each other. If you want to go down the mountain to plunder, just go to Yongxin County, and don't come to my side to rob."

    "I want to see when your rebellion will be successful." Fei Yinggong said with a smile.

    Zhao Han laughed and said, "You killed the eunuch, isn't that considered a rebellion?"

    Fei Yinggong slapped his head violently: "I forgot about this. I'm a bloody traitor now. Well, we're all traitors, take care of each other, I'm in the mountains, you're outside the mountains."

    "Brothers who operate the boat, please come to the shore!" Zhao Han shouted.

    Fei Yinggong said: "Just to remind you, the front is called Huangjia Village, also called Huangjia Town. Half of the people in the town are surnamed Huang, and their ancestors were Jiedu envoys in the Tang Dynasty."

    Well, another big family that can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty.

    Hundreds of years later, there was a Gongge Hydropower Station here.

    At this time, there were no hydropower stations, dams and reservoirs, and the area of ??cultivated land was much larger than that of later generations.

    &nThank you brother for your guidance," Zhao Han clasped his fists together, "May I ask your name, brother?  "

    The shop clerk smiled and said: "Miangui, my surname is also Huang, and my name is Huang Daliang. When my mother gave birth to me, she endured the whole night and gave birth when the sky was bright."

    Zhao Han complimented: "Since it is the Huang family town, the Huang family must be from a rich family. It turns out that brother Huang is also a child of a rich family. Disrespect, disrespect."

    Huang Daliang sighed: "We are all one ancestor, I don't have that blessing. People in the ancestral house said that our ancestor was the Jiedushi surnamed Huang in the Tang Dynasty, but I have never seen a family tree in Dalian when I grow up. See you."  If I don’t know each other, I will write my own name, and I only recognize the name of the dish on the water sign.”

    Zhao Han continued to ask: "Brother Huang has been separated from the family for a long time?"

    "I don't know," Huang Daliang said, "Anyway, since my grandfather's grandfather's generation, he has been plowing the few acres of Susukida. Later, Susukida was gone, so he could only be a tenant for others. In order to let me work as a clerk at the inn,  He even lent money to the landlord to send a chicken."

    Zhao Han said unhappily: "They are all of the same clan and surname, why do they bully people like this, they should help each other."

    Huang Daliang smiled and said: "In this world, whoever helps whomever, if you don't starve to death, it will be God's eyes."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Are there no other big clans around here?"

    Huang Daliang pointed behind him: "There is a person named Li in the northwest. There was smoke from the ancestral graves of the previous generations, and there was actually a Jinshi. Then the Li family rose up and occupied more and more land"

    "Man, why isn't my dish served yet?"

    Suddenly, some diners patted the table.

    "Hey, here we come!" Huang Daliang responded, and said, "Guest officer, I won't chat with you anymore, and I have to rush to serve the food."

    Zhao Han raised his wine glass, smacked his lips and said, "Master Huang? Just don't have Huang Silang. ?

 Text 086 [Wisher takes the bait]

    Chongzhen six years, spring.

    The thieves entered Beizhili, and the general Yang Yuchun died in ambush, and Zhaozhou, Xishan, Shunde, and Zhending fell.

    ?He fled to the foot of Motianling in Xingtai, recovered a bit, went to Wu'an, and defeated Zuo Liangyu.  The guard Cao Ming, the chief secretary Wu Yingke, etc. all died in battle.

    The peasant army ravaged Hebei, and the capital was shaken.

    At the same time, the government army besieged Dengzhou Shuicheng, and Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming fled.

    Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the first military champion king came to hire him. He was the one who was selected by Chongzhen who dismissed a large number of military officials and ordered a re-examination.  After the martial arts palace examination, Wang Lai hired him as the deputy commander-in-chief of Shandong. He was very grateful to Emperor Chongzhen, and he would take the lead in every battle.

    Suiping, Shandong.

    After repeated wars, the imperial court ran out of money again, and ordered the provinces to send the salt tax money as soon as possible. A total of more than 3.2 million taels was owed.

    In addition, Jinhuayin was also handed over quickly. This order made life difficult for farmers in Jiangnan provinces.  Because the official land that needs to pay gold flowers and silver has long been occupied by nobles, gentry, and tyrants, once the court forces it, it means that the tenant farmers have to pay rent twice.

    The situation in the world is becoming more and more chaotic

    Zhao Han dug out the silk clothes he brought from Qianshan Mountain, and went to Huang's ancestral house with a folding fan in his hand.

    Temporary change of plans.

    Zhao Han disguised himself as the son of a wealthy merchant in Jishui, Pang Chunlai was the accountant he brought, Chen Maosheng was his servant, and Zhang Tieniu played the bodyguard.

    "Mr. Zhao Young Master," Chen Maosheng touched the brim of his hat, "Is the scar on my forehead really invisible?"

    Zhao Han was a little impatient, and said, "I really can't see it, so don't touch it."

    Zhang Tieniu still stayed at the inn, Zhao Han only took Pang Chunlai and Chen Maosheng out.

    The scale of Huangjia Town is very small, and there is only one street.  After leaving the town, I asked all the way, and within a short walk, I was able to see the Huang family's ancestral house in the distance.

    "There's another spring drought this year."

    Zhao Han glanced at the surrounding farmland. He said this to Pang Chunlai. The old master's eyesight can only see near objects.

    Pang Chunlai could only sigh: "The country is about to perish, and natural disasters occur frequently."

    It's really nonsense. For several consecutive years, Jiangxi has experienced spring droughts, summer floods, and winter snows in turn.  The only thing that can be thankful is that no major disaster has been caused, and the drought and flood disaster will stop for a while.

    Zhao Han looked at the ditch beside the road, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

    The canal is guarded along the way, and it is brought in by water trucks by the river, and flows into some fixed paddy fields——should be Mr. Huang’s fields.

    As for the fields of other families, no matter how close they are to the canal, they have to take a long way to the river to fetch water.

    Zhao Han saw many farmers going to the river in groups, picking up water one by one, and they couldn't irrigate a few acres from morning till night.

    "Hey, this ancestral hall is really beautiful."

    When Zhao Han passed by Huang's ancestral hall, he gave a strange admiration.

    The main reason is that the nearby farmers are too poor, and the nearby houses are too dilapidated, which makes the Huang's Ancestral Hall stand out from the crowd.

    There are bucket arches and cornices, carved beams and painted buildings, and there are stone lions and stone turtles at the door.  Although compared with the Fei Family Ancestral Hall, it is like a local rich man meeting a rich businessman, but it is so obtrusive standing here.

    After about dozens of steps past the ancestral hall, the residence of the Huang family is located.

    Zhao Han had inquired a long time ago. The Huang family had only been a Jinshi in the Zhengde Dynasty, and there was not even a Juren after that.  Moreover, the Huang family itself is not in business, and only sells some agricultural products and handicrafts to foreign merchants passing through the town.

    With no extra income and only relying on exploiting the village, how could he maintain such a wealthy ancestral house!

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The door opened, and seeing that they were unfamiliar faces, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you looking for?"

    Zhao Han just shook the folding fan, looking like a handsome man.

    Pang Chunlai stroked his beard, not looking directly at people.

    Only Chen Maosheng took a step forward, handed out the name card with one hand, and said arrogantly: "My son is Zhao Yan, a talented scholar in Jishui. The word said, I want to see Mr. Huang. Hurry up and report, you can't afford it if you are late."

    These three people were full of style, and it seemed that they were from a big place, and the disciple couldn't help but feel ashamed, so he quickly took the name card and ran to announce it.

    Zhao Han secretly gave a thumbs up and praised Chen Maosheng for his superb acting skills.

    Not long after, Menzi ran out again, nodded and bowed his head and said, "Three honored guests, my master is here to invite you."

    "Take a look!" Zhao Han stepped in.

    Chen Maosheng took out a bunch of copper coins from the bag, and threw it to the door.nbsp; "This, thishow could this be?" Huang Zundao was shocked.  He only cares about his own one-acre three-point land, and he doesn't know anything about the outside world, and he won't inquire about the past merchants.

    Zhao Han said again: "Business in the south can't be done. My Zhao family plans to go to Heshui to transport goods from central Jiangxi to Huguang. I was sent by my family to explore the road. I think Huangjia Town is in a good location. I want to come here.  Build a transit warehouse."

    "This is it."

    Once his own interests were involved, Huang Zundao became reserved, put on airs and began to make decisions, and even changed his address: "I will tell you my brother, although the rocky wasteland on the river beach is not worth much, it is shared by all the Huang family's clans."  Industry. It may not be easy to convince various sects, and this old man has to think carefully."

    Zhao Han also changed his address, and said with a smile: "Since Yuanwai Huang can't be the master, I'll build a warehouse in another place. Farewell!"

    "My dear brother, don't worry," Huang Zundao hurriedly dissuaded, "Everything is easy to discuss."

    Zhao Han said confidently: "Although Huangjia Town is located on a commercial thoroughfare, there are many towns along the Heshui River! I built a warehouse in Huangjia Town, which is a great thing for Huang Yuanwai. The warehouse one  The more merchants stop here, the better the town's business will be. Wouldn't Huang Yuanwai's local products be more profitable? Maybe, after ten or twenty years, Huangjia Town will become a big town  !"

    Huang Zundao really believed that this big cake was well drawn.

    Zhao Han said again: "I want to build a warehouse, recruit workers, and buy stone, wood, and mortar. Huang Yuanwai doesn't have the final say on which workers to hire? Don't you buy stone, wood, and mortar from Huang Yuanwai?"

    yes!

    Huang Zundao was secretly delighted that he could take the opportunity to make a fortune.

    Holding the folding fan in his hand, Zhao Han said with a smile, "The wasteland on the river beach can't grow food. If Mr. Huang can give me a free gift, then we can continue to discuss business. If not, then I'll go to the next town. I only give you three days  Time to consider, once three days pass, I will leave immediately!"

    Huang Zundao said: "Don't think about it. As long as it is a wasteland that cannot be farmed, you can take as much as you want, brother. But, I will be responsible for the workers and materials for building the warehouse. How?"

    "Haha, deal!" Zhao Han laughed.

    Isn't this the hook?

    Another two days passed.

    The house slave bowed and trotted, came to Huang Zundao, and whispered: "Master, the news has come."

    Huang Zundao was lying on a bamboo rocking chair, a maid behind him rocked the chair lightly, and a maid beside him beat his legs.  This guy didn't even open his eyes, he just said in a deep voice, "Let's talk."

    The house slave bent down and got closer: "There were four people in that group, and they came by boat a few days ago. They stayed in the inn as soon as they got off the boat, and brought a few boxes. Those boxes were heavy, and they were carried back and forth several times."

    "What are they doing these two days?" Huang Zundao asked.

    The house slave replied: "Walking around, talking to people, probably choosing a place for the warehouse."

    "Then there's no problem." Huang Zundao sat up suddenly.

    The house slave asked: "Master, these people are not liars, are they?"

    "What can I lie to?" Huang Zundao said confidently, "The barren beach by the river is useless. Even if you give it to them, you can still scrape away the land on the river beach? From the beginning to the end, I don't pay half of the money. As long as you start building goods  Let him bring the money. Halfway through the construction, he can still raise the price on the ground. How many outsiders dare to turn against me? If his business is successful, Huangjia Town will become a big town in the future. His business will not be successful  , and the warehouse can’t be taken away, didn’t I pick up a warehouse for nothing?”

    The house slave was convinced and flattered: "Master is really clever, we earn money from left to right!"

    Huang Zundao sneered and said: "A boy with a yellow mouth dares to show off in front of the old man because of his family power. The old man eats more salt than he eats rice. Don't worry, let him choose the river beach slowly, and you send someone there  Help with the election. As long as you take out the money to level the beach, they will be trapped, and I will have to decide what will happen in the future."

    "Master is really a good means." The house slave admired sincerely.

    Huang Zundao warned: "Before they give out the money, you have someone take good care of you. Whether it's coaxing or lying, don't let them leave Huangjia Town."

    "I'll do it now." The house slave bowed and stepped back.

    "Wait a minute. That scholar in Jishui looks handsome and is well-dressed. He seems to be a coquette." Huang Zundao patted the little hand of the leg-beating maid and said, "Xiao Cui, go to the inn for a few days and coax the scholar  I'm happy, the sooner he pays the money, the better."

    The leg-thumping maid knelt down in panic: "My lord, spare me, my lord, spare my life!"

    Huang Zundao said angrily: "What are you afraid of? Get up quickly. This is an errand for you, and you will be rewarded if you do it well. First, you have to make that scholar happy and don't let him leave Huangjia Town; second, look for opportunities  Coax him to pay for it, saying that workers are hard to find, and the sooner the beach is leveled, the better; third, pay more attention to them, listen to them more, and tell the innkeeper quietly if you get any news.”

    Maid Xiao Cui still looked pale, she was going to warm the bed for outsiders.

    It's all nonsense to make meritorious deeds.

    Master Huang doesn't like people who are not clean, and when she comes back from work, don't even think about being a maid in the inner courtyard.

    "What are you still doing in a daze? Go!" Huang Zundao roared angrily.

    Xiao Cui was so frightened that she trembled all over, hurriedly took orders to leave, and was escorted by her slaves to the inn.

    After waiting until noon, Zhao Han finally came back from inspecting the river beach.

    The house slave immediately stepped forward: "Mr. Zhao is delicate, and there is no one to serve him when he is away from home. My master specially sent a person who serves tea and water."

    Zhao Han lifted the maid's chin with a folding fan, and said in a frivolous tone, "That's right, Xiaojiabiyu, I feel sorry for you. You can't find better ones in such remote villages and towns. My son reluctantly accepted this maid.  "

    "It's good that Mr. Zhao likes it," the servant said, nodding and bowing. "It is a blessing that Mr. Zhao has cultivated for a rural maidservant for several lifetimes."

    As she spoke, her expression changed, and she scolded: "Xiao Cui, don't kneel down to thank you!"

    Xiao Cui wanted to cry, but she knelt down and kowtowed, "Thank you for your great kindness."

    Zhao Han turned his nostrils to the sky, and said disdainfully: "Get up. If you are on the side of Jishui, I really don't like you."

    Xiaocui stood up slowly, lowered her head and did not speak, she did not dare to let others see her tears.

    Zhao Han said again: "How much is this maid worth? Quickly ask your master to send her her deed."

    The house slave was stunned for a moment, and explained: "Mr. Zhao, this is my master, specially sent to bring tea and water to Mr. Zhao"

    "You won't sell it? You won't give it away? You're so stingy, you really are a local rich man!" Zhao, showing a scar on his wrist, which seemed to have been pulled out by a bamboo stick.

    "Master Huang is still beating you?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xiaocui replied: "If a servant does something wrong, he should be beaten. Don't blame the master."

    Zhao Han looked serious, and said solemnly: "Your servant is also a human being, how can you beat him casually? Master Huang is too hateful!"

    Xiao Cui quickly said: "It's the servant who is not good. She broke the master's cup and deserved to be beaten up."

    "You can't think like this," Zhao Han began to popularize the theory of personality. "In the Song Dynasty, there was a great scholar named Zhu Xi. Scholars called him Zhu Zi. Tongsheng, Xiucai, Juren, Jinshi, but all scholars read Zhu Zi's annotations.  Do you know what Zhu Zi said? He said that all people are born equal. Those who are emperors, generals, masters, and servants are all born the same, and no one is inferior to another.”

    Xiao Cui asked blankly, "Master Zhu Zi really said that?"

    "That's what Zhu Zi said," Zhao Han said sadly, "But those who have read the book, all falsify Zhu Zi's words. As a master, he clearly knows it's wrong, and he still bullies his servants. Don't you think it's very bad?"

    Xiaocui subconsciously nodded, then shook her head again: "It's always wrong for the master to lay down people."

    Zhao Han couldn't help but touch his forehead, what a broken place, where the slaves are so severely brainwashed, it's much more normal on the lead mountain side.

    Zhao Han could only say: "I will explain this truth to you slowly. Let's go to the next room and I will teach you how to read and write."

    Xiao Cui was pleasantly surprised, but said: "This servant is very stupid, I'm afraid I won't be able to learn it."

    "Don't be afraid, there is someone more stupid than you next door," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Also, don't call yourself a slave from now on, just say 'I'."

    Pushing open the door of the next room, Zhao Han shouted, "Tie Niu, it's time to study."

    Zhang Tieniu was sleeping on the cash box, when he heard this in a daze, he jumped up in fright: "II need to pee urgently, I need to take a shit!"

    "Go back and sit down!" Zhao Han scolded.

    Zhang Tieniu looked aggrieved, and glanced at Xiaocui: "Is this girl also in the gang?"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Sooner or later."

    Zhang Tieniu couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, and thought: A master, an actor, and a coolie.  It's good now, even the maidservant has come to rebel, and if she speaks out, she is afraid that people will die of laughter.

    The rebel team is about to grow to five people.

    Huang's ancestral home.

    "My lord, my lord!"

    The house slave rushed in and said beamingly: "Mr. Zhao has brought the money!"

    "Really?" Huang Zundao stood up instantly, and ordered his servants to say, "Hurry up and serve some tea, and invite Mr. Zhao into the hall."

    Huang Zundao changed into new clothes, and felt much more decent, and he would no longer be looked down upon by the city people.

    He stepped into the hall, saw Zhao Han drinking tea, and immediately cupped his hands with a smile: "The good tea specially prepared by Wansheng, senior, can you still drink it smoothly?"

    "Barely able to eat," Zhao Han put down the tea bowl and praised, "Little friend has a heart."

    Scholars and above can be called friends.

    ?Below a scholar, even if he is half-dead, he only deserves to be called a little friend.

    Among scholars, if we talk about seniors and juniors, we must count according to the time when we passed the examinations for scholars, candidates, and Jinshi.

    Huang Zundao asked: "Did seniors choose the beach well?"

    "I've chosen," Zhao Han pretended to throw off the folding fan, "Maosheng, give me the silver."

    Chen Maosheng took a cloth bag, slammed it on the table, untied the bag and said, "It's five hundred taels of silver, you can weigh it yourself."

    Huang Zundao's eyes were straightened, and he hurriedly said, "Get the scale quickly!"

    ?For rural land rich owners, if they do not do business and rely entirely on profiting from the land, five hundred taels is definitely a huge sum of money.

    An elderly domestic servant was called to verify the fineness of the silver, and then weighed it on the scales.

    Soon, the house slave nodded slightly, indicating that the money was fine.

    Huang Zundao hurriedly flattered him: "Senior is worthy of being born in a rich family, and he is really bold in doing things!"

    "What is five hundred taels of silver?" Zhao Han waved his folding fan, "Have you ever been to Suzhou, my friend?"

    Huang Zundao said: "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. The younger generation has long admired the name of Suzhou."

    "Suzhou not only has skilled craftsmen, but also the best cook in the world," Zhao Han said nonsense. "If you want to eat shark's fin, let people go to the sea to catch it. If you want to eat monkey brains, let people go to the mountain to catch it. I am studying in Suzhou.  Back then, five hundred taels of silver was just for a meal."

    These words were all said by Fei Ruyi.

    Except that five hundred taels of silver for a meal is too nonsense, everything else is true.  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, people in Suzhou liked to hunt novelties, eat shark fins, and eat monkey brains, all of which were used by merchants to fight for wealth.

    Huang Zundao took a sharp breath: "Five hundred taels for a meal?"

    "It's really a countryman, so ignorant," Zhao Han sneered, "What is five hundred taels of silver? There are thousands of taels for a meal. Nanjing and Beijing, Lantern Festival, a lantern is worth tens of thousands!"

    Ao Deng, Huang Zundao has heard of it and knows that it costs money, but unfortunately he has never had the chance to see it with his own eyes.

    The more Zhao Han brags, the more inferior Huang Zundao becomes.

    He originally planned to raise the price after the beach was leveled and the warehouse was half built.  But at this moment, he hastily dismissed this idea, for fear of offending the family behind Zhao Han.

    Huang Zundao complimented with an apologetic smile: "Seniors are well-informed, and I really admire the late students."

    Zhao Han suddenly licked his lips with his tongue, with a frivolous smile on his face: "The Xiaocui you sent is just a country maid, but she is quite beautiful. To be honest, there are many maids in my son's house, but I haven't used them yet.  This kind of mountain girl, really has a special flavor, can you send her body deed, I plan to take it home and enjoy it slowly."

    "That's easy to say," Huang Zundao became very straightforward, "Since the senior likes it, I will give another one. If a few rough maidservants can be loved by the senior, their ancestral graves will be smoked!"

    After taking out five hundred taels of silver, how many maids do you still care about?

    The cost of the servants in Huang Zundao's family, whether they are male servants or female servants, can be ignored.

    Every year there are always tenants in arrears of rent, no matter how much you force them, it is useless, and you can kill all the tenants?

    Whenever there is a shortage of people in the family, let the tenants who owe the rent send boys and girls to pay the rent.

    Xiaocui and her younger brother paid a total of five shi for the rent, and also paid for the usury of eight qian.

    It only adds up to a few taels of silver.

    Under Huang Zundao's urging, not only quickly brought Xiaocui's body deed, but also bought one and got one free, and sent a maid, Xiaohong.

    Master Huang was still a little bit reluctant, Xiaocui and Xiaohong were both handsome, and they were trained to be very obedient.

    &nbs?If you dare to be disobedient, you will be beaten to death!

    "Okay, stop talking!"

    Zhao Han picked up Xiaohong and Xiaocui's body deed, and took Xiaohong's hand back and forth to caress, not bothering to look at Master Huang again: "I will leave the construction site to you, and I want to go back and enjoy the beauty of the mountains. Hehe,  One is good enough, if you put the two together, wouldn't you be ecstatic?"

    "I'll see off seniors." Huang Zunde said with a half-short body.

    "No, you can go back." Zhao Han went out with his arms around Xiaohong's waist.

    Huang Zunde still sent them out of the hall, watched Zhao Han leave, and couldn't help shouting: "Senior, go slowly, if two are not enough, Wansheng still has some here, just come and take them."

    The house slave stood there stupidly, still thinking about it, his mind was full of what Zhao Han said just now.

    "Ahem!"

    Huang Zunde coughed twice, and scolded: "What are you still doing?"

    The servant came back to his senses, and hurriedly asked: "Master, what Mr. Zhao said is true?"

    "Can there be fakes?" Huang Zunde looked contemptuous, "Yangzhou, Suzhou, are all rich counties. A top lean horse is worth as much as our entire town. If Mr. Zhao doesn't tell you, you won't know it for the rest of your life.  Can't even dream of it."

    "Master taught me a good lesson." The house slave quickly apologized.

    Huang Zunde ignored the house slaves, picked up the white silver, and touched it there again and again.

    Before, he was thinking about how to get money from Zhao Han.

    But people are generous, five hundred taels are given as they please, and this is only the initial construction cost, and there will be thousands of taels in the future.

    Is it worth cheating money?

    Just follow Zhao Xianggong to drink soup, if Zhao Xianggong casually leaks a few, it will be enough for Mr. Huang to earn a lot of money.

    Suddenly, Huang Zunde said to his slave: "Go to the inn quickly and tell Mr. Zhao that I will give him all the deserted beaches by the river and ask him if he wants to level them all out. The money is good, and I will give you another five hundred taels."  That's it."

    "Okay, my little one will do it right away." The house slave left happily. He likes to deal with Mr. Zhao, because there is always a reward to get.

    Huang Zunde held the silver in his arms, but what he thought about was the Yangzhou skinny horse.

    What kind of woman is that beautiful, only worth fifty thousand taels of silver.  If I could let him touch it, this life would be worth it, but it's a pity that he can't even see it.

    Huang Zunde took it all seriously when Zhao Han bragged about being awesome.

    The key point is that Zhao Han threw out five hundred taels of silver without saying anything.

    ? Such a rich man will deceive a country rich man.

    ,

    "Mr. Zhao!"

    "Mr. Zhao, walk slowly!"

    The servant quickly caught up and said out of breath: "Mr. Zhao, my master said huh said that he would give you all the rocky riverbanks. Only five hundred taels of silver will be added, and the riverbanks will be leveled for you!"

    Zhao Han turned around slowly, staring at the slave with a strange expression: "Your Master Huang, do you think I'm a fool?"

    "Ah?" The house slave didn't know how to answer.

    Zhao Han pointed towards the river: "Those deserted beaches are two or three miles long, and they are intermittent in the middle, with several pieces of cultivated land sandwiched between them. What are they all flattened out for?"

    Indeed, all flattened out to make hair.

    We can't let Zhao Xianggong's warehouse, one in the east and one in the west, stretch as long as two or three miles. When building and using it, we have to bypass the cultivated land.

    The house slave was speechless, feeling that his master was confused.

    The house slave asked cautiously: "Then the little one will go back and report to the master, saying that Mr. Zhao doesn't want so many?"

    Zhao Han suddenly had a pleasant face and said, "I've known you for a few days, but I still don't know your name."

    Zhao Xianggong asked my name?

    Does Mr. Zhao value me?

    The house slave suppressed the joy in his heart, bowed and said: "Returning to Mr. Zhao, the younger one's surname is Huang, and his humble name is Sanshui."

    "Huang Sanshui, right?" Zhao Han patted the man on the shoulder.

    Having been slapped so casually, Huang Sanshui felt a little lighter all over his body, and his heart was filled with the honor of being favored by a big shot.  He bent his waist even lower, and said excitedly: "If Mr. Zhao has something to do, just give orders."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Go back and tell your master that although my young master is prodigal, he is not a fool. I know very clearly what he is up to. He just wants to get more money. Tell him, five hundred taels, I can do it."  Plus, but you have to promise me a few requests."

    "Mr. Zhao, please tell me." Huang Sanshui said hastily.

    Zhao Han flicked the folding fan, unfolded it with a sound of brushing, and fanned the wind and said, "First, sell me the few pieces of cultivated land in the middle; second, the rocky river beach is too narrow, please widen it.  It must occupy the cultivated land, and the money to buy the land will be calculated separately. I guarantee that your master will not suffer any disadvantages. If this matter is done, it will be to your advantage!"

    Is there any benefit to take?

    Huang Sanshui was immediately full of energy, and swore: "Mr. Zhao, don't worry, I promise you will succeed!"

    This guy excitedly ran back to return to his command, but the maid Xiaohong looked worried.

    Zhao Han asked as he walked, "What's wrong with you?"

    Xiaohong knelt down suddenly, and said in a crying voice: "Please don't take up so much land, let's leave a way for you to survive."

    "Where is your family's land?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xiaohong is obviously smarter than Xiaocui, and she speaks more eloquently: "My lord, the land between the rocky beach belongs to Mr. Huang. In summer, it is easy to be flooded, so we can't do paddy fields, so we can only grow some vegetables."  Miscellaneous grains. There are two pieces of land there, which are the parents, elder sisters, and sisters-in-law of the servants are farming, and I beg the husband to give me a way to survive!"

    "Master Huang gave me your body deed, then you are my slave now," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Get up, I will not treat my own people badly."

    "Thank you Mr. Zhao, thank you Mr. Zhao!" Xiao Hong quickly kowtowed, for fear that Zhao Han would regret it.

    Go back to the inn and lead Xiaohong into the house.

    Xiao Cui is practicing calligraphy, dipping a brush in clear water, and writing numbers one, two, three, etc. on the wooden board.

    Hearing the noise, Xiao Cui turned her head happily: "Young Master is back Hey, Xiao Hong!"

    "Xiao Cui." Xiao Hong smiled reluctantly.

    Xiaocui went over and took Xiaohong's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, the young master is very good to our servants, and the young master has taught me how to read these two days. Come and see, I can already write ten."

    Xiaohong followed in a daze, watching Xiaocui write with a pen.

    Xiao Cui always had a smile on her face, and said while writing: "The things you said outside, the young master is all pretending, he is the best host in the world."

    Xiaohong didn't believe it at all, and Zhao Han frightened her.

    Zhao Han took out the deeds of the two of them, handed them over and said, "Tear up your deeds yourself."

    Xiao Cui, who was very happy at first, suddenly had a frightened expression, knelt down and said, "Please don't be disgusted, my lord, servant girl I will definitely work hard in the future."

    Xiao Hong also quickly knelt down, thinking that Zhao Han was trying to test her.

    "well!"

    Zhao Han sighed, picked up the body deed again, and immediately tore it to pieces.

    Xiaohong was ecstatic, she almost couldn't laugh out loud.

    However, Xiao Cui lost her mind and sat slumped on the ground.  She thought she was abandoned by Zhao Han, Slave I'm going to die.  "

    Zhao Han straightened his body on his knees and said, "Then would you like to be my sister?"

    Xiaocui cried and nodded: "Yes, as long as you don't kowtow, I am willing to do anything."

    Zhao Han smiled, and asked Xiaohong again: "What about you?"

    "Wishyes." Xiaohong vaguely agreed.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Han laughed heartily, stood up and patted the dust on his knees: "Both sisters, get up quickly, let's talk about business."

    Let the two women sit on the edge of the bed, and Zhao Han also dragged a bench to sit down.

    Although Xiaohong and Xiaocui didn't know why Zhao Han was like that, they knew that he was a first-class good person in the world.

    A good master is one who doesn't beat his slaves randomly.

    Isn't the one who kneels down and kowtows to the servants a first-class good person?

    Following such a good master, even death is worth it.  Even if Zhao Han tore up the deed, they were unwilling to leave. Where else could such a master be found?

    "Sister Xiaohong, how many people are there in your family?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xiaohong replied: "A few years ago, the harvest was poor. Grandpa hanged himself. The second brother went to the county town and has not come back. There are parents, elder brother and sister-in-law at home."

    Zhao Han continued to ask: "I usually live well."

    Xiaohong said in a clear way: "I work at Mr. Huang's house. I live frugally and bring money back home. My parents and elder brother and sister-in-law also rent a few acres of land. I can barely survive starvation, but sometimes I owe rent."

    Zhao Han asked again: "If I buy the dry land by the river, will your family be able to survive?"

    "I'm afraid I'm afraid people will starve to death," Xiaohong couldn't help asking, "Your goodness, you wouldn't do that, would you?"

    Zhao Han smiled and didn't answer. He just asked, "Does Master Huang have three sons? How much do you know about his youngest son studying in the county school?"

    Xiaocui said: "The third young master only comes back during the Chinese New Year. He despises the Huang family town and took his wife and children to the city."

    Xiaohong added: "Everyone says that the third young master is a Wenqu star descended to earth, not only admitted to the scholar, but also a county student. But I know that the third young master is no longer a granary student. He is still drinking flower wine in the county.  The money to pay the bill was tied up, and the third young lady sent a slave back to get the money to redeem him."

    "Is there such a thing?" Xiaocui asked in surprise.

    Xiaohong proudly said: "I eavesdropped, and the master was very angry at that time. You forgot, you were beaten for no reason last year, which is the fault of the master."

    "It was that time, I haven't figured out what I did wrong." Xiaocui had an instant impression.

    Seeing that they were getting farther and farther away, Zhao Han quickly retracted the topic: "Which family has the most fields besides Mr. Huang?"

    "I know, I know," Xiaohong quickly answered, "Second Master Huang in the northeast of the town, his grandpa, is brothers with Grandpa Huang's grandpa. I heard from the old people in the village that there was a lot of trouble at that time.  The two brothers took hundreds of people to divide the family property, and killed a dozen of them on the spot."

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Then let's talk about Second Master Huang ?

    ,

    Another few days passed, and Huang Zundao agreed to all Zhao Han's requests.

    Zhao Han was also very happy, and paid another five hundred taels of silver.  In an instant, only one-third of the 1,500 taels snatched from Chaoguan was left, and there was still a box and a half of copper coins left.

    The three of them went out to deliver money, and Zhang Tieniu continued to take care of the money.

    Xiaohong pulled Xiaocui aside, and whispered softly: "I'm afraid you are going to do something big."

    Xiaocui smiled and said, "What you do, sir, is a big deal."

    "Don't make any noise," Xiaohong said close to her ear, "Young Master wants to harm Master Huang, and after spending so much money, he definitely wants to kill Master Huang!"

    "How……"

    Xiaocui quickly covered her mouth: "How is it possible, isn't the young master going to do business with Mr. Huang?"

    "I'm afraid the young master is not a rich man," Xiaohong asked, "Which rich man have you ever seen who is willing to kneel and kowtow to a servant?"

    Xiaocui shook her head and said, "No. Don't talk about the sons of rich families, even the tenants in the village will not kowtow to our servants for the sake of the master."

    "That's the reason," Xiaohong said, "I guess, the young master may be a robber."

    Xiao Cui smiled and said, "How can there be such a handsome robber."

    Xiaohong felt that communicating with Xiaocui was very tiring, so she said to herself: "If the son is a robber, then I will be a robber's wife."

    "Don't talk nonsense, my son is not a robber. If you are a robber, you will be killed if you are caught by the official." Xiaocui was a little scared.

    Xiaohong complained: "You are so stupid, my son, I have been inquiring about the news of the village for the past two days. Which one has land, which one has a store, which one has a festival with which one, and what is not.  .Isn’t this a robber stepping on a plate?”

    "What is stepping on a plate?" Xiao Cui asked.

    "Just inquire first, so we can make a move when the time comes," Xiaohong warned, "You are not allowed to speak out, so don't ruin the good things of the young master."

    Xiao Cui shook her head quickly: "No, no."

    Xiaohong suddenly began to fantasize: "You said that the young master robbed the property and returned to the cottage, will you make us the wife of the village? I am half a year older than you. At that time, I will be the eldest lady and you will be the second lady.  "

    "That's great, I'm afraid the young master will look down on us." Xiaocui also laughed.

    Xiaohong asked: "Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the government?"

    "I'm afraid, but the young master is very smart, and he will definitely not be caught by the officials," Xiaocui said with her hands on her cheeks, tilting her head, "In this life, I have always knelt down to others, and this is the first time someone told me  Kneeling. I was terrified at the time, but I was very happy when I turned around, and I could wake up with a smile from my dream.”

    Xiaohong seemed to understand very well, and said, "Young master is buying people's hearts."

    Xiaocui asked: "We are the son's people, why is he buying people's hearts?"

    Xiaohong said familiarly: "You idiot, the young master not only wants our bodies, but also our hearts."

    "You are talking nonsense, my son will not lie to us." Xiaocui said angrily.

    "What's wrong with being cheated?" Xiaohong said with a smile, "There is a man who is willing to kneel to me and kowtow to me so many times, even if he is cheated, I am willing. No matter if he is a bandit or a robber, I will just follow him from now on."  yes."

    Xiaocui murmured: "Yes, just follow him."

    The requirements for being a servant girl are very low, beating and scolding them frequently, and feeding them enough will make them loyal.

    However, Zhao Han said that everyone is equal, there is no distinction between good and bad, and he kneels and kowtows for them.

    How can I stand up to this?

    That night, the two girls stayed up all night, each hugging their pillows and crying secretly.

    Some people treat them as human beings, they really treat them as human beings, not pretending to deceive them!

    To put it a bit more extreme, if Zhao Han is in danger one day, Xiao Hong and Xiao Cui will definitely rush to block the knife.

    In the eyes of the ancients, this is buying people's hearts.

    Wu Qi, a famous general in the Warring States Period, had a soldier under his command with a malignant sore, and Wu Qi sucked the carbuncle himself.  When the soldier's mother heard the news, she immediately prepared for her son's funeral, crying and saying, "My husband has already died for the general, and my son may not be far from death."

    You are good to me, I die for you!

    Will Zhao Han want to be a robber?

    Some people already regarded him as a robber, and there were quite a few of them.

    On the sixteenth day when Zhao Han came to Huangjia Town, hundreds of tenants suddenly surrounded the inn.

    The reason for everything was that Huang Zunde was confused by the money, and he threw out a thousand taels of silver in a row, and there were countless silver waiting to be put into his pocket later.  He immediately agreed to Zhao Han's request, and extended and widened the land acquisition area.??The wages are 30 yuan a day, and they can wait until the spring plowing is over before starting work.  But I don't know why he ohI'm sorry for you.  I'm a foreigner, so it's not easy to confront Mr. Huang.  dont you agree?  "

    "Is it true that the wages are thirty yuan a day?" The old farmer grasped the point.

    Zhao Han said: "I originally wanted to order fifty cash, but Mr. Huang said that it wouldn't take much, so he had to lower it down to thirty cash. You take your time to recover from your wounds, and I have to visit the next family."

    The old farmer quickly said: "I will send the master away."

    "No, no, old man rests first." Zhao Han bowed his hands and quit.

    When they left, Xiaohong's parents, brother-in-law and sister-in-law immediately counted the money with a lamp, and there were two hundred copper coins!

    The sister-in-law said: "Master Zhao is a good man, and he came to apologize in person in the middle of the night."

    The eldest brother said angrily: "I heard clearly just now, Mr. Zhao paid his wages, and his Mr. Huang only takes two meals a day. They are all thin, and you can't eat enough!"

    "There is no way," the old farmer sighed, "in this Huangjia Town, Master Huang is the Emperor of the Earth."

    Overnight, Zhao Han visited seventeen families of the wounded.

    the next day.

    On the river beach construction site, rumors about wages are everywhere.

    Some tenants dared to ask the foreman: "Master Liu, how do you calculate the wages?"

    The foreman sneered: "What wages? I'll give you two meals a day, don't you know what's good?"

    The tenant left angrily, and when he was eating in the middle of the morning, he said to others: "Master Huang swallowed all the wages and didn't give us a penny."

    "It's fine if you don't pay. My field has not been plowed yet, so what will I do this year if the spring plowing is delayed!" Another tenant began to cry while talking.

    The gunpowder keg has been buried, and it is only a matter of someone to light it.

    ,

    "Dang Dang Dang Dang!!!"

    "Hey! Hey! Hey!"

    Under Niu Ridge, hammering and trumpets sounded one after another.

    A total of more than ten people are chiseling and grinding stones, and carrying them to the river for stacking.  When the rocky beach on the other side is leveled out, the collected stones will be shipped over.

    These masons are all semi-amateur.

    In a small town, how can there be so many professional jobs to do?

    They usually make a living by farming, and working as stonemasons is purely a part-time job to earn extra money.

    Even amateur stonemasons are relatively powerful and not as easy to bully as ordinary tenants.

    Therefore, Mr. Huang is very kind, as long as they go to the mountains to quarry, each will be paid ten Wen a day, and they will be provided with a dry meal and a meal of porridge.

    "Dinner is served, dinner is served!" shouted the foreman.

    The meal time is around ten o'clock in the morning every day and around four o'clock in the afternoon every day.  Eating only two meals a day is a common practice in remote villages, but it is no different than eating three meals on Lead Mountain.

    More than a dozen masons sat together, and when they picked up their rice bowls, they exploded immediately.

    A stonemason named Huang Shun shouted: "Didn't you say that you can see meat once every five days? Why are they all pickles!"

    The foreman sneered: "It's good to have dry rice, but you want to eat meat?"

    Huang Zunde was also a little scared when he made a fuss at the inn last time.  It's not that the tenants are afraid of rebellion, but that the tenants will make trouble again, not to mention delaying Zhao Xianggong's construction period, and even losing face with Zhao Xianggong.

    As a result, the tenants who leveled the rocky beach only had one worker from each family, and the rest of the family could go to busy spring plowing.

    And the workers who go into the mountains to quarry and log, not only have the treatment of ordinary tenants, but also can eat meat every five days.

    On the first day when the order was issued, everyone really saw the meat, although the portion was very scarce.

    At this time, it happened to be the sixth day, and they were supposed to eat meat, but they didn't even have any oily smell, so they were asked to eat pickles!

    Master Huang said that if you eat meat, you will eat meat?

    The domestic slaves in charge of logistics and food, the foremen in charge of supervision, didn't they take the opportunity to make money?

    Layers of deductions, only pickles left.

    The masons were eating brown rice and nibbling pickles, their faces full of anger.

    Going into the mountains to quarry rocks is heavy work, one meal is dry, the other meal is thin, and you can only eat pickles, how can you be full?  It is equivalent to working hungry every day.

    Moreover, they are all strong laborers in the family, without them, spring plowing will definitely be delayed.

    "Uncle Yao, have you heard? Mr. Zhao, who is from other places, pays more than ten Wen a day." A stonemason whispered.

    Uncle Yao's name is Huang Yao, and he is quite old, in fact, he is only in his twenties.

    Huang Yao had seen the world, and was sent to the county town every year to hold grain, that is, to send the village's land tax to the county government.  One year, he was retained by the magistrate to help repair the city wall for half a year.

    In the past six months, I didn't earn a lot of wages, but my father at home starved to death, and my mother chose to hang herself in order to save food.

    Huang Yao asked: "How much does Master Zhao pay?"

    The stonemason said: "Master Zhao gave 1,000 taels of silver, and 800 taels to buy the rocky beach. Master Huang is responsible for leveling the river beach. The other two hundred miles are all for the wages of stone quarrymen and woodcutters. Master Zhao buys stone materials.  , The cost of the timber is calculated separately."

    The stonemasons were shocked, Mr. Zhao is really rich!

    A stonemason said: "Our stone quarryers and those who fell trees paid two hundred taels for their wages?"

    "Isn't it?" said the stonemason before, "Master Zhao's wages at the beginning were 80 yuan a day for the quarryman, 60 yuan a day for the woodcutter, and 50 yuan a day for the rocky beach. Now it's good, we only pay 10 yuan a day for quarrying."  Wen, 5 Wen a day for cutting down trees, not even wages at the rocky beach!"

    Another stonemason said: "I also heard people say that Mr. Zhao didn't press for the construction period, and advised Mr. Huang to start work after the spring plowing."

    "Then why is Mr. Huang so anxious?"

    "I'm in a hurry to get the money. The warehouse has not been built yet, so Mr. Zhao took out a thousand taels. The remaining money must be several thousand taels?"

    "Yellow skin like a dog!"

    "This Mr. Zhao is really a good man. I heard that the tenant who was injured, he went to send money overnight to make amends. He is a foreigner, how dare he bully us locals? It's all Mr. Huang who is playing tricks!"

    "Oh, don't talk about it, this is fate. We are born with low fate!"

    ""

    Before the meal was finished, the foreman began to urge again, and everyone could only dig into their mouths.

    In the afternoon, suddenly a stone rolled down, and a stonemason could not avoid it.sp; Just woke up and was about to drink water, but was whipped away by the supervisor: "Still lazy, go to work!"

    Just want to fight, just want to rush, it is best to be exhausted.

    One of the paddy fields that this person cultivated was not bad.  If this person is exhausted, he will wait for rent arrears this year, and if he takes the opportunity to tease him, he will definitely be robbed of his tenant next year.

    The environment is dangerous, and if the same kind is dead, they can be divided and eaten!

    All the workers stopped their work and glared at the supervisor one after another, but they did not dare to rebel.

    "What are you looking at? Ask for a beating!" the foreman shouted.

    The accumulated anger was suppressed again, and everyone could only bury their heads in their work.

    Suddenly, Zhao Han took Xiaohong and Xiaocui and walked slowly towards the construction site, followed by two inn clerks.

    The foreman rushed to meet him, nodded and said, "Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "I'll check the progress."

    The foreman patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, I promise to work quickly. Anyone who dares to be disobedient will beat him to death!"

    The supervisors echoed one after another.

    Zhao Han persuaded loudly: "People in the village, look down and see, it's better not to hit people. I'm in business, and I pay attention to harmony to make money. If you beat people up, what kind of peace is there? Everyone hates me.  "

    Many nearby tenants heard this and thought that Mr. Zhao was reasonable, but Mr. Huang in this town was very bad.

    Zhao Han asked two inn clerks to put down the wooden barrels they had picked up, and shouted loudly: "Come here, folks. You have worked hard, and I have prepared some tea as a reward for you all."

    The foreman didn't dare to stop him, so he quickly flattered: "Mr. Zhao is really benevolent." Then he shouted at everyone, "Hurry up and have tea!"

    The tenants gathered around one after another, fetching bowls and waiting to drink tea.

    Zhao Han smiled warmly and expressed concern and condolences: "How are you doing? Don't worry, you will work for me, and I promise not to let you suffer."

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

    Suddenly, a tenant knelt down and cried bitterly: "Master Zhao, help me! ?

    ,

    "What life am I saving? I'm just a foreign businessman."

    Zhao Han quickly shook his head and refused.

    The tenants looked at each other, another one knelt down, and then hula la knelt down a large area.

    "Master Zhao, help me!"

    "Master Zhao, do me a favor and let us live."

    "Master Zhao leaves Huangjia Town, Master Huang will not force us to work!"

    "Master Zhao"

    At this very moment, Mr. Zhao is going to die of anger!

    ?After more than 20 days of planning, resentment was brewing for another eight days.  These oppressed tenants were not thinking of resistance, but asking Zhao Han to withdraw his capital and leave Huangjia Town.

    In their view, Master Huang is cruel and tyrannical, while Master Zhao is kind-hearted.

    Therefore, Mr. Zhao is more talkative, and a loss of one thousand taels is nothing.

    And Mr. Huang is not easy to talk, so we can only bear it.

    A kind of bullying in disguise.

    Zhao Han didn't want to kill Huang Zundao now, but wanted to cut off the tenant in front of him.  I can't argue with it!

    "The skin is itchy, isn't it?"

    Fortunately, there was a lovely foreman to help, this guy pulled out his whip, and scolded: "Master Zhao is kind-hearted, and he brought you tea in person, and you just want to make Master Zhao lose money. You have no conscience at all, and things that are ungrateful are not allowed.  Let's have some tea, let's go to work!"

    The overseers swung their whips one after another, causing the tenants to hide with their heads in their hands.

    They were beaten next to each other, but knelt down and refused to leave. They also wanted to beg Zhao Han to withdraw their capital and leave, pinning all their hopes of survival on Zhao Han's kindness.

    Zhao Han was still sowing discord, and hurriedly pulled the foreman: "This brother, you have something to say, don't break him."

    The foreman stopped and said: "Don't worry about Mr. Zhao, these bastards want to be beaten, just give them another beat."

    Immediately, the supervisors started to attack harder. The tenants didn't dare to resist, but they didn't obey their orders and went to work, so they just knelt down next to each other.  Some people even crawled forward under the whipping, hugged Zhao Han's leg tightly, and begged Master Zhao to leave Huangjia Town as soon as possible.

    Looking at the tenant who was beaten and rolled around but didn't have the courage to resist, Zhao Han's mentality tended to explode.

    What the hell?

    Zhao Han seemed unable to bear to see the tenants suffer, and lamented: "Forget it, forget it, I will lose one thousand taels of silver. Whoever calls Master Huang, I will settle the bill with him."

    "Zhao Xianggong, you can't leave." The foreman quickly dissuaded him, and he wanted to continue to deduct the food expenses of the project.

    Zhao Han shouted angrily: "Go!"

    ?The foreman could only send one supervisor, and after only a few minutes, he invited Huang Zundao to the river beach.

    "Reverse, reverse, get out of here and go to work!"

    Huang Zundao scolded the tenants, and then said with a smile: "Senior Zhao, don't listen to these people's nonsense, the warehouse will be built soon."

    Zhao Han was worried: "If you offend these many tenants, even if you build the warehouse, what if any of them get evil intentions and come to burn my goods at night? Forget it, forget it.  Go to the next town and relocate."

    "No way, no way," Huang Zundao was afraid that Zhao Han would give up halfway, "There are late students watching, these people don't dare to mess around, seniors just don't worry."

    Zhao Han pointed at the tenants: "What kind of beatings have they made? How can I rest assured!"

    "I guarantee that no one will dare to burn the warehouse." Huang Zundao said quickly.

    "How can you guarantee it?" Zhao Han said angrily, "Why don't we make a contract, and if one day my goods are burned, you will be fully compensated."

    "This" Huang Zundao was at a loss for words.

    Zhao Han sneered and said, "You can't do it right, so what promise do you have?"

    Huang Zundao couldn't explain to Zhao Han, so he could only vent his anger on the tenant and asked, "Who led the trouble just now?"

    "Master, it's Huang Laoshi who takes the lead!" The foreman pointed to the tenant who was the first to kneel down for help.

    Huang Zundao grinned grimly: "Okay, Huang Laoshi, you are really dishonest, dare to take the lead in sabotaging the good things of the old man! Your field is gone, let others plow it this year."

    These words were like a bolt from the blue, Huang Laoshi slumped on the spot, looking at Huang Zundao stupidly.

    Huang Zundao looked at the other tenants again, and threatened: "Whoever dares to talk nonsense, don't plow the fields anymore!"

    The tenants were all frightened, stood up one after another, turned around with tools and went to work.

    The conflict Zhao Han deliberately provoked was suppressed by Huang Zundao with a few words.

    Land!

    Land!

    Land!

    &Zhao Han said to the rest of the tenants: "Listen up, I've killed Master Huang, and I'm going to kill his two sons. Anyone who follows me will have land to share. I'm not a robber. I killed someone.  I won’t leave. My family has friendship with the governor. What is a governor? The governor is the biggest official in Jiangxi. I’m going to occupy Huang’s town, and I’ll give you all the land, and the government won’t send troops.  stand out!"

    After hesitating for a moment, three more people stood up one after another, all of whom were dying.

    Xiao Hong rushed over suddenly, picked up a stone, smashed it twice on Huang Zundao's body, and then shouted to the crowd: "Brother, you still don't stand up. I've turned against you, can you escape?"

    Xiaohong's elder brother Huang Youtian backed away in fright.

    After taking a few steps back, Huang Youtian stepped forward bravely, raised the shovel and began to whip the corpse.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "These brothers all have land to share. Master Huang's field will be mine from now on. Anyone who wants to share the land should hurry up!"

    No one will come out, they still have to wait and see.

    Because Huang Zundao's two sons are still there, and many domestic slaves are also there, unless those people are also killed.

    Huang Dashan took the stonemasons across the river, and before he had time to speak, Huang Shuncheng and Huang Shunzhang brought their slaves to kill them.

    On the other side, Zhang Tieniu ran wildly, holding a hatchet in both hands, and yelled: "I, Tieniu, are here! ?

 Text 093 [Submissive?  mob?  ] (addition for the lord "Zi Yi Zi")

    ,

    However, Jiang Dashan handed in the nomination certificate and took two tenants on board.

    It was a ferry boat, and the boatman was not well-informed, so he had long since disappeared without a trace.

    One of the tenants paddled, the other tenant punted, and the ferry sailed quickly to the opposite bank.

    Holding a shovel in his hand, Jiang Dashan jumped off the boat before it came to a complete stop. Four stonemasons happened to come over carrying stones.

    "Dashan, why are you here?" one of the masons asked.

    Jiang Dashan said with a smile: "Come here to do business."

    While talking, the other two tenants also disembarked, each holding a pole.

    ? Seven people went to the quarry together. The foreman was lying on the edge of the quarry and taking a nap, so that several supervisors watched the work.

    "Master Huang asked me to come and deliver a message."

    Jiang Dashan walked forward while talking, the foreman still lay still, and several supervisors also stood in place.

    With a stick of foxtail in his mouth, the foreman asked, "What message?"

    Jiang Dashan was quite nervous, his palms were covered with sweat, and the smile on his face began to stiffen.  He walked up to the foreman, suddenly picked up the shovel and smashed it down, shouting at the same time: "Uncle Yao, do it!"

    Huang Yao was using an iron chisel to pry the stone, but saw Jiang Dashan swung down the foreman's head with a shovel.

    Everyone was dumbfounded. Whether it was a stonemason or a supervisor, they stood still and did not respond.

    ?Because the picture is too violent, red and white burst out, bloody and disgusting.

    "Master Huang was beaten to death!" Jiang Dashan shouted again.

    Once the foreman died, there were only four supervisors left in the quarry, but there were more than ten stonemasons.

    ?At this moment, there was a death, and I don't know what happened, and I heard that Mr. Huang was beaten to death, the four supervisors retreated subconsciously, and they were no longer as arrogant as before.

    Jiang Dashan shouted again: "Uncle Yao, you forgot how your elder sister died? Master Huang has been beaten to death, and you still dare not do it?"

    "kill!"

    Huang Yao suddenly looked ferocious, and using the iron rod as an iron gun, he sprinted towards the nearest supervisor.

    The overseer was so frightened that he turned around and was about to run away, but was tripped by the stonemason next to him.

    This stonemason was Huang Shun, who swung a sledgehammer and smashed it down, hitting the vest so hard that the supervisor immediately vomited blood.  Huang Yao also rushed over, and the iron rod suddenly pierced down, making a bloody hole in the supervisor's waist.

    Jiang Dashan took two tenants and chased after the other three supervisors.

    Three overseers oiled the soles of their feet, and one was chased to the river, where he jumped into the river and went downstream.  The other two fled into the mountains, but Jiang Dashan didn't chase them any more.

    "Cross the river!" Jiang Dashan said.

    Huang Yao dragged the iron rod and said, "Let's go!"

    Huang Shun threw away the sledgehammer, picked up an iron chisel, and said to the other stonemasons: "Master Huang was beaten to death on the other side, and you are still hammering stones here?"

    More than a dozen masons stood there dumbfounded, wanting to cross the river to have a look, but they were too afraid to move.

    "Let's go!" Huang Yao jumped onto the boat.

    Jiang Dashan was ordered to cross the river to pick up people, but he only picked up two. He felt that the matter was not done well.

    Just as the boat was about to sail, a stonemason suddenly said, "Go and have a look."

    "Yes, go and have a look." The other masons responded.

    Really just go over and see, if there is cheap and no danger, they will follow suit.

    Seeing that everyone was on board, Jiang Dashan ordered the boat to sail, and said to the stonemasons: "Master Huang cheated everyone of their wages, and even wanted to swallow Master Zhao's one thousand taels of silver. Master Zhao joined forces with the tenants in the village and took Master Huang away.  He was beaten to death on the spot. Mr. Zhao also said that the governor is his relative. He will stay in Huangjia Town, and Mr. Huang's property will be his in the future. As long as we follow him, he is willing to divide the land.  "

    Huang Shun asked: "Master Zhao will not lie to us, will he? Is he really willing to divide the land?"

    Jiang Dashan said with a smile: "How much land do you have to buy for one thousand taels of silver? Mr. Zhao doesn't even care about one thousand taels of silver, how many acres of land will you waste?"

    "Then do it!" Huang Shun gritted his teeth and said, "I have long wanted to do it!"

    Huang Yao didn't speak all the time, just looked at the other side, not knowing what he was thinking.

    When the ferry docked, Jiang Dashan jumped off first: "Master Zhao, I brought him back."

    Before Zhao Han could speak, the Huang brothers brought their slaves to kill him.

    There were not many domestic servants who came this time, only about forty, and the servants of the other two families were not dispatched.

    Huang Yao threw away the iron chisel, walked silently to the rocky beach, picked up a shoulder pole and held it in his hand—the iron chisel was too heavy, not as good as a pole.

    "Where's my dad?"

    &nbspThe main wife was in her fifties, and she only had time to scream when she was knocked over by the tenant, and then beaten to death by beating her alive.

    When Zhao Han arrived, Huang Zundao's four grandsons and two granddaughters had all been beaten to death, and the oldest was only fourteen years old.

    "Stop it, stop it!"

    Zhao Han hissed and shouted, but couldn't hold it down at all.

    These tenants are either obedient citizens or mobs, and they can't decide the middle value.

    At this moment, Zhao Han really wanted to go to Ruijin to receive sutras from the three field soldiers chiefs.  How did they restrain the peasants, suppress the government and the landlords, and achieve a wonderful harmony?

    "Stop for me!"

    Zhao Han turned his spear, knocked over a tenant, stepped forward and grabbed his clothes and said, "Stop!"

    This tenant, who was beating a child violently just now, may be the son of some house slave.

    The child is dying, and it seems that he will not survive.

    There is a ferocious beast lurking in the heart of every obedient citizen, and Zhao Han released hundreds of ferocious beasts at once.

    This is a double-edged sword, if you don't use it well, you will cut yourself.

    Zhao Han leaned on his gun and jumped onto the stone vat in the courtyard, stepped on the side of the vat firmly and shouted: "Are there still awake, come to me quickly!"

    After shouting several times in a row, Huang Yao came running first, followed by Zhang Tieniu, Jiang Dashan and Chen Maosheng.

    Zhang Tieniu was horrified: "They are all fucking crazy, even killing children as young as they are, I can't stop them."

    "Master Zhao, someone was going to set fire, and I beat him away." Huang Shun also ran over suddenly.

    "Don't kill any more people, let alone set fires," Zhao Han ordered, "Go find your acquaintances and tell them not to do anything else, otherwise I won't divide the land. Hurry up, remember, beware of setting fires!"  "

    At some point, Xiaocui and Xiaohong helped Pang Chunlai into the courtyard.

    Pang Chunlai was covered in mud, probably because of bad eyesight, and fell into the paddy field halfway.

    Although covered in mud, Pang Chunlai still kept his demeanor, and said slowly: "Brother Han, the mob can't do anything. They are as fierce as they are now, and they are as afraid of officers and soldiers as they are."

    "I know." Zhao Han said helplessly.

    If he didn't want to quickly establish a base, why would he choose such a low-level method?

 Text 092 [Occupying Huangjia Town]

    ,

    Jiang Dashan's actions were not smooth, because he had a foreign surname, and many people did not listen to him.

    However, Huang Yao and Huang Shun quickly broke the situation. They first recruited the masons, and threatened that if they killed any more, they would not be given the land.  More than a dozen stonemasons were separated, each looking for a tenant with a good relationship, half threatening and half dissuading, so that everyone stopped.

    As for Zhang Tieniu and Chen Maosheng, they had no acquaintances in the village and town, so they could only violently rescue women and children along the way.

    Well, Chen Maosheng is no longer in the atmosphere group.

    Zhang Tieniu was in charge of rescuing people, and Chen Maosheng was in charge of soothing people's hearts, and let the women and children follow behind him.

    With just one stick of incense, the situation has stabilized.

    A tenant regained his sanity, looked at the corpses all over the ground, and vomited out with a "wow".

    Zhao Han did not take any action himself, but carefully observed the situation.

    Jiang Dashan has courage and brains, but because of his foreign surname, he is often isolated.

    Huang Shun, courageous, a little irritable in his work, directly beat and kicked tenants who did not listen to persuasion.  But taking the overall situation into consideration, when Zhao Han summoned his men, he came only after stopping the arson incident.

    Huang Yao, who doesn't talk much, is calm and delicate, has strong self-control and execution, and has a high prestige in Huangjia Town.

    If Zhao Han didn't show up and they rebelled on their own, Huang Yao must be the leader of the peasant army.

    "Mr. Zhao, help me!"

    Master Huang's confidant servant Huang Sanshui, who was not beaten to death, crawled out with a bruised nose and a swollen face to beg for mercy.

    Huang Shun walked over quickly, stepped on his vest, and stomped Huang Sanshui to the ground: "Master Zhao, anyone can forgive him, but Huang Sanshui alone can't."

    Huang Yao and Jiang Dashan also came, one with a pole and the other with a shovel, ready to beat Huang Sanshui to death at any time.

    Huang Sanshui shouted in horror: "Master Zhao, help me, I know where Huang Zundao's money is hidden!"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Tie it up."

    Holding an axe, Zhang Tieniu led Chen Maosheng this way, followed by a group of old and weak women and children.

    They gathered all the survivors, and Chen Maosheng was doing ideological work while walking: "My son is kind-hearted, and he is dedicated to making decisions for the poor. Don't be afraid, as long as you listen to your son, he will protect you"

    Zhao Han took a glance and asked, "Is it all ready?"

    Of course no one is willing to leave. The tenants and masons are still waiting for Mr. Zhao to divide the land.

    "You guys, are you willing to listen to me?" Zhao Han asked.

    Jiang Dashan suddenly knelt down: "It's all up to Mr. Zhao, and we all listen to Mr. Zhao!"

    "Listen to Mr. Zhao!"

    Everyone reacted and knelt on the ground in unison, begging Zhao Han to fulfill the promise of dividing the land.

    Zhao Han scolded: "Stand up, I don't like weak knees."

    Some people stood up, some were still kneeling, they all looked at Zhao Han eagerly, and all they could think about was dividing the land.

    Zhao Han pointed to the open space in the courtyard: "There was no rule before. You kill people indiscriminately, and I can't punish you. Now make the first rule, hand over all the things you robbed, and put them there for me to deal with! Who dares to privately  Hidden, if I find it, I won't give him any land!"

    Everyone was horrified and handed over their belongings one after another, fearing that Zhao Han would send someone to search him.

    Zhao Han said again: "Dashan, you count the number of tenants. Maosheng, you count the Huang family who are still alive."

    The two acted immediately. There were 103 tenants (including masons) and 18 surviving Huang family members (including maids and servants).

    There are also a few seriously injured, life and death depend on God's will, and there is only one poor doctor in the town.

    Zhao Han announced: "I will share half of Huang Zundao's land property, and give priority to the ones you cultivated. After all, there are still crops you planted in the field."

    Suddenly, a tenant said: "Master Zhao, can we redistribute the land? My tenants are all Xia Tian."

    "Yes, my family's farmland is not good either." Another tenant echoed.

    Zhao Han said: "If it is assigned to Xiatian, I will compensate you according to the circumstances, and give you more."

    Hearing this, no one has any more objections.

    Zhao Han continued: "Those who have done meritorious service today, Chen Maosheng, Zhang Tieniu, Huang Yao, Huang Shun, Jiang Dashan, Jiang Liang, and Liu Zhu. Each of you can get two more acres of land!"

    "Thank you, Mr. Zhao!" Huang Shun was overjoyed, and quickly knelt down.

    The rest of the recipients also knelt down one after another.

    Jiang Liang and Liu Zhu are both people with foreign surnames who followed Jiang Dashan and crossed the river together to meet the masons.

    Zhao Han then announced that those who took the lead in submitting their certificates included that old man Huang.Good sir.

    I have to admit that Zhao Han has also tasted the sweetness, and is even a little addicted to it.

    However, Zhao Han quickly sobered up.

    These peasants voluntarily surrendered the seized land, nothing more than letting Zhao Han bear the pressure from the government.

    ? If you can't bear it, everything will stop.

    The land must be used as a link to integrate the farmers into a whole.

    Establish rules, gather people's hearts, organize ranks, and clarify rewards and punishments.

    What's the use of holding so much land by yourself?

    ? In the future, rewards will be given for meritorious service. Those who make small contributions will be rewarded with money, and those who have made great achievements will be given land. It doesn't matter if you divide all your land.

    As long as external threats exist, these farmers are bound.

    Peasants who have been allocated land will not easily compromise with the government.

    Moreover, if the incident in Huangjia Town is spread to the neighboring villages and towns, some people may take the opportunity to riot.

    The peasant uprising is like a virus, and it is terrible when it breaks out.

    Take southern Fujian as an example. The big landowner surnamed Shi was exploiting so much that the peasants on the outskirts of Fucheng could only endure it.

    In the early years of Chongzhen, suddenly there was a peasant uprising, hundreds of people rushed into the landlord's house, wiped out Master Shi's family and divided the land.

    When the news spread, it was like sparks starting a prairie fire.

    ? Nan'an, Anxi, Yongchun, Dehua, Changtai, Youxi, Datian, Yongfu, Minqing, Xianyou Across prefectures and prefectures, riots took place one after another, occupying more than ten counties in ten months.

    It's a pity that they all started spontaneously, and the peasant army was scattered and wiped out by the government army within half a year.

    After cleaning and scrubbing the Huang family's ancestral house, Zhao Han lived in that night, and escorted Huang Sanshui to get Master Huang's money.

    (Thanks to the leaders of echoss, Longxiang Shengteng, Jiaojiaomingyuejianfeiyang, hello Mr. Fu for their rewards. In addition, I discovered that Dan Lingdi is the master of this book, thank you His Majesty Lingdi for flipping the card.?

    ,

    Huang Zundao's silver was not hidden secretly, he just dug a cellar in the backyard.

    In the cellar, there is a large wooden box, the body of which is wrapped with brass skin.

    Apparently to prevent theft, a few large iron nails penetrated the bottom of the box and drove hard into the stone slab on the ground, and the entire box was fixed.

    In addition, the lid of the box was locked with six locks

    "Tie Niu, smash it open!" Zhao Han ordered.

    Zhang Tieniu didn't dare to use the blade of the axe, so he just used the back of the axe to smash it.  His arm was so weak that he finally broke four locks, which made Zhao Han look forward to the treasure in the box even more.

    "boom!"

    The last lock was smashed, and Zhang Tieniu lifted the lid of the box.

    Zhao Han's expression was very exciting, he was stunned for a few seconds, and suddenly cursed: "This is a ****, there is not much money hidden, and the box is quite bluffing."

    Carrying a large scale, it weighs only more than 2,700 taels.

    Among them, one thousand taels was the bait thrown by Zhao Han!

    No wonder Huang Zundao was so anxious that he couldn't even take care of the spring plowing, so he forced the tenants to work quickly.  The money that Zhao Han casually threw out was more than half of the Huang family's savings for several generations.

    A local rich man in a remote countryside really can't expect too much.

    Although Huang Zundao opened an inn and a few shops in the town, the traffic was not large, and he could not make much money in a year.

    By exploiting farmers and tenants, how much oil and water can be blown up?

    What's more, Huang Zundao also has a son who has moved to live in the county. Because he couldn't afford the prostitution fee, he asked his wife to go home and get money to redeem him.  That's another expense!

    Master Huang's real property is the land, the ancestral house!

    Only this Huang family's ancestral house does not have a thousand taels of silver, so it is impossible to build it.

    Alas, it's better than nothing, the cash flow of Datong Society has finally increased to more than 3,000 taels.

    In the next few days, it will be to register the population and measure the land of the whole town.

    Whether it is to make rules, or to kill people to gain power, you have to divide the land.

    Only after allocating the land can Zhao Han truly establish his authority!

    During the measurement of the land, the news of the peasant riots in Huangjia Town quickly spread to the lower reaches of Heshui - the upper reaches are the mountains.

    Maotian Village and Yinkeng Village in the lower reaches are still just villages, not even towns.

    In the Ming Dynasty, towns and villages were not administrative units, there were no town and village chiefs, and there was no subordinate relationship between the two.

    The Lijia chiefs of the two villages were all shocked. While guarding against the peasants' uprising, they sent people to the county to report to the officials.

    Reporting to the official is useful?

    The nearest guard is located in Yongxin County, that is, the Yongxin Shouyu Qianhu Office, which cannot control the affairs of Luling County.

    The county government of Luling is attached to Guoji'an Fucheng.

    "The county lord, the mob in Huangjia Town is making trouble, and they are bewitched by Zhao Yan, a scholar of auspicious waters. Please make decisions for the people, arrest the wanted scholar Zhao Yan at sea, and send troops to suppress those rioters!"

    There are two people standing under the hall, one is Huang Yu, the patriarch of the Luling Huang Clan, and the other is Huang Shunli, the youngest son of Huang Zundao.

    The Huang family in Huangjia Town is just a branch of the Huang family in Luling!

    Sun Yanghuai, the county magistrate, stroked his beard and said: "This county has known it, so let's go and inform the Fuzun. Go back and wait slowly."

    What power can a magistrate attached to Guofu City have?

    You treat everyone as Wang Yangming.

    ? When Wang Yangming left Longchang Station, his first position was the county magistrate of Luling.  The term of office is only seven months, and the forces of all sizes in the county have been ruled into obedience.

    ? As the magistrate of Luling County, Sun Yanghuai took office for two years and could only manage one street of the county government.

    Originally, there were many fathers-in-law and mother-in-law, but suddenly another eunuch was airborne

    The next day, Xu Fusheng, the magistrate of Ji'an, received a report from the magistrate of Luling.

    Xu Fusheng is Xu Xiake's family brother, and Xu Fusheng's son-in-law Wu Jimei is Xu Xiake's nephew.

    But this guy is stupid and doesn't do anything. Xu Xiake later traveled to Ji'an, preferring to live in a stranger's house rather than trouble this relative.  Moreover, he complained in "Xu Xiake's Travel Notes", saying that Xu Fusheng was not responsible at all. He was supposed to preside over the end-of-year exams for the students himself, but he suddenly released pigeons on the day of the exams. The scholars in Ji'an Prefecture were very disappointed.

    "Just a small town?"

    At this moment, when Xu Fusheng received the news of the civil unrest, he smiled and ignored it.

    In Xu Zhifu's view, an accident in a small town deserves to be called civil unrest?

    The magistrate has no soldiers in his hands, and he has to wait for things to become serious before he has a reason to recruit countrymen and get money from the pockets of gentry.The sound was so loud that all the diners in the store turned their heads to look at him.

    "Ahem!"

    Fei Ruhe coughed twice, and said hastily, "That Huang Yuanwai bullies people too much."

    The diners immediately echoed: "It's just too much deceit, and even cheated Zhao Xiucai of one thousand taels of silver."

    After those people diverted their attention, Fei Ruhe complained in a low voice: "Sir and Zhao Han, you did such a big thing quietly, and you didn't even tell me!"

    Fei Chun asked, "Does the young master dare to rebel?"

    "Yes why don't you dare?" Fei Ruhe's tone weakened, and he was really a little scared.

    Fei Chun persuaded: "Master, let's go home."

    "I won't return!"

    Fei Ruhe gritted his teeth and said, "Let's change our names and surnames, try to rebel with him, and do it quickly!"

    Fei Chun had a bitter expression on his face: "Master, why bother, you are not short of money."

    Fei Ruhe struggled and said, "I just want to do big things. To be honest, I won't be able to do big things if I take the military examination as an official. Even if I can lead troops to fight, I still have to look at the faces of civil officials and be the grandson of eunuchs. This is four words."  Uncle said, he will definitely not lie to me."

    Fei Chun was powerless to persuade, so he had to shut up.

    Suddenly, someone shouted outside the inn: "The eunuch is here again!"

    Everyone ran out of the inn one after another, but they saw a notice posted at the door, to the effect that: the tax supervisor eunuch rebuilds the Jinggang Chaoguan, and is now recruiting tax collectors and tax soldiers. Those who are interested will report to the inspection office tomorrow.

    Fei Ruhe's eyes lit up immediately.

    He took Fei Chun to inquire about the news, but the eunuch only brought four people to the post, one of whom was guarding the boats by the river, and the other three lived with the eunuch in the inspection department.

    These tax-supervising eunuchs have no establishment under their command, so they can only be temporarily recruited by themselves. Even the four servants they brought with them are gangsters recruited in Luling County.

    Fei Ruhe went to the river and bought a small boat from a fisherman at double the price.

    He said to Fei Chun: "Stay on the boat, light the lantern at night, and set sail when I come!"

    "What is the young master going to do?" Fei Chun asked.

    Fei Ruhe smiled and said, "Like Fourth Uncle, kill eunuchs, and do great things!"

    Fei Chun said in shock: "You are crazy!"

    "The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan." Fei Ruhe sneered.

    In fact, Fei Ruhe doesn't know what his ambition is, he only hopes to do great things vigorously.

    Let Fei Chun stay on the fishing boat, while Fei Ruhe went to inspect the yamen with sword and bow on his back.

    "嗙嗙嗙嗙!"

    Fei Ruhe knocked on the door frantically.

    A eunuch's servant opened the door and said in a bad mood: "Master Tax Inspector just arrived today and was very tired all the way. I want to join the group and come back tomorrow."

    "I'm going to join the gang today!" Fei Ruhe kicked the man over.

    Other followers surrounded them one after another, Fei Ruhe didn't draw out his saber, and just used the scabbard to knock them down.

    The eunuch came looking for the sound, just in time to see this scene, and exclaimed: "What a strong man!"

    Fei Ruhe clasped his fists and said, "Jiujiang Zhang Yaonian, pay homage to the tax supervisor. I killed someone in Jiujiang, and there is a murder case. Will the tax supervisor dare to accept it?"

    The eunuch said happily: "Why don't you dare accept it? It's not a problem to kill ten or eight. From now on, follow our family and work hard!"

    The eunuch felt that he had recruited a strong general, and he was not afraid of being slaughtered like his predecessor, so he immediately asked his servant to buy wine and vegetables and come back to entertain him.

    It is said that it is to buy wine and food, and it is definitely free of money.

    Fei Ruhe ate and drank a lot, became even more grateful, and volunteered to keep vigil for the eunuch.

    That night, Fei Ruhe walked into the room and chopped off the eunuch.

    The guy went straight to the river with his head in his hands, jumped on the fishing boat and said, "Go boat, Huangjia Town is upstream!"

    It was pure luck for the newly appointed eunuch to meet such a fool as Fei Ruhe.  He didn't grab even a tael of silver, just doing big things for the hell, and his head was taken away in a daze.

    The eunuch was hacked to death in his sleep. It is estimated that he woke up in the underworld. He did not know how to explain the cause of his death after seeing the King of Hades.

 Text 096 [Lixin Liwei] (addition for the leader "Ding Boyue")

    ,

    The household register of the whole town was placed in front of Zhao Han.

    The data is very detailed, except for a few owner farmers and small landlords, other tenants dare not hide information.

    Yes, there are still farmers and small landlords in Huangjia Town!

    All are tribesmen separated from the Sanhuang and Li families in the past few decades.  They also hate Sanhuang and the Li family. If there is a natural disaster, it is easy for the big landlords to occupy the land.

    There are 517 households in the town, with a total of 3,645 people, including 2,029 males and 1,616 females.

    For the above data, children under the age of 12 are not counted, because it was very easy to die in ancient times.  Zhao Han ordered that a separate book be created for children under the age of 12.

    At the same time, the family slaves left behind by the big clan have not yet been counted, and Zhao Han has other arrangements.

    If the entire population is counted, there should be more than 4,000 people.

    From the above data, it can be seen that the ratio of male to female is very outrageous. Huangjia Town must have a tradition of female infanticide, and there are a large number of bachelors.

    In addition, the proportion of the elderly population is very low, and the average age of the town is 31.26 years old (children under 12 years old are not counted).

    Poor health care is not the main reason.

    It is purely that the food grown is not enough to eat. Once the harvest fails, some old people commit suicide on their own initiative.  Especially old women!

    "My lord, the field has been divided." Chen Maosheng came in holding the fish scale book.

    In Zhao Han's hands, including the mountains, he has about 18,000 mu of land.

    Jiang Dashan, Li Zheng and others who took the initiative to make meritorious service, each household was allocated 20 mu of land;

    ?Huang Laoshi and others who submitted the name certificates will get 19 mu of land for each household;

    ? The first batch of rebels will get 18 mu of land for each household;

    ?The second batch of rioters will get 16 mu of land for each household;

    ?The third batch of rioters will get 15 mu of land for each household;

    Each household of Shunmin who watched the play from beginning to end was allocated 5 mu of land.

    Of course, the above are just rough rules.  If someone is allocated a lower-class field, Zhao Han will give more as appropriate, and try to be fair.

    A total of more than 8,000 mu of land was allocated, and Zhao Han himself had about 10,000 mu of land left.

    "No trouble, right?" Zhao Han asked.

    Chen Maosheng said: "There were a few fights and there were fights, but Tie Niu led people to stop them."

    Mr. Zhao Ziyue, the largest landlord in Huangjia Town, put away the household registration booklet and land booklet, and said with a smile on his face: "Call all the farmers and come to the meeting outside the gate of Huangjiazu's house the next morning. By the way, tell them, no matter adults or children, come here  You can get white-collar food!"

    At this time, the spring plowing was over. When Zhao Han divided the fields, he tried his best to distribute the land to whomever he cultivated, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts of interests.

    The sky was dimly bright, and about 4,000 people, including children, came to Huang Jiazu's house one after another.

    The door opens.

    Zhao Han strode out, followed by Pang Chunlai, Zhang Tieniu, Chen Maosheng, Jiang Dashan, Huang Yao, Huang Shun, Li Zheng, Jiang Liang, Liu Zhu, Xiaohong, Xiaocui and others.

    Scanning the crowd, Zhao Han said loudly: "I know, you are all here to receive food, I don't know what a meeting is."

    "Ha ha ha ha."

    Some farmers laughed, while more farmers looked forward to it.

    "I won't keep you waiting too long," Zhao Han said to Chen Maosheng, "the grain distribution will start, and each adult (over 12 years old) will have five buckets of rice, and children will get half of it. Divide according to the registered household register"

    "Master Zhao!" Suddenly someone shouted.

    Zhao Han asked: "What's wrong?"

    The man stammered: "II want to register."

    "Register his household registration immediately," Zhao Han said kindly without punishing the person, "Anyone who hasn't created a household registration can come and register, and receive grain according to their household registration. Adults get five buckets of rice, and children get half of it."

    As soon as this remark came out, twenty-one villagers came suddenly, all of whom were self-cultivating farmers and small landlords.

    ? They are closer to the big family that was exterminated, not emotional relationship, but blood relationship, and they have been separated for no more than 50 years.

    After the registration was completed, Zhao Han began to distribute food.

    It was agreed that five buckets per person is five buckets, and there is no use of small buckets.

    Although Huang Zundao didn't have much money, he had a lot of grain. This thing is the hard currency in the countryside!

    The same is true for several other big families. Huang Erye’s family even only has more than 300 taels of silver, but they have stored up thousands of shi of grain—some of them are moldy and black, and they are unwilling to distribute them to the poor.

    What Zhao Han distributes this time is all old grain, and if it continues to be stored, it will only rot.

    ? I saw one farmer after another, passing by after being calledgood people.

    Zhao Han pointed to the remaining four people again: "I will choose those who can write and count, and help us clear up the land together. These four people cheated and cheated, measuring other people's fields to a large area, and measuring their own fields to a small area."  , I want to fool around and get an extra acre or two. Tell me, are they guilty or not!"

    "Guilty!"

    "It should be killed!"

    This kind of thing aroused public anger, and countless farmers shouted and killed.

    Zhao Han said: "Although this matter is bad, the crime does not warrant death. Each of them was fined to hand over one mu of land to be used as a private school's school field. Then let the four of them take turns to clean the private school for a year!"

    "good!"

    The farmers began to cheer.

    The food release is Lixin.

    Murder is Li Wei.

    Zhao Han took the opportunity to shout: "Now, each family has a young man, come and register to practice group courage. Don't worry, everyone, it won't take up the busy farming time, and it won't delay your growing grain! Don't fool me, no one over forty-five years old,  Whoever dares to lie will be harvested!"

    The farmers looked left and right, and when they were entangled, they had to send out the young and strong at home.

    Because, Zhao Han already has prestige!

    More importantly, Zhao Han holds the land in his hands, which is a big killer.

    In an instant, Zhao Han had more than five hundred miscellaneous soldiers.

    After more than five hundred divided the fields, they could only follow Zhao Han, and more than half of them had seen bloody miscellaneous soldiers.

    Beating and killing a landlord is considered blood.

    Zhao Han's way of playing is somewhat similar to the Fubing system in the Sui and Tang Dynasties: the land is state-owned and distributed to the people.  Farming in busy time, training in leisure time, fighting in wartime.

    The collapse of the government military system in the Tang Dynasty was due to the fact that although the land was state-owned, it could not be taken back when it was distributed, and people still occupied the land after death.  Moreover, the rich and powerful families secretly swallow up state-owned land, but rely on their privileges to not pay taxes.

    Over time, the population will increase and the land will decrease.  The people at the bottom can divide the land in name, but the country has no land to divide, and the people have to pay taxes and fight wars.

    It is not a panacea to state-owned the land and distribute it to the people. The key is the executive power in the middle.

    Once the executive ability is finished, even the best policy is also finished.

    (I'm going, Emperor Danling has rewarded the leader, long live the emperor, long live, long live. ?

 Text 097【Send a Wife】

    ,

    In the eyes of discerning people, Zhao Han has already rebelled.

    Killing a few squires can only be regarded as banditry; not paying land taxes and Liao's salary can only be regarded as resistance to taxes.

    Changing a town to a village is really a rebellion!

    Towns and villages in the Ming Dynasty were just names of settlements and had no administrative significance.

    Strictly speaking, only in the town and its surrounding areas, the thirty or so households counted as Huangjia Town, and there are only two to three hundred people at full count.  Therefore, Huangjia Town is just a small town.

    In other places, calculated according to the Lijia system, there are about 30 li and more than 300 Jia (there are not so many government reports, because there are a large number of hidden household registrations).  Calculated according to the map system of the capital, there are 2 capitals and 24 maps in total.

    Zhao Han directly changed the administrative divisions of the imperial court, abolished the lijia system and the capital map system, and set the territory in his hand as Wuxing Town, with a central village and three natural villages under it.

    Just from this point of view, Zhao Han is the number one villain of Ming Dynasty!

    ?The peasant armies in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian joined forces and confronted the government for several years.  The Shaanxi and Shanxi peasant armies have already invaded Beizhili and are about to flee to Sichuan and Henan.

    The above-mentioned insurgents made such a big commotion, and no one has changed the administrative division.

    Zhao Han has shown essential differences from his rebel counterparts in various provinces, and it can be regarded as a mudslide in the peasant army.

    Ordinary farmers dispersed one after another, leaving only more than 500 young and strong.

    "Jiang Dashan!" Zhao Han shouted.

    "exist!"

    Jiang Dashan came out.

    Zhao Han said: "I appoint you as the head of Wuxing Village."

    Jiang Dashan thanked him with great joy. Wuxing Village belongs to the central village and is the most important of the four villages.

    "Huang Yao, I appoint you as the head of Shanghuang Village."

    "Huang Shun, I appoint you as the head of Xiahuang Village."

    "Li Zheng, I appoint you as the head of Lijia Village."

    The first batch of followers, their land allocation is only a little more than other farmers.  The official position is their compensation, and the village chief can receive two buckets of Lumi every month!

    (According to the "Research on Grain Yield per Mu in the Past Dynasties of China", one stone is about 153.5 Mingjin, and two buckets of rice is 30 Mingjin. There is also a saying that one stone is 120 Jin, which may be calculated with a small bucket.)

    In addition, due to the shortage of talents, these four people also hold military positions.

    A team of five people, an even team of ten people, a small team of fifty people, and a large team of one hundred people.

    Zhang Tieniu, Jiang Dashan, Huang Yao, Huang Shun, and Li Zheng were all appointed captains.

    Among them, Zhang Tieniu led more than a hundred people and was classified as a pacesetter under Zhao Han's direct management.

    From the mid-Jiajing period to the early years of Chongzhen, the main force of the Ming army was actually the pacesetters of the provinces, not the servants of the generals.

    The pacesetter system was born out of the battalion system and was first created by the famous minister Weng Wanda.

    That is, the governor, governor, commander-in-chief, deputy commander-in-chief, and generals. Because the army is unusable, they choose pacesetters to train and command in person, which is not inconsistent with the guard system and battalion system.  The logistics of the pacesetters are also personally in charge of by these officers. The number of pacesetters ranges from a few hundred to tens of thousands.

    Weng Wanda has commanded tens of thousands of pacesetters. As a civil servant, his military strength is superior to the Nine Frontiers.

    Even in many southern provinces, the governor (governor) also has a quota for pacesetters.

    It's very interesting, looking at the whole country, only the Jiangxi governor and the general soldier are not qualified to recruit pacesetters, and Scorpion Baba is the only one This is also Zhao Han's advantage.

    Huguang next door is also weak. The governor of Huguang and the chief soldier are not allowed to recruit pacesetters, but the governor of Xunyang has a small quota of pacesetters.

    At the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the troops of various provinces entered Beijing to serve the king, and the main force was the pacesetters from all over the country.

    They are the last essence of the Ming army, and most of them were directly tossed to collapse, and the next battle can only rely on the servants to do their best.

    Of course, the pacesetter system has not completely collapsed.

    Historically, Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang was captured by Sun Chuanting's pacesetters.

    The first two batches who followed Zhao Han in the uprising were all appointed to military positions, and they all received extra compensation.

    ? Zhao Han announced: "Tuanyong has no food and salary to pay, but he will take care of the food during training, and there will be starting fees and travel expenses during the war!"

    Because he was afraid of being encircled and suppressed by the government, Zhao Han stopped doing ideological work for the time being and had to concentrate on military training.

    "Above the captain, bachelors stand up!" Zhao Han said.

    Immediately, twelve people stood up, including Jiang Dashan, Li Zheng, Huang Yao, and Huang Shun. Sure enough, they dared to make trouble without concern.

    Zhao Han asked: "Do you want to ask for a wife?"

    "think!"

    Respond sparsely.

    ? Zhao Han asked: "Do you want to??Let's talk again.  "

    The "officers" who did not get wives were given two buckets of food as compensation, and promised to find wives for them in the future.

    Other officers who were not bachelors also received a bucket of food each.

    Ordinary soldiers, each receive half a bucket of food, which is considered their enlistment fee.

    After the wives and food were sent out, the miscellaneous soldiers immediately became energetic and no longer thought about deserting to go home

    Inside the Huang's Ancestral Hall.

    Pang Chunlai sat cross-legged on the ground with his sword in his hand. In front of him were two tutors, one from Huang's private school and the other from Li's private school.

    "You can also see that Mr. Zhao is going to rebel," Pang Chunlai threatened, "You can run away, or you can report to the officials. But if you dare to leave this place, your whole family will die and your land will be confiscated.  From now on, the Huang Family Ancestral Hall will be changed to Wuxing Private School, so you can follow me to teach."

    The two school teachers showed bitter expressions, and neither dared to say no.

    "Jiangxi deserves to be a place where the literary style is at its peak," Pang Chunlai said with emotion. "Many villages and towns in Xuanhua Township are very remote. There is actually a champion, a Tanhua, and more than a dozen Jinshi. It is unimaginable."

    The two tutors still dare not speak.

    The No. 1 scholar in Pang Chunlai's mouth came from the mountains, that is, the place where Fei Yinggong is now a bandit.

    It is precisely because of the emergence of champions, Tanhua, and many scholars that these rural land mergers have intensified, and there are not many self-cultivating farmers.  Either big landlords or small landlords who were separated, ordinary farmers were all reduced to tenants!

    In Huangjia Town and surrounding villages, Sanhuang and Li's family control 90% of the arable land, and their clansmen own the remaining 10%.

    The total population is a little over 4,000, and the total number of young and strong male servants in their four families exceeds 150, who can be converted into thugs at any time!

    This is nothing. According to historical records, it is not uncommon for a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River in the late Ming Dynasty to own millions of acres of land.  In that kind of place, you can't find any owner farmers with different surnames. They are all fucking landlords and tenants.

    Like tumors one by one, inexhaustible, dragging down Daming alive.

 Text 098 [Beggar Soldiers]

    Fei Chun sat on the fishing boat and waited, with a blood-stained cloth bag at his feet.

    Fei Ruhe stepped up the stone steps, scratched his head and stared at the wooden sign of "Wuxing Town" for a long time.

    Came to the wrong place again?

    Fei Ruhe took the boat all the way, and had already missed several villages and towns.

    "Old Cousin," Fei Ruhe called to stop a farmer who had blamed him, "Is Huangjia Town still further upstream?"

    The farmer just came to the town to mend the pot, and said with a smile: "This is Huangjia Town, Mr. Zhao changed his name."

    Fei Ruhe suddenly became excited: "Master Zhao is not Zhao Yan, Zhao Zi said?"

    The peasant said confusedly: "Master Zhao is Master Zhao."

    "Thank you for your guidance," Fei Ruhe clasped his fists and said, then immediately turned around and shouted, "Come up quickly, we're here!"

    Fei Chun carried the blood-stained sack, tied the small fishing boat to the shore, and walked quickly to Fei Ruhe's side.

    The master and servant went to the inn. The business was not very good. It was almost noon, and there were only a few people eating in the lobby.

    There is also a notice posted at the entrance of the inn: The town will spend a lot of money to buy corn (corn) and sweet potatoes (sweet potatoes).

    Fei Ruhe couldn't help sighing, "I'm afraid Brother Han is not doing well, and he's almost out of food."

    Fei Chun said: "The manager of this inn should belong to Brother Han."

    The original innkeeper was Huang Zundao's confidant, and he was fined to burn charcoal in the mountains, which is also considered a form of reform through labor.

    Huang Daliang is not very literate, he can only write his own name, he can recognize the name of the dish but he can't write it.  After he was promoted to be the shopkeeper, he had to find time every day to go to the private school to attend, and he returned to the inn to practice calligraphy while working.

    ?Master Zhao said, if within one year, if you can't learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and you can't learn more than 200 characters, you can change someone else to be the shopkeeper next year!

    "You two are objective, do you want to go to the top or stay in the store?" The store clerk came to ask.

    The clerk of this store is Xiaocui's younger brother. He used to collect firewood for the Huang family, but now he is thrown into the inn as a clerk.

    Fei Ruhe said: "I am Master Zhao's family brother, my name is Zhao Yaonian."

    This guy is even more competitive with "Yao Nian" because he worships his uncle - the last famous official of the Fei family, Fei Yaonian who is both civil and military.

    The store clerk was overjoyed, and said to Huang Daliang: "Shopkeeper, Mr. Zhao's brother is here!"

    Huang Daliang almost teleported out of the counter, arranged the affairs of the inn in a few words, and then led them to the town hall.

    The Huang Family Ancestral Hall was changed to a private school in Wuxing Town.

    ?The Huang family's ancestral house was changed to the Wuxing Town Hall.  The front yard is full of office space, Zhao Han himself lives in the backyard, and Pang Chunlai, Chen Maosheng, Zhang Tieniu, their wives and children also live in the backyard.

    Some maids and women, including those married to "military officers", can stay and work, and sign short contracts to receive monthly wages.

    ? While walking and chatting, I talked about some changes in Wuxing Town.

    Fei Ruhe couldn't help asking: "What is the mayor?"

    Huang Daliang explained: "The head of Lijia is gone, now there is only the mayor, and below the mayor are four village chiefs."

    Fei Ruhe looked at Fei Chun, both master and servant were shocked.

    This is no longer an ordinary rebellion, Zhao Han dared to reform directly!

    Seeing that they were startled, Huang Daliang smiled and said, "What is this? Mr. Zhao still let women be officials."

    "Women become officials?" Fei Ruhe didn't understand.

    Huang Daliang explained: "In the past, Xiaohong, the servant girl of Mr. Huang's family, is now named Huang Fei, and Mr. Zhao personally gave her a nickname. She is now the chief of the Maternity and Children's Department in Wuxing Town, and women and children are under her care. Mr. Zhao  Having said that, it is not allowed to hit women and children casually, and anyone who disobeys will be fined to sweep the town streets."

    Fei Chun asked puzzledly, "Women are willing to be officials?"

    Huang Daliang said with a smile: "What if you don't like it? Besides, when a woman is an official, she only cares about women and children. You can't let a man take care of it."

    Suddenly, Huang Daliang said in a low voice: "Master Zhao also said that drowning babies is not allowed. If it is found out, the rent and tax will be increased. This matter is also under the control of Section Chief Huang (Xiaohong)."

    Fei Ruhe nodded and said, "Infants should not be drowned."

    Huang Daliang sighed and said: "If you can support children, who would do that kind of thing? In fact, Mr. Zhao doesn't need to make rules. Everyone has divided the land now, and the rent of the land has been lowered. When life is better, no one will mess around."  Come."

    "All the land?" Fei Ruhe asked.

    Huang Daliang said: "There are still more than 20 households that have not been divided."

    Those who have not been allocated land are all self-cultivated farmers and small landlords, who are now isolated by the villagers.

    & n?When I saw the team, I was a little disappointed and said: "There are no serious weapons?"

    "Poor, let's make do with it." Zhao Han was also helpless.

    In order to quickly train the army and deal with the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers, Zhao Han did not conduct any military training for college students.

    Getting started is a simplified version of Mandarin Duck Array!

    ? Cut moso bamboo into a wolf's whisk, and keep the front branches to protect friendly troops from advancing.  This is the Wolf Soldier.

    The wooden pot cover is also used as a shield, and a sickle or kitchen knife is held in hand to cover and resist the enemy.  This is the rattan player.

    Cutting the hard-headed yellow bamboo into the spear body and binding the scissors into the spear tip are the core strength to kill the enemy.  This is the spearman.

    Moso bamboo, yellow bamboo, pot lids, sickles, kitchen knives, scissors This is the equipment of the peasant army in Wuxing Town, which at first glance looks like a group of beggar soldiers.

    Fei Ruhe wanted to be a general. In his imagination, the soldiers under his command should have sharp swords, well-equipped armor, and mighty military appearance.

    Dreams and reality seem to be a bit far apart.

    Seeing Zhao Han coming, Zhang Tieniu greeted him immediately, and said in a low voice, "My lord"

    "Captain Zhang, please address your military position!" Zhao Han interrupted immediately.

    "Chief!"

    Zhang Tieniu hurriedly stood up straight, yelled at the top of his voice, and then groaned in a low voice: "Chief, I'd better be your personal guard. It's boring to be a mandarin duck."

    Zhao Han now has two positions, one is the mayor of Wuxing Town, and the other is the captain of the regiment brave battalion.

    If it is said that the captain below wears three stripes, then Zhao Han, the captain, can wear five stripes.

    Facing Zhang Tieniu's complaints, Zhao Han reprimanded: "Other captains can practice, but you can't?"

    Zhang Tieniu said with a painful face: "This Laoshizi army formation, you have to advance together and retreat together, and you have to listen to orders. I'm dizzy from the practice. What's the use of that thing? It's over to fight and charge forward."

    Zhao Han was about to give up on Zhang Tieniu. He practiced for several days, and his performance was not as good as that of ordinary tenants.

    It is not a person who fights in a proper manner. The correct use is to let Zhang Tieniu lead the death squads to carry out special tactics such as night raids and guerrillas.  Or, with a group of first-board troops, desperately ran to climb the wall and attack the city.

    "well!"

    Zhao Han sighed: "Okay, you will be my guard from now on, and the first brigade will hand over to Fei" He stopped here, and Zhao Han asked Fei Ruhe, "What's your name now?"

    Fei Ruhe smiled and said, "My name is Zhao Yaonian."

    "The first brigade will be handed over to Zhao Yaonian for training!" Zhao Han immediately made adjustments.

    Fei Ruhe suddenly remembered something, asked for a cloth bag from Fei Chun, opened the bag and said, "This is my nomination certificate. I killed an eunuch in Jinggang Town."

    "Why do I want this thing?" Zhao Han felt a headache instantly, Zhang Tieniu was out of his mind, and Fei Ruhe didn't seem to be much better.

    However, Fei Ruhe was complacent, and began to tell the story: "I used a clever trick this time to earn the head of the eunuch without any effort. At that time, I went to Jinggang Town to look for my fourth uncle"

    This guy talked happily, embellishing details to show his wit and bravery.

    Then, Fei Ruhe looked at Zhao Han with an expression of "quickly praise me for being smart".

    Zhao Han sighed in his heart, and patted Fei Ruhe on the shoulder: "You are so smart, you already know how to use tricks."

    "Haha, it's a trivial matter, it's just a matter of adapting to the situation." Fei Ruhe said proudly.

    Zhao Han asked suddenly: "Then why don't you just follow the plan and stay with the eunuch as a confidant, and take the opportunity to develop your own subordinates. Wouldn't it be better to wait for the eunuch to collect money before killing him, bring a lot of money and his men, and then come to join me?"

    "Well……"

    Fei Ruhe was stunned for a moment, then slapped his head violently: "That's right, a good opportunity has been missed!" &lt;/div&gt

 Text 099 [Doing Great Things] (addition for the leader "Walking Beyond the Clouds")

    Fei Chun came to Wuxing Town and relieved the talent gap for Zhao Han.

    Although Chen Maosheng can read and write, but it is really difficult to count money and food, and he is busy with affairs and has no time to learn arithmetic.

    The local residents, of course, can write and count, but they can't reassure Zhao Han. Before the clearing of the land, there were several riots.

    The money and grain affairs can only be handled by Pang Chun.

    As soon as Fei Chun came, he was immediately put in good use, serving as the section chief of the household section of Wuxing Township, and concurrently the logistics officer of the Tuanyong Camp.

    For the time being, he has nothing else to do, but to pay the officials of the town office, and by the way, be responsible for the logistics during the training period of the regiment brave camp.

    All initial creation, lack of departments, lack of talents, will be gradually improved in the future.

    Zhao Han was busy training soldiers every day, and sent people to row downstream to listen to the military movements of the officers and soldiers.

    Waiting left and right, nothing happened, no sign of officers and soldiers.

    There are only less than sixty capitals in Luling County, Zhao Han occupied two capitals at once, and the magistrate didn't respond?

    In the blink of an eye, it entered May, and the rice had begun to head, and it was still calm.

    Instead, it was Huangba Village on the other side of the river, Maotian Village, Yinkeng Village, and Pingyang Village in the downstream, and Shangfang Village and Ganshang Village in the north. The gentry in these villages were disturbed.

    The reason is very simple. There are too many Huang surnames in Wuxing Town, and intermarriage between people with the same surname is not allowed, so they often marry women from the next village.

    Not to mention the distribution of land now, Zhao Han also distributed food.  Some daughters-in-law quietly went back to their natal family, brought a few catties of rice to help their natal family, and spread the news of the changes in Wuxing Town by the way.

    There are several villages in the surrounding area, the tenants are ready to move, and the landlords are walking on thin ice, sending people to the county seat to file a complaint

    "Mayor," Chen Maosheng came to report suddenly, "the quarry on the other side of the river has been taken over by the landlord surnamed Zuo in Huangba Village."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I will pick the time."

    Chen Maosheng added: "That quarry should be considered the public property of this town, and many people hope to send troops to take it back."

    "We'll talk about it after harvesting the rice." Zhao Han didn't deny the proposal.

    On the other side of the river is a steep hillside, which is actually the territory of Huangba Village.  Because the Huang family is so powerful, they forcibly occupied it more than ten years ago and robbed a piece of forest on the opposite bank.

    Today, several Huang masters are dead, and the quarry has been vacant, and the Zuo master of Huangba Village wants to take it back.

    The idea is also quite strange. He regards Zhao Han as a bandit who robbed Huang's family property, and thinks that Zhao Han dare not cross the river easily and use force.

    Zhao Han is really not free for the time being, the officers and soldiers have been missing for a long time, and the busy farming season is approaching, so he can only let the miscellaneous soldiers go home first.  He happened to find time to write the constitution of the Datong Association based on his practical experience.

    By the way, "The White-haired Girl" was adapted, and Chen Maosheng was responsible for the rehearsal, and the performance will be performed after the rice harvest.

    After sending Chen Maosheng away, Zhao Han began to write the articles of association.

    The general chapter at the beginning quotes the "Book of Rites": "On the journey of the great way, the world is for the publicso that the old will die, the strong will be useful, and the young will be goodso the outside is not closed, which is called Datong."

    Considering that the members from the lower class would not be able to understand it, Zhao Han translated this paragraph into vernacular.

    Next is the details——

    First, Chinese citizens who have reached the age of fifteen, who recognize the Datong Association's program and regulations, are willing to implement the Datong Association's resolutions, and accept the Datong Association's leadership, can apply to join the Datong Association.

    Second, members of the Datong Association do not receive salaries, but need to pay membership fees.

    Third, members of the Datong Association take the realization of Datong as their own responsibility, and do not hesitate to sacrifice everything personally.

    fourth……

    "Would you like to join?" Zhao Han handed over the written constitution.

    Fei Ruhe read the whole content carefully, scratched his head and said: "Wherever the Datong Association goes, is it like Wuxing Town to divide the land and produce?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "You want to ask, if I call Qianshan County, what will I do with Fei's family?"

    "Yes, this is it." Fei Ruhe nodded.

    Zhao Han has already thought about it: "Let's take your family as an example. First, you must have a separate household registration. There are too many people in your family, and the second and third uncles have to set up their own families"

    "Why separate households?" Fei Ruhe interrupted.

    Zhao Han replied: "To prevent the local clan from getting too big."

    Fei Ruhe said: "You continue."

    Zhao Han also said: "Secondly, all the shops, paper mills, and fried tea houses of Fei's family can be preserved. However, domestic slaves are not allowed to work, and the contract of sale must be torn up and replaced by an employment contract. The servants in your family are also  Must be changed to an employment contract. May be signedWell, there are more and more people in the world, how can there be land to continue to divide?  "

    "Wouldn't it be nice to have two hundred years of peace in the world?" Zhao Han said.

    Fei Ruhe sneered: "That's two hundred years of peace in exchange for seizing the gentry's land! How can the gentry be blamed?"

    "What's wrong with a gentry?" Zhao Han slammed the table, "Which gentry in the world dares to say this with a clear conscience!"

    Fei Ruhe hesitated to speak, unable to refute this question.  He has always been very reckless, and today he has said so much, which is already considered an extraordinary performance.

    This guy is not stupid, it's just that he often lacks a muscle, and it can also be said that he is heartless.

    Just like his father, Fei Yinghuan has no heart, but his brain is actually a little scary smart.

    Zhao Han also said: "After the unification of the world, we can open factories and sell goods overseas to earn money from foreign countries. If there is not enough food, we will plant more sweet potatoes and corn. If the land is not enough, we can also immigrate overseas.  As long as the court does not mess up, there are always ways to think about it.”

    "Let me think about it again." Fei Ruhe was upset.

    "Hoo!"

    Zhao Han slapped the table fiercely: "You keep saying that you are going to do something big. But when the thing comes to an end, you are petty. What I want is the world. You only stare at your own one-acre three-point land. Why do you look like you can do big things?  Annan, why is it so difficult to reward you with tens of thousands of acres of land? You have everything in the world, but are you afraid of running out of land? You have to have bait for fishing, and you don’t hang the bait. Do you want to be Mr. Jiang?”

    Fei Ruhe suddenly realized, yes, the world is all there, so are you afraid that there will be no land?

    Zhao Han said again: "You don't hesitate to do great things, you are not afraid of death, but you are afraid of losing your land? Fei Ruhe, you are a person who wants to do great things, not a short-sighted rich man in the countryside!"

    "Bang!"

    Fei Ruhe's face turned red, he kicked the stool over, slapped the table and said, "I'm going to go all out, don't want life, money, land, just want to do great things!"

    After talking about Nima for a long time, the words "do big things" are still effective.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 100 [Master Zhao is here to accept food]

    ,

    It is not known when the Huang family's ancestral house was built, but most of it was expanded in the Zhengde Dynasty.

    Huang's ancestral hall was also built in Zhengde Dynasty.

    The reason is very simple. During the years of Hongzhi and Zhengde, the Huang clan became a high-ranking official!

    The buildings are lavishly built, but in terms of details, they are far inferior to those in wealthy areas.  One is that the Huang family has limited financial resources, and the other is that the level of designers and craftsmen is insufficient.

    Today, Zhao Han ordered the garden to be bulldozed, and a section of the wall was also taken down, connecting it with the flat ground outside the wall, and used it as a training ground for soldiers.  This will completely destroy the layout of the house, making it look more and more nondescript, which will inevitably lose the face of our Master Zhao.

    More than 500 soldiers have all gone home, ready to meet the busy farming.

    Zhao Han sat on the steps under the porch, looking at the empty training ground, feeling even more confused than Fei Ruhe at the moment.

    ?From the eyes of others, Zhao Han is going smoothly, but in fact he encounters setbacks everywhere.

    It is a compromise between ideal and reality, and a difference between theory and practice.  To put it nicely, adapt measures to current and local conditions.  To put it harshly, Zhao Han backed down everywhere, and he couldn't implement many things.

    Let Xiaohong be the head of the Department of Maternity and Children, just to manage the women and children in the town.

    This position is only to stop extreme domestic violence, and it is impossible to manage ordinary domestic violence.  There is also a policy of "prohibition of drowning infants", ordering all widows in the town not to die for their husbands, and providing some limited help to the widows in the town.

    There is almost no control over men, but they are still being talked about, all relying on Zhao Han's prestige to enforce it.

    Zhao Han wanted to unite the owner farmers, but he also made a mess inside and out.

    First of all, the owner-peasants hated Zhao Han.

    They are closely related to Huang Zundao, and they are hardly oppressed and exploited by Master Huang, but they sometimes get relief from Master Huang.  And they have land, facing countless tenant farmers, they are full of superiority.

    Now, Master Huang's relief is gone, and their sense of superiority is gone, and the tenants they look down on are actually allocated land!

    They don't think about it at all, as long as one or two generations pass, the blood relationship will become estranged, and once the descendants encounter natural disasters, the land will be taken away by the big landlord, and they will also be reduced to tenants at that time.

    All they know is that Mr. Zhao is a big villain!

    Secondly, in terms of their attitudes towards owner farmers and small landlords, the tenants also slandered Zhao Han endlessly.

    The tenants feel that those who have land should all kill off the land.  Mr. Zhao is too kind-hearted, he still keeps those bastards, maybe one day he will collude with outsiders for revenge.

    It is difficult to ease the conflict between the two sides.

    The owner farmers are still a little better, and the tenants have already started to attack the small landowners.  They didn't dare to disobey Zhao Han's order, and they didn't dare to directly kill the small landlord to divide the land, but they went to trouble every day, and the small landlord was made very afraid to go out.

    The same is true in the private school, the children of the tenant households gang up to bully the children of the small landlords and self-cultivating farmers.

    This is just a small, remote place. In the future, if we operate in a large place, the conflict may continue to magnify.

    The problem of the army is not obvious yet.

    But if you go to fight in other places, don't say how far away from home, just go to the next village and town, will they kill, rob, or blackmail?

    We must unify our thinking!

    Li Zicheng's "Chuang Wang will not be paid when he comes", no matter whether it can be done or not, it can be regarded as an idea, and it is also a propaganda slogan.

    The peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty also had ideological support, such as that taught by Maitreya.

    Whether it is a slogan or a so-called idea, nothing more than forming a consensus.  Even if it can't be done, even if no one takes it seriously, it must exist!

    The red set cannot be copied, Zhao Han can only find it from the "Book of Rites", and get the idea of ????"the world is in harmony".

    However, does Zhao Han himself believe it?

    If he doesn't even believe it, still want his subordinates to believe it?

    In addition, there are future policy changes, which is also a headache.

    In the early stage of development, violence is necessary, and the landlords must be eliminated, so that the base can be consolidated.  But after it develops, it is impossible to completely push the landlords to the opposite side, otherwise Zhao Han will definitely struggle!

    However, even if Zhao Han made a compromise, he still had to cut off the landlord's flesh, how could the landlord be willing?

    It is impossible to overthrow all the big landlords, mainly because of the problem of execution.

    If the entire province of Jiangxi is occupied, how can there be so many loyal grassroots officials who can completely follow Zhao Han's thinking?  They will definitely deceive the upper and lower, use the guise of Zhao Han to mess around, kill the old landlord, and become the new landlord themselves.

    ?Imperatives, Team Building, Thoughts??? Bite the bullet and go.

    Huang Shunde was dumbfounded from the distance.

    I saw that outside the gate of the town office, there were all people queuing up to collect food.  They came with the newly harvested rice, and instead of paying taxes on their faces, they were all happy. During the waiting period, they talked and laughed, and some even sang pornographic ditties.

    Huang Shunde walked to the food requisition point in a daze, and immediately someone shouted: "Brother Zhaoyi, come quickly and help!"

    Huang Shunde recognized this person, he was just a schoolboy, and he didn't even pass the exam.  Just because he obeyed the rebels, he became the head of the Criminal Section of Wuxing Town.

    "Come on." Huang Shunde replied, and walked over arrogantly.

    There are only two scholars in Wuxing Town, one is the youngest son of Mr. Huang, who is now hiding in the county and dare not come back.  One is the grandson of Huang Erye, who has been killed by the mob.

    Huang Shunde is automatically promoted to the highest degree. He is a child student, and he is proud of the whole town!

    The guy didn't start working immediately, but flipped through the food requisition booklet, and quickly exclaimed: "My family's requisition amount is so much higher!"

    The section chief who was born as a schoolboy smiled and said: "The mayor said that if the young men do not go out to practice group bravery, the whole family will be taxed according to the old rules."

    Huang Shunde's heart was dripping with blood, and he asked: "If there is a strong man now, is there still time?"

    "I don't know, you have to ask the mayor." The head of the school boy said with a smile, gloating in his words.

    Huang Shunde immediately ran into the office and was summoned smoothly.  He didn't dare to be negligent, and bowed politely: "Mayor Zhao, my family is now producing strong men practicing bravery, can this year's summer grain be treated equally?"

    "Okay, as long as there are strong men training soldiers, then we are all on our own." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    After Huang Shunde resigned, he frantically ran home and asked his brother to join the army as soon as possible.

    I don't care about being a thief.

    Anyway, he is only a boy, and the imperial court does not give him preferential treatment, and he has no hope of getting a name in the exam. It is better to pay less food and get benefits now.

    In the past years, the government has been collecting collections, and the summer grain that has not been collected for several months can now be settled in a few days.

    Moreover, it was the farmers who took the initiative to pay for the grain and took the initiative to pick the grain to the town hall!

    ? His elder brother joined the army, and he worked as a temporary worker in the public office. The family paid less land tax than before. Huang Shunde quickly reversed his concept.

    Anyway, if you have already followed the thief, it is better to follow it thoroughly.

    "Do you want to be an official?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

    Huang Shunde said in a righteous speech: "Wansheng is not greedy for high-ranking officials and rich salary, but because he admires the majesty of the mayor. Nowadays, corrupt officials are rampant and dirty officials are everywhere, but the mayor is honest and loves the people. The matter of paying food makes Wansheng amazed, and he is willing to drive for the mayor  effective!"

    "Haha, then I will appoint you as the head of the Wuxing Township's regiment and brave battalion." Zhao Han accepted it on the spot.

    Huang Shunde's complexion changed, and he hurriedly bowed to cover it up: "The mayor thinks highly of him, and Wansheng will definitely do his best to repay his great kindness!"

    Huang Shunde wanted to be a civilian, so that it would be convenient for officers and soldiers to surrender in the future.

    However, Zhao Han was given a military post, and it was a very important post. I am afraid that he will be included in the list of major rebels by the government.

    Moreover, this guy is from a self-cultivated farmer and is not recognized by the tenants. If he is corrupt, it will be easily exposed, but it is more useful than the one from the tenant.

    Zhao Han said: "Since you are in the army, you should be called by your military rank. I am the captain of the regiment brave battalion. You can call me the captain or the chief. Don't call me the mayor and the master."

    "Thank you, Chief!" Huang Shunde quickly changed his words.

 Body 101 [Drama Performance and Complaint Conference]

    Huang Shunde helped his mother and took the whole family to the threshing ground. The old father refused to be a thief and chose to stay at home alone to guard the gate.

    Parents, elder brother, sister-in-law, younger brother, sister-in-law, himself and his wife, plus nephew over 12 years old, there are exactly nine people in the family.  If another child grows up to 12 years old, it will meet Zhao Han's compulsory family separation standard.

    This is also what Huang Shunde is dissatisfied with. Forcing others to divide their families and properties does not conform to Confucianism or moral customs.

    Alas, the situation is stronger than people, if you don't follow the thief, you will be finished.

    Even if Zhao Han didn't do anything, the former tenants would probably bully them to death!

    There are already many villagers sitting in the threshing ground, all of whom are ordered to watch the drama.  One village after another, the performance goes slowly, and each time the audience is hundreds of people, no matter how many, the actors can't hear what they say.

    Huang Shunde's family came to the threshing ground, but did not receive any good looks.

    In the past, these low-skinned tenants would have rushed over to call "Mr. Huang", and bowed their heads to say hello to him as a boy.

    Huang Shunde would rather pay more taxes to the government as before, at least to live a decent life.

    His eldest brother, Huang Shungong, thinks it is better now.

    Although the owner farmers did not get the land, they were also beneficiaries.  Pay less land tax, no fire consumption, no miscellaneous stalls, no service money, and you can keep several stones of grain at home!

    If his father and younger brother hadn't stopped him, Huang Shungong would have taken refuge in Zhao Han long ago, and he was the one who did the most to farm the family.

    The complexity of reality lies here. In the same family, one mother and two brothers, the elder brother is willing to support Zhao Han, but the younger brother hates Zhao Han from the bottom of his heart.

    In the middle of the threshing floor, there is a temporary stage, and the whole village sits around the stage.

    Huang Shunde's family came a little later, so they could only sit in the back.  In fact, he was not in the mood to watch the theater, but because the village chief said, what good would it be, so he brought his whole family here.

    After waiting for a while, more and more people gathered.

    Finally, Chen Maosheng stepped onto the stage, cupped his hands and said, "Fathers and folks, I am Chen Maosheng, the deputy mayor. Is this year's harvest good?"

    "good!"

    Men, women, old and children shouted one after another, with happy smiles on their faces. They have never been so happy now.

    Chen Maosheng said again: "Mr. Zhao, Mayor Zhao, I still feel that you are suffering too much. If the land is shared equally, if each person has less than two mu of land, this family will get an extra mu of land! What do you mean? For example, your family  Five people, less than ten mu of land, then Mr. Zhao will give you another mu!"

    "good!"

    "Bodhisattva bless Mr. Zhao!"

    "Master Zhao is a good man!"

    "Master Zhao will live a long life!"

    ""

    Amidst the jubilation, many farmers knelt down directly, although Zhao Han was not present at the moment.

    ? With the agricultural production efficiency of the Ming Dynasty, one mu of the best fields in the south can support one person.  Further subdividing the level, two or three mu and three or four mu of land can support one person.  The dry fields in the north are much weaker, and the output is only half of that in the south, or even less.

    There is a premise for the above data: the government collects land taxes normally, and does not apportion them indiscriminately, do not levy fire consumption indiscriminately, and do not apportion labor indiscriminately.

    Including the barren mountainous land, the total area of ??cultivated land in Wuxing Town is only about 20,000 mu, which is less than five mu per capita (excluding children under the age of 12).

    Moreover, Zhao Han himself occupied 10,000 mu, resulting in less than 2.5 mu of arable land per capita.

    Chen Maosheng waited for everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Someone is going to say that the one with the least land distribution did not contribute to the Landlord fight. Why this time, those who contributed did not get any land, and those who did not contribute have an acre instead."

    Many farmers nodded secretly, they thought so, but the folks in the village couldn't say it clearly.

    Chen Maosheng said with a smile: "Farmers who are allocated an extra mu of land this time, you have to work hard. We have more than 500 junior soldiers. The shoes wear out quickly during drills. Now there are straw poles everywhere. You have to make straw sandals for the junior soldiers! Drilling  During this period, one person from each household will take turns washing, sewing, and mending for your children! Also, Mr. Zhao plans to open a nursing home to support the orphans, widows, and disabled in the village. You have to take turns to carry water, firewood, and sweep the floor for the nursing home.  .Is this good?"

    "good!"

    In exchange for an acre of land, it is definitely worth doing these things.

    And the farmers who failed to allocate additional land felt a little more balanced in their hearts.

    Chen Maosheng announced again: "Mr. Zhao also said that he just arrived this year, and he sincerely wants to be friends with everyone. He thinks that everyone has worked hard, and the rent of all the land that is cultivated will be reduced by half! Those who have paid the rent can go tomorrow.  get back rentsp; Mr. Zhao outwitted Mr. Huang and led the tenants to rebel.  The hero and heroine meet again, and under the auspices of Mr. Zhao, they get married and become husband and wife.

    The long-term depression was released, and the villagers stood up and cheered, with cheers one after another.

    Although he didn't perform in Shanghuang Village today, Huang Yao was invited to watch the show.

    He didn't finish reading at all, so he quietly hid by the side of the threshing field, covering his mouth and crying silently.  Although his experience was only slightly similar to "The White-haired Girl", he felt that he was playing himself, and his childhood sweetheart also died tragically in the Huang family.

    I don't know when, the newlywed wife came behind him and shed tears with Huang Yao without saying a word.

    On the stage, the performance of "The White-haired Girl" has ended, and the next part is the complaining meeting.

    Jiang Dashan was the first to come on stage: "I am a person with a foreign surname, and I suffer more than many of you. Mr. Huang Huang Zundao specializes in bullying people with a foreign surname. My ancestors also had land, which was occupied by Huang Zundao's ancestors. The rent paid by people with a foreign surname  The most important thing is that the benefits are invisible, and all the bad things are involved. Escorting food is a hard job, and I bring my own food, and I take the food to the county. Corrupt officials always find fault, and deliberately throw out the food, saying that the food I am holding is not packed.  If it is full, we will have to make up for the shortfall by ourselves.”

    "If the Huang family's ancestral hall, ancestral house, and water canals need to be repaired, I will take part every time. No wages, no rations are given, and they will be beaten if they do not do well. There was a severe drought more than ten years ago, and Huang Zundao sent his slaves to remind them  Rent, robbed my family of food, my father, my brother and sister-in-law were all starved to death"

    As he spoke, Jiang Dashan began to cry, unable to continue talking at all.

    Chen Maosheng asked him to step down and asked: "Who else wants to complain, come up and open up and say, we are all miserable people, don't hold back and feel uncomfortable."

    "Let me say it!"

    This time it was not childcare. An old farmer rushed onto the stage and began to tell his miserable experience.

    Huang Shunde was startled and became silent at the same time.  He studied hard since he was a child. Later, the number of people in his family increased, and his life gradually became difficult.  And he himself had no hope in the imperial examination. He started to learn farming in his twenties, and he didn't care much about the lives of the villagers.

    Until now, Huang Shunde didn't know that his cousin had done so many bad things.

    Such a big landlord, should he kill Fentian?

    Huang Shunde's thinking became confused. He is a scholar, and he doesn't suffer much. He still retains a trace of the pursuit of a scholar in his heart.

    "Mother, did uncle really do all these bad things?" Huang Shunde asked in a low voice.

    Mother Huang sighed: "Oh, everyone is dead, so don't ask more questions."

    That is true.

    Huang Shunde didn't know what to say, so he stood there in a daze, listening to the villagers come to the stage to complain.

    (Thank you for the reward from the leader of the friend whose past has become smoke, who has changed suddenly, and has two finger patterns who don’t know how to describe the id. I also thank all other book friends for their rewards!) &lt;/div&gt

 Main body 102 [Datong under heaven] (addition for the leader "The tree is like this 12")

    The living room of the Huang family's ancestral house was transformed into a meeting room of the Wuxing Town Hall.

    Today is the founding meeting of the Datong Association.

    There were twelve participants: Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai, Zhang Tieniu, Chen Maosheng, Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, Huang Fei, Huang Fei, Jiang Dashan, Huang Yao, Huang Shun, and Huang Shunfu.

    Huang Shunfu is the head of the schoolboy section. Although he belongs to the family background of the farmers, he is relatively distant from the blood of Mr. Huang.

    Moreover, although his family has a lot of land, they also have a lot of family members, and Zhao Han has forcibly divided the family.

    In Huang Shunfu's view, it doesn't matter if the family is separated or not. The key is to pay less taxes. His family can finally have enough food this year.

    As the first scholar in this town to take the initiative to contribute, and he is very active and conscientious in his work, Zhao Han is of course to be reused, and he is also allowed to participate in the founding meeting of the Datong Association.

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "Have you all watched "The White-haired Girl"?"

    "Look." Everyone nodded.

    "How would you rate this play?" Zhao Han asked again.

    "It's not as good as the Yiyang opera," Fei Ruhe spoke first, and then added, "I saw that the villagers were filled with righteous indignation. This opera was performed for them, and it must have reached their hearts."

    Huang Yao said with emotion: "The acting is so real, I can't bear to watch it every time."

    Xiao Cui said: "When I was rehearsing, I cried during the performance."

    Fei Chun lamented: "Can someone else play Huang Shiren? In the next few scenes, if there is no Tuan Yongying standing guard, I am afraid that I will be beaten every time I play it."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Everyone laughed loudly, even Pang Chunlai couldn't stop laughing.

    Fortunately, during the performance, he wore a fake beard and a hat, otherwise Fei Chun would be beaten when he went out!

    Although Pang Chunlai always wanted to rebel, his rebellious thoughts were very traditional.  It's nothing more than making friends with the rich gentry, making friends with all kinds of religions and nine streams, waiting for the changes in the world, and taking the opportunity to rise up.

    Until now, Pang Chunlai was gradually influenced by Zhao Han, and began to accept the bottom line of reform.

    Pang Chunlai said: "The drama is very good, and ordinary people can understand it at a glance. First perform "The White-haired Girl", and then hold a complaint meeting, and the people's emotions will be mobilized. If the government dares to send troops, the people will not agree.  They don’t want to live the hard life of the past. The old man thinks that from now on, whenever he goes to a place, he will first divide the land for the farmers, then perform "The White-haired Girl", and then hold a complaint meeting. After the complaint meeting, immediately recruit soldiers and horses, and the people will definitely join the army enthusiastically.  !"

    "Mr. Pang is well said!" Zhao Han took the lead in applauding.

    "Crack, clap, clap!"

    Others also applauded. They already knew that Pang Chunlai was Zhao Han's teacher.

    Zhao Han said suddenly: "Yanchu, come and read the general chapter of the Datong Association."

    Huang Shunfu was very excited when he was called by Zhao Han alone, and quickly stood up and recited: "On the journey of the great road, the world is for the public Therefore, the outdoors are not closed, which is called Great Harmony."

    Zhao Han asked everyone: "Can you all understand?"

    Those who have read the book nod, those who have not read the book nod and shake their heads, probably understand a small part.

    Zhao Han ordered: "Yanchu, please use common sayings for everyone."

    There is a translation in the general chapter, and it is the translation of Zhao Han's private goods. Huang Shunfu read it accordingly:

    "The greatest truth in the world is to have a public heart. The world belongs to the people of the world. The court is the court of the emperor, the court of officials, the court of landlords, the court of craftsmen, the court of peasants, and the court of thousands of people.  The imperial court of thousands of hardworking people"

    "Since it is our court, when selecting officials to do things, you should choose good people to be officials, and you should choose capable officials."

    "The imperial court and the government should be trustworthy, treat the common people kindly, and not only know how to exploit the common people all day long."

    "The government and the common people, and the common people and the common people, should be as close as one family. You should love your own parents and your own children, and you should also love other people's parents and other people's children."

    "Old people should enjoy their old age in peace. When people are old and can't work, they should have food and clothing, and have children to die with filial piety. Young people should have land farming, work, work, and books. Those who are more capable should have  Let them become officials and govern the world better. Children need someone to raise them, and let them grow up in the right way."

    "Old people without children, widows without husbands, and orphans without parents, the government should help them, and the neighbors should also help them."

    "When a man grows up, he can marry a wife and find a job. When a woman grows up, she can marry a good family."

    "Wealth, money and food, you earn it yourself, don't be jealous of others, don't waste extravagance, don't want it if it's not your own. OthersHan began to announce again: "Now we have three sets of teams, Datong Association, Wuxing Town, and Tuanyongying. The main officials of Wuxing Township Office must be members of Datonghui. Tuanyongying was renamed Zidibing, and they belong to the common people  My son, the captain and above must be a member of the Datong Association!"

    Pang Chunlai frowned and said: "If the territory grows bigger in the future, Datong will also be in charge of the government and the army? I'm afraid there will be chaos!"

    Zhao Han explained: "Although the Datong Association has internal positions, all members, including me, have no distinction between high and low, and there is no salary to take. The internal duties of the Datong Association have no right to interfere with official and military positions.  Officials follow the duties of the government, and the army follows the duties of the army."

    "Impossible," Pang Chunlai shook his head and said, "You will know when the time comes."

    Zhao Han sighed and said: "If it develops to that point, I will definitely disband the Datong Association."

    Don't worry about this anymore, Zhao Han said directly: "Let's swear to join the club!"

    The swearing-in ceremony has also been changed, and it has to be done in a way that the ancients were willing to accept.

    Put a tablet on the table, without an owner, representing heaven and earth, sages, and all peoples.

    Zhao Han led the crowd, kowtowed to the unowned tablet, bowed nine times, and finally read the oath to the tablet.

    To do great things, you must have a sense of ritual.

    After nine kowtows and one prostration, and the Datong oath shouted, Fei Ruhe, who didn't take it seriously at first, felt his blood boil for no reason.

    It seems that the gods of heaven and earth are watching, and the gods and Buddhas in the world are blessing them, and the rise and fall of the world depends on them.

    ? In the sixth year of Chongzhen, on July 9th, the Datong Association was formally established.

 Text 103 [Do you think I can only repair Tengwang Pavilion?  】

    The maids and women in Zhao Han's family are either homeless or want to stay and work to make money.

    Now there are only four left, and all of them will be replaced with short-term helper contracts.  One was in charge of chopping firewood and cooking, the other was in charge of washing and sweeping, and the other two served tea and water for Zhao Han and Pang Chunlai.

    There were originally more, but they were sent to nursing homes, mainly women.

    ?Zhu Yuanzhang is setting up nursing homes all over the country. If Zhao Han wants to achieve great harmony in the world, how can he not set up nursing homes.

    At present, there are very few widows and lonely people in nursing homes, because the elderly often choose to commit suicide, and the number will gradually increase in the future.

    They didn't just sit idle, they had to do some things within their ability, such as sewing cotton shoes and military uniforms for the soldiers—that is, winter clothes. Zhao Han bought a batch of cotton cloth and cotton, all of which were ordered from merchants.

    Corn and sweet potatoes are also on the horizon. A merchant running the "Jianzhong-Huguang" route promised to bring corn and sweet potato seeds next time.

    At noon, the dinner table.

    Pang Chunlai threw a pamphlet, and then picked up the bowl to eat: "This is changed by Maosheng. Some of your rhetoric will not work in front of the villagers."

    Zhao Han took it over and took a look, and immediately laughed: "It was indeed my negligence."

    After the busy farming season, Zhao Han did not choose to expand, but asked members to promote Datong ideas, so that villagers and soldiers knew what they were going to do.

    After some practice, Chen Maosheng changed the content of the propaganda a lot, removed some high-end things, and changed them all into slang and slang: Datong means to let the common people have enough to eat, and Datong means to keep the common people from being bullied and so on.

    Pang Chunlai suggested: "Maosheng can be transferred to be the head of the Ritual Department, and he will specialize in promoting Datong thought, not to demote him, he is really not suitable to be the deputy mayor. Huang Shunfu is very solid and can be promoted to deputy mayor. What do you think?"  "

    "Yes." Zhao Han nodded in agreement.

    Suddenly, a maid came in and reported: "Sir, Mr. Huang asked for an interview and brought a person from Shangfang Village."

    Xiao Cui was no longer a maid, and was transferred to the Maternity and Children's Department of the Town Hall, where she and Xiao Hong promoted Datong Thought.  That is to go to the door every day, chat with the women, and conduct propaganda among women and children.

    "Ask him to come in," Zhao Han said.

    After a while, Huang Shunde walked into the dining room, followed by a scholar.

    Seeing that Zhao Han was eating, Huang Shunde hesitated and said: "Chief, why don't you wait in the living room first?"

    "No need," Zhao Han said with a smile, "it's noon, haven't you eaten yet? Sit down and eat together. Xiao Zhu, bring me two more sets of bowls and chopsticks."

    Huang Shunde quickly introduced: "Chief, this is a Tongsheng from Shangfang Village, Yang Gui, named Guanju."

    Yang Gui made a bow and said, "Mr. Zhao, late student."

    "It's easy to say, sit down and eat." Zhao Han pulled the two of them to sit down.

    Just as Yang Gui sat down and stood up again, he cupped his hands and said, "I beg Mr. Zhao to be the master and put an end to the chaos in Shangfang Village."

    "Shangfang Village is in chaos again?" Zhao Han asked in surprise.

    ? Shangfang Village is located in the north and west of Wuxing Town. There are many mountains in the village, and the people are very poor.

    After the harvest in the four villages of Wuxing Town, some women returned to their natal families and brought new rice to support their natal families.  It is necessary to brag, saying that every family in Wuxing Town can eat enough, which makes the villagers of Shangfang Village envious.

    So, spontaneous riots.

    Landlords, big and small, were either killed or fled, and farmers in Shangfang Village began to divide their fields.

    Zhao Han was busy doing ideological propaganda work, and had no time to take care of the affairs of neighboring villages.  Of course, the main reason is that they are afraid of acting without authorization, which will arouse the resentment of the villagers in Shangfang Village, and regard them as someone who came to seize the land.

    Although Yang Gui was a child, he was a self-cultivator, and his family did not have a few acres of land. This time he escaped a catastrophe.

    "Mr. Zhao," Yang Gui lamented, "after the peasants in Shangfang Village killed the landlord, they fought themselves again when dividing the land."

    "What's going on?" Zhao Han asked.

    Yang Gui explained: "There are not many good fields in Shangfang Village, and more than half of them are mountainous land. When dividing the fields, it is impossible to agree on who will divide the good fields and who will divide the poor fields.  He was dissatisfied. The tenant who took the lead in the uprising had selfish motives and distributed all the good land to his relatives and friends. He also occupied a lot of land himself, almost occupying all the upper fields.”

    "I see." Zhao Han immediately understood.

    This is the overthrow of the old landlords, and the leaders have suddenly turned into new landlords. It's no wonder that there is no chaos!

    Yang Gui continued: "This morning, unconvinced villagers came to ask for an explanation, but were beaten up. The news spread, and the whole village rioted again, killing and injuring more than 20 people. Now all the leaders are dead, and the group has no leader.  ??A thousand people were sent into the county with banners during the day, and then sneaked out at night, and continued to enter the city with great fanfare the next day.

    For several days in a row, the peasant army was frightened. I really thought he had an army of 30,000.

    Shen Shichang personally ran into the county seat and asked the governor to ask for peace.

    The next day, Xie Xuelong sent troops to attack Zhang Sheng. Before the two sides officially fought, Shen Shichang suddenly attacked Zhang Sheng's lair.

    When Zhang Sheng learned that his old nest was taken over, his military morale collapsed in an instant, and he was killed to death.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, He Zhiyuan hid in the mountains with his confidants.

    Xie Xuelong appointed Shen Shichang as the history of Ruijin County, led the army into the mountains to pursue, and asked Shen Shichang to be the pioneer.

    Shen Shichang went into the mountains for several days, was ambushed by He Zhiyuan and retreated, leaving only dozens of people around him.

    Xie Xuelong immediately withdrew his troops, and chopped off Shen Shichang who had just been recruited on the grounds of fleeing.

    During the ten-month period, one of the three leaders of the field soldiers in Ruijin County was killed in battle, the other was killed, and the other hid in the mountains and did not dare to come out.

    Xie Xuelong, who has been repairing Tengwang Pavilion for a year, has a reputation that frightens the entire southern Jiangxi region, and even the eunuchs will give him three points of face.

    The landlords of Ruijin have a hard time, and they would rather the governor not come.

    The "30,000 army" fought so bravely that even Xie Xuelong couldn't hold it down. They robbed half of Ruijin into white land, and removed most of the surplus grain from the landlord's house.

    Just when Mr. Xie Xuelong returned to Nanchang, news suddenly came from Luling County.

    Half of Luling County, riots broke out one after another, following the example of Wuxing Town, killing landlords and dividing land!  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 104 [Two Left Talents]

    Ji'an Mansion.

    Xie Xuelong put down a secret letter, tried to restrain himself but couldn't hold back, and cursed: "The eunuch is hateful!"

    Staff Li Zongxue couldn't help asking: "Why is Futai angry?"

    Xie Xuelong handed over the secret letter and explained: "Qianshan tax prison is exploited too much. There are monsters who founded secret sect, and many foolish men and women believe in secret sect. Secret sect has been spread to Fuzhou. The magistrate of Fuzhou wrote a letter to report. Nanfeng County may  The congregation riots!"

    Zhao Han still left Fei's house too early, and didn't know that something serious happened in Qianshan County.

    Zhang Puwei and Ma Liaoyang, two demon Taoists, secretly founded the Tantric Sect in Qianshan Mountain, and landless farmers and tenants continued to join.

    Eunuchs collected taxes wantonly in Qianshan County, and the losses were passed on to farmers and craftsmen, which led to a sudden surge in the number of followers of Tantric Buddhism.  Moreover, it has been spread to other states and counties, and even spread to Fuzhou by several disciples.

    Jiang Yi and Zhou Ba were preaching in Nanfeng County, and they gathered at the foot of Junfeng Mountain not long ago.

    The countryside near Fengshan Mountain has been occupied by Mitan believers.  Qiu Chun, who the two were in contact with, was also a demon, occupying the villages and towns around Yunshihu.

    ?They killed the landlords and did not pay taxes to the court, only they did not openly rebel. The situation is similar to that of Zhao Han.

    "Futai, monsters are a big deal, they should not be underestimated, they should be wiped out immediately!" Li Zongxue suggested.

    Xie Xuelong had a terrible headache and sighed: "Pingxiang County, there is also a civil disturbance."

    "Pingxiang is also in chaos?" Li Zongxue was shocked.

    Xie Xuelong said: "Tian Younian, the magistrate of Yuanzhou, is considered a soldier. Without the permission of the imperial court, he set up a camp at Huanghua Bridge and sent soldiers to block the throat of Xichu. Tian Younian wrote, begging me to dispatch troops quickly  Suppression, if the Huanghua Bridge is broken by the rioters, it will be difficult to clear it up in the future, and the rioters can flee to Huguang at any time."

    Li Zongxue was silent, not knowing what to say.

    Although the mob in Ruijin was defeated, one of them fled into the mountains, and it is estimated that they will come out to make trouble again in winter.

    Halfway there, there was another large-scale riot in Luling County.

    Xie Xuelong hurried back to Ji'an, and was about to plan to quell the chaos, when the demons rebelled again in Qianshan and Nanfeng.

    There is also news of peasant uprisings in Pingxiang, which is the real throat, the military and commercial artery connecting central Jiangxi and Hunan!

    Civil unrest is everywhere, which route should be suppressed first?

    Xie Xuelong is actually a great man. In history, he had no regular army under him, but he wiped out all the Jiangxi rebels.  What's more, it's not just the above. Later, there was a riot around Poyang Lake, which was also quelled by Xie Xuelong.

    It's a pity that I met the small court of Nanming and got involved in endless party disputes.

    Dismissed from office to live idle, sell property, donate military funds.

    The city of Nanjing was broken, and he threw himself into the river to die for his country.

    Xie Xuelong spent a year slowly building Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, wanting to leave a name in history is only one of them, the deeper intention is to clear up the relationship network of gentry.

    Otherwise, where would he get the money to suppress the bandits?

    "Master, there is a Zuo Xiucai outside asking to see you."

    "Bring him in!"

    A scholar dressed in noble style walked in with a scabbard hanging from his waist, and the long sword was taken away.  He cupped his hands and bowed: "Late student Zuo Xiaocheng, I pay my respects to Mr. Shi Fan."

    The Zuo family belonged to a large family in Jiangxi, Xie Xuelong was inconvenient to be negligent, and greeted him with a smile: "A talented person, he is a pillar, and he is worthy of being a disciple of the Zuo family."

    Zuo Xiaocheng cut to the chase and said, "Wansheng went to Huangjia Town, but now the rebels have renamed it Wuxing Town."

    "Oh, sit down and talk." Xie Xuelong immediately paid attention.

    Zuo Xiaocheng sat down and said: "Mobs spread across half of Luling County, killing landlords and forcibly dividing the land. But all townships have nothing to fear, and they will jump into the ears of clowns. But Zhao Yan in Xuanhua Township must be wiped out quickly, otherwise it will be declared a crime."  I'm in serious trouble!"

    Xie Xuelong asked: "Then what is so strange about Zhao Yan?"

    Zuo Xiaocheng explained: "It is said that this man was born as a scholar. He founded the Datong Association in Xuanhua Township, taking the meaning of Datong in the world. He killed the landlords, equalized the land, released the servants, lightened the tax, practiced the courage of the group, and even changed the 'township capital system'.  ' is the 'town and village system'."

    "Although this man is a bandit, he doesn't take money for his own use. He donates the land he robbed to Wuxing Town as public property; the money he robbed donates to Datong Association as property."

    "When the land is equalized, it is fair and not favoritism. Foolish men and women are willing to die for them. All the surrounding people are tenants. After killing the landlord, they also voluntarily invite him to divide the land. Now, half of the rebels in Luling County are all  Follow the so-called 'Mr. Zhao'."

    After hearing these words, Xie Xuelong immediately knew that the matter was serious. This is not an ordinary rebel!

    Zuo Xiaocheng took out a few moreXiaoliang is willing to drive away this strategy if the husband can adopt it.  If the husband doesn't accept it, Xiaoliang will leave immediately, and if the way is different, we will not conspire with each other.  "

    "But it's okay to say, I like to talk quickly." Zhao Han thought this person was very interesting:

    ? Zuo Xiaoliang commented: "Mr.'s purpose is originally excellent, and I also strive for the harmony of the world. It is too rough to do something, and it cannot be a long-term solution."

    "You said you can't just kill the landlord and divide the land?" Zhao Han understood.

    Zuo Xiaoliang explained: "The land must be divided, but it is not necessary to kill the landlord directly. Among the landlords, there are also benevolent people, not all of them are bad people."

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "Indeed. What do you think should be done?"

    Zuo Xiaoliang suddenly said in a low voice: "My view is that Mr. Datonghui can mobilize the people. Every time we go to a place, we will first station the army, and then make the people resist the rent and interest. When the landlord can't bear it, the government will come forward and lower the rent."  buy the land and distribute it to the people.”

    Zhao Han asked back: "Where do you have so much money to buy land?"

    Zuo Xiaoliang cupped his hands and said: "There is no need for the government to pay for the redemption, but to redistribute the land to the tenants, and let them pay some grain to the landlord every year, which can be regarded as payment for the land purchase in installments. After ten or eight years of tenancy, the land was bought.  .”

    This method, to put it bluntly, is to put a real knife on the landlord's neck, and then use a soft knife to slowly cut the flesh and let the blood out.

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully, and said: "You can try it, and correct it if the effect is not good. However, the most vicious landlords must be killed soon! Every time you go to a village (about a few villages), at least one of the worst landlords will be killed.  , otherwise the common people would not be willing to follow me.”

    Zuo Xiaoliang was afraid of one size fits all, so he suddenly laughed at this moment, cupped his hands and said: "I am willing to serve the Lord!"&lt;/div&gt

 Text 105 [Actual combat training] (addition for the leader of the "starting point eight million eagle knight chief coach")

    ? Zuo Xiaoliang's decision to join Zhao Han was not hedging his bets.

    Both the Huang family and the Zuo family belong to the Ji'an family.

    The Huang family in Huangjia Town and the Zuo family in Huangba Village are just remote branches of the big clan.

    Zuo Xiaoliang's hometown is in Huangba Village, on the other side of the river from Wuxing Town, and the villagers spontaneously rioted to divide their fields.  At this time, Zhao Han had already taken over, and Zuo Xiaoliang was so poor that he only had a few acres of land left, so he escaped the catastrophe.

    As for Zuo Xiaocheng, who defected to the governor, his hometown is Yongyang Town.

    It belongs to the front line, and the west, north and south sides have all been occupied by mobs.  Because of the prosperity of business and the relatively fertile land in Yongyang Town, the farmers can live on for the time being, so there has been no killing of landlords.

    However, the gentry were still afraid, and quietly summoned their clansmen and domestic slaves to train soldiers, always on guard against peasants who would rise up.

    ? Zuo Xiaocheng and Zuo Xiaoliang didn’t know each other at first, until both of them were admitted as scholars, and they knew they were clan brothers just by their names, so their relationship quickly became close.

    When there were successive riots in Xuanhua Township, the two of them were taking the Nanchang Township Examination.

    ?Both the candidates failed the exams. When they returned to their hometown together, they learned about the situation and went to Wuxing Village to investigate the facts.

    After some inquiries, Zuo Xiaocheng was inexplicably horrified, and hurried to Ji'an to see the governor Xie Xuelong.

    ? Zuo Xiaoliang, however, had mixed feelings. He continued to observe Zhao Han's administration, and gradually became convinced by it.

    His family was already very poor, and he couldn’t get enough to eat during the rural examination, so it was Zuo Xiaocheng who gave him some meatloaf.  He was a scholar at the age of sixteen, but he failed in the township examinations again and again, and the imperial court canceled the preferential treatment, which made Zuo Xiaoliang very disappointed.

    Zuo Xiaoliang felt that Zhao Han might succeed!

    "Hoo!"

    Fei Ruhe slapped the knife on the table, sat down and said, "Is there going to be a war?"

    "I don't know," Zhao Han said with a headache, "the mobs in the lower reaches are looting the ships, and no merchant ships dare to come over, so the news will naturally not spread. I have already sent the boat to Fucheng, and I hope the mobs won't rob me, otherwise our spies  None of them will come back."

    "It should be fought," Zuo Xiaoliang said suddenly, "My clan brother has already gone to join the governor. He knows what Wuxing Town is like. As long as the governor is not stupid, he will definitely send troops to attack, but he must first fight the mob downstream.  .”

    Fei Ruhe glanced at Zuo Xiaoliang: "Which one is this?"

    Zhao Han said: "Zuo Xiaoliang, with a good character, is a scholar."

    "Heh, finally a scholar has defected to him," Fei Ruhe smiled, and asked Zuo Xiaoliang, "Will you lead troops to fight?"

    Zuo Xiaoliang shook his head: "No."

    Fei Ruhe bluntly said: "That is a civil servant, and we are not on the same side."

    Zuo Xiaoliang smiled back and didn't care about this guy.

    Zhao Han said to everyone: "The Li Jiaguai must be captured. The troops will be sent out tomorrow, and the relevant personnel will follow. You go back and make preparations!"

    Lijiaguai is a large village, and even developed into a market town. It is located in Jiziwan of Heshui, and the land is very flat and fertile.  There are mountains to the north, and mountains on the other side of the river, which is the must-attack place for the governor to send troops.

    Now it is occupied by a group of mobs. After killing the landlord, they turned into new landlords and formed gangs to suppress the tenants.

    What's even more disgusting is that these guys use Zhao Han's signboard and keep saying that they follow "Mr.

    If Xie Xuelong led troops to attack, those idiots who occupied Li's abduction would probably go directly to the governor and help the officers and soldiers come to fight Zhao Han.

    The next day, troops were dispatched.

    Eight hundred soldiers marched along the river, and grain and grass were transported in small boats——Zhao Han was too poor to afford large boats for transporting troops, so he had to build some small boats for transporting grain himself.

    Zuo Xiaoliang followed Zhao Han, looking at the army of beggars behind him, he felt very strange emotions in his heart.

    Moso bamboo, yellow bamboo, pot lids, kitchen knives, sickles, scissors Can such a team fight against officers and soldiers?

    However, he is very energetic and energetic, hundreds of times better than the officers and soldiers Zuo Xiaoliang has seen!

    The one named Chen Maosheng, I heard that he used to be an actor.  Walking in front of the team at this moment, leading everyone to sing a little song together, the soldiers laughed happily from time to time.

    Shouldn't marching be solemn and solemn?

    ? Zuo Xiaoliang doesn't know soldiers, and some don't understand the situation. He still needs to slowly integrate into the collective.

    The banner of Zhao Han's coach was carried by a man named Liu Zhu.

    The big flag didn't have any patterns, just a piece of indigo cotton.  This is the color of civilian clothing, because indigo dyeing is cheap and can be worn by traffickers and pawns, and can be used to represent ordinary people.

    The herald is more interesting. It is normal to have a few command flags on the waist.As soon as it gets hot, I forget my soldiers.  "

    The mob, Zhao Han was worried.

    Don't look at the usual practice, but I haven't met officers and soldiers yet. I just beat a group of village tyrants, and each of them shows their true colors!

    Zhao Han no longer cared about these two people, and said to Zuo Xiaoliang: "You follow Chen Maosheng, Fei Chun, Huang Fei, and Huang Fei to learn how to do things. First open the warehouse to release grain, attract villagers to register and make a book, and those who don't register will receive  There is no food. The household registration is completed, and then the land is cleared and divided according to the household registration. Be careful when dividing the land, there are people stealing, raping and cheating. After dividing the land, we will play "The White-haired Girl" again, public trial these bullies, hold a complaint meeting, and preach our  Datong thought."

    "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely learn how to do things." Zuo Xiaoliang was very humble. Although he knew the routine, he still didn't show any impatience.

    Zhao Han said again: "When Li Jiaguai's government affairs are finished, I will personally introduce you to the Datong Association."

    ? Zuo Xiaoliang clasped his fists and said, "We will do our best!"

    At this moment, the spies who were sent to Fucheng came back halfway by boat, and frantically ran to report: "Sir, the officers and soldiers are calling, and there are 60,000 troops. The leaders of many villages and towns ahead invite you to take charge of the overall situation.  Said to join forces to deal with the government's suppression."

    "The 60,000 army of farts," Zhao Han couldn't help complaining, "The governor, the magistrate, and the county magistrate sold their butts together, and they couldn't even get together the food and grass for the 60,000 army!"

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    Everyone laughed happily. They were nervous at first, but they were amused by Zhao Han's words.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 106【It is to change house】

    ,

    ? Sanjiangkou, the confluence of Lushui River and Heshui River.

    This is the place where Xie Xuelong gathers and trains soldiers, and some gentry bring their soldiers to defect one after another.

    Zidi Bing, as the name suggests, is the children of the hometown.

    The tenant farmers are not worthy of being called "children". Most of them are clan members and sons of good families.  Absolutely loyal and will not pass on traitors.

    Today, under Xie Xuelong's command, there are more than 800 soldiers in the guard, more than 500 self-raised soldiers from the countryside, more than 3,200 soldiers from the gentry, and more than 2,000 soldiers who transport luggage.

    Military camp by the river.

    Xie Xuelong sat on the high platform, expressionlessly said: "Come up!"

    More than a dozen soldiers of the army were escorted to the audience, crying for their father and mother, and some of them cursed.

    A military officer hissed and roared: "My surname is Xie. Grandpa is Linjiang Qianhu. To kill me, you need to have official documents from the court. Are you trying to rebel by killing generals without authorization?"

    Xie Xuelong snorted coldly: "When you suppressed the bandits in Ruijin, you would plunder. I have warned you long ago. Now, when you are training to suppress the bandits, you have no reason to lead the troops to insult women from good families. What if I kill you?"  ? Someone, cut this guy down!"

    Seeing the executioner approaching with a knife in hand, the officer began to cry again: "Master Xie, I was wrong, I was wrong, I promise to be obedient, please let me take the blame and make meritorious service!"

    When the knife goes down, the head falls to the ground.

    One after another, more than ten people were beheaded, including four officers.

    Immediately, the whole army was solemn, and no one dared to make noise anymore, listening to Xie Xuelong reiterating the military order again.

    "Futai, Mr. Meng An is here with his disciples." Staff member Li Zongxue stepped on the stage quickly, and whispered to Xie Xuelong.

    Xie Xuelong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and ordered the soldiers to continue to practice, while he rushed to the gate of the barracks.

    "Jiefutai!" Li Banghua cupped his hands, with more than 30 Xiangyong standing behind him.

    Xie Xuelong hastily made a bow: "Mr. Meng An, late student!"

    Li Banghua said with a smile: "A person who is dismissed from office and laid off should not deserve such a big gift."

    Xie Xuelong bowed again and said, "Mr. Meng An, please enter the camp."

    Li Banghua, from Jishui, is next door to Luling County.

    He was also born as a self-cultivating farmer. Back then, father and son went to Beijing to take the exam together.  Wearing only commoner clothes, he didn't even have the money to take a boat, so he walked all the way to the capital.

    Not to mention the previous political achievements, Chongzhen resumed the Ministry of Industry in the first year, and soon became the right servant of the Ministry of War, and was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War because of his decent management of the army.

    Within half a year, Li Banghua reorganized the Beijing camp, recovered tens of thousands of enlisted soldiers, cleared more than a thousand fake soldiers, eliminated tens of thousands of old, weak and disabled soldiers, and selected 10,000 elites for drills.  He also strictly controlled the military horses of the Beijing camp, first reduced his troop horses by one-third, and prohibited officials from occupying military horses privately, and began to rectify the cavalry.

    ?At the same time, the generals of the Beijing camp were inspected, and the treasury of the Beijing camp was cleaned up. After offending countless people, the Beijing camp quickly recovered its combat effectiveness.

    Just at this moment, the Tartars broke through.

    Li Banghua sent 3,000 elite soldiers to guard Tongzhou, and sent 2,000 elite soldiers to reinforce Jizhou. He personally led various ministries to station around the capital.

    This idea is very clear, instead of rigidly defending Beijing, it is to deploy defense lines outside the capital.

    The nonsense happened. Chongzhen suddenly asked Li Banghua to come back, and ordered the elite of the Beijing camp not to go out to fight, but to guard the city of Beijing honestly.  Li Banghua was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood because he didn't even send sentry cavalry and completely cut off the news from the front line.

    In desperation, Li Banghua, Minister of the Ministry of War, could only hide in the city to arrest thieves, arrest spies, suppress rumors, and donate money to make firearms.

    Because during Li Banghua's rectification of the Beijing camp, he offended too many people and cut off countless people's money.  Before the Tartars were repelled, Li Banghua was dismissed from office and returned to Jiangxi to retire.

    Xie Xuelong is already a fierce man, and now that he is the former minister of the Ministry of War, Zhao Han, this little rebel, is really showing great face.

    Fortunately, Wang Siren was transferred to Jiujiang Brigade in October, and he is still on his way to the post, otherwise Wang Siren would probably come to join in the fun.

    All are capable ministers and officials!

    Inviting Li Banghua into the commander's account, Xie Xuelong pointed to the map and said, "Mr. Meng An, Wan Sheng has sent out spies, and the army will be formally dispatched in five days. Go up against the river, with Yongyang Town as the center, go north and south to recover the villages and towns, and eliminate the surrounding rebels."  Rebels, drive these rebels upstream. At that time, the rebels in various villages and towns will join forces. It seems that there are many rebels, but in fact they have their own ideas, and it is easier to defeat them."

    Li Banghua glanced at the map and asked, "Do you have elite soldiers? Those who can withstand long-distance raids."

    Xie Xuelong said: "Before I sent troops to Ruijin, I recruited 500 township warriors in Nanchang, and I have been practicing for several months. Although I can barely be regarded as an elite soldier, I am afraid that I willsp; Immediately arranged a division of labor, the civil servants went to organize the people, and the political workers also followed the publicity, urging the people not to take chances and prepare to flee into the mountains.

    Zhao Han led 800 soldiers in person, ran to the north slope with leggings on, and headed for Meitang Town on the mountain road.

    They can actually take a flatter and closer road, but there are many people along the way, which may expose the marching movement in advance.

    The same is true of Li Banghua's big detour. He was afraid of leaking news by taking a short-cut route, so he went directly to Yongxin County.  by boat.

    Zhao Han's army marched lightly, without any support troops, and each of them only brought dry food for three days.

    Going to Meitang Town, the straight-line distance is 60 miles, but the mountain road is more than 200 miles.

    On the way, when the food was approaching, he killed a landowner in the mountains, and continued to march with a little supply.  Relying on leggings and vigor, he arrived in Meitang Town in four days, and immediately killed the landlord to open a warehouse to release grain.

    What's interesting is that Li Banghua's roundabout surprise soldier also passed here two days ago.

    After messing up Meitang Town, because the boats in the town had been confiscated by the governor long ago, Zhao Han could only pick off the shop door panels and tie them up to make a raft to cross the river.

    After crossing the river, go straight to Fucheng, and there are only more than forty miles left.

 Body 107【Walking the dog】

    At noon, a few miles northwest of Fucheng.

    Zhao Han was marching fast when suddenly a cavalry appeared in front of him.  Seeing them coming, he retreated dozens of steps immediately, but stayed there to observe the situation.

    If the target is exposed, someone must have rushed to Fucheng to report.

    There are not many horses in Jiangxi, and there are water nets everywhere. Riding a horse is far less convenient than taking a boat.

    Being able to send sentry riders out to investigate, it is obvious that the government has become alert!

    "Have a meal!"

    Zhao Han left in no hurry, and ordered eight hundred soldiers to gather for dinner.

    Fei Ruhe gnawed on the pancake, and said worriedly: "We missed our whereabouts, and the gate of Fucheng must be closed."

    Huang Yao also said: "I used to go to the county government with grain deposits, but I was left behind to build the city. The city is very tall and large, with the Gan River on the east, and moats on the south and north sides. There is no moat on the northwest side, but there are hills far away.  If you block it, it will be a depression."

    Jiang Dashan said: "I also went to the county government with my food. If there is no warship, I can only attack the city from the north and south. But outside the city are all street houses. When we pass through the market, the city can quickly close the city."  Door."

    Stealing a city is not so easy to steal, especially a big city near water like Ji'an.

    Even if there are no soldiers to defend, as long as the city gate is closed, you will have to climb the wall for a long time, and you have to get a lot of ladders.

    After filling his stomach, Zhao Han patted his buttocks to stand up, and suddenly said: "Go north!"

    The eight hundred soldiers suddenly turned around. They had just eaten their fill, and their marching speed was very slow, as if they were on an armed outing.

    The sentry cavalry trailed far behind, following all the way until it was getting dark, and then galloped back to Fucheng to report: "My lord, the thieves have gone to the north and west, and they may be fleeing to Anfu County."

    "It's fine if you don't come to Fucheng, it's fine if you don't come to Fucheng!" Xu Fusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, although Anfu County is also under the jurisdiction of his prefect.

    After calming down a little, Xu Fusheng ordered again: "Take a boat and report to the governor. He said there was a group of bandits heading towards Anfu County."

    Zhao Han marched too fast. Although his whereabouts were exposed, no one knew his details. They only knew that he was a bandit in Xuanhua Township.

    In fact, thieves are running around all over the place now

    Yongyang Town.

    Xie Xuelong received reports from various ministries, and his face was very ugly. His initial combat intention had already been declared a failure.

    Except for Zhao Han, he didn't pay attention to the other rebels, so he divided his troops north and south to expel them.  The purpose of driving those unprofessional thieves towards Wuxing Town is to get together big and small rebels.

    At that time, the rebels seem to have many soldiers, but in fact their sources are complicated, and there are bound to be many internal contradictions.

    Moreover, gathering in the direction of Wuxing Town, there are mountains on three sides blocking it, and it is more convenient to catch them all in one go. The worst situation is that the rebels escape into the mountains.

    ?Switching to other leaders of the Peasant Army, if anyone has great prestige, he will definitely gather troops in series to fight against the government together.  The rebels in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces have always done that, because they can't beat officers and soldiers alone.

    But Zhao Han didn't accept the trick. Instead of going out to gather the thieves, he even went missing.

    The bandit leaders in the neighboring towns thought that Zhao Han had led someone away, so they also thought about running away.

    ?The peasant army north of Heshui, dragging their families and their families, crossed the mountains and fled straight to Anfu County.  The peasant army south of Heshui bypassed the mountains and headed to the west of Taihe County.

    Killing the landlord and dividing the land is an act of banditry.

    When the officers and soldiers arrived, the thieves were terrified and turned into two bands of rogues from the north and the south.

    Zhao Han also miscalculated, he wanted those thieves to help him stop the officers and soldiers for a few days.  But others are not stupid, since they can't beat the officers and soldiers, they just play fleeing tactics and go to the neighboring states and counties.

    "What do you think?" Xie Xuelong asked.

    Staff Li Zongxue said: "Fu Shuai, immediately send an order to Anfu and Taihe counties to order the county magistrates to unite with the gentry to recruit village braves to defend the place as soon as possible. Bandits, bandits, don't let them run around, otherwise the bandits will grow bigger and bigger."

    Zuo Xiaocheng said: "Zhao bandits are the serious troubles, but don't care about those rogues, just take a boat and go straight to Huangjia Town!"

    Li Zongxue also suggested: "Break Huangjia Town first, and then go back to chase and kill the bandits. By then, it will be winter, and Anfu County and Taihe County should also have Xiangyong. We will send troops to hunt down and intercept the bandits. Dong will also kill the bandits."  freeze to death."

    Xie Xuelong thought about it for a long time, then decided: "Let's follow this strategy and send troops to Huangjia Town immediately!"

    Others were ordered to do errands, Xie Xuelong sat alone in the handsome tent, with a deep worry in his heart.

    According to the confession of the rebel captives, "Mr. Zhao" refused to?Well These animals are also borrowed from the landlord.

    "What? Back again?"

    Fei Ruhe said depressedly: "We are here, wandering around for several days, I am about to be dizzy! Didn't we go to Anfu County? Why did we go back to Fucheng?"

    "You are dizzy, and the officers and soldiers must be even more dizzy," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Nowadays, the villages and towns around Fucheng are full of rebels. We won't be afraid of showing our whereabouts when we go back."

    Huang Shunde, the commander of the army, muttered: "It is true that you are not afraid of exposing your whereabouts, but there are riots everywhere outside the city, and the city is not heavily defended?"

    "Who said that after returning to Ji'an Mansion, they must go to attack the city?" Zhao Han asked back.

    Huang Yao asked: "Then what shall we fight?"

    "Chaoguan!" Zhao Han laughed loudly, "Chaoguan has a lot of money, and there are also a lot of boats. If you grab the silver, you can slip away by boat."

    Jiang Dashan scratched his head and said, "But when we set off from Wuxing Town, didn't we agree to attack Fucheng?"

    Zhao Han explained: "In this war, you have to adapt to the situation. How can you do whatever you want? We found out and the magistrate closed the city gate, so we can only go to other places. After disrupting the surrounding villages and towns,  The government is very confused. They only know that we are going to Anfu County. I have already asked someone. The shortest way to Anfu County is to take a boat from Lushui River. The governor Xie Xuelong must have been lured to Anfu. At this time,  Let's kill the carbine again, how can the Ji'an mansion bear it?"

    Fei Ruhe also learned the art of war, and he understood: "This is called attacking east and west, and it is also called attacking the enemy unprepared. It is false and true, and false and true. Next time I lead troops, I can do the same."&lt;/div&gt

 Body 108 [Night Raid on Chaoguan] (addition for the lord "Cold Wind")

    Xie Xuelong is very difficult to deal with.

    He traveled all the way by boat, including the 800 guards sent to defend the city. Even if Zhao Han got the news, he couldn't carry out an ambush.

    Moreover, the speed of running by boat is not only fast, but also the speed of obtaining information is several times faster than that of Zhao Han.

    Insufficient mobility, it is controlled by others everywhere.

    Zhao Han had to act, and walked around the north of Ji'an, every time he pretended to go to Anfu County.  He even stunned his own people, so that the soldiers under his command really thought they were going to Anfu County.

    If Xie Xuelong was smart, he would take a short cut by boat and quickly run to Anfu County to wait.

    If Xie Xuelong is a tough guy, or if he is timid and afraid of getting into trouble, he is so frightened that he rushes back to defend Ji'an, then Zhao Han can only admit that he is unlucky.

    I'm not afraid that the governor is smart, but I'm afraid that the governor is too stupid!

    Huang Yao, the captain of the second brigade, played a guest role as a scout at night.  Because this guy runs fast and often goes to Ji'an to beg for food, so he is the best candidate for pathfinding.

    In the small mountain ridge, the whole army is resting.

    Huang Yaohan ran back in the morning and reported in a low voice: "There are soldiers in Chaoguan, and there are quite a few of them."

    Zhao Han asked: "How do you dress and what weapon do you have?"

    Huang Yao said: "They are all real officers and soldiers, and their clothes are different from those of Xiangyong."

    "It seems that Zhifu Xu is very timid, but also very courageous." Zhao Han couldn't help laughing.

    ? In Ji’an, Zhang Yin, the eunuch who set up a banknote privately, did not have the power to collect taxes.

    But as long as the collected money is donated to the chief eunuch in the palace and another sum to the eunuch in charge of Nanchang, no one will dare to report him for taxation indiscriminately.

    Reporting is useless!

    Of course, there are too many Jinshi in Ji'an, countless officials from Ji'an, local gentry have great energy, and eunuchs have to restrain themselves when collecting taxes.

    A few days ago, there was chaos around Ji'an Mansion, and rebels could be seen everywhere.  The eunuch Zhang Yin was a little scared, not only temporarily closed the bank pass, but also ran to Fucheng to escape.

    But I heard that the most powerful bandit has already gone to Anfu County, and the governor also transferred back 800 soldiers from the guards. This dead eunuch immediately became more courageous.

    Zhang Yin ran to find Xu Fusheng, and forcibly took away 750 guard soldiers, leaving only 50 guards for Ji'an Mansion.

    So Chaoguan resumed business, and the eunuchs also moved back to the mansion outside the city.

    night.

    Zhao Han left more than 30 people to guard the livestock and food in the small mountain ridge, while the other soldiers carried dry food and marched lightly in the dark.

    Night blindness?

    Boil water with pine needles to drink, and it will be done in a week.

    The direction of Fucheng is easy to distinguish, especially the south of the city pier, which is brightly lit all night, and the light can be seen from far away.

    The banknotes are closed in the north, mainly because the south is too congested and it is inconvenient to collect taxes on merchant ships.

    Between the eunuch's mansion and Chaoguan, there is a temporary camp, and 750 guard soldiers are inside.

    The location of this camp is very strange, there is no danger at all, and it is purely defended by wooden fences, only for the quick rescue of eunuchs and Chaoguan

    Wu Yong is a military household of the Linjiang Qianhu Office, but until half a year ago, he had never touched a weapon.  He has been carrying a hoe all the time and farming for the master of Qianhu, and his life is worse than that of ordinary tenants.

    A few months ago, the governor asked Qianhu to provide soldiers, and Wu Yong put down his hoe and joined the army.

    At first he was quite scared, but fortunately Governor Xie used his soldiers like a god to easily kill the rebels in Ruijin County.  Wu Yong just waved the flag and shouted, and won a decisive victory, and was taken by the master Qianhu to "collect grain".

    Wu Yong robbed a lot of food and silver in Ruijin County, but unfortunately they belonged to the master of a thousand households, and he only secretly kept a few taels for himself.

    During the body search and inspection, the silver was caught in the eyes, and it was dangerous to get away with it.

    Later, thousands of households were cut down by the governor, and all the looted goods were taken away by the governor.

    Seeing that winter was coming, Wu Yong just wanted to go back to Linjiang Mansion quickly and hand over the money to his mother for safekeeping. He also hoped to save money to marry a wife.

    Alas, when can I go home?

    Wu Yong dozed off against the wooden fence, his upper eyelids knocked his lower eyelids, and he fell asleep unconsciously.

    Watch out?

    Don't talk nonsense, it's so good to sleep, the rebels don't dare to come over.

    I don't know how long he slept, but Wu Yong was suddenly awakened, or he was woken up by the wooden fence.

    Countless rebels pushed down the wooden fence and rushed into the camp just like that. The surrounding sentries were hacked to death.

    "Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat!"

    "Tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tatGo to the city with the eunuch.

    Waiting left and right, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, Wu Yong was trembling all over.

    Zhao Han didn't do it immediately, but escorted the captives onto the boat, took the looted goods and captives, and forced the boatmen to ship them to the lower reaches of the Ganjiang River.

    Five hundred soldiers were left behind and hid in the eunuch's mansion.

    The sky gradually brightened, and Xu Fusheng and Sun Yanghuai stayed up all night.

    The two belonged to brothers and sisters in distress, one magistrate and the other magistrate, if such a big disturbance occurred, just wait for the court to punish them.

    Standing on the city tower, Sun Yanghuai looked at the river and said to himself: "The rebels are gone?"

    "It's time to leave," Xu Fusheng couldn't relax, and said with a sad face, "The rebels are here to grab the money. I guess the eunuchs are in danger. We have caused trouble."

    Sun Yanghuai murmured, "It's better to die a eunuch than to lose the city and land."

    While he was talking, a guard soldier who was soaked all over his body ran to the bottom of the city in embarrassment and shouted: "I am Yue Qianhu's soldier, let me enter the city quickly!"

    "Hang him up!" Xu Fusheng ordered.

    A group of yamen servants held knives and sticks. This person was hung up on the tower by a bamboo basket, and was immediately surrounded by groups.

    "Don't kill me, I'm not a traitor!" The guard panicked.

    Xu Fusheng asked: "How did you survive?"

    The soldiers of the guard knelt down and replied: "Go back to the magistrate, I was not in the camp at that time, and I was sent to watch the night at Chaoguan. As soon as the rebels came, I jumped into the river and swam to the stone steps of Chaoguan. I was soaked in the water  In it, only the head was exposed, it was so dark that the rebels couldn't see it."

    "Open your hands." Sun Yanghuai said suddenly.

    The guard quickly spread his hands, his fingers were wrinkled, and he was soaked in the water for most of the night.

    Xu Fusheng asked again: "Where did the rebels go?"

    The soldiers of the guard said: "The rebels robbed two merchant ships and took away a lot of goods, and sailed to the north."

    Xu Fusheng and Sun Yanghuai looked at each other, and they both breathed a sigh of relief. They were afraid that the rebels would not leave.

    One after another, more than a dozen soldiers from the guard came back. They all fled in the middle of the night and dared to venture back to the city at dawn.  They were hung up on the city tower individually, and after disarming, they were put into the city and guarded separately by the officials.

    Although Xu Fusheng is stupid, but after all, he was born as a Jinshi, so he still has a basic IQ.

    He conducted the interrogation himself, and asked the guards to confront him, and soon confirmed that there was no problem.

    Of course there is no problem, because they are all true, and the fake ones haven't come out yet.

    Until mid-morning, a group of guard soldiers ran back from the northwest hill, and even supported the eunuch Zhang Yin.

    "Damn it, let us in quickly, the guardian is injured!"

    Zhao Han supported the eunuch with one hand, leaned on the spear with the other, and shouted arrogantly at the tower.

    Eunuch Zhang Yin was indeed injured. In order to act more realistically, Zhao Hansheng broke his leg.

    (Thanks to the leader of saybyesayhi for the reward, and thanks to all friends for the reward and subscription. It’s the end of the month, ask for a monthly pass, I heard that there will be double at the end of the month.) &lt;/div&gt

 Body 109 [Seizing the City]

    ?Woke up in the middle of the night last night, and another morning, Xu Fusheng was so sleepy that he yawned. He said to the people around him: "I'll go back and catch up on sleep, the rebels won't come again."

    Sun Yanghuai was still a little scared: "Fu Zun, this thief Zhao is extremely treacherous, I'm afraid he will kill him."

    Xu Fusheng yawned and pointed to the south of the city pier: "I understand now, Thief Zhao just wanted to snatch the boat, and he even snatched the banknotes by the way."

    Sun Yanghuai looked at the pier, suddenly realized, and said in admiration: "Your Majesty's opinion!"

    "Good regards, Your Majesty!"

    More than a dozen officials next to him began to flatter them one after another.

    Ji'an Fucheng is very strange. Although the city is high and the pool is deep, the area surrounded by the city wall is not large. It was built on the basis of the old city of Tang Dynasty.

    Within the city walls, except for residential buildings, almost all government offices.

    The north of the city is the official residence and county school, the west of the city is the garrison office and warehouse, the south of the city is the Luling county government and school, and the center to the east of the city is under the jurisdiction of the prefect of Ji'an.

    The real quintessence is outside the city, and many dwellings have been built around the city.

    Especially in the area from the south city wall to the wharf, the area is even larger than that of the city. The business is prosperous, the goods are gathered, and various shops are lined up.

    If the inside and outside of the city are considered as a whole, the area inside the city accounts for about two-fifths, while the area outside the city exceeds three-fifths.

    If Zhao Han was looking for money, he didn't need to rob the gate last night, he just robbed the south of the city pier to earn more!

    Therefore, Xu Fusheng was very sure that Zhao Han's goal was to rob the ship, and the robbing of the money pass was just incidental.  At this moment, I am afraid that he has fled far away by boat, and he has gone to that state or county.

    The magistrate and county magistrate had their hearts in mind, and after making some arrangements, they went home to catch up on sleep and rest.

    Just when they passed by the general's office, they suddenly heard a shout from the city: "Zhang Zhenshou is back!"

    The two looked at each other, angry and funny.

    The eunuchs forcibly transferred the guards out of the city, and they were nearly annihilated.  Xu Fusheng and Sun Yanghuai were naturally angry, but they were even more afraid that Zhang Yin would die, and it would be difficult to explain to the eunuch guarding Jiangxi.

    "This eunuch ran fast, but he was not cut down by the rebels." Xu Fusheng sneered.

    Sun Yanghuai was also yawning: "It seems that I still can't sleep, I have to go and welcome this eunuch back to the city, and see if I can get him to say something nice."

    Putting down the baskets on the tower, Zhao Han supported the eunuch and said in a low voice, "If you want to live, don't play tricks."

    Of course Zhang Yin was thinking of cheating, once the city was broken, he would lose his use value, and he was hacked by the rebels?

    Zhao Han patted the eunuch on the back, and whispered in his ear, "After breaking the city, I will kill the magistrate and county magistrate. Not only will I release you, but I will also send you to Nanchang by boat. Remember, losing the city  The loss of land is the responsibility of the magistrates and magistrates. The governor Xie Xuelong raised the bandits’ self-respect, and deliberately transferred his troops to Anfu County, leaving the prefecture to the rebels to take advantage of it! But you Zhang guards, bravely killed the enemy, once defeated the bandits, and died because of it.  Seriously injured."

    Zhang Yin was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed - I'm still useful, I'm still useful, the rebels won't kill me!

    Moreover, not only can he survive, but he can also shift the responsibility to the civil servants.

    After figuring this out, Zhang Yin suddenly had an infinite desire to survive, and started his explosive performance. He shouted in the most arrogant tone: "Grandpa broke his leg, open the city gate quickly, and kill anyone who disobeys!"

    The officials and soldiers guarding the city did not dare to open the door at all, and still put down the baskets.

    Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe's hair was disheveled, and their faces and bodies were covered with dust.  They helped the eunuch to sit in the basket, deliberately lifted the eunuch's broken leg, and slammed it against the edge of the basket.

    "ah!!!"

    The eunuch screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and beads of sweat dripped from his forehead in pain.

    There is no need to act again, and he shouted with a pale face: "Quickly open the city gate, my leg is broken, go find the bonesetter!"

    The defenders of the city looked at each other in blank dismay, and officials rushed here one after another.

    Some officials wanted to open the door, but a few officials did not dare to take the risk, and there was a lot of trouble there.

    Xu Fusheng and Sun Yanghuai came late, seeing that the eunuch did not seem to be fake, otherwise it would be impossible to act so real.  Therefore, Xu Fusheng said: "Open the door and welcome Zhang Zhenshou into the city. Also, invite the best bone setter."

    The city gate opened, Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe helped each other, and dragged the eunuch who was about to faint from the pain to enter.

    After entering the door, everyone was terrified, but even more nervous than outside the city.

    Because except for the city gate of Linjiang, all the other city gates are built with urns.  Zhao Han and the others are in the Urn City right now, if something goes wrongLooting, but also under the banner of rebels.

    Zhao Han immediately ordered: "Ruhe, you take 100 people to the wharf to quell the chaos. Dashan, you take 50 people to occupy the Ji'an government office. Tieniu, you take 50 people to occupy the Luling county government office.  Huang Shun, you lead fifty people to occupy the prefectural warehouse. Li Zheng, you take people to the county school, so that those scholars don't panic. Remember, except for those who take the opportunity to make trouble, you are not allowed to kill casually!"

    Chen Maosheng is currently hiding in the small mountain ridge, responsible for managing food, livestock and political workers.

    Huang Yao took two snatched merchant ships and ran to the north to dock ten miles away, and made an appointment to sail back at noon.

    Zhao Han personally led people to the school, but because he started too quickly, some of the scholars inside hadn't left yet.

    Seeing the rebels coming, the scholars put up their benches and tried their best.

    Zhao Han smiled and took a step forward. Suddenly, some scholars threw off the bench and ran away, and some scholars were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

    "Don't worry, I won't kill people indiscriminately. I've also read the book." Zhao Han laughed.

    The scholars were still in shock, but at last they were not so afraid.

    Zhao Han asked: "How many of you are left?"

    A scholar reminded: "There are still some schools in the county, and there is Bailuzhou Academy in the middle of the river."

    "I forgot about it," Zhao Han smiled, and suddenly ordered, "Come on, surround Bailuzhou Academy, and no boats are allowed to enter or leave!"

    Bailuzhou Academy, together with Bailudong Academy, Ehu Academy, and Yuzhang Academy, are known as the four major academies in Jiangxi, and there must be a few talents there.

    (The book is updated twice a day, and the leader of the next chapter is updated, a total of three updates. In addition, ask for a monthly pass.) &lt;/div&gt

 Body 110 [Scholar in White]

    Zhao Han was successfully taking over the treasury, and Fei Ruhe, who was sent to quell the chaos, encountered an inexplicable attack.

    Many gangsters took advantage of the chaos to rob, Fei Ruhe sent troops to various streets to stop them.  One of the ten-member teams was besieged, and Shi Chang was beaten to the point of bleeding with a stick, and passed out on the spot.

    When Fei Ruhe heard the news, he immediately mobilized troops to mobilize and interrogate the prisoners himself.

    "Who are you?" Fei Ruhe asked with suppressed anger.

    Those guys were dejected and all knelt on the ground, one of them said: "Cows and horses."

    Fei Ruhe was furious, drew his knife and scolded: "If you are not honest, I will send you to be reincarnated as a cow or a horse!"

    Suddenly, a scholar came over and said with a bow: "This general Rong Rong said that the so-called cattle and horses are the people who fight."

    Daxing is spread all over the southern provinces, and the specific names are different. For example, the Nanzhi area is called "mule driver".

    "Who are you?" Fei Ruhe asked.

    The scholar cupped his hands and said: "Luling scholar, Xiao Huan, named Jingming."

    Fei Ruhe also cupped his hands and said, "Zhao Yaonian, the character is Ruhe."

    Xiao Huan said: "General, please lend me fifty soldiers. Within half an hour, the chaos in the south of the city can be completely quelled."

    Fei Ruhe frowned, and said, "If you can't be leveled, I'll level you up!"

    "Dare to issue a military order!" Xiao Huan laughed.

    A small captain, with fifty people, followed Xiao Huan to quell the chaos.

    Xiao Huan ignored scattered rioters along the way, went straight to a house in a street, and ordered: "Break down the door and arrest people!"

    The rattan players held the lid of the pot and knocked on the door in turn, and quickly knocked the courtyard door open.

    The wolf soldiers rushed to open the way, and the spearman quickly followed up, occupying the house in a short while.

    These well-trained soldiers surprised Xiao Huan.  He walked into the courtyard and said to an old man who was caught: "Second Master Liu, hurry up and call your horses back. If you dare to make trouble at this time, are you impatient?"

    Second Master Liu sneered and said, "You, a gentleman in white clothes, have also turned to a thief?"

    Seeing that Master Liu did not cooperate, Xiao Huan said to a rattan player: "Old Cousin, I will lend you your weapon."

    What weapon?

    The bamboo knife used by the bamboo stripper to cut bamboo and cut bamboo strips!

    Xiao Huan was wearing a white Confucian shirt, and he was chopping with a striped knife in his hand.  The boy next to Second Master Liu lost half of his head, and died before he could scream.

    "Little Five!"

    Second Master Liu was frightened and angry, and then roared and cried.

    Xiao Huan said: "I have already killed one of your sons, do you still want me to kill your whole family?"

    Second Master Liu had a grim expression, gritted his teeth and said, "Let me out!"

    "Please." Xiao Huan smiled.

    The old man came to the street and summoned some thugs to issue orders.

    Soon, all the dealers from the three nearby streets came to the house to report, and almost everyone had the looted goods hanging on their bodies.

    "Close the door, kill!"

    With Xiao Huan's order, the gate of the courtyard was immediately closed.

    ? A battle formation composed of wolf soldiers, rattan players, and spearmen rushed towards the gangsters holding various weapons, and the two sides decided the winner in an instant.

    It can be said that the gangsters have no power to fight back.

    Some rattan players took the opportunity to change their weapons, throwing away the sickles and kitchen knives in their hands, and replaced them with the iron waist knives they snatched.

    "Not one left," Xiao Huan pointed at Second Master Liu, "must kill his whole family!"

    The team leader was disobedient: "Mr. Zhao said, don't kill people randomly, tie them all up and take them away."

    Xiao Huan had no choice but to escort the prisoners, including the women and children of Mr. Liu's family, to Fei Ruhe, who was in charge of calming the chaos.

    Immediately afterwards, Xiao Huan led these soldiers to find other leaders of the gang.

    In less than an hour, the riots all subsided, and more than 400 people and their family members were killed or captured.

    Fei Ruhe personally wrote the Anmin Announcement and asked his subordinates to post it in every street. He patted Xiao Huan on the shoulder and said, "That's right, there are rules for doing things. I'll take you to meet the meeting leader."

    "But Mr. Zhao?" Xiao Huan asked.

    Fei Ruhe smiled and said, "That's him."

    "Fix what you want." Xiao Huan cupped his hands.

    Government office.

    Zhao Han pointed to various official documents, and said to a dozen scholars: "Find out all the ones within five years, and I will take them away in a few days."

    Scholars dare not refuse, for fear of being hacked.

    They are all poor scholars, really rich scholars, how come?Leading troops to retreat, the gentry and merchants are no longer frightened, and they will impeach Xie Xuelong together, they just want to get back their merchant ships.  "

    "At that time, there will be no need to fight head-on. Xie Xuelong will have to resign from office and return to power! How many Xie Xuelongs will there be in the world? The next governor will probably not even have the ability to recruit soldiers."

    This scholar has a dirty heart, he is indeed a member of the mixed society!

    Zhao Han asked again: "What do the merchants and gentry around Fucheng think of me?"

    Xiao Huan thought for a while, and replied: "Frightened, wait and see."

    "Explain in detail." Zhao Han said unhappily.

    Xiao Huan explained: "The fear is that they are afraid that they will be killed to divide the land. Wait and see, it is to see what the husband will do next. If the husband only stays in Xuanhua Township, they will not bother to meddle in other things. If the husband does not kill the landlord in the future  Tian, ??and the government is hard to destroy, they may secretly pass the song and choose to cooperate quietly with Mr.

    This analysis is very interesting, and it has a thorough understanding of the landlord's mind.

    Really, as long as their own interests are not harmed, even if the rebels turn the next village upside down, the landlords here are not willing to spend money to train soldiers.

    Once Zhao Han becomes big one day, as long as he doesn't kill landlords randomly, everything he has done can be ignored.

    Li Zicheng killed so ruthlessly, compared with that, Zhao Han's methods are nothing.  But when Li Zicheng came to Beijing, didn't the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty kowtow to welcome him?

    Zhao Han asked, "Who else is in your family?"

    Xiao Huan said: "There is an old mother, a wife and a son."

    "Take them to the army and go back to divide the land with me." Zhao Han laughed.

    This is not only a kindness, but also holding family members as hostages.

    Xiao Huan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir for rewarding the land."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Are you familiar with Bailuzhou Academy?"

    Xiao Huan replied: "After half a year of auditing, I didn't go again because I was short of money."

    Zhao Han stood up and said, "Then come with me and see if the place is worthy of its name."

    (Ask for a monthly pass.) &lt;/div&gt

 Text 111 [Crazy life?  ] (addition for the leader "Ti Boshu Wu")

    ,

    Bailuzhou Academy is located on Jiangxinzhou, and there are ferries to go there.

    Xiao Huan followed Zhao Han to the ferry, and said as he walked, "Mr., if you want to get talents, you don't have to go to Bailuzhou, even if you go, it won't help."

    "Why?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xiao Huan explained: "In Bailuzhou Academy, all the real heroes are juren. Now these juren are on their way to Beijing for the exam, and they won't be back until at least May next year."

    "I was busy rebelling, so I forgot about it," Zhao Han couldn't help laughing at himself, and asked again, "Aren't there any outstanding talents among scholars?"

    Xiao Huan asked back: "Even if there are, are they bound to rebel?"

    "It's true, how can a family member follow a thief?" Zhao Han sighed, "Well, since I'm here, why don't I go and see it, it's the place where Prime Minister Wen (Wen Tianxiang) studied for young people."

    After stepping on the ferry, Zhao Han arrived at Bailuzhou in less than a moment.

    Because Bailuzhou Academy is located in the middle of the river, it was destroyed by floods many times. The academy in front of us was rebuilt in the 19th year of Wanli.

    This is a complex of buildings standing among mountains and rivers.

    Entering from the main entrance, there are three squares facing you, which respectively enshrine the Great Confucianism (Li De), Zhonglie (Li Jie) and famous officials (Li Gong).

    Teachers and students from the tenth district of the school, and those who are still on the continent, were "invited" to come.

    A group of scholars stood there, glaring at Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han ignored them, but bowed to worship the sages of Sanfang, and found Wen Tianxiang's tablet at the place where the ministers were enshrined.

    "Bring a pen and paper!" Zhao Han said.

    The soldiers had been prepared for a long time, and they stepped forward with pens, ink, paper and inkstones in their hands.

    The scholars were extremely indignant at being blocked by the rebels in the academy and could not leave.  Seeing that Zhao Han worshiped the sages of Sanfang, everyone changed their minds a little, and felt that this rebel was not useless.

    At this moment Zhao Han picked up the pen to write, and many scholars were quite curious.

    Putting down the brush, Zhao Han turned around and asked, "Where is the head of Bailuzhou Academy?"

    A young scholar said with a smile: "I went to kill thieves with the governor, and supervised the transportation of grain and grass at Sanjiangkou. Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone can punish them!"

    "That's unlucky, I'll look for him later," Zhao Han was not angry, instead he asked with a smile, "This man is quite bold, where did he come from?"

    Xiao Huan introduced: "Ouyang Zheng, a Juren from Anfu County, was born in Qianjiang, Huguang."

    Zhao Han was a little surprised: "You even know his ancestral home? It seems very famous."

    Xiao Huan explained: "This is a child prodigy, and also a crazy student. He has long been famous in Ji'an. He was admitted as a child prodigy at the age of thirteen, and passed the examination at the age of eighteen. He has not been admitted to Jinshi yet. He should have entered Beijing at this time.  I went to the exam, but I don’t know why I still stay in Ji’an.”

    "What kind of crazy method?" Zhao Han asked.

    "He wrote an article, and I can still recite it," Xiao Huan immediately recited, "I have been an old silverfish all my life, and I don't want to kill Ying Ying on the desk. I regret that the young and true scholars have always been Confucian scholars.  , the party withers and protects the decay, so that it will never change into the past.  It seems absolutely impossible!"

    ?Translated into the vernacular, the general idea is: Confucian scholars are mostly conservative, form cliques for private interests, and have pedantic ideas.  Poems and books are just a stepping stone to becoming an official, and the imperial examination is just for the convenience of making money.  Foreign thieves and internal bandits all use this kind of scholars as an excuse, saying that they were forced to rebel by corrupt and mediocre officials.  There seems to be no real scholars.

    Zhao Han laughed loudly: "This is a true scholar!"

    Xiao Huan immediately poured cold water on Zhao Han: "Sir, this person can't be a thief, the Ouyang family is a local rich family."

    Although Ouyang Zheng's grandfather was only a country gentry and didn't even pass the examination as a scholar, the officials who came to take office were tricked into getting married in various ways.  The eldest son married the daughter of the Ti Xueshi, the second son married the daughter of the inspector censor, and the third son married the daughter of the magistrate.  Ouyang Zheng's father was the fourth son. At that time, he married the daughter of a county magistrate. The county magistrate later participated in politics in Shandong.

    A network of in-laws of officials, gentry, and relatives was formed.

    Zhao Han sent someone to pass the couplet he wrote to Ouyang Zheng, and asked, "Can you still read this word?"

    "There is still righteousness that towers over heaven and earth, and forever remains loyalty to reflect the past and the present," Ouyang Zheng finished reading the couplet, sneered and tore it up directly, "A traitor, is also worthy of inscribing Prime Minister Wen? Prime Minister Wen is like a spring, and he will die with peace!"

    Seeing that the couplet written by Zhao Han was torn up, all the students were horrified, fearing that Zhao Han would kill him on the spot.

    Zhao Han didn't get angry, but asked: "I only started the incident in Huangjia Town, and didn't coerce it everywhere. Why did half of Luling County revolt in just a few months? I came all the way from Meitang Town, only killing a few  notoriety?.

    Xiao Huan pointed at Zhao Han and said in a low voice, "Brother Xianwen, this is the hero, can you believe it?"

    "This is a bandit!" Ouyang Zheng was still stubborn.

    "Pedantic," Xiao Huan said contemptuously, "the current imperial court is already about to collapse. You idiots, how short-sighted, will be crushed to death by the collapsed old buildings sooner or later. In time, my lord will sweep away the universe and rebuild that Langlang  Universe!"

    Ouyang Zheng sneered: "You still want to be the founding prime minister? I'm afraid you will be killed for your meritorious service!"

    Xiao Huanle said, "Don't even think about making any divisive schemes. If you can be a hero in the founding of the country, what if you are punished by the nine clans? At least I have a good reputation. Isn't it a hundred times better than a lawsuit stick?"

    "Crazy rebels! Crazy!" Ouyang Zheng cursed.

    Xiao Huan asked back: "Who in the world is not crazy?"

    Just as the two were talking, there was a commotion outside Nancheng.

    However, Chen Maosheng had already entered the city, and with his political workers, he went door to door to spread the idea of ??Datong, and many unsuspecting domestic slaves eagerly joined the army.

    By the way, beat up the old master

 Body 112 [Zero Casualties, Defeat Thousands of Thieves]

    ,

    There are many prominent families in Ji'an Prefecture, but which surname has the most people?

    Liu Shi.

    Liu Fa, the son of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and King Ding of Changsha, had sixteen sons, one of whom was granted the title of Marquis of Ancheng, who governed Anfu, Yongxin, Taihe and other counties.

    Generation after generation, it has multiplied and spread all over the counties of Ji'an, and even the whole of Jiangxi.

    There are thousands of villages in Ji'an, and the entire village is named Liu!

    At this moment, Chen Maosheng is in the home of a Liu family in Jizhou Tang, the main clan and ancestral house of the rich family. He will definitely not be in the city, because the city simply cannot accommodate him.

    This family is engaged in business, so they moved to the city to settle down, but they also have land in the countryside.

    "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!"

    They thought that Chen Maosheng was here to rob, so they knelt down on the ground.  He even offered to offer goods and food, just to satisfy the appetite of the rebels, hoping that the rebels would not kill people.

    Chen Maosheng said: "Mr. Zhao founded the Datong Association. What is Datong? In the countryside, Datong means that everyone has land to cultivate, everyone has food to eat, and everyone has clothes to wear. There are no farmers in the city, but there are many domestic slaves in the city.  "

    "Datong has no high or low. Gentlemen and merchants are human beings, but servants are not human? Under Mr. Zhao's rule, there are no domestic slaves, and all domestic slaves have been released. We don't want money, we don't want food. Datong is for the poor.  Yes, you quickly bring the bond of sale of the house slaves!"

    Liu Dingzhong stared at these rebels stupidly, thinking for a moment that he had heard wrong.

    The rebels don't want gold, silver, or food, so they come to free the slaves?

    "Hurry up, bring the slave's deed of sale, I'm going to leave the family!" Chen Maosheng scolded angrily.

    Liu Dingzhong trembled in fright, and quickly said, "II'll go get it right away."

    Before the deed of sale came to the scene, Chen Maosheng continued to promote: "Brothers and sisters of domestic slaves, don't be afraid. To tell you the truth, Mr. Zhao was also a domestic slave before"

    "Boom!"

    There was an uproar in the courtyard, and the house slaves were inexplicably shocked. The bandit leader who occupied Fucheng this time was actually a house slave!

    Apart from being shocked, I was also a little excited.

    Chen Maosheng also said: "Mr. Zhao is a domestic slave, I used to be an actor, and we are all sluts. But who in the world is not a slut? Tenants are tenant slaves, farmers are serfs, workers are hired slaves, and soldiers are military slaves. Just  Don’t even those scholars serve as slaves? When you become an official, you are an official slave, and when you take the imperial examination, you are a scholar slave. Who can be more noble than whom?”

    "Those who are willing to go with us will be brothers and sisters in the future. If you want to farm and share the land for you, if you want to do labor to find jobs for you. No one dares to bully you, no one dares to beat or scold you, you are your own masters.  Look at the person behind me, Chen Huai, what did you do before?"

    "actor."

    "Liu Zhenzong, what did you do before?"

    "Hey, I'm the slave of Mr. Liu in Meitang Town."

    "Liu Gao, what did you do before?"

    "I am the slave of Master Liu in Baisha Town."

    "Xiao Zhong, what did you do before?"

    "I am the slave of Master Xiao in Huangqiao Town."

    "Are you all full now?"

    "Eat every meal."

    "Does anyone dare to beat and scold you?"

    "Go to hell!"

    ""

    Looking at the majestic Chen Maosheng and his men, many domestic slaves began to feel envious.

    Whether a domestic slave is doing well or not depends purely on the character of the master, and this is often the most unreliable thing.

    Just take Xu Xiake as an example, he is quite friendly to his domestic slaves, but who else?  One of Xu Xiake's sons was later killed by a domestic slave riot.

    When the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty fought against the Qing Dynasty, countless house slaves rose up. They would rather seek refuge in the Qing Dynasty than overthrow their masters!

    Historically, as soon as the Shaanxi thieves reached Huguang, domestic slaves in various provinces in the south of the Yangtze River rioted one after another.

    Daming is full of gunpowder kegs, which will explode at the slightest spark.

    Finally, Liu Dingzhong found the contract of sale of the house slave, and offered it to Chen Maosheng cautiously.

    Chen Maosheng read the names one by one, and after he finished reading, he asked: "Who else's deeds have not been brought?"

    "I!"

    A house slave stood up: "My body deed is not here."

    Chen Maosheng smiled and said, "Master Liu, you are dishonest."

    "Look, look for it right away, it must be a leak!" Liu Dingzhong said quickly.

    Not long after, a few more identity documents were sent.

    &? Theirs is the Lushui River.

    Tens of thousands of thieves were wiped out in World War I, and the casualties of officers and soldiers were zero.

    "The commander-in-chief employs soldiers like gods, just like Lord Yangming is alive," Zuo Xiaocheng bowed and complimented, "I admire him so much!"

    Xie Xuelong frowned: "Then why hasn't Bandit Zhao shown up yet?"

    Li Zongxue guessed: "I must have noticed the whereabouts of the officers and soldiers and hid in some mountain in fright."

    "If this thief is not eliminated, my heart will not be at ease," Xie Xuelong ordered, "Send more spies to search. Once you find the trace of Zhao thief, even if you enter the mountain, you must go and destroy it quickly!"

    Captured thousands of thieves, Xie Xuelong did not kill indiscriminately.

    He screened out the heads of the thieves and beheaded them, and selected three hundred young men to be the brave men of the country, and the rest were waiting to be sent back for next year's spring plowing.

    Another two days of waiting in Anfu County, the spies rode around on mules and horses, but there was still no news of Zhao Han.

    Xie Xuelong began to become irritable, this situation is really uncomfortable.

    "Urgent military situation, urgent military situation!"

    A fast boat came and stood outside the city and shouted anxiously.

    This person was taken to see the governor, and he knelt down and said: "Commander, the city of Ji'an Prefecture is gone, and all the officials of Ji'an Prefecture and Luling County have died for the country!"

    "What?"

    Xie Xuelong was so shocked that he stood on the spot, and several staff members and generals were also dumbfounded.

    Li Zongxue got up and asked: "There are 800 guards in Fucheng. The city is high and the pond is deep. How could it be captured by rebels?"

    The messenger said with a mournful face: "According to the guard soldiers who escaped, the eunuch Zhang Yin forcibly took 750 people out of the city to defend his Chaoguan and mansion.  All the officials are killed!"

    "The eunuch is hateful! It should be killed, it should be killed!"

    Xie Xuelong was so angry that he trembled all over, he suddenly drew his sword and chopped off a corner of the case.

    There is no way to fight this battle. Once they return to Yuanfu City, the rebels will definitely run away.  If you don't run along the river, you won't be able to pursue it without the cavalry Xie Xuelong.

    His soldiers were too few and lacked training, so he couldn't do a large encirclement even if he wanted to.

    Even if you know that it is useless to return to Fucheng, even if you know that you will be led by the nose by the rebels.  But Xie Xuelong still has to go back, the fall of Fucheng is a serious crime.  Once a huge loss is caused, the gentry will link up with the officials to impeach him, and he, the governor, can be easily imprisoned.

    "Return to Yuanfu City!"

    Xie Xuelong felt very tired and wanted to strangle the eunuch to death with his own hands.

    In Yongxin County far to the west, Li Banghua, who was in charge of the big roundabout, wanted to strangle the county magistrate to death.

 Body 113 [Encounter on a Narrow Road]

    ,

    The director of Yongxin County was cut off, just last month.

    I don't know who did it, anyway, it was a group of bandits, and there seemed to be women among them.

    There are also black servants, holding long sticks with great strength, and their bodies are as black as ink.

    ? This group of bandits came by boat. They first robbed the county government office, and then took the government servants to work as coolies, swaggeringly removing the money and food from the government treasury.  Then he went out of the city to seize several ships, and in broad daylight, the universe was clear, and he left.

    Li Banghua led more than 200 township braves, abandoned the boat and rushed here on foot. The magistrate's first reaction was to close the city gate.

    Anyway, Li Banghua was finally allowed to enter the city, but Xiangyong was ordered to station outside the city.

    This can be regarded as abiding by the rules, guest soldiers are generally not allowed to enter the city.

    However, Li Banghua ordered the magistrate of Yongxin County to send food and collect ships quickly with the order of the governor, but he was dragged on without doing anything.

    There was no grain in the county, and as soon as some autumn grain was collected, it was robbed by bandits.

    The magistrate promised Li Banghua that he would help raise food and grass, but the gentry were all crying for poverty.  Even the boats, only two small boats were recruited, and no one was willing to lend out the big boats.

    "It's too good to deceive our military discipline!"

    Li Banghua was left in the air for several days, and finally couldn't bear it.

    More than two hundred village braves came all the way from Lushui, and there was no crime along the way.  Under Li Banghua's restraint, even the crops were not trampled, and the straw borrowed from the people to make beds would be returned.

    So peaceful, so kind that no one is afraid of them!

    "Clang!"

    The fifty-year-old former minister of the Ministry of War suddenly drew his sword: "Follow me to the pier to grab the boat, don't kill indiscriminately, one boat kills one person to gain power!"

    The township warriors had long held back their anger and rushed to the pier with Li Banghua.

    Li Banghua allocated a number of kills, and only who could kill them.  The other Xiangyongs did not dare to disobey, but tried to vent their anger in different ways, punching and kicking as soon as they rushed onto the boat.

    After robbing the boats, some villagers were left to guard, and Li Banghua personally led troops to the outskirts of the county to grab food.

    The first one to be robbed was Qianhu from Yongxin Shouyu Qianhusuo!

    Then he robbed another landlord, and beheaded more than ten people one after another in order to establish his prestige.

    Li Banghua boarded the boat with food and grass, chose a large ship as the ship, stood at the bow and shouted: "Let's go!"

    In this absurd world, it is really impossible to follow the rules.

    The magistrate stood on the tower, his face pale with fright.  He didn't just procrastinate, but he really had no food to collect, and he couldn't bear to pay for it himself.

    Go down the river and reach Tianhe Town in one day.

    There are big mountains on both sides of the river here, and there is a river running through the middle, and most of the villages and towns are at the foot of the mountains and along the river.

    As night fell, I dared not continue the boat, because the current in this section was turbulent and there were some hidden reefs in the river.

    In order not to disturb the local people, Li Banghua did not choose to stop in the town.  Instead, a little downstream, the big ship was anchored, and the small boat was tied to the big ship, and twenty village braves were sent off the boat to watch, and the rest of the township warriors all stayed on board to rest.

    This gentleman has a very high prestige in Ji'an Mansion. With his own prestige and personal charm, more than two hundred villages have been subdued.

    The military discipline of this miscellaneous army is not much inferior to that of Zhao Han.

    Outside the town, in the mountains.

    Inside a mansion.

    "Fourth Master, the officers and soldiers are here! Several big boats and more than twenty small boats!"

    Fei Yinggong stood up awkwardly, drew his sword and sneered: "You dare to come to die, call the brothers to attack at night."

    Fei Yinggong doesn't have much Datong thought, but his approach is very similar to Zhao Han's.

    This guy first killed the landlord of the town, robbed the landlord's house to live in, and rewarded the landlord's family members as wives to his subordinates.  Even the black buddy Tie Nu was assigned a widow.

    Then he divided the land. He himself was a big landlord, and his subordinates were all small landlords. He also distributed the land to many poor people who became owner farmers.

    Instantly gain a firm foothold in Tianhe Town!

    The terrain here is even more powerful. Both sides are surrounded by rivers and mountains, and the cultivated land is either in the mountains or along the river.  If officers and soldiers come to kill, they can run into the mountains with their legs up, and the transition between offense and defense is easy.

    It was midnight.

    Li Banghua was sleeping in the cabin when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of killing, and saw countless torches lit up on the shore.

    A few of the Xiangyong who were on guard on the bank were hacked to death by the bandits, a few were so frightened that they jumped into the river to escape, and a few quickly fled back to the boat.

    The townspeople were so frightened that they pulled the anchor and cut the rope one after another, and drove the boat to leave this place as soon as possible.

    In the darkness, a big ship ran aground unfortunately, and several small boats were in the rushing river.Fat.

    Do not go back to work again, but the harvest will be delayed!

    And the weather is getting colder and colder, and if it is delayed, it may snow, and people and animals will definitely be frozen to death and frostbite.

    ?Because the officers and soldiers had retreated for many days, Zuo Xiaoliang had brought the villagers back to Huangba Village, which was slightly downstream on the opposite bank.  After making some arrangements, he crossed the river and entered the mountains, and ran to look for Pang Chunlai.

    Together, the two believed that the officers and soldiers would not come again, so all the villagers in Wuxing Town also began to descend the mountain.

    The spies sent by Li Banghua into the mountains happened to collide with the spies sent down by Pang Chunlai.

    The spies on both sides were only ten steps apart, staring at each other, so frightened that they went back to report the enemy's situation.

    "Don't panic!"

    Although Pang Chunlai has bad eyesight, he knows the contours of the terrain.

    He immediately ordered: "We will drag our families with us, as well as food and livestock. We will definitely not be able to outrun the officers and soldiers. Withdraw from the mountain ridge behind and block the food and supplies together as a barrier. Quickly collect stones.  Go ahead, women go too, protect the old, the weak and the livestock!"

    Li Banghua hurried to the mountain with more than 190 brave men, and he was greeted by simple fortifications.

    Sacks and baskets filled with food, as well as wheelbarrows and other supplies, were lined up as barriers against the enemy.  Regardless of men and women, as long as they are strong, they all picked up hoes and poles, and moved many stones to smash down.

    Each family was transferred a young man to serve as a soldier, and Chen Maosheng's missionary team also took some away. The remaining young men were very few, and most of them belonged to the elderly, weak, women and children.

    Pang Chunlai widened his eyes, trying to see the enemy's situation clearly, but only saw some shadows shaking.

    ? Zuo Xiaoliang held up his hoe and shouted to boost morale: "Folks, the dog officer has brought troops here and wants to take away our land and food. Will you agree?"

    "No promise, no promise!"

    The old and the weak, women and children shouted in unison. Although they were afraid in their hearts, they were even more afraid of losing their land and food.

    Moreover, the terrain is also in their favor, and the officers and soldiers can only attack from the front.

    Zuo Xiaoliang shouted again: "Dog Killer!"

    "Kill the dog officer, kill the dog officer!"

    The villagers shouted louder and louder, and even children of a few years old shouted together, as if this was a very interesting thing.

    Li Banghua's complexion was extremely complicated. He was loyal to the emperor and served the country, diligent in government and loved the people, but in the end he was dismissed by the emperor and returned to his hometown, and he was scolded as a dog official when he conquered rebels.

    "Uncle, they are all old and weak, women and children, young and strong at most three or four hundred. They don't have any serious weapons. As long as we soldiers work hard, we can win a battle." Li Banghua's nephew suggested.

    Li Banghua remained silent.

    First, the opponent has a good location and high morale. Can they really win in a single battle?

    Second, most of the opponents are old and weak, women and children, so it is glorious to kill them all?

    After thinking for a long time, Li Banghua said to his nephew: "Go to persuade them to surrender, and say that as long as they submit to the government, the past crimes will be forgotten."

    The nephew immediately climbed up the slope, and before he could speak, several stones the size of his head rolled down.

 Body 114 [Winner wins] (addition for leader "Neven Moore")

    ?There are three Jinshi in one school, two prime ministers across the river, three champions in five miles, two ministers in a hundred steps, nine ministers in ten miles, nine sons and ten governors.

    The above few sentences are referring to Jishui County, where the number of Jinshi ranks first in the country.

    The Li family of Gu Village is just one surname for each village.  If counting posthumous gifts, there have been eleven ministers in the past few decades alone.

    Of course, the current number of ministers remains at eight.  He had to wait until no one was available in the imperial court, and Chongzhen had to restore Li Banghua, before his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather would be granted titles or posthumous titles.

    In the morning, he was Tian Shelang, and in the evening, he went to the Tianzitang.

    These words couldn't be more appropriate when applied to Li Banghua.  He really had a poor family. When his grandmother passed away, there was no thin-skinned coffin, so he had to wrap it in straw and bury it secretly.

    Seeing that his nephew was scared back by the rolling stone, Li Banghua immediately thought about how to defeat the enemy.

    In order to repay the emperor's favor and eliminate thieves for the country, even the old and weak, women and children have to be killed!

    Li Banghua did not dare to attack by force. He led his troops to block the way down the mountain and sent soldiers to explore other ways up the mountain.

    Both the enemy and ourselves began to confront each other.

    One didn't dare to retreat, the other didn't dare to attack, they just looked at each other like that.

    After a confrontation for a while, Xiang Yong came back and reported: "Uncle, two miles to the right, you can climb up the slope, but there are also rebels guarding the slope."

    There is no way for a surprise attack, so we can only attack head-on.

    "Boys, follow me to kill thieves!" Li Banghua drew his sword out of its sheath and led the crowd to charge in person.

    Pang Chunlai immediately ordered: "Throw rolling stones!"

    Head-sized stones continued to roll down the hillside, and more than a dozen Xiangyong were knocked down one after another.

    It's a pity that the mountain is not steep, and the speed of the stone rolling is not fast.

    Two unlucky ones had their tibias broken, and the others were only crushed on their feet, and those who were knocked down quickly got up.

    "Sisters, dog killer!"

    Xiaohong organized women and children, picked up fist-sized clods and rocks, and threw them at Xiangyong who was charging.

    This thing is actually more lethal than rolling stones. It only hurts the body if it hits the body, but it will definitely bleed if it hits the head.

    Even Li Banghua himself, the dignified former Minister of the Ministry of War, was hit on the head by some village woman, and a big green bump appeared on his forehead.

    The mountain pass is narrow, and there are too many villagers to line up.

    Seeing that the women and children were effective in throwing stones, the villagers who were unable to prepare for the battle in the rear picked up stones and clods and threw them down.

    Xiangyong's first charge was thrown back by the villagers with stones.

    Three thousand people smashed rocks together, and countless small stones flew in the air. The scene was as spectacular as a hail of bullets.

    "Quickly pick up stones, not big ones, just small ones!"

    Xiaohong gave an order, and together with Xiaocui, she led the women and children to pick up stones. The nearby stones had been picked up, and some people simply took off their shoes and threw them down.

    Li Banghua led his troops back down the slope, and he was in a panic.

    Not only did he have a big green bump on his forehead, but he was also hit in the back of the head when he was retreating, with faint blood stains in his hair.

    Some of the township braves were even knocked unconscious by small stones, and it took a lot of effort before they were dragged back by their companions.

    "Win, we won!"

    The villagers cheered loudly, but the village braves were frowning.

    Li Banghua held back his anger and felt a deep sense of frustration. He had never fought such a battle.

    Under normal circumstances, the villagers should be defeated as soon as they charged, but now it was Xiangyong who was repelled.

    Pang Chunlai couldn't help laughing and said: "The official below, those who gain the Tao will help more than those who have lost the way. You don't understand this kind of truth? Come down quickly, and look like you are helping the tyrant."

    Seeing that there were scholars among the rebels, Li Banghua stepped forward a few steps and said in a clear voice: "I am Li Banghua, who is your Excellency?"

    This name surprised Pang Chunlai. He cupped his hands and said, "It turned out to be Li Mengan. I was lucky enough to meet him in Tianjin back then. It's a pity that things are different now."

    Have you seen Tianjin?

    Li Banghua thought carefully, if he saw him in Tianjin, it would be when he was the governor of Tianjin.

    He once vigorously rectified the Tianjin New Army, which once made the Tianjin New Army the strongest army in the Northern Zhili area.

    But the person in front of him seems to have no impression.

    Pang Chunlai smiled and said: "Brother Li, don't think about it again. You were the governor of Tianjin back then, and I was just a small staff member. It is impossible for you to remember me!"

    "May I ask which minister's staff are you?" Li Banghua asked curiously.

    "Hey, I won't say it. If I say it, it will definitely drag the old owner down." Pang Chunlai smiled happily.

    &nbsp; This battle was very funny, one was afraid of the other, and both were afraid of the wolf.

    The main reason is that everyone's troops are not enough, Li Banghua can't divide his troops to guard the ship, and at the moment the ship is lost, he feels very panicked.

    As for Pang Chunlai and Huang Shunfu, although the villagers they led were large, they did not have the slightest degree of training to speak of.  You can still be obedient half a mile away from the enemy, but if you are approached on flat ground, you will definitely collapse in an instant.

    I want to thank Fei Yinggong a lot. The inexplicable night attack last night caused Li Banghua to lose forty people, which is one-sixth of the officers and soldiers.

    Moreover, most of them were not killed, but drowned when the boat hit the rocks at night.

    Otherwise, if Li Banghua stayed in Forty Townships to guard the boat bravely, how could he be afraid of the villagers attacking the boat?

    After tossing and tossing for a long time, Li Banghua finally found his boat downstream and kept his food and grass.

    "Oh, I still haven't kept it." Pang Chunlai could only sigh.

    The villagers can only watch the officers and soldiers leave, and they dare not chase after them. A hand-to-hand battle will inevitably lead to defeat.

    Li Banghua was also extremely depressed. He belonged to a surprise attack from behind, but the bandits had already prepared for it.  Even more speechless, where did Xie Xuelong's main force go?

    As agreed at the beginning, even if the surprise attack fails, you can attack back and forth.

    Now that his teammates have disappeared without a trace, how can he catch him with less than 200 troops?  It's almost as if he was pinched!

    In Wuxing Town, Lijiaguai, and Huangba Village on the opposite bank, bandits appeared everywhere, and even fishing boats dotted the river far away.

    Li Banghua had no choice but to attack all the way, and also divided his troops to guard the ships and food. This battle was impossible to fight.

    In desperation, Li Banghua chose to escape by boat and retreated to Yongyang Town before he dared to dock.

    When I went ashore to inquire, I found out that Xie Xuelong had already withdrawn his troops.

    Li Banghua could only look up to the sky and sigh, and then took a boat to Sanjiangkou, and finally got more detailed military information: Xie Xuelong first went to Lushui to Anfu County, and after defeating tens of thousands of bandits, he came back by boat to rescue Fucheng, because Fucheng had been captured by bandits.

    The city of Ji'an was lost?

    Li Banghua was stunned. He couldn't figure out how Fucheng was captured by the rebels.

    More nonsense is yet to come.

    Li Banghua went to Fucheng by boat, wanting to join Xie Xuelong, passing by Shishan Town, and got the news——Governor Xie Xuelong, the whole army was wiped out!

    (Ask for a monthly pass.) &lt;/div&gt

 Body 115 [Army Expansion and Reorganization]

    ,

    Ji'an Fucheng is not a good place for military training.

    Because it is too prosperous, even the simple peasant soldiers are gradually corrupted by the desires of the city.

    Zhao Han killed five soldiers in one go, one of them was a veteran of Wuxing Town, one was a soldier recruited on the way, and three were recruits recruited in Fucheng.

    Originally, I wanted to let the veterans take the recruits and send them to the south of the city to maintain order.

    Unexpectedly, when three recruits from homeless background told their tragic experiences, the two veterans were filled with righteous indignation.  The five people left the patrolling block without permission, broke into a profiteering business, killed the entire male family of the profiteer, and under the lure of the recruits, raped and humiliated the woman of the family, and then looted the property.

    There are too many military orders violated, and no one can keep them.

    "Execution!"

    At the southern pier of the city, five soldiers lined up, kneeling on the ground waiting to be beheaded.

    Countless residents of Fucheng came to watch the excitement, the splashed blood, and the rolling heads made the timid scream and the daring excited.

    Zhao Han said loudly: "These five people disobeyed military orders, left their posts without authorization, raped, murdered and robbed, and now they are being punished by the public!"

    "good!"

    Some people started to applaud, presumably they were bullied by Zhao Han's soldiers.

    "Come on!"

    Zhao Han gave an order, and more than ten people were brought to the pier.

    Zhao Han said to the onlookers: "These people either don't give money for food, or forcefully buy goods at low prices. They should be punished with military sticks!"

    Originally, according to Zhao Han's intention, he planned to abolish corporal punishment such as military batons, and instead use confinement and punishment for running.  But he gradually discovered that he couldn't suppress it without the baton, so he could only resume some corporal punishment.

    "Crack, clap, clap!"

    The executioner has shown mercy, otherwise dozens of army sticks will kill and maim people on the spot.

    Even so, the soldiers who were beaten with boards couldn't bear it.  Pain is one aspect, and there are also psychological factors. In front of thousands of people, taking off their pants and spanking, it is really embarrassing to grandma's house.

    After the punishment was completed, Zhao Han immediately reorganized the army and promulgated more detailed military laws at the same time.

    A total of nearly 4,000 people were re-selected and re-trained according to the battalion post system during the Jiajing period.

    ?Five people form a team, two teams form a team, three teams form a team, three teams form a whistle, five whistles form a general, and five generals form a battalion.

    Zhao Han led the entire army himself as the commander-in-chief.

    Fei Ruhe was the battalion deputy and general manager, who assisted Zhao Han in commanding the entire army, and personally led 500 members of the Chinese army.

    Jiang Dashan, Huang Yao, Huang Shun, Li Zheng, and Jiang Liang are all generals, each leading 500 people.

    Li Xiangui, a military judge, led the French army of 50 people.

    Chen Maosheng, as a mission officer, led a mission team of 120 people, including prostitutes, turtles and actors.

    He also selected domestic slaves and people from military households to form Zhao Han's personal soldiers "Nuer Army", currently only 92 people.  Zhang Tieniu is the captain of the soldiers, Liu Zhu is the deputy captain of the soldiers, and the banner is the word "slave" written in blood on the white cloth.

    The remaining hundreds of people were organized into a supply team, and Xiao Huan was in charge of logistics.

    In addition, Fei Chun actually supervised the money and food, and Huang Shunde served as the chief bookkeeper (Zhao Han's military secretary).

    Each sentry (about 100 people) must be equipped with a missionary officer, who is responsible for propagating Datong thought, explaining military law and discipline to soldiers, and caring for the lives of ordinary soldiers.  However, the officers must not interfere with the command of operations!

    Except for the troops on duty, all the rest returned to the city for drills, and the generals' office and the city guard battalion were designated as training grounds.

    After several days of practice, the recruits can barely form an array, but unfortunately, a slight movement will cause chaos.

    Why didn't Zhao Han rob money and food from big households outside the city?

    ?Because the entire Ji'an Mansion, the autumn grain delivered by the counties one after another, all the grain is in the Xicheng warehouse, and all the money is in the inner courtyard of the magistrate.  These money and food will not be shipped to the capital until February next year, and now they are all cheaper for Zhao Han.

    The military pay is sufficient and the meals are full. Even though the drills are hard and the military laws are strict, the soldiers are full of energy.

    Whenever there is a break, the missionary officers of each sentry will start to ask for their health.  After getting closer to the soldiers, the missionaries preached military law and various popular ideas of Datong.

    In fact, these missionary officers are also a little confused.

    When the soldiers were training, they listened to Chen Maosheng's lectures.  When the soldiers were resting, they learned what they learned and sold it now, and told the soldiers what they had just learned.

    Sometimes, the mission officer was even confused by the soldiers, and ran to ask Chen Maosheng with a question mark, which made the soldiers at all posts laugh.

    Just when the recruit training was on the right track, Zhao Han suddenly received news that the governor Xie Xuelong had brought the troops.

    Zhao Han immediately stopped training,If thousands of officers and soldiers fight for ten years, don't even think about defeating them.

    It doesn't even take much effort to maintain law and order, because more than 80% of the residents live in various markets outside the city.

    Xie Xuelong also bullied Zhao Han that he didn't have a navy, and all the large merchant ships outside the city ran away, and Zhao Han only grabbed a few large ships.  This guy blocked Fucheng with ships, stationed troops on Bailuzhou, and began to recruit laborers to make siege equipment.

    Then he discovered that blacksmiths and carpenters were in short supply, and Zhao Han had brought them into the city to make weapons.

    Then you can only go to the surrounding towns to recruit!

    The craftsmen and common people were miserable, and each of them was full of resentment. Instead of being bullied by the rebels, they were oppressed by the government.

    There is no money for the government to recruit conscripts. They are all in the nature of service, and they have to bring their own dry food and tools.  Moreover, Xie Xuelong has temporarily cut off the logistics and is sending ships to other state capitals to collect food, and there is currently no extra money and food to pay the laborers.

    The laborers were full of anger, and they were naturally lazy at work, and the speed of manufacturing siege equipment was worrying.

    Xie Xuelong was anxious, so he could only keep urging, and the officials below followed him to urge the work, beating, drinking and cursing were commonplace.

    The gentry merchants who were conscripted into merchant ships urged Xie Xuelong to return the ships as soon as possible. They had to go to other places to do business, and they would lose a lot of money if they were delayed for one more day.

    The eunuch's impeachment memorial is already on its way to the capital.

    These gentry and merchants should not be underestimated, because there are too many Jinshi in Jiangxi, and too many officials in the court.  They started their relationship one after another, and the impeachment memorial floated to the capital like snowflakes.

    In order to exterminate the rebels, Xie Xuelong conscripted food and conscripts, which also made the common people hate it.

    This Governor Xie has already offended eunuchs, gentry, businessmen, and common people!

    Regardless of whether he can take back Fucheng, his official career is definitely over.

    (Thank you for this is a monster, Yanhan Wuxin, for rewarding the leader of Xishigu, thank you all book friends for your support and rewards. In addition, ask for a monthly ticket with the cheek. ?

 Body 116【Farming and Eating】

    "Fu Shuai, demolish the house." Li Zongxue persuaded.

    Xie Xuelong's face was full of distress: "The rebels didn't demolish the house, but the governor actually demolished the house. What kind of official am I?"

    Generally speaking, the defending troops will take the initiative to demolish the houses outside the city, and even burn the woods near the city wall.  This is to make it more difficult for the siege party to obtain materials for making siege equipment, and it also makes it more difficult for the siege party to set up ambushes.

    However, Zhao Han defended the city, but he did not demolish the house, so he wanted to leave it to Xie Xuelong!

    There have been no wars in Ji'an for many years. Even under the city wall, there are many illegal residential buildings.

    If Xie Xuelong wants to attack the city, these houses must be demolished.  Otherwise, if Zhao Han threw the torches down, it would burn a large area, and the offensive and defensive battle would inevitably turn into a barbecue meeting.

    And after the house is demolished, the wood can be used to make siege equipment.

    But does Xie Xuelong really dare to demolish the houses?

    Li Zongxue said: "Fu Shuai, the magistrate and county magistrate are dead. They died for the city and the country. The Fucheng fell, and the court questioned the crime.  , must blame Fu Shuai for all the faults. If you don’t recover Fucheng quickly, dismissal from office and imprisonment will be light!”

    There are several staff members of the governor, but now they have all run away, leaving only one Li Zongxue.

    ?Including Zuo Xiaocheng who defected a few days ago, when he learned that Fucheng had fallen, he immediately disappeared without a trace.

    "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Xie Xuelong was in a dilemma, he really didn't dare to demolish the houses.

    Inside and outside the city, they fell into a state of confrontation.

    When Zhao Han was defending the city, he still had time to train recruits in rotation. Every morning and afternoon, 500 soldiers were dispatched for drills.

    On Xie Xuelong's side, if it weren't for the troops stationed at Bailuzhou, surrounded by the Ganjiang River, it is estimated that Xiangyong has already run away.

    This time is a decisive battle, not an encounter.

    There is no rush for a decisive battle, and both sides are preparing patiently.

    Zhao Han was busy training recruits, and Xie Xuelong was also training.  The governor, while sending people to the neighboring state capital to collect food, also asked the gentry to recruit local bravery, because it was impossible for him to break through the city with the little soldiers in his hand.

    In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

    Hundreds of township braves who had just been recruited mutinied before reaching the river, knocked the officer unconscious in the middle of the night and ran away.

    Immediately afterwards, two of Xie Xuelong's warships also ran away, and Xiangyong from Bailuzhou began to jump into the river to escape.  They knew that there was no hope of attacking the city, and they were unwilling to follow the governor to die, so they reduced their staff by one-eighth in two or three days.

    Facing such a predicament, Xie Xuelong was still calm and dispatched his confidants to prevent the soldiers from fleeing.  At the same time, additional meals were given to the soldiers, and soldiers who performed well were rewarded.

    Deserters still exist, but the momentum has finally been contained.

    Xie Xuelong still had illusions at this time. He had a good relationship with He Yingrui, the chief minister of the left.  It was He Yingrui who was able to successfully recruit troops to Ruijin before, and hoped that this time, he would also be able to increase his troops and food.

    However, as soon as he wrote the letter and sent it out, he suddenly received a secret letter from He Yingrui.

    There are only ten words in the letter: castration, slander, and slander, I hope you will do it yourself.

    Xie Xuelong put down the secret letter, his face was ashen, everything was over.

    This letter clearly stated that the eunuch was going to file a lawsuit, so that Xie Xuelong could make preparations early.  The subtext is, you are dead this time, and I can't help you.

    During the reign of Chongzhen, the emperor kept urging taxes, but only Jiangxi province dared to defy the emperor's order to impose taxes every year.

    What is pressure levy?

    It is that various disasters occur in the local area, and this year's tax will be suppressed to be collected next year.

    Shaanxi and Shanxi are making such a mess, the chief envoys dare not impose levy year after year, but Jiangxi, which is rich and prosperous, dares!

    He Yingrui, as the political envoy of Zuobu in Jiangxi, has been criticized several times by Chongzhen Dianping.  It's not how courageous he is, or how greedy he is, but that Jiangxi's taxes are not collected at all.

    The land has been occupied by the gentry, and there are very few small landlords and self-cultivating farmers. How can the government collect land taxes?

    There is only one family, and there is no other semicolon. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi never collected all taxes in one year.

    Until now, Chongzhen thought that Jiangxi had been suffering from catastrophes year after year

    He Yingrui couldn't add troops to Xie Xuelong, he had to dig out every penny of money and food, and obediently send it to the emperor.  As much as you can send, anyway, if the payment is not complete, Emperor Chongzhen has long been used to it.

    "Oh, let's withdraw our troops." Li Zongxue said.

    Xie Xuelong said with a bitter face: "The rebels are in Fucheng, how can I withdraw my troops? Once I withdraw my troops, I'm afraid I will be executed!"

    Li Zongxue asked back: "Just look at it like this?"

    "That's the only way," Xie Xuelong sighed, "even if there is only: "Jie Jie, you are in vain as an official of the court, and you are not as good as a rebel!"

    Xie Xuelong was also furious, feeling like a clown.

    "Follow me ashore to kill thieves!"

    Zhao Han sent a thousand soldiers out of the city one after another, Xie Xuelong immediately seized the opportunity, he was afraid that Zhao Han would not come out after hiding in the city.

    "Blow the horn!"

    Zhao Han ordered the trumpeter to use the suona to sound the rallying horn.

    He himself led more than a thousand soldiers to guard the city, and all the rest were released from the city to fight a decisive battle with the officers and soldiers.

    Xie Xuelong was afraid that Zhao Han would be hiding in the city, and Zhao Han was also afraid that Xie Xuelong would be hiding in Bailuzhou.

    The two sides seem to have reached a tacit agreement, and collectively gather troops towards the north of the city, unwilling to start a war in the bustling south of the city.

    The strength of Xie Xuelong Uh, it's not easy to calculate.

    ?Because the boat came from Bailuzhou, and in the short distance of the blink of an eye, another boat ran away.

    Especially the recruited civilian husbands, seeing that a war was really going to happen, jumped into the river to escape regardless of the cold water in the river.

    There are also many Chinese military officials who are unwilling to go ashore with the governor, and hide in Bailuzhou Academy and refuse to show their faces.

    Array of both sides.

    The rebel army consisted of 3,000 people, led by Fei Ruhe.

    There are nearly three thousand officers and soldiers, led by Xie Xuelong.

    Both sides have no long-range troops, and they fight purely with infantry, and both use a simplified version of the mandarin duck formation.

    The battle is about to begin, and the missionary officers mixed in the army are constantly doing pre-war mobilization: "Kill the dog officer, everyone will have land to plow, everyone will have clothes to wear, and everyone will have food to eat. If we lose, our fields will be destroyed."  They are about to be snatched away by the government! Brother recruits, if you win this battle, Mr. Zhao will take everyone to divide the land!"

    Xie Xuelong also shouted: "Boys, be loyal to the king and serve the country, defend the hometown, and follow me to kill these rebels!"

    "Boom boom boom boom boom!"

    The drums of war sounded, and the soldiers marched slowly.

    The Chinese troops on both sides did not move, and sent three outposts to fight, and the left and right outposts advanced to stand by.

    What's more nonsense is that neither side dared to go too fast. Once they accelerated, the formation would be chaotic, full of fucking mobs.

    Before the battle, each soldier fled.

    Xie Xuelong immediately dispatched a supervising team to kill the Xiangyong who fled the battle.

    On the side of the rebel army, the law enforcement team stopped them with sticks, and the missionary group yelled frantically: "Old man, if you escape, you will have no farming, and if you escape, you will have a hard life! We have to farm for food!"

    The missionaries kept shouting, chasing after the deserters.

    Shouting and shouting, the escaped soldiers returned one after another, yelling and charging again: "Farm and eat! Farm and eat!"

    "Farm and eat!"

    "Farm and eat!"

    The rebel army chanted collectively, as if possessed by a god, rushing forward completely regardless of life and death.

    Except for the 800 veterans in Wuxing Town, the formation of the rest of the recruits was all chaotic.  No matter what weapon you hold in your hand, you just charge forward anyway, and you have already forgotten the skills you mastered during training.

    Wu Yong, who was born in the guard, has been found out, but Zhao Han did not expel him.

    Because of Wu Yong's many meritorious deeds, he has been promoted to the rank of chief at this moment.

    The old lady in the family can let the brother take care of it first.  He wants to follow Mr. Zhao to the countryside to divide the land. If he meets a widow, he might be able to find a wife.

    Wu Yong always dreamed of owning his own land, and dreamed of finding a wife.

    "Farm and eat, farm and eat!"

    Wu Yong rushed forward with his gun in hand. He forgot to command his ten-man team, and his team members would not listen to the commander's command.

    Anyway, just rush and finish the job!

    Wu Yong even rushed out of the army formation, ran to the front of the wolf soldiers, desperately broke into the enemy formation, and only repeatedly shouted: "Farm to eat, farm to eat!"

    ?The battle was quickly won and lost. The rebel army was not afraid of death, but Xiangyong was hesitant to die.

    Most of these countrymen are from good families. They have fields at home and don’t have to worry about food and clothing. How can they be willing to work hard with mud legs?

    Xie Xuelong's supervisory team couldn't stop him, so the governor could only hold the line in person, leading the Chinese soldiers to charge: "Kill the thieves and serve the country, defend the homeland!"

    "Farm and eat!"

    "Farm and eat!"

    The rebel army shouted even louder, and even the veterans lost their minds and gradually lost their proper formation.

    Of course, there is no need to maintain formation anymore.

    "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~~~~~~"

    "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~~~~~~"

    The sound of suona resounded on the battlefield, and the rebel army became completely fanatical, and even Fei Ruhe's Chinese army charged together.

    Xie Xuelong's Xiangyong has collapsed across the board.

    Xie Xuelong originally wanted to lead the Chinese army to hold down the ground, but at this moment he was scattered by the rout.  His eyes were red, he suddenly drew his sword across his neck, turned to look at the north and said to himself: "Your Majesty, a minister is not responsible for the king, can the king be responsible for the minister?"

    Xie Xuelong, who was supposed to jump into the river in Nanjing to die for his country, committed suicide outside Ji'an more than ten years in advance.

    After learning that Xie Xuelong was defeated and committed suicide, Li Zongxue, a staff member who was far away in Bailuzhou, also resolutely jumped into the Ganjiang River to commit suicide.  He did not die for the country, but followed his benefactor, and the court had no affection for him.  &lt;/div&gt;Crazy, even Fei Ruhe's Chinese army charged together.

 Body 117 [Catch a Wild Shangshu] (addition for the leader "Demon Saber Wanhua")

    Looking at the two corpses in front of him, Zhao Han sighed and said, "Bury it. The dead are the most important, and they will be safe in the earth."

    "Please burial generously!"

    Ouyang Zheng cupped his hands suddenly, and said: "Loyal ministers and righteous men, don't neglect, I will write epitaphs for them."

    Zhao Han sneered: "You think you are noble?"

    Xiao Huan couldn't help but said: "Zongzhen has the world in mind, and such loyal ministers and righteous men should be buried with honor."

    "If you give them a generous burial," Zhao Han pointed to the corpses of Xie Xuelong and Li Zongxue, and then pointed to the remains of the rebel army in the distance, "Should I give all my soldiers a generous burial? Are people with mud legs inferior to officials? I said bury them."  , the dead are the most important, I can't do the thing of exposing corpses to the wilderness!"

    Xiao Huan hesitated to speak, he had gradually figured out Zhao Han's way, and knew that it was useless to persuade him at this time.

    Zhao Han ordered: "Buy ordinary coffins for them, and erect a monument in a serious manner. As for anyone who doesn't like it, he can pay for Fengshui by himself, and relocate the graves of these two people and replace the monuments. I will not obstruct them."

    "I'll pay for it!" Ouyang Zheng said immediately.

    "what ever."

    After Zhao Han finished speaking, he walked away and came to the body of his soldier.

    ?In a large battle involving thousands of people, the rebel army suffered over a hundred casualties, but only six were killed, more than ten were seriously injured, and the rest were all slightly injured.

    Zhao Han announced: "The dead were burned to ashes and brought back to Haosheng for burial. Tomorrow, I will send troops to attack Yongyang Town and change the Xiao's ancestral hall there into the Hall of Heroes. From now on, all soldiers who died in battle will be enshrined in the Hall of Heroes."

    Although cremation was not the mainstream in the Ming Dynasty, it would not be rejected. Officials and merchants who died in other places could be burned into ashes and brought back to their hometown for burial.

    Xiao Huan's complexion is a little strange, although his hometown is not in Yongyang Town, but the Xiao family there is considered to be of the same clan as him.

    In this Luling County, the surname Liu is the most, the surname Wang is the second, the surname Li is the third, and the surname Xiao is the fourth.

    "Do you have an opinion?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

    Xiao Huan said with a smile: "The general town is joking, what can I say? I will keep the Xiao's ancestral hall, and I will not be able to enter it in my life."

    Zhao Han said to the other soldiers: "This time, the seriously injured and disabled will all enter the nursing home and do some work within their ability. Those who died in battle and have no children, if they meet orphans in the future, they can be raised in the nursing home and change their names and surnames.  They spread the incense, and the land will be distributed to their adopted sons!"

    As soon as this remark came out, the soldiers were convinced.

    Xiao Huan even secretly exclaimed, admiring Zhao Han's method of buying people's hearts.

    The land can be divided when you are alive, the disabled can be taken care of, you can enjoy the temple when you die, and you can still pass on incense if you have no children If this is done, why worry about the soldiers?

    Ouyang Zheng stared at Zhao Han, and shouted in his heart: The evildoer of this troubled world!

    "Your name is Wu Yong, right?" Zhao Han walked up to a wounded soldier.

    Wu Yong showed a simple and honest smile: "Back to the main town, I am Wu Yong."

    Zhao Han patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him: "Lead the troops well in the future, don't rush blindly. This time, you will be granted the land first, continue to be the commander, and then you will be promoted next time for meritorious service. Remember, you must learn to write.  Literacy three hundred!"

    "Thank you, Master Zongzhen, for appreciating the fields!" Wu Yong subconsciously wanted to kneel.

    Zhao Han scolded: "Get up, the army is not allowed to bow down!"

    Wu Yong quickly stood up and saluted, with one arm across his chest. This is a military salute invented by Zhao Han.

    Military salutes in the Ming Dynasty can be roughly divided into four types: kneeling directly, bowing hands, bowing hands on both knees, and bowing hands on one knee.

    How to do it depends on each other's military positions and whether they are wearing armor.  If you're wearing armor, it's not convenient to kneel down. You usually kneel on one knee, or stand and clasp your hands.

    Anyway, it was quite chaotic, Zhao Han looked awkward, and changed everything to one arm across his chest.

    Zhao Han walked up to another soldier: "Your name is Wang Biandan?"

    "Hey, I'm Wang Biandan." This guy was very happy, but Mr. Zhao still remembered him.

    Zhao Han encouraged: "You are a soldier in Baisha Town. Our territory will not be able to reach Baisha Town for the time being, but we will be able to go back one day!"

    Wang Biandan was excited when he heard this, and quickly stood up straight to salute.

    Seeing Zhao Han walking slowly, calling out the names of soldiers one after another, the worry on Ouyang Zheng's face became more and more serious.

    This anti-thief leader is a natural general, but unfortunately he cannot be used by the court.

    Zhao Han turned around suddenly: "Captain Xiao, you are in charge of logistics and transportation. You have been very busy these two days. All the confiscated warships were brought back, just in time to transport troops and food."

    "Do you want to pay for the redemption?" Xiao Huan asked.

    "Who did you buy it from?" Zhao Han asked with a smile,??, I have seen countless merchant ships coming and going. A merchant ship with such a shallow draft must be a loss to my grandma's house.

    So suspicious!

    Li Banghua was surrounded by groups, he could bend and stretch, and said humbly: "This military lord, this old man is a merchant from Yongxin County, and he is going to Ji'an to buy goods."

    Zhao Han boarded the ship with his soldiers and asked, "What business do you do?"

    "Buy and sell some paper products." Li Banghua is very familiar with all kinds of paper products, after all, he is a literati.

    Zhao Han questioned: "Are you going to buy goods with an empty ship?"

    Li Banghua suddenly realized that he had exposed himself.  In fact, it is not considered an empty ship, there are still a few stones of grain in the cabin.

    "Catch it!" Zhao Han ordered.

    Li Banghua had no weapons on his body, and his disciples were also hiding in the cabin. There were only two nephews by his side, and he was captured by the rebel army in an instant.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Tell me, what is your background?"

    Li Banghua kept silent.

    Xiao Huan boarded the boat very excitedly: "General Town, this is Mr. Li Mengan, the former minister of the Ministry of War." After finishing speaking, Xiao Huan bowed respectfully, "Wansheng pays respects to Mr. Meng An!"

    Li Banghua didn't say anything, just stood and waited to die, he didn't even bother to scold the rebels.

    Zhao Han didn't know Li Banghua very well, so he asked, "How is this person?"

    Xiao Huan replied: "The talents of the country are the ministers of the country."

    "Then come back with me," Zhao Han said with a smile, "let the other people on board go, and let them go home to report that Mr. Li was invited by me as a guest."

    This unexpected harvest is simply inexplicable.

    (From now to the beginning of next month, the rewarded double monthly ticket is only valid from 8:00 to 24:00, and the reward in the middle of the night is not counted as a double monthly ticket.) &lt;/div&gt

 Body 118【Weak landlord class】

    The landlord of Yongyang Town is really interesting!

    When the tenants in the surrounding villages and towns rebelled spontaneously, the landlords here began to practice Xiangyong.  Hearing that Xie Xuelong was going to suppress the bandits, they immediately sent Xiangyong there.

    Now, with Xie Xuelong defeated, Zhao Han must take Yongyang Town.

    Because this is the southern gate of Ji'an Mansion, if Zhao Han takes Yongyang Town as the ruling center, he can control Yongxin County in the west, Anfu County in the north, Taihe County in the south, and go straight to Fucheng in the east!

    Landlords with a normal mind knew that Zhao Yan was coming to Yongyang Town, but only a few of them packed up their belongings and fled.  Most of them are sitting at home waiting, not knowing what they are waiting for.  Waiting to be killed to divide the land, or waiting for Zhao Han to be kind?

    "Master, the rebels have disembarked!"

    "Explore again!"

    Xiao Wanquan was trembling all over, fidgeting restlessly in the study, a deep fear enveloped his heart.

    "Master, there is a band of rebels coming straight to our village!"

    "What?"

    Xiao Wanquan's legs were weak, so he asked his servant to help him out, and ordered the whole family to be called together.

    When Zhao Han personally led the soldiers to Xiao's house, there was already a kneeling in front of him.

    Zhao Han ignored these guys, but looked up at the "Zhuangyuan Temple".

    This ancestral hall is very interesting. The main entrance and the side entrance are built like three archways.  There are a lot of plaques, and the content is scary enough: champion, second place, Hanlin, Huiyuan, Jieyuan, Huikui, Jingkui, Da Sima, Da Sikou, Dazhongcheng, Xuezhengall were obtained by the ancestors of the Xiao family.  Glory, or the official positions held by the ancestors.

    After looking up at the Zhuangyuan Temple for a while, Zhao Han finally smiled and said: "Are you going to follow the thief?"

    Xiao Wanquan knelt down and kowtowed, then knelt straight and cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Zhao has a heart for all people, and spreads virtuous government. I also heard that Mr. Wen went to Fucheng, but restrained all the people in the autumn without any crime. This is really a righteous teacher, how can he be called a bandit?  ?Although the old man is dull, he also knows what people want or not, and today he is just serving the Ming Lord."

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Han was amused by the old man and asked, "Do you know how I govern?"

    "I heard something about it." Xiao Wanquan's heart beat wildly.

    This guy still has illusions in his heart, thinking that Zhao Han killed the landlord and divided the land, which was a means of gathering people's hearts in the early stage.  Now that the governor is defeated, his power will increase suddenly, and he will probably make friends with the local gentry.

    Zhao Han asked: "Would you like to donate the fields of the Xiao family?"

    As soon as this remark came out, Xiao Wanquan felt desperate, and his illusion was shattered.

    But he couldn't leave this place. There are Xiao's ancestral hall, Xiao's ancestral house, Zhuangyuan Temple, and countless lands of Xiao's.  After leaving, can the Xiao family still be called the Xiao family?

    But if you don't cooperate with the rebels, Xiao's family may be killed!

    Thinking left and right, Xiao Wanquan kowtowed and said: "The Xiao family is willing to donate the family property and serve Mr. Zhao from generation to generation!"

    "Give up all the property?" Zhao Han asked.

    "Give it all!" Xiao Wanquan bit the bullet and said.

    I'll go, this is not easy to handle, Zhao Han feels a little troubled, but he hopes that the Xiao family will rise up to resist.

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Han suddenly laughed heartily, helped Xiao Wanquan up with his own hands, and comforted him: "The old man understands righteousness deeply, how can I disregard human feelings. How about this, the whole Xiao family, above twelve years old, no matter men, women, old or young  , each person can leave 20 mu of land.”

    Only 20 mu for each person?

    Xiao Wanquan was about to cry, and forced a smile to flatter him: "Mr. Zhao is really benevolent, I am so grateful."

    Zhao Han said again: "The Xiao family must divide the family and analyze the property, excluding children, there are no more than ten people in a family."

    Xiao Wanquan almost fainted and wanted to bite Zhao Han to death.

    Once the family is separated, people's hearts will be scattered, and his appeal will be gone.

    Zhao Han asked: "Does the old gentleman disagree?"

    "Yes, I am willing!" Xiao Wanquan said quickly.

    Zhao Han continued: "The Xiao family slaves must all be released. Those who are willing to share the land, I will give them the land. Those who are willing to stay, all will be changed to servant contracts. From now on, don't beat and scold the servants at will."

    Xiao Wanquan has nothing to say, if the land can be divided, how many slaves are willing to stay?

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I am short of talents, Mrs. Xiao can recommend his sons to be officials."

    Xiao Wanquan seemed to be alive again, and he would not be afraid of losing his land if he could be an official.  This traitor made a big fuss, and most likely they will be recruited from now on, and Xiao's disciples will follow suit.  If the rebels really took over the world, wouldn't the Xiao family be the hero of the dragon?

    Xiao Wanquan straightened his back and said: "My Xiao family has one juror, seven scholars, and children.Chongzhen six years, winter.

    Officers and soldiers from all walks of life encircled and suppressed the thieves from the northwest, and the peasant army rushed out of the encirclement of ten routes of officers and soldiers while the Yellow River was frozen.  Conquering Mianchi, Lushi, and Yiyang one after another, the peasant army entered the border of Henan.

    The governor of Henan was intercepted by heavy troops, and the peasant army turned southward, looting Ruzhou, Xichuan, Neixiang, Guanghua, and Nanyang along the way.

    Facing the pursuit of officers and soldiers, the peasant army that had merged suddenly dispersed into several groups.  Not only did they wander around Henan, but they also waited for the five-way thieves in the old Huihui, and even invaded Huguang instead.

    I can't take it anymore!

    Thieves can be seen everywhere in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, Henan, and Huguang.  Even in Beizhili, there are small groups of peasant troops fleeing. How can the imperial court care about Jiangxi?

    Li Banghua and Ouyang Zheng, who were "invited" by Zhao Han, were provided with simple tea and light food. Zhao Han did not meet with them, but only let them observe the administration with the mission team.

    At the same time, Zhao Han captured Ji'an Fucheng, and the news that the governor was defeated and committed suicide quickly spread to the whole of Jiangxi.

    The reputation of "Zhao Yan" is known to everyone, and it is said that he is a giant bandit who kills without batting an eyelid.

    This brought about a series of chain reactions. The Tantric Sect, which was originally developed in the countryside, took the opportunity to gather people to revolt in advance, and the religious uprisings broke out in Qianshan County and Nanfeng County at the same time.

    On the other side of Poyang Lake, the uprising in Duchang County also broke out ahead of schedule, and colluded with the Poyang Lake water bandits.

    If the next governor of Jiangxi is also a capable minister, he won't even bother to conquer Zhao Han.  The government must first wipe out the Duchang rebels. It is so important there. Whether it is from a political, military, or economic point of view, the Duchang rebels must be put down first!

    Tomorrow, it is completely disabled.

 Body 119【Court Hall】

    ,

    Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

    ? Emperor Chongzhen convened the cabinet, six ministries, and six ministers to discuss matters.

    Today's Ming court has entered the era of Wen Tiren, and there are a lot of cabinet ministers: Wen Tiren, Qian Shisheng (Donglin Party), Wu Zongda (Donglin Party), Wang Yingxiong, Wen Zhenmeng, He Wuzou, Zhang Zhifa (Qi Party),  Lin Qiang.

    Originally there was another Xu Guangqi, who unfortunately died of illness a month ago.

    Among these cabinet ministers, everyone must be familiar with Wen Zhenmeng's great-grandfather, that is, Wen Zhengming, one of the four great talents in Jiangnan.

    Lin Qian is also quite awesome. He accepted bribes three years ago and wrote a memorial to his victory.

    What does Zheng Zhilong have to do with Zheng Yiguan being a pirate?

    Zheng Zhilong was whitewashed in an instant!

    In front of him, there are still six ministers who have been summoned to discuss the matter.

    Li Changgeng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was "accepted by the Donglin Party", has gotten very close to the Donglin Party in order to oppose the chief assistant Wen Tiren.

    Hou Xun, Shangshu of the Household Department, Donglin Party, father of Hou Fangyu, the fourth son of the late Ming Dynasty.

    Li Kangxian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is making friends with the Donglin Party and jointly boycotting the chief assistant Wen Tiren.

    Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, was born in the eunuch party, and was not liquidated because of his status as a border minister.

    Hu Yingtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was born in the Chu Party, and once transported 24 artillery pieces to Beijing.  Those were the earliest Hongyi cannons of the Ming Dynasty, eleven of which were shipped to Liaodong, and the Battle of Ningyuan "seemed" to hit Nurhachi.

    Zhou Shipu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, was very close to the Donglin Party, and his main political opponent was the eunuch who supervised the Ministry of Industry and Engineering.

    Zhang Yandeng, the censor of Zuodu, is a capable minister and official, and he is versatile in both civil and military affairs.

    Emperor Chongzhen seemed a little tired, and said: "The thieves have entered Sichuan, Henan, and Huguang. How should we suppress the law?"

    No one answered, no one dared to answer!

    Emperor Chongzhen has been on the throne for several years, and the ministers have also figured out the way, and now all of them are "smart and safe".

    Shoufu Wen Tiren was like a bodhisattva, standing there in a daze.

    Although he cultivated party members in private, he was a lone minister on the surface and won the trust of Emperor Chongzhen.

    ? When this person was young, he was also high-spirited, and no matter his ability or means, he could be an important minister of the society to turn the tide.  Moreover, he was clean and honest. Although the Donglin Party hated him deeply, they dared not say that Wen Tiren was corrupt.

    A capable and honest minister who served as the chief assistant for several years in the late Ming Dynasty Well, he never did a single job.

    Under Chongzhen, as long as he is not doing business, there will be no mistakes.

    If it is said that Chongzhen is an emperor who throws pots, Wen Tiren is the chief assistant of non-stick pots.

    The king is bright, the minister is virtuous, complement each other!

    To what extent is the warm body kernel non-stick pan?

    As long as he helps to say a few good words casually, and it has no effect on himself, he can save some officials who are really doing things.  But he just didn't express his opinion, watching the ministers who did things go to prison, he was selfish to the extreme, and he didn't have the slightest responsibility as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

    Seeing Chongzhen looking towards him, Wen Tiren immediately looked at Zhang Fengyi.

    Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, could only bite the bullet and answer: "There should be a governor of five provinces to take charge of the bandit suppression in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan."

    "Is there a suitable candidate?" Chongzhen asked again.

    Wen Tiren said: "Li Shangshu is in the bag, there should be someone who can do it."

    Li Changgeng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, immediately retorted: "If a minister is neither party nor selfish, how can there be someone who has a pocket?"

    "Tell me." Emperor Chongzhen said.

    Li Changgeng said: "Chen Qiyu, governor of Yansui, may be able to take on this important task."

    Chongzhen immediately had an impression, and he also praised this person. During Chen Qiyu's tenure as the governor of Yansui, he killed more than 170 people, including Jieshanhu, Liu Robaozhi, Jinzhipeng, Xue Rengui, Yilong, Diamond Diamond, and Fanshan Harrier.  A thief.

    In fact, they were all thieves who were appeased by the imperial court and returned to their hometown to plow the fields.

    However, the practical problems were not resolved. Although the rebels returned to their hometowns to farm, it was difficult for them to bear the heavy taxes and labor.  These former thieves naturally did not want to be oppressed again, so they did many illegal things, and some even rebelled again.

    Chen Qiyu either suppressed or deceived, beheaded more than 170 thieves, and beheaded more than a thousand old thieves, and all ordinary thieves were sent back to farm.

    Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with this, nodded and said: "Promote Chen Qiyu, the right servant of the Ministry of War and the censor of the capital of Youqian, and the governor of the five provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Sichuan. All armies must listen to their restraint.  Let the rebels continue to flee!"

    This appointment almost killed the Northwest Liu thieves, and the rebels relied on bribes and false surrenders to make it so dangerous.Emperor Zhenzhen had a headache, so he could only say: "Stop arguing, the court will push for a decision!"

    ?When the court election was held on a certain day, Shen Youlong naturally got the most votes, and Li Maofang only had a few votes.

    Then the result is obvious, Chongzhen chose Li Maofang.

    Zhang Yandeng, the censor of Zuodu, resigned in anger.

    He wants to do things, but the situation in the court does not allow him to do things, so he might as well resign and return to his hometown for retirement.

    The emperor refused, Zhang Yandeng had no choice but to continue to suffer as an official.

    Fortunately, this summer, Nanjing East Factory found a letter.  One official asked another official to seek help from Zhang Yandeng.

    The letter was not sent, and Zhang Yandeng didn't know about it, but he was implicated in it.

    After three requests and three resignations, Zhang Yandeng finally left.

    But Chongzhen knew that he was capable, so he only allowed Zhang Yandeng to go home for recuperation, and then return to the court to serve after he recovered from his illness. Among the cabinet ministers, all the officials who dared to do things finally left.

    In the spring of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Li Maofang set off from Suzhou and went to Jiangxi by boat to serve as governor.

    how to say?

    Wen Tiren was wrong, and Li Maofang was also disobedient.

    Although Li Maofang impeached Zhou Yanru (Wen Tiren's political opponent), it was purely out of personal grievances.  Although Li Maofang is not a member of the Donglin Party, she is not in the same pot as Wen Tiren, and she has been close to the Donglin Party during Su Song's supervision.

    This old man is also capable of leading troops to suppress bandits!

    It's just that, compared to Xie Xuelong, Li Maofang is weaker in fighting, and more serious in corruption and bribery.

 Text 120 [Following the Thief]

    The four townships occupied by Zhao Han were quickly abolished. Anyway, "township" is just a geographical concept.

    All sites were changed to eight towns.

    Each town has a central village and four natural villages. Zhao Han ruled a total of fifty villages.

    These villages have also been redefined and their areas have been enlarged.  A large surname is mixed with many small surnames to prevent a certain surname from gaining an absolute advantage in a certain village.

    Try to break the clan influence!

    Although the landlord was either killed or forced to separate.  However, the same surname dominates the village for a long time, and a new clan power will inevitably form over time. Zhao Han cannot avoid this kind of thing from happening, but he can try his best to delay its appearance!

    ?The number of grassroots officials is insufficient, and they have to be busy with clearing up the land and dividing the land, and also busy with administrative divisions, and the whole winter is chaotic.

    The Juren provided by Xiao was originally unwilling to be a thief, and suffered from high-intensity work, so he simply quit.  He felt that he was overqualified, that he had to deal with mud legs all day long, and even deal with women. This was an insult to him.

    Li Banghua and Ouyang Zheng walked around the villages and towns every day, accompanied by a few soldiers.

    "Quickly stop, you have something to say!"

    Several missionaries ran quickly, passing Li Banghua and Ouyang Zheng, because there was a fight in the field ahead.

    During the division of fields, there would be fights every now and then.

    Sometimes it is suspected that there is a problem with the division of land, and villagers beat public officials.

    Sometimes it is because of field boundary disputes that villagers fight each other.

    Ouyang Zheng gloated and said with a sneer: "Zhao thief is messing around. Many villages and towns have been messed up these days."

    Li Banghua has been just watching but not talking, and finally couldn't help it at this moment: "Xianwen, you are born as a child prodigy, do you really think that Bandit Zhao is carrying out disorderly government?"

    Ouyang Zheng was dejected, buried his head in silence for a long time, and sighed: "Oh, Wan Sheng can only think this way, should we still applaud?"

    The two continued to move forward and soon came to the troubled place.

    However, the villagers suspected that there was a problem with the division of the land. The missionaries took the villagers to re-hold the land, and it was found out that the staff of the Zhang field were messing around.

    Of the two people in charge of Zhangtian, one is from the Xiao family and the other is from the Liu family.  The two cheated together, giving more points to their respective tribes and less points to other villagers, bullying the villagers beyond counting.

    "take away!"

    The missionaries directly arrested the people and handed them over to criminal officials.

    "Good catch!"

    "Catch him back and chop off his head!"

    The villagers clapped their hands and cheered, and they stopped watching the division of the fields, and escorted them back to review.

    The missionaries couldn't stop them at all, and after only a few dozen steps, some villagers beat people up.  By the time they returned to the town office, the two cheaters had already been beaten black and blue.

    Tired from walking, Li Banghua sat cross-legged on the field ridge: "Xianwen, will you follow a thief?"

    "I would rather die than follow." Ouyang Zheng said.

    Li Banghua smiled wryly: "I have been watching politics for so many days, and I want to become a thief."

    Ouyang Zheng said in surprise: "Sir, you can't think like this, how can you help the evildoers?"

    Li Banghua looked at the boundless fields, and said with a bit of resentment in his tone: "The affairs here are impartial, impartial, and vigorous. You can't help but want to join them. If you have been an official in the court, if you have been hindered by politics, you know that this kind of feeling is not good.  How wonderful."

    Ouyang Zheng suddenly had tears in his eyes: "What's wrong with this Ming Dynasty, gentlemen, are you not even as good as a rebel?"

    "well!"

    Li Banghua sighed: "It's hard to get back, the building will collapse. The old house will collapse, and no one who lives in the house is innocent. Including me, the house has been demolished."

    "Mr. serves the country with integrity, and even dismissed him because of this, how can he be so self-pitying?" Ouyang Zheng was really afraid of Li Banghua's rebellion.

    Li Banghua pulled out a piece of dry grass from the ridge of the field, held it in his hand and played with it, saying: "Before I passed the Jinshi exam, my family sold the land year after year, and only six acres of land remained. My grandmother passed away, and there was no coffin, so she was wrapped in straw and buried secretly."  Now, my family has thousands of acres of fertile land, how did they get it? I resigned from office and returned to my hometown, and I took the initiative to hand in the land tax, and I was shocked to learn that the county personally sent the grain back to my home."

    Ouyang Zheng couldn't help but smile, and put away his smile again: "Even if Mr. dismissed from office, he is still a high-ranking official. How dare the county magistrate accept the food from Mr.'s family."

    "In the past few days, I have inquired about it," Li Banghua said, "The thief Zhao donated tens of thousands of acres of land to the Wuxing Town Hall, but left a hundred acres. Is he reluctant to part with the one hundred acres of land?  Also. He wants to reserve one hundred acres of land and pay the land tax to the town hall on time, so that other bandit officials will not dare to evade taxes.Scholars who couldn't even pass the entrance exams taught these people "Taixi arithmetic".  It is estimated that in a few months, these old-style schoolchildren will be able to master the four arithmetic operations proficiently, and they will be assigned to public schools in various towns as mathematics teachers.

    Back at the residence, it was already noon, and the soldiers brought food.

    Li Banghua can still accept that it's all rough food, after all, he couldn't even eat enough when he was young.

    Ouyang Zheng is tired of eating, he is a son of a rich family, he came from a young age, and he is sour these days and nights.

    Sometimes, Ouyang Zheng even thought that if Zhao thief treated him with more respect, he would probably be willing to vote for a thief.

    "Can't eat?" Li Banghua laughed.

    "I'm getting used to it soon." Ouyang Zheng could only say, and then he had to bite the bullet and eat.

    Li Banghua chewed the bran cakes of miscellaneous grains, swallowed the vegetable soup with difficulty, and said with emotion: "I heard people say that even Zhao Han himself eats this kind of thing every day. He doesn't even eat cakes in the morning, and only eats porridge.  Pickles. Now that money and food are in short supply, all officials have to tighten their belts until the summer harvest.”

    Ouyang Zheng smiled and said: "It's just a trick to trick the little people."

    "I do believe it," Li Banghua said, "this thief has great ambitions, and he is not a person who is greedy for enjoyment. There is only one servant girl in his house Well, he said it was a maid, and she was also a poor-looking maid. In addition,  There is a woman who washes and cooks rice. It’s been almost a year since the rebellion, and she’s still not close to a woman, so what’s so special about having a simple meal every day?”

    Ouyang Zheng put away his smile, and took a hard bite of the bran cake: "This thief's ambition and strategy, if he can be an official in the court, he will be a minister of the country."

    Li Banghua shook his head and said: "Now that Wen Shoufu is also very clean and honest. He doesn't live in a mansion, doesn't love women, has few domestic slaves, and keeps his food and clothing simple. In terms of personal virtues, Wen Tiren can be called a great sage."

    "This is the blessing of the court." Ouyang Zheng said.

    Li Banghua said: "Wen Tiren not only has noble personal virtues, but also has a long-term memory. No matter how complicated the official duties are, he can handle them easily. He can remember the names and places of small officials who have only met once. In terms of personal morals, I am not as good as  Wen Tiren; in terms of ability, I am not as good as Wen Tiren. If Wen Tiren was born in the early years of the dynasty, he must be a generation of virtuous ministers! However, since the new king came to the throne, Wen Tiren has not done a single serious thing."

    Ouyang Zheng was dumbfounded and said in disbelief, "How could this be?"

    "If you do a good job, you will definitely make a mistake," Li Banghua said, "I was dismissed from office and returned to my hometown just because I did something."

    Ouyang Zheng used to look down on magistrates, but after hearing what Li Banghua said, he felt that Daming was hopeless.

    Conscientiously finished eating the pancakes, and went for a walk in the village in the afternoon, and Ouyang Zheng couldn't fall asleep at night.

    In the early morning of the next day, Ouyang Zheng ran to find Li Banghua: "Sir, I want to follow the thief."

    Li Banghua said: "It's up to you."

    Ouyang Zheng was afraid that Li Banghua would be angry, so he explained: "When a man is alive, he has to do something. Hearing what Mr. said about the court situation, Wan Sheng really has no future in sight. Even if Wan Sheng is named on the gold list, he is only making wood in the court. It is better to follow the Zhao Dynasty.  Thieves."

    "Go, go." Li Banghua didn't stop him.

    Ouyang Zheng cupped his hands and said, "Sir, farewell!"

    All the rebels had to give themselves a false name, Zhao Han changed his name to Zhao Yan, and Ouyang Zheng changed his name directly to Ou Zhen.

    After being a thief, this product was not reused, but was thrown to Yongfu Town to help divide the land.

    Ouyang Zheng didn't feel disappointed, because he had observed politics for many days and knew that as long as he did a good job, he would definitely be promoted quickly.

    Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, Li Banghua couldn't help it.

    He was really in a hurry, he couldn't find a good book to read here, and he had nothing to do all day long.  And the neighboring villages are in full swing, and Li Banghua really wants to join in.

    Because, Zhao Han is doing the business, which is the business that Li Banghua has always wanted to do, but it is impossible to do it.

    On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Li Banghua went to meet Zhao Han and wanted to have a heart-to-heart debate.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 121 [Shortage of food]

    Yongyang Town, General Military Mansion.

    Fei Chun hurried in and threw his big hat on the table: "A group of refugees have come back and are clamoring for land distribution."

    "This is a good thing," Zhao Han said happily. "The war was so fierce before that the common people were scared away by the officers and soldiers. Even though we have half a county, there are less than 50,000 people in Dingkou, so we need to be called back."  Just a few."

    "Food, there is not enough food!"

    Fei Chun's job is to supervise the money and food. He said depressedly: "After the Xiao family donated the soil, many landlords followed suit. Their land was divided, but their money and food were not confiscated. The vagrants who came from Fucheng,  The refugees who came back from Anfu and Taihe have no food in their hands, and even have to borrow seeds from the government. The local tenants don’t have much food in stock, and it will be the season of shortage!"

    The more Fei Chun said, the more anxious he became: "You still have to run so many schools and provide lunch for the students. Except for Wuxing Town, the mayors and heads of household departments of all towns came to me to ask for food. I went to  Where does food come from?"

    "Haha," Zhao Han stood up and poured tea for Fei Chun, and comforted Fei Chun with a smile, "Don't be impatient, don't be in a hurry."

    Fei Chun took a sip of hot tea, moistened his throat and said, "The school has to be stopped. Even if it is really necessary, it must wait until the summer grain collection."

    "Everything can be stopped, but the school cannot be stopped." Zhao Han said.

    Running a school really does not require a lot of money and food, it is all children aged 7-12, and it can barely be regarded as four years of compulsory education.

    Today, there are only more than 40,000 people (over 12 years old) under Zhao Han’s rule, and only more than 3,000 school-age children aged 7-12. How much can you eat for lunch every day?  It only consumes 200 stones in a month.

    Moreover, the teaching content is mainly literacy, and the requirements for teachers are also very low. It is nothing more than popularizing elementary education on a large scale.

    Four or five teachers can teach a town.

    Books and pens and ink are not consumed much, and white Jin soil is used as chalk to write and teach on black wooden boards.  Students who have money prepare their own pens and ink, or even study at home, and they don't look down on public schools at all.  In families with no money, parents use their hair to make brushes, and students practice calligraphy on wooden boards by dipping in water.

    As long as you have the heart, there are always more solutions than difficulties!

    The real food consumption is a large number of refugees, vagrants and tenants, who have to rely on Zhao Han to borrow food to survive.

    Fei Chun held his teacup to warm his hands, and gradually calmed down. He said, "There is another way, and that is to ask the landlord for grain!"

    Zhao Han asked: "How long can our food reserves last?"

    "I was very optimistic before, thinking that I could last until the summer grain harvest," Fei Chun said, "But more and more refugees are returning to their hometowns. If this trend continues, there will be a food shortage in March, and it can last until April at most."

    Zhao Han thought carefully for a moment and said, "Then borrow grain from the landlord."

    "Borrowing grain? Just collecting grain directly!" Fei Chun is in charge of supervising the money and grain. He doesn't want to have grain in the future and return the grain to the landlord.

    "Listen to me," Zhao Han said with a serious expression, "Since these landlords are obedient and honestly hand over the land, we can't keep our promises. If you spit on a nail and say what you say, these landlords will be safe and secure.  There will be no precarious worries.”

    Fei Chun asked, "Do you really want to borrow food?"

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "Call Mr. Pang and the others some other day, and let's set up a food store."

    "What is the grain store?" Fei Chun asked in confusion.

    Zhao Han explained: "That is, we build warehouses and store grain. Anyone can store grain in it and pay them interest on a monthly basis. Farmers who borrow grain also have to pay interest. But the interest must be low, and usury is not allowed!"

    Fei Chun tried to understand: "For example, I am a landlord. I store the grain in the grain bank. After a few months, I can take it out and get the interest from the grain bank?"

    "Yes, that's it." Zhao Han said.

    "Oh, my brother," Fei Chun suddenly felt a pain in his head, "storing food is consuming, the mice will come to eat it, the rice worms will come to eat it, and it may be damp and moldy. Is there any interest for the stored food? I don't charge storage fees.  It’s all for saving face! This is a loss-making business!”

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Now we are saving grain and borrowing grain, and we can save money and borrow money in the future."

    "The bank?" Fei Chun's eyes lit up.

    Zhao Han nodded: "It can also be called a bank."

    Banks in the Ming Dynasty originated from the Zhengtong period, and mainly engaged in the exchange business of silver, official money, and private money.

    During the Jiajing period, there was a flood of private money, the imperial court banned the exchange of copper coins, and a large number of banks across the country went bankrupt.

    In the early years of Wanli, the existence of Qianzhuang was allowed again.  Even, the money houses all over the country have essentially become the issuance terminals of official money-the imperial court casts copper coins, and the money houses use silver to buy money to help the imperial court transfer the new moneyofficial costs.

    In a large and wealthy county, more than 80% of the land has been abandoned!

    Not only the tenants could not live on, but the owner farmers and small landowners had to flee.  And those big landlords did not dare to occupy the land, and the grain harvest was not enough to bear the horse government corvee.

    Therefore, when the northwestern rogues entered Henan, many Henan people spontaneously revolted.

    Not coerced, but a spontaneous uprising!

    The same is true for Shanxi.

    After the Shaanxi rogues entered Shanxi, in just half a year, the number of local rebels in Shanxi far exceeded that of Shaanxi.

    How could Li Banghua not know about this situation?

    Many officials in the imperial court know it!

    Li Banghua took out a letter, handed it to Zhao Han and said, "Send someone to Jishuigu Village and give the letter to my father."

    Zhao Han said happily: "It must be done!"

    "Tell me, let me do something." Li Banghua said straightforwardly.

    "There happened to be a difficult matter," Zhao Han explained the situation of the food shortage, and cupped his hands and said, "I will ask you to borrow food from rich households, sir. They don't trust me for the time being, so it should be no problem for me to help you."

    Li Banghua smiled and said: "Smart people will believe it. If you don't want to return the food, why do you borrow it? Just grab it."

    In addition to borrowing grain from the landlord, Zhao Han also wanted to borrow grain from the government.

    In Taihe and Anfu counties, there are bandits and refugees, and officials and gentry are walking on eggshells.

    Then let them raise money and food, and Zhao Han is responsible for taking the refugees away——Zhao Han got food and people, the refugees can live and work in peace, and the government and gentry no longer have to worry about it.

    It's not a win-win, but a win-win, what a deal!  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 122 [Borrowing Grain] (addition for the lord "Wardrobe Guest Qing Bald Song")

    ,

    Li Banghua's influence is amazing among local scholars.

    Once he stated his position, many scholars and children who did not want to follow the thief also stepped forward to follow him.

    Anyway, Li Banghua is very famous, and he is the one who will stand up to the sky falling!

    In a few days, the grain team was formed, mainly consisting of Li Banghua and local scholars.  Of course, Fei Chun also participated in the whole process, mainly following the study, and at the same time responsible for supervising the accounts.

    It is really a helpless move due to the shortage of talents to entrust such an important matter to a group of local scholars.

    When Zhao Han has trained his own people, he can start killing at that time.  The exact number of kills depends entirely on Li Banghua's restraint, and how many people will act recklessly after eating the bear's heart and leopard.

    "Hey, Mr. Meng An's presence really makes the humble house full of splendor." Xiao Wanquan greeted him with a big smile.

    Li Banghua clasped his fists and said: "My friend Xiao is too famous, I'm just an old man."

    "Where, where, Mr. Meng An, please come in." Xiao Wanquan said with a smile.

    Compared with the past, Xiao Wanquan's family is very deserted, only a few maids and women are left.  Not to mention all the changes to the employment contracts, the wages have to be raised, because the previous wages were too low.

    After the two exchanged a few words of pleasantries, Li Banghua explained his intentions.

    Xiao Wanquan said: "Dare to ask, what is the annual profit of storing grain in this grain store?"

    "One profit." Li Banghua said.

    "It's only one cent?" Xiao Wanquan was rather disappointed. He used to lend grain to tenants, but it was all at a profit.

    Li Banghua said: "It is not bad to have interest. The grain bank stores grain for you, and the storage fee is not charged for various losses."

    "That is, that is," Xiao Wanquan asked again, "If the grain bank lends grain to tenants, what is the interest?"

    Li Banghua smiled and said: "One cent and two cents."

    Xiao Wanquan was extremely surprised, and said: "Isn't the grain business going to lose money?"

    Li Banghua said: "Zhao Zongzhen opened the food store not to make money, but to leave a way for the small people in Shengdou to survive."

    "Mr. Zhao is benevolent, that is" Xiao Wan hesitated.

    Li Banghua got up and cupped his hands: "Since friend Xiao is in trouble, I will not bother you. Farewell!"

    Xiao Wanquan stood up abruptly, and quickly said: "No embarrassment, no embarrassment."

    "Friend Xiao is indeed a smart person." Li Banghua smiled.

    Xiao Wanquan thought too much. He knew that Zhao Han was short of food, and he was afraid that Zhao Han would be in a hurry, so he immediately came to kill and grab food.

    No matter how well-behaved an anti-thief is, he is still an anti-thief in the final analysis!

    The more indifferent Li Banghua behaved, the more frightened Xiao Wanquan became, for fear that he would be lured out of the hole and stabbed at him.

    Xiao Wanquan was willing to borrow food because Zhao Han held the knife.

    And letting Li Banghua come forward in person is nothing more than reassuring the landlords that the grain will not be repaid, and Comrade Li is still very creditworthy.

    Li Banghua visited several villages in a row, and most of them were willing to borrow food.

    Then, Lao Li's coquettish operation came

    Since the warehouses of the grain bank are not enough, they will stay at the landlord's house for the time being.

    In any town where the people are short of food, the household department of the town will come forward and contact the grain bank personnel to go to the landlord's house together.  As much as you need to borrow, you can take as much as you want from the landlord's house. Starting from the date of borrowing grain, you will issue food stamps to the landlord, and at the same time issue grain loan stamps to the farmers.

    The grain store is like a white wolf with empty gloves, there is no warehouse, only the staff are hired, and the left hand is turned into the right hand, earning a difference of 2% interest for nothing.

    However, this middleman is very important.

    If the landlord borrows grain directly, how can the annual interest be only one cent or two per cent?  A monthly interest of three cents is a benevolent price, and a monthly interest of five cents or seven cents is possible!

    Why did every village and town in the late Ming Dynasty have money and food shops?

    One is to lend usury.

    The second is to exchange silver for farmers. One whip method only accepts silver, and huge profits can be made from it.

    Of course, the one-whip law is not strictly enforced, and miscellaneous taxes in many places are still collecting grain directly from farmers.  This is also one of the important means for officials to make profits.

    ?Landlords hated Li Banghua for doing such a thing, and they would never even think about lending usury in the future.

    "Brother, this Mr. Li is really amazing," Fei Chun said happily, "I still have a headache, where can I find a warehouse to store grain. Hey, Mr. Li will directly store the grain at the landlord's house as soon as he goes out. It doesn't need so much  manpower, secondly, there is no loss of grain storage, and thirdly, it saves a lot of interest on grain storage.”

    Li Banghua rectified the Tianjin New Army, and then??Zuo Xiaoliang said, "It's just that my lord is short of food. In order to appease the refugees, I ask the county lord to borrow 200,000 shi."

    "How can I lend you 200,000 shi?" Liu Taiyuan looked like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

    Zuo Xiaoliang smiled and said: "For business, ask the sky for the price, and pay back the money when you land."

    Not only did Liu Taiyuan get angry, but even Zhang Huainan felt it was unbelievable.

    Zhang Huainan was born as a scholar, and has been a teacher for many years. He relied on his benefactor's relationship to buy an official at a discount, and finally got a post as a county magistrate.  He traveled all over the world and was well-informed, and this was the first time he encountered such a rare thing. The rebels were short of food and came to the county magistrate to borrow, and they could bargain for how much they borrowed.

    But it seems that this deal can be done!

    Zhang Huainan said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, there are many people here, let's go to the county government to talk about it slowly."

    "Alright." Liu Taiyuan was still in a daze.

    Therefore, the rebel Zuo Xiaoliang became the guest of honor of the county magistrate.

    After some bargaining between the two parties, Liu Taiyuan was only willing to lend 30,000 shi of grain, and Zuo Xiaoliang had to take the thief away before paying.

    In the end, 60,000 stones were sold, with an advance payment of 5,000 stones!

    Of course, it is impossible for the magistrate to provide food, everything has to be provided by the gentry and landlords.

    First send people to spread the news that the thieves in the county are short of food and may rob other big clans at any time.

    Immediately afterwards, Fei Ruhe marched day and night, leading 500 soldiers to kill the landlord and grab grain.  This goal was provided by the county magistrate, and it belonged to the kind of local rich man who would have no trouble after killing him.

    After robbing two landlords in a row, the other landlords were scared to pee.

    Liu Taiyuan immediately called a meeting of the squires, saying that he could persuade those thieves to return with food.  As long as the gentry collect five thousand stones, they can send the thieves to the border of Taihe County.  At that time, if we collect another 60,000 shi, the thieves will be able to return to their hometowns to farm.

    These squires can only try, anyway, five thousand shi is not much, so it is easy for each family to pool a little.

    Fei Ruhe took the advance payment and immediately went to the thief's territory to recruit people.

    Hearing that "Mr. Zhao" was going to preside over the division of the land, ordinary thieves escaped from the camp one after another, and several rogue leaders couldn't stop them.

    In just a few days, Fei Ruhe recruited more than 8,000 people, and there were more than 300 gangsters left.

    Fei Ruhe immediately launched an attack, killed the disobedient guy, and snatched 20,000 stone thief food.  More than 8,000 refugees helped to transport food, and they walked slowly north, stopping at the junction of Taihe County and Luling County, waiting for the magistrate to send the final payment.

    During the waiting period, more than 2,000 people came to defect with their families.

    Moreover, they are all local tenants in Taihe County. When they heard that the "Mr. Zhao" next door was going to divide the land, they came to call their friends to pack up their belongings.

    Continue to wait for a few days, still no final payment.

    Fei Ruhe was furious, and killed two more landlords to grab food, and threatened to kill all the landlords in Taihe County if they didn't give them food.  Immediately afterwards, he led his troops for a walk outside the county seat, and circled the county seat several times.

    The magistrate was frightened and angry, and the gentry was frightened.

    After another half a month, the final payment was delivered and the transaction was completed.

    On this trip, although the gentry only collected 60,000 shi of grain, Fei Ruhe brought back a whole 140,000 shi, and the rest was robbed of landlords and bandits.

    By the way, more than 11,000 people were brought back.

    The food problem is actually easy to solve.

    (Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass. ?

 Body 123 [For the Evil Seed]

    Li Banghua stood by the canal with his hands behind his back, looking at the busy farming scene around him, he couldn't help but smiled and said: "The stream is good for fishing, and the river fields are good for transplanting rice seedlings. Life is only for this, and it is also enough to be proud of the emperor."

    Pang Chunlai stroked his beard and said, "Mr. Meng An, is there any difference between the spring plowing here and the spring plowing in Jishui?"

    "Farming for oneself is different from farming for landlords." Li Banghua said with emotion.

    Zhao Han looked at the sky from the side: "It hasn't rained since the beginning of spring, and I'm afraid there will be another spring drought this year. Farmers' associations must be formed. When the spring drought is severe, farmers will help each other carry water for irrigation. Students can also be sent home.  Whether you use a bowl or a ladle, every point you can help is worth one point."

    Pang Chun said: "Other villages and towns are doing well. The villages in the north relying on the mountains have only a few small streams as their water sources. Once the spring drought is severe, the streams will dry up."

    "We have to continue to build the canal longer," Zhao Han said, "Bring the river water into the canal with a water truck, and the villages and towns in the north can be much closer to carrying water."

    Ouyang Zheng popped up suddenly: "When I divided the land in Zhangtian in the north, I found that the acres there were relatively barren. Maybe the villagers could be organized to dig a few pieces of poorly harvested fields into water storage ponds during the slack season.  The water is used when there is little rain, and it can also be used to raise fish in normal times.”

    "This method is very good, so I will leave it to you." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    "It's what you want." Ouyang Zheng clapped his hands and said.

    Over the past two months, Ouyang Zheng's performance has impressed Zhao Han.

    A well-clothed son, a scholar who was born as a child prodigy, can actually get along with the mud legs.

    Moreover, he works hard, does not complain about suffering or tiredness, and does things justly, which has won the hearts of the people.

    This guy is exhausted every day, but he still has the energy to read. He must read by candlelight every night, and write a poem praising Fentian every now and then.

    Very good internal affairs personnel!

    Ouyang Zheng also said: "There are many limestones in the nearby mountains, but only the mountain in Yongyang Town has a lime kiln. Another lime kiln can be built to burn lime. There is also a lot of dolomite in the area. I have been to Jingdezhen, where dolomite is also used for firing porcelain."  .Why don't we build a porcelain kiln?"

    "There is no porcelain maker." Zhao Han sighed.

    Ouyang Zheng said: "There are potters locally, but they can only burn pottery pots and bowls. Or you can bring a lot of money to Jingdezhen and call a few potters here, so that the local potters can gradually learn and improve."

    Li Banghua said: "Xianwen takes it for granted, firing porcelain is not something that can be done by recruiting a few porcelain workers."

    Zhao Han praised: "Xianwen's idea is very good, but we have to take it step by step. The first priority is spring plowing. After the spring plowing is finished, a farmers' association will be established. The farmers' association will organize villagers to fight the drought together, and at the same time organize villagers to repair and dig water canals. Jiangxi  Years of droughts are getting worse every year, and water conservancy projects are the top priority!"

    "Yes, water conservancy is the foundation!" Li Banghua believed deeply.

    The national drought in the Chongzhen Dynasty was not only a natural disaster, but also a disaster.

    Since the mid-Wanli period, the central government has not organized much water conservancy projects, relying entirely on local officials to act with responsibility and morality.

    The local officials are getting worse and worse, and the water conservancy in various places has been abandoned one after another. A small drought will become a disaster, and a severe drought will lead to starvation everywhere.  As long as Zhao Han seriously builds water conservancy, not to mention that there will be no impact from the disaster, but it will definitely be much better than other places.

    Huang Shunfu, the mayor of Yongyang Town, said: "There are two canals in this town, both of which are very short and in disrepair. After the spring plowing is over, the villagers can deepen, broaden and grow. Not to mention benefiting the whole town, at least half of the town  .”

    Liu Fang, a boy student from the south bank of Heshui River, is currently serving as Zhaomo of the General Military Office, coordinating the performance appraisal of officials at all levels.  The person suddenly said: "Wansheng comes from Yinkeng Village, where silver is produced. The silver has been dug long ago, and the mountains and slopes have been dug full of holes. During the slack season, you can organize the villagers to level the barren slopes and wasteland, so that you can get a lot of money."  There are hundreds of thousands of acres of fields."

    Another civil servant named Li Hongwen said: "Every summer and autumn, there are floods in Huangba Village and Lijiaguai. In the past, polders kept taking over the river, which made the river narrower and the flood more serious. But in the river  Plant more trees on the side, prohibit villagers from continuing to polder, and then clean up the silt in this section of the river, which may slow down the annual flood."

    "Write it all down," Zhao Han was very happy, "Everyone is making firewood, and if you have any ideas, you can write them into official documents and send them to the General Military Office. Now that the great cause is starting up, a lot of waste is waiting to be done, and I hope you will work hard!"

    "We will do our best!" Everyone responded.

    Li Banghua could only sigh secretly, this atmosphere is so comfortable.

    There are not so many intrigues, as long as you are willing to do things, you can get promoted.  If you do things quickly and well, you will be promoted quickly, and you will truly appoint people on their merits and reward them for their merits.

    Just say that it is called?Weakly said: "Do you still want to change the dynasty?"

    Fei Chun said: "I only want the harmony of the world."

    "The world is in harmony? Brother Han really has great ambitions." Lou smiled wryly, his face full of sadness.

    Fei Chun suddenly said arrogantly: "I want to teach my wife to know that if Brother Han is willing, he can take over Ji'an Mansion at this time. We have thousands of elite soldiers. If the government dares to turn against us, half of Jiangxi can be taken!"

    "You're really talented!" Lou said through gritted teeth.

    Fei Chun stood up abruptly: "Madam, I am in charge of money and food now, and I am considered number one."

    "Okay, very good," Lou laughed angrily, "You are all very well, I really missed it!"

    Fei Chun clasped his hands and said: "Madam, wait a moment. In two or three years, Brother Han will definitely take over the whole of Jiangxi, and then the Fei family can follow suit. This is not a lie. Madam also knows Brother Han's temperament. He is not a fool."

    These words made Lou calm down a little, and began to think about the pros and cons of gains and losses.

    She has only one only son, and since her son has become a traitor, Lou has to fight it out.

    Loyalty to the emperor and patriotism are all nonsense, they are not as important as your own son!

    After thinking hard for a long time, Lou asked, "Brother Han is the leader of the bandits?"

    Fei Chun knew that he couldn't explain clearly, so he only picked what Lou could understand and said, "Brother Han is like Emperor Taizu, Young Master is like Xu Da, Mr. Pang is Liu Bowen, and Li Shangshu is Li Shanchang."

    Lou asked again: "Is there really nothing the government can do about you?"

    Fei Chun laughed and said: "Ji'an Mansion and Luling County, all the officials have been killed, and the governor of Jiangxi has also been defeated. Unless the imperial court mobilizes a large army from several provinces to encircle and suppress, no one in Jiangxi will dare to send troops!"

    With these words, Lou believes that there have been troubles in Jiangxi before, and they all mobilized troops from several provinces to collect them.

    Among them, Guangxi wolf soldiers were so powerful in Jiangxi that there are still countless legends, such as Guangxi soldiers love to eat people.

    It's not a good reputation. Guangxi wolf soldiers entered Jiangxi, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes, and every county was reduced to white land.

    As a result, when rebels appeared in Jiangxi, if the court could not be informed, they tried to keep the court from knowing, for fear that officers and soldiers from other provinces would come to collect them.

    Mrs. Lou hesitated, and asked again: "Li Shangshu also joined you?"

    "It's absolutely true." Fei Chun said.

    Li Banghua is very famous in Jiangxi, and Hanzhu Academy has hired him many times, but he couldn't invite Li Banghua to teach in Qianshan.

    Lou felt that Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe were unreliable, but Li Banghua was more reliable.

    Suddenly, Mrs. Lou said to her daughter: "Your Brother Han has brought your brother to be a traitor. What do you think?"

    Fei Rulan's mind was a little confused, and she didn't even know how to speak, so she just stood by and listened.

    "Are you willing to marry in Luling?" Lou simply asked openly.

    Fei Rulan hesitated to speak, she was very conflicted.

    Lou said: "Follow Fei Chun to Luling, and I will make up the dowry for you when Brother Han kills him and returns to Qianshan Mountain."

    Lou made this choice purely for his son.

    Since her son is a traitor, she can only go to the dark one way.

    However, if there is one more son, the Lou family will not be like this. Quan Dang gave birth to a wicked seed.

    It's a pity that she only has one evil seed&lt;/div&gt

 Text 124 [Cheating on a Thief Ship]

    At the end of April, the pier in Ehu Town.

    Chaoguan on the east side of Ehu Town has now become a military station, and the eunuch Wang Heng is organizing the suppression of bandits.

    It's really nonsense. The eunuch who was hated by everyone last year has become the hope of officials, gentry, and merchants.

    The magistrate is eggless, and the gentry are not united, so we can only ask this eunuch to take the lead.  At this time, 1,500 township braves have been recruited, and there are more than 600 private armed eunuchs, who practice day and night, and are equipped with warships transformed from merchant ships!

    Shanglu Town is not far from Ehu Town, a tributary of the Xinjiang River originates from the Wuyi Mountains.

    Therefore, Shanglu Town is also a large commercial town, which can be directly connected to the mountains along the river, and then you can reach Fujian by taking the trail.

    The rebels of the Secret Esoteric Sect can attack Ehu Town and Xinzhou in advance, and hide in the mountains when they retreat-this town is surrounded by mountains, which is very difficult to clear.

    "Brother Chun," Zhao Zhenfang took out a purse, "I embroidered this with my own hands, please pass it on to my second brother."

    Fei Chun took the purse and put it away, and said with a smile, "I will, don't worry, girl."

    Zhao Zhenfang is twelve years old and is living a good life.  Usually, I would play with the second young lady, read and read together, and learn female celebrities together. She embroidered better than Fei Rumei.

    The Lou family sent the eldest daughter to Luling County, but left Zhao Zhenfang behind and continued to be the playmate of the second daughter.

    Zhao Zhenfang reminded in a low voice: "There is something in the purse."

    "I'll save it, sister don't worry." Fei Chun has already found out that there is money in the purse, which should be the private money saved by Zhao Zhenfang.

    Zhao Zhenfang warned again: "You let the second brother do things well. If money is tight, use my money and tell him not to keep it."

    Fei Chun smiled and said, "Brother Han is rich."

    After saying goodbye, Fei Chun led the team to set off.

    Upstream Chaoguan, the eunuch Wang Heng also led his troops to the expedition.

    This guy took 2100 soldiers and quickly rushed to Shanglu Town by boat.

    The two demon paths had spies along the river, and even local farmers took the initiative to tip off the news.  When the eunuch arrived at Shanglu Town, the congregation had gathered 3,000 troops to stand in formation.

    The situation in Shanglu Town is very abnormal. It produces paper, tea and other commodities, and it is located on an important waterway, so its business is relatively prosperous.  However, there is a serious shortage of arable land. Except for the relatively fertile river beaches, most of the rest are barren mountainous lands.

    As a result, the peasants were miserable, and they joined the Tantric Sect to rebel.

    The two sides fought a battle by the river. Although the Xiangyong had fewer troops, their weapons were relatively sophisticated, and they also organized and trained military formations.  This kind of thing is definitely hard enough to beat Zhao Han, but it is very easy to beat the secret cultists.

    After just one cup of tea, the secret sect members began to collapse, and Yao Dao led the congregation to flee to the mountain.

    Wang Heng raised his sword and shouted: "Kill the thief, kill the thief!"

    The townspeople followed the eunuchs in a frenzied chase, but Wang Heng rushed to the front, slashing several people with his sword, and even beheaded Ma Liaoyang, the leader of Mimi sect, with one sword.

    Seeing the head of the thief beheaded, the morale of the village warriors was greatly boosted, and they chased into the mountain with all their might.

    ?On the hillside, the assistant teacher Zhang Puwei held a mahogany sword and began to dance the big god while chanting words, and suddenly shouted: "I invite the patriarch to drop the stone, and hurry like a law!"

    Countless stones fell from high altitude, smashing Xiangyong into chaos.

    Zhang Puwei was still dancing with her sword, threw out a handful of beans, and shouted: "Scattering beans into soldiers!"

    Hundreds of congregants ambushing in the mountains suddenly rushed out with bamboo spears in their hands. Erqian Xiangyong collapsed instantly, and surrounded Wang Heng and escaped from the mountain in embarrassment.

    The congregation who fled before also started to turn around and fight back, chasing Xiangyong back to the shore.

    Most of the townspeople didn't even have time to escape back to the boat, so they could only run wildly along the river bank.

    In this battle, Ma Liaoyang, the leader of the Secret Sect, was personally beheaded by the eunuch Wang Heng.  But they won first and then lost. When they returned to Chaoguan to count the number of soldiers, there were only more than 800 soldiers left in the 2,100 soldiers. In the afternoon and evening, hundreds of soldiers fled back one after another, and about 500 troops were lost.

    Although Wang Heng felt resentful in his heart, he immediately reported victory, saying that he had cut off the leader of Mimi.

    It's a pity, it's better not to cut.

    Ma Liaoyang and Zhang Puwei, two monsters, secretly had conflicts after the incident.

    It's just right for one to die, Zhang Puwei straightened up and became the leader.  Not only entrenched in Shanglu Town, but also sent people to preach along the Qianshan River, and Tantric believers began to appear around the county.

    And as far away as Nanfeng County, Mimi Cultists have captured the county seat!

    The rebels in Pingxiang County captured the county seat!

    The rebels in Duchang County captured the county seat!

    Tian Bing in Ruijin County was chased into the mountains by Xie Xuelong. A large number of them froze to death in winter and returned in early spring.  And became more violent, began to kill landlords and grab food, and captured the county after eating and clothing warmly!

    &nbsp; Judging by the name, she is still Miss Fei.

    Facing the female relatives, the three of them did not dare to neglect, calling each other younger siblings.

    Fei Yuanjian couldn't help but ask, "Where does the younger brother and sister belong to?"

    In ancient times, boudoir names were kept secret, and even Fei Yuanjian had never heard of Fei Rulan's name.  Moreover, most of the women in the boudoir wore veils when they went out, and no one had seen Fei Rulan's true face.

    Fei Rulan replied, "Ruhe is my younger brother."

    "So it's Miss Ehu," Fei Yuanjian said with a smile, "I heard from Mrs. Lou that she sent her eldest daughter to visit relatives in Jiujiang, so she has been on this boat all along."

    Fei Rulan smiled and said: "Fei Chunyan, within two days, you can reach Yongyang Town."

    Xu Ying asked confusedly: "Which Yongyang Town?"

    "Yongyang Town, Luling County," Fei Rulan asked after finishing speaking, "You three gentlemen, do you ever know about Zhao Yan, the giant bandit in Luling?"

    Liu Ziren nodded and said: "I've heard that Zhao Yan is eight feet long, capable of carrying a tripod, and versatile in both civil and military affairs. Because he failed in many trials and hated corrupt officials, he led the crowd to become rebels. It's a pity  , What a pity!"

    Fei Yuanjian also began to talk nonsense after hearing and reading: "I heard that Zhao Yan has one hundred and eight generals under his command, all of whom are heroes from the green forests of Jiangxi. There is a man named Zhao Yaonian who knows Wudang Lai Yun Zong Kung Fu, stepping on his left foot  With his right foot, he jumped onto the city of Ji'an Prefecture and killed all the officials in the city."

    Well, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" seems to have spread, and Ti Yunzong's kung fu is also widely known.

    I just don't know which one of Zhao Han's subordinates can master the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.

    Suddenly, Xu Ying asked: "The giant bandit Zhao Yan, don't you know the word Ziyue?"

    Liu Ziren and Fei Yuanjian looked at each other in amazement.

    Fei Rulan was a little helpless, and then forced a smile: "The giant bandit Zhao Yan is exactly the word Ziyue."

    "Then Zhao Yaonian is Master Ruhe?" Xu Ying asked again.

    "Xu Xianggong guessed right again." Fei Rulan said.

    "well!"

    Xu Ying sat down slowly, and muttered to herself: "I knew it, I knew it. As soon as I heard the giant bandit Zhao Yan, I thought it should be Zhuochen. He and his husband (Pang Chunlai) have long thought about rebelling  Sooner or later, there will be such a day." As she spoke, Xu Ying smiled wryly, "I have just been admitted as a scholar, maybe I can still pass the exam."

    Liu Ziren scratched his head crazily, walking up and down the cabin: "Why bother, this is a beheading business."

    It was Fei Yuanjian who slapped the table and said, "If it's reversed, it's reversed. It just so happens that I can't pass the exam for a scholar. There are only a thousand acres of land left in my family. If I want to buy an official, I have to donate tribute first (the Imperial College donates students), so it's better to rebel."  !"

    Fei Rulan bowed again and saluted: "My husband did something stupid and cheated three thieves, I will apologize to everyone."

    "That's all," Liu Ziren was silent for a moment, then sighed, "This year there was a riot in Qianshan Mountain, the landlords all increased their rent, and there was a spring drought, so I can't survive anyway.  Gotta be a bandit."

    Xu Ying was silent and made no statement.

    In fact, he had already guessed before boarding the ship.  But Pang Chunlai and Zhao Han both had great kindness to him, and this trip was nothing more than to repay the kindness.

    The three bid farewell to Fei Rulan, and left the cabin together.

    When they left, Fei Rulan was sighing.  She didn't want to be a thieves' wife, but only wanted to have a few hundred acres of land at home, raise some maids and servants, and live peacefully with her husband.

    But at this point, what choice does she have?

    Not only do you have to stoop to be a thief, but you also have to appease your husband.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 125 [Propaganda Datong] (additions for the lord "Daoyuan Butu and Lord of Mysteries")

    The boat was about to arrive at Yongyang Town, everyone packed their things and walked to the bow one after another.

    After passing the intersection of Heshui and Lushui, Fei Chun pointed to the front and said, "Both sides of Heshui River are our territory!"

    Liu Ziren looked at the lush seedlings on both sides of the bank, and exclaimed: "The rice seedlings here have the best growth rate by taking a boat all the way here."

    Fei Yuanjian was a little confused: "Why didn't I see it?"

    Liu Ziren explained: "Don't just look at the places next to the river, you have to look farther away. Look at the paddy fields in the distance, the seedlings are very green in color, and other counties along the way, as long as they are far from the water source, they are already drought-stricken.  It's a little yellowish."

    "Is there no spring drought here?" Fei Yuanjian asked doubtfully.

    "It's also dry, look at the river on both sides." Xu Ying pointed to the bank.

    The water level has dropped significantly, and the dried sludge can still be seen on the river bank after the water recedes.

    Soon, they witnessed a lively scene.

    ?Because the water level in the river has dropped a lot, the water truck can no longer lift water normally.  So more than a dozen people stood by the river and used wooden barrels to fetch water all the way to the bank, and then poured the water into the diversion canal to facilitate the irrigation of paddy fields near the canal.

    It has been flowing to the end of the canal, and a water storage pit has been dug temporarily.  Villagers farther away can carry water from the puddles instead of having to go far to the river.

    Liu Ziren grinned and said, "I like it here."

    "The government and the people are of one mind." Xu Ying commented.

    This kind of practice seems simple, but it must be organized by authoritative people.  Otherwise, there will be countless disputes along the canal, and there may even be group fights for grabbing water.

    Coming all the way from Qianshan Mountain by boat, only Yongyang Town can do it.

    "Shift changed, shift changed!"

    Another group of people came to the river, and those who had carried the water before went ashore smiling, talking and laughing with each other.

    A half-hearted missionary officer said by the river: "See, this is what the peasant association is for. It's not a hundred times more convenient than carrying water to irrigate the fields? This peasant association was established by the Datong Association for us farmers um," the missionary officer suddenly  Stuck, I looked down at the small book and continued, "The farmers' association is our farmers' association. The farmers' association is to help farmers"

    "Xiao Xianggong, stop chanting, just like a monk chanting scriptures." Some villagers complained.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Everyone laughed suddenly, and regarded the missionary officer as a storyteller.

    This Mr. Xiao is a Tongsheng from the Xiao family in Yongyang, and he is obviously not very proficient in business.  He continued to flip through the small book and said: "What is the Great Harmony of the World"

    "Everyone has a field to cultivate, everyone has food to eat, and everyone has clothes to wear!" A villager has learned to answer quickly, "I read it every day, every day, and I can recite it by heart."

    There was another burst of laughter.

    The mission officer surnamed Xiao finally got angry: "Don't interrupt, I haven't finished yet!"

    "Speak, Mr. Xiao." The villagers laughed.

    The mission officer walked up and down the river with his head held high and his chest held high, saying, "What does everyone have to farm? All the land in the world is occupied by the emperor's relatives, by civil and military officials, and by honorable gentry.  You occupy tens of thousands of acres, and he occupies thousands of acres. We ordinary people have no land to cultivate, and can only be tenants to farm for the landlord. Do you think this is the truth?"

    "yes!"

    The villagers shouted in unison and stopped joking and making trouble.

    The mission officer didn't look at the notebook any more, and walked around with his hands behind his back: "If the landlord has land in his hand, he can bully the tenants. The rent of the land can be set as much as he wants. When there is a famine and a bad harvest, he will fight big and small. He will let it go."  For loan sharks, five cents a month is considered less, but there are seven or eight cents a month. The tenants are busy all year round, and the harvest is all the landlord's, so they can't even eat enough. Is this the truth?"

    "yes!"

    The villagers took the time to shout while carrying water.

    The missionary officer continued: "The tenants are so miserable, but those who have their own land can live well? As long as they are not big landlords, they will not have a good life."

    "The imperial court increases taxes every year, and the county magistrate also changes the method of apportionment. There is also the whip method, which only collects money and does not collect grain. Tenants do not have to pay land taxes, but small landlords have to. Small landlords with only a few tens of acres of land  , Sometimes I don’t have any money to pay the whip tax? I can only use the grain to go to the money and grain shop to exchange for silver, and I will be cheated by the big landlord.”

    "The intention of this whipping law is good. It includes the land tax and miscellaneous taxes. After paying the whip tax, you should not pay other miscellaneous taxes. But until now, after the whip tax is paid, there are miscellaneous taxes.  It is equivalent to paying miscellaneous taxes twice. There are many miscellaneous taxes, but it does not collect money, and let farmers send their grain to the county government. Hey, the soap official kicks you, and you can kick a few catties.  full, force you toA traitor is a thief's wife," Fei Rulan laughed as she said it herself, "I've lived for almost twenty years, and I always thought that my husband would be a scholar full of knowledge, but I really never thought that I would be a bold and daring traitor."  .  This anti-thief rule is very weird, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully.  I can't take the lead in breaking the rules he set, can I?  "

    Xiyue is uneasy, but yearns for it. From now on, she can no longer kneel down to others, and she is still a free person without a contract of prostitution.

    Two maids, one old and one young, learned that the mistress was coming, so they also put down their work and came to see her.

    "Ma'am!"

    The two said a blessing, and couldn't help secretly looking at his wife. She was indeed handsome and dignified, worthy of our Mr. Zhao.

    Fei Rulan smiled and asked, "What's your name? How long have you been with Mr. Zhao?"

    The young maid said: "My name is Huang Zhaodi, I'm from Wuxing Town, and I've been with my husband for more than half a year."

    The old lady said: "My name is Huang Lishi, and I have been here for more than half a year."

    "Both surnamed Huang," Fei Rulan asked Xiyue to fetch some copper coins, "It's the first time we meet, let's take it for tea."

    "Mrs. Xie."

    The two maids were quite happy, and felt that the lady in front of them was more generous than Mr. Zhao.

    Xiyue was a little angry, and almost reprimanded them, because when they received the reward money, they didn't kneel down to thank them.  Maybe it's okay to get acquainted, but it's the first time you meet, you have to kneel down and thank the master for the gift!

    Fei Rulan still had a smile on her face, asked a few more questions about the situation, and then led them to tidy up the yard.

    Even the furnishings in the room are very particular.

    The two maids were in admiration, thinking that Madam is too powerful.  The same thing, just moved the position, it seems much more pleasing to the eye.

    ? When Zhao Han came back from get off work, the house was completely new, and even the nooks and corners were wiped clean.

    Although Zhao Han didn't ask for anything about it, he still felt very comfortable, and the exhaustion from a tiring day disappeared instantly.

    (Thanks to Xiao Miaomiao for rushing forward, the leader of genius945 for fighting, and thank you all book friends for your rewards and support. By the way, please ask for a monthly ticket.) &lt;/div&gt

 Text 126 [Just hug for a while]

    Seeing Zhao Han, Fei Rulan was a little shy, but also quite happy, and took Xiyue to salute Wanfu.

    After Zhao Han bowed his hand to return the salute, he pulled Fei Rulan to sit down: "I knew my sister was here during the day, and I couldn't leave because of my busy schedule. At this time, the spring plowing is over, and there are more things to do.  It is a headache. There is also the training of young and strong soldiers. Now that the territory is bigger, it is not convenient for young and strong in remote villages to gather in Yongyang Town. They are asked to organize training in the village, and many training officers have to be sent.  Officers have to focus on drills first"

    The atmosphere seemed awkward at first, but Zhao Han's very natural behavior made Fei Rulan feel more relaxed.

    She was pulled to sit down by Zhao Han, and she listened to Zhao Han talk about many business affairs, she kept smiling and listened without interrupting.

    After a long time, Fei Rulan looked at Zhao Han and said, "You've become darker and thinner, and your cheeks have sunken due to exhaustion."

    "It's in the sun," Zhao Han said with a smile. "Many times, you can't just sit in the general military mansion, but you have to go to the villages and towns to inspect in person. Some officials from rich families are always worry-free.  Supervisor, but the mission officer is not a full-time censor. By the way, I heard that there are religious bandits in Qianshan Mountain?"

    Fei Rulan said: "In Shanglu Town next to Ehu Town, the news of the Yaodao's rebellion frightened my grandfather very much. Fortunately, there are still banknotes in front of him.  Grab the eunuch's money first."

    "Haha, it seems that eunuchs are also useful." Zhao Han couldn't help laughing.

    Fei Rulan said: "Everything is fine at home, mother makes you feel at ease Rebellion. Since my younger brother has become a traitor, she can only admit it with her nose, and repeatedly told her not to reveal her family background. After all, her father is still an official in the court."  .”

    "Is my father still serving as the county magistrate in Suqian?" Zhao Han asked.

    The title "our father" made Fei Rulan's ears blush, and said shamelessly: "Daddy has been promoted, and he has been promoted two levels, and he is serving as a general judge in Huzhou Prefecture."

    Being promoted so quickly must have cost money again.  Of course, it also has something to do with the Donglin Party. Fei Yinggong is working with Qian Qianyi to carry out the ancient prose movement of "clearing the roots".

    Neither Zhao Han nor Fei Rulan knew that Fei Yinggong was going to suppress the bandits, and wipe out the Huzhou water bandits

    Fei Rulan asked someone to bring the food, and after Xiyue helped serve the food, she stood by and waited.

    Zhao Han was a little awkward, and said, "Sister Xiyue, please sit down and eat."

    "Han Young Master, this is impossible." Xiyue flinched in fright, and still didn't know how to address Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han looked at Fei Rulan, Fei Rulan smiled and said, "Add a pair of bowls and chopsticks yourself, do you still want me to serve you rice with my own hands?"

    Xiyue had no choice but to obey, and when the meal came, she sat down tremblingly, only daring to sit on half of her buttocks.

    After dinner, Zhao Han got up and said, "I'll go talk to the three of them."

    "Brother Han, just go, I'll wait at home." Fei Rulan sent Zhao Han to the door.

    Taking advantage of the moonlight, Zhao Han went to the courtyard next door, and halfway took out his purse to play with, which was brought by his younger sister, Fei Chun.

    When I came to the courtyard and saw Xu Ying's family, I realized that Xu Ying had been called by Pang Chunlai.

    Xu Ying, Liu Ziren, and Fei Yuanjian were all at Pang Chunlai's side, chatting and laughing while enjoying the cool under the moonlight, even Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun were there.

    "Haha, you're finally here!" Fei Ruhe laughed.

    Fei Yuanjian also teased: "I've been guessing when you will come, and I thought you were going to accompany Madam tonight."

    Pang Chun said: "Sit."

    These guys had already reserved a place for Zhao Han, an empty bamboo chair, and a teacup in front of them.

    Zhao Han sat down, poured tea by himself and said, "Before the harvest of summer crops, money and crops are relatively tight, and I don't bother to buy wine. Today, old friends are reunited, and I will replace wine with tea. Let me offer you a cup first!"

    "Easy to say!"

    Fei Ruhe and Fei Yuanjian toasted at the same time.

    Fei Yuanjian seems to have come out of the shadows, and now he is much more cheerful.  Liu Ziren was more reserved, but Xu Ying was still reserved.

    Fei Yuanjian took the lead and said: "Mr. Pang explained the truth. We are newcomers, so we can't break the rules here. I don't know how to fight, I don't know how to farm, and I don't know how to teach. Brother Han,  You can arrange a job for me. By the way, I have a letter now, I am a master of letters."

    Zhao Han thought for a while, and said with a smile: "Brother Daqi, how about following Mr. Pang to handle some paperwork?"

    "Just do what you have to do. I'm too busy," Fei Yuanjian sighed, "You don't know, since you left with Ruhe, I have no one to talk to, so I can only study in the academy. I  They all worked so hard, hey, they still didn't pass the exam, but Xu Ying got in first.Come on, those of you who do great things should also have a family business.  "

    Zhao Han didn't speak, just smiled straight at Fei Rulan.

    "Why are you looking at me?" Fei Rulan was a little embarrassed.

    Zhao Han said: "It's been very busy for a while. After the busy time, it's the busy farming season. After the summer grain is harvested, we can relax. At that time, we will worship and get married."

    Fei Rulan was too ashamed to look directly at Zhao Han. The relationship between the two seemed to be clear, but somewhat unclear.  So, Fei Rulan brought up her younger brother's marriage, trying to make insinuations, but Zhao Han dismissed it all at once, and even set a time for worship.

    The girl under the lamp, Xiafei's cheeks are beautiful and shy.

    Zhao Han is a hot-blooded young man, his whole body is hot, and now it is even hotter.

    After returning from the bath, she groped into Fei Rulan's room directly, scaring Miss Fei so much that she almost screamed out.

    "Why did you come in? You haven't visited yet." Fei Rulan was too frightened to move.

    In the darkness, Zhao Han got into the bed: "I'll hug you for a while, I really miss you."

    "You coax me, so you won't miss me." Fei Rulan trembled slightly, fearful and anticipating at the same time.

    According to the age of marriage in ancient times, at Fei Rulan's age, children can play soy sauce, and she usually has all kinds of charming fantasies.

    "Don't touch me!"

    "I didn't touch it, just hugged it for a while. Are you a little hot? I'll help you undress."

    "I'm not hot oh, I'll take it off by myself, you're clumsy."

    "" &lt;/div&gt

 Text 127 [A den of thieves?  This Taoyuan also!  】

    ,

    "Boom!"

    It's early summer now, and it's finally raining.

    Fei Rulan lay on Zhao Han's chest, staring at the heavy rain outside the window.  She finally knew what being gluey was like paint, and she always wanted to get tired of being with the person next to her pillow. Xiyue had already yelled twice, but she still didn't want to get up to eat.

    "Husband, what are you thinking?" Fei Rulan moved her body, resting her head on Zhao Han's arm.

    Zhao Han sighed, "It's raining so badly It's hard to describe it in words."

    Fei Rulan asked curiously: "Isn't there a constant spring drought? Isn't it raining?"

    Zhao Han explained: "There was a military disaster last year, and a lot of winter wheat was replanted. Now it is flowering and pollinating. When it rains, the production will definitely be reduced. The wheat sown in time will be harvested in a few days.  This strong wind and heavy rain will easily cause the mature wheat to fall down. I hope it will not rain for several days in a row, otherwise this year’s summer grain harvest will be at least 30% to 40% short.”

    "You traitor is really tired. You are worried about drought and rain." Fei Rulan sighed.

    Zhao Han said helplessly: "In the past, one person was full and the whole family was not hungry. Now there are tens of thousands of people under my command, and I have to think about their stomachs."

    Wheat is also grown in the south, especially in Zhao Han's territory, where there are many dry fields, and wheat is the main summer crop.

    Seeing Zhao Han lying on the bed restless, Fei Rulan sat up and said, "Get up and eat."

    "Get up after one kiss." Zhao Han suddenly smiled hippie.

    "No kiss." Fei Rulan lay down again, turned her back to Zhao Han, and smiled into crescent moons.

    Zhao Han rushed over and gnawed on it for a long time, finally got tired of getting up, and went out to eat holding hands.

    After it rained for three days in a row, the water level that fell in the river all rose back up, and even reached the shore.

    The next few days will be cloudy and rainy.

    The rain is not too heavy, but a few seeds are always sprinkled, which makes Zhao Han feel so worried that his hair will fall out.

    All the high-level personnel were called, and after a meeting and discussion, Zhao Han issued an order: "The wheat that the villagers returned to their hometowns to replant will definitely fail in a large area this year. Mr. Li, Fei Chun, the grain bank must be prepared.  There is no need to repay the borrowed grain for the time being. From June to the autumn grain harvest, all the borrowed grain will be interest-free during these months! The landlord will pay the interest on the stored grain, and we would rather lose some."

    "Understood!" Li Banghua and Fei Chun responded immediately.

    Zhao Han said again: "Maosheng's mission group, Dashan (Zuo Xiaoliang)'s peasant association, immediately started to promote the organization after the weather cleared. First harvest the wheat that has fallen due to the wind and rain, and take back as much as you can!"

    In ancient times, there were no lodging-resistant varieties of wheat. After they matured, they encountered strong winds and heavy rains, and they were likely to fall to the ground in pieces, resulting in a poor harvest.

    Zuo Xiaoliang said: "Don't worry, the general town, the peasant association has already taken action. These days, people in various villages and towns have been mobilized to help each other up the fallen wheat. Everyone inserted bamboo poles and made simple fences with strips of strips.  Immediately lift up and tie up."

    "You did a great job, I will credit you to the farmers' association!" Zhao Han was very happy.

    Ouyang Zheng raised his hand and said: "After the spring plowing, I organized the villagers to dig four reservoirs. The roads over there are not easy to walk, especially the mountain roads. I want to organize the villagers to build roads."

    Zhao Han said: "After the busy farming season is over, let the peasant association assist you in doing things."

    After finishing talking about agriculture and infrastructure, Xiao Huan suddenly said: "According to the report from the spies who stayed in the prefecture, the prefect of Ji'an and the prefect of Luling County have arrived in succession a few days ago."

    "Who is the prefect of Ji'an?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xiao Huan replied: "Yang Zhaosheng, the third-ranked Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi, the exact identity of this person is still unknown."

    Zhao Han asked Li Banghua: "Does Mr. Li know this person?"

    Li Banghua shook his head: "I've never heard of it."

    Since I haven't heard of it, it must be a small role, and everyone doesn't care.

    Xiao Huan also said: "The new county magistrate is called Wang Diaoding. It seems that he was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen. I don't know how he is."

    The new governor is a fool.

    The new magistrate is a really good official.

    Wang Tiaoding used to be the magistrate of Xian County. Instead of being corrupt, he actually donated money to build the city wall.  Not only donated his salary, but also donated the money he brought from home.

    At that time, the people of Xian County were destitute and bandits were everywhere. It took only three years for Wang Tiaoding to wipe out the bandits and let the people live.

    At this moment, Wang Diaoding is visiting the people.

    ?Because Zhao Han killed all the officials of the county government, Wang Diaoding no longer had to rectify the officials, and he was not afraid of being ostracized by his subordinates.

    he broughtThe scene is more lively and orderly in chaos.

    Here is divided into several areas, the men are threshing with flails, and the women are turning the wheat with wooden rakes.

    After working for a while, a mission officer called for a break, and everyone gathered under the shade of a tree to drink tea and chat.

    The tea is all made from cheap tea foam, and it has long been whitened, just like drinking boiled water.  But everyone was drinking vigorously, and there was a pretty woman who sang ditties to everyone while they were resting.

    "good!"

    "another one!"

    After singing a song, cheers and cheers in unison.

    The one who sang the little song was originally a prostitute in Fucheng, who came here voluntarily from a thief.

    She was also allocated three acres of land, but she was unable to cultivate it, so she had to rent it out to farmers who could afford it.  I usually follow the missionary officer, take a salary, and sing songs to enliven the atmosphere.

    Wang Diaoding remained silent and walked towards the next village and town, only to find that it was similar everywhere.

    He looked at the people rejoicing to harvest wheat, and suddenly his eyes were moist and he said: "This is not a den of thieves, this is clearly a peach garden."

    Wang Diaoding turned around and asked his followers: "Is this a den of thieves?"

    Everyone is silent and dare not speak nonsense.

    Suddenly, a soap official boldly said: "They have all divided the fields. I heard that the tax is not heavy. Why don't they like collecting grain for themselves?"

    "You don't understand, you don't understand!" Wang Diaoding shook his head repeatedly.

    How can this make sense just by dividing the fields? So many farmers are like a family, helping each other harvest wheat and dry it.  Not only did not see any disputes, but also a scene of harmony, this kind of organizational power is too terrifying.

    Even, the people can be directly converted into an army!

    After inquiring all the way, Wang Tiaoding actually went straight to the General Military Mansion, cupped his hands and said to the guard: "Please inform Mr. Zhao, Luling County Magistrate Wang Tiaoding is asking to see you."

    (Ask for a monthly pass. ?

 Text 128 [Or else, forget it as a thief] (addition for the lord "echoss")

    In ancient Jiangxi, it was really necessary to grow wheat.

    For example, "Jianchang Mansion Chronicle" records: "Wheat, planted in October, harvested in April."

    In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, double-cropping rice and three-cropping rice were successfully promoted in the south and northeast of Jiangxi.

    However, in other places in Jiangxi, due to insufficient water and heat conditions, they can only practice multi-cropping planting - the joint planting of winter wheat and late rice, or the joint planting of buckwheat, rape, beans and late rice.

    Zhao Han is receiving a Confucian businessman at the moment. He passed by Yongyang Town for business. Seeing that the rebels here attach great importance to agriculture, he took the initiative to come here to offer advice.

    This man's name is Li Fenglai. Although he was born as a scholar, he talked about farming in a clear way: "This rice can be planted later. After the wheat is harvested, the late rice can be planted. The same field can be harvested twice a year for staple food."

    "Apart from planting time, what are the differences between early rice and late rice?" Zhao Han asked.

    Li Fenglai explained: "Early rice can mature in three to four months, and late rice can take longer to mature. The later you sow, the slower it will grow. The shortest is four or five months, and the longest is half a year."

    "Headquarters!"

    Suddenly a secretary knocked on the door.

    Zhao Han frowned and said, "Say."

    The secretary replied: "The magistrate of Luling seeks an audience."

    Um?

    Zhao Han thought he had heard it wrong, so he almost laughed out loud and said, "Please come in."

    Wang Diaoding was invited into the office, and he cupped his hands and said, "I, Wang Diaoding, the county magistrate of Luling, have met Mr. Zhao."

    Zhao Han bowed his hands and said, "Please sit down and wait a moment."

    Li Fenglai also got up to greet him and said: "Li Fenglai, a scholar of Nanchang Prefecture, has met Wang Zhixian."

    Then, Wang Tiaoding was left there to hang.

    Li Fenglai continued: "If you want to plant late rice, ordinary rice species are not enough, you must use 'Fanjaponica' as the species. Farmers serve late rice, which is roughly the same as early rice, but there are some subtle differences. I can write down the differences.  Mr. Zhao can make people try to grow it."

    "Is Luling County suitable for growing late rice?" Zhao Han asked doubtfully.

    Li Feng said: "I don't know, but many places in southern Jiangxi grow late rice, and Nankang and Raozhou also have a lot of late rice. You can plant wheat and rice together, you can plant buckwheat rice together, you can plant soybean rice together, you can plant oily rice together  If you plant it, you will have two crops a year, and you will double the harvest.”

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said, "So please, Mr. Li, bring some Panjaponica seeds, and I'll let them try planting them in my own fields."

    "Leave it on me." Li Fenglai said with a smile.

    As a businessman, it is naturally impossible to be courteous without doing anything.

    Li Feng came to offer suggestions, nothing more than to buy Zhao Han's food.  Not to mention lowering the price, you can buy it at the market price, and it is mainly shipped to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for sale.

    This is a long-term big business. As long as we have a good relationship with Zhao Han, we can collect food here every year in the future.

    Li Fenglai also said: "Those mountainous and sloping lands can just be planted with corn (corn) after harvesting wheat. Corn can also be interplanted with sweet potatoes, which can increase production countlessly."

    Zhao Han said: "I have already bought the corn seeds, and I will plant them after harvesting the wheat."

    Li Fenglai said with a smile: "It's time to breed at this time, and the yield of direct sowing is lower. You can first use dung balls to breed, use the method of ridge loading to plant corn, and then plant sweet potatoes in furrows. In this way, each can get its own benefits.  All sweet potatoes can increase production.”

    Zhao Han got up quickly, cupped his hands and said, "Sir, you are really a great talent!"

    Li Fenglai returned the gift and said: "I dare not do it. Since I am a grain merchant, I am naturally familiar with farming."

    Zhao Han said: "As long as the master teaches the art of growing grain, in the future on my site, the grain will be sold to the master first."

    "It's easy to say, easy to say," Li Fenglai was very happy, and glanced at Wang Diaoding again, "Since Mr. Zhao still has distinguished guests, I will not bother you!"

    "I'll see you off, sir." Zhao Han kept sending Li Fenglai out of the house.

    "That's right," Li Fenglai stopped at the door, and took out something, "This is a tobacco stalk, which can be smashed into fine powder, and sprinkled next to the roots when transplanting rice seedlings, so that pests can be exterminated."

    ? Non-polluting pesticides?

    Zhao Hanxi said: "Sir, please buy the tobacco stems. I will buy a lot of them next year when the seedlings are transplanted."

    "It's easy to say, easy to say." Li Fenglai said with a smile.

    Zhao Han was in a happier mood, not only sent Li Fenglai out of the front yard, but even sent him out of the General Military Mansion.

    Corn and sweet potatoes can be planted on a large scale this year.

    Don't think that the yield of these two crops will not be high without the improvement of improved varieties. Native Americans have cultivated them for thousands of years, so don't they know how to breed them all the time?

    In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, sweet potatoes had been dried and turned over all miscellaneous grains.??, I am afraid that it will be difficult for an army of 200,000 to wipe out.

    Not to mention 200,000, even a 100,000 army, several provinces have to send troops at the same time.  Firstly, the imperial court had no soldiers to use, and secondly, even if it could send troops, it would have to turn Jiangxi into a wasteland.

    "Do you want to change the dynasty?" Wang Diaoding asked.

    Zhao Han didn't answer directly: "I only hope that the world will be in harmony."

    Wang Diaoding stopped talking again, and didn't know what he was thinking.

    Zhao Han said suddenly: "Why don't you be a thief."

    Wang Tiaoding said, "I'll think about it."

    The conversation between these two people was more outrageous than the other, and it was not known who was the official and who was the bandit.

    Zhao Han didn't force it, just asked: "If I expand the peasant association to the entire Luling County, will you recruit village braves to fight against it?"

    Wang Tiaoding avoided the question and asked instead: "Do you treat landlords like that?"

    Zhao Han explained: "It's not my territory, so the method can be softer. It's just to establish peasant associations in various townships, unite tenants to resist rent and interest, and unite small landlords and self-cultivating farmers to resist taxes."

    Wang Diaoding thought about the situation carefully, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Then I can't be the county magistrate."

    Zhao Han asked again: "What if I develop the peasant association to the entire Ji'an Prefecture?"

    Wang Tiaoding sighed and said: "At that time, Mr. Zhao raised his arms and said, the whole Ji'an is yours."

    Zhao Han continued to ask: "What if I develop the peasant association to the whole of Jiangxi, to the two capitals and thirteen provinces?"

    "Farewell!"

    Wang Diaoding got up suddenly, he didn't dare to talk any more.

    Zhao Han didn't see off the guests in person, but only shouted at Wang Diaoding's back: "One day, if you figure it out, Xianzun Wang can come and follow the thief at any time!"

    Wang Diaoding walked out of the General Military Mansion, looked up at the sky, and always felt that the world had been turned upside down.

    (Thank you for the reward from the lord who is alone in the river and autumn, and thank you for your reward and subscription. Ask for a monthly ticket as a routine.) &lt;/div&gt

    ,

    Show respect in front of Zhao Han, and even said that he would consider the issue of being a thief.  But as soon as Wang Diaoding returned to the city, he immediately went to visit the magistrate, trying to discuss how to kill Zhao Han!

    When Wang Tiaoding met, he said: "Fu Zun, yesterday I went to see Bandit Zhao."

    Yang Zhaosheng was a little surprised, but he was able to remain calm, and only said, "Oh, I see."

    "This thief can't be suppressed with force," Wang Diaoding said of his point of view, "It's even more impossible to appease with softness, so we have to design booby traps!"

    Yang Zhaosheng asked: "What did you see in the thief's den?"

    "The thieves are united and have lofty aspirations. The people are happy and happy, just like a paradise," Wang Diaoding said with emotion, "Zhao Yan, the leader of the thieves, wants to rule for three generations."

    Yang Zhaosheng shook his head and said with a smile: "It seems that he is also a good thief."

    Wang Diaoding frowned and said: "The Fu Zun never thought about suppressing the thieves? Within a year or two, the Zhao thieves may steal the entire Ji'an Mansion!"

    Yang Zhaosheng sighed and said: "Zhao thief emptied all the government treasury and caused a great military disaster. His Majesty did not reduce or exempt the land tax, but only acquiesced in Ji'an Mansion's suppression of levy. Half of Luling County was occupied, and Anfu County and Taihe County were also affected.  Bandits, this year's summer and autumn grain collection may be difficult. How can I have any intention of suppressing bandits? If I suppress the collection again this year, I'm afraid I won't be able to get promoted in this lifetime."

    "Your Excellency, you only want to be promoted, and don't you want to suppress thieves for the country?" Wang Diaoding said angrily.

    "Where is the food? How can we recruit soldiers to suppress bandits without food?" Yang Zhaosheng asked back.

    Wang Tiaoding said: "This thief is invincible, we must find a way to lure him to death!"

    Yang Zhaosheng said with a smile: "Then you should find a way to trap and kill them. The most urgent thing is to collect summer grain. You may not be able to collect a few in Luling County."

    The words were not speculative, and the two broke up unhappy.

    When Wang Diaoding left the government office, Yang Zhaosheng sighed and said, "It's nice to be young, I was young too."

    Yang Zhaosheng is actually very capable, but he has experienced too much darkness, and his edges and corners have long been smoothed by reality.  Now, I just want to be an official in peace and stability, and earn some money to support my family by the way.

    Rather, he envied Wu Rousi, a classmate and good friend, who quickly wiped out the White Lotus Sect in Henan, and even killed two giant bandits of the White Lotus Sect.  But Jiangxi is different from Henan, the gentry are not so obedient, and this Zhao thief is not as easy to deal with as the White Lotus Sect!

    ? Yang Zhaosheng is full of old age, and has no courage to do serious things, only the bottom line of repaying the king with his death.

    Historically, he was captured by the Qing army and chose to die rather than surrender, and did nothing else.

    Wang Tiaoding came out from the magistrate's yamen and summoned the squires of Luling County.

    He told the details of the peasant association, and said to the gentry: "The peasant association of the thief Zhao may spread to the whole county. If you forcefully suppress the tenants, you may cause riots among the tenants. Why don't you take the initiative to reduce rent and interest, and tell the tenants  Thanks for your kindness, this will dilute the influence of Bandit Zhao."

    "County Honor, we don't have much food to support the governor and bandits last year. How can we reduce rent and interest?"

    "That's right, the tenants are not happy, but the landlord is easy? The imperial court increases the tax every year, and the local government has apportionments. If the tenants are reduced in rent and interest, they will not be able to live in the future."

    "Since the bandit Zhao has rowed across the river, he probably won't make any big moves in the short term."

    ""

    The rebels were all under their noses, and these gentry were submissive, expecting Zhao Han to be satisfied with half a county.

    I really don’t cry without seeing the coffin!

    Wang Tiaoding sent the gentry away, then slumped on the chair, feeling his heart was so tired.

    He didn't hire a master, but a civil servant to discuss matters.

    The clerk said: "The county majesty, those landlords are afraid. If the Zhao thief can be wiped out, the gentry in the county will definitely donate money and food, but can the county magistrate really wipe out the Zhao thief?"

    "No, at least not for the time being." Wang Diaoding shook his head.

    The civil official said: "Since no one can suppress the Zhao thief, those gentry dare not act rashly. They are afraid of offending the Zhao thief and losing their wealth! The county lords can't do it, and the government lords can't do it either.  Gentlemen only act when they see hope."

    Wang Tiaoding asked: "But I didn't ask them to donate grain to suppress thieves. I only asked them to reduce rent and interest, and show kindness to tenants."

    The official said with a smile: "They can be divided by Zhao's knife, but they can't take the initiative to reduce rent and interest. It's like a dog with meat in its mouth. How can it spit it out by itself? Someone has to beat it with a stick  , Only when it hurts will you spit out meat."

    "They are all short-sighted people!" Wang Diaoding said contemptuously.

    The clerk shook his head: "The county lord can figure it out, but how can the country gentry not know? They are not stupid. But they can't make such an opening. Should the rent and interest be reduced this year, should it be reduced next year? In the future?Lead five hundred soldiers each to help you suppress the place.  Remember to take advantage of the opportunity of dividing the land to strengthen the peasant associations in various villages and towns.  The newly established peasant associations must be obedient and must not act in violation of orders!  "

    The chain reaction reappeared, Chen Maosheng and Zuo Xiaoliang were still dividing the fields, and the peasant movement had spread spontaneously.  It spread northward to the border of Luling County, eastward beyond Fucheng, and southward to the edge of the mountains.

    Four-fifths of Luling County have actually become Zhao Han's territory.

    The big landlords were terrified. They were unwilling to reduce rent and interest rates before, but now they come to Zhao Han automatically.  I just want to save my life, money, food and a small amount of land.

    Over the past year, many grassroots officials Zhao Han trained and promoted were sent to emerging areas, and there was a shortage of officials at all levels again.

    Promotions are quick and officials are full of energy.

    All thoughts of corruption have been downplayed, and they only want to continue to expand their territory and continue to get promoted.  Most of them are pupils and schoolchildren, and a few are scholars. It was impossible to be an official before, but now they see the possibility of becoming a high-ranking official.

    Countless low-level scholars began to rebel with Zhao Han, even more eager to rebel than Zhao Han.

    The county magistrate Wang Tiaoding completely gave up, and in a blink of an eye, only one-fifth of his jurisdiction remained.

    In other words, not even one-fifth, because the area around Tianhe Town was occupied by Fei Yinggong's gang of bandits.  The surviving landlord hurriedly asked the county magistrate to suppress the bandits, but Wang Diaoding didn't even bother to see these bastards.

    At this rate, Zhao Han will be able to occupy the entire county this year, leaving only one prefecture for officials.

    The career is going well, and Zhao Han is getting married too.

 Body 130【Assassin should also follow the gift】

    The participating generals in the Ming Dynasty had great power, and they often led the way alone, and the best ones were similar to the deputy generals.

    The defense is much weaker. It may be defended all the way, it may be defended a city, and it is often under the jurisdiction of the general.

    And Ji'an Mansion is particularly interesting, there is a position called "Ji'an Garrison General".

    This is a legacy from the mid-Ming Dynasty, when the generals and guards were not strictly distinguished.  It shows that Ji'an has not fought a war for a long time, and the court is too lazy to make changes, and an outdated official position still remains to this day.

    ?Ji’an Garrison General is a temporary military attache, and his office is in the General’s Office.

    This guy doesn't even have a servant, and only a few big soldiers under him. His combat effectiveness can be referred to as a yamen servant, and his main income comes from empty pay.

    ? Last winter, Zhao Han captured Fucheng and chopped down the garrison general.

    Civilian officials continued to take up their posts one after another, but the garrison generals did not make up. The generals' office has been occupied by the eunuch Zhang Yin.

    Zhang Yin didn't dare to live outside the city anymore, for fear of being caught by rebels again.  Moreover, Chaoguan has also disbanded recently, because peasant riots have appeared near Chaoguan.

    Wang Diaoding waited for a while at the general office, and Zhang Yin finally appeared.

    "I've met Zhang Zhenshou." Wang Diaoding didn't give him a good face, he hated eunuchs very much.

    Zhang Yin said with a smile: "Our family knows that you civil servants can't get used to those without eggs. Don't worry, you won't need to read it soon."

    Wang Diaoding was a little surprised: "Why did Zhang Zhenshou say that?"

    Zhang Yin sighed and said: "Our family has received the emperor's order, and we will return to the capital someday. The eunuchs from all over the country must be withdrawn. You who wear the big headscarf win."

    Wang Diaoding was startled when he heard it, and then he was overjoyed, wanting to call "Your Majesty the Holy Spirit".

    Emperor Chongzhen, no matter what he did, he would be in a fit of fits and starts.

    Civilian and military generals were not strong enough, so he appointed eunuchs arbitrarily, and even let eunuchs control the army, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households.

    Now three years have passed, the eunuchs have made a mess, and official resentment and public anger have accumulated to the peak.

    Ever since, Emperor Chongzhen made another one-size-fits-all, recalling the eunuchs who had been sent to the whole country.  The eunuchs and supervisors of the front-line army, the eunuchs and supervisors of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and the eunuchs and supervisors' taxes in various provinces have all been revoked indiscriminately!

    Of course, the withdrawal of the eunuchs is also temporary. When it is found that the civil servants and generals are not strong enough, the eunuchs will be sent out again next year.

    And intensified, elevating the power of eunuchs to supervise the army to the highest peak since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

    It's just crazy.

    Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh food. Chongzhen governed the country with all the fire. If you find that the frying pan is burnt, turn it off immediately, and use the fire again when the pot is cold.

    Zhang Yin said angrily: "Tie Zhao broke one of my legs, and it took two months for me to recover. Now it's raining and I still feel pain. Since I'm going to be transferred back to the capital, I have to vent my anger before I leave!"

    "Zhang Zhenshou wants to suppress the bandits?" Wang Diaoding asked.

    "How can I have the ability to suppress the bandits? It's just doing Jingke's business," Zhang Yin smiled sinisterly, "I've been looking for assassins since the end of last year. Governor Li has already wiped out the Poyang water bandits, and I entrusted my connections to find one. Come on."  people!"

    A follower took out a box and placed it carefully on the table.

    Zhang Yin pointed to the wooden box and said, "It contains three hundred taels of silver. When the assassin succeeds, you can give him the silver."

    Wang Tiaoding asked suspiciously: "Why did you give me the silver?"

    Zhang Yin explained: "In the entire prefecture, only you, Wangzhi County, are working together to suppress the bandits. Our family believes that you will not steal money. The assassin is a giant bandit in Poyang Lake. As long as he kills Bandit Zhao, he will be able to pay off the crime, and  There is still a bounty to get. Take the silver and the assassin back, and I will return to Beijing by boat tomorrow."

    It would be useful for Zhao Han to keep the eunuchs, but unfortunately he couldn't figure out what Chongzhen was thinking, so he even recalled the eunuchs.

    The most depressing one was Wang Heng, the Qianshan tax supervisor.

    The eunuch regained his strength and drove the demon Taoist Zhang Puwei into the mountain.  Just as he was waiting for the final blow, he was suddenly ordered to return to Beijing immediately to return to his command As soon as Wang Heng left, Zhang Puwei would definitely come back again.

    Of course, looking at the whole country, the gentry and merchants are very happy, the damn eunuch is finally gone!

    Wang Diaoding took the money back to the county government office. At dusk, the assassin finally came to see him.

    "What's your name?" Wang Diaoding asked.

    The assassin replied: "Ancient Sword Mountain."

    As soon as he heard it, he knew it was a fake name. Wang Tiaoding didn't bother to ask any more. He just said: "The Zhao thief is thirsty for talent. You can lie about joining him and wait for an opportunity to assassinate him. After you succeed, not only will you have money to take, but I will also be able to give you money."  I recommend you to be a military officer in this county."

    "I will live up to my trust!" Gu Jianshan clasped his fists and said.

    & nHeart, there are many daily necessities They are not worth much, but they represent the most precious things in the world.

    Gu Jianshan stood there watching, he came to assassinate Zhao Han, but at this moment he felt that he was nothing.

    How can such a person be killed?

    If he really did it, he might go to the 18th floor of hell after death!

    "Mr. Zhao has a long life!"

    "Bodhisattva bless Mr. Zhao from illness and disaster!"

    "Madam gave birth to a son early!"

    ""

    Many farmers put down their gifts and knelt down to the General Military Mansion from a distance, shouting all kinds of blessings.

    Gu Jianshan had forgotten his mission, he searched all over his body, but couldn't find any suitable gift.  Suddenly, he took off his weapon, a two-handed sword made of fine steel, and put it together with the villagers' gifts.

    Gu Jianshan retreated to the distance, straightened his clothes, and bowed to the gate: "Xuzhou Xiucai Gushan, congratulations to Mr. Zhao on his wedding!"

    "Yeah!"

    Suddenly, the gate of the General Military Mansion was pushed open, and Zhao Han walked out of the gate hand in hand with his newlywed wife.

    "Bodhisattva bless, Mr. Zhao has many sons and many blessings!"

    "Mr. Zhao has a long life!"

    A large area fell to their knees in an instant, and many farmers who had just stood up saw Zhao Han and knelt down again.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 131 [Leisure Fun] (addition for the leader "Longxiang Shengteng")

    Zhao Han glanced around and said, "Tie Niu, bring someone to move things in."

    Zhang Tieniu is the captain of the personal army, and Liu Zhu is the deputy captain of the personal army, guarding the general mansion every day.

    "okay!"

    Zhang Tieniu waved and said, "Everyone, come and move things!"

    Zhao Han's personal guards have been expanded to 120 people, and they are completely off-duty for drills, and all the land they are allocated is leased to farmers for cultivation.

    The main source of personal guards is domestic slaves, and a small part comes from defected guards.  For example, that Wu Yong, who is now the head of the army, spends his whole day apart from military training and entrusts someone to find a wife for him.

    Since they are both house slaves and army slaves, the second middle school name was given—Nuerjun!

    The guards carried the presents happily, and the farmers cheered and cheered happily. Someone even shouted "Long live Mr. Zhao".

    Zhao Han took the paper trumpet in Fei Chun's hand and said loudly, "Thank you folks for your congratulatory gifts. I didn't plan to make a big fuss today. I just invited some relatives and friends. The food is not enough, so I won't invite everyone to the water table.  Come and have a drink!"

    In fact, there is not enough wine.

    It's only a matter of temporarily fetching well water and pouring wine into it.

    Thousands of farmers queued up to drink, and the scene was very lively.

    Fei Rulan looked at the smiling peasants and the gifts being moved in, and suddenly understood what her husband was doing, and also understood the pamphlet of Great Harmony that she read the day before yesterday.

    "Do you like this wedding?" Zhao Han asked.

    Fei Rulan smiled and said, "I'm very happy."

    Zhao Han took his wife's hand and said, "Don't think it's too shabby."

    Fei Rulan shook her head and said sternly: "Even if you are married to the top scholar in the new discipline, many people would not like to congratulate you sincerely. Although the etiquette is light, the friendship is heavy. I am afraid there will be no such festive wedding banquet in the world."

    Suddenly, another group of people came, but it was more than twenty women.

    "Why are you back?" Zhao Han asked.

    Both Xiaohong and Xiaocui have now joined the mission team, and the women and children's departments have been canceled in all towns.  They are all women under their command, assisting the missionaries to do things, and have gradually been accepted by the farmers.

    Xiaohong said: "Sir, on behalf of the mission team, we made a special trip back to congratulate you. Please rest assured, sir, there will be no delay in the distribution of land and mission affairs!"

    Xiaocui led the women and shouted: "Congratulations, sir and madam, on your wedding!"

    "good!"

    The farmers applauded, the more lively they were, the more they liked it.

    "Thank you, sisters," Zhao Han cupped his hands, "You are all tanned, I think these days have been really hard."

    "It's not hard, it's very happy!" A woman laughed, but she was a prostitute who came from Fucheng.

    Another woman said: "I used to live a confused life, but now I live a clear life, and I am happy in everything I do."

    Zhao Han also smiled and said, "Just be happy, sisters, please have a wedding wine."

    Fei Rulan had also heard about these people and knew that there were women in the mission group.  She stepped forward and picked up a bowl of wine: "I offer a toast to all sisters!"

    "Congratulations madam, congratulations madam!"

    The women congratulated respectfully, and then began to chatter and laugh.

    "Madam is so beautiful, no wonder Mr. Zhao has been waiting."

    "Can madam sing? I'll sing one for madam."

    "When my wife gives birth to a young son, I will give him a pair of children's shoes. My female red work is amazing."

    ""

    Perhaps due to work reasons, these women became cheerful and lively, talking endlessly around Fei Rulan.

    Only Xiaocui was a little disappointed, she still wanted to be Zhao Han's concubine.

    But it's just a little bit lost, they are very busy all day now.  Since I have something to do, I will live a fulfilling life, and put aside my love for my children.

    Now that the territory has expanded again, the population under Zhao Han's rule has exceeded 100,000.

    It's a pity that among the more than 100,000 people, only these 20 or so women dare to show their faces and work with the mission team all day long.

    It can be regarded as a good start, and there will definitely be more and more in the future. Zhao Han also wants to form a field nurse team.

    Bucket after bucket of well water was pumped up, tank after tank of good wine was poured down, and the farmers who drank the wedding wine dispersed one after another.

    Gu Jianshan also stepped forward to drink a bowl, then silently retreated to the side.

    Holding the two-handed sword, Zhang Tieniu came to Zhao Han's side and said in a low voice, "General Town, someone sent this kind of congratulatory gift."

    Zhao Han drew his sword out of its sheath, flicked it with his fingers, and couldn't help praising: "Good sword!"

    &nbsp??Hey, roar together when the time comes, and run away when the roar is over, scaring them half to death.  "

    "What are you yelling at?"

    At some point, Zhao Han was already standing under the eaves, holding a spear in his hand.

    "Hey" Fei Ruhe turned his head to look, and suddenly screamed, "Run, the wind is blowing!"

    Everyone scattered and fled.

    Xu Ying panicked and slammed into the water tank in the courtyard, threw her entire upper body into it, and drank several times in a daze.

    Fei Chun rolled and crawled, and jumped behind a big tree to hide.  Seeing that Zhao Han was chasing and beating Fei Ruhe, he finally relaxed and climbed up the tree quietly.

    Zhang Tieniu directly climbed over the wall and slipped away. After this guy went out, he came in with his personal guards again, pretending to say: "General Town, but there are assassins?"

    Fei Ruhe was trampled on by Zhao Han and had already been beaten violently.  Zhao Han said: "The assassin is here, stripped naked and dragged out to show the public!"

    "Obey!"

    Zhang Tieniu was gearing up to fight, but also had a mean smile on his face.

    As soon as he came to the front, Zhao Han kicked out, kicked the guy to the ground, and started to fight with his fist.

    "Oh, my brother stopped, Tieniu didn't dare anymore." Zhang Tieniu wailed.

    Fei Ruhe gloated: "Haha, beat him to death, this guy is negligent Ah, it hurts, why did my sister hit me?"

    Fei Rulan picked up the stick and beat her violently: "I told you to eavesdrop, I told you to eavesdrop!"

    Fei Ruhe didn't dare to fight back, but just dodged with his head in his arms, making Fei Chun on the tree laugh with joy.

    Xu Ying, whose upper body was drenched, wanted to take the opportunity to escape, Zhao Han suddenly shouted: "Xu Ying, go and catch that bastard on the tree!"

    Xu Ying had no choice but to turn back, stand under the tree and shout: "Come down."

    Fei Chun continued to climb up: "If you have the guts, come up."

    "Come down, I can't climb trees." Xu Ying shouted.

    "Come up!" Fei Chun laughed loudly.

    Commander Zhao Han said: "Climb up and catch him!"

    Xu Ying asked: "Is it okay to poke with a bamboo pole?"

    "Yes." Zhao Han nodded.

    Xu Ying immediately ran out, brought a bamboo pole for drying clothes, and poked Fei Chun randomly, causing Fei Chun to scream.

    The perfect wedding night in the bridal chamber was turned into a farce by these guys.

    In fact, Zhao Han is very happy. It has been a long time since he played like this, and there will be fewer such scenes in the future.

 Body 132【Strategic Development】

    ,

    The family also hired a maid and a male worker. The maid helped with washing and cleaning, and the male worker specialized in carrying firewood and chopping it.

    Today's young and strong laborers either gather troops for training or build roads to open up wasteland.  The male workers hired by Zhao Han's family are almost fifty years old and already gray-haired.

    ? Yesterday, the young lady went to church to get married, and today Xiyue is in high spirits.

    She is a dowry maid, and there is no housekeeper in the courtyard, so Xiyue is automatically promoted to be a housekeeper.

    Because Zhao Han has rules, and Xiyue herself is well-bred, so she doesn't flaunt her prestige indiscriminately.

    She called the four helpers together, and said in a lecture: "If you follow the old rules, you can't even enter the inner courtyard, you can only be servants of the outer courtyard. Since you have entered the inner courtyard, you should have the regulations of the inner courtyard.  When Madam came, she bought some toothbrushes and tooth powder, and you each took them to brush your teeth. Look at your teeth, your mouth smells bad when you talk"

    Zhao Han walked to work, vaguely heard Xiyue's lecture, and found it interesting, and it was funny, this girl is doing her job to enjoy herself.

    Arriving at the Yamen of the General Military Mansion, Gu Jianshan had been waiting for a long time.

    Seeing Zhao Han, Gu Jianshan immediately got up and cupped his fists: "I met Mr. Zhao."

    "Sit down." Zhao Han replied.

    Gu Jianshan did not take his seat, but untied his weapon, held it over and said, "Mr. Zhao, I am an assassin."

    Zhao Han didn't take the sword, waved him to take it back, and asked, "Who sent it?"

    Gu Jianshan said: "Ji'an is in charge of the eunuch Zhang Yin. This eunuch was ordered to return to the capital and asked me to follow the instructions of the county magistrate Wang Tiaoding."

    "Zhang Yin has returned to Beijing?" Zhao Han was a little surprised.

    Gu Jianshan said: "I don't know too well, it seems that the eunuchs are going back to Beijing."

    The eunuchs are going back to Beijing?

    Zhao Han scratched his head and couldn't figure out what the Emperor Chongzhen was up to.

    Zhao Han said: "I haven't asked your honorable name yet."

    Gu Jianshan said: "My surname is Gu Mingshan. I used to be a military household in southern Sichuan. I was lucky enough to be a scholar. Later, something happened to my family and I wandered to Poyang Lake as a bandit. I was arrested by officers and soldiers a few days ago."

    "Governor Li Maofang?" Zhao Han asked.

    Gu Jianshan said: "Governor Li Maofang is nothing to be afraid of, sir, you must be more vigilant about Jiangzhou's military preparations, Wang Siren."

    Zhao Han hurriedly asked: "What's the difference between these two?"

    Gu Jianshan explained: "Governor Li Maofang is very talented, but he is very greedy. After he took office, he immediately recruited 2,000 pacesetters. Due to lack of money and food, he joined forces with the prefect of Nankang to extort violently. He also used the excuse of suppressing bandits  , intercepting the food and salaries of the various guards, the Jiujiang Guard was provoked by him to mutiny, and it was Wang Siren who helped to put down the chaos."

    "Where's Wang Siren?" Zhao Han asked again.

    Gu Jianshan said: "Wang Siren is deeply popular among the people. The soldiers under his command have never committed any crimes wherever they go. If I hadn't gotten involved with Li Maofang, I almost took the initiative to defect to him."

    Wang Siren can not only do things, but also be an official.

    Although it is just a small matter of military preparations, three of the six ministers today have a good relationship with him.  Moreover, these three ministers belong to different factions.

    Wang Siren is proficient in both Wen Tao and martial arts, and is relatively clean and honest, which can be called perfect.

    If I insist on looking for any shortcomings, I am afraid that there will only be lust. There are only a few formal concubines, and there are many unnamed housemaids.

    Zhao Han continued to inquire: "How is the strength of these two men?"

    Gu Jianshan said: "Wang Siren recruited more than 3,000 soldiers, of which 1,000 were sailors. Li Maofang had 2,000 pacesetters, and also recruited many civilian husbands. These two people are used to making money, and the leader of the water bandits in Poyang Lake was bribed by them.  Otherwise, I wouldn't have lost so quickly."

    "Where are the uprising brothers in Duchang County?" Zhao Han asked again.

    "In two or three months at most, the officers and soldiers will be able to pacify Duchang County." Gu Jianshan guessed.

    Zhao Han began to think quietly. If the normal procedure was followed, Li Maofang and Wang Siren should go to conquer Nanfeng, Pingxiang and Ruijin first after they put down the civil unrest in Duchang.

    But who can be sure that these two guys won't have convulsions?

    If you feel that Zhao Han is more threatening and bring the navy to kill him, is it possible that we will surprise Fucheng again?

    Gu Jianshan suggested: "Mr. Zhao, Jiangxi is full of rivers and lakes. If you want to establish a foundation here, you must have a strong navy."

    "Can you train as a sailor?" Zhao Han asked.

    "Yes!" Gu Jianshan said quickly.

    Zhao Han asked: "Do water trainers need firearms and crossbows?"

    ? Gu Jianshan said?Do we have enough officials?  "

    "It's enough, and it's more than enough," Li Banghua said. "Nowadays, there are too many officials at the village and township levels. It's just right when the land is divided, but after the land is divided, it becomes redundant. If we continue to do this, when our territory grows, the officials' salaries will be spent."  It's pretty scary."

    Zhao Han asked: "Mr. Li thinks what should be done?"

    Li Banghua said: "The two towns are combined into one town, similar to the previous township. This will free up half of the officials, and they can be arranged to go to Jishui and Anfu counties." As he spoke, Li Banghua stood up and pointed to the map to draw a  Circle, "Take Anfu County, and then take Yongxin County. Send hundreds of soldiers to block the main road out of the mountain, so the prefect of Yuanzhou can't go around, so he can only go to the Ganjiang River honestly."

    This is to make a strategic development plan, take Jishui, Anfu, and Yongxin counties, then Zhao Han's site will be surrounded by mountains, and the east will be a Ganjiang River - the south will not be considered for the time being, because there are no officers and soldiers.  The west side can also be ignored, that is the border of Huguang, and the use of troops across provinces is very complicated, and it will take a year or two to go through the process.

    The more Li Banghua talked, the more excited he became: "If we win this battle, and take Taihe, Wan'an, and Longquan to the south, then the mountains and rivers will be victorious and solid as gold."

    According to Li Banghua's idea of ??expansion, it is equivalent to occupying the entire Jiangxi Basin. At that time, there will be mountains in all directions, and only need to focus on defending the enemies from the Ganjiang River.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "And then."

    Li Banghua pointed at the bottom of the map: "After consolidating the territory, immediately take Ganzhou to the south and take down the whole of southern Jiangxi. After capturing southern Ganzhou, you can go north to attack Nanchang, and at the same time send partial divisions to take Fuzhou.  Can occupy the entire province of Jiangxi!?

 Body 133【Soldiers without blood】

    ,

    Although the expansion decision was made, Zhao Han did not immediately mobilize troops.

    ?Because the autumn harvest is about to come, we can't miss the farming time.

    Due to the influence of the climate of the Little Glacier, the rice harvesting time in Luling County is probably from the end of June to the middle and late July of the lunar calendar.

    During the period, the administrative division was readjusted, and the previous two towns were merged into one town.

    After careful calculation, Zhao Han found that there were indeed too many low-level officials, and the agricultural society simply couldn't support them.

    ?In the early stage, the grassroots officials were full of enthusiasm by virtue of the tax cuts for the division of land and a large number of promotion opportunities, and they were satisfied with very low salaries.  However, this development model is deformed. It is necessary to increase the salaries of officials so that they can maintain a relatively good life without relying on land income.

    Moreover, even if the two towns were merged into one, the number of officials would far exceed that of Daming. After all, Daming's grass roots were in the county, while Zhao Han's grassroots went deep into the villages and towns.

    At the end of July, the adjustment of administrative divisions was completed, and half of the officials were transferred out without any positions for the time being.

    Not only did no one complain, but everyone was excited. Many people speculated that it was going to expand the territory.

    Thanks to Jiangxi's prosperous literary style, there are a lot of scholars, students, and schoolchildren here.  They have no hope of taking the imperial examination, are depressed, and many of them are still in poverty. Every month, there are scholars who "come out of the mountain" and want to assist Mr. Zhao in creating a great cause.

    Zhao Han, the rebel, has no shortage of talents at all, but the time is too short to transform these talents in batches.

    All officials who planned to be sent to the new site were called by Zhao Han for short-term training, mainly to let them deepen their understanding of Datong thought.

    Believe it or not, in fact, it doesn't matter, the important thing is to obey the rules!

    When Zhao Han graduated from the short-term training, he said to these officials: "You have all memorized the rules, and you know how to punish those who break the rules. From next month, the salaries at all levels will increase by 50%. I will not treat you harshly."  , don’t treat the people harshly!”

    How to deal with corruption caught?

    Demotion is certain, and a fine will be imposed.  If caught for the second time, all the property will be confiscated and sent to the mountains to burn lime and charcoal!

    In fact, there is really no room for corruption. If you are too greedy, it is not worth it. If you are too greedy, it is easy to be discovered. Those who dare to be greedy now are all fools.  Even if you want to be corrupt, you have to do it when you have a big territorynot to mention, there are missionaries and peasant associations watching.

    In mid-August, when the autumn harvest is over, the soldiers set off in two groups.

    Zhao Han personally led the troops, entered the Ganjiang River along the Heshui River, and took the Ji'an Fucheng directly.

    Fei Ruhe led the way alone, heading for Anfu County along the Lushui River.  Zuo Xiaoliang was appointed magistrate of Anfu County, accompanied by many grassroots officials, and many missionaries accompanied the army.

    Pang Chunlai stayed in Yongyang Town, Huang Shunfu supplemented with literary affairs, and Jiang Dashan supplemented with military affairs

    "Xianzun, Zhao thief is here!"

    Wang Diaoding is studying in the county yamen courtyard, and now he can only study, and there is nothing else to do.

    As soon as he heard that the rebels were coming, Wang Diaoding got up immediately, raised his sword and went to the tower.

    Officials such as the magistrate, Tongzhi, and Tongjuan climbed up the tower one after another, looking at the bandits outside the city and looking at each other in blank dismay.  They are all unlucky ones, who came to take up their duties in spring, and bandits attacked the city in autumn, and there were no soldiers around them to defend.

    "Fu Zun, open the treasury and recruit troops to defend the city." Wang Diaoding said.

    Yang Zhaosheng couldn't see the slightest nervousness, but said in a sly way: "The treasury? The treasury can run away with rats. The whole Ji'an mansion is full of unscrupulous people, and only a few summer grains have been collected. They must be deported to Nanchang before August. I  As soon as the summer grain was sent out, the rebels came to attack the city before the collection of the autumn grain, so it was a good time!"

    "Just waiting to die like this?" Wang Diaoding asked.

    "Life is hard, and the only thing left is death," Yang Zhaosheng said calmly, "When the Zhao bandits break through the city, I will die for my country."

    This magistrate is really awesome, he has no ability to suppress thieves, and he has long been waiting to commit suicide.

    Wang Diaoding was too lazy to talk to the magistrate any more, so he, together with the prefect of the government and the judge of the government, began to mobilize government servants to defend the city.  He also went to persuade the wealthy households in the city to contribute money and efforts, so that the city must be defended no matter what.

    Those wealthy households are even more interesting, and they all shut their doors behind closed doors.

    As we said before, most of the residents are outside the city, and there are very few residents in the city.  Last winter, the wealthy households in the city had seen the rebels, and knew that the Zhao thieves would not rob food and money, but just force them to release their slaves.

    Since there is no worry about money and food, why should we resist?

    Filled with resentment and helplessness, Wang Diaoding returned to the tower, only to find that the rebel ships had already headed north.

    It was Li Banghua who led the troops to Jishui and returned to his hometown to divide the fields.?? Chance of being beheaded.

    Zhao Han pointed to other officials again: "As for you, all of you are going to help divide the land. If you do well, you will be promoted. As for the official positions in Fucheng, you should forget about it for the time being and rely on your meritorious service to be promoted in the future."

    This bunch of unlucky officials all came to office this year, and they have no chance to harm the people.

    Huang Shunde followed Zhao Han, and stepped into the capital with great vigor.  He was the first boy who became a thief. Although he was reluctant at the time, although it was only for salary at first, he is now determined.

    Huang Shunde was very sure that the Ming court would not be able to defeat Zhao Han.

    Today, Zhao Han has three major secretaries around him, and the specific position is called "Shu Shu".  One is in charge of political affairs, one is in charge of military affairs, and the other is in charge of Datong Association (including mission and peasant association affairs). Huang Shunde is Zhao Han's military secretary.

    ?Passing through the crowd of kneeling officials, Huang Shunde glanced at the prefect, feeling indescribably happy in his heart.

    He was a Tongsheng who couldn't even pass the exam as a scholar, but a colleague of the fifth grade was kneeling in front of him. The feeling of trampling on power was so refreshing!

    In time, he still wants to step into Nanchang Mansion and let the chief envoy, the inspector envoy, and the command envoy kneel down to him.

    Datong under heaven?

    Huang Shunde didn't believe that stuff, but he could believe it.  He is very smart and works very hard. He is not greedy for a penny, but only dreams of becoming a high official in the future.

 Body 134 [Gentleman Formation] (addition for the leader "")

    ? Jishui County is on the east bank of the Ganjiang River, but its essence is on the west bank.

    ? Li Banghua sailed past the county seat by boat, and saw that there were many soldiers on the tower. Obviously, the magistrate of Jishui County had recruited brave men to defend the city.

    "It's okay, it's okay, the rebels didn't attack the city." Feng Zhang, the county magistrate, was terrified, watched the thief boat leave, and sat down limply.

    A Confucian scholar said: "The auspicious water is over."

    "You have to be killed to come back." Another Confucian scholar clenched his fist and said.

    These two are clan brothers, one is Zhou Ruibao and the other is Zhou Ruixu.

    Zhou Ruibao was also the magistrate of Sichuan last year. Due to the severe drought in the area, he led the people to build ponds and weirs, and dug wells to fetch water to alleviate the drought.  All the food was used for disaster relief, so naturally he couldn't pay taxes, so he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.

    Zhou Ruixu used to be a county magistrate in Zhejiang Province. Due to his outstanding political achievements, he was commended by Chongzhen, and he was promoted four times to be a doctor of Wenxuan Division.  Of course, his teachers and classmates helped a lot, otherwise this promotion would be too outrageous.  It's a pity that my buttocks are still hot, and I suddenly received bad news, and hurried back to my hometown for the funeral.

    The two brothers came to visit the magistrate of Jishui County together when they learned about the bandits in Luling, and connected with the gentry of the county to recruit bravery from the county.

    At the beginning, the gentry in Jishui County were still watching.  But when the summer harvest came, most of Luling County rioted, terrified the gentry in Jishui County next door.

    Today, they have recruited more than 1,000 village braves.

    The country gentry who participated in the recruitment all brought their money and food, and moved their families to live in the county town, leaving only minorities and domestic slaves in the village.

    "Brother Chang, you have to contact the governor to suppress the bandits!" The person who spoke was named Li Chun'an, the son of Li Rixuan, the prime minister of Dali Temple, and also the grandnephew of Li Banghua.

    Zhou Ruixu said worriedly: "Governor Li is currently suppressing thieves in Duchang. I'm afraid he won't be able to go south until the beginning of spring."

    Next to him was a scholar named Li Musheng, the son of Li Yuanding, the head of the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials, and also the nephew of Li Banghua.

    There are a lot of scholars here, for the son of Luo Wanjue, the elder brother of the prefect Shi Fengyuan, and so on.  There are also those who escaped from Luling County, such as Hu Yilong's brother in the incident, etc. Those who have family members who are officials in the court will not easily compromise.

    ?They took more than a thousand village braves, supported them with their own food, and defended Jishui County by virtue of the danger of the Ganjiang River.

    Until the evening, before the rebels came to attack the city, the crowd finally dispersed, leaving some soldiers on duty to guard.

    The next day, news came that the rebels were sweeping the villages and towns, and the leader was Li Banghua!

    Everyone was silent, Li Banghua was a thief, it was too unimaginable, they all thought it was fake news.

    In front of the brothers of the Li family, many gentry did not dare to speak out, so they got together in private and scolded the eighteen generations of Li Banghua's ancestors.

    Li Musheng quietly approached Li Chun'an: "Brother, my uncle has become a high-ranking anti-thief official, why don't we go and follow the thieves too."

    "Asshole!"

    Li Chun'an yelled: "Your father, my father, are both officials of the court. If we follow the thief, father will go to prison. You are going to be a disloyal and unfilial person!"

    Li Musheng said with a bitter face: "If we don't go back to our hometown, all the property will be divided among the rebels."

    "What about dividing the land?" Li Chun'an sneered, "The money and food have been brought out. As long as there are people in the court, are you afraid that there will be no land in the future?"

    Li Musheng sighed and said: "The rebels are fierce, I am afraid the governor will not be able to wipe them out, so what should I do then?"

    Li Chun'an scolded: "Don't talk nonsense again, can bandits Zhao still take over the country?"

    Li Musheng remained silent. His family had the most property, which was tens of thousands of acres of land, which was saved by several generations!

    Gucun, Li's family.

    "Kneel down!"

    Li Tingjian was trembling with anger, pointed at his son with a cane and yelled.

    Li Banghua knelt down obediently, and said to his subordinates: "When you go to work, divide my field first, and tie it up if anyone blocks it."

    Li Tingjian was dumbfounded, and said with a shocked face: "You traitor, have you been poured into the soup? You are nothing more than a traitor, and you even brought the traitor to divide your own land!"

    Li Banghua sighed and said, "Father, do you still remember how grandma was buried?"

    "At that time, my family was poor, and everything was kept simple," Li Tingjian sighed. "The children and grandchildren were incompetent, so the elders could only be buried in straw wrapped in straw, hiding from the neighbors in the village. But after you became rich, you chose a place with a good geomantic omen to make your elders look good.  Relocating and burying once can be regarded as worthy of the ancestors."

    Li Banghua asked again: "Father, do you remember that there were only a few acres of land left in the family back then? Now there are more than a thousand acres."

    Li TingIn a panic, he didn't choose his way, and couldn't find where his boat was.

    Huang Yao ran into a group of enemies and fled frantically along the bank.  He didn't care about the soldiers under his command, so he sped up with his long legs and rushed to the enemy's back alone.

    "kill!"

    Huang Yao yelled to embolden himself, and shot the enemy in the back.

    The townspeople were so frightened that they didn't know how many pursuers were behind them, they all ran forward in the dark with their heads covered.

    "The boat is over there!"

    By the moonlight, Xiang Yong shouted.

    "kill!"

    Huang Yao chased after him and stabbed another one.

    The villagers panicked and climbed into the boat, only to see that Huang Yao was alone.  But they didn't dare to fight back, because there were more pursuers in the distance.

    "kill!"

    Huang Yao poked the third one.

    "Pull me up quickly!"

    "I haven't boarded yet, so don't sail."

    "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, it's about to flip over."

    ""

    There were six small boats here, and in a panic, only two managed to escape back to the other side.

    Many Xiangyong simply jumped into the water and escaped. Huang Yao stood on the bank and stabbed two more to death.

    ? In the early morning of the next day, Li Banghua came in a hurry and saw the burnt houses and the corpses of the tenants, and stood there silently for a long time.

    "Can the dead be counted?" Li Banghua asked.

    Huang Yao replied: "The thieves raided six villages at night. They did not rob money and food, but murdered and set fire. None of the people we brought were injured or injured. But the farmers in Jishui County, including children, a total of 358 people were killed.  Kill. The thieves ran fast, we only killed 21 and captured 6 alive."

    Li Banghua sighed: "Oh, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later." &lt;/div&gt

 Body 135 [The Great Filial Piety]

    In front of the eyes, five flowers are tied up, and six prisoners are kneeling.

    Zhao Han ignored Xiangyong, looked at the gentry, and said with a sneer, "That's right, he's still wearing silk clothes to attack at night."

    "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty!" Zhong Xingpu kowtowed in fright.

    Historically, this guy was a Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen. In the 17th year of Chongzhen, he first surrendered to Li Chuang, then to the Qing Dynasty, and finally became the governor of Shandong in the Qing Dynasty.

    The bones are not very hard.

    Zhao Han seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be talking to Zhong Xingpu: "What's the use of killing the peasants? Even if you want to attack at night, you should kill the soldiers I sent."

    There was no torture or even interrogation at all. Zhong Xingpu began to confess by himself: "Your Majesty's rebels have strict military discipline, and they are not easy to mess with at first glance. They also sent sentries. We were afraid that we would not be able to attack at night, and we would be surrounded by soldiers instead  "

    "So, you attack the villages along the river, kill a few farmers and run away?" Zhao Han was extremely angry.

    Zhong Xingpu said: "It was Hu Zhengsong's idea. He said to kill more peasants. Killing the peasants would make them afraid, and those who were alive would not dare to divide the land."

    Zhao Han asked, "Who is Hu Zhengsong?"

    Zhong Xingpu has no psychological burden for betraying his teammates: "Hu Zhengsong's hometown is in Baishui Village, Luling County, and his family's land has also been divided. He also wants to lead troops to attack the villages and towns in Luling County at night, but the distance is too far, and others are afraid that they will not be able to return.  Come on, just cross the river and kill a few."

    "Does Hu Zhengsong still have family members in Luling County?" Zhao Han asked.

    "Yes," Zhong Xingpu replied, "his father, his mother, and his two nephews all stayed in Luling County, and each left twenty acres of land."

    "This is the landlord who offered to donate his land," Zhao Han said to the people around him. "Immediately send an order to Baishui Village to send all the males of the Hu family over twelve years old to burn lime in the mountains. The female relatives are in the town.  Go to reform through labor, and the children will be brought up in nursing homes!"

    Zhong Xingpu became more and more terrified when he heard it, trembling all over, and kowtowed frantically: "My lord, spare me, my lord, spare me!"

    Zhao Han asked: "How many soldiers are there in Jishui County?"

    Zhong Xingpu said: "There are more than a thousand brave people in the village, all of whom are slaves and sons of good families."

    "How long have you practiced?" Zhao Han asked again.

    "Thousands of brave men were recruited one after another," Zhong Xingpu replied, "some of them practiced for two months, and some only practiced for a few days."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Who is the leader?"

    Zhong Xingpu said: "Zhou Ruixu, last year he was the doctor of the Department of Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials, and this spring Ding You went home to observe the funeral."

    "Who is Zhou Mengyang?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhong Xingpu replied: "It's his clan uncle who died of illness last year."

    Li Banghua recommended several talents to Zhao Han, including Zhou Mengyang.  This person is an expert in water conservancy. In view of the mess of water conservancy across the country, he specially compiled a book called "Preparation for the Ministry of Water", which has become a must-have book for water conservancy officials in Ming Dynasty.

    It's a pity that Zhou Mengyang died of illness, and his nephew and grandson took the lead in fighting against Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han waved his hand: "Bring these people back to Jishui for trial."

    "Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!" Zhong Xingpu was dragged out, already so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were tearing apart, tears and snot burst out.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Leave this person behind."

    Zhong Xingpu lay limp on the ground, his crotch was already wet, lying there like a dog, looking at Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han smelled urine, frowned and said, "Take it out and watch!"

    Only one of us is left in the house.

    Huang Yao knelt down and said, "General Town, I have neglected my duty, and I ask for punishment."

    Zhao Han asked: "Where did you neglect your duty?"

    Huang Yao replied: "More people should be sent to guard the river."

    "It's not your fault," Zhao Han said, shaking his head. "In Jishui, the riverside line is very long. How can your people defend against it? Go back and tell Chen Maosheng and Xiao Huan to form the Jishui Farmers Association as soon as possible. Mobilize Jishui  The local farmers, every family and every household have people watching by the river. Whether it is day or night, even children can watch the river. We have to rely on the people, and the people are the foundation."

    "Your subordinates will remember." Huang Yao said.

    Zhao Han frowned and said, "Stand up, don't just kneel at every turn. If you make a mistake, you make a mistake. Why do you kneel? By the way, leave five hundred people in Jishui, and the rest will follow me to attack the city."

    "Siege?" Huang Yao asked doubtfully.

    Zhao Han suddenly stood up: "Has killed hundreds of farmers, is it just exposed?"

    Two days later, Zhao Han personally led more than 2,000 soldiers, and took a boat to the outside of Jishui County on the opposite bank.  The navy of Gujianshan also completely blocked the pier.

    &nbspThen, he took off his belt and hanged himself.

    ?Since the collapse of the Three Views, Zhou Ruibao has long since died, and what was alive before was nothing but walking dead.

    The next day, outside the city.

    Zhao Han used semi-coercive methods to persuade the residents who were closer to the city wall to pay them money and food, and then asked the residents to move out before demolishing their houses.

    Seeing that the rebels were demolishing houses, it was obvious that they were preparing to attack the city, and the gentry and village warriors in the city were even more frightened.

    However, they still did not dare to go out of the city to attack and kill. They only threw rolling stones and logs to delay the demolition of houses by the rebels.

    The gentry quarreled, some said to stick to it, some said to attack at night, and some said to go out directly.  There were too many people leading them, no one could hold the scene, and they even argued endlessly over which section of the city wall to defend—Zhao Hanwei wanted to defend the missing section of the city wall.

    night.

    Li Musheng tried hard to persuade: "Brother, this county can't be defended anymore. When the rebels finish demolishing the houses in the city, they will build siege equipment. Governor Li's reinforcements may not come until next year. What's the matter with our Xiangyong?"  Let’s open the door and offer the city. Uncle is a high-ranking official of the rebels, and the rebels seem to be able to accomplish things. We all go to serve the rebels, and we will be rich and prosperous in the future.”

    "Your father is the head of the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials," Li Chun'an sneered, "How dare you follow a thief for such an important position?"

    Li Musheng said in a low voice: "This is the life of the whole family. I can only I can only feel sorry for my father." Suddenly, Li Musheng became excited again, "I sent my slaves to the capital last year, and I also wrote a letter to ask Jiangxi to inspect the censor.  , but the imperial court didn’t take Zhao thief seriously. If the imperial court paid attention to it early, how could Zhao thief become so big?”

    Li Chun'an sarcastically said: "You don't want a father, but I still want a father. My father is the prime minister of Dali Temple!"

    Li Musheng sarcastically said: "In your eyes, you only have father, and you don't have mother and grandmother? Once the rebels break through the city, the whole family will die, and the whole family will perish! Can these village braves defend the city?  I was scared to death. Besides, when the villages were attacked that night, our boats scattered and were swept downstream by the river, and none of the farmers were killed. We didn’t have blood on our hands, and we made great contributions to the city, and our uncle was a traitor.  The thief official will definitely be reused by the Zhao thief in the future!"

    "I'll think about it again." Li Chun'an was also torn between whether he should want his father, or his mother and grandmother.  Of course, there is also his own life.

    "What else are you thinking about?" Li Musheng asked anxiously, "If this continues, the rebels will attack the city, and the whole family will be wiped out!"

    Li Chun'an's head hurt from being told, he hesitated for a long time and stomped his feet: "That's all, that's all!"

    For the people of the clan, go to die, Dad.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 136 [Saturation Dedication]

    Outside the city, the barracks.

    Liu Fang, the government affairs secretary, walked into the commander's tent and handed a letter to Zhao Han: "General town, urgent report from Fucheng."

    Zhao Han opened the letter, read it and put it down, frowning thoughtfully.

    Everyone didn't dare to speak out, thinking that something big happened in Fucheng.

    Zhao Han thought for a while, and seeing the serious atmosphere in the account, he smiled and said, "What are you doing?"

    Xiao Huan couldn't help asking: "But is there a riot in Fucheng?"

    "It's not that people are in chaos," Zhao Han sighed. "It's that many homeless people are farmers who lost their land and went to the city. They heard that they can divide their fields, and now they are clamoring to go back to the countryside. Once these people leave, the city will be destroyed."  If it is paralyzed, the pier may not even find a coolie."

    Xiao Huan suddenly smiled and said: "Congratulations to the town, congratulations to the town!"

    "Speak if you have something to say, fart if you have something to say, and you don't have to f*ck around me." Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and cursing.

    Xiao Huan quickly said: "The vagrants in the city are eager to return to their hometowns. Don't they all want the general town, thinking that the general town can win the country? This is what the people want!"

    "Congratulations to the town, congratulations to the town!" Civil and military officials shouted one after another.

    Zhao Han was not in the mood to accept their flattery, because he said: "Cities around the world rely on homeless people to operate. Many homeless people have been living in cities for generations. Although they have no household registration, some are hawkers, some are coolies, some are  The city cannot do without them. These people are clamoring to go back to the countryside to divide the land, and it is not good to agree, and it is not good to not agree. This is a big problem."

    Xiao Huan also became serious, and thought carefully: "It's better to issue two types of household registration, one for urban household registration and the other for rural household registration. Only rural household registration can divide the land."

    Zhao Han shook his head and said: "One person's wisdom is short, and everyone's strengths are considered. This matter needs to be brainstormed, and we will discuss it in detail in a future meeting. Today, let's discuss how to attack the city."

    Huang Yao said: "Jishui County is so big, how can more than a thousand townsmen be able to defend it? First pretend to attack a few places by force, and then send people to attack other places and beat them down!"

    "That would definitely cause a lot of casualties." Zhao Han said.

    "How can anyone survive in a war?" Huang Yao muttered.

    Zhao Han smiled. He was not afraid of death, but he felt it was worthless to die in a siege.

    Jishui County is even more difficult to attack than Ji'an Prefecture.

    The Ganjiang River is to the west and the Enjiang River is to the south. The terrain outside the city is very narrow.  Fortunately, the defenders did not have bows and arrows, otherwise they would not be able to display their troops at all. In that case, they would have to land and attack from a ship.

    The east side is still close to Taiping Mountain. If there are three thousand regular troops in the city, two thousand will be used to defend the city, and one thousand will form a stronghold at the foot of the mountain.  .

    During the Zhengde period, a city was built here, and the earth wall became a masonry wall.

    In the second year of Tianqi, urns were built outside the city gates, making it impossible to invade from the city gates.

    Really, even if there were 500 regular troops in the city, Zhao Han would not dare to show off his might.  The city wall here is 5.5 meters higher than the city wall of Fucheng. No wonder the gentry fled here!

    It's just a county seat, so it's necessary to build it so luxuriously?

    "Ican the villain talk?" Zhong Xingpu, who was so frightened that he peed his pants, couldn't hold back his desire to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds.

    "Let's talk," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Bringing you to discuss the matter is to let you tell more about the situation in the city."

    Zhong Xingpu shrank his head and said: "In fact, there is no need to attack by force, just build siege equipment every day. If you spread the Tianzheng of the rebel army, at most ten days and a half months, someone will open the door to offer the city."

    "Why is that so?" Xiao Huan asked.

    Zhong Xingpu explained in detail: "There are twenty-eight gentry families who have fled into the city. Each family has at least seven or eight people, and as many as twenty or thirty people, with maids and servants, and money and food accumulated by several generations.  Wealth. There are more than a thousand townspeople, most of these townspeople are from good families, and the whole family has fled to the city, and they don't know how the rebel army is doing. "

    "People are not in harmony?" Xiao Huan asked.

    "It's not just that the hearts of the people are not in harmony," Zhong Xingpu said. "Tens of thousands of people with their families and children poured in at once. These days, there are constant disputes every day. We only need to surround the city. The gentry and the rich have enough food, but the city  The small and medium-sized people are suffering, and the grain merchants will definitely take the opportunity to raise prices. There are also vegetables and meat, which cannot be transported in."

    Zhao Han has already understood.

    The enemy in the city is the reactionary forces headed by twenty-eight gentry families and supplemented by more than a thousand good families.  Not only did they come by themselves, but they also brought their families with them, and they were even accompanied by servants. The total population of all kinds was tens of thousands.

    The gentry can't live a hard life, and the good families follow suit. Tens of thousands of people really can't be settled, so they simply doveMost of them were originally deceived," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Except for those big landlords, how could I have treated a good family badly?  "

    East of the city.

    Li Musheng said in a low voice: "Brother, do it. If you don't do it, these brave men will rebel."

    "Wait a little longer," Li Chun'an said, "when the rebels start attacking the city, we will turn our backs, and we will surely seize the door and sacrifice the city with ease."

    Li Musheng said: "Looking at this, the rebels haven't planned to attack the city yet, and they probably will shout at the city for several days. I'm afraid that if they shout and shout, Xiangyong will sacrifice the city spontaneously, and we will lose the merit of dedicating the city by then."  .”

    "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Li Chun'an felt that it was too dangerous, and was afraid that half of Xiancheng would be killed by the gentry.

    "Kill!"

    Suddenly there was a shout of killing from the north of the city.

    Li Musheng was shocked: "Brother, I'm afraid the Liu family has dedicated the city, we are already one step too late!"

    "These bastards surnamed Liu were still gnashing their teeth at the rebels yesterday." Li Chunan was furious.

    "Don't talk so much, it's important to dedicate the city to grab credit." Li Musheng said anxiously.

    While they were talking, a section of the city wall near them, the gentry of the Zou family suddenly shouted: "My sons and daughters, the court is not benevolent and unrighteous, and they all follow me!"

    The Zou family is also a big family. There is an ancestor named Zou Shouyi, Wang Yangming's favorite disciple, the Jishui Zou family moved from Anfu County.

    Li Musheng became even more anxious, and suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "My uncle is a rebelhe is Mr. Zhao's high-ranking official. Come and kill the official and rebel with me, and you will definitely be able to seal your wife and son in the future!"

    In a blink of an eye, three of the twenty-eight gentry families defected, all of whom were not stained with the blood of the peasants that night.

    These guys are not sincerely following the thief, but out of the consideration of continuing the family.  At this moment, the morale of the army is floating, how can they defend the city?  Then simply do it in advance and save your own people.

    The mere three gentry families, in terms of quantity, naturally cannot beat the remaining twenty-five families.

    However, more than a thousand recruits were temporarily recruited in the city, and they turned against each other under the leadership of a few gangsters and the head of the workshop.

    The soldiers who turned against the city have surpassed the soldiers who defended the city!

    Zhong Xingpu rushed out of the city in a hurry, snatched the cardboard trumpet from the missionary officer, and shouted loudly: "Father, brother, I am Xingpu. I have already surrendered. Hurry up anyway, don't let the Zhong family have  The catastrophe of extermination!"

    Zhao Han looked at the messy city wall and said with a smile, "Siege." &lt;/div&gt

 Body 137 [PUA Master] (addition for leader "Mr. Hello Fu")

    ,

    Zou Mengwen rushed forward with his sword in hand, and shouted: "Jin Qing, you are rebelling too!"

    Liu Tongsheng looked around in a daze. The rebels hadn't reached the city yet, but more and more gentry defected.  Even the Xiangyong recruited by himself shouted "Kaicheng" one after another, and a few Xiangyong even surrounded him.

    "Clan brother (Master), turn it back!"

    The tribe and slaves surrounded Liu Tongsheng. If he dared to say no, he would be tied up immediately.

    Most of these tribesmen are small landlords and self-cultivating farmers, and only one is a big landlord.  These house slaves are also waiting to surrender to the thieves to divide the land.  They were just thinking about their old relationship, they didn't take action directly, they wanted to coerce Liu Tongsheng to lead the crowd to defect.

    "That's all, that's all!"

    Liu Tongsheng, who was supposed to be the champion in three years' time, was forced to abandon his sword at this moment. Now he can only save his family first.

    The Zou family, the Liu family, and the Li family all defected and quickly occupied an entire section of the city wall. There was also a Liu family defecting to the north.  As long as they are not attacked, they will not continue to attack. They are all villagers, who is willing to fight to the death.

    Therefore, don't see the lively fighting everywhere, in fact, the casualties are negligible.

    ? Zou Mengwen's grandfather was Zou Yuanbiao, who was Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Officials during his lifetime. After his death, he was given the posthumous posthumous title of "Zhongjie" by the Crown Prince Taibao and Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

    And Liu Tongsheng is Zou Yuanbiao's student and Tang Xianzu's son-in-law.

    Although this group of gentry had conflicts with each other, they formed a huge network of relationships.

    Even if they follow the thieves, their minds are not pure, and they have three thoughts: first, if the Zhao thieves can succeed, these gentry will form gangs and become the heroes of the new dynasty; second, if the Zhao thieves are defeated  First, these gentry will look for opportunities to jump back and turn around again through the relationship with the court; third, temporarily hold on to the lives of the whole family, and cannot ruin the future of the family.

    Even Wang Siren, who was suppressing bandits in Duchang, was a disciple of Liu Tongsheng's father (deceased).

    Liu Tongsheng looked around and found several gentry committing suicide.  They all slaughtered farmers with their own hands. They wanted to use their own lives to preserve the continuation of the entire family.

    The family is bigger than itself, bigger than the land, bigger than money, bigger than the court!

    Zhao Han is not a Tartar, but a rebel, they don't need to ruin the whole family.  Only when a foreign race like the Manchu Qing came, many gentry would raise their families to rebel and donate all their properties to recruit soldiers to fight against the Qing.

    Of course, there are also those who are greedy for life and afraid of death, relying on taking refuge in the Qing court to keep their wealth.

    For example, in history, Li Musheng’s father, Li Yuanding, defected to the Manchus in the second year after Li Banghua died for his country. His uncle (Li Banghua) was still alive—the Li family published several ministers in the Qing Dynasty!

    "Welcome Mr. Zhao!"

    The gates of the city are wide open, those who are shameless will kneel down to greet them, and those who are shameless will stand and bow.

    There were also some guys whose hands were stained with the blood of the peasants, who wanted to commit suicide but could not do so. They all knelt in front of Zhao Han, hoping to save a dog's life by luck.

    Zhao Han stood at the gate of the city, glanced at him and said, "Please stand up and go to my left!"

    A total of nine people got up one after another and stood on Zhao Han's left.

    Liu Tongsheng really wanted to commit an assassination, but he was afraid of hurting his family, so he could only stand in line full of resentment.

    "I heard there are Jinshi?" Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Zhou Ruixu stepped forward with his head held high, cupped his hands and said, "Zhou Ruixu, the word length."

    Zhao Han asked: "What job did you do before you returned to your hometown?"

    Zhou Ruixu said: "Wenxuan Division Doctor."

    "This is a fat job." Zhao Han said with emotion.

    ?The Minister of Wenxuan of the Ministry of Officials can appoint local officials below the fourth rank without the approval of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, including the appointment of prefects from all over the country!

    ? Zhou Ruixu replied: "I have just taken up my post and I haven't started work yet, so Ding You returned to my hometown."

    This person's official career can be described as bizarre. Before he became the doctor of Wenxuan Division, he was just a small county magistrate.  Suddenly, he fell into the eyes of the emperor, and he was personally promoted to be the doctor of Wenxuan Division, but he went home to attend the funeral without sitting on his buttocks.

    Zhao Han asked: "You took the lead this time?"

    "yes."

    Zhou Ruixu bit the bullet and admitted that, in fact, it was only because of his high official status that he was publicly elected as the nominal leader.  Including the attack and killing of farmers that night, many gentry discussed it, and then forced Zhou Ruixu to take the lead in sending troops.

    Zhao Han asked: "Did you get blood on your hands that night?"

    "I did, but I didn't." Zhou Ruixu replied.

    Zhao Han scolded: "Speak clearly!"

    Zhou Ruixu said: "I can't bear to kill innocent people. But my soldiers killed more than a dozen?? implicating family members.

    However, why do you feel so happy while being wronged?

    With the help of the king, it is better than a hundred thousand elite soldiers. This made Yang Zhong feel a little elated.

    Zhao Han said to Yang Zhong again: "Well, I'm afraid I have to wrong you. To do things under me, you must start from a small official and a small position, and everything depends on your political achievements to get promoted. Those who are willing to do things and those who are able to do things will be promoted quickly.  , would you like to be an experience (document) for the General Military Mansion?"

    "I will do my best!" Yang Zhong also entered the state. Anyway, he has already been a thief, so he should do it well.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Han laughed and turned to look at the crowd.

    This good show of "the monarch and his ministers are suitable" unexpectedly made some scholars feel itchy, especially those scholars who couldn't pass the exam.

    A scholar suddenly jumped out, bowed his hands and said: "Zong Zongzhen is thirsty for talents and respects corporals. He is really a wise master. I am too late to be talented. I would like to recommend myself to help the town to divide the land. Please start from the Guo family's field!"

    "Great kindness, please get up quickly, Mr. Guo." Zhao Han stepped forward to support him.

    All the gentry gritted their teeth, this guy surnamed Guo is too cunning.  There was only one Jinshi in his family's ancestors, and the neighbors were all big families, occupying only a few thousand acres of land, but the business was booming.

    As long as this guy is with Zhao Han, he will not be afraid of dividing the land at all, and it will be more conducive to doing business!

    "Let's go, the two of you will follow me into the city." Zhao Han held one in each hand, as if holding the young lover he just hooked up with.

    Li Musheng knelt down suddenly, and Li Chunan also knelt down: "Mr. Li of Gu Village, I would like to do my best for the town!"

    Zou Mengwen also brought his clan brothers to kneel down: "The Zou family of the East Gate is willing to do a great job for the general town!"

    Needless to say, the Li family, Li Banghua has long been a thief. Even if the Li family brothers did not follow the thief, their fathers would probably be implicated.

    Zou Mengwen has no psychological burden. His grandfather, Zou Yuanbiao, is Zhang Juzheng's right-hand man for the reform.  But since the death of his grandfather, the Zou family has never had a Jinshi, so maybe they can still prosper if they voted for the rebels.

    "I would like to do my best for the general town!"

    A large group of people suddenly fell to their knees at the gate of the city, and they all wanted to sneak into the anti-thief team to do things, and adapt to the situation in the future.

    Liu Tongsheng could only kneel down. It is hard to say whether he can be recruited, but he will definitely not be able to take the number one prize.

 Text 138 [Occupying Three Counties]

    ,

    "Tie Zhao, you must die!"

    "Mr. Zhao, please spare me!"

    On the second day Zhao Han entered the city, a few more gentry were dragged out.

    They were all paralyzed by Zhao Han. Corporal Lixian's good performance did not mean that the murderer was let go.

    When receiving the soldiers, I asked them by the way.

    The clansmen generally don't expose them, and basically all have read books. There are many schoolchildren in ordinary township braves, and they are one from a certain point of view.

    However, the house slaves have no psychological burden. Those who are slightly nostalgic expose other masters, and those who are not nostalgic directly confess to their own masters.  They heard that Zhao Han was also born as a domestic slave, and they were going to distribute fields to them, and they immediately felt that Zhao Han was their own.

    "General Town" Yang Zhong hesitated to speak, and stayed by Zhao Han's side for the time being.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Let's talk."

    Yang Zhong bit the bullet and advised: "Brother Zhang Chang (Zhou Ruixu) didn't kill anyone himself, he was a Jinshi, why not spare his life to serve the general town?"

    Zhao Han looked at Xiao Huan: "You explain to him."

    Xiao Huan rolled up his sleeves and smiled: "Brother Da Lu, Zongzhen has always followed his word. If he says he wants to kill the culprit, he will definitely kill the culprit. Although Zhou Ruixu didn't kill anyone himself, he led troops across the river to attack at night.  He is the chief evil among the chief evils! Could it be that you want Zong Zhen to break his promise?"

    "well……"

    Yang Zhong has nothing to say, he is just sad because he is a scholar after all.

    Zhao Han was delighted to recover so many gentry at once, including eight Juren.  However, these gentry have ulterior motives, and Zhao Han prefers those brave men.

    Most of the townspeople are good sons, with a literacy rate of over 50%!

    For the small landlords and self-cultivators in Jiangxi, it is certain that more than half of them read books, not to mention that every family reads books.  Although there are people who have only been educated for two or three years because of their poor families, they can at least recognize a few hundred characters.

    ?Beating Xie Xuelong last year, Zhao Han captured hundreds of Xiangyong, and he has already enjoyed a wave of bonuses.

    After receiving real benefits, many of those village braves have been transformed into grassroots cadres, which have become Zhao Han's important ruling foundation.

    "General Town, Mr. Li sent it." Secretary Liu Fang sent a report.

    After Zhao Han read it carefully, he handed it to Xiao Huan.

    After watching it, Xiao Huan said with a smile: "If you can act according to this strategy, the general town will definitely win the hearts of the people!"

    Zhao Han's original site was relatively barren and relatively remote.  Therefore, the literacy rate and land occupation rate of Liangjiazi are far lower than those in the eastern part of Luling County and Jishui County.

    Li Banghua did not participate in the division of land in Luling County, but after getting the fish scale book, he already had concerns in his heart.  Now, Li Banghua presided over the subfield in Jishui again, and soon handed Zhao Han a big data report.

    ?Owner farmers and small landlords, who can send their children to study, occupy more than three acres of land per capita.

    ? According to the previous standard of land distribution, although the reduction of taxes and taxes can benefit good families, it is far less intuitive than more land distribution.  Li Banghua suggested that the per capita land distribution can be increased to four mu, so that good families will completely fall to Zhao Han, because most of them can also pick up land for nothing.

    Of course, there is not so much arable land to divide at this stage, but we can make big pies for tenants, self-cultivated farmers, and small landlords, and make up for them when the land expands in the future.

    In addition, the counties of Luling and Jishui both have many mountains and little land, so the common people can be called on to reclaim the mountainous land for planting sweet potatoes and other crops.  In this way, it can not only strengthen the organization of the peasant association, but also increase the area of ??cultivated land under the control. The people allocated to the mountainous land will be given more fields, and the newly opened mountainous land can be exempted from tax for five years.

    Zhao Han appreciated Li Banghua's suggestion very much. If four acres of land were allocated per capita, the loyalty of self-cultivating farmers and small landlords would be reaped, and Zhao Han would have countless more literate people.  It's a pity that the area of ??cultivated land in Jiangxi is too small.  Take Jishui County as an example, only one tenth of the land can be cultivated, and the rest is either mountains or water!

    After careful consideration, Zhao Han made two decisions:

    First, for all the people in the area under the jurisdiction, the per capita land allocation has increased to three mu.  The inherent land of small and large landlords is capped at 20 mu per capita, and those that do not exceed 20 mu are not allowed to be confiscated.  This is tantamount to dividing up the land basically, and the land occupied by the government can be ignored.

    Second, let the farmers organize the people to reclaim wasteland, first to strengthen the peasant association, and second to increase the cultivated land.  As for the soil erosion in the mountains, let's not talk about that for now.

    Zhao Han's decision was quickly passed on, and the people in the area under his jurisdiction rejoiced.

    Not to mention the former tenants and self-cultivators, even some small landlords, they all devoted their allegiance to Zhao Han.  Don't look at those small landlords, their families have dozens of acres of land, but their peopleTo invite credit, take the initiative to tie up Guo Qiao, the county magistrate.

    In Chengnan County School, a group of scholars rushed to the county government with weapons in their hands, shouting to kill thieves and serve the country.

    After running for two streets, there were only a dozen or so scholars left who continued to charge.

    When rushing to the county government office, there were only a few people left.

    Facing the wolf-like rebels, several scholars looked at each other, and suddenly someone knelt down and shouted: "I am here to congratulate the general for winning the city!"

    Fei Ruhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sarcastically said: "You are quite quick-witted, so come and help me."

    "Willing to serve the general." The scholars were all flattered.

    Two or three steps away from Fei Ruhe, a scholar suddenly drew his sword: "The villain will die!"

    Even without Fei Ruhe's move, the soldiers around him had already fired their guns, and three long spears pierced the man's body.

    Fei Ruhe sneered: "Who else? Come along."

    "Don't dare, dare not!" The scholars knelt down in horror.

    In this regard, Zhao Han took Anfu County and completely occupied the three counties of Luling, Jishui, and Anfu.

    Huang Shunfu was appointed magistrate of Luling County, Ouyang Zheng was appointed magistrate of Jishui County, and Zuo Xiaoliang was appointed magistrate of Anfu County.

    ?There is no magistrate for the time being, and the three counties are all under the administration of the General Military Mansion. Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, Fei Chun and others are all civilian officials of the General Military Mansion.

    In the north, Li Maofang, the governor, and Wang Siren, the military commander, are still working hard to suppress bandits, and have surrounded Duchang County for half a month.

 Body 139【Trivia】

    Zhao Han's residence was changed again and became Ji'an government office.

    It was too late to engrave the lintel plaque, so he turned over the plaque of the government office, and wrote "General Military Administration" on the back with a red pen.

    It may seem ridiculous at first glance, but no one will question the authority of the master inside because of this signboard!

    "Sir, please drink tea!"

    Xiyue brought tea, and Fei Rulan made it for Pang Chunlai herself.

    "Okay." Pang Chunlai said cheerfully.

    In the entire backyard of the military headquarters, apart from Zhao Han and his wife, only Pang Chunlai moved in with him.

    This old gentleman has no children. He is not only Zhao Han's teacher, but also Zhao Han's adoptive father. He has been living under the same roof since the incident.

    Zhao Han blew the tea foam, leaned back on the chair comfortably, drank tea and enjoyed the sunset in late autumn.

    Fei Rulan suddenly said: "Mr. is only in his fifties and only has a maid by his side. Why don't you marry a wife to take care of you?"

    Pang Chunlai shook his head and said, "If you are old, you won't be tired of others."

    Zhao Han suddenly put down his teacup and said, "There is that stubborn landlord who has to raise his troops to fight against the division of land. After ransacking the house, there are also some children. Why not choose a young child, two or three years old, and the husband can adopt it to continue the incense.  .”

    "Well" Pang Chunlai was a little moved.

    He used to think only about rebellion and had no other distracting thoughts.  Now that the cause of rebellion is on the right track, although he has no intention of marrying a wife and starting a family, he still hopes to have an heir—Pang Chunlai's whole family was killed by the Tartars.

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "Then it's decided, choose a bright and bright child, and invite a nurse to feed it."

    "So that's fine." Pang Chunlai was so happy that he even thought about naming the child.

    After Pang Chunlai was overjoyed, Zhao Han suddenly asked: "About the urban homeless, many think tanks have written letters to discuss. Each has their own opinions, and they can't agree on what to do. What do you think, sir?"

    "How else can you look at it? There is no land to divide at all," Pang Chunlai said. "There are still many homeless people who have multiplied in the county for several generations. They don't know how to farm for a long time. I agree with Xiao Huan's proposal.  Household registration, one is rural household registration, and the other is urban household registration."

    Zhao Han's brain hurts from this matter, he really can't think of any good way, and the same is true of the think tanks under his command.

    Fortunately, there is no need to worry for the time being, because the homeless people in Ji'an Fucheng joined the army in large numbers last winter, and followed Zhao Han to the countryside to divide the land.  As a result, there is a shortage of urban labor, which not only makes it easier to find work, but also increases wages.  Even the hawkers who sell things are doing better business than before because of fewer competitors.

    Many of the vagrants in Jishui County were recruited by the gentry to defend the city. When Zhao Han attacked the city, he had promised to share the land with the soldiers who turned against him.  The remaining nomads, in the absence of competitors, can also raise their incomes.

    As for Anfu County, the county seat is not that prosperous. Conscripting 200 vagrants into the army can also ease the conflicts among vagrants.

    All are temporary policies, which can only ensure employment as much as possible.

    In many cities in the south of the Ming Dynasty, the reason why there were many gang organizations was that there were too many unemployed people, which led to a large number of idle youths going to the gangs.

    When fighting for hegemony in the country, you can recruit vagrants as soldiers, or even recruit gangsters as soldiers.  You can't recruit too many at a time, you have to disperse them among the troops, and mix a few of the two or three hundred people, and gradually assimilate the ruffians.

    As for the unification of the whole country, urban gangsters will directly immigrate.

    Aren't you guys good at fighting?

    Go to Qiongzhou (Hainan) and Dongfan (Taiwan) first, and fight with the natives on the islands. These two islands can accommodate millions of people.

    Not to mention, there is the infinitely vast overseas land!

    After chatting for a while, Pang Chunlai suddenly asked, "Is there any news about Zhong Cong?"

    Zhong Cong is Xu Ying, Pang Chunlai took the name, and that is his real son in his heart.

    "Not yet, Nanchang is not easy to mess with, I only gave him a few hundred taels of silver. The store can be sold, but it depends on whether there are vacancies." Zhao Han laughed.

    Pang Chunlai was a little unhappy: "Actually, Zhong Cong can be transferred back. Not to mention being a magistrate, it is also possible to work as a civilian in the General Military Administration."

    Zhao Han shook his head: "I am of great use to Brother Xu."

    The use of hell is nothing more than intelligence chiefs.

    Pang Chunlai felt very sorry for Xu Ying, and he was even more afraid that in the future when the country was established, the intelligence chief would be easily wiped out by the emperor.

    At the same time, Pang Chunlai also wanted to train Xu Ying and become a great help for his subordinates.

    Regardless of the fact that there are only three counties now, there are already signs of factions in the interior.

    One is the elder faction, that is, the people Zhao Han brought from Qianshan Mountain, and officials from Huangjia Town and its surrounding areas.

    &n"Law" can be governed.

    There is no clan in his territory, and he does not recognize the official position of the Ming Dynasty, so as long as the concubines are willing, they can go to the government to tell each other.  They must all be illegal concubines!

    If you win one, there will definitely be a second or a third. Now the big families in the whole city do not allow concubines to go out alone.

    After Xiao Huan left, Fei Rulan sat in Zhao Han's arms and asked with a smile, "Aren't you taking a concubine?"

    "Can I still take the lead in breaking the rules?" Zhao Han asked back.

    "How about becoming emperor?" Fei Rulan asked.

    Zhao Han couldn't answer: "Let's talk about it later."

    Aside from the emperor's personal preferences, the Sangong Sixth Court and the like are more like political tasks.  It is nothing more than spreading seeds widely and ensuring that there is an heir, which can greatly improve the stability of the country.

    Even if the emperor favors a certain concubine when he has no children, he will be advised by officials.

    Fei Rulan touched her lower abdomen and muttered, "It's been almost half a year since I had sex, why haven't I conceived yet?"

    "Ma'am, don't worry," Zhao Han said with a thief, "I will definitely work hard tonight"

    "Headquarters!"

    Someone outside the hospital suddenly reported.

    Fei Rulan stood up quickly, and Zhao Han could only sigh.

    He stipulated that officials have a rest every five days, but he himself could not rest, and had already met with many subordinates in one afternoon.

    "come in."

    "In the main town, there are merchants who have heard from the south. Ruijin's rebel army has broken through Huichang County, and will show the heads of Changzhi County and Nanjiang Generals!"

    Zhao Han stood up abruptly, clapped his hands and applauded: "Good job!"

    The Ruijin Peasant Army is very powerful. It was driven into the mountains by Xie Xuelong last year, but this year it even occupied Ruijin and Huichang counties.  He also killed the Southern Jiangxi general, who was the military commander with the highest position in Jiangxi-in the early years of Chongzhen, there was no Jiangxi General Army.

    (Refresh after reading, a map of Jiangxi will be attached at the end of the chapter.) &lt;/div&gt

 Body 140 [Four provinces besieged and suppressed Zhao Han] (addition for the leader "Six sons are afraid of water")

    After the autumn harvest this year, not only did the peasant army in Ruijin County grow stronger, but also a peasant uprising broke out in Longquan County.

    Longquan County is Suichuan County in later generations. It is very poor with many mountains and little land.

    There is a Longquan Hundred Households Institute here. Although it is only a small hundred households, it has been developed for two hundred years, and it has also graduated from the military.

    The little arable land was divided up by military officers and gentry.

    When the news came that Zhao Han occupied the three counties in central Jiangxi, Longquan County, which was only two counties away, also broke out an uprising of military households.  The military households united with the tenants, killed military officials and landlords, rushed into the county seat and killed the county magistrate, and hung the banner of "Practice justice for the sky" on the tower.

    Chen Yuding, the imperial censor, came to Jiangxi with great joy. As soon as he took office, his scalp felt numb!

    This guy came to Nanchang in mid-October. He first heard that the Zhao bandits had seized three counties, and then the Southern Jiangxi generals were killed, and then Longquan County was also occupied by the bandits.

    ?After inquiring carefully, good fellow, Nanfeng County is long gone, and there are bandits rebelling in Qianshan County.

    "Duke Daying, did you make any moves?" Chen Yuding asked.

    He Yingrui, the Zuo Buzheng, said: "How can there be nothing? The Jiangxi Third Division is doing its best to assist the governor in suppressing bandits. Otherwise, where will Governor Li's troops come from?"

    Chen Yuding said anxiously: "After more than half a year of suppression, the Duchang bandits are still occupying the county. What kind of bandits are they suppressing?"

    "The water bandits in Poyang Lake have been completely wiped out. Duchang rebels have also been besieged for many days, and they will definitely be captured within this year!" He Yingrui didn't want to talk nonsense with Chen Yuding, he was spending money to promote relations, and he would be transferred back to the center soon  .

    In this damn Jiangxi, whoever wants to be an official will come, He Yingrui just wants to leave early.

    The two of them didn't agree with each other, and broke up unhappy.

    Back at the temporary mansion, the servant reported that a man named Xiao Puyun asked to see him, and Chen Yuding hurriedly invited him in.

    When Xiao Puyun met, he cried and complained: "Xun Rongrong reported that the Zhao thief indiscriminately killed the landlords and distributed the land of the good people to the tenants. He used to confuse people's hearts. Even even Li Mengan turned to the thief!"

    "But Li Mengan, Minister of the Ministry of War a few years ago?" Chen Yuding said in surprise.

    Xiao Puyun said: "It's him!"

    Chen Yuding felt more and more serious about the situation, and hurriedly asked: "Who else is following the thief?"

    "There are too many thieves," Xiao Puyun resented that the government did not send troops to Ji'an Mansion quickly, causing his father and brother to be killed. He immediately framed him and said, "Jiangzhou's military equipment is Wang Siren, and his teacher is Jishui Liu Yingqiu, the son of Liu Yingqiu.  Liu Tongsheng has also joined the bandits. Then Wang Siren must have colluded with Zhao bandits, and he stayed in Duchang and refused to go south to suppress the bandits!"

    Chen Yuding asked suspiciously: "The bandits in the north rebelled, and most of the gentry's families died for the country. Why are there so many gentry in Jiangxi following the thieves?"

    Xiao Puyun said: "The thieves in the north kill and rob food, and then flee to other places. How can the gentry follow the thieves? Even if they want to follow the thieves, they will be chopped down by the thieves. This Luling Zhao thief is different.  He is a scholar of Jishui himself. As long as the gentry hand over the land, he will not rob money and food, and will not kill people indiscriminately. In order to save the lives of the clansmen, the gentry is often forced to submit. This guy also distributed all the land of the landlords to the head of Guizhou, and the common people were all killed.  It's bewitching! According to the inspection, what is Zhao's rebellion shouting?"

    "What are you shouting for?" Chen Yuding asked.

    Xiao Puyun gritted his teeth and said: "The world is one!"

    "The world is in harmony?" Chen Yuding thought he heard it wrong.

    "Exactly," Xiao Puyun said, "in the three counties of Luling, Jishui, and Anfu, many poor scholars were bewitched by the Zhao thief just because they were allocated a few acres of land.  You can speak of integrity! Today, in the three counties in Central Jiangxi, the common people only know that there is a Zhao thief, but they don’t know that there is a Ming emperor!"

    Chen Yuding inquired about the situation carefully again, and Xiao Puyun talked about it all at once.

    At night, Chen Yuding held the lamp and wrote the memorial.

    Not only impeached Jiangxi officials for their ineffectiveness in suppressing bandits, but also impeached the former inspector censor. He was unwilling to blame his predecessor.

    Moreover, Chen Yuding is still in the memorial, requesting the establishment of Jiangxi General Army and the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi to send troops.

    After finishing the memorial, Chen Yuding felt exhausted. He knew that he was in trouble, and that Luling Zhao thief was an extraordinary rebel!

    By the way, Chen Yuding in history, first defected to the Qing Dynasty, was dismissed later, and ran to become Zheng Chenggong's teacher.

    Zheng Chenggong failed to resist the Qing Dynasty. Chen Yuding was arrested and beheaded by the Qing army.  No regrets."

    Another complicated official, he had no psychological burden to vote in the Qing Dynasty, and he would rather die than regret in resisting the Qing Dynasty.

    Chen Yuding was afraid of the delay of the memorial, so he simply paid for the money himselfSaid: "Jin Yiwei's commander, Li Ruolian, can be the general army of Jiangxi."

    This appointment made the ministers want to complain, but they all refrained from opening their mouths.

    Although Chongzhen did a lot of foolish things, he did one thing right, and that was to add a military examination.

    In the previous martial arts, there were only Wu Jinshi, and the examinations were supervised by civil officials.  Since the Chongzhen Dynasty, there have been military champions, and these warriors can also be disciples of the emperor.

    Wu Jinshi was grateful for this, and many bloody martyrs emerged.

    For example, this Li Ruolian fought to the last moment in Beijing in the face of Li Zicheng's attack.

    In this regard, the imperial court finally took Zhao Han seriously, and the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, the governors of Fujian, the governors of Jiangxi, and the general army of Jiangxi all took Zhao Han as their final conquest targets.

    After talking about Jiangxi's affairs, the monarchs and ministers began to discuss the rogues again.

    Chen Qiyu, governor of the five provinces, this unlucky guy must be finished.  After such a big defeat, the skin will peel off even if you don't die. The best end is to be sent to the frontier.

    Chongzhen and the ministers had been arguing for several days, and finally decided on the candidate for the new governor of the five provinces - Hong Chengchou!

 Body 141 [Secret Agent Xu Ying]

    ,

    Xu Ying brought seven people to Nanchang, namely: Mission Officer Li Weisheng, Nuer Army Commander Liu Hui, Nuer Army Corps Commander Xiao Zhizhong, Secretary of the General Military Administration Deng Yan, Wuxing Town Inn Manager Huang Daliang, Wuxing Town Inn  Chef Huang Gui, inn assistant cook Huang Fu in Wuxing Town.

    In Nanchang City, there are still places to look for, but the rent is very expensive.

    It is difficult to find a store, and there are no vacancies in good locations.

    Xu Ying struggled for half a month, traveled all over Nanchang City, and finally rented a residential house outside Jinxian Gate.

    Jinxian Gate, also known as Fuzhou Gate, is located in the south of Nanchang City, and there are vegetable fields and cemeteries outside the city.  Vegetable sellers enter the city from here, and mourners leave the city from here, so there are sayings such as "carrying barrels and selling vegetables to Fuzhou Gate" and "crying and crying into Xianmen Gate".

    Renting a house outside Jinxian Gate, one is that the rent is very cheap;

    Going further west is Huimin Gate, which is the southwest side of Nanchang City, where there are Puxian Temple and Granary.  There were a lot of people burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and there were also a lot of people transporting food, and many vegetable vendors also came to sell vegetables.

    Further to the west is Guangrun Gate, which is the west and south of Nanchang City, which is close to the riverside wharf.  There are many shops and bustle, this is the first choice for opening a shop!

    Xu Ying took people to inquire for several days, and the storefronts in the prosperous areas are extremely expensive, and no one is willing to sublet or transfer them.

    There is no other way, I can only rent a storefront in a less lively alley between Huiminmen and Guangrunmen.  The store is not big, except for the back kitchen, there are only a few tables.

    I have to give gifts to the head of the workshop here, and then go to the government to report, and the door stall tax must be paid.

    On the first day of opening, there were no serious customers, but a few gangsters came.

    "Guests, please come in, what do you want to eat?" Shichang Liu Hui plays the shop clerk. He used to be an inn clerk.

    A few hooligans entered the store, and first slapped their sticks on the table: "You open a restaurant here, have you visited Fourth Master Xiao?"

    Xu Ying hurried over, cupped her hands and said, "I haven't had time to meet you yet."

    "You don't have to go, it's the same if we come here," the gangster said, slapping the table, "Your store is not big, you pay half a coin a month, and I guarantee that no one will dare to come here to make trouble."

    Xu Ying immediately presented copper coins: "Naturally, you have to abide by the rules. Half of the money is enough, and the remaining few coins, please have tea."

    The gangsters were very happy. Although in addition to the protection fee, each of them could get more than ten pennies, it is still rare for Xu Ying to have such a good eye.

    The gangster asked again: "What do you sell here?"

    "It's opening today, and the preparations are insufficient," Xu Ying shouted, "Huang Gui, here are six bowls of spicy noodles!"

    These two cooks were trained by Zhao Han himself, and taught more than ten signature dishes.

    "Hiss, it's so spicy!"

    "It's so spicy."

    "This side is really amazing."

    ""

    The six gangsters yelled spicy and cool at the same time, Jiangxi people really have a gene for eating spicy food.

    Xu Ying took the opportunity to say: "My little brother is new here, so I don't know the local rules. There are prominent people nearby, who should be treated carefully?"

    The leader of the gangster smiled and said: "The number one person, of course, is our fourth master Xiao. The cattle and horses (gangsters) from the west to the south of the city are under his control. Master Zhou outside the Puxian Temple is also the number one person. His daughter belongs to Master Dusi.  The concubine in the sixth room. And Master Liu from Guangyuanmen"

    After some inquiries, a lot of news came out, but it was all about the market situation outside the city.

    After eating a bowl of noodles, the gangsters complained that they were not full, so Xu Ying hurriedly asked the waiter to continue the noodles.  After these guys were full, they didn't want to give money, they just smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, your noodles here are delicious, brother, come back next time, and pay the bill first today."

    Put up a ghost account, and obviously don't give money.

    Xu Ying smiled and said: "It's easy to say, easy to say, brothers, go slowly."

    In the blink of an eye, the store opened for half a month, and the number of diners gradually increased, and there were many repeat customers. Four of the six tables could be filled.

    At the same time, Xu Ying herself often went to the city and wandered around the prefectural and county schools.  He declared to the outside world that his name was Huang Ying, a scholar from Luling County. His parents and brothers were killed by rebels. He escaped with only a few slaves and came to Nanchang to seek a living.

    Xu Ying was quite talented in the first place, but after going back and forth, she actually made a few friends.

    Then……

    "Brother Zhong Cong, this is your fellow villager Xiao Juren." A school friend from the prefectural school helped introduce him.

    Xiao Puyun clasped his fists and said: "My humble Xiao Puyun, I believe it."

    Xu Ying hurriedly returned the gift: "Huang Ying, whose name is Zhong Cong."

    &nbWhen we returned to the small courtyard we rented, it was already dark.

    Huang Shunli followed happily, and bumped into Huang Daliang who had already returned from the store.

    "ThreeThird Young Master!" Huang Daliang exclaimed in surprise.

    However, Huang Shunli had no impression of Huang Daliang, and said in a daze, "You are"

    Xu Ying felt that she was going to reveal her secrets, so she gestured immediately. Xiao Zhizhong slashed down from behind with a single knife, and then hacked Huang Shunli to death twice.

    Xu Ying ordered: "Pull off all the valuables on his body, and throw the body into the streets in the middle of the night."

    Back in the room, Xu Ying's heart was pounding.  After changing my mood for a while, I took out the cipherbook and wrote a letter, which read: "On the patrol, the emperor knows about it, or a joint provincial encirclement and suppression. Time is running out for the Duchang Rebel Army."

    In the morning of the second day, not far from the house, Xu Ying saw many people surrounding Huang Shunli's body.

    Some officials even came and asked about the situation.

    Xu Ying rushed forward and wailed loudly: "Brother, you died so badly, I shouldn't have lent you money, and let you be targeted by gangsters!"

    "Do you know him?" the official asked.

    Xu Ying wiped her tears and said, "I want the messenger to know that my elder brother and I are both scholars in Luling County. We checked the genealogy yesterday, and we are actually brothers of the same clan. The hateful Luling thief Zhao killed my elder brother's family and me.  , we had no choice but to flee to Nanchang for refuge. It didn't happenit didn't happen, my brother was in short supply, so I borrowed him five taels of silver, and he was very happy when he went out.  Wuwu Brother, you died unjustly!"

    Members of the Home Returning Association have also received news one after another, and they have no sympathy for Huang Shunli.

    In fact, this guy borrows money everywhere, and it has already made people dislike it, but it will be cleaner after death.

    In order to show her benevolence and righteousness, Xu Ying borrowed Huang Shunli's wife to take care of her.

    This woman's surname is Liu, she is only twenty-one years old, and she is beautiful and dignified.  She was married from a neighboring village, and she didn't live in Huangjia Town for a few days, so she moved to Fucheng with her husband.

    Even Huang Daliang and the others have only seen him twice from a distance, so they are not afraid of being recognized if they show their secrets.

    Knowing that Xu Ying took Huang Shunli's widow to take care of her, some scholars felt that Xu Ying valued love and righteousness, and some scholars secretly ridiculed and envied her—that little widow is so beautiful.

    In any case, Xu Ying has become famous in the "Homecoming Association", and he is bound to be invited to various gatherings.

 Body 142 [Theory on the Dividing of Land in Datong]

    ,

    Early morning.

    Several helpers were clearing the snow, and the deputy captain of the personal guard Liu Zhu hurried over.

    "In the general town, some people came to send winter animals, and they all said they didn't want them, but they still refused to leave." Liu Zhu had a sad face when he spoke, but his tone was full of pride.

    Winter animals are a means for landlords to exploit tenants. Taking advantage of the winter solstice festival, they force tenants to give gifts, and they must be poultry and livestock.

    Now, the military households near Fucheng turned over completely after dividing the fields, and took the initiative to bring gifts and ran to Zhao Han to celebrate the winter solstice.

    Zhao Han said: "Go and explain to the people that you are not allowed to give gifts to officials. If you insist on giving them, let them send them to the nursing home. Those who leave the winter animals and leave will also be sent to the nursing home.  "

    "Obey!" Liu Zhu trotted away.

    Every town has a nursing home, the scale is not large, and the operation is not bad.  They have jobs throughout the year, such as making cloth shoes for soldiers, sewing some military padded clothes, etc. Many urban homeless people also make shoes and sell them to the General Military Office.

    Fei Rulan held a cloak in her hand, chased it out and shouted: "Put this on, it's very cold today, don't catch a cold!"

    Zhao Han turned around with a smile, Fei Rulan had already come to the front, quickly helping Zhao Han put on the cloak.

    This is a double-breasted smock, and Fei Rulan personally sewed a goose feather cloak.  After Zhao Han put it on, he felt warm and light, reminiscent of a down jacket.

    Walking to the Yamen in the front yard, Li Banghua had returned from Jishui and was waiting for a meeting.

    As we said before, the number of people taking the county exam in the Ming Dynasty was the largest. Tens of thousands of people took the exam in Linchuan County, Jiangxi Province, and all of them were schoolchildren and children who did not pass the exam.

    The quality of scholars in Jishui County is higher, but due to the area of ??cultivated land, there are not as many scholars as in Linchuan County.  However, in Jishui (excluding the county seat) with a total of 120,000 people, there are also four to five thousand scholars who have read the Four Books and Five Classics. If you count a few hundred people who are literate, they can directly exceed ten thousand, and even some tenant children can recognize a few words.  .

    By the way, land annexation was serious in the late Ming Dynasty, which led to a decrease in the number of scholars in Jiangxi, and the number of Jinshi was also much smaller than before.

    In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, a large number of impoverished children from Jiangxi were admitted to Jinshi.  By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Jinshi from poor families in Jiangxi was very rare.

    After Li Banghua came forward to appeal, countless low-level scholars took refuge, and the number of "talents" has exploded.

    In order to prevent cheating in the division of land, scholars from Jishui County were transferred to Anfu County to assist in the division of land.  The scholars from Anfu County were transferred to Jishui to help divide the fields.

    It is often a missionary officer who takes a few newly recruited scholars to each village to organize the distribution of fields.  In this case, the work of dividing the fields in the two counties was quickly completed, and then the peasant associations of the two counties were formed.

    "Headquarters!"

    Everyone stood up.

    Zhao Han raised his hand and said, "Let's all sit down and talk about the situation."

    Chen Maosheng took the lead in speaking: "Now we have no shortage of scholars, especially children and students who have studied the Four Books and Five Classics. There are so many that there is no job to arrange them. But among them, many people do not believe in the harmony of the world, and they often do things unruly.  In my opinion, Bailuzhou Academy should be renamed Datong Academy, and it is dedicated to teaching well-behaved scholars, and assigning duties after graduation!"

    Li Banghua immediately said: "I agree to run a school to teach Datong thought, but Bailuzhou Academy cannot change its name, otherwise it will definitely arouse the resistance of scholars."

    "There is no need to change the name of the academy." Pang Chunlai also said.

    "Then don't change it." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    But all serious scholars have feelings for Bailuzhou Academy, which is where Wen Tianxiang and many other sages came from.

    Chen Maosheng could only sit back. He was born as an actor and his thinking was particularly radical.

    Zhao Han thought for a while: "I'm here to be the head of the academy, but I only go to give lectures occasionally. Mr. Li is the deputy head of the academy, and he also goes to visit when he has time. Chen Maosheng is Si Ye (dean of academic affairs), in charge of the specific affairs of the academy  .By the way, the magistrate of Wang County has been around the countryside, and he is a little awkward to return to Fucheng, so let him go to the academy as a professor."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Everyone burst into laughter.

    The former Luling magistrate Wang Tiaoding was willing to follow the thief, but he was unwilling to follow the thief. He was very uncomfortable.

    However, Wang Diaoding and Ouyang Zheng co-authored a theoretical article - "On the Dividing of Land in Datong".

    The point of entry into the discussion is very tricky, which comes from the sentence in "Lao Tzu": The way of heaven is to make up for what is not enough; the way of man is to make up for what is not enough;  Who can have more than enough to serve the world?  There is only Tao.

    What do you mean?

    Landlords' continuous annexation of land belongs to the way of human beings and is a necessity of human nature.  Zhao Han presides over sub-fieldof?  "Zhao Han was very surprised.

    Fei Ruhe said: "I sent someone to Yuanzhou to inquire about the news, but it was Tian Younian, the prefect of Yuanzhou. He heard that the Tartars were besieging Beijing, so he started recruiting craftsmen to make bows. He recruited more than ten bowmen from the Nanchangwei Weaponry Station.  He ordered local craftsmen in Yuanzhou to study. In the autumn of the fourth year of Chongzhen, five hundred pairs of bows and arrows were made, all of which were deported to the capital and presented to the emperor. I heard that he was rewarded by the emperor and allocated money to him to continue making bows."

    "This is a talent." Zhao Han sighed.

    Fei Ruhe continued: "Yuanzhouwei has its own weapon shop, and he recruited some craftsmen from Nanchang. Now there are hundreds of bowmakers in Yuanzhou. They can make hundreds of bows and tens of thousands of arrows every year.  Some were transported to the capital, and some were kept for his own use. This man has more than 3,000 soldiers under his command, of which 1,000 are archers."

    Pang Chunlai sighed suddenly: "It seems that our strong enemy is not Li Maofang and Wang Siren who suppressed the bandits in Duchang, but Tian Younian, the prefect of Yuanzhou. This man has been training for at least a year, and he is not a temporary beggar soldier. No wonder  The rebel army in Pingxiang was easily wiped out by him."

    "If the rebel army in Duchang is wiped out," Li Banghua said, "Tian Younian is likely to bring his elite troops and come south with the governor to attack us."

    Yuanzhou is just north of Anfu County. At first glance, it seems to be a very close neighbor, but there are mountains in the middle, so it only needs to defend a few main roads.

    If Tian Younian was smart, he would not have come over the mountains. He would probably be defeated in an ambush, and he would probably have to travel by water with Governor Li Maofang.

    Pang Chunlai said: "We can't wait for others to fight. We don't even have a pair of armor. It will be a disadvantage to meet thousands of archers."

    "Then take the initiative!"

    Zhao Han got up and said: "Attack Yuanzhou first, without occupying the city or dividing the land, just to destroy Tian Younian's elite. It would be even better if we could 'invite' the bow maker back!"?

 Body 143 [Marching in the Snow] (addition for the leader "The Past Is Smoked")

    ,

    The mountain between Anfu County and Yuanzhou Mansion is called Wugong Mountain.

    If you send troops in spring, you may be able to get over by luck if you go around in the mountains.  But it is absolutely impossible in winter. After entering the mountains, they will either freeze to death or starve to death if they cannot find food.

    Then you can only take the route further east, still need to cross mountains and ridges, from Anfu County to Fenyi County, which is equivalent to crossing the remaining veins of Wugong Mountain.

    At the beginning of December, Zhao Han personally led an army of 4,000, without any supplies, food and grass, and set off on the snow into the mountains.

    Half of the mountain journey this time belongs to Anfu County, and the work of dividing the fields has been completed.  Moreover, the land was divided after the autumn harvest, and the rent had not yet been handed over to the landlord, so it could be said that every family had surplus food.

    Every time he went to a village, Zhao Han would borrow food from the villagers to keep enough food and grass with him.

    All the way to Taoyuan Village, which is a relatively wealthy village, mainly because there is a small river flowing through the village, alluvial fertile and flat mountain valleys.

    "The whole army rests, don't sit down in the snow!"

    Including Zhao Han, all four thousand soldiers stood at the entrance of the village, stamping their feet on the spot to warm up.

    The missionary officer went into the village alone and contacted the village head and the peasant association: "Village Chief Li, I am Zuo Zhao, the missionary officer, and I came here with Mr. Zhao on an expedition. Please arrange for the villagers to borrow food for cooking, and all the food borrowed will leave receipts. After the spring of the villagers  , you can go to the county to collect grain, and you will be repaid at one cent interest. It can also be used to offset the summer grain tax, which will also be calculated at one cent interest.”

    "No interest, no interest." Li Huairen, the head of the village, was originally a boy born here, but was so poor that he gave up the imperial examination. Now the whole family is allotted the land.

    Li Huairen first assigned work to members of the peasant association, and then immediately went out of the village to meet Zhao Han.

    "Meet Mr. Zhao!" Li Huairen suddenly knelt in the snow.

    "Get up quickly." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    After Li Huairen got up, he quickly said, "Mr. Zhao, go to the village to rest."

    "Please." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Fei Ruhe ordered: "The whole army advances!"

    The herald raised the command flag, and four thousand soldiers walked on the snow.  Although I walked staggeringly, I tried my best not to step on the field, and I couldn't help it if I fell into the field.

    When they entered the village, every household was boiling water, mainly to soak the soldiers' feet.

    The military clerks and heralds were so busy that they issued food loan receipts to the villagers everywhere, and the military judge repeatedly warned the soldiers not to disturb the people.

    Seeing thousands of soldiers living in the villagers' homes very politely without any crime, Li Huairen couldn't help feeling: "A teacher of true benevolence and righteousness, in terms of military discipline, Yue Wumu's soldiers are no more than that."

    Zhao Han laughed and said, "I can't compare to Yue Wumu. Village Chief Li, if you cross the Taoyuan Ridge in the north, will you reach the boundary of Fenyi County?"

    "It's just turning over, but the snow is not easy to walk, and it's more convenient when the snow melts in spring." Li Huairen said.

    Zhao Han said: "No matter how difficult it is to walk, you have to turn over."

    Troops must be dispatched in winter. Once spring begins, Yuanzhou's elite will join forces with governor Li Maofang and go straight to Jishui County by boat along the Ganjiang River.

    Moreover, the dispatch of troops in winter will definitely make the prefect of Yuanzhou unprepared.

    When I came to Li Huairen's house, I saw that the village chief's wife had already killed the chicken and was boiling water to scald the hair.  Zhao Han immediately said: "The poultry killed by the villagers will be compensated according to the price! All the meat in the village will be given priority to the sick and wounded."

    "Mr. Zhao, there's no need to do this," Li Huairen said hastily, "Mr. Zhao is our great benefactor who gave us the land. What's the point of killing a chicken?"

    Fei Ruhe said coldly: "This is a military order, don't try to destroy our morale."

    "Don't dare, dare not." Li Huairen couldn't say anymore.

    After cooking the chicken at the village head's house, the mission officer took it out and gave it to the wounded and sick.  Along the way, some people fell ill, some got frostbite, and more than a dozen people have been "reduced".

    Fortunately, there is no severe frostbite, so it can be rested at the villagers' house.

    Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe, Huang Yao, Huang Shun and other senior military officers all ate ordinary food at Li Huairen's house, and didn't take a sip of the wine they brought out.

    The composition of the army is simpler, and it is far easier to train than civilian officials.

    Regardless of the off-duty soldiers in Zhao Han's hands, there are only a few hundred people, and the rest are all half-farming and half-war farmers and soldiers, but their military discipline is far superior to any current army.  Those who are disobedient and who make mistakes have long been eliminated.

    Even a few soldiers who were born as gangsters became strictly prohibited after being severely punished.

    The main credit should go to the missionary officers in the army, and the soldiers are not treated badly!

    The soldiers participating in the winter march this time not only received overpaid wages, but each was also given a cotton coat for free, and two more for free.?? 

    "Burn, burn!"

    The soldiers who lit the fire shouted excitedly, but Fei Ruhe ordered them to silence.

    Many dead branches were picked up to dry, and then moved to the side to light a fire, and more and more fires were lit.

    The soldiers who climbed to the top of the mountain also took off their shoes and changed into dry ones, and even took off their leggings to warm themselves by the fire, because the leggings had been soaked by the snow.

    Between each other, they warmed up by the fire while helping to rub their legs and feet, otherwise they would definitely suffer from frostbite again.

    After resting for an hour and a half, the clothes had been dried and his stomach was full to recover his strength. Zhao Han immediately ordered to continue marching.

    The way down the mountain is almost rolling down, and it is already half afternoon at the foot of the mountain.

    This place is under the jurisdiction of Fenyi County. The villagers were terrified when they saw the army, and they all hid in their homes and dared not come out.

    Zhao Han forcibly knocked open a residential house, asked where the largest landlord in the vicinity was, and quickly led his troops to the landlord's house.

    "Wrap up!"

    There are no real big landlords in the mountain villages, and they can have hundreds of acres of land if they are exhausted.  Zhao Han sent soldiers to surround the house, tied up the landlord's men, asked the women to help make the beds and fold the quilts, and asked the women to fetch food for cooking.

    This house was not big enough to accommodate four thousand soldiers, so many more were allocated to borrow houses from common people's homes.

    Rest overnight and start again the next day.

    The landlords and peasants here are all confused, and they can't figure out where the army came from, and it's too benevolent.

    Yes, benevolence!

    Although the whole family of the landlord was tied up, they did not do anything to the woman.  I just robbed some food from the landlord’s house, really only robbed a little bit, because it’s inconvenient to march because I robbed too much. There must be soldiers who steal petty things.  The official can't check it either.

    As for the common people, the soldiers did nothing but go into the house to sleep.

    Compared with the officers and soldiers, this is a true teacher of benevolence and righteousness. The landlord even felt like he had a dream.

 Text 144 [Catch a scientist]

    Zhao Han's marching route is only the remaining range of Wugong Mountain.

    After turning over the ridge at the beginning, the rest are relatively flat hills or valleys.  Only when we go out of the mountain, we have to climb over a ridge. At this time, the snow is not so thick.

    "General, in front is the Wannian Bridge, which was built by Yan Ge in those days. After crossing the Wannian Bridge is the county seat Can you, can you let Wansheng go home"

    The person who spoke was a poor scholar who was forcibly invited by Zhao Han to lead the way before he left the mountain.

    Jiangxi is really amazing, there are scholars in the mountains.  Xiao Shizhong, the number one scholar in the ninth year of Yongle, came from Dashan. At this time, it belonged to Fei Yinggong's territory, and it was a very remote place in his territory.

    Zhao Han stood at the foot of the mountain and looked out. He could vaguely see the bridge and the county seat. He couldn't help asking: "You mean Yan Ge, but Yan Song?"

    The poor scholar said: "Although Mr. Yan Ge is a traitor, he has a very good reputation in his hometown, and he has done many great things to benefit the village."

    Taking advantage of the rest of the soldiers, Zhao Han asked again: "Tian Younian, the prefect of Yuanzhou, how is this man doing?"

    Poor scholars complained: "Tian Zhifu can do things, and it will inevitably disturb the people. He recruits soldiers to suppress the rebels, and the people in the whole government have to share. My family shared three buckets of rice last year. He also likes to make bows and arrows.  It is said that it is sent to the capital as a gift to the emperor, and the materials for the bow and arrow have to be apportioned. A piece of beef tendon is apportioned in five miles. How can the people in the mountains be willing to kill cattle? Isn’t it just a matter of collecting money? I heard that fishermen in Yuanjiang have to apportion additional  Fish maw was taken advantage of by officials, and many fishermen fled. I heard people say that the rebels in Pingxiang County were forced to rebel by the magistrate."

    This is very interesting.

    When Tian Younian heard that the Tartars were besieging the capital, he immediately recruited craftsmen to make bows and arrows, and then sent them to the capital all the way.

    Seemingly loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but forced the people to rebel.  He took the opportunity to train soldiers again and wiped out the rebels. He really trained him an elite army, but the life of ordinary people was even more difficult.

    Zhao Han asked the quartermaster to bring a piece of broken silver, handed it to the scholar himself, and said: "It's almost New Year's Eve, you take the silver and go back to celebrate the New Year, don't go to Yuanzhou Mansion to report to the officials."

    The poor scholar took the money in a daze. He thought he would be silenced by the rebels, but he didn't expect that there was still money to receive.

    Thanks a lot for this guy, and went home with money in his hands.

    After going up the mountain, he watched the rebels crossing the bridge from a distance, and suddenly became entangled, should he go to Fucheng to report the news?

    After weighing repeatedly for a long time, the poor scholar turned and went home.

    In this cold weather, why did you run so far to Fucheng?  The magistrate showed no kindness to him, instead he apportioned a lot every year. If the rebels captured the city, a different magistrate might be able to live better.

    In fact, Zhao Han is not afraid of his tipping off.

    It's almost the Chinese New Year, and the army in Tian Younian's hands must have been sent home.  Zhao Han wanted Tian Younian to gather his troops, otherwise how would he eliminate those elite officers and soldiers?

    ?Because of the terrain, Zhao Han was unable to surprise Fucheng, so he had to take down Fenyi County first, and his whereabouts could not be concealed.

    At this very moment, Zhao Han is crossing the Wannian Bridge built by Yan Song, Yan Shifan and his son.

    The bridge spans the Yuanjiang River, with a total length of nearly 400 meters and a width of nearly 8 meters, with a total of eleven bridge holes.  It was a big project that cost more than 20,000 taels of silver back then.

    Hundreds of years later, the bridge and the county seat were all submerged under the water because the Jiangkou Reservoir was to be built.

    Today's Fenyi County is on the edge of the Yuan River, and the east gate of the county is just across the Wannian Bridge.

    "March at full speed!"

    Thousands of soldiers ran towards the bridge, and some people fell down in the snow from time to time.

    Until I ran to the bridge, there was no response from inside or outside the city. Most people were at home preparing for the New Year—it was already the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

    Even the city guards, because of the cold weather, hid in the city tower to warm themselves by the fire, and no one wanted to stand on the city wall to blow the wind.

    Instead, it was the people at the wharf outside the city. Someone noticed something was wrong, looked around for a moment, and asked in great confusion: "Is this an officer or a rebel?"

    "The officers and soldiers are here!"

    With all the weapons, it seems that they are not rebels, but the officers and soldiers are also scary, just like rebels.

    Regardless of whether they were traffickers or merchants from other places, there was a mess on the pier, shouting "the officers and soldiers are coming" and fled in panic.

    The city guards were confused, and the Chinese New Year was about to come. Where did the officers and soldiers come from?

    These guys came out to look around, and in a daze, some soldiers exclaimed: "It's the rebels, the rebels have come out of the mountain!"

    "Close the city gate, close the city gate quickly!"

    Zhao Han has already led his troops to run most of the 300-meter-long bridge.

    The soldiers shouted in unison: ???Immediately ran back and said to the scripture teacher and the handyman: "Run away!"

    The scribes and handymen resented in their hearts, and the rebels were all attracted by the teachings. Wouldn't it be good to honestly hide in the school?

    These guys ran to the back door quickly, only to hear a bang, but the main door of the school was knocked open.

    "Catch them all, I want to live!"

    Huang Shun was angry, but also a little excited. He knew that Zhao Han wanted to form a long-range army.

    Barged in from the main entrance of the county school, and everyone inside ran away, so I chased after him, and chased half a street from the back door.

    ?Because every household is closed, the teachers, scripture teachers and handymen can't hide in the houses, so they can only sneak into the alleys along the streets.

    The handyman ran fast, but the teachers lacked exercise, and were chased closer and closer by a group of rebels.

    "Alas!"

    One scribe fell to the ground, and the other scribes ignored them and ran for their lives with all their strength.

    Jiaoyu had already run to the front, but after hearing the situation, he suddenly turned around and shot another arrow.

    "ah!"

    The shot was very accurate this time, hitting the chest of a chasing soldier.  Fortunately, he was wearing a thick cotton coat, which offset most of the strength, otherwise he would have died on the spot.

    "Raise your shield and pursue!"

    Huang Shun hurriedly shouted.

    The rattan players under Zhao Han have long since stopped using pot lids, and now they are all serious wooden shields.

    In addition to the teachings, all other scribes were arrested.

    Huang Shun reluctantly pulled out the arrow. He was also wearing a cotton coat, and the arrow didn't go deep into the flesh, but it still hit the bone.  This guy led the troops to speed up the pursuit, followed the teaching instruction into the alley in a blink of an eye, and then lost it.

    "Boss, there are footprints on the ground!" A corporal reminded.

    As the Chinese New Year approached, there were few pedestrians in this alley.  Although there are many footprints in the snow, there are only a bunch of new ones.

    Huang Shun said with a sneer: "The rattan player is in front, raise the shield to protect his teammates."

    Jiaoyu was hiding in the pile of debris at the end of the alley. Seeing the rebels surrounding him, he knew he couldn't escape, so he just took another shot.

    "ah!"

    This time it was an arrow in the thigh, because the upper body was protected by a shield.

    "Rush forward, don't let him wind up, remember to catch the alive!" Huang Shun shouted.

    Zhao Han has already occupied the county office, the master has run away and is chasing him, the county magistrate is trembling and kneeling in front of him.

    Huang Shun trotted over, happily said: "Zongzhen, what do you think this is?"

    Zhao Han took the crossbow and glanced at Huang Shun's shoulder: "Go to the doctor to bandage it, don't delay the injury."

    Jiaoyu and several scripture teachers were brought before Zhao Han. The scripture teachers were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.  Jiaoyu refused to kneel, and it was useless to be held down by the soldiers. In the end, he was pressed down to the ground.

    "Forget it, let him stand up." Zhao Han waved his hand.

    Jiaoyu stood tall and looked at Zhao Han with disdainful eyes, as if he didn't bother to say a word.

    "What's your name? Where did you get this crossbow?" Zhao Han asked.

    The instruction is still silent.

    The scripture teacher next to him said: "General Rongzhi, this person is Song Yingxing, whose name is Changgeng, and he is the teacher (principal) of Fenyi County School."

    "Song Yingxing?" Zhao Han smiled strangely.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 145 [Great understanding of Song Yingxing]

    ,

    Twenty years ago, Song Yingxing and his elder brother Song Yingsheng took part in the provincial examination. One of them came in third in the province and the other came in sixth in the province.

    Third and sixth in the Jiangxi provincial examination!

    It's a pity that until now, neither of the brothers has passed the Jinshi exam.

    Three years ago, Song Yingshengquan was elected as the county magistrate of Tongxiang.  To put it bluntly, it is to use the relationship of the Ministry of Officials to by-election for official vacancies as candidates.  It must have cost money, otherwise it would not be the number one. Fei Yinghuan's prefect did the same thing.

    The family spent a lot of money to buy an official for his elder brother, but they really had no money to buy a county magistrate for Song Yingxing, so they delayed for two years to help Song Yingxing buy a teaching order.

    The Jiaoyu is barely an official, the principal of the county public school.

    Song Yingxing is now in his forties, and he came to Fenyi County to teach. This should have been the most important stage of his life, and all his works were completed in these few years.

    Unexpectedly, when I met Zhao Han, I was arrested by a group of rebels as soon as I started writing "Heavenly Creation".

    "Search the county school and find all this person's belongings," Zhao Han glanced at Song Yingxing, "especially the manuscripts!"

    After half an hour, the soldiers carried the box to the county government office.

    Zhao Han knelt down and looked through it slowly. There were Song Yingxing's travel notes, and countless technical information notes, including agricultural machinery, ceramics, bricks and tiles, metallurgy, gunpowder, textiles, mining, meteorology, and so on.

    "Heavenly Creation" has already started writing, but there is only the content of planting crops.

    Zhao Han picked up the few pages of the manuscript, but it was about planting rice, and there were many farm tools with pictures and texts.

    After a rough reading, Zhao Han commented: "It's ridiculous. There are early rice and late rice in rice cultivation. You only recorded early rice. For late rice, you can use Panjaponica to sow. Your data collection is not complete."

    "Um?"

    Song Yingxing used to look generous, but it wasn't until he found his manuscripts and materials that he became a little scared, for fear that the rebels would burn his manuscripts.

    Unexpectedly, the rebels actually discussed rice planting techniques with him. Song Yingxing frowned and said, "Is there really a way to grow late rice?"

    "Where are you from?" Zhao Han asked.

    Song Yingxing replied: "Fengxin County, Nanchang Prefecture."

    "As far as I know, farmers in northeastern Jiangxi have already planted late rice, and southern Jiangxi has also begun to plant late rice." Zhao Han said clearly, but the information actually came from the grain merchant.

    Regardless of the opponent's status as a traitor, Song Yingxing asked curiously, "Can you grow late rice with only Japonica rice?"

    "No," Zhao Han corrected, "I asked people to try planting late rice in Luling County, but the harvest was not very good. After careful calculation, it should be due to insufficient heat. Crops can grow well without water and heat.  If you go to the south, the heat will be stronger throughout the year, and I heard that in some places in Guangdong, rice can be grown two to three times a year."

    "Two to three seasons?" Song Yingxing was shocked.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "For many things, we not only need to know what is happening, but also why. Just like this kind of rice, if you want to harvest a few more seasons, you must be in the south. It can be seen that the reason is the heat of the sun."

    Song Yingxing said: "If there is a chance, I will go to Guangdong to see."

    Zhao Han squatted down again and continued to rummage, and finally found the materials for making weapons.  There are bows, arrows, gunpowder, guns, etc., but unfortunately no trebuchet was found.

    "Why is there no catapult?" Zhao Han asked.

    Song Yingxing replied: "I haven't seen it before. It is the warship of the Daming Navy. They either use artillery or crossbows. Who would use catapults?"

    Well, the catapult has been eliminated.

    It was almost time for dinner, Zhao Han dragged Song Yingxing to dinner, so that he could keep an eye on the information in the box.

    Song Yingxing followed in a daze, all he could think about was the wooden box.  Even if Zhao Han lets him go, this guy won't leave. Inside the box is his painstaking efforts collected for twenty years.

    There is wine and meat.

    Today, the whole army has meat to eat. After all, they have marched hard for many days, and they must replenish their bodies.

    There is no need to rob, take the money from the county magistrate, and run to the butchers in the city to buy it. The butchers dare not not sell it.

    "Bring the wine, I want to entertain Mr. Song." Zhao Han shouted.

    Mr. Song didn't speak, just sat down and looked at Zhao Han, wanting to get back his manuscripts and materials.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Mr. Song is eating."

    Song Yingxing said: "I have a long-term follower, and he got separated when I was running for my life."

    Zhao Han immediately ordered his subordinates: "Put up notices throughout the city, saying that Mr. Song is my guest, and ask Mr. Song's entourage to come to the county government quickly."

    "This this can't be done." Song Yingxing stood up in shock. Once the notice was posted,?Come back with me in a few days and have a look.  "

    After reading Song Yingxing's article, Zhao Han didn't want to talk about any more reasons, because the other party understood all these reasons.

    Between the lines, what Zhao Han read was only despair, and it even tasted like a broken jar.

    Song Yingxing was arranged to live in the county government office, and his servants soon came to see him.

    "How is it in the city?" Song Yingxing asked.

    The house slave replied: "These rebels are very good. They did not kill or set fire, but maintained law and order. Inside and outside the county town, it is better than before. Those who committed crimes were scared and hid."

    Song Yingxing was stunned and suddenly didn't know what to say.

    He is very clear about the current situation of Ming Dynasty, and the "World Games" was written very strangely.  The whole article is implicitly expressing the view of the end of the dynasty. At the end, there is a sudden sentence, saying that although it is in troubled times, scholars should not be depressed and should cheer up to save the situation.

    It's just self-deception.

    What can Song Yingxing do?

    Although he was born in a wealthy family, even the money for his brother to buy an official was obtained by patchwork.  And his elder brother, who only served as the county magistrate for two years, brought back a lot of money to the family.

    Song Yingxing was able to go to Fenyi County to teach, and the official money he paid for this also included the money embezzled by his brother!

    He is in the situation, can see clearly, and can't do anything.

    Alas, let's not talk about political affairs, let's indulge in side paths.

    The next morning, Song Yingxing took the initiative to visit Zhao Han, wanting to get a steelyard to verify the principle of leverage.

    The guard guarding the county government office said: "Mr. Song will stay for a few days, the main town is not in the county government office at present."

    Song Yingxing said in surprise: "He sent troops to Yuanzhou Mansion? ?

 Text 146 [Night Detour] (adding changes for the leader's "transformation")

    ,

    There is no military plan, it is set in stone!

    After arriving in Fenyi County, Zhao Han obtained more detailed information.

    The core elite of Zhifu Tian Younian comes from the official kiln craftsmen of Binjiang Town.  Now that the Chinese New Year is about to come, the soldiers must go home, and they can get twice the result with half the effort if they go straight there.

    When Zhu Yuanzhang built Nanjing City, the inner layer of city bricks was white, all produced in Binjiang Town.

    These white city bricks are all fired from kaolin, also known as "white mud bricks" and "white tiles", which are stronger than ordinary blue city bricks.  Yuan Zhou, who supervised the manufacture of this brick, judged Sui Yun, and was greatly appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was promoted from the sixth rank to the inspector of the third rank.

    There is an official kiln in Binjiang Town, which was messed up by the officials. A few years ago, the kiln workers made trouble, and the magistrate Tian Younian personally recruited and settled it.

    He recruited five hundred kiln workers as soldiers, wiped out the bandits in Wugong Mountain, and went to wipe out the rebels in Pingxiang County.  Hearing that there were giant bandits in Luling County in the south, he immediately expanded the army of the township warriors, and now there are 3,000 troops.

    Those five hundred kiln workers are elite soldiers who have been trained for two years!

    On the night when he saw Song Yingxing, Zhao Han led his troops to set off and handed over the task of defending the city to Fei Ruhe.

    ?Because there was too much movement of the conscripted ships, Zhao Han led his troops across the Wannian Bridge and marched along the south bank of the Yuan River at night.  After rushing forty miles overnight, they arrived at Binjiang Town in the early morning and launched an attack without rest.

    The residents of the town didn't react, and they saw three thousand soldiers passing through the town, rushing to the kiln workers' settlement west of the town.

    "Surrender without killing!"

    Every ten people formed a small team, scattered and rushed into various houses, and then escorted the kiln worker's family out

    Xiong Yaozu's ancestors have been kiln workers for generations, and their household registration belongs to the craftsman's registration.  The official kilns have long since failed, and they all work for private kilns for a living. Although life is hard, they can still live on.

    Just five years ago, the prefect at that time had a sudden convulsion and said that he wanted to build an additional circle of the prefecture.

    The kiln-burning households like Xiong Yao were conscripted to serve, and they brought their own dry food to the government to burn city bricks.

    According to the rules, although servants do not receive wages, the government must distribute rations.  The rations were also deducted by the officials, and the kiln workers couldn't survive, so they simply killed the officials (kiln supervisors) and rebelled.

    After going on like this for half a year, the magistrate was promoted with money, and the new magistrate Tian Younian took office.

    For Tian Zhifu, Xiong Yao admired him very much, he dared to come to surrender alone, and in the end he only killed two leading rebels.

    Xiong Yao was recruited by the magistrate as a villager, and he was paid two buckets of food every month.  Moreover, he exercises every five days. He is very close to Fucheng. Taking into account the round-trip time, he can work on his own for three days to make money.

    The prefect of Tian is very good at training soldiers. He said that the monthly salary is two dollars, and he has never deducted it.  Going to Pingxiang County to suppress bandits, there is still money to be paid, Xiong Yao even hopes to fight every day.

    This year's life is much easier, and the family has bought new year's goods.

    On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiong Yao worked hard for a year and wanted to sleep in this year.

    Suddenly, he heard a noise from outside, and before he could put on his clothes, a group of soldiers rushed in.

    "Surrender without killing!"

    His wife, children, and children were all arrested. Xiong Yao just put on his pants, and he didn't dare to resist at all, considering the lives of the whole family.

    Taken to the open space outside to gather, Xiong Yao found that many people had been arrested, women, children and old people stood together, while young and strong were asked to stand on the other side.

    what's the situation?

    No one knows what's going on, they're all waiting for the Chinese New Year, so it's just so confused.

    "Soldiers stand up, don't force me to interrogate!"

    Xiong Yao looked around and saw that everyone was hesitating, and then looked at his wife and children, who were being pointed at with a spear.

    In desperation, someone stepped forward, and Xiong Yao followed suit.

    Zhao Han said: "Count the number of people."

    The flag commander quickly counted and quickly reported: "General town, a total of 436 people!"

    There must be more than that. Tian Younian recruited kiln workers as soldiers. At the beginning, he only recruited 500 people, and later he recruited more than 300 people.

    After some interrogation, Gao Gao figured out that some people left their wives and children and ran away, while others lived farther away.

    Zhao Han quickly ordered the arrest of people, and in another settlement where kiln workers lived, more than a hundred households were arrested one after another, many of them were ordinary kiln workers.

    Finally, Zhao Han asked: "Who has practiced bowing? Raise your hand."

    "I have practiced." Xiong Yao raised his hand.

    At this moment, a small boat docked in Binjiang Town.

    After the officer got off the boat, he ran wildly and shouted: "The Fu Zun gathers the troops, the Fu Zun gathers the troops. Be sure to celebrate the New Year!!

    "General, Yuegong Ridge is in front of you, and the magistrate's training ground is located at the foot of the mountain." Xiong Yao said, pointing to the front.

    Traveling day and night all the way, and stop and go, when Zhao Han arrived at the place where the Tibetan soldiers were, it was only the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the prefect of Tian had not yet finished gathering troops.

    ?Send a sentry to go down the mountain pretending to be a woodcutter, go out of the city to sell firewood and come back.

    Zhao Han got preliminary information about the military. There are thousands of defenders in Yuanzhou Fucheng, but the school grounds and barracks at the foot of Yuegong Ridge are empty, and Tian Younian's soldiers all live in the city.

    Zhao Han could only stay in the mountains to rest, and make torches for night raids by the way.

    The soldiers took off their leggings and put them in their arms to dry them.  Before the action, he helped the wooden sticks to make torches, and when he left Binjiang Town, he brought a lot of vegetable oil, which was also used to make kindling.

    On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the spies came back to report.

    There are many ships outside the Fucheng, which are loading food, which is the military rations sent by the prefect of Tian.

    Judging from the number of ships, it is definitely not enough for 3,000 soldiers to take the ship.  Most of the supplies were carried by water, and the soldiers followed along the river. Even if they were ambushed, the grain transport ships could escape immediately.

    Moreover, the barracks at the foot of Yuegong Ridge have begun to house soldiers.

    On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the spies returned again.

    The number of soldiers in the barracks was far more than three thousand, maybe five or six thousand, and I don't know where the magistrate recruited so many brave men.

    Zhao Han now has two choices, one is to set up an ambush halfway by the river, and the other is to directly attack his barracks at night.

 Body 147【Training talents】

    ,

    It is easy to make a choice, because Zhao Han is almost out of food.

    On New Year's Eve, I brought rations into the mountains, and now it is the fourth day of the New Year.  In the middle of the day, I hid at night and went out at night, for fear of being discovered, so it was naturally impossible to grab food.

    Then attack the barracks at night directly!

    At this moment, Tian Younian, the magistrate of Yuanzhou, was being entangled all the way from the city to the military camp by the magistrate of Yichun.

    Fang Lu, the county magistrate, complained endlessly: "Master Fu, why are you conscripting so many soldiers? All the big households in the city have broken through the threshold of the county government."

    ? The Yuanzhou government office and the Yichun county office are in the same city.

    "You don't care about the war, so you can go back to defend the city, and don't let the rebels steal the city." Tian Younian didn't want to explain anything to an idiot.

    The Duchang thieves have been wiped out by the officers and soldiers, and the entire northern part of Jiangxi is peaceful.

    Tian Younian made an appointment with the governor early on to send troops together after the Lantern Festival.  Since the rebels took the initiative to kill them, it would be even better, and directly surrounded and killed Zhao thief in Fenyi County.

    Arriving at the barracks, Hong Yan, the staff member, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the army rations have been prepared, and more than 2,300 soldiers have assembled."

    2,300 people belonged to the "veterans". Temporarily recruited soldiers were not counted as people.

    In total, there are more than five thousand!

    Another scholar stepped forward, it was Zuo Xiaocheng who had previously joined Xie Xuelong.  Now he lives at his grandfather's house in Yichun County, and spreads the hateful deeds of Zhao Bandit everywhere, saying that Zhao Bandit is going to kill all the landlords in the world, scaring the big family in Yichun County to the point of weakness.

    ?Because of this, the big clan in Yichun actively donated money and food to help the prefect Tian Younian recruit troops to suppress bandits.

    Zuo Xiaocheng reminded: "Master Fu, the traitor in Fenyi County must be the Zhao thief. This thief is extremely cunning and advances quickly. We must guard against this thief from stealing the city."

    "Don't worry, I have left 300 elite soldiers in Fucheng, and 800 township warriors." Tian Younian had already made up his mind.

    Zuo Xiaocheng also said: "Thousands of soldiers gathered in the barracks tonight, and countless grain and grass piled up on the boats at the wharf outside the city. We must guard against night attacks by Zhao thieves."

    Staff member Hong Yan smiled and said: "Brother Zuo Xian, I think you are scared out of your wits by Zhao Bandit. Along the Yuan River, our army has already sent many sentries. Can Zhao Bandit fly over to attack at night?"

    Zuo Xiaocheng hesitated to speak, and felt that he was thinking too much.

    Tian Younian frowned, thought for a moment and said: "Set up more sentries tonight, and send more soldiers to guard the rations. We will set off early tomorrow morning!"

    There were two Tian Younian in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and the other hadn't passed the Jinshi exam, but he was already recognized as a master of Mao poetry.

    But the Tian Younian in front of him was only from a family background, and he was able to quickly become the magistrate, all thanks to his military exploits to get promoted!

    This guy belongs to the son of a military family in Shaanxi. His father and brother are both military generals. He learned bow horse and military art since he was a child.  Spend money to buy a county magistrate, and every time he goes to a place, he must recruit soldiers, either to wipe out the bandits, or to conquer the rebels.

    ?After lunch, Tian Younian personally inspected the barracks, constantly condolences to the soldiers, and pointed out the inappropriate layout of the barracks.

    Take back Fenyi County?

    Tian Younian had never had this kind of thought. He just wanted to block the bandit Zhao to death in Fenyi County, and then join forces with the governor Li Maofang and Wang Siren to kill the rebels' thousands of troops!

    As soon as Tian Younian received the news of the thief, he sent messengers to Nanchang and Jiujiang to contact friendly forces.

    As for the sudden recruitment of domestic slaves and gangsters, it was purely to frighten Zhao Han with the superior force, and Zhao Han was so frightened that he hid himself in Fenyi County and dared not come out.  The longer the time dragged on, the greater the chances of the officers and soldiers winning. He knew that it would be enough to wait for friendly reinforcements.

    Tian Younian didn't dare to underestimate Bandits Zhao, and those who can send troops in winter are ruthless people.

    What's more, thief Zhao also sneaked into Binjiang Town, taking away hundreds of elites he had trained for two years!

    After the camp tour was over, Tian Younian went back to the house to rest, and took out a copy of "Ji Xiao's New Book" to read. He had read this book for twenty years.

    This guy seems to be a civil servant, but in fact he doesn't have much knowledge, and it would be difficult to test a scholar in Jiangxi.  But he is familiar with the art of war, and he is skilled in bow and horse, so he can take the lead and lead the crowd to charge in battle.

    While reading, Tian Younian suddenly put down the military book and went out to observe the mountains behind him.

    It was already afternoon, Tian Younian gave the order: "Cut down the woods under Yuegong Ridge, and send a few people into the mountain to search for the enemy!"

    Yuegong Ridge is very big, it is a big mountain rising abruptly in the southeast of Fucheng, Yuegong Ridge is only its highest peak.

    It is definitely useless to send a few people to search the mountain, and it is feasible to cut down the woods near the military camp.

    In fact, the military camp is thousands of steps away from the foot of the mountain, and it is not close to the mountain.

    ??? More than a hundred archers.  Otherwise, there must be more than 1,800 elites around Tian Younian at this time.

    This guy governs the army very strictly, and the military salary is never deducted.

    To be able to support so many soldiers, in addition to donating money and food from big households, there must be an extraordinary method.  For example, in the suppression of bandits in Pingxiang County, two big landlords were killed without any hassle, and they declared that it was a good deed done by the bandits, and took a large amount of money and food as military pay.

    Facing the tight formation, Huang Yao didn't dare to approach at all, and formed a formation far away to wait for the arrival of friendly troops.

    Tian Younian didn't dare to attack. Although both sides lit up torches, the formation would be messy when charging in the dark, and there were bandits coming from his north and east.

    Surrounded on three sides by rebels, there are more than 2,400 people.

    In one year when Tian was besieged, there were only more than 1,300 soldiers, but there were more than 800 archers.

    Zhao Han couldn't help admiring: "Tian Zhifu is really powerful. In terms of training talents, he is already comparable to the famous generals of all dynasties!"

    "Are you Zhao Yan from Luling?" Tian Younian asked.

    "Exactly." Zhao Han replied.

    Tian Younian said with a smile: "You are not bad either, you can lead soldiers across snow and mountains."

    "Surrender." Zhao Han didn't want to attack by force, and the opponent's archers were a headache.

    "Okay." Tian Younian immediately agreed.

    "Um?"

    On the contrary, Zhao Han was a little surprised, because Tian Younian surrendered too readily.

    Tian Younian said: "My hometown is in Shaanxi, and the whole family died at the hands of bandits. Some time ago, there was news that my father and brother were also killed in battle. The Tian family has repaid Jun's kindness, and the rest should be considered for myself. I am in Yuanzhou Fucheng  There is a concubine who is almost two years old after giving birth to a son, this is the only incense left in the Tian family."

    Well, thanks to the rogue bandits in Shaanxi, Tian Younian's worries have been eliminated.

 Text 148【It’s not a false surrender】

    The two sides confront each other.

    Zhao Han ordered the trumpeter to prepare, and said to Tian Younian again: "Prefect Tian, ??in this situation, are you still planning to feign surrender?"

    It is true that there is no need to fight. Tian Younian's advantage is that he has more shooters, and his disadvantage is also that he has more shooters.

    Its military strength is only half of Zhao Han's at the moment, and it is surrounded on three sides.  If Zhao Han attacked regardless of casualties, the archer could only shoot one round, and the quick hand could shoot the second arrow, and then he would have to face close combat strangulation.

    "well!"

    Tian Younian untied his bow and arrow, threw it away together with his saber, walked out of the army formation alone and said, "Two men, just tie me up."

    Zhao Han really sent someone to tie up this guy, and Wuhuada tied him up in front of him.

    "I'm sorry," Zhao Han explained with a smile, "Tian Zhifu is a well-trained soldier, so I have to be on my guard. Besides, your surrender was so abrupt that I couldn't believe it."

    With his hands and feet tied, Tian Younian turned his head and shouted: "Everyone put down their weapons, this man will not kill indiscriminately!"

    Just when Huang Yao and Huang Shun were receiving the soldiers, Zhao Han asked curiously, "Tian Zhifu seems to know me well?"

    "I have a scholar from Luling under my command," Tian Younian explained, "Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to win a hundred battles. To fight a war, you must find out the enemy's situation. After the autumn harvest last year, I sent out spies. I have already found out what you are doing.  Clear."

    "Good method!"

    Zhao Han was not surprised by this, probably not only Tian Younian's spies, Li Maofang and Wang Siren should also send spies.

    Tian Younian continued: "For rebels like you, we must either destroy them quickly, or defect to them as soon as possible. At the beginning, I made an appointment with Governor Li and Wang Qianshi, and we will send troops together after the Lantern Festival. And we can't divide the troops to avoid being caught by you."  Destroy each of them. After you went down to Fenyi County, I gathered troops and horses, trying to besiege you in Fenyi County, and let them quickly bring troops to join forces to besiege."

    "Do you think I can accomplish something?" Zhao Han asked.

    Tian Younian said with a wry smile: "Whether you will be successful or not, it's hard to say for the time being, this will definitely come to an end tomorrow."

    Tian Younian's hometown is in Shaanxi, and he himself comes from a military officer's family. No one is more familiar with the extent of Daming's rot than him.  His whole family was killed by bandits. Besides his parents, he had three sons and two nephews.  Some time ago, my father and brother also died in battle, so what hope can we have?

    The only hope is to rely on military exploits to fight for a wife.

    Ke Tian has been in Yuanzhou for more than four years. He first wiped out the bandits, and then wiped out the rebels. He also presented bows and arrows to the emperor every year.

    For such various contributions, only in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the emperor praised him once, sent him two taels of silver as a reward, and increased his monthly salary by six shi.  Then there was no response, no promotion, no reward.  Even the bow-making subsidy specially approved by the emperor was deducted by some bastard, anyway, the money did not leave the capital.

    Tian Younian's promotion path has been blocked by the court, and if he wants to continue to be promoted, he must send money to the official department.

    Or, make a great contribution in besieging Zhao Han!

    So Tian Younian was very active in military training, he could only make meritorious service by conquering Zhao Han, because all the money he exploited was used for military training, and he had no money to give gifts to those idiots in the official department.

    At this moment, he was besieged by Zhao Han's surprise attack, and his last hope was shattered.  He also wanted to keep his concubine and son in the city, and the last incense of his Tian family, what else could he do other than surrender?

    Not only surrender, but also sell teammates.

    Tian Younian suddenly said: "Governor Li Maofang and his minister Wang Siren should have received my secret report, and they may be gathering troops to rush to Fenyi County."

    "The Duchang Rebel Army is gone?" Zhao Han asked.

    Tian Younian replied: "It disappeared a month ago. The officers and soldiers besieged the city for many days, and the rebels began to fight among themselves. After fighting each other, they offered the city to surrender."

    ? Neither Zhao Han nor Tian Younian knew that Li Maofang and Wang Siren would not come to Fenyi County due to the sudden event in the north.

    ?Last winter, bandits ran across Henan, and the imperial court urgently dispatched troops from six provinces to encircle and suppress them.

    Before the officers and soldiers could complete the encirclement, the rogues rushed out of the encirclement and went straight to the ancestral grave of Lao Zhu's family - Fengyang.

    At this moment, Li Maofang and Wang Siren have sent troops, leading thousands of land and water troops to support Fengyang, the central capital.  Compared with the ancestral grave of the old Zhu's family, the Zhao bandits in Luling are nothing, and they can be encircled and suppressed slowly.

    Even if Zhao Han didn't attack at night and was besieged by Tian Younian in Fenyi County, the final outcome would be the same, because Tian Younian couldn't wait for reinforcements.

    As for Emperor Chongzhen, he used to cover his private house and refused to give money.

    But since it was used once for disaster relief, there must be a second time.  His family's ancestral graves are in danger, tens of thousands of troops are underpaid, Chongzhen finally? Said: "I know your way. After two days, I will release the domestic slaves and change their labor contracts. If you believe me, I will help you take the whole Yuanzhou mansion. If you don't believe me, I will go back to Ji'an with you.  .”

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "It's not that I don't trust you sir, but that I have no intention of taking over Yuanzhou, and I will return to the army immediately after a day's rest. By the way, I want to take all the craftsmen of Yuanzhou Weapons Institute away!"

    "Okay, I'll help you gather craftsmen." Tian Younian said.

    Zhao Han couldn't help laughing: "Mr. descended so fast and cooperated in every possible way. I still can't believe it."

    "I bought this official," Tian Younian asked, "Do you know what official I bought?"

    "Sir, please tell me." Zhao Han said.

    Tian Younian sneered: "The magistrate of Jiangning spent tens of thousands of taels of silver!"

    Awesome, although Jiang Ning is attached to Guo Nanjing, but the oil and water are definitely very rich, it is really amazing to be able to buy this official.

    Tian Younian continued: "Most of the money I earned in Jiangning was fed to the Donglin Party. At that time, Wei Zhongxian was in power, and the Donglin Party was very poor. It was so rare for me to send charcoal in the snow. After Wei Zhongxian fell, guess what happened?"

    "Donglin Party has turned its face and denied people?" Zhao Han asked.

    Tian Younian sighed and said: "I continued to work in Jiangning for a year and wiped out the Jiangning bandits. I had to give money to get a head of the household department. The fat job only worked for a year before being sent to Yuanzhou  Come to be the magistrate, don't think about the old love at all!"

    From the magistrate of Jiangning to the head of the household department, he has been promoted two levels in a row, which must be regarded as a high promotion.

    From the head of the household department to the magistrate of Yuanzhou, he has been promoted four times in a row, but this is hard to say.  A fat and short Beijing official who is sent out to be a magistrate of a poor place needs to look at the future development.

    "When we arrived in Yuanzhou," Tian Younian said with a chuckle, "I was forgotten by the Donglin Party, and my previous friendship was gone. After all, I am from Shaanxi, and I was born in Juren, so I am not with them. These bastards,  I am used to crossing rivers and tearing down bridges!"

    The magistrate is a hurdle, and it is very difficult to get promoted.

    Some unlucky people, from one place to another, can be a magistrate for more than twelve years, and then slowly waste time in participating in councils and politics, and spend their entire lives in circles.

    Tian Younian is the kind who cannot be promoted. In his official career, he can at most be mixed up with a third rank to participate in politics, and he can't even get involved in politics without giving money.

    There is no hope of promotion, no family to drag you down, and you have to keep the incense, what burden do you have to be a thief?

    However, Tian Younian would not choose to be a thief if he was promoted normally according to his political achievements.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 149 [Faction Contradictions] (addition for the leader "the friend with the two-hand pattern who can't get the ID")

    Bow makers and kiln workers were taken away by Zhao Han with their families. The total number of women and children exceeded four thousand.

    It is difficult to deal with the elite soldiers, mainly because they are reluctant to part with their families.

    It's okay to insist on taking the surrendered soldiers away, but it's hard to tell the morale of the army, and one day they may turn against each other before the battle.

    Therefore, Zhao Han specially stayed for a few more days, and the stragglers went to various villages to "pick up" their families.  It was delayed for another sixteen days, and the Lantern Festival was over in the blink of an eye.

    The boats were used to transport supplies. Apart from those recruited by Tian Younian, Zhao Han also snatched more than a dozen boats himself.

    Elderly people, young and young children also sat in the boat, and the rest all proceeded along the river bank.  After joining up with Fei Ruhe from Fenyi County, the entire team has tens of thousands of people, marching towards the Ganjiang River.

    Arriving outside Xinyu (Xinyu) County, Tian Younian went ashore in person, and shouted at the base of the city: "I am Tian Younian, the prefect of Yuanzhou. I am going to Ji'an to suppress bandits. Hurry up and collect food and grass!"

    Damn the bandits, they stayed in Fucheng for half a month, and the news had already spread to Xinyu County, everyone knew that the prefect of Yuanzhou was a thief.

    New Yuzhi County can't be offended. Seeing bandits dragging their families with them, it seems that they are just passing by here, and immediately ask the big households in the city to prepare food and grass.  It's like spending money to buy peace, and it took half a day to get a thousand stones, and a merchant ship as a gift, and carefully sent the anti-thief gifts out of the country.

    After walking for another two hours, it was already evening, so we camped by the river to rest.

    A small boat sailed back, and the spy reported: "From here to the north of Zhangshu Town, there are no officers and soldiers from the general town."

    "Okay, you go to rest." Zhao Han said.

    Tian Younian frowned and said: "It shouldn't be, the army of Li Maofang and Wang Siren should have arrived in Zhangshu Town after receiving my secret letter."

    "It doesn't matter, let's go back and talk about it first." Zhao Han didn't bother to think about what happened to the governor.

    Four days later.

    Zhao Han led a large army to Zhangshu Town, which belongs to the medicine capital of the world and is the distribution center of traditional Chinese medicine in the whole south.

    Zhangshu Town, Jingdezhen, Hekou Town, and Wucheng Town are known as the four famous towns in Jiangxi.  Back then, when Wang Yangming put down King Ning's rebellion, he gathered troops in Zhangshu Town and went northward.

    This place is extremely prosperous, and the number of merchants in a town is more than that of Zhao Han's Ji'an City.

    Merchants have long been aware of the thieves, the shops are closed one after another, the merchant ships also fled to the north, and there are not many people in sight even at the pier.

    The material fleet entered the Ganjiang River and returned to Ji'an along the south.

    ?There were constant spies paddling small boats to the north to investigate the information of the officers and soldiers. Finally, on the ninth day, news came back that the governor led the troops to the Yangtze River waterway.

    "It must be the rogue bandits from the Northwest who have flooded into the territory under the jurisdiction of Southern Zhili." Tian Younian guessed.

    Zhao Han knew that Zhu's family's ancestral grave had been dug, but he forgot the year. He smiled and said, "The rebels may have gone to Zhongdu (Fengyang)."

    Tian Younian was taken aback, nodded and said, "Very likely!"

    A few days later, the spies had passed the boundary of Xiajiang County, and the spies finally came back to report: "Northwest rebels have entered the south from Henan!"

    This information is very late. When Zhao Han was still in Yuanzhou Mansion, the bandits had captured Fengyang.

    In Fengyang City, the central capital where thousands of people were stationed, the rogues took advantage of the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival and sent 300 soldiers in disguise to enter the city.

    Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong were all involved. The imperial mausoleum was destroyed, the temples were burned, and the Longxing Temple (Huangjue Temple) where Zhu Yuanzhang became a monk was burned.  Thousands of officers and soldiers in Fengyang were killed even if they surrendered, and more than 60 eunuchs were also killed.  The rogues raised the banner of "Gu Yuan Zhenlong Emperor" and drank happily in front of the ancestral grave of Lao Zhu's family.

    It was Zhang Xianzhong who proclaimed himself emperor, and Zhang Xianzhong also took down Fengyang City. Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng ran a little slowly.

    As for Emperor Gu Yuan Zhenlong, that is a legend of the White Lotus Sect.  In order to win over the White Lotus Sect, Zhang Xianzhong assumed the title of Emperor, and fell out with Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng because of this.

    They are all brothers who rebelled together. If you suddenly proclaim yourself emperor, then what should I be?

    After that, the spoils were distributed unevenly, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong had a complete falling out.

    Li Zicheng walked northwest and went up the Yellow River.

    Zhang Xianzhong was walking south. At this moment, he was besieging Quanjiao. He wanted to cross the river and occupy the capital of Nanjing

    In mid-February.

    The Jiangxi army of Li Maofang and Wang Siren set off eagerly by boat, wanting to protect the emperor's ancestral tomb.

    On the way, I heard that Fengyang had fallen and the bandits were attacking Quanjiao.  So, the two got off the boat by the Yangtze River and went to rescue Quanjiao on foot. They were considered loyal to the king and the country.

    &Thinking: "Your Excellency is"

    Tian Younian replied: "Tian Younian, the magistrate of Yuanzhou, when Meng Angong was the Minister of the Ministry of War, he was the head of the Ministry of Households in Xiayang."

    "It turned out to be Mr. Tian." Li Banghua was very surprised, but Zhao Han actually subdued the prefect of Yuanzhou.

    Chen Maosheng stood beside him with a gloomy expression on his face.

    Pang Chunlai looked across the Gan River, completely ignoring the scene in front of him.

    Zhao Han felt that the atmosphere was very strange, something must have happened, which caused conflicts between Li Banghua, Pang Chunlai and Chen Maosheng.

    After returning to the General Military Mansion, Xiao Huan handed over a letter.

    Zhao Han opened it and saw that it was sealed as a suicide note.

    Written by a female member of the mission team, she used to be a prostitute in Ji'an Prefecture, and later joined the mission team.  Just during the Chinese New Year, the mission group organized performances in the countryside to visit grassroots officials and peasant association members in various towns.

    In the middle of the journey, I got help from the mayor's home. The mayor was a recruiter from a thief. Because of his outstanding performance in dividing the land and his high education, he was quickly promoted to mayor.

    This guy doesn't know what to do, but he is greedy for the beauty of female missionaries.  Or, thinking that the other party has been a prostitute before and doesn't care about bed affairs, she even insulted the female missionary in the middle of the night.

    The next morning, when the mission leader learned about this, he immediately sent the mayor to report to the authorities.

    Ouyang Zheng, the county magistrate, suddenly felt overwhelmed, so he could only hand over the case to the General Military Office, because the mayor and the missionary team were involved.

    Li Banghua and Pang Chunlai quarreled over this, and the female missionary teacher became more and more delusional, and even left a suicide note to commit suicide. Fortunately, a good sister discovered it in time.

    Chen Maosheng was so angry that he not only wanted to dismiss the mayor, but also accused him of raping women.

    Officials of the Jishui faction also united, thinking that a prostitute pretending to be a martyr and committing suicide by leaving a letter is just acting.

    The contradiction between the veteran faction and the Jishui faction broke out all at once.

    Zhao Han sighed: "The expansion is still too fast. Those scholars are still thinking before. It's time to kill a few!" &lt;/div&gt

 Text 150 [Rectify the interior]

    In the garden, the spring is warming up, and the flowers have opened one after another.

    Pang Chunlai came over with a cane, which was more like a wayfinder, so as not to see clearly and stumble over stones.

    "Sir, please sit down." Zhao Han helped him make tea.

    Pang Chunlai sat down, didn't pick up his teacup, and said straight to the point: "Those scholars have been cured, not only Jishui scholars, but also scholars from Luling and Anfu counties. The gentry from the three counties are converging. Since the bandits ravaged Nanzhi,  They really believe you can get things done."

    This statement seems to be very contradictory. The northwestern bandits criss-crossed the southern Zhili, tearing off another fig leaf of the imperial court.  Scholars in Ji'an felt that Zhao Han could do something, so they really wanted to take refuge in him, but why do they need to punish these people?

    No contradiction!

    The gentry are trying to steal the fruits of the rebellion, not to overthrow Zhao Han, they also need Zhao Han to lead, but they want to control more power.

    Zhao Han asked: "What do you think of this case, sir?"

    Pang Chun said: "We must be severely punished, otherwise the prestige of the General Military Mansion will be discredited. The missionaries are sent by the General Military Mansion and the Datong Association. What are they trying to do?"

    "What else?" Zhao Han asked again.

    "No, this is my proposition, it must be severely punished!" Pang Chun said.

    Zhao Han asked Xiyue to send Pang Chunlai away, and brought another teacup, and soon Li Banghua came in.

    Li Banghua looked a little tired, and sighed: "Brother Pang, I actually didn't want to argue with him."

    Zhao Han asked: "What does Mr. Li think?"

    Li Banghua said: "It's wrong to insult women, let alone a female missionary teacher, but the death penalty must never be imposed. Now, the scholars from the three counties have returned to their hearts, and only a few are still harboring ulterior motives. In such a situation, one case cannot be  Let the scholars of the three counties be dissociated from their virtues, and if they can't bear it, they will make big plans. I think that they should be dismissed from the position of mayor, ordered to pay money, and fined ten acres of land as a warning."

    "I understand." Zhao Han said.

    Sending Li Banghua away, Zhao Han couldn't help but sigh.

    Whether it was Pang Chunlai or Li Banghua, Zhao Han was very disappointed.

    Pang Chunlai was deeply afraid of the gentry class from the perspective of the general military mansion and the low-level scholars.  His insistence on severely punishing criminals is purely to maintain the prestige of the General Military Mansion, but also to attack those gentry who try to control power.

    Li Banghua focused on "stability and unity", and still felt that the upper-class scholars were more worthy of relying on, and they would be needed to govern the world in the future.  Now that the scholars have returned to their hearts, they should take the opportunity to speed up their development and occupy the entire Ji'an Mansion as soon as possible.

    In this, there is also Li Banghua's hard work. It was his earnest persuasion and personal persuasion that made the scholars of the three counties gradually recognize Zhao Han.

    However, neither Pang Chunlai nor Li Banghua took the victims seriously!

    So what if a good prostitute becomes a missionary?  It's not that he hasn't been slept with before, it's no big deal to be slept with again, the other party is a juren.

    Chen Maosheng was immediately invited in, and excitedly said upon meeting: "You must be hanged according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty"! A prostitute is not a good person if she is a good one? If a woman from a good family is insulted, look at what these scholars say! Also, that is a missionary,  These bastards don’t pay attention to the missionary! If this person is not hanged, what will the missionary do in the future?”

    "Very good." Zhao Han expressed satisfaction.

    Chen Maosheng finally looked at the problem from the perspective of the victim, instead of purely focusing on tactics and the overall situation like Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua.

    In other words, Chen Maosheng can empathize with him, and he has been slept by gentry countless times.  If any gentry dares to come to sleep with him now, this guy must be desperate.

    In Chen Maosheng's view, good prostitutes also have dignity, and good prostitutes do not want to be raped.

    After sending Chen Maosheng away, Fei Chun was invited in again.

    Zhao Han asked: "What do you think?"

    Fei Chun said: "Our grain store has been built, and several granaries have been repaired. However, the landlords who surrendered voluntarily did not have their grain confiscated, which left a hidden danger. It is now February, and there is no harvest. The land was divided after the autumn harvest last year.  Although the peasants are not going to starve, they are still short on food. Luling, Jishui, and Anfu, the grain merchants in the three counties are connecting together, stockpiling grain and not releasing goods, and wanting to deliberately raise the price of grain in the city.  usual trick."

    Zhao Han was a little surprised that Fei Chun actually said this.

    Fei Chun said: "When Mr. Li was in charge of the grain business, those grain merchants and landlords still gave face. After Mr. Li left office, I took full charge of the grain business, and these bastards started to mess around. In order to stabilize grain prices,  I released half of the stored grain in the warehouse! The gentry of the three counties, whose land was confiscated, can no longer??If he can win the world, Liu Fang can be at least six ministers, and it is not impossible to become a minister in the cabinet.

    Just because my younger brother got married to a rich family, his future was directly ruined?

    Within a day, all eight officials of the General Military Mansion were transferred and demoted. This matter attracted everyone's attention.

    With a quick mind, he quickly summed up the common points, those are all people who are married to the big clan!

    As for the officials outside the general military mansion, Zhao Han didn't move for the time being, and didn't bother to move, just write it down in a small book.

    Just because he doesn't move doesn't mean the person involved isn't afraid, the signal is too obvious.

    The next step is to divorce wives on a large scale, and those who are engaged to divorce quickly.  The gentry involved were so angry that they went to the county government to file a lawsuit, saying that it was unreasonable for their daughter to be divorced.

    February 28th.

    Xiao Huan took the officials, followed by Li Zheng and five hundred soldiers, and went straight to Zou's house outside the east gate of Jishui by boat.

    "The back door and the side door are all fenced up, and no one is allowed to let go!" Xiao Huan ordered.

    The Zou family was panicked, and an old man was helped out: "Master Xiao, thishow did this happen?"

    Xiao Huan took out a document: "Order of the General Military Administration, the Zou family in the east gate of Jishui, destroyed the government of dividing land. At the beginning of October last year, more than 6,000 mu of land from the clan was donated to Qingyuan Temple as a temple farm.  I haven't come to the government to report! What does your Zou family want to do?"

    The old man quickly explained: "So that Master Xiao will know, this old man believes in Buddhism"

    "Don't talk too much, Qingyuan Temple is also being searched," Xiao Huan sneered, "If you believe in Buddhism, you can share a cell with the abbot of Qingyuan Temple, and you can slowly discuss Buddhism in prison!"

    Qingyuan Temple outside Jishui County is the ancestral home of the Qingyuan School of Zen Buddhism.

    Not only that, when Wang Yangming was an official in Jiangxi, the first place to give lectures was Qingyuan Temple, with the Buddhist hall as the lecture hall.  Therefore, Qingyuan Temple not only has great influence in Buddhism, but also the integration of Zen and Confucianism is deeply respected by scholars.

    Zou Yuanbiao, the dead Zou family in the east gate, had disciples all over Ji'an, and even Li Banghua was a student of Zou Yuanbiao.

    What are these guys trying to do together?

    Even if there is no chaos, it must be suppressed as a model!

    Seeing that Zou's house was ransacked, Li Banghua was so frightened that he hurriedly came to see Zhao Han: "General Town, you have used too much force, how can you govern like this!" &lt;/div&gt

 Text 151【Punishment】

    "Mr. Li, please sit down." Zhao Han smiled.

    Li Banghua said anxiously: "How can I sit still? The Zou family cannot be copied. Once the house is copied, the scholars of the three counties will be renounced."

    Since Li Banghua didn't sit down, Zhao Han sat down by himself: "I know that Mr. Nangao (Zou Yuanbiao) has disciples all over the world. Mr. Li is also a direct disciple of Mr. Nangao."

    "I'm not interceding for my teacher's family," Li Banghua had to explain patiently, "The Zou family really can't move!"

    Confiscating Zou's house is tantamount to stabbing a hornet's nest, of course Zhao Han knows it very well.

    Zou Yuanbiao himself, together with ** Xing and Gu Xiancheng, are called "Three Monarchs of Donglin".  Zou Yuanbiao's only son, Zou Sui, died of illness while working in the frontier.  Zou Sui's two sons and a nephew were sacrificed by King Jinqin to kill the Tartars.

    Anyway, the Zou family is really loyal and patriotic.

    ?The three juniors of the Zou family were distributing money to raise bravery, and they walked faster than the governor at that time.  They set off from Jiangxi to Beijing, and the Tartars hadn't left yet. They fought the Tartars with real swords and guns until they died for their country.

    Zou Yuanbiao's lineage has actually been cut off, and only his adopted descendants took refuge in Zhao Han.

    Famous all over the world, with many disciples, unparalleled loyalty, this is the Zou family of the East Gate, and now Zhao Han ransacked their home.

    Within the jurisdiction, it is estimated that many spectators, including the low-level scholars loyal to Zhao Han, will stand up to defend the Zou family.

    If you are playing computer games and checking the negative effects of the Zhou family, it is very likely that "stability will be reduced by one".

    Zhao Han suddenly sneered and said: "Mr. Li, what do you think I can occupy the land of the three counties? What do you rely on? Do you rely on the gentry?"

    "It depends on the division of land." Li Banghua knew very well in his heart.

    Zhao Han asked again: "The Zou family destroyed the land administration. Before dividing the land, they secretly donated thousands of acres of land to Qingyuan Temple as a temple field. This is to dig the foundation of my rule. How can I forgive it so easily?"

    Li Banghua sighed and said: "If it's really just for Tianzheng, why would the Zou family be seized now. I actually understand what Zongzhen is thinking. It's nothing more than suppressing the gentry. But there must be a limit to the suppression. The gentry have already donated their land. They  Step back, we can't keep pressing, otherwise we will inevitably lose our morals."

    "They are retreating? They are forcing me to do something!" Zhao Han was furious, "They are all reaching out to my military mansion!"

    Li Banghua persuaded: "It is indeed easy to form cliques with private relatives, but as long as it is controlled within a certain limit, it will be conducive to the loyalty of the gentry."

    This is a matter of ideology. In order to win over the gentry and powerful factions, the soldiers of the past dynasties will not stop this kind of marriage relationship, and the lord will even take the initiative to marry the rich.

    For example, Liu Xiu, the son of the plane, first married Yin Lihua, a wealthy daughter, and after only one year, he married Guo Shengtong, the niece of King Zhending.

    Li Banghua was really thinking about Zhao Han. After the gentry got married like this, they would definitely be more loyal to Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han didn't appreciate it, and said, "Are they loyal to me? No, they are loyal to the family's future. I don't want to create a situation that is only three counties, and the officials under the rule are already intertwined! They want power,  Just do things honestly, I will promote them instead of corrupting my subordinates! Mr. Li, do you want to create a Jishui party in Ji'an? You have suffered from party struggles in Beijing, and you still want me to rule  Can the ministers and officials eat it again?"

    ?This is a heartbreaking statement, Li Banghua said angrily: "I have no intention of forming a clique, and I never want to be the leader of the Jishui Party!"

    "If you don't do it, they will force you to do it!" Zhao Han fixed his eyes on Li Banghua.

    Li Banghua was thinking a lot, and suddenly sighed, not knowing what to say.

    "Headquarters!"

    Liu Zhu hurriedly came to report: "Outside the general's mansion, hundreds of scholars gathered, clamoring to come in to intercede with the Zou family."

    Zhao Han sneered and said: "The Zou family really has face. I arrested people yesterday, and today they can gather so many people."

    Li Banghua sat on the spot, feeling that he was not a human being inside and out. He was sandwiched between Zhao Han and the gentry, and it seemed that it was wrong to speak for either side.

    Zhao Han went out and came outside the general's mansion. Hundreds of scholars saw him coming, and collectively bowed and shouted: "Please forgive me, the general!"

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Han changed his face and became extremely fast, how could he be even half angry?  He said with joy on his face: "I like you very much that you can come today."

    A scholar said happily: "The general town is willing to release the Zou family?"

    Zhao Han walked among these scholars and said with a smile: "You guys can come to petition today, so you can see that you have recognized me, Mr. Zhao, from the bottom of your heart. Otherwise, it is not a petition together, but a secret conspiracy. If you can get the honor of the gentlemennbsp; In the interrogation last night, a group of middle-level monks were tortured to extract confessions, and these high-level monks were allowed to listen to the screams all the time.

    It was false not to be afraid in my heart, and immediately a monk knelt down and said: "General Town, the Zou family donated an acre of land, and the land rent from the Zou family will be divided into half and half with Qingyuan Temple."

    This news was tortured out last night.

    Zhao Han smiled and asked Liu Tongsheng: "Liu Juren, the land rent is split in half. Is this a donation to the monastery, or is it maliciously concealing the land?"

    "This" Liu Tongsheng was speechless.

    Zhao Han said to the rest of the scholars: "All the land of your family has been divided up. The Zou family has kept thousands of acres of land, and rented it to the monks. You who don't have a few acres of land, instead run away  Come to intercede for the Zou family who have hidden thousands of acres. What is this for? Forgive me for being stupid, I really can't figure it out."

    Hundreds of scholars looked at each other, feeling cheated.

    Don't worry about scarcity but inequality. Everyone has divided the fields. Why does your Zou family hide thousands of acres?

    Immediately, some scholars turned and left. Zou Yuanbiao did leave a blessing, which is worthy of the admiration of local scholars, but it is not to the point where the scholars take advantage of the Zou family.

    Li Banghua stood at the door, watching all this silently, he knew that the Zou family was completely ruined.

    Zhao Han not only ransacked Zou's home, but also ruined Zou's reputation.

    Punishment!  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 152 [Gentlemen Escape] (addition for the leader "SAYBYESAYHI")

    Jishui, Wu Jiatang.

    Although the Liu family has been divided into two households, it is only reflected in the household registration book, and they still live together in the ancestral mansion.

    Many helpers in the family were sent home during the day.

    ? At midnight, Liu Tongsheng went out in the dark. Twenty-six people followed behind him, including children!

    Regardless of men and women, they all leave with tenderness.

    Liu Tongsheng is forty-nine years old, but his body is still relatively strong.

    Historically, he won the first prize in the examination. Chongzhen asked his age and replied fifty-one.  Chongzhen praised: "You look like a young man!"

    Liu Tongsheng himself carried more than 30 catties of silver, and his brothers, nephews, and nephews also carried silver.

    A family of twenty or so came to the small river in the dark, and Liu Tongsheng fell on the way.

    Boats have been prepared by the river for a long time, and for fear of falling into the water, only the lanterns can be lit when boarding the boat.  Driving from the small river to the Tongjiang River, and from the Tongjiang River to the Ganjiang River, at dawn, it has already left the boundary of Jishui County.

    After dividing the fields, their family still has more than 400 mu of land, and now they don't want it!

    Their family still has more than 2,000 shi of grain, and they don't want it anymore!

    Even, there is still some silver at home, and I really can't move it, so I don't want it!

    Giving up everything, the whole family fled Jishui, just because they couldn't see hope and felt aggrieved living in Zhao Han's territory.

    In history, Liu Tongsheng was still far away from Jishui County when the Manchu Qing invaded Jiangxi.  He abandoned the land, moved his family to Fujian, and then donated his property to recruit soldiers to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

    It can also be regarded as an anti-Qing patriot.

    Zhao Han forcibly divided the land, and Liu Tong was promoted to the Bao family. He could choose to be patient for the time being, but there were some things he couldn't bear.

    First, slavery is not allowed.  Even if you can have servants, is it as convenient as before?  Moreover, child labor is not allowed, and there are no servants under the age of twelve.

    Second, concubines are not allowed.  This decree is not enforced, and the government will only stop it when the concubine reports to the government.

    Although he strictly complied with the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", Liu Tongsheng was very upset.  If everything is done in accordance with the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", then the life of the gentry will not be able to live.

    The "Law of the Ming Dynasty" not only forbids common people to keep slaves, but also forbids landlords to use tenants to carry sedan chairs.

    If it is said that the first two items can be tolerated, then what Liu Tongsheng cannot tolerate the most is Zhao Han's extreme disrespect for talents!

    Liu Tongsheng is not only good at stereotypes, but also proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He even studied military books and spells.

    But after defecting to Zhao Han, Liu Tongsheng was only given two choices.

    One is to take an ordinary civilian job in the General Military Mansion, and the other is to go to the countryside to assist the peasant association in dividing the land.

    Liu Tongsheng first chose to be a civil servant, and became impatient after working for a few days, because it was the work of civil servants.  He is a dignified man, but he was thrown to be a swordsman, and he was the most ordinary swordsman.

    Then, Liu Tongsheng applied to go to the countryside to divide the land, but this time he only persisted for one day.

    He thought he was going to direct the division of the field, but when he got to the field, he actually had to go down to the field to measure it himself.  This is no longer the work of civil officials, but soap officials.

    What is soap official?

    It is a lowly labor, which is like a lowly nationality, and children and grandchildren cannot participate in the imperial examination!

    Liu Tongsheng felt a great insult in the two jobs before and after.

    One of his Juren friends, in order to cling to the rebels, took an active part in dividing the land, and was promoted to mayor in an exceptional way because of this.

    But what the hell is the mayor?

    There are eight towns in Luling County and seven towns in Jishui County.  The mayor of Najishui County is equivalent to one-seventh of a county magistrate?

    This kind of rural official position is not suitable for Liu Tongsheng!

    What's even more exasperating is that that Juren friend was arrested and awaiting trial just because he slept with a prostitute.

    Liu Tongsheng's younger brother married a concubine's daughter to an official of the General Military Mansion, hoping to get the care of the General Military Mansion.

    However, the officials of the General Military Mansion who were married to the rich were all demoted by Zhao Han, leaving no room for the gentry at all.

    Liu Tongsheng hated all these kinds of perverse actions.

    He would rather not have land, no food, and run away with only money, and he would never live under Zhao Han's rule.

    Liu Tongsheng stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the beautiful scenery of spring on both sides of the river. He felt so happy, like a free bird out of the cage.

    As for the fields, the ragged and hard-working farmers have automatically become an embellishment in the beautiful scenery

    General Military Mansion.

    ? Xiao Huan came in and reported: "In Zongzhen, more than a dozen gentry families have escaped with their families. It is impossible for us to send people all day long."Fei Yuanjian is now the director of Luling County, and Liu Ziren is the director of Jishui County, responsible for managing the affairs of the entire county government.

    Fei Chun asked, "When will that case be tried?"

    "After half a month, I will come to the trial in person, if you want to attend the trial, you can come." Zhao Han said

    Chongzhen eight years, April.

    The military budget of the Ming Dynasty is 7.86 million shi, and the Ministry of Liberation of each province is 6.8 million shi. There is still a shortage of 1 million shi for military expenditure.

    Hong Chengchou, governor of the five provinces, ordered Deng Qi, the general of Sichuan, to guard Fancheng.  The general made a fuss about the salary and killed Deng Qi's two servants.  The dignified Sichuan general was so frightened that he jumped over the wall and fled. Many fires broke out in the city. Deng Qi got into the fire alley and couldn't get out. He was burned to death.

    Shen Youlong, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Zou Weilian, governor of Fujian, sent troops to the north one after another.

    None of them came to Jiangxi immediately, but first cleared up the bandits at the junction of Fujian, Guangdong, and Jiangxi. The rebels and bandits had been making trouble for several years.

    Especially the anti-thieves in western Fujian, who plundered many counties across the country, and immediately entered the mountains when they encountered officers and soldiers.

    Facing the encirclement and suppression of Guangfu and Fujian provinces, the rebels on the border of the three provinces unite and nominate He Zhiyuan of Ruijin as their leader.  More than 30,000 peasant troops began to fight guerrillas against the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi and the governors of Fujian in the mountains.

    Want to go north to conquer Zhao Han?

    Please settle the rebels on the border of the three provinces first!

    Before the trial date came, Xiao Huan came to report in a hurry: "General Town, Pingxiang County, Yichun County, Fenyi County, and Yongxin County are all reversed!"

    "When did it happen?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xiao Huan replied: "The general town led the troops to leave Yuanzhou Mansion, and the tenants in Yichun County rebelled, and Fenyi County and Pingxiang County also rebelled. It spread southward to Yongxin County, and then to Taihe County. Our  Around the site, a total of six counties rebelled."

    "Let them kill the landlord slowly, and I'll finish it after I kill them." Zhao Han is getting more and more cold-blooded and black-bellied now.

    It is not unusual for the counties in central Jiangxi to rebel.

    The impact brought by Zhao Han was only to advance the uprising and make it even bigger.

    Historically, after Xie Xuelong left Jiangxi, people in Anfu, Yongxin, Luling, and Pingxiang counties rose up one after another. The main sources of rebels were tenants, servants, and domestic slaves.

    The reason for the uprising was that the people couldn't survive, and the imperial court suddenly increased their salaries, and it happened to be a year of catastrophe.

    In a sense, Zhao Han saved the life of the big landlord who offered to donate his land.

    Without Zhao Han, these landlords would not only lose their family property, but also be killed by the uprising people to the point of bloodshed.

    Is it an unreasonable act of robbery to forcibly divide the landlord's property?

    Hehe, Zhao Han is already very reasonable.  The irrational peasant army is really unreasonable, they only talk with sickles and hoes!

    In April of this year, the gentry in Zhao Han's territory were trembling with fear from the news from the surrounding area.

    Even so, Zhao Han seemed to become kind-hearted. After all, this master only wanted land, not money, food or life.

    (I just found out that there is a new leader, thank you for the reward of watching the world for the second time, and thank you all book friends for your reward and subscription!) &lt;/div&gt

 Text 153 [Law of the Ming Dynasty]

    Fei Yinggong took his daughter Fei Ruhui and the black servant Tienu all the way to Ji'an Mansion by boat.

    He is an aspiring cultural bandit. He wanted to build a paradise after his official career was hopeless and he was wanted.  It is to kill the notorious big landlords, and become landlords themselves and their subordinates, and then distribute a few acres to the farmers, without paying exorbitant taxes to the government.

    This is fundamentally different from Zhao Han!

    ? Fei Yinggong belongs to changing the soup but not the medicine. Apart from not paying taxes to the government, what else has changed?  He now has more than a dozen domestic slaves.

    However, Tianhe Town and the surrounding villages he occupied can be regarded as a paradise, at least the people at the bottom will not starve to death.

    It's a pity that the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop, and he will lose his paradise.

    Anfu County to the north and Luling County to the east belong to Zhao Han's territory.  To the west is Yongxin County, and there is also a Dianjia uprising, which has broken through the county seat and killed officials.

    Fei Yinggong was caught among a bunch of rebels and had to think about what to do in the future.

    After disembarking at the south of the city pier, Fei Ruhui said in surprise, "Daddy, this place is really prosperous, it doesn't look like a rebel's territory at all."

    "It's more than prosperous," Fei Yinggong sighed, "It's much more prosperous than the last time I came here."

    It was three years ago that Fei Yinggong passed by Ji'an Mansion last time.  At that time, there were eunuchs collecting taxes indiscriminately, the customs clearance reduced the number of merchant ships passing through this place, and the heavy tax spread caused some merchants to close their doors. As a result, the business of Ji'an Prefecture became increasingly depressed.

    After Zhao Han ruled Fucheng, the banknotes were gone, and there were more merchant ships passing by.

    The more merchant ships, the more local consumption, stimulating the growth of shops and vendors.  At the same time, Zhao Han also exempted last year's door stall tax. This year's door stall tax was collected according to the first year of Chongzhen, which continued to stimulate the prosperity of traders.

    Not only that, the people around Fucheng have obtained land, their income has increased significantly, and their consumption power has naturally increased, which has also stimulated the prosperity of business.

    Fei Yinggong saw many people heading towards the east ferry of the city. He couldn't help stopping one and asked, "Old Cousin, what's going on at Bailuzhou, why are you all going there?"

    "Mr. Zhao personally tried the case today, and I'm going to watch the excitement." The man replied.

    Hearing the words, Fei Yinggong also took his daughter and Heisi to the east ferry of the city and waited to go to Jiangxinzhou.

    From the east of the city to Bailuzhou, there is only one ferry, and there are not many people coming and going.  Today, the boatman was very happy. Thousands of people lined up to take the boat, and even attracted several passenger boats to compete for business.

    Fei Yinggong didn't want to queue up, so he chose to take a high-priced passenger boat and walked between the bookstore and the Pantheon.

    There is an open space there, surrounded by gardens, and even built a rockery pavilion.

    One after another, about a thousand people rushed in to attend the trial, and every corner of the garden was crowded with people.  Those who came slowly could only stand on the periphery, unable to hear what was said inside.

    On both sides of the open space, there are many stools, which should be the official auditorium, and you need a number plate issued by the General Military Office to be seated.

    Fei Yinggong saw Fei Ruhe and sat in the gallery with Fei Chun.

    He took his daughter to squeeze over there, and was soon stopped by the official: "Show the number plate!"

    "I am your fourth uncle, General Zhao." Fei Yinggong pointed to Fei Ruhe, who had already found out his nephew's alias.

    The officials didn't dare to neglect, and told them to wait where they were, and then ran to report to Fei Ruhe.

    Fei Ruhe was overjoyed, came over with Fei Chun, and said with a smile, "Why is fourth uncle here?"

    Fei Yinggong said: "I will discuss things with you, Mr. Zhao."

    "Sit inside quickly." Fei Ruhe immediately pulled Fei Yinggong inside.

    It was Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun who gave up their seats and let Fei Yinggong and his daughter sit down, while they themselves sat cross-legged on the ground.

    Fei Yinggong was surprised and said, "You general, can't you get two more stools?"

    Fei Ruhe explained: "Fourth Uncle, this is the auditorium. The General Military Mansion has a number plate. I can get a few more stools, but I have to go to the general town to discuss it. Why spend so much time?"

    Fei Yinggong didn't say much anymore, but he was very shocked in his heart. The rules here are really strict.

    The auditorium was filled one after another, all of whom were invited officials, gentry and academy students.

    In the back row of Fei Yinggong and his daughter were Tian Younian, Song Yingxing and Wang Diaoding. Song and Wang were chatting in low voices.

    "Soap class entry value!"

    An official yelled at the top of his voice.

    The Yamen servants came out with water and fire sticks and stood in two rows.

    "Judge, take your seat!"

    Huang Shunfu and Ouyang Zheng sat around the presiding judges, one was the magistrate of Luling County,?? Tried.

    However, as more and more concubines, clauses that violated the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" were continuously introduced.  For example, it is stipulated that officials are not allowed to take concubines from good families and prostitutes, and they are not allowed to take concubines when they are ordered to go to the place of envoy, and so on to restrain officials from taking concubines.

    Zhao Han's attitude towards taking concubines is that people don't raise officials and don't prosecute them, and you can't control if you take concubines quietly.

    But if someone comes to report to the official, report one and deal with one!

    While the gentry was in an uproar, it felt particularly nonsense.  Zhao Han, the traitor, actually opened his mouth and shut his mouth about "Law of the Ming Dynasty", making it look like an imperial court official.

    Zhao Han then said loudly again: "Emperor Taizu is a good emperor, and his "Law of the Ming Dynasty" should be obeyed. Don't look at me rebelling, if Emperor Chongzhen is willing to strictly enforce the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", I will immediately bind myself to the capital and lead him to death.  Thousands of cuts will not be spared! Taizu is a good emperor, Chengzu is a good emperor, Xianzong is a good emperor, but the rest of the emperors are all fools! The Ming Dynasty has been founded for nearly three hundred years, and there have been three good emperors.  How can I have a good life? How can I not stand up and rebel!"

    "good!"

    Chen Maosheng, Fei Chun and others took the lead in cheering.

    The officials and common people who were closer also cheered.

    Zhao Han asked Ouyang Zheng: "According to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", how should this case be judged?"

    "Hanging." Ouyang Zheng replied.

    Rapist, hanged.  Attempt to rape, one hundred battles, three thousand miles of exile.  If the victim is under the age of twelve, regardless of consent or reconciliation, it will be punished as rape!

    This is the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", China's first law "Punishing Doctors", which classifies officials as "people" to judge cases.

    And it is very specific and perfect, which has influenced the enactment of Chinese laws for hundreds of years.

    "Da Ming Law" also attaches great importance to contracts, and economic disputes are subject to contracts.

    Of course, this is exploited by the powerful and powerful to lure the common people into signing unreasonable contracts.

    "Law of the Ming Dynasty" even specific to street management: building houses, repairing gardens, if they occupy streets and roads, they will be punished sixty times and ordered to restore.  Holes were punched in the walls of their houses, the sewage was poured into the street, and they were whipped forty times.

    It is a pity that no matter how good the law is, it must be enforced, and the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" has long since become a dead letter.

    Don't talk about criminal cases, you can't even control the pollution of the streets.

    According to the records of European missionaries, the Chinese cities before Wanli were so clean that Europeans were dumbfounded.  Chinese cities after Wanli are full of stench and garbage everywhere!

    Even if the sanitation of the city is not good, can the country be governed to be stable and prosperous?

    "Hoo!"

    Zhao Han shouted: "Sentenced to be hanged, you don't have to wait until after autumn, you will be taken to the execution ground immediately!" &lt;/div&gt

 Body 154【Unreasonable】

    "I don't agree!"

    Wang Yuanlu suddenly yelled in horror.

    Huang Shunfu scolded: "Bold, the chief officer has made a verdict, don't shout at the court!"

    Zhao Han raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said with a smile, "Okay, I will convince you today, and if you have any objections, just say it."

    After all, Wang Yuanlu is a Juren, and his mind turned very fast: "Zongzhen, you judged me based on the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", but you have obeyed the "Law of the Ming Dynasty".  "?"

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone was horrified. This was saying that Zhao Han rebelled. Obviously, Wang Yuanlu broke the pot.

    "Hoo!"

    Zhao Han shouted: "Go to the "Ming Dagao"."

    Four servants came out holding the "Ming Dagao", which are: "The Imperial Letters", "The Continued Edition of the Imperial Letters", "The Third Edition of the Imperial Letters", and "The Great Imperial Letters".

    Zhu Di didn't use this thing because it was too cruel.

    But the amount of existence is too large. At that time, every household had a copy, and the teachers who made a living by teaching "Ming Dagao" gathered 190,000 people in Beijing at one time.

    Therefore, many people still keep it in their homes. As long as they hold the "Ming Dagao", they can reduce their first-class punishment for the crime of exile.

    Four ancient laws were carried out, and most of the hearing people were in a fog, and they didn't even know the existence of this thing.

    Zhao Han asked: "Do you know what this is?"

    Wang Yuanlu was also puzzled, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

    Zhao Han said: "This is the "Dagao" written by Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu said, "This is the foundation of the upper and lower, and the most precious treasure of the subjects. It must be distributed to the world. Every household must have it. Anyone who dares to be disrespectful and refuses to keep it is not my rule."  The people of Hua will move out of Hua, and they will never be ordered to return.’ It is also said that if you hold the "Dagao" in your hand, you can be charged with a cane stick in vain. If you don't have the "Dagao" in your hand, the crime will be increased!"

    There is such a thing?

    There is such a good thing?

    Many people want to get a copy of "Ming Da Gao", if you commit a crime, you can reduce your sentence!

    "You don't believe it?" Zhao Han said to the guard, "Hold it over and show it to him, and let him read a few articles to experience it."

    The moment Wang Yuanlu came into contact with "Ming Dagao", he knew that it was not a forgery, and he knew it at a glance if it had been printed for more than two hundred years.

    He casually flipped through a few pages, his scalp numb with fright.

    ?Officials on business trips need to take a bus, and the items they carry must be within ten catties.  For every five catties over the limit, ten lashes will be punished.  If the excess is more than 10 catties, the penalty will be doubled, that is, 20 lashes for every five catties.

    Corrupt officials, the lightest is to distribute to the frontier.  Those who have embezzled more than sixty taels will face torture such as owl head, skinning, and weeding.

    It also includes detailed case explanations. In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, the minister of the household department colluded with officials and gentry and seized seven million shi of stolen grain. Therefore, tens of thousands of officials and gentry were sentenced to death.

    Tens of thousands of people were killed in a corruption case!

    Trembling, Wang Yuanlu turned another page, and the magistrate of Yuyao engraved the official seal privately, deceiving the people into making false deeds.  After the incident, he bribed officials to get rid of the crime.  Sentence: Ink face tattoo, pointing fingers!

    Wang Yuanlu finally knew why the "Ming Da Gao" was abolished. This thing made corrupt officials unable to live.

    "Hoo!"

    Zhao Han said: "Emperor Taizu's "Ming Da Gao" stipulated that if there are corrupt officials, evil gentry and tyrants who harm the people, the people can turn them back to the capital. Even the people have the right to break into the government and arrest corrupt officials.  , dare to stop, and kill the whole family!"

    Including Ouyang Zheng and Huang Shunfu who were sitting next to Zhao Han, they were all dumbfounded on the spot. People rushed into the government to arrest corrupt officials?

    Fei Ruhe turned to look at Fei Yinggong: "Fourth Uncle, have you heard of it?"

    "No." Fei Yinggong shook his head.

    When Zhu Yuanzhang promulgated the "Ming Dagao", the Qianshan Fei family was still a small family.

    Zhao Han grieved and said: "In today's world, corrupt officials prosper, and evil gentry are everywhere. If they are all sent to Beijing, how can they be caught? I am not talented, and I want to restore the rule of Hongwu and eliminate the evils in the world. Corrupt officials, evil gentry  Powerful, hard to catch, hard to kill, a certain can only act on behalf of the government. Even if the emperor Taizu is resurrected, there must be no objection. Don't say that I am unreasonable. It is the emperor and the court who do not obey the ancestors  Law!"

    The rationale for the rebellion has been found, and we are doing things according to Zhu Yuanzhang's method.

    Zhao Han bullied everyone who hadn't read "Ming Da Gao". Zhu Yuanzhang was strict with corrupt officials, and he was even more ruthless with rebels.

    Zhao Han asked Wang Yuanlu, "What else do you want to say?"

    Wang Yuanlu trembled with fright, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.If I dare to obey the law and violate it, if I dare to form a party for personal gain, then I have to use the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" to speak!  If the "Da Ming Law" is useless, then use the "Ming Da Gao" to embezzle sixty taels of silver and peel the real grass!  "

    Zhao Han shouted: "Don't choose the execution ground, just hang here, and let the sages of the Pantheon watch!"

    "Main town, please spare me!"

    Wang Yuanlu didn't plead guilty anymore, his legs softened and he knelt down, kowtowing frantically to Zhao Han.

    Two officials came up with the rope, wrapped it around Wang Yuanlu's neck, and pulled it to the left and right at the same time.

    This is the hanging in China, which is much more decent than beheading, at least the whole body can be left.

    I saw Wang Yuanlu scratching the rope, kicking his feet wildly, his eyes getting bigger and bigger

    The gentry present couldn't bear to look at them, and many turned their heads to look elsewhere.

    Zhao Han shouted angrily: "I know that many officials, including those who are in charge, think that it is not a big deal to rape a woman who was born as a prostitute. Even if you accept her as a concubine afterward, it is still flattering the other party. Today we  Just to make it clear, for me, Juren is a human being, and a prostitute is also a human being, they are the same in terms of personality, and they are also the same in terms of law!"&lt;/div&gt

 Text 155 [Northern Expansion?  ] (addition for the leader "Weixi Style Valley")

    ,

    Li Banghua did not come to attend the trial, he had already guessed the result.

    What "Da Ming Law" and "Ming Da Gao" are all nonsense, the real purpose is to show the gentry.

    Wang Yuanlu, who was supposed to be set up as a model gentry, has now become a model of being suppressed!

    Enacting laws is a very forbidden thing, and it took 30 years to finalize the revisions and adjustments of the "Law of the Ming Dynasty".  Zhao Han was unable to make his own laws for the time being, so he compiled a temporary one. Random compilations are purely asking for trouble, and copying them will make people laugh.

    The Manchu Qing Dynasty did this kind of thing. After the rebellion, they insisted on creating their own Manchu script.

    Therefore, two so-called learned men were asked to create Manchu script after Mongolian script.  Before the Qing army entered the customs, the Manchu language existed in name only.  After entering the customs, it will be even more funny. Many things in the city, as well as many official positions in the court, cannot be expressed in Manchu.

    It is certain imperial edicts of the Qing Dynasty, which are written in Chinese, Manchu, and Mongolian. There is no problem with Chinese and Mongolian, but Manchu often has ambiguities.

    At least until Zhao Han occupies half of the country, the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" must be used to govern the people, and at most additions and deletions will be made on this basis.

    The gentry dispersed one after another, each with their own ghosts in their hearts.

    Some people think that Zhao Han can accomplish things, although they are very dissatisfied with his actions, but he seems to be a hero.  So, let all the scholars in the clan go out of the mountain, endure humiliation and bear the burden to be small officials, and even try to join the missionary group.

    For this kind of gentry, the tougher your wrist is, the more they will be convinced, and the more they think you can win the world.

    Some people also felt that Zhao Han was going against the grain and began to think about an escape plan, slowly transporting away the family's money and food, and then fled to Nanchang with his family.  He said to the outside world that he did not follow the thief, but was temporarily dormant, and now he has finally escaped from the thief's den.

    Zhao Han had been ambiguous before, but today he opened up, and the gentry made up their minds to stand in line.

    Because news has come from the north that the ancestral grave of the old Zhu family has been dug up, and the Dragon Veins of the Ming Dynasty have been left to be destroyed!

    Today, not to mention the court officials, even the local gentry, they all know that the Ming Dynasty is numbered.  Of course, they didn't think the Tartars could accomplish anything, and they all thought it was some kind of rebel who could reorganize the country.

    The destruction of the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum dealt a blow to Ming's prestige even more than the siege of Beijing.

    Zhao Han asked the civil servants to copy and distribute today's trial process to the officials of the three counties, and let the officials follow this practice to hear the case.

    Fei Yinggong was about to meet Zhao Han, but Song Yingxing had already stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "The general town has its own rules and regulations, and I am willing to follow it."

    "With Mr.'s help, great things can be accomplished." Zhao Han was very happy.

    For a sensible person like Song Yingxing, there is really no need to persuade him, just let him observe the administration by himself.  His several articles pointed out various key problems of Ming Dynasty, and Zhao Han's administration was to solve these problems!

    It can be said that it hit it off.

    Song Yingxing in history, after teaching for several years, his family paid for him to buy a genuine eight-rank official.  After only working for two years, he resigned and returned to his hometown.  Later, he was recommended as the magistrate. Not only was he not greedy, but he donated money to restore the government office and the academy, and he also resigned after working for half a year.  The small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty recruited him, but Song Yingxing simply refused.

    Song Yingxing had already despaired of Daming, because he had seen it too thoroughly, and he couldn't bring himself to be an official at all.

    Zhao Han's actions, in the eyes of others, are perverse, but in the eyes of Song Yingxing, they can help the world.  In his article on wealth, he repeatedly used words such as "exploitation" and "cutting and cutting", and he deeply hated the exploitation of small people by big households.

    Zhao Han did something he didn't dare to do, or even think about!

    Zhao Han pulled Song Yingxing to the side and whispered: "You know the method of casting firecrackers, and you also know the method of making gunpowder. Can you cast birdcracks for me?"

    Song Yingxing clasped his hands and said: "Please send troops to the north and quickly occupy Fenyi and Xinyu counties."

    "The troops will be dispatched after the spring plowing." Zhao Han readily agreed.

    This sounds nonsense. During the Chinese New Year, Zhao Han just withdrew his troops from there, and now he wants to fight back?

    However, if you want to build firearms, you must send troops!

    Zhu Yuanzhang set up thirteen ironworks across the country, one in Xinyu and one in Fenyi, all of which were Zhao Han's neighbors.

    The combined amount of iron smelting in the two counties accounted for one-fifth of the country's total output during Zhu Yuanzhang's period!  (Data from the six years of Hongwu)

    The reason why Tian Younian has money to train soldiers is not only from finding landlords, but also the income from iron smelting in Fenyi County.

    The Ming Dynasty allowed iron mines to be privately owned. The government-run iron smelters in Fenyi and Xinyu counties have long existed in name only, and now they are all private iron factories.

    ??.  "

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully, and said: "Recruit more poor scholars to go to Bailuzhou to listen to Datong classes, and I will go and teach them for a few days in person."

    Today's Datong thought tutorials include excerpts from "The Chapter of the Datong Association" and "On the Dividing of Datong Fields" by Ouyang Zheng and Wang Tiaoding.  The rest are the "Tian Zheng Ji Yao" summed up by the missionary team led by Chen Maosheng, as well as various propaganda slogans for farmers.

    Zhao Han has also been writing articles recently, deleting, deleting, and modifying. He has been writing for two months.

    "How is Mr. Li's military affairs?" Zhao Han asked suddenly.

    Li Banghua took out a charter and said: "There are 3,000 regular soldiers, all off-duty, selected young and strong to train, and paid eight dollars a month. There should be a separate department for food and salary distribution, ordnance, and clothing supply. We currently don't have enough ships.  , You can let the navy assist in transportation. The generals who train the troops and the generals who lead the troops must have different duties. The trainers can be allowed to lead the troops, but the general army has the right to change them at any time. Don't let the army become the general's private soldiers.  "

    Zhao Han took out a pen and paper, and did the calculations himself.

    Three thousand regular soldiers, eight dollars of military pay per month, more than 2,000 tons of military rations in a year.

    This does not count the peasants and soldiers. When the peasants and soldiers are trained intensively, they are also responsible for taking care of the food, and they have to be paid if they are fighting.

    In addition, there are navy troops, weapons and uniforms, as well as daily food for soldiers, all kinds of expenses are not small.

    Without affecting the livelihood of the people, it is difficult to support 3,000 soldiers in the three counties, so it must be expanded.  Moreover, Taihe and Wan'an in the south are too poor, and Zhangshu Town, Xinyu County, and Fenyi County must be taken.

    Zhao Han also wanted to take his time, but he still had to survive. He had to train regular soldiers. There was no future for farmers and soldiers alone.

    If it is to train firearms troops, the expenses will be even more terrifying.

    To be honest, as a rebel, Zhao Han expanded slowly enough.

    He Zhiyuan from southern Jiangxi already owned two counties of Ruijin and Huichang, and he called himself "Southern Heavenly King".

    The rebels in the west did not know their real names, but only knew that it was a Dianjia who raised troops and occupied Pingxiang, Yongxin, and Yichun counties in two and a half months, and the bandit was called "Sweeping King".

    It's really called "Sweeper King", meaning to wipe out landlords.

    This sweeping king occupies three counties, and Zhao Han also occupies three counties. He feels that he can sit on an equal footing, and is sending messengers to Ji'an Mansion, wanting to fight against the officers and soldiers with Zhao Han.

    A few days later, Zhao Han received a letter written by King Sweeper himself.

    Ignoring the typos, the content of the letter reads: "Say hello to brother Zhao, I am the sweeping king of Pingxiang. I have heard of my brother's name a long time ago, and I want to be sworn brothers. The government has no way, and my two brothers will fight officers and soldiers together. From now on, I will win  In the world, one is the emperor in Beijing and the other is the emperor in Nanjing. Isn’t it beautiful?”

    ,

    General military mansion, back house.

    Fei Rulan happily came out to greet her: "I greet my fourth uncle and my younger sister."

    "Haha, there's no need to be too polite," Fei Yinggong said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few years, and Lan'er is now the wife of the chief soldier."

    Fei Rulan said: "My wife's chief soldier can't be counted."

    "I met Sister Lan." Fei Ruhui said, clasping her fists.

    Although they are cousins, they only met once. Mr. Fei does not accept Fei Ruhui.

    Seeing her dressed as a woman, Fei Rulan asked, "Is my brother-in-law not here?"

    Fei Ruhui replied: "He is busy with things at home."

    What are you busy with?

    Of course it is to manage the bandit den.

    Seeing that Xiyue was the only maid in the courtyard, and Fei Rulan was helping to serve tea and water, Fei Yinggong couldn't help but said, "It's so deserted here, why don't you have more servants?"

    Fei Rulan smiled and replied: "My husband has abolished slavery, how can I disobey it? There are six helpers in the courtyard, which is not a lot."

    "So that's the case," Fei Yinggong was purely looking for news, and changed the subject to ask, "Is there any news about the elder brother?"

    Fei Rulan said: "Father is now the magistrate of Huzhou Prefecture."

    Fei Yinggong smiled and said, "It's quick to get promoted."

    The family drank tea and chatted until evening, when Zhao Han finally came back, and Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun also came.

    When the food was served, Zhao Han raised his glass and said, "I'm toasting to my fourth uncle!"

    "It's easy to say." Fei Yinggong laughed heartily.

    Fei Ruhe also raised his glass to toast and said, "Fei Chun and I left home and wanted to find my fourth uncle, but unexpectedly, I found brother Han, and made a big deal out of it."

    "If you find me, I'm afraid you're still a bandit." Fei Yinggong said with emotion.

    Zhao Han just smiled and didn't take the initiative to mention it. He had already guessed what Fei Yinggong was here for.

    After pushing and changing cups for a while, Fei Yinggong finally couldn't help it: "Oh, I never thought of rebelling, and suddenly a sweeping king appeared next door. You are on the east side, and the sweeping king is on the west side. It's very uncomfortable for me to be caught in the middle."  .”

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "As long as there is no war, no one will stare at Fourth Uncle's territory."

    Fei Yinggong's site is located in the mountains, and it's really meaningless to be poor and poor.

    However, it is very important in military affairs. Once Tianhe Town is occupied, Zhao Han can easily defend against the enemies in the west.  If Fei Yinggong hadn't been entrenched there, Zhao Han would have sent troops to take it down long ago, because it was originally under the jurisdiction of Luling County.

    The Sweeping King is also very interesting. If Zhao Han expands to the north, the Sweeping King's territory will be completely protected by Zhao Han.  The officers and soldiers can only attack the King of Sweeping Land if they eliminate Zhao Han, or Huguang sends troops to sweep the King of Land Sweeping.

    Seeing that Zhao Han never opened his mouth, Fei Yinggong had no choice but to ask himself: "How about I come to you to do something?"

    "Okay, welcome." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    "What are your requirements?" Fei Yinggong asked.

    Zhao Han made it clear: "First, the fields must be divided. Each person, including the fourth uncle, can reserve a maximum of 20 acres. Of course, the fourth uncle has a lot of mountainous land, so you can reserve a few more acres as appropriate. Second, if the fourth uncle wants to join the army  , You must disband your own troops and break up the soldiers who were incorporated into Datong. Third, the fourth uncle can only serve as a sentry officer, temporarily leading more than 90 people, and must not be stationed in Tianhe Town."

    Although Fei Yinggong had expected it, he still couldn't help feeling a little resentful.

    He came to join Zhao Han with his territory and troops, but Zhao Han wanted to swallow him up.

    That's all, it's okay to give him a high-ranking military position, but who knows that he is only allowed to be a sentry officer, and there are not even a hundred soldiers under his command.

    Zhao Han explained: "There are only two situations for me to work under my command. One is to start from the middle and lower levels; the other is to create a situation by myself. For example, Gu Jianshan was the commander of the navy because I didn't have a navy under my command.  He set up the training by himself. And Tian Younian, who was in charge of the Weapons Institute when he first came, he had to build it. Even Li Banghua was the first to set up the grain bank, and he was promoted only after he made political achievements."

    "Okay, I'll be the sentinel." Fei Yinggong reluctantly agreed. He believed that with his own ability and the relationship with the Fei family, he could be promoted after a few battles.

    Zhao Han laughed loudly and said, "Welcome fourth uncle to join the group, come, let's all drink this cup to the brim!"

    Everyone toasted and drank.

    Zhao Han said to Fei Ruhui again: "If my sister wants to work, she can join the mission team. Women can also be officials with me."

    "That's a good thing." Fei Ruhui said happily.

    After talking again, Fei Rulan suddenly said: "I'm not too young, I've been looking for a year, and I think I've found a suitable family."

    ?tighten up.

    As soon as the General Military Mansion made adjustments, an old man brought the whole family of scholars to visit.

    "Old Liu Yingdong, pay my respects to the general town!"

    "Old gentleman please get up quickly."

    Liu Yingkui pointed to the people behind him and said: "All members of my Liu clan are willing to serve the town. Although there are no juren, there are five scholars, twelve children, and the rest are schoolchildren."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Let them all come to Bailuzhou Academy. After the spring plowing is over, I will make my own arrangements."

    Liu Yingkui also said: "Liu Tongsheng is the nephew of the old man. He ran away with his family and has nothing to do with my house. Please don't worry about it."

    "Don't worry, old man, I won't get involved," Zhao Han said.

    Liu Yingkui went on to say: "These Liu family scholars can be used by the chief town at will, even as officials. I have already warned them that the chief town has its own rules for employing people. As long as you do things seriously, the chief town will not treat you badly."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "The old man has great wisdom I am not very talented, and I can't write well, so I just write a line with an axe."

    "Thank you, Zongzhen, for your words." Liu Yingkui was overjoyed.

    Zhao Han casually wrote four words "a family of virtue", it doesn't matter what he writes, he can write "eat meat tonight".

    Liu Tongsheng and his family ran away with the money, but Liu Yingkui sent the whole family of scholars to serve, these big families can't cut it across the board.

    Mainly because of the case a few days ago, Zhao Han had a showdown to show his attitude.

    Liu Yingkui was willing to stand in line and recognized Zhao Han's methods.  The tougher Zhao Han behaved, the more convinced he was that the Liu family could benefit from being a dragon.

    Of course, there are also many people who hate it deeply. Yesterday, some gentry ran away with their families.

 Body 157 [Theory of Family, Country and World]

    ,

    After Huang Shunfu was transferred to the General Military Mansion, the new magistrate of Luling County was called Li Ke.

    This person's education is not high, but he was born as a child.

    However, he followed Zhao Han very early, and he was a self-cultivator in Li Jiaguai.  In the early days, he assisted in the distribution of fields, then joined the missionary group, then became the mayor of the town, and then transferred to the county government. It is a matter of course to succeed the county magistrate.

    "Meet the general town!" Li Ke cupped his hands.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Please sit down."

    "Mr. Xie." Li Ke sat up straight.

    "I read the brochure you handed over," Zhao Han asked, "How did you solve the problem of peasant marriage before?"

    There was a big mistake in the division of fields in the three counties.

    ? As long as they are twelve years old, both men and women have land to divide.  But what if the girl gets married?  Should the land under her name belong to her natal family or her husband's family?

    According to equality between men and women, it is naturally owned by the woman herself, and she can take it wherever she marries.

    But how could the woman's family agree!

    Li Ke replied: "Changing land to get married, people of two families marry both a daughter and a daughter-in-law."

    Zhao Han frowned and said: "There is only a daughter in the family, or only a son, isn't it impossible to get married?"

    Li Ke said, "It's hard."

    Zhao Han immediately called Chen Maosheng, and after explaining the situation, he asked, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big mistake in Tian Zheng?"

    Chen Maosheng was also very surprised and explained: "At the beginning of the division of the land, everyone was very happy, and they didn't say it was not good for marriage. After that, I was transferred to the General Military Office, and I didn't know much about the things below, and no one reported it.  situation."

    Zhao Han had no countermeasures for a while, and ordered: "Immediately inform the mission group and the farmers' association, and let them collect more opinions from farmers to see how to solve this problem."

    This is a big loophole. The family who raises a daughter will suffer, which may lead to the reluctance of the daughter to marry, because the daughter will take the field away.

    ? New China's land administration is based on the village group as a unit, and the total amount is divided equally among the villagers.  The deceased took back the land, and the newborn immediately divided the fields.

    But Zhao Han can't do that!

    The land equalization system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties has left a lesson for the past. With the control of the grassroots in ancient times, it is impossible to recover the land of the deceased, which is almost equivalent to re-dividing the land every year.  Public land in the Sui and Tang dynasties was also redistributed to farmers every year. In order to save trouble, grassroots officials simply kept it the same every year.  As a result, the deceased's land could not be recovered, and the newly grown Ding Tian could not be distributed, and finally the Tang Dynasty's finances were ruined.

    The Peasant Association is only a transitional product, without any official position at all.  Once it brings corruption to the official position, and overlaps with the effectiveness of village and town institutions, the government cannot afford so much salary.  However, if official positions are not given, the enthusiasm of the peasant association cadres will also fade as time goes by.

    Therefore, sooner or later, the peasant association will be abolished, or it will die out naturally, and all affairs in the village will eventually belong to the village head.

    What Zhao Han was thinking at the time was that instead of allocating land to corruption in the future, it is better to take advantage of the full control now and directly distribute the land to farmers as private property.

    In this way, it is guaranteed that each farmer has a few acres of land, and even if they have a few more children, they can live on.  After the territory expands, the excess population will be moved to the war-torn areas in the north.

    In this way, decades of rural stability can be achieved. At that time, land conflicts will be transferred overseas step by step.

    Really, if a land government can be implemented smoothly and ensure the stability of the countryside for decades, it is already considered a very powerful policy.

    From ancient times to the present, no regime has been able to maintain land administration purely by agriculture.

    The development of New China into the 21st century also uses industry to eliminate land conflicts.  Due to the increasing population, many newborns in rural areas have been unable to divide their fields.

    The industry in the 17th century was not good. The early industrial revolution not only failed to alleviate land conflicts, but also accelerated land annexation!

    There was so much land in North America at the beginning. After the industrial revolution, a large number of farmers had no land to cultivate, because capital annexed land too fast.  It can only rely on continuous expansion and seizure of Indian territory to divert conflicts.

    The same is true in Britain. Before the Glorious Revolution, the king opposed the enclosure movement because it was not conducive to the king's collection of agricultural taxes.

    It was the great development of British industry that led to capitalists crazily annexing land, and the king would overthrow the king if it was an eyesore, so the land enclosure movement intensified-if it had been done in China, the farmers would have rebelled long ago.  British farmers rebelled, of course, but the population was too small to be easily suppressed by the nobles.

    The land enclosure movement caused a large number of landless peasants to flock to the cities to work and earn a living.  The scale of the industry in the UK can't bear it, so it can only enact strict laws, and steal a piece of bread.surname.  "

    "If a country wants to have fiscal control, direct taxation must be stable."

    "In today's world, direct taxation has been destroyed. First of all, the land, a small group of people, occupy the vast majority of the land. They can avoid taxes, they can evade taxes, and even if they can't escape, they can pass on to tenants, turning direct taxation into indirect taxation  .”

    "Secondly, there is the poll tax. Since the abolishment of the whip law, the poll tax has been collected completely indiscriminately. A large number of people have taken shelter from the gentry, hiding the population to escape the poll tax. This has caused a small number of people to bear the poll tax of the entire country!"

    "The imperial court's finances are not stable, the people are suffering unspeakably, and all the wealth has been taken by those big clans."

    "If the imperial court doesn't have enough tax revenue, they can't raise soldiers. If the soldiers don't have enough to eat, how can they fight the Tartars? The more they can't beat the Tartars, the more they have to extort money to raise soldiers."

    "The imperial court extorted and extorted money. If the people could not survive, they would rise up and rebel. The Northwest bandits who were the first to rebel were forced to revolt. This made the imperial court send troops to suppress the rebellion. The more troops used, the more financially exhausted they would be.  Excessive taxation and excessive collection will arouse more people to rebel."

    "Drinking poison to quench thirst!"

    "As a result, we have come to the current situation."

    "The emperor, the clan, and corrupt officials are not the only ones who disrupt the country. The gentry and gentry in the world are all to blame!"

    "Why should I divide the land? Because if I don't divide the land, not only will the country be destroyed, but the whole world will be destroyed, and tens of thousands of families will be destroyed! Let's see, which big family can save their lives in the place where the Northwest bandits passed by? It is Yichun  , Yongxin counties are also killing landlords and rebelling, if you don’t believe me, go to Yongxin County to see for yourself!”

    "Gentlemen present, do you want me to divide the land. Or do you want the world to turn against you and take away all your wealth and lives?"

    "The family, the country, and the world are actually one. Everyone only cares about the family, and only cares about their own family, then the country will perish, and the world will perish. If the world perishes, the small furniture will disappear, and the family will not survive!"

    ""

    Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, and Song Yingxing thought they had a thorough understanding of the situation in Ming Dynasty.

    However, Zhao Han's views on direct taxation and indirect taxation made them feel fresh and new. The previous vague views were theoretically summarized.

    Li Banghua sighed: "It's really enlightening to say that in the world of my family and country!"

    Pang Chunlai turned to Wang Tiaoding and said, "Bohe has outstanding literary talents, you can polish this article and spread it in Jiujiang and Nanchang cities."

 Body 158 [Resurrection of Military Affairs] (addition for the leader "Yanhan Wuxin")

    ,

    After the spring plowing, the school field outside Ji'an city.

    More than 13,000 farmers and soldiers lined up on the field for drills, taking towns as units.

    Only 4,000 people are selected!

    Li Banghua said to choose 3,000 soldiers, but Zhao Han decided to set 4,000 soldiers after careful consideration.

    Fei Yinggong and the bandits under his command were also standing by the side at this moment, watching the peasants and soldiers enter the field one by one.

    "These fucking peasants and soldiers? Governors and pacesetters in all provinces are nothing more than that!" Yan Jiu was dumbfounded.

    Fei Yinggong was also extremely shocked. The peasants and soldiers in front of him were not only neatly lined up and orderly when changing formations, but also full of discipline and vigor.

    All the bandits under Fei Yinggong have martial arts skills.  If one-on-one with the peasants and soldiers, the bandits must win.  If you fight ten against ten with peasants and soldiers, the bandits are afraid that they will be killed to death.

    "There are more than 13,000 soldiers like this?" Tian Younian was inexplicably horrified.

    Fei Ruhe explained: "The teams in front of us are all veterans from Luling County, so they are naturally very capable. The recruits from Jishui County and Anfu County have only a short training period, so their performance must be much worse."

    Tian Younian asked, "How many veterans are there in Luling?"

    "Around six thousand." Fei Ruhe replied.

    "How many days do you exercise?" Tian Younian asked again.

    Fei Ruhe explained: "I don't practice when the farming is busy, and I practice every day when the farming is slack. I practice in my own village. Each village has an officer."

    The drill habits of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are basically that after the recruits are recruited, they spend a month or two rigorously practicing to familiarize themselves with orders and formations.  Since then, I have stretched my hips. Exercise once every five days is considered an elite soldier, exercise once every ten days is normal, once a month is okay, and there are people who exercise once every six months!

    Tian Younian said regretfully: "Alas, there are six thousand of such elite soldiers, but it's a pity that only one thousand can be selected."

    "It will be fine after the expansion of the army." Fei Ruhe was also very distressed.

    This time the recruitment of full-time soldiers should not only be based on the quality of the soldiers, but also recruited by region: 1,000 soldiers from Luling, 1,000 from Jishui, 1,000 from Anfu, and 1,000 from Yuanzhou (all archers).

    The peasants and soldiers in Anfu County were finally organized and trained, and they only trained for two or three months in total.

    If only the elite peasants and soldiers in Luling County are recruited, firstly, it is easy to form the top of the army, and secondly, it will seriously reduce the strong labor force in the rural areas of Luling County.

    Next, it was the turn of the farmers and soldiers of Jishui County to play. Sure enough, they stretched their hips a lot, but they were still able to crush the government's Xiangyong.

    ?Until the peasants and soldiers in Anfu County went out to practice, the scene was horrible. When they lined up, they were relatively neat. Once the formation changed, things would happen frequently.

    Li Banghua sighed and said: "I can only pull out the generals from within. This time the troops will be dispatched mainly from Luling veterans, supplemented by Jishui soldiers. Let Anfu soldiers go to defend the city."

    ? In the final selection of soldiers, the selection is made in units of villages, and only some of the best performers are selected.

    ? When peasants and soldiers become regular soldiers, peasant and soldier officers will be converted to official military positions, and their military pay will be increased according to their military positions.  If there are unselected peasant and soldier officers, they still retain their military ranks, but this military rank is not official.

    The Luling veterans who were not selected were very upset. They thought they were a hundred times better than the Anfu slag soldiers. Zhao Han could only ask the missionary officer to appease the soldiers.

    After three full days of selection, four thousand soldiers were finally selected.

    The military flag has been slightly changed, it is still made of indigo blue cotton cloth, but the words "All Under Heaven" are embroidered on the flag.

    Fei Yinggong and the bandits under his command were disorderly organized into various ministries.

    If you add Zhao Han's personal soldiers "Nu'er Army", as well as military judges, mission officers, naval officers and soldiers, etc., the number of regular soldiers actually exceeds 5,000.

    In the land of three counties, more than 5,000 regular soldiers are raised, and the military expenditure is simply exploding!

    Wu Yong, who was always able to catch high officials, was promoted to the captain of the "Slave Army" this time because of his meritorious service in the previous period, and he was in charge of three ten-man teams.

    Forced to act as a guide, Xiong Yao led Zhao Han to attack Yuanzhou's barracks by surprise.  Because he belongs to the technical branch of archers, and he is also an officer, he was promoted to sentry officer this time, and he is in charge of nine ten-man teams.

    Fei Yinggong is also an archer and sentry officer. He has practiced archery and said he is in charge of nine ten-man teams. Counting the low-level officers, he is actually in command of a hundred troops.

    Commanding a hundred soldiers is considered a hundred generals, Fei Yinggong can only comfort himself in this way.

    After the reorganization of the main soldiers is completed, the peasants and soldiers who were not selected will leave 2,000 elite soldiers on standby, and the rest will all go home.  These peasants and soldiers must also persist in their drills. Once encountering a large-scale siege by officers and soldiers, Zhao Han may have tens of thousands of soldiers at any time!

    In the next half month, all the regular soldiers and 2,000 peasant soldiers practiced in the school grounds, mainly practicing the cooperation with the archers.

    end of aprilNot too late.

    A few days later, He Tianqu recruited thousands of brave men from the countryside. Together with the soldiers he had recruited before, the number of troops had grown to more than 1,800

    Nanchang.

    ? Wang Siren was originally training sailors in Poyang Lake, but was summoned urgently by Governor Li Maofang.

    "Fu Shuai, but there is something strange about the Zhao thief in the south?" Wang Siren asked.

    Li Maofang explained: "The prefect of Linjiang sent an urgent report that Zhao bandits stationed troops in Zhangshu Town, intending to attack Linjiang City."

    Wang Siren spread out the map, quickly shook his head and said: "The target of the thief Zhao is probably not Linjiang Mansion, but Xinyu and Fenyi counties in the west. Zhao thief has taken a fancy to the iron mines and iron smelting factories there.  , they would not garrison Zhangshu Town, but raid Linjiang Fu City quickly."

    "Should we send troops?" Li Maofang asked.

    Wang Siren sighed and said: "The rebels have attacked hundreds of miles away from Linjiang Prefecture, how can the officers and soldiers sit back and watch? Zhangshu Town must be taken back!"

    There are thirty-three important tax-paying towns in the Ming Dynasty, Linjiang Prefecture City plus Zhangshu Town, which together account for one of them.

    If Zhangshu Town is occupied by the rebels all the time, and one day they take down Linjiang Mansion, wouldn't the Luling Zhao bandits want to go to heaven?

    "Oh, you shouldn't go north during the Chinese New Year." Li Maofang's intestines were full of regret.

    They brought a large number of sailors and 5,000 infantry, and rushed to rescue Fengyang.  As a result, Zhang Xianzhong beat the elite fighters who had trained painstakingly to only a thousand people.

    Although the soldiers have been re-recruited and there are another 5,000 infantry, such new recruits are of use!

    Wang Siren thought carefully and said: "Let's go to Linjiang Mansion first, and then decide how to fight after finding out more about the real situation of the rebel army. We have a navy, and we can advance or retreat. Don't easily fight against the rebels."

    "That's the only way to go." Li Maofang said.

    (Reply, some book friends said that the enclosure movement, the agricultural revolution and so on. The agricultural revolution in Britain, before the use of large-scale machinery for production, was mainly reflected in two aspects. First, the peasants were driven away, and the landlords enclosed the land, and then  Hiring farmers to cultivate is the big landlord and tenant system in the late Ming Dynasty. Second, intensive farming. After hundreds of years of agricultural revolution, the yield per mu in Britain has finally reached the level of yield per mu in the south of the Ming Dynasty. Is it interesting to discuss? Please don’t ignore the differences between Britain and Ming Dynasty  Population difference, Ming Dynasty played like England, the peasant uprising had already exploded.?

 Body 159 [Luling Zhao Tianwang]

    ,

    ? Xinyu County.

    Standing on the tower, Chen Yanyi, the magistrate, looked at the rebels outside, and scolded the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the chief assistant, Wen Tiren, all over the place!

    ? He was a Jinshi of the new department last year. Although he was ranked at the bottom of the top three, he was a good scholar in the selection examination of the library.

    Chen Yanyi is young, and his blood is not cold, and as a senior official, he naturally wants to impeach the powerful to gain fame.  Accidentally, Wen Tiren's henchman was impeached, and then he was released as a magistrate.

    It just so happened that the former Xin Yu County magistrate spent money to get promoted, and Chen Yanyi was cast as the new Yu County magistrate.

    It's a pity that Chen Yanyi has been in office for less than five days, and he has just recognized all the officials of the county government. Before his butt is hot, the rebels have already attacked the city.

    Before Chen Yanyi had time to hire a master, he could only ask the master book: "Are there only a few dozen officers and soldiers defending the city?"

    The chief book replied: "The former county magistrate recruited more than 500 townships to defend the city bravely."

    "Where are those brave men?" Chen Yanyi asked.

    The master said: "The county magistrate resigned, and Xiangyong also left, because the county government has no money to pay."

    "Where's the money?" Chen Yanyi asked.

    "Why should the county lord ask questions knowingly?" the master book said in a bad mood.

    The county government treasury is full of rats, and the money has been swept away by the former county magistrate.  There were barely some left over, and they were also divided up by the chief secretary, Dian Shi and others, and they could be pushed to the head of the former county magistrate when traced.

    After the Lantern Festival, Zhao thief passed by here and extorted a sum of grain and grass.

    Everyone felt that since the thief Zhao chose to withdraw his troops, he would not attack the city again in the short term. After all, if he took the water route, there were still three counties in between.  Who would have thought that bandit Zhao just went back to the spring plowing, and when the spring plowing was over, he suddenly sent troops to kill him.

    Fei Ruhe was also very depressed. He originally wanted to cheat the city, but Zhao Han made too much noise in Zhangshu Town, so he led his troops here, and Xinyu County was closed.

    Xinyu County is located at the intersection of Yuan River and Kongmu River. Fei Ruhe can only land on the north and west sides, and the east and south sides of the county are rivers.

    He asked people to fill the moat with soil, and at the same time made people build siege equipment.

    A few days later, seeing that the moat was filled with several roads, the master book and the history found Chen Yanyi: "The county lord, come down."

    "As a county magistrate, I have the responsibility to guard the land. How can I surrender to the rebels?" Chen Yanyi scolded angrily, "You must stop talking about betraying the king and abandoning the master!"

    The chief book said: "The county lord doesn't know something, this Zhao thief keeps his word, unlike ordinary thieves, he will not kill people indiscriminately."

    Chen Yanyi sneered: "The rebels still have credit?"

    The classic history said: "Zhao thief in Luling, he keeps his word, who doesn't know how many counties are around?"

    "Clang!"

    Chen Yanyi drew his sword out of its sheath: "Whoever says surrender again, I will definitely kill him!"

    The Master Book and Dian Shi retreated with a sneer, and a group of yamen servants came up.

    Chen Yanyi despaired instantly. He had only been in office for a few days, and he was a loner in Xinyu County.

    After the rebels besieged the city, Chen Yanyi lobbied the big gentry, hoping that they would donate money and food, and recruit the young and strong in the city to defend the city.  But those big households all pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if they were not afraid of the rebels breaking the city, and now he has no money, no soldiers, no food!

    Under normal circumstances, a newly appointed county magistrate like Chen Yanyi has to wait until the summer grain is collected before he can have money and grain to handle affairs.

    Zhao Han's reputation has taken effect, and everyone from officials to big households is unwilling to resist.

    If you resist, you may not be able to hold it, and you will be liquidated by the rebels.

    If they surrender directly, the rebels will not burn, kill and loot, and they will have nothing to lose.

    "Do you still want to rebel?" Chen Yanyi retreated with a sword, angrily scolding the servants who surrounded him.

    Dian Shi persuaded: "The county lord, surrender."

    "Don't even think about it!"

    Chen Yanyi said angrily.

    Dian Shi waved his hand immediately, and the servants began to outflank Chen Yanyi.

    Chen Yanyi was completely desperate, and could only say: "After I die, let my long entourage go back to Fujian, and at least bring back news to my family."

    "Why bother." The master book sighed.

    Chen Yanyi suddenly knelt down towards the north: "Your Majesty, I have owed the emperor's favor, so I can only die for my country."

    After kowtowing a few times, Chen Yanyi knelt down towards the southeast again: "Father, mother, the child is not filial, and cannot repay the kindness of the two elders for raising them!"

    After kowtowing a few more times, Chen Yanyi stood up and said, "An unfaithful and unfilial person, what face does he have to live in the world?"

    So he raised his sword across his neck and killed himself on the spot.

    The master and the classics looked at each other, both sighed.? in the past.

    This has already entered the range of the archers on the city, but the officers and soldiers defending the city did not shoot a single arrow. They regarded Fei Ruhe as one of their own, and the rebels under King Sweeping the Dirt were the real mortal enemy.

    King Sweeper brought more than 6,000 soldiers, nearly twice as many as Fei Ruhe.

    The two sides lined up outside the city to fight, and before the fight started, it seemed that the winner had already been decided.

    On Fei Ruhe's side, the army looked majestic and the formation was neat.  Facing twice as many enemies, there is no cowardice, and the enemy army is not taken seriously at all.

    On the side of the Sweeping King, it is composed of several large and small groups of rebels, and the Sweeping King is only the leader in name.  He occupied three counties alone, which made the anti-thief leaders under him very unhappy. This attack on Fenyi County was also to expand the territory and distribute it to the people.

    Obviously the army strength is twice that of Fei Ruhe's, but before the formation is completed, the morale of the army is already floating.

    Firstly, Luling Zhao Yan's reputation was too great, which caused huge psychological pressure on the rebels; secondly, Fei Ruhe's army was strong, and even the weapons were far superior to the opponent's.

    Not to mention the regular soldiers, even Zhao Han's peasant soldiers and bamboo spears have been replaced with iron gun heads, and some of the Sweeping King's soldiers are still holding hoes.

    After Fei Ruhe gave the order, the messenger immediately waved the command flag.

    ?Except for the 500 Chinese troops who were advancing slowly, the remaining 3,000 soldiers all made great strides forward.

    The wolf soldiers cleared the way, the rattan players covered, and the pikemen were ready to go.

    Only halfway through the advance, and there were still dozens of steps between the two sides, and suddenly a wave of rebels collapsed.  But it was a rebel leader who led more than a thousand soldiers under his command to run away without even asking for food, grass and luggage in the barracks.

    "Run, Zhao Tianwang's soldiers are coming!"

    Zhao Tianwang of Luling is the nickname given to Zhao Han by the surrounding rebels.

    I saw that the rebels collapsed one after another, and even the headquarters of the Sweeping King kept running away.

    The sweeping king hissed and roared: "Come back, I haven't fought yet, it's not too late to run after the fight!"

    There were also some rebels who knelt on the ground and surrendered after running far north.  They are local farmers in Fenyi County, who were coerced by the Sweeping King to attack the city. Although they killed the landlord, ordinary rebels cannot divide the land. They must be veterans (rebel veterans) to divide the land.

    "Damn, I'm running too!"

    King Sweeper stomped his feet angrily, and fled quickly with his headquarters.

    "good!"

    "Long live General Zhao!"

    Seeing this, the defenders of Fenyi County cheered in unison, regarding Fei Ruhe as their protector.

    Fei Ruhe led his troops to chase for a while, but he didn't bother to chase any more. When he returned to the outside of the city, the gates of Fenyi County were already wide open.

    Whether it is an official or a wealthy family, they all want Fei Ruhe to stay, otherwise the sweeping king will definitely come back.

    Fei Ruhe led his soldiers into the city, and muttered, "If you do this, I will forget that I am a traitor.?

 Body 160 [Suppressing bandits and making money]

    ?Nanchangwei, the school yard.

    Li Ruolian, the general soldier of Jiangxi, inspected the troops, and suddenly drew his sword and shouted: "The Luling Zhao thief has stolen the state capital, burned, killed and looted, and committed all kinds of crimes. Now I am under the emperor's order to discuss it. With the help of all the lords, I will win the battle and win the capital.  ! Let's go, let's go!"

    Li Ruolian is sixty-nine years old this year. Historically, he was seventy-eight years old when he led the Jinyi Guards and died for his country at the gate of Beijing.

    If he hadn't been the eldest son of a military household and had to inherit the military position according to the system, he would definitely have taken the Wen Jinshi examination instead of this nonsense Wu Jinshi.  His younger brother Li Ruogui was a Jinshi Wen. During the reign of Tianqi, he served as the minister of the Ministry of punishment. He resigned because he could not be tolerated by Wei Zhongxian.

    By the way, his younger brother, Li Ruogui, was rumored to have hugged Emperor Tianqi when he was young, and Zhu Youxiao was given the title "Old Li with Golden Arms" after he ascended the throne.

    In Yuan Chonghuan's treason case, Li Ruolian was the presiding judge.

    Li Ruolian didn't find anything wrong with the trial. Emperor Chongzhen was not happy, so he asked his superior Liu Qiao to interrogate him. Liu Qiao found out evidence of Yuan Chonghuan's rebellion.

    Li Ruolian was demoted to two ranks because of this, and after several years of tossing, he was slowly promoted back, and now he was finally thrown by Chongzhen to be the general soldier of Jiangxi.

    In mid-May, harvesting of winter wheat has begun.

    "Don't trample on the crops!" This was Li Ruolian's first order.

    Both brothers Li Ruolian and Li Ruogui are well-known upright officials.  But, the capital of being an upright official is that the family is well-off, and the ancestors have occupied many military fields.  Before his younger brother was admitted as a Jinshi, he sold hundreds of acres of land at one time because he didn't have enough money.

    "Zai Xin Gong!"

    Arriving at the pier to board the ship, the governor Li Maofang, with his official Wang Siren, came over to meet him.

    Li Ruolian bowed his hands in return. Although they were unlucky in everything, there was one thing that went well.  That is, Chongzhen withdrew the eunuchs last year, and the eunuchs have not been sent back until now, so there is no need to listen to the eunuchs of the supervising army.

    The three joined forces, tens of thousands of infantry, and thousands of civilians were also recruited.

    With so many people, Wang Siren's navy couldn't hold them, so they had to use boats to carry food and grass forward, and the soldiers followed the boats on the shore.

    The farmers who were harvesting wheat were so frightened that they hid far away when they saw the officers and soldiers coming, and then looked at these people with resentful eyes.

    The three of them together trained tens of thousands of soldiers, and at the beginning of the year they had lost more than 3,000, so they urgently recruited to make up the difference.  How much money will this cost?  The Jiangxi Third Division not only had to provide military salaries, but also remitted taxes to the imperial court, so they could only intensify the exploitation of the common people, and imposed more than a dozen kinds of miscellaneous taxes.

    Marching all the way south, because of the rush of time, these officers and soldiers had no time to plunder the people.

    Ten days later, he arrived at Linjiangfu City.

    (There is a mistake in the previous article. Linjiang Fucheng is not in Fengcheng City, but in Linjiang Town of Zhangshu City in later generations, sandwiched between Yuanhe and Ganjiang. Zhao Han must first attack Linjiangfu City in order to occupy Zhangshu Town. But there are so many mistakes  chapter, the main plot cannot be modified, and we can only assume that Zhangshu Town is ten miles south of Linjiangfu City. The real situation is just the opposite, please don’t take it seriously.)

    "I met Li Fushuai, I met Li Zongzhen, and I met Wang Qian."

    He Tianqu, the magistrate, led the officials at the prefecture and county levels out of the city to welcome the arrival of the officers and soldiers.  In order to save his life, he didn't care about the difference between civil and military skills, so he also respected Li Ruolian, the commander in chief.

    Li Maofang asked, "How is Bandit Zhao doing?"

    He Tianqu replied: "Zhao thief camped on the other side of the river ten miles away, blocking any passing boats, and it is temporarily impossible to find out the news."

    "Fu Shuai, set up camp first, and then send spies." Wang Siren said.

    Li Maofang nodded and said, "Okay, let's set up camp first."

    He Tianqu said: "Several people came from afar, and I set up a banquet to clean up the dust for you."

    Wang Siren frowned and said, "It's important to set up camp first."

    Ever since, Wang Siren was in charge of camping, and Li Maofang and Li Ruolian were invited into the city to eat and drink.

    This kind of eating and drinking is also necessary to get closer to each other, otherwise it will be difficult to cooperate in the next battle.

    ?The two sides set up camp ten miles across the river. Together with civilian husbands, sailors, and local bravery, there were more than 18,000 officers and soldiers.

    On Zhao Han's side, the number of the navy and the supply team was less than 4,000.

    The next day.

    Wang Siren personally led the navy to the south, with more than 40 large and small warships.

    However, Zhao Han's navy only has more than 30 large and small ships.  More than a dozen of them followed Fei Ruhe to the west, facing the officers, soldiers and navy, they could only temporarily avoid the sharp edge.

    Before Wang Siren reached the mouth of the river, he ordered the navy to stop.  He dared not go any further, for fear of being ambushed.  If the navy of the rebels rushed out from both sides of the Ganjiang River and the Yuanhe River, his navy would be surrounded.

    Standing at the bow of the ship, Wang Siren personally observed the enemy's situation,"Shameless!"

    Wang Siren scolded, turned and left directly.

    Li Ruolian was so angry that his hands trembled, and he really wanted to cut the governor down with a knife.

    Both of them didn't accept money. After they left, Li Maofang sneered and said to himself: "Why are you pretending to be clean? Where did you get your military training and salaries? Didn't you get it from the people? Are you clean without your own hands?"

    Li Maofang began to give money to civil and military officials. From the prefect of Linjiang to the county magistrate of Qingjiang, to the generals under Li Ruolian and Wang Siren, they were all fed by his money.

    Ever since, everyone supported Li Maofang wholeheartedly and devoted their energy to making money.

    Anyway, the confrontation lasted for a month, and the rebels attacked a few times, and they had already attacked.  Since the rebels didn't dare to come over, and I didn't dare to go over here, why didn't I take the opportunity to make more money?

    On the contrary, Li Ruolian and Wang Siren, two upright officials, were isolated by all the officials, as if they were abnormal.

    Wang Siren secretly found Li Ruolian: "General Town, we can't go on like this, otherwise the morale of the army and the people will be lost!"

    Li Ruolian asked: "You have worked with him to suppress bandits for a year, and there was no such thing before?"

    "Oh, he also fished before," Wang Siren sighed. "When he suppressed the bandits in Duchang County, he sent troops to loot everywhere. I could only turn a blind eye. But now, the rebel army is ten miles away.  On the other side, if he does something like this, big trouble will happen!"

    "What are you going to do?" Li Ruolian asked.

    Wang Siren said: "The Zhao bandits in Luling are treacherous. If they don't move their troops after a month of confrontation, they must set up ambushes on the Ganjiang River and the Yuanhe River. If our navy dares to cross the river mouth, they will definitely be attacked from both sides. Most of them will use a large number of small boats.  Carry out a fire attack. The navy cannot move, and the terrain is not good for our army. My original intention was to send elite soldiers to go south by land to sneak attack Xingan County, which was occupied by the rebels.  There is no way to sneak around the checkpoint."

    "If you can't make a sneak attack, how else can you fight?" Li Ruolian had no battlefield experience.

    Wang Siren said: "Cross the river and fight the rebels. We have more than 10,000 troops, and I have trained 500 archers. It may be possible to win the battle. We can't waste it here, my generals  The military discipline has been corrupted, and in the past two days, they led troops to plunder the people."

    Li Ruolian's generals are even more so, they are the command envoys, thousands of households, and hundreds of households recruited temporarily.  These guys have never fought any battles, and they are good at exploiting military households. Now they are completely exposed by Li Maofang.

    "Can we attack the enemy camp at night?" Li Ruolian asked.

    Wang Siren shook his head and said, "It's useless, there are too many enemy checkpoints. Last time I led troops to attack at night, three miles away from the enemy camp, the bandit's sentinel blew the suona."

    "Then fight!" Li Ruolian clenched his fists.

    In fact, Zhao Han's military rations are almost unsustainable, and he can last for a month at most.

    However, the governor Li Maofang gave a divine assist, and the military discipline was so corrupted that Li Ruolian and Wang Siren could not tolerate it, forcing the two to fight head-on in advance.

    This broken place is nonsense, either it is a mountain or a water, and the strength of both sides is stretched. As long as more sentries are sent to guard against sneak attacks, no matter how powerful the commander is, he will not be able to play tricks.

    Can only be tough!

    And even if it is tough, it must be the officers and soldiers who cross the river on their own initiative.

    Because Zhao Han's navy is not strong, he dare not cross the river to fight the officers and soldiers for fear of being defeated by the officers and soldiers on the river.  According to the terrain where the two rivers meet, more warships and fireboats should be prepared to encircle the officers and sailors who dare to cross the river mouth.

    Li Ruolian and Wang Siren found Li Maofang and proposed a plan for a decisive battle across the river, and they immediately quarreled with Li Maofang.

    Li Maofang hasn't got enough money yet&lt;/div&gt

 Text 161 [Who is the traitor?  ] (Add more for the leader "This is a monster")

    night.

    Huang Yao led five hundred soldiers and circled for half a month, finally reaching the northwest of Bailuozhou.

    There are no big mountains along the way, but small hills and flat land.

    The reason why they went around this big circle was because they were afraid of being spotted by officers and soldiers.  Similarly, officers and soldiers did not dare to cross the river to loot here, for fear that the rebels would find out and set up an ambush attack.

    The vast countryside on the other side of Linjiang Fucheng was surprisingly peaceful.

    Arriving at the riverside in the dark, all five hundred soldiers took off their clothes and swam to Jiangxinzhou on the opposite bank.  The rattan player and the wolf-whip soldier are very easy, because the wooden shield and the wolf-whip have buoyancy, and the distance of 100 meters is easy.

    After going ashore, walk to the other side of Jiangxinzhou. The river here is 200 meters long, which is still not difficult for a man who is familiar with water.

    In this way, Huang Yao led five hundred soldiers and crossed the river without anyone noticing.

    This is near the entire battlefield, where the Ganjiang River is the narrowest.

    Wang Siren was already prepared and sent 300 officers and soldiers to guard him.  But recently, looting became popular, and the officers took the soldiers directly to the villages to plunder, leaving only a dozen people standing guard by the river.

    Can more than a dozen officers and soldiers guard a river seven or eight miles long?

    A few miles away from the river, Huang Yao found a wheat field that had already been harvested, and sent an order: "Leave a few people on sentry, and the rest will sleep!"

    After sleeping soundly in the wheat field for an hour, the sky was bright, and Huang Yao immediately led people into the village.

    The food he brought was not enough, so he had to borrow food from the landlord's house.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Knocking on the door, an old man came out, pleading: "Military masters, you have come here several times these days, the old man really has no food at home."

    "Old man," said the military mission officer, clasping his fists, "We are the Datong Army, not the officers and soldiers who extort money. The Datong Army has to return the food they borrowed, and we can make a written statement. As for the officers and soldiers who bully you, when we are full, we will go back to you."  Go get those bastards!"

    "Againyou are rebels?" The old man trembled with fright.

    The mission officer asked: "Is there any paper and pen? We don't borrow much food, so we will definitely return it in the future after leaving a written note."

    Zhao Han has always refused to accept the loan from the landlord in the "enemy-occupied area", but at this time he can behave more benevolently.

    The old man was afraid that the rebels would kill his whole family, so he had to open another granary to provide food.

    The rebels really don't want much. One person only takes half a bucket, and insists on making a written receipt, throwing away the written receipt and taking the grain and leaving.

    From the beginning to the end, the five hundred soldiers were well-organized and did not step into the landlord's house.

    Watching these rebels leave, the old man lamented: "What kind of world is this? I can't go on!"

    After walking for another half day, I was lighting a fire and cooking at noon, when the sentinel suddenly reported that officers and soldiers had appeared.

    Huang Yao climbed up the small hill and saw that there were two or three hundred officers and soldiers, and everyone had something in their hands.  Some soldiers even pushed small carts full of looted goods from the countryside.

    The military discipline of the officers and soldiers has been out of control.

    You can grab it, why can't I?

    So the generals, big and small, took turns to go out to collect grain, and some unlucky landlords were repeatedly requisitioned several times.

    These are soldiers recruited locally in Jiangxi, and they are relatively civilized. It would be even worse if they were replaced by guest soldiers from other provinces.  Under such circumstances, the officers and soldiers not only robbed money and food, but also killed people and slaughtered villages, beheading good people and saying that they were beheading traitors.

    Once the officers and soldiers are defeated this time, Li Maofang will definitely hint that the general will kill people, and chopping off some heads can offset the defeat.

    "Blow the horn!"

    "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~~~~~~"

    "Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo~~~~~~"

    "kill!"

    When the officers and soldiers passed by under the hill, five hundred soldiers swarmed out, and two or three hundred officers and soldiers robbed food, they were so frightened that they fled in panic, completely confused about what was going on.

    Huang Yao ran the fastest alone, stabbed several people to death in succession, and chased these officers and soldiers into the village.

    The villagers who had just been looted closed their doors and windows one after another and observed the situation through the gaps.  Seeing the officers and soldiers being chased and killed by Huang Yao, although they dared not speak out, they all applauded secretly for Huang Yao.

    There were more than two hundred officers and soldiers, and Huang Yao led people to kill nearly half of them, so he stopped chasing.

    Instead, go back to the ambush point just now, and send the grain looted by the officers and soldiers to the village for the farmers to pick it up.

    Five hundred soldiers and five missionaries.

    These missionary officers shouted along the village: "Old cousins, don't be afraid, we are Mr. Zhao's Datong soldiers. Datong soldiers don't harm the people, they serve the people.When he entered the city, he was killed by the rebels, and he chased all the way into the county and disappeared.  "

    Li Maofang, Li Ruolian and Wang Siren looked at each other in blank dismay.

    Fengcheng County is behind them, and it is on the bank of the Gan River.  If the rebels coerce the people in Fengcheng County, they will directly cut off their retreat.

    Li Ruolian sneered, "You did a good job!"

    Li Maofang was speechless, because he was indeed the one who issued the grain requisition order.

    But who the hell would have thought that the magistrate of Fengcheng was so awesome that he sent Xiangyong to the countryside to collect grain, and hundreds of bandits took advantage of it to seize the county seat.

    That was not to collect food at all, but the magistrate of Fengcheng wanted to make money and sent troops to rob in the name of suppressing thieves!

    Wang Siren sighed and said: "There are only three ways now, one is to cross the river immediately for a decisive battle, the other is to immediately withdraw the troops back to Nanchang, and the third is to take back Fengcheng County and station the camp there."

    "It's impossible to withdraw troops. If you don't suppress the bandits in front of you, you and I will all lose our hats." Li Ruolian shook his head and said.

    Li Maofang asked: "Can't we send troops to take back the county seat and then keep people to garrison it?"

    Wang Siren said: "There are hundreds of bandits hiding behind us. These rebels are used to demagoguery. If they are allowed to develop, there may be two or three thousand people in the next month. There are two or three thousand enemies hiding behind us.  Do you dare to fight such a battle?"

    Li Maofang thought about it: "We can't evacuate from Linjiang Mansion, we can't just evacuate to Fengcheng County. Linjiang Mansion is a tax-heavy town, once it is lost, the court will be furious, and it will be easy for us to lose our official position!"

    "Then let's fight." Li Ruolian sighed.

    Wang Siren sighed: "This Zhao thief is so cunning."

    Wang Siren thought that Zhao Han might send troops to go around, but he never expected that the rebels did not come to attack the camp of officers and soldiers at night after they went around, but to help the peasants drive away the looting officers and soldiers!

    There are only a few hundred rebels, and the officers and soldiers want to clear them up, but they can't even touch the ghosts.

    Not to mention the farmers tipping off the news, even the local gentry secretly provided food for the rebels, just because the officers and soldiers robbed too much.

    Wang Siren has an illusion that he is the traitor&lt;/div&gt

 Body 162【Water Battle in Bailuozhou】

    ,

    "Boom!"

    ? Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, the rain shrouded the surrounding fields, and the sky and the earth became dark.

    All activities of both combatants were suspended due to the heavy rain.

    ?Including the soldiers that Huang Yao took to the enemy's rear, they also lived in the homes of fellow villagers one after another. No one could bear the pouring rain.

    "It's finally raining."

    Zhao Han stood in the tent, watched the rain fall on the ground, and muttered to himself: "Governor Li, I'm waiting for rain, so what are you waiting for?"

    When fighting in Jiangxi, as long as the strength of both sides is large enough, the water battle will really determine the outcome.

    The decisive battle between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang was the same, and the same is true for Wang Yangming's suppression of the rebellion of King Ning.

    Which side of the navy can win, can occupy the food road and the route of advancing troops.  If the navy is not destroyed, as long as it can still defend the city, the infantry can start over no matter how many battles they lose.

    This is due to the special terrain of Jiangxi. The whole province is full of mountains, and the main cities are distributed in the basins between the mountains and connected by rivers and lakes extending in all directions.

    Although Zhao Han's naval force has more than a dozen warships less than the official army, the number of large ships is far less than that of the officers and soldiers.  However, he had the advantage of terrain and occupied the confluence of the two rivers first, while still in the upper reaches of the Ganjiang River.

    Originally, he wanted to lure the navy of the army to pass through the river mouth, and then surrounded and strangled according to the terrain, so that the advantage of the opponent's large number of ships could not be brought into play.

    Unexpectedly, Wang Siren was not fooled, and he never let the navy step beyond the mouth of the river, which led to the confrontation between the two sides for more than a month.

    Then we can only wait for the rain and wait for the Ganjiang River to enter the flood season!

    But the weather at the end of the Ming Dynasty became more and more strange. Not only was the spring drought severe this year, but it didn't rain in early summer, and it still didn't rain after the summer grain harvest.

    Finally, the first heavy rain of this year came, and it continued for two days and two nights.

    What Zhao Han was thinking about was not fighting, but whether officials at the county and township levels and the missionary team actively organized farmers' associations to fight floods and rescue emergencies

    Before it rained, the officers and soldiers had successfully crossed the river, and were about to launch an attack the next day, but they were given a blow by God that night.

    Li Maofang looked at the cannons in front of her and asked, "Can you still fire the cannons?"

    The gunner replied: "It can ring, the gunpowder is well stored, and it hasn't been damp."

    "Okay, there are many rewards." Li Maofang praised.

    The official army has artillery, and there are nine of them.

    Six of the cannons were dismantled from Nanchang City and belonged to the antiques of Zhu Yuanzhang's period.  Very primitive copper mortar, thick caliber, short barrel, powerful, short range.

    The other three are Flang cannons, a product of King Ning's rebellion era.  The two doors were built by craftsmen hired by King Ning.  One was made by Wang Yangming's friend Lin Jun, who became an official at home and had his slaves brought it over from Fujian.

    These nine cannons are difficult to explain in a single word. The six mortars are city defense cannons, which are thick and heavy and have a short range. They can only achieve unexpected results when the rebels attack by themselves.  Although the three Franco cannons are light and have a long range, their power is actually very small, and the number of sub-cannons is insufficient.

    "The officers and soldiers have moved!"

    "Let them attack slowly."

    More than 10,000 officers and soldiers were dispatched, but Zhao Han stayed in the camp.

    Three trenches were dug outside the battalion, and the passage left by each trench could only allow three infantrymen to pass in parallel.

    In the camp, there are also two trenches.

    If you can't stick to it, you will just delay time and drag it to Gujian Mountain to lead the navy to dispatch.

    "Look at the general town!"

    Zhao Han immediately climbed up to the high platform, but because the distance was too far, he couldn't see clearly what the enemy was lifting.  It wasn't until more than ten steps away from the first trench that the officers and soldiers began to assemble the Franco cannon, and he finally understood what it was.

    "The whole army retreats into the trenches, the rattan shields are held up to protect the top of the head, and those without shields look for things." Zhao Han immediately ordered.

    Three Franco cannons soon entered the predetermined location.

    But those six mortars moved extremely slowly.  After the rain, the ground was muddy and potholed, dragged forward by mules and horses, and sank into the mud before walking far.  In the end, it could only be lifted by manpower, and after a long time of tossing, it was finally lifted.

    "Fire!"

    Nine cannons fired in salvo, iron bullets, lead bullets, and stone bullets flew together.

    Two of them fell into Zhao Han's camp, hit the muddy ground, and stopped after a few bounces.  The muddy ground absorbed the kinetic energy of the shells.

    Four of them fell outside the camp, and the fart had no effect.

    However, there were still three shells, which accurately hit the wall of the village and blasted the wooden wall of the village out of a big hole.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Ruolian dispatched civilian men to fill the camp with earth.Ten articles ignited six large ships of officers and soldiers.

    To be honest, as long as the officers and soldiers are not in chaos, only six ships will be ignited, and they still have an absolute advantage.

    But where can there be no chaos?

    Half of these officers, soldiers and sailors are recruited Poyang Lake water bandits!

    Gu Jianshan carried the two-handed sword on his back, stepped on the bow of the small warship, and quickly caught up with a slow enemy ship.

    "Flying hook!"

    Dozens of flying claws with ropes ran to the side of the big ship.

    Gu Jianshan was about to climb to seize the ship, when suddenly someone from the enemy ship shouted: "Is it Old Gu?"

    "Fan Er?" Gu Jianshan asked.

    "I'm Fan Er," the other party shouted, "Go elsewhere to seize the ship, I'll kill the captain and surrender!"

    Having said that, the guy raised his knife and shouted: "Brothers from Poyang Lake, follow me to kill the officers and soldiers!"

    For a while, the water bandits recruited turned around to kill the official officers and soldiers, and soon beheaded a sailor.

    Gu Jianshan quickly looked for the next target. The small warship he was on was very flexible, and the large ship with 400 materials of officers and soldiers completely became the prey.

    "Lime!"

    Just as Gu Jianshan led his troops to climb, the enemy ship threw limestone from it.

    Fortunately, Gu Jianshan had been on guard for a long time. All the sailors were covered with gauze, even their eyes were covered with gauze.  Although the line of sight is not very good, it can minimize the impact of lime.

    "Falling rocks!"

    The head-sized stone was thrown down by officers and soldiers from the big ship, and several rebels fell in an instant.

    "Chop the rope!"

    More than 30 flying claw ropes were cut off one after another, and the rebel sailors fell one after another.

    However, six small warships besieged this large warship, and the officers and soldiers on board lost sight of each other.

    Gu Jianshan climbed up quickly with only the strength of his arms, and stabbed a long spear head-on.  Gu Jianshan dodged in the air, grabbed the barrel of the gun, and pulled the officers and soldiers down.

    This guy turned over quickly on the side of the ship, and before he stepped on the deck, he drew his sword and killed an officer and soldier in the air.

    Due to the charge of Gu Jianshan, more and more rebel sailors climbed up, and officers and soldiers knelt down and surrendered one after another.

    "Sail at full speed!"

    After seizing the ship, Gu Jianshan drove the big ship and rushed towards the officer navy in front.

    Over there in the camp.

    During the surprise attack on Ancient Sword Mountain, Zhao Han laughed. If it hadn't been for the fact that it hadn't been raining, this water battle would have already broken out.

    The officers and soldiers were just the opposite. Seeing their navy retreating, Li Maofang and Li Ruolian quickly ordered the withdrawal.

    "kill!"

    Zhao Han climbed out of the trench and directly ordered the charge horn to be sounded.

    If he didn't want to defeat the officers, soldiers and navy, Zhao Han would have gone out to fight a long time ago.

 Body 163 [Fierce Battle]

    More than 10,000 officers and soldiers evacuated with their luggage. A few old antique mortars must be given up, but the two Franco cannons have time to carry away.

    This thing is light and detachable, and five or six people can march with one gun.

    Hearing the charge in the anti-thief camp, Li Maofang immediately ordered: "Give up the luggage, go to the hill in front of you to line up, and pour money and food along the way. Remember, throw more copper coins and broken silver!"

    Although the officers, soldiers and generals were reluctant to part with it, the battlefield had reached a critical moment, so they had to scatter the looted silver.

    Seeing that the opponent actually ran to the hill to form an array, Zhao Han also stopped the charge horn, blew the horn to gather troops to form an array, and slowly advanced towards the enemy on the hillside.

    On the top of the slope, Li Ruolian was inexplicably horrified: "These thieves don't even want any money!"

    Li Maofang was also shocked. He originally wanted to spend money to destroy the formation and morale of the rebels, and then rely on the superiority of their troops to kill them.

    This trick is very effective against rebels. Li Maofang has succeeded several times before.

    Unexpectedly, the soldiers under Zhao Han's command lined up neatly and walked through the area full of money, but none of them bent down to pick it up!

    Everyone has selfishness, and so do Zhao Han's soldiers.

    However, everything captured must be returned to the public, which is repeatedly emphasized by the missionary officer.  If it was in private, maybe some soldiers hid and refused to pay, but who would not see the money picked up on the battlefield?  The money he picked up was not his own, and he would be dealt with by military law instead. Soldiers with a normal mind knew what choice to make.

    Although a few mortars were lost, at this moment, the situation is more conducive to the officers and soldiers fighting.

    Before Zhao Han stood firm in the camp, the officers and soldiers had to slowly fill up the trenches, and then attacked the rebel camp. Moreover, there were trenches in the camp, so the officers and soldiers could drink a pot of arrows with archers.

    Now it is the officers and soldiers occupying the high ground, and Zhao Han leads the troops to attack the hills!

    Although Li Maofang is greedy, he also knows how to fight.  After he lined up his troops, he suddenly raised his sword and shouted: "Give me an order to kill a traitor and reward five taels of silver. Kill a traitor officer and reward ten taels of silver. Kill a traitor general and reward a hundred taels of silver."  Two. Whoever can capture Zhao Yan and Zhao Yaonian will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!"

    Silver in the hands of Li Maofang has endless uses.

    It can be spread out to harass the army of rebels.  You can offer rewards to boost your morale.  You can feed your boss and colleagues, let everyone help him speak, and you are not afraid of a lawsuit before the emperor.

    Li Maofang is very smart, he is not a fool who just takes money when he is greedy.

    In his opinion, if silver cannot be used, it is no different from stone.

    As soon as the reward was offered, the morale of the officers and soldiers was immediately boosted.  In addition, they had more than three times as many soldiers as Zhao Han, which for a while actually downplayed the negative emotions of their own navy being repelled.

    "Hurry up and assemble the Folang machine gun! The archers stepped forward and shot the bandits!" Li Maofang shouted.

    There are only more than 500 archers among the officers and soldiers. They were originally deployed on warships, but now they are transferred to land to shoot and kill rebels.

    The thousand archers on Zhao Han's side also dispersed into a sparse formation and stepped forward.

    Huang Shun and Li Zheng, each with 500 soldiers, went around to the opposite side's flanks, waiting for an opportunity to attack.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    ? The archers on both sides shoot at each other, one side occupies a high position, and the other side has more people.

    Fei Yinggong is now the captain of a hundred archers. The bows and arrows used by these guys are different. They are the standard stone bows used in the martial arts exam.

    An arrow shot out and hit an officer accurately, and Fei Yinggong specifically looked for the officer to attack.

    What Xiong Yao used was the seven-dou bow, and he followed the soldiers in salvo.  He aimed for the enemy's head, but shot an arrow into the target's calf.

    "Boss Zheng, go attack the bandits' archers!" Li Maofang shouted.

    That Chief General Zheng, with five hundred soldiers, took advantage of the gap between the archer's stringing, and rushed down boldly.

    The flag was waved, and Jiang Dashan and Jiang Liang each led 500 people to come forward to meet them.

    ?The archers on both sides retreated respectively, and 1,500 melee soldiers strangled together. Zhao Han's central army was only left with more than 1,000 people, and 500 people from each flank circled out.

    "The first six outposts, all out to kill the thieves!"

    Li Maofang launched an attack immediately when he saw the opportunity. He felt that he had the upper hand in the army, and he could kill the rebels with a pile of people.

    Li Ruolian also shouted: "Siege and kill the bandits!"

    The two of them had the same idea, thinking that Zhao Han was too mentally retarded, and his troops were not enough, so he actually divided his troops to circle around the two wings.

    Zhao Han's central army will soon be surrounded by officers and soldiers several times larger than himself.

    Zhao Han smiled and said to Fei Ruhe: "I'll be on the left and you on the right, and form an formation together as bait."

    "No problem." Fei Ruhe said.

    oneHe led five hundred soldiers, and suddenly killed four times as many officers and soldiers as himself.  Moreover, these officers and soldiers collapsed without warning, and it was too late for Li Maofang to send a reserve team to rescue them.

    Just because most of the two thousand officers and soldiers are village braves recruited by the prefect of Linjiang, and a small part are young and strong picked from civilian husbands, their fighting power can bully the peasants.

    They first besieged Li Zheng's 500 soldiers with an absolute advantage, and fought for a long time to no avail. Instead, Li Zheng stabbed dozens of them to death.  After nearly a hundred casualties, the two thousand miscellaneous fish collapsed in an instant, and they were afraid of being served by a military judge, so they did not dare to flee back to the direction of the commander, and collapsed directly towards the Ganjiang River.

    Li Zheng immediately led his troops towards the enemy's commander, Zhang Tieniu also rushed through, and the rebels, who had less than 1,000 soldiers, went straight to the rebels' central army, which was superior in strength.

    Seeing this, Li Maofang rode on his horse and ran away. How could he care about his own army?

    Li Ruolian was stunned for a moment, and the sixty-nine-year-old Jiangxi general also hurried away on his horse.

    Although the horses of the officers and soldiers are rare, the two generals must have horses.

    As soon as they fled, the formation of the Chinese army of officers and soldiers immediately collapsed, because there were not many officers and soldiers left in the Chinese army because of the continuous dispatch of reserve troops.

    "kill!"

    At this time, Zhang Tieniu had been injured in five places, and led the slave army in pursuit.

    Li Zheng did not continue to chase, but led his troops back to meet Huang Shun on the right.  Huang Shun was facing a hard bone, and he was still stalemate in the fight.

    As for the besieged Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe, there was no need for Li Zheng to rescue them.

    6,000 officers and soldiers were unable to attack, and were attacked from behind by 1,000 archers, which was equivalent to being surrounded.  Before Li Maofang and Li Ruolian escaped, the six thousand officers and soldiers began to collapse, and at this time the whole line collapsed.

    The entire battle lasted about twenty-five minutes if counting from the time when the archers shot each other.

    The next step is to chase the enemy and receive prisoners.

    According to post-war statistics, 41 people were killed on Zhao Han's side, 18 people were seriously injured, and more than 100 people were slightly injured.

    Moreover, the most casualties were not the Chinese army who were besieged by 6,000 officers and soldiers, nor the casualties caused by archers shooting each other, but the slave army led by Zhang Tieniu who charged.

    This guy gave up defense completely, and just kept going forward to kill, so that the reserve team sent by Li Maofang didn't dare to go forward to fight.

    As for the officers and soldiers, including civilian husbands, a total of more than 16,000 people went to the battlefield.  However, the number of officers and soldiers who were shot or killed head-on was actually less than 700.

    Very outrageous data, the two sides had a total of more than 20,000 people fighting, and the total number of people who died in the actual battle was less than 1,000, and the winner was quickly determined.

    It is not even clear whether the two main generals Li Maofang and Li Ruolian fled first, or the main force of the officers and soldiers on the frontal battlefield collapsed first.

    On the contrary, during the pursuit, hundreds of officers and soldiers were stabbed to death, thousands of people jumped into the river and drowned, and the casualties were more than twice that of the frontal battle.

    Neither Zhao Han nor Fei Ruhe had the chance to use force, and they were directing the defensive battle throughout the entire process.

    After a long time, Zhang Tieniu came back leading a war horse with a head in his hand.  The guy was covered in blood, and said with a smile: "It's unlucky for him to be chopped off, and he broke his leg while riding a horse."

    Zhao Han said speechlessly, "How many places were injured this time?"

    "I don't know," Zhang Tieniu was still laughing, "Don't worry, brother, I'm not stupid, and I can still hurt people's vitals?"

    Zhao Han looked at the captives who were taken back one after another, there were thousands of them, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

    These captives selected some who did not do much evil to join the army, and threw the rest to mines. The newly occupied iron mines were in urgent need of miners.

    Li Maofang, the governor of Jiangxi, and Li Ruolian, the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi, were accompanied by only two or three soldiers.  Because there are too many rivers in Jiangxi, I can't run even on horseback. I often run, walk, and circle around the river.

    After a journey of more than two hundred miles, the two rode for nearly ten days, and finally returned to the other side of the river in Nanchang City.

    When I asked across the river, I found out that Wang Siren's navy was defeated!  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 164 [You can shake the pot] (adding updates for the leader "Kitten Maomao Rush Forward")

    The corpse of Mr. Qian was quickly carried back by the soldiers.

    Zhao Han glanced at it, and said to Zhang Tieniu: "After you go back, you will be rewarded for your merits, and the iron armor on this man will be rewarded to you."

    "That's good." Zhang Tieniu's eyes lit up, wishing he could take off the armor immediately.

    Zhao Han is still too poor. He didn't even have a pair of iron armor until now during the rebellion, and all the generals under his command can only wear leather armor.

    In the Ming Dynasty, the management of weapons was not strict. As long as they were not firearms, even strong bows and crossbows were allowed to be owned by civilians.  However, whoever dares to make and collect armor privately is tantamount to rebellion!

    The deceased in front of him should be a hereditary military general, and his armor is also an antique, maybe a hundred or two hundred years old.

    ?With the iron factories in Xinyu and Fenyi counties, the weapons station will soon be open for operation.

    The first thing to build is not a firearm, but thousands of waist knives.  At least all the daggers on the archers should be replaced with war knives, which are not daggers at all, but iron spear heads with short handles.

    The soldiers were cleaning the battlefield. Zhao Han paced over to comfort the wounded. Seeing Wu Yong was dressing his wound, he couldn't help laughing and asked, "Did you catch the high official this time?"

    Wu Yong said dejectedly: "This time the real senior officials are all riding horses, and they really can't catch up. There are so many horses for the officers and soldiers, there must be at least twenty of them."

    Wu Yong belonged to the Nuer Army. He charged with Zhang Tieniu before, and his shoulder was cut with a big cut.

    This kind of battle is the most intense.

    On the contrary, it was a defensive battle commanded by Zhao Han himself. Regardless of the tens of thousands of people from the two armies fighting each other, in fact, the casualties of poking for half a day would not be very large.  Even if the opponent is not a mob, but replaced by real elite soldiers of the imperial court, the process of fighting is similar.

    The two armies stabbed each other and killed more than half of them, which is definitely a legendary level.

    Let the Yue family army fight with the Sichuan white pole soldiers, maybe it can reach such an intensity.  As for other armies, it is normal for a casualty rate to reach 5% to collapse, and a casualty rate of 10% to collapse can be called an elite soldier.

    ?For an army capable of withstanding 20% ??casualties, only 5,000 troops are enough for Zhao Han, and he can sweep several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

    Even the Houjin army at this time, if it suffers 20% casualties, it will definitely retreat. The Tartars are more desperate than you think.

    The ability of Houjin to continue to grow does not depend on bravery and fearlessness, but on the strategy and tactics of rapid progress.

    At the beginning of Nurhachi's army, he fought without any rules, and it was only after the establishment of the Eight Banners system that he truly became an army.

    Even when it came to the Battle of Sarhu, the Tartars were not as powerful as the Ming Frontier Army.  Every time, they exploited the loopholes in the inability of the Ming army to coordinate, and suddenly attacked one of the Ming troops, winning with two to three times the superior force, and then caused the other troops of the Ming army to flee.

    What is truly terrifying is the speed at which the Tatars advance in tactics!

    ?Because of suffering a dark loss in the Battle of Sarhu, Nurhachi immediately adopted the shield car.  The shield chariots were driven by heavy infantry, and the two shield chariots combined could cover the advance of twenty or thirty infantrymen, completely blinding the firearms of the frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty.

    On the other hand, the tactics of the Ming army remained unchanged, and they still adopted the car camp firearms tactics against the Mongolian cavalry.

    So this kind of war scene appeared——

    The Ming army set up chariots, and the soldiers hid behind the chariots. The archers shot arrows and the blunderbuss shot.  This method of warfare has suppressed the Mongolian cavalry for hundreds of years.

    The Tartars used heavy infantry in front, pushing shield chariots to cover the advance of the large troops.  Most of the bows, arrows and bullets of the Ming army were blocked by shield vehicles.  The Tartar archers hiding behind the shield chariot zoomed in and shot at the Ming army.  After the infantry pushed away the obstacles along the way, the Tazi cavalry rushed out suddenly, mounted and shot at the Ming army, and immediately chased and killed them after they were routed.

    This was the case in the Battle of Daling River. The Tartar cavalry fired two rounds in a row. With the archers' volley, the Ming army collapsed directly (the morale of the Ming army was actually good. After the first round of shooting by the Tartar cavalry, the second  The second round was really overwhelmed and then retreated).

    At that time, the main force of the Tartars was equipped with: 20% armored infantry, 30% mail archers, 40% light cavalry, and 10% armored cavalry.

    And now, the Tartars have deployed firearms troops, which are even more difficult to deal with than in the Battle of Daling River!

    It's completely tactical crushing. The Tatars keep improving their tactics, but the Ming army remains unchanged. How can the Ming army beat it?

    ? By the way, heavy artillery can break through the shield formations of the Tartars, but ordinary Franco cannons and Huzun cannons cannot.

    With Zhao Han's current scumbag army, even if the soldiers can withstand 50% casualties, more than half of the soldiers will not retreat, and they will also suffer a disastrous defeat when they encounter the main force of the Tartars.

    It's the same with white soldiers, because today's Tartars,"Hit me This is the thinking of the Jiangxi Third Division officials. They are afraid that Zhao Han will take advantage of the victory to attack and encircle Nanchang Mansion.

    Zhao Han didn't bother to go there, he suffered from indigestion in the eight counties.

    Even the Fengcheng County that Huang Yao captured, Zhao Han took the initiative to let it out, as a buffer zone between him and the government.

    Li Maofang, Li Ruolian, and Wang Siren looked at each other in Nanchang.

    "What should I do?" Li Ruolian asked.

    Wang Siren sighed and said: "I still have half of my navy, and within a year, I will be able to regain my strength."

    Li Maofang couldn't speak, the defeat was too complete.

    Perhaps, Wang Siren still has the opportunity to take the blame and make meritorious deeds, because he is only a soldier in Jiangzhou.

    Perhaps, Li Ruolian can be demoted and returned to Beijing because he is a military officer from Jinyiwei.

    However, Li Maofang, as the governor of Jiangxi Province, is dismissed and dismissed from office, and it is very likely that he will be sent to prison for investigation!

    It is true that civil servants have a high status, but once the city or land is lost, the main responsibility will also be counted on the civil servants. The Chongzhen Dynasty has planted several governors.

    In the next two months, Li Ruolian and Wang Siren actively recruited troops to defend Nanchang City.

    And Li Maofang has no interest in military affairs, he also has money in Nanchang.  He sent his confidants to go straight to the capital by boat, and bribed the important officials of the court with money, so as to save his own life.

    By the way, you can blame Wang Siren.

    At the time of the decisive battle, Wang Siren's navy was defeated, which caused the main force of the officers and soldiers to collapse!

    Yes, yes, this is Wang Siren's responsibility.

    (Thanks to v Nima``bi, Shangxian Qitian for the reward, there will be a map at the end of this chapter, if you don’t have it, you can refresh it.) &lt;/div&gt

 Body 165 [Happiness on top of happiness]

    On the third day after Zhao Han entered Linjiang Mansion, Li Zheng came over with an old official: "General Town, we caught someone who wanted to burn down the county yamen's house!"

    "The chief town spares your life, the chief town spares your life!"

    The old official knelt on the ground and wailed loudly, with snot and tears, and the smell of urine even came from his crotch.

    Zhao Han said with disgust on his face: "How dare you set fire to the county government with your guts? What do you want to burn?"

    Li Zheng said angrily: "General Town, this person confessed just after two boards were issued. He wants to burn the land tax booklet of Qingjiang County."

    Zhao Han understood instantly: "Which family do you belong to? How much did you fly?"

    The old official didn't dare to answer, but knelt on the ground and shivered.

    Zhao Han sneered and said: "Find out whose family it belongs to. After the public trial, all the clan elders were killed. Children were sent to nursing homes, men were assigned to mine iron mines, and young women were assigned to unmarried soldiers as wives!"

    The old official suddenly collapsed and fainted from fright.

    The method used by big landlords to evade taxation is not the most disgusting, but Feisa is really disgusting!

    The so-called Feisa means that the title deed is still in the hands of the landlord, and the landlord still recruits tenants to cultivate.  However, the government's tax booklets contain the names of other farmers.  Many small landlords and self-cultivating farmers, and even tenants, have inexplicably acquired countless lands, and have to pay countless land taxes for inexplicable reasons, and they don't know who is harming them.

    In modern times, the principal Jiang was overwhelmed by a big landlord. He came to beat him up, but was arrested and paid for it.  Because of this incident, he made up his mind to study in Japan, hoping to stand out and not be bullied.

    The old official in front of him just wanted to burn the official documents so that his family would not be traced when the land was divided.

    By the way, eliminating the Feisa phenomenon is also one of the reasons why small landlords and self-cultivating farmers are willing to be loyal to Zhao Han.

    Especially for the small landlord class, they may hold less land after the land is divided.  But the land tax that needs to be paid is also declining rapidly, because before, I was confused and didn't know who was entrapped by flying.

    Officials, missionary groups, and the backbone of the peasant association are coming one after another, and the city of Linjiang is temporarily under Zhao Han's military control.

    After dealing with this old official, Zhao Han continued to patrol the city in person, and he went out to patrol a few streets every day.

    Today, I wandered around the west of the city. As we walked, Zhao Han frowned: "Why are there so many temples here? Immediately check the whole city, how many temples are there!"

    Half a day later, Zhao Han got the details. There are eleven temples in the city.

    This is simply outrageous. Although the city of Linjiang Fu is high and deep, its area is not very large. There are eleven temples in the city, and there are some outside the city!

    It can only be said that Linjiang Mansion's business is too prosperous, countless merchants are full of food, or they do bad things and want to find comfort, so they spend money to support countless monks and Taoists.  Many of these temples in the city have no temple land, and live entirely on the incense of believers.

    Continue to check the outside of the city, adding up the inside and outside of the city, there are a total of eighteen temples and Taoist temples!

    Zhao Han carefully understood the information of these temples, and immediately issued an order: "All monks and Taoists who do not have a degree will be ordered to return to the vulgar. Inside and outside the city, only one temple and one temple will be kept. The temples will keep the Guanghan Temple, and the Taoist temple will keep the Chenghuang Temple.  Taoist priests are all concentrated in these two temples to practice. Don’t demolish the rest of the temples, just demolish the statues of gods and Buddhas, and free up houses as large courtyards for the homeless people in the city to live in!”

    With an order, the chickens and dogs jumped immediately.

    Thousands of illegal monks and Taoist priests were found out and ordered to return to vulgarity, while there were only a mere thirty or so legal monks with certificates.

    All the goods in these temples were also confiscated by Zhao Han, adding up to more than 8,000 taels of silver!

    "Chief town, there is a mage outside asking to see you."

    "Catch him directly and thoroughly investigate his crimes. Even if he didn't break the law himself, if his monks committed usury or the like, he would be arrested directly and go to the iron mine to mine!"

    Outside the government office, the highly respected Dharma Master Suzhen originally wanted to rely on his reputation and use his three-inch tongue to persuade Zhao Han to respect the gods and Buddhas and not to do such nasty things of slandering Buddhas and gods.

    Then……

    "Let go of me, let me go, what a shame!" Master Suzhen panicked and was dragged to the cell by a group of soldiers.

    A few days later, the results of the interrogation were placed in front of Zhao Han.

    Master Suzhen really has both virtue and conduct. Not only is the Dharma profound, but he also donates money to build bridges and pave roads. He is very famous in the entire Linjiang Prefecture.

    However, as the abbot of Yuanmiaoguan, his main income is usury and collecting land rent, followed by incense money donated by believers.  This temple has thousands of acres of land on the outskirts of the city, and I don't know how to accumulate it!

    &nb"Remember the teachings below."

    Bao Qingtian in the Song Dynasty really only did what he was supposed to do, and he just had to do what he was supposed to do well.  It is absolutely impossible for the magistrate, Shangshu Jianyan, to carry out reforms, because that is not his responsibility.

    Therefore, although Bao Zheng offended many powerful people, that was what he did when he was an inspector, that was his duty, and no one could find fault.  Before becoming a supervisor, Bao Zheng could not offend even a powerful person.

    When Zhao Han said these words, he was also warning Yuan Yunlong not to do his own things.  Because Yuan Yunlong's niece is about to marry Fei Ruhe!

    That night, Ouyang Zheng sent a letter: "General Town, this is from my wife, let me hand it over."

    When Zhao Han opened the letter, he immediately smiled.

    Fei Rulan was pregnant. Not long after Zhao Han left for the expedition, the doctor had already confirmed her happy pulse.  Afraid of affecting Zhao Han's fight, Fei Rulan kept it secret, even Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others didn't know about it.

    I am going to be a father?

    Zhao Han felt amazing. He had never been married before time travelling. In his two lifetimes combined, it was the first time he was going to be a father.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 166【Destiny】

    ,

    "Headquarters, a secret message from Nanchang!"

    After receiving the good news, Zhao Han arranged some affairs and was about to return to Ji'an as soon as possible, when he suddenly received a secret letter from Xu Ying.

    After translating with the code, there are only eleven words: Our army won a big victory, the people of Raozhou rebelled, and Fucheng fell.

    Zhao Han immediately laughed, Jiangxi is really a powder keg, when the news of the defeat of the officers and soldiers came out, the peasants in Raozhou Prefecture immediately rebelled.

    In terms of the importance of taxation and labor, the whole of Jiangxi should belong to Raozhou Prefecture and Jianchang Prefecture.

    The people of Raozhou Prefecture have to support King Huai.

    The people of Jianchang Mansion have to support King Yi.

    Although these two vassal kings occupy countless fields, the salaries of their clan children (including the vassal king himself) have to be provided by the local government, and the central court will not pay.

    There are countless children in the clan, how can the common people afford to support them?

    ?Even when Zhang Juzheng reformed, a whip method could not be implemented here. Until Chongzhen was hanged to death, farmers in the two prefectures still turned in their grain.

    In addition to food and taxes, there are also labor.

    If the vassal kings want to repair gardens, the people in a radius of tens of miles will suffer, so obediently bring your own dry food to serve corvee.

    Now it's cool, the peasants rebelled and captured Fucheng, and I don't know if that King Huai escaped.

    It can only be said that Zhao Han's successive victories have given great confidence to those who tried to rebel.

    When Zhao Han returned to Ji'an Prefecture, more than a dozen messengers had already gathered there, and even the Tantric Sect in Nanfeng County had sent people.

    "Congratulations to the general town for its triumphant return!"

    At the southern pier of the city, officials of all sizes shouted in unison, and many people also shouted.

    Perhaps a few months ago, the common people were afraid of the imperial court, but now a huge victory has immediately calmed people's hearts.

    Even the gentry and merchants have become more honest.

    More than a dozen anti-thief messengers from other places subconsciously wanted to bow down.  But halfway through kneeling, he was stunned again. The local officials actually just bowed. They kneeled in the crowd, but they were different.

    Zhao Han bowed his hands to Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others and said: "I have been fighting outside for more than two months, and it is all up to you to manage the rear."

    "I dare not take it."

    "It's a matter of duty."

    "Do your best to serve the general town!"

    ""

    Surrounded by officials into the city, Pang Chunlai said as he walked: "More than a dozen rebel envoys have come one after another, saying that they want to elect the general town as the leader of Jiangxi. Especially the rebels in southern Jiangxi were severely beaten by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi and the governor of Fujian.  They were defeated, and they asked the town to send troops to rescue them."

    "Let's talk about this later."

    Of course it was impossible for Zhao Han to send troops. He had just fought a big battle, and the food and grass were seriously consumed, and the soldiers were a little tired. They had to rest for at least half a year.

    Moreover, the weapons store has already opened, and after all the equipment is changed, the combat power can be greatly improved.

    Song Yingxing even encouraged Zhao Han to capture Ningdu County, because Ningdu has sulfur mines, which are necessary for making gunpowder.

    Ningdu is just to the east of Jishui County. Zhao Han wrote a letter to directly deny it. He would rather send people to buy it than continue to expand in the short term.

    "Let them wait, I'll go home to visit Madam first," Zhao Han winked and said with a smile, "Madam is pregnant."

    Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua looked at each other with surprise expressions on their faces.

    The benefits brought by this news are no less than the defeat of the official army.  The rebel leader has descendants, which can make the interior more stable and reduce many unnecessary troubles.

    After entering the General Military Mansion, they went to work immediately, without delaying Zhao Han's return home to visit his wife.

    Fei Rulan was standing at the gate of the inner courtyard looking around. She didn't go to the pier to join in the fun. Firstly, she was afraid of getting gas, and secondly, she didn't want to show up too much.

    Seeing Zhao Han approaching, Fei Rulan smiled and said, "Congratulations to my husband for his return."

    Fei Rulan still had to salute, Zhao Han hurriedly supported her, and helped his wife go in and sit down: "Be careful when you're pregnant, can you invite an experienced old lady?"

    "Please," Xiyue came over with tea, "Master, drink tea."

    Zhao Hanniu took a sip, then stroked his wife's lower abdomen, which was already slightly protruding.

    The pregnancy was confirmed in early May, and now it is early July. Counting the time before the diagnosis, the child is at least four or five months old.

    "Do you still vomit often?" Zhao Han asked.

    Fei Rulan said with a smile: "Occasionally I still want to vomit, but it's not as bad as last month."

    "Be careful when you walk, and don't bend down casually, be careful of fetal gas." Zhao Han reminded.

    Fei Rulan's heart was sweet, but at the same time she said with a smile: "Okay, you can alsoIf you make a mistake, you may lose your life, and blood will flow from the battle!

    Zhao Han continued to think and decided to reduce the number of eunuchs and only use them in the inner palace.  Even within the imperial city, as long as they are not in the inner palace, normal men can be used to work.

    The number of court ladies must also be reduced. After working for a certain number of years, the court ladies can be released to the people to allow them to marry, and a few old nuns who do not want to leave the palace can also be retained.

    Thinking about it left and right, Zhao Han became more and more irritable, so he simply covered his head and fell asleep to deal with it later.

    After resting at home for three full days, Zhao Han finally officially went to work.

    The first people he met were not those anti-thief envoys, but Wang Diaoding, who specialized in theoretical research.

    "I heard, what article did you write?" Zhao Han asked.

    Wang Tiaoding presented a few pages of manuscript paper: "I haven't announced it to the public, and I don't know whether it should be announced to the public."

    Zhao Han took a look, frowned and said, "Chuan Guoyi's surname?"

    "It comes from the Confucian Gongyang School's theory of Chuan Guo Yi's surname, but it has been changed. The destiny is unchanging, and only virtue is the auxiliary," Wang Tiaoding explained in detail, fearing that Zhao Han would not understand, "These two sentences come from "  The Book of Songs and the Book of History are not apostasy, but serious Confucian speeches. The fate of heaven is impermanent and cannot be permanent. The Son of Heaven was born in response to the fate of Heaven, and his virtue is to promote benevolent government and nurture the people. Today's great son of heaven cannot practice benevolent government.  It is impossible to caress the people. This is called losing virtue and losing the destiny. If a virtuous person climbs up and shouts, conducts a benevolent government, and caress the people, then he will gain his virtue and the destiny will return! ?

 Body 167 [Thieves] (addition for the leader "Genius945")

    ,

    Zhao Han read the article carefully again, and said with a smile: "You can find things from the pile of old papers."

    Wang Diaoding's identity at this time is very strange. He not only conducts theoretical research for Zhao Han's rebellion, but also refuses to completely rely on Zhao Han.  He said: "In the beginning, I turned to the theory of Emperor Taizu's Dian Xing Blessing from the "Yuzhi Dagao". But compared with the actions of the general town, this theory is completely useless."

    Zhu Yuanzhang's theory of prosperity and blessings can be described in four words: standing up again!

    And the logic is confusing. He first explained that all the land in the whole country belongs to the emperor.  As long as you have eaten in this country, then the emperor is kind to you, and you cannot oppose the emperor.

    ?Including Zhu Yuanzhang's own family members, although several died of starvation, they were also beholden to the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty.

    Then he said that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had no way, so some foolish people rebelled.

    Moreover, rebellion is wrong, even if you are starving to death, rebellion is ungrateful, and such behavior must be condemned by God.

    As for Zhu Yuanzhang himself, he was forced to rebel and entered the Red Turban Army by mistake, and directly called the Red Turban Army "violent soldiers".  At that time, thieves and thieves rose together, and the world no longer belonged to the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was not rebelling, but was trying to calm down the world as soon as possible so that the common people could live a stable life.

    Through this theory, Zhu Yuanzhang does not admit that he rebelled, but he is the one who helps the world!

    However, Zhao Han's theory of family, country and world is clearly about rebellion, and it is completely incompatible with Zhu Yuanzhang's theory of prosperity and blessings.

    Zhao Han continued to read and ponder, and asked: "Don't the Gongyang School of Confucianism advocate great unification?"

    "It was the Gongyang faction in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty," Wang Tiaoding explained in detail, "During the periods of Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Gongyang faction proposed the theory of passing on the name of the country.  The Yang faction believes that the emperor has no way, and a wise man must be replaced as the emperor. Moreover, they begged the emperor to abdicate in person."

    "What's the end?" Zhao Han asked again.

    Wang Tiaoding replied: "The one who asked for the abdication of Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty was killed, and the one who asked for the abdication of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty committed suicide."

    Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, they really dare."

    Wang Tiaoding said: "Although these two people died, the theory of passing on the Guoyi surname has spread widely, and even became the consensus of Confucian scholars all over the world. Therefore, Wang Mang usurped the throne, and no one opposed it. The whole world is waiting for him to pass on the Guoyi surname.  "

    "The country's long-standing evils are deep, and changing the emperor will make it better." Zhao Han shook his head and sighed.

    Wang Tiaoding argued: "The Great Qin was unified, and the second generation died. There are many things that the Confucian scholars in the Han Dynasty couldn't figure out."

    This is crossing the river by feeling the stones. For the first time, the Western Han Dynasty faced many problems of the unified dynasty. It could not learn from history and could only explore various solutions that seemed naive to later generations.

    Wang Tiaoding continued: "The next article on the theory of the country changing surnames is different from that of the Han Dynasty, but it combines the theory of family, country and world of the general town."

    Wang Tiaoding's article expounds in this way——

    The destiny is impermanent, and the virtuous live there.

    If you lose your morality, you lose your destiny.

    What counts as unethical?

    To quote Mencius: "Jie and Zhou lost the world and lost their people; those who lost their people lost their hearts. There is a way to win the world: if you win the people, you win the world.  There is a way to get the people. There is a way to get their hearts: get together with them as you want, and don't do evil to them, so do you."

    Those who have virtue can make the people happy, can bring all the people back to their hearts, and can rule the world.

    The hearts of the people are the destiny.

    The process of obtaining the Mandate of Heaven is the process of obtaining the hearts of the people.

    The heart of the people is not the heart of the gentry, but the heart of the common people.

    How to win the hearts of the people?

    It is necessary to observe the faults of the Ming court and correct them.  Dividing the land and the people, appointing talented officials, suppressing the evil gentry and powerful, and punishing corrupt officials are all correcting the mistakes of the imperial court.

    As long as this set of policies is implemented in the world, you will be able to win the hearts of all people and the favor of destiny.

    You can, pass on Guoyi's surname, and ascend the throne as emperor!

    The country mentioned is not the Ming Dynasty, but Huaxia Shenzhou.

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "Why don't you dare to spread the article and only come to me secretly?"

    Wang Tiaoding said: "Daming has no way, and the town has virtue to live in. If the country where the town was founded, if there is no way, wouldn't it be virtuous to live in?"

    "The children and grandchildren have no virtue, and they will be destroyed." Zhao Han didn't worry about his children and grandchildren, because worrying was useless.

    How can there be an eternal dynasty?

    "That's it," Wang Tiaoding said.bsp;The envoy from southern Jiangxi didn't know what to do, so he just sat there dejected.

    Zhao Han then said to Fang Shenghong: "Brother Fang, to tell you the truth, I have newly expanded five counties and I am dealing with internal affairs. I am very happy that you are willing to join me, but I will not mobilize troops again within this year.  "

    Fang Shenghong said with a smile: "Then we will go up ourselves, occupy Taihe County, and dedicate it to Zhao Zongzhen together. Those bandits in Taihe County, burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes are a hundred times more hateful than corrupt officials!"

    If Fang Shenghong can really do it, Zhao Han will take the land of the three counties for nothing, and the land can be connected into one piece, directly bordering Ganzhou Prefecture.

    "That's it, wait for the good news." Zhao Han clasped his fists and said.

    In the end, there was only one envoy left, Zhao Han asked: "Are you from the secret sect?"

    The envoy said: "I am the Nanfeng sub-altar of the Mimi Sect. The Mimi Sect is willing to submit its teaching to King Zhao."

    "What are your requirements?" Zhao Han asked.

    The messenger said: "After the matter is completed, please ask Zhao Tianwang to designate our leader Zhang as a celestial master, and the two protectors Jiang and Zhou as great masters to protect the country."

    "roll!"

    Zhao Han said unhappily: "I don't associate with demons."

    Just as they were talking, the main altar of the Secret Esoteric Sect was gone, and the leader, Zhang Puwei, fled into the mountains with the remnants.

    Zhang Yinggao, the magistrate of Guangxin, who was in his fifties, did not recruit troops to suppress bandits immediately after taking office.  It is to rectify the administration of officials, crack down on corrupt officials, and abolish the tribute paper policy of Guangxin Mansion, which has won the unanimous praise of the paper industry.

    ?Including the Fei family of Qianshan, many big families support Zhang Yinggao.

    Then, Zhang Yinggao abolished exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes to reduce the burden on farmers, thus conquering the hearts of ordinary people.

    ?With the support of the gentry and the common people, Zhang Yinggao recruited more than 4,000 soldiers, and recaptured Shanglu Town after only two months of training, and now he has recaptured Qianshan County.

    The rebels in Qianshan County disappeared.

    Moreover, Zhang Yinggao is contacting Governor Li Maofang, saying that he can come to help in the next war, and that he will bring 5,000 elite soldiers to kill the Luling Zhao bandits!

    Alas, Jiangxi's rebels are on the rise, and capable ministers are also constantly emerging.

 Body 168【Group wedding】

    ,

    General Military Mansion.

    When Chen Maosheng handed over a post, Zhao Han thought it was an official document, but when he took it, it turned out to be a wedding invitation.

    This surprised Zhao Han, and asked with a smile, "Who is the bride?"

    "Zongzhen also knows her, her name is Yang Chun'e." Chen Maosheng replied.

    Zhao Han was a little surprised: "That's Comrade Yang from the missionary church?"

    "Yes." Chen Maosheng nodded.

    Yang Chun'e was the victim of the rape case. Zhao Han really didn't expect Chen Maosheng to marry her.

    Chen Maosheng explained: "The general town knows my past. In my opinion, chastity is a matter of heart. A person, regardless of gender, as long as he sincerely follows the good, that is the real good. Some people in the Datong Association, and even the missionary group  Some people here, although they don't say it verbally, they despise Chun'e in their hearts. I think this is wrong, and I hope that after I get married with Chun'e, I can completely change their minds."

    Zhao Han hesitated to speak, he suddenly didn't know what to say.

    Chen Maosheng continued: "I am not the only one. Many comrades in the mission group are willing to marry lesbians who have been prostitutes. We just want to show the world and let the world know what is good and bad."

    "I'm not as good as you guys." Zhao Han sighed.

    Those propositions of the Datong Association were put forward by Zhao Han. Although he agrees with them in his heart, they are also a means and tool for doing things.

    Especially in the past year or so, Zhao Han has been busy with military and political affairs, and he has been a little out of touch with the real bottom. He has become less pure.

    On the contrary, it was people like Chen Maosheng, members of the Datong Association who came from lowly backgrounds, who had always abided by the membership oath of the Datong Association.  They are actors, house slaves, coolies, tortoises, prostitutes, and military households. They are really trying to practice equality of personality.

    For this, Zhao Han was ashamed and felt like a betrayer.

    Zhao Han suddenly asked: "Where are Xiaohong and Xiaocui?"

    Chen Maosheng said with a strange expression: "Theyhave no intention of getting married."

    Zhao Han didn't know how to solve it, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "I don't mean any discrimination, but have you ever thought about it, some lesbians may not be able to have children."

    Many prostitutes will take contraceptives and abortion pills, thus leaving behind the sequelae of infertility.

    Chen Maosheng nodded and said: "I've thought about it, if you can't have children, you can adopt the child from the nursing home."

    These people are the real revolutionaries.

    It's a pity that Zhao Han can't lead a real revolution. All he can do is abolish the good and low system, crack down on various inequalities, and try to make life better for everyone in the world.  This country is too large, and its cultural traditions are deeply rooted. A complete overthrow will inevitably cause even greater chaos.

    Zhao Han sighed and said, "I will officiate the marriage for you personally."

    Half a month later, the collective wedding.

    This is a new thing, which has aroused the curiosity of many people, and at the same time, there is a lot of private discussion, thinking that they are corrupt virtues.

    So many high-ranking missionary officials marry good prostitutes. Isn't that corrupting virtue?  Not only corrupt virtue, but also embarrass the ancestors!

    ?There were even rumors abounding that within the mission group, there were usually things that were despised, otherwise why would they recruit so many good prostitutes?

    In fact, there were not many marriages this time, and there were only nine couples in total.

    There is a groom who is quite special, named Xiao Yuankui, who is not only a son of a wealthy family, but also has a reputation as a scholar.  He had married a wife before, but died of dystocia. Since then, he has not been close to women, not to mention remarriages, and he does not even accept concubines, only saying that he wants to concentrate on imperial examinations.

    Xiao Yuankui first worked as a civil servant in Zhao Han's army, then transferred to the Luling County Government as a civil servant, and then went to Anfu County as the mayor, and worked with the missionary group to do the work of dividing the land.

    There is a female missionary who not only looks like his late wife, but also can sing poems and songs.

    In their spare time, the two discussed poetry and music with each other.  Even when the female missionaries were transferred away, they also kept in touch with each other. From the beginning, they mainly focused on folk art, and gradually changed to chatting about trivial matters in life.

    On this day, nine groom officials, wearing beautiful No. 1 gowns (wedding imitation models), rode horses to the inn to meet the bride.

    The number of horses in Zhao Han's hands has increased to eleven, which were captured in the war some time ago.

    Nowadays, it is very generous to let the bridegroom officials ride to greet the relatives.

    Among the welcoming team, those who are in charge of blowing and playing are all commanding soldiers in the army.  Blowing the suona all the way, knocking on the gong, so happy and lively.

    There are crowds of people watching everywhere along the way, some are watching happily, while others are pointing.

    ?Suddenly, more than a dozen people rushed out, including men, women and children.?Everything is changing, including traditional ideas of consciousness.

    This is not something that can be achieved overnight, it must be done slowly and gradually.

    There were many happy events this summer. Not long after the group wedding, Fei Ruhe also got married and started a family.

    And far away at sea, Zheng Zhilong fought with Liu Xiang, and Liu Xiang's gang was completely wiped out.

    ? In southern Jiangxi, the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi and the governors of Fujian joined forces to break the rebel alliance of the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi.  More than 2,000 people were beheaded, more than 4,000 people were captured, and Huichang County was taken back. The southern Jiangxi rebels only had one county in Ruijin.

    The battle situation changed faster than Zhao Han imagined, and the Fujian-Guangdong coalition forces might go northward after the autumn harvest.

    After receiving the southern battle report, Zhao Han immediately asked the Weapons Institute to give priority to building equipment for the navy.  At the same time, the thousand archers were also transferred to the ship for training.

    But at this time, an uprising suddenly broke out in Guangdong.

    It is purely because the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has increased too many exorbitant taxes for military training.  Moreover, the governor took the officers and soldiers to fight in southern Jiangxi, and the troops in Guangdong Province were empty. Farmers in six counties rose up in succession, and the county towns of four counties were breached.

    This situation soon spread to Guangxi, and the ethnic minority brothers also exploded.

    Many of those ethnic minority brothers are under the rule of chieftains and native officials.  Native officials are appointed former chieftains as adjutant officials after returning to the native land, and they can be hereditary in disguise. They exploit the people of their own clan the most.

    ?Guangzhou and Guangxi were fighting everywhere, Governor Shen Youlong had no choice but to go back to put out the fire, and let the governor of Fujian continue to attack Ruijin.

 Body 169 [Businessmen chasing big profits]

    Chen Maosheng, as the head of the Propaganda Department of the General Military Mansion, married a good prostitute as his wife. This woman was raped half a year ago.

    Moreover, Zhao Han personally officiated the marriage!

    The news spread quickly, not only causing a sensation in the eight counties, but even spreading to farther states and counties.

    Although there are many critics, the positive effect is also very significant, and people's ideas are gradually changing.

    In that month, more than 30 prostitutes applied to join the mission group

    Zhao Han's policy on Goulan brothels is very similar to that of concubines.

    If the people do not raise the case, the officials will not be held accountable; if the people are held up, the officials must be held accountable!

    In principle, brothels are prohibited and taxed.

    But do not take the initiative to search, if a prostitute leaves voluntarily, the brothel must not stop it, otherwise the brothel will be banned directly.  In total, seven brothels have been shut down, all of which are suspected of illegally imprisoning women's freedom, and the crime announced to the public is "forced sex for prostitution."

    Grain merchant Li Fenglai is spending time in the brothel at the moment.

    When he came to Ji'an this time, the business was not very good, because Zhao Han was fighting a war and expanding his army, so he consumed a lot of food, and the remaining food had to be stored.

    Some of the big households whose fields were divided still lived a life of luxury, and had to sell grain for insufficient money.  There are also some small people who sell grain to the Qianliang shop in the village, and the Qianliang shop sells it to grain merchants in other places. Li Fenglai has collected thousands of grains one after another.

    Rural money and food shops have not been completely banned, but usury is prohibited.

    Because the money and grain shop opened by the landlord is very important in the countryside, farmers must rely on this kind of shop to exchange grain for copper coins or silver.

    Fei Chun's grain stores could not spread across every village and town, and there were probably two or three grain stores in each town.

    If the landlord's money and grain shop is too deceitful, farmers will choose to go a long way and sell their grain to the official grain store for money.

    After listening to the ditty and drinking the flower wine, Li Fenglai was helped to bed by the famous prostitute Pan Saisai.

    He felt something stuck in the back of his head, and reached out his hand to dig under the pillow, but it turned out to be "The Collection of Great Harmony", and he immediately smiled and said, "Miss Pan also reads this kind of book?"

    Pan Saisai explained: "After finishing this month, I will go to the missionary officer exam, and I have to read some articles in advance."

    "The madam is willing to let you go?" Li Fenglai asked in surprise.

    "How dare she not let her go?" Pan Saisai sneered, "If she hadn't begged hard, I would have left at the beginning of the month. I would not tell lies to Mr. Li. If I can truly behave, who would be willing to abuse myself?"

    Li Fenglai got up and sat on the head of the bed, and said: "Mr.Zhao Zhao has occupied Ji'an Mansion for so long, why is Miss Pan thinking of becoming a good man now?"

    Pan Saisai replied: "Since ancient times, prostitutes have been good, and they have never had a good end. They were just abandoned by their lovers in the end. I was afraid before, and I misunderstood the mission team, thinking that they were doing that kind of thing in the army. It's different now. How noble is Mr. Chen?"  , in charge of the Mission Department of the General Military Mansion, but I don’t dislike my background, and Mr. Zhao married a good prostitute, or Mr. Zhao personally officiated the marriage. Since you have a bright future, why don’t you go?”

    Pan Saisai began to fantasize about the future, and said with a smile: "I don't want to be too high-spirited. I just need to work hard with the mission team and find someone with good conduct and who can read a few words to marry. If it really treats me well  , It’s okay to be illiterate.”

    Seeing that the prostitute was in the brothel, Li Fenglai sighed: "Alas, there will be fewer and fewer brothels in Ji'an Mansion in the future."

    Pan Saisai sneered and said, "It's best if there is no one in the place where the filth is hidden."

    Since Pan Saisai was determined to be a good man, he didn't bother to please the guests on purpose, and said what was on his mind.

    There may be women imprisoned in brothels, but it is absolutely impossible to happen to famous prostitutes.  Now with the backing of the government, Pan Saisai can leave whenever he wants, without even paying the ransom money.

    Li Fenglai flipped through the "Datong Collection" casually, and was forced to buy a copy as soon as his merchant ship docked.

    At that time, I was too lazy to read it, but now I am interested, and I gradually read it with horror.

    There are only five articles in "Datong Collection": "Selected Chapters of the Datong Association", "Theory of Datong's Dividing Fields", "Theory of Destiny", "Theory of Gewei", and "Theory of Good and Low".

    The author of "Geweilun" is signed by Zhao Zhuochen, but it has already spread to Nanchang, and even to other provinces. Cai Maode played a role in fueling the flames.

    "On Good and Cheap" was written by Chen Maosheng. The whole article is in vernacular and used for dissemination at the bottom.  Then I asked Wang Tiaoding to polish it, write it with great literary talent, and show it to those who have read it.

    Li Fenglai was born in a big family in Nanchang, but he is a son of a concubine, otherwise he would not be working hard, and he can just lie at home and enjoy the blessings.

    After reading these articles, Li Fenglai felt that his family must be doomed,.  The eldest son is fourteen years old, the second son is eleven years old, and the youngest son is only seven years old.  Both the eldest son and the second son are willing to send to Bailuzhou Academy to study.  "

    This is a hostage.

    Zhao Han laughed loudly: "With the help of the king, why worry about the injustice of the world?"

    Li Fenglai is in the grain business, buying grain from Jiangxi and Huguang, and then selling it to various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

    In many places in Huguang, Jiangxi, and Jiangnan, the Li family has a business. It must be no problem to put two guys in. Isn't this intelligence network established?

    After discussing with Li Fenglai for a long time, Zhao Han began to select intelligence personnel, looking for the most loyal and able to do things.

    All these people were left to Xu Ying to manage.

    Half a month later, Li Fenglai brought the purchased food and more than 20 intelligence personnel, and led the fleet to Nanchang Mansion.

    After he went back, the first thing he did was to send his eldest son and second son to Bailuzhou Academy.

    As for those intelligence personnel, they secretly ran to contact Xu Ying behind Li Fenglai's back.

    For the time being, Li Fenglai cannot be fully trusted, and Xu Ying's true identity is also inconvenient to reveal.

    However, Xu Ying, this time has been full of wind and water!  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 170 [Money Ability Shows Power] (addition for the lord's "one person alone catches one river autumn")

    ,

    Xu Ying's restaurant has changed location. Although the location is still not good, it has become a two-story building.

    It was named Shunde Building.

    The reputation has gradually spread, and even vegetable farmers outside Jinxianmen have begun to grow peppers in large quantities.  Because the business of Shunde Building is good, other restaurants also use chili peppers, and the demand for chili peppers in Nanchang City soars.

    Upstairs in the private room, a group of scholars are gathering.

    The restaurant opened by Xu Ying has become the headquarters of the "Homecoming Association".

    There are more and more members of the Returning Home Society, including the newly occupied Linjiang Mansion scholars, and many fled to Nanchang to live.

    Before the dishes were ready, Xiao Puyun, the leader of the meeting, said in a low voice: "Governor Li is probably going to leave Jiangxi."

    "After such a big defeat, I have no choice but to leave, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to Beijing to ask questions!" said a scholar named Chen Heming.

    Xu Ying asked curiously: "Governor Li is gone, who will suppress the rebels in Raozhou?"

    Although the rebels in Raozhou Prefecture have a small territory and are not violent, it is the territory of Duke Huai.

    King Huai's name is Zhu Yiju, which has the same name as King Jing more than a hundred years ago. It can only be said that he was too careless in choosing the name, and such an uncommon name can also cause trouble.

    Zhu Yiju is in his thirties this year, but he himself runs fast.  But the concubines and concubines of the previous generation of Duke Huai, as well as his own concubines and concubines, including his four-year-old eldest son, were all captured by the peasant rebel army.

    As for the end, one can imagine.

    This matter is as difficult as the Luling Zhao bandits. In order to atone for his crimes, Li Maofang used all his strength to go to Raozhou to suppress the bandits.

    Xiao Puyun smiled and said: "The Raozhou thief is gone."

    "It has been more than a month since the troops were dispatched to suppress the bandits, and the Raozhou bandits have been wiped out? Isn't it too easy to fight?" A scholar named Lu Yu couldn't help but sarcastically.

    "You are the Luling Zhao Yan who is the rebel?" The person who spoke was Zuo Xiaocheng, who fled to Nanchang.

    Which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, as soon as this remark comes out, everyone is silent.

    The Luling Zhao bandits are too hateful. They have already defeated two governors, and they don't know when they will be wiped out.

    After a cold meal, Xu Ying quickly eased the atmosphere: "Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, and try our boiled beef. This beef is not easy to buy. I bought two catties yesterday."

    "Yes, yes, eat vegetables!" Xiao Puyun also said.

    The previous Chen Heming asked: "Since Governor Li has wiped out the Raozhou thieves and is making atonement, why do you still say that Governor Li is leaving?"

    Xiao Puyun smiled and said: "Chen Yushi's impeachment memorial has already been sent to the capital at the beginning of the year, before he fought the Zhao bandits. Chen Yushi impeached Governor Li, saying that he searched for the people's fat and anointment, and used the name of military training to fill his own pockets.  After the defeat of Governor Li, Chen Yushi asked why, and impeached Governor Li for looting Linjiang Mansion with his troops, causing the people to hate the officers and soldiers and follow the thieves. Yesterday afternoon, there were pedestrians and Tiqi who arrived in Nanchang by boat.  Coming with the governor."

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and Xu Ying went to open it herself.

    A scholar came in panting, took a ladle of soup to moisten his throat: "Something has happened, Li Ruolian, the Jiangxi general, was demoted and returned to Beijing. Wang Siren, who was in charge of Jiangzhou military preparations, was demoted to the magistrate of Qianjiang."

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, completely confused about the situation.

    ?It is clear that the battle was defeated, and the governor of Jiangxi should take the main responsibility, but why is it that the general soldier and his son were accused of crimes instead?

    It's very simple, Li Maofang activated the banknote ability.

    The officials of Jiangxi's Third Department all spoke for Li Maofang.  Many ministers of the imperial court also spoke for Li Maofang.

    ?Shoufu Wen Tiren, he is neither greedy nor accepting bribes.  But his henchmen and allies were all greedy, and Wen Tiren said nothing about Jiangxi.

    Although Wang Siren belonged to the Donglin Party, many of the Donglin Party in the court had received money and were unwilling to speak for Wang Siren.

    The Donglin Party is a mixed bag, and there are conflicts among them, which can be divided with money.

    In this defeat, Wang Siren took the blame. The court believed that he fled in fear of the enemy, and the defeat of the navy caused the main force to collapse.  Li Ruolian was incompetent in running the army, and his soldiers burned, killed and looted the people. Li Maofang blamed Li Ruolian for everything he did.

    Of course, as the chief official, Li Maofang must not escape punishment.

    The official was demoted to one level, his salary was reduced by six stones, and he continued to govern Jiangxi, and he was accused of committing crimes and meritorious deeds. This is the imperial court's treatment of Li Maofang.

    "Hoo!"

    Xiao Puyun slapped the table and was furious: "Li Maofang is completely incompetent. If he continues to be the governor, when will the Zhao thieves be wiped out?"

    "Your MajestyYour Majesty will be deceived by treacherous ministers." Lu Yu sat slumped on the chair, as if drained.bsp; When Dong Xiangheng was patrolling Shandong, he dared to ride alone into the camp of rebels and ordered those rebels to surrender quickly.  Later, he served as a soldier in Fujian and participated in the quelling of civil unrest in southern Fujian. He also performed very well.

    By the way, Dong Xiangheng is a member of Dong Qichang's clan.

    Zhao Han received the secret letter and immediately went to ask Li Banghua for advice.

    Li Banghua frowned and said: "Yang Jiamo's military discipline is corrupt, and he is used to killing good men and taking meritorious service. His soldiers are indeed brave in battle, but they are easy to escape when they encounter setbacks. He will be transferred to the general army of Jiangxi this time.  Bring, when fighting, you must be prepared for cavalry to charge. You can order the weapon station to recruit carpenters to build chariots that can resist cavalry."

    Yang Jiamo's servant, a Gansu cavalry soldier.  Although Jiangxi's water network is criss-crossed and the cavalry cannot attack long distances, it is also useful at critical moments.

    Because Jiangxi people have never seen cavalry rushing into battle, they are likely to collapse due to fear when they suddenly encounter such a horrible scene.

    Li Maofang and Wang Siren went to rescue Fengyang, but they were frightened by Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry, and the Jiangxi soldiers began to flee before they could meet the enemy.

    Li Banghua added: "As for Dong Xiangheng, although I know him, I don't know what he is capable of."

    It means that, as a junior, we have worked together for a short time and have not had much in-depth contact.

    Zhao Han immediately ordered people to build a chariot, which was actually a moving horse.  However, the functions are very diverse. They can carry food, grass and ordnance during marching, and put them in front of the formation to resist cavalry during combat.

    At the same time, the great battle in Linjiang Mansion finally spread throughout Jiangxi, and Zhao Tianwang's name can stop children from crying at night.

    Qianshan County is in the easternmost part of Jiangxi, and now I have also received news, and Fei Yinghuan has returned home.

 Text 171 [The whole family rebels against thieves?  】

    ?Guangxin Fucheng (Shangrao urban area).

    Fei Yinghuan returned to the inn and waited after handing over the card at the government office.

    He followed Bing Beidao to fight, wiped out the Taihu water bandits, and gave money when he made meritorious deeds, and finally got promoted again.  Today it is the prefecture of Funing, governing the five counties of Xiapu, Fu'an, Shouning, Fuding, and Ningde. It is a continent that is both poor and rich.

    Poverty is due to insufficient food production, and the people's lives are miserable.

    Wealth is due to rampant smuggling at sea, as long as you cooperate honestly with the gentry and pirates, there will definitely be money to be made.

    Fei Yinghuan happened to pass by his hometown when he went to Fujian to take up his post.  In fact, he had wanted to go home for a long time. He heard that there were rebels everywhere in Jiangxi, and even his hometown was fighting against bandits.

    When passing by Guangxinfu City, Fei Yinghuan came to visit the prefect specially, and wanted to ask the prefect to take care of Fei's family.

    At this very moment, Zhang Yinggao, the magistrate of Guangxin, was paying tribute to the ruins of Xin Qiji's Jiaxuan Manor.

    Hearing that the magistrate of Funing was visiting, and that he was a descendant of the Fei family, Zhang Yinggao immediately went back to the government office and sent someone to invite Fei Yinghuan to visit him the next day.

    Zhang Yinggao is from Northern Zhili and has nothing to do with the Donglin Party.  The younger brother of Li Ruolian, the general of Jiangxi who had just been demoted and transferred, was Zhang Yinggao's good friend, and both of them studied under Zhu Zhengse's school at the same time.

    Zhu Zhengse is also very interesting. He was supported by Zhang Juzheng, but when he was a magistrate, he strictly investigated Zhang Juzheng's brother for corruption and breaking the law.  The officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs were frightened and wanted to take Zhu Zhengse away, but Zhang Juzheng said that the investigation was good and let Zhu Zhengse stay there as an official.

    In fact, it was Zhang Juzheng who knew that his tribe was messing around, so he specially sent Zhu Zhengse to manage his hometown!

    Zhang Yinggao, the magistrate of Guangxin, why was he able to wipe out the Qianshan sect bandits so quickly?  His whole body ability is learned from Zhu Zhengse.  Zhu Zhengse governed the Yellow River, served as a border minister, and even innovated weapons and tactics.

    Today, Guangxin Mansion has 5,000 townspeople, whose combat effectiveness far exceeds that of the governor of Jiangxi.

    "Late student Fei Yinghuan, please meet Tan Rugong!" Fei Yinghuan's attitude is very respectful, after all, the other party is the parent official in his hometown.

    Zhang Yinggao smiled and said, "Dazhao doesn't need to be formal."

    Fei Yinghuan said: "The Qianshan Sect bandits were able to be wiped out quickly, all thanks to Dan Ru's public soldiers like gods."

    Zhang Yinggao said: "It's also thanks to Fei's help, otherwise how would I have the money and food to support soldiers and fight?"

    The two sides complimented each other, and the host and guest were in harmony immediately, and the atmosphere was in place all at once.

    After talking for a long time, Zhang Yinggao suddenly said: "Now, although the Qianshan sect bandit has been wiped out, the Nanfeng sect bandit is still there. The Zhao bandit in Luling even stole three prefectures and fifteen counties. The Xiangyong of Guangxin prefecture cannot  San, Dazhao still needs to persuade the elders of the Fei clan a lot about this matter."

    What kind of sweeping king, what Sai Lubu, these rebels are all regarded by the court as Zhao Han's followers.

    Therefore, in the eyes of the imperial court, the territory of the Zhao bandits in Luling already has three prefectures and fifteen counties.

    As for Zhang Yinggao, the prefect of Guangxin, the current situation is also very embarrassing. He wants to continue to train troops to fight across the government.  But the local gentry disagreed, because the Qianshan Cult bandit had already been wiped out, and the Guangxin Mansion had settled down, so why should they donate money and food to raise soldiers and go to other state capitals to fight against the rebels?

    Gentlemen are short-sighted and only stare at their own one-acre three-point land.

    Zhang Yinggao also said: "It is not a matter of one prefecture or one county to rebel against bandits. If Zhao bandits are allowed to grow, how can Guangxin Mansion be spared?"

    Fei Ying clasped her fists and said: "Don't worry, Tan Rugong, I will tell the elders in the clan to persuade them to support the military training of the Fu Zun."

    "Thank you so much." Zhang Yinggao said with a smile.

    Fei Yinghuan asked: "Isn't there only three counties in the Luling Zhao bandits? How come there are three prefectures and fifteen counties?"

    "Alas," Zhang Yinggao sighed, "in May of this year, the governor led an army of nearly 20,000 land and water troops to fight the Zhao bandit in Linjiang Mansion. The two sides faced each other for more than a month, and by mid-June, the army was defeated. Fifteen thousand  The land division was almost wiped out. Only half of the more than 2,000 naval divisions fled back to Nanchang."

    Fei Yinghuan was shocked and said: "The Luling Zhao thief is so good?"

    "If that wasn't the case, why would the imperial court allow Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian to encircle and suppress bandits together?" Zhang Yinggao said, "The guest soldiers from Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian are now suppressing bandits in southern Jiangxi. If the bandits from Zhao can't be put down quickly, the people of Jiangxi will have to wait for the guest soldiers from other provinces to enter in large numbers."  Lives are ruined."

    Fei Yinghuan finally paid attention to it, cupped his hands and said: "The younger generation will definitely persuade the elders of the Fei clan to contribute money and efforts to help pay. If the Zhao thief is not destroyed, how can Jiangxi be stable?"

    The two chatted more and more harmoniously, and Zhang Yinggao invited Fei Yinghuan to a banquet again.

    Although there is wine and meat, it is not extravagant, and Fei Yinghuan admires her honesty even more.

    ?In comparison, Fei Yinghuan is really a corrupt official who made a lot of money during his tenure.Take care of money and food.  Fei Yuanjian from Henglin is now the magistrate of the rebels.  Even Fei Yuanjian's book boy is Han Ge'er's secretary, equivalent to the court's Zhongshusheren.  "

    Fei Yinghuan was already numb to hearing, and said with a wry smile: "The Fei family really has a lot of talents."

    "My husband has to make a decision." Lou reminded.

    After serious thinking, Fei Yinghuan said, "I'll go to Ji'an Mansion to have a look first, how can I explain the specific situation clearly in the letter?"

    The husband and wife were reunited, and after a few days of being bored, the names of Mo Xiang's mother and son were settled, and Fei Yinghuan set off with Wei Jianxiong.

    The youngest son stayed at home, and Mo Xiang and a maid followed him to take care of him.

    Taking advantage of this time, Wei Jianxiong went to have a tryst with his old lover, and he had a very pleasant time.

    On board, in the cabin.

    Fei Yinghuan asked: "Jianxiong, do you think the imperial court can still be saved?"

    "I don't know," Wei Jianxiong said, "If the northwestern thieves can't be wiped out, the imperial court won't be able to get better."

    The people who bear the heaviest burden are not Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Jiangxi, but the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River!  According to Zhang Juzheng's statistics during the reform period, the land taxes in Nanzhili and Zhejiang together accounted for one-third of the country's land taxes.

    Of course, only in terms of the taxes that need to be paid per mu, Guizhou ranks first, Sichuan ranks second, Yunnan ranks third, and Nanzhili ranks fourth.

    South Zhili has been able to maintain stability purely due to the development of industry and commerce.

    As for Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, there have been constant uprisings.

    The reason why there are thieves in Shanxi and Shaanxi is purely due to the severe drought for several years in a row, and at the same time, the agricultural yield per mu is very low.

    Anyway, after staying in the south of the Yangtze River for a few years, Wei Jianxiong saw that the people were miserable.

    Fei Yinghuan walked out of the cabin, staring at the scenery on both sides of the river in a daze. He never dreamed of getting involved with the rebellion.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 172【What I have seen and heard】

    ,

    Nanchang added Chaoguan, which was established without the permission of the imperial court by the governor and chief secretary of Jiangxi.

    The name is of course to raise money to suppress bandits, but I don't know where the money is raised.

    Ding Kuichu stood on the tower of Nanchang City, patrolling the city defenses in a false appearance, but in fact he felt extremely miserable.  He is the newly-appointed Jiangxi Zuobu Political Envoy. It seems that he has been promoted to a higher level, but in fact he has been cut off from his fortune.

    This guy was originally the right servant of the Ministry of War. After Fu Zonglong, the governor of Jiliao, was dismissed, he was also in charge of acting for the governor of Jiliao.

    Acting Governor Ji Liao, what the hell is being thrown to Jiangxi to be the chief envoy?

    Although this position is a high-risk position, I accidentally followed Yuan Chonghuan away.  But high risk means high return, and the money is rolling in, and it can't be spent in ten lifetimes.

    Historically, how much money did Ding Kuichu make?

    After the Qing soldiers went south, this guy used the warships of the Nanming court to transport away more than 200,000 taels of gold and more than two million taels of silver.  Seventeen maids were also sent to serve the officers in charge of transporting silver day and night.  After Haikou was defeated, Qu Shiqi donated 5,000 taels to help recruit soldiers, and asked Ding Kuichu to donate some, but Ding Kuichu didn't give any money.

    In the end, he was caught by Li Chengdong, a general of the Qing army, and Ding Kuichu wanted to surrender.  But with so much money in his hand, how could Li Chengdong be willing to let him surrender?  The whole family was killed immediately, and the property disappeared.

    Ding Kui and the governor of Chu, Ji Liao, even dared to be greedy, but he was facing the Tartars directly. Jiangxi's rebels are nothing!

    On the eighth day after arriving in Nanchang, Ding Kuichu set up a banknote gate to collect customs duties from ships passing by.  Of course Li Maofang was willing to cooperate, and the two put aside their factional disputes and quickly hooked up together.

    As for Yang Jiamo, the chief soldier, he was completely ignored by them. What is a general, if he wants money, he will grab it himself.

    The passenger ship Fei Yinghuan was on was stuck two miles south of Nanchang City, and he was slowly queuing up to pay taxes and pass the customs.

    "Why do you have to charge so much tariffs? This business can't be done!"

    "Jiujiang will be conscripted once, and Nanchang will be conscripted again. After this time, I will not go to Ganzhou, and I will go to Hekou from now on."

    "I've seen eunuchs set cards, I've seen vassals set cards, I've been in business for 20 years, and this is the first time I've encountered governors and chief envoys set cards!"

    "The second master of my family is also an official in the court, and he must impeach these two bastards!"

    "These two stupid officials are not even as good as the rebels. The rebels in Linjiang Mansion and Ji'an Mansion don't set up cards, and only charge the berth tax at the dock."

    ""

    Fei Yinghuan stood on the deck, and there were discussions in his ears from time to time, and the businessmen were all blown up.

    It is outrageous that civil servants set up banknotes privately. Fei Yinghuan thinks he is not so bold.

    This tax money can be earned very quickly, some are thirty one, some twenty one, and some ten one.  There is an official banknote pass in Jiujiang, and now there is another banknote pass in Nanchang. Merchant ships coming in from the Yangtze River basically have no profit at all once they pass through the two banknote checkpoints.

    Even at a loss!

    Fei Yinghuan felt that Jiangxi was doomed. If Zhao Han could not be wiped out quickly, this way of doing things would make life difficult for the people.

    Really the people are living in dire straits, and Zhao Han also has a very headache.

    Jiangxi itself does not produce salt, Guangyan was cut off by the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and Huaiyan had to go through two bills.  Now the salt price in Linjiang Mansion and Ji'an Mansion has doubled compared to last year. This is due to the General Military Mansion subsidizing and ordering the salt merchants not to raise the price indiscriminately, otherwise the salt price may increase by three or five times.

    Zhao Han's finances are almost broken, and he is seeking to buy private salt from Huguang, and transport it through the territory of King Sweeping.

    After waiting for half a day, Fei Yinghuan finally passed.

    After a short walk, I saw hundreds of cavalry standing in a long line, stupidly standing on the river beach.

    Yang Jiamo, the general of Jiangxi Province, looked at the endless paddy fields and wanted to cry.  He brought hundreds of family members to the post, all armored cavalry, led the troops out today to familiarize themselves with the terrain, so they had to dismount and lead them all the way.

    Either paddy fields or mountains, let alone cavalry charges, it is impossible to even form an array.

    At the beginning, Li Maofang and Li Ruolian escaped on horseback. The distance was less than two hundred miles, but they rode for a full ten days.  At that time, the officers and generals who fled on horseback were caught by Zhao Han several times. The reason was very simple. Some horseshoes stepped into the paddy field and could not be pulled out, and some accidentally fell while galloping on the ridge of the field.

    "well!"

    Yang Jiamo plunged into the mud with a spear and felt that he was a tiger trapped in a cage, unable to use all his strength.  He would rather fight rogues in the north than come here to fight rebels, and most of his hundreds of family members are useless.

    Fei Yinghuan couldn't help laughing as he looked at the cavalrymen from a distance.

    Wei Jianxiong said: "Cavalry is still useful. When the battle is decisive, it is transported to the vicinity of the battlefield by boat. ???Is it the fourth child?  This time it's a shame.  "

    "Deng Jiu is here too. Hey, Deng Jiu, the hairpin you pawned last month hasn't been redeemed yet. What kind of jewelry have you pawned this time? If you continue to gamble, your mother-in-law will run away with you!"

    ""

    All the gamblers covered their faces, they didn't care about the pain anymore, they just wanted to finish the spanking and go home as soon as possible.

    Not only the gambling funds were confiscated, but even the money on the gamblers was seized and taken away by the soldiers.

    Then, these gamblers can get out.  Then the ones who were escorted out were all casino employees, all tied up and sent to the mountains to mine.

    A guy still dared to seek connections, and whispered flatteringly: "Mr. Li, my uncle works in the county government office. He cooperated with the distribution of land a while ago, and the government officials have personally praised him. Look, we are all our own people, sir.  The water flooded the Dragon King Temple. As long as Mr. Li releases me, the little one will be rewarded."

    "What's your uncle's name?" Li Zheng smiled.

    The man replied: "My uncle's name is Huang Zhi. He is a talented scholar and works as a clerk in the county government."

    Li Zhengxiao asked: "Does he have a share in this casino?"

    "Yes, there are several big families in the city," the man said, "The masters were still discussing a few days ago, and they said that they would give a filial silver to the government officials, the county officials, and Mr. Li every month.  "

    Li Zheng smiled even more happily: "Very good. Someone is here, go to contact Yuanzhi County and ask him to arrest Huang Zhi for interrogation!"

    The man was speechless for a moment, and looked at Li Zheng foolishly.

 Text 173 [Governor to vote?  ] (addition for the leader "Han Qiuzi")

    Ji'an, General Military Mansion.

    Wang Tingshi, the former governor of Denglai, held a copy of "The Collection of Datong" in his hand, and said to the gate guard: "Please inform Mr. Meng An that an old friend from Nanchang is visiting."

    ? Seeing that Wang Tingshi was not young and he was an old friend of Li Banghua, the guards did not dare to neglect him, and rushed in to report.

    Not long after, Wang Tingshi was invited in.

    Li Banghua didn't call out the other party's identity, but said in surprise: "It's really a good brother?"

    Wang Tingshi raised the "Datong Collection" in his hand, and said with a smile: "My foolish brother got this book in Nanchang. After reading it, he slept long and sleepy. He knew that there is a real dragon master in the world, so he came here to join him."

    "Brother, please wait a moment, brother Yu will immediately introduce you to the general town." Li Banghua said.

    Wang Tingshi cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Brother Meng An."

    Li Banghua walked towards Zhao Han's office. After obtaining permission, he went in and said, "General Town, the former Denglai governor Wang Tingshi has come, and he still has a copy of "Da Tong Ji" in his hand, saying that he is here to serve."

    Zhao Han didn't have any surprises, but smiled and said: "The governor is a high-ranking member of the court, and he actually took the initiative to follow the thief?"

    Li Banghua said: "This guy has been dismissed for several years, and he lives in Nanchang, and his clan has no high-ranking officials. He probably wants to gamble that the Ming court is hopeless, and that the general town can take over the world. Even if the general town can't take over the world,  As long as they can occupy Jiangxi, the Nanchang Wang family is betting right."

    "How is this person?" Zhao Han asked.

    Li Banghua said: "He must be talented, and he has a good understanding of military strategy. But, he is a little greedy, humble and obsequious."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Orange is born in Huainan, so don't be harsh. Since he is a charming person, he knows how to read my words, and he knows how to read my mind. I don't allow corruption. If he is really smart, he will know how to do things. Then say that  The chief assistant is warm and benevolent, he is not greedy for money, and he is extremely capable. If this person is under my command, he will be a worthy and good minister in the world. There is such a king as there is such a minister."

    "The town employs people with great tolerance." Li Banghua was very happy. He felt that Zhao Han was more qualified, and he already had a heart that embraced all rivers.

    Not long after, Wang Tingshi was invited in.

    Seeing Zhao Han for the first time, Wang Tingshi was quite surprised. He didn't expect Zhao Han to be so young. He thought Luling Zhao thief was thirty or forty years old.

    In fact, no one knows Zhao Han's real age except the little friends from Qianshan.

    Including Li Banghua, everyone thought that Zhao Han was at least twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but he was just a little tender-looking.

    "Nanchang Wang Tingshi, meet the general town!" Wang Tingshi was slightly taken aback, and immediately returned to his normal expression.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Sir, please sit down."

    Wang Tingshi held "The Collection of Datong" in his hands and praised: "I was in Nanchang, and I found this book by chance. It's like drinking ice in summer, and I feel refreshed. The one who saves the world must be Zongzhen!"

    Well, a sycophant.

    Zhao Han laughed loudly: "So that's the case, Mr. and I are bosom friends."

    Wang Tingshi began to scold the emperor again: "Chongzhen's children are self-willed and not like a king. Let's say that in the case of Liaodong, the civil servants made mistakes, and the generals made mistakes. The one who made the most mistakes is Chongzhen himself!"

    Li Banghua frowned, and hated Wang Tingshi's character very much. Even if you go to the new master, you don't need to slander the old master.

    "May I ask you, how did Chongzhen go wrong?" Zhao Han said.

    Wang Ting tried to ask: "Does the general town know about Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong?"

    "I know." Zhao Han nodded.

    Wang Tingshi sighed: "At that time, I was the governor of Denglai in my lower body, and I happened to be caught between them. I participated in the whole process of their deaths, and I was dismissed in the end."

    Zhao Han was completely confused about the entanglement between Yuan Chonghuan and Mao Wenlong.  Li Banghua was in charge of the river at that time, and he had no personal experience.

    Zhao Han said: "I still have to ask Mr. what happened."

    Wang Tingshi said: "The cause of the incident was in February of the first year of Chongzhen, when the emperor was investigating the eunuchs. Yushi Pan Shiwen, in order to please the new emperor, impeached Mao Wenlong for being attached to the eunuchs and sworn brothers with four eunuchs.  Impeach the eunuch who swore to Mao Wenlong, secretly hang a portrait of Wei Zhongxian wearing a dragon robe and a crown, and burn incense day and night to pay homage."

    "Does Chongzhen believe it?" Zhao Han asked curiously.

    Wang Tingshi said: "Even if this theory of unbelief or unbelief is true, it should be let go. How can Mao Wenlong guard an important place so easily?"

    Zhao Han asked again: "What happened next?"

    Wang Tingshi said: "All the prudent ministers in the court advised that this matter should not be pursued. Chongzhen was able to listen to his advice at that time. But only after March, Sun Guozhen, the governor of Denglai, impeached Mao Wenlong for collusion.Nanchang Wang's treatment.

    Zhao Han said: "The land administration cannot be changed, and each person can only keep 20 mu of land. However, I will definitely compensate you for the consumption of military training. Once the matter is completed, you can directly come to the General Military Mansion to be an official, and you don't have to come from below."  Let’s start. Moreover, if Mrs. Wang is willing to do business, I will give certain preferential treatment.”

    "Willing to work for the general town." Wang Tingshi cupped his hands.

    Before coming to see Zhao Han, Wang Tingshi had inspected Linjiang Mansion, and compared the administration of Nanchang Mansion, he felt that Zhao Han would definitely win Jiangxi.

    At that time, the Wang family will definitely not be able to escape from the extra land, so it is better to come and seek refuge as soon as possible.

    In order not to attract attention, Wang Tingshi left the General Military Mansion alone, Zhao Han and Li Banghua did not see him off.

    Wang Ting tried to step out of the gate, and he suddenly felt open-minded. He finally had another chance to be an official. The last time he was dismissed from office was really depressing.

    Since he has been a member of the imperial court, who wants to be just a rich man?

    Wang Tingshi walked past a "rich businessman" and only heard the "rich businessman" say: "Please inform Zhao Zongzhen that Zhao Han from Qianshan is visiting."

    All surnamed Zhao, could it be Zhao Yan's tribe?

    Wang Tingshi couldn't help but turned around and took a second look. Fei Yinghuan smiled and cupped his hands, and Wang Tingshi hurriedly returned the salute.

    A governor who was dismissed from office, and a magistrate who was about to take office, just bowed to each other inexplicably like this.

 Body 174 [Old Zhangren]

    "Headquarters, there is someone who calls himself Qianshan Zhao Han and asks to see him."

    "Um?"

    Zhao Han raised his head with a strange expression, and then smiled again: "Please come in."

    Fei Yu works outside, and he is one of the three secretaries.  Not long after, seeing Fei Yinghuan and Wei Jianxiong being brought in, he almost cried out in surprise, but immediately buried himself in the official documents.

    Without squinting around, Fei Ying was led into the house, cupped his hands and said, "Qianshan Zhao Han, meet Zhao Zongzhen!"

    Zhao Han was a little surprised that the father-in-law came. He got up quickly and said, "Uncle, please sit down."

    Wei Jianxiong retreated outside the house and closed the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

    "Brother Han has done a great job." Fei Yinghuan teased with a smile, seeming to be sarcastic, but also complaining, with a touch of exclamation.

    Zhao Han had a thick skin, and said, "Master Taishan has praised you absurdly."

    "I've seen some of your policies, so I won't ask any more," Fei Yinghuan went straight to the point, "I just ask you, when can you take Jiangxi?"

    Zhao Han said: "Nanchang Mansion will be taken next year."

    "I heard that there are Fujian and Guangdong troops in the south. I thought you would go to Ganzhou first," Fei Yinghuan was a little disappointed. "If you take Nanchang first, I'm afraid the imperial court will send more soldiers to encircle and suppress."

    Zhao Han explained: "I discussed with several gentlemen, and my original intention was to take Ganzhou first, but Nanchang was too deceptive. Its private Nanchang banknote customs taxed more than eunuchs, which greatly affected the people under my rule.  Business and people's livelihood. If they kill themselves, let them be fulfilled!"

    Fei Yinghuan asked again: "How sure are you of winning Nanchang?"

    "Very sure." Zhao Han replied.

    "So confident?" Fei Yinghuan asked.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "If it wasn't for consolidating the territory, I would be able to occupy half of Jiangxi this year."

    Fei Yinghuan stopped asking questions, he said: "I want to go south to Funing to be the prefect, how can I help you?"

    "Funing is in Fujian?" Zhao Han was not sure.

    Fei Yinghuan said: "On the coast of Fujian."

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "If Master Taishan is willing to help, you can make friends with Zheng Zhilong for me."

    "Okay, I understand." Fei Yinghuan nodded.

    "well!"

    Fei Yinghuan suddenly sighed with emotion: "When I brought your brother and sister back to Jiangxi, how did I expect this situation?"

    Zhao Han said: "Even if you don't come to Jiangxi, my son-in-law will find a place to rebel."

    "You like to rebel so much?" Fei Yinghuan asked.

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "It's not that I like to rebel, but that Daming is hopeless."

    Fei Yinghuan smiled and asked, "Do you know that many of the courtiers have the idea of ??preferring the south?"

    "I don't know." Zhao Han said.

    Fei Yinghuan explained: "This kind of idea was first proposed by the folk scholars, and gradually spread to the court. It is believed that the southern provinces are the land of wealth in the world. Instead of harvesting money and food, the northern provinces have to continue to pay for it.  Fighting wars. Let’s just leave the north and move the capital to Nanjing to rectify the government, get rid of the evils, and then go north.”

    "It's a beautiful idea. After the Pianan, how can anyone be willing to go north? Is this the idea of ??the southern scholars?" Zhao Han sneered.

    "Indeed," Fei Yinghuan nodded and said, "Although it's widely circulated, it's all private discussions, and no one dares to say it openly. Now, you're making trouble here in Jiangxi, and there are fewer and fewer people who may be trying to favor peace.  gone."

    Suddenly, Zhao Han asked: "Master Taishan, why don't you go to the inner house to rest for a while and call Rulan and Ruhe to talk."

    "No need," Fei Yinghuan raised his hand and said, "There are so many people, I don't see them as well. I'll leave when I finish talking with you. Zhang Yinggao, the prefect of Guangxin, is a man who knows how to govern the people and fight wars. He has already trained five thousand  Xiangyong, you'd better be careful."

    "Thank you, Lord Taishan, for reminding me," Zhao Han said with a smile, "No matter how elite the bravery is, their combat effectiveness will drop exponentially after leaving their hometown, because they don't know why they fight."

    "Okay, that's all for now, I'm leaving first." Fei Yinghuan got up and said.

    Really, he left as soon as he said, without seeing his son and daughter, and he had to rush to Fujian to take up his post.

    Fei Yinghuan quickly came to Ganzhou by boat, and went southeast along the Gongshui River, where Huichang County had been recovered by officers and soldiers.

    Halfway through the journey, I suddenly saw a large number of ships coming from the opposite side.  It was the army of Zou Weilian, the governor of Fujian. The ships were used to transport the baggage, and about ten thousand soldiers (including civilian husbands) walked along the river bank.

    Fei Yinghuan arrived in Huichang County without being stopped for search.

    When I inquired at the pier, it turned out that the Ruijin rebels had been wiped out.The ships passing by the Ji'an Mansion will be forcibly sold a book of anti-thieves, brother Dehui, please read it.  "

    Zou Weilian opened the book and read it carefully. He was angry at first, and then terrified.

    Many of the articles written by these rebels have the same ideas as Zou Weilian himself.

    Except for the rebellious remarks in it, Zou Weilian liked this book very much, and even felt a little bit like seeing each other later.

    Fei Yinghuan suddenly asked: "Brother Dehui has how many soldiers, do you have the confidence to defeat that Luling Zhao bandit?"

    "How can there be any confidence?" Zou Weilian sighed, "I heard that Zhao bandit defeated two governors successively, and now he must be stronger. Although I have more than 10,000 soldiers, there are only three or four thousand soldiers who can fight.  The ones I rely on are only a thousand or so blunderbuss soldiers, and those ten or so Franc cannons."

    Fei Yinghuan asked again: "Brother Dehui, why didn't he march in quickly and kill that bandit Zhao by surprise?"

    Zou Weilian shook his head again and again: "I suppressed the bandits in the south of Jiangxi, and won successive victories. My subordinates are all arrogant soldiers. I stopped them again and forbade them from looting in Jiangxi. The generals under my command have become disobedient. This move  Ganzhou, firstly to raise money and food, secondly to recuperate the troops, and thirdly to enforce military discipline! If the military discipline is not strict, I will definitely not dare to go north to suppress the bandits."

    "Brother is a man who knows how to fight." Fei Yinghuan admired.

    For the next few days, Fei Yinghuan was not in a hurry to leave, so he went to Ganzhou to help Zou Weilian, and by the way, to investigate the actual situation in his army.

    Wei Jianxiong quietly went north and sent a letter to Zhao Han.

    Even the name of Lieutenant General Zou Weilian's army was written clearly in the letter, not to mention how many firecrackers and artillery there were.

    (About Yuan Chonghuan, the discussion was more intense. I can only say that the content of the previous chapter, except for the time of Wang Tingshi’s dismissal, which I got wrong by two months, is all recorded in history books. Yuan Chonghuan will definitely do it  A lot of shit, but in the attitude towards Mao Wenlong, first he was helpful, then helpless, and finally angry. There is too much content, I will write it in the author's words next.) &lt;/div&gt

 Body 175【Plunder】

    General Military Mansion.

    Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai, and Li Banghua held a three-person meeting.

    Zhao Han sent the secret letter sent by Fei Yinghuan, Li Banghua said: "The Ruijin volunteer army is gone, only a few hundred people are left, and they fled into the mountains at the junction of Fujian and Jiangxi. Shen Youlong, the governor of Fujian, led more than 16,000 people  , has moved to Ganzhou."

    Pang Chunlai's eyes were not good, so Li Banghua directly read the contents of the secret letter.

    As he read it, Li Banghua was startled, because the letter was written in too much detail.  Not only the number of firearms of the officers and soldiers, but also some generals who harbor resentment and have been punished by the governor themselves or their cronies.

    The letter also stated that Zou Weilian is raising food and grass, and after the spring of next year, he will definitely attack Wan'an, Longquan, and Taihe counties.  After capturing these three counties, they will confront Zhao Han again and join forces with the governor of Jiangxi to attack from north to south.

    The letter also said that Guangdong and Guangxi were fighting everywhere, and the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi were temporarily unable to enter Jiangxi, so they should take the opportunity to defeat the officers and soldiers along the way.  Otherwise, the combined strength of officers and soldiers from the three provinces will reach 50,000.

    Li Banghua was surprised and said: "Zongzhen, who wrote this?"

    Zhao Han smiled mysteriously: "Among the enemy army, there is a senior official who is my internal response. At this time, don't spread it to the outside world, so as not to leak the information of the internal response."

    "It's natural." Li Banghua didn't ask further.

    Pang Chunlai said: "It's time to make a decision, whether to send troops next year or send troops now. Should we go north first or go south first. No matter what we choose, our army must go first, otherwise we will be in danger of being attacked by the north and the south.  "

    Zhao Han said: "It's not just a pincer between the north and the south, Zhang Yinggao, the magistrate of Guangxin, has already trained five thousand heroes. As long as Li Maofang is not stupid, he will send Guangxin soldiers across the government to conquer the Fuzhou bandits and destroy the secret sect bandits in Nanfeng County. This  The time should also be in the spring of next year. Once the Fuzhou religious bandits are wiped out, Zhang Yinggao can come from Fuzhou and go straight to Jishui County from the east."

    "Alas, by that time, there will be a pincer attack from the south, north, and east, and the total strength of the official army will be around 40,000." Li Banghua sighed.

    Pang Chunlai suggested: "I think we should advance both by land and water, and attack the Fujian guest soldiers in Ganzhou first."

    Li Banghua agreed and said: "Yes, first fight the Fujian guest soldiers. The secret letter that should be sent here says that the Fujian generals have no intention of fighting. Let's spread rumors first, saying that Zou Weilian plans to withdraw in order to protect the people of Jiangxi and is afraid that the army's morale will be unstable.  All the military officers from Fujian. And" Li Banghua suddenly had a darkened expression, "invited Zou Weilian's mother and clansmen to Ji'an, and sent fake letters to Ganzhou, saying that the Zou clan was against each other. Chen Ting, the general soldier of Fujian  Yes, we must be divorced from General Zou Weilian!"

    Chen Tingdui, Fujian General Soldier, was born as a champion of martial arts. He was actually awarded Guangdong Deputy General Soldier by Chongzhen, and then promoted to Fujian General Soldier.

    This person is a loyal loyalist of Chongzhen. If he heard that the Zou clan was a thief, and Zou Weilian suppressed the generals in Fujian, he might do something outrageous.

    "Okay, first invite Zou Weilian's people!" Zhao Han expressed his satisfaction with this strategy.

    Chongzhen eight years, November.

    Jiang Liang led five hundred soldiers, set off from Xinyu County swaggeringly, and arrived in Shanggao County in three days.

    Shang Gaozhi County was shocked, he had already recruited more than a thousand soldiers, at this time he did not dare to go out to kill the enemy, he only dared to lead troops to defend the city, and sent people to Nanchang to report.

    However, Jiang Liang grabbed a boat at the county pier, crossed the river by boat, and went straight to Xinchang County (Yifeng).

    Shang Kochi County was confused, thinking that the rebels were pretending to leave, but in fact they wanted to kill the carbine, so they simply blocked all the gates of the city.

    Jiang Liang abandoned the boat after crossing the river, "borrowed grain" from the landlord along the way, and swaggered to Xinchang County.

    There are only a few hundred township warriors stationed in Xinchang County, and the county magistrate was also scared to pee his pants, thinking that Shanggao County next door has been occupied by rebels.  But seeing Jiang Liang leading troops into the mountains, this move was even more puzzling, and the county magistrate of Xinchang was completely confused.

    Alas, the governor of Fujian, Zou Weilian, has a real hard background, and his hometown is actually in the middle of the mountains.

    Although there is a relatively flat road out of the mountain, it is a full forty miles away from the county seat.  When Zou Weilian was young, orphans and widowed mothers cut firewood for a living, and it cost eighty li to go to the city to sell firewood.

    It is estimated that the late father left behind mules or something, otherwise the mother and son would have starved to death if they had only relied on manpower to transport firewood.

    When he came to Longgang Village and asked about Zou Weilian's residence, Jiang Liang immediately rushed with his troops.

    In fact, the target is easy to find. The Zou family has a tall Jinshi memorial archway, and the house is relatively well-built.  The orphans and widows who used to be poor have now built a big house, Zou's mother has maids to take care of her, and several grandchildren are celebrating at her knees.

    "Madam, come with us." Jiang Liang smiled.

    Zou's mother is not afraid in the face of danger,In front of Jiamo: "Mr. Yang, these bandits are powerful, it's better to return to Nanchang as soon as possible."

    Yang Jiamo pointed to the distance and said with a disdainful smile: "That counts as soldiers? It's just a group of farmers. Call your people back, and all the goods and goods will have to be moved to the boat. Let's see how I break the thief!"

    ? Yang Jiamo's hundreds of family members are all elites who have been fighting bandits for several years.

    Although the horses were not brought, they all wore iron armor.

    The inside is chain mail, and the outside is cotton armor embedded with iron wire and iron sheets. It is not afraid of being hacked by knives and swords, and can even resist bows and arrows.

    But what they are facing at this moment is the farmers and soldiers in the nearby villages and towns.

    This is Zhao Han's newly occupied territory. The peasants and soldiers have only been trained for two months. Many of them don't have all their weapons and are still fighting with kitchen knives and bamboo spears.

    In several villages in a radius, the peasants and soldiers all gathered.

    Hu Dinggui, who is only fifteen years old, now belongs to the Chief of the Farmers and Soldiers. He is holding an officer-style spear that he picked up in his hand.

    "stop!"

    The temporary commander of these farmers and soldiers was a soldier who was assigned to the village for training.  He sent an order: "Don't rush forward and hold back the enemy, Mr. Gu Qian and Mr. Li will be coming by boat soon!" &lt;/div&gt

 Text 176 [Desperate Charge] (addition for the leader "half a catty" and "eight taels")

    ,

    Seeing the rebels stopped far away, Yang Jiamo sneered, and suddenly took down his bow and arrow to aim.

    With an arrow shot out, a rebel fell down.

    "good!"

    "The general shoots!"

    The officers and soldiers cheered one after another, but it was the anti-thief leader who stood at the front and was shot in the shoulder.

    Yang Jiamo's super-long-distance shot made several peasants and soldiers turn around and run away in fright. After all, they had only trained for two months.

    The soldier who was shot was called Xiao Zongxian, who came from a wealthy family in Luling, but he had been down and out for several generations.  He joined the army as a vagrant in Ji'an Fucheng. Like Zhang Tieniu, he belonged to the dock coolies.

    "Stand back, don't run away!"

    Xiao Zongxian shouted loudly, reluctantly climbed up, was supported by the mission officer and retreated.

    "Chasing and killing the rebels!"

    Yang Jiamo is very experienced in this. This kind of garbage rebel will be defeated after chasing it.

    Hundreds of armored officers and soldiers rushed out with weapons in hand, while the guards continued to come back to carry the goods.

    It's just that neither the chasing side nor the fleeing side can form an array, and they all step on the narrow ridges between the paddy fields.

    The scene was very magical. There were three field ridges in total, and the two sides lined up in six long dragons running.

    The peasants and soldiers really collapsed, inexplicably.

    At first, they followed the order and retreated, and then they saw that the people next to them were fleeing, so everyone only knew to run away.  Some people thought that the ridge was blocked, so they took off their shoes, stepped on the paddy field with bare feet, and ran diagonally to another ridge.

    Xiao Zongxian retreated in pain, while shouting: "Don't run around, don't run away!"

    These are peasants and soldiers from several nearby villages. There are more than 600 people in total. Today is the first time they have gathered together, and they usually train in units of villages.

    Xiao Zongxian's military order was ignored, not to mention taking off his shoes and running, some people even threw away their weapons.

    Especially the wolf's whisk, that thing is in the way, which is very unfavorable for escaping.

    "Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

    After chasing for a while, Yang Jiamo ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.  Because there is no way to chase him, his servants are all wearing iron armor. How can he chase the peasants who are lightly dressed?

    Alas, it would be nice if this was in the north, where the rebels could be wiped out on horseback.

    Although Hu Dinggui was also running away, he turned his head from time to time to observe the enemy's situation.  Seeing that the officers and soldiers stopped chasing, he immediately shouted: "The officers and soldiers are not chasing, stop now!"

    "Whoa, whoa!"

    The missionary officer blew the bamboo whistle. Since the suona was not enough, bamboo whistles were used for military training in the village.

    After two months of training, the peasants and soldiers had formed conditioned reflexes. When they heard the sound of bamboo whistles, they stopped, and many people began to run back to gather again.

    Xiao Zongxian ordered to count the number of people, and found that there were more than 30 people missing, who knows where they went.

    "Kill back, listen to my orders, and stop running around!"

    Xiao Zongxian reluctantly pulled out the arrow. Due to the very long distance, the arrow did not penetrate deep into the flesh, but the barb still brought out a pinch of flesh and blood.

    "Chief Town, those traitors are back."

    Yang Jiamo glanced back and said with a sneer: "Don't worry about it, get all the rest of the goods onto the boat, the rebel reinforcements may be coming soon."

    "Woo, woo, woo!"

    Another burst of bamboo whistles came from the south, but the peasants and soldiers from the neighboring town came to support them. However, due to the rush of time, this group of peasants and soldiers only gathered more than a hundred people.

    The mission officer beside Xiao Zongxian suddenly raised the peasant and soldier flag, embroidered with a hoe more than the military flag of the Zhengbing.

    "The world is one!" The mission officer waved the flag and shouted.

    "Under Heaven!"

    The peasants and soldiers shouted.

    The mission officer shouted again: "Farm and eat!"

    "Farm and eat!"

    The peasants and soldiers who came to the rescue from the neighboring towns also unfurled their flags.

    "Under Heaven!"

    "Farm and eat!"

    The peasants and soldiers began to line up, and many of them stepped into the paddy fields, advancing slowly with one foot shallow and the other deep.

    Those peasants and soldiers supporting from the south trotted over to meet up.

    Not long after, the two groups of peasants and soldiers gathered together, and their strength increased to more than 700.

    Regardless of Yang Jiamo's disregard, he gradually withdrew his troops to the river to cover the boarding of the guard soldiers carrying the goods.

    In other words, it can't be called a cover, but to help them hold the line.

    These guard soldiers are too weak, and they are beaten out of the shadows. They are afraid when they see the rebels, and want to run away when they hear the rebels' slogans.

    "Accelerate the pursuit, don't let the dog officer run away, that's our food!"

    &nbspThe muddy water in the field advances.  Six of his ten-man team had already run, and the rest followed suit.

    The mission officer had a painful expression on his face, and he clutched his chest and shouted: "All in the world, let's farm and eat! Don't let the dog officials steal our fields! Kill the thieves quickly! Killcough cough cough"

    Coughing repeatedly, vomiting blood and falling to the ground.

    "Mr. Yang is dead, Mr. Yang is dead!"

    The peasants and soldiers shouted, and many people were running away. They turned and looked back when they heard this.

    "Mr. Yang is dead! Wow~~~~"

    Some farmers and soldiers even cried bitterly on the spot.

    Xiao Zongxian was furious when he saw it, and shouted: "Avenge Mr. Yang, kill me!"

    There were more than 700 peasants and soldiers in total, only more than 300 remained, and the rest all fled.

    But those who have not fled, are rushing forward at the moment.  Holding simple weapons, they attacked officers and soldiers who outnumbered them, had superior weapons, and were dressed in armor.

    "They're all crazy!"

    Yang Jiamo looked horrified and ordered to continue the salvo.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    This time, nearly a hundred people were hit by arrows, some fell to the ground directly, and some rushed forward with arrows stuck in their bodies.

    "Quick retreat!"

    Yang Jiamo can already see the warships of the rebels. This place is too close to Linjiang Mansion, and the main force of the rebels' navy is stationed there.

    If he didn't run away, it would be too late. The rebels in front of him had wasted too much of his time!

    Yang Jiamo still can't figure out why he would encounter large groups of rebel soldiers when he randomly robbed villages.  Could it be that there are bandit soldiers stationed in every village and town?

    Being delayed until now, it is not in Yang Jiamo's plan at all.

    ? After receiving the order to retreat, hundreds of family members turned and ran, and they could only run along the ridge.  Because the clothes on my body were too heavy, I couldn't run when I stepped into the paddy field.

    While running, some officers and soldiers turned their heads and shot arrows. Their bows shoot very fast.

    More than a dozen farmers and soldiers were hit by arrows one after another, and Hu Dinggui rushed to the forefront. There were only two people left in his ten-man team, and he only had three.  However, the slowest runner was only ten steps away from him.

    Suddenly, Hu Dinggui jumped onto the field ridge, his speed suddenly increased, and he rushed up barefoot with a gun.

    The field ridge is too narrow for only one person to pass.

    Hu Dinggui shot the officer and soldier in the back, but he couldn't get in because there was chain mail inside the padded armor.

    These side generals, after collecting money, the first priority is to arm the servants, and each servant has spent a lot of money.

    The officer drew his saber and turned around to slash. Hu Dinggui abandoned his spear, slammed forward and rolled into the field together with the officer.  He pulled out the long arrow from the officer's and soldier's quiver, stabbed it towards the eye socket of the opponent, quickly pulled it out and stabbed again, and the last arrow pierced the throat.

    When Hu Dinggui stood up, he found that one of his soldiers had been hacked to death, and the other was wrestling with the officers and soldiers in the field.

    Hu Dinggui picked up his spear, rushed over and stabbed the enemy's throat.

    Xiao Zongxian also rushed over, the peasants and soldiers could jump into the fields to surround and kill them, but the officers and soldiers could only fight alone on the ridges of the fields.

    Several officers and soldiers also jumped into the paddy fields, their boots sank into the muddy water, and it was very difficult to move every time, and they almost became living targets for the peasants and soldiers to besiege and kill.

    One after another, these farmers and soldiers who had only been trained for two months killed more than 40 servants in total.  The price they paid was that more than 160 people were killed and injured, more than 20 of them were killed on the spot, and some were fatally injured and temporarily died.

    Hu Dinggui's eyes were red, half angry, half sad.

    He took the only remaining man and frantically chased towards the river, only to see that all the officers and soldiers had already boarded the boat.

    "Fast sail, fast sail!"

    Yang Jiamo shouted in panic, the warship of the rebels was getting closer and closer.

    Yang Jiamo seems to have forgotten that the few boats he took carried the goods for two hours!

    It wasn't just the soldiers of the guard who were carrying them, they also robbed some mules and cattle. The cattle could carry two or three stones of grain in one trip.

    The ship is loaded with too much cargo and cannot run fast at all.

 Body 177 [Capture]

    ,

    Fei Yinggong also came. He now commands 500 troops, all of whom are archers. They are temporarily incorporated into the navy and trained together.

    This time Gu Jianshan came to reinforce, did not use the big ship of 400 materials, but all small and medium warships of 50 materials, 100 materials, and 200 materials.

    Run faster!

    The fleet didn't open its sails, and came against the wind and the water, approaching at a speed visible to the naked eye.

    "Dock ahead, dock ahead!"

    Yang Jiamo yelled in horror, he knew he would be overtaken and he must not be surrounded on the water.

    Half a mile away from Fengcheng County, the ships of the officers and soldiers went ashore ahead of time, trying to escape diagonally to the south gate instead of the west gate by the pier.

    "Go away!"

    The soldiers of the guard wanted to disembark first, but they were all pushed away by the servants.  Pushing and pushing, the servants suddenly raised their butcher knives and began to chop at the guard soldiers blocking the way, killing the guard soldiers to the point of collapse in an instant.

    Hundreds of family members quickly landed on the shore, leaving all the looted goods, and rushed towards the county seat surrounded by Yang Jiamo.

    Gu Jianshan ignored these official ships and guard soldiers, and led the navy straight to Fengcheng County Wharf.

    Li Zheng, Huang Shun, Huang Yao, Jiang Dashan, and Fei Yinggong each took 500 people off the boat quickly, and set up a formation to capture the county seat.

    Yang Jiamo had already taken his family members and ran to the south gate, angrily angrily said in person: "Open the city gate quickly, I am Yang Jiamo, the general soldier, open the city gate quickly!"

    The incident happened suddenly, and the magistrate of Fengcheng was still on his way, but the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding the city closed the city gate.

    Yang Jiamo was so angry that he could only lead his troops to run around the city and quickly moved to the east of the city.

    At the same time, Yang Jiamo sent forty servants to cut off the heir.

    Although the number of people is small, they are all soldiers, enough to block the streets and buy precious time for the main force to enter the city.

    However, after the fart!

    Seeing two or three thousand rebels coming, the servant who was in charge of cutting off the rear immediately ran away.

    Xie Longwen, the county magistrate, finally boarded the tower, and ran along the city wall with Yang Jiamo, shouting as he ran: "Long basket, basket, hang Zongzhen Yang up!"

    Xie Longwen in history is also considered a famous name in history, but there is only one line of words.  The general idea is: Fengcheng suffered a famine, the county magistrate failed to provide relief, was severely injured by the angry people, died after resigning from office and returning to his hometown.

    Yang Jiamo also yelled while running: "Open the city gate quickly, my family can hold it!"

    Hundreds of armored elites will definitely not flee after entering the city, and most of them will be able to hold the city gate.

    But Xie Longwen didn't dare to gamble, he shouted: "Mr. Yang, get into the basket quickly, and we'll talk about it after pulling you up."

    Yang Jiamo's lungs were about to explode: "Go to the city, you fucking, the rebels are about to catch up!"

    Xie Longwen shouted: "The rebels have already caught up. If I open the city gate, the rebels will definitely take the opportunity to enter. That's how the last magistrate of Fengcheng died for his country!"

    "Can it be the same? Laozi's servants are elite!" Yang Jiamo stomped his feet anxiously.

    Xie Longwen didn't speak any more, what he was thinking was: If your soldiers are elite, can they be chased back by the rebels all the way?

    Facing the lowered baskets, Yang Jiamo did not choose to run for his life, but turned around and led his servants to fight.

    These hundreds of family members are Yang Jiamo's lifeblood!

    If he had to choose between his son and servants, he would hack his son to death without hesitation and choose to keep these hundreds of servants.  Once the family is gone, his future is gone, and he can only be slaughtered by mermaids in the future.

    This is the streets and alleys outside the city. Li Zheng led five hundred soldiers, and after chasing them, he quickly marched in formation.

    Huang Yao and Jiang Dashan led people around another street, trying to surround these frontier soldiers.

    Fei Yinggong and Huang Shun each led five hundred archers and prepared to shoot after forming an array.

    They hold infantry hard bows and ordinary arrows. Compared with Jia Ding's soft bows and long arrows, although the rate of fire is slower and the accuracy is lower, the range is longer and the power is greater!

    Huang Shun wanted to move on, but was stopped by Fei Yinggong, who was stuck in the range of his bow and arrow.

    I can cum on you, you can't cum on me.

    "Draw the bow and let it go!"

    One thousand archers are divided into two rounds to shoot.

    The guards crossed their arms to block their faces and necks, just like that to withstand long-range attacks.  It seemed that they were shot like hedgehogs, but only two unlucky guys fell down, and all the rest were fine.

    The cotton armor embedded with iron sheets and wires is not afraid of bows and arrows at all, let alone wearing chain mail inside.

    "Shoot it back!"

    At Yang Jiamo's order, hundreds of family members even resisted the rain of arrows and began to fight back with their bows and arrows.

    &?Just wobbly and stuck in the face.

    Yang Jiamo turned around and aimed at Huang Yao on the other side. He shot a lot in the streets, but it was very easy to aim at the target in the city.  Huang Yao subconsciously raised his arm to block the arrow, and was shot in the left arm by an arrow, and quickly hid behind the wooden shield.

    This product is really a sharp shot!

    Fei Yinggong stepped forward a few steps, mixed with the spearmen, and quickly returned an arrow.

    The shot was hit, but unfortunately it got stuck on the cotton armor, making it difficult to cause damage to Yang Jiamo.

    Xie Longwen felt that it was effective, and asked: "Why doesn't the general continue to shoot?"

    Yang Jiamo didn't bother to answer, he just stepped back and said, "Think about how to defend the city!"

    Xie Longwen was silent, full of resentment in his heart, if Yang Jiamo hadn't robbed the rebels' territory, how could these rebels come to besiege the city?

    The servants outside the city were ordered to take off their armor and weapons, and then they were escorted outside the moat and tied up.

    Hundreds of sets of iron armor and cotton armor!

    This kind of chain armor, to be precise, is a chain armor. It is called "steel wire chain armor" in "Wu Bei Zhi", and it is called "chain mail" in North Korea and the Qing Dynasty.

    As early as the mid-Ming Dynasty, there was already wrought iron wire drawing technology.

    Fei Yinggong looked at the armor all over the floor, and instantly became jealous, and wanted to go back and ask Zhao Han for a pair.

    On the banks of the Ganjiang River, the navy of Gujianshan did not fight seriously at all.

    After he unloaded the soldiers at the pier, he turned around and surrounded the officers and soldiers ships.  After the siege, it was found that not only the guards on the ship had run away, but even the boatmen had been oiled, leaving only three empty boats by the river.

    It's not considered an empty boat, most of the money and food that was full were snatched from the gentry's house!

    Soon, Gu Jianshan received the news, and he immediately dispatched sailors to carry the captured armor and weapons outside the city.

    Surround Fengcheng County

 Body 178【Encircling Wei and Rescuing Zhao】

    There were originally hundreds of guard soldiers brought by Yang Jiamo to plunder, but most of them fled back to their hometown in the chaos.

    There were only dozens of people, who themselves belonged to Nanchang Wei, and ran back to report letters one after another.

    There were seven people who went back in the first batch, and they ran for their lives from the middle of the afternoon that day until late at night.  On the way, they were tired and hungry, killed and expelled the people in the dark, ate something and lay down on the bed to rest.

    By the evening of the next day, the city gates of Nanchang were almost closed, and the seven people finally rushed back to Nanchangwei.

    In fact, there was a merchant ship from Fengcheng Wharf that day, spreading the news to Nanchang.  However, no details were provided. These guard soldiers fled back and were immediately taken to see Governor Li Maofang by the commander of Nanchang Guard.

    Li Maofang asked: "Why was Mr. Yang chased to Fengcheng?"

    A guard soldier replied: "Mr. Yang took us to the countryside to suppress the bandits, and ransacked the houses of several landlords who were thieves. Those landlords have a lot of money and food in their homes, and they haven't finished moving for two hours"

    "Shut up!"

    Li Maofang was furious, and urged: "Tell me about the war, there is no problem how to rob the gentry."

    The soldier of the guard quickly said: "We were moving things, and two or three thousand rebels came to kill us. Mr. Yang won the battle first, and chased and killed the rebels. The rebels ran so fast that they couldn't catch up  The troops can be withdrawn. As soon as Chief Yang withdrew, the rebels came back, and the sailors who dragged the rebels arrived. General Yang disembarked outside Fengcheng County and led the troops into the city."

    "Fleeing into the city?" Li Maofang asked.

    "I didn't see clearly." The soldiers of the guard shook their heads. They only cared about running for their lives, and they didn't dare to approach the county seat, so they didn't know what was going on there.

    Li Maofang asked again: "Why didn't you go to the city with Mr. Yang?"

    The soldiers of the guard were weeping: "At that time, we were rushing to get off the boat. Mr. Yang was afraid that he would not be able to run fast, so he asked his servants to kill our Jiangxi local soldiers, saying that they blocked his way to get off the boat. We were not beaten away by the rebels, but by Mr. Yang.  The servants of the town were killed and scattered."

    Li Maofang was speechless for a moment. He could imagine how embarrassed Yang Jiamo was at that time.

    When Yang Jiamo fought in the north, he always left his infantry behind.  To put it bluntly, it is to let the infantry stop the enemy, and lead the servants to ride on horseback.  But when he arrived in Jiangxi, he couldn't ride a horse, and his servant was wearing iron armor, so he couldn't run even if he wanted to.

    Dong Xiangheng, the Jiangzhou military preparation officer, is training the navy at Poyang Lake.

    Li Maofang sent someone to summon Dong Xiangheng, and at the same time invited officials from the Third Department of Jiangxi Province to discuss the matter.

    Ding Kuichu, the Zuo Buzheng envoy, was the one who asked for money but not his life. In the end, he surrendered and his whole family was killed.

    Zhang Bingwen, the right chief envoy, this old man died a heroic death in history.

    At that time, he was the Zuo Buzheng envoy of Shandong Province, and the Tartars entered and attacked Jinan.  The eunuch stood up high and held heavy soldiers in his hands, and shrank in Linqing, not daring to move.  Zu Broadband came with reinforcements, but waited and hesitated, afraid of the enemy and dared not fight.

    Zhang Bingwen mobilized the people in the city and defended the city for half a month. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the city gate was breached.  He also led the people to engage in street fighting with the Tartars. He was outnumbered and killed by an arrow.  A total of more than ten of his wives, concubines and maids threw themselves into the lake.

    Wu Shiliang, the procurator of Jiangxi Province, is 85 years old this year, and this old man was only 69 years old when he became a Jinshi.  Historically, he also donated 100,000 taels of silver to recruit soldiers for the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. He was 97 years old when he resigned and returned home due to illness.

    The Jiangxi capital is temporarily vacant. He died of illness some time ago, and the court has not yet appointed a new one.

    "The rebels attacked Fengcheng, and Yang Zongzhen was besieged in the city," Li Maofang sighed, "Let's talk about it, should we send reinforcements?"

    Ding Kuichu quickly said: "Don't fall into the trick of the rebels to divert the tiger away from the mountain. What if we rescue and the rebels attack Nanchang?"

    Zhang Bingwen asked: "How many soldiers are available in Jiangxi?"

    Li Maofang replied: "There are only one or two thousand soldiers who can fight, and the rest are newly trained soldiers. The navy has suffered heavy losses in the summer, and I am afraid that they are not the opponents of the anti-thief sailors. Yang Zongzhen has hundreds of soldiers."  The elite are all warriors from the north."

    "Only one or two thousand soldiers available for battle?" Ding Kuichu was so startled that his back felt cold.

    Li Maofang sighed: "There are more than 10,000 new recruits, and they have only been trained for two or three months. The Luling Zhao bandits are notorious, and these recruits may not dare to fight with them."

    Zhang Bingwen suddenly said: "Zhang Yinggao, the magistrate of Guangxin, has 5,000 powerful soldiers in his hands, and he is now suppressing bandits in Nanfeng County. You can order him to send troops to attack Jishui, and go straight to the rear of the Zhao bandit. This will have a miraculous effect of besieging Wei and saving Zhao."

    "This plan is feasible," Li Maofang asked Wu Shiliang again, "What is the old man's idea?"

    Eighty-five-year-old Wu Shiliang seemed to be falling asleep sitting there, half-closed his eyes and said, "When we find out the truth, are the hundreds of soldiers in the hands of Mr. Yang still there? If so, Fengcheng County must  Save. If you are not there,Zhang Yinggao, the governor of Fuzhou, and Cai Bangjun, the prefect of Fuzhou, received Li Maofang's letter to encircle Wei and rescue Zhao.

    ? Cai Bangjun was promoted very quickly. He was a Jinshi in the first year of Chongzhen, and became a magistrate in the fifth year of Chongzhen.

    This old man did nothing else, he devoted himself to cultural and educational work, and even recruited scholars to compile "Fuzhou Fuzhi".

    Until the Nanchang religious bandits made such an outrageous disturbance that they even took over the county seat, he finally recruited Xiangyong to suppress the bandits, and invited Zhang Yinggao to cross the government to help.

    Just a few days ago, Zhang Yinggao led more than 4,000 troops, and Cai Bangjun led more than 2,000 troops, and finally wiped out the Nanfeng sect bandits. Only a few dozen Tantric followers fled into the mountains.

    "Tan Rugong, do you want to send troops?" Cai Bangjun was quite guilty, because the Luling Zhao thief was too famous.

    Zhang Yinggao sighed and said: "The general army is under siege, so we can't just sit back and watch. What's more, we are not going to fight the main force of the rebels, but to lead a surprise attack on Jishui County. The purpose of sending troops this time is not to attack the city, but to enter the jurisdiction of Jishui County  , forcing the main force of the rebels to withdraw from Fengcheng."

    "Let Dan Rugong decide everything." Cai Bangjun didn't know how to fight at all. If it wasn't for Zhang Yinggao's help, he wouldn't dare to wipe out the bandits himself.

    In fact, Zhang Yinggao was very troubled. Li Ruolian, who was framed and demoted by Li Maofang, was the elder brother of his classmate.  They grew up together, Zhang Yinggao and Li Ruolian are like brothers.  In terms of personal feelings, Zhang Yinggao wished he could strangle Li Maofang to death.  Even in terms of public opinion, Zhang Yinggao wanted to impeach Li Maofang, but the governor was really a jerk.

    However, he can only help now, otherwise Nanchang is in danger!

    The officers and soldiers of Guangxin and Fuzhou prefectures moved down the Chongren River along the waterway, and then turned into Wujiang River on the way, and went straight into Jishui County from behind.

    Surround Wei and save Zhao.

    ,

    ? Yang Jiamo and Xie Longwen were desperate, and even lived and boarded on the city tower.

    Xie Longwen even took out all the goods and personally led people to distribute them to the soldiers, so as not to be embezzled by some ghost again.

    It's a pity that he has only been the county magistrate for two and a half months. If he hadn't made a lot of money by expropriating autumn grain, he would not even have money to recruit soldiers.  But there is still not enough money and food. There is no need to distribute money this month, but food is being consumed every day.

    "There is almost no food," Xie Longwen said in a low voice, "It can last for two or three days at most, and the big households in the city are unwilling to donate food."

    Yang Jiamo frowned and said: "These big households don't know that they will be finished after the city is broken?"

    Xie Longwen sighed and said: "In the summer, the rebels came in once. A big household had no money, but maintained law and order and killed some who took advantage of the fire. The big households in the city are not afraid of the rebels.  The rebels will take revenge."

    The last time Huang Yao raided Fengcheng County, due to too few troops and during the war, he did not even force the big households to release their slaves.

    ? Yang Jiamo asked: "Which one of the grain merchants in the city has the most grain?"

    Xie Longwen replied: "Zhou and Wan."

    "These two families must have colluded with the rebels," Yang Jiamo said, "I will lead troops to search Zhou's house, and you will lead troops to search Wan's house. We will do it at midnight tonight."

    Yang Jiamo said: "Don't leak the news. Among the county government officials, there are children of these two families. I have been in office for less than three months, and many relationships have not been clarified. I don't know which of the soldiers are involved with these two families.  "

    On the other side, the county magistrate, the master book, and the history of the classics are also discussing.

    "This Yang Jiamo is too cautious, and he can't poison at all. He doesn't drink the wine sent, and only eats with the soldiers."

    "Hey, my military power has also been taken away, and this guy actually let a few helpers lead the army!"

    "The county magistrate still won't go down the tower?"

    "I never went back to the county office, I only ate and slept with the soldiers in the tower."

    "Why don't we just set the fire tonight? As long as the fire is started, there will be chaos in the city, and the rebels outside the city will be able to come in."

    "It's not good to set fire to it. They are all neighbors. Once burned, there will be a large area."

    "Otherwise, what else can we do? The three of us have been transferred away from the city gate. It is impossible to take dozens of confidants to seize the city?"

    "Think about it again, what if the governor brings troops to save Fengcheng County?"

    "The governor is coming, he has already come. It has been five days, and there is no sign of the officers and soldiers."

    "Wait another day, if the governor still doesn't come to rescue, then we will set fire to the city."

    ""

    Outside the city.

    Li Zheng and Huang Yao were injured, and Fei Yinggong was temporarily promoted to commander in chief.

    Although Huang Shun and Jiang Dashan have more seniority, everyone knows that Fei Yinggong is the fourth uncle of Zhao Han and Fei Ruhe.  Moreover, Fei Yinggong himself has abilities, and other generals are convinced.

    "General Manager Zhao, there are rebels coming to vote!"

    Fei Yinggong immediately walked out of the tent and went to meet the rebels in person. This was already the second call.

    The people in Fengcheng County were miserable, and they were looted by officers and soldiers in turn in Xia Tian.  Seeing the harvest of autumn grain, the new magistrate began to exploit again, not to mention the tenants, many small landlords could not survive.

    At this moment, a scholar led thousands of peasants, and carried a lot of grain with animals, standing outside the camp and waiting quietly.

    Seeing the generals of the rebel army come out, the scholar immediately cupped his hands and said: "Luo Gongqin in Fengcheng, I have seen all the generals. The court has no morals, corrupt officials exploited, and the landlords abused the people. I heard that the righteous division besieged the county, and I dared to kill the landlords and revolt. I am willing to sacrifice my life to follow  Luling Mr. Zhao!"

    "Everyone, please come in quickly!" Fei Yinggong said happily.

    The rebel army with less than 3,000 people, after five days of besieging the city, its strength increased to 5,000, and it was all the people of the county who spontaneously raised their voices to vote!

    Just as Luo Gongqin was settled, before Fei Yinggong had time to rest, another peasant army suddenly defected.

    This time there were only more than a hundred people, but their identities were very strange. There were eight descendants of the clan, and they even dragged their families along.

    Descendants of the Zhu family!

    When they heard that there was a royal family joining in, including Fei Yinggong, they were very surprised, and they all came to watch in surprise.

    The leader is Zhu Yirong, and the name was given wrongly, the last word should be next to "fire".  As for the other seven clans, they don't even have typesetting generations, they all have names like Zhu Gui and Zhu Fu.

    Huang Shun asked curiously: "Brother Zhu, you are the clan, why why did you come to rebel?"

    ?It is undeniable that these anti-thief leaders, let alone meeting a vassal king, even if they meet a down-and-out clan; He has no objection to the distribution of land, because the Tu family uses business affairs to make profits.  At the same time, Tu Changhan is still a scholar with the ambition to help the world, and he appreciates the content of "Datong Collection".

    After sleeping until midnight, Tu Changhan was awakened by the noise.

    However, a fire broke out in the city. As soon as this thing burned a large area, the neighbors in the neighborhood took the initiative to run to fight the fire.

    Tu Changhan took the opportunity to summon his slaves, raised his sword and shouted: "The imperial court has no way, and Mr. Zhao in Luling will win the world. You servants can also be favored by Mr. Zhao. Now that the city is on fire, you must act for Mr. Zhao's internal affairs, and follow me to seize it.  Make meritorious service in the city! Everyone come and get a tael of silver!"

    "Young Master, you can't," the housekeeper turned pale with shock, "Master's bones are not cold yet, if the Young Master acts like this, it will definitely bring disaster to the Tu family, and the master will not be at ease under the nine springs!"

    Tu Changhan was furious: "If you continue to make noise, I will kill you!"

    Not long after, Tu Changhan rushed to the gate of the city with more than 20 slaves holding sticks, shouting along the way: "The rebels have entered the city, the rebels have entered the city!"

    "Don't panic, don't run away!"

    Yang Jiamo and Xie Longwen, as well as Yang Jiamo's two remaining family members, guard the four city walls in the southeast, northwest, respectively.

    However, Fengcheng County has twelve city gates!

    Many city guards saw the fire in the city and were afraid that their own homes would be burned, so they wanted to go home to help put out the fire.  Hearing the shouts one after another, they thought that the rebels had sneaked into the city, and they ran away one after another.

    Yang Jiamo even beheaded several people, but still couldn't hold back and fled.

    At this moment, before troops were even dispatched outside the city, these defenders were already terrified.

    (My wife and children are back from a trip. My wife went out to do errands in the morning. The author was pestered by the children and couldn't concentrate on typing. The update is over, sorry. ?

 Body 180【The magistrate’s last words】

    ,

    Xie Longwen stopped the soldiers from escaping at first, but when he heard the cries of rebels outside the city, he immediately ran down from the tower.

    During the run, he was able to distract himself from the government and yelled: "Open the city gate!"

    No one paid any attention, and all the officers and soldiers ran away.

    Xie Longwen wanted to open the door and escape, but without the help of soldiers, it was difficult for one person to open it.  He didn't dare to waste time, instead he fled into the streets and alleys of the city, climbed over the wall and hid in the woodshed of a certain rich family.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Yang Jiamo quickly took off his cotton jacket and ran to the north along the city wall.

    According to the original plan, his two surviving servants also ran to Beicheng to meet up.  After tying the rope and hanging down, the three of them grabbed the rope and slid down, quickly fleeing into the streets outside the city.

    Seeing several groups of rebels rushing past, they seemed to have entered the city, so Yang Jiamo immediately fled with two servants.

    When he ran to the moat, Yang Jiamo was in despair for a moment, and there were a few rebels guarding each bridge.  He immediately retreated back to the street and headed towards the west pier of the city. There is no moat here, but there is a wide Ganjiang River, and ships are not allowed to dock during the siege.

    Although Yang Jiamo's ancestral home is Chongqing, he has settled in Liangzhou Wei for several generations. He and his two family members belong to landlubbers.

    The three of them took off their chain mail, forcibly removed the door panel of a shop, lifted the door panel and rushed towards the Ganjiang River - unable to escape along the river bank, because there was a moat in the middle, and the moats on both the north and south sides flowed into the Ganjiang River.

    Three landlubbers, each lying on a door panel, ran to the downstream city of Nanchang.

    One of the servants suddenly lost his balance after only flying more than ten feet away. He started pouring water with a grunt, clapping his hands indiscriminately and calling for help in panic.

    Yang Jiamo was terrified in his heart, let alone paddling, he didn't even dare to move his fingers, and just lay down on the door panel cautiously.

    The night doesn't tell the direction, it just floats down the river.

    "Bang!"

    I don't know how far it floated, but the door panel suddenly hit the bank and flipped over.

    Yang Jiamo also poured water, and his whole body sank, waving his limbs in terror, trying his best to swim to the surface of the water.  Swimming and swimming, until he was exhausted from swimming, Yang Jiamo finally resigned to his fate, and then he stepped on the sand.

    Try to stand up, the water level is only up to the waist, I have been busy for a long time just now, and I don’t know who I am fighting wits with.

    ? Yang Jiamo was ecstatic, and hurriedly climbed to the bank and walked along the river.  After walking a few steps, I lay down and rested. I was really exhausted just now, and I was full of water.

    After taking a short break to recover his strength, Yang Jiamo continued on his way.

    While walking, Yang Jiamo suddenly fell into the water, and the Gan River was in front of him again.

    The ghost hit the wall?

    Gradually, as the sky dimmed, Yang Jiamo finally understood that he had floated on a Jiangxin continent.  Moreover, it is a small sandbar, full of weeds, not even farmland, and no residents or ferries.

    In all directions, it is full of river water!

    ? Yang Jiamo wanted to cry but had no tears. The dignified general was trapped on a small sandbar.

    Yang Jiamo wandered around the sandbar, and finally found to his surprise that there was a port town on the opposite bank of the river to the east.

    Jiangxi's water network extends in all directions.

    This port town is called Xigang Town. In addition to being on the verge of the Ganjiang River, it is also next to a small river, which is a tributary of the Fuhe River.  Starting from this river, you can go to Raozhou in the north, Fuzhou in the south, and go back to the north of Nanchang city by detouring the Ganjiang River.

    "I have silver, I want to take a boat!" Yang Jiamo yelled frantically towards the opposite bank.

    Nobody cares.

    "I have silver, I have silver!"

    Yang Jiamo shouted smoke from his throat, but no one came by boat.  The sandbar is more than 300 meters away from the river bank, and it is a bustling town, who can hear it under the hustle and bustle?

    The first day was extremely long.

    The next day, Yang Jiamo was really hungry and panicked, so he started to dig grass roots and eat them raw.

    On the third day, I finally saw a ship passing by. It should be that Fengcheng County resumed the passage of merchant ships.

    "I have silver, I want to take a boat!" Yang Jiamo's voice was weak.

    He had a cold and a fever because the night was too cold.

    There must have been more than a dozen boats passing by, and someone must have seen Yang Jiamo, but none of them chose to stop.  Because it is easy to run aground near the sandbar, larger ships dare not approach.  It wasn't until evening that a merchant ship docked in Xigang Town, and a small boat was sent to rescue people.

    "Thank you very much" Yang Jiamo fell into a coma.

    This guy met a kind-hearted person, not only rescued him across the river, but also invited a doctor to treat his illness.

    In a daze, Yang Jiamo opened his mouth to drink the medicine, and?? 

    "Cough cough cough!"

    Liu Mianzuo wiped off the blood from his palms and raised his troops out of the city to form an array.

    A thousand townsmen bravely faced more than 5,000 enemies, so they confronted each other without fear.

    Liu Mianzuo roared angrily: "You are called officers and soldiers, but you are actually bandits. You have looted all the way here, even worse than the Luling Zhao bandits. Leave Yongfeng County quickly, or I will kill you out!"

    Zhang Yinggao and Cai Bangjun looked at each other, both feeling ashamed, and when the soldiers snatched up some boats at the pier, they led the troops downstream to Jishui.

    "Cough cough cough cough!"

    "County Honor!"

    "Hurry up and help the county priest back to the city!"

    All the soldiers panicked and escorted Liu Mianzuo back to the county government.

    Liu Mianzuo fought for several years, wiped out several old bandits in the mountains, and suppressed the peasant army in Yongfeng County.  The officials in the county have been replaced a long time ago, and they are all his confidants.

    Moreover, after Zhao Han occupied Jishui, Yongfeng County no longer paid taxes to the court, and all the money and food were used to train soldiers.  Liu Mianzuo took the opportunity to lightly corvee the poor Fu, and everyone from the gentry to the common people respected him.

    The county magistrate was disobedient and had already been chopped down by Liu Mianzuo, claiming that he was killed by bandits.

    After Liu Mianzuo woke up, he summoned the master book and the history: "If I die, I will immediately vote for Zhao Yan. If there are a thousand elite soldiers and no serious evil, Zhao Yan must be reused. Only Zhao Yan can keep the people of Yongfeng County safe, and the rest  The government cannot be trusted. Especially Li Maofang, I sent people to Nanchang to investigate, this bastard has already made Nanchang government angry!"

    Both the master book and the classic history were promoted by Liu Mianzuo, and they were officially appointed by the court through Xie Xuelong.

    "Don't talk too much about the county lord, the most important thing is to recuperate the sick body."

    "Cough cough cough I can't do it anymore. The old injury has dragged on for three years, and I will definitely not survive this winter. Remember, lead troops to sacrifice the city, and go to Zhao"

    "County Zun! County Zun! ?

 Text 181 [A lot of acquaintances] (addition for the leader "99 Jiu Jiu Jiu Jiu")

    "Just leave like this?" Cai Bangjun asked.

    Zhang Yinggao sighed and said: "This person is burning with anger. If he doesn't leave, he might really do it."

    Cai Bangjun said angrily: "I'm not going to be angry? I came out to attack in the cold, just to encircle Wei and save Zhao? What if the main force of the rebels is not in Fengcheng? What if the main force of the rebels is in Jishui? Now Yongfeng County is not  Let him enter the city, if the battle goes wrong, you and I don't even have a city to retreat to!"

    "At that time, as long as we withdraw our troops in time, the magistrate of Yongfeng County will definitely open the city." Zhang Yinggao smiled helplessly, "First, he is an official ordered by the imperial court after all.  Maybe from the rebels; second, we retreated all the way to Yongfeng County, when the rebel army approached, the magistrate of Yongfeng County would not let us enter the city, how could he resist the rebel attack? After all, we have 5,000 troops."

    Zhang Yinggao guessed correctly, an official like Liu Mianzuo would never turn to a thief.  If this person is still alive, he must also put the friendly army into the city.

    But what about Liu Mianzuo's death?

    Of course, it doesn't matter whether Liu Mianzuo is dead or not.  Because on the fourth day after Zhang Yinggao sent troops, Zhao Han received a secret report from Wang Tingshi, knowing that there was a surprise attack from the rear of Jishui County.

    There are 500 soldiers stationed in Jishui County, mainly to guard against enemies from the east.

    This city is very close to the city of Ji'an Prefecture. It only needs to hold on for half a day, and the reinforcements from the Zongbingfu can arrive by boat.

    Regardless of whether the secret report was received or not, Jishui County will not lose, but the people of Jishui will definitely suffer.

    Zhang Yinggao also knew the danger, so he would not go to attack the city, and he would not even approach Jishui County.

    Zhang Yinggao himself took a small boat with a guide, and went down the river to explore the terrain, while more than 5,000 troops were stationed in Yongfeng County.

    "Master Guan, the front is Baijiao Town (Bajiang Township)," the guide said in detail, "From Yongfeng County to Jishui County, Baijiao Town is the most bustling and bustling, with many merchant ships berthing every day."

    Wujiang and Enjiang are the same river. It is called Enjiang in Yongfeng County and Wujiang in Jishui County.

    Baijiao Town is located at the confluence of Wujiang River and Bateng River, forty miles away from Jishui County.  This is only a straight-line distance. The river has seven bends and eight turns. The actual distance is sixty to seventy miles, and there are many mountains on both sides, so you must walk along the river valley.

    Zhang Yinggao carefully observed the terrain and found that this is an excellent ambush location.

    ?Because there is a big sharp bay, the sediment in the river is silted up, forming large and small sandbars.  In this place, ships with more than 200 materials should not try to pass through. If you don't pay attention, you will run aground, and even ships with more than 100 materials will run aground.

    In this way, even if the rebels have sailors, they are not afraid. Large warships cannot pursue them at all, and the rebel soldiers have to disembark and chase them with their feet.

    There are many mountains on the west bank, so you can set up ambushes and set up more flags, and it will be called anti-thief, all trees and trees are soldiers!

    The villages on the east bank can disperse the people, and then loot Baijiao Town along the way.  The villagers and residents of the town will inevitably rush to Jishui County to report the news, and then they can pretend to be defeated, and it doesn't matter if they really lose.  Just wait for the rebels to chase after them, and the ambushes on both sides of the strait are all out, and the big rebel navy ships can't get through, maybe they can win a big victory.

    Small victories or small defeats are also acceptable, anyway, they are just harassing the rear, forcing the main rebels to withdraw from Fengcheng.

    Even if they are defeated, since the routs are not familiar with the terrain, they will inevitably flee along the river bank. When the time comes, return to Yongfeng County and gather the routs.

    Zhang Yinggao immediately returned to Yongfeng County in a small boat, and discussed with Cai Bangjun to send troops the next day.

    Soldiers are extremely fast. They did not plunder along the way this time, they did not even rule out the search team, and they did not send sentry ships to check the situation. They arrived at the ambush point along the river bank for half a day.

    Cai Bangjun led the weaker Fuzhou soldiers, took all the flags of the whole army, and went to the mountains on the west bank to ambush.

    At the same time, Zhang Yinggao personally led the elite Guangxin soldiers to sweep up the villages on the east bank, preparing to fight all the way to Baijiao Town, and the bigger the momentum, the better.  As long as the rebel army dares to come, the ambushes on both sides of the strait will come out, and he will be caught off guard!

    That is, why does it feel a little wrong?

    There is not even a ghost in the village!

    At this very moment, Fei Ruhe was yawning in the mansion of the gentry, and he had brought troops here to wait for five full days!

    Even in Yongfeng County, Fei Ruhe sent out sentries to watch Zhang Yinggao's every move.

    Zhang Yinggao never imagined in his wildest dreams that when he sent troops ahead, the rebels got information behind them.

    Otherwise, relying on the superior terrain, Zhang Yinggao can really come and go freely.

    "No, withdraw quickly!"

    Zhang Yinggao found that the riverside village was empty, not even any poultry and livestock, and immediately yelled in panic to withdraw his troops, while letting? Stick to it.

    Then, Liu Xiu, the chosen son, came with thousands of reinforcements.  With 420,000 officers and soldiers, only a few thousand people were sent to fight each time, and they were defeated by Liu Xiu every time.

    When Liu Xiu led a death squad of 3,000 soldiers to the Chinese army camp, the 420,000 officers and soldiers collapsed

    This is more like a fantasy story.

    Seeing the broken soldiers running around everywhere, Fei Ruhe also let the soldiers disperse, and Shi Chang led the team to capture them.

    Fei Ruhe personally led 500 regular soldiers, and came to the riverside to receive the surrendered soldiers who had formed a system.

    On the other side of Gujian Mountain, they also abandoned their boats and went ashore to chase and kill Cai Bangjun's Fuzhou soldiers.  It was hard to escape and hard to chase, because it was all snow-covered mountains.

    "Was the coach the one who committed suicide just now?" Fei Ruhe stepped forward and asked.

    An Ehu soldier clasped his fists and said, "The person who committed suicide was Guangxin Governor ZhangRuhe?"

    "Ru Cong?" Fei Ruhe was dumbfounded.

    The person in front of him is Fei Ruhe's clan brother, and he is a very close clan brother.  He is the great-grandson of Fei Ruhe's great-grandfather's cousin, a small landowner who failed to be a scholar, and is now an officer among the bravery of the village.

    Fei Rucong was even more startled and incoherent, pointing at Fei Ruhe and said, "You you, you, you, how did you become a high-ranking anti-thief official?"

    Fei Ruhe smiled wryly and said, "Brother, it seems we can't let you go back."

    "Master Fei, I'm Lu Yuan!"

    "Master Fei, I am Chen Yongshun."

    "Master Fei"

    Fei Ruhe's expression is extremely exciting: "There are so many acquaintances." &lt;/div&gt

 Body 182 [A group of talented scholars]

    ,

    Yang Jiamo was hungry, cold, and sick. He drank some porridge these days, and by now he was so thin that his cheeks were sunken.

    After waking up, he hoped to pay respects to his benefactor face to face, but in fact he wanted to find out the situation.

    Soon, his benefactors walked into the cabin, and there were quite a lot of them.

    Moreover, they are all dressed up as scholars!

    Gan Dashou, a candidate of Fengcheng County, Yuan Bingkun, a candidate of Fengcheng County, Yu Shiqin, a candidate of Nanchang Prefecture, Tu Tingying, a scholar of Nanchang Prefecture, Yuan Maoling, a scholar of Fengcheng County, Gan Tangshu, a scholar of Fengcheng County, Tu Zhi, a scholar of Fengcheng County

    "President Yang, I haven't seen you for half a month, why are you so haggard?" Yu Shiqin looked surprised.

    ? Yuan Bingkun said: "Mr. Yang worked so hard that he became sick from overwork. It's really embarrassing."

    Tu Zhi said: "Mr. Zhao in Luling, I heard that there is a famous doctor who sent Zongzhen Yang to treat him, and the disease will definitely be cured."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    All the scholars burst out laughing.

    Yang Jiamo recalled it immediately, and shouted in horror: "Youyou are going to gang up on the thief!"

    Yuan Bingkun sighed: "If you can protect your family and defend your country, who would be willing to follow the bandits? Last year, my Yuan family assisted the governor in recruiting more than 300 soldiers, and donated money and food to help pay, just to wipe out the bandits as soon as possible. But what is Li Maofang doing?  The soldiers blackmailed the gentry and looted the common people, and even though they were fighting in Linjiang Mansion, they actually blackmailed them into the territory of Fengcheng!"

    Yuan Maoling sneered: "Even so, my Yuan family has no resentment. After the governor's defeat, he was still donating money to help pay. But Fengcheng County was besieged for many days, and I waited for Fengcheng scholars to go to Nanchang to persuade them.  Li Maofang just stood still. This guy is as timid as a mouse, and he may only dare to stay in Nanchang in the future, and he can no longer care about Fengcheng County.

    Tu Zhi said: "Since Governor Li doesn't care about Fengcheng, I, a scholar in Fengcheng, can only find my own way out."

    ? Yang Jiamo struggled to get up, wanting to fight these scholars desperately, but he had no strength after starving for many days, so Yu Shiqin kicked him back on the bed.

    Tu Tingying took out a copy of "The Collection of Datong" from his arms, waved it at Yang Jiamo and said, "This is the book of salvation. Mr. Zhao of Luling must be a hero."

    The Tu family also belongs to a large family in Jiangxi, and has been doing business for generations.

    Tu Changhan led his slaves in Fengcheng County to seize the door and sacrifice the city. Tu Tingying and Tu Zhi then went to join Zhao Han.  Representing the three clan branches of the Tu clan, they have turned their backs on the court one after another. In their eyes, Zhao Han is not a devil, but a cute little guy who encourages the development of industry and commerce.

    Gan Dashou remained silent. Although his family was in Fengcheng County, it was far away from the county seat, but closer to Fuzhou Prefecture.  His family lived in the mountains. Although they were a prominent family in the mountains, they didn't have many acres of land. "The Collection of Datong" was very much in line with his wishes.  Historically, this person will be able to become a Jinshi in more than a year. The agricultural policy he adopted when he was a county magistrate was ordered by Chongzhen to be extended to the entire Huguang.

    Although Gan Tangshu's surname is also Gan, she is far away from Gan Dashou's family.  Just a few days ago, more than 20 of the fleeing guards rushed into his house to loot.  The Gan family hastily summoned their slaves to resist. Although they repelled the defeated soldiers, Gan Tangshu's father fell and broke his bones, and there were signs of a stroke.

    These more than a dozen scholars and scholars are all completely disappointed in the imperial court!

    In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the city of Ji'an Prefecture, a few servants dragged Yang Jiamo off the boat, and all the students went to the General Military Mansion together to ask for an audience.

    "Please inform me that Jiangxi General Soldier Yang Jiamo has been arrested here." Yuan Bingkun cupped his hands and said.

    Not long after, everyone was brought in.

    Zhao Han was very happy that three candidates and eleven scholars took the initiative to vote by boat, and he didn't care about the commander in chief.

    The scholars reported their names, Zhao Han greeted them warmly, and directly invited them to the inner house for tea.

    ? Yang Jiamo was also tied in. After seeing Zhao Han, the guy suddenly shouted: "Mr. Zhao, I am willing to surrender!"

    Zhao Han said, "No need."

    "I really want to surrender." Yang Jiamo said anxiously.

    Zhao Han sighed: "It's really not necessary."

    Yang Jiamo became more and more anxious: "Mr. Zhao, the south ships and the north horses. From now on, sir, I will help you train the cavalry for the northern expedition!"

    Zhao Han was a little impatient, and ordered: "Gag his mouth."

    "Mr. Zhao, there must be cavalry in the north. You don't know how fierce the bandits and Tartars are Mmmmmmm" Yang Jiamo was pressed to the ground, struggling with a rag in his mouth.

    Zhao Han asked: "How did you catch this person?"

    Yuan Bingkun said with a smile: "Brother Ziyu (Gan Dashou) is kind-hearted. When he saw someone trapped on the sandbar, he hired a boat to bring him back to Xigang. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the Jiangxi General Soldier."

    Yu Shiqin said: "I once saw this tusk in Nancheng Fucheng, and I recognized it immediately."

    Yuan?Elite, relatively obedient.  They must have robbed, but fortunately they did not kill or rape women.  "

    "Only looting, not killing, do you believe it yourself?" Zhao Han sneered.

    Fei Ruhe was a little embarrassed: "At least not many kills, only those who want to resist."

    "Tell me, do those Ehu soldiers have a lot of acquaintances?" Zhao Han directly exposed it.

    Fei Ruhe said: "There is a brother who has not passed the fifth service, and there are more than a dozen relatives who have not passed the fifth service. The rest are all from good families near E Lake. They are really elite. Facing the siege and ambush, they did not  When they surrendered, they gathered around Guangxin Zhifu. They have been trained for more than two years and have seen blood in actual combat! Moreover, they didn’t kill many civilians, at least not many compared with other soldiers.”

    Zhao Han thought carefully and said: "If we break up and join the regular army, I will expand the army and prepare for war!"

    Taihe County was devastated by the thief leader Sai Lubu, the landlord was almost killed, and the life of the people was even more difficult.  And because of the war, a large number of people died or fled. Zhao Han can move some farmers there to alleviate the shortage of cultivated land in the existing land.

    Moreover, only by taking Taihe County can the gap in the southern terrain be blocked, and he is not afraid of more officers and soldiers.

 Body 183 [Tiger General]

    ,

    Ji'an City, Military Academy.

    The scope of powers and responsibilities of the Military Academy includes: recruiting soldiers, organizing and training the army, managing military registration, leading troops in battle, evaluating performance, promoting officers, and selecting generals.

    Compared with the eunuched Mansion of the Five Armies of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Han's Military Academy has more power!

    Today, Fei Ruhe is the head of the Military Academy.

    Zhao Han decided to expand the army to prepare for war, how many regular troops to expand, how many new troops to form, Fei Ruhe could not make the decision, that was within the purview of the Military Affairs Department (Li Banghua).

    However, Fei Ruhe can select a few soldiers first, and then assign them to the troops directly under him - the system is not perfect now, and after the territory grows, the chief officer of the Military Academy will definitely not be able to personally command the troops.  Even if you want to command the troops, you have to temporarily resign from the daily duties of the Military Academy.

    "Bring the list of prisoners." Fei Ruhe ordered.

    His secretary handed over a list directly, and said, "Headmaster, the general town asked me to give it to you."

    Fei Ruhe was furious when he saw it, and agreed to break up the Ehu soldiers and organize them into various units.  But Zhao Han identified eight people in advance and sent them to mine directly without discussing with Fei Ruhe at all.

    Of the eight Ehu officers who were sent to mine, five of them had the surname Fei!

    Fei Ruhe completely lost his mind, left the Military Academy, and went straight to the yamen of the General Military Mansion.

    "Zhao Bingyuan, the general town is discussing matters, you can't go inZhao BingyuanGeneral Zhao" The guard hurriedly stopped.

    "Go away!"

    Fei Ruhe forcibly pushed the guard away and kicked open the door of the meeting room.

    Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, Chen Maosheng, Xiao Huan and others all turned their heads to look, feeling a little puzzled.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Sit down."

    Fei Ruhe didn't sit down, but asked: "This is only two prefectures and eight counties, are you going to kill the donkey?"

    "It's a matter of business," Zhao Han explained, "I don't have to pursue all those Ehu soldiers, but the officers who lead the troops must be brought to justice."

    Fei Ruhe sneered: "Out of eight officers, there are actually five with the surname Fei?"

    Zhao Han asked back: "The officer of the Ehu soldiers, can the surname not be Fei?"

    This is the truth, as long as Zhao Han severely punishes the officers, the surname Fei must be the majority.

    "Why didn't you discuss it with me first?" Fei Ruhe asked.

    Zhao Han asked: "Will you agree?"

    Of course he would not agree, Fei Ruhe is a person with deep affection in his bones, it is impossible to send his family members to mine because of this kind of thing.  Although mining is defined as reform through labor, and you can be free after five years, even if you come out alive, you will be sick.

    However, Fei Ruhe refused to admit it, and said stiffly: "You have discussed it with me, and I will definitely agree!"

    Zhao Han slowed down his tone and said soothingly, "Sit down and talk slowly."

    "I won't sit!" Fei Ruhe stood and glared at Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han sighed and said, "Oh, you should go home."

    "Sure enough, all the birds are hiding." Fei Ruhe sneered.

    Zhao Han could only explain: "There must be spies from the government in the counties under our rule. Your identity and mine will be passed on to the governor of Jiangxi at a delay of a year or a half, or at the earliest in two or three months.  Bring your family? I will reserve the seat of the Military Academy for you first, and you go home to calm down. Think about it, and continue to come back to do things. If you can’t figure it out, you don’t have to come back.”

    Hundreds of Ehu soldiers were scattered to various units, and Fei Ruhe's identity would spread out sooner or later.

    Fei Yinghuan's official position in Fujian is not stable, so he must send someone to notify him as soon as possible.

    Zhao Han is really not afraid that the Fei family is powerful, Zhao Han is not Liu Bang, and the Fei family is not the Lu family.

    Liu Bang and Lu are entrepreneurial partners, and the shares are very close, not to mention that the system at the end of Qin can be compared with that at the end of Ming Dynasty?  The Lu family has private soldiers, and the proportion is very large!

    "Continue with the meeting!" Zhao Han ignored Fei Ruhe and did not let him go out.

    Chen Maosheng said: "The truth is like this. The mission group and the government at all levels think that there are too many towns in each county. In the early stage of land division, there are many things to do, and the officials are naturally very busy. But after one or two years after the land division  , it appears that the township officials are redundant. Village affairs, with the assistance of the village head and the peasant association, many township officials have nothing to do."

    "I agree to reduce one more township in each county," Pang Chunlai echoed, "Official salaries are too expensive."

    Zuo Xiaoliang said: "At least two towns should be reduced. Take Luling County as an example, six towns are enough. I went back to my hometown during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and my cousin was an official in the town. He said that except for summer and autumn  I am very busy collecting grain and encountering drought and floods, and other times I am too busy to catch lice.”

    Everyone spoke one after another, and Zhao Han was completely unable to refute.

    antiquityThe strength is more than seven thousand, but the elite is only seven or eight hundred.  As for the thieves in the city, they are just a mob. Every time they fight outside the city, they are defeated by one blow. They are not even as good as the bandits in the mountains of Longquan County.  "

    Fei Ruhe still has another task, saying: "Zhao Zongzhen plans to take over the three counties in the south. I don't know if the two brothers want to be civil servants or military officials in the future."

    Fang Shenghong asked: "How about the civil servants, how about the military officers?"

    Fei Ruhe said: "There are rules on our side, I think the two of you are already aware of them. But the two of you have made great achievements in donating soil. If you are a civil servant, you can start from the county magistrate. If you are a military commander, you can start from the commander of the five hundred soldiers  Always start."

    "I am a civil servant."

    "I am also a civil servant."

    The Fang brothers who raised the pole and rebelled, captured Longquan and Wan'an counties, and soon captured Taihe County, chose to be civil servants with one voice.

    Because, they are scholars!

    "That's good," Fei Ruhe said with a smile, "After the war here is over, the two of you can go to Fengcheng County and Yongfeng County to be county magistrates. This is a decision that the General Army Mansion has discussed."

    The Fang brothers have already built the siege ladder, and the siege has lasted for many days, and the defense materials in the city are almost consumed.

    These thieves are unwilling to surrender, because they have committed too many crimes, and surrender is death.

    The next day, Fei Ruhe sent someone to the city to shout: "General Zhao Er in Luling is here, the bandits in the city are listening, if the city surrenders, ordinary bandits will not die!"

    Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. If the iron mines are full, they can be sent to repair canals and open up barren mountains.

    Of course, such words will not be said.

    After shouting more than ten times in a row, when they attacked the city again, the resistance of ordinary bandits was much weaker.

    Fei Ruhe had been observing the situation of the battle, when suddenly he took off his chain mail and only wore cotton armor and shouted: "Follow me to capture the city!"

    Fang Shengchang hurriedly dissuaded him: "General Zhao, there is no need to personally take risks."

    Fei Ruhe said angrily: "I got angry at Zongzhen, and today I must kill someone to vent my anger!"

    This guy personally led hundreds of soldiers, ran all the way to the bottom of the city, and climbed towards the chosen target city wall.  The falling rocks and rolling logs were exhausted, as were the golden juice and boiling oil, Fei Ruhe climbed up with a knife in hand.

    Climbing all the way to the female wall, he stabbed the bamboo spear head-on, Fei Ruhe lowered his head and dodged it, then slammed into it.

    "kill!"

    Fei Ruhe hacked a small soldier to death, and shouted at the top of his voice, "Here is Luling Zhao Er!"

    Zhao Tianwang is Zhao Han, General Zhao Er is Fei Ruhe, these are all broken names given by the surrounding rebels.

    The arrival of Zhao Er in Luling immediately frightened the thieves, and countless thieves threw down their weapons and fled.

    A bandit chief named "Black-faced Tiger" came with his confidant, raised his knife and shouted: "Others are afraid of you, Zhao Er, but I am not afraid of Black-faced Tiger!"

    This guy's complexion is like charcoal, he was born with a hulking back, and he doesn't know what he used to do.

    With a slash of a knife, the tiger is full of wind, obviously he is a practicing family.

    "when!"

    Fei Ruhe had practiced swordsmanship for ten years. He split the opponent's weapon with one blow, then turned around and used his strength to make another blow.  Flowing like clouds and flowing water, without hindrance, the thief capital did not react, and the second knife had already hit the front door.

    The black-faced tiger instantly turned into a bad-faced tiger, and was hacked into the forehead by Fei Ruhe.

    "Master Tiger is dead, run!"

    "Luling Zhao Er is so fierce!"

    ""

    Fei Ruhe was here to vent his anger this time. He completely ignored the soldiers under his command and just rushed forward with a knife in his hand, slashing at any bandits he saw along the way.

    This guy chased and hacked for more than twenty feet all the way, hacking and killing more than ten people one after another, scaring the bandits and fleeing in panic.  After escaping, they collapsed, the entire city wall collapsed, Fei Ruhe chased hundreds of thieves to kill by himself.

    The Fang brothers stood under the city, dumbfounded.

    "A real tiger!" Fang Shengchang swallowed his saliva and said.

    Fang Shenghong said dumbfounded: "Fortunately, I chose to join, otherwise this one in front of me would make us overwhelmed."

 Text 184 [Military and Political Adjustments] (adding updates for the lord's "Second Opening of Eyes to See the World")

    ,

    Chongzhen eight years, December.

    Zhao Han's military and political systems were adjusted at the same time.

    ? In terms of government affairs, that is to say, to reset the administrative divisions, not only to reduce the establishment of two towns in each county, but also to delineate prefectures and counties according to the actual control area.

    There are still only two prefectures——

    ? Ji'an Prefecture temporarily governs seven counties: Luling, Jishui, Anfu, Taihe, Yongfeng, Wan'an, and Longquan.

    Linjiang Prefecture temporarily governs six counties: Qingjiang, Xingan, Xiajiang, Xinyu, Fenyi, and Fengcheng.

    These are temporary and will definitely need to be adjusted in the future.

    In terms of military affairs, we will expand our army and prepare for war.

    The Military Academy carried out corresponding reforms and was divided into three courtyards: South, North, and Water.

    Huang Yao served as the chief officer of the Northern Dean, and the military jurisdiction was Linjiang Mansion.

    Fei Ruhe served as the governor of Nanchang, and the military jurisdiction was Ji'an Prefecture.

    ?Gu Jianshan served as the officer of the water academy and headed the water division.

    At the same time, the upper limit of military officers who can be promoted by the Military Academy is raised to the rank of sentinel (about 100 leading soldiers).  For officers above sentry officer, the Military Academy can only recommend candidates, and they can only be formally appointed with the approval of the Military Affairs Department.

    With the growth of the army, this upper limit will be raised in the future, and Li Banghua believes that it will be raised to the total at most.  That is to say, the Military Academy can promote officers who command less than 1,000 people; generals who command more than 1,000 people must obtain the approval of the Military Affairs Department (Ministry of War).

    Military missionaries are separated from the Mission Department (Ministry of Rites) and merged into the Military Affairs Department (Military Department) system.

    The evaluation of military merit will be recorded and reported by the military mission officer in the future.

    This encounter with Yang Jiamo's plunder, the rewards and punishments for a series of battles were also announced after verification.

    The peasants and soldiers of Qingjiang County made great contributions to holding back the main force of the enemy army.

    ? Propaganda officer Yang Mo, defying powerful enemies, sacrificed heroically.  Donate five acres of land and ten taels of silver.  Because he never married, with the consent of Yang Mo's elder brother, he adopted a nephew as his heir.

    Xiao Zongxian was able to command well, and he was promoted from Shizhang to postmaster. He was given three acres of land, five taels of silver, and a pair of armor.

    Hu Dinggui, the head of the peasant army, was brave and good at fighting. When he was about to be defeated, he was the first to charge, beheading two servants alone and one servant together.  Now he has been promoted to be the captain of the army, and he will be given three acres of land, five taels of silver, and a pair of armor.

    The rest of the peasants and soldiers who fought to the end were converted into regular soldiers, given two acres of land, and rewarded with one tael of silver.

    All peasants and soldiers who died in battle will be given five acres of land and ten taels of silver.  Those who have no heirs can be adopted or adopted to continue the incense of the martyrs.

    All peasants and soldiers who escaped from the battle were fined one mu of land and served in the county for two months every year.  During the service period, there is only rations, no wages, and the service lasts for five years.

    Although Zhao Han's army has clear rewards and punishments, they are very cautious about granting fields.

    This is the first large-scale grant of land, because it was too difficult to fight back then.  A group of farmers and soldiers who have only been trained for more than two months, holding very primitive weapons, facing hundreds of servants in iron armor, and rushing forward with bows and arrows, can be called a military miracle.

    Must set an example!

    As for giving the field, after repeated discussions, the result was finally negotiated.

    Regardless of whether it is an official or a soldier, if he obtains special merits, he can give extra land.

    Ordinary people, fighting floods and droughts, building water conservancy, and reclaiming wasteland, can get points every time they go to work, and the points can be granted when they meet certain conditions.  For example, in Wuxing Town, many people were given one mu of land, which was obtained through their labor.

    However, a person can have up to 100 mu of land under his name.

    If this amount is reached, no more acres of land will be rewarded no matter what achievements you have made.  You can be promoted, you can be rewarded with money, but you are not allowed to reward the fields.

    Twelfth lunar month twenty-one.

    Zhao Han led the civil and military officers and went out from the northwest gate of Ji'an Fucheng, followed by more than two hundred soldiers holding the martyr tablets.

    The temple on Zhenjun Mountain started construction at the beginning of the year and has now been converted into the Temple of Heroes.

    Temples, which existed in the pre-Qin period, are places for worshiping gods or ancestors, not exclusive to Buddha monks.

    ?From Zhao Han's rebellion to the present, a total of 216 soldiers have been sacrificed.  Including those who followed Zhao Han to send troops in winter and died of illness halfway, they were all counted as sacrifices.  There are also sailors who fell into the Gan River after a fierce battle and were washed away and disappeared, which are also sacrifices.

    In the past, the martyrs' memorial tablets were enshrined in Yongyang Town, borrowed from the ancestral hall of the big family, and now they are all moved here.

    The remains were buried in their hometowns, and the Temple of Heroic Souls only enshrined tablets.

    All the way was solemn, without music, and everyone stepped on the snow up the mountain.

    There were also many common people who took the initiative to follow to watch the excitement, but they did not dare to talk nonsense seeing this situation.

    ? Before coming to the Temple of Heroes, there are already temple blessings?, there are countless peasants and soldiers.

    Due to the relative isolation of the army, hundreds of Ehu soldiers were dismissed and enlisted in the army. There is no news that Zhao Han is from Qianshan.

    Eight thousand regular soldiers, countless peasant soldiers

    Li Maofang felt his scalp tingling. He had seen Zhao Han's army before and knew how strong the opponent's fighting power was.  And I also know that Yang Jiamo's hundreds of family members were held up by a group of peasant soldiers and did not evacuate in time.

    If the Zhao bandits expand their army like this, there will be changes within half a year. How will Nanchang City be defended then?

    Well, if you are determined to defend, Nanchang may be able to defend, but it is only useful for defending!

    The imperial court kept urging and urging, ordering Li Maofang to quickly recover the lost land, and even asked him to set a deadline for recovering the lost land.

    That's right, set a deadline!

    There is also a time limit for the officers and soldiers of the five provinces to encircle and suppress the bandits, which is equivalent to the governor giving himself a military order.  This summer, as the time limit was approaching, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, had no choice but to bite the bullet and march. Although the tycoon Cao Wenzhao died, he also beat the rogues to flee here and there.

    ? In fact, it was spread everywhere and dispersed into countless shares for transfer. It was difficult for a governor of the five provinces to deal with it, so Lu Xiangsheng was made the prime minister of the five provinces.

    The Governor is in charge of the Northwest Theater and the Prime Minister is in charge of the Southeast Theater.

    As for Li Maofang, there is still one year left for the deadline he set for himself to suppress the bandits

    As the Chinese New Year approached, Li Maofang received information again that the rebel defenders in Fengcheng County seemed to have only a thousand soldiers left, and the rebel navy was nowhere to be seen.

    Do you want to send troops to take it back, at least once to regain the city?

    Li Maofang thought about it, but still didn't dare to do it. He had already been psychologically shadowed.

    But no matter what, it is good news, at least the rebels will not attack Nanchang in the short term.

    ? Li Maofang announced that the rebels had withdrawn, and paid out a severance package to let the newly recruited villagers go home to celebrate the New Year, and let the gentry train in the countryside by themselves, and then gather troops to fight when the rebels come.

    ? According to the censor Chen Yuding, the sixth memorial to impeach Li Maofang has also been sent along the Yangtze River at this moment. It is estimated that Chongzhen will receive a surprise during the Lantern Festival.

 Body 185【Efforts of Chongzhen】

    Wenhua Hall.

    The monarch and his ministers were silent, and there was a dead silence.

    ? Today is the 21st of the first lunar month, and before the ten-day Lantern Festival holiday is over, the ministers of the cabinet, department, and department were urgently summoned by the emperor to discuss matters.

    Those rebels in Jiangxi, although the religious bandits in Qianshan and Nanfeng were wiped out, and although the bandits in southern Jiangxi had been wiped out, the Zhao bandits in Luling became more and more troublesome.  The imperial court also assigned Zhao Han's territory to King Sweeping, thinking that Zhao Han had expanded to three prefectures and seventeen counties.

    By the way, just some time ago, King Sweeper tried to expand westward, failed to attack Chaling County, Huguang, and plundered villages and towns in Chaling County.

    Cabinet minister Qian Shisheng cupped his hands and said: "Li Maofang levied violently in Jiangxi, and was afraid of the enemy many times. He should be recalled to the capital for questioning. Xue Guoguan recommended someone who is not a person, and should be held accountable."

    Li Maofang was recommended by Xue Guoguan as the governor of Jiangxi.

    Unfortunately, Xue Guoguan went home to attend the funeral, and he is still in Ding You's time.

    The longer he was emperor, the more irritable Chongzhen's temper became, and the whole country was full of mess before him.

    "Withdraw Li Maofang, who is worthy of this job?" Chongzhen tried to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked in a seemingly very calm tone.

    Everyone was silent.

    Chongzhen pointed casually: "Say it!"

    The cabinet minister Kong Zhenyun could only stand up: "Governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, Zhu Xieyuan, can be the governor of Jiangxi. Although the four provinces worked together to suppress bandits, there were riots in Guangdong and Guangxi, and there was no unified control. Shen Youlong should be removed from the post of governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.  His position as governor of Guangdong. Zhu Xieyuan was changed to governor of Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Zhejiang provinces, and concurrently as governor of Jiangxi.

    Cabinet minister Zhang Zhifa added: "Although Huguang's soldiers went north to encircle and suppress the thieves, they should set up a governor or general army on Huguang South Road, which should also be controlled by the governor. Only in this way can they form a siege against the Zhao thieves."

    "Zhejiang is not allowed to mobilize troops!" Hou Xun quickly stood up to object.

    The monarch and his subjects were silent.

    Now the imperial court's wealth is seriously insufficient, and it is all supported by Nanzhili and Zhejiang. Zhejiang really cannot mobilize troops, otherwise the country's finances will completely collapse.

    As for Fujian and Guangdong, you can fight whatever you want, and the taxes contributed by these two provinces are negligible.

    After thinking carefully, Chongzhen said: "Order Li Maofang, the governor of Jiangxi, to return to Beijing, and transfer Zhu Xieyuan to be the governor of Jiangxi, the governor of Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and the military affairs of Huguang South Road! Give Shang Fang a sword!"

    Zhu Xieyuan once held the title of minister of the Ministry of War (vacant position) and served as the governor of the five provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Hunan, and Guangxi. It took several years to put down the rebellion in She'an.  Because of his contribution to the Zuozhu Kingdom, Yin Qi's son inherited Jinyi Weiqian.

    Until the northwest rogues became bigger and the military affairs of Sichuan and Huguang provinces were changed to the governors of the five provinces in the north.

    This old man is not easy to be fooled. The She'an Rebellion spread to several provinces, and he defeated more than 100,000 chieftain rebels successively.

    Of course, there are still a few remnants of the rebel army that have not been wiped out, and I don’t know if Guizhou will resume troubles after Zhu Xieyuan leaves.

    After the major event was finalized, Chongzhen said angrily: "Jiangxi General Soldier Yang Jiamo, in the name of suppressing thieves, led his troops to plunder villages and towns, but was captured alive by a group of farmers, which led to the fall of Fengcheng County. How to deal with this person?"

    Solving the problem is very difficult, but it is very simple to solve the people. The result of the discussion was quickly reached, and the Yang family was exiled into the army.

    However, Zhang Yinggao, who committed suicide and died for his country, died a heroic death because of his meritorious service in annihilating Qianshan and Nanfeng sect bandits.

    Shou Fu Wen Tiren, did not speak the whole time.

    The more this is the case, the more Wen Tiren won the emperor's trust, and he is already a great scholar of Jianji Temple, a young teacher and a prince and grand teacher, and the title of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

    Chongzhen asked again: "Yang Jiamo was captured alive by the rebels, who will be the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi?"

    Lin Qian was already dying of illness, so he didn't have so many scruples. He came out and said: "Jiangxi has a lot of waterways, and the water army should be used to suppress thieves. Zhu Guoxun, the deputy commander of Fujian, is good at water warfare, and he can be the commander of Jiangxi."

    Seeing that no one objected, and Chongzhen had no better choice, he nodded and said, "Yes."

    Three years ago, when Zheng Zhilong was promoted to guerrilla, Zhu Guoxun was also promoted to general manager.

    These officers in Fujian rose rapidly by fighting pirates. Zhu Guoxun was promoted from chief to deputy chief in three years, and now he is going to be promoted to chief of Jiangxi.

    Originally everything was agreed, Qian Shisheng suddenly said: "The Luling Zhao bandits are so difficult to suppress, can you try to appease him and let him lead troops north to help suppress the bandits?"

    Everyone was horrified. They didn't expect that there was someone in the cabinet who dared to talk nonsense.

    Chongzhen suddenly picked up a copy of "The Collection of Datong" and threw it at Qian Shisheng: "Look for yourself!"

    Qian Shisheng picked it up curiously, this bookExaminations and meeting examinations, adding military books, arithmetic and other subjects, and adding riding and shooting content after the rankings are released.

    Chongzhen actually agreed, he was really working hard.

    But it’s useless, because art of war and arithmetic are only taken in the second and third rounds of the imperial examination, and they are classified as science subjects such as official documents, criminal judgments, and policy theory.  However, the focus of the imperial examination is the liberal arts, which is mainly based on stereotyped essays, and the science subjects can at most be regarded as extra points.

    As for riding and archery, it will be determined after the exam is completed and the rankings are released. No matter how good the riding and archery martial arts are, it can only be reused at the discretion of the official.

    In any case, it can be considered a kind of progress.

    At least, Jinshi who is proficient in the art of war and martial arts can get promoted faster, unlike before who only read Confucius and Mencius articles.

    Then Chongzhen issued an imperial decree to announce it to the world.

    ?The general content is to admit that rebels everywhere were forced to rebel by corrupt officials.  As long as you sincerely repent, you can be forgiven.  After surrendering, the local government should not discriminate against those who return to their hometowns to farm. They should be called "rescue refugees" instead of "recruiting security and rebels".  Those with outstanding talents in "rescuing refugees" can be hired as officials by the governor and prime minister.

    Chongzhen finally compromised.

    Big thieves like Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong, and Zhao Han can serve as officials in the court as long as they sincerely repent.

    But which rebel would believe it?

    (The last chapter was not clearly written, and it has been corrected. The evaluation of military merits is recorded and reported by the military mission instructor, but it must be agreed with the military chief officer and military judge.) &lt;/div&gt

 Body 186【Bird Gun and Black Powder】

    In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the fifth day of the first lunar month.

    According to those who have good things, purple clouds are shrouded in the sky over Ji'an Mansion, and a black dragon is seen in the north, followed by five-color clouds.  It was night, but seeing the red light rushing out of the General Military Mansion, the roar of tigers and the roar of dragons could be heard endlessly, and all the weeping willows by the river pulled out new branches

    Well, without talking too much, Fei Rulan gave birth to a son smoothly.

    In the land of two prefectures and thirteen counties, the officials and the people rejoice.  They are really happy that the lord has an heir, and the cause of rebellion has become more stable.

    Of course, there were also countless gentry who cursed and expected Zhao Han's son to die young.

    ? But it seems that God is celebrating. This spring, the weather has been smooth and rainy. Two spring rains fell early, and finally the spring drought is no longer like the previous years.

    Just after the Lantern Festival, the sky suddenly became clear, and Zhao Han walked around the garden with the child in his arms.

    The guard came in and announced: "General Town, Song Sigong is asking to see you."

    "Please!" Zhao Han returned the child to the nanny.

    As for Fei Rulan, she is confinement at home.  At the beginning, the doors and windows were closed tightly, saying that there was no ventilation, so Zhao Han asked people to hang screens on the windows, and forced the windows to open for ventilation.

    Song Yingxing walked in quickly, followed by a subordinate, holding a brand new blunderbuss.

    Zhao Han happily said: "The bird gun has been made?"

    Song Yingxing cupped his hands and said: "Thirty guns have been made. Last year, many blacksmiths were making waist knives and gun heads. This year, some blacksmiths were recruited to hammer the gun body. At least 500 bird guns can be made a year."

    "It's still too little." Zhao Han said.

    "We can only cultivate apprentices slowly, as long as there are more craftsmen." Song Yingxing said.

    Zhao Han thought for a while and said: "Mianjia iron sheets and so on can be made by private iron factories, and official craftsmen will do their best to make firearms."

    Although Song Yingxing was in charge of the Public Works Department, his main energy was devoted to making bird guns and gunpowder, and he lived in Fenyi and Xinyu counties for a long time.  Tian Younian has been transferred to the deputy of the Public Works Department, but Tian Younian is in charge of the daily affairs of the Public Works Department.

    Now, Zhao Han has three weapons.

    One is located in the outskirts of Ji'an Prefecture, mainly making spears, bows and arrows, leather armor, and wooden shields.

    One is located in the Fenyi County Iron Works, which mainly makes waist knives, gun heads, and arrowheads.

    One is located in the Xinyu County Iron Works, which mainly makes iron sheets for cotton armor - chain mail cannot be made, and Song Yingxing does not know the wrought iron drawing technology.

    Zhao Han did not occupy all the iron mines, but allowed the local gentry to continue to operate their mines and iron factories.  In order to concentrate blacksmiths on making firecrackers, some simple work can be contracted out to private ironworks.  Especially the iron sheet of the cotton armor, there is no technical difficulty at all.

    Over the past few months, there have been more than 300 sets of cotton armor made by Weapons itself.

    Cotton armor can resist chopping and bows and arrows, but it has limited effect on stabbing, let alone defending against firecrackers.  That thing is actually a set of cotton clothes with iron sheets embedded on the surface, which is much lighter than traditional armor.

    At the same time, Tian Younian also gave a suggestion to recruit bamboo craftsmen to weave helmets.

    This kind of bamboo helmet can prevent arrows and knives.  Although the effect is limited, the advantage is that the cost is low and the manufacturing speed is very fast.  If you want to increase the defensiveness, you can also weave a few pieces of iron into it when fabricating.

    Zhao Han took the gun and said with a smile, "Come on, follow me to the school grounds outside the city."

    Observing while walking, this bird gun is nearly one meter long.  The gun barrel is thin at the front and thick at the back, and there is a trigger, which can move the ramie rope by pulling the trigger.

    Zhao Han pulled the trigger a few times before he understood how it worked.

    Ramie rope can burn slowly, and its function is similar to that of incense.  With this device, the matchlock gun does not need to be specially ignited, and the gunpowder can be ignited by pulling the trigger.

    This kind of bird gun should actually be called the Malacca matchlock gun.

    Zhao Han asked curiously: "How is the barrel made?"

    Song Yingxing explained: "First build the iron stiles, and then wrap the iron stiles with red-hot steel and beat them continuously. After many times of joints, the tubes can be formed. Then, the square steel cones are penetrated into the tubes and rotated to make the tube walls  If it is as smooth as a mirror, there will be no hindrance to the launch of the medicine.”

    Gradually approaching the school grounds, Zhao Han couldn't help asking: "It's not easy to explode, isn't it?"

    Song Yingxing could only say: "Sooner or later, the blunderbuss will explode, but the blunderbuss I made must be hundreds of times better than those made by the imperial court. First of all, it is better to use charcoal to make a furnace fire than coal. Secondly, the barrel of the blunderbuss  They are all made of steel, not wrought iron. Of course, if you put too much medicine, it may still explode."

    Song Yingxing didn't know how to smelt Sugang, but he knew the Guangnan irrigation method, which is the kind of group steel smelted in Foshan.

    "That's so troublesome," said Zhao Han, "if you don't train for a long timeIt is also endowed with different talents.  "

    Asshole fired the second bullet. Before Zhao Han crossed, he was considered a small shooting expert in the company, and he was fed with countless ammunition.

    However, Zhao Han was quite surprised that a musket like a birdcage could achieve such accuracy.

    Mainly due to the very long barrel, which is almost one meter long.

    Of course, the firecracker presented by Song Yingxing is a strictly crafted boutique.  If we increase manpower and increase production, even if the quality control is stricter, the overall quality will drop a lot.

    This kind of bird gun still has to be fired in rows, and it is difficult to achieve results by shooting individually.

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "This bird gun is not bad, it will belong to me from now on."

    The current senior generals in the army, the ones with the strictest rules and the best discipline are the troops trained by Li Zheng.

    Zhao Han decided to let Li Zhengtong lead the firearms battalion. There are only dozens of firearms for the time being, and there will be hundreds of them in a year.

    "Are there any raw materials for gunpowder?" Zhao Han asked.

    Song Yingxing replied: "Saltpeter must be purchased from Ningdu County, and there is no shortage of other raw materials."

    Ningdu County is adjacent to the southeast of Yongfeng County. Merchants who sell saltpeter can transport the goods to Xingguo County to take a small road, and then transport the goods to Ji'an along the Ganjiang River.

    There is also a more convenient route, all the way to Ganzhou, and then from Ganzhou to Ji'an.

    However, Ganzhou is tightly guarded and is not allowed to transport strategic materials such as saltpeter.

    Zhao Han urged: "Turn on the firecrackers. Craftsmen who do well and quickly can be promoted and rewarded for reuse. If there are craftsmen who can improve their craftsmanship, they will also be rewarded!" &lt;/div&gt

 Body 187 [Happy Gathering] (addition for the leader "cry lunatic")

    Mrs. Lou brought people from Jingxingyuan, including Fei Rumei, Zhao Zhenfang, Yingchun, Dongfu, etc., as well as Fei Chun's parents and younger brother (three years old).

    Of course, there is also Fei Yinghuan's youngest son, Fei Rugao, who is only two years old.

    The excuse for their trip was to move to Fujian and live with Fei Yinghuan, who was an official abroad.

    "Is that Nanchang City? The city walls are so high!" Fei Rumei is fifteen years old, she looks very similar to her sister, but her personality is more outgoing and lively.

    It’s no wonder that Fei Rumei was amazed. The Nanchang city wall is 9.3 meters high, excluding the three-component soil and stone foundation, and there is a 3.5-meter-deep city wall underground—you can’t dig a tunnel if you want to.

    In order to enhance the defense, the city gates were reduced to seven, and each gate was built with a urn, and each urn had a thousand-jin gate.

    As for the moat, it is 35 meters wide and 5 meters deep.

    If you want to attack the city, you must first fill in the moat. This is already a big project.

    If there is no internal response, it is impossible to break through Nanchang City!

    Zhao Zhenfang ran out and said, "Second Sister, Mother tells you not to run around, go back to the cabin quickly."

    Fei Rumei said: "I didn't run around, I just came out to see what's strange."

    "Go in quickly." Zhao Zhenfang said.

    Fei Rumei curled her lips, turned around and went back to the cabin, and took another look at Nanchang City with nostalgia.

    Zhao Zhenfang followed in and said with a smile, "Mother, the second sister is back."

    "Don't walk around here, go out after Nanchang." Lou urged.

    "Why?" Fei Rumei was rather curious.

    Lou did not want to explain, but said: "You will know in a few days."

    Zhao Zhenfang asked: "Mother, I heard that there are rebels in Ji'an Mansion, aren't we afraid of being robbed by rebels when we pass by Ji'an Mansion?"

    "Not afraid." Lou's smile was weird.

    Today's Zhao Zhenfang is very affectionate with Lou Shi, and has already treated Lou Shi as her own mother.

    Just because Lou himself treated her well, when the news of Zhao Han's incident came back, he treated her even more kindly.  Even in private, Jing Xingyuan's domestic slaves called Zhao Zhenfang "Miss Three".

    Zhao Zhenfang opened the porthole and silently watched the scenery on the shore.

    She couldn't wait to hear that her brother was also in Fujian, so she could finally be reunited with him.

    Encountering the Chaoguan in front, after queuing up to pay the money, the big ship finally passed smoothly, and Lou felt relieved.

    Next is Zhao Han's territory!

    Li Maofang, the governor of Jiangxi, has been recalled to Beijing, but his private banknotes are still there, and Ding Kuichu, the governor of the left, is very happy to collect the money.

    ?The new governor of Jiangxi and the governor of the five southern provinces, Zhu Xieyuan, is still in Guizhou, and it is estimated that he has not received any news.

    However, Zhu Guoxun, the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi, has already taken up his post, and went straight to Jiujiang by boat to take over the navy from Jiangzhou Bingbei.

    ? Zhu Guoxun used to fight naval battles in Fujian, accumulating military merits by fighting pirates, and was promoted to deputy commander in chief because of his participation in the destruction of Liu Xiang.  He naturally knows how to fight in water, and he looks down on the inland navy, thinking that defeating Zhao Han's navy is easy.

    At this moment, while he was practicing in Poyang Lake, he sent someone to contact Zheng Zhilong, hoping to buy some artillery to equip the ship.

    The officers, soldiers and rebels in Jiangxi are upgrading their weapons and equipment!

    When the boat docked at Fengcheng Wharf, Lou sent people ashore to buy food, and at the same time called Fei Lin and Ling.

    "Ma'am!" Fei Lin and his wife saluted respectfully.

    Lou smiled and said, "Sit down."

    "Mrs. Xie." The couple sat down carefully.

    Lou asked, "Do you know where this trip is going?"

    Ling replied: "Go to Fujian."

    Lou shook his head: "Go to Ji'an."

    "Ji'an is the territory of the rebels." Fei Lin said in surprise.

    The name of the Luling thief Zhao has long spread throughout Jiangxi.  What's more, the magistrate of Guangxin was defeated and killed, and only a few hundred of the more than 4,000 township braves fled back. The mention of Zhao thief on the Qianshan Mountain turned pale.

    Mrs. Lou smiled and said, "The thief Zhao from Luling is Brother Han."

    "HanBrother Han!" The couple were startled from ear to ear, staring at Lou with wide eyes.

    Lou said again: "Your son is a high-ranking official under Brother Han, who helps Brother Han manage money and food."

    Instead of feeling joyful, the couple was so startled that their bodies went limp, as if half of the sky had fallen.

    They are house slaves, even if they are ambitious, they will not be too greedy for money, and they will be the big stewards of Ehu Fei's family from now on.  Ling's family has been treated even more submissively, and her desire to be a wife has long been extinguished, and she will never call herself "Mrs. Ling" again.??!  She took her grandson, "What's the name of the child?"  "

    Fei Rulan replied: "It's less than a hundred days old, and I haven't taken a real name yet, so my nickname is 'Jun'er'."

    "Bun'er?" Lou didn't understand.

    "Let's talk about the firecrackers," Fei Rulan said helplessly, "Not long after Beloved was born, some of his subordinates offered firecrackers."

    Here the mother and daughter are talking, Zhao Han winks at his sister, Zhao Zhenfang suppresses the joy in her heart and just smiles.

    Fei Rumei finally came to her senses: "Sister, are you married to Brother Han? Then don't I want to call you brother-in-law?"

    "Don't you like it?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

    Fei Rumei smiled and said, "I like it very much, brother-in-law!" She turned to Zhao Zhenfang and said, "My sister has become your sister-in-law."

    Zhao Zhenfang hurriedly saluted: "I have seen my sister-in-law."

    "Eh!"

    Fei Rulan was very happy, took Zhao Zhenfang's hand, and put a jade bracelet on her.

    After everyone reminisced about the past, Fei Lin and Ling's couple were sent to Fei Chun's own mansion.

    Above the county magistrate level, they are all equipped with public houses to live in, either brought by the yamen, or snatched by the bullies.  These public houses cannot be bought or sold. After being transferred or resigned, they must be given up to the next one.

    Zhao Zhenfang doesn't care about any rebels, as long as she follows her brother.

    After walking around for a while, Zhao Zhenfang suddenly sighed sadly: "Such a beautiful house, if the eldest sister is still there."

    Zhao Han comforted and said, "I have already sent someone to look for it."

    Really already looking for it, Zhao Han asked someone to draw a portrait and asked Xu Ying to help inquire.

    The portrait will definitely be distorted, mainly relying on names and clues.

    Yangzhou, Zhenjiang, Nanjing, Jiujiang, and Nanchang all have Zhao Han's spies, and they are currently mainly trying their luck in these five cities.

    (Some book friends said that the cotton armor problem has been revised, but the iron sheet of the cotton armor can be inlaid on the outside.) &lt;/div&gt

 Text 188 [The unselfish speculator]

    The two little girls, Zhao Zhenfang and Fei Rumei, kept walking around the baby, always wanting to reach out to tease it.

    Lou's, Fei Rulan's mother and daughter went into the room to chat about the current situation and many rules of Ji'an Mansion.

    Not long after, Fei Ruhe also came and asked people to carry the luggage back to his house.  When the mother and younger sister came over, they must have lived with him. It was inconvenient for the mother-in-law to live with the son-in-law.

    "Brother, why is Gun'er sleeping all the time? He doesn't open his eyes to look at us." Zhao Zhenfang asked curiously.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "He only grows fast when he sleeps."

    So Zhao Zhenfang squatted down again and watched the baby sleep with Fei Rumei, but she didn't know what to watch.

    They sat and looked after their children, and Zhao Han sat and looked at them. The warm spring sun was shining, which was a good time of the year.

    The good times didn't last long, Xiao Huan came to see him and handed over some documents.

    Because Taihe County was destroyed by Sailubu, the population was seriously underpopulated, and many farmers had to be relocated there.  In the county seat, they were killed enough that some merchants and homeless people had to be moved there.  At the same time, the original farmers in the county, in addition to borrowing grain from grain banks at low interest rates, should also distribute some grain and seeds to survive.

    There is a lot of money and food involved in it, and the operation process is a bit chaotic, so the magistrate of Taihe took the opportunity to be greedy for money and food.

    Nest case!

    A total of 17 people were involved, from the magistrate to the clerk, to the mayor and the staff of the grain bank.

    And the irony is that most of the officials involved in corruption belonged to poor scholars, and one even came from a tenant farmer.  Those who came forward to report the matter came from the gentry class, and they belonged to the children of the rich family that Zhao Han least worried about.

    Zhao Han carefully looked at the disposal plan, and everything was done according to the rules. After signing and stamping, he said: "Pass it over to Mr. Pang, and let him re-appoint officials."

    Xiao Huan left with the documents, Zhao Han sighed and lay on the bamboo chair to bask in the sun.

    The territory has only expanded to thirteen counties, and there are more and more corruption cases. If they occupy the entire Jiangxi in the future, those guys will not be able to shake the sky?

    Fortunately, countless scholars want to climb up and like to report their bosses to make room.

    At this moment, Fei Chun is also very busy.

    This Taihe County nest case involved two staff members of the grain bank.  He decided to organize manpower to carry out a large-scale inspection of all food stores, and he would definitely be able to find a few more moths, and at the same time scare off those guys who wanted to stretch out their hands indiscriminately.

    Fei Lin and Ling waited and waited, but they couldn't wait for their son to come home, so they simply called the servants over.

    "There are only four servants in such a big house?" Ling asked with a frown.

    A maid said, "Just the four of us."

    Fei Lin asked, "Who is the butler?"

    No answer, no butler.

    Ling couldn't help sighing: "This idiot, he doesn't even know how to be a master, and he doesn't even have a housekeeper. You all report your names, and I will familiarize myself with them. By the way, from now on, you will be called Master and Madam. Don't be too big or small.  .”

    "My name is Zuo Cui."

    "My name is Liu Lishi."

    "My name is……"

    Ling suddenly interrupted: "Stop! What's my own, I have to call myself a slave from now on."

    Liu Lishi said: "Mr. Zhao is not allowed to keep slaves, and his servants are not allowed to call themselves slaves."

    Ling sneered: "What are you not slaves?"

    "Helper." Mrs. Liu replied.

    Fei Lin didn't speak any more, but secretly looked at Zuo Cui, and felt that this maid was not bad.

    Ling cleared her throat: "The Mr. Zhao you are talking about, I watched him grow up. He is a big man, and he is in charge of big things. He doesn't care about the small things in this house. My son doesn't know how to be the master.  If you get used to wildness, you must establish rules in the future. Your names must also be changed, and you will be surnamed Fei from now on, changing your surnames with the master's is the rule."

    The four helpers looked at each other.

    Liu Li said: "Madam, if you really want to change your surname, then I request to resign. Finish this month and leave after receiving your salary. Madam can hire another helper."

    "Hey, it's the other way around," Ling scolded, "Give me a slap!"

    No one did anything, and everyone felt that Ling was mentally retarded.

    Zhao Han is very strict about private slavery and abuse of servants. As long as he goes to the government to file a complaint, he must sue one by one and investigate one by one, taking the opportunity to suppress those disobedient gentry.

    Liu Lishi said: "Madam, my son is Mr. Zhao's soldier, and I can live without being a servant. Madam won't let me go. I will file a complaint with the government. It is impossible for me to change my surname."

    "Your son is a soldier, but my son is still an officer!"

    &; Chen Wenkui shouted immediately: "Take it away!"

    The couple were taken to the yamen in a daze. They were so scared that they forgot that their son was a high official.

    Entering the county government office to start the trial, the couple were so frightened that they knelt down at the same time.

    Chen Wenkui couldn't laugh or cry, and was even a little disappointed. He actually hoped that Fei Chun's parents would violently resist the law, so that he could show his selflessness.

    However, the parents of the dignified "Zhao Sicai" actually knelt down when they saw a county magistrate

    "My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!"

    The couple knelt in the lobby, kowtowing and begging for mercy.

    "Quickly stand up!"

    Chen Wenkui was so frightened that he quickly stood up and moved out of the way. The trial was the trial, and he didn't dare to be bowed down by Fei Chun's parents.

    The Yamen servant quickly helped them up.

    Soon, the master secretary and the criminal house master also came, and the presiding officer has arrived.

    Chen Wenkui sat down again and said, "Bring the plaintiff Liu Li!"

    Liu Lishi came to the lobby and stood quietly aside.

    "Hoo!"

    Chen Wenkui patted the gavel and said, "The plaintiff, Mrs. Liu Li Hey, why are you kneeling again?"

    It was Fei Lin and Ling's couple, whose knees were weakened by the blow of the gavel, and subconsciously knelt down together.  This time, not only Chen Wenkui stood up, but also the master secretary and the criminal house master, and hid to the side, not daring to accept their kneeling.

    Ling Shi not only knelt down by himself, but also scolded Liu Li Shi next to him: "You scumbag, you still don't kneel down when you see the official!"

    Liu Li stood up and said: "My son is a missionary officer in the military. He often goes home and says that all people are created equal. If you kneel to the sky and kneel to your parents, you don't need to kneel to be an official."

    In the following trial process, Fei Lin and Ling were held up by the yamen servants throughout the whole process, otherwise they would still want to kneel down.

    There is nothing to judge, Ling was punished twenty times, because she is a woman, she does not have to take off her trousers to be beaten.  And, for Fei Chun's sake, he was beaten very lightly during execution.

    In addition, three months' wages of Mrs. Liu and Li must be compensated, and the two parties terminated the employment contract in advance.

    In the middle of the trial, Fei Chun rushed over after hearing the news. It was inconvenient for him to go in and disturb him, so he walked into the lobby after the trial was over.

    Chen Wenkui immediately stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Zhao Sicai, you have offended the elders."

    Of course Fei Chun was angry in his heart, and said coldly, "Chen County Prime Minister is stern and selfless, I admire you so much."

    Chen Wenkui was disappointed again that Fei Chun didn't explode on the spot.

    However, Ling's screamed. Seeing that Chen Wenkui was very respectful to her son, she immediately cried, "Chun'er, you have to make decisions for your mother"

    "Let's go back and talk about it!"

    Fei Chun was so upset that he couldn't help scolding his mother.

    (I saw that there are still book friends discussing the cotton armor. According to Qi Jiguang, the cotton armor can defend against firecrackers shooting at 40 steps, but it will definitely be pierced by firecrackers at a distance of 30 steps.) &lt;/div&gt

 Text 189 [Out of the boudoir]

    Fei Chun has been really busy these days. From last winter to the spring plowing season, he didn't even have a good rest during the Chinese New Year.

    Moreover, he didn't know when his parents would come. He was busy with work and forgot that his parents' character would cause trouble.

    On the way home, Ling babbled all the way, complaining that her son had become a high-ranking official and didn't even have a sedan chair.

    Fei Chun sighed helplessly, called his husband on the side of the road, called two sedan chairs, and let his parents go home on a pole.

    Many great Confucians in ancient and modern times opposed such things as sedan chairs, thinking that people were treated like cattle and horses.

    Zhao Han, who advocates equality for all, allows the existence of sedan chairs and sliding poles instead.  He even created an industry that allows unemployed vagrants to register with the government, and only need to pay a small fee to carry passengers with sliders to make money.

    It can be understood as a rickshaw or a taxi.

    It can not only generate income for the government, but also alleviate urban employment.

    It was the first time that Fei Lin and Ling's couple had been carried away after living for decades, and they immediately felt better.

    Ling said: "Chun'er, call for another palanquin, how can you go back as an official? Don't be too shabby and be looked down upon by others."

    Fei Chun had no choice but to explain: "Mother, if there is no need, Brother Han can also walk by himself. Brother Han has many rules, no slaves are allowed in the house, and no servants are allowed to be abused. Also, you don't want to make troubles in the future.  The first time I was only fined, and if I commit another crime, the crime will be increased! If someone comes to the house to ask for a gift, no matter how much the gift is, they cannot accept it, otherwise I will not know when I will be beheaded."

    Beheading?

    Ling Shi was suddenly too frightened to speak.

    Fei Lin asked: "You and Brother Han are very good, and you will be beheaded if you take some money?"

    Fei Chun said: "If you are greedy, you will be fined and demoted. If you are greedy, you will go to the mountains to dig mines. If you are greedy, you will be beheaded! It doesn't matter which one you choose."

    Fei Lin muttered: "This is not okay, that is not okay, even raising a maid is not okay, why are you rebelling?"

    Fei Chun couldn't explain clearly for a while, so Fei Chun could only say: "Father, mother, you just need to remember that if you accept gifts indiscriminately, your son's official position will not be guaranteed, and his head will be easy to move."

    The couple were so frightened that they didn't even dare to talk nonsense.

    Back home, Fei Chun explained the rules in detail, what must be paid attention to and what cannot be violated, and took out five taels of silver to buy clothes for his parents.

    Ling asked: "Chun'er, what is your current salary?"

    "The monthly salary is twelve liang." Fei Chun replied.

    Fei Lin retorted: "This Brother Han is really stingy. The big shopkeeper of Fei's Trading Company has a monthly salary of ten taels, and he can even share dividends at the end of the year."

    Fei Chun sighed: "The official salary is already very high, I wish it could be lowered."

    Why?

    Because Fei Chun is in charge of money and food, he has already been devastated.

    Zhao Han paid high salaries to officials. Fei Chun's monthly salary of 12 taels of silver, if converted according to the grain price of Ji'an Prefecture, was equivalent to that of a fourth-rank official of the Ming court.

    Of course, grain prices fluctuate. Ji'an Prefecture has had a bumper harvest in the past two years, and grain prices are relatively low.

    If there is a catastrophic year, Fei Chun's salary may drop directly from the fourth rank to the sixth rank compared with that of Ming officials.

    In addition, there are charcoal fire subsidies in winter, and paper and ink subsidies for officials above the county magistrate.

    No matter what, as long as there is no extravagance and waste, it is no problem for Fei Chun to support the whole family with his salary, and he can also hire a few servants to do housework-if there are many servants, they will definitely not be able to afford it.

    Compared with the Ming Dynasty, not only the salaries of officials have been increased, but the wages of officials have also generally increased.

    This is also the reason why Fei Chun kept complaining, saying that he couldn't afford to support so many officials, and kept asking for the reduction of township yamen.

    To support so many officials, you have to pay!

    When Zhu Yuanzhang started his business, even at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, he could not afford the salaries of officials.  So a temporary policy was formulated. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there were many barren fields, and the land was directly given to officials to open up wasteland, and the harvested grains were used as salaries.

    Pang Chunlai, Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun and others all hoped to return to Qianshan County as soon as possible.

    Because they know that there is an open-pit copper mine in Lead Mountain County!

    During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, the largest coinage center in the country was called "Yongpingjian", and its address was Yongping Town, Qianshan County, where copper mines have been mined since the Western Han Dynasty.

    In addition, Yongpingjian's raw materials for casting coins come from Qianshan Field (Yongping Town) and Dexing Field (Dexing County).

    The Dexing Copper Mine, after more than a thousand years of mining, is still the largest open-pit copper mine in Asia!

    Zhu Yuanzhang's earliest minting institution??, but I will not quit my job.  You can ask your wife to change the document, come to work early every day, and go home at night to live your own life.  "

    Yingchun joked: "I also said that I didn't want to go, and I even thought about the life after marriage."

    Dong Fu was too ashamed to speak, but just walked forward sullenly.

    In Zhao Han's territory, there is no need to worry about the law and order. Thieves and beggars are prohibited.  These are all labor forces, and they cannot be idled and wasted. The three weapons institutes can absorb a lot, and there is a lot of rough work without any technical content.

    Before arriving at school, Zhao Zhenfang ran into a female classmate on the way.  I don't know which family the young lady is, escorted by two servants, one male and one female.

    There is a plaque at the gate of the girls' school. Zhao Zhenfang looked up and saw the four characters "Saomei College".

    "What does sweeping eyebrows mean?" Fei Rumei was a little confused.

    Zhao Zhenfang smiled and said: "Have you forgotten? The girls' school books by the Wanli Bridge, and the loquat flowers live behind closed doors. Talented people who sweep their eyebrows know as much as they can lead the spring breeze. We have learned this poem before, and a talented person who sweeps eyebrows is a talented woman."

    Fei Rumei immediately recalled and exclaimed: "Oh, this allusion comes from Xue Tao, Xue Tao is a woman of music."

    "My second brother abolished his music registration." Zhao Zhenfang pointed to the plaque and said.

    Fei Rumei took a closer look, and it turned out that the words "Saomei Academy" were inscribed by Zhao Han himself.

    ? Regardless of the male or female servants, they were blocked at the school gate. Yingchun and Dongfu came to register their children, and they were specially allowed to enter.

    The inside is quiet and quiet, and female students can be seen occasionally.

    Even the teacher is a woman from a wealthy family, and there is no male creature in the whole school.

    "Gee, ge, ge"

    A string of silver bell-like laughter came, and Zhao Zhenfang looked through the corridor, but there were a few female students kicking shuttlecocks.

    Fei Rumei said happily: "I like this place, there are many playmates to play with."

    Zhao Zhenfang said with a smile: "It's very lively, much more interesting than staying at home."

    Zhao Han does not shout the slogan of equality between men and women now, but just tries to do something to let women out of the boudoir.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 190 [Supervisor’s Means] (addition to the leader “v Nima`` ratio)

    ,

    Zhu Xieyuan, governor of the five provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and southern Hunan, and governor of Jiangxi, finally arrived in Nanchang in early May.

    Moreover, they came with a thousand soldiers from Guizhou!

    This gentleman is over seventy years old. He placed his own soldiers in Nankang Fucheng, pretended to train soldiers in the barracks, and secretly brought a few relatives to visit in private, mainly to investigate the situation of gentry, merchants and farmers.

    From Nankang Mansion to Nanchang Mansion, Zhu Xieyuan suddenly appeared in Nanchang Mansion and summoned Chen Yuding, the censor of Jiangxi Province.

    At the same time, a thousand soldiers stationed in Nankang quickly appeared outside Nanchang.

    These Guizhou guest soldiers did not commit any crimes all the way.

    Two days later, Zhu Xieyuan summoned officials from the Third Division of Jiangxi Province.  Ding Kuichu, the chief minister of the left, Zhang Bingwen, the chief minister of the right, Wu Shiliang, the inspector, and Chen Guozhong, the commander, came to see him one after another.

    The four sat on top chairs, and Zhu Xieyuan walked in without waiting for a long time.

    "This is the Shangfang sword bestowed by His Majesty." Zhu Xieyuan uttered the first sentence and slapped the Shangfang sword on the table.

    The chief officer of the Jiangxi Third Division hurriedly got up to straighten his clothes, and kowtowed to Shangfang's sword.

    This thing is used to deal with generals, but the meaning of Zhu Xieyuan's taking it out at this moment is self-evident.

    Zhu Xieyuan immediately said the second sentence: "Jiangxi is full of thieves and bandits. As the governor of five provinces, I can act cheaply under the emperor's order."

    The chief officer of the third department quickly said yes, and he began to feel uneasy, and even Wu Shiliang, who was in his eighties, became energetic.

    Zhu Xieyuan uttered the third sentence: "Suppressing the thieves and reassuring the people is not a single statement. Only suppressing the thieves and disturbing the people will lead to more and more thieves and bandits."

    "The supervisor has a good opinion, and what he said is true." Ding Kuichu quickly flattered him.

    Zhu Xieyuan said the fourth sentence: "Privately set up banknotes, immediately revoke. The extra money that has been collected this year does not need to be imported into Beijing, and the money that has not been collected does not need to urge the people. Your Majesty, I will present it to you."  Tell the truth, or transfer me away, or do things according to my way."

    Jiangxi's additional silver this year is a full amount of 360,000 taels.  Due to the rebellion of the rebels, the franchise was reduced to 200,000 taels.

    ?Compared to this, it is not a lot. The people in Henan are really suffering. This year, they have been sent an additional 660,000 taels.

    "However," Ding Kuichu wondered, "the suppression of thieves in the north is paid by the imperial court, while the suppression of thieves in Jiangxi is all self-financed. If the additional banknotes are cancelled, I am afraid there will not be enough money and food for training troops."

    "boom!"

    Zhu Xieyuan brought up the Shangfang sword and slapped it on the table again: "I don't want to check how much tariffs and taxes (land and market taxes) the chief secretary has collected. The two chief envoys, please try to raise food and payment as much as possible."

    Ding Kuichu shrank his head sharply, and clasped fists with Chen Bingwen: "We will definitely cooperate with all our strength!"

    After Zhu Xieyuan complained again, he told the officials of the third division to leave.

    Three days later, the official opening of the government recruited assistant officials and aides, all of whom were recommended by Chen Yuding, the inspector censor.

    Zhao Han had three internal advisers in Nanchang, among them Xu Ying and Wang Tingshi, both entered the governor's shogunate.

    Of course, Xu Ying is only a peripheral member, not even a temporary worker's salary.  Like Liu Tongsheng, Xiao Puyun, Zuo Xiaocheng and other fugitive scholars, he was only responsible for providing relevant intelligence information to Zhu Xieyuan.

    Wang Tingshi was Zhu Xieyuan's guest, and was relied on as his right-hand man.

    However, Wang Tingshi's military power was taken away, and all the 2,000 township warriors were assigned to Zhu Xieyuan for training.

    Governor's Palace.

    Many staff members gathered together.

    "This governor has just arrived in Jiangxi, and I have to rely on you for various affairs," Zhu Xieyuan said, clasping his fists. "If there is anything wrong, please let me know."

    "Don't dare!"

    All the scholars hurriedly bowed.

    Zhu Xieyuan took out a copy of "Datong Collection" and said: "I have been an official for decades, and I have appeased tens of thousands of weavers who rioted against taxes, wiped out the Bailian believers, and put down the rebellion of the chieftains of Sichuan and Guizhou. Like the Luling Zhao thief, the former  If you have never met, tell me, what else did Bandit Zhao do?"

    Chen Heming, a fugitive scholar, said: "I would like to report to the supervisor, that thief Zhao is really hateful. The acres of land accumulated by my Chen family for several generations, regardless of indiscriminate injustice, are all given to the treacherous people. Such a perverse behavior, sooner or later will be condemned by God!"

    "I know about this," Zhu Xieyuan asked again, "What else?"

    Xiao Puyun clasped his fists and said: "This thief cancels the household registration distinction set by Emperor Taizu, confuses civilian households, artisan households, music households, and military households, and even forces the rich to release their slaves."

    Zhu Xieyuan asked again: "What else?"

    Zuo Xiaocheng said: "What kind of missionary group did this thief come up with? They are prostitutes, family members, etc.He, who is in charge of military affairs, was originally the Shangshu of the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty.  You Tian Younian, who was in charge of fortifications, was originally the magistrate of Yuanzhou in the Ming Dynasty.  The rest of the officials are either promoted locals, or have changed their names.  "

    Zuo Xiaocheng said: "The person who is in charge of punishment for Zhao thief is called Zuo Xiaoliang. He is a distant relative who was born late. This person is just a poor scholar, and he is not as good as me in poetry and literature. It doesn't seem that he is very capable. Zhao thief relies on him as his arm.  , it can be seen that there are no real talents available."

    Next, more than a dozen scholars reported the rebel officials they knew.

    Zhu Xieyuan frowned when he heard this, and suddenly said: "Who is willing to sneak back to Zhao's territory, no matter what means are used, to instigate the rebellion of your old friends as an internal response?"

    The audience was dead silent, no one spoke.

    After a long silence, Xiao Puyun said: "You can send your slaves back."

    "You can give it a try." Zhu Xieyuan didn't hold out hope. Sending slaves to instigate rebellion is really insincere, only a fool would believe it.

    After half a month.

    Zhu Xieyuan put Nanchang prefect and Nankang prefect under house arrest at the same time. After confiscating a large amount of money, he jointly reported the amount of silver that was confiscated to the imperial court together with Yushi Chen Yuding.

    The affairs of the two prefectures are temporarily represented by Tongzhi.

    At the same time, the prefectures in Jiangxi were ordered to list the names of the counties in the treasury.  The taxes in the county must be transported into the warehouse by the county magistrate himself, and sealed, and transported to the Chief Secretary for dismantling and inspection by Zhu Xieyuan himself.  Officials at the first level of the government are only responsible for transporting taxes, and cannot really handle money and food—if they want to be greedy for money, there is only one way to do it.

    After rectifying the administration of officials and stabilizing the money and food, Zhu Xieyuan began to reorganize the army. The salaries of the soldiers must be supervised and distributed by the governor himself.

    He also formulated dozens of military regulations, killing chickens to make an example of monkeys, and Jiangxi officers and soldiers were awe-inspiring.

    Next, Zhu Xieyuan suddenly disappeared, giving the outside world the illusion that he was training soldiers.  In fact, he took his confidants and guides to Zhao's territory and personally surveyed various terrains and environments. Zhu Xieyuan never fought unprepared battles.

    Zhao Han received a sealed report from Xu Ying and Wang Tingshi, and felt that he was in trouble this time.

    (Thanks to the temporary vacancy, the leader of the book friend 20210617003015576 for the reward, and also thank all the book friends for the reward and subscription.

 Text 191 [Landscape Shape Wins]

    When Zhu Xieyuan exterminated the chieftains in Guizhou, he also went to survey the terrain himself.

    What is marked on the map and what the spies say is not as real as seeing it with your own eyes.  Only when you have actually been to that place can you have a clear understanding of the terrain of the war.

    Of course, it is too dangerous to go to the territory of the rebels, so Zhu Xieyuan pretended to be training soldiers, and even his aide Wang Tingshi didn't know that he had left Nanchang.

    This guy disguised himself as an old man who was going to Guangdong to visit his relatives, boarded a merchant ship transporting porcelain, and observed the topography of both sides of the strait along the way.

    "My lord, there is Jinshui, leading to Shanggao County and Wanzai County," the guide was recommended by Chen Yuding, the inspector censor, who is familiar with Jiangxi's geography.  Get off the boat in Zai County, and then cross the mountains and ridges to take Yichun. Yichun is the territory of the sweeping king"

    Zhu Xieyuan interrupted: "Isn't Yichun the territory of the thief Zhao?"

    The guide corrected and said: "No, Yichun, Pingxiang, and Yongxin counties are all the territories of the king of sweeping the land. If the Zhao bandits can't be wiped out quickly, they can also take back the four counties of Fengcheng, Qingjiang, Fenyi, and Xinyu first, so that the Zhao bandits  Lost a lot of business taxes and iron ore."

    Zhu Xieyuan nodded in approval, and at the same time he paid more attention to the navy in his heart, and he had to march along the river in Jiangxi.

    ? At that time, Chen Youliang occupied the entire territory of Jiangxi, and Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to eat Chen Youliang, but he had to win the Poyang Lake water battle.

    Zhu Xieyuan pointed to the east bank and asked: "I see there is another river within the bank. What kind of river is that?"

    The guide replied: "That is the old road of Fuhe River. Starting from Nanchang along the old road of Fuhe River, you can head southwest to the rear of Fengcheng County. You can send a strange army to go day and night and hide in the mountains in the southeast of Fengcheng County as an ambush.  From Nanchang to the southeast along the old course of the Fuhe River, you can enter the current Fuhe River, and then turn into a tributary after reaching Fuzhou. You can send troops to cross the mountains, take Yongfeng County and Jishui County directly, and attack the base lairs of the rebels."

    Suddenly, a merchant ship passes by a bustling estuary town.

    Zhu Xieyuan asked, "What town is this?"

    The guide replied: "Xigang Town, this small river is a tributary of the old course of the Fuhe River. Although it is just a small river, when the flood occurs, this is the only river channel connecting the Ganjiang River and the Fuhe River in the south of Nanchang, so it is at the mouth of the river.  There are several flood gates specially set up."

    Go another ten miles and you will arrive at Fengcheng County.

    The merchant ship did not dock, and arrived at Zhangshu Town, where it finally stopped to supply drinking water and food.

    Zhu Xieyuan did not dare to disembark, but hid in the cabin, took out a map to digest what he saw and heard today.

    The next day, after the merchant ship set sail, Zhu Xieyuan continued to go out to observe.

    This section of the waterway is very magnificent, with mountains on both sides, and the Ganjiang River passing through it.

    Pointing to Xingan County, the guide said: "Occupying this city, you can control the north and the south. Grandpa Yue and Han Shizhong used to train troops here. Moreover, if you send troops from Xingan County, you can bypass the riverside mountains and directly attack Xiajiang County by land.  , Jishui County."

    The more Zhu Xieyuan looked at it, the more he had a headache. He couldn't figure it out with only a map. Only by observing it on the spot did he know how terrible it was.

    Jiangxi's mountains and rivers are too suitable for war, and there are too many places for military strategists to fight for.

    If you want to conquer the rebels, Linjiang Fucheng must be defeated, but it is very difficult to attack by force.

    Even if Linjiang Mansion is taken down, Zhao Thieves can still guard Xingan County.

    ? Even if Xingan County is taken down, Zhao Thief can still guard Jiajiang County, Jishui County, and Ji'an Fucheng, all of which are stuck in the mountains and rivers.

    Moreover, due to the mountains all over the place, the marching route of officers and soldiers is very single.  Even if you can send surprise soldiers to go around, you can only send a small group of surprise soldiers, because you have to go over mountains and mountains to go around.

    The officers and soldiers have a single marching route, which means that the Zhao thieves are very easy to defend.

    Thieves Zhao can avoid water battles, hide the navy, guard the city, and wait for work at leisure.  When the officers and soldiers were exhausted, the waterways advanced side by side, killing the officers and soldiers and fleeing in embarrassment.

    Zhu Xieyuan thought to himself: You can't fight city by city, you must lure the rebels out to fight a decisive battle.  Otherwise, if we fight an offensive and defensive war with the rebels, we will not be able to wipe out the rebels after ten years.

    The cities along the river in Jiangxi are too outrageous. Those small county towns are all built beyond specifications.

    The main reason is that there are frequent floods, which can easily damage the county seat.  Every time the county seat is destroyed, funds are raised to repair it, and then it is built more magnificent and stronger.  The defensiveness of the county seat here far exceeds that of most state cities in other provinces!

    Can't fight, really can't fight offensive and defensive battles.

    All the way down south, he entered the cabin when he landed, and got out of the cabin when he left the shore. Zhu Xieyuan arrived in Wan'an County a few days later.

    Seeing the scale of Wan'an County and the towering mountains on both sides of the river ahead, Zhu Xieyuan only felt his scalp tingling.

    According to the tour guideXieyuan sighed, "When I first came to Jiangxi, I found that the officers and soldiers were very difficult to use. They had to train for at least a year before they could fight. Moreover, the soldiers in Hunan were not formed into an army and could not form a three-sided encirclement. Once they attacked by force, there was no chance of winning. Only the city of Linjiang  , I will have to besiege the army for several months.”

    Zou Weilian said: "The government trains soldiers, but the rebels don't train soldiers? The longer the delay, the stronger the Zhao thief will become. His territory has been harvested year after year, and the government's jurisdiction is hard to describe!"

    "Do you have a confidant who can restrain the soldiers?" Zhu Xieyuan asked.

    Zou Weilian shook his head and said: "No, these Fujian generals are used to being arrogant and domineering. They were all involved in smuggling before, and they have always ignored the imperial court."

    Zhu Xieyuan was even more troubled, he wanted Zou Weilian to divide his troops.

    No matter how many Fujian soldiers are stationed in Ganzhou, it will not be possible to attack Wan'an County.  One-third can be divided to go to Fuzhou by detour. Jiangxi officers and soldiers can also send some to join forces and attack Yongfeng County from the east over the mountains.

    But in the current situation, let alone the division of the Fujian army, I am afraid that if they gather together, they will cause trouble.

    It is so difficult to be the supervisor of Daming, and he is very hard-working, and only one point can be used for fighting.

    What are you going to do with the rest of your mind?

    To deal with Emperor Chongzhen, court battles, local civil servants, domineering generals, eunuchs overseeing the army, and powerful gentry, they had to rack their brains to raise money and food.

    As for the rebels, it is enough to rebel wholeheartedly.

    Just when Zhu Xieyuan was going south all the way, surveying the terrain along the river.  Zhao Han, the rebel, had already dispatched troops in advance, not to attack the government, but to attack the sweeping king.

    ? Pingxiang County must be taken, and if you occupy the pass of Pingxiang County, you can block more than half of Huguang officers and soldiers, so as to ensure the safety of your rear.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 192 [A Group of Weak Chickens]

    ,

    Huguang, Liuyang County.

    The county magistrate is named Feng Zuwang, the son of Feng Menglong, the author of "Three Words", and the disciple of Xue Fujiao, the eight gentlemen of Donglin.

    Because of his father, Feng Zuwang was deeply influenced by Li Zhi's thoughts.  On the one hand, he advocates helping the world and saving the people, on the other hand, he is cynical, and his life is extremely tangled and painful.

    Feng Zuwang was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Chongzhen, and his first official position was the magistrate of Liuyang County.

    ?After taking office, Feng Zuwang cared about the sufferings of the people, visited the fields in person, and wrote an article "Eight Difficulties and Seven Suffering Talks", reflecting the various sufferings suffered by the people of Liuyang.  In his writing, the land in Liuyang is very barren. The yield of many paddy fields is only 1 shi per mu, and the yield of the top fields does not exceed 3 shi per mu.

    ? First, the imperial court increased its dispatch in an all-round way, and then Pingxiang County next door was occupied by that sweeping king.

    Feng Zuwang, a scholar who doesn't understand anything, can only try his best to raise food and salaries, and recruit village bravery just in case.

    This summer, the sweeping king really came, and he came here to rob summer grain!

    "Honorable County, the rebels have been tricked!" A scholar rushed over happily.

    Feng Zuwang is a 46-year-old Jinshi, and he is 51 years old this year.  When he saw the thieves coming from the foot of the mountain chasing and killing the defeated soldiers, he immediately drew out his scribe sword: "Fathers and elders, follow me to kill the thieves!"

    One thousand and two hundred Xiangyong suddenly rushed out from the mountains and rushed towards the enemy three times his own.

    King Sweeper did not plunder Liuyang himself, this time he came to "fly to the sky".

    Flying to the sky was also very depressed. He led the crowd to attack Liuyang County twice, but they were defeated and returned home.  This time I finally met officers and soldiers in the wild, so I naturally wanted to chase them down. After chasing them, I lost my mind and forgot that there was a dense forest in front of me.

    "kill!"

    ?The brave men in Liuyang Township are as powerful as a rainbow. They belong to defend their hometown and protect their own fields and food.  These rebels who crossed the border from Jiangxi, burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes have already aroused public anger in Liuyang.

    More than 3,000 rebels were ambushed by more than 1,000 Xiangyong, and they turned around in a panic and fled.

    Fifty-one-year-old Feng Zuwang was out of breath when he ran out of the forest.  He was also embarrassed to stop, gritted his teeth and chased after him, and finally caught up with a traitor who fell into the rice field.

    Before Feng Zuwang could make a move, two Xiangyongs already stabbed the traitor to death with their bamboo spears.

    There was a small river in front of the rebels. In a panic, many rebels jumped into the river to escape, and many others fled southeast along the river bank.

    The thief flew into the sky for the first time, and now he was jumping anxiously. He found that there were not many chasing Xiangyong, and they had already dispersed.  At this time, as long as you bring more than a hundred people, you can turn around and kill those Xiangyong, but there are only a dozen or so old thieves around you who are willing to obey.

    However, I saw a brave officer of the village, holding a hundred-smelting steel knife in his hand, stepping on the ridge of the field with incomparable speed.

    Flying to the sky and seeing this person coming alone, he immediately shouted: "Go back and kill that guy!"

    However, only six old thieves were obedient, and the rest chose to continue running for their lives.

    With one enemy seven, the officer of the village brave officer was not afraid, but rushed along the field ridge.  Six old thieves jumped into the field and flew up to the sky to surround and kill this person. The two sides were about to collide in a blink of an eye.

    At this time, the rice is still immature, and the tip of the rice that has just headed has grown to the height of a person's waist.

    The officer of the township brave jumped into one side of the rice field, kept pushing aside the rice stalks, and rushed forward with his bare feet stepping on the muddy water.  Bailian steel knife brandished, slashed an old thief to death, turned around and slashed to death the second traitor.

    "Run!"

    The rest of the old thieves were shocked when they saw this, dropped the thief leader and flew into the sky, turned around and fled.

    Flying to the sky, he was already on the top, ignoring the pursuers in the distance, and even jumped into the rice field, wanting to fight the village officer.

    "when!"

    The two sides quickly slashed across the rice.

    It's a pity that it is not so convenient to fly in the paddy field with shoes on your feet.  The officer of the village brave pushed aside the rice, and soon came to his side, and flew into the sky with great effort to lift his foot, directly tearing off a shoe.

    A sword flashed, and flew into the sky with a colorful left arm.

    The Xiangyong officer moved again, and he had already circled behind Fei Shangtian, and made another slash at an extremely fast speed.

    Flying to the sky, suffering from pain and falling down, crushed several nests of rice, but did not die immediately.  This guy struggled to get up, but before he could stand still, he was slashed to the neck with a knife.

    The officer of the township brave stepped over and cut off the head, held up his head and shouted: "Liuyang Wang Hui, behead the thief here!"

    For a few people, the Jiangxi rebels entered Huguang, and it was the time to make contributions.

    Feng Zuwang led his troops to chase all the way, and was so tired that he stuck out his tongue. When he heard that Wang Hui had captured the leader of the thief, he immediately lay down on the ground and laughed.

    theHis soldiers also quickly rushed out from the mountain, and the bandits could only flee to the mountains to the west.

    Nine-headed Niao didn't care about carrying the goods, but let each of his confidantes take dozens of taels of silver, and then fled to the mountains to the west in horror.

    "kill!"

    Following the pursuit of Datong soldiers, one after another the bandits knelt down and surrendered.

    There are only a few roads into the mountain, and all of them are very narrow.  The thieves huddled together, all suspected that the friendly army was blocking their way, and even started to kill each other.

    "Get out of my way!"

    Nine-headed bird is also killing people. He has more than thirty confidantes around him, and each of them holds dozens of taels of silver in their arms.

    Moreover, they were wearing leather armor and had better weapons in their hands. While fleeing for their lives, they hacked at allies blocking the way, and there were corpses everywhere they passed.

    Finally, a bandit saw the nine-headed bird killing him and shouted wittily in fright: "If you kill the nine-headed bird, go to Zhao Tianwang to ask for credit!"

    "Kill the nine-headed bird!"

    "Kill the nine-headed bird!"

    Up and down the mountain, the rebels roared one after another, and Nine-headed Bird and more than thirty confidantes were blocked in the middle.

    Suddenly, a confidant slashed out with a knife, and the nine-headed bird was hacked to death by his own soldiers before he could react.

    "The nine-headed bird is dead, I killed it!"

    This man cut off the head of the nine-headed bird, and suddenly he was stabbed in the back, and he was also killed in a daze.

    The killer snatched the head, waved the weapon frantically, and quickly climbed to the nearby cliff while the friendly troops retreated.  This guy threw away his weapon, hugged the head of the nine-headed bird, and slid down the steep mountain wall.

    "Quickly grab your head!"

    Inexplicably, many thieves came down the mountain one after another, trying to snatch the head of the nine-headed bird.

    There were also many thieves who took the opportunity to escape into the mountains and fled across the mountains to the direction of Huguang.  They dare not stay here, Zhao Tianwang is too scary, even go to Huguang to rebel.

    When Jiang Dashan led his troops to chase after him, a group of rebels were fighting at the foot of the mountain, just to snatch the head.

 Text 193 [Yasha Heavenly Soldiers] (addition for the leader "Shangxian Qitian")

    ,

    After taking Yongxin County, Jiang Dashan immediately divided his troops to block the mountain passages in Huguang and Jiangxi, and asked the General Military Office to send officials and mission groups over.

    Another half a month later, a scholar who looked like a beggar fled to Ji'an Fucheng to report: Yongning (Jinggangshan City) bandits escaped and ran across mountains and mountains to Ling County (Yanling County) in Huguang. Please send someone to Yongning as soon as possible.  County subfields.

    It is false to divide the land, but it is true to seek Zhao Han's asylum.

    There is no harm without comparison. The gentry in Luling, Jishui and other counties felt that Zhao Han was like a big devil.  The gentry in Yichun, Yongxin and other counties have long been looking forward to Zhao Han's passing. At least Zhao Han wants Tian to die, and the other rebels want everything!

    Regarding this, Zhao Han couldn't laugh or cry.

    Yongning County is not the territory of Sweeping King, and Zhao Han never thought of taking it, because this place is poor and remote, Zhao Han and Sweeping King look down on it.

    Now, Zhao Han sent troops to attack Yongxin County, and actually scared away the rebels in Yongning County next door

    It is also possible that the Yongning rebels felt that this place was too poor, and it was not safe to be next to Zhao Han, so they simply ran to Huguang to plunder a more affluent place.

    Since Yongning County has become a land without an owner, and the people sincerely belong to it, Zhao Han can only reluctantly accept it.  It is really difficult, such a poor place has to spend officials and missionary groups to manage it, and the tax revenue is probably not enough to support the local officials.

    Zhao Han thought about it, discussed it with Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua, and decided to set up only three towns in Yongning County, and the farmers could share more fields—there are too many barren mountainous lands there!

    The current acres of land are completely sufficient, and the surrounding rebels have harmed the counties, not only killing most of the landlords and fleeing, but also causing a sharp drop in the civilian population.  In Luling, Jishui and other counties, the surplus population can be relocated there, and Zhao Han has more than enough land in an instant.

    It's just that money and food are stretched, after all, it costs a lot to migrate people.

    The commercial taxes in Linjiang Mansion, Ji'an Mansion, and Zhangshu Town, the iron mines, iron factories, and porcelain kilns in Xinyu County and Fenyi County, as well as the three consecutive years of bumper harvests, all made Zhao Han a lot of money.

    However, there has been a shortage of money and food, because he does not exploit the people, but also pays officials and soldiers full salaries.

    Fei Chun, who was in charge of money and food, was almost out of breath

    ? Yuanzhou Fucheng.

    Like Jiang Dashan, Li Zheng did not choose to attack by force.

    Moreover, he was more ruthless than Jiang Dashan, leaving only 500 people guarding the other side of the river.  Ships are allowed to come and go every day, and flags are planted all over the barracks, creating the illusion of increasing troops.

    The rest of the troops quietly left at night and went straight to Pingxiang County further west.

    The Datong navy blocked the river, and the news was completely cut off. The sweeping king didn't know the situation in Pingxiang, and the Pingxiang rebels didn't know what happened to the sweeping king.

    The Sweeping King was sitting in Yuanzhou's mansion, with more than 5,000 soldiers in his hands.  He didn't know that there were only five hundred enemies left outside the city, but he thought that he was surrounded by a large army, and there must be enemies ambushing in the mountains outside the city.

    Half a month later, the rebels continued to escape, and they all slipped out of the city with ropes at night.

    In desperation, the sweeping king could only confiscate the ropes in the whole city, and anyone who hides the ropes will have his head chopped off!

    Feeling that it is not a problem to continue to procrastinate, King Sweeper selected hundreds of warriors, and let Yizhang Bing also select hundreds of warriors.  The two of them took down the gate panels in the city and crossed the river at night to attack the camp on the opposite bank, maybe they could defeat the enemy.

    That night.

    Yizhang Bing asked the soldiers to bring more food, quietly set off from the east gate, and then ran directly to the mountains to the north.

    The subordinates quickly reminded: "Second Master, Zhao Tianwang's barracks is to the south."

    Yizhang Bing said unhappily: "Zhao Tianwang has learned magic, so he can invite heavenly soldiers and generals. His soldiers are all heavenly soldiers and generals. How can we fight?"

    "Then where are we going?" the subordinate asked.

    Yizhang Bing said: "I have already inquired about it. There is a small road in the mountains in the north that leads directly to Wanzai County. We can't defeat Zhao Tianwang's soldiers, and we can't defeat the officers and soldiers of Wanzai County? From now on, we will go to Wanzai County to enjoy the blessings!"

    Hundreds of rebels were very happy and didn't have to cross the river to die, so they went straight to Wanzai County in the dark into the mountains.

    King Sweeper also didn't cross the river to attack the camp. This guy didn't want all his money, and took hundreds of old thieves out of the city from the west gate.

    He didn't dare to walk on the flat ground, for fear of being discovered by Datong soldiers.  So he went to Pingxiang along the valley on the north bank of the Yuan River, planning to regroup in Pingxiang County, and then go to Huguang Liuyang County to be happy.  If the magistrate of Liuyang is difficult to deal with, then loot outside the city and move to Pingjiang County further north.

    Anyway, he doesn't want to fight with Zhao Tianwang, Zhao Tianwang is much more difficult to deal with than officers and soldiers!

    The rebel who was in charge of opening the door for the two thieves waited for a while."Grandpa Yasha, spare your life!"

    The sweeping king had no courage to resist, and knelt down and kowtowed to the black buddies.

    Hei buddies are a bit murderous, they didn't know how to catch the living ones, so they just knocked them down with a stick.

    "Hoo!"

    If you hit your head with an iron rod, imagine a smashed watermelon.

    Seeing this, the nearby rebels were paralyzed with fright, and one after another knelt down and begged for mercy.

    There are too many people to kill, and the black buddies only hunt for those who do not surrender.  One child with one stick, there is no second move to kill.  He doesn't have any stick skills at all, he just relies on his height and strength, and his shooting speed is very fast.

    After the battle, Wan Sitong came over, looked at the Sweeper King whose head was smashed, and couldn't help complaining: "Old Tie, next time you hit someone with a stick, can you change the place? I haven't had my fucking dinner yet."  Woolen cloth."

    Tie Hong, who was brave and invincible just now, scratched his head and smirked, revealing two rows of white teeth.

    He felt that he lived a very happy life. He was caught by the chief when he was a teenager, sold to those red-haired men, and came to the East on a big ship.

    The cabin was very crowded, not only lacking water and food, but also lacking oxygen and making it difficult to breathe. More than a dozen black slaves who were with him died of illness.

    ?Because he was tall and strong, the red-haired man deliberately kept him and sent him to Guangzhou for sale, so wealthy businessmen of Ming Dynasty could pay higher prices.

    He first took care of people's homes and nursing homes, and worked as a servant for wealthy businessmen of Ming Dynasty.  Because he couldn't understand the language, the rich businessman thought he was too stupid, so he punished him by beating and scolding him.

    One day, Fei Yinggong came and took the bandits to rob the rich merchants. He took the opportunity to escape with Fei Yinggong.

    Today's life has become better, he married a widow in Tianhe Town.  The widow brought a cheap son, and gave birth to his own son last year. The family business has ushered in a new peak.

    As for the things in Africa, he has almost forgotten, and his name will be Tie Hong from now on.

    At night, the soldiers lit a fire to keep warm and eat.

    Tie Hong chewed dry food and asked: "I heard that the emperor is the biggest, when will the general town be the emperor?"

    "How do I know?" Wan Sitong also began to look forward to it, "Everyone guesses that Jiangxi can be conquered within three years, Jiangnan can be swept within ten years, and Beijing can be entered within fifteen years!"

    "I know Beijing, but where is Jiangnan?" Tie Hong asked curiously.

    Wan Sitong said with a smile: "All the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, the world of flowers and flowers, you will know when the time comes."

    Tie Hong said: "I just thought, Zongzhen became the emperor and built a big ship to go back to my hometown. I want to catch the chief and ask him why he sold me to the red-haired man!"

    (Thanks to Nuanyang 1314 for the reward from the Baiyin League. Pharaoh can only change three times a day, and he has too many hands and abilities.  Pay back slowly every day.?

 Body 194【Going south to Ganzhou】

    Chongzhen ninth year, May.

    The Datong Army conquered the three counties of Yichun, Pingxiang, and Yongxin.  The head of the bandit fled to Wanzai County to wreak havoc.  The bandit leader suppressed the mountain tiger and fled to Chaling County to wreak havoc.

    In addition, Bai picked up the partial and poor Yongning County.

    The troops stationed in the four newly occupied counties have been busy this year, because many scattered bandits have fled into the mountains, and they have to organize repeated bandit suppression operations to eliminate them.

    ?Administrative divisions are adjusted again——

    ?Ji'an Prefecture: Luling, Jishui, Anfu, Taihe, Yongxin, Yongning, Yongfeng, Wan'an, Longquan.

    ?Linjiang Mansion: Qingjiang, Xingan, Xiajiang, Xinyu, Fengcheng.

    ? Yuanzhou Mansion: Yichun, Fenyi, Pingxiang.

    Ouyang Zheng was the prefect of Ji'an, Yuan Yunlong (niece married to Fei Ruhe) was the prefect of Linjiang, and Liu Ziren (a poor scholar in Qianshan) was the prefect of Yuanzhou.

    Fei Yuanjian was transferred to be the magistrate of Jishui County, and the Fang brothers who donated soil to him served as county magistrates in Yongxin and Xiajiang respectively.

    Even Huang Shunde and Liu Fang, who were transferred from the General Military Mansion because of their marriage to a rich family, were promoted to magistrates in poor counties because they did not make mistakes in follow-up work.

    He will not treat old brothers badly, and newcomers who work hard will not treat badly. Zhao Han is both respectful of the rules and nostalgic for the past.

    In addition, regarding the township level yamen, the rules are also completely determined.  In the future, there will be no reduction of town-level yamen, six towns will be set up in large counties, four to five towns in middle counties, and three towns in small counties.

    The imperial court.

    Zhang Qiping, the governor of Baoding, was transferred to the governor of Huguang South Road. He took up his post in mid-May and recruited troops to assist Jiangxi in suppressing bandits.

    Zhu Xieyuan, governor of the five southern provinces, in view of the situation of all parties, ordered Zhang Qiping to train troops as soon as possible, and agreed to attack the Luling Zhao bandits together after the autumn harvest.

    At most, it could be delayed until the autumn harvest. Fujian officers and soldiers were about to blow up, and began to disregard Zou Weilian's military order and plundered the surrounding villages and towns of Ganzhou Prefecture privately.  Zou Weilian could only punish him with small punishments, and did not dare to kill people to gain power, otherwise it would easily lead to a mutiny.

    Just this year, a mutiny broke out in Ningxia.

    Zu Dashou's younger brother Zu Dabi, nicknamed "Zu Er Crazy", was transferred to the Ningxia General Army last year.  This guy was greedy for ink as always, and the governor was unable to raise enough military pay, and the frontier army could not survive at all, so he made a fuss about paying and killed Ningxia governor Wang Ji.

    At the same time, Huang Taiji began to reform the internal affairs, and set up three internal institutes: the Institute of Internal History, the Institute of Internal Secretaries, and the Institute of Neihongwen.

    After the completion of the reform of the Inner Three Courts, Huang Taiji ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, changed the Yuan to "Chongde", changed the country's name to "Daqing", changed the family name to "Manchuria", established his capital in Shenyang, and honored him as "Kuanwen Rensheng Emperor".  Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi were all crowned kings.

    The enthronement ceremony lasted for more than 20 days, and the whole system was copied from the Ming Dynasty.

    After enthroning, Huang Taiji immediately sent 100,000 troops to enter Xifengkou and Dushikou in three routes.

    Wang Zhaokun, the censor patrolling the customs of the Ming Dynasty, was killed in battle, and the Manchu and Qing troops invaded Juyong and Changping North Road.  Wang Pu, the commander-in-chief of Datong, rushed to help, and beheaded more than a thousand soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

    The Qing army fought all the way to Liangxiang and Shunyi, which was later Fangshan District and Shunyi District of Beijing.

    The capital is under martial law.

    ?Lu Xiangsheng was promoted to the premiership of the seven provinces, defeating Gao Yingxiang and Li Zicheng.  Just waiting to take advantage of the victory to encircle and suppress the rogues, they were suddenly transferred to the capital to defend against the Manchus. The rogues were beaten and ran all over the place, so they had a chance to breathe again.

    Due to the problem of military pay in various places, and the Manchu and Qing ravages in Gyeonggi, many troops began to make trouble for pay, and Chongzhen became more and more dissatisfied with Hou Xun, the Minister of the Household Department.

    ?The first assistant, Wen Tiren, observed the holy will, and began to arrange for his party members to impeach Hou Xun.

    Whenever the Tartars retreat, Hou Xun, the Minister of the Household Department, will be imprisoned!

    By the way, Zhu Yujian, king of the Tang Dynasty, rose up to serve as king and was deposed as a commoner

    "Wang Ting tried to bet on both sides." Zhao Han took out a translation of the secret letter.

    Pang Chunlai watched it closely for a while, then handed over the secret letter to Li Banghua.

    After reading the content, Li Banghua said with a smile: "There is a capable governor, of course he won't give us his whole heart."

    "This internal response will be useful in the future, but it must not be relied on." Pang Chunlai said.

    Wang Ting tried this old thing and saw that Li Maofang was a jerk, so he came to join Zhao Han.  Now that Zhu Xieyuan is here, and he is especially valued, this guy has started to actively work for the government again.

    Bet on both sides, neither side will not offend.

    If Zhao Han wins, he is a hero from Conglong; if Zhu Xieyuan wins, he may resume his career as a court official.

    He wants to take advantage of everything, he is just daydreaming!

    Li Feng came to a businessman, and everyone knew that he sent his son as a hostage??, Zhu Xieyuan figured it out very quickly, Zhao thief relied on the lack of preparation of officers and soldiers to force him to make some kind of difficult choice.

    Zhu Xieyuan chose to continue his military training. He could only trust Zou Weilian to be able to defend Ganzhou City undefeated.

    The city of Ganzhou was majestic and solid, so Zhao Han couldn't attack it by force, and he didn't even think about taking it down—taking down Ganzhou would be detrimental to defending the southern territory.

    Zhao Han continued to transport troops and food, and camped at the foot of Egong Mountain in Ganzhou Prefecture, facing Ganzhou City across the river.

    Zou Weilian quickly took the main force of the Fujian army back into Ganzhou City.  It's not that he didn't do nothing, he has already built hundreds of small sampans, and he didn't even bother to brush the tung oil. They were all one-off fire attack ships.

    Once you find the right opportunity, burn Zhao Han's sailors to pieces!

    As for the father-in-law Fei Yinghuan, he will go to Fujian this winter.  As the magistrate of Fujian, it is impossible for him to stay in Jiangxi forever, otherwise Zou Weilian would be suspicious.

    The strange thing is that after Zhao Han came to Ganzhou, the navy and army didn't move much.

    Instead, a large number of backbone peasant associations were brought in, and under the protection of a small group of troops, they went deep into the countryside to form local peasant associations.  There is no rush to divide the land for the time being, because there are not enough grassroots officials. We just set up farmers' associations to carry rent and tax resistance, and at the same time help local farmers train farmers and soldiers.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 195 [Mutiny]

    In terms of the area of ??the city, Ganzhou City is only half the size of Nanchang City.

    As for the city wall, the foundation stone of Ganzhou City was poured with molten iron to prevent it from being destroyed by flooding of the river.  There is a drainage system in the Northern Song Dynasty in the city, and it is not afraid of floods that are rare in a century.

    Surrounded by rivers on three sides and a moat on one side.

    Most of the cities in Jiangxi are of this kind.  Facing the river on both sides and facing the river on three sides, all kinds of structures are all masonry structures, which can be called a nightmare for besiegers.

    Zou Weilian sat on the platform of eight mirrors, where Su Dongpo wrote eight poems, but now he has no taste for poetry.

    More than 600 fire attack boats have been prepared long ago, just waiting for the enemy's navy to throw themselves into the trap.

    The place where the three rivers meet is the city of Ganzhou. The river to the north of this place is more than a mile wide.  Unless the rebels are stupid and learn from Cao Cao's iron rope horizontal boat, it will be difficult for more than 600 fire attack boats to be effective.

    Only after passing the confluence of the three rivers, no matter whether you enter Gongshui or Zhangshui, the river will be much narrower, and then it will be conducive to fire attack.

    However, Ancient Sword Mountain will not pass!

    Because of the navy of Gujianshan, there are only two missions this time.  One is to transport people and food, and the other is to stop any ships from going north. It is enough to cruise in the north. Why take the risk of sailing into Zhangshui or Gongshui?

    "Fu Shuai, there are scholars crossing the river from Gongshui."

    "Bring him here."

    Not long after, a scholar was brought to the eight mirror stage, and he couldn't wait to meet him: "Master, please send troops quickly, if it is too late, it will be too late!"

    The place where Zou Weilian stands is the best place to see the scenery. You can look down on the river and even faintly see the camp of rebels on the opposite bank.  He frowned and asked, "But what happened to the rebel?"

    The scholar said: "The rebels are inciting the common people to form peasant associations to force the landlords to reduce rent and interest rates. The peasant associations refuse to accept any loans with an interest rate of more than three percent and force the landlords to hand over the leases.  They also have to remove barrel noodles and waste winter animals, it's simply lawless!"

    Bucket noodles, similar to the fire consumption of the government.

    ? If the tenant pays rent to the landlord for one stone, one bucket will be taken for the loss of the surface of the barrel, and the actual rent is one stone for one bucket.  And it still uses a special big bucket to collect rent!

    Anyway, the landlord has countless ways to squeeze out the grain in the hands of the tenants, and then force the tenants to borrow usury.

    Day after day, year after year, almost every family owed debts, and the tenants were essentially reduced to serfs.

    Hearing what the scholar said, Zou Weilian instantly felt over.

    Although he tried his best to restrain the soldiers and did not go to the surrounding villages and towns to plunder, he seemed to have treated the people very well.  But compared with the rebels who formed farmers' associations, reduced rent and interest, removed barrel noodles, and abolished winter animals, Zou Weilian's good governance is nothing!

    What's more, the Fujian soldiers are already disobedient, and have sneaked out to rob twice this month.

    ?Let the rebels do this, it is estimated that it will only take a month or two, and the surrounding countryside will be completely occupied by the rebels. He led his troops out of the city as if entering an enemy-occupied area.

    Zou Weilian asked: "Are you going to let the rebels form a peasant association?"

    The scholar complained: "The rebels have a team of 50 soldiers, escorting those officials (the backbone of the peasant association), and they can confuse the common people with a few words. If the landlord resists, he will be searched for public trial. There was a landlord in the same village of Wansheng.  The clansmen and slaves suppressed the peasant association, and were immediately defeated by those bandits, and the house was ransacked that afternoon! And"

    "And what?" Zou Weilian asked.

    The scholar said in horror: "Moreover, the rebels also trained farmers and soldiers in the villages and towns where the Wannong Association was formed. They used Qi Wuyi's mandarin duck formation, using bamboo, sickles, kitchen knives, and pot lids as weapons. One day the rebels left  , these unruly people can also win against the landlords, only the officers and soldiers can come forward to crusade."

    Zou Weilian was speechless for a moment, he didn't know how to deal with it, and there was no old example in the history books.

    This is sowing the seeds of rebellion. Even if the bandits are beaten back now, as long as the officers and soldiers leave Ganzhou, I am afraid that the local farmers will spontaneously revolt.

    Could it be possible to kill all the little people?

    Zou Weilian stood on the stage of eight mirrors, looking at the camp of rebels on the other side, feeling so depressed that he couldn't tell anyone.

    He turned around and looked back at Yugu Terrace on Helan Mountain, and murmured Xin Qiji's words: "Under Yugu Terrace, there are so many people crying in the clear river waterWho is this pedestrian?"

    If Zhao Han was present, he would definitely say: "Of course it is the people who are suffering."

    A few days later, all the officers and men in the city knew what the rebels had done.

    Chen Ting, general soldier of Fujian Province and champion of martial arts, came to see him: "Fu Shuai, you are afraid of the Zhao bandits, but I am not. Let me cross the river and kill all the traitors!"

    "Don't be arrogant," Zou Weilian reassured, "Master Zhu has already given a warning, and after receiving his military orderThe light aimed at the other side of the river.

    There is always a chance to attack on the river bank that is more than ten miles long.

    Moreover, the anti-thief navy did not dare to sail past the confluence of the three rivers, and the upper reaches of the river were all the territory of the officers and soldiers.

    Chen Tingdui set up an ambush upstream, as long as the anti-thief sailors from Gujianshan dared to come to the Gongshui River to cruise, hundreds of fireboats would be dispatched immediately.  And the sailors of the officers and soldiers can also block the back of the rebels from Zhangshui, so that the rebel sailors can't escape even if they want to!

    Only 3,000 people were left to guard the city, Chen Tingdui went upstream to smuggle 5,000 people first, and the rest of the troops swaggered across the river from the front.

    He just wants to lure the rebels, no matter the navy or the army, they all have to fall into his trap.

    At night, 5,000 smugglers crossed the river one after another.  Due to the large battle, they were discovered halfway through the crossing, because there were sentinels sent by the peasant association along the river.

    It doesn't matter to the officers and soldiers, the place of smuggling is far away from the camp of the rebels, and the main force of the rebels will be unable to stop them for a while.

    As for the anti-thief sailors, if you dare to make trouble, don't even think about going back. More than 600 fire attack ships are waiting.

    The peasant association here began to remind the people to move by beating gongs and drums.

    It's a pity that the farmers' association has just been established, and its appeal is insufficient. Many farmers are disobedient and hide at home and refuse to come out.

    After 5,000 officers and soldiers successfully crossed the river, they immediately plundered villages and towns with torches.  They looked down on the poor and poor people, just killed a few when they passed by, and then went straight to the mansions of those big families.

    Guest soldiers from other provinces are more ruthless than rebels!

    How ruthless it is, you can refer to Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang.  Not to mention stealing money, but also engaged in massacres, the killings were too extreme, and even foreigners couldn't stand it.

    If Chen Tingdui wants to gain a firm foothold in Jiangxi, he must let every Fujian soldier under his command earn money to be a landlord at home!  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 196 [Ganzhou Water Battle] (addition for the "temporary vacancy" of the leader)

    ,

    The commander-in-chief of the Southern Expedition was Fei Ruhe, and he did not respond to the officers and soldiers crossing the river.

    Huang Yao, Li Zheng, Jiang Dashan and others led the troops, and they would definitely act immediately, recruit local farmers as auxiliary soldiers, and then fight a big battle with the officers and soldiers to prevent more people from being slaughtered by the officers and soldiers.

    Who is Fei Ruhe?

    The eldest son of the Ehu Fei family, the young master of the Fei family!

    To this day, although Fei Ruhe agrees with the Datong theory, he thinks that doing so can win the world.  But deep in his heart, he is still the son of that family, no matter how many people die, it doesn't matter to him.

    What's more, Fujian soldiers ran to the countryside to plunder, and the real victims were those landlords, and the small people were just killed incidentally.

    Gu Jianshan, Li Hui, Fan Chao, Wan Bangyan and other naval generals were called to a meeting by Fei Ruhe.

    Fei Ruhe pointed to the map and said: "Officers and soldiers secretly crossed the river in the upper reaches of the Gongshui River, and their main force swaggered across the river, and sent troops to loot the villages everywhere. If we don't take us seriously, the local generals are either fools or do it on purpose."  I'm trying to lure me over. I'm not worried, Master Lu, how should your navy fight?"

    Wan Bangyan is the son of a concubine from a wealthy family in Linjiang Prefecture. His family volunteered to donate two boats to be converted into warships, and he became an officer of the navy because of this.

    Although this man was not a scholar, he was still a boy, and he immediately analyzed: "If the officers and soldiers only want to rob property, they can cross Zhangshui and go to the west to rob. There is no army in the west, and there is no peasant association we formed.  Since the officers and soldiers crossed the Gongshui River and came to the east, they robbed incidentally, and their real intention was to lure us to send troops."

    Li Hui was born as a fisherman in Yongyang Town. He scratched his head and said, "The terrain of the river here is exactly the same as that of Linjiang Mansion. Will the officers and soldiers learn from what we did last time?"

    "It must be," Gu Jianshan said with a smile, "Prepare to attack the ship on one river, and ambush the navy on the other, just wait for the enemy to come, and immediately attack from both sides. I was fully prepared on the Gan River and Yuan River,  Wang Siren’s officers, soldiers and sailors were not fooled, and in the end they had to take advantage of the swollen water to force a fire attack. The Ganjiang River here is wider, so a forced fire attack will not work, and our navy must be lured there.”

    Wan Bangyan pointed to the map and said: "Fujian soldiers are good at naval warfare, but their sea ships cannot be transported to Jiangxi. The ships recruited in Fujian cannot reach Jiangxi. Therefore, the number of warships of the officers and soldiers is very small.  At least, they were all compiled and practiced in Jiangxi. The officers and soldiers swaggering across the river are nothing more than luring our sailors into the Gongshui.  , We were rammed by fireboats in front of us, and blocked by officers, soldiers and sailors in the rear, and we couldn't escape even if we wanted to."

    "So," Fei Ruhe understood, "there must be a large number of fire attack ships in ambush in Gongshui, and the main force of officers, soldiers and naval forces in Zhangshui."

    "It's obvious," Fan Chao sneered, "We Poyang water bandits have used this kind of little trick a lot, and how can we still be fooled and run to our death? The commander of the officers and soldiers treats us as fools."

    Li Hui said: "Then let's do the opposite, regardless of the officers and soldiers in the direction of Gongshui, only go to Zhangshui to destroy the main force of the officers, soldiers and navy!"

    Wan Bangyan shook his head and said: "You can't go directly to Zhangshui, otherwise the officers, soldiers and sailors will definitely flee, and all the hard work will be in vain."

    "Then bring out the officers, soldiers and sailors!" Gu Jianshan said.

    "How to lead?" Wan Bangyan asked.

    Gu Jianshan said: "Send thirty or forty grain transport ships, disguised as warships, and sail into Gongshui. The fire attack ships with officers and soldiers are released. When the officers, soldiers and sailors come from behind, our navy will kill them again! The officers and soldiers copy  Let's go back, and let's copy the officers and soldiers' back!"

    This is equivalent to sending thirty or forty grain ships to let the officers and soldiers burn slowly, and those boatmen don't know how many will survive.

    Fei Ruhe immediately made a decision: "Call the boatmen, I want to recruit dead soldiers. Anyone who is willing to lure the enemy by boat, whether he dies in battle or escapes, will be rewarded with thirty taels of silver. Military achievements will be counted separately, and pensions will be counted separately!"

    Wan Bangyan said: "Just sailing into the Gongshui, nine boatmen are enough for a boat."

    That also requires two or three hundred dead soldiers.

    Gu Jianshan, Wan Bangyan and others immediately conveyed the military order.

    There are really many boatmen who came to sign up, because it is not a mandatory task.  When the opponent's fire attack ship is sent out, they can jump out of the ship and escape for their lives after a long distance. Although it is the high water season, there is no flood, and the speed of the water flow is not difficult for the boatman.

    Of course, swimming back to the shore quickly is not enough. It is easy to swim and be attacked by the officers, soldiers and sailors who rushed out from behind.

    It can only be said that these death squad boatmen have at least a 50% chance of surviving.

    And in their own opinion, the hope of living is more than 90%, because they all rely on their superb water skills.

    In early July, Fujian soldiers crossed the river to plunder.Go around to the southwest at full speed and outflank, preventing any enemy ship from escaping into Zhangshui.

    Chen Tingdui, the general soldier of Fujian Province, looked at the battle situation with binoculars at this moment, and he was already stupid.

    Once the navy was destroyed, he personally crossed the river as a bait, and the tens of thousands of Fujian soldiers he brought over would not be able to cross the river and return to Ganzhou City.  Although he still had more than a dozen troop carriers left, he didn't dare to go by boat at all. He would definitely be attacked by the rebel navy on the way.

    More than 10,000 Fujian soldiers will not be able to return to Ganzhou City

    Of course, before the water battle is over, if you start immediately, you can still pass thousands.

    But who goes and who stays?

    The soldiers who were left behind may mutiny on the spot.

    Son-in-law Huang Hanliang quickly said: "Master Taishan, you must make a decision as soon as possible. First, abandon the 3,000 defenders in Ganzhou City, and immediately retreat to Xingguo County or Yudu County; second, quickly send troops to attack the main camp of the rebels!"  The entire navy of our army has been wiped out, and we can no longer withdraw to Ganzhou City, and there is no third option at all, and if we drag it on, our morale will collapse sooner or later."

    "beat!"

    Chen Ting's eyes are red, he has more soldiers, and he has a thousand firecrackers.

 Text 197 [Gentleman and Peasant Union]

    The river terrain of Ganzhou City is indeed similar to that of Linjiang Mansion, but it is much more complicated here!

    ?The three rivers confluence, and the mountains stand in all directions.

    Behind each river, there is Daji Bay. Even if you climb up and look far away, you can't see the other side's navy layout.  Because the main force of the navy is all hidden behind Jiwan, only a few ships are sent out for cruising.

    Therefore, everyone can set up an ambush with a water master, and guess what the other party is like based on experience.

    The Fujian Navy was used to fighting naval battles before, but this was the first time it had fought inland water battles.  Moreover, after the merchant ships raised in Jiangxi were transformed into warships, many water warfare weapons were missing.

    Originally equipped with some Franco cannons, they were all brought back to Guangdong by Shen Youlong to suppress the bandits. Who made them the coach with Shangfang's sword?

    After the water battle took over, Fujian sailors jumped into the river one after another, scrambling to swim back to Ganzhou City.

    The distance is very short, and you can go ashore by swimming a few hundred meters, and the city wall of Ganzhou is on the shore.

    As for the army battle on the other side of Ganzhou City, the terrain is also somewhat complicated.  Fei Ruhe still remembered the basics of camping taught by Pang Chunlai when he was a teenager. Behind him was Egong Mountain, with two large ponds on the left and right, and in front facing the Ganjiang River.  There is only a gap of three miles between Daying and the Ganjiang River, and officers and soldiers must attack from here.

    ?As for Fei Ruhe himself, he can do good work and keep it safe, with sufficient food and grass and abundant water sources.

    During the march, Huang Hanliang said: "We can divide our troops into three thousand, capture the hilltop in the south, and raid the camp of the bandits from the hillside. The main force of our army will attack from the front, and we may win a big victory by attacking from both sides. Our army captures the hilltop, and the bandits  The army must divide its troops for defense. Once it is divided, it will be beneficial to our army, because the enemy has fewer troops."

    "You lead people to attack the mountain!" Chen Ting ordered.

    Huang Hanliang led 3,000 people to the mountains without saying a word.

    Chen Ting turned around to the west to himself, and came to the gap between the rebel camp and the Ganjiang River.

    Compared with Ji'an, rice planting in Ganzhou is earlier, and it is ready to be harvested at this time.  In the paddy fields near Fei Ruhe's camp, the peasant association has already organized the farmers to harvest, and the two sides will fight in the vast paddy fields.

    Although Chen Tingdui hated Zou Weilian, he had to admit that the governor had a way of training soldiers.

    After being stationed in Ganzhou City for one year, in addition to raising food and grass and making fireboats, the training of more than 10,000 Fujian soldiers has been greatly improved, and they are no longer the rabble that collapsed at the first touch last year.

    Including the generals, all took off their shoes, rolled up their trouser legs and stepped into the field, stepping in the muddy water and marching in line.

    A thousand gunfire soldiers were hidden in the central army, waiting for the critical moment to show their power.

    Chen Tingdui sent 2,000 Fujian soldiers to attack the rebel camp with two intentions: first, to tear down the wooden wall of the rebel camp; second, to attract the rebels to chase after the defeat.

    It doesn't matter whether you win or lose. If you win, take advantage of the situation and attack with the whole army. If you lose, use the firecrackers to fight back.

    The strong troops trained by Zou Weilian gave Chen Ting's full confidence that he would not pretend to be defeated and turn the whole army into a rout.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    Two thousand Fujian soldiers rushed towards the camp, the anti-thief archers began to shoot in salvo, and there were still spearmen waiting behind the wall.

    Rather than talking about the wall of the village, it is better to say the relatively strong wooden fence, which is very convenient for the spear to poke out through the gap.

    After the Fujian soldiers were shot by a volley of bows and arrows, they were already showing signs of collapse.  A few rushed to the outside of the wall, and were immediately stabbed back by the spearmen, and then the two thousand Fujian soldiers were defeated.

    Chen Ting was extremely depressed. The rebels in the camp did not take advantage of the victory to fight out, which made his follow-up deployment completely ineffective.

    Under normal circumstances, the rebels should take the opportunity to kill, and then kill all the officers and soldiers to collapse.

    But what Fei Ruhe thought was, why should I chase him down?

    My navy has won a complete victory, and I occupy the camp to wait for work, and the officers and soldiers cannot cross the river to return to the city.  As long as there is a delay of one more day, the morale of the officers and soldiers will drop by one point, so why rush to a decisive battle?

    In Taihe County, Fei Ruhe, who chased and killed hundreds of rebels by himself, suddenly turned into a wise general.

    Thanks to Fei Yinghuan's secret report last year, Zhao Han, Fei Ruhe and others all knew that Fujian officers and soldiers had firecrackers in their hands, and the rebels had to deal with them carefully.

    Chen Tingdui thought that the Fire Gun Battalion was a surprise soldier, but he was caught off guard at a critical moment.  But how did he know that the rebels even knew the names of the generals who commanded the Fire Gun Battalion.

    Seeing that the lure of the enemy failed, Chen Tingdui could only revive his team and decided to forcibly attack the rebel camp.

    It's just that the terrain is a bit disgusting. There are ponds on both sides of the camp, so we can only attack from the front.

    While deploying the army, he waited for his son-in-law.

    Son-in-law Huang Hanliang is making a surprise attack into the mountain. As long as he succeeds, he can escape from the rebel camp.?Maybe it will collapse by itself.

    "Zizi deceived me!"

    Chen Tingdui's lungs were about to explode. He wanted to fight a decisive battle, but the rebels withdrew to the camp to defend.  He ordered the withdrawal of the troops, and the rebels followed. How can there be such a reckless fight?

    Moreover, there are paddy fields all around, both sides can advance or retreat calmly, even if one side wants to charge suddenly, it will not be able to charge.

    "kill!"

    On a mountain behind the officer's army, there was a sudden scream of killing.

    Many of the looted goods by Chen Ting were transported back to Ganzhou City.  However, a lot of food and grass were left behind, and camps were set up by mountains and rivers, and more than a thousand officers and soldiers were left to guard the camp and food and grass.

    "Where do the rebels still have the strength to go around and attack our barracks?" A Fujian boss was shocked.

    All the Fujian soldiers turned pale with fright, because the shouts of killing came from the rear, at least tens of thousands of troops were needed.

    Can rebels turn beans into soldiers?

    "Go into the mountain, go into the mountain!"

    Chen Ting immediately ordered that the main force of the rebels was in the northwest, and a large number of rebels appeared inexplicably in the southeast.

    After the officers and soldiers withdrew like this, Fei Ruhe followed slowly.

    There are paddy fields everywhere, and if you can't charge and chase, then chase slowly.

    Soon, more than a dozen defeated officers and soldiers ran frantically along the field ridge, shouting in horror: "General Town, our army camp has been attacked!"

    "Are there only a dozen of you left, the camp guards?" Chen Ting asked.

    The defeated soldier said: "Fleeing in all directions, the others don't know where to flee?"

    Chen Ting asked again: "How many rebels attacked the camp?"

    The defeated soldier said: "Thousands of people, maybe tens of thousands of people. Most of them are farmers, holding kitchen knives, hoes and the like. There are also some village warriors. The gentry came to attack the camp with village courage."

    "How dare a gentleman follow a thief?" Chen Ting said in horror.

    Yes, the gentry have also become thieves.

    ?In the past few days, the missionary officers have been contacting the landlords, and the peasant associations are mobilizing the farmers.

    ?Because the Fujian soldiers killed too hard, the landlords in Ganzhou would rather follow the thieves and help the rebels defeat the Fujian officers and soldiers.  Otherwise, once the rebels were defeated and fled, the Fujian soldiers would be able to kill the landlords in Ganzhou.

    This kind of thing has happened a long time ago. A hundred years ago, soldiers from Guangdong, Guangxi and Huguang encircled and suppressed Southern Jiangxi, burning, killing and looting all the way.

    Guangxi wolf soldiers are the most ruthless, killing Nangan to the nines!

    Even sages such as Wang Yangming also used the method of sitting together when suppressing bandits.  One family followed the thief, and ten families were punished by the law. The heads were rolled, and the people reported each other to their neighbors.

    Fei Ruhe chased the officers and soldiers into the mountain, not a rolling mountain.

    Soon, the local militia also came to meet up.  The domineering landlords and gentry, and the oppressed tenant farmers, under the tandem of missionaries and peasant associations, worked closely together to besiege and kill Fujian officers and soldiers!  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 198 [Fei Ruhe Rolling All over the Floor]

    Chen Tingdui stood on the mountain and observed the military situation down the mountain with binoculars.

    So far, his mind is still very confused. Why did the landlord and the peasant become thieves together?

    ?The imperial court did not pay enough, the rewards were delayed, and the soldiers robbed themselves to make a fortune. This is a universal truth.  He didn't do too much. Most of the officers and soldiers were like this in encircling and suppressing the rogues in the north, otherwise the fight would have been impossible.

    Even Sun Chuanting, who became the governor of Shaanxi this year, has already loosened the constraints on the generals because the imperial court has not been paid enough.

    No way, you can't raise soldiers without grabbing food.

    And once the restraint is relaxed, military discipline is like water breaking a dike, and it cannot be recovered even if you want to.  Sun Chuanting's pacesetters may be better, but they are only better. Ever since he led troops in Shaanxi, he has been impeached and his military discipline has been corrupted.

    The tribes burned, killed and looted the people, but Sun Chuanting pretended not to see them, neither encouraged nor punished them.

    What can Sun Chuanting do?

    He played too late, and when he became governor and commander of the army, the court's finances were on the verge of collapse.  If he didn't acquiesce in the robbery of the troops, the officers, soldiers and generals under his command would dare to demonstrate to him what it means to be a mutiny and make a fuss!

    Of the supervisors in the late Ming Dynasty, only Lu Xiangsheng treated the people kindly, and his military discipline was very strict.  The Tianxiong Army once ran out of food for three days without collapsing, making noise, or looting, and finally won the battle.  At that time, Lu Xiangsheng distributed the last rations. As the coach, he starved for three days with the soldiers.

    Therefore, Chen Ting felt that it was hard to understand why he was the only one who kicked the iron plate when this was done all over the country?

    Because someone connected in series!

    The missionary officer who was born as a poor scholar went to connect with the landlord and gentry.  The missionary officer and the backbone of the peasant association who came from a poor background went to connect with the local farmers and tenants.

    As long as someone organizes to take the lead in tandem, and Fei Ruhe leads the troops as the backing, what is there to be afraid of?  In just a few days, an army composed of landlords and peasants was pulled out.

    "Master Taishan," Huang Hanliang put down the binoculars, "our army is condescending, and we can send the main force to defeat the local militia. Those are all mobs, without even a formation. There is a mass in the east, and there is a volley in the west. If these people are defeated, they will surely flee.  , It is likely to cause the old bandits from Luling to be defeated, and then our army will be able to take advantage of the victory and pursue."

    Chen Ting said with a sigh: "That's the only way to go."

    In fact, this series of battles seemed particularly weird, completely beyond Chen Ting's cognition.

    It was a helpless move for him to risk crossing the river to set up an ambush, because the rebels formed a peasant association outside the city and trained farmers and soldiers.  The longer the time dragged on, the stronger the anti-thieves' strength became, and Chen Ting had to take risks.

    Immediately, Chen Ting sent elite troops to attack the landlord-peasant coalition forces.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    A round of volleys from the fire gun battalion of officers and soldiers caused more than 3,000 militiamen to flee in an instant.

    Several Fujian generals took the opportunity to cover up the killing, and nearly ten thousand militiamen collapsed across the board.  Most of them fled in all directions, while a few rushed towards Fei Ruhe's main force.

    When the sound of gunfire came from the friendly army, it meant that the elite officers and soldiers were not in sight, Fei Ruhe immediately ordered the whole army to attack.

    This tactic was learned by Fei Ruhe from Zhao Han.

    You hit yours, I hit mine.

    Fei Ruhe didn't bother to rescue those friendly troops, he didn't even stay in the reserve team, he put all his eggs in one basket and headed in the direction of the officers and soldiers Shuaiqi.

    More than 5,000 troops began to rush up the mountain.

    Fei Ruhe, who was a wise general before, has now turned into a fierce general, leading his own soldiers to the front.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    The officers and soldiers were still hiding the bow and arrow troops. Fei Ruhe was halfway through the charge and had been shot with six arrows.  Some arrows landed on the ground, and some arrows were still stuck in his body, none of these could stop Fei Ruhe's charge.  Anyway, he was wearing cotton armor and a bamboo helmet with iron plates embedded on his head, as long as he didn't get shot in the face and neck.

    The main general charged forward, and the morale of the whole army was greatly boosted.

    The elite officers and soldiers were all sent to fight against the coalition of landlords and peasants, and the defense was relatively weak, but Fei Ruhe's attack was at the right time.

    If he hesitated for a moment and all the friendly troops fled, Fei Ruhe would be attacked from both sides.

    When Fei Ruhe led the army to attack the top of the mountain, the moment the two sides came into contact, the weak brigade of officers and soldiers immediately broke open.

    "Follow me to fill in!"

    Chen Ting is worthy of being the champion of martial arts, and he has no idea what it means to be afraid.

    Seeing a gap in his own front, he immediately led the Chinese army to fill it.

    The coach hit the coach!

    "Hey!"

    Chen Tingdui slashed down suddenly, and with the power of charging from top to bottom, he wanted to hack Fei Ruhe to death on the spot.

    "when, There are deserters and pursuers everywhere, and sometimes it is even unclear who is fleeing and who is chasing.

    Chen Tingdui, the Fujian general, rushed down the mountains from the north and fled all the way into the mountains further north.  After entering the mountain, he finally saw no more pursuers. He quickly counted the number of people, and his eyes turned black with anger.

    There are only forty people around him

    The other troops, including his personal soldiers, have completely fled, and there is no way to get together again in other places.

    Chen Ting didn't dare to delay, so he rested for a while and continued to flee for his life in the mountains. He had to find a nearby county as soon as possible.  As long as they entered the county seat, they would immediately write a letter to sue and blame Zou Weilian.

    After all the content was thought out, the governor of Fujian, Zou Weilian, and his whole family were caught by the rebels, so they secretly ordered from the rebels.  Zou Weilian first stood still and watched the rebels occupy the natural danger of Wan'an, and then commanded the navy to send them into the rebel trap, causing the main force of Fujian officers and soldiers to be surrounded by the rebels.

    It's all the governor's fault!

    It took Fei Ruhe a day and a night to clean the battlefield, and captured more than 3,000 officers and soldiers.

    In fact, more prisoners could be captured, but the local gentry and peasants killed the prisoners in various ways to vent their anger. Many Fujian soldiers would rather jump into the river and escape than be caught by the local villagers.

    Those dead boatmen responsible for luring the enemy, only six died, and more than 80 people were missing. It is unknown where they were washed ashore, or their bodies could not be found after drowning.

    Just when Fei Ruhe moved across the river to encircle Ganzhou City, Gu Jianshan suddenly received a military order: the navy immediately went north to fight!

    Zhu Xieyuan, governor of the five southern provinces, could not sit back and watch the friendly troops in Ganzhou be besieged.

    His idea is very correct, Zou Weilian only needs to defend Ganzhou City until the autumn harvest is over on his side.  As long as there is autumn grain and sufficient food, Zhu Xieyuan will send troops to attack Fengcheng County, forcing the main rebels to withdraw their troops from Ganzhou.

    In this way, the rebels can be exhausted and the city of Ganzhou can be kept.

    Maybe, Zou Weilian can send troops from Ganzhou and take the opportunity to take down Wan'an County!  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 199 [Siege] (addition for the leader "Book Friends 20210617003015576")

    ,

    Outside Fengcheng County.

    Zhu Xieyuan looked at the closed city gate and the open countryside, his face was as black as ink.

    It is normal for the rebels in Fengcheng County to have been prepared for a long time.

    But how could the rural people in Fengcheng County hide so quickly?

    Not to mention livestock and food, even valuable furniture has been removed.

    The rice that has not yet fully matured is also forcibly harvested in advance.  If it is too late to harvest, just leave it in the paddy field, which is tantamount to abandoning it directly.

    There are spies on my side, and they are very high-level spies!

    In order to catch people by surprise, Zhu Xieyuan didn't even wait for the autumn harvest to be over, and sent troops when the rice was about to be harvested.  His military rations are definitely not enough, but he can directly harvest new rice in Fengcheng County, and he can't care about the people at this time. The people in the Zhao thief's territory are no different from the rebels.

    ?The rebels were informed in advance of dispatching troops so quickly. Judging by the calm transfer of the people in Fengcheng, the rebels received the news at least one or two days in advance.

    "Who do you think leaked the military information?" Zhu Xieyuan asked.

    "I really don't know." Wang Tingshi was also at a loss. He could swear that this time it really had nothing to do with him.

    Zhu Xieyuan said in a cold tone: "Demolish the house and besiege the city!"

    Residents outside Fengcheng County have withdrawn into the city ahead of time.

    Under Zhu Xieyuan's order, houses outside the city were looted to make siege equipment.  In addition, a small group of troops was sent to harvest the rice in the nearby fields. Even if it was not cooked, it could be taken back and cooked for food.

    The officer in charge of stationing Fengcheng County is Jiang Liang. He only has a thousand regular soldiers in his hand, but he urgently recruited a thousand peasant soldiers.

    The county magistrate is called Liu Shunyi, who was originally a poor scholar in Anfu County.

    Liu Shunyi is now responsible for maintaining law and order, temporarily organizing all the people in the city into Baojia.  Let the people supervise each other, and if members of their own Baojia dare to take the opportunity to make trouble, the entire Baojia will be punished.

    There must be spies from the government in the city, and there are more than one. We must prevent them from arson.

    Zhu Xieyuan seems to be going to be tough this time, filling up several sections of the moat in just one day.

    ? On the next day, there were two sides missing and one side was missing, and the Gan River was on the other side.

    Seeing this, Jiang Liang immediately ordered: "Notify Liu magistrate, let him organize manpower, block the eight small gates, and leave only four gates. There are too many gates in Fengcheng County, and the officers and soldiers are determined to attack the city this time."  .”

    On the outskirts of Nanchang, inside the Tu family mansion.

    The servant girl has been sent away, and a few scholars are drinking and chatting, they are the scholars who captured Yang Jiamo alive.

    "Let's guess, gentlemen, can the Governor send out troops this time to take down Fengcheng?" Tu Tingying asked with a smile.

    Yu Shiqin sighed: "Even if Fengcheng can be captured, once the reinforcements from Zongzhen Zhao arrive, they will surely defeat the main force of the officers and soldiers."

    "Oh, I only hope that Mr. Zhao will occupy Nanchang as soon as possible, otherwise this business will be impossible." The person who spoke was Li Fenglai, a grain merchant.

    Both Li Fenglai's eldest son and second son are studying in Bailuzhou Academy as hostages.  And the group of scholars who defected last year happened to be thrown to the academy, and they recognized Li Fenglai's son within a few days.

    This tip-off was written by them.

    Regardless of the fact that there are many mountains and few lands in Jiangxi, there are particularly many grain merchants.  They purchased grain in Jiangxi, shipped it to various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River and sold it at a high price, and then shipped back special products such as cotton cloth in the south of the Yangtze River, making a lot of money in this way.

    In order to raise soldiers, Zhu Xieyuan prohibited Jiangxi's grain from leaving the country, and was only allowed to sell it to the Governor's Mansion at the market price.

    What the hell is the market price?

    Can the price of rice in Jiangxi be the same as the price of rice in Jiangnan provinces?

    Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Zhu Xieyuan offended all Jiangxi grain merchants.

    It's nothing more than earning less money for a year, because I'm afraid that the officers and soldiers will continue to confront the rebels.  If they continue to toss like this for several years, they will simply let the grain merchants die. They only hope that this war will end as soon as possible.

    In rural areas such as Fengxin, Jinxian, and Gao'an counties, peasant associations have emerged one after another, and it seems that sooner or later there will be peasant riots.

    As big landlords, these grain merchants find it increasingly difficult to exploit the peasants, for fear that they will be ransacked and exterminated by the peasant association.  Zhu Xieyuan cut off their financial resources for doing business again, and they had two different sides. They had to choose one side as soon as possible.

    Do you choose Zhu Xieyuan?

    That is tantamount to choosing a protracted war, and the Zhao thieves cannot be wiped out within three to five years.  By that time, the peasants would have rioted long ago, not to mention keeping the land, the lives of the grain merchants might be lost.

    Under the connection of Li Fenglai, Tu Tingying and others, at least 70% of the grain merchants in Nanchang PrefectureThe degree is actually not very high.

    "How to fight?" Li Zheng asked.

    Fei Yinggong said: "We must not attack by force. The officers and soldiers attack the mountain, and we will harass from behind. Try to delay the time as much as possible. It only takes half a month. There must be reinforcements from Ji'an."

    Still, Zhao Han's army is too small, half of the regular soldiers are fighting in the south, and some elite farmers and soldiers are guarding against Huguang.

    Zhao Han wanted to send additional reinforcements, so he could only recruit farmers and soldiers from Luling, Jishui, Anfu and other counties.  It takes time to assemble, and it takes time to hurry. Zhu Xieyuan can come and go very freely in this neutral position.

    Just as Fei Yinggong said, Zhao Han's reinforcements may take half a month, and Zhu Xieyuan's plan is to withdraw the troops if they can't defeat the Lion Mountain in eight days.

    By the time Zhao Han sent reinforcements, Zhu Xieyuan would have already run back to Nanchang. This is an old fox who refuses to suffer!

    In the afternoon.

    More than 28,000 officers and soldiers, rested enough, had a meal, and began to organize an attack on the mountain.

    Judging from the plan, Lion Rock is really small, less than 400 meters long and less than 200 meters wide. If 200,000 to 30,000 people besieged it, it would be a sledgehammer.

    Fortunately, mountains can't just look at the plane.

    In the direction of Zhangshu Town, several troop carriers approached. Zhao Han couldn't wait for the peasants and soldiers to assemble, so he sent his own soldiers directly.

    The slave army led by Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu wore chain mail inside, cotton armor outside, and bamboo helmets embedded with iron pieces.

    There are not many people, only four hundred soldiers.

    The real fierce battle is coming, a fierce battle that the Datong Army has never encountered before!

    (Thanks to the leader of Huainanyue for the reward, and thanks to all book friends for their rewards and subscriptions. ?

 Text 200【Offensive and defensive】

    ,

    There were too many enemies and the Lion Mountain was too small. Huang Yao took the initiative to shrink the line of defense, and only guarded the critical points above the half hillside, preventing Zhu Xieyuan's 28,000 officers and soldiers from fully deploying.

    "Hey, here is a treasure," Chen Fugui, the captain of the army, shouted, "Mr. Whistle, I found a treasure!"

    Xiao Zongxian scolded with a sullen face: "The officers and soldiers have already attacked the mountain, what are you messing about?"

    Chen Fugui picked out a rock the size of an egg, and that part of the mountain wall was smashed down. He said excitedly: "Mr. Whistle, this is meteorite from the sky. It can be used as a magical weapon for the town."

    "Really?" Xiao Zong raised his head curiously.

    "I have been blacksmithing for more than ten years, and I can still admit my mistakes?" Chen Fugui was a blacksmith. "The older generation of blacksmiths said that there are a lot of meteorites in the southwest of Fengcheng, and tens of thousands of houses were destroyed during the Zhengde period."

    This is definitely a rumor. The real situation is that there was a meteor shower in the eighth year of Zhengde.  Some of the meteors hit the county town and ignited residential buildings, burning more than 20,000 houses.

    Hu Dinggui ran over from the side: "Meteorite from the sky? Let me see, let me see!"

    "Go back, so you can guard your part!" Xiao Zongxian immediately scolded.

    Hu Dinggui smiled and said: "The officers and soldiers have just begun to climb up, and it's still too early to climb up, and then they will have to go all out and do their best."

    Chen Fugui also smiled and said: "That's right, can the officers and soldiers attack?"

    These Datong soldiers are really not afraid of death. Facing the siege of nearly 30,000 officers and soldiers, they can still chat and laugh.

    Hu Dinggui, an orphan tenant.

    ? Chen Fugui, a craftsman from generation to generation.

    They have been reborn, and they no longer want to live the old days. If officers and soldiers want to take away their fields, they must first take their lives

    Down the mountain.

    Zhu Tongyi drew his sword and shouted: "Brothers, the thief Zhao wants to divide our fields, do you agree or not?"

    "No!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

    "If you want to share our fields, you have to fight with them!" Zhu Tongyi shouted vigorously.

    "Fight, fight!"

    In fact, Zhu Tongyi was not a big landlord, but a descendant of King Ning and grandson of King Jianding Zhu Jinlian, a dignified clan of the Ming Dynasty.

    He originally also had a title (Lieutenant of Fuguo), but he voluntarily gave it up and took part in the imperial examination as a commoner.  Historically, he will be elected next year. In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, he was a Jinshi, and in the last year of Chongzhen, he was promoted to Li Ke to Shizhong.

    A person who can give up his title to take the imperial examination will naturally join the army to serve the country when he encounters rebellion, and regards this as an opportunity to get ahead.

    On the contrary, the 3,000 township braves under his command are mostly children of rich families, small landlords and self-cultivating farmers.

    ?Information in ancient times was very limited. Although Zhao Han had spread the "Datong Ji" in Nanchang, he had already stated the policy of dividing land.  However, some people deliberately misrepresented and spread false rumors. The small landlords and self-cultivating farmers in the counties of Nanchang Prefecture all thought that the rebels were going to rob them of their fields.

    In these places, Zhao Han developed peasant associations in advance and tried his best to promote land policies, but most small landlords and self-cultivating farmers did not believe it.

    "Follow me to attack the mountain!"

    Zhu Tongyi led the team to rush up the mountain, behind him the village warriors were like a rainbow, and they vowed to protect their land to the death.

    About six or seven thousand officers and soldiers began to attack the mountain from all directions—because of the terrain, there were too many people to deploy, and it was the limit for six or seven thousand officers and soldiers to fight at the same time.

    "Falling rocks!"

    Xiao Zongxian shouted loudly.

    Hu Dinggui and Chen Fugui hurriedly commanded the soldiers to push the stone down the slope.

    One boulder knocked over at least five or six officers and soldiers, and eight boulders went down, killing and injuring more than 50 people at once. Such scenes appeared in many places on the mountain.

    The three thousand Xiangyong under Zhu Tongyi's command suddenly collapsed hundreds of people, and turned to flee for their lives down the mountain.

    "The supervisory team stepped forward!"

    ?Zhu Xieyuan was in command at the foot of the mountain. With an order, the supervisory teams from all over the place stepped forward one after another, beheading and driving the defeated soldiers to attack the mountain again.

    Zhu Xieyuan turned around and looked at the rear, where there were five thousand reinforcements from the rebels.  He also took advantage of the favorable terrain, waiting for the other party to come to rescue, and then they can be eliminated together.

    Attacking the mountain for a full afternoon did not make the slightest progress.

    However, the rolling stones and rolling logs of the mountain guards and rebels have almost been consumed.

    Two miles down the mountain, Li Zheng frowned and said, "Are we just watching Lao Huang being besieged?"

    "What's the rush? This is only the first day," Fei Yinggong said. "It will take at least two or three days until the officers and soldiers show signs of fatigue before they have a chance to seize the loopholes. Let's go back to the camp and stick to it. If we stay here, we will  I'm afraid the governor will divide his troops?? 

    "Withdraw!"

    Hu Dinggui chased and killed more than 20 steps, and after stabbing the fourth enemy, he immediately called the whole team to retreat.

    "Damn it, my eyes are also smoked," one of Hu Dinggui's soldiers couldn't help rubbing his eyes and complained, the more he rubbed, the more he couldn't stop crying, "I have to tell the missionary officer and let him reflect that this thing is not good.  Put the peppers."

    "Don't talk nonsense," Hu Dinggui shouted, "Look at the right time, and throw ten thousand enemies!"

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Thousands of enemies exploded everywhere, and all the ministries launched a countercharge one after another, killing the brave in no time and no one dared to attack the mountain again.

    Zhu Xieyuan could only give a heavy reward, and also publicized that the rebels would take away their land.

    ? These big landlords, small landlords, and self-cultivating farmers brought weapons to attack the mountain again, but the morale of the house slaves and tenants mixed in there was not high.

    On the second day of attacking the mountain, ten thousand enemies were exhausted.

    The reinforcements of Li Zheng and Fei Yinggong still watched from a distance, and did not come to help.

    ? That night, the sound of drums and the trumpet of the charge intermingled, making it impossible to sleep peacefully on the mountain and down the mountain.

    "kill!"

    On the fourth watch, officers, soldiers and rebels launched sneak attacks almost at the same time, and each gained something, but none of them achieved much results.

    On the third day, continue to attack the mountain.

    There are many officers and soldiers, and they can take turns to rest, but the rest time of the Datong Army is shorter.

    Both sides were exhausted, but the soldiers of the Datong Army were even more exhausted.

    "kill!"

    On the afternoon of the third day, the officers and soldiers finally rushed to attack, and Hu Dinggui successfully repelled two attacks.

    "team leader!"

    "Old Chen!"

    Chen Fugui, who was born as a blacksmith, was pierced through the cotton armor in his abdomen. After killing the officers and soldiers, he covered his wound and laughed: "Haha, I'm fine, I can fight again! ?

 Body 201 [Strong Battle]

    ,

    Three days before the fierce battle, the situation of the two sides is as follows:

    There were more than 28,000 officers and soldiers in Jiangxi, 738 were killed and more than 3,700 were injured.

    The death rate was 2.63%, and the casualty rate was 13.5%.

    It seems that the casualty rate is high, but most of them are minor injuries, caused by falls and sprains when fleeing down the mountain.

    A sprained ankle is also considered an injury, and it is also a headache. Soldiers cannot be allowed to limp and charge up the mountain.

    Datong had more than 5,000 soldiers, 6 were killed and 47 were injured.

    ?It seems that the casualty rate is very low, but the rolling stones, rolling logs, and ten thousand enemies have all been used up.  The simple fortifications were destroyed in many places, and the soldiers of the Datong Army were far more exhausted than the officers and soldiers, because there were more officers and soldiers and they could fight with wheels.

    The real hard battle has just begun.

    The Datong Navy has just returned to Ji'an at this moment, and the river course from Zhangshu Town to Fengcheng County is completely dominated by officers and soldiers.

    The 400 soldiers brought by Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu had to disembark at Linjiang Mansion and go overland to support the Lion Mountain battlefield.  The magistrate helped recruit a thousand civilians to help four hundred soldiers transport armor and food. Although the straight-line distance was only 40 miles, several small rivers had to be crossed.

    At noon on the third day of the Lion Mountain offensive and defensive battle, four hundred soldiers crossed the last river and entered the mountain to get in touch with members of the peasant association hiding in the mountains.

    After asking about the situation, I contacted Li Zheng and Fei Yinggong further north.

    "When will the fight start?" Zhang Tieniu asked.

    Fei Yinggong said: "Don't worry, Huang Yao hasn't lit the beacon yet, so he can hold it for now."

    Once the beacon fire is lit on the Lion Rock, it means that it will soon be unable to hold on.

    Li Zheng also said: "It takes more than one day, and the longer it is delayed, the lower the morale of the officers and soldiers."

    So, Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu led 400 soldiers and joined the ranks of watching the play, watching the officers and soldiers attacking Lion Mountain from a distance.

    The west side of Lion Mountain is adjacent to the river, but there are artificial rivers on the other three sides and farther away.

    The entire mountain, together with the surrounding land, can be regarded as a large-scale water conservancy facility. For specific functions, please refer to Dujiangyan.

    Hundreds of years later in another time and space, Liu Shuai wiped out a regular division of the National Army on Lion Mountain here.

    If Li Zheng, Fei Yinggong, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Zhu and others wanted to attack the officers and soldiers down the mountain, they had to cross the artificial river, and they were easily attacked by Zhu Xieyuan halfway across.

    Just in the evening of the same day, Zhu Guoxun, the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi Province, sent 200 officers, soldiers and sailors to assist in the battle.

    To be precise, they were Zhu Guoxun's personal soldiers, all of whom were confidantes brought from Fujian, and half of the two hundred men could handle artillery.

    "Inspector, the cannon is coming!"

    "Hurry up and bring it here!"

    Twenty Franc cannons were purchased from Zheng Zhilong at a high price.  After spending more than half a year, it finally arrived in Jiangxi, and Zhu Guoxun hurriedly sent someone to deliver it.

    The morning of the fourth day.

    The simple fortifications that were destroyed on the mountain were repaired overnight.

    Twenty French cannons were carried to the half-hillside for assembly, and began to fire at the fortifications and positions.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The first round was a test firing, and only one shell hit the target.

    Hundreds of steps away from Hu Dinggui, another brigade's defensive area, the simple fortifications were blasted open a gap.

    Although the power of the Fran cannon is small, the fortifications of the Datong Army are not strong.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    It was another round of salvo, and the firing rate of the Franc machine gun was very fast. The standard configuration of a cannon is five sub-guns.  Each sub-gun can be filled with ammunition first, and can be fired directly after being replaced, which is a bit similar to a rifle magazine.

    In the 30-man brigade in that position, two people were killed by shells in an instant, and one person had his arm broken.

    The rest of the soldiers ran away one after another.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Another salvo.

    Only one person was killed this time, but the morale of the Datong defenders dropped rapidly, and they were considered elite soldiers if they did not collapse on the spot.

    "Defend my hometown, protect my fields!"

    Scholar Wan Huaxin started to attack the mountain with self-recruited courage. After he went into battle on the first day, he had rested for two days and two nights.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    When the officers and soldiers charged, another round of artillery hit it.

    ? While the courage of the township, who has recharged his batteries, his morale is boosted, he is really a little guilty, for fear of being accidentally injured by his own artillery.

    Of course the artillery did not dare to fire again, so they took the opportunity to disassemble and carry it away, and cooled the barrel by the way, intending to aim at another position and fire.

    "Get up, get up, line up!"

    Most of the fortifications here have been demolished.?Able to drink a small amount of mountain spring water, as well as some water stored in advance.

    Hu Dinggui suffered two injuries to his legs and one injury to his chest. If it wasn't for the protection of the cotton armor, he would have died long ago.

    He ordered a count of the number of people, and there were only 16 people left in his team of 30 people.

    However, after abandoning the first line of defense, the second line of defense is more conducive to holding on, and the problem of insufficient drinking water can be temporarily ignored.

    Although the officers and soldiers occupy the first line of defense and seem to have made a major breakthrough, the camp at the foot of the mountain has already become noisy.

    "Master, you can't fight anymore, if you fight again, there will be deserters!"

    "The Zhao bandit from Luling knows how to bewitch, so he must have invited the gods, and every one of the traitors will be killed."

    "That's right, more than half of the casualties will not retreat, it must be using black magic!"

    "Supervisor Rong, the Xiangyong recruited by the late students is no longer willing to fight. The last attack was defeated after a few casual pokes, and all the Xiangyong were scared!"

    ""

    Adding up the first three days, only more than 700 officers and soldiers were killed.

    On the fourth day of the bloody battle, more than 3,100 officers and soldiers were killed in just one day, and there were thousands of wounded in various conditions (most of them were still injured by fleeing and falling).

    The death rate has exceeded 10%. The reason why there is no large-scale rout is purely because both sides are scattered on the surrounding hillsides.  If the two armies gather to confront each other, based on this death rate alone, the entire army will have already fled.

    On the other side of the Datong Army, the casualties in the dangerous terrain were very small.

    The really serious losses are in positions with less steep terrain, and the casualty rate of individual sentries has exceeded 50%.  In particular, the charge of the Tengjia soldiers caused heavy losses to the Datong soldiers, and they had to give up the first line of defense.

    In one day, the Datong Army suffered more than 1,200 casualties.

    Among them, 441 were killed, 106 were seriously injured, and the rest were minor injuries of varying degrees.

    Casualties mainly came from being too tired, the reaction speed slowed down, the formation became loose, and the impact of rattan armored soldiers.

    Otherwise, the Datong Army occupied a favorable terrain to defend, and the officers and soldiers were easily defeated. How could they not even lose 1 to 10 battle losses?

    "Supervisor, I can't fight any more!"

    There was a quarrel in the big camp, Zhu Xieyuan hesitated, and he was already riding a tiger at this time.

    The situation of besieging the rebels this time was completely beyond Zhu Xieyuan's expectations.  He has never seen this kind of army, and he can't even imagine in his dreams that there is such an army that is not afraid of death in the world!

    If the troops are withdrawn now, even if they can return to Nanchang safely, the officers and soldiers will inevitably be terrified when they hear of the rebels in the future.

    The officers and soldiers have been killed, feared at the level of spiritual will.

    After that, we will fight again, I am afraid that every time we face each other, there will be countless people who flee from the wind!

    But if you don't withdraw your troops today, you won't be able to fight again tomorrow. The rattan armored soldiers can continue to use them, but Xiangyong is tired of fighting.  The few attacks in the evening were all pretending to fight, and fleeing after receiving the battle is considered a warrior, and many village braves fled halfway through the charge.

    "Every time the drum is tapped, the troops will be withdrawn at midnight!"

    It takes about twenty-four minutes at one o'clock, that is, every twenty-four minutes, the Datong soldiers are disturbed by drumming.

    While beating drums and preparing to withdraw, Zhu Xieyuan wanted the whole army to flee.

    This battle is really impossible to fight, not to mention the siege for eight days, and the siege for two more days, the officers and soldiers will desert every night, and half of them will escape at night after the siege for five days.

    After all, Wang Tingshi was a governor, and he was left alone by Zhu Xieyuan.

    "Why do the thieves and soldiers die, but the officers and soldiers are intimidated?" Zhu Xieyuan looked at the Lion Mountain and said to himself.

    Wang Tingshi said: "The rebels are all allocated to the land. To protect the land, they must die."

    Zhu Xieyuan pointed to the barracks and said: "But these brave men are mostly sons of good families, and they fight to keep their own land."

    ?Wang Tingshi said: "Prime people protect their lands to protect their lives. Gentlemen protect their lands to protect their wealth."

    "No, no, there must be more than that." Zhu Xieyuan shook his head again and again.

    Not only Xiangyong was afraid of being killed, but Zhu Xieyuan himself was also afraid. Fear and powerlessness were mixed in his heart. He really didn't know how to fight in the future.

    The same terrain, the same force, if it is replaced by the conquest of the chieftains of Sichuan and Guizhou, those chieftain soldiers can last up to three days!

    Zhu Xieyuan lost confidence in this mountain attack.

    The coach is no longer confident, can he still count on the soldiers below?

 Body 202 [Broken] (addition for the leader "Hengfeng")

    ,

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The sky is full of moon and stars, and the drums and thunder are beating everywhere.

    Huang Yao sat by the campfire and let the soldiers bandage his wound.

    Zhao Han firmly occupies Zhangshu Town. As the distribution center of medicinal materials in the south, the most important thing he lacks now is medicine.  Moreover, the two drug dealers who presented the excellent golden sore medicine formula were recognized and supported by Zhao Han, including the one who punished Fei Chun's parents according to law.

    "There is something wrong with the war drums of the officers and soldiers tonight. They beat five times in just one watch." Huang Yao frowned.

    Mission officer Tu Menggu said: "Either plan to attack at night, or plan to escape."

    Huang Yao suddenly smiled and said: "Yo, Mr. Tu also knows how to fight, and he can see through the intentions of officers and soldiers."

    The Tu family also belongs to the common surname in Jiangxi, and its ancestor is Tu Qin, who supported Sima Rui and proclaimed himself emperor.  In the area of ??Nanchang and Fengcheng, there are a lot of people with the surname Tu. There are several descendants of rich families who defected to Zhao Han, and there are also many recruits to help Zhu Xieyuan fight.

    Tu Menggu said: "This afternoon, I shuttled between various positions, encouraging the morale of our army, and at the same time observing the enemy's movements. After noon, officers and soldiers are more and more likely to flee, and in the evening, many officers and soldiers have not yet approached the positions.  , was already frightened and fled down the mountain.”

    "We have a low life. It doesn't matter if we die. The general town will take care of it, and orphans and widows will not be bullied." Huang Yao pointed at the foot of the mountain.  If you die, your family's land and real estate may be taken over by your relatives. You are a good family member, are you willing to work hard?"

    "Hey, I definitely don't want to." Tu Menggu said with a smile.

    After the wound was bandaged, Huang Yao got up immediately: "The officers and soldiers will flee tonight, it depends on whether Lao Li (Li Zheng) dares to come and take advantage of it!"

    Li Zheng didn't wait, and the officers and soldiers suddenly attacked at night.

    The surviving more than a thousand rattan armored soldiers and several thousand "elite" officers and soldiers suddenly launched night raids on various positions.

    The Datong Army paid the price of more than 40 casualties and finally interrupted the attack of the officers and soldiers.

    Tu Menggu wondered: "Could it be that the officers and soldiers are not fleeing, but fighting to the death with us? After another two days, our army will have no water supply."

    Huang Yao shook his head and said: "The officers and soldiers can't fight anymore. In the hands of Governor Zhu, only one or two thousand rattan armored soldiers are effective. But this is not fighting on flat ground. Our army's second line of defense is even more dangerous. How can the officers and soldiers be defeated so easily?"  What he can do is delay. Our army lost the first line of defense, and also lost the water source, until the day we have no water to drink. But how long can the morale of the officers and soldiers last? No matter how fierce the attack is tonight, the officers and soldiers will definitely die  retreat!"

    Huang Yao patrolled the various positions with injuries, prepared the soldiers for the pursuit down the mountain, and then leaned on the rock to take a nap.

    There is a drum beating down the mountain to tell the time on time, so he is not afraid of oversleeping.

    Nearly three o'clock, Huang Yao ordered the whole army to attack, no matter whether the officers and soldiers retreated or not, they must go to night raids to regain the first line of defense.

    "kill!"

    The Datong Army marched out in all directions and reached the first line of defense, only to find that the position was full of dummies made of thatch.

    "Beep beep beep beep~~~~"

    The sound of suona came from the direction of the artificial river, and then a suona was passed on from one suona to another, all of which were sent out by Li Zheng and Fei Yinggong along the way.

    The officers and soldiers retreated and were discovered by sentries.

    The sound of suona from near to far, tore through the silence of the night, and continued to spread to the mountains farther away.

    Immediately intercepting it must be too late, Li Zheng, Fei Yinggong, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Zhu and others directly led the troops to the northeast in an emergency, trying to go upstream to block the retreat of the officers and soldiers.

    They all came to nothing!

    Zhu Xieyuan did not follow the river all the way back to Nanchang, but crossed the river one mile south of Fengcheng.

    There is the narrowest part of the river, with a width of only 30 meters.

    Moreover, Zhu Xieyuan left a thousand officers and soldiers here, which can not only watch the defenders of Fengcheng County from south to north with the officers, soldiers and sailors in the Ganjiang River, but also make preparations for crossing the river in advance.

    The navy has been harassing Fengcheng County, and Jiang Liang, who is in charge of guarding the city, has not dared to act rashly these days, let alone cross the river to attack the thousand officers and soldiers.

    The location of these thousand officers and soldiers is disgusting, at the confluence of two small rivers.  Whether Jiang Liang from Fengcheng County came to attack, or Li Zheng and Fei Yinggong from the mountains came to attack, they had to cross the river first.  The officers and soldiers also prepared a lot of small boats, and they could escape by boat when the situation was not good.

    Before surrounding the mountain, Zhu Xieyuan had already planned his way out!

    More than 20,000 officers and soldiers followed the river and arrived at the ferry south of Fengcheng at dawn.

    Huang Yao led more than 3,000 tired soldiers and chased them all the way from the southwest.  Really exhausted soldiers, many soldiers wanted to doze off when they were walking, so they pulled on each other's belts with great effort.Frightened, the retreat turned into a rout.

    And it collapsed in a muddle.

    Wang Ting tried to mix among the routs, and he really wanted to turn against the water and revolt at this moment.  But the defeated soldiers didn't give him a chance, and the two thousand township warriors he recruited were also running away in a swarm, without knowing what the hell they were running away at all.

    Anyway, if someone escapes, we will follow suit. If we escape early and quickly, we will surely survive.

    "Master Supervisor, let's go, it will be too late for the rebels to cross the river!"

    Zhu Xieyuan was dragged away by his own soldiers. Those Guizhou rattan armored soldiers were very loyal, and they could form an formation to cover the retreat of the coach in the dark.

    "Damn, if I knew I shouldn't wear armor, I'm exhausted from running all the way!"

    Zhang Tieniu took off his armor and plunged into the river. His ax was a bit heavy, and Liu Zhu swam to the front soon.

    At this moment, Huang Yao also led his troops to chase after him.

    But his soldiers were too exhausted. Seeing that the officers and soldiers had dispersed, they all lay down by the river to sleep, and left the rest to the friendly troops to deal with slowly.

    "kill!"

    Jiangliang's 1,000 city guards were besieged for a while, and only 930 people were left to fight, and they took the lead in chasing and killing the routs.

    Li Zheng, Fei Yinggong, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Zhu and others also led troops across the river one after another, leaving only more than a hundred firecrackers and hundreds of archers.

    There are too many large and small rivers in Jiangxi. After chasing for several miles, there is another small river ahead.

    I saw countless broken soldiers jumping into the river, swam to the other side of the river and continued to flee.  The chasing soldiers also jumped into the river, and continued to chase after landing.

    If you give them each a bicycle, it will truly become a triathlon.

    ?From dawn to morning, many rout soldiers were so exhausted that they could only sit down and rest for a while, and then ran for their lives when they saw the pursuers coming.

    Those with poor physical strength couldn't run, so they just lay flat there, doing whatever they wanted, killing or cutting, whatever they wanted.

    Wang Tingshi's physical strength was even weaker. He was lying on the riverside, and when he saw Datong soldiers chasing him, he quickly shouted: "I am Zhao Zongzhen's internal response, don't kill me!"

    Although the officers, soldiers and sailors in the Ganjiang River in the north did not dare to go ashore to fight, they also sent spies to check.

    Knowing that Zhu Xieyuan's entire army fled, Zhu Guoxun immediately ordered a retreat, and the navy retreated outside Nanchang City before stopping.

    This Jiangxi General Soldier is a parallel importer!

    ?He was fighting in Fujian. In three years, he was promoted from the general to the deputy commander. First, he followed Zheng Zhilong to win the battle, and second, he pretended to be someone else's military exploits by throwing money.

    The court officials thought that Zhu Guoxun was good at water warfare, and he would definitely show his prowess in suppressing bandits in Jiangxi.

    However, he did not dare to fight a tough battle

    ,

    Zhu Xieyuan was carried back by more than a thousand rattan armored soldiers. He was not injured, but tired.

    Escape from Fengcheng to Nanchang, a hundred miles, no more, no less, a total of ten rivers, big and small!

    With such a ghostly terrain, if the northern cavalry crossed the river, one can imagine how desperate it would be.

    It is very convenient for those rattan armor soldiers to cross the river, because the rattan armor is waterproof and fireproof, can float in the river, and can be directly converted into a life jacket.

    Zhao Han's weapons workshop is also making rattan armor.

    ?Because Zhao Han's army imitated Qi's army, among which the rattan players were very important.  The reason why it is called the rattan hand is that the shield is a rattan shield, which is lighter and more defensive than a wooden shield, and is exactly the same as the rattan armor.

    There is no rush for this stuff, you have to pick yellow vines in the mountains and soak them repeatedly for more than one year before you can really start making them.

    It was already the next afternoon when Zhu Xieyuan fled back to Nanchang, and he immediately sent an order to gather up the defeated soldiers who had fled back.

    He saw the Jiangxi navy leaning on the shore, and quickly called Zhu Guoxun to ask: "Mr. Zhu, did the rebel navy show up?"

    "There seems to be an anti-thief navy cruising." Zhu Guoxun answered ambiguously.

    Hearing this answer, Zhu Xieyuan was furious, and wanted to draw out Shangfang's sword, and chop Zhu Guoxun to death on the spot with one sword!

    Forcibly suppressing his anger, Zhu Xieyuan warned: "The navy must always be on guard against rebels attacking Nanchang."

    "I would like to obey the military order of the supervisor." Zhu Guoxun knew that he was wrong, and behaved very respectfully.

    Two days later, Zhu Xieyuan only gathered more than 2,000 routs.

    On the other hand, the Datong Army, including the wounded officers and soldiers, only captured more than 7,000 prisoners.

    As for the remaining 20,000 officers and soldiers, of course not all of them died.  Most of them fled back to their hometowns directly, unwilling to fight for the imperial court again. Even if they were forcibly conscripted into the army in the future, they would definitely be ready to run away anytime and anywhere.

    "Cough cough cough cough!"

    In the Governor's Mansion, Zhu Xieyuan hid himself and coughed. He dared not let others know that he was sick.

    An old man in his seventies was carried across ten rivers, and it was no wonder he was so soaked in sun and sun that he couldn't get sick.  Historically, Zhu Xieyuan would have died of illness in Guizhou in two years, but now he just fell ill in another place

    Hu Dinggui slept for half a day and one night. Due to a leg injury, he stayed on Lion Rock and did not chase the enemy.

    After filling his stomach, Hu Dinggui limped to the barracks with a long gun, "What happened to Lao Chen?"

    The doctor in the army is changing Chen Fugui's dressing: "He has been suffering from fever, whether he can live or not depends entirely on himself."

    The wound on Chen Fugui's abdomen, the intestines can be seen faintly.  Fortunately, the cotton armor blocked the force, and the intestines were not punctured, but the wound infection was very fatal.

    Zhao Han also didn't know much about medical knowledge. For the wounded in the army, he only asked people to prepare highly distilled alcohol in advance, and emphasized that the bandages for dressing wounds must be boiled in boiling water.  As for the others, they can only be handed over to the ancient trauma doctors, but the golden sore medicine has always been effective.

    Hu Dinggui sat in front of Chen Fugui for a while, and went to visit other wounded.

    In the battle of Lion Mountain, although there were only more than 400 casualties, the total number of casualties was more than 1,000.  There were only more than 5,000 people in the entire army, and the casualty rate was as high as 25%.

    "ah!"

    There were screams from the tent next door. Hu Dinggui leaned on his spear and saw the doctor sawing the leg of a wounded man.

    It was a soldier whose calf was bruised by a shell. It was a bruise, but in fact a large piece of flesh was gone.  Although the wound was wiped with alcohol and the golden sore medicine was applied quickly, the hot and humid weather for several days still caused the wound to fester in a large area.  It was horrific, and the calf had to be amputated in order to save her life.

    Hu Dinggui came to the edge of the cliff and silently looked at the fields in the distance.

    "Your leg is injured, don't walk around carelessly." Xiao Zongxian did not know when he came behind him.

    This is Hu Dinggui's old chief, leading them to drag Yang Jiamo's servant.

    Xiao Zongxian was also very unlucky. In the fierce battle on the fourth day, he was injured just after the fight started, and was hit in the back of the head by the stones splashed by the shells.  If he hadn't been wearing a bamboo helmet, he might have died in battle for no apparent reason.

    Hu Dinggui smiled and said: "It's okay, I just scratched a few cuts, and the flesh is not very deep."

    Xiao Zongxian took out a pen and paper: "How many did you kill? How many attacks did you repel?"

    "I don't know." Hu Dinggui shook his head.

    Ordinarily, the military exploits have to be counted every day, but on the fourth day of the fierce battle, the situation was critical and stalemate.  Even if the soldiers were replaced to rest, the missionaries and military judges would not bother them, and it has been delayed until now.

    Xiao Zong was helpless,It is within the tolerance of the government and the gentry—this tolerance is backed by the force of the Datong Army.

    In just two or three months, the small landlords, self-cultivators, tenants, and domestic slaves will no longer be willing to fight for the government after they have tasted the sweetness.  At that time, Zhu Xieyuan, not to mention conscripting troops in Nanchang Mansion, may not even be able to collect a few stones of food.

    As for the expansion of the territory, it is mainly in southern Jiangxi.

    Now Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others have explored the development routine.

    That is to say, the transfer of experienced assistant officials (county magistrate, master book, etc.) is appointed as the magistrate of the newly occupied land.  Then transfer experienced officials to serve as assistant officials in the newly occupied territory.  The original site will be promoted according to political performance and seniority, so as to make up for the vacancy after being transferred.

    There is no shortage of officials, and the more they are trained, the more they are trained. What is lacking now is official positions!

    After the victory of the Ganzhou War, the city of Ganzhou must be taken, mainly to alleviate the salt shortage and reduce the price of salt.

    Shen Youlong has been unable to stop Guangyan from going north, and Ganzhou has been stuck.  After the occupation of Ganzhou, the cheap and high-quality Guangzhou Salt was continuously imported, which immediately eased Zhao Han's financial difficulties.

    At the same time, Yudu County next to Ganzhou had to be occupied.

    In this way, the saltpeter mine in Ningdu County can be transported down the river from Yudu to Ganzhou, and then from Ganzhou to Ji'an.  In this way, the cost of buying saltpeter ore is greatly reduced, and more gunpowder can be produced in the future.

    Ganzhou City has not yet been won at this time.

    ?After the defeat of Fujian General Chen Tingdui, the 3,000 Fujian soldiers in charge of guarding the city had to release Governor Zou Weilian and asked Zou Weilian to take them to defend Ganzhou.

    Ganzhou, Yugutai.

    Fei Ruhe moved a chair and sat there, and used binoculars to observe the city when he had nothing to do. He liked this newly captured little thing very much.

    The eight-mirror platform at the head of the city can observe the surrounding rivers.  Yugutai on the mountain can observe the whole Ganzhou city.

    Liu Anfeng brought a few officials to the stage to meet him and said, "I've seen Zhao Bingyuan!"

    "Hey, old Liu is here," Fei Ruhe put down his binoculars and warmly greeted him, "The chief town actually asked you to be the magistrate of Ganzhou?"

    Liu Anfeng cupped his hands and said: "It all depends on the cultivation of the general town."

    Liu Anfeng was the county magistrate of Luling before, and his position in Zhao Han's territory is somewhat similar to that of Jing Zhaoyin.  The promotion of this position is either sent out to serve as the magistrate, or directly promoted to the General Military Mansion.

    Liu Anfeng can barely be considered a veteran, a poor scholar, who served in Yongyang Town.

    When it comes to the position of county magistrate, scholars must be used.  It is not necessary to be a scholar with fame and fame, but to be proficient in writing, calligraphy and arithmetic. It is also acceptable for house slaves and actors to have read books.

    There was a domestic slave named Xiao Gui who had already been promoted to the county magistrate of Longquan.

    Fei Ruhe asked, "Which territories are you going to fight this time?"

    "In addition to Ganzhou City, the four counties of Nankang, Shangyou, Yudu, and Xingguo must be taken," Liu Anfeng conveyed the order of the General Army Mansion, "Nankang is the southern gate of Ganzhou Prefecture, and Shangyu is the gate of Ganzhou Prefecture.  The west gate, Yudu is the east gate of Ganzhou Prefecture, and only by occupying these three counties can we hold the throat. As for Xingguo, after taking this county, we can connect several counties in the south into one."

    Fei Ruhe said: "In addition to Gan County in Ganzhou City, the land of five counties has increased sharply. Are there so many officials?"

    "Yes," Liu Anfeng explained, "The yamen of each prefecture, county, and town will transfer some assistant officials and officials to come here, and the vacant positions will be filled by officials."

    "That's okay," Fei Ruhe asked again, "How many of Zou Weilian's family members have they brought?"

    Liu Anfeng said: "His mother is old and inconvenient to travel far, so she only brought her eldest son, Zou Liangyi. Zou Liangyi has already joined us, and this time he came to Ganzhou, he can be a civil servant in Gan County."

    Fei Ruhe said with a headache: "Then quickly ask him to persuade him to surrender, this city of Ganzhou is really hard to fight."

    Zou Liangyi was only seventeen years old. Before he was taken away, he was studying hard for a talent test.  He was thrown to Bailuzhou Academy, where he studied for more than half a year, and he already recognized the idea of ??Datong in his heart, but he was a little reluctant to part with his own land.

    But no matter how reluctant he is, now he can only give up. His whole family has been captured by the rebels.

    Moreover, when she left home, her grandmother gave away her property. Zou Liangyi has now been reduced to a "landless class".

    Anyway, there is no land at home, why don't you work with Mr. Zhao?

    "I am the son of Governor Zou, let me go up!" Zou Liangyi shouted standing under the city.

    The officers and soldiers guarding the city immediately hung him into the city.

    In fact, these Fujian soldiers also wanted to surrender, but the terms had not yet been negotiated.  In order to surrender smoothly, they didn't even plunder the city, they just wanted to make a good impression on Zhao Han.

    At this very moment, Zou Weilian was playing chess with Liu Huan, the prefect of Ganzhou.

    They all knew that Ganzhou would be lost, so they didn't dedicate the city immediately. It was simply that all the city gates were in the hands of Fujian soldiers.

    Zou Weilian and Liu Huan were in charge of negotiating with the enemy, and they surrendered if they reached an agreement.  If they can't reach an agreement, those Fujian soldiers will wantonly harm the people of Fucheng before they die.

    "Father, the baby is here!" Zou Liangyi cupped his hands.

    Zou Weilian stared at the chessboard, put down a piece for a long time, and asked, "Are you a thief?"

    "Yes," Zou Liangyi said, "Mr. Zhao sent troops to take away the young and old. When we left, my grandmother had donated all the land to the clan relatives, slaves and tenants. Father, our family has no land, and we have to divide the land."  Not under our name."

    Zou Weilian finally raised his head, glared at his son and said, "Is this a matter of dividing the land?"

    Zou Liangyi said: "Father, my son has already grasped Mr. Zhao's knowledge. The land under heaven is really a matter of dividing the land. Nowadays, the gentry and tyrants have annexed the land, so that the tillers have no land, and the court can hardly collect taxes. The poor get poorer, and the rich  The richer you get, the treasury will be empty. If the poor cannot live, they will fight for their lives. The treasury will be empty and cannot be suppressed, and sooner or later the great Ming will be overthrown."

    Liu Huan, the magistrate of Ganzhou, said with a smile: "Brother Dehui, the tiger father has no dogs. It is rare for your son to have such insight."

    Zou Weilian finally showed surprise on his face, and asked, "Did you learn all this from the rebels?"

    "Father, let's read this book." Zou Liangyi handed over a copy of "The Collection of Great Harmony".

    Zou Weilian has heard of this book. As long as merchant ships from the north pass through Ji'an Mansion, they will be killed.Landlord.  "

    During the Hongwu period, the population of Ningdu County exceeded 150,000.

    During the Wanli period, the population of Ningdu County was less than 20,000.

    This is not real data, but many local populations, which are hidden by landlords.  As for 60 to 70% of Fujianese, their household registration is still in Fujian, and they have not registered locally at all.

    The first few batches of Fujian tenants quickly became rich by farming because they banded together to deal with the landlords.

    What was the situation at that time?

    The landlord mainly pays heavy taxes to the government, and the tenant only pays normal rent to the landlord.  The output of one mu of land and the income of the tenants are three or four times that of the landlords!

    After two or three generations of farming, some tenants who have made a fortune began to no longer want to work the fields themselves.

    As a result, they recruited more fellow villagers from Fujian, sublet the land, and turned themselves into wealthy tenants and tenants who reap the benefits.

    Thus, a three-level relationship is formed: landlord-rich tenant-tenant.

    Even after making money, many wealthy tenants returned to Fujian to buy houses and land, while still working as tenants in Jiangxi.

    The low-level tenants in the southern Jiangxi area were double oppressed by landlords and wealthy tenants!

    However, in order to protect their own interests, the wealthy tenants often provoke conflicts between tenants and landlords.  They let the landlords and tenants fight, and they reap the benefits themselves. Many Tianbing uprisings were also planned by the landlords.

    Wei Jiaju said: "Mr. Zhao, I have read "The Collection of Datong". If we divide the fields in the southern Jiangxi region, we will not only attack the landlords, but also suppress those wealthy tenants. Moreover, the wealthy tenants and tenants are all Fujianese, mostly Hakkas.  Beware of wealthy tenants instigating tenants, not to mention fighting against the government, they fight for water with thousands of people at every turn!"

    This narration opened Zhao Han's horizons, and he decided to send Chen Maosheng to preside over the work himself.

 Text 205 [Specific analysis of specific issues]

    The Wei family belonged to a large family in Ningdu. Their ancestral home was in Sichuan, and they moved to Fujian in the Southern Song Dynasty.  Now it is divided into two branches, one living in southern Jiangxi and the other living in western Fujian.

    Judging from his ancestral home, Wei Jiaju can be from Sichuan or Fujian.  But the Wei family moved to Ningdu very early, and they can be counted as natives of Jiangxi.

    During the Jiajing period, there was a catastrophe in Ningdu, and the Wei family donated grain and ten thousand stones at one time to help the magistrate to relieve the victims, which shows his strong financial resources.  Jiajing issued an imperial decree to set up a memorial archway and give a crown belt. The Wei family took the opportunity to build the imperial decree gate, so it is also called "the imperial decree gate Wei".

    The Wei family insisted on inheriting the poems and etiquette, but it was very embarrassing. In two hundred years, there was not even a single person

    Zhao Han called all the top management to a meeting and asked Wei Jiaju to tell the situation in Nangan.

    Wei Jiaju bowed his hands to the crowd, repeated what he had said before, and added: "Gentlemen, there are differences in different places in southern Jiangxi. Gan County is actually quite normal. There are very few luxury tenants around the capital city of Ganzhou. The further west  , The further south you go, the more Hakka people come from Fujian and Guangdong.”

    "So that's how it is," Chen Maosheng nodded. "It's no wonder that the establishment of a farmers' association outside Ganzhou City did not encounter much resistance."

    Wei Jiaju said again: "Even within a county, the situation is also different. I am from Ningdu, and I know Ningdu County best. In the Shangsan Township in the north of Ningdu, most of them are natives of Jiangxi; in the Xiasan Township in the south of Ningdu, all the tenants  They are from Fujian, and most of them are from Tingzhou, Fujian. Among these Tingzhou people, most are from Shanghang, and a few are from Liancheng."

    The more Zhao Han heard it, the more headache he felt. Leaving aside his Hakka identity, this kind of tenant tenants who call for friends and friends are equivalent to Fujian migrant workers who come to Jiangxi to work in a group.

    What is even more frightening is that these migrant workers have reproduced in Jiangxi for several generations, and they have no local household registration and no land!

    They must be given household registration, and they must be allocated land, otherwise it will be an unstable factor.

    The situation in the southern Jiangxi area is extremely complicated. When Wang Shouren was suppressing bandits here, he reported to the imperial court in the twelfth year of Zhengde that the Chongyi area was all Cantonese.  There are not only the Hakka people, but also the people of the Yao nationality, all of whom were refugees resettled by the governor in the early years.  These refugees cut down mountains to open up wasteland and contributed to the development of southern Jiangxi. At the same time, they also had conflicts with the local people. Most of the wasteland reclaimed was occupied by local rich people.

    In the southern Jiangxi region, the population dropped sharply in the mid-Ming Dynasty, not only because of the war.

    Many of them could not bear the oppression of the landlords, and their families fled to Huguang.  At that time, the southern part of Huguang was vast and sparsely populated, and there was a government-approved refugee settlement policy. Therefore, farmers in Jiangxi fled to open up wasteland, and almost half of the county and half of the county migrated to Huguang.

    And Zhao Han's site is a specialty of indigo dye, and the Datong military flag is also dyed blue with this dye.

    The indigo planting technology was spread to Ji'an Prefecture by the Fujianese who moved to the south of Jiangxi.

    Pang Chunlai asked suddenly: "You, the head of Ningdu County, why did you take the initiative to come to Ji'an Mansion to offer advice?"

    Wei Jiaju said very bluntly: "The Wei family is the largest family in Ningdu. My uncle, who went up to Wei and Xia Zhaofeng, was recruited by the emperor this year to be an official, but he was not granted. He is called 'Zhengjun'. Every time the county magistrate has government affairs, he must  Discuss with the clan uncle. The saltpeter purchased by Mr. Zhao is all sold by the Wei family!"

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, well, the Wei family turned out to be a supplier of saltpeter.

    Wei Jiaju added: "Now, Ningdu County is in chaos, and Mr. Zhao will take it sooner or later. The Wei family knows that it is difficult to protect the land, and I am afraid that it is also difficult to protect the saltpeter mine. After occupying Ningdu, Mr. Zhao, please license the Wei family to mine and supply saltpeter. Ningdu  There are also sulfur ore and iron ore, and Mr. Zhao is also allowed to mine them."

    "There are also sulfur mines?" Zhao Han asked in surprise.

    "Yes, and not a lot." Wei Jiaju said.

    This Nima has sulfur ore and saltpeter. If charcoal is fired again, the materials for gunpowder production will be collected directly, and a gunpowder production bureau can be set up locally in Ningdu.

    After careful consideration, Zhao Han said: "As long as the Wei family is committed to joining, I can license the Wei family to operate the nitrate and sulfur mines. However, the Wei family is not allowed to monopolize, and two more companies must join in. In this way, the three companies jointly mine, and the Wei family's mines  It can be slightly more. As for the iron ore, it must be handed over to the fourth company for operation."

    "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your kindness!" Wei Jiaju's purpose of this trip has been achieved.

    Zhao Han asked: "You said Ningdu County is in chaos?"

    Wei Jiaju replied: "There is a wealthy tenant who has gathered thousands of tenants and is besieging Ningdu County."

    Li Banghua felt very strange: "Why did the wealthy tenants rebel against the landlords and bully the tenants at the bottom, so why did they bring the tenants to revolt?"

    Wei Jiaju replied: "Every time a wealthy tenant beats a tenant to make trouble, it is nothing more than wanting to obtain the permanent tenancy rights of more land, and then sublease it to ordinary tenants."

    "What benefits does this have for ordinary tenants?" Chen said.The three counties of Jiangxi, Ruijin, and Ningdu were all rioting. Tens of thousands of Hakka tenants formed Tianbing, and native tenants in Jiangxi also began to join, and even spread to the entire southern Jiangxi.

    At this point in development, there is no distinction between Jiangxi people and Fujian people, and it is no longer a contradiction between natives and tourists, but directly leads to the most essential class contradiction!

    This place in Nangan belongs to a super powder keg. It will explode as soon as it is touched, and it will explode several counties.

    Chen Maosheng personally went to Ganzhou by boat, and conveyed Zhao Han's order to withdraw his troops for dozens of miles and let go of 3,000 Fujian soldiers.

    Dogs can't change eating shit, these officers and soldiers didn't go far, and started looting as far as the capital county.

    ?The landlords and tenants who were attacking each other were forced to join forces to drive away 3,000 officers and soldiers.  Then they continued to fight, and under the instigation of Hao Dian, they staged a vendetta against the natives day after day.

    The landlord lost to Tian Bing and asked Fei Ruhe to lead troops into the county. This is their usual practice, using the government to suppress tenants.  &lt;/div&gt

    Ganzhou.

    ? Chen Maosheng first went to see Fei Ruhe, then the magistrate Liu Anfeng, and finally summoned the mission officer and the backbone of the peasant association.

    The news I got was a headache, Hakka is not so easy to learn!

    The Hakka dialect in the southern Jiangxi area can be roughly divided into three types. Although they can communicate with each other, they are very unfriendly to outsiders who are just learning.

    "Handle the propaganda," said Li Xiaoyi, who is in charge of missionary work in Ganzhou, "we should learn the Hakka dialect, but we must also recruit the local Hakka people.  A lot of relying on the Hakka people to advance. Some of the Hakka people have long been able to speak Jiangxi dialect, and they can also read and write."

    ? Chen Maosheng asked: "In addition to the wealthy tenants and low-level tenants, are there any small Hakka landlords and self-cultivating farmers in Southern Jiangxi?"

    "Yes, and there are quite a few of them," Li Xiaoyi said, "I suggest that some small Hakka landowners should not distribute their fields for the time being, even if they exceed one hundred mu."

    "Why is that so?" Chen Maosheng frowned.

    Li Xiaoyi said: "I have visited the villages and found a very unexpected phenomenon. Many villages, the whole village is full of Hakka people. Especially those remote villages, they have moved from Fujian and Guangdong for decades, and they have earned their family property entirely by opening up wasteland.  These lands are relatively barren, and they used to be barren mountains and ridges, which were cultivated by them with one scythe and one hoe, and they did not exploit the tenants."

    Well, this is different from what Wei Jiaju said. It seems that the situation in Nangan is more complicated than imagined.

    "Are there any big landlords in these remote villages?" Chen Maosheng asked.

    Li Xiaoyi shook his head and said: "There are no big landlords. They moved from Fujian and Guangdong. The roads are blue and the roads are poor, and the land is poor. It has only been a hundred years. How can there be any big landlords? The remote villages in the mountains are mostly self-cultivating farmers and small landlords. There are no landowners at all.  It is necessary to divide the fields. Moreover, there are very few landowners with more than 100 mu of land, almost negligible.”

    Chen Maosheng said: "I have to send someone to ask the town for instructions."

    After chatting with the mission officer, Chen Maosheng went to see Zou Weilian and Liu Huan again.

    In the original time and space, Zou Weilian should have died of illness last year.  He made great achievements in Fujian, but was framed by Wen Tiren and dismissed from office. After Wen Tiren fell, Emperor Chongzhen remembered him, and found out that Wen Tiren had passed away.

    Many ministers are like this. They live well if they don't leave office, but they die of illness within a year or two after returning home.

    The same is true for Wen Tiren, who was alive and kicking when he was in court, but died of illness the second year after losing his official position.

    At least now it seems that Zou Weilian is free from disease and pain, and can live for at least ten or eight years.

    Zou Liangyi introduced: "Father, this is Mr. Chen Yumaosheng, the Missionary Secretary."

    "Mr. Zou, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Chen Maosheng cupped his hands.

    Zou Weilian raised his hand to return the salute, his movements were a little forced, and his smile was also a little forced.

    Chen Maosheng cupped his hands again and said, "I met Mr. Liu."

    "It's a pleasure to meet you." Liu Huan was very natural, and her attitude was ambiguous, and she never said whether she would like to join her.

    The only trace of Liu Huan, the magistrate of Ganzhou in the Ming Dynasty, left in historical materials is the inscription on the plaque for Kongtong Temple in Ganzhou.

    Zou Weilian was always in a low mood while drinking tea and chatting.

    Finally, Chen Maosheng asked: "Ask the two gentlemen, what is the situation of the Hakka people in Nangan?"

    Zou Weilian pointed to Liu Huan: "Ask him about this."

    Liu Huan said with a smile, "I'm Bucai. I'm originally from Guangdong. I'm a Hakka."

    Chen Maosheng said quickly: "Mr. Liu, please give me your advice."

    Liu Huan recounted: "The Hakka people migrated southwards from the Jin Dynasty. Many of the Hakka people in Southern Jiangxi migrated from Fujian and Guangdong at the end of the Song Dynasty. After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of Hakka people in Southern Jiangxi moved back to Fujian and Guangdong.  "

    "Why did they move back after nearly a hundred years?" Chen Maosheng asked.

    Liu Huan explained: "During the Jiajing period, Japanese pirates harassed and harassed a large number of coastal people to the inland, resulting in a large population in eastern Guangdong and western Fujian. It happened that due to the war in southern Jiangxi, a large number of people dispersed. The Hakka people in eastern Guangdong and western Fujian  , they moved to southern Jiangxi in groups.”

    There is another situation that Wei Jiaju didn't explain clearly.

    After Wang Yangming and other ministers suppressed the bandits, especially when guest soldiers from other provinces raged, many villages in southern Jiangxi were emptied, and landlords fled to settle in county towns one after another.

    Whole villages and villages of Hakka people moved in, some became rich as tenants, and they became the main tenants, forming today's luxury tenants.  After hundreds of years of development, many wealthy tenants have been transformed into big landlords, so there are also conflicts between Hakka landlords and tenants.

    Some of the Hakkas who migrated in the middle and late period of Jiajing became tenants, and most of them were tenants.?For the time being, there will be no contradictions between people and land, and there will be no class oppression.  Zhao Han's rule over them is the greatest oppression and the greatest contradiction. They don't want to pay taxes to Zhao Han!

    However, southern Jiangxi is full of mountains, and there are mountain people everywhere.

    Even if the missionary officers have learned the Hakka dialect, even if Hakka people join the missionary group, they can only effectively rule in the mountainous areas near the city and the flat areas along the river for the time being.

    In the mountains, I can't manage it for the time being.

    ? No wonder Nangan was a headache for Daming, no wonder Nangan was helpless for the Qing Dynasty, the situation in this place is really too complicated.

    ?We can't just rely on economic sanctions, but also lure them with benefits and show them kindness, so that we can achieve results with both kindness and power.

    After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Han wrote to Chen Maosheng again. The content was: select the mountain people who are willing to settle down, issue them a franchise license, allow them to buy 50 catties of salt every month, and sell 200 catties of goods in the mountains every month.

    If these people get rich, it depends on whether other mountain people can sit still!

    Blind sanctions can only make the mountain people feel the same hatred, and they must be internally divided.

    Southern Jiangxi must be well governed, because Zhao Han's development route is to capture Fujian and Guangdong after occupying the entire territory of Jiangxi, and Southern Jiangxi is a must pass through to connect Fujian and Guangdong.

 Text 207 [Kuang character generation] (addition for the leader "Huai Nanyue")

    After writing to Chen Maosheng, Zhao Han sent mass letters to the mayors of all poor counties asking them to report the situation of the mountain people.

    The town mayors replied one after another, complaining that the mountain people are not easy to manage.

    Take Yongning County as an example, there are only three towns in the whole county.  If the mayor visits the homes of the mountain people, sometimes he has to walk for a day or two each way, basically relying on the village chiefs of each village to exercise self-government (the village chiefs have no salary, and rely entirely on electricity generated by love, otherwise the finances will be dragged to collapse).

    Moreover, it has been three months since Yongning County was taken, and the work of dividing the fields in the mountains has not yet been completed.

    Looking at the report of Longquan County again, the work of dividing the fields was also not completed, and the reason was that the mountain roads were too difficult to walk.

    Fortunately, the mountain people in these places do not hold together like the Hakka people, and the contradictions between people and land are more prominent.  As long as the officials are sent and the land is distributed to them, the mountain people support Zhao Han very much, and the missionary group and the peasant association can develop smoothly.

    After thinking carefully, Zhao Han wrote an article: "Governance in the Mountains, Paving the Way is Essential".

    After this article was transcribed by the secretaries, it was immediately distributed to county and town officials.

    The main job of those mountain officials in the future will be to organize villagers to build roads.  The road sections are divided into villages and towns, and each village is responsible for its own section, farming when it is busy, and building roads when it is free.

    Of course, the promotion of sweet potatoes and corn cannot be relaxed either.

    Especially sweet potatoes, the mountains are barren, and that stuff can make farmers full.

    As for taxes and so on, in fact, Zhao Han didn't expect that the mountain people could support the local officials, and it would be good enough not to allow the General Military Mansion to allocate funds.

    Zhao Han walked back to the inner house slowly, and invited Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua to have dinner at home.

    Before evening, the three sat in the yard drinking tea.

    Zhao Han took out a piece of paper, handed it out, and said, "The characters are compiled, gentlemen, let's see."

    Pang Chunlai glanced at it, then handed it to Li Banghua.  Li Banghua glanced at it, then handed it back to Zhao Han.

    It has been more than half a year since the son was born, and he has not been named.

    Originally, Zhao Han took one, but both Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua objected.  This is the future prince, and the name must be spiritual, because it will set corresponding rules for future generations.

    For example, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son is called Zhu Biao, so all his sons are next to the word "wood".

    They asked Zhao Han to prepare the pedigree, and even participated in helping to formulate it, but Zhao Han vetoed the whole thing.

    Now, Zhao Han has made his own character generation, and the descendants of the past dynasties are sorted as follows: Kuang Shi Ji Min, governing the country and establishing the state.  An Fu poor poor, never forget the original aspirations.  Wenchang Wusheng, internal repair and external struggle.  Selecting the virtuous and emphasizing the ability will bring great light to the people.

    Li Banghua reminded: "Only thirty-two characters, is it too little?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I still think it's too much. I can pass on twenty emperors, and I can wake up laughingly even if they die. Ming Taizu has a lot of characters. How many generations can the Ming emperor use?"

    Li Banghua was speechless for a moment, never seen anything like this.

    Not to mention that the founding monarch determined the character generation, even ordinary big families would have a long list.  Fortunately, Zhao Han, with only thirty-two characters, seems to think that the descendants have passed on the country for too long.

    "It's better to add another thirty-two characters." Pang Chunlai suggested.

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "To be able to pass on thirty-two generations is ridiculously proud of the previous dynasties. If it goes on for thirty-two generations, it's the ability of the descendants, and it won't be too late for them to renew the order when the time comes."

    Zhao Han dipped his fingers in the tea and wrote the name of his eldest son on the stone table——Zhao Kuanghuan.

    The name is also particular. Zhao Han didn't want to be particular about it, but the ministers insisted on being particular about it.

    Ming is the virtue of fire, and water can overcome fire, so it is destiny for Zhao Han to replace the Ming Dynasty.  Otherwise, why does the name just have water next to it?

    Water grows wood, so sons should carry wooden characters.

    Huan, big, mighty.

    Zhao Kuanghuan, Zhao Kuanghuan Li Banghua said it twice, always feeling a little awkward. Fortunately, Zhao Han didn't name his son Zhao Kuangyin.

    Zhao Han is also very awkward. Could it be that his descendants also have a periodic table of elements?

    "Second brother, I'm back!"

    Zhao Zhenfang came bouncing in with her schoolbag on her back.

    Seeing Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Mr. Pang, Mr. Li."

    "Good!" Pang Chunlai said happily.

    Li Banghua sat cupping his hands, but did not stand up. He wanted to stand up before, but Zhao Han stopped him several times.

    Zhao Han asked: "What did you learn today?"

    Zhao Zhenfang stood behind her brother, lying on the back of the chair, and said: "I learned arithmetic in the morning, and I already knew it. In the afternoon, I practiced calligraphy, recited Tang poems, and taught female celebrities."

    "That's right, study hard." Zhao Han encouraged??, outside Nanchang Prefecture and Nanchang County, is now in the hands of the peasant association.  Farmers and tenants joined the peasant association one after another, and even some poor scholars were bewitched by the Zhao thief.  This year's autumn grain will definitely not be harvested.  "

    The collection date of the autumn grain tax is from the autumn grain harvest to February of the following year.

    When the peasant association developed, the officials in the city did not dare to go out, and one by one hid in the prefectural and county towns.

    The big landlords did not dare to stop the peasant association. It was indeed the battle of Fengcheng, and the officers and soldiers were defeated so badly.  They were afraid of attacking the peasant association, and they would be liquidated by Zhao Han in the future. At that time, the whole family would be wiped out.

    Nowadays, rumors are flying all over the sky. Some say that Zhao Han knows how to demonize, some say that Zhao Han is descended from the stars, and some say that Zhao Han is a slave of the Fei family in Qianshan.

    In order to hide his identity as much as possible, Zhao Han also sent people to spread rumors, saying that he was a slave of a certain clan in Jishui, a son of a concubine of a certain clan in Le'an, a son of a merchant from a certain clan in Fuzhou, and that he was actually a private servant.  Saltmonger.

    There were too many rumors, and the government couldn't ascertain the truth, so they didn't bother to track down Qianshan Fei.

    At this moment, Fei Yinghuan is still working as a prefect in Fujian.

    Wang Tingshi said in a low voice: "The Zuo Buzheng Ding Kuichu has been sick for several days. I am afraid that this person will hang his seal and leave."

    ? Zhu Xieyuan remained silent, even the chief envoy was terrified. Can Jiangxi be saved?

    Wang Tingshi took out another booklet, handed it over and said, "Master Supervisor, this is the book about anti-thieves that has been circulated recently."

    Zhu Xieyuan opened it and was completely speechless.

    "Records of Female Generals of Datong".

    ? One hundred and eight female missionary officers are included, from names to resumes, written clearly.

    If it is said that "The Collection of Datong" is for scholars, then this thing is only for women.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 208【Records of Xu Xiake's Experience】

    In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Xu Xiake traveled for the 16th time and the last time in his life.

    Originally, his original travel route was to go straight from Fuzhou to Ji'an, and visit Guifeng, Longhu Mountain, Magu Mountain, Qingyuan Mountain and so on along the way.  But the Luling Zhao thief made too much noise. Hearing that the abbot of Qingyuan Temple was abused (rumor) and died, Xu Xiake could only go to Nanchang to inquire about the situation.

    He hired a boat and came with a lot of luggage. He brought a long bag with him, and the crew on the ship helped to carry one bag, and he had to ask coolies on the dock to carry two bags.

    There is a dew pavilion on the pier, which is actually an advertising board, with many commercial information posted, and sometimes the imperial decree and government notices are also posted.

    I saw a group of people gathered there, and a scholar read aloud: "Mr. Zhao in Luling, we sincerely hire people who can build water-turning mills and water-turning spinning wheels. No matter the household or craftsman, there will be preferential treatment. If you make a machine  , reward twenty taels of silver, those who wish to stay as officials can be given official positions, and those who want to move their families can share the land with their families! Those who can improve the loom will also be rewarded!"

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in an uproar.

    A down-and-out scholar said angrily: "The bandit Zhao from Luling is so arrogant that he posted the notice to Nanchang Mansion!"

    "Liu Xianggong, don't you just scold, do you dare to tear up the anti-thief's notice?" A familiar person next to him teased.

    The desolate scholar immediately blushed: "Iwhy wouldn't I dare? There is an urgent matter at home today, I have to go back quickly, I will tear it up another day!"

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    Everyone laughed.

    Xu Xiake was inexplicably shocked when he heard it. The rebels posted the notice in the provincial capital, but no one dared to tear it up.

    Are all the officials of Jiangxi's third department deaf or blind?

    "I know about Water Turning Mill, but what is Water Turning Spinning Wheel?"

    "It's the water spinning wheel."

    "Oh, unfortunately I can't, otherwise I will definitely apply for the job."

    "Be careful, don't let the officials hear you."

    "What are you afraid of? Sooner or later, Nanchang will be taken over by the Zhao thieves. I heard from friends who have been to Linjiang Mansion that the people there live a good life, and the Zhao thieves don't collect exorbitant taxes."

    "This old cousin is right. My niece married and went to the countryside of Fengcheng. She got married quickly when the land was divided at the beginning of the year. I heard that as long as she married in time, she would be able to get four acres of land for herself. After she married, she really got it.  "

    "Then your niece is lucky, it's time to catch up."

    ""

    Xu Xiake felt that there was something wrong with his ears. This is the provincial capital of Jiangxi, and a group of people were actually discussing the topic of thieves in a serious manner.

    Xu Xiake couldn't help but ask the coolie he had hired: "The Luling bandit Zhao, why is he so arrogant?"

    The coolie replied with a smile: "During the autumn harvest, Mr. Zhao won a big battle. I heard that tens of thousands of officers and soldiers were lost. Now everyone is looking forward to it. Mr. Zhao will occupy Nanchang sooner, and the future will be brighter."  "

    "Farmers can divide their fields, what can you get?" Xu Xiake asked.

    The coolie said: "Under Mr. Zhao's rule, homeless people also have household registration."

    Xu Xiake was speechless for a moment. With only one household registration, the coolies were willing to follow the thief.

    The reason is very simple. The imperial court does not issue household registrations to homeless people, acquiescing to the existence of a large number of such black households.  But black households are black households after all, not only officials can oppress them at will, even ordinary people can bully them.  Even if these vagrants were cheated out of money, they could not go to the Yamen to file a lawsuit.

    On the way to the inn, Xu Xiake asked again: "The Luling Zhao thief, what is the job of recruiting a craftsman who can make water and turn a large spinning wheel?"

    "I don't know." The coolie shook his head and said.

    Of course it is to develop the textile industry!

    When it comes to the textile industry in the Ming Dynasty, it is Susong Changhu and other Jiangnan provinces.

    However, Jiangxi also has four major cotton-producing and textile areas, namely Jiujiang, Guangxin, Yuanzhou, and Ji'an, two of which belong to Zhao Han's territory.

    The "Ji'an Mansion Chronicle" of the Wanli Dynasty records: "The land does not mulch, but the kapok is worn."

    ?Before the orthodox dynasty of Yuanzhou Mansion, it was very inconvenient for farmers to transport cotton cloth and ramie (hemp) cloth to Anqing to earn grain for autumn.  Zhou Ying, the magistrate of Fenyi County in the orthodox dynasty, asked the court to use cotton cloth and ramie cloth to directly fold rice into the tax, and the court agreed.

    Farmers in a prefecture use cotton cloth and linen instead of autumn grain to pay taxes. It is conceivable that the local textile industry is very prosperous.

    However, the scale of the Jiangnan prefectures did not form, and no large-scale textile factories appeared. All weavers spun at home by themselves.

    Now Zhao Han is formulating an economic development plan——

    Linjiang Prefecture focuses on the development of medicinal materials, iron smelting, and commerce.

    ? Yuanzhou Prefecture focuses on the development of textiles, iron smelting, ceramics, and commerce.

    lucky?The Qingyuan Mountain in the Ming Dynasty was not just that one peak, the surrounding mountains were also collectively called Qingyuan Mountain.

    It was late autumn at this time, Xu Xiake went into the mountains and found that sweet potatoes were planted everywhere.

    ?Only a few mountain people are taking care of the fields, but most of the mountain people are building roads. Both men and women, even young and old, come to help.

    Four-year compulsory education cannot be extended to the mountains for the time being, and children still do farm work at a young age.

    Xu Xiake couldn't help walking over, clasped his fists and asked, "Old man, is the corvee heavy here?"

    "Building your own road, what kind of corvee?" In fact, the old man is not old. He is only in his fifties, but he has gray hair and wrinkles.

    Xu Xiake had no choice but to ask again: "It's not a corvee, can the government pay wages?"

    The old man smiled and said, "How much do you pay for building your own road?"

    Xu Xiake was puzzled and said: "If you don't pay wages, and it's not considered a corvee, then what is this road construction?"

    The old man said happily: "Mr. Zhao asked us to build the road, so we will do our best. The mountain road in this area belongs to Dashuao (village). When the road is repaired, it will be easier to go down the mountain. If you have nothing to do at home, it is better to come and repair it."  The road cannot be repaired this year, and it will be repaired next year, and it will be repaired sooner or later."

    "Didn't the government force you?" Xu Xiake asked.

    The old man was still laughing: "Do you need the government to force you to build your own road?"

    In fact, the reason is very simple. In the past, the biggest beneficiaries of road construction were the landowners in the mountains.

    Now the road construction, the beneficiaries are all farmers!

    The old man opened his mouth and said "build his own road", which shows that he has a sense of ownership.  They could not call the shots before, but now they can call the shots. They themselves are the masters of the mountain road.

    From the founding of New China to 2000 AD, Chinese farmers also built village roads in this way.

    ?Do not take any wages from the government, bring your own tools and dry food, dig mountains and rocks, and build your own roads.  After the repair is completed, it needs to be maintained every year. Men, women and children are working hard.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 209 [Agronomy Enthusiasts and Travelers]

    ,

    Xu Xiake came to Jiangxi this time, and his mother's will still needs to be fulfilled.

    During the Yongle period, Zhang Zonglian was demoted to be the Tongzhi of Changzhou.  Because of his honesty and integrity, he rescued the people, and when he died of illness, thousands of local people went to the funeral in plain clothes, and raised funds to build the "Zhanghou Ancestral Hall" for him.

    Two hundred years have passed, the incense has been burning, and the kindness is still remembered.

    Xu Xiake's mother's 78th birthday was supposed to be a birthday celebration, but all of it was donated to rebuild the collapsed Zhanghou Temple.  After the repairs were completed, Xu Xiake was told by his mother that he would visit Zhang Zonglian's descendants in the future and enshrine Zhang Zonglian's portrait, relics and calligraphy.

    Historically, he directly approached his relatives, that is, Xu Fusheng, the prefect of Ji'an, for help, and soon learned about Zhang Zonglian's descendants.

    But now, Xu Fusheng is already dead, and he was stabbed to death by Zhao Han himself when he cheated the city!

    Xu Xiake walked around Qingyuan Temple and felt that Zhao Han was not a villain.  As for Xu Fusheng's big vendetta, he didn't bother to pursue it, anyway, his relationship with Xu Fusheng was not very close.

    "Jiangyin Xu Hongzu, please see Mr. Zhao." Xu Xiake came to the General Military Mansion and asked to see him without any psychological burden.

    Suddenly, another scholar came with two servants: "De'an Chen Xisong, here to present the "Nongshu". In the book, there is a map of carrying water to turn a large spinning wheel!"

    The guard quickly said: "Mr. Chen, please come in." Then he said to Xu Xiake, "Mr. Xu, please wait a moment, I have to report first."

    Zhao Han had already ordered that those who donate water to turn the spinning wheel can be directly brought into the General Military Mansion.

    Chen Xisong was brought into the living room, and not long after, he saw a young man approaching.

    Or rather, more like a teenager.

    Zhao Han cupped his hands and said with a smile, "My humble Zhao Yan, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

    "ZhaoMr. Zhao?" Chen Xisong was quite surprised, and hurriedly bowed, "Meet Mr. Zhao."

    "Please sit down," Zhao Han asked with a smile, "Sir, come from De'an?"

    Chen Xisong replied: "Exactly, the late born came from the Chen family of Yimen, and has settled in De'an since the Tang Dynasty."

    Zhao Han really didn't know what the Chen family was, so he just praised politely: "It's a child of a famous family, it's a bit disappointing."

    ? During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yimen Chen family grew so strong that the imperial court feared it. Wen Yanbo, Bao Zheng and others suggested forcibly separating the family.

    How did you score in the end?

    The imperial court dispatched special officials to supervise, and divided the properties of the Yimen Chen family across several provinces into 291 shares, and then broke up the Chen family's children into 291 shares.  Then, Chen's property in Jiangxi was further divided into 47 shares.

    The Yimen Chen family is divided into 338 families in total!

    It's a pity that Zhao Han had never heard of it, so he asked directly after a few pleasantries, "Sir, can you build water and turn a spinning wheel?"

    Chen Xisong asked the servant to open the box, took out a thick stack of ancient books and said: "This is the "Nongshu", which records that water turns a spinning wheel, and it is rich in pictures and texts, so you can understand it at a glance."

    "Wang Zhen Nongshu" belongs to the works of the Yuan Dynasty. It was finalized in Yongfeng County next to Qianshan Mountain. It includes 5 episodes of Nongsang Tongjue, 11 episodes of Gu Pu, and 20 books of Agricultural Equipment Atlas.  Hundreds of years later, the original can no longer be found, and only part of the content can be found in the "Siku Quanshu", which was compiled and adapted into 22 volumes.

    Many contents of Xu Guangqi's "Nongzheng Quanshu" refer to "Wang Zhennongshu", and some of the contents are even directly copied.

    At this moment, "Nongzheng Quanshu" only has the manuscript, which has not been edited by Chen Zilong.

    Therefore, the "Wang Zhen Agricultural Book" in front of Zhao Han is the only existing agricultural book that takes into account the dry fields in the north and the paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River!

    "Let's watch Mr. Zhao." Chen Xisong took out one of the episodes.

    Sure enough, there are rich pictures and texts, and Zhao Han can understand the principle at a glance. It consists of four parts: spindle, twisting, water wheel and transmission device, but the details have to be done by craftsmen.

    The water-turned spinning wheel is actually a hydraulic spinning machine, but it can only spin long fibers such as ramie and silk, and cotton that wants to spin short fibers must be improved.

    Zhao Han continued to read other content. This book only has 20 episodes of farm tools, and the water spinning machine is also classified as a farm tool.

    These "farming tools" include simple machines such as levers and axles, as well as transmission and speed change mechanisms such as gears, cranks, sheaves, and connecting rods.

    Zhao Han flipped through an article casually, frowned and said, "Why don't farmers in Jiangxi use such a sharp weapon?"

    Chen Xisong looked over his head and explained: "This is a seedling horse. Although it is convenient, it may crush the seedlings. Nowadays, most of the paddy fields in Jiangxi are cultivated by tenants, and even one person can't occupy much of the field.  It's superfluous."

    The rice seedling horse is like a small boat with both sides tilted up. Farmers can ride on it. When transplanting rice seedlings, they can press the front end without bending over.

    &nbsThe local conditions and customs are very useful to Zhao Han.

    After chatting for an hour, Xu Xiake left the General Military Mansion.

    In the future, the servant who will take away all the belongings asked: "Master, this Zhao thief is not harmful."

    Xu Xiake sighed and said: "Oh, it's more than not harming people. I have traveled all over the world, and from what I have seen and heard over the years, only Zhao Yan's rule is the most stable. Given time, Zhao Yan will surely win the world, this is definitely unmistakable."

    The servant was surprised and said: "Why did the master say that? Is the Ming Dynasty going to perish?"

    "You don't know, you will know if you go to the north more often." Xu Xiake didn't bother to explain that the servant who traveled with him before died of illness, and now this servant was re-selected.

    Originally, I chose two, but the other servant ran away halfway, unwilling to follow Xu Xiake to his death.

    Back at the inn, Xu Xiake immediately wrote a diary, admiring Zhao Han.

    Of course, it only involves character and virtue. He dare not say in the text that the rebels will conquer the world.

    Zhang Zonglian's descendants were quickly found, and they lived a decent life. Although a large amount of land was taken away, they still kept the shop business.

    Zhang's family whispered bad things about Zhao Han, and Xu Xiake was inconvenient to say more, just thinking about the situation in his own family.

    Alas, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and they don't care whether they will divide the fields in the future.

    On Zhao Han's side, he was busy building roads, printing agricultural books, making large waterwheels, developing farmers' associations, researching and developing agricultural tools and agricultural technology, and officials at all levels were working at full speed.

    And the Ming court is discussing how to deal with the Luling Zhao thieves.

    Zhu Xieyuan must be sent to prison ?

 Body 210 [Recruit?  ] (addition for leader "KevinDu12345")

    The Luling Zhao bandits defeated the official army in Nanchang and Ganzhou respectively, and seized the capital city of Ganzhou.

    When the news reached Beijing, officials, civilians, and gentry had long since become numb.

    The so-called lice don't itch when there are too many lice. Tartars regard Gyeonggi as a public toilet, and they come and go whenever they want.  Is there anything worse in the world than this?

    The northwestern thieves have dug up the graves of the Zhu family ancestors, so what is the Luling Zhao thieves?

    For the people in the capital, when they heard the news about Jiangxi, their reaction was nothing more than this: What?  Luling Zhao thieves occupied several Jiangxi prefectures and killed several governors.  Oh, that's pretty cool.

    Only the ministers in the court know that Zhao thief is a serious problem!

    Jiangxi's contribution to Daming is neither too much nor too little, and it has always been ranked above the middle level.

    But Jiangxi is the thoroughfare of the eight provinces. Once the Zhao bandits are too big to lose, they can attack South Zhili in the north, Huguang in the west, Zhejiang in the east, and Fujian and Guangdong in the south!

    Qianqing palace.

    This time Chongzhen did not discuss matters in the Wenhua Hall, but summoned Yang Sichang alone.

    Zhang Fengyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, committed suicide in fear of crime because of the Tartars raging in Gyeonggi. Yang Sichang was the candidate for the new Minister of the Ministry of War.

    Chongzhen asked: "Northwest rogues, Liaodong Tartars, Jiangxi Zhao thieves. If you come to be Minister of the Ministry of War, how should you destroy them?"

    Yang Sichang immediately replied: "No more than three."

    "Tell me in detail." Chongzhen said hurriedly.

    Yang Sichang talked eloquently: "First, to fight against the outside world, you must first secure the inside; second, to have enough food and then enough soldiers; third, to protect the people before you can fight against the invaders. The general trend of the world is like the human body. The capital is like the brain, and Xuanji  The towns are the arms, the south of the Yellow River and the north of the Yangtze River are the heart, and the provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang are the legs and feet. Now, the Tartars are outside the arms, and they are very eager to take advantage of them;  "The area where the bandits Zhao ravaged the humerus is still mildly ill. External aggression cannot be slowed down, but internal troubles cannot be ignored. The heart is poisoned, the essence and blood are drying up, what is the use of the arm? What is the use of the humerus?"

    Chongzhen asked: "According to Qing's intention, first get rid of the bandits?"

    Yang Sichang said: "Now that the national treasury is empty, it is absolutely impossible to use troops in three places at the same time. You can first negotiate peace with the Tartars to stabilize the situation in Gyeonggi and stabilize the hearts of the courtiers. Then try to recruit the Zhao thieves in Jiangxi, and give high-ranking officials and rich salary, which may weaken their will  .”

    Chongzhen frowned and said: "The Tartar thief is a barbarian, fearing power and not being virtuous, I am afraid it will be difficult to truly negotiate peace. Zhao thief is also a hero. I think his ambition is quite high, and he cannot be tempted by high-ranking officials and rich salary."

    "It's all falsehood and snake ears, delaying the time to eliminate the traitors," Yang Sichang explained, "You can designate the Tatar chieftain as the king of Liao, and you can designate the traitor Zhao as the king of Gan. After the traitors are wiped out, the traitor Zhao in Jiangxi will be defeated, and finally that  Liaodong Tartars!"

    Chongzhen stood up and walked up and down the room. He really didn't want to make the bandits king.

    Moreover, he felt that the courtiers would not agree. Not only would it be impossible, but it would also make him lose face.

    However, Chongzhen was very fond of Yang Sichang and thought he was a great talent.  It was replaced by other ministers, who would just stand there like a piece of wood if they asked anything casually, as if they were mentally retarded, and they didn't know how to get a Jinshi.

    This Yang Sichang is very smart, quick-witted, eloquent and eloquent, and he can take on great responsibilities just by looking at it.

    Most importantly, Yang Sichang is a lone minister who does not form a party!

    Chongzhen did not talk about the matter of crowning the bandits and bandits as kings, but changed the topic and asked: "How to feed enough soldiers, how to protect the people from the bandits?"

    ? Yang Sichang didn't know what to say. His three suggestions were interlocking, and if the first was erased, there would be no second or third.

    Carefully sorting out his words, Yang Sichang replied: "Your Majesty, if you don't entrust the king to discuss peace, the three places will start a war together, and the military expenditure will increase day by day, and you will not be able to have enough food, and it will be impossible to rest with the people."

    Chongzhen didn't seem to understand, and asked again: "How to destroy the bandits?"

    Yang Sichang bit the bullet and said: "Four righteousness and six corners, nets on ten sides. Traitors are disasters. In first-class characters, they should be locked in their boxes and not allowed to move. With Shaanxi, Henan, Huguang, and Jiangbei as the four righteousnesses, the governors of the four provinces divide and suppress  Yansui, Shanxi, Shandong, Jiangnan, Jiangxi, and Sichuan are the six corners, and the six governors divide their defenses and cooperate in the suppression. This is the so-called ten-sided net. The governor, the prime minister, and the two ministers follow the thief's direction and focus on the crusade."

    "There are Zhao thieves in Jiangxi, and they can't take care of themselves. How can they help suppress the bandits?" Chongzhen shook his head.

    Yang Sichang said: "I think the Zhao bandits in Luling are indeed a serious problem. However, the soldiers from Jiangxi and Fujian are all gone, the soldiers from Guangdong and Guangxi are suppressing bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi, and the soldiers from southern Hunan have not yet been trained. This Zhao bandit  , There are no soldiers to suppress at all, and we can only recruit temporarily. The appointment of the governors of the five southern provinces is revoked, and the Zhao bandits are recruited to show sincerity. Zhao bandits claim to be the commander-in-chief of Jiangxi. Since your majesty does not want to be king, then simply appoint him as Ji'an  Commander-in-Chief, order him to go north quickly to encircle and suppress the bandits!"

    "If he??Xiong Wencan did not go to see the officials of Jiangxi Third Division, but called on Wang Yongzhong, the eunuch in charge of Jiangxi.

    Seeing Xiong Wencan, Wang Yongzhong breathed a sigh of relief, and lamented, "Xiong Fushuai, you've come, there are too many troublemakers here!"

    "Does Wang Zhenshou care about it?" Xiong Wencan asked.

    Wang Yongzhong didn't care about his face, and said directly: "Our family dare not go out of the city!"

    But this guy is domineering. When he left the city to enclose land, he was beaten back by members of the peasant association.

    Xiong Wencan was amazed, the people in Jiangxi were really amazing, the guarding eunuchs were so frightened that they dared not leave the city.

    Wang Yongzhong said again: "Hurry up and appease that thief Zhao, and let him disperse to the peasant association outside Nancheng, otherwise the eunuch guarding Jiangxi will be useless!"

    Xiong Wencan deliberately disgusted: "As the New Year approaches, it is better to go after the Lantern Festival."

    "Don't wait for the Chinese New Year, recruit now!" Wang Yongzhong said anxiously.

 Body 211 [Education Reform Plan]

    Nanchang.

    Xu Ying, the secret agent, is doing something that doesn't fit his identity. He is writing "Mathematics" and "Geometry" textbooks under Zhao Han's order.

    The content of "Mathematics" was taught by Zhao Han at Qianshan Hanzhu Academy.

    For the content of "Geometry", Xu Ying has already obtained "The Original Geometry" translated by Xu Guangqi.  However, there are only the first six volumes, and Xu Guangqi has no time to translate the subsequent content, but in the first volume he put forward concepts such as definitions and axioms.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    An official knocked on the door of the courtyard and said, "But Huang Zhongcong's family? The governor is here to invite you."

    Xu Ying put down the manuscript that was about to be edited and was about to go out when the little widow Mrs. Liu caught up to add clothes to him.

    Just two months ago, the lonely men and widows, dry wood and fire, had rolled together.

    Mr. Xu has guarded his body like a jade for so long, but he still can't stand the temptation!

    The Governor's Mansion has been changed to the Governor's Mansion. When Xu Ying was ordered to come, Wang Tingshi, Zuo Xiaocheng and others had already arrived, and Liu Tongsheng, Xiao Puyun and others had all gone to Beijing for the exam.

    In Juren's absence, Xu Ying's status rose rapidly.

    It was very embarrassing for Wang Tingshi to try. The three Jiangxi divisions recommended him at the same time, but Chongzhen still didn't want him to be an official.

    ?On the contrary, it was Ding Kuichu, the Zuo Buzheng of Jiangxi Province, who got his wish and went back to his hometown. The new Zuo Buzheng was called Zhu Zhichen, and it was estimated that he would not be able to arrive in Jiangxi until after the Chinese New Year.

    Xiong Wencan said to the fellows returning home: "Your Majesty is sympathetic to the people, and cannot bear the people of Jiangxi to suffer from military disasters again, so he intends to recruit the Zhao thief from Luling. If you escape from the south, you must be quite familiar with the Zhao thief.  Go to Ji'an to contact Zhao'an?"

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

    Lu Yu, a scholar, immediately argued: "There must be treacherous ministers bewitching Your Majesty. How can Zhao bandits be recruited for perverse actions, harming the country and the people, and corrupting customs? If Zhao bandits in Luling are recruited, there will be people with ulterior motives in the surrounding prefectures and counties who will surely follow suit.  Anyway, if the rebellion becomes serious, you can become an official. In this way, Jiangxi is in danger!"

    "Please command your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, and take back the order to recruit Zhao's thief!" Zuo Xiaocheng suddenly knelt down.

    "Please command your Majesty, Commander-in-Chief, and take back the order to recruit Zhao's thief!"

    Other scholars knelt down one after another, and Xu Ying quickly followed suit.

    The reason why they fled to Nanchang was that they were reluctant to part with their own land.  Looking forward to one day, the officers and soldiers can wipe out the Zhao thieves, and they can get back the land.

    What the hell is Zhaoan?

    Zhao'an means that their property will never come back in the future!

    Xiong Wencan reassured: "Everyone please come up, recruiting security is only a temporary solution, you don't have to believe it."

    All the scholars looked at each other, and then reluctantly stood up.

    Fuck his mother's one-time plan, the northern rogues obviously can't be wiped out, so Zhao's call for security will be faked and come true.

    Xiong Wencan said: "Who wants to go to Ji'an Mansion?"

    No one answered.

    Wang Tingshi simply called the name: "Zhong Cong come with me."

    Xu Ying made a embarrassed expression, hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Since it is the emperor's order, you should obey it when you are born."

    This time it was to contact the Zhao thief in Luling, and Xiong Wencan asked Wang Tingshi to take charge.  He was also worried that Wang Tingshi was not familiar with Zhao thief, so he selected a scholar as his deputy, and Xu Ying was chosen after many choices.

    There is no way, all the candidates have gone to Beijing to take the exam, and there are really few remaining scholars who can play.

    The fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

    Xu Ying set foot on the boat to Ji'an. He and Wang Tingshi were both "ordinary people".  Anyway, it does not represent the government, nor does it represent the emperor, and the failure to recruit has nothing to do with the court.

    Standing at the bow of the boat, Wang Ting tried to ask: "How long has it been since Zhong Cong went back?"

    "It's like a lifetime away." Xu Ying replied.

    Wang Tingshi warned: "I know that Zhong Cong and Zhao thief have a deep hatred, but this trip is acting on the emperor's order. Zhong Cong must not provoke Zhao thief."

    "Of course not, national affairs are the most important thing." Xu Ying cupped her hands and said.

    Xu Ying knew that Wang Tingshi was an internal response, and he was not very obedient.

    Wang Tingshi didn't know Xu Ying's identity, but he was still thinking about how to bypass Xu Ying and have a private discussion with Zhao Han when he arrived in Ji'an Mansion.

    A few days later, the two came to the General Military Mansion and were warmly received by Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han couldn't help but want to laugh, so he just laughed, cupped his hands and said, "I heard about Mr. Wang's name earlier, and seeing him today, it's really extraordinary."

    "Where, where," Wang Tingshi said, "Zhao Zongzhen is a hero in the world."

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "My main town is fake."

    Wang Tingshi said: "It can be true.; The first stage of education reform, Zhao Han set a deadline of ten years!

    It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to grow people. Ten years is already very short.

    On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiong Wencan really came to Ji'an in person, making no secret of his eagerness.

    This old man got Zhao Han's reply, and immediately knew that Zhao Han was a smart person, and he was willing to accept recruitment.

    ? When the ship sailed into the boundary of Fengcheng County, Xiong Wencan obviously felt different.

    In the villages around Nanchang, although the peasant association movement was in full swing, after all, there was no real division of land, and the people at the bottom did not really stand up and make decisions.

    However, the people in Fengcheng County are still digging canals in the snow, seeing that it is almost the New Year's Eve.

    No wages, bring your own dry food, make it very lively, and even laugh and laugh during breaks.

    Seeing those labor scenes, Xiong Wencan was more confident in recruiting Zhao thief while fearing.

    Because of the development model of the Luling Zhao thief, there is no need to attack the city at all.  The development of peasant associations in the countryside is to develop to a certain extent and directly distribute the fields to households. Even if they do not occupy the cities, they can actually expand the territory.

    Bandit Zhao is definitely willing to recruit, and then try his best to expand in the countryside!

    ? When the court reacts, the whole of Jiangxi is already owned by Zhao thieves, and it seems ripe to seize the city.

    But it's about Xiong Wencan's shit, he has made meritorious service in recruiting Zhao thief, as long as he doesn't continue to lose the city, he will definitely be able to make meritorious service and rise to the top.  The only thing that needs an idea is that before he is transferred out of Jiangxi, thief Zhao must not attack the city again!

    As for after Xiong Wencan left, Thief Zhao could rebel in whatever way he wanted. It can be inferred that the new governor forced him to rebel.

    After figuring this out, Xiong Wencan actually felt happy.  He is not good at fighting, he is not awake at governing, but he is very good at fooling ghosts.

 Body 212【Secret contract between officials and bandits】

    Xiong Wencan has a lot of ostentation, he is the governor after all.

    Zhu Guoxun, the general of Jiangxi, even personally drove the warship and sent Xiong Wencan to Ji'an Mansion.

    Back then, Zhu Guoxun was promoted to General Manager because of his meritorious service, and it was Xiong Wencan's help to repay the meritorious service. One can imagine the relationship between the two.

    The guards were beating gongs and drums in front of them, and they were also holding signs like "avoid".  Zhu Guoxun, the commander-in-chief, escorted Xiong Wencan to disembark. There was a large group of people in front and rear, adding up to two or three hundred people.

    Seeing that Zhu Guoxun was quite nervous and kept pressing the handle of the knife, Xiong Wencan smiled and said: "No need to be like this, Bandit Zhao is not an ordinary bandit. This man has a good way of doing things, and he will not lure you or me to kill him."

    "It's better to be careful, thieves and bandits in the world can't be trusted." Zhu Guoxun reminded.

    Stepping on the wooden boards to the shore, a big maroon sedan stopped immediately, and Xiong Wencan leisurely stepped into the sedan chair and sat down.

    Zhu Guoxun was extremely loyal and always followed the sedan chair.  I don't know if the rebels really do something, he will choose to turn around and run away, or to protect his old boss with all his might.

    "Boom!"

    "when!"

    The officials were holding a gong to clear the way, and the people along the way were very upset, and they deliberately slowed down when they avoided it.

    Mr. Zhao doesn't sit in this kind of high-ranking official sedan chair. Why do you come to Ji'an to show off, you dog official?

    "Give way, old cousin, please make way" The officials in charge of clearing the way had to keep pleading, they really didn't dare to show off their power in the rebel's territory.

    Xiong Wencan lifted the car curtain and was quite speechless when he saw the situation outside.

    Zhu Guoxun leaned over and said: "Because the rebels' lair is full of unscrupulous people, beware of these unscrupulous people's assassination."

    "No problem."

    Xiong Wencan's heart is calm, this scene is really nothing.

    It's not that Xiong Wencan has never seen bandits who know how to buy people's hearts. Zheng Zhilong, who he recruited to surrender, is used to doing this.

    Zheng Zhilong looted the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong before accepting the recruitment, which often exhausted the officers and soldiers.  But Zheng Zhilong only targeted big households, and even helped small people.  Especially the people in Quanzhou, the poor are so favored by Zheng Zhilong, so that every time the officers and soldiers take any action, the local people take the initiative to inform them.

    At the same time, a large number of coastal fishermen took refuge in Zheng Zhilong as pirates.  Those who didn't become pirates also helped Zheng Zhilong transport goods on the shore, and Zheng Zhilong's henchmen were almost everywhere.

    In Xiong Wencan's view, the Luling Zhao thief is just Zheng Zhilong on land, at most he only studied for a few more years, and he was more thorough in giving favors to the common people.

    "Stop!"

    Arriving at the gate of the General Military Mansion, the guards immediately stopped the group of people.

    Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, Xiao Huan and other officials stood at the door to welcome the governor. Wang Tingshi and Xu Ying also stood there.

    Xiong Wencan walked out of the official sedan chair, recognized Li Banghua at a glance, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng An, after a long separation, I never expected to meet again here."

    "It's really destined." Li Banghua didn't talk nonsense, and he didn't want to have any friendship with Xiong Wencan.

    Chen Maosheng was still in southern Jiangxi. Li Ke, deputy director of the Propaganda Department, stepped forward and said to Xiong Wencan: "Zhao Zongzhen has an order that only five negotiators are allowed to enter. The rest of them will find their own inn to stay.  The cost of board and lodging is all on your own. If you harass businesses and people, you will be punished by law!"

    Zhu Guoxun sneered: "This is Zhao how your lord treats guests?"

    Li Ke replied: "The life of the people is hard, my lord will not bear harsh treatment, and practice the way of frugality. What's more, it is not yet known whether you are a guest or an enemy!"

    "The guest is up to the host, haha, the guest is up to the host." Xiong Wencan was like a smiling Buddha, leaving five people with him, and throwing the rest back on the boat.

    Li Banghua introduced officials to Xiong Wencan again. Xiong Wencan actually got the information a long time ago, but at this moment he just matched his name with the real person.

    After entering the General Military Mansion, Xiong Wencan observed all the way, and found that the officials were all at work, and did not come out to look curiously.

    Some civil servants passed by holding official documents, and when they saw Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others, they just clasped their fists in greeting.  If the hands are empty, they even use a nod instead, and Pang, Li and other high-ranking officials will nod in return.

    Xiong Wencan sighed in his heart, under the rule of Bandit Zhao, not only the folks are more energetic, but even the atmosphere of government officials is stronger than that of the imperial court.

    This thief can only appease, absolutely powerless to suppress!

    There are many vacant houses in Zhao Han's inner house, so this time, Xiong Wencan directly vacated a courtyard.

    All the salutes were moved into the house, and everyone sat down in the yard, talking nonsense while waiting for lunch.

    Xiong Wencan sat down and took two sips of tea, and asked, "When will your lord see me?"

    &bsp; Compared with ascending the pavilion to pay homage to the prime minister and leaving a name in history, the thousands of acres of land at home are nothing!

    After much deliberation, Xiong Wencan decided to form a good relationship. While maintaining his official status, he could express his kindness to Zhao Han in private.  What if it is useful in the future?

    The next afternoon, when Xiong Wencan finally saw Zhao Han, this thought became even stronger.

    Because Zhao Han is too young, he has enough time to fight for the world.  Even if he doesn't think about himself, Xiong Wencan has to leave a way for the family to retreat, maybe some of his descendants will be officials in the new dynasty.

    "Zhao Zongzhen, I have admired your name for a long time!" Xiong Wencan clasped his fists and laughed.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Everyone, each other!"

    Xiong Wencan asked: "Can you and I talk alone?"

    "Of course, Governor Xiong please." Zhao Han smiled brightly.

    In the secret room.

    Xiong Wencan opened his mouth and said: "If I am in Jiangxi, please don't attack the city, Mr. Zhao. In return, I can pretend that I have not seen many things."

    Zhao Han suddenly laughed even more happily, because this governor is so funny.  Immediately replied: "Don't worry, I will not attack cities and land, but I will help the government to eliminate other bandits."

    Xiong Wencan immediately understood.

    That is to say, if there are other rebels in Jiangxi, Zhao Han will take advantage of the situation and take the place, and the county will naturally be included in the bag. After all, there are a lot of business taxes in the county.

    However, the imperial court can still send a county magistrate, but this county magistrate must be emptied.

    The city and the land belonged to the imperial court in name, but actually belonged to Zhao Han.

    The two bastards, tacitly, reached a secret agreement on this.

    As for the money that must be given, Xiong Wencan promised to give 10,000 taels, and he had to be allowed to pay in installments.

 Body 213 [Imperial Examination Reform Proposal] (addition for the leader "BirdZ")

    ,

    Xiong Wencan was sure that this trip would be successful in recruiting security, so he brought his official uniform and official seal.

    Naturally, everything should be kept simple, otherwise eunuchs, pedestrians or Jin Yiwei would have to be sent to announce the decree.

    It's a pity that the official uniforms are also somewhat simplified. Zhao Han couldn't help complaining: "Are you sure I won't go to court? There is only one official uniform."

    Official uniforms are official uniforms, which are generally only worn when on duty.  Its overall shape can refer to the official costumes of the Song Dynasty in film and television dramas, and the hat has long and thin wings.

    For formal occasions such as sacrifices, court meetings, and sutra feasts, there are special court clothes.

    As for the "manchurian beast" and the short-winged black gauze hat, they belong to the official uniform, and you can find someone to sew them yourself.  By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the uniforms were so messed up that military officers of the sixth rank dared to wear the uniforms of the first rank, and no military officers below the fifth rank wore the common uniforms at all.

    Xiong Wencan said with a smile: "If Zongzhen Zhao comes to Beijing for an audience, he will give out a set of court clothes."

    "I'm afraid the emperor won't let me go." Zhao Han casually threw the official seal to the secretary, which is useful at critical times.

    Xiong Wencan didn't dare answer these words, so he quickly changed the subject and said, "Nowadays, thieves are everywhere. If one day invades Jiangxi, I hope that General Zhao will put state affairs first."

    Zhao Han was obliged to say: "It's natural, as long as the thieves dare to come to Jiangxi, I will kill as many as they come!"

    "In this case, it is up to Zongzhen Zhao." Xiong Wencan cupped his fists in thanks.

    ? Yang Sichang set the policy of "four positives and six corners, and ten sides to spread the net", and Jiangxi is also one of them.  Assisting in the suppression of thieves is nonsense, as long as the rogues are not allowed to enter Jiangxi, Xiong Wencan, the governor of Jiangxi, is considered qualified.

    After the big things are done, Xiong Wencan is in a good mood and feels that he has come to the right place.

    ?With Zhao Han's calmness and forbearance, he will certainly be able to keep his promise and will not attack the city indiscriminately to attract the attention of the court.  And with Zhao Han sitting in Jiangxi, who can also guard against the invasion of bandits, Xiong Wencan has nothing to be afraid of.

    The only scary thing is that Chongzhen felt that Xiong Wencan was very capable, so he was transferred to the north to be the governor to exterminate the thieves

    ? Zhao Han and Xiong Wencan were quite fond of seeing each other, and even sent him to the pier in person.

    After the warship sailed past Jishui County, Zhu Guoxun finally relaxed and asked, "Fu Shuai, will this Zhao thief really not rebel?"

    "Don't call Zhao Bandit again," Xiong Wencan reminded, "Since he has been recruited, he will be a minister of the same court. It is definitely unbelievable to replace it with other traitors, but Zhao Yan will not rebel."

    Zhu Guoxun wondered: "Why?"

    Xiong Wencan asked back: "Has Zheng Zhilong rebelled?"

    Zhu Guoxun and Zheng Zhilong have been fighting pirates for several years, so it is very clear: "Zheng Zhilong is not a fool. After he was recruited, he has an official status and will no longer be conscripted by the court. He can also work with officers and soldiers to conquer other pirates. It is he who conquered the territory."  Yes. Zheng Zhilong has no reason to rebel."

    "The same goes for Zhao Yan." Xiong Wencan said with a smile.

    Zhu Guoxun thought about it carefully, and then suddenly realized that it was exactly the same!

    The difference between Zhao Han and Zheng Zhilong is that one is at sea and the other is on land.  As long as the sea is counted as the territory, isn't Zheng Zhilong Zhao Han?

    Zhu Guoxun felt that he had learned again, and hurriedly bowed: "Mr.'s teachings have enlightened me in humble positions, and I will benefit endlessly in this life."

    However, Zhao Han returned to the General Military Mansion and immediately summoned several core officials to discuss matters.

    "Next year's development plan," Zhao Han said straight to the point, "First, bring back the Nangan County that was occupied by Tianbing, and control the main water and land routes in southern Ecuador;  It must be advanced slowly; third, expand the peasant associations in the north to the entire Nanchang Prefecture; fourth, the new peasant associations should develop in Fuzhou Prefecture; fifth, continue to dig roads in the mountains; sixth, encourage the development of industry and commerce,  You can't just rely on land tax; Seventh, you can take a look at this outline for the development of culture and education."

    The education reform outline was circulated in the conference room, and all officials, including Pang Chunlai, were completely confused.

    ? Zuo Xiaoliang asked: "Let scholars and Juren go to elementary school again, which may arouse the resentment of scholars."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "It's not that they are really allowed to go to elementary school. They can study at home. If they pass the exam, they will graduate from elementary school. Moreover, I don't recognize their fame, and it's not that I don't let them be officials. Everyone here, too.  It is impossible to go back to elementary school. But it must be explained that those who have completed elementary school and middle school seriously will be promoted faster to become officials in the future!"

    "The chief town wants to abolish the imperial examination?" Li Banghua asked.

    "How could it be abolished?" Zhao Han explained, "The method at this stage is only suitable for a small area. In the future, when the territory becomes larger, the imperial examination must be restored. My idea is this, a scholar,??The stereotyped essay is excellent, and it is okay to hand in blank papers in the other exams.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "This is how I imagined it. The first test is stereotyped, with a full score of 100. The second test is official document and law, with a full score of 100. The third test is mathematics and geometry, with a full score of 100. The fourth  The field test of Datong Theory, the full score is 50. A total of 350 points, the ranking is based on the score."

    After asking clearly, no one objected.

    Li Banghua, who was born as a Jinshi, did not object, because the content of the imperial examinations in the past dynasties had been constantly adjusted.

    Don't regard ancient times as too rigid and rigid. The Guozijian in the Ming Dynasty even used the credit system all the time.  There are monthly exams every month and annual exams every year. You can be promoted to a higher grade after completing the number of credits.  After completing all the credits, one can graduate from the Imperial College.

    ?As for what Zhao Han said, there is no need to copy Zhu Xi's remarks, so there is no problem.

    ?Because since the rise of Yangming Xinxue, stereotyped essays have deviated from Zhu Xi in various ways.  Some candidates will even study the examiner's preferences, first investigate which faction the examiner is from, and then use this to choose whether to write articles with psychology or science.  Neo-Confucianism is not Zhu Xi's set, but a new Neo-Confucianism that emerged in the mid-Ming Dynasty.

    Zhao Han said so much, but he just made it clear in advance, because the education system will be officially adjusted next year.

    As for the reform of the imperial examination, it will be implemented after the death of Chongzhen.

    (Thanks to the leader of Piao De Feng nj for the reward, and ask for a monthly pass by the way.

 Text 214【Young Mathematician】

    ,

    Fei Rulan took her son, Xiyue and nanny to visit her mother Lou.

    The official seal engraved by the Ministry of Rites is handed over to Secretary Haosheng for safekeeping.

    As for the official uniform, let the guards take it back to the inner house.  The guards only dared to enter the main room, so they packed it in a rattan box and placed it on the table.

    Zhao Zhenfang and Fei Rumei returned together, chatting nonstop all the way.  Although the female teachers in the school always taught girls to be demure and dignified, eight out of ten students in the girls' school became more and more lively.

    "Sister, sister!"

    Fei Rumei ran into the courtyard and called, but no one answered.

    A maid came out of the kitchen: "Miss Rumei, Madam has gone back to her mother's house. She said she could come back before evening, and let me cook the food first."

    "Oh, go get busy," Fei Rumei walked into the main room, tossed her schoolbag, and muttered, "I finally came here, but my sister went to my house instead."

    Zhao Zhenfang went back to her room and put away her schoolbag, poured two glasses of water over, and handed one to Fei Rumei: "Tomorrow is the annual holiday, Miao Tong, please go to her house to play, will you go?"

    "Go, stay at home and have nothing to do." Fei Rumei said with a smile.

    Seeing a rattan box on the table, Fei Rumei put down her cup, went over to open the box, and said in surprise, "Ah, is this an official hat? The wings are so long."

    Official uniforms are only worn by officials when they are on duty. Ordinary people have never seen them before, and Fei Yinghuan will not show off his official uniforms when he goes home.

    Zhao Zhenfang dissuaded and said: "This is the second brother's property, so don't mess around with it."

    Fei Rumei said: "This is Daming's official uniform. My brother-in-law is a traitor, so he wouldn't wear this kind of thing."

    "That's true." Zhao Zhenfang nodded.

    Fei Rumei raised her official hat, put it on her own head and said, "Do I look like an official?"

    Zhao Zhenfang couldn't help laughing: "Your head is too small."

    Fei Rumei took out the suit again, put it on her body indiscriminately, raised her hand to support the unsteady official hat, pretended to be a lecherous and corrupt official, picked Zhao Zhenfang's chin with her fingers and said: "This little lady was born beautiful, today she will be so beautiful."  How about going back with me to enjoy the blessings?"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Zhenfang was so amused that she burst out laughing, and suddenly snatched the hat, put it on her head and said: "Bold and unreasonable, quickly take off this official's clothes!"

    Wearing the official uniform on Fei Rulan, the sleeves and hem seemed too long.  It happened to be a costume, she shook her sleeves like an actor, and then began to show off her figure, twisting around and moving forward.

    "oops!"

    Fei Rumei stepped on the hem of her jacket with her toes, and slammed forward like a shit.

    Feeling that the light at the door went dark, Fei Rumei looked up, got up quickly and said, "Brother-in-law is back."

    Zhao Zhenfang quickly took off her official hat and quickly put it in the box, Fei Rumei also quickly took off her official uniform.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "If you like it, you can wear it for fun, and don't wear it outside."

    Fei Rumei explained: "We just find it strange."

    "I'll put it on for my second brother." Afraid that Zhao Han would get angry, Zhao Zhenfang took up the official hat and put it on Zhao Han's head.

    Fei Rumei also said: "I dress my brother-in-law."

    Zhao Han didn't refuse either, and stood there with a smile, letting the two little girls toss.

    Before the official uniform was put on, Fei Rulan had already come back from a visit. When she saw Zhao Han's appearance, her eyes lit up immediately: "My husband's attire is really energetic."

    Zhao Han put the official hat on the table, but did not take off the official uniform, and said: "You find someone to sew a set of military officer uniforms, and you need to be a second-rank one."

    Fei Rulan didn't ask why, and immediately replied: "Okay, I'll go find a tailor tomorrow."

    After all, he has already accepted the recruitment, and it is inevitable to deal with officials in the future.  Regular clothes belong to the daily clothes of officials, and they are usually custom-made by themselves. Zhao Han should embroider lions on his chest.

    While the couple were talking, the two little girls had already run away to tease Ju'er, who was about to turn one year old.

    They put the children on the carpet and lure them with toys made of bamboo and wood.

    But Gun'er sat there stupidly, staring at them in a daze, not thinking of crawling over to get the toy at all.

    Not very lively, and usually eat a lot, as fat as a meatball.  Sometimes Zhao Han would think, his eldest son, wouldn't he become a fat man in the future?

    The nanny continued to say: "Children need to eat more, and they have a big appetite to feed them. Now they look fat, but when they are one or two years old, they grow up and lose weight."

    "Jun'er, Gun'er, come here!" Zhao Zhenfang shook the rattle.

    Attracted by the sound of the drum, Gun'er was dazed for a while, and suddenly.  "Zhao Zhenfang said.

    Xiao Shixuan was eager to find like-minded people, so he hurriedly asked: "Where does Brother Ling live, I will definitely visit someday."

    Zhao Zhenfang said: "Let's go today, my brother must be happy. By the way, bring these manuscripts with you."

    "Okay, let's go now," Xiao Shizhong got up immediately, "I still have some manuscripts in my room, wait for me to go back and get them."

    After finishing speaking, he ignored the three girls and disappeared after a while of trotting.

    Fei Rumei pointed to her head and asked, "Miao Tong, is there something wrong with your cousin here?"

    Liu Miaotong said with a smile: "He has been stuck since he was a child, learning all kinds of messy things. Others are trying hard to be a scholar. After he was admitted to Tongsheng, he has been reading those idle books."

    Fei Rumei said to Zhao Zhenfang: "This person won't talk nonsense, so he will offend brother-in-law when the time comes?"

    "No, my brother definitely thinks highly of him." Zhao Zhenfang said firmly.

    Not long after, Xiao Shixuan ran over with his mathematics manuscripts in his arms. He did not regard himself as an outsider at all, and said happily, "Let's go quickly, does your brother live far away?"

    Zhao Zhenfang smiled and said, "Not far away."

    Everyone went all the way to Fucheng, and when they arrived outside the Commander's Mansion, Xiao Shixuan felt something was wrong.

    "Your house didn't go wrong, did it?" Xiao Shixuan asked confusedly.

    "Please, Mr. Xiao." Zhao Zhenfang was very proud, thinking that she had recruited a talent for her brother.

 Body 215【Cultivation of seedlings】

    Xiao Shixuan had been to the General Military Mansion before, and came with his father Xiao Weigong.

    After Fei Ruhe led his troops to drive away Sailubu and seized the entire Taihe County, the father and son came to inquire about the policy of returning home.

    As a result, the surviving Xiao family distributed land as normal as the common people.  Real estate, shops, workshops, etc., as long as they can produce a deed certificate, all will be returned to the Xiao family.  If the deed cannot be produced, it will be confiscated.

    Zhao Zhenfang's journey was unimpeded, and the officials who came and went would stop and greet each other when they saw her.

    When Xiao Shixuan saw such a situation, how could he not guess the truth?

    Zhao Zhenfang must be a family member of some high official!

    Don't think that some people who do research have low EQ. They just focus on different things. In fact, they understand many things and don't seem to care that much.

    Taking this moment as an example, although Xiao Shixuan guessed the truth, he didn't have any special thoughts.  He just came to discuss academics, and he continued the chat if he was happy, and left when the chat was not happy, and he didn't ask anyone to do anything anyway.

    "Miss."

    "Please inform me that I brought a big student back. This is his mathematics manuscript."

    Zhao Han was dealing with official business when he suddenly heard that his younger sister brought someone to see him.  He first dug out those data manuscripts, and was immediately attracted by various algebraic symbols, because it was born out of cursive script, and he could still recognize A, B, C, D after careful observation.

    After a casual glance, Zhao Han said, "Please come in."

    Not long after, three girls brought Xiao Shixuan in.

    "ah!"

    Liu Miaotong immediately covered her mouth, she recognized Zhao Han at a glance, because Zhao Han once went to a girls' school to write an inscription.

    The identities of Zhao Zhenfang and Fei Rumei could not be kept secret, and they were not deliberately publicized. Few people in the girls' school knew about them.

    "Second brother, Mr. Xiao is good at mathematics," Zhao Zhenfang said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, this is my second brother. He introduced Taixi numbers."

    Second brother?

    Xiao Shixuan thought that Zhao Zhenfang was the daughter of a high official, but unexpectedly she was Zhao Han's younger sister.  A surprised expression finally appeared on his face, and he cupped his fists and said, "Tai and Xiao Shixuan, meet Mr. Zhao."

    "Mr. Xiao, nice to meet you!"

    Zhao Han replied with a smile: "Please sit down."

    Xiao Shi chose a seat to sit down, subconsciously looked at Zhao Zhenfang, but Zhao Zhenfang winked at him mischievously.

    Zhao Han flipped through the mathematics manuscript and asked, "You discovered these formulas and theorems by yourself."

    "Occasionally." Xiao Shixuan replied.

    "Good job, keep working hard in the future." Zhao Han encouraged.

    Xiao Shixuan originally wanted to discuss mathematics, but when he found out that the person he was chatting with was Zhao Han, he immediately said: "Mr. Zhao, I think that what is more important than formulas and theorems is to change the fundamental concept of studying mathematics."

    "Oh, please tell me." Zhao Han felt a little surprised.

    Xiao Shixuan said: "Take equations as an example. We only talk about the calculation of complex equations. It is easier to calculate when using Tianyuan technique together with calculation chips. But I am sure that even if Tianyuan technique is more convenient to calculate, it will definitely be used in the future.  Equation algorithm instead."

    ?Using calculation chips to solve Tianyuan technique, as long as you get started, it is often easier than solving equations.

    Zhao Han asked: "Why do you say that?"

    Xiao Shixuan began to talk eloquently: "The biggest difference between Tianyuan surgery and equations is the unknown number. "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" Qiuhe is actually a description of three-dimensional linear equations in words, but there are no algebraic symbols and operation symbols.  The ancients omitted these symbols, and expressed them directly with counting chips (putting out a matrix). There is a strange book called "Dongping Suanjing", which has been lost for a long time now, but one or two can be inferred from Li Yezhi's worksQin Jiushao in the Song Dynasty had already used  Symbols such as double lines, single lines, etc. to represent addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division"

    Zhao Han listened very carefully, although he had never even heard of these ancient arithmetic books and mathematicians.

    According to Xiao Shixuan's explanation, Zhao Han roughly understood that there is an ancient book "Dongping Suanjing", which uses nineteen characters such as "Xian, Ming, Xiao, Han death, spring, darkness, ghost" to represent unknowns  power.  If A, B, C, and D are added together, equations within the nineteenth power can be expressed with the calculating chip matrix.

    During the Southern Song Dynasty, Qin Jiushao created arithmetic symbols.

    However, the invasion of Jin and Yuan brought the development of mathematics in the Song Dynasty to an abrupt halt.

    Although the mathematicians of the Yuan Dynasty developed the Quaternary Art, which seemed to be more advanced than the Song Dynasty's Sanyuan Art, it was a retrogression from the perspective of mathematics itself.

    ?Because the path has gone astray, unknowns are being ignored more and more, arithmetic expressions are being ignored more and more, and operation symbols are completely discarded.  Tianyuanshu was completely reduced toTax urging can only intensify the exploitation of the people.

    As for the two provinces of Shaanxi and Shanxi, Chongzhen was too embarrassed to remind them. These two places have suffered severe drought for ten consecutive years.

    In the blink of an eye, ten years into Chongzhen, the first thing the court did was to send a large number of tax censors.

    Chongzhen was also frightened by the eunuchs, and did not dare to let the eunuchs collect taxes. This time the tax envoys were all seventh-rank civil servants.

    At the same time, Yao Yongji, Zuo Buzheng of Zhejiang, Zeng Daowei, Zuobu Zheng of Huguang, Chen Hongmi, the prefect of Suzhou, Han Wenjing, the prefect of Yangzhou, and Zhou Guangxia, the prefect of Huai’anBecause they could not pay their taxes in full, they were deprived of their grades and positions, but they continued to work.  Until the taxes are paid in full, the official position will be restored.

    Ding Kuichu, who thought he had successfully escaped, was still held accountable by the court because Jiangxi taxes were in arrears for many years.  This guy retired from his old age and returned to his hometown. Just after the Lantern Festival, he was arrested and sent to Beijing to be imprisoned for questioning.

    Then, Chongzhen and Zhao Han went stupid together.

    The spring drought is severe across the country, and this year is destined to be a catastrophic year.

    On Zhao Han's side, there was a severe drought throughout Jiangxi.

    ?From the beginning of spring to the end of spring plowing, there was no rain in Jiangxi's prefectures, and officials from all over the country even began to pray for rain.

    In fact, there was a drought in Jiangxi last year. There is only one sentence in "Ming History": "Nine years Jiangxi is also hungry."

    In the ten years of Chongzhen, Shaanxi and Shanxi will not be mentioned. The most terrifying thing is that it spread to Zhejiang, which is the wealthiest place in the world: "Ten years, there was a great famine in Zhejiang, and father and son, brothers, and husband and wife ate each other."

    There is also: "Twelve years, Liangji, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Jiangxi were famines. There was a great famine in Henan, and people ate each other."

    This is a nationwide severe drought, known as the "Chongzhen Great Drought" in history, and the drought in Jiangxi will last for three to four years.

    The time to test Zhao Han has come, and the disaster is far more difficult to deal with than officers and soldiers.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 216 [Traveling in the mountains and rivers] (addition for the leader "Gone with the Wind NJ")

    Natural disasters and man-made disasters have always been connected together.

    In terms of the severity of the drought last year alone, Shanxi and Shaanxi were actually relatively mild, but they caused the most severe famine.

    ? Where was the hardest hit by the drought last year?

    According to the administrative divisions of later generations, there are southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, southeastern Hubei, northeastern Jiangxi, eastern Fujian and the entire Zhejiang!

    These places are relatively prosperous, so in the history books, there was no large-scale famine in the south in the ninth year of Chongzhen.

    However, Zhejiang, where there was a severe drought in the whole province last year, suffered another persistent drought this year.  Although the drought was milder than last year, the people of Zhejiang couldn't bear it anymore, because the Chief Secretary was stepping up tax collection.

    Yao Yongji, the Zuo Buzheng of Zhejiang Province, was also forced to do so.  When he reported the disaster situation last year, the emperor didn't believe it at all, so he took the official and stayed on, and if he didn't pay the taxes, he would be dismissed!

    Ji'an, General Military Mansion.

    Zhao Han gave instructions at the spring plowing meeting: "Officials from all over the country, missionaries, members of farmers, and the army, all fight against drought and disaster relief!"

    Li Ke said weakly: "Zongzhen, why don't you personally offer sacrifices to the sky and pray for rain?"

    "What rain are you praying for? If you have that money, you might as well use it for disaster relief!" Zhao Han flatly refused.

    Pang Chunlai said: "Praying for rain is also possible, not to move the world, but to unite people's hearts."

    "The town doesn't believe it, but the officials and the people do." Li Banghua echoed.

    Zhao Han thought for a while and said, "Unity of will is the unity of people's hearts. As for praying for rain, there have been years of severe drought in the north. Why didn't the court and ministers pray for rain? The main officials in various places were ordered to dismiss anyone who prayed for rain in the future.  Give me all your thoughts on fighting the drought!"

    "yes!"

    The officials no longer dissuade

    The magistrate of Nanchang has already left, claiming to be seriously ill, and without the permission of the imperial court, he hung a seal and went home to take care of himself.

    The new magistrate is called Han Chengxuan. He was the county magistrate in Zichuan before, and he only did two things during his term of office: first, the whole county restored a whipping law, and no more exorbitant taxes were imposed; second, he built a stone city to resist bandits.

    Dazhi in Zichuan County!

    As soon as he entered Jiangxi, he heard that the spring drought was severe, and Han Chengxuan frowned.  He is from Shanxi. He passed the Jinshi examination three years ago and has already tasted enough of the drought.

    For this trip to Jiangxi, Han Chengxuan did not have a master, but only brought two servants with him.

    After leaving Poyang Lake, Han Chengxuan stood at the bow of the boat to observe.  He found that on both sides of the Ganjiang River, the seedlings were lush and lush, which was completely different from what he had imagined.

    Han Chengxuan said with emotion: "The land on the right side of the river is really rich. There are rivers and lakes to moisten, and even a severe drought can yield a good harvest."

    Arriving at Nanchang Fucheng, this place is extremely prosperous, and it doesn't look like a rebel.

    Han Chengxuan did not stop, changed boats and went down the small river, ten miles away was Nanchang County.

    Along the way, on both sides of the river, I saw many times people lined up to fetch water.  The water level of this small river has dropped a lot, and the water truck can't lift water into the canal, so the peasant association organizes artificial water lifting.

    "Dock."

    Before arriving at the county seat, Han Chengxuan landed ahead of schedule.

    He looked at the mud left by the river bank after the water receded, and then looked around at the lush rice fields, feeling an indescribably strange.

    Han Chengxuan asked the servants to stay on the shore to guard the luggage, and walked along the field ridge alone with his sword on his back.  After walking several miles in a row, it was already far away from the river, but there were still no withered and yellow seedlings.

    It's only spring. Although there is no rain, Nanchang County is full of rivers, and it connects the Ganjiang River and Fuhe River. The drought relief work is actually very easy to do.

    What is really difficult is the mountainous area!

    Suddenly, Han Chengxuan saw a flag with an indigo background embroidered with an ear of rice.

    "Folks, work harder, these are the last few fields!" A man in ordinary clothes shouted holding a tin horn.

    "good!"

    Everyone cheered in unison, and then worked harder.

    Han Chengxuan stopped a farmer carrying water, pointed to the flag and asked, "What kind of flag is that?"

    "The flag of the peasant association." The peasant replied.

    One speaks official dialect and the other speaks Jiangxi dialect, and they can barely communicate.

    Farmers' Association?

    Han Chengxuan felt a little bad.

    He observed for a while, then walked back to the river, and went to the county town with his servants.

    Arrive at the county government office, report your history, and the county magistrate, chief bookkeeper, and Dian Shi led two teams of guards to welcome you.

    After some inquiries, Han Chengxuan learned that the county magistrate was named Zhang Ruohai, the master secretary was named Liu Zirong, and the official history was named Hu Dinggui.

    This canon history is quite young, it seems that it is only in its teens.With nothing to do, I went out to relax.  "

    Fu Ruwei didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "The same is the end of the world."

    "Shanggao County was also stolen by rebels?" Han Chengxuan asked.

    Fu Ruwei sighed and said: "Two of the four counties in Ruizhou Prefecture are already like this. Only Gao'an County attached to Guofu City and Yifeng County in the mountains are still in the hands of the Ming court for the time being. However, these two counties are also  In the development of the peasant association, it will sooner or later fall into the hands of the rebels. You were transferred to Jiangxi, did you offend others?"

    "It's true that I offended a lot," Han Chengxuan said, "I reiterated the whipping law in Zichuan, prohibiting the collection of exorbitant taxes, and re-cleared the land."

    Fu Ruwei smiled wryly and said: "I am not as capable as Brother Kanghou. Last year, there was a severe drought in Zhejiang. I just forced the rich to open warehouses to release grain. I offended several officials of the Donglin Party."

    The imperial court is really interesting, throwing good officials to Jiangxi with all their brains.

    Han Chengxuan suddenly asked: "Should the truth be reported to the court?"

    "It can't be reported," Fu Ruwei shook his head and said, "in several battles, Jiangxi's officers and soldiers were all defeated. If it is reported to the imperial court, it will inevitably attract thunder and wrath, and Jiangxi's war will resume. At that time, where will the imperial court get the officers and soldiers to fight with money and food?  ? The matter here, dragged on for a day. Sigh, then Zhao Yan is also considered a good thief."

    Han Chengxuan said: "I know he is a good thief, but a good thief is also a thief after all."

    Fu Ruwei said: "Brother Kanghou, you can go to the mountains to see how much prestige the Zhao bandits have. The people in the mountains, under the organization of the peasant association, walk a few miles or even a dozen miles on the mountain road, go down the mountain to the river and carry water back to irrigate.  This is not a big deal, after they carried the water, they are still digging the reservoir, and they seem to be carrying the water to fill the reservoir! I went to see it once, and it was really shocking, no government can do it.  "

    Han Chengxuan had nothing to say.

    Fu Ruwei smiled wryly and said: "Don't think too much, let's go sightseeing together. ?

 Text 217【Lawlessness】

    ,

    ? Han Chengxuan and Fu Ruwei are traveling in the mountains and rivers, and Wu Bing, the supervisor of Jiangxi, is working hard.

    How does it work?

    To be an academic officer, of course, is to make money by presiding over exams!

    In April, Nanchang Prefecture Road Examination.

    The night before the road test, Wu Bing, as the chief examiner, was still inspecting the largest brothel in Fucheng.

    This gentleman is a dramatist, and visiting brothels is naturally an elegant act.  In the evening, he came to the room of the popular leader, and his words and deeds were quite well-behaved, and he echoed the leader's playing and singing.

    Gradually, the wine was warming up, and Wu Bing and the head card sat closer and closer.

    The two hugged each other, fed each other a small wine, and read the illustrated version of "The Record of the Female General of Datong" together.

    "I heard that MSI Pan Saisai sang opera at a peasant association outside Nanchang County that day?" Wu Bing asked suddenly.

    The top card is called Li Ruo'an. Looking at the deeds of many Datong female generals, I feel infinite yearning and envy in my heart.  But he could only make amends and said with a smile: "I'm a girl from a brothel, how can I know the whereabouts of Datong's female general? If you are interested, sir, you can go to the village to find Miss Na Pan."

    Wu Bing sighed: "I want to go, but I'm afraid that unruly people will kill officials and rebel."

    Li Ruo laughed angrily and said, "Sir, if you don't mess with them, how can unruly people kill officials?"

    "Right."

    Wu Bing's heart suddenly became hot, and he planned to meet Mrs. Pan of MSI that day when he came back from presiding over the examinations in various prefectures.  Presumably, with his talent and generosity, he will definitely please Mrs. Pan, and maybe he will escape from the rebels and be taken into his house as a concubine.

    No, it cannot be taken into the house!

    If she breaks away from the rebels and becomes a concubine, Mrs. Pan is not Tianweixing, so what's the fun in dating?

    Wu Bing not only likes to sing poems and songs, but also loves to read martial arts novels.

    "Green Peony" tells the love story between Luo Hongxun, the son of Jiangmen, and Hua Bilian, the heroine of Jianghu, during Wu Zetian's period. This novel has been transformed into an opera by Wu Bing.

    There is also "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is popular in the south of the Yangtze River. Wu Bing is also adapting and creating it. He especially likes the chivalrous woman Huang Rong.  Not only is she a chivalrous woman, but she is also a smart and talented woman, and she simply belongs to the white lotus in the minds of scholars.

    ? When he came to Jiangxi to take office at the beginning of the year, when Wu Bing read the "Records of Female Generals of Datong", his first reaction was that it was like a treasure.

    He has a wish, that is, during his tenure in Jiangxi, he will visit 108 female generals of Datong, and make good friends with those "championes".

    In the "History of Ming Dynasty" compiled by the Qing Dynasty and "Records of Officials Martyred in the Imperial Ding Dynasty", Wu Bing committed suicide and died of hunger strike for seven days.

    However, in the history books compiled by the survivors of the late Ming Dynasty, Wu Bing surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and died of dysentery soon after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.  Moreover, Qu Gongmei, a relative of Wu Bing's friend, also recorded in the "爝火录" that he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

    Which statement is more reliable, everyone can understand for themselves.

    After some refreshment, Wu Bing walked away from the brothel, and went to the Gongyuan in a sedan chair in the middle of the night.  He was drunk, with a copy of "The Record of the Female Generals of Datong" stuck in his waist, and it was only when he walked to the street where the Gongyuan was located that he felt something was wrong.

    Under normal circumstances, at least thousands of students will take part in the Daoist Examination in Nanchang Prefecture, and the examination must be conducted in rounds with the county as the unit.

    But why are there only a few hundred candidates in this alley?

    Yawning, Wu Bing quietly entered through the small door, not daring to let those candidates find out.  Because according to the rules, not only he himself has to live in the examination room in advance, but also the accompanying scribes have to live in, so as not to mess around before the exam.

    After sneaking into the examination room, Wu Bing, smelling of alcohol, called the clerk of the government office: "How many candidates are there in Nanchang this year?"

    "Eight hundred and twenty-seven people." The scribe replied.

    Wu Bing said in surprise: "Why only so little?"

    "well!"

    The scribe sighed all over, and didn't bother to answer this question.

    If schoolchildren and students take the Taoist examination, they must first register with the county magistrate, and then the county school teacher organizes the examination.

    Today, magistrates and counties all over Nanchang Prefecture are fooling around, and so are the edicts appointed by the imperial court.  It's fine if it's an examination of Juren, after all, there is a chance to take the Jinshi examination and leave Jiangxi.  But what's the point of being a showman?  Even if they can be admitted to the scholar, Jiangxi has already changed the world before they won the exam.

    ?It is useless to pass the test, so it is better to self-study the elementary school textbooks distributed by Zhao Han.

    Today, the reformed elementary and middle school textbooks have all been printed.  It quickly aroused panic buying by scholars. They were embarrassed to go to elementary school, but it was good to buy books and study at home.

    Anyway, self-study is not difficult, just add some mathematics content and Datong thought, and they have already mastered the rest of the knowledge.

    Wu Bingbsp; "Kill him!"

    ""

    Under the agitation of the crowd, the people in the outer layer squeezed in hard, and the people in the inner layer subconsciously started fighting.

    I don't know how long it took to fight, but I came here on the official mission of the inspector and Nanchang mansion.

    But in the face of such a situation, those officials did not dare to stop them, for fear that the troublemakers would turn around and beat them.  I had to stand far away and shout: "Don't beat me, don't beat me, I'll cut my head off!"

    The common people don't pay attention to the official errands at all, only a few timid ones sneak away in fright.

    "The eunuch is dead, hurry up and relax."

    "Oh, don't worry, someone stepped on my hand!"

    ""

    After an unknown amount of time, the people finally dispersed, leaving only an unrecognizable corpse on the street.

    Wu Bingzhuang took the courage to go over to check, and immediately covered his face and turned his head. The death of the eunuch was terrible.  Wu Bing's legs were weak, his mind went blank, and he was only slightly awake when he ran back to his residence.

    Either quickly transfer the money away, or become a muddled official in Jiangxi, Wu Bing can no longer have a second thought.

    Xiong Wencan, Jiangxi Sansi, and the prefect of Nanchang rushed to the scene one after another, but they had nothing to say when they saw the eunuch's body.

    Wu Shiliang, in his 80s, was promoted from the right chief envoy of Jiangxi to the left chief envoy in place.  The old man sighed and said: "Wang Yongzhong, the guarding eunuch, exploited excessively, provoked civil uprisings, and was surrounded and beaten to death by merchants. Just kill any culprits and report them to the court."

    "Exactly." Xiong Wencan nodded.

    None of the officials dared to object, and collectively reported "truthfully".  As for the culprit who beat and killed the eunuch, he could kill any number of death row inmates in the prison.

    This Jiangxi is really lawless.

 Body 218【Southern Inspection】

    It was May, and there was still no rain.

    Even if people are superstitious, they will not think that Zhao Han lost his virtue, but that Emperor Chongzhen lost his destiny.

    ?Guangxin Mansion has already seen starving people from Zhejiang, and they entered the three counties of Yushan, Guangfeng and Qianshan along the commercial road.  They can't even wait for the harvest of summer grain, because there is no summer grain in Zhejiang, and they have already switched to various cash crops.

    Last year Zhejiang was a real natural disaster, but this year most of it was a man-made disaster. The Chongzhen government pressed taxes too quickly, and local officials simply robbed them directly.

    The prefect of Guangxin was terrified, fearing that there would be too many hungry people, which would lead to a civil uprising sooner or later.  Therefore, the gentry was called on to contribute money and food, and at the same time recruited village braves to drive these hungry people back to Zhejiang by force!

    In addition, Guangdong fried.

    ? Shen Youlong has quelled civil unrest in Guangdong last year and is continuing to suppress bandits in Guangxi.  However, last year, most of Guangdong was hit by drought, and this year, most of Guangdong was hit by drought again.

    ?The peasant uprising in Guangdong revived in April and quickly swept across several provinces.  These variables were all brought about by Zhao Han. Without him defeating the officers and soldiers several times, there would not be so many peasant uprisings in the surrounding areas, and even the uprisings would be quickly quelled by the governor.

    Ji'an Mansion.

    Zhao Han said goodbye to his wife and younger sister Yiyi, and then boarded the warship. He wanted to personally appease the Hakka people in the Southern Jiangxi area.

    In the mountainous area around Ganzhou City, Chen Maosheng's missionary work has made great progress.  Due to the economic blockade and internal divisions, more and more mountain people are willing to settle down and pay taxes, but farmers' associations are still unable to be established.

    ? These Hakka people are united in the first place, and help each other through geographical and blood ties, and the peasant association seems to have become a superfluous thing.

    However, their group and mutual assistance structure is too small, and even Hakkas from different regions will stage full martial arts because of their interests.  This spring alone, due to the drought and competition for water, there were several conflicts between locals and locals, resulting in the death of more than 20 people.

    In the biggest commotion, the two sides mobilized more than 3,000 people to fight!

    Zhao Yan enjoyed the magnificent scenery on both sides of the strait all the way, and soon came to Ganzhou City by boat.

    Fei Ruhe, Chen Maosheng, Liu Anfeng and others led the generals and officials out of the city to meet them.  Liu Huan, the former magistrate of Ganzhou in the Ming Dynasty, made meritorious service for cooperating with Chen Maosheng. In view of the complicated situation in the southern Jiangxi region, he was especially promoted to be the magistrate of Ganzhou prefecture.

    "Greetings to Zongzhen!" Everyone bowed in unison.

    Zhao Han clasped his fists in return and said: "Everyone has worked hard, so there is no need to be polite."

    Walking in front of Fei Ruhe, Zhao Han smiled and said, "You've lost weight again, and you look more energetic."

    "War all the time, can't you lose weight?" Fei Ruhe laughed.

    During this period of time, Fei Ruhe has really been fighting.  One is to suppress the bandits in the mountains, and the other is to fight against the peasant army in the counties of Southern Jiangxi.

    The conditions of these peasant armies are different.

    Some are willing to submit to Zhao Han, while others insist on self-government.  And no matter what kind, they don't cooperate with the work very much, and they have to be convinced to become honest.

    So far, the troops under Fei Ruhe's command have occupied the seven cities of Ganzhou, Shangyou, Dayu, Nankang, Xingguo, Yudu, Ningdu, and Xinfeng, completely opening up the connecting route between Jiangxi and Guangdong.  At the same time, 500 soldiers were stationed at Meiguan to contain the strategic point between the two provinces.

    However, only the three counties of Ganxian, Xingguo, and Yudu have successfully completed the work of dividing the land, and other places have to continue to work hard.

    Zhao Han patted Chen Maosheng on the shoulder again and said, "You have worked hard too."

    "It's not hard." Chen Maosheng stood upright.

    Chen Maosheng's wife, Yang Chun'e, was standing beside her at this time, with a big belly.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

    The couple also laughed. They planned to adopt a child, but they didn't expect Yang Chun'e to be pregnant.

    Zhao Han went to talk to Liu Anfeng and Liu Huan again, and walked into the city gate while talking.

    As a Ming official who surrendered, Liu Huan was directly appointed as the Tongzhi of Ganzhou Prefecture through sheer luck.  Surprised by Zhao Han's youth, he responded carefully all the way, and found that the lord was really unassuming, so he relaxed himself.

    Along the way, people came to watch, wanting to see what Zhao Tianwang looked like, but Zhao Han did not disappoint them.

    Temporarily living in the government office, other officials have dispersed, leaving only a few main responsible persons.

    Fei Ruhe first reported: "If Chongyi County is taken again, the whole territory of Nan'an Prefecture will be conquered. There will be no rebels there. Inside the city is the Ming government, and outside the city there will be Hakka people everywhere. The whole county is poor and surrounded by mountains.  There are only a few valleys that are considered fertile. To tell the truth, it's a burden to occupy, and it doesn't help the war."

    "No matter how poor you are, you have to win it," Zhao Han said, "When the other three counties in Nan'an Prefecture complete the division of land, the farmers' association will also?The details have to be adjusted according to the current situation.

    Hearing Zhao Han's words, Fei Ruhe was full of fighting spirit, and after a few days, he went to fight Huichang, and brought five hundred musketeers and twenty-one Franc cannons with him!

    Song Yingxing has made more than 700 firecrackers, of which 500 were allocated to Fei Ruhe, and the remaining 200 were left in the north.

    Although the southern Jiangxi region is poor and has many mountains, most of the cities are built by the river, and as long as there are navy divisions, they can quickly move troops to attack.

    Following the Gongshui River and going straight to Huichang County, it is another terrain where the three rivers confluence.

    After Fei Ruhe besieged the county seat, he waited to besiege the city and send reinforcements. It was almost impossible to attack by force, and even if he captured it, he would definitely suffer heavy losses.

    These Southern Jiangxi peasant troops have become stupid and will not sneak into the mountains at will.  Because the leaders of the field soldiers have now become big landlords, they are reluctant to part with their property.

    Still in the same old way, Fei Ruhe led troops to besiege the city, and the mission team and the backbone of the peasant association immediately developed the peasant association outside the city and organized the distribution of land.

    One trick is fresh, eat all over the world.

    (At the end of the chapter, there is Chongzhen’s ten-year development plan. The picture shows the actual control sites within this year. Some only occupy the city, and some only occupy the countryside. Refresh if you can’t see it.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 219 [Preliminary decision of Southern Jiangxi] (addition for the leader "Ubiquitous Fatty")

    Huichang County.

    "Brother, surrender."

    "Yeah, let's surrender. If you don't surrender, you won't be able to fight."

    "What kind of person is Zhao Tianwang, I have long said that he should be attached. What's the use of occupying more fields? Once someone calls, all the fields will be distributed to you."

    "Brother, you should say something!"

    ""

    Lin Jinshan was upset by what he said, and suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"

    After venting, Lin Jinshan softened his tone and said: "Even if you want to surrender, you have to bargain and explain the future clearly. First, send a few people to ask the Second General Zhao if he can leave with the money.  He came from Fujian, and brought money back to Fujian to build a house and buy land, so it’s not a waste of work.”

    "That's right, that's right, give him the county seat and the land, and let's go back to Fujian with the money!" Everyone supported this idea and looked forward to returning home.

    Immediately, they hung out an envoy with a basket, and ran to discuss with Fei Ruhe about surrendering.

    Fei Ruhe sneered and told the emissary: ??"You go back and follow my original words. If you want to surrender, surrender as soon as possible. How to deal with it is my business. They are not qualified to negotiate terms!"

    If it weren't for the selection of 500 soldiers to train the firecrackers, the dispatch of 500 soldiers to garrison Meiguan, and the division of troops into the mountains to wipe out the bandits, the entire Southern Jiangxi region would have been defeated by Fei Ruhe long ago.

    He didn't pay attention to these field soldiers at all, a group of mobs.

    There are so many bandits in southern Jiangxi, and many of them are Hakkas.

    Liu Mianzuo, magistrate of Yongfeng County, was the one who made officials follow the thief before his death.  He has been suppressing bandits in the mountains for several years. Local chronicles say to suppress "Fujian bandits", but Yongfeng County is next to Jishui, and half of Jiangxi is separated from Fujian. Where did the Fujian bandits come from to suppress him?

    The so-called Hokkien bandits are actually Hakka people from Fujian.  They couldn't survive in southern Jiangxi, so they simply went into the mountains to become bandits, and even fled to the affluent central Jiangxi area.

    This is not a Hakka problem, but a problem unique to Southern Jiangxi.

    Before the Hakka people migrated in large numbers, most of the people Wang Yangming suppressed in southern Jiangxi were natives of Jiangxi.  These Jiangxi peasants couldn't survive. They farmed in the mountains and worked as part-time bandits at the same time. As a result, people in every village became bandits, and neighbors helped each other to hide.

    Therefore, in the early days of Wang Yangming's suppression of bandits, all the bandits in the mountains knew about it just after he sent troops a few miles away.  Not only did the peasants tip off the news along the way, but even Wang Yangming's guide had relatives of the bandits.

    ?Wang Yangming's solution is very rough and practical, Baojia even sits, report and exonerate!

    One word, kill!

    Fei Ruhe's suppressing bandits also killed many people, some of them were innocent, but in troubled times, heavy codes don't care about so many people.

    Let's say that when the messenger went back to report, the leaders of the field soldiers were frowning, and then there were differences and quarrels.

    Some said that they would surrender immediately, and the longer they dragged on, the worse it would end.

    Some said that we have to wait, and that the terms of surrender must be clearly discussed.

    After arguing like this for half a month, the leaders of the field soldiers went up to the tower every day, and they could see the land being divided outside the city.  It was their own land, and a lot of it was given to ordinary field soldiers, who were divided away right under their noses as before.

    The leaders of the field soldiers were anxious, and ordinary field soldiers were also anxious.

    These small soldiers are all tenants, and they rebelled with the leaders because they just wanted land.  After finally getting the land, and now it's all gone, why are they still rebelling?

    It would be better not to rebel, and to be tenants honestly, and Zhao Tianwang will give them the land.

    Twenty days after Fei Ruhe besieged the city, the lower-level officers began to join forces in secret.

    A small leader named Li Tianbao said: "Why do we rebel and fight? It's not to divide a few acres of land. I heard that Zhao Tianwang also wants to divide the land, so why should we give our lives to Lin Jinshan? Even if we beat Zhao Tianwang's soldiers,  We still only have those few acres of land. If we lose, let alone protect the land, we won’t even be able to save our lives.”

    "Yes, it's no good if you don't surrender, and there's no harm if you surrender!" Another little boss named Wang Yongsi concluded.

    "How about setting fire to the city tonight?"

    "Just tonight!"

    ""

    Setting fire at night will inevitably cause chaos, because many soldiers' families live in the city.

    When a fire broke out in the city that night, countless soldiers rushed down the tower to put out the fire spontaneously together with the people in the city.  And those soldiers who surrendered in series took the opportunity to shout "Zhao Tianwang has entered the city", which quickly caused greater chaos, and some soldiers simply opened the city gate and ran out.

    Lin Jinshan was also running, and the moment the fire broke out in the city, he knew it must be over.

    "kill!"

    Fei Ruhe resolutely led his troops to attack the city, and only when the chaos subsided at dawn, the entire county was burned down by one-fifth of the fire.Do things according to my rules, that is one of my own.  If you don't follow my rules, then you are not your own.  There is a limit to my tolerance for your Hakka villages and towns, who first refused to settle down, and then refused to cooperate with the peasant association after you settled down.  "

    The Jiangxi gentry gloated over his misfortune, while the Hakka leaders were uneasy.

    "Ordinary Hakka brothers will definitely not boycott the peasant association. You, the leader, are obstructing it all." Zhao Han's tone became more serious. "As punishment, I will forcibly divide the land, instead of allowing you to  People can reserve up to 100 acres of land! Now, the people in the mountains can reserve up to 50 acres per person!"

    Those Hakka leaders were both angry and afraid, hiding their anger one by one.

    Zhao Han continued: "Anyone who refuses to accept can rebel. I don't mind killing a few Liwei. Once the Hakkas make a fuss, no matter whether they participate or not, the other Hakkas in the town can keep ten acres of land. Unless  Only by reporting in advance can we not be punished."

    The gentry in Jiangxi are more happy, they like to watch their enemies suffer.

    Zhao Han suddenly turned to the representatives of the gentry: "You better be honest. Some people refuse to accept my division of land and are colluding with each other in private to make trouble. I have been reported on this matter a long time ago. Don't force me to commit family raids and extermination."

    The gentlemen were instantly solemn, and their smiles disappeared immediately.

    Zhao Han announced again: "The latest land policy has been slightly changed, you can check it out."

    ?This year, the land administration has made fine adjustments. The cultivated land is divided into four grades: upper field, middle field, lower field, and lower field.

    Most of the upper fields are paddy fields, most of the middle fields are dry fields, and most of the lower fields are mountainous areas, and the lower fields are very barren.

    ? When dividing the land, each person can divide four acres into the field, and if the field is not enough, use other agents.  One mu of upper field is equal to two mu of middle field, four mu of lower field is equal to five mu of lower field.

    If only Zhongtian is needed, it means that each person can be divided into eight acres!

    If you only need to work in the field, it means that each person can get 20 acres!

    This is based on the actual output of the farm after several years of observation and statistics by the peasant association, and this standard will also be used to collect land taxes in the future.

    In the past three years, those who have reached the age of twelve can also be allocated land this time.

    If there was not enough points before, all should be made up.

    Not afraid of lack of land, Taihe County, Yichun County, Pingxiang County, Yongxin County, and Yongning County have all been ravaged by rebels.  After the population drops sharply, the remaining counties can migrate there.

    The same is true in the southern Jiangxi region. After a series of wars, there must be enough arable land.

    "You Hakka people, are you willing to form a peasant association?" Zhao Han asked.

    These Hakka leaders exchanged opinions with each other's eyes, and then knelt down in unison and said: "We all obey Zhao Zongzhen's orders!"

    Zhao Han has already said that in the future, the farmers association will mediate any disputes over water.

    If the Hakka people don’t build farmers’ associations, why don’t they let Jiangxi natives bully them?

    Zhao Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he does not contradict the peasant association, the conflict between natives and guests will definitely be difficult to eliminate, but it can be resolved slowly in the future.

 Body 220 [Bodhisattva Heart, Thunderbolt Means]

    Of the four counties in Nan'an Prefecture, only Chongyi County has not been won for the time being.

    ? Chongyi County is poor, remote and hard to get around. There are basically no aborigines in Jiangxi. Most of them are Hakkas from Guangdong, and a small part of them are Yao people from Guangdong.  And moved to Jiangxi for a long time, at least 130 years before Wang Yangming suppressed the bandits!

    As for Shangyou County, just next door to Chongyi County, the conflict between locals and Hakkas in the southwest of the county is very serious, and most Hakka people are descended from Chongyi County.

    Zhao Han invited more than forty representatives from the surrounding counties. Naturally, it is impossible to cover everything. These representatives need to go back and pass on information.

    As soon as Zhao Han left Ganzhou, Shangyou County started a commotion.

    At this time, it is the earing and flowering period of rice, and the evaporation is large in the high temperature season.  Once there is a lack of water, the pollen and pistil stigmas are easy to wither, resulting in difficulty in earing, normal pollination, and the formation of hollow paddy.

    And you can't irrigate too much at one time. It is best to keep shallow water in the rice field and irrigate every two to three days.

    In a word, frequent water is required.

    ? Shangyou County, Jilong Village.

    There is a small river here that flows into the Shangyou River. Due to the lack of rain for half a year, the small river is almost dry, and only a little bit of the center of the river is still flowing.

    The Hakka people, whose ancestral home is in Guangdong, live in the upper reaches of the mountains. Except for the area along the river, the overall land is relatively barren.  The natives of Jiangxi live in the lower reaches, and the land is relatively fertile as a whole, and there are much more flat terrain.

    However, the Hakka people have an advantage every time when drought grabs water, because they live upstream!

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    "The bandits are blocking the river, the bandits are blocking the river!"

    The aborigines in the lower reaches were beating gongs and drums. After a while, every family had boys. Even children aged twelve or thirteen began to gather with hoes and sticks.

    The backbone of the peasant association was so frightened that they rushed over to dissuade them: "Don't mess around, don't mess around, I'll report to the mayor, and the mayor will make decisions for us!"

    "Noisy, tie him up!"

    Several backbones of the peasant association were all tied up.  Although many villagers have also joined the peasant association, in order to compete for water sources, they do not listen to the backbone of the peasant association at this moment.

    In half a day, more than 300 people gathered, all of whom were men from the downstream villages.

    They rushed upstream in a mighty way, and soon found the place where the river was crossed. There was a temporary dam on the river there, blocking all the small river water upstream.

    "Demolished!"

    Just when the aborigines in Jiangxi demolished the dams, the Hakkas also started to tell each other, rushing over with red eyes with all kinds of farm tools.

    A total of more than 700 people from both sides fought in the dry and shallow river.

    This time the fight was even more fierce, because there was no rain for half a year, and it was the critical heading period.

    In terms of casualties, the intensity has surpassed that of Fei Ruhe's siege in Nangan

    The battle lasted for a quarter of an hour. Hundreds of people were killed or injured on both sides, and more than 20 people were killed on the spot.

    The natives in Jiangxi were few, so they couldn't beat them. They didn't even care about the corpses, so they fled with the wounded.  They went back and immediately released the backbone of the peasant association, and then ran to the mayor to complain.  The mayor was transferred from Wan'an County, not a native of Shangyou County, so he immediately sent someone to report to Ganzhou City.

    "It's time to kill people, and we can't blindly be virtuous." Liu Huan suggested.

    Liu Anfeng also said: "Half a month ago, the general town made the rules. It's understandable if the distance is far away, maybe the mountain people don't know it, but Jilong Village in Shangyou County is very close. Their kind of  The way to do it is to not pay attention to the general town, nor to pay attention to the government and peasant association in Ganzhou!"

    "well!"

    Chen Maosheng sighed: "I'm going to transfer troops."

    There were only 300 soldiers stationed in Ganzhou City. When Zhao Han left, Chen Maosheng was allowed to move at will.

    Two days later, Chen Maosheng summoned hundreds of missionaries and the backbone of the peasant association, and rushed towards Shangyou County with 300 soldiers.  Although the Shangyou River was dry and shallow, small warships could still sail there. After arriving at the county seat by boat, they walked along the small river to Jilong Village.

    "Master Chen, you have to decide for us, those bandits are so unreasonable!"

    As soon as he entered the village, many farmers came running, kneeling on the ground and begging Chen Maosheng for help.

    Chen Maosheng said expressionlessly: "Who took the lead in tying up the members of the peasant association?"

    No one spoke.

    Chen Maosheng turned around immediately: "Go back to Ganzhou, don't worry about things here."

    "Liu Baocheng asked him to tie him up. I tried to persuade him, but he didn't!" A farmer shouted.

    "Yes, that's Liu Baocheng!" Another farmer said, "He joined the peasant association late, and he didn't become the leader of the peasant association.One by one, the charges were read out, and after the sentence was completed, they were killed, and several heads were chopped off in succession.

    When the Hakka people were cut down, those Hakka villagers were ready to move, and the three hundred Datong soldiers immediately raised their weapons.

    "brush!"

    Another head fell to the ground.

    After more than a dozen heads were chopped off, Chen Maosheng said: "After nitrating with lime, spread it to all counties and villages, and let them see what happens to those who advocate chaos and break the law!"

    In the next half a month or so, Chen Maosheng was directly stationed here, forcibly forming a peasant association and dividing the land.

    ?Because the grain is planted in the field, the result of this division of the field will be effective after the grain is harvested, and we will resolutely attack the Hakka leaders who produce too much land!

    Ordinary Hakka farmers get benefits and get more land.  Although I don't say I really support it, at least I have conflicts with the Hakka leaders, and I will definitely not want to listen to those leaders in the future.

    Then there is drought relief. The river is almost dry, so we can only dig wells to try our luck.

    Two hundred of the three hundred regular soldiers helped the villagers in the upper and lower reaches to dig wells, and gradually got closer to the people at the bottom during labor.

    Just when the rice earing was over, there was a sudden heavy rain.

    Regardless of the natives and the common people, they all cheered and celebrated.

    However, the General Military Mansion was on alert. From southern Jiangxi to central Jiangxi, heavy rains continued in various counties.

    After half a year of drought, a big flood is likely to come!

    For a place like Nanchang County, the spring drought is only a slight failure of the harvest, and the big flood may wipe out the rice harvest!

    What is strange is that there are continuous heavy rains in central and southern Jiangxi, but the northern part of Jiangxi is still suffering from severe drought.  To be precise, it is the eastern part of Jiujiang Prefecture, the northeastern part of Nankang Prefecture, and the northern part of Raozhou Prefecture. These places suffered severe drought last year, and this year there is still no rainfall even in summer.

    ? Floods and droughts come at the same time, God really doesn't leave a way for people to survive.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 221【Commitment】

    ,

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shangyou County and Ningdu County were the areas with the most serious conflicts between natives and tourists, mainly because the two sides were evenly matched.

    Chen Maosheng personally sat in Shangyou County, and sent Liu Huan to sit in Ningdu County.

    The Shangyou River is not long, and Shangyou County is located in the middle reaches.  In addition, it was dry for half a year, and the water level was dry and shallow. Therefore, although many farmlands along the river were submerged after days of heavy rains, overall no major floods were caused.

    Chen Maosheng asked the magistrate of Ganzhou to issue a disaster relief mobilization order, and at the same time led people to rescue the disaster in Shangyou County. He thought this was a good opportunity to ease the conflict between natives and tourists.

    "Director, the mountain has collapsed, half of Shixi Village has been buried!"

    "Follow me!"

    A collapsed mountain is a landslide.

    Chen Maosheng led his people to set off overnight and arrived the next morning.  This place is further upstream from Jilong Village, where all the Hakka people live. Due to the massive felling of trees and the reclamation of hillsides for farmland, the vegetation has been severely damaged.

    There was a flash flood the day before yesterday, followed by a landslide, and a whole mountain wall collapsed, directly burying half of the village.

    This kind of situation was very common in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.  It was not until the Qianlong period that the local people completely changed their minds and changed a large number of grain-growing mountainous lands to plant economic trees.  Before that, neither the Ming Dynasty government nor the Qing Dynasty government would listen to any persuasion, and had to correct after frequent disasters and suffered losses.

    As far as he could see, Chen Maosheng could only see howling, countless Hakka people were digging up the mound of earth and rocks, trying to dig out their neighbors and relatives.

    A local official said: "Director, this must be dredged, otherwise there will be another heavy rain, and a barrier pond may be formed. Once the barrier pond accumulates water and breaks its embankment, the entire downstream will be flooded!"

    Chen Maosheng immediately went back and called the people who were fighting for water some time ago, and asked them to see the situation upstream.

    Immediately thereafter, an order was issued to organize the upstream and downstream, and all local peasants in the vicinity.

    The forcefully formed peasant association played a huge role at this time.  The peasant association organized the villagers, and several village chiefs were in charge of mobilizing supplies. More than 4,000 people quickly started working, completely abandoning previous conflicts and enmity.

    After explaining the truth clearly, no one dares to slack off, because it is related to everyone's wealth and life.

    Of course, if there is no official lead, it is estimated that the village next door will just stand by and watch.  Someone must stand up and be convinced by both forces in order to blend them together.

    The sky began to rain again, and the rain gradually became heavier.

    "Director, here comes the umbrella." An official held an umbrella for Chen Maosheng.

    Chen Maosheng threw away the umbrella: "All the people here are working in the rain, what do you think I am holding an umbrella alone? You rush to eat, don't let people work for half a day, in the end you don't even have a mouthful of hot food!"

    Immediately afterwards, Chen Maosheng directed again: "Dig over there first, and don't let the mountains and floods accumulate!"

    The flag of the peasant association was quietly planted on the mound of soil, not fluttering in the wind, but was constantly beating by the rain, surrounded by people digging soil and rocks in the rain.

    "Boom!"

    Suddenly, another mountain collapsed.

    The villagers working nearby fled one after another, but several people were still buried alive.

    "Digging people, digging people quickly!"

    Chen Maosheng shouted.

    Dozens of people rushed over, digging soil and moving stones quickly.  Three people were dug out in a row, and all of them died.

    "I still have energy, this one still has energy!"

    The fourth person was very lucky and rolled a large rock beside him, leaving enough gap space.  He even suffered only minor injuries all over his body, and was temporarily unconscious due to lack of oxygen.

    It was enough to save one, and everyone cheered.

    The village chiefs of the upstream and downstream villages lead the women, girls and children to deliver the freshly prepared meals.

    "Young man, eat first." A middle-aged woman handed the clay bowl to the young man.

    "Thank you, Auntie."

    After the young man took the job and blurted it out, he realized that the woman was speaking Hakka.

    Both parties were a little embarrassed, smiled at each other, and walked away.

    Before it was too late, everyone didn't wear rain gear.  Two village chiefs thought of it, so they sent a lot of coir raincoats and bamboo hats, and they didn't care about the difference between men and women at this time.  Let the women who deliver meals help put the clothes on for the young and strong men who are working while everyone is eating.

    See those women, looking for acquaintances, walking around the ground with coir raincoats and bamboo hats.  Chen Maosheng shouted immediately: "What time is it, and there are relatives and estrangements, which one is not working hard for everyone?"

    After finishing speaking in Jiangxi dialect, Chen Maosheng shouted again in Hakka dialect.

    His Hakka dialect is really bad, and many tones areShuttle on the embankment to greet the cold and warm, cheering for the officers, soldiers and people fighting the flood.

    Wang Diaoding observed all this silently, and suddenly said to the scholars beside him: "This is not a holy master? If this person is not a king, who else in the world can do it?"

    Everyone was silent and speechless.

    Most of the previous floods in Ji'an Mansion were abandoned outside the city.  After the flood receded, the magistrate would come forward and persuade the big households to donate money and food, and then repair the stone embankment by the river.

    There has never been an official who was able to mobilize the people in this way to fight against the flood.

    Wang Tiaoding pointed to Fei Rulan who was running on the embankment again: "This mother is a man of the world!"

    A scholar named He Qiliang suddenly said: "Masters, today I know that there is a sage master, and I am willing to serve him. Although Bailuzhou Academy is good, it is better to go out to save the common people. Goodbye!"

    He Qiliang left the inn and walked towards the embankment in the rain. Not long after, more than 20 scholars followed.

    These people came to Zhao Han's side and bowed in unison.

    He Qiliang asked: "Sir, we all want to serve, please send me an errand."

    Zhao Han got up and bowed his hands in return: "You can go to the government office to follow the arrangement."

    All the scholars bowed again and headed towards the government office in unison.

 Body 222 [Zhao Tianwang's Wild Fan] (addition for the leader "yzzzzzzzzz")

    ,

    The real bitter battle is in Zhangshu Town.

    Zhangshu Town is a town with the richest tax revenue under Zhao Han's rule.  The fiscal revenue contributed by Zhangshu Town alone is worth the sum of Longquan and Yongning counties!

    After the Ganjiang River flows through Ji'an Mansion, it merges into a large river and several small rivers.  When they arrived at Zhangshu Town, the Yuan River came again with floods. The two rivers converged and washed out a sharp bend, and even brought a large amount of sediment to deposit into a sandbar.

    At the beginning, Wang Siren's officers, soldiers and navy had an absolute advantage, but they didn't dare to read the river mouth.  In fact, they dare not cross the sandbar. The river is narrow and the water situation is complicated. Even if they are not attacked by fire, they will be surrounded and ambushed.

    With this, Zhao Han was able to calmly confront the government and army, but now because of this terrain, Zhangshu Town has brought huge pressure to fight the flood.

    "Call!"

    The bamboo whistle sounded, and more than two thousand farmers and soldiers rushed over.

    There were thousands of young adults who were organized by the peasant association and went to the lower reaches of Zhangshu Town.

    The mayor of the town took his officials and knocked on doors from door to door, recruiting the townspeople to build embankments to fight the flood.

    In fact, along the entire Ganjiang River, flood embankments have been built since the Tang Dynasty.

    ? In particular, the east dike of the Ganjiang River upstream and downstream of Fengcheng, from the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, has been able to protect 600,000 mu of farmland.  The Ming Dynasty continued to build more, but it was not until the Republic of China that the dikes on the Zhangshu Town side could be connected.

    After the Wanli Dynasty, the local water conservancy was corrupted, and it all depended on the responsible local officials to call on the gentry to donate money for repairs.

    As long as there are official organizations, the gentry are also willing to donate money, which is to protect their property.  Take the dikes in Zhangshu Town as an example. Once the flood floods or breaks the dikes, it may submerge 100,000 mu of fertile land, because the banks are all low-lying areas.

    Both the prefect of Linjiang and the prefect of Qingjiang are in charge of the prefectural city, and they can't get through during the flood.

    The safety of Zhangshu Town rests on the mayor Liu Tongyu.

    Liu Tongyu was born as a scholar of a wealthy family, with both civil and military skills, and served as a civil servant in the army at the beginning.  Together with Zhang Tieniu, he also captured Xingan County by defrauding the city. His position as mayor was not inferior to that of the county magistrate.

    At this moment, Liu Tongyu was running on the embankment along the river to direct the flood fighting in the rain.

    Under the organization of the government, the residents of the town joined in one after another, and the peasants, soldiers and peasant associations also took action.

    No one dared to slack off, their ancestors lived by the river for generations, and they knew that this year's situation was not right.  This torrential rain has been falling for too long, and it finally cleared for two days in the middle, and suddenly there was another heavy rainstorm.

    ? Not only the town leads people to observe the water level every day, but the common people also go to observe it every day. After all, it is more than 100,000 mu of land once flooded, and there is no status in the face of the flood.

    The medicinal material merchants in Zhangshu Town all joined forces and sent money and men to build embankments.  If the embankment breaks or floods, they will suffer the greatest loss. Many people have piled up several warehouses of medicinal materials.

    ?From Zhangshu Town to the north, there are peasant soldiers and peasant associations on both sides of the bank, organizing the masses to fight the flood.

    If you look down from a high altitude, it looks like countless ants, carrying sandbags and mud baskets to and from the river, performing the most grand and magnificent epic in the world.

    Fei Chun was actually the one who had the most headaches. Not only did he have to allocate funds for disaster relief, but after the flood receded, he also had to reduce or exempt the people's land taxes as appropriate.  Although mountainous areas are not affected by floods, the drought is extremely severe, which means that taxes will be generally reduced or exempted this year.

    The money and food in the official warehouse are not enough!

    ? Originally, the truce of Zhaoan, the smooth flow of salt roads, and the financial problems have been alleviated.  As long as the harvest continues this year, or an average year, the warehouses in all counties will be able to pile up like mountains.

    What the hell is a catastrophic year coming suddenly?

    Fei Chun felt a deep malice, feeling that God was deliberately against him.

    Han Chengxuan, as the county magistrate of Nanchang appointed by the imperial court, also left Nanchang County at this moment, and came to the bank of Ganjiang River to direct the increase and construction of embankments.

    He had already been emptied, without any real power to speak of.

    However, he was active in disaster relief, and at this moment he also obtained part of the command, as if he had become an official under Zhao Han's command.

    After working hard for two consecutive days and nights, seeing the water level drop little by little, Han Chengxuan was so tired that he lay directly on the embankment.

    "Master Han is eating." A woman brought the food with a smile.

    Han Chengxuan struggled to get up, smiled and said, "Thank you."

    While eating and observing, the embankment is full of officials and civilians lying in disorder.

    Hu Dinggui came over with his job bowl in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's better to be a thief than a county honorer. You are a good official. It's a pity to give your life to the dog emperor."

    The title of Emperor Dog made Han Chengxuan dumbfounded. He had heard it countless times in Jiangxi.  I was angry at firstBegging for food in the wilderness, countless people starved to death along the way.

    By the Longkou River.

    Ding Jiasheng, a poor scholar who had been starving for a whole day, approached some friends in the same village and said, "There was a severe drought along the way, and the small households had no food left, and the big households were closed and refused to give food. If this continues,  Sooner or later you will starve to death, I think it is better to rebel."

    "Can we succeed in rebelling?" asked a friend.

    Ding Jiasheng took out a copy of "Da Tong Ji" from his arms, and said: "There is a Zhao Tianwang in the south.  I found it at the door of Master Zhou's house."

    The other friends have never read the book, and asked: "What is this book about?"

    "How rebellious it is written," Ding Jiasheng said, "I have been reading every day for the past year, and I can recite everything written in the book. Let's kill a few landlords first, open warehouses to release grain, and recruit more people. Divide the land  I'm afraid it will be difficult, so let's take people directly to attack the county seat. After the city is taken down, we will invite Zhao Tianwang to be the master, and we can also be heroes. Remember, Zhao Tianwang is benevolent, forbidding to kill people, and forbidding to rape women  .These two rules cannot be broken, if anyone breaks, I will turn my face and deny anyone."

    On the same day, Ding Jiasheng instigated hundreds of people to break into the landlord's house.  While opening the warehouse to release the grain, he also killed a few Liwei who had bad manners.

    ?They engulfed hungry people along the way and robbed landlords to raise food for the army.

    ?The troops were divided halfway, and the large force headed for the capital city of Raozhou. Ding Jiasheng personally led a small group of main forces to go straight to Duchang County, disguised as civilians, and seized the county seat in one fell swoop.

    At the same time, the banner of Zhao Tianwang was unfurled, and countless hungry people came to seek refuge.

    This person also selected talents, and even started to distribute land to the people around the county town.

 Text 223 [Twenty thousand surrounded by one thousand]

    Nanchang Fucheng.

    Xiong Wencan turned pale with shock: "What, Raozhou City is gone? Has King Huai escaped?"

    "I'm afraid, more bad luck than good luck." The messenger replied.

    Xiong Wencan immediately slumped back and felt chills all over his body, as if falling into an ice cave.

    Civil officials have always ignored the vassal kings. If there is nothing to impeach, they can continue to improve their reputation and political achievements, and the court and officials are also happy to see it.

    However, it is one thing for civil servants to impeach a vassal king, but it is another thing for a vassal king to be killed by rebels!

    Southern Jiangxi has a tradition of rebellion, and Northeast Jiangxi also has a tradition of rebellion, because there are also mountains and poor people.

    Duchang County, which was occupied by the rebels this time, had a riot a few years ago. Gujian Mountain once belonged to the tribe of Duchang rebels in name.  Rao Prefecture, which was occupied by the rebels, also had a riot once, and all the family members of Duke Huai were killed.

    King Huai was also unlucky. After his family was killed, he did not return to the palace for two years, and the city of Raozhou was attacked by rebels.

    Xiong Wencan's throat was dry, and he asked: "The rebels in Raozhou Prefecture also use the banner of Zhao Yan?"

    "No," the spies replied, "it's Duchang Ding Bandit under the banner of Zhao Tianwang. This Lu bandit in Raozhou was originally a member of Ding Jiasheng's tribe. Because of indiscriminate killings and Ding Bandit's disagreement, they split up halfway. Ding Bandit  After attacking Duchang County, Lu thief went to attack Rao Prefecture. King Huai"

    "Go on, don't hide it!" Xiong Wencan scolded.

    The spies said: "The last time the rebels broke into the city, King Huai was robbed of all his savings from past dynasties. After returning to Raozhou, he exploited them wantonly. Raozhou was hit by a drought this year, and then it was flooded again. King Huai still did not restrain himself, and the chief secretary was strict.  Urge Fu. As soon as the bandit Lu arrived, the people of Raozhou rebelled, and tens of thousands of troops gathered in half a month."

    Xiong Wencan has nothing to say, he can imagine what life the people in Raozhou live.

    ?First the drought, then the flood, the former was exploited by the vassal kings, and the latter was pressed by the government.  This is a pot of boiling oil, which will ignite if it sticks to sparks. How could someone take the lead in a rebellion and not explode?

    To be honest, if the people in Raozhou did not rebel, countless hungry people would flock to Nanchang to beg. At that time, tens of thousands of hungry people would gather in Nanchang Mansion, which would also be a headache.

    Now things are even more difficult. The Ding thief occupied Duchang County, unfurled the banner of Zhao Tianwang, and followed Zhao Han's example of fighting landlords to divide the land.  The bandits Lu occupied Raozhou's capital and had more troops in their hands, but killing innocent people indiscriminately was just that kind of traditional rebel.

    On the government side, there is no way to conquer.

    There are still some officers and soldiers, but after many defeats, they have already lost their will to fight, and they want to run away when they see the rebels.

    Xiong Wencan can only wait anxiously. He has already written to Zhao Han, hoping that Zhao Han can help suppress the thieves.  Don't talk about luring wolves into the house, because Jiangxi has long been surrounded by wolves, and it is enough for Zhao Hanneng to suppress the thieves on the surface.

    After waiting for a few more days, the Datong army finally came.

    Gu Jianshan led the naval forces, and Li Zheng led the army to take the boat, which docked directly outside the city of Nanchangfu.

    What are you doing here?

    Of course, they want money and money. It is normal to get a starting fee to help the court suppress thieves.  This year's catastrophe, the Datong Army has no surplus food, Xiong Wencan must express it.

    In desperation, Xiong Wencan could only raise funds as much as possible, and even forced those big households to donate money.

    Originally, there were still some big families who wanted the court, but with Xiong Wencan's actions, the gentry lost all thoughts of being powerful.

    What is all this?

    The government and big households provide money and food to help the Luling Zhao thieves expand their territory!

    There must have been countless officials and gentry complaining, but the impeachment letter was sent to the capital, like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no response at all.

    After extorting a sum of money and food, Gu Jianshan and Li Zheng immediately sailed from the Ganjiang River to Poyang Lake, and arrived in Duchang County in two or three days.

    When Ding Jiasheng got the news, he immediately led his troops out of the city to meet him.  Holding the "Da Tong Ji" in his hand, he knelt down and shouted: "Ding Jiasheng, I am willing to work for Mr. Zhao!"

    Gu Jianshan and Li Zheng looked at each other, and they were very surprised that this thief was really willing to sacrifice the city.

    Gu Jianshan hurriedly stood up: "Brother Ding, you are not allowed to kneel down in the town, all people in the world are born equal."

    "Great unity under heaven, this is also my lifelong ambition." Ding Jiasheng stood up and said.

    Gu Jianshan returned to the navy ship, Ding Jiasheng led Li Zheng into the city, pointed to the land outside the city and said: "There are more than 2,000 mu of land around the county town, but the ability is limited, and chaos frequently occurs when the land is divided.  Datong officials, please come and preside over it quickly."

    It was only then that Li Zheng believed that Ding Jiasheng was really his own, and said: "I can write to the general town to tell the town, but the Lu thief in Raozhou is Brother Ding's old department?"

    "No," Ding Jiasheng said, "I'm in Shimen Town.Lu Xiangyou felt that this could not go on like this, so he summoned the leaders and said, "The king of Zhao is also a human being. Where are the heavenly soldiers and generals? There are only a thousand enemies outside the city, but we have 20,000 people. Ten of them can't win by fighting one? Let me fight."  Go out of town and fight!"

    These big and small leaders are not within the scope of forgiveness. They must either flee or fight a battle.  And Lu Xiangyou bestowed many beauties and treasures, and they would definitely not be able to take them away, which made them reluctant.

    Then hit!

    ? On the next day, 20,000 rebels came out from various city gates, and there was even congestion when they left the city.

    Many rebels fled immediately after leaving the city, and the leaders of the rebels could not stop them at all.

    "Advance in line!"

    The 1,500 Datong Army, lined up in a neat formation, walked towards the city without haste.

    "Heavenly soldiers are coming, run!"

    Facing the rebels of the Datong Army, half a mile away, they suddenly swarmed away.  Hearing such shouts from outside the city, the rebels in the city became even more anxious, frantically trying to squeeze out of the city gate.

    There are two city gates, and the urn city is full of people. In order to escape from the city as soon as possible, they even started killing each other.

    Lu Xiangyou froze in place, his mind full of question marks.  I have more than 20,000 people, and there are only more than 1,000 people on the other side. How could the whole army be defeated before the fight started?

    Xiong Wencan was very happy when the news of the extermination of bandits came back to Nanchang, and immediately wrote a memorial to report his merits.  The general content is: the two prefectures of Raozhou and Nankang were first hit by drought and then flooded.  Under the coordination and command of the governor, the officers and soldiers smashed the rebels, but it was a pity that King Huai was killed.

    The memorial has not been sent yet, but the imperial decree has been sent.

    Xiong Wencan made great achievements in recruiting rebels. He was promoted to the right deputy capital imperial envoy, and was transferred to the prime minister of the six northern provinces to assist the governors of the six provinces in eradicating the rogues.

    Xiong Wencan wanted to cry holding the edict: Your Majesty is confused, I really don't have that much ability!

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 224【Zhao Han's promotion】

    In the current situation, Hong Chengchou is the governor of the six provinces, and Wang Jiazhen, the minister of the Ministry of War, is the prime minister of the six provinces.

    Yang Sichang felt that Wang Jiazhen was mentally retarded, so he recommended Xiong Wencan to replace him, and Chongzhen quickly agreed to the appointment.

    Therefore, Xiong Wencan was promoted and transferred, and he should thank Yang Sichang a lot.

    As for Lu Xiangsheng, he was highly valued by the emperor, and was transferred to the governor of Xuanfu, Datong, and Shanxi, and was responsible for defending the Manchu invasion from the grassland.

    At this time, Lu Xiangsheng is farming in peace of mind, recruiting a large number of refugees to cultivate, and storing more than 200,000 shi of grain in a year, and there is no need for the imperial court to spend money to raise soldiers!

    Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, and issued a special commendation order, requiring Jiubian to study Lu Xiangsheng's advanced experience seriously.

    Let's talk about the changes in the court.

    Shoufu Wen Tiren finally fell from power.

    The reason is that after the restoration of the recommendation system, a large number of Donglin party members were reinstated, and a large number of rehabilitated members were recommended.  Coupled with the previous old grievances, Wen Tiren believed that Qian Qianyi and Qu Shixu, the master and apprentice, were behind the scenes.

    Therefore, Wen Tiren instructed Zhang Hanru to report the two for illegal crimes.

    Qian Qianyi and Qu Shixu have been dismissed from office for many years. They have been shrinking in their hometowns and engaged in the literary reform movement of "clearing the roots".  Misfortune suddenly fell from the sky, Qian Qianyi immediately asked two people to help get rid of the crime.

    One is the eunuch Cao Huachun, an old team member of Chongzhen when he was the prince.

    One is Feng Quan, who is an eunuch and has been dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.

    Although Feng Quan was an eunuch who was dismissed from office, his father gave birth to ten daughters and recruited a bunch of more powerful sons-in-law.  Feng Quan didn't want to be nosy at first, but when he heard that Cao Huachun was willing to help, he also mobilized his contacts to push the boat forward.

    Why did Cao Huachun help Qian Qianyi?

    Because after the death of the great eunuch Wang An, Qian Qianyi wrote an inscription to Wang An.

    And Wang An was the companion of Emperor Taichang, and he once participated in supporting the establishment of Emperor Tianqi.  Even the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian came to power by currying favor with Wang An's horse boy.  Wei Zhongxian and the Ke family became bigger, framed Wang An for rebellion, and sent him to the South China Sea to starve to death.

    After Chongzhen ascended the throne, he bestowed the word "Zhaozhong" on Wang An's ancestral hall.

    As for Cao Huachun, he is also Wang An's disciple!

    Qian Qianyi sent someone to send the inscription he wrote to Wang An to Cao Huachun.  Cao Huachun thought of Wang An's kindness in the past, and he himself could not understand Wen Tiren more and more, so he took the opportunity to help Qian Qianyi defend.

    Wen Tiren was overjoyed by the news, and wanted to kill Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun together, so he went to Chongzhen to make a small report.

    Chongzhen formed the most ruthless clique, Qian Qianyi and Cao Huachun were the ones!

    At the same time, Wen Tiren asked someone to post a big-character poster, saying that Qian Qianyi had given Cao Huachun 40,000 taels of silver.

    This action seemed superfluous, probably because there was no money given, Cao Huachun insisted on giving money, and asked Chongzhen to send Jin Yiwei and Dongchang to check it out.

    After checking and checking, it was found that Wen Tiren was in collusion with Zhang Hanru, and that Chen Luqian was instigating it, and it was also found that Wen Tiren sent people to post the big-character posters.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Tiren hid at home and pretended to be sick, only to wait for three words from Chongzhen Zhu's approval: let him go.

    In this regard, Wen Tiren was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown.

    As for the eunuch Cao Huachun, he also exposed many problems, and he was suspected by Chongzhen from then on.

    The chief assistant of the cabinet and the eunuch holding the pen can be described as a lose-lose.

    Did the Donglin Party win?

    Chongzhen has been staring at the Donglin Party, how could it be possible for the Donglin Party to benefit.

    Zhang Zhifa, who was born in the Qi Party, became the chief assistant in a daze.  The cabinet ministers in front of him were either eliminated by Wen Tiren, or by Chongzhen.

    This old man was also passionate, but now he has become an official fan.  After he became the first assistant, he learned from Wen Tiren in everything, which can be regarded as "a copycat version of Wen Tiren who is not so clean and sensible"

    Qianqing palace.

    The accompanying eunuch came with a smile and said to Liu Tongsheng: "Please, the champion, the emperor has been waiting for a long time."

    Liu Tongsheng, who fled from Jishui to Nanchang, studied hard, won the Jinshi, and was also hand-picked as the number one scholar.

    ? According to the original historical trajectory, he will be involved in the political struggle between Yang Sichang and the Donglin Party.  Because Shangshu criticized Yang Sichang for seizing his love and becoming an official, he was demoted by Chongzhen to be the governor of Fujian's procuratorate, and he returned home due to illness in a rage.

    However, Liu Tongsheng became more mature after experiencing Zhao Han's rebellion and his family fleeing.

    He didn't directly go to the Shu to scold Yang Sichang, but impeached Xiong Wencan for colluding with the rebels. Anyway, Yang Sichang and Xiong Wencan were also in the same group.

    Chongzhen is reviewing memorials, and the emperor is very diligent.

    Liu Tongsheng came up to meet him, and Chongzhen said: "Chang.  It is said that outside the city of Raozhou, thousands of clans shouted "Long live Zhao thief".  "

    "The clan shouted long live the bandits?" Chongzhen stood up abruptly, standing on the spot in shock.

    Liu Tongsheng said: "There are a lot of poor people in the clan of Raozhou, even the generals and captains. The money and food for the clan in the local area are mostly deducted by the prince and the county king, and the clan's children are not allowed to engage in all kinds of jobs. Some clans even rely on begging for income.  born."

    Chongzhen was completely dumbfounded, the descendants of the Zhu family are beggars?  It's really a return to the ancestral business!

    Chongzhen asked suspiciously: "Isn't the clan with a distant bloodline allowed to make a living by itself?"

    The problem of the clan has long been revealed, so in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, those with distant bloodlines could not receive Lumi, and could fend for themselves like ordinary people.

    Liu Tongsheng replied: "The prince colluded with the county king to fill in the clan book indiscriminately, and the local government did not strictly enforce the court decrees."

    Chongzhen was furious, and determined to check the clan records of various places, so that the descendants of the Zhu family at the bottom could make a living by themselves.

    This is so fucking nonsense, the descendants of the Zhu family shouted long live the rebels?  Chongzhen seemed to have been slapped.

    Liu Tongsheng kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, if Jiangxi is not rectified, it will definitely fall into the hands of Zhao thieves!"

    Chongzhen was silent, sighing in his heart.

    ?This year, there was a catastrophe across the country, bandits revived, and the tax lands in the south of the Yangtze River were also hit by disasters. How can there be money to suppress bandits in Jiangxi?

    The rogue bandits have caused disasters in several provinces, and the Tartars have repeatedly violated the capital. These two bands of bandits must be fought first.  As for Jiangxi, since the thief Zhao didn't cause chaos across provinces, he can only let it go for the time being.

    After thinking about it for a while, Chongzhen comforted him: "Qing is a great talent, and you can read it for your servant. Don't talk about Jiangxi's affairs for the time being."

    Liu Tongsheng could only listen to the order, and kowtowed in tears: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Although Liu Tongsheng only advanced one level, he took a crucial step.  As an attendant, he can often see the emperor, and he can also go to the Forbidden City to discuss matters.

    In order to appease Zhao Han, Chongzhen quickly promulgated an imperial decree, in the name of his meritorious service in suppressing thieves, he promoted Zhao Han to be the governor's co-knowledge (Cong Yipin), and even gave Fei Rulan a royal wife.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 225 [Taking Jingdezhen] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Knowing that Xiong Wencan was transferred away, Zhao Han immediately ordered Li Zheng to send troops to Fuliang County.

    Even if you want to tear yourself apart from the imperial court, you must seize Fuliang, because there is Jingdezhen there.

    In the Ming Dynasty, the general notification county is the seventh grade.

    ? Wanping and Daxing magistrates are the sixth grade, because they are attached to Guo Beijing, they can control part of the capital.

    The magistrate of Fuliang, the fifth rank!

    Zhao Han encountered a catastrophe this year, and had to help the victims. His finances were already in extreme distress, and he would be able to fill up immediately after taking Jingdezhen.

    After Li Zheng killed more than a dozen thieves, he selected two or three thousand thieves and transferred Ding Jiasheng to be the commander-in-chief urgently.  Ding Jiasheng rushed to Fuliang County with these thieves in a hurry, pretending to attack the county seat.

    ?The magistrate of Fuliang County is called Lu Hongsheng, a native of Jinjiang, who was appointed in the seventh year of the Apocalypse.

    He felt that he could not pass the Jinshi exam, so he spent money to make a teaching edict of Zhao'an County.  In the third year of Chongzhen, Lu Hongsheng participated in the Jinling Conference. After joining the Fushe, he was promoted immediately, and now he is the magistrate of Fuliang, the fifth rank.

    Lu Hongsheng has no other skills. He likes to write articles, likes to hold literary clubs, and pays more attention to education.

    As for the others, he really can't.

    For example, when rebels besieged the city, Lu Hongsheng was completely blinded.

    "What should I do!" Lu Hongsheng stood on the tower.  If there were not hungry people outside the city, he would have ordered the gates to be closed long ago, and the rebels had already attacked.

    Wu Bing was also panicked, but he still didn't lose his mind. He said, "At night, Xuan Basket sent people out of the city to go to the Raozhou Prefecture to rescue soldiers. There is General Li (Li Zheng) there. He defeated the rebels a few days ago.  The siege of floating beams."

    Lu Hongsheng's eyes widened, and he felt that Wu Bing was mentally retarded: "The soldiers of Zhao Bandit are in Raozhou City, so this is an act of luring wolves into the house!"

    "The thieves here are evil. If you break the city, you and I may lose our lives. Zhao's thieves are kind, and they don't kill indiscriminately. Even if they steal Fuliang, they can keep the people safe," Wu Bing also reminded, "Don't do it again  Call it Bandit Zhao, this person has been recruited by the imperial court, and he is my dignified military officer."

    Lu Hongsheng thought about it, and there was no better way, so he could only agree: "Well, I will send someone to Raozhou to ask for help at night."

    Wu Bing, a Jiangxi academic officer, has earned a total of more than 3,000 taels in various prefectures by relying on this year's Taoist examination.

    When he visited Fuliang County, Lu Hongsheng, the county magistrate, welcomed him warmly and held a special literary meeting for him.  Both of them were members of Fushe, and they hit it off immediately, so Wu Bing decided to live in Fuliang County, since there was no point in going back to Nanchang anyway.

    ?This pair of crouching dragon and phoenix chicks completely ignored the disaster situation. They spent all day drinking, composing poems and writing articles, and occasionally went to the brothel to inspect the work together.

    They were anxious in the city, and Ding Jiasheng had a headache outside the city.

    Ding Jiasheng only brought over two or three thousand rebels, all of whom had already surrendered. After this mission, they could return to the village to divide the land.

    However, from Raozhou all the way to Fuliang, the number of rebels under Ding Jiasheng's command increased to more than 12,000.  They were all hungry people who voluntarily joined along the way, dragging their families one by one. Ding Jiasheng could only support himself by robbing landlords.

    Fortunately, there are mission officers in the army to help Ding Jiasheng restrain the troops, and at the same time organize the families of the rebels into the rear army.  It can not only help deliver supplies, but also hold hostages, so that those hungry people who join along the way will be obedient.

    After all, Ding Jiasheng was born as a poor scholar and had never read military books. He couldn't even set up camp well, and the mission team was responsible for helping him set up camp.

    "Why don't you come?" Ding Jiasheng looked to the south, and he wanted to attack the city directly.

    Li Zheng led his troops and walked slowly along the Changjiang River.

    Traveling to Guxiandu, suddenly a Fuliang county official rushed over, stopped the army and knelt down and shouted: "General, please rush to help Fuliang!"

    ? After receiving the request letter from the county magistrate, Li Zheng laughed loudly and immediately accelerated his march.

    ?As far as the county seat, without taking any rest, Li Zheng raised his gun and pointed at the rebel camp: "Kill!"

    After hearing the news, Lu Hongsheng and Wu Bing went to the city to watch the battle. They saw the Datong army marching in line, and they were able to maintain their formation while trotting.

    Wu Bing clapped his hands and praised: "What a majestic teacher!"

    "It's a pity that they are bandit soldiers." Lu Hongsheng said with emotion.

    Wu Bing corrected immediately: "Since recruiting security, it is an official army, and don't call it a thief again."

    Lu Hongsheng immediately changed his words: "Indeed."

    Seeing that halfway through the attack led by Li Zheng, the bandit camp had already collapsed, and countless rebels fled to the mountains to the north.

    Lu Hongsheng was dumbfounded: "This is winning?"

    Wu Bing sighed and said: "Zhao Zongzhen's soldiers already have the power of tigers and wolves. If they are not bandits, if officers and soldiers encounter them, it may be the same situation."

    After performing a full set of plays, Li Zheng led his troops to chase for a while before returning to his division and arriving outside the county seat.

    &nbspThey all came from Zhejiang. There is only one sentence in the history books: "(Chongzhen) Ten years, there was a great famine in Zhejiang, and father and son, brothers, and husband and wife ate each other."

    Why could Chongzhen tolerate Zhao Han and give Zhao Han a promotion?

    It is because of the severe drought in Zhejiang and Nanzhili this year, and the phenomenon of cannibalism can be seen everywhere in the elite taxation land of Ming Dynasty.

    ? Governor Wu Bing returned to Qianshan and found that there were also hungry people along the coast. They supported each other in twos and threes, hoping to go to Ehu Town and Hekou Town to discuss food.

    Witnessing all this, Wu Bing suddenly came up with a strange idea: If the Zhao thieves occupy this place, they will be able to save these victims.

    "Wow woo woo woo woo!"

    Wu Bing suddenly burst into tears, because he is from Yixing, and his hometown began to suffer from drought last year, and there has not been much rain until now. Taihu Lake has dried up to the point where only the center of the lake is left.

    The family wrote a letter some time ago, saying that they no longer dare to go out casually, and that they must be accompanied by more than ten people every time they go out.

    If you go out alone, you may not be able to go home, and you will be killed and eaten by hungry people.

    Thinking of the tragic situation in his hometown, Wu Bingyue cried more and more sadly.

    It used to be so beautiful and rich. When he was young, he often called friends and went boating on Taihu Lake.  Now, Taihu Lake has dried up, and hungry people are everywhere. I don't know how many people have turned into dry bones.

    Wu Bing is famous for his opera creation. Although he is greedy for money and lustful, he is an extremely emotional person.

    Under the feeling of being touched by the scene, his eyes were red from crying, and he completely lost the interest in playing.

    He returned to Nanchang Mansion by boat, went to the countryside to observe the farmer's association's division of land, and watched the peasant's association's public trial of bully landlords.  I also watched the performances organized by the missionary officials, and the farmers sang and danced, as if they were in two worlds with Guangxin Mansion.

    In the past, he was a landlord, but now he can be a commoner.

    After visiting several prefectures and counties, Wu Bing returned to Nancheng Fucheng and began to write a diary-style novel called "The Story of the Great Fellowship".

 Text 226 [Expansion plan ahead of schedule]

    ,

    General Military Mansion.

    The courtyard where Xiong Wencan was received is now used to receive important guests, and a maid is hired to clean it.

    Today six scholars came, including Xiao Shixuan, who are all mathematics lovers.

    Since Xiao Shi was given the title of doctor of mathematics, and he was also paid according to the salary of the county magistrate, everyone knew that Zhao Han attached great importance to mathematics.  It is good at the top and effective at the bottom, and more and more people are learning mathematics.

    It's just that most of the scholars are still at the elementary school mathematics level.

    "Mr. Zhao!" The six scholars stood up in unison.

    Zhao Han smiled and raised his hand: "Sit down."

    After everyone sat down, they cast their gazes behind Zhao Han again, but it was Zhao Zhenfang who followed.

    There is a blackboard in the middle of the yard, and everyone sits on chairs around the blackboard.

    Zhao Han came to the blackboard and said, "You are all outstanding researchers in mathematics. I invite you to come today. The first thing is to establish a mathematics club. This math club is similar to the literature club. We usually exchange and discuss math problems. Everyone  A quarterly "Mathematics" publication will be published to publish the achievements you have made in the near future. This year, the General Military Office allocated twenty taels of silver for the establishment and development of the Mathematics Society."

    The six of them were very happy, they were all different types of scholars, and they did not expect to be so valued by Zhao Han.

    "The details of the Mathematics Society, you go down and discuss slowly," Zhao Han picked up the chalk made of chalk, "Today I will talk about two things, one is logarithm, and the other is analytic geometry."

    As a liberal arts student, Zhao Han had almost forgotten his advanced mathematics, and he had forgotten a lot of content in junior high school and high school.

    Analytical geometry should be learned in junior high school, and logarithm is the knowledge of the first grade of high school.  For these two things, Zhao Han only remembered the basics of the concepts, and had to rely on Xiao Shixuan and others to study them in depth.

    Zhao Han can't wait any longer, he must bring out the basic concepts, otherwise he will not be born in China until the Year of the Monkey.

    Because logarithms and analytic geometry are very important, and they are key mathematical tools for the development of astronomy, navigation, machinery, economy, military and other technologies.  In other words, it was the development of many fields such as astronomy, navigation, and machinery that forced the improvement of digital calculation methods, which gave birth to logarithm and analytic geometry in Europe.

    Without these two mathematical tools, the development of astronomy, navigation, and machinery will reach a bottleneck and it will be difficult to break through.

    Just this year, Descartes also came up with the concept of imaginary numbers.

    China was far behind at this time, but the appearance of Zhao Han narrowed the gap.  More than 90 years ago, the equal sign appeared in Europe, but it was not popularized until more than 40 years ago.  36 years ago, the greater than and less than symbols appeared in Europe; 6 years ago, the multiplication and division signs appeared in Europe; this year, Descartes used the root sign for the first time.

    At least, the mathematicians under Zhao Han used the root sign earlier than European mathematicians.

    Also in this year, Descartes founded analytic geometry!

    Zhao Han drew a cross coordinate system on the blackboard. The horizontal column marked the abbreviated symbol of "A", the vertical column marked the abbreviated symbol of "B", and the intersection point was marked as "0".

    Did you suddenly have an impression?

    This thing is analytic geometry, and it will be everywhere a few hundred years ago, but it is a novelty now.

    Following Zhao Han's strokes with chalk, the six scholars were both surprised and delighted, as if the door to a new world had been opened.

    The more Zhao Zhenfang listened, the more confused she became, as if what was written on the blackboard was a divine scripture.  She looked at the six people beside her, all of them paying attention, as if they all understood.

    Zhao Zhenfang felt that she was so weak, she had to study mathematics hard in the future.

    Because she felt that she was usually bored, she asked her brother for an errand to do something in the math club.  For example, helping to contact members, sorting out research successes, editing quarterly mathematics journals, etc.

    If she can't even understand other people's stuff, how can she edit the school journal?

    For one morning, Zhao Han only talked about the most basic things, mainly because he couldn't talk too deeply himself.  Throwing down the chalk, he said, "Everyone stay for dinner, I have business in the afternoon. Farewell!"

    "Congratulations to Mr. Zhao!"

    The six people stood up and bowed in unison, and then no one went to eat, and all took out their small books to read.

    "Did you understand?"

    "I understand everything, it's like enlightenment."

    "Especially the introduction of this variable is simply a stroke of genius, and many previous problems can be easily solved!"

    "Mr. Zhao is really a god!"

    ""

    The six sighed there, and then began to discuss.

    In fact, what they discussedAnd it must be more fierce every time!

    Both Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua panicked, fearing that Beijing would not be able to hold on.

    Really, this year's situation is too scary, most of China has suffered disasters.  The drought in Nanzhili and Zhejiang dealt the heaviest blow to Chongzhen, and its influence far exceeded that of Zhao Han's uprising in Jiangxi.

    The taxes of the Ming Dynasty are all supported by Nanzhili and Zhejiang!

    Zhao Han said: "Jianchang Prefecture was occupied by rebels, and Nanfeng County was stolen by religious bandits. I have ordered the army, officials and peasant associations to take action in advance."

    "It should be like this," Li Banghua said. "This year we must take all of Jianchang, Fuzhou, and Ruizhou. In this way, there will only be Nankang, Jiujiang, and Guangxin in Jiangxi. We will strive to occupy the whole of Jiangxi after the summer harvest next year."  territory."

    "I agree with this strategy." Pang Chunlai immediately agreed.

    Pang Chunlai is from Liaodong, and he knows how cruel the Tartars are.  North Korea's surrender made Pang Chunlai feel a sense of crisis, fearing that one day the Tartars would suddenly capture Beijing.

    At that time, if Chongzhen moved south and ruled with the Tartars, Jiangxi would become a thorn in the court's side.

    It is necessary to occupy Jiangxi as soon as possible, and then take Fujian, Guangdong and the southern part of Huguang, so that Chongzhen will definitely not dare to go to the south.

 Text 227【Luling County Middle School】

    The first batch of students who received compulsory education had already graduated.

    The older ones were fifteen or sixteen years old, and the younger ones were eleven or twelve years old. Among them, those with excellent grades were assigned to work as mathematics teachers in village and town primary schools.

    As long as you have good math scores, you can be a teacher at the age of eleven or twelve!

    A small number of students with excellent grades were recruited to Ji'an Prefecture for further study and could serve as middle school mathematics teachers.

    ?The current education reform can only be rolled out in the seven counties of Luling, Jishui, Anfu, Taihe, Xiajiang, Xingan, and Yongxin for the time being.  The main reason is that there are not enough math teachers. Before that, they were taught indiscriminately. Many rural schools did not offer math classes at all.

    This situation will be alleviated in another year or two, and qualified math teachers will inevitably emerge in batches.

    At least, it is enough to teach elementary school.

    In elementary school education in New China, many mathematics teachers teach students while self-studying.  Especially in rural areas, a ruined temple, a blackboard, a teacher, and a group of students are a school.

    Under such educational conditions, hundreds of millions of migrant workers who can write and count have been trained.

    The same is true under Zhao Han’s rule. It is said that it is three years of compulsory education (it was four years before, which is a bit too much), but in fact the teaching is messy.  Many old pedants teach students while learning by themselves.  After a few years, the quality of the students was not good, but they learned mathematics by themselves.

    Luling County School officially changed its name to Luling County Middle School.

    ?School was supposed to start in August (lunar calendar), but due to flood delays, many things were not ready, and it was delayed until the end of September.

    Zhao Han attended the opening ceremony in person, and the scene was not lively because there were very few teachers and students in the school.

    ?There are six towns in the county, and the mayor of the town presides over the graduation examination. The top ten can enter the county-level middle school for free.  There is only one middle school in the whole county, with a total of 60 public-funded students, and the rest of the students have to study at their own expense.

    Currently there are only the first grade of middle school, with 187 students and 8 teachers of each subject.

    It must be admitted that the study atmosphere in Jiangxi's major counties of imperial examinations is really strong.  In the first year of middle school enrollment, which is very new, there are 127 students at their own expense.  Some students at their own expense, even from ordinary peasant families, save money to send their children to middle school.

    There will definitely be more and more self-funded students in the future, and the second county middle school will be opened by then.  The address of the school has been selected in advance as Wuxing Town, which is one east and one west from the county seat, which can take care of the students in the whole county.

    "Welcome Mr. Zhao!"

    When Zhao Han appeared, the principal led all the teachers and students to bow.

    Zhao Han immediately bowed to return the salute, and said in a loud voice: "From now on, it will be changed to welcome, don't greet me. I don't need your respect, I only hope that you can be happy when you see me!"

    The principal immediately bowed again: "Welcome Mr. Zhao!"

    The principal's name is Zhang Chunqin, an old boy who was born in his fifties and has not been admitted as a scholar.  In order for him to study, the whole family was starving to death. After Zhao Han occupied Fucheng, the examinations in Luling County were interrupted, so Zhang Chunqin simply went to the village school to be a teacher.

    Zhang Chunqin knows traditional arithmetic, and he can learn mathematics quickly by himself. He is the only teacher in the whole village.

    In this year's graduation exam, four of the top ten in Wuxing Town are mountain children taught by Zhang Chunqin.  When Zhao Han learned of the situation, he immediately summoned him in person, encouraged him to continue his self-study, and appointed him as the first principal of Luling County Middle School.

    At this moment, Zhang Chunqin stood behind Zhao Han step by step, and looked at all the teachers and students with his head held high.

    This was the highlight moment of his life. Zhang Chunqin thought that he had no hope of being a scholar, but he never thought that one day he would be a county school teacher.  He didn't think that his ability was too weak, but that there was a problem with the previous imperial examination system. He was very active in supporting education reform, and determined that Zhao Han would definitely be emperor in the future.

    Some people think that Zhao Han's education is messing around, and naturally there are die-hard supporters like Zhang Chunqin.

    Zhao Han began to lecture: "Students, congratulations, you have become the first batch of students in Luling County Middle School. The imperial examination is excellent, but how to conduct the imperial examination and how to conduct culture and education is debatable. The Chongzhen Emperor in Beijing, and  All the lords of the imperial court felt that there was a problem with the selection of officials in the imperial examination. Therefore, they increased the military strategy in the provincial and general examinations, and restored the recommendation system in the early days of the country. They were all wrong!"

    "As you can see, there are famines in Shanxi, Shaanxi, Henan, Nanzhi, and Zhejiang this year. Even if Zhejiang is as rich as Zhejiang, people cannibalize people! Why is this? Not only natural disasters, but also human disasters. Many officials in Zhejiang have committed heinous crimes.  In the new year, they don't think about disaster relief, but they are still exploiting the people. The classics of Confucius and Mencius, benevolent government is the first, these officials, sages and sages have read the dog's belly!"

    "Officials elected by the imperial court can do things in one out of ten, and nine out of ten can only talk. The officials who talk about it often make the officials who do things fail to do things.?, you can use the carriages and horses of the post station, you can eat and drink for free at the post station, and you can also enslave the people to work for free.

    Then Xu Xiake started to mess around, often using horse cards to force villagers to carry sedan chairs.  Including the luggage, seven or eight bearers would be used, and once the young man ran away, he asked two women to carry the sedan chair for him.  The villagers still have to provide him with food and drink, and the food should not be too bad. In his own words, it is called "boiling eggs and offering milk", at least eggs must be eaten.

    This horse card can only be used in Guangxi. After entering Yunnan, Xu Xiake has to rely on himself.  Once he took off the quilt and hung up all his clothes, shoes and socks for sale, because he really had no money, so he finally sold a skirt.

    "Why did you come back, sir?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xu Xiake sighed and said: "Southern Hunan is in great chaos, and it is difficult to move an inch. The servants below are dead, all the money they have borrowed has been robbed, the money they borrowed has been robbed, and even the clothes have been sold, only this dilapidated one is left. No one can buy it. To tell the truth,  I I came back from begging all the way. Mr. Zhao’s rule is really rich, and it is difficult to beg for food in southern Hunan. You have to pick wild fruits and eat wild grass. After entering Jiangxi, there are many people who are willing to give alms.”

    Zhao Han held back his laughter and asked, "How can there be such chaos in southern Hunan?"

    Xu Xiake said: "Hengyang has been occupied by rebels. All the counties in Hengzhou are thieves, and there are Miao people in the southern prefecture who are in rebellion. I finally managed to raise some money, but I was robbed three times."

    Zhao Han immediately became serious: "Let's talk about it in detail."

    &lt;/div&gt

    ,

    Xu Xiake was invited into the General Army Mansion. While eating cakes, he said: "In the beginning, only the king of sweeping the land, Yubu, entered Liuyang and Chaling counties in Huguang from Jiangxi.  His name is Wang Hui, and he is brave and good at fighting. Therefore, the bandits who rushed into Liuyang did not cause any trouble."

    "I know that." Zhao Han is still very concerned about the border situation between the two provinces.

    Xu Xiake also said: "The county magistrate of Chaling came to office this spring, and everyone heard it. It is rumored that in order to buy an official, he borrowed thousands of taels of silver in Beijing debts (usury), and immediately exploited the people after he took office. When the remnant of the sweeping king arrived, the people of Chaling responded one after another.  , The county seat was captured in ten months. Then, You County was captured, with 20,000 bandits. The bandits from Yongning County escaped into Ling County (Yanling). After capturing the county seat, the bandits from Zunchaling dominated.  Hengshan, the latter attacked Anren, they all broke the city and grew stronger."

    "They can make a fuss." Zhao Han sighed.

    The bandits who were beaten up in Jiangxi escaped into southern Hunan and quickly occupied five counties.

    Xu Xiake went on to say: "After capturing Anren, the bandits from the South Route gathered tens of thousands of troops, crossed the gorge, and attacked Leiyang by surprise. The bandits from the North Route sent troops from Mount Heng, and the bandits from the South Route sent troops from Leiyang, and attacked Hengyang from the north to the south. The prefect of Hengzhou abandoned the city and fled.  , King Gui also fled away with his clan."

    Zhao Han asked: "What's the name of the thief leader?"

    Xu Xiake said: "The number one thief from the north is 'Ruyunlong', and the number one thief from the south is 'Little Overlord'. After the capture of Hengyang, the two of them shared the spoils unevenly, and they fought in Hengyang. The little overlord was defeated and returned to Leiyang.  , went south to capture Yongxing. The leaders under the command of Yunlong were also at odds, and there was a thief leader who stood on his own, named "Chu Overlord". The Chu Overlord led his troops to leave and captured Qiyang.  Dissatisfied with the first, he led his troops to attack Shaoyang, and called him 'Ma Wangye'."

    Good guy, this is endless internal strife, divided into four groups of rebels.

    "Has Shaoyang also been defeated?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xu Xiake shook his head: "The magistrate of Baoqing sticks to Shaoyang and orders the counties to recruit soldiers to fight against the thieves. There is a hero named Liao Sheng in the Liao family of the giant family in Longhui.  Everyone fled in a hurry and hid in the mountains to become bandits, and I was trapped in Shaoyang City at that time."

    "Then what about the thief's first entry into Yunlong?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xu Xiake said: "Liao Sheng led 5,000 troops straight to Hengyang, and Ruyunlong led 30,000 thieves to meet them. Liao Sheng was brave and defeated them in one battle, and Ruyunlong was defeated. When I left, Liao Sheng was besieging Hengyang City.  Entering the cloud dragon sticks to the city and dare not go out to fight."

    Good guy, this Liao Sheng is fierce enough.

    First, three thousand were fought against ten thousand, and then five thousand were fought against thirty thousand, all of which were won in one battle.

    Xu Xiake said: "Although Liao Sheng defeated the rebels twice, they also caused the rebels to flee in all directions. Now there are bandits everywhere in the mountains. As long as I go into the mountains, I will definitely be robbed, and I will be robbed even if I walk by water, so I have to go around to the south.  , intending to cross the mountains and go straight to Guangxi. Unexpectedly, there was chaos in the south, the Miao people (actually the Yao nationality) rebelled, and the little bully ravaged Jingnan, so I had to return to the north and flee all the way back to Jiangxi."

    "Who is this Liao Sheng?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xu Xiake said: "I only know that the Liao family is a giant family in Longhui, with fields connected to rice fields, and half the county is owned by it."

    "That's how powerful the place is." Zhao Han said.

    If Zhao Han had seriously studied the history of Nanming, he would definitely know about Liao Sheng.

    Historically, after the Qing soldiers captured Shaoyang, Liao Sheng dissipated all his wealth and set up an army. He even recruited tens of thousands of bravery from the village, and fought with Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo successively.  It wasn't until King Gui fled to Burma that Liao Sheng knew it would be difficult to regain his sight, so he disbanded the army and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion.

    When Zhao Han was chatting with Xu Xiake, Liao Sheng had already taken back Hengyang, and showed the head of the thief into Yunlongxiao.

    Moreover, Liao Sheng took the initiative to conquer the Overlord of Chu, and the Overlord of Chu fled to the south, defeating 60,000 rebels together.  Although they are all mobs, Liao Sheng's subordinates are also brave, and their strength has always been only a few thousand.

    Such a fierce person, but it is a pity that he came from a giant family, and he will probably be an enemy in the future, because Zhao Han is going to divide the land.

    Zhao Han donated a few taels of silver, arranged for Xu Xiake to rest, and immediately invited Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua to discuss matters.

    After hearing Zhao Han's story, Pang Chunlai said: "There is nothing to worry about this person. As long as you defeat him once, you will immediately go to his hometown to divide the land. He can't even recruit a villager."

    "Indeed." Zhao Han couldn't help laughing.

    The soldiers under Liao Sheng's command were willing to fight with him because they were afraid that the rebels would wreak havoc.

    And Zhao Han went to divide the land, and as long as he won one victory, he could use the land administration to divide and disintegrate the villagers, so that Liao Sheng had money and food but could not recruit troops to fight.

    Li Bang??What is this doing?  "The spy was even more puzzled.

    The people laughed and said: "The government is reducing taxes and providing disaster relief. The money and food are not enough, so I have to borrow from the people and return two cents of interest."

    "Aren't you afraid of the government's repudiation?" the spy asked confusedly.

    "The emperor will renege on his debts, but Mr. Zhao will not." The common people said.

    The spy was shocked: "The government you are talking about is Mr. Zhao?"

    The people laughed and said: "Apart from Mr. Zhao, which other government is there in Nanchang? Mr. Zhao is kind-hearted, and he doesn't want to see the people suffer. The disaster relief has run out of food. We people must help."

    The spy immediately went back to town and told his friends what happened.

    The next day, they continued to go south, and soon found the same situation. People everywhere offered to lend grain to the "government".

    However, there are very few gentry, especially grain merchants, who will not lend a grain of grain.

    ?Because of the severe drought in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, they took the opportunity to stock up and plan to ship them there next spring.  They don't sell it now because the price of food is still below the highest point. They let the people in the south of the Yangtze River starve to death, and the price of food will inevitably rise again next spring.

    Instead of lending grain to Zhao Han, the grain merchants went to the countryside to buy grain at a high price, so that they could earn a lot of money next year.

    Some people who were greedy for money did not lend grain to Zhao Han, and took the opportunity to sell the surplus grain to grain merchants at a high price.

    Of course, as long as Zhao Han does not come forward to attack, the grain merchants will not oppose Zhao Han.  Because Zhao Han has brought stability, especially this year's disaster relief, Jiangxi has kept its grain income, and they can buy more grain to transport to the southern provinces.

    Businessmen like social stability, and they really support Zhao Han.

    very strange phenomenon

 Text 229【Zhao Han wants to join hands with the emperor】

    ,

    Raozhou City.

    Fei Chun came here to inspect the situation, and by the way, he called the grain merchants in Jiujiang, Nanchang, and Nankang to give a lecture.

    These grain merchants are now headed by Li Fenglai. Although they are not the biggest business, everyone knows that Li Fenglai belongs to Zhao Han.

    Moreover, Nanchang Prefecture has successively divided the fields. As a son of a concubine, Li Fenglai succeeded in becoming self-reliant, attracting many sons of concubines, offshoots of the family and professional shopkeepers to follow suit.  They are all beneficiaries of the division of land and family, so they can only choose to support Zhao Han, and even help Zhao Han suppress their own family.

    "Greetings to Master Si Cai!" All the grain merchants clasped their hands together.

    "Sit down." Fei Chun's face was very ugly, or he hadn't seen it this year.

    The grain merchants sat down in panic, unavoidably guilty, for fear that Zhao Han and Fei Chun would turn against each other.

    Fei Chun was exhausted physically and mentally all day long, and he was not in the mood to make detours. He said straightforwardly: "Everyone knows what you are doing in private and what ideas you have, so I don't need to talk nonsense."

    The grain merchants were terrified.

    Li Fenglai argued: "Master Si Cai, we have not hoarded in Jiangxi, and even raised the purchase price of grain on our own initiative this year."

    Fei Chun sneered: "The chief town borrows grain with an annual interest rate of two cents. If you don't double the price of grain, can you buy grain from farmers?"

    The annual interest rate of two cents is very high, which is equivalent to Zhao Han borrowing 100 shi grains from the common people, and returning more than 240 shi grains after five years.  But this is a year of catastrophe, and the price of food has risen rapidly, and after five years, it will be more than doubled. In fact, it is not a loss in terms of money.

    Grain merchants in Jiangxi buy grain at double the price, and they can still make a lot of money by transporting it to the southern provinces.

    Because the price of a stone of rice has risen to two taels of silver in the various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, which is more than four times higher than last year.  When next year's harvest is not available, the price of rice will continue to rise!

    Another grain merchant surnamed Tu said: "Master Si Cai, but we have to do business."

    Fei Chun said: "I will directly convey the opinion of the general town. You can make money, but don't do it too much. Although the people in the south of the Yangtze River are under the rule of the imperial court, the general town of Zhao still can't bear to see them starve to death.  The food will be shipped over, and it will be enough for you to make money. How many people will starve to death if you sell the food next spring?"

    All the grain merchants looked at each other in blank dismay, this Zhao Han must have been too lenient.

    They are afraid of Zhao Han's force, and operate with absolute integrity in Jiangxi. They are nothing more than earning some money in other places. Zhao Han even cares about the affairs of the southern provinces?

    Everyone does this. The southern provinces, including Anhui in later generations, have not produced much grain since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, relying entirely on grain transport from Jiangxi and Huguang.  After this year's catastrophe, Huguang grain merchants are also hoarding, releasing goods bit by bit, and plan to sell grain again next spring.

    Li Fenglai said: "Si Cai, even if we sell grain honestly, the grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River will raise the price on the ground, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River will also not be able to afford grain."

    "Food prices will always be low." Fei Chun sneered.

    Grain merchants in Huguang and Jiangxi mainly wholesale grain to Jiangnan, and at most conduct a small amount of retail.  Grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River are the main force in retailing. They buy grain from Huguang and Jiangxi merchants, and they also release the goods little by little, waiting for next spring to make a fortune.

    Zhao Han can block the grain transportation channel and forcibly impose heavy taxes.  But these heavy taxes will definitely be passed on to the people in the south of the Yangtze River, resulting in higher food prices in the south of the Yangtze River.

    The land of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River has the most developed industry and commerce in the country. Zhao Han will use this to develop industry in the future.  If the room is left empty, what kind of a fart is it?  Therefore, Zhao Han cannot impose heavy taxes on grain exported.

    Zhao Han also cannot occupy Jiangnan in advance, otherwise it will bring two results:

    First, the finances of the Ming Dynasty completely collapsed, which led to Beijing being breached in advance, and the Tartars must also enter the customs in advance;

    Second, before the financial collapse of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court will attack Zhao Han frantically, and even leave the bandits behind to attack Zhao Han!

    Zhao Han needs time to develop, Nanzhili and Zhejiang must be kept, and at the same time he cannot occupy them.

    Damn it, a traitor actually broke his heart for the imperial court, for fear that Chongzhen would not be able to hold on.

    Li Fenglai asked again: "Even if I sell the grain to Jiangnan, what if the grain merchants in the south of the Yangtze River do not stock up and ship?"

    "Wait and wait, the town has already sent people to meet the emperor, and together with the imperial court to suppress grain prices in Nanzhi and Zhejiang!" Fei Chun said, "I remind you to act as soon as possible, otherwise you may be forced to sell grain at a lower price next spring.  It was not forced by Zongzhen Zhao, but by the court!"

    The grain merchants were all stunned. The rebels sent people to meet the emperor and work with the court to stabilize grain prices?

    Strange things happen every year, especially this year, and I have never seen such a rebel.

    &nb??, it’s really just disaster relief.  "

    Chongzhen sneered: "Say it!"

    Wang Tiaoding said: "Zhao Zongbing wants to occupy Zhejiang, it is like searching for something. You can send troops from Guangxin Mansion, how can there be officers and soldiers in Zhejiang that can resist? Take Zhejiang, and then use the navy to attack Nanzhi.  , the south of the Yangtze River is in his hands. Why would he bother to ask His Majesty to send the governor to Jiangnan for disaster relief?"

    Although these words are ugly, they are true, and they are also the most worrying thing for the court.

    Chongzhen asked: "What exactly does Zhao Yan intend to do?"

    "Disaster relief, saving the people." Wang Diaoding replied.

    The more Chongzhen listened, the more confused he became, and he didn't even hide his address: "He is a Jiangxi rebel, what does the Nanzhi and Zhejiang disasters have to do with him?"

    Wang Tiaoding touched his forehead to the ground, prostrated himself and said, "I dare not speak."

    "Say!" Chongzhen scolded.

    "Zhao Yan is a great man. He has the heart to annex the universe and the ambition to help the world," Wang Diaoding said. "This year Jiangxi also had a catastrophe. Under Zhao Han's rule, the officers and soldiers were united.  In the next year, floods and droughts raged, and the people suffered unspeakably. There were starvation riots in Raozhou and Duchang. Zhao Yan not only reduced taxes under his own rule, but also went to the government to help the people, and even ran out of money and food."

    Chongzhen sneered: "This invitation buys people's hearts!"

    Wang Tiaoding continued: "Your Majesty, several ministers have spoken bluntly, and Zhao Yan regards himself as an official. Although the hungry people in Nanzhi and Zhejiang are not under Zhao Yan's rule, they are also regarded by Zhao Yan as his own people. He is very kind to the people.  OK……"

    Chongzhen was not angry this time, but felt absurd and at the same time endlessly sad.

    What kind of emperor is he doing?

    Under the rule, the starving people could not be relieved, and they had to urge taxes frantically, so that a rebel was allowed to worry about people's livelihood.

    Chongzhen said expressionlessly: "I have heard many people talk about Zhao Yan, and they all stick to their own words. It is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. You should also evaluate this person."

    (Thanks to Mr. Penguin, another Silver Alliance. Also, ask for a monthly pass. ?

 Body 230 [Emperor and Empress]

    ,

    Wang Diaoding is young, he must not have lived enough, how dare he speak the truth?

    Immediately clasped his fists and said: "This Zhao Yan is an outstanding man, rare in this world. However, there are two disadvantages of his nature, one is circuitous, and the other is benevolence."

    Chongzhen asked strangely: "Is benevolence also harmful?"

    Wang Tiaoding explained: "This benevolence is the benevolence of a woman. Can your majesty know that Zhao Yan's army is flourishing, but he is still confined to half of Jiangxi?"

    Chongzhen was a little sullen, what does it mean to be confined to half of Jiangxi?  Is it too small to occupy half of Jiangxi?

    Chongzhen did not answer, Wang Tiaoding could only continue to say: "The officials and soldiers under his command are all eager to fight, and they want to expand their private land and get promoted. However, Zhao Yan's wife's benevolence, every time a large-scale army is sent out, it must be in the summer harvest and autumn harvest.  After that, the army will be stopped for at most two months. As he said, too many troops will make life difficult for the people. Is this not the benevolence of a woman? With his prestige and military strength, he could have swept Jiangxi two years ago."

    "The bastard's words, the imperial court has many generals, how can he take Jiangxi as soon as he says it!" Chongzhen was furious.

    Wang Diaoding quickly bowed his head, not daring to say any more.

    In fact, Chongzhen already believed this, and combined with the evaluations of Chen Yuding, Liu Tongsheng and others, he outlined a vivid image of a Zhao thief in his heart.

    In Chongzhen's mind, Zhao Han is the kind of Confucian student who believes in "benevolence and righteousness".  Because of his own experience, he hates the court and the big clan, but cares and loves the common people very much.  Therefore, Zhao Han forcibly distributed the rich family's land to ordinary people.  Even in the case of being able to occupy the whole of Jiangxi, because they were afraid of using too many troops and affecting the lives of the people, they only sent troops for one or two months each time, and they closed when they occupied a little territory.  Never to force the common people to pay more taxes in order to expand the territory.

    This is a traitor with ideals, morality, and responsibility, completely opposite to those like Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong.

    Seeing Wang Tiaoding kneeling on the ground, Chongzhen stopped his anger and asked: "This is the benevolence of a woman, so what is circuitous?"

    Wang Tiaoding said: "Zhao Yan is pedantic in doing things. He regards the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" as his standard, but those who break the law must be severely punished.  It can be said that the officials are honest and honest. Because they were drunk and insulted a good prostitute, they were sentenced to hang according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty".

    Chongzhen actually began to defend Zhao Han: "How can this be considered pedantic? If you are an official, you should abide by the rules!"

    Wang Diaoding said: "Your Majesty, those who do great things don't care about small things. They killed a clean and honest official for a good prostitute, causing many gentry to flee. This is really pedantic."

    Chongzhen said angrily: "You scholars just don't obey the rules, and the world is like this! You should be killed, you should be killed!"

    Zhao Han's image in Chongzhen's mind has added another "iron face and selflessness".

    Benevolent, righteous, caring for the people, stern and selfless, it would be great if this kind of person came to be an official for me, but it is a pity that he turned out to be a traitor.  It's all because the corrupt officials in Jiangxi forced a moral and well-behaved scholar to rebel!

    Chongzhen asked again: "Are there many scholars in Jiangxi who follow the thieves?"

    Wang Diaoding replied: "There are also children of rich families who follow the thieves, but most of them are poor scholars. Jiangxi's literary style is at its peak, and poor families study more. Such scholars have no hope of imperial examinations, no way to serve the country, and no livelihood.  Give them the land, so they flock to become thieves. Although Zhao Yan is pedantic, his servants are eclectic. Prostitutes, tortoises, and domestic slaves can all be officials. Rumor has it that the person who is in charge of money and food for him is  Born as a slave."

    "How well does this slave manage money and food?" Chongzhen asked curiously.

    Wang Tiaoding replied: "Because of his lowly status, this slave is very grateful to Zhao Yan and works hard for the official. He learns from Zhao Yan in everything he does.  They don't keep slaves, they only live on salary, and they pass countless money and food without taking a cent."

    "I am also diligent and frugal in government, why are all officials corrupt, and there are so many honest officials under Zhao Yan?" Chongzhen was very interested in this, and asked, "How does Zhao Yan rectify the administration of officials?"

    Wang Tiaoding replied: "Zhao Yan employs people regardless of their background. Even if you raise someone to be an official, you must start from a small official. If you have meritorious service, you must be rewarded, and if you have done it, you must be punished. Every year there are corrupt officials.  At least he will be assigned as a miner."

    Chongzhen frowned, making it even more incomprehensible. He must be rewarded for his meritorious deeds and punished for his demerits. Why are all the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty corrupt?

    Chongzhen really couldn't figure it out, he was diligent and frugal, and never made major construction projects, and the imperial palace was leaking, so he couldn't bear to spend money to repair it.  The emperors of the Ming Dynasty all took money from the treasury for private use, but he used money from his own private house to raise soldiers. When it comes to being selfless for the country, he is the first among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

    A good emperor like him, why is the country turned into such a situation?

    is old?He was appointed by Chongzhen as an official officer to Shizhong.

    Wang Diaoding was very speechless, this official position is useful.

    In the late Ming Dynasty, there were no more than two kinds of officials.  One is to accumulate reputation by trolling people, and the other is to attack political opponents by trolling people.  There are very few people who really offer advice and suggestions, and Chongzhen basically doesn't listen, which leads to fewer serious discussions.

    The initial role of the six departments in the matter is to be the lubricant and supervisor of the cabinet and the six departments.

    During the Jiajing period, the power of the internal and six courts was out of balance, and the status of the six divisions became extremely embarrassing.  During Zhang Juzheng's reform period, the power of the six departments rose sharply, and he has since become a running dog of the cabinet.

    Chongzhen repeatedly tossed the cabinet again, causing the cabinet, six departments, and six departments to completely lose their due functions, and nothing could be done except political struggle.

    Some ministers want to do things, but they can't do things in the court at all, because the three power agencies have become dysfunctional.

    What Chongzhen should really do is to adjust the cabinet, the six departments, and the six ministries, and redefine the scope of functions of the three major agencies, so that at least the court can operate a little more normally.

    ,

    While Zhao Han was issuing bonds, his expansion was also proceeding rapidly.

    ? A large number of reserve officials were turned into full-time employees, a large number of officials were promoted to officials, and the backbone of the peasant associations in each village was also transferred to follow the army to unoccupied territories.

    Nankang Mansion was taken down quickly, and the magistrate did not dare to resist, let alone report to the court, so he could only quietly flee back to his hometown and pretend to be dead.

    Some gentry planned to escape, but there was no escape.

    North of the Yangtze River, there are rogues everywhere, and they can only flee to Jiangnan and southern Shonan.  However, there was a catastrophe in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was chaos in southern Hunan. It would be better to stay in Zhao Han's territory, at least he could save his life!

    ? Jiujiang Prefecture, De'an County.

    The main clan of the Lou family lived in Guangxin Mansion for generations, and the one on the Jiujiang side belongs to the branch.

    When Zhao Han's forces entered Jiujiang, De'an County was the first to be occupied, and the gentry and landlords in De'an could only resign themselves to their fate.

    A small number of tandem troublemakers soon became the targets of public trials.

    Lou Shang hid at home and did not dare to go out. Although he had heard that the Luling Zhao thief wanted land but not money, and would not kill anyone as long as he did not resist, he still felt that the rebels were not credible.

    "Master, master, the rebels are at the door!"

    Lou Shang stood up in surprise, his legs softened, and he sat back again, and hurriedly said, "Help me up."

    He asked the family members to hide all the female relatives, but he still felt that it was inappropriate, and he asked the servants to bring the ashes of the pot, and all the pretty women's faces were blackened.

    Lou Shang opened the door with his children and grandchildren, and greeted the rebels with the land deed.

    He has already inquired, as long as he volunteers to offer the property, the rebels will issue a token.  The sign reads "The House of Benevolence and Righteousness", which can be hung at the door or stored away.

    The door of the house is wide open.

    When Lou went out to meet him, he saw a high-ranking rebel official coming with more than twenty rebels.

    "See you"

    Lou Shang didn't know how to address him, so he said in a hurry: "See you, sir!"

    "Fei Chun?"

    A servant exclaimed.

    Lou Shang's eldest son, Lou Wei, immediately scolded: "Shut up!"

    Lou Shang smiled apologetically: "The house slave is rude, sir, don't blame him."

    "It's okay," Fei Chun said with a smile, "Mr. Lou, let's go in and talk."

    "please!"

    Lou Shang turned to invite.

    When he came to the inner courtyard and entered the living room, Fei Chun said: "Everyone who is idle, please go out first."

    Soon, only Fei Chun, Lou Shang, and Lou Shang's two sons were left in the house.

    Fei Chun stood up and bowed, and said with a smile, "Hello Mrs. Lou."

    Lou Shang asked suspiciously: "Your Excellency recognizes the old man?"

    Fei Chun explained: "I have been here with the young master a few times, Mr. Lou often forgets things, so naturally I don't remember."

    "Who is your young master?" Lou Shang was even more confused.

    Fei Chun said, "Fei Ruhe."

    "He'er?" Fei Ruhe is Lou Shang's grandson.

    Fei Chun added: "General Zhao Er is Fei Ruhe."

    Lou Shang and his second son were shocked at first, and then overjoyed.  The fear of rebellion disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by the joy of prosperity.

    Lou Shang didn't dare to be negligent, and asked, "Dare to ask Mr. Mr.'s name."

    "Fei Chun," Fei Chun said, "is in charge of Jiangxi's money and food."

    It turned out that Lou Shang became more respectful than an ordinary domestic slave.

    Lou Wei asked: "Since they are all our own people, can the Lou family not divide the land?"

    Fei Chun presented a letter and said: "I was originally working in Raozhou. Madam sent a letter asking me to come to De'an. Madam's meaning is to ask the Lou family to actively cooperate and set an example.  Avoid anything unbearable from happening.”

    The second son, Lou Zhan, was very unhappy: "My nephew has become a general, why should the uncle's family divide the land? It's just absurd."

    Fei Chun sneered and said, "Your Excellency, you can try it."

    Lou Shang quickly read his daughter's letter, and immediately cupped his fists and said: "The Lou family will definitely cooperate with all their strength, and set an example for the gentlemen in De'an!"

    "That's good," Fei Chun stood up and cupped his fists, "Let me go."

    Lou Shang stayed behind and said: "Fei Sicai might as well have a light meal before leaving."

    "No, I have a lot of things to do, and I'm going to Nanchang soon." Fei Chun left as soon as he said that.

    Lou Shang hurriedly saw them off and sent them all the way to the gate.

    After closing the door and returning to the house, Lou Zhan asked, "Why is this so, father? He'er is the second general of Zhao, and the leading figure of the rebels. It's okay for the Lou family to keep more property."

    Lou Shangxi smiled and said, "Do you know who Mr. Zhao from Luling is?"You die and I die.  "The wife and concubine committed suicide by throwing themselves into Daming Lake, and more than a dozen maidservants in the family also threw the pot together.

    Such a person is willing to be a thief?

    Zhang Bingwen's hometown is in Tongcheng. He once studied under Fang Xuejian, and his academic components are very complicated. It is an innovative Neo-Confucianism that integrates Yangming's philosophy of mind and is also biased towards practical learning.

    To be honest, Zhang Bingwen appreciates everything Zhao Han has done except his attitude towards the gentry.

    Fang, Zhang, Zuo, Qian, Yao, the five surnames in Tongcheng, Zhang's ranked second.

    But this is the end of the matter, let's divide the land, anyway, Zhang's land is not owned by him alone.  Moreover, the Zhang family is still doing business, so even if the property is allotted, they can still make money by doing business.

    In the past few years, Zhang Xianzhong passed by Tongcheng twice, and officers and soldiers also went there twice.  Soldiers come and thieves go, thieves go and soldiers come, and the Zhang family in Tongcheng has been greatly harmed.

    Zhang Bingwen intends to assist Zhao Han and go back to his hometown as soon as possible, otherwise Jiangbei will be ruined.

    Recruiting servants, Zhang Bingwen said: "Go to Ji'an immediately and find all the books of primary and secondary schools."

    Zhang Bingwen didn't bother to start as a reserve official. He had to study elementary and middle school courses by himself, and then get the primary and middle school graduation certificates, and then went to Zhao Han himself to be an official.

    This gentleman has inquired about it a long time ago. He wants to follow the thief's mind. Obviously, he didn't just give birth for a day or two. He knows a lot about Zhao Han's rule.

    Outside Nanchang City, the officers and soldiers barracks.

    The local officers and soldiers in Jiangxi have fled back home one after another, and now there are more than 300 people left.  The ones who didn't escape were all guard soldiers who had nothing to worry about, and they were also enslaved by the chief when they fled back.

    In addition, there are more than 1,600 Guizhou Tengjia soldiers!

    The number of pacesetters for the governor of Guizhou is actually only 1,000 people. This quota was set in the 43rd year of Jiajing.

    However, since the governor can have pacesetters, there have been various excesses due to actual conditions.  For example, Weng Wanda fought against Mongolia. At one time, there were tens of thousands of soldiers. They trained first and then asked the court for instructions. Some governors simply didn't bother to ask for instructions.

    Zhu Xieyuan trained 2,000 pacesetters in Guizhou, which was a full 1,000 more than the quota. As long as he could win the battle, the court didn't bother to take care of it.

    These Guizhou Tengjia soldiers were left in Nanchang by Zhu Xieyuan, mainly to defend Nanchang Fucheng.

    However, after Xiong Wencan inspected Jiangxi, due to insufficient money and food, the treatment of Guizhou soldiers plummeted.  At this time, at least they could be fed. As soon as Xiong Wencan left, the Guizhou soldiers simply had a full meal and a hungry meal.

    If this continues, at most two or three months, more than a thousand Guizhou soldiers will definitely mutiny, or risk running outside the city to plunder.

    "Stopstop"

    The officers and soldiers guarding the barracks became weaker and weaker, retreating as they spoke.

    Huang Yao smiled and said: "The guard is dividing the fields, I will let you go home. From now on, there will be no military households, you can all be farmers, and no military officer will dare to bully you. After returning home, everyone will be able to share the fields."

    The officers and soldiers guarding the battalion were stunned, then knelt down and cried: "Bodhisattva bless the general with a long life!"

    Huang Yao said with a smile: "Go back to the camp and tell your comrades, let them come and get a bucket of rice, this is your severance pay."

    Several officers and soldiers in charge of the battalion ran immediately, shouting as they ran: "Everyone has come out to collect the rice. Once you have received the rice, you will go home and divide the fields!"

    Facing the collar rice and the land distribution, these officers and soldiers had no resistance, and instantly turned into Mr. Zhao's supporters.

    Not to mention that they are in the military camp outside the city, not to mention that their number is only more than 300, even if more than 3,000 people are standing on the tower at this moment, they will open the city gate and join the rebels enthusiastically.

    The surrounding areas of Nanchang Mansion are under control, and the Jiangxi government cannot collect taxes. Naturally, these soldiers will be hungry.

    More than 300 guard soldiers, each received a bag of rice, kowtowed to Huang Yao, and went home happily.

    Huang Yao continued to walk in, and Fei Chun followed behind with someone pushing the cart.

    More than 1,600 Guizhou soldiers had already put on rattan armor and formed a formation with weapons when they were receiving rice from the guards.

    These Guizhou soldiers used to be slaves of the chieftain, and it was Zhu Xieyuan who rescued them.  They don't recognize the imperial court and only obey Zhu Xieyuan's orders.

    They also didn't trust the Jiangxi rebels, thinking that Huang Yao was coming to kill them all.  I don't know the place of life well, this is Jiangxi, and there are more than 1,600 Guizhou soldiers, no one escaped, and they all formed formations to fight to the death.

    Looking at the Guizhou soldiers who were obviously starved and emaciated, but still daring to fight for their lives, Huang Yao's mood was extremely complicated.

    He fought bloody battles in Lion Mountain for several days, and the biggest casualty he suffered was caused by the surprise attack by these Guizhou soldiers.  He both hated and admired each other, and his emotions were very entangled.

    Fei Chun pointed to the small cart behind him and said, "Take the food to light the fire and cook. We will fill our stomachs first. Each person will receive five hundred copper coins, and those who are willing to continue serving as soldiers will come to receive them. From now on, you will be Mr. Zhao's soldiers."

    The Guizhou soldiers looked at each other and began to relax their vigilance.

    Huang Yao shouted: "The leader stands up!"

    A Guizhou soldier stepped forward.

    "What's your name?" Huang Yao asked.

    The man replied in Guizhou Mandarin: "It used to be called Chihei, but Master Zhu gave him the name Chihuchen."

    Chihei means "dog meat".

    The slaves plundered or bought by Yi chieftains are collectively called Chihei.  Gradually, Chihei even became a surname, and many descendants of slaves were named Chihei.

    The Chi Huchen in front of him didn't even know which race he belonged to.  They may be Han, Miao, Yi, or Zhong. Anyway, they were captured by chieftains when they were very young, and then recruited by Zhu Xieyuan as soldiers.

    "Zhu Xieyuan has died of illness. Would you like to work for Mr. Zhao in the future?" Huang Yao said, "As long as you are obedient, you will have sufficient rations and military pay on time. If you want to settle down, you will be given the land. If you have the ability, you can do it yourself  Go up and ask for a wife."

    Chi Huchen ran back to discuss with the officers and quickly made a decision.

    In fact, they had no other choice. Once Zhu Xieyuan died, he would be a child without father and mother.

    "Willing to give Zhao?, Is it my brother's son-in-law?  "

    Fei Yinghuan nodded and said: "This winter, my son-in-law will occupy the entire territory of Jiangxi, and next year will send troops to southern Hunan and Guangdong. I can't hide my identity, so I just left with a seal and came to meet an official before leaving Fujian."

    ?Zheng Zhilong's mind was turning back and forth a thousand times. If the Jiangxi bandit Zhao really occupied Guangdong and southern Hunan, wouldn't he be sitting on two and a half provinces?

    Fei Yinghuan added: "After my son-in-law captured Guangdong and southern Hunan, he will send troops to take Fujian."

    Zheng Zhilong's expression became serious. The Guangdong sea area is his territory, and the Fujian sea area is his core.  If the Jiangxi thief Zhao can really occupy Fujian and Guangdong, he will have to deal with them frequently in the future.

    "What can I teach you, brother?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

    Fei Yinghuan handed over a letter: "This is a personal letter from my son-in-law to an official."

    Zheng Zhilong is also literate. When he saw the first sentence, he couldn't help laughing.  He and Fei Yinghuan called him brother and brother, while Zhao Han called him "brother" in the letter, so I don't know what to say about this seniority.

    In his letter, Zhao Han said that the ocean is very important. After he took over the world, he planned to drive away the red barbarians in Luzon and Malacca (Malacca).  We have to go to Tianzhu. Zheng Zhilong can be the commander of the navy, and he can also be a prince at sea.

    Zhao Han directly asked Zheng Zhilong, Dinghaigong, Zhenhaigong, Jinghaigong, Kaihaigong Which of these titles does your brother prefer?

    This question made Zheng Zhilong's heart beat wildly, and his blood boiled suddenly.

    Although Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the imperial court to dominate the South China Sea, his official position was only "Guerrilla Defense".

    ?That night, Zheng Zhilong tossed and turned, got up in the middle of the night and wrote a letter, which Fei Yinghuan handed over to Zhao Han the next day.

 Text 233 [Lead Mountain Fei's]

    After Li Zheng led troops to occupy Raozhou City, the counties of Raozhou Prefecture had an order of dispatching troops.  First, go to Fuliang County first and occupy Jingdezhen; second, go to Dexing County and occupy Yinshan Town.

    The production of silver in Yinshan originated in the Northern and Southern Dynasties and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties.

    In the Tang and Song dynasties alone, more than 100 million taels of silver were mined, and it is known as "the first mountain of silver metallurgy in the Tang Dynasty".

    Mining continued in the Ming Dynasty, but in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it was reported that the silver mines had been exhausted.  What a ghost, the Qing Dynasty was still mining silver here!

    "Call!"

    Suddenly there was a copper whistle in the mountain, which was the warning from the search team.

    Moreover, the first whistle stopped abruptly, apparently a soldier of the search team was killed.

    "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

    ?The rest of the Soushan team blew their whistles, and Li Zheng immediately asked someone to sound the bugle, and quickly stopped the army in the valley.

    "kill!"

    Seeing that their whereabouts were exposed, the ambush soldiers in the mountains rushed out immediately.

    These ambush soldiers were all village warriors and miners recruited by powerful gentry in Dexing County.  There are not only miners who mine silver, but also miners who mine copper, tin, and iron. In addition to silver mines, Dexing County also has the largest open-pit copper mine in Asia!

    Under Li Zheng's command, there are only 1,000 regular soldiers, 2,000 peasant soldiers, and 4,000 transport teams.

    But those gentry are powerful and armed, but there are more than 20,000 people!

    There is absolutely no possibility of compromise between the two parties, especially the tyrants who occupy the silver and copper mines.  They colluded with eunuchs and civil officials, and even dared to fool the court.  They are well aware of the preciousness of copper and silver mines, and Zhao Han will definitely confiscate them. This is an endless situation.

    More than 20,000 ambushes rushed down from the mountains on both sides.

    ?Because it was discovered by the search team in advance and did not enter its scheduled ambush point, it took a lot of time to rush over.  Li Zheng had already formed his formation, and was waiting for the enemy to come and die.

    "Raise your bow!"

    "Raise the gun!"

    ? These ambush soldiers were completely out of order, and they ran away halfway through the charge. Coupled with the rugged terrain, they came running here and there in groups.

    In the early stage, there were missionaries and peasant associations who planned to go to Dexing County to promote Datong thought.  Things went smoothly near the county seat, but after entering the mining area, most of them were driven away, and a few were killed.

    The powerful gentry spread rumors everywhere, saying that the Zhao bandits in Luling wanted to kill all the people in Dexing, and then forcibly recruited farmers to fight against miners.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Bows and arrows and firecrackers were fired one after another, and the ambush soldiers who ran at the front were immediately frightened and fled in all directions.

    Another round of firing, more than 20,000 enemies, all collapsed.

    They were forcibly recruited, and they are not willing to fight for the gentry.  If the ambush is successful, there may still be enthusiasm. If the ambush fails, then run away. Only fools are willing to work hard for the few money.

    The mountains and plains were full of routs, and Li Zheng only captured a few hundred, so he ordered the pursuit to stop.

    Immediately after the interrogation, the soldiers divided into three groups, and went to find trouble with those powerful gentry.

    Li Zheng personally led the troops to a place, and this powerful man actually built an earthen building.  It's just that all the slaves ran to set up an ambush, and there were not many people in the tulou to defend.

    Li Zheng asked people to come forward and shout: "If you surrender, only the leader will be punished. If you resist, all will be killed! The slave brothers inside, after you surrender, you can share the land!"

    "Don't believe the nonsense of the rebels, the rebels are going to kill us all!" the Hao Qiang in the tulou shouted hastily.

    "Brother slaves, come out and divide the fields! According to Mr. Zhao's rules, each person can be divided into four acres of paddy fields. If there is not enough paddy fields, two acres of dry fields count as one mu of paddy fields, and each person can get eight acres of dry fields!  House slaves and peasants have already been allocated fields. The hard-working brothers in Fuliang County are already dividing fields. We passed by Leping County, and Leping County is also dividing fields. Mr. Zhao is a family slave, and he will not treat you badly!"

    "Don't go out, let me see who dares!"

    ""

    The people here may not know that Raozhou is dividing the land.

    However, Leping County is next door, and the news of Leping's land division has more or less spread.

    The domestic slaves guarding the tulou were skeptical, mainly because they did not dare to imagine such a good thing.

    But it is enough to be dubious. When Li Zheng ordered to attack the Tulou, most of the domestic slaves were unwilling to resist.

    "Mother thief, kill him!"

    It was the sons of this powerful family who led people to defend various parts of the Tulou.

    In one of them, a house slave opened the door secretly, and the powerful son immediately ordered to kill.  However, only a few confidantes took action, and the rest of the slaves backed away in fright.

    ? Datong rattan playersp; Fei Yuanzhen, head of the Fei clan, and Fei Yuanlu, head of Hanzhu Academy, are still alive.  It's just that Fei Yuan is so old that he has to be supported by a maid when he walks, and his ears are a little deaf.

    After everyone arrived, Fei Yuanzhen's teeth fell down, and he said with a breath of air: "The Zhao thief is coming soon. This thief is so fierce that even the officers and soldiers can't beat him. I, Fei, have no ability. For the present plan, we can only  You can donate the land and keep other properties. If anyone refuses to donate the land, I am afraid it will harm the entire Fei family."

    Some people agree, some people are not happy.

    Those who agree to donate their land are all with business names and factories at home.  Fei's family started out by doing business. On the whole, the income from commerce and industry far exceeds the output of land.

    ? Those who do not agree to donate land will mainly rely on land income.

    "Let me say a few words." Fei Yinghuan stood up.

    Those who disagreed with the land donation were overjoyed, because Fei Yinghuan was the most successful official in Fei's family.  They want to rely on Fei Yinghuan, take their floating wealth to prefectures and counties, buy property and land and become landlords again.

    The land property could no longer be sold, and no one would buy it no matter how low the price was, because everyone knew that Zhao Han was coming to divide the land.

    Fei Yinghuan said: "My first suggestion is that the Fei clan change the patriarch."

    what's the situation?

    Everyone was a little confused, but the patriarch Fei Yuanzhen was still stroking his beard and smiling, because he was hard of hearing and didn't know what Fei Yinghuan said.

    Fei Yinghuan approached and shouted: "The Luling Zhao thief is Zhao Han!"

    Others didn't know who Zhao Han was, but Fei Yuanlu was dumbfounded. He was too impressed by the "debate with pearls".

    Fei Yuanzhen finally heard the voice this time, and continued to stroke his beard and said, "Whether it's Zhao Han or Zhao Yan, they are all surnamed Zhao. I'm afraid they are the survivors of Zhao and Song Dynasties."

    Obviously, the patriarch had forgotten who Zhao Han was.

    Fei Yinghuan could only shout again: "Zhao Han, Hanzhu Debate, remove student status!"

    "Zhao Han Zhao" Fei Yuanzhen's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly remembered what he had instigated Fei Yuanyi to do.

    Without bringing it up in one breath, Fei Yuanzhen collapsed on the chair.

    "The patriarch fainted!"

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 234 [Zhao Han Can’t Die] (Adding Updates for Big Penguin)

    Except for a few insiders, the representatives of the other Fei clan branches couldn't figure out what happened.

    Fei Yuanzhen was carried back, and a doctor was urgently invited for treatment.

    The family meeting had to continue. After all, the patriarch didn't know if he would be able to wake up, and the Zhao thief's soldiers and horses could arrive at Qianshan at any time.

    Fei Yinghuan said: "Luling Zhao Yan, whose real name is Zhao Han, was originally a student of Hanzhu Academy."

    "Boom!"

    The audience was in an uproar, then rejoiced, and all turned their attention to Fei Yuanlu.

    Fei Yuanlu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although he was not Zhao Han's teacher, he was Zhao Han's principal. Strictly speaking, he was also considered a mentor.  At this moment, I don't know whether to be proud or blame myself, what is it to teach a big traitor?

    "Xueqing, since this Zhao Han is your student, can you ask him to discuss the division of land?" The person who spoke was Fei Yuanlu's elder.

    Fei Yuanlu sighed and said, "To be honest, this student has a grudge against me."

    Someone was very active and asked, "But the patriarch"

    "A few years ago, Zhao Han was removed from his student status as a student. Then he was framed by others, killed the master and the history, and then burned down the county government." Fei Yuanlu didn't know about the burning of the county government, and thought it was Fei Yuan  It's really killing people.

    This is ambiguous, but everyone present guessed that it must have something to do with the patriarch Fei Yuanzhen.

    Since Fei Yuanzhen and Zhao Han have such a big enmity, it is necessary to change the patriarch, otherwise the other party may deliberately target the entire Fei family.

    "I think Xueqing can be the patriarch."

    "I also think Brother Thirteen (ranking in the clan) is the patriarch."

    "The position of patriarch is for those who are virtuous. Uncle Thirteen has taught Hanzhu Academy for many years. Which of the children in the clan is not convinced?"

    "Not only this, the thirteenth brother is the eldest son of Duke Yao Nian (Fei Yaonian). With the legacy of Duke Yao Nian, the thirteenth brother should also be the patriarch."

    "I agree with this proposal."

    ""

    Fei Yuanlu waved his hand and said, "Dazhao is the patriarch's first choice, and Zhao Han is the adopted son brought back by Dazhao."

    Is the Jiangxi giant bandit the adopted son of the Fei family?

    These elders of the Fei family have been dizzy from the shock of various news.

    Fei Yinghuan waved his hand and said, "It's not the adopted son, but the son-in-law of the younger generation."

    The clan elders almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, what the hell is this?  Can you finish it all at once!

    "Dazhao is the leader of Fei Jiaying's generation. In my opinion, in this turbulent situation, an old man should not be the patriarch. We must choose a strong and powerful man for a year to take on this important task."

    "That's right, Dazhao is the patriarch's first choice."

    "I don't think so. Brother Nine (Fei Yuanyi) should be the patriarch. Mr. Zhao from Luling is Brother Nine's grandson-in-law, so he always wants to show some face."

    "Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Jiu is the best patriarch!"

    ""

    Fei Yuanyi was extremely embarrassed at the moment, coughed and said: "The marriage between my granddaughter and Zhao Han was not agreed by the old man at that time. There is a slight disagreement between the old man and his grandson-in-law, so I may not be able to be the patriarch."

    Everyone was silent for a moment.

    What is a slight discord?  I'm afraid there is a huge contradiction!

    They all know Fei Yuanyi very well, a cold-blooded person who wants to save face.  A few years ago, Zhao Han was said to be an adopted son, but he was actually a domestic slave. How could Fei Yuanyi agree to marry his granddaughter?

    Afraid to frame Zhao Han and force Zhao Han to set fire to the county government, Fei Yuanyi, an old guy, is also involved!

    Fei Yinghuan said: "The younger generation will go to Ji'an after the Chinese New Year, and has no energy to manage affairs in the clan. When Zhao Han was in Hanzhu Academy, he respected the mountain chief the most, so Uncle Thirteen must be the patriarch  .”

    Everyone straightened out the reasons, and at this moment they all said yes.

    Fei Yuanlu couldn't refuse, so he immediately cupped his hands and said, "In this critical situation, I have no choice but to do so."

    Another old man said, "Dazhao, since Zhao Han is your son-in-law, the Fei family's property should be preserved, right?"

    "cannot!"

    Fei Yinghuan shook his head and said: "This son has had his own opinions since he was a child, and he has set the rules, so he can't change them. The younger generation came back to Qianshan Mountain this time to clarify the matter. Zhao Han's government only divides the landlord's property, not the landlord's.  Houses, shops, and workshops will not be robbed of the gentry's floating wealth. Seniors, who are familiar with history books, should know that the method of rebellion is very kind. But kindness is kindness, whoever dares to stop the land distribution will surely kill people and ransack their homes! Of course  , only copy one family, not one family. It has nothing to do with me, Ehu Fei, which uncle's name is copied."

    The scene became quiet, and everyone was thinking about the pros and cons.

    Some people were still not reconciled and asked: "Da ZhaoWhen the expansion of troops swept across Jiangxi, the big families in all prefectures and counties were doing this.

    Adult children are sent to observe politics for internships. They don't get paid to help with things, but they just want to be converted to formal officials as soon as possible.  Underage children are sent to elementary and middle schools to study. Next year, a large number of students will definitely sign up, and some wealthy families even donate money to the government to run schools.

    Many of these aristocratic families are passed down from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and have experienced the rise and fall of many dynasties.  When they found that they couldn't keep the land and at the same time they couldn't fight against Zhao Han, they immediately chose to follow the rules and hitch a ride.

    There is a wealthy businessman in Jiujiang who directly donated 10,000 taels of silver to Zhao Han, and there is only one request: when adding a middle school next time, Jiujiang Fucheng must be given priority.

    After returning home, Fei Yuanlu called his grandson: "Zhao Han is Zhao Yan from Luling. You go to Ji'an Mansion immediately. Whatever he asks you to do, do it honestly!"

    Fei Ruyi ran back last year due to the catastrophe in the Jiangnan provinces.

    Although exotic clothes are not allowed in the family, his clothes are still very fancy.  Hearing this, Fei Ruyi suddenly became happy: "Haha, brother Han has rebelled, no wonder he has a high status when he was young. Don't worry, grandpa, grandson will go to Ji'an after the Chinese New Year."

    As for the immortal Fei Yuanyi, he had a sudden whim and called his son to whisper: "You said that Fei Chun handles money and food like a crane handles military affairs. Can you abolish Zhao Han's self-reliance?"

    Fei Yinghuan was dumbfounded: "Father, do you really think that the Fei family is living too well? Even if Zhao Han is killed, who can control his civil and martial arts? If it is found out that the Fei family ordered it, none of the Fei family's children will live.  Even the soldiers under Ruhe's command will kill Ruhe before killing the Fei family!"

    "This person has such prestige?" Fei Yuanyi asked in surprise.

    Fei Yinghuan said: "Once Zhao Han dies, all his soldiers will be born in poverty, and there will be no one who hates the rich. It will be crazy at that time, no one can control it, and the gentry in Jiangxi will be killed to the blood!"

    Fei Yuanyi was so frightened that he trembled all over, and he didn't dare to discuss this matter again.

    Just as Fei Yinghuan said, although the Jiangxi gentry hated Zhao Han, most of them hoped that Zhao Han would live a long life.

    The power of the peasant association is too terrifying. Recently, in some new land occupations, there are unscrupulous people who, under the banner of the peasant association, rushed into the houses of big households in groups.  Revenge for injustice, revenge for vengeance, direct robbery and plunder without vengeance.

    The senior officials of the General Military Mansion were extremely angry, and issued a death order to control the situation, and those who took the lead in making trouble must be severely punished.

    This kind of thing happened even if Zhao Han was not dead. If Zhao Han had an accident one day, how could anyone be able to stop it?  There is no need for the soldiers under his command to kill indiscriminately, and many people will settle accounts with the landlords!

    Zhao Han must not die, this is the consensus of Jiangxi gentry.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 235【Evil animal】

    ?Guangxin Mansion is a large mansion, and its prefecture is Shangrao County, and it also has six counties under its jurisdiction: Yushan, Yongfeng, Qianshan, Xing'an, Yiyang, and Guixi.

    The magistrate Xie Lijing did not sit in the prefectural city, but took the initiative to attack with Xiangyong.

    Along the way, the county magistrates and gentry were asked to recruit soldiers, but unfortunately, the brave men recruited during the day sneaked away at night.  After Xiangyong barely passed a thousand, the news of the rebels came, and in an instant, only a few hundred remained.

    The head of Yiyang City.

    Xie Lijing looked at the rebels outside the city, and at the few dozens of Xiangyong left around him.  He only has these dozens of township braves available, the Yamen servants in Yiyang County have all escaped, and the county magistrate probably slipped back to his hometown, and no one is willing to accompany the magistrate to guard the city.

    "Kaicheng surrender."

    Xie Lijing's choice was very miraculous. He asked several Xiangyongs to open the city gate, and led others to maintain law and order. At the same time, he took care of the county government's treasury and documents.

    When Xiao Zongxian led them into the city, he learned that the magistrate of Yiyang had escaped, and that the magistrate of Guangxin was in charge here, so he immediately came to visit: "Thank you, old man, for maintaining law and order and protecting the county government!"

    However, Xie Lijing said: "It's not like I don't know how to follow the thief for the reward of eating the king and being loyal to the king. You can kill me or tie me up. It's up to you."

    "I won't kill you or tie you up, you are a good official." Xiao Zong said.

    Xie Lijing responded with a sneer and stopped talking.

    Xiao Zongxian was a little embarrassed, so of course he took good care of him and went to deal with business.

    Three days later, Xiao Zong seemed to have received the news, and he knew that Xie Lijing had the will to die. In these three days, he did not drink a drop of water or eat a grain of rice.

    Xiao Zongxian hurried over, but seeing the other party's haggard appearance, he sighed and said, "Old Mister, why bother?"

    Xie Lijing didn't speak.

    Xiao Zong said angrily: "If you don't eat anymore, when I capture Fucheng, I will definitely kill you."

    Xie Lijing finally spoke out, his voice hoarse: "You won't."

    "I'm stubborn," Xiao Zongxian shouted, "Come here, forcefully feed me porridge. After you've fed me, cover your mouth, tie up your hands and feet, don't let him commit suicide, and send him back to Ji'an to the general town for disposal!"

    "Zhu Zier dare um"

    After starving for three days, Xie Lijing had no strength left. He was held down by two soldiers and his mouth was forcibly opened.

    He was force-fed cold porridge, some porridge sprayed from his mouth, some porridge choked out from his nostrils, and his face and neck were covered with porridge water and rice grains.

    Xiao Zong was too lazy to take care of it. Before the new year, he had to occupy the entire Guangxin Mansion. This was a death order issued by the Military Academy.

    Leaving a small amount of auxiliary grain transport troops stationed in Yiyang, Xiao Zongxian immediately divided his troops.  He led the main force to the east, all the way to occupy Xing'an and Shangrao (Guangxin Fucheng), and then divided his troops to occupy Yushan and Yongfeng.  Another division was sent to occupy the lead mountain.

    Xing'an County originally belonged to the boundary of Yiyang County. During the Jiajing period, it was established as a separate county because of its rich porcelain production.

    It is conceivable how popular the porcelain here is.

    The porcelain kilns here are collectively called Hengfeng Kiln. During the period of the Republic of China, the name of the county was simply changed, and the name of the kiln was directly called Hengfeng County.

    ?With Guangxin Mansion taken down, Zhao Han's financial revenue will rise to another level.

    Xing'an County is rich in porcelain, and the next Shangrao, Yushan, Yongfeng, and Qianshan counties all have prosperous paper industries.

    In terms of market size alone, in the mid-Ming Dynasty, the combined number of paper mills in Qianshan, Yongfeng, and Shangrao counties was only one-fifth of that in Yushan County.

    However, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, Qianshan County came from behind and had a tendency to overtake Yushan County.

    Why does this happen?

    ?Because civil servants and eunuchs were tossing about, a large number of parasites were raised, and the court could not collect taxes normally.

    Including the Fei family's paper mill, all of them belonged to "private troughs", and the government could handle them at will.  As for the official slot, in addition to the official paper mill established by the imperial court, other official slot licenses will also be issued.

    Only by bribing civil officials and making friends with eunuchs can merchants obtain official licenses. This kind of merchants is commonly known as "lantou".

    They have a papermaking license issued by the government, but they do not make paper themselves.  Instead, they accept orders from the imperial court and local governments, forcefully buy paper from private paper mills, and often credit and lower prices, hoard paper, and manipulate the market.

    ?The private paper mills in Shangrao and Yushan counties were the worst, with a large number of bankruptcies. Qianshan County is farther away, so it has developed a large number of paper industries.

    It's just that the tentacles of "leading the head" had extended to Qianshan by the end of Ming Dynasty, and the papermakers in Qianshan were also made miserable.

    Zhang Yinggao, the former magistrate of Guangxin, received strong support from the gentry of several counties because of the abolition of this phenomenon by Shangshu, and was able to recruit and train thousands of township braves.

    After Zhang Yinggao committed suicide in defeat, he "takes the lead"Yan Qi also chimed in and said, "The third brother is right. Brother Han is going to be the emperor. He has his own rules and regulations, and we should all follow his rules. Brother Han said that the big clan will be divided.  The family is distributing the property, and the father still wants to make Han brother's son?"

    Fei Yingke said to the staff of the peasant association: "Masters of the peasant association, please enter the house, and I will take you to count the property immediately."

    "Yes, yes, please come in, masters of the peasant association!" Fei Yingqi was also enthusiastic, and regarded the peasant association as the Buddha and Bodhisattva who saved them.

    If the family is not separated, although the family property is everyone's property, Fei Yinghuan has the final say on everything, and the two of them are just bastards raised.

    Fei Yingqi rolled his eyes, ran into the house suddenly, and shouted along the way: "Brother Han has become the king of Jiangxi, and he wants to divide the land for the slaves of the whole world. From now on, you are free, and you will no longer be slaves to others."  Come out and divide the fields!"

    Fei Yingke also rushed into his inner house and asked his wife to release the slaves as soon as possible. They are now very supportive of Zhao Han's policy.

    The members of the peasant association looked at each other in blank dismay. They already knew that this was the home of General Zhao Er and his wife's natal home.  It's just that this family is really hard to describe.

    "Evil animal, evil animal!"

    Fei Yuanyi beat and scolded on crutches, then knelt on the ground, crying loudly while chanting his ancestors.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 236 [Story of an old friend]

    Fei's family slaves rushed to tell each other, no matter the maids, mothers-in-law or young servants, they all put down their work and came to wait.

    They had heard the rumors a long time ago, but they still couldn't believe it.

    The third son Fei Yingke's house slaves had the most difficult life, and the mistress beat and scolded her frequently.  As long as they can survive away from here, it is absolutely impossible for them to stay, no matter how much wages are given in the future, they will never stay!

    But at this moment, Fei Yingke said to the slaves: "Your monthly money has been withheld by the fifth master, quickly follow me to arrest people!"

    "If you have grievances, revenge, if you have revenge, follow me to arrest people!" Fei Yingqi also shouted in his inner courtyard.

    The two brothers were in such a hurry to separate, because they were afraid that if time dragged on for a long time, extra problems would arise.

    They have a common enemy - the fifth master!

    It is Fei Yuanyi's confidant house slave "Lao Wu", who was born as a book boy and has been with the old man for decades.

    In the past few years, Fei Yinghuan and Lou's couple were not at home, and the second and third children were not welcomed by Fei Yuanyi.  As Fei Yuanyi became more and more confused, the house slave "Five" was simply domineering, and gradually took over many properties of the Fei family, stealing a lot of money secretly.

    The second child and the third child are gradually being ostracized. They are really slaves and bullies!

    The two brothers rushed into the old man's Gongbei garden with the domestic slaves in their respective courtyards, and beat the "old five" cronies when they saw them.  Not only is the "old five" domineering, but so are these dog-legged domestic slaves, who usually don't pay much attention to the brothers.

    "Fifth Master, where are you going?"

    Holding a stick in his hand, Fei Yingke looked at "Old Five" with a sneer.

    Lao Wu's sons have all become shopkeepers, and they are not around to protect them now.  Seeing that the situation is not good, this guy was going to run away, but was blocked by the two brothers, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "This old slave is confused, this old slave is confused, please forgive me, two masters!"

    Fei Yingqi stopped Fei Yingke who was about to hit someone, and reminded: "Third brother, don't beat anyone to death. Brother Han has posted notices everywhere that lynching is not allowed. Such people will be handed over to the government for trial.  Brother Han is in charge, he has to spit out all the money he has embezzled. The most important thing now is to send people to take over the various properties and keep those account books from being burned."

    "Yes, the masters of the peasant association are the masters, we must keep the account books and check slowly!" Fei Yingke nodded.

    The two brothers tied up the house slave "Old Five" and asked the peasant association to help take over the business.

    As for Fei Yuanyi who was still cursing, they didn't bother to pay attention.  An old fool who was deceived by his slaves, he doesn't believe in his son, he only believes in outsiders, he should die sooner!

    The old lady was still knocking on the wooden fish in the Buddhist hall. The disturbance outside had nothing to do with her, and she kept chanting scriptures.

    Even the mother-in-law who served her to recite the Buddha's name couldn't help stepping out of the Buddhist hall, lying at the gate of the courtyard and listening carefully to what was said outside.  Hearing that the land could be divided, the woman couldn't help but be overjoyed. She has two sons and a grandson, both of whom belong to the family slaves who can divide the land.

    The mother-in-law suddenly turned to the Buddhist hall and knelt down, and said very piously: "Amitabha, Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless Brother Han to live a long life, and bless the old woman's family to be able to share good land"

    Jing Xing Yuan.

    Fei Cheng (Qin Xin), Fei Ze (Jian Dan), Fei De (Jiu Po), and several domestic slaves who used to have a good relationship with Zhao Han, all gathered together to discuss the future.

    "After the field is divided equally, I will go to Brother Han," Fei De asked, "Which one of you would like to go?"

    Fei Ze said: "Fei Cheng and I are going too, who else is going?"

    "I'll go too!" said a house slave named Fermont.

    "Let's go, let's go together, Brother Han is righteous, and I will definitely remember the old relationship."

    "Yes, I will go too."

    "I won't go, I also want to help my wife run the paper trough (paper mill)."

    "I heard that Brother Chun has become a high-ranking official."

    "It's not too late to go for refuge now, we can both write and count, and our work is no worse than those who are officials."

    ""

    Suddenly an official came over, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Who are Fei Cheng, Fei Ze, and Fei De?"

    "I am!" The three stood up together.

    The official took out a letter and said: "This is a letter from the township!"

    The three of them took it apart and saw that it was Zhao Han who told them not to go to Ji'an Mansion, but to work as a reserve official in Guangxin Mansion to help with errands.

    As long as the work of dividing the land can be satisfactorily completed, they can immediately become official officials.  Among them, those who excel in the evaluation will be promoted next summer and transferred to southern Hunan and Guangdong with the army.

    Fei Ze immediately clasped his fists together: "We must try our best to do things!"

    "Farewell!" The officer clasped his fists and left.

    otherThe person who sent me to Jianchang, as you have seen, was Wei Jianxiong, the eldest follower of the Ehu Fei family.  "

    "I recognized it, and I will go to thank you tomorrow." Fei Yuanjian said.

    Mrs. Chen said: "My mother was also a lady of the official family when she was young. Wei Jianxiong was actually a servant of my family. After I was sent to the Jiaofang Division, he searched for several years and came to Qianshan. I refused to see him, so he worked in Ehu Lake.  This time he came back and pestered me again, but I didn’t promise him anything.”

    Fei Yuanjian was very surprised, he didn't expect such a story to exist.

    However, Chen is not his biological mother, and even the grace of nurturing is only two or three years.  Now he has lost sight of it, and sighed: "If mother is tempted, you can go to Ji'an Mansion with him to settle down, and the child will not stop."

    Fei Yuanjian still wanted to save face, he had started a family in Jianchang Mansion himself, and he didn't want the Chen family to remarry someone else here.

    Do not interfere.

    Moreover, it doesn't matter if Mrs. Chen is gone, Fei Yuanjian can be completely separated from his former self.  He pretended that he had never been to Qianshan Mountain, and when he was free, he moved his parents' tombs. From now on, he will be the first ancestor of the Jianchang Fei family.

    Chen Shi hesitated to speak, only sighed.

    Fei Yuanjian said with a smile: "Mother will leave after the Chinese New Year, so that the child can show some filial piety."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 237 [Longhushan, Zhang Tianshi] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Longhu Mountain, Shangqing Town.

    Fei Yinggong led five hundred soldiers to the Tianshi mansion to congratulate the new year.

    Zhang Yingjing, the 52nd generation celestial master, took many Taoist priests out to welcome guests.  If you don't welcome him, you can't do it. Fei Yinggong has been stationed for several days, and the peasant association has already begun to divide the fields outside the town.

    "General, please come in!" Zhang Yingjing saluted.

    Fei Yinggong ordered the soldiers to stand guard outside, and he went in alone.  After entering the door, he looked around and said with a chuckle, "This Heavenly Master's Mansion is well built!"

    Can you not be imposing?

    The emperors of the Ming Dynasty allocated funds for renovation three times, especially Emperor Jiajing, who crazily spent money to build the Tianshi Mansion.

    Zhang Yingjing's grandmother was the daughter of Emperor Jiajing's sister.  Zhang Yingjing's father's name was given by Emperor Wanli himself.

    In terms of seniority, Zhang Yingjing can be regarded as Chongzhen's cousin!

    In the Ming Dynasty, Tianshi Mansion had five halls, five halls in the east and west, and six halls in the east and west.

    Passing through the front hall, Fei Yinggong was invited to Zhang Tianshi's private residence, and entered one of the main halls to sit down and drink tea.

    Fei Yinggong sipped the tea without speaking, but looked at Zhang Yingjing with a smile.

    Zhang Yingjing was also unlucky, his father lived a long life and only became immortal last year.  Zhang Yingjing is quite old, and he has only been the heir to the position of celestial master for one year, and he encountered a traitor before his butt was hot.

    Historically, after more than two years, Chongzhen couldn't hold on, so he specially recruited his cousin Zhang Tianshi to come to Beijing to pray for rain.

    Zhang Yingjing's prayer for rain had no effect, but he did tricks to cure the prince's illness.  On the way back to Jiangxi, I watched the emergence of Qionghua in Yangzhou. Obviously, I didn't have a few years to live.

    Sitting next to him was a man named Zhang Hongren, the eldest son of Zhang Yingjing, who was 21 years old this year.

    The three of them sat together for a long time, no matter how advanced Zhang Yingjing was, he couldn't help but asked, "Can the general suspend the troops so that the farmers' association will stop dividing the fields?"

    Fei Yinggong smiled and asked, "What if I don't stop?"

    As the distant cousin of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Hongren asked: "Mr. Zhao, do you want the Tianshi Mansion to belong to you before you stop?"

    "Will the Master's Mansion be willing to join that day?" Fei Yinggong asked back.

    Zhang Hongren looked at his father, he didn't dare to make a decision himself.

    Zhang Yingjing sighed secretly, and didn't say whether he was a thief, but said: "I implore the general to stop. After the Chinese New Year, Pindao will definitely lead his disciples to Ji'an mansion."

    Fei Yinggong said: "Tianshi is willing to go to Ji'an Mansion, and Mr. Zhao welcomes it naturally. But the allocation of land cannot be stopped. Moreover, Taoist priests in Tianshi Mansion, Zhengyiguan, and Shangqingguan will all return to vulgarity if they do not have a certificate!"

    The father and son were startled, they were going to beat the Heavenly Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain.

    Even Zhang Tianshi of Longhushan can't raise Taoists casually, and the court is very strict.

    ?Except for Hongzhi, Jiajing, and Wanli, other emperors did not give much ultimatum. Every time Tianshi Mansion asked for a certain number of ultimatums, they would only give half of the price after bargaining, and sometimes not even a single ultimatum.

    Especially Emperor Longqing suppressed Tianshifu very badly.  Directly abolish Zhang Tianshi's title of Zhengyi Daoist, and change it to Shangqing Palace Tidian, downgrade from the second rank of Zheng (ranking first rank) to a minor official of the fifth rank, and the seals are changed from gold seals to copper seals.

    It's a pity that Emperor Longqing died early. After Emperor Wanli succeeded to the throne, he actually married his aunt to Zhang Tianshi.

    Chongzhen will not be used to Longhushan, Tianshifu, Zhengyiguan and Shangqingguan. The number of legal Taoist priests today is only two to three hundred.  The younger generation of Taoist priests are all illegal monks!

    Fei Yinggong smiled and cupped his hands: "Tianshi Zhang, please find out and dismiss all the Taoist priests who have no certificates. I really can't bear to use troops in the thousand-year-old Taoist court of Longhu Mountain."

    "Can't we wait until Pindao goes to Ji'an Mansion?" Zhang Yingjing asked.

    Fei Yinggong smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao said that if the fields are not divided and the Taoists are not cleaned up, there is no need for Zhang Tianshi to go to Ji'an Mansion."

    "well!"

    Zhang Yingjing finally couldn't help but let out a sigh.

    He is the cousin of Emperor Chongzhen, and he was not hacked by the rebels, so the rebels respect Longhushan.  What choice is there but to follow suit?  Is it possible to call Taoist priests to fight?

    Under the supervision of Fei Yinggong, Zhang Yingjing began to investigate Dushu and dismissed more than 2,400 Taoist priests at one time.

    It has been several days since these things were done.

    Fei Yinggong said again: "The domestic servants in Tianshi's mansion will also return their body contracts. Those who are willing to stay will sign short-term employment documents. Those who do not want to stay, I will take them away. Also, in the future, they will not be allowed to leave."  Abuse servants!"

    Zhang Yingjing said: "How can a person who cultivates Taoism do cruel things?"

    "That might be." Fei Yinggong sneered.

    openIf Zhao Han is destroyed, the Zhang family can get away; if Zhao Han seizes the world, the Zhang family can flourish.

    But this routine was only at the beginning, and was blocked by Zhao Han.

    What should I say next?

    Zhang Yingjing sorted out his words and said respectfully: "The town's benevolence and love for the people has won the hearts of the people of Jiangxi. Although the old Taoist practiced in the mountains, he has heard of the prestige of the town for a long time, and now he sees it.  instrument."

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Shangqing Town is not in the mountains, is it? It has convenient transportation and fertile land."

    Whoever is discussing with you where Shangqing Town is, the key point is whether the second half of the sentence is good!

    Zhang Yingjing completely understood at this time, Zhao Han didn't like this at all, he could only bow and say: "The general town wants to deal with the Tianshi Mansion, please ask for instructions, the old master will definitely obey."

    Zhao Han put away his smile: "From now on, the number of Taoist priests in Tianshi Mansion, Shangqing Temple, and Zhengyiguan will be based on the current number. It can be reduced but not increased, and people's land cannot be taken away.  Master's title!"

    Zhang Yingjing's face was ashamed, what about the huge Tianshi mansion, plus two Taoist temples, more than two hundred Taoist priests?

    Zhengyiguan is the ancestral home of Zhengyi!

    Zhao Han pointed to Zhang Hongren again: "Stay in Ji'an, learn more new things, and return to Longhu Mountain after you have learned "Mathematics" and "Geometry."

    Zhang Hongren was speechless, his mind went blank, and he had no idea what Zhao Han wanted to do.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 238【Dominate Jiangxi】

    Zhang Yingjing soon knew what Zhao Han was going to do.

    A few days later, Zhao Han directly held a Buddhist and Taoist conference. In addition to the Taoist priests of Tianshifu, there were also Qingyuan Temple, Donglin Temple, Xilin Temple, Xianren Cave, Xiandu Temple, Kongshan Temple and so on.

    Before Zhao Han himself showed up, a group of monks and priests stared blankly.

    The atmosphere is even more awkward when greeting each other, because the sects are too complicated.

    Qingyuan Temple is the ancestral court of Qingyuan Sect, Donglin Temple is the ancestral court of Pure Land Sect, the former is Zen Buddhism, and the latter is Pure Land Sect.

    Monks of Zen and Pure Land Buddhism may still be able to communicate in a friendly manner.  But the Tianshi Mansion and the Immortal Cave are really nothing to talk about. It is said that the Immortal Cave is the place where Lu Dongbin practiced, and Lu Dongbin is the patriarch of the Quanzhen School.

    The monks and Taoists waited for a long time, and Zhao Han finally came in, accompanied by a Taoist priest.

    "Daoist, please take the first seat." Zhao Han's attitude was very respectful.

    The Taoist declined and said: "Thank you for the kindness of the general town, Zhang Tianshi should be the first seat. If you are poor, you can sit with me."

    Zhao Han's attitude suddenly became tough again: "I said whoever takes the first place should be the first!"

    The Taoist was a little embarrassed, and bowed to Zhang Yingjing to apologize, but Zhang Yingjing could only give up the head seat on the Taoist side.

    At the same time, both monks and Taoists are guessing who this Taoist priest is.

    Zhao Han swept towards Zhang Yingjing: "What, you're not happy?"

    "Don't dare." Zhang Yingjing answered quickly.

    "Look for yourself!" Zhao Han smashed out a letter and landed in front of Zhang Yingjing.

    Zhang Yingjing picked it up to read, and suddenly trembled all over with fright, and now he didn't even want to lose face, and directly knelt on the ground and said: "President, please forgive me!"

    It was Fei Yinggong who took Zhang Yingjing and his son away, and asked people to continue to investigate Tianshi Mansion, Shangqing Palace and Zhengyiguan.  Soon someone reported that many Taoist priests hid in small temples in the mountains during Zhang's self-examination, so more than 1,300 Taoist priests were found in the mountains.

    As for the land property, not only the tens of thousands of acres around Shangqing Town, but also various hidden fields, there are nearly 20 acres of land in total!

    Zhang Yingjing and his son did not do evil in person, but many of the Taoist priests and house slaves in Tianshi Mansion can be called bullies.  There were more than 30 murder cases investigated in just one month, and the number of people who were forced to sell their sons and daughters was hard to count.

    Zhao Han sneered and said, "Father and son, you will stay in Ji'an Mansion for the time being. It will not be too late for you to go back when you find out the matter. From now on, the Zhang family can only be in charge of Tianshi Mansion, Shangqing Palace, Zhengyi Mansion, etc.  Wait for the temples under the Tianshi Mansion, the members of the Zhang family are not allowed to interfere in any affairs!"

    "Xiaodao obeys." Zhang Yingjing lay prone on the ground.

    Zhao Han pointed to the Taoist priest he brought and said: "Let me introduce to you, this is Taoist Liu Xianwei of Zaoge Mountain Chongzhen Temple."

    All the monks and Taoists immediately saluted, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

    There are many schools of Taoism, but they can be roughly divided into Zhengyi Taoism and Quanzhen Taoism.

    In the Ming Dynasty, Zhengyi was regarded as authentic by the imperial court, and Zhang's Zhengyiguan happened to be the ancestral home of Zhengyi.

    Zaoge Mountain belongs to the ancestral court of the Lingbao School, and is listed as the three major courts of the Zhengyi School together with Longhu Mountain and Maoshan Mountain.  Under the canonization of the imperial court, the real person of Longhu Mountain is the second rank, and the spiritual officials of Zaoge Mountain and Sanmao Mountain are both the eighth rank.

    Zhao Han was too lazy to discuss with these monks and Taoists, and directly announced: "Ji'an General Military Mansion, add a religious department. Appoint Chongzhenguan Liu Daochang as the director of Zhengyi; appoint Master Huiyin of Donglin Temple as the director of Shanshi. The rest  All temples and Taoist temples must be under the jurisdiction of the priest!"

    Although Zhang Yingjing was afraid in his heart, he couldn't help it: "General Town, the one who observes is the ancestral court."

    Zhao Han said with a gloomy expression, "As I said just now, the Zhang family will only be in charge of the Tianshi Mansion from now on, and the abbot who is watching will choose another Taoist Gao Xian to take over. Also, the Tianshi Mansion must donate 80,000 taels of silver.  To rebuild Chongzhen Temple and rebuild Ziyang Academy!"

    As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yingjing almost fainted.

    What's the point of letting his Zhang family be responsible for paying for the repair of Zaogeshan's house?

    Zaoge Mountain is right next to Zhangshu Town. If Zhangshu Town can become the capital of medicine in the south, the Taoist priests of Zaoge Mountain are the founders.  Ge Xuan and Ge Hong planted medicines and practiced medicine in Zaoge Mountain. Zaoge Mountain not only has many Taoist scriptures, but also many medical books. Taoists practice "medicine".

    It is a pity that during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, the Zaoge Mountain Taoist Temple was burned down.

    Taoist priest Liu Kaihua tried to restore it, but his financial resources were limited, so he only restored a small part.  The Liu Xianwei in front of him is Liu Kaihua's nephew. He took Taoist priests down the mountain to practice medicine all the year round, and all the money he earned was used to rebuild the Taoist temple.

    As for Ziyang Academy, that is, Zaoge Mountain Moral Palace, it was the place where Zhu Xi gave lectures.

    &nbAfter the drought, the southern provinces finally recovered.

    ?Specifically speaking, in Jiangxi, only Jiujiang and Nankang do not rain, and these two mansions happen to be next to the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake.

    According to Li Shiqian, the envoy, said: "Let me go back to my hometown too."

    Many officials made choices one after another, either follow the bandits or return to their hometowns, and they dared not go to Beijing.  The other Jiangxi officials were away and went to Beijing alone. What if the emperor was angry and wanted to kill someone?

    As if it had been agreed, the officials who were supposed to run had already left, and the Datong Army finally entered Nanchang Mansion a few days later.

    Huang Yao led his troops ashore, and the people along the way welcomed him.  Especially the merchants, domestic slaves and vagrants in the city have long been looking forward to this day, and they really don't want to live under the rule of Ming Dynasty.

    "Congratulations, General!"

    Zhu Zhichen led the officials out of the city to greet them, Xu Ying and Wang Tingshi were also mixed in the crowd.

    Huang Yao looked up at the city tower, feeling indescribably happy.

    When the army approached, Wang Ting shook his sleeves and walked over with his head held high. No matter how he said it, he was a hero.  In the past few months, he has been helping to connect and appease the various forces in Nanchang City.

    Xu Ying smiled and said nothing. He has a new mission, which is to go to Nanjing and develop an intelligence network in various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

    Zhang Bingwen did not show up at this time, and when he thoroughly understands analytic geometry, he will go to Ji'an Mansion to take an examination to become an official.

    In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, during the Lantern Festival, Zhao Han occupied the whole of Jiangxi.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 240 [Trans-provincial dispatch of troops] (addition for "Nuanyang 1314" of the Silver League)

    Last year in Jiangxi, floods and droughts took turns. If they were exploited by the government and gentry again, the word "hungry" would be left in the history books.

    Especially in the second year, it may be more "hungry" than in the disaster year.

    However, under the rule of Zhao Han, Jiangxi in the eleventh year of Chongzhen, except for a few areas in the north, had a bumper harvest of summer grain!

    All the people were jubilant and beaming.

    When mobilizing the army and food, Zhao Han threw Zhang Bingwen a piece of information: "Your brother-in-law (brother-in-law) has become the governor of Huguang."

    After Zhang Bingwen finished reading, he said with a smile: "It's okay, he doesn't care about Xiangnan."

    Today there are three governors in Huguang, and the governor of Huguang, Fang Kongzhang, is Zhang Bingwen's brother-in-law.  Dai Dongmin, the governor of Yunyang, specialized in conquest of bandits; Wang Zhiliang, the governor of southern Hunan, specialized in dealing with Zhao Han.

    Fang Kongxuan just took office. The former governor was Yu Yinggui, who is now in prison in Beijing.

    Yu Yinggui is from Jiangxi, and his relatives have joined Zhao Han.  However, he was questioned by the court not because his clansman was a traitor, but because he undermined Xiong Wencan's "general situation of recruiting and appeasement". He was impeached by Yang Sichang and was thrown into prison.

    These frontline governors all think Xiong Wencan is an idiot!

    For example, Dai Dongmin, governor of Yunyang, resolutely resisted the strategy of recruiting.  He believes that small groups of thieves can be appeased, but large groups of thieves must be suppressed by force, unless they are willing to dismiss the troops after they are appeased.  Dai Dongmin commanded dozens of battles, and Zhang Xianzhong was beaten so badly that he was forced to recruit security.

    "Who is this Wang Zhiliang?" Zhao Han asked.

    Wang Zhiliang, governor of southern Hunan, is Zhao Han's main enemy.

    Li Banghua thought about it carefully, and suddenly got a little impression: "When I was Minister of the Ministry of War, this person was a member of Zhongshu She in the cabinet. The emperor discussed affairs in the Wenhua Palace. I have seen this Wang Zhiliang several times. I heard that poetry is excellent.  I don't know if I can fight."

    "Shaanxi people know a little bit about military affairs." Zhang Bingwen added.

    Wang Zhiliang is not well-known in history, but his son Wang Hongzhuan is well-known, proficient in Neo-Confucianism, History, Yi Xue, poetry, gold and stone, painting, and calligraphy.  Wang Hongzhuan resolutely refused to be recruited by Kangxi, and hid in Huashan to live in seclusion. He was called "the leader of Guanzhong voice" by Gu Yanwu.

    Come and research, research and go, and there is no more information about this person, so just start fighting!

    In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, at the beginning of June.

    The Datong army set out in four groups.

    North Road:

    Gu Jianshan is the main general, leading the navy to cruise the Yangtze River.  Li Hui, as the deputy general, led the navy to cruise the Xinjiang River.  The main purpose is to guard against the invasion of officers and soldiers from South Zhili and Zhejiang.

    West Road (on):

    Huang Yao was the main general and attacked Liling from Pingxiang.  Li Zheng was the deputy general and attacked Liuyang from Wanzai.

    West Road (below):

    Zhang Tieniu was the main general, leading two thousand rattan armored soldiers, across the mountains and ridges to take Ling County.  Liu Zhu was the deputy general and attacked Chaling from Yongxin.

    South Road:

    Fei Ruhe was the main general and attacked Longchuan from Changning.  Jiang Dashan was the deputy general and attacked Heping from Dingnan.

    In fact, to invade Guangdong from Jiangxi, it is best to go south along the Meiling Ancient Road.  However, Shen Youlong, governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, had quelled the civil unrest in Guangxi and stationed troops in Nanxiong for defense, making it almost impossible to conquer by force

    Although Zhang Tieniu's marching route was the most difficult because he did not bring luggage or auxiliary soldiers, he set off early and arrived at the battlefield first.

    In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there were endless wars. Ling County, which had nearly 100,000 people, was killed by the Qing army to only more than 5,000 people. Therefore, many Hakka people moved here during the Kangxi and Yongzheng years.

    Although Ling County at this time belonged to Huguang, it was mostly from Jiangxi, and the local language was directly Jiangxi dialect.

    ? When Zhang Tieniu arrived at Xiayang Town outside the county, traveling day and night, the two thousand Tengjia soldiers had been hungry all day.  It's a pity that the surprise attack on the county seat failed. The bandits in the city saw the rattan armored soldiers from afar, and were so frightened that they quickly handed over the city gate to the officers and soldiers.

    They had no choice but to go back to Xiayang Town. Instead of robbing food, they divided up their troops to defend the town and the tail, and observed the surrounding situation with weapons in hand.

    More than a dozen missionary officers in the army are all wearing rattan armor.

    Seeing that the whole town has withered and the gates of every house are closed, the mission officer beat the gong and shouted along the street: "Old cousin from Ling County, we are the soldiers of Zhao Tianwang, specially here to kill the bandits in Ling County. Don't be afraid, everyone, if we rob  , It’s useless for you to close the door. Don’t want your food, don’t want your money, anyone who has a ladder will borrow it. The carpenter in the town is also invited, and we will pay for the carpenter to make the siege ladder!”

    After shouting like this for a quarter of an hour, the townspeople finally believed it.

    ?Because when other thieves came to Xiayang Town, they broke into the house violently, robbed food and money, and even robbed beautiful women.  But these rattan armored soldiers in front of them are very?.

    (Note: Chaling has been upgraded to a state, and I have been writing it wrong before. Thank you for your correction.)

    On the other side of Chaling, although Liu Zhu is the lieutenant general, his military strength far surpasses that of Zhang Tieniu.

    Liu Zhu has 2,000 regular soldiers, 2,000 peasant soldiers, and more than 6,000 grain transportation teams. There are also more than 900 missionary groups, dispatched officials, backbones of peasant associations, and medical soldiers.

    ?After entering the boundaries of Chaling County, mission groups, officials, and peasant associations immediately took action to preach policies in various villages and towns.  Not only the peasants responded enthusiastically, but even the gentry and landlords warmly received them. They were terribly harmed by bandits and bandits, and they didn't want to keep their land, as long as they could save their lives.

    A few days later, Liu Zhu led his troops to appear in the northern part of Chaling Prefecture, together with thousands of food transport teams, scared the rebels in the city out of their wits.

    Although most of the rebels are locals, a few of the bandit leaders escaped from Jiangxi.  They had already been overshadowed by the "Heavenly Soldiers". Liu Zhu's army was still ten miles away, so they packed up their belongings and abandoned the city to flee southeast.

    It is the direction of Ling County!

    Zhang Tieniu's 2,000 rattan armored soldiers collided with more than 5,000 fleeing bandits two miles north of Hukou Town.

    There is no need to array at all, and even the rattan armor is too lazy to put on.

    Zhang Tieniu asked his soldiers to wear rattan helmets, wield rattan cards and steel knives, and directly charged towards twice as many enemies.

    "Run! Zhao Tianwang knows spells, and he has recruited heavenly soldiers!"

    When the old thieves saw the Datong military flag, they turned around and ran away in fright.  They were really terrified, they had fled from the north, and met the enemy in the south for no reason, and they became more and more convinced that Zhao Tianwang really knew magic.

    Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu's road started very smoothly because they were fighting weak chickens.

    As long as Anren and Youxian are conquered again, the strategic goal of the first phase will be achieved.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 241 [Attacking the Heart is the Best]

    Changsha Fucheng.

    Yang Guanji, the county magistrate of Changsha, is supervising the construction of the Wengcheng.  Changsha used to have urns, but only four gates, and now several more.

    In the face of Jiangxi thieves, the city defense must be strengthened!

    "Ji Chang," the magistrate Wang Qisheng said, walking quickly, with a stern expression, "Jiangxi's bandit Zhao has already sent troops to attack Huguang. Liling fell, and Liuyang was besieged."

    Both Liling County and Liuyang County are under the jurisdiction of Changsha Prefecture, and they are the east gate of Changsha.

    Yang Guanji asked: "What is that Hunan governor doing?"

    "Raise money and food in Yuezhou and Changde, and call on the gentry to start a group training," Wang Qisheng said. "Governor Wang asked the Changsha gentry to also hold a group training. I will entrust this matter to Chief Ji. As for the supervision of the construction of the Wengcheng, I will leave it to other people to do it immediately."  Can."

    Yang Guanji sighed in his heart, cupped his fists and said: "Do your best."

    After handing over the affairs of the Wengcheng construction site, Yang Guanji immediately left the city and went to the countryside to connect with the gentry and wealthy families. To be honest, he really wanted to be a thief at the moment.

    Wang Qisheng, the prefect of Changsha, and Yang Guanji, the magistrate of Changsha County, are actually Jinshi of the same discipline.

    Yang Guanji grew up in a poor family. Whenever the family lacked food, his mother would take him to his grandfather's house to eat. He was discriminated against by his aunt and cousins ??since he was a child.  But he studied hard and passed the Jinshi examination at a young age, but unfortunately he had no money to bribe the officials of the official department.

    A dignified Jinshi, who was originally appointed as the magistrate of Rugao, was relegated to the governor of Guangxin Prefecture inexplicably when he first arrived in Rugao.

    He didn't offend anyone, and before he had time to speak or do anything, he was demoted from a seventh-rank magistrate to a ninth-rank magistrate.  There is only one possibility, the position of magistrate of Rugao County was bought by someone at a high price, and he, the official Jinshi, must give up his position.

    So far, he has been transferred several times, and he is still a seventh-rank magistrate, while his Jinshi of the same discipline is already a magistrate.

    The hard work is all done by Yang Guanji, but the credit goes to others.

    ? Yang Guanji went straight to Shaping Village to meet the gentleman Dow.  The locals call it "Tao Langu", which means that the Tao family has so much rice that it rots in the warehouse.  There are tens of thousands of servants raised by the family and tenants who farm for them.

    The family is attending a funeral, and the patriarch Tao Tianrong has just passed away.

    Yang Guanji went to express his condolences. He was poor and couldn't afford expensive gifts, so he simply went to the mourning hall to offer incense with empty hands.

    ? That night, he called the brothers Tao Bangxian and Tao Bangyong out of the mourning hall to discuss the organization of group training.

    Before he even opened his mouth, Tao Bangxian said: "The county lord, the Tao family has donated a thousand taels of silver for the construction of the urn city in Changsha. The imperial court has increased the allocation several times, and the Tao family has also allocated the heaviest. Is it possible that the Tao family will pay again?"

    "No, no," Yang Guanji was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty has a decree that the squires can organize regiment training, and they only need to report to the magistrate, and then they can recruit troops to suppress the bandits."

    Tao Bangyong immediately refused: "The Tao family can only read books, but they don't know how to fight."

    Yang Guanji persuaded: "The Jiangxi Zhao thief has captured Liling and surrounded Liuyang, and will soon reach Fucheng. This thief wants to divide the property of a large family, and the Tao family's tens of thousands of acres of land are in danger!"

    Tao Bangxian cupped his hands and said: "The county lord, please come back, the Tao family will not recruit soldiers to fight!"

    Tao Bangyong also got up and bowed. The two brothers stopped talking and went back to the mourning hall to watch for their father.

    "well!"

    Yang Guanji shook his head helplessly, had no choice but to give up, and went to find other big households the next day.

    The Tao brothers secretly discussed the matter of becoming a thief. They have eight sons and several daughters.  The two unmarried daughters can marry officials under Zhao thief's command.  The eight sons, as long as they are adults, can be sent to thief Zhao to become officials.

    As for the tens of thousands of acres of land in the family, they can be divided as long as they can save their lives.

    Why is it so crisp and neat?

    Because during the Wanli period alone, more than 20 peasant uprisings broke out in southern Shonan.  As long as the peasant army hit Changsha, they would definitely attack the Tao family.

    The entire Tao family, in the early years of Tianqi, the men were killed and only four grandparents and grandchildren remained.  After many wars, the Tao family's more than 100,000 mu of land is now only a few tens of thousands of mu.

    The Tao family has already been killed and is extremely sensitive to troubles.

    Today, the number of males in the family has multiplied to ten, and it is very likely that the family will be wiped out if they are massacred. A strong backer must be found.

    They sent people to Jiangxi last year to observe Zhao Han's policy towards the big clan.  The situation made them very happy. The Jiangxi thief Zhao actually only wanted the land, not to mention stealing money and killing people, even the grain in the warehouse.

    "Father, uncle," said Tao Aizhi, the eldest son of the eldest house, "since you have decided to join Mr. Zhao, why not take the opportunity to make great contributions?"

    Tao Bangxian asked: "How to make meritorious service?"

    Tao Aizhi said:Brother, I am your father.  Our family's field has not been divided, and there are more than 20 mu more.  There are paddy fields, dry fields, and mountains!  Don't fight for the government anymore, surrender quickly and be Mr. Zhao's soldier!  "

    Another tenant had tears streaming down his face, and cried, "Shitou, our family has a field, and our family also has a field! No need to farm for the landlord anymore, our family also has a field, go home and farm!"

    "Liangzi, I am your uncle. Your father left early, and you brothers have lived a hard life since childhood. Come home, your mother has divided the land, and you should divide the family and the land!"

    "Brother, I'm the younger sister. Women can also divide the land, so parents want you to go home quickly!"

    ""

    After shouting, all the defenders were silent, listening to what the city was saying.

    Wang Hui only felt cold all over, how could he fight like this?

    He looked at the soldiers around him. Except for the children of the rich family, all the others became agitated, and their faces were full of yearning.

    How is this still fighting?

    Just two or three more days of shouting, the rebels don't have to attack the city at all, and more than half of the defenders themselves will run away, and they may even open the door to offer the city directly.

    Wang Hui walked towards another section of the city wall, and said expressionlessly: "The county lord, I will borrow your head."

    The magistrate looked terrified, and before he had time to beg for mercy, he was hacked to death by Wang Hui.

    "Kaicheng!"

    Wang Hui held the head of the county magistrate and led Xiangyong out of the city to surrender. This battle is simply impossible to fight.

    Li Zheng came over with his troops and said with a smile: "You are the guard Wang Hui? It's good to lead troops. Follow me to fight from now on."

    "Willing to die for Mr. Zhao!" Wang Hui knelt on one knee.

    Wang Hui had only killed bandits from Jiangxi before, and had never had the blood of Datong soldiers on his hands.  Moreover, his subordinates are all soldiers from his hometown, so it is impossible to kill people randomly in his hometown.

    Apart from being born in a wealthy family, the land must be divided, so there is no other conflict with Zhao Han.

    Most of the Xiangyong under Wang Hui were sent home, leaving only 1,000 people as a food delivery team.  There is no official establishment for the time being, just temporarily recruited food and auxiliary soldiers.

    After a short rest, Li Zheng sent someone to report the victory to Huang Yao and discuss the next battle plan.

    At this moment, Huang Yao had already left Liling, captured Lukou Town (Zhuzhou), and blocked the main road of water and land transportation.

    When the news of the victory of the friendly army came, Huang Yao immediately ordered Li Zheng to go to harass Changsha.  And he himself led the troops to Xiangtan. As long as Xiangtan was captured, he could encircle Changsha with Li Zheng.

    While Li was waiting for the order, he suddenly caught a "spies".

    The "spies" knelt down and kowtowed: "General, please forgive me. This villain is a servant of the Shaping Tao family. My master has recruited thousands of soldiers. As long as the general arrives, he will surely fight back. If the general does not believe it, after arriving in Changsha, you can go to Shaping first."  Fentian, the fields there are all owned by Dow."

    Li Zheng was skeptical, and there are big landlords who take the initiative to ask for land?

    (Big Brother Penguin's Silver Alliance has been updated and will continue to be added in the future.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 242 [Wang Zhiliang]

    ,

    Wang Zhiliang, governor of southern Hunan, can definitely be called "knowing military affairs".

    When he received the appointment, he said to Chongzhen in this way: "Zhao thief, sitting on the bandits, confuses the hearts of the common people by dividing the land. The longer the time, the more powerful it becomes. And the soldiers of Huguang all go north to conquer  There are no soldiers in southern Hunan for bandits. Even if the squires are ordered to organize and train regiments of bravery, it will take a year to become a battle-ready army. By then, Zhao bandits will have swallowed the mansion and merged the county. Only by training a firearms battalion can an army be formed in a short period of time.  , Your Majesty, please bestow firecrackers, artillery, and gunpowder!"

    Chongzhen was very generous this time, and immediately ordered to allocate firearms to Wang Zhiliang.

    Then, Wang Zhiliang lost his temper.

    The cannons are all old objects, and I don’t know which generation of ancestors they belong to. They can be put into museums with their variegated verdigris.

    Three thousand guns were given, including the three-eyed guns from the early Ming Dynasty.  There are also relatively new types of bird guns, but if one out of ten is usable, it is considered a good fortune for the ancestors.

    As for gunpowder, it's not powder or granules, but fucking lumps!

    Is this for the firecrackers to smash the lumps of gunpowder first, and then use it to refill and launch?

    Before Wang Zhiliang left Beijing, he went to see Chongzhen again, and explained to the emperor the status of the arms he had received.

    Chongzhen was also very angry, and he was immediately investigated.

    It is still being investigated, but there is no need to investigate, because the gunpowder factory has been blown up.

    It was really not a trick of "fire dragon burning the warehouse", but improper storage of gunpowder, which caused a big explosion.

    Historically known as the "Anminchang Disaster": within more than ten miles of the capital, the earth's axis was shaken The city wall was shaken, and there was no end to the city in a radius of more than ten miles, and all the trees fell and stood withered.  Residents and pedestrians, pillows on each other, death is scorched According to investigations, more than 10,000 residents were killed and injured.

    The city walls collapsed, and there were no intact houses in a radius of more than ten miles, and the nearby weapon and equipment warehouses were all destroyed.

    Poor Chongzhen, who was short of money, had to take out five thousand taels of silver to comfort the dead and injured.

    Wang Zhiliang went to the post empty-handed, called officials from the Huguang Third Division, and arranged for the squires to organize and practice group bravery.

    The Huguang Third Division was equally helpless. They had been paying taxes to the imperial court and raising food and grass for the governor for several years in a row.  Huguang is one of the main theaters for the encirclement and suppression of rogue bandits, so there is no time to fight against the rebels in southern Hunan. How can we have the financial resources, material resources and manpower to deal with Zhao Han now?

    The officials of the third division directly pretended to be dead.

    Wang Zhiliang had no choice but to go out in person, at least to persuade the gentry from Yuezhou and Changde to cobble together more than 6,000 regiments of brave men.

    At this moment, the news came that Zhao thief sent troops to Huguang.

    Wang Zhiliang immediately led his troops and rushed to Changsha.

    Changsha must be defended, otherwise the entire Dongting Lake Plain will be exposed to Zhao's soldiers!

    "Mr. Yu Qing, you are finally here!" Wang Qisheng, the prefect of Changsha, was so moved that he almost knelt down on the spot.

    Wang Qisheng is also considered a capable minister, but his skill points are all in construction.  His political achievements all the way to promotion are all building dams, cities, and canals. Fighting bandits is really not his forte.

    After Wang Zhiliang inspected the city defense, he was very satisfied with the newly built urn city, and praised: "This can keep Changsha safe." He then asked, "I brought more than 6,000 regiments here. How many troops are there in Changsha?"

    "More than eight thousand regiments are brave." Wang Qisheng replied.

    Yang Guanji, the county magistrate, suddenly asked: "The late student has also read military books, should we divide the troops to garrison the high mountains outside the city, and form a corner with the defenders inside the city?"

    Wang Zhiliang replied: "If there are elite soldiers, it should be like this. But you and I have only a short time to prepare and train soldiers, so how can we divide them out of the city? Weak soldiers should not fight in the wild against a strong army. You should not divide your troops at will. You must use them all.  Yu Shoucheng. Since there is no shortage of soldiers in Changsha, I will send 3000 regiments back to guard Xiangyin bravely to prevent Zhao bandits from bypassing Changsha and advancing northward!"

    Under Wang Zhiliang's arrangement, Changsha's 11,000 defenders and Xiangyin's 3,000-odd defenders used two cities to block Zhao Han's advance to the Dongting Lake Plain.

    The Dongting Lake Plain is the core essence of Huguang. If it falls there, most of Huguang will be lost.

    The four Tao brothers, leading more than 4,000 troops, were also stationed in the city.

    "How did the governor come so quickly?" Tao Yunfeng, the third brother, said, "Now there are more than 10,000 defenders in the city. With more than 4,000 of us, can we really dedicate the city at a critical moment?"

    The second younger brother Tao Juanzhi was also worried: "That Governor Wang, it seems that he really knows how to fight. Once the governor came, the city defense was properly arranged, much better than us."

    The four brothers are all scholars. Recently, they have been reading military books crazily. Talking about military affairs on paper can already bluff people, but they can't even understand the most basic military routines.If you are hungry, you will also be in danger of being attacked from front and back.  "

    "What I mean is," Wan Sitong explained, "send an elite team to attack Xiangyin by day and night. As long as Xiangyin is occupied, Changsha will become an isolated city."

    Xiao Zongxian said: "You can send some spies to Xiangyin to inquire about the situation. If there are many soldiers in Xiangyin, ignore it; if there are few soldiers in Xiangyin, send elite soldiers to surprise them."

    Hu Dinggui said: "No matter how many he has, first divide the fields in the villages and towns around Changsha!"

    Li Zheng said with a smile: "The fields in Liuyang haven't been divided yet. How can there be so many people who come to Changsha to preside over the division of the fields?"

    "Then divide the troops to the south," Hu Dinggui said, "and we have to divide the troops in a big way, and send a team to help Huang Bingyuan attack Xiangtan. After defeating Xiangtan, Huang Bingyuan can lead the main force northward and attack Changsha together with us. At the same time  Well, the defenders of Changsha City, seeing our division of troops, will probably take the initiative to leave the city, and beat his mother outside the city then!"

    "That's a good idea." Xiao Zongxian expressed his support.

    Li Zheng glanced at everyone, nodded and said: "Since there is no objection, then divide the troops and pass under the city to see if the officers and soldiers in the city are fooled. It's best to be fooled. If you don't, then divide your troops and go south!"

    Sitting at the top of the city, Wang Zhiliang watched the Datong army split up and march south, and only sent an order: "Don't worry about him, just defend Changsha City."

    Xiangtan can be lost, but Changsha cannot be lost.

 Text 243 [Xiangtan Zhou Clan] (addition for "Nuanyang 1314" of the Baiyin League)

    Xiangtan, Zhou family, big family.

    Although it has not yet developed into "Zhouban County", let alone "marriage half of Huxiang" in the late Qing Dynasty.  But from Jiajing to Wanli years, Zhou Zhiping, Zhou Zhiji, Zhou Zhilong, Zhou Yu, Zhou Xu successively passed the Jinshi examinations, and produced a lot of candidates. The Zhou family frantically annexed land in Xiangtan!

    Unlike the Tao family in Changsha, the Zhou family in Xiangtan is thriving.

    During the Wanli period, there were many peasant uprisings, and the Zhou family took the initiative to recruit village braves every time.  After repelling the peasant army, he immediately took the opportunity to annex the land, which now covers more than 100,000 mu.

    Knowing that Jiangxi Zhao's bandits sent troops to Huguang, Juren Zhou Xing, who was studying at Yuelu Academy, immediately rushed back to Xiangtan to recruit soldiers.

    Historically, in two years, he will also be admitted to Jinshi.

    At the foot of the hidden mountain, Liao Jing, Liao Sheng's younger brother, came to secretly contact Zhou Xing.

    Both parties are from rich families, there is no possibility of compromise, and they must fight Zhao Han to the end.

    "Brother Jingyu, what is the form of Xiangtan?" Liao Jing asked.

    Zhou Xing replied: "Thousands of rebels have besieged the city for half a month. I just received news that the Zhao rebels have captured Liuyang and will definitely march towards Changsha. If Xiangtan is lost, Changsha is in danger! Where is Hengyang?"

    "Except for Hengyang, Hengshan, and Leiyang, the eastern and southern counties are all occupied by Zhao bandits." Liao Jing replied.

    ?After a long battle, Liao Sheng has tens of thousands of regiments under his command, and has recovered Hengyang, Hengshan, and Leiyang one after another.

    The bandits in You County and Anren were the worst, with Zhao Han's army to the east and Liao Sheng's regiment to the west.

    This place can't stay anymore!

    Therefore, as soon as Liu Zhu sent troops from Chaling, the bandits in You County abandoned the city and fled.  When passing through Anren, the Anren bandits also fled, and the two gangs merged and ran to Yongxing County to join Xiaobawang.

    Xiaobawang heard about the situation in the north and felt unable to defend, so he abandoned the city and went to Chenzhou further south.

    They failed to attack Chenzhou, so they could only walk around the city, looting villages and towns along the way, preparing to flee from Yizhang to the border of Guangdong.

    If one ignores the fleeing bandits and the rebelling Yao people, there are now two major battlefields in southern Shonen.

    In the north, Huang Yao surrounded Xiangtan and Li Zheng surrounded Changsha. The strategic goal was to capture Changsha.  The commander-in-chief of the officers and soldiers is Wang Zhiliang, the governor of southern Hunan.

    In the south, Liu Zhu, Chen Bing, Leijiabu, Zhang Tieniu, Chen Bing, Yongxing County.  While letting the missionary officers and farmers' associations divide the land, they confronted Liao Sheng's regiment from a distance. The strategic goal was to capture Hengyang.

    Liao Jing said: "Brother is going to attack Lukou, kill the bandits there, and cut off the Zhao bandits' food road!"

    After hearing the situation in the south, Zhou Xing said in surprise: "Brother, if you lead your troops to the north, will you not be afraid that Leiyang and Hengshan will be captured by Zhao bandits?"

    "It is enough to keep three thousand soldiers in each of the two cities," Liao Jing said, "the bandits in Xiangtan must be driven away, so that Changsha, Xiangtan, Hengshan, Hengyang, and Leiyang can form a line."

    Zhou Xing asked: "How should I cooperate?"

    Liao Jing replied: "My brother suggested that the Zhou family's regiment practice, go to Xiangtan to contain the main force of the bandits, and delay the time for the bandits to return to Lukou. After my brother takes Lukou, he can practice with the Zhou family's regiment, as well as the defenders in Xiangtan city.  , Attack the rebels on three sides. The rebels are surrounded by groups, without food and grass supplies, the army will inevitably be in chaos, and they can win in one battle!"

    "Good strategy!" Zhou Xing exclaimed.

    It is indeed a good strategy, the premise is to win the fight.

    Liao Sheng beat those thieves who escaped from Jiangxi, winning consecutive battles. At this time, his prestige was soaring, and he was a little too confident.  He felt that the Jiangxi thieves were nothing more than that, they left thousands of people to guard the city, stopped Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu, and even led their elite troops northward to attack Huang Yao.

    He wants one to fight three!

    Just from a strategic point of view, this approach is very smart and reasonable.  If the combat effectiveness of the two sides is similar, Liao Sheng will definitely succeed, and there is a high probability that Huang Yao's main force will be wiped out.

    It has to be said that Huang Yao rushed in underestimating the enemy, and did not pay attention to the enemy of Hengshan at all, which exposed his grain path to Liao Sheng's soldiers.

    This belongs to Huang Yao's military style, dispatching troops quickly and marching extremely fast.

    Li Zheng is just the opposite. He is cautious, considerate, and likes to discuss with his generals.  If he switched with Huang Yao, it is estimated that Huang Yao has already won Changsha, and there is no time for Wang Zhiliang to reinforce him.

    Three days later, Zhou Xing and Tuan Yong cautiously approached Xiangtan County.

    He didn't dare to get too close, for fear of the collapse of the whole army, he just wanted to attract Huang Yao's attention and create time for Liao Sheng to cut off the enemy's food road.

    "It's finally here!" Huang Yao said with a smile.

    Huang Yao had besieged the city for half a month, never thinking about attacking the city, and was waiting for the reinforcements from the officers and soldiers.  As long as the reinforcements are defeated, the morale of the defenders in the city will inevitably be low, and there will be various methods at that time.It's gone.  "Fei Ruhui walked over and said.

    The bandits under Fei Yinggong's command were all broken up and incorporated into the army, only his daughter Fei Ruhui stayed by his side.

    Fei Ruhui insisted on joining the army to fight, and obtained Zhao Han's permission.

    "How many people are here?" Fei Yinggong asked.

    Fei Ruhui said: "Thousands of them. The grain and grass go by water, and the soldiers go by the river. Watching them march, they seem to be elite."

    "I fight the elite!"

    Fei Yinggong stood up slowly, stretched his waist, yawned and said, "If we don't fight any more, our bones will almost be crisp."

    In Fei Yinggong's hands, there were only 500 regular soldiers and 500 peasant soldiers, and the rest belonged to the grain transportation team.

    After Liao Sheng exposed his whereabouts, he did not return to Hengshan, but slowed down the marching speed so that the soldiers under his command would not be so tired.

    He has more than 10,000 regiments of bravery, and he has not trained much, but he has fought for more than a year.

    This time, the 5,000 regiments of bravery who brought to cut off the grain road were all "elite" veterans who had experienced many battles.  At least, he himself thinks he is an elite who can beat the bandits from Jiangxi to the ground.

    So what about Zhao Tianwang?

    It's not that he hasn't fought the Jiangxi rebels before!

    Liao Sheng felt that the imperial examination was hopeless. In this troubled world, he wanted to rely on his military exploits to seal his wife and son, and at the same time keep his family's property.

    The next morning, Liao Sheng brought five thousand elites to Lukou to attack Fei Yinggong.

    He even trained 300 archers under his command.

 Text 244 [Limited elites]

    ,

    It would be embarrassing if the sneak attack failed, because Liao Sheng had to cross the river.

    Either go to the west bank of the Xiangjiang River and go further downstream to cross the Xiangjiang River.  Either go to the east bank of the Xiangjiang River and cross the Lushui River on the opposite bank of Lukou Town.

    There is a bridge in Lukou Town, built in the Song Dynasty, with a total length of more than 150 meters. It is a wooden pier and wooden beam structure, and it needs to be repaired every few years.  If you don't take this bridge, the entire Lushui River will only have the Lujiang Bridge on the Liling side, which is also a Song Dynasty bridge with wooden piers and wooden beams.

    Liao Sheng did not have a dedicated navy, and his ships were only used to transport luggage.

    Zhao Han's navy can't come from Jiangxi, and the ships can only be used to transport baggage—of course, they can make a big circle from the Yangtze River, and then follow the Xiangjiang River to this side.

    It was too difficult to cross the Xiangjiang River, so Liao Sheng could only choose to cross the bridge at Lushui.

    Landing on the south bank of Lushui, Liao Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, the rebels finally did not set fire to the bridge.

    Camped across the river and did not move that day.

    Liao Sheng asked his younger brother Liao Kun to lead 1,500 elites with good water skills to smuggle upstream at night.  At that time, the main force will forcefully cross the bridge, and the surprise soldiers will attack from the east at the same time, and the two sides will be able to win in one battle.

    Fei Yinggong didn't respond, as if he didn't know how to guard against enemy smuggling.

    When the news of his younger brother's successful smuggling came, Liao Sheng sneered in the camp: "The thief general who guards the food road is so incompetent, this battle is bound to be won!"

    There are two reasons for Fei Yinggong not moving:

    First, although he can now command a thousand regular soldiers, Huang Yao took away five hundred to besiege the city.  He only has 500 regular soldiers and 500 peasant soldiers, which is too weak after division;

    Second, if the enemy is not allowed to cross the river, how can he wipe it out?

    At noon the next day, the 1,500 regiment brave who had successfully smuggled in were led by Liao Kun to kill after recovering from a rest.

    At the same time, Liao Sheng forcibly crossed the bridge in advance to restrain the bandits and cooperate with his clan brothers to reach the battlefield smoothly.

    With shieldmen and spearmen at the front and three hundred archers at the back, only a few hundred troops can be invested at one time, and the bridge will not be able to stand if there are too many people.

    They were not in a hurry to attack, so they shot at the opposite bank from the bridge, and waited for the smuggling friendly troops to arrive before attacking from both sides.

    "Father, the enemy from the east is here, and more than a thousand people have been smuggled away." Fei Ruhui said.

    Fei Yinggong turned his head and took a look: "No hurry, just wait."

    The five hundred soldiers guarding the bridge were holding up rattan shields to defend against bows and arrows.  When the 1,500 regiments on the side approached bravely, Fei Yinggong suddenly exclaimed: "Quick retreat!"

    Taking advantage of the gap between the archers' shooting, the soldiers guarding the bridge turned around and fled, as if they were afraid of being attacked from both sides, and they were directly frightened.

    Very poor acting!

    However, Tuan Yong, who was attacking on the bridge, believed it, and Tuan Yong, who sneaked over and double-teamed, also believed it.

    Since they formed an army, they have been fighting bandits for a long time.  Those thieves also fight in the same way, once they are ambushed or double-teamed, they will be defeated.

    Liao Sheng on the other side of the river said anxiously: "Ming Jin, Ming Jin, gather across the river, don't chase after me!"

    "Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

    The gong rang frantically, but it was too late.

    Tuanyong who crossed the bridge, and Tuanyong who smuggled across the bridge, saw that the Datong army was fleeing, and immediately got hot-headed and swarmed to kill them.

    Obviously, these regiments are brave and elite, and there is no way to stop them.

    After Liao Sheng crossed the river, his troops had split into two groups.  One is chasing and killing the Datong Army, and the other is very obedient and gathers on the shore.  In desperation, while leading his troops to chase, he blew the trumpet to stop the troops in front.

    This is a commercial town. There are so many people that it is impossible to line up. They can only advance along the bluestone streets.

    There are two streets in the shape of "⊥".

    One extends horizontally along the river, and the other extends vertically along the shop.

    Tuan Yong, who was the first to cross the bridge, got into the vertical street to pursue.  The 1,500 regiments who stowed away bravely pursued them from the small road outside the town.  All dragged into a long snake array, to be precise, dragged into two long snakes.

    They are completely chasing crazy, just like chasing bandits before.

    "Call!"

    The sharp and ear-piercing copper whistle sounded, and the 500 soldiers who escaped from the main street suddenly stopped to gather in formation.

    This kind of operation, in the entire Ming Dynasty, only a few troops can do it.  Most of the officers, soldiers, village heroes, and bandits, even if they had made arrangements in advance, were defeated when they fled, and the feigned defeat directly turned into a rout.

    If the regiment warriors couldn't do it, they thought that the Datong Army couldn't do it either. They firmly believed that the Datong Army was really fleeing.

    "Under Heaven!"

    "Farm and eat!"

    ?The 500 soldiers who had quickly completed their formation suddenly shouted in unison, scaring Tuan Yongxin, who was chasing at the front.sp;He lost his own elite, what's the use of returning to Leiyang, Hengshan, and Hengyang?  Even if they go back, they may not be able to command, because they are other people's soldiers, and there are conflicts among the squires.

    Forget it, forget it, stop fighting.

    Liao Sheng waited by the river for two days, and more than two hundred regiments fled back one after another.  These were all his subordinate soldiers, and there were only three hundred left, so they simply found a ferry to cross the river and fled all the way back to his hometown in Longhui, robbing landlords to raise rations along the way.

    Hearing that Liao Sheng's main force was completely annihilated, the three cities of Hengyang, Hengshan, and Leiyang on the southern line were suddenly overwhelmed, and soldiers deserted every day.

    Zhang Tieniu took the opportunity to surround Leiyang, and Liu Zhu took the opportunity to surround Hengshan.

    Hengyang, between the two cities, was about to become an isolated city, and the prefect was so frightened that he ran away.  The county magistrate is kind, he stepped forward when he was in danger, and opened the treasury to recruit soldiers on the spot.

    However, the Hengyang garrison recruited less and less.

    The magistrate recruited one, and seven or eight escaped that night.

    Hengyang is a big commercial city. There are many wealthy merchants here, and almost every wealthy merchant has countless servants.

    There was a slave named Zhang Feng. After he made a fortune, he asked scholars to change his name to Zhang Wenyu.

    He had never been to Jiangxi, but he got a copy of "Datong Collection" from Jiangxi merchants, and began to inquire about the situation of domestic slaves in Jiangxi.

    In the latest edition of "Datong Collection", there is an article called "Release the Slaves", which classifies tenants, long-term workers, domestic servants, and military households as slaves.  It is believed that only by freeing slaves can the world be truly unified, and these slaves should also be treated equally.

    Seeing that there were only two or three hundred defenders left in Hengyang, Zhang Wenyu immediately started connecting with them, and half of the domestic slaves in Hengyang City were instigated.

    ? Judging from the slave rebellion at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the intensity of the domestic slave rebellion was far lower than that of the peasant rebellion.

    In most cases, domestic slaves just beat their masters, forcing them to hand over the contract of sale, or forcing their masters to improve their treatment. Only a very small number of them will kill their masters.  The reason is very simple. All the slave change movements are led by the slaves. These slaves also have family businesses, and they don't want to make it too big.

    The two cities of Hengshan and Leiyang have not yet been conquered, but Hengyang in the middle has changed its flag.

    Zhang Wenyu led countless domestic slaves, drove away the Hengyang defenders, and erected an autonomous Datong army flag.

    ,

    Li Zheng's troops going south have arrived in Xiangtan.

    Huang Yao frowned and asked, "What's the use of having more soldiers in the terrain like Xiangtan? Why don't you stay in Changsha?"

    Xiao Zongxian replied: "Changsha has tens of thousands of defenders, and the city is high and deep. It is impossible to attack by force. After dividing the troops, we may be able to lure the enemy out of the city and wipe them out in the wild. As for Xiangtan, a sudden increase in troops may scare the city into surrender.  .”

    "Even if you don't come, Xiangtan is about to surrender." Huang Yao laughed.

    The Xiangjiang River flows through this place, forming a "ji" bay, and Xiangtan City is within the bay.  The city wall is surrounded by water on three sides, and can only be attacked from one side. No amount of soldiers is of any use, and only a few can be arranged for each attack.

    Huang Yao sat down across the moat and asked the archers to shoot books into the city.

    Residents outside the city either entered the city or fled, and did not dare to stay in a place where war was a disaster.  According to the confessions of these residents, the county magistrate of Xiangtan had died of illness for two months, and the affairs of the county were represented by Li Youlong, the county magistrate.

    In Huang Yao's view, how long can a county magistrate be able to hold down soldiers?  Sooner or later you will have to surrender!

    Li Youlong was standing at the top of the city at this moment, looking at the rebels outside the city from a distance, he really couldn't hold back anymore.

    This guy is from Xunyang, Shaanxi, and later followed Zuo Menggeng to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.

    Not only surrendered, but also suppressed and disintegrated many anti-Qing troops during his tenure as governor.  In the end, because of "suppressing bandits" in Tianjin, there were too many anti-Qing troops, so he could only entertain those leaders, hoping to recruit them all.  As a result, he was impeached for colluding with Nanming, and was dismissed by the Qing court.

    After this guy was dismissed from office, he was still reluctant to leave Beijing, hoping to be employed again.  He has been living in Beijing for seven years, and was impeached by Yu Shi Wang Bingqian, saying that since he was dismissed from office, he should leave.  The Qing Dynasty ordered him to return home within a time limit, and he died of illness soon after returning home.

    Just a dog.

    Will it drop or not?

    Li Youlong wanted to surrender, but he was afraid that his clan would be liquidated by the court after being a thief.

    He regretted so much that he spent money to buy a county magistrate, but he encountered rebels attacking the city without making much money.

    "There are reinforcements!"

    A regiment of gentry pointed to the distance and shouted happily, but the guards were not interested.

    The ambush arranged by Huang Yao was about to be dispatched, but the new regiment training troops were actually holding a Datong army flag high.

    "The world is in harmony, the world is in harmony!"

    Yuan Yingkui was dressed in silk clothes, and he looked like a rich man, but at this moment, Tuan Yong shouted the slogan of Datong.

    The ancestor of the Yuan family in Xiangtan was Yuan Hong, the founding hero of the Ming Dynasty.

    During the reign of Hongzhi, a descendant of Yuan Hong was transferred to the hereditary commander of Chalingwei.  This branch was further divided into three, the main sect inherited the Chaling Wei generals, the other moved to Chaling as landlords, and the third moved to Xiangtan as landlords.

    They are not big landlords, only a few thousand acres of land.

    After Huang Yao surrounded Xiangtan, Yuan Yingkui immediately recruited his disciples, and then observed the direction of the wind and stood still.

    Seeing the collapse of the Zhou family training, Yuan Yingkui finally moved.  He didn't come to help the government defend the city, but brought more than a thousand village braves, and wanted to join the Datong Army to gain wealth.

    Seeing the Datong military flag on the other side, Huang Yao couldn't laugh or cry.

    He ordered Xiangyong to stay on the other side, and only sent a small boat to fetch Yuan Yingkui.

    "Grassman Yuan Yingkui, meet the general!" Yuan Yingkui knelt down and shouted.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Huang Yao laughed loudly and said, "Please get up quickly!"

    The defenders in the city became even more frightened when they saw that the reinforcements from the rebels had arrived, and the gentry led the villagers to join the rebels.

    Seeing this situation, Li Youlong, the acting magistrate, also made up his mind to follow the thief and think about how to bypass the gentry and offer the city.

    Li Youlong had no soldiers under his command, and the guarding troops were all recruited by local gentry.

    In Xiangtan City, Ningxiang Lane.

    Xiangtan was unremarkable in the early Ming Dynasty, even the city walls were made of wood.

    In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, Huguang was greatly developed, and the national commerce became more and more prosperous.  As a water and land hub, Xiangtan quickly became the most important port city in southern Hunan, and its economic status even surpassed that of Changsha.

    Therefore, Xiangtan in the late Ming Dynasty was jokingly called "Little Nanjing".  And Ningxiang Lane, where wealthy merchants live in Xiangtan, is also known as "Wiaoyi Lane".

    Representatives of the major families in Ningxiang Lane gathered at Xie's mansion at this moment.

    "The business travel between the north and the south is cut off, so we can't fight any more," Xie Li said, "No matter who wins or loses, we must resume business as soon as possible!"

    Tan Qiulin said: "Now it seems that the officers and soldiers will definitely not win. We can only rely on Jiangxi thieves."

    "Don't talk about Jiangxi thieves."Wang Dai first took Huang Yao to Ningxiang Lane to maintain the law and order in the rich area.  Then he called various merchants as guides, and led Huang Yao's troops to various places in the city to suppress the riots.

    As for Wang Dai himself, he followed Huang Yao to occupy the county government.

    Everything was done in an orderly manner, and Huang Yao and the missionaries did not spend much effort.

    Until dawn, Huang Yao praised: "You are very talented, follow me to do things first. After the war, I recommend you to Ji'an, the general town must like you. Do you have fame?"

    "Juren." Wang Dai replied.

    "Very good, very good." Although Huang Yao is uneducated, he especially admires educated people, provided that the other party does not harm the common people.

    Wang Dai offered a plan and said: "Changsha and Xiangtan are both large commercial cities. To besiege Changsha, you can shoot the inside of the book city. If you explain the truth clearly, the merchants in the city will be willing to respond internally."

    "Why?" Huang Yao asked.

    Wang Dai explained: "The longer our army besieged Changsha, the greater the losses for merchants."

    Huang Yao shook his head and said: "Changsha's garrison is tens of thousands, merchants can't make waves. But this strategy is also available, a few more shouldn't be a bad thing."

    The two didn't talk about Changsha, Huang Yao began to ask about the situation in Xiangtan.

    While talking, a messenger suddenly came to report: "Huang Bingyuan, our army has captured Changsha!"

    "What?"

    Huang Yao and Wang Dai were both shocked, thinking that they had heard it wrong.

    How can it be so easy to take down Changsha Fortified City?

 Text 246 [Wonderful Night Attack] (adding updates to the "Nuanyang 1314" of the Baiyin League)

    ,

    In the south of the late Ming Dynasty, there were really no decent battles to fight.

    The city is in disrepair, and the military equipment is slack. If Zhao Han really encounters a stubble, Chongzhen can wake up with a smile from his dreams.

    This can be seen from the city walls of various places in southern Shonan.

    Many are new!

    Take Changsha Prefecture as an example, including Changsha City, there are eleven counties and one prefecture.  Of these twelve cities, seven of them did not have proper city walls in the last years of Zhengde.

    For such an important commercial city as Xiangtan, wooden city walls were still used in the early years of Wanli.

    But in the last year of Wanli, all the prefectures and counties in Changsha Prefecture had all the masonry walls repaired.  The fundamental motivation of the local officials to build the city was to prevent peasant uprisings that occurred one after another in southern Hunan during the Wanli period.

    When a group of untrained peasants came to kill them, they could beat the officers and soldiers to flee.

    Local officials were unable to resist, so they could only build cities and defend them, allowing the peasant army to wreak havoc on villages and towns.  When the commotion became serious, the imperial court sent troops to encircle and suppress it, and the suppression lasted for several years.

    This is the normal state of war in the South, and it is impossible for Zhao Han to encounter decent resistance.

    Just when Li Zheng was besieging Changsha, the Xia clan in Xiangyin, Ningxiang, and Yiyang joined forces to recruit troops.

    The Xia family originally lived in Yiyang, and migrated to Ningxiang during the Northern Song Dynasty.  During the Yongle period, one branch of the Xia family in Jiangxi migrated to Xiangyin, and matched the genealogy with the Xia family in Huguang.

    There are three branches of the Xia family, all of which are located next door to Changsha.

    Although their reaction was slow, the battle was very big. A total of more than 7,000 village braves were recruited to come to support Changsha.

    Li Zheng sent spies to Xiangyin a long time ago, mainly to investigate the enemy's situation in Xiangyin and see if he could send a small number of troops to steal the city.

    ?As a result, the direction of Xiangyin was detected, and thousands of regiments bravely marched towards Changsha.

    Li Zheng was so happy that he wanted to besiege the city and fight for aid!

    Not many soldiers were dispatched. Hu Dinggui and Chen Fugui each led 500 regular soldiers, set out at night to circle north, and lay in ambush in Matan Mountain, 40 miles away from Changsha City.

    The Xia family's regiment training troop walked very slowly. Hu Dinggui and Chen Fugui rested in Matan Mountain for two full days, and those guys finally arrived late.

    The spies sneaked back into the mountains and said: "More than ten miles to the north, those regiments camped bravely by the river. I don't know what kind of river it is, but it's a small river anyway."

    Hu Dinggui asked: "The south bank or the north bank?"

    "The south bank," said the spies, "the enemy army started to cross the river in the morning, and they brought all their luggage over in the afternoon. They were probably tired and hungry, and they didn't want to continue their journey, so they camped directly by the river. The camp was in a mess, so it was cut down.  Some bamboos were used as fences. There are not many tents in operation, most of the enemy soldiers sleep in the open air, and they burn grass everywhere in the camp to smoke mosquitoes.”

    Is this motherfucker here for an armed outing?

    It takes more than 7,000 people to cross a small river, and it takes a whole day.

    Moreover, he also crossed the river to set up camp, which was so considerate that Hu Dinggui didn't have to cross the river to attack the camp.

    After nightfall, Hu Dinggui and Chen Fugui led their troops down the mountain.  They took off their armor and put them in the mountains ahead of time. They all marched lightly for more than ten li in the middle of the night, and finally arrived at the enemy's camp by the river.

    The moon was bright tonight, Hu Dinggui touched it quietly, and almost laughed out loud when he got close.

    The regiment training troops run by these gentry are no different from the peasants who just started to rebel.  Knowing nothing, the camp in front of him has made almost all the mistakes that can be made.

    Hu Dinggui and Chen Fugui each led 500 regular soldiers and began to approach little by little.

    "kill!"

    Hu Dinggui kicked over the bamboo fence and rushed into the enemy camp with ease.

    Ordinary Tuanyong, almost all sleep in the open air, with a mat or straw mat under their bodies.  Although the grass maggots were burned in the evening, the effect had passed by this time, and many Tuanyong were bitten by mosquitoes and could not sleep.

    In this state of being unable to sleep, if you march for a few more days, you will be physically and mentally exhausted before the battle.

    ? When the One Thousand Datong Army entered the camp, the regiment warriors woke up one after another.

    In the shadows, I don't know how many enemies have come.  Their first reaction was to flee, they didn't even bother to take weapons, and ran towards the small river quickly.

    Plop, plop

    The sound of falling into the water can be heard endlessly, and they all jumped into the river on their own initiative.  These Hunan men can almost swim, and they haven't worn armor yet.  They had figured it out a long time ago that they would jump into the river to escape if they encountered an enemy. Except for the children of gentry, ordinary soldiers did not want to fight at all.

    Especially those tenants, they participated in the group training purely because the landlord promised to reduce the rent this year, and the group training troops can still manage meals every day.

    The regiment of more than 7,000 people agreed, as if they had received a military order, they scrambled to the north,They snatched it.  "

    The moat outside the city has been filled with soil for a large section by Li Zheng's grain transportation team every day.

    Tao Aizhi looked at the part of the moat that had been filled in, and quietly instructed the three younger brothers.  Then he went to Wang Zhiliang, cupped his hands and said, "Fu Shuai, Wansheng can hang out in a basket at night and go to the camp of the rebels to feign surrender. Make an appointment to be an internal response. Three days later, we will raise a fire as a sign. When they enter the Wengcheng, we will come here."  Catch the turtle in the urn. Although it can't wipe out the bandit army, it can dampen their morale and boost our army's morale."

    There were more than 11,000 defenders in the city, and the Tao family recruited more than 4,000. Wang Zhiliang attached great importance to the four Tao brothers.

    Wang Zhiliang shook his head and said: "Rebels will not be fooled, and will detain you, don't take such a risk."

    Tao Aizhi said: "Wan Sheng can tell the rebels that it was Fushuai who made Wan Sheng feign surrender, and that Wan Sheng really intends to follow the bandits. Then he can get away calmly under the pretext of going back to the city to set up arrangements."

    Wang Zhiliang did not agree, but fell into deep thought.

    The city of Changsha is tall and strong, and it must be no problem to defend the city. The problem is that morale has been falling.

    In ancient times, the offensive and defensive battles of cities often lasted for several months.  Unless the whole army has the will to die, they will never block the gates of the city.  One of the important reasons for keeping the city gate is to go out of the city to play a few games at any time. A small victory can boost morale, and even a tie can boost morale.  Otherwise, the longer the siege lasts, the lower the morale of the defenders will be.

    However, the mob under Wang Zhiliang's command had only been besieged for half a month, and their morale had already fluctuated. A small victory was necessary.

    At this moment, Wang Zhiliang was looking forward to the rebels attacking the city quickly, so that he could use the city to continuously inflict damage on the rebels.  As long as it can cause damage, it can boost morale, but Li Zheng is just slowly filling the moat.

    Seeing the moat being filled section by section, it was simply a torment for the mob in the city.

    When the rebels really attacked the city, they didn't panic so much.

    That feeling, as if there is still a boot left.

    After thinking about it, Wang Zhiliang decided to take the risk and said to Tao Aizhi, "Then you should leave the city tonight."

    Tao Aizhi also had no choice, the city gate was full of Wang Zhiliang's soldiers.  And his Tao family's soldiers were all used to guard the city wall, and they were divided into four groups.

    He wanted to set fire to the city at night, but he was afraid of failure, and the four brothers would definitely be beheaded.

    Only by letting Li Zheng lead his troops to attack the city and attack the sections of the walls defended by Tao's soldiers, can the two sides cooperate perfectly.  But this is tantamount to letting Li Zheng take a risk. If Tao's soldiers cheat, under insufficient preparation, Datong soldiers will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

    Neither Li Zheng nor Tao Aizhi really trusted each other.

    In Li Zheng's view, Tao Aizhi has 4,000 soldiers, and he can just jump back inside the city, and then he will be able to take the opportunity to attack the city.

    To put it bluntly, I want the other party to do it first, so that it has been delayed until now.

    Tao Aizhi's adventure out of the city this time is to communicate with Li Zheng face to face, otherwise they will not cooperate with each other tacitly.

 Text 247 [Seizing the city at night]

    ,

    On the fourth watch, Tao Aizhi came down from the basket.

    Li Zheng camped several miles away, he had to run all the way, and he was so tired that he was out of breath after running two miles.

    Tao Aizhi put her hands on her knees, bent over and gasped for breath, slowed down and continued running.

    "Alas!"

    Suddenly, Tao Aizhi was tripped by someone, and when she tried to get up again, a knife was already pressed against her throat.

    The secret sentry of the Datong Army has been hiding in the grass.

    Tao Aizhi quickly said: "Take me to see the commander of your army quickly, and let us know if there is an urgent military situation!"

    As soon as this remark came out, the secret sentry did not dare to delay, and immediately searched Tao Aizhi's weapons, and then led him to his camp.

    Knowing Tao Aizhi's identity, Li Zheng was quite surprised, and couldn't help laughing: "You dare to go out of the city, aren't you afraid that the governor will kill your brothers?"

    "Whirring whirring……"

    Tao Aizhi was almost exhausted. Although he was young and vigorous, he was a literati after all, and he had already exceeded his physical limit after running for several miles.

    After entering the camp, Tao Aizhi changed to walking slowly, and was still panting when he entered the handsome tent.  He slowed down for a while, a little calmer, cupped his hands and said: "I lied about surrendering, and made an appointment with the governor to lure the general to attack the city in three days."

    Li Zheng asked: "Then when do you think the city should be attacked?"

    "The general, please send troops immediately to attack the city at five o'clock tonight, the governor will never think of it!" Tao Aizhi said.

    Tao Aizhi left the city at 2:30 at night, running and stopping all the way, and it was almost 3:00 when he met Li Zheng.  He asked Li Zheng to attack the city at five watchdays, which was equivalent to the Datong army gathering at night, carrying the siege ladder and rushing for several miles. The total time-consuming must be about two hours.

    "Tonight?" Li Zheng didn't dare to gamble. He didn't know Tao Aizhi well, nor did he know much about the situation in the city.

    Most importantly, Tao Aizhi took his whole family into the city in order to gain the governor's trust, and Li Zheng had no hostages at all.

    Time was running out, Tao Aizhi said anxiously: "General, don't hesitate, tie me up quickly, and I will be the hostage myself. If the matter fails, kill me. Tonight is a great opportunity. The governor knows that I will leave the city at four o'clock. I will never think of the general."  Siege at the fifth watch!"

    Tao Aizhi was willing to be a hostage herself. Li Zheng was finally moved when he heard this, and asked, "Tell me about your strategy."

    Tao Aizhi quickly explained: "Governor Wang Zhiliang is very cautious. The more than 11,000 defenders in the city are divided into three groups to take turns defending the city, changing defenses every morning and evening. Moreover, only two quarters of an hour before changing defenses, let them  People know which regiments are defending where. The gates without Wengcheng are all blocked by him. The gates with Wengcheng are guarded by soldiers brought by him.”

    "You're someone who knows how to defend the city, no wonder you haven't done anything." Li Zheng nodded.

    Tao Aizhi continued: "Tonight my second brother guards one part of the south city, the third brother guards the north part, and the fourth brother rests in the barracks inside the city. I have already ordered that at five o'clock, three torches will be lit on the south wall  As soon as the general attacks the south city, the fourth brother will set fire to the city, the second brother will support the general in the south city, and the third brother will wait for an opportunity to disrupt the situation in the north city."

    "Aside from your four brothers, who else knows about this?" Li Zheng asked.

    "Only a few confidant house slaves know, general, don't worry, they will never leak the secret." Tao Aizhi said very firmly.

    Twenty years ago, there were only four men left in the Tao family, one of whom was an old man who was dying.

    The Tao family's tens of thousands of acres of land are all supported by confidantes and slaves.  They are afraid of troubles between house slaves and tenants, so they treat people very generously. The monthly money of house slaves and the land rent of tenants are the best for tens of miles around.

    Moreover, Tao Ai made a promise early on to those confidant domestic slaves in the army.  As long as they help the Datong army capture Changsha, they will be freed afterwards. These domestic slaves are more urgent than Tao Aizhi.

    "Assemble the army, without luggage, only with siege ladders, and set off immediately after assembly!"

    After Li Zheng made up his mind, he acted immediately.

    He didn't tie Tao Aizhi either, but just threw her in the camp and let the grain transportation team take care of it.

    In fact, Li Zheng didn't have many soldiers, only 1,500 regular soldiers and 1,500 peasant soldiers, and the rest were all civilian food transport teams.  Originally, there were 2,000 soldiers and peasant soldiers, but 500 each were divided into going south to help Huang Yao attack Xiangtan.

    There were only 3,000 soldiers left, but the 11,000 defenders were too frightened to come out.

    Because Wang Zhiliang, Wang Qisheng and others did not think that there were only three thousand bandit soldiers.  They also counted Li Zheng's grain transportation team, which in general had a strength of nearly 10,000.

    It is indeed possible to calculate this way. Li Zheng's food transport team, after entering the battle, is estimated to be more brave than the newly formed regiment in the city, at least the enthusiasm for fighting is much higher.

    &, a small number went to the city tower to help in the battle, and some escaped into the houses to hide.

    Wang Zhiliang wanted to gather troops to resist, but Tao Yunfeng suddenly jumped back in Beicheng.

    The fire and chaos in the city, the battle on the north wall, the battle on the south wall, created an illusion that there were rebels everywhere.  Those brave regiments who hadn't been trained for a few days were so frightened that they fled one by one. They left the city wall and wanted to run to open the city gate.

    Although the guards at the city gate were all brought by Wang Zhiliang, they also belonged to the regiment bravely organized temporarily.  Instead of stopping Kaesong, they took the initiative to open the city gate, and abandoned the city to escape in the darkness.

    "Surrender, we surrender!"

    The soldiers of the Datong Army led Tao's army and Zhang's army to defeat two groups of enemies one after another on the south wall.  The rest don't fight, they can escape if they can, and if they can't escape, they surrender and beg for mercy.

    Just as Wang Zhiliang was about to fight desperately, the soldiers around him fled one after another, and some of them were black-hearted, so they simply pushed Wang Zhiliang to the ground.

    "Surrender, we surrender, we have captured the governor!"

    Li Zheng glanced at the city, and said to Tao Jianzhi: "You take people to put out the fire, and all the officers and soldiers who surrendered should also go to put out the fire!"

    Wang Zhiliang stopped struggling, closed his eyes and waited for death, he felt that he was finally free.

 Text 248 [Stirring the World]

    ,

    There are more than 11,000 defenders, and the Tao and Zhang families add up to 5,000.  Of the remaining 6,000 regiments, more than 4,000 were captured by Li Zheng. After all, there was no way to escape if the city gate was blocked.

    Group training gentry, kill them all!

    As for the ordinary regiment soldiers, the mission officer slowly explained the policy to them.  As long as they can memorize the policy, they will be sent back to their hometown immediately, and they will be given a bucket of rice as travel expenses before leaving.

    More than 4,000 captives returned to their hometowns and served as more than 4,000 policy ambassadors.

    Another three days passed.

    The prefect Wang Qisheng and the county magistrate Yang Guanji each finished their work and went to the government office.

    The two happened to meet at the door, and their expressions were a little embarrassed.  Scholars in the same discipline, officials in the same place, and a thief at the same time, this fate is too wonderful, and the relationship in the future will definitely be stronger.

    The difference in their official positions also intuitively reflects the rules of officialdom in the late Ming Dynasty.

    Wang Qisheng was born in a wealthy family, from Yixing, Changzhou Prefecture, one of the strongholds of the Donglin Party.  He himself was a member of the Fushe, built cities, embankments, and dug ditches all the way, and was quickly promoted to magistrate based on his political achievements and connections.

    ? Yang Guanji was born in a poor family and was born in Zhao'an, Zhangzhou Prefecture.  The Jinshi was sent out, did nothing, and was directly demoted to the ninth rank governor, and he is still a county magistrate until now.

    These two people were nominated on the gold list in the same year and were released as officials at the same time!

    "Brother Li Qing!"

    Yang Guanji took the initiative to bow to greet each other, feeling a little dark in his heart, he finally didn't have to look up at each other anymore.

    Wang Qisheng cupped his hands in return: "Brother Ji, please!"

    "Please!" Yang Guanji smiled.

    The two walked into the government office side by side, which was Li Zheng's temporary office.

    "Meet the General!"

    Seeing Li Zheng, the two bowed in unison.

    Li Zheng said with a smile: "The extinguishing of the fire in the city and the transfer of many official documents are all thanks to the two gentlemen. By the way, Governor Wang is still unwilling to surrender?"

    Wang Qisheng replied: "I have persuaded you, but I was scolded back. But judging from his words and deeds, he is not unwilling to contribute, but he is afraid of hurting his children and grandchildren."

    Governor Wang Zhiliang has five sons, three of whom are already officials. It is impossible for such a person to be a thief.

    He would rather die himself than keep his son.

    As for Wang Qisheng, although the thief was straightforward, he was not weak.

    Historically, Wang Qisheng also recruited troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and spent all his wealth to build and train naval forces.  Lu Xiangguan, Lu Xiangsheng's younger brother, went to join him after his defeat. Unfortunately, Wang Qisheng's navy was also defeated by Hong Chengchou.  The final outcome is unknown, but Wang Qisheng definitely did not surrender, and he probably went to hide his name and become a commoner.

    Wang Qisheng is willing to join Zhao Han, mainly because he thinks Zhao Han can make things happen.

    After the city of Changsha was taken down, the entire Dongting Lake Plain was exposed to Zhao Han's soldiers, and the southern Hunan region could be said to be within easy reach.

    Occupying Jiangxi and southern Shonan, the hegemony has just begun!

    Yang Guanji is similar, and he has no ideological burden.  He was born in poverty, was clean and not greedy, and had no property in his family. After Zhao Han occupied Fujian, Yang Guanji's family might still be able to get the land.

    After chatting for a few more words, Li Zheng called his subordinates and ordered: "Governor Wang would rather die than surrender, send him back to Ji'an, and hand him over to the general town for his own disposal."

    "Wait a minute!"

    Wang Qisheng stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said, "General, you can tie up this person and send troops to escort him to various prefectures and counties. Now around Dongting Lake, only Xiangyin has 3,000 defenders, and the rest of the city's defenders are only hundreds of thousands. As long as the governor is bound  Going to call the city, although the two mansions of Yuezhou and Changde do not depend on the spread of the call, they will certainly not encounter any decent resistance."

    "No need," Li Zheng said, "The war on the northern front will stop with the capture of Changsha City. This was decided before the troops were dispatched."

    Yang Guanji also quickly advised: "General, the prefectures and counties around Dongting Lake are the essence of southern Hunan. It is time to take advantage of this good opportunity to get them quickly, and we cannot leave the government to breathe."

    "There are not enough officials." Li Zheng explained.

    Wang Qisheng couldn't understand it at all: "As long as the city is taken down, do you still think there are not enough officials? Even if there are not enough officials, first occupy the city and land!"

    Li Zheng smiled and said: "You don't understand, you can go to the countryside and observe how the mission group and the farmers' association divide the land."

    Wang Qisheng and Yang Guanji looked at each other, and both felt that Li Zheng was too rigid, how could such a good opportunity stop?

    Of course Li Zheng will not stop his troops, it's just that the route is different. He and Huang Yao will fight westward next.  Instead of occupying the affluent Dongting Lake Plain, they captured relatively poorer places such as Xiangxiang, Xinhua, and Shaoyang.

    The reason why Changsha City was occupied is that Changsha is a strategic location.

    &nbThe army will not let them leave Gucheng, and they will inevitably rebel in the future.  Take Xiong Wencan back and put him in prison, and replace him with someone who can fight, and immediately encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong.  Destroy Zhang Xianzhong, and then send heavy troops to the south to fight the Zhao bandits!  "

    "Your Majesty" Yang Sichang still wanted to insist on his own opinion.

    "Immediately do so, otherwise I will change to another Minister of the Ministry of War," Chongzhen said angrily, "Go to Xiangyang yourself and wipe out Zhang Xianzhong quickly!"

    Yang Sichang said: "But here in the capital"

    Chongzhen scolded: "There is Lu Xiangsheng here in the capital!"

    Zhao Han finally brought about huge changes. Xiong Wencan was sent to prison early, Yang Sichang left Beijing early, and Lu Xiangsheng might not be trapped to death.

    As for Zhang Xianzhong, he could no longer train his troops with peace of mind, and had to flee with his troops again.

    Chongzhen has always been war and uncertainty, Zhao Han wantonly expanded in Huguang, forcing Chongzhen to the main battle side.  If the front line continues to lose, Chongzhen may be inclined to make peace, anyway, he does not have the willpower to persevere to the end.

    Li Zheng captured Changsha and stirred up too many things.

    Especially in the prefectures and counties around Dongting Lake, the officials are timid, the gentry are frightened, and the prestige of Zhao Tianwang can stop children from crying at night in all counties.

    Moreover, Zhao Tianwang's reputation has spread throughout the world, and everyone knows that there is such a giant bandit.

    It is one thing to monopolize Jiangxi, but also to occupy Huguang. Everyone knows that the south has changed.

 Text 249 [The Leak-picking King] (adding updates to the "Nuanyang 1314" of the Baiyin League)

    The army of Zhang Tieniu and Liu Zhu was taking advantage of the whole process.

    Only the three cities of Hengyang, Leiyang, and Hengshan were difficult to conquer for a while because Liao Sheng led troops to garrison them.  But before the city was besieged, Liao Sheng led the main force to leave, intending to sneak attack and cut off Huang Yao's food supply.

    Then, Liao Sheng's entire army was wiped out, Hengyang slaves revolted, and the defenders of Leiyang and Hengshan fled.

    Zhang and Liu went to eight cities in a row, and they only fought in the surprise attack on Ling County.

    In other places, either the officers and soldiers surrendered quickly, or the bandits fled watching the wind, and it was a joy to pick up the city for nothing.

    However, the missionaries, officials and peasant associations who were with them all sighed and complained.

    Because these eight cities were all ravaged by bandits, the work of restoration and reconstruction was exhausting.  The villages and towns are withered, the land is barren, and the people have to hide in the mountains. They have to recruit refugees to divide the fields and cultivate them, and they have to immigrate from Jiangxi.

    These eight places, not only cannot bring in financial revenue this year, but Zhao Han has to pay for food to restore people's livelihood.

    The two went down the river and went straight to Chenzhou.

    As long as they take down Chenzhou and then take down Yizhang, they can enter Guangdong and go east and west with Fei Ruhe, beating Guangdong officers and soldiers regardless of their heads.

    ?In the evening, camping, Zhang Tieniu ate his dinner and said, "Old Liu, I don't know if Chenzhou is a good place to fight."

    "You have to fight a few tough battles, and you can't expect to win all the way." Liu Zhu said.

    Zhang Tieniu said: "I also want to have a good two games. Huang Yao and Li Zheng have a lot of fun."

    "Yeah, even Changsha has been taken down." Liu Zhu said with emotion. He also just received the news two days ago.

    Zhang Tieniu smacked his lips and said, "I don't know what happened to that kid Ruhe."

    Liu Zhu guessed: "It probably won't go very well. I heard that the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi has suppressed bandits in Guangdong for the past few years, then went to Guangxi to suppress bandits, and returned to Guangdong to suppress bandits last year. He fought for several years in succession.  Pigs can become powerful, let alone those officers and soldiers."

    The two chatted for a while, and after dinner, it was already dark, and Liu Zhu left his job and went to tour the camp.

    The next day, in the afternoon, Zhang Tieniu ordered the whole army to stop camping and sent spies to the city of Chenzhou to inquire about the news.

    An hour later, the spies came back with dozens of people.

    Zhang Tieniu asked suspiciously, "Are these all here to join the army?"

    The spies replied: "He came to sacrifice the city."

    "Another city for nothing?" Zhang Tieniu always felt weird.

    "Not one city," the spies muttered, "They have six cities in their hands."

    "Six cities?"

    Zhang Tieniu was speechless for a moment, and Liu Zhu was also dumbfounded.

    In this year and month, does Xiancheng have to engage in wholesale?

    I saw a man stepping forward, leading dozens of people to kneel down and shouting: "Xianghualing Liu Xinyu, leading miners, Yao people and tenant brothers, presents Chenzhou, Guiyang Prefecture, Yizhang County, Linwu County, Guidong County, Guizhou  Yang County, ask Tianwang Zhao to preside over the division of the fields!"

    Two states and four counties are indeed six cities.

    Zhang Tieniu swallowed, and asked, "Where is the thief leader Xiaobawang who fled south?"

    "Dead," Liu Xinyu replied, "More than 30,000 bandits went south and were ambushed by my troops. The entire army has been wiped out."

    Liu Zhu asked curiously, "What did brother do before?"

    "Mining." Liu Xinyu said.

    The name Liu Xinyu is really not made up, it belongs to a historical figure, and it should have made a bigger fuss.

    Between Guiyang Prefecture, Linwu County, and Lanshan County, there is a three-way zone, which was called Lequan Township in the Ming Dynasty, and Jiahe County a few hundred years later.

    In the mountains, there are big families named Li, Peng, Xiao, He, and Chen.

    Officials are not allowed to enter, so don't even think about collecting taxes.

    If any prefect or county magistrate dares to send people into the mountains to collect taxes, the bodies of the officials who went into the mountains will not be found.

    Especially the Li family, who moved to the mountains in the early Ming Dynasty, and the whole family moved here to avoid chaos, and almost annexed 90% of the fertile land in Lequan Township.

    ? These big clans in the mountains are lawless, ignoring the majesty of the court, and even more ignoring the lives of ordinary people.

    The tenants, miners, and Yao people suffered terribly.

    In the eight years of Chongzhen in history, miner Liu Xinyu raised his arms and responded to tens of thousands of rebels.  They set out from Chenzhou, attacked the city and seized territory along the way, all the way to the city of Changsha, and almost killed Hunan directly.

    After three years of trouble like this, the imperial court finally dispatched troops to conquer.

    You heard me right, the peasant army went from Chenzhou to Changsha, and it took three years before Emperor Chongzhen finally mobilized his troops to quell the chaos.

    the.

    A walled building is a bunker, and its main purpose is to guard against bandits.

    The methods and methods of peasant association work here must also be adjusted.

    There are many places, a walled building represents a Hakka family.  Both the clan land and the surrounding buildings are public-owned, and the clan members farm the family's land as tenants. The land rent is relatively low and it must be returned to the public. There is no too bad economic oppression.

    Of course, the clan is very powerful, and the patriarch holds the power of life and death.

    In addition, clansmen who have been separated for a long time cannot farm the land.  These people had a miserable life, and they wanted to be oppressed, so they could only move to Huguang and Jiangxi, and ran to the mountains to cultivate wasteland.

    Zhang Tieniu only cares about fighting, he doesn't need to think about these issues.

    When the magistrate came to the outside of Lechang City, the county magistrate got the news and hurriedly boarded the tower to check.

    ?Including the grain transporters, civilians accompanying the army, and Liu Xinyu's troops, there are as many as 18,000 people.

    The county magistrate was dumbfounded. There are less than one thousand defenders in the city. What the hell is this?

    That night, Zhixian ran away with Yin Zi.

    The next morning, Zhang Tieniu sent people to fill up the moat, and suddenly the city gates opened wide, and the chief secretary and Dian Shi led two groups of yamen servants to offer the city to surrender.

    "Damn it, it's a waste of a city. Can't we fight it with a knife and a gun?"

    Zhang Tieniu was actually a little depressed, this is the fifteenth city he picked up.

 Body 250 [Battle in Guangdong]

    When Zhang Tieniu fought from Huguang to Guangdong and picked up fifteen cities for nothing, Fei Ruhe's army from the south only took down one Heping County.

    Moreover, Jiang Dashan succeeded in the surprise attack on Heping County, which has nothing to do with Fei Ruhe himself.

    Fei Ruhe crossed mountains and ridges and bumped into Longchuan County. He has not been able to conquer this city until now.

    Shen Youlong divided his troops to defend strategically important places, and did not come out to fight in the field. He just fought in a dull manner.  However, he still had enough troops, and they were veterans who had been suppressing the bandits for three years. Fei Ruhe tried all kinds of methods but failed.

    Jiang Dashan led his troops to join him and besieged Longchuan with Fei Ruhe, but there was still nothing he could do.

    In desperation, Fei Ruhe could only continue to surround Longchuan and let Jiang Dashan lead troops to attack Xingning County.  Apart from Xingning County, there is no other place to go, because no matter where you go, you need to cross mountains and mountains.

    After Jiang Dashan arrived in Xingning, he was also stuck under the city. There were also three thousand veterans stationed here.

    The two sides stood still and entered a two-month standoff.

    Outside Longchuan City, the Datong Military Camp.

    Fei Ruhe pulled the troops out for a walk as usual, the moat had already been filled, he tried to attack the city once, and then he was too lazy to fight recklessly.

    This guy was smiling all over his face, showing no signs of frustration at all, and he took out his binoculars to observe the city tower leisurely.

    In the county seat, Shen Youlong was worried instead.

    He didn't dare to go out of the city at all, so he could only keep passive defense.

    Moreover, it is impossible to increase troops, because the main force must be stationed in Nanxiong.  If troops are deployed to support Longchuan, if Nanxiong falls, it will be equivalent to losing half of Guangdong.

    Nanhai Juren Feng Yushun, who was Shen Youlong's staff at this time, looked outside the city and frowned and said, "Master, this is not the way to go, the rebels have been dividing the land outside the city for nearly two months, and Longchuan has essentially become an isolated city.  "

    "Out of the city, you will lose the battle." Shen Youlong said with an ugly face.

    Some time ago, Shen Youlong saw that the main force of the Zhao thieves was in Longchuan, so he asked the general Lu Qian to send troops from Nanxiong, trying to take the opportunity to capture the three passes of Meiling.

    Lu Qian led 5,000 elite veterans to attack Meiguan, which was garrisoned by 300 people.  After the first battle, he threw away his helmet and armor, and suffered more than six hundred casualties. Lu Qian was so frightened that he hurried back to Nanxiong to hide.

    Lu Qian also sent news that there are a large number of "enemies of ten thousand people" in Zhao's bandit army.

    And those ten thousand enemies are all made of ceramic shells, which can be thrown for a long distance on flat ground.

    Shen Youlong said worriedly: "I'm most worried about Lu Qian's side."

    "Can Zongbing Lu still be a thief?" Feng Yushun asked doubtfully.

    Shen Youlong sighed and said: "He was impeached by the gentry in your hometown."

    Feng Yushun was speechless for a moment, secretly cursing his countryman as mentally retarded, and at the same time slandering Lu Qian as a jerk.

    ?Guangdong General Lu Qian, when suppressing the bandits last year, killed a few gentlemen from the South China Sea, and robbed the goods of these gentlemen for smuggling.

    In the Ming Dynasty, smuggling along the coast was not only at sea, but also had to be supplied by land.

    Relying on his status as the commander-in-chief, Lu Qian wanted to forcibly intervene in the land smuggling trade.  And it was a bit too much, often sending troops to loot, which angered the land private businessmen in Nanhai County.

    Feng Yushun said: "The court is in the midst of employing people, so it is unlikely that General Lu will be dismissed."

    Shen Youlong shook his head and said: "If Lu Qian is not dismissed, the gentry in Nanhai County will join forces with thieves."

    "Thisis really possible." The more Feng Yushun thought about it, the more frightening he became.

    Guangdong has many mountains and little land, and those coastal gentry and wealthy families did not rely on land income to make their fortunes.  When goods from Huguang and Jiangxi arrived, they purchased them openly, and then secretly sold them to maritime merchants behind their backs.

    It is these people who have been obstructing Daming Kaihai all this time!

    As for sea merchants and pirates, they are either their puppets or their partners.

    Today, the Datong Army has closed the three Meiling Passes, preventing goods from Jiangxi from entering Guangdong.  The Huguang business road was also cut off, Guangdong smugglers suffered heavy losses, and even sea merchants like Zheng Zhilong also suffered huge losses.

    In addition, there are Guangdong salt merchants. Their main sales markets are Huguang and Jiangxi, and they can't ship them now.

    Salt merchants, sea merchants, and land smugglers are now as anxious as ants in a hot pot.  They did not dare to offend the "King of Jiangxi" Zhao Han, because Jiangxi was the source of goods, so they tried every means to backstab Guangdong officers and soldiers in series.

    They not only impeached Lu Qian, the general of Guangdong, but also impeached Shen Yulong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

    For these merchants, Guangdong can be occupied by rebels, but they must not fight for a long time!

    A few days later.

    ?The people in the county are all their own people, and they can take the opportunity to suppress the landlords and increase the army rations.

    "Report!!!!"

    "The Ba Pai Yao uprising has captured the four cities of Lianzhou, Lianshan, Yangshan, and Ruyuan!"

    Hearing the news, Fei Ruhe smiled and said, "There is no need to fight in Guangdong, the officers and soldiers will soon collapse."

    The three cities of Lianzhou, Huguang in the north, Guangxi in the west, and the transition area of ??the three provinces are all Yao people's settlements.

    In the eight years of Chongzhen in history, it was not only Liu Xinyu who led the Huguang Yaomin miners to rebel.  At the same time, there were also the Eight Pai Yao Uprising in Guangdong, the Huayao Uprising in Huguangjiang, and the Yao People's Uprising in He County, Guangxi.

    The Yao people and miners in the three provinces rebelled at the same time, and it took three years before the imperial court sent the coalition forces of the five provinces to encircle and suppress them.

    However, the Ba Pai Yao uprising was the most troublesome, encircled and suppressed by five provinces, and changed two governors. From the eleventh year of Chongzhen to the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, it was not put down.

    Two years ago, Shen Youlong exhausted all his energy and finally beat Ba Pai Yao back to the mountain.

    At this very moment, Zhang Tieniu led his troops to occupy Lechang, which happened to be the site of Ba Pai Yao next door.  They took the opportunity to go out of the mountains, captured all four counties, and cooperated with Zhang Tieniu to fight officers and soldiers.

    Guangdong is gone, and the officers and soldiers can't bear it.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 251 [Thirty people seize the city]

    ,

    In the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was a pattern of Yao people's uprising.

    Shuyao's rebellion is usually caused by too much government oppression, which is no different from peasant rebellion.

    When Shengyao rebelled, he usually went down the mountain to plunder.  Just like the nomadic Kou Bian, because the living environment has become harsh, they come to grab money, food, and supplies, which is extremely destructive when they become large-scale.

    The Eight Pai Yaos who revolted this time all belonged to the "Shu Yao", that is, the Yao people who have registered as Qi Min and must pay taxes every year.

    Liu Xinyu took the Yao people from Qianjiadong to contact the Ba Pai Yao rebel army, and Ba Pai Yao immediately led the troops to join them.

    "Brother General Zhang," Liu Xinyu introduced, "These three are the leader of the Youling Pai, the head of Tang Fayin, the leader of Pan Chengyun Pan, and the leader of Fangzhi Renfang. These three are the leader of Nangang Pai, Li Liangyong and Li  The leader, Pan Enhao, the leader"

    Zhang Tieniu was a little dizzy after hearing the big push, but luckily the names were all normal.

    Zhang Tieniu didn't understand what the boss did. After inquiring in detail, he felt that the management mode of these Yao people was very strange.

    Ba Pai Yao has a total of eight large settlements and more than 20 small settlements.

    If "Pai" is likened to a large village, "Chong" is a small village, and "Dragon" is a small village group.

    ? Yao people must first elect Yao elders, which is equivalent to electing members of the village self-government committee.

    Continue to elect cadres from among these Yao elders.  There are Tianchanggong (big leader), Tougong (small leader), Fangshuigong (management of water resources), Temple Master (sacrifice and education), Burning Incense Lord (worshiping incense), and Guanshitou (commanding battles).

    Tianchanggong, who will be re-elected once every two years, and Yao Lao will take turns.

    ?Equivalent to members of the village committee, they take turns serving as the village head, changing every two years.

    The leader, the leader, changes every two years, one new and one old.

    Equivalent to each village group, there must be two group leaders.  Elections are held once every two years, with an old team leader as positive and a new team leader as deputy.

    These Yao people not only practice the electoral system, but also practice monogamy.

    And it must be a small family. Within one year of the wedding, the young couple must separate.

    These more than 30 Yao people's villages had riots, and Tianchanggong (big leader) stayed in the mountains because he was too old.  However, many bosses (little bosses) were sent, and Tang Fayin was elected as the temporary boss, leading more than 20,000 Yao soldiers to contact Zhang Tieniu.

    Everyone sat down and began to discuss.

    Tang Fayin asked directly: "Our Yao people rebelled because the government did not abide by the agreement and collected more and more land taxes every year. May I ask the general, if Zhao Tianwang becomes the emperor, how will the taxes here be collected?"

    Zhang Tieniu laughed and said, "You don't believe me when I tell you. You can send people to Jiangxi to inquire about it. Zhao Tianwang's land tax is very light. Last year, there was a severe drought in Jiangxi. He not only reduced taxes, but also distributed food to the victims."

    "Does King Zhao have a son?" Tang Fayin asked again.

    Zhang Tieniu said, "There is one."

    Tang Fayin asked: "Have you ever been married?"

    "No." Zhang Tieniu said.

    "That's good," Tang Fayin said, "The twenty-fourth Yao people in the eighth row agreed to choose the most beautiful Yao woman to marry the son of Zhao Tianwang. As long as the two parties get married, Ba Paiyao will always be loyal to Zhao Tianwang  !"

    Zhang Tieniu said with a smile: "I'm afraid the marriage is a bit difficult, Zhao Tianwang's son, I don't know if he will be weaned or not."

    As soon as this remark came out, all the leaders of the Yao nationality were astonished.

    The Yao nationality does not prohibit intermarriage, at least Ba Pai Yao does not prohibit it.

    According to the ballad passed down by mouth in Ba Pai Yao, we can probably guess its source——

    At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Tuo led his troops to march south. In order to consolidate the territory, he encouraged the soldiers to marry the locals.

    Fang Shiliu, the leader of the Sanmiao Legion in Huainan, married King Pangu (female leader) of the Yao nationality and gave birth to three sons. This is the ancestor of the Fang family of the Yao nationality.  Fang Shiliu recruited another son-in-law named Tang Huangbai, who was the ancestor of the Tang family of the Yao nationality.

    Moreover, before the intermarriage between the soldiers of the Qin army and the aborigines, Ba Pai Yao was probably in the matrilineal clan era of group marriage.

    The leaders of these Ba Pai Yao began to whisper, as if they were discussing what to do.

    Suddenly, Tang Fayin asked: "How old is Zhao Tianwang, and how many wives does he have?"

    Zhang Tieniu replied: "Not very old, a wife."

    Tang Fayin actually bowed his hand and saluted: "General Zhang, the Yao people hope to marry Zhao Tianwang himself."

    "I have no control over this, you should send people to Jiangxi." Zhang Tieniu said with a smile.

    Tang Fayin nodded and said, "Okay, let's send people to Jiangxi."

    from"You eggless coward," Zhang Tieniu ordered, "play the flag!"

    Order the flag to wave, and the army retreats.

    Li Yingsheng was finally relieved and asked to have the gate of the Wengcheng and the main gate opened.

    A soldier entered the urn city to check, came out and said to Zhang Tieniu, "The main gate inside is open."

    "Walk!"

    Zhang Tieniu walked in with a smile, and Li Yingsheng came down immediately, ready to surrender and offer the city.

    Zhang Tieniu led his troops through the Wengcheng and came to the main gate. Li Yingsheng led the officers under his command and knelt down and shouted: "Welcome the general to enter the city!"

    "good!"

    Zhang Tieniu walked over with a smile, as if he wanted to help Li Yingsheng up, and Li Yingsheng also waited for Zhang Tieniu to help him.

    Suddenly, Zhang Tieniu drew his knife and swung it out: "Kill!"

    Accepting the surrender is a very complicated matter, and it will take at least several days of tossing.

    Moreover, Li Yingsheng was too cautious to let Zhang Tieniu bring only 30 people into the city to accept the surrender.

    What would Zhang Tieniu think?

    ?It must be because my heart is trembling, what if Li Yingsheng suddenly regrets before the surrender is completed?

    Instead of trusting Li Yingsheng, it is better to trust the knife in your hand.  Although there were only thirty people around him, Zhang Tieniu dared to take the opportunity to seize the city!

    Li Yingsheng was kneeling on the ground, Zhang Tieniu slashed out with a single knife, and killed him in a daze.

    "kill!"

    Wu Yong also drew his knife and hacked another officer to death.

    Including Zhang Tieniu, thirty-one soldiers of Zhao Han's personal guard slashed wildly at those kneeling officers.

    The standing ones killed the kneeling ones, killing a lot of them in an instant, and the remaining generals turned around and ran away in fright.

    Xiong Shikui stood beside him in a daze, completely stupefied.

    There are thousands of officers and soldiers in the city, and dozens of rebels dare to kill and seize the city?

    Zhang Tieniu really dared to kill, and the officers and soldiers really dared to escape.

    Seeing the army outside the city regroup, and seeing his own generals being killed and running wildly, the officers and soldiers on the nearby wall collapsed immediately.

 Text 252 [Words and Cranes] (adding updates to the "Nuanyang 1314" of the Baiyin League)

    Zhang Tieniu kept his promise, and the middle and low-level officers and ordinary soldiers, as long as they have not escaped, will all distribute food and go home.

    The premise is to confiscate their weapons and armor.

    This is already kind enough, Zhang Tieniu even wanted to kill all those officers, regardless of their rank.

    Moreover, there is absolutely no mistake in killing!

    These officers and soldiers have been suppressing bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi for three years, and the imperial court does not pay them any food. Where does their military food come from?

    All of them have bloody hands, and they are all executioners who slaughtered the people.

    Maybe some military officers have even done things like killing good people and taking meritorious service.  One kill is a village, the money and food are taken away and put into pockets, the head is cut off and used as a reward for meritorious service, and then it is said that the village was slaughtered by rebels.

    Some of the officers and soldiers who escaped on the day of the capture of the city rushed to Shixing County to report, and the Shixing defenders also reported to Nanxiong.

    "Take only a small amount of luggage, and the whole army will evacuate!"

    ?Guangdong General Lu Qian turned pale with fright, and immediately withdrew from Nanxiongfu City, taking away the troops from Shixing County by the way.  They had to leave early, otherwise they would be blocked there and unable to advance or retreat, because Zhang Tieniu's route of attack was to stab chrysanthemums.

    In fact, Lu Qian's main force has been blocked by Zhang Tieniu.

    When evacuating, Lu Qian couldn't walk the normal way, so he could only leave through the mountain by a small road called "Qinghua Path".

    After crossing mountains and ridges, he finally came to Wengyuan County. Lu Qian still didn't dare to stay, and continued to retreat to Yingde County to garrison, and Zhang Tieniu was stuck on the main road to continue going south (Wengyuan County in Ming Dynasty was very close to Yingde County).

    The entire northern part of Guangdong was captured, leaving only Yingde City.

    To the south of Yingde is Guangzhou!

    Although there is Qingyuan blocking the waterway in the middle, there is a land official road between Yingde and Guangzhou.

    Just need to capture Yingde again, and you can go directly to Guangzhou City.

    This is not how powerful Zhang Tieniu is, but Shen Youlong's strategic mistake, not sending troops to guard against Huguang.  As a result, once Shaozhou fell, the main force in the direction of Nanxiong and Shixing would be at risk of being blocked and encircled and wiped out, which frightened the general Lu Qian to withdraw his troops from the mountain path overnight.

    Shen Youlong himself, in fact, does not know how to fight. He relies entirely on his staff to give ideas, and the specific military affairs are handled by generals.

    When the news of the fall of northern Guangdong came, Shen Youlong's situation became even more embarrassing.

    He wanted to shrink the line of defense, voluntarily abandoned the city, and withdrew to join forces with Lu Qian in the direction of Guangzhou, but was blocked by Fei Ruhe in Longchuan and could not return.

    On that road, Fei Ruhe divided his troops and got stuck.

    In desperation, Shen Youlong could only do his best, leading more than 6,000 old soldiers, the same number of civilian husbands and a large fleet.  More than 13,000 people voluntarily abandoned Longchuan City and went to attack Fei Ruhe outside Heyuan City.

    There are also 3,000 defenders in Heyuan, equal to more than 16,000 people, and 6,000 people (including civilian husbands) attacking Fei Ruhe from both sides.

    One hundred and thirty miles, marching along the river bank.

    Camp in the evening.

    After nightfall, there were shadows around the barracks, and a large number of grain transporters fled at night.  They were forcibly recruited, and they were not willing to fight at all. How could they not escape such a good opportunity?

    Shen Youlong was awakened by his own soldiers, and after learning about the situation, he didn't dare to stop him.

    If there is too much commotion in the middle of the night, it is very likely that the camp will be bombed directly, and the officers and soldiers will follow.

    Those officers and soldiers are also unwilling to fight!

    The advantage of Shen Youlong is that he knows how to delegate power. He can't fight, so he trusts his generals very much.  However, this also led to the corruption of military discipline. It took three years to suppress the bandits in Guangdong and Guangxi, and many times they deliberately let the bandits go.

    For those generals, instead of fighting tough battles with the rebels, one can support the bandits' self-respect, two can preserve their strength, and three can take the opportunity to make a fortune.

    The generals got rich by robbing, but the top soldiers didn't get much.

    Even the military pay is not enough, and the food is also very poor.  This is the normal state of the army in the late Ming Dynasty. That army can feed the soldiers, but it belongs to the heterogeneous among the heterogeneous.

    Shen Youlong can defend the city with a large army. Once he leaves the city and the Datong army is nearby, the soldiers and civilians will make up their minds to flee.

    The march continued the next day. As a large number of civilians fled and scattered, soldiers were required to transport food, resulting in a slower march.

    Camp in the evening.

    This time, Shen Youlong learned his lesson and put the civilians in the middle and the soldiers on the periphery, so that the civilians could be prevented from escaping at night.

    The civilian husband did not have a chance to escape, but the soldiers started to run.  The outermost troops lost as much as 60% during the night, and more than 800 people fled overnight.

    In the morning, count the number of people, Shen Youlong and ?Unexpectedly, it was his own nephew, but he sailed away in the night last night!

    Shi Wangzheng is not the only one who is angry. Obviously, there are also generals who are using public equipment for private use, and they are also using grain ships to carry goods.

    In order to stop the loss, the generals asked for the unloading of the goods, and asked the civilian men to carry the goods on the shore, and move the luggage and food back to the ship.  Even if he escapes, the civilian husband can't take too much away, unlike the boat that escapes and loses everything.

    Shen Youlong was so angry that he called the generals and scolded his head and face: "What time is it, you are still greedy for money. Take out your silver and donate one hundred taels per person. I will give it to the soldiers again."  Pay more!"

    It can only be punished in this way, the board falls gently, and the war is about to start, Shen Youlong dare not offend the general.

    The military generals in the late Ming Dynasty were indeed of low status, but at the same time they were arrogant and domineering.

    A military officer of the sixth rank dared to wear casual clothes of the first rank, and swaggered past the civil servants, but the civil servants could only turn a blind eye to it.

    "kill!"

    As he was walking, there was a sudden cry of killing in the mountains ahead.

    "Stop marching!"

    "Array, array, don't panic!"

    After a while, only a few search teams were killed by 500 Datong ambushes, and more than 20 people sent out to explore the road were killed by the Datong army's ambushes.

    Shen Youlong was about to be driven crazy. For more than a hundred miles, he had to walk along the river bank, and both sides of the Dongjiang River were full of mountains, and any section of the road might be ambushed.

    Fei Ruhe only needed to send five hundred soldiers to create panic along the way.

    More officers and soldiers were sent into the mountain, and the five hundred fellow soldiers ran away immediately.  Once the officers and soldiers relax, the false ambush may become a real ambush.

    These officers, soldiers and soldiers are almost suffering from neurasthenia.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Main body 253 [Fire gun shooting]

    There are still forty miles away from Heyuan County.

    The search team in charge of exploring the road suddenly came back with two wooden signs: "Master, I found this by the river ahead."

    Shen Youlong glanced at it, and quickly scolded: "This is a treacherous trick by bandits, take it away and burn it, don't want to destroy our army's morale!"

    "What is this?" Deputy Commander Shi Wangzheng walked over curiously.

    "Don't pay attention to the lies."

    Shen Youlong didn't want people to see it, so he directly blocked the writing on the wooden board with his sleeve.

    The two wooden signs are indeed full of false news.

    A wooden sign reads: Lu Qian, the general soldier of Guangdong, was wiped out in Yingde County.

    A wooden sign reads: General Lin Junen surrendered in Xiancheng, Heyuan County.

    At this time, Fei Ruhe sent many small boats to cruise on the Dongjiang River, but no news could be conveyed.

    What can be passed on is all deliberately released by Fei Ruhe, and Shen Youlong can only choose to believe it or not.

    These Soushan team members are all the governor's pacesetters.  They left holding the wooden sign, and the commander-in-chief Shi Wangzheng became more and more curious, guessing that it must be some very bad information.

    Shi Wangzheng returned to his team and warned his confidant servants to flee immediately if the situation was not right.

    In troubled times, everything is imaginary, only the army can rely on it.

    A general without an army is worse than a wild dog!

    However, those search team members did not immediately chop and burn the wooden signs after re-entering the mountain, but gathered together to start a discussion.

    "Why don't we run away, the Heyuan County in front is definitely gone, and going there is a dead end."

    "That's right, the governor was kind to us, but we took the risk to explore the way for several days, and more than 20 people died before and after. We are already worthy of the governor."

    "Let's go, go, go home."

    ""

    ? This group of search team responsible for exploring the road all ran away without Shen Youlong knowing about it.

    The whole army continued to advance, and after losing the search team, they came to the ambush point without knowing it.

    "Fourth brother, the officers and soldiers are here."

    "Let go of the ones in front, and kill them in the middle!"

    The person in charge of these five hundred people was Xiao Shan, who was born as a slave of the Xiao family in Yongyang Town.

    Xiao Shan was quickly promoted when he was suppressing bandits in Southern Jiangxi. There were bandits everywhere in the mountains. Xiao Shan wiped out countless bandits, and by the way he developed the ability to fight in the mountains.

    The five hundred soldiers under his command are also proficient in mountain warfare, and they climb mountains and ridges like walking on flat ground.

    The marching speed of the officers and soldiers was very slow, dragging a long snake along the river bank.

    "kill!"

    "Doo toot toot toot toot toot~~~~~~"

    Five hundred Datong troops rushed out from the mountain, the resounding charge horn pierced the sky, and rushed towards the long snake's waist.

    Deputy Commander Shi Wangzheng originally wanted to lead his troops to escape, but his troops were relatively forward. If he escaped, he could only run forward, and he might run into Fei Ruhe's main force.

    This guy was forced to fight to the death, and shouted: "End the formation, form the formation!"

    Shi Wangzheng's hundreds of confidantes formed an formation very quickly, not losing to the ordinary Datong army.

    However, except for the governor's pacesetter and the general's servant, the rest of the soldiers and civilian husbands were all scared out of their wits.  Seeing the thieves rushing closer and closer, the soldiers and civilian husbands collapsed instantly, and many simply jumped into the river and swam to the other side.

    In a blink of an eye, there were only more than 3,000 pacesetters and servants left, still trying to form a defensive formation by the river.

    However, as the soldiers and civilian husbands scattered and fled, the servants who were at the back were also rushed to pieces. The general was really bad, so he simply started to flee with his servants.

    Shen Youlong's pacesetter, Shi Wangzheng's servant, is indeed an elite, with sufficient food and wages at ordinary times, and willing to sacrifice his life in battle.

    Under the impact of the rout, these people were able to maintain their formation.

    They approached each other and gradually formed a large formation of more than 2,000 people by the river, just waiting for Zuo Shan's 500 soldiers to come and die.

    Then, there are so many routs that can be chased and killed, why did Zuo Shan go to attack the big formation?

    Zuo Shan will pursue whichever side has the most rout soldiers, and chase them away completely.  After the collapse is complete, don't even think about getting together again. At that time, the officers and soldiers will not have enough manpower to transport food.

    "There are only a few hundred thieves, kill them!" Shi Wangzheng gritted his teeth.

    "kill!"

    Shen Youlong also went all out.

    These two thousand people were indeed elite soldiers, and under the interference of the broken soldiers, they formed an formation and chased in the direction of Zuo Shan.

    It is not difficult to train this kind of elite soldiers. Usually, the rewards and punishments are clear, and the food and wages are sufficient. Shen Youlong even??Choose a more suitable ambush point.

    After walking like this for another day, Fei Ruhe led 1500 people and finally came along the mark left by Zuo Shan.

    "Where's the enemy army?" Fei Ruhe asked.

    "It's on the mountain in front of me, I've been following." Zuo Shan said with a smile.

    It is impossible to lose track. More than 2,000 officers and soldiers marched, and there must be traces along the way.  Zuo Shan sent 20 men to pursue in front, and the rest of the soldiers chased after half a mile. Even if they encountered an ambush, they would only lose 20 men.

    Seeing Fei Ruhe chasing with more than a thousand people, Shen Youlong began to line up on the col.

    He was about to be driven crazy. At this moment, he just wanted to have a good fight.

    Fei Ruhe was not in a hurry, he was exhausted after chasing him all the way, so he recovered his strength first.

    The two parties just waited for each other as if they had made an agreement, waiting for Fei Ruhe's soldiers to recover their strength.  Shen Youlong occupies a favorable terrain, and it is impossible to take the initiative to go down the mountain.

    Until an hour later, the battle was about to break out.

    Very fair, both sides have 500 firearms, this is a contest of hot weapons.

    After each lit the match, the rest of the troops all moved out of the way, and the firecrackers were the first to decide the winner.

    The Datong firecrackers were at a disadvantage. They were feinting to attack the mountain.

    "Fire the arrow!"

    Shi Wangzheng didn't talk about martial ethics, but even ordered the archers to stand on the mountain and shoot down.

    Swipe, swipe, swipe!

    Many arrows were blocked by the canopy, and a few arrows fell. A total of four Datong firearms soldiers were hit by arrows.  However, they wear bamboo hats and cotton armor, and are not afraid of bows and arrows.

    Shen Youlong shouted: "Don't let go of the gun at will, listen to my order, and shoot when you get closer!"

    The Datong firecrackers continued to walk up the mountain, and the official army's firecrackers began to get nervous.

    Shen Youlong's firecrackers were all trained three years ago, and they are invincible every time they fight.  Ordinary thieves, as long as they were shot by them, they would immediately collapse and flee in fright.

    But it is also because of this that they are well aware of the power of firecrackers, and are very afraid of shooting at enemy firecrackers.

    "boom!"

    The Datong firecrackers got closer and closer, and finally some of the firecrackers on the officer's side couldn't help but shoot.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    When one person shoots, the whole army immediately drives to shoot.

    They still fired in three rounds. Except for the third row, the first two rows fired all the ammunition.

    This is barely within the range, and the accuracy and power are greatly reduced.

    A Datong firearms soldier was shot and fell down suddenly. Unfortunately, he was hit in the face.  There were still a few firecrackers who were shot, but they were blocked by the cotton armor. If they advanced ten steps further, the cotton armor would definitely be pierced.

    "Quickly fill the medicine!"

    Shen Youlong didn't bother to reprimand those who fired in advance, and urged the soldiers to reload quickly.

    The officers and soldiers suddenly panicked, most of them started to scratch, and some even forgot the correct steps to reload.

    Swipe, swipe, swipe!

    Shi Wangzheng's archers fired another volley.

    The Datong firecrackers are still advancing.

    "Fire the gun!"

    Shen Youlong gave an order, and the gunfire soldiers in the third row of officers and soldiers immediately fired a decent volley.

    In an instant, six Datong soldiers fell to the ground. At such a close distance, even the cotton armor could not stop them.

    However, the remaining Datong firearms continued to advance.

    "Mom!"

    The officer firecrackers in the first two rows, after failing to reload their own ammunition, and seeing the enemy approaching, finally couldn't bear the pressure in their hearts, dropped their firecrackers, turned around and ran away.

    "Raise the gun!"

    "First row, shoot!"

    "Boom!"

    More than a hundred firecrackers fired at close range, instantly blasting the formation of officers and soldiers.

    Even without the second row firing in bursts, all the officers and soldiers fled.

    "Blow the horn!"

    Fei Ruhe shouted.

    "Doo toot toot toot toot toot toot toot~~~~~~"

    The charge horn sounded, the whole army rushed out, and the elite of more than 2,000 officers and soldiers finally broke up.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 254 [The Discredited Datong Army]

    Fei Ruhe looked at the corpse on the ground with complicated emotions.

    Shen Youlong, who blocked him for two months in Longchuan County, committed suicide very simply.  On the contrary, Shi Wangzheng, the deputy commander in chief, fled quickly after being defeated, and fled into the mountains and forests, making it difficult to search for him.

    "Look around again, don't miss a firecracker!"

    Fei Ruhe went back to clean the battlefield, looking at those firecrackers with bright eyes.

    They are all good blunderbuss made in Foshan. Shen Youlong ordered them with his own money. It is not a trick issued by the court.

    Shen Youlong's main force was destroyed, and there was no suspense in East Guangdong.

    Fei Ruhe went back outside Heyuan County and threw Shen Youlong's body at the gate of the city. The guard was so frightened that he ran away with his servants that night.

    Huizhou Prefecture, one state and ten counties.

    Chaozhou Prefecture, eleven counties.

    Of the twenty-two cities, except Huizhou Fucheng, which is still resisting, the rest are all waiting for Fei Ruhe to occupy.  The magistrates, prefectures, county magistrates, and defenders all ran away, and local officials could not even recruit township bravery to defend the city.

    Because of two consecutive years of disasters in Guangdong and another three years of military disasters, even the gentry and wealthy families were unwilling to fight again.

    Fei Ruhe didn't open for two months, and once he opened, he would be in the whole of eastern Guangdong.

    Especially in Chaozhou Prefecture, Fei Ruhe didn't even bother to occupy it. Not only was it time-consuming, but he also had to divide troops to garrison, and there were not so many officials to dispatch.  This guy directly led troops to Huizhou and surrounded the city tightly

    ?Guangzhou Prefecture, Nanhai County.

    Many merchants gathered together, including the Guan family, the Huang family, the Deng family, the Feng family, the Xie familythere was no Li family!

    Except for the Li family, everyone arrived three quarters of an hour earlier.

    "Are you ready?" Guan Jialun asked.

    Huang Scrophulariae said: "Foshan is ready, and we will do it tonight."

    "The Guan family is in charge of Nanhai County," Guan Jialun asked, "Where is the Guangzhou city?"

    Feng Yucheng said: "Several families have joined forces, and more than 600 people have entered the city one after another. Including the domestic slaves in the city and the Xiangyong guarding the city, it must be enough to take Guangzhou!"

    Feng Yucheng's family brother is Feng Yushun, who is the aide of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

    At the critical moment, he didn't care about the life and death of his relatives.

    Deng Yunqiu held the tea bowl and said, "I, the Deng family and the Xie family, promise to take down Xiangshan County. The lackeys of the Li family in Xiangshan County, if they can't escape this time, none of them will survive!"

    It is only one of the reasons why these Cantonese gentry and aristocrats want to resume trade as soon as possible.

    They also have a common enemy: the Li family!

    Today's Minister of the Household Department is called Li Daiwen, a native of Foshan, Guangdong.

    The Li family originally belonged to ordinary merchants, and they were inconspicuous among a group of rich merchants.  But in the Wanli Dynasty, Li Daiwen became the doctor of Wenxuan Division, and the Li clan quickly became arrogant.

    Li Chongwen, the younger brother of his family, not only sold ironware to foreigners, but also sold Guangzhou rice to disaster-stricken Fujian.

    At that time, there was also a small disaster in Guangzhou, and there was not enough food.  In order to make huge profits, Li Chongwen forcibly collected rice and shipped it to Fujian by sea, regardless of the life and death of the people in Guangzhou.  This move sparked a civil uprising, and the citizens of Guangzhou killed Liang Guolun and three others, all of whom were lackeys of Li Chongwen.

    The case was handled by Yan Junyan, a minor official with a great reputation.

    When Yan Junyan was a pusher in Guangzhou, he dealt with a large number of smugglers.  It's a pity that the Li family is too powerful, so he can only arrest Li Chongwen and punish him with a stick. At the same time, he requests to deprive Li Chongwen of his fame (Guozi Jiansheng).

    In desperation, Li Chongwen promoted Yan Junyan to Fujian through his clan brother Li Daiwen.

    As a result, Yan Junyan offended Xiong Wencan again in Fujian, and was sent by Xiong Wencan to appease Zheng Zhilong.  This move was not well-intentioned, hoping that Zheng Zhilong would kill Yan Junyan, but Yan Junyan succeeded in recruiting.

    Xiong Wencan was overjoyed immediately, and no longer hated Yan Junyan for offending him, and immediately put the credit on himself to repay the credit to the court.

    After Yan Junyan was transferred from Guangzhou, no one could control Li Chongwen, and he had to intervene in any product, which was tantamount to causing public outrage.  Because which one smuggled which product was agreed with each other, the Li family did not follow the rules at all.

    Li Chongwen not only didn't follow the rules, but also wanted to set his own rules. He colluded with the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and almost monopolized the export of ironware in Foshan Town.  Who dares to bypass Li's family to sell ironware, there is Li Daiwen in the court, and the governor in Guangdong, with the cooperation of internal and external, he will directly be convicted of treason.

    The ironware and grain trade has been completely controlled by the Li family, and a large number of merchants can only rely on the Li family.

    Today, it is still planning to control the export of porcelain and silk!

    Everyone waited and waited, but Li Chongwen just didn't show up, probably because he didn't dare to come to the appointment.

    &nb?, after occupying the city, they burned, killed and looted immediately, only the big households who participated in the uprising were not affected.

    In coastal areas, there are not only many gangsters and smugglers, but also a special profession of "crutches".

    Most of the time, they belong to the sea intermediary, lending money to the poor to go to sea by boat.  These poor people went to Nanyang to pay off their debts by working part-time.  There are also some crutches who directly kidnap and traffic people, sell women and young adults to Nanyang, or sell them to red-haired ghosts in Macau.

    In one day, the city of Guangzhou, Nanhai County, and Xiangshan County all changed, and the flag of Datong was planted on the towers.

    Because those guys robbed too hard and even insulted women, the suffering people in the city looked at the Datong military flag with resentment in their eyes!

    The people in the three cities don't know what the Great Harmony is all about, they only know that the bad guys are with Zhao Han.

    The merchants in the three cities sent messengers to the north to ask Zhang Tieniu to arrive as soon as possible.

    ? Lu Qian, the commander-in-chief stationed in Yingde, heard that the three cities of Guangzhou had been lost, and was so frightened that he ran to the western part of Guangdong overnight, otherwise he would be made dumplings again.

    At the same time, the defenders of Huizhou Fucheng also killed the generals and surrendered directly.

    Fei Ruhe occupied Guangzhou effortlessly, and then his face was as black as the bottom of the pot.  The people here regard the officers and soldiers of Datong as intruders, and some scholars even make up nursery rhymes, singing that Zhao Tianwang is a man-eating devil king.

    "Military Academy, the scholar who posted and exposed posts indiscriminately has been caught!"

    "Bring it in!"

    A scholar was brought before Fei Ruhe. He was arrested for posting big-character posters.

    Fei Ruhe asked: "Why did you expose the post and spread rumors?"

    "Bah!"

    The scholar spat on Fei Ruhe's face: "You burn, kill, rape and loot, you will be punished by God sooner or later!"

 Text 255 [Covenant of Township and Industrial Technology Revolution] (addition for Penguin boss)

    Three months ago, Ji'an Mansion.

    The army has already been sent out, Zhao Han stayed in Ji'an, and the military and political affairs were taken care of.

    Zhang Bingwen, the Jiangxi chief envoy, was officially promoted to one of the three chief secretaries, responsible for assisting Zhao Han in handling government affairs.  It's a bit like the cabinet ministers of Ming Dynasty, but there is a fundamental difference. Zhao Han's head secretary does not have the power to draft bills, and must be released after a long time.

    "Chief Township, here is a memorial to the magistrate of Anfu County, I am afraid that we should pay special attention to it." Zhang Bingwen handed over an official document.

    Zhao Han took it over and took a look. He was a little funny at first, but soon frowned.

    It was originally just a small case, and it happened at the end of last year.

    A soldier was rewarded for his meritorious service. When he returned home during the Chinese New Year, he brought back a copper bun for his wife.  This is the jewelry around the bun, and it is also decorated with wreaths, pearls or other decorations. Generally, only ladies are eligible to wear it.

    The soldier's wife used to be a servant girl of the landlord's family.

    She went out wearing jewelry during the Chinese New Year, showing off that it was made of gold, and happened to meet the former mistress.  The hostess satirized a few words, and the two sides had an altercation immediately, accompanied by the act of scratching each other's hair.

    The two cried and went to the village head. The village head asked them to apologize to each other and promised not to argue about it in the future.

    ?As a result, the two women were not convinced, and each took their families, and made a fuss with the mayor.

    One said that the other party insulted him first, and the other reported that the other party was wearing gold jewelry, which must have been snatched by the husband while fighting outside.

    The mayor did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked someone to inspect the goods, and found that it was copper.

    The matter should have ended here, and the woman who was born as a landlord suddenly clamored to abide by the township covenant.  Then, the group began to discuss seriously whether soldiers' wives were eligible to wear a bun according to the township agreement.

    In the end, the trouble went to the magistrate of Anfu County.

    The magistrate believes that the highest legal principles in Jiangxi should be based on the articles in "Datong Collection".  Even if there is a conflict between "Da Ming Law" and "Da Tong Ji", "Da Ming Law" should be sidelined, not to mention it is only a township agreement.

    Since the article in "Datong Ji" says that all peoples are equal in personality, ordinary women can also wear a bun.

    The letter written by the magistrate of Anfu County to Zhao Han did not discuss the case itself, but how to regulate and guide the township agreement.

    In the Ming and Qing dynasties, in the vast rural areas of China, there were no laws, only township agreements.

    Unless there is a fatality, the government doesn't care at all.

    Zhao Han put down the letter and asked, "Do you know when the Township Covenant appeared?"

    Zhang Bingwen cupped his hands and said: "The truth comes from "Zhou Li", and the real written text is "Lantian Lu's Township Convention". Zhu Zi highly respected this, and wrote it himself to "Increase and Lose Lu's Township Convention". In the early years of the Kingdom, Emperor Taizu  Promoting the drinking ceremony in the township, let the famous elders educate the people, and let the elders handle the disputes in the villages and towns. The elders can also be regarded as a kind of village agreement.  It was included in the "Encyclopedia of Xing Li" and then spread to the world. As for the real implementation, it is actually through Yangming's theory of mind."

    "What does this have to do with Duke Yangming?" Zhao Han really didn't know.

    Zhang Bingwen explained: "During the Zhengde period, the atmosphere was corrupt. Taizu's village drinking ceremony has existed in name only, and those village elders are no longer virtuous, but instead take the lead in oppressing the people."

    ? To put it more clearly, Zhu Yuanzhang used the village elders, grain chiefs, and village chiefs to rule the countryside.  With the development of society and economy, in the mid-Ming Dynasty, these grassroots ruling forces were completely corrupted.

    Zhang Bingwen went on to say: "When Duke Yangming suppressed bandits in southern Jiangxi, he had to educate the people in southern Jiangxi besides lightly paying taxes, resettling refugees, and exterminating bandits. Therefore, Duke Yangming formulated the Baojia system based on the "Lü Family Township Treaty"  "As the original, let every Baojia sign a township treaty. Southern Jiangxi was ruled by this, and later Yang Minggong's disciples became officials, and followed this method in various places. However, instead of using Baojia, they called together the local clans and made an oath together.  Township agreement."

    "This method works well. During the Jiajing period, the imperial court ordered it to be popularized throughout the world."

    ? Wang Yangming's influence is not just about pioneering the study of mind and pacifying bandits.  His Baojia and Township Treaty Law continued until the Republic of China, building a Chinese rural political ecology for hundreds of years.

    After the township treaty was enacted, although the gentry and rich families still made troubles, most of them had to abide by the township treaty on the surface.

    That is to say, if the gentry and aristocrats are making troubles, the basic rules must still be followed, and if they break the bottom line, they will be stabbed in the back by the villagers.

    In addition, Wang Yangming's township covenant also influenced the formulation of family rules for hundreds of years in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

    Township agreement can be understood as an enlarged version of family rules, which are enforced under the Baojia system.  Or, the big local households voluntarily join in and pledge to abide by their agreement together.

    &However, this thing must have flaws, and the sliver must be rubbed by hand first.  Secondly, the spun cotton yarn is very thick and cannot be used to weave fine cotton cloth, but can only be used to weave some coarse cotton cloth.

    In a word, the positioning is the low-end market, which can produce thick cotton yarn in large quantities!

    Zhao Han was very satisfied, and said to Chen Xisong: "Continue to improve in the future, and this time you will be rewarded with ten taels of silver. In addition, within five years, other merchants who use this spinning machine must give you a sum of silver every year, otherwise  They will be confiscated by the government!"

    "Thank you, Chief Town!" Chen Xisong was overjoyed, the Chen family was about to get rich.

    In ancient times, there was no concept of patents. If it was an ordinary spinning machine, it would be difficult for Zhao Han to manage it.

    But the water conservancy spinning machine is different. It is too big, so check it out for sure.

    ?Giving Chen Xisong the invention patent right can stimulate craftsmen to invent and promote the spinning wheel.  For the benefit of the Chen family, they must take the initiative to promote it, and only hope that the whole Jiangxi will use this kind of machine.

    Zhao Han is very happy, the industrial technology revolution seems to have begun.

 Text 256【Coin Minting Plan】

    The salary of the village head is set at two buckets of rice per month, which is more than 30 catties, enough to feed a strong rural laborer.

    I can only feed myself and cannot support my family.

    Because the village chief spends most of his time farming by himself.

    ? Persuading people to collect food and organizing road construction, these activities are all in the slack season, so there is nothing to do.

    As for mediating disputes, I went with a bowl during meal time, and the disputes can be settled while grilling rice.  If you are big-hearted, you can let the villagers do it first, and then talk about it after you finish the meal.

    This level of salary is equivalent to raising one more teacher per village.

    By the way, the salaries of rural teachers are now supported by the villagers of each village, mainly to relieve financial pressure.  You may question that this is not compulsory education, but this is how New China came about. Farmers are willing to support teachers in their own villages, and they respect teachers very much.

    Even so, the financial expenditure is still too large, because this year we have to provide relief to the disaster-stricken people in Huguang and Guangdong, and we have to immigrate a large number of people to areas where the military disaster was serious.

    "The Baoquan bureau has been built, and several kinds of money molds have been made, and we can start casting money this month."

    Fei Chun and Song Yingxing came to find Zhao Han to discuss matters, and they also pulled Li Banghua and Huang Shunfu.

    Fei Chun said: "The Department of Finance and the Department of Government Affairs have disputes over which kind of money should be minted more. To be honest, there is no way to discuss this issue. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

    "You can't make too many ten coins, otherwise the people will suffer." Huang Shunfu, who is in charge of the Department of Government Affairs, said.

    Fei Chun argued: "Even if you don't mint ten coins, you should mint five more. Otherwise, if you mint flat coins or two coins, we will lose as much as you cast!"

    Li Banghua suggested: "It's too much to exploit the common people by discounting ten coins, and it is bound to lose money if it is equal to two coins. In my opinion, let's discount five coins for all castings, and it is announced that all grain stores will not accept ten discounts."

    "If the grain bank announces that it won't accept 10% off, who will use it? The 10% off in the hands of ordinary people will be thrown into their hands?" Huang Shunfu is concerned about people's livelihood.

    Fei Chun said angrily: "If we accept it, Chongzhen will keep casting it. Why should we be used to Chongzhen?"

    The two chief officials of finance and civil affairs quarreled right in front of Zhao Han, and each had their own reasons.

    The root cause was the financial distress of the Ming court, so printing money became more and more outrageous, divided into flat money, two-fold, five-fold, and fourteen-fold.  Not only are the denominations of copper coins getting bigger and bigger, but the quality is getting worse and worse, which leads to a crazy decline in the purchasing power of copper coins.

    Coupled with the deflation of silver, the current copper-silver exchange ratio is very outrageous in some places, and one tael of silver can even be exchanged for four thousand copper coins!

    If Zhao Han's Baoquan Mint dared to mint a large number of flat coins and double coins, it would definitely lose as much as it minted.  The better the quality and the smaller the currency value, the more merchants like it. They must sweep up the goods in the market, store all the good money, and then let Chongzhen's bad money circulate in the market.

    This is a typical example of bad money driving out good money!

    And there is no solution, because the circulation of Chongzhen's rotten money is too large.  First, Zhao Han's coinage is too small to hold Chongzhen Tongbao; second, the circulation of Chongzhen Tongbao cannot be directly banned, otherwise Zhao Han's territory will fall into economic chaos.

    After all these people had finished arguing, Zhao Han made a final decision: "Baoquan Bureau casts coins, and I have three requirements. First, a large amount of castings will be discounted at five coins, and a small amount of castings will be discounted at two coins. The quality of coins is comparable to that of Nanjing in the fourth year of Chongzhen;  Second, use the current money models first, and immediately start making new models. It is still called Chongzhen Tongbao, but the word "Datong in the World" must be added;  "

    The quality of Nanjing copper coins in Chongzhen four years is worse than that of Beijing coins in the same period, but much better than that of later ones. It can be regarded as a medium-valued copper coin.

    As for still casting Chongzhen Tongbao, it is mainly to facilitate circulation in other provinces.

    Adding the words "Datong under heaven" does not hinder the use of copper coins.

    At the end of the Chongzhen period, there was also a kind of copper coin, which was of very poor quality and was cast with a galloping horse pattern, commonly known as "Racing Horse Chongzhen".  This is a kind of private money. Some people think that it was minted by Li Zicheng. It is normal for Chuang Wang to ride a horse.  When a horse enters the gate, it is a breakthrough. When a horse breaks into the Forbidden City, Li Zicheng will destroy the world.

    Huang Shunfu reminded: "In the town, if the food store refuses to accept the discount, I am afraid that Jiangxi folks will need 6,000 to 8,000 cash to exchange for one tael of silver."

    "Even so, I still have to reject it," Fei Chun immediately snapped back, "Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. We can't keep letting Chongzhen mint money to suck our blood. This is also sucking the blood of the people of Jiangxi. If we let it circulate again, Chongzhen is afraid that he will be able to make a lot of money worth hundreds of words!"

    Zhao Han stopped and said: "Okay, don't say any more, it's settled like this. As for the people who have a ten-dollar discount in their hands, they can only consider themselves unlucky, and we will alsoThe significance brought by Guangdong can not only intervene in maritime trade, but also alleviate the silver shortage.

    ?From the mid-Ming Dynasty, a large amount of silver flowed into China.

    It is hard to say whether there is inflation or not, because the economy of Ming Dynasty was also developing at a high speed at that time, and the rise of prices is certain.  Especially in the Jiangnan prefectures, the social economy is constantly increasing, and if prices do not rise, there will be problems.

    Many of these silvers flowed into the cellars of rich merchants, which also promoted the industrial and commercial upgrading of the various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.

    However, after Zhang Juzheng's reform, instead of inflation, there was a shortage of silver in all parts of the country, because the government only collected silver for taxes.

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Spanish Empire declined, and the inflow of silver decreased, and now there is a general silver shortage.

    ?On the one hand, silver is scarce, and on the other hand, copper coins are indiscriminately minted, resulting in an increasingly outrageous exchange ratio between silver and copper coins.

    According to the statistics of later generations, in only four years of Chongzhen, the silver imported from the Philippines to Macau was as high as 14 million taels.  Regardless of whether the data is true or not, one thing is certain, Macau is the main silver importer of Ming Dynasty.

    As long as Guangzhou is occupied, the silver shortage under Zhao Han's rule can be alleviated, and the impact of Chongzhen's indiscriminate issuance of copper coins can also be slightly offset.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 257 [Military ticket?  banknotes?  】

    "This is the first batch of minted coins, please take a look at them!" Fei Chun came in with two strings of copper coins.

    Zhao Han took it closer and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing, the imitation of this thing is too realistic.

    Except for the slight difference in color, it is exactly the same as the copper coins cast in Nanjing.  As for the "Chongzhen Tongbao Datong Money in the World", the money molds are still being made, and casting can start in two months.

    Zhao Han nodded in approval: "Not bad."

    Fei Chun handed over another stack of paper tickets: "This is the first batch of military tickets."

    Zhao Han didn't dare to issue banknotes rashly, mainly Zhu Yuanzhang's Daming Banknotes, which had completely ruined the reputation of banknotes.

    Daming treasure banknotes, print as much as you want.  Moreover, after the damage, the government refused to accept the account at all, and did not exchange the old coins for new coins, which caused complaints from all officials, civilians and merchants.

    With this kind of lessons learned, ordinary people are afraid when they see banknotes.

    Therefore, Zhao Han only dared to print military tickets, which were only used in the army.  Soldiers are paid and issued directly to military tickets, which can be exchanged for food at any time and any place in the official food bank.

    In this way, it will be convenient for frontline soldiers to pay their salaries during the war.

    Moreover, it is very convenient for soldiers to carry it. They can return home after the battle and take the military ticket to the food store in their hometown to exchange for food.

    The material of the military ticket follows the Daming banknote.

    ?The main material is mulberry paper, and the auxiliary material is waste and recycled official document paper.  The two kinds of paper are mixed together to make pulp, which is blue-gray in color, thick and durable.

    There are many kinds of anti-counterfeiting signs——

    First, micro-carving.  Ask the master of micro-carving to finely carve patterns on the printing plate.

    Second, color printing.  Red, blue, and black three-color overprinting was done by Jiaozi in the Song Dynasty.

    Third, watermark.  The watermarking method originated in the Tang Dynasty. There are two types of bright flowers and dark flowers. Modern banknotes still retain watermarks for anti-counterfeiting.  The military ticket of the Datong Army uses the dark flower watermark method.

    Fourth, the seal.  On the military ticket, there must be the seals of the three major agencies of the Financial Secretary, the Public Works Department, and the Military Academy. If there is one less seal, it will be a waste ticket, and cinnabar ink pad is used.  In addition, the main pattern of the military ticket is also made of special ink, which is added with lead sulfide, which is also the anti-counterfeiting symbol of Daming banknotes.

    Moreover, as long as the military ticket is genuine, even if it is soaked in water, the grain bank must admit it.  If it is torn into several pieces, as long as more than 60% of it is complete, it must be counted as a whole ticket.

    When the military ticket system is in operation, a lot of transportation consumption can be saved, and more grain stocks can be kept at the same time.

    After credit is established, civilians are likely to use military tickets as banknotes.

    Zhao Han put down the military ticket, and said: "Since the money has started to be minted, the grain store will be changed to the money and grain store in the future. Especially the 'World Datong money' can be exchanged at the money and grain store after circulation."

    The food bank under the Financial Secretary can't exchange copper coins now, but only accepts silver and grain. Chongzhen Tongbao is really disgusting.

    After the "Tianxia Datong Money" is issued, the copper coin business can be increased.

    Everything has to be perfected step by step.

    ? When the reform of the currency value is completed and the banking system is established, the Qianliang Bank must be separated from the Financial Secretary and be directly managed by the central government.

    After half a month, the salary will be paid at the beginning of the month.

    The personal guards of the Ji'an General Military Mansion became the first batch of soldiers to lead the military ticket.

    These people held a stack of paper notes, although they understood how to use them, and even though they trusted Zhao Han, they still couldn't help feeling guilty.

    "Can this ticket really be exchanged for food?"

    "Will the general town still lie to us?"

    "Would you liketo try?"

    ""

    Several soldiers took advantage of their rotations and went to the food store in Fucheng together.

    "In exchange for food!" A soldier took out his military ticket.

    The grain official asked, "How much?"

    The soldier said, "Change all."

    The denominations of military tickets are one dou, two dou, five dou and one stone.

    I saw that the grain bank began to move out grain, and it was obvious that it could be cashed in.

    The soldier suddenly laughed and said, "No more, no more, I don't have time to take it home."

    The officials of the grain line looked depressed, but they didn't dare to offend the soldiers, so they could only turn around and complain quietly.

    The soldiers were very happy. There were food stores in their hometowns, and there was a line in every three towns.  From now on, when visiting relatives during holidays, you can just bring your military ticket, you don't need to exchange money in Fucheng, and you don't need to carry a big bag of grain on the road.

    The military ticket is the first step, and the official ticket will be issued next.

    ?Because of the shortage of silver, military salaries are calculated in terms of food, but officialsThe front line soldiers work hard.  "Zhao Han is very happy.

    Suddenly, Zhao Han asked again: "Yuyao is not far from Fenghua, did my cousin know about Zhu Zhiyu (Zhu Shunshui)?"

    "When I left Fenghua, I made a special trip to visit," Hu Mengtai said. "In the past few years, he has been studying with peace of mind, and he is not limited to Neo-Confucianism and Mind-learning. Now he advocates practical learning, farming, construction, medicine, water conservancy  He also said to me that the way of learning is to practice, and the learning of sages and sages must be practiced. Scholars should learn the truth and apply what they have learned.”

    "Haha, that's a good point." Zhao Han laughed.

    Zhu Shunshui in Hanzhu Mountain was only a semi-finished product, but now it has finally evolved into a complete version.

    Zhao Han planned to write a letter asking Xu Ying to send someone to Yuyao to invite Zhu Shunshui to be an official or a teacher.

    Of course, it may not be possible to invite him. Chongzhen ordered him to be an official, but Zhu Shunshui shirked and refused.

    The three of them were drinking tea and chatting vigorously, when suddenly a guard came in and reported: "General Town, there is an urgent military situation from Guangdong!"

    "bring here."

    This military information came from Zhang Tieniu, who reported that tens of thousands of people in Ba Pai Yao had rebelled, and they wanted to present a woman to Zhao Hanjin.

    It must have been ghostwritten by the mission officer in the army, who made the story of Ba Pai Yao very clear.

    Zhao Han felt extremely novel. In his established impression, the Yao tribe should be a chieftain system.  It never occurred to me that the electoral system was actually implemented, and the "committee members" were elected first, and then other leaders were elected from the committee, and they knew that they would change every two years.

    The missionary officer also said that the Yao people can be appeased and treated kindly, and let them teach terraced field technology.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 258 [Concubinage is a political task] (addition for the penguin gangster)

    ,

    Ba Pai Yao sent a group of envoys, a total of 32 people.

    Twenty-four punches in eight rows, one for each family.

    Pan Maiwei from Youling Pai was elected as the interim leader and was received in the lobby of the General Military Mansion.

    There are four rows of stools in the lobby, and Pan Maiwei sits in the center of the first row.  From time to time, he whispered to the leaders from Nangang Pai and Hengkeng Pai, and after a few words, he looked forward to see if Zhao Tianwang had come.

    Suddenly, a young man walked out of the door. These Yao envoys didn't take it seriously, thinking that he was an ordinary official of the General Military Mansion.

    An ordinary official, all tall and handsome, is worthy of Zhao Tianwang's residence, and there are indeed a lot of talents!

    The young man walked in a few steps, and suddenly said: "Move the chairs into the hall, what does it look like high above?"

    Immediately, someone took action and moved the chairs from the upper hall to the lower hall, which was at the same height as the seats of the Yao envoys.

    Pan Maiwei asked the translator in Cantonese: "What did he say?"

    The translator immediately paraphrased.

    Pan Maiwei nodded with a smile, and said to the people next to him: "This young man is very nice, and he doesn't look down on us like other Han people. When I see King Zhao Tianwang, I must praise this young man and hope that he will do better in the future.  official."

    Suddenly, the young man clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I am Zhao Han, the rumored king of Zhao. Welcome all Yao brothers to visit Ji'an."

    ? The translation repeats in Cantonese.

    King Zhao?

    Pan Maiwei was stunned for a moment, and then looked around, the other bosses couldn't believe it either.

    Everyone stood up quickly.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Everyone, sit down and talk."

    "Meet Zhao Tianwang!"

    Pan Maiwei took the lead in kneeling, and everyone knelt down in unison.  They have never been forced to kneel by Han officials before, but this time they were not forced, but kneeled willingly.

    Because Zhao Han took the initiative to move the chairs down to be at the same height as their seats, this small move was enough.

    Zhao Han said: "Please hurry up, everyone. Under my rule, as long as you abide by the law, there is no distinction between high and low. Han people are equal to Han people, and Han people are equal to Yao people. You and I are brothers."

    Hearing these words, Pan Maiwei was a little excited, and at the same time, it seemed to be a slap in the face, and he shouted again: "Meet Brother Zhao!"

    "Meet Elder Brother Zhao!" Everyone shouted in unison.

    The translator said: "Chief Town, they are calling you elder brother."

    Interesting, Zhao Han couldn't help giving this person a high look with a smile on his face.

    As expected of being elected as the leader of the envoys, this guy turned his mind really fast, he quickly brought the relationship closer, and even killed the principle of equality between the Yao people and the Han people.

    "Sit down." Zhao Han smiled.

    Everyone sat down in unison, very disciplined.

    After chatting for a while, Zhao Han asked, "How is the harvest this year?"

    Pan Maiwei replied: "This year's harvest was mediocre, but last year's harvest was very bad. The weather was dry and severe, the terraced fields had no water, and life in the row could not go on. The dog officials even came to urge the field tax, and the harvest is getting better every year.  Many, but they were all driven away by us."

    Zhao Han sighed: "Corrupt officials are so bad, and I was also forced to rebel by corrupt officials. I understand your difficulties."

    "If elder brother becomes the emperor, everyone will have a good life in the future." Pan Maiwei flattered.

    Zhao Han asked about the electoral system of Ba Pai Yao again. After listening for a long time, he suddenly asked: "Is this how the Yao people in Guangdong elect their leaders?"

    Pan Maiwei shook his head and said: "The Yao people are different from the Yao people. We Ba Pai Yao are close to the Han people, and we have to serve the government as corvee. The Han people sometimes call us 'Ting Zhao Yao' and 'Ting Tiao Yao', just like us  It’s like a tamed dog. There are still many mountain Yaos in Guangdong. They don’t know how to grow terraced fields, and they always set fire to the mountains to grow food. Every year or two, they have to change to another mountain. The leader of the mountain Yaos is not elected.  .”

    "Why do you want to elect a leader?" Zhao Han asked again.

    Pan Maiwei replied: "If you don't choose a leader, how will you arrange for the release of water? How will you manage the flushing?"

    Zhao Han instantly understood that the terraced fields are the lifeblood of Ba Pai Yao, and the irrigation of the terraced fields must be highly disciplined.  Whichever family's fields do not obey the management will affect a large area, and the hereditary system of chiefs will inevitably bring about favoritism.

    Therefore, their leaders need to be elected to ensure that the terraces of each family can be produced normally.

    The Guoshan Yao are different, they have been farming for a long time and constantly migrating.  In this mode of life and production, the leader must not be elected, otherwise there will be countless chaos.

    There is no best system, only the most suitable system!

    &It must be formulated by Zhao Han himself, and others simply don't know how to do it.

    In the Song and Ming dynasties, there was also a monopoly system, but it was fundamentally different from the patent system.

    The monopoly system focuses on state control, such as the monopoly of commodities such as salt, iron, tea, and alum.  Among them, there is a small amount of technology monopoly, which is relatively close to patents.

    The patent system focuses on encouraging research and development and ensuring the interests of technology developers.

    First of all, a patent office must be set up in the Department of Public Works.

    It is also necessary to formulate examination standards, that is, how to judge patents, and you can't just take something and stamp it.

    All these things have to be explored slowly, so we take the hydraulic spinning machine as the experimental product and slowly make adjustments during the patent implementation process.

    Zhao Han decided to set two patent protection periods, and patent holders can choose by themselves.

    The first type is valid for ten years from the date of patent approval.

    ?The second type is valid for five years from the date of obtaining benefits from the patent.

    After completing the preparation of the "Patent Law", Zhao Han finally gave the Yao people an answer a few days later, agreeing to marry a Yao woman.

    At this moment, Zhao Han received a letter from Fei Ruhe.

    Fei Ruhe had already stationed troops in Guangzhou, but the merchants there were too powerful, so he didn't dare to deal with them lightly, for fear of causing a series of unknown reactions.

    Thinking about Macau, Zhao Han decided to go to Guangzhou himself.

    ? Not only to deal with Guangzhou merchants, but also to meet the Portuguese and Zheng Zhilong.?

 Body 259【Playing Mahjong】

    Although there are differences among the Yao people, they may not even understand the language.  But as long as Zhao Han accepts a Yao girl, he will definitely be able to get closer to all the Yao people, at least one more bond to bring the ethnic relationship closer!

    In the Ming Dynasty, there were 857 Yao Mountains and 26 Yao Villages in Guangdong Province.

    This data has not counted the 43 Yaoshan Mountains in Huaiji County, because Huaiji County belonged to Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty.

    ? If you want to consolidate the rule of Guangdong, the Yao people must be appeased, and marriage is the fastest way.

    And those who are familiar with Yao, if they are willing to register as Qimin, they should be treated normally, and they cannot be discriminated against at will.

    The productivity of the mature Yao people is not low. They not only master the terraced field technology, but also "focus on farming and weaving" according to historical records, especially good at weaving "Yao brocade".  During the Zhengde period, they rebelled and even made their own Lvgong chariot to attack the city. Many Chinese craftsmen could not make that thing.

    Traveling south by boat, Zhao Han chatted with the Yao envoys all the way.

    Then he was surprised to find that there are still Yao villages in Guangdong, and there are also big landlords in Yao villages.

    Of course, these Yao villages are the first to be used for surgery. Apart from retaining the customs, they have been almost Sinicized, and even most of the Yao people can speak Cantonese.  Directly hit the landlords to divide the land, and then build a school, and you can immediately reap the hearts of the Yao people at the bottom!

    "Brother," Pan Maiwei suggested, "in the future, Yao officials should not be appointed by military generals, nor by people who spend money to buy officials. They are all very bad. Every time the Yao people rebel,  It was these bad officials who forced it."

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "I know all about it."

    Yaoguan is a common name, belonging to the state government and county government, and most of the official positions are governors and master books.  They have no other power to rule the Yao people full-time.

    There are three main sources:

    First, individual Yao people attached to the government.

    Second, appease or quell the Han Chinese who have been in chaos in Yao.

    Third, the local Han people who spend money to buy officials.

    No matter which one, once you become a Yao official, you will crazily exploit the Yao people.

    This phenomenon also exists in other ethnic minorities, who have been oppressed for a long time.

    After careful consideration, Zhao Han decided to appoint "Tianchang Gong" as Yaochang.

    The powerful Yaozhang is similar to the mayor of the town; the weak Yaozhang is similar to the village head.

    At the same time, in the state government and county government, there are special "pro-Yao officials".  After the school is established, everything will be on the right track, and the teachers of the schools in the Yao district will be promoted as pro-Yao officials first.

    ? After disembarking in southern Jiangxi, Zhao Han crossed Meiling and arrived at Nanxiong Mansion in northern Guangdong. Chen Maosheng had been waiting for a long time.

    Continue to go south by boat.

    In the cabin, Zhao Han discussed the Yao nationality issue with Chen Maosheng, and then discussed the large number of Hakka people.

    Chen Maosheng said: "The Hakka people believe in feng shui, but if they can't find a feng shui treasure, they would rather not bury their coffins. In addition, there are also phenomena such as selling graves and stealing burials, fighting for mountains and dragons, and repeated burials. Some time ago  , Liu Zhu led 3,000 people to attack Xingning, and Xingning's defenders were only 3,000, and there were only 6,000 people in a big battle. At that time, the Hakka people in Xingning were also fighting. In order to fight for a cemetery, the two sides dispatched a total of 5,000 people  Many people."

    Zhao Han couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this.

    The two battles were fought at the same time, both with a scale of about 6,000 people.  One battle is for the county seat, and the other is for the cemetery.

    Chen Maosheng also said: "Not only in Guangdong, the Hakka people also brought the bad customs of Fengshui to Jiangxi, and brought the locals of Jiangxi to ruin. The school in Ganzhou taught sages and sages, and they moved three times in a century.  It is out of Feng Shui considerations. As long as Ganzhou does not have a Jinshi for many years, the local gentry will relocate the address of the school in series."

    Zhao Han asked: "How do you think this vulgar custom should be combated?"

    ? Chen Maosheng said: "The first is to legislate, and the second is to educate."

    ?Including Chen Maosheng, many outsiders can't understand why the people in southern Jiangxi, western Fujian, and northeastern Guangdong stop their coffins and relocate them many times.

    Some people's parents died, and they couldn't find a geomantic place where they could put the coffin for ten years.  There are also some people who, when they find a better cemetery, dig out their parents and rebury them, five or six times.  These practices have seriously violated traditional moral concepts, because it is generally believed that "it is safe to bury in the ground."

    "Selling graves and stealing burials" is even more disgusting. Dig out the bones from other graves and bury the bones of your own relatives quietly, so that you can occupy this geomantic treasure land, and it is rumored that you can also take away the luck of the original grave owner's family.

    Zhao Han handed over the "Big Fellowship Covenant": "Add a few articles yourself, and add items specifically for non-burial and re-burial."

    Chen Maosheng flipped through a few pages and said with a smile: "This thing is very good."

    Zhao Han said again: "It is necessary to rectify"Zhang Bingwen and Hu Mengtai looked at each other, both sighing.

    If he seized the world, Zhao Han would be the emperor, and Chen Maosheng would be the Minister of Rites.  But these two play cards, and the gambling money is calculated by "literature". Who can be so honest and frugal among rebels in ancient and modern times?

    And those northwestern rogues, when they captured Fengyang, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng fell out because they robbed eunuchs and ritual and music supplies.

    Comparing the two, we know that Zhao Han is capable of ruling the world.

    "Touch! Eight ropes."

    "Don't worry, I'm fooling around! Hahahaha!"

    There were bursts of laughter on the deck, and the fleet sailed towards Shaozhou Mansion, and the envoys of the Yao nationality were all on the boat behind.

    Today's cloudy weather, no sun, sweltering heat.

    Zhao Han's vest was drenched with sweat, but he was very happy. He was waiting to go to Guangzhou to deal with the merchants, and he personally wooed Zheng Zhilong by the way.

    As for Ba Pai Yao, tens of thousands of rebels have dispersed, and each row is rushing to the beauty pageant. They want to choose the most beautiful Sha Yaomei.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 260 [Clan Power]

    The most beautiful waist girl in Ba Pai Yao is still in the election.

    This matter was very lively. First, the "dragons" were elected, and then the winners of each "rush" and "platoon" were contested, and finally the eight rows of 24 rushes competed.

    It is impossible for Zhao Han to wait slowly and continue to go south by boat all the way.

    After passing Qingyuan, the fleet stopped at Southwest Water Station in Sanshui County.  The name is Southwest Water Station, and the town is called Southwest Town.

    ? Rest for one night, then set off the next day to go overland.

    Zhao Han was sitting in the carriage and only traveled two miles when the coachman stepped on the brakes suddenly: "Yu! Yu! Yu!"

    "What's wrong?" Zhao Han opened the curtain and asked.

    "There is someone in front!"

    "Hurry up and protect the main town!"

    "Array! Array!"

    The soldiers moved quickly and surrounded Zhao Han's carriage.

    Zhao Han stepped out of the carriage, stood beside the coachman and watched, but saw hundreds of peasants kneeling in front of him.

    "Don't panic, get out of the way."

    Although Zhao Han said so, the moment he passed the guards, he couldn't help reaching out and pressing the handle of the knife.

    Those peasants knelt down for a long time, seeing that Zhao Han was still refusing to go over, so they got up, ran for a certain distance and knelt down again.

    "Zhao Tianwang, you have been wronged!"

    "Please ask Zhao Tianwang to be the master of the people!"

    ""

    Being able to wait on the road to cry for grievances, and to gather hundreds of people, at least two problems are explained: first, the postmen at the Southwest Water Post secretly reported to these peasants;  .

    Zhao Han arrived at Southwest Water Station yesterday afternoon, and spent half an afternoon plus one night, organizing hundreds of farmers to stop him.  These peasants were a force in the first place, Zhao Han couldn't possibly listen to what they said!

    However, Zhao Han had a pleasant face and said with a smile: "If you have any grievances, push a leader to come over and talk."

    A man in his thirties stood up and took a few steps, then knelt down in front of Zhao Han: "Zhao Tianwang, the Caomin is Chen Fushun, a villager from Shitang Village"

    Zhao Han was able to guess a few words in Cantonese, but he was completely blinded by a long sentence.

    The accompanying interpreter came to Zhao Han and scolded, "Say it sentence by sentence!"

    This person stated for a long time, and finally explained the cause and effect clearly, but it was an old case that happened last year.

    For the convenience of understanding, the two villages are called Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village.

    ?The drought was severe last year, and Shanghe Village cut off the river to irrigate the paddy fields.  Xiahe Village was not angry, and went to fight for water, and more than 20 people were injured.

    When the complaint was made to the government, the county magistrate refused to file the case.

    Because according to Zhu Yuanzhang's "Jiaomin Bangwen", such disputes in the countryside cannot be reported to the officials at will, but must be handed over to the villagers for judgment.  If you go around the old man and sue the officials, you will be punished with a staff of sixty, and it will be returned to the old man for judgment.

    So, the Xiahe villagers who were robbed of water and injured more than 20 people had another meal at the magistrate.  The elders in Shanghe Village are more powerful, and Xiahe Village lost its water source, was injured by others, and finally had to chip in to pay for the soup and medicine.

    It's not over!

    During the autumn harvest season, the rice production in Xiahe Village was reduced by more than 70%, but Shanghe Village was not affected much.  As a result, the villagers of Xiahe Village mobilized collectively and went directly to the threshing ground to grab grain.

    This move caught Kawamura by surprise.

    A few days later, Shanghe Village summoned people to retaliate, and Xiahe Village suffered a big loss, so Xiahe Village called up people again.  For several consecutive rounds, more and more people participated in the fighting, and finally a battle broke out between the two sides with more than 3,000 people, involving a total of four villages.

    More than fifty people died!

    The county magistrate finally made a move, regardless of indiscrimination, both sides of the fighting arrested ten people, and executed them after autumn.

    Both parties refused to accept it, so they went to the Xunyan Yushi to redress their grievances, and the Xunyan Yushi took the case to Dali Temple.  However, the inspector censor was also on the sidelines, and when more than 50 people died in the fighting, only six people were reported dead, and he also spoke for Shanghe Village.

    Just because in Shanghe Village, someone is a high official in the imperial court.

    In the end, Dali Temple asked the magistrate to retrial.  In Shanghe Village, only one person was beheaded, and the remaining nine people were acquitted, while in Xiahe Village, ten people were executed.

    "Zhao Tianwang, please judge," Chen Fushun said, "Our village was first robbed of water, and then injured. Even if the robbing of food was wrong, we were forced by extreme hunger. Even if each of us gave fifty boards, we  I also recognized it. How come they only killed one, and our village killed ten! The Ming court is so corrupt, from now on, our village will only recognize Zhao Tianwang, and ask Zhao Tianwang to be the master!"

    "I beg King Zhao to be the master!" Hundreds of farmers knelt down and shouted.

    &nbsDuring this period, Chen Fushun was very angry again.

    Why do ordinary tenants have the same number of acres as he gets?  Obviously this is his clan field, and his blood relationship is much closer.

    Soon, Chen Fushun's anger went out again.  Because he discovered that the property allocated to the clan's children was actually the same as his own.  Isn't this psychologically balanced?

    Not only psychologically balanced, but also secretly happy.

    Soon he became jealous again, because the disciples of the sect could be assigned to the store.  The number of shops in the town is very small, so it is definitely not enough, but the children of the clan who have not been allocated can also be allocated a part of the floating wealth.

    The whole process of dividing the fields seemed extremely strange.

    Except for the non-clan tenants who are only happy, everyone else is both happy and dissatisfied.  Because they all got benefits, they didn't hate Zhao Han, but hated each other.

    These two villages were purely at gunpoint, and Liwei was killed by Zhao Han.

    It is impossible to kill and divide the land like this in Guangdong. Zhao Han plans to forcibly immigrate to Huguang for the remaining rich families.  Some of the rich families in Huguang will also break up and move to other states and counties. Anyway, some states and counties in Huguang are extremely short of population.

    Zhao Han handed over the work of dividing the fields in the two "demonstration villages" to Chen Maosheng, while he himself went to Guangzhou to communicate with merchants.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 261 [Macao can be taken back without food] (addition for the penguin boss)

    ,

    In the Ming Dynasty, Guangzhou City was expanded three times, basically comparable to the old city of Guangzhou in later generations.

    However, the Pearl River in the late Ming Dynasty was very wide, and its bank was in the Taipingsha area.  The river in the south of Guangzhou is as wide as 700 meters, but only 150 meters (the old city) remains after hundreds of years, which is the result of continuous accumulation of sediment.

    Zhao Han changed ships halfway and arrived in Guangzhou. Countless merchants were already waiting at the pier.

    All these merchants want to know what Zhao Han thinks of Haimao!

    It doesn't really matter whether you open the sea or not.  Because they are the ones who oppose the opening of the sea, and they are also the ones who oppose the ban on the sea. This statement seems to be contradictory.

    Oppose to open the sea because they are afraid of losing their monopoly on trade.

    Opposing the sea ban is against the sea ban being too strict, making it difficult for them to smuggle.

    While implementing the sea ban, while condoning smuggling, this is the situation that merchants most hope to see.

    "Meet Zhao Zongzhen!"

    Hundreds of merchants, large and small, knelt down in unison to welcome Zhao Han to disembark at the pier.

    The business travelers and common people who came and went looked around curiously.

    The common people looked at Zhao Han, and finally they didn't feel so resentful. Of course, Fei Ruhe did something.

    Zhao Han smiled all over his face: "Haha, please rise up, everyone. You have made great contributions to the city, and you should be rewarded greatly!"

    "Don't dare, dare not."

    The merchants stood up one after another, and declined one after another, feeling uneasy.

    Zhao Han was amiable and seemed to be easy to talk to.  But these merchants are old and cunning guys, how could they believe that Zhao Han is easy to talk?

    There are countless landlords in Jiangxi whose homes were ransacked!

    All landlords in Jiangxi were divided into fields!

    Is this easy to talk about?

    The incident in Jiangxi had already spread to Guangzhou, and at the same time there was news that Zhao Han seemed to be very friendly to merchants.

    Guan Jialun took the lead and said: "The land administration of the general town is well known to the people of Guangzhou. This is a great thing to benefit all people. We have reached a consensus with the merchants in Guangzhou and are willing to fully cooperate with the general town to divide the land!"

    "Everyone is deeply aware of righteousness, this country is fortunate, and the people are also fortunate!" Zhao Han hurriedly bowed and saluted.

    It seems that the atmosphere is harmonious, but in fact it is all nonsense.

    Fentian must cooperate, and if you do not cooperate, you must cooperate.  The focus of both parties' attention is the specific trade policy, but Zhao Han didn't mention it at all.

    "Meet the general town!"

    Fei Ruhe led the soldiers with one arm clenched across his chest, and he did not kneel down.  Compared with the kneeling of merchants, it seems too disrespectful.

    Zhao Han walked a few steps forward and saw many people tied up at the pier, and asked, "What are these?"

    Fei Ruhe replied: "They are all criminals, they deserve to be killed for their crimes, please give me your instructions."

    "If it's time to kill, then kill it. What are you waiting for me to do? Execute on the spot!" Zhao Han said.

    These are gangsters, and if they were replaced by other rebels, they would definitely be rewarded, because they participated in the seizure of the city.

    But here at Zhao Han, they took advantage of the chaos to burn and kill the looters, and they all beheaded without any discussion.

    Fei Ruhe had already killed a group of heinous criminals, and kept them for Zhao Hanli.  Immediately shouted: "Execution!"

    Just on the pier, in front of merchants and common people, more than forty people lined up to be beheaded.

    "good!"

    ? The people of Guangzhou cheered loudly. They were victimized before, and it was the evil done by these gangsters in front of them.

    There must be fish that slipped through the net.

    For example, the crutches had already dispersed to the countryside, and Fei Ruhe didn't have the energy to investigate and arrest them.

    For example, the guards of house slaves hid in rich merchants, and Fei Ruhe didn't dare to take it lightly for the time being.

    The faces of all the merchants changed drastically. These gangsters were all hired by them to seize the city.  Now in front of them, all of them are killed at once. What does this mean?

    Zhao Han explained to the merchants with a smile: "Don't worry, I, Mr. Zhao, have always been rewarded for meritorious deeds and punished for demerits. They were beheaded because they burned, killed and looted wantonly in the city after they captured the city. Be safe, everyone."  Obeying the law is of course meritorious.”

    "The general town is wise."

    Guan Jialun quickly agreed, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he felt more and more that Zhao Han was difficult to speak.

    Zhao Han entered the city with a smile. Accompanied by merchants, he came to the former residence of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi.

    There are only two people left in the room.

    Zhao Han asked: "How is Guangzhou?"

    Fei Ruhe said: "The crutches are rampant, and people are often abducted. They are either sold to Nanyang or Hongyi."

    "What are you talking about about these details? Forget what I taught you to sort out the primary and secondary contradictions.??The people in Guangzhou City must be hungry.  Not to mention that grain is prohibited from going to sea, but merchants must be selected to specialize in it, and it is stipulated that only how much grain can be sold each month.  "

    "This is a good reminder." Zhao Han nodded.

    Deng Yunzhan also said: "We can let Han merchants go to Ruanzhu (South Vietnam) to buy grain, and only charge a small amount of tax when transporting it back to Guangdong. Only in this way can it be profitable, and only merchants are willing to buy grain back to Guangdong, so that Guangdong  Grain has become richer. It was not possible before, because of the Daming sea ban, officials were required to be bribed when traveling, making it unprofitable to buy grain from Annan."

    "You are a great talent," Zhao Han praised, "Any other suggestions? Feel free to speak up."

    Deng Yunzhan said: "Macao can be taken back for management, but the Hongyi must not be expelled. These Hongyi can bring a lot of silver. Today's Haojing is monopolized by Dafraji (Portugal). You can send someone to contact the Hongfan ghost (  Holland), let the Hongfan ghosts also come to Macau for trade. In this way, the barbarians can be controlled, and the one family will not be dominated, and it will be easier to manage in the future.”

    "Great kindness!" Zhao Han thought it was a good idea.

    Deng Yunzhan suddenly looked serious: "Businessmen in Foshan, who privately manufacture firearms, must be confiscated. Moreover, private merchants must not be allowed to intervene in the manufacture of firearms in the future!"

    "I have planned this for a long time," Zhao Han asked, "Would you like to be the head of the Guangzhou Shipping Department?"

    "Don't dare to say goodbye!" Deng Yunzhan was quite excited.

    ?The prefect of Guangzhou, the prefect of Xiangshan County, the admiral of Guangzhou Shipping Department, Zhao Han has other appointments, and they are all on their way here now.

    (Guangzhou Fucheng, Panyu County, and Nanhai County are all Guangzhou City. I made a mistake before, so I hereby correct it. ?

 Body 262【Weapons of Merchants】

    "Whoa, whoa, whoa!"

    There was a knock on the door.

    The gate of the courtyard was opened, and the servant saw an official messenger outside, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter with the messenger?"

    "To your master!"

    The official handed out a notice, saying: "In the counties around Guangzhou, every big family must be obedient. The chief town is afraid that the notice will be posted in Luting, and you will not be able to see it if you are blind, so I will send it to the big family's home in person. Hurry up and pick it up."  Stay, I have to go to the next one."

    The domestic slaves accepted the notice, but the official servants did not leave.

    The house slave had no choice but to go back with the notice, and soon a more senior house slave came.  The high-ranking servant took out a handful of copper coins and said with a smile: "The poor man took it to tea."

    "Easy to say!"

    The official took the copper coin, put it in his arms with a smile, and left the house immediately.

    Guangdong's expansion was too fast, and officials, missionaries, and peasant association backbones were stationed only in northern and western Guangdong.  Moreover, the situation in those places is too complicated, and many things have to be done slowly.

    ?As for Guangzhou Mansion, Zhao Han has dispatched manpower and is coming here one after another, and the Guangzhou government will temporarily use local people.

    The high-ranking servant went in holding a notice: "Master, that Zhao Tianwang has ordered that all the firearms privately hidden by the people be handed over to the Yamen, and private firearms are not allowed in the future."

    "He handed it in when he said he would hand it in?"

    Xie Shijun had a sneer on his face: "There are many big families in Guangzhou Mansion, so could it be that he still searches every family?"

    "Master is right." The senior house slave smiled apologetically.

    After a while, the slave came in and reported, "Master, Master Deng invites you to drink tea."

    "Prepare the sedan chair!"

    In fact, it was in Foshan Town, not too far away, but Xie Shijun still went in a sedan chair, and hundreds of people followed him.

    All those sitting together today are merchants in the iron smelting industry.

    In the past, the largest iron smelting family in Foshan was called "Xixiang Li", which is also the family where Li Daiwen, the Shangshu of the Ministry of household affairs, belonged.

    The rapid growth of the Li family originated from official orders.

    ?Because from the mid-Ming Dynasty, the imperial pots of the internal officials, the military pots of the Ministry of War, and the official pots of the Ministry of Industry were all purchased in Foshan Town for a long time.  Foshan hot pot is even exported to Mongolia. It is not damaged when bumped on horseback, and is deeply loved by grassland herdsmen.

    ?Foshan pot first goes northward by water, then goes to Jiangxi along the Meiling Ancient Road, passes through the Ganjiang River, enters the Yangtze River, and is transported to Beijing.

    After Li Daiwen became a senior official, the court only bought pots from the Li family.  Other merchants who wanted to sell hot pot had to go through the Li family, and the Li family naturally prospered.

    Now, Mrs. Li was killed by a team, and the property under his name was divided up by other merchants.

    Even the goods of the Guangzhou Shipping Department were divided up by these merchants, because Fei Ruhe was still far away in Huizhou at that time.

    "Did everyone see Zhao Tianwang's notice?" Deng Yunqiu asked.

    Deng Yunzhan, the head of the Guangzhou Shipping Department appointed by Zhao Han, is a member of this Deng Yunqiu's clan.  It's just that the two sides should have distanced themselves long ago, and it was also Deng Yunzhan, a member of the Deng clan, who proposed to ban private possession of firearms.

    Huang Zhaoxiu said: "An arm can't twist a thigh, so let's do it."

    Although the arms business comes in quickly, the number of orders is also small.  If other businesses are delayed due to privately manufactured arms, the gain outweighs the loss.  Many merchants who did not make firearms, or rarely made firearms, were very willing to carry out Zhao Han's orders.

    Merchants in Foshan can also be differentiated internally.

    "No," Xie Shijun immediately objected, "It's not about money, nor about firearms. It's about our hard work in seizing the city, so how can we count it as meritorious service? This Zhao Tianwang first killed people in front of us, and now he  He wants to confiscate firearms, but he has not mentioned how to do business in the future. What does he want to do? I think he wants to cross the river and demolish the bridge!"

    Feng Yangdong reminded: "I heard from a businessman from Jiangxi that this man has a dark face and likes to talk about rules. Whoever abides by his rules, he can talk easily. Whoever doesn't abide by his rules, he will arrest people, and most importantly, he will ransack his family and destroy his family."  , at least they will be distributed to mines."

    "He sets the rules!"

    Xie Shijun slapped the table fiercely: "In the future, what should we do with the land and sea business, and set the rules as soon as possible. What's the plan if you don't say anything?"

    Feng Yangdong said: "Confiscating firearms and prohibiting private manufacture is to establish rules."

    Deng Yunqiu's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly came to his senses.

    Yes, this is making rules.

    And it depends on who obeys the rules and who doesn't.  To severely punish those who do not obey the rules, Zhao Tianwang's real intention is probably to lure snakes out of their holes, and then kill chickens to scare monkeys!

    Deng Yunqiu wanted to understand this, but he didn't say it.

    Because of Zhao?Are the various official documents sorted out?  "

    "It's a mess." Fang Shengchang replied.

    Xiangshan County governed Zhuhai, Zhongshan, and Macao for later generations. Gan Dashou did not directly go to the post, but together cleaned up the Guangdong archives in Guangzhou.

    Zhao Han asked again: "How about the tariffs of the Guangdong Shipping Department?"

    Guo Shunyu replied: "There are four major customs in Guangdong. One is in Nanxiong, the tax amount is 43,000 taels; the second is in Chaozhou, the tax amount is 58,000 taels; the third is in Zhaoqing, the tax amount is 41,000 taels;  Shipping department, 40,000 taels per year, and often cannot be collected in full."

    Nanxiong's Chaoguan, the tax collection business route is "Guangdong-Jiangxi".

    Zhaoqing's Chaoguan, the tax business route is "Guangdong-Guangxi".

    Chaozhou's Chaoguan, the tax collection business route is "Guangdong-Fujian".

    All three of these belong to the Inland River Chaoguan, and the tariffs levied are all higher than the customs tariffs of the Shibo Division!

    What's even more nonsense is that the customs tax is so low that it cannot be collected in full every year.

    Zhao Han sneered and said, "Give them a surrender, how did Guangzhou merchants win over and corrupt officials."

    Deng Yunzhan cupped his hands at the six people and said: "Whenever a senior official takes office, the merchants will definitely have a banquet. If the senior official does not attend the banquet, we will inquire about his preferences. Those who like to recite poems and compose Fu, the merchants will pay for local celebrities to hold a literary meeting  .Those who like sex, moon and beauty, merchants will recruit famous prostitutes, and even send beautiful women as concubines If the big officials do not enter, the merchants will start with the entourage of the big officials, and start with the family members of the big officials. Four  Words are pervasive!"

    "Did you hear that?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zou Guangdi straightened his back: "Secretary of Integrity will never be soft!"

    "I trust the Secretary of Integrity." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Officials of the ICAC are promoted very quickly. At this stage, they don't need to go through seniority, and they can accumulate political achievements by catching corrupt people.

    Guo Shunyu reminded: "Beware of local officials."

    ?For cross-provincial expansion, it is impossible to appoint all the officials from Jiangxi.  Otherwise, it would be impossible to carry out work in Guangdong, or even communicate with the locals. Putonghua has not been popularized these days.

    Zhao Han instructed: "Local officials, what happened in the past, don't blame the past. Once corruption and bribery are found out in the future, their old accounts will also be dug out and dealt with!"

    "Yes!" Zou Guangdi clasped his fists.

    "Report!!!"

    "Headquarters, Fujian Haiphong guerrilla Zheng Zhilong, has led the fleet to Guangzhou!"

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 263【The Ambition to Seal the Wolf and Live in Xu is Too Little】

    All the officials left one after another, and Fang Shengchang was in charge of picking them up at the pier.

    Fei Ruhe and Zou Guangdi were left behind.

    Zhao Han suddenly said: "The matter of corruption and bribery should be investigated first in the army, and first in the military missionaries."

    Fei Ruhe was taken aback suddenly: "I usually manage very strictly, maybe a few soldiers hid it privately, but officers are absolutely impossible to embezzle and accept bribes."

    "You think you're smart?"

    Zhao Han's face suddenly turned cold: "You still let your generals refuse all comers, and use all the money sent by merchants as military pay? Are you saving money for me to fight? Should I thank you and give you the whole army?"  Announcement of the award! I didn’t mention it before, just to convince you. Director Zou, take someone to the army to investigate immediately!”

    "Obey!" Zou Guangdi left with his fists clasped.

    Fei Ruhe hesitated to speak, he felt that he had done nothing wrong.

    "Say what you want to say, don't pretend to be dumb!" Zhao Han scolded.

    Fei Ruhe explained: "These merchants are intertwined. I am not familiar with the place here, and I don't even have any available officials. Just thinking about collecting money first to stabilize people's hearts can be regarded as confusing those merchants."

    Zhao Han raised his hand and said, "You don't need to say anything. I didn't punish you when I came here, and I won't punish you now. I'll wait until the Integrity Department finds out the results. I know that no matter how much you say now, you won't admit your mistakes  gone."

    Fei Ruhe stopped talking, he knew that Zhao Han was angry, and it could be said that he was angry.

    ?Because the Secretary of the Integrity can only manage civilian officials, military discipline, including corruption and bribery, is handed over to military judges.

    This time Zhao Han asked the Secretary of the Integrity to investigate the army, obviously he no longer trusts the military judge.  In other words, Zhao Han believed that military judges were also suspected of corruption, so he asked the Civil Service Department of Integrity to intervene.

    No matter what the findings are, many officers will be demoted.

    The head of the military judge under Fei Ruhe's command will bear the brunt of the crime.  The best result is that he won a big victory this time, and the merits and demerits are offset by being transferred to other positions. The worst result is that he will fight to the end.  If he really embezzled the money, he would be beheaded 100%!

    "Don't go anywhere, wait with me to see Zheng Zhilong." Zhao Han said.

    "Okay." Fei Ruhe sighed secretly, he was grounded, but he just saved face.

    Alas, brother Han became more and more moody.  After coming to Guangzhou for so many days, I waited until the Secretary of the Independent Commission Against Corruption came, and then I suddenly wanted to investigate corruption in the military.

    Fei Ruhe's mood was very complicated.

    After waiting for a quarter of an hour, Zheng Zhilong hadn't come yet.  Fei Ruhe finally calmed down and introspected. He found that he was overwhelmed with complacency. A few days ago, he won a series of big victories and occupied Guangzhou without bloodshed. As a result, he became casual in doing things and forgot the military rules set by Zhao Han.

    Except for the quartermaster, other positions in the army are not allowed to touch money!

    Suddenly, Fei Ruhe said: "One person does the work and one person is responsible. The money collected from the merchants is returned to the public. This is all collected by me. Lao Liu, Lao Yang, and Lao Chen (officials in the command, mission, and military law systems) all persuaded me  Me, you don’t want to punish them. Everyone is looking forward to doing meritorious service when going south to fight. If I do this, those who follow me to fight will not only not be rewarded for meritorious service, but will be punished for their crimes. I am really sorry for them.”

    Zhao Han became even angrier when he heard this, and reprimanded him, "Are you being loyal, or are you trying to buy people's hearts?"

    "Damn it!"

    Hearing this kind of heartbreaking words, Fei Ruhe suddenly burst out, stood up, pointed at Zhao Han and said: "You and I have known each other for eleven years, who is Fei Ruhe, you Zhao Han still don't know? I admit I was wrong  Now, one person is doing things and the other is responsible, what do you want me to do?"

    This guy is a loyal soldier in his bones.

    "Sit down!" Zhao Han shouted.

    Fei Ruhe's temper flared up, he just stood there and refused to sit, staring at Zhao Han with wide eyes.

    Both sides looked at each other for a long time, sitting and standing, Fei Ruhe was defeated.

    "you say!"

    Fei Ruhe sat down.

    Zhao Han asked, "What do you do?"

    "Warring." Fei Ruhe said.

    Zhao Han repeated: "What do you do? Tell me clearly."

    Fei Ruhe said: "The South Head of the Military Academy."

    Zhao Han asked again: "When you followed me in the uprising, what did you say your ideal was?"

    "Do great things!"

    Fei Ruhe suddenly stood up again: "I used to be young and didn't understand, but now I want to understand. A man was born in troubled times, and he should carry a three-foot sword to make an invincible achievement! Now, Jiang Dashan is sweeping Eastern Guangdong, and Zhang Tieniu is sweeping  Western Guangdong will soon take over the entire territory of Guangdong. I heard that Huguang will soon occupy more than half of it, and it will be a matter of time before we reach the south.?The Song Dynasty was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, how could the barbarians of the Fan Kingdom steal it?  Luzon will be taken back in the future!  "

    "Collect it, collect it," Fei Ruhe had no interest in the Philippines, "Let the navy take it, I just keep the wolf in the house."

    "No ambition!" Zhao Han scolded.

    Fei Ruhe was not happy: "You still have no ambitions to be a wolf and live in Xu?"

    Zhao Han pointed to India: "This is the land of Tianzhu. The small country of Flangjizuer has already stolen a large piece of territory along the coast of Tianzhu. It is rumored that Tianzhu's land is fertile and has more fertile soil that can be cultivated than Ming Dynasty. You don't want to go and conquer it?"

    "They are all aliens, and they can't be ruled if they are defeated." Fei Ruhe said.

    Zhao Han patiently guided: "Since it is fertile soil, it can be cultivated by immigrants. While the Han people immigrated there, they educated the local people. After hundreds of years, wouldn't Tianzhu be the Han family? At that time, how should future generations respect you and me?"

    Fei Ruhe stared dumbfounded at India, remained silent for a long time, and asked, "Is there really more fertile soil here than in Daming?"

    Zhao Han's tone was affirmative: "It's absolutely true!"

    "Damn it!" Fei Ruhe slammed the table.

    At this moment, Zheng Zhilong came.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 264 [Zheng's father and son] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Zheng Zhilong is very contradictory. He seems to be a bit ambitious, but he is a little rich.

    He used Taiwan as his base and took advantage of the famine in Fujian to emigrate. He has immigrated to Taiwan for ten consecutive years.

    But he himself does not live in Taiwan, but lives in a mansion in Fujian.  Moreover, the son also passed the examination of scholar this year, and it seems that he intends to train his son to be a high-ranking official.

    As long as you don't provoke him, Zheng Zhilong doesn't bother to fight anyone, and he is very satisfied as a guerrilla in the coastal defense of Ming Dynasty.

    Historically, the Manchu Qing sent people to summon security, and Zheng Zhilong went as well.  Leaving his own navy, leaving his territory, and only taking his confidants to Beijing to become an official.

    "Oh! Rare guest, rare guest!"

    After Zhao Han cupped his hands and saluted, he enthusiastically took Zheng Zhilong's hand: "Brother Yiguan, please sit inside."

    Zheng Zhilong laughed and said: "Brother Zhuochen, I have admired your name for a long time. When I saw you today, you are younger and more promising than I imagined." He turned and pointed at a young man, "This is Zheng Sen, a dog named Fusong, who has just been admitted as a scholar  .This kid is not a rough person like me. There are only 20 grannies in the county, and he really passed the exam!"

    The pride is beyond words, it seems that having a son who has been admitted to Linsheng is far more worthy of showing off than him dominating the South China Sea.

    The country's surname?

    Zhao Han couldn't help but look at the young man, who looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.  It is completely different from that handed down portrait, instead of thin eyebrows and phoenix eyes, the eyes are big and bright.  He is not thin and detailed, and his figure is much bigger than his peers.

    And after entering the door, the boy's eyes rolled wildly, and finally his eyes fell on Zhao Han.  Even if his eyes met Zhao Han's, the young man was not afraid, instead there was a sense of provocation.

    According to the records of the Dutch colonists, the real Zheng Chenggong spoke passionately, and often roared in disputes.

    Of course, it is also possible to be gentle with your own people and "violent in words and deeds" to the Dutch.

    Violent words and deeds, the original text is like this, this is Zheng Chenggong in the eyes of the Dutch.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Master Ling is very talented, given time, he will definitely not be something in the pool."

    "Haha," Zheng Zhilong said happily, "this kid is not bad, but he can't compare with the good brother. I heard that Guangdong and Huguang are going to be taken?"

    Zhao Han said in a relaxed tone: "It's still early. Guangdong is coming soon, and we are sweeping east and west Guangdong. Huguang only occupies Changsha, and we are sweeping the state capitals south of Changsha."

    "Tsk tsk tsk," Zheng Zhilong couldn't help feeling, "My brother is an extraordinary person, this is two and a half provinces."

    Zhao Han introduced: "This is my brother-in-law Fei Ruhe, who took down half of Guangdong."

    "I have met General Zheng." Fei Ruhe cupped his hands.

    "Young general, extraordinary," Zheng Zhilong said with a smile, "Your father is worthy of my brother, we are all in the same family!"

    Fei Ruhe murmured in his heart: My father is called your brother, and my brother-in-law is also called your brother, so how should I be called you?

    After some pleasantries, everyone sat down.

    Before sitting down, Zheng Zhilong glanced at the world map and asked: "Your brother has occupied Guangdong, do you want to drive away Frangji?"

    "It's just taking back Macau, it doesn't drive Hongyi away. However, it can attract Hongfan ghosts to do business, so that Folangji and Hongfan ghosts can check and balance each other," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Brother Zheng's merchant ships can also come to Guangzhou to do business in the future."  Business. Anyone can do business in Guangzhou as long as they pay the customs duty.”

    Zheng Zhilong suddenly said: "Don't let the Hongfan ghosts come, these guys are ambitious."

    Zhao Han asked: "Brother Zheng has enmity with the Hongfan ghost?"

    "It is estimated that there will be another battle, and the Hongfan ghosts are always ready to move." Zheng Zhilong said.

    Over the past ten years, the South China Sea has been very chaotic.

    First, the Ming court joined forces with the Dutch to attack Zheng Zhilong.  Zheng Zhilong won.

    Then Zheng Zhilong was recruited, and Zheng Zhilong, the imperial court, and the Netherlands joined forces to fight other pirates.

    Then, the pirate Liu Xiang joined forces with the Dutch to attack the coast of Daming, and was defeated by Zheng Zhilong and the court.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, the Dutch immediately made friends with Zheng Zhilong, so Liu Xiang went to fight the Dutch again.

    Soon Liu Xiang was killed by Zheng Zhilong, and the Dutch began to have constant friction with Zheng Zhilong. It is estimated that a naval battle will break out sooner or later within a year or two.

    Zhao Han asked: "Brother Zheng, are you sure you can defeat the Hongfan ghost?"

    "I'm sure." Zheng Zhilong said.

    "Well, I don't care about the fight between you," Zhao Han said, "Brother Zheng can tell the merchants that the ballast can be exchanged for grain when returning from Nanyang in the future. When the grain is transported to Guangzhou, I will charge a very low tariff.  They must have made some money."

    Zheng Zhilong smiled and said: "Okay, small things.nbsp;Now the two parties belong to a cooperative relationship, just like Daming and Zheng Zhilong, also belong to a cooperative relationship.

    Even, due to Zheng Zhilong's strength, the court will choose not to see that Zheng Zhilong can cooperate with Daming and Zhao Han at the same time.

    Zheng Sen has been listening by the side, looking at Zhao Han for a while, looking at Fei Ruhe for a while, and staring at the map for a while, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

    After chatting for a while, Zhao Han arranged for them to rest first. After all, they were exhausted from the journey, and they would come to dinner and chat after resting.

    After being taken to the guest room, when there were only two people left in the room, Zheng Sen asked, "Nearby, can this Zhao Han really win the world?"

    Zheng Zhilong sighed: "With the strength of one province, we sent troops to Huguang and Guangdong at the same time. In two or three months, we will have such a situation. Not to mention that he can win the world, half of the country south of the Yangtze River can still be easily captured. We have to beg in the south  If you eat, you will have to rely on this person from now on. If you really want to tear your face, it will not be good for everyone."

    "well!"

    Zheng Sen's dream at this time is to be admitted to the Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty, and then enter the court to become a high-ranking official.

    Living at sea is not as comfortable as being in power in the court.

 Text 265 [Zhao Han's Beggar Navy]

    In the next few days, Zheng and his son stayed in Guangzhou, eating and chatting with Zhao Han every day.

    Zheng Zhilong led the fleet this time, so he can do business by the way, and his men are purchasing various goods.

    On the fifth day after Zheng Zhilong came to Guangzhou, the Guangzhou Navy of the Ming Dynasty completely surrendered.

    In fact, they surrendered a long time ago, because the families of the navy officers and soldiers all lived in the shore guard.  They just ran a few ships, and now they all returned, and Zhao Han sent people to take over the warships.

    Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Sen and his son followed Zhao Han to inspect the navy. When they arrived at the military port, both father and son couldn't help smiling.

    A very weird smile.

    "The main town and the Guangzhou Navy are here." Wan Bangyanhui reported.

    Wan Bangyan is a concubine of the Linjiang family. He used to be the number three figure in the Jiangxi Navy. Now he brought some officers and soldiers of the Inland River Navy to Guangdong to form a navy for Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han sighed: "There is a long way to go."

    Wan Bangyan said in detail: "The Guangdong navy is divided into three routes: east, middle and west, with 600, 1200 and 104 guards respectively, and can recruit 500, 1000 and 500 sailors.  The navy has almost disappeared in name only, and only the Guangzhou navy in the middle of the road is left. There are three Xinhui ships, and dozens of small boats such as black boats and tugboats."

    The Guangzhou navy in front of Zhao Han can no longer be described as shabby, just like a beggar.

    There are only three Xinhui boats with a two-story structure, which are barely decent.

    As for those black boats, commonly known as bird boats, they were originally fishing boats!  It is only 11 meters long and 2.3 meters wide. It has a single-layer structure and can only be used for offshore patrols. There are only 13 ships of this kind, and the rest are just like fishing boats.

    Zhao Han said: "Let them go ashore to practice for a month, train discipline, and dismiss all disobedient ones!"

    "Yes!" Wan Bangyan took the order.

    Zhao Han turned to Zheng Zhilong and said, "Brother Zheng, can I visit your ship?"

    "Of course, my dear brother, please." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

    Zhao Han said to Wan Bangyan: "You come too, learn more."

    Zheng Zhilong's ship is also a bird ship, but the bird ship cannot be compared with the bird ship.

    This is a double-deck big bird ship with a multi-mast bow and stern layout, and guns are equipped on the bow, stern and side.

    "Good boat!"

    After Zhao Han boarded the ship, he could only speak this kind of vocabulary, and he didn't understand professional things.

    "Is this the Franc cannon?" Wan Bangyan asked.

    Zheng Zhilong said: "The improved one hits faster, farther and more powerful."

    Wan Bangyan almost drooled on the spot when he looked at those Franc cannons.  The Jiangxi Navy is also equipped with a small amount of Franc cannons, but compared with the ones on this ship, it seems that the gray grandson has met his grandfather.

    After visiting the side artillery, Zheng Zhilong took them to visit the bow and stern.

    Wan Bangyan was dumbfounded: "This is this the cannon of the general in red?"

    "It is." Zheng Zhilong smiled.

    It's crazy. This thing can be used as a coastal defense gun or a city defense gun. I've never seen it installed on a ship!

    After being surprised and shocked, Wan Bangyan said in doubt: "There is no need to install a general cannon for naval warfare. This thing has a slow rate of fire and poor accuracy. If it is installed on a ship, the rate of fire will be slower and the accuracy will be worse."

    "It wasn't installed on the ship before, it was only installed in the last few years," Zheng Zhilong explained, "These generals in red are running to deal with the red ghosts!"

    Today's Portuguese have a very good relationship with Daming. Although there are constant daily conflicts, they all revolve around the management of Macau.  If encountering a foreign land, Daming and Portugal will definitely join forces. Even if Portugal does not directly make a move, it will secretly help the Guangzhou Navy.

    So well-behaved, because Portugal has declined, and its food supply is stuck by Daming, so it must rely on Daming to survive.

    In the entire South China Sea area, Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch are fighting for hegemony.

    Therefore, Zheng Zhilong's strategy and tactics must be improved around the Dutch.

    Zhao Han asked: "This kind of big bird ship, can it deal with the warship of the Red Fan Ghost?"

    Zheng Zhilong said with a smile: "It's this kind of big bird ship. I have built more than 20 ships over the years. The warships of the red fan ghosts, come and clean up as many as you want!"

    "Why are you so sure?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zheng Zhilong explained: "My virtuous brother may not know that the warships of those red ghosts are different from the warships of other countries. Depending on the speed of sailing, they never line up, just rush forward. After charging close, they will be suppressed with heavy artillery  , use the arson boat or jump gang battle to win. After I improveCan be honest.  In the past, Franji was also very arrogant. After being punished several times, now he shrank in Macau like a dog raised by Daming.  The Hongfan ghosts have repeatedly attacked the coast of Daming, Guangzhou has also been beaten twice, and they have not been completely defeated yet.  "

    "It's the same for barbarians who are fearful of power but not virtuous." Zhao Han nodded.

    Zheng Zhilong said: "How about we set up a cover?"

    Zhao Han smiled and asked, "What kind of cover?"

    Zheng Zhilong said: "It is announced that the Hongfan ghosts are not allowed to come to Guangzhou for trade, and the Hongfan ghosts will definitely come to attack. It is 100% absolutely correct. I know the Hongfan ghosts too well. At that time, I will lie in ambush at sea, and my brother will lie in ambush in the river.  Work together inside and outside to beat the Red Fan ghost!"

    Zhao Han thought silently, after the Dutchman was beaten and disabled, Zheng Zhilong would be the only family in the sea.

    Zheng Zhilong said suddenly: "Brother, I can send you some shipwrights, and you open a shipyard to manufacture warships yourself. How about it?"

    "Brother is so sincere, brother Yu is naturally willing to cooperate." Zhao Han immediately agreed.

    The cooperation between the two parties has become closer, because Zheng Zhilong has shown his heart.

    This great pirate seems to really want to surrender, and he probably wants to enter the court and become a high official, or be named a prince to honor his ancestors.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 266 [Spanish, Portuguese and British]

    Macau, Governor's Mansion.

    More than ten years ago, this place was still a fort.

    At that time, the Spanish king jointly ruled Portugal, and the Portuguese in Macau never recognized it.  The king of Spain sent the first governor, which not only detonated the conflicts between the two countries, but also detonated the conflicts between the mainland and the colonies, and then detonated the factional conflicts within the Catholic Church.

    ?Three contradictions superimposed, Macao MPs united with Jesuits to stage a coup to expel the Governor.

    ?The first Governor of Portugal and Macau suppressed it by force and occupied the fort of the Jesuits, which was directly converted into the Governor's Palace of Portugal and Macau.

    "Your Excellency the Governor!"

    The adjutant said anxiously: "The envoy we sent to Guangzhou was expelled back by Zhao, the rebel leader of the Ming Dynasty. Zhao threatened that His Excellency the Governor must go to Guangzhou to negotiate in person, otherwise he would starve to death the Portuguese in Magang."

    Paulo Shi, the sixth Governor of Portugal and Macau, his full name is: D. Sebastian Loboda Silveira.

    This guy just came to Macau two months ago, before his butt was hot, Macau was deprived of food for 20 days.

    Shi Paulo asked: "How long will there be enough food?"

    "At most half a month." The adjutant replied.

    Shi Paulo asked again: "This rebel leader Zhao, have you found out more information?"

    The adjutant took out a handwritten material: "Zhao's full name is Zhao Han, and he was given the title of 'Heavenly King' when he rebelled. Heavenly King is the king of heaven"

    "Wait," Shi Paulo interrupted, "is this man religious?"

    "No, no, no," the adjutant explained, "The heaven of the Ming Dynasty is not a paradise for Catholics. The supreme ruler is called the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor is equivalent to the emperor of heaven, and the king of heaven is the king of heaven."

    Paul Shi suddenly realized: "I understand the difference between the Roman emperor and the Spanish king. This Zhao is a Taoist believer. He launched a rebellion and wanted to establish a Taoist country, which is very detrimental to us. Fanatic religious elements, he  Will expel European missionaries and destroy our churches and hospitals."

    The adjutant has only been in Macau for two months, and he said confusedly: "But I heard from the Macau Council of Elders (Parliament) that there are very few religious fanatics in Ming Dynasty, maybe things are not as bad as imagined."

    "This Zhao must be a fanatic of Taoism," Shi Baoluo said, "Daming is a powerful country, and only religious fanatics can quickly rebel and grow. I heard that he is about to completely occupy Guangdong Where is the map?"

    The adjutant brought a map of the world. Japan and North Korea were marked in more detail, and the few coastal provinces of Ming Dynasty were also more detailed.

    But for the inland provinces, only a rough outline is drawn.

    "Jiangxi is here. They have reached Guangdong and are still attacking Huguang," Shi Baoluo said. "This is a very powerful rebel force. Maybe we can help the Ming Dynasty. As long as the rebel army is wiped out, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty will surely  It will pay off and we will get more benefits."

    "No, no, no," the adjutant said anxiously, "Your Excellency, Da Ming is about to die. I heard from the elders that there are rebels in the north of Da Ming, and they are powerless to quell the rebellion in the south. In the next few years, even decades,  Guangdong will be under the rule of Zhao, and we must cooperate with Zhao. It won’t even take that long, and the Spanish and Portuguese in Magang will starve to death in one month without food.”

    "But he has no sincerity and refuses to meet my envoy." Paul Shi was very angry.

    The adjutant suggested: "Your Excellency Governor, I think you should go to Guangzhou yourself."

    "No, I can't go," Shi Paulo slapped the table and said, "That's a Taoist fanatic, and I'm a devout Catholic, he might kill me in Guangzhou! I want to transfer troops, I want to transfer troops from the Philippines,  I want to take down Canton. This is just a rebel army, and it is certainly no match for the Spanish warriors."

    The adjutant reminded: "Your Excellency, you have no right to deploy troops in the Philippines. You can only mobilize the Magang Guard and the Ming (China) Japan Trade Fleet. Moreover, these troops may not obey orders."

    There are a total of 300 Magang guards, 100 Portuguese and Macao soldiers, and 200 Spanish and Filipino soldiers.

    Especially those Macau soldiers are all Portuguese born and raised in Macau.  Their relationship with Portugal is relatively indifferent, not to mention the governor sent by the Spanish king.

    Now two-thirds of the armed forces in Macau come from the Philippines, the purpose is to suppress the Portuguese rebellion!

    "Boom boom boom!"

    "Please come in."

    A Portuguese-Macau congressman walked into the governor's office, took out a council document and said: "Your Excellency, please leave for Guangzhou immediately, and you must bring three members of the council with you. Otherwise, the council will guide the cityGuangzhou, the greatest city in the Ming Dynasty.  I thought, this is an opportunity, I must contact Zhao, otherwise I can only return empty.  Damn Portuguese!  "

    "Zhao is very young, God, he can speak English. Although his broken English seems to be taught by a farmer in the countryside, he can barely communicate."

    "Zhao told me that my understanding of the Ming Dynasty was too biased, like arriving at a port in England and thinking that I knew the whole of Britain. Perhaps, this is true. Zhao and his rebels are like other Chinese people I have seen.  People are different."

    "In my long-term contact, the Ming people, or the Chinese, are xenophobic, cowardly, greedy, and superstitious. They can break out a peasant war in order to fight for a cemetery. They don't contact foreigners and let them lead the way  , always asking for a lot of silver coinsAfter Zhao came, he slowly began to change. Officials did not dare to ask for bribes anymore, at least on the surface, they secretly asked for silver coins without telling Zhao."

    "Zhao said that he would deal with these corrupt officials. He invited me to dinner, and the dishes were not extravagant, which is different from other wealthy Chinese"

    "But it's a pity that Zhao, such an excellent young man, actually eats with chopsticks like other Chinese people. Some of them hold the bowl, and some put the bowl on the table, just like a pig digging in a trough. I  It is totally unacceptable that many Chinese people wear luxurious silk and use exquisite porcelain, but eat like pigs. My good yearning for Chinese people is shattered because of their way of eating"

 Body 267 [Unequal treaties?  ] (Add more updates for Big Penguin)

    The English communication between Zhao Han and Peter Mundy was very difficult!

    Throughout the whole process, I guessed and occasionally wrote words with a pen.  If it doesn't work, let the two translators do it.

    ?The first translator, first uses Portuguese, communicates with Peter Mundy, and then informs the other two translators in Cantonese.  The second translation is to convert Cantonese into Ming Mandarin so that Zhao Han can really understand it.

    "In other words, is the Dutch navy the most powerful now?" Zhao Han asked.

    Peter Mundy replied: "Spain is not weak, both sides are evenly matched. But Spain is on the defensive, and the Netherlands is looking for opportunities to attack everywhere. This is also the case in Asia. Last year, the Dutch fleet blocked Malacca for several months. The Spanish fleet has been avoiding war.  Dare to show up."

    "How did the Dutch Navy rise?" Zhao Han asked.

    Peter Mundy said: "The Dutch's navigation technology is already developed. Since the beginning of independence, they have been building warships. Seven years ago, the Dutch fleet attacked Antwerp at night, wiped out the Spanish fleet in the port, and seized a large number of ships.  The Spanish battleship. The power of the two sides was reversed, the Dutch turned from the defensive to the offensive, and the Spanish turned from the offensive to the defensive."

    "The Netherlands is not that big, is it?" Zhao Han said.

    Peter Mundy laughed and said: "Of course, they are very small, but they have money. Spain is poor now, and they can't even pay the salaries of the crew."

    In terms of jurisprudence, the Netherlands at this time was still a province under Spain, and the supreme ruler was the Governor of the Netherlands appointed by the King of Spain.

    Any religious conflicts are all superficial excuses. The reason why the Dutch fought for independence was because Spain was too exploited, and the nature of it was a bourgeois revolution accompanied by a war of national independence.

    As for the key node, the Spanish royal family went bankrupt, the Dutch financiers suffered heavy losses, and the financiers completely turned to the independent faction.

    Peter Mundy also said: "Portugal is also fighting for independence, and it has long cooperated secretly with the Dutch. Without Portugal's port in India, the Dutch would never even think about disrupting the situation in China. But last year, the Dutch blockade of Malacca completely destroyed Portugal.  The people were outraged. The colonial ports of India refused to allow Dutch ships to dock for supplies. In desperation, the Netherlands had no choice but to lift the blockade."

    It can be understood that Spain is the head of the family, while Portugal and the Netherlands are the younger brothers.

    The two little brothers are both arguing about breaking up.

    The Netherlands beat Spain, making you come and go.

    Portugal didn't dare to join, and while secretly handing a stick to Holland, he stood by and muttered that I also wanted to separate.

    The Portuguese in Macau belong to the concubine of the family.  While dissatisfied with the Spanish patriarch, they fought with the Dutch brothers because the Dutch wanted to come to Macau to grab lollipops.

    Neither Zhao Han nor Peter Mundy knew that after a naval battle next year, the Netherlands would officially become the world's number one maritime power.

    Only at sea!

    From Africa to Asia, there are Portuguese colonial ports along the way.  The Netherlands is showing off its power at sea, but it is like sleepwalking when it goes ashore. It can only shrink back in southern Taiwan and bully the aborigines.

    The Netherlands once tried to capture Macau. Thousands of soldiers landed and were ambushed by dozens of Portuguese. The whole army collapsed on the spot.

    If fighting on land and in the wild, two hundred Datong soldiers should be able to defeat three or four thousand Dutchmen head-on.

    Listening to Peter Mundy's talk about the situation in Europe, Zhao Han felt that his opportunity had come, or that it was a good time to go to sea in the future.

    Spain is declining day by day, Portugal has long been dead, and Britain has not yet risen at sea.

    The Netherlands is about to flourish, but the territory of the Netherlands is too small.  The population is scarce and the army is weak, so they can only do business honestly and don't want to occupy too many colonies.

    As a commodity production center, China beats these countries into dogs and drives them all out of Southeast Asia, and they will also come to trade.  Because tea, silk, and porcelain can only be bought in China, they are all scarce commodities in Europe.

    But all of this must be led by oneself.

    Until a powerful navy is developed, the Europeans cannot be driven away, and Macau will be Zhao Han's window to the outside world.

    Of course, the Netherlands must fight, who makes it the number one maritime power?

    Peter Mundy returned to the house and continued to write his travel notes: "Zhao talked about the situation in Europe today, and he was very interested in it. This is a king with far-sighted vision. Yes, king, please allow me to use this word,  He may one day be the Emperor of China. God, it's unbelievable that I should be friends with the great Emperor of China"

    "There is no doubt that Zhao will definitely develop the navy. From his eyes, I can see that he will definitely go to war with Spain and the Netherlands in the future. For the United Kingdom, for all European countries, this is a big thing  good thing?Excluded.

    Europeans who wanted to do business had to smuggle goods from Guangzhou to Macau through fishermen.

    This is the latest policy at the end of Ming Dynasty.

    Now that Zhao Han is still open, Portuguese and Spanish merchants can also go directly to Guangzhou to buy things.  mean what?

    It means that half of the port of Macau has been abolished, which means that the Netherlands and the United Kingdom can bypass Macau and go directly to Guangzhou!

    "No bargaining is allowed, you only have two choices. Sign or not! Don't worry, even if you don't sign, I will let you go. After you go back, prepare your troops for war." Zhao Han left after finishing speaking, and ended the negotiation directly.

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

    Shi Paulo said: "Who dares to sign?"

    No one answered.

    After a long time, Desino said: "If you don't sign, Magang will be gone. With Zheng Zhilong at sea, we can't fight land battles. The bunker is useless. Without food for a month, the defenders will all starve to death."

    Shi Paulo sat down slumped.

 Body 268 [Macao Coup]

    The Macau Treaty was still signed, and there was no choice.

    Spain is at war with the Netherlands, Portugal has been fighting for independence, and the Governor of Macau is caught in a dilemma.

    Zhao Han's allowing the autonomy of foreign residential areas is the last face left for the governor and the parliament.  Once the face is torn apart, I am afraid that even the residential area will be lost. What should the more than 2,000 Portuguese and Spaniards on the island do?

    "One, two, three, bump!"

    "One, two, three, bump!"

    "Boom!"

    The Macau boundary wall built by the Portuguese was not yet completed at this time, and sections were torn down.

    The place Daming leased to Portugal was not the entire Macau Island, but a small piece of the island.  The church built by Portugal across the border was demolished many times by the Ming government, and only the cannon factory remained.

    Although Zhao Han allowed the inhabited area to be autonomous, it was limited to the inhabited area, and the boundary wall encloses a large area of ??the countryside.

    Gan Dashou, the magistrate of Xiangshan County, personally brought the officials and came to distribute the land to the Han people on the island.

    Some local officials knocked on the gong and shouted: "Come and register and register. If you get your household registration, you will be issued a land deed. If you don't have a land deed, your private land will be confiscated! As long as you get your household registration, you won't be afraid of being bullied by Francois!"

    Eight forts have been built in Macao, and another fort is under construction. There are more than 60 fixed coastal defense guns and 20 field artillery.

    Fei Ruhe personally led the troops to receive the forts and cannons.

    After taking out the treaty, everything went well, and the fort was soon in Fei Ruhe's hands.

    "Stop, this is a Portuguese gun factory. What you are doing is robbery! The "Macau Treaty" does not specify the ownership of the gun factory, so you can't take it away at will!" Councilman Mascar stopped at the gate of the gun factory.

    Tu Tingye said to the interpreter: "Tell him, I am Tu Tingye, the inspector of the Macau Inspection Department, and I will be in charge of the security of Macau from now on. The Bucarao Cannon Factory is a building that crosses the border and must be taken back. The Macau Council can only manage residential areas.  ! Raise the gun!"

    Three hundred firecrackers were raised in unison.

    Seeing that the opponent still didn't move away, Tu Tingye shouted again: "Light the match!"

    Ma Shijia was so scared that he immediately moved away, and said angrily: "War, you are going to start a war!"

    The Bugarao Cannon Foundry claims to be the best cannon factory in the Far East. Not only does it sell well in Asia, it can even be sold back to Europe.

    The "Shenwei General Cannon" of the Beijing Tower was produced in the Bucarao Cannon Foundry in Macau.

    Tu Tingye sneered: "Go in and talk to them."

    Wang Shengtai walked into the Cannon Factory with more than a dozen apprentices and said: "From now on, the Bucarao Cannon Factory will be renamed Macau Cannon Factory. I am the supervisor of the Cannon Factory. Your salary will remain the same. If you can  Improve the craftsmanship, or cast high-quality cannons, and you can get rewards."

    A man who looked like a craftsman and a boss came over and said to Wang Shengtai: "I am Wendis Bogarao, this artillery factory was opened by my grandfather. I want to ask, I still have 15% of the shares,  Are these shares also taken away?"

    "You can stay," Wang Shengtai replied, "as long as you have extraordinary casting skills, I will leave you 1% of dry shares. You can only pay dividends, you cannot participate in management, and you cannot leave it to your descendants.  Void."

    Wendis Bugarao said angrily: "You guys are robbery!"

    Wang Shengtai sneered and said: "Then let me answer you, the Cannon Factory is not a leased land. Your grandfather crossed the concession and forcibly occupied the villagers' land. What kind of behavior is this? A robber! I will leave you 1% dry shares, which is already very  I've given you some face. If it wasn't for the order of the chief town, I'd expel you directly! Either take 1% of the dry shares and continue to make cannons, or leave the cannon factory immediately!"

    Wendis Bogarao was silent, accepting this reality slumped.

    The whole of Macau, as well as the Cannon Foundry, have already been seriously injured because of the previous war.

    That battle was fought in Shandong.

    In the third year of Chongzhen, the Portuguese artillery team from Macau arrived in Beijing.  The annual salary of the leader is 150 taels, with a monthly subsidy of 15 taels; the annual salary of ordinary gunners is 100 taels, with a monthly subsidy of 10 taels.  They not only trained gunners of the Ming army, but also went to Liaodong to fight. At the Dengzhou cannon casting base, they adopted the barrel cold casting technology to triple the range of the Hongyi cannon.

    Due to the high wages, Portuguese gunners and cannon-casting craftsmen kept going from Macau to Dengzhou, and they were so full of fighting in Pidao that they dared not go to sea again.

    In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde rebelled and led troops to besiege Dengzhou.  Due to Geng Zhongming's betrayal, Dengzhou City Gate fell.

    The Ming army either died or surrendered, and the Portuguese artillery team was isolated and helpless, still sticking to the artillery position to fight.

    The artillery team under Kong Youde was taught by the Portuguese.

    The apprentice beats the master.

    40 PortugueseWell, the civilians also fought.

    There is no need for the Chinese to take action at all, Macau itself can play the dog's brains.

    "General, Dafo Langji (Portugal) can't hold on anymore." The translator reminded.

    Fei Ruhe immediately shouted: "Kill!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Not long after, Spain was flanked by China and Portugal, and quickly collapsed to surrender.

    Fei Ruhe was about to receive the prisoners, when he saw the Portuguese guards suddenly opened fire at close range, killing one-third of the Spanish troops.

    The two sides fought again, and Fei Ruhe didn't bother to intervene.

    Julio, the commander of the guard, was shot down unwillingly, and countless Spanish soldiers fled towards the sea.

    At the same time, the Portuguese priests were expelling the Spanish priests, the Portuguese civilians were expelling the Spanish civilians, and the Macao Council was expelling officials from the Governor's Office.

    ?Governor Paulo Shi was driven to the pier. Speaker Hua Liya said sharply: "Go back to the Philippines immediately, and you are not allowed to set foot on the land of Macau!"

    A large number of Spanish officials, priests and civilians boarded the ship, cursing or crying.

    Especially civilians, they leave with only one suit of clothes on, and all their property is deprived. How can a family live in the Philippines?

    "Wonderful, so wonderful." Fei Ruhe couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

    Speaker Hua Liya ordered the guards to be disbanded, handed all the muskets to Fei Ruhe, and said: "Please abide by the treaty, and don't interfere in the affairs of the inhabited area in the future."

    "We always keep our promises." Fei Ruhe smiled.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 269 [Military Law]

    Guangzhou, North Tower.

    There is a five-story building here, which was built in the early Ming Dynasty, and it was built to have a good view of the whole city.

    Zhao Han put down the battle report he had just received, and seeing Zheng Zhilong looking at him, he smiled and said: "Western Guangdong has been taken, only Qiongzhou Prefecture is left, and the frontline generals request to dispatch ships to attack the island."

    "Congratulations, dear brother," Zheng Zhilong immediately cupped his hands, "Do you need the Zheng family to send a boat to help?"

    Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "I don't need it for the time being. It won't be too late to capture Qiongzhou's mansion when there are enough officials. Does my brother know the situation in Qiongzhou?"

    "It's much better there than Dongfan," Zheng Zhilong said with a smile, "there are at least a million Han people in Qiongzhou Island."

    The population of Hainan Island in the late Ming Dynasty must have exceeded one million!

    Because during the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the registered population of Hainan Island had already reached 291,030, almost breaking through 300,000.  Over the past two hundred years, the imperial court has continued to exile prisoners on the island, and there have been civilian immigrants along the coast of Guangdong. There may be two or three million Han people on Hainan Island.

    As for the official data, there were only 250,000 people in Hainan at the end of the Ming Dynasty, which was less than that of Zhu Yuanzhang, which is outrageous and nonsense.

    Zhao Han got up and pressed the railing, looked across the city of Guangzhou to look at the sea, and suddenly turned around and asked, "Does the Hongfan ghost really dare to come?"

    "It will definitely come." Zheng Zhilong said with a smile.

    After Zhao Han took back Macau, he immediately informed the merchants that all countries can come to Guangzhou for free trade—except the Netherlands.

    With the arrogance of the Dutch in the 17th century, after hearing this news, they probably wanted to rush into Guangzhou City and kill Zhao Han.  According to Zheng Zhilong, the Dutch will arrive in Guangzhou within three months.

    Zhao Han is now in a hurry to drive away the Dutch because he has captured the entire western part of Guangdong.

    Guangdong in the Ming Dynasty directly bordered Vietnam, and the coastal areas of Guangxi in the future will all be under the jurisdiction of Guangdong at this time.

    North Vietnam's ocean trade has been occupied by the Dutch.  Only by driving away the Dutch can Zhao Han buy grain in North Vietnam to solve the problem of food shortage in Guangdong.

    After three years of catastrophe in Guangdong, Zhao Han brought a large number of troops and officials.  The local purchase of grain is no longer enough, and it is being transported from Jiangxi. The consumption of going over mountains and mountains is very high, and it is necessary to obtain grain imports from North Vietnam as soon as possible.

    The cost of buying grain from North Vietnam is lower than that of South Vietnam, and merchants are more active in transporting grain and selling it.

    Zhao Han asked suddenly: "Is it easy to attack Taiwan City (Rezaban City)?"

    "Easy," Zheng Zhilong said, "If it's just a naval battle, you can make peace with the Hongfan ghosts after the battle. If you capture Taiwan City, it's tantamount to a full-scale war with the Hongfan ghosts."

    Zhao Han asked again: "What is the combat strength of the Hongfan ghost's army?"

    Zheng Zhilong smiled and said, "It's stronger than Daming's guards."

    These words made Zhao Han amused, and after careful questioning, it turned out that they were pretty much the same.

    It cannot be blamed for the fact that the Dutch Army is too weak. Like the soldiers of the Daming Guard, it is all due to problems with their treatment.

    The salary of the Dutch Army is extremely low, and even clothes and hats have to be provided by themselves.

    Most Army soldiers have to find part-time jobs to make money, and even sneak out of the barracks every day to work full-time.

    Their origins are various, and the military training time is only two months. Anyway, it is just casual training, and they are distributed from Batavia to various colonial strongholds.

    Let's put it this way, the training time of the farmers and soldiers under Zhao Han's command is several times that of the Dutch Army.

    Historically, Zheng Chenggong attacked the city of Rezalam, and there were three fortresses in the Netherlands.  Among them, Fort Promincia had a serious shortage of gunpowder reserves, and even the matchlocks of the matchlock guns were moldy. The Dutch army in the fortress was busy working all day to make a living.

    The Dutch reinforcements at that time were even more nonsense. The fleet set off from Batavia and only transported six or seven hundred troops.

    Of these hundreds of army soldiers, only 200 were sent to support Taiwan, and the rest of the troops came to attack Macau, which made the Portuguese in Macau look confused.

    It feels like as long as it lands and fights, the Dutch army is a bunch of psychopaths.

    Zheng Zhilong glanced at his son, and said: "I'm leaving, so Quanzi can go to Ji'an Mansion with my younger brother, and let him go to Jiangxi to see the world."

    "Father, I still have to take the Juren examination." Zheng Sen said.

    "What is the exam?" Zheng Zhilong was very speechless, "Before you pass the exam, Fujian is gone. Where are you going to take the exam?"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll host it when the time comes."

    Fujian is easy to win, and when the time comes there will be a three-pronged approach.

    All the way from the lead mountain to the south, all the way to the east from Chaozhou, all the way to Fuzhou from the sea.

    Since ancient times, Fujian has been an indisputable land for military strategists.

    The land is full of mountains and the land is barrenbsp; Whom to kill?

    Of course it is to kill civil servants who dare to reach out for corruption!

    Zou Guangdi announced again: "Fei Ruhe, head of the Southern Military Academy, is not strict in governing the army. He dismisses all military posts and stays in the army to serve. Ten times with the stick, one mu of land under his name will be taken back!"

    Fei Ruhe was dragged out, at least to save face for him, he didn't take off his pants in public and beat him again.

    "Crack, clap, clap!"

    The people who watched the execution looked incredible.

    They are not familiar with others, but Fei Ruhe is the highest military officer occupying Guangzhou, and led troops to conquer half of Guangzhou.  Before Zhao Han came, Fei Ruhe was the uncle of Guangzhou, and he was in charge of everything.

    Such a general was dismissed because of some trivial matter?

    Then, several high-ranking military officers were pulled out and spanked.  Some were demoted and accepted, and some were pushed to the end. They were charged with accepting bribes from merchants, but they voluntarily handed over dirty money for confiscation.

    "It's dead, it's dead." A merchant trembled, and he had bribed these high-level officers.

    A group of scholars standing at the pier were deeply moved:

    "I am afraid that those who govern the army in ancient and modern times are as strict as the Datong army."

    "I've heard that General Fei, who was dismissed from office, is still the brother-in-law of King Zhao."

    "This man will win the world, I want to go out to assist him."

    "Haha, you still go out to assist. They only recruit reserve officials. If you want to be an official, you have to do things first."

    "I have already inquired about it. As long as you become an official, you can be promoted very quickly. The current magistrate of Nanhai County, who was born in Jiangxi Juren, also started as a civil servant. If Fujian is taken, the magistrate of Nanhai County can be promoted immediately.  Zhizhou."

    "Yes, yes, you can only be an official when you go out of the mountain, but they are promoted quickly. I am going to serve Mr. Zhao. It is too late, so I will be promoted first."

    ,

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The door of the big house in the city was knocked open, and a house slave asked cautiously: "What's the matter, sirs?"

    The official said: "The world is one, and everyone is equal. There is an order in the township that slaves are not allowed. Let us go in quickly, and all the slaves will come to register. All the contracts of sale will be voided, and the slaves can stay as they please. I would like to keep the slaves who work.  , Write clearly the number of years of employment, write clearly the monthly salary!"

    "Master, our family has registered." said the slave.

    "Before, I took the initiative to report to the government. Today is the government's door-to-door inspection. Get out of the way!" the official scolded.

    Five or six official messengers entered the courtyard, and the owner of the house hurried over to greet them.

    An old man took out his money and said with a smile: "Master, the slaves and maidservants at home have reported to the police, and they have been replaced with employment contracts."

    "Take out all the contracts!"

    "Grandpa, wait a moment."

    Not long after, some of the contracts and servants were brought before the leading officials.

    The leading official said: "Write it down, this household bribedhow much?"

    Another official who took the scale said: "A bribe of eight silver coins."

    "The household bribed eight qian, ten times the fine, and eight taels of silver. Quickly take it out!" the official urged.

    "This" The old man began to panic.

    The officer cursed: "Don't you have a brain? In this month, the wharf has killed a civil servant, two military officials, seven second-class government servants, and more than forty people who beat the board. How dare you offer bribes?  You want me to die, don't you?"

    "Don't dare, don't dare, the old man accepts the punishment." The old man hurriedly asked for money to be brought over.

    In private, there must be officials who accept bribes, just like there must be people in the military who have not been found out for corruption.

    But on the bright side, no one dares to be greedy anymore.

    This thing can make meritorious deeds by reporting each other. As long as they make meritorious deeds, they will be promoted soon. Anyway, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere.

    After registering the fine, the contract and servant are verified.

    Several officials rushed into the inner courtyard and began to shout: "Is there any domestic slaves? If you don't register and settle down, you will be a black household vagrant from now on. If you are beaten and killed, the government doesn't care. As long as you register and settle down, your descendants can become officials. Listen.  , As long as you register and settle down, the descendants of domestic slaves can also be officials! Don't think about yourself, but also think about your children and grandchildren!"

    No response.

    An official came to a remote courtyard, and the courtyard was full of firewood.

    "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

    Just when the official was about to leave, there was a sudden burst of noise from a small room where sundries were piled up.

    The official came to open the door, but the door was locked.

    "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

    The official sent immediately blew the bamboo whistle, and other officials rushed over.

    "what happened?"

    "The door is locked, there is movement inside."

    The chief officer turned around and saw that the owners of the house were all frightened.

    "Pry it open!"

    The door was quickly pried open, and there were more than a dozen house slaves locked inside.  Limbs were bound and mouths were gagged.

    The officials were startled, pulled the rag from the mouth of a house slave, and asked, "Why are you imprisoned?"

    The house slave replied: "A few days ago, the master killed a servant with a stick. We are all house slaves in the master's inner courtyard. When he heard that the official came, the master tied us up and hid us."

    "Okay! Grab them and bring them back to the county government office. Don't even think about running away."

    All the officials were surprised and delighted. This is a big case. They have all done meritorious service. Maybe they can be sent to be officials in western Guangdong.

    There are so many pickles by the big family. I wanted to investigate the domestic slaves, but a bunch of cases were found, and the magistrates of Nanhai and Panyu were very busy.

    These officials sent the criminals back to the county government office, but they saw gongs and drums beating on the way.

    A slave sits on a palanquin, with gongs and drums clearing the way ahead, accompanied by suona accompaniment.

    "Boom!"

    Someone rang the gong and shouted loudly: "Congratulations to shopkeeper Lin, congratulations to shopkeeper Lin, once you are free, you will never be a slave forever. Long live Zhao Tianwang!"

    "Crack, clap, clap!"

    Another entourage lit firecrackers, crackling all the way, the scene seemed to be welcoming relatives.

    "Sprinkle money!"

    Sitting comfortably on the palanquin, the slave called shopkeeper Lin ordered his attendants to throw money on the street.

    Many passers-by flocked to pick up money on the ground.

    There was an idler who couldn't squeeze in, so he shouted: "Congratulations to shopkeeper Lin, the children and grandchildren will be rich and honored, and the children and grandchildren will do well."The judiciary officer ordered.

    "Yes." Ordinary officials responded quickly.

    The official of the Department of Anti-corruption took out an official document: "Foshan Xie Shijun, Xie Yunwen and his son bribed Datong military officers 500 taels. With such a bad deed, they refused to repent and bribed 300 taels to Nanhai County Prime Minister. Nanhai County Chancellor has been imprisoned and confessed  , witnesses and material evidence are all there. Xie Shijun, Xie Yunwen and his sons should be arrested and sent to prison immediately, and a trial date will be set for sentencing!"

    Xie Shijun was dragged out and shouted in horror: "I didn't pay bribes, I didn't pay bribes!"

    The ICAC official continued to read: "The servant Xie Chong was instigated by Xie's father and son to bribe, and he was arrested and sent to prison."

    Xie Shijun quickly said: "It was the slave who betrayed the master, and the old man didn't know anything about it!"

    "Whether you know or not, let's talk about it when we arrive at the office of the ICAC." The official of the ICAC sneered.

    Seeing that the Secretary of the Independent Commission Against Corruption had taken the three of them away, the ordinary officials trembled with fright.

    The officials in Guangzhou now call the Secretary of the Integrity "Black Clothes Guard", which is already equivalent to Ming Dynasty's "Bright Clothes Guard".  These guys seem to be everywhere, arresting corrupt officials everywhere, and now they even took away the owner of the Xie family.

    Many wealthy businessmen in Foshan hid at home and dared not go out.

    Their original plan was to cooperate with Zhao Han in everything, and when Zhao Han left Guangzhou, they would knock out the officials with money.

    ?But now the Department of Integrity has suddenly appeared, and the office of the Department of Integrity in Guangzhou has also been officially established.  In the past few days, a group of domestic slaves have also been recruited as spies, making the wealthy businessmen feel insecure, and they always feel that all the servants at home are the eyes of the Secretary of the ICAC.

    Once a bribe is given, at least ten times the fine will be imposed.

    If the bribe exceeds one hundred taels, all the corrupt and bribe-givers will be executed. Several of them have been publicly killed these days.

    The merchants were all terrified, they had never seen anything like this, and they even regretted taking the city and donating it.

    Until this moment, Zhao Han hadn't made it clear what the rules and regulations would be for doing business in the future.

    To govern a group of merchants, do you still need to fight wits and courage?

    First confiscate their firearms, then let them release the slaves, and then what to do with the rest.  Zhao Han was annoyed, so he didn't mind killing a few more, and let the Secretary of the Integrity of Government keep an eye on him from now on.

    By the way, the merchants in Guangzhou are too corrosive. In the future, we will send people from Jiangxi to secretly investigate the Integrity Department in Guangzhou, so as to prevent the merchants from corrupting the Integrity Department.

 Text 271【Change】

    "General town, the prefect of Qiongzhou has surrendered." Zhang Bingwen sent a military report.

    "Dropped?"

    Zhao Han was quite surprised.

    Before landing by boat, the top official of Hainan Island actually offered the city to surrender.

    When I opened the military newspaper, I couldn't help but burst out laughing.

    Jiang Yiming, the magistrate of Qiongzhou, was only a scholar. He spent money to pay tribute to the Imperial College, and then spent money to get a real shortage.  No matter how remote the Qiongzhou Prefecture is, it is already the limit for a scholar to be a magistrate, and it is impossible to be promoted again in this life.

    Moreover, Jiang Yiming is from Quanzhou, Guangxi, which is next to Huguang.

    If he does not surrender, Jiang Yiming has no hope of being promoted, and his hometown is likely to be beaten.  This guy is very smart, and he took the initiative to write a letter to Zhang Tieniu, cooperating inside and outside to donate the city of Qiongzhou.

    Now Zhang Tieniu is fighting across the sea and has occupied the three cities of Qiongzhou, Chengmai and Ding'an.

    The lookout of Lingao County is attached.

    Putting down the military newspaper, Zhao Han said to Zhang Bingwen: "Order Nanhai County Magistrate, Panyu County Magistrate, Xiangshan County Magistrate, Mission Department, and Farmers' Association. If the three counties do not have enough land and excess population, they will all be relocated to Qiongzhou Island. Let them arrange immigration immediately.  The officials were transferred to the Qiongzhou Prefecture to sub-fields."

    Zhang Bingwen sat down immediately and called Hu Mengtai over. After the two finished writing the official document, Zhao Han checked it, signed and stamped it and sent it out.

    There are too many people along the coast of Guangzhou, and the land is not enough to distribute, so a group of people must be relocated, otherwise smuggling will be difficult to stop.

    It happens to be able to be transferred to develop Hainan Island, killing two birds with one stone.

    Alas, immigration is going on again, and more than half of the grain shipped from Jiangxi has been consumed.

    There is no shortage of silver, and the four major customs in Guangdong can provide a lot of tax revenue every month.  But even if you have money, you can’t buy food. Guangdong has suffered three consecutive years of disasters and wars for three consecutive years.

    After thinking for a while, Zhao Han said to Zhang Bingwen again: "Decree that Zhang Tieniu, the hereditary general of Qiongzhou Prefecture, who owns more than a hundred acres of land, will confiscate all his homes! The land will be distributed to military households and common people, and food will be supplied to the immigrants.  grain."

    There are many guards on Hainan Island. Except for dealing with the Li people in the mountains, they have not fought much for more than two hundred years.

    I don't know how many lands these hereditary generals have occupied, and how many people they have hidden.

    After various orders were issued, Zhao Han said to Zhang Bingwen: "I will return to Ji'an in a few days, you can stay and be the magistrate of Qiongzhou."

    "Is this considered exile?" Zhang Bingwen was qualified to joke after following Zhao Han for more than half a year.

    Zhao Han said sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work. From now on, the main tasks are to resettle the refugees, reclaim wasteland, and educate the Li people."

    Since the beginning of the incident, Zhang Bingwen is the third person who has been over-promoted besides the officials of the newly established agency.

    There is no way to set up a new organization. For example, the navy, Gu Jianshan has been the commander of the navy since he came, and needs to train the navy from scratch.  Song Yingxing, Tian Younian and others all belong to this situation.

    The first super-promotion was Liu Huan, the magistrate of Ganzhou in the Ming Dynasty. Due to the complicated situation in southern Jiangxi, he directly served as the magistrate of Ganzhou after the surrender.

    The second super-promotion was Deng Yunzhan, a scholar from Guangzhou who came to seek refuge and was directly promoted to the head of the Guangdong Shipbuilding Department.

    ?The third is Zhang Bingwen, Jiangxi's right minister who surrendered. He only served as Zhao Han's secretary for a few months, and now he is about to be transferred to be the prefect of Qiongzhou.

    At this time, the prefect of Daming Qiongzhou was a guy from a scholar background, so it was conceivable that it was not a good job.

    It is the same as distribution.

    Zhang Bingwen cupped his hands and said: "Do your best."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "If things are done well, you will be promoted to be the right minister of Guangdong in three years' time."

    Zhang Bingwen suddenly became motivated. He is fifty-three years old this year, and if he really wants to be promoted to the magistrate, he will die of old age

    Zhao Han really left whenever he wanted to. He came to Guangzhou for three purposes: one was to meet Zheng Zhilong, the other was to meet the Portuguese, and the third was to frighten Guangzhou merchants.

    The work has been done, what are you left to do?

    Zhao Han needs to rush back to Ji'an to make a series of administrative adjustments.

    ? Change the Chief Secretary of Ming Dynasty to a province, and set up Jiangxi Province, Hunan Province, and Guangdong Province.

    Following the old system of the Ming Dynasty, each province has a chief secretary, an inspection department, and a capital command department, and the administrative, judicial, and military powers are separated.

    The Metropolitan Command Division is temporarily vacant.  Its relevant functions and powers belong to the Military Affairs Department and the Military Academy. At least after the unification of the south, the capital command departments of each province will be established.

    ? Jiangxi Province: Ouyang Zheng, the chief minister of the left, and Huo Tao, the chief minister of the right.

    ?Guangdong Province: Liu Ziren, the chief minister of the left, and Liu Mai, the chief minister of the right.

    &"Colored and printed version of "The Record of the Female Generals of Datong", each set is four taels of silver. There are not many copies, so if you want to buy as soon as possible, first-come-first-served!"

    ""Datong Opera Collection", with score, one tael of silver for a set!"

    "The novel "A Tale of the Great Travelers", two taels of silver a set!"

    ""

    Strong power always brings cultural fashion, especially Wu Bing's "A Tale of Great Travelers".  The diary-style novel records the real life of all walks of life in Jiangxi, and the people in Guangdong are very yearning for it.

    This novel is also interspersed with many bizarre cases and twists and turns of love.

    ?What ordinary people sue officials and win, what aristocratic sons marry good prostitutes, what house slaves marry young ladies after becoming officials.  These contents have been widely circulated, and they are talked about on the streets of Guangzhou, even the illiterate people have heard of them.

    At this very moment, in a certain tea house in Guangzhou, there is a storyteller telling stories, holding a book of fellow travellers: "But it is said that there is a family of slaves named Liu Cong in Tangshui Village, Jishui County, Ji'an Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. Liu Cong was born handsome.  Tall, and also literate, Liu Cong often eavesdrops on the young master's lectures as a teacher at home. There is a young lady in this family, who is third in rank, and she is beautiful"

    The story of a house slave marrying a young lady made the tea drinkers mesmerized, and some scholars cried out that it was ridiculous.

    The social structure of Guangzhou is undergoing drastic changes.

    Zhao Han left Guangzhou for a month and a half, and suddenly a merchant ship fled to Macau: "The Hongfan ghost is here, the Hongfan ghost is here!"

    The Dutch finally appeared, not only from Taiwan, but also from Batavia (Jakarta, Indonesia).

    (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 272【Battle of Macau Attack and Defense】

    The Dutch are not here for Guangzhou, but want to seize Macau!

    From India to China, the Netherlands has only four colonial strongholds.

    Two of them are on the east coast of India, one is in Batavia (Indonesia), and one is in Taiwan City (southwest of Taiwan).

    As the world's number one maritime power, the Netherlands is doing a bit miserably in the East.

    After passing the Cape of Good Hope in Africa, the supply point for the Dutch is Mauritius, which is a bird that doesn't shit.

    Looking around, there are Portuguese colonial ports in all directions.

    The Dutch fleet left Africa and had to bribe the Portuguese to get supplies in India.  Even Denmark's colonial stronghold in India is much better than the Dutch port.

    Arriving in the Straits of Malacca, the Netherlands had to pay Portugal again so that they could get supplies and go to Batavia.

    What's even more ridiculous is that the Netherlands has to pay protection fees to Zheng Zhilong for trade in East Asia and Southeast Asia

    Don't look at Portugal's fight for independence. Once it becomes independent from Spain, it will immediately suffer a heavy blow.  A port on the island of Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and the all-important Malacca, were all to be taken by the Dutch

    Abel Tasman is 35 years old this year. Due to his outstanding performance in several expeditions, he renewed his ten-year contract with the Dutch East India Company last year.

    Historically, in another year, he will serve as the deputy commander of the North Pacific Expedition of the Dutch East India Company.  Then, sailed from Mauritius to uncharted waters, discovered New Zealand and many nearby islands, and explored around Australia.

    At this moment, Abel Tasman is just a senior civilian member of the expedition.

    Their mission this time is to explore the coastal areas of Taiwan, find out how big Taiwan Island is, and draw a map of Taiwan's coast.

    Not long after arriving in Taiwan, the expedition ship was recruited and sailed to the port of North Vietnam together to transport Taiwan's goods there.

    After unloading in North Vietnam, the fleet waited for half a month for the Batavia fleet in the Netherlands.

    "Abel, do you think you can succeed this time?" asked his friend Patrick.

    Abel Tasman replied: "I am skeptical."

    Both of them stopped talking, lying on the side of the boat and looking at the stars, thinking that their governor was mentally retarded.

    ? Last year, the Netherlands raided Malacca, and the raid turned into a tough battle, blocking the Strait for half a year and besieging the city of Malacca for three months.  Nothing was done, but the trade was delayed.

    Coming to fight Macau again this year, it seems that I have forgotten how badly I lost the battle against Macau 16 years ago.

    At that time, a total of 1,300 Dutch soldiers, Japanese mercenaries, and Malay servants landed.  With such confidence in mind, the Dutch commander refused the British participation in the battle, and let two British warships stand aside to watch the fun.

    The Portuguese defenders and Chinese auxiliary soldiers all went to Beijing to serve as mercenaries for Emperor Tianqi.

    The defense of Macau was empty, with only 80 musketeers left, and the rest were all civilians and black slaves.

    After the first battle, 136 Dutch soldiers were killed and 126 were injured.  More than 600 Japanese soldiers and Malay soldiers were killed or injured in total.  On the side of the Macau defenders, 4 Portuguese soldiers and 2 Spanish soldiers were killed, and some black slaves were killed or injured.

    Abel Tasman lay on the deck, looking up at the bright starry sky.

    He likes to explore unknown areas, rather than running to fight, let alone a war that is difficult to win.

    Governor Batavia received two messages.

    First, free trade in Guangzhou, except for the Dutch.

    Second, the Portuguese in Macau expelled the Spaniards, the Macau Guard has been disbanded, and Macau is now garrisoned by the Chinese.

    What are you waiting for?

    ?Hurry up to seize the opportunity, knock down Macau, and then force China to do business.

    Two days later, 15 Dutch warships and 12 armed merchant ships began to bombard the Kangan and Garth Lane Forts in Macau.  Abel Tasman's expedition ship took advantage of its speed to investigate and observe around Macau Island.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Fei Ruhe was dismissed from his post, and he has not fought for the time being. Now he is training in Macau.

    The Macau garrison is now divided into two parts.

    One is the Coast Guard Division, which has 100 artillerymen, more than 80 gunners, and 150 artillery auxiliary soldiers.  The commander is Huang Yunxiao, and half of the artillery soldiers are Portuguese and fishermen from Xiangshan County recruited on the spot.

    One is the Xiangshan Inspection Department, which has 200 firecrackers and 150 ordinary soldiers.  The commander is Tu Tingye, whose duty is to combat smuggling. Although he is stationed in Macau, he will go to Hong Kong from time to time.The soldiers fled together.

    Cavallino was dumbfounded. He knew that shooting at close range was very powerful, but he had never seen any country's army dare to put the enemy so close before firing.

    "Boom!"

    A shell flew over and directly smashed a big hole in the roof of Cavallino's villa.

    These Dutchmen disassembled the ship-mounted guns and were shooting at a certain beach, and they immediately drew back fire from the Macau Fort.

    Thousands of Dutch, Japanese, and Malay soldiers reorganized and circled to both sides of the villa.

    At this moment, 150 soldiers from the inspection department were sent by Tu Tingye to support them.

    "Why didn't Lao Tu come?" Huang Yunxiao asked.

    A military officer replied: "Tu Xunjian asked us to fight slowly. Zheng Zhilong's fleet has been hiding in Guanghaiwei, and it is probably still on the way. Let's beat the Hongfan ghosts away now. How can we deal with the Hongfan ghosts?"  Fleet? The town has an agreement with Zheng Zhilong that we can share half of the captured Hongfan ghost warships."

    "Then don't fight, I'm afraid I can't help but wipe out these red ghosts," Huang Yunxiao said, "Get out of the back door!"

    Cavallino's family and the slaves were forcibly taken away by Huang Yunxiao, and the villa was directly handed over to the Dutch.

    Not long after they withdrew, they heard cheers behind them.

    The Dutch commander drew out his saber: "Take advantage of the victory and pursue, the enemy has already collapsed!"

    Thousands of enemy troops were divided into two teams and attacked the two forts respectively.

    The Japanese ronin seemed to be crazy, thinking that after rushing into Macau, they could loot the civilians there.  The salary given by the Dutchman is very low, and it all depends on the dividends from the usual robbery.

    Running and running, the Malay soldiers came from behind and rushed ahead of the Japanese ronin.

    Huang Yunxiao retreated to the turret, looking at the completely out-of-form enemies below, he felt an urge to counter-charge after shooting in bursts.

    With just one burst of fire and a direct counter-charge, he can wipe out this gang of mobs.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 273 [The Tragic Victory at the Sea Battle] (adding updates for the dual lord "Floating Beyond the Clouds")

    Zheng Zhilong deceived Zhao Han, this guy is purely bragging, he does not have more than twenty big bird ships.

    He only has two!

    The main reason is that the requirements for wood are too high. There is no oak in Fujian and Guangdong, and the better quality iron pear has been cut down.  Hongyi cannons are installed on the bow and stern of the ship, and an improved version of the Franco cannon is installed on the side. If you use fir wood, it is very likely that you will collapse yourself when you fire the cannon.

    Zheng Zhilong's warships can't beat the Dutch warships at all with artillery battles alone.

    One is that the hull is too brittle, and the other is that the firepower is insufficient.

    The first is the problem of the main structure of the hull. The design of the compartment plate and the bottom plate lacks a large number of ribs for reinforcement.  The second is that the wood cannot keep up, and strong wood such as oak cannot be found.  These two reasons made the hull so brittle that even large-caliber artillery dared not be loaded on the ship.

    Due to this situation, Zheng Zhilong later imitated the Western-style hull and built it with a keel and rib structure.  It was a very strange kind of boat, which was seen and drawn by the British. Its hull was of Western style and its sails were of Chinese style.

    At this moment, Zheng Zhilong is asking shipbuilders to build this kind of warship combining Chinese and Western, and it is estimated that it will take a year or two before it can be launched.

    But in any case, Zheng Zhilong is not afraid of the Dutch, because he can win every naval battle.

    Historically, in half a year, the Dutch will fight Zheng Zhilong again.  The nine Dutch warships, including the three-masted battleship, were beaten back to Batavia by Zheng Zhilong and did not dare to come out.

    This was also the last battle between the two sides. From then on, the Dutch paid the protection fee honestly, and the deadlock was not broken until Zheng Chenggong attacked Taiwan City.

    Just when the Dutch soldiers landed in Macau, Zheng Chenggong personally led the fleet and came quickly from Guanghaiwei.

    Through the telescope, the Datong soldiers on the Macau side observed the situation at the watchtower and immediately sent a message to remind them to light the beacon.

    Wan Bangyan's Guangzhou navy was hiding in Tuen Mun, and when he saw the beacon smoke from Macau, he quickly led three Xinhui ships and more than a dozen black boats to help in the battle.

    Fifteen Dutch warships and twelve armed merchant ships saw Zheng Zhilong's fleet appear, and immediately chose to stay away from the coast to avoid being bombarded by the Macau Fort and Zheng Zhilong.

    The main battleship of the Netherlands is the "Middle Burke", with a displacement of about 500 tons. It is the only "giant ship" in the Dutch Eastern Fleet.

    This giant ship participated in the battle of Liuluo Bay, but withdrew early before the battle started.

    The reason for the evacuation was that it was too big and cumbersome, and it was too disadvantageous for offshore operations, and it was easy to be attacked by a large number of small boats by the Ming army.

    At this moment, Zheng Zhilong led more than 270 large and small ships, most of which were offshore galleys, and quickly approached the Dutch fleet with the advantage of speed.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The two sides began to shoot at each other, and the intensity of their firepower was completely incomparable with European naval battles.

    The "Middle Burke", the largest and most powerful ship on the battlefield, is only a Galen ship with a displacement of 500 tons.  There are 251 soldiers on board, 125 sailors, and more than 30 artillery pieces.

    Most of the warships in the Netherlands have a displacement of about two to three hundred tons.  As for Zhao Han's Jiangxi Navy, the largest warships have a displacement of 150 tons.

    Of course, sea warships and inland river warships must not be compared by displacement.

    If the improved Frang cannon on Zheng Zhilong's ship is installed on a Jiangxi navy warship, it only takes a few shots to destroy its own hull.

    I saw Zheng Chenggong's fleet coming from the west and south, encircling the Dutch fleet in a fan shape.

    The shells fired by the Zheng family battleship crackled and hit the enemy, but it seemed to tickle the Dutch battleship.  Although the improved Franco cannon has a fast rate of fire and high accuracy, its power is too small, and it can only cause slight damage after a half-day bombardment.

    There are two types of artillery on Dutch battleships, one is heavy artillery, with a very low hit rate;

    However, the consequences are different.

    Many warships of the Zheng family were hit by a hole, and the fir hull was too rough.

    During the approach between the two sides, two warships of the Zheng family were sunk, and the other four were seriously flooded.

    As for the Dutch warships, only three were severely damaged, and they had nothing to do with the Zheng family. It was the result of the Macao coastal defense artillery.

    The direction of the wind was favorable for the Dutch fleet to break through the siege. It was late autumn at this time, and the sudden northwest wind blew the Dutch warship quickly to the southeast, which happened to be the gap in the three-sided encirclement.

    "Boom!"

    Wan Bangyan is leading the Guangzhou navy to besiege from the east.  After being hit by only one shell, a black boat was seriously flooded. The sailors hurriedly withdrew from the battlefield, and if they slowed down, they might sink.

    ?p; For a century-old navy, the materials used to build ships will take a hundred years.

    Oak and teak are top shipbuilding materials, but they are rarely seen along the coast of China.  It may be very common hundreds of years later, but most of them were introduced from abroad, and it was very difficult to find in China in the late Ming Dynasty.

    There are many teak trees in the Indochina Peninsula, which are distributed in Burma, Thailand, and Laos in later generations.

    Moreover, warships made of teak are of higher quality than oak warships.

    This naval battle woke up Wan Bangyan completely. He lost a Xinhui ship and three black boats. Fortunately, he was able to get three captured Dutch warships.

    After Zhao Han received this letter, he immediately ordered the logging of oak oaks, and transported them over mountains and ridges to Guangzhou for shipbuilding.

    This is a kind of Chinese native oak, and the wood is top-notch.  However, the trees that can be used for shipbuilding must be at least 70 or 80 years old. Basically, they can only be found in deep mountains and old forests, and the transportation cost will be very high.

    As for the offensive and defensive battle in Macau, there is no suspense.

    Once the naval battle started, all the Dutch soldiers who landed and fought were dumbfounded.  Their ship is retreating, and they I haven't boarded the ship yet!

    More than a thousand Dutch, Japanese, and Malay soldiers were preparing to attack the fort.  Seeing that the naval battle started and the gun body was getting farther and farther away, the commander immediately ordered to retreat.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Under the bombardment of the fort and the pursuit of the defenders, the retreat quickly turned into a rout.

    Don't count on the morale of these people, a group of Dutch soldiers whose salaries are not enough to support themselves, a group of Japanese ronin hired to rob, a group of semi-slaved Malay natives.  Their combat quality is not much better than that of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

    Sixteen years ago, a Dutch soldier who was captured by the Macau defenders pleaded to convert to Catholicism in order to survive.

    Catholicism and Protestantism are regarded as heretics to each other, and they are fighting for their lives.  Not only is the combat effectiveness of the Dutch Army worrying, but their beliefs are also very problematic.

    Of course, the Portuguese are not much better.

    Due to the excessive exploitation by the Portuguese king, many Portuguese in India directly converted to Green religion and Hinduism

    "Here's another one!"

    The discoverer of New Zealand and the surveyor of Australia, Abel Tasman, 35, had his expedition ship sunk.  After finally swimming back to the shore, a group of Macau defenders rushed towards us.

    Abel Tasman, a Dutch Protestant, raised his hands very simply and shouted in Portuguese: "I am a Catholic, don't kill me!"

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 274【Pan Qimei】

    ,

    The Dutch have always been very confident and always take the initiative to launch mysterious attacks in Asia.

    For example, eight years later in history, 18 warships and 800 soldiers were divided into three groups to swallow the entire Philippines.

    They robbed Chinese merchant ships at sea, intercepted the Spanish American treasure ship, landed along the way and constantly incited the rebellion of the natives of the Philippines, and finally took the native rebels to Manila to fight Spain.

    The battle lasted eight months, and the Spanish defenders suffered dozens of casualties.

    However, the Dutch East India Company, its Far East branch, directly collapsed financially, and has since been unable to expand in the Far East.

    ? Such confusing behavior, I don't know if it is caused by the joint-stock system.  Listed companies are easy to be coerced by stock prices. The Dutch East India Company is eager to expand, probably to show shareholders its performance.

    The attack on Macau this time is also puzzling.

    Even if the Netherlands takes Macau down, can this place be occupied for a long time?  Not to mention forcing Zhao Han to do business!

    "Well, can you" Huang Yunxiao hesitated to speak.

    After Fei Ruhe was dismissed from the military, he could only train in Macau, and he had no command power for the time being. This time, he watched the battle of Macau defense.

    "Speak if you have something to say, fart as soon as you have something to say, don't hesitate." Fei Ruhe said angrily.

    Huang Yunxiao scratched his head: "Although this Franji man from Macau is not a Chinese, he also has a temporary household registration. Cancan you intermarry?"

    "Which family's daughter?" Fei Ruhe asked.

    Huang Yunxiao was a little embarrassed: "It's the house that was attacked by the red ghosts. The youngest daughter of Councilor Cavallino. The name is pretty nice, and her name is Eliza (white)."

    "It's ok, just abduct a barbarian woman after a battle." Fei Ruhe teased.

    Huang Yunxiao just smirked.

    This guy commanded the battle sharply, making the Dutchman run all over the ground.  Elizabeth, a little girl, watched the whole battle in her own villa, and was immediately fascinated by it.

    The Portuguese in Macau have settled down for decades and inevitably intermarried with the Chinese.  Cavallino, as a Macau member, was also willing to marry the Macau Coast Guard Commander, so he came to propose marriage after the war.

    After Fei Ruhe was beaten this time, his personality became more and more cautious. He said: "Your situation is very complicated. I have to write to the general town to ask. Wait slowly."

    After Huang Yunxiao left, Abel Tasman was brought over.

    Abel Tasman knelt down and begged directly: "Great Chinese general, please spare my life and don't hand me over to the Portuguese."

    "What did he say?" Fei Ruhe asked.

    The interpreter replied: "The Hongfan ghost has a feud with Frangji, and he begged the general not to hand himself over to Frangji."

    Fei Ruhe asked, "What do you do?"

    Abel Tasman said: "Returning to the general, I am a senior employee of the Dutch East India Company's expedition team. My ideal is to be a great explorer."

    Fei Ruhe was rather puzzled: "What is an explorer?"

    Abel Tasman said: "It is driving a sailboat to find islands and continents in unknown seas. You can also explore unknown mountains, forests, and rivers after landing."

    "What's what's the use? Which craft do you rely on for a living?" Fei Ruhe still couldn't understand.

    Abel Tasman replied: "I renewed a ten-year senior employment contract with the Dutch East India Company. I help the company find continents and islands, and help the company explore known land. I can survey and draw maps, and I understand astronomy.  I also know about navigation, and I can also explore mineral deposits. Three years ago, I assisted the expedition commander and discovered a large copper mine in the Spice Islands."

    "Oh, you can still prospect for mines? It seems that you are a useful talent." Fei Ruhe finally became interested.

    Seeing the change in Fei Ruhe's attitude, Abel Tasman quickly said: "Yes, General, I am an expert in prospecting. I can explore natural treasures for you."

    Fei Ruhe nodded and smiled, "I'll send you to Ji'an. You are in charge of prospecting, and those Japanese pirates are in charge of mining. Haha, they complement each other."

    More than 800 Dutch, Japanese, and Malay soldiers were captured this time.

    Except for a few with special skills, all the others are thrown away for mining.  What a waste to kill directly, you must make the best use of it.

    Zhao Han lacks everything now, except for all kinds of mines.

    Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong are full of mountains and mines!

    Lianzhou, Nangang Pai.

    ? King Zhao Tian had already sent someone to deliver the bride price, two big fat pigs, two geese, ten chickens, five hundred catties of grain, and a largeAccording to the newspaper, Huguang completely occupied Baoqing Mansion and Yongzhou Mansion a month ago.

    ?On the Hunan border to the south of Yuezhou Prefecture, only Chenzhou Prefecture, Baojing Xuanweisi, and Yongshun Xuanweisi remained unconquered—they are all rolling mountains, poor and remote, and there are especially many ethnic minorities.

    Zhao Han put down the military newspaper and wrote to Huang Yao and others, planning to send troops after the summer harvest next year.

    At that time, the Jiangxi Navy will also be dispatched, and Huang Yao's North Academy soldiers will attack Yuezhou Mansion and Changde Mansion from north to south, and take down the entire Dongting Lake Plain.

    As for the remote mountainous areas in the west of Hunan, don't go to capture those places for the time being.

    "Chief Town, the bride is here!"

    Zhao Han put down his brush and came to the courtyard. Pan Qimei had already been carried in and was looking around curiously.

    That is Zhao Tianwang?

    Sure enough, she was tall, powerful, and handsome, and Pan Qimei blushed immediately.

    Zhao Han was very curious about the beauties selected by the Yao people. When he saw them at this moment, he immediately knew the aesthetic tendencies of those Yao people.

    Seeing Pan Qimei, Zhao Han's first reaction was that her breasts were so big, and her second reaction was that she was really short.  When he got closer, his face was tender enough to squeeze out water, and his round face was still covered with baby fat. At this time, his face was as red as a red apple.

    The aesthetics of the Yao elders can be summed up as: big breasts, big buttocks, good fertility.  The face should be fair and the skin should be tender.  There are calluses in the palm of the hand, which means that you can work.

    A little girl about 1.5 meters tall, with a round face and big breasts.

    ? Four words to describe: Tong Yan giant x.

    Zhao Han swears that he is definitely not a lolicon, and he never thought of accepting a concubine of this type.

 Body 275 [Three Loyalties of Lingnan]

    ,

    After the reward was given, the crowd dispersed.

    Zhao Han smiled and waved: "Come here."

    Pan Qimei studied Mandarin for a month, and her vocabulary was within 100.  She imitated the appearance of a girl from the Han family, bent down and saluted and said, "All blessings, my husband!"

    The accent is a bit weird, but interesting.

    "Stop standing there, go into the room and talk." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Pan Qimei didn't understand much, but she followed along and crossed the threshold generously.

    Zhao Han picked up the teapot by hand, and just as he was about to pour tea, Pan Qimei immediately came over, grabbed the handle of the pot and said, "II"

    "Pour tea?" Zhao Han asked.

    Pan Qimei nodded again and again: "I'll pourtea."

    Zhao Han sat down and asked, "How old is this year?"

    Pan Qimei was a little dazed while holding the teapot. This Chinese sentence seemed to have been taught by her husband, but it seemed that she hadn't.

    At this time, Ba Pai Yao had a deep level of Chinese, and the closer to the county town, the more Yao people who could speak Chinese.  However, Pan Qimei is an authentic mountain girl who has never left the village since she was a child.

    Zhao Han had a headache, so he immediately called the guards, trying to find someone who could speak Chinese from the send-off team.

    I quickly found one, but he could only speak Cantonese, so I had to add a Cantonese translator.

    Concubine Ji, who Zhao Han just accepted, needs two translators if they want to communicate with each other

    "What's your name?" Zhao Han asked.

    The Cantonese translator immediately relayed it, and the Yao language translator relayed it again.

    Pan Qimei replied: "My surname is Pan, and my name is Pan Qimei."

    "There is only a surname, but no first name?" Zhao Han asked.

    This time, Pan Qimei didn't need to answer. The Yao translator explained: "In Zongzhen, not only women, but also many Yao family men only have surnames, and they are named after their family rankings."

    Zhao Han recruited Hu Mengtai and told him: "Write it down, the teachers who will be sent to Yao Village in the future not only Yao Village, but also Tong Village (Zhuang) and Miao Village. Teachers must give the local people Chinese names. Otherwise,  This household registration must have a lot of duplicate names, which is extremely unfavorable to government household registration management."

    As a secretary, Hu Mengtai immediately took out a small notebook to write down.

    Zhao Han said: "You will be called Pan Yao from now on, Yao from the Yao nationality."

    "Pan Yao, Pan Yao," Pan Qimei repeated in Chinese, and said with a smile, "Okay, the name Pan Yao sounds very nice."

    The little girl had dimples when she smiled, and her appearance was even cuter.

    Zhao Han asked again: "How old are you?"

    "Sixteen." Pan Qimei replied.

    Zhao Han directly asked the Yao translator: "Do you talk about false age or real age?"

    The Yao translation said: "Xian Sui."

    Well, the girl who is only 15 years old is really mature.

    Do you eat papaya every day?  The chest is so big.

    Moreover, the waist is not thick, and I don't know how it grew.

    "How many people are there in the family?"

    "Eight people, all the older sisters are married."

    ""

    After some homework, Pan Qimei completely relaxed, and felt that this Zhao Tianwang was very easy to get along with.

    After dinner in the evening, all the rest left, leaving only Zhao Han and Pan Qimei.

    I don't know whether it was the etiquette teacher's random teaching, or the traditional customs of Ba Pai Yao, Pan Qimei stood at the dining table and dared not sit down.

    The two sides could not communicate, she could only stand there stupidly.

    Zhao Han smiled and took her hand: "Sit down and eat."

    "Okay." After sitting down, Pan Qimei laughed happily.

    Zhao Han held on to her hand, opened his fingers and saw that there were many calluses on the palm of his hand.  Looking at the back of the hand, there are also some scars, which left very shallow marks after healing. It is estimated that they were scratched by rice leaves when cutting rice.

    It seems that he often does farm work, but his face is very fair, maybe he is wearing a straw hat or something, and his face is not exposed to the sun much.

    Zhao Han pulled up her sleeves, the color of the skin on her wrists was similar to that on the back of her hands, much darker than her face.

    "You Yao elders have a heart." Zhao Han couldn't help laughing.

    Pan Qimei couldn't understand, so she just laughed along with Zhao Han.

    "Have a meal."

    Zhao Han was afraid that she could not use chopsticks, and was about to cover up, when Pan Qimei had already picked up the chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

    Seeing that Zhao Han didn't move the chopsticks first, Pan Qimei put down the chopsticks again. This kind of etiquette was probably taught by my husband.  Ba Pai Yao specially invited a teacher to teach etiquette and speak Chinese at the same time.

    Zhao Han smiled,bsp; Later, it was activated by Emperor Longwu, and Chen Bangyan led troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty. His concubine and his two sons were captured by the Qing army, forcing him to surrender immediately.  Chen Bangyan replied: "The concubine humiliated her, and her son killed her. As a loyal minister, I don't care about my wife."

    Then, Chen Bangyan withdrew from Guangzhou and turned to attack Sanshui, Xinhui, and Xiangshan, winning three battles and three victories.

    When defending Qingyuan City, the Qing army dug tunnels and blasted the city wall.  Chen Bangyan's second son died in a street fight. Chen Bangyan himself was stabbed three times and committed suicide by throwing himself into the water and was picked up by the Qing army.  After being arrested and taken to Guangzhou, Chen Bangyan still refused to surrender. He went on a hunger strike for five days in prison and was killed by the Qing army.

    There are three Zhongzhong in Lingnan, and there is another Zhongzhong named Chen Zizhuang, who lives in Guangzhou at this time.

    ?It was also the tragic death of the whole family, and Chen Zizhuang died the worst, because he was the leader of the Guangdong Anti-Qing Dynasty.

    He was tied up and sawed in half from the top of his head. Due to the shaking of his body, he could only saw off the scalp.  Chen Zizhuang shouted to the executioner: "Idiot, people in the world (saw) need wooden planks!"

    The executioner quickly tied Chen Zizhuang to a wooden board and sawed him alive.

    After being sawed open, Chen Zizhuang was still reciting the poem of Jue Ming: "Where does the golden branch go, and whose house is the jade leaf? Lao Gen once wished to die, and vowed not to let the spring flowers bloom."

    The younger brother, Chen Zisheng, hid in the mountains with his mother.  Hearing of her son's sacrifice, Chen's mother hanged herself.  His concubine, Zhang Yuqiao, was taken in by Li Chengliang, a general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Hearing the news of her husband's death, she slayed herself.

    Chen Zizhuang was dismissed by Chongzhen as the right servant of the Ministry of Rites and returned to his hometown.

    As long as he is willing to seek refuge, scholars from Guangdong will flock to him.  It's a pity that this person is also from a wealthy family, and he is very dissatisfied with Zhao Han's behavior of dividing the land.

    "Alas, of the three loyalists in Lingnan, only one and half are loyal." Zhao Han sighed again.

    Zhang Jiayu asked: "Who are the three loyalists in Lingnan?"

    Zhao Han said perfunctorily, "An ancient hero."

    Of the three loyalists in Lingnan, one came to serve on his own initiative, the other only wrote articles and made suggestions, and the other hid in the academy.

 Text 276 [Going Home] (addition for the double leader "hello Mr. Fu")

    Zhao Han chatted with Zhang Jiayu about Chen Zizhuang, and his words showed a solicitation.

    Zhang Jiayu suddenly said: "Mr. Qiutao has a younger brother named Chen Zisheng, maybe he can be recruited first to work."

    "How talented is his younger brother?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhang Jiayu replied: "He is good at piano and poetry. His piano skills are excellent, and there is no one in the south of the Lingnan. He also composed many piano songs, all of which have lingering sounds."

    It turned out to be a musician.

    Zhang Jiayu also said: "Chen Zisheng has a close friend named Kuang Lu. This person is a peerless talent. He knows everything about poetry, calligraphy, rhythm, gold and stone, military art, archery, riding and archery He also went to Macau and learned western culture.  Yi's firecrackers and fencing skills."

    "Why haven't I heard of this person?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhang Jiayu said: "Kuang Lu is a bohemian man who despises etiquette and is currently seeking refuge in Guangxi."

    "Why did you escape to Guangxi?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhang Jiayu said: "Four years ago, Kuang Lu rode a drunken horse and went to the Lantern Night Market. Huang Xi, the magistrate of Nanhai County, also happened to come out to appreciate the lanterns. Kuang Lu did not avoid the ceremony of honor, and even wrote a poem on the spot: "Riding a donkey by accident  According to the Huayin decree, if you lose a horse, you will be replaced with the old man'. Huang Xi, the county magistrate, hated him because of this, and made things difficult for the Kuang family in every possible way, and Kuang Lu left his hometown to avoid disaster."

    "Haha, what a magistrate who exterminated the family," Zhao Han said with a smile, "What else is interesting about this person?"

    Zhang Jiayu said: "Kuang Lu was able to write poetry at the age of five, and he took the Daoist test at the age of fifteen. He answered the paper in five scripts: Zhen, Xing, Cao, Zhuan and Li.  At the end of the day, Kuang Lu laughed wildly and walked away."

    Zhao Han shook his head and laughed: "What a crazy student, he dared to offend the envoy at the age of fifteen."

    In fact, Kuang Lu's deeds in Guangdong are just the beginning.

    After he was retaliated by the magistrate, he traveled all over China rather than leaving his hometown to avoid disaster.  Beizhi, Nanzhi, Shandong, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Guangxi half of China was traveled by Kuang Lu, recording mountains and rivers, ethnic customs, rare birds and animals, and interesting anecdotes along the way.

    At this moment, Kuang Lu is dating a female chieftain of the Yao ethnic group in Guangxi, and has also become the female chieftain's clerk.

    Such a wild and unrestrained talent, immediately went to Nanjing to offer advice to save the country after the fall of Beijing.

    Later, he defended Guangzhou for ten months, and the city of Guangzhou was broken because of the traitors colluding with the enemy and offering the city.

    Seeing that the defeat was irretrievable, Kuang Lu took off her armor, went home and put on a Confucian shirt, holding the famous piano "Lvqitai", and walked to the street laughing wildly.

    He collided with the Manchu and Qing cavalry, and the Qing soldiers wanted to kill him. He hugged the piano and laughed: "What is this? Can you play with each other?" The Qing soldiers also laughed, and regarded him as a lunatic.

    Seeing that the Qing soldiers did not kill him, Kuang Lu went home again and kept her life collection by her side.  Playing the piano while singing, holding the piano and dying of hunger strike.

    His eldest son, Kuang Hong, led more than a thousand rebels, and died in a battle with Qing troops in the eastern suburbs of Guangzhou.

    Zhang Jiayu said: "This person has great ambitions, and he has become dissolute only because of the corruption of the world. The town's administration is clear and bright. If Kuang Lu returns to his hometown, he is likely to be willing to serve him."

    "If this person returns to his hometown, let him go to the General Military Mansion to listen to him, and Chen Zisheng will also invite Ji An to listen to him." Zhao Han nodded.

    Now Jiangxi officials account for more than 90% of the officials from the three provinces.

    This is not a good phenomenon, and the promotion of officials from Hunan and Guangdong must be accelerated.  But Zhao Han couldn't destroy the promotion system, so he went to Guangzhou this time to search for Cantonese scholars like Zhang Jiayu, and brought them back to the General Military Mansion as a secretary.

    On the other side of Hunan, there were also a few scholars who were recruited by Zhao Han to be secretaries because of their outstanding performance.

    First, through these secretaries, Hunan and Guangdong affairs can be handled more accurately.  Second, it can also be released in the future to increase the number of middle and high-level officials in the two provinces.

    This Kuang Lu was reserved by Zhao Han.

    In fact, Kuang Lu was already on his way back to his hometown at this time. He had been away from home for four years and missed his wife and children.  It was the female chieftain who was pestering him, reluctant to let him go, and stayed for another month

    After Pan Qimei finished washing, she was led to the bedroom by the maid, but she didn't see Zhao Han return to the room for a long time.

    She waited left and right, and was tired from the journey, so she fell asleep on the bed without knowing it.

    "Yeah!"

    I don't know how long it took, but the sound of opening the door woke Pan Qimei from her sleep.

    She quickly sat up and wiped the drool from her mouth.

    Zhao Han took off his coat, threw it away casually, and said with a smile, "You don't even change your clothes when you take a shower."

    Pan Qimei changed into a set of underwear, but she was still wearing her wedding attire, which had to be taken off by the newlyweds together.

    Zhao Han came over and was very interested in her hair accessories.He said: "The whole of Jiangxi is gradually becoming like this, and Guangdong will do the same in a few years."

    These entourages dispersed separately.

    Zhao Han took Pan Qimei and went straight to the inner house of the General Army Mansion.

    Fei Rulan went to a girls' school to be a teacher for half a day, and stayed at home to take care of various affairs.  She had already received the news of Zhao Han's return, and stood at the gate of the courtyard to welcome her with her children and servants.

    "Husband!"

    Fei Rulan was full of joy, and then saw Pan Qimei beside Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han took out a silver hairpin from his pocket: "I saw them in Guangzhou, and they looked good, so I bought a few. Xiaomei and Rumei also have them."

    "It's so beautiful." Fei Rulan held the silver hairpin and said with a smile, "This is my younger sister."

    Zhao Han introduced: "Pan Yao, Pan Qimei, she doesn't speak Chinese very much."

    On the way, Pan Qimei learned some more, and still remembered the etiquette taught by her husband.  She bowed low and said, "Sister Wanfu!"

    Fei Rulan didn't show jealousy at all, she took Pan Qimei's hand and said, "Come in and talk."

    Boys and girls have fast metabolism.

    ?Since she won the beauty pageant, Pan Qimei has not done rough work for a long time, and the calluses in her hands are gradually disappearing. Fei Rulan didn't feel anything strange when she held her hand.

    Zhao Han picked up the gun and walked to the courtyard: "Little sister is studying today?"

    "It's a holiday and I went to the Mathematical Society. There seems to be some kind of math party today." Fei Rulan said.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "It's good that she has something to do."

    Fei Rulan said: "Sister, do you live here, or do you clean up and go into the yard?"

    "Let's live here first, she doesn't understand the language, learn Chinese first before speaking," Zhao Han put down the gun, and hugged Fei Rulan from behind, "Miss, do you miss me?"

    Fei Rulan's heart felt sweet, and she blushed and said, "Let go, my sister and the servants are here."

    "Don't be afraid, let them watch." Zhao Han felt tired for a while, but he was actually afraid that Fei Rulan would be jealous.

    Pan Qimei smiled, and then looked around the yard, thinking that a row of chicken coops could be placed in the corner of the yard, otherwise it would be a waste of space.

 Text 277【War is Gambling】

    When Zhao Han returned to Ji'an, the battle situation in Beizhili was somewhat stalemate.

    ? Yang Sichang was transferred from Beijing to Hubei to fight against the bandits, which seemed to have little effect on the war in the north.

    Why Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian conspired to frame Lu Xiangsheng, the content of the story is very similar to a novel.  Even if he really wanted to be framed, he wouldn't be so low-level, otherwise how could Yang Sichang be trusted by the emperor all the time?

    The real situation is that Lu Xiangsheng took the initiative to suggest the division of troops, and wrote a letter to discuss with Yang Sichang, and Yang Sichang agreed to the division plan.

    This can be verified through the memorials of the two men. Lu Xiangsheng chose to divide his troops according to the situation of the battle. The original words in his memorial can be summarized as follows: the gathering of armies from all walks of life seems to be combined, but it is actually bloated and a waste of troops;  Form a lone army.  Combining troops to hoard and divide troops to defend the city are taboos for military strategists, and they should be divided and united according to the trend of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

    The Qing army divided its troops, so Lu Xiangsheng also divided his troops, otherwise he would let the Manchus plunder the place.

    Yang Sichang was very cooperative and asked Lu Xiangsheng to lead the Xuanda army with a strength of 31,500.  Fearing that Lu Xiangsheng would make a mistake, he dispatched troops from Jizhen, so Lu Xiangsheng had 40,000 troops, surpassing Gao Qiqian's 39,000.

    In this time and space, Yang Sichang was transferred away, and Lu Xiangsheng led the war.

    The start is exactly the same, without any change.  The troops were divided into two groups. Lu Xiangsheng had 40,000 troops from Xuanda, Shanxi, Jizhen, and Baoding, and Gao Qiqian controlled 39,000 troops.

    The next changes are still exactly the same.

    Chen Xinjia, governor of Xuanda, was transferred to Beizhili to guard the imperial mausoleum, and Lu Xiangsheng allocated part of the army to him.

    At the same time, some key cities and strongholds must be stationed with troops, and the tasks are assigned to Jizhen, Baoding and some Shanxi soldiers.

    The situation became, Lu Xiangsheng led 16,000 people, chasing and blocking the Qing army all the way.  Chen Xinjia led 4,500 people to guard the imperial tomb.  With a high dive rate of 39,000 people, they pursued and intercepted another Qing army.  The remaining troops are all used to defend strategic points.

    Let us see how the battle situation changed dramatically.

    Changping, Imperial Mausoleum.

    "General system, North Hebei Daotang Newspaper!"

    "Bring it!"

    Chen Xinjia snatched the military newspaper, which was sent by Zhu Jiashi in North Hebei Province.

    ?Wu Yijing, the supervisor, reported to the magistrate of Shanyin County that he had discovered that the Qing army had passed through Longquan Pass, and the news was passed on to Chen Xinjia.

    Prior to this, Chen Xinjia also received a military report saying that the Qing army had arrived at Huolu and was going to enter Shanxi through Jingxing.

    Both military newspapers indicated that the Qing army was going to Shanxi.

    It's just that one takes Longquan Pass and the other takes Guguan, two completely opposite routes.

    After thinking carefully, Chen Xinjia took up a pen and wrote a pond report to the Ministry of War. The general content was: the day before yesterday in the Huotang report, there were Da slaves in Zhending, and the outposts had reached Huolu and Jingxing, and Bengu was locked out of Shanxi.  Today, according to the Daotang newspaper in Northern Hebei, the Nuyi have passed through Longquan Pass, which is exactly the same as the previous Tangbao newspaper.

    In the hands of Chen Xinjia, the two completely opposite pond newspapers matched perfectly, and he even dared to send them to the Ministry of War.

    Historically, it was Chen Xinjia's military situation that led to Lu Xiangsheng's death alone.

    Among them, Yang Sichang was also blamed, because after Yang Sichang received the information, he immediately transferred Chen Xinjia and others back to Shanxi.

    Then, Yang Sichang wrote to Lu Xiangsheng again, saying that the Qing soldiers had passed through Longquan Pass.  Lu Xiangsheng thought that the Manchus had divided their troops and had gone to plunder Shanxi, so he immediately dispatched Wang Pu and other elite generals to pursue them. As a result, only a few thousand of his own troops were left to be surrounded and wiped out.

    Like Xiong Wencan, Chen Xinjia was recommended by Yang Sichang.

    After all, Yang Sichang and Chen Xinjia were not familiar with geography, which led to misjudgment.  Or did it on purpose, wanting to kill Lu Xiangsheng?

    It's all possible, but it's not clear, and future generations can only guess.

    Now because of the rise of Zhao Han, Yang Sichang was transferred to Hubei instead of blindly directing in Beijing.

    There are a lot of servants of the Ministry of War, all of whom have been sent to the local governors, leaving only the left servant Xie Wenjin and the right servant Sun Bixian.

    These two people were both from the Donglin Party and were promoted by Yang Sichang.

    However, Yang Sichang and the Donglin Party belonged to the deadly rivals. The fact that these two people were able to be promoted probably betrayed the Donglin Party.

    After receiving the military report, Xie Wenjin immediately said: "The military situation is so important, please quickly report it to His Majesty for discussion!"

    Sun Bixian frowned. He had experience as an inspector in Shanxi, and he himself was from Shaanxi.  He knew some general military knowledge and some geography of Shanxi. The military situation sent by Chen Xinjia seemed problematic no matter how he looked at it.

    There are only tens of thousands of Tartars entering the customs this time.  The troops have been divided before, how can they be divided into two groups now, and go to Shanxi from two opposite routes.He said, "The information that the slaves have passed the Longquan pass was sent by the magistrate of Shanyin. If it is true, it means that the slaves have already arrived in Shanxi."

    "If the Tartars had gone to Shanxi earlier, then the Tartars we chased these days were all ghosts?" Hu Dawei asked back.

    Li Chongzhen's judgment was exactly the same as that of Xie Wenjin, the left servant of the Ministry of War: "Maybe the Tartars have divided their troops, and one of them is looting in front, leading the main force of our army to go south. A small group is going to Guguan to confuse our army. The Tartars on the West Road  The main force actually went to Shanxi secretly."

    Wang Pu said: "Before the Tartars divided their troops into two groups, how could the West Road Tartars divide into three groups?"

    The pressure to judge the military situation fell entirely on Lu Xiangsheng at this time.

    Historically, the military information received by Lu Xiangsheng has been processed by Chen Xinjia, and then judged by Yang Sichang, and it has long been changed beyond recognition.  He was so frightened that he quickly dispatched heavy troops to Shanxi, which led to his being surrounded alone.

    What was received at this moment was only Chen Xinjia's roughly processed information, and Lu Xiangsheng was equally confused.

    This thing can only be guessed!

    ? If you guess wrong, you will lose the whole game.

    Lu Xiangsheng retired from the generals, and dug out all the military newspapers for the past month to compare the time, place, and route.

    Lu Xiangsheng vaguely felt that the Manchus did not divide their troops to Shanxi.

    But he can't be sure, because the other military newspapers in his hand are also very likely to be inaccurate.

    Still have to guess

    "Order the generals to pursue the original route and not return to defend Shanxi!" Lu Xiangsheng had to take a gamble.

 Text 278【Suffering】

    Lu Xiangsheng was very tired, physically and mentally exhausted.

    Whether it is the original history or this time and space, there will be a big debate on whether to negotiate a peace this year.

    However, when the Qing army arrived in Beijing, the battle between war and peace was essentially over.

    Soldiers are approaching the city, and a ghost is still negotiating peace?

    No matter how mentally retarded the Manchu monarchs and ministers were, they would never imagine that the Manchus could still negotiate peace when they fought in Beijing.

    Historically, the core of the conflict between Lu Xiangsheng, Yang Sichang, and Gao Qiqian was not the main battle and the main peace written in "History of Ming Dynasty", but a completely different strategic approach!

    Lu Xiangsheng belongs to the "main combat faction", actively fighting and waiting for opportunities to wipe out the enemy.

    ?Gao Qiqian belongs to the "war-avoiding faction", hoarding heavy troops and passively defending.

    ? Yang Sichang belongs to the "War Stability Faction", divides troops to defend the city, and avoids waves of warfare.

    Both Yang Sichang and Gao Qiqian expected the Manchus to leave as soon as they were finished.  The only difference was that Gao Qiqian didn't dare to fight at all, while Yang Sichang was willing to fight with full confidence.

    In order to prevent Lu Xiangsheng from rushing into the waves, Yang Sichang even deliberately delayed the supply of grain and grass.

    "Supervisor, we are running out of food and grass!"

    "Send someone back to ask for food."

    Lu Xiangsheng was not only fighting against the Manchus, he was also fighting against the civilian and military generals around him.

    ? Even if Yang Sichang was transferred from Beijing, the situation still cannot be changed.

    Because Gao Qiqian did not want to fight in the field, the generals under Lu Xiangsheng also did not want to fight in the field.  Therefore, the former withheld food and grass, while the latter obeyed and violated, in order to force Lu Xiangsheng not to run around.

    Generals like Wang Pu, with 8,000 troops in command, are likely to retreat without a fight at critical moments.

    For the generals of the border town, even if the whole of Nanzhili was robbed, as long as Beijing was not taken down by the Manchu Qing.  The people were burned, killed and looted. This matter has nothing to do with them. They just want to keep their troops.

    Even if the troops were saved, even if they returned in a big defeat, the emperor would not dare to punish them severely.

    ? If you lose your troops, even if you win a big victory, you may lose your official position and go to prison for no reason.

    That being the case, why take the initiative to seek field battles?

    ? Follow them two or three hundred miles away, and wait for the Manchus to leave after the robbing, wouldn't it be good for them to "recover" the lost ground?

    Lu Xiangsheng was inspecting the barracks when there was a commotion in one place.  He hurriedly rode there, met the messenger on the way, and immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

    "Supervisor, Li Zhongzhen's department has been complaining about the salary, saying that it has not been paid for two months. Recently, they are still reducing meals, and they all complain that they are not full." The reporter said.

    Lu Xiangsheng sighed helplessly, and rode over to appease the troubled soldiers.

    He holds the Shangfang sword in his hand, and the governor of the world works hard for the king's soldiers and horses.  But Gao Qiqian is the director, supervising the soldiers and horses in the world. Yang Sichang is not in Beijing, and all food and grass are controlled by Gao Qiqian.

    If Lu Xiangsheng was really killed, it was absolutely impossible to be framed by one or two people.

    Instead, the civilian and military generals in charge of leading the troops will kill him. Only when Lu Xiangsheng is dead, everyone will not have to fight tough battles.  Only when Lu Xiangsheng is dead can he guard the city with peace of mind and wait for Manqing to leave by himself!

    "Report!!!!!!"

    Just as Lu Xiangsheng appeased the soldiers who were making noise, a spy came to report: "Master, the Mandarin slaves are besieging Julu, and the magistrate of Julu sent someone to ask for help!"

    "Explore again!"

    Lu Xiangsheng summoned all the generals to discuss the matter, and said: "The slave army is just outside Julu City, and will march south tomorrow! The army of Gao Jianjun (Gao Qiqian) is in Linqing, and I have sent someone to ask him to join forces to kill the enemy!"

    "This must be a strategy to lure the enemy by besieging the city and fighting for reinforcements. Don't act rashly," Wang Pu said.

    Li Chongzhen said: "The emperor didn't send hungry soldiers. The soldiers lack food and pay, and their morale is low. How can we fight without enough food and pay?"

    Li Guozhu sighed: "Let's talk about it when the troops of the High Supervision Army join forces."

    Hu Dawei and the other generals bowed their heads in silence, obviously not agreeing to rescue Julu.

    Lu Xiangsheng holds Shang Fang's sword in his hand, and he has nothing to do with these generals.

    Because the generals are right, the Manchu Qing must be besieging the city to fight for aid.  Moreover, the emperor did not send hungry soldiers, and if he did not give enough food and pay, the soldiers were likely to break out in mutiny.

    Forcibly ordering an attack, or killing people to establish power, there will be a mutiny immediately!

    Lu Xiangsheng had no choice but to give up, while waiting for food and grass, while waiting for Gao Qi to sneak over to join forces.

    Regarding the shortage of food and grass, it is really not all Gao Qiqian deliberately making things difficult.

    The Manchu and Qing dynasties wreaked havoc along the way, and the officers and soldiers could not gather food on the spot, so they could only transport it from Beijing.  They drove Manqing southward, and the food road got longer and longer, almost reaching the border of Shandong.

    There is not much food and grass, Gao Qiqian naturally supplies himself first, and then throws the rest to Lu Xiangsheng.

    Lu Xiangsheng just kept waiting,?.

    Gao Qiqian stood on the gate tower, watched the Qing army go south, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, fortunately, the Da slaves did not besiege Jize."

    Another day later, Lu Xiangsheng led troops to help, but was angrily reprimanded by Gao Qiqian for being afraid of the enemy and not moving forward.

    The impeachment memorial has been sent to the capital.

    As for the content, the two men jointly attacked the army on the Manchu West Road, and fought bravely, while Lu Xiangsheng was afraid of the enemy.  As a result, it was impossible to form a joint attack, and a good opportunity to wipe out the enemy was lost, which led to Gao Qiqian's defeat.

    A few days later, Gao Qiqian joined forces with Lu Xiangsheng's generals, and soon there was a mutiny.

    Gao Qiqian issued a second impeachment memorial, accusing Lu Xiangsheng of being greedy for the Mexican military rations and only caring about his own pacesetters, which led to Xuan Dabian's generals changing soldiers.

    Still the same sentence, no one wants to fight except Lu Xiangsheng.

    They didn't care whether Lu Xiangsheng was killed or arrested and imprisoned.  I just ask Lu Xiangsheng not to be the commander-in-chief again. If the fight continues like this, all the soldiers and horses will be eaten up by the Qing army.

    To be honest, if selfishness is put aside, it is difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.

    Lu Xiangsheng's strategic decision was definitely correct in the early stage.  But now that it has been dragged to the later stage, the battle line is too long, and it is impossible to fight any more. If you continue to fight in the field, you will have to be defeated by the Qing army one by one.

    Lu Xiangsheng's Tianxiong Army can withstand it, how can other troops withstand this long-distance pursuit?

    As a commander-in-chief of the whole army, in such a situation, you can't mess around.

    ?But you can't stop fighting, you can't let the Manchus burn, kill, and loot, right?

    Whoever takes this seat has to be as entangled as Lu Xiangsheng.  It’s not even if you fight, and it’s not if you don’t fight.

    Daming, it's hopeless.

    &lt;/div&gt

    ,

    "This is the first batch of silver dollars." Fei Chun held out a box and said.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Sit down."

    Fei Chun and Song Yingxing sat down respectively.

    This silver dollar is very beautiful and exquisite, and it should be specially selected by the two of them.

    The words "one circle" are printed vertically on the front, and the words "Eleventh Year of Chongzhen" and "Made in Jiangxi" are around it.  The main pattern on the back is the intersection of ears of rice and ears of wheat, with the words "Tianxia Datong".

    Zhao Han was very satisfied: "The rice ears and wheat ears have intricate patterns, are they used to prevent counterfeiting?"

    "It is indeed used for anti-counterfeiting," Song Yingxing nodded and said, "The circle of dots around it is also used for anti-counterfeiting."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Hydraulic suppression?"

    Song Yingxing explained: "It is rolled with water."

    This is not technically difficult. During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Habsburg, Austria, had already adopted the roller coin rolling technology.

    Fifty years ago, Spain used hydraulic rollers to roll coins, and the address of the mint was in mainland Spain.

    In the past 20 or 30 years, Mexico's Mint has also begun to adopt this technology.

    Zhao Han's request to Song Yingxing at the beginning was that coins must be minted using water power.  If it is hydraulic coinage, stamping is more troublesome, but roller rolling is very simple.

    Zhao Han played with the silver dollar and asked, "Is this the best quality, what about the bad one?"

    Song Yingxing took out two more silver dollars and said, "If the quality is not good, there are generally two situations."

    Zhao Han took a look and found that one was seriously bent and the other had misplaced patterns.

    Song Yingxing explained: "Roller rolling will inevitably bend and deform, and it must be hammered manually before leaving the factory. There is also a roller template, which may sometimes be skewed, resulting in misalignment of the silver dollar pattern."

    Zhao Han ordered: "If the pattern is misplaced, just melt it down and make it again."

    Spain's eight-riyal silver dollar, with various coin faces bent and various patterns misplaced, is still taken out for circulation.

    "How much silver does it contain?" Zhao Han asked.

    Song Yingxing said: "A silver dollar is one tael, containing eight cents and eight dollars of silver, and the auxiliary material is white copper."

    Cupronickel is a copper-nickel alloy, and this silver dollar contains 88% silver.

    As for the Spanish silver dollar, the silver content is about 90%.  .

    The difference in silver content of 2% leads to a higher hardness of Datong silver dollar, less serious bending of the currency face during rolling, and less damage and deformation during long-term circulation.

    In addition, the Datong silver dollar is one or two, and the standard weight is 37.3 grams.  The Spanish silver dollar is less than one tael, and the standard weight is 27.07 grams.

    In circulation and use in China, the Datong silver dollar is definitely more convenient, as it can directly correspond to one tael of silver.

    Zhao Han said: "The Mint, the Rolling Plant, and the Ticket Factory (Military Tickets, Official Tickets) will be separated from the Department of Public Works and the Department of Finance in the future. There will be a separate Mint, which will be directly managed by the General Military Office.  department assistant."

    "yes!"

    Fei Chun and Song Yingxing held hands.

    Fei Chun said: "From this winter to next year's summer harvest, grain merchants must be controlled and food transport outside the country must be prohibited. Please dispatch a few naval warships to cooperate with the inspection."

    "Yes." Zhao Han immediately agreed.

    The main reason is that within one year, two more provinces were added to the territory, resulting in a serious shortage of food in Jiangxi.  If there is no control, food prices will inevitably skyrocket next spring.

    Don't look at the beginning of the year, there were only 16,000 soldiers.

    However, troops were sent to the two provinces at the same time, and the number of farmers, soldiers and grain transporters who participated in the war was as many as 60,000.

    ?Using the ancient calculation method, Zhao Han sent 80,000 troops this year!

    If you want to brag a little more, you can declare to the outside world that you will send 200,000 troops.

    In the later stage, too many cities were occupied, and 6,000 peasants and soldiers were transferred to the newly occupied cities for defense.  It will take more than half a year, when the public security in these cities is stable, and the yamen servants and arresters are properly rectified, before the peasants and soldiers guarding the cities can be withdrawn.

    These peasants and soldiers defending the city also consume food!

    In addition, there are still a large number of officials, missionaries, and backbones of the peasant associations dispatched, and immigration and disaster relief will be followed up.

    Jiangxi, Hunan, and Guangdong have no surplus food.

    If it weren't for the massive issuance of military tickets, Zhao Han wouldn't even be able to pay enough for the soldiers.  He is not full of Qing Dynasty. If there is not enough food, he will run to grab it.  Zhao Han won the territory, not only could he not grab food, but he had to use his own food to help the disaster.

    Therefore, Zhao Han only dared to increase his army to 23,000 this time.

    It is necessary to wait until next year's summer harvest to have enough food before expanding the army by 5,000 people.

    Twenty-eight thousand soldiers are enough to pacify the south!

    ? Using these warriors as the skeleton,nbsp; After dinner, Zheng Sen followed Zhao Zhenfang again.

    When the two of them were left alone, Zhao Zhenfang took a hard look and warned, "Don't look at me like that, you're like a fool!"

    "Okay." Zheng Sen said with a smile.

    Zhao Zhenfang said again: "It's late, don't follow me, other people will gossip."

    "Where is sister going to play tomorrow?" Zheng Sen asked.

    Zhao Zhenfang said: "I have class tomorrow, but I don't have much time to play."

    Zheng Sen said: "I'll pick you up after class. I still have a lot of math questions to ask."

    "We'll talk about it when the time comes." Zhao Zhenfang felt that this person was a rascal.

    Zheng Sen stood in the yard and said, "Go in, I'll watch you go back to your room."

    "I'm too lazy to talk to you." Zhao Zhenfang turned around and left.

    After entering the house and closing the door, Zhao Zhenfang couldn't help peeking again.

    Seeing that Zheng Sen was still standing there, Zhao Zhenfang felt her face was hot, and at the same time she blamed herself.  She felt that she had empathized with someone else, she obviously liked Xiao Shixuan, why did she do this again.

    The minds of boys and girls are always uncertain and elusive.

    Zhao Han was chatting with Fei Rulan and Pan Qimei. The family was small, and the two women got along relatively harmoniously, even eating together.

    If there are too many people, it will definitely not be so harmonious.

    Pan Qimei's vocabulary is increasing day by day, and simple communication is not a problem, but she can't speak or listen too fast.  She sat beside her smiling the whole time, listening to Zhao Han talking to Fei Rulan.

    Pan Qimei likes Fei Rulan very much. She is like a sister and a mother. She teaches her many things and takes special care of her.

    After chatting for a while, Zhao Han went to the study.

    After reading the book for two hours, the two women were still chatting, and they mainly played with Gun'er.

    "Is Gun'er still asleep?" Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Fei Rulan said: "My eyelids are fighting, but I just refuse to sleep."

    Gun'er lay in Pan Qimei's arms, closed and opened her eyelids, and suddenly fell asleep with her head drooping.

    "I'll take the baby back." Fei Rulan got up and said.

    Two women, one for one night, Zhao Han took turns having sex.

    Suddenly, Zhao Han remembered the little movie he had seen before, and said dryly, "Why don't you give the baby to the nanny, let's sleep together tonight."

    "Together" Fei Rulan suddenly reacted, blushing and spat, "I don't feel ashamed!"

    "Just one night, just one night." Zhao Han said in a pleading tone.

    I have always insisted not to accept concubines, but now I have to play tricks. Sure enough, power can easily corrupt people.

    Fei Rulan got up and wanted to carry the child away, but Zhao Han hurriedly stopped her: "Come on, come on, just for one night."

    "Pfft!"

    Fei Rulan suddenly laughed out loud, knowing Zhao Han for so many years, it was the first time seeing him look pitiful.

    Fei Rulan called Xiyue and asked her to carry the baby to the nanny.

    Xiyue carried the child out, and the door was closed immediately.  The girl was dumbfounded, and couldn't help peeking inside, her heart was pounding, but unfortunately the lights were turned off soon.

    Pan Qimei didn't understand at first, until she was dragged into the bedroom by Zhao Han, and when she saw Fei Rulan also walked in, she shrank back and sat on the bed in shame.

    Looking at the two beauties with different looks, Zhao Han felt hot all over.

    "Don't look, blow out the lamp!" Fei Rulan's voice became lower and lower until it was inaudible.

    Pan Qimei jumped out of bed, ran two steps, and blew it out.

    The room was pitch black, only the rustling sound of undressing, followed by the breathing of the three of them more and more heavily.

    All nervous and excited as hell.

    Zhao Han has finally degenerated and is no longer a pure youth.?

 Text 281 [Red Nun]

    In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, winter.

    Hangzhou West Lake.

    Broken bridge, pure residence.

    Taoist Wang Wei in grass clothes is tending his garden.

    There are not only flowers and trees in the garden, but also some vegetables.  She first knocked off the snow on the vegetable leaves, then went to inspect the flowers and trees, and then picked up the broom to clean the yard.

    Wang Wei is forty-one years old this year. His father died when he was seven years old.  The tribe dominated his family property and bought Wang Wei into a brothel.

    At the age of fourteen, Wang Wei started his business and went boating in Nanjing, Suzhou and Hangzhou.

    After a small amount of savings, Wang Wei suddenly disappeared, clothed in robes and bamboo sticks, traveled to famous mountains and rivers, and wrote a book "The Story of Famous Mountains".

    At the age of eighteen, Wang Wei admired Mao Yuanyi's talent and character, and married Mao Yuanyi as his concubine at the same time as his friend Yang Wan.  Mao Yuanyi prefers Yang Wan, and Wang Wei feels increasingly alienated, so she chooses to leave alone.

    At the age of nineteen, Wang Wei came to Hangzhou and met the talented Tan Yuanchun.

    Wang Wei fell in love at first sight and took the initiative to pursue her.

    Tan Yuanchun did not take the initiative, refused, and was not responsible.  As a famous prostitute, you can play for fun, what do you do at home when you marry her?

    Wang Wei was seriously ill and left Hangzhou to visit famous mountains.

    Returning to Hangzhou again, Wang Wei became a nun and escaped into Buddhism, calling himself "Daoist in Grass Clothes".

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The courtyard door knocked.

    Wang Wei put down the broom and opened the door to welcome guests.

    But he saw Wang Ranming, the son of a wealthy businessman, standing outside the door, and there were more than ten scholars behind him.

    ?Wang Ranming, a wealthy businessman in Huizhou, generously donates money, and likes to make friends with celebrities and courtesans.  He and Wang Wei have been good friends for many years. Hearing that Wang Wei became a monk, he immediately built a house by the West Lake and gave it to Wang Wei to concentrate on practicing Buddhism.

    After Liu Rushi broke up with Chen Zilong, he threatened to marry someone more talented than Chen Zilong.  Wang Ranming also came to comfort her, persuading her not to be sad, and later facilitated the marriage of Liu Rushi and Qian Qianyi.

    What Wang Ranming really likes is the female painter Lin Xue.

    After getting old, Wang Ranming also went to Fujian to look for Lin Xue from thousands of miles away, and the two reunited with wrinkled faces.

    "Everyone, please come in." Wang Wei said together.

    Women living alone have to earn living expenses, so Wang Wei, who is 41 years old, naturally cannot sell herself again.

    In fact, after she worshiped the Buddha, she cleaned herself up.  But there are often scholars who come to visit, do not drink alcohol, only drink tea, recite poems and compose Fu, talk about the past and the present.

    It is equivalent to a social platform for celebrities, and it is very high-end. Without a certain status and fame, it is impossible to come here to consume.

    ? If you are talented, Wang Wei won't charge you anything, and you can treat it as a free hotel.

    Wang Mingran introduced: "This is Huang Ying, a well-known scholar in Jiangxi."

    "I met Mr. Huang." Wang Wei saluted.

    Xu Ying cupped her hands and said: "I have admired your name for a long time, and I am honored to meet you today."

    The rest of the scholars were not introduced.

    Wang Wei felt very strange that these scholars were all wearing Confucian shirts, but they were all carrying long swords.

    It's not a scribe's sword, but a two-handed sword.

    Wang Wei invited them in to add firewood to the clay stove to make tea.  He took out more than ten futons and spread them on the ground for everyone to sit cross-legged.

    "How are you doing recently?" Wang Mingran asked.

    Wang Wei replied: "The day before yesterday, I caught wind and cold accidentally, and I have recovered. Why haven't I seen you in the past two months?"

    Wang Mingran said with a smile: "I have been traveling in Huyang with Brother Huang, and we have not been in Hangzhou."

    Wang Wei became more and more curious about this "Huang Ying", thinking that it was the son of some high-ranking official, otherwise Wang Mingran would never have paid so much attention to it.

    Xu Ying took out three books, all of which were the latest editions, one called "Datong Collection", one called "Datong Female General Records", and the other called "Datong Travel Notes".

    Passing the book over, Xu Ying asked, "Have the female mages heard of such books?"

    Wang Wei nodded and said, "I've seen "Da Tong Ji"."

    Xu Ying smiled and said: "Master, you can read "The Record of the Female Generals of Datong"."

    Watch it now?

    Wang Wei glanced at the crowd and saw that no one was talking, so he curiously opened "The Record of Female Generals of Great Harmony".

    ?It took two quarters of an hour for Wang Wei to finish reading the book, and suddenly felt uneasy.  If she had been twenty years younger, she would have left everything behind and immediately went to Jiangxi to seek refuge with Zhao Han.

    Closing the pages of the book, Wang Wei asked, "Mr. Huang belongs to Zhao Tianwang?"

    "Of course." Xu Ying smiled.

    In Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, Xu Ying's identity is almost semi-public.  Not only was there no danger, but they were treated with courtesy. This change came after Zhao Han captured Guangdong and Hunan.

    These more than a dozen swordsman sons,??.  Realizing that Mao Yuanyi had no feelings for her, he left alone again.  In the end, I met a heartbroken man, and went directly to Buddhism to become a nun.

    So chic, rare in the world.

    Wang Wei sat cross-legged on the futon: "Mr. Huang, I really like to hear about Jiangxi affairs again."

    Xu Ying pointed to "A Tale of Great Travelers": "Mr. Mister, you can read this book. Although this is a novel, it is all adapted from real people and real events, and only a little legend is added."

    "Well, I'll see for myself," Wang Wei asked, "When can I go to Jiangxi?"

    Xu Ying said: "After the beginning of spring."

    Wang Mingran suddenly smiled and said: "See you next time, this grass-clothed Taoist is a schoolgirl."

    Wang Wei was generous, and teased himself: "Maybe I'll see you next time, I'm already married as a wife, and I've become a continuation of a beloved man."

    "Hahahaha!" Wang Mingran laughed.

    Xu Ying got up and cupped her hands: "Mr. Ma'am, I will take my leave."

    Wang Wei stayed and said: "Let's go after eating, I'll ask the restaurant to bring some food and drinks over."

    "No, see you in Ji'an." Xu Ying still has things to do.  He came to Hangzhou not long ago, he had just settled down with his family, the intelligence contact point had not been built yet, and he was going to visit Liu Rushi today.

    Wang Wei sent them to the door, and went back to the room to read "The Story of the Great Fellowship".

    ?As I read it, I feel the joys and sorrows of the characters in the book, and I look forward to the life in Jiangxi more and more.

    Suddenly tears rolled down, and she wiped her tears while laughing and talking to herself: "It's really like a fairyland on earth. If there is one ten thousandth good in the book, you can live a dignified life in Jiangxi."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 282 [Liu Rushi] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Where does Liu Rushi live now?

    He just lived in Wang Mingran's Hengshan Villa, which was invited by Xu Ying from Suzhou.

    Wang Mingran's real name is Wang Ruqian, his courtesy name is Mingran, he is the son of a salt merchant's family.

    "Zhong Cong, when will the general town send troops to Nanzhili?" Wang Mingran asked curiously.

    Xu Ying smiled and said, "After Jiangnan is settled."

    Wang Mingran sighed: "Oh, I can't wait."

    Huizhou salt merchants want to follow the thief!

    ? Before Emperor Hongzhi, the "open-up system" was implemented for salt sales, the oldest salt merchant in Shaanxi, and the second oldest salt merchant in Shanxi.

    After that, the "color folding system" was implemented, and Huizhou salt merchants came from behind.

    ? In today’s Yangzhou, if we only talk about financial resources, the Huizhou Merchant Gang ranks first, the Shanshan-Shaanxi Merchants Gang ranks second, and the Jiangyou Merchants Gang ranks third.

    Jiangyou is Jiangxi!

    Jiangxi merchants gathered in Yangzhou, mainly selling special products from Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces.

    ?As Zhao Han canceled exorbitant taxes, protected the interests of merchants, and encouraged the development of industry and commerce, the Jiangxi merchant gang was growing rapidly.

    ? Last year, a large water spinning wheel that can spin cotton yarn was also produced.  The thick cotton yarn and thick cotton cloth from Jiangxi, due to their large quantity and low price, have violently impacted the low-end market in the north.

    Merchants from all provinces are aware of the changes in the Jiangxi merchant gang.

    To be honest, I am very envious!

    The Huizhou business gang is the most enviable group.

    Because after Chongzhen came to power, the life of Huizhou businessmen was very difficult.  Especially in recent years, Chongzhen suppressed the Donglin Party and appointed a large number of Northwest officials in Nanzhili.

    The Huizhou merchant gang competes fiercely with the Shanshan merchant gang. Who do you think the Northwest officials will help?

    Take Yangzhou as an example. Shanxi merchants came from other provinces to settle down, and the imperial court specially approved them to have "merchant status".  Scholars with business registration can study in the prefectural schools in Huai'an and Yangzhou, and there are seven places that do not need to go back to their hometown for the imperial examination every year.

    Huizhou merchants were jealous, and in the fifth year of Chongzhen, they jointly signed a petition and asked them to be admitted as merchants.

    The magistrate of Yangzhou is from Shanxi, so he directly stood up and pushed the sidelines, which made this request impossible to realize.

    At the same time, Chongzhen crazily sent additional dispatches to Lianghuai salt merchants.  Therefore, officials from the Northwest specifically caught the Anhui merchants for plucking wool, and took a lenient attitude towards the Shanxi salt merchants.

    Huizhou salt merchants like Wang Mingran, after learning about Zhao Han's industrial and commercial support policies, wished that Zhao Tianwang would take Nanzhili immediately.  At that time, not only will the exorbitant taxes be abolished, but the deadly enemy (Shanshan salt merchants) will also be overthrown!

    Huizhou merchants also like to buy land after making money, but the real riches in Huizhou all come from prefectures and counties with poor land.  How much money can you earn from those fields at home?

    As long as Zhao Han supports industry and commerce, the land will be divided!

    These Huizhou tycoons have settled in Huaiyang for hundreds of years.  Their connection with their hometown is only to go home to worship their ancestors during the Chinese New Year, and their children go home to take the imperial examination.

    "Brother, please write a letter and go back to remind me," Wang Mingran said, "As long as the general town sends troops to the south of Zhili, Huizhou merchants will definitely respond. Not only will they cooperate with the distribution of land and the release of slaves, but they will also cooperate internally and externally to help the heavenly soldiers of Datong seize the city!  "

    Xu Ying asked: "Do you have a solution in Nanjing?"

    ?Wang Mingran said: "Huai'an and Yangzhou are sure to win and contribute. As for Nanjing, I'm afraid we can't do it, but we can think of a way."

    Xu Ying, the spy chief, even if she doesn't do anything in the future, she has already won the two giant commercial cities of Huai'an and Yangzhou for Zhao Han!

    Huaian, Yangzhou, the city of commerce.

    The Huizhou Business Gang ranked first, and the Jiangxi Business Gang ranked third.  As long as Zhao Han's troops approach the city, the two major merchant gangs will work together to make trouble, and they will definitely open the city gate with ease.

    "Brother Mingran, don't worry," Xu Ying said with a smile, "After the summer harvest next year, Jiangxi will definitely send troops again, at least to win another province. With such a force, Nanzhi will definitely be attacked in two or three years.  Can't wait?"

    "Haha," Wang Mingran laughed loudly, "don't say two or three years, you can wait three to five years."

    The two came to Hengshan Villa together, and a servant immediately opened the door.

    After settling down more than a dozen men carrying swords, Wang Mingran asked, "Where's Miss Liu?"

    "I'm painting with Miss Lin." The servant replied.

    The name Liu Rushi was newly changed last year.  His previous name was Yang Ai, and now he is called Liu Yin, with the same characters.

    Miss Lin is Lin Xue, a famous prostitute who is good at painting and Wang Mingran's love.

    At the moment, the two were painting, and immediately put down their brushes when they heard the servant's invitation.

    Liu Rushi was very confused. She was in Suzhou and was invited to Hangzhou with a lot of money, but her master never showed up. She was already in, maybe one day you will be able to win the world.

    Lin Xue asked: "That woman has been a concubine for several years, so she hasn't been kicked out of the house at this time?"

    "Who told you to be a concubine?" Xu Ying smiled and said, "That is the wife that Chen Zhangsi Mingmei is marrying, and Chen Zhangsi has not taken a concubine so far."

    Liu Rushi was startled and said, "Because you are a regular wife and you don't have a concubine yet?"

    Xu Ying nodded very solemnly.

    At noon, let's have dinner together.

    After lunch, Xu Ying and Wang Mingran left the villa, they were going to establish the Hangzhou Intelligence Liaison Station.

    When the two courtesans returned to the room, they were too shocked to speak.

    Liu Rushi said: "It's a lucky woman to meet a good husband."

    Lin Xue said suddenly: "I want to go to Jiangxi, will my sister go?"

    "Go, I'm going!" Liu Rushi replied hastily.

    Lin Xue stood up excitedly, paced back and forth in the room, and then stopped: "Sister, tell me, can Zhao Tianwang win the world?"

    "I don't know," Liu Rushi said, "I heard that the north and the south are in chaos, but Jiangxi is very stable. Two years ago, I only knew that there was a giant bandit from Luling who seemed to occupy the Ji'an mansion.  Jiangxi, Guangdong, and half of Huguang. With such a force, I am afraid that Jiangnan will be captured sooner or later. Even if we can’t control the world, I think it is possible to rule the river.”

    Lin Xue clasped her hands tightly and kneaded her fingers: "It's good that he becomes the emperor, all women in the world are blessed!"

    Liu Rushi took out the "Datong Collection", she was not interested in other things, so she directly turned to "Gateway Theory", muttering to herself: "Men are superior to women in their position, and men and women are equal in their character;  The position, the good and the bad are equal in its style. It is so well written, a few words are better than ten thousand poems."

    Lin Xue went to read the "On the Release of Slaves", and said: "Mr. Zhao not only advocates the equality of the good and the bad, but also eliminates the difference between good and bad, and removes all the cheap people in the world."

    Liu Rushi nodded and said, ""Gewei Lun" is knowledge, and "Shinu Lun" is action. This is the unity of knowledge and action. This Mr. Zhao is a truly learned man, and he is not comparable to ordinary talents. Waiting for Mr. Huang's request  I have to go to Ji'an on an errand, maybe I can meet this Mr. Zhao."

    Lin Xue smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao is like the emperor in Jiangxi. How honorable is that, can you and I still see the emperor?"

    Liu Rushi also laughed, and then began to fantasize: "If I go to Jiangxi, I will find a real businessman to make a living. Maybe I can find a good man, and then I will be a husband and a child, so that I can train my son to be a high-ranking official."

    "Hahaha, who wouldn't want that," Lin Xue laughed loudly, "I like that Chief Chen, he is a considerate and caring woman, and it would be great to be his concubine. I will definitely not suffer in this life."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 283【Rehabilitation】

    ,

    If you only talk about Zhang Pu, I am afraid that everyone will not have much impression.

    "The Tombstone of Five People" is famous, and Zhang Pu is the author of this article.

    Well, this matter is actually very simple.

    It's just partisanship.

    ? Zhou Qiyuan (Donglin Party), governor of Su Song, impeached Li Shi (Eunuch Party), the weaving eunuch of Suhang, accusing Li Shi of excessive expropriation and cruelty to the people.

    Because of this, Wei Zhongxian was offended, and Zhou Qiyuan was dismissed as a civilian, but the eunuch party still has to take advantage of the victory to pursue it.

    Li Shi (Eun Party) then impeached Zhou Qiyuan (Donglin Party), accusing Zhou Qiyuan of disobeying the imperial decree, reducing or exempting the number of robes without authorization, casting fake money with robe silver, manipulating the price of robes, filling his own pockets, and causing machine owners to be heavily in debt.

    The impeachments of both parties are all true.

    Corrupt officials of the Donglin Party, corrupt officials of the Eunuch Party, staged a dog-eat-dog show.

    There were still various details during the period, and many officials from both sides were implicated. Zhou Shunchang was one of the Donglin party members implicated.

    Due to the deep grievances of the local people in the eunuch party, when Zhou Shunchang was arrested, a riot was caused-it didn't make a big fuss, and it wasn't even a civil disturbance.

    Most of the onlookers are here to watch the excitement, they belong to the people who eat melons, and the struggle between the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party has nothing to do with them.

    Afterwards, five people were arrested and executed. Except for one who was Zhou Shunchang's domestic slave, the other four were nosy.  It is said that these four people belonged to gangsters, which were purely made up by netizens, and the source of historical materials could not be found at all.

    "The Tombstone of Five People" has nothing to do with tax resistance.

    When Zhang Pu wrote this article, he secretly satirized the gentry and merchants.  It probably means that even the five righteous people dared to stand up, but those gentry and merchants shrank their eggs

    Suzhou, Taicang.

    Zhang Pu received Liu Rushi's letter and threw it aside.

    At this time, his mother is seriously ill, his wife is pregnant, and Fushe is full of bad things. How can he be in the mood to meet famous prostitutes?

    A few days later, the servant reported: "Master, someone has delivered a letter."

    Zhang Pu opened the letter and saw that it was still Liu Rushi's letter.  The content this time is very short, and it can be summed up in one sentence: "There is an invitation from a righteous man, please come to Loujiang to discuss matters."

    A righteous man?

    Zhang Pu immediately understood that Liu Rushi, a famous prostitute, belonged to someone else's broker who entertained him.

    Yangchun March.

    Zhang Pu arrived at the Loujiang Wharf for the appointment, and a maid stepped forward to greet him: "Mr. Ximing, please board the boat."

    It was a passenger ship, which was quite large, and it was no problem to carry dozens of people.

    Zhang Pu walked into the cabin and saw Liu Rushi reading a book and a young scholar drinking tea.

    "Huang Ying from Qianshan Mountain, I met Mr. Xi Ming!" Xu Ying stood up and cupped her hands.

    As soon as Liu Rushi stood up, Zhang Pu said, "Huang Ying from Datong Society?"

    Xu Ying said with a smile: "It's my luck to be cherished by my husband with a little reputation."

    "Believe it or not, I will report to the police to arrest you?" Zhang Pu sneered.

    Xu Ying said with a smile: "Mr. can ban "Da Tong Ji", so naturally he can send troops to arrest Wansheng. No one knows, no one knows, Su Song Changhu's various prefectures are indeed the master's world."

    "Do you scare me with your heart-wrenching words?" Zhang Pu didn't have a good face. "Your Excellency has asked to see you again and again. Now that we have really met, let's talk quickly if you have anything to say!"

    Xu Ying sat down slowly: "Mr. Why did you ban "Da Tong Ji"?"

    Zhang Pu also entered the cabin and sat down: "The government confiscated anti-thief books, what's the matter with me as a commoner?"

    "Sir, why should you be modest?" Xu Ying said with a smile.

    Although Zhang Pu did not serve as an official, his influence was terrifying.

    Far away in Beijing, he can control the examination papers, so that the examination papers are judged by practical learning and people in the society.  When Wen Tiren was the first assistant, in order to offset Zhang Pu's influence, he could only use cheating methods to judge the test papers.

    Recently in the south of the Yangtze River, Wen Tiren's younger brother wanted to join Fushe, but was ruthlessly rejected, so he wrote a novel to slander Fushe.  With Zhang Pu's order, he actually used the power of the government to ban this novel.

    The "Datong" series of books was popular in Huaiyang, but it was banned in Susongchang Lake.

    "Just this one thing?" Zhang Pu asked.

    Xu Ying asked back: "Sir, have you watched "Da Tong Ji"?"

    Zhang Pu sneered: "What's the benefit of watching against thieves and usurping books."

    "That's why I haven't read it," Xu Ying said, "but I have read the book of Mr. in my late life. Mr. holds Confucian orthodoxy, advocates active use of the world, abandons empty talk, and advocates practical learning. Or not?"

    Zhang Pu said, "Of course."

    Xu Ying said again: "It is necessary to dig the corner of Fushe.

    Small businessmen, small landlords, and scholars of self-cultivation farmers account for a high proportion of the Fushe, and they can be easily recruited.  Because Datong Association is more advanced and more operable than Fushe, and can bring more benefits to these low-level scholars!

    Zhang Pu sighed: "Let me finish reading these books."

    Xu Ying said with a smile: "Sir, please go ahead. But as soon as possible, I am determined to develop in Susongchang Lake, and I don't want to have any conflicts with the people in Fushe."

    There was a conflict in Yangzhou, Datong members were beaten by Fushe members.

    At that time, Xu Ying was defeated very badly, so Xu Ying decided to practice and asked Jiangxi merchants to make iron swords.  The core members, one of them, train regularly every month, and also invite masters of swordsmanship as teachers.

    After only training for more than a month, he beat all scholars invincibly, and since then he has embarked on the road of convincing others with reason.

    Zhang Pu returned home, spent half a month, and finally finished reading the "Datong" series, and then he was dumbfounded.

    Zhao Han's theory is very close to the Fushe theory.

    However, Zhao Han is more radical than Fushe.  Zhao Han is a revolutionary, and Fushe is a reformist, but the general direction is similar.

    Protection of merchants, equality between men and women, and advocacy of pragmatism, including the introduction of Western culture, are all things Fushe advocates.

    The core difference between the two parties is the division of family and land.

    But Zhao Han will come to Jiangnan sooner or later, and no matter how unwilling he is, he will have to succumb to the sword.

    Moreover, it turns out that the reform from top to bottom is no longer feasible.

    The goal of Fushe in the past few years was to overthrow the traitor Wen Tiren, and then take control of the court to carry out reforms.  But after Wen Tiren stepped down, the politics became even more chaotic. Those who restored the society discovered that their biggest enemy wasEmperor Chongzhen.

    Therefore, some scholars in Fushe began to put forward the idea of ??"lighting the monarch".

    Later, it even came up with a theory similar to constitutional monarchy, and Fushe began to become a party.  Fushe's organizational structure and theoretical slogans far exceed the embryonic form of British political parties!

    Holding the "Datong Ji" in his hand, Zhang Pu struggled for a long time, and suddenly came up with an idea.

    ?Since Chongzhen couldn't support himself and reform the court, why couldn't Fushe fall to Zhao Han?  Join the regime in Jiangxi, then gradually control the court, and then govern the country according to your own ideas!

    (I checked a lot of information in this chapter, and the update is slow, sorry. ?

 Body 284【Planning】

    With this idea in mind, Zhang Pu immediately called everyone from several societies to a meeting.

    Jishe is a small group under Fushe, and Zhang Pu has used it very smoothly these years.

    "I have seen the sky like a brother!"

    Zhou Lixun, Peng Bin, Xu Fuyuan, Li Wen and others came quickly after receiving the call.

    Both Xia Yunyi and Chen Zilong have gone to be officials, so they definitely won't be able to come.

    "sit down."

    Zhang Pu called everyone to sit down, waited for the maid to serve tea, and asked with a smile: "Who has read "The Collection of Great Harmony"?"

    Datong Collection?

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

    Xu Fuyuan cupped his hands and said, "I have read it."

    Li Wen said: "I have read it."

    "I have read it too." Zhou Lixun said.

    Zhang Pu is very speechless, dare to say that he has never read it?

    The main reason is that Xu Ying was involved in troubles in Huaiyang and had conflicts with Fushe many times, which caused Zhang Pu to have a very bad impression of Datonghui.  He also heard that Datong would forcibly divide the land and treat Zhao Han as a traditional rebel who "equalized the land", so Zhang Pu directly ordered the "Datong" series to be banned.

    Zhang Pu asked: "What do you think?"

    ? Xu Fuyuan replied: "The purpose of the Datong Association is closer to rehabilitating the society. However, if the family and land are forcibly divided, the gentry all over the world will rebel, and the Zhao bandits will not last long."

    ? Xu Fuyuan was the great-grandson of Xu Jie's younger brother. He persisted in resisting the Qing Dynasty, and finally followed Zheng Chenggong to Taiwan.

    "That's right, don't look at the number of provinces stolen by the Zhao thief. Sooner or later, they will perish. There is no need for the imperial court to send troops. The gentry and gentry under their rule will definitely join forces and lead to internal strife." Li Wen said.

    ? Li Wen later surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, caught the sword for Dorgon, and wrote the "Book to Shi Kefa".

    ?Da Ming died at the hands of Li Zicheng, and Man Qing had no enmity with Daming.  Man Qing felt Wu Sangui's loyalty, so he entered the customs to help the Ming Dynasty destroy Li Chuang-this argument was put forward by Li Wen!

    The direct reason why he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was that his father was tortured to death by Li Zicheng, and he almost starved to death in Beijing.  When the Qing army entered the city, Li Wen was so hungry that she was guarding her father's body among the chaos.  Man Qing gave him an official job, and immediately his temperament changed drastically, from a patriot to an accomplice of a foreign race.

    Zhou Lixun said: "Tie Zhao, the world is in great trouble, but the imperial court has no soldiers to suppress it!"

    Xu Zhiyuan suddenly said: "Zhao thief may have the potential to sweep the south, we should make plans early."

    Xu Zhiyuan is Xu Fuyuan's third younger brother, who is in charge of running the family property. He is more sensitive to such matters.

    Historically, Xu Fuyuan traveled around to fight against the Qing Dynasty, while Xu Zhiyuan stayed at home to protect his clansmen, and was responsible for delivering news for the rebel army and lobbying the generals who instigated rebellion and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.

    "Earlier to plan? How to plan!"

    Song Zhengyu suddenly said angrily: "The thief Zhao divided the family and divided the land. Your Xu family has more land than my Song family. Are you willing to share it?"

    Xu Zhiyuan is a loyal and steady person, so he immediately shut up, unwilling to argue with his friends.

    But Zhang Pu said with a smile: "My dear brother Wu Jing, let me tell you what you think."

    Xu Zhiyuan bowed his hands to Song Zhengyu: "Nowadays there is great chaos in the north, but Jiangxi is in chaos. My Xu family runs looms. I don't know anything else about the cloth business. Merchants in Jiangxi transported a large amount of cotton yarn and cotton cloth to the north last year, although they are all roving  and coarse cloth, but in great quantity and at a low price."

    Du Linzheng laughed and said, "Wu Jing, I'm just talking about major events in the world. What are you talking about about business?"

    Xu Zhiyuan asked: "Fushe advocates practical learning, and advocates applying what you have learned. Isn't this business knowledge? Jiangxi can produce a large amount of cheap yarn and cloth, which shows that Jiangxi is extremely stable and there are no harsh taxes. Otherwise, Jiangxi's cotton yarn and  Cotton, absolutely impossible to sell so cheap!"

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone nodded.

    "It seems that Bandit Zhao can really achieve the policies recorded in "Datong Ji"," Xu Fuyuan frowned. "If so, I am afraid that there will be no chaos in Jiangxi, but it will still be prosperous. Those who win the world must do so  People too!"

    Zhou Lixun said: "Last year, the north suffered a disastrous defeat. Beizhi and Shandong were all destroyed. With the loss of soldiers and generals, the imperial court increased the levy for training. Once this payment is paid, it will only be a matter of time before the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. We should really consider Zhao bandits when we restore society.  "

    Song Zhengyu sat down slumped, and murmured: "What can I do? Do I really have to wait for the land to be divided?"

    "If we help thief Zhao take Jiangnan, we will have made great contributions, so can we be accommodating?" Du Linzheng couldn't help but say.

    Xu Fuyuan suddenly asked Zhang Pu: "Brother Tianru summoned us, must have made a decision long ago?"

    Zhang Pu sighed: "A few days ago, thief Zhao sent someone to contact me."

    Xu Zhiyuan said happily: "This is a great thing!"

    &nbWife, son, daughter, all taken away in one go.  He was afraid of accidents, so he simply went to Jiangxi with his family to serve as a thief.

    The big house has been sold by the grandfather, and now there is only a small house left, which can't even afford servants.

    In this case, it is simply natural to be a thief.  When he went to Jiangxi, he probably forgot about Fushe after a few years.

    But they said brothers Xu Fuyuan and Xu Zhiyuan were going home in a carriage.

    When passing through Qingpu County, I saw five men with swords on their backs, each carrying a bundle of books, entering the county seat openly and aboveboard.

    On the covers of those books, the words "Datong Ji" and so on are impressively exposed.

    The two brothers were curious and followed for a while on foot.  I saw five sword-carrying men who had already arrived at the gate of the county school. When they saw students, they would distribute books for free.

    Some students looked terrified, and some students looked through it curiously.

    Not long after, the county magistrate rushed over with the yamen servants, and the five men with swords on their backs fled immediately.

    When passing by the Xu brothers, there were still a few books that had not been distributed, so they stuffed them into Xu Zhiyuan's arms.

    "This, this, this is so audacious!" Xu Fuyuan exclaimed in surprise.

    Xu Zhiyuan sighed: "I'm afraid that before the thief Zhao arrives, the sky in the south of the Yangtze River will change."

    After resting overnight, the brothers continued on their way.

    Returning to Yunjian's hometown, Xu Zhiyuan first visited his mother, and then took "Datong Collection" to the concubine's courtyard to look through it.

    Concubine Zhao Lianjun greeted with a smile: "Husband is back?"

    "I'm back." Xu Zhiyuan threw "Da Tong Ji" on the table casually.

    Zhao Lianjun ordered the maid to serve tea, and opened the title page casually, his eyes widened immediately.

    There is a portrait on the title page, and next to it is written in small characters: Jiangxi General Soldier Zhao Han, Zhao Zhenlan will return soon.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 285 [Let’s go to Jiangxi collectively] (addition for the penguin boss)

    , I

    Zhao Lianjun is Zhao Zhenlan.

    She quickly calmed down, acted as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Husband, what book is this?"

    Xu Zhiyuan said: "There is a thief Zhao in Jiangxi who has stolen Jiangxi, Huguang, and southern Hunan. This book was printed by him. It is full of rebellious speeches, and it is distributed to attract people to join the thief."

    Zhao Zhenlan's heart was beating wildly: "Since it is a book against thieves, my husband still takes it home?"

    "Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be princes," Xu Zhiyuan sighed, "Jiangnan may be gone Hey, why am I telling you this? You don't understand state affairs."

    Zhao Zhenlan asked: "Is your husband planning to follow the thief?"

    "Keep your voice down," Xu Zhiyuan lowered his voice, and warned, "Don't talk nonsense, this is a matter of beheading. I dare not take it out, I only dare to hide in your room and read."

    Seeing that after Xu Zhiyuan sat down, he opened "The Great Traveler" and read it carefully. He didn't seem to dislike the book, and even had the tendency to become a thief. Zhao Zhenlan hesitated again and again, and said, "Husband"

    "What's wrong?" Xu Zhiyuan asked.

    "Jiangxi thief Zhao, is he called Zhao Han?" Zhao Zhenlan asked.

    Xu Zhiyuan said: "I don't know which name is real. It was rumored to be Zhao Yan before, but now it is said to be Zhao Han."

    Zhao Zhenlan said: "My concubine's real name is Zhenlan."

    "Why did you suddenly mention this?" Xu Zhiyuan laughed.

    Zhao Zhenlan said: "My husband, please turn to the title page and read those two lines."

    In the "Datong" series, each book has a portrait on the title page.

    Xu Zhiyuan turned back curiously, and muttered: "Jiangxi General Soldier Zhao Han, Zhao Zhenlan"

    Xu Zhiyuan suddenly raised his head and looked at the other party in disbelief.

    Zhao Zhenlan said: "My concubine's younger brother is called Zhao Han, and my concubine's real name is Zhao Zhenlan."

    "Wait a minute!"

    Xu Zhiyuan ran out in a panic, reached the eldest brother's yard, slapped on the study door and shouted: "Brother, there is something urgent!"

    Xu Fuyuan opened the door and went out, asking, "What's the matter?"

    "Follow me quickly." Xu Zhiyuan tugged at his elder brother's sleeve.

    Xu Fuyuan was confused, followed Xu Zhiyuan across the courtyard, and only nodded when he saw Zhao Zhenlan.

    Zhao Zhenlan saluted and said: "Brother, Wanfu."

    Xu Zhiyuan spread out the title page and handed it to the eldest brother, pointing to Zhao Zhenlan and said: "Mr. Lian's real name is Zhenlan, and she has a younger brother named Zhao Han!"

    Xu Fuyuan was dumbfounded, looking at the title page of the book for a while, and looking at Zhao Zhenlan for a while.

    What the hell is this?

    Xu Fuyuan came back to his senses after a long time, and bowed his hands seriously: "Siblings are well."

    "Brother is well." Zhao Zhenlan hurriedly replied.

    Xu Fuyuan asked: "When did Brother Ling get separated?"

    Zhao Zhenlan replied: "In the first year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought in Gyeonggi. My parents took us brothers and sisters to flee famine and beg for food. When I was outside Tianjin, I was sold for food. Since then, there has been no news of my family."

    "Brothers and sisters, please rest first, I have something important to discuss with Wu Jing." Xu Fuyuan cupped his hands and said.

    "Brother, please go ahead." Zhao Zhenlan took the initiative to go back to the house.

    There were only two brothers left in the yard, and they looked at each other, feeling strange.

    "Third brother," Xu Fuyuan asked suddenly, "How many concubines are there in your courtyard?"

    Xu Zhiyuan said, "Only two."

    Xu Fuyuan said: "The other one hastily sent away."

    "Okay." Xu Zhiyuan nodded.

    Xu Fuyuan warned: "If Zhao Han becomes the emperor, this is the eldest princess. Remember, don't attract flowers and butterflies in the future, otherwise the Xu family is afraid that disaster will fall from heaven."

    Xu Zhiyuan said: "I know this, Kekeke I can't divorce my wife because of this, can I?"

    "Don't mention the matter of divorcing your wife for the time being. We will discuss it later," Xu Fuyuan said. "This one must be married as a good concubine. Hurry up and report to the government. I will discuss it with my father. Also, if you enter the courtyard, you will have more servants."  , don’t neglect it.”

    Xu Zhiyuan asked: "Over there in Jiangxi, do you want to write a letter?"

    "You can't leave for the time being, and deepen your relationship with this younger brother and sister. Send a letter to Jiangxi and ask the second brother to go in person. By the way, bring Brother Wu Nian with you." Xu Fuyuan said.

    Xu Zhiyuan asked again: "Will you tell Zhang Ximing?"

    "You don't need to tell, this is a private matter of the Xu family." Xu Fuyuan would never tell outsiders that this is a great opportunity for the Xu family.

    A few days later, Zhao Zhenlan was officially registered and became a well-known concubine.

    Fearing that his wife would make trouble, Xu Zhiyuan simply moved out and lived in another property with Zhao Zhenlan.

    &nbspnbsp;This is an emerging industry. Although Jiangxi used to produce cotton cloth, its scale and quality are not comparable to those of Jiangnan, so it can only be sold in neighboring provinces.

    After the improvement of the hydraulic spinning machine, a large number of thick veils can be spun, and many merchants immediately followed up.  Even the landowners who had been divided into fields, because they had a lot of silver in their families, put into production and built water conservancy spinning machines one after another.

    ? It did not impact the traditional family workshop, but promoted it!

    Rural women in the cotton-producing areas of Jiangxi first knead cotton slivers at home and sell them to hydraulic spinning mills by the pound.  He also bought thick veil from the hydraulic spinning mill, spun it into thick cotton cloth, and sold it to merchants like Li Fenglai.

    However, there is a phenomenon that makes people vigilant. Due to the huge profits, many farmers have switched to cotton, which will inevitably lead to a decline in Jiangxi's grain output.

    Moreover, if anyone improves the loom, there will probably be textile factories, and the number of cotton fields will increase greatly!

    Zhao Han is discussing with officials how to ensure the size of the grain fields.  At least until the grain is abundant, the grain fields cannot be allowed to decrease, otherwise the time to unify the world will be greatly delayed.

    Li Fenglai set up a banquet in the cabin, and everyone came to sit down.

    The merchant ship opened and greeted each other.

    Xu Nianzu first asked: "Is Jiangxi still embargoing grain?"

    "At least the ban will be lifted after the summer harvest." Li Feng said.

    Xu Nianzu said: "Oh, Jiangxi is embargoed, and the famine in Jiangnan is even worse!"

    "It will be over in two years." Li Fenglai said.

    Xu Nianzu said: "After the Xia Harvest, Zhao the general army will definitely send troops again. The prefectures and counties around Dongting Lake should be taken in the summer. It depends on the east, whether he will go to Zhejiang or Fujian first. According to the normal number of routes, it is inevitable  Send troops to Zhejiang. After Zhejiang is consolidated, attack Susong's mansions from the north to the south, so that all of Jiangnan can be captured. But Zhao Zongbing seems not to want to take Jiangnan quickly to avoid fighting with the imperial court's northern army. He may attack Fujian first this summer.  "

    Wang Wei showed surprise, Xu Ying asked her to write a letter to Mao Yuanyi, apparently to fight Fujian first, but this young master of the Xu family guessed it right.

    Xu Nianzu also said: "After taking Jiangnan, Zhao Zongbing compared Huaiyang. In this way, the Jianghuai natural dangers can be attacked and defended, and the Jianghuai saltworks can be taken. To take Jianghuai, there are two options. One can go north to Shandong and Henan.  , and two can take Yunguichuan from the west."

    The cabin is full of literature and art, only Xu Nianzu has a military role, and the others can only sit and listen obediently.

 Text 286【Zhang Xianzhong】

    Anqing.

    Zhang Xianzhong has more than 100,000 soldiers and has been besieging the city for half a month.

    Can't beat it.

    There were only 3,000 Anqing defenders, but they were united as one, and even the common people came to help, fearing that they would be looted after the city was broken.

    Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry were all scattered, and the sentries extended for a radius of twenty li.  If officers and soldiers come to rescue Anqing, if there are few reinforcements, they will take the initiative to annihilate them, and if there are too many reinforcements, they will run away.

    Even today, Zhang Xianzhong does not want to go to Sichuan.

    Zhang Xianzhong had great ambitions and always wanted to cross the Yangtze River.  With Nanjing as its base, sitting in the best place in the south of the Yangtze River, it can rule at least half of the world!

    Historically, Zhang Xianzhong crashed into Sichuan, purely at the instigation of counselor Wang Zhaoling.  Later, Zhang Xianzhong wanted to leave Sichuan with his entire army, occupy the northwest and seek the world. Wang Zhaoling again provoked dissension, saying that once Zhang Xianzhong left, the generals who stayed in Sichuan would definitely rebel and stand on their own.

    Zhang Xianzhong's mass murder in Sichuan was also caused by Wang Zhaoling.

    Of course, there must not be as many killings as the history books say.

    Although the author of "Shu Bi" has all kinds of black Zhang Xianzhong, he also recorded a sentence pertinently: "(Zhang Xianzhong) has kept great ambitions since he broke Wuchang, and he has not killed much."

    The peasant army advanced step by step, and in a blink of an eye they came to the bank of the moat, and the officers and soldiers on the city began to shoot arrows.

    Suddenly, someone in the city shouted: "The thief ship!"

    On Zhang Xianzhong's side, there were also sentry cavalry galloping over: "The officers, soldiers and sailors are here, the officers, soldiers and sailors are here!"

    The peasant army that was attacking the city was immediately recalled by Ming Jin.

    Both the attacker and the defender, inside and outside the city, were all frightened by the fleet on the river.

    The Jiangxi Navy, which has expanded its army to 4,000, already has hundreds of warships of all sizes.  In addition to practicing, he usually assists the transshipment envoys in transporting official money and food in Jiangxi.

    At this moment, ten large ships of 400 yuan and thirty medium-sized ships of 200 yuan came from upstream.

    Zhang Xianzhong himself rode to the riverside, muttering to himself: "The officers, soldiers and sailors are not so majestic. They seem to be the flag of Jiangxi Zhao's bandits."

    "The Lame General" Bai Wenxuan followed, and asked in confusion, "Is Bandit Zhao going to attack Jiangnan?"

    "I'm afraid we will really fight." Zhang Xianzhong was a little frustrated.

    Such a majestic naval fleet is enough to break the natural danger of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Xianzhong never even thinks about crossing the river to occupy Nanjing.

    "Fuck into his mother!"

    Zhang Xianzhong cursed: "Order to all the ministries to stop attacking Anqing, and immediately go north with the whole army to help that bastard Li Zicheng!"

    Since the Jiangxi thief Zhao is ready to attack Jiangnan, and there are strong navy.  In Anqing, where Zhang Xianzhong still beat Mao, this place is easily besieged by officers and soldiers, so it is better to go north to Henan to help Li Zicheng.

    Of course, it is false to help, but it is true to disturb the arrangement of officers and soldiers.

    Pretend to be going to Henan, mobilize officers and soldiers from all walks of life to chase and intercept, then look for a gap and immediately go west, jump out of the encirclement and return to Huguang (Hubei).

    Seeing Zhang Xianzhong's sudden withdrawal of troops, the defenders in the city were in shock and did not dare to lead their troops to fight out.

    Even after Zhang Xianzhong left for several days, the Anqing garrison did not dare to move, for fear of being killed by the thieves - Zhang Xianzhong often did this!

    After marching for thirty miles, they began to set up camp.

    ? Zhang Xianzhong summoned the generals to discuss matters. Except for Bai Wenxuan and these generals, the descendants of Siyi Kewang, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, and Ainengqi were all present.

    "The king of Zhao in Jiangxi may be able to take down Jiangnan this year," Zhang Xianzhong said to the generals, "Let's not attack Jiangbei. Even if we take down both Huai and Huaihe Rivers, we will just stand here and serve as a shield for that Zhao."

    "Father," Sun Kewang took out a copy of "The Collected Works of Great Harmony", "I found this from a landlord's house."

    Zhang Xianzhong could know a few words, but as for his educational level, he was probably about the same as a Mongolian boy who had been in school for half a year.  He glanced at the title of the book and asked, "The book in Shanxi?"

    Sun Kewang said: "Father, this is the Datong of Datong in the world, not the Datong of Shanxi."

    "That Zhao Tianwang's book?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

    "Yes," said Sun Kewang, "I have consulted my master, and I have figured out the meaning of the first article."

    Zhang Xianzhong said with a smile: "Tell me, what kind of articles the surname Zhao wrote."

    Sun Kewang said: "The Great Harmony of the World means that the world belongs to everyone, not from any family or surname. It is necessary to select people with good moral character and ability to be officials, and to be trustworthy"

    "That's a good statement, the surname Zhao has knowledge in his belly." Zhang Xianzhong nodded in approval.

    Sun Kewang continued: "Everyone should get close to each other, and take other relatives,.  They don't sell directly to Jiangnan merchants because they are afraid that these merchants will hoard and live together.  "

    Zhang Guowei was silent for a while, he didn't believe that thief Zhao was so kind, but it seemed that there was no need to cheat.

    By the way, it must be an invitation to buy people's hearts!

    Zhang Guowei sent more than 20 people to inspect the goods in hanging baskets out of the city.  Half a day later, these people came back and reported: "Except for the sailors, there were no soldiers hiding in the ships. Some ships contained food, and some ships contained porcelain."

    Are you really here to sell food?

    For a while, officials from the six ministries in Nanjing stood on the tower and talked about it.

    Most officials suggested buying grain, because the price of rice in Nanzhili this year is too expensive.  Famine has already occurred in many villages. The price of rice in Nanjing City has risen to 1.5 taels a stone, and if it continues, it must break through 2 taels a stone.

    Gu Gao, Chen Zhenhui, Wu Yingji, Huang Zongxi and other scholars who were restored to the society, as many as dozens of people, came to the city wall together and bowed collectively: "If Jiangxi really wants to sell grain at a low price, please Zhang Bingbu will consider it for the people.  "

    Immediately afterwards, the people in Nanjing city heard that Jiangxi was transporting grain, and they also came to inquire about the situation.

    Zhang Guowei was inexplicably horrified. If he stopped him from buying grain, the people in the city might rebel.

    However, among the six departments in Nanjing, the Minister of War is the boss. Once he buys food from the rebels, he will definitely be convicted of collaborating with the enemy and treason!

    This is putting him on the fire to roast him. Whatever he does is wrong, and he is not human inside and out.

    Even if the food is bought, how will it be distributed?

    The nobles are like sharks, they must come smelling blood.  If the food is not sold to the nobles, these nobles will definitely cause trouble; if the grain is sold to the nobles, it will inevitably lead to public resentment.

    Zhang Guowei is going crazy

    ,

    Hukou.

    Just as the merchant ship docked, Xu Nianzu and others got out of the cabin to breathe, when suddenly there was a crackling sound from the pier.

    Then the gongs and drums sounded, and the suona blew joyful music.

    True, the gongs and drums are loud, and the firecrackers are all!

    But seeing a Confucian scholar get off the boat, eight people immediately stopped beside him with blue woolen sedan chairs.

    Many gentry and aristocrats came to greet them, and a master of ceremonies shouted: "Mr. Lu, please get on the sedan chair!"

    The Confucian student surnamed Lu couldn't laugh or cry, and waved his hands again and again: "You don't have to, you don't have to, I'm here to be a teacher."

    A gentry stepped forward and said, "Without Mr. Lu, the Hukou County Middle School would not have been established. Mr. Lu is my great benefactor in Hukou County. Please don't refuse and go to the school in a sedan chair."

    The Confucian scholar still wanted to decline, but a group of gentry rushed forward, surrounded him and pushed him into the sedan chair.

    Standing on the boat, Xu Fengcai asked in confusion, "Why is it that a great Confucian enters the city in eight blue sedan chairs?"

    "Hahaha," Li Fenglai couldn't help laughing, "you can tell by the badge on his chest that he belongs to the Mathematics Society. Daxing Culture and Education in the main town, no matter boys or girls, have to go to elementary school for three years. Above elementary school, there is middle school.  Many states and counties have not yet set up. There must be mathematics and geometry teachers before new middle schools can be established. This person must have been invited to teach mathematics and geometry.”

    "Jiangxi pays so much attention to mathematics and geometry?" Xu Fengcai was shocked.

    Li Fenglai said: "The general town attaches great importance to it, and the gentry naturally attaches great importance to it. In the future, I am afraid that these exams will also be taken in the exams to obtain scholars. All states and counties are secretly competing. Opening a middle school a year earlier can produce many more students.  Go first."

    Xu Nianzu asked: "How many middle schools are there in Jiangxi?"

    "More than ten, maybe twenty, and many more are added every year." Li Fenglai replied.

    Liu Rushi asked suddenly: "If the county has set up a middle school, will the previous county school be abandoned?"

    "Of course not," Li Fenglai explained, "directly change the county school to the county middle school, and still have to study the Four Books and Five Classics, and add courses such as mathematics, geometry, and Datong."

    "So that's the case, Mr. Zhao really advocates practical learning." Xu Fengcai said happily.

    The merchant ship entered Poyang Lake after a little supply, and took them to Ji'an Mansion.

    The Confucian student surnamed Lu was also sent into the city by eight sedan chairs.

    Outside the city, inn.

    Xu Du, Xu Jiaying, Zhou Gui, Wang He, Ding Ruzhang and more than a dozen scholars silently watched the sedan chair enter the city.

    Suddenly, they closed the window.

    Xu Du said: "Let's make a decision, who doesn't want to start trouble?"

    No one said anything.

    Xu Du asked again: "Who wants to start trouble?"

    All stand up.

    Ding Ruzhang said: "The emperor is stupid, and the court is immoral. There have been catastrophes in Zhejiang for several years, and now they have increased their salaries. This year and next two years, it will be a tragic situation of cannibalism again. This Mr. Zhao has not come to Zhejiang for a long time. Then we  Just take down Zhejiang and send him the territory!"

    "We have been in Jiangxi for three months to observe the government," Wang He said, "If the Jiangxi government can be implemented in Zhejiang, tens of millions of starving people will be saved!"

    Xu Jiaying said with a smile: "Your family has a lot of land."

    "After returning home, divide my land first!"

    Wang He clenched his fists tightly: "The elders in the family are all ungrateful and ungrateful. When the time comes, I will need your help. Anyone in my family who dares to obstruct the division of land will be arrested and placed under house arrest."

    "good!"

    Xu Du patted the table and said: "I will lead the soldiers to divide your land, and you lead the soldiers to divide my land!"

    Zhou Gui also stood up: "My family doesn't have a few acres of land, so it doesn't matter whether we divide it or not. If anyone else refuses to do it, I will lead soldiers to help his family divide the land."

    Ding Ruzhang said: "There is no need to rush to divide the land. Let's fight all the way from Dongyang, Yiwu, and Jinhua to Jiangshan County. After the territory borders Jiangxi, immediately ask Mr. Zhao to send people to Zhejiang. Send troops quickly, so that the government cannot react in time!"

    "Also." Xu Du nodded.

    Wang He said: "Let's make an alliance!"

    More than a dozen scholars from Zhejiang took out the statue of Guan Gong, cut the palms of their hands, and made an oath of blood.

    Guan Gong, the god of imperial examinations.

    This thing originated from the Wanli period, when Xinke Jinshi assigned work. Due to the serious phenomenon of favoritism and fraud, the Ministry of Officials switched to the method of drawing lots.

    The Ministry of Officials specially produced a "Guanhou Sign" to mark the location, size, simplified and traditional, etc.  After the Xinke Jinshi draws lots, according to the content of the draw, they will be assigned to a certain place to be a county magistrate.

    Although nonsense, it is fair.

    It's a pity that after a few years of fairness, open cheating began.

    &??, you can wear anything.  Of course, you can't wear official uniforms, military uniforms and official uniforms, and you will be beaten immediately after you are caught.  "

    When Liu Rushi saw the Nanchang Wharf, there were actually many women, who looked like wealthy families.

    They should have gone out of the city to pay respects to the Buddha, and their skirts and jackets are out of place. Anyway, they have changed randomly, but overall they are quite pleasing to the eye.

    Li Fenglai said: "That is the improved style of Mr. Fei's family. It was first worn in Ji'an Mansion and soon spread to Nanchang. The hair accessories have also been improved a lot. Ladies like it very much, and ordinary women have also started to follow suit."

    Wang Wei sighed and said: "It's really a scene of prosperity!"

    Everyone looked at it strangely all the way, and came to Ji'an mansion along the river.

    It happened to be noon at this time, when a group of coolies sat down to rest, the peddler came with a load and set up a fire to cook soup and noodles.

    "Old Li, buy a few ounces of wine!" said a coolie.

    "Hey, fifth brother, do you still want to drink today? Don't fall when you carry your bag in the afternoon."

    "What's so scary about two taels of wine?"

    "I'll come to Erliang too!"

    ""

    A group of coolies were sitting on the pier eating noodles, and everyone was selling wine and drinking, and the noodle soup was full of oil and water, with a layer of oil and spicy pepper floating on it.

    Xu Nianzu stood there stupidly, watching the coolies drinking and eating noodles, his eyes suddenly became moist.

    "What's wrong, brother?" Xu Fengcai asked.

    Xu Nianzu murmured to himself: "I should have come to Jiangxi long ago, and stayed in Jiangnan, wasting a few years for nothing. During the holy period, I can see the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it will come within thirty years!"

    ,

    The "Suppressing Cotton Field Order" has already been implemented, and it does not force anything, but only slightly increases the tax on cotton fields.

    At the same time, in case of natural disasters, the preferential policies for cotton fields will be halved.  That is, due to natural disasters, grain fields are exempted from taxes, but cotton fields can only be exempted from taxes by 50%; taxes on grain fields are halved, and cotton fields can only be exempted from taxes by 25%.

    Except for Northeast Jiangxi, cotton can be grown in the open!

    In recent years, Northeast Jiangxi, which suffers drought every year, is the best cotton-producing area in Jiangxi.

    The quality of the cotton produced there is comparable to that of Shandong cotton, and the hydraulic spinning machine is a waste of material.  It must be spun and woven by hand, and directly woven into fine cotton cloth, the price is many times that of coarse cotton cloth.

    ?The Jiangxi Provincial Government is located in Nanchang, and the left chief envoy Ouyang Zheng and the right chief envoy Huo Tao made a special trip to Ji'an to report on their work.

    ? Ouyang Zheng submitted an agricultural development plan and reported: "The various departments of the provincial government comprehensively consider the situation of the whole province and believe that in terms of farming, we should focus on the development of tea, cotton, tung oil, ramie, and tobacco leaves. Especially ramie and tobacco leaves!"

    "Tell me in detail." Zhao Han nodded.

    Ouyang Zheng analyzed:

    "There is no need to go into details about Jiangxi's tea. It was famous all over the world during the Han and Tang Dynasties. Merchants valued profits and neglected parting. The month before last, they went to Fuliang to buy tea. "Pipa Xing" mentioned Jiangxi tea. There are many mountains in Jiangxi, so it is very suitable for growing tea."

    "Jiangxi is also one of the four major cotton-producing areas in the country. Cotton should also be planted, but it is best to only plant it in the northeast of Jiangxi. Other areas in Jiangxi must restrain the number of cotton fields."

    "Tung oil and tobacco leaves are better grown in southern Jiangxi, where there are many mountains, and there is no harvest for growing food. Southern Jiangxi can also develop tea mountains, but tea mountains, like tung oil, take shape slowly, and it takes several years to harvest. Therefore, tung trees  , Tea trees are planted slowly, there is no need to rush for a while, and tobacco leaves can be promoted quickly.”

    "The main crop planted in Jiangxi should be ramie"

    Jiangxi was one of the four major ramie producing areas in the Ming Dynasty, and this thing is not too picky.  As long as the wasteland is ripe, it can be planted casually on the hillside, and the economic benefits will definitely be far greater than that of sweet potatoes.

    Moreover, the water-turned spinning wheel was originally used to weave linen yarn.  Jiangxi is densely covered with rivers, and ramie is widely planted. Even if the water-turning spinning wheel is not improved, it can be perfectly matched.

    Ramie is mainly used for weaving summer cloth, which is a cloth that is breathable and cool in summer.

    Now, the bandages in Zhao Han's army all use ramie linen.  Ramie fiber contains ingredients such as eminence, purine, and pyrimidine, which can inhibit a variety of bacteria, and also have antiseptic and anti-mildew effects. It is simply the first choice for medical bandages.

    After the promotion of hydraulic spinning machines, the most rapid increase in production last year was not coarse cotton cloth and coarse cotton yarn, but grass cloth!

    Even Cantonese merchants bought in large quantities for export to Southeast Asia.

    Because Jiangxi Xiabu suddenly became extremely cheap, Zheng Zhilong bought 20,000 pieces in one go.  The sailors especially like this thing, it is cooler and more breathable than cotton cloth, and it is not a problem to sell in Nanyang.

    Ramie can also be used to make matchlocks for matchlock guns, cables for sea ships, and so on.

    "Ramie is a good thing," Zhao Han nodded approvingly, "Take your agricultural plan and go to the Department of Government Affairs to approach the Department of Huangzhang. Remember, agricultural development must be accompanied by industrial and commercial development, and the two complement each other."

    "yes!"

    "Go."

    The two chief envoys left hand in hand.

    It is not so easy to be a political envoy under Zhao Han. You must be familiar with the industrial, agricultural, and commercial aspects of the province.

    On the other hand, the chief envoy of Ming Dynasty, since governors became the norm, the chief envoy who was supposed to be in charge of the province's government affairs was directly reduced to the director of the provincial government office.

    Really, as long as the governors and governors were sent by the imperial court, those chief envoys in the late Ming Dynasty would immediately become the directors of the provincial general office, and their actual power was not as good as that of the prefects below.

    This situation is abnormal, but it was normal in the late Ming Dynasty.

    Except for the slightly better Ministry of War, Daming's cabinet, six departments, and six departments are all dysfunctional!

    If Emperor Chongzhen wanted to turn things around, he had to regulate the various departments of the central government first, and clarify the responsibilities of officials at all levels first.

    ? When Zhang Juzheng reformed back then, he first reformed the imperial court, rectified the cabinet, six departments, and six departments, and implemented an administrative performance appraisal system.  Otherwise, the central government will be in chaos, how can reforms be carried out at the local level?

    Chongzhen was just the opposite, taking the lead in disrupting the central government!

    He placed eunuchs in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and directly disabled these two departments with a stick.

    But Chongzhen can't help it. The corruption of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households is too outrageous.  He didn't trust civil officials, so he could only send eunuchs there Then, the greed became even more outrageous.

    DepartmentHave the power to call the shots.

    "That's it." Zhao Han made another decision, "If anyone in the Xu family is unwilling to divide the land or move far away, I will send someone to persuade them. I am reasonable, and I believe the Xu family can do the same.  Listen to the truth."

    Xu Fengcai hesitated to speak, but finally dared not object.

    The Xu family is finished.

    One point for the land property, one point for the family property, scattered and relocated to five provinces, and it is estimated that they can be scattered to more than ten counties.  At that time, the hearts of the Xu clan will be broken, and it is impossible for them to be twisted together again.

    Xu Nianzu was a little scared, even sweating in his vest.

    What Zhao Han said proved that he was extremely afraid of the Xu family.  If he hadn't married his eldest sister, it is estimated that the Xu family would be used to establish a prestige, and it would not be as simple as breaking up and moving away.

    Good risk, good risk!

    While fearful, Xu Nianzu's blood was boiling with passion. This is what a hero looks like.

    The founding monarch, which one is not strong?

    Xu Nianzu looked down upon Zhao Hanruo showing signs of compromise.

    Xu Nianzu stood up suddenly, cupped his hands and said: "Please send troops to the south of the Yangtze River immediately!"

    "So anxious?" Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Xu Nianzu said: "South Zhili suffered severe drought this year. Although Zhejiang was not affected by the disaster, there will be famine in Jiangnan this year. The court's taxes are too heavy and they have been increased repeatedly. The people have long been unbearable. If the general town does not send troops, Jiangnan will at least  Hundreds of thousands of people will starve to death!

 Text 290 [Poetry Talent] (addition for the penguin boss)

    "When and how to send troops, I have already planned." Zhao Han said.

    "I know where Zhao Zongzhen plans to send troops this summer." Xu Nianzu picked up his teacup, walked to Zhao Han's table, dipped in the tea and drew a simple map.  The officers and soldiers confronted each other."

    Zhao Han felt a little interesting, and said with a smile: "Go on."

    Xu Nianzu did not continue to draw the map, but said: "The rebels in Fujian have been in chaos for many years, and the officers and soldiers of Fujian were wiped out in Jiangxi. The meaning of the general town is to send troops from Qianshan in the north and Chaozhou in the west. If you subdue Zheng Zhilong, you can go by sea.  Attack Fuzhou. The officers and soldiers of Fujian must wait and surrender."

    Zhao Han sat up straight and looked at this person. His expansion plan for this summer was actually clearly stated.

    Well, it's not outrageous, anyone who knows military strategy can guess it.

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "Since that's the case, why did you let me send troops to the south of the Yangtze River?"

    Xu Nianzu said: "Zhao Zongzhen's delay in going to the south of the Yangtze River is nothing more than fear of the imperial court's northern army. Now there is no need to be afraid. Last year, the Manchus entered the pass and turned Beizhi and Shandong upside down.  It’s a mess. Not to mention sending a large army to the south, the imperial court doesn’t have enough troops to fight in the north, and they have to send additional training salaries to train the new army. Once the training salaries are paid, the Ming Dynasty will perish!”

    "Sit down, don't stand up." Zhao Han raised his hand to signal.

    The Ming court collapsed a bit fast.

    Judging from the current situation, even if Zhao Han did nothing, Daming would definitely not last seventeen years of Chongzhen.

    Last year was a watershed——

    Zhao Han expands, the Tartars break through, and the bandits come back.

    The three forces are not involved with each other, but they influence and promote each other, and together they beat and disabled the imperial court.

    This produces a violent chemical reaction!

    Daming's finances have completely collapsed, only in the spring of the twelfth year of Chongzhen. In terms of the financial situation, it is estimated that it collapsed to the extent of the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

    Even the officers and soldiers who encircled and suppressed the bandits, many troops could not pay their food and salaries, and they all relied on the generals to rob the people themselves.

    The imperial court will continue to train the new army, and will send an additional training salary of 7 million taels.

    Most of the seven million taels of silver came from Henan, Shandong, Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Sichuan, and Hubei, plus the money embezzled by local officials, how can ordinary people bear it?

    Zhao Han wanted Daming to live a few more years, but judging from the current situation, he really couldn't live long.

    "General Town," Xu Nianzu said anxiously, "Are you just watching the people in the south of the Yangtze River starve to death?"

    Zhao Hanfa asked: "Your Xu family has so many fields, why don't you give out food to help the victims?"

    Xu Nianzu sighed: "The Xu family has a lot of cotton fields and mulberry fields, but there are really not many grain fields. If the Xu family wants to help the victims, a few thousand people are enough. Once there are tens of thousands of hungry people, they have to buy food. But the head office is in Jiangxi and southern Hunan.  Embargo, the Xu family can't buy food even if they have money! Fortunately, the drought last year was not severe, otherwise the price of rice in the south of the Yangtze River this spring would have risen to at least five taels of silver per stone!"

    The Taihu Plain and its surrounding areas belonged to the country's largest grain production base in the early Ming Dynasty.

    The rapid development of industry and commerce has led to the fact that the grain output of this grain production base is not enough for self-sufficiency, so it must buy rice from Huguang and Jiangxi.

    Zhao Han's expansion broke this supply chain!

    The decrease in grain shipments from Jiangxi and Hunan caused the price of rice in the south of the Yangtze River to soar.  Workers and farmers cannot afford food (many farmers grow cotton for food), causing a social imbalance between supply and demand, and destroying both urban and rural ecology.

    At this time, the imperial court has to pay more taxes, which is tantamount to a fatal blow.

    The gentry families in Susong and Changhu prefectures were either directly engaged in industry and commerce, or provided raw materials for industry and commerce.  How could they not be affected?

    Today, it is no longer the skyrocketing price of food, but the overall increase in social prices!

    All the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, regardless of landlords or merchants, hope to end this situation as soon as possible.  The economic ecology they have operated for more than a hundred years was completely disrupted by Zhao Han.

    "General Town, people eat each other!" Xu Nianzu shouted.

    Zhao Han sighed: "There are too many big families in the south of the Yangtze River, and there is too much resistance to dividing the land."

    Although Jiangxi has serious land mergers, it has many mountains and little land, and it is already a super wealthy family with tens of thousands of acres of land.

    However, in Jiangnan, every family has a surname, and they occupy hundreds of thousands of acres of land!

    This is the inevitable result of the prosperity of industry and commerce. Capital not only allowed fertile land to be planted with cotton, but also quickly concentrated wealth to a few families.  The richer these families are, the more they want to annex land, and this is the same situation all over the world.

    Xu Nianzu remained silent.

    "Let me think about it again." Zhao Han did not immediately refuse.

    Xu Nianzuget up.

    Liu Rushi made persistent efforts and asked: "It is said that Mr. Zhao has a reputation as a scholar, but is it true?"

    "I took the exam twice, but I failed." Zhao Han said.

    Wang Wei asked: "Are you proficient in poetry?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I haven't studied it."

    Famous prostitutes have their own way of life, these three women are trying to get Zhao Han's interest.

    I have no other thoughts, just want to get Zhao Han's care.

    Liu Rushi attended the whole conversation between Xu Ying and Zhang Pu that day, and she asked, "I heard that at the age of fourteen, Mr. Jiangxi is favored by the school inspector. Do you want to accept Mr. as a student?"

    "Yes." Zhao Han nodded.

    Both Wang Wei and Lin Xue were very surprised. They thought Zhao Han was superficial, but they didn't expect him to be a child prodigy.

    It is really rare for a provincial academic officer to take the initiative to accept apprentices, because it will definitely attract criticism.

    Liu Rushi raised the corners of his mouth: "I guess Mr. Zhao must be full of knowledge, and he only regards poetry as an outsider's way, so he doesn't bother to discuss poetry with others. Mr. Zhao must have some masterpieces?"

    They also understand "national affairs", but they are all old-fashioned, such as rectifying the administration of officials and appointing people on their merits.

    Needless to say, Jiangxi has already done it.

    Then you can only use poetry, which is the strong point of courtesans.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I think of an old work, in front of three famous masters. Don't sing the song of the old age, there is also a galaxy in the world. In Shihao Village, there are more tears than in the Palace of Longevity."

    After the poem was finished, the three courtesans stood up quickly: "Thank you for your teaching, sir!"

    Their petty thoughts were seen through by Zhao Han, and they were also beaten by this poem.  Let them sing poems and songs in the future, pay more attention to the sufferings of the people, and don't just care about emperors, generals, ministers, talented scholars and beautiful women.

    Throwing out this poem is also Zhao Han's warning to the ruling literati.

    Liu Rushi thought to himself: Mr. Zhao is worthy of being a child prodigy. He is really proficient in poetry, and he just hides it in his heart without showing any traces.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 291 [Jiangxi Literary World]

    ,

    The three famous prostitutes were sent away, and they all let out a long sigh of relief when they left the General Military Mansion.

    Lin Xue was speechless and said, "When I recited that poem, it frightened me."

    "I wasn't intimidated, but I found it interesting," Liu Rushi said with a smile, "In the past, when discussing poetry, it was always a pleasure for the host and guest. Today is the first time someone wrote a poem to admonish them."

    Wang Wei couldn't help laughing: "Mr. Zhao asked people not to sing songs about old age, but his own poem has the charm of Bai Letian."

    Liu Rushi said: "Mr. Zhao cares about the sufferings of the people, and he is a man of unity of knowledge and action. He writes poems naturally and straightforwardly. I think he is very bold, disdainful of twists and turns, and his style is very different from ordinary literati."

    The three women walked together and went out of the city to the inn, but they saw a dew pavilion outside the city.

    There are also pavilions on the pier, but most of them are posted with commercial information, but the pavilions here are more official notices.

    Wang Wei took a closer look and read: "The Luling County Government will recruit 12 more officials to watch the government. They will take care of their own food and lodging for three months. They can be turned into reserve officials. Each of the six towns in Luling will recruit three more officials to watch the government.  Party member" After reading the notice, Wang Wei sighed and said, "If I were twenty years younger, I would definitely be a government official, and I might be able to become the magistrate of the county in the future."

    Listening to Li Fenglai's explanation all the way, Liu Rushi already had some understanding of Jiangxi's administration. She said: "This notice has been smashed by wind and rain. I think it was posted two or three months ago. In Luling County alone, 30 new notices have been added.  Reserve officials, it seems that this summer is really going to send troops."

    Jiangxi has been able to mass-produce officials, and Hunan and Guangdong are almost on the right track.

    The larger the territory, the more people there will be.

    It's a pity that hidden dangers have also increased, and old and new officials are mixed together.  Especially in remote counties and towns, the clean government is out of reach, and it depends entirely on the supervision of missionaries and farmers' associations.  After the division of land is completed, most of the missionary officers will be withdrawn, and only one missionary department will be left in the county government.

    ?From this spring, the Department of Integrity of the General Military Mansion has set up 12 incorruptible officials.

    Every group of three people will draw lots to determine the location, and follow the established direction to tour the states and counties in microservices.  It is a bit similar to the inspector censor of Ming Dynasty, but has no judicial power and is not allowed to interfere in local affairs.

    Lin Xue read the second notice again: "Zhong An, the deputy mayor of Wuxing Town, married the woman from the town, Mrs. Huang. The wasteland in the mountains was collectively reclaimed by Lijia Village.  Shi and Li Long's family divided an additional three acres. After investigation, Zhong An had another crime of corruption, swallowing more than 60 shi of rice and more than 90 shi of corn"

    "According to the trial and judgment of the Luling County Government, Zhong An was allocated a mine as a miner, and his wife Huang was ordered to remarry. All the land under Zhong An's personal name was taken back, two acres of land under Huang's name were taken back, and half of Huang's natal family was taken back. Li Longfa allocated  Mines for miners"

    Liu Rushi exclaimed: "Only occupying six parts of wasteland, sixty shi of paddy rice, and ninety shi of braised grain, so two officials were distributed?"

    "Jiangxi's officials are really strict." Lin Xue said with emotion.

    Under normal circumstances, it is really not so strict.

    In this case, first, the land was moved and the absolute red line was touched.  The second is that the case happened in Wuxing Town, where Zhao Han raised his troops!

    Wang Wei sarcastically said: "This deputy mayor is really stupid. He lost his future for a few acres of wasteland and more than a hundred stones of grain. According to Li Yuanwai (Li Fenglai), he is the mayor of Jiangxi at this time.  At least he is a magistrate, maybe he can even be a magistrate."

    "There are always many short-sighted people in the world." Liu Rushi smiled.

    Lin Xue said with a smile: "There are rewards and punishments, and there is also a reward order."

    However, at the weapons factory in Luling County, a craftsman improved the production technology of rattan armor, which shortened the brewing cycle of rattan armor by three months.  A special reward of five taels of silver, a salary increase of three levels, and an acre of farmland, was selected as this year's "Top Ten Craftsmen".

    Liu Rushi said in amazement: "The craftsmen also have such courtesy."

    Wang smiled and said, "If I were a craftsman, I would work hard for Mr. Zhao."

    The three famous prostitutes became more and more interesting as they watched, so they went to the market outside the city together.

    Their first goal was not jewelry stores, nor rouge and gouache, but went straight to the nearby bookstore.

    "Three girls, please come in!"

    The bookstore owner's eyes lit up, and he came over to greet them in person. These three women are really beautiful.

    Liu Rushi said: "We are from other places, do you have any new books here?"

    "There are a lot of new books, three girls come here." The owner of the bookstore was very attentive.

    After just a few casual glances, the three women could see the difference.

    The bookstores on the Jiangnan side are purely in terms of quantity. The first is teaching materials, the second is poetry and anthology, and the third is song novels.

    And here,The drama was changed to opera again, and last year someone wrote it into a novel.  The following "Da Xing Ji" is also in this category, and can be ranked in the top three.  "

    "The second category is complaint articles. Either the family has been divided, or they feel depressed and unsuccessful."

    "The third category is articles eulogizing virtue. Although these scholars have not been officials, they support the administration of the town. Most of them are merchants. They say that China will return to the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty in just 20 or 30 years. These people are also retro-stylers.  No matter the poems or songs, they all respect the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Just last month, there were more than 30 scholars who jointly signed the Shangshu Zongbingfu, asking the Zongzhen to send troops to take Jianghuai as soon as possible."

    Wang Wei asked: "Please tell me, sir, where is the girls' school that still has teachers? The closer it is to Ji'an Mansion, the better."

    Wu Bing said: "Jishui County is building a third girls' school, and I can help write letters of recommendation."

    Wang Wei said happily: "Thank you sir!"

    Liu Rushi suddenly said: "I'm going to the Luling County Yamen to watch the government, and I will be a female official in the future!"

    Everyone was very surprised.

    ? Liu Rushi is very high-minded. Ever since she broke up with Chen Zilong, she has vowed to marry someone who is more talented.

    She thinks Zhao Han is good.

    In today's brief contact, Liu Rushi has already figured out that Zhao Han doesn't like reciting poems and writing lyrics, but prefers those who can do practical things.  So she wanted to be a female official, first to realize her own life value, and second, to attract Zhao Han's attention.

 Body 292 [Female intern]

    ,

    With Zhao Han's recommendation letter and Wu Bing leading the way, Wang Wei and Lin Xue quickly found jobs.

    Wang Wei went to a girls' school in Jishui County as a teacher, while Lin Xue cooperated with many bookstores and usually drew some illustrations for books.

    In order to test the price of paintings in Jiangxi, Lin Xue took out a picture of Guanyin painted by herself, and the calligraphy and painting shop directly gave five taels of silver.  Moreover, the owner of the painting and calligraphy shop also said that he would charge as much as he could for paintings of this quality.

    Five liang of silver is worth ten days' salary of Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others.

    Even if she doesn't do anything, but only relies on painting and selling paintings, Lin Xue can still live well, but she came to Jiangxi to get married.

    Not to be a concubine, only to be a wife.

    As for how superb Lin Xue's painting skills are, Dong Qichang once commented.  Among the female painters in the late Ming Dynasty, Yang Huilin of the Southern School and Lin Xue of the Northern School were called "Southern Yang and Northern Forest".

    There is also a great writer, Li Yu. Regardless of what his masterpiece is, anyone who understands it will understand it.

    When Li Yu was creating "Yin Zhong Yuan", he was deeply moved by the experience of the two female painters. In the opera, he married Yang Huilin to Dong Qichang and Lin Xue to Chen Jiru.

    On this day, Liu Rushi came back in a sedan chair, and a bookstore clerk helped deliver books.

    Back in the yard shared by the two, Lin Xue said in surprise: "Buying so many books, you really want to be a female official?"

    Liu Rushi smiled and said: "I have inquired about it. Yamen in various places recruit officials to watch the government every quarter. During the period of watching the government, there is no salary, and board and lodging are taken care of by themselves. As long as you don't make mistakes, you can become a reserve official in three months."

    "It seems that you have made up your mind." Lin Xue smiled.

    The two hired maids, and the mother-in-law cooks and does laundry. Their small life is very nourishing.

    Liu Rushi asked the store clerk to bring the book into the room, and gave a handful of copper coins as a tip.

    She rolled up a book and said, "Sister Lin, what do you think this is?"

    Lin Xue came over to take a look: "Fanyin."

    "It's the world's Datong silver dollar. One silver dollar is one or two taels of silver, which is much more convenient than broken silver and silver ingots." Liu Rushi threw the silver dollar over, "I'll give you one, it's rent."

    Today is sunny, Lin Xue took the calligraphy and painting to the yard to dry.

    Liu Rushi was reading a book on the porch. The book she was reading was official document writing.  The format has long been understood, but there are other rules in Jiangxi, official documents must not contain uncommon words, try not to quote allusions, and must use vulgar writing.

    Vulgar texts are colloquial articles, which can be understood as ancient vernacular.

    In fact, many academic articles in the Ming Dynasty, including the works of great Confucian scholars, often use popular Chinese to explain.  The degree of colloquialism is between classical Chinese and vernacular, only slightly more formal than "Water Margin".

    After Liu Rushi understood the rules, he stopped reading this book and picked up "The Great Ming Law of Addition and Loss".

    "The Great Ming Law of Addition and Loss" is a deleted and revised version, and about one-third of the entire book has been changed.

    After spending a few days in this way, it suddenly occurred to them that they had not registered yet, so they made an appointment to register.  You can only apply for temporary household registration, and you need to settle in for more than half a year before you can change to permanent household registration.

    Come to Huke.

    The middle partition wall has been demolished, like a large office with bright and clean windows.

    The section chief of the county government office is very young, and he is writing books at his desk.  Maybe it was because he had been working for too long, he put down the brush and rubbed his wrists, and suddenly saw Lin Xue and Liu Rushi, staring at them intently.

    "What are the two young masters going to do?" a small official asked.

    "Settled down." Lin Xue replied.

    The little official took out a household card and said, "Sit down. Outsider?"

    Lin Xue said, "Yes."

    The little official asked, "Name."

    "Lin Xue, the word Tiansu."

    "Native place."

    "Fujian, Jianning."

    ""

    "The cost of household post cost is 15 renminbi, and Chongzhen will not charge 10 renminbi. The security fee is 20 renminbi per month, which can be paid on a monthly basis or for a whole year in advance."

    "What is the security fee?"

    "There are too many people in Ji'an Prefecture, and the Criminal Division of the county government has to set up separate yamen, and build a police station every three squares, responsible for patrolling, arresting robbers, fighting fires, and fighting police."

    Both women have paid the security fee for half a year, and think this police station is very interesting, a bit like the Wucheng Bingmasi in Nanjing.

    Due to the stability and prosperity, the population of Ji'an Mansion has expanded rapidly, many of them are foreign registered permanent residence, and the total number of people inside and outside the city has exceeded 250,000.

    Even some cultivated land around the city has been demolished to build houses.

    How can the officials in the county manage it?

    &nb; The last magistrate of Luling punished Fei Chun's parents!

    ? On the first day of Liu Rushi's internship in the county government, it directly caused a sensation. Officials from various departments took turns to watch, and ran to the household department with messy excuses.

    In the first two days, Liu Rushi was just doing odd jobs. The young section chief of the household department saw that there were too many onlookers, so he threw her to the innermost place to copy official documents.  Gradually, I assisted in handling government affairs, and all kinds of work came at my fingertips. After I finished, I still had time to study mathematics by myself.

    General Military Mansion.

    Zhao Han laughed and said, "Is she watching the government at the county government?"

    "That's right, the news has reached the General Military Mansion." Secretary Wang Dai said.

    "The people under the order, don't make things difficult, and don't need to take care of them," Zhao Han asked, "Is the marching army organized?"

    Zhang Jiayu said: "Half a month of training camp."

    Fei Ruhe has been transferred back, and the official has been reinstated, but he is now in charge of the Eastern Army Academy.  He transferred the backbone of the army from Guangdong as a framework, and transferred some officers back from Hunan, and then recruited farmers and soldiers from poor areas in Jiangxi to join the army.

    The number of professional soldiers under Zhao Han finally increased to 28,000.

    Calling Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, Fei Chun, Chen Maosheng, Xiao Huan and others, Zhao Han said: "In the past few days, everyone has discussed for a long time, and I have also made a decision. This year, Fujian will not be fought, and Jiangnan will be occupied first.  , all divisions should make corresponding preparations, and send troops as soon as the summer grain enters the warehouse!"

    What made Zhao Han change his strategic decision was a letter from Xu Ying.

    Zhejiang scholars are about to revolt!

    Fushe has branches all over the country, and Yishe is the most influential branch in central Zhejiang.

    Xu Du, the leader of the righteous society, actually wanted to launch an uprising. He had linked up with scholars from several counties, and had the support of many businessmen and small and medium-sized landlords.

    Zhao Han must change his expansion plan.

    This time, Zhao Han is going to conquer Jiangnan himself, and personally control those big families in Jiangnan.

 Body 293 [Zhezhong Scholar Uprising]

    ,

    In the late Ming Dynasty, there were three eccentric Confucians: Li Zhi, Chen Jiru, and Li Yu.

    How can it be called a monster?

    Deviant!

    Li Yu is the most inexplicable among them. Although "Meat X Group" does not have a real name, anyone who is a little familiar with Li Yu's works can tell that this novel was written by him.

    There are two core ideas in "Meat X Group": pleasure is innocent, and indulgence is moderate.

    This guy especially likes to share the bed. The three concubines sleep three nights separately and sleep together for one night, which is called "unification of three parts".

    At this moment, Li Yu is not called Li Yu yet, and his name and name are very suitable for Xianxia novels.

    Surname Li, first name Xianlv, style name Banfan, nickname Tiantu!

    Moreover, Li Yu at this time had only one wife who loved each other and had no concubines.

    Lanxi County, Xiali Village.

    Li Yu was sharpening his sword in the yard, while his mother was sitting under the eaves crying bitterly, and his wife and sister-in-law comforted him patiently.

    Eldest brother Li Mao said anxiously: "Second brother, are you confused? The provincial examination will be in two months. You are a five classics boy in the county. You will pass the examination this year. Why do you follow those sour scholars to rebel?"

    Li Yu sprinkled water to moisten the sword, scratched the edge of the sword with his fingers and said, "In two months, even Hangzhou will be gone, and you still have to take the Laoshizi Township Examination?"

    "Jiangxi thief Zhao, why are you so powerful? Don't make trouble with them, and prepare for the provincial examination." Li Mao persuaded.

    Li Yu stood up abruptly, sheathed his sword, and said to his eldest brother, "Brother, you take care of the family yourself. I have to go this time. My family has been a doctor for generations, and my uncle is also a drug dealer. How can I leave Jiangxi? There are no medicinal materials in Zhangshu Town.  , Uncle can’t even do business. Brother, do you know what is the status of doctors in Jiangxi?”

    Li Mao said: "What status can I have? It is the last one."

    "Haha, it's wrong," Li Yu laughed, "Doctors are very respected in Jiangxi, and based on this alone, the Li family should serve King Zhao!"

    It is true that many scholars in ancient times studied medicine, just like studying Taoism and Buddhism, they belonged to cultivating sentiment.

    However, the medical households in the Ming Dynasty were different. "Witch doctors and monks" also said that they were not much different from artisan households, and they belonged to the object of discrimination for generations.

    Li Yu was born in the same county as Mao Pijiang in the same year. Li Yu himself is a scholar, and his family is still in business. He has many mutual friends with Mao Pijiang.  However, the two of them have never been friends in their entire lives, because Mao Bijiang looked down on Li Yu's background!

    Li Yu said to his elder brother: "Brother, if Mr. Zhao takes over the world, our Li family can really turn around!"

    "Banfan, let's go!"

    Someone outside the hospital suddenly urged.

    "Come on!"

    Li Yu turned around and bowed to his mother, then said to his wife: "If I die, you will remarry."

    His wife Xu nodded: "You go, I will watch over the house."

    Li Yu walked out with his sword in hand, followed by a house slave, who was the house slave who grew up with him.

    The house slave held a stick in his hand, and his blood was boiling.  He can read and write, if Zhao Tianwang comes, he will be free, and maybe he can be an official in the future.

    The master and servant walked out of the yard, and there were already more than ten people standing outside.

    It's all this combination of master and servant, the master holds a sword, and the servant uses a stick. They have been practicing for more than a month.

    All the people went to the county town together. In order not to attract attention, they were divided into several groups, and they came to the city one after another and lived in the home of a big businessman.

    There is a river in Lanxi County, which leads directly to Jiangshan County.

    And Jiangshan County is next to Jiangxi Guangxin Mansion.  A large number of Jiangxi commodities were transported to central Zhejiang through this route. The gentry and merchants along the way knew the situation in Jiangxi very well.

    The first day of June.

    An army composed of merchants, scholars, and domestic slaves, totaling more than 200 people, suddenly rushed out of the mansion in the city.

    Although Li Yu has superb medical skills and is a genius who is proficient in the Five Classics, he really doesn't know how to fight.  This fellow drew out his iron sword, led his slaves forward, and ran all the way towards the county government office.

    "Under Heaven!"

    "Good and bad are equal!"

    The crowd shouted slogans, and the house slaves shouted the most vigorously. They really regarded "good and bad equality" as their belief.

    Seeing more than two hundred people rushing towards them, the Yamen servants were frightened, threw down their water and fire sticks and ran away.  The officials of the Sixth House did not have time, and knelt down on the ground, hoping to save a dog's life.

    "Yufu, Zhongde, each of you will lead five people to guard the storeroom and the official register!"

    Tang Yuqi began to give orders. He was the leader of the uprising in Lanxi County.  Scholars from big merchants mainly purchase goods from Jiangxi and ship them to Jinhua for sale. They can barely be regarded as the success of the Longyou merchant gang.nbsp; Xiong Fenwei, the governor of Zhejiang, turned pale with shock, and immediately ordered all counties in Zhejiang to recruit soldiers to suppress the bandits.

    Except for being a county magistrate when he was young, this guy has all other positions as speech officials.

    For this position in Shizhong, from the Wanli Dynasty to the Chongzhen Dynasty, he almost took all six subjects.  After being transferred to the Ministry of Military Affairs, Xiong Fenwei claimed to know the soldiers and impeached several Ministers of the Ministry of War.  Because he offended Wen Tiren, he was thrown to become Shang Baoqing. To put it bluntly, he was in charge of seals and letters.

    After Zhao Han occupied Guangdong and Hunan, Chongzhen suddenly remembered that Xiong Fenwei knew the soldiers, so he promoted him to governor of Zhejiang.

    With Xiong Fenwei's order, the whole of Zhejiang was flying like dogs and dogs.

    There is already a famine in Zhejiang, and the governor actually conscripts troops and food to fight?

    ?The people of Zhejiang, who had long been overwhelmed, saw the riots in central Zhejiang, and followed suit to violently resist taxes, and at the same time refused to be civilian husbands for the government.

    In the Kuocang Mountain area, a peasant army of more than 30,000 people even appeared.

    Tangxi County.

    A member of the righteous society rushed over: "Zikou, Zikou, good news!"

    "What good news?" Xu Du asked.

    The scholar said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao has sent troops, and the army has passed Jiangshan County!"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Xu Du suddenly laughed, and summoned many scholars and business leaders: "Master Zhao has passed Jiangshan County, let's block the enemy here, and watch how those thieves are wiped out by Mr. Zhao!"

    (Ask for a monthly pass. ?

    In Jiangxi, many merchant ships were requisitioned to transport soldiers and food to the predetermined location.

    Although these requisitioned merchant ships are not paid, they can receive a tax stamp.  According to the cargo capacity of the ship, there are 20 tax discounts when passing through Jiujiang Chaoguan.

    What's more, you can change any ship to pass the customs, and the customs officials will only recognize the tax sticker.

    The merchants are very satisfied with this. They have always requisitioned civilians and merchant ships in wars.  Even if Zhao Han didn't give them anything, they didn't dare to say anything. The toll discount card is already pretty good.

    That is a real discount, even if you don't use it yourself, you can resell it to other merchants.

    This approach was done once last year.

    Merchants from other places were amazed by this. After returning to their hometown, they even took the initiative to publicize, saying that Zhao Tianwang was very kind to the merchants.

    ?The above, including civilian husbands, sent a total of 62,000 troops.

    Throughout the strategic plan, the Datong Army is like a crab, with two big claws stretched out.

    A pair of crab claws is used to cut the Dongting Lake Plain, and a pair of crab claws is used to cut the entire Jiangnan.

    Must be resolved quickly!

    At the end of May, Nanchang had become a traffic station. Except for the Huguang army, several other armies had to pass through here, and countless grains and grass had to be requisitioned by merchant ships to transport them.

    Gu Gao, Wu Yingji and Huang Zongxi were directly thrown in Nanchang because the navy was going to fight.

    The riverside is full of boats, and the river is full of boats, and there are countless coolies carrying supplies at the pier.

    The three celebrities were walking on the pier, and the situation in front of them was somewhat beyond their expectations.

    "Jiangxi soldiers will win this battle," Wu Yingji said with emotion. "In such a big war, no one panicked, and no one complained. Hawkers took advantage of the opportunity to do business, coolies can also move goods to make money, and merchants are even more moved.  The officials who go out to work in the city also have happy faces, and fighting means that they can be promoted."

    "Wars here don't seem to disturb the people," Gu Gao said, "I see that the civilian men who have been recruited seem to be very happy."

    Huang Zongxi said: "I asked someone for a few words just now. The civilian husbands of the Datong Army have changed their system since last year. There is no salary, only monthly rations, and there is no compulsory recruitment. They sign up voluntarily."

    Gu Gao was quite puzzled: "It's just that there are still people who sign up for the meal?"

    Huang Zongxi explained: "Children under the age of 12 cannot divide the land. Among the land occupied by Zhao Zhuochen, some children have already reached the age of 12, but because of this reason, they have no land.  You can get a field in your hometown. Even if you are under the age of twelve, you can reserve it first, and you are old enough to divide the field immediately."

    "No wonder those peasants are so active in fighting with only rations." Wu Yingji sighed.

    "Is there so much land in Jiangxi that can be divided?" Gu Gao asked.

    Huang Zongxi explained: "Jiangxi has been immigrating abroad to enrich the population of war-torn areas. Every time a new land is occupied, after Jiangxi immigrates, some land can be vacated in the hometown, which happens to be distributed to the children of those peasant husbands. Also, some women  After getting married, the land remains in her natal family, and there is no land under her name. As long as the husband becomes a civil husband, the woman who lost the land can regain the land."

    Wu Yingji said with emotion: "This series of land administration is indeed very powerful. Farming wars, farming wars, the ancients are sincere and do not deceive me!"

    Gu Gao muttered to himself: "In Ming Dynasty, everyone is afraid of war. On the other hand, under Zhao Zhuochen's command, officials, generals, soldiers, vagrants, merchants, and farmers are all looking forward to war."

    ?Pure people are also filthy, and the Donglin Party is naturally no exception.

    ? In the beginning, there was no such thing as the Qichuzhe Party and the Donglin Party, and they fought each other.  After deduction and deduction, I believed it, so I really went to form a party.  Many officials who help to speak are also classified as a certain party. As long as they talk and do things, they will be classified as a certain party.

    Then you don’t know right from wrong, no matter how bad someone in our party is, you will keep it, and no matter how good someone in your party is, you will kill him!

    Only by completely controlling the court can one govern the country according to one's own ideas.

    ?The first is the dispute between the cabinet and the ministries. Both the cabinet and the six ministries want to take power, and the power of the prime minister and the power of the ministries are the core of the party struggle.  The second is the cabinet and the Ministry of Education. The power of Prime Minister and the power of supervision are mutually used, and at the same time they are in the same situation.

    In the end, the Ministry of Officials and the Jingcha became a vortex of struggle for the power of prime minister, ministerial power, and supervisory power.

    However, the imperial power is high above, it is not so much being emptied, it is better to say that the imperial power has lost control of the authorities, because party struggles have messed up the central agencies.

    Zhao Han asked: "Do you want to form a party in Jiangxi?"

    "Don't dare." Gu Gao quickly denied.

    "Don't dare, or don't want to?" Zhao Han asked.

    Gu Gao explained: "It's not necessary."

    Zhao Han smiled and asked, "Why is it not necessary?"

    Gu Gao replied: "Whether it is the Donglin Party or the Fushe, the purpose is to expel traitors, select talents and make use of them, and strive to govern. But Jiangxi is already under great rule, and the Donglin Party members and Fushe scholars have come to Jiangxi.  What reason is there to form a party? The reason for forming a party no longer exists."

    "If you want to be an official in Jiangxi, you must leave the Fushe!" Zhao Han directly expressed his attitude.

    When Gu Gao boarded the ship in Nanjing, he only said that he came to Jiangxi to observe politics, but he did not admit that he wanted to be an official in Jiangxi.  But at this moment, he made a promise on the spot: "Someone is willing to leave Fushe."

    Zhao Han smiled and asked Huang Zongxi, "Where is your Excellency?"

    Without saying a word, Huang Zongxi handed over the article called "Yuan Jun".

    (Ask for a monthly pass. ?

 Text 295 [Monarch and Subject]

    ,

    Seeing that Zhao Han started to read "Yuanjun", both Gu Gao and Wu Yingji felt uneasy.

    This article is an elaboration of the monarchy. The country is like a big business, and the common people are all shareholders.  The emperor is the big shopkeeper who was hired, and the officials are the second shopkeeper, the third shopkeeper and the semicolon shopkeeper who were hired.

    It vaguely reveals the meaning of restricting the monarchy.

    Although Huang Zongxi was going all out, he was still quite nervous and kept observing Zhao Han's expression.

    Surprisingly, Zhao Han was actually smiling.

    That kind of smile is neither contempt, nor joy, nor anger.  It's like like Mr. Murakami, grading schoolchildren's homework, the meaning is indescribable.

    The article is very short, read it quickly.

    Didn't get angry?

    This was beyond the expectations of Gu Gao and Wu Yingji. It both touched Zhao Han's heart and shocked Zhao Han's city.  They believed that Zhao Han was able to tolerate dissent and at the same time control his emotions. He probably hated Huang Zongxi in his heart.

    Zhao Han asked: "Do you want to limit the monarchy?"

    Huang Zongxi replied: "It is natural that the sages of generations are the best, but it is inevitable that there will be fatuous lords."

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "You said that the common people are the shareholders, so may I ask, which are the major shareholders and which are the small shareholders? Which shareholders count when they say it?"

    Huang Zongxi was stunned.

    "Let's talk about it small," Zhao Han put down the article, "There are ten thousand shareholders in Tianxia, ??ten of them are major shareholders, and they can elect the second shopkeeper, the third shopkeeper, and the semicolon shopkeeper. Except for the emperor  Except for the big shopkeeper, the rest of the shopkeepers have to listen to the words of the ten major shareholders. The shopkeepers and the major shareholders have joined forces to fabricate false accounts, run a deficit on the firm, and embezzle privately. So, who owns this big firm? It belongs to the ten major shareholders,  Or the 10,000 shareholders?"

    Huang Zongxi fell into confusion.

    Zhao Han continued: "In this firm of Ming Dynasty, the shopkeepers were losing money, and the big shareholders swallowed up the shares of the small shareholders, which caused the firm to continue to lose money, and the business was squeezed out by the Manchu firm. As the big shopkeeper, Chongzhen wanted to turn the tide  , but no one can believe it. While teaching other shopkeepers, he forced the shareholders to invest money. The major shareholders were unwilling to invest money and asked the small shareholders to invest. The small shareholders had no money and starved to death. Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and I were both  The small shareholders who are forced to do nothing can only withdraw their capital and build another firm."

    Gu Gao and Wu Yingji stared wide-eyed, how can the general situation of the world be described in this way?

    Zhao Han pointed to Huang Zongxi again: "The so-called Donglin Party and Fushe are either the second shopkeeper or the shareholders who want to be the shopkeeper. You think you can make the company prosperous, but you have been greedy for the money of the company. Even if you don't greedy now  , will be greedy in the future! May I ask how many honest officials there are in the world? In my opinion, the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party are the sameDon’t be angry, everyone, I know you have virtues, but what good is virtue in governing the country and the people?"

    Huang Zongxi stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you for your enlightenment, sir, I will take my leave!"

    Zhao Han said: "Just live on this boat."

    The three were taken to the cabin, where Zheng Sen, Kuang Lu, Wang Dai, Zhang Jiayu and other secretaries who followed the army lived together.

    While exchanging pleasantries, Huang Zongxi took out "Theory of Family, Country and World", and re-read it while thinking carefully.

    The next day, take a boat to the west.

    Huang Zongxi not only revised "Yuan Jun", but also wrote two articles "Yuan Chen" and "Yuan Min" one after another.

    Combined, the three articles are roughly as follows:

    All the people are raised naturally, and survive and reproduce through labor.  All industries, regardless of high or low, are creating wealth for the country.

    However, people need to resist natural disasters, fight against foreign enemies, mediate disputes, and punish crimes.  Therefore, there must be a leader, and this person is the monarch of the world.

    The monarch is supported by all the people and has supreme power.  His power is endowed by the people, and it should be for the well-being of the people, otherwise it belongs to an incompetent monarch.

    There are many people, the world is too big, and the monarch cannot govern alone, so hundreds of civil and military officials and officials are needed.  The way to be a minister is not to be loyal to the emperor, but to be loyal to the people.  Officials do not have the salary of the king, but the salary of the people.

    After "Yuanjun", "Yuanchen" and "Yuanmin" were written, they were first circulated in the cabin.

    Kuang Lu exclaimed: "Mr. is a great talent, this is a masterpiece!"

    "This is a statement that harms the country!" Tao Aizhi was furious, "As a minister, he should be loyal to the emperor. He said that Mr. Zhao, without him raising his arms and shouting, would there be great governance in Jiangxi? The people are like sheep, without the leader to lead the way.  Buried in the belly of tigers and leopards. It is not for the people to support Mr. Zhao, but for Mr. Zhao to provide for the people. We are ministers, eat the king's salary, and are loyal to the king!"

    Zheng Sen, Wang Dai, Zhang??With a passion and a heart full of people, I didn't expect to have so many complicated thoughts!

    Wu Yingji also said: "The "Yu Zhi Da Gao" has been shelved by Chengzu, how long can "Da Tong Ji" exist? At most one or two generations of kings, "Da Tong Ji" will be deleted beyond recognition."

    "Boom~boom~~~"

    There was a sound of piano, but Kuang Lu was in a happy mood, playing the piano and singing on the deck.

    Kuang Lu didn't think as much as Wu Yingji. When he was young, he was unrestrained and unrestrained. The young man avoided disaster and visited half of China.  Hearing a lot, seeing a lot, thinking a lot, after hearing what Zhao Han said today, he was completely overwhelmed by his heart.

    Another hour later, Huang Zongxi came over with the supplemented article: "Brother Kuang, please correct me. If there is anything wrong, I will take it and revise it."

    "Correcting should not be done, it's just mutual confirmation." Kuang Lu said happily.

    These two people were strangers before, but now they seem to be good friends who have known each other for many years.

    Just as they were discussing the article, it was almost evening, and the fleet docked between Hekou Town and Ehu Town.

    After many years, Zhao Han finally returned to Qianshan Mountain, and he still came with an army.

 Text 296 [Family with a Good Wife] (addition for the penguin boss)

    ,

    Goose Lake, Fei Zhai.

    ?Because the second child and the third child were arguing about the separation of the family and property, Ehu Fei's main family has been divided into three.

    The household registration is divided, and the house is shared.

    Moreover, the boundaries of the scope are clearly drawn, which courtyard belongs to which family, and generally they will not randomly drop by.

    Two-thirds of the domestic slaves left, and those who remained were all converted into employment contracts.  The shopkeepers of the shops, who used to belong to domestic slaves, are now all hired workers.

    "Papa"

    "Ah! Ma'am, don't beat me, the servant will be beaten to death!"

    "Screaming so loudly, I think you are far away from death!"

    ""

    The second child, Fei Yingqi, has a shrewd wife, the Zheng family, who has never dared to take a concubine.

    This fierce wife is very fierce. She has beaten and killed domestic slaves before, but she still hasn't restrained herself much.

    Mrs. Zheng was sitting in the hall at the moment, holding a bamboo stick, and said with a stern expression: "Do you know what's wrong?"

    "I know I'm wrong, this servant knows I'm wrong." The maid knelt on the ground, she didn't dare to make a sound even if she wanted to sob.

    Mrs. Zheng sneered and said: "You bitch, you are becoming more and more lawless. Don't think that you bitches will be able to turn around if Brother Han releases the slaves. In this E Lake, it is still my Fei family who has the final say, Brother Han  He is also the son-in-law of the Fei family. If you report to the officials, from the village to the town to the county, which official would dare to disgrace my Fei family?"

    The maid repeatedly begged for mercy: "Ma'am, please forgive me, this servant will not dare, this servant will not dare!"

    "Hmph, don't fight for three days, and go to the house to remove the roof tiles," Zheng muttered and complained, "This brother Han is really good. It's all right to divide the family and property, and distribute it to your own family. The land is distributed to the lowly and poor outsiders.  , turning your elbows outward. The worst thing is to release you house slaves!"

    The maid kowtowed immediately: "The servant is born to belong to the wife, and dies to be the ghost of the wife. In the next life, she will be a cow or a horse and serve her."

    "For you are sensible, go back." Zheng Shi just gave up.

    However, it is said that Fei's treatment of the slaves in the whole Goose Lake is relatively normal.  Even Mr. Fei, who framed Zhao Han, was still kind and would not beat, scold or scare anyone.

    Only the Zheng family of the second family is almost abusive.

    ?After Zhao Han's land division order and slave release order, many old masters, bosses, and domestic slaves in the third courtyard are willing to stay and become servants.

    Especially for married women, when their husbands share the property, they can also work as servants in Fei's family to make money, and their small life becomes more and more prosperous.

    Only in the courtyard of the second child, all the house slaves ran away, and there was no one left. They could not bear Zheng's abuse.

    After the work of dividing the land was over, the mission officers withdrew collectively, leaving only the mission department in the county government.  Although the farmer's association was formed, its key members were transferred in various ways. Now the village head and the farmer's association dare not offend the Fei family.

    Therefore, the Zheng family forcibly recalled the former servants.

    She didn't dare to provoke those with too strong a temper, and only dared to call back those with weak personalities.  They were forced to sign employment contracts, and they were beaten severely if they disobeyed. The number of beatings was even more than before.

    "Third Master, Zhao Tianwang is back!"

    It was already dark, and Fei Yingke, the third child, was in the concubine's room. When she heard the news, she hurriedly got up and put on her clothes.

    The second wife's first wife is fierce and has never dared to take concubines.

    The third wife's main wife is weak, and she already has ten concubines, leaving six sons and thirteen daughters.

    The concubine's room is not allowed to divide the land!

    This is the rule set by Zhao Han, the purpose is to let the concubine leave voluntarily, and not to be greedy for a man's power and money.

    The third eldest, Fei Yingke, is a lover, with one wife and ten concubines. No one wants to leave, and everyone thinks he is a good husband.

    Fei Yingke put on her clothes, opened the door and asked, "Where is Zongzhen Zhao?"

    The male servant replied: "It seems that I don't want to interfere with the commercial passenger ship. It stopped between Hekou Town and Ehu Town and didn't disembark."

    Fei Yingke said: "It's getting late, don't bother me. Prepare your etiquette, set off at midnight tonight, and meet at the riverside tomorrow morning."

    "Okay, I'll get ready now." The maid left immediately.

    Although Fei Yingke coaxed everyone to be filial, he forced his father to divide the family property.  But he is really kind to his wives and concubines, and his sons and daughters are also filial. Three sons have been sent to be officials, and two of them will definitely be promoted this time.

    The servants in the courtyard were busy, and they were in full swing, just like a new year's festival.

    Fei Yingqi, the second child in the yard next door, was woken up, and asked in a daze, "This is the third child's house being burglarized?"

    "It's so noisy, and they don't let people sleep!" Zheng sat up and cursed.

    Fei Yingqi was made even more upset, why didn't this wicked woman die?  hehouse.

    "You four, quickly chase him back!" Mrs. Zheng stomped her feet anxiously.

    The old man Fei Yuanyi had also been woken up.

    Ask about the situation and ask the slaves to prepare as well.  When he went out in the middle of the night, he dared not sit in a sedan chair, and was assisted on the road with a walking stick.

    No matter what the previous relationship was, he must go to see him.

    However, the servants in the second courtyard collectively fled at night and ran wildly towards Hekou Town.

    "Alas!"

    "Get up, I'll help you."

    Everyone supported each other, and after passing through Ehu Town, they finally felt relieved and walked slowly.

    "Will King Zhao care about this?"

    "Brother Han is righteous, so he must take care of it."

    "But he is the son-in-law of the Fei family, and most likely he wants to speak for the Fei family."

    "Everyone from all over the country says that Brother Han is a good person, and he is for the hard-working people."

    "It's different when we meet Fei's family. Let's go to the village chief first, and then the mayor, who dares to meddle in his own business? Not only did he ignore it, but someone tipped off the news, and the good son was beaten to death by that wicked woman."

    "If you don't believe Brother Han, who else can you trust? If you risk your life, you have to gamble!"

    ""

    More than a dozen servants finally vaguely saw a fleet of ships by the river with apprehension.

    "Stop!"

    Most of the soldiers did not disembark, but troops were stationed on the shore, and there were soldiers standing guard at the front and rear.

    These servants immediately knelt down: "Master Jun, I know Zhao Tianwang, we are here to avenge justice!"

    "Brother Han, help me!"

    "Brother Han, I'm Fei Gu, I've spoken to you!"

 Text 297【Many people will be unlucky】

    ,

    It was four o'clock in the morning.

    When these people were brought on board, not only Zhao Han got up early, but also the secretaries and celebrities in the next cabin woke up one after another.

    "Greetings to King Zhao (Master, Brother Han, Mr. Zhao)!"

    All kinds of titles were shouted from the servants, and they all started to kneel down in unison.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "If someone calls me brother Han, then don't meet outsiders, and stand up and talk."

    Some people stand up, some people kneel, some people stand up and look around and want to kneel again.

    "Stand up!" Zhao Han shouted.

    The kneeling man stood up in fright.

    The standing people fell to their knees in fright.

    The two guards standing guard beside Zhao Han bit their lips to hold back their laughter.

    After everyone stood up, Zhao Han shouted outside again: "Come in and listen too."

    Secretaries and celebrities filed in.

    Zhao Han said: "Choose a representative to speak, don't gossip."

    Fei Gu was elected as a representative, he didn't express his grievance directly, but approached him: "Brother Han, I'm Fei Gu, do you remember me?"

    "Hello Brother Fei Gu, tell me something." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Fei Gu was very happy, and said: "Brother Han sent people back to Ehu to divide the land and released the slaves. This is a great thing. My family has also divided the land, and life is very good. But after the autumn harvest last year, madam"

    "Which lady?" Zhao Han interrupted.

    "It was the former Second Young Mistress," Fei Gu explained, "Second Young Mistress was very mean, Brother Han knew it, and often beat and scolded people. After the slaves were released, no servants were willing to stay as servants. After the slaves were released,  The Second Young Mistress hired more than 30 servants one after another, but she beat them all away. She also took the employment contract to report to the official, saying that the employment period was not completed, and the servants who ran away would be compensated."

    Zhao Han asked: "What is the result of reporting to the officials in the county or the town?"

    Fei Gu replied: "It was all mediated by the town, and the mayor favored the Second Young Mistress. Those servants would rather borrow money to compensate them than continue to do so. The Second Young Mistress couldn't find a servant, so she took four evil servants with her.  Slave, call us house slaves back with a stick."

    "The village chief doesn't care?" Zhao Han asked.

    "It doesn't matter," Fei Gu said, "As far as wages are concerned, the second young mistress paid enough, and she didn't deduct any more after the separation. She just likes to beat and scold the servants indiscriminately. Regardless of whether she has done anything wrong, if she is in a bad mood, she will beat her up."  People vented their anger. Last winter, Fei Liang was pregnant with legs, and he could not go to the ground for more than a month. He dared to go to the town to report to the officials. The mayor didn't care at all, and sent someone to inform the second young lady. The second young lady beat Fei Liang again.  Dun, the beating was so fierce that everyone was crippled, so he took him back to Fei Liang's home, and only gave him a tael of silver for soup and medicine."

    "Where's Fei Liang?" Zhao Han frowned.

    Fei Gu said: "Dead. He lay dead at home for half a month. Fei Liang's parents went to report to the officials, and the county magistrate said that there was insufficient physical evidence, and he was sentenced to Fei Liang's death from a fall."

    Zhao Han asked the other servants: "Is Fei Gu telling the truth?"

    "It's all true!" Everyone echoed.

    A maid named Xi Lan stood up, pulled up her sleeves and said, "I was beaten up yesterday, and my arms were pulled out with bruises."

    Zhao Han said to the captain of the personal guard: "Head the prefect of Guangxin and the prefect of Guangxin, who is in charge of the criminal law. There are also the magistrate of Qianshan County, the chief of the criminal section of Qianshan County, the mayor of Ehu Town, the deputy mayor,  The head of Eshan Village is calling!"

    The captain of the personal guard immediately went to arrange, and soon brought back two people.

    The magistrate of Qianshan County and the head of the Criminal Section were waiting on the shore, as were other officials of Qianshan County, who came by boat at night to listen.

    Zhao Han briefly described the case and asked, "Is this how you judged the case?"

    Feng Shenglun, the county magistrate, was so frightened that his forehead was sweating, he explained: "The chief town, I was transferred to the county magistrate of Qianshan County two months ago.  I heard that I have made outstanding achievements in government, and I was called to Bailuzhou Academy for further study, and this time I will go to Hunan with the army."

    "Very good, very high, outstanding achievements, and promoted!" Zhao Han smiled all over his face, and those who knew him knew that he was extremely angry.

    Every time a big battle is planned, outstanding officials will be selected in advance, and they will be sent out with the army after advanced studies, and they will be responsible for managing the grain transporters full-time.  Once a new site is occupied, civil affairs can be taken care of immediately, and the whole process is seamlessly connected. Only when the expansion is too fast will there be a temporary shortage of officials.

    Zhao Han asked again: "Where's the chief of the criminal department?"

    Feng Shenglun said: "I also went out with the army. Two of the chiefs of the various departments of the county government will be promoted to other places this year."

    &nbWe can live in harmony in the world.

    Marching outside, we should not delay because of this matter.

    After appeasing the gentry, Zhao Han said to Feng Shenglun, the county magistrate: "You are responsible for the trial of this case. If you handle it properly, you can cancel the penalty of serious demerit. It will be tried here on the shore, and you don't have to go back to the county government. When the magistrate of Guangxin comes, let us  He watched your trial!"

    He also said to the servants of Fei's family: "In the future, if anyone dares to retaliate and the local officials ignore it, you can go directly to the Ji'an General Military Mansion to complain!"

    Everyone was invited to disembark, and the fleet set sail with the army.

    An official was paralyzed on the shore. He was the mayor of Ehu Town.  When the case happened, he was only the deputy mayor, but he was also involved.

    As for the original mayor, he also went out with the army this time, and he will be promoted in a different place soon, and he will be temporarily assigned to Fei Ruhe's army.

    None of the officials involved can escape.

    Even the officials who handled the matter will be questioned and punished.

    Feng Shenglun, the county magistrate, was still speculating on Zhao Han's thoughts. If the punishment was too light or too heavy, it might cause Zhao Han's unhappiness.

    This is really difficult.

    Feng Shenglun looked at the servants, gritted his teeth, and decided to make a serious case this time.

    Feng Shenglun shouted loudly: "Come here, arrest Fei Yingqi, Mrs. Zheng, and their four evil slaves immediately!"

    The prefect of Guangxin had already arrived at this time, and he was confused as he watched the fleet go away.  Zhao Han recruited him urgently and left without seeing him. What's going on?

    This old man is really unlucky, something happened in the county, he didn't know it at all, but now he has to be held accountable.

 Text Month-end summary and October rankings

    ,

    After writing novels for many years, the results have been half-dead, and this book finally has a miracle.

    Suddenly I feel a little emotional, so let me just say a few words.

    ? When I started coding, I was still in college. I didn’t think about making money at the time, and my biggest expectation was to be able to sign a contract.  After scribbling four or five books, the 300,000-word contract was finally signed, and the 500,000-word book was finally put on the shelves.

    Unlimited streaming novels cost hundreds of dollars a month, and I felt that I was overwhelmed at the time.

    Then, the signing failed, the signing failed, the signing failed

    ? I once thought I was a literary genius, but was slapped in the face by reality.

    Graduation obediently looking for a job, the internship salary is 1,800, the second month is 2,000, and it rises to 2,500 after half a year.  After one year, I will change jobs, with a monthly salary of 3,500.

    ? I worked for a month and a half after changing jobs, but I was unhappy anyway, so I resigned to write a book regardless of the consequences.

    To be honest, it was a pretty good job.

    Compile a newspaper for a boss, no need to clock in, just go with you.  Before joining the company, they even said that they could edit manuscripts at home.

    It's a pity that the boss is so annoying, he often asks me to go to the company to help with other things.  Sometimes guests came and dragged me to drink and brag with a group of "old cultural people" (retired veteran cadres who like literature but have little literary literacy).

    Generally speaking, I go to the company about four or five times a week, and I have to go to work four or five hours a day.  But there are still about two hours, so I have to waste time with my boss, and even longer if I drink and eat.

    Hearing what 996 is now, I really want to laugh, I had a good life back then.

    After resigning, I couldn't laugh anymore.  Concentrate on writing novels, the manuscript fee is 500 yuan for half a year, and find someone to borrow money to pay the rent.

    Once when it was launched at the same time as Tiger, he asked me how many subscriptions I had, and I said more than 100 subscriptions.  He also comforted me not to be discouraged, saying that I have been working on the old for a long time, and only by not giving up can I achieve results.  Tiger probably forgot about me, because I only talked to him once, and nearly ten years have passed.

    Going up the mountain to fight tigers, do you still remember ten years ago, when you comforted a dead man who couldn't pay the rent?

    Having been comforted by the tiger, I was very excited, so I conveniently handed over the new book that had just been put on the shelves.

    ? Re-open the book, the first order is almost a boutique.

    At that time, I didn't want to cry, but I felt that I was so awesome that I finally didn't have to worry about the rent.

    After that, there is nothing to say. After writing each book, the God of Harmony is with me.

    ?The more I write, the more homely I become, the more lonely I become, and I don’t even talk about QQ and WeChat, which has failed many book friends who joined the group.

    This book is amazing, and I was still apprehensive on the day it was uploaded, because it started off really badly.  Suddenly there was Baiyinmeng, and then Jinjinmeng again, it felt like a dream.  I'm sorry here, I haven't chatted much with the leaders.

    In addition, I would like to say sorry to all book friends, the writing was very rough after it was put on the shelves, and I didn't have so much time to polish it.

    I can only say that I write with my heart, get back to the state as much as possible, and then write more excitingly.

    Pile up information or something, some content, you really can't find it with Baidu.  Those nonsense that affect the reading experience actually consume more writing time, but I really can't help but want to write.

    Try to avoid, try to avoid.

    Speaking of the results of this month, high-end bookings are close to 54,000, average bookings are close to 26,500, and monthly tickets are also in the top 15.

    I haven't looked at the data for a long time, and I just read it after writing this single chapter, and suddenly I feel that I am very awesome.

    ?Thank you for your support, every tip, every subscription, and every monthly pass is a recognition of Lao Wang.

    So, can we be more awesome?

    Next month there will be a double monthly ticket event, and the brothers are getting angry.

    In the past, Lao Wang didn't dare to ask for a monthly pass. With the support of book friends, he dared to ask for a monthly pass.

    This time there are 100,000 Datong soldiers behind them, and they will definitely poke the chrysanthemum in front of them.  Let's kill the Quartet together, bloodshed, and millions of dead bodies!

    Monthly ticket starts

 Body 298 [Ethical dramas and martial arts films]

    ,

    Xinjiang, the shore.

    A table for the Eight Immortals and three benches were set up.

    ? Play mahjong, if one of the three is missing, and if there is another one, they will all work together.

    "boom!"

    Feng Shenglun slapped the gavel and shouted: "Take the suspects Fei Yingqi, Fei Zhengshi, Fei Ren, Fei Pu"

    It was already afternoon, and many gentry did not leave, but more people came to watch.

    There are even passenger ships soliciting business, bringing people here to hear the trial, and just floating on the river to watch the whole process.

    Throughout the morning, they were collecting testimony, witnesses, evidence, and writing various case materials.  Even the officials from the Li Ke and Hu Ke were seconded to help, otherwise everyone would not be able to sleep tonight.

    Zhao Han has actually left a clear message: the case will be heard by the river.

    What do you mean?

    Conduct a public trial in front of countless gentry and ordinary people, and if you are not allowed to leave until the trial is over, let's pitch a tent by the river.

    In addition to officials from Qianshan County, officials from Guangxin Prefecture also came.  There is also the Integrity Yamen of Guangxin Mansion. They are responsible for auditing records today. After collecting all kinds of information, they will review the officials involved.

    As for Feng Shenglun, the county magistrate, he has no right to judge officials.

    Zheng's whole body was already limp, and he couldn't even stand still.  The suspect must not be allowed to kneel now, so a stool was brought and she was seated for trial.

    "Fei Ren, Fei Pu," Feng Shenglun asked, "Did you two beat Fei Liang on the second day of the twelfth lunar month in the eleventh year of Chongzhen?"

    Fei Pu was standing there, but was so frightened that he suddenly knelt down: "The magistrate, please forgive me, I really didn't want to beat him to death. When I beat him, I put down my strength, but it was my wife who asked me to beat me hard, and also scolded me for eating so much that I didn't have the strength.  "

    "That's right, Madam asked me to beat me. My arm was sore from the beating. Madam ordered me to beat me harder." Fei Ren also knelt down.

    Feng Shenglun asked: "The lady you are talking about is Fei Yingqi's wife Fei Zheng?"

    "It's her." The two evil slaves said in unison.

    Feng Shenglun asked again: "Why did Fei Zheng beat Fei Liang?"

    Fei Pu replied: "Fei Liang's leg was beaten badly before, and he didn't get out of bed until he was raised for a month. He went to the town to report to the police, and his wife found out about it, so she arrested him and beat him up."

    "How did Mrs. Fei know that the servant sued the government?" Feng Shenglun asked.

    Fei Ren said: "Zhang Fu, the clerk in the town, personally went to Fei's house to report the news."

    Feng Shenglun told the officials of the Guangxin government: "According to the investigation, Zhang Fu went out with the army, and he is likely to be the deputy mayor in the newly occupied land. Whether he went to Huguang or Jiangnan, this has to be asked by the official election office of the Jiangxi Chief Secretary."

    Integrity officials immediately record.

    Feng Shenglun asked Zheng Shi again: "Fei Zheng Shi, but Zhang Fu, the civil official of Ehu Town, secretly tipped you off?"

    Mrs. Zheng sat stupidly and didn't speak.

    "boom!"

    Feng Shenglun slapped the gavel fiercely: "Fei Zheng, I will ask you again, but Zhang Fu tipped you off!"

    Zheng Shi was still speechless.

    ?After asking three times in a row, Feng Shenglun said: "Since you don't speak, it will be regarded as tacit consent. Bring the parents of the victim Fei Liang to court!"

    A middle couple was brought over, crying and shouting that their son died unjustly.

    After inquiring about the consequences of his progress, Feng Shenglun said, "Fei Liang was brought home on the second day of the twelfth lunar month?"

    The deceased's mother just cried.

    The father of the deceased said: "On the night of the second day of junior high school, the four of them brought my son back, saying that he was injured when he fell into a ditch. How could it be that he fell? The skin and flesh on the waist were smashed, and the bones were visible.  " The man became more and more excited as he talked, and shouted at the crowd, "The villagers are all commenting, who can fall like that in a ditch? My son! Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"

    ? The onlookers were discussing and pointing at Mrs. Zheng.

    Mrs. Zheng still sat there stupidly, as if she was wandering away.

    After getting to know many details, Feng Shenglun asked: "After Fei Liang's death, did you report to the officials?"

    "Go," said the father of the deceased. "The county magistrate at that time, surnamed Kong, sent two officials and a foreman to conduct an autopsy on my son. After less than half a stick of incense, he insisted that my son fell to his death."  of."

    Feng Shenglun said to the clean government officials: "I have sent people back to the county to investigate the files. These three people who have handled them will definitely be able to find out who they are."

    Due to the temporary absence of three important persons, the murder case could no longer be tried.

    Then proceed to the trial of other cases, mainly about the Zheng family forcibly recruiting good people as servants, and then beating and insulting the servants for a long time.

    These cases are simple. Not only are there witnesses, but many helpers are still injured at the moment.

    &The officials collectively rested by the river.  Some pitched tents, and some slept on boats. Anyway, no one was allowed to leave until the case was settled!

    The big uncut melon left everyone unsatisfied.

    What is even more regrettable is that many people came too late and did not see Zhao Tianwang's demeanor.

    The restaurant in Fei Ruhe's family is booming now.  Merchants traveling from south to north must eat in the restaurant, and the restaurant was even renamed "Longxinglou".

    Zhao Han worked as the second shopkeeper here, and personally taught various "court dishes".

    Fei Chun used to tell stories and novels here, Chen Maosheng once sang operas here, and Zhang Tieniu often came here to eat.

    There have been countless versions of their stories.

    ?For example, Zhao Tianwang was the royal chef in his ancestors, and he mastered many palace dishes that have been lost.  Every time Zhao Tianwang came to the restaurant, he deliberately chose a noisy place and concentrated on reading to exercise his will.

    Chen Maosheng is regarded as a master of Yiyang opera. According to those who have heard him sing opera, Chen Zhangsi's opera opera is unmatched in ancient and modern times.  Before his death, an opera fan wanted to listen to Chen Zhangsi sing an opera. After the opera was over, the man recovered without any medicine.

    There is also Fei Chunfei, the head of the storyteller, who can tell a lot of hype, and even "Gourd Baby" has been rewritten as a novel.

    The legend of Zhang Tieniu is the most outrageous, because all the coolies on the dock know him.  These coolies love to brag, and the more they talk, the more evil they become. Zhang Tieniu has to eat five catties of rice every day, and he can lift a hundred catties of sacks with one hand.  The sworn brother was killed by the eunuch, Zhang Tieniu resorted to the Tiyun jumping method, stole the elder brother's head hanging on the pole, and crossed the Xinjiang River on a bamboo pole.

    At this very moment, on the passenger ship in the river, a scholar who had watched the excitement was writing a novel.

    The novel is called "Biography of the Sons and Daughters of the Wind and Cloud", and the overall style imitates "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

    There are several male protagonists, namely: Xin Zhao (Zhao Han), Li Heming (Fei Ruhe), Li Zhen (Fei Chun), Wang Jushan (Zhang Tieniu), Yang Tianwei (Pang Chunlai).

    This scholar obviously collected a lot of information, plus various hearsay.

    In his writing, Yang Tianwei (Pang Chunlai) is the son of a general in Liaodong. Because the eunuchs colluded with the Tartars, his family was ruined and he was exiled in the world.  In Laoshan, I had to meet strangers, learned half a volume of Taoism, three volumes of military art, and five volumes of political strategy, and also learned a lot of superior martial arts.

    The first tens of thousands of characters in the novel are all about Yang Tianwei (Pang Chunlai).

    As for Zhao Xin (Zhao Han) and others, they are all apprentices he accepted in Qianshan.

    Zhao Han burned the county government, Zhang Tieniu stole the head late at night, these stories are all linked together.  Chen Maosheng is even described as an assassin, singing is just to cover up his identity, and he specializes in assassinating corrupt officials.

    Ma Liaoyang and Zhang Puwei, the two leaders of the Secret Esoteric Sect, even made prominent appearances.

    Ma Liaoyang and Zhang Puwei both learned heresy ways.

    ? Yang Tianwei (Pang Chunlai) only had half a book of Taoism, but he was able to beat two leftist monks to serious injury with one against two.

    Therefore, after they left Lead Mountain, the two heretics dared to rebel.

    Even the history of Yanshan County, who was stabbed to death by Zhao Han, became a master of martial arts in the novel.  The plot of Zhao Han setting fire to the county yamen almost turned into a solitary raid into a dragon's pool and a tiger's lair, and in the end, he flew over the walls and left over the city wall.

    Xiucai put away the pen and paper, went to sleep with her clothes on, and waited for tomorrow to continue watching the case.

 Text 299 [It’s better to go home and grow sweet potatoes] (addition for the penguin boss)

    ,

    Feng Shenglun, the prefect of Qianshan County, slept in a tent by the river for six days, and the prefect of Guangxin slept with him for six days.

    This is the order left by Zhao Han: Handle the case by the river, lead the presiding judge of Qianshan County, and serve as jurors for the prefect of Guangxin.

    At night, by the river, in tents.

    Ding Xukun, the prefect of Guangxin, drove away mosquitoes with a cattail fan, pulled up the mosquito net and said, "Youti, when did you go to school?"

    "In the second year of Chongzhen," Feng Shenglun asked, "Where is Prefect Ding?"

    Ding Xukun said: "We entered school in the same year, but I was a Juren in the third year of Chongzhen."

    "Disrespect, disrespect!"

    Feng Shenglun felt a little upset, you are a juren, and you are not much higher than a scholar like me.

    Ding Xukun sighed: "Oh, I'm not showing off, but I'm feeling. At that time, even the Zhongdao Examination and the Township Examination were so glamorous. I really never thought of rebelling against the Emperor of Ming Dynasty."

    "The world is unpredictable, but now it's fine." Feng Shenglun said.

    "Yeah, it's good. Let's take this case as a warning," Ding Xukun said, "If you and I encounter this kind of thing, even if the punishment is cancelled, it is impossible to be promoted in a short period of time. You are the magistrate of Qianshan County.  Take good care of the Fei family, and make no mistakes."

    Feng Shenglun said: "This case can be handled as a matter of business. There is no need to keep an eye on Fei's family because it is Mrs. Fei's natal family after all."

    "It's necessary, it's very necessary," Ding Xukun said, "Beating the Fei family is beating the big families in the world. Keeping an eye on the Fei family is swearing on the gentry everywhere. Including your family, including my family!"

    "Understood." Feng Shenglun said.

    It's really hard to be an official in Jiangxi. Although the promotion is fast, you will be punished if you go wrong.

    Just take this time as an example, does it have something to do with Ding Xukun?

    It is equivalent to a prefecture-level city, a certain county, a certain town, and a certain village within the jurisdiction. A murder case was suppressed by the county magistrate, and the mayor Ding Xukun was actually held accountable.

    The seventh day.

    Wu Zuo, who fled into the mountains, was finally arrested and brought to justice.

    "boom!"

    "Ascension!"

    Feng Shenglun said with bloodshot eyes: "Kong Yan, the deceased Fei Liang, did he fall to death or was he beaten to death?"

    The assistant named Kong Yan kept crying: "I'm sorry Mr. Zhao, I shouldn't do a random autopsy. I thought at that time, I want to repay Mr. Zhao's great kindness. Mr. Zhao is the son-in-law of the Fei family. I  After receiving Mr. Zhao's kindness, why should I speak for the Fei family"

    Wu Zuo, that is, forensic medicine, was a lowly slave in the Ming Dynasty, and his descendants were not allowed to be officials.

    Zhao Han abolished the distinction between good and bad, and all the writers in the world are the immediate beneficiaries.

    "boom!"

    Feng Shenglun took a picture of the gavel: "Don't talk nonsense, did he fall to his death or was beaten to death!"

    Kong Yan said with difficulty: "The one who was beaten to death had a damaged spine and bleeding from five viscera. Even if he could be rescued at that time, he would probably be paralyzed for the rest of his life."

    Feng Shenglun asked again: "You confiscated the money from the suspect Zheng?"

    "Five coins, said to be tea money." Kong Yan replied.

    Feng Shenglun and Ding Xukun looked at each other, and they were both incredulous, that the county government officials dared to forge the autopsy report for only five qian.

    Kong Yan said with tears: "Master, I really don't want to embezzle, I just want to repay Mr. Zhao's kindness."

    "Confused, you are trying to harm Mr. Zhao!" Ding Xukun said depressedly.

    Prefect Ding still didn't say a word: You made me miserable too.

    Except for a few officials, who were not present because they went out with the army, the trial of the case has basically been declared over here.

    At noon, I went to open the coffin for an autopsy. The internal organs must have been rotted long ago, but the skeletal scars are easy to verify, and they were indeed caused by blunt instrumental beatings.

    ?In the evening, Feng Shenglun began to pronounce the sentence. The river was densely packed with boats, and the riverside was densely packed with people.

    "boom!"

    Feng Shenglun read the verdict and said:

    "Fei Zheng, formerly known as Zheng Shulan, was born in Ehu Town, Qianshan County, Guangxin Prefecture, Jiangxi Province. His charges include: first, instructing others to beat and kill two people. Second, insulting, beating, and imprisoning him for a long time by himself or instructing others  Good people. Third, to falsely accuse the servant of violating the employment contract. Fourth, to instruct others to bribe officials"

    "Punishment for several crimes. Sentenced to beheading of Fei Zheng and executed after autumn. Sentenced to Fei Zheng's 30-year-old rod and executed immediately. All land under Fei Zheng's name was recovered. The servant Gao Liu was refunded two taels of silver for breach of contract and compensation  Gao Liu's ten taels of silver. Return the servant Gao Feng's liquidated damages of two taels of silver, compensation"

    Mrs. Zheng was paralyzed there, not saying a word.

    "good!"

    &nbs?.

    At the same time, Fei's female family members also have to learn. The first thing a daughter-in-law enters the house is to learn the family rules.

    This incident was both accidental and inevitable.

    It can only happen in Fei's family, not in other families.

    If other gentry families committed crimes, local officials did not dare to cover up the murder.

    Purely because Zhao Han is the son-in-law of the Fei family, local officials still have traditional thinking, thinking that helping to cover up is a sign of loyalty to Zhao Han, and even think that doing so will gain Zhao Han's appreciation.

    When this case spreads, officials at all levels should know what to do when they encounter powerful relatives committing crimes in the future!

    Goose Lake, Fei Zhai.

    The third eldest Fei Yingke sat in the garden, drinking and having fun with his wives and concubines, and sighed: "The four brothers in the family, now I am the only one left. The eldest brother is an official, the second brother is in prison, and the fourth brother has long been a general. Fighting for nothing.  .Hehe, now that no one is fighting with me, I feel very uncomfortable."

    Wives and concubines hurried to comfort.

    Fei Yingke said: "I can't do it. I'm a useless person. Children should be good teachers. Those who haven't gone out to work and haven't married yet will listen to me about the family rules every ten days. This person lives in the world, and he is not afraid of not being able to do something.  , for fear of making a big mistake. You should also keep in mind that from now on, you must be close and harmonious, and don't be as confused as that Zheng."

    "The husband has taught you well," said the wives and concubines.

    Fei Yingke scratched his head and said, "Which of you would know that the second elder brother has something disgraceful? He has been manipulated by Mrs. Zheng for thirty years."

    This guy still wants to eat melons.

    Xiong Fenwei, the governor of Zhejiang, did not dare to return his troops towards Hangzhou because the mountain road was difficult to walk and he was afraid of being ambushed halfway.

    So, this military talker led his troops to hunt down the division that Zhao Han had sent out.

    I have 15,000 soldiers, and if I cooperate with the Chun'an garrison, I will definitely be able to defeat the partial division of the 3,000 Datong Army!

    When leaving Yanzhou City, Xiong Fenwei forcibly recruited another 2,000 civilian husbands.

    After traveling less than ten miles, the whole army was already full of complaints.  These soldiers are actually village braves, they were all recruited from Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Shaoxing. Now that Zhao Han led troops to kill them in their hometown, how could the many village braves not be in a hurry?

    And those 2,000 Yanzhou civilian husbands, most of whom are urban homeless people, are also strongly dissatisfied with Xiong Fenwei.

    The whole army does not want to go to Chun'an County!

    Xiong Fenwei didn't know about this, and seemed to have forgotten the word "military spirit".  He felt that all the soldiers should be happy to avoid Zhao Han's army, so that they don't have to fight tough battles.

    "Fu Shuai, the student has diarrhea, and the stomachache is unbearable." Said the confidant.

    Xiong Fenwei was still sitting in a sedan chair while marching. He let his slaves get off the sedan chair and said: "We have marched for nearly ten miles. The whole army drinks water and rests for a while. Go and come back quickly."

    The confidant and staff member is a master of Shaoxing. He pretended to have diarrhea and ran to squat in the grass in a panic.  Then, he ran away with the burden, so he didn't follow the mentally handicapped governor to die. Those generals were obviously ready to move.

    Xiong Fenwei was sitting on a sedan chair, drinking water, when several generals came over.

    "Fu Jun, I have a report on the military situation." Gan Qinwei said as he walked.

    Xiong Fenwei didn't think much, just said: "What's the military situation, tell me quickly."

    Gan Qinwei said: "The morale of the army is not stable, we must find a way to stabilize it."

    Xiong Fenwei asked: "Then tell me, how to stabilize the morale of the army?"

    "Only one thing is needed, and the morale of the army can be stabilized." Gan Qinwei got closer and closer.

    "What is it?" Xiong Fenwei still didn't realize the danger.

    "The head of Fujun!"

    Gan Qinwei suddenly drew his sword, and several other generals also drew their swords and slashed out together.

    The dignified governor of Zhejiang was hacked to death without even having time to shout.

    All the soldiers in the army wanted to go back to their hometown as soon as possible.  See what's going on at home, maybe Zhao Tianwang is already dividing the land.

    The main force of Zhejiang officers and soldiers killed the governor and surrendered in this way.

    As for those generals, because they took the initiative to fight anyway and restrained the army, they did not plunder on the way back home.  Therefore, they can all avoid death. After the land is divided, half of the family property is confiscated, and they can be released after another half a year of mining.

    When Zhao Han heard the news, he couldn't laugh or cry again.

    Since the beginning of the army, Xiong Fenwei, the governor of Zhejiang, is the funniest local official he has ever seen.

    The governor Xiong Fenwei should be the first to be able to kill Zhejiang so quickly!

    Zhao Han was stationed in Hangzhou and did not set off immediately, but sent three troops.

    Five hundred soldiers took the city of Shaoxing, and then united with the local rebel army to take the entire Shaoxing.

    ?One thousand farmers and soldiers took Yuhang and Lin'an.

    One thousand regular soldiers and one thousand peasant soldiers, as the pioneers, went straight to Chongde.

    By Zhao Han's side, there were only a thousand relatives and a thousand civilians left, and the Eastern Expeditionary Force had been divided into countless groups.

    This kind of tactics of scattered and divided troops simply does not regard Zhejiang officers and soldiers as human beings.

    Let's take Shaoxing as an example. Five hundred soldiers killed them, and the defenders in the city were frightened.  Kong Zhenyun came forward to persuade him to surrender again, and the magistrate and county magistrate immediately gave up resistance.  The descendants of Confucius have all surrendered, and it is not shameful for us to follow suit.

    "I heard that Mr. Punishment is very popular among the common people," Zhao Han asked, "Which other bullies and bullies need to be severely punished in Hangzhou Prefecture?"

    Shi Wancheng said: "There are many tyrants in the Hangzhou government, but the one who caused the people's grievances to boil is undoubtedly the Wu family in Haining. I only killed Wu Zhongyan, but this brother and son are still doing evil."

    "Who is the backer behind him?" Zhao Han asked.

    Shi Wancheng replied: "The backer of the Wu family in Haining is the Cai family in Deqing. The backer of the Cai family in Deqing used to be the chief assistant Wen Tiren, but now it is the chief assistant Xue Guoguan. Cai Yichen of the Deqing Cai family is currently the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Sure enough, the backing is strong."

    "The reason why Wu Zhongyan's case became so big is that it actually involved the dispute between Wen Tiren and Fushe," Shi Wancheng said with a sigh, "I forcibly killed Wu Zhongyan under the pressure of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it happened that Wen Tiren was dismissed from office. Otherwise,  , I will be retaliated by the Wen party, and I will not be an official for a long time. But also because of this, I was regarded by the emperor as the Donglin party.?Zhao Han's clan surrendered and cooperated in dividing the land, so Zhao Han called Wu Yingji alone.

    In the entire Fushe, Wu Yingji belongs to the third leader, and his influence is only below that of Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai.

    "It's feasible to relocate with the same surname," Wu Yingji nodded and said, "There will definitely be a lot of trouble, but if the chaos is in place for a while, it can save a lot of trouble in the future."

    Zhao Han said: "Scholars who participated in the contribution, need to be appeased by the gentleman."

    Wu Yingji cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to serve the general town!"

    When Wu Yingji left, Zhao Han recruited military officials and demanded that more efforts should be made to crack down on the powerful gentry.

    How to increase the intensity?

    Copy a few more!

    Certainly there is no mistake in copying, those powerful gentry can always find out all kinds of crimes.

    As long as the knives are sharp and we intensify our efforts to attack the tyrants, not only will they not force the landlords to rebel, but the landlords in the unoccupied areas will be more enthusiastic to seek refuge.

    ?Because Zhao Han killed all the way and took the initiative to seek refuge with meritorious scholars along the way, Zhao Han would give preferential treatment-only the land would be allocated, the house would not be ransacked, and they would be directly converted into officials.

    With these people as role models and a group of them being severely punished, other landlords should know how to choose.

    The Minister of the Ministry of War of Nanjing was arrested, and the whole city of Nanjing immediately fell into chaos.

    Due to insufficient preparation, the internal response of the Datong Association was caught off guard.

    Their original plan was to wait for Fei Ruhe to bring his troops over.  After capturing the city, the seamless connection, the Datong army can take over the city immediately.

    But who would have thought that Fei Ruhe was still on the way, only six naval warships came, and Nanjing City was captured in a daze?

    "What? Let me take over Nanjing!"

    Fan Chao's mind has been completely confused, Wan Bangyan went to Guangdong to organize the navy, and he was automatically promoted to the third person in the Jiangxi Navy.

    The commander and deputy commander of the navy are still fighting in Dongting Lake, and they sent him to lead six boats to block the river.

    Lao Tzu came to block the river. First, the Nanjing Navy surrendered collectively, and now the entire city of Nanjing surrendered together.

    How many fucking sailors do I have in total?

    The number of surrendered officers and soldiers inside and outside the city is dozens or even hundreds of times that of our troops. How can I control the situation!

    Fan Chao didn't dare to neglect, he found Liu Kongzhao, tried to appease him, and then selected 150 sailors, carrying muskets and waist knives to take over Nanjing City.

    At the gate of the city, there were two rows of officials, including six ministers.

    The Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing was arrested, and Zhen Shu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, had the greatest power.  His foreman stood at the front, fortunately he said that he didn't need to kneel down, otherwise Zhen Shu really didn't want to surrender.

    Anyway, already seventy-one years old, at worst, die for the country!

    The reason why Zhen Shu was willing to surrender was because his hometown was in Huangzhou, and he might be taken down by Zhao Han someday.

    Fan Chao led 150 sailors and watched a group of high officials greet him. He didn't feel complacent, but felt guilty from head to toe.

    His soldiers are too few!

    The surrendering officials looked at Fan Chao and the hundreds of soldiers behind him, all feeling extremely absurd.

    "Stop him!"

    The city tower suddenly became noisy, followed by exclamations.

    An official jumped from the top of the city and died for the country to repay the king's kindness.

    A muffled sound of "bang" startled Fan Chao, and subconsciously pulled out his waist knife.

    Glancing at the corpse, Fan Chao became more vigilant and led his soldiers into the city cautiously.

    "Clang!"

    A military officer suddenly drew his sword and rushed towards Fan Chao.

    Fan Chao also drew his sword, blocked the opponent's moves, and then easily kicked the person down.

    The soldiers behind him immediately subdued the military officer.

    Fan Chao said angrily: "Who the hell is this? If you want to fight, you can fight, if you want to surrender, you can surrender. A sneak attack is considered a hero!"

    "Bah!"

    The military officer spat at Fan Chao: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone gets to punish him!"

    Zhen Shu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, came forward to intercede: "General Haojiao knows that this man is named Lin Yuwu, and his official position is to command the affairs of Nanjing. His elder brother was originally Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty. He was a good official. He was dismissed for pleading for the people.  .His third younger brother is now Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty, and is also a good official. This man is confused, general, don’t want to be as knowledgeable as him.”

    Lin Yuwu was still struggling and swearing, his official hat was thrown off, revealing his gray hair.

    Fan Chao sighed and said, "Forget it, since you are old, I don't care about you, so I will arrest you and lock you up."

    It must be explained again that the nobles and generals in the south of the Yangtze River did not have servants for fighting.

    For a long time in peace, it's just bullying the common people, do you need to be fully armed?

    If the generals in the south of the Yangtze River really had a servant who could fight, they would not have been beaten by dozens of Japanese pirates, traveling thousands of miles, killing through three provinces, and gone away!

    When the Qing army went south, it also swept across the south of the Yangtze River.

    Indeed, there were many anti-Qing righteous men who scattered money to recruit soldiers, defended the city to the death, and the whole city was massacred.

    However, it must be seen that in the vast rural areas, farmers have nothing to lose.  Not only did they not resist the Qing, some even acted as leading parties for the Qing soldiers, and such leading parties were everywhere.

    On the same day that Yan Yingyuan raised his troops against the Qing in Jiangyin, a large number of domestic slaves and tenants in Jiangyin's countryside rushed into Xu Xiake's home, killed more than 20 members of Xu Xiake's clan, and set fire to Xu Xiake's house.

    Isn't it weird?

    In the same area, even on the same day.  Rich people and scholars raised their troops against the Qing Dynasty, while domestic slaves and tenants took the Qing soldiers as their backing and took the opportunity to kill their masters.

    Zhao Han was able to sweep the south of the Yangtze River, one order to release slaves and one order to divide the land were enough.

    No matter how many thugs are kept in the landlord's family, only the slaves and peasants with sticks are left.Chongzhen didn't know who to talk to, after much deliberation, only Wang Tiaoding sent by Zhao thief was left.

    "Your Majesty tuned the tripod and kowtowed to His Majesty!" The king tuned the tripod and prostrated himself on the ground.

    Chongzhen sneered and said: "Your lord has already occupied Jiangnan, do you think about going back to assist?"

    Wang Tiaoding quickly said: "I am the minister of Ming Dynasty, and your majesty is the master of the minister."

    Chongzhen looked up at the top of the hall, and asked leisurely: "Then how does Zhao Han employ people? Why doesn't he have a group of wine bags and rice bags under his command? He forcibly divided the fields in the south and killed so many gentry, why didn't anyone rebel against him?"

    Wang Tiaoding replied: "It's just the people's will."

    "Can you win the hearts of the people by dividing the land and killing people?" Chongzhen asked.

    Wang Tiaoding replied: "If you only lose the heart of one family in dividing the land, you can gain the hearts of thousands of families. The gentry is the people, and the head of Guizhou is also the people. The gentry exploits the people, relying on nothing more than two things. One is the support of the government, and the other is the government.  Raise evil slaves. As long as the land is distributed to the common people, the common people will naturally join the army, kill the evil slaves first, and then go to the government."

    Chongzhen shook his head and said: "I am the emperor, I can't kill people randomly, and I can't divide the land randomly."

    Wang Tiaoding was silent.

    Chongzhen lost his mind and said: "I am not a king of a subjugated country, but all my subordinates are ministers of a subjugated country."

    Wang Tiaoding continued to remain silent.

    Chongzhen sighed and said: "This spring, I have asked the various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River to recruit soldiers. What kind of soldiers are they recruiting? How long has it been since Nanjing is gone. Didn't you say that the Zhao thief would not take Jiangnan?"

    Wang Diaoding replied: "Your Majesty, the Zhao thief did not want to take Jiangnan, but the Zhejiang scholars were forced to turn against them. They joined forces to capture the prefectures and counties. They took the initiative to dedicate the city to the Zhao thief."

    "Scholars rebelled and seized the city and dedicated it to Zhao thief?" Chongzhen asked in surprise.

    "Yes," Wang Tiaoding replied, "Zhejiang has been suffering from catastrophes year after year, and the imperial court's taxes have become heavier. The poor scholars have no means of living, so they rebelled."

    "Hahahaha," Chongzhen smiled sadly, "A scholar of the Ming Dynasty actually rebelled and joined the bandits. I am a very good emperor."

    Wang Tiaoding hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "Zhao thief sent someone to pass the message."

    "Say!" Chongzhen shouted.

    Wang Tiaoding knelt on the ground and said: "Zhao thief spread the word that if the bandits or slaves come to Beijing one day, they can send troops to escort the royal family to the south. Hehe will definitely not treat him badly. He said that he respects Taizu very much."  , willing to protect and take in the descendants of Taizu.”

    Chongzhen sneered: "He is thinking of setting up a new emperor, and then abdicate."

    Wang Diaoding shook his head and said: "He said he would not establish a new emperor, he does not believe in abdication. His Majesty can decide on his own whether he wants to let the royal family go south."

    Chongzhen was silent.

    Taiping Mansion.

    Due to being unable to attack for a long time, Fei Ruhe had already divided his troops.

    One thousand regular soldiers and two thousand peasant soldiers went to take over Nanjing City Defense.

    Three thousand soldiers and many civilians stayed in Taiping Mansion to continue the siege.

    The rest of the soldiers were sent out to occupy the surrounding prefectures and counties.

    "Military Academy, someone sent a letter."

    "Bring it."

    Fei Ruhe knew that it was Xu Ying who sent it, and the overall situation in the south of the Yangtze River was settled, so Xu Ying quietly went to Yangzhou again.

    This letter is very thick, if the piece is counted by weight, there must be an additional courier fee.

    Fei Ruhe took a rough glance, looked to the north, and muttered: "Chongzhen is crazy." Then he ordered, "Come here, send this letter into the city."

    A soldier rushed to the bottom of the city, holding his shield and shouting: "Don't shoot arrows, don't shoot arrows, I'm here to deliver a message!"

    "Shoot to death with random arrows!"

    Zheng Eryang, governor of Anlu, was afraid of some bad news.

    Zheng Yu, the prefect of Taiping, quickly persuaded: "Fu Jun, the two armies are at war, don't kill the envoy, and see what military information he sends."

    Zheng Eryang didn't want to have a conflict with the magistrate, so he asked someone to hang the messenger up.

    The two screened back to the left and right, and entered the tower to read the letter.

    Zheng Eryang only glanced at the first page, then quickly turned to the back.  Turning over and over, suddenly stopped, trembling all over.

    Zheng Yu snatched the letter, confirmed that he read it correctly, and then sat down on the ground.

    This is a pond newspaper from the capital. Several pond newspapers are put together, and they are all lists of convicted officials.

    In the twelfth year of Chongzhen in history, it took half a year for the emperor to start a large-scale liquidation to deal with officials who had failed in their duties when the Manchu Dynasty broke through, including officials who were ineffective in encircling and suppressing bandits.

    Thirty-three eunuchs, civil servants, and generals were killed in one breath, and a lot of them were sent to prison for crimes, and almost everyone was demoted.

    Now the involvement is even wider, forty-seven people were directly killed, and Xiong Wencan was finally put in prison.

    I don't know who went up to impeachment, saying that Taiping Mansion has fallen, and Zheng Eryang and Zheng Yu are all thieves.  Therefore, Chongzhen ordered the arrest of the family members of the two people, the male was exiled into the army, and the female was sent to the Jiaofang Division.

    Zheng Yu burst into tears at the moment: "Your Majesty is confused. Even if you want to ask for a crime, you should send someone to look at it. I have not surrendered, but I am accused of crime by demoting an official. Wouldn't it make the frontline generals feel cold? No one will be willing to serve the country in the future.  !"

    "How to send someone to look? The river is blocked," Zheng Eryang sighed, "Even if we can cross the river smoothly, you and I must be guilty. Hehe, it's just a party dispute."

    Zheng Yu said angrily: "What time is it? The court is still fighting among the parties. A governor, a magistrate, a fortified city, tens of thousands of Jiangbei new troops, are they all bargaining chips for their party struggle?"

    Zheng Eryang was disheartened: "The situation in the DPRK and China is like fire and water, and it is already a situation of endless death."

    Zheng Eryang, military theorist, medical scientist.

    This gentleman is upright and upright. He once abolished King Lu's right to collect rent and conscription, and offended a bunch of eunuchs and gentry.  It was so normal that he was slandered as a thief, even the Donglin Party didn't help to speak up.

    In other words, the Donglin Party was overwhelmed.

    Donglin Party clamored to restore Zhou Yanru as the head and assistant, Xue Guoguan naturally refused to sit still.

    Therefore, Xue Guoguan took advantage of Chongzhen's punishment of officials to instigate his party members to impeach the Donglin Party on a large scale, and Zheng Eryang was one of the unlucky ones.

    Zheng Yu, the magistrate of Taiping, was incidentally framed. Who asked him to defend the city with Zheng Eryang?

    Zheng Yu checked the list of criminal officers again, and found that at least half of the military governors from all over the country were questioned.  Even the eunuchs who supervised the army were chopped off several times. Emperor Chongzhen was really angry this time.

    The most ridiculous thing is that Chongzhen only dared to attack eunuchs and civil officials, as well as those generals who had lost their troops.

    As long as the generals still have an army in their hands, Chongzhen will "small punishments and big commandments".

    ? For example, Zuo Liangyu, fearing the enemy and running away, was only demoted three levels and fined a few months' salary.

    Generals who dare to fight tough battles, they desperately kill the enemy for the country, they may be beheaded by the emperor after the army has finished fighting.  And those generals who fled, because they kept the army, they could keep their official positions and heads.

    Who still wants to fight?

    Zheng Yu looked more and more angry, and suddenly blackened: "Mr. Qian'an, your family and I have been lost. Our children and grandchildren have been exiled into the army, and our wives and daughters have been exiled. I am worthy of the imperial court, and the imperial court is sorry for me. I want to sacrifice the city and surrender to the bandits. Qian'an  Do you still want to be loyal to the faint king?"

    Zheng Eryang seemed to be out of his body, sitting there like a dead person.

    He has served the country all his lifenbsp; Zhao Han was lured to Duke Wei's mansion. The Xu family had more than ten gardens in Nanjing, each of which cost a huge amount of money to build.

    "Wei Guogong's lineage, has everything been dealt with?" Zhao Han asked.

    "The nobles have not dealt with it, and we just wait for the town to make the decision." Fang Shenghong replied.

    The Fang brothers brought their territories to submit to them very early on. The elder brother is now the magistrate in Guangdong, and the younger brother was directly sent to Nanjing to preside over the work.

    Zhao Han said: "Those nobles, if they are all killed, they will not be wronged. There is no need to waste time for retrial. All the men are sent to mines, the women are ordered to remarry, and the children are broken up and sent to various nursing homes."

    "Yes!" Fang Shenghong replied.

    Zhao Han said again: "Call all the scholars of Datong Society."

    These members of the Datong Society are equivalent to the underground party, and Zhao Han will personally meet them wherever he goes.

    "Meet the general town!" More than 30 people came in at once.

    Zhao Han got up and returned the salute: "Everyone has worked hard. If you want to be an official, you can start as the mayor of the town, or you can continue to go to the north. You don't have to answer in a hurry. I will give you half a month to consider."

    Everyone sat down happily, and most of them wanted to be the mayor.

    With the status of Datong scholars as a background, as long as they don't make mistakes in the future, their promotion speed will be very fast.

    Zhao Han suddenly looked at Li Xiangjun, and said with a smile, "There is another lady."

    Li Xiangjun hurriedly stood up: "PresidentPresident Town, I am the one who begs all brothers, and begs them to bring me in to have a look."

    "Don't be nervous, I won't punish you," Zhao Han asked with a smile, "What's your name?"

    Li Xiangjun replied: "My real name is Wu Xiang, but now I change my name to Li Xiangjun."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Main body 315 [A large area of ??farmland in the south of the Yangtze River is abandoned]

    ,

    Nanjing, Qinhuai Flower Street.

    Zhu Yuanzhang built Fuleyuan here, and captured the wives and daughters of enemies or criminal officials into Fuleyuan to be official prostitutes.

    It is exclusively for wealthy businessmen and big businessmen to get money, and officials are forbidden to enter.

    In Fuleyuan, men must wear green headscarves, red waistbands and fur boots.  Women wear black hats and black regular scripts, but no fancy clothes.  When they walk, they should only walk on the two sides of the street, not in the middle of the street.

    Fuleyuan was relocated to the vicinity of Wuding Bridge. From this center, various Qinlou and Chu Pavilions began to appear, and finally evolved into an entertainment street.

    That is, Qinhuai Flower Street.

    The funniest thing is Huiguang Temple, this temple was built from the leftover materials of Dabaoen Temple.  In the Wanli period, it was surrounded by many brothels, and the willpower of the monks was tested all day long. In desperation, the temple had to be moved to another place.

    Li Xiangjun returned to Huajie, where she lived for many years.

    This time, Li Xiangjun was accompanied by a team of officials.

    "Sister, are you calling along the street?" Li Xiangjun asked.

    Li Wanchun smiled and said: "You don't have to keep shouting, you have to take turns shouting, otherwise your voice will be hoarse in just one day."

    Two-thirds of the 108 female generals in "The Record of Female Generals of Datong" are already married.  After getting married, most of them choose to take care of their husbands and raise their children, and those who are unable to have children adopt children, and very few even acquiesce in their husbands taking concubines.

    Li Wanchun is one of the few unmarried people, and she is almost thirty years old, because her vision is relatively high.

    If you can't get high, you can't get low, and it has been delayed until now.

    "Thenthen I will call." Li Xiangjun said.

    Li Wanchun smiled and said, "Call it."

    When the officials went to post notices along the street, Li Xiangjun picked up the tin trumpet and shouted: "Sisters and brothers in Qinhuai Flower Street, the world is one, the good and the low are equal. If you want to be good, don't be afraid of the madam to stop you. If you want to stop, you can report to the official immediately  "

    It was the morning at this time, and many brothels hadn't opened yet.

    When Li Xiangjun's voice came out, many windows opened in an instant, and then the door was opened again, and more than 20 men and women rushed out one after another.

    Not only prostitutes, but also Guigong teapots.

    A man stood by the side of the street, lit a green turban with a candle, took off his red waistband, and walked quickly to Li Xiangjun: "Sisters, I have come. I have heard that Zhao Tianwang has a good government, and I have been thinking about how to be good these days."  Woolen cloth."

    Li Wanchun smiled and said: "You can first go to the county government to settle down. If the household registration is settled, you are a good man. Even if you stay in the brothel, you are still a good man. There are no untouchables under Mr. Zhao's rule."

    "It's really good," the man said with a smile, "I don't know how to make a living after becoming a Confucianist. I can write and count, but I don't understand the Four Books and Five Classics."

    Li Wanchun said: "Since I can write and count, I will apply for the police officer exam, maybe I can be a police officer at the police station."

    There are government offices and county offices in Nanjing City. These officials have long been rotten. They belong to hooligans with official status, and many of them will be thrown to mine.

    Public security, fire protection, sanitation and other work are all in charge of the Wucheng Bingma Division.  But this institution is also rotten. In the bustling and prosperous city of Nanjing, many streets are dirty and messy, and the neighbors clean them up entirely.

    The first thing Zhao Han has to do is to free the slaves and eliminate the distinction between good and bad.  Then recruit local humble people as servants to improve public security and sanitation in the city.

    Li Xiangjun continued to promote along the street, and when he reached a certain place, Kou Baimen suddenly opened the door and ran out.

    "Can generations of prostitutes be good?" Kou Baimen asked anxiously.

    Li Xiangjun smiled and said: "Under Mr. Zhao's rule, there is no distinction between good and bad."

    Kou Baimen immediately turned around and shouted at the brothel: "Father, mother, come out quickly, and you can live a decent life from now on!"

    The mother is the real mother, and the father may be the real father.

    Kou Baimen was worse than Li Xiangjun. Li Xiangjun was born in a military officer's family, while Kou Baimen was a prostitute for generations.

    Her father is a musician, her mother is a prostitute, and her household registration is registered at the Jiaofang Division. The work in the brothel is an outsourcing business, and she also accepts door-to-door service orders from large customers.

    Kou Baimen is fifteen years old this year, and her job is to work as a maid for prostitutes. She should be listed for business in a year.

    Not long after, Kou Baimen's parents came out together.

    Li Wanru asked about the situation, and said: "You just need to go to the county government to settle down, and you will be a good man if you have a household registration. If you want to continue to operate, you can apply for a license for singing houses and dance pavilions"

    "No need!" Kou's father said quickly, "I can continue to be a musician to support the family, and my wife and daughter have to earn a living."

    "As you like." Li Wanru said.

    Nanjing'snbsp; Zhao Han was stunned upon hearing this, then shook his head and smiled wryly.

    That is the farmer's own field, and the self-cultivator is not a proper farmer. He voluntarily abandons the land and flees to other places to become refugees or vagrants.  It is conceivable that the taxes are heavy!

    ?Not only is the tax collected by the imperial court too heavy, but the big households will also spread cunningly, making these self-cultivating farmers have to pay taxes many times.  Moreover, the land they can get is not a good field, even if they only pay taxes, it is enough.

    What's more, the tax-free period set by the government can almost turn barren fields into mature fields.  At such times, there will be tyrants who come out to seize the fields, and after taking the fields, let these self-cultivating farmers continue to serve as servants, and the self-cultivating farmers will definitely run away.

    In addition, the wasteland refugees are foreigners and are often bullied by the locals, which is also one of the reasons why they ran away after planting a few days.

    Local officials continued to introduce new policies in an attempt to retain owner farmers and crack down on gentry tyrants.  But they are all effective at the beginning, and after a few years or more than ten years, loopholes are exploited.

    This broken place in the south of the Yangtze River is very strange. On the one hand, there are many people and little land, and on the other hand, a lot of land is abandoned.

    The big families are also very interesting, but in times of disaster, half of the land they planted is directly abandoned, and the remaining half is intensively cultivated.

    What is self-grown land?

    It means not renting to tenants, but letting hired labor to farm. This kind of hired labor is actually a domestic slave, who only pays a small salary for taking care of the food every month.  Sometimes also called "hired slaves".

    Abandon half of the land and cultivate half. This farming method has been written into the family precepts and family regulations by many wealthy families, and it is regarded as a classic operation like a family secret.

    Wu Yingji said: "There are still many barren fields in the south of the Yangtze River, which belong to salt bittern land. In fact, some salt bittern land has been gradually improved with the support of good officials. But if you change to a mediocre official, it will be abandoned immediately, because the mediocre official does not reduce the land tax."

    "The general town should collect land taxes as appropriate, build a large number of water conservancy projects, and encourage the people to reclaim wasteland and cultivate crops. In this way, there is actually not much shortage of land in the south of the Yangtze River."

    Zhao Han paid more and more attention to Wu Yingji, nodded and said: "You write down all your ideas, and I will hand over to officials at all levels to govern as appropriate. ?

 Main body 316 [His treacherous minister, my capable minister] (addition for Shangxian Qitian boss)

    Nanjing, Daqiao South City.

    Two officials came to post the notice, and hundreds of thousands of people crowded to watch.

    "How did you say it? How did you say it?"

    "What kind of regulations are the quick thoughts that you can see in front of you?"

    "Is there any tax cut!"

    ""

    After the official posted the notice, one of them turned around and shouted: "Silence, silence, I'll read it From the beginning of August, all shops in and out of the city should go to the industrial and commercial office of the county government to apply for a business license. Before the first day of October,  No tax is levied on shops or businesses in the whole city. Since the beginning of October, taxes have been reduced for all businesses, and those who do not have a business license will be fined heavily!"

    "Long live Zhao Zongzhen!" The merchants shouted in unison.

    The key word they heard was "tax reduction". Nanjing's industrial and commercial tax is extremely heavy, and it has only increased since the founding of the country.

    Even if the new emperor came to the throne and ordered a temporary tax cut for the whole country, he would add an additional sentence: "North and South Beijing are not the case."

    The official errand shouted again: "From now on, the errand office, recruitment, and corvée will be cancelled. The government's city surveys will be inspected randomly from time to time, and the interval between city surveys should be at least one month!"

    As soon as this remark came out, all the merchants were stunned, and then they all knelt down towards the notice.

    There were people who shouted everything, some asked the Bodhisattva to bless Zhao Han with a long life, some simply called Zhao Han a living Bodhisattva, and some cried and kowtowed to the notice.

    Errands, recruiting, corvee These contents are equivalent to the government's robbing in the open, which can drive merchants to bankruptcy.

    ? Market survey, once every three days.

    The original intention is good, survey prices, survey commercial tools such as scales, rulers, buckets, etc., to prevent merchants from cheating and driving up prices.  But the implementation is pure nonsense, which is equivalent to every three days, the industrial and commercial law enforcement officers will come to extort money.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Today, the sales of firecrackers in Nanjing City are extremely good, and the firecrackers are sold out immediately, and all the merchants are cheering and celebrating.

    Merchants are very clear that no one in the whole world can give such preferential treatment except Zhao Han.

    In Zhao Han's eyes, it is only natural not to exploit merchants indiscriminately.  But in the eyes of the merchants, this is unprecedented good governance, and Zhao Han is his own person who speaks for the merchants.

    Merchants flocked to the county government to apply for business licenses, anyway, they had to register before.

    The industry, population, and business status must be written clearly. According to the industry, location, store size, and revenue, it is compiled into nine categories of three grades, and different taxes are levied for each grade.

    Many of the ancient city merchants were integrated with industry and commerce.

    That is, the front shop and the back square.  The front is the store, responsible for sales; the backyard is the workshop, responsible for manufacturing.

    The world's wealth comes from Jiangnan, and Jinling is its meeting place. Nanjing is the commercial center of the entire Jiangnan area.

    Until the reign of Chongzhen, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the inner city alone.  There are more than 9,000 households of outer city residents registered with the government, and these are permanent residents with registered permanent residence.  In addition, there are many people living outside the city attached to the city.

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the total population of Nanjing must have exceeded one million!

    There are more than one hundred types of merchants.  There are dozens of merchants of each kind, and hundreds of merchants at most.

    There are more than 500 pawnshops alone, and Anhui merchants are the most powerful pawnshops, followed by Fujian merchants.

    There are also large and small restaurants, with six to seven hundred seats; and large and small tea houses, with more than one thousand places.

    ? Nanjing is dominated by the service industry, followed by freight.

    Hou Fangyu walked through the streets, listening to the cheers of merchants everywhere, sighed and walked towards the teahouse he frequented.

    On the way, another official came to post a notice, and after a while, there were even more terrifying cheers.

    This time, the whole city cheers!

    Reform the Fangxiang system and cancel the Fangchang and Xiangchang.

    Cancel the fire armor system.

    No matter where the household registration is, except for staying in hotels, the rest must apply for household registration or temporary household registration.

    Hou Fangyu stared at the notice for a while, then sighed, "Nanjing is settled!"

    After the two notices were posted, merchants and private households have since become Zhao Han's diehard loyalists.  Even if the imperial army counterattacked and Zhao Han was temporarily short of soldiers, all the people in the city would spontaneously help defend the city.

    The Fangxiang system, ignoring the differences, can be regarded as the Lijia system of the city.

    There are squares in the city and chambers outside the city, and the chiefs of the squares and chambers have to collect taxes.  By the end of the Ming Dynasty, the head of the square and the head of the chamber had all become local snakes, not only exploiting the people, but also raising domestic slaves and thugs.

    What is even more abnormal is that, inside and outside Nanjing, the local population is very small, and the foreign population is several times more.

    There are few local people, so you have to pay taxes.

    There are many people from other places, and they do not pay taxes.

    &?In Nanjing, I was terrified by Fushe all day long.

    Rather than dawdling around all day, it is better to work hard.

    He admits that he is a villain, but as long as the emperor is happy, he can become a gentleman at any time, because he used to be a gentleman.  He can also become a minister at any time, because he was a minister before.

    It's so simple, it's just going back to the old business.

    The next day, Ma Shiying asked to see him, but Zhao Han did not refuse to summon him.

    "You want to be a small official, and a small official in the town?" Zhao Han smiled strangely.

    Ma Shiying said awe-inspiringly: "Many of the good governance of the general town in Nanjing, I can see it in my eyes. In this era of great revolution, and I meet a wise master, although I have little talent and learning, I am eager to join in it. I am concerned about Jiangxi's politics.  I don’t know much about it, so I want to start as a township official, please give me permission from the head of the town!”

    "It's rare for you to have such a heart," Zhao Han praised, "Go to Chunhua Town to help divide the land."

    "Thank you, Chief Township, I will definitely work hard to divide the land in Chunhua Town properly." Ma Shiying bowed out.

    Chunhua Town is located in Jiangning County, not far from Nanjing, where there are many noble lands.

    It's not difficult, all the nobles are finished, it's just a springboard for promotion.

    Since Ma Shiying is sensible, Zhao Han doesn't mind giving it a chance, and he can even set it up as a model: the treacherous minister of the Chongzhen Dynasty is actually a capable minister under me!

    (Thanks to Big Brother Penguin, the Silver League of Shangxian Qitian, and thanks to the Beatles, I am the black brother of the Republic, and the leader of Ziyi Zi for the reward.)

    (I have agreed on the fourth update, and I will not break my promise. The update may be very late, so don't wait.)

 Text 318 [King title, country title]

    "General Town, these are letters of advice to enter the country, and somehow they were sent to the Chief Secretary."

    Liu Anfeng, the Zuo Buzheng envoy in the south of the Yangtze River, personally sent a bunch of letters of persuasion.

    ?Not only were written by officials from the southern provinces, but there were also a large number of letters from Nanjing Fushe scholars.  He didn't directly persuade Jin to ascend the throne, but instead asked Zhao Han to establish himself as king, and even said that his name was not right.

    Zhao Han casually opened and read a few letters, the content was almost the same, and he felt that if he captured Nanjing, he would be king.

    For Zhao Han, it doesn't matter if he becomes king sooner or later, but he must take into account the thoughts of the officials and soldiers under his rule.  There were too many people who wrote persuasive letters, Liu Anfeng received quite a few, and Zhao Han himself received dozens of them.

    The main question now is, what is the title of the king?

    Zhao Han called his secretarial team, Huang Zongxi had already returned, and brought his fellow villager Zhu Shunshui.

    In addition, there is Wang Fuzhi from Hunan.

    The three brothers Wang Jiezhi, Wang Canzhi, and Wang Fuzhi, as outstanding scholars from Hunan, were sent here by warships from the Jiangxi Navy.

    In addition to them, there are Kuang Pengsheng, Guo Fengxuan, Xia Rubi, Guan Siqiu and others.

    Zhao Han felt a little regretful after having tested the teacher himself.

    At this time, Wang Fuzhi did not have any profound thoughts, but was quite talented in Hunan.

    However, it is already very powerful. A scholar from a well-to-do family, but the father-in-law is the richest man in Hengyang, how can he not have some real talents and learning?

    These Hunan scholars were all thrown to the south of the Yangtze River to help divide the land, and only Wang Fuzhi stayed as a secretary.

    Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu, and Wang Fuzhi, the three great thinkers in the late Ming Dynasty, have all been recruited to Zhao Han's command.

    "Many people persuade Jin to become king. What should I use for this 'king title'? Speak casually, don't be afraid of making mistakes, just refer to your opinions." Zhao Han laughed.

    Tao Aizhi cupped his hands and said: "The general town started from Luling in Ji'an. This place was called Jizhou in ancient times, and it can be called the 'King of Ji'."

    Zheng Sen immediately objected: "If the country is established in the future, is the name of the country called 'Daji'?"

    "It's better to be called 'Gan Wang'." Li Yu said.

    Zheng Sen went back again: "Does the country name 'Dagan' sound nice?"

    Li Yu said unhappily: "This is not good, and that is not good, you come and get one!"

    Zheng Sen was blinded immediately.

    Huang Zongxi said: "Since the general town has seized Jiangzuo, it can set its capital in Nanjing and call it 'King of Wu'. As for the name of the country, we can discuss it in the future. Ming Taizu also called it King of Wu first, and then changed the name of the country to Daming."

    "Where's brother Chu Yu?" Zhao Han looked at Zhu Shunshui.

    Zhu Shunshui is an old friend of Zhao Han, and the two have a very good relationship in Qianshan Hanzhu Academy.

    Over the years, Zhu Shunshui was completely disappointed with Daming, and rejected Chongzhen's recruitment twice.  Now Zhao Han occupied Zhejiang and sent Huang Zongxi to invite him. Zhu Shunshui immediately ran to Nanjing to join him.

    Zhu Shunshui asked: "Zongzhen seems to have said that he is a northerner?"

    Zhao Han replied: "Beizhi, Bazhou."

    Zheng Sen really wanted to say, it would be better to call him "Overlord", but he held back after all.

    Zhu Shunshui said: "Bazhou was the land of Yan in ancient times, and it can be called the 'King of Yan'."

    These are just references, let me tell you the practice of calling the king and the emperor, as for which one to choose, it is still up to Zhao Han to decide.

    From the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, this rule was followed, and there was only one word for the title of the country and the title of the king.

    After the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, they had to break the rules.  Because their land of Longxing has no ancient name, and they did not hold important positions under the rule of the Song and Jin Dynasties, so the country name can only be temporarily made up by themselves.

    So in Chinese history, the first two-character national title appeared: Dayuan.

    Taken from the "Book of Changes": "The great Qianyuan, the beginning of all things, is the unification of the sky."

    Great Yuan, Great Ming, and Great Qing are all two-character country titles.

    Song is Song, a single character.

    Daming is Daming, double character.

    The Ming Dynasty is just an abbreviation, the full name should be called the Ming Dynasty, and the official name is the Ming Dynasty.

    Wang Fuzhi suddenly said: "In the future, when the country is established, the name of the country can be 'Dahe'."

    Zhao Han finally couldn't hold back any longer. The national title of "Yamato" made his expression extremely exciting.

    Wang Fuzhi explained: "Great Qian Yuan, the beginning of all things, is the rule of heaven. This is the origin of the Great Yuan. From the beginning of the Great Ming Dynasty, six people were formed at the time, and they rode six dragons to control the sky. This is the origin of the Great Ming. It is beneficial to protect the great harmony.  Zhen. The first out of common things, all nations Xianning. Find the old example of the two dynasties, and the new dynasty can be a 'great harmony'."

    These three sentences all come from "The Book of Changes · Biography".

    If the name of the country is Dahe, it will be in the same line as Dayuan and Ming Dynasty.

    & nHu Dinggui led the expedition of one thousand soldiers to Jeju Island.

    The last time Fei Ruhe built the East Academy Army, Hu Dinggui was transferred here, and he got a promotion and salary increase along the way.  This kid is also married, his wife is a famous prostitute, Pan Saisai, whom Datong writer Wu Bing never forgets.

    Hu Dinggui has been proficient in water since he was a child. After joining the army, he often took a boat. However

    "Ouch!"

    Stomach churned up and down, and I vomited in a mess.

    Hu Dinggui's legs were weak and he said: "Why is this sea boat different when sitting?"

    Zheng Sen said with a smile: "The sea is rough, so it's different from the river. It will take two days to get used to it."

    By the end of Chongzhen, both North Korea and Japan were in a closed state, and the two countries had different routes from each other.

    But they all open their ports to Chinese private maritime merchants.

    The trade between China and North Korea is mainly the Shandong-North Korea route.

    The Sino-Japanese trade is mainly the Fujian-Japan route.

    Europeans are not allowed to do business, especially after Japan locked down the country, all the churches of the Portuguese and the Dutch were demolished.

    North Korea is more interesting. The king has a "foreign legion", which looks like a few hundred people.  The commander is a naturalized white man, and the soldiers are Liaodong Han people and Japanese ronin. This is a fucking firearms unit.

    Hu Dinggui recovered from vomiting for two days, and arrived at the North Korean port in a few days.

    ? This fleet of unknown origins scared the North Koreans enough, because Zheng Zhilong seldom does China-North Korea trade.

 Body 319【Deposed Lord of North Korea】

    The sails meet the scorching sun, and the fleet cuts through the waves.

    Hu Dinggui took out the binoculars and saw that there was a big island connected to the land in the distance, so he asked, "Is that the Phi Island where Gudongjiang Town is located?"

    A merchant smiled and explained: "General, Phi Island is still further north."

    "How is Phi Island now?" Hu Dinggui asked again.

    The merchant replied: "There are only a few places in Phi Island that can grow food, and they can't support too many people. After the Dan slaves captured Phi Island, they sent troops to garrison for a while, but they gave up soon. North Korea took the opportunity to take Phi Island back."

    The merchant's surname is Meng, and his name is Meng Huaien.

    This fellow sold cotton from Shandong to Zhenjiang. Due to the Caobing uprising in the north, Meng Huai'en was temporarily unable to return to his hometown, so he was hired by Hu Dinggui as a translator and guide.

    "Did you often go to Phi Island?" Hu Dinggui asked.

    Meng Huai'en explained: "When Mao was in town, Phi Island was full of business travelers. Ming merchants brought silk, blue cloth, and North Korean merchants brought ginseng, leather goods, and rice grains. After the two parties traded on Phi Island, North Korean merchants shipped goods  Go to Zhongjiang, and the Tartars will buy Ming goods from North Korea."

    "What about now?" Hu Dinggui asked again.

    Meng Huai'en said: "I can't do business now. Since the lord of North Korea surrendered the Tartars, North Korea has been capricious and often intercepted and killed merchants from the Ming Dynasty. I used to come to Phi Island for trade, but now I can only make a living in China.  , I’m afraid we won’t be able to do domestic business in the future.”

    Just as the two were talking, thick smoke billowed up from Jianghua Island in the distance as a warning.

    The Zheng family's fleet sailed for a while, and the North Korean Navy came from behind Jianghua Island.

    The Zheng family fleet has six warships and ten armed merchant ships.

    The Korean Navy has a total of more than 30 warships, most of which are turtle boats and plank boats.

    Turtle Ship let a small boat over and shouted in Korean: "Which country's fleet is it?"

    Meng Huai'en replied: "Daming Zhao Tianwang!"

    "The Daming Fleet is not allowed to come to North Korea for business!" The North Korean kept making small movements, pointing to the south with his hand on his chest, probably wanting the Chinese fleet to trade further south.

    They didn't dare to offend Man Qing, but wanted to do business with Ming, so they smuggled them quietly in the southern port of Hanyang.

    Meng Huai'en understood, and turned around to explain to Zheng Sen, Hong Xu, and Hu Dinggui.

    As the leader of the fleet, Hong Xu said with a sneer: "These Koreans really have no eggs, and they dare not buy or sell goods in their own capital."

    The Zheng family fleet turned its sails and turned around, and the North Korean navy immediately followed up.

    A little farther away from Jianghua Island, the small boat rowed over and was hoisted onto the battleship by ropes.

    The North Korean envoy said: "Brothers from the Tang Dynasty, let's go to Dafu Island, and I will guide you. Please also fire a few cannons into the sea to make the sound of naval battles, all for Jinnu to see."

    Hong Xu laughed dumbfounded, and ordered: "Fire a few shots at the sea!"

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

    The Zheng family fleet fired indiscriminately, and the North Korean navy followed suit. The shells fell on the sea and splashed a lot of water.

    Before reaching Dafu Island, the North Korean asked to turn around and drove to an estuary on the bank.

    At the same time, he asked the Zheng family what commodities they had brought, asked for a detailed list, and took a boat to the shore to contact merchants.

    The next morning, countless offshore fishing boats came to buy the goods brought by the Zheng family.

    Some merchants didn't have enough money, so they simply bartered, mostly ginseng and leather goods, and asked the Zheng family if they needed grain and copper ingots.

    Hu Dinggui said to Hong Xu: "General Hong, as much grain and copper ingots as you want, you can purchase them when you transport them to the Jiangnan government."

    Immediately, someone asked about medicinal materials, especially fragrant medicines, which are not produced in North Korea.

    After tossing for half a month, the goods transported were emptied, and food and fresh water were replenished, and then they were fully loaded with North Korean goods and headed south.

    These North Korean sailors seem pitiful, and they dare not even engage in serious trade.

    In fact, it is very hateful. If the Zheng family's fleet is not strong enough, it will be robbed by the North Korean navy.

    Before leaving, Hu Dinggui specifically inquired about the news: "I heard that Jeju Island can buy horses?"

    The merchant replied: "The horses and cattle in Jeju Island are all tributes. Jeju shepherds have no right to sell them, and must obtain the permission of the king."

    The tribute is not a tribute to the Ming Dynasty, nor is it a tribute to the Qing Dynasty, but Jeju Island is a tribute to the King of Korea.

    It was a place where prisoners were exiled, and the former king of North Korea was now raising horses on Jeju Island.

    Hu Dinggui asked again: "How many cattle and horses can Jeju Island pay tribute every year?"

    ? North Korean merchants replied: "The annual tribute horse 2"Who is it?"  "Li Hun was even more confused.

    Meng Huaien said: "Zhao Tianwang has already occupied half of the Ming Dynasty."

    Daming rebels?

    Li Hui suddenly trembled with fear, puffed his knees and said, "Meet the general!"

    Hu Dinggui said: "Tell this person that he wants to go back to be the king of the country, and he will be obedient. I just want Jeju Island to raise horses, and I don't care who is the king of North Korea."

    Meng Huai'en translated: "His Royal Highness, General Hu said that he wants Jeju Island as a land for raising horses. If the Lord can appease the army and herdsmen on the island, he will help the Lord return to the country when Zhao Tianwang wins the Great Ming Dynasty."

    "Thank you, General," Li Hui said ecstatically, kneeling on the ground, "Can the General lead the troops to Jianghua Island to save the son?"

    Li Hun is sixty years old, and has been exiled and under house arrest for many years. His physical condition has always been poor. He wants to bring his son over as a puppet.

    Hu Dinggui said ambiguously: "As long as you do things for me with all your heart, I will consider saving the son of the king of North Korea."

    Li Hui was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and kowtowed to Hu Dinggui on the spot.

    This old man didn't have a good opinion of Daming. When he was established as the heir, Wanli was considering abolishing the elders and establishing the younger ones, and somehow got involved in the battle of Daming's crown prince.

    Just because Li Hui is not the eldest son.

    North Korea asked Daming for the establishment of an eldest son three times in a row, but was rejected by the civil officials of Ming Dynasty, and insisted that North Korea establish an eldest son.

    ?From the son of Joseon to the king of Joseon, within 14 years, Daming refused the canonization five times, and finally the Ministry of Rites paid a lot of money to get permission.  This is unprecedented for North Korea; it is a great shame and humiliation for Li Hui.

    Li Hui was afraid that Daming would change his mind, so he could only imprison his queen mother and slaughter his brothers, so that he could be king with peace of mind.

    Daming deserved it for its subjugation, this Zhao Tianwang is not bad.

    Li Hui hoped that Zhao Tianwang would quickly aspire to the Central Plains, and then send troops to escort him to Hanyang to become king

    ?

 Body 320 [Charge and Surrender]

    "General, I found it." Meng Huai'en came with a thick booklet in his arms.

    Hu Dinggui said happily: "Sir, you have worked hard and done a lot, please sit down."

    Meng Huaien presented the brochure, and Hu Dinggui handed it to the people around him.

    The person next to him is Wang Yaochen, a mission officer in the army, who is equivalent to the political commissar arranged for Hu Dinggui.

    "It's actually Chinese characters?" Wang Yaochen was a little surprised when he got the brochure.

    Meng Huaien said: "The official documents and registers of the North Korean government are all written in Chinese characters."

    This is the general household registration book of the entire Jeju Island. There are several types of household registration, including military households, civilian households, artisan households, and so on.

    Wang Yaochen said with a smile: "There are quite a lot of people. There are 8,849 households, totaling nearly 50,000 people. Among them, there are 2,500 military households, similar to the Weisuo system in the Ming Dynasty, but there are very few people who grow grain. Most of them live by herding cattle and horses."  .”

    The territory of Jeju Island is really not small, about one nineteenth of the area of ??Hainan Island.

    Li Hun, the deposed ruler of North Korea, was called to discuss matters together.

    Li Hui is a very complicated king, maybe violent, but definitely not stupid.

    When Japan invaded North Korea, the king of North Korea chose to run away and threw his second son Li Hui out to fight against Japan.

    Seventeen-year-old Li Hun, although he was kicked out of the shelves, his performance was notable.  He was ordered to act as an agent of state affairs, and personally went to the front to appease the army, gathered the army and volunteers, and notified the army of the whole country to King Qin, and only then did Korea have the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese War.

    The reason why this product was abolished was purely caused by party struggle.

    In order to facilitate understanding, let's make a very inappropriate analogy.  It's as if Chongzhen, who was still just a prince, led troops into the palace with the Donglin Party and overthrew Emperor Tianqi and the Eunuch Party.

    "General, there are many criminals exiled on Jeju Island, and they have long been dissatisfied with the puppet king of North Korea," Li Hui said, "As long as Xiao Wang stands up, the people will surely respond."

    "Okay, let's do that!" Hu Dinggui laughed.

    Li Hui is very well controlled, his eyes are almost completely blind, and he can only vaguely see things at close range.  It was because he couldn't see that he got the situation wrong before, until he heard Hu Dinggui's words, Fang felt that it was not the King Qin's army from North Korea.

    After discussing with Wang Yaochen, Hu Dinggui and Wang Yaochen found silk clothes to put on Li Hui, at least to look like a king.

    More than a dozen captured North Korean officials were brought here to meet them.

    "Bastard, you don't show your allegiance to the North Korean leader!" Meng Huai'en yelled in Korean.

    These officials were afraid of being killed, so they quickly kowtowed to Li Hui: "Kowtow to His Royal Highness!"

    After asking for information, these more than a dozen North Korean officials were all sealed up to make a wish.  Two of them were awarded Dajing County Supervisor and Jingyi County Supervisor, which are equivalent to the two county magistrates on Jeju Island.

    As for Hu Dinggui, he was named Jeju Shepherd, and he was in charge of the highest military affairs of Jeju Island.

    Immediately, these North Korean officials, escorted by Datong soldiers, went to the surrounding civilian settlements to preach the policy: as long as they are loyal to the lord Li Hui, all tribute taxes will be reduced by 10%.

    Hearing of Li Hui's "return", many exiles in recent years have come to see their allegiance, and they want to follow and return to their homeland.

    In addition to the three major cities on the island (Jeju Mucheng, Dajing County, and Jingyi County), there are twelve settlements, which can be understood as some villages.

    Li Hengzhong rode straight to Dajing County, ordered the county supervisor to immediately summon the army, and at the same time sent an order to gather troops to Jingyi County.

    In a few days, more than 3,000 cavalry and more than 5,000 infantry were mobilized.

    The 9,000 army counterattacked, and the cavalry accounted for about 40%.

    "General, the pseudo-shepherd envoy is here!" North Korean officials panicked and came to report.

    Hu Dinggui and Wang Yaochen immediately gathered their troops and led the North Korean servants to occupy the city to meet them.

    At this time, the enemy's strength increased again. After returning to Li Hui, two or three nearby villages saw Li Heng's strong army, so they immediately turned and defected.

    Although Li Hui was blind and couldn't see, he could still hear the momentum of the cavalry, and said in a panic: "The general has warships, why don't we avoid them first, and wait until more troops are summoned before returning to this island!"

    "Shut up!"

    Hu Dinggui looked at the thousands of enemy troops in the distance, and sighed: "It's a pity that there are so many war horses."

    Fighting is sure to win. The North Korean army only has a small amount of leather armor, bows and arrows, most of which are no different from ordinary farmers and herdsmen.

    ?It sounds like there are thousands of cavalry, but in fact most of them are herders on horseback.

    "Siege!" Li Heng shouted loudly.

    More than 5,000 Jeju Island infantry, carrying all kinds of weapons, rushed towards Jeju Pastoral City.

    ?Wang Yaochen reminded: "Let the North Korean soldiers retreat, or something bad will happen!"

    &nCome.  The musketeers were transferred to other places, and the pikemen came to prevent accidents!  "Hu Dinggui ordered immediately.

    These North Korean infantry rushed outside the wooden fence, and Hu Dinggui immediately ordered: "Pikeman, raise your gun!" He then shouted at the enemy, "Squat down, don't move!"

    The North Korean infantry tried to climb over the wooden wall, but the pikemen immediately stabbed and killed more than 20 people in a row.

    Liu Ze was so frightened that he squatted down and shouted: "Squat down, everyone squat down, don't rush around!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Somewhere nearby, guns were fired again, a large number of North Korean infantry collapsed, and Liu Ze knelt down and begged for mercy.

    Jin Guorui, the supervisor of Dajing County, came to Li Hengzhong on horseback: "Master Shepherd, you can't fight like this anymore. It is impossible to take back the city."

    Li Hengzhong said: "It will definitely be possible to charge and kill a few more times. It doesn't matter if all these untouchables are dead, just ask the lord to exile prisoners to make up for it. Our navy has lost, and we can't let the enemy gain a firm foothold.  Take the city!"

    "I can't take it!" Jin Guorui advised.

    "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will kill you," Li Hengzhong ordered, "Rush again, and those who rush into the city first will be exempted from tribute for six years!"

    This time only 4,000 people were left to charge. Seeing this, Liu Ze brought the people around him with him: "Drop your weapons and surrender outside the city wall!"

    "Drop your weapons and surrender outside the city walls!"

    Amidst the constant shouts, several groups of assault troops nearby threw away their weapons and rushed over, then squatted outside the wooden fence and begged for mercy.

    Just like a virus spread, all four thousand North Korean infantry surrendered one after another.

    Li Heng was furious: "These bastards are indeed descendants of criminals, and none of them are loyal to the lord!"

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 321 [Betrayal]

    The enemy's firepower is fierce, and Jeju Pastoral City will definitely not be able to take it back.

    Li Hengzhong could only order the withdrawal of troops, hoping to lure the enemy out and rely on cavalry to win in field battles.

    Just as the entire team was withdrawing, someone suddenly shouted: "Kill the factory supervisor!"

    I saw many ragged cavalrymen (actually herdsmen), who seemed to have made an appointment in private long ago, launched a rebellion by surprise, and killed those cavalry generals who were wearing good clothes.

    The herdsmen hated officials, and they were frequently exploited.

    This is an island where criminals are exiled, how can officials be sympathetic to the people?  It's not squeezed to death!

    More than a dozen factory supervisors from various grasslands in Jeju Island, who served as cavalry generals temporarily, were killed by the herdsmen around them in a daze.

    These guys, usually domineering, are finally getting their retribution now.

    "Don't kill me, I will surrender!"

    Pu Sheng, the supervisor of Jingyi County, shouted in a hurry, trying to escape on horseback, but was chased by the herdsmen around him and stabbed to death.

    Jin Guorui, the supervisor of Dajing County, ran very fast, and he had fled to Li Hengzhong in a blink of an eye: "Master Mushi, Muzi on the island has rebelled, and he must be suppressed quickly!"

    "I'm not blind, I don't need you to remind me!"

    Li Hengzhong was startled and angry, and quickly summoned his personal guards, a total of more than two hundred cavalry, and immediately rushed towards the rebels.

    More than 3,200 herdsmen all chose to defect, and Li Hengzhong was only left with more than 200 people in an instant.

    However, there are more than two hundred cavalrymen, but they are chasing and killing more than three thousand herdsmen.

    The scene was extremely weird.

    More than 3,000 herdsmen on horseback did not dare to fight at all. They were chased and moved closer to the city wall, hoping to obtain the protection of Datong soldiers.

    "Is the enemy internal strife?" Hu Dinggui asked confusedly.

    Liu Ze crawled over and leaned against the wall of the village, and said in the official language of Ming Dynasty: "General Rong, if you can't take down Jeju Pastoral City quickly, or if you lose the battle, Li Hengzhong will be killed by the herdsmen and surrender."

    Hu Dinggui smiled and asked: "Why?"

    Liu Ze replied: "Jeju's navy has been lost, and no one on the island can escape. Everyone can surrender, but Li Hengzhong cannot surrender. He belongs to the Korean clan, and he has been guarding Gwanghaejun (Li Hui) for a long time. Gwanghaejun controls  After Jeju Island, Li Hengzhong would have to die even if he surrendered. Moreover, the North Korean government exploited the herdsmen too much, and the herdsmen wanted to rebel a long time ago."

    "No wonder he ordered the siege without his life," Hu Dinggui said with a smile, "Are you Han?"

    Liu Ze replied: "I was born in a Korean Confucian family, and my grandfather studied in Daming for several years."

    Hu Dinggui said: "You are very good, you can be my personal interpreter."

    "Thank you, General!" Liu Ze hurriedly kowtowed.

    More than 3,000 defected herdsmen rushed to the vicinity of the city wall, got off their horses and knelt down one after another, and sent envoys to chatter for a long time.

    Liu Ze translated: "General Rong, this person said that they are all shepherds on the island, who were forced to work for Li Hengzhong. They were exploited by the North Korean leader in the past, and now they request to belong to the Ming Dynasty."

    Hu Dinggui asked: "What is the situation on the island?"

    Liu Ze's thinking is very quick, and he explained briefly: "Jeju Island was originally a horse breeding land in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolian criminals were continuously exiled to raise horses. In the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu also exiled the descendants of Yuanliang King, Chen Youliang and Ming Yuzhen.  Come here. These people are very powerful. They gradually gathered wealth and moved away from Jeju Island. After the Imjin Japanese Invasion, North Korea was full of unclaimed wasteland.  The descendants include Han Chinese, Koreans, and Mongols, and they have long been mixed blood and cannot distinguish ethnicity."

    "Who owns the pasture and farmland?" Hu Dinggui asked again.

    Liu Ze replied: "It belongs to the lord of Korea. The residents of the island are half farming and half grazing. Every year, they pay tribute to the lord with cattle and horses, and hand over land taxes to the island government. There are three cities and twelve townships on the island, all of which are under the management of the government.  The government can take back pastures and farmland at will.”

    Hu Dinggui turned around to discuss with Wang Yaochen for a while, and said to Liu Ze: "Tell them, as long as they are loyal, the tribute will be reduced by 10%, and their previous crimes will not be pursued."

    Liu Ze immediately told the news, and the cavalry rushed back, and soon the herdsmen burst into cheers.

    Surrender means surrender, but they dare not fight. More than 3,000 herdsmen shrank outside the city.

    Li Hengzhong and Jin Ruorui, both in full armor, rode the two best horses on the island.  There are more than 200 cavalry under their command, all of them are wearing leather armor, and each has a horse bow.

    As for the more than 3,000 herdsmen who surrendered, not to mention wearing armor, even their clothes were worn out.

    There are not even swords, most of them are equipped with spears.

    Some spears,The soldiers learn how to take care of the horses, and the soldiers must eat and sleep with the horses every day.  Of course, the herdsmen are responsible for feeding the night food, otherwise the soldiers would not be able to sleep well.

    After half a month of training in this way, five hundred musketeers can already run casually on horses.

    But it is impossible to march forward in an array, and the whole army changes direction urgently. This kind of high-end operation is even more impossible.

    Their daily training subjects are to run for a while on horseback, then quickly get off the horse to fill the ammunition, and then get back on the horse and continue running-mounted musket infantry.

    As for the heavy cavalry, they had to bring in high-quality horse breeds, and the pony horses in Jeju Island were not good at all

    Dajing County.

    After receiving Li Hengzhong's banquet, Jin Guorui was so frightened that he immediately ran to the stables, and rode out of the city on horseback.

    Twenty cavalry quickly chased after him, and surrounded Jin Guorui after running for two miles: "County Supervisor, please go back, the Master Shepherd invites you to drink."

    "Slow down!"

    Jin Guorui was sweating on his back, and said to the cavalrymen: "I have found out clearly, this time it is not the Ming army, but Zhao Tianwang's army. Zhao Tianwang occupies half of Daming, and the territory is as big as ten North Koreas. Even if you  If you can leave Jeju Island for the first time, you are not afraid to offend Zhao Tianwang? What's more, the navy of Jeju Island is gone, and the tribute horse envoy sent by the king of North Korea will not come until around the winter solstice. By then, we will definitely lose  Already!"

    These cavalrymen did not speak, but they did not move either.

    Jin Guorui continued: "The enemy is using a tactic of alienation, a conspiracy. I did not betray the lord, but I was suspected by the pastor and sent you to hunt me down. After I die, who will be next? The enemy threatens, you  You can surrender without guilt, will Li Hengzhong be suspicious of you? Like killing me today, kill the general who commanded the army?"

    Seeing that the cavalry still did not respond, Jin Guorui said: "The enemy is training the cavalry every day. Li Hengzhong has more than 200 cavalry. How can he win? Are you going to accompany him to death? Go back with me, kill Li Hengzhong, and seek refuge.  Mr. Guanghai (Li Hun)!"

    After finishing speaking, Jin Guorui rode his horse and rushed to the county seat, and the cavalry followed.

    After entering the city, Jin Guorui shouted all the way: "The bandits are here, the bandits are here!"

    Dajing county suddenly became chaotic. Li Heng came out in armor and led his troops, and asked, "Is the bandit army here?"

    Jin Guorui said: "It's already several miles away."

    Li Heng said again: "It's not convenient for the cavalry to defend the city, so follow me out of the city to meet the enemy!"

    Jin Guorui sat on his horse and turned around, gesturing towards the twenty or so cavalrymen.

    Those cavalry drew their bows and arrows in unison, and shot towards Li Heng at a distance of more than ten steps.

    "kill!"

    Fearing that he would not be shot, Jin Guorui rode his horse and rushed forward: "Surrender to avoid death!"

    Li Hengzhong and his personal guards were caught off guard by the rain of arrows. Many people were hit by arrows in a daze, and some horses ran away after being injured.  Seeing Jin Guorui leading troops to attack, the soldiers subconsciously avoided, but no one stopped him.

    With one slash, Li Heng fell off the horse.

    Jin Guorui raised his arms and shouted: "Li Hengzhong is dead, follow me to Lord Guanghai, follow me to King Zhao Tian!"

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 322 [Adding Ding] (adding more for Shangxian Qitian)

    ,

    Zhao Han returned to Jiangxi. As soon as he arrived in Ji'an, before his butt was hot, he received a military report from Yangzhou.

    Daming dispatched officers and soldiers from Jizhen to quickly wipe out the uprising soldiers.  He also dispatched Xuanda officers and soldiers to go south and ordered Jizhen soldiers to go west, trying to surround Li Zicheng to death in Henan.

    At this time, the Tartars sent troops to besiege Jinzhou.

    And this time is different from the past, Huang Taiji changed his tactics.  He even ordered to farm outside Jinzhou City, as if he didn't intend to leave, and wanted to starve the Jinzhou officers and soldiers to death.

    The Jizhen soldiers were quickly transferred back, and Li Zicheng escaped unharmed, and continued to deal with the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

    "Jinzhou is gone, or Daming is gone." Zhao Han handed over the military newspaper.

    After reading it, Pang Chunlai sighed.

    Li Banghua looked at the military newspaper and said: "The way the Tatars fight is exactly the same as our way of conquering the fortified city. While besieging the city, we divided the land outside the city and formed a peasant association, turning the fortified city of Ming Dynasty into an isolated city.  This time, the Tartars are garrisoning the fields after besieging the city, and the officers and soldiers in the city dare not come out."

    "Once the siege exceeds half a year, Jinzhou soldiers may surrender." Pang Chun said.

    Li Banghua added: "The court of the Ming Dynasty is likely to use all its forces to rescue the besieged Jinzhou. If the Ming army is defeated, the Ming army will be wiped out, and the northern rogues will definitely take the opportunity to become bigger."

    Zhao Han said with emotion: "It seems that the Tartars robbed a lot of food and grass last year, otherwise they would not have the capital to besiege Jinzhou for a long time."

    Since the reign of Tianqi, Jinzhou and Ningyuan have been the front lines. The Guan Jinning defense line has been blocking the Qing army, and the Tartars can only take a long way to cross the Great Wall to invade the invaders.

    It's not that the Tartars haven't thought about long-term siege, but that there is not enough food to support this method of warfare.

    Last year, it was too cool to grab, and the Tartars had enough food and grass, so they used this deadly move with no solution.  The Ming court either sat back and watched the Jinzhou defenders surrender, or mobilized a large army for a battle.

    Once the battle fails, the Liaodong defense line will collapse!

    Most of the northern Zhili area is full of Manchu spies.

    The Ming Dynasty's finances collapsed ahead of schedule, and the Manchu Qing also surrounded Jinzhou ahead of schedule.  The reason for this is nothing more than bullying Daming's lack of food and grass, even if there is a battle, it can only be resolved quickly.  The Ming army, which was eager to enter the army, must have made many mistakes and omissions. Huang Taiji was able to find all kinds of opportunities to attack.

    Li Banghua said: "The court of the Ming Dynasty had to save Jinzhou. If they did not send troops to rescue, everyone in Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan would be in danger. Maybe the frontline generals would surrender directly. Rescue would lead to defeat, and the slaves could fight all the way to Shanhaiguan." Zhang Xianzhong  , Li Zicheng took the opportunity to grow stronger, and the Ming Dynasty has no more elite soldiers to use. We must quickly fight to Jiangbei."

    Fei Chun said: "After the autumn harvest, we can't fight big battles. There are famines everywhere in Jiangnan and Zhejiang. This year's disaster relief has run out of food, and it will take at least half a year to recuperate. We hold the Dongting Lake granary and Jiangxi's grain production. We will harvest tomorrow summer."  After that, there will definitely be enough food to fight as you like!"

    "Why is there no food again?" Li Banghua was a little depressed.

    Fei Chun said helplessly: "Officers and soldiers can rob food, rogues can rob food, and Tartars are also robbing food. Not only can we not rob, but we have to take out food for disaster relief. How much can we leave after going back and forth?"

    "By the way," Zhao Han thought of a question, "Did the sea merchants come back from Annan to sell grain?"

    Fei Chun replied: "We shipped a lot, but only enough for Guangdong to consume. Guangdong suffered another drought this year, and it was a major disaster for the whole province. Mr. (Pang Chunlai) ordered that the land tax be exempted, and Guangdong will not store a single grain of rice this year."  All the grain brought back by Annan was used to fill the holes in Guangdong, otherwise the price of grain in the counties of Guangzhou would be so high that people would starve to death.”

    "Oh, what a disaster." Zhao Han sighed.

    The hellish weather at the end of Ming Dynasty, either here or there was a disaster, Zhao Han had the same headache as Chongzhen.

    After discussing for a while, Zhao Han made a decision: "Then after the autumn harvest this year, we will not fight any big battles, just take Fujian. By the way, we will rectify the administration of officials and train more officials. If the expansion is too fast, various problems will appear."

    "To attack Fujian, it is enough to send a few thousand people." Li Banghua said.

    Fujian is sandwiched between Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, and the surrounding area is all Zhao Han's territory.

    ? In Fujian Province, there is also an uprising by Qiu Lingxiao and his son, who have already occupied one of the eight counties in Tingzhou Prefecture.

    Under internal and external difficulties, Fujian officials tend to lie flat.  They couldn't even defeat Qiu Lingxiao's rebel army, how could they dare to fight against Zhao Han?

    ?The plan for the second half of the year is thus determined: consolidate the territory, recuperate, rectify the administration of officials, and win Fujian.

    After the meeting, Zhao Han returned to the back house.

    Fei Rulan and Pan Qimei, who were about to give birth, sat under the shade of a tree to enjoy the shade, occasionally standing up and taking a few steps.

    "Little brother!"

    &Don't think too much about it.  "Zhao Han held her hand to comfort her.

    Fei Rulan heard the yelling from next door and asked worriedly, "Is Seventh Sister still alive?"

    "Soon." Zhao Han said.

    After struggling for another half an hour, laughter finally came from the next door, and then Po Wen shouted: "There is one more, there is another one!"

    Zhao Han hurriedly ran, and not long after, the room cheered and celebrated again.

    Grandma Wen ordered to handle the first and last, opened the door and said to Zhao Han: "Congratulations to Zongzhen, the wife gave birth to twins, the elder sister is in front, and the younger brother is in the rear."

    "There are rewards, there are many rewards!"

    Zhao Han walked into the room. Pan Qimei was already weak and drenched in sweat, smiling at Zhao Han with a pale face.

    The next day, Zhao Han quietly issued an order.

    All death row prisoners in Jiangxi Province were taken to Linjiang Mansion to be hanged, and all their bodies were sent to Zaoge Mountain.

    Taoist priest Liu Kaihua received the secret order and hurried to Ji'an to have an audience: "The general town, the holy place of Taoism in Zaoge Mountain, how can we get so many autopsies?"

    "If you don't dissect the corpse, how can you know the structure of the human body?" Zhao Han asked back.

    Liu Kaihua still didn't understand, and said, "But"

    "No, but," Zhao Han interrupted directly, "the dissecting room is built in Ziyang Medical College, so as to understand how the blood circulates throughout the body, and understand how the internal organs work. The "Huangdi Neijing" can be temporarily put aside, this is for  Don’t think too much about curing diseases and saving lives.”

    Liu Kaihua hesitated to speak, but finally chose to obey orders.

    Zhao Han originally planned to let the doctors develop on their own, but Pan Qimei really scared him when she gave birth this time.

    ? Tossing back and forth for more than ten hours, it is good luck not to have one dead body and three lives. Modern medicine must start exploring in advance.

 Text 323 [Officials and Bandits Surrender Together]

    Taoist priest Liu Kaihua left, Zhao Han smiled and asked Li Yu, "Do you seem to have something to say?"

    Li Yu cupped his hands and said: "General Town, if you want to promote the way of medicine, you should be a doctor."

    "Don't I still respect doctors?" Zhao Han asked.

    Li Yu knelt down abruptly: "After ascending to the throne, please issue an order to delete Zhu Zi's "Analects of Confucius": 'The small way is like the genus of farm medicine and divination.'"

    The original text of "The Analects of Confucius" roughly reads: Small ways also have their merits, but studying these things all day long will hinder the pursuit of a greater cause, so a gentleman should not do it.

    When Zhu Xi was making notes, he made a sentence inexplicably: Xiaodao is like the farm, medicine and divination.

    This sentence is to be used in the imperial examination!

    Since then, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, doctors were regarded as lowly slaves.

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "It needs to be deleted, how can agriculture and medicine be low-level? Agriculture is a major event in the world; medical affairs are also a major event."

    Li Yu also suggested: "Please ask the town to promulgate a decree that doctors are not allowed to be called mountain people, and mountain people are not allowed to practice medicine in publicity."

    This is a special phenomenon in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Doctors, fortune-tellers, poets, painters, and poor scholars all called themselves mountain people.  They don't do production, but hang out between the city and the countryside. They are arty and social, and they are despised by orthodox scholar-bureaucrats.

    These mountain people know a little bit about everything, but most of them have poor medical skills, which often tarnish the doctor's reputation.

    Zhao Han didn't understand at first, but after listening to Li Yu's explanation, he immediately agreed: "This order will be promulgated immediately, and the mountain people cannot be allowed to practice medicine by bluffing and deceiving."

    Li Yu made a third suggestion: "General Town, please enshrine the ancient medical sage as a saint in the Confucius Temple!"

    Emperor Longqing did this, and was sprayed all over his face by his officials, thinking that the medical saint's entry into the Confucian Temple was a blasphemy against Confucianism.

    Zhao Han couldn't help laughing: "Okay, let the medical sage enter the Confucius Temple."

    Confucianism in the Han Dynasty absorbed various schools of thought.

    Since Zhao Han wants to reform Confucianism, of course he can recruit doctors, and he will also recruit scientists in the future.

    Sun Simiao, Hua Tuo, Ge Hong, Zu Chongzhi, Zhang Heng, Shen Kuo, Mo Di put the tablets of these people in the Confucian Temple, it must be very exciting.

    Zhao Han asked: "Do you have a way to regulate doctors?"

    Li Yu shook his head: "Not at all."

    A scholar like Li Yu who came from a medical family, his uncle was a doctor with a crown, has long been aware of the disadvantages of medicine.  Not only Li Yu, many doctors in the Ming Dynasty wrote books and complained about quack doctors.

    Li Yu divides doctors into three types: good doctors, Chinese medicine doctors, and quack doctors.

    He said that there are very few good doctors, Chinese medicine and quack doctors are all over the world, quack doctors are purely harmful, and Chinese medicine does not harm or save people.

    The most ridiculous thing is that the Ming Tai Hospital, the highest medical institution, does not have many good doctors.  Because imperial physicians can be recommended, during the Jiajing period, imperial hospitals were investigated, forty-two imperial physicians were dismissed, and one hundred and sixty-two imperial physicians were directly expelled from medical registration.

    ?The 162 imperial physicians who were expelled from their medical registrations did not know how to take the pulse and take medicine, and they were completely blind to the powerful and powerful.

    In this case, it is not that traditional Chinese medicine is not good, but that Zhu Xi commented on the sentence in "The Analects of Confucius", which led to medicine being regarded as a small way.  The children of medical households all want to take the imperial examination, and they don't have much serious study of medicine, so they bluff and deceive everywhere.

    After careful consideration, Zhao Han decided to add a medical school.

    Currently there is only one Ziyang Medical College in Jiangxi, and one should be opened in Nanjing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Changsha.  Invite well-known doctors from all over the world to teach in medical schools. After completing their studies, they will be issued a medical license, which is an official certification for these medical students.

    As for those who do not have a medical license, the government will not prosecute them, because it is too difficult to enforce.

    Come step by step, Zhao Han only gives policy guidance.

    As long as the policy is guided in a positive direction, there will be more and more good doctors in the future.

    At least not like Daming, too many hospitals are full of quack doctors.  It's scary to think about it. Are there really dignitaries who dare to seek medical treatment from them?

    His attitude towards traditional Chinese medicine is neither admiration nor dislike, and he hopes to continue to develop more comprehensive and perfect.

    Zhao Han said to Li Yu: "You come from a medical family, so this task is entrusted to you. Go to search for famous doctors in various provinces, and set up four new medical schools. The dean of each medical school is given an official status, which is equivalent to the prefect.  The vice-principal is equivalent to the county magistrate. Let them teach well and train more good doctors, which is a great cause for the benefit of the common people."

    "Obey!" Li Yu was quite excited.

    Since there will be no major wars this year, we can take the opportunity to do a lot of internal affairs.

    Li Yu took a group of men to Nanjing to build a medical school.  The magistrate of Fuliang sent people to offer a thousandState capital city.  This gentleman is a clean and honest official, his mother died in the county government, and he has no money to pay for the funeral, so the local gentry paid for him to take care of it.

    This person has an extremely bold personality, nicknamed "Timely Rain", even if he gets some regular money, he will give it to others for emergency.

    Therefore, after he became the governor of Fujian, the gentry, powerful and common people in Fujian were very convinced.  In the past two years, there have been uprisings everywhere in Fujian. Xiao Yifu has successively put down the rebels such as Chen Hu, Chen Jia, Guan Rikui, Chen Beizan, and Wu Jiupin.

    Now I can't move anymore, Fujian is short of money and food.

    The leader of the thieves, Qiu Lingxiao admired the governor's character, and he didn't want to fight with Xiao Yifu, so the two secretly wrote letters and wanted to join Zhao Han together.

    It was Chongzhen who prompted Xiao Yifu to make up his mind.

    Xiao Yifu is from Dongguan, Guangdong, and his hometown is occupied by Zhao Han.  The monarchs and ministers in the court were afraid that Xiao Yifu would be a thief, so they sent a new governor.

    ?The governor set off at the beginning of the year, went south tremblingly, was blocked by Zhan Luan, and did not take office in Fujian until last month.

    Xiao Yifu quelled so many Fujian uprisings and made countless contributions, so he was only transferred to Dali Temple Minister.

    Fearful and angry, Xiao Yifu put the new governor under house arrest, and discussed with the thief leader Qiu Lingxiao to join Zhao Han together.

    What else can Zhao Han say?

    I can only sigh.

    The autumn harvest is still going on these few days, and the autumn grain has not yet been put into storage, and we are preparing to send troops to Fujian.  As a result, before he could do anything, Fujian officials and rebels surrendered together.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 324 [Sunset and Western Mountains]

    Chongzhen twelve years, October.

    Zhao Han ordered his troops to divide into two groups, one to receive Fuzhou by boat, and the other to go south to receive Tingzhou.  Those who resisted in the corner were all wiped out, and the number of officials who surrendered or fled was almost evenly divided.

    Over the past few years, more than a dozen uprisings broke out in Fujian, and it suffered from droughts many times. Neither the gentry, the officials, nor the people wanted to fight.

    Four words: people's mind is fixed.

    A lot of autumn grain just harvested in Jiangxi was shipped to Fujian for disaster relief.  A large amount of grain from Hunan was transported to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for sale.  The territories in several provinces under Zhao Han's rule were finally able to recuperate this time.

    The north is even more chaotic.

    The officers and soldiers in Xunyang and Xiangyang have not been paid for half a year, and they usually rely on looting the people for food and drink.

    ?Governor Wang Aoyong asked for military pay, totaling more than 100,000 taels of silver.  If the imperial court has no money, ask for the distribution of salt quotations, and attract merchants to sell salt quotations to offset military funds.

    Chongzhen agreed.

    ?The rest of the officers and soldiers from all walks of life also used salt to deduct the deduction, and let them find a way to cash it out.

    For a while, the price of salt was overblown and depreciated rapidly.

    Huizhou merchants, Qin merchants and Shanxi merchants suffered heavy losses. In order to calm the resentment of merchants, the Lianghuai patrol salt censor strengthened the management of saltworks.

    In this way, the businessman was happy, but he forced Yanxiao and Zaohu to rebel.

    Especially the salt-burning kitchen households, if they do not rebel, there is only a dead end, because they rely on selling illegal salt to survive.

    Zheng Guofeng, the salt lord, gathered a crowd to raise troops, and the two Huaizao households echoed each other, killing the supervisors of each saltworks. In ten months, he had more than 30,000 troops and occupied Rugao, Haimen, Taixing, and Tongzhou (Nantong) counties.

    The salt merchants exploded.

    Huizhou salt merchants and Shanshan salt merchants used to play tricks on each other, but this time they joined forces to recruit soldiers to assist local officials to suppress the salt owl uprising.

    Huizhou merchants kept writing letters, asking Zhao Tianwang to send troops to take the Lianghuai area as soon as possible.

    Zhao Han turned a deaf ear to it and stayed on the sidelines until next summer's harvest.

    The battle between Huaihe and Huaihe was lively, and Hubei was occupied by Zhang Xianzhong.

    "Cao Cao" Luo Rucai originally mixed with Zhang Xianzhong, but they had a falling out some time ago.  The reason was that Zhang Xianzhong gave all the land to his godson and his subordinates for selfishness, and Luo Rucai was busy for a long time with only two counties.

    Luo Rucai led his army westward to the Dabie Mountains and captured Shangcheng, Gushi, Guangzhou, Guangshan, Xixian, Luoshan and other counties.

    This move frightened the Henan officers and soldiers. They were besieging and suppressing Li Zicheng, and Luo Rucai suddenly developed wildly behind his back

    Xin Zheng.

    "Cough cough cough!"

    ? Yang Sichang coughed repeatedly, until he could hardly straighten his back, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs.

    The most powerful civil servant in Ming Dynasty, his beard and hair are all gray at this moment.  Compared to last year's full of energy, she seemed to be twenty years older, and her face was covered with wrinkles at some point.

    Luoyang City was high and deep, and Li Zicheng couldn't fight it down. As Xuan Da's frontier army went south, King Chuang was driven away again.

    What kind of farming, what kind of establishment, these policies can't be implemented, he can only continue to be a rogue.

    Li Zicheng was in a difficult situation, and Yang Sichang was also in a difficult situation. The armies from all walks of life were complaining about their salaries.

    "Report!"

    "Tiger Dawei, fierce as a tiger, and Zuo Liangyu teamed up to attack and smash the bandit camp, killing more than 5,000 enemies, and the bandits fled to Yanling!"

    Yang Sichang stood up excitedly, with a sickly flushed face, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, good fight, let the generals from all walks of life report their merits."

    "Cough cough cough cough!"

    ? Yang Sichang coughed again and coughed up a hand full of blood. He secretly wiped off the blood, not daring to let anyone see it.

    ? On the next day, the military achievements of all parties were reported, and Yang Sichang drafted a victory report document, and immediately sent someone to Beijing.

    The imperial court had no money to reward meritorious deeds, so Yang Sichang had no choice but to ask for the title of earl, asking Hu Dawei, Meng Ruhu, and Zuo Liangyu to be made earls, and the rest of the generals were also made wives and sons.

    If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to command the army, and the imperial court owed him too much.

    "Supervisor, a eunuch is here!"

    As soon as the letter of victory was sent out, a eunuch suddenly came to Xinzheng to announce the decree.

    This decree was not official, so the eunuch stepped back and said to Yang Sichang: "Mr. Yang Ge, Your Majesty asks you, when will the intruders be wiped out?"

    "I just won a big game a few days ago." Yang Sichang replied.

    The eunuch sighed and said, "Your Majesty ordered you to suppress the bandits quickly and dispatch elites to rescue Jinzhou! Ifthe bandits cannot be suppressed within half a year, Your Majesty will have to replace the master with another person."

    Yang Sichang didn't even bother to argue, and said weakly: "I will definitely do my best."

    in the armyWar, not twisted into a rope at all.

    "Pfft!"

    ? Yang Sichang spat out a mouthful of old blood and passed out in the barracks on the spot

    Beijing.

    If Chongzhen was struck by lightning, he couldn't believe it: "Did Yang Ge die of illness?"

    "Your Majesty, this is the legacy of Elder Yang Ge."

    Chongzhen read the suicide note carefully with trembling hands.

    ? Yang Sichang first blamed himself, saying that he had owed the emperor's kindness.  It also explained that the reason for the defeat in this battle was all due to the generals' disobedience to military orders. If they pursued together or did not pursue them, such a big defeat would not have occurred.

    Finally, Yang Sichang recommended Chen Xinjia to be Minister of War.

    Chongzhen put down Yang Sichang's suicide note and tried not to cry. He knew that Daming was hopeless.

    Zhao Han's occupation of Jiangnan was a fatal blow, and the imperial court only had the Lianghuai salt tax available.

    Today, the uprising of Yanxiao and Zaohu has caused the imperial court to fail to collect salt tax, and Yanyin has become a piece of waste paper.

    The imperial court ran out of money, and the capital was experiencing a rice shortage, and the price of rice had risen to five taels of silver per stone.

    Even in the city of Beijing, people began to starve to death due to lack of food!

    The Tartars are besieging Jinzhou, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai are raging in Henan, and Zhang Xianzhong is expanding wildly in Hubei.  As soon as the Shandong Cao Army Uprising was suppressed, the Lianghuai salt lord stove households rebelled again.

    By the way, Sichuan also has an uprising army, and there have been more than a dozen groups. Qin Liangyu is running in Sichuan to suppress the rebellion.

    Due to the severe famine, the people of Beizhili revolted, and the officers and soldiers of Jizhen were suppressing it.

    Chongzhen was in a desperate situation, there was no way to rescue Liaodong, and he couldn't even make up the expenses for the army's departure.

    Zu Dashou's Liaodong generals could only defend the city slowly by themselves, and they would definitely surrender when the food ran out.  Reinforcements can't be waited for, at most let Hong Chengchou bring Jizhen soldiers to rescue, and the Beizhili uprising army must be pacified first.

    Chongzhen called all his sons and daughters here, and it was rare for him to have a good meal.

    Looking at these children, he couldn't bear it, and suddenly remembered Wang Tiaoding's message.

    Send your children to the south?

    Before and after Chongzhen sent several groups of Jinyiwei to the south, knowing that Zhao Han had the reputation of "benevolence and kindness".  Whether it is true benevolence or false benevolence, reputation must be taken into account after all, and perhaps it will not kill the royal family.

    Having figured things out, Chongzhen hesitated again. If the children were sent to the south, what face would the Ming imperial family have?

    (Sorry, I missed a lord, thanks to the lord of readerk for the reward.)

    (Take it easy, there are only two updates today.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 325 [Scholar's Heart]

    The winter solstice, the snow and the first sunshine.

    ? To attack Jiangsu, Zhejiang and surrounding prefectures and counties around Dongting Lake, a quarter of the officials in Luling County were taken away.  Some time ago, Fujian was taken over, and several officials in Luling County were taken away.

    Liu Rushi, a female intern, is now a serious county government official.

    "Xiao Liu, prepare some dried fruit and wine, and I will pick a few people to go to Bailuzhou tomorrow." The chief secretary Chen Qianji personally came to the Propaganda Department to deliver the message.

    Liu Rushi confirmed in detail: "How much dry fruit wine do you need, and how many people do you need to go to Bailuzhou?"

    Chen Qianji thought for a while, and replied: "Two hundred catties of dried fruit, thirty catties of wine. You don't have to worry about how many people smoke, you must go. Remember to call Tian Su (Lin Xue) too."

    Liu Rushi didn't ask any more questions, she already roughly guessed that some noble person was going to Bailuzhou tomorrow.

    Chen Qianji was the young section chief, and within half a year, he was promoted to the director of Luling County.  When the site expands again next year, he will either be promoted to be a county magistrate, or transferred to a prefecture to be an experience (similar to the director of a municipal office).  There will be another promotion, a proper party magistrate.

    With a double harvest in love and career, Chen Qianji has already pursued Lin Xue, and the only obstacle to getting married is to persuade the feudal parents.

    Liu Rushi immediately went to withdraw the money and buy dried fruit wine for preparation.

    Back in the rented yard, Liu Rushi said to Lin Xue: "Sister, brother-in-law wants you to go to Bailuzhou together tomorrow."

    "What brother-in-law? I haven't written my horoscope yet." Lin Xue blushed suddenly.

    "Sooner or later," Liu Rushi said with a smile, "although my brother-in-law didn't explain it clearly, I already guessed it. I'm afraid Zongzhen Zhao will go to Bailuzhou tomorrow. Otherwise, no one can let the county government branch bank to eat.  "

    Lin Xue laughed and said, "A county magistrate in Daming can make a fuss when he travels. Mr. Zhao's bureaucracy is really strict. The expenses for entertaining the superiors are only a few taels of silver, and they have to be reported to each level for approval. Many officials complained  , saying that it is too difficult to be an official in Jiangxi, you do a lot, you get little, and if you make a mistake, you will be punished."

    Liu Rushi said: "It's not bad. I'm just a county clerk, and I can support three families with my salary. I can't just eat and drink, and I can't be romantic. The sons of gentry find it difficult."

    "I heard that female officer Huang (Xiaohong) has been promoted to magistrate?" Lin Xue asked suddenly.

    Liu Rushi nodded and said, "Anfu county magistrate."

    Lin Xue was amazed and envious: "You are really a hero among girls!"

    Liu Rushi said: "The general town must have taken care of it secretly. The three counties of Luling, Jishui, and Anfu are the places where the general town thrives. Anfu County is open and rich, so there is not much resistance for a woman to be a county magistrate there."

    Among the merchants in Jiangxi, there are two major merchant gangs, one is the Anfu merchant gang, and the other is the Qianshan merchant gang. The industry and commerce in Anfu County are extremely prosperous.

    The next day.

    Lin Xue prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and went out with Liu Rushi.  She waited at the county government office, Liu Rushi came out after a while, and Chen Qianji brought a few officials.

    Both the county magistrate and the county magistrate did not dare to let go of their jobs, and went to Bailuzhou to entertain Zhao Han in person.

    When boarding a boat across the river at the ferry, Chen Qianji ordered: "There are many scholars today, they are here to persuade them to come, not only from Jiangxi, but also from Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Hunan, Guangdong, and even Fujian. The more scholars from all provinces gather  More, it is nothing more than asking the general town to become a king on its own, and move the capital to Nanjing to open a course to obtain a scholar. Their real intention is nothing more than to open a course to obtain a scholar. They want to skip the official staff and become an official directly after the exam. Therefore, no matter what they say  Whatever, you don't want to get involved."

    All the officials suddenly realized that this time they were serving as receptionists.

    When I came to Jiangxinzhou by boat, not only officials from Luling County came, but also the handymen from Bailuzhou Academy were busy.  The stools and desks were brought out and placed on the open space outside, and a lot of preserved fruits and drinks were brought out, and there was still thick snow all around.

    Lin Xue pointed to the distance: "He is here too."

    Liu Rushi took a closer look, but it was his ex-boyfriend Chen Zilong.  The two of them once talked about getting married, but the Chen family disagreed with each other. After Chen Zilong was admitted to Jinshi and became an official in Beijing, they broke up completely.

    Everyone waited for a while, and Zhao Han finally showed up, with only a dozen bodyguards with him today.

    "Meet the general town!"

    Zhao Han was very satisfied that no one knelt down, just bowed.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Sit down."

    "Xie Zongzhen!"

    Everyone took their seats.

    Zhao Han raised his glass and said: "Today's winter solstice, the sky is freezing, and I will drink this cup to the brim. I wish the country and the people peace, and the military disaster will be eliminated as soon as possible."

    Everyone toasted and toasted.

    Putting down the wine glass, Zhao Han smiled and said, "Who is Chen Renzhong?"

    the??Let’s talk about the establishment of secondary schools.  You can continue to study, get acquainted with the subjects of elementary school and middle school, and you will definitely be able to take the imperial examination in high school in the future!  "

    Everyone was stunned.

    Wu Huangjia, a Juren from Fujian Province, couldn't help asking: "In the future, will I have to take mathematics and geometry exams?"

    "It's natural." Zhao Han said firmly.

    Chen Dan, a Nanjing Juren, said excitedly: "Mathematics is a trivial matter, how can you get into the imperial examination hall?"

    The smile on Zhao Han's face disappeared, and he said in a cold tone: "You have only two choices, either take the test or not."

    Xu Fuyi, a Qiantang Juren, cupped his hands and said, "Please think twice, the chief executive, the imperial examinations are only custom-made and cannot be easily changed."

    Zhao Han asked back: "During the time of Confucius and Mencius, were there imperial examinations?"

    Xu Fuyi replied: "Not at all."

    "Since this is the case, what is tested in the imperial examination is determined by the emperors of later generations," Zhao Han said, "If I am an emperor, I can take whatever exams I want. Or do you think this town can't be an emperor?"

    "Don't dare." Xu Fuyi sat back quickly.

    Zhao Han said: "Tomorrow in the spring and summer, I will move to Nanjing. As for the opening of a subject to obtain a scholar, it is still the same sentence, you have to wait for the completion of middle schools and primary schools in various places. If you want to take part in the imperial examination, you must study Datong and mathematics honestly.  , Geometry. Or, if you become an official now, maybe you will be a magistrate in the future when you start a course to obtain a scholar!"

    All the scholars looked at each other in blank dismay, after all they didn't dare to jump anymore, for fear of offending Zhao Han at this very moment.

 Body 326 [Three Principles]

    Zhao Han raised his hand, and some guards came carrying several large boxes.

    "To be honest," Zhao Han glanced at the many scholars, "I am very disappointed with you. Many of you are Juren, and there are a few Ding You or dismissed Jinshi. Most of your family's land is also forcibly divided.  Don’t you understand why this town divides the land? Mr. Huang (Xu Ying) spreads it everywhere, but you never watch "Datong Ji"?"

    No one spoke.

    Zhao Han asked by name: "Men, have you read "The Collection of Great Harmony"?"

    "I've seen it." Chen Zilong replied.

    Zhao Han asked again: "Do you know why I divided the fields?"

    Chen Zilong said: ""Datong Collection" has a lot of discussions, and it can be summed up in only 16 words about the government of dividing land: suppress mergers, increase taxes, crack down on tyrants, and win the hearts of the people."

    Zhao Han laughed and said, "Are you against adding mathematics and geometry to the imperial examination?"

    "I have no objection." Chen Zilong said.

    "Everyone objected just now, why didn't you speak?" Zhao Han asked.

    Chen Zilong sighed: "If you talk about it, you will offend many people. Mathematics and geometry seem to be trivial, but they are actually great. The draft of Mr. Xuan Hu's "Elements of Geometry" is now in my study."

    It is no wonder that Chen Zilong is not opposed to adding material to the imperial examination. It turns out that he has already mastered it, and even has a draft of Xu Guangqi's "Elements of Geometry".

    "What do you think of imperial power? Tell the truth." Zhao Han said.

    Chen Zilong did not answer directly, but said: "For humans, snakes, insects, mice, and ants are indistinguishable from good and evil. To heaven, humans are like snakes, insects, mice, mice, and ants. Heaven is mighty, but it is the good and evil of humans that make it  Misfortunes and blessings reward the good and punish the evil, but the good are not good, and the evil are not evil. Heaven has no reason to tell it, so it has not been realized until now. If you know what you can’t do, you should relax your power less.”

    As soon as this remark came out, some scholars were shocked, while others praised.

    These words are obviously satirizing Chongzhen, and at the same time remind Zhao Han not to be self-willed.

    People can't understand the situation of snakes, insects, rats and ants, just like the emperor can't understand the situation of the people.  The emperor insisted on finding out, and then rewarded and punished indiscriminately, resulting in unclear rewards and punishments, and no one to do things. The rights of the emperor should be restricted.

    Many anti-Qing righteous men including Chen Zilong, although they died for the Ming Dynasty, their works hated Chongzhen very much, and they all proposed the idea of ??restricting imperial power.

    Chen Zilong's real proposition is to carry out "family politics", restore the ancient fifth-class titles, and restore the gentry ecology of the Han and Jin Dynasties-although it is restricting imperial power, it is actually turning back the wheel of history.

    Of course, after reading "The Collection of Datong", Chen Zilong's thinking changed, because he discovered that family politics would lead to worse negative effects.

    Zhao Han heard another meaning: "Do you want to form a party?"

    Chen Zilong said: "Isolated and helpless, who can do things? People must have friends, and affairs must have parties. Since ancient times, parties have been difficult to ban. Ming Dynasty's fierce faction stems from the cabinet system. The imperial power and power, one fades and the other grows. The power is another  For a few, everyone wants to be the head and assistant. The monarch and his ministers are jealous, and the cabinet ministers fight each other, and each invokes the six ministries in order to gain the power of the ministries. Combined with the science and way, the political struggle is even worse, and the party struggle intensifies."

    "Can cronies rule the world?" Zhao Han asked.

    Chen Zilong said: "The world should be ruled by the party of gentlemen, and the villains should not be allowed to form a party to occupy high positions."

    "This statement is different!" A scholar suddenly stood up.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Please report your name."

    The scholar cupped his hands and said: "Shanyin Zhang Dai, the name is Zongzi."

    Zhang Dai?

    Zhao Han smiled even more happily: "Please tell me, Zongzi Zhang."

    Zhang Dai rolled up his sleeves and said: "There are no villains in the Donglin Party and the Fushe Party? There are no gentlemen in the Eunuch Party? How can there be a party of gentlemen and a party of villains. I agree with Hou Chaozong's (Hou Fangyu)'s "Theory of Cliques"  Cliques cannot be divided into gentlemen and villains, but should be divided into the party at the top and the party at the bottom.”

    "What is the party above and the party below?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhang Dai said: "Those who live in the temple are the party above; those who are in the rivers and lakes are the party below. The party at the top reports state affairs, and the party below assists. However, in terms of party disputes, the party at the top is less likely to be a disaster."  , The party below is the worst disaster. A party above is the combination of the advantages and disadvantages of countless parties below, and the things it does are also the aggregation of countless advantages and disadvantages.”

    "Wonderful!" Zhao Han clapped his hands in praise.

    What this means is that there are people in power in a party, and there are countless party members in opposition standing behind it.

    Once a party member is in power, his words and deeds cannot represent himself, but represent the interests of countless party members behind him.  Even if a gentleman becomes the leader of the party, he is still swayed by the interests of countless party members, and he cannot govern according to his own wishes.

    &nbs??, combined with the words of Confucius and Mencius, and combined with my own thinking, suddenly became enlightened.

    Three articles discuss the relationship between the monarch and the people and the ministers, establish the responsibilities of the monarch, the people and the ministers, and build a complete national concept in this way.

    ?Put the people first, rule the country with the king and ministers.

    The people of the world are the foundation of a country, and the monarch and his ministers must serve the people.  Wanmin does not specifically refer to the gentry, but the head of Guizhou as the main body.  From now on, he can no longer be called Junfu, nor can he be called Parent Officer.

    This kind of simple truth was very shocking in the late Ming Dynasty, even though Confucianism had already made similar remarks.

    To put it more solemnly, the three chapters on the monarch, the people and the ministers are the foundation of Zhao Han's country!

    The original, the original, the beginning.

    ?The original king, the original minister, and the original people, that is, to explore the true colors of the king, minister, and people.

    Once this is clarified, the policy of governing the country will be clear, which can be called the "Three Principles".  These three articles will be taken as compulsory courses in elementary schools in the future. With the popularization of elementary schools, all the people will know and let the "Three Principles" be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

    Officials may deteriorate, "Datong Ji" may be shelved, and the "Three Elements Principles" printed in the minds of the people, but no one can erase it out of thin air!

    Regardless of the shock of the scholars, Zhao Han said with a smile: "Masters, have a feast at noon, and I will take you to see the Datong army in the afternoon!"

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 327 [Onlookers training soldiers] (addition for Shangxian Qitian boss)

    Liu Rushi and Lin Xue were a little disappointed. More than a hundred scholars from various provinces, all of whom were well-known talents, did not discuss literature and art when they got together.

    Lin Xue brought all the painting boxes and planned to create on the spot.

    Liu Rushi also secretly brought a qin, if a scholar makes a masterpiece on the spot, he can play the qin and sing immediately.

    It's a pity that political issues have been discussed all morning.

    "I was wrong, so I don't need to call you here?" Chen Qianji smiled wryly.

    As the director of Luling County, he wanted to organize some atmosphere groups, but the atmosphere at the scene was too intense.

    At noon, the preserved fruit was put away and meals were served.

    Ordinary family stir-fry, but with wine and meat, the guests and hosts enjoy themselves.

    In the afternoon, I went ashore by boat and went to the outskirts of the city to visit the army training.

    When crossing the river, Chen Zilong suddenly asked in a low voice: "Brother Yizhong, do you really think cronies are causing trouble in the world?"

    Xia Yunyi sighed: "Once the party struggle started, it was endless. Today, it is nothing more than a struggle for power. Even Fushe hides many villains who speculate. Where is there any party of gentlemen?"

    "Hey, let's not talk about this. The founding king, how can there be any party disputes," Chen Zilong said with emotion, "From my point of view, the Ji'an General Army Mansion is quite like the mansion of Emperor Hongwu, and the Military Academy is the Five Armies  A replica of the Governor's Mansion. To move the capital to Nanjing as the general town, how to customize is fundamental. Should there be a cabinet system?"

    Xia Yunyi shook his head: "Could it be possible to restore the previous prime minister system?"

    Chen Zilong frowned and said, "It's really difficult. The prime minister has the disadvantages of the prime minister, and the cabinet also has the disadvantages of the cabinet. How can there be any perfect system?"

    People like Chen Zilong, Fang Yizhi, and Hou Fangyu all saw it clearly and wanted to save Daming from the system.

    It's a pity that they became officials too late, and they were soft-spoken.

    ? Historically, the contents of their submissions were different, but they all hoped that Chongzhen would first straighten out the powers and responsibilities of the cabinet, the department, and the six ministries.

    How can we govern the country if the powers and responsibilities of various central agencies are not clear?

    Chen Zilong has a memorial, and anxiety can be seen between the lines, except that Chongzhen has no responsibility.  The translation is like this: "Whatever your majesty wants to do, don't think about enlightening the ministers, just do it persistently, and don't give up if you encounter obstacles Your majesty wants to push the executive order, don't discuss it with the minister repeatedly, let the minister  Just follow orders, it’s no use listening to too many ministers’ opinions!”

    But Chongzhen just didn't take responsibility.

    I want to do something, but I don't say it clearly, and I suggest a minister to say it.  If the voice of opposition to this matter was too great, Chongzhen would not do it immediately, and the minister who raised the matter would be blamed.

    ? If he wanted to implement any decree, Chongzhen was afraid of making a mistake again, so he must repeatedly discuss with the ministers, and the ministers were responsible for the troubles.

    The news of Chongzhen was not blocked. He not only opened up the way of speaking, asked the officials to give more advice, and even asked the common people to go to the public directly.

    Too much news equals no news.

    What you say, what I say, the public says the public is right, and the woman says the woman is right.  Chongzhen was faced with countless information all day long, and couldn't make correct decisions at all.

    Due to this disadvantage, Fang Yizhi proposed to abolish the Sanweimen (Kedao Cilin) ??in the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, so as not to let the idiot officials talk nonsense, and the corresponding actual positions were changed to Liu Cao.

    At this moment, what Chen Zilong thought was not about being an official and fighting for power, nor was he debating whether the division of land was correct, but about assisting Zhao Han in establishing a system.

    Chen Zilong said: "After the establishment of the new dynasty, the Sixth Division must no longer have the power of supervision, otherwise there will be troubles sooner or later. If there are no bad things about the Sixth Division in the Ming Dynasty, party struggles can at least be reduced by half!"

    The cabinet is the decision-making body, the six ministries are the executive bodies, and the six departments are sandwiched between them as lubricants and supervisors.

    This design has its own problems, and it requires supervision and lubrication.  Once things are done sincerely, if the supervision is not supervised, the lubrication is not lubricated, the machine of Daming will directly fail.

    Zhang Dai leaned over and said: "It is true that we should go to the public to discuss matters. The six departments can be retained, but the supervisory power must be abolished!"

    It may not be enough to restore those scholars in the society and let them innovate the system.  However, they are very good at picking out the problems of Ming Dynasty's system. Their various suggestions can prevent Zhao Han from repeating the mistakes of Ming Dynasty.

    Several people discussed all the way, and they have already arrived at the school grounds in the suburbs of Beijing.

    I saw thousands of people lined up, standing still, like thousands of sculptures.

    Lu Xiangguan was startled and said, "What kind of practice is this?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Let's take it as a martial arts practice."

    When Qi Jiguang trained soldiers, he first practiced in the formation, and then he became familiar with the orders. Standing in the military posture was requested by Zhao Han.

    The rest are badSoldiers, who in the world can defeat them?  Even if they meet the Manchus outside the pass, I am afraid that they will be able to fight and win, and within ten years they will definitely retake Liaodong!  "

    Zhao Han brought these scholars to let them see the might of the army, so as to prevent some people from harboring unnecessary illusions.

    "well!"

    Chen Zilong sighed secretly, it would be great if these powerful soldiers could be used by Daming, how could they have lost cities and lands all these years?

    But after thinking about it, the white soldiers and Qi's army are not weak, they were killed by civilian and military generals.  If these strong soldiers were sent to Daming, it would probably be abolished in a year, because the military pay would definitely be deducted, and the strong soldiers were all fed with silver.

    Chen Zilong asked Zhao Han: "The general town has such a strong army, how much is the military expenditure?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "The military salary of each soldier is only 70% of that of the Guanning Army. However, all the real salary is paid, and the daily food is better. The regular soldiers must see meat every day. This is also a big expense."

    "You must see meat every day"

    This remark stunned the scholars. Many scholars who were born as small landlords dare not eat meat every day!

    It's no wonder that Zhao Han occupies territory in several provinces. He only has more than 30,000 regular soldiers under his command, and he has to spend a lot of money just for daily food.

    While the scholars were observing the military training, Zhao Han suddenly asked Liu Rushi, "Are you a civil servant in the county government?"

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 328 [Only waiting for the first sound of the new thunder]

    Chen Zilong had seen Liu Rushi a long time ago, and he was a little emotional, but didn't think much about it.

    ? For the so-called scholars who care about the world, famous prostitutes are just emotional comfort when their careers are not going well.

    Today is the time of the Great Revolution, and the "Nongzheng Quanshu" edited and reviewed by himself has just been praised by Zhao Han in public. It is obvious that it will be reused. Chen Zilong is full of national affairs.

    When he saw Zhao Han and Liu Rushi talking, he immediately woke up and deliberately pretended not to know each other to avoid suspicion.

    Liu Rushi was like a man, abandoning his soft and girlish attitude, and replied simply and neatly, "Qi reported to the general town, I am an official in the Propaganda Department of Luling County, and I passed the exam by myself, not because of someone."

    "Do things well." Zhao Han praised with a smile.

    "Obey!"

    Liu Rushi replied sonorously, feeling that his tone was a bit contrived, so he just laughed there.

    "Haha." Zhao Han also found it interesting.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    The scholars around laughed, but they didn't know what they were laughing at.

    Liu Rushi suddenly said to the scholars: "Masters, Zongzhen is also a child prodigy. I once got Zongzhen's old poem. I wonder if you have heard of it?"

    As long as the poems of the superiors are not badly written, everyone will definitely praise them.

    Zhang Dai was very interested, cupped his hands and said, "All ears."

    Everyone pricked up their ears, and Liu Rushi immediately recited: "Don't sing the song of eternal regret, the world also has its own Milky Way. In Shihao Village, there are more tears than in the Palace of Longevity when the husband and wife parted."

    "Good poem!"

    Chen Zilong immediately understood, and praised: "The poet's entrusted feelings are also the ambitions of last resort. This ambition is not only for self-suit, but also for the far-reaching!"

    This is not only a precise flattery, but also Chen Zilong's true thoughts.

    He believes that poetry expresses aspirations, not only to express personal emotions, but also to reflect society and the times.  In later generations, he was known as the "Ming Dynasty Poetry Army".

    Liu Rushi recited Zhao Han's poem, and Chen Zilong elaborated two more sentences, which immediately set the tone of the new dynasty's poetry creation: care for the suffering of the people!

    In other words, don't be sad all day long.

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "Don't think too much, gentlemen. Poems and articles are also very good for expressing emotions. I especially like Zongzi's "Looking at the Snow in the Lake Heart Pavilion."

    All the scholars envied Chen Zilong before, and now they envy Zhang Dai, and they are the ones who are simple in the king's heart.

    Zhang Dai cupped his hands and said: "The humorous prose is easy to laugh at."

    Zhao Han was quite emotional, and said to Zhang Dai: "December of the fifth year of Chongzhen, you went to the West Lake to enjoy the snow In that year, I first proposed "Geweilun", which offended many Taoists.  Master, lured me to the county government to arrest me and put me in jail."

    Regarding Zhao Han's life experience, there have been many rumors, and no one can figure out which one is true.

    Lu Xiangguan couldn't help asking: "Is the general town really setting fire to the county government?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I couldn't bear the bird's temper. So I killed my master and Dian Shi, burned down the county government office, and wandered around with my teacher."

    "But Mr. Pang from the General Military Mansion?" Chen Qianji couldn't help asking.

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "It's Mr. Pang. Mr. Pang is a scholar of Liaodong General. His whole family was killed by Mandarin slaves, and was ostracized by Ming officials. He said he wanted to rebel, and I said I wanted to rebel. They hit it off and rebelled."  . Haha, it’s a chance meeting.”

    While everyone sighed, they were also fascinated and could imagine the scene.

    A young man who was about to be framed and imprisoned single-handedly killed officials and burned the government office. With his half-blind teacher, he wandered around the rivers and lakes and embarked on the road of rebellion. In a few years, he broke into a huge career.

    In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, due to political corruption and intense social conflicts, heroism was highly respected.

    While they despise generals, they like heroes at the same time. Zhao Han and Pang Chunlai are undoubtedly heroes.

    Liu Rushi was sure that Zhao Han was good at poetry, and took the opportunity to say: "Today's winter solstice, celebrities gather, why don't the general town compose a poem? To encourage scholars all over the world."

    Zhao Han glanced at Liu Rushi, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Liu wants me to be the Emperor of Poetry?"

    "Don't dare." Liu Rushi lowered his eyebrows hastily.

    Xia Yunyi cupped his hands and said: "I would like to ask the general town to give me some advice."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Since it is the winter solstice, let's come up with a song related to the winter solstice. Creation is speechless but affectionate, and every time it is cold, it feels spring. There are thousands of reds and purples arranged, just waiting for the first sound of the new thunder."

    "The general town is full of pride, and I admire it!" All the scholars praised.

    A very ordinary poem, combined with Zhao Han's identity, instantly appeared extremely heroic and magnificent.

    &nbs??I really wanted to kick him over, smiled and said, "I don't know."

    Qian Qianyi went to ask other scholars again, but still couldn't find out, so he finally wrote a letter to the county government, and had someone deliver the letter to Liu Rushi's work unit the next day.

    Liu Rushi not only received a letter from Qian Qianyi, but also a letter from Xie Sanbin, saying that she would organize a literary meeting in Bailuzhou and invite her to discuss literature and art.

    "What do they mean?" Back at the residence, Liu Rushi asked Lin Xue.

    Lin Xue said with a smile: "They thought it was the old dynasty, and they only regarded women as playthings. But they didn't think carefully, my sister is an official of the county government, how can she marry them as a concubine? Isn't it a slap in the face of the general town!  My sister met them before?"

    Liu Rushi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it once."

    "Then don't pay attention to it," Lin Xue said, "I'm a good woman, and I should keep my body clean."

    Liu Rushi was baffled when he received the letters from Qian Qianyi and Xie Sanbin.  But while she was sitting in the room, she suddenly wanted to write a letter to Zhao Han, and immediately wrote a love poem to express her secret love.

    After the love poem was written, Liu Rushi read it silently by herself. She blushed as she read it, fearing that Zhao Han would think the poem was too frivolous.

    After thinking about it, I simply copied an old work and sent it to Zhao Han for comments.

    This is a poem in mourning for Yu Qian, which was written by You Yu Shaobao Temple in Hangzhou last year.

    Presenting this poem is also a faint expression of reverence for Zhao Han: "Shao Bao is a peerless man, and his fame is sent to Liao Kuo Since the public replaced Ling, several people have called Luo Zhuo. Therefore, hikers, weeping overlord."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 329 [A Scholar with Nothing Useful]

    ,

    There is a mailbox at the gate of the General Military Mansion.

    Anyone can post letters in it, and officials are not allowed to open it. Zhao Han will personally open it every ten days.

    There were a lot of messy letters, basically, Zhao Han just glanced at them, and then threw them into the trash can for recycling.  The paper-making materials for military tickets and official tickets are mulberry paper plus official document waste paper, and the waste paper of government offices in various places must be collected uniformly.

    Occasionally, for letters with something to say, Zhao Han will ask the secretary to come over, properly record the contents of the letter, and then hand it over to the relevant yamen for processing.

    Zheng Sen has come back and is sitting next to him to help open the letter: "The deposed North Korean ruler of Jeju Island, his eyes were covered with lime, he is almost completely blind, and his health is not good. Hu (Hu Dinggui) and Wang (Wang Yaochen)  The general said that when the Shanghai navy is ready, they can go to Ganghwa Island to rob the deposed son of Joseon."

    "That has to wait. Training the navy is not something that happens overnight." Zhao Han scanned a letter in two seconds and threw it into the trash can.

    Zheng Sen also said: "The horses in Jeju Island are too short, and they can barely be ridden, but on the battlefield, they will definitely not be able to outrun the tall horses. Two generals, please collect high-quality horse breeds as soon as possible."

    "For the time being, we can only make do with it." Zhao Han expressed helplessness.

    Zhao Han is already collecting horse breeds. Governments around the world are willing to buy horses with a shoulder height of more than 1.3 meters at a high price.  Although it is very short, at least it is taller than a Jeju horse, which is better than nothing.

    It is pure nonsense to say that among ten horses, only one or two can be war horses.

    All horses can be war horses as long as their shoulder height reaches a certain standard.  But it must be carefully fed, and a large amount of concentrate must be fed. This feeding method is too extravagant for poor horses.

    Therefore, when there are enough horses, the best ones are selected to take good care of them, and the rest of the horses are fed as rough horses.

    In the situation of extreme shortage of horses, it is even possible to fight on mules Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng have done it. Some old soldiers marched on mules, and they had to rest for a while after riding for a while.

    Zhao Han chatted with Zheng Sen while reading the letter, but suddenly he stopped talking while holding the letter.

    Zheng Sen didn't peek at it either, just lowered his head and continued to open the letter.

    Zhao Han read the poem mourning Yu Qian, and couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, Liu Rushi's poems were clearly in transition.

    Eleven years before Chongzhen, Liu Rushi's poems did not escape the stereotype of traditional courtesans.

    However, as the current situation became more and more corrupt, Liu Rushi's poems became more and more exciting, and it can even be said to become resentful and heroic.

    "There are many heroes in the world, but my generation is not ordinary. Songyang sword energy is also difficult to obtain, and Zhongtiao's career is slim I want to take advantage of this cloud and watch the five lakes proudly with you."

    "Excellent and undisciplined, generous and unrestrained king. Talking about the affairs of the world, I have been hurt all the time Reading and hunting, disdain to barbarians. It is a pity that this promise will not be promoted for ten years. When you meet the king's green weapon, it is often endless  Hidden. It's hard to pay a confidant, and Zhong Ye is always unhappy"

    "Your words are upright and uncommon, and people don't know what to look forward to. He was quite a hero back then, and he is still as fierce as this. I smell the dance and sigh, and all the colors of the rivers and lakes are galloping. That is to say, there are so many rains today, and the emperor treats Yan Si very much."

    "The husband will be easy to meet, and the long-handed halberd will be difficult to do. Once pulled up, he looks like a dragon, handsome and secluded, and supports the wind. With a big feather in his waist and an arrow in his hand, his skill is so high that he can leap on a horse and be called a master Qianqiu will hang down  The name of the name is due to the strife for the heart of the world. Alas, the phoenix is ??all over the wild, and sometimes people don’t know it like a mountain.”

    "Your family's Beihai Rao has a different strategy, and Tu Si knows it is very handsome. Once the heart is hidden, there will be no suspicion in the world for three years The king, Xiao Zhuang, will hold his wrists, and the city will beat drums and birds will cry at night. Great men and heroes are not easy to come by. Great men and heroes are hard to come by.  It’s not easy to get, and it’s not my disciples who get it.”

    Just looking at these verses, can you guess that it was written by a courtesan?

    In another time and space, the mountains and rivers are broken, the seas are flowing, and the lives of the people are in dire straits.  When Liu Rushi wrote these verses, he probably fantasized that he was a man, carrying a bow and leaping on a horse to personally go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

    It's a pity that she is just a famous prostitute, and there are no heroes and warriors around her, only a literary master who is too cold.

    After Zhao Han finished reading the poem in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

    I am afraid that Liu Rushi in this time and space will not write such passionate poems, because they are all forced out by violent social turmoil.

    Better not have it!

    Zhao Han thought it was very interesting, so he could copy a few poems to answer, and by the way, through Liu Rushi's hand, he used poems to convey his expectations for literati.

    The previous two poems were not copied by Zhao Han casually, and they both contained certain deep meanings.

    Sealed in a blank envelope, Zhao Han handed it to Zheng Sen and said, "Give it to Liu Yin, the official of the Propaganda and Education Section of the Luling County Government."

    Zheng Sen immediately went to run errands, he showed his badge and cameI just want Qian Qianyi to think too much.

    Wu Wenli said: "Zongzhen is a real poet. The two poems before were not bad. What poems did you write this time?"

    Lin Xue took out what she had copied: "Please watch it, gentlemen."

    Xie Sanbin took it over, and recited: "Gift to the Monarchs": Immortals and Buddhas have not yet been completed, and only know that the lonely night is not peaceful.  One is a scholar. Don't worry about poems and scrolls, and spring birds and autumn insects make their own voices."

    After all the scholars listened, the audience fell silent for an instant.

    ?Including Qian Qianyi, all of them were deeply touched by this poem and thought of their own circumstances in these years.

    "A hundred useless is a scholar, a hundred useless is a scholar"

    Wu Wenli pondered over and over again, thinking of his mother, Cheng Shi, who was widowed at a young age and raised him carefully.  When I was young, I was a scholar, and all the villagers praised the child prodigy.  Later, he failed in many trials, failed in the imperial examination, and bumped into walls everywhere and was looked down upon by others.  After winning the imperial examination, he was respected somehow, but he couldn't pass the Jinshi examination, and he couldn't fulfill his ambitions as an official.

    The world is in chaos, the country is overthrown, and I can only watch. Isn't it a scholar who is useless?

    The wind is full of elegiac air, and the mud is stained with Bo Xingming. These two sentences are more like a portrayal of his half life, as if this poem is written by himself!

    Wu Wenli stood up tragically: "The general town knows me, and I should know the general town. Please leave, I have returned to my hometown as an official, so I don't deserve you to waste time here."

    "Farewell!"

    A few more scholars got up, and they didn't participate in the literary meeting. They all chose to go back to their hometowns to do things.

    It is useless to explain the truth to these people, a poem is enough to make them empathize.

    After reading this poem, those who still refuse to leave are purely stubborn people!

    Qian Qianyi's focus was on the relationship between Zhao Han and Liu Rushi.  He is not afraid of not being an official, but he is afraid that he will offend Zhao Han, and it is not worth it for a woman.

 Text New chapter under review

    I blame Lao Wang for citing examples, writing sensitive words, and the status of the new chapter has been completed, and it is estimated that it will be released tomorrow.

    The third chapter will not be published today, so as not to skip chapters.

    Don't wait for the update, it will be sent out tomorrow.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 330 [Datong Zhengyin] (addition for Shangxian Qitian)

    Qian Qianyi was afraid that Zhao Han would misunderstand something, so he went to the General Military Mansion the next day to ask for an interview.

    He was taken into a courtyard in a daze, but saw that the courtyard was full of people.  In addition to Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others, there are also Chen Maosheng, Liu Rushi and many celebrities, and even famous actors and actresses from all over the world.

    "Mr. Yu Shan came just in time, let's sit down and discuss matters together." Zhao Han smiled.

    The personal guard moved a stool, and Qian Qianyi sat down in front of him, not knowing what meeting he was having today.

    Zhao Han explained: "I want to standardize the languages ??of various places, what can Mr. Yu Shan do to implement it?"

    Qian Qianyi replied: "Call together scholars and revise the rhyme."

    ? Zhao Han shook his head and said: "It's not about correct pronunciation and elegant words, but for scholars to communicate with the heads of Guizhou and other provinces."

    "That's impossible!"

    Qian Qianyi was so frightened that he stood up immediately, cupped his hands and said, "General Town, doing this is tantamount to eradicating local sayings. Forcible promotion may cause big trouble."

    "well!"

    Zhao Han sighed.

    Zhao Han has been working on standardizing the language of various places, but the more he understands it, the less he dares to issue orders.

    Forcibly promoting the language of a certain place as "Mandarin" is not only eliminating the dialects of various places, but also overturning the phonological rules of thousands of years in China.

    This is doing right to the scholars all over the world!

    In ancient China, there has always been "Mandarin", namely: Yayan, Zhengyin, and Guanhua.

    The orthodox sounds of the past dynasties are all inherited in one continuous line, and they are all the reading sounds of Luoyang Taixue.

    Luoyang Taixue reading sound, also known as Zhongyuan Yayan.

    It is not a Henan dialect, but a set of pronunciation rules, which regulates pronunciation through Fanqie.

    As long as you have learned this set of rules, no matter whether you are from Beijing, Guangzhou, Chengdu, or Kunming, no matter whether your dialect has four tones, five tones, six tones, or seven tones, everyone can communicate very smoothly!

    This set of rules only restricts the sound category, not the sound value.

    Therefore, the pronunciation of reading in each place will be very different, but they are common to each other.

    This set of pronunciation rules has been an important factor in maintaining the unification of China for two thousand years, and its great role is not inferior to the unification of writing.  It can integrate various dialects into the same system. In the ancient society without radio and television, this is the most convenient and effective means of phonetic notation.

    What Zhao Han has to do now is to break it!

    Having said so much, you may not understand it, so it must be more intuitive.

    ? Modern Chinese is a secondary institution: Putonghua-Dialect.

    In ancient times, it belonged to a three-level structure: the rules of Yayan - the pronunciation of reading in various places - the dialect of each place.

    Chen Maosheng said suddenly: "It's not impossible to force the promotion, don't we singers just remember it?"

    "Not bad." The famous opera actors present echoed.

    Regardless of the difference between the north and the south, all operas in the country, the chanting is the authentic official language.

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "If it is forced to be promoted, should the correct pronunciation be based on the elegant dialect of the Central Plains, or the old dialect of Jiangzuo?"

    "It doesn't matter." Everyone laughed.

    There are two authoritative works in the Ming Dynasty, one is called "Hongwu Zhengyun" and the other is called "Jiaotai Yun".

    Due to different authors, "Hongwu Zhengyun" is biased towards Jianghuai dialect, and "Jiaotai Rhyme" is biased towards the original Chinese dialect.

    Li Banghua suddenly said: "Let's take "Hongwu Zhengyun" as the standard. In the early Ming Dynasty, the fields were farmed in various places, and Jianghuai dialect was used in a wider area."

    "Really want to do this?" Qian Qianyi was horrified.

    Zhao Han said: "I am not trying to abolish Yayan, but to use Jianghuai dialect as the criterion, so that people everywhere can communicate in language."

    Qian Qianyi said: "The general town will implement three-year education. From now on, there will be scholars everywhere. Everyone can understand the pronunciation of reading, and naturally everyone can communicate without hindrance. Why force the promotion of Jianghuai dialect?"

    Zhao Han explained: "I plan to compile a dictionary and remake the method of Qieyin (Pinyin). In this way, children in elementary school can cut the pronunciation by themselves in two or three months, and learn new words by flipping through the dictionary."

    "How can there be such an easy method in the world?" Qian Qianyi couldn't imagine it at all.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "How will you know if you don't try it? First determine the model tone, how many tones should it be? Do you want to keep the incoming tone?"

    This question stunned everyone.

    Qian Qianyi bit the bullet and said: "Seven tones, as for the entrance tones, you should keep it."

    Zhao Han teased, "Did Emperor Chongzhen speak with a voice?"

    "No." Li Banghua and Qian Qianyi shook their heads at the same time.

    &nbsIt's all the same principle.

    And this principle comes from the traditional Yayan, which is the set of reading pronunciation rules that are compatible with various dialects.

    Zhao Han pointed to the blackboard: "These are initials, and these are finals."

    Those who have learned the punctuation method of Yayan can understand it as soon as they hear it. Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi immediately understand what those letters are for.

    Even Zhao Han didn't need to explain the meaning of the two words initials and finals.

    Sound, rhyme, and mother are themselves phonological terms.

    Seeing their reactions, Zhao Han was immediately happier. It was easy for the scholars to accept, all they had to do was forcefully memorize the pronunciation of the letters.

    "You read it yourself." Zhao Han said.

    Next to each Latin letter, there are Chinese phonetic notation, and Zhao Han also wrote several examples of the combination of sounds and vowels.

    The two looked at the Chinese phonetic notation for a while, and Zhao Han wrote the four tones of modern Chinese: "Here are the tones. I created four by myself, and you created the remaining three."

    Qian Qianyi randomly selected a few Chinese characters, tried to use the pinyin method to cut the sound, and suddenly sighed: "Although it is superficial, it is really easy for Mongolian children to learn. But it has deviated from the method of correct rhyme. Once this correct pronunciation is popularized, in time, local dialects from all over the world will become more and more popular.  will perish."

    Zhao Han said: "Language, like characters, has been changing since ancient times, and the direction of change is from complex to simple. I not only want to simplify the phonetic rhythm, but also simplify Chinese characters. If there are multiple ways of writing, choose the simplest and most reasonable one.  .”

    Qian Qianyi said with emotion: "The ambition of the general town can only be glimpsed today."

    Zhao Han does not engage in forced simplification, but just chooses simple characters as the standard characters.

    For example, "wu" and "wu" have been used for hundreds of years, and their meaning and usage are exactly the same. Why not use "wu" as a standard glyph?

    Liu Rushi looked at Zhao Han's leaving voice, and said to himself: "A really great man!"

    Qian Qianyi pretended not to hear it, he didn't dare to provoke this strange woman again, and he was even more afraid of offending that great man just now.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 331 [Return to the South]

    In the blink of an eye, it was the spring of the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and it had been a month since Qian Qianyi received the errand.

    Beijing.

    Hou Xun, Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Fang Kongshao, Xiong Wencan, Li Fengshen all these "criminal ministers" walked out of the prison in unison.

    They were released relatively late, because their family members rushed from the south, carrying money all the way to the Ministry of Punishment to redeem them.

    The imperial court was completely out of money, and Chongzhen was trying to find a way, and one of them was to punish officials with money to redeem their sins.

    The effect of making money is not bad, and it has not attracted too much criticism.

    Because many of the criminals in the imperial prison were imprisoned for messing things up, or were even held accountable and imprisoned for no reason.

    "Everyone cherishes it, farewell!"

    Li Fengshen bowed his hands to the crowd and got into the carriage hired by his son Li Wen.

    Lu Xiangsheng also cupped his fists and said, "Farewell!"

    Lu Xiangjin, Lu Xiangsheng's younger brother, hired a carriage with Li Wen, and they were going back to Jiangnan together.

    "well!"

    Sun Chuanting shook his head and walked in another direction.

    Xiong Wencan led his son straight to his in-laws' mansion.  He and the cabinet minister Yao Minggong are fellow villagers, and they were married very early.  Xiong Wencan was appreciated by Yang Sichang, largely because of Yao Minggong's recommendation.

    Xiong Wencan has already made up his mind to say goodbye to his in-laws and leave Beijing.

    ?Fang Kongzhang, Fang Yizhi, Hou Xun, Hou Fangyu, two pairs of father and son walked slowly.

    "How is the situation in the south?" Hou Xun asked.

    Hou Fangyu replied: "Jiangzuo, Jiangyou, Guangdong, and Fujian are all controlled by Zhao Han. Huguang is divided into two, and the area south of the Yangtze River is changed to Hunan Province."

    "It seems that thief Zhao has already planned to occupy the whole Huguang," Fang Kongzhang said with a smile, "In the future, it will be re-divided. Only the south of Dongting Lake will be called Hunan."

    Hou Xun shook his head and sighed: "I have been in prison for three years, things have changed and people have changed, and the current situation has become so corrupt." He stopped and turned around, and asked, "Brother Qianfu, are you planning to go back to your hometown to join that bandit Zhao?"

    "Let's talk about it later." Fang Kongxuan answered ambiguously.

    The two of them had nothing to say, they walked together for a while, and then parted ways.

    After parting, Hou Fangyu said to his father: "The intruders are raging in Henan, and all places are forming villages to protect themselves, and our family is also recruiting troops to form villages."

    "We'll talk about it when we go home!" Hou Xun said.

    The gentry and aristocrats in Henan have completely entered the troubled times mode.

    Often one or a few families build stockades and arm their slaves, not seeking to kill thieves, but only seeking to protect themselves.  When the rogues came, they would send food. Under normal circumstances, as long as there was enough food, the rogues would not bother to waste their energy in attacking.

    Another street.

    Fang Yizhi said to his father: "Uncle has become the prefect of Shizhou."

    "Zhizhouwei?" Fang Kongzheng confirmed.

    Fang Yizhi explained: "Zhao Han changed Shizhouwei to Shizhoufu, and the government was located in Shizhou (Enshi), and Badong and Jianshi were also included under it. Shinan, Rongmei, Shiliang, Jin  Dong and other chieftains were all converted to native land, and some chieftains were revoked."

    "Didn't the chieftain rebel?" Fang Kongxuan asked in surprise.

    Fang Yizhi said: "From the summer harvest last year until now, Zhao Han's Datong army has been fighting with the chieftain of Shizhou for seven months."

    Fang Kongzhang sighed and said: "Tie Zhao is still in a hurry. Reforming the land and returning to the local people requires long-term management. How can it be done overnight?"

    Fang Yizhi said:

    "It's different this time. After Zhao Han occupied Shizhou, he immediately allocated land to the military households in Shizhou, Jiannan and other guards. He also allocated land to the surrounding Sinicized Miao people (mostly Tujia) and declared that the entire Shizhou  The government exempted the land tax for three years, and encouraged the Han and Miao people to open up wasteland."

    "After gaining the allegiance of the Sinicized Miao people, they used these Miao people as guides to cut off the disobedient chieftains around them and forcibly reform the land to return to the local people. With the Han people as the main officials and the Sinicized Miao people as the assistant officials, they were ordered not to discriminate against the Miao people, and the Han and Miao people were promoted everywhere.  One policy."

    "Their farmers' associations are very powerful. Among the Miao people, farmers' associations have also been formed. Those Miao people who can't even speak Chinese, because they don't have to do corvee because of the distribution of land and tax exemption, they all help in turn.  The government is going to beat the toast."

    "After fighting for half a year, almost all the soldiers under the little chieftain ran to Zhao Han's side."

    There are many ethnic minorities in Enshi, most of whom are descendants of the ancient Ba people, but they were collectively called Miao people and Tuman in the Ming Dynasty.

    A large number of ethnic minority compatriots, including military households everywhere, are living in dire straits.

    Allocate fields for them, bring them sweet potatoes and other crops, exempt them from grain tax for three years, and exempt them from various corvees.  The revolutionary enthusiasm was immediately ignited, some little toastIt was written for me and other northern scholars!  "

    The rapid spread of this poem is naturally inseparable from the credit of Xu Ying.

    Xu Ying has moved to live in Huai'an Prefecture, and in various counties along the canal, she goes to schools to distribute promotional materials.

    Every month, there are scholars who go south to seek refuge in Mingzhu together.

    Especially those poor scholars, they can't see hope in the north.  So they sold their only family property and went to the south like "moths to a flame". They might even starve to death halfway.

    Staying in the north is also death!

    Xu Ying began to hire ships to sail back and forth along the canals in Shandong and Nanzhili.  As long as you can recite the original text of "University", you can take a boat to the south for free, and provide simple meals.

    These scholars left their homes and careers to go south, and Zhao Han can be hired with confidence, without so many interests involved.

    Lu Xiangsheng and the others simply changed to the "Scholar Ship".

    In the cabin, there are many poor scholars, and almost all of them have starved to death.

    Looking at their situation, we can see that they are all dressed in rags, and there are only two or three people in each family on average, and some are even alone.

    "Don't be depressed, gentlemen, the world is so big, there must be a place for us!"

    A scholar stood up, wearing a tattered Confucian uniform, raised his arms and shouted: "The journey of the great way, the world is for the public, select the virtuous and capable, preach the faith and repair the harmony. Therefore, people should not only kiss their relatives, not only their sons, so that the old have  In the end, the strong will be useful, the young will be strong, and those who are lonely, widowed and sick will be supported"

    The voice became louder and louder, and everyone in the cabin was reciting. In the dim light, people's eyes sparkled.

    "Under Heaven!"

    "Under Heaven!"

    The scholars who guide the emotions of the people can be regarded as trustees, but they are indeed real, and they belong to the newly developed northern Datong Society scholars.

    Lu Xiangsheng's blood was boiling with excitement, but at the same time his hair was terrified. He felt that the power in front of him could overturn everything!

    After coming to Nanjing by boat, someone read the notice at the pier.

    However, Qian Qianyi didn't know who to ask for help, so he directly posted a notice inviting famous experts to compile "Datong Zhengyin" together, and the office location was in a garden left by Wei Guogong.

    The north can't even afford to eat, and the south is actually compiling phonology books.

    A group of scholars burst into tears just by looking at the notice.

    Prosperous classics, they escaped from hell, but they seemed to see a glorious and prosperous age.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 332【Physics】

    The Xu family of Wei Guogong has more than a dozen gardens in Nanjing.

    The editorial team of "Datong Zhengyin" was arranged in Sijinyi East Garden, where there are more than ten pavilions alone.

    Fang Yizhi first returned to his hometown in Tongcheng, and then went back to Nanjing to apply for editorial staff with several large boxes of manuscripts.  Among the several large boxes of manuscripts, there are about two to three catties of manuscripts, which are devoted to the study of phonological knowledge.

    He has finished compiling "Qie Yun Shengyuan", "Medical Association", and "Deleting Materia Medica" still needs to visit and collect information.

    As for "Little Knowledge of Physics", he has been writing it for nine years.

    "Excuse me, is Mr. Yu Shan here?" Fang Yizhi asked.

    The concierge is a disabled soldier, and he put out a brochure saying: "Register yourself, report your name and place of origin, and you can enter after receiving a sign."

    Fang Yizhi entered the garden with the manuscript in his arms. In the lobby of a pavilion, more than twenty people were arguing together.

    When Fang Yizhi came to the lobby, no one paid any attention, because everyone was busy arguing.

    Standing by and listening carefully, Fang Yizhi was stunned.

    How can there be such a compilation of Zhengyin?

    ? Modern Chinese is composed of initials, finals, and tones, and ancient Chinese is similar.

    However, in the detailed specification of Yayan in the past dynasties, there are only the rules of cutting the rhyme between the initial consonant and the final consonant, and the requirements for the tone are very general.  Therefore, the same character can be cut into similar phonology by different dialects, achieving the effect of "harmony but difference" and mutual communication.

    That is, only the sound category is restricted, not the sound value.

    Zhao Han's request is outrageous, he must determine the sound value of each word!

    Sitting together, Qian Qianyi and his group were almost out of their minds.  Even if Jianghuai dialect is used as a model, the accents of each state and county are slightly different. Which hometown's pronunciation value should be used as the standard?

    ? So far, the progress has been zero, and I have been arguing all day long, and no one is willing to give in.

    Now it is divided into two groups, one group thinks that Nanjing dialect should be used as the standard, and the other group thinks that Huizhou dialect should be used as the standard.  If Fang Yizhi joins in again, it is estimated that there will be an extra Tongcheng faction.

    Liu Rushi was annoyed by the noise, clapped his hands and said: "Masters, listen to me, listen to me!"

    After yelling for a long time, everyone finally shut up.

    Ruan Dacheng also joined the compilation team. He has an identity as a dramatist, and he must be proficient in phonology if he can compose dramas.

    Liu Rushi smiled and said: "Why don't you invite a top-notch troupe to sing operas one by one. Let them use different tones and recite the libretto several times. Whichever is pleasant to the ear, whichever is easier to say and remember, we will choose whichever is the best."  allow."

    "Haha, what a wonderful statement!" Qian Qianyi clapped his hands in praise.

    Wu Bing, the author of "A Tale of the Great Fellowship", also came, and he couldn't help but said: "I also write operas, and I don't discriminate against opera actors. I can compile the correct pronunciation of a country, and it will be promoted all over the world in the future, based on the libretto of the opera troupe."  , Doesn't it seem a bit immodest?"

    "No, no," Ruan Dacheng said, "When it comes to pitch accuracy, who is better than opera singers? Let them sing and recite various tones several times, and we will choose the ones that are easy to hear, easy to remember, and easy to say."

    It seems like a child's play, but it is the most useful.

    Whether it is Qian Qianyi or Liu Rushi, they must speak with a dialect accent.  But those famous actors and actresses are all well-spoken, and they can be regarded as having the level of announcers.

    Liu Rushi's proposal was unanimously approved!

    Ever since, this group of people compiled "Mandarin", that is, they lived in landscape gardens and listened to opera troupes singing every day, so how nourishing their life would be.

    Fang Yizhi put down the manuscript, cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Yu Shan!"

    "Haha, the secret is here, and I need a great talent." Qian Qianyi said with a smile.

    Liu Rushi looked at Fang Yizhi carefully: "This is Fang Mizhi?"

    Qian Qianyi introduced: "Secretly, this is Liu Yin and Liu Rushi, the vice president who compiled Datong Zhengyin."

    "I met Liu Jun." Fang Yizhi cupped his hands.

    Liu Rushi bowed back and said, "Mr. Fang, I'm afraid you have to go to Jiangxi. The town is looking everywhere for your whereabouts."

    Fang Yizhi was stunned: "Mr. Zhao asked everywhere?"

    Liu Rushi explained: "Someone in Jiangxi presented the wonderful book "Institute of Physics". Mr. Zhao asked curiously and learned that this book was published by you, and that you are still writing similar physics books. Zongzhen Zhao wants to discuss physics with you.  "

    "I see." Fang Yizhi found it interesting that a hero like Zhao Han actually likes physics.

    Someone presented "Nongshu" before, which was appreciated by Zhao Han.

    Chen Zilong's presentation of "Nongzheng Quanshu" was also appreciated by Zhao Han.

    theZhao Han explained: "Whether it's right or wrong, don't worry about it, and don't put everything on Yin-Yang and Five Elements."

    After reading the first chapter of "Little Knowledge of Physics", Zhao Han finally knew what went wrong.

    Fang Yizhi was too deeply influenced by the traditional view of the universe, so he used Yin-Yang and Five Elements to explain the universe, directly setting the framework of the physical world wrong.  Going down this road, it is difficult to come up with modern science, but the Western method is more useful.

    Seeing that Fang Yizhi did not speak, Zhao Han asked, "Do you know mathematics and geometry?"

    "Yes." Fang Yizhi nodded.

    Zhao Han guided: "Everything is connected, why not use mathematics to express it?"

    "How to express in mathematics?" Fang Yizhi was confused.

    Zhao Han pointed to the inkstone in front of him, and said with a smile: "Start with the simplest phenomenon, such as this inkstone. I pushed it, why did it move?"

    Fang Yizhi frowned and said, "It's natural to move under force."

    "What force did it bear?" Zhao Han asked.

    Fang Yizhi replied: "The power of the general town's fingers."

    Zhao Han asked: "Since it is under force, why stop?"

    Fang Yizhi replied: "If the general town doesn't push it anymore, it won't bear any force, and it will stop naturally."

    Zhao Han asked again: "But after I let go of my finger, why does it continue to move for a certain distance? It stands to reason that when I let go of my finger, the inkstone should stop immediately."

    Fang Yizhi fell into deep thought.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 333 [The Northern Expedition Coming Soon] (Adding more updates for the penguin boss)

    Fang Yizhi was thrown to the Department of Public Works as Song Yingxing's assistant.

    Song Yingxing was also inspired by Zhao Han in physics, but he was too busy with official duties, and he was not as active in researching physics as Fang Yizhi.

    The two of them staying together should be able to spark some sparks.

    Regarding physics, Zhao Han can only remember his junior high school knowledge, but he has long forgotten most of his high school physics, and he can't even remember a single high school physics formula.

    He can only inspire and teach the methodology of studying natural science.

    Fang Yizhi is in a state of madness, studying mechanics all day long.  In less than half a month, this guy made his own dynamometer and asked craftsmen to make it.

    ? Song Yingxing expressed displeasure, saying that Fang Yizhi was not good as an assistant, and that he was distracted by various errands during working hours.

    Zhao Han simply established specialized institutions, namely the Imperial Academy, the Academy of Mathematics, and the Academy of Physics.

    This Hanlin Academy is not the Hanlin Academy.

    The Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty belongs to the central senior cadre preparation agency.

    Zhao Han's Hanlin Academy is purely an academic institution.

    ?Research on Datong theory, compile Datong correct pronunciation, determine standard characters and dictionaries in the future, even recompile primary and secondary school textbooks, or compile "Ming History" after the fall of the Ming Dynasty, all these tasks are entrusted to the Imperial Academy for execution.

    Officials of the Imperial Academy are not allowed to participate in politics, let alone be transferred to official positions with real power!

    The Hanlin Academy, Mathematics Academy, and Physics Academy are temporarily under the direct jurisdiction of Zhao Han.

    The Faculty of Physics is the poorest, with only Fang Yizhi alone.

    Zhao Han ordered him to select 20 students, and while helping Fang Yizhi to do experiments, he also learned from Fang Yizhi.  These students are not paid, but they are provided with food and housing.

    There are so many houses in Nanjing Xu Guogong's house, and they will be distributed to various institutions in the future.  For example, Wanzhu Garden is arranged to be the site of the School of Physics. The environment is absolutely elegant and the researchers are guaranteed to be happy physically and mentally.

    "Headquarters!"

    Another day, Fang Yizhi took out the schematic diagram, pointed to the drawing and said: "The object itself remains stationary because of the balanced force. Take this square inkstone as an example. It has the gravity of falling itself, and the desktop gives it upward force."  Lifting force. When the lifting force is the same as the gravity, the inkstone can remain still. Just like people stepping on the mud, it will sink due to gravity. The deep footprints are the gravity of the person. When the mud is stepped on  , the lifting force on the ground can counteract the force of gravity, and the person will not be able to stand still.”

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "So, what general (law) did you come up with?"

    Fang Yizhi replied: "Everything thinks of tranquility. Any object, when it receives a balance force or no external force, it must be still."

    Zhao Han crumpled Fang Yizhi's drawing into a ball and threw it out casually: "What kind of force did this paper ball bear?"

    Fang Yizhi redraws the picture, thinks carefully, and constantly writes the force: "It is subjected to the force of the general town's throwing and its own gravity. When these two forces combine, the paper ball will fall forward."

    "Really?"

    Zhao Han took out another piece of paper, unfolded it without crumpling it into a ball, and threw it out, asking: "These two pieces of paper are equal in weight, and the force I throw is also similar. Why is one thrown farther and the other thrown away?"  close?"

    Fang Yizhi thought hard.

    Zhao Han picked up a book, used it as a fan, and fanned Fang Yizhi: "Do you feel it?"

    "Wind." Fang Yizhi replied.

    Zhao Han asked: "Your hair moves with the wind, what kind of force does it bear?"

    Fang Yizhi's eyes widened: "The wind is the movement of the air, and the air is the real thing!"

    Fang Yizhi's understanding of wind in "Little Knowledge of Physics" is: Yin and Yang are driven by each other to move air, and ventilation can make wind.

    Zhao Han smiled and approved.

    Fang Yizhi added to the drawings again, and said: "The paper ball still has the resistance of air. When the resistance is balanced with the throwing force of the general town, the paper ball will no longernot right!"

    From Newton's first principle to Newton's second principle, Fang Yizhi was stunned instantly. He felt that the problem was very complicated.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I don't want to think about this for now. If my desk is extremely smooth and there is no resistance at all, will it stop after pushing the inkstone?"

    Fang Yizhi thought seriously, shook his head and said, "No, the inkstone will keep moving forward."

    "Then your previous conclusion is wrong. Things don't stay still, but keep their original state unchanged." Zhao Han said.

    Fang Yizhi nodded: "Indeed."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "How about calling this representation of things 'inertia'? Consistency."

    "Yes."

    Fang Yizhi felt that this issue could be further studied, and he cupped his hands and said: "General Town, I will take my leave first, and go to the matter."p; Unable to suppress thieves anymore, Zuo Liangyu left Henan again, went to Shandong to rob food, and recruited refugees as soldiers along the way.

    ? Li Zicheng called on all bandit leaders to join forces to counterattack. Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu were defeated and fled, and were killed when they broke through like tigers.

    Since then, Henan has become the territory of the rebels. Li Zicheng led his troops back to Shanxi, intending to take Shanxi and go straight to Beijing!

    The current situation is changing so fast that it is dazzling to see.

    ?There is only one real reason: Zhao Han occupied Jiangnan, the salt lords fought in Jianghuai, and the imperial court was unable to collect taxes and pay military salaries

    Far away in Europe.

    The British bourgeois revolution officially kicked off this year.

    In fact, it has nothing to do with the bourgeoisie, it is just a by-product of the Thirty Years War.

    Britain has fought wars for decades, and the royal family has gone bankrupt.  So they collected taxes crazily, forcing the nobles, merchants, and peasants to their death. The king also took the initiative to provoke religious conflicts, and the whole country was rebelled by a slapstick operation!

    The Thirty Years War is still going on in Asia at this time.

    The Netherlands realized that its army was not good enough, and spent money to hire thousands of Swedish mercenaries this year.  Sailing all the way from Europe by boat to attack Portugal's eastern colonies, the main targets were Goa, Ceylon and Malacca.

    As soon as the Portuguese fleet took away 500 Indian horses, the Dutch began to besiege Goa.

    In the future, if Zhao Han wants to continue buying horses, he will probably have to pay heavy taxes to the Dutch, and Malacca will definitely be taken away by the Netherlands.

    April.

    500 Indian Warri horses arrived in Shanghai, all of which are strong and vigorous horse breeds!

    It is a pity that more than 30 horses have died during the long-distance transportation by sea.

    Zhao Han came to Nanjing again, the General Military Mansion was renamed the Dudu Mansion, and the entire team moved to Nanjing City.

    Everyone knows what Zhao Han will do next.

    Northern Expedition!

    Northern Expedition!

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 334【South Flood and North Drought】

    ,

    The Imperial Palace in Nanjing is already in ruins.

    During the orthodox years, a thunderbolt caught fire and burned down the halls and pavilions such as Jinshen and Huagai.  Then there were storms and floods, and only the walls of the imperial city remained, and the rest of the wooden buildings were all rotten.

    Even the Nanjing Taimiao was burned down!

    Zhao Han took his wife, children and younger sister and moved into the Nanjing Inner Defense Mansion temporarily.

    The Ming Dynasty had three teams in Nanjing. The Inner Garrison Mansion was the office of the eunuchs and civil servants, and the Outer Garrison Mansion was the office of the generals.

    Last time Nanjing was occupied, all the chief eunuchs were killed, and the ordinary eunuchs remained and were hired by the government to clean up.

    Now, the sign of the Inner Garrison Mansion has been removed and replaced with a new one: Dudu Mansion.

    "Ah, this place is much bigger than Ji'an General Military Mansion!" Zhao Zhenfang ran around in the back house.

    Pan Qimei followed suit, and the yard was bigger than she imagined, and it seemed inappropriate to use it to feed chickens.

    With a smile on her face, Fei Rulan directed everyone to move things, and some rooms also had to be cleaned up.

    The relocation of the ruling center from Ji'an to Nanjing is not only due to the issue of status.

    Another important reason is that Ji'an Fucheng is too small.  With the expansion of Zhao Han's territory, there are more and more various institutions, and the Ji'an General Military Mansion simply cannot accommodate it.

    "Chief town, there are many eunuchs petitioning outside!" The guard hurried over to report.

    Although the government offices and noble gardens in Nanjing have not been used for the time being, they will definitely be useful in the future.  The eunuchs who survived were thrown around as handymen, cleaning and maintaining buildings with a meager salary.

    These too listened to say that Zhao Han had moved in, so they joined forces in private and came to petition in unison.

    Zhao Han walked to the gate of the Governor's Mansion, saw a crowd kneeling in the dark outside, frowned and shouted: "Hurry up and disperse!"

    A eunuch climbed up on his knees, kowtowed and said: "The servant bowed to the commander. The commander will be the emperor in the future. In the palace, it is inconvenient for the guards to do things, so we have to use eunuchs. We are all disabled people, please  The commander-in-chief is kind enough to stay and serve the commander-in-chief."

    "Are you the leader?" Zhao Han asked.

    The eunuch thought he had an opportunity, so he quickly replied: "Your maidservant's humble name is Yuan En."

    "Arrest this guy to sweep the streets, three months of hard labor, no pay, just food!" Zhao Han said, turned around and left.

    A group of eunuchs knelt there, looking at each other, not knowing what to do.

    Even if one day Zhao Han really wanted to use eunuchs, he would order them to be summoned instead of a group of eunuchs coming to instigate them

    Jeju Island.

    Hu Dinggui, Wang Yaochen, Lu Xiangguan, and Chen Tangong looked at the more than 400 horses in front of them, and there was nothing but indescribable shock in their hearts.

    "Isn't this a genius?" Lu Xiangguan exclaimed.

    Hu Dinggui looked at his mount, and then at the horse breed that had just been transported, like a person who has been eating bran for a long time, suddenly encounters delicacies from mountains and seas.

    500 horses departed from India and were transported to Shanghai. More than 30 horses died, and more than 60 horses were sick and stayed temporarily for recuperation and treatment.  Only 402 good horses were actually transported to Jeju Island.

    These horses were all bought from the Mughal Empire, and they are all Mawari horses.

    The average shoulder height of male horses is close to 1.55 meters, the average shoulder height of mares is close to 1.53 meters, while the average shoulder height of Jeju Island is only 1.22 meters.

    A full difference of 30 centimeters!

    These are likely the hybrid descendants of Arabian and Turkmen horses brought to northwestern India by invaders.

    When the Mughal Empire expanded, several states that had this kind of war horse fought back and forth with the Mughal army.  In the end, relying on internal division and political marriage, the Mughal Empire annexed those states and gave them a high degree of autonomy.

    After long-distance transportation, everyone was reluctant to ride, so they were sent to the pasture to recover their energy.

    It was not until ten days later that Hu Dinggui carefully tested the car.

    That kind of feeling is like replacing a tractor with a top sports car!

    "Drive!"

    Sitting on horseback, Hu Dinggui seemed to be flying through the clouds as he galloped along.

    Lu Xiangguan also chose a horse, and immediately burst into pride, he rode his horse to catch up with Hu Dinggui and said: "General Hu, with this amazing horse, it can sweep Mobei!"

    Hu Dinggui ran for two laps and stopped, and said: "Let this kind of Tianzhu horse breed by itself first, and if the stallion still has enough strength, then choose the best Jeju mares to breed. The horse is born in October, and the pony is one and a half years old.  If they can be bred, many good horses can be born in five years!"

    Chen Tangong caught up and asked, "How much is this kind of horse?"

    ?Wang Yaochen replied: "15Wu, none of the civil servants and military generals of Ming Dynasty can be Zhao Han's opponent.  "

    "What the people want." Lu Xiangjin said.

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "The hearts of the people in the past were the hearts of the scholars and the people. Guishou was ignorant, he didn't know right from wrong, he didn't know the benefits and harms, so he couldn't get his mind together. Haha, this statement is absurd. Guishou is not ignorant, but has nothing to do with them. Zhao Han  With Tian Zheng’s desire to gather at the head of Guizhou, this is the real aspiration of the people. After the flood is over, let us brothers also go to Nanjing to see what we can find.”

    The various armies being mobilized were delayed by the heavy rain throughout the Yangtze River Basin.

    ? Heavy rains fell in Jiangxi, Hunan, and Jiangnan, and finally formed a large flood peak in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.  Susongchang Lake and these big taxpayers were all hit by floods, and countless farmlands along Taihu Lake were submerged.

    Flood in the south, drought in the north!

    Shandong not only suffers from drought, but also suffers from locust plagues, and the whole province is full of migratory locusts.

    Puzhou Prefecture was the worst hit, and all the vegetation was eaten up.  The government dug a pit to bury the corpse directly outside the city gate, and the hungry people dug the pit to dig up the corpse, cut up the corpse and ate the flesh.  There are also family members who died of starvation, and there are many father and son couples eating each other at the morgue.

    Fortunately, Zhang Guowei was appointed as the Jiangnan Water Conservancy Envoy. Since last summer, he has been building Jiangnan Water Conservancy.  And with work as relief, many hungry people survived the famine.

    The damage caused by this year's flood is far lower than that in history.

    "Orders to suspend the deployment of troops from all over the country, and all rush to the disaster area to rescue the people!"

    This is the first military order issued by Zhao Han himself after he moved to Nanjing.

    All provinces are flooded, how can we fight across the river?

 Body 335【Yangzhou no longer has ten days】

    ,

    The city of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty was very large, and the outer city wall framed the entire Zijin Mountain.  Guanyin Gate, Qilin Gate, Shangfang Gatethese are all gates of the outer city, leaving only one place name in later generations.

    ? If you look at the outer city walls, there are large tracts of farmland and mountains in Nanjing.

    So, should we keep the cultivated land in the city, and should we distribute the cultivated land to nearby farmers?  In other words, are these people who are included in the outer city considered urban residents or farmers?

    During the flood relief period in various places, the magistrates of Shangyuan County and Jiangning County in Nanjing came to find Zhao Han with many doubts.

    Zhao Han convened the officials of the Governor's Mansion to discuss repeatedly, and decided to count the farmers first, and the land that should be divided is still divided-in fact, it has already been divided.

    When the urban population continues to expand, land will inevitably be gradually encroached upon.  At that time, the population on the land will be relocated to the north to divide the land, and those who are willing to stay will be directly converted into citizens.

    "There are still some vagrants in the city who lack stable livelihoods," Zhao Han ordered, "post notices to recruit 1,000 people to work. Volunteers come and pay the wages. First, clean up the ruins of the Nanjing Imperial City. When the flood recedes,  Then recruit craftsmen and handymen to slowly restore the Nanjing Imperial City."

    The two county magistrates took orders to leave.

    Pang Chunlai asked: "The governor plans to make Nanjing the capital?"

    "It's true, let Beijing take it easy." Zhao Han sighed.

    Beijing's population is also in the millions.

    In the middle of Ming Dynasty, the surrounding vegetation was cut down.  During the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, residents had to rely on Xishan coal for their living firewood, and the emperor could only open his eyes and close his eyes when his ancestral graves (dragon veins of the imperial mausoleum) were dug up all day long.

    The ecological environment over there is extremely fragile, and there are several sandstorms every year.

    Not to mention water transportation, it is a waste of manpower and material resources.

    ?Don’t talk about food grain going by sea, Zhu Yuanzhang also used sea ships to transport military food at first, and Zhu Di also used sea ships to transport horses from North Korea.  There were several shipwrecks, the entire fleet capsized, and such things were never mentioned again.

    Zhao Han himself may be able to insist on shipping, but who knows what future generations are?  Being fooled by ministers with relevant interests, it is estimated that he will have to take the Grand Canal again.

    Zhu Di established his capital in Beijing to deal with Mongolia.

    With the continuous development of guns, railways may be built in the future, and the Mongolian grasslands no longer pose a big threat.  Then why go to Beijing to eat sandstorms?

    ?Leave two hundred years to restore the ecology around Beijing, so that the people there can live a better life.

    Another most important reason is that after the war and famine in Beijing, the population may not be much left.  If Zhao Han decides to set his capital in Beijing, he will have to forcibly relocate rich households and common people to enrich the city of Beijing, just like Zhu Di.

    Toss around!

    "Nanjing is also fine," Li Banghua said after careful consideration, "but we have to go on an expedition to the grasslands and take root firmly in Hetao."

    In addition to Hetao, there is also the Songliao Basin. Both areas can be farmed, and they have been in the state of half-cultivation and half-grazing in the Ming Dynasty.  As long as these two places are in control, the grassland and the Northeast are no problem, but before the advent of the railway, the cost of transporting food in was relatively high, and it took at least 30 years of painstaking efforts to stabilize it.

    Zhao Han looked at the map repeatedly: "The flood prevented them from crossing the river. Let us send troops to Jianghuai, at least in June. By that time, Zhang Xianzhong may have captured Yunyang. Our army went north to Jianghuai, and Li Zicheng went north to Shanxi. Zhang Xianzhong had no other choice."  , it is estimated that he will go west to Sichuan. According to reports, there are uprisings everywhere in Sichuan, and Zhang Xianzhong may easily enter."

    "The eight thieves are not bad. Over the past year, they have been promoting good governance in Hubei. It is not a bad thing for him to take down Sichuan." Li Banghua said.

    Zhang Xianzhong no longer went to get involved in Tongcheng, the chief military adviser would not be Wang Zhaoling, and no one would fool Zhang Xianzhong into killing indiscriminately in Sichuan.

    Today, Zhang Xianzhong proclaims himself the "Great General of Dingguo", and his military advisers are ranked in order: Liao Zhifang, Xu Yixian, and Pan Duao.

    Especially Liao Zhifang and Xu Yixian, one of whom carried "Datong Ji" with him, and the other who boasted of being Zhuge Liang all the year round, they were all admonishing Zhang Xianzhong to implement good governance.

    So Zhang Xianzhong started to do what Zhu Yuanzhang did, throwing a large number of soldiers who had no combat effectiveness into "military settlements".  He also recruited refugees everywhere and carried out "civil settlements" in various places.  At the same time, he began to train soldiers and restrain the military discipline of the troops. Although the military discipline is still very bad, it is much better than that of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

    These policies are considered good governance in the chaotic north.

    Although the people in Juntun and Mintun were similar in status to serfs, they still regarded Zhang Xianzhong as a living Bodhisattva.

    Really, killing a few people less so that the common people can farm safely is already called good governance in the north!

    ?people!  "

    Another group of scholars came over. Since Han Wenjing ordered the arrest, these Datong scholars did not dare to carry their swords.

    "General, please go to the city to appease, we have already contacted all places." The scholar leader stepped forward and cupped his hands.

    Fei Ruhe cupped his hands in return: "Thank you, everyone."

    As for Wang Changyin who was kneeling on the ground, Fei Ruhe didn't even bother to take a look.

    Xu Ying had made contact a long time ago. Once the army arrives, Yangzhou will definitely be taken.  Just like Wang Changyin's cowardly prostration and kneeling, how can it be like the internal response developed by Xu Ying?  He must have come out halfway to claim credit!

    After experiencing a military disaster, there was no chaos in Yangzhou city.

    Gan merchants and Huizhou merchants took the initiative to maintain order, and their common enemy was Western merchants (Shanxi, Shanxi).  As long as Zhao Han wins Yangzhou, they can drive the Western Merchants out of Yangzhou even if they don't rely on political power!

    If Zhao Han came to Yangzhou City in person at this moment, he would definitely feel emotional.

    What a rich and beautiful city, 800,000 people were killed in history, and the massacre lasted for ten days, and the entire city of Yangzhou was almost wiped out.

    In this time and space, "Yangzhou Ten Days" will definitely not appear again.

    The news of taking Yangzhou lightly did not cause any disturbance in Zhao Han's heart. After all, it had been planned for several years, and now it is just ripe.

    Another military situation from the north made Zhao Han sigh.

    Wu Sangui surrendered, and the Manchu Qing occupied Songshan Fort, completely turning Jinzhou into an isolated city.

    The outer city of Jinzhou has been lost, and the satellite cities have also surrendered, but Zu Dashou still sticks to the inner city of Jinzhou.

    Zu Dashou was a little scared, he had feigned surrender once.  He killed the general who advocated standing firm, surrendered with his son, and left his son as a hostage, claiming that he was going to cheat the city.  Then he was gone forever, and his son was gone, which made Huang Taiji feel bad.

    How can a person who feigned surrender once dare to surrender easily again?

    (Two updates today. ?

 Text 336【Lu Xiangsheng】

    The layout of the Imperial City of Nanjing and the Imperial City of Beijing is not to say exactly the same, but it can be called similar with minor differences.

    There are six offices with similar locations.

    Zhao Han now lives in the area west of Liubu, walking north along the Qinhuai River, he can reach the Taiping Gate, and Xuanwu Lake is just outside the Taiping Gate.

    At the end of Ming Dynasty, there were many lakes in Nanjing. In addition to Xuanwu Lake, there were also Qianhu Lake, Nanhu Lake, Zhonghu Lake, Mochou Lake and so on.

    Before Zhao Han conquered Nanjing, Xuanwu Lake belonged to the forbidden area of ??the royal family.

    Now, of course, the ban has been lifted. There are fishermen fishing in the lake, farmers farming by the lake, and even famous prostitutes moving their boats to Xuanwu Lake.

    Today Zhao Han took a boat, not to visit famous prostitutes, but to bring his whole family out together.  After the flood receded, they took advantage of the leisure time to visit the lake, and let Fei Rulan, Pan Qimei, Zhao Zhenfang and the others relax by the way.

    A few women were lying on the window of the painting boat, looking at the scenery of Zijin Mountain in the distance, chatting about private matters.

    "The city wall over there should open a sluice gate."

    Zhao Han pointed to a section of the city wall to the northwest of Taiping Gate: "Emperor Hongwu built the city and forcibly separated the Qinhuai River and Xuanwu Lake, so that Xuanwu Lake could not be used for flood discharge during floods. The water of the Yangtze River could not flow into Xuanwu Lake through the Qinhuai River.  It will become smaller and smaller. There must also be an order that the area around Xuanwu Lake, within half a mile, must not be used for farming!"

    After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the ban on Xuanwu Lake was lifted, and the gentry and dignitaries continued to reclaim land from the lake, resulting in a crazy reduction in the area of ??the lake, and the filling of the lake made Nanjing Zhonghu disappear directly.

    Xu Nianzu nodded and said: "It is indeed time to reconnect the Qinhuai River and Xuanwu Lake. This year, the Qinhuai River has flooded the streets on both banks."

    The famous prostitute Gu Hengbo was playing the piano in the cabin.

    Lu Xiangsheng listened to the sound of the piano, closed his eyes and rested his mind. He was waiting for Zhao Han to assign errands.

    Zhao Han got up and looked at the lake, but he was thinking about how to stabilize Beijing if Nanjing was his capital.

    In the Ming Dynasty, there was Shuntian Mansion where Beijing was located, Yingtian Mansion where Nanjing was located, and Chengtian Mansion (the hometown of Jiajing) in Hubei.  These three are equivalent to municipalities directly under the central government, and Fengyang must be added to the strict calculation.

    ? If you want to stabilize Beijing and prevent Beijing from declining, you must establish a "municipality directly under the Central Government".

    The administrative establishment of Chengtian Mansion must be abolished, and Zhao Han, the municipality directly under the central government, intends to set up five——

    The first is Nanjing, the second is Beijing, the third is Shenyang, the fourth is Xi'an, and the fifth is Kunming.

    The prefects of these five municipalities directly under the central government must be of the same rank as the chief envoys.  Only a large city with a high enough grade and remote communication can radiate the surrounding areas and play a role in stabilizing the country.

    Suddenly, Zhao Han turned around: "Mr. Jiutai, you go with the army to fight Anqing."

    "Yes." Lu Xiang stood up and cupped his hands.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "First read "The Collection of Datong" carefully several times, and serve as a military propaganda and instructor for a year, so that I can transfer you to a commanding general."

    Having suffered floods in several provinces this summer, it is indeed not suitable for an all-out Northern Expedition.

    However, it is still possible to occupy cities along the river as strongholds for the Northern Expedition.

    Fei Ruhe has already occupied Yangzhou, and Liuhe, Jiangpu, Hezhou, Wuwei, Wangjiang, and Anqing can be occupied.

    These cities are all on the riverside, or not far from the Yangtze River.

    There is no need to recruit a large number of civilians to transport supplies, and you can fight across the river by boat, which will be the former stronghold of the Northern Expedition.

    The end of June.

    Lu Xiangsheng carried "Da Tong Ji" in his arms, and followed Zhang Tieniu to fight in Anqing.

    Anqing is also Jiancheng.

    King Ning rebelled, and he was always blocked here, and the Jiajing Dynasty built another city again.

    "Fujun, Jiangxi soldiers are coming." Fang Yuegong, the magistrate of Anqing, said.

    Li Yukui, governor of Anlu, asked back: "Do you want to surrender the bandits?"

    Fang Yuegong sighed: "My home is in Gucheng, which was stolen by the eight thieves (Zhang Xianzhong) for a year, and now it has been completely occupied by the eight thieves. My father wrote a letter saying that the family property is still there, but the floating wealth has been looted.  Silver buried in the cellar."

    Li Yukui smiled wryly: "You still know the information about your hometown, but there is no news about my family. I don't know if it was robbed by the intruder (Li Zicheng)."

    Li Zicheng is sweeping Shanxi, and Li Yukui is from Shanxi.

    Fang Yuegong also said: "Zhao Han opened a port in Shanghai, and I built the sea wall and stone pond in Shanghai County by myself. If you want to come, you can go there to ask for an errand."

    On the other side of Shanghai, there is Fang Yuegong's ancestral hall built by ordinary people spontaneously.

    It is also because of the construction of seawalls and stone ponds that forced wealthy households in Shanghai to pay.  Those with more than 100 mu of land will pay 8% of silver per mu, which violates the interests of the gentry.Come over and take the work.

    Lu Xiangsheng couldn't laugh or cry, his heart was full of emotions, and he could only sigh.

    He often fights with rogues, and this kind of situation cannot happen when rogues attack the city.  Not to mention vagrant coolies, even the residents of the city will spontaneously go up to the city to defend themselves when they encounter rogues, because rogues will inevitably rob when they enter the city!

    This is not something that can be achieved with a strong army, but the reputation of benevolence and righteousness must be spread far and wide.

    The people of Anqing know that as long as they surrender to King Zhao, they will surely have a good life in the future.

    All the cities along the Yangtze River know this truth.  There was only one river across, and they heard countless rumors that the farmers on the other side had already divided their fields, and the people in the city did not pay excessive taxes.

    What a beautiful life that was, why didn't Zhao Tianwang fight Jianglai?

    "Under Heaven!"

    "Long live King Zhao!"

    The people had some doubts at the beginning, seeing that the soldiers of Datong Qiu were innocent, so they walked out of their houses one after another, standing on both sides of the street to watch and cheer.

    Lu Xiangsheng entered the city with the army and saw more and more people celebrating with joy.

    This feeling is absurd and intoxicating.

    During the day to maintain order in the city, Lu Xiangsheng took out "Da Tong Ji" at night.  He has read this book more than ten times, but every time he reads it, he has new thoughts.

    Many truths in the book can be verified by farmers in Yixing and urban residents in Anqing.

    Lu Xiangsheng also sympathized with the common people, and the Tianxiong Army did not commit any crimes.

    However, the Tianxiong Army and the Datong Army are obviously different.

    One is to fight for the emperor, and the other is to fight for the people!

    Lu Xiangsheng repeatedly read the three articles "Yuanjun", "Yuanchen", and "Yuanmin", and he finally fully understood what Zhao Han said about the great unity of the world.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 337【Conflict with Zhang Xianzhong】

    In the Ming Dynasty, Daguan Lake and Longgan Lake were connected to each other, and they were collectively called Leichi, which could communicate with the Yangtze River.

    After crossing Leichi by boat, there will be a war.

    Li Zheng and Xiao Zongxian led five thousand soldiers to attack Huangmei County.  Accompanied by a thousand people.

    Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong led 3,000 regular soldiers and 2,000 peasant soldiers to attack Susong.  Accompanied by a thousand people.

    These two counties are both Zhang Xianzhong's territory.

    To be precise, it is the site of his son, Sun Kewang.

    Among the adopted sons, Sun Kewang was the most capable, so he was thrown to Huangzhou Mansion to guard against Zhao Han.

    Hearing that the cities of Huangmei and Susong were besieged, Sun Kewang left his infantry to defend Huanggang. He personally led the cavalry to rush to help, and sent envoys to resolve the dispute peacefully.

    When he arrived in Guangji, the envoy came back to report.

    "What did they say?" Sun Kewang asked.

    The envoy knelt down and replied: "General, Bandit Zhao told us to retreat to Guangji, saying that the mountain (Dabie Mountain) is the boundary."

    Guangji is the Wuxue City of later generations, but the county seat is in a mountainous area, not on the banks of the Yangtze River.

    The conditions Zhao Han gave were to take away the two counties of Huangmei and Susong, and to make Wuxue City suitable for farming, with Luojia Mountain, Henggang Mountain, and Zhutou Mountain as the boundary of the Dabie Mountains.

    "Fuck into his mother!"

    Sun Kewang was furious, drew his sword and shouted: "Order the counties, gather troops to follow me to kill the enemy!"

    Most of the territory that Zhang Xianzhong assigned to Sun Kewang was in mountainous areas.  Now Zhao Han's mouth costs two and a half counties, and all of them are good lands that can grow food, which is tantamount to cutting flesh on Sun Kewang's body.

    With an order to gather troops, all counties in Huangzhou Prefecture will fly like dogs.

    When the Datong Army detected the news, they immediately mobilized their navy to cruise in the waters of Huangzhou and Qizhou, and even sent out several ships to bombard the capital city of Jingzhou.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    "My lord, the Jiangxi navy is calling!"

    Zhang Xianzhong had just taken down Yunyang, and he was rectifying his army and horses, and he would attack Nanyang after the autumn harvest.

    Inexplicably, he was attacked.

    Zhang Xianzhong hurriedly summoned three military advisers, and said confusedly: "Jianghuai has many rich and big cities, Zhao Han didn't go to fight Jianghuai, why did he come to fight me?"

    Fortified cities like Yangzhou and Anqing, Zhao Hanbing could take them without bloodshed.

    If Zhang Xianzhong ran to attack, a city could be conquered for at least half a year, or even two or three years.

    ? When Zhao Han's soldiers approached the city, the wealthy city would choose to surrender.

    Zhang Xianzhong's army is approaching the city, and the wealthy and big city must resist resolutely.

    Because the former does not plunder, the latter must plunder the city!

    Zhang Xianzhong had indeed started farming, but at the beginning of the reclamation, there was not enough money and food, so what should be robbed should be robbed, and he did not kill people indiscriminately.

    Knowing that he couldn't handle the big city of Jianghuai, Zhang Xianzhong simply stopped fighting and managed the Hubei area seriously.  At the same time, Jianghuai was also handed over to Zhao Han to avoid conflicts with Zhao Han in the short term.

    Xu Yixian called himself Zhuge Liang, held a white feather fan, frowned and said, "There must be something wrong with this matter. Zhao Han only asked the navy to bombard Jiangling, obviously he didn't really want to send troops to kill him, it was more like a deterrent and a warning.  "

    "Could it be some general who clashed with Zhao Han's soldiers?" Liao Zhifang guessed.

    Pan Duao suggested: "You can send people across the river to make contact first. Even if there is a war, you must find out why it is fought. Don't finish the war in a daze, and you don't know what it is for."

    Just when Zhang Xianzhong was about to send an envoy, another personal guard rushed over: "Your Majesty, the enemy army has shot books into the city!"

    "Bring it quickly!" Zhang Xianzhong said quickly.

    This guy got the letter, although he didn't have much literacy, he roughly understood it.

    Zhang Xianzhong sighed: "Zhao Han wants Huangmei and Susong counties, and wants to cut off all the good land in Guangji county."

    Xu Yixian immediately understood Zhao Han's intentions, and sighed, "This is trying to rely on the mountains and the Yangtze River to block us in Hubei!"

    Liao Zhifang said: "Susong can give it, but Huangmei County must not. Once Huangmei County is given up, if you want to send troops to Jianghuai in the future, you have to go north of Dashan (Dabie Mountain) and fight from Henan."

    The administrative divisions of the past dynasties have been deliberately drawn in one piece to prevent local separatism, but wars depend on the terrain of the mountains.

    For example, Zhao Han took all the territory in Hubei south of the Yangtze River.

    After Zhang Xianzhong occupied Hubei, he would continue to fight Xinye and Nanyang.  Although these places belong to Henan, the terrain is closely related to Hubei. Zhang Xianzhong had to fight until there were mountains around him before stopping, using Biyang and Yuzhou (Fangcheng) as the key points of attack and defense.

    &nbsp?You can learn from him and rebel and kill his descendants.  "

    "Is there really such a thing?" Zhang Xianzhong said in surprise.

    "Yes," Liao Zhifang opened the "Datong Ji", "the latest addition is the Sanyuan Chapter, he said that the world belongs to the common people, and the emperor and officials are all managing the world for the common people."

    Zhang Xianzhong slapped his thigh fiercely: "Damn, what a Zhao Han. Go back ten years and replace Zhao Han as the emperor, and I will make a rebellion? If I were a commoner, I would definitely treat him as a Bodhisattva. That's right,  I want to lead troops to join him!"

    This remark is purely a joke, Zhang Xianzhong is willing to surrender, and neither are the civilian and military generals under his command.

    Not to mention the generals and godsons, the three military divisions in front of me have each allocated tens of thousands of acres of land, are they really willing to hand over all the land?

    In Zhang Xianzhong's territory, military farms supply the army, and civilian farms supply the government.  From Zhang Xianzhong to generals at all levels, they also recruited refugees to work as tenants to cultivate the land they occupied.  The soldiers also divided the fields, almost occupying all the good land.

    Almost all the self-cultivating farmers have disappeared, leaving only remote areas, and the landlords can still keep their own land, or keep middle and lower fields in rich areas.

    Thinking about it carefully, Zhang Xianzhong sighed and said: "Forget it, give Huangmei County to Zhao Han. To spare time and troops, first take down the surrounding areas of Nanyang, and then go to take down Sichuan as well."

    As for Sun Kewang, who has already sent troops, let Zhao Han take care of him. Anyway, this godson has been a little disobedient recently.

    It's also good to knock and knock.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 338 [The first confrontation with the rogues] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Huangmei County.

    Li Zheng and Xiao Zongxian only brought a thousand civilian husbands here.

    A few days later, there were nearly ten thousand civilian husbands!

    Huangmei County and Jiujiang Prefecture are separated by a river, and many residents on both sides are relatives.

    What kind of life is it in Jiujiang? Can the people of Huangmei County not know?

    The mission officers and the backbone of the peasant association roared along the river and the lake, and countless peasants carried hoes and killed the heads of the tenants, and ran to help the Datong army in the war.

    They don't do anything else, just fill up the moat with soil and help transport some supplies.

    Don't get paid, just take care of the food.

    Seeing the moat being filled up little by little, the guard Wang Ziqi was quite worried.  Although there were not many enemy troops besieging the city, the equipment looked scary. Compared with the two, the soldiers under his command were like beggars.

    The whole army wears armor, even the cooks wear leather armor!

    Fortunately, the enemy army is not in a hurry to attack the city, and seems to want to besiege the city and fight for reinforcements?

    Direction of Guangji.

    The spies reported: "General, the enemy's situation has been ascertained. The enemy has thousands of soldiers, and they have recruited nearly ten thousand civilians in Huangmei County."

    "Thousands of soldiers, just want to take the city?" Sun Kewang sneered, "The whole army is going!"

    Sun Kewang's internal affairs ability is extremely strong, and now all of Zhang Xianzhong's sites belong to Sun Kewang's side, which is the best developed.

    In just one year, Sun Kewang's military rations can already be self-sufficient.

    However, this person has great ambitions.

    Immediately expand the army after the military rations are self-sufficient.  He didn't want to stay in Huangzhou to defend Zhao Han, and kept trying to fight. Susong County was defeated this year, and he planned to fight Taihu County next.

    Develop the territory, expand the army, hoard grain and grass, and occupy the entire Jianghuai!

    Zhang Xianzhong asked Sun Kewang to command 20,000 troops, but he secretly already had 30,000 troops, not including the guarding troops along the river.

    Fart a little bigger land, support tens of thousands of troops, and be self-sufficient, one can imagine how the soldiers are treated.

    Almost only rations are given, and it is impossible to pay military salaries. Anyway, the land is allotted to the soldiers, and the soldiers can recruit tenants to farm the land to support their families.

    Not counting the investment in military equipment, just talking about rations and military pay, Zhao Han's cost of raising one soldier is more than enough for Sun Kewang to raise ten soldiers!

    It may seem scary to say it, but it is not outrageous.

    The military salary of a Datong soldier is only 70% of that of a Guanning army. The Ming court really paid a high salary to support soldiers.

    The difference is that the Datong Army is all paid, and the quality of food in the army is very good.

    Sun Kewang personally led an army of 20,000 to fight towards Huangmei County.  The subsequent assembled troops all went to Huangzhou and Qizhou to defend the city, so as not to be attacked by the Datong navy.

    With an army of 20,000 and 30,000 civilians, Sun Kewang claimed to send 100,000 troops.

    "It's finally here." Li Zheng had been waiting for a long time.

    Both sides didn't do any fancy work. After setting up their own camps, they fought in a dignified manner.

    Sun Kewang wanted to lead the cavalry to attack Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong outside Susong City by surprise.  But when he learned that the enemy army in Huangmei County was several thousand behind, what a surprise attack, let's eat the enemy in front of him.

    There are many enemy soldiers, and there are also in the city. Li Zheng lacks cavalry and dare not run to attack at night.

    Li Zheng had a cautious personality, so he simply withdrew from the siege to avoid being attacked by inside and outside, and huddled into a ball to prepare for a decisive battle.

    "This guy is very timid," Sun Kewang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Once Lao Tzu came, he didn't besiege the city anymore, and he didn't give him any chance. I guess it's useless to attack at night, let's take a day off and fight hard."

    ?Sun Kewang and Li Zheng had a tacit understanding, and both chose the land a few miles west of Huangmei County as the battlefield, where the farmland was mainly dry land.

    The rice hadn't been harvested yet, and Li Zheng didn't want to damage the crops.

    Sun Kewang wanted to take advantage of the cavalry, and there were too many paddy fields for the horses to run.

    Of course, Li Zheng is not a pedantic person.  He chose the dry land as the battlefield because he was afraid that the enemy would run away, so how long would he have to wait to get the results?

    The two sides lined up slowly, and Sun Kewang gathered the entire army of cavalry, a total of 1,200 cavalry, all of which were handed over to the general Feng Shuangli to command.

    "Da da da da!"

    Feng Shuangli came with cavalry, trying to disrupt the formation of the Datong army.

    "Array, raise guns!"

    Five thousand regular soldiers, one thousand of them are gunfire soldiers.

    In front of the firecrackers, Feng Shuangli did not dare to go straight, and led the cavalry around the flank of the Datong army.

    The Datong Army quickly rearranged and marched firmly and calmly towards the enemy.

    Go very slowly, because there are artillery.

    "??Sun Kewang is not qualified to lead the artillery team for the time being.

    Sun Kewang drew out his saber and shouted, "March faster!"

    The ten guns in Li Zhengjun's army all adopted the barrel cold casting technology of the Portuguese in Macau, directly doubling the range!

    After rushing halfway, another volley of ten guns was fired.

    This time the shooting was more accurate, with a total of six shells hitting, plowing the bloody passage in the enemy's large formation.

    Two of the phalanxes were chaotically formed by the artillery. Although they did not collapse directly, they seriously slowed down their progress.

    Two years ago, Zhang Xianzhong had only tens of thousands of soldiers.

    Today, his righteous descendants are expected to have tens of thousands of soldiers.

    How high can the training degree be?

    Facing the chaotic formation, Sun Kewang could only order the other troops to advance, and the two phalanxes stayed behind to adjust their formation before leaving.  Otherwise, once the formation is chaotic during the battle, it is likely to become a breakthrough for the enemy.

    "Woo~~~"

    Sun Kewang had someone blow the horn again, and ordered Feng Shuangli's cavalry to rush to cooperate with the charge.

    In all directions, all speeded up and trotted towards Li Zheng's army.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The artillery fired again, firing flat at close range, and ten shells plowed the bleeding gully.

    The cannon can no longer be fired, the distance between the two sides is too close, and it is too late to reload.  Melee infantry and firecrackers quickly stepped forward to block in front of the artillery.

    Sun Kewang roared loudly: "The military law team steps forward!"

    But it was a unit recruited this year, most of which were recruits, and were directly defeated by artillery.  That scene was too terrifying, with blood and flesh flying everywhere, the recruits couldn't bear the fear in their hearts at all.

    These defeated soldiers were hacked back by the military law team.

    Amidst the chaos, Sun Kewang's front line was crooked.  Some walked fast, some walked slowly, and the sides were not hit, but they ran the fastest.

    There is no way to line up again, and the firecrackers dare not go forward alone. Sun Kewang can only order the whole army to charge, otherwise the opponent's artillery will shoot again.

    Regardless of the chaotic charge of the formation, he wanted to pile up Li Zheng to death by virtue of his superiority in strength!

    Sun Kewang's firecrackers fired from a long distance away, and the archers followed behind and shot.

    Li Zheng didn't care about the enemies rushing from both sides, and only let the wolf soldiers, spearmen and rattan players deal with them.  No matter how many enemy troops there are, the width of the battlefield cannot be expanded. The Datong Army seems to have a small number of people, but in fact it has a partial strength advantage.

    There are 700 firecrackers on the front and 300 firecrackers on the back, waiting calmly.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Shooting front and back almost at the same time, a super close range of thirty steps.

    Sun Kewang only heard a burst of gunshots, and a row of frontal troops charging forward suddenly fell down collectively.  Bursts followed, and the second row fell down again.

    Originally, the formation of the infantry charge was chaotic, and then it was divided into two rounds of shooting by 700 firecrackers.  The two troops in front of them collapsed in an instant, and when they fled, they also crushed a new recruit army next to them, and then formed a big rout like a contagion.

    The cavalry who charged in the rear were ordered to charge closer, and were beaten up by 300 gun volleys.

    "kill!"

    "Doo toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot~~~~"

    The Datong Army, with only 5,000 men, actually began to charge from three sides, chasing and killing the enemy with a strength of 20,000, only the side facing the cavalry remained unchanged.

    There were as many as 8,000 troops on the two wings that Sun Kewang divided his troops to outflank.  It was not broken at first, but when they heard the Datong army blowing the charge horn, and saw the Datong army suddenly screaming and killing, it was only then that they realized that their frontal friendly army was defeated.

    The whole army collapsed!

    Sun Kewang was so frightened that he fled the battlefield with a few personal guards on horseback, and soon joined the remnants of the cavalry who had fled back.

    Sun Kewang's 20,000 troops, those who can really fight a tough battle, including those cavalry, can support three or four thousand.

    This guy probably won successive victories in Hubei, thinking that he was very powerful, and dared to bring a large number of recruits to the battle.

    More than 10,000 recruits and 30,000 civilian husbands were all thrown on the battlefield by Sun Kewang.

    On the side of the Datong Army, only 18 people were injured by bows and arrows, one person was killed and six were injured by firecrackers, and 25 people were stabbed by enemy infantry.

    One was killed, three were seriously injured, and the rest were slightly injured.

    The whole army is armored, with excellent weapons, and a strict formation. It is an accident that there are large-scale casualties.

    Sun Kewang fled far away on horseback, and asked Feng Shuangli: "Why did the cavalry repeatedly attack without success?"

    Feng Shuangli wanted to cry but had no tears: "I have never seen such soldiers. No matter how they charge, they shoot arrows, they don't move their feet. If it were an officer army, they would have already been defeated."

    Sun Kewang hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "Withdraw to Guangji to gather the remnants of the soldiers, and don't fight with the surnamed Zhao again. In the future, I will train soldiers better, and I can train soldiers like this."

    &lt;/div&gt;don't move.  If it was replaced by the official army, it would have been crushed long ago.  "

    Sun Kewang hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "Withdraw to Guangji to gather the remnants of the soldiers, and don't fight with the surnamed Zhao again. In the future, I will train soldiers better, and I can train soldiers like this."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 339 [Expansion, Dress Up, Bayonet]

    Outside the city of Huangzhou Prefecture, Zhang Xianzhong came on a tall horse.

    It was a good horse, with a height of 1.4 meters at the shoulder, with a smooth body and a vigorous physique.  Zhang Xianzhong was wearing armor and a red cloak, and he looked majestic while sitting on the horseback.

    In comparison, when Zhao Han entered Nanjing City last year, his attire seemed too shabby.

    Because of the hot weather, he only wore a linen singlet.

    It is summer now, Zhang Xianzhong is also hot, armor, helmet, cloak, everything is complete.

    "Father!"

    Sun Kewang prostrated himself on the ground and knelt to welcome Zhang Xianzhong into the city.

    Zhang Xianzhong didn't even bother to look at Yizi, and rode directly into the city.  While beating, he saved enough face, at least he didn't have to be whipped and punished in public.

    Seeing Zhang Xianzhong riding away on horseback, Sun Kewang hurriedly got up and chased after him to lead the horse for his adoptive father.

    Arriving at the official residence, Zhang Xianzhong immediately summoned the generals.

    "I heard that Guangji County is also lost?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

    Sun Kewang felt particularly uncomfortable, and replied in a low voice: "It's lost, and all the passages out of the mountain have also been occupied."

    Originally, Zhao Han only needed two and a half counties. Now that he had fought a battle, he might as well have three counties, occupy some mountainous areas, and completely strangle the passage from Qizhou to Huangmei County.

    "The defenders of the three counties have been swallowed?" Zhang Xianzhong asked again.

    Sun Kewang replied: "The generals under Hai'er's command were all released after surrendering, but the ordinary soldiers were swallowed by Zhao."

    Zhang Xianzhong nodded and said: "Since he is willing to release your generals, Zhao Han has no intention of turning his back on him. You have done a good job in civil affairs. This time, your vitality has been seriously injured. Let's recover in Huangzhou Mansion."

    "My boy obeys." Sun Kewang could only obey.

    Of the 20,000 soldiers and 30,000 civilian husbands brought out by Sun Kewang, only more than 5,000 people fled back one after another, all of whom had wives and children in Huangzhou Prefecture.  The rest of them didn't want to come back at all, they wished to take refuge in Zhao Tianwang, maybe they could get the land directly.

    Sun Kewang lost not only the land of the three counties, but also tens of thousands of people!

    After a moment of silence, Zhang Xianzhong asked: "The enemy army really only has a few thousand people this time? How did you lose?"

    "The enemy army is about 5,000, all soldiers." Sun Kewang recalled the battle that day, and couldn't help but look fearful on his face.  Same. Their firearms are extremely fierce, the cannons can hit very far, and the firecrackers can only fire at twenty or thirty paces. Their formation is also powerful, and the infantry with several times the strength of the charge can't move at all."

    Zhang Xianzhong asked: "How does it compare with the Tianxiong Army?"

    Sun Kewang thought about it carefully, and said: "Tianxiong's army can't form such a tight formation. Father can ask Feng Shuangli about the cavalry he led that day."

    Feng Shuangli said: "Your Majesty, the Jiangxi soldiers are not afraid of the cavalry. At a distance of fifty or sixty steps, facing the cavalry charging, the Jiangxi soldiers did not move. They really did not move. They did not move their feet. The cavalry rushed to shoot arrows, but they just raised their shields.  Block arrows without moving your legs. In fact, if you don’t raise your shield, you can’t shoot any Warring States. Their soldiers have armor.”

    "It's true that they all have armor, not leather armor," Guan Youcai, the general of the Ministry, interjected, "That day I led four thousand men to outflank the flanks, and there were at most seven or eight hundred Jiangxi soldiers in front of me.  The kind with the lining inside, and wearing a rattan helmet with iron plates. I attacked seven or eight hundred with four thousand men, and I was blocked by wolf traps, and I couldn't stand it.  Stabbed to death. The armor worn by those little soldiers is as good as our generals. It was not five thousand soldiers that day, but five thousand generals!"

    Hiss!

    Zhang Xianzhong took a deep breath, and five thousand generals lined up. The scene was terrifying just thinking about it.

    Zhang Xianzhong confirmed: "The cavalry has rushed to twenty or thirty steps, and the formation on the opposite side is not in chaos?"

    Feng Shuangli said: "It's not just chaos, it's not moving at all. The rattan players held up their shields to block the arrows, the firecrackers hid behind and fired in volley, and if they rushed close, there would be spears and wolf whisks. Those wolf whisks are too scary.  I didn’t dare to rush when I got there, I was so scared that I ran to the side.”

    Sun Kewang added: "Jiangxi soldiers are all trained like general Jia Ding."

    Zhang Xianzhong suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, Zhao Han is really fucking rich!

    Zhang Xianzhong's own direct troops can only reach the rank of servants, only one or two thousand.  The other generals and adopted sons can have at most four or five hundred under their command.

    The rest are considered elite if they can wear leather armor!

    Zhang Xianzhong warned in a deep voice: "Don't provoke Zhao Han again, recruit more refugees to farm, recruit more craftsmen to make weapons and armor!"

    "Remember, baby!" Sun Kewang responded quickly.

    Just when Zhang Xianzhong admonished?? Share joys and sorrows.

    While resting at the doctor's side, Lu Xiangsheng found a nun: "What's your name?"

    "Huijing." The nun replied.

    "What about the common name?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

    The nun shook her head: "I don't know. When I was young, my family was poor, and I was sent to the nunnery when I was a few years old. I have long forgotten who I am."

    Lu Xiangsheng asked again: "Do you still believe in Buddhism?"

    The nun took off her hat, showing her full head of hair, and said with a smile, "Now I only believe in Mr. Zhao. In fact, I have long since become vulgar. I only wear this outfit in the military camp. I am married" She pointed to the distance  The Taoist priest who was carrying something said, "My husband has also left the secular world, and he will be discharged from the army when I get pregnant."

    Lu Xiangsheng looked at the nun in front of him and the Taoist priest in the distance, not knowing what to say.

    "Separate two thousand people to come and carry things!"

    The soldiers who were practicing immediately allocated two thousand and ran to the gate of the barracks to carry supplies.

    The quartermaster shouted: "Medical doctor, come quickly and get your clothes and shoes, and firecrackers come and get your new weapons!"

    In the future, doctors no longer need to wear monks' clothes, but uniform canvas uniforms.

    As for the new weapons of the firecrackers, Lu Xiangsheng's eyes lit up.

    It turned out to be a pair of dagger-like things that can be inserted into the front end of the barrel, and the musketeers instantly become spearmen.

    Standing on the general platform, Liu Zhu summoned the firecrackers to give a lecture: "In the future, we will practice bayonet skills more. The town has sent some bayonet skill instructors over. In actual combat, if you understand any tricks, you can also report them to yourself."  Shangguan, if the moves you comprehend are useful, they will be promoted throughout the army!"

    Lu Xiangsheng got a firecracker with a bayonet, tried to stab it a few times, and was full of praise immediately: "This thing is very useful."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 340 [Chongzhen Fundraising]

    When Zhao Han expanded his military system, Huang Taiji was doing the same thing.

    July.

    After Wu Sangui surrendered at Songshan Fort, Huang Taiji personally led the army to bypass Jinzhou.  Facing the heavy encirclement, the deputy general of Xingshan Castle surrendered to the enemy secretly, and cooperated inside and outside to help the Manchus occupy the castle.

    At the same time, Hauge and Duduo led 5,000 cavalry to cut off the passage between Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.

    Although there are more than 10,000 garrison troops in Ningyuan, most of them belong to the village brave regiment.  There are troops recruited by Liaodong military officers, and there are also troops recruited by landlords and wealthy businessmen. The ranks are diverse and the orders are different.

    Both Jin Guofeng and Wu Xiang are the commander-in-chief of the Ningyuan Regiment.

    Wu Sangui brought his family members to persuade him to surrender, and Wu Xiang was ready to move immediately.

    Jin Guofeng is from Shanxi, and he was quite excluded in Liaodong.  Although Ning Yuan took him as the main general, he could only command dozens of family cavalry.

    Seeing that the situation is not good, Jin Guofeng flees with his family, and is surrounded by cavalry led by Duoduo.

    Jin Guofeng would rather die than surrender, and rushed towards more than 2,000 Manchu cavalry with only a few dozen family members.  The entire family was wiped out, and Jin Guofeng, father and son died heroically.

    Once Jin Guofeng died, Wu Xiang surrendered, and Ningyuan was taken by the Qing Dynasty.

    Tashan Fort, sandwiched between Jinzhou and Ningyuan, also chose to surrender.

    The news came out that from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan, all the forts along the way either surrendered or fled collectively to Shanhaiguan.

    Jinzhou.

    Zu Dashou has held on for almost a year, the outer city was lost, and the food in the inner city was exhausted.

    Many buildings in the city were chopped into firewood and burned, and countless people in the city starved to death.

    The personal guard rushed over with a letter, Zu Dashou opened it up for a closer look, and then let out a sigh of relief.

    In the entire east of Shanhaiguan, only his ancestor Dashou is still defending the city, including his relatives and nephews, who have surrendered.

    "Surrender, follow me out of the city." Zu Dashou had no other choice.

    The entire Liaodong fell!

    Due to the large number of Liaodong soldiers who surrendered, the combat effectiveness was uneven, and the command structure was extremely chaotic, Huang Taiji began to reorganize.

    Select 10,000 Liaodong soldiers, plus the Han army who surrendered before, and compile them into the Han army flag.

    The rest of the Liaodong soldiers were thrown away to farm.

    In this reorganization, the Eight Banners system has been improved. Under the Eight Banners, there are Manchurian Banner, Mongolian Banner, and Hanjun Banner.

    Throughout the Qing Dynasty, the Eight Banners Army was about 100,000 people, and the number was not very large.  And they usually have to farm, unlike Zhao Han's regular army, which is completely out of production.

    The structure of each flag is as follows——

    ? XX Banner - Manchuria Banner (Mongolian Banner, Han Army Banner) - Jiala - Niulu.

    Those pure Manchurian banners, like Zhao Han's troops, have about 7,500 troops in each banner, and the eight Manchurian banners add up to only about 60,000.

    The banners are not directly divided by ethnicity. The Mongolian nobles entered the Manchurian Banner, and the Mongols and Manchurians with Han surnames were compiled into the Han Army Banner.

    It is estimated that within half a year, Huang Taiji will not fight again. He must digest the newly occupied territory, and at the same time step up control of the reorganized Han army.

    The Ming court has become numb to this.

    Now there are three governors, Hong Chengchou is in charge of guarding Liaodong, Sun Chuanting is in charge of guarding Shanxi, and Chen Xinjia is in charge of guarding Henan.

    Chongzhen's real actual control sites are only Beizhili and Shandong.

    Although the provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are still under the rule of Ming Dynasty, they have already lost contact with each other, and the money, food and taxes can no longer be transported to the capital.

    All the eunuchs in the various armies were recalled by Chongzhen, and eunuchs were not allowed to intervene in the military.

    However, the supervising army still had to be dispatched, so civilian officials were selected as the supervising army.

    Historically, Zhang Ruoqi, the key figure who led to the fall of Liaodong, had no chance to harm Liaodong and Hong Chengchou this time.

    Well, he harmed Sun Chuanting.

    Zhang Ruoqi's official position is as a doctor in the Ministry of War.

    It looks like a small official, but he is a powerful figure!

    The assessment of rewards and punishments for military exploits, the distribution of military rations, the reorganization of the army, the training of soldiers, the conquest of towns and garrisons are all under the direct jurisdiction of this guy!

    Today, he is also sent to supervise Sun Chuanting's army.

    It only took half a month for Zhang Ruoqi to take Sun Chuanting off the ground, and generals like Yang Guozhu and Wang Pu had to listen to him.

    ?This guy started his career by party struggle, and by ingratiating himself with Yang Sichang, he doesn't understand military affairs at all.

    As soon as he arrived at the front line, he emptied the coach, and then eager to make contributions, ordered all departments to take the initiative.

    ? Yang Guozhu's grain road was cut off, so he surrendered directly to Li Zicheng.

    Li Fuming's lone army went deep into the siege, died in a fierce battle, and the whole army was wiped out.The pressure was too great, so he said: "Go and tell the head of the country that ten thousand taels is too little, why donate twenty thousand taels."

    The eunuch went to pass on the message again. Seeing that Zhou Kui couldn't be fooled, he hurried into the palace to find his daughter.

    Empress Zhou persuaded: "Father, the Ming Dynasty is in dire straits. How can we train troops and suppress thieves without money? As the head of the country, my father should understand the righteousness and set an example for the rich and powerful in the city. The daughter still has some money for himself.  Take them all, at least you have to collect 20,000 taels of silver."

    Queen Zhou gave his father five thousand taels, and Zhou Kui would make up another five thousand taels.

    Back home, Zhou Kui thought about it, but was still reluctant to donate 20,000 yuan.  The five thousand taels given by his daughter, he directly picked out two thousand taels, and took 13,000 taels of silver to donate.

    Inside and out, I only paid 8,000 taels, which is a good deal no matter how you think about it.

    After the father-in-law set an example, the honorable ministers should follow suit, so they took out silver donations one after another, ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of taels per person.

    After donating, I felt that I donated too much, and it spread like a corrupt official, so I posted a note on the door of my house: This house is for sale.

    After a farce, Chongzhen had hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

    Then, he didn't know what to do.

    Shanxi, Henan, and Liaodong are full of bandits on three sides.

    ?That bastard Zuo Liangyu was entrenched in Shandong, and he said all day long that he was hunting Cao Cao thieves, but he didn't listen to the court's transfer at all.

    Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are just lingering.

    Chongzhen summoned Wang Tiaoding, and asked in a flat tone: "Will Zhao Han still take in the descendants of the royal family?"

    Wang Diaoding didn't bother to pretend anymore, so he changed his name directly: "Captain Zhao said that the royal family fell into the hands of thieves, not only the Zhu family's face was lost, but he also felt shameful."

    Chongzhen backed away from the left and right, and said in a low voice: "You take the prince and princess out of Beijing, and go out at night, don't make a fuss. I will give you another imperial decree, canonize Zhao Han as king, and after you leave Beijing, this imperial decree will also let you go.  The cabinet and the six ministries are aware."

    Chongzhen thought about it carefully, and said: "Bring a few officials from the clan's mansion to the south, and I will marry my daughter to Zhao Han and let him be the son-in-law of Ming Dynasty. None of the nobles and relatives in Beijing are worthy of trust. I hope that Zhao Han can keep his promise.  Be kind to my children!"

    (Two updates today.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 341 [Wolf is coming]

    Just take the prince and princess away with this virtue at the end of the Ming Dynasty, I'm afraid that the news will leak before they leave the palace.

    Chongzhen didn't have that ability, so he could only rely on Wang Tiaoding for everything.

    A few days later, Wang Tiaoding made a plan to go out of the city, and Chongzhen was very satisfied with it.

    So the imperial decree was issued, ordering the patriarch of the patriarchal mansion and the captain of the son-in-law, Ran Xingrang, to go to sacrifice to the imperial mausoleum instead of the royal family, and pray for the ancestors and ancestors to protect the Ming Dynasty forever.  Due to the emptiness of the national treasury, the sacrifices were simplified and the scale of sacrifices was minimized.

    This is in line with the practice of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor generally only attends the grand ceremony.

    Usually, sacrifices to the gods of mountains and rivers are mostly handed over to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.  Sacrifice to the imperial mausoleum and so on, let the noble relatives do it for you.

    But this time it was a bit outrageous, Chongzhen seemed to feel that a son-in-law sacrifice was not sincere, and sent his own sons and daughters to sacrifice.

    At this time, Chongzhen had already had children who had not yet died, including the eldest son Zhu Cihong (11 years old), the third son Zhu Cijiong (8 years old), the fourth son Zhu Cixiong (8 years old), Princess Changping (11 years old), and Princess Zhaoren (1 year old).

    Princess Zhaoren was carried out of the city by her wet nurse.

    This kind of sacrificial method is against the rules, but it doesn't matter, who the hell cares about it.

    Civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, including the noble relatives, are trying to make money in different ways.  Just wait for the city of Beijing to be destroyed, and immediately take refuge in the new monarch, so as to keep one's own wealth and honor is the fundamental.

    There are more than a hundred people in the sacrificial team, and they head north in chariots.

    As far as the north direction is concerned, no one guessed that it was heading south.  Who would have thought that when the prince and princess ran away, they would make a fuss first, and it was just to confuse the officials.

    When they arrived at Qinghedian, the son-in-law Ran Xingrang suddenly suffered from abdominal pain, ordered the team to stop and rest, and at the same time sent soldiers back to the city to ask for a doctor.

    According to the geographical location of later generations, Qinghedian is located outside the North Fifth Ring Road, and the scale of a small town has not yet formed in the late Ming Dynasty.

    The battle of sorghum and He in the Song and Liao Dynasties, the base camp of the Liao army is here!

    That night, Ran Xingrang called all the princes and princesses over, as if he was about to die, as if he was going to leave some last words.

    There was a lot of nonsense and intermittent talk, which made Zhu Cihong a little impatient.

    Just at this moment, countless torches were lit on the other side of the Qinghe Bridge, and then there were shouts of killing: "Go into Beijing and capture the emperor alive!"

    ?Everyone turned pale with fright. Officials, factory guards, soldiers, and handymen all ran away one after another, and some didn't even bother to put on their clothes and shoes.

    Ran Xingrang turned over and got up, warning: "Don't panic!"

    The wet nurse was trembling with fright, holding Princess Zhaoren and trying to escape, but her legs were weak and unable to walk, she cried, "Thiswhat can I do?"

    Ran Xingrang scolded: "Shut up!"

    Ran Xingrang hated the princess' wet nurse very much, because when the princess got married in the future, the wet nurse was likely to be the housekeeper of the princess mansion.

    Back then, Ran Xingrang suffered a lot. Every time he met Princess Shouning, he had to bribe the housekeeper and eunuch.  Once, when the housekeeper was drinking and gambling, Ran Xingrang didn't bother, and went directly into the house to have sex with the princess.

    When the housekeeper learned of the situation, she rushed into the room to catch the adulterer, scolded the princess for being shameless, and ordered the eunuch to beat the son-in-law.

    The princess ran to her biological mother (Concubine Zheng) to complain, but she couldn't see her at all.  Because the housekeeper had already sued the villain first, and bought off the eunuchs and maids around Concubine Zheng.

    This situation happened many times in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when both the princess and the consort were bullied.

    A red-helmed general rushed in and said anxiously to Ran Xingrang: "My lord, the intruders are here, hurry up and escort the prince and princess to evacuate!"

    Ran Xingrang smiled and said, "You didn't run for your life?"

    The red-helmed general said: "The royal family and nobles are here, how can we abandon them? Prince Consort, don't say too much, hurry up and protect the prince and princess and escape!"

    "What's your name?" Ran Xingrang asked.

    The red-helmed general was so anxious that he grabbed Zhu Cihong and yelled, "Master, I will take the prince and escape first!"

    "This is the holy decree!"

    Ran Xingrang took out an imperial decree, which belonged to the central decree, and did not go through the supervisor of rituals and the cabinet.

    General Red Helmet froze for a moment, and finally realized that something was wrong.

    Ran Xingrang pointed outside: "Those are not intruders, they are arranged by His Majesty."

    "Your Majesty is going to" The Red Helmets became more and more confused.

    Ran Xingrang explained: "Your Majesty has proclaimed Zhao Han the King of Wu and married Princess Changping. Both the prince and the princess are going to Nanjing. You are very good. There are hundreds of people here, and you are the only one staying to protect the safety of the royal family.  "

    General Red Helmet was shocked, but then he realized that it was reasonable, Daming would definitely perish.sp; Concubine Tian Gui sat up in panic: "How can this be good?"

    Concubine Tian Gui gave birth to two sons, one of whom died last year and another this year.  She became depressed, and Chongzhen often came to have intercourse recently, which can be regarded as comforting Concubine Tian Gui's pain of losing her son.

    Chongzhen smiled calmly: "Continue to sleep, Li Chuang is a fake, I know it well."

    Both Wang Chengen and Concubine Tian Gui were suspicious, thinking that Emperor Chongzhen had been frightened and confused.

    At this moment, Empress Zhou and other concubines also rushed to Concubine Tian's bedroom.

    There is no way to sleep tonight. Chongzhen sat down all the concubines, and said to Wang Chengen: "There are so many eunuchs in the palace, only you come to report the news, and you can see people's hearts in times of trouble."

    "My servant is willing to die for the emperor," Wang Chengen knelt down, "Your lord, hurry up and run away!"

    Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "The intruder didn't come, and you all feel at ease. As for the prince and princess, they must have gone far away by boat at this time. The South is gone, the Central Plains are gone, and the Northwest and Liaodong are gone. Da Ming and I, etc.  It's just death. While you're still alive, let's live a clean life. All these years, I have been busy, and now I can finally take it easy."

    Historically, the southern provinces were still in the hands of Daming, and Chongzhen was busy fighting wits and courage with his ministers.

    Chongzhen wanted to move south, implying that the minister proposed it on his own initiative.

    Some ministers also wanted to move south, and hoped that Chongzhen would take the initiative.

    Kings and ministers dare not talk about moving south, even if any minister speaks out, he will be sprayed bloody by the ministers.

    So it was exhausted all the time, until Li Zicheng's troops came to the city.

    Now you don't have to worry so much, and you can't find a place to move the capital. Chongzhen decided to enjoy the rest of his life, and the whole family committed suicide when the city of Beijing was destroyed.

    Especially tonight, the whole city was in chaos, and only one Wang Chengen came to report.

    Fake news is like this, Li Zicheng can still defend when he calls?

    "Haha, don't be so sad, go to Xiyuan Lake tomorrow!"

    Chongzhen laughed heartily, taking care of nothing, as if returning to the time when he was a prince.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Body 342【Rebellion and Rebellion】

    Imperial City, Xiyuan.

    Zhengde raised leopards here, Jiajing practiced Taoism here, Wanli held parties here, and Tianqi worked as a carpenter here.

    Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, he has hardly set foot in Xiyuan.  He determined to be a diligent king, and thought that Xiyuan was a plaything, so Xiyuan became a decoration.

    Today, Chongzhen takes his concubine to visit the lake in Xiyuan every day.

    The sky is high and the air is crisp, the wind is blowing, and life is so beautiful.

    Chongzhen completely let go of the mess in the imperial court.  The inner court is handed over to the ceremonial supervisor, and the outer court is handed over to the cabinet. They can do whatever they want. Anyway, it doesn't matter if there is an emperor or not.

    Queens and concubines often cry in private because they know that their time is numbered.

    But facing Chongzhen, they forcefully smiled.  And there is nothing to argue about, the harem has become extremely harmonious, and they even learned how to play mahjong.

    Yes, play mahjong.

    In recent years, Wang Tiaoding not only presented books to Chongzhen, but also presented many novelties from the south.

    At this moment, the queen and concubines are playing cards on Qionghua Island in Nanhaizi.  A few hundred meters to the east is Meishan, the place where Chongzhen hanged himself in history. I don’t know if he has chosen the place to die now.

    Chongzhen sat in front of the window, looking at the distant scenery, behind him was the sound of playing mahjong.

    The sun shines in through the shade of the trees, blowing the lake breeze from time to time, and Chongzhen is extremely comfortable leaning on the chair.

    He sometimes thinks that if he was born a hundred years ago, he might be able to live his life in peace like this.

    Chongzhen opened the latest edition of "Datong Collection", which was left by Wang Tiaoding.

    "Sanyuan Chapter" shocked Chongzhen greatly. He is the "Emperor of Fengtian Chengyun", and Zhao Han will be "Emperor of Fengmin Chengyun" in the future?

    Putting aside all prejudices, Chongzhen can now read books calmly.

    He finally read "Da Tong Ji" into it, and finally understood why Zhao Han gained power.  But it is useless, and it is useless to understand it ten years earlier. "Heaven" is the source of his legal system, and he is not an emperor if he puts the people first.

    ? After closing the pages of the book, Chongzhen wrote down an imperial edict, and asked the eunuchs to take it out, handed it over to the ceremonial supervisor and the cabinet for review, and then took it to the imperial edict room to write the real imperial edict.

    Chief Assistant Xue Guo saw the content of the imperial decree, although he was extremely shocked, he remained calm and even had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

    ? No wonder the emperor has ignored government affairs recently, no wonder the princes and daughters suddenly disappeared.

    It turned out that Chongzhen had already laid down and waited to die, and married the princess to Zhao Han, and wanted to canonize Zhao Han as King of Wu.

    Xue Guoguan carefully drafted the imperial edict, handed it over to the edict making room and the ceremonial supervisor to make the edict and seal, and then asked the Ministry of Rites to engrave the seals of "Wu Wang" and "Consort Duwei".

    In a few days, the big seal will be engraved.

    The Ministry of Rites, the Supervisor of Rituals, the Department of Pedestrians, Jinyiwei These institutions broke their heads and rushed to Nanjing to proclaim Zhao Han. First, they could form a good relationship with the new monarch, and second, they could take the opportunity to seek refuge in the south.

    Xue Guoguan didn't think about leaving the capital. His floating wealth and property in the capital were worth at least two to three million taels of silver.

    Where can he go after leaving Beijing?

    Return to Shaanxi to die?  Or was it robbed by bandits halfway?

    He can only squat in the capital, waiting for the arrival of the new king, and then he will make a contribution to the city.  This is true when Li Zicheng comes, and it is still the same when Zhao Han comes. Anyway, whoever comes to Beijing will be demoted.

    Of course, Xue Guoguan hoped that Zhao Han would come first.

    ?After all, the court had already spread the word that King Zhao Tianwang of Jiangxi did not grab money, but just wanted to forcibly divide the land.  If Li Zicheng came, he would probably have to spend a fortune, because the rogues are known to be good at looting.

    Because Chongzhen ignored the government, the officials also gave up on themselves.

    A large number of officials with little money simply left with their seals and dragged their families to Nanjing.  They are not going to follow the thieves, but to take refuge in Daming King Wu.

    Everyone knows the meaning of King Wu.

    Zhu Yuanzhang was the king of Wu before he ascended the throne!

    Tianjin.

    The city of Tianjin was besieged, and the rebel army blocked the Grand Canal. These people came from Liaodong.

    A large number of people in Liaodong fled to Shanhaiguan to seek refuge with the guards of the forts.

    Ma Ke, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan, worried about the shortage of troops, took the opportunity to recruit these Liaodong soldiers, and expanded his troops by several thousand at once.

    However, the fleeing people could not be resettled, and Hong Chengchou tried to engage in reclamation.  But he was short of food, so he could only arrange for two or three thousand refugees, and the rest were left to fend for themselves.

    ? These Liaodong refugees scattered and begged in different directions.  After staying away from Shanhaiguan, it quickly evolved into two uprising armies in the north and the south.

    In the north, the bandits who were not wiped out by Hong Chengchou,sp; Just when the soldiers were transporting food, something went wrong.

    A Tianjin garrison carried food and complained: "We haven't paid for half a year, and the rations are hungry and full. So much food, we don't give it to our own people, and let us give it to the rebels. What the hell is this?"  reason?"

    "That's right, being an honest soldier and being bullied, we might as well rebel!"

    "The rebels outside said they were going to seek refuge with Zhao Tianwang. Why don't they kill the governor and go together?"

    "I dare not go. I heard that Zhao Tianwang wants to eat people. If his soldiers lose the battle, they will be killed for meat."

    "Fart, I heard Zhao Tianwang is very benevolent."

    "In this world, which leader of the army is benevolent and righteous? Zhao Tianwang was able to conquer the south because he relied on cannibalism. The soldiers are afraid of being killed to eat, and they will die in battle."

    "Scholars in Tianjin say that Zhao Tianwang loves the people like a son."

    "Zhao Tianwang cannibalism is also said by scholars."

    ""

    Whether Zhao Tianwang eats human flesh or not is a topic of debate.

    However, a consensus has been reached on killing the governor and rebelling.

    A group of soldiers who have not been paid for half a year, not even given enough rations, let them give the food to the rebels, what do you think the soldiers will think?

    "Bah!"

    Liu Mang drew out his waist knife: "Brothers, kill the dog officer and go to the south to seek refuge with Zhao Tianwang!"

    Thirteen years ago, Liu Mang was in charge of the team.

    Thirteen years later, Liu Mang is still in charge of the team.

    Now that he can't even eat enough, he has no more thoughts.  Killing officials and rebelling south, regardless of whether Zhao Tianwang eats people or not, anyway, he doesn't have to face the Tartars when he goes to the south.

    "Kill!"

    Hundreds of soldiers who were in charge of carrying food turned back at the gate of the city.

    First he hacked to death the general who led the troops, then rushed to the tower, and chopped the terrified governor into meat paste.

    (Whether Princess Changping was a posthumous gift from the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not yet determined, and we will not debate it. The last chapter has been changed to Princess Kunxing.)

 Text 343 [Dutch Messenger] (addition for Penguin)

    Nanjing.

    When the Dutch envoy Matthies came here, he had the urge to prostrate and kneel down in an instant.

    On the 20-meter-high city wall, there are three-story towers built. The height of the building is nearly 30 meters, which makes Matheis feel small as a mortal.

    Miracle, this is a miracle left by God in the world!

    Matais has been to Guangzhou and Fuzhou, and he is still staying in Hangzhou this time.  The above three cities are not as shocking as Nanjing City. Matthies never even dreamed that such a city could appear in the world.

    The embassy was brought into the city, shoulder to shoulder with the crowd, making them feel like boats in the sea.

    The population of this city is probably larger than the entire Netherlands, right?

    After being arranged to stay for a few days, Matais was finally allowed to meet Zhao Han.

    "Great King," Matthias saluted respectfully, "On behalf of His Excellency the Governor of the Dutch East India Company Batavia, I have come to negotiate with you, hoping to properly resolve the dispute between the two parties."

    Zhao Han asked blankly: "I heard that you took my horse off?"

    Matheis replied: "Your Majesty's war horses have been properly transported to Batavia, and are taken care of by very professional horse breeders. When I left Batavia, only 41 horses died. God will bless them.  "

    "Tell me, why are you willing to pay me back." Zhao Han was too lazy to go around the corner.

    Matais laughed and said, "After deducting the deposit you paid to the Dutchman, each horse will charge 60 taels of silver."

    For the second batch of horse breeds, Zhao Han paid a deposit of 10,000 taels of silver in advance.

    As a result, it was robbed by the Dutch when it was transported halfway.

    If the Dutch could transport the horse breeds to Shanghai and charge only 60 taels of silver for each horse, Zhao Han would have paid much less for the horses.

    This is the initiative of the Netherlands to release goodwill, obviously wanting to exchange for some benefits.

    Zhao Han asked: "Does Malacca belong to the Netherlands?"

    "It's coming soon," Matthies said, "The Netherlands has blocked the Strait of Malacca, and has invaded the outer city of Malacca, and is surrounding and bombarding the castle of Malacca."

    Why did the Netherlands seize the Indian colonial stronghold? This time it recruited thousands of mercenaries, including Swedish mercenaries, German and Swiss mercenaries.

    Portugal has colonized the East for more than a hundred years and has made too many enemies.

    Also as a colonist, the Netherlands is allies everywhere.  Sumatra, Java, Ceylon, Malayathe countries in these places are willing to help the Netherlands fight and work together to overthrow the brutal Portuguese rule.

    Take Malacca as an example. The Netherlands first attacked Ceylon, and the Portuguese defenders in Malacca immediately rushed to support.

    So there are only one or two defenders left in Malacca.

    A funny situation happened.

    The Portuguese castle, which was defended by more than 100 people, was bombarded by the Dutch for two months.  The mercenaries didn't work either, they couldn't stand the tropical climate, and half of them got sick from beating them.  The Kingdom of Johor also sent 2,000 soldiers to assist in the battle, but they still couldn't eat the castle.

    In the end, the Portuguese themselves surrendered because they ran out of food.

    If there is enough food in stock, these more than 100 Portuguese will probably be able to stick to Malacca for several years

    Matheis said: "Your Majesty, the ports of Guangzhou and Fuzhou, please open to the Dutch fleet."

    If you say open, then open, I don't want to lose face?

    Zhao Han replied: "Ten taels of silver per horse is considered as the freight for you, and it will be shipped to Fuzhou and handed over to Zheng Zhilong. If more than 50 horses die, the Dutch will not be able to land in any port in China in the future!"

    "Of course, great king, if too many horses die, we will re-ship them to make up for them." Matthias was very happy.

    It doesn't matter how much money the war horse has. The main purpose of the Dutch is to do business with China in person.

    Zhao Han doesn't care about this, who is not doing business with?

    If the Dutch occupy Malacca and buy horses from the Dutch in the future, the price will definitely be much cheaper.

    Moreover, the Dutch can fight naval battles and can compete with Zheng Zhilong!

    That guy Zheng Zhilong has been pretending to be deaf and dumb.  Except for selling the six warships to Zhao Han at a low price, the other warships were not willing to hand over, as if they had to wait until Zhao Han proclaimed himself emperor before making a statement.

    Zhao Han said again: "I want ten Dutch shipbuilders, and as long as they are excellent, don't use ordinary goods to fool me. If the shipbuilders' skills are too bad, I will ban trade with the Netherlands at any time."

    Matais immediately agreed: "There is no problem, we will meet His Majesty's request."

    The Netherlands has nothing else, and there are too many shipbuilders to involve.

    Today's global maritimenbsp; Changping warehouses are used for relief during disasters, and can also be opened to release grain to stabilize rice prices.

    "Then it's settled like this, and we will change it later if there are problems." Zhao Han accepted the proposal.

    The territory expanded to several provinces, and with the feedback from local officials, Zhao Han discovered more and more problems.  The previous policy could be implemented in one or two provinces, but it would be unrealistic in a few more provinces.

    "Is there enough food to fight this year?" Zhao Han reconfirmed.

    Fei Chun said with a smile: "It's definitely enough, but it's best to stop entering the army within three months."

    Pang Chun said: "JAC can be taken in two months."

    Li Banghua said: "There are mainly three enemies in the prefectures and counties of the Jianghuai River. One is Luo Rucai from the direction of Lu'an, the second is the Cao thief from Xuzhou, and the third is the salt thief from Rugao. Wars are easy to fight. After the battle, the Cao army  He and Yanhu have to be resettled, they were all forced by the government to rebel."

    Zhao Han said: "Except for Luo Rucai, if the other enemy generals are willing to surrender and hand over all their property, they will all be treated as civilians and they will be given land."

    "Who knows if all the property has been handed over?" Chen Maosheng asked.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Escort his whole family to other prefectures and counties to divide the land and settle down. How much silver taels can he bring with him? He has kept a few hundred taels privately, and I don't bother to pursue it. If he hides too much, he will beheaded immediately!"

    Pang Chunlai sighed: "Let's see if they are willing to surrender. Surrendering is the best, so as not to cause more killings, but also save a lot of rations."

 Body 344【Cao Cao】

    "Brother, brother, does this suit look good?" Zhao Zhenfang ran in bouncing around.

    Zhao Han is cooling off by the pool. Although it is the autumn harvest season, the autumn tiger in Nanjing is even hotter.

    Fei Rulan and Pan Qimei also came in, and they were each wearing new clothes. It seemed that they had just gone shopping in a clothing store.

    All tube top Perot shirts, Fei Rulan is better, the sleeves are up to the wrist.  Zhao Zhenfang and Pan Qimei were both wearing half-sleeved sleeves, their snow-white arms were exposed.

    Don't think that ancient women dressed conservatively. From the paintings left by the Song and Ming dynasties, we can see that women in summer dress very openly.

    There are sleeveless shirts, and both arms are completely exposed.  You can still see a tube top inside, and you don't even wear a tube top, which vaguely reveals that.

    Of course, this is in my own yard.

    When going out, you will wear an extra bijia (sleeveless and collarless double-breasted vest).

    Fei Rulan smiled and said, "My clan brother (Fei Ruyi) also moved to Nanjing and opened a clothing store. Please invite us to be the first batch of customers."

    "Very beautiful." Zhao Han praised.

    Holding a bag of melon seeds in her hand, Zhao Zhenfang sat by the pool and kowtowed non-stop: "I heard that eldest sister is going to Gaoyou?"

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "When Gaoyou is captured, my brother-in-law will go over there to be the magistrate."

    The elder sister's matter has been settled, and Xu Zhiyuan has reconciled with his original partner.  His original wife married Zheng Yu, and followed Zheng Yu to Fujian to be an official.

    In addition, the Xu family is temporarily split into three branches.

    One stayed in Jiangnan, one moved to Fujian, and one moved to Hunan.  This kind of big family will continue to be dismantled in the future, not only the Xu family, but many big families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will also be dismantled.

    Fei Yinghuan, Lou's family, and Fei Rumei's family are all in Zhejiang at this time, and Fei Yinghuan's official position is the prefect of Jinhua.

    Fei Rulan sat by the pool for a while, feeling terribly hot.  Then he got up and left, and came back with Xiyue after a while, and put a few bowls of "milk ice" on the tray.

    "I learned how to relieve heat a few days ago." Fei Rulan said with a smile.

    Milk ice can be divided into milk and goat milk. Milk is added to the ice, and condiments such as jam are added, which is not much different from modern ice cream.

    The method of making ice with saltpeter existed in the Tang and Song dynasties.

    The cold drink shops in the Song Dynasty night market did not close until the middle of the night.

    When Fei Rulan and the others came to Nanjing, they didn't enjoy much else, but tried all kinds of street snacks and drinks.

    Zhao Han scooped up the ice cream with a spoon, and it felt icy in the mouth, and the heat disappeared three points immediately. He commented: "The taste is too sweet, you can put less sugar."

    "I think it's just right." Pan Qimei said while licking the ice cream.

    Zhao Zhenfang nodded again and again: "Yes, just right, it won't taste good if it's not sweet."

    Zhao Han could only agree that the sweetness was right. Looking at the people in front of him, he couldn't help but think of the women drinking milk tea all over the street.

    Women are all the same in ancient times and modern times.

    Everyone was eating cold drinks when Zheng Sen suddenly came to see him.

    The kid ran to the pool, first winked at Zhao Zhenfang, and the little girl immediately rolled her eyes back.

    Zheng Sen cupped his hands and said: "Commander, my father heard that there are not enough warships in the Shanghai Navy, so he is willing to sell 20 warships at a low price."

    "I've made up my mind." Zhao Han was neither pleased nor annoyed.

    The warship that Zheng Zhilong is willing to sell must not be small, but it is not big, so it can be regarded as a medium-sized ship.  But there is almost no ocean-going capability, and the Dutch shipbuilders have to be recruited to build them slowly using Western-style shipbuilding methods.

    Both Chinese and Western sea ships have their own advantages.

    If you want to improve your combat effectiveness, a western-style warship is better.  This has nothing to do with shipbuilding technology, but is determined by the hull structure.

    Zheng Sen hesitated to speak.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Your father wants to be an official?"

    "He always wanted to be an official." Zheng Sen said helplessly.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I want to be an official, but I don't want to part with the Nanyang trade, and let the merchant ships of various countries pay him protection fees. Can he take advantage of all the benefits in the world?"

    Zheng Sen sighed: "My father won't listen to advice."

    Until now, Zhao Han has not appointed Zheng Zhilong as an official, and his identity is the Daming Coastal Defense Guerrilla.

    Seeing that Zhao Han's territory is getting bigger and bigger, Zheng Zhilong is a little anxious.

    Zhao Han was not in a hurry, and let Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch wait until he took up more territory in the inland area.

    The autumn harvest is over and the grain is in storage, it is time to send troops

    The South Court Army did not move for the time being, and half of them stayed in Guangdong to guard against the enemies of Guangxi.  Half of them entered Fujian to suppress bandits. There are a large number of bandits in the mountainous areas of Fujian.The bell was rung and the whistle was blown, and the peasants, soldiers and peasant associations quickly assembled.

    Luo Rucai killed dozens of villagers, and when he saw the rest of the villagers assembled into an army, he immediately ordered to turn around and leave.

    Arriving at the next village, there was another attack and killing. After the villagers gathered, Luo Ru escaped again with the cavalry.

    Two thousand cavalry marched through villages and towns, raiding and killing hundreds of peasants in three days.

    He had no other intention, but to disturb the rear of the Datong Army, so that Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong, who had just occupied Luzhou, could not concentrate on attacking Lu'an.

    Zhao Han's shortcoming of not having cavalry was finally exposed, and he couldn't even chase after him. He had to mobilize several times the number of troops to chase and intercept him.

    Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong had nothing to do about it. In ten days, more than 2,000 farmers were killed or injured.

    Luo Rucai's cavalry rushed into the village and chopped it down, and they didn't deliberately massacre the village. Anyway, they ran away after killing people, and they couldn't even touch the shadow of ghosts.

    In desperation, Huang Shun simply ignored it and led his troops to attack Luo Rucai's territory.

    "Son of a bitch!"

    "It's not for grabbing food, it's just for killing people. If I catch Luo Rucai, I will cut him into pieces!"

    When Zhao Han got the news in Nanjing, he was furious and sent the cavalry from Jeju Island ahead of time.  The Mawari horses continued to breed, and the Jeju pony was temporarily used to fight, only to kill Luo Ru so that he would not be allowed to kill everywhere.

    From Shanghai to Jeju Island, it only takes a few days to go back and forth.

    Hu Dinggui, Wang Yaochen, and Chen Tangong came with cavalry, while Lu Xiangguan stayed in Jeju Island to manage the civil affairs.

    In a fit of rage, Zhao Han called Lu Xiangsheng, and asked Lu Xiangsheng to lead the cavalry to chase the enemy.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Body 345 [Dragon Cavalry Battle]

    No matter how much the cavalry harassed and harassed, they could only be disgusting, and it was the battle of justice that decided the outcome.

    When Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong led troops to surround Lu'an, Luo Rucai could only lead the cavalry to move back and forth between Shucheng and Lu'an, trying to cut off the grain transportation channel of the Datong army.

    These cavalry can no longer run around. Although they are still raging in villages and towns, the range of their movement is restricted.

    Luo Rucai only looked at the formation and equipment of the Datong Army, and knew that he would definitely not be able to fight.  So he wanted to cut off the food roads, deplete the morale of the Datong Army, and wait for the opportunity to launch a fatal blow when the Datong Army was short of food.

    "My lord, we found a food delivery team ahead!"

    "Go, here comes the deal!"

    These old thieves are really capable. For nearly a month, they ate, drank and slopped all on the road.  Go to bed at night, just put on a blanket, and it doesn't matter if you let the mosquitoes bite you.

    Woke up during the day and rode wildly. When the horse was about to get tired, he quickly moved to a relatively safe area.

    After resting, he ran out again, never staying too long.  And only grabbing food for a day or two, can resist not grabbing goods, and try to keep your mobility as much as possible.

    "The thieves are coming, line up!"

    Three thousand peasants and one thousand peasants and soldiers transported grain and grass with carts.

    After Jiangxi was able to produce its own telescope, this kind of equipment has been popularized to middle-level officers.  In order to guard against cavalry, it is even specially equipped for food transport teams.

    When Luo Rucai rushed forward with the cavalry, the trolleys had quickly formed into a formation.

    On the outside are grain trucks, on the inside are farmers and soldiers, and on the inside are civilian husbands.

    Zhao Han has upgraded his equipment every time, and all the eliminated ones are distributed to farmers and soldiers.  These peasants and soldiers were all wearing leather armor, and the peasants raised their shields one after another to avoid being shot by the cavalry's arrows.

    "Fuck into his mother!"

    Luo Rucai reined in his horse and stopped far away, feeling a little headache watching the car formation.

    The food transportation team of 4,000 people, facing the surprise attack of 2,000 cavalry, if it was replaced by the official army, it would probably have collapsed by this time.

    But not only the peasants and soldiers did not collapse, the peasants did not run away, but they also took the initiative to gather the trolleys into a circle.

    With a big wave of Luo Rucai's hand, the cavalry divided into two teams and charged towards the two sides of the food transport team.  According to his experience, if he rushed within twenty or thirty steps, the enemy soldiers would definitely run away in fright.

    "Don't look outside, bury your head and raise your shield to hide!" The officer of the grain transportation team shouted.

    In fact, the peasants are also afraid. There are shields on the grain trucks, and they are all holding the shields at the moment, squatting in the center of the trucks and shivering.

    As for those farmers and soldiers, not only were they wearing leather armor, but they were all wearing small round hats.  This kind of round hat can not only block the sun, but also defend against arrows, which is cheap and useful equipment.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    Luo Rucai saw that the threat of charging did not work, so he ordered the cavalry to start shooting arrows.

    The peasants and soldiers used the grain trucks as fortifications, squatted halfway behind the trucks with small round hats, and stretched out their long guns, waiting for the cavalry to come and die.

    The cavalry fired arrows for two consecutive rounds. Although they caused damage, the effect was not great.

    "Ah! My feet, my feet!"

    "I've been hit by an arrow, I'm going to die!"

    Several civilians shouted in horror, but arrows penetrated through the gap between the shields.

    The officers of the food transportation team shouted: "Don't move, don't shout! Whoever dares to move will take back the family property. This is what was agreed before departure!"

    After shouting several times in a row, the chaos in the car formation quickly stabilized.

    Luo Rucai didn't order to release arrows anymore, and each cavalry only brought two quiver.  Now that Lu'an is surrounded, they can't resupply nearby, and the arrows they use are one less.

    "Rush again!"

    Luo Rucai led the cavalry and charged again threateningly, but the chariot formation of the food transport team remained motionless.

    Facing such a situation, Luo Rucai finally went blind, and simply let the cavalry dismount to rest, and fed some salt water to restore the horse's strength.

    After a while, Luo Ru led his troops into the distant woods.

    The sun is shining directly in this place, even if people don't suffer from heatstroke, the horses do too.

    By the way, wait for the grain transportation team to start again, and charge in the middle during the march.

    Waiting left and right, the food transportation team actually stayed in place, and took out dry food and drinking water to eat and drink on the spot.

    All food transport teams are ordered, and their first priority is to ensure safety.

    Both sides are so exhausted.

    It is very worthwhile for the Datong Army to be able to use a grain transport team to hold Luo Rucai's cavalry from raging in the area

    Lu Xiangsheng's war horse was not from Jeju, but was collected by Zhao Han from wealthy households.

    &n?Shoot each other for an hour, and start to fight until one side can't hold it anymore (don't worry about muscle strain, the horse bow has a small tension and will not be fully drawn).

    Therefore, the standard horse bow of the frontier cavalry of the Ming Dynasty has two barbs on the tip of the bow.  Once your own arrows are shot, you can use the bow tip barb to pick up the arrow that fell on the ground, and shoot it back after getting the arrow.

    "Dismount and light the match!"

    The match made of ramie can burn continuously for 30-40 minutes, and the match must be replaced after burning out.

    Under the high-speed running of the horses, the matchlock burns faster, and it takes about 20 minutes to change one - the flintlock is the destination of the dragoons.

    Luo Rucai's cavalry was divided into two teams. Instead of rushing straight at the Datong cavalry, they passed by the Datong cavalry, intending to shoot an arrow as they passed by.

    Within 30 steps is the best range for the horse bow, but generally around 40 steps will be used to shoot the arrow.

    Seeing that all the Datong cavalry dismounted and raised their firecrackers to aim, Luo Rucai suddenly didn't know how to fight.

    The shooting range of the firecracker must be far beyond the horse bow, and it will be a disadvantage to shoot it.

    Taking advantage of the enemy's dismounting, he rushed over desperately?

    There is not so much time to think on the battlefield, and the rogue cavalry has already made habitual actions.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Fifty paces away, the Datong cavalry opened fire one after another. Immediately after firing their guns, they got on their horses and rushed towards the hillside.

    Before the rogue cavalry had time to release their arrows, they were shot by two thousand firecrackers.

    They were running at high speed, and the formation was very scattered, so they were not so easy to be hit, but they were still hit by 11 people at one time.  Many of them aimed at the one in front, but the bullet hit the one behind.

    Bows and arrows came from both sides, and 2 Datong cavalrymen were shot.  At such a long distance, even without armor, it will basically not cause fatal injuries.

    The positions of the two sides were exchanged, the Datong cavalry was on the slope, and the Rogue cavalry was on the downhill.

    After opening the distance, the Datong cavalry quickly dismounted and stood in place to load ammunition.

    Now Zhao Han's firecrackers don't use cardboard bullets.  Instead, a measuring cup made of a small bamboo tube is used. A cup of smoothing is just enough for gunpowder, and it is more convenient to use than a cardboard bullet.

    Luo Rucai ordered the cavalry to meet again, and the cavalry of Datong was condescending, and the shooting was even more enjoyable this time.

    Hit 19 enemies at a time, and run away immediately after firing the gun.

    "Rush up and fight!"

    It was only then that Luo Ru figured it out that he couldn't shoot at each other like before, but had to go straight up and fight hand-to-hand before the enemy had time to reload.

    Both sides chased and fled, and came to the grain transportation team again.

    The grain transport team was crossing the creek, about half way through.  Seeing that the friendly army was being chased, the rest of the peasants and soldiers formed an formation immediately. Hu Dinggui led the cavalry to hide behind the spear formation, and the whole army quickly dismounted and reloaded the ammunition.

    Luo Rucai was so angry that his teeth itch: "Damn it, there's no way to fight this, retreat back to Lu'an!"

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 346 [Chasing and Killing] (Adding more updates for the penguin boss)

    After loading the ammunition, Hu Dinggui ordered the whole army to replace the matchlocks, and then quickly chased the rogue cavalry.

    Lu'an has been surrounded, and the area between Lu'an, Luzhou, and Shucheng can be called Zhao Han's territory.  Hu Dinggui is fighting in his own territory, while Luo Rucai is a lone army.

    The two sides chased and fled, always keeping a distance of two or three miles.

    An hour later, both of them were exhausted.

    Luo Rucai ordered the whole army to dismount, fed the horses bean cakes and salt water, and looked fiercely in the direction of the enemy's pursuit.

    After chasing to a distance of one mile, Hu Dinggui also ordered to feed the horses, and at the same time lit the matchlock again.

    It seems that there is some kind of tacit understanding, and they wait for the horse to rest before continuing to chase and flee.

    Luo Rucai ran out with the cavalry to bully Zhao Han for not having cavalry, and wanted to ravage the rear and cut off the food road.  Since the plan failed, there is no need for him to stay any longer. The most important thing is to go back quickly. His city is being besieged!

    Hu Dinggui wanted to drive Luo Rucai away and prevent this guy from raging in the area.  Even if it collapses, don't collapse in Shucheng County, otherwise the fleeing cavalry will kill the people indiscriminately.

    After the two sides entered the border of Lu'an, the scenery was obviously different.

    Although the fields in Shucheng have been divided not long ago, the weeds in the fields have been cleared, crops are being planted one after another, and there are people living in every village.

    On the other side of Lu'an, weeds are everywhere, and many farmers have already dragged their families away.

    ? Even the rich and wealthy households in Lu'an abandoned their land and came to Zhao Han's site to ask for a share of the land.  Although he lost most of his property, at least he was able to save his life. Zhao Tianwang was much more merciful than the bandits.

    Luo Rucai wanted to get off his horse to rest again, but this time Hu Dinggui kept chasing after him.

    All the way to the outside of Lu'an City, the horses on both sides were exhausted, but they still couldn't stop.

    The moat has been filled, and Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong are bombarding the city wall.

    Luo Ru didn't dare to rush into the infantry formation, so he could only run around the city.  And with Datong cavalry behind him, the city guards did not dare to open the door rashly.

    Luo Rucai led his troops to run against the city wall, and shouted to the soldiers in the city: "Shoot the arrows and shoot the enemy cavalry to death!"

    Hu Dinggui didn't dare to get too close to the city wall, and kept chasing along the outside of the moat.

    There were only 7,500 soldiers besieging the city, so it was naturally impossible to encircle them in groups.  Luo Rucai rushed to the gate of the city farthest from the army, and the defenders quickly opened the gate, and the tower was covered with archers, ready to shoot and kill the Datong cavalry.

    Hu Dinggui didn't chase anymore, and watched Luo Rucai enter the city.

    Because he has been chasing for too long, the matchlock has burned out, and it will take time to replace it.

    The whole army dismounted and led the horses back.

    "How long will it take?" Hu Dinggui asked.

    Huang Shun replied, "One or two more days of bombing will destroy the city wall."

    Fei Yinggong laughed and said, "If you're lucky, the city wall will collapse today."

    Lu'an was full of disasters and disasters, and the rogues came several times, and many city walls were already damaged.

    Zhang Liang of Anlu Road, Xu Pan of Zhizhou, and Luo Jie of the general judge, the three officials repaired it for several years.  Due to insufficient money and food, they could only rely on private donations, and the city walls were not repaired firmly.

    Fei Yinggong pointed to the city wall and said: "According to the local guide, there are eight forts on the city tower, equipped with eight city anti-bronze cannons. We will not be bombarded in this direction, and your cavalry should not run around."

    "Understood." Hu Dinggui said.

    That night.

    Luo Rucai called his generals and prepared to flee with the old camp and abandon the city.

    There is no way to stay in this ruined city. If it is bombarded any longer, the city wall will collapse sooner or later, so there is no need to die here.

    He is a rogue, fleeing and fighting is his old profession, but defending the city will fall into the bottom line.

    They didn't bother to bring their belongings, so everyone brought some dry food with them, and quietly opened the city gate in the middle of the night.  His wives, concubines, theater troupe, treasures, and three thousand old battalion infantry are all far away in Guangzhou, and Lu'an City can be abandoned at any time.

    A man holds a piece in his mouth, a horse binds his hooves, and sneaks away at night.

    The city gates here are all old camps, and the new thieves don't know about it.  The old thief's infantry had no horses, and they all rode donkeys and mules, and fled north along the Pi River.

    "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

    "Beep beep beep beep beep"

    After walking about two miles, he was finally discovered by the Datong sentinel, and the sound of copper whistle and suona sounded one after another.

    "Let's go!"

    War horses, mules, and donkeys ran wildly with thousands of old thieves on their backs.

    Hu Dinggui and Lu Xiangsheng woke up in the middle of the night and hurriedly mounted their horses to chase after the enemy.

    Huang Shun, Fei Yinggong??I was disgusted, and my heart was simmering with raging anger, and today I can finally vent it.

    If there is not one left, all of them will be hacked to death.

    Lu Xiangsheng laughed loudly and said, "Hahahaha, happy, happy!"

    Hu Dinggui sighed and said: "It's a pity that the enemy cavalry ran away. Those bastards killed many farmers."

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "Don't be impatient, the army will kill them and take back all the cities. Luo Ru will be executed sooner or later!"

    "Yes, fight all the way to the edge of the Huaihe River, and take all of Luo Rucai's territory!" Hu Dinggui gritted his teeth.

    Lu Xiangsheng wiped the blood on the blade and praised: "Good knife!"

    Hu Dinggui said with a smile: "These knives have been tempered thousands of times. They were hammered repeatedly day and night in Jiangxi with a big water wheel, and they were made by the best knife smiths."

    In fact, this kind of saber is collectively referred to as waist sword, Gongbu sword and Yanling sword.

    The infantry and cavalry are slightly different, and the early Ming and late Ming are slightly different, but the general shape is the same.

    Datong's horse-riding saber is more slender, and the length of the handle and the blade is about one meter.

    Under the setting sun, this strange cavalry returned triumphantly.

    They wore neat and simple canvas military uniforms, high leather boots on their feet, wild goose feather waist knives, and long muskets on their backs.  This is the first batch of troops to change their uniforms.

    It doesn't matter if the left lapel is right lapel. In the Song and Ming dynasties, a large number of clothes were double lapels.

    Especially after the Yuan Dynasty, Daming absorbed Mongolian clothing elements, and the previous emperors liked to wear Mongolian clothing.

    I believe that many young people will follow suit after the Datong cavalry entered the city several times.

    It is not to learn from them to fight, but to learn how to dress them. This kind of double-breasted clothes will soon become popular.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 347 [Salt Law Reform]

    Luo Rucai escaped completely, not only giving up Lu'an, but also giving up all the territories.

    Gushi, Shangcheng, Guangzhou, Guangshan, Xixian, Luoshan, Xinyang, these counties were all thrown to Zhao Han.  He led the elite old battalion, engulfed a large number of new thieves and civilians, and ran across the Huaihe River to the hinterland of Henan.

    Li Zicheng's main force has already left and gathered at the Shanxi and Henan borders, trying to attack Beizhili with all his strength.

    The situation in the hinterland of Henan is very complicated. There are dozens of rebels, large and small.  On the surface, they belonged to Li Zicheng, but secretly attacked and robbed each other. Luo Rucai was going to annex those forces.

    Head-to-head with Zhao Han?

    Luo Rucai's gang name is "Cao Cao", and he will never fight if he can't fight a tough battle, and he will be like a mad dog when he has to fight.

    "Captain, a letter from the front line."

    There are several letters, one is written by Hu Dinggui.

    This kid admired Lu Xiangsheng very much, and in those few pursuit battles, it was Lu Xiangsheng who made the decisions on whether to retreat or advance at critical moments.

    Moreover, Lu Xiangsheng was very face-saving, so he told Hu Dinggui first and asked Hu Dinggui to give orders.  As a result, most of the cavalry soldiers thought that Hu Dinggui was directing the battle, but did not realize that Lu Xiangsheng was the one who made the decision.

    The cavalry pursuit battle is a test of command ability, and Hu Dinggui still seems too immature.

    If Lu Xiangsheng hadn't been in charge, Luo Rucai might have killed him in a hand-to-hand fight if he was not careful.

    Lu Xiangsheng also wrote a letter back, mainly summarizing the tactics of the dragoons:

    First, the dragoons belong to the horse-riding infantry, and they must not use cavalry tactics, nor can they go head-to-head with traditional cavalry.  We must always keep a distance from the enemy, and would rather miss the opportunity to ensure our own safety.

    Second, there must be at least fifty dragoons in order to guarantee combat effectiveness, because there are too few troops, and the volley of firecrackers is not powerful at all.

    Third, if the enemy is traditional cavalry, the best shooting distance for dragoons is around 60 paces.  If the distance is too far, the hit rate is too low; if the distance is too close, it is easy to be entangled by enemy cavalry.

    Fourth, replace the self-propelled (flintlock) muskets as soon as possible, as the matchlock guns seriously affect the combat effectiveness of the dragoons.

    Fifth, the policy (spurs) can be installed on the leather boots, which is more conducive to the control of the dragoons on the horses.

    Lu Xiangsheng definitely has a super talent for commanding. The first time he led the dragoons into battle, he automatically learned what style of play to use.

    When he pursued Luo Rucai, he didn't separate his troops to bite or fight desperately, but always kept a certain distance.  The enemy is fast and we are fast, and the enemy is slow and we are slow, which is completely different from the traditional cavalry pursuit.

    It is useless to separate out a small number of troops to entangle them. One shot will lose combat effectiveness.

    Luo Rucai was also very sensible. From the beginning to the end, except for trying to charge for hand-to-hand combat, he never thought about dividing his troops and breaking up the rear.  He only has 2,000 cavalry, and after he went out by hundreds of people, it was purely to deliver food. He collapsed after a round of volley, and he would be eaten a little bit instead.

    Clever hunter, cunning prey.

    Zhao Han put down the letter and asked someone to ask Song Yingxing about the development of the flintlock gun.

    Song Yingxing was not in Nanjing, but still stayed in Jiangxi, and wrote back that he was improving the production technology of springs, and at the same time trying to reduce the misfire rate of flintlock guns.

    Percussive flintlock guns existed as early as the middle Wanli period, and have been promoted and used by France.  Following the assassination of King Henry IV of France, French generals refused to use flintlocks because of their high rate of misfires.

    Due to the stimulation of the Thirty Years War, Europe has picked up the flintlock again in recent years.

    However, improvements must be made. If the misfire rate can be successfully reduced, the flintlock can completely replace the arquebus.

    European countries are improving, and Song Yingxing is also leading people to improve. The research and development processes in the East and the West are actually similar.

    In addition, the same is true for dragoons.

    In a few countries in Europe, dragoons have already appeared.  And the war horses are similar to the Datong cavalry, they are all low-quality horses that have been eliminated, and the real good horses are used to form traditional cavalry.

    Even the establishment is similar. The number of European dragoons in a regiment is around 1,000-1,500, and that of Datong dragoons is 2,000.

    Charge, fight, mount and shoot Dragoons don't know these things.

    It is to ride a horse and run, then dismount and shoot, continue shooting if there is no danger, and immediately ride a horse and run when there is danger.

    The only exception is the Swedish dragoons, where musketeers merged with dragoons, and cuirassiers merged with unarmored cavalry.  So there appeared a strange cavalry equipped with light armor and cavalry swords, who could charge into battle on horseback and shoot muskets on horseback.  This thing can no longer be regarded as a dragoon, it can be regarded as a light armored musketeer.

    ? Swedish Multifunctional Light Armor Cavalry.Come on.

    Zhao Han has already formulated a policy here, because Guangdong also produces salt, and intends to transplant Guangdong's new salt law.

    Zhao Han said to these salt army envoys: "First, I will abolish the Zao registration, and there will be no Zao households in the future;  According to the region, the salt farms were turned into salt-making factories, and the kitchen households were turned into salt cookers."

    Tian Yang was dumbfounded when he heard that, and after careful consideration, he asked, "Whose owns the salt factory? Is it owned by the government? Or by merchants? So what if the factory exploits workers?"

    Zhao Han explained: "The land of the salt farm is owned by the government and leased to franchised merchants. Merchants build their own factories, make their own equipment, and be responsible for their own profits and losses, but the period is only 30 years. After 30 years, the land of the salt farm will be leased again. As for  For salt cookers, the government will set a minimum monthly salary. If the workers are not satisfied with the treatment, they can leave at any time to find other livelihoods. I will not tie you up to death in the saltworks.”

    "Workers don't have to pay regular lessons, nor do they need to pay salt money?" Tian Yang asked.

    "No need." Zhao Han shook his head.

    Tian Yang asked again: "The licensed merchants open salt factories, can we salt soldiers do the same?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I will give you three franchise quotas, and you will allocate them yourself. You can also join a joint venture with multiple people to jointly own a franchise quota."

    Although the salt factory is privatized, the land of the salt factory is in the hands of the government, and salt cannot be boiled without a suitable land.  Even if salt can be boiled, the cost will rise sharply, which means that the government can still control the salt industry.

    ? If the exploitation of workers is excessive, or if tax evasion is found, they should be fined and jailed.  The 30-year period is up, and there is no need to get a franchise license in the future.

    In addition, the salt introduction system was abolished and changed to a salt monopoly system, with monopoly dealers in every region.

    ? Once it is discovered that the monopoly is evading taxes, it will be dealt with as a sale of private salt.

    Every link of the factory, transshipment, and retail of salt must be registered and reported to strengthen the government's control over salt.

    Although there are still loopholes to exploit, it is more advanced than the salt introduction system.  Because the Yanyin system is too rigid, it leads to two evil results: one is that Yanyin becomes futures; the other is that illegal salt is flooding everywhere.

    Really, Yanyin became a piece of futures paper in the middle of Ming Dynasty.

    The most profitable people are not salt merchants, but the dignitaries who speculate in salt futures, or financial dealers who are related to the dignitaries.

    Zhao Han set out his own conditions, especially the three quotas for opening factories, and the rebels in the Jianghuai salt fields quickly surrendered.  Before surrendering, there was an internal strife, nothing more than a fight for three concessions.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Text 348 [White Lotus Bandit]

    Stove households also need to farm the land!

    It's just that the land near the salt field will suffer from salinization to some extent.

    It is a bad thing and a good thing at the same time that they don't get much harvest from the land.  The big landlords look down on this place, and the land annexation is not serious, so there are many self-cultivating farmers among the kitchen households.

    After the Salt Army surrendered, the officials of Datong flocked away and distributed their fields according to the principle of proximity.

    All the saline-alkali land belongs to Xiaxiatian, and one person can divide 20 mu. When farming, it is purely based on extensive planting and low harvest.

    The year-long war here has reduced the population of the counties, and the land is not very tight.

    If they couldn't get any land, they moved further north.

    The further north you go, the less people there are!

    ? Those kitchen households will work part-time and part-time in the future, and working part-time in the salt factory is considered to subsidize their households.  If you really don’t want to cook salt, and you don’t have enough land to eat, then go to the county town, or simply go to sea with the boat.

    Shanghai has been opened as a port, and due to the widespread division of land in the south, the salaries for sea merchants to recruit sailors are very high.

    Especially the sand people in the Yangtze River Delta, even if their families were allocated land, they were still willing to be recruited into the navy or sailors.

    Those sand people are not afraid of death one by one, and they are more fierce than the fishermen in Guangzhou.

    The Yangtze River empties into the sea, and the river rushes out of large and small sandbars.  For example, Chongming Island is now three sandbars, and some areas have been reclaimed as farmland.

    Some people went to sandbars to reclaim and cultivate land. The salinization was very serious. Their harvests were not high, and they had to take huge risks.  They formed a group to fight against the government, and formed a group to prevent the big households from robbing the familiar land, and they could be transferred to water bandits at any time.

    These people are Sand People!

    Zhao Han's new Shanghai naval force is mainly composed of sandmen from the Yangtze River, and more than 80% of them have previous convictions for water bandits.

    Anyway, the kitchen households are divided into fields, and they are registered as citizens. If they gain personal freedom, they will not be too constrained by the salt factory.

    The 30-year lease term of the salt factory land is also the result of long-term negotiations.

    ? If the lease period is too short, the salt factory owner will only choose to make quick money and exploit the salt cookers crazily, let alone think about improving the salt-making process.  Moreover, every time the rental license is replaced, it will attract crazy snatching, which will intensify corruption.

    The 30-year license is only a sharp sword held by the government, and most salt factories can renew their lease when it expires.

    The production, transportation and sales of salt are completely separated from each other, and the merchants themselves will establish the relevant ecology.

    The Shanshan-Shanxi Merchant Gang suffered heavy losses this time, and failed to obtain a single franchise license, so they almost withdrew from the stage of salt merchants.  Who told them not to join Zhao Han in advance?

    Fei Ruhe's strategic goal is to occupy Huai'an, and then besiege the Yan army with Zhang Tieniu.

    Now that the Salt Army has surrendered, change the combat objective.

    Zhang Tieniu's army dispersed to suppress the bandits, but many small salt troops were still resisting.

    Fei Ruhe crossed the Huaihe River and captured the entire Huai'an Mansion, which is equivalent to capturing the entire northern Jiangsu area near the sea.

    There is no need to fight Huai'an Fucheng, this is Xu Ying's base camp!

    ? On the other hand, Li Zheng and Xiao Zongxian encountered fiercer resistance along the way

    "Is this guy crazy? He doesn't want to surrender." Li Zheng was quite surprised.

    Xiao Zongxian laughed and said: "Others have an army of 200,000, we have only 7,500 regular soldiers, and less than 10,000 civilian husbands. Naturally, we will not surrender easily."

    What they were talking about was Gu Zongrui, an unknown character.

    The Cao army and Cao people along the Grand Canal revolted, and all rebels were wiped out, but Gu Zongrui continued to grow.  And he still has a territory in Shandong, entrenched in Xuzhou and Yanzhou, and fought back and forth with Zuo Liangyu.

    This guy has 200,000 soldiers, claiming 800,000, and he is resolutely unwilling to surrender to the Datong Army.

    On the contrary, there were thousands of officers and soldiers guarding Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, and they immediately surrendered when they saw the Datong Army.

    "Commander, Bandit Zhao's soldiers are here!"

    "Don't be afraid, follow me to fight!"

    Not only did Gu Zongrui dare to fight against the Datong army, but he also didn't defend the city, leading more than 100,000 people to fight out.

    All of these rebel troops wore red scarves on their heads.

    Among them is a force of thousands of people, dressed in fancy dress.  There are quite a few monks in the army, who are neither Buddha nor Dao, they are like Buddha and Dao, and they hold magical artifacts in their hands to pretend to be gods and ghosts.

    Zheng Pan, the missionary officer next to Li Zheng, held up the binoculars and exclaimed: "These are all members of the White Lotus Cult!"

    Xu Ying's news is obviously lagging behind, the Shandong Cao Army has merged with the White Lotus Sect.  Xu Ying knew that there was a White Lotus Sect in Yanzhou, but she didn't know that the leader of the Cao Army joined the Sect and became the leader of the White Lotus Sect.

    &nbsThe scattered formation continued to charge.

    Such an outrageous Christian army can easily beat the master to death with random punches.

    "Circular array!"

    Seeing this, Li Zheng shouted.

    Nearly 10,000 civil servants, civilian and artillery units shrank in the center, and 4,000 melee soldiers were outside, forming a circle with the help of grain transport vehicles.

    Two thousand gunfire soldiers lined up in front.

    "Fire the gun!"

    In this case, dare not shoot in bursts, and shoot all the two thousand firecrackers.

    After shooting, the firecrackers rushed back to the formation, and temporarily converted to spearmen with bayonets, hiding behind the rattan players and waiting for an opportunity to stab.

    The volley of gunfire just now caused several troops to collapse.

    At this moment, about 20,000 to 30,000 enemy troops have fled, and the remaining 100,000 or so are still charging, surrounding the circle of the Datong Army.

    There is a bird for a large number of people.

    On the periphery of the Datong Army's circular formation, there are many grain transport vehicles and luggage.  Even if they can cross these baggage, there are still long wolf traps blocking them.  Even if you can break through the wolf trap, there are still long spear formations.  Even if they rushed through the long spear array, there were still shields and waist knives from the rattan players, and the bayonets from the firecrackers.

    As for those religious bandits, there are at most five or six thousand who can really fight, and the remaining more than one hundred thousand are all blocked by their own people.

    The bandits who rushed to the front finally climbed over the obstacles of the baggage, and were smashed into a sieve by wolf sticks and spears in a blink of an eye.  Many people woke up from the frenzy, turned around and fled in fright, but were blocked by the friendly troops behind.

    Those bandits who were blocked on the periphery could only sleepwalk on the battlefield because they were unable to fight.  They rushed for three miles, and their bodies were weak. Many people sat down directly from exhaustion, and even collapsed because they lost their enthusiasm.

    Until now, the Datong Army has not suffered any casualties, because no bandits can break through the spear array.

    It's a pity that the Datong Army doesn't have enough cavalry, if it is equipped with a cavalry.  Killing from outside at this moment can immediately collapse the entire army of more than 100,000 enemies.

    The corpses around the circle piled up more and more, even filling up the obstacles.

    However, the Datong Army fought more and more easily, because the bandits who fought had collapsed and were fleeing in the opposite direction.  More bandits squeezed in, and the bandits inside and outside, their own people crowded their own people, which had already caused a stampede, and there were not many people fighting at all.

    Xiao Zongxian said: "Unload the bayonet, load the ammunition, hide behind the shield and shoot in salvo!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Two thousand firecrackers were fired at the target only a few meters apart, almost causing a group of people to fall down.

    The pressure from the outside squeezed in, squeezing the bandits inside, and thousands of bandits were trampled to death by their own people.  However, everything inside collapsed, and the screamers wanted to escape, but the bandits outside didn't know it.

    In the crowd, the bandits who had calmed down after rushing for three miles were all exhausted and huddled there unconsciously.

    Many people don't even know where the Datong Army is, because there are heads in all directions.

    Gu Zongrui and Dong Zhanrong, the two leaders, the emperor and the Buddha, were also squeezed into the crowd and could not move.

    Dong Zhanrong shouted: "I am Yanghuang Extreme Buddha, don't squeeze anymore. Alas ah!"

    Yanghuangji Buddha accidentally fell to the ground, probably due to insufficient cultivation of Buddhism, he was trampled to death by his followers.

    Finally, the bandits on the outermost perimeter felt bad, and more and more people fled in panic.

    During the escape, there was another stampede, and Gu Zongrui tripped over in a daze.  This Emperor Zhongxing Fulie also followed in the footsteps of Yanghuangji Buddha, leaving countless footprints on his body.

    "Toot toot toot toot toot toot toot~~~~~~"

    When the charge horn sounded, Datong soldiers attacked, and even civilian husbands rushed out to help capture the prisoners.

    "Alas!"

    A Datong soldier stepped on the corpse and accidentally sprained his foot, becoming the only wounded of our side in the entire battle.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 349 [People from the South] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Wang Diaoding's hometown is in Weixian County (Weifang), Shandong Province. The whole family was taken to the south by sea boat.

    Although he has no worries about the future, he has the predicament in front of him.

    In order to ensure the safety of the prince and princess, Wang Diaoding organized troops in Tianjin.

    Thousands of refugees from Liaodong, more than a thousand soldiers from Tianjin, counting the family members of the soldiers, the number has exceeded 10,000, and they robbed ships along the way and went south in a mighty way.

    If the food is not enough, I will ask the government to borrow it.

    The local officials in the coastal cities are still relatively friendly, and the wealthy households in the city will also help to collect some.

    ? Zuo Liangyu is entrenched in Dongchang Mansion (Liaocheng), not a warlord, but better than a warlord.  Guantao, Linqing, Wucheng, Yanggu, Gaotang These are all his territory, and he even intends to occupy Jinan in the name of suppressing bandits.

    At this moment, Zuo Liangyu stood at the head of the city, looking at the northern fleet with an uncertain expression.

    All of them were merchant ships robbed all the way from Tianjin. Due to insufficient ships, there were also many small passenger ships, with a total of more than 300 large and small ships.

    For the sake of the prince and princess going south safely, Wang Diaoding no longer cared so much.

    Anyway, if he doesn't rob ships, rogues, Tartars, and rebels will also rob ships, and merchants engaged in transportation in the north can't keep their ships at all.

    "The flag of Datong?"

    ? Zuo Liangyu murmured to himself, not knowing what the other party was talking about, nor did he understand the other party's purpose.

    Moreover, Zuo Liangyu hesitated.  He wanted to rely on Zhao Han, but he was reluctant to give up power. After surrendering, he could at most become a rich man.

    "Let go quickly!" Wang Diaoding shouted out of the cabin.

    The river ahead was blocked by Zuo Liangyu, and a large number of officers and soldiers left the city, and archers aimed at the fleet.

    Zuo Liangyu went out of the city to negotiate in person, stood on the shore and shouted: "Who is Your Excellency?"

    Wang Diaoding replied: "Wang Diaoding, attendant of Daming Imperial Academy, professor of Jiangxi Bailuzhou Academy!"

    Another official from Daming, and someone from Jiangxi Zhao Han?

    Zuo Liangyu was a little confused, and asked again: "Where are you going?"

    "Nanjing!" Wang Tiaoding replied.

    As expected, it was Zhao Han's man.

    Suddenly, Yuan Jixian came out of the cabin and shouted: "Yuan Jixian, the royal censor of the Youqian Capital of the Ming Dynasty, is here!"

    Zuo Liangyu hastily made a bow: "It turns out that it is Mr. Linhou, I am sorry to welcome you from afar."

    Ran Xingrang also went out of the cabin and shouted: "Here is Ran Xingrang, the palm seal of the Mingzong's mansion, and the captain's son-in-law Captain Ran Xingrang!"

    Zuo Liangyu was stunned for a moment: "My son-in-law?"

    Ran Xingrang scolded: "Your Majesty wants to canonize Jiangxi Zhao Han as the King of Wu. I am ordered by the emperor to leave the capital, so hurry up and get out of the river!"

    "So that's how it is." Zuo Liangyu suddenly realized.

    This guy obviously wanted to go wrong. He thought that Chongzhen was trying to recruit peace and wanted Zhao Han to lead troops into King Jingqin.

    Zuo Liangyu asked, "What's on board?"

    Wang Tiaoding laughed and said, "Does General Zuo feel that His Majesty still has money for rewards?"

    "Angel Wang is worrying too much." Zuo Liangyu laughed awkwardly.

    These boats had a deep draft, and Zuo Liangyu suspected they were goods.  Even if it was not a reward from Chongzhen, it was also from the few officials in front of him. He really wanted to destroy the fleet and rob.

    Wang Diaoding said to Fu Shan, "Blow the whistle."

    "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

    The copper whistle sounded, and more than 300 ships stepped out of soldiers one after another.

    Although the equipment is poor and the weapons are various, they are indeed capable of fighting, at least they can fight with Zuo Liangyu.

    Zuo Liangyu ordered his soldiers to raise their bows as if they were facing an enemy, and asked, "What does Angel Wang mean by this?"

    Wang Diaoding smiled and said: "There are many bandits along the way. In desperation, we must recruit soldiers along the way. Many soldiers here are Liaodong soldiers who fled into Shanhaiguan. They wanted to rebel and I recruited them."

    ? Zuo Liangyu didn't want to create a conflict. Even if he could win, he wouldn't gain much, and would lose troops instead.

    He sighed and said: "There are big thieves occupying Yanzhou, with hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Angels, it's best not to go any further."

    Wang Diaoding, Yuan Jixian, and Ran Xing made the three of them look at each other, not sure if Zuo Liangyu was cheating or if there were really some big bandits in Yanzhou.

    At this moment, a fast boat from the south came.

    The messenger jumped to the shore and rushed to him: "Uncle, there are changes in Yanzhou!"

    ? Zuo Liangyu has been conferred the title of Dongchang Bo, an earnest earl.

    He called the messenger aside and asked in a low voice, "What changes have occurred in Yanzhou?"

    The messenger replied: "The thieves from Yanzhou fought the Zhao army in Xuzhou, and those religious bandits have been wiped out."

    &sp; Wang Tiaoding smiled and said: "Not only the land is allocated, but also the necessities of life will be provided. The land is allocated for free, and other items are only temporarily borrowed, and no interest is charged. You can repay some every year in the future."

    "That's great too, Zhao Tian Wang is benevolent!" Liu Mang was overjoyed.

    Wu Huapu asked, "Can I be a soldier? I want to go back to Liaodong and take revenge on those sons of bitches!"

    Wang Tiaoding explained: "After you divide the fields, some people will come to the villages and towns to train farmers and soldiers. They will cultivate when they are busy and practice when they are free. If the army of Datong is to expand, it will give priority to drawing farmers and soldiers from all over the country, and will not directly recruit soldiers from ordinary people.  "

    Wu Huapu said: "How can I choose this? I only have one arm."

    Wang Tiaoding sighed: "You can live with one arm, let's live a good life from now on."

    "That's not going to happen. I want to go back to Liaodong," Wu Huapu said anxiously. "I don't want to divide the land. You can go to Nanjing to meet Zhao Tianwang. Even if you dislike me for having only one arm, I can still be a guide in Liaodong.  I know everything very well!"

    Wang Diaoding said: "I will only take you to Nanjing. As for whether you can see Mr. Zhao, it depends on your own luck."

    "Thank you!" Wu Huapu cheered up.

    He also has relatives, but only his brother, sister-in-law and nephew are left, and the life and death of the rest of the family are unknown.

    The family has been separated for several years. They may have been captured by the Tartars as serfs, or they may have died under the butcher's knife of the Tartars long ago.

    Wu Huapu left his younger brother and his family behind, and went to Nanjing with the boat.

    As for Liu Mang, he stayed in Xuzhou to divide the land. He didn't know that he had met Zhao Tianwang, and he even gave a few copper coins to Zhao Tianwang's brothers and sisters.

    These people who came from Liaodong and Tianjin all cheered and celebrated when they learned that they could divide the land and temporarily borrow living supplies.

    Although the following days are difficult and there are often droughts here, there is finally a hope.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 350 [legislation]

    ,

    Zhu Cihong was sitting in the carriage, surrounded by two eight-year-old younger brothers.  Opposite are two younger sisters, a ten-year-old sitting by herself, and a one-year-old being hugged by a wet nurse.

    ?From Beijing to Nanjing, along the way I was frightened and at the same time felt novel.

    Eleven-year-old children already have their own thoughts, but they are ignorant and do not understand the world.

    He secretly lifted the curtain of the car, and saw rows of shops and stalls, and pedestrians coming and going everywhere.  Some are carrying burdens, some are pushing cars, and there are also "taxis" that have emerged recently.

    Is this Nanjing?

    It is much richer and more prosperous than Beijing, so why is Nanjing not the capital of Ming Dynasty?

    To be honest, Zhu Cihong doesn't know much about Beijing.  When I was out of the palace some time ago, I took a sneak peek on the road: many shops on the street were closed, there were beggars and hungry people everywhere, and there were guards driving groups of eunuchs out.

    Zhu Cihong's impression of Beijing was very bad, because he saw the worst years for the people of Beijing for more than two hundred years!

    "Young Master, Miss, please get out of the car!"

    I don't know how long the carriage traveled, but it suddenly stopped somewhere, and Wang Tiaoding asked them to come down.

    Zhu Cihong got out of the car and walked to the door. He looked up at the lintel, and there were three big characters "Dudu's Mansion" engraved on it.

    As soon as they were taken into the courtyard, there were servants waiting for them.

    Zhu Cihong even has his own study room, but there are not many books, and all the books are "Da Tong Ji", "Da Tong Ji" and the like.

    "My lord, you can walk around in the courtyard as you please, don't play outside the courtyard." Wang Diaoding ordered.

    There are guards at the gate of the courtyard, so you can't get out.

    Zhu Cihong observed in his room for a while, then came to sit on the stone bench in the yard, and two younger brothers and a younger sister also came over one after another.

    "I miss my queen mother." Zhu Cizhao muttered.

    Zhu Cihong also missed his parents and the eunuch who grew up with him.  But he is the eldest brother, so he could only comfort him: "Don't be afraid, father and mother will come soon."

    Zhu Yuxi (sound: Zhu Meichuo) looked at the scenery in the courtyard, then looked at the servants, and said, "I don't know anyone here."

    After a while, the son-in-law Ran Xingrang came here, and his expression was very ugly.

    "Grandpa," Zhu Cihong hurried over and asked, "Are we going to live here from now on? Is there any lectures in the Eastern Palace here?"

    Ran Xingrang sighed: "Oh, it would be nice to save my life."

    Ran Xingrang waited for a long time just now, but did not see Zhao Han, but was taken to the yard to rest instead.

    He knew that he was under house arrest

    Upon learning of the content of Chongzhen's edict, Zhao Han's confidants were very excited.

    Li Banghua said happily: "Congratulations to the governor. If you accept the canonization of the Ming emperor and become the king of Wu and the son-in-law captain, it will be logical for you to become the emperor in the future. All people in the world will regard the governor as orthodox!"

    Pang Chunlai also laughed and said: "The provinces in the southwest may not need to send troops, they can surrender with a warrant."

    "If you accept the position of King Wu, the governor can proclaim himself emperor in Nanjing only after Li Zicheng breaks through Beijing." Xiao Huan cupped his hands and said.

    It was Chen Maosheng, all of whom looked happy.

    Zhao Han looked at the crowd and asked, "Do you all think that I should accept the title of King Wu?"

    "It should be so." Tian Younian said.

    Zhao Han expressionless: "What if I don't accept it?"

    "Why didn't you accept it?" Everyone was in shock and couldn't understand Zhao Han's thoughts at all.

    Zhao Han asked: "Mr. Meng An, have you read the 'Sanyuan Chapter'?"

    "I saw it." Li Banghua replied.

    Zhao Han asked again: "Where does the throne come from?"

    Li Banghua said: "Come from the people."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Where did the Emperor Ming give it?"

    "The throne of the Ming Dynasty was brought down by Emperor Hongwu with real swords and guns" Li Banghua suddenly came to his senses, "The throne of the Ming Dynasty was bestowed by heaven."

    Zhao Han glanced at the crowd and asked, "Da Ming is the Emperor of Fengtian Chengyun. I was named the King of Wu by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. From now on, I will be the Emperor of Heaven. If this is the case, this article of "Yuanjun" can be abolished, and the "Sanyuan Chapter" is nothing but a piece of paper."  For a laughing stock!"

    As soon as this remark came out, all the officials were dumbfounded.

    This is no longer a question of whether to be king of Wu, but a question of the legal system of the new dynasty.

    ? If you want to stick to Datong Theory, if you want to stick to the "Three Originals", Zhao Han's legitimacy of the throne must come from the common people.

    Accepting the canonization of King Wu by Daming, Zhao Han's throne originated from Daming, from heaven!

    &nbHe is very respectful of the teachings of the father (Ran Xingrang).

    The other princes and princesses also followed Zhu Cihong to salute.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "There is no need to be formal, come and eat quickly."

    Several children sat down anxiously, Fei Rulan looked distressed, and took the initiative to bring food for them.  This move made the children less nervous and relaxed a lot.

    After asking about their names and rankings, Zhao Han couldn't help looking at Zhu Cizhao and Zhu Aimee.

    Zhu Cizhao is the third prince Zhu. In the 61 years of Kangxi's reign, the third prince Zhu rebelled 70 times. It seems that he can grow back after beheading his head.

    Aimee Zhu is Ah Jiu in "The Sword of Jade Blood" and the one-armed nun in "The Deer and Ding Tale". She is still a 10-year-old girl this year.

    Zhao Han personally served Aimee Zhu a bowl of soup, and asked Zhu Cihong, "Have you ever studied?"

    "I have read it." Zhu Cihong replied.

    "What books have you read?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhu Cihong replied: "Mr. has finished lectures on "University" and "Analects of Confucius", and is studying "Mencius". Since last year, sir has also lectured on "Tongjian" and "Xing Li."

    Zhao Han said: "After a few days, you all go to school to study. Aimee will go too."

    "What is a school?" Aimee Zhu asked curiously.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "A school is a place for studying. There are many children who are as old as you."

    Aunt Zhu asked, "Are they all eunuchs and court ladies?"

    Zhao Han shook his head: "There are no eunuchs or maids in the school, they are all students like you."

    Zhu Cihong was a little confused, this is different from what my uncle said.

 Text 351 [Zen position?  】

    ,

    Many officials began to work hard, preparing for the matter of self-reliance as king, and normal military and political work could not be delayed.

    The Jianghuai area has already been occupied, and only three battles have been fought.

    One beat Sun Kewang, one beat Luo Rucai, and one beat the White Lotus Sect.  The rest of the prefectures and counties are all waiting for the wind to surrender, and the rest of the time is busy suppressing bandits, there are too many bandits and thieves in a mess.

    The land of Jianghuai and Jiangnan was cut vertically by Zhao Han, and the administrative divisions were re-established.

    That is, cancel Jiangnan Province and divide it into Anhui and Jiangsu.

    Anhui, collectively known as Anqing and Huizhou, the provincial capital was set in Luzhou by Zhao Han.

    ?Jiangsu, the collective name of Jiangning and Suzhou, the provincial capital was set in Yangzhou by Zhao Han.

    Redefining provinces is necessary due to political, economic, military and other considerations.

    The names of the two provinces were purely capricious by Zhao Han, and he directly chose the ones he was familiar with.

    However, the provincial government decided after repeated discussions and comprehensive geographical location and transportation conditions.  For example, Anhui, if the provincial capital is located in Anqing, it will be extremely unfriendly to northern Anhui. After thinking about it, Luzhou is more suitable.

    Such a setting will inevitably have far-reaching consequences.

    Chao County must become more prosperous. The money, food and taxes in southern Anhui are transported to Chaohu Lake via the Yangtze River, and then transported to Luzhou by fertile water. Chao County is a must.

    In addition to setting up these two provinces, Yingtianfu was renamed Jinlingfu, which is regarded as a municipality directly under the Central Government, and Nanjing is completely cut off from Jiangsu Province.

    ?The left and right political envoys of Jiangsu Province are: Liu Anfeng and Chen Wenkui.

    The left and right political envoys of Anhui Province are: Zhang Bingwen and Fang Shengchang.

    The land in Henan occupied by the army is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Anhui; the land in Shandong occupied by the army is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu

    "General Fei and General Zhang, you can continue to march. Anyway, you have already crossed the Huaihe River." Xu Nianzu pointed to the map and said, "Because of the need to resettle refugees and migrate immigrants, our army's food is a bit tight, so we can go all the way north by boat to minimize the number of civilians."  The food consumption along the Grand Canal has already been occupied by Zuo Liangyu, so don’t conflict with him for the time being.”

    Mao Yuanyi also pointed to the map and said: "General Fei can go to Yishui and occupy Yizhou, Fei County, and Yishui along the river. General Zhang can go to Shushui and occupy Tancheng and Juzhou along the river. Send another division to fight  If you have five hundred, take An Weidong and Rizhao!"

    Xu Nianzu also said: "As for the suppression of bandits in the Jiangsu area, after the land is divided, the peasants and soldiers will be organized and trained, and the county magistrate will take the farmers and soldiers to suppress the bandits."

    "Okay, let's do it like this!" Zhao Han made a final decision.

    Even if these counties in Shandong were defeated, they would be unplanned gains.

    Zhao Han is temporarily unable to divide the fields, nor is he able to provide disaster relief, because there are not enough officials and food.  But Zhao Han sent troops to occupy the city, which is better than bandits and the government. Although it cannot help the people, it will not harm the people.

    As for the farther area, I'm very sorry, I really don't have the energy to capture it, the battle line is too long.

    The rogues and the Manchus can definitely make a dash, they only need to rob all the way.

    Historically, the Manchu Qing moved southward at an extremely fast speed, and they only attacked the big cities along the way, and almost ignored the small towns and villages. It can be said that there were uprisings everywhere in the occupied areas.  Therefore, the Han people were appointed as the governor, who specially recruited the rebels and bandits, and recognized the land occupied by the leaders of these troops.  A large number of rebels and bandits became the accomplices of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and followed the Manchu Qing army all the way to the south to snatch it.

    The process of the Manchu Qing going south is a history of a group of big bandits leading countless small bandits to harm the common people everywhere.

    Mao Yuanyi also said: "The armies in Jiangbei should add scout troops, otherwise it will be very dangerous to encounter strong enemies."

    "The officers of various ministries also have this suggestion," Zhao Han said, "I have already decided that Hu Dinggui's 2,000 cavalry will be divided into several hundred people, and each division will temporarily add 100 sentry cavalry."

    Of course the Datong Army had scouts, but when fighting in the south, they generally marched along rivers and valleys, using sentry ships and mountain search teams.

    The north is different, and scout cavalry must be used.

    If there is a large-scale battle with the Manchu Qing, the scouts from all walks of life will have to ride thousands of horses, otherwise they will become blind and the battlefield will be completely covered by local scouts.

    ? Zhu Di's previous troops sent to the grassland were even more powerful, and the number of scouts was thousands of times!

    Mao Yuanyi said: "Our army currently has five divisions, and it will be expanded to six divisions next year. Except for the two divisions in Hunan and Guangdong, which will continue to maintain a size of 7,500 people, the remaining four divisions should be expanded to 8,000 people. Each division will increase by 500 people.  People, all belong to the cavalry, specially used for scouting and pursuit."

    Zhao Han said: "The number of horses in Jeju Island is about 15,000, and 2,000 have already been drawn, and another 2,000 will be drawn"sp; Just when the officials were arresting people, a large number of scholars scattered like birds and beasts, and in the end only twenty-six people were left waiting to be arrested.

    Two days later.

    Zhao Han asked: "Are you all on a hunger strike?"

    Zheng Sen replied: "According to the county government, they are all on hunger strike. They don't eat a sip of food or drink a sip of water."

    "Then let them starve." Zhao Han sneered.

    Li Banghua sighed: "It's because I didn't think carefully, the governor really shouldn't accept the title of King Wu."

    It was already like this if he didn't accept the canonization. If he accepted the canonization, I don't know how many scholars came out and suggested that Zhao Han should succeed the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

    The county government prison.

    On the third day of starvation, a scholar finally couldn't take it anymore, and shouted weakly: "I want to eat, I want to eat!"

    Soon the jailer brought the food.

    Anyway, during the detention period, I had to pay for the food myself. This meal was very sumptuous, and it turned out to be authentic Jinling Roast Duck.

    For a while, the prison was full of fragrance, and the rest of the scholars couldn't help swallowing.

    "I want to eat too!" Several scholars compromised.

    Li Yiyuan's stomach growled, and he said, "That Zhao man won't really starve us to death, will he? We are Juren!"

    Chen Danzhong was rather depressed: "He was born as a traitor, he probably really dared to starve to death."

    The sound of chewing roast duck came from the side, which was mouth-watering with the aroma.  Li Yiyuan swallowed his saliva and said: "Why don't you save your life first, and take the big plan of the country, and slowly plan it, and wait for Mr. Ximing (Zhang Pu) to come?"

    "It should be so," Chen Danzhong was so hungry that he almost had no energy to speak, and he really didn't have the willpower to go on a hunger strike, so he shouted dizzily, "I want to eat roast duck! ?

 Body 352 [The leader of Fushe got cold feet and defected] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Zhang Pu came to Nanjing by boat, and soon learned the details, so he ran to find Qian Qianyi.

    Qian Qianyi picked up the monocle in front of his chest, and said with great interest: "Heavenly, this thing is called glasses, which came from the western countries. I asked craftsmen to polish more than ten pairs, and only three pairs are suitable for use. Let's give it away today."  Look at you, you can wear it to read someday when your old eyes are dizzy."

    "The shepherd," Zhang Pu said, cupping his hands, "tonight, I will meet you at night, and it will be a matter of canonization as king of Wu."

    Qian Qianyi not only has presbyopia, but also seems to be deaf. Pointing to the glasses, he continued: "Although these things belong to the small way, they also benefit scholars a lot. Come and see, the small lenses can make the handwriting  Get bigger."

    Zhang Pu said more and more anxiously: "Master, glasses are a small matter, but society is a big one!"

    Qian Qianyi said: "Glasses are really small, but they are very useful. I plan to hire a few craftsmen to make them specialize in grinding lenses, and maybe open a glasses shop in Nanjing. The glass is also easy to find. Jingdezhen not only produces porcelain,  Glass has also started to be produced in recent years. Not only Jingdezhen, but Yuanzhou also produces glass. I heard that Luling County"

    "Shepherd!"

    Zhang Pu couldn't help shouting: "It's about King Wu!"

    Qian Qianyi said with a smile: "In addition to glasses, I also bought a pair of binoculars"

    "Farewell!" Zhang Pu was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, he held back his anger and walked away.

    Qian Qianyi put down his glasses, walked to the yard to bask in the sun, and asked the maid to bring peanuts and rice wine.

    How pleasant this day is, why do you want to make yourself unhappy?

    In the Imperial Academy of Ming Dynasty, doctors belong to the weak, and bachelors belong to the big guys.

    Zhao Han's Imperial Academy is just the opposite, from low to high: bachelor, master, doctor, academician.

    When "Datong Zhengyin" is compiled, people like Liu Rushi can get the title of bachelor.

    As for Qian Qianyi, he was awarded a master's degree directly by Zhao Han, and there will be doctors and academicians who can be promoted in the future.  Although an academician has no rank, his salary is equivalent to that of a second-rank official, which is definitely a noble position in Qian Qianyi's view.

    Although you cannot directly become a government official, if you really want to be an official, you can lower your salary and release it to others.

    Qian Qianyi doesn't plan to let it out, he wants to be an academician of the Imperial Academy, he will have a great face wherever he goes, and he can leave his name in history.

    Facing the founding monarch like Zhao Han, Qian Qianyi did not dare to take power, and was content with his face.

    "There is nothing in the world, and mediocre people are disturbing themselves. Zhang Ximing still can't see clearly." Qian Qianyi sipped the wine with peanuts, tapped his fingers on the stone table, and began to hum a little song happily.

    Zhang Pu left Qian Qianyi's house angrily, waved for a taxi, and went to Chen Danzhong's house in a sedan chair.

    The people of Fushe lost their minds, and Zhang Pu had nothing to do about it.

    Competent Fushe scholars were either directly recruited by Zhao Han, or went to work as officials, or simply concentrated on business.

    Among the three leaders of Fushe, Zhang Cai was an official in Anhui, and Wu Yingji was even promoted by Zhao Hanchao.

    Zhang Pu is the only one left!

    Although Zhang Cai is Zhang Pu's elder brother and is known as the "two Zhangs of Fushe" by the world, Zhang Cai did not participate in the establishment of Fushe, and hardly participated in the activities of Fushe.

    It was purely at the beginning of the establishment of Fushe that Zhang Cai's reputation was used for publicity.

    In recent years, Zhang Cai has been working as a hard-working official, imitating Wang Yangming's establishment of township covenants and Baojia, and recruiting refugees to farm, and setting up Changping warehouses to relieve victims.

    However, the cooperative founded by Zhang Cai is still regarded as a branch of Fushe, and he has always held a tacit attitude towards this.

    ?The ideas of the two Zhangs were different. Fushe absorbed a large number of rich and noble scholars, but the cooperative mainly consisted of poor scholars.

    Zhang Cai did not even distinguish between high and low, and accepted a house slave (shutong) as his disciple, and he was also a house slave of another family.

    This made orthodox scholars uncomfortable, and Wang Shimin came forward to obstruct it.  Zhang Cai first helped the house slave escape, and then paid for it himself to remove the humble status for his disciple.

    Nowadays, all the scholars of the cooperative have gone to be officials, and some members are even serving as officials.

    This is a great force, even Zhao Han doesn't know it.

    More than 300 members of the cooperative, all of whom are disciples of Zhang Cai, are now all Datong officials.  These guys are very capable of doing things, and they are naturally promoted quickly. Including Zhang Cai, there are already three people at the magistrate level.

    However, many of Zhang Pu's rehabilitated scholars were officials, but they had long since become a mess.

    "Sir, what does the shepherd say?" Chen Danzhong asked hastily.

    Zhang Pu sighed: "Pretending to be deaf and dumb, Qian Muweng has always been like this, how can I expect him to help?"

    Li Yiyuan said: "Emperor Chongzhen married the princess and canonized the king of Wu.Because it is ordered by the people, those with merit and virtue live there.  To be ordered by the people is to follow the benevolent government, which is in line with the way of Confucius and Mencius, which is the ultimate principle of Confucianism.  Those who win the hearts of the people will get the destiny of heaven, and those who inherit the sky will respond to the people.  Only when people have the hearts of the people can they be favored by destiny.  Instead of having the destiny first, you can win the hearts of the people.  Emperor Hongwu won the hearts of the people, and he had his own destiny to help him.  Emperor Chongzhen originally had the destiny, but he lost the hearts of the people, and the destiny abandoned it.  "

    "Haha, that's the reason." Zhao Han laughed.

    In Zhang Pu's works, the monarchy, popular support, and destiny are unified.

    Zhang Pu asked: "Since the king is ordered by the people, how can the king restrain the people and harm the people?"

    "Constitution making." Zhao Han said.

    "Constitution?" Zhang Pu didn't understand.

    Zhao Han explained: "It is to formulate a "Constitution" to restrict the powers and responsibilities of the monarch. As for the content of the "Constitution", I haven't figured it out yet, and you can discuss it."

    The "Constitution" that Zhao Han wants to formulate is by no means a capitalist constitution, let alone a constitutional monarchy like the UK.

    The emperor under Zhao Han's "Constitution" has great power, far greater than the German emperor after the constitution.

    It is precisely because he is unwilling to give up too much power, to prevent being ostracized by officials, and to prevent the country from being usurped by businessmen, so Zhao Han has been unable to determine the specific content for a long time.

    He has decades to think, no rush.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 353【History Textbook】

    ,

    Although the Ming court had no money, the canonization team was huge.

    Because people from the south often drag their families with them.  They not only went to Nanjing to canonize Wu Wang, but also moved the whole family to Nanjing!

    In order to leave Beijing, Yao Minggong bribed Xue Guoguan with 30,000 taels of silver, and promised to give Zhao Han a good word for him, and finally got the post of envoy to King Wu.

    Yao Minggong took his whole family southward, and the family property only loaded four boats, and the floating wealth was only worth more than ten thousand taels.

    Counting the silver he used for bribery, it is only tens of thousands of taels of property, which is really clean among the high-ranking officials of Ming Dynasty.

    This guy's hometown was occupied by Zhang Xianzhong, and he didn't dare to stay in Beijing, so he only asked his family to settle in Nanjing.

    "The one surnamed Zhao still doesn't see us?" asked the eunuch Du Xun.

    Yao Minggong sighed: "I still don't see you. Nanjing scholars petitioned, hoping that Zhao Han would be crowned King of Wu, but he was imprisoned for half a month."

    Du Xun was the deputy envoy of the canonization team. He used to be the supervisor of the army, and later he was the supervisor of Shangshan. He was able to come to Nanjing because he bribed Wang Chengen and used six ships to transport his property.

    Du Xun said anxiously: "This thief doesn't see us, and doesn't arrest us, what is he planning?"

    "He didn't pay attention to the imperial court, nor did he take King Wu's title seriously, and he even regarded us angels as clowns." Yao Minggong thought it over clearly.

    Du Xun asked: "Where is your in-law (Xiong Wencan)?"

    "He is just living in Nanjing." Yao Minggong was quite helpless.

    Xiong Wencan thought that with his "old friend" with Zhao Han, he would definitely be able to get an official position.

    ?As a result, Zhao Han went about his business and asked Xiong Wencan to start as an official, which made the old man so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.  He is very old, how many years can he live?  Climbing up step by step from a young official, at most he can be a magistrate until he dies, but he can't even be a magistrate when he dies long ago.

    Zhao Han often uses the old officials or scholars of the Ming Dynasty, but one of the following conditions must be met:

    First, outstanding achievements.  And political achievements are not blown out, but made out, mainly depends on the local people's livelihood.

    Second, write a book and make a statement.  For example, Wu Yingji, Zhang Guowei, Fang Yizhi, and Mao Yuanyi have written works on economics, water conservancy, physics, and military affairs.

    Third, outstanding ability.  Zhang Bingwen has already served as the chief envoy of Anhui, and Liu Huan has served as the director of the Hunan Provincial Department of Industry and Commerce.

    Ma Shiying's self-reputation is not good, so he took the initiative to ask to be a small official, with a positive and good attitude. He has already become the mayor of Chunhua Town, and he will be promoted to the county magistrate next time.

    Xiong Wencan opened his mouth to ask for an official, who the hell are you?

    Du Xun asked again: "I heard that Zhang Pu is also going north in Nanjing?"

    Yao Minggong didn't speak.

    Yao Minggong used to be a member of Yang Sichang, but now he is a member of Xue Guoguan, and he and Zhang Pu are political enemies.

    Just as the envoy Yao Minggong and the deputy envoy Du Xun were in a hurry, Xu Zuomei took off the Ming official uniform and only wore Confucian shirts, wanting to join Zhao Han.

    Xu Zuomei is this year's Shinke Jinshi, and was selected to be an official in the human affairs department, nothing more than running errands to convey the emperor's order.

    "Xu Zuomei, a Confucian scholar in Henan and a Jinshi of Xinke, please see the Governor of Shuntian Yingmin!" Xu Zuomei lay prone in front of the Governor's Mansion, with his butt facing the sky, unable to kneel, and holding a letter in his hand.

    The guard reminded: "This gentleman, if you write a letter to the governor, just put the letter in the mailbox at the door."

    Xu Zuomei knelt straight and said: "This general, I have something important to tell you, and I request the general to forward a letter."

    The guard saw that he was speaking in a serious manner, so he didn't dare to neglect, so he helped forward the letter.

    After a while, the guard came out again, threw the letter back angrily, and said angrily, "Get out! You sour scholar, you made me die too!"

    Xu Zuomei still knelt there, weeping bitterly and said, "Captain Zhao is so confused!"

    Seeing that Zhao Han refused to accept the canonization, this fellow gave up his status as a minister of the Ming Dynasty.  In the letter, he also introduced the situation in Beijing in detail, persuaded Zhao Han to proclaim himself emperor, and then swore to the Northern Expedition to destroy the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop.

    He actually wanted to gain credit for persuading him!

    In history, Xu Zuomei, Ma Liu took refuge in Li Zicheng and Dorgon.  Moreover, actively participating in the North-South party struggle—the party struggle in the early Qing Dynasty was a continuation of the party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, which lasted from the Shunzhi Dynasty to the Kangxi Dynasty.

    In the second year after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the North-South party struggle began, which can be regarded as inheriting the fine legacy of the Ming Dynasty.

    It was even more interesting in the Kangxi Dynasty. The Han party struggle and the Manchu conflicts, the two struggles were entangled and merged, which made Kang Mazi terrified.

    At the beginning, Kangxi was relatively immature, killing dozens of them in one go.  Gradually, the methods became more sophisticated, using party struggle to clean up the Manchu nobles.Like Qianyi, he was directly granted the title of Master of the Imperial Academy.

    Zhao Han reminded: "Remember, when compiling history textbooks, you must implement a concept. The rise and fall of a dynasty is nothing more than the popularity of the people. If the people are not doing well, the emperor will lose the people's hearts. Once the people's hearts are lost, the destiny will be lost.  Not only do you fight fiercely, but you must also govern the people leniently, so that you can win the hearts of the people, gain the mandate of heaven and start a new dynasty."

    Zhang Pu thought about it: "Since this is the case, how can the Tyrant Qin be unified?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "It is said that Qin Shihuang was cruel, so the monarchs of the six countries treated the people benevolently? The Qin State farmed and fought, and rewarded for meritorious deeds, and punished for demerits. Although the laws are strict, they do no great harm to the people.  What a benefit. Naturally, the officials were diligent and the soldiers died. The death of Qin Dynasty II was because the system of rewards and punishments for farming and warfare could not be continued. How could there be wars when the six countries were unified? Moreover, the Qin Dynasty was too heavy for the people to rest and recuperate.  "

    There were many reasons for the demise of the Qin Dynasty, and Zhao Han just set the tone.

    Compared with the Qin Dynasty, Zhao Han's peasant and military system will gradually be abolished.  This is a slow process, reducing the proportion of farmers and soldiers in villages and towns every year, so that farmers have more spare time to work and earn money.

    Zhang Pu was ordered to compile history textbooks. Without the leader of the Fushe Society, what storms could the rest of the scholars make?

    It was nothing more than complaining, and Zhao Han didn't bother to pay attention to it, let alone arrest people and send them to jail.

    Arresting people at every turn is a manifestation of incompetence.

    If those scholars really dare to cross the line, it is not as simple as going to jail, and the miner's package is on the way!

 Main body 354【Those who fought wars became disaster relief】

    ,

    In mid-October.

    Fei Ruhe took a boat all the way and led his troops to the territory of Yizhou.

    Standing on the bow of the boat, Fei Ruhe looked blankly at the scenery on both sides of the river with a dull expression.

    Yizhou is governed by the state, under the jurisdiction of Feixian County and Tancheng County.

    When I was in the border of Tancheng, although it was miserable there, it was not very different from northern Jiangsu.

    The boat sailed to the northwest of Tancheng, and the situation became more and more terrifying.

    As far as the boundary of Yizhou, the content of the history book is translated into vernacular: "Locusts are all over the mountains and fields, piled up one foot thick. The leaves are all eaten up, and the ground is thousands of miles away. The people dig grass roots and gnaw bark, father and son eat each other, bones are everywhere, and babies are abandoned.  Dao, there are people who put up bids and sell their heads everywhere, and there are countless corpses piled up in the ravine."

    More and more soldiers stood on the boat and looked at both sides, dumbfounded and speechless.

    Deputy General Wan Sitong muttered: "No wonder the bandits didn't come to capture this place, no wonder Zuo Liangyu didn't send troops here. Why are we here in Yizhou?"

    At this moment, the locusts have disappeared, and there is no scene of locusts piled up a foot thick.

    But looking at the bare vegetation, the villages along the coast are deserted, and even the big landlords have fled.

    In the evening, I went ashore to cook, and after a short walk, I saw bones.  Sometimes it can even be guessed that several members of the family died, because the bones of the adults were holding the bones of the children.

    The fleet arrived in a small town with a large army, which has also become a ghost town.  All the residents of the town disappeared, not starving to death, but fleeing, and no one could withstand the robbing of the hungry people.

    Perhaps the wealthy households along the way were also scared away by the hungry people, and no matter how high the courtyard wall was, they could not stop the hungry people.

    As the fleet was approaching Yizhou City, there were more and more living people. There were at least 20,000 to 30,000 hungry people gathered outside Yizhou City.

    These hungry people looked at the fleet with numb eyes and expressionless faces.

    Fei Ruhe suddenly smelled the smell of meat, he was surprised at first, then he came to his senses, and then he felt nauseous, his stomach was overwhelmed and he wanted to spit it out.

    The Datong soldiers and civilian husbands disembarked and landed. The city gate opened quickly, and an official led the crowd to kneel down to welcome them, crying loudly: "General, you are here!"

    Fei Ruhe asked: "What's your name? What's your position?"

    The official wiped his tears and replied: "The next official is Liang You, the Tong Zhi of Yizhou."

    Fei Ruhe was furious, and asked, "Where is Zhizhou?"

    Liang You replied, "I ran away with the money."

    "Where is the defense?" Fei Ruhe asked again.

    "Run away too." Liang You replied.

    Fei Ruhe was furious: "The fuck is gone, why do you still keep it!"

    Liang You said: "The lower official is the same prefect of the state, and the prefect ran away, and the lower official is the local parents. How can there be any reason for parents to abandon their children? The lower official sells their belongings, and begs the wealthy households in the state to collect money and food, but it is still useless.  Ah, there are too many hungry people outside the city. Nowadays, people in the city starve to death every day, so I can only can only"

    Hearing what he said, most of Fei Ruhe's anger dissipated, and he asked, "What can I do?"

    Liang You said in tears: "We can only clean up the unclaimed dead bodies in the city every day, and throw them outside the city for the hungry people to cook and eat."

    "Ouch!"

    A Datong soldier next to him couldn't hold back, and vomited from nausea on the spot.

    Fei Ruhe asked: "Do the wealthy households in the city still have food?"

    Liang You replied: "The rich family doesn't have any surplus grain, only the grain merchant's warehouse has some."

    "Go to town!"

    Fei Ruhe ordered: "Twenty guards are left on each boat to guard the food and prevent robbery."

    The soldiers of Datong took over the defense of the city, and at the same time dispersed to maintain law and order in the city.

    When he came to the state office, the military medical officer Hao Dadian said: "General, there are too many dead people, and the corpses are not buried. Beware of a big epidemic next year!"

    Fei Ruhe immediately woke up: "How to prevent it?"

    Hao Dadian said: "First, burn all the corpses immediately; second, order the people to boil their clothes in boiling water; third, throw lime in places where there are many dead."

    "Okay!" Fei Ruhe said.

    Li Shikui, a missionary officer, said: "I suggest that missionary officers in the military take over government affairs. Each missionary officer will lead ten soldiers to do things, and the officials in the city will be ordered to cooperate with the officials. Outside the city, divide the hungry people into areas, and how many people can be accommodated in each area, so as to prevent hungry people from appearing.  trouble."

    Fei Ruhe nodded and said, "Let's do it this way." After speaking, he asked Liang You, "How much is the food price in the city?"

    "Doumai two thousand." Liang You replied.

    Fei Ruhe sneered: "That's 20,000 yuan a stone of wheat, all of them rich and unkind. The grain merchant's warehouse"Preacher." The soldier replied.

    "Are they all scholars?" Liang You asked.

    The soldiers said: "It used to be enough to know 30 characters, but now you need to know 500 characters. Regiment-level missionaries can at least know 1,000 characters, and they must also learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. If a missionary teacher wants to be promoted, he must be able to read. Not only learn by himself, but also  Take us to learn, now I know more than 60 characters."

    Liang You asked again: "What do missionaries do?"

    The soldier explained: "Teach us the truth."

    "What's the point?" Liang You asked.

    "Soldiers are fighting for the common people, and the common people are their parents. The great unity of the world means that everyone has fields to farm, everyone has food to eat, and everyone has clothes to wear," said the soldier. "If you have any troubles, you can talk to the missionaries.  Write letters to your family and ask missionaries for help. The soldiers are all brothers, and the missionaries are our elder brothers!"

    Liang You didn't continue to ask, but pondered these words carefully.

    He is not a serious Jinshi, but a juren, and he was bought as a county magistrate.  Although the county magistrate was bought, there was no money in the distribution, and he was thrown to the damn magistrate of Shaanxi.

    At that time, when the bandits came, Liang You urged the people to defend the city, but they did so in a daze.

    The gentry in the city refused to let him go, and he served as a county magistrate in Shaanxi for six consecutive years, and he was able to defend the city every time.

    Liang You didn't understand the situation either, it seemed that the rogues were easy to deal with.

    Two years ago, he returned to Beijing after completing his exams, and was finally promoted to be a prefect of the state.  Then came the hellish drought and locust plague, two consecutive years of catastrophe, he couldn't bear to exploit the people, instead he sold off the property he brought.

    Liang You squatted by the moat, watching Datong soldiers appease the victims, and suddenly laughed happily.

    Suddenly there was a curse from behind: "Damn, I'm looking for you everywhere, hurry back to the city to help with things!"

    Liang You looked back, but it was Fei Ruhe who was scolding him.

    Liang You quickly stood up, but heard Fei Ruhe say: "I asked the officials and people in the city, you are a good official, and the escaped Zhizhou and the guard are corrupt officials. Follow me to do things well, and do a good job in disaster relief.  You can at least be a magistrate!"

    "Thank you, General, for your appreciation." Liang You was very happy. After taking refuge in Zhao Tianwang, his official position was only downgraded by one level.

    Fei Ruhe was very depressed. He came to fight the war, but now he has become a disaster relief worker.

    On Zhang Tieniu's side, the same is true.

    There was no battle to fight at all. Wherever they went, officials surrendered immediately, and then begged him for relief.

    If the Datong army goes to Henan, this situation will happen everywhere.

    What else?

    Leave tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of disaster victims unrescued, and let them fend for themselves?  That violates Datong theory!

    But once rescued, the food is not enough.

    In this case, Zhao Han had to make a choice.  How much food should be kept for war, how much food should be kept to accommodate the victims, and the territory should be continuously expanded while providing relief to the people.

    (Ask for a monthly pass.)

    (There are only two updates today. ?

 Text 355 [Conspiracy in Sichuan]

    "The grand ceremony has been cancelled?" Everyone in the Governor's Mansion was surprised.

    Zhao Han said: "Issuing documents internally and posting notices externally, that's enough. It's just to establish yourself as a king, and it's not about enthroning and proclaiming emperor. Let's keep everything simple. Save money and food, and send it to Shandong.  "

    No one persuaded him any more, so he could only obey.

    Although Zhao Han brainstormed and was willing to accept various opinions, once a decision was made, the nine bulls couldn't pull it back.

    Various decisions, not entirely correct, often appear out of place.

    Some mistakes, Zhao Han is willing to correct.

    There are some mistakes, and he is determined not to correct them. Zhao Han always believes that he is right.

    The officials of the Dudu Mansion have long been accustomed to this.  As long as it wasn't something particularly outrageous, after Zhao Han made a decision, they didn't even bother to persuade him.

    It is obviously not a big deal to establish oneself as a king without engaging in rituals.

    "Don't attack Henan. A piece of white land, millions of hungry people, it will be a quagmire," Zhao Han sighed, "Don't attack Jiaodong again. Next year, we will only attack two places. One is to attack the Grand Canal in Shandong."  Along the route, one goes to Sichuan along the Yangtze River."

    Li Banghua said: "The southern Sichuan salt field must be taken down."

    "Taking the southern Sichuan salt field, and then attacking Chengdu in the north, there is another important grain-producing area." Xu Nianzu said.

    Zhao Han asked: "Who would like to be an envoy to subdue Chieftain Shijie (Qin Liangyu)?"

    Xu Nianzu cupped his hands and said, "I wish to go."

    "Do you know General Qin?" Zhao Han asked.

    "I don't know." Xu Nianzu said.

    Zhao Han suddenly laughed: "Then you can go."

    Xu Nianzu asked: "What conditions can you offer Shi Jie Chieftain?"

    Zhao Han replied: "First, the chieftain of Shijie was changed to Tuguiliu, and later changed to Shizhu county;  The policy remains unchanged, each of the Ma family and the Qin family retains 20 acres of land; fourth, if members of the Ma family and Qin family still want to join the army, they can temporarily form the Shizhu Independent Regiment. The number of troops must not exceed 3,000, and  Missionaries must be placed, and we will provide food and salaries for soldiers.”

    Xu Nianzu said happily: "Since this is the case, I will be able to persuade Chieftain Shijie to surrender!"

    Zhao Han is now poor and crazy, with more than enough money, but food is always stretched.

    There are too many places that need food. This year, the southern provinces suffered from floods. In the first half of the year, Guangdong suffered from droughts throughout the province.  Even the grain merchants in various provinces don't have much grain in their hands, but ordinary people's homes are still stockpiling some.

    Facing the famine, Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu confiscated grain from grain merchants in Shandong.

    But how much can the grain merchant have?

    Under normal circumstances, the sum of the grain stocks of all grain merchants in a certain place, through high-priced screening of customers, can maintain some people in the city until next year's grain harvest season.  As for those who have no money to buy high-priced food, they will starve to death!

    That is to say, even if all the grain from the grain merchants was confiscated, it would not be enough to rescue all the people in the city, let alone save all the people outside the city.

    Zhao Han is trying his best to mobilize food and clothing, and organize officials to move to Shandong.

    To send troops next year, Zuo Liangyu must be attacked first!

    ? Although Zuo Liangyu's territory was also affected by the disaster, the area along the Grand Canal can still barely support it.

    As for the attack on Sichuan, there are no more than two goals: grain from the Chengdu Plain and silver from the saltworks in southern Sichuan.

    After discussing the details again, everyone went to work on their own.

    Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi then met with them and brought the first version of Qieyin (Pinyin) plan.

    Qian Qianyi reported: "After repeated discussions and revisions, the original set of seven tones was finally changed to five tones, namely: Yinping, Yangping, Shangsheng, Qusheng, and Rusheng."

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "That's good. Five tones are more concise and easier to promote than seven tones."

    If you compare the tones of modern Chinese, Yangping is equivalent to one tone, Yinping is equivalent to two tones, Shang tones are equivalent to three tones, and Qu tones are equivalent to four tones—just equivalent, not absolutely, and there are some differences.

    The symbols have also been formulated: Yinping (ˉ), Yangping (ˊ), Shangsheng (v), Qusheng (ˋ), and Rusheng (??).

    Liu Rushi said: "The Qieyin has been set, but the correct pronunciation of the text is still being fabricated, mainly because the tones of certain texts are controversial."

    "Yes, take your time to determine the pronunciation of the text. You come from different places, and it's normal to have disputes about the tone," Zhao Han said, "Let's make up a dictionary while determining the pronunciation."

    Qian Qianyi is very obedient now, and asked, "What instructions does the governor have for compiling the Dictionary?"

    the"Greedy, delicious." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Not long after, the princes and princesses came back from school and came to greet them with their schoolbags: "Uncle is well, aunt is well."

    "Sit down." Zhao Han nodded with a smile.

    Fei Rulan handed over the flossed potato candies: "You guys eat it too, Aunt Pan made it."

    Auntie Zhu took a bite, and immediately smiled: "This is delicious, I have never eaten it in the palace."

    In the palace?

    Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi immediately looked at these children.

    Zhao Han asked: "What have you learned today?"

    Zhu Cihong replied: "I can know the Four Books, and I can also do arithmetic. Today I reviewed the Four Books and learned to use Fanbang numbers to do multiplication."

    The brothers and sisters of Zhu Cihong are very satisfied with their current life. They can make many friends in the school, and no one cares about this. It is much more free and interesting than being in the palace.

    It's just that they miss their parents a little.

    As for the teachers and students in the school, no one knows their identities for the time being.  It can't be kept secret for long, the second and third princes are only eight years old, sooner or later they will leak their words.

    After waiting for a while, the little girl hasn't come home yet, so she probably went to have dinner with the Mathematics Association.

    Zhao Han said, "Let's serve dinner."

    Qian Qianyi and Liu Rushi observed secretly, and they became more and more certain that they guessed that the princes and daughters were very well behaved when they ate.

    (Ask for a monthly ticket.) It took me a second to remember the address of this site.

 Text 356 [Qin Liangyu]

    Xu Nianzu took a boat to Sichuan, and picked up another person on the way: Fei Ruhui.

    Fei Ruhui's military position is the battalion commander, commanding five hundred troops, the only female commander in the Datong Army.

    Fei Ruhui was extremely excited to be able to visit Qin Liangyu, it was the feeling that fans would meet their idols soon.

    The boat was loaded with 300 shi of grain and 50 jars of good wine, and the speed was extremely fast at the beginning.  After arriving at Xiling Gorge, the channel is tortuous, there are many strange rocks, and there are many beaches and rapids. It requires an old helmsman to lead the way, and a tracker must be towed at the key points.

    If you don't pay attention, the boat will be destroyed and people will die.

    Listening to the chant of the trackers on the shore, Xu Nianzu stood on the bow of the boat and said: "Battlefield Commander Fei, when you see that General Qin, you have to be a little more reserved."

    "I know," Fei Ruhui said with a smile, "Public is public, private is private, this is simple."

    "That's good." Xu Nianzu smiled.

    After several years in the army, Fei Ruhui's appearance plummeted.  Darker, stronger, rougher skin, and callused hands.

    Her husband is now serving as the county magistrate of Shimen. The couple get together less often and leave more, and they only have one son.

    If it weren't for the delay of more than a year in giving birth, Fei Ruhui would have already become the regiment commander (commanding troops 1,500) based on his military experience.

    When the boat arrived at Kuizhou's mansion, there was a loud cry of killing from the other side, but it was Zhang Xianzhong who was besieging Kuizhou city.

    Zhang Xianzhong has taken over the Nanyang Basin and recruited refugees for reclamation.  Although there was a drought, it was not serious. He didn't need to help the victims, and he didn't need to show compassion to the people.

    This is equivalent to saying that both Zhao Han and Zhang Xianzhong are attacking Sichuan.

    Zhao Han expanded on the south bank of the Yangtze River, and Zhang Xianzhong expanded on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

    Relatively speaking, Zhao Han was at a disadvantage. Wushan, Fengjie, Kuizhou, Yunyang, Wanxian, Zhongxian, and Fengdu, the throats of Sichuan, were all built on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

    Zhao Han didn't even have a stronghold to garrison and transfer troops, so he had to build a stockade by himself in the deserted beach, otherwise he would have to go to the cities on the north bank.

    All the way to Yunyang, Xu Nianzu looked at the terrain on both sides of the strait, and said to Fei Ruhui: "On the other side of Qutang Gorge, you can station troops and food at Daxikou (market town). After passing Qutang Gorge, Yunyang County must take it, absolutely not  Leave it to Zhang Xianzhong. If Zhang Xianzhong takes Yunyang, he must quickly send troops to take Wanxian, otherwise our army will not be able to find a foothold in Sichuan, and the logistics transportation pressure will double."

    Fei Ruhui said: "It's already winter, and Zhang Xianzhong is still here to attack Kuizhou. He is imperative to Sichuan. If our army takes Yunyang or Wanxian, we must fight Zhang Xianzhong."

    "Sooner or later, it will be fought. How can the land of abundance in Sichuan fall into the hands of bandits so easily?" Xu Nianzu actually had some slander, thinking that Zhao Han was too benevolent.

    According to Xu Nianzu's idea, the army should be expanded to ten divisions this year.  Or the regular army will remain as it is, and recruit 100,000 peasants and soldiers to fight, quickly penetrate Shandong, and take Beijing next year.

    Conquer Beijing, destroy the Ming Dynasty, ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, and the world can be settled!

    As for the livelihood of the people in the territory under the jurisdiction, it will slowly recover after the reunification.  The victims of disasters in Shandong and Henan, and even the refugees from the Jianghuai River, can be left to fend for themselves. If the people there die, they will slowly migrate from the south in the future.

    Occupy Beijing as soon as possible, and destroy Li Zicheng and the Tartars as soon as possible, this is also the means of Zebei common people.

    If Li Zicheng and Man Qing were allowed to dance around for two more years, wouldn't there be more deaths?

    Zhao Han's answer was: "Slowly expand and take into account internal affairs. First, if you don't destroy people's livelihood, the area under your jurisdiction will prosper; second, you can practice Datong theory and twist people's hearts into one rope; third, you can promote officials quickly, reduce corruption, and maintain  Officials are enthusiastic; four can avoid new land occupation uprisings, what does it look like if there are people under our rule? Five can prosper industry and commerce, organize immigrants and resettle refugees need a lot of supplies, these are the government buys from businessmen. The businessmen make money, the government’s  There will be more taxes. Immigrants and displaced persons can live in peace, and can generate new tax sources. The sooner this kind of thing is done, the better.”

    Xu Fusheng could understand Zhao Han's explanation, but he didn't agree with it from the bottom of his heart. He still felt that the world should be pacified as soon as possible.

    At the end of November, the fleet turned into the Long River on the other side of Fengdu County, and docked at Nanbinli (Longhe Town, Fengdu County) along the river.

    Most of the town's residents are Han people. In the early Ming Dynasty, it was Nanbin County, but now it is the official office of Shijie Xuanweisi.

    A young man came on horseback, followed by more than a dozen soldiers, rushed to the river and shouted, "Who are you waiting for?"

    Xu Nianzu and Fei Ruhui led the troops off the ship, and the young people were more vigilant, holding white guns and ready to attack at any time.

    Xu Nianzu cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I am the envoy of the King of Wu, and by the order of the King of Wu, I have come to pay a visit to Mrs. Qin and General Ma."

    &nb, designed to enable children to write and count.  Some girls graduated from elementary school, and at the age of fifteen or sixteen, they passed the examination and became elementary school teachers.  "

    Qin Liangyu nodded approvingly: "This is good governance. Zhao Tianwang advocates equality between men and women, so it can be seen that he is a true hero."

    "It's more than just a real hero," Xu Nianzu said with emotion, "Dudu Zhao decided to become king next spring. When he learned of the disaster in Shandong, he didn't want to be crowned king. The money and food he saved were all sent to Shandong to help the victims."

    "Your Majesty really canonized King Wu." Ma Xianglin interjected.

    Xu Nianzu said: "Your Majesty not only canonized the King of Wu, but also asked Gu to pass on the country. The prince and princess are all in Nanjing now, and they were sent by His Majesty secretly."

    "The prince and princess are all in Nanjing?" Qin Liangyu asked in surprise.

    Xu Nianzu nodded and said: "Henan and Shanxi are all occupied by bandits. The Mandarin slaves have attacked Shanhaiguan, Zuo Liangyu in Shandong has become a warlord, and Beizhili is surrounded by groups. Your Majesty has the will to die and is determined to die for the country. Therefore, the prince  The princess is sent to Nanjing."

    Qin Liangyu was beyond shocked.

    She knew that the situation was declining, but she did not expect the decline to be fatal.

    Sichuan was already closed, and Shi Jie was even more closed, and even "Datong Collection" was not transmitted.

    The connection between the imperial court and Sichuan has been broken long ago!

    ,

    The next day.

    Formal negotiations.

    Qin Liangyu asked: "May your excellency prove the canonization of King Wu?"

    "Madam Qin, please have a look." Xu Nianzu had prepared for a long time, and took out the imperial edict for the canonization of King Wu and his son-in-law, as well as the seals of King Wu and his son-in-law's captain.

    All these things were obtained from Yao Minggong.

    Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin checked repeatedly, and quickly confirmed that these things were true. The meaning of Chongzhen's entrusting Gu to pass on the country was already obvious.

    "How will the prince and princess arrange it?" Qin Liangyu asked.

    Xu Nianzu replied: "They are studying in a primary school in Nanjing."

    Qin Liangyu also said: "From my perspective, the book "Datong Collection" seems to have a policy of dividing land and releasing slaves."

    Xu Nianzu said: "Shi Jie is no exception. In the future, the land will be changed and Shizhu County will be established, and his wife will be the magistrate of Shizhu County. If Brother Ma is willing to fight, the white-armed soldiers can be organized into an independent regiment with 2,000 soldiers.  The missionary officers accompany the army, and all the rations and salaries are provided by us."

    "What is the mission officer?" Ma Xianglin asked.

    Xu Nianzu explained: "About 100 soldiers, arrange a missionary. The missionary is not allowed to interfere with the command. He teaches the soldiers to read and write on a daily basis, and teaches the soldiers the principles of being a man and a soldier. He also helps the soldiers write letters to their families, and helps the soldiers solve problems."

    Qin Liangyu smiled and said, "This is quite new."

    Ma Xianglin said: "Why should my family's land be forcibly distributed?"

    Xu Nianzu said: "Mrs. Qin has read "The Collection of Great Harmony", so she naturally knows the principle of dividing the land. There is absolutely no possibility of favoritism in this matter. Even the two wives of the governor's family have already completed the division of the land. Mrs. Fei is a rich family in Qianshan  , the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in the family, that is to say, they will be divided."

    Qin Liangyu was noncommittal, but said: "I'm going to Nanjing to meet the prince and princess."

    "Yes," Xu Nianzu knew that he couldn't hide it, so he said, "Although His Majesty canonized the king of Wu, the governor did not accept it. He wants to proclaim himself the king of Wu."

    "Anneng is like this?"

    "Do you despise Daming?"

    Qin Liangyu and Ma Xianglin stood up suddenly, and looked at Xu Nianzu angrily.

    Xu Nianzu asked: "Madam Qin, have you read "Yuanjun", "Yuanchen", and "Yuanmin"?"

    "Look." Qin Liangyu nodded.

    Xu Nianzu asked again: "Where does the position of king come from?"

    Qin Liangyu understood immediately, and sighed: "I understand."

    Xu Nianzu said again: "Although he is not granted the title of king of Wu, the governor will not treat princes and princesses harshly."

    Qin Liangyu said: "I still want to go to Nanjing."

    Xu Nianzu smiled and said: "I am waiting for you at any time."

    Next door to Shi Jie is Shizhou Mansion, where the division of fields has been completed, and Huang Yao is forming a mountain division.  Although the mountain road was difficult, Shi Jie could be attacked at any time. Qin Liangyu's side was not safe.

    In addition, Zhang Xianzhong is already attacking Kuizhou, and will soon be on the other side of Shijie.

    The Sichuan uprising army was all over the place. After losing contact with the imperial court, the local officials and gentry became tougher, forming regiments to fight back and forth with the peasant army.

    There are wars everywhere, Shi Jie can't be alone, he must choose a family to join

    "Mother is really going to Nanjing?" Ma Xianglin asked.

    Qin Liangyu said: "The Great Ming Dynasty may really be gone. You and I should be loyal and courageous, but we also have to take care of the more than 200,000 people in Shijie. If you don't judge the situation, the people may be killed by the sword. I will go  Take a trip to Nanjing to see if Zhao Han can really practice "Da Tong Ji". If he can do it"

    "Just rely on him?" Ma Xianglin asked.

    Qin Liangyu shook his head: "Da Ming will not perish for a day, and Shi Jie Xuanweisi is the land of Ming Dynasty. I will make this clear to Zhao Han. But I can attach myself to Nanjing and help Nanjing fight the war. After the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, I will recognize the court of Nanjing.  At that time, if he wants to divide the land, he can divide it, who can stop it?"

    "Really divide the fields?" Ma Xianglin asked.

    Qin Liangyu questioned, "Are you afraid of death?"

    Ma Xianglin said: "Not afraid."

    "Don't be afraid of death, how many acres of land do you care about?" Qin Liangyu scolded.

    Ma Xianglin explained: "If the death is worthy of death, the husband will die. But it is the land left by the ancestors, how can it be ruined by the children?"

    Qin Liangyu scolded: "A good man, don't you just know how to keep the ancestral land, and won't you go to lay a foundation by yourself?"

    Ma Xianglin quickly bowed his head: "Mother taught me well."

    Qin LiangA large number of houses have been newly built in the outer city.

    Especially the area around Xuanwu Lake, due to the prohibition of farming.  The government simply sold homesteads to the rich, and they were only allowed to build houses and not use them for other purposes.

    Now around Xuanwu Lake, more and more folk houses have even formed primitive streets.

    As a new building material, cement has also become popular in Nanjing.

    The urban buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties also had to build walls.  Mortar is used for more refined ones, and muddy water is used for perfunctory ones. Now cement has become a substitute, because the cost is cheaper than mortar.

    In a word, the population of Nanjing is growing rapidly!

    "Pan Niang candy, sell Pan Niang candy. The good candy created by Mrs. Pan, buy it home and eat it for the New Year!"

    ? When Qin Liangyu got off the boat and came to the pier area, he heard a peddler approaching him with a load.

    Shops and street stalls are fixed and taxed.  This is not the first initiative of Zhao Han, it is the case of Daming.

    The peddler who carries the load and hawks must keep running. If he stops for too long, he is easy to be reported by the stall owner.

    "Is this Pan Niang Tang?" A scholar stopped him.

    The peddler smiled and said, "It's panniang candy. It's delicious. Can you buy some for the New Year?"

    The scholar said happily: "Everyone says Panniang candy is delicious, but I don't know where it is sold. You can quickly weigh two catties for me. By the way, who did you learn how to make sugar?"

    The peddler weighed the sugar and said, "My neighbor's second aunt is a nanny in the governor's mansion. This sugar-making method was brought out by that nanny. Mrs. Pan's unique craft is not easy for outsiders to learn."

    Qin Liangyu passed by the peddler and asked doubtfully, "Who is Mrs. Pan?"

    Xu Nianzu explained: "The wife of Governor Zhao."

 Text 358【Low-rent housing and the Grand Court】

    In the city of Nanjing, every household is decorated with lanterns and festoons.

    The custom of pasting Spring Festival couplets with red paper has already existed, and the big families also put on new lanterns, and the pavements and stalls on both sides of the street are full of New Year's goods.

    Since Qin Liangyu was going to visit Nanjing, Xu Nianzu let her see enough.  Put the salute in the reception residence, and take it to the street for a walk without eating, and go to the restaurant directly when you are hungry.

    Ma Wannian is already in his twenties, and the farthest place he has been to is Zhongzhou City.

    After he came to Nanjing, he couldn't close his eyes or close his mouth from ear to ear.  Everywhere is shocking and novel, as if entering another world.

    Walking near the Confucius Temple, Qin Liangyu suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this Wei Guogong's mansion? Why did you tear down all the walls?"

    Xu Nianzu explained: "Most of the officials in Nanjing have no houses to live in, and they are temporarily placed in some noble gardens. Wei Guogong's mansion is quite large, and half of it is set aside for the construction of official buildings. After the completion of the construction, officials can move in for free.  If you are transferred to another place or take up an official position, you will have to take the house back."

    "What about the other half?" Qin Liangyu asked.

    Xu Nianzu said: "There is no difference between the good and the bad in the Great Harmony. Although domestic slaves are free, many of them do not have a house to live in. They will inevitably be bullied and dare not resist when they are insulted and beaten. The other half of the house,  If it is repaired and rented out to poor people for thirty years, the house will automatically be regarded as the property of the tenant.”

    Qin Liangyu has nothing to say, because the predecessor of Wei Guogong's mansion is Zhu Yuanzhang's Wu Wangfu!

    If Zhu Yuanzhang knew that his Wu Wang Mansion was converted into a low-rent house for the poor, he would feel relieved.

    "Can I go in and have a look?" Qin Liangyu asked.

    "Madam Qin, please." Xu Nianzu smiled.

    Xu Nianzu introduced as he walked: "After the wall is demolished, the area around the wall will be converted into street-facing shops and sold to merchants."

    Qin Liangyu nodded and walked through the construction site, walked inside and said with a smile: "Many trees and gardens are still preserved."

    Xu Nianzu said: "The governor has an order, unless it hinders the construction of houses, the gardens can be preserved, and they can't be all bare houses."

    "Hey, are these good houses demolished too?" Qin Liangyu was puzzled.

    Xu Nianzu explained: "Most of the original houses were one-story houses, which could not accommodate many people. If they were demolished and converted into four-story brick houses, they could accommodate a lot of people and save land as much as possible. Even the pavements facing the street were built with three-story buildings.  , it can be used as a pavement, and it can also be used for living.”

    For houses with four floors and below, as long as the soil is not loose, there is no need to dig too deep for the foundation.

    It will not work if there are more than four floors. The foundation must be solid and the wall construction must be more particular.

    The sewer pipes have not been installed for the time being, and toilets and chamber pots are used for defecating and urinating.  Every morning someone comes to collect the dung, which can be sold for money when transported to the countryside.

    There is no special kitchen, so the earthen stove can only be repaired in the small courtyard in front of the building.

    The number of earthen stoves is definitely not enough, and you have to queue up when cooking, which is very similar to the Tongzilou in the early days of New China.

    Let the developers slowly improve these daily facilities, and they will automatically develop and improve when there is demand.

    You heard it right, it is the developer!

    In the Ming Dynasty, there were merchants who specialized in construction. Even the moat embankment in Beijing began to be contracted to private merchants in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

    A major case once occurred, the Beijing moat embankment repair project was subcontracted out layer by layer.  At the end of the subcontracting, the profit was already extremely low, and the merchants could only cut corners, causing a large river embankment to collapse, so the emperor chopped off a bunch of heads.

    Zhao Han suddenly wanted to build dormitories for officials and the poor, mainly because of the high unemployment rate in Nanjing.

    Those homeless who could not find a job used to either work as gangsters or beg along the streets for a living.  You can't just throw it all away for mining, right?  Nor can they immigrate to the north all at once.

    Every time immigration is carried out, the proportion is set, the number of rural immigrants and the number of urban immigrants, and the urban immigrants can learn to farm.

    If the proportion of urban immigrants is too high, they will definitely be caught blind when opening up wasteland and farming.

    Therefore, merchants were allowed to set up construction companies, and they were contracted to develop shops and houses, which could recruit many unemployed vagrants as handymen, and relieve the housing shortage of officials and the poor.

    The builders made money, and the building materials dealers also made money, which even stimulated the production of cement.

    The government seems to be losing money, but it can earn some back by selling land for shops, and it can earn some back by collecting taxes and rents.

    As long as developers don't let developers go empty-handed and don't play real estate as a capital game, real estate is also an industry that benefits the country and the people.

    After summing up experience in Nanjing, this model will be extended to other big cities.sp; Ma Wannian put away his smile and turned a little more serious.  Suddenly he was puzzled and said: "I forgot to ask during the day today. In the huge city of Nanjing, there are no soldiers on the walls and gates. The cities we pass along the way are also, but there are no guards.  It's Zhang Xianzhong, isn't he afraid of the eight thieves' secret operations across the river to seize the city?"

    Qin Liangyu laughed and said: "There are soldiers at the gates of each city, otherwise who will close the gates at night. I have asked about this matter. Take Jiangling as an example, there are twenty soldiers at the gates of each city, and most of them are at the gates.  Inside the city tower. These sergeants are all over 35 years old and retired from the army. The guards and police officers in the city are either retired veterans or hired farmers and soldiers."

    "This is not enough people." Ma Wannian said.

    "Zhang Xianzhong dare not cross the river," Qin Liangyu shook his head. "The eight thieves have been fighting for territory, and they haven't even built a serious navy. Even if he can sneak attack and occupy Jiangling, what's the use?  Jiang's team became a lone army instead. Although the Yangtze River cannot be defended everywhere, the eight thieves will definitely be noticed when they cross the river in a big way, and they will not be able to go back. There are countless peasants and soldiers in the villages and towns. When all counties gather together, they can cross the river with the eight thieves  And the army of Datong can take the opportunity to fight to the other side and occupy Zhang Xianzhong's big city along the river!"

    Ma Wannian asked suspiciously, "Can Datong peasants and soldiers stop the thieves?"

    Qin Liangyu said slowly: "The peasant soldiers in Datong are the same as the white-armed soldiers. They are half peasants and half-soldiers. The training time is longer than that of the white-armed soldiers. I heard that there are millions of farmers in Datong."

    "A million peasants and soldiers?" Ma Wannian was dumbfounded.

    Qin Liangyu nodded and said: "The more spies the eight thieves send out, the less he dares to cross the river to attack the city."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 359【Spring Festival couplets】

    "Over there, post over there too!"

    "Oh, you posted it crookedly, move a little to the left!"

    ""

    Zhao Zhenfang wandered around the yard, ordering servants to put up Spring Festival couplets at each door.

    Pan Qimei is also busy. She has learned a lot of pastry recipes this year, and has been making new year snacks by herself these days.

    ?As for Fei Rulan, she wrote Spring Festival couplets at her own pace.

    Spring Festival couplets have been around for a long time, but they used to be hung on wooden plaques, and it was only in the Ming Dynasty that they began to be written on red paper, and it seems that Nanjing originated.

    This is the first Spring Festival when he moved to Nanjing. After the Chinese New Year, Zhao Han will proclaim himself King of Wu.  The agencies under the Dudu Mansion will also change their names, and some departments need to be expanded or adjusted.

    The King of Wu is just the title of the king, and the future title of the country is still not determined.

    "Husband, come and write a copy, hang it at the gate." Fei Rulan came over with a pen and paper.

    Zhao Han picked up the brush, but he heard the guard at the door reporting: "Captain, Mrs. Qin is here."

    "Ask them to come in."

    Zhao Han didn't deliberately show courtesy to the corporal, he knew that Qin Liangyu was visiting Nanjing yesterday.

    Qin Liangyu led his grandson through the halls and courtyards, and did not see groups of servants along the way.  This made her a little surprised, but she also felt that it was reasonable, as if Zhao Han's family should be like this.

    Arriving at the inner courtyard, Zhao Han was writing Spring Festival couplets.

    Waiting for Zhao Han's handwriting, Qin Liangyu cupped his hands and said, "I have seen Governor Zhao."

    Zhao Han put down his brush: "Old Madam Qin, I have admired your name for a long time!"

    Fei Rulan stood beside her husband, bent down and gave Qin Liangyu a blessing.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I have just written a couplet for the Spring Festival, and I invite Mrs. Qin to appreciate it."

    ? Qin Liangyu took two steps forward and read: "For a hundred years, the heavens and the earth will regain their vitality, and the mountains and rivers will be unified, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe. Good Spring Festival couplets, so bold!"

    After setting up chairs, everyone sat down around, Fei Rulan brought snacks to entertain, and asked Xiyue to make a pot of tea.

    Zhao Han asked: "Is Mrs. Qin still used to living in Nanjing?"

    "Everything is fine." Qin Liangyu replied.

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "How do you feel about Nanjing?"

    "Excellent!"

    Both parties did not go straight to the point, Qin Liangyu asked casually: "Why are the low-rent houses leased for 30 years, and the real estate belongs to the tenants."

    "Since it is rented out, no one is willing to move out unless they are forced to evict. If it is possible to force eviction, there may be no chaos in Nanjing, and chaos will inevitably occur in other cities," Zhao Han said with a smile.  Ten years of rent, the government barely recovers the cost of building the house, so what if the old house is donated to the people?"

    Qin Liangyu praised: "The governor has far-reaching considerations."

    Zhao Han continued: "The same is true for the division of land. Now it can be divided into individual names. The longer it takes, the more difficult it is to find out. Thirty to fifty years have passed, and after one or two generations, the land must belong to a certain household.  If it is a subdivision, there will be more chaos. At that time, we can only make adjustments, stipulating that the property of a certain household should not exceed the number, and the population of a household should not exceed the number."

    Qin Liangyu didn't want to understand: "As long as the government controls the household registration and field records, why can't they tell the difference?"

    Zhao Han explained: "The daughter of a certain family has land under her name, and she can't take it away after she gets married. These fields can only be attributed to a certain household. The government can forcefully intervene, but it can't be controlled at all, otherwise it will be taken away every day.  Officials are exhausted. In addition, the man of a certain family goes out to be an official or does business. After many years, he moves out of his household registration. The land under his name must be left to his family. One or two households will definitely be able to get it back. There are everywhere in the country.  How to deal with this phenomenon?"

    In ancient times, there were no computers, and the efficiency of the government was very low. If there were more such things, it would be impossible to ban them.

    Still the same sentence, you can't take back what you give.

    ? If you want to get it back, you have to expand the number of officials, and the administrative cost has risen sharply.

    Zhao Han didn't dare to build official housing in various cities too well, they were only a little more expensive than low-rent housing.

    This is learning from Daming's experience and lessons!

    After Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, he built many official residences, which were also distributed to officials, and they would be taken back after the officials retired.

    As a result, in just a few decades, Beijing officials have no place to live.

    Because more and more officials, after being allocated a house, don't even mention retirement, they don't even hand over the house after they die.

    So from the mid-Ming Dynasty, the houses where Beijing officials lived were either rewarded by the emperor, purchased by themselves, or leased with money.

    ?With the high housing prices in Beijing, if Beijing officials are not corrupt, after paying the rent every month, the salary can only barely"Brother Ma is versatile in civil and military affairs, how can he be a pawn?" Zhao Han said with a smile, "It happens that I want to expand the cavalry. If Brother Ma is willing, he can be the cavalry commander."

    Qin Liangyu said: "I know that the Datong Army has strict rules, and officers must be promoted based on their merits. Let him be a pawn."

    Zhao Han shook his head: "The Datong Army is short of cavalry generals. Brother Ma is a grievance to be the sentry commander. For the time being, he can only command a hundred cavalry. When the war horses multiply and expand the army again in the future, Brother Ma can command three to five thousand cavalry.  also."

    "Thank you, Dudu!" Ma Wanli was very excited.

    Although he practiced bow and horse since he was a child, Shi Jie did not have a large-scale cavalry at all.

    When Ma Wanli thought of commanding fine cavalry, crossing the battlefield, and being invincible, he felt very refreshed.

    Suddenly, Ma Wanli couldn't help asking: "The governor is so young, how dare you ask Gui Geng?"

    "Almost twenty-three years old." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Ma Wanli was speechless for a moment, he was one year older than Zhao Han.

    Qin Liangyu was also a little surprised, but he didn't dwell on it, but asked, "Where is the prince and princess?"

    Zhao Han said: "I went to study, I ate at school at noon, and I ate at home in the evening. They eat with me every day."

    "I see." Qin Liangyu was completely relieved.

    The two sides did not talk about the attachment at all, let alone the treatment after the attachment, it seems that talking about those things is superfluous.

    (To explain, small buildings with three or four floors don’t need much steel bars, or even concrete. Even if they are used, they only need to be poured once at the transition of each floor. As for the frame structure, it emerged after the 21st century.)

 Text 360 [Scaring off Zhang Xianzhong] (addition for the penguin boss)

    In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

    ? Zhao Han, Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, Qin Liangyu, Xu Nianzu, and Mao Yuanyi sat together to discuss this year's troop dispatch plan.

    Due to the lack of a map of Sichuan, Qin Liangyu drew a rough one, marking only important rivers, mountains and cities.

    "You must take Yunyang first, and if it is too late, take Wanxian," Xu Nianzu said, pointing to the map, "This will prevent Zhang Xianzhong from going west. This guy was already attacking Kuizhou last winter."

    Li Banghua shook his head: "If so, we must start a war with Zhang Xianzhong in advance."

    Mao Yuanyi said: "Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare to fight. If there is a real fight, whoever goes to Sichuan will cross the river and fight directly in the hinterland of Hubei!"

    Pang Chunlai interjected: "If we send troops to Hubei, our army's plan to march will be completely messed up. Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu are both in Shandong, Li is in Xuzhou, and Huang Shun is in Lu'an. Returning to the army will inevitably consume food and grass, and the gains will not be worth the losses.  .”

    Zhao Han said: "After Huang Yao formed a new army, he immediately attacked Yunyang or Wanxian. The navy went to Huangzhou and Jingzhou to cruise around and test Zhang Xianzhong's reaction."

    "Do you really want to start a war with Zhang Xianzhong?" Li Banghua frowned.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "There may be small battles, but I don't think there will be big ones. Zhang Xianzhong dare not fight at all. Once the two sides start a war, Guizhou (Zigui), Yiling, Jiangling, Jianli, Hanyang, Huangzhou, Qizhou  These cities are all likely to be attacked by our army crossing the river. How can Zhang Xianzhong defend them? He is engaged in farming in Hubei, and he has finally made progress. How can he allow it to be lost so easily?"

    "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case," Li Banghua said, "What if Zhang Xianzhong goes crazy?"

    "I'm not afraid of going crazy," Qin Liangyu said, "Take Yunyang down, and I will defend the city with Shibabai soldiers. As long as there is no shortage of rations, he will not be able to attack it for ten years. If he is stuck here, Zhang Xianzhong still wants to go west to Sichuan.  You have to slowly climb over the mountains along the way."

    Zhao Han made a decision and said, "Okay, give the Shi Jie Independence Regiment 5,000 soldiers, and the grain and grass will be raised by Shi Jie for the time being. I will send a fleet to bring in the follow-up military food. You can fly the banner of the Datong Army and wait until the summer grain harvest season.  At that time, I will have enough food and soldiers, and Huang Yao's troops will also march into Sichuan to reinforce."

    Pang Chunlai asked: "How far should Sichuan fight?"

    "Sichuan can't invest too much troops and food," Zhao Han explained. "This year's plan is only to capture three to five counties in Sichuan, and send officials to divide the land in Yunyang, Wanxian, and Zhongxian. Wait.  After the civil affairs are done well, relying on these three counties, we will slowly continue to divide the fields westward. Train as many local farmers, soldiers and officials as possible in Sichuan, so that we can use Sichuan's grain and Sichuan's soldiers to defeat the whole of Sichuan.  To attack Sichuan, I will only send Huang Yaona 7,500 people."

    "That may take several years." Mao Yuanyi said.

    "Two or three years at most," Zhao Han said with a smile, "There are still advantages to fighting like this. If you want to attack Yunnan and Guizhou in the future, you only need to send troops from Sichuan, and you only need to collect food from Sichuan, instead of transporting it all the way from Hunan."

    As a land of abundance, Sichuan suffered relatively few natural disasters in the late Ming Dynasty.

    As long as Zhang Xianzhong is blocked from going west, there will be no decent hostile forces in Sichuan.  Then what kind of heavy troops will be sent to conquer?

    The 7,500-person mountain division, plus 5,000 white soldiers, only needs to provide food and grass for the first year, and will definitely be self-sufficient in Sichuan in the second year.  At that time, Sichuan will not only not be a burden, but also become Zhao Han's food and military base. He can attack Yunnan and Guizhou in the south and go out of Shanxi in the north.

    As for Hunan, the training of farmers and soldiers cannot be stopped.

    In case Zhang Xianzhong is in a hurry, tens of thousands of farmers and soldiers will be recruited immediately, bonds will be issued to collect grain from the people, and they will directly cross the river to fight Zhang Xianzhong in Hubei!

    On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Han proclaimed himself king.

    No ceremony was held, because all the altars in Nanjing were destroyed, and even the ancestral temple of Lao Zhu's family fell into disrepair.

    If the ceremony is to be held, it is necessary to work hard to restore the buildings such as the Temple of Heaven and Earth.

    However, the official organization has changed greatly.

    ?The Dudu Mansion was changed to the Wu Wang Mansion, and the subordinate organizations were changed to: the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Commerce, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dudu Mansion, and the Secretariat.

    Ministry of Rites: Reformed by the Department of Propaganda and Education, it focuses on Datong ideological work and is also responsible for the Ministry of Education.

    Ministry of Industry: In charge of transportation and water conservancy affairs.

    Ministry of Commerce: in charge of national industry and commerce.

    Ministry of Households: Equivalent to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

    Ministry of Finance: Equivalent to the Ministry of Finance.

    Ministry of Punishments: Leads and manages courts across the country.

    ?The Department of Anti-corruption changed its name to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is not allowed to gossip, and everything is based on evidence.

    The Military Academy was changed to the Governor's Mansion, where soldiers were recruited, trained, and fought.

    &nbspI will do it myself!  "

    ?With Qin Liangyu as the backbone, the entire county quickly began to operate.

    Although Xie Zongtai doesn't know how to defend the city, he has the ability to obey orders, and he does all kinds of affairs in an orderly manner.

    Qin Liangyu's name was put on display, and the king of Wu was used as a signboard. The rich people were afraid of Zhang Xianzhong's robbery, so they donated money and food very simply.

    Then the Baojia law was implemented in the city, and all outsiders were detained in a centralized manner to prevent Zhang Xianzhong's spies from making trouble.

    There must be Zhang Xianzhong's spies in the city, he used this trick to capture countless cities.

    Zhang Xianzhong was injured.

    Seven years ago, he fought against Kuizhou once.

    ?The magistrate hadn’t taken office yet, and the judges, officials, and county magistrates all ran away, and the prefect He Chengguang stepped forward.

    He Chengguang led thousands of people, faced with the siege of tens of thousands of people, and held on until the army food ran out.

    The spies reported that there was food in the school yard. Taking advantage of He Chengguang's opportunity to transport the food, he robbed the prison and released the prisoners, and set fire to create chaos. Zhang Xianzhong broke through Kuizhou in one fell swoop.

    He Chengguang fought bloody battles. None of the seventeen members of his family surrendered and were all killed.

    After that time, as a precaution, two bronze cannons were installed in the capital of Kuizhou.

    Two months ago, Zhang Xianzhong personally supervised the siege of the city, but was shot by a cannonball.

    The man was fine, but the horse was frightened and fell down and broke his leg.

    During his recuperation, he caught a cold again in the winter, and he was so angry that he plundered Kuizhou City for three days.

    Now that the leg injury is healed, the bone setter is not skilled enough to treat Zhang Xianzhong into a lame man.

    After taking Yunyang, Zhang Xianzhong divided his troops into two groups, led the main force to Wanxian, and asked Li Dingguo to go to Kaixian County.

    On the way, a spy reported the military situation: "Your Majesty, the city has lost contact with the city. According to the local people, Shi Jie and Qin Liangyu have led white soldiers to garrison Kai County. And"

    "What else?" Zhang Xianzhong frowned.

    The spies said: "Emperor Chongzhen married his daughter to King Zhao, made King Zhao the king of Wu, and sent all his sons and daughters to Nanjing. Shi Jie's white soldiers also voted for King Zhao. Today, the city of Wanxian,  There are Datong military flags, as well as the Qin flag and the horse flag of the white soldiers. From a small distance, many defenders in the city are holding white guns."

    Zhang Xianzhong was furious: "Farting Zhao Tianwang, that is Zhao thief! First rob Lao Tzu's Huangmei County, and now come to rob Sichuan!"

    Hearing that the white pole soldiers were stationed in Wan County, Zhang Xianzhong suddenly had a headache.

    He had suffered a great loss from white soldiers. He was attacked by Qin Liangyu, Qin Yiming (Qin Liangyu's nephew), and Ma Xianglin.

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good!" A messenger came on horseback from the east.

    Zhang Xianzhong said unhappily: "What's the matter?"

    The messenger reported: "Zhao Tianwang's navy bombarded Guizhou and Yiling!"

    "Thieves Zhao bullied me too much!" Zhang Xianzhong was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood.

    Zhao Han has taken the Jianghuai area, which is equivalent to surrounding Hubei on two sides.

    In the northeast, the Datong Army can attack De'an Mansion from Xinyang.

    ? In the southeast, the Datong Army can attack Huangzhou Prefecture from Guangji.

    In the south, the cities along the river are all within the attack range of the Datong Army.

    Zhang Xianzhong didn't know that Zhao Han's strategic goal was to attack Shandong first. From his point of view, Zhao Han was likely to attack himself first, and then unify Huguang first.

    "Return to teacher!"

    Zhang Xianzhong was so angry that his teeth were itching. He was afraid that Wanxian, where the white soldiers were stationed, would not be able to attack for a long time, and his hometown Hubei would be copied by Zhao Han again.

    Not only did Zhang Xianzhong choose to withdraw his troops, he even vomited out the Kuizhou and Yunyang that he ate.  Because these two cities cannot be defended, once the Datong Navy cuts off the traffic on the Yangtze River, they will all become isolated cities hanging outside-the grain can also be transported by land, but the consumption is too high.

    ? Qin Liangyu only took a few entourages, and used a small plan to cooperate with the threat of the Datong Navy, so he forced Zhang Xianzhong to abandon Sichuan.

    Zhang Xianzhong found himself in a difficult situation. If he chose to fight Zhao Han, he didn't know where to fight first.

    Crossing the river and attacking Hunan is sure to seek death. Once the army goes south, it is very likely that the soldiers and food will not be able to continue, and the food will be stuck on the north bank by the Datong Navy.  Moreover, De'an Mansion in the northeast and Huangzhou Mansion in the southeast will all be attacked by the Datong Army.

    If it were to attack the Jianghuai River instead, the Datong Army might cross the river and attack the cities along the river.

    With a fixed site, it is so difficult to choose.

    It's not like being a rogue in the past, just rushing forward recklessly.

    Zhang Xianzhong returned to Jingzhou Mansion and received a letter from Zhao Han. The content was easy to understand: "I want Sichuan. You can go to Shaanxi and Henan. I promise not to take advantage of it."

    Just kidding, Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare to use troops at all.

    ?Because Huang Shun and Fei Yinggong had already stationed troops in Xinyang, and Li Zheng and Xiao Zongxian were transferred to Guangji, they might attack from these two directions at any time.

    Zhang Xianzhong didn't dare to move, at least before Zhao Han officially attacked Shandong, Zhang Xianzhong's army would never dare to mess around.

    (Thanks to the leaders of the two brothers cz` and Liu Zuma sb for the reward.)

 Text 361 [Turning and Storming]

    What Zhao Han was concerned about was not Zhang Xianzhong, but the increasingly severe spring drought.

    Last year, the drought in the north reached its peak. Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, the drought in the north was the most extensive and the most severe. The drought even spread to the Mongolian grasslands!

    This year, the spring drought has spread to Sichuan, Hunan, Guizhou and Guangxi.

    Among the provinces under Zhao Han's rule, only Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, half of Jiangsu, and two-thirds of Jiangxi were not affected by the disaster.

    Severe drought throughout Hunan!

    Just looking at the spring drought situation, we know that it is another catastrophic year.

    However, the Qing Dynasty was very lucky, because of the drought over the years, it only affected the Ningjin line.  As for the old den of the Tartars, there has not been a single drought, and it is enough to withstand the snowstorm in winter.

    "Do you want to suspend the Northern Expedition?" Huang Shunfu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, asked.

    "It can't be stopped," Li Banghua said, "If the drought is severe next year, why don't we stop fighting next year?"

    "We must fight," Zhao Han said very reluctantly, "persuade Zuo Liangyu to surrender. As long as he is willing to surrender, give him five ships to transport goods, and come to Nanjing to become a rich man."

    ? Zhao Han was also helpless. This year, he had to collect food from the victims, and the life of ordinary people would be difficult.

    If Zuo Liangyu is willing to surrender, he can save countless grains and save many people in Shandong from starving to death

    Shandong, Dongchang Mansion.

    ? Zuo Liangyu looked at Pan Duao with a half-smile, and said, "Zhang Xianzhong really wants to fight Zhao Han with me? But I don't have any food, and this year there is a severe drought in Shandong."

    "Zhao thief has food, just go and grab it!" Pan Duao said.

    Zuo Liangyu said again: "If you want to rob food, you will have to send troops, and if you send troops, you will have to spend money. I don't have enough money and food, so how can I go south to fight?"

    Pan Duao asked back: "Now that Zhao Han is going north, it is nothing more than the difference between beating Zuohou first or my king first. If Zhao Han kills Zuohou, the next one will be my king. If Zhao Han kills my king, the next one will be Zuo  If you and I don’t join forces, we will be defeated by Zhao Han one by one!”

    "Let me think about it." Zuo Liangyu didn't refuse, nor agreed on the spot.

    Pan Duao said with a smile: "Does Zuo Hou still want to join Zhao Han? According to Zhao Han's rules, even if Zuo Hou leads troops to join him, he will definitely not be able to command the army in the future. Without his own army, he can become a rich man.  Who can decide? When Zuo Hou's army is disbanded and all of them go to the countryside to get their land, who can not have their heart for Zhao Han? At that time, Zuo Hou's life and death will depend on whether Zhao Han is kind or not."

    Zuo Liangyu fell into deep thought.

    He is a typical military leader in the late Ming Dynasty, and his thinking has long been solidified.

    He can give up wealth, he can give up titles, he can give up official positions, but he can't give up the army!

    Because in his consciousness, giving up the army is waiting for death.  There are too many examples like Daming. If you have soldiers, you have everything, but if you don't have soldiers, you have nothing. It is normal to end up in exile.

    Zuo Liangyu asked: "If we join forces, how should we fight?"

    Pan Duao replied: "My lord, attack Xinyang and Luoshan in the north, and Guangji and Huangmei in the south. As for Zuohou, Xuzhou, Dangshan, Shangqiu, Kaocheng you can attack wherever you want. Such a three-sided attack, Zhao Han will definitely focus on his head."  Regardless of the tail."

    "I'll think about it again." Zuo Liangyu hesitated.

    He knew how capable he was, so he didn't dare to fight Zhao Han easily.  But he didn't dare to join Zhao Han, he was afraid of being deprived of military power, and afraid of being killed.

    It turned out that he still wanted to procrastinate, but Zhao Han was already on the border with him, so he could either beat him directly or deal with Zhang Xianzhong.

    Can't delay, fight, or surrender.

    How should this be done?

    ? Zuo Liangyu convened his think tanks and discussed for half a month, but still couldn't find any way out.

    Pan Duao waited all the time, waiting anxiously, despising Zuo Liangyu's indecision in his heart.

    A few days later, Zhang Dai came to Dongchangfu City as a messenger.

    "I admire the king of Wu very much, and I am willing to submit to him sincerely," Zuo Liangyu said, "I am willing to be the vanguard of the king.  You must swear to die!"

    This guy hinted at keeping the army as soon as he opened his mouth. How could Zhang Dai agree?

    ?It is not even possible to pretend to be a snake, otherwise Zuo Liangyu will use Zhao Han's name to burn, kill, loot and expand wantonly in Shandong?  It just ruined the reputation of Zhao Han and Datong Army!

    Zhang Dai said truthfully: "As long as Zuo Hou is willing to surrender, after handing over the army, five large ships can be used to transport goods and goods, and go to Nanjing to buy a house and a house to enjoy peace and happiness."

    Zuo Liangyu sighed: "I can't just think about myself.Food is worth the risk, and it is absolutely impossible for sea merchants to transport food over long distances.

    The war with Zhang Xianzhong had nothing to do with Zhao Han's meddling in Sichuan.

    Because even if Zhang Xianzhong attacked Sichuan, he would not dare to mobilize too many troops, so he must be on guard against Zhao Han at all times.  In the event of a catastrophe, whether to fight or not, who will make Zhao Han's territory more prosperous?

    Just when the two sides were dispatching troops and generals, Zuo Liangyu, who planned to wait and see the direction of the wind, suddenly received a shocking news.

    "Master Hou, the intruders have entered Beizhili!"

    "What?"

    The drought in Beizhili was equally severe. Because no food and salary had been paid, the defenders of Kaizhou, Guangping, and Damingfu rebelled.

    Two general soldiers were killed, one general soldier fled, and one general soldier surrendered to the enemy. Governor Chen Xinjia fled back to Beijing with the governor in embarrassment.

    Li Zicheng's general in the Henan direction led his troops into Beizhili, then headed northwest, and flanked Sun Chuanting with Li Zicheng from east to west.

    Sun Chuanting fled back to Beijing in defeat, and Li Zicheng broke through the Taihang Mountains to enter!

    Li Zicheng claimed to have 400,000 soldiers, and the cities along the way were watching the wind and surrendering.  Even the troops stationed at the imperial mausoleum took the initiative to seek refuge with Li Zicheng, and the eunuchs guarding the mausoleum even became leaders.

    In the whole of Beizhili, there are only Hong Chengchou's Jizhen soldiers, and they are still working hard to suppress bandits.

    When Hong Chengchou heard the news, he was about to lead his troops to serve the king. Li Zicheng had already led his troops to the city of Beijing.

    (The leader’s name was typed wrong, sorry, thank you Liu Nima sb’s leader for the reward.)

    (This volume is over, ask for a monthly ticket.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 362 [Still the Crooked Neck Tree]

    Historically, if Chongzhen wanted to move the capital to Nanjing, he had to make preparations at least one month in advance.

    Li Zicheng's capture of Beijing was an extremely exciting battle.  First, the troops were divided into two groups, and then the troops were divided again, cutting off the officers and soldiers from the north and the south, and approaching with a pincer offensive, forming a large encirclement strategy for Beijing.

    At the same time, there were partial divisions blocking the canal. Even if Chongzhen fled south, he could only go to sea from Tianjin.

    Now there is no need for that, the imperial court can't pay the military salary, and the officers and soldiers have surrendered one after another, Li Zicheng can just push it all the way.

    Along the way, Li Zicheng's army did nothing to the poor people.

    There is nothing wrong with it, the common people are all poor ghosts, and it is difficult for them to survive, so how can they have money and food to rob?

    However, the gentry was a bit unlucky.

    Especially the gentry in the city are often tortured.

    ? When Li Zicheng attacked Taiyuan, he was very vigorous in copying and copying. Beijing copying is just a copy of Taiyuan copying.

    ? On the eighth day of April, Zhao Han's birthday.

    Li Zicheng's vanguard troops occupied the earthen wall of the northern city of Yuan Dadu.  The capital was terrified, all officials turned pale, and the emperor and his concubines feasted and had fun.

    ? On the next day, the vanguard of the Dashun Army arrived at the foot of Beijing.

    Li Zicheng had already proclaimed himself emperor on the way to enter the army, the country was named "Dashun" and Jianyuan "Jianyuan", and he only had to go to Beijing to hold a ceremony of enthronement.

    Li Guozhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, commanded the three major battalions of the Beijing soldiers, stationed outside the city, forming a corner with Beijing.

    When the Dashun soldiers arrived, Li Guozhen fled without a fight. Not only did he lose his armor, food and grass, but he also threw more than a dozen artillery pieces to Li Zicheng.

    The important task of guarding the city fell into the hands of the eunuch.

    Many Beijing soldiers who had never practiced were driven to the city wall to defend.  Their armaments are sufficient, but unfortunately they have no military rations, so they can only stand guard on the city wall hungry.

    There is still food at home, and relatives carry miscellaneous grain porridge and call their names along the city wall, just asking their sons, brothers, and fathers to have a full meal before they die in battle.

    But the situation was so chaotic that they couldn't find their family members.

    If a family member meets, the soldiers go down the city wall, and the whole family cries, causing the entire wall to start wailing.

    Suddenly a horse galloped up, and Gao Chun, the eunuch guarding the mausoleum who surrendered, shouted loudly: "The King Chuang has an order. As long as Chongzhen abdicates, the lives of the royal family can be preserved, and the people of Beijing will not be attacked!"

    "Pull him up!" said Wang Dehua, the eunuch in charge of guarding the city.

    Gao Chun was hanged to the city in baskets, and the two eunuchs had a private discussion alone.

    Gao Chun asked: "Who is the commander in chief?"

    "Let me make the decision." Wang Dehua said.

    Gao Chun asked again: "Where are the two supervisors, Sun Chuanting and Chen Xinjia?"

    Wang Dehua said: "Sun Chuanting has been released from military power and is in prison. Governor Chen does not see anyone behind closed doors, and seems to have no will to resist." After finishing speaking, Wang Dehua asked, "Brother Gao, can you recommend one or two, we have admired King Chuang for a long time  .”

    Gao Chun smiled and said: "Hey, it should be called the emperor. King Chuang has established himself as emperor, and his country is called Dashun."

    Wang Dehua said: "Brother Gao, please go back and tell Emperor Dashun that Chongzhen has already made up his mind to die, and has already sent the prince and daughter to Nanjing."

    "There is such a thing?" Gao Chun has been guarding the tomb, and the news is very closed.

    Wang Dehua said: "Let's talk about surrendering soldiers, and we will be able to open the city to welcome the new emperor soon."

    Li Zicheng's temporary headquarters was in Changping, and Gao Chun rode all the way there to report the situation in Beijing.

    Li Zicheng said in surprise: "Have the princes and daughters been sent to Nanjing?"

    "Indeed." Gao Chun said.

    Niu Jinxing sighed: "Your Majesty and Zhao Han are the ones who fight for the world. Your Majesty should be diligent in government and love the people, treat scholars well, and reorganize the army. Copying salaries is not a long-term solution. You have to grow your own food and collect taxes."

    "I said that King Chuang didn't pay for the food, so can he go back on his word?" Song Xiance immediately objected, "What's more, the northern provinces are suffering from severe drought, how can they grow food? The eunuchs and officials in Beijing are all dead.  If they take away their money and food, they can support the army!"

    Niu Jinxing asked back: "How long can the army be supported by the salary alone? In the future, if our army can't win quickly in the north-south hegemony, what will we use to fight Zhao Han?"

    Song Xiance sneered: "Chuang Wang didn't pay the food when he came. This nursery rhyme spread to the south, and the people everywhere will definitely respond. At that time, even Zhao Han's soldiers will turn against His Majesty! Eighteen sons, the main artifact, Your Majesty is the destiny  Lord, how can you not win the world?"

    "Okay, let's talk about this later." Li Zicheng didn't want to argue anymore.

    Niu Jinxing's method is too slow to take effect, and as Song Xiance said, the provinces are severely drought-stricken to grow food.  really oldI can't see far away, I can only see the chaos in the Forbidden City.

    "Should I really be the king of subjugation?" Chongzhen looked up to the sky.

    If Zhao Han were here, he would definitely say: You really are.

    Not to mention this time and space, Hong Chengchou and Zu Dashou did not have any responsibility for the battle that decided the life and death of Daming in history.  Except for the two of them finally surrendering, the whole war was remarkable, and it can even be said that there was no mistake at all.

    At that time, the army rations of the Manchu and Qing were seriously insufficient. As long as the Ming army did not make mistakes, they could win a dull battle.

    One Chen Xinjia and one Zhang Ruoqi kept urging the troops to advance quickly, and Hong Chengchou was almost emptied of command.

    So he took the risk and rushed forward, the army ran a long way, and the rations were still left behind.  Huang Taiji, who was about to run out of rations, was like a vulture finding rotten meat, and seized the right time to occupy Daming's rations.

    More than 100,000 Ming soldiers lost their food and grass.

    At this time, Hong Chengchou was still able to remain calm, and no flaws could be found in all military orders.  As a result, on the way to withdraw the troops, the general soldiers rushed to escape, and the retreat turned into a rout in an instant.

    Not to mention Hong Chengchou's warlord, even if Han Xin is replaced as the coach, it is impossible to win such a foolish battle.

    However, the two chief culprits who led to the defeat—Chen Xinjia and Zhang Ruoqi—had nothing to do after the defeat, and they were still trusted by Emperor Chongzhen.

    To be honest, as long as Chongzhen doesn't randomly send supervisors and throw Zhang Ruoqi out to mess around, it will be really difficult for the Tartars to successfully enter the customs.

    Looking down at his Beijing city for a moment, Chongzhen found a tree with a crooked neck.

    Wang Chengen knelt on the ground and watched Chongzhen hang himself.

    "My country." Chongzhen took one last look at the city of Beijing, feeling infinite nostalgia and reluctance in his heart.

    The city is noisy and chaotic, but Meishan is quiet and lonely.

    The spring breeze blew, the branches and leaves swayed, and the emperor's body also swayed.

    A dynasty ends here.

    (I have something to do today, and there are only two updates, so I don't ask for a monthly ticket.)

 Text 363【Copy rate】

    Concubine Tian Gui did not die, she was not afraid of death, but reluctant to die.

    The year before last, she lost a son; last year, she lost another son; this year, she gave birth to another son.

    Historically, this son would also die young, so Concubine Tian Gui was overly sad, and died in the 15th year of Chongzhen.

    Now that the youngest son is less than a hundred days old, how can Concubine Tian Gui commit suicide?

    Although she kicked down the stool when she hanged herself, she grabbed Bai Ling with both hands and insisted on maintaining the position for a quarter of an hour, and jumped to the ground only after confirming that Chongzhen had left.

    Concubine Tian Guifei left the island in the middle of the lake by rowing a boat, and quickly ran to the elephant house, and brought out a strong royal horse.

    "Drive!"

    Concubine Tian Gui got on her horse and rode her horse towards Miyagi very skillfully.

    Because she was afraid of being recognized, she changed her clothes and let her hair loose to cover her face.

    Seeing a waist knife on the way, I don't know which guard threw it away, Concubine Tian Guifei hurriedly dismounted and picked up the weapon.  She galloped around in the palace city, wandering around for a quarter of an hour, and finally heard the cry of a baby.

    Concubine Tian Gui came to the baby, gritted her teeth and said: "The people in the palace are really untrustworthy!"

    Chongzhen also had arrangements for the youngest son, and asked his confidant eunuchs and wet nurses to go out of the palace and take them to Tian Hongyu's house to feed them.

    Tian Hongyu is the father of Concubine Tian Gui, the official to the left commander of the rear army, and the commander of Jin Yiwei.  In the unofficial history, Tian Hongyu brought Chen Yuanyuan to the capital and tried to dedicate it to Chongzhen but failed, so there was a story about Wu Sangui and Chen Yuanyuan.

    Obviously, both the eunuch and the wet nurse ran away and abandoned the prince in the palace, unwilling to abide by Chongzhen's will at all.

    Concubine Tian Gui picked up her youngest son and returned to her bedroom. She wanted to find gold and silver for money.

    As a result, the gold and silver jewelry disappeared without a trace, most likely because they were taken away by the eunuchs and maids.  After looking around, she only found a piece of broken silver on the ground. Concubine Tian Guifei picked up her bamboo flute and left.

    Holding the child in one hand and holding the rein in the other, Concubine Tian Gui rushed out of the Forbidden City and came to the foot of Meishan Mountain.

    At this time, Chongzhen hadn't hanged himself, and Tian Guifei didn't know the situation, so she rode around Meishan and went straight to Xuanwumen.  After leaving Xuanwu Gate, she didn't dare to ride a horse to show off anymore, and ran along the inner prison with her young son in her arms, and escaped from Bei'an Gate to the vicinity of Shichahai.

    "Wow wow wow wow"

    The baby cried endlessly, and Concubine Tian Gui was extremely anxious.

    The streets and alleys were in chaos, and many city guards were fleeing back to their homes.

    The soldiers of the Dashun Army also came in from Deshengmen and Andingmen, and were heading towards the imperial city.

    Concubine Tian Gui hid in a remote place, made herself unkempt, and her clothes were stained with a lot of dust and mud, and then she opened her chest to breastfeed her child.

    Since she has been breast-fed all the time, Concubine Tian Gui has almost recovered her milk.

    The baby sucked for a long time, but couldn't suck it out at all.

    Concubine Tian Gui could only keep rubbing and stimulating herself, and the baby gnawed hard, which immediately hurt her to death

    Coal Mountain.

    Standing in front of Chongzhen's corpse, Li Zicheng looked at the last written blood book on the ground with an extremely wonderful expression.

    For more than half a year, although Chongzhen died on a flat bed, he was full of resentment towards his ministers.

    In other words, it was the absurd fundraising last year that made Chongzhen completely give up on officials.  He left this suicide note purely to vent his anger through Li Zicheng's hand!

    "It has been fourteen years since I ascended the throneevery time I ask myself, I am not the king of the subjugated country, and all the ministers are the subjugated ministers of the country. I died without a face and saw my second ancestor, and my ancestors were buried in the ground. Now I take off my clothes to let my hair out  Fumian, let the thieves split my corpse to repay the suffering of the common people in the world. If there are loyal and heroic men among the thieves, I will kill all the civil officials and all the military generals on my behalf, so as not to hurt any of my people."

    Li Zicheng put away Chongzhen's suicide note and ordered: "Give a generous burial, and the eunuch who died will also be buried generously."

    After only one day of chaos, order was restored in the city of Beijing, and no large-scale looting occurred.

    Niu Jinxing said again, hoping not to copy the salary, even if the money and food are not enough, the honorable officials can donate.

    Li Zicheng thought about it, and felt that he was about to ascend the throne, and he really shouldn't do what he did before.  So he put up notices all over the city, hoping that rich people can donate money and food, and then the miraculous scene happened again.

    Xue Guoguan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, took the lead in donating three thousand taels.

    Xue Guoguan felt that by donating so much, he could already show his loyalty. If he directly donated tens of thousands of taels, wouldn't it prove that he was a corrupt official?

    ?With Shoufu as an example, honorable men and women donated money one after another, ranging from a few dozen taels to three thousand taels.  And there are also funny shows, listing houses for sale, setting up stalls on the street, selling calligraphy and paintingsall pretending to be poor there, as if donating money.??Zhao Han belongs to the big boss, after killing it, he can explode food

    Sun Chuanting walked out of the prison in a daze. His imprisonment had nothing to do with Chongzhen, but was purely implicated by the aftermath of the party struggle.

    It was also miraculous to get out of prison this time. The officials in the prison were all arrested and handcuffed.

    Sun Chuanting didn't even have a mansion in Beijing. Where could he hide his money?

    It's not because Sun Chuanting is so clean and honest, he was sent to Shaanxi as governor to suppress bandits before he had time to buy a house in Beijing.  From then on, he fought east and west, and every time he returned to Beijing, he led troops to serve the king. The only two exceptions were when he returned to Beijing and went to jail.

    In the end, when he served as governor, the imperial court couldn't even pay the military salary. Where did Sun Chuanting get corrupted?

    After being tortured, Sun Chuanting confessed truthfully. It seems that the torturers felt that it was outrageous, so they let him go.

    The rich and powerful families in the capital cried bitterly.

    Sun Chuanting was penniless, so he could only seek help from friends.  As a result, after visiting the door, I found that most of my friend's family had died tragically, all of them were tortured to death. There were several coffins parked in the yard, and there was no money to hire someone to bury them.

    The people in the capital were also miserable. It was true that there was no military disaster, but Li Zicheng raided a large number of grain merchants, which caused the price of grain in the capital to skyrocket again.

    Who can afford six taels of silver for one stone of rice?

    Fallen corpses can be seen everywhere on the street, and some people even steal the corpses home to eat.

    very hungry.

    Sun Chuanting was about to faint from hunger. He couldn't get enough to eat in prison, and he was handcuffed without food for a whole day.

    Dragging his body covered in bruises, he walked towards Beicheng District in a daze. There was a friend of Sun Chuanting there, and he might be lucky enough to get a bite to eat.

    After finally reaching the destination, Sun Chuanting stood outside the door and could hear the wailing inside.

    It seems that there is no food to eat.

    Sun Chuanting went in to pay homage and asked about the situation, and only then did he learn more about the officials.

    Only a very small number of officials committed suicide by martyrdom, and some hid at home and refused to surrender. Most officials fled to the new emperor.  However, there is no difference, they will all be tortured, and countless people have been beaten to death these days.

    Staggering away from his friend's house, Sun Chuanting didn't know where to go.

    In a daze, he walked into an alley, and several thin-faced men ran past him.

    These people came to a small courtyard and began to chatter there.

    "It's here. The previous owner was Deng Xin. He went to the south to join relatives a year ago. A few days ago, a woman came here with a baby in her arms. I heard that she bought a few catties of sorghum."

    "How many catties of sorghum are there? Can she keep it alone?"

    "This woman is very fierce. She carried a knife with her. She seemed to be a practicing family. Wu Er grabbed food and was killed by her."

    "No matter how powerful she is, she is only a single woman. If we stand shoulder to shoulder, we will definitely be able to restrain her."

    "Her few catties of sorghum are probably almost finished. I don't know if there is any money left."

    "Let's go in and talk about it."

    ""

    Sun Chuanting was so hungry that he panicked, and the scars all over his body had not yet healed.  He didn't know what to do, seeing a group of villains doing bad things, he just strode over to stop them.

    "Leave far away!"

    Before Sun Chuanting could speak, the group of gangsters became fierce towards him instead.

    "Collide!"

    The courtyard door was locked inside, and these guys took a few steps back, trying to knock the courtyard door open with all their strength.

    "Boom!"

    After seven or eight blows in a row, the gate of the courtyard fell down, and several villains couldn't stand still, and fell into the courtyard along with the gate.

    "ah!"

    "Forgive me!"

    Before these guys stood up, a woman with disheveled hair was slashing with a waist knife, and the sound of a baby crying came from the room.

    "Excellent skill!"

    Sun Chuanting clapped his hands in praise, rushed over to snatch the stick, and swung the stick to flank the woman back and forth.

    (There are things to do these two days, and there may only be two updates today.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 364 [The Manchu Qing sent troops]

    Sun Chuanting drank less than half of the last bowl of sorghum porridge, and then sat in the courtyard and wandered away.

    Concubine Tian Gui was breastfeeding the child in the house, she did not dare to reveal her identity, even though Sun Chuanting had just offered to help.

    "Da da da da!"

    There was the sound of horseshoes in the alley, and some officials rode their horses and shouted along the way: "Your Majesty has an order. All the squares in Beijing will implement the Baojia Law. From tomorrow onwards, the price of grain will be stabilized. Each square will supply grain according to the amount of Baojia! Officials below the third rank of the Ming Dynasty, or  Those who have been dismissed from their posts and are willing to submit to the new dynasty will be selected as officials immediately!"

    Sun Chuanting was a little surprised that Li Zicheng was short of food, so he sold food to the common people at a low price and limited quota.

    As soon as this policy comes out, the city of Beijing, which is about to collapse, can immediately restore order.

    "Master Sun." Concubine Tian Gui shouted from inside the house.

    Sun Chuanting asked: "Which family is Madam, have you ever seen me?"

    Concubine Tian Gui said: "Although you and I have never met, but Governor Sun reported his name just now, then we know each other. Please come in and talk to Governor Sun."

    Sun Chuanting stepped into the room, and the baby had already fallen asleep after feeding.

    "This is His Majesty's youngest son, who has not yet reached a hundred days." Concubine Tian Gui said.

    "What?"

    Sun Chuanting was taken aback suddenly, and quickly asked, "Do you have proof?"

    Concubine Tian Gui said: "I am in a hurry to leave the palace, and there is no certificate."

    Sun Chuanting frowned, doubtful.

    Concubine Tian Gui took out the bamboo flute: "This flute is made of jade bamboo inlaid with gold. In the whole north, only a few are planted in the imperial palace."

    Glancing at the bamboo flute, Sun Chuanting basically believed it.

    Sun Chuanting did not ask Concubine Tian Gui's identity, but only said: "What does Madam want me to do?"

    Concubine Tian Gui said: "A rebel official passed by just now. Officials below the third rank, or officials who have been dismissed, can be recruited on a merit basis. I am presumptuous, and I invite Sun Dushi to be an official in the puppet dynasty."

    Sun Chuanting became more and more puzzled: "Why?"

    "I have no money to buy food, and Sun Dushi has no money to buy food. It is important to save the life of the prince." Tian Guifei's reason is very simple.

    "Okay!" Sun Chuanting immediately agreed.

    Sun Chuanting immediately left with Concubine Tian, ??and the two agreed on their identity relationship, saying that Concubine Tian's mother and son were Sun Chuanting's deceased relatives.

    After reporting his name, Sun Chuanting was quickly received by Li Zicheng.

    In fact, Li Zicheng has been busy meeting various people.  He even went to the suburbs in person, communicated with the elderly nearby, and promised that he would be exempted from taxes for three years.

    There are also a large number of shabby officials in Beijing, who have no chance to embezzle, and all of them are poor.

    These poor officials were promoted and appointed by Li Zicheng, and they were also released to take over the prefectures and counties.  Give a sum of travel expenses and food, let officials promote the policy, and say that the land tax will be exempted for the next three years.

    Since one wants to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor, a grand ceremony must be held.

    If you want to hold a grand ceremony, you must have a large number of civil servants, otherwise the ceremony process will not be clear.

    Li Zicheng quickly restructured and set up a cabinet with Niu Jinxing as the head and assistant.

    ?The Imperial Academy was changed to the Hongwen Museum, the six departments were changed to the six governments, and the six departments were changed to the six governments' advice.

    Hou Fangyu's father, Hou Xun, has been appointed Minister of the Military Government, that is, Minister of the Ministry of War.

    Hou Xun was forcibly recruited in his hometown, he hugged grass and beat rabbits, and Hou Fangyu was also recruited.  If you don't follow the thief, you can't do it, otherwise you will be copied and killed!

    Sun Chuanting volunteered to serve and was immediately appointed as the left servant of the military government.

    Even, Sun Chuanting was given a mansion, allowing him to temporarily live in the confiscated Xungui's home.

    Next, a series of decrees were issued, and at the same time vigorously rectified the law and order in the capital.  Several Dashun soldiers who were forced to buy and sell were beheaded in public. The already very good military discipline instantly became equal to Zhao Han's Datong army.

    Sun Chuanting was very shocked by this, but soon disappointed again.

    The civil officials under Li Zicheng's command are actually decorations, because the principle of using officials is "to use force to control literature".  Sun Chuanting's position is similar to the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, but he can only assist in the management of ordnance, and cannot intervene in military issues at all.

    In order to show his magnanimity, Li Zicheng even appointed Bian Dashou as the magistrate of Daxing County.

    Bian Dashou dug Li Zicheng's ancestral grave!

    "Your Majesty, good news, Hong Chengchou and Ma Ke are willing to lead their troops back!"

    "Okay, it's a great thing!"

    Li Zicheng was very happy. On the second day after he took the throne, Jizhen and Shanhaiguan all surrendered.

    It really is destiny!

    On Hong Chengchou's side, some generals still had doubts.

    ??!  "

    "Haha, the Han people are still so courageous."

    Hauge laughed out loud, which didn't surprise him.

    Every time the Manchu Qing came to attack the Great Wall Pass, the defenders of the Ming Dynasty all fled after hearing the news.  The only difference, before was to escape, this time it became a surrender.

    After accepting the surrender, Hauge encouraged him, and said to Tang Tong: "Soldiers are precious, don't delay, take the soldiers with me to fight Jizhou immediately!"

    Tang Tong came up with an idea: "General, I think we can attack Qian'an first."

    "Why did you call Qian'an first?" Hauge asked.

    Tang Tong explained: "The guard of Qian'an is Bai Guang'en. This man was originally a bandit, but he was recruited by the Ming Dynasty and became the general soldier. He is a thief himself, and he kills thieves ruthlessly. He has a great hatred against Li Chuang's lieutenant general.  Moreover, this man was born as a bandit, although he is well appreciated by Hong Chengchou, he has many conflicts with the other generals in Ji Town. Now that he is forced to submit to Li Chuang, no matter whether it is Li Chuang's people or Hong Chengchou's people, they may find him to settle old scores."

    Haug laughed and said, "There are no people outside here."

    "That's true," Tang Tong said with a smile, "Bai Guangen is anxious and afraid of being retaliated by all parties. As long as the general arrives, this person must surrender to my Qing Dynasty!"

    Haug said: "If Bai Guangen offers the city and surrenders, I will give you a great service!"

    "Thank you, General, for your appreciation." Tang Tong was overjoyed.

    ? The Manchu Qing division and Tang Tong marched together, and as soon as they arrived at Qian'an City to persuade them to surrender, Bai Guangen ordered the soldiers to open the city gate.

    Before a battle was fought, Hauge had 8,000 more soldiers under his command, and then sent his troops to attack Jizhou, where Hong Chengchou was sitting.

    Hauge was lucky in this way, but Dorgon kicked the iron board.

    Dorgon also attacked Xifengkou by surprise, but was immediately counterattacked by Cao Bianjiao.

    Cao Bianjiao led his servants to attack at night and killed Dorgon's big tent.  Fortunately, they were all elites. Not only did the Qing army not collapse, but they were able to gather troops to encircle them.

    Cao Bianjiao successfully broke through, led his troops to Jizhou, and joined forces with Hong Chengchou's pacesetters to defend the city.

    Hong Chengchou was very embarrassed, he had soldiers but no food.

    (Sorry, something happened, the update is late.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 365 [Siege]

    Jizhou.

    Hong Chengchou said to several generals: "There are still more than ten thousand soldiers in the city, but there is not much food left. At first, I wanted to rely on Li Chuang, and he could send some food as soon as possible, but now it is obviously useless. Let me tell you,  How should this battle be fought?"

    In the past two years, Hong Chengchou has been farming in Ji Town, but the drought has been severe for two consecutive years.

    Moreover, rebels are everywhere around, and Hong Chengchou still has to suppress the mob, and it is not easy to collect some food and it will be consumed.

    Jiang Zhu, the deputy general who escaped from Liaodong, said: "We can only break through the siege. After breaking through, we can go to Shanhaiguan and join forces with Li Chuang to attack Huangtaiji. At that time, Li Chuang will have to give the army rations. Or, after breaking through, go directly south.  , go to Shandong to join forces with Zuo Liangyu."

    Jiang Zhu never thought of defecting to Zhao Han, because he was born in Hunan.

    Zhao Han distributed all his family's property to military households.  The whole male family was sent to mine, and the female family members were also forced to remarry.

    It can be said that Jiang Zhu and Zhao Han have a sworn feud!

    Wang Tingchen said: "I think we should stick to it. When the army rations are finished, we will eat The longer we stay here, the greater the chance of winning for Li Chuang. Maybe we can kill the old thief (Huang Taiji)!"

    Hong Chengchou actually tends to stick to it.

    The Manchu Qing sent troops very hastily, and there was no time to come out in full force.

    Huang Taiji only had 40,000 soldiers in his hands, Hauge and Dorgon each received 10,000, and the remaining Eight Banners troops were still gathering in Liaodong.  Although Hong Chengchou didn't know the exact number, judging from the speed at which the Manchus dispatched troops, he could guess that the opponent must have insufficient troops.

    Here in Jizhou, there are more than 10,000 soldiers. If they work together, they can defend until the Qing army runs out of supplies.

    Li Zicheng's 80,000 army is very likely to defeat Huang Taiji!

    But Cao Bianjiao said: "If you defend for a long time, you will lose. Tang Tong and Bai Guangen surrendered in anticipation. There may be some people in Jizhou City who want to surrender. You can defend for three or five days. After ten and a half months, what if someone secretly informs the Tartars?"

    Although these words are ugly, they make sense.

    The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty fought over the years, and many times they had the upper hand. Some people ran away for no reason, and some people surrendered for no reason.

    "It's because I didn't plan well, and I made a big mistake in employing people." Hong Chengchou must admit his mistake, because all the generals have resentment in their hearts.

    Tang Tong was brought by Hong Chengchou from Xuanhua. He believed that this person was trustworthy, so he arranged to defend the direction of Lengkou.  Unexpectedly, Hong Chengchou surrendered without firing an arrow. Hong Chengchou is responsible for knowing people and not knowing.

    Cao Bianjiao stood up and pressed his saber: "The two armies of the Tartar bandits joined together, and their strength is only 20,000. Including Tang Tong and Bai Guangen who surrendered, the strength is also less than 30,000. Tang Tong and Bai Guangen are both incompetent people, but they are large in night attack  When the time comes, take the opportunity to attack the Tartars. If the Tartars are in chaos, they will attack fiercely. If the Tartars are not in chaos, they will retreat to the city. Whether you are defending or leaving, first win a battle and then talk about it!"

    "That's right, let's talk about winning one game first." Wang Tingchen nodded in agreement.

    Hong Chengchou asked: "Who is willing to lead troops to attack at night?"

    Cao Bianjiao smiled and said: "Since it was my idea, I should go to attack at night. You should be prepared. Once the Tartar camp becomes chaotic, the army in the city will come out to kill the thieves."

    After discussing the details again, Hong Chengchou finalized the matter.

    Cao Bianjiao immediately selected the best and strongest in the army, and after nightfall, he led more than 400 cavalry and 500 infantry out of the city to attack the camp.

    After many battles, Cao Bianjiao's family cavalry has more than four hundred left.

    The night raid went very well.

    Although Tang Tong actively offered advice and meritorious service, the troops under his command had no fighting spirit, and felt that with the Qing soldiers in charge, the defenders would not dare to go out of the city to attack.

    Unprepared, Cao Bianjiao led the cavalry into the camp, and the infantry set fire to and killed the enemy camp.

    Tang Tong woke up in the middle of the night, and was so frightened that he rode his horse and ran away.

    "Father, save me ah!"

    Tang Tong vaguely heard his son's screams, but he couldn't care less.  His son can be reborn after death, but he has nothing when he dies. He frantically rode his horse towards the Qing army camp.

    The camps of Tang Tong and Bai Guangen were serialized together, but the camps of the Qing army were separated by a long distance.

    Bai Guangen's reaction was similar to Tang Tong's. He rode his horse and fled in the direction of the Qing army's camp.

    There were about 2,000 routs, all of whom fled to the Qing army camp.  Disrupting the periphery of Dorgon's camp, Dorgon was terrified, and ran in the direction of Haoge in fright, while ordering the soldiers to blow the trumpet to assemble.

    Dorgon is very powerful in political struggles, but as for civil affairs and military affairs, to be honest it's terrible.

    He was attacked by Cao Bianjiao at night at Xifengkou, and was almost hacked to death on the spot.  Now it's a surprise; "Your Majesty, it's not good, the Tartars are attacking Shanhaiguan in the pass!"

    "Step up the onslaught!"

    A few days ago, Li Zicheng had received news that two forces from the Qing Dynasty had crossed the Great Wall to attack Jizhen.

    Li Zicheng felt that Hong Chengchou was capable of playing, and it shouldn't be a problem to defend for two or three months.

    Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, the army of Jizhou was already destroyed!

    Li Zicheng did not dare to divide his troops back to defend Shanhaiguan, so he could only believe that Ma Ke could hold it.  He has attacked Yong'an Fort for 46 days, and he must do his best today.

    Tens of thousands of soldiers took turns attacking the city, rushing forward without risking their lives.

    The hot oil, gold juice, and rolling logs of the Qing army had long been exhausted, artillery and firecrackers were fired continuously, and the walls of Yong'an Fort were also bombarded in two places.

    But just can't get in!

    ?The Dashun army attacked wildly, while the Manchu Qing army gave up their lives to defend. The intensity of the war far exceeded the battles in the south.

    In this day alone, the total casualties on both sides exceeded 8,000.

    Huang Taiji's heart is bleeding, more than 600 Manchurian flag soldiers died today.  Several times, the surrendered generals like Wu Sangui couldn't stand it, and they let the Manchu heavy armored infantry go up to carry it hard.

    "Withdraw!"

    At night, Li Zicheng's entire army retreated, and it was meaningless to continue fighting. It would be more beneficial to return to Shanhaiguan for defense.

    Huang Taiji immediately sent cavalry to chase after hearing the news.

    However, the Dashun elite did not leave any flaws, and even withdrew their troops in an orderly manner. If it were the Ming Dynasty's official army, they would have retreated halfway and fled.

    The situation of the war has changed again.

    Li Zicheng and Ma Ke were trapped in Shanhaiguan, Huang Taiji led troops to the outside of Shanhaiguan, Haoge and Dorgon led troops to block Shanhaiguan.

    (ps: Regarding Li Zicheng’s military discipline of the Dashun Army, it can be divided into two stages. When Beijing was first occupied, Qiu committed no crimes, and the people in the capital were very willing to marry their daughters to Dashun soldiers, and they were proud of it. After the defeat of a piece of stone,  The military discipline of the Dashun Army deteriorated rapidly, and they robbed and even raped women during the retreat. Yang Shicong’s record should be the most credible. His wife, second concubine, and daughter committed suicide, and he had a deep hatred with Li Zicheng.  Too good to be true.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 366【Riding battle】

    Shanhaiguan.

    Liu Zongmin met Li Zicheng alone, and said, "Your Majesty, beware of Ma Ke secretly informing the slaves!"

    "I know, these generals are unreliable." Li Zicheng nodded.

    Due to time reasons, Li Zicheng had two main approaches to deal with the surrendered soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

    One is the guards and tomb guards who surrendered along the way during Li Zicheng's march.  These officers and soldiers were basically disbanded on the spot and sent back to their hometowns to work in the fields. A few young men were recruited to supplement the vacancies of the Dashun Army.

    One is the Daming Frontier Army. Because they maintain their combat effectiveness, it is temporarily inconvenient to move, so they are allowed to continue guarding the frontier.  If the troops are forcibly disbanded, the frontier generals are likely to rebel, and Li Zicheng does not have so much time for conquest.

    Hong Chengchou belongs to the second category, and Ma Ke also belongs to the second category.

    Ma Ke is already doing well. Facing the attacks of Hauge and Dorgon, he did not immediately choose to backstab Li Zicheng.  He was guarding the city and watching, what if Li Zicheng could kill Huang Taiji?

    Now that Li Zicheng retreated to Shanhaiguan, Ma Ke began to make up his mind.

    Li Zicheng said: "There are not many Tatar slaves in the pass. They are all partisans who took a detour to cross the Great Wall. Don't rush to break through, just wipe out these partisans! At that time, relying on Shanhai Pass, if the Tatar chieftain (Huang Taiji) does not withdraw his troops, he will find an opportunity to go out of the pass with him."  decisive battle!"

    Liu Zongbin said: "When fighting, take Ma Ke out, and our own people will guard the gate."

    "Oh, how dare you let him guard the gate?" Li Zicheng sighed.

    On this day, the follow-up troops of the Manchu Qing came.  With a full 60,000 army and a large number of grain transporters, it seems that the Tartars have already come out.

    Before sending out troops in a hurry, Huang Taiji could only mobilize 60,000 troops, but now he gathered 60,000 troops to kill them.  Not only that, there were also thousands of Mongolian cavalry in the direction of Lengkou and Xifengkou, crossing the Great Wall and entering Shanhaiguan.

    However, 120,000 troops were sent back and forth, and there were still more civilians. Liaodong's people's power has been seriously overdrawn.  Once the Shanhaiguan Pass cannot be defeated, the Manchu Qing regime will weaken from then on, and I am afraid that it will have to kill people to protect food to survive.

    "The Tartars have increased their troops again." Liu Zongmin said worriedly.

    Li Zicheng forced himself to be calm: "Follow him to increase troops outside the pass, and first destroy the Tartars inside the pass."

    Liu Zongbin led 10,000 troops and was responsible for defending Shanhaiguan.

    Li Zicheng took Ma Ke and personally led an army of nearly 60,000 to the battle. The soldiers pointed directly at Haoge, Dorgon, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, and Jiang Zhu in the pass.

    In "Ming History", it is said that Li Zicheng's tactics are "three walls", which is almost certainly a fabrication.

    At this moment, Li Zicheng also formed a triple formation, with infantry in the front, cavalry in the middle, and cavalry in the rear.

    Due to the continuous seizure of officers and soldiers' equipment, everyone in the elite of the Dashun Army wore armor. Even the infantry wore high-quality leather armor, and some infantry also wore heavy armor.  There are spearmen, archers, and firecrackers, but there are not many sword and shield players, and the defensiveness of the formation is far inferior to that of the Datong Army and the Manchus.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    There was rumble of cannons outside the pass, but it was Huang Taiji's main force, which was attacking Shanhaiguan with heavy artillery.

    Li Zicheng believed that Liu Zongmin could hold it, and ignored Huangtai at all, and sent his troops to kill Haoge and Dorgon in the pass.

    In order to quickly detour and attack, Hauge and Dorgon have all cavalry under their command.  They let the surrendered troops lead the front, and they themselves led the cavalry around the battlefield.

    Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Jiang Zhu and other surrendered generals were all scalp numb by Li Zicheng's army.

    On the way to Shanhaiguan, they all selected young and strong peasants to supplement their troops. Now each of them commands 5,000 troops, and there are 15,000 Han soldiers alone.  All mobs!

    "Quickly withdraw to Funing!" Dorgon was shocked.

    Haug said: "Yes, retreat quickly, this battle cannot be won!"

    Don't think how brave these two famous characters are, they also run fast when they encounter danger.

    There were still three miles between the two sides, and Hauge and Dorgon ran away with their cavalry, leaving the 15,000 infantry of the generals on the battlefield.

    "Run!" Seeing that the situation was not good, Tang Tong immediately fled with his family cavalry.

    ?The rest of the surrendered generals also scrambled to flee, and there were only 15,000 Han Chinese infantry left on the battlefield.

    Most of these Han infantry were civilians along the way, and some of them served in the army for only a few days.  They did not dare to flee back, fearing that they would be requisitioned by the Qing army again, so they knelt down and surrendered.

    "Chase!"

    Li Zicheng didn't bother to pay attention to these surrendered soldiers, and ordered the infantry to be guarded and collected, and led Xiaoqi and cavalry to chase the enemy cavalry.

    Xiaoqi are all elite cavalry, capable of charging, riding and shooting.

    The cavalry is much weaker, although it is also armored, it is more like riding a horse.?Holding up infantry spears, he charged towards the Manchu cavalry without risking his life.

    Abandoning the equipment, relying on the speed of the horse, charging quickly, and fighting at close range, this is the best tactic to deal with the Manchu and Qing cavalry.  In just over ten minutes, Li Zicheng realized it during the battle!

    The Haier Army just lacked cavalry equipment. Although the horses were relatively inferior, they ran much faster than the Manchu cavalry.

    Seeing this situation, Hauge and Dorgon hurriedly ordered to disperse, intending to repeat the old tricks and eat up the cavalry team.

    ?Under the leadership of Zhang Nai, thousands of boys and soldiers risked their lives. After being shot and killed hundreds of people quickly, they crashed into the scattered formations of the Manchu cavalry.

    It doesn't matter if the equipment is inferior, these teenagers are here to die, one for one, two for one, three for one, all are acceptable.

    Li Zicheng also brought Xiaoqi over to help, facing the shooting of other small groups of enemy troops, he rushed into the group of Manchu cavalry dragged out by the boy army.

    Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Jiang Zhu and other surrendered generals were all dumbfounded at this moment.

    They escaped to watch the battle from afar and witnessed the whole battle process.  So far in the battle, the Dashun Xiaoqi Cavalry had suffered more than 3,000 casualties, the Dashun Boy Army had more than 1,000 casualties, and the Manchu Qing cavalry had also suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

    Moreover, Li Zicheng has found a suitable tactic.

    The intensity of the war was too high, beyond the imagination of the generals, and they couldn't understand why both sides were not afraid of death.

    "Withdraw!"

    Some of the bitten Qing cavalry remained alive and were directly abandoned by Dorgon and Hauge.  They took the opportunity to distance themselves and wanted to continue playing routines.

    Li Zicheng gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw to Shanhaiguan!"

    Although this tactic is effective, it was created by Haierjun with all his life.  Although it can effectively kill the enemy, if you come a few more times, thousands of child soldiers will have to confess here, and Dashun Xiaoqi will have to pay a heavy price.

    Seeing Li Zicheng's retreat, Hauge and Dorgon came back with troops.

    Li Zicheng's hair was ruthless, and after he separated hundreds of boys into an army, the teenagers used their lives to cover Li Zicheng's retreat.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Text 367 [Plague] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Li Zicheng has already given birth to the idea of ??withdrawing troops, not from Shanhaiguan, but from the whole of Beizhili.

    Shortage of food!

    Even if the Manchus could be repelled in this battle, Li Zicheng would be completely out of food.  Once the food is cut off, not only the army will fry the pot, but most of the people in Beijing will starve to death. What's the point of being an emperor like this?

    It's better to withdraw from the vortex of Beizhili, take the army to other places to get food, and come back when the food is sufficient.

    Even if you want to retreat, you have to kill the Manchu and Qing cavalry in the pass, otherwise it is very likely to retreat until the whole army collapses.

    When Hauge and Dorgon came again with cavalry, Li Zicheng also brought cavalry to fight, but this time the equipment of Dashun cavalry changed.

    Do not carry bows and arrows, especially quiver, a few quiver are heavy.

    The inner armor is also taken off, and only the cotton armor for defending bows and arrows is worn, and even the armor piece in the cotton armor is also removed.

    Everything is just to reduce the burden on the cavalry.

    The surviving child army also has this set of equipment.

    Dashun Xiaoqi and Dashun Boyer Army, there are only 10,000 people left in total.

    Hauge and Dorgon still wanted to play routines, but they were scattered into countless cavalry and shooting, and the formation was so scattered that it was outrageous.

    The Dashun cavalry didn't care about anything, they even threw their bows and arrows at Shanhaiguan. Under the leadership of Li Zicheng, they divided into several groups and charged directly against the rain of arrows.

    It is life for life. After the Dashun cavalry lost weight, they were able to quickly catch up with the Manchu Qing cavalry who armored the key parts of the horse.

    This time it was Hauge and Dorgon was beaten. Because the formation of the Manchu and Qing cavalry was too scattered, after the cavalry of the two sides fought, a Manchu and Qing cavalry was often besieged and killed by several Dashun cavalry.

    Of course, the Dashun cavalry is not having a good time either. The enemies in each unit are scattered and few, and they have to find another unit after killing them.  And in the process of chasing, he will be shot and killed by the rain of arrows.

    The whole battle process can be simply divided into two links——

    The Dashun cavalry pursued and was shot dead by the Manchu cavalry.

    The Dashun cavalry caught up and killed the Manchu cavalry.

    After some fighting, Dorgon and Haoge couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately ordered the cavalry to assemble.

    After the assembly was completed, Li Zicheng did not dare to charge again.

    Because they can't rush, the Manchu and Qing cavalry are better equipped and have the advantage of bows and arrows. Once assembled, they can hang and beat the Dashun cavalry after weight loss.

    Li Zicheng directly ordered the withdrawal of the troops. They are riding fast now, and the Manchu cavalry cannot catch up.

    In this battle, the two sides each suffered more than a thousand casualties, almost a one-to-one record.

    Huang Taiji was outside Shanhaiguan, still bombarding frantically, and ordered the Han army flag to attack the city after the bombardment.

    In the afternoon, the cavalry fought again.

    This time Li Zicheng brought a bow and arrow, and both sides used traditional cavalry tactics.

    Fighting and fighting, Hauge and Dorgon played tricks again, Li Zicheng ordered the whole army to throw away their quiver, and they didn't wear the inner armor and cotton armor at all.

    ?It was life for life again, the Manchu cavalry dared not play anymore, and regrouped to fight, Li Zicheng once again withdrew to Shanhaiguan.

    Dorgon and Hauge were really scared of being beaten!

    Twenty thousand cavalry rushed across the Great Wall, and after several cavalry battles, only 14,000 were killed.  Although Li Zicheng's cavalry died more, how many Manchu warriors were there in total?

    In the next three days, although the Manchu and Qing cavalry would come over, they did not dare to approach Shanhaiguan, for fear that Li Zicheng would catch up and risk their lives.

    In fact, the Manchu and Qing cavalry can slightly adjust their tactics to break Li Zicheng's style of play, and exchange lives with Li Zicheng with equipment advantages-although it is still a change of lives.

    That night, in the name of discussing military affairs, Li Zicheng trapped and killed Ma Ke, who was thinking about surrendering.

    Then in the middle of the night, they took Dashun's elite and quickly withdrew from Shanhaiguan. Except for the grain workers (there was not much food left), the rest of the troops were left behind.

    The next day, when they met the Manchu cavalry, the infantry retreated cautiously. Li Zicheng personally led the cavalry and went to expel Dorgon and Hauge.

    After bypassing Funing, because there were no enemies ahead, and because Li Zicheng abandoned Shanhaiguan, the elite of the Dashun Army began to decay like a cliff.  Especially those old thieves, they knew that Shanhaiguan was lost, and Beijing would definitely not be able to defend it, so they looted along the way, and even insulted women to vent their desires.

    Li Zicheng turned a blind eye to this, and the Dashun Army, who had committed no offense in the autumn, became a traditional rogue once again

    Niu Jinxing, who stayed behind in Beijing, had received the news in advance and quickly organized the delivery of goods.

    Li Zicheng didn't dare to go to Shandong. Even if Shandong was captured, he was afraid of being flanked by the Man Qing and Zhao Han.  He wants to retreat to Shanxi, and then take Shaanxi, maybe it is still possibleIndeed, Zhao Han did not dare to send troops to Shandong, but set up checkpoints to block the people going south.

    Facing the terrible plague, all military plans had to be scrapped.

    Swallowing Shandong at this time is purely courting death. Even if he hadn't fought Zhang Xianzhong, Zhao Han would not take risks in Shandong.

    When the team reached the boundary of Yutai County, what Sun Chuanting was worried about happened.

    One family member was infected with smallpox, and two cavalrymen were infected with plague. Wang Tingchen and Cao Bianjiao responded quickly.

    The family members disembarked, the cavalry left, and they were thrown two bags of miscellaneous grains to fend for themselves.

    Arriving at the boundary of Pei County, the number of people infected with the plague had increased to double digits, and the entire team was in panic.

    But apart from abandoning the sick, they have nothing to do, and they don't even dare to leave alone.

    The team finally arrived in Xuzhou, but was blocked on the other side of the Huaihe River and was not allowed to come over.

    Every day, Datong soldiers patrol the river by rowing boats, and drive back those who try to cross the river.  This is extremely inhumane, but it is necessary. The plague must not be allowed to spread southward.

    "I have an idea, maybe I can try it." Sun Chuanting said.

    Cao Bianjiao asked: "Is there any way?"

    Sun Chuanting finally told the truth: "We have a prince on board, we will see if the other side will let him go."

    Two merchant ships sailed to the center of the river, and soon the Datong Army came by boat.

    The soldiers raised their guns and shouted: "Go back immediately, if you dare to cross the river again, the artillery on the bank will serve you!"

    Concubine Tian Gui hugged her feverish young son, knelt on the deck and said loudly: "The imperial concubine Tian of the Ming Dynasty, together with the prince, ask the King of Wu to take him in!"

    The soldiers did not dare to neglect, and went back to report to the superior.

    After discussing with Xuzhou Zhizhou, Fei Ruhe agreed to let these people cross the river, but they had to be quarantined separately by the river for one month.

    Not only Concubine Tian Gui, but also the rest of the smuggled people are treated in the same way.

    There are always people taking advantage of loopholes to sneak across the border, can they all go back?  Some of Zhao Han's sites are not blocked by rivers, so it is easier for people to run over.

    The boundaries of the jurisdiction, counties, villages and towns, grassroots officials and farmers' associations have already started functioning.

    ? Mobilize the people to defend in groups. Once strangers enter the village, they are immediately driven to the outermost part of the village, and these people are ordered to be isolated for at least one month.

    Waiting for a month before they get sick, they are asked to boil their clothes in boiling water, and they have to wash their whole bodies several times before they can be allowed to take refuge in the village.

    Shandong has already exploded, and Northern Zhili is about to explode. After the Manchus enter the customs, they will find that they have come to a land of plague.

    (Third watch is late but arrived, please ask for a monthly ticket.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 368【Start of War】

    At the beginning of April, spring plowing ends.

    Zhang Xianzhong has completed the assembly of troops and the mobilization of food and grass, and may attack central and northern Anhui at any time.

    At this time, Li Zicheng was about to surround Beijing, and Emperor Chongzhen was about to hang himself.

    Wu'an Town, Huangjia Village, where Zhao Han started the incident.

    A group of farmers and soldiers came to Huang Gui's house: "Captain, I heard that other towns are sending troops. Why is there no movement in our village or town?"

    Huang Shui is a veteran with a broken ring finger and little finger on his left hand. He returned to his hometown to serve as the captain and instructor of the peasant army.  Holding a bowl of gruel, he said, "There are too many soldiers in Wuxing Town. We fought wars a few years ago, and every time we sent out peasants, soldiers and peasants. This time, the superiors have said that they will not be recruited from Wuxing Town. You should go home honestly."  go planting."

    "Why don't people come out of Wuxing Town?"

    "That is, when we Wuxing people fight, one can outnumber ten. Our Wuxing Town accounts for half of the governors under Mr. Zhao's command!"

    "Don't send troops to Wuxing Town, let's go to the county to petition!"

    "What is a petition?"

    "You don't even know about petitions? Teacher Zhang said in school that a bunch of people go to the government and ask the government to agree to something, which is a petition."

    "Okay, let's all go to petition!"

    ""

    Huang Shui stood up abruptly, and scolded: "Stop, everyone! Peasants and soldiers are also soldiers, and soldiers should obey military orders. What is the military order now? It is Wuxing Town that does not need to send troops, nor does it need to send out civilian husbands. Everyone go home  , if you can’t find a job to do, hold your own mother-in-law to toss every day, and give Mr. Zhao a few more children to plant the land and pay for food!”

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    These words caused a burst of laughter.

    Huang Shui also said: "That Zhang Xianzhong doesn't know what is good or bad. He doesn't grow food himself, so he comes to grab our food. If he takes down Anhui, he will come to Jiangxi to pay for food. Are you willing to let him rob?"

    "I'm not happy, why should we give Zhang Xianzhong the food we grow ourselves?"

    "Captain, that's why we should send troops to help Mr. Zhao kill that son of a bitch Zhang Xianzhong!"

    ""

    "Shut up, listen to me," Huang Shui scolded, "The mayor and the village chief have made it very clear that this year there is a severe drought in the provinces, and Mr. Zhao is also short of food to fight. Since Wuxing Town is not allowed to leave  , then we should produce grain. Mr. Zhao will not let the farmers suffer. This grain bond has interest. If you save it for a few years, you can get back more. My family’s grain will be taken to the government to buy grain bonds.  This year's ration."

    Huang Shui held the porridge and said: "Think about it, go back ten years, what kind of life do we live? Can we afford white rice and drink white rice porridge? I'll take the lead and only eat two meals a day from now on.  , I only eat thin ones for every meal. Eat more sweet potatoes, bracts, and sorghum, and save all the good food and send it to Mr. Zhao to fight! If Mr. Zhao loses, no matter how much food we have left in the family, we will be punished by Zhang Xianzhong  snatch it?"

    "well said!"

    "If you listen to what your boss says, let's not go to war and give Mr. Zhao all the food!"

    "What interest do you need? The land at home is all given by Mr. Zhao, and all the food is donated to the government, as long as there is enough for the family!"

    "Go, donate food!"

    ""

    Regardless of whether Zhao Han calls himself the commander-in-chief, the governor, or sets himself up as the king of Wu, everyone in Wuxing Town loves to be called "Mr. Zhao".

    ?Because Wuxing Town was involved in all previous battles, not only were there many middle and senior military officers, but farmers, soldiers and peasants were also given a lot of land.  Taking the above field as the calculation standard, the land property of the common people in Wuxing Town has reached an average of six mu per person.

    The fields in Wuxing Town have long been insufficient, and new sites are often laid down, and the peasants or farmers and soldiers stay there.  Then their wives and children were also taken away, and the fields were redistributed in new places, and the original fields were distributed to other meritorious persons.

    It can be said that they have a high ideological awareness, and it can also be said that they are an emerging interest group. Anyway, they regard Zhao Han as a bodhisattva god.

    This is not only true of Wuxing Town, but also of the entire Luling County.

    In the early three counties of Luling, Jishui, and Anfu, Zhao Han had a lot of fanatical supporters, and the per capita land property of the three counties has exceeded five acres!

    In order not to affect people's livelihood, it is also to balance the army.  This time in the three counties, very few manpower was transferred, and Wuxing Town was not even allowed to send any more people.

    but……

    In the three counties of Luling, Jishui and Anfu, farmers spontaneously set off a vigorous grain donation campaign.

    In front of the bank's grain depot in Wuxing Town, a farmer held up the grain bond and shouted at the crowd: "See, all the grain in my family has been donated. If Mr. Zhao wants grain, just give it. Not to mention the interest, the principal  No need to pay back!"

    After finishing speaking, I tore up the bond in public, and then stuffed it directly into my mouthBai Wenxuan was already confused by the bombing, but he could dispatch two or three thousand troops to go around from both sides across the mountains.  But there may be a lot of deaths on the way, even if you can successfully climb over, it will take a month or two.  After the past, there was no military rations. If you want not to starve to death, you must first rob the village.

    After continuously attacking for half a month, Bai Wenxuan sent someone to ask Liu Wenxiu, but Liu Wenxiu sent someone first.

    "General, Jiuliguan can't be moved, can you move here?"

    "It's hard to beat a fart!"

    In addition to these two checkpoints, you can also go east out of the Dabie Mountains in the south.  However, there are a series of checkpoints such as Dacheng Pass, Baisha Pass, Muling Pass, Huangtu Pass and Hutou Pass.

    There are an average of two barriers in each channel, one is occupied by Zhang Xianzhong, and the other is occupied by the Datong Army.  The passage in the Dabie Mountains is not suitable for a large army to march. It is best to send thousands of partial divisions, but if thousands of partial divisions attack, Zhao Han can send hundreds of peasants and soldiers to defend it.

    Zhang Xianzhong's middle route army was useless, it was blocked by the Dabie Mountains and checkpoints.

    When both sides fight, it depends on the South and North Route Army.

    In mid-April, Chongzhen died.

    Zhao Han took his own soldiers and went to support Guangji in person, where there were Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang.

    The cavalry of Jeju Island also drew a vote.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 369 [Persistence]

    ?Guangji County (Meichuan Town, Wuxue City).

    Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang commanded 100,000 troops, and also had countless civilian husbands. They claimed that an army of 800,000 came to attack.

    Sun Kewang pointed to the brand-new city wall and said: "The construction started in July last year. What kind of cement was used to lay the bricks, with rammed earth in the middle and the foundation was not deep, so I think it will not be very strong."

    "Can the main force of the enemy army be in the city?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

    Sun Kewang replied: "I'm not sure. In Zhao Han's territory, he dare not ride a horse to inquire, otherwise he will be arrested as a spy. Recently, the enemy has frequently mobilized, and recruited peasants, soldiers and peasants on the spot.  It doesn't count."

    Zhang Xianzhong thought about it: "Spread out a group of cavalry, go east to investigate the enemy's reality, and see if you can plunder Wujiaxue by the way."

    Wujiaxue is on the bank of the Yangtze River. It was a commercial market town in the Ming Dynasty, which was later the urban area of ??Wuxue City.

    As for the county government of Guangji, there was no fortification in the Ming Dynasty.

    After Zhao Han occupied this place, he quickly built the city wall in half a year.  The stone and compound soil are used as the base of the wall, the rammed earth is used as the city wall, and the wall is made of cement bricks.  There is no moat, only a Meichuan River blocks it.

    The cement brick wall is very brittle, and it will fall off when it is bombarded with artillery. It is purely to protect the earth wall inside from the wind and sun.

    Strictly speaking, this is a traditional rammed earth city wall.

    "Old horse, this time you lead the cavalry as the vanguard. Be careful when you encounter the enemy. Zhao Han's firecrackers are really powerful." Zhang Xianzhong instructed another person beside him.

    This man is called Ma Shouying, nicknamed "Old Huihui".

    In the fifth battalion of Gezuo, King Zuojin was killed in battle with the Ming army. Geliyan, King Gaishi, and King Chaoshi were killed by Zhang Xianzhong and annexed their tribes.

    Now only Ma Shouying, the old Huihui, is left, and Zhang Xianzhong's territory is assigned to Yunyang.  This man was from the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty, and the cavalry under his command included not only Han Chinese and Muslims, but also Mongols.

    Zhang Xianzhong's army camped near Guangji County, and sent out a team of 2,000 cavalry as spies, while Lao Huihui took 5,000 elite cavalry and went straight to Huangmei County.

    All villages in Guangji County have been fortified and cleared.

    The people either retreated into the mountains in the northwest, or retreated into Guangji County.  Zhang Xianzhong led his troops all the way, some seedlings had already been planted along the way, and some paddy fields were too late to transplant.

    At this moment, the people defending the city looked at the enemy army outside, with hatred in their eyes.

    Especially those farmers who have no time to transplant rice seedlings. They have already sowed seeds to grow seedlings, plowed the fields to store water, and finished all the work, leaving only the crucial step of transplanting rice seedlings.  Once Zhang Xianzhong came, he did nothing for nothing, and the farming season had already been delayed!

    The next day.

    Zhang Xianzhong took out a pair of civilian binoculars, which Xizuo bought in Jiangxi.

    He sent many spies out, and all of them had family members as hostages.  But only half of them were able to come back, and they didn't know whether they were killed or stayed in Zhao Han's territory and refused to leave.

    The city tower is densely packed, and the number of defenders is very large, but it seems that they are all miscellaneous soldiers.

    Zhang Xianzhong put down the binoculars. He had an intuition that the regular army of Datong was not here.  The city should be full of common people, and those who guard the city are also local people.  According to the detailed report, every village in Zhao Han's territory has farmers and soldiers, and the defenders who want to come to Guangji County are mainly farmers and soldiers.

    This city is not easy to fight. Although there is no regular army stationed there, the preliminary preparations are too sufficient!

    No matter how difficult it is to fight, Zhang Xianzhong must be defeated.

    Due to the terrain, the Yangtze River is to the south and the Dabie Mountains are to the north. Zhang Xianzhong's passage for dispatching troops is very narrow.  If he didn't take the city and drove straight in, his food road was very dangerous, and it was very likely that the defenders in the city would run out and cut off.

    A few days before the siege, craftsmen and peasants must be sent to build seven or eight pontoon bridges on the Meichuan River.

    Zhang Xianzhong made people build bridges while cutting down trees to make siege equipment.

    Some of the scattered cavalry headed southeast, and they tried to plunder the commercial market town of Wujiaxue.

    When I rushed to the outside of the town, I saw that two wide ditches had been dug around the town. The farmers in the villages along the way had already evacuated, and most of them retreated to Wujiaxue Town for defense.

    The horse team ran back to report the situation: "Your Majesty, there are deep trenches outside Wujiaxue Town, and only a few trenches are left that are narrow enough to pass through. The farmers along the way are gone. I am afraid they have withdrawn to the town. There may be 20,000 to 30,000 people in the town.  .”

    Zhang Xianzhong frowned when he heard this. His original strategy was to rob food along the way and coerce the people to keep marching.

    But in the current situation, food cannot be grabbed, and the people cannot be coerced, so they can only slowly attack the cities one by one.  This mother is still playing a ghost?

    How much food and grass does Zhao Han have in his hand, so that he can play against the wall and clear the field!

    &nHeaps of human lives, try to consume the defense supplies of the defenders.

    Only when the supplies for defending the city were almost exhausted, Zhang Xianzhong would send elites to attack the city wall.

    Ancient sieges were so cruel.

    At the same time, Zhang Xianzhong was still digging a tunnel, trying to transport gunpowder through the tunnel to blow down the city wall.

    In addition, several Lügong vehicles are being manufactured, which are considered to be siege weapons.

    Half a month later, Zhang Xianzhong's siege cannon fodder killed nearly 10,000 people, and finally exhausted the firewood, hot oil, and gold juice in the city.

    During this period, Laohui sent people back to report that Huangmei County, Susong County, and Taihu County had all been cleared up.  He couldn't grab food, and he didn't bring much food and grass, and the main force of the enemy army never showed up, so he asked to return to the army temporarily to join.

    The news brought back by the old man made Zhang Xianzhong feel bad, this time he seemed to have stepped into the quagmire!

    Zhang Xianzhong has never encountered Zhao Han's strong wall and clear field style of play, and Zhao Han is the only one in the world who is willing to do this, so how much money and food will be consumed!

    If Zhao Han met Zhang Xianzhong at this moment, he would definitely yell at him: "Fortifying the walls and clearing the fields cost money and food? Do you fucking know how much money I spent on dividing the land and emigrating! I am immigrating a commoner, and it is countless times more expensive than raising a soldier!"

    Since the war has already begun, there is no room for halfway.

    Seeing that the supplies in the city were getting less and less, Zhang Xianzhong ordered to send elites to attack the city, and pushed out those Lugong vehicles.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    This time it wasn't firewood, hot oil, rolling logs, or golden juice, but it was smashed down one by one.

    Zhang Xianzhong's face turned green.

    Up to now, he has suffered nearly 10,000 casualties.  Let alone a single earthen city, even the enemy's regular army could not be found.

    "My lord, a tunnel is about to be dug through!"

    "Okay, those who dig tunnels will be rewarded. The whole army stops attacking the city, and after dark, ignite the gunpowder, blow down the city wall and immediately attack in the chaos!"

    (Ask for a monthly pass. ?

 Text 370 [Disgusting] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Although Zhang Xianzhong suffered close to 10,000 casualties, most of them belonged to cannon fodder, that is, forced laborers.

    These folk husbands are miserable. They were originally farming at home, but they were dragged to transport luggage for no reason.  Not to mention the transportation. When attacking the city, you have to be cannon fodder. If you don't go to attack the city, you will be hacked to death by the supervising team.

    ? Li Zicheng fought while fleeing, and the situation is similar.

    "History of the Ming Dynasty" said that Li Zicheng's tactics were "three walls", but the actual situation was "five layers of positions".  The front line is full of coerced refugees, the second and third army formations are infantry, the fourth army formation is cavalry, and the fifth army formation is Xiaoqi.

    It is obviously a method of warfare that violates military common sense. If the refugees in front are defeated, shouldn't they destroy the infantry formation?

    However, the actual impact is not significant.

    ?Because the infantry has long been used to the refugees breaking up, they will not follow them psychologically and morale.  The refugees will not flee back, because they know that Li Zicheng's soldiers are going to kill people, who would dare to charge in the densely packed gun formation?  When they collapsed, they fled to both sides.

    ?Use the large array of refugees to consume the strength of the officers and soldiers, and wait for the refugees to disperse, and then let the infantry go up, and the cavalry and cavalry took the opportunity to circle around the flanks.

    If the refugees really crushed their own infantry, Li Zicheng would flee immediately with Xiaoqi and cavalry.

    Anyway, refugees are consumables, and Zhang Xianzhong's husband is also a consumable.

    Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000-strong army attacked the city for half a month, only killing or injuring more than a thousand people, all of whom were killed or injured by the ten thousand enemies.

    At night, Shi Yongen couldn't fall asleep.

    He was sent by Xu Ying to Hubei as a spy, and he went to his relatives and became an apprentice in a dyeing workshop—a real relative, a real apprentice.

    Three months ago, Shi Yongen went out of the city with his relatives, and went to the outskirts of the city to celebrate the birthday of his relative's old mother.  It happened that he met a forced conscript man, and he was arrested in a daze, and worked hard for Zhang Xianzhong to transport the luggage all the way.

    One hundred thousand troops, two hundred thousand civilians, and Shi Yongen is definitely not the only one who is involved in the secret work of the civilians.

    ?Because Shi Yongen was relatively strong, he was also incorporated into the siege battalion and participated in the siege twice.  Every time he attacked the city, he was very timid, hiding behind the arrow-proof wooden boards of the ladder, ignoring the scolding of the supervising team, he took a long time to climb the ladder, and then quickly fled.  After fleeing halfway back, he met the supervising team and immediately rushed to the city wall.

    There are many civilians who do this, as long as they don't collapse completely, the supervising team doesn't bother to take care of it.  Anyway, I didn't intend to let the civilian husbands attack the towers, as long as they can consume the supplies for defending the city.

    That being the case, Shi Yongen's arm was also scalded by hot oil, and part of the wound had already begun to fester.

    Shi Yongen didn't resent Xu Ying, and sent him to Zhang Xianzhong's site as a spy.  Because Shi Yongen's family had already divided the land, his elder brother received a special arrangement and was directly promoted to be a member of the county yamen, and now he has become the chief of the engineering department.  And my sister, who married a county magistrate as a sequel, will definitely live a good life in the future.

    It would be great if I could go back alive.

    "Uncle Cao, are you asleep?" Shi Yongen asked in a low voice.

    Uncle Cao was a farmer in his forties. He sighed and said, "How can I sleep? If I attack the city tomorrow, I'm afraid I will die under the city."

    The civilian husbands could not escape, and were divided into several groups, specially arranged in the center of the camp, with Zhang Xianzhong's regular army in all directions.

    Shi Yongen said: "It is estimated that there will be a war tonight, and we will be making preparations in the evening. If all the soldiers go to attack the city, we will take the opportunity to escape and call on more civilians. If there is a big mess, we will definitely not be able to catch it."

    "This was caught and was about to be beheaded!" Uncle Cao said in horror.

    Shi Yongen asked: "If you don't escape tonight, you will die if you attack the city tomorrow. How can it be more cost-effective to die?"

    Uncle Cao replied: "It's not worth it."

    Shi Yongen said: "There is still a chance of survival if you escape, but if you continue to attack the city, you will definitely die. Which one do you choose?"

    Uncle Cao thought seriously, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Then run away!"

    "Take me with you when you run away." A siege battalion cannon fodder named Zeng Ayang next to him suddenly said.

    "Okay, let's run away together, the more people the better."

    Shi Yongen quietly crawled out again, took a few steps and said in a low voice: "Old Li, are you afraid of death? If you go to attack the city again, you will definitely die"

    The city guard of Guangji, Wang Hui, was originally the silly son of a landlord in Liuyang County.

    The scholarly family didn't study hard, and he didn't even pass the exam as a scholar. He was chasing chickens and dogs since he was a child.  When he was a teenager, he started to play with knives and sticks, and even rode the family donkey as a horse, saying that he wanted to practice riding and archery.

    A few years ago, bandits from Jiangxi crossed the border to plunder.

    Under the leadership of Feng Zuwang, the county magistrate, Wang Hui recruited the courage of the village to resist desperately. He personally beheaded the head of the thief and "flyed to the sky".

    Followed by Datong Army?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

    The old Huihui subordinate replied: "About two or three thousand, most of them don't wear armor, and only use a gun to run far away to release the gun. But there are hundreds of cavalry, and those horses are tall and strong, and they are very serious.  Armor, the vital parts of the horse are also armored."

    Zhang Xianzhong asked: "How tall can those horses be?"

    The man said: "It is much taller than the king's mount."

    "There are hundreds of war horses that tall?" Zhang Xianzhong asked in surprise.

    The man said: "Not only are they tall and strong, but they also charge very fast. They also have infantry, marching on mules, specially blocking the way of my general, and preventing my general from bringing cavalry back to join us."

    Zhang Xianzhong wondered: "Even if infantry ride mules, they shouldn't catch up with old Huihui cavalry."

    The man said: "The enemy army has sentry cavalry everywhere. Each team of these sentry cavalry has only two people. They don't carry any weapons. They march lightly and run very fast. They don't dare to fight. They run away when they encounter our army, and then  Run to the nearby market towns to light up the smoke and spread the message. Those towns have dug trenches outside, and there are many farmers, soldiers and people guarding them, and our cavalry cannot attack."

    As he said that, the man said anxiously: "Our army is all cavalry, and we don't bring much food and grass, and we couldn't grab food along the way. We ran out of food two days ago."

    Zhang Xianzhong was silent.

    Sun Kewang said anxiously: "Father, it's not an option to encircle the city with one hundred thousand elites and two hundred thousand peasants. Why don't you divide your troops and march eastward"

    "Where do you go east? The first three counties are the same as here. There are no people in the wild. Are you going to divide your troops and attack the city?" Zhang Xianzhong asked back.

    Sun Kewang said: "The spies reported that there are many market towns in the wild. Let's not attack the cities, but only attack these market towns."

    Zhang Xianzhong sighed: "The main force of the enemy army has not shown up, I am afraid it is trying to lure me to divide the troops. Once you lead the troops out, it is very likely that you will be surrounded, and you will not be able to return if you want to."

    Sun Kewang thought about it carefully, and felt that it was true.

    This battle was fought so badly that Guangji County had to be pulled out, so as to keep the grain road safe.  Even if they don't care about the issue of food roads, this is also the channel for their withdrawal. If they don't take Guangji City, they won't be able to withdraw their troops once they lose the battle.

    However, after beating Nima for more than half a month, the opponent's regular army has not been seen, and the county seat is still standing there safely.

    In the evening of the same day, Lao Hui came back with his cavalry, and said in a panic, "I came back by a detour. Zhao Han's cavalry is disgusting, and the infantry riding on mules with a large number of sentry cavalry is also disgusting. I lost two hundred of my cavalry."  Many, they didn’t die in battle at all, but were exhausted from food and hunger! Quickly order the rebellion, I haven’t eaten for two days!”

    Zhang Xianzhong ordered the Huotou army to rebel, first brought some pancakes to satisfy their hunger, and asked: "How many cavalry are there in the enemy?"

    "In the beginning there were only more than two thousand, and later there were a thousand more, and there were hundreds of heavy armored cavalry." Lao Hui said.

    Zhang Xianzhong asked: "Are they all much taller than my mount?"

    The old Huihui said: "It's not just tall. Compared with those war horses, our war horses are like mules! This battle can't be fought. We can't see people in the field, and we can't get food. The enemy army has no horses at all except cavalry.  Come out to fight, just wait for us to attack the city. This Guangji City cannot be taken down, how dare you divide your troops to attack other places?"

    Sun Kewang said: "Father, I'm afraid the situation in the north is similar, and Dingguo can only attack the city by force like this."

    It is easier to clear the fields with strong walls in the north. The drought in that poor area is severe. This year, it has been clear that there is no harvest.

    Old Huihui said: "When we are exhausted from attacking the city and our morale drops, the main force of the enemy army should come out. Moreover, the enemy army controls the Yangtze River and may send the main force behind us at any time. At that time, we will not be able to withdraw even if we want to. This battle is impossible.  Fight, quickly withdraw the entire army!"

    Wouldn't it be a big joke to withdraw troops now?

    The three-way army totaled 200,000, and the civilian husbands spent nearly 400,000.  Didn't take down a city, didn't grab a grain of rice, just go back in despair like this?

    Damn Zuo Liangyu, why didn't he go south to help?

    There is also Luo Rucai, who made an appointment to go south together!

    ? Zuo Liangyu was facing the plague in Shandong. He didn't dare to move, and the rear would explode if he moved. Moreover, the soldiers were often infected with diseases, so they couldn't fight at all.

    Luo Rucai actually dispatched troops, and came down for a walk.  After running two counties in a row, they found that there was no food to grab, and they didn't dare to go too deep, so they simply rolled back to the hinterland of Henan with the cavalry.

    "This Zhao is really shameless!" Zhang Xianzhong hated him.

    In the south and the north, six or seven counties with strong walls and clear fields consume enough food to fight a big battle!

    Zhao Han just doesn't want to fight, he just wants to waste food to save the people, and drag the enemy to exhaustion before fighting.

    It doesn't matter if Zhang Xianzhong drives straight in, it's better to go all the way to the prefectures and counties where there is no strong wall to clear the country.  When the time comes to stay away from the territory, the battle line will be stretched, and you can find countless opportunities to defeat it.

    Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth and said: "Attack for another three days, if you can't defeat them, withdraw your troops and let the miners speed up digging tunnels. As long as you break through Guangji City, you will definitely be able to get countless food and grass!"

    (Ask for a monthly pass.)

    &lt;/div&gt;surname, drag the enemy until they are exhausted before fighting.

 Body 371【Click back】

    Wujiaxue Town.

    Zhao Han felt very helpless, such a rich commercial market town, and there is no city wall to cover it, why didn't Zhang Xianzhong divide his troops to fight?

    As long as Wujiaxue is captured, Zhang Xianzhong will be able to grab a lot of food, because this is Zhao Han's military ration transfer station!

    Zhao Han himself, together with 2,000 personal guards, 3,000 Jinling peasants, a large number of local peasants, and 500 artillerymen, have been nesting here.  Li Zheng's 7,000 regular army rode around on mules, and rushed back immediately when they saw the smoke of the wolf.  The 60,000 farmers and soldiers and 60,000 peasants on the other side of the Yangtze River have basically completed their reorganization and can cross the river at any time, just waiting for Zhang Xianzhong to come to fight Wujiaxue.

    Alas, since Zhang Xianzhong won't come, he can only actively surround them.

    Hunan troops——

    Jiang Dashan led 30,000 peasants and soldiers, and 30,000 civilian husbands, across the river from the police, and went straight to Jiangling, Zhang Xianzhong's old nest!

    Li Zongheng led 30,000 farmers and soldiers and 30,000 civilian husbands to cross the river from Jiangxia to Hanyang Mansion.  (Li Zongheng was a soldier brought by Li Banghua. He made many military exploits in southern Jiangxi and performed well in suppressing bandits in Guangdong and Fujian.)

    Jiangxi troops——

    Jiang Liang and Xiao Shan first took a boat to Huangjiakou Town and used the town as a military and grain depot.

    Jiang Liang led 40,000 peasant soldiers and 40,000 civilian husbands, and immediately crossed the river to attack Qizhou.

    Xiao Shan led 20,000 farmers and soldiers and 20,000 civilian husbands, and Gu Jianshan led a navy to assist and protect, crossed the river and attacked Qishui County along the Xishui River.

    Especially the navy of Gu Jianshan, the small and medium-sized warships all came out, stuck in Xishui.  Even if Zhang Xianzhong can jump out of the encirclement, he can't cross the river by Xishui, he can only get into the Dabie Mountains and go back to his old nest.

    Even if Zhang Xianzhong can go back to his lair, he will find that his lair is under attack.

    In addition, Huang Yao's new mountain division has already begun to cross the river to attack Yiling, and Zhang Xianzhong's major cities along the river will all be attacked.

    Thousands of miles along the Yangtze River, there is no way to defend against it.

    It can only be said that Zhang Xianzhong is crazy, so he will take the initiative to provoke Zhao Han.

    But from Zhang Xianzhong's point of view, he has no choice at all.  The road to Sichuan was blocked, and if Sichuan was forcibly captured, Zhao Han might sneak attack on his lair at any time.  Going north to Shaanxi or Henan, there are all serious famines, and it is useless to beat them down.  Coupled with the severe drought this year, if you don't make a desperate move in advance, there will definitely not be enough food to send troops in half a year.

    Zhang Xianzhong had only three choices, either to lie down and die, or to submit to Zhao Han, or to fight desperately

    Yiling (Yichang).

    Huang Yao was the first to cross the river. In fact, Guizhou (Zigui) also had Zhang Xianzhong's garrison, but there was no need to attack Guizhou.

    Huang Yao only has a mountain division of 7,500 people, and 10,000 civilians are engaged in logistics.

    After landing, they set up camp on the first day and bombarded it on the second day, and asked the civilians to fill up the moat by the way.

    The stone city wall, more than seven meters high, was built by Zhu Yuanzhang at that time.

    There is nothing to say about this battle. Zhang Xianzhong took away too much food and soldiers. The Yiling defenders only had one thousand elite soldiers, and the remaining three thousand were all weak soldiers.

    In the case of insufficient food for long-term defense, and with the continuous shouting of the missionary officer, three thousand garbage soldiers fled one after another during the night.  Even if Zhang Xianzhong's thousand elite guarded to death, they would not be able to defend such a large city, and even fought with each other and caused internal strife.

    After Huang Yao captured Yiling, he selected some farmers and soldiers from among the peasants to defend the city.  With the main force himself, he took a boat down the river to help Jiang Dashan encircle Jiangling

    ? Jingzhou Fucheng, Jiangling County.

    This is the headquarters of Zhang Xianzhong, with twelve thousand soldiers stationed there, and eight antique bronze cannons on the city wall.

    "How is the battle going?" Huang Yao asked when he came.

    Jiang Dashan sighed: "It can't be conquered, the city is too high, the pond is too deep, and there are too many soldiers. It is useless to persuade them to surrender. There are many old thieves among the defenders, and the families of these old thieves are all in the city."

    Huang Yao asked: "How about I go to fight other cities first?"

    "No need," Jiang Dashan said, "According to the news from the elaboration, the bandits from all over the place have been taken away by Zhang Xianzhong, and other cities can only be defended, and it is impossible to send troops to reinforce this place. Dividing troops to capture the city is also a hard fight, and it has to be defeated."  Keeping troops stationed will not help the entire battlefield. As long as Jiangling is surrounded and gnawed down, all the prefectures and counties next door will have to surrender."

    Huang Yao curled his lips and said: "With so many defenders, if there is enough food, Jiangling will have to fight for at least half a year."

    Jiang Dashan said with emotion: "No wonder Zhang Xianzhong took the initiative to go to war. He raised too many soldiers. He took a few troops to fight Anhui, and he could leave these many soldiers to defend the cities along the river. How much food would be consumed on weekdays! We are facing a severe drought this year.  , if he doesn't fight out, he will starve to death!"

    &?Say it.  "Zhang Xianzhong said.

    The old Hui said: "The first method is to get rid of the 70,000 infantry and the 190,000 peasants. The cavalry, horse team, and mule team should go north to the mountains and return across the river."

    "Why don't you lead the army to Bailian Town and cross the river back along the edge of the mountain?" Sun Kewang asked.

    Old Hui said: "Zhao Han's navy is in Xishui, and they must send a large number of small boats to guard the entire Xishui River back and forth. If they bring an army of 300,000, even if they are not discovered by the sentry boats, they will be caught by Zhao Han.  Han's cavalry followed, hitting halfway would be the end of everything."

    Zhang Xianzhong sneered: "What's the use of bringing back only cavalry, horse teams, and mule teams? If we throw the army to Zhao Han, our troops will be empty, and the territory will be swallowed up sooner or later."

    Lao Hui said again: "Then don't want your family, and don't even think about going back. Take 300,000 people and kill all the way north. Maybe you can join the North Route Army, or help the Central Route Army break through the pass!"

    "Fighting like that is like a rootless duckweed. If there is a slight accident, the whole army may be wiped out at any time." Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and said.

    Old Hui said: "If there is an accident, we will take the elite and flee, and the Jianghuai land will be turned upside down!"

    Sun Kewang said depressedly: "Could it be that he has become a bandit again? I don't want the land, I don't want my family anymore, and I'm robbed along the way. Wherever I hit it, I count it, and I live it forever."

    "Until now, you still want to save the army and withdraw it intact?" Lao Hui said speechlessly.

    Sun Kewang clenched his fists and said, "Father, my son thinks that the troops should be withdrawn ostentatiously, luring Zhao Han's main force to show up, and fight with real swords and guns. Whoever wins will win the world; whoever loses will see the king of Hades!"

    Lao Huihui's two strategies, one strategy is to flee back with cavalry, horse teams, and mule teams, and the result is bound to be lingering.  Another strategy is to gamble heavily. If you win the bet, you can withdraw from the north and plunder along the way. If you lose the bet, you will become a bandit again.

    Sun Kewang's strategy was simple and crude, which was to put on a tough fight and hand over the initiative to Zhao Han.  The winner is king, the loser dies!

    Zhang Xianzhong hesitated.

    "My lord, a tunnel has been dug through, but the defenders in the city haven't found it!"

    Zhang Xianzhong stood up suddenly: "Immediately put explosives to detonate, don't wait until night to be flooded again!"

    No matter how you fight, first capture Guangji County, this city disgusts Zhang Xianzhong.

    (Ask for a monthly pass.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 372【Rescue】

    ,

    When you have your own land, family, property and stable life, who wants to live in a precarious life again?

    Unless it is absolutely necessary, Zhang Xianzhong will not choose the old-fashioned strategy.

    The rogues used to be barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, but now they all wear good shoes.  The generals owned countless lands, and the elite of the old battalion had become small landlords. They also had beautiful wives and concubines in their families, and many of them even had children in the past two years.

    Even if Zhang Xianzhong is willing to flee again, the soldiers under his command will not agree!

    Today, the siege has entered the second stage.

    ? In the first stage, use cannon fodder to consume materials, physical strength and morale in the city.

    In the second stage, cannon fodder was still used to attack the city, and elite troops were quietly mixed in to achieve unexpected results.

    The third stage is the elite onslaught.

    "Old Wang, there is a change outside the city!" The person who spoke was Zhu Shijing, the chief mission officer of the city guard, a descendant of the old Zhu family whose blood was so thin that he could not be called a clan.

    Wang Hui raised his binoculars, and sure enough, he saw that the enemy's flag order was different, and many elites who were clearly in a more orderly formation were being mobilized.

    Wang Hui did not dare to take it lightly, and immediately adjusted the deployment of the city defense, and arranged reserve teams at various streets and alleys in the city to be ready to rescue the city wall at any time.

    "Boom!"

    At this moment, there was a loud noise, and Wang Hui felt the city wall shaking under his feet.

    He turned his head to look, but saw seven or eight feet away, a big gap in the city wall was blown down.  Although the tunnel for filling the gunpowder was narrow, the gap in the city wall that was implicated and blown down was a full ten meters wide.

    That section of the city wall collapsed in a "U" shape as a whole, part of the wall fell inward, and part of the wall fell outward.  The gap was not a flat ground, but a pile of rammed earth. The rammed earth of the city wall was arranged into large and small clods, and the largest one was as big as several dining tables.

    There were even civilians attacking the city here. After the city wall collapsed, both the defenders and the attackers suffered a large number of casualties.

    The people defending the city fled in fright, and the soldiers who attacked the city also fled in fright.

    Some farmers and soldiers fled out of fear, and a small number of farmers and soldiers who were in the reserve team spontaneously ran towards the gap to fill their positions.  More farmers and soldiers subconsciously wanted to escape, but they froze in place, as if they were waiting for the officer's order.

    "kill!"

    A group of elite enemy troops who were charging quickly rushed towards the gap, and the morale of the nearby siege troops quickly rose.

    "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

    Wang Hui blew the flag one after another, and the messenger waved the flag on the tower, commanding the nearest reserve team in the city to make up.

    Many people really couldn't bear this upheaval, and fled to the center of the city completely unconsciously.

    Zhu Shijing stood on the tower and shouted: "The missionary officers do things, and the missionary officers do things!"

    "Beep~~~~~~~~"

    Suona issued a sound similar to an alarm, and more than 30 missionaries ran over, shouting slogans along the way, trying to stop this trend of fleeing: "Folks, if you run away, you will die. Zhang Xianzhong will kill and rob when he enters the city. Come back with me,  Protect our parents, protect our wives and children"

    A village chief was running away, but when he saw the Datong army flag planted in front of him, he rushed over to pull it up, waved the flag and said, "Tingqian village man, come back with me!"

    There are also the backbone of the peasant association, holding high the flag of the peasant association, charging against the current among the crowd, repeatedly waving the indigo flag in their hands.

    After only half a stick of incense, the fleeing people were stopped, and they followed the flag with various weapons in their hands to fight back.

    At the gap where the city wall collapsed, uneven piles of soil were formed, and the peasants and soldiers were fighting for the high ground with Zhang Xianzhong's elite.  Whoever can stop the pile of dirt will be able to condescend to kill the enemy. Due to the rush of time, neither side can line up and just fight by instinct.

    Wang Hui shouted an order: "10,000 enemies, 10,000 enemies, don't throw for now, listen to my orders!"

    There are not many enemies left, and they are reserved for critical times.

    On the walls on both sides of the gap, hundreds of thousands of enemies moved.  Looking at the bloody fight below, he didn't throw it immediately, but waited for more enemies to come and gather to die.

    Wang Hui asked the messenger to issue a flag order: "Light the smoke!"

    Zhang Xianzhong sent a full 30,000 soldiers to attack, all of them were soldiers, not civilian husbands.

    About three or four thousand rushed to the gap, and all the others climbed the city wall, and the remaining four Lu Gong cars all drove out.

    In the open space at the gate of the county government, An Qigong, the magistrate of the county, ordered people to light the beacon, while he himself led the people to gather in the city.  There are people who understand the flag order everywhere, and An Qigong sent some people to support which section of the city wall was insufficient.

    "Vote to the enemy!"

    ?"Bang bang bang!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Three thousand dragon cavalry shot three shots at the cavalry, then quickly got on their horses, and followed five hundred Xiao cavalry into the mountain.

    ?Because the opponent was running at high speed and the formation was extremely loose, 3,000 rounds of firecrackers fired ammunition (the firing rate was about 70%), and only shot down more than forty enemy cavalry.

    Laohui led the Xiaoqi to circle around, seeing all the Datong cavalry enter the mountain, how dare they chase into the mountain?  The opponent has 3,000 guns, and after entering the mountain, they can find countless favorable terrains to shoot.

    "Damn it, these cavalrymen are disgusting!" Old Huihui cursed and spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm.

    Ma Wannian, Qin Liangyu's grandson, is full of enthusiasm at this moment, and he knows that a decisive battle will soon take place.

    Wu Huapu, who came from Liaodong, and Zhou Yingyuan, the red helmet general, are also in the Xiaoqi team at the moment.

    However, the one-armed Wu Huapu can command a hundred troops.

    However, the tall and strong Zhou Yingyuan was just an ordinary cavalry soldier. As a guard of honor in Chongzhen, he had never been on a serious battlefield at all—even though he was excellent in riding.

    "General Lu, the enemy cavalry did not come after us." Zhu Tianxi rode forward.

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "Just keep the narrow road ahead, and wait slowly for King Wu's reinforcements."

    Zhu Tianxi, a native of Taizhou, was a military Jinshi in the ninth year of Chongzhen, and was sent to Guangdong as a guerrilla general.  As soon as he took office, Zhang Tieniu led his troops to kill him, and chose to surrender without any psychological burden.

    Not only was he born as a Wu Jinshi, he was naturally excellent in cavalry, but also served as a soldier in the Datong Army for four years. He was promoted to the commander of the Xiaocavalry a few months ago.

    Zhu Tianxi touched the Kaiyuan bow in his hand, and he was full of anticipation in his heart. He had been tired of being a pawn for several years, and now he was finally able to gallop on the battlefield.

    Moreover, riding the majestic Indian Pegasus.

 Text 373 [Thinking] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Zhao Han and Li Zheng set off with 9,000 reinforcements. They didn't need shields or wolf traps. All armor was removed, and only long spears and firecrackers were brought.

    There is no way, it is to reduce the weight of the mule. Putting on the armor will definitely weigh the mule down.

    Even so, a mule cannot run very fast when a grown male is riding it.

    This thing can really ride and fight!

    From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, there have been "Mule Army" in history books, and there are only two records in "Old Tang Book".

    "There are fewer horses, but more mules, and riding them to teach warfare is called the mule army." - "Old Tang Book"

    "General Cai has Dong Zhongzhi, who guards Huiqu, and his subordinates fight on mules. The mule army is the most powerful, and the officers and soldiers are always on guard." - "Old Tang Book"

    Of course, you can't fight on a mule, it's just a fast marching vehicle.

    Guangji City was ignited for half a day, and Zhao Han's reinforcements finally arrived at the assembly point, which was still several miles away from the county seat.

    Among the 9,000 reinforcements, there are 3,500 firecrackers.

    Lao Hui led the cavalry and cavalry to intercept and kill, Zhao Han immediately ordered to stop and let the firecrackers light the matchlocks.

    The melee arms ride on mules in the middle, and the mule-riding soldiers are on both sides.  After lighting the fire rope, move forward at a very slow speed. If the opponent dares to rush over, he will immediately get off his mule and shoot.  After the firecrackers finish shooting, the melee soldiers in the middle will come out to form an array.

    "woo woo woo woo!"

    The horn sounded continuously, and Lu Xiangsheng in the mountain heard the order and immediately led 3,500 cavalry out to meet up.

    Zhao Han didn't ride a mule, he rode a horse, and among the tens of thousands of mules, "the horse stands up to the mules".

    With the cover of the cavalry rendezvous, the marching speed was a little faster, and the old Hui Hui kept following and harassing.

    After walking another two miles, Lao Huihui finally couldn't hold back, and let the cavalry charge in a loose formation, so that he could lead the Xiaoqi into the chaos.

    Adding up the infantry and cavalry, Zhao Han had 6,500 firecrackers in his hands.

    Seeing that the enemy cavalry was approaching, he immediately separated half of them, stood on the ground and shot in three bursts.  And those melee infantry, smashed to help the friendly army hold the mule, so that the mule would not run away in fright when it heard the gunshots.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    After three bursts of shooting, more than 50 people in the cavalry fell down, and the pikemen quickly came out to protect the gunmen.

    The loose cavalry rushed to the vicinity, facing a lot of spears, they could only rein in their horses, slow down, turn around and slip away to avoid them.  These cavalry are also mounted infantry, they don't know how to ride and shoot at all, and they are capable of charging. Zhang Xianzhong also has a similar mule team.

    Lao Hui led thousands of Xiaoqi, and planned to charge in the chaos, at least he could also have a horse and shoot.  Unexpectedly, Zhao Han kept half of the firecrackers, and moved their positions quickly, and could restore the formation after moving.

    I always dare not rush.

    The enemies in front of them are trained at a frighteningly high degree, and the speed at which they move and change makes them feel numb all the time.

    Waiting for half of the musketeers to fire and reload their ammunition, Zhao Han ordered to march again.  As long as Lao Huihui doesn't get close, he doesn't bother to pay attention, because the other party is here to delay time.

    In the direction of Chilong Lake, 7,000 regular soldiers and 10,000 peasant soldiers have already disembarked and landed, and are trotting towards Guangji County.

    Now there are still six miles away, and the team of mules scattered by Zhang Xianzhong can already be seen

    Guangji County.

    The gap in the city wall that was blown down was still not breached.

    However, Zhang Xianzhong's elite troops had already occupied the city wall under a Lu public car, and more than a thousand people attacked and fought.

    Killing all the enemy troops who climbed up the ladder, Wu Yong left this section of the city wall to the people defending the city, and led the peasants and soldiers to support Lu Gongche.

    Wu Yong's current military position is the battalion commander. He was born in Zhao Han's personal army. The reason why he was promoted so slowly is purely because his brain is not flexible.  I only know how to play a dumb game with one eye and one eye, and my literacy is also very slow. I have learned more than one hundred words in a few years.

    "kill!"

    Wu Yong rushed forward with dozens of peasants and soldiers, and the people defending the city in front fell down. He stabbed the enemy's throat with a gun and avenged the people on the spot.

    After fighting for several years, Wu Yong only learned three tricks: stab, block, and pick.

    He has a stupid mind. After several years, he only practiced three moves, but he was fast, accurate and hateful!

    Facing Zhang Xianzhong's armored elite, Wu Yong, with the cooperation of the peasants and soldiers, stabbed several times in a row, all of which hit the throat.

    Stab out, retract the gun, stab out again, and retract the gun again.

    There is no ornamental at all, and it looks a bit clumsy.  However, when the tricks see blood, the guns are deadly.

    "kill!"

    Seeing Wu Yong's great powerDo the same!  "

    Withdrawing the troops was not a simple matter, and the civilian husband was ordered to carry the luggage and move them all to the mountain pass.

    It is impossible to leave during the day, because reinforcements are coming soon, unless Zhang Xianzhong drops his supplies and food.  If you want to bring food and grass, you have to sneak away in the middle of the night, and you will be chased until the whole army is defeated during the day.

    Shi Yongen's left arm had been festered in a large area, and he returned to the camp in a daze, his mind was always confused because of the fever.

    He was ordered to transfer grain and grass into the ravine, help push the cart, and fell down within two steps.  A soldier came over to check and felt that his forehead was hot, so he didn't bother to take care of it anymore, and let him fend for himself.

    Shi Yongen is actually not that weak, he just feels weak all over.

    Since no one cares about him, he is also happy to pretend to be unconscious, thinking about how to report to the camp - Zhang Xianzhong is going to slip tonight, a fool can see it!

    Zhao Han's two reinforcements arrived one after another, but it was already dark.

    Facing the camp that stretched for several miles, no one dared to attack rashly, blocking Zhang Xianzhong here has achieved the expected goal.

    "Your Highness, do you want to attack at night?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "You can try it."

    One wanted to slip away at night, and the other wanted to attack the camp at night.

    Shi Yongen was lying on the ground, and in a daze, he saw Zhang Xianzhong dispatching the elite old battalion to enter the passage in the mountain ahead of time.

    Is this an ambush?

    If Zhao Han discovered that it was an empty battalion during the night attack, and led his troops to chase after him rashly, he might be ambushed by Zhang Xianzhong in the mountains to make a surprise attack.

    Shi Yongen pretended to be weak, got up staggeringly, and said to the passing soldiers: "Hungry"

    The soldiers ignored him at all.

    Shi Yongen continued to walk out, shouting hungry when he saw officers and soldiers, and looked like he could be knocked down by the wind.

    After walking two miles, a soldier finally kicked him down and shouted: "You are not allowed to wander around in the camp, go back to the civilian camp!"

    Shi Yongen struggled to get up, then fell to the ground again, pulled up his sleeves and said, "Master Jun, can you help me find a doctor?"

    The soldier leaned closer to the torch and saw that the festering wound had already grown maggots, and immediately ran away with nausea: "Get out of here!"

    (Ask for a monthly ticket.) It took me a second to remember the address of this site.

 Text 374【Cunning Zhang Xianzhong】

    It's the second watch.

    Shi Yongen walked towards the outside of the camp with difficulty. As he walked, he suddenly heard footsteps and saw two civilian men running away quickly.

    All of a sudden, he ran over and went straight to the direction of Zhao Han's camp.

    Not long after, a few more peasants escaped from nearby.

    what's the situation?

    How could Zhang Xianzhong be negligent in guarding and allowing the civilians to flee, exposing the news that he retreated at night and set up an ambush?

    Could it be that there were too many civilians fleeing, and Zhang Xianzhong was busy withdrawing his troops, so he really couldn't handle it?

    It is very possible, and it belongs to the normal state of war.

    Shi Yongen was extremely confused, and Zhao Han was equally confused.

    Zhao Han knelt in front of two civilian husbands, and he didn't know if they were spies, so he didn't bother to make him stand up and speak.

    "Zhang Xianzhong really wanted to withdraw his troops overnight, but you found out and asked you to escape and report to me?" Zhao Han asked with a frown.

    A civilian husband said: "Zhao Tianwang, we really didn't talk."

    Another civilian husband said: "The eight thieves asked us to carry food and grass before it was dark, and moved all of them to the valley in the northwest. They must be thinking of leading the troops to escape at night."

    Zhao Han asked many more details, and waved someone to take them down.

    Li Zheng still had that cautious character, and asked, "Do you want to interrogate separately?"

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "No need. These two are real civilian husbands, and there will be no result in the retrial. What is worrying now is whether Zhang Xianzhong deliberately let them go to lure us into the camp, but set up an ambush in the camp.  Or lead us to chase into the ravine and set up an ambush attack in the ravine."

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "First attack the camp with hundreds of elite infantry and cavalry to test whether there is an ambush in the enemy's camp. No matter what, first occupy the camp of the bandits."

    "Yes, fight steadily, don't chase into the mountains for the time being." Li Zheng said.

    Xiao Zongxian held up a candle, brought the candlelight close to the map of Huangzhou Prefecture, and asked in confusion: "Will Zhang Xianzhong not flee to the northwest?"

    "He either goes out of the mountain to the northwest, or goes out of the mountain to the north. No matter which way he goes, he is surrounded by us step by step." Li Zheng said.

    Xiao Zongxian pointed to a map and said, "Isn't there a large space here?"

    Wang Hui, who had already returned to the team, explained: "There is a swamp, and it is impossible for the army to pass through. Even if it can pass here, it will take tens of thousands of troops a day to cross the swamp. Besides the swamp, it is not far from the main force of our army.  He can easily catch up, he might as well flee to the northwest."

    Zhao Han looked at the map again, and always felt that something was wrong.

    Zhang Xianzhong stayed in the camp, that is to stick to it.  Fleeing to the northwest, fleeing to the north, and finally crossing the river to the west, Zhao Han fell into the trap of mobilizing all kinds of troops to encircle and wipe him out step by step.

    If you were Zhang Xianzhong, how would you choose?

    It seems that there is no choice, no matter how you choose, it will be a dead end.

    There is indeed a valley in the west, and after passing through the valley to the southwest, you will face a large swamp.  It was very close to Zhao Han's main force, and it was impossible to get out of the swamp for a while. If he was found to be more deadly than half-crossing, it was impossible for someone who knew how to fight to walk in the swamp.

    But Zhao Han just didn't feel right, because Zhang Xianzhong couldn't be dealt with so easily!

    Just as everyone was discussing the military situation, several civilian husbands were brought in.

    Some people say that Zhang Xianzhong's elite infantry entered the mountain ahead of time and might set up an ambush in the ravine.

    Some people say that Zhang Xianzhong's elite went north, probably to forcibly cross Henggang Mountain.

    The three pieces of information before and after can all confirm each other, but it confuses everyone even more.

    Li Zheng said: "I suggest that first capture the enemy's camp, and then divide the troops to pursue after dawn. The infantry enters the mountain and advances carefully, and the cavalry goes around the exit to block the support."

    Wang Hui reminded: "If the elite of the enemy army goes north to Henggang Mountain, Guangji City cannot relax its vigilance. Zhang Xianzhong may return to attack the city with his carbine at any time."

    Lu Xiangsheng also felt a little tricky: "Zhang Xianzhong is forcing us to divide our troops, and he is also deliberately leaking the news, so that we don't dare to go into the mountains to pursue, so as to buy time for ourselves to withdraw. He retreats at night with a lot of food and grass. Even if he sets up an ambush, as long as we  Chasing him may also cause his army to flee."

    "But we don't dare to gamble. Who knows what's going on in the mountains? It will be troublesome if we crash into the ambush circle." Li Zheng added.

    Zhao Han's brain is not enough, not only the generals lack experience in commanding in battle, but he himself is not as good as those generals under his command.

    Zhao Han could only ask Lu Xiangsheng: "If General Lu were Zhang Xianzhong, how would he choose to fight?"Loyalty took the initiative to divide into several.

    Most of the civilians threw it to Zhao Han, and the remaining half of the civilians were ready to throw it at any time.  Tens of thousands of elite infantry were divided into two parts, and they were always ready to flee into the mountains or fight guerrillas during the ambush.  As for Zhang Xianzhong's food and grass, it is estimated that all the fire starters are ready, and all of them will be burned and will not be left to Zhao Han.

    And Zhang Xianzhong himself led more than 10,000 cavalry and horse teams, and also led thousands of empty mules.  First cross the valley in the west, then march from the edge of the swamp, and after passing through the swamp, rush around Chilong Lake to attack Qizhou!

    Qizhou City is Zhang Xianzhong's site, and under the attack of the defenders, and it is also a night attack, Zhao Han's siege troops are likely to collapse.

    Li Zheng led the whole army on mules and rushed to Chilong Lake desperately.

    Really desperate, desperate for the life of the mule.

    Mules have great stamina, but they are not good at running fast. If they are forced to speed up the march, they will die even if they reach the destination.

    Before the mule team, there was also a horse, Warima, which ran to Chilong Lake as a messenger, and then changed boats to report to the friendly army outside Qizhou City.

    Zhang Xianzhong set off when it was dark, but he needed to cross the edge of the swamp and run around Chilong Lake.  However, the messengers sent by Zhao Han were dragged until the second watch, but they could ride horses or boats in a straight line.

    It's really hard to say who will arrive at Qizhou first.

    (Ask for a monthly ticket.) It took me a second to remember the address of this site.

 Text 375 [Run away again]

    Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, Luo Rucai, Lao Huihuithese northwestern rogues may have no other specialties, but they are very capable of breaking through.

    As soon as Zhao Han pouted his ass, Zhang Xianzhong knew what shit he was going to do.

    Absolutely not to go to the west, Zhao Han must still be secretly mobilizing troops, withdrawing troops from the west will completely fall into the encirclement!

    This is the experience heaped up with human life. For several years, Zhang Xianzhong spent both being surrounded and breaking out.

    Luo Rucai also knew that if he returned directly to the army, he would be surrounded, so he proposed to flee eastward.

    Sun Kewang also knew the same, so he proposed to drag repeatedly, taking advantage of the loopholes in the continuous mobilization of troops between the two sides.

    Still Zhang Xianzhong was the most vicious. After Zhao Han's main force appeared, he immediately decided to take only the cavalry to attack and counterattack.  If the raid is successful, it will make a lot of money. Even if the raid fails, as long as Zhao Han does not return to the army in time, Zhang Xianzhong can slip away calmly.

    As for those elite infantry, in Zhang Xianzhong's view, they could no longer fight, at least they couldn't fight tough battles on the way to withdraw.

    After more than half a month of siege warfare, especially the last siege, the morale of the whole army has dropped to the extreme, and the Datong army has already become afraid.  If Zhang Xianzhong retreats with such troops, he feels that he is looking for death, so he might as well separate the cavalry from the infantry!

    More than 10,000 cavalry and horse teams rushed quickly with thousands of mules, carrying a small amount of food and kindling on their backs.

    They descended from an unexpected direction, namely the west side of Chilong Lake.

    The rivers there are criss-crossed and the paddy fields are everywhere. Let alone the cavalry, even a fast march is enough.

    But Zhang Xianzhong is here, and Sun Kewang is the guide himself, because this belongs to Sun Kewang's territory and he is very familiar with various rivers and terrains.

    In order to strengthen his control over wealthy areas, Sun Kewang paved dirt roads in key states and counties.  Although these dirt roads are only two meters wide, they can be used for cavalry, and it is very convenient to go to the countryside to collect food.

    Under the moonlight, between the complicated river network and farmland, Zhang Xianzhong's entire army galloped holding torches.

    It even crossed two small rivers on the way. The bridges on those small rivers were not built by Sun Kewang, but were built by local gentry in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

    Sun Kewang stopped and said: "Father, Qizhou is less than ten miles ahead, so you can order the whole army to put out the torches first."

    Zhang Xianzhong ordered the whole army to dismount their horses and bind their hooves, and continued to advance after putting out the torches.

    Another envoy was sent to contact the defenders in the city.

    The Datong Army said it was besieging the city, but it was actually stationed in the north and south of Zhu Lake, with many ships docked in the middle to communicate, and there was Li Shizhen's tomb at the place where the ships stopped.

    Lu Xiangsheng had already guessed the direction of Zhang Xianzhong's surprise attack, but his marching route was contrary to Lu Xiangsheng's guess.  Instead of going around to the east side of Chilong Lake, they went around the more difficult but closer west side, causing Zhao Han's cavalry to rush in the wrong direction.

    It's not completely wrong to jump in the wrong direction, as long as it is stuck there, Zhang Xianzhong can be prevented from fleeing eastward.

    "Enemy attack, enemy attack! Light the beacon!"

    About six miles northwest of Qizhou City, there is a camp on a small hill, in which a thousand farmers and soldiers of Datong are stationed.

    Although Zhang Xianzhong hid it well, he still exposed his whereabouts.

    "Advance at full speed!"

    Zhang Xianzhong could only mobilize ahead of time, regardless of this camp, the whole army rushed towards the main camp in the northeast of Qizhou City.

    After the beacon smoke rose from the camp, it was almost useless, because it was night, and the friendly troops a few miles away could not see at all.  They blew their trumpets vigorously, but it was also ineffective. This camp was used to spread news during the day.

    However, they forced Zhang Xianzhong to march faster, and the sound of rumbling horseshoes quickly awakened Jiang Liang in the camp.

    "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

    The brass whistle sounded in the camp, whether it was farmers, soldiers or peasants, they all quickly got up and assembled separately.

    Many of the peasants here are farmers and soldiers themselves!

    A surprise attack is also considered a surprise attack. Jiang Liang was killed by surprise, and he couldn't make a perfect defense in a haste. Fortunately, Zhang Xianzhong didn't know about it until he was thrown outside the camp.

    The defenders in the city also rushed out to cooperate with Zhang Xianzhong to attack the camp at night.

    It was the northern camp that was attacked, and there was a southern camp on the other side of the lake.

    Yu Liangfu, the main general of the Southern Camp, quickly assembled his troops. Instead of taking a boat to rescue his allies, he led 10,000 peasant soldiers and 10,000 farmers to attack Jizhou City directly!

    "Heroes, let's kill together!"

    Zhu Hekun pulled out his waist knife and shouted, rushing towards Qizhou City like crazy.

    This guy belongs to the clan of King Jing, and his father's title is General Zhen Guo.  Zhang Xianzhong led his troops to kill, and most of the lineage of King Jing was killed.nbsp; After a whole day, finally got the news that Zhang Xianzhong had crossed the Qishui River.

    Zhao Han finally understood Yang Sichang's mood, his mother's "ten sides spread the net", every time the net was not set up, Zhang Xianzhong had already run away!

    However, only the cavalry and cavalry were able to run away. Zhang Xianzhong's tens of thousands of infantry, food and civilian husbands were all pursued by Zhao Han in the mountains.

    Zhao Han deliberately chased him lightly, hoping to lure Zhang Xianzhong back to rescue him.

    Even deliberately let the enemy infantry who had been divided regroup and escape, but Zhang Xianzhong just didn't show up, and it seemed that he really abandoned all the infantry.

    Who the hell is this?

    It is absolutely impossible for Zhao Han to do such a thing. Even if there is only a chance of survival, Zhao Han will fight with tens of thousands of infantry.

    Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "Zhang Xianzhong will not come back, let's wipe out all these enemy troops."

    Lu Xiangsheng was also very depressed. He led the cavalry to intercept, but ended up blocking an empty space. Every time he misjudged Zhang Xianzhong's marching route.

    Regardless of Zhang Xianzhong's fighting ability, this guy's ability to escape is definitely an S-level general.

    To tell the truth, if Zhang Xianzhong was given 50,000 cavalry, he might be able to play tricks, and the interspersed raids would always be unexpected.

    Zhao Han got on his horse and ordered: "Follow at full speed, gather and annihilate the enemy's infantry!"

    (There will be two updates today.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 376 [Datong Town Victory]

    In the valley.

    The sentry cavalry scattered for several miles, and the mountain search team was also sent to the mountains along the way to search for the enemy.

    Suddenly, I saw thousands of enemy infantry, laying down their weapons and sitting in front, and some enemy generals were kneeling in the road tied with thorns.

    A sentry cavalry ran tentatively and asked, "Who is in front?"

    The general stood up on his knees, and replied loudly: "The guilty general congratulates Jiuyi, and leads all the troops to kneel to welcome His Royal Highness the King of Wu!"

    "You come with me, and the others are not allowed to move!" Said the sentinel.

    In the past two days, the enemy's grain transporters have escaped seven or eighty-eight.  Since the food and grass could not be taken away, some of Zhang Xianzhong's generals burned some.

    Regardless of whether Zhang Xianzhong left with the cavalry, this battle was already impossible to fight.

    It is said that there are tens of thousands of elite infantry, but only 10,000 to 20,000 can actually fight. The main reason is that Zhang Xianzhong's troops have expanded too much.  Moreover, most of the new troops that have been trained in the past year have not been allocated land. They are more like farming soldiers, and they have to farm the land to pay rent when they are not fighting.

    With such an army, it is okay to fight with the wind, but it may be defeated at any time when it is fought against the wind.

    ?After more than half a month of continuous siege, soldiers were lost and morale plummeted.

    Zhao Han led his troops in pursuit all the way. Not only did a large number of civilian husbands flee, but Zhang Xianzhong's infantry also fled one after another.

    At this moment, a large-scale surrender team finally appeared.

    He Jiuyi was escorted in front of Zhao Han, knelt down and said, "The guilty general, He Jiuyi, pay homage to His Royal Highness King Wu!"

    Zhao Han asked, "Where are you from?"

    "The criminal's ancestral home is Yunyang." He Jiuyi replied.

    "Isn't Zhang Xianzhong from the old camp?" Zhao Han asked again.

    He Jiuyi replied: "Report to the King of Wu that the guilty general was originally a good citizen of Yunyang. He could read a few words after reading for a few days. Because he could not be exploited by the government and Zhang Xianzhong led troops to kill him, the guilty general volunteered to serve in the army.  After Zhang Xianzhong became entrenched in Hubei, in order to win over the locals and check and balance the veteran generals, he continued to promote the positions of criminal generals."

    "I see." Zhao Han understood Zhang Xianzhong's approach very well, because Zhao Han himself was also promoting officers who were not from Jiangxi.

    He Jiuyi said: "The 6,000 infantry under the command of the sinful general are mostly sergeants in the field. There are only a thousand soldiers who have not done too many evil things. I implore the King of Wu to be magnanimous. The sinful general does not ask for anything else, but to be dismissed and return to the field as a farmer.  "

    "Who is the commander of the infantry left behind by Zhang Xianzhong?" Zhao Han asked.

    He Jiuyi said: "The commander's name is Wang Fuchen. He is from Shaanxi. He has been fighting with Zhang Xianzhong for ten years. According to the criminal general's guess, all the soldiers who came out of the valley in front of us are suspicious soldiers. The real elite infantry have been led by Wang Fuchen to cross the north.  At this time, most of them are rushing to cross the Qishui River in the direction of Liuhe Town."

    "I'm afraid they won't go there." Zhao Han laughed.

    There are 3,000 peasants and soldiers in Taihu County. They entered the mountain from Huating Lake and started along the valley road between the mountains. They were already stuck in the narrow valley formed by the Qishui River.

    It is best that Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry can also go there to approach the elite infantry.  Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the northern passage was blocked, leaving only a gap in the west. Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry had already rushed over, and Zhao Han's army could encircle them as soon as they arrived.

    Zhao Han ordered: "I'll give you a chance to pay off your merits."

    He Jiuyi was overjoyed: "Please show me, the king of Wu, the crime will definitely be death!"

    Zhao Han said: "You still take your soldiers with you, and your weapons will not be confiscated. Display the banner of the Datong Army, no looting is allowed, gather routs along the way, and persuade the enemy who has not fled yet to surrender!"

    "yes!"

    He Jiuyi kowtowed repeatedly.

    Zhao Han was not afraid of He Jiuyi's rebellion. The more soldiers he recruited, the less effective he would be in commanding.

    ?If the strength of the army should be reduced to 20,000 to 30,000, it would be difficult for He Jiuyi to command and march.

    Han Xin sent more soldiers, the more the better, not everyone can be Han Xin.

    Immediately, Zhao Han speeded out of the mountain with the army, and He Jiuyi ran forward to recruit the miscellaneous soldiers.

    After leaving the mountains, He Jiuyi had 30,000 soldiers under his command, including a large number of civilians.  Don't talk about commanding operations, the marching is messy, divided into more than a dozen small groups, just walking with He Jiuyi, only hoping that the logistics of the Datong Army will send food to eat.

    When he came to the plains, He Jiuyi sent out his own generals to temporarily act as officers of the surrendered troops, at least able to command more than 10,000 people.

    "Report!"

    "Your Highness, Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry tried to sneak attack our troops besieging Qishui City. After being discovered by our sentry ship, the sneak attack was fruitless and the attack was powerless, and it has disappeared without a trace. The defenders of Qishui County surrendered, and our army has occupied it.  Qishui County."

    This is ap; These fleeing enemies have lost their organizational system, and it is impossible to gather together into an army. Most of them are bandits with dozens or hundreds of people.

    After Zhao Han took over the territory, he had to organize peasants and soldiers to suppress the bandits, otherwise the banditry would be very serious.

    ?The enemy commander Wang Fuchen was chased away by Li Zheng. He collapsed from exhaustion after running for several miles, and was finally captured alive by Datong soldiers by the Datong Lake in the west of Datong Town.

    So far, Zhang Xianzhong's Southern Route Army infantry was wiped out, leaving only cavalry and cavalry.

    Those guys followed the river valley and plundered all the way to Yingshan County.

    Yingshan County is in the Dabie Mountains, and it is also Zhang Xianzhong's territory.  Cavalry and horse teams can replenish food and grass here, and then continue to flee along the valley.

    It was difficult for Zhao Han to catch up, and it was also difficult for Zhang Xianzhong to get out of the mountain.

    Zhao Han simply didn't bother to take care of it anymore, and dispatched civilians to build temporary camps to block the way out at the main mountain passes, and then sent farmers and soldiers to garrison in the camps.

    As for the main force, attack the cities along the way in an all-round way.

    When the news of Zhang Xianzhong's defeat came, the prefectural and county towns under the jurisdiction of Huangzhou Prefecture almost all surrendered in anticipation.

    Since you can't catch Zhang Xianzhong, just take all his territory!

    (Ask for a monthly pass.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 377【Li Dingguo’s soil work】

    Hanyang, city tower.

    Xu Yixian looked at the enemy army going up the river, and at Zhang Dai who was hanging up by the basket, his face was cold and numb.

    He has great ambitions and compares himself to Zhuge Liang.

    It's a pity that Zhang Xianzhong is not Liu Bei. He often doesn't listen to advice, and even if he listens, he only listens to half of it.

    Zhang Xianzhong is a very contradictory person. When he is cruel, he kills in cold blood, and when he is gentle, he loves the people like a son.

    Historically, Zhang Xianzhong once restrained the troops in Sichuan, forbidding soldiers to bully the common people, and violators would be beheaded.  The prime minister of the right, Yan Ximing, was cut off by Zhang Xianzhong because he lived in a mansion.  He asked the ministers of civil and military affairs to be honest and simple, and he was not allowed to marry local women.

    But when Zhang Xianzhong was provoked by the Sichuan gentry, he took the lead in killing, and many innocent people were also implicated.

    In this time and space, Zhang Xianzhong was similar in Hubei, and he was also very kind to the people at the beginning.  Gradually, the taste changed, and government orders were often changed inexplicably, and they all had their own set of reasons.

    Xu Yixian, Zhuge Liang, couldn't keep up with Zhang Xianzhong's train of thought.

    "Mr. Xu!"

    Zhang Dai came to the tower, smiled and bowed.

    Xu Yixian stood up politely, cupped his hands in return and said: "If your Excellency persuades you to surrender, you don't need to waste your words. The lord is still fighting outside, how can I surrender to the enemy inside?"

    Zhang Dai found a place to sit down by himself, and with a casual tone, he said with a smile, "I'm not lying to Mr. Xu, and I'm not talking about Zhang Xianzhong's death. But Zhang Xianzhong was indeed defeated.  Stop it. Does Mr. Xu know about this?"

    Xu Yixian was expressionless, but his fingers trembled involuntarily. He sneered and said, "This is a slander. Our army, horses and infantry have 800,000 soldiers, how can only the cavalry escape? Your Excellency, please go back."

    "Please look outside the city." Zhang Dai pointed to the outside.

    Xu Yixian got up and walked, holding on to the parapet with both hands to visit, but saw He Jiuyi escorting the two of them across the moat.

    He Jiuyi shouted to the city: "Military commander, surrender, the king has already wiped out the entire army, Wang Fuchen and Zhang Mingzhi are here!"

    As soon as this remark came out, the guards were in an uproar, and panic quickly spread.

    Wang Fuchen and Zhang Mingzhi are both Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates, and they are old thieves who have fought in the South and North for more than ten years.  And He Jiuyi, although a native of Hubei, is also a rising star under Zhang Xianzhong's command.

    Of the three generals, one defected to the enemy and two were captured. Zhang Xianzhong must have suffered a defeat!

    Zhang Dai walked to Xu Yixian's side: "Mr. Xu, if our army continues to attack the city and the morale of the army in Hanyang City is fluctuating, how long can you hold on?"

    Xu Yixian was silent.

    "If you surrender now, all the soldiers in the city will be saved from death, and you won't even have to dig mines and serve prison sentences," Zhang Dai said. "Take their wives and children and go to the north to share the land. The past sins are past the past."

    At this moment, the news of the Great Northern Plague has reached Zhao Han's ears.

    He really didn't want to kill any more people, and he didn't want to delay the siege, because it would consume a lot of food and grass.

    After Zhao Han seemed to think about it, he re-determined the policy: All the property of the soldiers under Zhang Xianzhong's command would be confiscated, and they would immigrate to Henan with their families, and they would be treated as ordinary people to share the land.  Even if you hide floating wealth, as long as you don't hide much, you will not be held accountable.

    Of course, when immigrating, they have to be dispersed and assigned to different states and counties.

    Henan is already empty, and Shandong is also plagued by epidemics. It is necessary to enrich the population as much as possible.

    As for the old thieves and generals under Zhang Xianzhong, they were carefully screened out and immigrated to Dongfan (Taiwan) and Qiongzhou (Hainan) to reclaim wasteland!

    Xu Yixian still didn't speak.

    Zhang Dai continued: "As for your Excellency, you can serve as an official and go to Henan to assist immigrants. In the future, no one will be treated differently for promotion. You call yourself Zhuge Liang, and you must be full of talents. You can quickly get promoted as an official."

    Xu Yixian felt very aggrieved. He was Zhang Xianzhong's military adviser, and he had the merit of surrendering the city, so he could only be an official?

    What if you don't surrender, Hanyang will be captured sooner or later.

    Xu Yixian sighed and said, "I don't care about the army in the city."

    Zhang Dai sat back in his original seat and said with a smile, "I am here waiting for your good news."

    Xu Yixian could only go to the general who guarded the city, and after a few words, it was quickly settled.

    Zhang Xianzhong was defeated, and the Datong army was approaching the city. No one was willing to stand firm and die. The military advisers and soldiers knelt together to welcome the King of Wu into the city.

    In order to show his majesty and deter these surrendered generals, Zhao Han rode a horse Warima, wearing a full set of armor, and led the soldiers striding forward.

    &Build floating bridges.

    Huang Shun's troops were a little further downstream, Fei Ruhe was in charge of defending this place, and Zhang Tieniu was in the middle to support the two friendly troops.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The artillery that has tried the ammunition drop point has been fired accurately and landed in the middle of the river.

    After a round of salvo, two pontoon bridges were destroyed.

    "Build a pontoon bridge, and everyone will be rewarded with twelve taels!" Li Dingguo roared and ordered.

    The death squads responsible for building the pontoon bridge were all death squads. Although many bamboo and wooden rafts were damaged, few of these death squads really died.

    It just continued for several days, constantly shelling and building bridges.

    Once the bridge is built to the center of the river, the firecrackers will shoot salvo at the enemy, and when the pontoon bridge is built, the Year of the Monkey will be gone.

    On the eighth day after the bridge was built, a sentry from the south suddenly came back to report: "Captain, the enemy cavalry wants to cross the river in the south!"

    It was Li Dingguo who sent cavalry to go around for sixty miles, trying to swim quietly at night.

    It's a pity that there were many landlubbers in the cavalry, and they didn't dare to swim directly. They had to make bamboo rafts first, and they were discovered by sentry cavalry of the Datong Army.

    When the cavalry smuggling was discovered, Li Dingguo finally said ruthlessly: "The peasants take the earth and fill up the river!"

    Of course it is impossible to fill up the river of history, just fill in this section.

    Due to the dry weather, the 40-meter-wide river channel is not only only 30 meters wide, but also the water flow is extremely slow. It is relatively easy to fill in a road.

    Just a little time consuming.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 378【Strike at halfway】

    The narrowest section of the river, about two miles long, naturally became the core of the struggle between the two sides.

    A large number of peasants carried soil and stones on their backs, hid behind the small shield car, poured the soil and stones into the river, and pushed forward bit by bit.

    The firecrackers can't penetrate shield vehicles covered with cotton armor, leather, and iron sheets, so they can only choose to bombard them with artillery.  After the shield chariot is smashed, and then a volley of firecrackers is fired, the peasants can be defeated across the river.

    "Again!"

    ? Li Dingguo ordered a replacement team of civilian husbands to go forward, and the fleeing civilian husbands were temporarily pulled back to rest.

    ?Continuous bombardment, continuous salvo, continuous rout, and continuous advancement.

    Fill the river with soil bit by bit!

    Other river sections are still trying to build floating bridges, but it is almost impossible to complete the task.  On the other side of each bridge point, only a small number of soldiers are stationed, and the pontoon bridge can be destroyed at a critical moment.

    Especially in the case of tens of thousands of enemies, the grenadiers are not enough, and the pikemen also come to guest.

    Anyway, the ammunition stockpile is sufficient, and when the enemy pontoon bridge reaches the shore, immediately throw tens of thousands of enemies on the pontoon bridge.  After a while of bombing, let the civilian husband go down the river to demolish the pontoon bridge, and our firecrackers provide fire cover.

    In the end, all the nearby bamboo forests were cut down.

    Thirty thousand people in Huoqiu County were conscripted to be husbands.  Not only helped demolish the pontoon bridge, but also built earthen walls along the river bank in the area where Li Dingguo filled the river.

    The earthen walls on the banks are similar to river embankments. Even if Li Dingguo filled the river and led the army to rush over, the Datong soldiers could still stand on the earthen walls and attack the enemies killed on the other side.

    ? If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it, and it is impossible to guard against it.

    Another seven days later, Li Dingguo's cousin Ma Siliang led 6,000 cavalry and successfully crossed the river 30 miles away from the battle between the two sides.  The terrain there is extremely complicated, and the Shi River divides into three tributaries, each of which is relatively narrow.

    Due to drought and low water, the shallowest tributary can only submerge the back of a horse.

    Ma Silian's 6,000 cavalry quietly crossed the main river overnight, and then crossed three tributaries.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The Datong army stationed in that area quickly came to form a formation to shoot, Ma Siliang ignored it, lost more than 200 cavalry and horses, and fled away with the rest of the cavalry.

    Nearly 6,000 enemy cavalry came to the rear villages and towns of the Datong Army, waiting for an opportunity to cooperate with the main battlefield to fight.

    But the river network is too complicated. If they want to get close to the main battlefield, they have to cross a river again It is an artificial canal built by the gentry of Ming Dynasty. It is not very wide, but it is about ten meters long.  Moreover, there are a large number of wheat fields and some rice fields on both sides of the canal, which are not very conducive to the march of cavalry.

    Under the command of Lu Xiangguan and Chen Tangong, there were only a thousand dragoons left, and they were sent to entangle Ma Silang's six thousand cavalry.

    A large amount of earing wheat was trampled by the cavalry on both sides.  Huoqiu County, which was supposed to have a good harvest, is destined to reduce its production this year, not only because of the stampede, but also because farmers cannot take good care of their crops after the outbreak of war.

    The cavalry of both sides circled around there, and no one could eat the other.

    Although Lu Xiangguan and Chen Tangong had few cavalry, they retreated in case of danger, and could call their own infantry for support at any time.

    At this moment, Li Dingguo divided his troops across the river.

    Ainengqi led 30,000 infantry and a large number of civilians, moved 20 miles upstream, and tried to cross the river under the cover of the cavalry who had crossed the river.

    Zhang Tieniu rushed over to intercept, but if he wanted to occupy the river bank position, he had to drive the opponent's cavalry away first.

    6500 regular soldiers and 1200 dragoons confronted 6000 enemy cavalry by the river.

    The main battlefield is still filling the river, and the pontoon bridge is still being built further downstream.  But in fact, Li Dingguo had already secretly led 10,000 elites to go around the upper reaches and break through with all his strength, leaving an empty camp on the other side of the river in the main battlefield.

    A few days ago, when the cavalry failed to smuggle across the country, they mobilized too many troops of the Datong Army through repeated trials and wanderings.  Several river courses for filling the river and building pontoon bridges are also restraining and mobilizing the troops of the Datong Army, and now they have finally deceived the main force of the Datong Army.

    On the other side of the river, the sentry cavalry of the Datong Army sent from Gushi County were suddenly driven away by a large number of cavalry from Li Dingguo.

    Although the sentry cavalry of the Datong Army didn't know what the situation was, they already realized that something was wrong. They fled a few miles upstream, and quickly crossed the river in a small boat to light the beacon to report.

    Seeing the beacon fire, Fei Ruhe immediately led his troops to support, and handed over the originally planned main battlefield to Huang Shun for defense

    Lu Xiangguan and Chen Tangong each led 600 dragoons and fired guns at Ma Silang's cavalry on the periphery.

    One after another, more than two hundred of Ma Silang's cavalry were shot down.  But Ma Siliang did not dare to retreat, so he had to cover the troops crossing the river and fight back.sp; 1,200 dragoons, and finally turned into cavalry for real. They kept chasing and slashing with their waist knives, and they chased and killed more than 8,000 enemy troops.

    After Zhang Tieniu's main force regrouped, he immediately stood in formation on the river bank.

    The firecrackers stood by the river, aiming at the pontoon bridge and shooting from a long distance.  Melee soldiers protect the perimeter to prevent enemy cavalry from charging.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Due to the long shooting distance, not many enemy troops on the pontoon bridge were hit.

    But their friendly infantry who had already crossed the river broke up, and they were still in a state of half-crossing. After being shot, they ran back along the pontoon bridge in fright.

    The pontoon bridge was narrow and swaying, and a large number of enemy troops fell into the river amidst confusion and pushing.

    There are several pontoon bridges in the distance. Although they were not shot, they ran back in fright, and a large number of soldiers were also squeezed into the river.

    There are a lot of landlubbers in the north, and the number of drowned enemy troops far exceeds those killed by the Datong army.

    At this time Li Dingguo finally came with 10,000 elites, and Fei Ruhe's reinforcements were still a mile away.

    However, what Fei Ruhe saw was a good show, while Li Dingguo witnessed a tragedy.

    In fact, as long as Ainengqi's river-crossing troops can persist on the bank for another half an hour, they will be able to protect the entire army from crossing the river, and Li Dingguo's elite reinforcements will also be able to cross the river.

    But he only lasted ten minutes!

    Ainengqi was shot in the arm and was caught by Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry.  After he became a prisoner, he still felt confused. Why did his tens of thousands of troops charge and collapse?

    In this battle of crossing the river, Li Dingguo lost more than 18,000 infantry.

    Li Dingguo calculated everything, divided his troops to fill rivers, build bridges, let cavalry march back and forth to smuggle across, successfully mobilized the troops of Fei Ruhe, Zhang Tieniu, and Huang Shun, and made the three of them dizzy.  In the end, he succeeded in finding an opportunity to cross the river, but he was still hit by half-crossing.

    It's not that there is a problem with the command. Li Dingguo's command ability can beat Fei Ruhe and other generals of the Datong Army.

    Tactical crushing, army quality crushing!

    Begging for a monthly ticket shamelessly, fell out of the top ten.

    ?

 Text 379【Fraud and Surrender】

    The head coach.

    A broken soldier who came back from swimming on the other side was being questioned by Li Dingguo: "How did General Ai lose?"

    "I don't know." Su Bing replied.

    "Don't know?" Li Dingguo didn't understand.

    Rout Bing explained: "At that time, I could see clearly that the enemy army was divided into three parts, and only the firecrackers were left in the front. General Ai told us to charge forward, so I rushed forward. I didn't know what was going on, and rushed forward.  Let’s fire the guns from the opposite side, and then the ones rushing to the front will be defeated. The enemy’s cavalry can also fire their guns, they are very close, and after a burst of gunfire, we will all be defeated.”

    Li Dingguo knew how elite his soldiers were, and it was impossible for him to collapse after being shot.  He thought carefully and asked, "How close is the opposite side to fire the gun? Is it thirty paces?"

    The last time Sun Kewang suffered a disadvantage, the Datong Army fired the gun at thirty paces.

    Ke Bing shook his head and said, "It's definitely not as far as thirty paces, maybe it's only twenty paces."

    "Twenty steps" Li Dingguo couldn't believe it.

    The last time the two sides clashed, the Datong Army's 30-step firearm had already made it difficult for Sun Kewang to parry.

    In just one year, the Datong Army has evolved again, can it be pulled closer to twenty steps before firing the gun?

    Li Dingguo couldn't understand this, his soldiers were already the best in the world.  Let these soldiers hold firecrackers and fire them at a distance of twenty steps without the protection of melee soldiers. I am afraid that if the enemy rushes within thirty steps, all the firecrackers will be scared and flee.

    Forty steps, thirty steps, and twenty steps are nothing more than the difference between 60 meters, 45 meters, and 30 meters.

    It seems that the gap is not big, but Li Dingguo knows very well how high the hit rate of the firecracker after shortening the distance is.

    After this battle, Li Dingguo still had more than 60,000 infantry, thousands of cavalry, and thousands of cavalry crossing the river, and the rest were all peasants.

    Moreover, Lieutenant General Ainengqi was captured, and the morale of the entire army plummeted.

    how to spell?

    Continue to confront, continue to fill in the river, continue to build floating bridges.

    During the confrontation between the two sides, many small boats suddenly rowed across the river.

    On every boat, there were captured soldiers who shouted with iron horns: "Brothers, surrender quickly, we have already surrendered. The Datong Army does not kill prisoners, and treats them very well. They can eat three dry meals a day."  Yes, see the meat once every two days. Don’t fight for Zhang Xianzhong anymore, vote for His Highness the King of Wu, everyone can share the fields, and the King of Wu will return the seeds and cattle. If you vote for the King of Wu, women and children will be hot every day!”

    The continuous voices of persuasion made the people who filled the river and built the bridge stop and look around, showing yearning for the content of the shouting.

    Those soldiers who were closer to the river were also quite moved, but they suspected that it was a lie.

    "Fire blunderbuss, shoot at the people on board!" Li Dingguo was afraid of shaking the morale of the army, so he quickly called in the only remaining blunderbuss soldiers.

    The sentinels of the Datong Army on the shore saw clearly through the binoculars, and hurriedly blew the horn to let the persuaders return by boat.

    Anyway, in the next few days, Fei Ruhe sent someone to row a boat to persuade him to surrender as soon as he saw the gap.

    It's a pity that Ma Siliang of Li Dingguo successfully crossed the river with thousands of cavalry, and has been running behind the Datong army.  These guys had no food, and they all relied on plundering in the countryside, which caused great harm to the farmers in Huoqiu County.

    Lu Xiangguan and Chen Tangong led the dragoons and kept entangled with the enemy cavalry, but they couldn't catch them at all.

    With the passage of time, the river channel was filled to only about ten meters, and it was difficult to continue the earthwork work.

    The artillery set up and blasted fiercely, and after smashing the shield car, let the firecrackers shoot a salvo.

    Even before the firecrackers fired a volley, the civilian husband was defeated by the artillery.

    Li Dingguo also has artillery, which shoots at each other every day.

    The Datong Army has three regular divisions and 75 artillery pieces, while Li Dingguo has only 30 artillery pieces.  The quality is also different, the Datong Army's artillery hits farther and is more accurate.

    After a few days of shooting, Li Dingguo's artillery was destroyed 6 times. He was so frightened that he quickly withdrew the artillery, and immediately changed the artillery position after one round.

    "Great victory, great victory for our army!"

    The messenger came galloping on horseback: "Wu Wang personally led the army to wipe out Zhang Xianzhong's infantry, and Zhang thief led the remnant soldiers to flee into the mountains!"

    "Wow!"

    "Long live King Wu!"

    "Long live Mr. Zhao!"

    "we won!"

    The Datong Army began to shout excitedly, more and more people got the news, and tens of thousands of civilians were even more jubilant.

    The change on the other side quickly attracted Li Dingguo's attention. He was about to send someone to investigate the situation, but Fei Ruhe had already sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender.

    The mission officer Yang Jizong went by boat, and Li Dingguo told the soldiers not to attack.

    theThe more Jin Tongwu let go of his guard.

    Jin Tongwu went down to greet him personally, smiled and cupped his hands and said, "General Bai"

    "Do it!"

    Huang Yao rushed over, knocked down the unsuspecting Jin Tongwu, and pressed the knife on the opponent's throat.

    Bai Wenxuan led his troops to cut down Jin Tongwu's entourage, and shouted: "Zhang Xianzhong is dead, follow me and surrender to King Wu!"

    Behind Li Dingguo, soldiers rushed towards him in a boat.

    "What's going on?" Li Dingguo asked.

    The soldier panicked and said: "General BaiBai Wenxuan has defected to the enemy and led his troops to open Zhenyang County in a fraudulent manner. Our army's retreat has been blocked!"

    Li Dingguo stood there dumbfounded.

    After a long time, Li Dingguo came back to his senses, and his brain began to work rapidly.

    Bai Wenxuan surrendered to Zhao Han, which shows that Huangzhou Mansion and De'an Mansion have been killed by the Datong Army.

    The troops selected by Bai Wen left the Dabie Mountains from Pingjing Pass, crossed the Huai River and went straight to Zhenyang County.  According to the estimated time based on the distance, Bai Wenxuan had surrendered at least seven or eight days ago.

    ? According to the time of the victory on the other side of the river, it shows that it only took about half a month for the Datong Army to kill Huangzhou Mansion and De'an Mansion.

    Zhang Xianzhong was really defeated, otherwise how could the Datong army attack the city so smoothly along the way?

    At this moment, the guarding troops (farmers and soldiers) in Xinyang, Luoshan, Guangshan and other places are estimated to have assembled and surrounded them.  And Li Dingguo's escape route was blocked by Bai Wenxuan, and the encirclement and annihilation battle would follow!

    Can no longer fight, must find a way to break through.

    But his cousin, Ma Siliang, is still on the other side with thousands of cavalry, so he has to get the cavalry back first.

    Li Dingguo sent people to smuggle in to pass the order, and just after sending them out, they rowed over from the other side.

    This time it was Ainengqi who came with only one arm left.

    "Why is your left arm gone?" Li Dingguo asked with concern.

    Ainengqi's face was pale, and he said with a wry smile: "I was shot by the fire, so I had to saw it off. The medical officers of the Datong Army are very skilled."

    Li Dingguo asked again: "Are you also here to persuade you to surrender?"

    Ai Nengqi sighed: "I am a useless person, it doesn't matter whether I surrender or not, and there is no need to persuade you to surrender. However, Zhao Han sent an order that if you surrender with your troops, you can save your father (Zhang Xianzhong)'s life from now on."

    "How dare he spare his father's life?" Li Dingguo sneered.

    Ainengqi explained: "What Zhao Han meant was to exile his father to Dongfan (Taiwan) to fight against the barbarians on the island and help the Dongfan Han people to open up the land."

    Li Dingguo didn't even know that Taiwan Island existed, so he asked, "Where is Dongfan?"

    Ai Nengqi shook his head: "I don't know, I heard it's similar to Qiongzhou."

    "That's exile on the border." Li Dingguo sighed.

    With a serious expression on his face, Ai Nengqi said seriously: "It is not easy to save one's life. Zhao Han's soldiers are invincible at all. I saw with my own eyes that day that two or three thousand firecrackers without friendly troops were killed by tens of thousands of soldiers.  The man rushed to twenty paces before firing the gun. Brother, can you imagine that kind of scene? Three rows of guns rang out, and the soldiers under my command were shot through in person. In the area that was shot, only a thousand people were still standing, and the rest were all standing still.  Fall to the ground!"

    Li Dingguo said: "Their cavalry is useless."

    Ai Nengqi said: "Zhao Han occupies several provinces, how can there be no cavalry all the time? Zhao Han is not a Ming government, and his father only has a few thousand horses left to enter the mountain. Even if he can go out of the mountain again, where else can he go? Come down and save your life."  That's fine too."

    Li Dingguo was silent for a long time, and finally said: "The way of retreat has been cut off, and the next step is to be surrounded from all sides. Forget it, it doesn't matter if I die, don't bring tens of thousands of soldiers to die together. Surrender!"

    (Ask for a monthly pass.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 380 [Zhang Xianzhong in exile in Taiwan] (addition for Penguin boss)

    Has Li Dingguo surrendered?

    This was a bit beyond Zhao Han's expectation. Although he ordered to surrender, he didn't hold much expectation.

    If Li Dingguo does not surrender, he can lead his troops to flee to the hinterland of Henan, and go to accompany Luo Rucai who is entrenched there.  If he dares to stay, he will be surrounded by five regular divisions, and a large number of peasants and soldiers will also participate.

    It doesn't matter if you surrender, tens of thousands of horses!

    There are thousands of good horses equipped by the cavalry, and thousands of bad horses equipped by the cavalry-although those good horses are not much better than the horses in Jeju Island.

    After Li Dingguo surrendered, Huang Yao took over the entire Runing Mansion.

    The Datong Army occupied half of the Runing Mansion before, but now they swallowed it all up, adding to Zhao Han's burden.  Even Luo Rucai didn't like this dilapidated place, and even if they immigrated there, the drought continued and they couldn't grow any food.

    In the first three years, all taxes must be exempted, and in the next few years, taxes must be halved, so as to slowly restore vitality.

    Nanyang Prefecture is not far behind, but the drought is less severe and the population is larger.

    Both Runing Mansion and Nanyang Mansion belong to the territory of Henan Province, and Zhao Han occupied it purely for military purposes.

    Zhang Xianzhong's main force is gone. Although there are defenders in Hubei, most of the cities choose to surrender.  A small number of cities chose to resist, and some defenders fled and became bandits. The next step is to slowly attack the city and suppress the bandits.

    Also, encircle and suppress Zhang Xianzhong in the Dabie Mountains!

    Zhang Xianzhong's life was very difficult. When the Datong army occupied Yingshan and Luotian counties, his army rations were completely cut off, and he only had to rob the mountain people for food to survive.

    Many war horses also starved to death, but horse meat was often eaten.

    Li Dingguo rode into the mountain alone, and the Datong Army provided information, and it took him a month to meet Zhang Xianzhong.

    "Why are you here?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

    Li Dingguo sighed: "The army was defeated, Bai Wenxuan surrendered to the enemy, and the fraudulent city blocked the way back. The enemy army surrounded them on three sides, and the boy didn't want to lead his troops to flee Henan, so he ordered the whole army to surrender."

    "Bai Wen chose this bastard!" Zhang Xianzhong gritted his teeth.

    Li Dingguo said: "Father also surrender, the King of Wu promised not to kill them all."

    Sun Kewang said: "Do you believe his nonsense?"

    Li Dingguo said: "Wu Wang can still be trusted."

    Zhang Xianzhong told Sun Kewang to shut up, and asked, "How does he want to deal with us old thieves?"

    Li Dingguo said: "Does father know about Dongfan?"

    "I've never heard of it." Zhang Xianzhong said.

    Li Dingguo said: "Dongfan is a big island with a territory larger than ordinary mansions. It is not far from Qiongzhou Island. There are Han people on the island, and there are also many raw people. What King Wu means is that we old thieves all go to the island.  Snatch the land from Shengpan."

    Zhang Xianzhong was furious: "I have been in the Central Plains for more than ten years, but I was asked to deal with savages!"

    Sun Kewang laughed: "I now believe what Zhao Han said."

    Li Dingguo said again: "The king of Wu asked the child to bring his father a message and went to Dongfan Island. As long as the land was snatched from Shengfan, it will belong to us. Regardless of paddy fields and dry land, each person can occupy up to 20 mu.  Each household can have up to ten people. In this way, each household can have 200 mu of land, which is enough to be a landlord on the island.”

    "Is two hundred acres considered a landlord?" Zhang Xianzhong said disdainfully.

    Li Dingguo continued: "After each person occupies 20 acres, they can continue to grab land from Shengfan. Regardless of whether the land is good or bad, grab ten acres of land and hand it over to the government for seven acres, and the remaining three acres are ours. In this way,  Each person can have 50 mu of land. More than 50 mu, you can continue to occupy land. For every ten mu of land you grab, you can get two mu. If it exceeds 100 mu of land, you can get one for every ten mu you grab.  Mu, and there is no upper limit."

    Zhang Xianzhong was angry and funny: "This is using us like mules."

    Lao Hui suddenly said: "In fact, this is not bad. One hundred mu per person, ten people in each family, this is a thousand mu of land. Have more children, divide the household registration, and continue to rob. Twenty years later, who  If there are no children and grandchildren, who is not a big landlord?"

    As soon as this remark came out, the old thieves looked at each other in blank dismay.

    Although he cannot be distinguished in front of others, it seems to be a good day to be a big landlord on the island and have many children and grandchildren.

    Li Dingguo said: "If the father is willing to surrender, the king of Wu promises to return his wives and concubines. But he can only take away one wife and one concubine, and the other concubines must stay and remarry others."

    After Zhang Xianzhong settled down in Hubei, he already had offspring, including one son and two daughters.

    However, wives, concubines and heirs do not matter to Zhang Xianzhong.

    Historically, Zhang Xianzhong decided to go out of Sichuan to fight against the Qing Dynasty. When he left Chengdu, he killed all his wives and concubines, and killed his only son.bsp;After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the plague in the north subsided, and the drought in the north also eased.  On the contrary, the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty continued the drought, and the areas with severe drought were all transferred to the south.

    Hanyang Wharf.

    Zhang Xianzhong took one wife, one concubine, one son and two daughters, and twenty-nine old thieves with their families, and became the first batch of rogues to go south by boat.

    He looked back at the city, feeling a little lost, and soon hardened his heart.

    Surrender is forced to surrender, because all the troops want to surrender.  According to Zhang Xianzhong's own thinking, he wants to go out of the mountain and continue killing to his heart's content.

    Since he is not dead now, let's go to Dongfan Island, and he will definitely be able to make a comeback!

    He didn't dare to rebel, because it would be useless, but he thought he could definitely do it after earning thousands of acres of land.

    Zhao Han didn't care about this, the more land property Zhang Xianzhong had, the more property the government had.  What's more, Zhang Xianzhong is also divided into household registrations, and each household registration book can have up to ten people.  After the division of households, who will listen to him in the next generation?

    Li Dingguo stayed in Runing Mansion and joined the newly formed cavalry team. His position was the cavalry post of the Datong Army, commanding a hundred cavalry.

    The Datong Army still has only six divisions, but each division has been expanded to 10,000 people, of which 2,500 are dragoons.

    In addition, a new independent cavalry regiment was formed, with a number of 5,000, all of whom were armored cavalry, and Lu Xiangsheng served as the commander.

    The war horses mainly came from Zhang Xianzhong's surrender troops, which was also one of the main reasons why Zhao Han persuaded him to surrender.  The rest were collected by the people one after another, and some of the horses came from Jeju Island.

    At this moment, the Qing army had already entered the customs, drove Li Zicheng to Shaanxi, and quickly sent troops south to Shandong.

    Then, Huang Taiji contracted the plague

 Text 381 [Country title, year title, internal and external systems]

    Nanjing.

    In front of Zhao Han was a stack of hand-copied manuscripts of the "Dictionary of Great Harmony".

    Qian Qianyi cupped his hands and said: ""Datong Dictionary" has a total of nearly 10,000 characters, more than 200 more than "Shuowen Jiezi"."

    "I read it last night, and the entries of each word are a bit cumbersome, so I can delete or modify it a little bit more." Zhao Han didn't bother with the "Datong Dictionary" anymore, and said instead, "I invite all the scholars here today, and there are more  Many officials want to assign the name of the country."

    "Since Your Highness is called the King of Wu, the title of the country can be 'Da Wu'." Qian Qianyi said.

    Xu Ying, who has been engaged in intelligence work for a long time, due to the chaos in the north and the severe epidemic in Shandong, it is difficult to continue to deepen the intelligence work.

    He was temporarily in Nanjing to collect information from various places. At this moment, he said: "Regardless of the north and the south, the word Datong has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Why not set the name of the country as 'Datong'?"

    Li Banghua said: "Your Highness is from Yanzhao, and the country name can also be 'Dayan'."

    Dozens of people were gathered in the room, fighting back and forth, and came up with a number of national titles, and Zhao Han had to decide which one to choose.

    Zhao Han was also very entangled, and asked, "How about the country's title 'Zhonghua'?"

    Zhang Pu clasped his fists and said: "China is also China. Throughout the ages, the dynasties have been upright, which one is not China, which one is not China? Zhonghua, China, Huaxia, Kyushu, Tianxia, ??all words are synonymous and cannot be used as country names. Regardless of the new dynasty  What is the name, all can be called Huaxia China, and all can be called Kyushu Zhonghua, why bother to name the country 'Zhonghua'?"

    "This statement is reasonable." Huang Zongxi supported Zhang Cai's statement.

    Zhu Yuanzhang's "Fengtian Calls for the Northern Expedition of the Yuan Dynasty" contains a large number of China and China, and even the words "expel the Hulu and restore China".

    Unless you look at the world, "Zhonghua" is really not suitable as a country name.

    Zhao Han thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "Let's vote by secret ballot."

    People who have been officials in the Ming court are no strangers to this stuff, and the court often votes by secret ballot.

    Especially when selecting cabinet ministers, ministers, and governors, court selection is a routine process.  If the result cannot be obtained on the spot, the ministers will nominate the main election and the supporting election, usually with a list of two or three candidates.

    The next step is to hold an enlarged meeting, let the ministers vote by secret ballot, and write their own reasons for election.

    However, the decision-making power rests with the emperor, and the voting results are only for reference.

    Moreover, the emperor was afraid of forming a faction among his officials, so he often chose the one with fewer votes.  Sometimes, the list of candidates cannot satisfy the emperor, and the ministers will be asked to nominate candidates again.

    When the imperial power and the prime minister repeatedly seesaw, candidates have to be pushed several times.

    If the emperor bypasses the ministers and directly appoints someone, or directly gives a candidate.  This is a violation of the rules, which proves that the relationship between the emperor and his ministers is very bad.

    Take Chongzhen as an example. He only followed the rules for the first two or three years, but he kept breaking the rules for the rest of the time.

    Zhao Han asked people to distribute official documents, and after about a quarter of an hour, all the votes were handed in.

    "Call the votes." Zhao Han said.

    Zhang Dai was in charge of checking the votes, Zheng Sen was in charge of counting the votes, and Chen Zisheng was in charge of singing: "Datong 28 votes, Dawu 21 votes, Dayan 15 votes, Dagan 11 votes, Yamato 8 votes"

    No one got more than half of the votes.

    Zhao Han observed the handwriting carefully, and immediately laughed.

    ?Because they are all written in Taige script, the handwriting of the scholars cannot be read. This is really a secret ballot.

    "Forget it, let's use 'Datong' as the country name." Zhao Han could guess that people like Xu Ying, Chen Maosheng, Xiao Huan, and Zuo Xiaoliang should all vote for "Datong".

    As for the voters of "Great Wu", most of them are scholars from Jiangnan.

    ?Thanks to Kublai Khan's start, the national titles all carry the word "Da", Dayuan, Daming, Daqing, Dashun, Zhao Han's national title "Datong" seems to be very gregarious.

    After Zhao Han made a decision, Qian Qianyi immediately flattered him: "The great Qian Yuan, the beginning of all things, is the unification of the sky. This is called the Great Yuan; from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were six people at one time, and the other was riding six dragons to control the sky. This is called the Great Ming Dynasty."  ;Protecting Dahe, Nai Lizhen. The first common thing, Wan Guo Xianning. Datong is Dahe, the country name is "Datong", which coincides with the change of the main road. In the end, the Ming Dynasty thought it was the country. Your Highness is wise!"

    Zhao Hanquan pretended not to hear the flattery, and continued: "Let's fix the year again."

    "Since the name of the country is Datong, the name of the year should be Xiaokang!" Zhang Cai said immediately.

    Liu Rushi agreed with a smile: "That's good."

    Li Banghua and Pang Chunlai also said: "The year name should be Xiaokang."

    Xu Ying, Chen Maosheng, Xiao Huan, Zuo Xiaoliang and others also said together: "A well-off life is excellent!"sp; Chen Maosheng asked suddenly: "The inner court uses female officials, can these female officials marry?"

    Zhao Han explained: "If a female official wants to get married, she can choose to retire. Ordinary court ladies enter the palace at the age of 16 to 18. If they are 25 years old and have no female official position, they must be forced to retire and leave the palace, and return to the people to choose a husband to marry  .”

    "This is a benevolent government!" Li Banghua clapped his hands in praise.

    Zhao Han said again: "To serve as a court lady, you must take an exam, and it is all voluntary. The inner court cannot forcibly recruit court ladies from the people, and the selection of empresses and concubines also cannot be forcibly recruited. I will write these things into the constitution, including that the inner court must not interfere in politics."

    Xu Ying asked: "Should the harem system also be changed?"

    Zhao Han said: "Following the old system of the Ming Dynasty, there are two levels of concubines under the empress. However, the imperial concubine and the imperial concubine are abolished, and this concubine title can no longer be established."

    Zhao Han did not limit the number of concubines, because it is useless to limit.

    In the future, which descendant will be the emperor and how many women he wants is not a matter of one sentence?  Forcibly specifying the amount will lead to problems, such as abolishing a certain concubine to make room for a woman he likes.

    Moreover, after limiting the number of concubines, the battle in the harem will be intensified, fighting for those seats.

    Zhao Han only made a rough idea, leaving the rest of the specific content, such as setting the inner court organization, the position of female officials, etc., to the Ministry of Rites.

    Zhao Han said: "The clan and relatives, I don't support idlers. Even the prince, after he grows up, he has to go to the palace to support himself. He can join the army or be an official, but he has to take an exam.  Civil and military positions can only reach the third rank at the highest level, and are not allowed to govern a province. Clan relatives other than the fifth rank can only achieve the second rank at the highest level, and are also not allowed to govern a province. For military positions, the fourth rank and above are not allowed  As the real command. Except, of course, the Navy."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 382【Royal Education and Knighthood Issues】

    There will be no problems with the system of sending out palace ladies, at least in the Qing Dynasty.

    In the 16th year of Kangxi, it was stipulated that palace ladies who were over 30 years old were sent out.  In the first year of Yongzheng, it was stipulated that all court ladies were ordered to leave the palace when they were twenty-five years old.

    Leaking the secrets of the palace?

    Are you one of those eunuchs and maids who never leave the palace?  Especially those big eunuchs, not only often go out of the palace, but also privately build luxury houses in Beijing, and even marry wives to live.

    Even if a woman who came out of the imperial palace was too old, the folks would rush to marry her.

    Take the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty as an example. Among the 5,000 people who auditioned for the Crown Princess, 300 were promoted to the palace.  When the queen mother and empress presided over the semi-finals in person, there were only 50 left, and one main concubine and two side concubines were selected from them.

    ?The rest of the unselected women were all sent back to their hometowns, and the matchmaker immediately broke the threshold.

    Especially those who advanced to the top 50 were simply robbed by the people!

    There was once a pair of sisters who advanced to the top three at the same time.  In order to prevent gang formation, one of them was sent back to his hometown.  This woman thinks very highly of herself, she thinks she is a crown princess, and she refuses to agree to anyone who proposes marriage, and in the end she dies alone.

    "General Fei is also a relative." Xu Ying reminded.

    Zhao Han explained: "The founding minister should not be considered as a foreign relative. How much he can be an official depends on how much merit he can make."

    Li Banghua asked: "Does the James Mansion need to be rebuilt?"

    Zhan Shifu was the educational institution of the prince of the Ming Dynasty. It was basically abandoned in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and it became a springboard for the promotion of the princes of the Imperial Academy.

    Li Banghua was asking about the prince's education.

    Zhao Han said: "In the establishment of a school in the imperial city, the prince also has to go to elementary school and middle school. Choose children of the right age who are innocent, and go to elementary school with the princes. When the prince goes to middle school, he will choose three students with excellent grades from all over the country.  primary school graduates, and go to middle school with the princes."

    "Not the Forbidden City?" Li Banghua repeatedly confirmed.

    "It's not the Forbidden City, it's the Imperial City." Zhao Han affirmed.

    The imperial city is the office of the central government. The government offices of the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty and the governors of the fifth army are all located in the imperial city.

    As for the Forbidden City, it was the place where the emperor lived, had leisure and worked, and the cabinet agencies were also located in the Forbidden City.

    Pang Chunlai smiled and said, "The prince will accompany you."

    Zhao Han said solemnly: "The school-age children who are selected to study in the imperial city will be occupied by the children and grandchildren of the powerful in time. I do not prohibit it, and I will never prohibit it. But there are only forty children in each grade. And every year  The last ten in the exam must all be eliminated, and students of that grade must be re-selected to supplement."

    This is to encourage children to study and not to play with the prince.

    Li Banghua asked again: "What about middle school?"

    Zhao Han said: "In the future, the primary school graduation examinations in all counties will take the first place in the county, and they will be sent to the provincial examination.  , sent to Huangcheng to go to middle school with the prince. Only the top ten graduates of Huangcheng primary school can stay to accompany the prince to go to middle school, and the rest of the students will be eliminated."

    Chen Maosheng asked: "If there is no prince, does the Imperial City School need to be temporarily closed?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Of course it will not be closed, everything will be as usual. Even if there is a prince, but the prince is in the second grade, first grade and third grade of elementary school, there must be schoolchildren studying, and those who are eliminated will follow the rules."

    Li Banghua and Pang Chunlai looked at each other, and both thought it was very interesting to do this.

    Huangcheng School will definitely be the best school in the world in the future, and the students will also be the best students in the world!

    Zhao Han continued: "The name of this school is Jinling Academy. The dean of the academy can only be an official to the right minister. Every year in the academy's elimination exam, the examiners are all six ministers, and the invigilators are all the capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.  Censor."

    Good guy!

    With such a luxurious lineup, unless the government is completely corrupted, there is no way to take advantage of it.

    The rich and powerful in the Manchu Dynasty can at most send their children and grandchildren to primary school, and they may not be able to finish primary school.

    When the prince went to middle school, his classmates were all super academics from all over the country.  Even if the prince himself is mentally handicapped, he will be influenced by the top student to some extent, and he will know some of the situation in various provinces.

    Xu Ying asked: "Can students who graduate from Jinling Academy directly become officials?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "No, you can take the test as you want."

    Having said that, there must be invisible benefits.

    With the background of Jinling Academy, it is estimated that officials will rise faster.  As long as those academic masters are officials, they will already be labeled as princes, and most of them will be regarded as members of the Eastern Palace team.

    &nbThe soil for the palace and foreign relatives to interfere in politics.  Even if Zhao Han dies suddenly one day, what should be done or what should be done, Wen Chen will definitely suppress Fei Ruhe.

    Even the prince's rebellion could not succeed, Zhu Di, Zhu Yunwen's uncle and nephew It was an accident.

    As long as Zhu Yunwen's mind is normal, Zhu Di can't be the emperor. Who would have thought that the double kings, four 2, four a, and four k can still lose?

    Of course, Fei's big family also needs to be dealt with.

    It is time for Fei Yinghuan to retire. After all, it is good for people in their fifties to go home early and enjoy their old age.

    When Fei Rumei enters the palace as a concubine, Zhao Han will briefly mention it. I believe Fei Yinghuan can understand that when the time comes, he can retire with honor as a Marquis.

    As for the title, Zhao Han already has a plan.

    Restore the ancient fifth-class nobility, and add a king nobility, that is: king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, male.

    Moreover, there are two types of hereditary and decreasing.

    It goes without saying that hereditary is not replaced.

    ? Decrease the title of title, decreasing by one level every three generations, until it reaches the baron.

    No matter what kind of title, taxes must be paid according to the law, which is equivalent to an honorary title, and corresponding salaries can be received according to the rank.  Moreover, the salary is not particularly high, and it is absolutely impossible to exceed a first-rank official.

    Although Zhao Han said that he would not raise his descendants as pigs, he was sure of becoming a king, and he belonged to a hereditary prince.

    However, only the son is taken care of, not the grandson.

    There will no longer be any county kings, auxiliary country generals, etc. No matter how many descendants are produced, those descendants must be self-reliant.

    Every emperor can give birth to new princes, and the number of princes will increase.  Therefore, every prince lineage, after three generations, begins to be deposed. The princes cannot be complacent, and at the same time they are controlling the number of princes.

    These contents will be written into the constitution.

 Text 383【Examination for Female Officers】

    Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

    Fei Yinghuan looked at Nanxiong Hou Dayin in front of him, and then at the betrothal gift from the yard. How could he know what Zhao Han was thinking?

    Accept his second daughter, Fei Rumei, as his concubine, and let him resign to be a leisurely prince.

    Mrs. Lou sighed: "That's good too. You won't have too much power in the Fei family, and you can enjoy an official career in Hangzhou. If you want to go back to Qianshan Mountain, it can be regarded as returning home."

    "Your Majesty, let me be your Master." Fei Yinghuan caressed the big seal, feeling a little disappointed.

    He has already become a provincial and departmental official, and now it is the period of territorial expansion, and he will be in charge of a province in less than two or three years.

    Fei Yinghuan is indeed heartless, and he also likes to recite poems and compose Fu, but as a traditional scholar, who would not want to govern the country and the world?  He can't bear power!

    Lou said: "With one empress and one concubine in the palace, and two generals in the army, the Fei family can no longer be in the limelight. What's more, Fei Chun, Fei Yu, and Fei Yuanjian can also be regarded as members of the Fei family."

    "Why don't I know these truths?"

    Fei Yinghuan slowly put away the seal of the Marquis, as if he had become a rambler again, and said with a smile: "After a few days, I will go to the mountains and rivers every day. Take the fragrance of ink with you. When you come to Hangzhou, there are many famous places.  Haven't seen it yet."

    Not only the Fei family is prominent, but the Li family is also very powerful.

    Li Banghua, Li Rixuan uncle and nephew, a minister and a chief envoy.  There are also many clan members who are officials, two magistrates, one magistrate of the state, four magistrates of the county, and one prefectural judge.

    As long as they don't commit crimes, Zhao Han doesn't bother to move, otherwise it will chill the hearts of the elders.

    "Mother, I really want to marry Brother Han." Fei Rumei ran over quietly.

    Lou asked with a smile, "Don't you want to?"

    Fei Rumei blushed and said, "I didn't say anything, it's just a little"

    Lou sighed: "In the past few years, I have told you about many people. There is no one you like. Who doesn't know what's going on?"

    Fei Rumei muttered in a low voice: "Sister Fang isn't married yet, so I'm not in a hurry."

    Zhao Zhenfang is a wild girl, at least in the eyes of outsiders.

    Nineteen years old and still not married, hang out with men all day long.  Not only did she join the School of Mathematics by herself, but she often went to the School of Physics to make messy things

    Nanjing.

    By the side of Mochou Lake, Mochou Lake Garden.

    This was originally one of the gardens of Duke Wei’s family, and now it serves as the office of the School of Mathematics.

    Xiao Shixuan is already married and has a daughter.  This guy studied mathematics all day long, and later became obsessed with astronomy and physics. He didn't have the heart to talk about love at all. He just arranged a marriage at home and got married.

    Zhao Zhenfang was a little disappointed about this, but it was just a little disappointment. The spare tire Zheng Sen was always attentive.

    "Brother Xiao, you are going to be promoted." Zhao Zhenfang walked over with a smile.

    Xiao Shixuan was checking a formula, and raised his forehead: "What promotion?"

    Zhao Zhenfang said in a low voice: "I also overheard it. After my brother ascended the throne, the School of Mathematics will be reformed. The Qintian Institute will be established to govern the Planetarium, Geography, Mathematics, and Physics. The Imperial Academy will also be subdivided.  , under the jurisdiction of the Datong Hall, the History Hall, the Literature Hall, and the Classics Hall.”

    "This is a good thing, Your Highness is paying more and more attention to mathematics and physics!" Xiao Shixuan said happily.

    Hanlin Academy, Qintian Academy, two major academic institutions.

    Hanlin Academy is in charge of liberal arts, Qintian Academy is in charge of science, and the dean ranks second rank.  The directors of the various museums under his jurisdiction are ranked higher than the senior members of the third rank.

    Xiao Shixuan has the deepest qualifications. He is not only proficient in mathematics, but also astronomy and physics. He will definitely be the first dean of Qintian Academy!

    As for the Hanlin Academy, after the news came out, it has already begun to fight openly and secretly.

    Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu fought hardest.

    Zhao Han is happy to see the results, as long as it doesn't affect the work, let them fight slowly, so as not to bother him with troublesome moths.

    Before leaving Mochou Lake Garden, Zhao Zhenfang bumped into Zheng Sen head-on.

    "Sneaking out again?" Zhao Zhenfang asked with a smile.

    Zheng Sen sighed and said, "Oh, I'm here to say goodbye, and I want to go back to Fujian."

    Zhao Zhenfang asked, "When will you be back?"

    Zheng Sen shook his head: "Not sure."

    "Oh." Zhao Zhenfang was a little bit reluctant.

    Zheng Sen said: "If my father's business can be done, let my father send someone to propose marriage."

    Zhao Zhenfang blushed and said, "Who promised to marry you."

    Zheng Sen said: "Shangshu Zuo has a niece who is sixteen years old, virtuous and virtuous"

    & n??I don’t want to marry again in this life, but I will be a female official for Mr. Zhao in the palace until the day I’m too old to do it!  "

    "My sister is also a hard-working person." Li Xiangjun said with emotion.

    "What kind of life is hard? I don't think life is hard," You Julian laughed unexpectedly, "This time I can't pass the female officer exam, so I will go home and take the police exam. It seems that there are no female police officers under Mr. Zhao's rule."

    Seeing that the other party is cheerful and open-minded, Li Xiangjun also laughed, thinking that this sister is very interesting.

    You Julian asked: "What did my sister do before?"

    Li Xiangjun replied: "I was sold into a brothel by my relatives since I was a child. I escaped the day I left the court. Fortunately, I was rescued by a scholar in Datong. Later, I passed the official examination and became an official in Jiangning County. I am coming back to try my luck."

    You Julian sighed: "You are a miserable person, but you were sold by your relatives. Although my father is a butcher, I am not good-looking, but I have been loved by my father since I was a child. Don't worry, sister, if we are both admitted to the female officer,  I will definitely not teach you to be bullied by others!"

    "Then thank you, sister." Li Xiangjun liked this strong woman more and more.

    There are a lot of women taking the exam this year. There are hundreds of applicants in the Qinhuai River area.  If they didn't pass the exam, they would try to apply to be palace maids. Anyway, they only signed a five-year employment contract.

    Sixteen-year-old Kou Baimen got involved in it.

    She is now working as a musician, running performances with her parents, and has not followed her mother's old path to sell herself.  Moreover, she has been studying knowledge hard, and she is planning to take the test for reserve officials, which is just right for her to take the test for female officials this time.

    (Ask for a monthly pass.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 384 [Simplification of the inner court]

    The examination for female officials in the inner court draws on the rules of the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, but there must be some changes.

    The Ministry of Rites organizes the examination, the Metropolitan Procuratorate supervises the examination, and officials are selected by various ministries to judge the examination papers.

    ? In fact, there is no test content. First, Datong theory must be qualified, followed by mathematics, and finally the writing of various official documents.

    The top 200 were selected by the competition, and the bosses of each department personally presided over the interview——Zhao Han didn't let them participate, and the doctors of each department could handle it, but those ministers were really worried.

    Then it gets interesting.

    "This You Julian is very good, Kong Wu is powerful, and he has also been a missionary teacher, so he can be the seal of the Yuma Supervisor." Li Banghua stroked his beard and nodded in approval.

    Pang Chunlai said: "Jin Cui Ping is also very good. Before I became a missionary, I was a cook in the palace. Although I was at the bottom of the written test and only got 198, it is most suitable to be the supervisor of Shangshan.  "

    The two women who were favored by Li Banghua and Pang Chun were both big and round.  They obviously did it on purpose, for fear that the female officer would confuse the emperor!

    The use of female officials in the inner court is a pioneering work, and no one knows what it will turn out to be, so the leaders of all ministries must be cautious.

    Especially for the first time, the tone has to be set and become the unspoken rule in the future, that is: try to select people with mediocre appearance as possible, and the net worth must be clean.

    ?After repeated discussions, many ministers voted, and finally elected the official secretary and admiral of the inner court female officer.

    This position can be called internal minister or female minister.

    Still looks mediocre, I can only say that it is not ugly.  It is still from the background of a missionary, to ensure that its thoughts pass the test and its origin is reliable.

    This woman's name is Shi Weixian, the daughter of a village school teacher.

    First, she was betrothed to a scholar from the same village, but her fiancé died before she even got married.  Married again to Tongsheng from the neighboring county. After half a year of marriage, her husband died again.

    From then on, the name of Kefu was carried on his back, just when the Datong army came to kill him, Shi Weixian ran away from home and became a missionary.  Her qualifications are very profound, and she joined Zhao Han a month earlier than Li Banghua. She is now thirty-four years old, and she refuses to get married again no matter what.

    Although the written test was out of the top 100, it is most suitable to choose her as the inner picture.

    Of course there are women with more senior qualifications, such as Xiaohong and Xiaocui.

    But Xiaohong is now a prefect of the state, and her marriage and family are relatively happy.  Xiaocui has also been married for three years, so she quit her job directly and stays at home with her husband and children.

    Many female missionary officers pursue freedom and the value of life, and they do not want to be imprisoned as female officials in the inner court

    Li Xiangjun was a little disappointed. She got the first place in the written examination, but she only became the director of Yinshoujian.

    Moreover, compared with the Yinshoujian of the Ming Dynasty, the Yinshoujian of Zhao Han's inner court had more than half of its power cut.  It can also be in charge of the books in the imperial palace, the letters in the inner court, and the verification of the waist cards in and out of the inner court, etc.

    Kou Baimen was similar. He scored in the top ten in the written test and was assigned to an internal official prison whose power was cut by 90%.

    Gu Hengbo scored second in the written test, but was eliminated directly because she was a famous prostitute.

    Although Zhao Han abolished the distinction between good and bad, famous prostitutes were not prohibited from taking part in the examination for female officials in the inner court.  But the interviewers have steelyards in their hearts, and the courtesans come into contact with too many people, what kind of malicious intentions would there be if they sneaked into the palace?

    Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua and others have even been discussing that people from certain industries will not be allowed to be female officials in the inner court in the future.

    Although Chen Maosheng advocated the equality of the good and the low, he also clearly distinguished the pros and cons, so he acquiesced to their proposal.

    A few days later, they were arranged to enter a garden training business.

    Seeing Li Xiangjun, You Julian smiled and asked, "What kind of job does my sister do?"

    Li Xiangjun replied: "Director of Yinshou Supervisor."

    "This is really promising." You Julian praised.

    The chief officials of each prison in Zhao Han's inner court are the palm seal, palm book, and palm secretary.

    The director is already the third person in Yinshoujian. Li Xiangjun is young and has a bright future.

    Although points were deducted for her beauty, she got the first place in the written test and worked as an official in Jiangning County, all of which left the interviewers speechless.

    ? Li Xiangjun asked about the candidates for the seals of each supervisor, and You Julian introduced them in detail.

    ?The supervisors' palm prints are all female missionary officers, all of them are ordinary-looking women, and the average age is over thirty years old.

    After inquiring like this, Li Xiangjun instantly regained his mental balance.

    Not long after, Shi Weixian, the chief inspector of ceremonies, appeared and lectured: "I don't know much about the rules of the inner court, but I have been a missionary for many years. Everyone is a female official. You are not allowed to beat and scold your subordinates, and you are not allowed to beat and scold your subordinates."  Maid. Of course, if you do something wrong, you will be punished. If you should record a serious demerit, you will record a major demerit, and if you should report criticism, you will be punished.I just laughed.

    For Zhao Han, one concubine and two concubines are enough, but the Fei family sisters are all concubines, so one or two women must be selected as concubines.

    Whether it's balance or beating, this is no longer Zhao Han's chores.

    That being the case, of course one must choose a concubine who knows the basics.  Zhao Han thinks that Liu Rushi is good, he likes it very much, and he has a good personality, so it doesn't matter what his background is.

    However, Zhang Pu invited Qian Qianyi for the first time, and the two went to the brothel to play tea.

    Screening out the brothel girl, the two drank and chatted alone.

    Zhang Pu said with emotion: "In another month, the dynasty will change."

    "That's right," Qian Qianyi also sighed endlessly, "Looking back on decades, it's really like a dream. The struggle between the government and the opposition is really ridiculous, and Da Ming is really gone."

    Zhang Pu said: "At present, this one must be the British Lord Mingjun. But he often does things out of line, which is unpredictable, and it is not known whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Liu Xueshi is naturally talented and beautiful, but his background an ordinary emperor can't do it.  come out."

    Qian Qianyi laughed loudly: "An extraordinary person has his own extraordinary actions, which are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Who would have thought that instead of eunuchs, he would use female officials? The female officials will definitely cause a lot of trouble. It depends on the future monarchs and ministers."  How to make it perfect."

    "After two or three generations, I guess eunuchs will be used again." Zhang Pu couldn't help laughing.

    Qian Qianyi said: "Why do we need to worry about what will happen after two or three generations? Come, drink this cup to the full! ?

 Text Monthly ticket eighth, thank you all book friends

    This is the first time that Lao Wang competed for the monthly ticket list, and he successfully entered the top ten and successfully completed the set goal.

    Thanks to all book friends for their monthly tickets, and thanks for subscribing and rewarding.

    Especially Big Brother Penguin and Shangxian Qitian, as well as the leaders.

 Body 385 [Establishment of the Cabinet]

    In the quiet room.

    ? Xu Ying, Huang Zongxi, and Wang Tiao took the guest seats, while Zhao Han sat alone in the main seat.

    Huang Zongxi first said: "If Your Highness wants to restore the cabinet, should the Ten Caos be placed under the cabinet or should they be placed under the imperial power? The authority of the Ten Caos must be adjusted. If the Ten Caos are placed under the Cabinet, I am afraid that they should have the right to review, otherwise  It became the mouthpiece of the cabinet."

    Wang Tiaoding laughed and said: "If the Ten Caos have the power of review, it will go back to the system of three provinces and six ministries in the Tang Dynasty. The cabinet is the Zhongshu Province, the Ten Caos are the subordinate provinces, and the ministries are the Ministers. They are exactly the same, and the powers and responsibilities have not changed.  "

    Xu Ying said: "If the Ten Caos are separated, the Secretary Academy must be re-established, otherwise the emperor will become blind and let the civil and military officials decide."

    Huang Zongxi said: "If the secretariat is re-established, once it encounters a slack king, the secretariat will definitely evolve into a ceremonial supervisor controlled by civil servants. At that time, the cabinet will become a mouthpiece, and the secretariat will become a new cabinet. Great Ming Dynasty  The cabinet was originally the emperor's secretariat!"

    The three of them continued to argue, Zhao Han felt helpless.

    The imperial power and the power of the prime minister are so irreconcilable, and there has always been a relationship between one and the other.

    Zhao Han does not set up a cabinet now, the Ten Caos directly obey Zhao Han's orders, and the six ministries carry out the orders conveyed by the Ten Caos, which means that the imperial power and the prime minister's power are integrated, which is what Zhu Yuanzhang did back then.

    This state certainly cannot last long, requiring the emperor to work more than ten hours a day.  When encountering a lot of things, the emperor may work twelve hours a day.

    Zhao Han is exhausted now!

    And Zhao Han's descendants, who can work eight hours a day, can already be called diligent kings, and they must divide the power of the prime minister.

    The more the prime minister's power is distributed, the more opportunities the future emperor will have to neglect his administration.  And the cabinet that has won the prime minister will not be satisfied with the status quo, but will only demand more and more power.

    Just like the system of three provinces and six ministries in the Tang Dynasty, it was originally divided into three powers.  As a result, first Zhongshu and Menxia provinces took away the ministerial power of Shangshu province.  Then the two provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia merged, and were reunited into one by the three-point prime minister.

    The cabinet in the early Ming Dynasty was nothing more than a secretarial and advisory body, pulling the Imperial Academy to seize power together.

    When the cabinet successfully seized power, it kicked the Imperial Academy away, and the emperor could only use eunuchs to distribute the power.  When the cabinet was unable to fight the eunuchs, it even ran to get involved in the power of the ministry (executive power), and took over the six departments responsible for review, signing, refutation, and communication as dogs.

    Civil officials are unreliable, and eunuchs are also unreliable.

    Once the emperor reused eunuchs, the eunuchs immediately trembled and didn't want to do business at all, just making money crazily with power.  Because the eunuchs who were doing serious business did not end well, they must be blamed for the emperor!

    Whenever there is an emperor who reuses eunuchs, the civil servants will counterattack after the new emperor succeeds, and take the opportunity to make Xiangquan stronger.

    How to balance and restrict?

    There is no way to balance, no way to restrict!

    It is impossible for Zhao Han to form a parliament, and it is impossible for ordinary people to participate in the parliament.  Maybe it was possible at the beginning of the founding of the country, but after two or three generations, there are only interest groups left in the parliament.  For their own interests, they must disregard the interests of the country and the people.

    Zhao Han sighed and said: "I will stop arguing, try to do it first, and adjust slowly in the future. The emperor and the cabinet will manage the ten cao."

    ? Xu Ying, Wang Diaoding, and Huang Zongxi looked at each other in blank dismay. This is fun, it is the Tang Dynasty's Three Provinces and Six Departments System in disguise.

    The cabinet is responsible for making decisions on major issues, the Ten Caos are responsible for reviewing and issuing policies, and the ministries are responsible for implementing policies.

    In the Ming Dynasty, the chief inspector was fighting with the cabinet, and in Zhao Han, the cabinet was fighting with the Ten Caos.

    Again, there is no perfect system.

    What the hell will it look like in the future, let the future generations have a headache, and the monarchs and ministers of future generations will make adjustments themselves.

    Xu Ying suddenly said: "The future examinations for female officials should be in charge of the inner court itself."

    "It's natural," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Not only is the inner court in charge, but the women who apply for the exam must be middle school graduates from all over the country. After setting up a university, they must even be college graduates."

    In Zhao Han's vision, graduating from primary school, middle school, and university is similar to obtaining the corresponding imperial examination qualifications.

    A very strict public examination is organized every year. Those who pass the examination can become officials, and those who fail the examination will not be given preferential treatment by gentry.

    ?Women are not restricted from taking public examinations, but under the influence of traditional concepts, I am afraid that not many women can become officials, and even if they become officials, it will be difficult to get promoted normally.  Examination for female officials in the inner court is another way that Zhao Han left for them. After serving as an official in the inner court for a few years, they can resign and return to the common people, which can be regarded as a layer of gold in the imperial city.

    ??The allocation of funds is used as the emperor's internal funds. If the amount of internal funds is to be adjusted, the cabinet, ten Caos, and ten ministries must jointly discuss.  "

    Fei Chun asked: "Is the royal family's expenses purchased with domestic money, or is it provided by the people?"

    "The inner court spends money to buy it." Zhao Han said.

    The imperial expenses of the Ming Dynasty are three-in-one of self-manufacture, purchase and supply.

    Self-made means that the inner court opened its own factory to manufacture, and Huangzhuang farmed real estate grain, and the maids even spun cloth.

    Private supply is the customs duty of various places, directly collecting some real objects, such as wood, and sending some of them to the palace.  There is also taxation on specific objects, collected by eunuchs from all over the country, and handed over directly to the inner court.

    In addition to purchasing, it was a mess anyway.

    The more chaotic and complicated it is, the more eunuchs and officials can profit from it!

    Zhao Han's idea is very simple. The national treasury allocates funds to the inner court every year, and the inner court uses the money to buy things.  Although there will definitely be tricks during the purchasing process, it is still more transparent than eunuchs running around to mess around.

    Today, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, the total annual fiscal revenue of the seven provinces is more than 13 million taels of silver.

    This statistic is incomplete, because many farmers pay grain directly, and the total real taxes are estimated to exceed 16 million taels.

    Among them, industrial and commercial taxes and tariffs are growing rapidly and will definitely continue to increase in the future.

    ?Only the five major ports of Shanghai, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and Macau have an annual tariff income of more than 5 million taels.  The tariff increase in Shanghai is particularly fast, and it is very likely to double next year!

    In addition, after the reform of the salt law, the salt tax is also increasing.

    ? In the Lianghuai Salt Fields, the sun-dried salt method has been basically popularized.  This stuff was invented in the Fujian and Guangdong saltworks in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but it has not been able to be extended to Lianghuai because the seawater on the Lianghuai side has a lower salt content.

    ? Xu Guangqi improved the salt drying method during the Tianqi period, so that the Lianghuai Salt Fields could also dry salt.

    Unfortunately, bureaucracy and slow promotion.

    ?After becoming privately owned, it took only one year for the Lianghuai Salt Fields to use the sun-dried salt method.

    If the people's livelihood in northern Jiangsu and northern Anhui can be restored, Zhao Han's annual income may reach 20 million taels next year in the seven provinces alone!

    With money, being an emperor is worthwhile, and he will be enthroned in half a month!

    (The fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty was actually not as bad as imagined. Even after a whipping law, a large amount of in-kind taxes were retained. Adding up these in-kind taxes, the annual revenue of the Ming Dynasty must be more than 10 million taels, and may even exceed 15 million taels  .)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 386【Dengji Yuyu】

    ,

    The eighth day of September is an auspicious day for the zodiac.

    In the city of Nanjing, there are thousands of empty alleys, all wanting to watch the enthronement ceremony.

    Officials who really need to participate have received etiquette training in advance, so as not to make jokes when the ceremony is in progress.

    Hanlin Academy, officials gathered.

    Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu walked side by side, they are now brothers and sisters.  They fought there for a long time, wanting to be the dean of the Imperial Academy, but suddenly a Wang Tiaoding was parachuted in.

    There is no way to object, and I don't even dare to say strange things.

    Because of the latest edition of "Datong Collection", there are several articles in which the author's signature has changed to Wang Tiaoding.

    "Xi Ming, have you heard of the inner court system?" Qian Qianyi asked.

    Zhang Pu said in a low voice: "I heard that there may be trouble."

    Qian Qianyi sighed: "The cabinet ministers, why don't you know how to dissuade them?"

    Zhang Pu said: "The founding monarch is not so easy to persuade. As a subject, he can only remedy it slowly in the future."

    Wang Diaoding walked in front, and could vaguely hear the conversation between the two.

    He also felt the same about this, but he always felt that Zhao Han would not leave such a big loophole in his work.

    In particular, the royal family does not buy private property, what should the emperor do if he is short of money in the future?  Shameless and begging from civil servants?

    It's very simple, and there are overseas income!

    Zhao Han treated the royal family, clan, and relatives quite harshly. While allowing them to be officials, he also set an upper limit for being an official.  However, the navy is deliberately mentioned as an exception, and overseas official positions are also deliberately not mentioned.

    The royal family will also take a large part of the income from overseas colonies in the future.

    The emperor couldn't get much money in the country, so he must actively explore overseas territories and earn money from overseas colonies.  The royal family, clan and foreign relatives can also go overseas for adventure if they want to gain more benefits.

    At the same time, Zhao Han will also set the rules, how much income from overseas colonies will be distributed to the imperial court, and how much to the royal family.

    And deliberately leave a hole, the overseas colonies have developed to a certain extent, they can declare the establishment of a provincial system.  At that time, even if the colony is native, all income will go to the imperial court, leaving only a part to the royal family.

    In this way, the emperor has the enthusiasm to develop colonies, and the civil servants have the enthusiasm to develop colonies.

    As for the degree of development of the colony, it is assessed by the number of registered Han Chinese and local tax contributions.

    The degree of colonial development can be divided into four levels: worry, upper, middle, and lower.

    ?For lower-class colonies, 70% of the income goes to the royal family, and 30% goes to the imperial court.

    ?For medium-sized colonies, 60% of the income goes to the royal family, and 40% goes to the imperial court.

    ? In the upper-class colonies, the royal family and the imperial court share the income equally.

    ? Superior colonies can discuss the establishment of provinces.  After the establishment of the province, within 20 years, the imperial court will get 60% and the royal family will get 40%.  Twenty years later, the imperial court will get 80% and the royal family will get 20%.  Fifty years later, the royal family will only get 10%, and keep 10% forever.

    The emperor and the civil servants will have their brains out because of whether to build a province, and may even engage in a series of show operations in the colonies.

    But wouldn't the contradiction be shifted outward?

    Colonies are not good, they can be called "overseas territories".

    By that time, the royal family would not only be poor, but also extremely rich.  The more overseas territories, the richer the emperor, and at the same time the court can divide the money

    The officials of the Imperial Academy lined up for two streets before joining the team of the Qintian Academy.

    Not long after, Zhao Han's two thousand personal guards came over with a guard of honor, and Zhao Han and Fei Rulan rode in a carriage.

    Li Xiangjun and Kou Baimen are both among the ranks of female officials.

    They are all wearing the improved version of the dragging uniform, and the style is changed with great effort, only minor adjustments are made on the traditional dragging.

    As for what is dragging?

    Daming's unicorn suit and flying fish suit are all of the Yisa style.

    The onlookers on both sides of the road first saw the majestic and orderly guards, then the majestic female officials, and the civil and military ministers behind them, all felt a sense of freshness in the new dynasty.

    Today, everyone wears dresses, and Zhao Han asks people to pay for custom-made dresses, which are only worn on large and solemn occasions.

    Official dresses are all khaki.

    Datong New Dynasty, Tude!

    As for Manqing in the north, Shui De.

    Judging only from the attributes of the five elements, it is difficult to distinguish who is authentic, because Zhu Yuanzhang messed up at that time.

    Kublai Khan inherited the legal system of the Jin Kingdom and declared that Yuan belonged to water.

    Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang had two choices, one was to inherit the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty belonged to soil; the other was to inherit the Great Yuan Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty belonged to wood.

    &God, everything is based on the people.

    Second, praise Zhu Yuanzhang's achievements and recognize Ming's contribution to China.

    Third, summarize the reasons for the demise of Ming Dynasty.

    Fourth, the Tartars and the Puppet Qing Dynasty have stolen and occupied Beijing, and the bandits and rebels are still there, so Zhao Han will continue the Northern Expedition.

    Kong Zhenyun retreated to the side and shouted: "All officials stand up!"

    The sitting officials immediately stood up and held wat boards.

    "Kneel!"

    All the officials knelt down.

    "bye!"

    All the officials worship.

    When Zhao Han abolished the kneeling ceremony, he explained the rules from the beginning, except for important occasions such as sacrifices.

    In the future, there is no need to kneel in the court, and all seats will be given, so there is no need to stand to participate in the court meeting.

    However, this is the ascension ceremony, and Zhao Han is not representing himself. He is now the "emperor who should serve the people and serve the heavens".

    Kong Zhenyun shouted again: "Shanhu!"

    All the officials shouted: "Long live!"

    Kong Zhenyun shouted: "Shan Hu!"

    All the officials shouted: "Long live!"

    Kong Zhenyun shouted: "Hurr again!"

    All the officials shouted: "Long live!"

    Wearing a ceremonial robe and a crown, Zhao Han stood at the top facing the officials. Fei Rulan had already retreated with the female officials.

    The scene of shouting long live made Zhao Han's blood boil, and he couldn't help but feel a little elated.

    He turned around and looked behind. It was the abandoned imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty. The Forbidden City was overgrown with weeds and the palace collapsed. Everything reminded Zhao Han of the rise and fall of the dynasty.

    Long live Shan Hu, Hua Zhu Qian Qiu.  The static whip rings three times, and the clothes and hats worship the crown.

    The civil servants are outstanding, and the generals are vigorous.  The imperial way is divided into superior and inferior, and Dan Chi ranks first.

    This is the description of Tang Taizong in "Journey to the West". I don't know if Zhao Han can touch on it.

 Text 387 [Sun Chuanting Going to be the County Magistrate of Taipei] (addition for Penguin boss)

    Zhao Han was sitting at his desk, with a lady attendant standing beside him.

    The female officer is about thirty years old, with ordinary looks and body, without any special features.

    ?But Sun Chuanting, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Tingchen all looked awkward.  They had all met the emperor before, and they were used to eunuchs standing next to the emperor, but it was especially uncomfortable for them to suddenly become women.

    "Meet Your Majesty!"

    The three of them raised their hands, as if they were about to kneel.

    Zhao Han said: "Exemption, this is not the grand ceremony, you can stand and bow."

    So the three of them bowed to each other and were quickly seated.

    Sun Chuanting couldn't help looking at Zhao Han. Although his appearance was very different, his temperament and style reminded him of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty.

    Especially the enthronement ceremony two days ago, the content process has been spread to the people, it is simply a replica of Zhu Yuanzhang's proclaiming emperor.

    Except for worshiping the sacrificed soldiers and civilians, the other procedures are exactly the same.  Even moving benches in the open space to let civil and military officials sit down and listen to lectures was invented by Zhu Yuanzhang.

    Asked about the situation of the three of them, Zhao Han frowned and said, "So, Hong Chengchou was captured by the slaves?"

    "Should have been arrested." Cao Bianjiao replied.

    Sun Chuanting was quite surprised, shouldn't he pay attention to the imperial concubine and the prince?  Ask what Hong Chengchou is doing?

    Zhao Han asked again: "How many people are there in Beizhili? Has it ever reached the level of ten rooms and nine empties?"

    Sun Chuanting cupped his hands and said: "There are only three provinces in the north: Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan. Many prefectures and counties have ten houses and nine empties. Now I am afraid that Shandong will be added. As for Northern Zhili, it has not yet reached that point. Especially around Beijing, there are countless acres of rich and powerful fields.  There is no way to collect land taxes. Although the tenants attached to these lands have a hard life, they can barely survive."

    Sun Chuanting omitted to mention Huangzhuang. Many Huangzhuang were actually the private property of eunuchs, and those lands were also unable to collect taxes.

    In addition, many states and counties are empty, but not all states and counties are like this.

    Sun Chuanting came from a large family in Shanxi, which evolved from a family of generals to a family of imperial examinations. These big families will not starve to death because of the drought.

    Cao Bianjiao said: "Your Majesty, the great epidemic in Shandong makes it inconvenient to fight for the time being. You can march into Henan, and the prefectures and counties along the way will surely return to you. From Henan, cross the Yellow River and attack Beizhili directly. Taking advantage of the unsteady foothold of the slaves, we will drive them out of Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop!  "

    "Don't worry, we'll talk about it next year." Zhao Han smiled.

    There is no way to fight for the time being. Although the autumn harvest has been completed and Zhao Han has food and grass in his hands, he really cannot afford to fight a war.

    ?The route to fight Beijing through the barren Henan was too long, and the peasants probably ate more grain than the soldiers.

    Even if we really want to fight, we will transport troops and food from Jiangsu, and land directly in Tianjin by sea.

    It has to be done slowly, take Sichuan first, and then spare time to restore the people's strength of the provinces.

    Zhao Han said to Cao Bianjiao and Wang Tingchen: "You have brought more than 300 cavalry from the north, which is considered meritorious service. If you want to continue to serve in the army, you can be a general with a hundred cavalry. If you want to live in peace, the whole family can divide the land in the countryside. I will reward you  One cattle per person."

    Cao Bianjiao couldn't laugh or cry, the emperor's reward is really interesting.

    Of course, the emperor of Ming Dynasty was similar. He often rewarded officials with two taels, four taels, and six taels of silver. Rewarding more than ten taels means that he has made great achievements.

    Wang Tingchen asked: "If you join the army, can your family share the land?"

    "Of course," Zhao Han said with a smile, "there is no land in the south to divide, and the land can only be divided in the north."

    Cao Bianjiao said: "My family members are all in Shanxi, I only hope to fight back as soon as possible, and I am willing to join the army to die for Your Majesty!"

    Wang Tingchen cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to serve Your Majesty!"

    "good!"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I will appoint you as generals of a hundred cavalry, and immediately go to Runing and Xuzhou to assist in training knights."

    Although there is a cavalry establishment in Datong, and there is no shortage of horses for the time being, there is a shortage of experienced cavalry officers.

    Zhao Han said again: "Don't dislike the low position of a hundred generals. Li Dingguo under Zhang Xianzhong led tens of thousands of soldiers to surrender, and now he is only a hundred generals. As long as you make military exploits, I will definitely not treat you badly."

    Zhao Han became the emperor, and I still come and go.

    The emperor can call himself Zhen, but it is mainly used in formal occasions, and he usually calls himself I, Zan, and I in private.

    Zhu Di even claimed seven I in the same imperial decree: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, said: I am the west of the Han people Since my father, the emperor, the emperor Gao Now I have inherited the big seat I see this  Sorry"

    Arranged two generals,??Ask Aunt Zhu: "The princess is also studying?"

    Auntie Zhu replied, "I went to a girls' school."

    "That's good." Concubine Tian Gui finally felt relieved, since Zhao Han treated the former royal family kindly, her own young son is not in danger.

    Not long after, two court ladies came to the courtyard with food.

    Nowadays, there is not even a royal palace, and there are not many court ladies.  Said to be a court lady, more like a maid hired by Zhao Han, Xiyue was automatically promoted to the head of the palace maid.

    A court lady explained: "Your Majesty is accepting concubines today, and some old friends are reunited in the back house. You can have dinner here."

    Concubine Tian Gui said quickly: "Thank you two sisters, please congratulate Your Majesty on my behalf, and wish Your Majesty and the imperial concubine an early birth to a son."

    Watching the maid leave, Concubine Tian Gui felt a little sad.

    In Chongzhen's harem, she was the most beautiful and most favored, and even made Queen Zhou jealous many times.

    She is in the palace and can even hunt on horseback.

    From now on, I'm afraid I can only live in this small courtyard, but I don't know whether my son can live a normal life in the future.

    The sound of blowing, blowing and beating has already been heard outside. It seems that she is welcoming the imperial concubine, and I don't know which lucky woman it is.

 Text 388【Sichuan Situation】

    ,

    The process of the emperor marrying the queen is very cumbersome.

    But if it's Na Fei, it's very simple.  In the Ming Dynasty, a great eunuch could preside over it, and the status is obvious.

    Sitting in the sedan chair, Fei Rumei secretly opened a corner of the curtain, but saw many people watching, so she was so ashamed that she quickly closed the curtain.

    The maid who grew up with her also came, and she will be a palace maid in the future.  Of course, as long as the employment contract expires, the maid can apply to leave at any time.

    Now Zhao Han's harem, even including the maids, is not many people, and the annual expenses of one hundred thousand taels of silver are more than enough.

    If it is different if you move into the palace, there will be more and more female officials and court ladies, and the annual expenditure may be hundreds of thousands of taels.  How much money to take from the national treasury depends on the situation. Zhao Han decided to use ten years of experiments to finally determine an amount.

    Roughly imagined, if the royal family spends 1 million yuan a year, it will take 1.5 million yuan from the treasury every year.

    Many institutions in the inner court have been cut off from power. Since the power is transferred to the outer court, the outer court will have to bear corresponding obligations.  For example, for the construction of palaces and mausoleums, the Ming Dynasty paid the money together with the inner and outer courts. In the future, all the money will be taken from the treasury, and the royal family will not give out a tael of silver.

    Of course, when encountering a powerful monarch, it is very likely to break the rules.

    For example, in the late Ming Dynasty, the emperor's internal money was private money, and the national treasury also became the emperor's internal treasury.

    Zhao Han tried his best to set the rules according to his own wishes. As for what kind of ghosts were changed by his descendants, he was too lazy to care, and he didn't care.

    Fei Rumei was taken to a courtyard, and the maid accompanied her to sit in the room.

    Until the second watch, when the door was finally pushed open, Fei Rumei's heart beat wildly.

    The maid bowed and retreated, leaving only two people in the room.

    Zhao Han lifted the red hijab, and the red candle reflected his smile, which was really attractive.

    To be honest, Fei Rumei is prettier than her elder sister, but Zhao Han can't help but think of how she changed her teeth when she was a child.  With a grin, the dog's sinus opened wide.

    "Sisterhusband." Fei Rumei bowed her head and greeted with a voice as thin as a mosquito.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "You can also call me brother-in-law."

    "Brother-in-law!"

    Fei Rumei also laughed.

    It's autumn tiger again, and the weather is quite hot.

    Wearing a red hijab, Fei Rumei had a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, and Zhao Han picked up the hijab to help her wipe it off.  The movements were gentle, and Fei Rumei was so sweet in her heart that she looked up and stared at Zhao Han in a daze.

    Brother-in-law is still so handsome and mighty!

    Fei Rumei became more and more shy: "Brother-in-law, I'm sweating too, do you want to wash it first?"

    "No need." Zhao Han helped her remove the wedding dress, and sure enough, even the vest was wet with sweat.

    He simply took off the robe inside, revealing his bright red bellyband.

    Fei Rumei blushed and did not dare to open her eyes, her cheek was pressed against Zhao Han's arms, her body was trembling slightly.

    "Sister said you have always refused to marry?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

    Fei Rumei has long been led astray by Zhao Zhenfang, and has a lively and generous personality.  Although shy at the moment, he boldly said: "Those men can't compare with brother-in-law. I wanted to marry brother-in-law very early on. Don't worry brother-in-law, I promise to be very obedient, and I will not compete with my sister in the future."

    Zhao Han hugged her and lay down, kissed her forehead and said, "How are your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

    Fei Rumei smiled and said: "They are very leisurely and comfortable. Two days before I got married, the whole family went to visit the West Lake, saying that they would enjoy all the famous places in Hangzhou."

    "It's good to be free." Zhao Han's mouth moved all the way down, from the forehead to the tip of the nose, and finally landed on her red lips.

    The red candle flickers, lingering.

    In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Han went to work, and Fei Rumei went to meet the queen.

    Although he has ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, Zhao Han has not opened the court meeting for the time being, so the monarch and his ministers don't have to go to court every day.

    The court meeting of the Ming Dynasty was only useful in the early days of the founding of the country. With the improvement of the cabinet system, the court meeting became purely a ceremony.  Every court meeting, there are only three or five things discussed, and they are all government affairs that have been handled by the cabinet.

    If there are fierce disputes in the court, it means that there has been a huge contradiction between the monarch and his ministers, or between his ministers.

    Although it is just a formality, the court meeting must be preserved.

    Zhao Han decided that after the palace was repaired, he would hold a court meeting on the sixth of every month, that is, the court would go up on the sixth, sixteenth, and twenty-sixth day of the month.

    Now Zhao Han communicates with ten cao every day, ten cao is equivalent to the six subjects of Ming Dynasty, and the chief officer of each cao is called left servant and right servant.

    The left and right servants are handling government affairs, and the ordinary servants take turns to report to Zhao Han every day.

    Cabinet, Ten?.  After taking Chongqing, Huang Yao, Mrs. Qin, and Yang Zhan worked together to pacify Sichuan.  "

    ?Sichuan's Chengdu Prefecture is fertile and thousands of miles away, and the salt field in Fushun is also making a lot of money. These two sites must be won as soon as possible.

    In Sichuan today, there are several major warlords and more than 20 small warlords.  The further the delay, the worse the economic and people's livelihood in Sichuan will be. The warlords must frantically exploit the people in order to expand their territory.

    Setting up a cabinet to share government affairs made Zhao Han feel much easier.

    ?I work eight hours a day, and I still have time to paddle in the middle, so I can read books, write articles and so on.

    Back in the harem at night, one empress and two concubines gathered for dinner, and several sons and daughters of Chongzhen were also called, and the life was lively and comfortable.

    It will be different if you move into the palace in the future, and everyone will definitely be a lot stranger.

    When the maid brought the food, Fei Rulan asked, "Has the date for Concubine Zhuang's entry to the palace be fixed?"

    "It's fixed, next month." Zhao Han said.

    Fei Rulan is the empress, Pan Qimei is the virtuous concubine, Fei Rumei is the Shu concubine, and Liu Rushi is the Zhuang concubine, according to the rankings of Xian, Shu, Zhuang, Jing, Hui, Shun, Kang and Ning.

    The harem at this time was indeed too deserted, with three concubines and only three princes and daughters.

    Pan Qimei raised her left hand and asked with a smile, "Husband, this is the jade bracelet that Sister Concubine Shu gave me. Does it look good?"

    "It looks good." Zhao Han nodded.

    Fei Rumei just laughed, newlyweds, her excitement is not over yet.

    Zhao Zhenfang pouted at the table, Fei Rumei, who grew up with her, is married, why hasn't that damned Zheng Sen come back yet?

 Text Talk about the controversy

    ?There have been quite a lot of quarrels these days, nothing more than Liu Rushi entering the palace, the royal family does not own private property, and overseas development.

    First, Liu Rushi's entry into the palace was indeed not paved enough, and this was the author's fault.

    Second, the royal family does not own private property.  To be honest, it is useless to own private property.  The income of the royal family of Ming Dynasty mainly relied on Jinhuayin, Huangzhuanghuangdian and eunuchs to exploit places.

    Jinhuayin made the people of Zhejiang and Shaanxi miserable, and the rise of bandits in the Northwest is also inseparable from Jinhuayin.  Moreover, the gold flowers and silver collected had to be used to pay the salaries of military officials, not the royal family alone.

    Huangzhuang Huangdian.

    Huangzhuang is to enclose the land of the common people and let the common people be tenants for the emperor.  Most of Huangzhuang's income was divided up by the eunuchs, and even in the name of Huangzhuang, the eunuchs occupied the land privately.

    The imperial shop does not operate the royal shop, but the eunuchs set up tax offices in various places under the name of the emperor.

    The eunuchs exploited the place, Wanli did the best, and a large number of mine supervisors and tax envoys were thrown out.  The eunuch casually pointed to a certain household and said that this household had a mine and had to pay back the mine tax.  The emperor takes the small head, and the eunuchs share the big head.

    How could Zhao Han engage in these things?

    The emperor's power is too great. Once private property is purchased, no matter whether eunuchs or female officials are used, it is impossible to manage private property seriously.  It will develop into the paper industry in Qianshan. The official paper mill does not produce, and the official craftsmen do private work for eunuchs and officials.  When the imperial court needed paper, it contracted out some merchants to buy it, and those merchants kept the price low and exploited private paper mills.

    The inner court of the Ming Dynasty also opened many factories, which can be regarded as the private property of the royal family.  But in less than a hundred years, all the factories of the royal family were abandoned. Not only could they not generate profits, but the royal family had to subsidize money to support them.

    If Zhao Han lets the royal family open a factory, he will definitely end up in the same way. After a hundred years, he will raise a bunch of idlers, and the royal family will not be able to make any money, so they will have to spend money to support administrators and workers.

    The emperor of the Ming Dynasty had a lot of private property.  In the middle and late stages, it all depends on exploiting the people and taking money from the state treasury by the way, and those private properties are basically useless.

    Third, overseas development.

    I will write slowly in the future, and the loopholes you mentioned will be filled.

    Moreover, some loopholes are intentionally left.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 389 [The Zheng family who has made a lot of money]

    ,

    Zheng Sen came back and brought back a group of pirates.

    The pirates were led to meet Zhao Han. After walking through the hall, Zheng Zhiwan laughed softly and said, "This is where the new dynasty's court is located? It's not as luxurious as our house."

    "Shut up!" Zheng Zhilong immediately shouted under his voice.

    Zheng Zhiwan didn't dare to speak anymore, his cousin kept his promises, and the brothers of the Zheng family had to be obedient.

    The place where Zhao Han lived and worked was the Nanjing Inner Garrison of the Ming Dynasty, which belonged to Zheng He's official residence.  It was built by the eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty. Naturally, it was very low-key and did not dare to overstep the rules.

    Although it is not rich, it occupies a large area, which can temporarily accommodate Zhao Han's harem and inner and outer courts.

    Arriving at a foyer, I saw Zhao Han was reviewing the memorial, and there were several female officials and civil officials beside him.

    Zhao Han put down the ink pen, and the civil servant immediately left with the memorial.

    "Meet Your Majesty!" Zheng Sen took the lead in bowing.

    "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

    The Zheng family brothers, Shi Daxuan and other pirates quickly knelt down and shouted, and what they shouted was still the same as in the drama.

    Zheng Sen felt so embarrassed. He told the audience ceremony, and specifically stated that he did not need to kneel.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Get up, give me your seat."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    The pirates kowtowed again before getting up and taking their seats.

    As soon as his butt touched the seat, Zheng Zhilong stood up again and explained to Zhao Han the meeting with the members.

    There are Zheng Chenggong's fourth brother Zheng Zhifeng, fifth brother Zheng Zhibao, cousin Zheng Zhiwan, and Shi Lang's father Shi Daxuan.

    In addition, Hong Xu has already joined Zhao Han and is now the deputy commander of the Shanghai Navy.

    Gan Hui, Zheng Zhilong's favorite general, is currently staying in Fujian and is temporarily in charge of controlling the fleet.

    "Are you alone?" Zhao Han asked, "Where's Li Dan's son, Li Guozhu? He still doesn't want to surrender?"

    Zheng Zhilong replied: "Li Guozhu's command is mostly merchant ships, the number of warships is not much, and he usually lives in Japan."

    Zhao Han wrote down the name of Li Guozhu in his small notebook, and decided to take this person first.

    Zheng Zhilong is Li Dan's adopted son, and Li Guozhu is Li Dan's parent-son.

    After Li Dan's death, Zheng Zhilong took over his influence in Taiwan, and his influence in Xiamen was taken over by Xu Xinsu. Li Guozhu only inherited his father's Japanese influence.  Therefore, Li Guozhu regarded Zheng Zhilong as his mortal enemy, and once helped Liu Xiang attack Zheng Zhilong together.

    Now it is no longer a fight, because Zheng Zhilong is too powerful, Li Guozhu can only acquiesce in his dominance.

    Zhao Han asked: "Are there any big pirates who refuse to submit?"

    Zheng Zhilong replied: "He Bin and Guo Huaiyi both took refuge in the red-haired ghost (Netherlands) and became Catholics."

    Zhao Han corrected and said: "The Christianity is the Christianity, and it can no longer be called God or God. How can the gods in "Shangshu", "Book of Songs", "The Analects" and "Mencius" be used to call the gods of overseas countries?  ? For thousands of years, China has always respected the ancestors of Heaven and Dharma. The gods of Fanbang are called God, and I am also the people of China. Could it be that the sky I respect is actually a slave of the foreign gods of Fanbang!"

    "Don't dare!" Zheng Zhilong quickly knelt down, because he is also a Catholic.

    Zhao Han asked: "Everyone under your command, the ships with more than six cannons belong to me, and the ones with six or less guns belong to you. How about it?"

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, this regulation has a big loophole.

    If all the cannons are dismantled, wouldn't there be no need for a single ship?

    But when the pirates looked at Zhao Han, their hearts couldn't help but twitch.  No one regarded Zhao Han as a fool, and began to suspect that this was a trick to lure a snake out of its hole.

    Zhao Han now has two shipyards, one in Guangzhou and one in Shanghai.  Dutch shipbuilders were also invited to build merchant ships and sell them to private merchants, while training shipbuilders while building ships.

    Zheng Zhilong visited the shipbuilding in Guangzhou, where many hundred-year-old hemp oaks were stockpiled, enough to build two warships with more than 400 materials.

    Moreover, the wood has been hoarded for several years, and the building has not yet started.  This is to learn from the European way, soaking oak for more than ten years to make it extremely strong before starting to build warships!

    I heard that Shanghai is also hoarding century-old oak oaks, and due to transportation reasons, they hoard more than Guangzhou Shipyard.

    After more than ten years, these oak battleships of Zhao Han were built, and equipped with high-quality artillery, who can withstand the entire ocean?

    Zheng Zhilong still knelt on the ground and said: "The Zheng family is willing to donate 80 warships, and the artillery of the rest of the ships will be removed to less than six!"

    "Very good." Zhao Han was very satisfied with this, and Zheng Zhilong finally understood what he meant.

    ? Dedicated warshipsExplanation: "Your Majesty restores the ancient five-class nobility, plus the nobility of the king, that is, king, duke, marquis, uncle, son, and man."

    Zheng Zhifeng muttered, "I am a viscount, and I am still under the earl."

    Zheng Zhiwan said: "It's not bad, and there are barons below. From now on, my Zheng family will be full of nobles. Who dares to say nothing? Especially those poor scholars, if they dare to look down on the Zheng family  , just look down on the current Holy Majesty!"

    Zheng Sen hastened to warn: "Father, uncle, and nobles of the new dynasty must also pay taxes according to the regulations. From now on, the Zheng family must not evade taxes, otherwise the thunder will be enraged, and there may be a catastrophe."

    "You don't need to say that," Zheng Zhilong said with a smile, "The Zheng family has already earned enough money, and they can't spend it in ten lifetimes. Why do you care about those taxes? What the Zheng family wants is status. After returning home, they will spend the money  To run a school, invite famous teachers from Fujian to teach. Once Your Majesty resumes the imperial examination, my descendants of the Zheng family can take the exam and become officials. In a hundred years, the Zheng family will be a scholarly family!"

    Zhao Han allowed private schools to be opened. Girls' schools in various places are private, but they must apply to the government for registration.

    Zheng Zhibao especially admires scholars, otherwise he would not spend money to become a scholar. He also smiled and said: "Your Majesty is a holy man, a noble son, can also take an exam to become an official. From now on, I, the son of the Zheng family, will be a lord and a scholar.  Take both ends!"

    The Zheng brothers did not sit in the sedan chair, and walked all the way back to their residence, laughing and laughing along the way.  It seems that they have made money by handing over the battleship.

    However, Zhao Han was reminded by Zheng Zhilong and ordered officials from all over the country to strictly censor the Christian Bible, and burn all the words "God" and "God"!

    (Oh, I'm very sorry, I thought I had already thanked you, but I found out that my memory was wrong. Thanks to the leader of the blasphemy-level boss for the reward, I'm really sorry, forgive me, forgive me! ?

 Text 390 [Long Huamin] (addition for the penguin boss)

    ?Jiangsu Province, Jiading County.

    Here is the branch of the Society of Jesus in China, headquartered in Beijing!

    The provincial governor of the Chinese branch of the Jesuits was named Fu Fanji, and the inspector was named Ban Ande. They jointly held a special meeting.

    This is the third time such a meeting has been held.

    Over the past twenty years, the Jesuits have had different opinions. Some people agree to use God and God, while others oppose the use of God and God.  Those who agree with it think it is more conducive to preaching, while those who oppose it think that it distorts the teachings.

    ? In the first meeting, there was no result of the debate, so a compromise was adopted: God and Heaven are not allowed to be used, but God can be used.  Because God and Heaven are both Chinese words, but God was created by Matteo Ricci.

    In fact, Tianzhu also belongs to the existing vocabulary. It was the main god among the eight gods in the Qin and Han Dynasties. Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would sacrifice to God when they enshrined in Zen. These missionaries did not read enough to understand.

    The second council, just nine years ago, allowed the use of deus and god in missionary use.

    "The Ming Dynasty has been destroyed. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty heard that he died in a peasant rebellion," said the chairman Fu Fanji. "The new country of China is called the Datong Kingdom, and the new emperor is called Zhao Han. The emperor issued an order in Nanjing to destroy some  God, Heaven, God’s missionary books. Here in Jiading, it will be implemented soon, everyone express their opinions.”

    There were also Jesuit missionaries in Nanjing. When they got the news, they immediately returned by boat to inform the headquarters.

    The news from the Society of Jesus is faster than the official, because this is not an emergency decree, and the official is issuing documents step by step at a normal speed.

    "I said a long time ago that you can't use words such as God and God, because you have not listened to my opinion!" Long Huamin patted the table excitedly.

    Long Huamin is the successor of Matteo Ricci and has been serving as the president of the Society of Jesus in Beijing.

    After Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, he handed over the work in Beijing to Tang Ruowang, and he went to Shandong to preach.

    Six months ago, a plague broke out in Shandong. He fled from Shandong to the south and was detained when he smuggled across the Huaihe River. He was quarantined for a month before he was released.  Six missionaries who went south together died of illness and finally arrived in Jiading this month.

    Don't look at Long Huamin's opposition to the use of God and God, he is actually more conservative and stubborn.

    He believes that God and God are traditional Chinese gods, and they cannot be equated with deus and god in Christianity. Otherwise, it is a blasphemy against God and a forced submission to Confucianism!

    He also forbade Chinese believers to worship Confucius and ancestors, thinking that these are stupid superstitious activities and a complete betrayal of the true God of Christianity.

    Matteo Ricci is just the opposite, trying to integrate with Confucianism, allowing believers to worship Confucius and ancestors, thinking that using God and God is more conducive to preaching.

    Long Huamin became more and more excited as he spoke, and he stood up directly: "The Jesuits spread teachings in China. They should not follow the route of scholars, but should follow the route of common people. Chinese society is unequal and there are many slaves. I was very successful in preaching in Shandong.  , I told the common people that everyone is equal before God. Many common people have joined the religion because they want to be equal! But the scholars are high above, they don’t need to believe in religion. They believe in heaven and ancestors, Confucius and Mencius, they  It is a force that hinders missionary work!"

    Fu Fanji reminded: "Perhaps, Mr. President, you just came from the north, and you don't know much about China in the south. The new emperor of China has already declared that everyone is equal. Your civilian missionary route will not work in the south. This  In the past two years, many common believers have even chosen to leave the religion."

    "Civilians quit religion? What's the reason?" Long Huamin found it hard to understand.

    Fu Fanji explained: "The new emperor announced that everyone is equal, farmers can share their land, and urban people can settle down. Whether in cities or in rural areas, the lives of the people have become higher. Especially the common people in the countryside, they all have land. There is not enough land.  Those who were divided were also immigrated to the north to divide the fields. So they broke away from religion, and they no longer prayed to God, but worshiped the emperor at home."

    "Worshiping the emperor?" Long Huamin thought he heard it wrong.

    Fu Fanji sighed: "Yes, many farmers worship the emperor as a god."

    Ban Ande, a long-term inspector sent by the Holy See, interrupted the conversation between the two and reminded: "The two priests, the topic to be discussed today is whether to destroy all missionary books immediately. Also, the new emperor of China has already  Negative image of the Jesuits, we should send someone to contact the Emperor of China."

    Long Huamin said: "It is necessary to destroy missionary books and reprint them. I have always disagreed with the use of God and God, which really violates our teachings! If the new emperor of China believes that everyone is equal, I can go to see him in person  , may be able to persuade the emperor to join the religion."

    "You are crazy, it is impossible for the emperor of China to join the religion."?Hua Min persevered and continued, "Your Majesty, do you know where people come from?"

    Zhao Han said: "I don't know where people come from, but I know where you come from. This morning, I consulted my cabinet ministers, and it turns out that you have been famous for a long time, and you are the chief culprit who caused the Nanjing religious incident."  If you dare to stop Chinese believers from worshiping ancestors, believe it or not, I will directly announce a nationwide religious ban like Emperor Wanli!"

    "Don't dare!" Long Huamin replied quickly, sweating on his forehead in fright.

    Zhao Han said: "Stay here and help Qintianyuan to revise the calendar together. I will not give you a salary, and I will not stop you from preaching, but you are not allowed to preach in public. I will formally notify the Jesuits. Once Christianity is found to be in violation  According to the Chinese custom, the imperial court immediately expels all missionaries!"

    "Yes." Long Huamin bowed cautiously.

    Zhao Han said again: "If possible, call Tang Ruowang from Beijing.?

 Text 391 [Zheng Zhilong's Resignation]

    Fuzhou.

    Zheng Zhilong plans to buy wasteland on the outskirts of the city, build a luxurious mansion, and then invest in the construction of a school, and hire famous teachers from all over the world to teach.

    I have just selected the wasteland and plan to buy it with money and ask the government for approval to build a house.  As a result, the defendant was told that Zheng Zhilong's household registration was not in Fuzhou, and he had to change his household registration first before he could purchase the wasteland specially approved by the government.

    It's useless for Zheng Zhilong to put on his identity as Lord Marquis!

    After some anger, Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to be obedient.  The son has already hired the eldest princess (Zhao Zhenfang), and has even chosen an auspicious day to get married, so there is no need to make trouble at this juncture.

    Zheng Zhilong could only temporarily live in a small house in Fuzhou City. Today is Sunday, so he went to Sanshan Church to worship.

    Throughout China, Beijing is the headquarters of the Jesuits, Macau is the rear of the Jesuits, Jiading is the base of the Jesuits, and Fuzhou is the academic center of the Jesuits.  There used to be Nanjing. Since the Nanjing Missionary Case, the influence of the Jesuits in Nanjing has been uprooted.

    Zheng Zhilong came to Sanshan Hall in a sedan chair, and soon saw Father Ai Julian.

    Ai Julius is the vicar of the Southern China Diocese of the Society of Jesus, responsible for the management of educational affairs in Nanjing, Jiangxi, Hunan, Sichuan, Zhejiang, and Fujian.

    He is known as the "Confucius from the West", and he was a good friend of the late Chief Assistant Ye Xianggao. He knew several cabinet ministers from the Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties, more than a dozen ministers and countless governors.

    Historically, after Chongzhen hanged himself, Ai Julius summoned missionaries from the south to Nanjing to help Shi Kefa resist the Manchus.  It's a pity that these missionaries have only gone halfway, and the small court in Nanjing is already finished.

    Across Fujian, Aurelius built more than 20 churches.

    The Sanshan Church in Fuzhou is not only used for preaching, but also publishes more than 80% of the books of the Jesuits in China.

    Of these books, only a few are related to the "Bible", and most of them belong to astronomy, calendar, geography, mathematics, philosophy, medicine, etc.  Especially astronomy, philosophy, and geography had a great influence among Fujian scholars, and Christianity was being highly integrated with Confucianism in Fujian.

    ? If it is allowed to develop, Christianity is very likely to be as sinicized as Buddhism, and become a Chinese Christianity.

    Even stand on their own like the Orthodox Church and become Jing Orthodox Church?

    The Nestorian monument in China was discovered by Julian Ai!

    Zheng Zhilong walked into the Sanshan Hall and found that Ai Julian was baptizing people. He stood by and watched with great interest.

    Not long after, there was noise outside the church.

    An official wearing an official uniform but carrying a long sword rushed to the door of the church and shouted: "Surround this place immediately!"

    Ai Julian continued to do the baptism in a calm manner.

    He has been used to it for a long time, and was even wanted by the court for the crime of "rong Confucianism slandering Buddha".

    Tang Tianlu entered the church with a sneer, and did not interrupt the other party's spellcasting, just stood there quietly watching.

    Many Datong scholars that Xu Ying developed are now officials at all levels of missionary offices.  Tang Tianlu, for example, is the director of the Propaganda and Education Bureau of Fuzhou Prefecture, responsible for the ideological education work in Fuzhou.

    This person is a fanatic of Datong thought, and is proud of being a swordsman, even if he is the chief of the bureau, he still carries a long sword all day long.

    Tang Tianlu was not used to Sanshantang for a long time!

    Finally, the baptism is over.

    Ai Julius paced up to Tang Tianlu, cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, what is your purpose here?"

    Tang Tianlu took out the search warrant jointly issued by the Fujian Propaganda Department and the Fuzhou prefect, and said with a blank expression: "Your Majesty has ordered that Christian churches in various places must register with the government within one month. Those who fail to report within the time limit will be demolished immediately!  From now on, Christianity must obtain government approval to build churches anywhere. Christianity is not allowed to preach anywhere except churches!"

    Ai Julius breathed a sigh of relief immediately, as long as he doesn't directly impose a religious ban, it will be fine, and he will go to the government to report to the government tomorrow.  He was a little afraid of being banned by the church. Sanshan Hall was suppressed for 20 years, and it was not finally restored until a few years ago.

    "Since it is the emperor's order, I must obey it, and report to the government tomorrow." Ai Julius said.

    Tang Tianlu also said: "Your Majesty has ordered that Christian missionary books must not use God, Heaven, and God as external gods."

    "This" Ai Julian's face turned pale immediately.

    Arulius is more radical than Matteo Ricci. He has read the Four Books and Five Classics, and he has also studied Zhu Xi.  Therefore, he knows how to preach, that is, to localize Christianity in China just like Buddhism.

    The path he chose was to directly integrate Christianity with Confucianism!

    Zhao Han's order will cause Ai Julian's hard work to go to waste.

    Tang Tianlu ignored itIf you don't want to hand over your life, your descendants will not be allowed to be officials for three generations.

    As soon as this remark came out, the Ye family jumped up and down, and voluntarily handed in the books.

    Not long after, he handed over three "Bibles" and a bunch of Christian pamphlets.

    Compared with being an official for descendants, religious belief seems to be dispensable.

    In the next few days, Sanshan Hall successfully reported to the government, allowing missionaries to preach inside Sanshan Hall.  However, all other churches in Fuzhou were banned, and only one church was allowed to exist in a city.

    Seeing that the imperial court was really moving, Zheng Zhilong Ma Liu donated a thousand taels of silver to repair the Tianfei Temple in Fuzhou.

    Since then, Zheng Zhilong has been a devout Taoist believer, and he has completely drawn a line from Western Christianity.

    As for Ai Julian, this "Confucius from the West", honestly went to Nanjing to meet the emperor.

    After Zhao Han communicated with Ai Julian, he discovered that the other party's level of Confucianism actually beat many local Chinese scholars.  Moreover, astronomy, geography, mathematical geometry, and medical physics are all familiar, and he even dabbles in traditional Chinese medicine.

    Ai Julius was thrown to become a bachelor without any hassle, and assisted the Qintianyuan Planetarium in compiling the calendar.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Body 392 [Yellow Emperor Era and New Calendar]

    Nanjing, Yuhuatai.

    There is a Huihui Observatory here, and the traditional Chinese Observatory is built on Jiming Mountain.

    For more than 200 years in the Ming Dynasty, in terms of astronomy and calendar, the Han calendar and the Muslim calendar were parallel.  Although the Huihui Qin Tianjian was cancelled, the relevant personnel were retained, and the Huihui Division has always existed in the Onmyoji system.

    Back in front of the observatory, Liu Rushi was flipping through a volume of "Chongzhen Almanac", while Zhao Han was flipping through another volume.

    During the Chongzhen period, Qin Tianjian was divided into four parts.

    One is the Datong calendar system, the other is the Hijri calendar system, the third is the Western Bureau system, and the fourth is the Eastern Bureau system.

    ? The Western Game and the Eastern Game will compete eight times before and after, and measure the eclipse of the sun and moon to determine the winner or loser.

    The Western Game was won, so European astronomical knowledge was introduced into the Datong calendar system of the Ming Dynasty.  Although it is not compatible, a new set of calendars was compiled, and important parts of it were selected and engraved as "Chongzhen Almanac".

    The circle is divided into 360 degrees, the day is divided into 96 quarters, and the time is divided into 60. These are all introduced into China through the "Chongzhen Almanac".

    The set of "Chongzhen Almanac" in Zhao Han's hand was brought to the south from Shandong by missionary Long Huamin.

    ?This book has not been published nationwide at all, it is only printed in a small amount by Beijing Qintianjian, and it cannot be bought in folk book markets.

    Zhao Han closed the "Chongzhen Almanac" and asked: "The earth is the center of the universe, the sun and stars revolve around the earth, and the five major planets revolve around the sun. Which smart person proposed this kind of statement, and it was compiled into the "Chongzhen Almanac" majestically.  "?"

    In front of Zhao Han and Liu Rushi, more than thirty Chinese and foreign astronomers sat.

    Long Huamin participated in the compilation of this book. He stood up and clasped his hands to explain: "Your Majesty, in the former Ming Qin Tianjian, the contradictions between the East and the West were very fierce. Moreover, the chiefs of the Qin Tianjian were often jealous, self-willed, and reckless.  Interfering with the work of the calendar bureau. The heliocentric theory cannot be compiled into the almanac at all, and only the geocentric theory can be used."

    "I am not Chongzhen, what should be, is what should be, "Chongzhen Almanac" must check for omissions and fill in gaps, and re-compile it." Zhao Han said.

    Long Huamin asked: "Your Majesty, to recompile the almanac, should we directly adopt the Western calendar, or introduce Western astronomical knowledge into the Datong calendar?"

    Zhao Han smiled and asked, "Which one do you think is suitable?"

    Long Huamin replied: "All are suitable."

    Hehe, he is really a clever little ghost. He must have stumbled a lot in Beijing Qintianjian.

    Cao Xuequan got up suddenly and said: "Your Majesty, it is difficult to take into account the Western calendar and the Datong calendar in many places. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages."

    Cao Xuequan is the originator of Hokkien Opera. Maybe he is not very famous, but his couplets are well known.  That's the sentence: Every time more dogs are slaughtered in righteousness, most of them are scholars who are ungrateful.

    Historically, after the death of Chongzhen, this gentleman committed suicide by diving and was rescued.  Later, he served as an official in the small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty. After Zheng Zhilong was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he hanged himself and died for the country, leaving a couplet of death: single pen in life, and a rope in death.

    "I'm asking you, which calendar should you use?" Zhao Han repeated again.

    Cao Xuequan said: "Abandon Daming's "Da Tong Li", introduce Western astronomical algorithms, and remake Shen Mengxi's twelve gas calendars."

    "The minister seconded the proposal!" Zeng Yizhuan immediately got up and agreed. He and Cao Xuequan came from Fujian together, and obviously they had already communicated on the way.

    Zeng Yizhuan was a posthumous child, and was taught to read by his mother.  After passing the examination as a scholar, he made a living as a private school teacher, supported his elderly mother with a meager income, and refused to accept anyone's relief.  Moreover, if you refuse to be recommended as an official, you usually teach, study knowledge, and write letters to local officials to discuss matters.

    ? Yang Manuo, archbishop of the Chinese Diocese of the Jesuits, immediately stood up with Ayulio: "Your Majesty, you can adopt the Western calendar!"

    Zhao Han ignored the two missionaries, and only asked Cao Xuequan: "How do you calculate the twelve solar calendars?"

    Cao Xuequan replied: "Traditional Chinese calendars all use the Pingqi method, and they are all lunar and solar calendars. This will inevitably lead to confusion. Often the season is already spring, and the calendar months are still in winter. Even if the leap month method is used to reconcile, this contradiction cannot be completely eliminated.  .Because Shen Kuo and Shen Mengxi, the sages of the Song Dynasty, based on the solar terms, created the twelve-qi calendar."

    "Explain in detail." Zhao Han still didn't understand.

    Cao Xuequan said: "Introducing Western astronomy into the twelve solar calendars is to divide the 360 ??degrees of the zodiac into 24 equal parts. Each lunar solar term is at a fixed position where the earth revolves, and the angle between the two lunar solar terms with the neighbors is 15 degrees.  In this way, Lichun is January 1, Jingzhe is February 1, Qingming is March 1heavy snow is November 1, and minor cold is December 1. The big moon has 31 days and the small moon has 30 days.”

    Zhao Han understands that this is a solar calendar that combines Chinese and Western elements, and the moon is determined by the 24 solar terms of the lunar calendar.  He praised: "This methodsp; Yang Manuo said: "This emperor knows astronomy."

    Ai Julius said: "His knowledge of Confucianism and mathematics is also very profound. When I communicated with him, I tried to instill theological ideas. Although he didn't get angry, he interrupted me many times. This emperor has his own firm belief. I  I suggest that you study the "Datong Collection" carefully to see if you can integrate theology with "Datong Collection."

    "Yes, you must do what you like." Yang Manuo said.

    But Long Huamin was very unhappy: "If you do this, the Pope will be furious!"

    Yang Manuo said: "The truth must be concealed from the Pope, otherwise, the Chinese emperor will definitely be angered, and missionary work may be completely banned."

    "The observer is already on the ship to Rome, how could it be hidden?" Long Huamin shook his head.

    Observers are similar to imperial envoys sent by the Pope to inspect the situation in various parishes.

    Don't look at Zhao Han's radical burning of missionary books, but they are all books containing the words of God and God, and it is allowed to translate it as God normally.

    However, the Pope of Rome is very outrageous, and has not allowed Chinese believers to worship their ancestors and worship Confucius.

    In particular, the prohibition of believers worshiping ancestors has caused many riots in China. The Nanjing religious case also came about in this way, which led to Emperor Wanli ordering a complete ban on religion.

    ?The missionaries who came to China can be said to suffer from splints, facing the pressure of the Pope on the one hand and the emperor of China on the other.

    The next time observers return to China, they are likely to bring orders from the Pope, and then they will make a mess again.

    Really pissed off Zhao Han, churches all over the place had to be demolished.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 393【Racing horses and enclosing land】

    Zhao Han came out rarely, and took Liu Rushi around the Yuhua Terrace.

    Liu Rushi entered the palace half a month ago. Like Fei Rumei, there was no special ceremony.  The traditional six ceremonies are still the same, but the emperor does not need to appear in person to welcome the relatives, just go to meet the queen the next day.

    Walking to one place, I found many stone carvings, which at first glance were the tombs of some officials.  Zhao Han said with a smile, "This tomb is well built."

    Liu Rushi moved to the Shinto stele, carefully identified it and said: "This is the tomb of Li Jie, the general and governor of the early Ming Dynasty. The inscription was written by Song Qianxi (Song Lian) at the order of Ming Taizu."

    Zhao Han approached and looked at it carefully, and commented: "Dignified and steady, it is indeed the best calligraphy in the epitaph."

    Liu Rushi asked people to bring their outfits with them, took out professional equipment, and personally rubbed the inscriptions.  She said with a smile: "Song Qianxi's regular script has two styles: elegant and graceful, dignified and calm, and the inscription should be written calmly."

    Zhao Han was watching from the side. Song Lian had a lot of inscriptions handed down from generation to generation, so he didn't think it was necessary to rub the epitaph.

    On the other hand, Zijin Mountain outside the inner city can build an observatory.

    Today, there are two observatories in Nanjing, one in Yuhuatai and the other in Jiming Mountain, both of which are too close to the downtown area.  Just taking advantage of the fact that it has been abandoned and re-selected for construction, Zijin Mountain is a good place for stargazing.

    After finishing the inscription, Liu Rushi continued to wander around with Zhao Han.

    The few hills near here are full of messy monuments, and there are some pavilions for resting and enjoying the scenery.

    Zhao Han even saw a stele of eunuchs, which was jointly erected by the eunuchs of Nanjing Sili.

    It may be a cultural relic a few hundred years later, but now it is useless, just engraved with the names of dozens of eunuchs.

    Liu Rushi was in a happy mood, wandering around, rubbing inscriptions of famous people when he saw them.  After finishing the work, he said: "Guo Zhang's calligraphy has been very popular in Nanjing in recent years. One of the writing methods is also called 'Fei Ti'. It is said that it was inspired by the husband. Is this true?"

    "Hahaha," Zhao Han laughed, "It does have something to do with me."

    When Zhao Han just crossed, he used Qi Gong to fool Fei Yinghuan.

    Over the past ten years, Fei Yinghuan has developed his own set of calligraphy on the basis of Qigong style, which strictly follows the golden ratio.  Although some people like it, there are more people who spray it. "Fei Ti" is also called "waste body". Beginners who practice Fei Ti can make themselves useless.

    In the past two years, Fei Ti has been able to be sought after, mostly because of his status as the head of the country.

    Swimming in the middle of the afternoon, the two went down the mountain together.  Zhao Han went back to work, while Liu Rushi went to the Imperial Academy to continue compiling dictionaries.

    This set of dictionaries, as well as pinyin, is estimated to be printed in the spring of next year.

    Back in the office, there were already a lot of memorials, and there were several manuscripts beside them.

    "What is this?" Zhao Han asked, pointing to the manuscript.

    Hu Cao Shizhong replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, they are all medical books on epidemic diseases."

    A plague broke out in Shandong in the first half of the year. Zhao Han immediately mobilized famous doctors from all over the country to go to the border areas of the territory to treat the people in the territory under his jurisdiction, as well as those who secretly crossed the border.

    After controlling their territory, some doctors even took the initiative to go to the affected areas in Shandong.

    Zhao Han opened the manuscript of his first medical book, titled "On the Plague", written by Wu Youxing, with decent characters.

    Zhao Han has no understanding of Chinese medicine, and he doesn't know that this gentleman is the originator of the plague school.

    Historically, there was a great famine in the south of the Yangtze River, and corpses were everywhere, which finally caused a plague in the south of the Yangtze River.

    The plague broke out, and there were more than a hundred houses in one lane, and none of them survived; there were dozens of people in one door, and none of them survived.

    Wu Youke treated the plague in the south of the Yangtze River and summed up a set of "On Epidemic Epidemic".  He believes that the plague is caused by plague, which can be transmitted through the mouth and nose, and that the disease occurs in the original place of the membrane that is not on the outside, and the traditional medicine for treating the inside and outside is difficult to work.

    In addition, Wu Youke invented a mask by himself. After boiling silk cloth in boiling water, he distributed it to doctors and common people, and he had to wear it when he went out.

    Wu Youke's "Plague Qi Theory" was initially opposed by many famous doctors, but the curative effect was very significant.  Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu, who led the troops stationed there, have already ordered the promotion and allocated a large number of military doctors to Wu Youke as students.

    After reading several related memorials, Zhao Han immediately issued an order to appoint Wu Youkei as "Chief Medical Officer of Epidemic Prevention in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, and Shandong Provinces".

    During the epidemic, local governments, military forces, and doctors must fully cooperate with Wu Youke's work.

    At the same time, it is ordered to switch to an improved version of the mask.

    The so-called improved mask is the cotton mask of later generations.  When Zhao Han received the news of the epidemic, he asked people to make it. As a result, most people didn't take it seriously, and even doctorsbsp; The plague has already spread to Beijing, driving away the Han people in the inner city is also to reduce the population and slow down the spread of the plague.

    "Master, we're here." The servant shouted.

    Hong Chengchou got off the sedan chair and walked into the new mansion, which was bestowed upon him by Dorgon.

    Walking in the yard, Hong Chengchou found many bloodstains.

    These bloodstains were only washed with water casually, and they were not wiped off at all. They were covered in dust and had solidified into black.

    The Manchus occupied the inner city, and the Han ministers lived in the outer city.

    As for the original owners of the houses in the outer city, those who have big houses almost have no good end.  It's nothing more than expulsion and killing, vacating the house and giving it to officials like Hong Chengchou to live in.

    Not long after, the servant ran over again and said, "My lord, the well water at home is probably undrinkable. Someone threw it into the well, and it already stinks."

    "Buy water to drink." Hong Chengchou sighed.

    At the gate of the outer city, there are also banner people selecting young and strong.

    Those who are strong and handsome are selected to be house slaves and maidservants.

    These are basically the minor nobles and military officers of the Eight Banners. They have just been allocated houses in the inner city, and they still lack servants.  The homeless people who were driven out of the inner city, if they want to live, they can choose whatever they want.  There is no need to pay wages, just a meal.

    The horse staking near the outskirts of Beijing had already begun. A large number of gentry were expelled from their homes, and the common people stayed to work as serfs for the Manchu nobles.

    A gentry family, dragging their families, wanted to escape to the south for refuge.

    A group of Manchu cavalry rushed over, and these guys were about to siege the land.  Seeing that the gentry had a lot of money when they moved, the officer immediately became jealous, and the officer shouted: "These are spies from the south, men, old and young, all killed!"

    The hungry wolf-like Manchu cavalry charged forward excitedly.

    They killed old men, men, and children, plundered young women, and plundered the goods of the gentry.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 394 [Royal Father and Regent]

    Li Zicheng's troops consisted of five battalions, front, back, left, middle, and right. He only took three of them to Beijing.

    The rest of the troops were thrown in Shanxi and Henan.

    In addition, there are also many Ming border troops who, after surrendering to Li Zicheng, stationed in Xuanfu, Datong, Miyun and other places.

    Li Zicheng took the initiative to evacuate from Beizhili, and wanted to throw this foodless land to the Manchu Qing to clean up the mess.  On the other hand, he returned to Shanxi, so that he could manage Shanxi and Henan, and eat up all of Shaanxi by the way.

    Then, Li Zicheng misunderstood Man Qing's reaction.

    After Huang Taiji entered the customs and occupied Beijing, he immediately wooed the gentry, reused Han officials, and paid lightly to the people.  At the same time, a large army was sent to pursue Shanxi frantically, and Li Zicheng was caught off guard and lost a lot of logistics along the way.

    Moreover, Huang Taiji sent a partial division to attack Datong and Yulin directly from Beijing.

    Persuade surrender along the way, and make a wish to the Ming border general who surrendered to Li Zicheng.  Eight marquises were sealed in one breath, and many of these border generals were allowed to continue to lead troops to ensure their floating wealth and land in the border town.

    As a result, the Manchu Qing partial division with only 8,000 people persuaded the Daming Frontier Army of more than 40,000 people to surrender.

    ?They fought from Beijing to Yulin, and from Yulin to Yan'an, and finally the army surrounded Xi'an, cutting off Li Zicheng's retreat.

    Another branch of the division entered Henan from Beijing, recruiting and surrendering bandits along the way.  It was another official appointment to make a wish, and a large number of Henan local uprising troops, including the local gentry regiment training troops, abandoned Li Zicheng and threw themselves into the embrace of the Qing Dynasty.

    The Manchu and Qing troops on South Road also had fewer than 10,000 troops, but when they reached Luoyang, there were 60,000 to 70,000 Han troops.

    The reason why the two Manchu and Qing divisions recruited and surrendered so smoothly was purely because Li Zicheng did not have the "popular support".

    Those Han forces who took refuge in the Qing Dynasty can be summed up in three types: frontier soldiers, rebels, and gentry.

    Li Zicheng did not give any benefits to the frontier soldiers, only let them temporarily garrison the border town, and restrained them not to harm the people.  Many rebels in Henan were not regarded as confidantes by Li Zicheng because they rebelled too late, and even ordered the leader of the rebels to disband the army.  The gentry hated Li Zicheng even more, wishing Li Zicheng would die sooner.

    As soon as the Manchu Qing Dynasty came, they appointed officials and made a wish, and these people were not prohibited from looting. The conditions were extremely generous, how could they not be willing to submit?

    As for the main force of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they approached Taiyuan from Guguan to fight a decisive battle with Li Zicheng's main force.

    Wu Sangui, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Zu Dashou and other Han army flags, due to their eagerness to perform meritorious service, erupted with terrifying combat effectiveness.  Especially the firearms unit of the Han army, which made Li Zicheng dizzy.  Wu Sangui led the remaining Guanning iron cavalry, and three thousand cavalry dared to charge into the formation of tens of thousands of cavalry.

    Li Zicheng suffered a disastrous defeat in Taiyuan!

    Facing the three-way invasion of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, Li Zicheng, who was defeated after the defeat, became a bandit again, leading only thousands of elites to escape into the border of Shaanxi.

    Luo Rucai, the living Cao Cao, fell out with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng successively, and later went to war with the Datong Army.  Facing the surrender of the Qing Dynasty, he also chose to resist resolutely. After a fiasco, he killed dozens of his concubines and fled to Shaanxi with the remnants.

    Man Qing was busy rectifying the capital while chasing Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai in Shaanxi.

    ?Huang Taiji possessed great talent and general plan, obeyed Hong Chengchou's words, promulgated a series of good governance, and vigorously promoted Han officials.

    Then, Huang Taiji contracted the plague and died.

    ? Among the Eight Banners stationed in Beijing, two to three thousand people were infected with the plague.  Nearly 100,000 people in Beijing were infected with the plague!

    Beijing, the outer city.

    "Father, Xue Binting (Xue Guoguan) is dead." Hou Fangyu said.

    Hou Xun asked, "How did you die?"

    Hou Fangyu said: "If you starve to death, the whole family will starve to death."

    Hou Xun was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and sighed.

    When Hou Xun served as Minister of the Household Department for Chongzhen, for several consecutive years, he basically did nothing.  The only thing he accomplished was that during his tenure, he successfully prevented Chongzhen from increasing the faction, and he never raised taxes once.

    Li Zicheng passed by his house and forcibly recruited him to be an official, but Hou Xun also did nothing.

    Now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is in charge of Beijing, Hou Xun still eats vegetarian meals in his corpse.

    Xue Guoguan used to be Hou Xun's political enemy. Now that he heard that his whole family was starved to death, Hou Xun's mood is extremely complicated.

    In this time and space, Xue Guoguan is the last Chief Assistant of Ming Dynasty!

    Li Zicheng handcuffed Xue Guoguan's several million taels of silver.  At that time, Xue Guoguan was beaten to half his life. Seeing Man Qing coming, Xue Guoguan knelt down to welcome him.

    However, Hong Chengchou said: "Da Ming died at the hands of this man!"

    When Huang Taiji heard this, he called Xue Guosp; Of course, it is the separation between Hauge and the banner owners of each banner, especially Jierhalang, the owner of the Xianglan Banner.

    During the epidemic, the Manchu Qing seldom held court meetings, and Dorgon directly appointed Hou Xun as the governor of Shandong.

    This is a routine operation after the Qing Dynasty enters the customs.

    Let the main force attack the ministers along the way, and then send Han officials to serve as governors, responsible for recruiting and surrendering officials, bandits and rebels from various prefectures and counties.

    When Hong Chengchou heard the news that Hou Xun and his son were about to leave Beijing, he suddenly felt something was wrong.

    Shandong is the center of the plague, so Hou Xun went to recruit Zuo Liangyu?

    I'm afraid I'm trying to get away with it!

    However, Hong Chengchou dared not speak out, because his relationship with Dorgon was not very harmonious yet.

    In other words, Hong Chengchou also planned to sneak away.

    In Hong Chengchou's eyes, Huang Taiji belongs to the wise master, but Dorgon is mentally retarded!

    If the south is the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Hong Chengchou has full confidence to settle it.  But Zhao Han is the emperor in the south, and the world created by one sword and one gun is full of the current broken state, how can it be possible to stabilize the country?

    Hong Chengchou has to leave a way out for himself, his family is all in Fujian, and he also wants Ye Luo to return to his roots.

    After much deliberation, Hong Chengchou decided to see off Hou and his son.

    Outside Beijing, a large number of homeless people have been deported dozens of miles away to prevent them from spreading the plague in Beijing.

    On both sides of the official road, the land is barren.

    Many farmers are weeding and plowing the land, and there will be rain after autumn, so they can replant some grain.  They are now serfs, and all the food they grow must be handed over to the Eight Banners nobles.  As for how much you can keep for yourself to eat, it all depends on the wishes of the masters.

    Hong Chengchou clasped his hands and said: "Brother Dazhen is going to Shandong, and I am waiting for the good news."

    "The reward of eating the king, the matter of being loyal to the king, it's all about doing your best." Hou Xun said with a smile.

    Hong Chengchou looked at Hou Fangyu again: "My nephew has a lot of friends in the south, and I must have many old friends in Shandong."

    Hou Fangyu's heart suddenly said, "Where is it?"

    Hong Chengchou said: "My nephew, if you meet an old friend in the south, you can also greet him for me."

    Hou Fangyu cupped his hands and said, "Definitely!"

    The three of them tacitly bid farewell.

    After returning home, Hong Chengchou suddenly received an imperial decree, and Dorgon resumed his duties in the Ming Dynasty.  At the same time, he entered the inner court to assist in military affairs, was awarded the bachelor of the secretarial academy, and became the first Han prime minister in the Qing Dynasty.

    Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and then understood Dorgon's intention.

    Dorgon is trying to win over Hong Chengchou, so as to control those Han generals who surrendered, and recruit all the Han generals to Dorgon's command.

    I have to say that Dorgon is not good at anything else, but he is good at engaging in political struggles.

    Afterwards, Dorgon promoted the titles of the banner owners of each banner.  The titles are already top-ranked, so give them more land.  Especially Hauge's supporter and rival, Dorgon offered various rewards.

    In just one month, Hao Ge betrayed his relatives.

    Another trumped-up charge was found, and Hauge was convicted and confiscated, and he was immediately relieved of his military power.

    In this way, Dorgon took control of Manqing, and then purged Hauge's hardcore followers.  Being suppressed by the Eight Banners nobles, they couldn't help but say strange things, so gossip spread everywhere.

    The Han officials were dumbfounded when they heard that the emperor's father, the regent, stayed overnight in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and that the emperor was the regent's own son.

    (Two updates today and three updates tomorrow.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 395【Preparation for war】

    Run, or stay?

    Dorgon suddenly added an official to Hong Chengchou and became the only Han Prime Minister in the Qing Dynasty, instantly confirming his status as the world's number one traitor.

    This made Hong Chengchou a little confused, even if he was doing trouble in the north, even if he made a great contribution in secret, in the future, he would be forced by fierce discussions, could the emperor in the south really forgive him?

    Certainly not!

    ? You must leave immediately, sneak away to Nanjing, and show your identity.  If you leave a few months later, the yellow mud will fall into your crotch, whether it's shit or shit, it's hard to tell anyway.

    Hong Chengchou secretly sorted out his belongings and prepared to take his two confidants with him, so he ran away at night during this time.

    Can't go south from Shandong, where the epidemic is serious and it's too dangerous.  You can enter Henan from Beizhili. Although there are Qing soldiers everywhere along the way, you should be able to escape if you disguise yourself.

    You can't bring too much money, a hundred taels of silver and a few dozen catties of grain are enough.

    While Hong Chengchou was busy, the slave knocked on the door outside and shouted: "Master, it's not good, our house is surrounded by soldiers. There are soldiers outside several doors. They say they are here to guard the master, and they are from various courtyards."  There are soldiers walking up and down the walls."

    "This Dorgon oh, that's all, that's all!"

    The world line ended again, and Hong Chengchou received the same treatment.

    Historically, after Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji was also heavily guarded.  Because of his special status, he has served as the governor of the five provinces, the governor of Xuanda, and the governor of Jiliao. Many of the Ming border generals were his former ministries.

    Hong Chengchou went out immediately, and went straight to Dorgon's mansion in a sedan chair.

    "My lord, immediately lead the troops to hunt down the Hou family and his son!" Hong Chengchou said when they met.

    Dorgon asked in confusion: "Why kill them?"

    Hong Chengchou explained: "They must go to Shandong to persuade Zuo Liangyu to join the Nanjing court. If Zuo Liangyu can't be persuaded, they can go to Nanjing by themselves."

    Dorgon still doesn't fully trust Hong Chengchou now. After thinking about it, he recruited his subordinates and said: "Send two more Niulu to catch up with the governor of Shandong. They must be closely protected and must not leave the governor. If the governor of Shandong betrays him, he will be punished immediately.  Catch them back to Beijing, if you don't get them back, you'll kill them!"

    Two Niulu, twenty soldiers, supervised Hou Xun around the clock.

    Hong Chengchou continued: "How does the prince view the Nanjing court?"

    Dorgon said with a smile: "If you win Beijing, you will be the king of the world. After tomorrow's summer harvest, after the wheat is harvested, I will personally lead the army to march south!"

    Hong Chengchou said: "My lord, the livelihood of the people in the north is poor, but the people in the south are rich. Zhao Han can be defeated ten times, and he can regain his strength. When our army first entered the Central Plains, many surrendered troops were uncertain, and there was not much food and people.  I have to go back to Liaodong next time."

    "Li Zicheng swept across the north, but he was completely defeated by my Manchurian soldiers? Zhao Han, who looks like a good soldier, is actually nothing to be afraid of." Dorgon really didn't take Zhao Han seriously.

    Hong Chengchou persuaded: "My lord must not underestimate the enemy, we cannot afford to lose. The frontier army of the Ming Dynasty first surrendered Li Zicheng, and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention our army's defeat, but to say that the two sides are at a stalemate. These frontier troops may switch to the south.  "

    "That's right," Dorgon is not a fool, "If you can't win quickly, these subordinates are likely to turn against you again."

    Hong Chengchou said: "First soldiers approached Shandong and forced Zuo Liangyu to surrender."

    "Will he really surrender?" Dorgon was not sure.

    Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Zuo Liangyu has been unable to surrender to Zhao Han for a long time, because he is reluctant to give up the military power in his hands. Now that there is a big epidemic in Shandong, its soldiers are weak, and our army is overwhelming. Zuo Liangyu must ask for help from Nanjing. Before that, he could  Make him the King of Dingnan, order him to lead the army in Shandong, and spread the news to the world."

    "In this way, Zuo Liangyu can be surrendered?" Dorgon asked.

    Hong Chengchou said with a smile: "Zuo Liangyu has always had two sides, and he is not worthy of trust. When the news came out that the Qing Dynasty made him king, how dare Nanjing send troops to rescue him? It would be good if he didn't beat him! This person has never expressed his attitude  , I just want to get more benefits from both sides. Da Qing sent troops to fight him, and at the same time gave him enough benefits, he can only surrender to me Da Qing."

    Dorgon nodded and said, "That's good."

    Hong Chengchou said again: "However, beware of this person's defection. Even if he becomes the prince of the Qing Dynasty, I may betray the Qing Dynasty at any time. I want to find an opportunity to escort him to Beijing for house arrest and keep his prince. Then he canonize him  The eldest son is the eldest son, and he made a wish for his generals to be appointed officials, so that he can truly control Shandong."

    Dorgon praised: "Sir, you really know the old officials of Ming Dynasty like the back of your hand."

    Hong Chengchou put away his smile, and said with a serious face: "Before next year's summer harvest, we willThe Navy forced North Korea to trade grain with Dongjiang Town.  In this way, Dongjiang Town only needs silver to maintain, and food can be purchased from North Korea.  "

    "Then form the eleventh division!" Zhao Han said.

    There is no way, the move of Manchu troops to move forces Zhao Han to expand his army on a large scale.

    The Manchus also had no choice, they were afraid that Zhao Han would suddenly cross the border and send troops, so they had to stock up on the border with heavy troops.

    No one trusts anyone, and negotiations are impossible.

    Fortunately, Zhao Han has a large number of farmers and soldiers in his hands, and he is also producing weapons and equipment every year, so he can expand his army and prepare for war on a large scale at any time.

    The regular soldiers of the Datong Army will soon be expanded into eleven divisions, each with 10,000 people, plus other troops and cavalry, Zhao Han's regular army finally exceeds 120,000.

    This number is comparable to the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    Xu Ying suddenly said: "Let's raise the conditions for surrender. I'll send someone to recruit soldiers from the Ming Dynasty to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Zuo Liangyu can be a Marquis, as long as he surrenders Shandong!"

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully: "You can try it."

    (There is a map of easter egg chapters at the end of the chapter, which is very rough. Can any expert help to make a more exquisite one?) Genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Text 396【Guangxi Cubing】

    Hong Chengchou suggested to Dorgon to send troops next summer to see when the wheat will be harvested.

    After repeated discussions, Zhao Han decided to send troops in the spring!

    Because the land of the Datong Army can grow winter wheat.  After the winter wheat is planted, farmers and civilians will be recruited directly in northern Hubei, northern Anhui, northern Jiangsu, Runing, and Nanyang to cooperate with the regular army of Datong in the spring battle, so that the farming season will not be delayed.

    In northern Henan, Hebei, Shanxi, Shanxi and other regions, spring wheat is being sown at this time.

    Zhao Han suddenly sent troops in spring, which happened to be the farming season of Manchu.  The Qing Dynasty had to mobilize a large number of peasants, which made it impossible for farmers to sow wheat.

    Even if Zhao Han loses this battle, as long as he does not lose too badly, the Manchu Qing will be seriously injured, and the wheat production of that year must have been severely reduced!

    Don't look at the vast territory of Manqing, in fact, it is impossible to control the countryside at all.

    Even, small counties cannot be controlled, and many remote small counties are still governed by the civil servants left by Li Zicheng.

    This kind of local control has a lot of room for manipulation, and Xu Ying can send countless spies to Henan!

    In addition, Xu Ying also sent people to Shaanxi to try to contact Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai.

    As long as the Datong army and the Manchu Qing army fought, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai would be able to take the opportunity to start an incident in Shaanxi.  There are still tens of thousands of elites left, and it is no problem to attack the city.

    At that time, Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were making troubles in Shaanxi, and Zhao Han went straight to Liaodong from Dongjiang Town. The two battlefields behind the enemy were enough to drink a pot.

    Zhao Han's peasants and soldiers are equivalent to reserve forces. They can be assembled at the front line in two months, and can be trained on the battlefield in one month.  He seemed to have few soldiers, but in fact he had a lot of them. If it wasn't for the lack of food, he would explode another 200,000 soldiers every minute.

    This battle has a great chance of winning

    Guangxi, Pingyuefu.

    ?From the perspective of the population composition of the entire Guangxi, the Zhuang nationality is 50%, the Yao nationality is 30%, and the Han nationality is 20%.

    However, Pingyuefu is very special. The Zhuang nationality accounts for less than 20%, and most of them immigrated from other places.  They have a collective title called "Dongqian Cubing".

    俍bing, that is, wolf soldiers.

    The Yao people in Pingyuefu often rebelled, and it was difficult for the Ming court to suppress them, so a large number of Zhuang soldiers were moved here.  Choose a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and let the soldiers set up a stronghold to garrison the fields, surround the settlements of the Yao people with the garrison army, and separate the Yao people from the Han people.

    Most of the Zhuang people in Pingyuefu are military immigrants, and their existence value is to suppress the Yao people.

    Not only that, Han officials also deliberately provoked conflicts between Zhuang and Yao, making Zhuang and Yao form a feud, so that they can rule very easily.

    However, at the end of Ming Dynasty, the situation changed.

    The Zhuang people took the initiative to make peace with the Yao people, and even became relatives by marriage.  A large number of Yao people who were separated, as well as Han people who lost their land, and Zhuang people who had no land to cultivate, formed villages to reclaim barren hills, and truly realized the national integration of Han, Zhuang and Yao.

    These mixed villages have become the key development targets of the Datong Army.

    ?After half a year of action, the Datong Army finally occupied He County, and recruited the soldiers from Diandeng Village, wiped out the soldiers from Daning Village, and completed the work of organizing households and dividing land in He County.

    A regular division only took down half a county in half a year, mainly because of the terrain, and because the soldiers were disgusting.

    After the main force of the Cu soldiers was dispersed, they played guerrilla warfare in the mountains with seven of them.

    Poisoned arrows are hard to guard against, they may emerge from the woods at any time, and more than 30 members of the peasant association alone died.

    It was already early winter, and the Datong Army continued to attack.

    They had just received a military order, and the unit designation was changed to the Tenth Division of the Datong Army, and Liu Xinyu, who was from Hunan, was promoted as the division commander.  This person is a traitor in Hunan, who brought two states and four counties to submit to Zhao Han, and then followed Zhang Tieniu to fight in Guangdong to make meritorious service.

    The chief mission officer of the Tenth Division was Ding Jiasheng, who was also a traitor. He practiced the secrets of "Da Tong Ji" by himself, and took Duchang County to defect to Zhao Han.

    10,000 officers and soldiers of the Datong Army, with more than a thousand soldiers and many civilian husbands, marched by land and water to kill Bian Pengzhai.

    Bianpeng Village is located not far from the northwest of Zhongshan County in later generations, facing the river and backing the mountains, so it is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

    The head of the Cubing village of Liangfeng Village had already captured Pingyuefu City, gathered the leaders of the Chubing villages to make himself king, and also had some Han and Yao forces attached to him.

    They even brought down Yangshuo County along the river.

    If it weren't for the threat of the Datong Army from the rear, these soldiers would probably have captured Guilin!

    This time it is going to be a decisive battle, and the place is Bianpeng Village.

    There is also the Bianpeng Village area in He County, which is a rare grain-producing area in Pingle Prefecture.  There are basins between mountains and rivers for ?Charge quickly.

    The rattan player of the Datong Army raised his shield to cover the friendly army.

    In fact, it’s not a big problem if you don’t cover. The bows and crossbows of the soldiers are relatively poor, and the power is not very great. After wearing the armor, it is enough not to be shot at the vitals.

    The real thing to be afraid of is the poisonous arrow!

    "Throw a gun!"

    After another charge, the javeliners charged and threw their javelins.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    A small number of firecrackers from the Zubing also started shooting. After shooting, they immediately drew their swords and rushed forward.

    More than 20 people from the Datong Army fell, half of whom were shot by javelins.  The rest were hit by a poisoned arrow, and they didn't know what kind of poison it was. They had chest tightness, shortness of breath, weakness all over, and the toxin exploded very quickly.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The last round of shelling, this time it was shotgun shells, and it was a large area with one blast.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    3500 Datong firecrackers, 20-step ultra-short-range bursts.

    Of the 2,500 Datong dragoons, 1,000 were sent out to deal with the local cavalry, and the rest chased and shot again.

    After all, Zu Bing is also a human being, facing such terrifying firepower, tens of thousands of people collapsed immediately.

    Wei Changyi wasn't dead yet, he was still rushing forward with the rest of his troops.  He felt that as long as he rushed to close combat, the Datong army would definitely be defeated, and the Datong army was nothing but powerful firearms.

    "The grenadier!"

    Five hundred grenadiers with super-long arms and strong physiques threw tens of thousands of enemies at the rushing soldiers.

    The rattan players, wolf gunners, and spearmen are also on standby, and the firecrackers retreat to put on their bayonets.

    There was no need for melee combat anymore, the leader of the bandit, Wei Changyi, was blown to death by tens of thousands of enemies, and all the remaining soldiers turned and fled.

    The dragoons put away their guns, drew their knives and rushed over to kill them. Any enemy who did not put down their weapons and surrendered would be killed with one blow.

    The Datong Army suffered a lot, and the casualties in guerrilla warfare in the mountains were far greater than those in frontal combat.

    After attacking Pingyue Mansion for half a year, they were finally able to take all of them.  The leader of the bandits, Wei Changyi, was killed in battle, and most of the other leaders of the soldiers would choose to raise their villages and surrender.

    Here in Guangxi, it's really hard to fight!

    Ethnic issues are also extremely complex, and governance must be done step by step.

    After winning Pingle Mansion, the next step is Guilin Mansion and Liuzhou Mansion.

    In the absence of sufficient food and grass, it is estimated that Guangxi will continue to fight for one or two years.  Each time troops are sent to occupy one or two prefectures, and then civil affairs are quickly carried out. The local area has accumulated enough food before dispatching troops.

    Guangxi is so difficult, but Sichuan is very smooth.

    Huang Yao and Qin Liangyu have sent troops together to attack Wang Xiang in Chongqing Mansion with Yang Zhan.

    The sooner you take Sichuan, the sooner you will get a grain-producing area. There is always a lot of grain in the Sichuan Basin.  Especially the Chengdu Plain, the land of abundance!

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 397 [Five Emperors Coexisting] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Zhongyuan 4338, Chongzhen 14th year, winter.

    The Yellow Emperor's chronology should have been "Kaiyuan". In order to avoid confusion with the Tang Dynasty, Zhao Hunter ordered the name to be changed to "Zhongyuan".

    Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai broke out again without Zhao Han contacting them.

    They first escaped from Shaanxi and quickly captured Gansu Town.  They mobilized the soldiers in Bianzhen to fight for wages, killed the border generals in Gansu Town, expanded the army to 30,000, and marched into Shaanxi again on snow and ice.

    The Shaanxi frontier general who surrendered to the Manchu Qing robbed the gentry everywhere in order to raise military rations.

    Not only did the Manchus condone this, the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Shaanxi even joined the robbery gang themselves.

    Ever since, after Li Zicheng and Luo Rucai were killed, a large number of gentry recruited Xiangyong to follow.  The Shaanxi gentry actually cooperated with Li Zicheng to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and many gentry scattered their wealth to recruit soldiers!

    Between ten and a month, Li Zicheng captured Lintao Mansion, Taozhou Guard, Jinglu Guard, Minzhou Guard, Ningxia Zhongwei, Gongchang Mansion and Pingliang Mansion.

    Li Zicheng once again occupied half of Shaanxi, and is now storming Hanzhong!

    This is the evil result of the rapid expansion of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which has no control over the local area.  After mobilizing the main force to go to Henan, a group of surrendered soldiers and generals could not withstand Li Zicheng's counterattack at all.  Many gentry who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty under pressure, even the Ming border generals, chose to join Li Zicheng again.

    In desperation, Dorgon could only dispatch 20,000 Eight Banners troops, and immediately went to Shaanxi to fight against Li Zicheng.

    Sichuan is also fighting in winter.

    Huang Yao and Qin Liangyu jointly dispatched troops, and the generals guarding the two counties of Fuzhou (Fuling) and Changshou surrendered directly.

    After winning Changshou, the magistrate of Dianjiang County in the northeast even sent officers to ask Huang Yao to divide his troops to take over Dianjiang.

    This magistrate of Dianjiang County is actually an official of Daming, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, no one has been beating him

    Huang Yao sent 300 farmers and soldiers over there, and sent the accompanying officials to divide the fields.

    With the expansion of the territory, the most indispensable thing now is officials.  A large number of reserve officials are waiting to be regularized, a large number of official officials are waiting for promotion, and many scholars are looking forward to fighting.

    Even calls for the restoration of the imperial examinations were suppressed by these officials.

    Laozi has worked so hard to get promoted, so why should he rush to resume the imperial examination?  Could it be that you are asked to go to the Jinshi examination, various airborne officials, squatting on my head every minute to shit?

    Not only businessmen and farmers support Zhao Han, but also the poor scholar class are also hardcore supporters of Zhao Han.

    They have long been hopeless in the imperial examination, and even have no money to continue to take the exam.  Under Zhao Han's rule, it was easy to become an official. Those with strong abilities could become officials within a year or two, and those with poor abilities could slowly rise up.

    These people are the main body of scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and many of them were even tested to hate stereotyped scholars!

    ?For example, Feng Houdun, the magistrate of Changshou County who just took office, although he was born in a well-to-do family, he also extremely dislikes stereotyped candidates.  After spending half of his life, he had to spend money to buy an official, and he only worked as a Jiangyin teacher, that is, a teaching assistant in the official school of Jiangyin County.

    ? When Zhao Han occupied Jiangnan, Feng Houdun signed up as a reserve official, and now he has been promoted to a seventh-rank county magistrate.

    In Daming, he would never even think about becoming an official as a teaching assistant until he died.

    However, although he did not become an official in history, he was known as the "Three Dukes of Anti-Qing Dynasty".

    ? Jiangyin County, which had already surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because of Dorgon's "hair shaving order", a group of scholars made a blood alliance and expressed that they would rather have their heads cut off than cut off their hair.

    The scholars killed the magistrates and elected Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun as leaders, and the whole city officials and people united to resist the Qing Dynasty.

    ?The 120,000 Jiangyin volunteers, facing tens of thousands of Qing troops, were trapped in the isolated city for 81 days. They dared to go out of the city to fight on the way, and were finally bombarded by artillery to collapse the city wall.

    On the day the city was broken, no one surrendered, fighting all over the streets, and only 53 people, old and young, lived in the city.

    After being captured, Yan Yingyuan refused to kneel down, was pierced through the tibia, and died heroically.

    Chen Mingyu fought hard and died after the city was broken.

    Feng Houdun hanged himself facing the direction of the small imperial court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.

    According to history, Jiangyin was eighty-one days.

    Although it is not like the unofficial history said, the three kings and eighteen generals were killed.  But there were indeed three Manchu princes who came to supervise the battle, namely Boluo, Nikan and Kong Youde.

    ?As the saying goes: Dai Fa is loyal on the 80th day, representing the people of the seventeen dynasties of the Taizu;

    Chen Mingyu and Feng Houdun in "Three Lords Against the Qing Dynasty" are now serving as civil servants under Zhao Han's command.

    ?There is still Yan Yingyuan, the commander-in-chief of the 81st Jiangyin, who is currently dormant.

    After Feng Houdun took office in Changshou County, he immediately led the accompanying officials to settle the rule in the city first.  Then with the Farmers AssociationSeeing that the situation was not good, Guoyu led the remaining warships to retreat voluntarily, landed at Chaotianmen Wharf and returned to the city, so frightened that they didn't even dare to take the warships.

    "How dare you flee with your troops!" Wang Xiang was furious.

    Lu Guoyu roared: "Aren't you going to run and wait for the whole army to be wiped out? The opposite side is full of elite naval forces, with firecrackers and artillery. I only have a group of boatmen and coolies under my command. Not to mention firecrackers and artillery, I don't even have many bows and arrows.  How does the prince want me to fight?"

    Wang Xiang pressed the handle of the knife, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Lead the troops to defend the city together!"

    The Lu family is a big family in Chongqing, not only has a lot of land, but also has a big business, Wang Xiang really dare not kill randomly.

    Gu Jianshan, the commander of the Datong Navy, came to Sichuan to fight in person this time because he is a native of Sichuan.

    After winning the water battle, Gu Jianshan said with a smile: "Mr. Wang please."

    Wang Yingxi is Wang Yingxiong's younger brother. When the Datong Army conquered Nanjing, Wang Yingxi was vacationing in the prison in Nanjing. Now he is a bachelor of the Literature Museum of the Imperial Academy.

    This guy climbed up the stairs from Chaotianmen Wharf, stood at the bottom of the city and shouted: "I am Wang Yingxi, open the city and surrender!"

    Wang Xiang's face suddenly changed drastically, and he said that he was just a slave of the Wang family.  Even if one side is separated, it will rely on the power of the Wang family, and many Wang family members are still serving as officials and generals under him.

    Especially on the side of the Jinzi Gate, the person in charge of leading the troops to defend the city is Wang Yingxi's own son.

    Wang Xiang immediately led his troops to the Jinzi Gate, passing orders quietly on the way.

    After arriving at the Jinzi Gate, without any explanation, he hacked Wang Yingxi's son to death, and some troops in the city also attacked the Wang family.

    This guy quickly summoned the gentry and threatened: "Once the city is destroyed, the Datong army will confiscate your rural properties, and even ransack your homes and kill people, and take away your property in the city. If you want to keep your wealth, follow me to defend the city  , His Majesty (King of Shu) will definitely send troops to rescue!"

    It was impossible for Wang Xiang to surrender. He and Yang Zhan were mortal enemies, and he had conflicts with Qin Liangyu many times.

    Now, both Qin Liangyu and Yang Zhan have defected to Zhao Han, and he is afraid that after he surrenders, he will be killed by Yang Zhan's design.

    Yang Zhan is indeed brave, but has character flaws.  He is very kind to those he likes, and very cautious to those he doesn't like, even to the point of vengeance.

    Fan Yiheng was standing on the tower at the moment. He was Wang Xiang's military advisor and was the governor of Ningxia before his dismissal.

    In Fan Yiheng's view, the Emperor Longwu in Chengdu is just a joke, why not vote for the Emperor of Nanjing early, and resist?

    In the middle of the night, Fan Yiheng teamed up with the gentry and set fire to the city. He couldn't stand Wang Xiang, a rampant domestic slave!

    Just when Huang Yao captured Chongqing Mansion, the Mu family of Tianbo Mansion in Yunnan supported Min King Zhu Qifeng (a variant of Duo next to the gold character) as emperor.

    This King Min escaped from Hunan.

    The mountains in Yunnan are high and the roads are far away. It was not until winter that I learned the news that Chongzhen had hanged himself.  A group of survivors urged Qian Guogong Mu Tianbo to quickly support King Min as "Emperor Zhenwu" in Yunnan.

    At this moment, the five emperors of China coexist.

    Zhao Han, Emperor of Datong in Nanjing, Fulin, Emperor of Qing Dynasty in Beijing, Li Zicheng, Emperor of Dashun in Shaanxi, Zhu Zhishu, Emperor Longwu of Ming Dynasty in Sichuan, Zhu Qifeng, Emperor Zhenwu of Ming Dynasty in Yunnan (next to the gold characters).

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 398【Taking Chengdu】

    Wang Yingxi's family was killed, which made Huang Yao very speechless.

    In other words, even Wang Yingxi himself did not expect that Wang Xiang, who was born as a domestic slave, would dare to do it.

    Although Wang Xiang had his own soldiers, he was able to succeed in Chongqing thanks to the support of the Wang family.  He killed members of the Wang clan, firstly to ruin his own foundation, secondly, to drive the gentry and merchants in the city apart, and thirdly, to completely eliminate the possibility of surrender.

    This man is a psycho!

    "Get out of the way, the old man is going to kill him!" Wang Yingxi, wearing a scholar's robe from the Imperial Academy, rushed towards the captured Wang Xiang with a knife in his hand.

    Huang Yao hurriedly stopped him: "Old man, this person must be sentenced to death, but if it is not necessary, lynching is not allowed. Military judges will form a temporary court, and sir can be authorized to attend the trial."

    Wang Yingxi pointed at Wang Xiang with a knife, and roared angrily: "A thousand cuts, a thousand cuts!"

    Not only was Wang Xiang not afraid, but he laughed arrogantly: "Haha, my family is just a slave. I have been able to lead the army for more than ten years, and I have been the local emperor in Chongqing for two years. This life is already enough, and death is death.  Kill me now."

    The more Wang Yingxi heard it, the more angry he became: "You also know that you are a domestic slave. Without my Wang family, you would have starved to death long ago. Without my Wang family, how could you be a general of the Ming Dynasty? Without my Wang family, you can occupy this Chongqing mansion? Now  You killed the whole family of the Wang family, and you are so ungrateful, has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"

    Wang Xiang sneered: "Enyi? I'm just a dog raised by the Wang family. I don't want to be a dog for a long time!"

    "Put it on hold, and you will be tried tomorrow." Huang Yao didn't bother to listen.

    Under normal circumstances, military judges will not set up temporary courts when they are fighting.

    But Wang Xiang's actions were too bad. He not only resisted stubbornly, but also killed the whole family of the envoy who persuaded him to surrender.  If you don't hurry up and rectify the Fa on the spot, what do you make Wang Yingxi think?  What do the gentry and merchants in Chongqing government think?

    Historically, Wang Xiang's combat effectiveness was still very fierce.

    When Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan, only the Zunyi Mansion guarded by Wang Xiang was not occupied, and it became the military base for the Ming Dynasty to counterattack Sichuan.

    Then, Wang Xiang fought the Manchus again, defeated Doni and Wu Sangui, and took the opportunity to recover Chongqing, Luzhou, and Syria.

    Drive the Manqing out of Sichuan, and then start jumping around, embracing the self-respect, not listening to dispatch, attacking friendly troops, and expanding the territory.

    First he fought against the generals of Nanming, and then he fought against the rest of Zhang Xianzhong who returned to Shunnanming, and was even named Duke of Zhongguo by the Nanming court.  Finally, he angered Sun Kewang and sent Liu Wenxiu to defeat him. Wang Xiang was defeated and died by suicide.

    This kind of situation is very common in Nanming. Not only the civil officials fought among themselves, but also the generals fought among themselves

    After the recovery of Chongqing Prefecture, the counties of Chongqing Prefecture and Shunqing Prefecture surrendered in anticipation, and only Youyang chieftain was still hiding in the mountains and pretending to be deaf and dumb.

    Qin Liangyu led troops to conquer Tongchuan Prefecture. As soon as he arrived in Suining by boat, the general of Suining surrendered.

    ?The warlord who occupied Tongchuan was named Gan Liangchen, who was born in Wuju. He once served as the general soldier of Shanhaiguan.

    This person has a good relationship with Yang Zhan, and he is good at governing the people.  Coupled with his advanced age, he had no ambition to fight for hegemony at a young age, and seeing that his generals surrendered in Suining, he simply led his troops to join the Datong Army.

    So far, the Datong army has completely merged with Yang Zhan's territory, and the crisis of Yang Zhan being besieged by a group of princes has been resolved.

    At this time, it was the middle of winter, and Huang Yao temporarily suspended his troops to let the officials digest the newly occupied land.

    Half of Sichuan, along the Yangtze River, Kuizhou Prefecture, Chongqing Prefecture, Shunqing Prefecture, Xuzhou Prefecture, Jiading Prefecture, Luzhou, and Tongchuan Prefecture, all cities were planted with the flag of the Datong Army.  Fushun Saltworks finally got the surname Zhao.

    ? Huang Yao was the commander in chief, Qin Liangyu, Yang Zhan, and Gan Liangchen led troops to assist, and planned to take down Zunyi Mansion after the beginning of spring.

    However, the monarchs and ministers in Chengdu turned a deaf ear to this.

    King or not, ministers or ministers, they are all puppets.  Taking advantage of the news of Chongzhen's death, they joined forces with the Sichuan warlords to support the emperor and rule Sichuan in name, but they were unable to restrain generals from all over the place.

    As for those military generals, or princes and marquises, they are still fighting each other for territory!

    Chengdu.

    Fan Kuang, the envoy of the Datong Army, met Hou Tianxi, the number one warlord in Sichuan.

    Of course, Hou Tianxi's current identity is the supporter of Emperor Longwu of the Ming Dynasty, King Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty, Taishi, Shangzhu Kingdom, General Xuanwei, and Zuo Dudu of the rear army.

    "Is Mr. Fan here to persuade you to surrender?" Hou Tianxi asked.

    Fan Kuang said: "I dare not, I just want to ask the general to see the situation clearly."

    Hou Tianxi has no expression on his face: "I was born as a minister of the Ming Dynasty, and died as a ghost of the Ming Dynasty. His Majesty Chongzhen died, and His Majesty Longwu inherited the country. My ambition for the rest of my life is to assist His Majesty Longwu to rejuvenate Daming."bsp; Where the hell did this enemy come from?

    Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin and nephew Qin Yiming came to the city quickly.  Send people to shout to persuade them to surrender: "The Datong army has already broken through Mianzhou, and we are all pioneers. If you don't open the city and surrender, you will have no good end when the army arrives! Surrender quickly, and you will have the merit of dedicating the city!"

    Li Gande had already linked up with many civil officials, and immediately led the civil officials to persuade the guards, and invited Emperor Longwu to preside over the surrender.

    At this moment, Hou Tianxi was still in Qingshen County, confronting Huang Yao and Yang Zhan's army.

    It's just that the partial division sent by Huang Yao has captured Yazhou (Ya'an).

    "My lord, Chengdu is gone!"

    A fast boat came down the river and rushed to report to Hou Tianxi.

    Hou Tianxi thought he heard it wrong, and confirmed dryly: "It is Chengdu is gone?"

    "Chengdu is gone!" the messenger repeated.

    Why did Chengdu disappear?

    Hou Tianxi scratched his head, really couldn't figure it out.

    ? Even if there were troops to make a surprise attack across the mountain, there must not be many troops.  With Chengdu Jiancheng, 3,000 defenders are stationed, and they can hold it for at least a year.

    However, Chengdu only stayed for an hour.

    Hou Tianxi slumped on the chair, he was finished.  The old nest was raided, and there was a large army facing each other in front of them. There was no way to withdraw. Under the pursuit of the enemy, the whole army would collapse if it retreated.

    "Surrender." Hou Tianxi said weakly.

    The Chengdu Plain was won like a child's play.

    Emperor Longwu's family, as well as a group of civil servants and generals, were all escorted to Nanjing for Zhao Han to dispose of.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Text 399【Surprise attack on Liaodong】

    Nanjing.

    Song Yingxing brought two craftsmen to the audience, and also brought two muskets.

    "Meet Your Majesty!"

    The two craftsmen had obviously received etiquette training, so they resisted not kneeling, and bowed together with Song Yingxing.

    Zhao Han asked with a smile: "You said the firecracker has improved again?"

    Song Yingxing replied: "Many styles have been improved, and this time I bring the best two."

    The two craftsmen behind Song Yingxing are probably the main contributors to these two guns.

    Zhao Han asked Song Yingxing to bring the gun over, and found that one was long and the other was short.

    The long one is no different from the existing bird guns, but the short one is obviously a flintlock.

    Song Yingxing explained: "The improvement is nothing more than misfiring. This new bird gun (matchlock gun) has been tried for a month, and every 100 times the gun is fired, about 96 to 97 times are normal. And this flintlock,  I also tried it for a month, and for every 100 shots, about 81 to 82 shots can be fired."

    That is to say, for these two new guns, the misfire rate of the arquebus is 3%-4%, and the misfire rate of the flintlock is 18%-19%.

    has been significantly improved.

    The next question is what kind of new gun should be installed.

    Zhao Han asked, "What about the shooting speed?"

    Song Yingxing replied: "The rate of fire of the bird gun has not changed, but the rate of fire of the flintlock should be halved."

    Then don’t think about it. You must change to a flintlock gun. The nearly 20% misfire rate can be fully compensated by the rate of fire.

    The flaws of matchlock guns are too obvious. Even if the Datong Army is well-trained, it can only fire once a minute.

    There is also a fire rope, under normal circumstances, it can only burn for 30-40 minutes, and it will be shortened to 20 minutes in windy weather.  The matchlock is afraid of rain and water, and it will be exposed at night.

    Moreover, in order to prevent the matchlocks from interfering with each other, the musketeers should not stand too close together, and the musketeers should be at least one meter apart.

    After changing the flintlock gun, the formation has to change accordingly.

    The width of the battlefield can become larger, the musketeers can stand denser, and the depth of the formation can become shallower.  The number of melee units can be reduced, more firecrackers can be added, and the hollow formation against cavalry can also be practiced.

    Zhao Han said happily: "All of these flintlocks will be made, and they will be equipped first for our army's dragoons."

    With this military expansion, the inventory of the old matchlock guns was emptied, leaving only more than a thousand guns.  The next step is to mass-produce flintlock guns, first for the dragoons, and then for the infantry.

    The eliminated firecrackers can be thrown to those defecting troops.

    For example, Qin Liangyu, Yang Zhan, and Gan Liangchen in Sichuan, and the Guangxi soldiers who fought with the Tenth Division.

    Of course, due to production restrictions, it will take at least two to three years for all ten regular divisions to refit.  This is not playing games, researching and developing new equipment, which can be made immediately by spending gold coins, but in real battles, you have to wait slowly.

    After changing clothes, you can't go to the battlefield immediately, and you must carry out new formation and tactical training.

    Zhao Han asked the names of the two craftsmen again, so as to appreciate them.

    ? The one who improved the flintlock gun, rewarded five acres of land, rewarded five taels of silver, and raised his salary by five levels.  In addition, the title of "Skillful Craftsman" was awarded, and the Ministry of Industry and the whole army were notified for commendation.

    The one who improved the matchlock gun was rewarded with three acres of land, three taels of silver, three levels of salary increase, awarded the title of "Skilled Craftsman", and notified the Ministry of Industry for commendation.

    People who have won special titles, whether they are civil servants, generals, merchants or craftsmen, will be issued corresponding jade pendants and waist cards.  Jade pendants can be hung on the waist as ornaments, and waist cards can be used to meet officials at all levels, including the emperor.

    If a person holding a badge with a special title wants to see an official at a certain level, the official must meet within ten days.

    Waist badges are numbered and engraved with the name of the person. If someone uses or forges it, it is tantamount to treason.

    Hundreds of special titles of merchants have been awarded.

    ?For example, donating to support education can be awarded the title of "Confucian businessman", except for the establishment of private schools.  Another example is this year's catastrophe, and merchants who donate money and food to help the victims can be awarded the title of "benevolent merchants".

    These titles, like the archways of Ming Dynasty, must be reported to the central government layer by layer, and can only be approved after review.

    Except for being able to meet officials with a license, everything else is honorary, without any special treatment.

    So far, no one has come to see Zhao Han with a license. It is okay to see him, but if you have no business and just chat with the emperor, the emperor will definitely record you in his little book.  The same is true for officials at all levels. If they look around for nothing, they are just asking for trouble

    North Korea, Seoul.

    A servant scrambled and rushed in,More than 10,000 people entered the customs, enriching the sparsely populated Beizhili.

    In the entire Northeast, there are only 15 cities left with troops staying behind, and the rest are all governed by civilian officials.

    Since the northeast is so empty, why are you still nesting in Phi Island?  Land directly to occupy the city!

    In the Liaodong Peninsula, with such a large area of ??land, only Gaizhou and the Eight Banners Army are left.

    Dorgon never thought that Zhao Han could directly send troops to attack the Liaodong area across Shandong.  This is not a problem of IQ, but a problem of vision, which even Hong Chengchou didn't expect.

    All the navies from Shanghai and Fuzhou were dispatched, carrying the soldiers of the 11th Division of the Datong Army and many logistics supplies, and headed for Jinzhou (Jinzhou District, Dalian City) in a mighty way.

    After unloading in Jinzhou, they will continue to return to Ganghwa Island to ship food from North Korea.

    "Enemyenemy attack?"

    In charge of managing Jinzhou City, there is only one Han military officer and one Han civilian official.

    They watched the huge naval fleet attack, and they didn't understand what was going on at all, and they even forgot to gather troops to defend the city.

    Of course, there is no way to gather troops.

    The urban population, plus rural farmers, in the entire Jinzhou territory, there are only 20,000 to 30,000 Han Chinese left, and there are more than 10,000 Datong soldiers and officials who came by boat!

    When the Datong army landed on the shore, Jinzhou officials finally came to their senses and recruited the people in the city to defend.

    Hu Dinggui ordered: "The whole army takes off their helmets!"

    A commoner in Jinzhou, looking at the approaching Datong army, suddenly shouted excitedly: "There is no hair shaved, it is the imperial court's army, the emperor sent troops to fight back!"

    "Long live Daming!"

    "Long live Daming!"

    I don't know who shouted first, and the rest of the Han people cheered.

    Dorgon not only removed the population, but also took away most of the food.  There is no Jinzhou City full of people, and the food is almost gone. It is estimated that half of them will starve to death before the farmers outside the city can grow food.

    "Kill the Tartars, welcome the Heavenly Soldiers!"

    The defending troops that had been organized with great difficulty suddenly rushed towards the Jinzhou officials.

    Those Jinzhou officials are actually Han Chinese.

    (Don’t forget to vote for the monthly pass in everyone’s hand! This chapter is short! Lao Wang is very conscious now, continue to write, and strive to code out the third update as soon as possible!)

 Text 400 [Three Cities in a Row] (addition for the Penguin boss)

    With one sleeve tucked into his belt, Wu Huapu bent down to dig through the snow. Under the withered grass was the soil of Liaodong, the solid land on which he grew up.

    Suddenly, Wu Huapu got on his horse and shouted: "Go to the city!"

    ? In this reorganization of the Datong Army, although the five military governors' mansions (five major military academies) have been retained, the jurisdictions of each governor's mansion have changed a lot, and the unit numbers have all been changed to numbers.

    ?The Eleventh Division, the division commander Hu Dinggui, and the chief missionary officer Wang Yaochen.

    As for the one-armed Wu Huapu, he was responsible for commanding the cavalry of the 11th Division.  He also went to northern Anhui to pick out a few men who could ride horses. They were all Liaodong men who fled south together, and they came back to take Manqing's lair.

    The Han people had killed the officials and stood on both sides of the street to welcome the Datong army into the city.

    Hu Dinggui shouted loudly: "Has anyone read a book?"

    A thin man rushed over, knelt down and said, "General, I have been studying for a few days."

    "Don't move!"

    Hu Dinggui stepped forward, took off the opponent's hat, grabbed the tail of the money rat, and cut it off with a knife.

    After cutting off the whip, Hu Dinggui held the hat in both hands, put it on the man earnestly, and asked, "What's your name?"

    The thin man looked at the money rat's tail, and his heart seemed to be cut off, and he replied with a smile: "General Qi, my name is You Jinlei."

    Hu Dinggui asked: "What do you do for a living in Jinzhou?"

    You Jinlei replied: "Jinzhou officials collect fish maw from fishermen, and I will boil the fish maw. After it is cooked, there will be bannermen Tartars came from Gaizhou and took away the boiled fish maw.  Some food will be counted as rations. When they come, they will take away other military supplies besides isinglass.”

    Hu Dinggui understood that the Han people who stayed in Jinzhou City were dedicated to providing military materials for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    For example, isinglass is a necessity for making compound bows.

    Hu Dinggui asked: "Is there a weapons factory in Gaizhou City?"

    You Jinlei nodded: "Yes, they specialize in making bows and arrows and cotton armor. However, after the Tartars moved away, they probably took away many artisans, and Gaizhou collected less isingas than before. The rations given were also less and less.  After spring, people will definitely starve to death."

    Hu Dinggui looked at these people, and there were only two or three thousand people left in the whole city, and all of them were sallow and emaciated.

    Hu Dinggui had some calculations in his mind, and asked Meng Huai'en, a civil servant with the army, to organize the people in the city to go to the seaside to carry food.

    As a result, there was a shortage of manpower, and the local people happened to be the folks who moved the food.

    Second, use work as relief and distribute some food to the people.

    Three came to register and make a book, and while moving the grain and grass, compiled the household registration of the people in the city.

    Hearing that being a civilian husband would give him rations, the people of Jinzhou became excited and followed Meng Huaien to the beach one after another.

    Hu Dinggui left You Jinlei behind, and asked, "How much population is left in the Jinzhou territory?"

    You Jinlei shook his head: "I don't know."

    Hu Dinggui asked again: "Where is the nearest Eight Banners Army stationed?"

    You Jinlei said: "Gaizhou."

    Hu Dinggui asked again: "How many Eight Banners troops are there in Gaizhou?"

    You Jinlei shook his head again: "I don't know."

    This guy doesn't know what to ask, but it's normal.  They can't even afford to eat, how can they have the time to pay attention to other things?

    Hu Dinggui occupied Jinzhou, settled down the soldiers, and sent cavalry to scout around.

    A few days later, the sentinels brought back news one after another.

    Except for the official road leading to Gaizhou, the rest of the roads are mostly submerged in weeds.

    The wilderness is full of ruined villages, houses and land that belonged to the Bannermen.  With an order from Dorgon, the bannermen not only took away the serfs, but also burned down the houses.

    Sometimes I can ride a horse for a whole day without seeing any people.

    Here it quickly turned into a pristine state, and commercial and agricultural activities almost disappeared!

    ?The sentinels who came back from Jinzhou Zhongzuo (Lushun) reported that there were only a few hundred fishermen left there.  There are ten families of Han soldiers living in the fort, who are responsible for expropriating fish maw, and they themselves have to cultivate land and fish for a living.

    Immediately afterwards, the sentry cavalry who went to Fuzhou to inquire also came back.

    All the forts and checkpoints along the way were abandoned, and no one could be found, only occasionally encountering a few farmers in the wild.

    Hearing the news, Wu Huapu approached Hu Dinggui: "I want to take a day off and buy some wine from the army."

    "Why do you suddenly want to drink?" Hu Dinggui asked.

    Wu Huapu said sadly: "I can't hold it anymore, I want to drink some wine to sleep. I am from Liaodong, so I know what it's like here. Jinzhou and Fuzhou are both large counties in Liaodong, especially Jinzhou., has lit the matchlock, loaded the ammunition, and then climbed up the city wall.

    Seeing the enemy charging, Hu Dinggui didn't bother to fight recklessly, and let the gunfire soldiers shoot directly.

    This battle was fought outrageously. The original plan was to rebuild Dongjiang Town on Phi Island.

    After learning about the situation in the Northeast, they changed to occupy Jinzhou as a military base.  Unexpectedly, six cavalry captured Fuzhou, and now they took down Gaizhou, an important military town.

    Except for the mountainous areas, the entire Liaodong Peninsula is controlled by the Datong Army.

    But in this vast area, the three cities plus the wild villages have a total population of less than 100,000.

    After some interrogation, he soon learned about the military situation.

    Both Haizhou and Liaoyang have defenders, the number of which is about the same as that of Gaizhou.

    The population around Shenyang is the largest, many Manchus have not migrated, and there are still a large number of domestic slaves and serfs.

    "Do you still want to fight?" Wang Yaochen asked.

    Hu Dinggui gritted his teeth: "Go straight to Shenyang and overthrow the Tartars' lair!"

    "How to transport the food and grass?" Wang Yaochen asked.

    The previous three cities were all on the seashore, but they will go deep into the hinterland next.

    Hu Dinggui said: "The snow has almost melted, and the people of the three cities are recruited to transport food. The soldiers are quick, don't bring artillery, first take Haizhou, then take Liaoyang, and finally take Shenyang."

    Hu Dinggui then ordered Wu Huapu: "The cavalry go ahead and bypass Haizhou. According to the confessions of the captives, after passing Haizhou, there will be more farmers outside the city. If there is no food, they will rush all the way. The cavalry will kill the Tartars when they see them. Shenyang, Liaoyang  The reserved population is specially used to provide soldiers for the Eight Banners of Manchuria. The more people are killed in those places, the less the Manchu Qing army will have outside the customs.”

    "Okay, this military order is exactly what I want!" Wu Huapu was overjoyed.

    (Ask for a monthly pass.)

    &lt;/div&gt

    Jin Guozhen's ancestors were nobles in Korea. After the founding of Joseon, the power of his family declined rapidly.

    Today, the master is still a landlord, but he is reduced to a tenant.

    Even as a tenant, Jin Guozhen is more noble than ordinary tenants.  Because he has a surname, it proves that his ancestors were rich, and the real North Korean civilians don't even have a surname.

    The invasion of Japan and the Qing Dynasty led to the collapse of North Korea's social order.  A large number of civilians took the opportunity to occupy unowned land, and by the way stole the surname of the original landowner.

    You heard that right, steal the last name!

    With a surname, you are eligible to own land in North Korea.

    Jin Guozhen did not get any benefits, but was kidnapped by Man Qing.  Along with four other Han Chinese and one Korean, they were assigned to the Manchus as serfs—they didn’t even have coats.

    After spring, continue to melt.

    This year's climate is good, the snow melted early, and it was cold last year.

    During the Little Ice Age at the end of the Ming Dynasty, although there was no drought in Liaodong, the snowstorm was very serious.  Even Haizhou cannot grow winter wheat, and can only sow it after the snow melts in spring.

    "Hurry up, hurry up, you'll eat the whip if you delay!"

    Early in the morning, Baoyi, the Han man, knocked on the door with a whip, and Jin Guozhen jumped up from the bed reflexively.

    When they got dressed and waited to go to work, the master's family was eating.

    This is a family of low-level Manchurian Eight Banners officers. The old master died in battle long ago, leaving behind three sons, and the daughter married to another officer.  Now the eldest son and the second son have all moved to Guannei, leaving only the third son to stay in Haizhou.

    The remaining Manchus only need to have two tasks: one is to continue to grow land and produce food; the other is to have more children and provide soldiers for the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

    The masters eat dry for breakfast, after all the master has to practice martial arts.

    This is a tradition that has been formed in recent decades. Eat more, grow stronger, and practice martial arts well to join the army.  Then go out to battle with the army, burn, kill and loot, and distribute the spoils according to military merits. The spoils include livestock, food and people.

    The masters are full, and the leftovers are eaten by the Han people.

    As for the serfs, just eat some grains and bran porridge.  Try not to starve to death without starving to death, they are similar to animals, which owner is willing to starve to death of animals?

    Of course, if there is not enough food, real livestock must be given priority. The status of serfs is far inferior to that of cattle.

    In the middle of the morning, Bao Yi took a few serfs to work in the field.

    The master was wearing a set of old cotton armor, and took a few young masters to practice archery near the farmland.

    Jin Guozhen squatted in the farmland without any tools, so he could only pull out the weeds with his bare hands.

    When all the grass is pulled out, the field will be plowed with cattle.

    It is Mr. Coating's prerogative to use cattle.  The serfs had to wait until the land had been plowed before they could pick up the hoes and dig the pits for sowing.

    Jin Guozhen didn't dare to speak, for fear of being whipped by the coat.

    A few feet away from him is Liu Dazhang, a Han Chinese serf.  He was also taken captive, and his hometown is in Beizhili. I heard that there were more than 30 acres of land, and he lived a pretty good life as a child. The family even supported a child.

    After squatting for a long time, her waist was sore and her legs hurt, Jin Guozhen looked back subconsciously.

    Jin Guozhen was very envious of Mr. Baoyi sitting on the edge of the field to rest.  It would be nice to be able to do the coating by myself. Although I have to work, I won't be punished by my master if I'm lazy occasionally.

    "Da da da da!"

    There was a sound of horseshoes, and Jin Guozhen didn't bother to look at it. It must be the Manchurian cavalry from somewhere.

    The master, who was practicing arrows nearby, had a terrified expression, and fled towards Haizhou City with a few young masters.  The situation is urgent, and even the mistress of the family can't take care of it.

    Han Ren Baoyi also reacted, threw down his whip and chased after his master.

    Jin Guozhen finally realized that something was wrong. It seems that this is not a Manchurian cavalry?

    Liu Dazhang, a Han serf, stood up slowly. He couldn't believe it at first, then burst into tears, and shouted: "The Great Tomorrow Soldier is here, the Great Tomorrow Soldier is here!"

    There were only one hundred Datong cavalry in this group, ninety of them went to chase and kill them, and the remaining ten came galloping on horseback.

    The cavalry captain said: "Where is your master's home? Follow me to fight back and grab food, and I will take you away. I will share the fields with you, and you will plant your own land in the future, and you will no longer be slaves to others!"

    "Long live the soldiers of tomorrow!" Liu Dazhang fell to his knees.

    The cavalry captain did not correct him, but only said: "Lead the way quickly!"

    The ninety cavalry who chased out quickly caught up with the Manchu master and the Han Chinese.

    "Master Jun, spare me, I'm Han!" Bao Yi fell to his knees.

    Hear this, the whole army will definitely be wiped out by then.

    Gaizhou is different. It can be defended according to the city, and if there is not enough food, it will be shipped by sea.

    Moreover, troops can also be sent from Gaizhou to attack Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other cities, and block the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in Shanhaiguan.

    2300 Datong cavalry, divided into 23 centurions, poured out to plunder the countryside.

    ? Cut off the thumbs of Manchurian men, rob Manchurian women, take away garments, serfs, livestock and grain.  The food that can't be taken away is piled up and guarded, waiting for the infantry of the Datong Army to come and receive it!

    Haizhou and Liaoyang each have 150 defenders.

    The cavalry of Datong swaggered past the city with their population and trophies, and the defenders in the city did not dare to come out.  They didn't even know where the enemy came from?

    Or, who is the enemy?

    ?As for Shenyang, there are a total of 800 Eight Banners troops stationed there, which is indeed very strong.

    The distance between Gaizhou and Haizhou is 120 miles. Hu Dinggui couldn't wait for more civilians, so he only asked the people of Gaizhou City to help transport food, and set off directly with half a month's army food.

    On the way, he received a large number of serfs sent by cavalry to be peasant husbands, and surrounded Haizhou City mightily.

    The Manchu Qing officials in Haizhou have organized the people to guard the city.

    ?The guarding force consisted of 50 Manchu Eight Banners, 100 Han Army Eight Banners, more than 1,000 Manchurian civilians, more than 3,000 Han civilians, and more than 2,000 Han Chinese.  Among them, one-third of the Manchurian civilians had their thumbs cut off.

    The city wall of Haizhou is eight meters high, which can be called majestic.

    Hu Dinggui didn't even bring enough food, let alone artillery and siege equipment.

    The mission officers in the army dispatched all the staff, and brought many local serfs with them, and ran outside the city to shout and persuade them to surrender: "The Han brothers in the city, Huang Taiji was poisoned to death by Dorgon. Dorgon occupied the queen mother, and he followed the queen mother long ago.  Fornication, the puppet Qing emperor is also a bastard of Dorgon. Haoge led troops to fight with Dorgon, and my Han emperor has sent troops to surround Beijing. The Manchu Qing is about to disappear, and the Han brothers quickly surrender anyway. Do it for the Tartars  The Han people in the coats, as well as the Eight Banners of the Han army in the city, as long as they help kill the Tartars, they will be able to divide the fields without discrimination. Let’s kill the Tartars together!"

    Not only yelling in Chinese, but also the coating that can speak Manchu, and also yelling in Manchu.

    The Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were in a state of panic. The snow had just started to melt in the spring, and they didn't know the news in the pass at all.

    Otherwise, how could the Han army reach Haizhou?

    This is not a sneak attack by a small group of troops. A large number of cavalry appeared two days ago, and now there are thousands of elite infantry.  So many enemy troops must have been killed from Shanhaiguan, and the speed of dispatching troops was so fast that it was impossible for the friendly troops on the front line to report.

    The Manchu court must be gone!

    As for Huang Taiji's cause of death, there are indeed many theories.  Some said it was Hauge who killed him, others said it was Dorgon who killed him. Anyway, Huang Taiji died in a daze within two months of entering the customs.

    Of course, this kind of thing happened in previous years.

    The Manchus entered the customs and plundered all the way to Shandong.  After a series of victories, the titan Yue Tuo contracted smallpox and died

    After some shouting, thousands of Han people guarding the city were ready to move.

    The main one is the Ming army, which has not been to Haizhou for 20 years.  This is the absolute rear area, surrounded and attacked for no reason, the situation is really weird.  Not to mention the Han people, even the Eight Banners of Manchuria, who guard the city, somewhat believe that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is really about to perish.

    "Kill the Tartars!"

    The first to do it was the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

    Moreover, they did not dare to attack the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and directly killed the civilians defending the city in Manchuria.

    Han Baoyi and Han civilians followed suit.

    The Han emperor has already sent troops to kill him. If he does not surrender at this time, will he be liquidated in the future?

    More nonsense happened. The Eight Banners of the Han Army only dared to kill Manchurian civilians. The long-term fear made them farther and farther away from the Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers.

    And those 50 Manchurian Eight Banners soldiers killed thousands of Han Chinese guarding the city and fled in embarrassment.

    The city was in a mess, and finally two city gates came in one after another.

    "General help!"

    A general of the Han army ran out with the remnant soldiers, crying and yelling at Hu Dinggui to save him.

    Hu Dinggui said contemptuously: "What a bunch of useless people, I finally know how Liaodong was lost!"

    50 Manchurian Eight Banners, with more than 1,000 Manchurian civilians, even killed 100 Han Eight Banners and more than 5,000 Han defenders.

    Although the Eight Banners of the Han Army had more people, they did not dare to fight at all. They fled when they saw the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties coming.

    "Raise the gun!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    After a platoon of guns, the melee soldiers rushed into the city gate, and the Datong firecrackers also charged in with bayonets.

    The leader of the Han army walked around to Hu Dinggui and exclaimed: "The general's subordinates are all elites, no wonder they can kill all the way from Shanhaiguan!"

    Hu Dinggui said: "What are you still doing, killing Tartars?"

    The leader of the Han army hurriedly drew his sword: "My sons, follow me to kill the Tartars!"

    With the Datong army clearing the way, these Eight Banners of the Han army who turned against each other suddenly became extremely brave.  After rushing into the city, he chased the Manchurian civilians and slashed at them. He really regarded himself as a national hero.

    ,

    The guard of Liaoyang is called Shuo Zhan.

    This person was born in Zhenghongqi, and inherited his father's position Jiala Ezhen, similar to Zhao Han's regiment leader, who can command 1,500 people.

    After entering the customs, Dorgon appointed Shuo Zhan as Meile Zhangjing, which means deputy general.  He still has only 1,500 soldiers under his command, but all areas from Shanhaiguan to Liaoyang belong to his military jurisdiction.

    Shuo Zhan only had 50 Manchurian Eight Banners in his hands, and the remaining soldiers were all distributed in the countryside. He needed to regroup to fight.

    The Manchu army has always been like this, returning to the countryside when not fighting, managing their own farms, and practicing combat skills by the way.  Only when going out for an expedition or concentrated drills, did they go to a fixed location to gather, which is more similar to Zhao Han's peasant and soldier system.

    Therefore, despite the fact that there are only 50 Manchurian Eight Banners in Liaoyang, 1,500 Eight Banners can actually be recruited within a few days-after the army was taken away by Dorgon, there were only so many people left.

    Haizhou can also call up troops, but Wu Huapu's cavalry rushed too fast.  A large number of Manchurian Eight Banners scattered in the countryside were killed or their thumbs were cut off before they received the order to gather troops.  There are also several teams of cavalry, cruising around Haizhou City, specially intercepting and killing the Eight Banners soldiers who came spontaneously.

    So Haizhou City was quickly occupied by the Datong Army!

    However, Liaoyang learned of the enemy's situation in advance, and now has gathered more than 200 troops, and another 100 Eight Banners soldiers of the Han Army assisted.

    But Shuo Zhan still didn't dare to go out of the city, because the Datong cavalry had already killed them.

    On the field where the spring grass has recovered, dozens of Manchurian Eight Banners rushed to Liaoyang City after receiving the order to gather troops.  Among them, there were twelve horsemen and thirty-seven infantrymen.  They also have coats to follow, which belong to combat coats. They help the master lead the horse, carry the gun and carry the equipment. When fighting, they can turn into civilian husbands, or they can charge forward as auxiliary soldiers.

    "Woooooooooooooo!"

    The sentinel on the hill, observing with a telescope, quickly blew the horn.  The more than 300 Tong cavalry in charge of this area quickly gathered to kill them.

    The main general of the Qing Dynasty was blocked in the city, and only middle and low-level officers came from outside the city, and several small troops had been intercepted and killed.

    Shuo Zhan stood on the tower, watching anxiously.

    He once sent more than a dozen cavalrymen to various villages to pass orders to tell the Eight Banners Army not to refuel and rush to the city, but to rush to Shenyang to gather troops and kill them.  But after these cavalry left the city, they were intercepted and killed by Datong cavalry ten times larger than themselves, and only two of them broke through the encirclement quickly by relying on horses.

    At this moment, three hundred Datong cavalry quickly surrounded a small group of enemy troops.

    When they were far away, they lit the match, loaded the ammunition and prepared to attack.

    The other 300 Datong cavalry gradually approached in this direction, in case Shuo Zhan led troops out of the city to rescue.

    12 Manchurian horse troops and 37 Manchurian infantry troops, plus their coats, numbered nearly a hundred.  Surrounded in the wild like this, Ma Jun even put on cotton armor in an emergency, and tried to distance himself to escape after getting on his horse.

    It's fine if they don't wear armor, but they really can't escape with armor on.

    In order to reduce weight, Datong dragoons don't wear any armor to ensure their speed.

    I saw these Datong cavalry, only 50 cavalry were left to guard the enemy infantry, and the rest all went to kill the enemy cavalry.  250 riders chased and intercepted 12 riders. There was no need to dismount and fire guns. After approaching, they reined in their horses and shot.

    After fighting for a while, three people were killed by firecrackers, and eight people were besieged in close combat. Only one Manchurian cavalry was still running away.

    The Datong cavalry circled back again, dismounted and lined up to fire guns at the remaining enemy infantry.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The packers were so frightened that they all fell to the ground and surrendered, but they effectively avoided the salvo of firecrackers.

    These Manchurian infantry soldiers would be surrounded and killed if they fled scattered, and they would be shot when they gathered.  There was no way to fight at all, so he had to bite the bullet and charge. After a round of charge, he was killed and half injured by muskets.

    When the survivors charged a little closer, the team of Datong dragoons ran away, and another team of dragoons started shooting from the side.

    Unable to fight, the Manchurian infantry finally had a nervous breakdown and ran desperately towards Liaoyang City.

    The Datong dragoons caught up and surrounded them with knives at their waists.

    Actually killed the remaining few, threw away their weapons and surrendered.  The Datong army was unparalleled in benevolence and righteousness. They stripped off their cotton armor, took away their weapons, cut off their thumbs and let them enter the city.

    Shuo Zhan was disgusted by this behavior. He had taken in hundreds of Manchurian soldiers who had lost their thumbs, and some of them had been sent back from Haizhou on purpose.

    These people can't draw bows and arrows, and can't hold swords, guns and shields steadily, so they are completely useless.

    Moreover, news was brought from Haizhou, saying that Haoge and Dorgon had internal strife, and the Qing army was killed and defeated.  Beijing has been besieged, and Shanhaiguan has been attacked.sp;Shuo Zhan said: "Han people and North Koreans cannot enter the city, they are likely to defect!"

    "Yes, except for the loyal coat, the Han and North Koreans are not allowed to enter the city!" Ahanikan agreed.

    Tens of thousands of Han and Korean people were abandoned in the countryside without even a single grain of food.

    Some Manchus simply killed all the serfs at home when they moved out of the farm.

    Wu Huapu rushed back to Liaoyang to report: "General, there are thousands of defenders in Shenyang, and it is impossible to take it in a short time. They are afraid of defecting. Han and Koreans are not allowed to enter the city. Even the Eight Banners of the Han army are out of the city to set up camp.  In the city of Shenyang, apart from the Manchurians, there are only coats.”

    Hu Dinggui laughed and said, "Then we won't fight Shenyang. The cavalry went to recruit Han Chinese and Koreans to move westward, and they all moved to Gaizhou, Fuzhou, and Jinzhou to farm. In addition, they went outside Shenyang to shout, saying that Dorgon had already  Defeated, the 500,000 Datong army is about to come to Shenyang. Let’s scare them, it will take a lot of time to take away the people, lest the enemy army in Shenyang come out to make trouble.”

    Hu Dinggui said to Wang Yaochen: "Order North Korea to collect grain again, and the price can be raised by 10%. If it doesn't work, we can only go to Jiangsu to urge grain. There are too many people to be resettled this time."

    Hu Dinggui really stopped fighting in Shenyang. He evacuated Haizhou and Liaoyang, and took away tens of thousands of people from Shenyang.

    Although the stronghold of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not been breached, it has become a piece of white ground.

    When leaving, the city walls of Haizhou and Liaoyang also collapsed with gunpowder, and they can come back to seize the city at any time in the future.

    By the way, in Liaodong, where the land is vast and sparsely populated, pastures can be opened up to raise horses!

    It wasn't until Hu Dinggui moved everyone out and returned to Gaizhou safely that Dorgon finally received the news that his hometown had been hacked.

    (It's gone today. ?

 Text 403 [Calendar and Characters]

    ,

    The weather in Henan this year is good, and it actually started to rain very early in the spring.

    This is the first normal spring rain in Henan after six consecutive years of severe drought across the province.

    Tragic Henan can finally return to normal this year. Except for Runing Mansion, which is occupied by Zhao Han, there is no drought in other places in Henan.

    It's nonsense, God seems to be against Zhao Han.

    He only occupies two prefectures in Henan, but the prefecture with the most immigrants is about to experience severe drought this year.  On the contrary, the territory of the Manchu Qing in Henan will become smooth this year.

    In addition, Shaanxi, which has been in drought for more than ten years, is also enjoying good weather this year, and only some areas of Shanxi are dry.

    "The severe drought in Chongzhen" began to shift to the south in an all-round way.

    However, the Manchu Qing could not please, and hundreds of thousands of Liaodong soldiers and civilians collectively moved to North Zhili.  But this year's North Zhili is a drought-stricken area.

    To be more specific, this year's drought-stricken areas are located in the core ruling areas of Dorgon and Zhao Han.

    Come on, hurt each other!

    When Hu Dinggui plundered the population of Shenyang, and when Huang Yao took the Chengdu Plain, the frontal battlefield also began to act.

    Peasants in northern Hubei, northern Jiangsu, northern Anhui, Nanyang, and Runing were mobilized, and the grain Zhao Han harvested last autumn had already been continuously transported to the north.

    The Civil War is about to break out.

    At this critical moment, the focus of the people of Nanjing is not the upcoming Northern Expedition.

    ? No one thought that the Datong Army would be defeated. It seemed normal to sweep the Central Plains.  Their eyes turned to the officially published "Datong Almanac", "Twelve Qi Calendars", "Datong Zhengyin" and "Datong Dictionary".

    "Datong Almanac" is an adaptation of "Chongzhen Almanac", only some obvious mistakes have been deleted, such as the geocentric theory.

    The Hous and their sons were under surveillance in Shandong, but Zuo Liangyu was still vacillating.

    Just last winter, Hou Fangyu received the news of his mother's death, so he got rid of Manchu and almost returned to Henan for the funeral.  Then he entered Anhui from his hometown, wandered around for several months, and finally came to Nanjing.

    As soon as I entered the city, I saw guards carrying burdens and selling "Twelve Qi Calendars" to shops along the street.

    It is not forced to buy and sell, you can not buy it, but the date of collection of store tax in the future will be collected according to the new calendar time.

    "How do you sell the almanac?" Hou Fangyu asked.

    The guard smiled and replied: "Colored ones cost one yuan, and those without colors and paintings only cost one dime."

    Hou Fangyu has come all the way south and already knows the southern currency system.

    A few years ago, the Datong silver dollar, which was mainly used for merchant trade, has now become a very common currency in circulation.  One silver dollar is equal to one tael of silver, commonly known as "one dollar".

    Moreover, Datong copper coins have been added, which can be divided into five jiao, two jiao and one jiao.

    The traditional copper coins with square holes are still in use, about 800 to 1200 Wen, which can be exchanged for one yuan, that is, ten cents.

    However, only Datong copper coins can be used to pay taxes.

    The rest of Jiajing Tongbao and Chongzhen Tongbao are not recognized by the government and banks.  Although it can be exchanged at the bank, those are "waste coins" and basically can only be exchanged for the cost price of copper materials.

    "Let me take a look first," Hou Fangyu said.

    The colorful and painted version belongs to the wall calendar, with simple paintings of flowers, birds and landscapes.  Colorless and without painting, it is a desk calendar.

    Hou Fangyu brought not much money, so he bought a desk calendar.

    He found that the old and new calendars corresponded up and down, and beside the numbers in Chinese characters, there were also Tianzhu numbers (Arabic numbers).

    In the first year of the Republic of China, the Yellow Emperor calendar was 4339 years.

    ?The first day of the first month of the new calendar (Lichun) corresponds to the ninth day of the first lunar month (Lichun) of the old calendar.

    ?Continue to read and find out that there are twenty-four solar terms in the lunar calendar, and each solar term is on the 1st or 16th of the new calendar.  There are 31 days in a big month and 30 days in a small month.

    However, due to the unevenness of the sun's movement, there are 32 days in May, only 29 days in November, and the summer solstice is May 17.

    Hou Fangyu smiled and said, "This calendar is easy to remember."

    Holding the newly bought desk calendar, Hou Fangyu first asked his old friend about the situation, and learned that Fang Yizhi was very popular with Zhao Han's new appointment, so he asked Fang Yizhi to pass the letter on his behalf.

    Zhao Han is about to go on a personal expedition, so there is really no time. Hou Fangyu is arranged for the morning after tomorrow.

    ?The founding emperor’s personal conquest was not because he was full.

    Due to backward communication technology, military information cannot be passed back and forth quickly.  Moreover, the battlefield may involve four provinces. Zhao Han must move the headquarters to the front line, because no one can independently suppress the generals except him.

    & n??Hongwu Zhengyun is very similar, but the pronunciation of some Chinese characters has changed.

    However, it conforms to the traditional reading pronunciation rules.

    As long as the traditional scholars who have learned the pronunciation of reading, no matter where they are, they will definitely be able to understand the correct pronunciation of Datong.

    Hou Fangyu tried to use the dictionary to look up Chinese characters again. Whether it is pinyin lookup or radical lookup, it is infinitely faster than traditional word lookup tools.

    Hou Fangyu sighed: "This is a sharp tool for enlightenment, and its merits will last for thousands of years! If I stay in the south of the Yangtze River, I will be able to participate in the grand event together. It's a pity that I went back to Henan when I compiled the dictionary."

    Hou Fangyu was also helpless, he first went to Beijing to spend money to get his father out of prison.  After returning home, he assisted his father in defending himself against the rogue bandits in Henan.  Then the grandfather died again, and then the stockade was breached, and the father and son were forcibly taken away by Li Zicheng to become officials.

    ?Facing in the direction of Zhao Han's "Imperial Palace", Hou Fangyu felt inexplicable: "Writing, calendar, with this kind of merit, it is already a sign of prosperity. The sage is coming to court, how can we scholars not devote ourselves to it?"

    Another day later, under the leadership of Fang Yizhi, Hou Fangyu was received by Zhao Han.

    When the two passed by the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, they saw dozens of scholars kneeling to petition, hoping to abolish Datong Zhengyin.

    "A group of rotten Confucians can only do bad things!" Hou Fangyu said with contempt.

    Fang Yizhi smiled and said: "It's not bad, there are only a few dozen. The number of scholars who petitioned last time was one or two hundred."

 Text 404 [Chinese cabbage and pigtails]

    Hou Fangyu and Fang Yizhi were arranged to wait in the waiting room.

    They thought that Zhao Han was discussing the military, after all, he was about to go on a personal conquest, but they didn't know that Zhao Han was enjoying Chinese cabbage.

    Chen Xisong put two cabbages on the table. After being stored in the cellar for the winter, the outer leaves had withered and turned yellow.  He pointed to two Chinese cabbages and said: "Your Majesty, this cabbage comes from Beizhili. The seeds were brought to the south by Datong scholars. The locals call it 'Baoxinbai'. This cabbage comes from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The locals call it  The 'yellow sprouts'."

    Zhao Han asked doubtfully, "Isn't Chinese cabbage widely grown in the north?"

    Chen Xisong explained: "It has been planted, but it does not have a core, and it will rot after several frosts. This kind of 'core white' Chinese cabbage has a high yield and is much more cold-resistant."

    Zhao Han pointed to the yellow sprouts from Jiangsu and Zhejiang: "How is it different from this cabbage?"

    Chen Xisong said: "The taste of yellow sprouts is better, but the yield of Baoxinbai is higher, and it is not so picky when planting."

    "Then promote Baoxinbai!" Zhao Han immediately made a decision.

    It is not so picky, and the output is still high, which can be promoted on a large scale.  As for the yellow sprouts with better taste, they can be planted on a small scale and counted as a kind of cabbage exclusively for the rich.

    "Yes!" Chen Xisong cupped his hands.

    Zhao Han said happily: "Prepare more seeds and write a planting booklet. I will ask the Ministry of Households to distribute it to the governors of all states and counties to promote it. Even the Home of the Small People, let them eat cabbage every day in winter! By the way  , The Institute for Encouraging Farmers will be changed to the Institute for Encouraging Farmers, temporarily under the jurisdiction of Qintian Academy. I will give you a doctorate title, and those experts in farming under your command can be awarded master's and bachelor's degrees. I will give you three master's places and ten bachelor's places.  Assign it yourself!"

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Chen Xisong said happily.

    The Hanlin Academy and the Qintian Academy now have only two doctors, one is Qian Qianyi, the other is Xiao Shixuan, and someone like Chen Xisong has become the third doctor.

    Zhao Han said again: "Keep these two cabbages and cook them for the imperial chef."

    In ancient China, there was cabbage, but it belonged to small cabbage, the kind used to make prunes in the south.  It was called "Sicai" in ancient times, because it can survive the winter and has the character of pine trees.

    During the Tang and Song dynasties, cabbage was hybridized with manjing (kohlrabi, cabbage head) in the north, and several new cabbages were born.  One of them is called tripe siung, which belongs to the ancestor of loose-leaf cabbage, and was renamed Chinese cabbage in the Yuan Dynasty.

    About a few decades ago, stuffed cabbage, called yellow sprouts, appeared in Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions.  The taste is excellent, the price is expensive, and the planting and maintenance are troublesome.

    Just in recent years, Baoxinbai, the real Chinese cabbage, appeared in Beizhili!

    However, due to the war, Chinese cabbage is still limited to some prefectures and counties in Hebei, and it has not been able to be promoted to other provinces—naturally, it cannot be spread to North Korea.

    Hou Fangyu followed Fang Yizhi into the room, and the two bowed to each other: "My lord."

    Zhao Han said, "Sit down."

    After Hou Fangyu sat down, he immediately saw the two Chinese cabbages.  It's hard not to see it, because it's on Zhao Han's desk, lying between him and Zhao Han.

    Seeing Hou Fangyu's surprised expression, Zhao Han said with a smile: "This kind of cabbage is a good thing. It is easy to grow and has a high yield. Moreover, it is tightly packed, which is good for storing in the cellar for the winter. As long as it is popularized, Shengdou Xiaomin will also grow in the cold winter months."  You can eat delicious vegetables."

    Hou Fangyu was in awe, and quickly got up and cupped his hands: "Your Majesty cares about all people, and you are a true benevolent king!"

    Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

    "Your Majesty, the generals under Zuo Liangyu's command are extremely complicated," Hou Fangyu said straight to the point, "Zuo Liangyu can't decide which side to surrender to. Apart from waiting for a price, it is more likely that he cannot restrain the troops.  Some generals want to take refuge in Beijing, and some generals want to take refuge in Nanjing. No matter which side Zuo Liangyu takes refuge in, there will be chaos in his department!"

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "I know that."

    Not only did Zhao Han know about it, but he had already contacted Zuo Liangyu's generals.

    The situation in Shandong is particularly complicated. For example, in the Denglai area, there was a small warlord named Huang Fei.  After Mao Wenlong was killed, Huang Long took over as the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, while Huang Fei was Huang Long's nephew and inherited Huang Long's position and surname.

    When Huang Fei was serving as the commander-in-chief of Denglai, he happened to meet the Tartars who plundered Shandong, and was beaten to the point of losing troops and generals.  Later, he encountered the Caomin uprising in Shandong. In the process of destroying the rebel army, his strength recovered slightly.

    Today, Huang Fei nominally hangs out with Zuo Liangyu, but actually dominates the Shandong Peninsula.

    Once Zuo Liangyu took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, Huang Fei would definitely leave his ministry.  Even Huang Fei has already made an appointment with Zhao Han's emissary to send troops together to attack Zuo Liangyu??, the whole family was killed as spies.

    There are also a small number of people who did not settle down in Beijing, absconded into temples, and became monks and priests.

    At this moment, Beijing civil servants have a lot of money.

    They also seem to think that braids are ugly, not only they are ugly, but everyone else is ugly together.  Therefore, in conjunction with Shangshu, it is required that all the people in the outer cities of Beijing must shave their hair off.

    Hou Fangyu said again: "Your Majesty, although Henan is occupied by the Manchus, many gentry still turn their hearts to the south. As long as Your Majesty sends troops, Henan will surely raise troops to help His Majesty kill the Tartars!"

    "Very well, you should also go out with the army, and you will soon be attacking your hometown, Guide Mansion." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Hou Fangyu said: "Your Majesty, as long as the Datong army marches into Guide Mansion, Wansheng is willing to send back to his hometown to recruit volunteers to fight against the Qing Dynasty!"

    (Tomorrow three more, today is gone.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 405 [The Great War broke out]

    ? In the first year of the Republic of China, the Yellow Emperor calendar was 4339, and AD was 1642.

    ?February 5th in the new calendar, February 14th in the old calendar.

    Zhao Han took two thousand personal guards, some ten Cao officials, some female officials, and Zhongshu Sheren, and set off from Nanjing for the imperial conquest.

    After Zheng Zhilong's surrender, the customs tax was greatly increased.  The royal family's annual budget also increased directly from one hundred thousand taels of silver to three hundred thousand taels.

    No one raised any objections. According to the current annual revenue, the bottom line for civil servants is to give the royal family two million taels.  If it exceeds two million taels, there will be financial problems, and many officials will come to persuade them.

    Zhao Han only needs 300,000 taels, which is enough for the civil servants, and he plans to raise it to 500,000 next year.

    ? Step by step, each has its own room.

    The fleet followed the Grand Canal to Huai'an and changed to the Huaihe River, all the way to Xuzhou City.

    Fei Ruhe, the commander of the First Division of the Datong Army, and Chen Bangyan, the magistrate of Xuzhou, each led their men out of the city to meet Yujia.

    Chen Bangyan was the head of the three loyalists in Lingnan. When Zhao Han first conquered Guangdong, this gentleman was reluctant to be an official.  However, he has always insisted on writing letters to local officials, proposing various feasible suggestions for governing Guangdong.

    A year later, officials at all levels in Guangdong recommended Chen Bangyan to be an official, saying that he is a great talent in civil affairs.

    ?The Ministry of Officials (it was also called the Department of Official Selection at the time) sent a special person to investigate, found that the situation was true, and finally reported it to Zhao Han.

    Only the emperor can overpromote officials!

    After reading various investigation materials, Zhao Han also felt that it was a pity that this person did not become an official.  So he personally ordered the conquest, and Chen Bangyan was ordered to go out of the mountain happily. His first job was to be the county magistrate.

    A friend from the same village asked: "If you want to be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, why did you become the county magistrate of the new dynasty before the Ming Dynasty died?"

    Chen Bangyan said: "During the period of the Ding Revolution, we should not stick to this, and the people of the Li people should be the most important. I made dozens of suggestions and suggestions, all of which were adopted by the new dynasty, and Guangdong is already thriving. Since the governor (Zhao Han) has conquered the land, why should he be stingy?"  With an old man, how can he govern the world well?"

    After entering the city, Zhao Han didn't ask about the military, but asked about people's livelihood: "What's the weather like in Xuzhou this year?"

    Chen Bangyan looked happy: "It's only February, but there have been two spring rains. Last winter was not too cold, and there was auspicious snow. This year's wheat harvest in Xuzhou must be bumper!"

    "That's good." Zhao Han was also very happy.

    Chen Bangyan said: "The local people in Xuzhou all say that there has been a severe drought for several years, and that God is not beautiful. However, His Majesty has governed Xuzhou for less than two years. Last year, it was only a minor disaster. This year, there will be spring rain. This must be the destiny, and the sky is also happy."  Your Majesty is Emperor."

    Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said, "Mr. has also learned to flatter."

    Chen Bangyan smiled and said: "Sentences are true, not flattery, Your Majesty is really the Lord of Destiny."

    "Hahahaha!" Zhao Han laughed.

    Zhao Han turned his head to look at Fei Ruhe again: "Has the front line moved yet?"

    Fei Ruhe replied: "We have dispatched troops to Henan."

    This time, Zhao Han did his best. If he didn't fight, he wouldn't fight.

    Although it has been said that there is not enough food, there is always a squeeze.  Zhao Han mobilized more than 100,000 troops and more than 200,000 civilians. Taking advantage of the unstable foothold of the Manchu Qing, he took the initiative to attack, at least to occupy Henan and Shandong!

    The first division, Fei Ruhe.  Stationed in Xuzhou, he can guard against Zuo Liangyu in Shandong, and can also enter Henan along the Huaihe River at critical times.

    The second division, Zhang Tieniu.  Stationed in Yizhou, it specializes in fighting Zuo Liangyu, and can also support Huang Fei in the Shandong Peninsula.  When necessary, go straight to Tianjin by sea!

    The third division, Li Zheng.  Stationed in Dangshan, has attacked Henan, the goal is Yucheng of Guide Mansion.

    The fourth division, Xiao Zongxian.  Stationed in Bozhou, has attacked Henan, the target is Luyi of Guide Mansion.

    The Fifth Division, Jiang Liang.  Stationed in Yingzhou, they have already attacked Henan, targeting Shenqiu and Xiangcheng in Kaifeng Prefecture.

    The sixth division, Jiang Dashan.  Stationed in Xiping, has attacked Henan, the goal is the city of Kaifeng.

    The seventh division, Huang Shun.  Stationed in Yexian County, has attacked Henan, and the goal is Xiangcheng in Kaifeng Prefecture.

    The Eighth Division, Liu Zhu.  Stationed in Nanzhao, he has already attacked Henan, and his target is Lushan County in Ruzhou (Luyang Pass is in the hands of Zhao Han, just go out to fight directly).

    The Ninth Division, Huang Yao, is attacking Sichuan.

    The Tenth Division, Liu Xinyu, is encroaching on Guangxi.

    The 11th Division, Hu Dinggui, is making a surprise attack on Liaodong.

    There is also Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry brigade, with 3,000 Xiao cavalry and 2,000 dragoon cavalry.

    Except for the Eighth Division and the Ninth Division, each division has 2,500 cavalry, which can be assigned to Lu Xiangsheng at the time of the decisive battle.

    &? 

    Zuo Liangyu was unwilling to do anything: "Isn't Mr. Hou the governor of Shandong in the Qing Dynasty?"

    Feng Quan said: "This man cheated the city to persuade him to surrender. He has been in Shandong for almost half a year, but he has not made any progress. He just wanted to take the opportunity to flee south. Fortunately, the regent Wang Yingming sent people to monitor and guard day and night."

    Zuo Liangyu still wants to be a fool, and surrendering to the Manchu Qing is just a stopgap measure.

    The North-South War has broken out. If the Datong Army wins, he wants to turn against him at a critical moment.  What about shaved hair and braids?  Hair can still grow back!

    Hou Xun's heart is obviously towards Nanjing. If he really kills Hou Xun, it will be tantamount to cutting off his retreat.

    Zuo Liangyu said: "Mr. Hou is my old benefactor, and now he is the governor of the Qing Dynasty. I really dare not kill him. It is better to send him back to Beijing and hand him over to the regent."

    Feng Quan thought for a while, nodded and said: "It's okay."

    ?On February 25th of the new calendar, Zuo Liangyu announced his surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and was canonized as Pingnan King by Dorgon.

    ?The news came out that Huang Fei, who occupied the Second Mansion of Denglai, announced that he would leave Zuo Liangyu, change his banner and join the Datong Army, and immediately sent troops to attack Qingzhou Mansion.  Zhang Tieniu cooperated and fought one east and one south, sandwiching Qingzhou Mansion.

    Ma Jinzhong, who was born as a bandit, also announced his separation from Zuo Liangyu, and led his troops south to join Fei Ruhe.

    At the same time, Hong Chengchou and Duoduo moved to Shandong, and the frontier troops surrendered to do more looting.  The plague in Shandong was serious, and it was exploited by Zuo Liangyu, and now the Manchu Qing came to loot again. For a while, the uprising army was everywhere, and they all unfurled the banner of the Datong Army.

    Hong Chengchou and Duoduo went straight to Qufu, and the Kong family in Qufu knelt down.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Text 406 [Rebel Army]

    ,

    Shandong, Liangshan.

    Liangshan thief Li Qingshan, Wenshang thief Cai Naihan, Shouzhang thief Ding Mingwu, Cao thief Xue Zhenglu, and Ma Jinzhong who left Zuo Liangyu and went south gathered here.

    There are also bandit leaders who came from Puzhou, Caozhou, Fanxian and other places, namely: Ren Qi, Zhang Qi, Liang Min, Huang Zhenshan, Wu Kanghua, Shi Kuiran, Zhang Cui and others.

    Historically, they were collectively referred to as "Em Garden Thieves".

    ?First fought against the Ming Dynasty, and then fought against the Qing Dynasty. If they lost, they would go to the mountains to hibernate, and they were active for more than ten years.  It is said that there are millions of people, and the total number is probably between 200,000 and 300,000.

    The crowd listed more than ten high-ranking chairs and placed them in an open space on the hill. Li Qingshan said: "Today, there are two distinguished guests. One is the angel Mr. Zheng from Nanjing, and the other is General Ma who vowed not to surrender to the Qing Dynasty. Please invite Mr. Zheng to sit down."  Main seat!"

    Zheng Peiran is a scholar who fled from Shandong to the south. Now his family has divided the land in Anhui. He returned to Shandong half a year ago as a secret agent.

    This gathering was also contacted by Zheng Peiran, otherwise it would be difficult for the peasant army scattered all over the place to gather together.

    Zheng Peiran did not refuse, went straight to the main seat, turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Brothers, I am also from Shandong. Three years ago, I took my whole family to the south, and now I have been allocated fields in Baoying County. No matter men, women, old or young, I went to the south  , Everyone can share the land. Men farm the land, women weave, children can read, girls can read, and those who can read can be officials. Those days are so good!"

    Most of these rebel leaders were farmers, and they couldn't help showing yearning when they heard this.

    Zhang Qi asked: "Can girls also read?"

    Zheng Peiran said with a smile: "Of course girls can read. When His Majesty was still in rebellion, the territory was only half a county, so he made a rule that children must study. Any parent who does not send their children to study will be fined by the government!"

    "What should I do if my family has no money to study?" Cai Naihan asked.

    Zheng Peiran explained: "You don't need to pay tuition fees when you study in the south. If the family has no money, the government will lend students books. As long as they don't damage the books, they can return the books to the school after reading them. Brushes can be used by yourself.  What to do, you can also practice calligraphy by dipping in water. There are very few people practicing calligraphy by dipping in water, and life is getting better and better, and farmers can afford ink sticks."

    Ding Mingwu was a military officer, so he was more knowledgeable. He sneered, "Mr. Zheng, don't try to coax us with these words. Since we are here today, we are all willing to fight the Tartars."

    Zheng Peiran shook his head: "I didn't want to deceive anyone, it's really like this in the south."

    Xue Zhenglu interrupted suddenly: "I used to be a Caomin, and I heard about it from the Cao Jun from the south. At that time, I even joked about it, saying that in Jiangxi, girls were forced to study, and if they didn't study, they would be fined."

    All the leaders of the rebel army looked at each other, feeling incredible.

    Zhang Qi was stunned and said, "Is there really such a thing? Isn't Emperor Zhao of Nanjing a Bodhisattva?"

    Zheng Peiran smiled and said: "Farmers in several provinces in the south, many of their homes are dedicated to His Majesty, and they have to worship once in the morning and evening. Why did I flee to the south and return to Shandong where the plague is everywhere? Because I am from Shandong, and I have lived a good life by myself.  We must also let the elders in our hometown live a good life. As long as the Datong Army comes and kills the Tartars, everyone will be able to live a good life in the future!"

    Ding Mingwu asked: "Will King Chuang pay the food when he comes, will Emperor Zhao pay the food?"

    "How to raise soldiers without paying food?" Zheng Peiran said, "Don't worry, everyone, the tax is not heavy, and there is no corvee. Every family grows their own fields, so what is the land tax?"

    All the leaders were a little disappointed, but they still felt that Li Zicheng was better.

    Especially Ding Mingwu, when Li Zicheng attacked Beizhili, Ding Mingwu proclaimed himself the deputy commander of Shandong under the command of King Chuang, and he was probably Li Zicheng's wild fan.

    After chatting about southern policies for a while, Zheng Peiran said, "I have invited General Ma to tell you how the Tartars treat the common people."

    "Not to mention General Ma," Ren Qi stood up and said, "Since the Tartars occupied Puzhou, life has really been difficult. Corrupt officials have changed the law to collect taxes, and Tartar soldiers have also robbed the people everywhere.  Even the landlord's house will be robbed of money and food, and many landlords have fled to the south!"

    Liang Min also said: "Yes, the Tartars are more ruthless than Ming Dynasty, and they will not give us a way out. Last winter, I was so hungry that I couldn't help it, so I rebelled with Brother Lu in Fan County. The Tartars are very fierce. I really can't beat them.  Tens of thousands of people were beaten down to only two or three thousand, and Brother Lu was also captured and beheaded by the Tartars. Fan County couldn’t stay any longer, so they had to come to Shandong.”

    Zhang Qi said: "It's all the same. Ren Qi and I rebelled and killed the Tartars. Of the 20,000 people, there are only more than one thousand left. If we know that Zhao Tianwang will send troops this year, we will endure it last year. It will not be too late to rebel again this year."  .”

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Leaderssp; Cao Xing bowed his hand and returned the salute: "Where is it, I just don't want to shave my hair and keep a braid."

    I don't want to shave my hair, it's just an excuse.

    The real reason is that Zuo Liangyu's surrender can benefit, and Zhang Yingyuan's surrender can also benefit.  But Cao Xing was just a general of Zuo Liangyu's subordinates, and he was not brought along in the war, and only 800 people were left to garrison Yuncheng. What good could there be?

    Anyway, this place is not far from Xuzhou, as long as we stick to it for a while, the Datong army will definitely come over.

    Then surrender directly to the Datong Army. Cao Xing is not stupid and knows how to be more cost-effective.

    This kind of situation happened in many places in Shandong.

    ? Zuo Liangyu's troops left behind to defend the city joined forces with the rebels rising all over Shandong.  Most of them were small in number and had no combat effectiveness to speak of, but they made Hong Chengchou, Duoduo, and Zuo Liangyu extremely battered.

    They were fighting Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu on the front line, but fires broke out everywhere in the rear.

    In some counties, although there was no rebel army, the gentry found Zuo Liangyu's left-behind troops and persuaded the guards to change the banner directly.

    In a slightly remote county town, there were only a hundred soldiers left behind, and it was simply a group of talented scholars who rose up and led the city residents to drive the defenders away.

    Even the county magistrate appointed by Zuo Liangyu led the yamen servants to announce the uprising.

 Text 407 [Seizing the City Alone] (Adding Updates for the Penguin Boss)

    Jining Prefecture.

    "Report!"

    "Ni Jin, Laiwu Canon History, and Wu Ruming, a scholar, led the mob to kill the magistrate and rebel!"

    Zuo Liangyu waved his hand and said, "Understood, let's go down."

    Zuo Liangyu regretted surrendering a little. First, the situation in Shandong was too bad, and second, his whole family was taken to Beijing by Dorgon.

    Even if he chooses to defect in the future and his family members are all in Beijing, they will not be able to escape the fate of cutting off their children and grandchildren.

    Alas, I can only give birth to a son again!

    Hong Chengchou said: "My lord, the enemy in front must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more and more troubles in Shandong."

    "Then tell me, how should we suppress it?" Duoduo said unhappily.

    The place where Fei Ruhe was stationed at this time disgusted Duo Duo.

    It is called Nanyang Town, and the topography of the late Ming Dynasty is different from that of hundreds of years later.

    To the east of Nanyang Town is Dushan Lake, and to the west is Nanyang Lake.  There is only narrow land between the two lakes. The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal passes through the center of the town and meets three other rivers to the north of the town.

    In other words, Fei Ruhe's camp was surrounded by two lakes and four rivers.

    If Doduo wants to break through this place, he must first defeat the Datong Navy.

    If Duoduo attacked by detour, he must cross Heshui (Wanfu River) to the west, and Surabaya, Baima River, Beisha River, Nanliangshui, and Nansha River to the east.  No matter which side you march from, you may be hit halfway.

    Even if he was allowed to cross the river calmly, he could only capture Feng and Pei counties.  Further south is the Yellow River (Huaihe River), which will be impossible to advance or retreat, and Fei Ruhe cut off the food road to make dumplings.

    Hong Chengchou carefully studied the map and said: "If the enemy army in Nanyang Town can't be defeated, then we can only change the direction of attack. On the Jining side, leave 10,000 soldiers to garrison, and the army will retreat for the time being. One can walk along the river and go straight to the Yellow River.  On the other side, cross the river to surprise Kaocheng, but it is easy to be cut off from the grain road, and it is also easy to be discovered halfway. The second option is to go to Qingzhou and gather heavy troops to kill Zhang Tieniu and Huang Fei."

    "Did you cringe, why is it so troublesome?"

    Duoduo didn't want to fight like this, because Hong Chengchou was too stable, so stable that he was already passive.

    The Manchus did not fight so passively, they always took the initiative!

    Duoduo stared at the map for a long while, and suddenly made up his mind: "Our army has many soldiers, and the enemy has few troops. We will forcefully cross Heshui in sections. If we can't hit Nanyang Town, we will go directly to Peixian County. If we are cut off from the food road  , then grab food in Pei County and Feng County, and cut off the enemy’s food road in turn! Don’t look at Nanyang Town, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, after the food road is cut off, it will be a place of death!”

    Zuo Liangyu reminded: "Although Yutai County is my territory, the city guard has surrendered to the enemy. If you want to attack Pei County, you must first conquer Yutai."

    In the Ming Dynasty, Yutai County was much more southwest than it was a few hundred years later.

    Duoduo said: "Attacking Yutai is easier than attacking Nanyang Town. If there is no navy, it will not be possible to take down Nanyang Town after a hundred years of fighting."

    Geng Zhongming has not spoken all the time. He followed Duoduo to the expedition, and he will not steal Duduo's limelight.

    ?The Eight Banners Army that came to Shandong this time is dominated by Duduo's inlaid white banner.

    After Dorgon became the regent, he felt that his power was weak, and it happened that Duoduo committed a crime and robbed Fan Wencheng's wife.  Therefore, he took the opportunity to confiscate Duduo's 15 Niulu, and exchanged the number of his Xiangbai Banner with Duoduo's Zhengbai Banner.

    Thus, Duoduo became the owner of the inlaid white flag, and Azig became the owner of the small inlaid white flag.

    Today, Duoduo led a group of generals to meet Fei Ruhe head-on.  Azige led a group of surrendered generals to fight against Zhang Tieniu and Huang Fei in Qingzhou Prefecture.

    Duduo has about 9,000 people under the Manchurian Eight Banners, the Han Army Eight Banners, and the Mongolian Eight Banners, which is less than Fei Ruhe's 10,000 regular army.  But there are still a bunch of surrendered generals and soldiers, adding up to more than 60,000. Tang Tong and these surrendered generals are also in the Duoduo army.

    Azig who fought against Zhang Tieniu, plus the surrendered troops and generals, numbered more than 50,000

    Jinxiang.

    Yan Yingyuan, the commander-in-chief of Jiangyin on the 81st, is now the official history of Jinxiang County.

    He was originally a son of a gentry in Tongzhou. Seeing that the situation was not right, he took his whole family south to seek refuge before Li Zicheng attacked Beijing.  Traveling to Shandong, he was intercepted by soldiers again, and finally had to go to Jinxiang to join his friends.

    Some time ago, the classic history of Jinxiang passed away from the plague. Yan Yingyuan was unanimously elected as the classic history by the gentry in the neighborhood because of his effective prevention and control of the plague.

    How to prevent and control the plague?

    Just to imitate the method from the south, everyone has to wear a boiled mask when going out.  Yan Yingyuan hadn't done the canon history yet, so he was in the place where he lived, and he and his friends scoured the nearby streets, and beat anyone who didn't wear a mask immediately.

    &nbspThe soldiers had discovered the situation and surrounded them.

    Yan Yingyuan stood there alone, and said to hundreds of soldiers with a smile: "Zuo Liangyu took refuge in the Tartars, and he was enshrined as a king to enjoy wealth. Why do you take refuge in the Tartars? Are you sending them to the Tartar officials' bridal chambers for the future marriage of your children?"  ? Or do you think the little braid looks good, and you will be a girl with braids in the future?"

    Although these soldiers surrounded Yan Yingyuan, no one did anything, because Yan Yingyuan spoke to their hearts.

    Secret Work has long posted big-character posters in the city, with half-truths and half-false contents.  After the scholars read it, they all believed it, so it spread more and more widely, so that the whole city knew that a girl had to give it to the Tazi official to spend the night before getting married.

    The soldiers also heard about it, and they were very resistant to it.

    Yan Yingyuan said: "The cavalry of the Datong Army arrived in Jinxiang three days ago. The infantry of the Datong Army will come after two days. Zhao Tianwang swept across the southern provinces. Can you really stop Zhao Tianwang's heavenly soldiers and generals?  If you are an egg, follow me to seize the city!"

    The soldiers looked at each other in blank dismay, they were indeed afraid that the Datong Army would kill them.

    Yan Yingyuan stopped talking and walked forward with his knife in hand. These soldiers stepped aside one after another.

    Arriving at the edge of the city wall, Yan Yingyuan waved towards the city.

    Not long after, Dong Yongqing brought scholars, merchants and gentry, as well as their domestic slaves, and came to take over the city wall with sticks.

    Soldiers from other city walls also came running one after another. Yan Yingyuan cut off Lu Guangzu's head, held it high in his hand and shouted: "Lu Guangzu is dead, and the Heavenly Soldiers of Datong will arrive tomorrow. If you don't want to die, come and take the city with me!"

    "Kill the Tartars!" shouted a soldier from Liaodong.

    Lu Guangzu was from Liaodong. He liked to use his fellow countrymen, and when he saw those fleeing from Liaodong, he accepted them as soldiers.

    These Liaodong soldiers were the first to respond to Yan Yingyuan. They really didn't want to join the Qing Dynasty, after all, they all had blood and blood.

    In the blink of an eye, hundreds of people followed.

    Some people even reminded: "Lu Guangzu's clan brother is guarding Beicheng, he must be killed!"

    Yan Yingyuan held the knife and shouted: "Follow me to kill!"

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 408 [The more you fight, the more outrageous it is]

    Yan Yingyuan's seizure of Jinxiang was a random event.

    According to Fei Ruhe's original plan, he first went north along the Grand Canal and quickly captured the strategically important Wucheng Town.

    Then, let the civilians build fortifications, garrison with a small number of regular troops and peasant soldiers, and then return to the division to take Guting Town and Yutai County.  While ensuring your rear, attack Jinxiang again, and use artillery to smash down the city wall with all your strength, so that you can stabilize your flanks.

    The actual situation made Fei Ruhe very embarrassed. He was halfway into Yutai County.  As for Guting Town, it was seized by a group of gentry.

    This place borders Zhao Han's territory. Officials, scholars, civilians and squires dare to seize the city as long as they are brave enough, and they have no worries. The Datong Army will soon take over the city.

    Yutai was conquered, so Fei Ruhe went to fight Jinxiang again.

    A few miles away from Jinxiang County, Fei Ruhe was dumbfounded when he received the news again: "Jinxiang has also been captured? There are thousands of defenders there!"

    Tan Ma said in detail: "It was Mr. Xu who sent another spy to persuade the people in the city to seize the city. Jinxiang Dianshi called Yan Yingyuan, went to the city alone to kill the enemy generals, persuaded more than 2,000 enemy troops to surrender, and beheaded three enemy generals one after another."

    "What a warrior!" Fei Ruhe praised.

    Tan Ma also said: "Yan Dianshi asked for more troops to garrison Jinxiang, and to allocate some military rations. He said that he would bring two thousand surrendered troops and promise to take down the five cities of Shanxian, Chengwu, Caoxian, Dingtao, and Caozhou."

    Fei Ruhe said with emotion: "His tone is really loud."

    One dared to boast to Haikou, and the other dared to agree. Fei Ruhe really handed over the cities on his side to Yan Yingyuan to solve.

    If there is no Yan Yingyuan, he will send farmers, soldiers and peasants to get it done.

    Because as long as Jinxiang is won, the rest of the counties are too close to Zhao Han's territory, and most of them will choose to look forward to it.  Whoever does not surrender will face the attack of the Datong Army!

    This is the same as the situation in the north of Shandong. The defenders faced the Manchu attack directly, so they surrendered to the Manchus one after another.

    Moreover, Li Zheng's troops were fighting in Guide Mansion, and could cross the river to reinforce Fei Ruhe's flank at any time.

    Just when Fei Ruhe returned to Nanyang Town, he suddenly received a message from the emissary: ??there were a large number of ships transporting soldiers and rations, and they were mobilizing in the direction of Yanzhou and Qufu.

    Fei Ruhe hurriedly dispatched the cavalry from the west of Nanyang Town, scattered most of them to the east of Nanyang Town.

    Soon there was another news that a large number of enemy traces were found in the northwest of the Jinxiang River.

    There are people from both east and west directions. Could it be that Duoduo divides his troops to attack?

    Fei Ruhe convened the officers to discuss the matter, and discussed in detail for a long time, but he couldn't figure out what Duoduo wanted to do.

    Division deputy Wan Sitong said: "It doesn't matter what he wants to do, how to fight, how to fight, our army will pull out Teng County first. The Clippers went to inform General Zhang and asked him to leave farmers, soldiers and civilian husbands to garrison Yishui  , Juzhou, and Zhucheng, let Huang Fei stick to Weixian, Changyi, and Anqiu. Anyway, the Qingzhou government can't be moved, let General Zhang come back with the main force to help here."

    Fei Ruhe immediately understood: "Zhang Tieniu led his troops from Yizhou, along the Junhe River to Jingfei County, straight into Sishui, Qufu, and Yanzhou, and joined us in a two-sided attack. This is indeed a good strategy. I don't know if it will be in time."

    "It's too late," Wan Sitong said, "The war here won't end in a while."

    "Then do it like this!" Zhang Tieniu made a decision

    The two major battlefields of Yanzhou Prefecture, Qingzhou Prefecture, and Shandong have all been deadlocked until now.

    Both sides are thinking of ways, and the ways they came up with are exactly the same.

    Duoduo asked Hong Chengchou to garrison Jining, dispatched soldiers and generals to confuse both sides of Nanyang Town.  He personally led the main force, took the Junhe River and went straight into Yizhou, not only cutting off half of Zhang Tieniu's retreat, but also going up the river to pinch Zhang Tieniu.

    Fei Ruhe was the main force to suspend the attack on Qingzhou Prefecture, let Zhang Tieniu go back to Junhe, go straight to Surabaya and Qufu, and attack Doduo in Yanzhou.

    Zhang Tieniu and Duoduo's troops are likely to meet Ai around the corner and collide with each other along the banks of the Jun River!

    But it said Jinxiang.

    After the peasant soldiers and food transportation team sent by Fei Ruhe arrived, Yan Yingyuan immediately set off with 2,000 surrendered troops, leaving Jinxiang County to be managed by Dong Yongqing.

    Yan Yingyuan led his troops straight to Shanxian County. When he came outside the city, the county town had changed its banner.

    However, this place is very close to Dangshan. When Li Zheng sent troops to Dangshan, he sent a unit of peasants and soldiers to cross the river, and the defenders of Shanxian County directly chose to surrender.

    Yan Yingyuan made some supplies in Shan County, and then led his troops to attack Chengwu. Zhang Xiude, the guard, surrendered immediately.

    Yan Yingyuan and Zhang Xiude joined forces and went to Cao County. Li Kun, the magistrate of Cao County, responded in an uprising and killedbsp; Caozhou City.

    General Wang Chang said happily: "Young General, the night attack has succeeded, let's go out of the city to chase after him!"

    In the darkness, Tang Lun's expression was gloomy and uncertain: "General Wang, do you think the Tartars can really hold the world firmly?"

    Wang Chang said in shock: "Young General, why do you say that?"

    Tang Lun said: "The Nanjing court occupies all the wealth and wealth in the world. Even if it is not as good as the Tartars in fighting, it is by no means comparable to the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible to be defeated for thousands of miles. The Nanjing court can lose ten times, but the Tartars can only lose once or twice.  The Tatars don’t have much military rations at all, so this time we’re going south, grabbing food everywhere and robbing the peasants, how many months can the food last? Once there’s a stalemate, the Nanjing court doesn’t need to fight tough battles at all, and the Tartars can be dragged to death by holding on to the city.”

    Of course Wang Chang understood, but he said anxiously: "Major General, even though we say that, our family members are all in Beijing!"

    Tang Lun sighed: "I can only feel sorry for my parents, wife and children. Will you surrender?"

    Wang Chang hesitated and struggled for a long time, finally gritted his teeth and said, "For the righteousness of the Han family, I will surrender with the major general!"

    Tang Lun took off his helmet and cut off his braid with a knife: "General Wang, please."

    Wang Chang imitated the example, and also took off his helmet and cut his braids.

    Then, the two summoned the officers and forced the officers under their command to cut their braids, and those who did not want to cut their braids were hacked to death on the spot.

    Perhaps they really hated the Manchu customs, but they chose to defect, but it was definitely not for the righteousness of the Han family.

    Instead, the situation on the battlefield has changed. It was thought that the Eight Banners Army would be able to rush forward. As a result, the two battlefields of Yanzhou Prefecture and Qingzhou Prefecture fell into a confrontation.  In order to raise more grain, Duoduo forced Zuo Liangyu to send a large number of troops to the counties, forcibly grab grain from the people, and forced the peasants to transport the grain to the front line.

    How much food do the people have?  All the people who were robbed were gentry merchants!

    This way of doing things caused uprisings everywhere in the rear.  The gentry, merchants, civilians, and scholars all united to rebel, and more than a dozen counties planted the banner of Datong one after another.

    ? Even the Confucius family in Qufu wanted to rebel because they were ordered to donate five thousand shi of rice and wheat.

    The Kong family was robbed by the White Lotus Sect once, so there was not much food left.  In the past few years, there have been droughts, and there is no way to get five thousand stones of grain, so the shortfall has to be made up with silver.

    Many surrendered generals felt that the Tartars were going to collapse, and they were thinking about when they would take the opportunity to turn against them.

    If Duoduo and Hong Chengchou want to turn the situation around, they must win a big victory.

    Otherwise, it will really collapse, and the army rations have not been eaten yet, and a large number of surrendered generals will lead their troops back.

    Outside the city, the rebels broke up everywhere, and Ma Jinzhong, Yan Yingyuan, Zheng Peiran, Zhang Xiude and others led a small group of troops to fight against the current.  On the way, they met Li Qingshan, Shi Kuiran and Ren Qi who were fleeing, and each of these three brought dozens of volunteers to meet up.

    In the end, more than 3,000 volunteer soldiers collided with Tang Tong, and Tang Tong's 800 elite soldiers ran away in fright.

    Fleeing to the bottom of the city, Tang Tong shouted: "Open the city gate!"

    No one in the city answered.

    Tang Tong was so angry that he cursed: "Tang Lun, you are an unfilial son. I am your own uncle. How many times have I saved you on the battlefield? You are a dog, open the city gate quickly!"

    Tang Lun replied: "Uncle, surrender quickly, the Tartars are doomed to lose this time."

    Once upon a time, Cao Bianjiao also robbed the camp at night, and defeated Dorgon's camp.  Tang Tong's surrendered generals only watched from within the city, forcing Cao Bianjiao to lead his troops south to join Zhao Han.

    Now, the same situation happened, and Tang Tong was swayed by his nephew.

    Seeing the pursuers coming, Tang Tong had no choice but to shout: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!"

    Li Qingshan rushed to the front with his men, hacked to death Tang Tong who was kneeling and begging to surrender, and roared: "I managed to gather thousands of soldiers, and they were all scattered by night raids by you! Damn it, damn it!"

    This kind of battle, the fight is fucking outrageous.

    ? On the one hand, the one hundred thousand army was defeated by eight hundred, and on the other hand, he was killed by his own nephew.

    And on the bank of the Jun River, Zhang Tieniu, who made a surprise attack on Yanzhou Mansion, collided with Duoduo, who made a surprise attack on Qingzhou Mansion.  This is the only way for both sides to outflank the enemy!  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Text 409【Front-on combat】

    Xia Town.

    It was only upgraded to a town in the third year of Longqing, and it was still called Xiacun in the middle of Ming Dynasty.

    This is because of the completion of the new canal for water transport, the number of ships at Xiacun Port has increased dramatically, and local industry and commerce have become increasingly prosperous.

    Hundreds of years later, Xia Town will develop into Weishan County.

    Weishan Lake in the late Ming Dynasty has not yet fully formed.  However, during the Wanli period, the Yellow River breached, forming a wetland in this low-lying area, and a few more breaches would turn it into a lake.

    An arrow-shaped boat quickly sailed to the port and shouted: "Eight hundred miles, hurry up!"

    The other two small boats in the port immediately came to meet them.

    "Where are you going?"

    "Go to Yishui County and give it to General Zhang Tieniu!"

    The two newly departed small boats each received four military documents, and headed southeast like arrows leaving the string.

    Whichever ship arrives at the next station first, will hand over the military information first, and sail directly to the final point.

    In ancient China's wars, rivers were very important.

    Throughout the dynasties, large-scale southern expeditions or northern expeditions, the main force almost always followed the river.  Because the food can be transported by boat, it can not only speed up the marching speed, but also greatly reduce the number of civilians and greatly reduce the consumption of military food.

    The Datong Army, which started in Jiangxi, has already made great use of inland river boats.

    A specially built boat was transformed from a small fishing boat.  Because of the lengthening and narrowing of the hull, the shape of the ship is like an arrow, so it is also called "arrow ship".

    When going against the current, the two of them paddle together, and they can take turns to rest at other times.

    If you don't show your physical strength and move forward at full speed, in still water, the speed can reach more than 40 miles per hour.

    Of course, this will make people tired.  Generally, general military information is conveyed. The speed in still water is about 25 to 30 miles per hour, and the paddlers can row very calmly.

    Fei Ruhe's military order started from Nanyang Town, followed the Grand Canal to Xiacun (in the Weishan Lake in later generations), walked another section of the canal across Taizhuang (Taierzhuang), and turned into Yishui River until Yishui County.

    ?The whole river course is about 700 miles, and people and boats were changed ten times in the middle. It only took three days from Nanyang Town to Yishui.  This is also because the speed slows down at night, and the countercurrent speed is also very slow, otherwise it can be reached in a day or two.

    Zhang Tieniu was not in Yishui County at this time, but in Muling Pass further north.

    The military situation was transferred from the boat to the horse, and the fast horse was delivered to Zhang Tieniu.

    "But is there something urgent in Yanzhou?" Yan Guoshi, the missionary officer, asked.

    Zhang Tieniu said: "Lao Fei's side is also frozen. Let us lead the troops to attack. Here, only farmers and soldiers are left to defend the city. If we can't get away from here, we don't have to go there. Anyway, the Tatars don't have as much rations as we do. It's too late."  The longer it takes, the more panicked the Tartars will be, and they will make mistakes.”

    ?Deputy teacher Chen Fugui said: "Let's go, Qingzhou government can't fight anymore."

    "I'm planning to go there too, I'm too lazy to waste time with the Tartars." Zhang Tieniu said depressedly.

    The battle situation in Qingzhou Prefecture also froze. Huang Fei successfully occupied Anqiu County, Changle County, and Guangling Town, while Zhang Tieniu occupied Zhucheng County and Muling Pass, and sent farmers and soldiers to take Rizhao and Andongwei.

    Just when the war was about to break out between the two sides, Azig, the owner of the small banner with a white flag, suddenly heavily defended Qingzhou Prefecture (Yidu), Linqu and Shouguang.

    The Manchus just defended the city, waiting for Zhang Tieniu and Huang Fei to attack.

    Zhang Tieniu and Huang Fei are not fools either, their military strength is not superior, how could they forcefully attack a city guarded by tens of thousands of people?

    Therefore, Zhang Tieniu withdrew to Muling Pass, and Huang Fei also retreated to his own strong city.

    This situation is very common during wars.

    If neither side has an overwhelming advantage, as long as one side cannot hold on, the other side can only retreat, or even defend the city for several years.  For example, Jinzhou and Ningyuan in Liaodong have held on for more than ten years. Every time the Tartars surrounded them because they were short of food, they would retreat back to their hometown in desperation.

    On the Qingzhou government side, it's not that Azig doesn't want to fight a tough battle, but the rear is on fire.

    The soldiers and generals under his command fought too hard in Shandong.  Thousands of potters and glass workers in Yanshen Town rose up because they had no food to eat, and even conquered Zichuan County in one fell swoop.

    Then it went straight to Changshan County, and the people along the way joined in one after another. Some gentry even recruited village braves, and the number of volunteer soldiers quickly exceeded 30,000.

    If the fight continues, Azig's grain road will be cut off.

    The troops of Qingzhou Prefecture in the Manchu Qing Dynasty could only temporarily defend the city with heavy troops, and sent cavalry and thousands of elites back to fight the rebels first.

    After Zhang Tieniu sent someone to send a message to Huang Fei, he took the regular army southward and took a boat from Yishui County to Yizhou.  Turning to the northwest again, taking the Junhe River to Qufu, Fei County on the way has been occupied by the Datong Army, but only 3,000 peasants and soldiers were sent to defend the city.

    ? Just leave Yizhounbsp; Surrendered general Hao Zhongzhong, timidly led the troops forward.

    Zhang Tieniu observed with a binoculars in his hand, and said, "A group of miscellaneous soldiers don't need to fire cannons."

    Hao Xiaozhong advanced dozens of steps, becoming more and more frightened as he walked, and finally received an order to stop the march.

    The two sides were so deadlocked.

    However, the cavalry has already joined the battle. There are about 3,000 cavalry in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, and about 2,500 cavalry in Datong.

    General Ild led the cavalry into battle, and the formation was so loose that Zhang Tieniu didn't even bother to fire.  Yard still wants to play the old trick, constantly cruising and luring, trying to lure the Datong cavalry out for melee and annihilation.

    The cavalry general of Datong is Ma Wannian, grandson of Qin Liangyu. Facing the temptation of the enemy cavalry, he directly ordered the whole army to dismount: "Light the matchlock and load the ammunition!"

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Due to the long distance and the loose formation of the Manchu and Qing cavalry, only two enemy cavalry were shot down in one volley of guns.

    Moreover, all the horses were shot, and the cavalry was thrown off by the pain.  At such a distance, even if it hits the cavalry, the bullet will not be able to penetrate the cotton armor.

    Duoduo also got a pair of binoculars, and said in surprise: "This is the firecracker cavalry that the spies said? My Qing cavalry tactics are useless against this kind of cavalry. In the future, cavalry will probably not be able to wear armor when fighting.  Kill the horse and go to close combat."

    At this time, a large number of civilian men came to dig trenches around the Datong Army's position with hoes and shovels in hand.

    Seeing this, Duoduo immediately ordered: "Attack quickly, don't let the enemy dig the ditch well, then our army's chariots will not be able to get through! The artillery battalion advances and bombards the peasants on the opposite side!" The genius remembered the address of this site in a second  ?

 Text 410 [Kill the Miscellaneous Soldiers First] (addition for the penguin boss)

    After the reform of Huang Taiji, the elite troops of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties are as follows——

    Ba Yala Camp: A Niulu (300 households) selects 17 strongest warriors as the Ba Yala soldiers.

    A Lihachaoha camp: that is, the Qing cavalry.

    Gabush Xianying Camp: The elite selected from the Bayala soldiers are the forward troops on the two wings.

    Wuzhen Hachao Battalion: There are Han Army Banner Firearms Troops and Han Army Banner Heavy Armored Infantry Battalion.

    There is also a special unit called "sizu", that is, the coated slaves who fight with the Eight Banners soldiers.  The main functions are: assisting in robbery, taking care of property, escorting captives, and temporarily serving as civilian husband and cannon fodder.

    Duduo came to Shandong this time to fight, and his troops were mainly inlaid with white flags, but the source of troops was somewhat confused.

    Due to the fact that Dorgon took away fifteen cattle records, Duoduo's direct troops became very few.  But you can't just bring those people to the battlefield, so you throw some generals with other flags to cooperate.

    Dorgon felt that Shandong was unstable, so he threw Zeyuan, the deputy capital commander of the Han army Xiangbaiqi, over.

    Zu Zeyuan was Zu Dashou's servant, and he set off a bit late. At this time, he had just arrived in Jining with his troops, and confronted Fei Ruhe with Hong Chengchou.

    In addition, in addition to the Eight Banners Army and the Daming General, Duduo also has 1,500 Korean firearms soldiers.

    These blunderbuss soldiers were personal soldiers of the Korean king. They were often conscripted by the Qing Dynasty to fight, and they simply did not return them.

    At this moment, the artillery unit under Geng Zhongming's command was pulled out to bombard the civilian husbands of the Datong Army.  But only two guns did this, and the rest continued to advance.  On the way forward, one door was blasted away, and the rest were fired at the artillery of the Datong Army.

    The chariots moved forward slowly, followed by Li Shutai, Geng Zhongming's Han Banner Heavy Armored Infantry, and Doduo's Gabush Xian Battalion.

    Duoduo personally led 1500 Ba Yala soldiers and advanced together as the Chinese army.

    As for the surrendered soldiers and the North Korean firecrackers, they advanced slowly, and under the cover of the cavalry of the Gabush Xianying Camp, they circled around the flanks of the Datong Army, and by the way attracted the artillery of the Datong Army.

    Although the Manchus attached great importance to artillery, Geng Zhongming really didn't have many artillery in his hands.

    Some of them were dragged away by Dorgon and taken to Henan to fight. Now there are only ten artillery pieces, two of which are Franco cannons.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The artillery of the two sides fired at each other, and the Datong Army had twenty-five artillery pieces.

    After a round of confrontation, the Manchu Qing artillery was smashed again, and only a few artillerymen of the Datong Army died.

    "Speed ??up!" Duoduo hurriedly sent an order.

    The opposite side is too extravagant, there are only 10,000 troops, but there are so many artillery.

    When the Ming army fought in the field, they generally used Huzun cannons, Flang cannons, and Hongyi cannons to defend the city.  The Qing army rarely encountered such a situation, and the Datong army actually carried twenty-five red barbarian cannons into field battles.

    Hmm The Ming and Qing Dynasties called all front-loading cannons Hongyi cannons.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    It was another round of shelling, and the Manchu artillery was smashed again, and another four shells fell into the Manchu infantry formation.

    "Boom!"

    One of the shells hit the car hard.

    Even though it was wrapped in cowhide and iron sheets, one corner of the cart was smashed.  The solid iron bullet jumped two feet high towards the sky with the remaining power, and fell down and hit a hapless elite soldier of Kabush.

    As for the wagon, at first glance only one corner was damaged, but the side pillar on the same side was broken.

    Being pushed forward a few steps, the entire wooden shield fell backwards, and the cowhide and iron pieces dragged and did not fall down completely.  One of the shooting positions of the chariot was abolished, and the number of infantry that could be covered was also reduced by one-third.

    The civilians of the Datong Army have all retreated, and only the artillery is attacking in front of the formation.

    A shell flew in and hit three artillerymen of the Datong Army. Two were killed and one was injured. The injured one lost his right leg.

    However, the Manchu Artillery Battalion suffered even worse losses.

    This time, not only were four cannons hit, but also Lu Zhineng, the "Guan Hongyi Cannon General" of Daming who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty with Geng Zhongming, was also hit by the artillery shells of the Datong Army.

    Lu Zhineng was directing the adjustment of the muzzle, when an iron bullet whizzed towards him, his whole head was like a shattered watermelon, and in an instant, only the neck was left standing still.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Facing the terrifying firepower, the artillery commander of one's own side died again, and the Manchu Qing artillery directly collapsed, abandoned the artillery position, turned around and fled.

    "Boom!"

    Another wagon was hit, this time right in the center.

    Wrapped with cowhide and iron sheets to release the force, the wooden shield was not directly shattered, but the wooden beam below was broken.  Not only the car was scrapped, but also collapsed.Effective defense against bows and arrows.  Yard threatened to charge again, and threw a horse on horseback, feeling like he was doing nothing.

    Of course, Ma Wannian's harassment was also useful, that is, it slowed down the progress of some Eight Banners soldiers.

    "Boom!"

    Another four chariots were destroyed, and a few shells rolled into the formation of the Eight Banners soldiers.

    Duduo issued an order to let the troops who were destroyed by the chariot speed up and launch an attack.

    Those armored Manchu archers and firecrackers began to shoot at about forty steps.  The sword and shield soldiers of the Datong Army stepped forward to cover the artillery so that the artillery could continue to bombard.

    Zhang Tieniu didn't wait for the twenty-step shot, and ordered the firecrackers to come forward, first to fire in three bursts.

    There cannot be dogmatism in war. In this case, twenty-step shooting cannot be tolerated.

    The two sides are separated by forty steps, whether they can hit or not is purely a matter of fate.  Even if they hit, they might not be able to pierce the cotton armor. Anyway, they fired guns at each other and listened to the excitement.

    "Peng!"

    The distance between each other is getting closer and closer, and the artillery fire has become more accurate. This time, five wagons were destroyed at once.

    Duduo once again issued an order to let the troops that had not been destroyed in the chariot stand at the front, and the rest of the Eight Banners soldiers were all squeezed behind the chariot.  All the archers hide behind the chariot and shoot, this distance can already shoot and kill the enemy.

    The last round of artillery fire directly destroyed eight chariots. The Datong Army moved forward to protect the artillery positions, and the firecrackers also withdrew to be protected by sword and shield hands.

    Both Zhang Tieniu and Duoduo were a little nervous, because this series of changes was done in an orderly manner, and they were definitely rare rivals in their lives.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Body 411 [Flesh and blood fight]

    ,

    "Beep beep beep!"

    "Beep beep beep!"

    After Ma Wannian received the order, he brought back the dragoons immediately, and entangled with Yide's Manqing Xiaoqi, because the Datong firecrackers behind the cover side were about to switch positions.

    Seeing the dragoons coming back here, Ild was very upset, but he could only fight with Ma Wannian.

    If Ma Wannian doesn't come back again, when all the firecrackers in Datong are transferred to the front row, Man Qing Xiaoqi can take out heavy arrows and shoot flat at close range.

    There are three kinds of arrows in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, namely: covered arrows, stabbing arrows, and sentry arrows.

    Phi arrows are commonly known as Manchu Heavy Arrows. The arrows are inverted triangles and look like small shovels.

    This thing is extremely powerful. Under close range shooting, it can penetrate two layers of leather armor, one layer of chain armor, and one layer of iron leaf.  Iron helmets will also be penetrated, and the bamboo helmets of the Datong Army with iron plates are also unable to prevent them.

    Moreover, even if the heavy arrows of the Qing Dynasty cannot penetrate the armor, they can still cause a heavy blow effect, just like being hit by a bullet while wearing a body armor, the impact alone is very uncomfortable.

    The core tactics of Manchu battles were to rely on chariots to advance, and then shoot heavy arrows at close range.

    The elite servants of the Ming border generals were often shot into chaos, or simply collapsed on the spot.

    A soldier who can hold two rounds of heavy arrows is definitely called an elite soldier, and a soldier who can hold three rounds belongs to the dead!

    Of course, Manqing heavy arrows also have weaknesses.

    That is, the arrow is too heavy to be thrown, and can only be shot flat from 30 meters to 50 meters.

    30 meters is 20 steps, that is the world of Datong firecrackers.

    As for the Manchu thorn arrows, the arrow body is slender and light, and the arrowhead is also slender and sharp.  It has strong penetrating power for leather armor and is mostly used for long-range shooting, but its power is not very great, and the Datong Army can completely take it down.

    At this moment, the cavalry of both sides entangled again.

    While the Qing infantry was still advancing, the archers hid behind the chariots and used stabbing arrows to project long distances.

    38 Manchu chariots have been defeated, and only 59 are still moving forward, exposing a large number of Manchu infantry.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The artillery of the Datong Army rang again, and the artillery position was on a small mound.

    Even mounds are not counted, just relatively raised flat ground.

    After adjusting the angle of the artillery, the solid bullets passed over the heads of the Datong army, aiming specifically at the infantry of the Qing army who were not protected by chariots.

    One of the shells, after killing the two people in front of them, continued to bounce and roll along the ground with huge kinetic energy, smashing into twelve calves of the Manchu infantry one after another.

    "Ah, my feet!"

    "My leg is broken, my leg is broken!"

    In the large infantry formation of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, some who survived after being shot, and who were not unconscious on the spot, hugged their broken legs and hissed and howled.

    Until now, due to the destruction of 40% of the chariots, the Manchu tactics of chariots, heavy arrows, and heavy infantry have been greatly reduced in effect.

    Because according to the fixed routine, after the chariot is pushed forward, it has to hide behind and throw a stabbing arrow.  Wait until the enemy is shot in a panic before using heavy arrows to carry out a devastating blow. If you directly let the elite archers stand up, they will become the target of the enemy's firecrackers!

    Duduo was a little anxious, because the front line of the Datong Army did not waver in the slightest because of three consecutive rounds of stabbing arrows.

    Chen Dafeng was a Zhejiang soldier who was conscripted into the army after only serving as a farmer for one year.  A few months ago when the army was expanded, he was promoted to be the head of the post. At this moment, he was holding a long gun and hiding behind the rattan plate.

    "Well!"

    A stabbing arrow was thrown, fell from top to bottom, rubbed against the edge of the rattan plate, and stabbed obliquely into his shoulder.

    It doesn't penetrate deep into the flesh, it only pierces the flesh, but it hurts a little.

    Chen Dafeng heard a muffled groan from the rattan player, but was pierced by an arrow through his left foot.

    "Hold it, don't move, don't move!" Chen Dafeng urged repeatedly, also to encourage himself.

    Another wave of arrows flew in, and several rattan players in the front row fell down.

    Some arrows even hit the firecrackers, but the firecrackers retreated and still stopped fighting.

    ? Simply resisting the projectiles of Manqing archers, an elite archer, if he does not rest, can shoot more than ten arrows in a row at most.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The artillerymen of the Datong Army are constantly busy. In this case, there is no need to fire salvos. Whoever loads the shells will fire first.

    ?The Datong Army carried bows and arrows hard, and the Eight Banners Army carried artillery hard, and the two sides accumulated little by little.

    A Manchu commander rode up to Doduo on horseback: "Your Highness the Ten Kings, stabbed arrows won't work, please use heavy arrows!"

    Li Soltai also rode it himselfIf so, the combat effectiveness will plummet.

    Well, Manchu archers also wear heavy armor and are also melee soldiers!

    Without waiting for the Chinese army's order, Chen Fugui ordered the battalions of the firecrackers to line up across the defense line of the melee soldiers.

    Chen Dafeng got up from the ground, he was shot in the shoulder by an arrow, and continued to bleed.  Not only was his shoulder numb, but his entire left arm also had no strength.

    "Third Battalion, those who are still alive, stand up!" Chen Dafeng held a long spear in one hand, ready to step forward to meet the firecrackers at any time.

    Thirty steps, twenty steps

    "Fire the gun!"

    2500 firecrackers, three-stage continuous fire.

    Duduo put down the binoculars, then picked up the binoculars again, he was dumbfounded.

    The heavy armored soldiers of the Han Army Banner have already collapsed, some of the Eight Banners are still charging, and some of the Eight Banners have already collapsed.

    Senior traitor Li Sutai fell to the ground at this moment, his body still twitching.

    Geng Zhongming's horse was shot, throwing him to the ground and breaking his leg, he limped back enduring the pain.

    "On the bayonet!"

    "Grenadier!"

    "Vine card player, spearman, all step forward!"

    Chen Dafeng held a heavy arrow and a stabbing arrow on his shoulder, and led his troops forward with a spear in one hand.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The elite of the Eight Banners who were still charging encountered the enemy of thousands of people head-on.  After the explosion, more than 400 people fled again.

    The grenadiers threw two bombs each, and also drew their waist knives and charged forward.

    Li Guoying's department, who had already sideways, ignored him at all.  At this moment, he could rush to the Datong army immediately, but he was really terrified so far.

    I heard that Emperor Zhao had a lot of troops like this, and the Manchus still have nothing to do with the world!

    Li Guoying cut off her braid before the battle, raised her knife and shouted: "Han Jia Erlang, follow me to kill the Tartars!"

    This guy actually got cold feet.

    "Toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot"

    The charge horn rang, and all the firecrackers put on their bayonets, aiming at the ones that hadn't fled.

    The rattan card player threw away the rattan card, held a waist knife, and rushed forward with the spearman and the grenadier.

    Chen Dafeng held the spear with one hand, and threw himself forward, another spearman had already reached the enemy.  The two of them stabbed Hongba Yala's elite soldiers together, but it was really just a stabbing, because they didn't pierce the armor.

    The three of them rolled together, their weapons no longer functioning, and they fought like a street brawl.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    A cannonball smashed Duoduo's commander-in-chief flag, but the artillery was still firing.

    "The enemy general is dead!"

    Doduo ran away on horseback. This was not the first time he had escaped, and he had a history of running away before.

    The Eight Banners soldiers, the whole army collapsed, only the more than 2,000 cavalry remained.

    Yide wanted to take the cavalry to join Dodo, but Ma Wannian's dragoons stopped him.  It didn't matter that there were so many of them, they led the troops and fled towards the mountains to the north.

    Many of the cavalry led by Keyilde were Dodor's bannermen.

    These banner men did not dare to leave Duoduo and escape, otherwise they would die if they fled back.  More than 2,000 Manqing Xiaoqi were actually divided into two, and one of them went desperately to find Duoduo.

    Ma Wannian led his troops to entangle these guys to fight, and sent another 500 riders to chase directly in the direction of Duoduo.

    "Father, get on the horse!" Geng Jimao got a war horse from nowhere.

    Supported by his son, Geng Zhongming wanted to climb onto the horse.

    The Datong army was chasing after him from behind, Geng Jimao suddenly pushed his father onto the horse's back, then got on the horse and fled far away.

    Geng Zhongming had a broken leg, and his son pushed him so hard that he almost fell off the horse from the other side under the pain.

    Before he could sit still, the Datong army grabbed his broken leg and pulled him off the horse desperately.

    Another Datong army, holding a firecracker, pierced his face with a bayonet, causing Geng Zhongming to scream in pain.

    Another bayonet stabbed at the throat, Geng Zhongming drew the knife and slashed wildly, wounding the Datong soldier's arm, and then died himself.

 Body 412 [Hunter]

    The cavalry commander who was assigned to pursue Duoduo was named Liang Zhen.

    His ancestors were Mongols, later he became a Korean, and now he is a Han.

    His ancestor was Bazaravarmi, king of Yuanliang.

    In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the family members of Yuanliang King were exiled to Jeju Island.  In the 21st and 25th year of Hongwu, the other Mongolian princes were exiled.

    The Mongolian power became stronger and stronger on Jeju Island. The king of North Korea was afraid of accidents, so he moved some to the mainland of North Korea and gave them land for them to multiply.  After that, more and more people moved, trying not to let the Mongols get together on the island.

    Liang Zhen's branch has been the horse breeder of Jeju Island for generations.  Although he can't speak Chinese, he has always known Chinese characters and kept his family tree.

    After the Datong Army occupied Jeju Island, Liang Zhen's father took the initiative to join him and helped raise and manage the war horses.

    Liang Zhen was recruited as Datong Dragoons because of his proficiency in riding and archery skills.  There are more than 30 soldiers in Jeju Island like him in the Datong Army, and Liang Zhen is the one who has been promoted the fastest.

    Encountered routs along the way, the five hundred dragoons ignored them, and pursued in the direction of Doduo.

    Although Doduo was riding a BMW, he was wearing full armor and three bags of arrows. How could he run faster than the lightly armed dragoons?

    "Go and block the pursuers!"

    Duduo ordered the soldiers who fled with him, these are the elite Hongba Yala soldiers.

    The Ba Yala soldiers knew they were dead, but they still reined in their horses and turned around, as if they were fighting to block the pursuing enemy.

    Liang Zhen brandished his sword to give instructions, ordering a hundred cavalry to surround and kill these ten people.  He took the remaining 400 people and went around to continue chasing Duoduo.

    Duduo looked back and sped up in fright.  He drew his knife to cut the rope, discarded the quiver containing heavy arrows and sentry arrows, and then took off the helmet and threw it away.

    He still felt that it was too late, so he took off his armor in a panic. After running for a long time, he finally took off his cotton jacket.

    But the chain mail cannot be taken off for the time being.

    Seeing that he couldn't get rid of the pursuers, and there was a small river blocking the way, Duoduo didn't dare to flee along the river to Surabaya, so he took the reins and ran to Yimeng Mountain in the north.

    Isn't it just fleeing into a ravine?

    Dodo has experience!

    Liang Zhen chased more and more impatiently, his mount was weak, but Duoduo rode a BMW.  If it weren't for the river blocking the way, it is estimated that the other party would have escaped.

    After chasing until evening, both sides got into Yimeng Mountain and continued to run along the ravine.

    The sky was getting dark and the moon was not bright, so it was difficult to see the road in the mountains clearly.

    Several dragoons fell off their horses one after another, and Duduo was not much better.  This guy rode his horse in the dark, suddenly the horse stumbled and was thrown out violently.

    Sprained my ankle.

    Duduo was thrown to the ground, and the pain in his ankle made him sober up, so he immediately climbed up the hill with pain.

    After a while, the Datong dragoons came after them, barely seeing the mount by the moonlight.

    "The Tartars have abandoned their horses!"

    Liang Zhen got off his horse and bent over to check, but the light was too dim to see the footprints clearly.

    Fortunately, the dragoons had torches on their bodies, so they got dead branches and leaves nearby, tied them up with the prepared matchlocks, and made them into very simple torches.

    Search closely and find out the situation quickly.

    Especially on the hillside, when Duoduo climbed, he left a lot of traces along the way.

    Liang Zhen ordered: "Leave ten people to guard the horses, and the others will abandon their horses and chase after me!"

    The simple torch is not powerful, it burns and goes out sometimes.  After climbing up the small mountain ridge, some traces of Doduo's escape became shallower, and the pursuit speed also slowed down a lot.

    In fact, Doduo has completely lost his sense of direction and only knows to run along the mountain ridge.  He sprained his ankle and limped, and he cut off the scabbard to use as a crutch.  Thinking that he was running too slowly, he took off his chain mail and threw it away.

    In a daze, Duoduo slipped on his foot and rolled down the mountain ridge.

    His whole body was wounded in many places by branches and stones, and his waist was hit by a convex stone.  Doduo felt pain all over his body, staggered to his feet, and continued to run aimlessly.

    After fleeing for most of the night, Duoduo finally couldn't hold on anymore, and felt that the pursuers had been thrown off, so he lay down to recover his strength.

    Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

    When I woke up the next day, the sky was already bright, and I didn't know what time it was.

    Duduo looked up at the sky, trying to identify the direction through the sun, but it turned out to be a cloudy sky.

    It's not a cloudy day. Looking at the dark clouds all over the sky, I'm afraid it will rain.

    This year's Shandong, except for the prefectures and counties close to Henan, the rest of the places have also recovered, and finally no longer have the severe drought as in previous years.

    "Boom!arm.

    Arrow after arrow was shot, deliberately not hitting the fatal part.

    After finishing shooting the Manchu stabbing arrows, Yang Fu bent down to pick up the bone arrows that Duduo had pulled out, and shot them all back at Duduo.

    After the arrow was shot, Yang Fu asked, "Does it hurt?"

    Doduo had difficulty breathing and was unable to speak, but his eyes were wide open.

    Yang Fu pulled out several arrows and shot them back one by one to Duoduo, and asked again: "Does it hurt?"

    Duduo lowered his hands.

    When Liang Zhen arrived with his troops, Duoduo had already turned into a hedgehog.

    I don't know whether he bled to death or died of suffocation because he couldn't breathe.

    Seeing that Liang Zhen seemed to be an officer, Yang Fu said expressionlessly: "I killed the man, and I don't want any rewards. My whole family is gone, and I want to kill the Tartars with you."

    Liang Zhen took one more look at Doduo's tragic situation, swallowed his saliva, and said in poor Chinese: "I am the one who leads the soldiers, and the recruitment is not my responsibility. Youyou have made great contributions, and I will report it to you."

    (Two updates today.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 413【Repeated horizontal jump】

    However, on the frontal battlefield, if the Qing army wanted to escape back, they had to cross several small rivers on the way.

    Those are all tributaries of the Junhe River, originating in the Yimeng Mountains, all of which flow into the Junhe River and then into Yishui.  The widest part of the river is more than 20 meters, and the narrowest point is only a few meters. It is the main source of irrigation water between the Junhe River and Yimeng Mountain.

    The defeated Qing army ran back several miles, and saw a small river blocking the way ahead.

    Most of them, like Dodo, ran north along the creek.  They would definitely not be able to run to the source of the river, and they would have to go deep into Yimeng Mountain, but otherwise they had nowhere to escape, so they could only escape wherever they wanted.

    Chen Dafeng, who was chasing with a spear in one arm, had fainted at this time, but his soldiers were still chasing and killing.

    Xue Jizong is the captain under Chen Dafeng's command. There are thirty people in a team, and only fourteen are active.  Nine of them were shot to death by heavy arrows from the Qing Dynasty on the spot, and several others were injured and fell to the ground. I don't know how many can be saved in the end.

    His eyes are red now, and there are two Manchu Qing stabbing arrows stuck in his body, chasing and killing the defeated soldiers of the Eight Banners desperately.

    An Eight Banners soldier lost his strength and fell down. Xue Jizong rushed up and shot him.

    The broken soldier was lying on the ground, and wanted to cut off Xue Jizong's calf with a knife.  There was a rattan player next to him, who had already thrown away his shield, swung his waist knife and slashed, cutting off the Eight Banners soldier's right hand at the wrist.

    Xue Jizong stabbed the enemy's throat with a single shot, drew his gun and continued to chase.

    There were four rout soldiers in front of them, wearing heavy armor and running for a few miles. At this moment, they couldn't run anymore, kneeling down and panting heavily, begging for surrender.  In order to show sincerity, he even threw away the weapon.

    Xue Jizong had killed red eyes a long time ago, forgetting the rule of the Datong Army not to kill prisoners of war.

    He led the team forward with guns, stabbing two of them to death one after another, while his teammates stabbed the remaining two to death.

    "Come on, avenge Datong brothers!" Xue Jizong completely forgot about his fatigue, and forgot that he had chased and killed for several miles in armor.  All he knew was that more than half of his team had been killed or wounded, and he wanted to kill all the Tartars for revenge.

    The Datong Army has never suffered such a large number of casualties in its southern and northern wars. The whole army is full of grief and anger at this moment!

    "Da da da da!"

    However, a hundred dragoons came after them, and they had already dealt with the soldiers who had died for Doduo.

    The dragoons rushed to the north to block the river, and the infantry chased it from the south and east.  The soldiers of the Eight Banners panicked, and thousands of people jumped into the river to escape for their lives.

    ? Manchu Eight Banners, the armor rate is 100%, it doesn't matter whether you can swim or not, you will definitely drown if you jump into the river wearing heavy armor.

    Those dragoons continued to chase north, dragging their knives to cut the rout soldier's neck, because other parts could not be cut through.

    Ma Wannian led two thousand dragon cavalry, and was chasing and killing more than one thousand Man Qing cavalry.  These are all the Alihachaoha Battalion directly under Duoduo. They are the elite of the Eight Banners elite. They mount their horses as cavalry and dismount as infantry.

    Yide ran away with his cavalry, but the thousands of cavalry in front of him wanted to come back to rescue Doduo.

    When the rescue was fruitless and there were enemies on all sides, he could only choose to run to the mountains in the north.

    The ravine was getting narrower and narrower, and it was completely dead. These Man Qingxiao rode and abandoned their horses to climb the mountain, wanting to climb to the hillside and shoot arrows to kill the pursuers.

    "Get off the horse!"

    Ma Wannian gave an order, and the messenger blew the horn, and the two thousand dragoons immediately turned into gunfire infantry.

    Both sides belong to the heterogeneous cavalry, and Manqing Xiaoqi is also a master of infantry combat.

    The cavalry pursuit battle instantly turned into a mountain infantry battle.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    Both sides were completely dispersed, with no formation at all, and they fired at each other with firecrackers and bows.

    The dragoons are at a disadvantage here, because the distance is too far, and the hit rate of the bird gun is greatly reduced.  He didn't dare to get too close, because the enemy still had heavy arrows in his hand.

    Then shake people!

    Ma Wannian sent two riders out of the mountain, blowing the horn for reinforcements all the way.

    Before the reinforcements arrived, those Manqing Xiaoqi chose to launch a countercharge, because if they dragged on, they would surely die.

    "Gather soldiers, get on your horses!"

    "woo woo woo woo!"

    The horn blew, and the dragoons who had completely dispersed retreated to the ravine to ride horses, riding horses to keep the distance from Manqing Xiaoqi.  They didn't even wear leather armor, so it was naturally impossible for them to fight an enemy in full armor.

    After running back for a certain distance, the dragoons stepped up to reload the gunpowder.

    Some people's matches are about to burn out, and they also take advantage of the gap to replace them.

    Man Qingxiao's cavalry mounted their horses again, this time they didn't even throw arrows, and they rushed over desperately wanting to fight on horseback.

    Because the valley here is too narrow, the cavalry of both sides cannot line up.?The ten kings ordered me to come back and defend the city of Surabaya to prevent it from being attacked by puppet troops in the south.  General Xu, quickly open the city gate and let my soldiers come in to defend the city.  "

    Xu Ensheng became more suspicious, frowned and said: "Since His Royal Highness brought troops back to defend, why didn't he ride a horse? He walked all the way back." He pointed to the outside of the city again, "And these soldiers don't even have weapons in their hands.  Where did you go?"

    Geng Jimao said impatiently: "What nonsense, open the city quickly!"

    Xu Ensheng was terrified in his heart. He had already guessed the truth, but he couldn't believe it. He confirmed, "Has the ten kings been defeated? Your Royal Highness, you have to tell the truth so that I can arrange the city defense. Otherwise, what should the enemy do if they kill you?"  ?”

    How can this situation be concealed?

    Geng Jimao could only bite the bullet and say: "Our army has suffered a small defeat, and we are forming camp to confront the enemy."

    Xu Ensheng said: "Since the two armies are facing each other, it is more appropriate to send more reinforcements. How can His Royal Highness divide the troops and come back to defend Sishui County?"

    "This" Geng Jimao couldn't answer.

    Xu Ensheng asked: "Is it because our army has been defeated?"

    Geng Jimao was still stubborn: "It's just a small defeat."

    "Clang!"

    ? Xu Ensheng drew his knife and slashed, beheading Geng Jimao who was crossing the river without his armor.

    Geng Jimao fell down in pain, and angrily said: "I am the son of Prince Huaishun of the Qing Dynasty, how dare you kill me to rebel?"

    Xu Ensheng sneered and made up the knife, but Geng Jimao was unwilling to die tragically.

    After killing Geng Jimao, Xu Ensheng cut off his own braid, raised his knife and shouted: "Duoduo has been defeated, open the city gate quickly, and follow me out to kill the Tartars!"

    There were only 3,000 defenders in Sishui County, but the 6,000 routs outside the city had no fighting power in themselves, not to mention that they were already tired and hungry when they fled from the defeat, and their weapons were also thrown away during the escape.

    ? Xu Ensheng led his troops to fight out, but the rout in Shandong did not resist at all, and knelt down to beg for surrender.

    A large number of soldiers wrapped themselves in clothes, turned around and ran away in fright.

    They did not dare to surrender, and every time the Tartars entered and plundered, they were accomplices, and they had committed countless crimes.

    But how can you escape when you are tired and hungry?

    In order to show his attitude of breaking with the Manchu Qing, Xu Ensheng ordered: "Screen out the captives, and kill all the coated slaves!"

    These Shandong generals, how fast they surrendered to the Manchus before, are now rebelling against the Manchus.

    Whoever is stronger, they will follow!

    &lt;/div&gt

 Body 414【Siege Artillery】

    Jining.

    The news that Duoduo's main force had left only deceived Fei Ruhe for less than ten days. After all, there are Datong troops in every city.  Although Duoduo came up with all kinds of deceiving tricks, the transfer of supplies still cannot deceive people.

    There is no way to chase. If Zhang Tieniu hadn't returned to the army early, Yizhou City could only be carried by the peasants and soldiers defending the city.

    Fei Ruhe chose to attack Jining regardless of the enemy's main force, because the siege artillery was brought in!

    A total of six siege cannons were built, three of which were made in Macau, shipped to the Yangtze River by sea, and then sent to Fei Ruhe by the Grand Canal.  The other three were manufactured in Jiangxi and shipped all the way to the battlefield in Henan.

    These siege guns have a body weight of 3.5 tons and a diameter of about 20 cm. According to the British name, they should be called "63-pound guns".

    Zhao Han borrowed this method and localized it, calling it "Forty-seven Jin Pao" (57.15 Jin).

    But the "forty-seven catties gun" is really not imposing. Some soldiers followed the name of the Ming Dynasty and still called it "the mighty general gun", or they called it "six thousand catties gun" based on the weight of the gun body (actually 7000 catties).  .

    At this moment, Zu Zeyuan has brought the Han army with a white flag to help, and is currently stationed in Jining City.

    Whether it was Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu, or Zu Zeyuan, they didn't care about Fei Ruhe's siege.  Because there is a large army stationed in the city, and Jining is high and deep, as long as the spies in the city are strictly guarded, Fei Ruhe will not be able to break the city after a year of attack.

    The Jining city wall is 13 meters high, the wall base is 14 meters thick, and the wall top is 7 meters thick.

    Even if you dig a tunnel and use gunpowder to blow it up, it’s not enough to blow it up with a few hundred catties of gunpowder!

    Hong Chengchou sat on the tower and read a book. The people outside the city were still filling the moat.  Zuo Liangyu was simply basking in the sun, thinking about the situation of the war in his mind, he always felt terrified these days.

    "Cannon!"

    Suddenly, a guard soldier exclaimed.

    The noise was getting louder and louder, Hong Chengchou finally couldn't sit still, got up and went to see what happened.

    I saw a tripod set up with logs on the shore, and there are only a few tripods like this.  The specific details are not clear, there seems to be a pulley (pulley) device, and there are a lot of ropes. The enemy soldiers are pulling the pulley block, and something is pulled from the boat.

    Hong Chengchou snatched the binoculars from the observation soldier's hand, but saw that a gun barrel was hoisted by a block of pulleys.  It is slightly slender than the common Hongyi cannon, but the barrel is really thick.

    Zu Zeyuan also ran over, snatched the binoculars from Hong Chengchou, and said dryly, "This time it's troublesome!"

    Another artillery officer who mastered mathematics came to the designated artillery position and took out a measuring instrument to measure angles and distances.

    The Ming Dynasty had the technology of artillery distance measurement. There are hundreds of scales on the pole of the watch, and the Pythagorean oblique string is used to measure and calculate.  Sun Yuanhua also wrote "Western Magic Machine", which introduced European artillery ranging technology.

    Three siege cannons and a sports car with wheels.

    The civilian husbands pushed the sports car hard to the side of the artillery officer.  This kind of sports car is also specially made, made of copper, iron, and hardwood. The recoil force of the siege cannon is completely cushioned by the wheels and the ground.

    After repeated calculations, the Datong Army began to test artillery.

    Hong Chengchou, Zuo Liangyu, Zu Zeyuan and others ran down the tower to escape without waiting for the shells to be loaded outside the city.

    According to the weight unit hundreds of years later, a cannonball weighs more than 57 catties, and it takes a lot of effort to stuff the cannonball into the barrel!

    In addition to the three heavy siege artillery, twenty-five field artillery were also aimed at the same section of the city wall.

    The wonderful scene is coming.

    Three heavy siege artillery pieces and twenty-five field artillery pieces fired at the same section of the city wall one after another.  Every time a door is fired, the data will be recorded, and then the angle adjustment will be made.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Most of the shells were too far or too close, and only three hit the target, one of which hit the parapet at the top.

    No one could suppress it, and no one suppressed it. Anyway, all the guards on that section of the city wall ran away.

    Every time the heavy siege artillery was fired, it would be pushed back to its original position. There were ten soldiers pushing the artillery cart alone.

    "Boom!"

    Finally, a heavy artillery hit, and the 47 Ming Jin (57 Shi Jin) iron bullet slammed on the city wall.  The bricks of the outer city wall were smashed into pieces, but the rammed earth city wall inside could absorb the kinetic energy of the shells.

    The city wall of Jining is too thick!

    In the city, only Zu Zeyuan's Eight Banners of the Han Army surrendered, and the rest were all Han surrendered troops, including Shandong surrendered troops and frontier troops surrendered.

    Some Shandong generals have already made up their minds to escape. Whenever the city wall collapses, they will flee at any time. Anyway, it is impossible to work for the Qing Dynasty.

    At least, before the Manchus did not win the battle.?Order to replace the flag of Datong.

    However, the occupation is unknown, and Zhang Yingxiang dare not turn against him easily. What if the Manchu Qing army wins?

    Don't wait for it to get dark, anyway, his family is not in the city, and his property is not in the city either.  Before more than 100,000 rebels besieged the city, Zhang Yingxiang led his troops to abandon the city and fled, circled north and rushed to Jining to join Zuo Liangyu.

    The Datong Army Navy has occupied the canal near Jining!

    "Why are you here?" Zuo Liangyu asked.

    Zhang Yingxiang replied: "More than 200,000 rebellious troops attacked Jiaxiang, and the humble post really couldn't be defended."

    Zuo Liangyu became more and more worried, and the development of the situation was very different from what he imagined.

    This is no longer a war between the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Datong Army, but the entire Shandong people who rose up to fight against the Qing Dynasty.

    Historically, the Manchu Qing occupied Shandong for ten years before completely eliminating the rebels in Shandong.

    Now the Datong Army is making rumors carefully, colluding and inciting everywhere, and with the Datong Army as its confidence, the Shandong Rebel Army is several times more than in history.

    The vast ocean of the people's war!

    "Boom!"

    The crack in the city wall became bigger, and Hong Chengchou's face became more and more gloomy.

    The Datong navy occupied the canal, and the Jining defenders couldn't leave if they wanted to.

    It is also possible to withdraw the troops, but they cannot take away the supplies and food.  Because the more troops are withdrawn by land, the more civilians are needed.

    Once there are more civilians, plus a group of demoralized soldiers and generals, I am afraid that the Datong army will not be able to catch up for a few miles, and Hong Chengchou's side will change from withdrawing to rout.

    "Boom!"

    Another heavy artillery hit, and Hong Chengchou was terrified when he saw it.

    A messenger ran from the east, and after entering the city, he said in horror: "Sishui County is gone, and the enemy is besieging Qufu County!"

    Zu Zeyuan was terrified: "Where is the army of His Highness the Ten Kings?"

    "The ten kings were defeated and killed!" said the messenger.

    Hong Chengchou and Zu Zeyuan looked at each other and looked at Zuo Liangyu at the same time.

    Zuo Liangyu was far away, he wanted to know the military situation, but Hong Chengchou wouldn't let him listen.

    On Jining's side, the general has already left his heart.

    Zu Zeyuan recruited his own soldiers, surrounded Zuo Liangyu and said: "The ten kings have been defeated, and Jining can't stay here for long. Tonight, take the elite and withdraw to Dongping."

    Zuo Liangyu lowered his head and said, "Okay!"

    Zuo Liangyu was held hostage, and if he said no, he would be hacked to death by Zu Zeyuan.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 415 [Life Prisoner Hong Chengchou]

    It is impossible to hide the news of Qufu being besieged, because more than one person came to report the news.

    The morale of the army in the city was shaken, and the generals from Shandong clamored to see Zuo Liangyu.

    Accompanied by the sound of artillery, Hong Chengchou was disheartened.  He wanted to offer the city to surrender, but he was afraid that surrendering would not end well. After all, his official position in the Qing Dynasty was too high, and he was already a well-known traitor.

    Fan Wencheng, Ning Wanwo, and Hong Chengchou have been listed as the three major Han officials of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties!

    Hong Chengchou had a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, a sense of powerlessness as a civil servant.

    When he was in Ming Dynasty, generals would not listen to him.  During the Qing Dynasty, generals also did not follow his advice.

    This Duoduo is too underestimating the enemy!

    Duduo underestimated the enemy from the beginning. Hearing that Huang Fei was attacking Qingzhou Prefecture, he divided his troops and asked Azig to fight Huang Fei.  The strategic goal assigned to Azig was to take down the Second Mansion of Denglai, take advantage of the situation to capture Yishui and Yizhou, and then fight all the way to Jiangsu.

    Historically, Manchu Qing played a similar style of play.

    The same is true for chasing and beating Li Zicheng, and it is also the same for going south to attack Remnant Ming.  Thousands of Eight Banners soldiers, with a group of surrendered soldiers and generals, dared to conquer half of the province, and even took charge of conquering a province.  And it was done for them. It was not until Dorgon issued an order to shave his hair that he suddenly encountered fierce resistance everywhere.

    In this time and space, chasing Li Zicheng also worked, quickly occupying Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan.

    It seems that this style of play can be replicated, and Duoduo still wants to play in Shandong!

    When it was impossible to break through Fei Ruhe who was stationed in Nanyang Town, Hong Chengchou knew that he should make adjustments.  He also gave safe suggestions, but Duoduo just didn't listen. Since the occupation of Beijing, he gave the Manchu nobles the illusion that they could take over the world.

    The throne of the Forbidden City in Beijing seems to be a curse.

    After Li Zicheng sat on it, his mentality changed rapidly.  After Man Qing sat on it, his mentality changed rapidly.  It seems that with that throne, everyone in the world should be obedient, and all forces should lose their will to resist.

    What can Hong Chengchou do?

    A civil official without military power is just guarding the city.

    "Kill the Tartars!"

    The city wall near the Grand Canal will finally surrender again.  That was a surrendered general who didn't get any benefits. He didn't give him a title in the Qing Dynasty, but only gave a bunch of empty promises, and even the rewarded land had to be occupied by himself.

    When Hong Chengchou heard the commotion, he immediately got on his horse and fled towards the north gate of the city.

    "Kill the Tartars!"

    Another section of the city wall shouted.

    However, the defecting troops just yelled, and did not attack the Eight Banners of the Han Army, nor did they attack the border generals who followed Duoduo southward.

    Hong Chengchou, Zu Zeyuan, Bai Guangen and others quickly fled from the north gate with their troops.  Those Shandong generals did not stop them after they defected, but went to open the gates of the city, hoping to be the first to obtain the merit of dedicating the city.

    How easy it is to open the gate of the city, and you have to work hard to lead troops to stop the Eight Banners of the Han army.

    The Shandong warlords have entrenched here for too long, and have never fought a tough battle, and they have long enjoyed themselves.  They also knew what was going on with their soldiers. They didn't pay their soldiers, they didn't have enough rations, and they didn't train during the plague. No matter which side they fought, they were looking for death.

    Thousands of soldiers from the Eight Banners of the Han Army and the frontier troops fled from the north gate in a hurry.

    If you don't leave, you will definitely be besieged and killed in the city by the Datong army.

    "The Tartars are out of town!"

    A few miles north of the city, Wang Tingchen rode forward.

    Together with Cao Bianjiao, he led the cavalry southward, and was first appointed as a general of a hundred men.  With the expansion of the army, Wang Tingchen and Cao Bianjiao are now the lieutenant generals of the cavalry of each division, and the chief general is the old team of the Datong Army who is skilled in riding.

    The cavalry leader of this division is Yan Jiu, who specially asked a scholar to rename him, and he called it "Yan Daoheng" in a polite way.

    Many generals have changed their names, and Huang Yao was changed to Huang Changzuo, which means "prosperous Datong Guozuo".  Zhang Tieniu was changed to Zhang Mingshan, which means "Mingshan Zhidao".

    Liu Zhu changed his name to Liu Dingjue, Huang Shun changed his name to Huang Shunqing, Jiang Liang changed his name to Jiang Daoxing, Jiang Dashan changed his name to Jiang Guoyan

    Once the name is changed, he instantly becomes taller.

    Yan Jiu is almost fifty years old, and he followed Fei Yinggong as a ranger in his early years.

    The fighting is fierce, but the habit of recklessness is too strong.  Don't make big mistakes and keep making small mistakes. Otherwise, with his seniority and military exploits, he wouldn't be able to lead 2,500 troops after the expansion.  After all, before the incident, this guy had already robbed Zhao Han of money.

    "Go up and stop it!"

    The dragoons were divided into three groups, spread out and shot at the enemy from a distance, and sent several cavalry to report the situation to Fei Ruhe.

    The gate of Jining city has been opened wide,p; He really couldn't surrender, a bunch of people from his ancestral family served as officials and soldiers in the Qing Dynasty.  Moreover, from his official position to the Deputy Commander of the Eight Banners of the Han Army in Xiangbai Banner, he could rank among the top fifteen Han generals in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in terms of rank only.

    Surrender is not good, it is better to die heroically, let Dorgon remember him, and earn a share of shade for his son.

    Hong Chengchou rode a horse and stood in the center of the battlefield. He looked up at the rising moon, as if he was in a dream.  Recalling the experiences of these years, life is really like a dream, how did it come to the current situation?

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Zu Zeyuan, who was charging, fell down after being shot.  But he didn't die. He wanted to stand up, but he didn't have the strength, so he could only draw the knife across his neck, cut his throat and committed suicide.

    After the three-stage strike of the firecracker, the Wu Zhenchao with the inlaid white flags died, and less than a thousand people remained.  Some turned and fled, some knelt down and surrendered, but no one dared to continue to charge.

    "Kill the Tartars!"

    Zhang Yingxiang led the soldiers and generals, and became brave again.  This guy took the lead and mowed the grass all the way with the rout soldiers. There were more than 20 Han soldiers with the white banner beheaded by him.

    Hong Chengchou did not escape, he is a civil servant, even if he loses, he has to maintain his demeanor.

    He still did not surrender, nor did he commit suicide, but stayed where he was and waited for the Datong Army to capture him.

    "Old thief, where are you running to!"

    A general rushed over on horseback and pressed Hong Chengchou to the ground.

    Hong Chengchou's face was pressed against the ground, his face was covered with dust, and he ate some dirt in his mouth, and finally completely lost his civil servant demeanor.

    In the direction of Qufu, Kong's family please surrender.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 416【The Kong family prepared with many hands】

    In the first battle that day, the Datong Army killed 1962 people, seriously injured 383 people, and slightly injured 935 people.

    The casualty rate is 32.8%!

    The peasants and soldiers stationed in Fei County were supplemented and reorganized nearby.

    Newly recruited soldiers are temporarily entitled to regular army treatment, but must obtain the approval of the Ministry of War to be eligible for military membership.

    The military status under Zhao Han's rule is different from that of Daming.

    It must be uniformly compiled in the Ministry of War, but it must also be displayed in the Yellow Book of Civil Registration.  For soldiers in active service, the word "in the army" will be specially marked on the household registration book at home, and the mark will be canceled and stamped after retiring from the army.

    General Li Guoying, who witnessed the whole reorganization process, was beyond surprised.

    With a casualty rate close to one-third, this army should have been disabled.  As a result, it was fully staffed again in a few days. With this speed of troop supply, as long as the troop number is still there, the Manchu court can be killed by exchanging lives!

    Li Guoying was very fortunate, he did the right thing this time, and chose to turn against him at a critical moment.

    In fact, it can be replenished so quickly, mainly because the main casualties are melee soldiers.  Peasants and soldiers have practiced for a long time in the military formation, and temporarily enlisted in the army for reorganization. Being a melee soldier will not affect their combat effectiveness much.

    The firecrackers are not good, and additional training is required.

    Not to practice aiming and shooting, but to practice loading ammunition.  Today, the firecrackers of the Datong Army have been shortened to a bullet every 50 seconds.

    What surprised Li Guoying was not limited to this, the Datong army had a large number of military doctors.

    These military doctors are male and female.  Many injuries that seemed to be amputated were repeatedly washed with distilled spirits, and then applied with golden sore medicine, it was said that the limbs could still be preserved.

    When the news came that the Surabaya guard had killed Geng Jimao and defected to the Datong Army, Zhang Tieniu immediately set off with the newly reorganized troops.

    The military doctors and the wounded will stay in Fei County for the time being.

    After arriving in Surabaya, Zhang Tieniu took a short rest and headed to Qufu with his troops and surrendered generals.  As for the large number of captives, they were thrown to the civilian officials who followed behind.

    As long as you are not a person full of evil, you will generally be punished lightly.  You can still divide the land and settle down, but in the slack season, you have to be punished as a servant to help the government maintain and repair roads and so on.  And I can't hold public office, the next generation is allowed to take the civil service examination.

    There is a shortage of people in the north, so we can't kill too much!

    Qufu, Confucius Mansion.

    Kong Xingxie ran fast, tripped over the threshold, and crawled into the garden.

    Kong Yinzhi, Gong Yansheng, is very old and sick in recent years.  It was rare to meet the fine weather, neither cold nor hot, cloudy at the end of spring, so I lay down and took a nap under the trees in the garden.

    There was a thin blanket on her body, and a maid was beating her legs.

    "Father, no hoo it's not good!" Kong Xingxie panted.

    Kong Yinzhi opened his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?"

    Kong Xingxie said: "The Qing Dynasty the Tartars lost! I just received the news that Xu Ensheng, the guard of Sishui County, changed his flag a few days ago. Now the Heavenly Soldiers of Datong have arrived at the border of Qufu County!"

    "Don't panic, don't panic," Kong Yinzhi asked the maid to help him stand up, "I have already written the letter for my father. You gather the wise old men from the clan, and when the heavenly soldiers of Datong come, they will go to meet them together. Also, how many  Prepare some drinks and food, Datong Heavenly Soldiers have worked hard all the way, and the Kong family should do their best to extend their condolences to the army as a landlord."

    Kong Yinzhi, really don't panic.

    Historically, in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, the emperor was already devastated by the current situation.  And what is Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi doing?  Ask the court to grant the eldest son a second-rank official uniform.

    The Ming court, which was about to collapse, immediately gave official uniforms and sent them to the Kong family amidst the flames of war.

    ?Only two months later, Kong Yinzhi received the news that Li Zicheng had breached Beijing, and immediately enshrined the Dragon Throne of Yongchang Emperor of Dashun Kingdom in Yanshenggong Mansion, and offered horses in silver, kneeling to welcome the seal of Dashun bestowed by Li Zicheng.

    Soon, the Qing army entered the pass, and Li Zicheng fled in defeat.

    When Kong Yinzhi heard the news, he quickly wrote the "First Entry Form", saying that Emperor Shunzhi "the holy emperor, the mountains and rivers, the sun and the moon, and the country are the same as the universe and eternal".

    Within one year, the Kong family was rewarded by three emperors!

    The Kong family in this time and space is not much better. Although Zuo Liangyu blocked him, after Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately offered up Li Zicheng's position as a dragon.

    Immediately, the Manchus entered the customs, and Zhao Han proclaimed himself emperor.

    Kong Yinzhi was not sure, so he simply wrote two petitions at the same time, and removed Li Zicheng from the dragon position.  Anyway, whoever calls Qufu first will have his form published. It's nothing more than kneeling a few more times.

    Another day later, nearly a hundred members of the head of the Kong family, leading a team of thousands of people, marched to welcome Zhang Tieniu.

    ?Soldiers are expensive, but Zhang Tieniu ignored themForcing the Confucian family to hand over the food, Kong Yinzhi praised sincerely: "It's no wonder Master Wang is invincible, and he has not disturbed the people all the way. He is really a righteous teacher!"

    Zhang Tieniu waved and said, "Go, go, I still have military affairs here."

    Seeing that Zhang Tieniu did not seem to be a fake, Kong Yinzhi left quickly.

    After leaving the barracks, Kong Yinzhi said to his son: "The Datong army has strict military discipline, and Emperor Zhao in Nanjing will surely win the world. If the Tartars come again, the Kong family will go south to avoid disaster."

    "Father's advice." Kong Xingxie hurriedly responded.

    The more Kong Yinzhi thought about it, the happier he became. Based on his thinking logic, Zhang Tieniu took his grain and helped him pass on Kong's congratulatory form to the emperor.

    In fact, this is all a misunderstanding.

    Those grains are considered to be borrowed, which are emergency measures in wartime, and must be signed by the commander, mission officer, military judge, and quartermaster.  When the war is over, the food will be returned, and credit will be given to those who borrowed it.

    And how to deal with the Kong family, or how to deal with the people, the army cannot intervene.

    Zhang Tieniu has no right to handle civil affairs. This is completely two systems.  Unless there is an emergency, the army can temporarily take over the place. For example, Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu helped the people in Yizhou and other places last year.

    The trial of the Kong family in Qufu will have to wait for the local magistrate and judicial officer to come.

    (Tomorrow three more, today is gone.)

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 417【Battlefield in Henan】

    Henan battlefield.

    Due to the fierce offensive of the divisions of the Datong Army after the beginning of spring, Dorgon did not dare to underestimate the enemy like Duoduo.

    He adopted the usual tactics of the Manchu Qing: let you come a few ways, and I will go all the way!

    Dorgon took the initiative to shrink the line of defense, letting troops and generals guard important cities.  He personally led more than 60,000 Eight Banners Army and more than 30,000 surrendered soldiers and generals, intending to defeat the Datong Army one by one.

    Nurhachi likes to fight like this, and Huang Taiji likes to fight like this.

    At that time, the Ming Dynasty often sent 100,000 to 200,000 troops, while the Manchu Qing had only tens of thousands of troops.  Therefore, the Manchu Qing gathered heavy troops and rushed to intersperse them quickly, taking advantage of the loopholes in the difficulty of coordination and cooperation among the various ministries of the Ming Dynasty, and took advantage of the loopholes to annihilate one of them with superior forces.

    Generally speaking, as long as the Ming army is wiped out, the rest of the army will fall into panic, or some generals will lead the troops to flee.

    If annihilating one route has no effect, then annihilate two or three routes!

    And this time when the Datong army attacked Henan, they were divided into six groups. How could Dorgon not use the old routine?

    ? Zhao Han handed over the command of Shandong to Fei Ruhe, and his own imperial driver moved to Bozhou to establish the general headquarters.

    At this moment, Li Zheng's third division has broken through Yucheng, and Xiao Zongxian's fourth division has broken through Luyi.  Zhao Han's territory, Bozhou and Suzhou, was prepared for "emptiness" and deliberately attracted the enemy troops from Guide Mansion to attack. Once they came, the third and fourth divisions could return to the army to make dumplings.

    It's a pity that the Qing army in Guide Mansion was so cowardly that they even sat back and watched Yucheng and Luyi fall, and just nestled in Guide Mansion and defended to the death.

    This is earnestly implementing Dorgon's strategic plan. Don't go out to fight if you drop troops or generals, and you don't need to use secondary county towns, just keep the strategic cities well.  Hold on all the time, waiting for Dorgon to defeat each other in other places.

    Where is Dorgon's main force?

    Zhao Han doesn't know for the time being, anyway, he is definitely not on Guide Mansion's side.

    If the plan to lure the enemy fails, then take the initiative to attack!

    The remaining peasant soldiers garrisoned Yucheng and Luyi, the third division attacked Xiayi in the south, and the fourth division attacked Zhecheng in the north.  It was also won in one fell swoop. The Qing army seemed to really not want these county towns, but to defend Guidefu City wholeheartedly.  Even in Yongcheng County, Zhao Han sent more than a thousand farmers and soldiers to take it down.

    The city of Guidefu is Shangqiu.

    Zhao Han's headquarters, the third division, and the fourth division joined forces outside Shangqiu City, planning to storm the city.  Shangqiu is a nail. If it is not pulled out, the Eastern Army in the Henan battlefield will be pinned down here and unable to move.

    The accompanying female officer reported: "Your Majesty, Hou Fangyu brought his uncle to see him."

    "Bring them in."

    Zhao Han is researching the whereabouts of Dorgon's main force. Although scouts are spread widely and the Datong Army is hidden in Henan, there is too much messy information, and it is difficult to find Dorgon in a while.

    As the commander-in-chief of the Henan battlefield, Zhao Han could only issue a military order: Jiang Liang's fifth division should abandon the captured Shenqiu and Xiangcheng, and withdraw to Yingzhou to guard against the possible appearance of Dorgon.  Jiang Dashan's Sixth Division is stationed in Yancheng. Don't rush in, and continue to detect Dorgon's movements.

    Since Dorgon wants to gather an army to break through all the way, then Zhao Han will safely defend the city, and the lord will return to the direction of the German Mansion.

    The big deal is to make steady progress, and just by consuming food and grass, Dorgon can be dragged to death!

    Hou Fangyu came in with his fifth uncle Hou Li and bowed to him.

    Zhao Han asked: "How are the villages in Guide Mansion?"

    Hou Li replied: "Your Majesty, at the beginning of the war this year, the Puppet Qing Dynasty plundered the villages in Guide Mansion. Regardless of the gentry and the common people, every household must provide grain and husbands. If they fail to hand over the food, they will kill people. The Puppet Qing forced the peasants to recruit  The grain was transported to Shangqiu, and after the grain was transported to the city, the peasants and gentry were expelled. Only the army remained in the city, and even many people in the prefecture city were expelled. The money and grain of my Hou family have been robbed by those tartars, and there is not much left!  "

    Mao Yuanyi said: "Your Majesty, the puppet Qing did this because they were determined to store food and defend the city."

    Zhao Han was disgusted by the Qing Dynasty. The entire Guide Mansion was full of people who had been robbed of food.  Before the arrival of the Datong Army, countless local people had starved to death, and a large number of hungry people were waiting for Zhao Han to allocate food for relief.

    However, there is no need to worry about the lack of husbands and wives. Recruiting hungry people to transport luggage is also a way of relief.

    The moat outside Shangqiu City is also filled by the hungry people, and a few pancakes are distributed every day.  Zhao Han couldn't get more food, and he still had to stockpile military rations to consume with Man Qing.

    Everyone was discussing the military situation, and someone came to report: "Your Majesty, tens of thousands of rebels have come from outside the camp, saying that they will follow the Datong army to kill the Tartars!"

    Zhao Han was relieved and felt a headache at the same time.

    Congratulations are due to the availability of people's hearts, and headaches are due to the consumption of military rations.  These rebels can actually see?The enemy's artillery has been bombarding the city. I am afraid that the army's morale will be shaken before the city wall collapses.  "

    All the generals looked at each other, and someone suggested: "The flower horse Liu Hanyong, you can attack the camp."

    Liu Liangzuo stood up suddenly: "Why should I go?"

    Historically, Liu Liangzuo was Gao Jie's general during the small court in Nanjing, and later led 100,000 troops to surrender to the Qing Dynasty.  On the 81st day of Jiangyin, Liu Liangzuo was also besieging the city, and he was the executioner who killed Yan Yingyuan and others.

    This guy has not been cast under Gao Jie's command so far, it belongs to Mou Wenshou's generals, guarding Fengyang together with Zhao Zhilong and other generals.

    A few years ago, when the Datong Army sent troops to northern Anhui, Zhao Zhilong and Liu Liangzuo joined forces to trap and kill the general Mou Wenshou, and then fled to Henan with the troops to seize the territory.

    As for Liu Liangzuo's younger brother, Liu Liangchen, he had already surrendered to the Qing Dynasty during the Battle of Dalinghe.

    "I also think General Liu is suitable."

    "Yes, General Liu, nicknamed Hua Ma Liu, is proficient in riding and fighting, and he must be capable of robbing camps."

    ""

    ?One person proposed, everyone agreed, and Liu Liangzuo was always elected as the chief general of the night attack.

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 418 [The Manchus want a decisive battle]

    Liu Liangzuo went out of the city in fear, and led his troops only three miles before he was spotted by sentry cavalry crouching in the dark.

    "Call!"

    The sharp brass whistle sounded in the night, and the nearby dragoons rushed up, and then blew their horns to call for more friendly troops.

    Lu Xiangsheng's cavalrymen are also on standby near the camp, feeding the horses with night food.  Hearing the sound of the horn, he immediately got on his horse and jogged towards the direction of the sound of the horn.

    Liu Liangzuo originally wanted to flee back to the city, but he was worried that the city wall would be bombarded by artillery. It would be better to surrender now than to surrender at that time.

    However, the "Warriors" of the Thousand Night Raiders were selected from various ministries.  It is difficult for these "warriors" to obey the abnormal military orders issued temporarily, or they cannot react at all.

    Liu Liangzuo was about to surrender, but before he gave an order, the soldiers under his command started to flee - they came to rob the camp, since they were discovered by the enemy, they naturally ran away subconsciously.

    More than two hundred dragoons wanted to fire their guns, but when they saw the enemy fleeing, they immediately rode their horses to intercept and kill them.

    After fighting for a while, Lu Xiangsheng led the Xiao cavalry to kill, and the battle situation was settled in an instant, and the Qing soldiers began to disperse and flee.

    These guys, five hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry, all carried firelighters.  The hooves of the horses were wrapped in cotton cloth, and the horses' mouths were covered with cages to avoid making noise during the march.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Liu Liangzuo fled without even having a chance to surrender.

    He was chased outside the city by several dragoons, and when he saw the city gate open, he rushed in immediately.

    The Datong dragoons did not dare to follow, because there was an urn inside, even if Lu Xiangsheng led thousands of cavalry to enter, they would be locked in the urn and shot from all sides.

    A thousand soldiers were scrapped, only Liu Liangzuo fled back alone, and a few cavalry slipped away, not knowing which direction they fled.

    The guards in the city were speechless and thought that they could only continue to guard the city of sorrow.

    the next day.

    Bombardment, Bombardment, Bombardment!

    The gap in the city wall is getting bigger and bigger, and it is only a matter of time before it collapses

    Dorgon was in Fugou County. When he learned that Xiangcheng and Shenqiu had fallen, he immediately decided to use his plan.

    In Shangshui, Chenzhou, and Xihua counties, Dorgon only left a small number of troops.  It is nothing more than attracting Jiang Liang's fifth division to capture, not only can lengthen the fifth division's supply line, but also allow the fifth division to divide its forces to defend the city.

    At that time, send cavalry to cut off the food road, and then the army will besiege and annihilate them!

    The idea was quite good, but as a result, Zhao Han passed an army order, not only did the Fifth Division not continue to attack, but even spit out Xiangcheng and Shenqiu that had already been occupied.  They even retreated for two hundred miles, directly to Yingzhou (Fuyang), and even lost Taihe County, which had been divided into households and land for more than a year.

    Just one word: Steady!

    The Sixth Division of Jiang Dashan is similar, defending Yancheng without moving.  With the strength and food of the Sixth Division, it will be no problem to guard for half a year.  If Dorgon is awesome, he will lead his troops around Yancheng and go to the hinterland of the Datong Army to rob everywhere.

    Zhao Han's here is not the court of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was ravaged by the Manchu Qing in the Gyeonggi area, and even the actual strength of the Manchu Qing was not clear.

    As long as Dorgon dares to come, Zhao Han will lose population and food at most, and he can definitely mobilize the army to close the door and beat the dogs.

    Just when Dorgon was hesitating and didn't know whether to pursue him or not, the messenger sent military information: "His Royal Highness, the main force of the enemy army is besieging Shangqiu, with fifty or sixty cannons. There are also three giant cannons, there may be seven or eight  One thousand catties!"

    "How strong is the enemy army?" Dorgon asked.

    The messenger handed over the military information: "There are countless, my master is asking for reinforcements."

    Countless, really countless.

    Outside Shangqiu City, although there are only Zhao Han's pro-army and two divisions, there are only more than 20,000 regular troops.  But there are many peasants, soldiers and peasants, as well as a large number of hungry people and rebels, and the camp stretches for more than ten miles.

    How does this make the defenders in the city count?

    Dorgon opened the letter and read it repeatedly, but he couldn't find a description of the enemy's strength. The letter only said that the enemy camp stretched more than ten miles.

    Zhao Han camped for more than ten miles, because Zhao Han was afraid of being affected by the hungry people, so he threw the hungry people far away.  Moreover, when a plague was found among the hungry people, Zhao Han ordered not to gather in large numbers.

    After thinking about it, it was difficult for Dorgon to make a decision, so he recruited his generals to discuss the matter.

    Man Dahai, the grandson of Nurhaci, the Duke of the Manchu Dynasty, and the owner of the banner with the red flag, said: "This place is no better than Liaodong, and the puppet is not the same as Ming Dynasty. It is difficult to get news back from the spies we send out, and it is not easy to buy spies. In this way  The situation of the enemy army is unknown, how can we let him come a few ways, and I just go all the way? Those southern barbarians, it is easy to call, but it is difficult to get news when they go back!"

    "Yeah, let's just say that in Yingzhou City, even beggars can't be found!" It was Nurha who spoke.Ergun saw that everyone agreed with this proposal, and he himself felt that he could fight, so he said: "Then go to Shangqiu for a decisive battle!"

    When Dorgon led the army to Shangqiu, he also ordered Wu Sangui and other generals to gather cavalry to plunder Suiping, Shangcai, Taihe and other counties.  In this way, the Datong army in the middle of Henan can be restrained, so that these Datong army cannot go to reinforce the Shangqiu battlefield.

    After Wu Sangui received the military order, he took the remaining Guanning iron cavalry, Ma Ke and others to surrender to the border generals, and the whole cavalry team went south to plunder.

    After crossing the Lishui, Wu Sangui said to the surrendered generals: "A team of three hundred cavalry should only kill and set fire. Don't grab too much property, otherwise the enemy will not be able to chase you fast. Each person should grab at most ten catties of grain and bring them with you.  Those who don’t leave will be burned!”

    All the surrendered generals couldn't bear it.

    It's not that they can't bear to burn, kill and loot, but they can't bear to burn food. All of them, these miscellaneous troops, are short of food.

    Wu Sangui also said: "All the houses along the way will be burned down. Don't chase after the enemy. After five days, cross the river and go back. Don't be chased by those cavalry with guns."

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 419 [Slightly prepare a small gift] (addition for the penguin boss)

    The two brothers Jiang Yu and Jiang Xuan used to be the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of Daming respectively.

    In previous battles, they had very few soldiers left.  When Li Zicheng reached Datong, Jiang Guan immediately surrendered, even if he surrendered, he was almost killed by Li Zicheng.

    Li Zicheng forcibly disbanded Jiang Guan's troops, and sent his confidants to garrison Datong City.

    Before the Man Qing came to kill him, Jiang Tuan had already betrayed Li Zicheng in essence, and just took advantage of the situation to take refuge with the Man Qing.

    After that, the old servants were recruited again, and the cavalry of the two brothers added up to only more than 300 cavalry.

    Brothers Jiang Yu and Jiang Xuan crossed the river and went down the river. Their more than 300 riders were organized into a cavalry team and were responsible for plundering the area from Mengjiazhuang to Xincai.

    "Brother, something is wrong!"

    After running for several miles, Jiang Xuan chased after Jiang Tuan: "The weeds in the wheat field have almost grown to the depth of the wheat seedlings, and no farmer has taken care of them for at least half a month. Besides, the houses are all empty during this journey.  The people have no idea where to hide."

    "It's normal to avoid disasters," Jiang Guan said.

    Jiang Xuan asked, "Should those empty houses be burned?"

    Jiang Yu didn't answer, but asked, "Do you think the Tartars can win?"

    Jiang Xuan was terrified, and lowered his voice and said: "Brother, don't talk nonsense, the Qing Dynasty is the Qing Dynasty, where did the Tartars come from?"

    "I can't take it any longer," Jiang Yu gritted his teeth, "You and I were both born in Datong and grew up in Datong. After the Tartars took over Datong, did they burn, kill and loot? The people in Shanxi have been suffering from drought for many years, so there is nothing wrong with them."  Food, this ration was also taken away by the Tartars!"

    Jiang Xuan stopped pretending, and said calmly: "Brother, don't you want your family?"

    "When a man is alive, he doesn't care about so many things." Jiang Yu said.

    Jiang Xuan let out a breath of foul air: "Then I will make a fuss with my brother, and we will join the Datong Army. Our Jiang family lives in Datong, Shanxi, and the country name in the south is Datong. Doesn't it coincide with God's will?"

    The ghost's coincidence with God's will is just for profit.

    ? They wanted to rebel against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and there was indeed an element of disgust and an element of national righteousness.  But what really made them make a decision was being robbed of military power by another traitor!

    That traitor was named Wu Weihua, and his elder brother was Uncle Daming Gongshun.

    As soon as I heard this title, I knew it must be a foreign race, and the ancestors of the Wu family were Mongolians who surrendered to Ming Dynasty.

    Wu Weihua's elder brother was tortured to death by Li Zicheng. After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, he immediately went out of the city and knelt down to greet him.  He took the initiative to invite Ying, ran to Shanxi and Shaanxi to surrender, and then presented his daughter to Azig.

    Recently, she even made up her mind to marry her niece to Chang Nai as a concubine.

    Chang Nai is Gang Lin's younger brother, and Gang Lin is Dorgon's confidant.

    Wu Weihua's operation was quickly made a Marquis by the Qing Dynasty.  During their garrison in Shanxi, they snatched away the troops of the Jiang brothers. Jiang Guan and Jiang Xuan now only have more than 300 family members in their hands.

    What's more, Wu Weihua also robbed the Jiang family's property, which was the military land occupied by Jiang's ancestors!

    Shanxi is deserted and uninhabited everywhere, why do we still have to grab fields?

    Because the fields of the Jiang family are all good fields, and there are canals for irrigation.

    Surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the mess was worse than in Daming, didn't this traitor do it for nothing?

    Anti-fucking!

    "Brother, there is cooking smoke over there!" Jiang Xuan shouted.

    The two brothers galloped past with their cavalry, but it was the mansion of a big family before the field was divided.

    The original owner committed many crimes and was suppressed by the peasant association. The mansion was used as the village's office space and also served as the village's school.

    There are trenches dug around the perimeter of the mansion, and there are still guards on the perimeter.

    "The Master said: A gentleman is in the world, there is nothing suitable, there is nothing, and righteousness is compared"

    The sound of reading aloud came from inside the courtyard wall, and more and more people were on the wall.

    Some of these people held wooden spears and bamboo spears, some held hoes and shoulder poles, and glared at the cavalry brought by the Jiang brothers without fear.

    "The Master said: Is it possible to make a country with courtesy? What is there? Can't be a country with courtesy, how about courtesy? The Master said: Don't worry about having no position, worry about standing. If you don't worry about not knowing yourself, ask for what you can know"

    Jiang Guan listened attentively to the sound of reading, and suddenly laughed: "It's been two months since I came here from Shanxi, and this is the first time I heard children reading." He turned his head and asked his younger brother, "Do you have the heart to set fire to this house?"

    "Let's go." Jiang Xuan sighed.

    Their families are in Shanxi, but each sent a son to Beijing.

    The family may not be extinct, but after betraying the Qing Dynasty, the son in Beijing will definitely be gone.

    Riding his horse and galloping for a while, Jiang Xuan said, "It's just a guest, but you have to bring aWhen it collapsed, he abandoned the city and fled with his family.  He can't escape, he can only defend the city with his little soldiers, and he will never be able to defend the city wall if it collapses.

    Hearing the sound of the rumbling cannon, Jia Hanfu was frightened. He already regretted surrendering to Manqing.

    500 dragoons were sent out to scout the horses, leaving 2,000 dragoons and 400 Ding cavalry from Jiang Yan.  He had been waiting in the north of the city for a long time, and when he saw Jia Hanfu fleeing with his troops, Cao Bianjiao immediately led his cavalry to rush over.

    Jia Han thought about it again, sighed, reined in his horse and gave the order: "Everyone has surrendered, you can't escape."

    A few dragoons went over, tied up Jia Hanfu, and dragged him in front of Cao Bianjiao in disgrace.

    "Brother Jia, I haven't seen you for many years." Cao Bianjiao said with a smile.

    Jia Hanfu had no choice but to say: "The captured people will be killed or cut to pieces, so please do as you please."

    They are all acquaintances, so there is no need to be polite.

    The sixth division and the seventh division took down Linying and continued to advance, going straight to Xihua County where Zu Dashou was stationed.

    There were a lot of enemy troops there. In addition to surrendered soldiers and generals, there were also local bandits in Henan. There were tens of thousands of people in this mess.

    Finding out that the Datong Army had dozens of artillery pieces, Zu Dashou felt that the county could not hold on.  Simply call Wu Sangui back, wait for the Datong army to pass, and then go out of the city to fight.

    If you don't fight, you have to retreat, and retreat to Xuzhou, where the city walls can withstand artillery.

    Otherwise, the morale of the army will plummet if tens of thousands of people live in small towns and are bombarded by artillery for a few days.

 Body 420 [Chasing after chasing]

    Dorgon's order to Zu Dashou was to do everything possible to hold back the Datong Army in the middle battlefield and prevent the Datong Army from rushing to help Shangqiu.

    Therefore, either Xihua County will be stuck, or Fugou County will be stuck.

    Compared with hundreds of years later, the rivers in Henan in the Ming Dynasty changed greatly, mainly caused by the diversion of the Yellow River.  Blocking the two counties of Xihua and Fugou, the sixth and seventh divisions of the Datong Army could not march quickly along the river, but could only walk slowly by land, and had to cross the river several times on the way.

    Zu Dashou could not retreat, at most he could retreat to Fugou, if he retreated to Xuzhou, it would be a violation of the military order.

    A soldier came to report: "Dutong, Yuan Shizhong has led troops to Fugou, but he doesn't want to continue to join the army."

    Although Zu Dashou did not confer any title, he was appointed as the commander of the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army.  In other words, the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army is under his control, and it is one of the highest military positions in the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

    Zu Dashou frowned and said: "This person may turn against him!"

    Wu Sangui said: "He is a native of Henan, and he was enshrined as Marquis of Shunyi by the Qing Dynasty. What else can he turn against? Can Emperor Zhao of Nanjing enshrine him as Marquis?"

    "Well, who can say for sure?" Zu Dashou shook his head and sighed.

    Historically, there have been many stories about Yuan Shizhong.  For example, Li Zicheng married his adopted daughter to him, but Yuan Shizhong abducted Li Zicheng's daughter.  Some historical materials also record that Yuan Shizhong's troops did not kill civilians, but rescued them, and they were called "Buddhist Soldiers".  He even defeated the small group of the Eight Banners Army who entered the customs and plundered, killed 50 Tartars, and refused to accept the goods from the Tartars.

    It is also said that Li Zicheng was afraid of Yuan Shizhong, first squeezed out, then flanked, and finally killed Yuan Shizhong and merged his tribe.

    In fact, it's not that exciting. Yuan Shizhong's troops are indeed in good military discipline.  It once expanded to tens of thousands of people, but suffered successive defeats and was helped by Li Zicheng.  Therefore, Yuan Shizhong obeyed Li Zicheng's orders, but maintained his independence, and used Li Zicheng's prestige to develop his power.

    The imperial court sent people to appease, and Li Zicheng also sent people to appease.

    Yuan Shizhong chose the imperial court and killed Li Zicheng's envoy.  Li Zicheng was furious, and led his troops to kill Yuan Shizhong!

    Before Yuan Shizhong was ordered to guard against the Seventh Division, when the Seventh Division of the Datong Army moved, he was recruited by Zu Dashou to join forces.  As a result, when this guy walked to Fugou County, he suddenly stopped moving, and even recruited refugees as soldiers along the way. By this time, the number of soldiers had expanded to more than 30,000.

    Once Yuan Shizhong chose to defect, it would be tantamount to blocking Zu Dashou's retreat.

    Zu Dashou was frightened and uneasy, so he sent a scholar named Gong Yijie to Fugou County to appease Yuan Shizhong.

    After seeing Yuan Shizhong, Gong Yijie asked, "Why did Lord Hou stop fighting?"

    Yuan Shizhong explained: "The soldiers in the army are often sick and plagued. If they go to Xihua County to join forces with the ancestral capital, the soldiers of the ancestral capital may also be infected with the plague."

    Gong Yijie said: "The enemy's army is about to arrive, and it's time to use troops. A little plague is nothing to worry about. Please lead the troops there immediately."

    "Ah, many of my subordinates are infected with the disease." Yuan Shizhong sighed.

    Gong Yijie tried hard to persuade: "Master Hou, the North-South War is the time to serve the country. Lord Hou stops the army, and he will be held accountable after the war. This is the worst policy. Does Lord Hou think that the puppet soldiers won my victory?"  Qing Eight Banners?"

    "Hey, it's hard to say." Yuan Shizhong suddenly laughed.

    Gong Yijie said in horror: "Why did Lord Hou say such a thing?"

    Yuan Shizhong did not explain, and said with a sneer: "I wanted to continue to wait and see, but you reminded me. Since I must be pursued by the Tartars, why not do the opposite now and prevent Dorgon from coming back alive? Someone is here!"

    "Here!" A few soldiers came in.

    Yuan Shizhong said: "Behead this man and send him to the Datong Army. Say that I have raised troops against the Qing Dynasty, occupied Fugou, and cut off Zu Dashou's retreat!"

    "Think twice, Lord HouThink twice, Lord Hou" Gong Yijie yelled and was dragged out.

    Yuan Shizhong was born in a family of small landlords. He also read books when he was a child. He is strong and strong, and he has practiced some martial arts since he was a child.

    In Henan in the late Ming Dynasty, even small landlords would not be able to survive if they encountered corrupt officials.

    Yuan Shizhong's family first became self-cultivated farmers, and gradually became tenant farmers.  Being constantly pressed by the government, his family starved to death one after another, so he had to flee to Kaizhou as a beggar.

    Historically, this person rose up in rebellion. Due to his good military discipline, the people enthusiastically took refuge in him, and quickly stood out among the many rebels. In his heyday, he had an army of 300,000.

    Yuan Shizhong's thinking mode is biased towards scholars. He does not want to be a traitor, and always wants to recruit security and become a regular.

    After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, Yuan Shizhong always felt uncomfortable.

    ?Because the Manchu Qing exploited the common people very muchThe infantry of the Datong Army marched towards Taikang County in a hurry.

    Cao Bianjiao and Wei Guoxiang, two cavalry generals, each led 2,500 dragoons to drive away Wu Sangui's cavalry.

    Guan Ning's iron cavalry has long been disabled and was once divided into three parts.  Some were transferred to the customs to suppress the Northwest rogues; some were assigned to Zu Dashou; and some were assigned to Wu Sangui.

    All previous battles, constant consumption.

    Although Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui still have cavalry under their command, they are no longer the real Guanning iron cavalry, but more similar to the family cavalry of the Ming border general.

    At this moment, Wu Sangui commanded more than 4,000 cavalry, about 2,000 cavalry are considered elite, and the rest are miscellaneous cards under the command of the generals.

    Facing the five thousand dragoons, Wu Sangui dispersed and harassed, throwing bows and arrows non-stop.

    After shooting a few arrows, he stopped shooting.

    If you are too far away, you will not be able to shoot, and if you are too close, you will be shot.

    Wu Sangui wanted to go around and attack the big synchronous pawns who were stripped of their armor and marching in a hurry.  The dragoons also quickly followed to protect the safety of friendly troops and prevent enemy cavalry from approaching.

    Although Jiang Dashan had a mount, he was running with the soldiers at the moment. He shouted: "Don't worry about those enemy horses, just run forward!"

    More than ten thousand soldiers at the same time really ignored Wu Sangui, as if they couldn't see the enemy cavalry, they trotted forward with their weapons in the direction of Taikang.

    The two armies were tens of miles apart, and the Datong army planned to pursue them on foot.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Body 421 [War in the Wilderness]

    On the plain, it was barren, and there were only weeds in the fields, and there was no sign of wheat seedlings.

    More than 10,000 Datong soldiers were arranged in 14 columns.

    The melee soldiers are outside, and the firecrackers are inside.  Although trotting, the formation is a bit scattered, but it can generally be kept neat.

    All the ancient elites are good runners.

    Whether they can run or not is also the difference between the Datong regular army and the peasant soldiers.  Although farmers and soldiers have to train formation and killing skills, after all, the food is relatively poor, and they seldom train in sports that consume energy such as running.

    The regular army ran once in the morning and evening, and sandbags were tied to their legs.

    At this moment, just jogging without wearing armor is really easy for the Datong soldiers.

    5000 dragoons protected the infantry on both sides, a team of 500 men, entangled with Wu Sangui's cavalry.  Every time the gun is fired, only one-fifth of it is released, so as to ensure that the gun is always loaded and prevent the enemy from rushing to kill in the gap of firepower.

    The more Wu Sangui fought, the more frightened he became. His eyes were wide open today. There were cavalry harassing him, but the infantry dared to march in a hurry.

    Moreover, those firecracker cavalry were also disgusted, and they repeatedly fired their guns in rotation, so that Wu Sangui didn't dare to charge at all.  In other words, the miscellaneous cavalry under his command did not dare to charge, and the improvised cavalry officers did not obey Wu Sangui's command in everything.

    "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

    The copper whistle kept ringing, the infantry stopped and lined up to rest, and at the same time the musketeers began to change the matchlocks.  They have been jogging with burning ropes, and as long as Wu Sangui dares to charge with cavalry, they can quickly line up and shoot a volley.

    Matchlocks are really troublesome, it would be nice if they could all be replaced with flintlock guns.

    In this era, there is a joke in Europe about matchlock guns: carry a matchlock one mile long on your back and fight all day long.

    "The whole army obeys the order, walk slowlygo!"

    ?The flag order was issued in front, and the flag order was waved everywhere in the army. After changing the matchlock, the large synchronous soldiers began to move forward.

    Can't jog all the time, run for a while, walk for a while, you can restore your strength.

    Wu Sangui looked at the scene of the prohibition, and couldn't help feeling: "If I have such an army, I'm afraid I can go all the way south to Qiongzhou. It's no wonder that Emperor Zhao of Nanjing can sit in several provinces."

    "Deputy Marshal, do you still want to harass me?" Jiang Zhu came galloping on horseback.

    Wu Sangui in this time and space has not contributed to Shanhaiguan, nor has he developed so many troops.  Therefore, he was not crowned king, but only served as the deputy capital commander of the Zhenghuang Banner Han Army.

    Wu Sangui shook his head: "I can't attack for the time being, the enemy's orders are forbidding, but our army doesn't obey orders."

    There are more than 4,000 cavalry under his command, and only more than 2,000 are really obedient. Wu Sangui has nothing to do about it.  The Manchurian cavalry and Mongolian cavalry were all taken away by Dorgon, and the rest were all the servant cavalry of the surrendered generals.

    The surrendered generals are willing to lend cavalry and hand it over to Wu Sangui for unified command, which is already a great deal of face.

    When those cavalry officers left, they were told by the surrendered generals: flee if you can't win.  If you can win, but there will be casualties, then don't go all out.

    The family cavalry is a treasure, the foundation of the generals, how could they be buried by Wu Sangui?

    Therefore, the glorious tradition of the Ming army has been completely continued.  Every time Wu Sangui charged, he would find that some cavalry were disobedient.  Or they are superficially obedient, afraid to move forward halfway through the charge, and avoiding the muzzle of the dragoons very accurately.

    "Call~~~~"

    After walking slowly for a quarter of an hour, the Datong Army began to blow the copper whistle again, and the flag was issued to order the whole army to jog.

    Wu Sangui said: "Marching all the way in a hurry, there are always times when you slack off, and slowly look for opportunities to break through the enemy's formation. The enemy has no supplies and auxiliary soldiers, and they can't even set up camp at night. Let's see if we can organize a night attack tonight."

    Wu Sangui sent several cavalry to chase after Zu Dashou and report the military situation

    The Datong army rushed all the way, but Zu Dashou's side was like an outing.

    Most of the city guards from nearby states and counties have gathered in Xihua County, with a total of 70,000 to 80,000 people.

    Some surrendered generals even forcibly dragged hungry people into the army halfway, so that they could ask for more military rations in Xihua County.  Of the 70,000 to 80,000 people, about 30,000 were recruited temporarily by the generals.

    Normal operation, don't be surprised.

    Who told the Qing Dynasty not to pay military salaries?  Even if the military salary is allocated, it only throws some money.

    The surrendered generals couldn't afford to support the army, so they could only disarm in large numbers and concentrate money and food to support their own servants.  When encountering a war, just recruit troops again, and by the way ask the Man Qing for more marching fees.

    In the Thirty Years War in Europe, all countries did this when they fought wars.

    Recruiting troops for war, and disarming after the war is over, oftenAfter the discussion, he ordered the whole army to stop to rest and take out the dry food they carried with them to eat.

    The distance between the two sides was about 20 miles. Zu Dashou quickly got the information and ordered the whole army to slowly approach the Datong army.  He had to seize the opportunity to take the initiative to attack while the Datong army had no armor or artillery, and he would accomplish all his achievements in one battle!

    Zu Dashou's march was extremely slow, dragged down by a group of garbage soldiers.

    When they were only a few miles away from each other, the sun had already set.  Zu Dashou was afraid that if he was too burdensome, he would be successfully attacked by the enemy at night, so he continued to lead the front army, planning to fight a decisive battle before dark.

    Cao Bianjiao, who was fighting with the enemy cavalry, also gradually distanced himself.  He held up the binoculars to observe for a while, and immediately rode towards Wei Guoxiang: "General Wei, the enemy army is in a mess, let's take the cavalry to kill it!"

    Wei Guoxiang is a son of a family in Zhejiang. He studied since he was a child, but he likes to dance knives and sticks. He joined the Datong Army as a scholar.

    First, he was a mission officer in the army. Because of his proficiency in bows and horses, he turned into a cavalry general when he was training cavalry. Now, like Cao Bianjiao, he commands 2,500 dragoons.

    Wei Guoxiang also took out his binoculars to observe carefully, and then said with a smile: "I will attack the left wing, and General Cao will attack the right wing."

    Having said that, the two of them each led their cavalry and pulled farther to restore their horses' strength.  By the way, replace the match, re-ignite, and wait for a more suitable time.

    Wu Sangui also took the cavalry back, but retreated to the rear of his own infantry.  His troops are superior, and he wants to wait for the infantry to attack first, and then find an opportunity to charge and kill the main force of the Datong army Still wanting to preserve his strength, he doesn't want too many cavalry soldiers to die.

    ? As the sun sets in the west, the afterglow is everywhere, coating the wilderness with a layer of gold.

 Body 422 [Military Spirit and Discipline]

    Cao Bianjiao knew that he would raid the enemy's scattered troops and cause the enemy's entire army to be defeated. Zu Dashou, who has been fighting for decades, would not know?

    When the two armies were about three or four miles apart, Zu Dashou began to adjust his troops.

    He placed more than 30,000 infantry with normal combat effectiveness in the front line.  He also used himself and Wu Sangui's more than 10,000 Liaodong elites as the Chinese army and reserve team.  The cavalry is placed on both sides of the central army. While protecting the central army, it can also support the front army formation, and can come out to parry the dragoons at any time, or to harass the infantry of the Datong army.

    As for the more than 20,000 weak soldiers who had no combat effectiveness, they were placed last by Zu Dashou.  If it breaks, it will break. In such a position, it will generally not attack friendly troops.

    Cao Bianjiao and Wei Guoxiang, who were already preparing to make a surprise attack, felt very helpless about this.

    Jiang Dashan, who had been walking with the soldiers all this time, finally rode his horse and rushed to Huang Shun's side: "Shunzi, the enemy's strength varies from good to bad, so there is no need to fight hard with them. Withdraw troops slowly, disrupt the enemy's formation, or simply drag them to the sky.  black."

    "Okay, I'll listen to you." Huang Shun said with a smile.

    Both of them are division commanders, and they have no position after joining forces.  This is a big taboo in war, and there must be a leader, otherwise differences will easily arise.

    At the beginning of the formation of the Datong Army, there was a rule.

    ?If an officer is killed in battle, a corps leader shall be temporarily elected among the five, and a commander shall be temporarily elected among the ten.  By analogy, when several top officials are at the same level, it should be decided in advance whose orders will prevail.

    Jiang Dashan and Huang Shun were from the same village, and they followed Zhao Han in the uprising at the same time, and their relationship was pretty good.

    Moreover, Jiang Dashan was promoted to the division commander first, and his qualifications are older.  For this joint battle, the two had already agreed that Jiang Dashan would be the commander in chief and Huang Shun would be the deputy commander.

    In order to take care of Huang Shun's emotions, Jiang Dashan took the initiative to ride over at this moment to discuss changes in tactics.

    Use binoculars to observe the enemy's situation, and the two discuss while watching.

    Huang Shun said: "Just looking at the marching lineup and flags, the enemy's front army is not as good as our rural peasants and soldiers. The enemy's central army should be elite, with an orderly formation and undisturbed flags. The enemy's rear army I'm afraid  Never fought a war."

    Jiang Dashan said with a smile: "If the enemy advances again, we will retreat, and their rear will definitely be left far behind."

    To put it bluntly, pull repeatedly!

    Seeing that the two armies were separated by a mile and a half, Zu Dashou sent troops to outflank both sides, but the Datong army suddenly retreated as a whole, without giving the enemy a chance to outflank.

    This is an unconventional operation, because the distance is too close, it is very likely that the enemy will take the opportunity to chase, and the chase will collapse.

    However, the Datong army came lightly, without even luggage, and was very disciplined. The situation when they retreated was more orderly than when the enemy army advanced.

    Zu Dashou marched forward in formation, his speed was as slow as a turtle crawling.

    There is no way, if the improvised army moves fast, it will not be able to walk a few dozen steps, and the various ministries will become uneven.

    Seeing the Datong army retreating slowly, Zu Dashou became anxious immediately.

    If you go on like this, you don't even think about fighting.  It is impossible for a group of miscellaneous troops under his command to catch up with the Datong army. Once the order to pursue them is given, they will become chaotic.  At that time, if the enemy seizes the opportunity, the whole army may be defeated.

    In this case, it has nothing to do with the general's command ability, nor with the tactics and equipment of both sides.

    It is purely a difference in the quality of the army. The well-trained and disciplined Datong army crushes the enemy's miscellaneous brands in terms of execution.

    what to do?

    Zu Dashou has three options:

    First, move forward to catch up and fight immediately.

    Second, let the cavalry attack to hinder the enemy's main force and prevent it from retreating calmly.

    Third, stop advancing and set up camp on the spot. It only takes one day to drag the enemy army without luggage to run out of food.

    The first method is easy to play yourself to pieces, and the third method may make the Datong Army run away.

    Zu Dashou chose the second option. He ordered Wu Sangui to lead the cavalry out to harass the retreating Datong army.

    "Order the dragoons to harass the enemy formation!" Jiang Dashan quickly made a decision.

    When the order sounded, Cao Bianjiao and Wei Guoxiang immediately led the dragoons to evade Wu Sangui's cavalry and attack Zu Dashou's two wings.

    The Datong Army stopped retreating and formed an array to face Wu Sangui's cavalry.

    Zu Dashou's infantry formation also stopped advancing, because the troops on the two wings were already somewhat confused.  The 5,000 dragoons, only half of them, fired guns at a long distance, and Zu Dashou's troops on both wings panicked.

    Although there is no chaos in the formation, the speed of advancement is slowed down.  lead to the middleIt's gone.

    As soon as the bugle sounded on the opposite side, the Datong Army snuffed out the match again.

    It's the third watch.

    The mission officers of 52 dragoon troops ran out with tin horns and began to shout at the enemy in turn.

    "Brothers in Liaodong, you have been born and raised in Liaodong for generations, and your ancestral graves are also in Liaodong. Your fathers and fellow villagers were all killed by the Tartars, and your elders, wives and children were abused by the Tartars. You  Do you still want to sacrifice your life for the Tartars if you don’t remember the bloody feud? Every Qingming Festival, who will worship at your ancestor’s grave? When you die one day, your ancestor will ask you why you didn’t sweep the grave and offer incense? How should you answer your ancestor!”

    "Brothers in Henan, the government of the Ming Dynasty was greedy and left Henan empty. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was more brutal than the Ming Dynasty. They burned, killed and looted everywhere. How many brothers and fathers were killed? Many of you used to be rebels. Why do you want to  Rebellion? Because we don’t have enough to eat! Our Emperor Datong in Nanjing also killed all the rebels because he was hungry. He has the same background as you. Your Majesty the Emperor of Datong knows how hard it is for the poor. His Majesty abolished excessive taxes and returned land to the poor  Life is good. Let’s say that in Runing Mansion and Nanyang Mansion in Henan Province, the common people have already divided their land. Don’t work for the Tartars, vote for His Majesty the Emperor of Datong, organize households and divide the land, and cultivate land for yourself in the future. Everyday  You can eat enough, and the dolls don’t need money to study!"

    "Brothers in Shanxi, most of you are from military households. The Tartars have entered the customs and plundered year after year, and you have been ordered by King Qin every time. How many of your fathers, brothers, elders, relatives and friends have died under the swords of the Tartars.  Serving your life for the Tartars, are you worthy of your dead relatives and friends? Surrender quickly, His Majesty the Emperor of Datong, the military households have been abolished. From now on, soldiers and wars are all voluntary. Those who don’t want to fight will be given the land and grow their own food. There is no government.  Exploitation, and there are no officers who order you to be cows and horses"

    As the shouting progressed, Zu Dashou's army became noisy.

    Those who surrendered soldiers and generals may only have a little feeling.  But the low-ranking officers and ordinary soldiers were shaken by the shouting, and the missionaries said every word to their hearts.

    "Han brothers, if you want to surrender, throw away your weapons during the battle and lie on the ground, or squat on the ground. The Datong army does not kill prisoners, but also divides the land for you. Remember, when you start a war, throw away your weapons.  Lie on the ground, or squat on the ground!"

    Zu Dashou's complexion changed drastically: "The cavalry quickly drive away those shouts!" It took only a second for the genius to remember the address of this site.

 Text 423 [Thousands of People Charge]

    Xue Si sat on the ground, tilted his head and asked the fellow villagers: "What are you shouting on the other side?"

    "It's too far away, I can't hear you clearly." Fang Tang shook his head.

    Xue Si asked again: "Why is there a commotion in front?"

    Fang Tang was upset and said: "How do I know, after running for a whole day, no one is allowed to sleep."

    "Are you still sleeping? You can't get up when you fall asleep." Xue Si said.

    Fang Tang spat: "Bah, bah, bah, don't talk frustratingly."

    The two met while fleeing famine, and they voted for Yuan Laosan's team together.  At that time, Yuan Laosan's army was called Dayuanying, and Yuan Shizhong's army was called Xiaoyuanying.

    After Yuan Laosan was defeated, they followed Nezha to rebel.

    This Nezha, not that Nezha, really didn't have the ability to make a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, and was wiped out by the officers and soldiers after only half a year of rebellion.

    ?They went around and followed the four bandit chiefs back and forth, and now they are taking refuge under Zhang Yigui's command.

    Xue Si couldn't fall asleep anyway, and said in a low voice: "Do you think this battle can be won?"

    "It doesn't matter who wins or loses," Fang Tang said indifferently, "Run away if you lose, and run faster if you win, maybe you can cut off the head of a high-ranking official."

    Xue Si said again: "Do you still remember that Chen Xiucai?"

    "The secret work of being caught and beheaded?" Fang Tang asked.

    Xue Si nodded and said: "That's the one. He said that everyone in the south can share the land. They don't farm land for landlords, but for their own families. Emperor Zhao is also very benevolent. He has no servants and does not collect miscellaneous taxes."

    Fang Tang laughed and said: "How can there be such a good thing in the world? That Chen Xiucai is talking nonsense."

    "What if it's true?" Xue Si asked again with yearning and longing, "Many folks have no food to eat, and they all went to the south together. Do you think they got the land?"

    Fang Tang said: "Divide the fart's field. There is no good person who is an emperor or an official. Can you divide the field? Even if the field is divided, there will be severe drought every year, and no food will be grown. This  In the world, only fools farm! God doesn’t have eyes, so he can’t grow food. God has eyes, and the food he grows is robbed by others. It’s true to rebel and serve as soldiers. If we don’t rebel, we won’t be soldiers under General Zhang.  I've starved to death for years."

    Xue Si sighed: "Oh, that's true."

    Fang Tang warned: "Today's battle is very strange. It's so close to nightfall. I'm afraid it will start in the middle of the night. Fourth brother, be careful. If either of us falls asleep, remember to wake them up and run away together.  We are all living ghosts whose whole family is dead, you take care of me, and I take care of you. Don't give your life to anyone, our lives are our own."

    "I've been making noise all the time, how can I sleep?" Xue Si sighed

    Ouyang Shu was lying on the ground holding a spear, more precisely on the grass.

    It's a little cold at night, but fortunately it's not the season for mosquitoes to show their power, otherwise it will be even more uncomfortable tonight.

    Although the superior's military order is to take turns to rest, Ouyang Shu can't sleep at all.  From time to time, there were dragoons shouting between the two armies, or the gunfire soldiers in the front lit the matchlock.

    As long as there is any movement, the orders from both sides will ring non-stop.

    Ouyang Shu's ancestors belonged to a wealthy family in Anfu County, but by his generation, they had already been reduced to tenants.  His name was given by Mr. Cunshu, who was born in the main clan, as a reward for his parents with half a catty of rice.

    Ouyang Shu's eldest brother was also a soldier and was killed in the battle with Sun Kewang.

    In addition to the pension, the family also shared an extra acre of land.  The mayor also personally came to condolences, and let the eldest brother's two sons and a daughter study well, so that they can get extra points no matter what exams they take in the future.

    Ouyang Shu also received her elder brother's legacy, giving priority to converting from the militia to the regular army.

    He is not afraid of fighting. The young people in the village are all eager to join the army. How many people are looking forward to fighting and making meritorious service.  There are rewards for victories, pensions even for death, and extra points for children's exams. Anyway, serving as a soldier for Mr. Zhao will not suffer.

    In the daytime, she took off her armor and marched in a hurry, and in the evening, she faced the enemy's back and forth. Although Ouyang Shu didn't understand what was going on, she just followed the orders.

    He has listened to those orders countless times, and he always supports them every day during training.

    If he doesn't listen to orders for a day, he will feel that something is missing.

    In Zu Dashou's eyes, it seemed so unbelievable to advance and retreat in front of the battle.  But for soldiers like Ouyang Shu, it was no different from usual training, they got used to it so early every day.

    Afraid of being chased by the enemy?

    Hehe, the Datong army never thought that they would lose.

    It doesn't matter if they are arrogant soldiers, anyway, they have already developed an aura of giving up to me, and even the low-level soldiers don't pay attention to Man Qing.

    Ouyang Shu turned over and saw that Shaoyang next to him was lying on his pillow with one arm.??Run fast, and no one is chasing him.  Because there are still many cavalry who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and are fighting with the dragoons, Cao Bianjiao and Wei Guoxiang must deal with these guys first.

    On the land of the Central Plains, in the soft morning light, tens of thousands of people moved like ants.

    Wu Sangui fled all the way north, and rushed to the vicinity of the confluence of Shahe and Guoshui. There were only more than 20 family cavalry behind him.  Fearing that the enemy would come after him, he took off all his armor and swam over with his horse.

    Zu Dashou is also a master of escape, running all the way to Taikang County.

    After resting in the city for a while, he fled to Zhongmu by boat, and he dared not defend Taikang County.

    "Catch an enemy general!"

    Jiang Yan, whose younger brother was killed in the battle, rode to see who was caught, full of anger.

    He recognized this person at a glance, and said: "This guy is Zu Zeqing, the fourth son of Zu Dashou!"

    Zu Zeqing looked pained, fell off the horse and broke his leg.

    &lt;/div&gt

    After shelling the city wall for eleven days in a row, the rest of the men were not idle.

    A large number of civilians have filled several sections of the moat, but anyone who can do carpentry is sent to make siege equipment.

    There are about 500 aerial ladders, the kind with wooden planks for arrows, anti-push grapples, and winches for lifting.  There are also more than a thousand simple ladders, which are basically useless because the city walls of Shangqiu are too high.

    There is also a chariot to cover the advance of the infantry. Although it is made temporarily and is not as sophisticated as the Manchu chariot, it is enough to block arrows.

    Moreover, there are many long wooden boards left, which can be built on the gap in the city wall.  For the incomplete city wall more than two meters high, dozens of hundreds of planks can be built to create slopes for attack.

    The forest near Shangqiu has been cut down by Zhao Han!

    Surrounded by three and missing one, tens of thousands of troops attacked the city together, without using cannon fodder to test, the city wall must be taken down today.

    The chariots are in front, and each chariot can cover dozens of infantry.

    Excellent ladders can also cover infantry.

    When the siege troops were advancing, 53 artillery pieces were aimed at the walls on both sides of the gap, because there were enemy troops setting pots on the walls to burn oil under the artillery fire.

    Tong Yangjia dispatched soldiers to climb the city wall several times, but they were smashed into chaos by a cannonball.  These city defenders were so frightened that they all lay behind the parapet. If any artillery hit the parapet, a group of unlucky ones would be born.

    The female wall is thin and can only protect against arrows, but not artillery.

    Tong Yangjia said to Sun Dingliao: "Sun Dutong, you must guard the gap!"

    "We must stick to it." Sun Dingliao replied.

    Sun Dingliao has been in the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, and his official position is the deputy capital of the Han Army with the red flag.  The family business is all in the Qing Dynasty, he can't surrender, even if he surrenders, there will be no good fruit.

    More than 20 chariots came to the gap, and Sun Dingliao's Wuzhen Chaoha heavy infantry guarded the incomplete city wall that was only two meters high.

    On the intact city walls on both sides, there are more than 2,000 musketeers assembled from various ministries, including three-eyed muskets, matchlock guns, and flintlock guns. Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have already assembled them.

    Daming also had flintlock guns, but their performance was poor, and the misfire rate was over 30% to 40%.  Some shoddy ones have a misfire rate of more than 50%, and their combat effects are far inferior to matchlock guns.

    When the friendly troops approached the city wall for dozens of steps, all the artillery stopped firing because of fear of accidental injury.  The enemy's firecrackers took advantage of this time to go up the wall, trying to shoot down the Datong infantry from a high position.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The chariot was a few meters away from the gap, and the few infantry hiding behind were exposed to the guns of the enemy's musketeers on the city.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Some of the enemy firearms soldiers refused to obey orders and fired ahead of time nervously.

    One person fired, causing the people next to him to follow suit.  Shooting indiscriminately, Datong's infantry only fell more than a dozen people.

    If they had obeyed the order and brought the chariot closer and fired, the soldiers would have been exposed even more, and it was likely to cause two or three hundred casualties.

    "Bastard, who the hell fired the gun first?"

    Meng Qiaofang's nephew, Meng Xiongbi, cursed and then ordered: "Quickly refill the bomb!"

    For Datong firecrackers, the interval between firing, reloading, and firing has been shortened to about 50 seconds.  As for these miscellaneous firecrackers, loading ammunition on the spot is no longer a matter of how long it takes, but whether they can accurately load the ammunition.

    Many firecrackers were in a hurry, either forgot to load the gunpowder, or stuffed the gunpowder hard.

    Meng Xiongbi was very anxious, and asked the soldiers who were boiling the golden juice and hot oil: "Is it hot?"

    "Not yet, soon, soon!"

    The golden juice and hot oil here are cooked in a pot after the artillery stops firing.

    Tong Yangjia ordered the soldiers to burn oil against the gunfire. Under the intimidation of the military law team, a group of unlucky people went up to light the firewood.  Only one pot was overturned by the shell, and the rest ran away, and then they were forced to go up the city wall by the law enforcement team.

    Although the city wall is very wide, the accuracy of the artillery is not enough, it is difficult to hit the people burning oil.

    But fifty-three artillery pieces fired in bursts, not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the Eight Banners soldiers could not withstand it, the psychological pressure was too great.

    Meng Xiongbi walked over to see that the oil in the pot hadn't smoked yet.

    It also takes time to boil a pot of oil.

    ? Meng Xiongbi's uncle (and adoptive father) is Meng Qiaofang. His ancestors followed Zhu Dijing's hard work, and he has been a hereditary general in Yongpingwei ever since.

    Meng Qiaofang's father even went as far as the governor of Ming Ningxia.

    But this guy, who was surrendered to the Qing Dynasty eleven years ago, is no different from Sun Dingliao.

    &nThe quality of the firecrackers is worrying, and two consecutive Qing army firecrackers exploded.

    On the ladder, thirty or forty Datong soldiers fell one after another, all of them were hit by stones and rolling logs.  Xiong Wancheng, wearing two pairs of cotton armor and holding a rattan badge in his hand, quickly climbed up the ten-meter-long ladder.

    Climbing up to the female wall, several spears stabbed at him. Xiong Wan took advantage of his short body to dodge, and simply threw away the rattan badge.  When he was climbing again, several spears stabbed at him again. He reached out and grabbed one, and pulled it down forcefully.  The opponent leaned forward to stab, and was caught off guard by Xiong Wancheng who pulled him out of the parapet.

    The two collided into a ball, rolled down the ladder, and knocked down several Datong soldiers one after another.

    After falling more than ten meters high, Xiong Wancheng survived and stood up on the spot.  On the contrary, the Qing army dragged down by him, and the friendly army who was smashed in the rear, were already dying.

    "kill!"

    Xiong Wancheng shook his head, climbed the ladder again and rushed up.

    Zhu Youdong had already rushed through the gap, and three hundred plate armored soldiers crashed into the enemy formation in the city together.  Even the two plate armor warriors who were scalded by the hot oil were still charging with their burns because the hot oil was far from boiling and they were protected by plate armor and protective clothing.

    The enemy here is not Wuzhenchao Haying, but relatively elite infantry.

    Facing 300 iron men rushing into battle, I started to get scared before I started fighting.  There was a crisp sound of jingling, and it was impossible to break through the plate armor defense.

    They have no experience in dealing with plate armor, even if the plate armor fighter falls down, they don't know how to lift the visor and poke their eyes.

    In their view, this is a group of invincible steel monsters.

    "Run away!"

    There are more than two thousand enemy troops in a dense array, they are really elite, otherwise they would not be sent to plug the gap.  But when three hundred plate armor warriors rushed into the formation and killed them, the two thousand people quickly collapsed mentally.

    More and more Datong melee soldiers rushed in through the gap, following the plate armored warriors.  They rushed up the city wall through the ramp in the city, formed a formation to kill the defending troops, and let the enemy defending the city suffer from the enemy.

    Xiong Wancheng, who was climbing the ladder, suddenly felt a sudden drop in pressure.  He struggled to get injured and climbed over the female wall, raised his knife to charge and chop, and soon a few friendly soldiers climbed up behind him.

    The Qing army in this section of the city wall was also defeated!

    "Quick, get up there don't run away!"

    Tong Yangjia yelled sharply, shouting and shouting, and he himself ran away.

 Text 428 [The Plague is the Great Enemy] (addition for the penguin boss)

    Dorgon had already crossed the river with more than 30 cannons, and put the cannons on the opposite bank.

    As for the soldiers of the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of Manchuria crossed the river first, followed by the Eight Banners of Mongolia, and the Eight Banners of the Han Army were in charge of the rear.  At this moment, most of the Eight Banners of the Han Army had crossed the river, and there were only a few thousand Wuzhenchao Ha camps left.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Lu Xiangsheng led his troops to chase after him, and the Manchu and Qing artillery on the other side fired immediately.

    "Scatter the formation!"

    "The dragoons light the match!"

    Kong Youde stood on the other side of the Yellow River, and one of the Han army banner firearms soldiers who had not yet crossed the river was his only son Kong Tingxun.

    Dorgon ordered: "All the ships are destroyed, don't cross the river to pick up people. As for the Han army flag on the other side, as many as you can come over."

    Kong Youde hesitated to speak, he didn't dare to disobey orders, so he could only direct the artillery to shoot at the Datong cavalry who surrounded them.

    After a while, Dorgon said with an ugly face: "Don't worry about it, the whole army is on the move!"

    It's not that Dorgon didn't save him, but those Han army flags were scrambling to board the boat and cross the river.  Among them are more than 2,000 firecrackers. If they lined up by the river and supported by artillery, it is absolutely possible for the heavy infantry to cross the river safely.

    But in this case, who is willing to sacrifice himself for others and risk his life to cover the escape of friendly troops?

    Kong Tingxun, who was in command of the firecrackers, rushed to board the boat himself, and the rest of the firecrackers followed suit.  It is impossible to line up at all, and it is a mess everywhere, with heavy infantry and musketeers pushing each other.

    The ship is full and cannot leave the shore, and there are always soldiers who want to go up.

    Ever since, the soldiers who had boarded the ship swung their knives at those who had not boarded the ship.  There were even firecrackers, shooting at the soldiers climbing the boat, and the roaring, crying, cursing, and begging on the shore were loud and loud.

    Seeing this situation, Lu Xiangsheng only ordered hundreds of dragoons to rush over and fire guns at these Han army flags in an extremely scattered formation.

    The scene suddenly became more chaotic, and several ships were directly overturned.

    As the Manchu artillery on the opposite bank was dragged away, Lu Xiangsheng ordered the cavalry to charge.

    The banners of the Han army who had not yet boarded the ship jumped into the river to flee for their lives, and some of them knelt down and begged for mercy.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The dragoons came to the river, got off their horses, raised their guns, and fired at the enemy on board.

    Kong Youde's only son, Kong Tingxun, had successfully boarded the ship, and the boat was more than ten meters away from the shore.  However, several people on the boat were shot, and Kong Tingxun was pushed into the Yellow River by his own soldiers under panic and shoving.

    "Pullhacuckoopull me up"

    Kong Tingxun couldn't swim, so he struggled and shouted in the water. In a blink of an eye, he drifted a few meters downstream and hit the bottom of another boat.

    Feeling dizzy, he choked on a few more sips of water, and Kong Tingxun emerged from the water again.

    "Hoo!"

    Another Han army flag was shot and fell into the water, hitting Kong Tingxun beside him.  This guy hugged the soldier's body as a life-saving straw, but it was still sinking.

    After floating and sinking for a while, his stomach was finally full, his whole body was exhausted, and he sank with endless fear

    With the withdrawal of the Qing army, it will be decided by the various counties of Kaifeng Prefecture.

    Immediately afterwards, Huaiqing Mansion, Weihui Mansion, and Zhangde Mansion were attached.  Even the Daming Mansion and Guangping Mansion, which belonged to Northern Zhili, quickly changed their banners, and civil servants and military generals shouted long live the Emperor Zhao.

    It is impossible for these guys to continue to be officials, and it would be nice if they were not severely punished.

    Zhao Han has already formulated standards for the demoting of officials and generals.

    The first class, those who have made meritorious service.

    When the battle situation was uncertain, he was not attacked by the Datong army, but took the initiative to rebel against the Qing Dynasty.  Or at a critical moment, the outcome is not yet decided, and they defect.  Regardless of the papers, officials and military generals, these are all meritorious service. Past crimes are not blamed, and rewards will be given as appropriate.

    For example, Huang Fei and Ma Jinzhong in Shandong, and Yuan Shizhong, Jiang Yu, and Jiang Xuan in Henan.

    These must be commended, especially Jiang Xuan, who was killed in the fight with Wu Sangui in order to cover Datong's pawns, and the spirit can be sent to the Temple of Heroes for enshrining.

    The living Huang Fei and other generals were first recalled to Nanjing to study Datong Theory, and then assigned to various troops to visit and study training.  When the 12th Division of the Datong Army is formed in the future, they can directly serve as regiment-level officers, and the number of troops in command is 1,500.

    As for the leaders of the rebel army, they also went to Nanjing to study first, and those who were willing to serve as soldiers were given positions as appropriate.

    People like Yan Yingyuan who have studied books can directly become county magistrates because of their great achievements.

    ?The second class is to surrender anyway, and to look forward to it.

    Facing the front of the Datong Army, give up resistance and surrender immediately.  Or the overall situation has been decided, and the flag is changed upon hearing the news.??Chengdong hasn't grown up yet.

    Li Chengdong was Gao Jie's general, Gao Jie was He Renlong's general, and He Renlong was at the same level as Zuo Liangyu.

    After He Renlong was killed by Li Zicheng in Henan, Gao Jie and Li Chengdong both defected to Zuo Liangyu and went to Shandong, and then joined the Qing Dynasty together.

    "Kite, I can't fight anymore," Li Chengdong persuaded, "if this continues, we won't be killed by the Datong army outside, and we will die of the plague. We must quietly send people out of the city to contact the Datong army, and we should finish the battle as soon as possible.  .”

    Gao Jie sighed: "Tartars keep an eye on it, otherwise I would have sent people out of the city long ago."

    Li Chengdong said: "More and more Tartar soldiers are infected with the disease, and more and more city walls are handed over to us Han soldiers to guard. Within a day or two, we will definitely find an opportunity."

    Gao Jie clenched his fists, smacked his palms and said, "The other Han generals in the city probably thought of defecting a long time ago, but they can join forces secretly. At that time, we will fight in the city first, and if we can kill a few Tartars  Officer, didn't he make a great contribution?"

    "It's the best way to do this. Emperor Zhao will definitely rule the world, and you can't go wrong with him." Li Chengdong said.

    The two discussed the details again, and agreed on the goals of their respective series.

    Li Chengdong got up and went back to eat. After nightfall, he boarded the city wall and checked the situation under the pretext of night patrol.  As I was walking, I suddenly felt hot all over, and my head was dizzy and painful.

    Sitting down against the female wall, Li Chengdong was so frightened that he trembled all over. He knew that he was also infected.

    Gao Jie, who has been in contact with him for a long time, may not be able to escape this plague.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Body 429【Plague and Flood】

    Being surrounded by the city and contracting the plague is completely different from squatting outside the city to face the plague.

    People in the city will think that as long as I rush out of the city, I can escape from the center of the plague.  If I don't rush out, I will die sooner or later if I stay in the city!

    On the sixth day of the siege of Jinan, Azig, the coach of the Qing army, took the initiative to leave the city.

    Not to mention that the soldiers couldn't bear the psychological pressure, even Azig himself was going crazy.  When he led troops to exterminate the rebel army, a plague broke out in the army. Facing the outflanking of Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu, he could only temporarily retreat into Jinan City for defense.

    As a result, more and more people were infected with the epidemic, and the non-combat attrition of the Eight Banners Army has reached nearly one-third.

    Until three days ago, Azig didn't know the purpose of the mask, so he searched the whole city for cloth and ordered the whole army to wear masks.

    But he didn't know that the mask had to be boiled every day, otherwise the mask would become a breeding ground for germs after being worn for a long time.

    Moreover, Azig has a noble status and specially wears a pair of silk masks.

    Azig was very frightened, because five of the generals he had contacted recently had been infected with the plague and died, including Gao Jie and Li Chengdong.

    Thousands of the Eight Banners Army, tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers and generals, did not wait for the Datong Army to pull out the artillery, and the whole army went out of the city early in the morning for a decisive battle.

    "Run!"

    I saw that those surrendered soldiers and generals did not line up after leaving the city, but chose to flee in all directions.

    Not to mention taking up weapons and fighting bloody battles, they didn't even surrender to be next to friendly soldiers. Anyone who went out looked like a plague-infected body.

    Azig stood on the tower, and he didn't dare to be next to the soldiers. He planned to wait for the whole army to leave the city, and then lead the Chinese army out of the city to command the battle.  In the end, the fight hadn't started yet, and the soldiers under his command were scrambling to escape. What the hell kind of fight is this?

    "Let's go!"

    Azig knew he would be defeated, so he didn't even want the Eight Banners infantry, and fled with only the Eight Banners Xiao cavalry.

    Fei Ruhe, Zhang Tieniu and the others were also dumbfounded when they saw the situation on the opposite side.  Thousands of dragoons went out immediately, and even a missionary officer rode a horse and took out a tin horn and shouted: "Surrender without killing, don't run around! Surrender without killing, don't run around!"

    If these tens of thousands of deserters break up and disperse to various counties, the plague will wreak havoc everywhere they pass!

    There were too many routs, and the dragoons couldn't take care of them leaving the city from all directions.  The north was blocked, and the south was mountainous. Azig fled westward with the Manchu cavalry.

    When the Datong Army discovered the situation, Azig had already escaped for a mile, and Ma Wannian hurriedly led his dragoons to chase him.

    After you chased me for more than ten miles, Azig suddenly fell off his horse, and his whole body was burning with fever.

    "The Eight Kings are infected!"

    Seeing Azig's symptoms, the Manqing Xiao cavalry shouted in horror.  They didn't dare to come over to help him onto the horse, and they didn't even dare to get too close, so they all abandoned Azig and left.

    When Ma Wannian caught up and saw this situation, he was also terrified, and quickly ordered: "Don't be next to this person, wait for the civilian husband to come and set fire to him. Continue to pursue!"

    These Manchu cavalry had nowhere to escape.

    To the north of Jinan City, hundreds of years later was the Yellow River, which is now called the Daqing River.  To the east is the Wuhe River (also known as Xiujiang), a tributary of the Daqing River, to the west is the Shahe River, a tributary of the Daqing River, and to the south is a large area of ??mountainous areas.

    The Manchu and Qing cavalry fled to the banks of the Shahe River, so they could only follow the river south and plunge into the mountainous valley.

    This river valley is eighty miles long and goes straight to Mount Tai. After leaving the valley, it is Tai'an.

    Ye Chen rode his horse and rushed to Ild's side, shouting: "This is not the way to escape, there are not many enemy cavalry chasing, you can turn around and annihilate them first!"

    Ild fought with Dodo before, and finally fled with more than a thousand cavalry. He is very experienced: "These cavalry are very difficult to deal with. Let's fight back and they will run away!"

    "Go back and try!" Ye Chen was still unwilling.

    Ye Chen's full name is Wanyan Yechen, he is already in his fifties, and he is a first-class hereditary viscount.

    There were 3,000 Manchu Qing cavalry, and Ma Wannian only brought 2,000 cavalry to chase them.  Seeing the Manchu cavalry turn around and attack, Ma Wannian ordered the dragoons to fire their guns, and then immediately ran away on horseback. Anyway, the armored enemy cavalry would definitely not be able to catch up.

    Due to the long distance, only a dozen enemies were hit by a salvo.

    Ye Chen roared furiously: "Bastard!"

    Yild sighed: "I told you, those gunfire cavalry will definitely flee."

    Seeing that the Manchu and Qing cavalry stopped, Ma Wannian also ordered the dragoons to stop, taking the opportunity to dismount the whole army and reload the ammunition.

    Erde said: "It's better to order the soldiers to take off their armor, our horses are better, and we will definitely be able to"

    Zhao Han smiled helplessly, and said to himself: "The Yellow River needs to be harnessed, but there is not enough food, so it is impossible to mobilize manpower. The puppet Qing who fled back to Beizhili can't pursue it anymore. Everything is blocked by this flood."  Living."

    Li Xiangjun said flatteringly: "Your Majesty's government will definitely be cleared up in Haiyan and Heqing within ten years. The puppet Qing and remnant bandits are numbered after autumn."

    "Haha," Zhao Han said with a smile, "you're really good at flattering horses."

    Zhao Han was devastated by the plague and floods, and Dorgon was dumbfounded when he returned to Beijing.

    The inner city and outer city of Beijing, whether Manchu or Han Chinese, began to be infected with the plague on a large scale.  Many Manchu nobles clamored to leave Beijing, not only because of the crisis in Liaodong, but also because of the terrible plague in Beijing.

    This plague in Beijing should have been faced by Chongzhen, and the time for the Manchus to enter the customs was too early!

    And Hauge, who was fighting against Li Zicheng in Shaanxi, also had his cronies inform him of the news.  Hauge left Li Zicheng alone and took the initiative to lead his troops back to Beijing. Li Zicheng took advantage of the situation and took the whole of Shaanxi, and went all the way to the border of Shanxi.

    King Chuang is back!  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Body 430【Retreat to Liaodong】

    ? On June 24th of the new calendar, the flood in Henan gradually subsided, and the Datong Emperor Zhao Han returned triumphantly.

    To be precise, I only brought back my own army, and stopped at Dangshan by boat.  Including Zhao Han himself, all camped and quarantined outside Dangshan City, and confirmed that no one was infected with the plague before continuing their journey.

    As for the armies from all walks of life, they have their own arrangements.

    ?The first division and the second division, the former was stationed in Dezhou, the latter was stationed in Linqing, isolated and rested in Shandong, and at the same time guarded against the Manchus going south.  The food and salaries of the army were supplied north along the Grand Canal.

    The third division was stationed in Guangping Mansion, the fourth division was stationed in Zhangde Mansion, and the fifth division was stationed in Huaiqing Mansion to guard against enemies in Shanxi and North Zhili.  The food and salaries of the army go north along the Grand Canal, and then go to the Yellow River for transportation.

    The Sixth Division was transferred to Yunyang, Hubei to guard against Li Zicheng in Shaanxi.

    ?The Seventh Division is responsible for clearing and suppressing bandits in Henan.

    The Eighth Division stayed in Luoyang and was supplied with food from Hubei.

    Huang Fei, Ma Jinzhong and others in Shandong made meritorious deeds and surrendered to generals, temporarily retaining 1,500 young and strong soldiers each to assist Shandong local officials in suppressing bandits, and the remaining troops were all disbanded as civilians.

    To tell the truth, tens of thousands of people piled up in the north, and the local area was temporarily unable to support itself in food, so all the military food had to be transported from the south.  Manpower has to be mobilized along the way, and the peasants will consume a lot of food, which is not much different from fighting alone - it happens to use work instead of food, so that a large number of hungry people can transport food.

    It is easy to fight, but difficult to manage.

    For civil and military officials in Shandong and Henan provinces, Zhao Han set goals for them: in the first year, eliminate bandits, control the epidemic, and divide households and land; in the second year, accept immigrants, and the local people will be self-sufficient in food;  , can provide part of the food and grass for the garrison.

    Zhao Han intends to use ten years to restore Shandong and Henan to normal.

    This speed is astonishingly fast. In history, Sichuan was killed and the tigers who liked to live alone actually appeared in groups. The Manchus have been immigrating to Sichuan for hundreds of years.

    The immigration work of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was purely blind. Many early immigrants died.  Either be eaten by wild beasts, or freeze to death and starve to death, it depends on God's will whether he can survive

    Taiyuan Shanxi.

    Li Zicheng, Emperor of Dashun, returned to this city again.

    The news of the battle in Shandong and Henan spread to Shanxi, and I witnessed Hauge leading his troops away. Everyone knew that the Manchu Qing would definitely not win the world.

    Since Li Zicheng returned to Shanxi, he would choose to defect again.  Except for the generals who had made great enemies, such as stabbing Li Zicheng in the back, or killing important officials such as Song Xiance, the rest of the troops who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty fell into Li Zicheng's arms.

    "Your Majesty," Niu Jinxing suggested, "Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces have abundant rainfall this year, and the severe drought of more than ten years has ended. When His Majesty returns, Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will have happy rain. This is God's favor for His Majesty.  Your Majesty should select talents and employ talents, rectify the administration of officials, eliminate warlords, reorganize households, and encourage agriculture and mulberry. You must not rush to attack territory. There are major epidemics in Beizhili, Shandong, and Henan. Even if they are defeated, they will still be infected with the plague  It's just white ground."

    Li Zicheng nodded and said: "I know what you said. Where can I find the talents who govern the region?"

    Niu Jinxing said: "We can learn from the puppet emperors in the south and employ a large number of poor scholars. If they are talented and learned, they should be reused even if they are civil servants who have been sent to the Qing Dynasty. Restoring people's livelihood is the most important task, and the two provinces of Shanxi and Shanxi must rest and recuperate."

    "Aren't poor scholars greedy for money?" Li Zicheng asked.

    Niu Jinxing said: "Everyone is greedy for money, even the ministers are greedy for money. Rules should be set, and rules should not be changed overnight. Strict restrictions must also be imposed, and no mercy will be given to those who break the law. Even the brothers of the old camp who break the law must be severely punished!"

    Li Zicheng sighed: "I can get away with it, but I'm afraid that corrupt officials won't be able to kill them all."

    "It's one thing if you can't kill it, but it's another thing if you can't kill it," Niu Jinxing said, "After Shanxi is pacified, envoys will be sent to Beijing to reconcile with the puppet Qing Dynasty."

    Li Zicheng frowned, obviously unwilling.

    Niu Jinxing persuaded: "Your Majesty, today, the Three Kingdoms stand together. I Dashun occupies Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu, and the Puppet Qing Dynasty has Northern Zhili, Liaodong, and Mongolia.  Just like Cao Cao in the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. When we fight against the Puppet Qing Dynasty, it is like Liu Bei fighting against Sun Quan. Wouldn’t it be in vain to take advantage of Cao Cao?”

    Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "Tartars are Tartars, where did Sun Quan come from? But it is true that we can no longer fight against Tartars."

    Niu Jinxing said: "Before the great rule of Shanxi and Shanxi, we can't go to war with the puppet."

    Li Zicheng had no choice but to smile bitterly: "That Zhao Han in Nanjing, who has repeatedly defeated the Tartars, must be very good at running the army. I look like I am now, and Shanxi has not even been pacified. How can I dare to start a war with Zhao?"

    theSo, Daishan helped Dorgon speak instead?

    Bumbutai also hugged the little emperor and spoke: "Prince Li is right."

    Hauge only felt that his vest was cold, but the two yellow flags and two red flags all supported Dorgon!

    The reason is simple. Dorgon was indeed arrogant and domineering before, but this time he has suffered heavy losses.  Let him continue to be the regent, the empress dowager can rest assured that Daishan will no longer feel threatened.

    If Dorgon is convicted and Hauge, who has not been weakened, takes over as the regent, both the empress dowager and Daishan will be on their backs.

    Of course, Hauge also had to appease.

    After some discussion, it was decided to return all the Niu Lu deprived of last time to Hauge.

    Bumubutai said: "Don't ask whose crime it is. Today we are going to discuss the plague in Beijing. Whether we should move back to Liaodong."

    Dai Shan said: "There is no danger for Beijing to defend. Once the southern soldiers and food are sufficient, there will be more than 100,000 troops going straight to the outside of Beijing. In addition to the severe drought in Gyeonggi this year, few grains of grain can be harvested, and the plague is raging.  I think we should abandon Beijing and return to the west of Shanhaiguan."

    "I agree!"

    "I agree too!"

    A group of Eight Banners nobles joined in one after another, they were all scared by the plague.

    And the Datong Army in the south is obviously not a soft persimmon.  Since the south cannot be conquered, why are they living in Beijing?  Retreating to Liaodong is the last word!

    Dorgon, who managed to keep his status as regent, could not stop this decision.

    When Li Zicheng's envoys arrived in Beijing, they found that the Manchus were packing their bags and going back to their hometown in Liaodong.

    So the plague is everywhere, and this year's severe drought in Beizhili, should we send troops to occupy it?

    Li Zicheng was a little uncertain, and Zhao Han didn't know how to deal with it.

 Text 431 [Yangzhou thin horse, disappearing from now on]

    Gu Junen, who set the development path for Li Zicheng, did not meet Li Zicheng in this time and space, and is now working as a petty official in Zhao Han's territory.

    Fu Geng, the envoy sent by Li Zicheng, was detained at the border of Anhui and was quarantined for half a month before being released.

    Fu Geng caught up with Zhao Han's driver in Gaoyou, and as Li Zicheng's envoy, he was immediately summoned by the Emperor of Datong.

    Fu Geng wanted to take off his mask and knelt down, but Zhao Han stopped him: "There is no need to take off the mask."

    "Greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of Datong!" Fu Geng knelt down.

    Zhao Han said, "Sit down."

    After Fu Geng sat down, he did not convey Li Zicheng's intention, but asked: "Your Majesty, I have a younger brother named Fu Shan. A few years ago, he went south with Master Yuan, and he wrote a letter to go home. Later, the north and the south were blocked.  There is no news, I don't know if Your Majesty has heard my brother's name."

    Zhao Han suddenly laughed: "It turns out that he is Fu Qingzhu's elder brother, and his younger brother is doing very well in Nanjing."

    The Emperor of Datong actually knew his younger brother, so the younger brother must be doing well in the south, Fu Geng felt relieved and at the same time excited.

    Fu Shan is proficient in a subset of classics and history, is good at calligraphy and painting, and also has research on swordsmanship, Buddhism and Taoism.  But he was reused by Zhao Han because of his status as a "master of gynecology", and now he is the vice president of Jinling Medical College and the head of the gynecology department.

    If Zhao Han's concubines were unwell, they would call Fu Shan by name and invite him into the palace for consultation.

    Fu Geng said comfortingly: "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive."

    Zhao Han asked: "What did your lord order you to do?"

    Fu Geng said: "My lord wishes to be brothers with His Majesty, and Dashun and Datong are also countries of brothers."

    Zhao Han couldn't help smiling: "Then I should call your lord brother?"

    "Your Majesty is a brother, and my lord is a younger brother," Fu Geng said, "I heard that your majesty is a descendant of Zhao Song, while my lord is a descendant of the Li family in Xixia. The situation now is the same as it was then. After your majesty recovers Henan and Shandong, the land will be like  Like the Song Dynasty. My lord is based on the old land of Xixia, and the puppet Qing Dynasty was the Liao Kingdom at that time."

    At this moment, the news that the Manchu Qing moved back to Liaodong had just reached Shandong, and neither Zhao Han nor Fu Geng knew about it.

    About the country of brothers is just the price offered by Li Zicheng. His bottom line is to surrender to Zhao Han, but keep his own country name and territory, just like Xixia surrendered to Zhao Song.

    As for the descendants of Xixia, it is purely to put gold on his face. Li Zicheng twice claimed that the emperor respected Xixia Li Jiqian as the ancestor.

    This is a routine operation. After a small person has made a fortune, he always has to find a powerful ancestor for himself.

    Even the ministers of civil and military affairs in Nanjing proposed to compile the royal family tree, and the ancestor can be designated as Zhao Wenzi, because the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties also followed this path.

    Zhao Han is not interested in this kind of thing, nor is he interested in meeting Li Zicheng as a brother.

    He asked Li Xiangjun to bring a pen and paper, fearing that Li Zicheng would not be able to understand, so he specially wrote the letter in vulgar language:

    "Self-Cheng Xiongtai Lesson: My brother was a postman earlier, and my younger brother was just a slave. The Ming Dynasty has no way, and the people have a hard time living, so you and my brother raised up the army. My brother is a man, and he is indomitable. I admire him very much. If there is no brother to restrain him  The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for the younger brother to take the south lightly. This kindness and righteousness, the younger brother must repay it. If the older brother surrenders the mountains and Shanxi, the older brother can be the Duke of Dingbei. The younger brother’s generals, such as Li Guo and Liu Zongmin, must have titles  Waiting. If you don’t want to join me, you and I will recuperate separately and come back to compete in the Central Plains in three to five years. Brother Zhao Han, I worship you!”

    The letter was boxed and sealed with wax.

    Zhao Han said to Fu Geng: "Take the letter back and give it to your lord. They are all sensible people, there is no need to engage in such nonsense. Don't talk about being a brother, he respects me as an ancestor. When it's time to fight  Still have to fight."

    "Obey!" Fu Geng took it.

    Zhao Han asked: "How does Li Zicheng govern in Shanxi?"

    Fu Geng replied: "When I left Taiyuan, I was preparing to start a course to obtain a scholar. It was nothing more than lightly paying taxes and encouraging farming and mulberry. This year, the weather in Shanxi is good, and it is just time to recruit refugees for reclamation."

    "It's good to be able to take care of people's livelihood." Zhao Han nodded in approval.

    As for the military aspect, Zhao Han was too lazy to ask.

    Li Zicheng's occupation of Shanshan was too smooth, and many of the subordinate generals were still like small warlords, which took a lot of time to clean up.

    At least within this year, Li Zicheng will not make any further moves.

    Fu Geng also wrote a letter, requesting that it be forwarded to his younger brother Fu Shan.  His family was not bad, and although the Manchus forced him to hand in food, his family and property suffered no loss.

    Zhao Han continued to go south, and Fu Geng returned to Shanxi with the letter.

    Traveling to Yangzhou, Jiangsu's left and right political envoys brought officials at all levels to meet with them.

    Zhao Han didn't get off the boat, he just planned to stop.?Salt merchants treated workers harshly?  "

    Yu Shiqin replied: "There are trade unions in every salt factory, and there is a salt workers' federation in every county. Moreover, there are more and more salt factories, and the factory owners are desperately recruiting workers. How dare they easily offend the salt workers?  Stopping production for a few days is unbearable loss."

    "That's good." Zhao Han nodded.

    ?We must also remain vigilant against trade unions, not to give too much power, and to formulate laws to suppress them.  Otherwise, a new class of union leaders would form, threatening to extort factory owners from above and using workers as tools for profit.

    The next day, Zhao Han's royal fleet set off.

    A large number of people from Yangzhou City and its vicinity rushed to both sides of the canal after hearing the news.  When the fleet passed by, the former military households, Caomin, tenant farmers, domestic slaves knelt and kowtowed one after another, and the black and white people knelt everywhere on both sides of the canal.

    "His Majesty the Emperor, long live long live long live!"

    This is the real Shan Hu Long live, no one organized series, all from the heart.

 Body 432【The treatment of the Kong family】

    When Zhao Han returned to Nanjing, all the front-line troops, the commanders, military judges, and mission officers, jointly formulated the merit-reporting documents and finally sent them all.

    After discussion by the Ministry of War, the resolution is as follows——

    Zhang Tieniu's department should be credited with annihilating the Duoduo army and settling the battle situation in Shandong.

    ? Invaded Liaodong, broke through several cities, attacked outside Shenyang City, and plundered tens of thousands of people from the Tartars' lair. The contribution of Hu Dinggui's department ranks second.

    ?The Huang Yao tribe who captured most of Sichuan and captured the puppet emperor can be said to be the third in terms of military merit.

    When Zhao Han proclaimed himself emperor, he didn't offer a lot of rewards, but now he has to show it anyway.

    Zhang Tieniu was granted the title of Marquis of Yizhou, Hu Dinggui was granted the title of Marquis of Haizhou, Fei Ruhe was granted the title of Marquis of Jining, and Huang Yao was granted the title of Marquis of Chengdu. All of them used the places where they fought and made meritorious service as titles for rewarding titles.

    ? For the division commanders of the other divisions, all those who have served as division commanders for more than two years are all conferred titles, and all those who have served as division commanders for less than two years have been conferred titles.

    These titles are all hereditary titles.

    In addition, Fei Ruhe, Zhang Tieniu, Hu Dinggui, and Huang Yao each rewarded fifty acres of land.  Each member of his family owns land, and the upper limit is increased by 20 mu, subject to the above-mentioned land, and limited to ten people.

    ? Zhao Han established the upper limit of land production very early on, and each person can only have a maximum of 100 farmland, which is 500 mu when converted into farmland and farmland.

    Take Fei Ruhe as an example. If his family has ten household registrations, the total land property limit is 1200 mu!

    At this time, the upper limit of land production is useless, but it will be useful in a few decades.

    Those who have done meritorious service can continue to be rewarded, and sooner or later there will be hundreds of thousands of acres in the family.  The government will relocate some farmers in the area as appropriate, and the land will be vacated for reward recipients.  The farmers who have been relocated must also be compensated, and they can get more land when they go to the north. At the same time, they will also donate farm cattle—normally, they will be loaned to farm cattle.

    Hehe, it's just that it's not easy to recruit tenants, because everyone in the countryside has land.

    ? During the busy farming season, farmers don’t have much spare time to cultivate other’s land besides planting their own fields.  At that time, no matter how much land you get, you have to discuss it with the tenants. Who would like to charge a higher rent?

    The contradiction between land and population will not appear until at least fifty years later, because the north needs a large number of people to immigrate there!

    Nowadays, whichever county has too high a population density, the government organizes people to migrate out.  Counties, towns, and villages have achieved that every family has land and everyone has land, and pure tenant farmers have completely disappeared from the south.

    The two provinces of Guangzhou and Fujian, the main places of immigration are Qiongzhou and Taiwan respectively.

    Criminals moved to the raw land to open up, and the good people moved to the cultivated land to cultivate.  The so-called Shudi refers to the land next to Shufan, where the aborigines have a high degree of Sinicization, and the climate and environment are not very bad.

    In the past few years, more than 100,000 people have moved to Qiongzhou Prefecture in the mainland of Guangdong, and the development of Hainan Island is getting higher and higher.

    As for Taiwan, the main place of immigration is the northern part of the island.  Zheng Zhilong moved tens of thousands of people there, and Zhao Han moved tens of thousands of people and thousands of bandits there.  There are very few Spaniards in chicken coops, and the next step is to immigrate to chicken coops.

    The Spaniards in Taiwan were not driven away by force, but Spain is shrinking its colonies.

    Portugal successfully became independent from Spain, coupled with the aggressiveness of the Netherlands, Spain was overwhelmed.  Historically, because Spain evacuated too many people, the chicken coop would be taken by the Netherlands in a few years.

    In addition to the commanders of each division being rewarded, the rest of the soldiers were also rewarded.

    Especially the soldiers who died in battle, including those who died of the plague, can receive a pension, and each will be given five acres of land.  Children enjoy extra points in examinations, and in the future, the children of martyrs will be given priority in the recruitment of officials.

    The surrendered generals and rebels who have done meritorious service are also rewarded with land, and can divide the land as usual, but these lands are all rewarded in Shandong and Henan.

    Two civil servants were also granted the title of Marquis, and Pang Chunlai was given the title of Marquis of Guangning because his hometown was in Guangningwei, Liaodong.  Li Banghua was granted the title of Marquis of Jishui, and he also took his hometown as the title.

    Xu Ying made great contributions to the arrangement and meticulous work, and was named Qian Shanbo.

    Fei Chun's efforts in raising and transporting grain and grass are also due to his hard work, Feng Guangxin Bo.

    In the entire Datong court, there is no duke for the time being, let alone a prince.  The world has not yet been unified, and the rewards will be gradually raised, how will the rewards be rewarded after reaching the top at one time?

    The Datong military system, taking advantage of this reward, also refined the system again.

    Soldiers are divided into three grades: lower pawns, mid-pawns, and top pawns.

    Generals are divided into four grades, and each grade is also divided into upper, middle and lower grades: sergeant, lieutenant, colonel, and general.

    These are all military ranks, and future salaries will also be received according to the rank of the military rank.

    All ordinary soldiers who died this time will be givenThey did not dare to arrest the Kong family.

    In this case, why should the emperor be alarmed if only a few people died?

    Zhao Han laughed suddenly: "Confucius, Confucius and Mencius, the descendants of Confucius are like this, and the descendants of Mencius are the same, so we should follow this method. The descendants of Mencius will also be severely investigated and dealt with!"

    Well, it doesn't matter if you don't intercede, the three pleaded with the Kong family and brought the Meng family in.

    Zhao Han continued: "The title of Lord Yansheng will be retained, and the chief sect of Nankong will immediately move to Qufu to succeed Lord Yansheng. From now on, only one hundred acres of land can be reserved for the Confucian Temple in Qufu. Duke Yansheng  All the privileges of the Confucian family are abolished, and they can only receive salaries according to their grades. The Confucian family must pay for sacrifices to the Confucian Temple and several major academies.  The family is not allowed to enforce the family law, and must be handed over to the court for trial. If you dare to use the family law privately, you will be punished as treason! ?

    Shandong, Qufu.

    Supported by his son, Kong Yinzhi leaned on his crutches and roared, "Stop it, that's the Confucian temple offering sacrifices to the fields!"

    ?No one paid any attention to it, and the cadres of the household department of the county government led the peasant association to continue measuring the land.

    There are a large number of people standing nearby, most of whom are surnamed Kong.  Either the surname was given by the Kong family, or the bottom of the Kong family, they all came to watch the fun.

    After a while, thousands of people with sticks came.

    This is the elder of each clan of the Kong family in Qufu. He brought his own slaves and incited the clansmen to stop Zhang Tian.

    "Go back and tell the county magistrate!" The household officer shouted.

    The work of Qingtian stopped until Mao Qiling, the magistrate of the county, came to the scene, and the county magistrate Yan Yingyuan rushed over after hearing the news.  In addition, Ma Jinzhong, who was suppressing bandits nearby, also rushed there with a thousand young men.

    Mao Qiling asked: "Why did the old man prevent the land from being measured?"

    Kong Yinzhi said: "This is the sacrifice field of the Confucius Temple. How can it be divided?"

    Mao Qiling said: "Even if there are any objections, the old man should come to the county government to report to the officials. Why do you bring people to obstruct the government from doing things?"

    "The old man begged to see the county lord, but the county lord has never been seen!" Kong Yinzhi said angrily.

    Mao Qiling suddenly realized: "Oh, I'm really sorry. I just arrived in the jurisdiction of the county, and I'm really busy with business, so I haven't had time to meet the old man."

    Kong Yinzhi cupped his hands and said: "Please take back the order of the county, and keep the Confucian temple to worship the fields."

    Mao Qiling sighed: "Old man, this is really not up to the county to decide. The division of households and fields is a policy formulated by His Majesty."

    Kong Yinzhi said: "Shandong has experienced wars, natural disasters, and plagues. There are few people and a lot of land, and there are no one to cultivate the land everywhere. Even if the county lords want to divide the fields and settle down, they can also divide those unowned fields. Why do we have to divide them?"  Go to the Confucian Temple to sacrifice to the fields!"

    Mao Qiling explained: "Old man, the Zhang family in Longhu Mountain has also divided their fields, and the Datong court can't treat one more favorably than another."

    "The Zhang family in Longhushan, Taoist ears, how can they be compared with the descendants of Confucian saints?" Kong Yinzhi said disdainfully.

    Mao Qiling smiled and said: "The old man's words are wrong. The Zhang family in Longhushan and the Confucian family in Qufu are all rich and powerful families that have been passed down from generation to generation. Why do we have to compete?" Mao Qiling said to the officials, "  Dividing one is a share, and dividing two is also a share, quickly measure and divide the Confucian temple sacrifice field!"

    "Please revoke the order of the county lord, and the old man will go to Nanjing to meet His Majesty in person?" Kong Yinzhi became tough, and the family elders also led their clansmen to surround the officials and members of the peasant association.

    Mao Qiling's face suddenly turned ugly: "Is the old gentleman trying to resist His Majesty's decree?"

    Kong Yinzhi didn't want to completely freeze up, so he cupped his hands and said, "Please suspend the division of the land, and everything will be discussed after the old man goes to Nanjing."

    Mao Qiling ignored this person, turned around and said to Ma Jinzhong: "The Confucian family violently resisted the law, violated the epidemic prevention order, and induced the people to gather together. General Ma, the county government is short of manpower, please arrest all violators. If there is any resistance  Those who are involved will be killed on the spot!"

    Kong Yinzhi was furious: "Shuzi dare you!"

    Mao Qiling shouted: "Do it!"

    What kind of person is Mao Qiling?

    The people who tied the grass put Zhu Xi's name on it, beat it while reading, and scolded Zhu Xi for misleading his children.

    This guy has the merit of seizing the city and donating, but now he is only the magistrate of the county, and he came to Shandong, the hardest-hit area of ??the epidemic, to be the magistrate of the county.  He offended the emperor, Zhao Han, and the chief officials at all levels, and he was afraid of you, the Ming Dynasty's Yan Shenggong?

    Ma Jinzhong was born as a bandit in the Northwest, and he has no feeling for Confucius.

    One piece of paper and one weapon, the two don't hesitate.

    Ma Jinzhong laughed and shouted: "Arrest people, all those who didn't wear masks were arrested, and those who led the trouble were also arrested. Who dares to resist and be killed on the spot!"

    Kong Xingxie was a little scared, and pulled his father back.

    However, Kong Yinzhi pushed Kong Xingxie away and stood up to stop the soldiers.  He thought that no one would dare to touch him, and he scolded: "I see who dares to do it!"

    "Clang!"

    Ma Jinzhong drew his sword and walked towards Kong Yinzhi.

    Kong Yinzhi backed away in fright. He was not afraid of scholars, but he was afraid of Ma Jinzhong, a warrior.

    In case the warrior didn't read the books of sages and slashed like this, wouldn't he die in vain?

    "Children of the Confucian family, don't stand by and watch!"

    An old guy holding a dragon head and cane began to incite the tribe: "How can outsiders take away the ancestor's sacrificial field? Your Majesty must be deceived by traitors. We will work together to protect the sacrificial field until Yan Shenggong returns from Nanjing."  Say it again!"

    The dragon head cane was bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is the symbol of the patriarch of the Kong family in Qufu.

    The ruler of the Kong family in Qufu had aCan I change my surname?  I want to change back to my ancestor's last name!  "

    "Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooows!"

    ""

    Mao Qiling turned around and asked Yan Yingyuan: "Do you know how to be an official in the Datong court?"

    Yan Yingyuan was dumbfounded: "I learned it."

    In the county seat where thousands of people were stationed, Yan Yingyuan dared to seize the city alone, but he did not dare to swing a knife at the Kong family.  Because of his great achievements, he was directly promoted to the county magistrate, and now he is learning how to govern the place.

    Mao Qiling's actions obviously misled Yan Yingyuan.

    As long as Mao Qiling is not punished this time, Yan Yingyuan will definitely follow suit, and the Datong court will have another "cool official" in the future.

    Mao Qiling said to the missionaries and the leaders of the peasant association: "Call the people together for a public trial tomorrow. Remember, during the public trial, the people should be kept far away, and those who don't wear masks are not allowed to participate!"

    "yes!"

    Everyone agreed in unison.

    Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi was paralyzed on the ground at this moment, his crotch was wet and exuded a foul smell.

    "well!"

    Kong Wenjian stood on the sidelines and sighed from afar. He was a Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi.  He worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Rites and as a deputy envoy of Hexi Road. Ding You went home from the funeral and never went out of office again.

    He has long been disappointed with the Ming court, so he has refused to be an official in recent years.

    Historically, Kong Yinzhi surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and supported Dorgon's hair-shaving order.  Kong Wenjian couldn't stop it, so he could only go to Shu Dorgon, asking for permission for Kong's family not to shave their hair, and Kong's descendants could choose their hairstyle freely.

    Ever since, Kong Wenjiao was deposed from his official position in Qing Dynasty, and died of depression after returning home. He did not shave his hair or keep his braids until he died.  (

 Text 434【On Death】

    Before any public trial, "The White-haired Girl" must be staged.

    The drama version, only in the case of insufficient manpower, allows missionaries to quickly learn this drama.

    If there are enough people, it will be a big show, that is, the opera version of "The White-haired Girl".

    In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Yuan Zaju was popular all over the country, and it was commonly known as Beiqu.

    In the mid-Ming Dynasty, Nanqu tunes counterattacked, and Yiyang tunes, Qingyang tunes, Huizhou tunes, Taiping tunes, and Kun tunes became popular rapidly.

    After the reform of standard pronunciation, Kunqiang is known as "official tune", and all the pronunciation is in Mandarin.  The rest of the dramas quickly followed up, and they also adopted Mandarin to speak, so the famous actors must be proficient in Mandarin.

    At the end of Ming Dynasty, Nanqu ruled the whole country, and it was divided into southern tune and northern tune.

    Northern accents are dominated by Xiansuo tune and Bangzi tune.  Among them, the daughter's tune, girl's tune and Luoluo tune in Shandong and Henan provinces belong to Xiansuo tune.  Qin opera has also developed and grown, and is classified as a branch of Bangzi opera.

    The southern accents are mainly Kunqiang and Gaoqiang.  Among them, the high tune is a mixture of Yiyang tune, Qingyang tune and many other southern tunes.

    The South Tune and North Tune, thus formed, is the ancestor of hundreds of local operas in China in later generations.

    Shandong does not need too many performances, because the landlords and gentry can't make it through.  The land distribution will not be obstructed by the landlords. There are too many unowned lands. After the people get the land, even if the landlords have fields at home, how many farmers are willing to cultivate them?

    To tell the truth, there are tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in Shandong, and they can only be left unused for the next year or two.

    The Kong family is a different kind!

    Heteromorphs naturally need to be taken care of, and the missionaries sent to Qufu, everyone can sing a big show.

    At this time they are singing in a high tone, and the people in Shandong can understand it.

    A "White-haired Girl" has not yet finished, and the people watching the show are already boiling.  There are many kinds of happiness, but sadness is always the same. The experience of the white-haired girl can also lead to the fame of the people of Qufu. The master Kong here is countless Huang Shiren.

    Some people cried and wailed bitterly, while others cursed angrily.

    "Take the evil slave Kong Lin!"

    The public trial conference has already had a routine.

    To deal with local nobles, the gentry cannot be tried directly.  Because some gentry disguised themselves very well, and even had a good reputation, and all evil deeds were done by domestic slaves.

    There must be a public trial of the evil slaves first, and then the evil slaves will bite out the gentry.

    In the end, it will inevitably become a dog-eat-dog situation. The gentry and the evil slaves blame each other, completely igniting the anger of the people.

    The domestic slave named Kong Lin was dragged to the high platform of the public trial, his legs were weak and he knelt down.

    The mission officer held up a tin trumpet, pointed at this person and said: "Kong Lin's surname is Du, and he was originally a popi in Dongchang. A few years ago, the White Lotus Sect captured Qufu, and many of the Kong family fled. This Kong Lin took refuge in Dongchang."  After killing Kong Yinmao, the Bailian Cult bandits perished, and Kong Lin followed Kong Yinmao back to Qufu Please come to the stage to express your grievances!"

    A young man was brought up, and immediately knelt down to the missionary officer: "Kong Zhenxiang, a grassroots citizen, pays his respects to the official, and asks the official to make decisions for the grassroots!"

    The missionary officer said: "Get up quickly, Your Majesty has an order that the people are not allowed to kneel before the officials!"

    Kong Zhenxiang thanked him and stood up, pointed to Kong Lin and said, "That's the guy! Caomin was originally the landlord of Qufu, but the Bailian bandits came, and Caomin's father and elder brother were all in danger.  Buried a thousand taels of silver. When the grassroots returned home to use it, they were followed by this guy. I don’t know where to get an IOU, and I borrowed silver from him in Dongchang. Poor God, when the grassroots fled, they only went to  After leaving Dong'a, I have never been to Dongchang at all, and I have never met this person, so how can I borrow his money?"

    The missionary officer asked: "What happened next?"

    Kong Zhenxiang said: "At that time, Caomin was only fifteen years old, and he was young, so he quarreled with him and beat him with a stick. This guy pretended to have his leg broken, and conspired with Kong Xinglu to bring the lawsuit to the clan ju.  They listened and believed, sentenced me to repay the debt, and made me pay ten taels of medicine. Caomin’s mother was not willing to be wronged, and hanged herself to prove her innocence, but this man beat her down and said that Caomin’s mother committed suicide in fear of crime!"

    The missionary officer asked again: "Give him the silver?"

    Kong Zhenxiang had already said that his eyes were red: "This guy gathered more than ten people and snatched the money at night. The grass people went to the clan office to report to the official, but the clan office urged me to pay back the debt. The farmland in the grass people's house is all by the canal.  Shangtian was used to repay debts, and it all fell into the hands of Kong Yinmao, Kong Xinglu and his son!"

    Why is it that after the war and famine, Shandong has fewer people and more land, and there are still people who are deliberately plotting to seize land?

    Due to the continuous severe drought, the land far from the water source was abandoned by the landlords one after another.  Those with power and power bullied others by taking advantage of their power and set their sights on the upper fields that could be irrigated!

    That is Kong Lin??, don't kill me, please, don't kill me!  I have never killed anyone, and I even opened a warehouse to release food, and they did all the bad things um help help"

    Yan Yingyuan looked at the corpses all over the ground, and couldn't help asking Mao Qiling: "The county lord, after killing so many people from the Kong family in Qufu, how will we face the world's scholars in the future? The reputation of a king may not be tolerated by scholars."

    Mao Qiling said with a smile: "Which forest is the Confucianism? I, Mao, was thirteen years old when I was selected as a scholar, and I won the first place in Hangzhou Mansion. Confucian classics, not to say that I am proficient in them all, but I have also read them roughly. I read Confucian classics,  I only see the word benevolence and righteousness. When I came to Qufu, I couldn’t see benevolence and righteousness. This is a place where filth is hidden! For the sake of Confucius, I will kill these people! As for what those rotten scholars said, fuck me Mao  Shit. The last time I angered His Majesty with my words, His Majesty still let me be an official, so I know what to do. The monarch and his ministers are suitable, and there is such a monarch as there are ministers!"

    "The county lord has seen His Majesty? What kind of person is Your Majesty?" Yan Yingyuan asked curiously.

    Mao Qiling laughed and said, "You are a gentleman. It is not benevolence, but the people. When you are an official in the Datong court, you should know that the people are the first. If you govern the people happily, the emperor will be happy. You understand what I mean."  ?"

    Yan Yingyuan nodded: "Understood."

    Mao Qiling said: "I am the county magistrate, and you are the magistrate. If we want to manage Qufu well, we have to work together. Remember, remember, everything is based on the people."

    The two of them killed Yan Shenggong and killed more than a hundred members of the Kong family. No matter what the purpose was, they would definitely become famous all over the world.

    It's just that it's hard to say what kind of reputation it is.

    ?

 Text 435【Snatch when there is no food】

    Nanjing.

    Kong Zhenyun, the Southern Zong who was conferred the title of Duke Yansheng by Zhao Han, came to Nanjing to meet the emperor before he went to Shandong to be proclaimed.

    Kong Zhenyun also made meritorious service. When the Datong Army attacked Zhejiang, he persuaded several counties to surrender with the army.

    At this moment, Duan Duan was standing upright, listening to Zhao Han's admonition.

    "I went to Qufu, so I can cooperate with the government to restore the people's livelihood in Qufu," Zhao Han said to Kong Zhenyun. "Shandong has suffered from locust drought, military disaster, and plague one after another. This year, the Yellow River burst its embankment and flooded the southwestern border of Shandong. The people are in dire straits, and the dead  Countless, you don't want to add chaos to the officials and the people. Do you know?"

    Kong Zhenyun hurriedly bowed: "I would like to follow your Majesty's instruction!"

    Zhao Han waved his hand and said, "Go."

    Kong Zhenyun bowed and stepped back, cautious in his words and deeds.

    ?The Datong Army had won in Shandong and Henan, and Zhao Han had already settled down in the world. In Kong Zhenyun's view, he was even more majestic, and there was something imperceptibly pressing on him.

    After this person left, Zhao Han continued to review the memorial.

    After half an hour of processing, Zhao Han stopped suddenly, thought carefully for a moment, and Zhu commented: "Yes. Leave it to the Ministry of Rites to handle it."

    However, the deans of the five major medical schools jointly signed a petition to set up a medical center in Qintianjian.

    In the Ming Dynasty, there was a imperial hospital, but Zhao Han did not set it up. He usually consulted famous doctors of Jinling Medical College when he was sick.

    Although the social status of the doctors under Zhao Han has improved, there is no institution similar to Tai Hospital.  In the past two years, he has made great achievements in preventing and controlling the plague, so he became bolder and took the initiative to ask the emperor to set up a medical center.

    Doctors with official status are called "doctors with crowns and belts" in Ming Dynasty, and everyone who practices medicine wants to wear crowns and belts.

    All the way to reviewing the memorial about Taiwan, Zhao Han immediately said: "Bring those little Francophones over here!"

    Not long after, several Spaniards were brought in front of Zhao Han by the female officer, accompanied by a Chinese interpreter.

    The leader immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Jose, the Spanish envoy, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Datong, China."

    The officials and people under Zhao Han's own rule did not need to kneel to the emperor.  But envoys from other countries or forces, including Fu Geng sent by Li Zicheng, would kneel whenever they liked, and Zhao Han did not stop them.

    Zhao Han asked, "Did the Dutch go north?"

    Jose said: "Great lord, those damned Dutchmen, sent troops to raid our stronghold, fortunately they were repulsed by the heroic Chinese soldiers. But the Dutch retreated to Santo Domingo, and started to build a castle there. Request Your Majesty  , immediately send troops to expel them, otherwise it will not be so easy for the Dutch to fight after the castle is built."

    In addition to chicken coops, Spain also used Tamsui as a colonial base in Taiwan.  They built a wooden fence by the river as a city wall, and built an earthen fortress in the city, stationed fifty soldiers, and named Danshui "Santo Domingo".

    A few years ago, Taiwanese natives attacked Santo Domingo repeatedly, beating the Spaniards away and destroying the Spanish castle.

    Now the Netherlands is suddenly going north, planning to build a castle in Tamsui, which is under the jurisdiction of Taipei County!

    This time not only the Spaniards asked Zhao Han to send troops, but even Sun Chuanting, the magistrate of Taipei, was asking for instructions on whether to start a war to drive the Dutch away.

    The reason why Sun Chuanting didn't do it directly was because he knew that Zhao Han was buying war horses through the Netherlands.  In case of a fight with the Dutch, leading to the cessation of the trade in war horses, it would be a big conspiracy if you can't bear it.

    The problem is that the Netherlands only sent a mission before, trying everything possible to please the Chinese emperor.  Why did he suddenly come to touch the tiger's butt again?

    Zhao Han couldn't figure it out, and couldn't figure it out.

    Zhao Han said to Jose: "Go back and tell the Governor of the Philippines that Spain must give up its claimed occupation of chicken coops. The entire island of Taiwan is China's land. Chicken coops, your city of San Salvador, must be handed over to Datong officials for management  I allow the Spaniards to stay in the coop, allow you to keep a church, and allow you to open a trading post. However, you must abide by the laws of the Datong court!"

    "Of course, this is the original intention of the Governor." Jose immediately accepted.

    In other words, only by handing over the chicken coops to China can Spain continue to stay and do business, otherwise they will not be able to withstand the Dutch attack at all.

    Even if Zhao Han didn't bring it up, the Spaniards would ask China to take over the chicken coop.

    Since Spain is so sensible, Zhao Han has to express his attitude. He said with a smile: "I have two gifts, one for the King of Spain and one for the Governor of the Philippines. I hope the friendship between the two countries will last forever."

    "Thank you, His Majesty the Great Emperor of China Datong!" Jose hurriedly thanked him.

    As for gifts, give porcelain.

    &nbsIt was successfully won.  Zhao Han only occupied a small half of Shuntian Mansion, and pushed northward to Bazhou and Tianjin.

    Both sides agreed to ignore Yongping Mansion, because it was next to Shanhaiguan—it was not worthwhile to garrison heavily, and it would be very laborious to transport grain and grass.

    However, after the Manchu Qing returned to Liaodong, due to food shortages, they did not choose to cultivate their health and rest, but immediately launched a war!

    Internally, the Manchu Qing forced the barbarian Jurchen to give food.  If they don't hand over enough food in accordance with the regulations, they will easily slaughter a certain tribe and rob them of food, livestock and women.

    Externally, attack North Korea to the south and plunder Khalkha Mongolia to the north.

    The king of North Korea was going crazy. He had already surrendered to the Manchus, and even the king's personal firecrackers were handed over to the Manchus to take them out to fight casually.  As a result, Nima was also looted, and northern North Korea was almost robbed, and it also brought plague to North Korea.

    In northern North Korea, ten rooms are empty, and famine and plague are spreading rapidly.

    On the Mongolian side of Khalkha, the Chechen Khan tribe closest to the Manchu Qing also paid tribute to the Manchu Qing long ago.

    As a result, more than 20,000 Manchu cavalry and Mongolian cavalry suddenly sent troops to attack the Chechen Khan.

    The Chechen Khan has 30,000 cavalry, but they live scattered on the grasslands and graze, so there is no time to gather.  He was killed all the way to the Khan Court by the Manchu cavalry, Chechen Khan Shuo Lei died in battle, and his son Babu was supported by the Manchu Dynasty as the puppet Khan.

    Shuo Lei died unjustly, this guy has been plotting to backstab Man Qing.

    Historically, in another four years, Shuo Lei instigated the Horqin tribe to rebel, and he himself went out to help.  As a result, he was defeated by the Qing Dynasty, Shuo Lei died tragically, and the Chechen Khan continued to pay tribute.

    Man Qing, who were about to run out of food, quickly obtained sufficient food by virtue of internal and external wars.

    It's just that North Korea was nearly collapsed, and the Chechen Khan and Mongolia have never recovered from it. The Manchu Qing did not massacre the Chechen Khan, but they robbed their cattle and sheep. I don't know how many people will starve to death this winter.

    Datong, Dashun, and Daqing are short of food.

    Seemingly the worst Manchu Qing Dynasty, it is the fastest food recovery.

 Body 436【Sea fish and kelp】

    The Manchu Qing robbed half of North Korea, which made Hu Dinggui very anxious.

    ?The 11th Division is stationed in Gaizhou and Jinzhou, and there are more than 100,000 people under the rule. All food is purchased at high prices in North Korea.

    North Korea has no food, which means that the 11th Division has no food.

    After receiving the memorial from the civil and military officials in Liaodong, Zhao Han, who was already short of food, had no choice but to tighten his belt and move around to send boats to send it.

    Fortunately, in spring, more than 100,000 people in the three cities of Liaodong had all planted wheat.  After another month, we will be able to harvest grain, but we must beware of Manchu looting!

    Not only Gaizhou, but also Jinzhou and Fuzhou.

    Because there are still some Jurchen tribes living in the mountains of the Liaodong Peninsula, and there are also Eight Manchurian Banners in Phoenix City.  The troops of the Manchu Qing could travel across mountains and ridges to plunder villages during the wheat harvest season.

    It is not possible that it will come, but it will definitely come.

    Because of the lack of food, they all went to fight Mongolia. How could it be possible not to grab the food under the skin?

    There are about 100,000 troops left in the Eight Banners Army, and Hu Dinggui's 10,000 people will definitely be unable to defend, and may even be besieged by heavy troops.

    Zhao Han immediately ordered the deployment of troops. Li Zheng's third division, Xiao Zongxian's fourth division, and Lu Xiangsheng's 5,000 cavalry all headed for the Liaodong Peninsula by boat.

    Hu Dinggui was stationed in Gaizhou, Li Zheng was stationed in Jinzhou, and Xiao Zongxian was stationed in Fuzhou.  Lu Xiangsheng was also stationed in Fuzhou, and he was in the middle to support the friendly forces in the north and south at any time.

    Fei Ruhe moved to Tianjin, and Zhang Tieniu moved to Dengzhou. At the critical moment, immediately take a boat to Liaodong to fight!

    Zhoushan waters.

    Hong Xu, deputy commander of the Shanghai Navy in Datong, once ranked among the "Eighteen Zhi", but now he has become a professional fisherman.

    In order to fish in the Zhoushan Fishing Ground, the Shanghai Navy even expanded its army and recruited Danhu fishermen in Zhoushan as sailors. These people know the situation of the Zhoushan Fishing Ground best.

    On the deck of the ship, Hong Xu smoked Nangan tobacco with a pipe in his mouth.

    The large and small warships under his command are using trawling nets to catch fish.

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, marine fishing technology had matured, and the large nets were mainly divided into six categories: gill nets, seine nets, trawl nets, stretch nets, construction nets, and insertion nets.

    In the Saxon era, the British used gillnets to catch herring. This technique is very common in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong.

    Trawling technology, which can catch 400 tons of fish in one net, is also widely used in China, but the trawl net is relatively small.

    This is because of the sea ban and Japanese pirates. It is not only risky to sail a huge boat to sea, but also illegal and criminal.  Therefore, merchants who own big boats are all smuggling. Who wants to risk their lives fishing?

    In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, the largest fishing boats in the coastal areas carried only three to four tons of cargo.

    In the future and food shortages, as early as the beginning of last year, Zhao Han promulgated a policy to encourage marine fishing.

    First, cancel the fishing salt tax.

    Second, you can set up a marine fishing business company, directly connect with the salt farm, bypass the salt seller, and buy salt from the salt farm at a low price.

    Both the Ming and Qing Dynasties were taught by fishing and salt, because of the ancient fishing season, a large number of saltwater fish and freshwater fish were caught.  It cannot be sold out in a short period of time. Due to storage technology, it must be pickled with salt.

    However, lawbreakers like to take advantage of loopholes, calling it selling salted fish, but actually selling private salt.

    A five catty fish can hang half a catty of salt on it!

    Therefore, the imperial court decided to collect the fishing salt class, and limited the supply of salt used for salting fish.  This in turn allowed the dignitaries, officials, and gentry to take advantage of the loopholes and take the opportunity to control fishermen and fisheries, which made it difficult for the fishing industry to develop in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

    These policies to encourage fishing were suggested by Wu Yingji.

    Wu Yingji has been promoted to Jiangsu Youbu Political Envoy because of his repeated speeches and meritorious deeds.

    As soon as the policy came out, merchants and fishermen really responded, and even some maritime merchants got involved.  The tonnage of fishing boats is getting bigger and bigger, and the fishing nets are getting bigger and bigger, which has alleviated the food crisis to a certain extent.

    No matter how big a private fishing boat is, it is no bigger than a naval warship!

    Half of the warships under Zhao Han's command are now fishing in the coastal fishing grounds.

    "Go back!"

    More than 20 naval warships, in groups of two and two, dragged the big net to Haiyan County.  Sea salt is naturally produced in Haiyan County, and it is dragged and marinated on the spot, which is a perfect match with the Zhoushan fishing ground.

    Trawling is usually carried directly to the shore. As for how much you catch, you can only know after you go ashore. It is full of surprises like opening a blind box.

    A large number of nearby people were hired to carry, sort, and marinate fish.

    The elderly, young and strong, and women are all beaming. This kind of work is charged on a piece-by-piece basis.  During the fishing season, you don’t have to worry about not having a job, but you can’t finish your work every day, and you can’t wait to go homebsp; The eldest son, Gun'er, was named Zhao Kuanghuan.

    The dragon and phoenix twins are about to turn three years old, and they are called Zhao Kuangtang and Zhao Hanjin respectively.

    The third son has just turned one year old, and his name is Zhao Kuangping.

    Do not make any list of chemical elements, as long as the full names are not exactly the same, there is no taboo in Zhao Han.

    After educating his son, Zhao Han glanced at one of the dishes and asked in surprise, "Hey, where did you get the kelp?"

    Pan Qimei replied: "The navy came back from Shandong, and brought back some kelp by the way, and entrusted someone to send it to Nanjing as a tribute. Those who gave the money were considered purchases."

    Pan Qimei likes to cook and eat, and often goes to the imperial kitchen to do it herself.

    Anyway, she hasn't moved into the palace yet, so whatever she does, Liu Rushi was still working in the Imperial Academy before she got pregnant.

    Zhao Han took a mouthful of kelp, and it was the familiar taste. He decided to let the agronomy hall try artificial cultivation.

    During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the ancients ate kelp, which is a kind of seaweed food. It belongs to the same family as kelp, but it is classified into a different genus.

    It can be understood that kombu is the cousin of kelp.

    Today's kelp grows in Korea and Japan.  However, it is also found on the reefs off the coast of Shandong. The "Compendium of Materia Medica" specifically lists the place of origin, and also introduces the difference between kelp and kombu.

    Gun'er was tired of eating large yellow croakers, and when he saw a new dish, he picked up seaweed again and again and ate it with gusto.

    If Gun'er becomes the emperor, kelp must be all the rage.

    It works well.

 Text 437 [Heroes gather in Taiwan]

    ? In the first year of the Republic of China in Datong, the Yellow Emperor calendar was 4339.

    The end of June.

    Taking advantage of the abundant summer grain harvest in the Chengdu Plain, Huang Yao, Qin Liangyu, Yang Zhan, and Gan Liangchen jointly sent 30,000 troops to attack Zunyi Mansion.

    ?Fan Kuang, a Jinshi in Fushun, Sichuan Province, and former deputy envoy of Henan Province in the Ming Dynasty, proposed to use the strategy of alienation, which caused the two warlord leaders in Zunyi Prefecture to fight among themselves.

    Wu Shangxian, the leader of the Han people, was resolutely unwilling to surrender because of his extremely bad relationship with Yang Zhan.  On the contrary, Long Zhengguo, the leader of the local barbarians, hoped to be able to belong to the Datong court, and the condition he offered was to be a small chieftain.

    Fan Kuang went to talk about the surrender in person. He didn't agree immediately, but he didn't refuse either. Anyway, his words were ambiguous.

    The scholars were too treacherous, and Long Zhengguo obviously believed them.

    Before Huang Yao arrived with the army, Long Zhengguo invited Wu Shangxian to drink. The excuse was to discuss important matters together, but in fact he wanted to lure Wu Shangxian to death.

    Wu Shangxian was very vigilant and refused to go to the banquet because he said he was sick, so he only sent counselors there.

    Long Zhengguo killed his counselors and raised troops to make a surprise attack.

    Unexpectedly, Wu Shangxian had already prepared to ambush heavy soldiers in the mountain passage, and killed Long Zhengguo in one fell swoop.

    Long Zhengguo's son, Long Chief Li, led the remnants to join Huang Yao.  He didn't even want to be a chieftain anymore, Long Yili only wanted to avenge his father, and by the way, he became a small official in the Datong court, willingly becoming a leader.

    In mid-July, the Datong Army captured Zunyi Fucheng, and Wu Shangxian committed suicide after breaking the city.

    ?After learning that Wu Shangxian was defeated and died in the army, the small warlords of Long'an Mansion and Baoning Mansion volunteered to join the Datong court.

    So far in Sichuan, only Songpanwei, Youyang Xuanfu Division, Lizhou Appeasement Division, Sichuan Xingdu Division, and Tianquan Liufan Recruitment Division are still undecided.

    The jurisdiction of Songpanwei is probably the Aba Prefecture of later generations.

    The administrative office of Tianquan Liufan Zhaosi is in Luding County in later generations.

    As for the Lizhou appeasement department, it is approximately equal to Hanyuan County in later generations.

    Anyway, these places are full of chieftains, big and small, including Tujia, Yi, Tibetan, Qiang and so on.

    Local civil and military officials in Sichuan, all those who have made meritorious service, all study Datong Theory in Chengdu, and they will be reappointed after they are politically qualified.

    At the same time, the armies of Qin Liangyu, Yang Zhan, Gan Liangchen and others each retained 3,000 soldiers, and selected another 1,000 soldiers from Sichuan farmers.

    Half of the 10,000 Sichuan soldiers were divided into Huang Yao's Ninth Division.  The remaining half was newly reorganized into the 12th Division of the Datong Army. Officers were transferred from the Ninth Division for training, and 5,000 soldiers from the Ninth Division were transferred for mixed formation.

    In this way, Sichuan has two divisions, but it must be trained for more than a year to restore its original combat effectiveness.

    And those newly formed troops have to wait for the old troops to replace their flintlock guns and equip them with the replaced matchlock guns.

    Gan Liangchen is relatively old, he was born in Wuju, has read the Four Books and Five Classics, and is good at governing the people.  He didn't want to lead troops to fight anymore, so he voluntarily asked to be converted to a civil servant. This request was approved by Zhao Han, and after he passed the political qualifications, he became a county magistrate in Sichuan.

    Qin Liangyu also hoped to be disarmed and return to the field. Anyway, his son, brother, nephew, and grandson were all in the army.

    ? Zhao Han agreed that Qin Liangyu would retire and return to his hometown, and was awarded the title of the second-rank Shangguard (Wu Xun) and the second-rank Dragon and Tiger General (Wu San).

    Qin Liangyu was very happy about this, because the title given to her by Chongzhen was only the second-rank wife

    Direction to Guangxi.

    The division commander Liu Xinyu and the mission officer Ding Jiasheng successively captured Xunzhou Prefecture, Guilin Prefecture and Liuzhou Prefecture, and half of Nanning Prefecture had been captured.

    There are no big warlords in these places.

    The main resistance force is the indigenous leaders of various ethnic groups.

    As for the power of the Han people's guards, it was already dead in the mid-Ming Dynasty, and it was necessary to rely on Guangxi's soldiers to suppress rebellions in peacetime.

    The terrain in Guangxi is rugged and difficult, and the Tenth Division lacks military supplies, so it can only nibble away step by step.  Now it has eroded nearly two-thirds of Guangxi, and the grassroots rule is extremely strong, just like Zhao Han's expansion in Jiangxi at the beginning, the establishment of households, the division of land, and the governance of the people are all progressing steadily.

    On the other side of Yunnan, after Mu Tianbo supported the puppet emperor, Wu Ding chieftain Wu Bikui launched a rebellion and captured Dayao, Dingyuan, Yao'an and other places one after another.

    Mu Tianbo mobilized various chieftains in Yunnan, and within a month, Wu Bikui's rebellion was put down.

    The civil and military officials in Yunnan were inexplicably excited. They felt that Mu Tianbo fought very well, encouraged the Yunnan soldiers to expand across the border, and shouted slogans to revitalize Daming.

    Anlongsi, Shanglinsi, Guishunzhou, Zhen'anfu, Dukangzhou, Xiangwuzhou, Sichengzhou in Guangxi all belong to Mu Tianbo.  Because of these sites,?The one who appeared was Shi Kefa, the new Taipei magistrate.

    In the past few years, Shi Kefa has been keeping his filial piety at home, and when the three-year Dingyou period expires, Emperor Chongzhen has already hanged himself.

    Therefore, he served in the Datong court without any psychological burden.

    Zhao Han also took great pains to get these people together in Taiwan, holding the roster of officials from all over the country for several days.

    "Your Majesty, we have already arranged for food, grass and civilian husbands." Shi Kefa cupped his hands to report, and then bowed to Zhang Huangyan, but he disdained to greet Ma Shiying, Zhang Xianzhong and others.

    Sun Chuanting laughed and said, "Let's go over there!"

    Sun Chuanting, Zhang Huangyan, Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, Zhang Xianzhong, and Sun Kewang led more than 400 peasants and soldiers to kill the Dutch colonists on the Danshui side.

    When Zheng Zhilong engaged in immigration, he gave priority to moving to the Penghu Islands, which was the pirate base he built.  Secondly, I immigrated to Chiayi County, because Penghu and Chiayi are both relatively close to the coast of Fujian.

    Currently, the government of Taiwan is located in Taipei, with four counties under its jurisdiction, namely: Taipei County, Zhuluo County (Chiayi, Penghu), Taoyuan County, and Keelung County.

    The Dutch built castles and forts in Danshui, and Han people also settled nearby, but they were all villages.

    The red-haired ghosts are really crazy, actually colonizing under the eyes of the Han people!

    All the people marched along the river, and the food was transported by small boats.  Halfway along the way, Han people came to report the details of the Dutch colonial strongholds.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Text 438 [Using a bull knife to kill chickens]

    The Dutch force in Tamsui is fifty men.

    Don't think it's too small, the total strength of the Netherlands on the entire island of Taiwan is only a few hundred.

    ? If the Netherlands really had thousands of troops, it would not have been beaten up by the natives of Tainan and kept huddled in the castle for several years, waiting for the plague to break out in Tainan before sending troops.

    Today's ruling situation in Tainan is that the Netherlands has built two castles, each with about 300 troops.

    Another two Han Chinese pirates fell out with Zheng Zhilong and took refuge with the Dutch based in Tainan.  There are 20,000 to 30,000 Han people there, and they have a cooperative relationship with the Netherlands, and they will deal with Taiwan's local immigrants together.

    In addition, more than 50 indigenous tribes, in fact, more than 50 villages, were conquered by the Netherlands due to the plague.  The mountain products of these tribes must be sold to the Dutch, and they must pay tribute to the Dutch colonists every year.

    At this moment, Ruyter is drinking.

    Rum is cheap, and it can replenish water when water is scarce during long-distance voyages.

    Fifty Dutch soldiers stood behind the fence boredly.  These were not purely Dutch soldiers, but were recruited from various colonies, including Spaniards, Portuguese, and Italians.

    In addition to soldiers, there are workers.

    The wooden fence surrounding the city has been repaired, and the native slaves brought from Tainan are transporting stones from the mountains.  The mining of stones and the construction of the castle were done by the Han people, and the Dutch fortification experts only provided the construction plan.

    These Han people also came from Tainan, and the Dutch treated them kindly, unlike the native slaves who whipped them at will.

    Ruyt looked at the sky and found that it was getting late. He said to the adjutant, "Cut off the work when the stones on the road arrive, and continue working tomorrow."

    Ruyter is not afraid of the Han people in Taiwan at all. In other words, the Netherlands, which is on the rise, has a kind of self-confidence that is defiant and self-confident all over the world.

    Moreover, there is a pit in the brain!

    Take, for example, Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan in history.  The Dutch only had a few hundred people standing firm, and there were not enough naval warships. They were besieged by Zheng Chenggong in the castle waiting to run out of food.

    Governor Batavia sent a large number of warships to rescue, but the army was only a few hundred, and it was simply to deliver food to Zheng Chenggong.  What's even more funny is that hundreds of reinforcements from the army split up half of them on foot, and ran to attack Macau on a warship.

    And this year, the Netherlands is not only doing trouble in Taiwan, but also planning to start a war with Jimmy.

    However, a coup d'état occurred in Jimmy, and the new king announced his conversion to the Green Church and ordered the expulsion of the Dutch businessmen.

    ?The Netherlands is so arrogant and domineering that Cambodian dignitaries, civilians, Malay merchants, and Han merchants, regardless of whether they believe in Buddhism, Taoism, Greenism, or Hinduism, all united to deal with the Netherlands.  Even Portugal joined in, helping the pagans squeeze out the Dutch forces!

    Holland is not only a sea coachman, but also a sea teddy, causing trouble everywhere.

    After dinner, Ruyt drank some more wine, then got into the tent and slept with an indigenous woman in his arms.

    In the middle of the night, there was a sudden cry of killing, and Ruyt quickly picked up the firecracker and saber.

    The Han people and natives who were in charge of building the castle ran away like headless chickens.  There are countless torches around, and it is unknown how many enemies have come. The Dutch soldiers barely assembled, but they couldn't fill the ammunition because of the black lights.

    What they are really good at is artillery, and the firepower is very brutal.

    Historically, Zheng Jing led 3,000 people to attack chicken coops, and the Dutch bastion was equipped with 24 artillery pieces.  Only more than 200 Dutch soldiers defeated 3,000 Zheng's army. Later, Zheng's army increased to 6,000, and they were also driven back to the sea by the Dutch.

    But in this dark night, there are enemies in all directions, and the castle has not yet been built. Where should the artillery shoot?

    Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang rushed over with dozens of old thieves and quickly overturned the wooden fence.

    Zhang Huangyan was riding a rough horse. After the fence collapsed, he galloped in the dark while bending his bow and nodding his arrows.  Those Dutch soldiers were standing by the torches, reloading bombs in a panic by the light of the fire.

    Phew!

    Zhang Huangyan shot an arrow, which hit the Dutch soldier's chest.

    It's a pity that the enemy was sleeping with all his clothes on, wearing a cloth facemask in the middle of the night, the arrow was not fatal.

    Zhang Huangyan raised his knife and rode away. A well-trained enemy was the first to finish loading and raised the firecracker.

    "boom!"

    Zhang Huangyan swung his knife and pulled it out, and the firecracker was fired towards the sky.

    Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang also cut down an enemy each.  Due to their poor equipment, dozens of old thieves simply rushed forward to throw the enemy down, and then wiped their necks with knives in the scuffle.

    Sun Chuanting belonged to the commander and did not fight himself.

    Even, those peasants and soldiers?Nod: "Let's fight."

    The old thieves started immediately, punching and kicking at the beginning, but gradually they began to play tricks.

    For example, use a knife to cut out wooden needles and nail them into the ten fingers of the red-haired ghost one by one.

    "ah!"

    Luyter screamed in misery, and only drove six wooden needles in, and the guy was stunned by the pain.

    A basin of cold water was poured on him to wake him up. Not wanting to be tortured by the old thieves, Ruyt immediately panicked and shouted: "We are wrong, we should not invade China's territory! I am a military officer, please send someone to heat the barrier, there will be money  Redeem me back!"

    Sun Chuanting ordered: "Cut off this man's right hand, bandage it and send it to the hot shelter. The rest of the red-haired captives will be used as coolies!"

    Sun Chuanting not only sent the commander back, but also brought a letter: "If you dare to touch the northern part of Taiwan Island again, the Datong court will cut off trade with the Netherlands!"

    This is an ultimatum to the Dutch according to Zhao Han's approval.

    However, it is impossible to predict whether the Netherlands will give in, because they are a group of neurotics with bad brains.

    No matter how cruel the Spanish and Portuguese colonists were, they knew how to be afraid of subduing in the face of powerful opponents.

    The Netherlands is a typical person who is addicted to food, and often makes unreasonable actions, which makes you unable to understand after thinking about it.

 Body 439【North Korea, Annan came to Korea】

    Tainan, Zeelandia City.

    Reuter, who was sent back with his right hand cut off, said to Paul Duradinius, the Taiwan chief of the East India Company: "The Chinese have no walls on the island, and no regular army. They are just a group of civilians who don't even have guns.  The natives raided my camp like that. The North (Taipei) is too far away, we can directly hit Zhuluo (Chiayi)!"

    Zhuluo County in Taiwan Prefecture is not far from the Dutch city of Zeelandia.

    Paul Duradinius scolded: "You idiot, if you attack Zhuluo, it means a full-scale war with China. We went to the north to build castles to set up trade points and supply stations, not to fight the Chinese.  .”

    Don't look at the Netherlands as Teddy, in fact, they have their own logic.

    Just under the eyes of the Han people, try to build a castle first.  Regardless of China, it is naturally the best.  Even if you manage it, you can try to fight the war, maybe you will win it.

    lost?

    Oh, then lose, as long as you can keep doing business.

    Danshui is really the trade supply station chosen by the Dutch.  It can trade with Fujian and is relatively close to Japan. Although Japan is closed to the outside world, there are still feudal lords who secretly engage in sea trade.

    The Dutch, who had lost 50 troops, became honest immediately, and sent envoys to Nanjing again.

    However, Zhao Han continued to put pressure on the Netherlands:

    First, for all Dutch merchant ships, the tariffs on various commodities will be increased by 5% as a punishment for the Dutch building castles without authorization.

    Second, Taichung County was added, 5,000 people immigrated to Taichung at a time to reclaim wasteland, and the government of Taiwan was moved to Taichung.

    Third, build a rammed-earth castle in Zhuluo County, and put all the captured artillery on the castle.

    The Dutch in Taiwan are not to be feared, Zhao Han's eyes are more focused on the mainland.

    When Sun Chuanting led people to attack the red-haired ghost at night, Zhao Han issued two more orders in succession.

    One is to let Sichuan's Ninth Division and Twelfth Division attack the Xuanfu Division of Youyang immediately after the reorganization is completed.

    If Youyang is successfully captured, the Ninth Division will return to Chengdu and look for an opportunity to attack the chieftain in western Sichuan.  The newly formed twelfth division continued to attack the mountainous areas in western Hunan. Those places were under the jurisdiction of Hunan, but no troops were sent to occupy them. They were all densely populated with chieftains of all sizes.

    The second is to adjust administrative divisions.

    Put the Lianzhou Prefecture in Guangdong (the government is in Hepu) under the jurisdiction of Guangxi, and give Guangxi an outlet to the sea.  And build a port in Qinzhou, Guangxi special production capacity through the river, has been transported to Qinzhou seaport

    Nanjing.

    A Vietnamese minister Ruan led the envoys to kneel down: "Ruan Cuo, a minister of the Annan Li Dynasty, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Datong, China!"

    "Ping body." Zhao Han smiled.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ruan Cuo stood up cautiously.

    Zhao Han said again: "Give me a seat."

    Ruan Cuo was even more delighted, the Chinese emperor treated him so courteously, this mission will surely be a success.

    ?Vietnam is now in the state of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. A hundred years ago, the power minister Mo Dengyong usurped the country.  The Nguyen family supported the royal family of the former dynasty, the Li regime was restored, and finally defeated Mo Dengyong to unify Vietnam.

    Zheng Jian, Ruan Gan's son-in-law, coerced the emperor to order the princes, stole the power of the Vietnamese court, and formed the "Lord Zheng of the Li Dynasty" in the north.

    Ruan Gan's sons, Ruan Wang and Ruan Huang, separatist in the south and refused to obey orders, so they formed the "Lord Ruan of the Li Dynasty".

    ?Wars broke out constantly between the two sides, attacking from the north and defending from the south, and ruled across the river.

    These missions to pay tribute to Nanjing are the Ruan regime in the south.  Ruan Cuo said: "Your Majesty, the Zheng family in Annan has no way, and the king of the Li Dynasty has become a puppet. Not only that, just three months ago, the Zheng family accepted the canonization of the puppet emperor of Yunnan, deposed King Annan, and established himself as King Annan!  "

    Zhao Han made an angry look: "This is a rebellious minister and a traitor!"

    Ruan Cuo said: "My lord has found the royal family of the Li Dynasty, please give the seal of King Annan to you."

    Zhao Han sincerely said: "From this point of view, the Ruan family is the real loyal minister."

    Ruan Cuo got up suddenly, walked to the front of the hall and knelt down: "The Ruan family is loyal to the king of the Le Dynasty, just like the king of the Le Dynasty is loyal to His Majesty!"

    Zhao Han said very generously: "In this way, I will bestow the seal of King Annan."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ruan Cuo was ecstatic.

    Lord Ruan in the south has always been at a political disadvantage against Lord Zheng in the north. After all, King Annan is in the hands of the Zheng family.

    Today, Emperor Zhenwu of Ming Dynasty, supported by Mu Tianbo in Yunnan, is rapidly expanding in Guizhou and Guangxi.  Most of the territory handed over between Guangxi and Vietnam has already surrendered to Emperor Zhenwu.

    Mrs. Zheng is obviously confused.?? Enter the line of the Yalu River.

    Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di forced North Korea to sell a large number of war horses in order to fight Mongolia, and to curb the development of North Korea.  After several decades, the good horses in North Korea disappeared, and even the mounts of officials were sold to Ming Dynasty. The average height of Korean horses dropped by about ten centimeters.

    Zhao Han is just imitating Zhu Yuanzhang and forcing North Korea to sell food.

    250,000 shi per year is enough to feed 35,000 troops in Liaodong for more than half a year, which can greatly relieve the pressure on military rations.  However, the people of North Korea will definitely fall into famine because of this, and the already battered North Korean society will inevitably become more difficult to restore people's livelihood.

    ? Beng Deyue is as good as possible. After cleaning up the Qing Dynasty, he will clean up North Korea.

    The reason for sending troops was to punish the people for crimes. The large area of ??northern North Korea was lost by the Han family—inherited from the Mongolian and Yuan legal system, Zhu Yuanzhang gave up because of the situation.

    By the way, North Korea is brewing a coup.

    The two sons of the King of Korea were taken hostage by the Qing Dynasty.  First lived in Shenyang, and then moved to Beijing. The eldest son died of the plague, and the second son also fell ill after returning to Liaodong.

    In addition, North Korea was robbed too hard, and dissatisfaction with the king was brewing all over the country.

    It seems that if the king is changed, North Korea will be able to rejuvenate.

    ?

 Body 440 [Jinling University and the Child Prodigy]

    Neither Nguyen Tso of Vietnam nor Yoon Son Do of North Korea left immediately, but were left to watch the newly completed Jinling University.

    This is the first university under Zhao Han's rule. It is located in Nanjing Guozijian of the Ming Dynasty, which is also near the Sipailou campus of the later Southeast University.

    During the Yongle period, Nanjing Guozijian had 9,000 students.

    Later, it gradually declined, and by the end of Ming Dynasty, it was even more dilapidated, and many buildings were already decayed.

    Today, it has a new look.

    After Wang Zhiliang, the governor of southern Hunan in the Ming Dynasty, was forced to join Zhao Han, he is now a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, and is responsible for leading these foreign envoys to visit.

    This gentleman is old and no longer wants to be a fifth-rank official. He has applied to become a university professor, which has been approved by Zhao Han.

    Wang Zhiliang's school is "Xin Guan Xue", which is very close to Datong theory.  His latest academic achievement is the combination of Hengqu's four sentences and Datong theory, and his articles will be compiled into "Datong Collection" next year.

    Establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, inherit the knowledge of the past, and create peace for all generations.

    Yin Shandao is the teacher of the eldest son of North Korea, who specializes in teaching homework to the princes of North Korea.  It's a pity that his two prince students were both taken hostage by Man Qing, but now one died and the other fell ill.

    Along the way, Yin Shandao was asking Wang Zhiliang for Neo Confucianism.

    Walking in the campus, Wang Zhiliang stroked his beard and said: "The heart of heaven is the human heart, the way of heaven is the way of humanity, and the law of heaven is the law of man."

    Yin Shandao asked again: "How to learn?"

    Wang Zhiliang replied with a smile: "The Ming style is applicable, and the time is important. The truth is true, and learning is valuable."

    Yin Shandao said with emotion: "Jun Zhen is a great Confucian. Scholars in our country are fond of empty talk and do not practice reality, which leads to the ruin of the country."

    Wang Zhiliang said: "I am not a great Confucian, but a professor at Jinling University. The real great Confucians are all in the Imperial Academy and Qintian Academy, and that is the place where learning is really done."

    "Isn't Qin Tianjian a place to study astronomy and calendar?" Yin Shandao looked puzzled.

    Wang Zhiliang explained: "No. Today's Qintian Academy has mathematics, physics, agronomy, astronomy and other halls, and it is also a place for studying university knowledge."

    Yin Shandao hurriedly asked: "Physics is Neo-Confucianism, why isn't it in the Imperial Academy?"

    "Hahaha," Wang Zhiliang laughed, "This physics is not that physics."

    Ruan Cuo, the Vietnamese envoy, just listened all the way. Although he has studied the Four Books and Five Classics, he is at best a child in China.

    Walking to a school building, Ruan Cuo was surprised: "The windows are made of colored glaze?"

    Wang Zhiliang smiled and said: "This thing is glass, don't be surprised. Nowadays in Nanjing, many wealthy families have replaced window paper with glass."

    Ruan Cuo couldn't believe it: "Yesterday in the palace, I saw that the windows were inlaid with glass, and I thought they were only used by His Majesty the Emperor. Unexpectedly, the common people can also use them. China is so rich?"

    Yin Shandao also said: "The Kingdom of Heaven is really extraordinary."

    The entire Jinling University was refurbished by Nanjing Guozijian, and all the window paper was replaced with transparent glass.

    Large glass is not easy to make, but small glass is easy to fire, and it is embedded in the original window lattice.  Moreover, these glasses are not pure, with a faint green color, which is not up to the standard of grinding telescopes.

    After walking for a while, the messengers saw the flag fluttering.

    Ruan Cuo asked, "Is this the banner of the Tian family?"

    Wang Zhiliang said: "This is the national flag. It was confirmed some time ago that government offices and schools in the future will have to raise this flag. The background color is indigo blue, which means the people of the world. The golden dragon means that the emperor should carry the people. The smaller pattern under it  , are cranes and unicorns, meaning civil and military officials. This theory of the three originals, the emperor, officials, and common people complement each other and are indispensable. The cloud pattern between the dragon's scales and claws means the unity of heaven and man. The crane and the unicorn step on  The river cliffs and sea water lines, implying that the mountains and rivers will last forever."

    "The national flag is also the flag of the country," Yin Shandao clapped his hands in praise, "this is very good, North Korea should also have a national flag."

    Ruan Cuo asked again: "Why are there not many people in the school?"

    Wang Zhiliang explained: "Only students from all over the world will come to study after this year's rural examination is over."

    Yin Shandao asked: "His Majesty the Emperor of Datong, has the imperial examination finally resumed?"

    "Recovered." Wang Zhiliang replied casually, not bothering to explain.

    Wang Zhiliang's so-called "rural examination" is the provincial unified examination that finally started this year.

    Middle school students must take the graduation exam organized by the county, and if they pass the exam, they can get a graduation certificate.  Then, with the secondary school diploma, take part in the unified examination organized by the province.

    The top 50 in each province will be paid travel expenses by the government.  After studying at Jinling University, the accommodation fee is free, the food expenses are self-care, and the annual tuition fee is one or two silver??The current natural knowledge is too simple, and most of the content of middle school mathematics will belong to the primary school test center in a few hundred years.

    Physical research is not in-depth, and further efforts are needed.

    ? On the morning of the first day, take the Datong Theory test.

    The entire "Datong Collection" is not thick, and there are not many knowledge points. For candidates, it is a point-giving item.

    Fang Zhongde quickly finished the exam, checked and revised, then handed in the paper and waited for the next round.

    In the Chinese test in the afternoon, I kept one piece of four-book eight-legged essay, and the rest was filled in the blanks and silently wrote the content.  Daming's Tong Sheng can easily handle this kind of difficulty.

    Of course, it is limited to stereotyped content, because Tang poetry and Song poetry and prose are also tested, and children in Ming Dynasty seldom memorize these.

    On the second day, I will take math and physics exams.

    There was a big math problem that caused the candidates to cry, but Fang Zhongde, who was only ten years old, solved it with ease.

    A few days later, the top 300 candidates were announced on the list.

    Fang Zhongde took fourth place in the exam

    Although he is not number one, he is only ten years old. Even Zhao Han knows that there is such a child prodigy.

 Body 441【Helicopter】

    Fang Yizhi was ordered to come to see him, and he brought three sons, ten-year-old Fang Zhongde, eight-year-old Fang Zhongtong, and four-year-old Fang Zhonglu.

    "Meet Your Majesty!"

    The three children bowed upright with their father.

    Zhao Han liked it quite a lot, and after learning about it on the spot, he called his children.

    The eldest son Zhao Kuanghuan is six years old, the second son Zhao Kuangtang, the eldest daughter Zhao Furong, and the second daughter Zhao Hanjin are all only three years old.

    A few children went to play by themselves, Zhao Han asked casually: "What are the recent achievements in physics research?"

    Fang Yizhi replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I found that the gravitational force has nothing to do with the mass of the object. The iron block weighing one catty and the iron block weighing ten catties, ignoring the slight air resistance, they fall from a height and land at the same time."

    "It really is an astonishing discovery." Zhao Han said with a smile.

    Half a century ago, Galileo had already discovered, the Leaning Tower of Pisa, two iron balls fell at the same time.

    It's just that Galileo didn't know about universal gravitation. The universal gravitation in China is still a concept given by Zhao Han.

    Zhao Han asked again: "What else?"

    Fang Yizhi replied: "I have a student who put forward a very outrageous hypothesis based on the fact that water can be frozen, water can be boiled into steam, and iron can be heated into molten iron. That is, everything has a real state.  , water state and gaseous state. Ice is a solid state, heated and melted into water, and then heated and transpired into gas. Iron is a solid state, heated and melted into molten iron, and then heated to rise into iron gas.”

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Has he verified his hypothesis?"

    Fang Yizhi said: "Many experiments have been done, and some objects agree with his hypothesis. But other objects, such as steel, cannot rise to gas at all. There is also wood, which burns when it is burned, and it will become hot when fried in a pan.  Turn black like charcoal."

    Zhao Han said: "What do you think of his hypothesis?"

    Fang Yizhi replied: "I think it should be correct. The molten iron cannot be transpired into gas, maybe it is not heated enough. As for the wood I have no idea yet."

    "Is it possible that solid state, water state, and gaseous state must be pure substances," Zhao Han tempted, "Salt water is also water, but mixed with salt. After boiling salt water, the water becomes gas and disappears.  All that is put down is salt, which is how the boiling salt method came about. Therefore, salt water is not pure water. And the wood, fresh wood has moisture, and it becomes lighter when baked or dried, because the water in the wood evaporates  If you heat it up and burn it, it will turn into charcoal, so something must have changed?"

    Fang Yizhi pondered, but still couldn't figure it out.

    Zhao Han reminded: "It's better to make a thermometer."

    "What is a thermometer?" Fang Yizhi asked.

    Zhao Han said: "Clocks have scales to record time. Scales have scales to weigh objects. Why not make a tool to measure heat and cold?"

    The more Fang Yizhi thought about it, the more confused he became: "Water temperature can be measured by hand, how to measure it with tools?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Have you noticed that if you put a bucket of water outside in winter, the volume will shrink after it freezes? Or a door that can be easily closed in winter will hit the door frame in summer?"

    Fang Yizhi thought about it carefully: "It's really like this."

    "I guess, everything expands with heat and contracts with cold," Zhao Han said, "It's better to make a utensil out of glass, pour mercury into it, and mark the corresponding scale. Put it in hot water, the height of the mercury column  Not the same, in cold water, the height of the mercury column is different. Set the temperature of the water that is about to freeze as zero degrees, and mark the scale on the thermometer. Then set the temperature of the water that is about to boil as one hundred degrees.  In this way, from zero to one hundred degrees, divided into one hundred scales, you can know how much each degree is, and you can measure the heat and cold of various objects."

    Fang Yizhi began to think again.

    Zhao Han continued: "Glass is inconvenient for heat transfer, so you can make a probe on the thermometer and connect it to the mercury inside, so you can use copper as the probe of the thermometer."

    In this regard, Fang Yizhi was fidgeting, obviously wanting to go home immediately to do experiments.

    Because the amount of information is too large, we must first prove the principle of "expansion with heat and contraction with cold".

    Expanding with heat and shrinking with cold, just a few words, is the key for human beings to enter the age of steam.

    In more than fifty years, the first steam engine model will be born in Europe.  Nineteen years later, the first steam water extraction machine appeared, which discharged the water in the mine through a steam engine.

    Seeing that Fang Yizhi's mind was no longer here, Zhao Han said with a smile: "Go do the experiment, your three sons, I will send someone to send them back."

    "Resignation!" Fang Yizhi got up immediately.

    In the garden.

    Several children are playing with bamboo; In fact, Liu Tongsheng regretted it himself, but regretting is useless.  If he really had to choose again, he would still run away with his family without knowing the future.

    He is the number one scholar, how could he join the rebels?

    Seeing that the atmosphere in the cabin was not right, Wu Weiye pointed to a mountain pavilion in Taihu Lake and said, "Brother Jinqing, the Yijihua Pavilion was completed last year. Do you know why this pavilion has such a name?"

    "There are many kinds of epiphyllum outside the pavilion?" Liu Tongsheng asked.

    "No, no," Mao Pijiang said with a smile, "on the top of this pavilion, there is a vase. The vase is hollowed out into two layers, and an oil lamp is placed in the vase, and light can be seen from miles away at night. The wind of Taihu Lake blows  Come, the four windows on the outer wall of the vase turn, and the light flickers on and off, like a flash in the pan. Hang a copper plate in the pavilion, add sesame oil, and the fire of the vase will last forever. Not only that, no matter how strong the lake wind is, it will  Can't blow out the lamp in the vase."

    This pavilion is not only a place for tourists to rest, but also a lighthouse for boatmen at night.

    Liu Tongsheng exclaimed: "This is what a craftsman did."

    Jin Sheng sighed and said, "That ingenious craftsman is called Xu Zhengming. He is really a weird person. He actually imitated the children's toy bamboo dragonfly and made a kind of flying chair. After more than ten years of making it, all the money he earned was thrown into it, and the family often ran out of food. Last time  The moon finally flew up, but it was only a foot above the ground, and it barely flew two or three feet away before falling."

    "Can you really get off the ground?" Liu Tongsheng was surprised.

    Chen Mingxia laughed loudly: "Is a height of one foot called flying? It's just a plaything. ?

 Body 442【Playing with lost ambition】

    Nanjing, near Shibuya.

    Unable to get close to the emperor's office, Xu Zhengming put the flying chair on the street, stepping on the pedals with both feet to attract passers-by.

    According to the records of "Wu County Chronicles", this flying chair is shaped like a Castanopsis chair.  "There are organs underneath, and the teeth are interlocked", that is, driven by gears.  "A person sits in a chair and hits the board with his two feet, and the machine moves up and down, and the wind whirls." That is, use the pedals to drive the gears, and then let the propellers rotate to take off.

    Under the onlookers of the people in Nanjing, the propellers were turning rapidly, and the large fans were blowing dust on the ground.

    Even the person and the chair flew up.

    "What a wonder!"

    "Fly higher and fly to the roof!"

    "This place is too close to the royal family. If I fly higher, I'm afraid I'll fall into His Majesty's courtyard."

    "Oh, I fell!"

    Xu Zhengming got up in disgrace, his right hand was scratched, and his trousers were torn at the knee.  He patted the dust on his palms and said in crappy official language: "My neighbors in Nanjing, I, Xu Zhengming, are here to present a flying chair to His Majesty. But I can't see His Majesty, so I will present treasures to the neighbors first. If you like it, call  A few rewards. To be honest, I have exhausted all my money, and I still haven't found a place to stay tonight."

    "Fly again!" Someone booed.

    Xu Zhengming smiled and said: "Okay, let's fly again for the neighbors."

    His flying chair has been improved and can fly more than two feet high, which is nearly one meter.  Moreover, there are also small propellers at the tail, which can be pushed forward and even steered.

    "The up and down machine turns the wind and whirls quickly", the upper one is a large propeller, and the lower one is a small propeller.

    There are more and more onlookers, and even the patrolmen have come, and they have been standing by the side of the road watching strangely.

    It's a pity that this thing is too laborious, and you have to pedal like crazy.  Step on your feet more slowly, and the flying chair will immediately fall down, falling down every time, and it has never landed smoothly.

    Seeing the flying chair fall to the ground, the patrolman immediately stepped forward and scolded: "You can't juggle for a show here, let alone gather a crowd to make noise. Leave quickly, or you will be fined!"

    Xu Zhengming hurriedly got up, cupped his hands to please him and said: "This official, the grass-roots people want to see His Majesty, so they come from Suzhou to present this thing."

    "If you want to see His Majesty, please post a letter in the large mailbox over there, stating what is the matter," said the patrolman, "If Your Majesty wants to see you, you can send someone to summon you yourself."

    Xu Zhengming said: "It has been several days since I submitted the letter, and there is no news at all."

    The patrolman smiled and said, "That means His Majesty doesn't want to see you."

    When the mailbox was first set up in Nanjing, the common people felt that it was new, and even trivial matters were written into it.

    Gradually, they found that the emperor didn't care about trivial matters, and he didn't bother to write letters after a long time.

    Today's letters to the emperor are mostly voted by folk scholars, and there are no more than two types of content: one is to offer advice and suggestions, put forward their own political opinions, and want to win the favor of the emperor;  To impress the emperor.

    There is a guy who writes one a day, whose name is familiar to Zhao Han.

    So that Zhao Han directly asked someone to post a notice next to the mailbox: "Gossip and articles are not allowed to post letters. If there is a repeat offense, none of the descendants will be an official!"

    Under the urging of the policeman, Xu Zhengming and his son carried the flying chair and wanted to leave.

    But I saw a strong female officer coming on horseback, shouting along the way: "Who is Xu Zhengming? Who is Xu Zhengming?"

    "I am, I am!" Xu Zhengming waved quickly.

    The female officer reprimanded: "Why can't the inn find you? It's so hard for me to find you, my voice is hoarse."

    Xu Zhengming smiled apologetically, "It's been half a month since I've been in Nanjing, and I've run out of money, and the inn clerk drove people away with sticks."

    The female officer said: "Come with me quickly, and take your things with you."

    The father and son carried the flying chair and left inexplicably excited.

    He heard people say that the emperor likes strange things, so he ventured to Nanjing.

    Zhao Han was in Liu Rushi's courtyard. Liu Rushi was walking and singing under the shade of a tree with her big belly.  Li Xiangjun, who is a female official, sat next to her and played a pipa to accompany her.

    "The wild goose marches south, the westerly wind is blowing in a hurry, and Hu Tian is loud and empty, and the sound is difficult to read, and the situation is very smelly, and who is going to visit the beauty? There is Wusun who is sent to the west and is alone all his life, and there is a barren grave. The smoke locks the grass and green  "

    This is a Sanqu from Liang Chenyu's "Jiangdong Baizhu".

    Sanqu is different from opera.

    Xiqu can be understood as Chinese opera, and Sanqu is a popular song in the Ming Dynasty. It is still very pleasant to get used to.

    After a song is sung, a female officer will come to report.?Come to see the emperor, want to get some reward money to live.

    It's even better now, I have a job in Qintianyuan, and I can make money while tinkering with airplanes.

    Moreover, under the pretext of improving the loom, the "leftovers" of good wood can be used for free.

    ? With the introduction of hydraulic spinning machines in Jiangxi, the spinning speed cannot keep up with the spinning speed.  Therefore, over the past few years, the spinning machine has also been improved, but the spinning efficiency has only increased by about 20%.

    Zhao Han also doesn't understand textile machinery. Now that he catches someone who can make a helicopter, of course he has to throw it away to do some serious business.

    In the era when the power system cannot keep up, the development of helicopters is indeed "playing with things and losing one's ambition"!

    If Xu Zhengming continues to do it, and one day he can really fly a few feet high, he will be thrown to death sooner or later.

    After this person left, another female official came to report: "Your Majesty, Hong Chengchou and others have been brought to Nanjing."

    "Send it to mine." Zhao Han was too lazy to see these traitors.

    Hong Chengchou and Zuo Liangyu were almost forgotten about the many things going on in Shandong.  It wasn't until Fei Ruhe was ordered to move his army that he suddenly remembered that there were still a bunch of high-level prisoners, and they were hurriedly sent to the Jiangsu border for isolation, and then sent all the way to Nanjing by boat.

    Wouldn't it be cheaper to kill Hong Chengchou?

    Zhao Han didn't like to mess with Ling Chi, and felt uncomfortable if he cut him off with a knife.  Then send them to mines and become a working people. How many years they can live depends entirely on the good fortune of the traitors.

    ?

 Text 443【The Prospecting Team and the Pigtail】

    Hunan, Hengyang, Changning.

    Cao Jin, an old ore hunter in Jiangxi, Xu Xiake, a travel expert, and Abel Tasman, an explorer of the East India Company, have led an exploration team for several years.

    People often pick up the dog's head gold, two or three counties in a radius have been explored.  A few gold veins have been found, but they are all low-quality. It is estimated that the gold dug out can barely recover the mining cost.

    The only work result is that Xu Xiake wrote a few more travel notes, recording the mountains, rivers, topography and customs of those counties.

    Until last year, the exploration team finally discovered high-quality gold deposits in Changning County, Hengyang Prefecture.

    Historically, this gold mine was discovered in the Qing Dynasty. It was mined secretly by the people at the beginning, and it was nationalized at the end of the Qing Dynasty.  In the 1980s of New China, the second exploration of the old mine was carried out, and the largest gold mine in the country was discovered at that time!

    ?As a reward, both Cao Jin and Xu Xiake were given land, and served as the principal (the seventh rank) and the deputy (the eighth rank) respectively in the Prospecting Institute of the Ministry of Industry.

    Abel Tasman also obtained Nanjing household registration, and Zhao Han also negotiated with the governor of Batavia, ordering him to send Abel's wife and children here.  As a result, the East India Company sent a letter saying that Abel's wife had remarried  and agreed to send Abel's son with him when trading horses next time.

    When this guy was sad, he married a village girl in Changning County.

    The village girl's family still looked down on him, thinking that he was too ugly with red hair and green eyes, and he had no official status and no land.

    Abel had no choice but to write a letter to Zhao Han, requesting that he be given an official status, which can be regarded as an advance payment for the next reward.  Zhao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and felt that this person was useful, so he gave it to a low-level official from the ninth rank.

    "Dang Dang Dang!"

    Workers of the prospecting team are digging earth and rocks with shovels.

    This time it was Xu Xiake who discovered the relevant position, and Cao Jin and Abel determined the excavation site.

    A piece of gravel was dug out. Cao Jin, an old craftsman, picked it up to observe, then struck the knife in his hand, and said happily, "It's a magnet, and there is either copper or gold underneath!"

    "Guanzi Dishu Chapter": "Whoever has a magnet on the top, there is copper and gold on the bottom."

    This is a prospecting method used in China for two thousand years, and it is useful for vertical ore bodies.  Some kind of ore in the outer layer is called "mine seedling" or "mine lead", which has an indicative effect on the minerals in the inner layer.

    In addition, it can also be identified by plants, some plants absorb minerals and change color or shape.

    Although Abel Tasman, a self-confident and experienced explorer, brought a set of European prospecting methods, he learned more in China.

    Prospectors continue to dig below, and the next step is to try their luck.

    Good luck, rich mines, everyone is happy; bad luck, poor mines, nothing.

    The workers were doing physical labor, while the three leaders sat by to rest and observe.

    Abel skillfully took out the Chinese tobacco rod, stuffed the shredded tobacco into the pot, and said in Chinese: "Old Cao, borrow a fire."

    Cao Jin had already smoked it, and handed over the unextinguished fire.

    ? Xu Xiake is also puffing up his breath. He should have died last year. He suffered from foot disease while traveling in Yunnan, and was carried back to Jiangsu by the chieftain.

    Cao Jin asked: "Lao An, how old is your son?"

    Abel Tasman's Chinese name is An Siwen. He replied: "Nine years old, living in Lao Xu's house, and still learning to speak Chinese."

    Cao Jin proudly showed off: "My eldest grandson is fifteen this year. Yesterday, I received a letter from my family saying that more than 300 people passed the provincial examination."

    Jiangxi was the first to open elementary and middle schools. It has the largest number of students, the highest quality of students, and the most difficult exams. It is already very impressive to be able to take more than 300 exams.

    After all, it is the land of Longxing, and there are many candidates, so the top 100 students in Jiangxi this year can go to Nanjing to study as official fee students.

    It will not work next year. Nanchang University is about to be completed. From now on, Jiangxi government fee students can only study in Nanchang.

    Cao Jin asked Xu Xiake again: "Does Mr. Xu's family also have children taking exams?"

    Xu Xiake flicked the shredded tobacco with a dead branch, and replied: "The eldest grandson and two grandnephews are all taking the provincial examination this year, and I don't know how much they passed."

    Cao Jin said with a smile: "It happens that the reward silver hasn't been spent yet, so it's all used to pay for grandson's tuition. I've heard people say that Jinling University is the Imperial College of the previous dynasty, and as long as you go to study, you will be a good husband."

    Occupying Hubei was relatively late, and now there are only primary schools, and secondary schools will be established next year—the first batch of primary school students will graduate.

    The areas north of the Yangtze River in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces are similar to the situation in Hubei.  This time, all the students who participated in the provincial unified examination were students from the south of the Yangtze River, and all of them were grade skippers.  Including Jinling Mansion,The Xu family that I married off has been split into nine shares, at least one more split before I can rest assured.

    The Fei family will also be dismantled, and a few will be dismantled and sent to Shandong and Henan.

    The two royal families have been dismantled, and the rest of the big families dare to chew their tongues?

    It was getting late, when Xu Xiake and others went down the mountain to return to the village, they just ran into a group of criminals escorted by officials.

    Xu Xiake was quite surprised, and asked: "At such an old age, you are still fined to be a miner?"

    The officer pointed to the dozen or so people and said, "They are all big traitors. This is Hong Chengchou, this is Zuo Liangyu, this is Sun Dingliao, and this is Meng Xiongbi"

    Cao Jin spat: "Bah, shameless!"

    Xu Xiake looked over curiously, Hong Chengchou raised his hand to cover his face, but Zuo Liangyu was in a trance.

    "Cough cough cough"

    Zuo Liangyu suddenly coughed, and when she covered her mouth, her palms were covered in blood.  He didn't get the plague, but he was really sick, and he probably died in the mine within half a month.

    The official officer pointed to Hong Chengchou's braid, and said with a smile, "Look, everyone, the money rat tail. His Majesty forbids them to cut off the braid. There are people watching all the way. This pig tail is so ugly. I don't know what the Tartars think."  of."

    Hong Chengchou covered his face, but he couldn't cover his braid, because his hands were shackles.

    Cao Jin stepped over, grabbed the braid and pulled it, and said with a smile: "It's really similar to a pig's tail."

    Hong Chengchou's head was pulled back, and he felt a great shame in his heart.  He was afraid of death, so he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty; he was afraid of death, so he was captured by the Datong army; he was afraid of death, so he was escorted all the way to Jiangxi.

    But now, he finally wants to commit suicide, and find a chance to finish it off.

    ?

 Text 444【The Fool in the Mining Area】

    Zuo Liangyu's life is very good, but he can't afford to be ill.

    The doctor in the mining area came to make a diagnosis. He did not pretend to be sick and was lazy. He said to the management staff: "The disease is terminal, and the medicine stone is incurable."

    In desperation, he can only let it fend for itself.

    I didn't force him to dig in the tunnels, and I didn't bother to give him medicine, so I threw him in the shack and lay down, and even occasionally forgot to feed him.

    ? Zuo Liangyu was seriously ill and was treated badly, how could he survive?

    "Watergive me water"

    "Cough cough cough!"

    There were groans from time to time in the shack, but no one paid any attention to them. The warlords of one side had fallen to such a point.

    Every time Hong Chengchou passed by Zuo Liangyu's shack, he felt ashamed, and he didn't want to go out again when he came here.

    One day, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but went in, and while no one was pouring a bowl of water for Zuo Liangyu, he said, "We have the same destiny."

    "Cough cough cough!"

    Zuo Liangyu coughed weakly, and said, "Give me a knife, it's uncomfortable"

    "Where did I get the knife?" Hong Chengchou sighed.

    Zuo Liangyu lamented: "One wrong step, one wrong step. I can't blame anyone for the road I chose, but I only blame that I didn't go to the south at the beginning."

    Hong Chengchou was speechless.

    His life is not easy, or in other words, the life of these traitors is not easy.

    Seeing that he was older and Zuo Liangyu was ill, the tunnel steward was afraid that Hong Chengchou would not live for a few days, so he specially arranged a relatively easy position.

    But the body can hold it, but the mind can't hold it!

    "dinner time!"

    Another batch of miners came in for rotation, and the previous batch of miners went out to eat.

    The traitors huddled together, and other miners pointed with their rice bowls, and finally a few young people came over.

    The leader is Zhang Jiben, who committed a felony and came to mine.

    Crimes like his are now exiled to Taiwan, and they will be thrown into the mines before.

    Moreover, several mines have exposed the abuse of miners, and serious miners are also frequently abused by the managers.  Since two years ago, the mines in various places have been rectified and become more formal and humane.

    Otherwise, Zhang Jiben would not have survived today!

    "Hey, you pigtail, is your scalp cool in winter?" Zhang Jiben said with a smile.

    Another miner laughed and said, "I don't know in winter, but it must be cool in summer."

    Zhang Jiben grabbed Hong Chengchou's braid: "I heard that you voted for the Tartars and helped the Tartars kill Han people. Although I was deceived, I still remember my ancestors. Why don't you want your ancestors?"

    Hong Chengchou held the bowl and didn't speak, just ate in silence.

    "damn thing!"

    A miner kicked Hong Chengchou and scolded: "Are you deaf? Brother Zhang San is talking to you!"

    The food in the bowl was scattered all over the floor, but Hong Chengchou remained silent.  He knew that no matter what he said, he would be teased by the other party. This kind of thing happened almost every day.

    Zhang Jiben reached out and patted Hong Chengchou's forehead: "The hair was born by parents, why did you shave it off?"

    It stands to reason that Hong Chengchou's hair should grow back after being captive for so long.

    However, on the way to mine in Hunan, the officials shaved him again, and now only a few inches have grown back.

    "You fucking talk!" Zhang Jiben was furious.

    Hong Chengchou beat and scolded, but still didn't say a word.

    Zhang Jiben saw that he ate up all the food in the bowl, so he grabbed his braid and pressed it on the ground: "The food is hard-grown, so what if it's scattered? Eat up the food that falls on the ground!"

    Hong Chengchou was powerless to resist, the root of the hair on the back of his head was pulled so painfully, his whole face was pressed to the ground, his face was immediately covered with soft food.

    "Eat quickly, eat quickly!"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    "If you don't recognize your ancestor's dog, you should clean it up like this!"

    Most of the miners are not good stubble. Although the number of convicts is getting less and less, serious miners are also very vicious.

    Most of these serious miners are mountain residents, with barren land and poor harvests.  In order to earn more money, some people came to apply for miners.  Especially after the rectification of the mining area, the officials in charge are not allowed to beat and scold at will, and work up to eight hours a day.

    Eight-hour system, no more, because it is all heavy physical work!

    Of course, if you are a prisoner who commits a crime, you will definitely not be treated so well, and is often forced by the foreman to go to the mine to work overtime.

    All the miners held their bowls, eating and watching, all with a joke.sp; Zhao Han also didn't know much about Tibet, so he asked everyone to comment, but he still couldn't explain why.

    Everyone only knows from the Tang newspaper in Sichuan that Gushi Khan is a Mongolian.

    The Mongols unified Tibet?

    Not only unified Tibet, but also unified Qinghai!

    Gush Khan, formerly known as Tulu Baihu, is the fourth son of the leader of the Heshuo Special Department. Gush Khan's original meaning is "National Teacher Khan".  When this person was twenty-five years old, he successfully mediated the conflict between Oirat and Khalkha, and was named a great national teacher by the Mongolian Khan of Khalkha.

    Ten years ago, Gush Khan was still a nomad in Xinjiang. The Yellow Sect of Tibet asked Mongolia to send troops, and this man volunteered to lead the troops south.

    ?In this series of battles, Gushi Khan successively occupied Qinghai and Tibet, and actually broke away from Zhungeer Mongolia on the other side of Xinjiang.

    ? Zhao Han obviously brought about a butterfly effect. The chieftains of Sichuan and Tibet were afraid of being divided, and after Gushhan established the Ganden Pozhang regime, they chose to take refuge in the past.  They wanted to use the hands of the Mongols to separate western Sichuan from Sichuan, and they were determined to resist the Datong Army anyway.

    Gush Khan is in its heyday, and it is really not a good time to start a war.

    Historically, the Qing Dynasty successfully recovered Qinghai and Tibet because Gush Khan was dead.  Tibet is divided into two parts, and Qinghai is divided into eight parts. It is easy to clean up a mess.

    Screening off all the officials, Zhao Han stared at the map in a daze.

    There are still a lot of battles to be fought, Northern Zhili, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Liaodong, Qinghai, Xinjiang, Tibet, Guizhou, Yunnan, Mongolia Only Guangxi occupies most of the territory, and the rest of the territory has to be won by troops. Taiwan  The navy has to grow stronger before going to war with the Netherlands.

    Unsurprisingly, Liaodong has already started fighting, because it is the time to harvest wheat.

 Text 445【Bastion】

    The Gaizhou City in the Ming Dynasty was located closer to the sea than the urban area of ??Gaizhou hundreds of years later, blocking the passage from the north to the south.

    Dorgon led an army of 50,000 in person, and tens of thousands of them were coated with the army. After gathering in Haizhou, he quickly went south.

    Hauge led the 20,000 Eight Banners Army, came from the valley in the northeast, and went straight to the east of Gaizhou along the Daqing River, just wanting to wreak havoc on the countryside and grab wheat.

    Because the entire north bank of the Daqing River, in order to prevent it from being harassed by the Manchus, the vast and fertile land was completely abandoned, and crops can only be seen if you cross the Daqing River.

    Anyway, the population is insufficient, so of course we must choose a safer area for cultivation.

    "My lord, the front door is Newcastle!"

    Hauge galloped out on horseback, bypassed a mountain creek, and personally stepped forward to take out the binoculars to observe.

    There is no castle here, and the construction has been completed in recent months.  Since they didn't know the name, the Manchu spies called it "Xinbao".

    At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in order to guard against the passage here, Tangchi Fort was built in the north, and a large area of ??Lingguan, Shanghata Dun and Shimenguan were built along the river valley in the east.  However, these places are too far away and are easy to be surrounded and defended. The Datong Army shrunk their defenses and built the "Pinglu Fort".

    "What castle is this?"

    Haug put down the binoculars, muttered to himself, then picked it up again to continue observing.

    The walls of the castle here are very low, and you can rush up with a ladder.  Moreover, there is a layer of sloping soil slopes outside the city wall. This kind of soil slope does not even need ladders, and soldiers can climb it by running and charging.

    It's just that the trenches outside the slope are very annoying, and the folks have to fill the trenches first.

    After observing carefully for a while, Hauge was amused, and said to the left and right generals: "If it is under my command, the craftsmen responsible for building this castle should be killed. How can we prevent the army from attacking the city?"

    The original plan was that Dorgon led the main force to besiege Gaizhou City and send aid by the way.  Hauge led a partial division to outflank the flanks, plundered the population while harvesting wheat, and joined forces with Dorgon at critical moments.

    At this moment, Hauge saw the appearance of "Pinglu Fortress", and immediately decided to unplug this stronghold first.

    According to Hauge's estimate, it can be won in a day at most!

    The people who were plundered from North Korea some time ago have now become siege men, and they go to fill the trenches with the soldiers.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    As soon as the peasants approached the trench, they were shot by the firecrackers behind the slope.

    After a gunshot, they all collapsed.

    In desperation, Hauge ordered the car to be moved from the ship to assemble.  Use a car to cover the civilian husband, and fill in the trench first.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    This time it was a cannon fire, and it was extremely accurate, almost four or five shells could destroy a wagon.

    Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry has expanded to 7,000.  The newly added war horses were all captured on the Henan and Shandong battlefields, and some cavalry simply came here with their horses.

    For example, Jiang Yu took four hundred Ding cavalry to join him, and is now dispatched to Liaodong to participate in the battle.

    "Haha, this Laoshizi Bastion is really useful." Lu Xiangsheng stood on the wall to watch the battle.

    The bastion is not known for being strong, and the city walls are also very low.  If you are really rushed to the bottom of the city by the enemy, you can climb up in minutes.

    However, there is no blind spot of firepower, and enemies in any corner will be covered by firepower.

    Including the shooting point of the artillery, they are all measured in advance.  When the enemy arrived in that area, they let the artillery fire, and the hit rate of the shells was very high.

    After several vehicles were scrapped in a row, Hauge couldn't sit still, and ordered the civilian men and servants to fill the trench with soil regardless of casualties.

    After defeating the men who filled the trench more than ten times, Lu Xiangsheng suddenly ordered: "Let them fill it, save some gunpowder and shells, and use it to fight the real Tartars behind."

    The guns stopped immediately, and Hauge was overjoyed: "Those Nanban ammunition is not enough, quickly fill up the trench!"

    The trench is neither wide nor deep.

    After the gun threat was eliminated, the civilian husband quickly filled it up, and Hauge immediately ordered the Eight Banners soldiers to push the car to attack.

    Everything went well until the car approached the slope.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Firecrackers appeared on the slope again, and the siege weapon of the Manchu and Qing dynasties, the chariot, could not play the slightest defensive role.

    Because the soil slopes are also full of edges and corners, the car can block the bullets on the front, but it cannot block the bullets on both sides.  The paper shell ammunition is loaded, and the paper shell is also inserted with a stab strip, which can prevent the projectile from rolling off when it is shot down.

    The descendants of Nurhachi, the owner of the small flag of Zhenglan Banner, and Boluo, the son of Gushan Bei, are leading the charge at this time.

    Hauge’s confiscated Zhenglan Banner Niulu, although??Mongolia.

    The bastion-like defensive buildings in Liaodong were built by Sun Yuanhua with the support of Sun Chengzong.  Ningyuan, which Zu Dashou guarded for more than ten years, has similar defensive buildings.

    However, that is not a bastion.

    Instead, on the basis of the Chinese-style city wall, a prismatic enemy platform was built so that artillery and firecrackers could bypass the chariot and hit the enemy.

    There is no difference between who is good and who is bad. Even the Eight Banners soldiers can't break through. In the end, Ningyuan City was besieged alive.

    The bastion here is too short. Hauge and other Manchu nobles couldn't think of Ningyuan City for a while, and they didn't think of the sharp-angled enemy tower in Ningyuan City until they were hurt.

    "Rush to die?" Duny sneered.

    "What should we do if we don't rush?" Obai said, "The castle is built in a critical place, so we can bypass it when we come here. How can we bypass the food, people and livestock when we have a lot of luggage? At that time, we have to cross the river,  Either walk outside the castle, no matter which one is easy to be raided."

    Duny said: "Just lead the enemy out of the castle and destroy them!"

    Aobai confronted each other: "Those southern barbarians know how to fight, so we must let us rob them. The more things we rob, the harder it will be to march. At that time, we will be the prey, and the enemy will be the hunters. They rely on the castle, and they can come and go quickly."  Hurry up, go fast, gain the upper hand everywhere, we are very passive everywhere."

    Doni said: "No matter how difficult the field battle is, it's better than besieging the city and dying. This weird castle, you go first if you want to die!"

    "Let's go!" Aobai said angrily.

    This seems to be discussing military affairs, but it is actually a continuation of the conflict between Hauge and Dorgon.

    Doni is the second son of Dodo!

    Shang Kexi huddled beside him. He didn't speak at first, but he didn't want to storm the castle, so he had to say: "This kind of castle with a sharp angle, I've heard it mentioned by the red-haired artilleryman before, and Mr. Sun has also mentioned it many times. Don't look at it  Short, in fact, it is not easy to conquer"

    "Why didn't you say it earlier? I killed thousands of warriors!" Hauge was furious.

    Shang Kexi explained: "The last general has only heard about it, and has never seen the real thing. And in the past many years, I really didn't think of it for a while, and I didn't think of it until the prince withdrew his troops just now."

    Aobai said: "First use the artillery to bombard, wait until the Eight Banners warriors charge close, and then stop and don't fire the artillery. The slope is not steep, and only wears a layer of armor, so it must be very fast. After occupying the slope  , and then take a ladder to attack the city. Those walls are not high, so we can definitely attack them!"

    Haoge didn't want to be laughed at by Dorgon, so he said immediately: "Then try this way!"

    Doni and the others just sneered, they wouldn't attack anyway.  If Hauge wanted to force it, he had to let his Niu Lu go to attack the city, and they wouldn't feel distressed no matter how many deaths there were.

    Manqing is the head office, and the Eight Banners are branch companies. There are also branch companies under each banner, and each branch company is responsible for its own profits and losses.

    As the small boss of the branch, Doni only needs to keep himself from losing money.

 Text 446 [The Lame First Manchurian Warrior]

    Although Hauge is reckless, he is not stupid, and he has to be strategic when rushing.

    The Manchu and Qing troops were very patient in fighting. During the Battle of Daling River, they shelled each other for a long time.

    Huang Taiji prepared 8,500 light and heavy artillery shells each, and forcibly pulled out all the Ming army forts on the periphery of the battlefield one by one.  Almost every Ming army fort was bombarded by more than 200 rounds of artillery shells from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

    Moreover, in the Manchu Qing army, the infantry and cavalry fought together at that time!

    Now Haug has followed suit and ordered the entire army to wear only one layer of armor.  This is because they have figured out the route of the Datong Army, and know that there are no archers in the Datong Army, but a large number of firecrackers.

    Since this is the case, there is no need to wear multiple layers of armor, anyway, they will be pierced by firecrackers.

    Just before the battle, Shang Kexi came to offer advice again: "My lord, the enemy's guns are fierce, why don't you dig a trench and move forward until you reach those slopes!"

    Before the emergence of powerful blooming bullets, there were three ways to attack the bastion:

    First, use human lives to pile up until the defenders can't kill them.

    Second, bombard with a mortar.  The mortars shoot at a large angle, and a large number of mortars are used to project the city wall.

    Third, dig tunnels.  First dig a circular tunnel, then dig a parallel tunnel, and then dig a circular tunnel the cycle goes back and forth, advancing little by little.

    Naturally, the Manchus did not dare to sacrifice human lives, and they only had cannons, and they had never been in the habit of carrying mortars.

    Then we can only dig tunnels. Although Shang Kexi did not propose a circular tunnel attack, it is still very powerful to think of digging tunnels.

    Haug shook his head and said: "When the tunnel is dug, the wheat in the countryside will be rotten. This battle must be settled quickly! The castle on the opposite side is very short, and it can be captured quickly by breaking through the slope outside and braving arrows and stones. I plan to  Attack from all sides, the formation should be looser, and one or two thousand casualties will surely be able to conquer this castle."

    Shang Kexi hesitated to speak, and didn't know what to say.

    Digging tunnels is indeed a lot of work. The Manchu Qing sent troops this time mainly to harvest wheat.

    ? By the way, in the siege of Gaizhou to fight for aid.

    Hauge belongs to the partial division here, and dare not besiege the city to fight for aid.  If you stay too long, you may be rushed by reinforcements and attack from behind

    "The enemy is about to attack!" Jiang Yu said standing on the tower.

    Xiao Zongxian said with a smile: "I am in a hurry to die."

    Xiao Zongxian was stationed in Fuzhou before. After the Pinglu Fort was repaired, he brought the firecrackers over, and the melee infantry and dragoons remained in Fuzhou.

    Due to time and condition constraints, Pinlu Fort is not a serious bastion, and the construction is actually relatively very simple.

    On the periphery of the low castle, there are circles of ditches and earthen walls.

    The soil and rocks excavated from the trenches were piled up into slopes on the outermost periphery, and low walls were piled up between the trenches.

    The low walls everywhere are only half the height of a person, and the firecrackers can hide behind and shoot.  After the enemy rushed over the slope, there were still trenches waiting, and each trench was a natural moat of life and death.

    All ditches and earthen walls must be breached before the real castle can be attacked.

    At this moment, outside the slope, there are small groups of enemies everywhere, attacking in a very loose formation.

    Xiao Zongxian held up the binoculars, and said slowly: "The order is not to fire. This attack is all weak soldiers, not the Eight Banners Army at all. They should come to test our army's firepower deployment."

    On the castle, there is no fire.

    These were the soldiers who were forced to feign an attack. They ran to the vicinity of the slope before being defeated by the Datong firecrackers on the slope.

    Jiang Guan flattered and said: "General Xiao has good eyesight, so they are all weak soldiers!"

    Xiao Zongxian said with a smile: "Although they are all wearing cotton armor, their charging momentum is not right. It is not even as good as the farmers and soldiers of Datong in the south of me. What are they not weak soldiers?"

    Apart from Fei Ruhe, Xiao Zongxian was the one who read the most among the teachers in the early days, which is really not comparable to a reckless man like Zhang Tieniu.

    Of course, Huang Yao, Li Zheng and Hu Dinggui have also insisted on reading these years, although most of them are military books.

    Lu Xiangsheng suddenly said: "It's better to resist for a while from the outside, to show the enemy's weakness, and let the tartars in before fighting."

    "Mr. Lu's words are exactly what I want." Xiao Zongxian said with a smile.

    Chatting in the city, but frowning outside the city.

    Having wasted the lives of some soldiers, but could not test out the firepower of the defenders, this made Hauge feel very uncomfortable.

    He kind of missed fighting in Shanshan and Shanxi. There are a lot of surrendered soldiers and generals available, so there is no need to waste the lives of Eight Banners warriors as a test.

    Withdrew to Liaodong this time, Dorgon also took 20,000The flag order can only be handled by the frontline commanders themselves.

    When Aobai climbed the ladder, he was shot in the calf.

    This No. 1 warrior in Manchuria climbed faster after eating pain, and rushed up in two or three strokes.

    "boom!"

    Another shot hit the Eight Banners soldiers behind Oboi, and this unlucky guy happened to block the shot for Hao.

    Aobai limped out of the slope with his defeated soldiers, and was about to face the artillery bombardment from the city again.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    It is difficult for the attacker's artillery to hit the bastion, and the bastion's artillery is also easy to bombard the enemy.  Moreover, this angle is very prone to ricochets. Almost every shell hits the ground, it will jump up and fly forward for a long distance, and if it hits one, it will be either dead or seriously injured.

    Aobai lost his leg and managed to escape back, but what he faced was Hauge's wrath.

    Hauge couldn't figure out what was going on inside, and he was furious when he saw a bunch of rout soldiers: "They've already rushed in, why did they escape again?"

    Aobai explained with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, there are ditches and low walls inside. There are twists and turns, you can't hit the enemy, you can only be hit by the enemy."

    Hauge was suddenly speechless.

    The defeated soldiers fled back one after another, and Hauge counted the casualties. This attack actually lost more than 1,600 people!

    In fact, some of them didn't die, but they couldn't get out, so the prisoners took more than a hundred of them.

    Duny didn't bother to argue with Hauge, and sighed: "Don't attack the castle anymore, go to the countryside to harvest wheat. At least three or four hundred warriors under my command did not escape."

    Hauge glared gleefully: "Since you have heard of this kind of castle, why didn't you remind me?"

    Shang Kexi bit the bullet and explained: "My lord, the general really doesn't know. I only know that this kind of castle is not easy to attack. I don't know what it looks like inside."

    Hauge gritted his teeth and said, "Reorganize your troops and withdraw slowly to prevent being chased by the enemy!"

    Only fools will continue to attack, Hauge can only choose to leave now.

    This kind of castle is terrible, the enemy is not damaged at all, and after several attacks before and after, I have suffered more than two thousand casualties.

    There are a total of two thousand Eight Banners warriors!

    This battle has nothing to do with morale, equipment, training, and organization. It is purely the first time that the Qing Dynasty encountered a bastion, and it was a bastion that was changed into a mess by the Datong Army.  He has no experience in dealing with it at all, and he will really go to hell if he doesn't lose.

    The Datong Army couldn't pursue immediately, and the outer trenches couldn't get through, so they had to build planks slowly.

    Temporary built gadgets are so troublesome.

 Text 447 [Turtle fight]

    Hauge left with the army on the front foot, and the smoke rose from the back foot of Pinlu Fort.

    The castle is too small to accommodate the musketeers and luggage, and it is already crowded.  It is impossible for Lu Xiangsheng's cavalry to be stationed here, and they all camped in the valley further south.

    In half a day, Lu Xiangsheng led more than a dozen cavalry, and joined 7,000 cavalry at a place several miles away from the Manchu army.

    Manqing's sentry cavalry had already noticed it, and was so frightened that they quickly went back to report.

    "The enemy has nearly 10,000 cavalry?" Hauge was shocked.

    It is really hard to count the overwhelming number of cavalry, and the Manchu spies can only make a rough estimate.

    Doni also ignored the factional struggles, and said with a stern face: "There are nearly ten thousand cavalry alone, and the enemy's infantry may be even more. You should cross the river immediately and join forces with the regent. Don't harvest the wheat for now."

    These guys came along the Daqing River, and they also harvested the wheat on the south bank of the Daqing River.

    Haug looked at the large wheat field, gritted his teeth and said, "Ignite fires everywhere, and burn all the wheat! Eight Banners warriors form a defensive formation, and the soldiers and civilian husbands cross the river with their luggage first!"

    This is not an escape, but a tactical retreat, and the Eight Banners soldiers did not run first.

    Probably hundreds of servants, holding torches, ran to the surrounding wheat fields to ignite the ripe wheat.

    Knowing that the Manchu Qing army was approaching, the peasants had gone into the mountains to hide a few days earlier.  Hauge couldn't plunder people and livestock, and now even cutting the wheat was dangerous, so he simply destroyed the wheat field in front of him.

    This situation made Hauge very depressed.

    Because before facing the Liaodong Frontier Army of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing always came and left whenever they wanted.  The frontier army of the Ming Dynasty could only be on guard at all times. When they found out that the Manchus were coming to grab grain, they organized the people to collect the grains in advance.

    Instead, the Datong army dared to send troops to prevent the Qing Dynasty from harvesting wheat!

    Lu Xiangsheng came with 7,000 brave cavalry, and first went to kill the soldier Bao Yi who set fire to the wheat field, and roared angrily: "Don't let go of the generation who has forgotten the ancestors!"

    These soldiers were separated by a long distance, and when they heard the sound of horseshoes, they threw away the torches and ran frantically in the direction of the Manqing formation.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The Manchu and Qing artillery fired together to prevent the cavalry of Datong from advancing.

    Lu Xiangsheng only had cavalry in his hands, and he didn't dare to attack the enemy's formation, or even get too close.  They could only watch helplessly as several wheat fields closer to the Qing army were burned.

    Throughout the battle, the Manchu Qing belonged to the offensive side, and the Datong Army belonged to the defensive side.

    The defender is even more passive!

    ?Not only is the force at a disadvantage, but it is also necessary to defend the three cities and the farmland around the three cities.  Gaizhou City and Pinglubao are the most convenient route for the Manchus to send troops. The Manchus can also go in other directions to drill valleys, and they have to fortify everywhere and send out sentries.

    Only by figuring out the main direction of the Manchu Qing can the Datong Army slowly gather.

    When Haoge attacked Pinglu Fort, the Datong Army further south was already gathering towards Gaizhou, but it would take two or three days.

    Hauge rode a horse and stood in the formation of the Chinese army on the bank, facing Lu Xiangsheng far away, neither side made any further moves.

    It wasn't until the artillery of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was also shipped to the opposite bank one after another that Lu Xiangsheng ordered the cavalry to step forward to put out the fire and prevent the fire from spreading to other wheat fields.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The Manchu and Qing artillery were mounted on the opposite bank, and began shelling again to cover the other Eight Banners soldiers crossing the river.

    Lu Xiangsheng looked at it like that, and he had achieved his goal.  This battle has only two purposes, first, to defend the city; second, to prevent the Manchus from taking too much food.

    Just drive Haug's army across the river and prevent them from harvesting grain.

    As for how many casualties can be caused to the enemy, it doesn't really matter.  Just wait for the time. This is the first year, when the Datong Army was at its weakest in Liaodong, and after two or three years, the situation can be completely reversed.

    Liaodong is too far away, and the transportation of military rations is not easy.

    The grain transportation team from the south encountered a storm some time ago, and one ship sank because of this, and several other ships were damaged in many places.

    Even if the Eight Banners Army can be severely damaged this time, the Datong Army will not be able to continue to expand northward, and at most take the opportunity to occupy two more coastal cities.

    The heavy infantry and firecrackers of the Han Army Banner once again became the last troops to cross the river.

    Lu Xiangsheng did not choose to charge, because there were enemy artillery on the opposite bank, and there were Han army gunners on the bank.  Even if he could kill the last enemies who crossed the river, his cavalry would definitely suffer casualties. This kind of life-changing is not worthwhile.

    After Haoge crossed the river and left, Xiao Zongxian's firearms soldiers followed, dragging some artillery and luggage.

    "It looks like a big battle is going to be fought in Gaizhou City.", and a total of hundreds of thousands of servants and civilian husbands surrounded Gaizhou City.

    In Gaizhou City, there is only one division of Hu Dinggui and the peasants who have withdrawn into the city from the surrounding areas.

    Twenty miles to the south of Gaizhou City, there are reinforcements from Li Zheng, Xiao Zongxian, and Lu Xiangsheng. There are more than 20,000 regular soldiers (some are left in Pinglu Fort), and there are also a large number of farmers, soldiers and peasants.

    A few miles to the west of Gaizhou City is the navy of the Datong Army, which is bombarding the forts of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

    We fought for half a month, all in shelling, digging ditches and building earthen walls.

    No one wants to take the initiative to attack, because they can't rush in.  For all kinds of fortifications, whoever rushes will die, and the attacker will always suffer more.

    "What if the enemy's reinforcements don't come?" Hauge was a little depressed.

    Dorgon said: "Wait for a while, the enemy will definitely show his weakness."

    War is like this, see who can't stand it first.

    The Ming Dynasty fought against the Manchu Qing, and it was the same in many cases.  The two sides froze completely, the Ming could not defeat the Manchus, and the Manchus could not break through the city.

    Under normal circumstances, the Manchu Qing army ran out of supplies, so they chose to withdraw their troops.

    But many times it is not normal, such as reinforcements underestimating the enemy, or the court urging the reinforcements to fight quickly, or there are traitors in the city-the defenders of Liaodong, some of whom are Mongols.  Several cities were lost due to the surrender of the Mongols.

    Li Zheng has a calm personality, which is true in fighting and dealing with others.

    Although he decided to set up camp and wait for the enemy to show his weakness, he still asked sincerely: "General Lu and General Xiao, how do you think we should fight?"

    Xiao Zongxian had the highest qualifications, and said: "General Lu must have a clever plan."

    Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "The best strategy is to stand still until the Tartars' rations are exhausted."

    Li Zheng also had the same idea, and immediately made a decision: "I will immediately notify the navy and tell them not to confront the Tartars. Hurry up to North Korea and urge North Korea to get more food."

    "That's the reason." Lu Xiangsheng likes the atmosphere of the Datong Army. Although there are also township party phenomena, overall there are not so many intrigues.

    There will be no such thing as the imperial court urging troops to enter!

    When the Datong Army fought against the Eight Banners Army, North Korea was the first to have a headache, because the navy went to Ganghwa Island for a walk again, and they would not leave without giving a few thousand shi of food.

    ?The Datong Army does not bully people, trades fairly, and pays high prices for grain purchased.  The genius remembers the address of this site in a second.

 Text 448【Mutual Injury】

    In Gaizhou city.

    Hu Dinggui asked: "How much food and grass are left?"

    "More than a month." The quartermaster replied.

    Hu Dinggui said: "The soldiers and civilians all reduce their meals. When the food is eaten, the livestock are killed, and the livestock are eaten and the horses are killed. Except for the cattle, the rest can be eaten."

    The quartermaster suggested: "You can kill some livestock first, so that you can save fodder."

    "Very well, follow your idea." Hu Dinggui said.

    Although Gaizhou City hoarded the most grain and grass, the nearby farmers all withdrew into the city, and he had to feed the people with grain.

    It has been almost a month, and the Manchu Qing artillery is still attacking the city.

    Fortunately, the Tartars have no real heavy artillery!

    If Zhao Han blasted down Shangqiu's heavy artillery and fired a few at random, the city walls of Gaizhou would probably have collapsed.

    Ten miles south of the city.

    Lu Xiangsheng led the Xiao cavalry to attack, slashed and killed the soldiers who were destroying the crops, and then trembled with the Manchu cavalry.  The two sides suffered casualties and retreated to their camps.

    The wheat for several miles around the camps of both sides was harvested by the peasants.

    The Manchus also harvested a lot of wheat, and Lu Xiangsheng couldn't stop it.  But if the Manchus went forward to collect grain, he would attack resolutely, and no one would touch the wheat in the two or three miles between the two sides!

    Dorgon also came out on a horse, looking at Lu Xiangsheng who was gradually retreating, he was already very anxious.

    Man Qing's consistent tactics against the Ming army no longer work!

    He couldn't cut off the Datong Army's retreat, nor could he cut off the Datong Army's food road.  Because the Datong army camped by the sea, there were trenches and earthen walls, and food could be continuously transported from the sea.

    Back at the barracks, Nurhachi’s seventh son, Abatai, said: “Prince Regent, withdraw the troops. These southern barbarians are obviously going to consume our military rations. If we keep dragging on, whoever runs out of military rations first will definitely lose the battle. I  I heard that the south of the Yangtze River is rich and has a lot of food, and we have more food than the barbarians in the South."

    "Wait a little longer, the enemy must have revealed its weakness." Dorgon said boldly.

    The leaders of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties for three consecutive generations were very gambling.

    It can even be said that Manchu Qing was able to become bigger because of repeated bets.  Because of many battles, only on the surface data, the Man Qing had no possibility of winning.

    At critical moments, the Daming Frontier Army can always make trouble.

    In this way, another half month passed, and on the 40th day after the Manchu Qing bombarded Gaizhou City, the navy returned from North Korea with a grain transport fleet.

    The king of North Korea cried out that there was no food, and the navy soldiers were unambiguous, and directly bombarded the forts on Ganghwa Island.

    Continuously shelled for three days, and then sent troops to land.

    After the Datong Navy occupied the fort, the defenders on the island surrendered directly.  Not only occupied Ganghwa Island, but also "rescued" dozens of political prisoners who had been exiled to the island.

    These political prisoners have clans and ministers, and they can completely reorganize the imperial court.

    The North Korean monarchs and ministers were so frightened that they immediately ordered the search of the people.  The people did not have enough food, so they "borrowed food" from small and medium-sized landlords, forcing them to sell their stored food to the Datong army.

    Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "We have enough food, and we are not afraid of exhausting the Tartars. Why don't we send a part of the army to transport the cavalry to the rear of the Tartars by sea."

    "Good idea!" Xiao Zongxian clapped his hands in praise.

    Li Zheng made a decision: "2500 dragoons, 2500 Xiao cavalry, and some Liaodong guides."

    Liaohe Estuary.

    The location of the Daliao River in the Ming Dynasty was completely different from that of hundreds of years later.

    Five thousand cavalrymen landed at the mouth of Liaohe River. Li Dingguo, who was promoted, was thrown by Zhao Han to Liaodong for training.  In this attack around the rear, Li Dingguo commanded 2,500 Xiao cavalry, and Wang Tingchen commanded 2,500 dragoons.

    When the nearby fishermen saw the fleet coming, they didn't know what was going on, they just fled back home and hid.

    Li Dingguo led his troops to the east of the Sancha River, and Wang Tingchen led his troops to the west of the Sancha River.  When they saw the houses, they rushed in and ordered the coastal people to move out with their families. They were not allowed to bring any extra things except food and bedding.

    However, anyone who resists will be executed immediately!

    In half a day, only thousands of civilians were captured. This damn place is really sparsely populated.

    "General, to the northeast is Yaozhou City built by the Tartars!" said the local guide in Liaodong.

    Li Dingguo said with a smile: "Then go to Yaozhou to have fun!"

    Two thousand and five hundred Xiaoqi rode straight to Yaozhou, and encountered a manor on the way, which seemed to be quite densely populated.

    Manors of this scale were at least owned by the middle-class nobles of the Qing Dynasty.  They appointed the coating to take care of it. If we use the farm of Daming as an analogy, coating is equivalent to the management of domestic slaves.?? Burned, killed and looted in coastal areas.

    Snatch all the way, almost to Jinzhou!

    South of Gaizhou City.

    When Dorgon received the report from the fast horse, he fell silent for a while.

    This kind of thing has been encountered before.  Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town once took advantage of the Manchu Qing troops to burn, kill and loot the hinterland of the Manchu Qing from behind.

    At that time, Huang Taiji was disgusted, but there was no way to deal with it.  Those small sampans of the Manchu Qing would never even try to break into Phi Island, as they would not be able to carry them at sea.

    Dorgon also wanted to send troops to plunder, but the farmers in Gaizhou had already withdrawn, leaving only the wheat that was too late to harvest.

    Now, don't harvest the wheat, no one wants to harvest it.

    Because of the stalemate for more than forty days, the harvest time has long passed, and the mature wheat has germinated on the ground.

    Do you want to go back and boil maltose?

    ?Because of the Manchu Qing's actions, 60% of the wheat in Gaizhou could not be harvested, and the farmers' hard work for half a year was in vain.

    Anyway, they hurt each other. The Datong army went to grab the population of the Manchus, and the Manchus made Gaizhou 60% of the wheat grains without harvest.

    Just when Dorgon was about to withdraw his troops

    "Boom!"

    With a loud noise, the city wall of Gaizhou collapsed.

    Dorgon drew his sword and shouted: "Siege the city with all your strength!"

    Hu Dinggui calmly ordered: "All the dragoons are turned into firecrackers, rattan players and pikemen, and block the gap for me. Farmers, soldiers, common people, old and weak, women and children all go into battle! ?

 Text 449【A follower of Bodhisattva Zhao】

    "Peasants and soldiers go to battle!"

    "Peasants and soldiers go to battle!"

    When Liu Dazhang heard the missionary officer's voice, he stood up immediately and picked up the iron-headed wooden gun he had made.

    Suddenly, Liu Dazhang put away the wooden gun again, and rushed into a room with the rope.  He tied up his pregnant wife and said to the women and children in the house who could not join the war: "Help watch over me, don't be a spy for the Tartars!"

    "Captain Liu, go, we will take care of you!" said another pregnant woman.

    Liu Dazhang's wife cried: "I'm going to give birth to you, and you still can't believe me?"

    "We'll talk about it after you give birth to the cub." Liu Dazhang put down his sentence, and went out with his gun without looking back.

    Liu Dazhang's wife was his former mistress, a Manchu woman who was taken away by the Datong army.

    As for those in the house, most of them were snatched back.  There are Manchu women, Han women, and even Mongolian women.  They are all pregnant, and the Liaodong Peninsula is about to usher in a wave of births.

    Too many people were evacuated from the city, and the houses were almost not enough to live in. These pregnant women were taken care of intensively.

    "The peasant soldiers go out to fight, the peasant soldiers go out to fight!"

    Liu Dazhang yelled along the way that he was still a serf last year, but this year he has become the captain of the Datong Army's peasant soldiers, and he is in charge of 30 Liaodong peasant soldiers.

    Not far away, Jin Guozhen also brought the farmers over.

    Jin Guozhen was in command of the Korean peasants and soldiers, who were all Korean serfs captured by the Qing Dynasty. It was the Datong Army who liberated them and divided them into fields for farming.

    There are also a large number of non-pregnant women who are also organized to carry supplies, and they can also go into battle with weapons at critical moments.  These are the families of the soldiers of the 11th Division. Parents and children stay in their hometown, and the wives move to Liaodong to live with their husbands.

    Outside the city of Gaizhou, the Manchus were ready to attack.

    Jin Guozhen didn't even need a mission officer to boost morale, but he said to the North Korean peasants and soldiers: "We were all taken away from North Korea by the Tartars. Ten of us left our hometown, and at most one or two are still alive. There is not enough food, the Tartars  Just let us starve to death; if it is too cold in winter, we will freeze to death. We usually farm the land for the Tartars, and we can’t get enough to eat. Do you still want to live like that?”

    "I don't want to!" North Korean peasants and soldiers roared.

    Jin Guozhen also said: "The heavenly soldiers and generals of the Datong Army rescued us from the Tartars. Many of you have no surnames. The Datong Army let you have your own surnames. What a kindness!  I will give you surnames, but the Tartars will not give you surnames. Only the Datong Army will give you surnames. The Datong Army will also allocate fields for you, and assign women to marry and start families. If Gaizhou City is captured, your fields will be gone.  , your homes are gone, your wives are gone, and your surnames are gone. Do you want to work hard with the Datong Army?"

    "Fight! Fight!"

    The North Korean peasants and soldiers roared hysterically, as if they could jump out at any time and bite the enemy with their teeth.

    Jin Guozhen pointed to a peasant soldier and asked, "What's your name?"

    "Zhao Dinggui!" The farmer replied.

    Jin Guozhen asked again: "Why is it called Zhao Dinggui!"

    Zhao Dinggui roared and replied: "Zhao of Datong Emperor Zhao Bodhisattva, Dinggui of General Hu Dinggui!"

    Jin Guozhen asked another person: "What's your name?"

    The peasant soldier replied: "Hu kill the captives, Hu of General Hu, kill all the captives of the Tartars!"

    Jin Guozhen said to the Korean peasants and soldiers: "You people, either follow the emperor's surname Zhao, or follow General Hu's surname Hu. Although you are all from North Korea, you will all be Chinese from now on, and you will be a well-known citizen of the Celestial Dynasty.  We are the people of Bodhisattva Zhao at birth, and Bodhisattva Zhao's ghost at death, long live His Majesty the Emperor Zhao Bodhisattva!"

    "Long live His Majesty Emperor Zhao Bodhisattva!"

    These Korean peasants and soldiers were almost fanatical, and their eyes were red.

    When the lord of North Korea surrendered, the Manchu Qing plundered half a million people from North Korea.  Either die of illness, or exhaustion, or freeze to death, or starve to death, or even be used as cannon fodder during the siege. At this time, one out of ten has already survived.

    They have suffered too much, even if they are honest serfs, they are very likely to die abnormally.  As long as there is a glimmer of hope, I never want to live a life of darkness again.

    Among the people in Liaodong, Zhao Han's nickname is not Zhao Tianwang or Mr. Zhao, but Zhao Bodhisattva who saves the suffering.

    There are no doctors in remote villages. If you are sick, you will kneel down and pray for the blessing of Zhao Bodhisattva.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The shelling is still going on, and the Qing artillery is aimed at the Datong artillery on the city wall.  The artillery of the Datong Army is aimed at thoseThe Eight Banners soldiers outside could only speed up and charge towards the city wall.

    "Boom!"

    A piece of sawdust flew out from the shattered car, and pierced Tulai's cheek hard.

    Although a tooth was knocked loose, this minor injury is nothing. The real headache is that the car is gone.  Tulai drew his sword and shouted: "Run and rush over!"

    Tulai is Obai's cousin. Historically, he participated in the Battle of Dalinghe, Songjin, and Shanhaiguan. He led troops to capture Emperor Hongguang and Emperor Longwu of Nanming.

    Both Tulai and Aobai brothers are Haoge's loyal confidantes, and they were thrown out by Dorgon to attack the city with their lives.

    A cannonball jumped from the ground, and the soldiers around Tulai were broken by the iron bullet, and then flew to the back and killed several of them one after another.

    This side has the fiercest firepower, because the front is the gap in the city wall that was blown down.

    "Lao Yang!"

    On the city wall, a group leader roared in grief.

    However, not far from him, Yang Ye, the artillery commander of the 11th Division of the Datong Army, was killed.

    Yang Ye was born as a scholar. He was proficient in arithmetic when he was young, and later studied mathematics systematically.  He had only been in the army for four years. Because of his talent, he was promoted very quickly, but now he died unexpectedly in Gaizhou.

    It was really an accident, Yang Ye was directing the artillery to adjust the angle, when a full cannonball flew over, smashing the bricks of the female wall into the air, and then the bricks hit Yang Ye's head.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The artillery of the Datong Army vented their anger with shells.

    Tu Laizhen was running and charging, and a shell roared towards him.  He didn't feel it at first, as if he was rubbed by something, and the inertia led his body to lean back.

    After a few more seconds, Tulai felt severe pain: "Ah! Ah! My arm is gone!"

    The cannons used to defend the city are prone to ricochets because of the angle.  Tulai's arm was broken by a ricochet, and before the shells stopped, four more were killed and injured with blood stains.

    Suddenly, the artillery from both sides stopped one after another.

    ?Because the Manchu Qing siege troops were approaching the city, the Manchu artillery stopped for fear of accidental injury, and the Datong artillery stopped because the angle was too large to hit.

    The Manchu Qing successfully pushed over a dozen carts, and there were also many ladders with wooden shields.

    Most of the chariots are in front of the gap in the city wall, but it is a pity that Gaizhou City did not imitate the bastion, and used the sharp-angled enemy towers like Ningyuan, which formed a short-term dead angle of firepower, and neither firecrackers nor bows could attack the enemies behind the chariot.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Manchu firearms stood on the steps of the chariot and fired at the gap in the city wall through the shooting holes.

    The fallen wall formed a three-meter-high, twelve-meter-wide, and six-meter-thick earth-rock platform.

    The ladder was erected, and Oboi commanded the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and quickly climbed up the earth-rock platform along the ladder.  After climbing up half of his body, he lay on the edge of the earth-stone platform and pulled Manqing's heavy arrow away with all his strength.

    Before they shot heavy arrows, thousands of enemies were smashed down on the city walls on both sides.

 Body 450 [Array of Oboi]

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The Eight Banners of Manchuria, which was about to shoot heavy arrows, was suddenly blown up by more than ten thousand enemies.

    Explosion is an adjective, because it is less powerful, and it depends on the exploding shrapnel to hurt people.  The most disgusting thing is that it is mixed with lime and chili noodles. Not only the Eight Banners soldiers who are shooting heavy arrows suffer, but even the follow-up troops climbing the ladder can't open their eyes.

    "Rush again!"

    Aobai covered his mouth and nose, stood behind the car and yelled.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Just when Oboi reorganized his charge, the artillery on the city rang out again.  It was Dorgon who suddenly invested a large number of troops on both sides of the north city wall. The Datong Army stopped firing just now, and it was also adjusting the shooting direction.

    The generals of the Qing army who often attacked the city under artillery fire were very keen to find that the artillery of the Datong army seemed to concentrate on the gap in the defense wall.

    So the Eight Banners soldiers gave up the chariot and ran quickly carrying a simple ladder.

    ?Because the tunnels of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties had been dug very far ahead, when the Datong Army adjusted the artillery positions, thousands of Eight Banners soldiers had already rushed out of the artillery range.  The artillery of the Datong Army can only hit the tail of the enemy troops.

    It is not the negligence of the defenders, but the method of tunneling and attacking the city has worked. The tunneling work forty to fifty days before the Qing Dynasty was not for nothing.

    Of course, they rushed to the city so quickly, and they couldn't carry a real siege ladder.

    A real ladder, like a cart, has to be pushed, and the speed is not much faster than a cart.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The guns couldn't shoot at an angle, and the firecrackers on the city wall opened fire one after another.

    These Eight Banners soldiers rushed out of the range of the artillery, but they were not really close to the city wall. They could not attack with rolling logs or falling rocks, and could only use firecrackers or bows and arrows.

    At the cost of more than 300 people coming back, thousands of firecrackers ran sideways, carrying simple wooden ladders to the vicinity of the gap in the city wall.

    Thousands of enemies can't hit them, or in other words, these Eight Banners soldiers follow their mouths and noses, ignoring the explosion of ten thousand enemies at all.  Anyway, the explosion is not very powerful, and after wearing double armor, they are not afraid of shrapnel. As long as they can hold lime and chili noodles, at most they will be injured by shrapnel, and those who are killed on the spot are unlucky.

    Finally, the Eight Banners soldiers attacked the earth-stone platform where the city wall had collapsed, and the Eight Banners soldiers behind them also threw stabbing arrows.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    There was a salvo of firecrackers head-on, and with the cooperation of tens of thousands of enemies, Man Qing's round of offensive failed again, and the survivors who rushed forward fled in succession.

    "kill!"

    Aobai hacked a rout soldier to death, led the charge with a limp leg, and climbed up as quickly as a normal person.

    The firecrackers had already retreated to reload, and the rattan players and pikemen quickly made up for it, poking at the enemy at the edge of the earth-rock platform.

    This position is very narrow and cannot accommodate many firecrackers. If all of them are replaced with flintlock guns, more will definitely be able to stand.

    The rattan players of the Datong Army squatted and raised their shields to protect their bodies. If they stood up, their legs would be cut off easily.  The pikemen stuck behind them, stabbed their spears above the shield, and killed the Eight Banners soldiers who were trying to climb up.

    Aobai was shot twice, but he dodged in time, so he was not hit vitally, and even suffered only minor injuries after wearing the double armor.

    This guy was extremely fierce, seeing that he was about to be poked down, he even reached out and grabbed a rattan token, trying to drag the rattan token player down together.

    The rattan player could only give up the shield, swung his knife and looked at Aobai's left hand holding the shield.

    The middle finger and ring finger of Aobai's left hand were cut off on the spot, and his whole body fell from the simple wooden ladder.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    The Manchu and Qing archers in the rear shot heavy arrows obliquely upwards from close range.

    In an instant, there were more than a dozen spears with arrows in their hands, and a few heavy arrows from the Qing Dynasty even shot through the rattan badge of the Datong Army.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    More than 200,000 enemy bombs were thrown down again, and they were thrown at the Eight Banners soldiers gathered in the rear.  The gunfire soldiers also moved to the city wall and shot at the Eight Banners soldiers below.

    At the same time, the firearms soldiers of the Han Army Banner of Wuzhenchao Harbin also shot at the Datong Army on the earth-stone platform.

    Until now, this place has finally turned into a flesh and blood mill, and the number of casualties on both sides is rising linearly.

    After being shot out of the gap by heavy arrows and firecrackers, the Eight Banners soldiers in the front row took the opportunity to rush up the earth and stone platform, and the offensive and defensive sides fought together in complete melee.

    However, the death rate in close combat has decreased instead. Everyone is armored, and the enemy cannot be hacked to death even after a long time.  On the contrary, it is firecrackers and tens of thousands of enemies, which have been causing damage to the enemy's follow-up troops.  The enemy's stabbing arrows are also constantly thrown, and they can always hit a few Datong troops in the rear.

    Siege battles broke out on the east and west walls at this time.

    The soldiers of the Eight Banners pushed the chariot and the ladder, and soon approached the city."While the two brothers were whispering, Man Dahai's soldiers with red flags were ordered by Dorgon to step up their attack.

    Man Dahai didn't dare to disobey the military order, so he had to send troops to push the carts and ladders, and ran to the north city wall to attack the city. The pressure on Hauge's two blue flags suddenly dropped.

    At the gap in the city wall, corpses have piled up into mountains.

    ? Since the two sides strangled each other, the Datong Army has only retreated four meters on the earth-rock platform, and the price paid is more than 300 people killed in battle.

    As for the Eight Banners soldiers who attacked the gap, thousands of them were killed and more than 2,000 were injured. Most of the wounded were bombed out by the enemy.

    Oboi, the number one warrior in Manchuria, became lame even though his leg injury healed.  Now, with two fingers cut off on his left hand and seven or eight wounds on his body, they are still fighting there.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Another ten thousand enemy bombs fell on them, and the Eight Banners soldiers who were climbing the earthen platform finally couldn't bear it, and were blown to pieces on the spot.

    "kill!"

    ?The Datong officer who led the team to guard the gap was called Li Fuguo. He took the opportunity to order a counterattack, and immediately transformed from a defensive position to a charge.

    "Well……"

    Aobai stared wide-eyed, then fell on his back and was stabbed in the throat by Li Fuguo.

    The Eight Banners soldiers of Tushitai were killed back, and the Datong Army once again fully grasped the gap in the city wall. The Manchu Qing had to reorganize an attack.

    Until now, this place has finally turned into a flesh and blood mill, and the number of casualties on both sides is rising linearly.

    After being shot out of the gap by heavy arrows and firecrackers, the Eight Banners soldiers in the front row took the opportunity to rush up the earth and stone platform, and the offensive and defensive sides fought together in complete melee.

    However, the death rate in close combat has decreased instead. Everyone is armored, and the enemy cannot be hacked to death even after a long time.  On the contrary, it is firecrackers and tens of thousands of enemies, which have been causing damage to the enemy's follow-up troops.  The enemy's stabbing arrows are also constantly thrown, and they can always hit a few Datong troops in the rear.

    Siege battles broke out on the east and west walls at this time.

    The soldiers of the Eight Banners pushed the chariot and the ladder, and soon approached the city."While the two brothers were whispering, Man Dahai's soldiers with red flags were ordered by Dorgon to step up their attack.

    Man Dahai didn't dare to disobey the military order, so he had to send troops to push the carts and ladders, and ran to the north city wall to attack the city. The pressure on Hauge's two blue flags suddenly dropped.

    At the gap in the city wall, corpses have piled up into mountains.

    ? Since the two sides strangled each other, the Datong Army has only retreated four meters on the earth-rock platform, and the price paid is more than 300 people killed in battle.

    As for the Eight Banners soldiers who attacked the gap, thousands of them were killed and more than 2,000 were injured. Most of the wounded were bombed out by the enemy.

    Oboi, the number one warrior in Manchuria, became lame even though his leg injury healed.  Now, with two fingers cut off on his left hand and seven or eight wounds on his body, they are still fighting there.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Another ten thousand enemy bombs fell on them, and the Eight Banners soldiers who were climbing the earthen platform finally couldn't bear it, and were blown to pieces on the spot.

    "kill!"

    ?The Datong officer who led the team to guard the gap was called Li Fuguo. He took the opportunity to order a counterattack, and immediately transformed from a defensive position to a charge.

    "Well……"

    Aobai stared wide-eyed, then fell on his back and was stabbed in the throat by Li Fuguo.

    The Eight Banners soldiers at Tushitai were killed back, and the Datong Army once again fully grasped the gap in the city wall. The Manchu Qing had to reorganize an attack.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 452【Encircling Wei and Rescuing Zhao】

    The Manchu and Qing positions in the west of the city were garrisoned by the Zhenghong Banner of Daishan and part of the Xianglan Banner of Jierhalang, and the rest were the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army.

    Daishan was old and didn't sleep very deeply, so he went out of the tent to check immediately when he heard the sound.

    Ji Erhalang came on horseback in person and said to Daishan: "The Nanman raided the fort along the river, and the fort over there has been lost, and the Wuzhenchaoha battalion near the fort has also collapsed."

    "How many enemy troops are there?" Daishan asked.

    Jierhalang said: "It's not clear yet, but there shouldn't be many, otherwise the enemy would have killed them long ago."

    Daishan said: "Organize a counterattack immediately and drive those southern barbarians into the sea!"

    The two marched in the direction of Lu Xiangsheng and Xiao Zongxian with more than 10,000 troops on horseback.

    Although the siege artillery of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties was covered by earthen walls, more than 20 of them were successively destroyed by the Datong army.  The more than 20 cannons of the fort along the river were also captured by Lu Xiangsheng and Xiao Zongxian's surprise attack, which is equivalent to losing about 50 artillery pieces.

    The remaining more than 130 artillery pieces are scattered on the east, west, and north sides of Gaizhou City, and only 40 cannons can be used on the west side.

    ? When the Eight Banners Army of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties pulled out from the siege position and assembled to attack westward, the follow-up troops of the reinforcements had already reached more than 4,000.  One thousand of them were artillery, and fifty artillery pieces were moved from the ship, and artillery positions were set up on the shore. The vanguard led by Lu Xiangsheng and Xiao Zongxian also dragged over twenty captured artillery pieces.

    Cao Zhenyan and other captives also worked hard. In order to make a good impression in front of the Datong Army, these surrendered Manchu artillerymen actively helped to transport the artillery to the seaside.

    Those who are not active are dead!

    Before the third batch of reinforcements arrived, Li Dingguo and Wang Tingchen returned.  They snatched all the way to the vicinity of Jinzhou, but both Ningyuan and Jinzhou had heavy troops, and they almost suffered a loss when they robbed the population.

    Seeing the Tartars pushing the chariot forward, the cavalry of the two immediately changed into infantry, helping to defend the temporary position first.

    Li Dingguo arranged the soldiers under his command, and ran quickly to see Lu Xiangsheng and Xiao Zongxian: "The first division and the second division are attacking Shanhaiguan, and the news has spread to Fuzhou City. We are going back to Fuzhou first this time.  , Jinzhou soldiers were dragged by General Wang and I for a few days. In a few days, we lost more than 300 cavalry, but it also delayed the Tartars to rescue Shanhaiguan for a few days."

    "Good!" Lu Xiangsheng clapped his hands happily.

    This is a long-established military plan. Once the Manchus attack Gaizhou, Zhang Tieniu and Fei Ruhe will go to Shanhaiguan.  They all went by boat. One departed from Dengzhou and landed east of Shanhaiguan, and the other departed from Tianjin and landed west of Shanhaiguan. The east and west attacked the defenders in Shanhaiguan.

    As long as Shanhaiguan is taken down, troops will be stationed there, and hungry people will be recruited to farm in the pass, as another base for sending troops to Liaodong in the future.

    This is a safe plan, and you can also cross the sea, cooperate with Li Zheng and Xiao Zongxian, and the four divisions will outflank Dorgon's rear, and directly wipe out the elite of the Eight Banners.  But the logistical pressure is too great. Once there is a storm, it is very likely that the whole army will be hungry. At this time, the Bohai Sea has entered a period of high incidence of storms. The navy only dares to sail along the coastline. Crossing the Bohai Sea is an extremely risky move. Transporting troops and food  All belong to high-risk behavior.

    Just when Daishan and Jierhalang were about to lead their troops to attack the reinforcement position, a fast horse galloped crazily from the north, and the horse was so tired that it was foaming at the mouth.

    "Your Highness, Shanhaiguan has been attacked from two sides, and Weiyuan Terrace has been occupied by Nanban a few days ago!" the messenger said while kneeling.

    Inside the handsome tent, there was a dead silence.

    ? Weiyuan Terrace, also known as Weiyuan City, is about one kilometer east of Shanhaiguan.  Historically, it was here that Wu Sangui asked to surrender and took refuge in the Qing Dynasty as a vanguard in entering the customs.

    Some people say that Weiyuan Terrace was built by Wu Sangui, but it actually existed as early as the Wanli Dynasty.

    If the Manchu Qing wanted to attack Shanhaiguan, they had to attack Weiyuantai first.  Moreover, there is a tunnel connecting Shanhaiguan and Weiyuantai, which can transport troops unexpectedly.

    Among the Datong Army, there were obviously knowledgeable people who quickly raided and captured Weiyuantai, and then blocked the troop transport passage.

    ?As for Shanhaiguan City, there are 6,000 Eight Banners troops stationed there, and there are more than 10,000 Eight Banners troops' families.

    The food in the city lasts for three or four months at most.

    If the coating and civilians are killed and eaten, they can last at most half a year.  If Dorgon is still spending with the Datong army in Gaizhou, even if he captures the city, if he cannot seize a large amount of food and grass, he will not be able to rescue Shanhaiguan.

    ?Because to rescue Shanhaiguan, Weiyuantai must be brought down first.  The Datong army only needs to defend the city, and Dorgon will be exhausted.

    Fight Gaizhou City, or save Shanhaiguan?

    Dorgon only felt?!  "Hu Dinggui was on the city tower, patting the remaining railings that were bombarded.

    Don't dare to chase immediately, for fear that Manqing is luring the enemy out of the city.

    ? Seeing the Manchu Qing army leave camp, Li Yangxing, who was left behind, was almost desperate.  He was born as a soldier of Kong Youde, and he did well in the Qing Dynasty, but no matter how well he did, he became an abandoned son.

    Dorgon summoned Li Yangxing in person just now: "Fight hard, the longer the better. I will take good care of your wife and children. Your eldest son will be given a hereditary title. Your youngest son will stay by my side as a follower."  .”

    How else could Li Yangxing choose?

    ?If you sacrifice your life to stop the Datong army, you can get your wife and children safe, and you can get your sons' wealth.  If he dared to surrender before the battle, the whole family would die tragically, and after surrendering to the Datong Army, there would probably be nothing good to eat.

    The disheartened Li Yangxing said to the Eight Banners of the Han Army under his command: "To kill the enemy and serve the country is today, and guard the camp well!"

    The morale of these Wuzhenchao soldiers is extremely low, who the hell wants to die?

    These Wuzhenchao soldiers have extremely low morale, who the hell wants to die?  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 454【Persistent Consumption】

    "Master, let me take the main attack this time, so I have to let out a bad breath!" Li Fuguo walked up to Hu Dinggui quickly, kneeling on one knee in violation of the regulations and begging to play.

    Although the military system of the Datong Army, the official documents all write division commander, deputy division commander, captain, and deputy captain, but the soldiers who have read the book are still habitually called: division commander, division deputy, team leader, and team deputy.

    Including the director and deputy director of the Civil Service, they are also called: the head of the department and the deputy of the department.

    More than 80% of the hundreds of soldiers killed by the city defenders this time belonged to Li Fuguo's regiment.

    Hu Dinggui thought: "Your regiment suffered too many casualties, so let's attack with Lao Jiang. Also, if you stand up and speak, you will agree if you don't kneel."

    "Yes!" Li Fuguo stood up immediately.

    Li Fuguo is the grand-nephew of Li Banghua's family, and the family relationship has been broken.  But who made Li Banghua occupy a high position, and relatives who couldn't get along with him also came to build relationships with him one after another.

    The power of the Li family in the military and political system is no different from that of the Fei family, so there is no queen to blow pillows.

    The defenders in the city mobilized their soldiers and horses, and rushed towards Li Yangxing's broken army.

    As for the reinforcements by the sea, they will take boats again and transport troops to block the back of the main force of the Eight Banners.  However, Li Dingguo and Wang Tingchen were still separated to lead the cavalry to catch up with the main force of the Eight Banners.

    But you have to make a detour, the passage to the north is relatively narrow, and Li Yangxing blocked the way.

    Li Dingguo and Wang Tingchen led the cavalry from the west of the city through the earth wall and ditch, galloped along the north wall towards the northeast, and then passed through the earth wall and ditch to the mountain area in the north.  Bypassing the Manchu Qing camp where Li Yangxing was stationed, he led his horse up the hillside and then went down, and then galloped all the way to catch up with the main force of the Manchu Qing.

    On the side of the Manchu camp, Li Fuguo and Jiang Lin attacked from the front, while the other ministries, farmers and soldiers surrounded them from both sides.

    The camps here are too big. After the main forces of the Manchu and Qing dynasty withdrew, many places became empty camps, but the various fortifications were still very disgusting, and many places needed to be built with planks to pass.

    Li Yangxing belonged to the battle of trapped beasts, leading three thousand Wu Zhenchaoha and a large number of civilians, and shrank in the core camp left by Dorgon.

    The battle has not yet begun, and these soldiers at the bottom of the Han army banner have made up their minds to take the opportunity to surrender.

    Dorgon took care of Li Yangxing's wife and children, but no one took care of their wives and children. Maybe the orphans and widows would be taken over by others.  That being the case, why would you risk your life for Man Qing to end it?

    Li Yangxing said to the soldiers under his command: "For the Ming Dynasty, we are all defectors and traitors. The civil and military forces of the Nanman Emperor were all defected by the Ming court. Even if we surrendered, the Nanmanzi would kill us and beat us all.  Get up and work hard!"

    The bannermen of the Han army were silent when they heard the words, and while feeling desperate, they also resented Dorgon for letting them die.

    They are all unbelieving soldiers. They don't know why they are fighting. They are good at robbing and killing with the wind, and they are also brave in fighting with the army. After staying behind, their morale immediately drops to zero.

    Li Yangxing's army was annihilated by Li Dingguo in history!

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The Datong Army began shelling.

    "Run!"

    The first ones to collapse were the civilians. A total of 20,000 civilian troops collapsed at the moment of shelling.

    Immediately afterwards, the Eight Banners of the Han Army of Wuzhenchao Haying also fled.

    Dorgon had already guessed that this was the case, so he left 20,000 civilians behind.  Either let them fight a blocking battle, or let them flee in all directions. The Datong Army has to spend time and troops to arrest them, so that it can create opportunities for the main force of the Manchu Qing to retreat.

    The expected tough battle suddenly turned into a pursuit battle.

    Only Li Yangxing and more than a hundred soldiers remained in the core camp and did not escape, while the rest collapsed on the battlefield.

    Dorgon's strategy has worked. At least Hu Dinggui's main infantry will not be able to pursue it within a day or two.  Not only to capture the prisoners, but also to identify, place and guard the prisoners. Only Wu Huapu led the dragoons to the north.

    ?When Li Fuguo and Jiang Lin led troops to attack the front of the formation, more than a hundred people around Li Yangxing, facing the Datong army twenty times their own, put down their weapons and chose to surrender.

    Some of Li Yangxing's personal soldiers even tied Li Yangxing's neck with knives, tied them up and marched out of the camp to surrender.

    ?Walking halfway, Li Yangxing begged his soldiers: "Kill me quickly, take my head and surrender, don't let me suffer the crime of living again. For the sake of old love, I beg you to give me a knife."

    The guards turned a deaf ear to it, and the general surrendered after the detainment was released, maybe he could make meritorious deeds in exchange for his own life.

    When Li Fuguo saw Li Yangxing, he cross-examined him, and when he learned of his identity, he immediately sarcastically said: "A good dog, you also??Treatment of the chief general: Although the friendly army is by his side, the result is that he does not work hard!

    And Li Dingguo also found the rhythm, when Babutai used the old routine of the Manchu and Qing cavalry to disperse into countless strands to fight.  He mixed the Xiao cavalry into the dragon cavalry, and when the enemy scattered soldiers shot arrows, he used the dragon cavalry to shoot at each other, and when the enemy gathered troops to charge, he used the Xiao cavalry to charge and kill.

    When Li Zicheng encountered the tactics of the Manchus, he chose to abandon his defense and fight in melee with his speed advantage.

    Li Dingguo had dragoons in his hands, and he fought more smoothly, completely forming a tactical suppression of the Manchu and Qing cavalry.

    Of course, there are too few cavalry in Datong. Even with the support of dragoons, the casualties are relatively heavy during the charge, and the casualty exchange ratio of 1:1.3 can be played.

    It's just that the Manchu and Qing cavalry suffered more deaths, while the Datong cavalry suffered more injuries. This is the victory of firecrackers over bows and arrows.

    ?After fighting for about a quarter of an hour, Li Dingguo seized the short opportunity of the enemy's gathering and dispersing, and summoned 500 brave cavalry to go straight to Babutai's main formation.

    "Shooting arrows!" Babutai yelled in panic.

    Five hundred Xiao cavalry, facing the arrows of the Manchu cavalry, continued to rush towards Babutai without risking their lives.

    Li Dingguo was hit by two arrows one after another. The arrows were stuck in the armor, shaking constantly with the ups and downs of the horse.  He took the lead, holding the gun to overthrow the enemy in front of him, then drew his gun and swept across, and swept the other enemy off his horse.

    The lord general was so brave, the brave knights under his command were so energetic that they rushed into the enemy's line without hesitation.

    When Li Dingguo stabbed the third enemy cavalry, the opposite was actually an elite warrior who caught Li Dingguo's cavalry the moment he fell off the horse.  Li Dingguo quickly abandoned his spear, pulled out his waist knife, and continued to rush towards Babutai.

    Among Nurhachi's sons, there are also some cowards, such as Babutai in front of him.

    Babutai was dismissed from all military posts because of losing the city and land.  Although he has been reinstated long ago, his title is only the third-class Fengguo general, and he is a scumbag among Nurhachi's sons.

    Seeing that Li Dingguo was getting closer and closer, and was almost surrounded by Manchu cavalry, Babutai didn't think about leading his troops to surround and kill him, but his first reaction was to turn his horse's head and run away!

    Babutai's personal guards tried their best to stop him, Li Dingguo killed two people in a row again, blocked the third person's weapon, and rushed behind Babutai on his horse.

    While running away, Babutai turned his head and looked back, suddenly frightened out of his wits.

    "Drive!"

    Babutai stabbed the horse's butt frantically, and the BMW under his crotch sprinted in pain, and quickly pulled out two positions with Li Dingguo.

    Li Dingguo's mount is a horse Wali castrated stallion, this kind of horse is only partially served in the Datong Xiao cavalry.  But the commanders at all levels of the Xiao cavalry are all riding horses!

    Li Dingguo's boots are equipped with spurs, and with his feet clamped, he immediately accelerated and chased Babutai's side.

    brush!

    With a knife, the light of the knife crossed.

    Quickly lowered his body to dodge, and the whole body lay down on the horse's back.

    The two were driving side by side, Babutai stood up and swung his knife, and Li Dingguo shot down Babutai's weapon with a single blow.  Then he leaned out sideways, chose to abandon the knife and reached out, grabbed Babutai's cotton armor, and directly pulled Babutai off the horse's back.

    Then, get used to the ground hard.

    Babutai's soldiers in the rear galloped to the rescue, but in a hurry to dodge, the guy was trampled to death by his own soldiers with horseshoes.

    "The enemy general is dead!"

    Li Dingguo, who had lost all his weapons, rode his horse with empty hands and shouted. He avoided the blade of the enemy cavalry in a very thrilling manner, and had already smashed through Babutai's main formation.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 455【The Manchus also want to train dragoons】

    In fact, the Manchu Qing had no shortage of population, because tens of thousands of Han people were brought back from Northern Zhili, and many slaves were captured in North Korea and Mongolia.

    Only the banners are missing, that is, the source of soldiers for the Eight Banners of Manchuria!

    Dorgon retreated to Yaozhou, while raising military rations, while conscription and reorganization, the number of troops in the Eight Banners quickly recovered to 100,000.

    But the 100,000 Eight Banners soldiers at this time are not the same as the 100,000 a few years ago.

    ?Shandong, Henan, and Liaodong were defeated several times, and the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Eight Banners of Mongolia, although they were replenished to about 70,000 people.  But firstly, the combat effectiveness of the army has declined, and secondly, there are fewer and fewer bannermen available for recruitment.

    For the Eight Banners of the Han Army, the decline in combat effectiveness was even more obvious, with losses of nearly 20,000 before and after.  After the replenishment and reorganization, many Han Eight Banners guarding the city have surrendered their troops and generals in the past two years.

    The military and political system of the Qing Dynasty was impossible to recuperate, and it was necessary to maintain a large number of troops for a long time.

    Especially in the face of a downturn, it is even more necessary to expand our troops and prepare for war.  Only in this way can the savage Jurchen be subdued, the foreign vassal Mongolia be subdued, and the Korean monarchs and ministers be subdued.

    Further north of the grassland, Khalkha Mongolia is eyeing.

    The Mongolian tribe that the Manchu Qing attacked and plundered last time was only the Chechen Khan tribe in Khalkha Mongolia, and this alone could mobilize 30,000 cavalry.  In addition, the large tribes of Khalkha Mongolia, as well as the Tuxietuhan tribe and the Tuohuite tribe, all waited for the decline of the Qing Dynasty to make a vote.

    In the area around Lake Baikal, there are also Buryat Mongols, and the Balahu tribe borders on the territory of the Qing Dynasty.

    ? If Dorgon does not maintain the army, the outer Mongolia will rebel in minutes, and Khalkha Mongolia and Buryatia Mongolia will attack with large armies!

    It was delayed until mid-October, when the reorganized main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty set off from Jinzhou to rescue Shanhaiguan—if they didn’t go to the rescue, the Eight Banners defenders in Shanhaiguan would have to kill the people for military rations.  And when Dorgon besieged Gaizhou, more than 10,000 defenders in Ningyuan and Jinzhou had already gone to Shanhaiguan to rescue them once, losing more than 2,000 people and fleeing in embarrassment.

    The Manchu Qing army marched to Shaheyi, and Dorgon received a battle report from the vanguard: "Your Highness, the enemy is already withdrawing!"

    Dorgon's face was gloomy, and he ordered: "The whole army stops, and the vanguard battalion is ordered to take back Weiyuantai, and immediately stationed there to prevent the enemy's counterattack."

    The army came to the rescue, saving a lonely person.

    Dorgon's main force is still nearly a hundred miles away from Shanhaiguan, and the vanguard is only 40 miles away from Shanhaiguan.

    With such a distance, those damn southern barbarians just ran away by boat!

    It was completely a war of attrition of grain and grass. Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu besieged Shanhaiguan without attacking it, wasting three months of military rations in vain.  Dorgon brought a large army to the rescue, and even if there was no battle, he had to consume a lot of rations.

    Let's see who can't hold it first.

    Afraid that the Datong Army would come again, the small Weiyuantai was deployed by Dorgon with 2,000 defenders.  With so many soldiers, Weiyuan Terrace was crowded with people, and they had to be stationed nearby at ordinary times, and they could only retreat in and hold their ground in case of a war.

    Just when Dorgon was done with the withdrawal, he received news again: "Your Highness, the Nanmans are looting the countryside of Yaozhou and Haizhou, and are spreading lime everywhere in the plowed farmland!"

    "Liming?" Dorgon didn't understand.

    The messenger explained: "According to the nobleman who knows farming, if lime is sprinkled on the field, the crop yield will be reduced in the next year. If there is too much lime, the seeds will not germinate."

    The lime mentioned here is quicklime!

    Dorgon was stunned when he heard that, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "What a vicious heart, how is this different from burning down the pastures in the grassland?"

    As far as the Liaodong Peninsula, there are lime mines in the mountainous area east of Fuzhou City.

    Zhao Han sent some craftsmen over to burn cement in Liaodong. Each town built a simple fortress, and most of the lime mining workers were prisoners of war.

    After the Gaizhou Defense War, cement production was temporarily suspended, and quicklime was burned in large quantities!

    Thousands of dragoons, each with two horses, set off with dozens of catties of quicklime.  Just tie it horizontally on the horse's back like that, and poke a hole in the sack when encountering land with less weeds, and sprinkle it along the way while the horse gallops.

    At this time, it was already snowing in Liaodong, and quicklime was sprinkled on the snow, so it was guaranteed that we would not be able to grow food next year.

    "The enemy army is coming!"

    "Haha, let's go!"

    Wu Huapu laughed and rode his horse away. In the cities of Haizhou and Yaozhou, there were thousands of Manchu defenders each.  It is estimated that he was irritated by the actions of the Datong Army, and occasionally bravely went out of the city, and all of them chased after them on horseback.

    However, the dragoons did not engage in battle at all, and spread out sentry cavalry far away. They would flee immediately when encountering the enemy, and they never went deep into the hinterland of Manqing.

    But the population in the countryside, all.

    Going to the grassland to rob is somewhat risky, but going to North Korea to fight the autumn wind is extremely safe. You don’t even need to think about logistics. You dare to send troops with half a month’s food.

    Poor North Korea has not recovered from the previous looting, and has been forced to sell grain by the Datong Army many times. Next year, it will usher in another looting by the Qing Dynasty.

    The whole of North Korea will be emptied, and even the two classes of nobles will not be spared!

    After discussing the matter of robbing food, Daishan suddenly said: "There are signs of rebellion in Outer Fan Mongolia. Gulu Siqibu, who took the lead in avoiding the war, must be dealt with according to the rules. But he cannot be killed directly, otherwise Outer Fan Mongolia will be forced  opposite."

    Dorgon thought about it a long time ago, and said: "Remove this man's military title and support his brother to take his place. It is best to let the two brothers kill each other. ?

 Text 456【Wenwu Emperor Temple】

    ? In the first year of the Republic of China, the first year of Datong Emperor Zhao Han, this is obviously not a good year.

    Many provinces in the south have severe droughts, and food prices have almost doubled!

    In fact, the drought has eased a lot compared to the previous year, and the drought in the north has completely improved.  But the more intuitive feeling of the people in the south is that the price of food has soared, and Zhao Han's life will be worrisome when he ascends the throne.

    So after the autumn harvest of this year, some officials and civil scholars asked Zhao Han to observe the sacrificial ceremony, and to worship the heaven and the earth in Nanjing next spring, praying for the emperor and queen to bless the weather and the weather.

    "The Great Sacrifice to Heaven and Earth in the Southern Suburbs" is the most frequent sentence in "History of Ming Dynasty".

    Every first month, between New Year's Day and Lantern Festival, the emperor of Ming Dynasty would choose an auspicious day to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

    ?Because there were too many people in Shangshu, Zhao Han had to express his opinion.  He summoned the cabinet and officials from the ten ministries, and said: "The heaven and the earth can be sacrificed, but it is not necessary. It is only for auspiciousness. The scale should not be too large. It is enough to send a few officials from the Ministry of Rites to sacrifice to the heaven and the earth on my behalf."

    Except for special occasions, Zhao Han usually refers to himself as "I", and calling himself "Zhen" means that he has made up his mind.

    Many ministers who were sitting and discussing matters stood up in unison at this moment, including Pang Chunlai.

    Pang Chunlai remonstrated: "Your Majesty, the important affairs of the country are sacrifices to the army. Although the emperor of the old Ming Dynasty often sent his relatives to sacrifice, they were only offering sacrifices to the gods of mountains, rivers and rivers. The worship of heaven and earth must never be handed over to others! Sacrificing heaven and earth, controlling  The six armies must be the emperor himself!"

    Li Banghua even knelt down directly: "I know that your Majesty is the emperor who is responsible for the people and does not care about the blessings of heaven and earth. His majesty will definitely refute, saying that the former Chongzhen worshiped heaven and earth every year, and the whole country is still suffering from severe drought and continuous military disasters. But your majesty must know,  This is not a matter of belief or disbelief, but something that can and cannot be done. The emperor must be the emperor, and he can only be the emperor. If any minister dares to sacrifice the heaven and the earth on behalf of his majesty, the minister will definitely impeach him for treason. Do not dismiss this  People, I will resign and return to my hometown!"

    "Your Majesty, please think twice!" Many ministers knelt down one after another.

    Zhao Han suddenly smiled and said: "Get up, I didn't think carefully, don't kneel down at every turn."

    Some things, even as an emperor, cannot be disobeyed, such as the Confucian etiquette that has been formed for thousands of years.

    Etiquette is the norm, and it is also a system of rules.

    This stuff is the root of Confucianism. In comparison, Zhao Han's reform of the imperial examination system is just a child's play.  Etiquette is not only reflected in the folk, but also in the court. It is the emperor's right and duty to sacrifice to heaven and earth.

    Anyone who dares to do it for him is treason!

    Zhao Han's smile was feigned, and he said: "Cabinet, Li Cao, and Ministry of Rites, go down and discuss the sacrificial etiquette. Just like the national flag, keep its charm, but try to simplify it."

    The national flag has been revised, and the rising dragon, crane, and unicorn patterns are still there, but they are simplified to only keep the charm of the lines.

    Chen Maosheng asked: "How far is it simplified?"

    Zhao Han replied: "No matter how far you simplify, you have to remember one gist: don't waste money and people!"

    "Obey!" Chen Maosheng cupped his hands.

    Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, a very disgusting phenomenon has appeared.

    Due to the lack of finances in the Ming Dynasty, the monarchs and ministers had no money for disaster relief, so when faced with a catastrophe, they often allocated symbolic funds for relief, and at the same time labored and mobilized the people to worship and pray.

    For example, when the Yellow River broke its embankment, the imperial court did not allocate money for disaster relief, and the embankment could not be built temporarily due to the flood. The governor of the river channel first offered sacrifices to the god of the river.  Occasionally, he would be impeached by the censor, and the content of the impeachment was: the object of sacrifice was wrong!

    A certain river channel worships this god, and a certain river channel worships that god. They must not be confused.

    Worshiping to the wrong god may result in loss of official position.

    The Great Guanzhong Earthquake killed 830,000 people. Emperor Jiajing only allocated tens of thousands of taels for disaster relief, which was less than the money he allocated to the Taoist Temple in Wudang Mountain.  Then, Emperor Jiajing sacrificed with great fanfare, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were mobilized. The focus of the court changed from earthquakes to sacrifices in an instant.

    Zhao Han will never allow this kind of phenomenon to happen. In his opinion, offering sacrifices is fine for auspiciousness, but that's all.

    Facing these ministers, Zhao Han said: "My dear friends, Mencius has a saying: When heaven will send a great mission to a man, he must first suffer from his will, exhaust his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, empty his body, and disturb his behavior.  For, so tempted and tolerant, it has benefited what it could not. It is the same for people, and it is the same for the country. I am united with China. In the face of natural disasters and visions, we should unite as one.  Overcome the difficulties. At the beginning of the rebellion, I did not own the entire territory of Jiangxi, but encountered a flood that did not happen in a century. At that time, officials at all levels fought against the flood together with the people. After the flood, although there were losses, the officials and the people were united. This is not heaven  Is the true meaning of the great appointment?"

    &nIn one day, the Wu Temple disappeared without a trace.

    Li Banghua repeated the question asked by the emperor and ministers in the early Ming Dynasty: "Your Majesty wants to reset the Wu Temple, will Jiang Ziya restore the title of king?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Confucius' King Wenxuan is gone, how can Jiang Ziya's King Wucheng be kept? Since Confucius was named the most holy master of Dacheng, Jiang Ziya should be named a great master of soldiers."

    Although Emperor Jiajing had a lot of shit, he also did two interesting things:

    First, abolish Confucius' title of king and turn Confucius into a teacher.  That is to say, King Wenxuan of Dacheng was abolished and replaced by the most holy teacher of Dacheng.  The Kong family in Qufu was very upset, and from then on they enshrined the title of king bestowed by the Yuan Dynasty, and resolutely refused to enshrine the title bestowed by the Ming Dynasty.

    Second, remove Kublai Khan and his officials from the temples of emperors of all dynasties, and do not recognize Kublai Khan as the emperor of China.

    To be honest, the second thing is very inappropriate.

    Because most of the holy relics of Genghis Khan and the relics of Kublai Khan are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.  In this regard, Daming has the legal authority of the Yuan Dynasty. In theory, the entire grassland belongs to Daming, and Emperor Jiajing would give up if he did this.

    Well, although it doesn't matter whether you give up or not.

    Pang Chunlai asked: "Do you want to invite Yuan Shizu back to the Emperor's Temple?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Of course, please come back, and make an offering to Shizu Yuan. What lands Shizu Yuan owns Cough, we'll talk about it later."

    As long as Kublai Khan is invited back to the Emperor's Temple, China will have a strong claim to Mongolia, Tibet, and Xinjiang.  It seems useless, but it has political significance, and the reasons for sending troops are very sufficient.

    Zhao Han continued: "When rebuilding the Temple of Martial Arts and the Temple of Emperors, two people must be invited in. One is Yue Fei, who should enter the Temple of Martial Arts;  ?

 Text 457 [A hundred schools of thought contend]

    Fei Rumei gave birth to a daughter who is in confinement, and Liu Rushi is about to give birth.

    At this moment, Liu Rushi was basking in the sun with her stomach upright, and Fei Rulan was grinding ink in the garden with her sleeves pulled.

    Zhao Han picked up the pen and wrote the calligraphy, and the inscriptions on the three plaques: Nanchang University, Changsha University, and Guangzhou University.

    These are the three universities that will be opened next year, and the Ministry of Rites has discussed and confirmed them.  Because these three provinces were Zhao Han's earliest territory, basic education has been promoted for many years, and they have the conditions for the source of students to build a university.

    ?As for Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Fujian, after discussions among ministers, they felt that they could postpone it for another year or two.

    It is mainly the court and the people, because of the location of the university, they have already played their heads.

    In Zhejiang, the focus of debate between civil officials and scholars was whether to host the university in Hangzhou or Shaoxing.  It stands to reason that it should be established in Hangzhou, but there are too many great Confucian scholars from Shaoxing, and many important officials and scholars are also from Shaoxing at this time.

    If Zhejiang is still a normal dispute, then Anhui and Jiangsu are simply dumbfounding.

    Huizhou merchants strongly demanded to set up a university in Huizhou. The court did not need to pay a penny. They could raise funds to build a university and donate the school to the country for free.  There are many scholars in Tongcheng and other places, and they are very influential. They suggested that the university should be established in Anqing.  There are also many court officials who think that the university can be established in Luzhou.

    The three forces, each with their own channels, spoke frantically in front of Zhao Han.

    Fang Yizhi, who has been studying physics, was inevitably involved, and suggested that the university should be located in Anqing.

    ?As for Jiangsu, Huizhou merchants and Gansu merchants suggested the establishment of Yangzhou University, and Jiangnan scholars unanimously proposed the establishment of Suzhou University.  The two sides attacked each other, one said that Yangzhou was full of the smell of copper, and the other said that Suzhou was a place of evil spirits.

    After writing the imperial bestowed school names of the three universities, Zhao Han handed over the calligraphy to the female officer, and took it to the Ministry of Rites to pass it back to various places.

    Zhao Han put down his brush and said with a smile: "When a university is established, local scholars will argue endlessly. How can they work together to oppose the Confucian Temple? The ministers are too worried."

    Liu Rushi said: "Your Majesty invited Zhu Zi and Yang Ming Gong into the Confucian Temple, which has a deep meaning. Scholars can't make trouble."

    "Haha, Mr. Liu knows me." Zhao Han laughed.

    The scholars of the Ming Dynasty, whether they admit it or not, are all disciples and grandchildren of Zhu Xi.  There are countless successors of Wang Yangming's mind theory in the south of the Yangtze River.

    Listing these two as the seventy-two sages of the Confucian Temple will split the world's scholars in an instant, and will inevitably gain a large number of supporters.

    Zhao Han retained Confucius, Mencius, and even Yan Zeng. As for the other disciples of Confucius, what do they have to do with today's scholars?  You can just find a former scholar on the street and ask him to recite the names of the seventy-two sages of Confucianism. If he can recite half of it, he is considered a learned talent.

    ?On the contrary, Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming were famous and had disciples all over the world. These people were potential supporters of Zhao Han's policies.

    ? Even if Zhao Han thinks on his knees, he can predict the direction of public opinion. The focus of the debate between the government and the people will definitely change from whether to change the Confucian Temple to which sages should be replaced.

    In just a few days, some officials have handed over the first batch.

    In addition to those mentioned by Zhao Han, some people also suggested adding Sima Guang, Bao Zheng, Yu Qian, Hai Rui, Zhang Juzheng, etc.

    As for Wang Anshi, he was not highly regarded until the end of the Qing Dynasty. Even if someone praised him, they only praised Wang Anshi for his noble personal virtue.

    The full recognition of Wang Anshi became popular in the Republic of China.

    Lao Jiang even compared himself to Wang Anshi and caused a nationwide discussion.  At that time, government officials at all levels had to hold relevant seminars, and invited well-known scholars to give "Wang Anshi Reform Lectures". Officials, big and small, had to write articles, combining Wang Anshi's reform with Chiang Kai-shek's reform.

    Lao Jiang admired three people all his life, namely: Wang Anshi, Wang Yangming and Zeng Guofan.

    It's a pity that he only lived as Zeng Guofan, especially in the diary.

    Many celebrity diaries in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China belong to the legacy of Neo-Confucianism.

    Under the blessing of the literary inquisition, the Qing Dynasty completely castrated Neo-Confucianism, and Neo-Confucianism thought has completely regressed.

    Scholars take the initiative to strip away the practical content of Neo-Confucianism, and especially absorb the empty talk and falsehood of Xinxue. Scholars are pursuing "cultivation and enlightenment".  While corrupting the law and corrupting the law, they regard themselves as Taoists and like to write diaries to exchange ideas on self-cultivation.  In order to show their frankness, some officials even recorded in their diaries that they had a meeting with their old wife Dun Lun last night.

    This kind of diary is selfless and dignified, and it is specially written for others to read.

    The Zeng Guofan in the diary is a saint, but the real Zeng Guofanhaha.

    Here in Zhao Han, there is no literary inquisition, but a hundred schools of thought are encouraged to contend.Zhao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Ministry Li Langzhong Shangshu, sued you for hooking up with his son. Is there such a thing?"

    "How can that be called hooking up? It's just like-minded people," Fei Ruyi explained, "Mr. Li and I both like to dress beautifully, and we both like to listen to music and sing operas. We just go to a party together, how can it be as dirty as they think?  "

    Zhao Han thought to himself: I believe you ghost!

    Fei Ruyi ignored the etiquette of the monarch and the people, and went directly to Zhao Han's side: "Your Majesty, please write a signboard for the Yinchun Club."

    Zhao Han asked the female officer to bring a pen and paper, and said, "Stand back three steps away, I'm the emperor, you can't get too close."

    Fei Ruyi smiled and said, "Which one of us is with whom? Don't say that your majesty is the emperor of the world, even if you are the Jade Emperor, we are also old friends. Your majesty is not a person who forgets the past, and I will not do bad things under the name of the emperor.  .Hundreds of years later, the friendship between you and me is also a good story."

    Zhao Han picked up the pen to write quickly, and scolded: "Get away with the writing! ?

 Text 458 [Qian Qianyi who admits counsel]

    Dozens of officials sat in the hall, waiting for Zhao Han to delete the list.

    Suddenly, Zhao Han raised his head and asked, "Who is this Hu Yuan? What achievements has he made?"

    Wang Tiaoding cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, Hu Yuan is one of the three masters in the early Song Dynasty. He advocated that learning should be clear and practical, and he was the pioneer of Song Dynasty learning."

    That was Zhu Xi's pioneering senior, and Zhao Han easily crossed him off the list.

    For the builders of Neo-Confucianism, it is enough to choose one Zhu Xi.  Hu Yuan is crossed out, Er Cheng is also crossed out, Zhou Dunyi and so on Well, Zhou Dunyi can keep it, after all, this is the originator of Confucianism, "Tai Chi Tu Shuo" has a great influence on later generations, it can be said that it has shaped the Chinese people's outlook on the universe  .

    Zhang Zai can also be selected, and Zhao Han likes Hengqu Siyu very much.

    In terms of establishing words, Zhao Han only retained Zhou Dunyi, Zhang Zai and Zhu Xi among the Neo Confucianists in the Song Dynasty.

    As for the direction of mind learning, Lu Jiuyuan, Chen Baisha, Zhan Ruoshui, and Wang Gen were all crossed out, and Zhao Han was only allowed to keep Wang Yangming.

    Continuing to review the list, Zhao Han suddenly asked again: "Who is Luo Qinshun?"

    Li Banghua said: "A native of Taihe, Jiangxi, a great Confucian in Jiangyou, a master of Confucianism, was as famous as Duke Yangming during the Zhengjia period."

    At the time when Xinxue was at its peak, a Neo-Confucian master who was as famous as Wang Yangming?

    Moreover, he was originally from Taihe County, which was also Zhao Han's early territory.  I am afraid that many of the central ministers in front of me are disciples and grandchildren of Luo Qinshun, and even Li Banghua may inherit Luo Qinshun's theory.

    This one is really not easy to cross out directly!

    Zhao Han had no choice but to ask: "What did Luo Qinshun talk about in his studies?"

    Li Banghua did not answer directly, but just elaborated: "From the Jiajing period to the Chongzhen period, the truly sensible Confucianists mostly adopted the theory of Zheng'angong."

    Zhao Han immediately understood that Luo Qinshun was very important.

    In terms of Neo Confucianism, Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty and Luo Qinshun in the Ming Dynasty.

    In terms of psychology, Lu Jiuyuan in the Song Dynasty and Wang Yangming in the Ming Dynasty.

    Zhao Han asked again: "Did the two of you, Luo Wang, communicate with each other?"

    Li Banghua replied: "The two gentlemen often correspond with each other, arguing about psychology and Neo-Confucianism. It is just an academic dispute, and there has been no hostility or even sympathy."

    Both Luo Qinshun and Wang Yangming believed in Buddhism when they were young, but both hated Buddhism when they were middle-aged.  One became a master of Neo-Confucianism, and the other became a master of Psychology.  In the last ten years of his life, Wang Yangming had been communicating with Luo Qinshun by correspondence. Both of them wanted to persuade each other, but neither of them succeeded.

    Zhao Han became more and more interested, and asked, "Mr. Luo, how do you think about qi? How do you think about Taoism?"

    Regarding this question, Chen Maosheng and other ministers who did not read much sat there without any special reaction.

    However, the Confucian scholars headed by Li Banghua were very excited.

    His Majesty finally asked, His Majesty finally asked about Confucianism, today is equivalent to a banquet!

    Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, this is the first time in history!

    Pang Chunlai smiled without saying a word, his eyes half-closed, as if he had fallen asleep sitting up.

    Li Banghua got up and replied: "Luo Wenzhuang generally believes that qi and principle are one thing, but the principle is different. He also believes that the metaphysical is the Tao, and the physical is the tool. The tool is also the way, and the way is also the tool."

    Zhao Holdun smiled: "I understand why King Luo is equally famous."

    Wang Yangming changed the words "new" and "pro" in "Great Learning" in order to snatch the right to interpret the Four Books from Zhu Xi.

    Luo Qinshun is also very fierce, directly overturning Zhu Xi's understanding of qi principles and Taoist instruments.  This is to reinterpret Neo-Confucianism from the core structure of Neo-Confucianism, bypassing Zhu Xi, and make Neo-Confucianism more practically instructive.

    ?Wang Yangming and Luo Qinshun, one of psychology and one of Neo-Confucianism, actually lead to the same goal by different routes.

    Their theories were combined at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and thinkers such as Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi were born.

    Zhao Han's reaction frustrated the ministers.

    They still want to continue to give lectures to the emperor. If they are lucky enough to participate in the first sutra banquet in Ming Dynasty, they will be famous in history after a hundred years!

    As a result, Li Banghua only said one sentence, and the emperor said that he understood.

    How does this allow ministers to continue talking?

    Qian Qianyi, Zhang Pu and other members of the Hanlin Academy were also called to the meeting this time. After all, it is about the sacrifice of the Confucian Temple, and scholars should participate.

    Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.  The emperor who started a rebellion was not like Zhu Yuanzhang, but someone who had really studied Neo Confucianism.

    Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty may not know what Confucianism is!

    because onlyToday's Shilin has all kinds of strange theories, and there are still many bitter scholars complaining.  In my opinion, if a large prison is to be established, a group of scholars must be killed first.  Shepherd, among your disciples and old officials, there are many people who insinuated and slandered Tian Zheng.  "

    Qian Qianyi was stunned. It turned out that it was not safe to hide in the Hanlin Academy.

    Qian Qianyi was a little anxious, and said sullenly: "Zhang Ximing, you deliberately scare me, right? The old man is studying hard at the Imperial Academy, and has already cut off contact with his former students. From now on, we will thank you behind closed doors!"

    "Ha ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhang Pu couldn't stop laughing, he just liked to see Qian Qianyi anxious.

    The two called their husbands on the street and walked across the streets and alleys on a sliding pole.

    Zhang Pu coughed again, and after his breathing eased a little, he looked at the bustling market and sighed: "The prosperous age is approaching, and my life is not long, and I feel really unwilling. If I can live another twenty years and see the changes in this world, then I should  What a joy!"

    Qian Qianyi said angrily: "Why are you dying? This old man doesn't say you are dead, so how old are you? You said you were going to die two years ago, and you haven't lived until now!"

 Body 459 [Japanese news]

    Nanjing, the pier.

    A messenger quickly landed, changed to a fast horse and shouted along the way: "Good news, good news. The new twelfth division of the Datong Army broke through Youyang Xuanfu Division, Pingcha Dongsi, Shiye Dongsi, Yimei Dongsi,  Rongxi Zhimaziping Cave Division. Return to the east and break through the Xuanwei Division of Baojing Prefecture and the Xuanwei Division of Yongshun"

    The messenger rode his horse to the city gate, showed his waist card, entered the city and continued to shout along the way.

    "Win the battle again?"

    "Where is the new twelfth division?"

    "I don't know, it doesn't matter where it is, as long as we win the battle."

    "Listening to those names, I'm afraid they are all chieftains. How can they beat the Heavenly Soldiers of Datong?"

    "In less than two years, His Majesty will rule the world, and the price of food will come down by then."

    "Long live Your Majesty!"

    ""

    Confidential battle reports must not be leaked, but for ordinary good news, messengers are allowed to spread the news along the way, which can boost the morale of the people and increase the prestige of the court.

    As for the place names in the battle report, they are all chieftains in eastern Sichuan and western Hunan.

    The Twelfth Division was newly reorganized, half of the soldiers were natives of Sichuan, and half of the soldiers were veterans of the Ninth Division.  The firearms in the hands of the recruits are not enough, and many are still using bows and arrows, but they are more than enough to deal with the little chieftain.

    Of course, some chieftains are really big, such as Yongshun Xuanweisi and Baojingzhou Xuanweisi.  After the two places were conquered, they were directly merged into one mansion, tentatively named Yongshun Mansion.

    Tujia, Miao, ZhuangMulti-ethnic groups live together, and all of them are converted to natives. For those in poor mountains and remote areas, officials have to be sent to manage them for several years.

    What Nanjing people heard was good news, but Huo Tao, the left servant of the Ministry of War, reported his concern: "Your Majesty, you have received news from the Tenth Division that the puppet dynasty in the north of Annan Kingdom sent troops to occupy more than 30 villages on the border of Siling Prefecture."

    Under Zhao Han, the first two political envoys were Ouyang Zheng and Huo Tao.

    After the reform of the central system, Ouyang Zheng was promoted to be Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Huo Tao was promoted to be the Left Minister of the Ministry of War.

    Zhao Han really didn't want to understand: "Annan's northern puppet dynasty, even Annan's own country only occupies half, how dare they come to encroach on the border of Guangxi?"

    Huo Tao replied: "I have consulted Mr. Li Ge. According to Mr. Li Ge, Annan has been coveting China's borders for three hundred years. During the Jiajing period, a war almost broke out.  Take back the lost frontier."

    The Mu family in Yunnan is more anxious than anyone else, because those lost lands are all the private land of the Mu family!

    The Mu family fought and developed in the past dynasties, destroyed many small chieftains, and then replaced them by themselves.  The newly developed land was not reported to the imperial court, and people were sent to manage it.  This led the civil officials in Yunnan to think that those were not Chinese territories, nor Vietnamese territories, but lands of savages that had never been owned by them.

    These private sites of the Mu family were historically taken over by Wu Sangui.

    After the fall of Wu Sangui, part of it was occupied by Vietnam, and there were territorial disputes during the Qing Dynasty.  Later, the French colonized Vietnam, and the country was completely separated from China, and there would never be a chance to take it back.

    Huo Tao also said: "Nowadays, the Annan and Northern Dynasties have good relations with the puppet imperial court in Yunnan, so it is impossible to encroach on Yunnan. On the other hand, in Guangxi, our army has not yet occupied Siling Prefecture, and there are only some small chieftains in Siling Prefecture. The monarchs and ministers of the Annan and Northern Dynasties  , has always had expansion ambitions, and it is expected to take the opportunity to occupy border villages."

    "Since the Tenth Division didn't fight over, how did it know?" Zhao Han asked.

    Huo Tao replied: "Wei Shi, the native official of Siling Prefecture, established himself as the chieftain after the fall of the Ming Dynasty. This man has great ambitions, brazenly sent troops to Siming Prefecture, and once captured Siming Prefecture. The chieftains of Siming Prefecture joined forces,  Drive Webster back to Siling Prefecture. Now, Annan has invaded the border and occupied the village, Webster has lost the battle, and has a bad relationship with other chieftains, so he asks the Tenth Division of the Datong Army to send troops to help."

    It can probably be understood that a teddy was going around and was suddenly bitten by a fierce dog, so he urgently asked someone to help him.

    When Siling Prefecture was in Zhu Yuanzhang's time, it had already changed its land and returned to the people.  However, Webster's hereditary Tusi, assisting the Han Zhizhou to govern the region, is not much different from the real Tusi.

    Zhao Han asked: "What is the tenth division thinking?"

    Huo Tao said: "I request Your Majesty to follow the example of Sichuan and add an additional division in Guangxi. Some remnants of chieftains in Guangxi often surrender and rebel, attacking officials and people with poisonous arrows in the mountains. The land in Guangxi is barren, with many mountains but little land. Many children  The people have been soldiers for generations, so they can make a living. There are some young people who are willing to fight with the Datong Army. But they are not even counted as farmers and soldiers, and their morale will inevitably be low, and some people have been instigated to rebel."

    Zhao Han thought carefully, nodded and said: "The thirteenth division was donated in Guangxi,More than a dozen feudal lords formed a coalition.  But still unable to break through the city of the rebel army, they could only besiege and blockade the city, trying to starve the rebel army to death.  "

    Zhao Han asked, "Did you starve to death?"

    Lin Wenyuan said: "Amakusa Shiro is a Christian believer. He sent people to break out and contact the Dutch, hoping to get the support of the Dutch. But he didn't know that he believed in the old religion, while the Netherlands believed in the Protestant religion. Instead of rescue, the Netherlands  Send out the fleet to bombard the rebels."

    "That's the truth." Zhao Han nodded.

    Lin Wenyuan said: "More than 30,000 rebels fought to the death, and only 20,000 remained. The shogunate army killed 3,000 and injured tens of thousands. After breaking the city, they slaughtered all the living rebels. Since then, Japan has  Close the country and cut off trade with Spain and Portugal. The shogunate ordered all churches to be destroyed, and if anyone who believed in Western religion was found, they would be arrested and sentenced to death."

    Zhao Han sighed: "Officials force the people to rebel. This is the case in ancient and modern China and abroad. It's a pity that Shiro Amakusa has such courage at the age of sixteen, and can make tens of thousands of rebels swear to die."

    Lin Wenyuan said: "Your Majesty, the Japanese shogunate vaguely proposed conditions. As long as His Majesty approves of the shogunate's rule, Japan is willing to respect Datong China as its suzerain, and all Japanese seaports are open to Chinese merchants."

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "Go back and tell the shogunate that the grievances between them and Ming Dynasty are never to be blamed. As long as I promise not to cause Japanese chaos again, I can send envoys to Nanjing. After I receive the Japanese letter of credence, I will also send envoys to  Canonize the king of Japan."

    "Your Majesty is holy!"

    Lin Wenyuan was overjoyed. Once Japan opened its ports, Chinese merchants would do their own business—the Netherlands could only trade on Dejima in Nagasaki.

 Text 460 [Flickering on both sides]

    Fuzhou, Fujian.

    Chen Ji, the son of a sea merchant, greeted Lin Wenyuan to disembark at the pier, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Kuidou, how is Nanjing?"

    Lin Wenyuan said excitedly: "It's done, His Majesty really supports Haimao."

    "That's good, that's good!" Chen Ji clenched his fists.

    It is absolutely impossible for Japan's Tokugawa shogunate to fully open its seaports to China.  It is absolutely impossible for the shogunate Tokugawa Iemitsu to contact the Nanjing court on his own initiative.

    Lin Wenyuan, or in other words, the Fujian maritime merchant who pushed Lin Wenyuan to work, is bold and fooling around!

    ? They first reached a consensus with Matsudaira Nobutsuna that Matsudaira Nobutsuna will take care of the Tokugawa shogunate, and Fujian Mariners will go to Nanjing to take care of Zhao Han.

    If the Tokugawa shogunate is compared to the imperial court, then Matsudaira Nobutsuna is similar to the shogunate prime minister.

    Behind Matsudaira Nobutsuna, there are still many pro-shogunate feudal lords, as well as Confucianism and Shintoism forces in Japan.

    The rebellion caused by Amakusa Shiro was not completely subsided until this year!

    Amakusa Shiro was just the beginning. Due to the poor performance of the shogunate army, a large number of local lords who did not believe in Christianity also joined the war against the rule of the shogunate. Almost the lords of Kyushu were fighting for independence.

    Last year, the shogunate mobilized an army of 220,000, and the troops invaded Kyushu in two ways, with the assistance of the Dutch fleet. The main combat target was the rebel forces of the Shimadzu domain.

    By the end of this year, almost all of Kyushu's daimyos had been eliminated.

    After learning from the pain, Tokugawa Iemitsu decided to change his ruling policy and ordered Matsudaira Nobutsuna to take the lead in researching policies with scholars.

    ? Fujian Maritime Merchants learned of Zhao Han's attitude, and immediately sailed to Japan on a sea ship to pass the news to Matsudaira Nobutsuna.

    ? Matsudaira Nobutsuna then met Tokugawa Iemitsu and bowed to present a reform plan.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu did not read and check it himself, but asked: "Tell me about the main ones."

    Matsudaira Nobuta replied: "It is impossible to completely close the country. In the previous battle, the Shimadzu Army had a large number of Western-style artillery, and the firepower was even more fierce than that of the Shogunate Army. Therefore, after collective discussion among the Shogunate ministers, they believed that  Set up a trade zone. Foreign businessmen are not allowed to trade with local daimyo, but they can trade with the shogunate."

    This policy of opening up a large number of ports has been successfully passed in history, but it was rejected after a period of implementation.

    Japan is closed to the outside world, and religious chaos is only one of the reasons.

    ? In the early days of the Tokugawa shogunate's rule, the feudal vassals were encouraged to open ports for trade, the reason being that it could enhance Japan's strength.  Gradually, the shoguns discovered that sea trade had strengthened the power of the vassals, which was not conducive to centralized rule.

    Therefore, a semi-trade port was established in Nagasaki, the territory directly under the shogunate.

    Chinese and Dutch merchants are only allowed to trade with the shogunate, not with vassals everywhere!

    ?In Tokugawa Iemitsu's later years, the country was locked, opened, and locked again, and the policy was changed repeatedly. Everything was based on maintaining the rule of the shogunate.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu was noncommittal and asked, "What else?"

    Matsudaira Nobuta continued: "The reasons for the rebellion between the daimyo and the common people are very complicated. Ministers and scholars believe that they should be educated. You can learn from China's experience and set up schools locally. The shogunate should provide money for the schools so that  The samurai received education from an early age, knew the truth of loyalty to the emperor, and knew the truth of supporting the shogunate. In addition to using Confucianism to deal with Western religions, they also need to use Japanese Shinto to deal with Western religions. Some schools can be merged with shrines, and Confucianism and Shinto can be integrated. Destroyed by red hair  Buddhist temples, the original population of the temple, marriage registration, these rights and responsibilities can be transferred to the shrine."

    Tokugawa Iemitsu finally cheered up: "This method is very good."

    This is how Bushido thought was formed!

    Matsudaira Nobuzuna also said: "The entire Kyushu no longer has daimyo. In the future, Kyushu will be directly under the jurisdiction of the shogunate, and the shogunate will select officials to serve in Kyushu."

    Tokugawa Iemitsu became more and more satisfied: "You are all pillars of the country and can formulate very good national policies."

    Matsudaira Nobuzuna continued: "China's Ming court has been wiped out by the rebels"

    "What? Did the mighty Ming come to an end? Who is the new emperor of China?" Tokugawa Iemitsu was shocked. This was the first time he had heard of it.

    Matsudaira Nobuzuna replied: "In the new China, there are three emperors. One is the Datong Emperor Zhao Han, the second is the Dashun Emperor Li Zicheng, and the third is the Qing Emperor Fulin. In fact, there are two more, both of whom are the Ming clan who fled.  One has been destroyed, and the other is in Yunnan."

    Tokugawa Iemitsu said with emotion: "China has entered the Three Kingdoms era again. Tell me about these emperors."

    Matsudaira Nobuta said in detail: "Datong Emperor Zhao Han, the capital is in China.?.  Befriending China will only make the shogunate more stable.  You can first send envoys to China to contact the Emperor of Datong.  As a gesture of goodwill, several ports can be opened to Chinese businessmen first.  "

    This suggestion represents the interests of many people.

    Daimyo who are close to the shogunate, officials of the shogunate, Japanese Confucian scholars, and those Chinese maritime merchants.  They connected with each other and planned together for a long time, nothing more than fooling Zhao Han and Tokugawa Iemitsu to expand trade.

    As for Japanese Shintoism, it is still relatively weak at this time, and needs to be integrated and developed together with Japanese Confucian scholars.

    It is the religious chaos in the past few years that has led to the decline of Buddhist power in Japan.

    Especially in coastal areas, Christians burned down a large number of temples - Shinto shrines, because there was no incense and no influence, and even the rebel Christians didn't bother to burn them.

    After thinking carefully, Iemitsu Tokugawa said: "Send an envoy to Nanjing first. ?

 Body 461【Japanese Mission】

    The Tokugawa shogunate really intends to directly govern Kyushu, just like opening a large number of ports after retreating.

    But it is one thing to want to do it, another thing to be able to do it, and another thing to do it.

    The first step is naturally to cut down the feudal clan, such as Tangjin Fan and other small feudal lords were eliminated.  The Satsuma domain was the main force of the rebellion against the shogunate, and a large number of Shimadzu men died in battle, and they were also facing the danger of being cut off.

    The Shimadzu family is lobbying everywhere, and even invited the Netherlands to help, spending money like crazy to keep the territory.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu finally gave up directly governing Kyushu. In addition to too much local resistance, another reason is that the "Kan Yong Great Famine" has begun.

    Amakusa Shiro's rebellion was able to attract a large number of farmers precisely because of the famine in Japan.

    And just this year, a bigger famine broke out, and it will last for several years. This is Japan's Kan'aga famine.  Facing the famine, Tokugawa Iemitsu, who had always advocated dictatorship, could only be forced to loosen his control over the local area, and the Karatsu domain, which was brought under the direct control of the shogunate, was also re-partitioned.

    In the Little Ice Age, no one will get better.

    There was famine in Ming Dynasty, famine in Europe, and famine in Japan.

    The Tokugawa shogunate has even decided to issue a decree in the first month of next year: prohibiting the sale of land across the country and prohibiting the separation of farmers with less than ten people, so as to protect farmers and agricultural production.

    ? On the first month of the new year, before the Spring Festival, Lin Luoshan led a delegation to visit China.

    Lin Luoshan is Japan's "Emperor Teacher", who has educated two shoguns in succession, and is already educating the third and fourth generations.

    Throughout the Edo period, the ideological system constructed by Lin Luoshan was the main idea of ??Japanese society, and it was not abandoned until the Meiji Restoration.

    This person is a crazy supporter of Zhu Xi, while criticizing Lu Wang's Xinxue, while absorbing Xinxue's thoughts.  He fused psychology with Neo-Confucianism, and Neo-Confucianism with Shinto, redefining Japanese Shintoism.  He also advocated the rejection of Buddhism and the expulsion of Christianity, making Shintoism the official religion of Japan.

    This time the Tokugawa shogunate set up government schools, and the whole set of plans came from Lin Luoshan!

    According to the tradition, the envoy of the mission sent by Japan to China must be a monk.  But Lin Luoshan hated monks very much. Not only were most of the members of the envoys Confucianists, but also no monks were brought along.

    ?From Edo to Nagasaki, and from Nagasaki to Ryukyu by boat, Lin Luoshan came to Fuzhou.

    Looking at the huge city of Fuzhou and witnessing the bustling port, Lin Luoshan not only sighed: "This is really the kingdom of heaven!"

    After resting in Fuzhou for three days, Lin Luoshan took a boat to Ningbo again.  On the way, when he met the Fuzhou Navy patrolling, Lin Luoshan said: "The giant ship is not inferior to the Nanman, and it must not be defeated."

    After going all the way to Shanghai, local officials finally received them and sent them to Nanjing by boat.

    When Lin Luoshan disembarked in Nanjing, he was numb by the shock along the way.  He was arranged to go to the foreign ambassador's hotel. After staying in the hotel, he was in a difficult mood, and asked the guard around him: "What did you see?"

    The bodyguard is called Yagyu Jubingwei, and his father, Yagyu Zongmo, is the intelligence chief of the shogunate.

    Yagyu Juhei was only thirteen years old, and he had already become Tokugawa Iemitsu's attendant.  After becoming an adult, he was sent to various places to monitor and inquire about the words and deeds of the local daimyo, and belonged to Tokugawa Iemitsu's absolute confidant.

    "Sir, I saw prosperity." Yagyu Juhei replied.

    Lin Luoshan said with a smile: "China is so prosperous because of Confucianism governing the country. As long as Japan also governs the country with Confucianism, supplemented by Shinto, sooner or later it will be similar to China."

    Liu Sheng Shibingwei said: "Mr. High opinion."

    Both of them knew in their hearts that although Lin Luoshan was the chief envoy of the envoy, Yagyu Jubei represented General Tokugawa.

    Lin Luoshan's words were not only for Yagyu Juhei, but also for Tokugawa Iemitsu.

    Lin Luoshan pushed open the window and looked at the big tree in the courtyard: "If Japan wants to be rich, it must not only govern the country with Confucianism, but also have good relations with China. Trade with China, learn Chinese skills, and learn everything about China. This is also Ieyasu.  public will!"

    Yagyu Juhei nodded: "It is true that we should do business with China."

    In the second year after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's death, Tokugawa Ieyasu seemed to restore diplomatic relations with China.  In order to show goodwill, Mao Guoke, the captured general of the Ming Dynasty, was also sent to escort the captured Ming Dynasty all the way to Fujian to return it.

    The Ming court also responded by sending two merchant ships to Japan, hoping to contact them in an unofficial manner first.

    As a result, the two Chinese merchant ships were robbed by Japanese pirates.

    Although Tokugawa Ieyasu captured the pirates and executed the pirate leader, the communication channels between the two countries were cut off.

    In desperation, Tokugawa Ieyasu conveyed his goodwill through North Korea, and North KoreaHe glanced at everyone: "Who is Yagyu Jubei?"

    Lin Luoshan could understand Chinese, and said quickly: "The emperor calls you!"

    Liusheng Shibingwei, who had just sat down, left his seat again, ran forward, knelt down and kowtowed: "Liusheng Shibingwei, I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

    Zhao Han was a little disappointed. The famous Yagyu Jubingwei didn't have the mighty image in the game at all.  Although the body is still strong, but the stature is too short, kneeling there like a half-grown child.

    Zhao Han said: "You are the chief guard of the Japanese mission, and you want to be proficient in martial arts. Where are the weapons?"

    Lin Luoshan quickly translated.

    Liu Sheng Shibingwei replied: "When I had an audience with His Majesty, I was taken away by the female officer and the guards."

    Zhao Han was full of viciousness: "Let's bring his weapon. I heard that Japanese swordsmanship is quite unique. I'm here to learn a few moves from my guards."

    Lin Luoshan quickly warned: "You have to go all out, you can't fall into the prestige of the shogunate, but you can't kill the guards of the Chinese emperor."

    Then how to fight?

    Yagyu Juhei was suddenly at a loss.

 Text 462 [Nanjing Experience]

    Yagyu Jubingwei's fighting sword was brought, and he stood there thinking about how to compete.

    Zhao Han glanced outside the door and asked, "Who is on duty today? Come in!"

    The four emperor's personal guards stepped into the side hall.

    Zhao Han said to one of them: "Zhou Yingkui, come and compete. Remember, don't kill him."

    "Abiding by the order!" Zhou Yingkui cupped his hands.

    Zhao Han's 2,000 personal guards, except for the armored army with full plate armor, have all been on the battlefield.  To be selected as the emperor's personal guard, three conditions must be met: first, to be born innocent; second, to be brave in battle; and third, to be tall and mighty.

    Zhou Yingkui was born in a family of merchants, and he liked to dance knives and sticks since he was a child.  After fighting on the battlefield for three years, after being selected as a personal guard, he also practiced swordsmanship with a famous teacher.

    Seeing that Liusheng Shibingwei had no armor on his body, he also took off his armor, cupped his hands and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you!"

    Liu Sheng Shibingwei bowed back and said something that Zhou Yingkui did not understand.

    "Clang!

    Zhou Yingkui drew his sword out of its sheath, and threw the scabbard to his colleagues.

    Yagyu Jubingwei also slowly drew out his sword, bent down and put the scabbard on the ground.  Then raise the knife with both hands forward, stare at the opponent's eyes, and walk slowly with both feet.

    Zhou Yingkui also holds the sword with both hands. This is a battlefield broadsword, but the blade is shorter than the Da Dao.

    Although the sword is short, the man is long.

    The top of Liusheng Shibingwei's head only reached Zhou Yingkui's chest. This battle seemed unfair.

    Suddenly, Zhou Yingkui took half a step forward and slashed at the opponent's right shoulder with a sword.

    Liu Sheng Shibingwei raised his knife to block, suddenly stepped forward with his left foot to close the distance, and slashed back at Zhou Yingkui's left shoulder.  This is the classic move of Yagyu Xinyinliu. Unfortunately, he met the wrong opponent. Zhou Yingkui's move was too powerful, which caused the deformation of the follow-up move of Yagyu Jubingwei.

    Moreover, when Yagyu Shibingwei slashed his left shoulder, Zhou Yingkui did not dodge or dodge, and twisted his wrists with both hands to stab the opponent's throat.

    Liu Sheng's ten soldiers hurriedly took the wrong step to block, taking advantage of the situation to create a distance.

    This kind of competition can't go on, Yagyu Juhei is a master of martial arts, and the sword skills are very advantageous when the two are duel.  Zhou Yingkui practiced swordsmanship in battle arrays, and he usually wears armor. Just now, he was cut to the left shoulder by the opponent. He didn't even bother to dodge it. Instead, he stabbed the opponent's throat with his sword.

    If Yagyu Jubei didn't block and dodge, and both sides were not wearing armor, one shoulder was injured and the other died on the spot.  If both sides were armored, Zhou Yingkui would be able to instantly kill Liu Sheng's ten soldiers at the cost of minor injuries.

    Lin Luoshan couldn't understand it at all, and was quite anxious in his heart, fearing that Liu Sheng's ten soldiers would lose, and he was also afraid that the Chinese emperor's guards would be injured.

    "Okay, there's no need to compare." Zhao Han suddenly stopped, and he had already seen what was going on.

    If you continue to fight, you will either die or be injured.

    Liu Sheng Shibingwei quickly picked up the scabbard, bowed to Zhou Yingkui, and then knelt down to Zhao Han.  He was so frightened that his vest was sweating, and the sword that stabbed his throat just now seemed to feel death coming.

    Sitting back again, Lin Luoshan asked in a low voice: "Who won?"

    Liu Sheng Jubingwei said: "It's a tie."

    "Tie?" Lin Luoshan didn't understand.

    Yagyu Jubei said: "This is a warrior on the battlefield. If you continue to fight, there are only two results. One is one death and one injury, and the other is that everyone dies. Moreover, his sword is too heavy, which is different from Japanese swords.  .I haven’t encountered it before, and it’s very likely that I can’t cope and suffer.”

    Zhou Yingkui blushed and said, "Your Majesty"

    "Don't blame yourself, go back and be on duty." Zhao Han smiled.

    Zhou Yingkui bowed and retreated, feeling a little frustrated, only talking about martial arts skills, he had already lost just now.  Using the life-changing style of play to destroy all the opponent's changes is purely unreasonable.

    Of course, if he wears a full set of armor, like Yagyu Jubei, he thinks he can fight five with one.

    Zhao Han praised: "Your Excellency is indeed superb in martial arts."

    Liu Sheng Shibingwei stood up quickly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment."

    Zhao Han said to Lin Luoshan again: "I like General Tokugawa's gift very much. When you leave Nanjing, bring him a gift as well."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!" Lin Luoshan felt that the establishment of diplomatic relations had been stabilized this time.

    The gifts from Tokugawa Iemitsu were a famous sword and a folding fan. Apart from these things, Japan could not produce anything else.

    As for Zhao Han, just give back a few pieces of porcelain.

    Zhao Han said: "I know the big things and the small things, the sage taught me, and I hope Japan will keep it in mind."

    Received with a gift,I have already gained several catties from eating, but it is a pity that all the money I brought has been spent.

    "Where have all the poor people in China gone?" Yagyu Juhei suddenly asked a question.

    Lin Luoshan was stunned, and then remembered that they had never seen any poor people along the way.

    Of course, the poor in their impression are the kind of poor people who don't have any clothes, and they can only hug each other in the shack to keep warm in winter.

    Lin Luoshan couldn't figure it out, so he could only forcefully explain: "Govern the country with Confucianism, educate all people, and the world will be ruled, and everyone will have enough food and clothing."

    Lin Luoshan himself doesn't believe this kind of nonsense. He is not only a Neo-Confucianist, but also a Japanese politician.

    The yellow hair they met in the bookstore before was Peter Mundy who had communicated with Zhao Han in Guangzhou.

    The English businessman, explorer, and travel writer is writing from his inn at the moment:

    "I handed over the business to my brother, and I took a boat to Nanjing, the capital of China. I went to cities like Quanzhou, Fuzhou, Ningbo, Hangzhou, Shanghai, and Zhenjiang on the way. Except for the emerging Shanghai, the rest of the cities are prosperous and prosperous.  Every city can be the capital of a European country"

    "China is like Marco Polo's writings, full of gold and endless wealth."

    "You don't see beggars and tramps here. I asked Chinese officials. If there are beggars and tramps, they will be sent to the north for reclamation. The emperor will allocate land to them, lend them seeds, and rent them cattle for farming  , These things need to be repaid in installments. I heard that the north has experienced a brutal war, and many people died there. But as long as His Majesty insists on emigrating, the north will definitely be as prosperous as the south."

    "There is a miracle in Nanjing, a 270-foot-high Buddhist pagoda made entirely of colored glaze. God, I was terrified that day, and I was so excited that I couldn't sleep."

    "The lowest level of citizens in Nanjing can also get rich food through work and labor. All children here can go to school for free, and those ten-year-old children, even girls, can read and write. Unbelievable, really unbelievable,  China is full of scholars."

    "The skin color of Nanjing people is fairer than that of Guangzhou people I have seen. Maybe the sun here is not so harsh. The skin of Chinese people is a masterpiece of gods. They are fair and delicate"

    "I learned to use chopsticks. I take back my previous inappropriate remarks. Eating with chopsticks is not a barbaric act. Many Chinese delicacies must be cooked with chopsticks, otherwise it would be a very embarrassing thing"

    "There is another important discovery. From Guangzhou to Nanjing, the citizens of these cities use glass to decorate their doors and windows. The doors and windows are made of wood with many small grids, and the beautiful light green glass is embedded in these small grids. It not only transmits light, but also allows  The interior is bright, and it is so gorgeous. It is too extravagant, even if His Majesty the King, it is impossible to decorate the castle with a lot of glass"

    Peter Mundy's travel notes to Guangdong a few years ago had caused a sensation in the UK. He came to China this time to do business, and was entrusted by the King of England to bring a private letter from the King of England to the Emperor of China.

    "Charles, king of the kingdoms of England, to His Majesty the greatest and invincible Emperor of China ?

 Body 463【Fuan Religious Rebellion】

    When the Japanese mission went to Nanjing, Ban Ande, a long-term observer of the Holy See, also returned from Europe anxiously.

    "The Pope forbids Chinese Christians to worship their ancestors? How is this possible?" Aulio was dizzy with shock.

    Ban Ande said, "It's true."

    Ai Julius said: "You must have misinterpreted the will of the Pope!"

    The Pope at this time was Urban VIII, a very enlightened fellow.  Claiming to be a student of Galileo, he also helps defend the heliocentric theory and is committed to sending missionaries around the world.

    With such a pope, how could it be possible to prohibit Chinese believers from worshiping ancestors?

    Ban Ande didn't explain too much, just reminded: "France."

    Hearing this word, the high-level Jesuits at the scene fell silent.  They know what's going on, and it involves factional struggles in the Holy See, as well as competition among European countries.

    The headquarters of the Eastern Mission of the Holy See is in Goa, India. The affairs of the Eastern Mission are completely controlled by the Society of Jesus, which in turn is controlled by the Portuguese government.

    France wants to seize Portugal's Eastern missionary rights, and groups such as the Franciscans and Dominicans also want to break the Jesuits' monopoly on Eastern missions.  They joined forces to pick thorns and put pressure on the Pope of Rome, and Spain also got involved.

    Because Portugal became independent from Spain, all the missionaries sent by Spain to Macau were expelled from Macau by force.

    Before Benande returned to Rome, Franciscan and Dominican missionaries had already gone to the Pope to report.  They say Christianity has been misinterpreted in China and Jesus is seen as a native Chinese deity.  The Jesuits, such as Ayulio, tried in vain to integrate Christianity into Confucianism, and encouraged the people to worship Confucius and ancestors. In time, they would inevitably split into heretical sects such as Protestantism and Orthodox Church.

    Even so, Pope Urban VIII still did not make an immediate decision.

    However, the pressure from France cannot be ignored by the Pope. Urban VIII and Richelieu are sworn enemies, but they are also staunch allies.  It was their joint efforts that transformed the Thirty Years' War in Europe from a war of religion into a struggle for national hegemony.

    In addition, the rise of Jansenism in Belgium attempted to deprive the pope of control of the church.  This sect is growing very fast, and it is very likely to become another Protestantism.

    The Pope is trying his best to crack down on the Jansenists. Combined with the situation in China, he is very worried about Chinese believers worshiping their ancestors.

    Ban Ande said: "Everyone, please follow the will of His Majesty the Pope."

    Even Long Huamin, who once prohibited Chinese Christians from offering sacrifices to their ancestors, which led to the Nanjing religious case, resolutely resisted the decree at the moment: "The Pope is already confused. Once he does this, the Jesuits will be finished in China."

    "Jesus would have died just as well if he hadn't done this," Benand said.

    There are so many missionary organizations in Europe, especially the French Mission, which is supported by the Pope and Richelieu.  The French Mission is sending missionaries around the world, hoping to use religion to expand France's overseas influence.  They have been eyeing the Jesuits and have long wanted to seize the Eastern missionary rights. Once the Jesuits resist and do not comply, the Eastern missionary rights of the Jesuits will definitely be banned.

    Comply with the decree, the Jesuits will be destroyed by Zhao Han; resist the decree, the Jesuits will be destroyed by the Pope!

    So is it possible to both obey the order and resist it?

    Fu Fanji said: "Rome is too far away from China, and the pope doesn't know what's going on here. We will follow the pope's will, but we will also take into account the wishes of the Chinese people. We will persuade the people not to worship their ancestors, but thousands of years  Chinese customs cannot be corrected in a short period of time. The missionary focus of the Jesuits in the future is to try to reverse this custom that does not conform to the doctrine according to the Pope's will."

    "Yes," Ai Julian understood instantly, "In the future, we must repeatedly publicize and persuade the people not to worship their ancestors."

    Long Huamin also said: "The Society of Jesus will always support the Pope. The will of the Pope is the missionary goal of the Society of Jesus."

    Ban Ande couldn't laugh or cry at once, but he was also a Portuguese, and he also wanted to protect the interests of Portugal and the Jesuits, so he nodded and said, "This is a good idea. We respect the Pope, we obey the Pope, and we will preach according to the Pope's will."

    ?The Jesuits have reached a consensus on this: to obey the Pope!

    However, other missionary organizations will not be obedient

    Fu'an.

    Although the Jesuits monopolize missionary power in China, a few places have been seized by other organizations.

    The person in charge of the mission in Fu'an is Li Yufan, who was sent by Spain from the Philippines.  This guy belongs to the Dominican Society. Historically, two years later, Li Yufan rushed back to Rome in person, pointing out that the Jesuits condone Chinese believers to respect Confucius and worship their ancestors.nbsp; Li Yufan's expression was a little panicked, he wanted to go out and scold the lost lambs.  But the shouts of killing were loud outside, Li Yufan really didn't dare to die, so he could only roll up his robe and go out through the window.

    "Monk Hongmaoyang is over there!"

    "Hurry up, don't let him run away!"

    ""

    Li Yufan, who was out of breath, was caught up while running away. He was kicked in the lower back suddenly, and threw himself in front of his body.

    Suddenly he was kicked on the thigh, and then hit his head with a stick.

    While he was dizzy, fists, feet and sticks fell like raindrops. He didn't even utter a few screams before he was hit in the head and fainted.

    Was beaten to death on the spot!

    In this Fu'an Rebellion, three Spanish missionaries were killed, eleven religious believers were killed, and dozens of others were injured.

    The county magistrate and the chief judge didn't know how to make a judgment at all, so they could only report the details and ask Zhao Han for instructions step by step.

    Zhao Han was furious and ordered the police to surround the Nanjing Church. Even the missionaries who served in Qintianyuan were all arrested and questioned in person.

    The British writer Peter Mundy was also arrested as a missionary because of his Western face.

    Liu Sheng Shibingwei was shopping, and excitedly shouted: "The emperor of China has also arrested the Nanman monk!"

    Lin Luoshan stroked his beard and nodded in approval: "That's right, the great China, how can we allow the Nanman monk to be a disaster?"

 Text 464【Church Split】

    In the garden.

    Zhao Han was playing with a Japanese sword. It was a small Taidao with a length of about two feet. The inscription on the sword was "Echizen Yasutsuki".  According to the format of the knife inscription, it is probably similar to "Suzhou Zhangsan".

    This knife is tough and sharp, it should come from the hands of a famous Japanese knife maker.

    After slashing for a while, Zhao Han put the knife back into its sheath.

    Zhu Youdong stepped forward holding the iron hammer: "Your Majesty, the army has changed many kinds of warhammers, and the standard warhammer of Ming Dynasty is the most practical."

    Looking at the unpretentious iron hammer, Zhao Han couldn't help but smile and said: "Since this hammer can be listed as the armament of the Ming Dynasty, it must have gone through the test of the battlefield. We took a detour before, and the Iron Armored Army will equip this kind of hammer from now on.  .”

    This kind of warhammer is about two feet long, and the handle accounts for two thirds.  The whole body is made of wrought iron, and the hammer head is only the size of a fist.

    It looks featureless, but it is simple and effective, and its length and center of gravity are good for actual combat.

    In fact, not only Zhao Han decided to equip the Ming standard warhammer, but Huang Taiji had trained the Han army flag double-cone soldiers back then, and he also used the Ming standard warhammer as a weapon.

    This kind of hammer unit is specially used to break through the formation of heavy armored infantry.

    As the frontier army of the Ming Dynasty became weaker and weaker, the use of the double-cone soldiers of the Han army flag in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties became less and less useful, and they were canceled before entering the customs.  Otherwise, the casualties of the Datong defenders in last year's Gaizhou defense battle would have doubled.

    At this moment, Dorgon is looting North Korea, and reforming the Eight Banners Army at the same time: first, the Han Army Banner Shotgun Vest, converted to Manchu Qing Dragoons;

    As the war continues, everyone is groping for progress.

    "Your Majesty, bring them from Xiyi." Li Xiangjun came to report.

    Zhao Han put away his smile, held the Ming-style warhammer in his hand, sat back on his chair and said, "Bring them in."

    A group of Europeans lined up to enter, still tied with ropes.

    When Peter Mundy met, he cried: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I am not a missionary. Even if I am a missionary, I should spread Protestantism."

    Zhao Han held back his smile, waved his hand and said, "I caught the wrong person, untie this person."

    Peter Mundy, who had regained his freedom, quickly knelt down to thank him.  This guy is not only proficient in Chinese, he is also very proficient in kneeling and kowtowing, and he doesn't know who his Sinology teacher is.

    Zhao Han looked at the missionaries again, and said in a deep voice, "In the Fu'an missionary case, three Spanish missionaries died, eleven Chinese believers in Fu'an died, and dozens of others were injured. I need an explanation.  !"

    Ben Ande, the observer of the Holy See in China, said: "Your Majesty, those who caused trouble in Fu'an belonged to Dominican missionaries, and we are all Jesuit missionaries."

    "So, it has nothing to do with you?" Zhao Han asked.

    "Yes, it has nothing to do with the Society of Jesus." Ben Ande not only wanted to clear himself of his crimes, but also took the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, "Your Majesty, 90% of the missionaries in China belong to the Society of Jesus. But the remaining 10%  Belongs to Dominicans, Franciscans and other churches. Our Jesuits respect Chinese culture, customs and traditions, while other churches are very conservative and completely ignore Chinese cultural customs. Please expel other churches, Your Majesty, so that there will be no more  Something happened."

    Zhao Han turned his head and asked Peter Mundy: "Have you heard that I know Dominic?"

    Peter Mundy replied: "Of course, Your Majesty. The Dominican Republic was founded by Spain. It began to preside over the Inquisition more than 400 years ago. They like to accuse believers of heresy. Over the past few hundred years, I don't know how many people have been burned to death."  .In Europe, many innocent women, as well as scholars who spread science, were condemned by the Dominicans as heretics and burned to death. A hundred years ago, the Dominicans also committed crimes in Britain, and at most they burned to death a year.  Hundreds of people."

    Zhao Han suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Inquisition is controlled by them."

    Ai Julio took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, Dominic will be extremely cruel, while I, Jesuit, will be open-minded and kind. Although both believe in Christianity, the two should not be confused. Your Majesty, please grant the missionary right of the Jesuits and expel all Dominic in China.  Tomorrow I will be a monk!"

    In fact, the Jesuits were also founded by the Spaniards, but they are now controlled by the Portuguese government.

    The struggle between the two churches, in addition to the religious dispute, is also mixed with the national competition between Spain and Portugal.  Regardless of Portugal's decline, from India to China, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, the Jesuits supported by Portugal have a monopoly.

    The reason is simple, the Portuguese first came to Asia!

    As for the religious disputes in Japan over the years, it is the Protestant forces represented by the Netherlands that are crowding out the old religious forces in Spain and Portugal.

    ? Matteo Ricci, Tang Ruowang, Nan Huairen, Ai RuConvene a general meeting.

    Ai Julius took the lead in speaking: "We cannot refuse the emperor, otherwise the Jesuits will disappear in China, and decades of hard work may come to an end."

    "Are you going to break with the Holy See?" Ban Ande asked.

    Fu Fanji said: "Breaking with the Holy See is tantamount to breaking with the Portuguese royal family."

    Having said this, the missionaries were even more desperate.

    The Eastern missionaries of the Jesuits were all funded by Portugal.  They build churches in China, discuss learning with Confucian scholars in China, and recruit believers by benevolent people in China. All these activities require stable funds!

    After breaking with the Pope and breaking with Portugal, there will be no money for missionary work in the future.

    Regardless of belief, money is the most practical!

    Tang Ruowang said: "Once it breaks with the Holy See and Portugal, the Chinese Jesuits will have to change. Missionaries must find jobs to support themselves and must fully integrate into Chinese society."

    Ban Ande asked in surprise: "Do you really want to follow the order of the Chinese emperor?"

    "Otherwise? Was he expelled by the emperor like Long Huamin?" Tang Ruowang said, "I don't want to leave China, I want to stay here to preach."

    "I also want to stay in China," said Aleulio.

    Ban Ande said angrily: "You are betraying the Holy See. I would rather be expelled than accept such an order!"

    The Chinese Jesuits, at the moment they were forced to stand in line by Zhao Han, could not escape the fate of internal division.

    ,

    Tian Xiuying, also known as Concubine Tian Gui of Chongzhen, was finally allowed to walk on the street.

    Even arranged for her a palace lady to help take care of her daily life, and she can also receive regular money every month.

    Zhao Han was rather stingy at first, so Tian Xiuying, a former imperial concubine, naturally couldn't enjoy the glory and wealth.  Her clothes are all made of cotton, not to mention silk, and she has to sew it herself.

    Not long ago, Tian Xiuying got a spinning wheel and bought cotton to spin cotton yarn in exchange for money.

    Early this morning, Tian Xiuying reported to the female official, and then took the maid Huier out to sell goods.  There is no need to hawk along the street, there are special shops to buy, anyway, it is just a little hard money.

    "Sell the lamp, sell the lamp!"

    A six or seven-year-old child was selling matches along the street.

    Although children are forced to study, there are still many dropouts in remote villages.  As for the city, the government is very strict, and it is really rare to see children who drop out of school due to poverty.

    So poor that children can't read?

    Then your whole family will go to the north, and the government will provide travel expenses.  Those who are willing to farm can divide the land, and those who are not willing to farm, the northern cities are also very short of people.

    The mandatory enrollment age is now set at eight years old, and after three years of primary school, it is eleven years old.  If the opportunity is bad, you can be an apprentice, and you can make a living by learning a craft.

    The child in front of him is a preschool child. He came over with a match in his hand and asked, "Madam, do you want to buy a lamp?"

    Seeing that he was cute and smart, Tian Xiuying couldn't help thinking of her son, nodded and smiled and said, "Buy twenty."

    The little match boy said, "Fifty matches. Fifty matches cost a penny."

    "Okay, just buy fifty." Tian Xiuying said.

    The profit of matches is very thin, even cheaper than fire pockets.  Cut pine or fir into small sticks, then infect them with sulfur, and use a fire knife to ignite them.

    In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, it was called Fazhu and Fazhu, in the Northern Song Dynasty it was called Yinguangnu and Huocun, and in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties it was called Fazhu and Cuier.  In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, matches were named Qudeng.

    This thing has been sold along the street since the Song Dynasty.

    The child counted fifty-one matches, tied them with straw ropes, handed them to Tian Xiuying and said, "Maybe one more, Madam will come back to buy it next time."

    Tian Xiuying said in a good mood: "Okay, I will look for you next time."

    The child smiled and said, "In half a year, I will be studying. If I don't study after the age of eight, I will be punished if the government finds out."

    "Then you are afraid that you will be number one in the examination in the future." Tian Xiuying said.

    The child smiled even more happily: "It's not the material for the number one examination. My father said that after graduating from elementary school and knowing how to read and write, I will be an apprentice to carpenter Zhang. Carpenter Zhang is the one who makes lamps (matches) for me."  Leftovers, he has a good relationship with my father."

    Tian Xiuying lived in the palace for more than ten years, and was under house arrest in Nanjing for another year. Now she especially likes the market scene.

    She bid farewell to the match seller, took the maid to sell cotton yarn, exchanged some copper coins and bought a lump of sugar for her son.

    At this moment, passers-by gathered in front of them and were pointing there.

    Tian Xiuying squeezed over curiously, but saw a few foreign barbarians heading for Beicheng on a sliding pole, and hired some labor behind them to carry them to salute.

    "Hey, these foreign monks have finally left, His Majesty should also demolish that foreign temple."

    "I heard that it's not over yet, there are still a few left in the foreign temple."

    "Walk a few times and count, but you can't see the appearance of red eyebrows and green eyes."

    "You don't know that the South has made a teaching plan again, and many people have died. Your Majesty is furious this time, and all the foreign monks who are disobedient have to go."

    ""

    The number of missionaries who are willing to break with the Holy See and stay in China is about 20-30%.

    Most of the Jesuits choose to leave, but they cannot go to the Philippines, which is dominated by the Dominicans. They can choose to go to India.

    Of course, some missionaries also chose to go to Shanxi to join Li Zicheng.

    As for the Dominicans and the Franciscans, all the missionaries were expelled from the country and are now packing up and boarding ships in Fujian and Guangdong.

    Back in his small courtyard, there are already maids waiting.

    That was Liu Rushi's court lady, and she greeted and saluted when they met: "My wife invites Madam to sit down for a while."

    "Let's go now, sister, wait a moment." Tian Xiuying went back to the house to tease the children, and then picked up the bamboo flute to visit Liu Rushi.

    This Concubine Tian Gui knows how to ride and shoot, is also proficient in rhythm, and also knows calligraphy and painting, so she can chat well with Liu Rushi.

    According to legend, Emperor Chongzhen's old clothes were mended by Concubine Tian Gui herself.  ?They have been immigrating abroad, otherwise the problem of education expenditures would have erupted long ago.

    But ten or twenty years later, as the population in the north increases, the population in the south will also increase. By then, free education will definitely not be able to continue.  Although it is also possible to immigrate overseas, it is difficult to start a business overseas, and only young men and women must be immigrated, and it is impossible to immigrate children.

    Although Zhao Han was quite reluctant, he still picked up the ink pen and slowly wrote the word "ke" on the back of the cabinet's approval.

    After thinking for a while, I added a few more words: cancel school meals, charge for books, and proceed step by step.  This year it will be in three counties, and next year it will be in Jiangxi.  Within three years, it will be implemented in the south of the Yangtze River, and gradually implemented in the north of the Yangtze River.  In the newly occupied land, the people are poor, and within five years, the old law will be used.

    ? Zhao Han got up and walked back and forth, then sat down to add his pen and ink: Do not charge for books by force, so as not to be taken advantage of by corrupt officials and booksellers.

    ?Books are very valuable, and families who cannot afford the cost of books can share a book with several children.  Or, if you invite literate people from the village, it will be cheaper to copy books than printed materials, since there are not many contents in elementary school textbooks anyway.

    Those mountainous areas are even worse, and many schools are ruined temples.  A single teacher teaches all subjects in a comprehensive manner. Some schools do not have all the books, and some schools still use old textbooks. The students' pen and ink are completely controlled by their parents.  After finishing elementary school, they can only read and write, and they have not practiced calligraphy at all. Children in mountainous areas still have no way out.

    There is no way to surpass the times, Zhao Han can only do this.

 Body 466【North Korea Changes】

    For the trial of the Fuan teaching case, Zhao Han also personally gave instructions, and the tendency was extremely strong.

    Three Dominican missionaries, dead and dead.  Anyway, they have no relatives, can't get any pensions, and bewitched the public to forget their ancestors. They are the real initiators of this murder case.

    Eleven dead Chinese Christians were killed because no real murderer could be found, or there were too many murderers.  The family members of the deceased received five taels of silver as compensation, which was shared equally among the people who participated in the riot.  On average, each person who participated in the riots needs to pay about 4% in compensation, which is more than 30 yuan.

    The wounded on both sides thought they were unlucky and healed themselves.

    ? Grandpa Chen, the patriarch of the Chen family, was the initiator of the riot, and his sons were not allowed to be officials, and those who were in office were also dismissed.  But grandchildren are not involved, and grandchildren can still study and become officials.

    In addition, more than a thousand participants in the riots had to serve for two months without pay, that is, to do volunteer work for the local government.

    This case is too special to be tried by ordinary law, or there is no relevant law yet.

    Nanjing.

    Zhao Han received intelligence from Liaodong that the Manchu Qing sent 20,000 troops to plunder North Korea.  All the way, they have already seized Gushan, Huangzhou, and Haizhou in North Korea. The soldiers divided into three groups and went straight to Huaiyang and Kaesong. If you take Kaesong, you can hit the capital Seoul.

    The North Korean monarchs and ministers asked the Datong Army in Liaodong for rescue, and promised to openly break away from the Qing Dynasty, and presented their credentials to Zhao Han in Nanjing as a minister.

    These guys sent envoys last year. While currying favor with China, they did not break off their relationship with the Manchus. They also wanted to offend no one at both ends!

    Zhao Han called Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, and Tian Younian, and after some discussion, he approved: "Send the navy to help, and then send a division from Jinzhou to fight. The money and food for the war must be borne by North Korea.  Return slowly!"

    Liaodong can only mobilize one division, because there is really not enough food, and we have to wait for the summer grain harvest in the south before we can transport enough food and grass.

    The Manchu and Qing Dynasties were similar, with more than 100,000 Eight Banners troops, only 20,000 were dispatched to attack North Korea this time.  And not all of them are regular Eight Banners, there are many soldiers mixed in them, and the fighting power of these army coats is enough to hang and beat the officers and soldiers of North Korea

    North Korea, Kaesong.

    This place used to be called Songdu, and it was the capital of the Goryeo Dynasty. Korean ginseng is a specialty of the nearby mountainous area.

    In the camp of the Qing army outside the city, Man Dahai looked angry.  Thousands of elites from the Eight Banners of Manchuria were blocked in this city, and hundreds of people were killed and killed in the siege!

    You know, they killed half of North Korea this time, and the casualties have been kept at single digits, but now they have broken through three digits.

    "Go and call the city again and order the defenders to surrender!" Man Dahai pointed at Li Hao.

    When North Korea was beaten to become a vassal, the three sons of the king were all taken hostage by the Qing Dynasty.  The third son has been released, the eldest son died of the plague in Beijing, and the second son Li Hao was seriously ill last year.  Kaichun's condition improved, Li Hao was immediately brought with the army, and ordered the defenders to surrender in the name of the son of Joseon.

    Perhaps it was because they robbed too hard, all the way to Kaesong, the guarding army refused to surrender.

    Li Hao knelt in front of Man Dahai and said: "Your Highness, I am afraid that I cannot persuade you to surrender this city. Kaesong is the capital of the old dynasty of Goryeo, and there are many nobles and powerful people in the city. In order to keep their property, they must spend money and food to boost morale. Unless  "

    "Unless what?" Man Dahai asked.

    Li Hao said: "Unless they are ordered to surrender in the name of the lord of North Korea!"

    Man Dahai laughed suddenly: "National leader of North Korea? Report from Seoul's details. North Korean monarchs and ministers don't even want the country. They have already fled to Jianghua Island."

    Li Hao said: "North Korea can have a new ruler. If we send an elite group to escort the ministers to Seoul, they will be able to establish a new dynasty in Seoul. When the time comes, the ministers will, as the ruler of North Korea, order the whole country to serve as the ruler of Korea.  For money and food. There is no need to fight at all, as much as His Royal Highness wants to take, the people of North Korea will personally send it to Shengjing."

    Man Dahai was astonished, and it took a long time before he said contemptuously: "In order to be the lord of the country, you are really a good dog!"

    Li Hao said: "How can the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers be resisted by the weak Korean soldiers? I hope the masters of the Qing Dynasty are happy, and the kings and ministers of North Korea are willing to be slaves."

    Man Dahai immediately patted his thigh and said: "Okay, I will give you a thousand elites and go to Seoul to be the leader of North Korea!"

    The next day.

    The Manchu Qing continued to attack Kaicheng, while Li Hao took a thousand elites, bypassed the city and went straight to the capital Seoul.

    The king of North Korea really ran away, and the Qing army just hit Pyongyang, and he took his ministers away.  The third son, Pinglin Dajun, was left behind to guard the city, and he appointed his son Li Yu as the supervisor of Joseon, responsible for leading the national army to resist foreign enemies.Barbarian plunder?  Do you still want to be taken hostage in Shenyang?  "

    "I don't want to." Li Yan said.

    Li Hao encouraged and said: "Then please abdicate the king, and you and my brother will rule Korea together!"

    Li Yu was undecided, he dared not stick to Seoul, and was afraid of being questioned by his father if he escaped.  After thinking over and over again, Li Yu clenched his fists: "Then please abdicate father!"

    The Manchu Qing army was still tens of miles away, so the two brothers rushed to Jianghua Island with the army, officials and wealth.

    The king of Joseon, Li Ji, was furious and asked his son, "Why did you come to Ganghwa Island when you were asked to guard the country against the enemy? Even if you can't defend Seoul, you can continue to retreat to the south!"

    The two brothers jumped up with their knives and killed two of the king's followers.

    Li Zhen was frightened and paralyzed on the spot. He ran away and called for help, but was quickly caught by his two sons.

    Li Yan's eyes were red and he said: "Father, abdicate, the king of North Korea asked the second brother to do it! Only when the father abdicates, the Celestial Dynasty will forgive the crime of North Korea's surrender to the barbarians. If the father does not abdicate, North Korea will never have peace."

    Li Hao also knelt down and kowtowed: "Please abdicate father!"

    ? Father is kind and son is filial, North Korea changes

 Text 467【Improved Textile Machinery】

    A copy of credentials was placed in front of Zhao Han.

    When the Datong Army sailed to North Korea, Man Dahai had already withdrawn.  This guy looted all of Seoul, and many people in Seoul were arrested as civilian husbands to help transport the looted goods.

    Li Zheng took thousands of people and landed near Pyongyang by boat, only biting off a part of Manqing's tail.

    There are also gains, killing hundreds of soldiers, rescuing more than 4,000 North Korean captured people, and the property transported by these people.

    ? The leader of North Korea, Li Ji, was placed under house arrest, and his eldest son, Li Hao, became self-reliant in a coup, and quickly won the support of North Korean officials and people.  It is really that Li Zhen's performance is so bad that North Korean officials and people complain about him. Maybe another king can live a better life.

    After Li Hao succeeded to the throne, he is doing three things:

    First, under the banner of "filling up ZTE", cleanse the old officials who do not obey you.

    Second, ask Li Zheng's Datong Army not to leave, and to be stationed in Baozhou from now on.  Anyway, there was no one inhabited there, and the Manchu Qing also robbed ten rooms and nine empties.  After the Datong Army was stationed, North Korea provided food and grass in the first year, and the Datong Army recruited refugees to cultivate supplies in the second year.

    Third, ask the Datong Emperor to grant him the golden seal of the King of Korea.

    Baozhou is on the south bank of the Yalu River. It was the bridgehead built by the Liao Kingdom to attack Koryo, and it was also the only place where the Manchu Qing invaded North Korea.

    As long as the Datong Army is stationed in Baozhou, North Korea can sit back and relax, and Li Hao can manage internal affairs with peace of mind.

    Looking at the letter of credence in his hand, Zhao Han couldn't help laughing: "The new leader of North Korea was full of wisdom when he usurped the throne, so why didn't he know how easy it is to invite the gods and send the gods away? Invite the Datong army to station, and allow the Datong army to recruit on their own."  Are you not afraid of losing the whole Baozhou from now on if the refugees colonize it?"

    On the contrary, Li Banghua was surprised by Zhao Han's thoughts: "Your Majesty, the two countries have diplomatic relations, and treat big and small things as humane. North Korea has been bathed in enlightenment, and it has been China's fence for generations. At this time, North Korea is in trouble, and it trusts China. How can the great power of the Celestial Dynasty take advantage of the danger  ?Does Your Majesty still want to occupy Baozhou and not return it? Leaving aside the theory of big and small matters, North Korea has many mountains and little land, and has always been poor and remote, so it is useless to occupy it.  North Korea uses troops, and the grain and taxes collected are not enough for the army’s expenses.”

    "Haha, I was thinking too much." Zhao Han instantly cleared up his confusion.

    Neither the North Korean king Li Hao nor Li Banghua in front of him thinks that China should occupy North Korean territory.

    Moreover, Li Banghua has explained the reasons, which are divided into two aspects: political public opinion and actual pros and cons.

    No matter how high-sounding the reason Zhao Han finds, as long as he invades North Korea’s territory in the future, it will cause North Korea’s monarchs and ministers to alienate themselves, and Chinese scholars will also think that Zhao Han is “immoral.”

    Not only is the weather cold in North Korea, but there are many mountains and few lands.  No food can be grown even if it is beaten down. In case of resistance from North Korean soldiers and civilians, it will probably become a loss-making business, and the maintenance cost of the rule will definitely remain high.

    Jeju Island was an exception, when Zhao Han needed land to raise horses.

    Pang Chunlai didn't say much, he was too familiar with Zhao Han.  Just listening to what Zhao Han said just now, he knows that he will definitely expand in North Korea in the future. After making a decision, it is useless for anyone to persuade him.

    Zhao Han ordered: "Order the Ministry of Rites to arrange the canonization of the King of Korea. Order the Ministry of War to recruit farmers and soldiers to train the 14th Division of the Datong Army. The soldiers of the 14th Division are given priority in selecting soldiers who have wives and no children.  Farmers and soldiers with only one son. After training, after the harvest of summer grain, the officers and soldiers of the 14th Division, husband and wife will go to Baozhou to settle down together.”

    Li Banghua looked surprised, and he also understood that Zhao Han really wanted to invade Baozhou in North Korea.

    Baozhou is on the border of North Korea, and it has long been empty.  If the soldiers of the Datong Army go there as husband and wife, they will become the main population of Baozhou after all.

    Zhao Han continued: "Order the Ministry of Officials to select officials and go to Baozhou with the army. After the officials go to Baozhou, they try to recruit Korean refugees as much as possible and give them land to settle down. By the way, they also need to give surnames to North Korean farmers.  How can a person not have a surname?"

    Li Banghua wanted to persuade him, but he didn't bother to say anything after hearing this.

    There are officials, the army, and immigrants, and they can recruit Korean refugees to organize households and sub-fields.  In just three to five years, Baozhou will essentially become Chinese territory, and the king of North Korea will not be able to take it back even if he wants to - there is no cost of encroachment, so why not do it?

    ? Li Banghua is not a pedantic scholar, he will support the beneficial and harmless business, even if it violates Confucian morality.

    Zhao Han said: "Baozhou is adjacent to the area under the jurisdiction of the Puppet Qing Dynasty. As long as the food there can be self-sufficient, our army can send troops from North Korea at any time. At that time, there will be three routes to attack the Puppet Qing Dynasty, one from Shanhaiguan, one from Gaizhou, and one from North Korea.  !"

    Tian Younian praised: "The puppet Qing Dynasty must pay attention to one thing and lose another."

    Zhao Han said again: "bsp; So two years ago, craftsmen in Jiading County invented a warp bed with eight yarn collectors.  Now, Xu Zhengming improved the sutra bed again and expanded the number of thread collectors to twenty.

    Zhao Han just stimulated and encouraged, advancing the invention of the menstrual bed.

    In the original history, in the middle and late Kangxi period, Chinese craftsmen produced thirty sutra beds for silk collectors.  Compared with a thread collector in the early Ming Dynasty, how huge the development is can be intuitively understood from the numbers.

    Zhao Han asked: "Can we continue to improve?"

    Xu Zhengming scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Yes! Give me another one or two years, and I will definitely be able to turn the sutra bed into thirty or fifty!"

    "His ambition is commendable!" Zhao Han praised.

    With the development of textile machines, every process needs to be improved. Xu Zhengming only improved the warping link, and there is still a long way to go.

    Once the steam engine comes out, all existing technical inventions can be installed on the steam engine.

    Zhao Han asked: "How did you improve it?"

    Xu Zhengming asked doubtfully: "Is it difficult? It was changed just like that. You can understand how to change the previous bed by just looking at it."

    Zhao Han was speechless for a moment.

 Text 468【Commercial market grows】

    Nanjing, Baoxinglong cloth line.

    As soon as the store clerk Yu Zudeng took off the door panel, he saw several cloth merchants standing outside. He nodded and bowed with a smile and said, "Gentlemen, please come inside!"

    "It's easy to say, easy to say!" The cloth merchant smiled with his hands clasped.

    Yu Zudeng was suddenly at a loss, not sure why these living ancestors were polite to him.

    In the cloth sales link, the early stage is mainly divided into cloth dealers and cloth merchants.

    The cloth line is the buyer of the cloth, which can be divided into the establishment and the exit of the estate.

    ?Zuo Zhuang chooses to open a shop in a town, and the women weave cotton yarn and cotton cloth to sell, and generally seldom pay in cash.  The woman sells cotton yarn, and the cloth dealer gives cotton; the woman sells cotton cloth, and the cloth dealer gives cotton yarn.  In this way, the cloth line can reduce the pressure on funds, and women do not need to go elsewhere to buy raw materials.

    When they leave the village, they will send staff to the villages and towns to purchase, and farmers can sell yarn and cloth without going to the city.  However, the price of this kind of transaction is very low, and the unscrupulous dental firm can even lower the price by 30 to 40%.

    As for the cloth merchants, they come to the cloth shop to purchase goods wholesale, and then ship them to other places for retail.

    There is a saying: Yaxing serves cloth merchants like a prince, but fighting for cloth merchants is like a confrontation.

    It is in front of cloth merchants that cloth merchants are like living ancestors.  In order to compete for a cloth merchant, several cloth shops are fighting like a war.

    So Yu Zudeng was very puzzled today, why are the ancestors of cloth merchants so polite?

    "Xiao Yu, hurry up and make some bowls of tea!"

    Zhou Ruodou, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, came to the lobby with a smile, and gave Yu Zudeng some instructions.

    Then the shopkeeper said: "Several please sit down."

    A cloth merchant just sat down, and before the tea was served, he said directly: "Don't talk about gossip, I will raise the price by 50% to get the cloth. It does not matter whether it is plain or twill, or summer cloth or starch cloth, and all prices are raised by 50%.  Take as much as you want."

    "You want to get the cloth even if you raise the price by 50%? I'll raise the price by 10%!" Another cloth merchant sneered.

    The shopkeeper Zhou Ruodou was proud of himself, and then complained: "There is a shortage of fabrics recently, and we really don't have enough. Why don't we follow the example of the Ministry of War in purchasing fabrics and make a hidden bid? The Ministry of War wins the bid, and we win the bid with the highest price."

    "Yes, let's do it quickly. You can't do it here, so I will go to Jiangxi and Hunan to see." A cloth merchant said impatiently.

    A small cloth shop actually invites tenders to sell cloth.

    When the business was over, the store clerk Yu Zudeng asked curiously: "Shopkeeper, why are the cloths selling so well this year?"

    Zhou Ruodou explained with a smile: "This year Japan opened a port, and I heard that two more ports will be added. In the past, the business in Japan was dominated by Fujian maritime merchants. Now that more ports have been opened, the maritime merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are asking merchants to help them get goods.  Not only cotton cloth, but also tea, silk, porcelain, tobacco, candles everything is available, anyway, it depends on large quantity and low price, so I will grab business in Shijian and Shimonoseki. The cotton cloth in the south of the Yangtze River has been wiped out by cloth merchants.  It’s too late, and I went to Nanjing to buy goods.”

    Yu Zudeng asked suspiciously: "There are so many Japanese, can you eat so much?"

    "In addition to Japan, there are North Korea and Liaodong," Zhou Ruodou said. "Your Majesty canonized the king of North Korea, and all the ports in North Korea are open. No matter how small or poor North Korea is, it is still a country, and it is very cold. Cotton cloth must be easy to sell. This  There is also Liaodong. The population of Liaodong is not large, but there are many garrisons. The military uniforms of the soldiers are distributed by the Ministry of War, but the daily clothes of the soldiers and their families have to be bought with their own money. There are also Henan, Shandong, Bei  In Zhili, business is also recovering this year, and even cloth merchants under Li Zicheng’s rule come to purchase. Now that there is a shortage of goods everywhere, what are the worries of those cloth merchants? In the past, cloth merchants lowered prices and made us grandchildren. Now cloth merchants  Raise the price, and we all become grandpas."

    Yu Zudeng suddenly realized: "It's still the shopkeeper's broad vision, we never thought there would be such a reason."

    Zhou Ruodou stroked his beard and smiled: "It's all thanks to His Majesty. Back in the past few years, there were many wars in various places, and countless casualties in the north. The business of selling cloth in the south is not good. Let alone Nanjing, there are also Susongchang Lakes.  Some weaving workshops closed down. After His Majesty took the throne, the business is getting better and better. The population in the south is increasing day by day, and the north is about to be stable. Many immigrants move to the north. Where is there no need to wear clothes? And Japan, North Korea, Liaodong,  It’s a big business again. You are so good at doing things, I will give my boss a few good words, and I will let you be the fourth shopkeeper of the cloth shop in two years.”

    "Thank you, shopkeeper!" Yu Zudeng was overjoyed.

    Zhou Ruodou smiled and said: "Your father saved my life, you are also smart, you can write and calculate, follow me and work hard, in short, you will not suffer."

    Yu Zudeng bent down to serve the tea ceremony: "Uncle Zhou, please drink tea!"

    Zhou Ruodou used the bowl lid to skim the tea dust, and said with emotion: "Our fate is good, we have met a wise and wise sage. What kind of life did you live in the past few years? Ordinary people can't afford to eat, so how dare they wear new clothes.He also recorded brocade in the book: "Nobles from various countries in Europe thought that silk was a creation of gods and a rare treasure in the world. They certainly couldn't understand, or even imagine the existence of brocade. Excuse my limited vocabulary, or,  There is no adjective in English that can express the beauty and nobility of brocade"

    "It is said that the machine for making Yunjin consists of tens of thousands of parts. A Chinese official told me that Yunjin was an emperor named Liu Yu in ancient times. The Northern Expedition destroyed a country called Qin, and thousands of craftsmen were captured from Chang'an.  These craftsmen have integrated the textile skills of Han, Wei, Jin, and many grassland peoples. After thousands of years of improvement, this beautiful textile was finally born."

    "I deliberately spent silver to make a brocade dress. The moment I put it on, I felt nobler than the emperors and kings of Europe ?

 Text 469 [The Story of the Prince Returning to the Country——Zhao Han's European Image]

    A fleet of ocean-going ships returning from the east docked at the outer harbor of Amsterdam, and then transferred to the inner harbor wharf by ship.

    Merchants from the Netherlands have already gathered here, and they will sell these goods to European countries.

    The Dutch East India Company, founded 40 years ago, has more than 1,000 shareholders.  Neither officials nor shareholders are allowed to interfere in the management of the company. It has a 76-member board of directors, but the real decision-making group is the "Meeting of Seventeen Gentlemen".

    Seven provinces of the Netherlands, 8 in Amsterdam, 4 in Zeeland, and 1 in each of the other regions.  Among the seventeen people are nobles, wealthy businessmen, officials and the like.

    Their decision-making is based on profit, because they must be accountable to shareholders, and they must also take into account the market conditions of the stock exchange.

    The form of governance is very democratic, and everyone sits down to discuss.

    But at the same time, they are extremely short-sighted. Everything is in line with short-term interests, and they don't need to consider long-term interests.

    For example, in history, the Dutch chief in Taiwan judged very early on that Zheng Chenggong would attack the city of Zeelandia.  After reporting upwards, Governor Batavia sent 12 warships for protection.

    These warships were stationed for half a year, but Zheng Chenggong still did not come.

    Therefore, the Batavia command center calculated that the cost of stationing the fleet was too high, which was not in the interests of the East India Company.  The governor of Batavia, despite the protests of Taiwan's chief executive, ordered 10 of the warships to return home, but Zheng Chenggong seized the opportunity when the troops were empty.

    Another example is that during the Kangxi period, more and more Chinese businessmen shipped goods to Batavia and sold them at a low price, which was cheaper than Dutch merchant ships buying goods in China themselves.  As a result, the East India Company withdrew its merchant ships, and no longer polluted the South China Sea, but only waited for the Chinese maritime merchants to ship goods in Java Island.

    Even if the governor of Batavia is clear-headed, he can't make decisions in many cases.

    There is also a council behind him, and there is a meeting to discuss everything.  There is also a deputy called the director-general, who is responsible for managing the company's Eastern trade affairs.  After everything has been discussed and reached, major events have to go back to the Netherlands to report that the "Seventeen People's Conference" has been approved.

    Layers of checks and balances, interests first, the Dutch East India Company operates in this way, and often does incredible things.

    It's like building a castle in northern Taiwan last year. When Zhao Han heard the news, he couldn't figure out what was going on.

    In fact, it is very simple, because the "Seventeen People's Conference" and the "Batavia Council" concluded after the meeting and discussion: the establishment of a trade point in the northern part of Taiwan Island can effectively increase the profits of the Japan-Dutch trade.

    Amsterdam, Inner Harbour.

    The commodity auction was held in the hall near the pier. The auctioneer held up a hammer and shouted: "1000 pounds of Chinese tea, the starting price is 30 Dutch guilders per pound!"

    4.2 Dutch guilders, roughly equal to one tael of silver.

    A pound of tea leaves is less than a catty, and the starting price is 126 taels of silver. One can imagine how lucrative the profits are.

    In the hands of Dutch nobles, the retail price of Chinese tea can reach up to 70 Dutch guilders, which means that a catty of tea is worth 300 taels of silver!

    Historically, in order to compete with the United Kingdom, the Netherlands began to play dumping, and the price of tea fell to 2.5 guilders per pound.  It fell from 70 dong to 2.5 dong. It's a real big sale.  Since then, Chinese tea has only come to the homes of commoners in Europe. Before that, only nobles could afford to drink it.

    "I will offer 31 shields!"

    "31.5 shields!"

    "31.8 shields!"

    ""

    The auctioneer waved his hammer: "56.3 guilders once, 56.3 guilders twicedeal!"

    Goods that can be shipped thousands of miles from the East are all luxury goods.  These things have nothing to do with European commoners, only the upper class can afford them, and only one boat comes back every year or two, so they must be auctioned to maximize the benefits.

    Even, this time the 3,000 pounds of tea were shipped back, and the tea auction alone was divided into several times.

    In the last tea auction, the auctioneer shouted: "300 pounds of Chinese palace tea, the starting price is 50 Dutch guilders per pound!"

    The so-called Chinese palace tea refers to tea with better quality.  In Europe in the 17th century, the retail price of this game was as high as 100 Dutch guilders per pound.

    The main profit commodity of the Dutch East India Company was originally Nanyang spices.  But by now, spices have fallen out of favor.  The tea market was developed by Dutch businessmen, and drinking tea was first popular among Dutch nobles in Europe.

    Due to the scarcity of supply, the 300 pounds of "Chinese Palace Tea" was finally sold at a price of 80 dong per pound—not the retail price, but the wholesale price of local merchants.

    Two hours after the auction, the staff brought up the box, and the scene suddenly became a sensation.

    However, anyone who needs to be displayed at the auction venue must have never seen it before, the power minister Richelieu, and Queen Mother Mary died one after another.

    The one who paid for brocade to make clothes was Louis XIV who had just been crowned, and his queen was Princess Anne from Spain.

    Just make dumplings with vinegar, and in order to show off her brocade clothes, Queen Anne held court balls every now and then.  She and the king appeared in gorgeous brocade costumes, and no matter how many times they met with the noble guests, they still gave them envious eyes.  Ever since, every time the nobles attended the ball, there were people asking everywhere how to buy brocade.

    The deeds of the Chinese emperor, along with the brocade and multicolored porcelain, spread wildly in the upper class of Europe.

    Peter Mundy's China travel notes were quickly translated to the European continent, and not only became bedside reading materials for the nobles, but even the King of France personally wrote a letter to urge the manuscript Update it soon!

    That China travel book was written a few years ago, when Zhao Han had just conquered Guangdong.

    Among the Dutch and Portuguese populations who recently returned to Europe, Zhao Han was described as more in line with the aesthetics of European aristocrats.

    First of all, one must have a noble background. Common people are not allowed to rebel and become emperor.

    Therefore, Zhao Han is a prince in distress, a descendant of the Chinese royal family four hundred years ago.  At that time, China was called the State of Song, and it was overthrown by the terrible Tatars. It can be said that Europe turned pale when talking about Tatars, because the Mongol invasion brought the Black Death.

    Doesn't this have a sense of intimacy and substitution?

    The terrible Tatars not only invaded Europe, but also destroyed the dynasty of Zhao Han's ancestors.

    After the Song royal family fell into disaster, they have served as scholars for generations, and quietly learned about war knowledge, and have been trying to restore the country for hundreds of years.  The emperor of Ming Dynasty was fatuous and brutal, which caused the descendants of the Tatars to invade again.

    Just when the descendants of the Tatars wiped out Daming, Zhao Han, as a descendant of the former royal family, immediately led his servants and retinues to raise troops.

    Finally, Zhao Han succeeded in restoring the country and drove the Tatars out of China.

    What a perfect story of the return of the prince!

    It is rumored that every time King Louis XIV of France, wearing brocade clothes and eating on a multicolored porcelain plate, would raise his glass and say, "Salute to the distant Chinese emperor. His enlightened generosity also allowed us to share the Chinese court.  life.?

 Body 470【Worship to Zhu Yuanzhang】

    Nanjing.

    Jeju Island paid tribute to three horses, which can be regarded as a demonstration of the achievements of horse breeding in recent years.

    "Stand up and speak," Zhao Han said to the two officials, "What are your names?"

    An official got up and replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my minister's name is Wang Zhen, and I was born in Luzhou. My ancestors raised horses for generations. By the time of Wanli, Luzhou had no horses to raise. Thanks to your majesty's kindness, I was able to go to Jeju County."  He resumed his ancestral business, and now serves as the deputy supervisor of the Jeju Horse Herding Supervisor."

    Another official said: "Your Majesty, the minister's name is Liang Gui. His ancestors were Mongolians. He moved to Jeju Island in the early Ming Dynasty. Now the minister is Han and has learned Chinese. The minister has a son, Liang Zhen, who served as a soldier under General Zhang. Pursue and kill  The false King Duoduo of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was just Gouzi who led cavalry into the mountains and was lucky enough to get the body of the false King Duoduo."

    Zhao Han nodded approvingly: "You are loyal to your duties and have raised your horses well. This time when you go back, everyone will be promoted."

    The Datong Army has initially gained a firm foothold in the Liaodong Peninsula.  The land there is sparsely populated, and the land is more than enough, so it is not conducive to irrigated mountain meadows, so no one wants to reclaim wasteland for farming.  After all, Jeju Island is too small, and it is necessary to find a new land for raising horses, and the Liaodong Peninsula is just right.

    At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there were many horse farms in Liaodong, but they had been swallowed up by Jiangmen during the Hongzhi period.

    Only the horse farms in the Liaodong Peninsula, especially those in Gaizhou and Fuzhou, were maintained until the Wanli period.  Even the "Horse City" was specially established and became the horse trading center of the entire Liaodong. Even the Jurchens also sent war horses for sale.

    The supervisor of the Jeju Horse Herding Supervision is about to be transferred to Liaodong to open up a new horse breeding base.  The vacated positions happened to be promoted by the two people in front of them.

    Wang Zhen pointed to a purebred warrima and said: "Your Majesty, this is a Tianzhu horse bred in Jeju Island. The horse is already two years old, tall and powerful, and can be used for battle. A Tianzhu horse over two years old, in the  Jeju Island has bred 847 horses, of which 102 male horses have been castrated as war horses."

    A horse can go to the battlefield at the age of two, which is probably a juvenile period, and it is considered a real adult at the age of three.

    The 102 male horses that were castrated should all be around three years old.  If the quality is not good enough to keep for breeding, and the quality reaches the level of war horses, then all eunuchs will be eunuched and sent to serve in the army.

    Zhao Han went around to the side of the horse, stroked the horse's mane and said, "It's really mighty."

    Can someone who is specially picked and dedicated to the emperor not be mighty?

    This horse is only two years old, and its shoulder height has reached 1.58 meters.  His fur is black and shiny, like jet black satin, except for a diamond-shaped white spot on his forehead.

    It's a pity that the two ears are too cute, and they stand up high and compare their hearts to each other, destroying the majestic image in an instant.

    Wang Zhen pointed to another relatively short horse and said: "Your Majesty, this horse is also two years old. Its father is a Hana horse, and its mother is a Tianzhu horse. It is also a good horse that can go to the battlefield."

    Hana horse, the hybrid offspring of Jeju Island native horse and Mongolian horse, is now the mainstream war horse of the dragoons.

    And the Indian Mawari horse has the blood of native Indian horses, Arabian horses, and Turkmen horses.

    That is to say, the pedigree of this re-crossed horse in front of him is simply endlessly complicated.  The shoulder height is about 1.36 meters, and the appearance is more like a Mongolian horse, but with a little bit of Mawari horse characteristics.

    Wang Zheng pointed to the last horse and said: "This is the offspring of the Jeju native horse and the Tianzhu horse. It can be used by the prince to ride."

    The real Jeju soil horse has a shoulder height of only about one meter, and a particularly majestic one can reach more than 1.15 meters.

    Zhao Han can imagine the scene of the breeding, a Mawari horse with a shoulder height of more than 1.5 meters, riding on a Jeju native horse with a shoulder height of only 1 meter It is simply being trampled.

    "This thing is designed to be ridden by children?" Zhao Han asked.

    Wang Zhen was a little embarrassed: "I came up on a whim and wanted to know what kind of mixed offspring the two horses with huge differences in size would look like. One type has more than ten horses, and this one is the best looking. Although it is still short  It is very good, but its limbs are not as stubby as the Jeju native horse. There is another one, with a shoulder height of nearly four feet, taller than a dragoon horse, but its stubby limbs can only be used to pull goods. And I tried it, that horse  Horse-drawn goods are easy to use, with great strength and endurance."

    Is this a genetic mutation?

    They are also descendants of Jeju Tuma and Mawari horses. One is only three feet tall, while the other is four feet tall. There is a difference of 30 centimeters.

    In this regard, Zhao Han had to encourage him: "It's good to try more. Since the four-foot-tall rough horse is easy to pull goods, let it continue to be bred with Tianzhu horses. Let's see what the offspring can become, maybe we can do it."  Make a good horse for hauling artillery."

    "I will go all out!" Wang Zhen was praised by the emperor, and she was immediately elated.

    It's just that it doesn't sound likeTake turns to practice, and at the same time also work as a horse farm.

    Xiaolingwei's horse farm mainly collects southern war horses, which are fed and trained before being sent to serve in the army.

    "Kowtow to Your Majesty!"

    Several eunuchs came to bow down, they had guarded the tomb here before.  After Zhao Han ascended the throne, most of them were expelled, but a few eunuchs remained to visit the graves of Zhu Yuanzhang, Queen Ma, and Zhu Biao.

    Zhao Han said: "Since you are here, let's go and say goodbye."

    After another walk, I finally came to Xiaoling.

    Zhao Han took his wife and children to offer incense to Zhu Yuanzhang, muttering a poem: "Ming Taizu has a spirit in the sky, and the junior Zhao Han came to worship. The king's legacy will be inherited by future generations, and you can smile nine springs!"

    After offering incense to pay his respects, Zhao Han turned around and said to Zhu Cihuang, Zhu Yuxi and others, "This is your ancestor, come and offer a stick of incense."

    Several old eunuchs, looking at the orphans of the previous dynasty, who worshiped Zhu Yuanzhang there, all huddled in a corner and quietly wiped their tears.

    I don't know if they are crying for Daming, Chongzhen, or themselves.

 Text 471 [Jiangshan Picture]

    The war horses collected from the south are only a few hundred horses, and the height at the shoulder is less than 1.3 meters.

    Most of them are mares, and selective breeding is also carried out here.

    When everyone came to the lake, the horse breeder immediately stepped forward to serve them, and brought more than 20 docile mares who were not pregnant.

    Zhao Han said: "Choose one each, if you don't know how to ride a horse, you can learn."

    Sisters Fei Rulan and Fei Rumei each choose a shorter horse.  The others followed suit, and they all chose the shortest horse. Only Concubine Tian Gui chose the vigorous horse.

    Tian Xiuying saw that none of Zhao Han's concubines could ride horses, and the surrounding men who could ride horses were all male guards. Immediately, Tian Xiuying recommended herself and said, "Ministers, come and teach you how to ride horses."

    "It's time to work." Fei Rulan replied with a smile.

    Even the female officials who went out with Zhao Han also chose their own horses.  They listened to Tian Xiuying's guidance and learned by themselves. Hunting activities instantly turned into driving school lectures.

    Pan Qimei was short, so she didn't bother with it, and took the maid to arrange the food.  Just spread out the blanket on the grass by the lake, then take out the food box and dinner plate, and put a variety of snacks on it.

    Liu Rushi's poems are full of chivalry, and he often recites gold and iron horses.

    It's a pity that it's all on paper, and she carefully climbed onto the horse's back.  Even with the guards helping to hold the reins, he still felt terrified, pulling the horse's mane tightly with both hands.

    ? It was also the first time riding a horse for the butcher's son, Yu Julian, a female official with a big arm and a round waist.

    This heroine was happy and unafraid, she rolled over and climbed up.  It might be because the weight was too heavy, the horse didn't dare to make a mistake, and after a mournful cry, it obediently obeyed You Julian's command.

    "Drive!"

    When You Julian came into contact with war horses for the first time, she only watched Concubine Tian Gui operate it once, and then she rode the horse and galloped wildly.

    Li Xiangjun enviously said: "Sister You is really majestic!"

    Li Xiangjun only took a test drive, and didn't join in the fun. He stood by and waited for orders, and occasionally went to Pan Qimei to help.

    Brothers and sisters Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yuxi also rode horses and paced carefully.

    "Brother, I'm really happy today," Aunt Zhu said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I came out to play, and I said I had fun at the girls' school, but after all, I'm not as comfortable as going out of the city."

    Zhu Cihong said: "Your Majesty said that when I am sixteen years old, I can go to the official examination. If I have an errand, I can make money. When the time comes, I will move out and bring you here. Every ten-day holiday, I can go out of the city.  Play, I will find you a good husband's family when the time comes."

    Auntie Zhu blushed and said, "I'm not going to marry."

    While the siblings were talking, Zhao Kuanghuan rode his own pony and galloped across the grass, scaring his guards out of their wits.

    Even Zhao Han didn't expect that the pony would be so fast when it really ran.

    "His Royal Highness, slow down, don't fall!" The guard stepped forward to catch up.

    Zhao Kuanghuan smiled and shouted: "I won't fall, I won't fall, riding a horse here is more fun than at home!"

    Seeing this, Fei Rulan quickly shouted: "Jun'er, come back quickly!"

    "Here we come, we come." Zhao Kuanghuan slowed down his horse and slowly rode back to his mother.

    Fei Rulan ordered his son to get off the horse, then picked up the whip, slapped his son's butt, and finally warned: "Children are not allowed to ride fast horses, wait until you grow up."

    Zhao Kuanghuan was particularly aggrieved, pouted and said, "Oh."

    There was no pain, Fei Rulan was reluctant, mainly because he was beaten in public, this kid felt very humiliated.

    Zhao Kuanghuan rubbed his buttocks, got on the pony again, approached Zhu Cihuang and Zhu Yuxi slowly, and said like offering treasures: "Brother Zhu, sister Zhu, how about I teach you how to ride a horse? I have learned it for a long time, and the teachers all praised me for riding well."  good."

    Zhu Cihong couldn't help laughing: "Okay, you teach us how to ride a horse."

    Fei Rulan stared at it for a while, and found that her son was no longer galloping, and finally he was relieved to do his own thing.

    Fei Rumei didn't seem to have much interest in riding a horse, so she ran to the lake and sat down cross-legged: "Seventh sister, what's there to eat today?"

    Pan Qimei picked up a piece of crisp candy and said, "I just learned the peanut crisp."

    Fei Rumei took a bite and nodded repeatedly: "Delicious!"

    "I asked the imperial chefs to taste it, and they all said it was delicious, so I dared to cook it for you." Pan Qimei sat by the side and watched, as if watching others eat what she made was very satisfying.

    Fei Rumei chewed the peanut crisps and sighed: "Oh, if Ah Fang is in Nanjing, it would be nice to come out to play together today."

    ?Zhao Zhenfang went to Hubei with her husband Zheng Sen.?? Enclosed by the city wall.  In a big city with a population of over one million, wild boars are flooding the mountains, which is very rare.

    There is no way, Xiaoling Mausoleum is a restricted area of ??the Ming Dynasty, the common people dare not enter, and the nearby wild animals have multiplied for three hundred years.

    Also stationed in Xiaolingwei's army, occasionally ran to hunt some game.  But the army guarding the mausoleum is also very small, and many military households have become serfs, and they are assigned to farm nearby military fields.  Eat nothing to earn money!

    After lunch, Zhao Han decided to give it a try. He picked up the flintlock and stepped on the horse.  He also asked with a smile: "Anyone who wants to hunt can go together. There are so many people."

    "Your Majesty, I would like to go with you, just to cheer you up!" You Julian said, patting her chest.

    "Your Majesty, the subject is also willing to go!" Another female official who was a missionary said.

    Concubine Tian Gui felt that this was an opportunity to gain the appreciation of the emperor, so she said: "Your Majesty, the women of the people have hunted before."

    "Then we all go together." Zhao Han said.

    Concubine Tian Gui chose a vigorous horse. She bent over to tie up her skirt, stepped on the stirrups and turned up, her light figure seemed to be dancing.

    Zhao Han praised: "Good skill! Give her a horse bow. ?

 Text 472【Amateur royal hunting】

    Among Zhao Han's emperor's personal guards, there are only about a hundred people with excellent riding skills.

    Most of the rest of the guards came to Xiaoling Racecourse to learn horse riding after they were responsible for protecting the emperor, and they were able to run on horses.

    Not only are there few who are proficient in riding, but almost none are proficient in hunting.

    When they learned that Zhao Han was going to hunt, they collected more than a dozen hounds in advance, and practiced them quietly in private.  But their ability to command the hounds was about the same as Zhao Han's ability to ride horses, and they couldn't handle the falcons even more.

    This may be the most amateur emperor hunting operation in Chinese history!

    "Wow woof!"

    "Oh, oh~~~~"

    The hounds kept barking, and the guards galloped on horseback, trying to scare the prey out of the forest.

    After tossing for a long time, only the rabbit who had been lost all the time jumped out.

    "Your Majesty, there are prey!" The guards shouted in surprise, more excited than killing a few Tartars on the battlefield.

    Because Tartars are everywhere, but prey in the mountains are rare.

    Zhao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and shouted: "Who is going to hunt this rabbit?"

    "I go!"

    ? You Julian rode out on her horse, bent her bow and drew the string, and shot an arrow, only three feet away from the hare.

    Tian Xiuying also galloped forward, but she didn't know that she performed supernormally, or she was still not up to standard, and the arrow flew past the rabbit.

    The hare fled in panic, and finally got into the grass and disappeared.

    Zhao Han praised: "Good arrow skills."

    You Julian blushed and said: "I haven't touched a bow and arrow for almost four years, and I will definitely hit it next time."

    Tian Xiuying explained: "Minnv hasn't drawn a bow for several years."

    The guards could only lead the hounds and go back to the mountains to look for wild animals.  After entering the mountain a little deeper, it was finally much easier, and soon a deer was driven out.

    Zhao Han was about to pick up the flintlock and take aim when Liu Rushi who followed him shouted, "Your Majesty, that's a pregnant female beast!"

    "Sure enough it's not the hunting season." Zhao Han had no choice but to put down the shotgun.

    Most wild animals mate in spring.  Take the roe deer as an example, they mate in late winter and early spring, and now the rapeseed has just been harvested, and the wheat is about to be harvested. These two months are the season for giving birth.

    The pregnant female deer was allowed to escape, and after a while, another wild boar was driven out.

    The body is not very big, only about two hundred catties.

    Tian Xiuying chased after her horse, let go of the rein with both hands, and on the undulating horse's back, unexpectedly pulled the standard horse bow to 70% full, and then shot at a high speed.

    Uh, I shot crooked again

    Tian Xiuying was suddenly embarrassed, and when the guards drove the wild boar back, she blushed and stopped at the horse bow.

    Phew!

    An arrow pierced the boar's body, only piercing through the fur, and the arrow dangled dangling from the boar's body.  Under the pain, the wild boar was hunted by hundreds of people, and fled down the mountain in a panic.

    There are also guards at the foot of the mountain, beating the gong to drive them back.

    "boom!"

    With a gunshot, the wild boar fell to the ground.

    Zhao Han put down the flintlock gun and reloaded the ammunition slowly.

    "Good shot!"

    "Your Majesty shoots!"

    Everyone immediately cheered and flattered.

    The wild boar was shot and arrowed, but it was still alive.  After falling to the ground for only two or three seconds, he got up again and ran away, and rushed straight to Zhao Han's side.

    Phew!  call out!  call out!

    Tian Xiuying, You Julian, and another female official all shot arrows at the same time.  Due to the close distance, all three arrows hit, but the wild boar still survived.

    Zhu Youdong, the captain of the personal guard, was afraid that the emperor would be in danger, so he immediately galloped out, leaned out after a few steps of charging, and slammed the wild boar on the forehead with a hammer.

    The wild boar staggered and ran a few steps, and finally fell down.

    Another guard said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this beast is not dead, so you can take another shot."

    Zhao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "One more shot, will I count it as a hunt?"

    "Hahaha!"

    Everyone laughed instantly, and the sycophant guard scratched his head in embarrassment.

    Tian Xiuying said: "Your Majesty, some prey have thick fur and must use special arrow clusters, otherwise they will not die if they hit ten arrows."

    "So that's how it is." Zhao Han suddenly realized.

    For example, the emperor in the early Qing Dynasty had special heavy hunting arrows.  When shooting tigers and other ferocious animals, the arrows are not sharp, but oval iron cones.  Instead of piercing damage, it deals hammer damage.

    Zhao Han is just playing around today, doing everything in his spare time.?The whole body was leaning back, rubbing his numb arms and excitedly saying: "It's ringing, it's ringing!"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Hold tighter, don't get hit by the firecracker in the face."

    Liu Rushi nodded again and again: "My husband, don't worry, I will practice well. I can't practice bow and arrow, and I don't have enough strength to draw the bow, but this firecracker is much easier."

    She has a heart to gallop on the battlefield, and she can only think about it at ordinary times, but now she is very satisfied to be able to shoot on horseback.

    Hunting until mid-afternoon, only one wild boar and one roe were hunted, and the nearby forests were polluted by them.

    Hundreds of guards continued to look for prey, while Zhao Han, concubines, and female officials dismounted to rest, and some guards stood around to guard.

    Zhao Han asked the female officials to disperse, and even Liu Rushi was invited aside, leaving only Tian Xiuying to say: "There are Tartars in Nanjing who are spying, and they are buying officials everywhere. If you and Chongzhen's children come to contact with strangers, don't make a show of it."  That's fine. If they give you the money, you will take it all and report to me quietly."

    Tian Xiuying was startled, and nodded immediately: "The girl obeys!"

    Zhao Han said again: "Your father went to Liaodong with the Tartars. After destroying the Tartars, I will try my best to save your father. You must not hide your actions because of this."

    "Yes!" Tian Xiuying was even more surprised.

    Tian Xiuying was named a noble concubine by Chongzhen, the first of all concubines, second only to the queen.  Tian Hongyu naturally followed Zhanguang, from the official position to Zuo Dudu, the highest real power position of a military general in the Ming Dynasty.

    Of course, this so-called real power is only relative to honorary titles, and it cannot actually intervene in military affairs.

    When Li Zicheng was in Beijing, Tian Hongyu was beaten half to death by torture.

    Fortunately, Tian Hongyu was a "Little Mengchang" with a wide range of friends, and hid in the church to be sheltered by missionaries.  After the Man Qing entered Beijing, he searched everywhere for the imperial family and clan of the Ming Dynasty. Tian Hongyu, as a foreign relative, was forcibly expelled from office by the Man Qing.

    Especially when I heard that Concubine Tian Gui was not dead, she probably went to the south. The Qing Dynasty did not let Tian Hongyu leave, and even took Tian Hongyu with her when she returned to Liaodong.

    Hou Fangyu's father, Hou Xun, was also alive, and he was all in Liaodong at the moment.

    Since the Manchu Qing sent to work carefully, they would definitely get in touch with Tian Xiuying and Hou Xun, as well as those children of Chongzhen.  (

 Text 473 [Detailed work]

    I don't know which Wolong came up with the idea, but the Man Qing's first bribe-taker in Nanjing turned out to be Qian Qianyi, a doctor of the Imperial Academy.

    The person who planned the acquisition seemed to know Qian Qianyi very well. He knew that this man was greedy for power and fame, and he was also passionate about money in private.  That being the case, Qian Qianyi must be dissatisfied, after all, he had to be in a "noble" position with no power or wealth.

    And they were very careful, starting from the past of Qian Qianyi's disciples.

    ?Seizuo pretends to be a merchant from Shanxi, and buys a house by Xuanwu Lake to open a trading company.  He also said that this year's fabrics are not easy to purchase, so he has been lingering in Nanjing, inviting non-official scholars to hold literary meetings all day long.

    Every time a literary meeting is held, there is a painting boat on Xuanwu Lake.

    Celebrities, fine wine, singing and dancing, poems even a scholar was hired to compile an anthology, and the businessman paid for everything, and in just over half a month, everything went well.

    Even literati who were already officials in the court were gradually invited to go.

    Among them are two representatives of "Xin Guan Xue": Wang Zhiliang, professor of Jinling University, and Fu Qingzhu, a master of gynecology.

    ?Because this editor claims to be from Shanxi, and he speaks of Shanxi in a clear way.  Wang Zhiliang and Fu Qingzhu are also natives of Shanxi. They have not returned to their hometowns for many years, and they feel friendly when they meet each other. They like to ask Xi Zuo about the current situation in Shanxi.

    As the fame grew, Xi Zuo finally invited Qian Qianyi.

    Instead of buying directly, he talked about his admiration for Qian Qianyi.  He also said that Mr. Qian Muzhai has the talent of Wang Zuo, and the new dynasty of Datong is waiting to be rejuvenated. He should go to the cabinet to formulate national policies. How can he be inferior to the top of the Imperial Academy?

    He flattered Qian Qianyi every time they met, and made Qian Qianyi so ecstatic that he really moved to become a political official.

    The next step is to inquire about it through small talk, and casually ask about the news of the Nanjing court.  Whenever Qian Qianyi said something unknown to the outside world, or analyzed a certain current policy, Xi Zuo would marvel at his lofty vision, and then toasted to express his admiration.

    After coming and going, Qian Qianyi and Na Xizuo became close friends who talked about everything.

    Relying on Qian Qianyi's fame, more scholars are attracted by his meticulous works!

    Qian Qianyi was summoned by Zhao Han, bowed his hands together and said: "I see Your Majesty!"

    "Sit down." Zhao Han said.

    Seeing that Xu Ying, Fu Shan, and Wang Zhiliang were also present, Qian Qianyi cupped his hands and sat beside him.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I heard that a Taigu businessman came to Nanjing. He doesn't do business every day. He just entertains scholars. Sir is also his guest?"

    Qian Qianyi explained: "Cao Xiaoyou also talks about business, and is sending people to buy cloth and ship it to Shanxi."

    Zhao Han pointed to Fu Shan and Wang Zhiliang: "Come on."

    Wang Zhiliang said: "This person is indeed with a Taigu accent, but if he speaks too fast, or when he is drunk, there are other accents mixed in."

    Qian Qianyi was puzzled and said, "Isn't it common for merchants to mix their voices when they travel around?"

    Fu Shan sneered: "This person claims to be the supervisor of Wen, but he doesn't know that the teacher of the late student is also the supervisor of Wen. He said that in the third year of the apocalypse, he was taught by the supervisor of Wen, but this summer, the supervisor of Wen has retired and returned to his hometown."

    Qian Qianyi felt more and more wrong, and subconsciously argued: "Maybe it's because I was taught in spring, I don't know. It's normal to remember things wrongly about twenty years ago."

    Fu Shan said: "Wan Sheng also felt that he had made a mistake, so he said that in the fall of that year, Wan Sheng was invited by various scholars, and hundreds of people saw him off as Governor Wen. Ask him if he has heard about it?"

    "How did he answer?" Qian Qianyi asked.

    Fu Shan said: "He didn't answer affirmatively, he just said that he went back to his hometown for a funeral in summer, and he didn't know that a scholar invited him to see him off."

    Qian Qianyi said: "He went back to his hometown for the funeral in the summer, and the literary inspector returned to his hometown in the summer. He was taught by the literary inspector in the spring. This is true, and the time is right."

    Fu Shan said: "Inspector Wen fell ill in the first winter, and he was promoted to the Shaoqing of Taipu Temple and did not take up his post. He was bedridden from the first winter until the next summer before he could get up and go back to his hometown to recuperate. He couldn't even get up from the sick bed.  Come on, how can I teach him personally? The late student was not sure at the time, and said that Governor Wen’s asthma had relapsed that year.  This is not clear!"

    Qian Qianyi frowned: "Is this person sent by Li Zicheng?"

    Fu Shan said: "This person must have lived in Shanxi for a long time, and he must have passed the imperial examination under the name of Wendu Xue, and he was even taught by Wendu Xue. But in the third year of Tianqi, he was definitely not in Shanxi. What happened after the third year of Tianqi  , and most of them were fabricated. Wansheng used many words about him. This person should be Shanxi who returned to Chongzhen in the second year. There are many stories about Shanxi.let's go.  "

    Qian Qianyi slowly got up, his legs were weak when he walked, and after going out, he found that his vest was completely wet with sweat.

    Realizing his embarrassment, Qian Qianyi gritted his teeth and said: "The traitor has harmed me so much, I want you to die without a place to bury you!"

    As soon as I got home, an old servant handed me a greeting card: "Master, Shopkeeper Cao invites you to have a banquet tonight."

    In the evening, Qian Qianyi went to Xuanwu Lake to attend an appointment, and listened to music while drinking in the boat.

    ?The detailed work Cao Fengji asked: "Why is the shepherd sighing in peace?"

    Qian Qianyi said angrily: "I heard what you said a few days ago. I went to see Your Majesty today. I want to resign from the Imperial Academy and become an official in charge of the court. I don't expect to be anything else. I'm just a fifth-rank doctor.  Your Majesty not only refused to do it for the officials, but also scolded me and asked me to compile books honestly in the Imperial Academy. The sages have a saying, to cultivate oneself, govern the family, govern the country and the world. I, Qian Muzhai, have cultivated myself for decades, so virtue and talent can only be compiled books  ? Can’t you be an official to rule the country and bring peace to the world?”

    Cao Fengji hurriedly added wine to Qian Qianyi, sighed and said: "Oh, the shepherd is a great talent, but it's a pity that his talent is not met. My uncle has a lot of connections in the Dashun court. If the shepherd wants to show his skills, he might as well go to Taiyuan with Wansheng."

    Qian Qianyi was surprised: "You are Li Zicheng's lobbyist?"

    "Late birth is not talented, but he is not stupid," Cao Fengji said with a smile, "Li Zicheng is not the master of enlightenment. Dashun will be destroyed sooner or later. Why should late birth be his lobbyist?"

    Qian Qianyi said unhappily: "Then you still persuade me to join the bandit?"

    Cao Fengji said: "If the herdsman goes to Li Zicheng, maybe he can become a prime minister. At that time, if he goes to Nanjing as a prime minister, won't he be reused?"

    Qian Qianyi shook his head and complained with some sincerity: "You don't know that His Majesty Nanjing doesn't care how big an official he is elsewhere. Even if he is the chief assistant of the cabinet of Ming Dynasty, he can only start from a small official if he is voted for.  He holds tight to official positions and titles, it doesn't seem like he is doing big things."

    Cao Fengji took the opportunity to say: "Such actions are really not enough to accomplish great things."

    Qian Qianyi smiled wryly: "Sometimes, this old man even thinks that it would be better to do the opposite if he is doing idle work under this single husband Cough, drink, drink.?…

 Text 473【Mission Impossible】

    There is a gazebo beside Xuanwu Lake.

    The surrounding area is open and full of flowers and plants, so literati like to gather here.

    There is a debate today.

    Datong Emperor Zhao Han's conceited argument, the cause and effect, has been embellished and spread all over the world.  In addition, the government has not been convicted of crimes for words, and now not only associations are common, but people hold debates every few days.

    Zhang Erqi was from Jiyang, Shandong. He hated imperial examinations and refused to become an official.  After more than ten years of drought, locust plagues, military disasters and plagues, Zhang Erqi began to reflect on how to govern the world. His approach was to find out from ancient rituals.

    Only in his thirties, Zhang Erqi is already proficient in the three rites, namely "Yi Li", "Zhou Li" and "Book of Rites".

    He taught a private school in his hometown, and scholars often visited him.  Since last autumn, primary schools have been built in various parts of Shandong. Zhang Erqi didn't want to be a primary school teacher, and private schools couldn't recruit many students, so he just stayed at home and studied behind closed doors.

    The magistrate of Jiyang County admired his talent and visited him personally to ask for advice.

    After some academic exchanges, the magistrate said: "Mr.'s talent should be heard all over the world. Now that Shandong is withered and the style of writing is declining, why not go to Nanjing to spread knowledge?"

    Therefore, Zhang Erqi came to Nanjing and found a job as an editor of a bookstore.

    He also contributed to various literary agencies in Nanjing, and published several articles discussing "rituals" one after another.  In just half a year, he became famous and was besieged by opponents at the same time.

    At this moment, Zhang Erqi is expounding his own point of view: "Husband etiquette is to restrain people's arrogance and resist people's cowardice, so as to be in the middle. The hostages in the world are inconvenient, and they can't be safe. If they are uneasy, they may become  Dao Lie refers to the ritual things and praises the frank and easy words, so as to explore the deepest, the largest, and the most exhausted places, so the one who sticks to the etiquette is the way of unity of heart"

    The general meaning is: Li can restrain people's surly spirit and resist people's cowardice.  People in the world don't understand the essence of etiquette, so they can't really observe etiquette.  Failure to abide by etiquette may result in a decline in morality and the collapse of ritual and music.  People point to presents and say, rituals are these things, and they are very easy to do.  Then go to study Gangchang Confucianism, study the Chaste Archway, and use the principles of heaven and earth to package and explain it.  In this way, everyone's heart of abiding by etiquette will become abiding by the rules and regulations.

    All the scholars couldn't help but nod their heads, and even Zhang Erqi's opponents thought that this passage was level.

    But then Zhang Erqi said: "Rites are the collection and embodiment of Dao. Even if there is a way of benevolence and goodness, if you don't use rituals as a way of enlightenment, you can't spread it to all people in the world. What the sage supports is what the ritual supports."  "What the sage criticizes is what Li opposes"

    "Ridiculous," a scholar interrupted immediately, "You simply say that a saint is a rite!"

    Zhang Erqi said: "The reason why a sage is holy is because he knows and observes the rites. Therefore, if the sage is indecent, if he knows the rites and keeps the rites, he is holy. If you can also know the rites and keep the rites, you can also be saints. This  Li is the real ritual, not the appearance of the moral code. The moral code is the performance of the ritual, but not the ritual itself."

    There is no solution to this statement, because he himself defines a saint and blocks all avenues of rebuttal for opponents.

    Another scholar said: "The gift of love, the gift of love, the ceremony is nothing but love."

    Zhang Erqi shook his head and said, "Love is divided into good and evil, but etiquette is not different from good to evil. If there is evil, you should suppress it with courtesy. It's like I love a woman, but she is married. Although this feeling is not evil  However, if it is not in line with etiquette, I cannot be a lady and a gentleman. If I ask for mercy in everything, the morality will be corrupted and the world will be in chaos. In the old dynasty, civil officials were corrupt and military generals were tyrannical.  Restrict education."

    A scholar sneered and said, "Arguing against reason! Those examples you just cited are all about desire, not emotion. Zhu Ziyan, preserve the law of nature, and destroy human desire. Marriage of husband and wife, full stomach, is also the law of heaven; wives and concubines gather in groups, big fish and big meat  , human desires."

    Zhang Erqi said: "Observing the etiquette is abiding by the laws of heaven, which is exactly what I said."

    Another scholar asked: "Then tell me, should widows remarry? I think they should remarry, but Zhu Zi advised widows not to remarry. Is Zhu Zi a sage? If he is a sage, based on what you just said, the sage supports it.  Even if Li supports it, is it also an act of indecency for a widow to remarry?"

    Zhang Erqi said: "A widow should not remarry according to the etiquette, but everything has the right to change. Now the north has gone through wars, husbands lose their wives, and wives lose their husbands. If widowers and widows can reorganize their families, they can help each other and prosper  People, this is the way of human relations. Human relations are also rituals."

    "Haha, human relations are love, so what is etiquette?" The scholar laughed, "Widowers and widows get married, and it is reasonable to break the etiquette. What does this mean? It shows that when there is a chance of change, love should be the first. Ruthless etiquette, then  It's evil etiquette and fallacy!"

    Zhang Erqi said: "No, no.?Cao Fengji smiled.

    Zuo Xiaocheng spread out his hands: "Shopkeeper Cao, that my hands are a little tight."

    With a kind smile on his face, Cao Fengji asked someone to fetch five taels of silver, stuffed it into Zuo Xiaocheng's hand and said, "Do something for me, there is plenty of silver, and there will be great rewards in the future."

    Zuo Xiaocheng was in contact with the grandson of the consort of the previous dynasty, that is, the consort who brought Zhu Cihong and Zhu Yuxi to Nanjing.  His family was also brought to Nanjing to settle down in the spring of the following year.

    Cao Fengji intends to engage in the trick of restoring the prince of the Ming Dynasty. He does not seek success, but only seeks to cause trouble. It is best to involve some important officials in Nanjing.

    As for Zuo Xiaocheng, he met him when he was holding a literary meeting, and he was the first to be bribed by him.

    After all the details have been investigated, he is a talented Jiangxi scholar of the Ming Dynasty.  When Zhao Han's territory consisted of only one town, Zuo Xiaocheng helped the government to suppress it, and took refuge in several governors, governors, prefects, and general soldiers.

    Today, Zuo Xiaocheng is completely down and out, wandering around Nanjing all day, earning a living by doing cultural favors for others.

    Moreover, Zuo Xiaocheng enjoys gambling. The casinos in Nanjing have long been banned, but there are always outlaws who gather to gamble in private.

    Destitute, addicted to gambling, and has an enmity with the Emperor of Datong, isn't it easy to buy him off?

    Zuo Xiaocheng took the silver and went straight to the Qinhuai River, happily inviting people to drink flower wine.  After closing the door, he said to the people who drank the flower wine together: "This is a whimsical plan. It actually wants to encourage the former prince's son-in-law to bring the former prince back to the throne, and also wants to involve the children of the ministers of the court. The action is generous.  Give money every time you do something."

    The person at the same table ordered: "You should do your best to do what he asks you to do. After the incident fails, it would be even better if he can escape back to Liaodong together."

    Zuo Xiaocheng became anxious immediately: "Don't, Liaodong is bitterly cold, Tartars are everywhere, won't this make me die?"

    The person at the same table said: "There is an order from above to develop detailed operations in Liaodong. They are not ordinary spies, but those who can talk to the nobles of the Tartars. We will take good care of the children born in your outer room. We will take the exam and become an official in the future."  Definitely extra points. If you can come back alive from Liaodong, the whole family will have 30 acres of farmland as a reward. Don’t worry, the Tartars are very good at careful farming, and you can eat delicious food and spicy food when you go to Liaodong. If you are captured by the Datong Army, you can report it  Identity, just bring you back."

    Zuo Xiaocheng reluctantly agreed: "Okay, let's go to Liaodong for a walk. ?

 Text 474 [Thinking of the state of the world]

    Ran Zaijing has been very happy in the past two years, but at the same time he is not very happy.

    His grandfather was the son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Chongzhen was his cousin.  But to be honest, it's very boring, the family has no real power, and there is nowhere to start if you want to be greedy for money.

    Historically, Li Zicheng tortured his salary in Beijing and beat his son-in-law half to death, but he couldn't find any silver taels.

    After Ran Zaijing was taken to Nanjing, he was like a fish in water.  When he was in Beijing, he was a minor player among the nobles.  But when he arrived in Nanjing, as Chongzhen's cousin, many dudes took the initiative to play with him.

    There is no need for Ran Zaijing to pay for the usual high-end consumption.

    The value of his existence is to have fun with these dudes.  The majors are so perfect, cockfighting and running dogs, cages and birds, flowers, wine and tea, interjections and singingRan Zaijing is proficient in everything!

    Occasionally tell some interesting stories about the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and tell about the entertainment activities of the nobles in Beijing.  No matter how he made it up, the group of bumpkins in Nanjing gathered around him and listened carefully, and they were amazed when he talked about the wonderful things.

    It's a pity, no matter how many stories you have learned, there will be a day when the story will be finished.

    The playboys in Nanjing gradually lose their sense of freshness to him and become a dispensable existence, and often stop bringing him along for fun.

    ? Today I finally got someone taken advantage of. I invited him to Goulan to drink flowers and wine, and slept until the next morning before returning home.

    "Where have you been fooling around again?"

    As soon as he passed through the yard, Ran Zaijing heard his grandfather's voice.

    Ran Zaijing didn't take it seriously, and replied with a playful smile: "Back to my grandfather, I drank too late last night and rested at a friend's house."

    Ran Xingrang snorted coldly: "It's those cronies again!"

    "It's just playing together." Ran Zaijing argued.

    Ran Xingrang suddenly sighed: "Oh, with you father and son, in what life have I committed crimes!"

    Although Xu Ying's meticulous work brought the son-in-law's family to Nanjing.  But the princess died of illness halfway through, and the worry-free son and eldest grandson all went out of business after settling in Nanjing.

    This father and son met in Dachawei, Qinhuai River.

    At that time, they each went to the brothel to seek pleasure. They wanted to meet famous prostitutes but couldn't get them, so the two groups were arranged to drink tea together.  The father and son bumped into each other head-on, staring at each other, and it was inconvenient to recognize each other, so they called each other "Mr."

    Ran Xingrang called his grandson into the study, and said: "I got rid of this old face, and asked my relationship to find a job for you. The Physics Museum of Qintianyuan lacks a warehouse boy. Although he is not an official, if he does well,  You can also be promoted to be an official. What's more rare is that this job is very leisurely, as long as you can read and write. You can read more books when you are usually doing things. You must be assessed to be promoted to an official. One test is Datong Theory  , the second test is the rules and regulations of the physics museum."

    Ran Zaijing suddenly became anxious: "Not even an official? If you want to be an official, you have to be promoted? Isn't that a government servant! Grandfather, no matter what, we are also the clan of the old dynasty, so where are we going to put our face on it?"

    "You still want to lose face?" Ran Xingrang was furious, "The name of your father and son has been spread all over the Qinhuai River! The old man had to bite the bullet and ask for help. He could have arranged official affairs. When people heard that it was you, they would die  I don’t want to help. The old man begged hard, so he agreed to let you do a handyman first! Three months, as long as you don’t miss work and don’t make troubles, you can become an official!”

    Ran Zaijing said impatiently: "Father is not working, let him do chores."

    "Say it again!" Ran Xingrang trembled with anger.

    Of course Ran Zaijing didn't dare to disobey, he lowered his head and said perfunctorily, "All right, all right, I'll do it for a few days."

    A few days later, Ran Zaijing was fired because he was late and left early for no reason. He also contradicted the warehouse supervisor and scolded the supervisor's ancestors for eighteen generations in public.

    He didn't dare to go home, so he was recommended by Zuo Liangcheng to Cao Fengji, who took him to enjoy the painting boat for three days in a row.

    Ran Zai Jingle didn't think about Shu, so one day he said: "Treasurer Cao is happy these days, so he won't be a fairy."

    Cao Fengji smiled and said: "My uncle is a wealthy businessman from Shanxi. This time he came to the south to handle business, and he has his own staff to obey the arrangements. As for myself, I make friends with gentry and celebrities, and make good relations with officials in Nanjing. There are acquaintances in this official, business  Wouldn't it be easy to do?"

    "The shopkeeper Cao is really rich and honored, eating, drinking and having fun all day is considered a serious business." Ran Zaijing envied.

    Cao Fengji said: "Your Excellency is also rich and honored. How prestigious is the honor of the former court. I heard that Lord Chongzhen is still your cousin?"

    Ran Zaijing waved his hands again and again: "Don't say it, don't say it, I get angry when I say it. I am very rich? My grandfather turned down his face and asked for help, but he only found a job as a government servant. Today's His Majesty is also stingy, since he can tolerate the old court  Why don't you give a decent house and give some idlers in the governmentSo, send some silver taels every month as regular money?  "

    Cao Fengji echoed, "That's how it should be."

    "Drink, drink!" Ran Zaijing became angrier as he thought about it.

    Cao Fengji said with emotion again: "A few years back, Your Excellency is a distinguished family member, but I am just a grassroots person. Now Sansheng is lucky to be able to have a drink and talk with an honorable person like Your Excellency."

    "What kind of nobleman am I? No, no." Ran Zaijing was actually very happy that someone finally recognized his identity.

    One applauded vigorously, the other smugly, after drinking, Ran Zaijing already regarded Cao Fengji as a confidant.

    Finally, Cao Fengji asked casually: "I heard that it was Grandfather Ling who sent Daming's prince and daughter to Nanjing. This is really a great contribution!"

    Ran Zaijing became more and more resentful: "Your Majesty today is very mean and ungrateful. No matter how great my grandfather's contribution is, he only rewarded a few dozen taels of silver, and the house he bestowed was also very shabby. With so many people in my family, the house is not  I can’t live there! You don’t get a monthly salary, and you have to earn your own living. In the past, in Beijing, everyone had a salary!”

    Seeing that Ran Zaijing was already drunk, Cao Fengji asked, "Aside from Grandfather Ling, who were the loyal ministers from the old dynasty who escorted the prince south?"

    "There are no loyal ministers in this world, they are all" Ran Zaijing thought of someone, and suddenly sneered, "There is one loyal minister. At that time, the eunuch and guards escorted him out of Beijing under the pretext of offering sacrifices to the ancestors. He pretended to be a thief and killed him. The eunuchs and guards  I was so frightened that the birds scattered. There was a red-helmet guard who didn't run away and devoted himself to protecting the prince. This person is also in Nanjing now, and he is also the captain of the patrol. Do you think he is stupid? His monthly salary is not much, and he has to support his family  , To actually buy pastries for the prince and princess every month as a filial piety."

    Cao Fengji's eyes lit up, he unlocked a new character, and hurriedly said: "This loyal minister and righteous man, it's a pity that we can't see him!"

    Ran Zaijing smiled and said: "It's not easy to see him? He leads patrols every day, and he can be seen on the street. He is a dignified red-helmed general and the bodyguard of the Ming emperor. When he comes to Nanjing, he can only be a policeman."

    Good catch!

    Cao Fengji became more and more happy.

    He continued to inquire about the news and learned that this person was named Zhou Yingyuan, so he went to secretly investigate the situation the next day.

    It soon became apparent that Ran Zaijing's news was delayed.  Zhou Yingyuan is not a patrol captain, he has been promoted long ago, and he is in charge of the security of the entire Anbifang—roughly equivalent to the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.

    Cao Fengji then asked Ran Zaijing to introduce him to him, said some words of admiration, and said that he missed the old dynasty and liked to make friends with loyal ministers and righteous men of Ming Dynasty.

    But Zhou Yingyuan said with a dark face: "What is the new dynasty and the old dynasty? Now there is only one Datong court. You must not talk nonsense and harm the children of Lord Chongzhen. You should do your business honestly, and you must not visit everywhere in the future, otherwise you will be killed."  Catch them and treat them as spies!"

    Cao Fengji quickly apologized, and said with a miserable expression: "General Zhou, don't get angry, the grass people are just oh! The grass people are also born as scholars, and those who have achieved fame, who doesn't enjoy the emperor's favor?  But I can’t repay your kindness. Now His Majesty Chongzhen is gone, and I happen to come to Nanjing to do business. I really I can’t help it, I want to see the royal family of Ming Dynasty. But I don’t dare to be presumptuous, for fear of offending the princes and daughters  When disasters come, you can only make friends with loyal ministers like generals."

    Zhou Yingyuan saw that he spoke with sincerity, couldn't help feeling a lot, and immediately said in a relaxed tone: "It's good that you have this kind of heart, it's not easy, and you are not the kind of ungrateful person. But you must also remember that today's Holy Son,  The royal family of the old dynasty was not weak. All the princes and daughters could study, and they could take the imperial examinations to be officials after they reached adulthood. If you are really loyal to Lord Chongzhen, then don’t disturb the Ming bloodline. If you know that your children can be treated like this, your majesty must be able to  Smiling Jiuquan."

    "General Zhou is right." Cao Fengji didn't dare to say more.

    Sedition does not happen overnight, he has plenty of time to plan.  If it doesn't work for one year, it's two years, and if it doesn't work for two years, it's three years. It's best to delay it until the Qing Dynasty is destroyed.

    Cao Fengji likes life in Nanjing, which is much more comfortable than Liaodong and Shanxi.

    He is indeed from Shanxi, but he is not Cao Sanxi's nephew, but a descendant of the Fan family of the "Eight Great Imperial Merchants".

    Their whole family is doing business in the Zhangjiakou area. With the sparse population in Beizhili, the family business is not easy to do.  The Manchus withdrew to Liaodong, and even took some family members of the "Eight Great Imperial Merchants" away, and now they are all held as hostages in Shenyang City.

    ?Traitors belong to traitors, and making money belongs to making money. Tartars see that they are dying. Since they can’t exchange for glory and wealth, who the hell is willing to work like a dog?

    Sometimes, Cao Fengji even thought that he might as well give up his wife and children in Liaodong, and just vote for the Datong court in Nanjing.

    However, Cao Fengji was not the only one who came to Nanjing to work carefully.

    Cao Fengji didn't know exactly how many there were, let alone where they were hidden.  He was afraid that after he betrayed, not only his wife and children would be gone, but he would also be silenced.

    Cao Fengji now spends half of his energy on being a spy, and the other half on creating people crazily.  The maid he brought from the north was kept in the room and tossed about every night, just hoping to give birth to a son as soon as possible.

    Once you have offspring, you can pass on incense.

    At that time, when things were not going well, he directly surrendered with his youngest son and asked for the protection of Emperor Datong.

 Text 475【Information】

    Fei Rulan was shaking the spinning wheel in the house, spinning carefully and earnestly.

    She once asked Li Banghua who was the wisest queen in the past.  Li Banghua replied that when it comes to empresses from ancient times, there is nothing better than Empress Ma at the founding of the previous dynasty.

    Fei Rulan asked again what Empress Ma had said and done, and Li Banghua told many stories.  For example, spinning and weaving in the palace was the move of Empress Ma, and Zhu Yuanzhang had to plow in the spring every year. They set an example to persuade Nongsang.

    ? As a beginner in spinning, Fei Rulan's speed is very slow, and occasionally she has to bury her head to check carefully.

    Sitting opposite her was Mrs. Liu, who was also spinning, but at a much faster speed.

    Fei Rulan praised from the bottom of her heart: "Madam Xu is really virtuous, she is so good at spinning, and I am afraid that the family affairs are also taken care of properly."

    Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "The empress has a body of ten thousand gold, and she spins cotton yarn by herself, which is the real virtuous and virtuous."

    Asking for some weaving skills, Fei Rulan asked again: "Where did you buy Madam Xu's makeup? It smells quite quiet and elegant."

    Mrs. Liu replied: "Lanxiu Pavilion, it's a time-honored brand."

    "Next time I'll ask someone to buy some." Fei Rulan said with a smile.

    One of the duties of being a queen is to summon the minister's wife and appease the female relatives in the minister's family.

    Although Mrs. Liu has met the queen several times, she feels uneasy every time she meets her.  She was originally the wife of a scholar in the countryside, and her husband was fond of prostitution and gambling, and even if the funds for prostitution were not enough, he was detained and told her to bring money to a brothel to redeem him.

    At that time, I felt that the sky was dark, and life was completely hopeless.

    Unexpectedly, her husband was suddenly beaten to death by gangsters, and she was picked up by her husband's friend to take care of her.  At the beginning, I didn't think too much, after all, I was just a widow, and she was older than Xu Ying.  Xu Ying was handsome, full of talent, and knew how to make money in business.

    She can only secretly fall in love, even if it is just a crush, she often blames herself for not being a woman, and feels that a widow should not have such thoughts.

    But that kind of emotion is really hard to suppress, the more Xu Ying abides by the etiquette, the more she takes care of him, the stronger her secret love becomes.  Her mind was full of Xu Ying's appearance all day long, and when Xu Ying came back a little late after going out, she was worried about what would happen to her, and even had a dream one day that she was doing embarrassing things with Xu Ying.

    ?Lonely men and widows, dry sticks and raging fire, after all, they have surpassed the code of ethics.

    Mrs. Liu felt that she was very happy. Although she did not hold a wedding, she only reported her marriage to the government, received the marriage certificate and registered as a family.  But the little days were ordinary, and the love between the husband and wife was extraordinary, and it was countless times better than before.

    Until Zhao Tianwang occupied the entire Jiangxi province, Xu Ying suddenly said: "I am from Zhao Zongzhen, and I am going to Yangzhou for business. I may be able to go home once a year. Mrs. Lao takes care of the house and takes good care of the two children."

    Mrs. Liu didn't think much about it at the time. After all, there were many people who took refuge in Zhao Tianwang, thinking that her husband was just one of them.

    But Zhao Tianwang became the emperor in Nanjing, and Xu Ying also brought the whole family over.  It turned out that her husband's identity was false, and her parents and brothers were also present. That was the first time she met her in-laws.

    Even so, Mrs. Liu has not figured out the situation yet, because her husband is too low-key, and his presence in the Nanjing court is very low.

    Until the queen invited her to dinner, and amiably chatted with her!

    Mrs. Liu was greatly shocked that time, and she didn't recover for several days.  Gradually, she got acquainted with the wives of other ministers, and occasionally went out to hang out together.

    The most interesting one is Zhang Tieniu's wife, a remarried widow with a strong body.

    I heard that Huangjia Town has just been taken down, and His Majesty assigned wives to the soldiers.  General Zhang didn't have much pursuit at the time, he just wanted to live a life that would give birth, and he fell in love with the current wife at a glance-because the butt is so good to give birth.

    Sure enough, she gave birth to four children in one breath.

    Now they quarrel when they meet each other. Zhang Tieniu thinks his wife is unattractive, has no education, and has a domineering personality.  Now that the troops are stationed in the north, Zhang Tieniu does not take his wife home, but only lets her take care of the children at home.

    Some time ago, his wife cried in front of the queen.  It is said that the husband is so prosperous and dislikes the wife who is a mess. After going to the north, he only wrote a letter and returned home half a year. He must have raised a young child outside.

    Every time we meet to go shopping, it is Zhang Tieniu's wife who is in charge of bargaining, and his face is flushed because of tens of pennies.

    At first, Mrs. Liu felt ashamed, but she gradually got used to it. As long as this woman is present, everyone always laughs very happily

    Mrs. Liu was spinning yarn with the queen in the house, while her husband was sitting in the courtyard, chatting with the emperor about official business.

    Xu Ying ate the pastries brought by Pan Qimei and said: "Cao Fengji built a business in Nanjing, and 30% of the employees are from Taigu, Shanxi.?Some Mongolian tribes contacted and used food to incite them to rebel at critical times!  "

    Because the prefectures and counties near Jizhou are close to Shanhaiguan Pass, they were also the first target of the Manchu Qing crossing the Great Wall to plunder, so the common people had been looted or fled long ago.  Before Chongzhen died, there were mostly soldiers and military families, and there were not many real ordinary people left.

    Now the population is even sparser, so neither Zhao Han nor Li Zicheng will occupy Jizhou, so as not to become the target of looting by the Tartars.

    Now it seems that this autumn can go to occupy, and then go north to the Great Wall to contact the Mongols.

    These Mongolians are mothers if they have milk, and it is easy to drag them to beat the Qing Dynasty.  As long as the food is traded to them, as long as the Manchu Qing continues to show signs of decline, the Mongolian tribes will rebel sooner or later.

    Xu Ying continued: "After the Puppet Qing Dynasty returned to Liaodong, the plague raged in Shandong. Merchants in Shandong, Jiangsu, and Anhui have already cut off contact with the Puppet Qing Dynasty. But according to my estimate, there should be a few more, such as selling a large number of Liao ginseng  merchants. The secret work in Nanjing is more or less related to these merchants, I am afraid that there are more than one or two secret works!"

    Zhao Han's face was gloomy: "Check slowly, don't rush, don't let any one go. ?

 Text 476 [Garbage Spy]

    Until the wheat was harvested everywhere, Cao Fengji didn't make any big moves, and he didn't even contact Concubine Tian, ??the prince and daughter directly.

    Moreover, it really started to do business, selling wool textiles shipped from the north.

    Authentic northwest goods are quite popular in Jiangnan.

    Shaanxi and Gansu are the centers of the wool textile industry, and both belong to Li Zicheng's territory now. It seems that Li Zicheng is also encouraging commercial development, otherwise the goods from Shaanxi and Gansu could not be easily transported to Nanjing.

    There are four main types of Shaanxi-Gansu wool textiles: seal, brown, felt, and cloth.

    ? To keep one's mouth shut, Mao Xi uses woolen rope.

    As for Mao Brown and Mao Xi, both belong to sweaters.  The former is rough in workmanship and only worn by the lower class; the latter can be understood as a wool coat, which is slightly more upscale.

    In addition, Shanxi belongs to the northern silk weaving center: Nansongjiang, Beilu'an, Yitianxia.

    The "Lu'an" in this sentence refers specifically to the area around Changzhi, Shanxi, where the raw materials for textile silk come from Langzhong, Sichuan.

    Li Zicheng has had a hard time this year, and he can't take it anymore if he wants to rule normally.  The refugees in some prefectures and counties were resettled and reclaimed last winter. It is good to have enough food. If they want to pay officials, they have to rely on commercial taxes.

    Wool textiles from Shaanxi and Gansu, silk cloth from Lu'an, and salt taxes from the salt ponds in Shanxi and Shaanxi, Li Zicheng relied on these to maintain his rule.

    Zhao Han had a bit of a bad taste, so he brought Cao Fengji in for questioning.

    Cao Fengji was terrified when he saw the official messenger, and felt that he hadn't exposed anything, so he bit the bullet and was taken away.  Unexpectedly, he was taken to see the emperor, and he immediately became excited. It was not only convenient for espionage activities, but also convenient for doing business in Nanjing in the future.

    In Cao Fengji's vision, it is best to wipe out the Manchus within three to five years, and the safety of his family is naturally the best, and it is helpless to die in the chaos.

    However, he can no longer be controlled from now on, marry a wife and have children to start a business in Nanjing, and live a prosperous life in peace and stability.

    "Grassmen kowtow to His Majesty!"

    Cao Fengji took a peek at the emperor, knelt down and kowtow respectfully.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Get up, give me your seat."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty." Cao Fengji kowtowed again to thank you.

    Zhao Han asked the female officer to bring wool textiles: "Are these your goods?"

    Cao Fengji was apprehensive again, and answered cautiously: "Exactly. There are many wool cloths in the northwest, and cotton cloths in the south of the Yangtze River. Grassmen sell wool cloth to the south and cotton cloth to the northwest, and earn some meager profits from it."

    Zhao Han pointed to Mao Brown and said: "This kind of sweater is too rough to touch the neck, and it will be rubbed with red marks in a quarter of an hour."

    Cao Fengji said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although the clothes worn by the brown-haired poor are rough and heavy, they are very warm in winter."

    Zhao Han pointed to Mao Xi again and said, "This kind of sweater is okay."

    Cao Fengji took the opportunity to say: "If His Majesty likes it, the grass people will let people select wool materials and make a gorgeous and warm wool cloak for His Majesty."

    "I don't take advantage of merchants," Zhao Han said, "Sell more of this kind of woolen cloth, and I plan to design a windbreaker myself, and give it to civil servants and generals as a protection against the cold."

    What is a windbreaker?

    Although Cao Fengji couldn't understand, he still said excitedly: "Caomin must live up to his trust!"

    Zhao Han played with this wool seal again, and said, "Can the wool rope be spun thinner? Use selected wool and weave it into yarn. The thinner the better."

    Cao Fengji still didn't understand, nodded and replied: "If it can be detailed, it must be."

    Zhao Han ordered: "It is so thin that it is only two or three cents of this woolen rope. If you can spin such thin woolen yarn, I will let the government buy as much as you can bring."

    "I'll send my men back to the north immediately!" Cao Fengji was overjoyed, he felt that he was about to get rich.

    Zhao Han doesn't care about this. It's a secret agent. Apart from engaging in countermeasures and arresting other secret agents, he can also use this person to develop the wool textile industry in the north.  Let him send someone to deliver the news to stimulate the development of wool textiles in advance. In the future, the unification of the north will be able to pick the fruits, and it can also win over Mongolian herdsmen through wool textiles.

    In the Ming Dynasty, the wool textile industry in Northwest China developed greatly, but due to the quality of wool, it was basically difficult to be elegant, and cashmere was still accepted by the rich.

    However, the production of cashmere is too low, and goats are rarely raised in the northwest and grasslands!

    Zhao Han decided to vigorously guide and promote it. The worst ones are made into felt, the better ones are made into carpets, the better ones are made into brown cloth, and the better ones are made into windbreakers and woolen yarn.

    Although Zhao Han doesn't know how to knit sweaters, he has already made wool. What is the difficulty in knitting sweaters?

    This is not a trivial matter, and it has a lot to do with politics.

    &Zhao Han's hatred, it is normal for Shanxi salt merchants to be spies for Tartars.

    The Shanxi salt merchant who was being targeted at this time was also somewhat related to famous ministers Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei, so he could be regarded as a collateral descendant of Wang and Zhang.

    After Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Siwei succeeded as the chief assistant, and he didn't ask himself what he was doing.

    Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu, nephews and uncles, one is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the other is a feudal official, and they all come from salt merchant families.  Gao Yongchun, the censor at the time, said after inspecting the salt affairs: "The salt law is bad, and the power is rampant, and the big business patents." The ID numbers of Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu were almost missed.

    Even so, Gao Yongchun was forced to resign by Zhang Siwei.

    After the reform of Emperor Hongzhi's salt law, Shanxi salt merchants have begun to decline.  It was Zhang Siwei and other Shanxi ministers who, under the banner of reforming the salt law, reshuffled the cards during the Wanli period, making Shanxi salt merchants arrogant again.

    For the Shanshan salt merchants who have settled in Yangzhou for a long time, Zhao Han cut off their source of income, which is a sworn enemy!

    A month later, Xu Ying came to investigate the progress: "The Shanxi merchants Wang, Zhang, and Fan in Yangzhou, as well as the Shanxi merchant Li, all these salt merchants have problems. Either pass the news to the Tartars, or pass the news to Li Zicheng  .Here in Nanjing, there is a businessman surnamed Ai who is very suspicious, but nothing has been caught yet. Your Majesty, do you want to arrest him for interrogation?"

    Zhao Han also wanted to watch an exciting spy war movie, but the investigation went so smoothly that it was unexpected.

    Ancient spies, professional skills are too rough!

    There is nothing to be gained by luring the snake out of the cave. It is nothing more than a bunch of literati drinking and complaining. If they really make them seek refuge with the Tartars, I am afraid that each of them will be scared to death.

    really boring

 Text 477【Impermanence in black and white】

    Finally someone used the "Benevolent Merchant" badge and met the emperor very smoothly.

    "Meet Your Majesty!" Wang Mingran bowed respectfully.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Give me a seat."

    Wang Mingran cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Zhao Han picked up the Renshang badge on the table and threw it over to Wang Mingran.  He didn't hear the reason for his visit, but said: "I heard that you have a garden that is not a department. Chen Jiru wrote the name of the garden himself. Now it is an academic exchange center in Hangzhou."

    Wang Mingran replied with a smile: "Your Majesty's witty words, the academic exchange center, although the grassroots have never heard of it before, they can understand what it means when they hear it. It's just that the grassroots don't have that much face, and they just entertain friends occasionally."

    "When I go to the West Lake, I must go to Buxie Garden to play." Zhao Han said.

    "The grass people are waiting for your driver." Wang Mingran said happily.

    The atmosphere of the chat between the two was very casual, and Wang Mingran was regarded as a salt merchant who had made great achievements.  Wang Mingran contributed at least half of Xu Ying's rapid development of the intelligence system in Jiangsu. Of course, she also gained a large share of the salt franchise.

    Unlike the imperial merchants, it is better than the imperial merchants!

    Hearing Zhao Han's self-proclaimed name, he knew that he regarded Wang Mingran as one of his own, otherwise he would definitely call himself "Zhen".

    As for the non-relationship garden, it is a West Lake painting boat, monks and celebrities, qinxiao tea wine, beauties and confidantes, and it is sought after by many literati.  At the same time, there are quite a lot of rules, no servants, no big plays, no noise, no running around to borrow money, no posturing, no red tape In the past two years, it has become more and more famous, and it is already the number one in the south of the Yangtze River.  Talk about making friends.

    After Junmin chatted, Zhao Han asked about the Lianghuai Salt Industry, and Wang Mingran answered carefully and in detail.

    Finally, Zhao Han asked: "Tell me, what's the matter with you this time?"

    Wang Mingran got up and cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the universities in Jiangsu and Anhui provinces have not finalized their school sites for a long time"

    "I know what you are going to say," Zhao Han interrupted immediately, "Do you want to build a university in Huizhou or Yangzhou?"

    Wang Mingran said: "Your Majesty has learned from you."

    Zhao Han directly gave a clear answer: "It is impossible for universities in Anhui to be built in Huizhou. It is too far away there. How do you let students in northern Anhui go to study?"

    Wang Mingran said: "It can also be built in Anqing. Huizhou merchants are willing to jointly fund the construction of the university with the gentry in Anqing, Tongcheng and other places, and then donate it to the imperial court for free. They will never interfere in school affairs."

    "Okay, you guys can initiate a fundraiser." Zhao Han agreed without hesitation.

    Um?

    So easy?

    Wang Mingran, who had prepared a full stomach for speeches, suddenly didn't know what to say, and immediately knelt down and said, "Caomin, kneel and thank you for your kindness!"

    Although Anqing is not located in the center of Anhui, its location is relatively moderate, and the transportation is very convenient.  It was only because of the strife that Zhao Han was not sure. Since the gentry and merchants were willing to donate, they would sell face to Wang Mingran.

    Zhao Hanhu said again: "But there is one condition."

    "Your Majesty, please order." Wang Mingran responded quickly.

    "Your Wang family, as well as the eight major surnames in Huizhou, and the big clan in Tongcheng, shouldn't it be time for you to separate and move?" Zhao Han seemed to be reminding, but it was more like a threat.

    "This" Wang Mingran could not give an answer on behalf of so many families.

    Zhao Han asked Wang Mingran to sit down again: "I don't want to force others to do things, so I just call on the big families to relocate by themselves. But after a while, only a few big families in the southern provinces separated their children to move to the north. The epidemic in Henan and Shandong last year  After the winter, things have calmed down a lot, and it’s not as scary as you think. Although the imperial court is organizing immigrants, they are all ordinary people. How can it be done without merchants? You merchants can also start a family business if you migrate there.”

    Wang Mingran bit the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, the Wang family of Huizhou, is willing to separate and relocate. But the Caomin cannot replace other big clans to make decisions. Please give the Caomin a month, and the Caomin will definitely convey His Majesty's will."

    "Go," Zhao Han said, waving his hand, "Before you convey the news, you can go to Yangzhou."

    "Follow the order!"

    Wang Mingran bowed and stepped back.

    Wang Mingran didn't know why he was going to Yangzhou, but he understood when he came to the place.

    After only staying in Yangzhou for a few days, Wang Mingran heard commotion on the street, he called his servants and asked, "What happened outside?"

    The servant was both panicked and excited, and said: "Master, there are many officials in military uniforms outside, and they have surrounded the houses of those Western merchants!"

    Military uniforms are the canvas uniforms of the Datong Army.

    At first, only the medical soldiers and dragoons were equipped, and then the navy soldiers also changed their outfits, and finally all DatongSo many whereabouts are unknown, what are they really used for!  "

    Secret guards in black don't have their own cells.

    For this large-scale arrest, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice had to be borrowed.

    Salt merchant Zhang Wanxue was tied to a torture rack, and torture has not been used yet.

    Xu Ying came to the trial in person, with a gentle appearance and a pleasant face, she smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, confess honestly, and the matter will be over sooner."

    Zhang Wanxue cried, "My lord, the grassroots are wronged!"

    Xu Ying was still smiling all over her face: "Do you know Yang Yiqin? A guy from a Nanjing firm."

    Zhang Wanxue's face turned pale with fright, he knew he was finished.

    Xu Ying added: "Confess honestly, and you won't embarrass your family. Of course, the premise is that they don't know."

    "Really?" Zhang Wanxue felt hopeful again.

    Xu Ying said: "I don't need to coax you. Your Majesty has set the rules. Those who have internal and external enemies, as long as they are not guilty of serious crimes, although they confiscate their property, they are not as guilty as their family members. Children and grandchildren within five generations are not allowed to engage in franchised businesses, nor to be officials.  .”

    It's over!

    The descendants of the Five Generations cannot be officials, cannot engage in franchised businesses, and have to confiscate all their property. Even if they don’t die or go to jail, they will be reduced to the bottom of society.

    After five generations of descendants, the class has solidified, how can it be possible to stand up?

    Xu Ying said with a smile: "There is another option. As long as you cooperate well, you can immigrate your family to Taiwan after confiscating your property. Although you still can't be an official or run a franchise business, at least you can divide the fields and cultivate them.  Starve to death without a living."

    Zhang Wanxue said in a crying voice: "How can they farm the land?"

    "Urban civilians, immigrating to the north can learn how to farm. Your family immigrated to Taiwan, so you can't learn how to farm? Are they born more refined and noble?" Xu Ying said disdainfully, "Quickly confess. If you confess, die quickly, no  It's hard to confess, don't force me to use torture, I really can't see that kind of scene. Also, don't hide it, this time you are not the only one arrested. If your confession is not correct, weigh the consequences yourself!"

    "Injustice"

    Zhang Wanxue still wanted to appeal for grievances, but he saw a black-clothed officer slowly approaching with a bamboo stick.

    Another officer in black was holding a small bottle in his hand. He didn't know what was in the bottle, but it was definitely not something good.

    "I recruit!" Zhang Wanxue quickly changed his words.

    But Xu Ying said: "You shouted too slowly, you need to take an injection first to refresh yourself."

    "ah!"

    The bamboo stick pierced hard between the nails, causing Zhang Wanxue to twitch in pain.  This guy was so frightened that he lost control, his crotch was full of urine, and he cried, "I'll do it, I'll do it woo woo woo woo! ?

 Text 478【Whoever has milk is a mother】

    "Your Majesty, please have a look." Xu Ying presented the results of the interrogation.

    Zhao Han didn't read it because there were too many contents, so he said: "You pick the most important ones and talk about them."

    Xu Ying summarized: "Five salt merchants were arrested, three sent news to the Tatars, one sent news to Li Zicheng, and one sent news to the Tartars and Li Zicheng. Among the participating merchants in Nanjing and Yangzhou, except for one that sold Korean ginseng  , and all the rest are selling Liao ginseng, and all of them are secretly sending news to the Tartars."

    "There are a lot of careful work." Zhao Han was not angry, but rather amused.

    Xu Ying continued: "Some merchants can't even be called careful operations. They just inquire about all kinds of news, and when they go to other places to sell goods, they pass it along. Sometimes, when the business route is blocked, they only pass it on once a year or two.  .”

    This kind of part-time spy is not a professional.

    Zhao Han asked: "Have you grasped the real fine work?"

    "There is no real detailed work." Xu Ying replied.

    "No?" This answer surprised Zhao Han.

    Xu Ying explained: "The puppet Qing Dynasty did not have Jinyiwei, nor did they have East Factory or West Factory.  Only in North Zhili, not even in Shandong."

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully and found it very reasonable.

    ?Manchu Qing, which has not even occupied Liaodong, even if they personally end the spy war, they will only stare at Beizhili, and the rest of the provinces can let merchants pass the news.

    The Ming Dynasty perished too quickly, the Manchus entered the customs too quickly, Huang Taiji died of illness suddenly, Dorgon was busy with internal fighting, and then migrated on a large scale, how could he have the time and energy to expand the intelligence system?

    At that time, Shandong and Henan were plagued by plague again, and the road to the south was blocked by the Datong army.  Even if there is a fish that slipped through the net, the people in the villages and towns will be prevented and controlled by groups, all foreigners will be registered and quarantined, merchants will not be allowed to go south, and people who seek relatives will be resettled and settled on the spot If the Tartars want to send spies, their plans will definitely be completely disrupted.

    ?It is even possible that some spies feel that they are living a good life after being assigned households and fields, so they become farmers with peace of mind.

    With the army in chaos and the plague raging, it is impossible for the Tatars to find trouble with spies, and they can only regard them as missing persons.

    The next thing was that the Manchus retreated to Liaodong, and Dorgon tried to restore the intelligence system, but all he could do was contact merchants.

    Xu Ying said: "The person in charge of the contact went to Zhangjiakou from Mongolia, and then the Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou took action. The merchants arrested this time were bewitched by the Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou. Because of the passage from Liaodong to Shandong, our Datong Army  Cut off, even merchants from the south have to go to Zhangjiakou to buy Liao ginseng. Yang Yiqin, Cao Fengji’s man, was caught and threatened by his son, and it was the salt merchant Zhang Wanxue who did it.”

    Zhao Han asked: "Why did Zhang Wanxue sacrifice his life for the Tartars?"

    Xu Ying replied: "One is to take revenge on the Datong court, and the other is that his family is doing fur business with the Tartars."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Didn't Tartar put any manpower in his business?"

    The spies sent by Xu Ying are mainly placed in various companies.  Or, directly recruit the associates of the firm and become non-staff personnel to collect intelligence.

    Xu Ying said: "The Tatars must have placed spies in the chamber of commerce, but there is no need to place them in the south. I guess that when the Tartars retreated to Liaodong, they left some spies in Beizhili for future raids or sieges.  As for the south, Cao Fengji is already the biggest writer, and the rest of the details are merchants who deliver the news. I tortured those merchants, and they have no connections in the south. They have to go to the north to do business in order to spread the news."

    Zhao Han understood it.

    That's the way ancient intelligence agencies are, and Daming's Jinyiwei is a different kind.

    Moreover, it was limited to the Jinyiwei in the middle and early Ming Dynasty, and they could even go to the grasslands and North Korea as spies.  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was no longer possible. The Tartars ravaged Beizhili and plundered all the way to Shandong. The two sides fought for two months, and Chongzhen didn't know how many Qing troops had come.

    Zhao Han knows very well how much it costs to maintain an intelligence system.

    Last year's intelligence expenditure has exceeded the royal family's expenditure, and a total of more than 700,000 taels was spent.  In addition to paying salaries to intelligence personnel, they also established a large number of contact points in the north, and even extended their tentacles to Li Zicheng's territory.

    Zhao Han knew exactly what Li Zicheng was doing, and he could instigate some wavering generals at any time.

    There are also Xu Ying's people in the Liaoxi Corridor, otherwise it would not be so easy to surprise and occupy Weiyuantai last year.

    "Where's Cao Fengji?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xu Ying replied: "Run away. I heard that a merchant in Yangzhou was arrested, so he ran away that day, only taking some silver with him. The business name, goods, and silver stored in the ticket number were not taken away."

    &nbsHe knew many important officials of the Datong court.  "

    "Not bad, not bad." Fan Yongdou nodded.

    Cao Fengji also said: "Nanjing promised that as long as the world is unified, we will be issued a salt franchise license. Many businesses of the Nanjing court, such as tea, salt, and ironware, require franchise licenses to operate. This can be passed on to future generations.  family business!"

    Fan Yongdou bowed his hands toward the south: "Your Majesty is really generous. Regardless of what our family has done before, the Fan family will be loyal for generations to come. This matter cannot be neglected, and we must actively make contributions. Although the drought on the grassland has eased this year, we can't find it."  If we buy food locally, more people will starve to death in winter. Many Mongolian tribes are discouraged by the Tartars, we can take this opportunity to provoke, and even persuade several Mongolian tribes to join the court!"

    Cao Fengji said happily: "With such credit, the Fan family will be reused by the imperial court, and all descendants and grandchildren will benefit from it!"

 Text 479 [Datong Lingling Lacquer]

    Outside Zhangjiakou, Chahar Department.

    Eight-year-old Abu Nai has just married his widowed sister-in-law Makata.  According to the ethical relationship, he and his former widow, who is now his wife, belong to a less serious sibling relationship.

    Because Abu Nai is the posthumous son of Lin Dan Khan, his biological mother was captured by Huang Taiji, and his mother became Huang Taiji's Duoluo Dafujin (the empress dowager).  Since then, Huang Taiji has become Abney's stepfather, and his widowed wife is Huang Taiji's biological daughter.

    Straightening it out a bit, Abney married his stepfather's daughter and his brother's widow.

    His stepfather, Huang Taiji, led troops to conquer his biological father.  And he fought three times, from Zhangjiakou to Qinghai, his biological father Lin Danhan died of illness on the way to escape.

    Not only that, but his biological father, Lin Danhan, had a total of eight Fujins.  Huang Taiji himself married two, and gave one to his elder brother, one to his cousin, and one to his son.

    The one given to the cousin was the biological mother of Brother Abney.

    That is to say, Huang Taiji married Abu Nai's biological mother, asked his cousin to marry Abu Nai's elder brother's biological mother, Huang Taiji married his daughter to Ab Nai's elder brother, and now this daughter remarried to Ab Nai.

    In addition, Abu Nai's half-brother was said to have been cuckolded by Shunzhi. In simple terms, it was the adultery of his uncle and sister-in-law. Shunzhi robbed his brother's wife, that is, the concubine Dong E, and killed him.  Of course, it is just a legend and cannot be verified.

    Then, after going around in a circle, Abu Nai, the leader of the Chahar tribe, and the Shunzhi Emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are half-brothers!

    "Sister, I want to eat vegetables." Abney looked at the dairy products, but couldn't whet his appetite.

    As Abu Nai’s former widowed wife and now wife, Makata, the eldest princess of Gulun Wenzhuang, sighed: “If I want to eat vegetables, I send people to Zhangjiakou to buy them, and I can eat them in a few days. There is not enough food this year, mutton, etc.  Eat it in winter, you can eat these first and make a living."

    "oh."

    Abney swallowed all kinds of dairy products with difficulty while drinking tea.

    There are goat's milk and horse's milk.  It's okay to eat once or twice, but it's disgusting to eat every day, Abnay really can't stand this kind of diet.

    He is only eight years old this year. He had been living in Shenyang before, and was later taken to Beijing. He grew up with his biological mother and ate like Huang Taiji's other sons.  His elder brother, E Zhe, the lord of Chahar, died of illness a few years ago, and now that the Chahar tribe is unstable, he was rushed to marry his widowed wife.

    Huang Taiji's stepson and daughter married and ruled the Chahar tribe together. In Dorgon's mind, nothing would happen.

    Of course, something happened in history. Abnai did not go to see the emperor for a long time, and was arrested by Kangxi sent to cut the noble and put him under house arrest.  When the two sons of Abunai and Makata grew up, the two brothers rebelled directly, trying to rescue their father.

    Seeing his younger brother, husband and brother-in-law finish the food, Makata couldn't help but sigh.

    As the eldest princess of the Qing Dynasty, she married to the grassland at the age of twelve, and she is only nineteen now.  The original husband treated her very badly. After all, although he and her husband had sibling status, her father had indirectly killed her husband's father and robbed him of his position and territory.

    The husband passed away two years ago. They have been married for many years, but they have not given birth to a son and a half. The husband is not even willing to touch her.

    Now this husband is only an eight-year-old child. Although the relationship is very good, he is not so much a husband and wife as a sibling, a mother and a child.

    ?Because it is close to Zhangjiakou, the material conditions of Makata were not bad when the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in power.  They can eat white rice and flour products every meal, as well as vegetables and fruits. This is the treatment of the great nobles in the grasslands.

    But now, the situation in the Qing Dynasty is declining, and Li Zicheng controls the grain trade.

    Most of the grain sold from Zhangjiakou was bought by the Qing Dynasty, and the Chahar Department could only buy the rest.  The leaders and elders in the tribe gradually became disobedient, and even grabbed the grain with the eldest princess Makata, and bought the grain first.

    Makata has not eaten fruits and vegetables for three months, and her vitamin supplements depend on tea.

    "There are Han Chinese merchants coming!"

    Just as Makata was looking at the sky in a daze, cheers suddenly came from afar.

    Makata got on his horse immediately, and the maid ran all the way up to the small slope in front of him, and sure enough, he saw a caravan coming.

    At some point, eight-year-old Abu Nai also stood beside her and asked, "Sister, will these Han merchants bring fruits and vegetables?"

    "I only know after asking." Makata replied.

    As the caravan moved from far to near, Makata automatically ignored the rest of the humans and set his sights on Zuo Xiaocheng.

    What a handsome man, wearing a handsome crown, with ?? Opera?  "

    "Of course I saw it." Zuo Xiaocheng felt something was wrong.

    He didn't intend to seduce Princess Manqing, but Princess Manqing seemed to be seducing him.

    This Manchu princess is considered a great beauty on the grasslands, but in the south of the Yangtze River, she can only be considered pretty.

    Do you want to sacrifice your life for the country?

    For His Majesty, Zuo Xiaocheng decided to go all out!

    Cao Fengji has already gone to Liaodong to return to his command, but he doesn't know what's going on, so Zuo Xiaocheng stayed in Zhangjiakou and came to the grassland to see what's going on.

    Unexpectedly, the first time I went out, I met the Princess Manqing and the hostess of the Chahar Department.

    Immediately, he stopped talking about business, Zuo Xiaocheng asked: "Have you ever learned how to play the piano?"

    Makata said happily: "I can play the dragon head qin."

    Longtouqin is Matouqin, which is also called Huqin by the Han people, or a spoon-shaped Huqin.

    Before the Republic of China, matouqin rarely had horse heads, but were divided into human heads, skeletons, crocodile heads, turtle shells, dragon heads and so on.  There is also a kind of Matel head, which looks like a dragon and has a face like a monkey, which belongs to the demon-suppressing thing.

    Zuo Xiaocheng said: "I can only support the qin of the Han family, and I am going to ask how to play the huqin."

    Makata asked the maid to bring the faucet, and the two seriously discussed the art of music.

    ? When Zuo Xiaocheng practiced, Makata taught with his hands, and the lonely men and widows almost hugged each other.

    Thinking about the identity of this woman, Zuo Xiaocheng felt particularly exciting, and suddenly enjoyed this mission, which was much more interesting than staying in the south!  (

 Body 480【Difficulties of soldiers in Guangxi】

    ?Instigating rebellion against the Mongolian tribes did not happen overnight.

    Back then, two generations of Nurhachi and Dorgon continued to intimidate and lure them, and only then did they nibble away and win over the various ministries on the grassland.

    As soon as Nurhachi started to attack the Liaoxi Plain, Lin Danhan immediately led troops to conquer, and beat the Manchus into the princess and marriage.  Then quietly separated the ministries, kept giving benefits, and flirted with the Mongolian tribe in private.

    When Lin Dan Khan heard the news, he severely punished the tribes that colluded with the Qing Dynasty.

    But the more severely Lin Dan Khan punished, the more tribes fell to the Manchus.  In the end, the peripheral tribes ruled by Lin Dan Khan fell into the arms of the Qing Dynasty one by one.

    Therefore, Lin Danhan, who owned "400,000" iron cavalry, was chased and killed from outside Zhangjiakou all the way to Qinghai by the Qing Dynasty with only "30,000" troops.

    After careful study of this period of history, the most impressive thing is that the Tartars of the Houjin Dynasty could really have daughters!

    This tribe married one, and that tribe married one, and the Mongolian tribe was tied to death through marriage.  Sometimes, even if they are married, they still have to fight, killing their daughter's husband, and marrying another tribe.  Or kill the husband of the daughter and remarry the daughter to the brother, nephew, or nephew of the deceased husband.

    Eight-year-old Abnay was completely unaware that he was being put on a green hat.

    He felt that the gentleman from Handi was very amiable.  I told him stories about my father Khan and many interesting things about the south, and I gradually felt a father's love that I had never had before.

    In addition, Zuo Xiaocheng began to contact the leaders of the Chahar Department.

    He has basically determined that as long as the Datong army occupies Zhangjiakou, binds the Chahar tribe with food, and promises to help the Chahar tribe deal with the revenge of the Manchus, these Mongols who are next to the Han will definitely rebel!

    The Chahar tribe had a feud with the Manchu Qing, and was squeezed out by other tribes that belonged to the Manchu Qing.

    Because they used to be the tribes directly under the Mongolian Khan, they occupied the rich pastures, and they enjoyed the convenience of mutual trade.  Other tribes must prevent the growth of the Chahar tribe, and the Manchu Qing must also prevent the revival of the Chahar tribe.

    They harbored resentment, hated the Manchus for killing their relatives, hated the Manchus for depriving them of their pastures, and hated the Manchus for interfering in their trade with the Han people.

    Today, there is not much grain shipped from the Han area, and the Manchus still have to buy most of it in advance.

    Every time a herdsman in the Chahar tribe starved to death, their hatred for the Manqing intensified.

    Zuo Xiaocheng's current task is to straighten out the relationship between the Chahar Ministry and figure out which ones are loyal to the Manchu Qing.  When the Datong army occupies Zhangjiakou, it will be a matter of course, and the entire Chahar tribe will be instigated to rebel!

    ? Zuo Xiaocheng fought fiercely with Princess Manqing on the grassland, and the Guangxi Datong Army also launched an offensive again

    After several years of encroachment and continuous suppression of the rebellion, the Datong Army has occupied two-thirds of Guangxi and owns 80% of the land suitable for farming in Guangxi.  The rest that have not been recovered are mountainous and difficult to walk, and the land is relatively barren.

    The worst drought this year is in Hunan, followed by Henan and North Zhili.

    ? Shanxi, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, these provinces have only partial severe droughts.

    The "Chongzhen Drought" seems to have completely eased, and even the provinces with the most severe drought were nothing in the past few years.

    A bumper harvest in Sichuan and a bumper harvest in Hubei!

    Compared with previous years, Guangxi can also be called a bumper harvest this year.

    The people of Guangxi under Zhao Han's rule, regardless of their nationality, were allotted land.  Some Yao and Zhuang people in the deep mountains, after asking Zhao Han for instructions, allowed them to continue farming collectively.  However, first, land ownership must be clarified, and second, advanced agricultural technology must be taught to them.

    After this year's corn harvest, the Han, Zhuang, Yao, and Miao people in Guangxi were all overjoyed.

    There are no exorbitant taxes, the land tax is relatively light, and the rest of the grain is their own.  They can guarantee to eat two meals a day, and they will not be hungry until next year.

    After the bumper harvest of summer grain, the enthusiasm of the people in Guangxi has become unprecedentedly high.

    ? I heard that the Datong Army recruited civilian husbands, and people of all ethnic groups enthusiastically signed up, and farmers and soldiers of all ethnic groups also applied to join the war.

    Nanning Fucheng.

    Ding Jiasheng's newly formed 13th Division is taking oaths. The composition of this unit is extremely complicated. Han soldiers only account for 55%, and the remaining 30% are Zhuang soldiers, and the rest are Yao and Miao soldiers.

    In addition, there are farmers, soldiers and peasants from various ethnic groups, who are listening to Ding Jiasheng's speech there.

    ? Although they were too far away to hear clearly, everyone was in high spirits, because the goal of this battle was to wipe out the remnants of Guangxi.

    Ding Jiasheng led the thirteenth division from Nanning.Come on, walk in front of Ding Jiasheng: "General, I learned that our army went out on a large scale, and the enemy army in Xinning Prefecture abandoned the city and fled, all of them got into the mountains to the west."

    The news of the enemy's abandonment of the city did not make Ding Jiasheng happy, but gave him a headache.

    The city is so easy to attack, the most annoying thing is to drill the valley, there are mountains everywhere in Guangxi, and it will take a long time to conquer the mountains.

    In a few years, the Datong Army only won two-thirds of Guangxi, because the enemy frequently entered the mountains to fight guerrillas!

    Ding Jiasheng immediately ordered: "The army moved to the city of Xinning Prefecture, divided into three thousand troops, three thousand peasant soldiers, and five thousand civilian husbands, and took Qianlongzhai in the east of Xinning Prefecture."

    Qianlongzhai is also in the valley.

    Guangxi is fighting lively, but there are basically no major battles, and the mountains are encircled and suppressed all year round.

    The civilian officials of the Ministry of War didn't know to look at the terrain by themselves.  All day long, I only know how to urge and urge, and say that I will win the whole territory of Guangxi this year.  Damn it, the rest of the land is all mountain roads, it would be hell if we can get it done this year.

 Text 481 [The Wonderful Warrior]

    After going around and around, the four divisions in Sichuan and Guangxi have returned to the Tengjia soldiers.

    Each division trains 3,000 rattan armored soldiers, equipped with the weapons of Shi Jiebai soldiers.  Of course, just learning from the style of the white gun, the specific material is definitely better than the white gun.

    Qin Liangyu's Shijie Chieftain was very poor. If he wanted to equip soldiers on a large scale, he could only use the cheapest weapon materials.

    Today, in the mountain camps of the Datong Army in Sichuan and Guangxi, the cost of one long gun is roughly equivalent to six white guns.  Both wood and iron materials are of higher quality, but the iron hook design at the head and tail of the white gun is retained.

    Send dozens of vigorous soldiers to climb, the spears are hooked up, and the ropes are not needed, so they can climb up with the spears all the way.

    In addition, rattan armor is impenetrable by water and fire, and can float when crossing a river.

    ? Such a combination of weapons and armor makes it possible to travel over mountains and rivers like walking on flat ground, which is very suitable for fighting in the southwest region.

    Guangxi not only has many mountains, but also many caves.

    Especially those karst caves, warm in winter and cool in summer, with abundant water sources, are very easy to hide soldiers.  As long as you prepare food in advance, you can hide in the mountains for a year, let alone go to the mountains to conquer, and you can't even find it.

    In the mountains to the west of Xinningzhou City, Cen Cha led his troops to hide in the cave.

    The mood of the soldiers was not very high, and all of them were frowning.  They don't want to work for Dongzhu anymore, because they have already heard that the Datong army will not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and will also distribute land to ordinary people.

    Regardless of the Zhuang and Yao people, they can share the land!

    A spies from the soldiers ran into the cave, walked up to Cen Cha, and said in a low voice, "There is news from the foot of the mountain that the Han army captured Qianlongzhai a few days ago. There are also a large number of Han troops in Xinningzhou City, but they haven't reported yet."  Send troops to the mountains here."

    Cen Cha heaved a sigh of relief, waved his hand and said: "Go and investigate again. Once the Han army enters the mountain, come back and report immediately. Let's find a good place to set up an ambush."

    "Yes!" The spies of the soldiers left immediately.

    Cen Cha glanced at the soldiers under his command and felt that he should say something.  He walked to the middle of the cave and started to feel the darkness when he opened his mouth: "Everyone knows what the government of the Han people and the army of the Han people are like. As long as we children are disobedient, we will be slaughtered at every turn. Even if we children are obedient, we will suffer all kinds of hardships."  Han officials exploited. This Guangxi is the Guangxi of our children, and the Han people are not allowed to mess around. Although the firearms of the Han people are powerful, they are like lost lambs in the mountains, and they will definitely not win."

    This set of rhetoric has been said countless times, but it has not aroused any positive reaction.

    Cen Cha continued: "Don't think about surrendering. Even if you surrender, the Han people will kill us all and take away our wives and children as slaves"

    "Master" A soldier couldn't help but interrupt, "I heard that the Han army gave the soldiers all the land. If we can win the Han army, can we also share the land?  Can we keep some more of the food we have produced?"

    Cen Cha was furious: "That's a lie, it's a lie made by the Han army! Don't you know how virtuous the Han people are? Even if the land is divided this year, it will be taken back in a few years. Even if the tax is not heavy this year  , It will change back to the old way in a few years. Some of you have fields to cultivate in your homes, why are you still thinking about dividing the fields?"

    The soldiers didn't dare to speak anymore, but they were all slanderous, thinking that the master was not as good as a Han official.

    At the same time, they did not trust the Han officials, because the Ming officials left too many bad impressions on them.

    Han officials will deliberately exploit and oppress them, provoke their relationship with the Yao people, and then let the soldiers and the Yao people fight, and the Han officials will be happy if they lose both.  When there was no war, the Zhuang and Yao people were forced to serve. The forced conscription alone forced Zhuang Yao to rebel several times.

    After Zhuang Yao rebelled, the Han officials would recruit other soldiers to suppress these rebellious people.

    Anyway, it is to let the ethnic minorities fight each other. After the suppression, the villages are often slaughtered, some land is allocated to the meritorious soldiers, and most of the land is privately swallowed by the Han officials.

    Of course, there are also Zhuang officials who are playing tricks, because the leaders of the soldiers can also gain benefits through conquests - they are equivalent to Ming's mercenaries.

    These low-level soldiers and soldiers hide in caves and live their lives.  They miss their families, and they don't know why they are fighting, and they have already collectively fallen into a diffuse state.

    "Boom!"

    After nightfall, there was lightning and thunder outside the cave, and the soldiers all put on blankets.

    Cen Cha was also very anxious. He used to be just a gangster, and he took advantage of the chaos in Daming to make trouble.  As the Datong army pressed forward step by step, many forces like him gradually huddled together to keep warm and defend against the enemy together.

    Among them, there are also the Han landlord forces, who are unwilling to lose their land and power.

    Over the past few years, the local coalition forces in Guangxi have repeatedlyEnter the cave, stab the enemy when you see it, and pick and turn over several in a row.

    He is also a standard military marksmanship, not good-looking, but practical, and he only knows the most basic moves.  However, Chi Huchen's marksmanship is far more powerful than Wu Yong's, and his strength is even more incomparable.

    More and more soldiers rushed over, and Chi Huchen was not afraid, wearing rattan armor and continuing to charge, and finally entered the pile of soldiers alone.

    "The Lord is gone, the Lord is gone!"

    In the cave, there was a desperate cry from the soldiers.

    The soldiers who were fighting bravely finally began to lose their morale, and they knelt down and begged for surrender.

    Chi Huchen, who yelled "surrender" all the way and didn't kill him, killed several surrendered soldiers in succession.  He didn't continue to charge until he was sure that the enemy had really surrendered. As the chief general, he wanted to chase the fleeing enemy general alone.

    Then, this thing got lost.

    Because the cave is like a maze, there are no torches in the twists and turns, so I don't know where to go around.  Even with torches, there is a high chance of getting lost.

    It was not until five days later that Chi Huchen was found. The general was already starving to death.

    Looking at the dying Chi Huchen, Qin Gongming didn't know what to say, so he turned around and urged: "Hurry up and get some food! ?

    Historically, when the Qing army went south, Guangxi also launched a vigorous anti-Qing movement.

    As far as the Han gentry are concerned, they are mainly concentrated in northern Guangxi.

    Tianqi promoted Li Yingpin for four years. First, he spent all his wealth and recruited soldiers, and went to Hunan to fight against Li Zicheng's remnants.  In the face of the Qing army's attack, the central and northern parts of Guangxi were completely lost, but Li Yingpin was still able to stand firm in the northeastern part of Guangxi.

    ? The reason why Li Dingguo was able to recover Guilin and forced Kong Youde to be defeated and self-immolated, Li Yingpin has made great contributions.  First, Li Yingpin restrained the main force of the Qing army, leaving Guilin empty of troops; second, Li Yingpin notified Li Dingguo, suggesting that Li Dingguo seize the opportunity to attack Guilin.

    It's a pity that when the Qing army counterattacked, Li Dingguo was forced to withdraw, and Li Yingpin fought alone again.

    ?The base area laid down by Li Yinpin was surrounded by the Qing army from three directions, and wherever he passed, he "killed everyone, regardless of age."

    Li Yingpin was defeated and fled without a trace.  The three sons obeyed their father's order and remained in the Qing Dynasty for life.

    In this time and space, when the Datong army invaded the northeast of Guangxi, Li Yingpin also recruited troops to resist.  But there was no battle after the recruitment. Li Yinpin was said to surrender by his former classmates, and he also helped the Datong Army to recruit and surrender the entire Lingchuan County Township Army to train troops.

    Today, Li Yinpin has been transferred to Sichuan and is serving as the magistrate of Longchang County.

    ?The scholar Chen Jingyou, whose whole family fought against the Qing Dynasty and died for the country, was also persuaded by Li Yingpin to lead his troops to surrender to the Datong Army. He is currently serving as the county magistrate in Liucheng, Guangxi.

    The two brothers Zhu Shengnong and Zhu Shengtian of the Ming dynasty fought against the Qing Dynasty for ten years, cooperated with Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo in the battle, and won the loyalty of a large number of Zhuang and Yao forces.  And in this time and space, they were respected as co-lords by the Guangxi resistance forces, and they formed a coalition army to block the advance of the Datong army.

    ?After losing two consecutive battles, Liao Mingyue, the leader of the Yao tribe, joined the Datong Army with his entire clan. Brothers Zhu Shengnong and Zhu Shengtian were disheartened.

    Just last autumn, the two secretly contacted Liu Xinyu, and Liu Xinyu reported it to the Ministry of War, and received Zhao Han's personal approval: Since the Zhu brothers did not do many evils, and they were only the nominal leaders of the Guangxi coalition forces, their surrender can be counted as meritorious service.  After the surrender, if you want to be a civil servant, you must first go to Nanjing to study for three months, at least you can start as a county magistrate.

    The Zhu brothers immediately surrendered, and when they arrived in Nanjing at the end of this spring, the Guangxi coalition forces became a mess.  That's why the Ministry of War ordered to win the whole of Guangxi within this year!

    Zhu Minru, a martial artist, surrendered the winter of the previous year.

    After this person was admitted to the martial arts examination, the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty awarded him the post of General Manager.  But he didn't catch the real shortage, and it is estimated that the money was not enough, so let him go back to his hometown and wait slowly.

    ? Historically, Zhu Minru spent all his wealth to recruit troops and had the strongest cavalry unit among the Guangxi volunteers.  He has repeatedly made military exploits, and he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of Guangxi, and he was given the seal of General Zhenxi.  When the Qing army broke through the city, Zhu Minru killed his wife and children, burned the seal, took off his armor, put on a virtuous crown and a big crimson robe, and committed suicide by slaying himself in the direction of the Nanjing court.

    This year, with the expansion of the Guangxi Datong Army, Zhu Minru has been promoted to the head of the cavalry regiment. When he surrendered, he not only disbanded more than 3,000 troops, but also donated more than 800 southwest war horses.

    Zhao Han attached great importance to this. Although he took away 80% of the Zhu family's property, he gave him an iron mining license and allowed his family to operate a salt shop in Lingui County.

    Anding Town.

    This town is located on the north bank of the Nijiang River (Hongshui River), which is twenty miles south of the later Du'an Yao Autonomous County.

    The leader of the Yao nationality occupies a radius of hundreds of miles, and takes Anding Town as the core of rule, and builds a wooden city wall outside the town.

    Zhu Minru, as the vanguard of the Guangxi North Route Army, led the cavalry along the river.  He didn't set up camp at all, and ran out of the town single-handedly, shouting loudly: "Surrender quickly, or this place will be flattened!"

    The missionary officer Shi Kehuai also rode up to follow, and led a group of missionary officers, shouting in Chinese and local Yao dialect: "All the people in the town listen, Your Majesty the Emperor of Datong, please marry the Yao Pan Niangniang as your concubine. Han, Yao  They are both brothers and in-laws. In Anding Town, there are Han people and Yao people. As long as you put down your weapons and surrender, you will celebrate the festival before and forget the past. Go to the Yao elder Liao Ande and tell him that Liao Mingyue, the elder of the Yao nationality, has surrendered.  Can the little leader of the Yao tribe still withstand the advance of the Datong army?"

    Not long after, Yao Lao Liao Ande appeared in person: "If I surrender, I don't want to be a chieftain, but my land is not allowed to be taken away, and it is not enough to take away my soldiers and slaves!"

    Not only do the Yao people have a variety of languages, but so do their systems.

    Ba Pai Yao, who was born in Pan Qimei, implements a democratic election system.  The Yao people here belong to the dictatorship, and there is still slavery.

    Zhu Minru was furious immediately: "You don't know what's good and what's wrong. You occupied Anding Town presumptuously, and even captured the Han people as slaves. It's a great kindness for you to surrender, but you still want to keep the soldiers and slaves."??!

    Zhu Minru belongs to the vanguard, also known as the pioneer.  After he occupied Anding Town, he sent people to escort the captured enemy generals back, leaving only a few people to garrison, and led the troops across the river to the south.

    Going south along the valley, there is also Baishan Town (later Mashan County).

    ?He also did not fight any tough battles, so he took Baishan Town, and then occupied Qiaoli, Nama and other Yao Zhuang villages, and led two thousand cavalry to the outside of Si'en Mansion.

    The enemy general of the Si En Mansion is a military officer of the Han nationality.

    Seeing that Zhu Minru had few soldiers, he didn't choose to abandon the city and flee, nor did he choose to stick to the city, and ordered nearly ten thousand soldiers to go out of the city to fight.

    This guy learns from the Ming Dynasty and will implement the family system, and only a thousand family members can fight, and the rest are just village braves.

    "It seems to be able to fight?" Shi Kehuai, the missionary officer, asked.

    Zhu Minru smiled and said: "Where can't we fight? We're not afraid of them fighting, but we're afraid of them abandoning the city and going into the mountains. The bandits in the Si'en Mansion have never suffered from our losses, so they don't know that they will rush into the mountains when they meet the Datong Army. We must take this opportunity  , How much can be destroyed. When they come to their senses, it will be troublesome to hide in the mountains."

    Nearly 10,000 enemy troops advanced in formation, and the dragoons fired with tiger squat guns.

    After two rounds of shelling, the opponent's phalanx was in chaos, and only the family members were able to hold on.

    Two thousand dragoons stepped forward, and after approaching twenty steps, in an extremely loose formation, they dismounted and fired a volley of firecrackers against the enemy's hip-pull bows and arrows.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    "Get on the horse and charge!"

    After a meal of firecrackers and three consecutive strikes, the whole army mounts and charges.

    Zhu Minru brandished a saber and rushed to the front alone.  The two armies have not yet contacted, and the enemy Xiangyong has already collapsed.

    Zhu Minru disregarded the scattered bravery and went straight to the enemy's main formation, and those family members also started to flee.

    The enemy general, who was not worthy of his life, did not even have a chance to escape, so he was cut off by Zhu Minru with a knife, and two thousand dragoons took advantage of the opportunity to occupy Sienfu City.

    The two Datong armies in the north and south of Guangxi were ordered to march westward together, and they were all invincible, quickly occupying various cities.

    It's a pity that fighting and fighting, the enemy troops in western Guangxi learned to be smart. When they saw the Datong army, they abandoned their cities and villages and chose to hide in the mountains to fight guerrilla resistance.  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/681920053.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/681920053.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

    Chi Huchen, who lost his way in the karst cave, and Zhu Minru, who was singled out in front of the battle, made the first achievements of the two Guangxi armies in the north and south, but they were both severely criticized by their respective superiors.

    ?Chi Huchen was demoted to one level, and served as Qin Gongming's deputy, who was promoted to the chief general of the Tengjia Bing.

    Zhu Minru just notified the whole army to criticize, and the division commander Liu Xinyu reiterated that he must not imitate the one-on-one battle in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

    During the ten-month period, the North Route Army occupied the entire territory of Si'en Mansion, and the South Route Army occupied the entire territory of Nanning Mansion.

    The next step is very difficult. Facing the enemy army in western Guangxi who fled into the mountains, although the policy of dividing households into fields can gradually reduce the living space of the enemy, and even force the enemy who has no food to surrender voluntarily.  However, it will take time and it will be impossible to recover the entire territory of Guangxi this year.

    The remaining enemy troops in western Guangxi sent envoys to Yunnan to ask for help from the Puppet Ming regime.

    Kunming.

    Zhu Qifeng, Emperor Zhenwu of the Ming Dynasty, was drinking and having fun, enjoying a wonderful song and dance performance.

    Ministers of civil and military affairs came to ask for instructions, but Zhu Qifeng said: "Leave civil affairs to Wang Qing, and military affairs to Mu Qing. You can handle it yourself, and you don't need to report everything to me."

    Several Yunnan important ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, couldn't help sighing secretly, bowed and retreated after bowing down.

    In present Yunnan, under Emperor Zhenwu, there are three real power figures:

    First, Mu Tianbo, king of Guizhou.

    Second, the chief assistant Wang Shide.

    Third, the eunuch Gao Lin.

    Needless to say, Mu Tianbo was born in Yunnan, and after supporting the emperor, he was named the Prince of Guizhou.

    Wang Shide is not the Jin Yiwei who wrote "Records of Chongzhen", but the former governor of Yunnan.  This guy was originally from Yongkang, Zhejiang, and he was a governor in Yunnan. He suddenly heard that Chongzhen was gone, and another prince had escaped, so he discussed with Mu Tianbo to support the new monarch.

    As for Gao Lin, he was originally the eunuch guarding Yunnan, but now he has become the eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies.

    "My lord, the western Guangxi defenders are asking for help, should they be rescued or not?" Wang Shide asked.

    Mu Tianbo sighed, and asked, "How can I save you?"

    Wang Shide said: "My lord recruits various armies, and may be able to wipe out the rebels in the mountains of western Guangxi."

    Mu Tianbo shook his head and explained: "Wang Ge doesn't understand. The army that the king can command is only ten to twenty thousand. The rest of the chieftain's soldiers can fight in Yunnan. I'm afraid they are not willing to take them to fight in Guangxi."  apply."

    Wang Shide said: "You can know the righteousness. Wherever the Zhao thief rebelled, the chieftains were all divided into land and released as slaves. If Zhao thief kills Yunnan, will the Yunnan chieftain be spared? Helping the western Guangxi chieftain to fight is also the responsibility of the Yunnan chieftain."  Fight the war by yourself. The chieftain of Yunnan will definitely understand such a simple truth."

    Mu Tianbo smiled wryly: "The truth is really simple, and the chieftain of Yunnan must understand it, but the chieftain of Yunnan can't be really obedient if the Zhao bandits don't come to Yunnan for a day. After all, the imperial court lacks military rations, and the chieftain who sends troops brings his own food and grass, who wants to take his own food?"  What about the food for the court to fight?"

    Wang Shide was silent.

    Mu Tianbo suddenly said: "In the current situation, the enemy is inside but not outside, we must get rid of that dead eunuch!"

    Wang Shide said: "If you get rid of this person, you have to lead troops to force the palace."

    Mu Tianbo suppressed the anger in his heart: "Even if forced into the palace, I have to do it, this is a last resort."

    Before Chongzhen hanged himself, the eunuch Gao Lin had already made Kunming a mess.  After supporting the new monarch, he became a eunuch with a pen, and even more cronyism, constantly cultivating party members, and suppressing any ministers who dared to oppose him.

    Mu Tianbo can bear these things.

    However, after Gao Lin took control of the court, he even extended his hand to the army, and placed eunuchs everywhere to supervise the army, gradually controlling the military rations, military salaries, and ordnance.

    Even the several Yunnan racecourses controlled by the Mu family were mostly controlled by Gao Lin.

    The dead eunuch collected beauties everywhere and offered them to Emperor Zhenwu, and also handed over part of the money he had found to the emperor.  Emperor Zhenwu Zhu Qifeng had already obeyed Gao Linyan and allowed the eunuchs to mess around in Yunnan.

    Last fall, Gao Lin even turned against generals and chieftains!

    The chieftain of Mile Prefecture and the thousand households of the Eighteen Villages joined forces to launch a rebellion because they could not be exploited.  Then, the chieftain of Weimo Prefecture followed the rebellion, and the three parties joined forces to capture the entire Guangxi Prefecture.

    Mu Tianbo mobilized tens of thousands of troops, fought fiercely in May, and suppressed the rebellion, finally put down the rebellion.

    Since then, Mu Tianbo couldn't bear it at all, and made up his mind to "clean the emperor's side".

    The chief assistant of the cabinet, Wang Shide, is of course a target of wooing.  Because the cabinet and the six ministers, many of them are colluding with the eunuchs, frantically getting money out of their own pockets.  only engage inHe donated silver and sent his own soldiers to escort Wu Zhaoyuan away.

    Wu Zhaoyuan took his family back to his hometown, but he didn't dare to go to the war zone to return to Fujian, so he went to Sichuan via Guizhou, and soon found that his appearance was very different.

    For the people of Guizhou, it is considered good to have food on the noodles, and many of them are so hungry that they can't walk.  Due to the scuffle between chieftain warlords, the fields along the way are often barren, and it is a scene of the end of the world where the people are in dire straits.

    But in Sichuan, although the life of the people is very difficult, they are all in good spirits.  Not only can't you see the barren fields, but there are also grassroots officials who organize the people to build water conservancy facilities.  It is not the way of conscripts in the Ming Dynasty, but the construction is divided into villages and towns, and the common people are very motivated to bring their own dry food.

    Wu Zhaoyuan asked the boatman when crossing the river: "How long has this place been governed by honest officials?"

    The boatman replied with a smile: "It has been a year, and the court of Datong is doing well, and now there are Qingtian masters everywhere."

    In the eyes of the people in Sichuan, a good official is one who does not mess around, and one who does practical things can be called the master of Qingtian.

    Wu Zhaoyuan asked in surprise, "Only for one year?"

    The boatman said with great anticipation: "Once Mr. Qingtian comes, there will be a bumper harvest this year. If it takes a few more years, how rich will it be? I'm afraid I can eat meat every now and then!"

    Wu Zhaoyuan continued to travel north, and then went east along the Yangtze River.

    ?The farther to the east, the better the situation, because the eastern Sichuan region has been governed by Datong officials for more than two years.

    The old gentleman left in no hurry, dismissed Mu Tianbo's personal soldiers, and took his family to the countryside along the river to visit farmers.

    ? After traveling through several counties, I entered Huguang again by boat.

    When he came to the villages and towns in Hunan, he only stayed for two years, and said to his son dancing and dancing: "The world is in great order, the world is in great order, and I can die with peace of mind!"

    Wu Yingxi said: "Father will live a long life."

    At the beginning of Emperor Chongzhen's succession to the throne, he personally received the four honest officials.

    And Wu Zhaoyuan is the head of the four honest officials!

    When he was a county magistrate, he reformed the system, cleaned up taxes and servitude, treated the people well, and retried unjust cases. When he left office, the people sent each other for dozens of miles and begged him to stay and continue to be an official.

    Not only good at governing the people, but also good at managing the army, and the military pay from him is exactly the same.

    Then, he was sent to prison.

    Although he was revived in the Chongzhen Dynasty, he was always in circles, and was finally thrown to Yunnan as a political envoy.

    Wu Zhaoyuan visited a village primary school in Hunan again and asked about the education of the Xin Dynasty. He went home that night and said to his son: "After returning to Fujian, you should go to the Xin Dynasty to be an official.  , Mathematics should also be studied hard.”

    Wu Yingxi said: "Remember, my child."

    Wu Zhaoyuan laughed suddenly: "I thought it was the end of the dynasty, but unexpectedly the world is about to be ruled. My heart is so happy, my heart is so happy, hahahaha"

    Laughing and laughing, the laughter stopped suddenly.

    Wu Yingxi felt that something was wrong, stretched out his hand to sniff, and suddenly cried out in grief: "Father!"

    This old gentleman died laughing while sitting on a chair.

 Text 484【Dongzhu】

    The time came to August.

    The two armies in Guangxi are still dawdling, and the casualty rate increased greatly when they entered the mountains to suppress bandits.

    The main reason is that it is hard to defend against an arrow from the back, and it is also a poisonous arrow.

    The Qing army was devastated by this thing, and the British army was also beaten to death by the Malay natives. This time and space was changed to the Datong army suffering from poisonous arrows.

    "Your Majesty, a secret letter from the Chief Assistant of the Puppet Dynasty in Yunnan." The three cabinet ministers sent it urgently.

    Zhao Han took it and read it carefully, but he didn't take it seriously, so he threw it aside and ignored it.

    Li Banghua asked: "Your Majesty doesn't want to take Yunnan quickly?"

    Zhao Han explained: "The persistent problems of the four regions of Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guangxi are not in the puppet imperial court, but in the large and small chieftains. If it is not to reform the land and return it to the people, the Southwest will be able to spread it. How can it be necessary to attack with heavy troops for many years? The Guangxi army fought  It’s understandable to be slow.”

    ? During the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, every time the country was reformed and returned to the local people, a battle had to be fought first.

    And I dare not take the initiative to propose that a certain chieftain committed a felony, and after the conquest, he took advantage of the situation and returned to the country.  Otherwise, things will hurt their kind, and the chieftains everywhere will rebel—it can probably be understood as the cutting of the feudal clan, and the feudal king can only cut it if he makes a mistake, and cutting the feudal clan with any crime will cause trouble.

    ? Large-scale land reforms in the southwest were brought back to the Yongzheng period.

    Although Yongzheng didn't use his troops much abroad, he did a good job in internal affairs, including reforming the land and returning to the exiles.

    Even in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, when the imperial court wanted to attack the chieftains, the southwestern chieftains firmly resisted.  Fighting guerrillas and shooting poisonous arrows in the mountains caused heavy losses to the Qing army. Yongzheng was so angry that he ordered to cut down more than a thousand blood-sealed throat trees.

    Today is the time of troubled times, how can the chieftains be caught without a fight?

    Li Banghua said: "Reforming the land and returning it to the people can be done slowly. According to the book of Wang Shide, the chief assistant of the puppet dynasty, the monarchs and ministers of the puppet dynasty in Yunnan were separated, and the chieftains in various places were scattered. It is only necessary to send one division from Sichuan and Guangxi each.  The emperor must surrender. The false emperor wants to surrender, and Mu Tianbo, the former Duke of Guizhou, has no reason to resist. At that time, the morale of the enemy army in Yunnan will definitely drop. I don’t know how many people surrender to our dynasty. It depends on the spread of Yunnan, Guizhou  It can also be passed down. After occupying large and small cities, then in the name of suppressing the rebellion, it is also possible to wipe out the chieftains one by one."

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "It's not the same. Now that the enemy and the enemy are clearly distinguished, the chieftain can be completely wiped out. If it is decided, it is very easy to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, and the chieftain may not clean up very cleanly."

    Li Banghua hesitated to speak, and finally gave up on persuasion.

    Pang Chunlai changed the topic and said: "According to the report from Liaodong, Dorgon is going to start a war again this year, and it is very likely that he will send troops after the rainy season. In addition, the Huerha tribe sent secret envoys, saying that the barbarian Jurchen tribes are willing to join me  towards."

    Savage Jurchen, also known as Donghai Jurchen, was called Woji Zhubu in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    Huerha belongs to a branch of the wild Jurchen, living scattered in the Heilongjiang area.  The tribes around here are collectively called "the sacrificers" in the Qing Dynasty. They lived on fishing and hunting, and they had to pay tribute to the Qing Dynasty with mink fur and other items every year.

    ?Forcing primitive tribes to offer fur goods, burning, killing and looting if they are not obedient, and killing people if they are obedient.

    The way the Manchus dealt with the barbarians and Jurchens was not very similar to how Russia dealt with the Siberian natives, but exactly the same!

    Nowadays, the life of the Qing Dynasty is not easy, and the exploitation of the savage Jurchens has become more and more cruel.

    Those savage Jurchen tribes gradually figured out the situation.  So they traveled long distances and secretly contacted the Datong Army, asking for submission and surrender, and asking the Datong Army to send troops to destroy the Manchus as soon as possible.

    Pang Chunlai held out a small box: "This is the Huerha tribe. They have collected the largest orb this year, and it is also the largest orb in the past ten years. They hid it privately, and instead of paying tribute to the puppet Qing, they sent it secretly.  To His Majesty."

    Zhao Han opened it curiously, but it turned out to be a light golden pearl the size of a pigeon egg.

    Not only is it large in size, but also round and flawless.

    Dongzhu has different colors, the light gold is the best, and the ones with the size of pigeon eggs are rare.

    The savage Jurchen tribe not only collected mink fur for Manqing, but also collected Dongzhu for Manqing free of charge.

    According to legend, the direct reason for Wanyan Agu's rebellion at the beginning was that the emperor of the Liao Kingdom forced the Jurchens to brave the severe cold to dig into the ice and dive to collect Dongzhu, which resulted in the death of many Jurchens.

    Manchu Qing claimed to be the late Jin, but it was the story of the Liao Kingdom.

    Zhao Han played with Dongzhu and said, "Tell the Donghai Jurchen ministries that it is not easy to collect Dongzhu and mink fur. If I unify the Northeast, I will not force them to pay tribute. They can trade with each other, and the treasures they collect can be sold to merchants at market prices.  .The people under my rule, all ethnic groups are equal. Let them endure the Tartars for another year or two, and when there is enough food and grass, they will surely destroy the Tartars in one battle."

    "Follow thePillowing his arms, the feeling made Zhao Han particularly exciting.

    Fei Rumei was also very exciting, lying sideways on her husband Huahua, she said to Fei Rulan on the other side: "Sister, you are so embarrassing."

    Shame on you, this girl is still laughing, looking eager to try.

    Instead, Fei Rulan was shy and deliberately changed the topic: "Xiyue has been out of the palace for almost half a year, and I have found a husband's family for her. She is a student of Jinling University, five years younger than Xiyue, and the student's family is also happy."

    Zhao Han's court ladies were usually released to the common people at the age of twenty, which was two years later than the court ladies released in the Qing Dynasty.

    Xiyue is Fei Rulan's maid, in her early twenties.  Seeing that Zhao Han didn't accept him for a long time, and he was released from the palace at the beginning of the year, the queen even specially asked someone to find a husband for her.

    Fei Rumei knew that her sister was shy, so she deliberately teased her: "Sister, your place is so big, it's exposed." Then she stretched out her hand and said, "Let me feel it to see if it's soft or not."

    "You're going to die!" Fei Rulan made a gesture to fight.

    "Hahaha!" Fei Rumei was not afraid, and really touched it.

    "Ah, begging for a fight!"

    The two sisters started laughing and squabbling across Zhao Han's body, and it was quite comfortable to rub against his chest.  Recommend: .recommend

    Although Sichuan and Guangxi have not yet occupied the entire territory, they have already taken all the elite places.

    Even, the development plans of the chief envoys have been sent to the emperor.

    ? With the backward productivity in ancient times, it is of course impossible to formulate a detailed plan, which is more like a long-term plan.  For example, what is the climate of a certain prefecture and which crops are suitable for planting, the government should vigorously guide and promote it; another example is a certain prefecture with convenient water and land transportation, and should focus on the development of commercial docks.

    Some time ago, Zhu Minru singled out Anding Town, which was already favored before sending troops.

    Here the two rivers meet, the land transportation is relatively convenient, and the population is large, the land is suitable for farming. The Chief Secretary of Guangxi requested to upgrade it to Anding County.  At the same time, it is necessary to immigrate and develop, so there is no need to migrate too much: 3,000 immigrants, plus the original people, are enough to develop into a small county.

    After reading the development plans of the two provinces, Zhao Han frowned immediately, and said to Li Xiangjun, the maid in charge, "I have summoned all the famous doctors in Jinling, and they will all come tomorrow morning."

    However, seeing that the cultivation of tobacco leaves in southern Jiangxi has generated a lot of income for the local people, officials in Sichuan and Guangxi also plan to promote the cultivation of tobacco leaves.

    At the same time, they also plan to expand the poppy planting area!

    Wu Youke is already sixty-one years old, and there is nothing to say about the first half of his life.  He has read sage books and is famous for his medical skills, but that's all. There are many Confucian doctors like Daming.

    Until the plague broke out, Wu Youke summed up the methods of plague prevention and treatment through his treatment experience, and wrote a book.

    Emperor Zhao Han not only ordered a reward, but also appointed him as the chief medical officer of the northern epidemic prevention.  As far as the plague is concerned, he can mobilize resources at will, and the local officials must fully cooperate.

    Great fame!

    Under the leadership of Wu Youke, with the efforts of all the doctors, and with the cooperation of the northern government and the people, the plague in Shandong and Henan provinces was brought under control last winter.  This year, Beizhili is also getting better day by day, Wu Youke was finally transferred back to Nanjing, and was promoted to the vice president of Jinling Medical College.

    "Sir, do you know why His Majesty summoned you?" Another famous doctor Xu Nanfu asked.

    Like Li Yu, Xu Nanfu came from a medical family. He is only in his thirties this year, but his medical skills are already outstanding.  During the period when he was transferred to the north to prevent the epidemic, he worshiped Wu Youke as his teacher. At this time, he was doing well in Nanjing.

    ?Because he is not only excellent in medicine, but also proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, when he is treating high-ranking officials and nobles, he can also talk about literature and art while taking his pulse.

    Wu Youke shook his head and said, "I don't know."

    Fu Shan muttered: "It may be some noble person who is suffering from a difficult and miscellaneous disease. Today he summoned many doctors to come for consultation."

    There were more than a dozen famous doctors sitting in the room, and they couldn't help frowning when they heard the word consultation.

    ?There is no standard for judging the consultation of Chinese medicine, and it is all judged by the doctor's experience.  Sometimes, the same doctor will prescribe different medicines for the same disease due to the different constitutions of the patients and the different seasons of the illness.

    How the hell do you consult a doctor, and who should you listen to when arguing?

    "The emperor is here!"

    The famous doctors got up immediately, and waited for the moment the emperor entered the door, they bowed together and said, "Meet Your Majesty!"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Please sit down."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The famous doctors sat back in their seats.

    Zhao Han didn't talk too much, and asked straight to the point: "Who knows Poppy?"

    The famous doctor Yan Xin wanted to show his performance, so he got up immediately and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, poppies came from the Western Regions in ancient times. Poppy seeds can be eaten as a snack, and can be prepared with a prescription to induce vomiting. Poppy shells can stop diarrhea and cure pain in the muscles and bones of confidants. Poppy  The seedlings can appetize and invigorate the spleen."

    Other famous doctors nodded one after another, because this belongs to the records.

    Zhao Han asked: "Can someone smoke opium poppy, just like smoking tobacco leaves?"

    The famous doctor Zhu Gangqian asked: "Your Majesty said, but is it a lotus ointment?"

    "It should be." Zhao Han nodded.

    Zhu Gangqian explained in detail: "A lot of people have smoked the ointment for a long time, but most of them were taken orally. In the tenth year of Chongzhen, the Ming court banned smoking, and many tobacco smokers switched to taking A lot of tobacco. Of course, before that, there were some gentry who used tobacco leaf  Mixed with drugs."

    "Is it addictive? If you don't smoke, you can't stand it." Zhao Han asked.

    "If you do have this symptom, it's like being addicted to alcohol. If you don't drink, you can't sleep." Zhu Gangqian replied.

    Zhao Han inquired in detail again, only to know that opium poppy had been introduced to China since the Tang Dynasty, and it was just a rare foreign medicine on the spot.  Later, it was introduced, but it was mainly used as an ornamental plant, and the rest of its value was medicinal and alchemy.

    Emperor Wanli took the elixir for a long time, and there is a "black fragrance" in it, which is the opium tribute from Southeast Asia.

    & n"Heaven is here to offer a fetish.  After taking it, His Majesty will definitely be full of energy, and the fatigue of copywriting will be swept away.  "

    Looking at the black paste, Zhao Han understood what was going on, and asked, "What is this?"

    Fei Ruyi replied: "Fushou cream."

    "Did you smoke?" Zhao Han asked again.

    Fei Ruyi said: "Since it is dedicated to His Majesty, I have smoked it long ago and know its wonderful benefits. Every time I smoke it, it not only communicates with heaven and man, but also lifts my spirits, and my whimsy and whimsy continue."

    Zhao Han asked: "Is this thing popular in Nanjing?"

    Fei Ruyi said: "Nowadays the Wenhui is popular, and the Fushou cream is also becoming more and more popular. It is a constant item in the elegant Wenhui. As far as I know, there are at least several hundred people in Nanjing."

    Zhao Han said to the guards outside the door: "Come here, take this guy to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and let him confess to the person who smoked drugs. If you don't confess, you will be tortured severely, and you must catch everyone. After arresting the person, forcibly quit.  If they don’t quit, they won’t let them go. Also, inform their family members that they will pay for all the expenses of quitting drugs, and they will have to pay for everything by themselves!”

    It wasn't until being dragged out by the guards that Fei Ruyi panicked and shouted: "Your Majesty, Fushou Ointment is really elegant, if you don't believe me, you can try it yourself.?

 Text 486 [Emperor Si Zonggang]

    If it weren't for the development plans of Sichuan and Guangxi, Zhao Han would never have known that opium had become popular in the upper circles of Nanjing.

    There are not just hundreds of people at all, but more than 1,300 people!

    A quarter of the officials of the Hanlin Academy and Qintian Academy have fallen.  I can't tell who started the trend, anyway, they all regard opium as a good thing, and when they are tired and sleepy, they come to take a few sips to relieve fatigue and refresh themselves.

    Even Xiao Shizhong, the dean of Qintian Academy, a leading mathematician in the New Dynasty of Datong, and the former crush of his younger sister Zhao Zhenfang, has become a loyal fan of opium.

    "Why are you touching that thing?" Zhao Han was heartbroken.

    Xiao Shizhong couldn't understand: "Your Majesty, why not take drugs? The two formulas I deduced this year are all inspired by taking drugs."

    Zhao Han could only explain intimidatingly: "This is poison. If you take it for a long time, your internal organs will rot, your mind will become dizzy, and your teeth will fall out. And the longer you smoke, the harder it is to quit. In the end, you know it's poison and you have to smoke it."

    Xiao Shizhong was dubious about this, and always felt that the emperor's words were alarmist.

    Zhao Han asked, "How did you get it?"

    Xiao Shizhong replied: "This spring, I was very tired from studying mathematics. One of my subordinates sent me medicine, saying that this product can relieve my fatigue. After I smoked it, many people in the Qintian Academy thought it was a good idea.  thing."

    Zhao Han can't be blamed, and those who don't know are not guilty.

    Until World War I, Europe and the United States still regarded drugs as good medicine, and during World War II, synthetic drugs were listed as military supplies.  The same goes for radioactive elements, which, because science is fashionable, even advertise baby products as containing radioactive elements.

    Fortunately, opium is very expensive, and it has not been spread among civilians for the time being, so it is very convenient for the government to investigate and arrest.

    Basically, if you catch one, you can take it out for a circle.

    It is impossible to deny the truth, throwing it into a prison for two days, and the addicts must scream wildly.

    Zhao Han said to Xiao Shizhong: "You temporarily suspend your job and quit the drug. If you can't quit, not only can you not continue to be the dean of Qintian, but you will not be able to study mathematics from tonight."

    Xiao Shizhong was shocked and said: "Your Majesty, it's okay not to be an official, why can't you study mathematics?"

    Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't think about obedience and transgression, keep you imprisoned, don't give you paper and pen, let's see how you do your research! Of course, this time is an exception. You can rehabilitate well in prison, while refraining from opiates.  Do your research."

    There were so many pleadings, Li Kefa, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came to plead for his son in person.

    He didn't dare to disobey Zhao Han's will, so he just asked to take his son home and let his family take care of him to wean him off slowly.

    Zhao Han said directly: "You can take your son home, let's talk about it after you resign. By the way, you can go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and see why I forbid smoking drugs."

    Resign?

    Li Kefa was so frightened that he immediately shut up, and was taken to the prison of the Ministry of Justice by the guards.

    In just a few days, there were more than a thousand people here.  The cells are all overcrowded, there are no single rooms, and there are no double rooms. Twenty or thirty people are crowded into one cell.

    "I beg the messenger, give me a bite!"

    "Let me out, let me out!"

    "I'm dying, untie me quickly, I'm going to hit the wall and commit suicide!"

    ""

    Li Kefa was terrified when he came to the area where drug addicts were detained.

    Hundreds of people suffered from drug addiction, crying and screaming.  Their hands and feet were bound, and they rolled all over the floor in discomfort. Some even lost control of their urine and feces.

    "Li Shilang, Mr. Ling is inside." The jailer pointed to a cell and said.

    It took a long time for Li Kefa to recognize who his son was.

    Li Zhun is locked up with his good friend Fei Ruyi, and both of them are in a state of drug addiction.  Fei Ruyi's voice was hoarse, her face was full of tears and snot, and she was still twisting and twisting.  Li Zhun huddled in the corner and kept hitting the wall with his head, but lying on the ground with his hands and feet tied, the force of hitting the wall could at most knock him out.

    Li Kefa turned around and looked at the other cells. This situation was everywhere, and his whole body turned cold: "This ghost is also, A Furong is a harmful thing!"

    Not long after, officials from the cabinet, the ten cao, and the ten ministries were brought in by the prison guards in batches for observation.

    They couldn't understand Zhao Han's policy, so they were thrown by the emperor collectively.

    Li Banghua stood beside him silently, and then left silently.  Not only did he understand, but he also went home that night, called all his wives, concubines, and grandchildren, and said sternly: "In the future, anyone who dares to take drugs and drugs will be expelled from the gate immediately, or not allowed to enter the family tree, even if he dies."  You cannot enter the ancestral hall. I immediately wrote a letter back to Jiangxi, the descendants of the Li family,; To make up for the past is to be just, to be self-improving is to be just, to be strict in government and punishment, to be righteous and courageous to be just Although it is only a posthumous posthumous title, Zhao Han has already beautified Chongzhen.

    Zhao Han has now given Chongzhen a temple name and a posthumous title, and it is only when Daming is in the south that it can be considered a real turning point. This is called a final conclusion.

    ? Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu bowed and withdrew, with joy on their faces.

    They used to hate Chongzhen very much, but now they miss him a little.  To be able to give Chongzhen a good posthumous title is also a matter of peace, and he can gain the gratitude of the scholars of the previous dynasty.

    "Your Majesty is still kind." Zhang Pu said with emotion.

    Qian Qianyi also sighed: "Yes, it is considered extremely kind."

    The two left, Zhang Dai, who went to North Korea to become the king, returned to Nanjing to report to the emperor.

    After reporting on the mission, Zhang Dai cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the King of Korea please send the young girl to Nanjing to be a court lady."

    It doesn't matter if it's a court lady, she can be released from the palace when she reaches the marriageable age, and she can find a lover to marry.  Zhao Han nodded and said, "Yes."

    The youngest sister of the king of Korea, the only daughter of Li Ji, the historical Lord Xiaoming, is only six years old this year

    This is a consistent practice in North Korea. The young daughters of high-ranking officials are selected and sent to the Ming court to be court ladies. There is a certain chance that they will be canonized as concubines.

    In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, they also liked to select foreign boys and girls and bring them into the palace to be eunuchs and maids.  Because they have no relatives in Daming, they are not afraid that their relatives will interfere with politics.

    Vietnamese eunuchs, Korean court ladies, that is a major feature of Ming Dynasty.

    It's just that the king of North Korea, who rose to power by a coup d'état, is so humble to China that he sent his own sister to be a court lady.

 Body 487 [Chinese businessmen]

    Dali Temple, the Supreme Court of the country.

    Because the emperor attached great importance to the case, Dali Temple Minister Tang Yi tried it in person and announced the verdict: "Since the defendant did not know that the drug was poisonous, and there was no relevant law in this dynasty, the corresponding punishment was exempted. Judgments were made on the merchants Zhou Zhi, Chen Bangding,  Jin Xuekong and Li Guangxun were acquitted and released. All the defendants were sentenced, and all the drugs were immediately handed over to Dali Temple for centralized destruction. After the promulgation of the "Decree Prohibiting Planting, Prohibiting the Sale and Fasting of Drugs", if the defendants commit another crime,  This crime will be counted together!"

    Li Guangxun's whole body went limp, and he sat down on the spot. He thought he was going to die.

    Several merchants left Dali Temple together, Zhou Zhi said: "I dare not stay here in the south, I want to apply to immigrate to Shandong with my whole family."

    "Yes, yes, the south must not stay." Li Guangxun was terrified.

    Although Dali Temple acquitted them, the terrible aftereffects of the addicts after they were imprisoned have already spread throughout Nanjing.

    And those more than a thousand smokers are either rich or expensive.

    Even, seven of them died due to drug rehab. I dare not ask the emperor to settle the account, but have to put it all on the merchants who sell drugs.

    A group of merchants returned home and ordered their families to prepare for relocation, and then went to the government to apply for relocation. They were willing to bear all the immigration expenses themselves.

    I'm afraid that if I walk too slowly, I will be made things difficult by the officials every day, and even be accused of committing crimes and die!

    Chen Bangding and Jin Xuekong were not reconciled, and they got together to discuss secretly.

    "Brother Chen," Jin Xuekong said, "neither you nor I can be called rich, and there is no other way to do business. So we went to the north, what can we do for a living?"

    Chen Bangding also thought so, but he was afraid of being punished: "What if you don't go to the north? Li Shilang's son, and Mr. Xi Ming himself, have suffered a lot from drugs this time, and they may be retaliated if they stay in Nanjing!"  "

    "Go overseas!" Jin Xuekong said.

    Chen Bangding asked: "Brother Jin has connections overseas?"

    Jin Xuekong said: "Although this drug is harmful, as long as it does not harm the people of the country. We sell the drug to Japan, North Korea, Annan, first to the local rich, and then to the local nobles. The more people who smoke  The more we get, the more we can get rich. If Your Majesty doesn’t fast on drugs and arrest so many people to detoxify in prisons, we don’t know that this thing is so hard to get rid of. Since it makes people want to stop, it’s a big business, this is  A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

    Chen Bangding hesitated and said: "But the cultivation of poppies is banned everywhere. Where can I get so many drugs and sell them?"

    Jin Xuekong said with a smile: "My little brother still left some poppy seeds, which were not confiscated by the officials. Let's go to Annan first and find a piece of land to plant. After the business in Annan is booming, we will hire sea ships to go to Japan to do business!"

    Sea-going ships also have a leasing business, because sea transportation is very dangerous, some ship owners simply sit and collect rent.

    First pay a deposit, and you must have a collateral. If the ship is shipwrecked and overturned, the owner will not refund the deposit, and then ask the government to make a judgment to compensate the collateral.

    Chen Bangding said: "Annan has never been there."

    Jin Xuekong said: "I have a fellow countryman doing business in Annan. According to what he said, the southernmost territory of Annan Ruan Lord was expanded and occupied in the past few decades. The indigenous people there were driven and killed by Annan, and the population has not yet recovered.  Come here, there are still many unowned lands in the mountains. The Annan government also encourages Han people to cultivate, as long as they pay taxes honestly. Let’s find some land from the Annan government and plant poppies as medicinal materials.”

    Chen Bangding hesitated.

    Jin Xuekong urged: "Would you like to, give me a word quickly. Let's go together, and we will take care of each other. If you don't go, then I will go by myself."

    "Man dies for money, and birds die for food. Done!" Chen Bangding gritted his teeth and went all out.

    These two vicious and smoking guys now know that the drug is poisonous, and they are going to harm people for money.

    Although it was not the Chinese who were harmed, Zhao Han will punish him severely if he finds out.  Because once drugs are rampant in neighboring countries, they will come back sooner or later, as you can see in the United States of later generations.

    The two first moved their family to Qiongzhou, and after they settled down, they went to the southernmost part of Vietnam together.

    The place they chose is located at the junction of the three countries of Annan, Champa, and Nanpan. It can be understood as a three-way zone, and at the same time it is actually controlled by the Vietnamese Nguyen regime.

    Everything was settled, Jin Xuekong stayed in the local area to clear up the relationship, and Chen Bangding went to Yunnan to buy drugs.

    They couldn't even wait to grow their own. After buying the spot, they offered the drug to the magistrate, saying that it was a medicine for relieving fatigue and curing diseases.  After the other party became addicted, he said that this is a Chinese elegant thing, and scholars like to drink it.

    &nbnbsp;"Changfu," Chen Dongshan came over with his job bowl, and said mysteriously, "Have you heard that the Ming Dynasty is gone, and the emperor has changed from his hometown!"

    Lin Changfu smiled and said, "I heard that the new emperor's surname is Zhao."

    Chen Dongshan added: "I also heard people say that this is a good emperor. In our hometown, the farmers can divide the fields. There is not enough food in the fields, and they can go fishing at will. The new court can't stop fishing boats."

    "Redistribute the land? Why is there such a good thing? Don't listen to people talking nonsense." Lin Changfu shook his head again and again.

    Chen Dongshan said: "If you can't divide the land, you can change the emperor. I have saved more than forty taels of silver, and I can buy a few acres of land when I go back to my hometown, and I can also repair the ancestor's grave.  Go back, maybe you can catch up with the Chinese New Year."

    "Where are the wives and children?" Lin Changfu asked.

    Chen Dongshan said: "I will definitely take it back, so why not stay here?"

    While the two Chinese boatmen were chatting, the Eastern Affairs Council of the East India Company was having a heated discussion.

    Discuss two topics:

    First, whether to fully withdraw from the South China Sea, because it is more profitable to wait for the Chinese businessmen to ship the goods to Batavia than to go to China for the Netherlands.

    Second, whether to allow the Chinese in Batavia to build schools?

 Text 488【Tu Hua】

    "According to statistics, since the emperor of China opened the port, the price of Chinese goods going to sea has become lower and lower. This is also due to the effective rule of the emperor of China. He rectified the Chinese currency, stabilized the Chinese commercial tax, and cleared the  Corrupt officials and gangsters. There are more and more maritime merchants in China, and they can get goods at a lower price than us. When Zheng’s pirates were incorporated by the Chinese emperor, although the port tariffs increased, they no longer paid protection fees to pirates.  The profit margins of the merchants have been greatly improved"

    "Gentlemen, taking into account the consumption of goods purchased in Guangdong and the loss of ships, the overall cost of Dutch merchant ships going to Guangdong to purchase goods in person is at least 10% higher than waiting for Chinese merchants to ship them directly in BataviaTherefore, I propose,  The merchant ships of the East India Company no longer go to China to do business in person. Of course, the Japanese trade must be preserved.”

    "In the future, the East India Company can retain these three trade routes in the Far East"

    "Article 1, Chinese merchants shipped goods to Batavia, and the East India Company shipped goods back to Europe from Batavia."

    "Article 2, Japan-Zelandia-Vietnam-Batavia-Europe."

    "Article 3, Spice Islands - Batavia - Europe."

    As soon as the East India Company Director-General of Eastern Affairs finished speaking, Governor Anthony Van Diemen firmly opposed it. He said angrily, "Gentlemen, don't you only see that little profit? Withdrawing from China now,  Waiting for Chinese merchants to sell their goods to Batavia. After the rise of Chinese merchants, they will inevitably promote the development of the Chinese navy. At that time, we may not be able to stay in Batavia, and even the Straits of Malacca will be taken away by the Chinese!"

    Director-General Huis smiled and said: "Your Excellency, you don't understand the Chinese. The Chinese only care about their land, and they have no interest in the sea. In the eyes of the Chinese emperor and ministers, the rich Chinese mainland already has enough  Why do you have to brave the storm to venture into the dangerous ocean? In Batavia, I often heard the story of Zheng He. The Chinese official Zheng He led a huge fleet more than two hundred years ago.  All the way to Africa. But they are going to show off their force. As long as the countries are willing to pay tribute, they will not do other things. Chinese merchant ships are not suitable for oceangoing, and shipping goods to Batavia is the limit. Batavia  and Malacca, will always belong to the Netherlands."

    "No, I know Chinese people, especially Chinese businessmen," Anthony said. "Their greed and courage are no less than European adventurers. Today the Netherlands withdraws from the South China Sea, and tomorrow it will be forced to withdraw from the Far East!"

    Huis said: "Your Excellency, your worries are unnecessary."

    Anthony was so angry that he slapped the table: "No one here is more familiar with the Far East than me. You are doing a stupid thing! In order to reduce the cost by 10%, you even gave up the business route from China to Batavia!"

    Anthony, the governor of Batavia, was born as a businessman, and he was an unsuccessful businessman.

    He is more suitable to be at the helm!

    He united Chinese businessmen and Malay natives, defeated the Sudanese army, occupied Batavia with fewer victories, and built the city of Batavia with his own hands.  Together, they took a group of natives and captured Sri Lanka and Malacca from Portugal.  Through diplomacy and war, the governor of Goa and King Fars were forced to sue for peace, and obtained the monopoly rights of local peppers, spices and other commodities.

    He also started the trade between Japan and Vietnam.

    He sent an expedition fleet and discovered strange lands such as the New Southwest, the North Coast of Australia, Tonga, and Fiji.

    He even formulated the "Batavian Code" himself, opened Latin schools, Catholic churches, hospitals, and orphanages everywhere, and carried out cultural colonization while colonizing by force.

    Such a far-sighted and overall-looking governor, he single-handedly created a stable situation in the Far East for the Dutch East India Company.

    However, after the situation stabilized, there were more and more obstacles, and it was very likely that the Dutch headquarters did it on purpose!

    Huis did not quarrel with Anthony, but only said: "Let's vote with a show of hands. Those who agree with the proposal, please raise your hand."

    More than 80% of the council members raised their hands in favor.

    Huis looked at Anthony: "Your Excellency, do you need another vote?"

    Anthony said: "I have voted against in the name of the governor of Batavia! The result of the vote of the council cannot be passed under the objection of the governor. It needs to be taken back to the Netherlands and submitted to the seventeen-member meeting for voting."

    "Of course, this is the governor's power, and the proposal will be brought back to the Netherlands soon." Huis smiled.

    Dominate East Asia?

    Hehe, the board of directors of the Dutch headquarters has no interest in this.  The gentlemen of the seventeen-member meeting only need to be responsible to the majority of shareholders and to the investors of the stock exchange.

    ? Reduce the total cost of shipping by a full 10%,?Latecomers to re-immigration.  In order to restore the colony, Spain tried every means to invite Chinese merchants back, and even gave various tax incentives at the beginning.

    Wan Zhaoan took his father-in-law's family and the Chinese guys in the store, and soon came to the street with his luggage.

    The streets were already in chaos, and a large number of Chinese civilians fled around.

    Seeing that there was no solution, Wan Zhaoan suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, and shouted, "Is there a Datong army? Datong army gather!"

    After shouting for a long time, no one responded.

    Wan Zhaoan could only drag his wife along with his father-in-law's family to continue fleeing.

    He is a disabled veteran, with his left middle finger and ring finger broken.  He could have been assigned to be a policeman, but he came to the Philippines to make a living because there was a child relationship here.

    Wan Zhaoan ran for a certain distance, the shelling gradually stopped, and the Chinese fleeing in front suddenly ran back.

    "There are red-haired soldiers ahead, run back quickly!"

    "The firecracker is powerful, you can't rush!"

    ""

    Not long after, a large number of Chinese fled in another direction.

    The Chinese settlement was surrounded by several sides, but the number of Spanish soldiers was not enough, so Japanese mercenaries and local native soldiers were brought in to make up the number.

    The local native soldiers are weak chickens, and they are very active in massacring civilians, but they will flee when encountering fierce battles.

    Thousands of Chinese rushed towards the native soldiers together, and they could only break out from here.

    But soon, the Chinese civilians at the entrance of the alley were overwhelmed and ran back one after another. The entrance of the alley was completely blocked.

    "It's on fire, it's on fire!"

    The Spaniards even set fire, trying to burn all the settlements and the Chinese to death.

    Seeing the fire on all sides, these Chinese finally went all out and rushed forward with the butcher's knife of the native soldiers.  The native soldiers were frightened instead, let go of the alley, turned around and fled.

    Wan Zhaoan squeezed out of the street with the crowd. At this time, Spanish soldiers and Japanese mercenaries were already chasing and killing them from both sides.

    The Chinese jumped down the Bashi River one after another, crossed the river and fled to the swampy area further north.

    The Spanish officers chased them down on horseback, and slashed at the last Chinese who escaped.  The native soldiers pulled their bows and shot arrows into the crowd of Chinese.  The Japanese mercenaries raised their Japanese swords and chased them all the way.

    After more than 3,000 people died, the Chinese finally rushed into the woods.

    Regardless of men, women, or children, they picked up branches and stones to make weapons, and then helped the old and the young to go to the swamp.

    In the massacre 40 years ago, more than 400 Chinese also fled to this swamp.  Facing the pursuers, they collectively jumped into the swamp to commit suicide, unwilling to be caught by the Spaniards.

    Wan Zhaoan rushed to the crowd and shouted: "I am a soldier of the 1st Brigade, 3rd Regiment, and 6th Battalion of the 7th Division of the Datong Army. I have served as a soldier for His Majesty the Emperor of Datong. Those who trust me will obey my orders. Now, whoever  Have you brought a rope? Come ten people and follow me into the swamp. Tie your waist with a rope and pull it out if you sink in. No one is allowed to wander around. All line up and grab the clothes of the compatriots in front! Go deep into the swamp and get out of it.  After chasing troops, all supplies will be distributed uniformly!?

 Text 489【Survival Army】

    "Go, prepare for a grand ceremony, this is a great victory!"

    The Governor of the Philippines, Coquera, appointed by the Spanish royal family, smiled and gave orders to the provincial governor, bishop, judges, and military officers.

    Governor Sanders was a little scared: "Your Excellency, the emperor of China, will he send troops to retaliate?"

    Coquera reassured everyone and said: "No, the emperor of China only rules the local people, and they don't care about the lives of overseas people. Fifty years ago, we killed the Chinese in the Philippines, and the emperor of China did not send troops to fight. Forty years  Before, we killed the Chinese in the Philippines, and the Chinese emperor also did not send troops. Of course, the Chinese emperor is very concerned about saving face, and we should send a mission to apologize. Just take out gifts, kneel down and apologize to him, claiming that the Filipino Chinese rioted,  The Emperor of China will certainly not pursue it."

    "This is the best way, Your Excellency Governor, please send envoys as soon as possible." Sanders said.

    Coquella said: "Mr. Governor, you are in charge of selling the properties of those Chinese, and every gentleman present has a share."

    "Thank you, Your Excellency, the kind and generous Governor." Everyone immediately cheered and praised.

    ?In addition to eliminating the threat of too many Han Chinese, Coquila's slaughter of Chinese people this time is also to take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

    Just this year, Spain suffered major defeats in both Europe and the Americas.

    Spain's coastal colonial strongholds in Chile were all pulled out by the Netherlands, and the Pacific route was directly cut off.  In other words, Spain's American fleet could not transport goods to the Philippines, but could only return to Europe through the Atlantic Ocean.

    Spain lost disastrously to France in the Battle of Rocroix and the Battle of Cartagena, losing its European and Mediterranean hegemony.

    The Spanish royal family's finances are getting worse and worse, and the governor of the Philippines is even worse.

    The American fleet could not get through, and the spice channel was blocked by the Netherlands. Every shipment of spices had to pay taxes to the Netherlands.

    Moreover, in order to save money, Coquila reduced the garrison in Keelung two years ago.  Zhao Han took the opportunity to set up Keelung County, which was tantamount to recovering Keelung without bloodshed. Spain had only one trade point in Taiwan, and this trade point had to be governed by Chinese officials.

    News has come from the mainland of Spain that Coquera will be convicted. In history, this bastard was imprisoned in Spain for four years because he lost Taiwan.

    ?Desperately short of money in hand, and was about to be arrested and punished, Coquella came up with a vicious plan.

    Kill all the Chinese in the Philippines and share the robbed money with everyone. The financial deficit can be reversed in an instant, and a lot of officials can be bought.  He can also leave a sum and take it back to Spain to bribe the royal family to avoid punishment for himself.

    As for killing all the Chinese and causing the Philippine colony to fail to operate, the bad consequences have nothing to do with Coquila?

    His term of office as governor is coming to an end, just leave it to the next governor to have a headache!

    In the Jiannei Chinese settlement outside Manila, only some of the outer buildings were burned.  Those vicious guys are reluctant to burn them all, because the Chinese district is very rich, and many goods can be snatched by the opportunity.

    Spanish military officers led the army and rushed into the Chinese district to rob everywhere. The few Chinese who did not escape would be killed even if they handed over their property.

    However, Spanish civilians and indigenous civilians traveled further afield in groups.  Because there are Chinese villages nearby, it is estimated that there are still some Chinese who have not had time to escape, so they can take the opportunity to kill people and rob things.

    More than a dozen Chinese business leaders were collectively escorted outside the city.

    They begged in pain, because the Philippine Governor had promised that no matter what happened, they would protect their lives and properties.

    However, to no avail, they were dragged to the river and killed.

    It was the same forty years ago. Many Chinese businessmen betrayed their compatriots, and even a rebel leader rebelled.  Just because the provincial governor Akuna promised to take them into the city and protect their lives and properties.

    As a result, he died as soon as he entered the city. It was a booby-killing operation.

    All Filipino Chinese know about this incident, but there are still merchants who repeat the same mistakes, with a sad trace of luck in their hearts.  However, more Chinese businessmen learned their lesson and fled without hesitation, even resisting when they were intercepted by the chasing soldiers

    swampy area.

    The chasing soldiers stood on the periphery and hesitated. They didn't want to chase in. It would be bad if they got stuck in a swamp.

    There are a total of six Spanish officers on horseback, 106 Spanish musketeers, more than 300 Japanese mercenaries, and the remaining 2,000 are all Pampanga.

    Commander Blanco was silent, he was very envious of Chinese goods.

    There are more than 10,000 Chinese living in Jiannei, and at least 3,000 of them managed to escape into the swamp, and they must have brought a lot of gold and silver.

    mopping up??Those who are over twelve years old are all organized as soldiers, and the military system is exactly the same as that of the Datong Army.

    There are three military laws: all supplies belong to the public, no oppression of compatriots is allowed, and those who disobey orders will die!

    In a group of ten people, search for food on the spot.

    What can be in the swamp?

    It's nothing more than grass roots, insects and ants. If you are lucky, you can get a fish.  Even these can only be eaten raw, because there is no dry wood for a fire, and no iron pots and clay pots for cooking.

    Fortunately, someone with a compass can recognize the direction!

    ? While searching for food, they hurried on the road, and after another four days of walking, these refugees were finally brought out of the swamp.  Of the 3,294 people who were reorganized, only 2,616 died of illness, starvation, and drowning, and only 12 of the 45 children died.

    The only good news is that everyone is very obedient, there is no internal strife, and no power seizure.

    ?Because they were so hungry that they were weak all over, more or less sick, and just wanted to get something to eat quickly to survive.

    "There is a red-haired ghost's manor in the northwest. The third shopkeeper and I went there to collect mountain goods." A clerk offered to provide information.

    Wan Zhaoan asked, "Is there any firecrackers?"

    The buddy nodded: "Yes! The red-haired ghosts have firecrackers in their hands. I have seen them go hunting in the mountains."

    Wan Zhaoan continued to advance with his troops, and two more died in half a year, whether they died of illness or starvation.

    Finally, they approached a sugar cane plantation in the afternoon.

    The surrounding area is densely packed with sugarcane. According to the guy, in the center of the sugarcane garden is the house of the red-haired ghost.

    Wan Zhaoan warned these people: "There will be a war soon. You have all become familiar with your superiors in the past few days. Remember, soldiers must follow the corps leader, and the corps leader must obey the orders of the chief, and the chief must obey the captain's orders."  Order Quietly pass through the sugarcane field. The sugarcane forest is very large. If you keep ordering, you will easily get separated. If you get separated, you will not be able to get out. The first group followed me to the east, and the second group followed Lei Xiucai to the west. Immediately  action!"

    This order, spoken from Wan Zhaoan's mouth, was forgotten by everyone in a blink of an eye.

    More than 2,000 half-starved refugees rushed into the sugarcane fields, broke off the sugarcane and gnawed on it, seeming to have forgotten all about the war.

    Wan Zhaoan suppressed his anger and said: "Get up, there are plenty of big fish and meat in the red-haired ghost's house!"

    A young man who was a shoemaker said: "Marshal, let everyone eat a few bites first. If you don't eat sugarcane, you won't have the strength to walk."

    It was really gnawing, not only chewing sugarcane water, but also swallowing all the bagasse because everyone was so hungry.

    Perhaps it was because more than 2,000 people broke sugar cane, and the commotion was too great, and soon a few natives came running, yelling something.

    "kill!"

    Wan Zhaoan drew his sword and rushed forward, and everyone also rushed forward with sugar cane sticks.

 Text 491 [China and the Netherlands join hands to fight Spain?  】

    Before Zheng Zhilong arrived in Nanjing, the Spanish envoys came first.

    They brought two hundred catties of spices and some American native products, and made a special trip from Manila to China to apologize to the emperor.

    There are eight envoys in total, and the leader is called Anio.

    These bastards were extremely humble. When they met, they knelt down and kowtowed to Zhao Han: "Spanish missions, pay homage to the great and invincible Emperor of China!"

    Zhao Han asked blankly: "I heard that you massacred Chinese people in Luzon for no reason?"

    Anio replied: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, some bandits among the Chinese are entangled and want to capture Manila. When His Excellency the Governor heard the news, he sent troops to hunt down the rioters. Who knows, the damn Japanese mercenaries and Pampanga  The local soldiers, they did not obey the orders of the Governor, they rushed to the Chinese-inhabited area and killed wantonly. The Governor was very angry and had already dealt with these Japanese and Pampanga people. The Governor felt sad and sorry for the misfortune of the Chinese,  And let us come and apologize with presents."

    Zhao Han has difficulty understanding the thinking of Europeans. The Philippine massacre of China this time is just like last year when the Netherlands went to Taipei to build a castle. It is completely crazy behavior.

    There is no need for Zhao Han to react at all, because Manila has become a "dead city" due to the massacre of Chinese.

    What is a dead city?

    There is no barber, no shoe repairer, no one repairs the docked boats, and no one even cleans up the shit.

    The operation of the city came to a standstill, and the Spanish civilians who participated in the murder and robbery were unable to buy the most basic daily necessities after robbing blood-stained goods.

    Since you can't understand it, you don't have to understand it.

    Zhao Han didn't even bother to ask any more questions, he waved his hand and said, "Except for the leader, cut off all limbs and cut off their tongues. It's better to heal them, don't let them die. This leader, cut off the thumbs of both hands and feet, let  He brought a sentence back to Luzon: blood for blood!"

    After the translation was completed, the Spanish envoy was terrified.

    Arneau shouted in panic: "Your Majesty, we are messengers, you can't do this!"

    "Take it down." Zhao Han turned a deaf ear.

    Eight Spanish envoys were dragged to the execution ground.  Not only the executioner came, but also several skilled trauma doctors were invited to stop the bleeding and heal their wounds at any time.

    "ah!"

    There were screams one after another, some people fainted from pain, while others fainted from fright.

    It's okay to cut off the arms, but it's troublesome to cut off the legs, often with one cut and two more cuts.

    Hemostasis is also very rough, burn the red hot iron along the cross-section of the limbs, scald the flesh and blood into coke, and apply some gold sore medicine to bandage it.

    Before it was Arnio's turn, this guy fainted from fright.

    After waking up with cold water and having his thumb cut off from all four limbs, Anio could only cry in despair.  He just lost his labor force, but the others were cut into human sticks. It has to be said that he is very lucky.

    The guys were thrown aboard and returned to the Philippines immediately.

    As for how many people will die on the way, Zhao Han doesn't care, it doesn't matter if they all die.

    Immediately afterwards, Zheng Zhilong and the Dutch envoys arrived in Nanjing almost at the same time.

    Just like encouraging Japan to expel Spain and Portugal, the Netherlands also wants to seize the opportunity this time and instigate Zhao Han to send troops to attack Manila.

    The deputy envoy and translator of the Dutch mission was actually a Chinese.

    Zhao Han summoned this person alone and asked, "When did you travel to Nanyang?"

    Huang Zan replied: "Three years ago."

    Zhao Han was quite surprised: "In three years, you became the deputy envoy of the Dutch mission?"

    Huang Zan was a little embarrassed: "Your Majesty, Cao Min's first wife is the widow of a member of the Batavia Council."

    Well, married a widow with money and connections.

    Zhao Han asked: "Are there many rich widows in Nanyang?"

    Huang Zan lowered his head and replied, "There are a lot."

    Southeast Asian rich widows have become a group.

    When the European colonists came to Southeast Asia, it was impossible to kill all the aborigines. They had to recruit a group and fight another group.  Most of these colonists were men, and there were almost no European women, so they intermarried with local women.

    Most of those who were able to intermarry with the upper-class colonists also came from aboriginal aristocratic families.

    Through their natal family's local influence and their husband's status as a colonial official, they personally went into business and made a lot of money.  Moreover, the money is not the husband's, but what he earns is his own, unless the husband chooses to go to war with the woman's family.

    ?; It is not only sold in the Netherlands, but also in Portugal and the United Kingdom.

    Today, opium has spread in Java and Sumatra, and has begun to spread from the upper class to the bottom.  A large number of Chinese merchants, as well as Chinese laborers, have become addicted to opium.

    Historically, no one has stopped this behavior. By the 19th century, 16% of Javanese smoked opium.  They even offered opium to their guests as a sign of hospitality, and opium became a must at banquets for the Javanese nobility.  In the entire Java Island, the Chinese consume the largest amount of opium, and even the low-level civilians are buying and smoking!

    Compared with the opium trade in the Netherlands, the two Chinese selling opium in Vietnam are simply nothing.

    Zhao Han asked: "Do Jimei (Cambodia) and Annan have drug business?"

    "Jimi has it, but very few, and it seems that Annan hasn't passed it on." Huang Zan replied.

    Opium has been flooded in Java Island, so it must spread to the whole of Southeast Asia.

    In the late Qing Dynasty, opium was rampant in China, and the root of the disaster came from European businessmen in the late Ming Dynasty.  The Netherlands alone sells more than 50,000 kilograms of opium every year, plus the United Kingdom, Spain, and Portugal, how many Asians will be killed!

    After inquiring about the news again, Huang Zan couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, the joint dispatch of troops with the Netherlands"

    Zhao Han waved Huang Zan back, but did not give an affirmative answer. He wanted to ask Zheng Zhilong again.  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/681290460.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/681290460.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Text 492【Taking advantage of his illness to kill him】

    "Meet Your Majesty!" Zheng Zhilong clasped his hands together.

    "Give me a seat." Zhao Han smiled kindly.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    When Zheng Zhilong sat down, Zhao Han asked straight to the point: "How many warships does Spain have in Luzon?"

    Zheng Zhilong replied: "At most, there were six galleons and more than ten ordinary warships. In the past few years, the Netherlands has been intercepting and attacking Spanish ships, and both sides have suffered some losses. In the past few months, there have been news  , Spain seems to have suffered a defeat in the Far East. The four galleons were stuck in the Americas and could not return, and it seems that they are planning to fight another battle in the Americas. As for the ordinary warships, there are less than ten left."

    "What kind of ship is a galleon?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zheng Zhilong said with emotion: "The giant ships with more than a thousand materials are all made of century-old hardwoods. Our navy will surround one of them with ten ships, and the artillery will bombard them for several hours. It is estimated that it will not be able to sink it."

    Spain's Manila galleon has been trading across the Pacific Ocean all year round, so the hull is extremely strong.

    This kind of large sailing ship, the smallest displacement is 500 tons, and the largest displacement can reach 1,200 tons.

    Zhao Han asked again: "How about the northern part of Luzon?"

    Zheng Zhilong replied: "They are all native savages."

    The governor of the Netherlands really had a good plan. China and the Netherlands joined forces to attack Spain. China only got a piece of barren land, but the Netherlands was able to seize a prosperous port and, by the way, the entire Pacific waterway.

    Zhao Han asked again: "How many troops will be needed to capture Manila?"

    Zheng Zhilong thought carefully: "We need the navy to send out another 3,000 strong troops. Manila can't forcefully attack the city, and can only besiege the city with heavy troops, until the food in the city is cut off. Therefore, a large amount of food and grass must be prepared, at least half a year's worth of food and grass."

    "How sure are you?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zheng Zhilong said: "If there are 3,000 strong troops, even if they cannot sink the Spanish galleon, they will be able to transport troops to the north of Manila by surprise. At that time, the food inside and outside the city will be cut off. No matter how powerful the galleon is, it can only be ignored.  The Red Devils have few soldiers. Even if they recruit civilians as soldiers, they can have at most two or three thousand. Fighting on land, as long as they don't attack the city, they can't win. There is no guarantee of defeating the Spanish warships.  Landing and capturing Manila, as long as three months of food and grass are guaranteed, I am very sure of winning."

    "Then fight, bring Holland to fight together," Zhao Han said, "You come to be the coach, take down Manila, and make you the Duke of Nanhai!"

    Canonized Duke?

    Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up, and he knelt down and said, "I will die!"

    Maritime merchants in Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Ningbo Many ports are in their cities, and they are called by the chief envoy to discuss.

    Zhao Han didn't have so much money and food to fight the sea battle, so he used merchants to do things!

    Issue war bonds to Chinese maritime merchants with the commercial taxes of major ports in the Philippines as collateral.  In addition, companies that purchase war bonds can have a certain percentage of goods each year, which can be taxed at Philippine ports, and this tax reduction can be transferred to others.

    As for how many goods can be tax-free, it depends on the amount of bonds purchased by everyone, and the conversion is carried out according to the bond purchase ratio.

    Fuzhou.

    ? Hundreds of representatives of Fujian maritime merchants spontaneously organized a meeting.

    Lin Fusheng was the first to speak and said, "Gentlemen, Fujianese are the most Han Chinese doing business in Luzon. This time, the Red Tibetan ghosts killed innocent people indiscriminately, and everyone suffered heavy losses. Some clan members were killed, and some merchant ships were robbed.  Now I don’t dare to go to Luzon to run a boat, and I can’t mess with the business elsewhere. Many seagoing ships are idle at the dock. Now His Majesty wants to seek justice for the dead Han people, and also wants to restore business for us Fujian businessmen. My Lin  Fusheng, willing to buy 2,000 shi grain bonds!"

    Buying 2,000 shi of grain bonds means transporting 2,000 shi of grain to the Philippine battlefield, and Zhao Han will return them with interest after five years.

    The freight and risk are borne by the sea merchant!

    ? At first glance, it looks like a loss-making deal, and the sea merchants are definitely not willing.  But what they value more is the Philippine market and the annual Philippine port tax relief.

    Even if there is no tax cut, if Zhao Han can win Manila, the Fujian sea merchants will fall asleep and wake up laughing.

    Because doing business in the Philippines, only Chinese ships have the heaviest tariffs, even twice that of merchant ships from other countries!  In and outside Manila, the Chinese are also the most heavily taxed, and each Chinese has to pay an additional head tax.

    ? Fujian maritime merchants were hesitant. They were afraid of the risk of transporting grain, and they were afraid that they would not be able to capture the Philippines.

    Finally, someone gritted his teeth and said: "It's all right, my Li family subscribes for a 500 shi bond! I don't know if I wait like thisPart of it is handed over to China.

    Hawksbill City is the capital of a native country in Luzon. It was destroyed more than a hundred years ago, and there are especially many Chinese and indigenous people.  The local Chinese were massacred twice, and the later Lanfang Company established the Lanfang Republic in that area.

    Van Diemen believes that he has given enough sincerity. The geographical location of Hawksbill City is the second only existence in Luzon Island after Manila.

    The Netherlands wants Manila, and China wants Hawksbill City. The two parties are fair cooperation.

    Zhao Han didn't even bother to reply to the letter, let's talk about it after typing!

    In order to send troops to the Philippines, Zhao Han specially formed the "Luzon Expeditionary Army".  Farmers and soldiers were recruited in Fujian and Guangdong, and musket training was conducted in winter, plus a total of 3,500 medical soldiers.

    In Li Banghua's view, it is really unwise to send troops this time.

    However, Zhao Han did not want to let go of the opportunity.

    It is only one of the reasons to avenge the tragic death of the Chinese and to demonstrate China's national prestige.  What's more, the Spaniards committed a massacre and offended all the Chinese businessmen, and now they are sending troops with one mind.

    ? If you wait a few more years, Chinese maritime merchants will go to do business with Spain again, regardless of eating or selling.  When the time comes to send troops, many maritime merchants will still be dissatisfied, thinking that the emperor Zhao Han is delaying their business.

    Historically, Zheng Chenggong's general Lin Feng led an expedition to the Philippines.  It was a Chinese maritime merchant who leaked information about Lin Feng's army and also helped the Spaniards with ideas.

    At this time, Manila was in chaos, and the treasure-carrying galleon was blocked in the Americas, and there were no Han Chinese standing on the Spanish side. It was the time when the Spanish colonists were at their weakest!

    The governor of the Netherlands, Van Diemen, can see it clearly, and Zhao Han certainly understands it very well. The two want to join forces to kill Spain.

 Text 493【Connecting with the Native Allies】

    In China in the second year of the Republic of China in Datong, no large-scale war broke out.

    Li Zicheng thoroughly consolidated his territory, and made those warlord-like generals submissive—all those who disobeyed died.

    At the same time, Li Zicheng also recovered Ningxia Town and transferred his nephew Li Guo to Yinchuan to garrison.

    He also canonized Li Guo as the prince to stabilize the country.

    This operation is somewhat incomprehensible. After the prince canonization, shouldn't the prince be left in the capital?  What if the prince rebelled abroad, or the emperor died, and the prince came back too late?

    It can only be said that Li Zicheng is a bold man and thinks that there will be no troubles.

    ? On the side of Dorgon in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was only a small-scale friction with the Datong Army in Liaodong during the autumn harvest.  While stepping up farming and saving grain, they sent troops to suppress the Mongolian rebellion in northwestern Liaoning.

    Those Mongolian tribes did not rebel directly, but attacked each other due to lack of food.

    The Manchu Qing did not allow such a thing to happen, so they helped tribes with better relationships to fight.  The Mongolian tribes who were close at hand were robbed of their livestock and population by the Manchus, and the pastures were left to the tribes who were loyal to the Manchus.

    North Korea is waiting to be rejuvenated, but it is a pity that the monarchs and ministers have no intention of governing the country.

    The lord of the country, Li Hao, is still cleaning out old ministers and supporting middle-level families in large numbers.  As a result, the North Korean people were taxed more and more heavily, and were exploited so that a large number fled to the northern mountainous areas, and even fled to the border of Baozhou controlled by the Datong Army.

    On Zhao Han's side, he only does three things:

    First, send troops to attack the southwestern chieftain and swallow the corner areas of Sichuan and Guangxi.

    Second, store food.

    Third, immigration.

    Henan's registered population has recovered to 1.2 million, of which immigrants accounted for 300,000.  Shandong recovered to 1.8 million, and the number of immigrants was also 300,000.

    According to the data from the Ministry of Household Affairs at the end of last year, the population under Zhao Han’s administration is: more than 2 million in Jinling Prefecture (Nanjing and surrounding prefectures and counties), more than 5 million in Zhejiang, more than 6 million in Jiangsu, more than 6 million in Anhui, more than 8 million in Jiangxi, and more than 5 million in Hunan  , more than 4 million in Hubei, more than 4 million in Guangdong, more than 4 million in Fujian, more than 3 million in Guangxi, and more than 7 million in Sichuan.

    In addition to Henan, Shandong, and parts of Beizhili and Liaodong, the total population is 62 million.

    The above does not include children under the age of 12, because the ancient medical level is easy to die.

    Although there are still several provinces that have not been conquered, and although a large number of people have been lost in the north, the population of 62 million is already the official statistics of the Ming Dynasty at its peak.

    Jiangxi's population is still too large, mainly because Zhao Han was the first to occupy it, and there was no major famine.

    ?The three provinces of Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang suffered severe famines, resulting in a sharp drop in population.

    In addition, although Jiangxi has immigrated heavily, there are too many children over the age of 12.  After Zhao Han's rule, because the living conditions improved, the premature death rate was greatly reduced.  There are also a large number of children under the age of 10, which are the Jiangxi baby boom brought about by the Zhao Han uprising.

    Zhao Han has assigned tasks to the Ministry of Household Affairs. In the first three years of the Republic of China, the intensity of immigration from Jiangxi will be increased, and at least 200,000 people will be immigrated to Henan and Shandong each!

    Only continuous immigration can alleviate the population pressure in Jiangxi. In recent years, there have been a lot of newborns.

    In the third year of the beginning of the Republic of China, March in the new calendar.

    ?The new Luzon Expeditionary Force assembled and boarded the ship in Fuzhou.  The navy commander is Zheng Zhilong, and the army commander is Wang Hui.

    Wang Hui previously served as the brigade commander of the 14th Division. This time he was urgently transferred to Fujian to build the Luzon Expeditionary Force.  The matchlock guns in their hands were replaced by the Liaodong Dragoons, who had already replaced them with flintlock guns.

    More than 40 warships and more than 30 merchant ships sailed southward.

    ? They are in Zhuluo County (Chiayi), Taiwan, doing some fresh water replenishment.  The merchant ships that transported supplies also left some waiting here, which is equivalent to using Zhuluo County as a transit point.

    The Han people in Zhuluo County were very happy. They helped carry supplies, earned a lot of wages, and sold vegetables to the expeditionary army

    Manila, Philippines.

    Chen Liangxun had an urgent meeting with the Governor of the Philippines: "My lord, I have heard from fellow villagers in Fujian that the Chinese emperor has sent an army to kill them. We must quickly build city defenses, and please allow the Tang Chinese from Binon to enter the city. We will help the Governor to hold on to the city!"

    Governor Coquella said: "Binondo's Tang people can help defend the outer fort."

    Chen Liangxun immediately despaired. At this time, the Chinese were still not allowed to enter the city.

    Although the Filipino Chinese were massacred, there are still thousands of them alive.  It's just that these thousands of Chinese have already believed in Christianity, and they even dress in Western style.

    ? Traditional Chinese, living in Jiannei District, also known as Balian District in later generations.

    believe in religion??.  As long as you get rid of the red-haired ghosts, no one will bully you again. The people of Tang need your help.  We have brought many gifts and beg to meet your chief.  "

    The Ilok people are not a unified race. They form one tribe after another based on the blood clan as a unit, similar to a large number of villages and towns.

    However, they have similar customs and languages, and have superb terrace planting techniques.  Can make pottery, weave, smelt metal, and even simple writing was born.

    ? They belong to the Malay race, but their style is very different from that of the Malays, and they are more influenced by Chinese civilization.

    Fang Guike and Chen An soon met a tribal leader.

    "Dear guests, you are very welcome." The tribal leader is called Buffalo, who is over forty years old. "When the red-haired ghosts came to collect grain, there was news that the Tang people were massacred in Manila. I feel very sad about this."  , we prefer to do business with the Tang people."

    Chen An said: "The Emperor Tang has sent an army to conquer those red-haired ghosts. The Emperor Tang is kind and will not bully the Luzon people. This time, His Majesty the Emperor Tang brought gifts for the leader."

    Here is a gift, a bolt of gorgeous silk.

    The leader buffalo stroked the silk and said happily: "The great Tang emperor, the gods will bless him to live a hundred years."

    Chen An took the opportunity to say: "The army of the Tang people has countless warships, firecrackers and cannons. But we still need help."

    The buffalo immediately said: "As long as the red-haired ghost can be driven away, everything is worthwhile. I am willing to send thirty warriors to follow, and my son will go out with weapons himself."

    Fang Guike came to Luzon in advance, and he wanted to connect the tribes one by one.

    You send out thirty warriors, and he sends out fifty warriors. If you add up the odds and ends, there are tens of thousands of people.

 Body 494【Diplomatic Ancestor】

    Since the Netherlands captured Malacca, it has set its sights on the Philippines.

    Over the past few years, troops have been dispatched almost every year.  But they did not dare to attack Manila directly, but plundered Spanish merchant ships and Chinese merchant ships by the way, and then took Leng Zi to land and fight to remove Spain's outlying strongholds on the southern islands.

    In a narrow sense, Cebu Island is just a large island.

    In a broad sense, Cebu Island also includes the surrounding archipelago.

    Magellan forced the natives on the island to convert to Christianity, and then helped the natives fight, hoping to convert all the natives in the nearby islands to Christianity.  Then, Magellan was killed by hostile natives.

    The archipelago extends in all directions, and there are Spanish forts everywhere, and more than a dozen of them have been destroyed by the Netherlands in recent years.

    For this kind of Teddy behavior, the Spaniards are very troublesome, but their strength has declined too much.  Every time they encounter a Dutch attack, they can only shrink in the castle to defend, and sometimes the shore forts just give up.

    This time, the Netherlands sent 20 warships, not only carrying Dutch soldiers, but also carrying more than 3,000 indigenous people from Brunei and Sulu, and went to Cebu Island in a mighty manner.  After landing, they quickly pulled out the outer strongholds and surrounded Fort San Pedro near the port.

    However, only the natives fought with the Netherlands, and the sultans of Brunei and Sulu did not agree to assist the Netherlands in fighting.

    Even the Sultan of Brunei is more inclined to support Spain.

    When the Netherlands besieged Cebu Island, before the northern battle broke out, a Chinese fleet sailed towards the capital of Brunei.

    Zheng Guozhong disembarked from the boat on festivals, surrounded by a hundred soldiers to protect him, and under the leadership of Fujian maritime merchants, he went straight to Brunei King City.

    Abdul Jariru Abba, Sultan of Brunei, did not understand what was going on for a while.  Seeing that the Chinese fleet seemed to be very powerful, he sent ministers to meet with the envoys to find out what the Chinese were here for.

    After half a day, Minister Su Laiwen rushed into the palace: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of China wants to canonize you as King Boni."

    Sultan Abba felt that it was nonsense: "I am the king, why should I be canonized by the Chinese emperor?"

    Minister Su Laiwen explained: "Your Majesty, your ancestors are Chinese, and Brunei used to be called Boni Kingdom. The Chinese envoy said that your ancestor's tomb is in Nanjing, and he has sent someone to repair it. If  if……"

    "What if?" asked Abba Sultan.

    Su Laiwen bit the bullet and replied: "The Chinese envoy said that if your majesty does not recognize their ancestors, the Huang family should recognize them. At that time, they can only canonize the Huang family as kings of Boni. If the Huang family does not recognize their ancestors, then choose whatever you like."  Choose a person surnamed Huang, and adopt him to the royal family of Boni as the king."

    "He is a threat!" Abba Sultan was furious.

    The Brunei royal family is half of Chinese descent and the other half of Arab descent.

    Hundreds of years later, the flag of Brunei has two slashes, which represent the two princes in history, one of which is Huang Senping.

    Huang Senping was the commander of Yunnan Tengchong Guard under Zhu Yuanzhang, and he built the stone city of Tengchong.  Even the name "Sen Ping" was bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang because he defeated Japanese pirates at Sen Ping Beach.

    After arriving in Kalimantan, Huang Senping helped King Boni successfully resist the invasion of the Sulu and Malays.  The king married his daughter to Huang Senping as his concubine, and the king's younger brother married Huang Senping's younger sister. The two families jointly rule Boni Kingdom, but they have their own territories.

    After the king's death, Huang Senping and the king's brother served as regents.

    After the king's elder brother died, a palace coup broke out, and Huang Senping supported a prince to succeed to the throne.

    In his later years, Huang Senping lost his leaves and returned to his roots, and died of illness when he arrived in Nanjing.  He left three last words: first, to assign his territory in Boni Kingdom to the territory of Ming Dynasty;  He was buried in Daming.

    Huang Senping's daughter, Huang Guigu, married King Aheman of Boni.  After Ahman's death, Huang Guigu became the Queen of Boni.

    Daughter of Aunt Huang Gui, succeeded as the second queen.  The family was recruited from Ali, a businessman from Arabia. After the death of the queen, Ali became the king, and it has been passed down hereditaryly since then, even hundreds of years later.

    The Brunei Sultan Abba in front of him has the blood of Huang Senping flowing through his body.

    As for the Huang family, they still live in Brunei and have their own territory.  But in the mid-Ming Dynasty, the Huang family had withdrawn from Brunei's political arena, and became lords with peace of mind, farming and doing business to earn a small amount of money.

    Abba certainly knows who his ancestors are, because the royal blood has never been broken, and the genealogy of the past dynasties is clearly recorded.

    His distant ancestor was an Arab businessman, and his grandmother was a daughter of the Huang family.??, requesting the canonization of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and wanted to use the Qing Dynasty to send troops to resist Spanish encroachment.

    After eating and drinking for several days, Zheng Guozhong suddenly couldn't sit still, and left with one sentence: "If you don't want to return, you are the enemy by the way. Wait for the emperor of Datong and the Netherlands to attack together!"

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The Chinese fleet and the Brunei fleet fired directly at Sulu King City after leaving the port.

    Fire a symbolic shot, just hit a few shots and leave.

    The Sultan of Sulu was shocked, and sent a fast boat to catch up with the Chinese fleet. He stood on the boat and approached and shouted: "My lord is willing to submit, my lord is willing to submit!"

    The aborigines in northern Luzon were instigated by China, Brunei and Sulu were also instigated, and the Netherlands led the aborigines to besiege Cebu Island After a series of operations, the Spaniards were completely surrounded, but the governor was powerless to resist, even the fleet.  Don't dare to send out casually

 Text 495 [Combined Forces in Manila Bay]

    A history of colonization is a history of war.

    Spain occupied Manila, and the Netherlands occupied Batavia, all of which were played time and time again.

    From the early years of Wanli to Chongzhen's accession to the throne, not only the aborigines in northern Luzon rose up to resist, but also the aborigines in the southern Philippine Islands also broke out in uprising in full swing.  The Filipino Chinese participated in almost the whole process, because their tax payable was much higher than that of the local aborigines!

    Every time an uprising is faced, if the scale is too large, Spain's response is to retreat to Manila for defense.

    Try to delay the time until the internal conflicts among the insurgents are aroused, and during this period, they also actively send envoys to provoke.  Anyway, the origin of the rebel army is varied, and opportunities will definitely be found, and there will definitely be betrayers.  Even the leaders of the rebel army turned against each other directly, because there were a lot of leaders.

    ? When the insurgents fought or withdrew, Spain took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, bloody suppression and massacre of the rebels.

    It was the same this time. The Governor of the Philippines stood still and even took back the fleet, determined to defend the city of Manila.

    "Master, a letter from the Dutchman!"

    Wang Hui led troops to successfully capture Turtle Shell City, and the navy led by Zheng Zhilong also moved over and used it as a military base.

    Fuzhou, Zhuluo (Taiwan), Hawksbill (Luzon), the three major logistics centers are connected in a line, and a large number of maritime merchants are transferring materials to prepare for the next long-term siege.

    Hawksbill City used to be the royal city of a small Tubang. It had been abandoned for more than a hundred years, and later turned into a Chinese town, which was slaughtered by the Philippines twice.

    Zheng Zhilong opened the letter, but it was from Peter, the Dutch commander.

    "How?" Wang Hui asked.

    Zheng Zhilong handed over the letter: "The Netherlands is attacking Cebu. There are only about 100 Spanish defenders in the castle, but there are at least 2,000 indigenous soldiers assisting in the defense. Many indigenous people on Cebu Island are also resisting Spain, about 800 or so.  The Kirishima natives helped Holland fight the war."

    Wang Hui laughed and said, "It's just that we are honest and dispatched 3,500 soldiers. Spain and the Netherlands have only a few hundred soldiers, but they are pulling tens of thousands of natives to fight."

    "Has the area around Tortoiseshell City been cleaned up?" Zheng Zhilong asked.

    Wang Hui replied: "The aborigines who participated in the massacre of the Han people have been completely wiped out. All men, women, and children were killed. A total of more than 1,300 people were killed."

    The Datong army killed all men, women, old and children around Tortoiseshell City, don't you think it's too cruel?

    A few months ago, even aboriginal children carried sticks and followed their elders to massacre Chinese.  The same is true for old people and women. There are almost no innocent people, and those who can walk are murderers!

    Wang Hui added: "The aborigines in the mountains are all tribes close to the Chinese. I heard from those sea merchants that the pirate Lin Feng hid in the mountains after his defeat and was accepted by the aborigines in the mountains. Many Fujian remnants  , married and had children with the aborigines in the mountains, and taught the headhunters in the mountains to farm and weave. This time, hundreds of Han people fled into the mountains and were protected by the headhunters. I have sent troops to pick them up from the mountains.”

    Zheng Zhilong couldn't help sighing: "The headhunters who drink blood and kill for pleasure are actually close to the Han people, and even protect the Han people. Who will believe this?"

    Two days later, Gui Ke, the missionary official of the expeditionary force, brought the surviving Han Chinese and headhunters to Hawksbill City.

    There are only more than 300 surviving Han people here, all of them are dressed in rags, and some even wear aboriginal fur clothes.  When they saw Zheng Zhilong and Wang Hui, they immediately knelt down collectively, and then wailed and begged for revenge.

    Fang Guike replied: "Marshal Zheng, General Wang, and the Han people who hid in the mountains successfully brought back 317 people. There are also 285 indigenous warriors who are willing to fight with us."

    Wang Hui nodded and smiled: "Thank you."

    Fang Guike said: "Some headhunters in the mountains are also reasonable. For example, the headhunters here are very good. As long as the headhunters are willing to communicate, I think they can be educated, and we can't just treat them as savages. This is the case in Luzon, and in Taiwan.  The same is true, we should try to educate those headhunters."

    "This matter, you should report to His Majesty." Wang Hui was noncommittal.

    Zheng Zhilong said: "Everything is ready, let's march to Manila."

    There are Spanish villages and towns along the coast, but the Datong Army is too lazy to attack them.

    In these Spanish villages and towns, the number of Spaniards is actually very small.  Just some planters, the chiefs of the villages and towns must be missionaries, and every missionary must be a big landowner!

    Spain's Philippine colony is also dubbed the "Church Empire".

    There are no local officials, a missionary manages a piece.  And ManilaHow did you win the 3500 Datong army?

    Peter took out a pen and paper on the spot, wrote a letter to the governor of Batavia, and then sent someone back by boat immediately.  The content is very simple: the Dutch Army cannot fight the Chinese Army.  If you want to rob Manila, you must block it with warships for a long time.

    In fact, Governor Batavia also has its own bottom line for negotiations.

    That is, the entire island of Luzon was given to China, and the Netherlands occupied the southern islands of the Philippines: Mindanao, Cebu, etc.

    As long as the Netherlands occupies those islands, it is tantamount to controlling the northern spice route and the necessary place from America to Southeast Asia.

    On the eighth day of trenching, a warship came from the south.

    "Sir, the Spanish fleet is in the south and attacked our fleet and army in Cebu Island! Four warships have been lost, and the armyhas collapsed!"

    It doesn't matter if the army collapses, anyway, only 50 people are left, and the lives of thousands of native soldiers are none of the business of the Dutch colonists?

    It is the loss of four warships, which makes the Dutch very distressed.

    When the Spanish fleet came in mighty force, both Zheng Zhilong and Peter understood what was going on.

    The Pacific route has resumed, and the Spanish galleons in America are back!

    There are a total of six Spanish galleons, with the largest displacement of 1,200 tons and the smallest displacement of 500 tons.  In addition, there are 16 small warships and armed merchant ships.

    A naval battle is about to break out, and a 500-ton warship can deal with it, but a larger warship is completely blind.

    Whether it is the Dutch Navy or the Chinese Navy, there is nothing they can do about this kind of galleon!  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/680917890.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/680917890.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Body 496【Battle of Manila】

    The Manila galleon is actually a Spanish galleon.

    Seventy years ago, during the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, Spain opened the route from America to East Asia.

    Silk and porcelain from China, cotton cloth and precious stones from India were transported to Manila by merchants from various countries, and sold directly to the Americas by galleons.  Silver, cocoa, and wool from the Americas were transported to Manila by galleons and exchanged for various Asian goods.

    Zhang Juzheng's Ming tax reform would have been absolutely impossible to succeed without the American silver brought in by galleons.  In other words, the content of the reform is different, and silver cannot become the mainstream currency in China.

    At the same time, the Manila galleon trade directly crushed the American raw silk industry!

    During the Zhengde and Jiajing years, Spain had already developed the silk weaving industry in America.  After Chinese raw silk was transported there, American raw silk was quickly eliminated because Chinese raw silk was of high quality and low price.

    Today, the market share of the American silk industry has been absolutely monopolized by Chinese raw silk.

    ?Only one silk weaving factory in Mexico employs 14,000 workers, and all the raw materials are raw silk from China.  These American silks will be shipped to Europe for sale, and the price is lower than that of Chinese silk, and they are very popular among middle- and lower-class nobles and middle-class businessmen.

    It can be understood that Chinese silk is a foreign product, while American silk is a domestic product, and domestic products are definitely not as good as foreign products.

    Due to the popularity of Chinese goods, Spanish products were crowded out in the Americas. King Philip II of Spain ordered to restrict the trade of galleons fifty years ago.  It is stipulated that there should be no more than two galleons to Mexico every year, and the cargo capacity of each ship should not exceed 300 tons.

    This restriction was obviously taken advantage of, and instead became a means for colonial officials to make money.

    ?The governor of New Spain is even more powerful. Forty years ago, he ordered the prohibition of silkworm farming and silk weaving in Mexico. Mexican silk factories can only use raw silk from China!

    Also fifty years ago, the cotton cloth produced in China had already destroyed the Philippine cotton textile industry.

    Therefore, the Governor of the Philippines ordered that the aborigines be prohibited from buying Chinese clothing materials.  Two years after the ban was issued, the Philippine governor was killed by Chinese mercenaries.

    The Spanish Filipino colonists had extremely complicated attitudes towards the Chinese.

    On the positive side, they need the Chinese to trade, the Chinese to build the city, and the Chinese to keep the city running.

    On the negative side, they hate dumping by Chinese businessmen, and they hate Chinese businessmen destroying industries in the Philippines and Mexico.

    By the way, the ban on cotton cloth in China has been maintained to this day.

    ?Chinese cotton cloth and silk are not allowed to be sold to native Filipinos, but are only allowed to be sold to official trading posts in the Philippines.  This caused the profits of Chinese maritime merchants to be damaged. Even without this massacre, as long as Zhao Han is willing to send troops, there must be merchants helping the emperor to fight the war!

    In the waters west of Manila, a large-scale naval battle kicked off.

    Six Spanish galleons, 16 small warships, and nearly 100 warships from China, the Netherlands, Brunei, and Sulu.

    Brunei and Sulu are all old-fashioned galleys, and the tonnage is very small, which can be ignored directly.

    The Dutch navy quickly circled to the west, and the Chinese navy deployed formations to the east and north. The fleets of the two countries attempted to surround the Spanish fleet on three sides.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Before the siege was completed, both sides began shelling.

    In the 18th minute of the battle, a Chinese warship was severely damaged and tried to leave the battlefield very slowly.

    In the 32nd minute, a Spanish warship was hit by several times its own firepower. The bow of the ship was directly battered, and even the captain was crushed by shells.

    "Stop bombarding, join the gang, and deal with the red-haired ghost's boat first!"

    When the second Chinese warship suffered heavy damage, Zheng Zhilong asked the adjutant to play the semaphore.  The Chinese navy's warships are too fragile, and it is difficult to win in artillery battles. It is more cost-effective to directly engage in side-to-side battles.

    The Dutch Navy also likes to take on board, especially when facing Spain.

    The Chinese and Dutch coalition forces rushed up almost at the same time.

    The Spanish fleet fought and ran, not letting itself be surrounded, and avoiding side-to-side battles with the enemy.

    Both sides are chasing after each other, from Manila Bay to Mindoro Island.

    Mindoro, the Spanish literal translation is "gold mine", Song and Ming called it "Mayi country".

    "Throw the grapple!"

    Hong Xu, Vice Admiral of the Shanghai Navy, shouted excitedly while holding the binoculars.  Due to the interception of the Dutch, he finally caught up with a Spanish warship.

    Hong Xu is a member of Shibazhi, an old pirate who roams the South China Sea.  In the past few years, in addition to transporting food, I have been fishing, and I have occasionally led the fleet to cruise, and I have been suffocated for a long time.superior.

    When the second Datong army climbed up, Zhang Hai had been injured in three places all over his body, and he still stood firm on the ship's side to stop the enemy.

    "kill!"

    The third Datong sailor boarded the ship. Zhang Hai had been injured in five places, and was still fighting there bloody.

    The fourth Datong soldier boarded the boat. Zhang Hai lost his strength and collapsed.

    The Dutch are also doing the same, and the Dutch flagship is eyeing a 700-ton galleon.  Compared with the Dutch army, the Dutch navy is not afraid of death, and climbs repeatedly with bullets.

    It's a pity that there are too few Dutch people, and they can't afford to die.

    Several Dutch warships surrounded the port, and after paying hundreds of casualties, they decisively chose to give up.

    The Chinese navy values ??ships, and it doesn't matter if hundreds or thousands of soldiers are killed if they can snatch the galleons.

    There are only so many Dutch sailors in the Far East, and one death is one less.

    Hundreds of naval casualties have seriously damaged the vitality of the Netherlands, and it is a hundred times more distressing than the death of a thousand troops.  Because the Dutch army can be recruited casually in the colonies, but the navy often has to be replenished from Europe.

    Seeing that the galleon was surrounded but let go by the Dutch, Zheng Zhilong put down the binoculars and cursed: "These red-haired ghosts really don't know how to fight, they are all fucking idiots!"

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The big guy with a displacement of 1,200 tons is still showing off, and another Chinese warship is crumbling.

    More than 400 Chinese sailors who besieged the galleon have been killed one after another.  The Dutch gave up directly, and the Chinese navy was still desperately fighting. It is very likely that thousands of deaths would not be able to seize the ship.

    At the same time, the commander of the Spanish navy was also frightened. He was afraid that his soldiers would be exhausted and that the musketeers would run out of ammunition.

    When it was getting dark, the Dutch navy was the first to withdraw from the siege, and Zheng Zhilong had no choice but to withdraw from the siege.

    In a naval battle, 2 Spanish small warships were sunk, 11 were captured, and 1 500-ton Spanish galleon was captured.  Seventeen warships of the Datong Navy were severely damaged, and five warships were sunk.  Four warships of the Dutch Navy were severely damaged, and no ships were sunk.

    The Chinese navy suffered heavy casualties, with more than 1,300 people killed, seriously injured, or missing.

    Dutch Navy, killed, seriously injured, missing more than 200 people.

    Of the six Spanish galleons, only the smallest one was captured by the Chinese navy, and all the rest went away.

    If the usual style of play is followed, such a heavy loss, the Netherlands will directly choose to withdraw.

    However, China will not withdraw!  For the fastest update and error-free novel reading, please visit mobile phone: Recommend: .recommend

 Body 497【Landing in Manila】

    After half a month, the remaining Spanish galleons and small warships came out of Manila Bay again after some repairs.

    The Chinese and Dutch fleets immediately went to surround them, and the Spanish fleet slipped away, leading them to Mindoro again.  Then, the Spanish fleet sailed southeast without even setting up gun positions.

    Wan Bangyan and other admirals from the Datong Army were planning to pursue with all their strength, but they found that Zheng Zhilong's flagship had issued a return flag order.

    At the same time, the Dutch flagship also ordered no further pursuit.

    Wan Bangyan suddenly realized that the southeast belongs to the Longtan and Tiger's Den, and he may suffer huge losses if he chases it in.

    Spain has indeed declined, but the Philippines has been operating for nearly a hundred years, and its foundation is so strong that China and the Netherlands can't compare it.

    The islands in the southern Philippines are intricate, with Spanish beacon towers everywhere and Spanish coastal defense guns everywhere.  Before the Netherlands attacked the Spanish strongholds, they only dared to attack Cebu Island and Zamboanga, and did not dare to go deep into the southern archipelago.

    After entering, it is very likely that you will not be able to get out!

    Therefore, the Spanish fleet can hide in the southern archipelago calmly, and come out whenever it wants.  However, the Chinese and Dutch fleets passed by, revealing their whereabouts every minute, and Spain has a complete early warning system there.

    Zheng Zhilong looked at the enemy ship going away, and couldn't help sneering: "You guys are too young to try to seduce me!"

    The Chinese and Dutch fleets headed back to Manila. Not long after, the Spanish warships caught up again.  As soon as Zheng Zhilong set up his formation to meet the attack, the Spanish warship turned its sails and fled southeast again in a circle.

    "Don't chase him, let him go!" Zheng Zhilong ordered.

    The Chinese fleet did not pursue it, and the Dutch fleet naturally did not pursue it. The Spaniard's trick to lure the enemy has long been seen through.

    In this regard, the fleets of China and the two countries blocked Manila, while the Spanish fleet was stationed in Mindoro, and the two sides faced off across a sea area of ??80 kilometers.

    The Spanish castle on Corregidor Island is still under siege by the Chinese and Dutch armies.

    It must be removed here before we can attack the city of Manila.  Because attacking Manila is not a matter of overnight, if you want to siege for a long time, you must pull out the nails in the throat.

    The "z" shaped trench was excavated until the 18th day, and finally it was near the castle.

    The accompanying sea merchant Chen An said: "General Wang, if the war drags on for another month, it will be impossible to fight. Then it will be the rainy season, and it will rain every day. If you want to attack Manila, you should send troops in autumn, not in spring."

    Wang Hui was not discouraged, and said: "When the rainy season comes, build a house to live in, and continue to attack the city until autumn!"

    There is no way to send troops in autumn, and there will be multiple variables for one more day. By then, Spain will have passed its weakest time.

    Chen An sighed: "Prepare more doctors and medicinal materials."

    ?The hot and humid weather has caused nearly a hundred fellow troops to fall ill.  The soldiers of the Luzon Expeditionary Army were officers drawn from the regular army, and all the soldiers came from Fujian and Guangdong provinces.

    But the soldiers from Fujian and Guangdong couldn't handle the weather in the Philippines, because they had to dig trenches every day.

    The Spanish defenders in the castle, watching the Chinese soldiers dig trenches, digging over bit by bit, have fallen into despair at the moment.

    After approaching the castle, the artillery in the city was completely useless, and they could only rely on matchlock guns for defense.

    The slope of the outer mound has also been dug through by the Datong Army, and all the Spanish defenders near the mound withdrew into the castle.  They dare not fight on the periphery, because the number is too small, and they will be piled up to death by the Datong army digging in the tunnel.

    With the staff hitting this point, Corregidor Island has basically been taken, so there is no need to spend too much force.

    While continuing to dig the tunnel, while taking time to rest, Wang Hui ordered two-thirds of the troops to go to Manila port for landing operations.

    As for the castle on the island, dig a tunnel directly to bury the explosives.

    The method of attacking a city with explosives is difficult to deal with a strong city in China, but it can deal with this kind of bastion.  The foundation of the bastion is not deep, and the walls are not thick, which is no different from the walls of a small county town.

    "Boom!"

    On the 24th day of the siege of Corregidor Island, there was a loud noise on the island, and a wall of the castle was directly blown down.

    "kill!"

    Tie Hong rushed out of the trench with a wrought iron rod, and when the Spanish defenders were blown into oblivion, he led his troops to break in through the huge gap.

    This black buddy's qualifications are very old. If he were replaced by a Han Chinese, he would probably have reached the rank of brigade commander.  But after all, this world is based on face. Although he fought bravely and worked hard to read and write, but because of his black status, he could only serve as the deputy to the main general Wang Hui.

    The Spanish defenders in other areas, after the initial confusion, were quicklyThe Spaniards couldn't keep it.  As long as you surrender, the previous crimes will no longer be pursued.  If you dare to resist, kill them all!  "

    There were thousands of Pampanga native soldiers, and their families also withdrew into the city.

    Hearing Chen Liangxun's words, some people's hearts were moved immediately, but more soldiers didn't believe it, because they killed the Chinese the most ruthlessly.

    Although the Spanish soldiers withdrew into the castle, a few officers remained on the walls.

    A Spanish military officer shouted: "It will be the rainy season in one month. As long as you persist for one month, the Chinese army will definitely withdraw. If you surrender, you will be retaliated by the Chinese, and you will be killed at that time!"

    These words are very effective.

    Yes, the rainy season will be in one month. Do the Chinese dare to continue the siege?

    The morale of Pangbangya's native soldiers was immediately high, and some soldiers even shot arrows at Chen Liangxun.

    Chen Liangxun fled back in embarrassment, crying: "General, they are stubborn, and they really can't persuade them to surrender."

    "Trash, drag it down and lock it up!" Wang Hui said contemptuously.  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/680709244.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/680709244.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

    "General, a total of 284 people had headache and fever yesterday, and more than 30 people were added this morning."

    "All replaced and rested to see a doctor!"

    Malaria broke out in the Luzon Expeditionary Army. Fortunately, there were military doctors, and most of them were military doctors from the Guangxi Datong Army.

    At present, the military mainly uses two kinds of medicines to treat malaria: Luzon fruit and poppy shell.

    Luzon fruit is called Jieredou in Guangxi, the eldest son of Jinma in Yunnan, and Maqian in Qiongzhou, Hainan Island.

    Of course Luzon also has it!

    This drug can effectively treat the symptoms of malaria in the early stage, but the therapeutic effect will be greatly reduced in the fever period and sweating period.

    The military doctors from Guangxi are very experienced in this, so they suggested to the generals leading the troops: Once the soldiers feel tired, have a headache, or have a low fever, they should immediately take the medicine prepared from Luzon fruit.  There must be no delay, and the danger will be multiplied by one more day!

    Peter, the commander of the Dutch Army, found Wang Hui anxiously: "Dear General, I heard that Chinese doctors are good at treating malaria. Can you also help Dutch soldiers to see a doctor?"

    "Of course." Wang Hui did not refuse the friendly army's request for help.

    The magic medicine "Cinchona Tree" for treating malaria was discovered in South America six years ago.  But it has not spread yet, and it will take at least another ten years before it will be sold as a medicinal material to Southeast Asia.

    And the Dutch planted cinchona trees in Java, which was two hundred years later.

    Peter did not leave immediately, but sat down and chatted with Wang Hui: "The rainy season is coming soon. In such a short period of time, at most the city of Manila can be breached. It is impossible to capture the Spanish castle in the city. Do you want to continue fighting?"

    "Of course, this is an established combat mission." Wang Hui said.

    But Peter said: "The captured walls, castles, and forts can all be demolished. During the rainy season, the Spaniards cannot organize repairs. After the rainy season, we will send troops again. There is no need to stay in Manila for consumption."

    Wang Hui said: "Your country can withdraw its troops, but the Datong Army will never withdraw."

    Peter suddenly had nothing to say.

    In the eyes of these Dutchmen, sinking and capturing so many Spanish warships, and dismantling some Spanish outlying strongholds, such results are enough to be called a success.  Spain, which is rapidly declining, cannot recover its losses for several years, while the Netherlands can quickly replenish soldiers and warships. It would be better to continue to fight in the second half of the year or next year.

    To put it bluntly, it is to grind Spain to death at sunset.

    With a fleet and a large number of indigenous servants, if they stay in Manila to survive the rainy season, how much money and food will be consumed!

    This is the Dutch East India Company that must be accountable to its shareholders, not the real Dutch government.

    Historically, when they learned that Zheng Chenggong was going to recover Taiwan, they couldn't bear to send more than a dozen ships to station for half a year.  In order to reduce the consumption of the garrison, 80% of the fleet was withdrawn, and Zheng Chenggong seized the opportunity to recover Taiwan in one fell swoop.  How can the Dutch, who are so preoccupied, waste a few months of rainy season in Manila?

    At this moment, Batavia has fallen into a quarrel.

    "The troops cannot be withdrawn!"

    Governor Van Diemen slapped the table and roared: "Once we withdraw, we will give Spain a chance to breathe. Moreover, the Chinese army is likely to occupy Manila after the rainy season before we send troops. At that time, how to negotiate with the Chinese? Everything  It will all turn into begging for alms!"

    Director-General Huis said: "Your Excellency, although we have achieved brilliant results this time, we have also paid a huge price. The rainy season will last for several months, leaving the fleet and army in Manila, and we have to pay for thousands of indigenous soldiers.  How much consumption would it take to provide food? We have to withdraw our troops now and send them out after the rainy season is over. This is the most cost-effective deal.”

    Van Diemen said angrily: "Sir, this is war. War! Do you understand? This is not business!"

    Huis said: "War is a business, and everything is for profit. Moreover, if you want to spend the rainy season in Manila, you must organize a fleet to transport food. Is there still time?"

    "Of course it's too late. If it weren't for your objection, the food would have been shipped to Manila long ago!"

    Van Diemen glared at the members of the council: "I want to exercise the power of the governor, and I want to exercise the power of the commander-in-chief of the navy. I will not accept any objections from you. You can impeach me, but you must wait until the seventeen members of the headquarters meeting  recognition!"

    The councilors looked at the angry Van Diemen, and they didn't dare to object anymore.

    A system is a system, and authority is authority. Van Diemen has enough authority in Batavia,??I want to go back and have a look, but I keep procrastinating for fear that I won’t be able to go back.  "

    "Please!" Wang Hui cupped his hands.

    "They are all soldiers of the Datong Army, needless to say those." Tie Hong grinned.

    Tie Hong can probably guess what his superiors are thinking. Many people in the army ignore him, and it is difficult to continue his promotion if he stays in the country.  This time when he was transferred to Luzon to fight, Wang Hui came here to be gilded, but he was "exiled". He estimated that he would lead troops to station in Luzon for a long time.

    Another day passed, and it rained heavily.

    The defenders are all hiding in the house, and the Dutch soldiers are also in the tents. No one wants to fight in the tropical rainy season. If you get sick, it is no joke.

    "Brothers, finish this bowl!"

    Two thousand soldiers picked up pottery bowls and drank salted water instead of wine.

    ? In the tropical rainy season with high heat and high humidity, dehydration and desalination are easy even if it does not rain, and it is easier to get caught in the rain for a long time.  Although they don't understand the principle, Chinese medicine practitioners in the south know that drinking salt water can replenish physical strength.

    After drinking a bowl of boiled salt water, the Datong army, naked and only in leather armor, carried a ladder and rushed towards the city wall in the rain.

    The rain was so heavy that people couldn't open their eyes and even affected the visibility ahead.

    Not to mention the Spanish army and Pampanga soldiers defending the city, even the Dutch friendly army stationed next door did not know that the Chinese army had fought out in the rain.

    If it were the Dutch, they would not dare to play like this, for fear that all the soldiers would fall ill.

 Text 499 [Typhoon Operation]

    In the rainy season in the tropics, there may be several rains in one day, and it may be several days in one rain.

    It has been raining for the past few days, intermittently, and the amount of rain is not very large. It will stop in about one or two hours, or three or four hours.

    Today's rain is particularly heavy, so the Datong Army chose to attack.

    How big is it?

    It's like God pouring water down with a bucket.

    Pampanga people, the official translation of later generations is Pampanga people.  They are aboriginals living around Manila and once rebelled against Spain, but they have been completely tamed, at least the ones around the city have been tamed.

    They are the most loyal lackeys of the Spanish colonists!

    Marbala's grandfather was killed by the Spaniards.  Marbala's father was a Spanish slave.  And Marbala himself is a Spanish mercenary.

    The fort on the city wall was originally built with a shack to protect it from the rain, but today's rain is so heavy that the shack can't prevent it at all.

    The Spanish gunners had withdrawn, taking shelter in houses from the rain.

    Mabala and other Pampanga soldiers were placed on defense in the fort shack, and by the way, they scooped out the rainwater that could not be drained out of the shack.  He scooped it several times, and the more he scooped more, he could only give up in the end, and simply lay down on the barrel to rest.

    A gust of wind blew, and the top of the shack was blown off.

    Mabala immediately left with his bow and arrows. Based on his half-life experience, he felt that this was the prelude to a typhoon.

    The doors and windows in the city are tightly closed, and even the rooms on the upper floors of Manila, which are used to observe the enemy's situation, are firmly closed.  Even, nail the windows to prevent them from being blown away by the typhoon.

    On the Dutch friendly side, the doors and windows were also closed tightly, and they were beaten with hammers. Commander Peter even made hot tea.

    Two thousand soldiers of the Datong Expeditionary Army charged forward carrying simple ladders.

    There was already accumulated water on the ground that could not be drained. They waded through the accumulated water that submerged their ankles, and braved the violent wind and rain to move forward with difficulty.  The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and some soldiers were blown down by the strong wind as they walked, and it took a lot of effort to get up and stand still.

    They helped each other to the bottom of the city, and with difficulty put the ladder on the city wall.

    More than a dozen people must work together, otherwise the ladder will be blown away.  The soldiers of the Datong Army at the bottom of the ladder hugged the ladder tightly, and then climbed up one by one.

    Tie Hong only climbed one meter high, and felt that he was about to be blown away by the wind.

    He grabbed the ladder with both hands, and he had to use all his strength every time he climbed a little bit.

    Not far from him, a soldier lost his grip, fell from the ladder, and was blown more than one meter away when he landed.  And before he could stand up completely, he was blown by the wind and rolled over again, rolling several meters before stopping the momentum.

    Fortunately, the city wall of Manila is not high, and it took less than five minutes for Tie Hong to grit his teeth and climb up.

    More and more soldiers ascended the city, Tie Hong divided them into two groups.

    A group rushed into the surrounding rooms with him to kill people, and a group opened the city gate to welcome friendly troops in.

    The doors and windows of the city tower were all closed. Tie Hong untied the wrought iron rod, grabbed the wall with one hand to stabilize his figure, and knocked on the door with the iron rod in the other hand.

    The Spanish commander and gunner inside were completely unaware of the enemy's arrival, and thought it was a friendly army sending a message, so they swore and took the initiative to open the door.

    The moment the door was opened, Tie Hong rushed in, and the strong wind howled in from the door.

    "Tang people?"

    The Spanish commander's eyes were wide open, and just as he drew out his saber, two of the surrounding soldiers had been knocked to death.

    This guy rushed forward with his saber in hand, raised his hand to stab the knife out, and the wrought iron rod had already come over.  A stick hit him in the chest, he was stabbed directly, and then he was kicked in the abdomen, and he flew back immediately.

    Phew!

    With one blow of the stick, the head of the Spanish commander exploded.

    ?Because the attack was too sudden, only one Datong soldier was injured when the city tower was captured here.  On the contrary, there were more injuries when climbing the wall, all of which were blown off by the wind, and some unlucky ones even had their legs broken.

    After occupying the front tower, the city gate was also opened, and the Datong soldiers braved the wind and rain to fight towards the Pampanga barracks.

    ?The wind and rain blow, they don’t argue about things, and they have never been to the city, so they can only follow the route pointed out by the religious Chinese.

    Although the Chinese cannot settle in the city, they can work in the city, otherwise the whole city cannot function.  The Datong soldiers silently recited the words "forward" and "right", and when they reached the Pampangya barracks, nearly half of them had already dispersed, leaving only more than 1,200 people to follow Tiehong.

    "kill!"

    The sound of shouting and killing came out of his mouth, but was covered by the sound of wind and rain in an instant.

    such bad weather,??It is necessary to put Chinese missionaries under house arrest, not to mention that the Datong Army has now entered the city.

    Luo Wenzao wanted to defend himself, saying that he would help defend the church.

    But before he could finish his sentence, the clubs of the Spanish civilians came to him.

    The crucifix stands in the church hall. Under the gaze of Jesus, Luo Wenzao was beaten to death by Spanish civilians.

    Archbishop Miguel hid beside him in fright, drew a cross on his chest and said, "Poor man, may you ascend to heaven, and the Lord will bless you."

    The weather is too humid, even if it is properly kept, the gunpowder on both sides will be damp.

    Even the surviving Pampanga soldiers found it difficult to fight with their bows and arrows, because the power of the bowstring became very pitiful when it was damp.

    It completely turned into a cold-weapon battle. Thousands of Datong troops broke into the church, and Archbishop Miguel had no time to escape into the castle.

    "The Lord will punish these heretics!"

    Miguel pointed at the Datong Army, hissing and cracking curses.

    None of the missionaries in the Philippines was innocent.  The Archbishop of Manila is the only existence other than the governor. He has participated in the Tu Hua incident every time, and even played a role in fueling the flames.

    The missionaries distributed in the villages and towns must be the largest local landlords and the local supreme rulers.

    When the Spanish civilians were 80% killed, Miguel raised his scepter and rushed over.

    As soon as he got close, he was chopped down with a knife.

    Churches, schools, hospitals have been occupied one after another, leaving only the castle garrisoned by the governor.  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/680491483.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/680491483.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Text 500 [surrounded until death]

    "What? The Chinese have already attacked the city!" Peter couldn't believe it.

    "Yes, they have already entered the city."

    Peter rode to the Datong army camp and found that it was empty, only a few logistics personnel were left guarding the supplies.

    Even the indigenous warriors brought by the Datong Army have already entered the city.  Fortunately, there are these indigenous allies, otherwise it would be difficult to quickly occupy such a huge city, after all, they would have to divide their troops to fight.

    As for the discipline of the native soldiers, it can only be said that they should be restrained as much as possible.

    Anyway, the city is full of chopsticksmen who slaughtered Chinese, and they are also villains who have long exploited and oppressed Chinese and indigenous people.  The indigenous warriors are willing to fight with them. One is that the Chinese army gives gifts, the other is that the Chinese army provides food, and the third is that these aboriginals want to take revenge.

    Blindly suppressing is not the answer, the native soldiers must be vented, burning, killing and looting is a normal behavior.

    Peter was like a dream. He huddled in the barracks to avoid the typhoon, and then the city of Manila was captured by friendly forces.

    What the hell?

    "Follow me into town!"

    Peter led the Dutch army and native soldiers and ran towards the city frantically.  They were also going to plunder the city. If they didn't run faster, the property of the Spaniards in the city would be robbed by the natives brought by the Datong army.

    The city has been completely in chaos, and the streets that have not yet retreated are full of water, and corpses can be seen everywhere.

    Wang Hui only assigned tasks to the indigenous warriors and ordered which areas to occupy, regardless of what they would do after they occupied them.  There are even headhunters who cut off the heads of Spaniards as trophies. It is estimated that they will take them back to make decorations, or as dowries to marry their favorite women.

    Peter waded through the stagnant water to search everywhere, and found that all parts of the city were occupied, and he couldn't find a place to rob.

    So, the native soldiers brought by China and the native soldiers brought by the Netherlands fought over the goods.  A large-scale fighting broke out between the two sides, involving more and more native soldiers, and eventually caused more than 2,000 casualties-this is the biggest loss for the Chinese and Dutch armies since the war began!

    But it doesn't matter, the dead are all native soldiers, and they will settle the dispute by themselves.

    "Boom!"

    The weather was only sunny for half a day and midnight, and at some point in the evening, it suddenly started to rain again.

    It continued to fall until noon the next day, when the rain finally slackened, and then came the scorching sun, which could make people in the house flustered with heat.

    "How many are left without getting sick?" Wang Hui asked.

    The military medical officer replied: "More than 1,600 people."

    A total of 3,500 expeditionary troops, only more than 1,600 people were not sick.  Moreover, the symptoms of the disease are varied, and many people's diseases cannot be diagnosed, and the military doctors can only judge them as "acclimatized."

    Wang Hui called the herald: "Let the native soldiers collect the corpses in the city, dig holes and bury them all, so as not to cause a plague."

    I couldn't even burn it, because I couldn't find so much dry firewood, and the dry firewood piled up in the house was severely damp.

    Feeling troublesome to start a fire, those Dutch soldiers all drank raw water directly.

    Only the Datong Army has strict military discipline, and no matter how difficult it is to start a fire, you must drink boiled water. During the two days of the typhoon, the Datong Army that invaded the city could only drink raw water on the spot.

    The fleets of China, the Netherlands, Brunei, and Sulu are all hiding in ports in Manila Bay.

    After the typhoon passed, they only dared to patrol the offshore area, for fear of encountering another storm after going out to sea.  The Spanish fleet also did not dare to come over, and both sides waited for a while before engaging in naval battles.

    Moreover, since each of them is busy repairing the ship, it is inevitable that they will be damaged while hiding in the port.

    For the next half month, no one moved.

    Inside the castle, there are a few Spanish officials and about 280 Spanish soldiers.  There are also hundreds of Japanese mercenaries, as well as the remaining Pampanga native soldiers.

    The Spanish Governor, Coquera, personally inspects every day.

    The more it rained, the more frightened he was, for fear that the Chinese army would attack the castle in the rain, and the rainy day would make the army more vigilant.

    "No more fights?" Tie Hong asked.

    "No more fighting," Wang Hui said, shaking his head. "Anyway, the city has been occupied, and there is only one castle left. There is no need to increase casualties. After a while, bring the soldiers' families and make their homes in this city. Move some more  Farmers, cultivate around the city. Before that, we built fortifications around the castle, surrounded the castle, and beat anyone who dared to come out. Starve these red-haired ghosts to death! He has a year's food, so we will surround it for a year  !"

    There are also sunny days in the rainy season.

    Once it was sunny, the Datong Army commanded the native soldiers to push the dirt into the city with a cart.  around the castle,?You can grab food and find a good place to live.  Manila is surrounded by the Datong army, no matter how we attack the manor, there will be no army of red-haired ghosts to rescue.  "

    "right!"

    Lin Lang gritted his teeth and said: "All our belongings have been robbed, and we will be poor when we return to Manila. Why don't we go to the manor of the red-haired ghost? We will rob his mother back as much as we have lost!"

    Wan Zhaoan smiled and said to the crowd: "Those who are willing to stay and become landlords, when we break through the red-haired ghost's village, we will distribute the land to reclaim it ourselves. Those are cultivated land, and there will definitely be good harvests from planting crops."

    Chen Yigui smiled and said, "It's not just a good harvest. If rice is grown, it can be harvested three times a year."

    Wan Zhaoan clapped his hands and said, "Then we specialize in the red-haired ghost's manor, and the land that we land will be distributed uniformly. In order to prevent people from favoritism, we will divide the land by lot every time. The more land we occupy, the more we will share."  When the time comes, take it to the Datong Army to settle down and report, from now on we will all be big landlords!"

    "Okay, be a landlord in Luzon!"

    "I still have to learn from the red-haired ghosts and catch some barbarians to be tenants."

    "That's not a tenant, that's a serf."

    "It doesn't matter whether he is a tenant or a serf, anyway, the native barbarians have to help plant the land, otherwise there is too much land, where can we grow it?"

    "Send troops, send troops! ?

 Body 501 [Divide Nanyang]

    "Want to negotiate?"

    "Yes, the red-haired governor said to negotiate."

    "Go to the island and invite Langzhong Zheng."

    Zheng Guozhong's current official position is Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, which is equivalent to the deputy director of the central organization.  He had managed the industrial and commercial sector in Fujian and was familiar with Manila trade, so he was appointed as the envoy, and he presided over the canonization of the kings of Brunei and Sulu.

    Zheng Guozhong, under the protection of several soldiers, crossed the obstacles beside the moat and came to the center of the bridge over the moat.

    Governor Coquera also came over. There were tables and chairs on the bridge, and the two sides sat there to negotiate.

    ? Through translation, the two sides reported their names and positions to each other.

    Immediately, Coquera said: "In view of the massacre of Tang people by Pampanga soldiers, we feel very sad and sympathetic, and at the same time extend our most sincere apologies to your country"

    "The city is already besieged, so stop talking nonsense!" Zheng Guozhong interrupted directly.

    Coquella was surprised: "Your envoy can speak Spanish."

    Zheng Guozhong said with a blank expression: "I have lived in Manila for four years, and one of the Chinese people who were killed last year was my uncle. So, why are you willing to surrender, just ask for the conditions directly, don't talk about it."  The nonsense of soldiers killing Han people."

    Coquera was speechless for a moment, and several congressmen who participated in the negotiation also stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

    The chief negotiator in China turned out to be the family members of the victims of the Tu Hua Incident.

    After being silent for a while, Coquila said: "As long as your country withdraws its troops from Manila, we are willing to compensate you for the loss of 50,000 pesos. At the same time, we will guarantee the safety of the Chinese in Manila. From now on, the tax amount of the Chinese will be the same as that of the Spaniards, and will not be paid any more.  Excessively taxed."

    50,000 Spanish pesos is 40,000 taels of silver.

    Zheng Guozhong sneered contemptuously: "Is this your sincerity? Surrender should look like surrender, don't think about bargaining!"

    Spain's talk of surrender at this time is exactly the same as the Dutch talked about surrender more than 20 years ago.

    It is obvious that there is no way out, but there is still no sincerity.  The only difference is that after the Dutch talks collapsed, the enemy withdrew their troops out of food and grass, and it is impossible for China to withdraw its troops now.

    Coquera continued to test: "How about compensation of 100,000 pesos?"

    Zheng Guozhong said: "Luzon Island, China is going to be settled!"

    Corquila felt desperate all of a sudden. If he lost Luzon, he might spend his whole life in prison if he went back.

    Since Portugal became independent from Spain, and the Netherlands has dominated Java again, it has sent troops to intercept Spanish ships every year, and has come to remove Spanish outlying strongholds every year.  In order to maintain the rule of Manila, 40% of the silver production in the Americas is shipped directly to Manila every year for administrative and military expenses.

    It is conceivable how much the Spanish royal family values ??the Philippines!

    Of course, corruption is also very serious, and 40% of the silver production in the Americas is shipped to Manila every year for rapid consumption.  It is said that it is recruiting troops, and it is said that it is building warships, but the strength of Manila is still like this.

    Although the Spanish royal family monopolizes the galleon trade, the annual smuggling is extremely alarming, and it is all smuggled by colonial officials in the Americas and the Philippines.

    Coquera forced himself to be calm: "Your Excellency, don't forget that once my country loses Manila, the silver silk trade will be completely cut off. At that time, Chinese merchants will also suffer heavy losses, and China's raw silk will completely lose the American market."

    The galleon trade is also called "silver silk trade", as long as the commodities are Chinese raw silk and American silver.

    Among them, Husi has the largest proportion, that is, raw silk from Huzhou Prefecture.

    If the silver silk trade is cut off, a large number of workers in Huzhou Prefecture and its surrounding areas will inevitably lose their jobs in a short period of time, and the income of farmers who grow mulberry and silkworms will also drop sharply.

    In addition, workers and peasants in Guangdong and surrounding areas will also suffer certain losses.  Because the market share of raw silk from Guangdong is second only to lake silk, and Guangdong raw silk is shipped from Jiangxi, Hunan and other places.

    Zheng Guozhong said disdainfully: "How can the interests of merchants be compared with the majesty of the imperial court?"

    Coquera was speechless for a moment. He felt like a fool when he talked about business interests with Chinese officials.

    Zheng Guozhong wanted to kill all these bastards, but he had an important task.  That is to throw the Spanish governor and army to the Philippine Islands further south without affecting the battle situation.

    Spain must be beaten, but it cannot be beaten to death with a stick, and the Netherlands cannot be the only one.

    Zheng Zhilong and Nanyang merchants provided a lot of information to Zhao Han.  Based on this information, Zhao Han repeatedly discussed with the cabinet and calculated the most beneficial result for China.  That is: China occupies Luzon Island, the Netherlands occupies the southern region of Mindanao, and Spain continues to occupy the southern islands.

    in this wayThis time, representatives from Brunei and Sulu also participated.

    Zheng Guozhong directly took out a map of Nanyang and circled it with a quill pen: "Luzon Island and Mindoro Island are all owned by China"

    "Wait a minute," Coquera interrupted immediately, "Mindoro, it is impossible to hand over to China."

    Zheng Guozhong asked: "In other words, Spain agrees to hand over Luzon Island?"

    Coquella remained silent, as he tacitly agreed that the food stored in his castle would last for another two months.

    If the conditions are not negotiated at this time, and if we are in a desperate situation two months later, I am afraid that Chinese officials will make the lion speak louder.

    Zheng Guozhong said again: "Samboanga must be returned to Sulu Kingdom."

    The negotiating envoy of Sulu Kingdom was overjoyed. He did not expect that the Chinese father could throw a bone out.

    Coquera did not refuse either, because Spain has not firmly occupied the entire peninsula where Zamboanga is located.  It is often beaten down this year and lost next year. The resistance of the people in Sulu is very troublesome.

    Kui Yi interjected: "The Netherlands should set up a stronghold in Zamboanga and jointly manage the port with Sulu."

    Zheng Guozhong asked the Sulu envoy: "Do you agree?"

    The Sulu Kingdom also wanted to introduce the Netherlands to check and balance Spain's expansion. They nodded and said: "The Netherlands can be allowed to trade in Zamboanga, but it cannot interfere with the management of the port, nor can it build churches at will."

    Kui Yi was very unhappy: "The Netherlands has lost a lot, is it just these leftovers?"

    Zheng Guozhong drew a circle in the southern part of Mindanao and said: "This place belongs to the Netherlands."

    Everyone has no objection, it does not belong to any country, and all of them are extremely primitive indigenous tribes.

    "Not enough," Kui Yi pointed to Busuanga Island and said, "This island should also belong to the Netherlands."

    This island is very magical. It is adjacent to the Sulu Kingdom in the southwest and Mindoro Island in the northeast. It is not particularly far from Manila, but so far it has not been occupied by any country.

    ?After half a month of negotiations, the "Manila Four-Nation Agreement" was released:

    First, Spain admitted its defeat and compensated China and the Netherlands with 10,000 pesos (8,000 taels of silver) each, and Brunei and Sulu with 100 pesos each.

    Second, Luzon Island is under the rule of China, and Busuanga Island and southern Mindanao are under the Netherlands.  The western peninsula of Mindanao, that is, the territory near Zamboanga, should be returned to the Sulu Sultanate by Spain.

    Third, the Netherlands can establish a trade point in Zamboanga, but it cannot garrison troops, build churches, or participate in port management.

    Fourth, the Netherlands has the exclusive right to trade in Brunei and Sulu. The spices and gems of Brunei and Sulu are jointly monopolized by China and the Netherlands, and no country is allowed to participate.

    Fifth, Spain will establish the Governor's Palace in Cebu Port, and the silver trade in Manila will be transferred to Cebu Port in the future.  No country is allowed to attack Cebu Port, otherwise it would be tantamount to declaring war on China, the Netherlands and Spain.

    Sixth, Spain and the Netherlands recognize China as the suzerain of Brunei and Sulu.  Based on the existing borders, Spain and the Netherlands are not allowed to expand in Brunei and Sulu without authorization, otherwise it will be tantamount to declaring war on China.

    Seventh, the Netherlands canceled the extra tax imposed on the Chinese in Batavia.

    Eighth, stop killing the Spaniards in Luzon, and allow the Spaniards to withdraw with their property (except for Manila, the Spaniards in the castle are not allowed to take any property).

    This agreement was signed by the Governor of the Philippines, and the King of Spain may not accept it.

    But if you don't recognize it, you have to recognize it, otherwise it will be war.

    Moreover, it is likely that the King of Spain refused to accept his account and resumed trade while in a state of war.

    Officials like Governor Coquera could only leave with some documents. The wealth they robbed and accumulated was divided between China and the Netherlands: China accounted for 50%, the Netherlands accounted for 35%, Brunei and Sulu together accounted for 5%  , and the remaining 10% is distributed to the indigenous people who participated in the war.

    Coquera sent a messenger to notify the plantation owners to evacuate.

    As a result, news was received one after another that the Spanish plantations, those near Manila, had been robbed long ago.

    It has nothing to do with the Chinese army, it is a good thing done by Chinese refugees.  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/680382230.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/680382230.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Text 502【Outward Expansion】

    The governor of the Netherlands, Van Diemen, fell ill during the rainy season and received the "Manila Five Agreement" in his hospital bed.

    Van Diemen immediately held a meeting and called all the members of the council.  He dragged his sick body and smiled and announced: "Gentlemen, we have fully achieved our expected goal in this year's Manila campaign. Although Busuanga Island is barren, its location is very important. It is located between the three powers of China, Spain, and Sulu.  The crossroads of trade. Now that this island belongs to us, we should immediately mobilize manpower and supplies to build castles and ports on the island!"

    Then, Van Diemen continued: "Although the southern part of Mindanao is full of barbaric natives, there is a bay there, which is a natural safe haven, and ports and cities can be built in the bay. As long as we gain a firm foothold in America, here  It is the first stop from the Americas to the Far East! This place can become the second Manila!"

    "Crack, clap, clap!"

    Lawmakers applauded immediately, but without much excitement.

    In the southern region of Mindanao, it will take at least ten years of operation and cooperate with the influence of the Netherlands in the Americas before it can truly be realized as a rolling silver.

    Although Busuanga Island's geographical location is very important, there are several large ports around it, which will attract trading ships, and it is difficult to make profits in the short term.

    The Netherlands won these two places. If it is compared to playing Go, it is to play in two key positions.  Long-term thinking is definitely a good hand, but at this stage it doesn't have much effect, and congressmen who focus on short-term interests always feel that they are at a loss.

    Fortunately, the Netherlands has obtained the right to trade, and together with China, can monopolize the spice gems of Brunei and Sulu.

    In Van Diemen's eyes, this trading right was incidental to the negotiations, but the congressmen regarded the trading right as a real war dividend.

    Excited Van Diemen, it seems that his condition has improved a lot, and when he returned home, he asked his servants to open a bottle of wine to celebrate

    Banten Port.

    A senior employee of a trading post is writing to the top of the British East India Company:

    "Gentlemen, I just received an amazing news. The Dutch East India Company, together with the Emperor of China, defeated Spain on land and sea. The Emperor of China got Luzon Island, and the Dutch East India Company got two key sites.  The two sultanates of Brunei and Sulu have returned to the embrace of the Chinese emperor By the way, the Dutch East India Company has joined forces with China to monopolize the spices and gems of Brunei and Sulu."

    "Gentlemen, we need a war. Britain and the Netherlands will go to war directly. Only war can win commercial interests. If this continues, the British East India Company will find it difficult to gain a foothold in the Far East"

    Teddy Holland at sea is making troubles all over the world, so naturally he won't have a good relationship with Britain.

    Both countries have the East India Company, and it is normal to compete with each other for business.

    More than 20 years ago, Britain was doing a good job in the spice business on Java Island, and the Dutch fleet suddenly came.  After a fierce beating, the Netherlands forced Britain to sign an agreement: the Oriental spice trade was divided into three, and the Netherlands monopolized the second.

    The matter is not over yet, only a few years later, the Netherlands killed all the British in the Magguru Islands because of the spice trade, which is known as the "Ambriana Massacre" in history.

    In the Baltic Sea, the Mediterranean Sea and West Africa, the Netherlands is also competing with the UK for business everywhere.  He even went to catch herring off the coast of the UK and sold them to the British.

    If the British want to get tough, they have to wait for Lord Protector Cromwell. The current British king has no intention of engaging in a trade war.

    Of course, the British, who had a hard time, are now doing well in India.

    Portugal had a bad relationship with the Mughal emperor of India. The British fleet defeated the Portuguese fleet, and the Mughal emperor was very happy.  The British then acted like licking dogs, frantically kneeling and licking the Indian emperor. The British king also sent a mission to coax the Indian emperor into great joy in a way that was almost flattering.

    Therefore, the Indian emperor ordered that officials from all over the country should protect the British well.

    There are no restrictions on the British doing business in India, and officials from all over the country are not allowed to harass British factories.  Even in some areas, the British are directly exempted from business tax!

    What a great Indian emperor, the British are very grateful for this, and they will do their best to repay the emperor's love

    Nanjing.

    The people standing in front of Zhao Han were all important cabinet ministers of the Datong court.

    Zuo Xiaoliang said: "It is definitely impossible to set up prefectures and counties in Luzon. We can set up a Xuanfu Division to rule over them."

    Ouyang Zheng said: "The land outside Huawai should be like this. Just like the Xuanweisi of Laos, set up a Luzon Xuanweisi to let the local chieftain manage the jurisdiction."

    &??Zhao Han pretended not to see it at all.

    After all, immigrating to Luzon is also risky, and one who is not acclimatized may die.

    It's a pity that everyone in the countryside has land, and those who don't have land have already immigrated to the north, and even the encouragement of development cannot be encouraged.

    Two brothers, Lin Yingwen and Lin Congwen, came to their hometown and called their elders.

    They offer extremely favorable conditions, provide travel expenses, provide seeds, and you can divide the fields when you go to Luzon, and as long as you can grow it, it doesn't matter how much you plant, and you can also recruit indigenous people to become big landlords.  However, few responded.

    "I know Luzon, that place is far away."

    "I heard that there is miasma in Luzon, and if you enter the forest, you will die."

    "My family's land is enough, and we can earn some income by weaving. It's not bad to buy oil, salt, sauce and vinegar."

    ""

    After several days of tossing, the brothers only recruited three villagers.

    When they returned to the city, they saw a large number of citizens arguing in front of the imperial edict.

    Many of these citizens do not know how to farm, and they work in the city to make a living.  At this moment, many people are tempted. Even if they don't know how to farm, they can recruit native tenants and landlords!

    Ninety-nine percent of the first batch of civilian immigrants to Luzon were urbanites!

    Especially those idlers, Zhao Han ordered local officials to crack down on gangsters.  They were cut off from their sources of income and refused to work honestly. Now they finally have a chance to go out and make a living.

 Body 503 [Shui'an's]

    According to statistics from the Ministry of Household Affairs, both Fujian and Guangdong have more than 4 million people.

    However, Fujian has a Taiwan prefecture, and Guangdong has a Qiongzhou prefecture.  A large number of landless people from Fujian and Guangdong were immigrated to the coastal areas of Taiwan and Hainan Island for reclamation.

    The cost of this kind of immigration is not high, just go by boat.

    In the first year, the land is often directly burned, and the primitive agricultural technology of slash-and-burn farming is very effective in reclaiming raw land.  It doesn't take much effort to cut down trees, and the ash left by burning wasteland can also be used as fertilizer to nourish crops.

    In the central and northern regions of Taiwan Island alone, more than 600,000 Han Chinese have settled down one after another—50,000 to 60,000 of them were immigrated by Zheng Zhilong when he was a pirate.

    Taking into account the population who immigrated to Taiwan and the coastal port cities, there are actually only about 2 million farmers left in the vast Fujian countryside.

    Therefore, although there is not much arable land in Fujian, farmers really have no shortage of land to plant!

    The development level of Hainan Island is much higher than that of Taiwan Island.  The number of registered Han Chinese and Shu Li exceeded 1 million. Most of the Han immigrants came to the island during the Ming Dynasty.  The ancestors of these Han people, about 300,000 to 500,000, were organized by the Ming government to emigrate, and many of them were military households and exiled prisoners.

    This time Zhao Han announced to the world and used policies to encourage overseas development. In addition to many street thieves, there are also a large number of businessmen who have heard the news.

    After they came to Luzon, they were told the principle of pioneering when they settled down, and they were not allowed to rob the territory of friendly indigenous tribes.

    The so-called goodwill tribes are the tribes who followed the Datong Army and attacked Manila together.  There are also tribes that quietly accepted and protected Chinese survivors after the Tu Hua incident.

    These tribes have been registered one after another.

    At the same time, the coastal area on the west side of Luzon Island is divided into five administrative regions, and five magistrates are appointed to manage it.  The pioneering areas of the Han people all radiated from the five major counties. For the time being, they only engaged in agricultural planting and port trade, and did not go into the mountains to find gold and silver mines.

    ?It is said to swallow the entire Luzon Island, but in fact it can only control the western coastal area, and 80% of the island is still in the hands of the indigenous people.

    Wan Zhaoan, who brought more than 2,000 Chinese refugees and attacked Spanish plantations everywhere, has now become a plantation owner.  He was allocated a tobacco plantation by drawing lots, and the girl he saved halfway was also taken as his concubine.

    ?One wife, one concubine, one father-in-law, the family has a total of more than 200 mu of land, and there are 13 natives as tenants for them.

    They are all serfs left by the Spaniards. They are very good at growing tobacco, but no one likes to be lazy.

    Wan Zhaoan called the tenants together, took out the employment contract and said: "Come and press your fingerprints. I will temporarily divide the tobacco plantation into 13 pieces of land and lease them to you for cultivation. The tobacco grown every year will be paid by us."  Come and sell, 60% of the money will go to me, and 40% to yourselves. If you want to make more money, just farm the land honestly for me!"

    The native tenants are used to being serfs, so they don't know what tenancy is, so they just press their fingerprints in a daze.

    Then, the native tenants were led out to inspect the land they cultivated one by one.  After tossing for several days, I finally understood what it meant, and my enthusiasm for farming increased slightly.

    If you want to really make them work hard, you have to harvest the tobacco.

    When the time comes, call everyone and distribute the money in front of everyone.  Some get less money, some get more money, and you can experience the benefits of hard work firsthand.

    Wan Zhaoan was kind enough to leave 40% to the tenants.

    ? True traditional landlords will not give tenants a share at all, but directly set the rent quota.  Even in the event of natural disasters and no harvests, the tenants have to pay the rent in full according to the quota.

    Wan Zhaoan didn't think about exploiting the native tenants hard, because he was thinking about making the cake bigger.

    There are four members of the family, and they have not yet occupied 400 mu of land. It is too wasteful of manpower for 13 tenants to plant more than 200 mu of land.  After all, this is a tobacco plantation, unlike grain farming, it is easy for a tenant to plant 10 mu of land.

    This guy then reclaimed wasteland in the surrounding area. As long as he has cultivated the wasteland for three years, the wasteland will be his, and the tax will be very light during the three years.

    The first generation of Luzon Han people who settled down took root in this way.

    What awaits them will be tax adjustments in the next two to three years.  For example, heavy taxes are levied on tobacco and sugarcane, and light taxes are levied on growing grain, etc.—Don’t think about filing taxes indiscriminately, the number of Han people is too small, and the land of Han people is also small, and officials can see everything when they go to the countryside.

    Zheng Guozhong, who was sent to Nanjing and was in charge of negotiations, was promoted to the governor of Luzon, and he was promoted several levels at once.

    That black buddy, Tie Hong, became the first Luzon General Soldier.

    theI will definitely envy the Sichuan soldiers, because it is so easy to fight.

    An Rupan actually did not drill the mountains, but mobilized troops to defend the city. Siege warfare is much easier than guerrilla warfare.

    A soldier climbed over the mountain and came down from the cliff on the east side of the stockade.

    "My lord, the son said that there will be a night attack tonight!"

    "good!"

    An Rupan was overjoyed.

    The enemy actually divides his forces to attack the two villages, and the defenders of the two villages can move troops at will through the valley.  Coupled with his son An Kun, the army transferred from Guiyang will surely be able to respond to the night attack from inside and outside, and wipe out all the Datong army that was separated!

    Fei Yinggong was sitting in the camp, and the spies who came from white soldiers also rushed in to report: "General, there are enemy troops in the south. They didn't take the official road, they went over the mountain and took the path, and they are hiding in the valley a few miles to the south.  inside."

    Fei Yinggong couldn't help laughing: "I was planning to leave the empty battalion and dispatch troops to surprise Guiyang, but the enemy from Guiyang came to surprise me.?…

 Text 504 [Native Chicken and Tile Dog]

    An Rupan's ancestor was the famous Mrs. Shexiang.

    When the Shui'an Clan was at its peak, it claimed to have 400,000 soldiers.  There were two rebellions before and after, both of which were cleared up by Daming, and part of the territory was also reformed and returned.

    The Song clan in Shuidong declined even more. When She Chongming rebelled, the An clan and the Song clan could combine 100,000 troops to attack Guiyang.

    A few days ago, An Rupan tried to lead his troops out of the village.

    More than 3,000 people, taking advantage of Fei Yinggong's retreat, killed them unexpectedly in the evening.  After a volley of guns, he collapsed directly, and almost lost the cottage because of it.

    Fei Yinggong felt quite boring, let alone the Eight Banners soldiers, the Guizhou native soldiers here are not even as good as the elite officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

    He was too lazy to wait for the enemy to attack the battalion, and continued to bombard during the day, while 2,000 Datong troops went out to continue besieging the city with farmers, soldiers, and peasants.  The other 3,000 Datong troops directly followed the trail and took the initiative to attack the enemy on the other side of the mountain.

    An Kun is only in his teens this year. In history, this guy was persuaded by Hong Chengchou to surrender and became the pioneer of the Eight Banners soldiers.  Wu Sangui was stuck at Qixing Pass, he hesitated to attack, and it was An Kun who took the lead in charging.  An Kun also attacked the Nanming army everywhere, arrested anti-Qing righteous soldiers and escorted them to the Manchu Qing court.

    Then, in order to expand his territory, Wu Sangui labeled An Kun as a rebel, and killed An Kun easily.

    After An Kun died, after Mrs. Shexiang, Guizhou's second heroine came out.  An Kun's widow, Rouyuan's wife, Lu Tianxiang, led the Shuixi Yi tribe to fight against Wu Sangui, and was canonized as a first-class wife by Kangxi.

    "My son, the enemy army is coming!"

    An Kun, who was nestling in the ravine, waiting for the night raid, was shocked when he heard the news.

    Since he planned to attack at night, he naturally sent out sentries all the way, and the 3,000 Datong army came to kill him, and An Kun would definitely find him.

    An Kun asked: "How many enemy troops have come?"

    The spy replied: "It looks like three or four thousand."

    "It's really only three or four thousand?" An Kun was overjoyed after being shocked, drew his sword and shouted, "Follow me to kill the enemy and destroy the enemy army!"

    He left 5,000 people to guard Guiyang, and this time he brought 18,000 elites.

    Eighteen thousand against three or four thousand, just ask how to lose?

    An Kun obviously knows how to fight, and immediately issued various military orders.  5,000 people were divided on the left and right, and they climbed the mountains to ambush, intending to besiege on three sides at a critical moment.

    This mountain path is very narrow and can only accommodate two people standing side by side.

    Three thousand Datong troops, dragged into a long snake, slowly marched forward.  Of course, a search team of hundreds of people was sent to search the hillsides on both sides.

    As they walked, the officer leading the troops ordered to stop, and even the search team stopped when they heard the whistle.

    The terrain in front is very suitable for ambushes. Only when the general position of the enemy is known, the fool will lead the troops to continue.

    When An Kun got the news, he immediately added in his mind: "These enemy troops must be going to attack Guiyang by surprise. We have been discovered, so hurry up and chase them, don't let them escape!"

    Eighteen thousand native soldiers, no longer hiding their whereabouts, rushed out of the mountains and valleys quickly.

    The mountains and plains are full of enemies.

    "Quick retreat!"

    The search team on the mountain, and the main force of the Datong army in the mountain, immediately withdrew towards the open area behind.

    It was a large bamboo forest. A certain girl in a certain time and space once caught pandas here.

    "Doo toot toot toot toot toot"

    The sound of the suona sounded at the edge of the bamboo forest, and the Datong army, who had fled a little scattered, heard the sound of the trumpet one after another and came to gather.

    An Kun led hundreds of mountain cavalry and ordered the whole army to kill the enemy.

    Guizhou war horses and Yunnan war horses are also one of the sources of war horses in Ming Dynasty.  The Shuixi horse is especially outstanding, and it even paid tribute to Zhu Yuanzhang for the dragon horse. The dragon pit and the Longchang station are all related to that dragon horse.  Song Lian wrote a special article "Praise of the Heavenly Horse" for this purpose, and Zhu Yuanzhang named the dragon horse "Fei Yue Feng", which means that it can fly over the mountain when riding on it.

    Tens of thousands of troops cannot be accommodated in this broken place, and 70% of the Shuixi native soldiers are climbing mountains and detours, trying to go around the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain to encircle the Datong army.

    Shen Tianliang raised his gun and ordered: "The whole team, continue to retreat!"

    ? Shen Tianliang joined the army in the ninth year of Chongzhen. Sichuan fought and expanded its army and promoted quickly. He didn't take these soldiers seriously.

    Yishui'er's bows, arrows and spears don't have many pairs of iron armor. If they can wear leather armor, they are considered elite soldiers. Can this kind of army be called an army?

    Seeing the Datong army retreating to the depths of the bamboo forest, An Kun hesitated instead, and quickly sent an order not to chase.

    Will there be an ambush inside?

    "My lord, do you want to set fire to the bamboo forest?"

    "The enemy is not a wild boar,After the army retreated to the dangerous terrain, it has repelled the enemy's attacks several times.

    An Kun personally climbed to the middle of the mountain, and said to a small chieftain leader: "You lead people to attack the mountain!"

    This little chieftain is called Shewang. He bravely summoned the local soldiers and led more than 2,000 people to attack from the front.

    An Kun said to another leader: "Your people, attack from the left side. It's not easy to climb over there, so you can go farther away."

    Then he continued to order: "You lead people to go around to the right You take people to go around to the back of the mountain Attack from all sides, and pile them up to death!"

    Li Waizui is a mountain dweller in northern Sichuan, to be precise, a hunter.

    Before the age of 25, he had never touched a gun, but he was very accurate at shooting rabbits with a bow and arrow.

    Today, the Datong Army is expanding its troops in Sichuan, and Li Waizui has been promoted to the rank of corps leader.  Only half a month after he got the firecracker, he has already practiced his marksmanship like a god, and the smoothbore gun has the effect of a rifled gun.

    Li Waizui raised his gun to aim, and when he closed his left eye, his mouth became even more crooked.

    "boom!"

    Shewang was leading troops to climb, when a gunshot came, he felt a pain in his chest, and rolled down the mountain on the spot.

    "Old Li is good at shooting guns!" Yang Fu, the chief of staff, praised.

    Seeing the general's death, all the local soldiers under Shewang's command retreated in fright.

    "Blow the charge!"

    Not only did the enemy army not expect Shen Tianliang's sudden order, but even the soldiers of the Datong Army were surprised.

    It's very simple, more than 10,000 Shuixi native soldiers were dispatched to surround them with a large number of troops, and there were only seven or eight thousand left on the front.  At present, a total of 2,000 enemy troops are fleeing, why not take the opportunity to rush down the mountain and directly capture the enemy's chief general, An Kun?

    "Doo toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot~~~~"

    The charge sounded, and the 3000 Datong army swooped down the mountain.  The 2,000 native soldiers under Shewang's command were frightened and ran for their lives when they heard the shouts of killing behind them.

    An army of native soldiers below, about a thousand people, also fled inexplicably.

    An Kun said to his confidants: "Lead troops to block it!" Then he shouted, "Send the order, the troops on both sides will surround and kill, and those who escaped will be killed!"

    The military law team of the native soldiers killed more than 20 people in a row, finally stopped the rout, and turned around to meet the Datong army rushing down.

    The two sides approached twenty or thirty steps, and Shen Tianliang personally blew the whistle.

    The Datong army slowed down when they heard the whistle, squatted down and shot freely at close range, and charged with the bayonet immediately after firing the bullets.

    This is a mountain charge routine that has been trained for a long time, and they have long been handy.

    Tu Bang, who was killed by the law enforcement team, was shot at close range, and hundreds of them fell down in an instant.  Morale really collapsed this time, and the law enforcement team couldn't stop them. Some even threw away their weapons and turned to run for their lives.

    An Kun was dumbfounded when he saw this, and ran down the mountain. If he didn't run, he would die, because his law enforcement team was also collapsing.

    A group of native chickens and dogs.

    In the frontal direction, the whole army fled and collapsed in a confused way, causing the soldiers on both sides to be confused about the situation, thinking that their main general had died in battle.  These native soldiers belonged to different small chieftains, and they did not belong to each other. After fleeing head-on, they also fled.

    18,000 native soldiers, with about 1,000 casualties, were killed and completely scattered in this way.

    An Kun almost rolled to the bottom of the mountain, hit his head on a tree trunk, and sprained his ankle when he got up.  He was supported on the horse by his own soldiers, and he didn't care about gathering the army. He fled the battlefield on his beloved horse, taking only a few hundred of his own guard cavalry.

    As for the other native soldiers, they were scattered all over the mountains and plains, and there was no way to catch them. Most of them would flee back to their hometown by themselves.

 Text 505【Chain Reaction】

    An Rupan was sitting in the Song family's Beiya, and could faintly hear crackling gunshots.

    He was a little restless, thinking that his son had been ambushed.

    But I was lucky, because the Datong army was encircling the two chain villages, so it was impossible to allocate too many troops to ambush them.

    At night, he ordered his soldiers and horses in advance, waiting for the news of his son's night attack, and planned to have a good show of attacking back and forth.

    Waited and waited, but there was no fart movement, something must have happened to my son.

    The next day, morning.

    There was a commotion outside the village, and a soldier rushed over in panic: "My lord, shi shizi has lost!"

    An Rupan walked out quickly, but saw thousands of captives brought outside, all dressed as An's soldiers.

    A horse rushed out, approached the gate of the village, and shouted: "An Rupan, your reinforcements have been defeated, and the entire army has been wiped out. Surrender quickly, and you will not die!"

    The Yi people and Miao people around Guiyang have a high level of Chinese and can fully understand this sentence. At this moment, they are all terrified.

    ?An Rupan regretted endlessly in his heart, he shouldn't have come to Shuidongsi, the Song family surrendered if they wanted to, and he should stick to Guiyang City.  Even if they are also besieged, the walls of Guiyang City are tall, it is better than being trapped in this dilapidated place.

    After careful identification, it was found that the son had not been captured, and the Datong Army had not obtained the son's head.

    Fortunately, his son did not die, and he probably fled back to Guiyang with his troops, so he still has bargaining chips on his side.

    An Rupan wore full body armor, approached the gate of the village cautiously, and shouted loudly: "The commander of your army stepped forward to speak!"

    Fei Yinggong rode forward slowly, and said in a bad mood: "If you have a fart, let it go quickly, and if you want to throw it, hurry up."

    An Rupan knew that it was impossible to continue to be a chieftain, so he offered a price and said, "Shuixi Sixty-Four Village is willing to surrender, and I don't expect to continue to be a chieftain, I just want to be a hereditary native to do it after returning to the land.  Also, all the slaves of the An family can be released, but the land of the An family will not be divided. How about it?"

    Fei Yinggong smiled and said: "You have inquired about our military affairs very clearly."

    An Rupan continued: "The two armies are fighting, and the casualties will only increase. Why don't you take a step back? As long as you agree to my conditions, not only the land in the west and east of the water will be owned by the Datong army, but I will also help you to pacify Guizhou."  !"

    ?Give up the position of chieftain, release all the serfs, just want to keep the land, and by the way, become a hereditary local co-prefect.

    An Rupan felt that he was very sincere in this kind of negotiation conditions, no matter which emperor he changed to, he would agree.  Settling down and surrendering is equivalent to surrendering most of Guizhou.

    Didn't the Manchus in history agree?  And let Anjia continue to make toast.

    "Stubborn!"

    Fei Yinggong rode back on horseback and said to the messenger: "Continue to shell!"

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Immediately, the sound of artillery was loud, and the morale of the soldiers guarding the village became low.

    Most of them were not regular soldiers, and they usually farmed at home. They were besieged and shelled for half a month, and the reinforcements were defeated by the Datong Army. There was no hope of victory.

    "My lord, Song Siding is clamoring to see you."

    "He's still restless, bring him here!"

    An Rupan was disturbed by the sound of the cannons. He had suffered a great loss before and dared not lead his troops to fight out. Now he can only listen to the cannons every day.

    Song Siding was a young man in his twenties. He was dragged in front of An Rupan, and said with a mournful face: "Uncle, you should surrender, otherwise the An and Song families may be wiped out."

    "Surrender, surrender, you only know how to surrender," An Rupan said angrily, "As long as your Song family strives for strength, you won't be killed all the way to the Song family's Beiya. It caused me to bring troops to rescue, and now everyone  Trapped in your Song family village!"

    Song Siding thought to himself, you didn't come to save me, you came to harm me, and you put me under house arrest as soon as you came.

    Song Siding wiped his tears and said: "Uncle, my nephew really dare not fight against the Heavenly Soldiers. Twenty-one years ago, my late father was beheaded by the Ming soldiers; fourteen years ago, my brother was also beheaded by the Ming soldiers. The current Datong Army,  But he is stronger than the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, so how can we beat him? Uncle will surrender, and my nephew wants to save his life."

    This guy's father and elder brother were all beheaded by Ming officers and soldiers because of rebellion.  The one who killed his brother was an old acquaintance of Zhao Han's - Jiangxi governor Zhu Xieyuan.

    The chieftain of the Song family in Shuidong was also converted by Zhu Xieyuan. Not to mention that the official position and territory were not kept, even a lot of land was divided.

    Seeing the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, Song Siding was fooled by An Rupan, so he took the remnants of his forces to raise troops, and proclaimed himself the chieftain of Shuidong again.  He's just had sex addiction, no matter who beats him, while chasing, while shouting.  The Datong army who climbed up the mountain later, although the distance was quite far, also shouted together.

    To the Shuixi native soldiers, the top of the mountain seemed to be full of enemies, and they wished that their parents would have two more legs.

    In the confusion, the Shuixi soldiers who went up the mountain to rescue also turned around and ran down the mountain.  Because the path was too narrow and blocked by broken soldiers, they had no way to go up the mountain.  Moreover, from time to time there were rout soldiers, who were crowded and rolled down the mountain, and the screams matched with the shouts of killing, frightened the reinforcements.

    The reinforcements were originally retreating, retreating, and inexplicably turned into a rout.

    "Han soldiers are coming! Han soldiers are coming!"

    After these rout soldiers rushed down the mountain, they messed up the entire barracks.

    "kill!"

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Outside the stockade, Fei Yinggong is also sending troops to cooperate.  Although the cannon hadn't been launched yet, it was impossible to hit the wall of the village, but it also fired indiscriminately into the mountains, purely using the sound of the cannon to boost the power.

    "The Han soldiers are coming, let's fight back!"

    The Shuidong local soldiers, mainly of the Buyi and Miao nationalities, felt that the opportunity to turn against the water had come, and they formed small teams with the relationship between relatives and neighbors.  They didn't rush to kill directly, but set fire to their barracks, and then rushed out to set fires everywhere.

    After the battle was set up, the Shuixi native soldiers felt that there were enemies everywhere, and they didn't know where to flee if they wanted to escape.

    "Escape to the opposite stockade!"

    Finally, a little clever ghost remembered that this is a chain village, and he could go to another village through the valley.

    More and more defeated soldiers spontaneously fled towards the valley, and even An Rupan was coerced and fled there.  Gathering troops is impossible, the barracks are already in chaos, and the Shuixi soldiers have completely lost their organization.

    Fei Yinggong led his troops into the stockade, and Qin Yiming also came from the mountain. Thousands of rebellious Shuidong soldiers knelt down when they saw them.

    Fei Yinggong left hundreds of people to guard the surrendered soldiers, and then led the troops to chase into the valley.

    On the other side of the valley, the defenders in the village were awakened.  Hearing the shouts in the valley from far to near, obviously coming towards them, they thought they had already been killed there.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    After hearing the movement, the Datong army here also fired indiscriminately, who knows where the shells went.

    However, the enemies in the village were even more flustered when they heard the sound of the artillery, thinking that they were attacked by the enemy.

    So, the camp was bombed.

    The soldiers in Shuixi ran around and shouted unconsciously. They didn't know what they were doing, they just ran around and shouted crazily, and they even forgot to jump out of the wall to escape for their lives.

    An Rupan was blocked between the valley and the stockade by rebels. Hearing the chaotic shouts, he knew that he was completely finished.

    He pulled out his waist knife and planned to commit suicide.

    As soon as he drew the knife to his neck, An Rupan was pushed down by the soldiers, and his back was stepped on several times.  This guy subconsciously crawled to avoid it, and after being stepped on and broke his wrist, he finally climbed to a place close to the mountain wall.

    It is no longer stepped on, but An Rupan always feels aggrieved.

    Suicide can't be successful, and the waist knife doesn't know where to fall. What kind of thing is he, the king of Guizhou?  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/680178316.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/680178316.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

    Guiyang.

    Including the army that was originally staying behind, as well as the broken soldiers who fled back one after another, the city's defenders are about 7,000 people.

    All have been terrified!

    An Kun lay on the head of the city, looking at his father who was captured outside the city, and for a moment didn't know what to do.

    Although teenagers in their teens often fight with their fathers, they are all disobedient little chieftains.  He thought he was a natural general, but in the end he was defeated with less, and he still hasn't figured out how he lost.

    Now that my own father has also been arrested, do I really want to surrender?

    An Rupan's wrist was broken, and his arm is still hanging at the moment.  He was escorted to the bottom of the city by the Datong army, and he shouted helplessly towards the top of the city: "Akun, surrender! General Fei said, we can take 500 taels of silver and go to Luzon Island with the whole family. No matter what kind of wild land there  land, could it be poorer than Guizhou?"

    An Kun hesitated to speak, then sighed, and finally ordered: "Kaicheng!"

    When Fei Yinggong and Qin Yiming came to the gate of the city, An Kun had already brought his generals and knelt there waiting for a long time.

    After several battles, including the surrender of Guiyang, a total of more than 20,000 native soldiers were captured.

    The accompanying civil servants took the opportunity to register, trying to find out the names and addresses of these people.  As a result, most of them have no Han people, and some don't even have Yi nationality surnames, so they can only make up names for them according to the homophony of Yi nationality names.

    Each of them received a small amount of food and went home, and at the same time brought a piece of paper with their names on them.

    Thousands of reminders, don't lose the note, in the future, with this note, you can go to the government to settle down and divide the land.

    Those native soldiers were ecstatic. After losing the battle, they could still receive food?

    ?They have no doubts about the settlement and distribution of land. These Han officials are good people and are willing to give them food, so they will definitely not deceive them indiscriminately.

    Except for 1,500 strong soldiers who were left as auxiliary soldiers, all the other soldiers went home happily.  Before leaving, I also recited the Great Harmony policy, everyone is equal, no slaves, no corvee, no heavy taxes, everyone has land to farm, everyone has clothes to wear, everyone has food to eat

    With a radius of hundreds of miles, the news spread quickly. Both the Han people and the ethnic minorities were half-believing and excitedly waiting for the land to be divided.

    If any chieftain wants to gather troops to resist again, he will not be able to raise troops at all, unless the Datong Army does not fulfill these promises.

    An Rupan knelt on the ground and said: "General Fei, I will send a few entourages, and the various ministries in Shuixi will be able to pass it on. If you can help the general recover Shuixi without bloodshed, the general will give you an extra thousand taels of silver for my credit."  Go to Luzon."

    Fei Yinggong smiled and said: "If you can win Shuixi immediately, I will definitely credit you."

    Bijie, Chishui, Dafang, Zhijin, Jinshathese are all under the jurisdiction of Shuixi, where An Rupan's old nest is located, and the local people are mainly Yi people.

    Today, the West Route Army led by Huang Yao is working hard to attack Shuixi, where the roads are more difficult than those in northern Guizhou!

    Huang Yao's first target was Du Yan, commander of Daming Chishuiwei.

    After this guy learned of the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he immediately set up troops in Chishuiwei. Thousands of households such as Pushi, Mani, Baisa, and Aluomi all expressed that they would continue to follow Du's command.  Then, Du Yan sent troops to Bijie to take down Bijiewei and Qixingguan.

    Just when Du Yan entered the Guihua post, he was beaten back by An Rupan's native soldiers, and he could only occupy Bijie and Chishui from then on.  He fought with An Rupan a few more times, and the two sides shook hands to make peace. Du Yan nominally joined An Rupan, and at the same time proclaimed himself the recruiter of Qianxi.

    Huang Yao led his troops to the south and captured the Thousand Households Office in Pushi by surprise. Du Yan immediately sent envoys to negotiate.

    As for the content of the negotiation, it is nothing more than keeping the land and property after the surrender, and by the way, asking for a small official from the Datong court.

    Du Yan felt that his request was reasonable, who would surrender if he didn't give benefits?

    Unexpectedly, Huang Yao directly raised his troops to kill him, and took down Mani Thousand Households in half a day.

    Du Yan was so frightened that he didn't dare to stick to Chishui any longer, and led the army to Bijie in a hurry.  On the way, the thousand households of the Aluomi Qianhu House did not want to leave the place where they lived for generations, so they pulled more than a thousand soldiers to break up with Du Yan.

    After a little friction, the two sides parted ways, and Aluomiqianhu unconditionally surrendered to the Datong Army.

    Du Yan withdrew all the way to Bijie by himself, leaving 800 troops stationed at Layer Taiguan.

    Aluomiqianhu acted as the leading party and led Huang Yao to the stage quickly. The 800 gatekeepers Ma Liu chose to surrender.  Seeing that Huang Yao's army was approaching, Du Yan led his troops to run away again, went west out of Qixingguan and went straight to Wusa Mansion, where he went to seek refuge with the chieftain of the Yi nationality - this place belongs to the Sichuan border that has not yet been occupied by the Datong army.

    ? Easily won Chishui and Bijie, and Huang Yaocai waved his troops eastward to go?? In principle, all belong to Xuanweishi, that is, to An Rupan.  What Mu Kui and what Tumu are all helping An Rupan manage and manage the land.

    The original Tumen were all from the bastard sons of Tusi.

    The eldest son of the chieftain stayed with him to inherit the family business, and the other sons were thrown to various places as Tusi, which was similar to entrusting the sons to manage the land.  Gradually, Tumu can also be hereditary, just like princes who actually own the land bestowed by Zhou Tianzi, but are only land managers in name.

    The slaves who were summoned were very excited. They didn't know the prestige of the Datong Army, they only knew that if they won the battle, they would be free.

    Regardless of men or women, all guard the main roads in the village and wait for the Datong army to come and attack.

    Unexpectedly, the five hundred troops were several hundred meters away from the stockade, and the whole army stopped moving.

    A guide of the Yi nationality was sent to shout: "Who is the local Tumu? Our army is not here to kill and rob. Please come out and talk about big things."

    Lu Ahuan hesitated for a while. He didn't want to fight either, so he was going out to talk.

    Lu Ahuan said to the Yi guide: "The Han people are cunning, and I can't go out easily. You let the Han army officers come outside the stockade, and I go outside the stockade too. We don't lead troops on either side, so we sit there and discuss it."

    "Ada, I'll go with you!" Lu Tianxiang said.

    Lu Tiande said: "Ada, I will accompany you too."

    Lu Ahuan ordered: "Ah De stays in the village. If an accident occurs, immediately lead the troops to fight out. A Xiang will talk to me. You are a girl with superb martial arts skills. Han officers will not guard against you. If you see me  Clenching your right fist, you immediately draw your sword to subdue the Han officer.?

 Text 507 [Brothers]

    The officer who came to Wumeng to preach the policy was called Zhang Shihe, a nine-year veteran of Chongzhen.

    He didn't bring any soldiers with him, only Yi guides around him.  Such great sincerity surprised the father and daughter of the Lu family. They felt that the Han officers in front of them were very different from the Han officers in the Ming Dynasty.

    The Han officials of the Ming Dynasty did not dare to come to the Yi village at all, and the only few times they were sent to kill them.

    Zhang Shihe cupped his hands and smiled: "Lu Tumu, I have admired your name for a long time. My surname is Zhang. Zhang Shihe is a missionary officer in the Datong Army."

    "Zhang Xuanjiao, I have admired him for a long time." Lu Ahuan can speak Chinese.

    Because the Wumeng tribe is also a horse breeding ground in Shuixi, the Wumeng horses produced here are quite handsome.  Since he was more than ten years old, Lu Ahuan has followed his father every year, taking the Wumeng horse to pay tribute to the local Mu Kui, and often assists in escorting the war horse to Guiyang.

    An Rupan asked his son to marry a woman from the Wumeng Tribe, also with the intention of winning over, mainly for Wumengma.

    Lu Tianxiang looked at Zhang Shihe very boldly, thinking: These Han people are really white, don't they bask in the sun?

    Lu Tianxiang has long legs and a pretty face.  It's just that the skin color is darker, darker than Zhang Shi and the soldier.  As far as her skin color is concerned, she looks a bit like a North African black, like a descendant of a long-term mixed race of black and white, but her facial features are indeed an oriental face.

    Zhang Shihe smiled and said, "Lu Tumu, let's sit and talk."

    Zhang Shihe sat on the ground with no weapons on his body.  After he sat down like this, he couldn't even escape easily, the Lu family's father and daughter could chop him to death with a single knife.

    However, they dare not, there are 500 fellow troops down the mountain.

    Not only the father and daughter of the Lu family dared not, but also the nearby villages did not dare.  Because the village is young and strong, most of them were recruited as soldiers and are currently stationed in Shuixi City. The Datong army can easily break through the village.

    Lu Ahuan also sat down. He has a straightforward personality. Since Zhang Shihe is sincere, everyone should sit down and have a serious talk.

    Zhang Shihe glanced at Lu Tianxiang and said with a smile, "Do you two know about the Datong Army?"

    Lu Ahuan nodded: "I heard this year that you captured Bijie and Chishui and drove away all the Han soldiers there."

    Zhang Shihe asked again: "Do you know His Majesty the Emperor of Datong?"

    "Is it the Han emperor?" Lu Tianxiang asked.

    In the Wumeng mountain area, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and they belong to the land under the jurisdiction of the chieftain. They know that the emperor has changed, but they don't know who became the emperor.

    Zhang Shihe said: "Your Majesty's surname is Zhao today, and the name of the country is Datong. Your Majesty was originally just an ordinary person. He was oppressed by the government and had to bring the poor to rebel. Your Majesty knows the hardships of the poor.  Willing to fight for the emperor. His Majesty also said that all ethnic groups in the world are brothers and sisters. Han people are human beings, Miao people are human beings, Tong people are human beings, Yao people are human beings, and Yi people are human beings. There should be no war between ethnic groups.  , should love each other."

    While Lu Ahuan was surprised, he was dubious at the same time: "The emperor of Han really said that?"

    Zhang Shihe nodded and said: "Your Majesty only has three concubines, one of whom is a woman of the Yao nationality. The soldiers of our Datong Army are not only Han, but also Miao, Tong, Qiang, and Yi. Warriors of all ethnic groups train together  , eat and live together, and fight together. Regardless of each other, they are good brothers. If anyone oppresses because of their ethnicity, they will be punished and demoted, and at worst they will be expelled from the army."

    Lu Tianxiang said: "The Han people are cunning and are used to cheating. Who knows if what you say is true or not? There are rumors in Zexi that the Han people want to kill all the Yi men, rob all the Yi women, and arrest all the Yi children."  Be a slave."

    Zhang Shihe smiled and said: "If you two don't believe me, you can send a few warriors to our army to have a look. The Datong Army in Sichuan also recruited Yi people from southern Sichuan when it expanded its army. In a short period of time, what have Yi people done?  He can command ten soldiers. There are also many Guizhou soldiers. They fought with Governor Zhu Xieyuan and surrendered early to follow His Majesty the Datong Emperor. These Guizhou soldiers were all slaves, including Yi people, Miao people, and children.  One of them has already become a general. Not a general like a chieftain, but a general of the Datong Army, and he commands thousands of Han soldiers."

    Lu Tianxiang was surprised: "The general of the Yi people, instead of commanding the Yi people, can actually command the Han soldiers?"

    Zhang Shihe said with a smile: "In the new dynasty of Datong, there is no distinction between ethnic groups. Everyone is brothers and sisters. In this case, why can't the Yi general command the Han soldiers? In my Datong army, there are not only Yi generals, but also a Han woman."  General."

    "Can women of the Han family be generals?" Lu Tianxiang became more and more curious, and asked while sitting cross-legged on the ground.

    The Yi people in Shuixi belong to a patriarchal society, and women are not allowed to participate in wars unless there is an emergency.  Mrs. Musk in the early Ming Dynasty, and Lu Tianxiang in front of me, were both in charge of the army in place of their sons after their husbands died.Our home brewed fine wine!  "Lu Ahuan was very enthusiastic.

    Zhang Shihe's scalp felt numb all of a sudden. This is not the popular rice wine, but the distilled wine brewed by the Yi people. It looks like it weighs a pound.

    Moreover, the other party seemed to let him dry it out!

    Zhang Shihe held his big wrist and started to drink. After drinking less than half a catty, he was so choked that he wanted to vomit, and his head was already dizzy.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Lu Ahuan laughed, thinking that the Han people can't drink, but the Yi warriors can drink.

    Lu Ahuan raised his hand and pressed the wine bowl: "If you can't drink it all in one gulp, then take your time. I'll make brother get drunk."

    Zhang Shihe was amnesty, and praised: "Good wine!" <a href="https:///60324_60324500/679898821.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/679898821.html</  a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Body 508【Elimination of middlemen】

    There were only a few sips left of that big bowl of wine.

    Zhang Shihe felt drunk, but not completely drunk.  The body began to lose control, and the tongue was a bit loud when speaking, but the ability to think still remained in the brain.

    "BrotherBrother," Zhang Shihe and Lu Ahuan hooked their shoulders together, and said drunkenly, "Shuixi Chieftain, this time it'sit's over, don't helphelp them fight the war."

    However, Lu Ahuan became more and more sober after drinking, and immediately complained: "I'm not a chieftain, but a native of Wumeng Mountain. How can I be willing to fight? It's no good to win. At most, I can grab a few slaves and get dozens of catties.  Grain. If you snatch more food, you must donate it to those Mu Kui. If you are found hiding it, you will be punished. But when the young and strong in the village die, there is a shortage of manpower for farming and grazing. Although I am not as smart as the Han people, I can count  This account. Not worth it, not worth it."

    Zhang Shihe picked up the bowl and took another sip, put down the bowl without knowing how heavy it was, and made a bang bang sound, and continued: "Over there in Guiyang, the army of Tu Most of the chieftains have probably been surrounded, and only Shuixi City is left."  On the other side, there aresome chieftain soldiers. Brother, don'tfearfear the chieftains, we justmake decisions for the Yi people"

    boom!

    He fell headfirst on the table and fell asleep directly.

    It's a pity that the distilled wine brewed by Wumengbu is definitely above 50 degrees, and it may even be 60 degrees.

    No wonder Lu Ahuan said that this is his treasured wine.

    Someone dragged Zhang Shihe to rest, and Lu Tiande came over: "Ada, do you really want to help the Han people fight?"

    Lu Ahuan was noncommittal: "Let's talk."

    But Lu Tianxiang said: "Ada, I think this Han is very good, and that Han emperor is also very good. The An family can't even defeat the Han soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. These Datong troops are even stronger than the Han soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

    Lu Ahuan drank the rest of the wine and sighed: "Of course the Han soldiers are powerful. As long as they don't kill all the Yi men and women, we don't have to fight the Han soldiers. An Bangyan was so powerful back then.  , rebelled with She Chongming, and was beheaded by the Ming army. The current An Rupan can't be compared with An Bangyan."

    The She'an Rebellion caused a lot of trouble. The governor of Guizhou and the general soldier of Guizhou were all dead. It was Zhu Xieyuan and Qin Liangyu who led the troops to quell it.

    An Bangyan, the leader of the rebellion, is not a chieftain at all, but a Tu Tongzhi after the reform of the land, and can be regarded as Mu Kui of "Duoyou Zexi"-the Ming court did not recognize it, because it had set up prefectures and counties at that time.

    An Rupan, who was captured this time, is also not a chieftain, but also a fellow-knowledge of the land after the reform of the land.

    Anyway, most of Zexi Mukui in the Shuixi boundary are surnamed An, and they were entrusted by an ancestor.  Even in Wusa Mansion on the southern border of Sichuan, the chieftain there has the surname An.

    The leader of the Wumeng tribe is surnamed Lu, and there is no benefit to be taken. Why do you want to fight for the surname An?

    Lu Tiande said: "Ada, the clansman sent to borrow food came back and said that the Han soldiers at the foot of the mountain are very powerful. They are all wearing armor. We don't even have enough leather armor. We will definitely not be able to fight. Ada said that it is as safe as a pan."  If we can’t beat them, then let’s join the Han soldiers as soon as possible. All the good horses in the ranch were taken away by An Rupan, but there are still a few vigorous stallions left, and one can be selected and dedicated to the Han emperor. When the foal grows  Da, and present some good horses to make the Han emperor happy, and maybe let Ada be the chieftain."

    Lu Ahuan nodded and said, "I definitely want to seek refuge with the Han emperor, but the tribe is still serving as a soldier in Shuixi City, so we have to find a way to bring them back safely."

    Zhang Shihe really didn't drink to the point of passing out, but he felt that he couldn't hold on any longer. He was afraid of talking nonsense after being drunk, so he just pretended to be drunk and fell asleep.

    He was helped to a room to rest, lay down for a while, and there was no one in the room, so he opened his eyes to observe the situation.

    The rooms used to entertain guests are naturally in good condition.  But he still couldn't keep up with the Han family's rich rural landowners. Zhang Shihe believed more and more what the Yi guide said, that all these Shuixi natives were poor.

    There will be basically no accidents in recruiting and surrendering tasks.

    So Zhang Shihe fell asleep peacefully, he really drank too much.  Sleeping on one foot until the next morning, a Yi person invited him to dinner. When Zhang Shihe arrived at the restaurant, Lu Ahuan's family had been waiting for a long time.

    The rice is buckwheat rice. Rice is not grown here, and sweet potatoes and corn are not introduced.

    In order to entertain distinguished guests, wild boar meat is placed on the table.  Their cooking level is not high, they are simply roasted, then cut into slices with a knife, dipped in some salt and mountain seasoning.

    After chatting again, Zhang Shihe finally found out that Lu Ahuan's eldest son was stationed in Shuixi City at the moment, and he also had a thousand Umeng soldiers under his command.

    Zhang Shihe asked casually: "Brother, do you know about corn and sweet potatoes?"

    Lu Ap; Don't let the middleman earn the price difference, and it's still a two-level middleman!

    The specific situations of ethnic minorities in the southwestern provinces are varied.  Facing different nationalities, we must choose different strategies.  Anyway, it is getting more and more handy now, unlike the first two years, when Jiangxi policies were copied completely according to the script, and in the end, there were always messy problems when it was implemented.

    After another few days of communication, Lu Ahuan agreed to release the serfs and also agreed to the policy of dividing the land.  The premise is that if he is the mayor, he can sell horses freely, and he can buy salt at a low price.

    Zhang Shihe promised that he would apply for the right to operate a salt store for Lu Ahuan, and only he in this town could buy salt and sell it.  However, the retail price of salt must be within the range set by the government. If the salt is sold to the common people if it exceeds the official price, the franchise right of the salt store will be withdrawn.

    Can you sell salt yourself?

    In the past, at least Mu Kui had the power!

    Lu Ahuan was overjoyed, he asked his son and daughter, with dozens of young men, to fight with the Datong Army.  He also agreed to go out in person to help persuade the surrounding Tumu.

    When they arrived at Shuixi City, many children of Tumu went outside the city to shout for the people defending the city to submit to the Datong Army

 Text 509 [Chaos in Dafang City]

    The Datong army that had been scattered went to various ministries of the Yi people to preach the policy, and it was slowly withdrawn after a month.

    The effect is amazing.

    Mu Kui of Mukui Zexi, who was the first to bear the brunt, actually sent someone to contact him when he learned that the Datong Army was going to preach in nearby tribes.

    Then, this Mu Kui surrendered.

    He was willing to free the serfs and give up the land.  The Datong Army naturally gave him preferential treatment. In the future, he would return to the native land, apply for the history of the county canon, and allow him to open a salt shop in the county.  At the same time, one-third of the food collected by Mukui Zexi went to the Datong Army, one-third was reserved for the magistrate, and one-third was privately appropriated by Mu Kui.

    "What? Dare to kill my missionary officer!"

    "Mu Kui Anlong of Zexi, Huajiao, learned that our army was going to preach in the Yi tribe, so he secretly sent someone to contact Tumu. That Tumu didn't know what to do, so he got our army missionary officer drunk and killed him."

    Huang Yao was furious, clenched his fists and said, "Send an order to dispatch troops to level that village!"

    "That stockade has already been breached by five hundred soldiers brought by the mission officer," said Tong Wenxuan, the chief missionary officer.  I was killed to vent my anger. This problem is very serious and must be punished, but there are too many violations of military discipline, and the military judge does not know what to do."

    Huang Yao calmed down a little, and thought about it: "The battalion commander of the battalion will temporarily suspend his post, and everything will be discussed after Guizhou is pacified. Don't worry about it, report it to the Ministry of War, and I will personally write to His Majesty to intercede."

    How else can I be punished?

    The battalion commander was thrown to Luzon and demoted to lead the troops, and the whole battalion recorded a major demerit.  Even if Guizhou is taken down, the soldiers of the battalion will not be able to get promoted, and must suppress the trend of killing innocent people indiscriminately—even if they have a reason for the incident.

    Huang Yao said: "After three days, attack Huajiao!"

    Mu Kui of Huajiaozexi dared to encourage Tumu to kill the missionary officer, so he naturally became the target of killing chickens and monkeys.  If you don't kill this person, won't you chill the hearts of all the soldiers in the army?

    Brothers and sisters Lu Tiande and Lu Tianxiang set off with the army with tribal warriors.

    In addition to them, other Yi tribe warriors also came.  There are more than 2,000 people in total, and they are temporarily handed over to An Hualong.

    An Hualong is the Mu Kui who surrendered.  His territory is close to Bijie, and the degree of Sinicization is very high, and he also knows that the Han army cannot stop it.

    Those cannons, small cannons, and countless armor firearms shocked An Hualong.

    An Hualong knelt down and said: "General, this Anlong refuses to accept Wang Hua, and I wish to lead the warriors of the Yi tribe to conquer his stronghold first for the general!"

    Huang Yao said with a smile: "No need, just watch it. After this place is settled, your whole family will move here, and you will be the canon history of this county."

    The ruling center of Huajiaozexi was originally located in the mountain, but now it has been moved to Dafang City.

    The terrain of Dafang City is relatively flat, and there are many Han people in the city.  The cultivated land outside the city was also reclaimed by military households, but now it is all occupied by chieftains.

    Seeing that the Datong army came to attack and surrounded the city, the young Anwei trembled with fright.

    "Nizi, Nizi, why did you recruit the Han army?" An Wei scolded.

    An Long said: "Ada, the Yi people and the Han people have feuds. What kind of Yi people's territory is Shuixi? Why should it be handed over to the Han people? Didn't Ada forget how many of us were killed by the Han army more than 20 years ago?  tribe?"

    An Wei scolded angrily: "You rebellious son, quickly open the city to welcome the heavenly soldiers!"

    During the She'an Rebellion, An Wei didn't want to rebel, but was lured to a banquet by An Bangyan, but was kidnapped at the banquet.  In order to save his life, he had no choice but to rebel against Daming, and after being beaten violently, he quickly surrendered to the Ming army.

    It was precisely because of these experiences that An Wei did not dare to fight with the Han army, but his son was tough.

    An Long said: "Ada, four years ago, we killed Fang Guoan and seized Dafang City, and we have already forged a deep hatred with the Han people. Even if Kaesong surrendered, wouldn't we be liquidated?"

    Dafang City was built by Fang Guoan, and was killed by Anlong a few years ago.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The moat is not wide, and it can be crossed by taking a long plank.

    Huang Yao came with a large army, and he didn't even bother to fill up the moat, so he directly pulled out the artillery and started bombarding it.

    Listening to the roaring artillery, An Wei remembered fighting the Ming army more than 20 years ago.  The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, but his body suffered a stroke and it was very inconvenient to walk. He pointed at his son tremblingly and said, "Surrender quickly, maybe you can save your life!"

    However, An Long had already made up his mind to resist, and said to his followers: "I am sick, take him to rest."

    "Nizi, Nizi!" An Wei was dragged away.

    cityp; "One, two, three pour!"

    Several slaves tilted their bodies, pretending to be exhausted and fell down.

    Immediately, Yi soldiers stepped forward to scold them, and the slaves split up and rushed out with all their might.

    Mao Yongzhen threw a Yi soldier down, Chen Si took the opportunity to grab the knife, and stabbed with the handle of the knife behind his hands.  After killing the enemy, he fell to the ground and rolled backwards, slashing the rope between Mao Yongzhen's feet with a knife.

    Mao Yongzhen came over with his hands raised, pressed the rope against the edge of the knife and dragged it, repeatedly pulling it several times, and the rope binding his hands was also cut.  He grabbed the knife and cut off the rope on Chen Si's body before rushing to help others.

    Everything happened so fast that the Yi soldiers couldn't react at all.

    Most of the Yi soldiers were defending at the top of the city, and there were not many who were in charge of supervising the work of the slaves.  After Mao Yongzhen and the others were freed, they immediately went to rescue other slaves. By the time the nearest defenders arrived, he had rescued nearly a hundred Han slaves.

    And other Han slaves also launched a resistance.

    It's impossible not to work hard. If Mao Yongzhen messes up like this, they will definitely be liquidated afterwards.  At this time, I can only fight hard, anyway, I will die if I fight or not, maybe I can survive if I fight.

    "Seize the city, seize the city!"

    Mao Yongzhen ran towards the city gate while shouting.

    "Kill all the Han people, and kill the Han craftsmen in the city!" An Long was furious.

    The Yi soldiers at the head of the city were transferred to suppress the slaves, and some Yi soldiers were sent to massacre Han civilians in the city.

    A group of Yi soldiers rushed into the streets, and someone said: "I, Ada, was shot to death, and my body was lying outside the city. Dasu, do you still want to help Anlong fight? Our clansmen have all defected to the Han soldiers outside."  , Anlong will definitely take revenge."

    Dasu, the leader of this group of Yi soldiers, stopped and thought calmly: "The Han soldiers have powerful firearms, and Anlong will definitely not be able to win. Our people have surrendered, and we should surrender too. But we are small, and we cannot defeat Anlong.  Anlong wants to kill all the Han people in the city, and we can save the Han people and make meritorious deeds.”

    Dasu took the native soldiers of the clan and ran towards the nearby streets and alleys, where the Yi soldiers were massacring the Han people.

    More than ten steps away, Dasu suddenly shouted: "Han soldiers have entered the city, Han soldiers have entered the city!"

    Those Yi soldiers who slaughtered the Han people were terrified when they heard the words, and they turned around and asked, "Have the Han soldiers really entered the city?"

    "Come in" Dasu rushed to them and shouted, "Kill!"

    The sudden rebound was a huge success, and the slaughterer was instantly defeated.

    Dasu said to the surviving Han people: "Follow me!"

    Regardless of whether the Han people could understand the Yi language, Dasu led people to kill to another street.

    There are more and more Han people behind them, and some of them are still holding weapons, which they just picked up from the ground.

    The blacksmith surnamed Qi was seriously injured, and he was almost dying.

    Fang Zeyu clasped his fists to Dasu and said, "I don't want to thank you for your kindness. There will be rich rewards in the future."

    Dasu said: "Run, mess up the city, the Han soldiers haven't entered the city yet."

    Fang Zeyu pulled out his waist knife and shouted in Chinese: "I am the son of Fang Guoan, if you are a hero, follow me to seize the city!"

    "Go together, go together!"

    The Han people shouted wildly in unison, they have had enough.

    (Thank you for the reward from the leader who loves loli 001 and loves loli 001. In addition, double the monthly pass, please ask for the monthly pass.) <a href="https:///60324_60324500/679699132.html" target="_blank">https:  ///60324_60324500/679699132.html</a> Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Text 510 [Wild Huntress]

    There are really not many Yi soldiers in Dafang City, only three or four thousand in total.

    It is also necessary to guard each section of the city wall, send troops to slaughter the Han people, and supervise the work of the Han slaves.  In desperation, Anlong could only recruit the Yi people in the city to temporarily serve as soldiers with various simple weapons.

    There were slaves rebelling everywhere in the city, and Yi soldiers rebelled against the water in the city, and all the Han people also rebelled, and the whole city was completely chaotic.

    "Han soldiers have entered the city, Han soldiers have entered the city!"

    When An Long heard the shouts in the city, he was shocked and said: "Which city wall has been breached?"

    Where do the followers know?  Standing there staring wide-eyed.

    "Go and check!" Anlong roared.

    The chieftain's soldiers hurried out and ran to check various sections of the city wall.

    The Yi people who were temporarily recruited as soldiers saw the well-armored Datong army outside the city, and then looked back at the messy Dafang City.  In panic and fear, some people finally started to flee, and more and more Yi people fled.

    "The escapee will be cut!"

    An Long hissed and roared, and then ordered: "A few slaves rebelled, why haven't they been killed yet? Send all the archers and shoot the slaves to death!"

    "kill!"

    However, Huang Yao found that the city was in chaos, and some people even set fire to it, so he immediately ordered the whole army to attack the city.

    Siege equipment has not yet been built, only simple wooden ladders carried with the army.  Fortunately, the walls of Dafang City are not high, and they can be climbed up with simple wooden ladders.

    The Datong army besieged on three sides, and the Yi warriors who accompanied the army also attacked the city under the leadership of An Hualong.

    "Han soldiers are coming!"

    The Yi soldiers on the top of the city shouted one after another.

    Several Yi people who were temporarily recruited as soldiers escaped and were killed.  As soon as they returned to the top of the city, they saw the Datong army attacking and immediately fled down the city wall again.

    "Our people have joined the Han soldiers, don't fight Anlong again!" Another group of Yi soldiers defected.

    There were too many Yi people fleeing, and the military law team couldn't suppress them.

    More than 200 slaves led by Mao Yongzhen have been killed, and the rest are besieged near the city gate.

    The Yi soldiers who besieged them heard the chaos everywhere, and saw a large number of Yi people fleeing, and the shouts of killing outside the city were getting closer.  This situation made the Yi soldiers at a loss, thinking that the Datong army had already captured the city wall.  Some people who were greedy for life and afraid of death stopped besieging and killing Han slaves, and turned around and fled towards the city.

    Seeing that the situation was not good, An Long fled for his life with his own soldiers on horseback, his parents and relatives ignored him.

    To the east of Dafang City is a mountain range, surrounded by three and missing one, there is no Datong Army there.

    Anlong led nearly a hundred Shuixi cavalry, ran eastward all the way, and rushed out of the door.

    "Mu Kui has escaped, Mu Kui has escaped!" the sharp-eyed Yi soldiers shouted in horror, and while shouting, they also fled towards the east city.

    The morale of the remaining Yi soldiers collapsed, and they fled to the east one after another.

    "kill!"

    The morale of the slaves was boosted, and they were ready to take the opportunity to hunt down the enemy.

    But Mao Yongzhen shouted: "Don't chase after me, open the city gate with me, it's important to open the city gate!"

    At this moment, Dasu led the rebel Yi soldiers, Fang Zeyu led the Han people in the city, and rushed over to open the door to meet the Datong army.

    "Fix formation, formation formation!"

    Mao Yongzhen was startled.

    Fang Zeyu hurriedly shouted: "My own people, don't kill me by mistake. I am the son of Fang Guoan, I am the son of Fang Guoan!"

    "Zongbing Fang's son?"

    "The major general is not dead!"

    Some slaves who were born as officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty immediately found their backbone.

    However, the slave who was born in a low-level military household scoffed at Fang Zeyu.  In their view, neither Fang Guoan nor that Anlong is a good thing.

    The gate of the city opened soon, and Huang Yao rode into the city. The first order he gave was: "Whether it is Han people or Yi people, put down your weapons and stop killing indiscriminately. Anyone who takes advantage of the fire to loot will be executed on the spot!"

    "Fang Zeyu kowtowed to the general!"

    The two hurriedly bowed down, and the rest of the Han and Yi people followed suit.

    Huang Yao nodded and said, "It's good that you take the lead in the uprising." Then he smiled and said to Fang Zeyu, "Young hero, how old are you?"

    "Reporting to the general, I am already fifteen." Fang Zeyu said.

    Huang Yao liked it even more: "It's only a few years older than my son, follow me and obey orders."

    "Thank you, General," Fang Zeyu was overjoyed, and then exclaimed, "I almost forgot. General, an elder here is seriously injured. Please send someone to treat him!"

    East of the city.

    All the good horses have been confiscated, Lu TianHow can you run when you get shot in the knee?

    An Long wanted to cry but had no tears. He threw away his bow and arrow and waited to be caught. If he ran again, he would be exhausted.

    Yang Zhan also led his troops to crawl over, and Lu Tianxiang, like a puppy protecting food, hurriedly shouted: "I caught that!"

    Yang Zhan said depressedly: "I will not compete with a little girl for merit."

    Lu Tianxiang laughed immediately and said, "I'm not trying to rob you, I'm just wanting to make meritorious service and become a female general."

    "If you want to be a general, take your time."

    Yang Zhan slid down the hillside, sat by the river, and slowly took out his pipe.

    After stuffing the shredded tobacco, he found that there was still a piece of matchstick left, so he used the burning matchstick to light the cigarette.  He sat by the river and swallowed the clouds, allowing the soldiers to catch An Long, as if he really didn't want to take credit for it.

    This guy has resentment in his heart!

    He was the first warlord in Sichuan who voluntarily defected to him, and he has made many military exploits, but now he can only command 2,500 cavalry—he took tens of thousands of soldiers to join the Datong Army.

    Yang Zhan felt that he was deliberately suppressed.

    If it was not deliberately suppressed, why would he be punished and demoted for violating military discipline every time he made a great contribution?

    Yang Zhan felt that the rules of the Datong Army were too unreasonable, and they were particularly rigid and unreasonable.

    "Hey, are you angry?" Lu Tianxiang came over with a bow and arrow.

    Yang Zhan looked back while smoking a cigarette, and couldn't help laughing: "The little girl is good at martial arts. My son is thirteen years old this year, and he is very good at martial arts. He has no marriage contract yet. How about being my daughter-in-law?"

    Lu Tianxiang shook her head: "Don't do it, I'm 15 years old, your son is too young."

    Yang Zhan said: "It's just right to be two years older."

    Lu Tianxiang said: "No. My future husband-in-law will be taller than me, older than me, stronger than me, more accurate in archery than me, and better at riding horses than me.  "

    Yang Zhan found that he met all the conditions, and sighed suddenly: "I have a family. This Datong Army, it is not easy to get promoted, and if you take too many concubines, you will be fired immediately. Don't hurt me."

    Lu Tianxiang couldn't help rolling her eyes, thinking that this guy is crazy.

 Text 511 [Zunyi still belongs to Guizhou]

    Anlong was beheaded. Within three generations, all the direct males were beheaded.

    The heads of An Wei and An Long's father and son sent Yi soldiers to ride on horses in boats and take them to various places in the south to spread their prestige.

    Mu Kui from Huozhuozexi, Deduzexi, and Duoyouzexi expressed their willingness to join the army, and sent their eldest son and warriors to accompany the army to help out.

    ?Huozuozexi is Nayong County, and Duzexi and Duoyouzexi are Zhijin County.

    Although Liu Mu Zexi didn't see his head, he also took the initiative to join the Datong Army.  Instead of going to Huang Yao to surrender, he surrendered to Fei Yinggong, because Liumuzexi was very close to Guiyang, and he had already received news of An Rupan's defeat.

    The chieftains of the Yi nationality often rebel, but they are not as strong as the chieftains of the Zhuang nationality.

    Many of the Zhuang soldiers are professional mercenaries, and they rely on fighting for the Ming government for a living.  Sometimes they deliberately provoked wars, and then helped the Ming government to quell the chaos, taking the opportunity to rob money, food and land.  Therefore, the two divisions in Guangxi have been fighting for many years, and some corners and corners are still not recovered.

    On the west side of Shui, after Huang Yao murdered and established his prestige, the surrounding chieftains quickly surrendered.

    Half a month later, Huang Yao led his troops to Shexiang Post.  His soldiers fought more and more. In addition to the Datong army, peasant soldiers and civilian husbands, the number of Yi troops accompanying the army reached 6,000.

    How dare the Yi soldiers in Shexiangyi resist?  Retreat directly to Water West City.

    Shuixi City is located in the urban area of ??Qianxi in later generations.

    At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Mrs. Shexiang took refuge in the imperial court and organized the people to build the Nine Posts in Longchang to strengthen the imperial court's control over Guizhou.

    Among them, Guli Station has the largest scale and has become a transportation hub in western Guizhou.

    Shuixi Station is located on the west side of Guli Station. It was originally the garrison of the Ming Dynasty army, which is equivalent to laying a nail in the hinterland of Shuixi Tusi to control the four directions.

    In the third year of Chongzhen, the An family was defeated and the land was reformed. The Ming army expanded Shuixi Station into Shuixi City.

    A few years ago, An Rupan became self-reliant, stole Shuixi City, and used it as the ruling center.  It wasn't until Guiyang was conquered that the old nest was moved there, and Shuixi City was handed over to his younger brother to manage.

    There are a large number of Han people in Shuixi City and its surrounding areas, and the situation is similar to that of Dafang City.  However, among the Han people here, only some military households became slaves, and merchants, farmers, and craftsmen continued to live as usual.

    An Rushuo received a letter of persuasion from his brother Pan Rupan, and also learned that Huang Yao's army had arrived at Shexiangyi, and suddenly became disheartened.

    Huang Yao's army is in the west, Fei Yinggong's army is in the east, and An Rushuo has been trapped.

    Moreover, the chieftains from all walks of life died or surrendered, leaving only An Rushuo to fight alone.  Xiongsuo Zexi and Zewo Zexi behind him were also a little ready to move, wanting to bypass An Rushuo and surrender.

    "Father, let's surrender. Uncle's tens of thousands of troops have been defeated, how can we survive?" Anba persuaded.

    An Rushuo was still unwilling, he wanted to continue making toast.  But the Datong Army offered him the condition that the whole family immigrate to Taiwan, and they were not even allowed to stay in Guizhou.

    How can anyone bully people like this?

    Anba said anxiously: "Father, if you surrender now, you can still go to Taiwan with one thousand taels of silver. If you resist stubbornly, after the city is broken, our whole family will lose their heads! Uncle said in the letter, if not for cousin  Even so, they fought against the Datong Army, and they couldn’t even go to Taiwan. They had to immigrate to Luzon with the whole family. The child didn’t want to die, and he didn’t want to go to Luzon.  Song, at least Taiwan is considered Fujian."

    An Rushuo walked up and down the room, distracted and undecided.

    "Mu Kui, the Datong army is here!" A soldier came to report.

    An Rushuo sighed dejectedly: "Let's open the city."

    "yes!"

    Anba was overjoyed, and immediately prepared to go out of the city and kneel to meet the heavenly soldiers.

    An's lair, Shuixi City, was taken without bloodshed.  After Huang Yao entered the city, he immediately asked the military officials and missionaries to release the serfs as the people, and then allocated households and farmland to the people near Shuixi City.

    Huang Yao did not leave for the time being, fearing that the chieftain would rebel if he surrendered, so he had to help the civil officials to calm down the situation.

    Knowing that Shuixi City was taken, Fei Yinggong from Guiyang left some farmers and soldiers to guard the city, so he sent his troops towards Northeast Guizhou.  There are Han people, Miao people, and Tong people (Zhuang and Buyi people). There are not many Yi people, and the degree of Sinicization is very high.  Even in most areas, the soil was reformed and returned to the bloc in the early Ming Dynasty, and only a small part was converted to the native land and returned to the bloc at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

    In Northeast Guizhou, the lookout was attached, and there was basically no war.

    Even the few little chieftains left there accepted the policy honestly, freed the slaves and cooperated with the distribution of land.

    The reason is that the Bozhou Rebellion and the She'an Rebellion caused serious disasters in Northeast Guizhou.  The rebel soldiers plundered wantonly, and the Ming army came again  "

    "I'm a female general, so I don't need to be literate, I just need to be able to speak Chinese." Lu Tianxiang said.

    Huang Yao said with a smile: "To be a general in the Datong Army, you must be able to read. Otherwise, you will be promoted to the post commander at most. There is a general named Zhang (Zhang Tieniu), who can fall asleep when he touches a book, and he is also forced to read.  I wrote a few hundred words, and now I can read the letter by myself."

    Lu Tianxiang said depressedly: "Which idiot made this rule? When you fight a war, you fight a war, and you're not a civil servant. Why do you know so many characters?"

    "The rules set by His Majesty, if you have any doubts, you can ask His Majesty when you go to Nanjing." Huang Yao smiled more happily, he also experienced the hardship of literacy.

    "Your Majesty" Lu Tianxiang said boldly, "The emperor is not right in everything. It is not right to be a general only if you can read and write. Besides, I will be seventeen (false) in a year, not counting sixteen.  Studying in Nanjing."

    Huang Yao didn't bother to talk to her, and called his adjutant: "Order all the ministries to send troops to Usa Mansion in three days." <a href="https:///60324_60324500/679566246.html" target="_blank">https  ///60324_60324500/679566246.html</a> Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Text 512【I don’t want to go back】

    The children of Mu Kui and Tumu in Guizhou, including the orphans of Ming soldiers like Fang Zeyu, should be selected to study in Nanjing as long as they are of suitable age.

    In Sichuan, Hunan, and Guangxi, those chieftains who are willing to surrender, in addition to being given franchise business, many can also get small officials such as mayors.  Their children have already arrived in Nanjing, and Jinling University has special basic courses.

    "It's fine if you don't allow me to bring my entourage, but why can't I bring my own horse?" Montai complained, rubbing his ankle.

    She Qi held up his leather pouch to drink water, and said mockingly, "Men from the Yi family, can't even walk on mountain roads?"

    Mengtai sighed: "I can't even speak Chinese, even if I go to Nanjing, I will definitely not be able to learn to read." After a while of annoyance, Mengtai pointed to Lu Tianxiang resting under the tree, winked and said, "That girl is so beautiful, you know  Which one does it belong to?"

    Sheqi said, "It's from the Lu family."

    The surnames of the Yi people at this time basically have historical inheritance.

    The person surnamed Meng may be a descendant of the Nanzhao royal family.

    The person surnamed Wumeng may be a descendant of King Wumeng in the Song Dynasty.

    Even the daughter of a small Tumu like Lu Tianxiang, her ancestors were once rich, and the surname "Lu" was bestowed by Zhu Yuanzhang.  Most of the Yu surnames in the Yi nationality were changed after the Lu surname migrated.

    As for the common people of the Yi nationality, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they generally only had first names but no surnames.

    The one named Azhu means fox; the one named Ahai means mouse; the one named Kere means puppy There is also a name like Ergu, which means craftsman, obviously taller than kittens and puppies  .

    This time, Zhao Han ordered that civilians and slaves must give themselves a surname when they settled down.

    So a ridiculous picture appeared——

    Official: Do you have a Chinese name?

    People: None.

    Clerk: Take one.

    People: No.

    Clerk: What's your name?

    People: Ah Zhang.

    Clerk: What's your last name?

    People: None.

    Clerk: Take one.

    People: What is your last name, Mr. Guan?

    Officials: Surnamed Wang.

    People: Then my surname is also Wang, and my name is Wang Azhang.

    Due to the language barrier, there is also a translator throughout the process.

    Basically, whatever the surname of the official who registered the household registration, the surname of the Yi civilians was whatever, which caused Zhang Wang, Li Zhao to bloom everywhere in Shuixi.

    "Let's go!" shouted the Han official leading the team.

    Meng Tai patted his buttocks and stood up, quickened his pace, and ran to Lu Tianxiang to strike up a conversation: "I'm Meng Tai from Mu Xishan, what's your name?"

    "Lu Tianxiang." The girl strode forward.

    Meng Tai said: "We also have a surnamed Lu. Don't you Ada have any sons? You are the only woman on this trip to Nanjing."

    Lu Tianxiang said: "My two older brothers are both over sixteen years old."

    Mengtai said: "Those Han officials said that those who went to Nanjing to study this time can return to Shuixi to be an official in the future. If your elder brother doesn't go, will you be asked to return to Shuixi to be an official?"

    Lu Tianxiang held her head high and said, "I want to be a female general."

    Montai glanced at the bow and arrow on her back: "Can you shoot?"

    Lu Tianxiang asked back: "Mu Kui of Huajiao Zexi, his head was beheaded this time. Do you know?"

    "I know, his whole family was killed by Han soldiers." Mengtai nodded.

    Lu Tianxiang said proudly: "I caught An Long."

    Montai was shocked and praised sincerely: "You are really amazing!"

    Go for another half day to Longchang Station.

    All stopped to rest, and continued on their way tomorrow.

    The officials who led the team bowed to Longchang Station, and were still doing the disciple salute.

    Fang Zeyu asked: "Who is Mr. worshiping?"

    The official replied: "This is the place where Lord Yangming got enlightened."

    "Who is Lord Yangming?" Fang Zeyu's whole family was killed. At a young age, he had only been educated for two years, and had never heard of Wang Yangming's name.

    The official did not explain, but said: "You will know when you go to Nanjing to study."

    In fact, there is no wife in the wife cake, and the enlightenment of Longchang is not in the Longchang post, but in the nearby Longgang Mountain where the Miao people live.

    ? Resume the next day and arrive in Guiyang soon.

    "The city wall here is so high, how can it be conquered in a war?" Mengtai was inexplicably shocked.

    She Qi also said: "Yes, it's so high."

    These teenagers have no knowledge, they feel very high when they see Shuixi City, and their cognition is refreshed when they see Guiyang City.

    them?College students get married, everyone is so happy, and they will brag about it wherever they go.

    "What a spirit!"

    Lu Tianxiang looked at a female husband-in-law passing by in front of her, and the more she looked at it, the more imposing she felt.  Thinking that I can also wear it like this, I immediately became happy, and the female general was left behind.

    The people were taken to a small four-story building, and the official said, "This is where you will live. Tuition, board and lodging are free, but only for two years. After two years, if you still fail the exam, you can stay at your own expense."  Come down to study, or go back to Guizhou by boat!"

    Two years is a basic course, which is equivalent to the enlightenment of Han students.  Can speak Chinese, can read and write simple articles, generally can pass the exam.

    "Sir, do I live here too?" Lu Tianxiang asked suddenly.

    The official said: "You live in the women's building, and more than half of the rooms over there are empty. You can share with others, or you can live alone."

    Of course, boys do not have the treatment of living alone, and they must live in a room with four people.

    Sheqi couldn't help but asked: "Sir, can you not go back to Shuixi? I ??want to stay in Nanjing. This place is much better than Shuixi."

    The official laughed and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't go back, as long as you have money, you can buy a house and settle down in Nanjing."

    She cheered happily in her heart and decided to study well and stay in Nanjing in the future.  At that time, if you marry a Han woman, you will be a Han yourself, and it is best to be an official in Nanjing.

    Only fools go back to the countryside

 Text 513 [Huanghuai Floods]

    ?This year, only some areas of the provinces suffered from drought, but since summer, Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, and Jiangsu have been rainy, and the water levels of the Yellow River and Huaihe River have skyrocketed.

    ? Zhang Guowei, who has been promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, was appointed governor of flood control.

    Now that the flood has receded, Zhang Guowei returned to Nanjing urgently.

    Zhao Han looked at the disaster memorials in various places, and suddenly raised his head and asked: "More than 2,000 people were drowned in Sizhou, but the local officials were negligent?"

    Zhang Guowei replied: "Your Majesty, the power of the sky is unpredictable and it is not human fault. Sizhou City is low-lying. Once the flood overflows the dam, it will flow back into the city."

    "Is the embankment not high enough?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhang Guowei said: "It can't be built higher, but the river bed is getting higher and higher, and the water level of Hongze Lake is getting higher and higher. If there is another flood that never happens in a century, once the embankment breaks, the entire Sizhou city will be submerged, and Sizhou will be destroyed."  Become part of Hongze Lake."

    "So serious?" Zhao Han felt that this matter was quite serious.

    The area of ??Hongze Lake in the late Ming Dynasty was relatively small, but it was increasing every year, constantly turning the surrounding land into a lake bed.

    Zhang Guowei explained in detail:

    "During the reign of Hongzhi, Liu Daxia was ordered to control the river. In order to ensure the smooth flow of the Grand Canal, Huanglinggang had to be blocked, and the Taihang embankment was built to cut off the flood channels of the Yellow River North River, forcing the Yellow River to flood southward, and go to Biansi, Suisi,  The Guohe River flows into the Huaihe River, and the Yellow River sediment is becoming more and more silted up in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River."

    "During the Jialong period, Pan Jixun was ordered to control the river, and he also had to ensure the smooth flow of the Grand Canal. After eighteen years, Pan Jixun built the embankment for thousands of miles. As a result, the Huaibei flood channel of the Yellow River was also blocked, and all the sediment was carried away.  Go downstream. In the Qingkou area where the Yellow River, the Canal, and the Huaihe River meet, the riverbed is constantly rising. The combined riverbed of the Yellow River is already much higher than the Huaihe River."

    "As a result, the water of the Huaihe River was blocked at Qingkou, unable to drain, and flowed into Hongze Lake in large quantities. As a result, Hongze Lake became bigger and bigger, encroaching on the land around the lake every year."

    "This situation was discovered by Pan Jixun during the third river control. After the water was used to attack the sand, he proposed to store the clear water to clean up the yellow. Build an embankment in Hongze Lake, raise the water level of Hongze Lake, and use the lake water to wash away the sediment.  , so as to achieve the goal of the Huaihe-Huanghe River flowing into the sea."

    "But today, a large amount of sediment has accumulated in the lower reaches of the Yellow River, and the river bed has continued to rise. The water in Hongze Lake has been washed away. Not only can't be washed, but it is also flooded by the river.  Higher, the lake is getting wider and wider. If this continues, according to my guess, within thirty to fifty years, the area around Sizhou will be swallowed up by Hongze Lake!"

    Zhao Han asked: "How to govern?"

    Zhang Guowei said: "There are two ways."

    "Speak." Zhao Han said.

    Zhang Guowei said: "The first way is to build dozens of dams in various river sections, continue to collect water to attack sand, store clear water and clean up yellow. All the people in Sizhou City and the surrounding areas will be moved to other places, and Hongze Lake will be left alone.  Expand and let Sizhou sink to the bottom of the lake. This method may guarantee two hundred years of peace of mind, during which it will be repaired and maintained every year."

    Zhao Han couldn't help but said: "This is not a cure for the root cause, it's purely making mistakes!"

    The Ming and Qing dynasties governed the Yellow River, the tactical concept was correct, and the strategy was wrong from the beginning.

    And it must be wrong, and if it is not right, it will lose its official position.

    No matter who is the governor of the river, how many people are drowned, how much land is submerged, it is not their real duty.  Their first priority is to ensure the smooth flow of the Grand Canal and ensure that grain can be transported to the capital by water transport.

    Keeping water transport is politically correct.

    How can it be possible to manage the Yellow River on the premise of politics?

    Therefore, Pan Jixun knew he was wrong, but he could only let it go.  The Qing Dynasty knew that the Ming Dynasty was wrong, so it could only make mistakes, which eventually caused the Yellow River to divert again.

    Zhang Guowei explained these reasons, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the new dynasty of Datong does not need to consider water transportation. It is a great opportunity to control the Yellow River. The second method is to artificially divert the Yellow River, and the water of the Yellow River flows from Shandong to the sea!"

    Zhao Han asked: "How to force the Yellow River to flow from Shandong to the sea?"

    Zhang Guowei explained: "On the north bank of the old course of the Yellow River, there are many flood channels that can discharge floods and accumulate sediment brought by the Yellow River. In order to ensure water transportation, the officials of the Ming Dynasty blocked all the flood channels on the north bank of the old course of the Yellow River, and blocked the flood channels in northern Jiangsu.  All the flood channels of the Yellow River were blocked, resulting in the continuous accumulation of Yellow River sediment in Hongze Lake and Huaihe River. The method of the minister was to mobilize the people to dig through the old channels of the Yellow River, and also dug the flood channels of Henan and Shandong.  At that time, the current river course was blocked, the Taihang embankment was demolished, and the Huanglinggang was dug to allow the Yellow River to flow to Shandong from the old course."

    Zhao Han was speechless: "This is a big project!"

    Zhang Guowei said: "The old course of the Yellow River and the flood course, the local people have to relocate. Today, Shandong, He?As a hindrance, he instigated the scholar to injure the jellyfish empress with magic weapons.

    In a rage, the jellyfish mother flooded Sizhou City, drowned the scholar, and flooded the Ming Zu Mausoleum, avenging old hatred and new hatred together.  Even if the souls of the drowned souls in Sizhou went to the underworld to complain, it was Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Guo who killed them.

    Anyway, drowning a city of people has nothing to do with my Qing Dynasty.

    Zhang Guowei left Beijing with a difficult task. He had to go back to his hometown first and reunite with his family for half a month.  Next, it is estimated that there will be no chance to go home, and I will have to travel between Shandong and Henan provinces all year round.

    All the ministers dispersed, and Fang Yizhi, who had been waiting for a long time, was finally brought by the female official to have an audience.

    "Your Majesty, the hot air balloon experiment has been improved many times, and there is no problem," Fang Yizhi said. "In three days, Jinling University will organize a grand launch ceremony, and all teachers and students of the school will participate. If Your Majesty is free, you can also go to watch it."  .”

    Zhao Han was in a bad mood when he just made the regulations for harnessing the Yellow River, but he became happy when he heard this: "I will definitely go!" <a href="https:///60324_60324500/679302683.html" target="_blank">  https:///60324_60324500/679302683.html</a> Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Body 514【Hot Air Balloon】

    Jinling University, for the time being, only has two grades, because the third batch of students has not yet enrolled.  There is also a basic class for chieftain children and foreign students, with a total of more than 600 students in the school.

    Universities in Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan have already been completed and enrolled students.

    ?Universities in Jiangsu, Anhui, Fujian, Zhejiang, and Hubei will also start enrolling students this fall.

    Publicly funded students in all provinces basically study in universities in their provinces.  However, Zhao Han also let go, the top ten in the provincial examinations each year can go to Jinling University to study at public expense.

    The schooling period is four years, and students can graduate early if they complete the credits.

    Graduates with excellent grades can take the examinations of Imperial Academy and Qintian Academy, and those who pass can become ordinary researchers of the two academies.  After this plan was announced, graduate students were called "Shu Ji Shi".

    "Sister Feng, why are you back at school?" Lu Tianxiang asked in surprise.

    Feng Heng smiled and said: "I heard that today is a very big gift, something made by Qintianyuan."

    At this time, the summer vacation is over, and students from other places can go home.  Some people visit relatives, some people get married, anyway, the holiday is two and a half months, as long as the hometown is not too far away, there is enough time for one visit and one return.

    The legal age for marriage has also been set this year, sixteen for men and fifteen for women.

    Compared with Daming's 13-year-old legal marriage age, it has been raised by two or three years.  Some people must have violated it, but the government generally doesn't care about it, it just doesn't register marriages.

    Even many rural marriages do not register marriages at all, which really causes headaches for local officials.

    Like Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Han also forbids marriage with fingertips.  As for whether the people obey it or not, that's another matter.  Anyway, when someone regrets a marriage, the lawsuit is easy to fight, and the government will never recognize this kind of marriage contract.

    Feng Heng went home to get married this time, and married a promising young official.

    After the church visit, the husband's family immediately repented and advised Feng Heng not to go to college anymore, but to stay at home and take care of his husband and children.  With the support of her husband, Feng Heng ran away directly, and returned to her husband's house after graduation next year.  Anyway, it's not very far away, so I can go back and have a look during the holidays.

    Of course, this cannot be said to the outside world. Feng Heng insisted that her in-laws supported her in studying.

    Lu Tianxiang pointed to the elementary school textbook: "Sister Feng, what does this word read?"

    Feng Heng leaned over to take a look, and said, "Suspect. I suspect it's frost on the ground, and I suspect that the moonlight on the ground is hoarfrost. Have you learned pinyin?"

    "I learned it. A senior sister taught me. She didn't come home during the summer vacation." Lu Tianxiang said.

    Lu Tianxiang's group of students have not officially started school yet.  But a small number of diligent and good scholars have begun to study by themselves.  Luckily, Lu Tianxiang can speak Chinese, and some people have to start learning Chinese.

    Feng Heng asked: "Is it Wen Shufen? She didn't come home last summer vacation."

    Lu Tianxiang nodded: "It's Senior Sister Wen."

    Feng Heng said: "Since you have learned pinyin, you can slowly learn to look it up in the dictionary."

    "I don't have a dictionary." Lu Tianxiang said.

    Feng Heng said: "There are more than one or two books in the library, dozens of books are there. There are some rare words, and even the school teachers have to look them up in the dictionary."

    The two left the room together, and ran to the next door to check, but the girl named Wen Shufen was not there.

    Feng Heng said: "I must be reading in the library."

    Lu Tianxiang said: "I heard that Sister Wen's family is very poor?"

    Feng Heng said: "He came from the southern Ganshan Mountains. The farmers there live on sweet potatoes and corn all the year round. Her primary school was very difficult, and she had to walk for an hour to get to school. The teachers in the school were not good enough, and they didn't know a lot of knowledge.  She was admitted to the second place in the town by force, went to the middle school in the county at public expense, and was admitted to Jinling University at the public expense."

    Lu Tianxiang praised sincerely: "She is so smart."

    Feng Heng smiled and said: "She is not smart, but hard work can make up for it. In the past two years, I haven't seen her play, either in class or reading. After you start school, you will hear her name from the teacher. If there is no use  If she is a successful student, the teacher will definitely use her as an example. She is a famous lady in our school. Regardless of her mediocre appearance, there are many high-ranking officials in Nanjing who secretly seek her as a matchmaker. As long as she agrees, send someone to Jiangxi to propose marriage immediately.  "

    When dignitaries and dignitaries marry their daughter-in-law, they naturally pay attention to the right family.

    But now it is the time of the great revolution, the concept of family status is not so important, because every year there are poor people emerging.

    Although Wen Shufen came from a humble background and her appearance can only be said to be not ugly, but this woman is really hardworking.  And through the school's teachers, her name has spread outside the school.

    Marry a wife and marry a virtuous man, naturally there are wealthy people who want to have this kind of daughter-in-law.

    Lu Tianxiang followed Feng Heng to the playground.The chieftain's children were even more shocked, thinking that Fang Yizhi must have invited the gods.

    "It's not asking God," Meng Tai shouted in Yi language, "it's His Majesty who is casting a spell! His Majesty just let this thing go up into the air, and this thing went up into the sky. Long live your majesty, long live your majesty!"

    Sitting on the stage, Fei Rulan and the other concubines were quite nervous, their eyes fixed on the hot air balloon, for fear of falling and killing them.

    "Father, I also want to go to heaven!" Zhao Kuanghuan suddenly felt that his pony was not cool enough.

    The hot air balloon was still climbing slowly until it reached a height of five or six hundred meters, and was blown by the wind towards the north.

    The people in Nanjing city also looked up to watch the commotion, shouting for friends and companions, calling out all the people in the house.

    In the previous experiments, the hot air balloon was relatively small, but this time it was a big one with a diameter of thirteen meters!

    "It's amazing!" Fang Weiyi praised with a folding fan in his hand.

    Fang Weiyi is Fang Yizhi's second aunt, already fifty-nine years old, and a famous female poet and painter all over the world.  In addition, he is well-versed in Chinese and Western cultures, and studied mathematics and physics very early. He used to teach physics in a girls' middle school, and is now specially appointed as a professor at Jinling University.

    Twenty minutes later, the hot air balloon flew over the Yangtze River and landed slowly in the farmland several miles away.

    Some farmers were harvesting rice, they all stopped their work and stared blankly at the thing in the farmland.

    "Student Chen Weisong, my majesty! My empress! My"

    ?As a student representative, Chen Weisong was sent to the stage to bow down with several other good students.

    The main reason is that the hot air balloon flew away and was completely invisible. There must be something to do, otherwise hundreds of people would stand there in silence.

    Zhao Han nodded and smiled: "I have heard of your name before, are you the son of Chen Zhenhui?"

    Chen Weisong replied: "The students are terrified, and the father and son of the students can actually make His Majesty worry about it."

    Chen Zhenhui, as the fourth prince in the late Ming Dynasty, has always put on airs and refused to be an official.  After several years of service, I couldn't help but want to be an official, so I came to the Imperial Academy and successfully applied.

    Chen Zhenhui is considered a typical representative of the kind of "not eating Zhou millet". After the Manchu Qing took Jiangnan, he went directly to the mountains to live in seclusion.  Not only did he not want to be an official, he didn't even enter the city, and finally died of old age in the mountains.  In this time and space, Chen Zhenhui at least entered the Imperial Academy to do academic research.

    Zhao Han encouraged and said: "If you are good at studying, you will have great achievements in the future."

    "Thank you Your Majesty for your encouragement, the students must be determined to learn." Chen Weisong said happily.

    Zhao Han looked at the girl standing in the front row again: "Are you Wen Shufen?"

    "Exactly." Wen Shufen stepped forward to bow, she didn't know how to be polite, and her speech was not as elegant as Chen Weisong.

    ? Zhao Han praised and said: "As a woman, from a poor family, I know that it is not easy for you to be admitted to Jinling University. A gentleman is like a jade, so you can change your name to Wen Ruyu. A woman can also be a gentleman."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the name!" Wen Ruyu was trembling with excitement.

    ? A poor woman, who studied hard to get ahead, and was named by the emperor, it will be a good story to spread.  If some legends are added, it can be written as a play.

    If it weren't for Jinling University's prohibition on the entry and exit of idlers, from now on, the school's threshold will probably be trampled by matchmakers.

    Zhao Han talked with other students again, giving some encouragement, and everyone was delighted.

    Suddenly, Lu Tianxiang jumped out, knelt down and kowtowed on the spot: "Your Majesty, when I learn five hundred characters, can you make me a female general?"

    As soon as this remark came out, the audience was silent, and then there was a slight snigger.

    As for Lu Tianxiang, who was in charge, she looked like a barbarian girl who didn't understand etiquette at all, so she came here to beg to be a female general.  Many students tried their best to hold back their laughter, which was very painful, and their cheeks hurt from holding back.

    "Get up and talk, you don't need to kneel down." Zhao Han smiled.

    Lu Tianxiang stood up swiftly, with her head held high, and she looked directly at the emperor.  She was actually a little scared, but she wanted to show her heroic posture, and hoped that the emperor would agree on the spot.

    Zhao Han scrutinized this woman, and his first impression was that she was tall, perhaps more than 1.7 meters by naked eye observation.  He asked: "If you want to be a female general, what skills do you have?"

    Lu Tianxiang said: "I can ride and shoot, and I can also use a knife. I am very accurate in archery."

    Zhao Han said: "If it's just these things, then you can only be a cavalry pawn, and you have to rely on military merit to advance through the ranks."

    Lu Tianxiang said: "I have made meritorious service. Mu Kui of Huajiao Zexi was captured by the Datong army only after I shot an arrow."

    Zhao Han said: "This kind of credit can be the leader of ten cavalry."

    "There are only ten soldiers, can I command a hundred?" Lu Tianxiang asked.

    Zhao Han said: "Are you shopping for vegetables? You're still bargaining."

    "Then give me fifty soldiers." Lu Tianxiang really bargained.

    ?This dialogue made everyone very happy, but they dared not laugh out loud, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the emperor.

    Zhao Han also found it interesting, and said with a smile, "We'll talk about it after you learn a thousand Chinese characters."

    But Lu Tianxiang said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there was a General Zhang who only knew a few hundred characters and became a teacher. I don't want to learn a thousand characters, but only five hundred?"

    Zhao Han couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Unexpectedly, my General Zhang has been fighting in the north all year round, and his great reputation has spread to the southwest."

    "Your Majesty, can five hundred characters be enough?" Lu Tianxiang confirmed again.

    Zhao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Okay, when you can read five hundred characters, come to see me with your badge."

    Zhao Han asked the female officer to give a waist card, one-time, and take it back after meeting the emperor.

    Is this fucking okay?

    More than 200 teachers and students were amazed. After messing around with His Majesty, they actually got the palace waist card.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely work hard to learn how to read!" Lu Tianxiang burst out with endless motivation to learn.

    Fang Yizhi and his son flew away for a long time and did not come back. Zhao Han didn't bother to wait any longer, so he drove back to the palace immediately.

    In the middle of the afternoon, Fang Yizhi finally came back, and excitedly ran to see Zhao Han.

    ?"Is this done?" Zhao Han couldn't believe it.

    Xu Zhengming said: "Your Majesty is so smart, you can think of a way to boil water and steam."

    Are you despising me?

    Zhao Han asked: "How long have you been designing?"

    Fang Yizhi pointed to Xu Zhengming: "In four days, he took out the first set of drawings."

    Zhao Han was speechless for a moment, and could only say, "Try boiling water."

    The boiler is fired with charcoal. After cooking for a while, the connecting rod drives the flywheel to rotate rapidly, and it never stops.

    So simple?

    The famous steam engine was built in a month?

    It's too casual!

    Zhao Han felt that it was unreal. If he had known this, he would have had this thing invented a few years ago.

    However, the efficiency of the first-generation steam engine was too low. Considering the cost of burning charcoal, it might not be much better than artificial spinning.  Moreover, the matching steam spinning machine and steam loom have to be redesigned.

    The steam engine ran for half an hour, and Zhao Han stood there watching for half an hour.

    Suddenly, it got stuck.

    Xu Zhengming said embarrassingly: "There is a small problem, I will open it and fix it."

    Zhao Han suppressed his excitement, exhaled a foul breath and said: "Go back and improve, do your best to improve! ?

 Text 516 [Three consecutive good things]

    The working model of the steam engine will be worked out by French physicist Papin in another 35 years.

    But this steam engine is a lever type.

    Another 11 years later, it was still Papin who proposed the idea of ??a piston steam engine, but did not actually start to manufacture it.

    Until the 31st year of Kangxi, the real industrial steam engine appeared, which is a vacuum steam engine.

    In the forty-fourth year of Kangxi, the atmospheric steam engine was born and was quickly used in coal mines, which can easily drain groundwater.

    Watt's improvement is the atmospheric steam engine, which can still only be used to lift water.

    Later, Watt invented the reciprocating steam engine, and the steam engine could be used in factories. In fact, decades ago, during the Kangxi period, there was already an idea of ??piston workmanship, and even the piston cylinder was designed.  What Watt has to do is to design the connecting rod and flywheel, and use the piston and cylinder.

    European steam engines have taken detours for decades, purely due to differences in commercial use.  Everyone only thought about using the steam engine to drain the mine, and had been tossing about it, but never thought about using it to drive the textile machine.

    And Zhao Han proposed from the very beginning that steam engines should be used to spin and weave cloth.

    Under this kind of thinking, neither vacuum nor atmospheric steam engines will be born.  If you want to complete the task assigned by the emperor, you can only move closer to the piston.

    However, it is still too outrageous.

    Xu Zhengming is simply a god. This guy directly produced the Watt steam engine in just four days.  Pistons, Cylinders, Connecting Rods, Flywheels, Spool Valves Everything!

    If you insist on asking how Xu Zhengming designed it, he will definitely say this——

    "Cylinders? To make steam work, you must have cylinders." This is nothing. 35 years later, the first European steam engines also had cylinders.

    "Piston? To use steam, you have to push something to run. This thing is a piston." It is also understandable that after 46, European scientists also had this idea.

    "Connecting rods, flywheels? My flying chair uses connecting rods. Doesn't the water spinning wheel also have a flywheel?"

    "Spool valve? The flywheel is spinning. Isn't it logical to add a connecting rod to let the flywheel control the connecting rod?"

    Whatever Zhao Han did, he was never in a hurry.

    In his mind, it is acceptable to assign the task of inventing the steam engine and slowly grind it out in ten years.

    But what the hell is drawing a blueprint in four days and knocking out a prototype in a month?

    It's like a parent who urges his child to pass the exam, but in the end he gets a full score for the child.

    Of course, many places need improvement.

    From the French steam engine model to Watt's improved steam engine, it has been a long 86 years.  It took another 25 years from Watt's improvement of the first generation machine to Watt's perfection of the steam engine.

    Xu Zhengming's steam piston uses a cast iron core, wrapped in leather and oiled.  After the surface grease is worn away, the frictional resistance will be greatly increased.

    The improvement plan of this product is to wrap a layer of fine cotton soaked in vegetable oil on the outside of the leather, which can prolong the effective working time of the piston.

    Since there is no rubber, it is also a substitute for leather and cotton.  The airtightness is not too far off, the main problem is that it is easy to wear and tear, and it cannot withstand the high temperature environment, and it has to be replaced after a few days.

    In addition, compared with the full version of the Watt steam engine, Xu Zhengming's steam engine is still very unstable, and its work efficiency is much lower.  Because there are no planetary gears, no governors, no safety valves, no pressure gauges, no cylinder outer insulation

    In front of Zhao Han that day, the steam engine suddenly stuck, because the lack of a governor caused the flywheel to move at a non-uniform speed.  Coupled with the lack of planetary gears, the final reciprocating work can no longer reciprocate.

    Without safety valve and pressure gauge, this defect is barely acceptable.  Because of this simple steam engine, the steam pressure is very small, less than one-third of that during the Opium War, and only a few tenths of that during the Republic of China.

    Generally, it will not explode, and even if it explodes, it will probably not kill anyone.

    Let's put it this way, even if a loom that can be driven by a steam engine is built, due to the instability of the existing steam engine, it is necessary to have professional repairmen in the factory.  Turn it around and it won't turn, and small parts like gaskets and cotton layers have to be replaced every few days.

    However, no matter how many shortcomings there are, in terms of steam engine research and development, Zhao Han encountered a rare Tianhu start.

    The next step is to improve it. It is worthwhile to improve this steam engine in ten, twenty, or thirty years.

    In Europe this year, the Italian scientist Torricelli has measured the atmospheric pressure.  Newton is also one and a half years old, a premature baby, probably not yet weaned.

    &nb?? Local civil officials dare not offend, and search for the people's fat and anointing without any hindrance.  The commercial roads from Shanxi to Henan often go down Qinshui, Hao Yaoqi is still setting up a card in Qinshui to force tolls from those merchants.  Last year, a merchant made a report. Li Zicheng personally wrote a letter reprimanding him. He also fined Hao Yaoqi half a year's salary and ordered him not to do anything wrong.  "

    Zhao Han probably guessed what was going on.

    Xu Ying continued: "Hao Yaoqi withdrew Qinshui's business card, but still exploited the people. Li Zicheng probably sent spies to investigate. After learning the truth, he planned to let Hao Yaoqi change his defense. He didn't dare to hand over Zezhou.  This person guards. Hao Yaoqi was frightened and disturbed, thinking that Li Zicheng wanted to kill him, so he secretly wrote a letter to our court."

    "Has this letter been intercepted by Li Zicheng's spies?" Zhao Han asked.

    "Exactly," Xu Ying said, "Li Zicheng didn't dare to force himself. He secretly contacted Hao Yaoqi's generals, intending to trap him without bloodshed. The incident was leaked, and Hao Yaoqi brought five thousand soldiers, goods and rations with him.  They didn’t dare to take too much away, so they went south and joined me.”

    Zhao Han asked, "Where is this person?"

    Xu Ying said: "North of Huaiqing Mansion, beside the Danshui River. The whole army has been disarmed, and the whole family is being detained in Huaiqing Mansion City."

    Zhao Han was very disappointed. A general defected with 5,000 soldiers. He thought Li Zicheng was engaged in a civil war there.

    Li Banghua said: "Your Majesty, you should treat this person with special favors, and there must be someone who imitates the hypocrite."

    But Zhao Han said: "Cut it off, and send the head to Li Zicheng. Just say that I also hate corrupt officials!"

    Chopped?

    Everyone is speechless

 Text 517 [Dashun cooperates with Manchu Qing?  】

    By the Danshui River, a simple military camp.

    The 5,000 soldiers who defected were provided with two meals a day.  Their weapons and armor have been confiscated by the Datong Army, but everyone doesn't care about it.

    If the family members were not still in Shanxi, they even wanted to settle in Huaiqing Mansion!

    ?Every day, missionaries come to visit the villages in groups of 100 people and divided into five groups.  Five hundred people set out a day, and all of them were visited in ten days.

    There are not many immigrants in Huaiqing Mansion, and there are not many surviving local people, so it can be said that the land is sparsely populated.  After the government distributes the land to the farmers, the unowned land can also be reclaimed. It can be regarded as the government rents out the land to the farmers, and then distributes it after the immigrants come.

    ?The hard-working people always think about cultivating more, planting as much as they can, and working hard day and night.

    ? Two consecutive years of bumper harvests made them rich quickly.  In some unowned land, they did not report it after they plowed it, and there were always a few fish that slipped through the net, and the grain harvest was full of pits and grains.

    Another five hundred Dashun soldiers returned to camp from a visit to a nearby village.

    "The farmers here are very rich, and every household has food. The one I went to see is a big earthen warehouse, and the food inside is full."

    "The government's land tax is not heavy, and you don't have to do corvee. Life is really comfortable, and you won't do it for a fairy."

    "The whole family should have fled to Henan in the first place, and why did they stay in that damned Shanxi?"

    "There was a plague in Henan a few years ago, and I don't know how many people died."

    "We are here, but the mother-in-law and the baby are still in Shanxi. Even if Marshal Hao wants to run away, he should wait a few more days until we bring our family with us."

    "Yeah, it would be great if the baby's mother was here. When the time comes, I won't be a soldier, and the whole family will farm the land honestly. I will wake up laughing from my dreams that day."

    ""

    A group of Datong dragoons suddenly rushed into the barracks and called Hao Yaoqi's subordinate general: "You can go back to Shanxi!"

    The generals were in a daze, at a loss.

    The general of the Dragoons was called Sui Bin, and he said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, go back and tell Li Zicheng that you were tricked by Hao Yaoqi. You didn't even bring your family with you. How can you show your sincerity?"

    Five thousand unarmed soldiers and generals were escorted back to Shanxi by the dragoons.

    Before leaving, some bachelors and bastards who didn't care about their families knelt on the ground and cried that they didn't want to go back. They wanted to stay in the Henan sub-fields as farmers.

    If you don’t go back, you have to go back. Five thousand soldiers are five thousand volunteer propagandists.

    Arriving at the checkpoint occupied by the Dashun Army, the generals guarding the pass turned pale with fright, thinking that the Datong Army had come to kill them.

    After some inquiries, the general guarding the gate did not dare to neglect, and immediately sent someone to send a message quickly.

    Li Zicheng, who was too far away, was very puzzled when he received the news, so he called Niu Jinxing to ask: "Prime Minister Niu, what kind of medicine does this gourd surnamed Zhao sell? If there is a general from the south who defected with troops, we will definitely promise you a high-ranking official and a generous salary."  , Why did he kill Hao Yaoqi? The news spreads, who will dare to surrender when the two armies fight in the future?"

    Niu Jinxing was also at a loss, and said: "It's better to recruit people to Taiyuan and interview them in person. As for the rebels who came back, they can't be reused or severely punished. They didn't bring their families, and they were all taken away by Hao Yaoqi  .”

    The two sides handed over at Guanxia, ??and most of the dragoons returned.  The remaining 100 dragoons escorted the civil servants of the envoys all the way to Taiyuan.

    Li Zicheng was also generous. He did not confiscate the equipment of the dragoons and allowed them to travel fully armed.

    The civil official who led the mission was named Liu Xiangke, a native of Fuping, Shaanxi.  Born as a scholar, he went south with Fu Shan, and now he is a minor official in the Ministry of Rites of the Datong court.

    Historically, this product has a bad reputation, being the "tiger skin" of the "Five Tigers of the Southern Ming Dynasty".

    ?The five controlled the government, ruled out dissidents, and corrupted the law with corruption. However, Liu Xiangke still had a bottom line. In the end, he did not surrender, but fled into the mountains and refused to be an official.

    The remaining four were extremely disgusted.

    Hutou Yuan Pengnian, the son of Yuan Zhongdao, drafted a notice after he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, saying: "The tail of the money is the elegance of the new dynasty; the crown of the crown and the belt are the bad rules of the country's subjugation."

    When he learned that Jin Shenghuan raised troops in Jiangxi, Li Chengdong also intended to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, so he immediately helped Li Chengdong plan and took control of the Nanming Dynasty from then on.  Emperor Yongli was once so angry that he directly said: "In the future, the promotion of officials will be determined by Yuan Pengnian." This guy even dared to quarrel with Emperor Yongli face to face.

    After the fall of the Yongli small court, Yuan Pengnian surrendered to the Qing Dynasty again.  Even the Qing Dynasty didn't want him, thinking that this guy is a repeated villain.

    Although Huya Jinbao did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, he became a wealthy monk and often visited the homes of dignitaries and nobles in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    Huwei Ding Shikuidestroy.

    In this case, then take the opportunity to make money and enjoy it.

    Most of Li Zicheng's high-level generals are corrupt, and the hearts and minds of the army have long been scattered.

    After waving Liu Xiangke to retreat, Niu Jinxing walked out from the side hall.

    "How?" Li Zicheng asked.

    Niu Jinxing shook his head: "I have no idea. But I can be sure that the surname Zhao didn't take us seriously."

    Li Zicheng said: "After two years of food storage, we are ready to fight. If we want to march south, where should we start?"

    Niu Jinxing said: "When it comes to fighting, your Majesty understands better than my ministers."

    Li Zicheng was silent for a moment.

    Where else can I start?  Of course it is to hit Beizhili.

    Li Zicheng occupied most of the entire Northern Zhili, and Zhao Han occupied a small half.  In future wars, Hebei will be the battlefield, and there are no natural dangers there, and it will all be defended by cities.

    At that time, tricks and so on will no longer be useful, and you will have to compete with real swords and guns in terms of combat effectiveness and logistics.

    Niu Jinxing said suddenly: "Why don't you make an appointment with the Tartars to send troops together next year!"

 Body 518【Mountain Independence Camp】

    Sometimes, you can't expect someone to uphold righteousness, or even give up your own interests because of it.

    If it weren't for the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Li Zicheng would still be sitting in the dragon chair in Beijing.  Because of this, he hated the Manchu Qing extremely, but he had to compromise with reality. If he didn't contact the Manchu Qing to send troops together, would he rely on his Dashun Army to fight the south?

    When Dorgon received Li Zicheng's letter, he was ecstatic, and the two sides agreed to send troops next spring.

    The two sides fought their own way, and did not join forces.

    Li Zicheng's army left Shanxi to attack Hongnong, Huaiqing, Zhangde and Guangping.  The Manchus entered the customs and killed Tianjin all the way.

    What about the Datong Army?

    Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, two fight together!

    Shanxi's terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Li Zicheng dared to come out just in time, so he was afraid that he would keep shrinking.  Liaodong is too far away, and it is extremely inconvenient to transport troops and food. If the Manchus dared to come to Tianjin, the supply line would be long enough to drag them to death.  Once Liaodong is empty, the Datong Army in southern Liaodong and North Korea can take the opportunity to attack its hinterland.

    In the autumn of this year, Zhao Han expanded his army again, forming the new Sixteenth and Seventeenth Divisions of the Datong Army.  He was temporarily stationed in Nanjing for training, and after the snow melted in spring, he was immediately transferred to the north.

    In the Liaodong direction, there were no large-scale battles, but small-scale frictions continued.

    The Datong Army is learning from the Daming Frontier Army and is constantly building fortresses.  Basically, a town builds a fort, some are poured with cement, and many are built directly from rammed earth.  Every fort has a beacon tower, and when they see the Tartars, they immediately light the beacon.

    In the mountains in southern Liaoning, Han people continued to escape and went to the Datong Army to organize households and divide land.

    ? In the jurisdictions of Fuzhou, Jinzhou, and Gaizhou, counting civil servants and military families, there are already more than 230,000 people (excluding the number of troops, excluding children under the age of 12).  Although the military rations are still not self-sufficient, they are indeed much more abundant than in previous years.

    Baozhou on the North Korean border is even more ridiculous.

    After a division of the Datong Army moved in, the peasants in northern North Korea could not bear the exploitation of the government, and they took their families to defect.  In Baozhou, apart from the military family members who immigrated, there are more than 80,000 Korean civilians under the rule.

    Although these North Korean people could not speak Chinese, they were extremely supportive of the Datong Army.

    There are two reasons: one is that the food and taxes are not heavy, and the other is that the households are given surnames.

    The North Korean people have surnames, they can register and divide the land, and the food they grow can barely eat enough. This is simply coming from hell to heaven.

    ? King Li Hao of North Korea finally came to his senses after purging his old ministers.  He prohibited the Korean people from migrating towards Baozhou, and even sent an army to drive away the civilians who were close to Baozhou, and killed the whole family without obeying orders.

    ? With the Datong army blocking the Manchus in the north, and the opposition forces being eliminated inside, Li Hao thought he could enjoy it.

    Seoul has been shelled many times, and the city wall can be repaired.

    The palace has not been repaired for decades, and some halls are leaking, so they can be completely renovated.  By the way, if two more halls are built, the king can't live too crowded.

    The North Korean people can really bear it. Even though countless people died of starvation, there is still no uprising.

    It's just that the people in northern North Korea tried every means to flee to Baozhou secretly, where they could survive

    The mountainous area of ??southern Liaoning.

    A group of strange sergeants is climbing and advancing in the mountains.

    The person leading the army is called Yang Zhenqing.

    His former name was Yang Fu, and he was a hunter in Yimeng Mountain. His whole family was killed by Duoduo.  With a hunting bow, he chased and killed Duoduo all the way, and finally shot Duoduo into a hedgehog.

    Today, he has 500 people under his command, and has a special designation - Liaonan New Independent Battalion.

    This army has a variety of sources of troops.

    There are good archers in the Datong army, there are mountain hunters in various provinces, and there are Han people in the mountains of southern Liaoning.  There are even Jurchens in the mountains of southern Liaoning!

    There have always been Han people living in the mountainous area of ??southern Liaoning.

    During the Hongwu period, there was Xiuyan Fort, which belonged to Gaizhouwei.  During the Jiajing period, the Xiuyan Fumin Tongju Office was established.  During the Wanli period, Xiuyan was set up again to manage the grain warehouses in Jinzhou, Haizhou and Gaizhou.

    Mao Wenlong once dispatched personnel to instigate an uprising among the Han people in Xiuyan, which was suppressed by Nurhachi, who captured more than 6,700 Han people and plundered more than 4,000 livestock.

    Later, Jierhalang built Xiuyan City and garrisoned troops to prevent Mao Wenlong's sneak attack.

    Today's mountains in southern Liaoning are sparsely populated, and there are very few Han people and Jurchens.  The Han people were captured as serfs, and the Jurchen tribes were relocated out. The few who remained were oppressed and exploited by the Manchus.

    Therefore, after the Datong Army gained a firm foothold, some Jurchens in the mountains were willing to take refuge in them!

    ?"

    "Go back quickly!"

    Gunshots rang out on both sides of the valley, and the Eight Banners soldiers were ambushed, turned around and fled in panic.  But the valley is too narrow, only two or three horses can go side by side, and the Eight Banners Army with 200 horses still dragged into a long snake formation.

    A Jurchen mountain resident who was leading the way was not hit by a bullet after lying on the ground, but was unfortunately trampled to death by a horseshoe.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    There was another row of gunshots, and the Eight Banners soldiers who were unable to speed up again lost more than 30 people.

    The surviving Eight Banners soldiers managed to run half a mile away, when gunshots rang out again from the hillside in front of them.

    After an ambush, of the two hundred and eight banner soldiers, only more than 40 people fled back.

    This is a serious injury, and the entire Xiuyan City has only 800 defenders in the Qing Dynasty.

    Yang Zhenqing pointed to the corpses of the two horses and said: "The Jurchen people who sacrificed, these two dead horses belong to their family. The remaining dead horses, take them back to your stockade and divide them. The armor and weapons of the Tartar soldiers also exist temporarily.  You are in the village. The whole army is resting, and we will set up an ambush in the north tomorrow. After hearing the news, the Tazi soldiers will probably come a lot more. If they don’t come, let’s go to the vicinity of Xiuyan City and pick up the Han people there!”

    Yang Zhenqing was very courageous, his superiors asked him to go into the mountains to fight guerrillas, but he wanted to take down Xiuyan City.  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/678843468.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/678843468.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Body 519【Wise Generals of the Qing Dynasty】

    The guard of Xiuyan City is called Dopoluo, the grandson of Fei Yingdong, the five founding ministers of the Later Jin Dynasty.

    Logically speaking, with his status, he should have been in a high position long ago.  However, although grandpa is awesome, but his grandfather has ten sons, and a nephew like Oboi, how can he climb up quickly?

    What's more, Dopoluo's father, Suo Hai, is still an out-and-out scammer.

    When Hai Lanzhu died of illness, Huang Taiji was in great grief, but Suo Hai even invited Zu Dale to drink and watch plays at home quietly.

    Huang Taiji was furious because of this, and asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to discuss Suo Hai's death penalty, and then he was exempted from death and dismissed from his post, and Niu Lu was also sent away in half.

    Suo Hai not only offended Huang Taiji, but also offended Dorgon.  He set off with Dorgon, ran to encircle Jinzhou, withdrew his troops privately before the fight started, and set up camp far away from Jinzhou City, almost killing Dorgon there.

    What's more, Suo Hai's cousin Aobai is a staunch opponent of Dorgon.

    Encountering such a cheating father, although Duopolo was the deputy capital commander, he was transferred to the mountains to guard the city. It is normal that he only has 800 soldiers under his command.

    "What? In the mountains south of Xiuyan City, there is a large army of southern barbarians?" Duopolo was shocked.

    The Eight Banners officer who escaped said: "The Jurchen hunters in the mountains colluded with those southern barbarians. They deliberately led the way indiscriminately!"

    Dopoluo said angrily: "Eating food from the inside out, as a member of the Jurchen tribe, he actually hooked up with the Nanman. How many Nanman soldiers are there?"

    The Eight Banners officer said: "I don't know. The southern barbarians set up an ambush in the mountains. They fired guns and cannons all at once. It is impossible to see how many ambushes. But judging from the formation, there may be as many as two or three thousand!"

    Two or three thousand Datong troops?

    Duopolo was a little frightened. At this time, the Manchu nobles had already been psychologically shadowed by the Datong Army.

    What's more, Duopolo, like his father, is not a generation capable of conquering wars.  This guy likes to enjoy himself. He has learned Chinese since he was a child, and he also has a Han opera troupe at home.

    Dopoluo thought for a long time, and ordered: "The whole army is not allowed to go out of the city, and quickly collect supplies for the defense of the city. All the bannermen outside the city are recruited into the city, and their families are also brought into the city. Also, go to  When Shengjing asked for help, he said that there was a Nanman army attacking Xiuyan City!"

    There are also Manchus living around Xiuyan City, all of whom are the family members of the original 202 Eight Banners defenders.  As for the military households of the Ming Dynasty, some were taken to Shenyang, and the rest were used as coats and serfs for the local bannermen.  They farmed the land outside the city, and the food they grew was used to supply the defenders.

    ? After receiving the mobilization order from Dopolo, the Manchus outside the city set off quickly, dragging their families with them all to the city.  They took away most of the slaves, but left a small amount of coats to manage their own serfs.

    Yang Zhenqing waited left and right, but he didn't wait until the Eight Banners soldiers came to kill him.

    He sent some Jurchen mountain people to inquire around Xiuyan City.  Only then did I realize that all the Manchus had entered the city, leaving only Baoyi and serfs outside the city.  Only in the important mountain roads, there are some Eight Banners soldiers sentry, while other Eight Banners soldiers are defending the city.

    "Follow me to Xiuyan City!" Yang Zhenqing ordered immediately.

    500 soldiers from the Datong Independent Battalion used captured horses to carry food and grass, and swaggered towards the enemy's city.

    And the Eight Banners soldiers in Xiuyan City, plus the temporary recruited bannermen, have at least 1,200 troops.

    Duopolo soon received the news, and he said to the generals under his command: "The Nanman Datong army has thousands of people, and these 500 enemy troops are not covering up, and they are rushing towards our army. There must be some kind of conspiracy!"  Du Tong studied "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at the age of 15, and he knows the strategies of the Han people like the palm of his hand. The 500 enemy troops in front of him must have come to lure our army to attack. Once our Eight Banners warriors pursue and kill them, there will be ambushes in the mountains. The enemy army  I have seen through the plot, none of you are allowed to leave the city, defending Xiuyan City is considered meritorious service. I have already sent people to ask for reinforcements in Shengjing!"

    "Dutong is really smart, the tricks of the Han people are useless."

    "Han people are used to playing tricks, but they definitely can't fool Dutong."

    "Don't worry, everyone, we promise not to leave the city!"

    ""

    Duopolo looked complacent, as if he really had a plan in mind.

    In fact, he is just afraid of death. He feels that it is safer to defend the city, and there is no need to go out to take risks.

    This guy has fought with the army since he was a child, but he fought with the wind.  He was able to make meritorious deeds and was promoted to deputy capital commander. He was a remnant soldier who entered the pass to hunt down and kill Li Zicheng. He led more than a thousand Eight Banners troops and surrendered tens of thousands of enemies inexplicably.

    At that time, Duopolo was preparing to evacuate, but the opponent surrendered too quickly, and it was difficult not to make great contributions.

    Under Duopolo's defensive order, Yang Zhenqing's independent battalion went unimpeded all the way, and soon came to a village twenty miles southwest of Xiuyan City.

    Around the villageMany serfs stood up one after another, hesitated for a few seconds, and then ran towards the suspension bridge in a swarm.

    When crossing the bridge, it was very chaotic, and even serfs were squeezed into the river.  It's freezing cold, even if you don't drown, you will definitely catch a cold and have a fever.

    "The capital and slaves are all gone, and Xiuyan City will be finished!" An Eight Banners officer said anxiously.

    The main cultivated land in Xiuyan City is in the south, although there is also in the north, but it is not so fertile, and the cultivated land area is not so large.  All the serfs in the south ran away, so they couldn't grow food, and couldn't supply the city. In time, the garrison in the city would starve.

    There are so many mountains in the vicinity, it is impossible for the Manchu and Qing Dynasties to transport grain to this place.

    Another Eight Banners officer said: "Dutong, take the opportunity to go out of the city to hide and kill. Those Han slaves are in a mess. Let's kill them, and the Han slaves will be even more confused. There are only a few hundred enemy troops outside the city.  If we lead our troops to hide and kill, we will definitely be defeated!"

    Duopolo took a closer look and found that this was indeed the case, so he immediately ordered: "Follow me and kill the city!"

 Body 520 [Hollow Formation and Mountain Guerrilla Warfare] (addition for Penguin boss)

    "Yingzheng, the Tartars have left the city!"

    Yang Zhenqing was immediately excited: "It's just in time! The whole army lined up, and the first, second, and third teams stepped forward, holding long spears to prevent the Han slaves from rushing forward. The fourth team shot arrows at the open space in front of the formation, scaring away the Han slaves.  The rest of the guards, all raise their guns to fight!"

    The gate of the city opened, and Dopolo led the team out on horseback, raised his knife and shouted: "I have seen it with a telescope, and the opposite side has not yet installed a matchlock, so hurry up and rush over!"

    The flintlock guns have already been installed in Liaodong. The dragoons of the three divisions have all been reequipped, and the infantry has also been reequipped with thousands of them.

    However, they were all small-scale conflicts, and the flintlock hadn't shown its power yet, so it didn't attract the attention of the Eight Banners Army for the time being.  They are just old-fashioned flintlocks, with a frighteningly high misfire rate, which is not as good as an arquebus.

    When the Eight Banners Army came after them, the Han serfs were terrified and ran towards the Datong Army.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    Still dozens of steps away, the Independent Battalion fired sporadic arrows and landed on the open space in front of the formation.

    The Hannu who were running at the front saw the independent battalion shooting arrows, and hurriedly avoided to the sides, not daring to rush towards the independent battalion.  The Han slaves in the rear, driven by herd mentality, also ran to the two sides.

    "Pikeman, return to the array and replace the firecrackers!"

    The independent battalion is somewhat similar to special forces. Two hundred people use long guns and firecrackers, and three hundred people use bows, waist knives and firecrackers. They can switch between far and near combat forms at any time.

    The spearman in the front row, after throwing away the spear, quickly retreated to replace the gun.

    "Hollow array!"

    "One team, all of them. Look to the right, turn right, and walk!"

    "The second team, all of them have"

    "On the bayonet!"

    The grassroots commander blew his copper whistle, and five hundred soldiers quickly arranged in a hollow formation.  This is the first time that Zhao Han has used the hollow formation in actual combat since he proposed the hollow formation, which is dedicated to infantry against cavalry.

    Fortunately, there were few people, and the small hollow formation was formed quickly, otherwise it would take a long time to form the formation.

    Taking advantage of the cover of the Han slaves, the Manchu and Qing cavalry quickly crossed the bridge and spread out while the Datong army formed an formation.

    When Duopolo saw the loose formation of the Datong Army, he immediately laughed out loud.  He ordered the cavalry to completely disperse and outflank, and use a small number of cavalry to lure the Datong army to shoot, and then charge directly, such a formation will definitely collapse as soon as they charge.

    Although this guy is greedy for life and afraid of death, he has been battle-tested and has rich combat experience.

    Empiricism kills people!

    Although the independent battalion has fewer soldiers, there are even fewer Manchurian cavalry in Xiuyan City.  After being ambushed last time, more than a hundred war horses were lost. Although there were bannermen to replenish them on the spot, the war horses could not be replaced immediately.  Now there are only two hundred riders in total, and many of them are mounted infantry.

    Duopolo should wait for the infantry to follow, and then cooperate with the attack on foot and cavalry, but the hollow formation of the Datong Army is too tempting.

    About twenty or thirty riders rushed from several directions, trying to lure the independent battalion to shoot.

    Yang Zhenqing yelled: "If there is no order, don't fire the gun!"

    A small army of hundreds of people was eliminated with one voice, and everyone heard it.

    Seeing that the Datong Army was indifferent, Duopolo could only change his tactics.  He called back all the cavalry, gave up the four-sided attack, and only aimed at three directions, and carried out wave-like echelon charges.

    The first wave of charge attracts firepower, and the latter two waves of charge will be effective.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The cavalry of the first wave charged, rushed to about forty steps, and ushered in the front row of the independent battalion to shoot.  Due to the slightly longer distance, the cavalry formation was sparse, and more than two-thirds of the cavalry survived.

    After the first row of salvos, he did not retreat, and squatted down to fill the ammunition.

    The second row of firecrackers fired a volley. After the distance was close, the hit rate increased greatly this time.

    The third row of fire guns fired immediately, and after a row of guns, the Manchu cavalry who charged first, only a dozen or so cavalry were still alive, and the second wave of Manchu cavalry also suffered a lot of casualties.

    The Manchu cavalry who rushed to the finish line did not hit directly, but decelerated in advance and walked around the formation.

    Three rows of glaring bayonets stood there, and the horses were not stupid, so it was impossible to hit them unless the horses' eyes were blindfolded.

    Dopolo used cavalry to attack the hollow formation, but he didn't think about knocking the hollow formation apart.  But if the cavalry rushed over, the gunfire soldiers would collapse in fright, which should be the case under normal circumstances.

    However, the flintlocks could be arranged densely, and bayonets were also added.

    It is different from the matchlock gun, and it is also different from the one without the bayonet.

    Seeing that the first two groups of cavalry suffered heavy losses, the third group of cavalry stopped halfway through the charge.  Because it is useless to rush over, the horse will automatically go around the formation, and the soldiers and soldiers in frontsp; What Yang Zhenqing has to do is to raise the binoculars and stand at the top to observe the battle situation.  When they found that there was a possibility of being surrounded, they immediately blew the whistle, and the grassroots officers would lead the soldiers and slowly approach him.

    After fighting for two full hours, more than 80 Manchu soldiers died, but they couldn't even catch Mao of the Datong Army.

    "Dutong, withdraw!"

    The soldiers of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were already miserable. The independent battalion wore leather armor, but they wore cotton armor, and their physical exertion was different.  Many bannermen did not have cotton armor, but they walked very lightly, but they were even more frightened, after all, they had never been on a battlefield, and they only practiced martial arts at home.

    ? Dopolo was caught in a dilemma, and if he did not inflict serious damage on the Independent Battalion, he would be 100% dismissed.  You can continue to chase, and I was walked by the independent camp again.

    "Withdraw!"

    Dopoluo gritted his teeth and said, "Those southern barbarians who are still alive will be hacked into pieces!"

    The Independence Battalion took several prisoners, all of whom were unable to retreat quickly without being shot dead when they formed a hollow formation.

    As soon as the Manchu pursuers retreated, Yang Zhenqing bit up again, kicking the enemy's buttocks and firing.

    Dopoluo was very angry and ordered to continue fighting. As a result, the independent battalion retreated while fighting.

    Really lost his temper, Duopolo led the troops down the mountain quickly.  After leaving the mountains, more than 190 people have lost their lives in the mountains.

    At this moment, the Qing army only has more than 60 cavalry, 800 infantry, and 100 infantry defending the city.

    The most important thing is that those bannermen who were temporarily recruited couldn't hold on psychologically.  Fighting this kind of battle as soon as you go to the battlefield, for the new recruits, it is easy to fall into a state of fear of the enemy.

 Text 521 [Snowy Night Wins the Pass]

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Gunshots rang out at the foot of the mountain, and the Eight Banners soldiers who were retreating into the city were knocked down by three more people who ran behind.

    This is really cutting flesh with a blunt knife. After fighting in the mountains for more than three hours, the casualties of the Qing army almost reached 200.  On average, a Datong soldier can hit an enemy with more than 40 rounds of bullets.

    However, adding up the cavalry eliminated by the hollow formation, the casualty rate on the Manchu side was close to 20%.

    It can't be all blamed on Dopoluo's poor command ability, but the lack of Manchu troops in Xiuyan City.  Moreover, there is no firearms battalion, and there is no way to deal with guerrilla flintlocks.

    Mao Wenlong has been to this poor place several times, and every time he can make Manqing so disgusted.

    ? At the beginning, the Manchu Qing allowed Han civilians to exist, and even the defenders in the city were Han soldiers and generals.  Because of Mao Wenlong's instigation against the Han people, the Manchu Qing had nothing to do with Mao Wenlong, so they retaliated against the Han people in Xiuyan City and surrounding areas.  The Han people were all used as slaves, all the livestock and food were robbed, and the garrison was replaced by Eight Banners soldiers.

    He was also afraid that there would be too many Han Chinese serfs and they would cause riots here, so he took half of the population away.

    Otherwise, with the farming conditions here, it is no problem to support 1,500 Eight Banners soldiers.

    The surrounding barriers of Xiuyan City include military strongholds such as Front Camp, Front Fort, Back Camp, and Back Fort.  The village that Yang Zhenqing first robbed was the former camp of Daming. With the sharp drop in population, it became a small village, and the perfect defense system was also destroyed by Man Qing.

    All these factors provided opportunities for Yang Zhenqing.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    More than 300 bullets were fired again, this time hitting two unlucky people who were running slowly.

    The more urgent the gunfire, the more panicked the Qing army became.

    The soldiers of the Eight Banners could still remain calm for a while, but the larger number of bannermen were already on the verge of collapse, and they only wanted to return to the city as soon as possible.

    Finally, Qi Ding began to flee!

    "Boom!"

    The artillery on the city fired suddenly, trying to cover the retreat of friendly troops.

    Yang Zhenqing had no choice but to stop chasing and rescue his teammates who had been shot and fell to the ground, and the body of the sacrificed soldier was also snatched back.  Immediately, a few miles southeast of the city, he took back the war horses he had carried the food.

    ?Leading the horses, carrying casualties and comrades on their backs, they swaggered away. They wanted to go back to the stronghold in the mountains to replenish ammunition.

    A few days later, Dopoluo received an order from Dorgon: Strictly guard Xiuyan City and not attack at will.

    Dorgon was deceived by the wrong information, and he really thought that the Datong Army sent thousands of troops.  Thousands of troops fought in the mountains for several months, so how much food would it cost? As long as Xiuyan City was defended, the Manchu Qing would be considered profitable.

    Dorgon didn't know that the Datong Army only had a few hundred people.

    Of course, supplies were also brought in, some bows and horses were added, and 50 Manchu cavalry were added.  As for the remaining vacancies, let Duopolo recruit local bannermen to fill them.

    Dorgon didn't know yet that Dopolo had suffered another defeat, otherwise he would be so angry that he would be dismissed and replaced.

    The Manchu cavalry in Xiuyan City once again reached 180, half of which were inferior horses and could only be regarded as mounted infantry.

    As for the real Manchu cavalry, they are looting on the west side of Gaizhou.

    Tens of thousands of cavalry were dispatched at a time, and there were also many dragoons trained by the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  They had to cross the river if they wanted to plunder. Gaizhou City was on the east and a bastion was on the west.

    All the villages and towns on the west side of Gaizhou were lit up with smoke everywhere, and they hid in earthen castles for defense.

    Some of the Han and Korean people failed to escape in time, and more than 800 people were taken away by Qing soldiers.  In addition, the houses of more than a dozen villages, as well as the property that the villagers did not take away, were burned by the Manchu cavalry.

    The Datong cavalry rushed to nothing, and immediately launched a retaliatory action. They took a boat to the direction of Ningjin, rescued the Hannu, killed the bannermen, and burned down the houses.

    Anyway, in the past two years, there have been no major wars, and they have all consumed each other like this.

    In addition, as early as half a year ago, the Datong Army in Baozhou, North Korea received an order from the Ministry of War.  Let them cross the Yalu River, build Dandong City near the mouth of the sea, and immigrate 10,000 Korean people in Baozhou to Dandong for reclamation.

    In the last years of Wanli, Hou Jin built wicker borders, prohibiting farming, animal husbandry, fishing, hunting and logging outside the border walls.  The fortress of the Ming army in the Dandong area was destroyed, the Han people were taken away, and the Jurchens were also forced to relocate. The Dandong area has become a barren land.

    Zhao Han was unable to immigrate to Dandong on a large scale for the time being, so he could only move the Korean people there for reclamation, and build an earthen city by the way, as a bridgehead for attacking Phoenix City.

    At the same time, more than 200 teachers, with their wives and children, were sent to Baozhou and Dandong to build schools to educate the Korean people.Press down the frame.

    By the time they lifted the ladder to the bottom, it was already dark, and there was not even a ghost on the wall.

    Five hundred soldiers climbed up one by one.

    A ladder was also crushed on the way, but it didn't matter, there was snow to cushion it when I fell.

    When all the soldiers climbed up the wall, Yang Zhenqing dispersed the team into dozens of groups, and ran from house to house to knock on the door.

    Yang Zhenqing personally went to knock on the door of the tower, where the Eight Banners Army was sitting around the stove to warm up.

    Hearing a knock on the door, someone opened the door cursing.

    The wind and snow poured in, and the knives and guns came out, leaving several corpses in the house.

    Guancheng is very small, full of family members of the defenders, and there are also some Han craftsmen who have defected to the Qing Dynasty.

    I can't control so many people who are black and blind, regardless of the Manchu and Han people, they will kill all living people.

    The closed door was also slowly opened, and the Han people who stayed in the valley to the east came over with their livestock carrying grain.  After quickly burning snow and boiling hot water to soak their feet, many people's feet were frozen stiff. There are fears that dozens of people will face the risk of toe necrosis.

    Overnight, Yang Zhenqing occupied a large area of ??Lingguan.

    No one can escape, even if there are still people who have not been killed, they will be blocked in the city and cannot get out.

 Text 522 [One city and two gates, I want them all]

    Two days later, Duopolo arrived late.

    They were exhausted and shivering from the cold.  At this time, I don't want to chase and kill the enemy, I just want to go into the house to warm up early, if this continues, I will freeze to death.

    "The deputy commander of the Mongolian Yellow Banner is here, the guard will come out and answer quickly!" A personal guard was sent to shout.

    For the past two days, Yang Zhenqing has been resting.

    Not to mention the number of Han people who were severely frozen, the soldiers of the Independent Battalion had more than 30 injuries, and four of them had their toes amputated urgently.

    Regarding frostbite, the local methods of the common people in Liaodong have been proved by Datong military doctors to be inadvisable and can only be used when there are no conditions.

    ? If conditions permit, then do not rub the skin. Rubbing with cold water or snow will increase the scope and symptoms of frostbite.  In a warm room, apply hot compresses with a wet towel, and soak your feet in warm water after the hot compresses—the water temperature should not be too hot.

    During this period, all the soldiers and common people who could speak Manchu were dressed in Qing soldiers' uniforms.

    "Don't panic, don't show cowardice, the more casual the better," Yang Zhenqing warned, "Remember, you are the Eight Banners Army, you are not the Datong Army!"

    The soldier nodded his promise, dragged his feet to the city wall, and said impatiently: "It's the twelfth lunar month, can we let people pass?"

    The personal guards immediately scolded: "The deputy commander of the Mongolian Xianghuang Banner is here, and the guard of the Dapanling Pass will show up soon!"

    The soldiers of the Independent Battalion pretended to be surprised, and said hastily, "II'll report right away."

    After a long time, Dopolo got impatient with the wait, and the previous soldier from the independent battalion appeared with another soldier from the independent battalion.

    Both of them wrapped their whole bodies tightly, only their mouth, nose and eyes were exposed, and they were not afraid of being recognized.

    The soldier who arrived later said: "The general is drunk and can't wake up. What military order does the commander have?"

    It is normal to drink alcohol in winter.

    Duopolo didn't think too much about it. He was shivering from the cold, and urged him personally: "Open the door quickly, prepare more hot water, and bring a few jars of wine. The stronger the wine, the better!"

    "yes!"

    ? After closing the door and opening it, Dopoluo walked out on the snow, the horse was led by his personal guards, the snow was too thick to ride a horse.

    Hundreds of Eight Banners troops filed in without realizing the danger at all.

    I have been dawdling before, in addition to acting realistically, I was also delaying the setting up of the battlefield for the independent battalion, and now I have all arrived at the shooting position.

    It's a pity that Guancheng is too small, and there is no design for the urn city, otherwise it will be staged to catch the turtle in the urn.

    The soldier imitated the military salute of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, nodded and bowed to greet him: "Please come here, Dutong, please, come in and drink to warm up, the hot water will take some time to boil."

    Dopolo and several personal guards were taken to the house where the ambush was hidden.

    The rest of the Qing army was also divided into several groups and taken away.

    Yang Zhenqing stood on the city wall and watched, with a grin on his face.  His whole family was killed by Duo Duo, and he only wanted revenge for the rest of his life, not counting killing Duo Duo, and he wanted to kill Dorgon himself.

    Seeing that it was almost done, Yang Zhenqing picked up the copper whistle and blew it suddenly.

    The nearby sections of the city wall also blew copper whistles.

    "Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    After the copper whistle sounded, the gunshots followed one after another.

    In the houses on both sides of the street, the doors and windows were suddenly opened, and then a handful of firecrackers fired at the Qing army walking through the street.

    "Why are there so many gunshots?" Dopolo stood up in shock as soon as he entered the room and sat down.

    The soldiers of the independent battalion who brought them in quickly escaped from the room.

    Dopolo's personal guards chased them out, and they were confronted with a volley of guns. The survivors were so frightened that they hid in the house.

    Dopolo was so frightened that he pushed open the window and wanted to escape, but he was greeted by two long guns, and he was stabbed and fell into the snow on the spot.

    Two days ago, the seizure of the city on a snowy night, and today's closing the door to beat the dog, have all gone so smoothly that it is unbelievable.

    Moreover, none of the enemies could escape, and all the city gates were closed.

    Two consecutive victories, Shimen Pass in the west and Xiuyan City in the east, none of the Eight Banners soldiers knew about it.

    Then continue to cheat!

    When the wind and snow stopped for a while, Yang Zhenqing led the troops to set off, all changed into the equipment of the Eight Banners Army, and fled to Xiuyan City in a "worry" covered in blood.

    Arriving in the evening, they rushed to the outside of the northern city. A soldier shouted in panic in Manchu: "Hurry up and open the city, we have been ambushed by the Nanman! Dutong, Dutong is injured!"

    These guys, covered in blood, limping and running in the snow, really looked like they were defeated.

    theIn a short time, he was quickly promoted from a small soldier to a regiment leader, and his promotion speed was faster than that of Hu Dinggui.

    The story about Yang Zhenqing was also released quickly. The whole family was killed by Man Qing, his parents, wife and children died tragically, and he was determined to take revenge.

    After the opera was staged, the novel followed.

    It was adapted by a folk novelist, adding a lot of love for children and changing Yang Zhenqing's background.

    What Yang Zhenqing is a descendant of the generals of the Yang family, and his direct ancestor is Yang Zaixing, a famous anti-golden general in the Southern Song Dynasty and Yue Fei's subordinate.  After the fall of the Song Dynasty, Yang Zaixing's descendants kept their names incognito, and their art of war and martial arts were passed down from generation to generation.

    Today, His Majesty the Emperor of Datong is a descendant of Zhao Song, and Yang Zhenqing, a descendant of Yang Zaixing, also came into the world as a star of Wuqu. God destined him to assist the old master's bloodline.

    After making up and making up, Yang Zhenqing became a master of martial arts.  With big arms and round waist, eight feet in length, and five catties of rice a day, he can take the head of an enemy general among ten thousand armies.

    ? Xue Ye captured a large area of ??Lingguan, and it was Yang Zhenqing who used his light kung fu to kill the Qing army guarding the pass.

    When Zhao Han turned to this novel, he was amused and laughed out loud. Scholars are still too busy.

    However, the prosperity of the novel market proves that the social economy is developing. Nowadays, more and more people can afford novels and can read novels.

 Text 523 [Cao Thief]

    When Yang Zhen captured Xiuyan City Qingqiao, Zhao Han moved into the Forbidden City in a few days in Nanjing.

    Li Xiangjun's official position was promoted very slowly, but her actual status was very high, because she had become a female official who organized memorials for the emperor.

    Before the emperor went to work, Li Xiangjun was already in his seat, and there were several female officials behind him holding memorials.

    The memorials were all handled by the cabinet, and were classified by Li Xiangjun.  In particular, the memorials that are related to each other are all posted yellow with female officials, and are listed on separate papers.

    It is very convenient for the emperor to review and review, and can be searched immediately. It is similar to a memorial that can be approved at one time, which can be said to save time, labor and effort.

    Of course, in order to prevent the female officials from playing tricks, when Zhao Han reviewed the memorials, he randomly selected one, instead of reviewing from top to bottom, or from bottom to top.

    When Zhao Han came to work, Li Xiangjun had already studied ink.

    In addition to the female officials and maids of honor, there are two civil servants sitting.  They belonged to the history of daily life, and ran with the emperor every day, recording the emperor's words and deeds, good and bad things must be written down.

    Which concubine the emperor sleeps with must be recorded in the daily notes. This kind of statement is pure nonsense-historians are not allowed to go to the harem unless they are ordered, and they must not know where the emperor sleeps at night.

    Han Yue wrote: "On such and such a day, I reviewed the memorial at eight o'clock in the morning."

    Then I put down my pen and can read by myself.  Only when Zhao Han summoned the ministers to discuss a certain memorial, would he start working again.

    The wording "eight o'clock in the morning" was strictly required by Zhao Han. Now clocks and watches have become popular in cities, and some wealthy countrymen also have clocks in their homes.

    Zhao Han sat down, glanced at the memorials, and randomly selected them from the pile in the Ministry of Punishment.

    Just looking at the beginning, I was very upset. The deputy envoy of Henan Transshipment was found to be corrupt when transporting food for resettlement of immigrants.  This is a nest case involving more than 20 officials, and it is considered the biggest corruption case this year.

    The cabinet's reply is: serious investigation and punishment.

    Zhao Han wrote Zhu's criticism with a red pen: Strictly investigate and deal with it.

    A memorial to the Ministry of Punishment was completed in this way.

    Moreover, if there is a difference of one word, the processing result will be very different.

    Under the emperor's urging, the officials may be held accountable, why promote such a person to transfer food?

    The Henan transshipment envoy must be held accountable. There was a case under your command, and it lasted for two years. As the top leader, why don't you know anything?

    Immediately after drawing the memorial from the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Han suddenly smiled.

    The old king of Sulu asked for a daughter-in-law for the second time, and wanted to send his youngest daughter to the palace.

    The cabinet's reply is: This matter is left to His Majesty to decide, and it is recommended to accept it, with An Fanbang's heart.

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully, and Zhu criticized: Yes.

    Royal marriage, this method is very primitive, but it has always been effective.  Zhao Han accepts the daughter of the sultan, and the sultan of Sulu Kingdom must be more at ease.

    It's just that the age is too young.

    The king of North Korea is even more funny. He sent his own sister here, a child who is only a few years old, and this is not a nursery school.

    It was not enough to send the girl, the king of North Korea asked for the daughter of the minister of North Korea this year.

    This is a consistent practice in North Korea. In the harem of the Ming emperor, there are often concubines from North Korea, almost all of whom are daughters of North Korean ministers.  Moreover, the Ming emperor and the Korean king occasionally married a pair of sisters, nephews or nephews.

    For example, Concubine Han Li of Zhu Di, whose niece is the princess of North Korea.

    Huang Meiren, who was sent to Beijing with Han Lifei, was extremely nonsense at the time, and Zhu Di found out that she was not a virgin.  After careful interrogation, she actually had an abortion and had several boyfriends in North Korea, one was her brother-in-law and the other was her neighbor

    Zhu Di's favorite concubine is Concubine Quanxian from North Korea, who can be said to be the favorite of the six palaces.

    Even when Zhu Di personally conquered Mongolia, he brought Concubine Quanxian with him.  He also recruited Concubine Quanxian's elder brother to China and promoted him to be the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple.

    But the concubine's life was unlucky, and Concubine Quan Xian died of illness within a year and a half after entering the palace. According to North Korean records, she was poisoned to death.  There are only eight words left for evaluation: pure in appearance and quality, good at playing the jade flute.

    Just look at Emperor Zhu Di, who has so many concubines in North Korea, and you can understand why the king of North Korea madly offered beauties to Zhao Hanjin.

    That is a family tradition. If you don’t accept it, the Korean king will be afraid: Does the Chinese emperor’s father have a problem with me?

    ?The third memorial: The Zhang family in Longhu Mountain requests the restoration of 200 mu of sacrifice land.

    ?The cabinet’s reply is: no.

    Zhao Han's Zhu Criticism added a line: No.  If there are related memorials, all are welcome.Zhao Han, who had been sitting for a whole day, also went for a walk to Liu Rushi's courtyard.

    Doing radio gymnastics while walking, he felt that he was going to be useless, and in a few years, he might still have fat.

    "Your Majesty!"

    "All blessings, Your Majesty."

    Zhao Han nodded to Liu Rushi, then smiled and said to Tian Xiuying: "Mrs. Tian is here too, let's stroll in the garden together."

    After strolling around the garden for a while, Zhao Han lay on the reclining chair and asked the maid with strong hands to massage him. He felt the muscles in his back shoulders a little sore.

    Liu Rushi played the qin, Tian Xiuying played the flute, and the palace lady massaged. Zhao Han fell asleep after listening to it.

    It is winter now, there is no snow today, but the temperature is also very low.

    Liu Rushi hurriedly said to the maid: "Go and get a blanket for His Majesty."

    After taking a nap till evening, Zhao Han finally woke up.

    Tian Xiuying bent down and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Minnen is here to say goodbye today. Your Majesty and all the ladies will soon move into the Forbidden City, and Minv will find a house to live in."

    It was only then that Zhao Han remembered that the address of the former royal family had not been arranged yet.

    Zhao Han thought for a while and said, "You should move in too."

    Tian Xiuying said: "It's not very convenient."

    Zhao Han carefully admired Concubine Tian with the pure eyes of a man.  The appearance that crowned the Chongzhen harem, as well as the intellectual and graceful temperament, concealed a faint heroic spirit.

    To be honest, Cao thief's heart has been moved a long time ago, but he has never been too embarrassed.

    Men are big pigs. At the beginning of the incident, Zhao Han, who was afraid of bad influence and didn't even dare to take a concubine, has now gradually become an old critic.

    Of course, he has been able to bear it enough. He has controlled the world for several years, and now he only has one empress and three concubines.

    Assuming that he was going to move into the Forbidden City, Zhao Han said: "You should go together, the palace still lacks a respectful concubine."

    Tian Xiuying was taken aback for a moment, and then she blushed with embarrassment.  For the fastest update and error-free novel reading, please visit mobile phone: Recommend: .recommend

 Text 524 [Imperial City Towering]

    Before moving into the Forbidden City, Zhao Han received news about the Qing dynasty.

    The information is a bit slow, and it is already old news half a year ago.

    In April of this year, the Beishan savages gathered a crowd and went southward, killing Sauron's troops directly, and even ran to the Sahalian's department to plunder.  The Qing sent cavalry to pursue, but only touched the tail, and finally had to use 2,000 cavalry to go deep into the Beishan area to mop up.

    Beishan is the Outer Xing'an Mountains.

    Beishan savages are a general term, specifically referring to the aborigines living in the outer Xing'an Mountains, East Siberia, and the coast of Kamchatka.  They have very wonderful deer cavalry, or infantry marching on deer.

    The Sauron tribe generally refers to the indigenous people of Heilongjiang, and specifically refers to the Dahaner, Oroqen, and Ewenki peoples.

    The Sauron tribe belonged to the Eight Banners of Dashang, which was a tribe dedicated to collecting pearls and hunting furs for the Manchus.  When the Manchu Qing lacked bannermen, they would ask Sauron to donate warriors, which made the population dwindle.

    Now that Manqing is exhausted, even the barbarians in Beishan know about it, and they took the opportunity to rob Sauron's troops all over.

    Although Dorgon sent 2,000 cavalry, he ran to Beishan to help Sauron's troops recover their place.  But for Sauron's department you might as well not come!

    It was too far outside Xing'an Mountains, and the Manchurian cavalry could bring very little food, and the military rations had to be provided by Sauron's department.  The Sauron tribe, which had already been robbed badly, had to raise food for the Manchurian cavalry, but the spoils they got back had nothing to do with them.

    The Sauron tribe was first plundered by the Beishan savages, and then blackmailed by the Manchurian cavalry.

    The tribes of the Sauron tribe, who dared not speak out, sent two envoys successively to Gaizhou to take refuge in secret.  They asked the Datong Army to attack the Manchus as soon as possible, and Sauron's troops would also take the opportunity to raise troops.

    All ethnic groups in the Northeast have been suffering for a long time.

    If there is no Datong Army, they can only suffer in silence, after all, they have been suppressed countless times.  Now that the Datong Army is in southern Liaoning, they have once again given birth to a glimmer of courage to resist.

    Deep winter.

    Zhao Han sat on the imperial chariot, took the harem and the inner and outer courts, and several teams moved to the Forbidden City together.

    The southernmost city gate was changed from "Daming Gate" to "Datong Gate".

    It is very simple to change, just turn over the plaque and re-engrave the words on the back, and it can save a piece of high-quality wood for the plaque.

    This kind of practice is really normal. Yuan Shikai became the president of the Republic of China and felt that the "Great Qingmen" was very inappropriate.  Let the craftsmen take off the plaque and engrave "Zhonghua Gate" on the back.  The craftsman turned the plaque over and saw, good guy, there was already a word on the back, and the words "Damingmen" were engraved impressively.

    After entering Datong Gate, there is an urn in the shape of a man's penis.

    The ministries and divisions of the imperial court center work on both sides of Tintin.  Officials cannot enter the Ding Ding Weng City directly from the Datong Gate, because the Weng City already belongs to the Royal Road.

    The root of Ding Ding is "Chengtianmen", and the name has not been changed, because after passing through Duanmen and Wumen, there is also a "Fengtianmen".

    Fengtianmen was changed to Yingminmen.

    When the two gates are combined, it means "inheriting the sky and responding to the people".

    On both sides of the imperial road from Chengtianmen to Wumen, on the west side is the Sheji Altar, and the Emperor Temple was also built.  To the east is the Ancestral Temple. Zhao Han added the Temple of Heroes and Martyrs. The sacrificed heroes guarded the Ancestral Temple and received incense and offerings together with the Ancestral Temple.

    There are two large gardens on the south side of Sheji Altar and Taimiao.

    Today, there is an elementary school in one garden and a middle school in the other.  This is a school within the imperial city, officials from various ministries are not allowed to enter, but students who accompany the prince to study can enter.

    Inside the Meridian Gate is the real Forbidden City.

    There are three main halls in the center of the Forbidden City, and there are Wenwu Buildings on both sides.  Outside on both sides are the Wenhua Hall, Wuying Hall and other halls, where the cabinet ministers and Zhongshushe people work.

    To the north of the palace, there are east and west palaces.

    These buildings are further north, surrounded by city walls, where is the emperor's harem.

    The area of ??the harem is about one-third of the entire Forbidden City, less than one-tenth of the entire Imperial City.

    So now I understand why so many female officials and maids are recruited, right?

    Within the imperial city, there is an inner court and many institutional offices.  In the past, eunuchs and court ladies were in charge, but in the future it will be in charge of female officials and court ladies.  Most of them, even if they stayed and refused to leave, they would work in the imperial city all their lives, maybe they would never enter the Forbidden City once, and they might never even see the emperor.

    The vast majority of female officials and court ladies in the imperial city are pure hired workers, and their addresses are different from those of private workers.  If the five-year contract expires and you haven't been promoted, then you can leave with your salary and go back to the folks to find a good family to marry.

    The current manpower is actually not enough. The total number of female officials and court ladies should be more than 3,000.?The garden is outside the Forbidden City and within the Imperial City.

    That piece of land was occupied by many dwellings due to the collapse of the city wall.  When the Nanjing Imperial City was rebuilt, some illegal residential buildings were cleaned up, and they were given land to build houses by Xuanwu Lake.  But there are also many illegal residential buildings, Zhao Han ordered not to disturb them, which directly reduced the size of the imperial city.

    The people who were not forced to move out now often feel emotional, saying to everyone: "Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, protecting the people's residences and shrinking the imperial city. I have never seen such a holy king since ancient times."

    After visiting the outer garden in the afternoon, Zhao Han went up to the tower of the imperial city, looked at the shops and private houses outside, and looked back at the palaces in the imperial city, and finally felt another taste of imperial power.

    ?Lonely and widowed, the heights are extremely cold.

    Here is the concentration of the emperor's majesty, and it is also the cage where the emperor is imprisoned.

    As the founding emperor, he must go out if he wants to.  But the future emperor might not be able to run around casually, at most he would go hunting in the Zijin Mountain, or go out of the city to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth.

    Once you run far away, it will definitely waste money and money, and it will be dangerous. Civil officials will try their best to dissuade you.

 Text 525【Type Chaohui】

    When Yang Guanji took refuge in the new dynasty, his identity was the county magistrate of Changsha.  A few years have passed, and he has become the governor of Jinling, the real power mayor of the capital of the third rank.

    He was very excited today, got up in the middle of the night, put on a brand new court dress and looked in the mirror.

    Before dawn, he paced out the door.

    He is also a well-known clean and honest official. He does not bring his entourage to and from get off work, nor does he have his own private sedan chair.  Walking all the way to the outside of the imperial city, and walking around the base of the wall for a while, he came to a small gate. After checking the waist card, he was let by the gate guards.

    There were quite a few people standing outside the door, all of them were followers of officials, and they were not allowed to enter.

    There are also some sedan chairs parked, which are the private sedan chairs of certain officials.

    Zhao Han only prohibited slavery, but did not prohibit sitting in sedan chairs, otherwise the bearers would lose their jobs.  As long as the official income is legal income, there is nothing wrong with keeping bearers at home. To put it bluntly, they are full-time drivers.

    It can be said that there are almost no officials who ride to the court.

    Because all the good horses were taken away by the government to maintain the cavalry, the rest of the people were all bad horses.

    Yang Guanji entered from the side of the Meridian Gate, and was taken by the female officer to drink tea and rest.

    Entering the waiting room, there are already more than 30 people inside, noisy like a vegetable market, and the conversation is extremely excited.

    Since the founding of Datong, today is the first time to go to court.

    Li Banghua, an old minister of the Ming Dynasty, must be accustomed to the previous court.  But officials like Yang Guanji feel very fresh, and they belong to the vast majority.

    "I heard that in the early Ming Dynasty, we had to go out at the fourth watch." The speaker was Chen Liangbi, a household doctor, who took refuge in Guangdong when the Datong Army captured Guangdong.

    "More than that, you have to get up in the middle of the night." Xuan Guozhu, an official from Anhui, said.  This ancestor was a relative of the Yuan Dynasty emperor, and he was also a Semuren with blue eyes.  More than three hundred years later, except for slightly darker eye sockets, other appearances are no different from Han people.

    Wu Zhenyu, an official from Jiangsu, couldn't help but smile and said, "Did we come too early?"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Many officials laughed endlessly.

    Everyone was very excited when they went to court for the first time.  I was also afraid that getting up too late and missing the court meeting would leave a negative impression on the emperor.

    It's only five o'clock in the morning, thirty or forty of them have come, and the meeting time is eight o'clock.

    ? Yang Guanji found a chair and sat down, sat for a while, feeling sleepy, couldn't help covering his mouth and yawning.  He didn't drink tea to relieve his fatigue, but just sat on the chair and fell asleep, deaf to the conversation in the room.

    Until 7:20, a female official finally came to remind: "All the ministers are waiting inside!"

    The ministers lined up by the bridge, with Pang Chunlai standing at the forefront.

    There are not many military officers on duty because they are all fighting on the front line.  Even if it is an official of the Ministry of War, it also belongs to the scope of civil servants-generals can be transferred to civil servants of the Ministry of War, provided that all command positions are relieved.

    After crossing the bridge, enter the Yingmin Gate and continue to wait in line at the square in front of the hall.

    At about 7:40, a master of ceremonies shouted in the Temple of Heaven: "All officials, come forward!"

    The guards in front of the hall shouted even louder: "All officials, step forward!"

    There was no three-beating of the whip, but the etiquette and music were reserved.

    The ceremonial and music officials played solemn and solemn music, and the cabinet ministers stepped onto Danbi collectively, while the rest of the ministers waited outside Danbi.

    Zhao Han came slowly, and sat on the golden throne in the hall.

    The ceremonial officer of the Ministry of Rites looked at the clock next to the emperor's throne, and the minute hand finally pointed to eight o'clock: "The emperor is ascending to the palace!"

    "The emperor ascends to the palace!"

    "Hundreds of officials enter the palace!"

    "Hundreds of officials enter the palace!"

    One after another, it quickly spread outside the hall, and the sound of ritual and music changed its rhythm again.

    The officials found that there were chairs placed in the hall, and each chair was engraved with an official position.

    ? Yang Guanji's morning meeting frequency is above average.  Because the officials participating in the court meeting, except for special departments, must be at least above the fifth rank, that is, the department-level officials of the central department.

    Following the large troops into the hall, no one went to sit, but stood in line solemnly.

    On both sides of the main hall are the ritual and music teams.

    Below the side of the emperor's throne is Cao Guan who recorded the court meeting.  Cao Guan also put down his brush at this moment, and stood upright behind the table.

    "All the officials salute!" the master of ceremonies shouted.

    Yang Guanji and the others had rehearsed a long time ago, and they all bowed together: "Meet Your Majesty!"

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "Your honor is free. Give me a seat!"

    The master of ceremonies shouted: "All officials take their seats."

    The sound of ceremonies and music became slightly soothing, and the official?Master, you speak.  "

    Ai Julian is considered the most proficient in Confucianism among all the missionaries.  Even his Confucianism recuperation can crush many Ming scholars.  He advocated the integration of Christianity and Confucianism, and advocated respect for the customs of Han Chinese believers. Therefore, when the missionaries were expelled, Aurelius was not affected in the slightest, and now he has become a master of Qintian Academy.

    The Italian old man dressed in the official mansion, bowed to Zhao Han, and bowed to all the officials: "Your Majesty, the earth is indeed a sphere. There is a sun in nine days, just like a king. The earth and the five stars all revolve around the sun, and they are like the people.  The minister defends the king. Your Majesty is the sun, which shines brightly. The people are all things, and only when the sun shines can they prosper."

    "well said!"

    Zhao Han accepted the flattery and said with a smile, "Tell the officials again, what countries are there in the West?"

    Aurelius began to popularize science among officials: "There are island countries in the far west, which are called England and Scotland. There are also continents, and there are many small countries. France, Prussia, Spain, Portugal, Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Rakshasa, Poland  And so on. In the Near East, there are Ottomans, Persians, Mughals"

    All the officials listened carefully.

    Zhao Han asked: "Which countries are the strongest?"

    Ai Julius said: "For the western countries, if you talk about the army, France is the strongest, and if you talk about the navy, the Netherlands is the strongest. There is also the Raksha country, which has a vast territory, bitter cold and barren, and has a large number of troops. The Ottomans, Persians and others in the Near East  The Mughals are all countries that are slightly inferior to my Datong China."

    Yang Guanji was confused and couldn't help raising his hand.

    Zhao Han said: "Please tell me."

    Yang Guanji immediately asked: "Mr. Ai, I have heard about Persia. Where are these Ottomans and Mughals?"

    Ai Julian explained: "The Mughals are in Tianzhu, and the monarch of this country is a descendant of Genghis Khan. As for Ottoman, it covers half of the Mediterranean Sea, and its land location is the big food country in Chinese history books."

    "Dashi, Persia, and Tianzhu, so that's how it is." Yang Guanji understood a little bit, and asked again, "Which of these three countries is the strongest?"

    Ai Julian said: "Persia is caught in the middle, and most of the land is annexed by other two countries."

    Another official raised his hand, and was allowed by Zhao Han to ask: "How does the land of the Three Kingdoms compare with my court in Datong?"

    Ai Julius replied: "The size of our country today is comparable to that of Mughal, slightly larger than Persia, and certainly not as good as Ottoman."

    "Hiss!"

    All the ministers gasped.

    "Is the land fertile in these countries?"

    "Some are fertile and some are barren. The land of Tianzhu seems to be fertile. The quality of cotton produced there is better than that of Lumian."

    "Is Tianzhu cotton better than Lumian?"

    "That's true. English merchants bought more cotton from India."

    "Where is the Raksha country? The name of this country is quite interesting."

    ""

    Zhao Han was very pleased with the results of this court meeting and banquet, and the global vision of the officials was illuminated.

 Body 526 [Lantern Festival]

    In the fourth year of the first year of the Republic of China, it was 4342 in the lunar calendar and 1645 in the western calendar.

    ? According to the original history, the Manchu Qing army at this time had already occupied the entire north, and only part of the territory in Hubei remained in the Dashun Dynasty.  Zuo Liangyu was at the side of the Qing emperor, and Zhang Xianzhong was fighting hard with Nanming in Sichuan.

    By the way, Tsarist Russia is here!

    Although the most eastern city built by Tsarist Russia is Ust-Kut in the northwest of Lake Baikal.  However, a group of one hundred Cossack cavalry rushed all the way to the mouth of Heilongjiang.

    The population along the way was not much left by the Qing Dynasty, and the Cossack cavalry seemed to be in a land of no one.

    They don't want food, they only grab what they can eat in the short term.

    The aborigines didn't have gold and silver for them to grab, so they stared at the fur.  Order the Beishan savages, Sauron natives, and Sakhalian natives along the way to offer furs that should have been left to the Qing Dynasty.

    Tsarist Russia expanded thousands of kilometers in Siberia, and the driving force was to obtain fur.

    At this time, it was the Little Ice Age, Europe was frighteningly cold, and fur was very expensive.  The fur business was the mainstay of Tsarist Russia's economy. It relied entirely on selling fur to support the army, and it relied entirely on selling fur for the squandering of the royal family.

    In the first half of last year, Beishan Savage came to grab a trip.

    In the second half of last year, the Tsarist Russian Cossack cavalry came again, and the robbery route was pretty similar.

    The Manchu nobles were very angry and sent cavalry to pursue them again.

    However, the Tsarist Russian cavalry had already slipped away, and they couldn't even touch their hair.  The Cossack cavalry only lost two people, and they retreated all the way to Lake Baikal, loaded with stolen furs.

    During the New Year, the Ministry of War sent an emergency military situation.

    "Your Majesty, the puppet emperor of Yunnan has removed himself from the title of emperor, and brought Mu Tianbo to request to join us!"

    "what happened?"

    Zhao Han was very surprised when he heard that, he snatched the military newspaper, only to find out that the emperor in Yunnan was killed by the chieftain and fled in a hurry, and Kunming had already been occupied by the chieftain army.

    The chieftain of the rebellion was called Sha Dingzhou.

    Sha Dingzhou's father is Sha Yuan. During the Wanli period, he made great contributions in resisting Annan's invasion.  Since Annan's lawsuit has been abolished, all the territory under the jurisdiction of Annan's court was awarded to Sha Yuan by the imperial court.

    That piece of land is Mengzi, Yunnan.

    During the reign of Tianqi, during the rebellion of She'an, Shayuan made great contributions again, and was promoted by the imperial court to be a Xuanfu envoy.

    During the reign of Chongzhen, the chieftain of Yunnan rebelled from time to time.  Under the guise of countering the rebellion, Sha Yuan kept looting the surrounding area and accumulated countless money and food.

    After Sha Yuan's death, the eldest son Sha Dinghai succeeded to the throne. Because of his incompetence, the chieftain of the Sha family gradually declined.

    The reputation of Tu Zhizhou in Ami Prefecture is not a Tusi, but better than a Tusi.  After this person died, his wife Wan Shi remarried to Sha Dinghai.  The second son, Sha Dingzhou, secretly had an affair with this sister-in-law, and the two conspired to expel Sha Dinghai and stand on his own.

    After the adulterous uncle and sister-in-law expelled Sha Dinghai, they murdered Wan and his first husband's son, directly annexing Ami Prefecture in essence.

    In other words, in order to help his lover, Wan expelled his second husband and killed himself and his original son!

    Thus, Sha Dingzhou owned two chieftain territories, and loyally helped Mu Tianbo fight the war.  Mu Tianbo never expected that Sha Dingzhou would rebel, and he had no defense against this guy at all.

    Last winter, Sha Dingzhou suddenly raised troops, and like his dead father, he has been using the pretense of calming down the chaos.

    Mu Tianbo was still very happy, feeling that Sha Dingzhou was really loyal and took the initiative to help the court put down the rebellion.  In the end, all the way to the outside of Kunming city, Mu Tianbo was caught off guard, and quickly fled with the emperor and ministers.

    They counterattacked many times, but were repelled by Sha Dingzhou, so they had to retreat to the border of Yunnan and Guizhou, and asked to surrender to the Datong court.

    Historically, Mu Tianbo fought for two or three years, but he had no choice but to take Sha Dingzhou, and Sha Dingzhou even counterattacked into Guizhou.  It was Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo who defeated Sha Dingzhou and helped the small court of Nanming regain Kunming.

    After discussing with the ministers of the cabinet, Zhao Han immediately gave a reply: accept the surrender of the puppet emperor of Yunnan and Mu Tianbo, but cut off all their titles and official positions.  If they wanted to be officials, they had to come to Nanjing to receive ideological education, and they could start as mayors in the future.  As for their land, it will be distributed to the farmers according to the rules in the future, but each of them is allowed to keep 20 mu more.

    As for the treasures and food, hehe, they ran away in a hurry, and they were all taken by Shadingzhou.

    Today Mu Tianbo still has more than ten thousand troops, but he can't even pay the army's salary. The soldiers are all hungry and waiting for food.  Mu Tianbo couldn't hold back any longer. Many officers led troops to plunder everywhere in northern Yunnan, just to grab a bite to eat.

    The imperial court's reply was sent to Yunnan immediately, Zhao Han and the ministers didn't care whether the puppet emperor and Mu Tianbo accepted it or not.

    What can a group of underdogs be worth?; Zhu Cihong has just turned sixteen, and was not admitted to Jinling University last year.  But Zhao Han lent him money so that Zhu Cihong could go to university at his own expense. As long as he got a diploma, he would get the same diploma from now on.

    Auntie Zhu is also fifteen years old, and she has grown into a graceful figure, her academic performance can only be considered average.

    The younger brother stood in front of the booth, and seemed to see a gadget.

    Zhu Cihong bought it with a smile, and bought some things for other younger brothers and sisters.  The emperor lent him ten taels of silver, and the purchasing power of the silver was quite sufficient. As long as it wasn't a luxury, they could spend it as they wanted tonight.

    "Brother," Auntie Zhu said with a smile while holding a lantern, "When I make money in the future, I will pay back the money His Majesty borrowed with you."

    Several French envoys stood dumbfounded in the street market, drawing a cross on their chests and said, "God, have we arrived in your country?"

    These French envoys were sent by Louis XIII.

    They still don't know that the king is dead, and the current king of France is the young Louis XIV.

    The leader of the mission was stuck in the crowd and moved forward with difficulty: "It's unbelievable, it seems that half of France has so many people crowded into one city tonight."

    Of course not so many. Although Europe is sparsely populated, France and Italy have very high population densities.

    "Whoo~~~Boom!"

    "Whoo~~~Boom!"

    Over the Forbidden City, the second round of fireworks was set off. This year's Lantern Festival is very lively.?

 Body 527【DArtagnan】

    The Lantern Festival lasts for ten days.

    Charlie still remembers the splendor of the whole city, as if he was in heaven. This is a grand event that cannot be seen in Paris.

    After the Lantern Festival holiday ended, the Chinese emperor began to work, and the French envoys were also summoned.

    Charlie followed the earl into the imperial city, and his musket was also confiscated when he entered the palace.

    They walked along the palace wall and passed through winding or wide stone roads.  It was like walking in a maze for twenty minutes, and there seemed to be no sign of reaching the end point at all.

    How spacious is the palace of the Chinese emperor?

    Charlie's full name is Charlie de Buzz Castelmer.  His father was a nobleman, his mother was also a nobleman, and her mother's title was Countess d'Artagnan.

    This product is the prototype of the male protagonist!

    The real Charlie, of course, cannot be the jealous d'Artagnan.  This guy can make a fortune, and he is the successor of Richelieu, Mazarin.  After the disbandment of the Musketeers, he directly became Mazarin's retainer, and was immediately recommended to the Queen Mother as the captain of the guard.

    It's a pity that he is a foreign aristocrat, and he cannot be the captain of the palace guard according to the rules, so he spent a lot of money to buy another official position.

    At this time in France, most official positions can be inherited, gifted, and resold.

    Charlie later served as the captain of the musketeers, which was also bought with money.  When they wanted to be promoted, they sold their original position and raised some money to buy a higher position.

    Walking in front of Charlie was the leader of the French envoy: Henri-Louis de Bourbon, a minor nobleman with swords from a branch of the Bourbon family.

    There are two types of French nobility today, one is the nobility in robes and the other is the nobility with swords.

    The robed aristocracy was born with the bourgeoisie, consisting of factory owners, farmers, wealthy farmers, and traditional aristocrats.  They contract local taxation, lend money to the state, or spend money to buy officials, mainly as judges and other positions.  Judges can also be hereditary, or sold out.

    Saber nobles are traditional nobles.

    Under Richelieu's reforms, there was only one official position in France that could not be hereditary and bought and sold, that is: Minister of Envoy!

    Henry's mind was almost dizzy, and he finally saw the three halls from a distance.

    The wide square and tall palaces give people a strong sense of visual impact, and the majesty of the imperial power makes Henry have the urge to kneel down.

    In Europe, there are also kneeling salutes.

    Especially in France, etiquette is particularly strict and repetitive.  For example, if a local nobleman is lucky enough to attend the banquet at the Palace of Versailles, he is only eligible to sit on a canvas folding stool, and only to sit on a wooden chair at the local nobleman's dinner party.

    Both Henry and Charlie are not doing well at this time, otherwise they would not have traveled thousands of miles to China.

    Too far away, easy to die!

    Every time a certain distance is passed, those responsible for leading the way for the envoys will be handed over and changed. Only the civil servants of the Ministry of Rites have not changed.

    In the end, the emperor's maidservants led them to Jinshen Hall.

    "French envoy Henri-Louis de Bourbon, pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of China, and on behalf of the King of France, extends his most respectful greetings to His Majesty." Henry put his arms on his chest and bowed to the Emperor of China.

    Charlie, the captain of the guard, also bowed and saluted.

    After getting the translation, Zhao Han smiled and nodded: "Give me a seat."

    Zhao Han had read it, it was a world famous book, but he really didn't know that the hero was right in front of him.

    Henry began to speak on the scene: "Great Majesty, when we arrived in Malacca, we heard that China had defeated Spain. This is really good news. France and Spain are also enemies. China and France have a common enemy. I think it can be a firm  ally."

    Zhao Han said: "I prefer to use the definition of friends. China and the Netherlands are friends, France and the Netherlands are also friends, and friends of friends are friends."

    "Your Majesty is really wise." Henry flattered.

    After withdrawing for a long time, Henry finally explained his intentions: "Your Majesty, France hopes to do business with China and set up a French trading post in Guangzhou. Your Majesty, please bestow a piece of land in Guangzhou."

    Zhao Han said: "France can set up trading posts, but they can't get land grants. A deserted seaside beach in Guangzhou can be leased to France. You can pay to hire local people to build a French trading post."

    Henry asked: "French merchant ships, can you buy goods in Guangzhou at will?"

    "Of course." Zhao Han affirmed.

    Henry stood up excitedly: "Your Majesty, benevolent and generous, may the Lord bless you!"

    The main colonial direction of France is North America and Africanbsp;The man blushed immediately, and everyone burst into laughter.

    Charlie whispered: "This kind of magic box can be bought and dedicated to the king."

    Henry's eyes lit up: "Yes, the king must be happy!"

    The two felt that this trip to China was the beginning of a change in their destiny.  There are many novelties, which are not found in Europe. Not only can they be presented to the king for appreciation, but they can also be bought back and resold to make a lot of money.

    Henry is poor, Charlie is rich, his parents are local nobles, and he will be able to inherit two fiefdoms in the future.

    In the novel, d'Artagnan, who is jealous and hateful, is especially good at exploiting in reality.  He later trained his two cousins, one as a French marshal and the other as a musketeer captain.  Two sons, one became the captain of the infantry guards and the other the captain of the cavalry guards.  It is equivalent to rounding up the French royal guard and army!

    The two thought of the idea of ??pleasing the king, so they searched for new gadgets all over the city. Presumably, the Chinese style in France will blow even more violently.

 Body 528【The Theology of Great Harmony】

    Jinshen Temple.

    Zhao Han likes to come here to rest at noon, or take a nap, or read some idle books for entertainment.

    ? What I read today is "The History of the Christian Expedition to China".  This was the task for the European officials of the Imperial Academy and the Qintian Academy, to let the East India Company bring Western books and hand them over to missionary officials for translation.

    This book is actually Matteo Ricci's work report, which was brought back to Rome for the Pope to read. Matteo Ricci did not give any title.

    Another missionary, Jin Nige, added updates and annotations to this report, and wrote an inscription on the cover: The History of the Christian Expedition to China by Father Matteo Ricci, a Jesuit, Five Volumes of Conference Records, To Pope Paul V

    Zhao Han read this book because he wanted to see China's strengths and weaknesses from a European perspective.

    From the title of the book, we can see the wolfish ambition of the European guys. At the beginning of the book, Jinnige said that large-scale expeditions and vigorous feats are done after various conditions are ripe. The first things are insignificant, but after many years  will develop into something important.

    What do you mean?

    It is to regard the mission of the Jesuits in China as an insignificant but necessary beginning to conquer China.

    At the same time, Kinnige was in awe of China and evaluated China as a "noble nation".

    Matteo Ricci's text is very systematic. The opening chapter tells about the history and geography of China, combined with ancient European classics, and tells about the evolution of Chinese titles.  Some content contained bragging elements, such as the fact that Chinese people, rich or poor, wear silk clothes.

    Some of the content was very funny, making Zhao Han laugh out loud.

    For example, Matteo Ricci has been an official in Beijing for many years, and he has only bowed down to the emperor's throne.  He had never met Emperor Wanli, because Wanli didn't go to court at all, and he rarely met ministers in private.

    I have to say that Wanli is really bad enough, and the Ming Dynasty government was completely corrupted by this person.

    Don't talk about the three major Wanli levies. Since he neglected his administration, many state departments have begun to shut down, and the Ming court has been systematically damaged.

    In fact, if Wanli had only neglected his administration, Ming Dynasty would not have declined rapidly.

    This guy is angry with the civil officials, deliberately does not cooperate with the work of the civil officials, and even after the official dies of illness or retires, he does not sign a new official to take office.  As a result, there is a large shortage of ministerial-level officials in the central government, and there are not many department-level officials to do things. Some departments have no officials at all, and even the official seal of this department has been lost.

    The Wanli emperor was bad, and the civil officials followed.

    He has been negligent for so many years, and he was still able to control the court, and there were no powerful officials. It was not because of Wanli's brilliant political methods, but because the Ming court was so bad that there was no environment for powerful officials to appear.  What the minister of power wanted to do was to collude with the eunuch who held the pen. Without the signature of the eunuch and the emperor's seal, the minister of power could not accomplish anything.

    Moreover, who can the powerful minister command?

    Looking around, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Nima, why am I the only one in the cabinet, and half of the six ministers are missing?  Hey, why are there so many lack of people in the left and right ministers and the doctors of the various ministries who are really in charge?

    The central ministers in the last years of Wanli didn't even follow the etiquette.  Even in the highest-level sacrificial activity, not only did the officials not fast and bathe, but they also drank alcohol on the day of the sacrificial ceremony, and even went missing directly.  Worshiping the heaven and the earth often turns into an outing, and you can also bring your servants and cakes.

    Worshiping heaven and earth dare to play like this, what else is there not to dare to do?

    Anyway, the emperor didn't care, the procuratorate was in a semi-shutdown state anyway, and no one read the memorial of the Kodao speaker anyway.  Then just embezzle at will, and it's yours to get the money.  Even if he made political achievements, the emperor would not give him a promotion.

    Even cabinet ministers and ministers resigned and returned home because they had nothing to do all year round.

    What's more nonsense is that Emperor Wanli didn't even bother to read the minister's resignation memorial.  As a result, some people resigned for several years, but they have not been approved.

    Take Li Tingji as an example. After joining the cabinet, he found that 43% of the vacancies for officials in the central government, not including low-level officials and civil servants.  Li Tingji couldn't do business, and was impeached by the Donglin Party. Although the emperor didn't read the impeachment memorial, Li Tingji still couldn't bear it.

    Li Tingji wrote a memorial and resigned, but Emperor Wanli did not approve it at all.  He simply gave the house to the poor and ran to live in the temple to show his determination.

    This old man lived in the ruined temple for five full years, wrote 123 resignation letters, and only got the nickname of "Miaozhuge Lao".

    Li Tingji couldn't bear it any longer, so he hung his seal and left. This is a serious crime of beheading.  What broke Li Tingji was that Emperor Wanli didn't care about the disappearance of one of his cabinet ministers.

    Until Li Tingji became poor and sick.After death, Emperor Wanli, who had been diving for a long time, finally bubbled up in the Daming official group, and gave Li Tingji a posthumous title of Shaobao and posthumous "Wenjie".

    Zhao Han has read more than half of "The History of the Christian Expedition to China", and many of the bad habits described in it have changed.  Matteo Ricci criticized the phenomenon of drowning infants, and drowning infants is rare nowadays, at least the people at the bottom will not do it because they cannot afford to support them.

    Only in a few prefectures and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, there are gentry who drowned their baby girls because they were afraid that they would never come to a male because they were the first to give birth to a girl.

    For this bad custom, once discovered, the whole family will be exiled.  Planning and participation in infanticide, beheading.  Only those who voluntarily report can be exempted from the punishment of exile. If they can't live in their original place, the government will help them immigrate to the north.

    There are also Chinese people who despise medicine. This phenomenon has also changed, and doctors are no longer regarded as lowly slaves.

    In the middle of the afternoon, Zhao Han called Ai Julian: "The Pope, hasn't sent any order yet?"

    Ayulio replied: "It's a long journey from China to Rome, and I won't be able to return until the end of this year at least. If there is a storm, it will have to be next year."

    "What is the idea of ??the Chinese Jesuits?" Zhao Han asked again.

    Ai Julius sighed: "I have no idea, the Chinese Jesuits have already existed in name only."

    In this book, Matteo Ricci has been complaining about the lack of funds for missionary work.  I also considered collecting money from believers, but finally gave up because I was afraid that collecting money would scare believers away.

    After Zhao Han expelled a large number of missionaries, the remaining missionaries have completely lost their source of funding.  In this case, it is a problem for them to eat, and there are no officials, so they have to find part-time jobs.  There are quite a few missionaries who specialize in translating European works and barely make ends meet.

    A bunch of poor people!

    Unlike the missionaries in the Qing Dynasty, due to the rise of European colonization, the funds for missionary work were frighteningly abundant.  But with money clearing the way, the majority of Han Chinese Christians in the Manchu Qing Dynasty turned out to be hooligans, because decent people would not choose to believe in Jesus.

    Ai Julius said: "Your Majesty, the missionary work of the Society of Jesus has stopped, and churches in various places have also closed down voluntarily, because they can't afford the rent. Some churches that bought land to build were also sold for cents. According to Buddhism  In the future, preaching will follow fate, and only preach to those who have the roots of wisdom."

    "Hahahaha!" Zhao Han was amused by this statement.

    These missionaries have already begun to lie flat.

    Ai Julius also said: "I and a few friends are determined to revise the doctrine, combine Christianity with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and combine with Your Majesty's Great Harmony Theory. However, even the remaining missionaries, most of them do not agree with this behavior.  .”

    Zhao Han is quite satisfied with the split of thought and disunity.

    "How did you combine Chinese and Western?" Zhao Han couldn't help asking.

    Ai Julius explained: "The Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit are all three in one, all of which are the evolution of the way of heaven. God's redemption is to awaken the world and make the world understand the theory of the original king, the original subject, and the original people. Kings and subjects,  As long as you believe in Jesus, you must fulfill the duties of the king, minister, and people. Only by fulfilling the duties of the king, minister, and people can you obtain the favor of the gods.  , is the great harmony of the world! Before the realization of the great harmony, everyone is guilty. The way of atonement is to strive to realize the great harmony of the world.”

    Zhao Han suppressed a smile, nodded and said: "Very good, after you complete the teachings, you can send them to me."

    Is this kind of Christianity reasonable?

    Very reasonable!

    In another time and space, there was even liberation theology, using Marxism to interpret the Bible, and it quickly spread throughout Latin America.

    They feel that God's redemption of the world is to liberate the world.

    How to liberate?

    Then you need to study Marxist theory, understand the principles of Marxist economics, and realize equality from all aspects of society, economy, and politics.  We must understand the scientific view of history and shoulder the responsibility of liberating ourselves.  To transform oneself, to transform society.  The original sin in the "Bible" is the old society and the old human beings. Only when the new society and the new human beings emerge can they be redeemed.

    The historian Han Yue has been released as the county magistrate, but Ding Shijing still stays.

    At this moment, Ding Shijing wrote in his daily life notes: "At noon, I read the book of Xiru Matteo Ricci, and if I felt something, I called Xiruai Julian and asked about the teachings of Christianity. Ai, a great European Confucianist, and his  He has studied both Chinese and Western cultures, and he is especially good at the way of astronomy. Ai Shi said that there are omissions in the teachings of the Christian scriptures, and they should be rectified with Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. Thousands of roads lead to the same goal by different routes, and Christian teachings should also follow the principles of heaven. I am very happy and encouraged  , Aishi is out."

    "What did you write?" Zhao Han asked.

    Ding Shijing hurriedly held it over: "Please take a look, Your Majesty."

    Zhao Han glanced at it, and couldn't help laughing immediately: "Do you think what he said makes sense?"

    Ding Shijing replied: "Truth comes from the law of heaven, and it also comes from the way of heaven. If the Yejiao does not follow the way of heaven, it is unreasonable. And the evolution of the way of heaven will lead to the harmony of the world. If the Yejiao takes the harmony of the world as its mission, it will be understood.  Heavenly reason, then he must have a reason."

    Zhao Han smiled and praised: "You are not bad, Datong theory is solid, and you are worthy of being Wang Tiaoding's student."

    Ding Shijing continued to flatter: "I often follow His Majesty around, listen to His Majesty's teachings, and improve my knowledge every day. My qualifications are dull. If I can continue to serve Your Majesty, I may become a great Confucian in the future."

    "That's right, the way of flattery, you have indeed improved a lot." Zhao Han smiled even more happily.Glancing at it, he couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think what he said makes sense?"

    Ding Shijing replied: "Truth comes from the law of heaven, and it also comes from the way of heaven. If the Yejiao does not follow the way of heaven, it is unreasonable. And the evolution of the way of heaven will lead to the harmony of the world. If the Yejiao takes the harmony of the world as its mission, it will be understood.  Heavenly reason, then he must have a reason."

    Zhao Han smiled and praised: "You are not bad, Datong theory is solid, and you are worthy of being Wang Tiaoding's student."

    Ding Shijing continued to flatter: "I often follow His Majesty around, listen to His Majesty's teachings, and improve my knowledge every day. My qualifications are dull. If I can continue to serve Your Majesty, I may become a great Confucian in the future."

    "That's right, the way of flattery, you have indeed improved a lot." Zhao Han smiled even more happily.

 Text 529 [Emperor's own plowing]

    ? In the old calendar, in February, officials above the third rank began to fast.

    On the second day of fasting, Zhao Han read the sacrificial text in Yingmin Hall, and went to inspect the rice seeds and farm tools in person.

    The Minister of Taichang Temple and the Governor of Jinling Prefecture sent the seeds and agricultural tools to Xiannongtan together.

    On the third day of fasting, Zhao Han set off on a royal chariot.

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

    The bell rings at the Meridian Gate, and the imperial driver leaves.

    After repeated weighing, Zhao Han resumed most of the sacrificial rituals, and at the same time restored the Taichang Temple that presided over the sacrificial rituals.

    However, the sacrificial ritual reform is more simplified.

    The restoration of various sacrificial ceremonies is not to engage in feudal superstition, nor is it to show the majesty of the emperor.  Rather, Zhao Han understands a truth, the core values ??of the ancient Chinese can be summed up in four words: respect heaven and ancestors!

    These four words cannot be lost, otherwise social thought will fall into chaos.

    Before the Lantern Festival, he had already gone to offer sacrifices to the heaven and the earth, and today he is going to hold the Qitian Ceremony.  That is to say, the emperor persuaded farming and cultivated the fields himself to express the imperial court's emphasis on farming.

    When Yu drove out of the Forbidden City, officials above the third rank had already waited in line outside the Forbidden City for a long time.

    This is also simplified. For the Kuitian Ceremony in the Ming Dynasty, all civil officials above the fourth rank and military officials above the third rank had to go.  Now, regardless of civil or martial arts, everyone must be above the third rank, Zhao Han does not want so many officials to follow.

    Improving the standard of participating in sacrifices by one rank will immediately reduce more than half of the officials.

    When the procession of emperors and ministers passed by, many people from Nanjing gathered around, obviously wanting to follow behind to watch the excitement.

    The two Frenchmen, Henry and Charles, were also quite curious about this, wondering why the emperor was leaving the city.

    Could it be to go hunting?

    Or organize a knightly contest?

    The team went all the way to the southeast outside Nanjing, where the Nanjing Temple of Heaven and Earth is located.

    At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang followed the ancient rituals and sacrificed to heaven and earth on the summer solstice and winter solstice in the south and north of Zijin Mountain.

    Etiquette is extremely cumbersome and goes a long way.

    So Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Heaven and earth are like parents. How can they be separated if they are sacrificed to parents?"

    So the sacrifice to heaven and earth was changed from separate sacrifice to joint sacrifice, and the place of sacrifice was also changed.  In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's intention was to reduce the number of sacrifices and reduce the distance traveled, so as to avoid wasting people and money.

    Zhu Di moved his capital to Beijing, and the etiquette followed the old rules of Nanjing.

    ?Until Emperor Jiajing held a grand discussion on etiquette and made a series of etiquette reforms.  One of them is to change the Temple of Heaven and Earth into the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth, and follow the ancient rituals for separate sacrifices.

    Now, Zhao Han has changed again.

    His idea is the same as Zhu Yuanzhang's, he can do whatever he can to save trouble.

    The Temple of Heaven and Earth has a large sacrificial hall, where the yin and yang of heaven and earth, the sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers, and all natural gods are enshrined here.

    Xiannongtan is near the Great Sacrifice Hall, dedicated to one of the ancestors of China: Shennong!

    The sacrificial officer of Taichang Temple acts as the master of ceremonies to arrange the process.

    Chen Maosheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood in front and recited the sacrificial oration, and then Zhao Han led the officials to bow down to Shennong.

    ? According to the ancient rituals, when offering sacrifices to Shennong, one must use too much prison, that is, a complete set of pigs, cattle and sheep.

    Zhao Han thinks it is too wasteful, just kill a pig.

    After the worship service, Zhao Han pressed the hem of the dragon robe on his belt, took off his boots, and rolled up his trouser legs.

    The minister of Taichang Temple waved the red flag three times, the minister of the Ministry of Rites invited the emperor to come out of the altar, the minister of the Ministry of household presented the lei, and the governor of Jinling Prefecture presented the whip.  Lei is the most primitive plow, and the portraits of Shennong often carry it.

    ? Zhao Han walked out of Xiannong's Altar, holding a lei in his right hand and a whip in his left.

    There were also two local old farmers who followed with their cattle, and the officials of Honglu Temple announced that the emperor would personally farm.

    Today, the concubine did not come.

    ? Men farm and women weave. Farming is a man's business, although there must be women farming among the people.

    The Field of the Son of Heaven, three points per mu.

    One-third of an acre of land is derived from here.

    Unlike other emperors, Zhao Han's Tianzitian was not framed within the altar, but next to the people's paddy fields.

    On the ridge in the distance, there are many people standing.

    There are even gentry, holding civilian binoculars, standing far away and happily peeping.  After Zhao Han came to Nanjing, this was the first time he had plowed by himself. The people inside and outside the city of Nanjing had not seen the emperor plowing the fields for more than two hundred years.

    "Your Majesty, please dig the ground!" The old farmer of the cows smiled.

    Old peasants are not invited randomly, they must be elderly.  You must be over sixty years old, have high moral character, and be able to farm.

    ? Zhao Han only needs to hold the lei, go down to the field and turn it over a few times, and the rest will be done."People!

    Zhao Han didn't plow all the one-acre three-point field of the Son of Heaven, but only plowed three back and forth for show.

    This is also etiquette, three pushes and three reverses.

    Then another piece was flattened out. The governor of Jinling Prefecture held the green box in his hand, and the servant of the household department held the seeds and sowed them.  This is breeding, concentrated sowing of rice seeds, and after they grow into seedlings, they are pulled out and transplanted to the field.

    According to ancient rituals, five grains should be sown.

    Zhao Han said to the Minister of Taichang Temple last month: "How to plant, how to plant, how can the five grains be sown together? Wait for other seeds to rot?"

    After the Son of Heaven's personal plowing was over, the Minister of the Household Department and the Governor of Jinling Prefecture returned home with the lei and the whip.

    Zhao Han climbed up to the viewing platform, and the three lords and nine ministers went to get the whip and the plow in turn.  Sangong pushes five times and returns five times, Jiu Qing nine times pushes nine times, and finally just plows one mu and three parts of the land.

    "The plowing ceremony is complete!" Chen Maosheng shouted.

    "Let's play "You Ping Zhang"!"

    "The emperor drives back to the palace!"

    The royal band started to play again. Pingzhang means peace in the world and outstanding political achievements, and "Youpingzhang" means God blesses the country and the people.

    A few farmers stood by the field and laughed silly. One-third of the acre of land had already been leased to them, and only a symbolic rent was collected and handed over to the palace.

    This is the field of the Son of Heaven, if they can cultivate it, they may be able to enjoy the royal air.

 Text 530 [Major case]

    ? Zhao Han personally cultivated and persuaded the farmers, and simplified the etiquette, which is the epitome of the tradition and innovation of the new dynasty.

    ? To sum it up in eight words: respect tradition, be pragmatic and innovative.

    Innovation is always difficult, so difficult that Xiaohong divorced her husband.  Both of them are officials, so they get together less and leave more, and finally return to their hometown for the festival, and they are full of gossip.

    Unable to bear the pressure of public opinion, her husband offered to reconcile, and Xiaohong immediately went to the government to complete the formalities.

    Xiaohong knows her husband's difficulties, why is he eating soft food, and using his wife's relationship to get promoted quickly, and his wife is cuckolding him in other places.  Let alone ancient men, many modern men would be overwhelmed by psychological pressure.

    Sadness is definitely sad. Apart from divorce, the only solution is to resign.

    But Xiaohong didn't want to resign because she had a strong sense of professionalism.

    After the Spring Festival, Xiaohong returned to Quzhou Fucheng.  She learned from Zhao Han in everything, and set up a mailbox at the gate of the government office, and opened and read the letters regularly every month.

    This time I opened and read a letter, the content of which was very simple: the bidding for the construction of the official residence in Quzhou was tricky, the embankment of the Xixi River in Fucheng had cut corners, and the construction party of the two projects was the same trading company.

    Anonymous letter, who wrote it.

    Xiaohong immediately called the colleague in charge of related work, and asked him to investigate whether the embankment was cutting corners.  I got a reply a few days later, and found no cutting corners.

    Xiaohong was still not at ease, and sent her cronies to check the bidding documents for the construction of the official building. It turned out that everything was in line with the normal process.

    Therefore, Xiaohong didn't ask about the matter again, thinking that the content of the report was false.

    Two months later, Xiaohong received a long letter reporting a lot of officials.  The whistleblower also said that the clean government and judicial departments in Quzhou Prefecture and Xi'an County have been corrupted by the Zheng family into a sieve.

    There are even more detailed contents, saying that the umbrella of the Zheng family is Zheng Tongfu, the doctor of the Department of Construction and Repair of the Ministry of Industry.

    This is a fat job. Although the official rank is not high, he actually handles government projects across the country.

    ? On March 3rd, Shangsi goes outing.

    Xiaohong disguised herself as a noble lady and took her maid out of the city for an outing.  Although she was famous, she always wore official uniforms, but suddenly she was dressed as a noble lady, and no one recognized her.

    Arriving at a river embankment outside the city, Xiaohong saw an old flower seller squatting under a willow tree.

    As soon as she walked over, the old man stood up quickly, and asked with a smile on his face: "Madam, do you want to buy apricot flowers? The apricot flowers are very good, I just picked them this morning, and they can be stored for several days when you take them back. You should go out for a walk."  Bring flowers, Madam, look over there, the apricot flowers of the young masters and ladies are all bought from me."

    Xiaohong paid for an apricot flower, and sighed casually: "This river embankment is really well built, and the scenery is even more beautiful when you go outing."

    "Hey, it's well done." There seemed to be a hint of irony in the old man's smile.

    Xiaohong asked: "Where is it not repaired well?"

    The old man shook his head again and again: "Good repair."

    Xiaohong didn't ask any more questions, but after returning home, she sent a confidant to inquire.

    The young man inquired for a few days, and came back and said, "My lord, the river embankment was really cut corners. Several sections were often washed away by floods. The government's request was to use composite soil as the foundation. When the river embankment was repaired last year, it was built with cement.  Watering and then ramming the earth. Also, the business company that built the embankment deducted the wages of the workers, and has not paid them off until now.”

    At this time, the quality of the cement is relatively poor due to the problem of furnace temperature, so it cannot be used to build water conservancy.

    As for the composite soil used to build water conservancy, although the raw materials are not expensive, the process is quite complicated, time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive. It is better to use cement to save trouble.

    "What is the reputation of the Zheng family?" Xiaohong asked again.

    "It's hard to say." The boy replied.

    Xiaohong wondered: "What do you mean?"

    The little servant explained in detail: "The Zheng family builds bridges and paves roads in the countryside, especially at the junction of Xi'an and Longyou. Those villages and towns praise the Zheng family. But the people in other places hate the Zheng family deeply. The Zheng family receives goods in the countryside.  , The price is kept very low. The projects contracted by the Zheng family often deduct wages, saying that they will hold it first and settle it next time. There is also a side branch of the Zheng family that has occupied two vegetable markets in Fucheng.  Purchase from the Zheng family."

    Xiao Hong frowned: "The Xi'an government doesn't care?"

    The boy replied: "The Zheng family doesn't come out on their own, but gathers some idlers and beats them if they don't listen to the Zheng family's orders. The government also takes care of it, and punishes them by gathering a crowd to fight, and each beats 50 big boards each time. Xiaomin was beaten.  He was beaten up, and he was fined by the government, and he will not report to the government after a long time."

    Xiaohong knew that the Zheng family was a well-known rich family in Quzhou.

    &I'm afraid of the officials of Datong Bank.  "

    Dai Wenmeng asked: "There is no peasant association in your village? Doesn't the peasant association help farmers?"

    The old farmer said: "There is a farmers' association. The president's surname is Zheng, and the village head's surname is also Zheng. The mayor of the town is a foreigner, but his surname is not Zheng, but he has made an appointment with the one with the surname Zheng. The mayor is also greedy, and he took over with the Zheng family.  A barren mountain, burn lime, burn cement and sell money. The young and strong in the town, only the peasants and soldiers, they dare not mess with. Except for the peasants and soldiers, anyone who disobeys will be beaten."

    "How many towns are like this?" Dai Wenmeng asked.

    The old farmer replied: "The grass people know that there are three towns."

    ? Asked some more questions, and asked the old farmer to mark with his fingerprints.

    On the second day, Dai Wenmeng and Mei Zhuyou returned to the inn in the city to exchange investigation information with other clean government officials.

    An anti-government official named Cao Benshu said: "Lao Liang and I got an inaccurate news. The younger brother of Zheng Tongfu, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, married the daughter of Li Ge's nephew. If the news is true, the officialdom in Quzhou is very bad."  So fast, it is probably related to Mr. Li Ge. Mr. Li may not know about it, but the Zheng family will inevitably use his name to do evil."

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and Li Banghua was actually involved in this case.

    "Why don't you present the case to His Majesty first, and see what His Majesty plans to do?" said an honest official.

    Mei Zhuyou sternly said: "Your Majesty is troubled by everything, what do you want us officials to do? Brother Cao, Brother Liang, go and verify the news to see if it is related to Mr. Li Ge. Others, stay in Quzhou and continue to investigate the case. Even if  Involved with Mr. Li Ge, this case can't be fooled, from the government office to the county office to the village, there may be hundreds of officials involved! ?

 Text 531 [Still an insurgent]

    What bad things the Zheng family did was quickly found out by the clean government officials.

    It's not that the clean government officials are too strong, but that the Zheng family has no barriers, and they can ask passers-by if they catch them!

    Of course, it was considered a cover-up, but he didn't show up himself.  The bad things in engineering are done by the shopkeepers of the trading company; the bad things in bullying the market are done by gangsters.

    Even if the higher-ups track it down, throw out a few scapegoats and it will be settled.

    The Xu family is the first, and the Zheng family is the second.

    That anonymous letter was sent by Xu Huai.  He reported anonymously to various yamen in Quzhou, but there was no response, so he reported to Xiaohong.

    If Xiaohong doesn't care, write a letter to Zhejiang Sansi.

    If the third division doesn't care, it's donating money to the school and getting a "Confucian businessman" badge.

    Hold the waist card and meet the emperor!

    "Master, there is a stranger asking to see you, saying that he is talking about a big deal." The butler came in to announce, and handed over a call letter sealed with wax.

    Xu Huai took apart the sealant on the greeting card, and there was a brand inside.

    The front reads: Inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, No. 057.

    ? On the back it reads: Dedicated to clean government, return to order to take it back.  Those who dare to forge or use it privately will be punished as treason.

    Imperial envoy?

    Or Bai Wuchang?

    Xu Huai hurriedly covered his waist card, and said happily: "Please hurry up, there is a big business coming!"

    Honest officials, of course, did not know that it was Xu Huai who reported it.  But they have already found out that the Xu family and the Zheng family have had a lot of trouble in the past two years, which seems to be caused by a business.

    Dai Wenmeng and Mei Zhuyou entered hand in hand, the former dressed as a merchant and the latter as a follower.

    Xu Huai had asked his servant to bring tea a long time ago, and there were no other people waiting in the room at the moment.  When he saw the two people coming in, he immediately knelt down on both knees, held his waist card and said, "Caomin Xu Huai, welcome the two angels!"

    When Dai Wenmeng retracted his waist card, he took advantage of the situation to help him up: "Mr. Xu is too polite. According to His Majesty's rules, people don't have to kneel when they see officials."

    Xu Huai smiled and said, "Two angels, please take your seat."

    Dai Wenmeng sat down to drink tea, as if chatting: "Mr. Meng, don't be afraid, we are here to understand something."

    Plum and Zhuyou took out a small notebook and began to grind ink.

    Xu Huai smiled even more happily: "Master Angel, please tell me."

    Dai Wenmeng skimmed the tea with a bowl lid and said, "Do you have a construction company?"

    "Yes." Xu Huai replied.

    Dai Wenmeng said again: "Your business company has competed with the Zheng family for contracting Quzhou government buildings and river embankments?"

    Xu Huai knelt down again with lightning speed, crying in a low voice: "I beg the Lord Angel to be the master, contract those projects, the Zheng family colluded with the government, how can the grassroots compete with the government? There is also the ticket office business,  The Zheng family colluded with the government and smeared my Xu family for tax evasion. Caomin admitted that he did evade taxes the first time. However, the Caomin had accepted the punishment and changed his mind, but the Zheng family wanted to kill them all. The second investigation showed that the Caomin did not evade taxes.  For this move, they were forced to close the ticket office in the city for more than three months. When it reopened after three months, most of the business was robbed!"

    Private bank, private bank, this kind of business has not been completely banned.

    However, both the bank and the bank have to pay a deposit to Datong Bank, and there is also a cap on lending interest.

    ? Private banks are mainly engaged in money and food exchange, deposit and loan business. Due to the existence of Datong Bank, the number of private banks across the country is decreasing day by day.

    Private bank accounts are getting more and more prosperous!

    In particular, the Longyou Merchant Gang is mostly engaged in long-distance trafficking, and the circulation of goods and capital is very slow, often requiring a large amount of capital advances.  In the case of insufficient funds, it has to borrow from outsiders.

    As for Datong Bank's loans, the review process is very strict, and the review time is at least half a month.

    Therefore, the merchants of the Longyou Merchant Gang prefer to borrow from private banks.

    ?They have their own set of rules, peers in the same industry, each relying on their own beliefs, no written evidence, and the flow of water follows the market.

    ? In particular, the lack of written documents has caused a lot of headaches for the government, and it has become very difficult to determine the tax amount.  But for merchants, there are basically no problems, because the ticket number business is purely based on word-of-mouth, and once the word-of-mouth is broken, it will all be over.

    Dai Wenmeng and Mei Zhuyou looked at each other, and they both felt that there must be something rewarding today.

    The Zheng family relied on the government's illegal operations, resulting in the Xu family bank being ordered to rectify for three months.  For merchants, this is already an endless hatred.

    Dai Wenmeng asked: "Why did the Zheng family collude with the government to harm you? Even if it's robbing business, they wouldn't do it so badly. It's easy to be caught."

    ?In the disaster, I spent a lot of money with the sufferer's family.  They also spent money to ask someone to take the blame, and then bought two levels of judges in Tongqu Prefecture and Xi'an County. In the end, only the person who committed the crime was sentenced to exile in Taiwan.  "

    Plum and Zhuyou sighed: "Murder case. Do you know the name and address of the victim? We will investigate later."

    Xu Huai must have inquired secretly, and immediately said: "The sufferer is Shu Shouyi, who lives in Pinglefang, nicknamed Shu Da. He is a drunk and likes to drink. The two angels went to Pinglefang, and they knew where he lived. He died.  After that, his wife, Fan, has remarried and moved to Zhupeng Town, Longyou County. The fifth family in the east of the town is a blacksmith."

    Dai Wenmeng laughed and said: "You can find out clearly. Is there any murder case in Zheng's family?"

    Xu Huai said: "It's also heard, I don't know if it's true or not. There was a guy named Sun in the Zheng family who went out to run away and never returned. The Zheng family claimed that this guy Sun was killed by local soldiers in Guizhou. But  The guy who went with him came back, but someone faintly told the truth. He said that the guy Sun had dirty hands and feet, swallowed more than a dozen taels of silver, and was beaten to death by Zheng Hongyi's nephew."

    Mei Zhuyou asked: "What is the name of Zheng Hongyi's nephew? Where does he live? What is the name of Mr. Sun? Where does he live?"

    Xu Huai quickly told the details again.

    Before and after, a total of six murders were mentioned.

 Text 532 [Exploration]

    "Master, master, uncle has been arrested!"

    The housekeeper rushed into the room, and before Zheng Hongyi could speak, his wife came in crying.

    Seeing that, Zheng Hongyi had a headache.

    He is indeed extremely defensive and often shields his relatives.  But this doesn't mean that he likes his relatives to make troubles every day, and his brother-in-law has already made Zheng Hongyi extremely bored.

    "What happened again?" Zheng Hongyi said angrily.

    His wife Feng panicked: "It's the case of Shu Da, and Ming Ju was arrested again!"

    Zheng Hongyi was immediately unhappy: "This case was closed last year, how could it be found out again? Could it be that the person surnamed Fu is leaving his post and wants to make some money before he leaves?"

    "It has nothing to do with Mr. Fu," Feng said, "it belongs to Mr. Shu, go to the government to file a complaint. Mr. Fu entrusted someone to report the letter, let our family spend some more money, and don't go to the magistrate's office."

    "How unreasonable!"

    Zheng Hongyi said angrily: "Shu Da's case has already been paid to the Shu family. It has only been a year, and they have to complain about their grievances. Is it possible that they complain about their grievances every year, and our family pays money every year? This money can't be given. Once it is given  It's over, it's over!"

    Feng said worriedly: "What if troubles really come to the magistrate's yamen? Master Li said that the magistrate has already suspected Hedi. If Shu Da's case is also targeted by the magistrate, I'm afraid I'm afraid it's"

    "Don't be afraid," Zheng Hongyi raised his hand and said, "This magistrate Huang is from His Majesty's maidservant. Our daughter-in-law is the grandniece of Mr. Li Ge. Huang Zhifu and Mr. Li Ge are both ministers of the dragon.  Will you still have trouble with your own family? Even if Huang Zhifu doesn't give me face for Zheng's family, he still has to give some face to Mr. Li Ge."

    Zheng Hongyi said to the housekeeper again: "Go to the court and watch to see what's going on. Also, ask the Shu family why they want to appeal for injustice and overturn the case. Do they not want to live anymore?"

    Two hours later, the housekeeper came back to report: "Master, the Shu family said that they did not overturn the case, and it was the Fan family who submitted the complaint."

    Zheng Hongyi frowned, and muttered to himself: "A woman has remarried, why would she risk offending the Zheng family and suddenly come out to complain to her ex-husband?"

    The housekeeper hesitated to speak.

    "Say it!" Zheng Hongyi scolded.

    The housekeeper said: "Master, I heard people say that the money we gave was swallowed up by the Shu family, and none of the money was left to the Fan family. Not only that, the Shu family also forced the Fan family to remarry to Long You.  A widower. The widower is fifty years old, and in order to marry Fan, he gave the Shu family five taels of silver as a betrothal gift."

    Zheng Hongyi was startled when he heard that, and then he couldn't laugh or cry: "The Shu family eats at both ends!"

    Shu Da, who was beaten to death by mistake, was already a drunk and prodigal son, and his family had had enough of this guy for a long time.  Family affection has been indifferent, it would be better to be beaten to death, not to mention getting compensation money.

    The members of the Shu family swallowed up the money and almost sold Shu Da's widow to a widower in the name of remarriage.

    Inside and out, making money twice, of course they will not overturn the case.

    Zheng Hongyi said: "Send a servant to contact Fan's secretly. She must have not received any money and was forced to marry an old widower. The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and she went to report to the government again. Give her two  Twelve, tell her not to make trouble anymore, otherwise what is her husband doing now?"

    The housekeeper said: "I run an iron shop in Zhupeng Town."

    Zheng Hongyi said: "If she makes trouble again, her family's blacksmith shop will not be able to continue!"

    There are two levels of courts in the capital city of Quzhou.

    One is Xi'an County Court, and the other is Quzhou Prefecture Court.

    The official position of the official who was in charge of the prison was abolished and replaced by the judge of the government and the judge of the government.

    The arrest of Zheng Hongyi's brother-in-law this time was approved by the criminal officer, and the police arrested him and locked him up pending trial.

    In the prison, Feng Risheng lived in a single room and was drinking with the chief jailer.

    "Master Feng, this room has been cleaned several times, but the musty smell can't be completely removed. You are old, and you have been wronged for a few days." The chief jailer said with a smile.

    Feng Risheng sipped the wine and nodded in approval: "It's a good job, and I can't do without your benefits."

    The chief jailer hurriedly toasted: "Thank you, Mr. Feng, for your cultivation!"

    Feng Risheng said: "Have you found out the matter clearly?"

    The head of the jailer explained: "The Shu family took the money, but did not distribute it to Fan. They also forced Fan to remarry an old widower, and took the opportunity to collect a sum of money as a gift. Fan must have been upset, so he came out and handed in a complaint. Sentence  Master sent someone to tell Master Feng to stay here for a few days, and the case will be resolved when Fan is calmed down."

    "What's the trouble?" Feng Risheng felt wronged.

    The chief jailer sighs??Became a yellow-faced woman by the fire.  "

    Fan slapped a ladle on the idle man's crotch, blurted out the words of tiger and wolf, and said contemptuously: "Just the two taels of meat in your crotch? Do you want to take off your pants and compare the weight with my husband?"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    When the other idlers heard this, they were immediately amused and laughed.

    The idler in the lead was furious, feeling that he had lost face, and immediately shouted: "You hold down that blacksmith, and I want this woman to know what is going on!"

    An idler reminded: "Fifth brother, we are here to run errands, so don't ruin the master's errands."

    The leader of the idle man said: "Don't worry, the silver will be given to me. Put this woman to sleep, and she will not dare to say anything, and the matter will be handled more properly." Then, he threatened the blacksmith and his wife again, "If they dare to report to the officials afterwards  , killed the man, and set fire to the shop!"

    The blacksmith is not a vegetarian either. He wrapped the handle of the sickle with a rag, and held the rag with both hands to gesture: "Whoever dares to come over, I will kill him!"

    The sickle had just been taken out of the stove, and the blade was burnt red.

    The blacksmith stepped forward and waved it, scaring the idlers back.

    The leader of the idle man retreated and shouted: "If you have something to say, you have something to say. As long as the wife withdraws the petition, I will give your family ten taels of silver wait a minute, don't do anything else, how about fifteen taels of silver?"

    "Get out, don't want Zheng's dirty money!" the blacksmith roared.

    A few idlers got off the door and fled quickly.

    After escaping from the door, the leader of the idle man yelled again: "You don't eat the toast, you don't eat fine wine, be careful that your iron shop catches fire in the middle of the night!"

    The blacksmith and his wife looked worried, and went to the back room and said: "You two officials, I'm afraid someone set the fire at night."

    There are two incorruptible officials sitting in the house, and they are dedicated to protecting the safety.

    Liang Tingxin slowly put the sword back into the cloth bag, and said with a smile: "Arson is a serious crime, at least you can be sentenced to exile. If you burn property or hurt people, you can be sentenced to death as appropriate!"

    Many clean government officials are from Datong Club who carry swords!

    After Zhao Han occupied Jiangsu and Anhui, hundreds of swordsmen were recruited into the central and local anti-corruption departments.

    They are not afraid of fights, murderers and arsonists. If they meet them, they will never even try to escape.

    ,

    Cao Benshu and Liang Tingxin, two incorruptible officials, guarded the blacksmith shop for several days, but they did not see anyone coming to set fire to the house.

    The officials of the Quzhou Prefecture Grand Court came to notify Fan's hearing.

    ? Involving homicide, there must be a public trial, that is, people can attend.

    The first trial of this case was held in Xi'an County Court.

    ?The court was adjourned several times before and after, and the initial witness testimony all pointed to Feng Risheng deliberately pushing people down the stairs.

    But in the last court session, the testimony of the witnesses completely changed. The deceased was not killed by Feng Risheng on purpose, but was killed by Feng Risheng's entourage by mistake.  Feng Risheng only punched him twice at that time, and it was not a deliberate beating. He was drunk and quarreled, and it was settled by paying some money to the family of the deceased.  The entourage was sentenced to exile in Taiwan for manslaughter.

    Due to active compensation, the family of the deceased did not appeal.

    In ancient China, there were not only appeals, but also a death penalty review system.

    Only serious crimes such as treason can be sentenced to "beheaded and executed", but it is not direct killing.  First hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial, then to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for review, then to Dali Temple for trial, and finally to the emperor for approval.

    There is also a kind of "beheading the prison", commonly known as execution after autumn.

    Before execution, the prisoner can appeal.  Even if there is no appeal, it must be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review, and finally to the emperor for signature.

    In terms of system, every death row prisoner in ancient China was beheaded after signing by the emperor.  In actual operation, of course, this is impossible. Basically, the Ministry of Punishment and the cabinet just go through it once, otherwise, when encountering a negligent emperor like Wanli, the death row prisoners all over the world will laugh to death.

    After Zhao Han reformed the judicial office, he still retained the death penalty review system, but there was no need to disturb the emperor and the cabinet. The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple could handle it by themselves.

    The emperor and the cabinet will only come forward when the lawsuit goes all the way to Dali Temple.

    ? On this day, Dai Wenmeng and Mei Zhuyou dressed up in disguise and went to the trial in civilian clothes.  It was Dai Wenmeng's idea to urge Fan's grievance to overturn the case. He wanted to see how the local officials would deal with it.

    Chen An walked up to them and sat down, and said in a low voice: "We can't catch the officials, the witnesses have already been bribed. The Fan family refused to withdraw the complaint, so the Zheng family went to contact the witnesses and wrote down their testimony for them to collude.  Even if it can be proved that the Zheng family bought witnesses, there are no loopholes in the lawsuit. The local judge's judgment, whether it was last year or today, must be completely legal."

    Plum and Zhuyou sighed: "Officials are not stupid, they like money, and they like their own heads even more. The Zheng family is domineering, and they can be arrested if they are checked. But the local officials, I am afraid they can only catch some little ones."

    Chen An said: "If Zheng's family is arrested, the officials must be confessed."

    "So what if you confess?" Dai Wenmeng sneered, "Officials don't admit it, saying they were slandered, how can they show evidence of their crimes? Your Majesty said, we honest officials should avoid arresting officials indiscriminately without evidence."

    If there is no evidence, the clean government officials can arrest people randomly, then it is no different from the Jinyiwei, and it is the Jinyiwei at the time of the greatest power.

    Mei Zhuyou said: "The only ones who can be arrested now are the officials in charge of project bidding, the officials who helped the Zheng family bully the city, and the warders and guards in the prison. Other officials can be completely eliminated."

    Dai Wenmeng reminded: "Don't forget the mayors, village chiefs and peasant associations outside the city!"

    "Yes, these people deserve to die too," Mei Zhuyou gritted his teeth, "especially the presidents of the peasant associations. His Majesty formed the peasant associations to help the peasants stand out, but now they have become accomplices in exploiting the peasants."

    "Hoo!"

    Justice Bao Shouyue slapped the gavel: "Bring the plaintiff!"

    Fan Shi was taken to the plaintiff's seat, and the murder suspect Feng Risheng was brought there immediately.

    Feng Risheng was full of smiles, and he was fat and white. It seemed that he had eaten well in the past few days in custody.

    The clerk made his case and the first witness was brought in.

    It was a shopkeeper of a restaurant.

    "The day Shu Shouyi was killed, were you there?"

    "Present."

    "What day and time is it?"

    "After the Lantern Festival last year, it was about noon on the eighteenth day of the first month in the lunar calendar."

    "You state what you have seen and heard."

    "At that time, Caomin was at the counter. He heard from the staff that there was a fight upstairs, so Caomin planned to go upstairs to persuade the fight. But it was Shu Shouyi who drank too much and bumped into Mr. Feng Feng Risheng who was coming back from his relief. They didn't know who was the first to curse.  The two quarreled and then wrestled together Feng Risheng was so drunk that he was knocked to the ground. Feng Yun, Feng Risheng's entourage, was filled with righteous indignation, and also wrestled with Shu Shouyi. Both of them were drunk, and during the scuffle, Shu Shouyi was pushed  Fall downstairs and die."

    &nbsp’ commanded.

    As the magistrate, Huang Fei suddenly wanted to check the housing situation in the city, and went to retrieve the files of the housing in the city in person.  In order not to overwhelm others, they only said that they want to carry out housing projects, learning from the one in Nanjing, and building low-rent housing for civilians who have no houses to live in.

    Soon the information about that house was found, and the owner's name was Liu Qi.  The file shows that he is a local, but the household registration information cannot be found at all.

    Then another thing was found out, Liu Anyong and the concubine had already given birth to a son.

    Everyone continued to mark, and only got new clues half a month later.

    A confidant of the Zheng family went to the house quietly with something stuffed in his chest.

    Feng Yue deliberately drank and pretended to be drunk, staggered and bumped into it, feeling that the clerk was hiding silver dollars in his arms.

    Check that guy again, he is from a trading company.

    This business company has a mining license for iron mines, which was originally Zhao Han's reward for those who contributed to the meritorious service.  However, as the anti-corruption officer went into the mountain to check, he found that the trading company had crossed the border to mine, and even forcibly occupied the land of the people in the mountain.

    "It involves land policy, this matter has become a big mess!" Dai Wenmeng exclaimed.

    Mei Zhuyou said: "Are these people crazy?"

    Dai Wenmeng said: "There is not much food to grow in the mountains, but mining iron ore makes money. After the Zheng family occupied the land of the mountain people, they asked the mountain people to help dig the mines. The mountain people can get wages and grain compensation from the Zheng family.  As for the death in the mining accident, I can only admit that I am unlucky. This way, no common people will come to Fucheng to complain."

    "What happened to the guy who gave money to Liu Anyong?" Mei Zhuyou asked suspiciously.

    Dai Wenmeng said: "I guess it's the dividends from the mine. Liu Anyong is too cautious, he can't even trust the Zheng family. The monthly dividends don't dare to be stored in the Zheng family's ticket number, nor dare to store them in Datong Bank. Let the Zheng family directly  Send the money to the outer house. It is estimated that every year or so, he will send his confidants to quietly transport the money back to his hometown in Jiangxi."

    Mei Zhuyou said: "It involves land policy, and it involves so many elders in the court and China. I suggest that His Majesty should be informed about the matter."

    Dai Wenmeng said: "I will write a letter, and you will bring it back to Nanjing yourself. ?

 Text 534 [A group of good officials who were cheated]

    ,

    Nanjing, Forbidden City, Yingmin Hall.

    Plum and Zhuyou were uneasy, and looked at the emperor from time to time, but did not see the emperor getting angry.

    After reading their investigation report, the emperor didn't say a word, but stared outside the palace in a daze.  It was so calm, without a single sound, like the night before a storm.

    Finally, Zhao Han withdrew his gaze and stopped staring at the open space in front of the hall.

    Zhao Han asked: "How many reliable police officers in the prefectural city of Quzhou, including the judges in the court?"

    Mei Zhuyou said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't figure this out."

    Zhao Han sighed and said, "Oh, you don't need to go to Hangzhou to recruit officials, you recruit peasants and soldiers on the spot in Quzhou Prefecture. Don't make secret investigations, arrest people directly and interrogate them separately. After the clues have been interrogated, I will let Xiao Huan personally decide the case.  "

    "Follow the order!"

    Plum and bamboo friends don't know whether to be excited or afraid.

    ?Integrity officials inspect places, usually with the cooperation of local officials.  This is the first time that peasants and soldiers have been directly recruited locally to handle affairs. It is obvious that the emperor no longer trusts Quzhou officials.

    Mei Zhuyou left the Forbidden City and rushed back to Quzhou by fast boat.

    Zhao Han asked Ding Shijing, who was recording his daily notes: "Are any of your clan members serving as officials?"

    Ding Shijing didn't know the details of the case, he only guessed that there must be a big case.  He put down his writing brush and said, "Your Majesty, although I was born in a poor family and was treated with cold eyes when I was young, after becoming an official, some members of the clan also appeared. One clan uncle is serving as county magistrate, and another clan brother is serving as county magistrate."

    Zhao Han asked again: "If one day you become a minister, will your clan uncles and brothers use your cover to do evil in the local area?"

    "This" Ding Shijing thought about it carefully, and finally said, "Uncle Chenna is upright and rigorous, and he will definitely not act like this. But brother Chenna has a good face and an out-of-the-box personality. If I become a minister, he will  Don't take bribes and break the law, and will publicize your relationship with your ministers everywhere."

    Zhao Han asked: "If your clan brother commits crimes and uses your name to commit crimes, how should you be punished?"

    "This this" Ding Shijing had already guessed that the family members of a certain important official had broken the law. How could he dare to speak nonsense, he could only ambiguously say, "The official lives in Nanjing and has not been in contact with the clan for a long time. The clan uses the name of the minister  Evil, I really don’t know about it, and if I get severely punished because of this, I must feel very wronged. But the state has national laws, and if it is really implicated by the clansmen, I have nothing to say."

    Zhao Han turned to Li Xiangjun and said, "Call Xiao Huan here."

    Li Xiangjun left Yingmin Hall and sent a female official to pass the message.

    About an hour later, Xiao Huan rushed over, cupped his hands and said, "Kowtow to Your Majesty."

    Zhao Han pointed to the investigation report of the anti-corruption officer: "You can read it yourself."

    Xiao Huan took the report back and sat down to read it carefully. The more he looked, the more frightened he became.

    In terms of the facts of the case alone, the case in Henan last year was even worse. The grain transfer system in the whole province was almost broken, and the amount of money and food involved was astronomical.

    However, the thunderstorm in Quzhou prefecture firstly implicated several central government officials, and secondly involved occupation of land for mining.

    In the new dynasty of Datong, the land has always been a red line, and anyone who dares to step over half a foot will die.

    Zhao Han said: "I can trust Li Aiqing (Li Banghua). He must have been ignorant and used by his tribe. What is your impression of Zheng Tongfu?"

    Xiao Huan replied: "Zheng Tongfu is a capable official and extremely diligent. He has not returned to his hometown for several years and has been an official in the capital. In the Ministry of Industry, he came the earliest every day until  He will only leave when it is dark. There is no mistake or omission in the projects he has handled. He is usually on vacation, either resting at home or going to the Wenhua Palace to borrow books. He has never been to the Qinhuai River, and he has never participated in any literary meetings.  He can be regarded as a role model for officials. I forgive you bluntly, Zheng Tongfuit's a pity that he met such bad parents."

    "That's why I'm so sad," Zhao Han said with a sad and angry expression on his face, "Zheng Tongfu is hardworking, capable, honest, and an insurgent scholar. Such a perfect official will surely become an official within ten years."  Shang Shu, I will personally promote him to be Shang Shu. What kind of father is this? Is there anyone who deceives his son? His father even said that the surname of Tianxia is Zhao, and the surname of Quzhou is Zheng. Does the Zheng family want to rebel! "

    Xiao Huan was silent.

    Zhao Han asked again: "Where is Liu Anfeng?"

    Xiao Huan said: "Liu Anfeng is a close friend of Chen Shangshu (Chen Maosheng)."

    Chen Maosheng's best friend, this is not an answer, but it is better than an answer.

    Chen Maosheng is a staunch revolutionary, has not changed, has always been so pure, and has offended many colleagues in recent years.

    Manchu civil and militaryAfter becoming an official, the people from the tribe came to cling to him.  The minister restrains the family, and must not get involved with the same clan, nor give favoritism to the same clan.  That Liu Anyong should really be killed, but he has nothing to do with the minister.  The minister is innocent, and there is no room for such stains"

    Having said that, Liu Anfeng took off his official hat, knelt down and kowtowed: "I request you to resign and return home!"

    There was dead silence in the hall, and the Minister of the Household Department actually resigned.

    Chen Maosheng got up and bowed: "Your Majesty, I guarantee with my life that Liu Shangshu will never condone the tribe."

    Li Banghua sighed, took off his official hat and knelt down: "I invite you to be an official!"

    Well, the matter has exploded, and the second assistant to the cabinet will also resign.

    Zhao Han half-closed his eyes and said angrily, "Are you threatening me?"

    "Don't dare!"

    Li Banghua and Liu Anfeng answered in unison.

    Zhao Han asked Xiao Huan: "Has the Quzhou case been verified?"

    Xiao Huan replied: "Basically, it has been verified, and the arrest has been ordered. The charges mentioned by the minister just now are definitely not wrong. After the arrest and interrogation, new cases may be involved."

    "Then, without waiting for the case in Quzhou to be concluded, I will personally decide the officials involved in the central government," Zhao Han glanced at the ministers, "Li Banghua, the second minister of the cabinet, is not strict in his family management, and has lost his title and added officials.  .Retain the secondary assistant position, and pay a three-month fine. If there is any corruption among members of his clan, he will be dismissed immediately and return to his hometown!"

    Xiao Huan was taken aback, and suddenly raised his head to look at the emperor.

    Officer Cao, who was recording the content of the court meeting, also trembled with fright, and a ball of ink was fainted on the paper.

    Conquering nobles, there are not many nobles in the Datong New Dynasty, and there are some who are not officials like Zheng Zhilong.  Directly winning the title, the punishment is already extremely severe.

    As for the promotion, Li Banghua's promotion is the Prince Shaoshi, which is also an extremely honorable title.

    The promotion was also taken away!

    What did Li Banghua do?

    He is a grandniece of a clan who is only married to Zheng Hongyi's son.

    Li Banghua has lived in Nanjing for several years, and has many nephews in his family. He probably doesn't know about this marriage.

    Xiao Huan really wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare to persuade him, so he could only sit there in a daze.

    Other officials did not dare to intercede.

    Zhao Han also said: "Liu Anfeng, who is not strict in family management, was demoted to one level, and was dismissed from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Change it to what, let the Ministry of Officials arrange it!"

    Liu Anfeng roared angrily: "Your Majesty, please resign! If you are not lax in managing your family, don't be so stigmatized!"

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully: "Okay, you can retire."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Liu Anfeng picked up his official hat, returned to his seat and sat down.

    Zhao Han continued: "Zheng Tongfu, demoted to five ranks, transferred to Luzon, and not allowed to return for ten years!"

    This man is completely devastated.

    Although the Ministry of Industry and Construction Division Langzhong is only the fifth rank, he is a real position with real power, and his status crushes the magistrate of the fourth rank.

    Moreover, Zheng Tongfu, as the head of the Youshui Yamen, was honest, capable and diligent, and had long been remembered by the emperor.  This kind of person, as long as he lives another twenty years, he will be a minister at worst, and maybe he can be the chief assistant!

    Now he has been demoted to five ranks and thrown to Luzon, plus he is not allowed to return to the court for ten years.

    This is more cruel than killing him directly!

    Zheng Tongfu's soul has been shelled out, like a dead body, and he can't hear what Zhao Han said at all.

    The next day, Zhao Han received news that Zheng Tongfu committed suicide at home.

 Text 535 [Peasants and Soldiers Hearing Orders]

    Xu Laosan was a retired soldier who was shot through the shoulder at close range by Wu Zhenchao, a Tartar soldier.

    ? Although the injury has healed, the right arm cannot be exerted too much strength, and even doing farm work is somewhat affected.  After he retired from the army and returned home, he served as the chief instructor of farmers and soldiers in the town. He had no grade or salary, but he could go to the county government to receive an instructor's subsidy every year.

    Going to the fields to farm when he is busy, and calling farmers and soldiers for training when he is free, this is the living condition of Xu Laosan.

    Seedlings are about to be jointed. One month from transplanting to jointing is a critical period for rice harvests, and a lot of nutrients are needed to grow rice organs.

    The eldest son is studying in elementary school, and the second son and eldest daughter, who have not yet reached school age, come to help topdress the seedlings today.

    Xu Laosan and his wife each carried a basket of silkworm dung, and a son and a daughter followed them, spreading the silkworm dung evenly in the rice field.  Don't topdress too much at one time, it will kill the seedlings, so you have to apply appropriate amount of topdressing every three to five times.

    After being busy for a while, someone came to the edge of the field and asked loudly, "But veteran Xu Zhengliang?"

    "It's me." Youngest Xu looked at him suspiciously.

    This person stood on the ridge of the field, opened his bag, took out a piece of clothing, and quickly put on the white uniform on his body: "Cao Benshu, the Inspector of Integrity of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials in Quzhou. The Ministry of War has dispatched orders here.  Veteran Xu Zhengliang immediately returned to the team to assist the Integrity Inspector in arresting criminals!"

    "yes!"

    The peasants who had just bent over to fertilize, straightened up like a conditioned reflex, and saluted the incorruptible officer under the sun.

    Xu Laosan put the silkworm manure on the edge of the field, told his wife and children a few words, and followed Cao Benshu away.  As he walked, he said, "The Ministry of War sent me an order to take a look at. The Shangguan took it, and I can just look at it. I touched the silkworm dung with both hands, and it was still dirty."

    Cao Benshu took out the dispatch order of the Ministry of War, and took out his waist badge, explaining: "The officials in Quzhou are very gangsters. Afraid of leaking the news, they can only call farmers and soldiers to arrest people."

    "It should be caught!"

    Xu Laosan no longer doubted, and said: "We peasants and soldiers are not allowed to manage local affairs, and we can't do anything when we see corrupt officials. It's good that you come here. The mayors, village chiefs, and peasant association chiefs here are all bad people. They  Don’t dare to provoke farmers and soldiers, but dare to bully farmers who have no support. The canals that everyone built together, now let other farmers irrigate the fields after they irrigate the fields.”

    "Is there such a thing?" Cao Benshu was even more angry.

    Xu Laosan said: "These bastards can do a lot of bad things."

    Cao Benshu said angrily: "Village officials and peasant associations can occupy the canal, so who will contribute to repairing the canal in the future?"

    "Isn't it?" Xu Laosan said angrily, "Going back a few years, the village head and the peasant association ordered the whole village, men, women, and children to build roads and dig ditches. Now there is no more shouting, and everyone is unwilling to contribute  , the village head had to lead someone to whip him with a whip."

    "The first one is to arrest the village chief!" Cao Benshu was furious.

    Xu Laosan's trouser legs were still rolled up, and mud remained on his feet and calves.  He walked to the drying yard in the village, where there was an iron plate hanging, which could be used as an iron bell to ring.

    "Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

    From time to time, peasants and soldiers who were working quickly came from the field, and seven or eight of them came in a blink of an eye.

    Xu Laosan commanded: "Xu Er, you go to the east of the village to ring the bell. Liu Si, you go to the west of the village to ring the bell. Zhang Da, you go to inform the peasants and soldiers of Huangtou Village. Zhang San when all the groups are assembled, we will  Gather at the training ground outside the town!"

    "yes!"

    One after another, the peasants and soldiers followed the orders.

    They carried neither weapons nor armor.  He was even barefoot, with trouser legs rolled up, exactly like a farmer.

    But the action was extremely fast and methodical.

    The village head and the villagers didn't take it seriously, thinking that the imperial court was going to fight again, and urgently called up peasants and soldiers to fight.

    At noon, all the farmers and soldiers in the town arrived, except for one who was sick.

    Xu Laosan shouted: "Go to the armory, fully armed!"

    Everyone knew it was an urgent task, so they queued up and ran to the armory without asking too many questions.

    All the bamboo armor, bamboo helmets, wooden shields and bamboo spears are all made by farmers and soldiers.  It is vulnerable to the regular army, but it is not a problem to wipe out the rogue bandits.

    "Stand at attention!"

    "Look to the right, look forward. Take a break!"

    "A team obeys orders!"

    "exist!"

    "Surround the town office, and all the officials inside will be detained. If the mayor Zheng Changming is not there, ask where he is, and search and arrest immediately!"

    "yes!"

    "The second team obeys the order!"

    "exist!"

    "Go to NiuThe door, otherwise it is a crime of resisting the decree!  "

    The gate of the city was opened, and farmers and soldiers filed in.

    After entering the city, Dai Wenmeng yelled: "All the police officers in the city, hand over your weapons, and return to your own yamen, waiting for someone from the department to come to inspect! The peasants and soldiers went to the yamen in the city to arrest people according to the established tasks. Not a single official was allowed to release them."  Let's go, I want to take the trial slowly!"

    The people in the city panicked at first, thinking that the peasants and soldiers rebelled.

    Immediately after seeing the peasants and soldiers arresting the officials, they immediately understood and walked out of the house to watch the excitement.

    There are also many people who have been bullied, running with the peasants and soldiers, telling which officials are bad guys.  When they saw the bully being arrested, they were so excited that they burst into tears and knelt down on the spot and shouted: "Long live Your Majesty, long live Lord Qingtian!"

    ?Integrity officials handle cases at the local level and cannot be tried alone. They must be juried by local judicial officials throughout the process.

    On the side of Quzhou Prefecture, there are three counties and one prefecture. If the village and town levels are counted, more than 300 officials and civilians have been arrested.  After arresting all the people, they went to Hangzhou to inform Yousi Yamen, which scared the top officials of Zhejiang into ashes.

    Quzhou government is so rotten, why don't the judicial and clean government officials in Zhejiang know anything about it?

    The first and second leaders of the relevant agencies in the province will all be held accountable!

    In the slightest, he will be demoted, in severe cases, he will be dismissed from office!  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 536 [Why bother?  】

    Hangzhou.

    Gan Dashou, Director of Zhejiang Officials' Selection Office, received news of the landslide in Quzhou's officialdom, sat for a long time, and finally uttered two words: "It's over!"

    ?For the selection and promotion of officials at all levels, the Ministry of Officials is only responsible for magistrates and above.

    ?The Provincial Officials Election Office can directly appoint officials below the seventh rank in prefectures, prefectures and counties.  If there is a shortage of officials below the fifth grade, they can directly appoint agents.  Officials from the seventh rank to the fifth rank can be recommended to the Ministry of Officials with a resume, and the Ministry of Officials will decide whether to choose after review.  Great power!

    ?The official bureaus and official departments in prefectures and counties have similar responsibilities to the official election hall, and the officials they can manage are of different grades.

    With so many county officials arrested in Quzhou Prefecture, Gan Dashou was 100% held accountable.

    This old man was born in Juren, and he arrested the general soldier Yang Jiamo and went to join Zhao Han.  First, I will be the magistrate of Xiangshan County, and then I will be promoted step by step, and then I will be able to participate in politics (this official position has been restored, the deputy province in charge of specific affairs), and even be transferred to the Ministry of officials.  Be the right servant.

    "check!"

    Desperate for a while, Gan Dashou suddenly stood up, slapped the table and shouted: "Zhejiang Official Selection Office, immediately check and correct yourself, which bastard has colluded with the Quzhou officialdom!"

    We can only make up for it, maybe we can catch one or two moths, so that Gan Dashou can make up for it.

    While the official election hall was flying like dogs and dogs, Zhang Ruohai from the Zhejiang Integrity Office was about to cry.  Of course he had heard about the situation in Quzhou Mansion, but he didn't think it was a big problem because of his face.

    Who ever thought that those guys would pierce the sky and even forcibly seize the farmers' land.

    Having no choice but to think about it, Zhang Ruohai simply wrote a letter, hoping that Hu Dinggui could help him intercede.

    After writing a distress letter, Zhang Ruohai became even more depressed, and quietly burned the letter by himself.  Firstly, Hu Dinggui was in Liaodong, so he was able to deliver the letter in the Year of the Monkey; secondly, he knew the emperor's temper, and pleading with important ministers might be counterproductive.

    When Hu Dinggui led the army, he did a year of Nanchang classics and history, and Zhang Ruohai was the magistrate of Nanchang County at that time.

    ?The friendship between Zhang Ruohai and Hu Dinggui, just like that between Liu Anfeng and Chen Maosheng, is so strong that it cannot be any stronger.  Since it doesn't help the matter, Zhang Ruohai doesn't want to bother his friends, and if Hu Dinggui is implicated, it will be impossible to deal with it.

    After burning the distress letter, Zhang Ruohai wrote another memorial, admitting that he was a vegetarian, but he absolutely did not take bribes.  He asked the emperor to conduct a thorough investigation of the Zhejiang Integrity Department. After the review, he would take the blame and resign.

    Sent someone to send the memorial to Nanjing, and Zhang Ruohai personally took action to seal up all the files of the Anti-corruption Office, and no one was allowed to come in and touch them.

    He also restrained the officials of the Office of Integrity, and no one was allowed to leave Hangzhou City for half a step unless they received an order from their superiors.

    After finishing all this, Zhang Ruohai guarded the file room, slumped on a chair, feeling ashamed.

    ?He was born in a family of self-employed farmers, not to mention being a scholar, he was not even counted as a child, and he had only studied for a few years in Kaimeng.  If he hadn't rebelled with Zhao Han, he would never have thought of being an official in his life.

    Now not only is he an official, but he is also a fourth-rank official, which is truly glorious.

    Zhang Ruohai, as the leader of Zhejiang's clean government system, knows how severely the imperial court investigates and punishes corrupt officials, so he never dared to be corrupt from the beginning to the end.  But he didn't want to offend the central boss, so he chose to turn a blind eye to some things.

    To put it bluntly, it is a mediocre official and a fool!

    Now I am fooling myself into it.

    Zhang Ruohai really wants to go back to those years. Although there is only half of Jiangxi's territory, everyone is very passionate and motivated.  He led the officials and people of the whole county to fight against floods and rescue disasters. The common people sincerely supported him and regarded himself as the master of the blue sky who rescued the suffering.

    How did you get to where you are now?

    Zhang Ruohai remembered that when he was studying, he hated corrupt and mediocre officials, and now he himself has become a mediocre official.

    Liu Anyong, the magistrate of Quzhou Prefecture, was reported two years ago, and Zhang Ruohai knew that there was something wrong with him early on.  But he just pretended not to know, and became completely blind and deaf. Zhang Ruohai was absolutely to blame for Quzhou's officialdom

    Zhao Han said to let Xiao Huan try the case himself, but there is really no need for the head of the procuratorate to come forward.

    So, the second in command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came.

    Hearing that Zou Guangdi presided over the trial, Liu Anyong fainted from shock.

    The bamboo tube is like beans poured down, saying what you have to say, not daring to hide a little bit.

    ?Zou Guangdi once had a massacre in Guangzhou, not only dealing with local officials, but also dealing with bribery merchants, making the then Secretary of Integrity famous in the first battle!

    "How?" Zou Guangdi asked.

    Dai Wenmeng replied: "I don't want to say anything, I have been working all the time, and I guess I still think that someone will come to rescue me."He said: "Many Zheng family members have become mayors and village chiefs, and they also bought officials?"

    Zheng Hongyi replied: "Wang Yi and Ouyang Fang from the Officials Election Bureau of Quzhou Prefecture, Pan Zhen and Hong Tai from the Officials Selection Section in Xi'an County, Qin Zhensheng and Wang Huan from the Officials Selection Section in Longyou Countythese people all accepted me.  silver."

    Zou Guangdi suddenly did not ask about the content of the crime, but curiously said: "I have investigated many cases over the years, and the perpetrators are only for money. As far as I know, your ticket number, jewelry, mine, even if they are normal  Legal business, all of which can be called making money every day. You colluded with officials to do so many things, and you didn’t seem to make any money. Instead, you poured money into it, and even if you made money, it went into the pockets of your relatives. You risked beheading  Dangerous, what is the purpose of doing these things?"

    Zheng Hongyi couldn't answer because he didn't know either.

    After thinking for a long time, Zheng Hongyi said in an uncertain tone: "Perhaps, it is for the sake of majesty. No matter where you go, everyone has to be in awe, and everyone has to call Zheng Ye. My relatives, near and far, regard me as a  The ancestors are offering sacrifices, if I don’t settle their troubles for them, how can I be an ancestor?”

    Zou Guangdi was speechless, this was the first time he met such a principal criminal.

    To do such a big thing, to kill his own son, it's all just for the sake of face.

    Why bother?  &lt;/div&gt

    The governor of Zhejiang left and right was fined for three months.

    These two are purely unlucky. As the first and second leaders in the province, although they control the overall situation, they mainly focus on civil affairs, economics and education issues, which are also the main considerations for political achievements.

    All they know is that the taxes in Quzhou Prefecture have been increasing, the population has been increasing, and there are more and more businesses and schools.

    ?As for the administration of officials, even if it is repeatedly emphasized, it is impossible to do it by yourself, let alone go to Quzhou Prefecture to investigate in person.

    ? The three-month salary penalty seems to be taken lightly, but it has a great impact on official career.

    Their positions may be transferred to the central government at any time. Once they become officials in the capital, they will start out as servants.  Being fined now is tantamount to being remembered by the emperor, and he will not be promoted within three to five years.

    Gan Dashou, director of the Zhejiang Officials' Selection Office, did not commit any corruption, but he failed to check his officials, was demoted by one level, and transferred to Guizhou.

    ? Zhang Ruohai, director of the Zhejiang Anti-corruption Department, did not commit any corruption, but his corpse was a vegetarian meal, he was demoted three levels, and transferred to Guangxi.

    Both Zheng Hongyi and Feng Risheng were beheaded to show the public. The Zheng and Feng clans confiscated all their property, and the main clan was exiled to Taiwan.  Zheng's side branch, divided into ten households, and relocated with Luling Liu's.  Feng's side branch, divided into ten households, and relocated with Li's in Jishui.

    ?Relocation expenses in other places shall be borne by Zheng, Feng, Liu and Li.

    After these four families relocate, I'm afraid they will be able to play each other's brains!

    ?In the Zhejiang officialdom earthquake, in addition to fines, demotions, and dismissals, a total of 17 officials were beheaded, another 62 officials were exiled to Taiwan, and dozens of officials were imprisoned or fined.

    Imperial Garden.

    Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, Tian Younian were recruited, and Chen Maosheng, Fei Chun, Xiaohong, Xiao Huan, Xu Ying, Song Yingxing and others were also there.

    Zhao Han raised his glass and said, "There are no rulers and ministers today, and everyone is old acquaintances. Let Mr. Tian practice this cup!"

    Everyone raised their glasses.

    Holding the tea, Tian Younian said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring!"

    Since last winter, Tian Younian has often been ill in bed.  This time Li Banghua was confiscated, Tian Younian took the opportunity to resign, not wanting to drag his sick body to the cabinet.

    Zhao Han sent a doctor to see him several times, and it was indeed old and frail, so it was inconvenient to force him to stay.

    After three invitations and three resignations, Tian Younian was allowed to take up his post.

    Feng Yichun Hou, plus the title of Prince Taibao.

    This is an affirmation of Tian Younian: the first prefect of Daming who sincerely surrendered, and at a critical moment, made military equipment for the Datong Army Supervisor.

    Li Banghua also wanted to go home from illness, but at the age of seventy-one, he was still in good spirits.

    Don't look at Pang Chunlai's middle-aged white hair, his skin has become more rosy these years.  He adopted two sons and one daughter successively, and he is still unmarried so far, and his servants usually take care of his daily life.

    "Tell me, what do you guys think of this case?" Zhao Han looked casual while eating the cake.

    Chen Maosheng said angrily: "It's only been a few years since we strictly investigated all places? The peasant associations are actually rotten!"

    After being confiscated, Li Banghua looked away: "We should establish a system, and how should officials deal with crimes committed by relatives. It doesn't matter to me that I am old. Liu Anfeng is in his prime. It is not worthwhile for him to be implicated and resign."

    Everyone was speechless and at a loss for what to do.

    In ancient times, there were various taboos about being an official. For example, if you are a seventh-rank official, you have to be an official in a different place, and you must be appointed across provinces.  For example, Su, Song, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are tax-heavy areas, and they are not allowed to serve as household officials to prevent them from reducing taxes for their hometowns.  For another example, brothers, uncles and nephews of the same clan are not allowed to be officials in the same department.

    However, most of them are unspoken rules, not hard and fast rules.  When the son took the imperial examination, his father was not allowed to read the papers, and some people blatantly violated it. Yang Shenkao's number one scholar was his father who read the papers.

    "The fifth service involves too much, and the third service should be held accountable together." Zhao Han actually had no choice.

    In other words, throughout the ages, dynasties, and even hundreds of years later, it is impossible to avoid this kind of thing.

    Pang Chunlai thought about it: "What if someone uses this as a means of political struggle in the future?"

    Zhao Han said: "As an important minister of the cabinet, if the three servants can't control him, then he will have no face to stay in the post!"

    Sanfu relatives are close relatives within three generations, such as your cousins.

    According to this standard, neither Li Banghua nor Liu Anfeng will be involved this time.

    Li Banghua expressed no objection, and he planned to move all close relatives within three generations who were not officials to Nanjing.

    Zhao Han also said: "The big clans in various places have to continue to separate and move, and some in Henan and Shandong have land resettlement. This time it is not persuasion, but the clan must be forced to relocate!"

    Chen Maosheng said: "Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate the peasant associations everywhere!"

    &nbsp; Zhao Han asked: "How about the Mongolian ministries?"

    Xu Ying said with a smile: "There are several Mongolian tribes, and I can guarantee that they will turn against each other."

    Zhao Han asked, "Where is Li Zicheng?"

    Xu Ying replied: "Some hypocritical generals were dissatisfied with the appointment of troops with the Tartars. Because when they fought against the Tartars, they had many relatives and friends, and they died at the hands of the Tartars. Also, when the Tartars occupied Shanshan and Shaanxi, they did a lot of evil.  , Harm the common people. Pseudo-shun generals, most of them came from Shanshan, and many people from the village were killed. On the contrary, we have never fought against the pseudo-shun, and the pseudo-shun generals are more willing to join us in fighting the Tartars."

    Zhao Han said: "Send secret agents to contact Li Zicheng's generals, and they say that as long as they return to obedience and make meritorious service, they will follow the old rules in Shandong and Henan battlefields. Hao Yaoqi, who was killed last year, did too much evil and deserves to be beheaded. Let them not be afraid,  Surrender with confidence. Hehe, it doesn’t matter whether you surrender or not, you must spread the news.”

    "Understood, let the generals of the Pseudo-Shun ministries suspect and distrust each other!" Xu Ying said.

    Zhao Han got up and paced the garden, his thoughts had already flown to the north.

 Body 538【Tianjin War】

    Beijing.

    When Li Zicheng came to this city again, it was dilapidated and desolate.

    ? Once a large city with a population of one million, it has experienced wars, plagues, famines and plunders. Many died and fled. Now the city has less than one hundred thousand people.

    This is the result of Liu Zongmin's governance in Beijing for two full years.

    However, the ecology around Beijing has improved. The once bare mountain peaks are now covered with vegetation.  The occupation of woodcutter reappeared, and the residents of Beijing did not need to burn coal for cooking every day.

    "The Tartars haven't moved yet?" Li Zicheng asked.

    Liu Zongmin said: "Haoge sent someone to deliver a letter, let us go to fight Bazhou first. As long as Bazhou is surrounded, they will cooperate to fight Tianjin, so that the puppet army can take care of one thing and lose another."

    "It doesn't matter whoever strikes first, you have to work together to win." Li Zicheng's tone was rather helpless.

    The troops of the Datong Army in Hebei are deployed on the front lines of Tianjin, Bazhou, Baoding, Zhending, and Shunde.  The west and north of this line all belong to Li Zicheng's territory.

    Li Zicheng can retreat to Shanxi at any time and rely on the mountain to defend.  However, the Datong army could not retreat, and there was a great plain behind them, so they could only defend the city with heavy troops.

    Li Zicheng's total army strength is about 100,000, which is already the limit for raising troops in Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Gansu.

    He didn't dare to divide his troops to attack Henan, so he could only concentrate on attacking Hebei, and he had to cooperate with the Manchus.

    Li Zicheng has never experienced the combat power of the Datong Army, but he has defeated the Eight Banners Army many times, and everyone knows that it is a first-class strong soldier.

    Liu Zongmin said worriedly: "This battle is not easy to fight. Bazhou has Fei Ruhe, and Tianjin has Zhang Mingshan (Zhang Tieniu). Both of them are famous generals in the world. After listening to the news from Xiaozuo, Fei Ruhe has been named the rear army general  Commander, take command of the battle in Hebei. If we go to fight Bazhou, it is equivalent to attacking the commander-in-chief of the puppet army."

    "How about besieging the city and fighting for aid?" Li Zicheng asked.

    "I can only try it." Liu Zongmin didn't hold out hope.

    Fei Ruhe's first division was stationed in Bazhou.

    Zhang Tieniu's second division was stationed in Tianjin.

    Huang Shun's seventh division was stationed in Baoding (Fucheng).

    Wan Sitong's Sixteenth Division is stationed in Xiong County.

    Li Dingguo's 17th Division was stationed in Shunde.

    There are also counties such as Baoding, Xin'an, Anzhou, and Jinghai. Each city has a garrison of at least 3,000 troops, all of whom are farmers, soldiers and police forces.  Including the regular army, there are as many as 70,000 to 80,000 people in total.

    The Datong Army did not move out, and they all stayed in the city.

    However, Li Zicheng had a total of 100,000 people, and he had to stay at the pass to prevent the Datong army from Henan from attacking Shanxi.  He can bring about 80,000 people to the Hebei battlefield.

    With a one-to-one force, how do you storm the cities?

    Of course, Li Zicheng brought a large number of civilian men and auxiliary soldiers, and he claimed to "send 500,000 troops".

    Li Zicheng looked at the map and said: "If we encircle Bazhou, all the puppet troops in Beizhili will come to attack us. At that time, the Tartars will be able to surround Tianjin with heavy troops, and there will be no puppet reinforcements there. Can the Tartars  Fight as soon as you fight, and leave if you can’t fight, the tough battle is all ours. How can there be such a good thing?"

    This is related to the situation of the three parties. The Manchu Qing sent troops to attack North China, and they had to fight Zhang Tieniu in Tianjin.  However, when the Datong army was attacked, they could only save Bazhou first. If they directly rescued Tianjin, they would be blocked by Bazhou, and it would take time and effort to spare the road from the south.

    How could Li Zicheng stand in the front by himself and let Manqing take advantage of it quietly?

    Since ancient times, the coalition forces have always been like this. They are all calculating each other, and it is impossible to work together.

    Li Zicheng said: "Contact the Tartars, let's besiege Tianjin with him, and fight for aid in the besieged city of Tianjin together."

    Liangcheng Institute.

    This place is in the north of Ninghe District, Tianjin City, and now it has become the place where troops and food were stationed after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs.

    From Shanhaiguan to here, there are not many people along the way, and it is impossible for the Tartars to solve the military ration problem on the spot.  It can only be transported from the west of Liaoning. The journey is very long, and it is easy for the Datong army to land on the Duanliang Road by boat, so Hauge is extremely cautious.

    In Funing, Changli, Luanzhou (Luanxian County), Kaiping (Tangshan), these cities along the way, the Manchus and the Qing Dynasty stationed at least 3,000 people, and directly more than 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers were forced to stay and guard the food road.

    The Manchu nobles are scared by the Datong Navy!

    The army brought to Liangcheng by Hauge was only more than 60,000.  More than 10,000 of them were Mongolian cavalry from the Outer Domain. These people no longer wanted to fight against the Manchus.

    "Li Zicheng wants to fight Tianjin with us, what do you think?" Hauge asked.

    Man Dahai said: "What else can I think? If you disagree, Li, personally held a sword to inspect the city defense, and handed over the dispatch of materials in the city to Gao Eryan.  As for the real "generals" who lead the troops, one is the county Dianshi (the chief of the public security bureau), leading the police force of the whole city; the other is the retired military officer in charge of the county's farmers and soldiers.

    Thousands of soldiers, even ordinary people came to assist in the defense, with rolling logs, falling stones, gold juice, and vegetable oil all prepared.

    Unfortunately, the enemy ran away.

    Thousands of cavalry, scattered into three groups, went to the villages and towns in the countryside of Jinghai to plunder.

    After the cavalry of the Chahar Department separated from the Eight Banners cavalry for two miles, Zuo Xiaocheng caught up with Daiqin on horseback.

    "Daiqin, I said, there is no one around, and the Han people have already withdrawn," Zuo Xiaocheng said, "This is the usual route of the Datong Army. The counties near the battlefield will be cleared in advance."

    Dai Qin said: "Go farther away before dismounting to rest, don't be seen by those Eight Banners soldiers."

    After running another mile, Daiqin sent out spies, who scattered around to watch, and the rest all got off their horses to goof off.

    Since there is nothing to grab, why bother?

    Zuo Xiaocheng said: "Daiqin, let me answer, which side do you think can win?"

    "I don't know." Dai Qin shook his head.

    Zuo Xiaocheng asked again: "If the Qing Dynasty wins, what benefits will Chahar have?"

    Dai Qin said: "There is no benefit. Our Chahar tribe has always been guarded by the nobles of Manchuria. We are the ones who fight tough battles, but we are not there when it comes to benefits."

    "Then why fight? Join the Datong Army!" Zuo Xiaocheng blurted out.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 539【Tianjin cannot fight】

    Zuo Xiaocheng went to Liaodong once and gave Dorgon a gift on behalf of his lover.

    However, no one in the Manchu Qing Dynasty wanted to see him, and the traitors there were already involved, and they were always on guard against the new traitors who came to power.

    There was no good development in Liaodong, Zuo Xiaocheng immediately returned to the Chahar Department.

    Although he slept with the wife of the leader of Chahar, he really did not suffer from hostility.  The main reason is that Zuo Xiaocheng is good at making friends and can get food from Zhangjiakou. Although there is not much food, it still makes the nobles of the Chahar Department very happy.

    By the way, the wool from the Chahar Department was also purchased by Zuo Xiaocheng, and thrown to Cao Fengji for trafficking to the south.

    Cao Fengji brought back the salt and tea and asked Zuo Xiaocheng to sell some to the Chahar Ministry.

    After coming and going, Zuo Xiaocheng was particularly respected, and he worshiped everywhere in the Chahar Department.  In this battle, I also took the initiative to invite Ying to go south with the troops.

    Dai Qin was taken aback, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, "Do you have a way?"

    Zuo Xiaocheng said: "Yes, I am a brother of the family. I am a minister in the Datong court. The minister is a very big official. I met the emperor when I followed him."

    Dai Qin doubted: "If the Qing Dynasty wins, Dorgon will take revenge on our Chahar Department."

    "The Manchus can't win," Zuo Xiaocheng asked, "Do you know how many soldiers there are in the Datong court?"

    "I don't know." Dai Qin shook his head.

    Zuo Xiaocheng said: "The Datong Army has seventeen divisions, and each division has 10,000 people. There are also other independent battalions, independent brigades, independent regiments, and garrison teams, which add up to 200,000 people. These 200,000 soldiers  , no farming, no grazing, just drills and wars. They have to drill every day, and only rest three or five days a month."

    Dai Qin was dumbfounded, there were a total of 200,000 soldiers, and they were still soldiers who only cared about fighting and training.

    Zuo Xiaocheng also said: "In addition to the 200,000 soldiers, the Datong court also had farmers and soldiers. There are millions of soldiers who farm and fight."

    Dai Qin swallowed, he couldn't imagine what an army of one million would look like.

    Zuo Xiaocheng continued: "Don't look at the Datong army here, the number is not comparable to that of the Manchus and Dashun. But there are Datong troops fighting in Henan and Liaodong, and now I am afraid they are all fighting Dorgon and Li Zicheng's lair."

    Dai Qin was silent, weighing gains and losses.

    Zuo Xiaocheng fanned the flames and said: "The Chahar tribe is the tribe of the Mongolian Khan. Although the Mongolian Khan is dead, how could the Manchu not guard against it? Have the Manchus been suppressing Chahar all these years? Before  Did the Mongolian tribes that belonged to Chahar also follow the Manchus to suppress Chahar? Whether it is the Manchus or the Mongolian tribes, who would like to see the Chahar tribe become stronger again?  Does the Hal Department still have a bright future?"

    These words really moved Dai Qin.

    Among all the outer Mongolian tribes, the Chahar tribe is the most difficult.  The Manchus were on guard, and so were the other Mongolian tribes, for fear that the Chahar tribe would revive one day.

    Zuo Xiaocheng is still nagging: "In these years, how many warriors of Chahar have died in battle?  The pasture is grazing!"

    Suddenly, Dai Qin gritted his teeth and said: "Xiaocheng, I answer, I listen to you, the Chahar Department can't go on like this!"

    The reason why Zuo Xiaocheng said the surrender was so smooth was because what Zuo Xiaocheng said was the truth.

    Historically, even after the Manchu Qing unified China, the Chahar tribe was finally forced to rebel, and the handling of the counter-insurgency was extremely severe.

    At that time, all the nobles of Chahar were convicted, and the leader of Chahar was beheaded.  The tribe was dispersed and immigrated to other places to graze.  It also stipulates that the Chahar Banner is not included in the Forty-Nine Banners of Mongolia, officials cannot be hereditary, and affairs cannot be taken care of by themselves.  Then, Mongolian herdsmen such as Balhu and Buryat were moved in and mixed with the Chahar tribe.  Then forced the Chahar tribe who moved westward to farm, changing from nomadic to farming.

    The most powerful tribe in Mongolia was completely dismembered by the Qing Dynasty.

    Daiqin wanted to call all his subordinates to lecture, but Zuo Xiaocheng stopped him and said: "There are too many people with mixed eyes, so as not to leak the news. It's not that I don't trust the Chahar warriors, but it is inevitable that some people will say the wrong thing. Just tell a few trustworthy people  Leader, at the critical moment of the battle, deal a fatal blow to Man Qing!"

    "good!"

    Daiqin recruited a few nobles with troops, followed Zuo Xiaocheng's speech, and made these Chahar nobles feel righteous indignation on the spot.

    Their hearts have been dissatisfied for a long time, like a wooden barrel full of gunpowder, it will explode if someone teases it.

    So these nobles whispered to their cronies again.

    By the time they returned to the camp in Tianjin, more than half of the Chahar cavalry already knew they were going to defect.??, we agreed to attack the city together, and we will support each other when we encounter puppet reinforcements.  You didn't say a word and withdrew to Dingzigu, what the hell am I doing here?  The Puppet Reinforcement Army really came, and I, a Manchurian warrior, would have to be made dumplings!

    But Li Zicheng didn't dare to stay, the Triangle Lake had already been occupied by the Datong Army.  As long as there are enough ships, the 10,000 Datong Army can appear behind Li Zicheng anytime and anywhere in a small boat under the cover of reeds.

    "Move to the east!" Hauge could only withdraw.

    Not only did Hauge want to withdraw to the east of the city, but he even wanted to withdraw directly to Liaodong. What the hell kind of fight is this?

    The west and south sides of Tianjin are reserved, so where is the siege?  Reinforcements and food and grass can be continuously transported into Tianjin through the canal.

    However, Li Zicheng withdrew to the north, and Hauge withdrew to the west, which were the two most difficult walls to attack.  Weihe River and Haihe River are enough for them to fill slowly, and then fill in the moat after filling.

    Standing on the tower, Zhang Tieniu looked at the transferred enemy troops with a binoculars, and immediately laughed: "This is just kidding me."&lt;/div&gt

 Main body 540 [Army Confrontation]

    In order to avoid refueling tactics, the army led by Fei Ruhe did not arrive in Tianjin until a full month later.

    During this period, troops have been gathering in Bazhou.

    The four divisions of Fei Ruhe, Huang Shun, Wan Sitong, and Li Dingguo joined forces, plus some peasant and soldier troops, and there were 50,000 people capable of fighting.  There are also a large number of civilians and boats, which come here continuously from the Huitong River and the Grand Canal.

    The Huitong River in the late Ming Dynasty must first flow into the Triangle Lake and then connect with the Grand Canal.

    In addition to the civilian husbands, more than 100,000 people camped between the Triangle Lake and the Grand Canal, where Li Zicheng camped before.

    There is the Triangle Lake in the north, the Grand Canal in the south, and the small river connecting the Triangle Lake and the Grand Canal in the east. It is a narrow strip of seven or eight miles from north to south and tens of miles from east to west.

    If Li Zicheng and Hauge wanted to fight over, they had to attack from Sanjiaodian Lake or the Grand Canal. Crossing the small river to the east was the easiest way to attack.

    The war is completely deadlocked!

    Due to the terrain, whoever attacks will suffer.  Li Zicheng and Hauge could only keep filling the river with soil and bombarding the city wall.  Moreover, before the Weihe River and the Haihe River were filled, they had to shell from the outside. The distance was too far, and whether they could hit the city wall depended on God's will.

    "Your Majesty, we can't continue fighting like this," Dashun General Dang Shousu said. "The military rations of the Puppet Tong can be easily transported from the south along the Grand Canal. We don't have much food in Hebei, and the military rations have to be transported from Shanxi."  Come on. If we keep stalemate for a few months, we will run out of food."

    Zhang Nai said: "Your Majesty, why don't you lead the cavalry secretly and go around Bazhou and Baoding counties. If the puppet army in Hebei goes out together, Bazhou must be empty!"

    Yuan Zongdi said: "No matter how empty Bazhou is, there are still thousands of defenders. How can your cavalry be defeated?"

    Zhang Nai said: "If Bazhou cannot be defeated, we will attack Yuanjiakou between Bazhou and Baoding County. It is extremely important there. If you occupy Yuanjiakou, you can cut off the connection between Bazhou, Baoding and Tianjin."

    Yuanjiakou was originally called Jiakou Village, which was built by Chai Rong to resist the Khitan.

    ? Yang Yanlang, the inspector of the Song Dynasty, sent the school Wei Yuangui to garrison Jiakou Village, and built hidden piles in the water to train troops. Jiakou Village was renamed Yuanjiakou after that.

    In the story of Yang Jiajiang, Xiyingpan, where Yang Liulang stationed troops, is not far to the west of Yuanjiakou.

    How can it be possible not to send troops to garrison this kind of battleground as long as the mind is not confused?

    Li Zicheng shook his head and said, "Yuankou Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the waterway is convenient. It is not far or near. It is probably a place where the puppet army hoards food and grass. If you take cavalry to attack, even if you can take Bazhou, you will not be able to take Yuanjiakou."  .”

    "To win in danger, you have to try." Zhang Nai said.

    Li Zicheng had no other solution, so he had to say: "If you want to go, you can take two thousand horses. If you have too many horses, you will easily expose your whereabouts. If you can capture Yuankou Pass and burn all the food there, you will have won half of the battle."  .”

    Afraid of being discovered by the Datong Navy in Sanjiaodian, Zhang Nai led 2,000 cavalry and retreated to the vicinity of Yangcun before heading west across the Fenghe River.

    Zhang Nai replenished food and grass in Dong'an County, and then crossed the Hun River to Yongqing.

    Yongqing also belonged to Li Zicheng's territory. After a little supply, he went south to Xin'an Town.  He planned to cross the Huitong River quietly at night, and then rushed to Yuanjiakou by surprise.

    "Woo woo woo!!!"

    Not far from Xin'an Town, Zhang Nai's face turned ugly. He collided with the Datong dragoons, and the dragoons directly blew their warning horns.

    "Eat it!"

    Zhang Nai gave an order and rushed forward with the Dashun cavalry.  He has two thousand cavalry under his command, but the dragoons in front of him only have a few dozen cavalry.

    Those dragoons turned around and ran, unwilling to engage the enemy at all, and blowing their horns while running.

    After chasing two miles to the south, the number of dragoons suddenly increased.

    However, in order to protect the army rations, Fei Ruhe left a dragoon here, which would be sent out every day to investigate the enemy's situation.

    The general who commanded the cavalry was Jiang Yu, who surrendered first to Li Zicheng and then to Dorgon.  During the Battle of Henan, he took his family cavalry and voluntarily surrendered to the Datong Army. In order to cover the Datong Army, he forced Wu Sangui's cavalry to charge, and even his own brother was killed on the spot.

    Today, Jiang Yu is already the commander of the cavalry, shouldering the important task of protecting the army rations.

    Zhang Nai blew the order to signal the whole army to stop the pursuit.

    However, Jiang Yu took the initiative to mount his horse and shouted with a smile: "Which old man is on the other side? Why don't you submit to my Datong court?"

    The distance was too far, Zhang Nai couldn't hear clearly.

    At this moment, these Datong dragoons only gathered more than 800 cavalry, but they actively approached 2000 Dashun cavalry.

    &nbsThe more we dig, the more we dig, and if we go on like this, even if we can cross the river safely, attacking the camp will be the same as attacking the fortress.  If it continues to drag on, the rainy season in western Liaoning is coming, and it will be even more difficult to transport the army rations. At that time, it will inevitably be defeated due to lack of food.  "

    "It costs so much money and food, so this time it's just a waste of time?" Hauge was very unwilling.

    Man Dahai asked back: "Otherwise, what else can you do? Can you defeat Tianjin City, or destroy the Nanmanzi on the other side of the river?"

    Haug said: "Should we attack Jinghai County first without dividing our forces?"

    Man Dahai asked: "How much do you divide to fight? If you divide too little, you won't be able to fight. If you divide too much, there are few soldiers here, so Fei Ruhe will definitely attack."

    Hauge said: "Set up many empty camps, divide the troops quietly and leave, at least you can deceive the opponent for several days."

    Man Dahai said: "The Nanmanzi has a flying celestial sphere. Standing in the sky and looking through the binoculars, can you see that you are all empty camps? Even if you can't tell, can you guarantee to capture Jinghai County in a few days?"

    Fei Ruhe's use of soldiers is quite like Xu Da's.

    At that time, Wang Baobao had 100,000 soldiers and was in Taiyuan. Xu Da captured two strongholds and was busy building camps all the time, without the slightest sign of a decisive battle.

    It has always been a waste of time and rations, which made Wang Baobao unable to sit still.

    So Wang Baobao pretended to go to Dadu to lure Xu Da to send troops to rescue him, and wanted to fight Xu Da halfway.  As a result, Xu Da did not go to rescue Dadu at all, but went to attack Taiyuan where Wang Baobao had just left.

    Wang Baobao's siege and aid became Xu Da's siege and aid.

    Wang Baobao hurried back with his troops, wanting to fight Xu Da decisively.  Xu Da didn't move again, and devoted himself to strengthening the camp.

    Wang Baobao was very arrogant and impetuous, wanting to fight but not being able to win, so he let down his vigilance because of this, thinking that Xu Da would still stay in the camp all the time.

    ? Xu Da moved and sent troops to attack at night. Wang Baobao's tens of thousands of troops were wiped out overnight.

    As for the timing, Fei Ruhe is still hard to say, but his patience is definitely comparable to Xu Da.  Do you want to fight?  Hey, if I don't move, I won't move, I'm sick of you!

    Fei Ruhe didn't move, but the Datong army in Henan moved, and the direction of the troops was like a broken bamboo.

 Text 541 [Tongguan]

    If there is an army that directly kills Shanxi, it can be made into a horizontal version of the game.

    Shanxi is surrounded by mountains in all directions.  Moreover, there are mountains within mountains, which divide the whole province into countless small pieces. Even if one or two pieces are captured, don't rush to be happy, and you must be prepared to continue to break through.

    Taihang Eight Xing, the Datong Army in Henan, can only attack from Zhiguan Xing, Taihang Xing and Baixing.

    Among them, Taihang Xing is the most dangerous. Li Zicheng only needs to garrison a thousand people to withstand the attack of tens of thousands of Datong troops.

    Since Shanxi is so difficult to fight, why not go to Shaanxi?

    Liu Zhu's Eighth Division and Jiang Liang's Fifth Division set off from Luoyang, passed the Weihan Ancient Road, and headed straight for Guanzhong.

    Xiashi Pass, Yanling Pass, and Hangu Pass are all in the hands of the Datong Army.

    But there is still Tongguan blocking the front, and the general stationed at Tongguan is Tian Jianxiu.  Li Zicheng only named two generals Quan, one was Tian Jianxiu and the other was Liu Zongmin.

    The status of the two of them, if you insist on a metaphor, is similar to that of Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu.

    Counting tens of thousands of civilians, they came to Tongguan along the Yellow River.

    "Hiss!"

    Looking at the city wall of Tongguan, Jiang Liang gasped: "How do you fight?"

    Liu Zhu smiled and said, "Surely you can't hit hard."

    Liu Zhu has been stationed here for a long time, and he has personally explored the terrain and knows what Tongguan looks like.  It was Jiang Liang's first time here, and he was completely intimidated by this majestic pass.

    Due to the continuous erosion of rainwater and the continuous accumulation of sediment, the location of Tongguan is also constantly changing, which can be divided into Hantongguan, Suitongguan and Tangtongguan.

    But Zhu Yuanzhang is still rich and powerful, Mingtong Pass framed all the main roads, and directly built a city here!

    Therefore, it is not called Mingtong Pass now, and it is generally called Tongguan Mingcheng.

    The city is 16 meters high and has a circumference of 11.2 kilometers. It encloses several mountains in the city, and the two sections of the city wall built against the mountains are even more terrifyingly high than 30 meters.

    Datong soldiers and civilian husbands looked at Guancheng from a distance, and they all stood there dumbfounded.

    "Let's set up camp first," Liu Zhu said.

    Tian Jianxiu stood on the Guanlou, looked at the Datong army retreating to set up camp, and only said one sentence: "Every battalion must not relax!"

    After finishing speaking, Tian Jianxiu crossed the Yellow River in person again to inspect Fenglingdu on the other side of the river.

    Fenglingdu is the place where Yang Guo and Guo Xiang met for the first time. Guo Xiang's apprentice was later called Master Fengling.

    ? Although the Yellow River is turbulent, it ends at Fenglingdu River, and the flow of the river is relatively slow.  Generally speaking, Fenglingdu is where the army crosses the river, but Tian Jianxiu is still afraid that the Datong army will desperately cross the river downstream.

    Tian Jianxiu has never read "Three Kingdoms", but he also knows that the banks of the Yellow River must be guarded.

    After the Datong army set up camp, it was getting dark.

    Liu Zhu and Jiang Liang each inspected the barracks, and then called a meeting with the generals in the army.

    Wang Hui, who had returned from his meritorious service in Luzon, was directly promoted to the deputy commander of the Fifth Division due to the expansion of the army.  He raised a question: "Why did the Ministry of War let us attack Tongguan Xiongcheng? Don't say that we didn't bring heavy artillery, even if we brought heavy artillery, I'm afraid it won't collapse in two or three months."

    Jiang Liang said with a smile: "It's not easy. There are still two friendly armies that sent troops from Taihangxing and Baixing. They are also guarded by one man, and no one is allowed."

    Liu Zhu, who has changed his name to Liu Dingjue, seems to have really become a cultural person.  He smiled and asked: "Everyone knows that Ma Chao and Cao Cao once had a great battle here. At that time, Ma Chao was stationed in Tongguan, just like seeing a beautiful woman in that field, and Cao Cao led his troops to the west, just like us."

    Although Cao Bianjiao can write and count, and has read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", he has never read "Three Kingdoms".  He sucked his teeth and said, "That's not auspicious. Cao Cao was killed by Ma Chao and cut off his beard and discarded his robe."

    Liu Zhu shook his head and said: "That's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is a novel. It's different in "Three Kingdoms". From the beginning to the end, Ma Chao was played by Cao Cao, and finally he was defeated by Cao Cao!"

    "Hey, do you still read "Three Kingdoms"?" Jiang Liang suddenly joked, and he also changed his name to Jiang Daoxing, but in terms of cultural level, he was no better than Zhang Tieniu.

    Liu Zhu laughed and said, "Where can I read "Three Kingdoms"? Peng Xuanjiao told me. Peng Xuanjiao, come and tell everyone."

    Due to his short time in the army, Peng Shining was only a missionary officer at the brigade level, but he was born as a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, and he liked to read all kinds of miscellaneous books.

    Peng Shining took out a pen and paper, drew a simple map near Tongguan, pointed to the map and said:

    "When I learned that our army was going to attack Tongguan, I remembered the Battle of Tongguan during the Three Kingdoms period, and went back to Nanjing to check a lot of historical materials"

    &nbsThe defenders of Lingdu sent another 8,000 men to guard the river.

    Moreover, while the Datong Army was building fortifications, he also dug trenches frantically on the other side of the river.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The artillery of the Datong Army roared and fired at the Dashun Army on the opposite bank.

    The Yellow River channel here is five or six hundred meters wide at its widest point and only three or four hundred meters at its narrowest point, just within the range of artillery.

    Of course, he couldn't kill a few people, it was purely frightening to strengthen his reputation.

    Just as the Datong Army was looking for an opportunity to cross the river, internal problems began to appear on Tian Jianxiu's side.

    Many people said that He Zhen was an officer of the Ming Dynasty, and then joined Li Zicheng.  However, according to the investigation of Manchu officials, it is said that this guy is Li Zicheng's old team, pretending to be a Ming military officer to deceive Manchu trust.

    Historically, He Zhen quickly surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and took the initiative to lead troops to attack Li Guo.

    But in this time and space, he did descend to the Qing Dynasty, and because the Dashun Army had a different retreat route, he did not attack any of Li Zicheng's troops.

    ? When the Manchu Qing withdrew from Shanshan, Li Zicheng made a comeback, and He Zhen returned to Li Zicheng again.

    Although he was despised as a second-five boy, he was an old buddy after all. Since he surrendered again, he couldn't just kill him directly.  Li Zicheng has been looking for opportunities to settle accounts, but He Zhen is obedient, and he is ordered to do everything Li Zicheng says.

    "I'm afraid Tongguan will not be able to defend this time." He Zhen said.

    Dang Meng'an said: "It is true that once the puppet army crosses the river, there will be a lot of recruits on our side, and it will definitely be unstoppable."

    He Zhen said: "We have all surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and have been guarded by His Majesty. Even if His Majesty can win the battle, we have no bright future, how about"

    "It's better to submit to the court of Datong!" Luo Dai said.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 542 [Hero]

    "Commander, General Zhang, the enemy is ready to cross the river!"

    "All the ministries stand firm, and the cavalry follow me to stop the enemy! On the other side of Tongguan, issue an order to let Liu Xiyao go out to attack and kill!"

    Tian Jianxiu personally led the cavalry on the north bank of the Yellow River, running east along the river bank.

    The weather is clear and sunny.  .  .

    The Datong army on the south bank is swaggering across the river.

    Although Cao Cao won the battle of Tongguan, it was actually a tragic victory, with the loss of more than 10,000 troops.  Moreover, the casualties basically occurred during the three river crossings.

    The first time he smuggled across the Yellow River, he was discovered by Ma Chao only halfway through, and then he led his cavalry out.

    A large number of livestock and peasants, including Cao Cao himself, had not had time to cross the river, and their tails were bitten by Ma Chao's cavalry.

    Now, the Datong army directly builds fortifications, leaving 4,000 people to defend at all times, lest the Dashun defenders break out from Tongguan and repeat the mistakes of Cao Cao when he crossed the river.

    The main force is divided into several sections to rush across at the same time.

    Liu Xiyao, who was guarding Tongguan, saw the waving command flags on the other side, and immediately brought 3,000 elite soldiers and 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers to attack the fortifications on the south bank of the Datong Army.

    Moreover, when Liu Xiyao came out from the south gate, there were all tall earthen beams, and it was impossible for the Datong army to build fortifications.

    The Datong Army wanted to cross the river and bypass Tongguan, and the defenders of Tongguan also bypassed the concrete wall of the Datong Army from the earth beam.

    "The bandit soldiers are coming around from the south!"

    In the hot air balloon, the Datong sentry waving semaphore, and the observers on the ground shouted quickly.

    "Dragoons abandon their horses, follow me to stop them!"

    Cao Bianjiao got off his horse and led 2,500 dragoons to climb up the ten-meter-high earth beam along the gully washed out by the rain.  In some places, the height of the earth beams even exceeds 20 meters.

    After Cao Bianjiao led his troops to climb up, Liu Xiyao's troops were only tens of meters away.

    Cao Bianjiao said to the messenger: "Occupy the high ground, form a formation and fire the guns. Tell the friendly troops below to keep them still and just guard the fortifications to prevent the enemy from coming to Tongguan!"

    Here is a typical Loess Plateau terrain, with vertical and horizontal earth beams, undulating ups and downs, and gullies washed out by rain.

    After abandoning their horses, the dragoons stood guard on an earth beam, waiting for Liu Xiyao to attack.

    "Three breads!"

    Liu Xiyao's troops came to the ravine and dispersed into three groups to encircle and climb.

    Cao Bianjiao shouted: "Commander, Commander, disperse and shoot!"

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The dragoons looked down and fired at the enemy in the ditch.

    Today, the dragoons of more than a dozen divisions have all been replaced with flintlock guns.  As for the infantry, about half of them were re-equipped, and the newly formed divisions still used the obsolete matchlock guns.

    Due to climbing the earth beams, the Dashun army did not form a formation when attacking, and scattered into east and west, and the Datong army also scattered into more than a dozen groups and fired.

    Liu Xiyao's elite soldiers are all wearing cotton armor, and because they are far away, they can still hold the bullets.

    But he still has 2,000 miscellaneous soldiers who have only trained for three months and only wear leather armor.  After more than a dozen people were shot in a row, a group of miscellaneous soldiers collapsed immediately, turned around and wanted to escape from the battlefield.

    "The escapee will be cut!"

    "Boys, follow me to kill the enemy!"

    The law enforcement team killed more than 20 people, and the miscellaneous soldiers finally stopped fleeing.  Liu Xiyao simply took off his armor, stepped forward with his shirtless shoulders and knife in hand, and led his elite troops to attack desperately.

    The mountain ridges of the Loess Plateau can't be climbed anywhere, only relatively less steep ones can be picked.

    At this time, wearing armor is cumbersome, anyway, if you get close, you will be pierced by bullets.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Three of Liu Xiyao's personal soldiers fell down one after another, and this man was still struggling to crawl, as expected of a titan from Li Zicheng's old battalion.

    Suddenly, there was a shout of killing from the shore, but it was Liu Tichun who led the troops out of the customs and attacked the fortifications of the Datong Army from the front.

    The main force of the Datong army is crossing the river in sections. Once it loses here, the army will be finished.

    "General, we can't attack, we can only be beaten!" The soldiers shouted from behind the mound.

    Liu Xiyao was also dodging on his stomach, roaring angrily: "If you don't try your best at this time, Tongguan will be gone, and you will be unable to fight if you want to! Listen carefully to the sound of the guns, and charge with me!"

    Liu Xiyao sent a group of miscellaneous soldiers to attack first, and when the gunfire was the most intensive, he suddenly stood up and charged: "Let's charge together while they are changing their medicines! Archers, shoot upwards! Firecrackers, also attack!"  Hit from above!"

    Although the Datong Army is a group of ten people, shooting in rotation, but facing a wave of offensives, they will inevitably shoot most of them

    The nearest sheepskin raft was more than ten meters away from the north shore, and there were only six people left on the raft.  So far, the operation of crossing the river has just begun, and the Datong Army has lost more than 30 soldiers!

    Finally, the sheepskin raft docked, and Tian Jianxiu's cavalry rushed over.

    The soldiers of Datong, who were not firmly established, quickly formed an formation on the shore.  Three melee soldiers stood in front, and three musketeers fired at the cavalry. Six of them faced more than 2,000 cavalry.

    Shi Chang had already fallen into the river, and Wu Chang raised his spear and roared angrily with red eyes: "Plow the fields and eat, and the world will be united!"

    "Plow the fields and eat, and the world will be in harmony!"

    The six people shouted in unison, seeing death as home.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    Three firecrackers fired in salvo, hitting an enemy cavalry.

    The enemy's bows and arrows also shot, and all six of them were hit by arrows, and the most had seven arrows stuck in their bodies.

    After a round of bows and arrows, there were still two people who did not fall down.

    Instead of reloading ammunition, they picked up the shields and spears of the melee soldiers and defended their landing positions back to back.

    "Fire the arrow!"

    There was another rain of arrows, and the two finally died.

    Tian Jianxiu said with emotion: "They are all good guys, what a pity."

    "Commander, there is another raft across the river!"

    "Chase!"

    Tian Jianxiu roared.

    One after another, more than 20 sheepskin rafts that successfully crossed the river, carrying more than 100 Datong soldiers, were besieged and killed by the enemy as soon as they landed.

    However, there were too many Datong troops crossing the river, and the banks of the Yellow River were too long, and there were always places that Tian Jianxiu could not take care of.

    "Form the formation, raise the flag, and blow the horn!"

    Wang Hui also crossed the river, and the nearest enemy army to him was two hundred Dashun infantry dozens of meters away.

    "Beep beep beep da da~~~~"

    The suona blew the rallying horn, and the Datong soldiers who went ashore desperately moved towards this place.  The Datong Army in the river also rowed as far as possible to this side, where they wanted to form a real position.

 Body 543【Login】

    It was Tian Jianxiu's general Zhang Shijie who was in charge of guarding the north bank of the Yellow River.

    He divided the infantry into groups of 500 people, and each group built simple fortifications at a distance of one mile.

    At this moment, Wang Hui was between two groups of enemy infantry, and the nearest group had already charged towards him.  It was not Zhang Shijie himself, but an unknown officer who led the troops.

    When the five hundred enemy troops arrived, there were also friendly troops from Wang Hui's side, two rafts, and a total of 15 Datong troops.

    Fifteen people, five hundred, must be defended!

    The melee soldiers erected two rafts to block the enemy's bows and arrows.  The musketeers placed their barrels on the holes in the raft and fired at the enemy first.

    Eight firecrackers hit three people.  .

    The enemy army rushed to about ten meters, and the ammunition had been reloaded. The second round of salvo fired, and all eight bullets were hit.

    "Form the formation, mount the bayonet!"

    At this moment, there was a burst of gunfire, and another sheepskin raft approached, and the Datong Army on the raft was shooting towards the shore.

    It's a pity that the current is too fast. Although he has been paddling with all his strength, he was washed more than 20 meters downstream of Wang Hui before landing.

    After disembarking, the eight soldiers rushed over immediately, and Wang Hui's side had already met the enemy.

    The other side of the Yellow River is not flat, it is also washed out layer by layer of ridges.  More than 400 enemy troops surrounded them and jumped down from the ridge to fight. Because they ran so fast, they had no time to form an formation, and the head and tail of the team stretched more than 30 meters long.

    Four words, sparse, like a gang fight.

    This can't be blamed for Dashun's army being too hip, and the elite were all taken to Hebei by Li Zicheng.  There are only about 6,000 veterans staying at Tongguan, and the rest are recruits who have been trained for three months.

    Six thousand elite guard Tongguan, more than enough!

    Crossing the river?

    Li Zicheng never thought that the Datong army dared to cross the river.

    Because even if they cross the river, they will all be washed away by the river, just like the situation in front of them.  More than a dozen people rushed to land on the beach, and they dared to form an army to defend against 500 people. There is no such army in the world.

    "kill!"

    Facing the siege of more than 400 people, Wang Hui did not stick to his position, but took the initiative to charge forward.

    Taking advantage of the loose formation of the Dashun Army, they had to rush out.  If you defend in place, the enemy will be surrounded more and more densely.

    So a heroic scene appeared, 15 Datong troops charged back towards the 400 Datong troops.

    Wang Hui held out a gun and stabbed one person to death, and cooperated with the friendly army to kill another person.

    Fifteen Datong troops rushed forward, killing wherever they rushed, and rushed several meters in a row, knocking down twelve enemy troops.

    In some battlefields, the status quo of fighting more and fighting less has formed!

    The Dashun Army was obviously larger in number, but those who were fighting head-on were cowed by the momentum, and some even took the initiative to dodge to avoid it.

    The Dashun officer leading the team shouted: "End the formation, quickly end the formation!"

    This guy thought that if five hundred people killed fifteen, he would definitely be able to catch them, so he ordered to run at full speed.  Some people ran fast, some people ran fast, the team got longer and longer, and it became more and more scattered. Only then was Wang Hui found a chance.

    Under the order to form an formation, only a hundred or so people around the officer began to line up very obediently, and those who were too far away did not know what the order was for a long time.

    "Damn kill!"

    After rushing forward a few more steps, a firecracker was severely injured and was shot from the side by the enemy.

    The firecracker roared in pain, raised his bayonet and charged out, stabbing the attacker to death.  It's a pity that he was injured and couldn't follow along, and was soon besieged and killed by four Dashun troops.

    Wang Hui saw the signs of the enemy's formation from a distance, and immediately shouted: "The enemy is over there, follow me to kill!"

    There were still fourteen people left, and under the leadership of Wang Hui, they rushed towards the place where the enemy was most dense.

    After rushing a few steps, another Datong army fell to the ground, this time it was a pikeman who fell.

    The eight Datong friendly troops in the lower reaches, after landing, also imitated Wang Hui, and charged towards the enemy's flank.

    There is only one exception.

    Yang Zhi ran for a while, then stopped to take aim. He didn't shoot in the river.

    With a distance of more than forty steps and sixty meters, Yang Zhi aimed at the enemy generals who were gathering troops.

    "boom!"

    The enemy general's personal soldiers of the one-shot arm were so frightened that the enemy general quickly shrank his head, hid in the crowd and never showed his face again.

    "Crooked!"

    Yang Zhi was very remorseful, and then reloaded the bomb at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary soldiers.

    The remaining seven Datong soldiers rushed over from the flank.  The enemy army here is even more scattered, and more than a dozen people were killed by them.?Continuing to rush over, some stopped in a daze, and some ran away directly.

    The two sides were already very close, and as the Datong army charged back, more than 400 enemy troops fell apart in an instant.

    Sometimes, a little coincidence can determine the outcome of the battle.

    Most famously, the Red Army forcibly crossed the Dadu River.

    The river is more than 300 meters wide and the current is fast. The Red Army has only one boat.  Eighteen warriors crossed the river to seize the position, and they had to use this boat to row across in two parts.

    The enemy's machine gun positions fired fiercely, and the Red Army had only three shells left, and the mortar mounts were broken.

    Sharpshooter Zhao Zhangcheng stood up, holding the gun barrel with his left hand, and measuring the distance with his right hand.  All three shells hit, destroying three machine gun positions, and eighteen warriors took the opportunity to land.

    How could the Red Army cross the Dadu River without the three remaining shells hitting all of them?

    At this moment, Tian Jianxiu's cavalry chased the Datong army to the downstream, and they are currently rushing upstream.

    Wang Hui is here to initially build a landing position.

    And further upstream, there are also several sheepskin rafts crossing the river.

    He Zhen looked at the battle on the other side, and the Tongguan defenders were killed and retreated, making him more determined to defect.

    When the sheepskin rafts touched the shore, He Zhen immediately led five hundred people there.  All the soldiers under his command thought that he was going to fight, but this guy said: "The emperor of the Zhao family in Nanjing is benevolent and righteous. I heard that everyone can share the land, and there is no corvee or heavy tax. Do you want to live a life like this?"

    The soldiers were all stunned.

    Because He Zhen was not trusted, all the old troops were taken away by Li Zicheng, and now the five hundred people are all recruits.

    "Who doesn't want to surrender?" He Zhen asked.

    No one spoke.

    Seeing that the soldiers still did not respond, He Zhen shouted: "I have voted for the Datong Army. Those who eat and drink are hot. If you are willing to surrender, follow me!"

    He Zhen took the lead and walked towards the Datong Army. The soldiers looked around, and at first some people followed him, and finally they all followed.

    The Datong army on the shore was waiting in full battle. He Zhen stepped forward and shouted alone: ??"Don't let go of the guns, don't let go of the guns. I am willing to lead my troops to surrender to the Datong court!"&lt;/div&gt

    ,

    Yicheng, captured by the Datong Army, was easily recaptured by Liu Fangliang, because there were no defenders in the city, not even officials and peasants.

    However, there are 3,000 farmers and soldiers stationed in Quwo to the west of Yicheng.

    Liu Fangliang camped on the outskirts of Yicheng, waiting for more troops to gather on the spot.  Hongdong County in the north was also recaptured by the Dashun Army, but was stuck in Linfen by the Datong Army and could not go south.

    Yicheng.

    Xie Yinglong went to find Tian Hu in the tent: "Uncle (Count), the situation is not good."

    "Oh, I know, the morale of the army is floating." Tian Hu was helpless.  .

    Ren Guangrong, Ren Jirong, Tian Hu, and Xie Yinglong, the four of them joined Li Zicheng at the beginning, and all of them were from the military of the Ming Dynasty.

    Now, the Ren family brothers have run away, and Tian Hu and Xie Yinglong are in an embarrassing situation.

    Although Liu Fangliang kept expressing his trust, he was faintly guarded.  After recapturing Yicheng, all the troops sent to defend the city were Liu Fangliang's confidantes, while Tian Hu and Xie Yinglong were forbidden to enter the city.

    Of course, Liu Fangliang was afraid that if he went too far, he would force Tian Hu and Xie Yinglong back, so he personally led troops to station outside the city.

    The reason is that the people cannot be disturbed. Yicheng is too small, and too many troops entering will easily cause chaos.

    Liu Fangliang's vigilance is really normal, because Tian and Xie's troops not only have a lot of people from Henan, but also many people from the Ming Dynasty's army.  When the soldiers learned that the brothers of the Ren family had led the troops back to their hometown, they had already discussed a lot, hoping that their own general would also return to Henan.

    Xie Yinglong said in a low voice: "Now that we are guarded, how can we fight? Brother Tian, ??you are also a man who knows how to fight. Do you think you can win battles now?"

    Tian Hu muttered: "Your Majesty treats us well, so don't have any thoughts. As for the soldiers of the battalions, just be patient and comfort them."

    Xie Yinglong sneered.

    Indeed, Ren Jirong, who led the troops to run away, and Tian Hu in front of him, were both named General Guo Yi, and both got an earl.

    But what about Xie Yinglong?

    It's just a miscellaneous general, and the mere baron will be dismissed.

    This made Xie Yinglong extremely dissatisfied. The Ren family brothers and Tian Hu were just junior officers of Ming Dynasty.  But Xie Yinglong was born as a general's personal soldier, and the firearms troops under his command are extremely powerful.

    Xie Yinglong and Tian Hu, together with the firearm battalion, brought many firecrackers and cannons together, and offered the city to join Li Zicheng in an uprising.

    Why did Tian Hu quickly ascend to the position, but he himself became Tian Hu's subordinate?

    "Then I will go to appease the soldiers." Xie Yinglong said.

    Tian Hu said: "I will go in person."

    Liu Fangliang's barracks is in the north of the city, and Tian Hu and Xie Yinglong's barracks are in the east of the city.

    Tian Hu took Xie Yinglong to comfort the soldiers in the camp.  It is nothing more than to say that when the Dashun Army conquers Henan, everyone will be able to return to their hometowns.

    It's useless, but it makes soldiers resist.

    ? Civil officials lack a sense of belonging to the Dashun court, but do low-level soldiers have it?

    ? Li Zicheng's army was the most vigorous when it first entered Beijing, but it plummeted after being defeated by the Manchus.  Their thinking was simple, the Tartars defeated the Dashun Army, and the Datong Army defeated the Tartars, so the Datong Army must be stronger, and Emperor Zhao occupied a larger territory.

    Since you can't fight, why do you still have to fight to die?

    After inspecting the barracks and comforting him, Tian Hu went back to his tent to rest.

    However, Xie Yinglong called several officers: "I tried it out, General Tian doesn't want to go back to Henan, he is thinking of the kindness of Emperor Dashun."

    "Hehe, Li Zicheng has kindness to him, but he is ungrateful to us." The person who spoke was Wang Chengzhong, and like Xie Yinglong, he was a soldier of the Ming general Luo Dai.

    Xie Zhun, another Henan military officer, said: "Uncle Tian didn't want to leave because he was greedy for his title. We don't have any titles, so what are we doing here?  Very powerful. Li Zicheng can't even beat the Tartars, but he can still kill Emperor Zhao and sit in the world?"

    After some discussion, Xie Yinglong said: "Each go back and gather troops quietly. Let's go tonight, light the fire and fire the cannons as a signal, and run to the southwest together after disturbing the barracks!"

    midnight.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Without any warning, the artillery battalion rang out, and then the battalions ignited fires one after another, and the tents of the camps suddenly burst into flames.

    Tian Hu woke up suddenly: "Where is the cannon?"

    "I don't know." The soldier hurriedly said.

    Tian Hu walked quickly outside the tent, and found that there were fires in every battalion, and the shouts of soldiers were everywhere.

    Tian Hu shouted: "The enemy army attacked the camp, gather troops quickly!"

    &nbsp?? 

    Both Liu Fangliang and Li Guo went to Tongguan to fight, but they both had troubles.

    Dashun court, the hearts of the people are scattered!

    Li Guo's head was a little down, he didn't know whether to go to Xi'an first, or go back to Hanzhong to put down the rebellion.

    The Battle of Tongguan decided the ownership of the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

    But if they don't return to Hanzhong, the Datong army in Sichuan will drive straight in from Hanzhong again.

    There really is a Datong army over there, only Huang Yao is left in Guizhou, Fei Yinggong leads troops northward, and is holding back the Dashun army in Hanzhong.

    After much deliberation, Li Guo decided to return to Hanzhong.

    However, just two days after he returned to the army, he received an urgent report again: the guards at Yangping Pass were attacked from the front and back, the guards surrendered collectively, and the Datong Army had entered Hanzhong.

    What should I do?  What to do?  What to do?

    Li Guo was distraught, and in a hurry, he fell ill in the army.

    Both Xi'an and Hanzhong were occupied by the Datong army, and their own general fell ill again, and the whole army suddenly became confused.

    Lieutenant General Gao Yigong couldn't hold back at all.

    Gao Yigong is Gao Yingxiang's son and Li Zicheng's cousin.  His ability to fight can only be regarded as mediocre, and he cannot bear the heavy burden of being ordered in a crisis.

    After that, there were deserters every day. After a few days, one-eighth of Li Guo's troops fled.

    All fools know that Shaanxi is definitely gone, and continuing to fight is not far from death.

    If it was the Tartars, they might still be united, but the Datong court was also Han Chinese, so why should they continue to work hard?

    Seeing this situation, Li Guo's general Zhang Neng led his troops to leave the camp overnight, and ran to Hanzhong to join the Datong army, taking one-third of the soldiers away.

    When the news spread, there were more deserters, and in a blink of an eye there were only two thousand people left, and the Dashun Army was gone for nothing.

 Text 549 [The lucky general is actually myself?  】

    ,

    ? To take the world from Guanzhong, you usually take the Weihan Ancient Road and go straight to the Central Plains.  Or, pass Wuguan and take the Nanyang Basin, and go around from the south to attack the Central Plains on both sides.

    However, the Weihan Ancient Road was blocked by the Datong Army. Except for Tongguan, the other major passes were all in the hands of the Datong Army.

    Although Wuguan was controlled by Li Zicheng, Fushui Fort was seized by Zhao Han, which was equivalent to blocking Wuguan Road. It was called Fushui Fort in Ming Dynasty, Fushuiguan in Qing Dynasty, and later became Fushui Town.

    Li Zicheng also has another plan for sending troops, which is to send troops to Henan from Shanxi.

    But if you do this, you will be attacked by the Datong Army from Henan and Hebei from the east, northeast, south, and southwest, which is equivalent to bearing the northern main force of the Datong Army alone.  At that time, the Datong army will probably ignore the Manchus and try their best to wipe out Li Zicheng's army.

    So Li Zicheng made a stupid move, took the elite main force to Hebei, and attacked the strong city of the Datong Army with the Manchus.  .  Therefore, the Datong Army could only passively defend in Hebei, and instead sought to open up the situation in Shanshan and Liaodong.

    At this moment, the Datong Army has gathered the strength of three divisions in Tongguan and Hedong, but the Shanshan soldiers of Dashun have begun to collapse.  (The Xihe area covers Hedong, and its geographical concept is larger than that of Hedong.)

    ? This is the trend of the times, and when things happen, things happen.

    Zhao Han has already gained power, so Li Zicheng's support is not stable, and there are always civilian and military generals who want to take the opportunity to jump back.

    Just like back then, when Li Zicheng gained power in the north, the civil and military forces of the Ming Dynasty chose to surrender one after another.

    In a blink of an eye, it was late May.

    Zhang Neng, one of Li Guo's subordinates, defected with his troops, and falsely opened the Xiegu Pass, opened the Baoxie Road, and welcomed Fei Yinggong's army into the pass.

    Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other Dashun generals withdrew to Fufeng in a hurry with the remnants of the army, trying to recruit Xiangyong as soldiers to stop the Sichuan Datong army.  Barely gathered 10,000 people, but after only six days of guarding, some generals opened the city gate.

    In the chaos, Li Guo and Gao Yigong fled with their own soldiers, and took over the Dashun Army from Gansu in Baoji.

    There was no fighting at all. The Gansu Dashun Army came in a hurry. I heard that Li Guo's troops were wiped out. I also heard that Hanzhong was lost, Xi'an was also lost, and most of Hedong was occupied. Tongguan and Weinan were strategically surrounded.  Therefore, the generals of the Dashun Army in Gansu also chose to turn against the water, arrested Li Guo and Gao Yigong, and quickly sent them to Fufeng to claim credit.

    "Are you a fake Prince Shun? Why are you so old?" Fei Yinggong asked doubtfully.

    Li Guo didn't speak.

    Fei Yinggong looked at Gao Yigong again: "Are you Gao Yingxiang's son, Li Zicheng's cousin?"

    Gao Yigong spat out saliva violently, almost spraying it on Fei Yinggong's face, and roared sharply: "If you want to kill or cut, it's up to you, if you are a good man, give it a good time!"

    Fei Yinggong scratched his forehead, feeling very lucky.  He didn't seem to have done anything, not only occupied Hanzhong, successfully entered Guanzhong, but also captured Li Zicheng's nephew and cousin.

    Fei Yinggong thought to himself: Is Laozi the lucky general?

    Seeing that the two were very stubborn, Fei Yinggong stopped asking questions, and said to the soldiers: "Take these two people and show them to the Weinan and Tongguan defenders. After the audience is captured, they will be escorted to Hebei.  Meet Li Zicheng before going to battle."

    Under normal circumstances, if you catch an important person from the enemy, you should send them to Nanjing as soon as possible to report meritorious service.

    But the coach of Hebei is Fei Ruhe, who is Fei Yinggong's nephew.

    It doesn't matter what your own credit is, just help your nephew as soon as possible. Fei Yinggong knows that the battle in Hebei is not easy to fight.

    After dealing with the captives, Fei Yinggong was filled with pride, drew his sword and shouted: "The whole army sets off and marches into Weinan!"

    Fei Yinggong's troops fought more and more. Only Zhang Neng's troops who surrendered, as well as the Gansu Dashun surrendered army, added up to tens of thousands.

    Traveling to Xi'an, Cao Bianjiao was finally able to catch his breath.

    Cao Bianjiao went out of the city to greet him and said, "General Fei, you come in time, otherwise I will be surrounded here. The enemy troops from Ningxia and Yulin have already arrived in Chunhua, and for some reason, the garrison in Chunhua suddenly stopped moving."  .”

    "What else could be the reason? It's just to wait and see," Fei Yinggong said with a smile, "They don't go to Hedong, they join the main force in Shanxi. They don't go to rescue Tongguan and Weinan, and they don't even come to Xi'an, which means that the enemy troops are ready at any time.  Surrender. Once our army wins another battle in Hedong and Tongguan, the enemy troops stationed in Chunhua will immediately change their banners."

    "Da da da da!"

    There was a sound of hoofbeats, and the dragoons got off their horses: "The enemy army in Chunhua sent an envoy, saying that they are willing to submit to our dynasty!"

    Cao Bianjiao and Fei Yinggong looked at each other, and then both laughed.

    The main general who surrendered this time was Ma Chongxi, who was also one of the thirteen families of Kuidong in history.

    Fei Yinggong and Cao Bianjiao led the troops directly."We have to wait a little longer. After Weinan is captured, Huazhou and Huayin can be captured by taking advantage of the situation. At that time, Tongguan will be completely surrounded, and the defenders in the pass will inevitably collapse.

    On the Tianjin side, Li Zicheng didn't know that most of Shaanxi was lost, let alone that his nephew and cousin were captured.

    However, Li Zicheng knew that Shaanxi was in danger, and the situation in Tianjin was completely stalemate, so he began to ponder whether to withdraw his troops.

    "Your Majesty, withdraw!"

    General He Jin persuaded: "The surname Zhang in the city and the surname Fei outside the city have always refused to fight. If you want to break the game, you have to cross the river and make a strong attack, and you have to cooperate with the Tartars to attack together. That kind of fighting will definitely cause heavy casualties.  .”

    General Youwuwei Li You also said: "Your Majesty, both Shanxi and Shanxi have steep mountains. We might as well give up Hebei and wait for the puppet fellow soldiers to come and die in Shanxi."

    Afterwards, General Wu Ruyi persuaded: "Your Majesty, if you stay in Tianjin, you will only waste your military rations in vain!"

    Just when Li Zicheng was hesitating, Hauge actually sent someone over: "My prince wants to cross the river and attack by force. If His Majesty Emperor Li agrees, let's discuss how to fight."

    "Why is Hauge suddenly going to cross the river?" Li Zicheng asked doubtfully.

    Li Zicheng's Shaanxi had a problem, and Liaodong in the Qing Dynasty also had a problem.

    When Haoge learned of the situation of the Liaodong army, he did not obey Dorgon's order and went back to rescue Liaodong, but wanted to desperately defeat Fei Ruhe's main force.

 Body 550 [Phoenix City]

    Liaodong, Phoenix.

    Hundreds of years later, the Manchus accounted for more than 70% of the city's population, making it one of the largest Manchu settlements in the country.

    However, most of those Manchus moved there later, and the Qing Dynasty deliberately enriched this "Land of Longxing".  Fo Manchu is a descendant of Changbai Mountain Jurchen, Yiche Manchu originally settled in Jilin, and Baoyi Manchu is a Han Chinese who worked as an errand in Shenyang's Ministry of Internal Affairs.  The Eight Banners of Xibo and Eight Banners of Mongolia also moved from the north.

    At this time, Phoenix City has a population of less than 30,000, both inside and outside the city.

    At the end of March, when the snow melted, the Baozhou (North Korean border) Datong Army crossed the Yalu River and moved to Dandong City, which had not yet been repaired.  .

    In the northeast of Dandong is the ruins of Jiulian City in Ming Dynasty.

    Jiulian City, also known as Zhenjiang Fort, was used to guard against Japanese pirates on the Yalu River.  After the Manchus broke through the city, they not only destroyed the castle, but also moved all the population away, so that neither Manchu nor Han could live here.

    The dangerous mountain castle further north is also deserted.

    Only Tangzhanbao, which is the closest to Phoenix City, Dorgon moved some troops and their families here in order to guard against the Datong Army in the past two years.

    around Phoenix.  More than 90% of the fortress defense system built by the Ming Dynasty was abandoned by the Qing Dynasty.

    Lu Xiangsheng has already been promoted to division commander, commanding the 14th Division stationed in Baozhou, North Korea.  He led his troops all the way north without encountering any obstacles, and quickly arrived at the repaired Tangzhan Fort.

    Tangzhanbao, originally a post station, was founded in Chenghua five years ago.

    There are two son-mother cities, big and small. The side length of the mother city is 400 meters, and the side length of the son city is 150 meters.

    Moreover, the sub-city is within the mother city!

    Obviously, the city is not big.

    The garrison, family members, craftsmen, coaters, and serfs all withdrew into the city, plus livestock and food, and the two small cities were crowded enough.

    "Fire!"

    Lu Xiangsheng didn't talk nonsense. After setting up camp, he immediately shelled.

    These two small cities are connected together. Although there is no moat, there are two natural rivers, both of which are tributaries of the Da Chong River (Love River).

    There are rivers on three sides and mountains on one side, easy to defend but difficult to attack!

    "Boom boom boom!"

    To deal with this kind of castle, only a fool will cross the river and climb the city to attack it unless it is absolutely necessary.

    It's shelling, shelling, shelling!

    After six full days of shelling, the southern city wall next to the river has been punched with a crack as thick as a head.

    There are only 150 Eight Banners soldiers stationed here. Seeing that the situation is not good, the guard quickly decided to withdraw.  And retreat in an orderly manner, let the family members of the soldiers bring money, food and livestock, cross the river to the north bank of the Beihe River and leave, and then row over to pick up the defenders.

    Lu Xiangsheng had nothing to do about it. Without the help of hot air balloons, he would not even be able to see the enemy's movements clearly.

    Because there are also mountains on the north bank of the river, the Datong army can only shell on the south bank of the river in the south, and there is no way to display troops in other places.

    "Master Zheng, the enemy has withdrawn!"

    After falling down to refuel, in the hot air balloon that rose again, soon there were sentries waving flags to pass the news.

    "Cross the river and seize the city!" Lu Xiangsheng ordered.

    There are only more than 1,000 serfs left in the city, and there are no Han Chinese, all of them are Korean serfs.  The Han people here were all taken away by Huang Taiji as early as seven years ago.

    After a day of rest, go up the river valley, and you will find Phoenix City dozens of miles away.

    The area of ??Fenghuang City is about the same as that of Tangzhanbao. The overall shape is square, and the four walls are each 350 meters long.

    Similarly, it is surrounded by water on three sides and mountains on one side.

    However, it is far stronger than Tangzhanbao!

    "Master Zheng, I caught a few Tartars and worked carefully."

    Just as Lu Xiangsheng's 14th Division set up camp, four people were arrested by soldiers from the mountains.

    The leader kneels down upon meeting, and shouts: "Wen Enxun, a small citizen of the lower kingdom, pays homage to the general of the Heavenly Dynasty of the upper kingdom!"

    "Are you Han?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

    Wen Enxun replied: "General Qi, Xiaomin is a Korean."

    Lu Xiangsheng wondered: "Since you are Korean, why are you in the mountains south of Phoenix City?"

    Wen Enxun explained: "General Rong, my father was originally the Korean envoy (translator) stationed in Sheng Shenyang. After my father died of illness, the current North Korean king killed his father and usurped the throne, and the Wen family was also liquidated and killed.  Xiaomin couldn't return to North Korea, and it was useless to stay in Shenyang, so he asked to settle down in Liaodong and farm. Tatar chief Dorgon promised dozens of acres of land and gave it back to several Korean serfs, so that Xiaomin's family could live in Liaodong.  farming in the ravines of Phoenix."

    This old man is one of the ancestors of the Wen family in Fengcheng City hundreds of years later.

    Lu Xiangsheng asked: "Why don't you retreat into the city?"

    &nbsp; After being stripped of all titles, Nao Dai is still helping out.  For example, Ningyuan City, because the outer city was destroyed, Nao Dai presided over the restoration of the Ningyuan Outer City.

    He has studied the structure of Ningyuan City very well, and is naturally good at how to defend the city.

    After arriving in Phoenix, Nao Dai also built a "big acute angle" in Phoenix, which is a similar style of the Western Bastion.  Therefore, the Phoenix City in front of them is particularly troublesome. Facing a close-range siege, neither the firecrackers nor the bows and arrows have a dead angle.

    Lu Xiangsheng's choice was to divide his forces.

    One is stationed in the southwest, that is, the "Fengcheng Stadium" a few hundred years later.  There are rivers to the north and east, and mountains to the southeast. Protect the passage from the southwest. This is also the food road for the Datong Army.

    One part crossed the river to the east, went back to the north, and camped between the mountains and the river. There is a 600-meter-wide passage here, and trenches can be dug all the way.

    Fortunately, the area of ??Phoenix City is small, and the length of the east, west, north and south sides is only 350 meters, so it is impossible to make perfect use of this terrain.

    If the area of ??Phoenix City was several times larger, then Lu Xiangsheng would be completely blind.  Surrounded by water on three sides, with mountains on one side, and the sharp corners of the bastion, there is no other way but to bombard it with artillery.

    After Lu Xiangsheng observed the terrain, he seized the loopholes and divided his troops to dig trenches. Nao Dai also sent people from the mountains to attack at night.  (

 Body 551 [Sinicized Jurchen]

    Lu Xiangsheng looked at the earthen castle in front of him and said with emotion: "The enemy will defend well, so don't take it lightly."

    To the northeast of Phoenix City, the 600-meter-wide passage has been blocked by a castle built by Nao Dai.  Also, it doesn't look very new, it was built at least a year ago.

    This earthen fortress turned out to be his mother's bastion, fully imitating the Datong Army bastion in Gaizhou!

    Therefore, digging trenches and attacking Phoenix City becomes digging trenches and attacking a bastion, which can delay Lu Xiang's promotion for at least a month.

    One month, plus the previous consumption, is enough for Dorgon to send reinforcements.

    The problem is that Dorgon also has the Datong Army, and the Tartars in Phoenix City are doomed not to wait for reinforcements.

    After camping on the bank and digging for a day, the five hundred warriors selected by Nao Dai also went into the mountains to the north and came around to attack at night.

    The officer who led the night attack was called Zhang Fengyan. He spoke Chinese and had a Chinese name. The men farmed and the women weaved, just like the Han people.  .  But his ancestors were from the Jurchen clan, but they were Sinicized.

    If it wasn't for Nurhachi's rise of troops, these Sinicized Jurchens in Liaodong would become real Han people in a hundred or two hundred years.

    Nao Dai was very apprehensive about the Datong Army's hot air balloon, and Zhang Fengyan was not allowed to set off until after dark.

    By the time these Tartars crossed the mountains and circled to the rear of Lu Xiangsheng's sub-camp, it was almost dawn, which happened to be the time when the soldiers were most asleep.

    Zhang Fengyan squatted among the thorn bushes, quickly saw the direction, and marched forward with the cat in his belt.

    But not too far down the mountain, Zhang Fengyan secretly thought something was wrong.

    In order to prevent night attacks, Lu Xiangsheng actually cut down the weeds and trees around the camp for a mile, burning what could be burned, and cutting down what could not be burned.

    Zhang Fengyan couldn't hide, so he could only keep his body low and trot towards the camp with his troops.

    About ten meters away from the camp, Zhang Fengyan felt that he bumped into something.

    "Ding Dang Dang Dang"

    In the silent dawn, a crisp bell sounded suddenly.

    Zhang Fengyan buried his head to check, and there was a hemp rope dyed black on his calf.  Moreover, there is more than one hemp rope of this kind, which is circled around the camp, and small bells are sporadically tied to the hemp rope.

    The Datong sentinel who couldn't help but fight his eyelids was instantly awakened by the ringing of the bell. He vaguely saw someone outside the camp, so he immediately blew the copper whistle hanging on his chest.

    "Quick retreat!"

    Zhang Fengyan turned around and ran, no matter how late it was, it would be too late.

    Half of the dragoons of the 14th Division are in this division battalion, and the cavalry leader Lin Zhidong is also there.

    Lin Zhidong is from Huating County, Jiangsu Province. He was supposed to be a Wu Jinshi in the 16th year of Chongzhen, and he was the only citizen of that class.  A craftsman from a livestock farm.

    But in this time and space, there is no Chongzhen sixteen years.

    Lin Zhidong was born in a wealthy family in Huating, his grandfather was a student of the Imperial College, and his father was admitted as a scholar.  The new dynasty of Datong was established, and his family asked him to be a civil servant. Lin Zhidong could only obey his father's order, and was even promoted to the section chief of the official department of Huating County.

    Hearing that the Datong Army was expanding and recruiting men skilled in archery and horses, Lin Zhidong quietly joined the army.

    The chief of the county government office came to be a recruit, the only one in the whole army.  Moreover, he has great strength, is skilled in bow and horse, and is familiar with military books.  Of course Lin Zhidong gained attention, and in just two years, he was promoted to the cavalry commander of the 14th Division.

    "The whole army is on horseback!"

    The newly built camp has no special stables, and all cavalry sleep with their horses.

    Hearing the warning, Lin Zhidong quickly rushed out with the cavalry, and the infantry had already removed the hemp rope outside the camp.

    "Da da da da!"

    The sound of horseshoes behind him made Zhang Fengyan feel desperate. Two legs could not run faster than four.

    Although he was the general of the dragoons, Lin Zhidong brought a bow.

    When the soldiers under his command rode horses and fired their guns, Lin Zhidong drew his bow and shot an arrow, which accurately hit a Tartar on the back.

    After the other dragoons fired, they immediately retracted their guns and drew out their waist knives to hunt down.

    Lin Zhidong drew his bow and set his arrow again, and shot out the second arrow with a whoosh, overturning another tartar again.

    It can only be said that the archery skills are amazing. On the high-speed bumpy horseback, two consecutive arrows hit the running enemy, and the moonlight at dawn was very dark.  As expected of the 16th year of Chongzhen, the only Wu Jinshi of civil origin.

    Seeing that there was no way to escape, Zhang Fengyan planned to fight stubbornly, but he couldn't gather the army at all.

    Although these Jurchen soldiers who were incorporated into the Han army banner fought bravely, they would definitely run away if they were destined to die, because they still had a chance to survive.

    Zhang Fengyan picked up the bow and arrow, then put it down again, and unexpectedly surrendered on his knees. He was the only one among the five hundred night raiders who surrendered.It's just an officer of his own, so it's best to get miraculous results, and it doesn't matter if he takes the opportunity to escape.

    Lu Xiangsheng has already made plans to attack the city for a long time, first dig trenches and attack the bastion, and then dig trenches and attack Phoenix City.  The shortest time is three months, and at least half a year if things go wrong.

    However, it was said that Zhang Fengyan was released in the evening, and he ran all the way into the mountains.  After climbing over the mountains, he picked up a stone and slammed it at his calf.

    He didn't break the bone once, and he smashed it a second time with pain, breaking the calf bone before stopping.

    He slid down the hillside, messed up all the way, and his clothes were scratched all over his body.  At the foot of the mountain, he tried his best to climb towards Phoenix City, but was discovered by the defenders the next morning.

    When the doctor was setting Zhang Fengyan's bone, the chief general Nao Dai came over to question him in person.

    Zhang Fengyan struggled to get up, lay down in pain and said, "The Nanmanzi is cunning. They set up a lot of ropes with bells outside the camp. If they accidentally touch the ropes, they will ring the bells. Our Eight Banners warriors who attacked at night touched the enemy camp.  The outer area was discovered, and then was hunted down by the cavalry. The humble officer managed to escape back to the mountains, but accidentally broke his leg, so he escaped now."

    Nao Dai asked some more details, and then said: "You are good at convalescing your wounds, and you will be able to reuse them when you recover." &lt;/div&gt

 Text 552 [There are so many betrayers]

    After Zhang Fengyan returned to Phoenix City, he did nothing but heal his injuries.

    He didn't take the initiative to contact anyone. First, he came back too late, and Naodai might send someone to monitor him.  The second is that Lu Xiangsheng was blocked by the bastion. If the bastion could not be breached, it would be difficult for the Sinicized Jurchens in Phoenix City to rebel with him.

    At this moment, the Eight Banners soldiers sent to Shenyang for help came back.

    "Beizi, Shengjing can't come to the reinforcements, Yaozhou is besieged by the Nanmanzi, and the regent is fighting in Yaozhou."

    Nao Dai's heart sank, and he seemed to be unable to wait for reinforcements.

    On the other side of the river, the hot air balloon of the Datong Army took off to observe the battlefield again

    Nao Dai went to the bastion in person, took out the binoculars to have a look, and felt that his scalp was numb.

    Lu Xiangsheng suffered a night attack. Although he had no losses and won the battle because of it, he became more vigilant.  Instead of digging trenches, they continued to reinforce the camp, as if they wanted to make their camp airtight.

    Nao Dai would rather Lu Xiangsheng attack earlier, so that he can rely on defense to kill the enemy.

    Now Lu Xiangsheng doesn't attack, he doesn't even dig trenches, and he doesn't give Nao Dai any loopholes to take advantage of.

    Lu Xiangsheng sat in the camp and observed the bastion from a distance with a telescope.  :.

    He likes fighting like this, doing whatever he wants without anyone intervening.

    Instead, in Daming before, civil servants withheld food and pay, eunuchs commanded indiscriminately, friendly troops were unwilling to cooperate, and the imperial court kept urging troops to move forward.  The frontline generals are very thoughtful, and at least eight points must be left to deal with their own people.

    The camp was reinforced for three full days before Lu Xiangsheng ordered again to continue digging trenches and digging towards the bastion.

    Half a month later, Lu Xiangsheng was still digging trenches, almost reaching the outer slope of the bastion.

    Nao Dai was upset, and said angrily: "Order a thousand soldiers and horses to attack and kill the enemy's civilians. We can't let them dig like this!"

    "Da da da da!"

    Nao Dai was counting troops, and came galloping from Phoenix City on a fast horse: "Bei Zi, there is an important military situation!"

    Nao Dai opened the letter and read it, and suddenly felt chills in his back, analyzing the fall of Mucheng.

    Analysis Wood City is the southern gate of Haizhou.

    If this place is lost, the Datong Army in Xiuyan City can directly attack Haizhou.

    A month ago.

    Yang Zhenqing led an independent regiment and sent troops from Xiuyan to attack and harass the surrounding villages of Ximu City.

    Dorgon was afraid that Ximu City would fall, so he ordered Saihe to lead 1500 soldiers and horses to Ximu City to assist in the defense.

    As soon as Saihe arrived in Ximu City, he knelt down when he saw the general: "The last general Saihe, pay homage to Duke Zhen!"

    Fu Lehe was very useful, nodded and smiled: "Get up."

    Fu Lehe is the second son of Azig, and both his father and brother died, so he took over the Dukedom of Zhenguo.  Analysis of Mucheng is extremely important, and Dorgon can't afford to make mistakes. A Zhen Guogong and the 3,000 Banner Army still feel unstable, so they call in another 1,500 people.

    "Dare to ask my lord, what is the situation here?" Saihe asked.

    Fu Lehe said: "The Southern Manzi didn't have many bandits, and they didn't even dare to attack the city. They only attacked and killed the bannermen in the ravine. Now, the surrounding bannermen have all brought their families into the city. The Southern Manzi probably should have  Withdrew."

    Saihe said: "Grandpa, the last general will personally lead the troops out of the city to investigate."

    "Why do you need to go by yourself?" Fuller shook his head.

    But Saihe said: "The last general will fight with Taizu, and he must investigate every battle by himself, otherwise he will not be sure."

    "Sure enough, he is a steady veteran, then you go." Fu Lehe said with emotion.

    Saihe only took more than 20 soldiers, and the next day he went out of the city and went into the ravine, and then searched everywhere in groups of two.

    "Regimental Commander, two Tartar soldiers have been captured!"

    Yang Zhenqing was in the mountains, thinking about how to harass the cat next.  Hearing that two enemy troops had been caught, he immediately laughed and said, "Are these Tartars stupid? They are so far out of the city, and only two of them dare to come here."

    "Wish to surrender, willing to surrender!"

    When the two Tazi soldiers were brought in, they immediately spoke broken Chinese.

    Yang Zhenqing had already learned the Manchu language, and asked, "Are you Manchu Sentinels?"

    The Tartar soldiers replied: "We are here to contact the general. Our master is willing to surrender."

    "Who is your master?" Yang Zhenqing asked.

    The Tazi soldiers said: "The son of the first-class Angbang Zhangjing Ashan, the brother-in-law of Princess GulunGeneral Saihe."

    Yang Zhenqing thought he heard it wrong, so he stood up abruptly: "What did you say?"

    Angbang Zhangjing means chief soldier.

    The first class, Angbang Zhangjing, is the chief soldier in charge of a large territory.

    &nbsplike.  At that time, it was almost a collapse, and a large number of Manchu generals defected, but Daming didn't accept it, and he didn't take it seriously at all, and there was even a phenomenon of bullying and surrendering.  As a result, in the ensuing war, these generals turned their backs one after another.

    Saihe went back with his own soldiers. In the first few days, he did not show any abnormality, but let his confidants secretly arrange.

    On the eighth day, Saihe hosted a banquet for the generals in the city.

    Prince Fu Lehe of Zhen Guo went to the appointment happily, and Saihe also said: "I have neglected my father-in-law. It is a pity that there is no good wine to entertain me during the battle. When I return to Shengjing, I will invite my father-in-law to drink."

    Ever since Fu Lehe became the Duke of Zhen, he has been flattering a lot, and he only thinks that Saihe is flattering himself.

    The generals defending the city pushed the cups and changed the cups. When the wine was hot, Sai He smiled and said: "My lord, the last general has prepared a surprise."

    "What surprise?" Fuller asked with a smile.

    "Papa papa!"

    Saihe slapped his hands.

    Immediately there was a shout of killing outside the house, but it was Saihe's personal soldiers, who were attacking and killing the personal followers of other generals.  More than a dozen other soldiers rushed into the house with their knives in hand.

    Fu Lehe stood up in surprise, and was about to draw his sword, but found that he had no weapon with him.

    However, Saihe hid a dagger in his arms, rushed over to grab Fulehe, and stabbed the Duke of Zhen in the abdomen.

    In the city, fires broke out everywhere, and the Eight Banners soldiers were in chaos.  To provide you with the fastest update, 552 free reading.  :.

    "kill!"

    Yang Zhenqing led his troops into the city, looked at the burned houses and the corpses of Tartars all over the street, and couldn't help frowning.

    He himself killed Tartar civilians, but it was out of hatred, and more for military purposes.

    And Saihe, who defected, just killed innocent people indiscriminately, and attacked his tribe!

    Of course, it is also possible that Saihe did not regard the Tartars in Ximu City as his tribe.

    The Eight Banners Army guarding the city was caught off guard by the cooperation of the inside and the outside.  About 2,000 people took advantage of the chaos and fled towards Haizhou in the north.

    And Saihe's soldiers did not go after them, but stayed in the city to rob and kill people.

    Yang Zhenqing was afraid of Saihe's wild thinking, so he didn't dare to order to stop it. Anyway, all the people who were killed were Tartars.  After seeing Saihe, he only said: "Give me half of the goods in the city"

    "General, just take it!" Saihe became more and more happy.

    These words of Yang Zhenqing reassured Saihe completely.  In his opinion, all the generals in the world are the same, they are nothing more than greedy for money and power.  What Nanmanzi wanted to kill all the Manchus, even those who surrendered, was purely Dorgon's scare.

    ? I have contributed to the city, and I will definitely be promoted in the new dynasty of Datong in the future.

    ?He took advantage of the chaos and robbed a lot of property, plus the property of the family, it doesn't matter even if the land is divided, the money and food can be squandered for several lifetimes.

    Yang Zhenqing warned sharply: "Remember, no more looting and killing of Han people!"

    "The general will obey!"

    Saihe accepted the order very sincerely, because the Han people in Liaodong, apart from those traitors, what else can they grab for coats and serfs?  If you want to grab it, you can grab the Manchu nobles, all of them are rich!

    The more Saihe thought about it, the happier he became, and he looked forward to fighting with the Datong Army. It would be best to grab Heilongjiang all the way and earn a fortune that he would never spend in his lifetime.

    Clan people?

    Hehe, only the Jurchens who live in Muxi are Saihe's people, and he doesn't care how many Jurchens elsewhere die.

    After taking over the city defense, Yang Zhenqing immediately wrote to report.

    He used to be a hunter in the mountains and had never read a book. He has been fighting in the past few years, and only took time to learn two or three hundred words. Even the battle report had to be written by a mission officer.

    After writing the specific process of seizing the city, Yang Zhenqing said to the missionary officer: "Add a few more words. Saihe is very ambitious. Dorgon didn't suppress him, but he didn't pay much attention to him. He dared to ignore his parents and relatives."  But he rebelled against the Qing. As a Tartar, he attacked the Tartar civilians. At least 2,000 Tartar civilians were killed by his soldiers, just to rob property. He also killed some Han serfs, not for money.  It's pure killing madness. This person can't be reused, it's best to find a chance to get rid of it, otherwise there will definitely be trouble in the future."

    Outside Yaozhou City.

    Tens of thousands of Datong troops have filled the moat and are constantly bombarding the city wall.

    And Dorgon's army was stationed a few miles northeast of the city, forming a corner with Yaozhou City.

    There are small battles being fought every day, competing for some favorable terrain outside the city.

    In the barracks.

    Dorgon's face was cold, but he pretended to be calm, and said to Ah Shan with a smile: "As expected of your own son, your father betrayed the Qing Dynasty, your brothers, nephews, and yourself also betrayed the Qing Dynasty.  Your second son is a son-in-law, how do you want the Qing Dynasty to treat you preferentially? Now, your eldest son has killed Zhen Guogong and seized Ximu City, what are you going to do?"

    Ah Shan frantically kowtowed: "If you don't teach your son strictly, you deserve to die!"

    "I think you are very strict in teaching your son." Dorgon sarcastically said.

    Ah Shan continued to kowtow.

    Dorgon said: "The nobles of Manchuria have already discussed it. All your Niulu will be deprived and handed over to Commander Arzin. Half of your family's property will be fined and confiscated! As for you, stop thinking about your mistakes and wait until the battle is over.  "

    Ah Shan collapsed directly, and at the same time felt fortunate that there was still hope if he was not executed.

    "Go away." Dorgon said angrily.

    Ah Shan bowed and stepped back, scolding his son ten thousand times in his heart.

    Even if you want to defect, you should say it, so dad can make full preparations in advance.  You ran away without making a sound. Do you want to kill your own father, your brother, your wife and children?

    Ah Shan was taken back to Haizhou and placed under house arrest. He was looking forward to his son's rescue, and only hoped that the Datong Army would break through Yaozhou as soon as possible, and then take Haizhou to rescue him.

    Dorgon was the only one left in the tent, and he felt really tired.

    In the past two years, people's hearts have been scattered, exactly the same as Nurhachi's late period.

    Due to the forced expropriation of food, a large number of civilians and serfs were starved to death.  The nobles and generals, although not greatly affected, felt satisfied.His troops were too small to go out of the city to fight.

    "Boom!"

    A few days later, there was a deafening explosion, and a wall of the bastion was blown down by gunpowder.

    Bearing the arrows and bullets, the Datong army rushed in through the gap, and after more than forty people were killed or injured, they quickly rushed into the inside of the bastion.

    More than 300 bastion defenders were all wiped out by the Datong Army.

    Occupying the bastion, Lu Xiangsheng finally arrived outside Phoenix City, where he continued to camp and dig trenches.

    He never thought of taking the city by traitors, he just followed his own style of play, digging all the way to plant explosives.

    Seeing the Datong army digging in and out and the occupied bastion in the distance, the morale of the Eight Banners defenders in Phoenix plummeted.

    Zhang Fengyan started to act. He went out on crutches, saying that he would fight the Nanmanzi desperately.

    Nao Dai liked this kind of warrior very much, so he quickly promoted Zhang Fengyan and threw five hundred Chinese Jurchens to him to lead.

    "Second brother Zhang, the Tartars are really dying, and we are willing to follow you in the uprising."

    "The Tartars are barbarians, not even Jurchens. What kind of Jurchens are they? The Jurchens inside the Liaodong Great Wall are the real Jurchens, and those outside the Great Wall are all barbarians!"

    "I've long been tired of seeing Tartars. I used to keep my hair like the Han people, but now I've shaved my hair and put on pigtail braids. It's so ugly!"

    "Second Brother Zhang, hurry up, or Phoenix City will be taken if you don't do anything, and we won't be able to make any contribution!"

    ""

    Lu Xiangsheng was not in a hurry to attack the city, but the Sinicized Jurchens in the city were in a hurry to rebel against the Qing and surrender to the Datong court.

 Text 554 [One Hundred Ways of Death of Manchu Qing Nobles: Falling to Death]

    Nao Dai seems to be suffering from tunnel phobia, as long as he sees the messy tunnels, he will feel sick and dizzy for no reason.

    That Lu Xiangsheng outside is considered a famous general in the world, but he is such a rogue in war!

    ?There is no skill at all, just strengthen the camp first and make yourself invincible.  Then let the folks dig the trenches, digging them into a z-shape for a while, a c-shape for a while, and an o-shape for a while.  The soldiers hid in the tunnel, slowly approaching the city wall, and at the same time were responsible for protecting the diggers.

    After digging to the nearest point and passing the range of the city defense artillery, the tunnel was changed into a tunnel.

    There are tunnels everywhere outside the city, and the defenders don't know where to dig the tunnels.  Several tunnels were dug all the way to the city, and then a large amount of explosives were transportedBoom!

    This method of warfare must meet two conditions: first, the attacking party has an advantage in strength, otherwise the defending party will desperately enter the tunnel regardless of everything; second, it can only be used to attack small and medium-sized cities, such as Tianjin, Jeju, etc.  For a big city like Shangqiu and Shangqiu, it would take a huge amount of explosives to blow it up.

    It just so happens that the Phoenix City and the Bastion in front of me are small cities that can be blown up

    "Have you heard yet?" Nao Dai asked anxiously.

    In the city, under the wall.

    Every five or six steps, there will be an Eight Banners soldier lying on the ground and listening to the sound with a bamboo tube.

    A soldier replied with a bitter face: "Bei Zi, the enemy's artillery interference is really hard to hear. Moreover, the enemy's tunnels have not been dug into the city, so we have to go outside the city to hear clearly."

    "Then go outside the city quickly!" Nao Dai scolded.

    The soldiers of the Eight Banners hung down from the city wall, and they dared not go through the city gate because there was no protection from the urn city.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    In the circular tunnel outside the city, the Datong army immediately probed, and the melee soldiers raised their shields to help block the arrows.

    There were two unlucky Eight Banners soldiers who were hit by bullets in mid-air.  At the same time, the bows and arrows and firecrackers in the city also took the opportunity to shoot towards the tunnel.

    These Eight Banners soldiers were really not afraid of death. They fell to the ground against the bullets, and then lay down and listened carefully.

    "Someone is digging a hole down here, almost to the bottom of the wall!" An Eight Banners soldier shouted.

    Nao Dai immediately ordered: "Throw the falling stone, hit it hard, and collapse the tunnel!"

    Irrigation is impossible, it takes time to dig holes, and it takes time to move water. It is impossible for the Datong Army to let the defenders do what they want.

    Under Nao Dai's order, big stones soon fell from the city.  It's a pity that the stones are still not heavy enough. The tunnel is supported by logs and is very deep from the ground. Some falling rocks will not collapse at all.

    Nao Dai was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. If the tunnel was not destroyed, this section of the city wall would be blown up in a day or two at most.

    "Go out of the city and fight!" Nao Dai could only take risks.

    The gate of the city opened slowly, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners came out pushing the chariot.  This is a temporary car, because there is no use in the mountainous area, so there is no car reserve in Phoenix.

    "General, the enemy army has opened the city gate, do you want to take the opportunity to attack?"

    "No, that's the shelling."

    Nao Dai built an enemy tower with a sharp angle for Phoenix City, and there was no dead angle of firepower. If he just rushed over like this, it would be bad for the enemy to close the city gate.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    There had been several cannons pointed at Nagato all the time, and they immediately fired at the chariot.

    Four cannons went astray, and one shot hit.

    The improvised chariot was obviously not of good quality, and it was smashed to pieces with just one shot.

    When Nao Dai learned of the situation, he said angrily, "Come back and close the city gate!"

    The tunnel of the Datong Army is too close to the city wall, and the firecrackers can shoot at any time.  Without the protection of the chariot, if they forcefully go out to destroy the tunnel, those Eight Banners soldiers will definitely die.

    When Nao Dai was in a hurry, an officer suggested: "Bei Zi, we can estimate the location, dig a tunnel out of the city, and figure it out with the enemy's tunnel. At that time, the Eight Banners warriors can follow the tunnel and go to the opposite tunnel.  The southern barbarians fight!"

    "Good idea!" Nao Dai was overjoyed.

    All the masons and carpenters in the city were recruited, and it would be even better if there were miners.  The Korean serfs who had evacuated to the city were also forced to assist in digging tunnels.

    Not only digging tunnels at relevant locations, Nao Dai dug more than a dozen tunnels at the same time, anyway, digging all the way outside the city.

    ? As night fell, the two sides were still working in the tunnels, and when one batch was tired of digging, they would change another batch.

    The Datong Army habitually raises hot air balloons every two hours and stays in the air for half an hour.

    Yu Dongbao has been in the army for two years. He is not afraid of death in war, but he is afraid of riding in a hot air balloon.

    He just chose him as a lookout soldier, because he has strong mental arithmetic ability and is familiar withOne day, Nao Dai gathered his troops as expected.

    However, he was also worried about the north and west of the city, so he went to inspect the city himself, encouraging the soldiers to stick to it all the way.

    When passing by Zhang Fengyan, Zhang Fengyan suddenly pointed to the north: "Beizi, there are also enemy troops attacking the city here!"

    Nao Dai hurriedly picked up the binoculars, stood by the parapet, looked out of the dark city, and the soldiers around him also watched subconsciously.

    Zhang Fengyan pretended to check the enemy's situation, limped, and took the opportunity to walk to Nao Dai's side.  Lame legs are the best cover. Nao Dai's soldiers did not stop them, and even because they checked the enemy's situation, they didn't notice Nao Dai coming.

    "Sure enough, there are a lot of enemy troops here!"

    Nao Dai put away the telescope and was about to send an order to call the reserve team to strengthen the defense.  Suddenly he felt his vest being pushed, and he leaned forward, subconsciously grabbing the female wall.

    Zhang Fengyan pushed with all his strength, how could he catch it?

    Nao Dai's upper body was all sticking out of the arrow.  After barely stabilizing, Zhang Fengyan grabbed his belt again, pulled it up with all his might and pushed it forward again.

    "ah!"

    The chief general of Phoenix City was actually pushed down from the city.  And he didn't fall to his death, he hit the ground humming, and both arms were broken, because he used his hands to cushion the ground when he fell.

    While Zhang Fengyan was making his move, the nearby Chinese Jurchen also came to kill quietly, stabbing Nao Dai's soldiers from behind.

 Text 555 [It is as Xu as a forest, and it is as fast as the wind]

    On the northern city wall, there are not only Sinicized Jurchens, but also Jianzhou Jurchens transferred from other places.

    After Nao Dai fell off the city wall, only two or three of the dozen or so soldiers accompanying him were killed.  It wasn't until this time that the Eight Banners Army on the nearby city wall finally realized that something was wrong, and rushed to fight under the leadership of the officers.

    In the east direction of the city, it was very lively. The Datong army pushed the ladder and advanced slowly under the cover of artillery fire.

    In the north direction of the city, quietly, the Datong army carried ordinary wooden ladders, but rushed towards the city wall in the dark.

    "With another half stick of incense, the reinforcements will arrive at the city!"

    Zhang Fengyan hissed and roared.

    No matter how fast a young person recovers, it is impossible for a fracture to heal in more than a month.  He was still dragging a wooden frame on his legs, and he was fighting with the soldiers under his command, and was flanked by the enemies on both sides

    ? When the first Datong soldier climbed the city wall, hundreds of Sinicized Jurchens had already suffered hundreds of casualties.

    If it weren't for the reinforcements being close at hand, with nearly 20% casualties, these Sinicized Jurchens would have collapsed long ago.

    "Kill all the Tartars!"

    Zhang Mingzhen led his troops to climb up the city wall, and the morale of the Sinicized Jurchens was greatly boosted, while the Eight Banners Army on both sides were frightened.

    For these Eight Banners soldiers, they are already in a desperate situation.  The main general is alive or dead at this moment, and there are many times in the city, their family and property are also in jeopardy, and if they continue to fight, the whole family may die.

    The Sinicized Jurchen lineup had already been breached, and Zhang Mingzhen made up for it himself.

    This man's weapon is not a spear or a waist knife, but a two-handed sword.  The front of the sword is narrow and the back is wide, it can chop and slash the enemy, and it can also stab through armor.

    A sword actually pierced through the cotton armor and directly pierced the Tazi soldier's abdomen.

    He drew his sword and came out with a string of blood beads.

    Due to the crowded terrain, it was too late to change his tactics. Zhang Mingzhen slammed into the point of the Tartar's spear sideways. The angle was deflected and the attack distance was shortened, which greatly reduced the damage of the opponent's long spear.  After bullying, Zhang Mingzhen stabbed the opponent's throat with his sword, and immediately killed another enemy.

    In the darkness, Zhang Mingzhen was invincible, killing and wounding six Tartars one after another.

    The Datong Army and Sinicized Jurchen behind him became more and more courageous under his leadership.  The morale of the tartars was already low, and when they encountered a fierce man like Zhang Mingzhen, they quickly collapsed and fled.

    The Tartar soldiers fled into the city and went straight to their homes, trying to take advantage of the chaos and leave with their families.

    "Don't chase the enemy, first seize the east wall!" Zhang Mingzhen shouted.

    Zhang Mingzhen was born in Nanjing Jinyiwei family, a young ranger, famous in the capital, was introduced as a guest of honor by the eunuch Cao Huachun, and at the same time had a close relationship with the Donglin Party.

    Historically, it was not until the end of Chongzhen that he got an official position and served as a guerrilla general in Zhejiang.  After King Lu was defeated, Zhang Mingzhen trained troops in Zhoushan, and then welcomed King Lu back to eastern Zhejiang.  After joining forces with Zhang Huangyan, he sent troops to the Yangtze River three times and besieged the Qing army in Chongming City for eight months.

    After conquering Zhoushan for the third time, Zhang Mingzhen unfortunately died of illness, and the remaining troops were led by Zhang Huangyan.

    In this time and space, Zhang Mingzhen learned that the prince and daughter were going south, and immediately bid farewell to Cao Huachun, and ran to Nanjing to try to join the army.  But there is no way to join the army, because the expansion of the Datong Army is based on priority selection from farmers and soldiers.

    It took a full year and a half before the Datong Army recruited troops from abroad, and only recruited those who were skilled in bows and horses—expanding the cavalry.

    However, it is said that Zhang Mingzhen killed the Tartars in the northern city and immediately led his troops to the eastern city.

    When the Tartars stationed in the east city heard the fighting in the north city, they didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that the north city was under attack.  This is normal, because there is also a Datong army in Dongcheng, and they are also waiting to fight.

    It wasn't until the North City sent someone to ask for help, saying that the main general had an accident, that the Tartars in the East City led their troops to kill.

    The two sides collided at the northeast corner of Phoenix City, and Zhang Mingzhen rushed forward with swords in both hands.  After meeting the enemy, two long spears stabbed at the same time. Zhang Mingzhen avoided the vital point, and used his armor to resist the enemy's attack.

    This gentleman is like a flesh-clad assassin, who wears armor to let the enemy attack, and then kills himself with a single blow of the sword.

    Under the leadership of Zhang Mingzhen, the Datong Army turned into an awl, and Zhang Mingzhen was the tip of the awl, severely cutting the Tartar army formation.

    "kill!"

    The Datong army in the east of the city, who had been dawdling for a long time, finally speeded up, pushed the ladder against the gunfire, and approached the east wall.

    There were enemies outside the city, and enemies on the sides. The fire inside the city became more intense, and the tartars who stayed behind on the east wall finally couldn't bear it anymore.  Before the Datong Army's cloud ladder could attach to the city, these Tartars fled one after another, and then the whole army fled, fleeing from the city to search for their family members.

    There are also Tartars who don't care about it.His cavalry hid along the river in a ravine three miles away from Lianshan Pass.

    The scale of Lianshan Pass is very small, it is just a fortress.

    There are only one hundred troops in the garrison, but there are many bannermen and family members nearby, and there are hundreds of nearly a thousand soldiers when they are mobilized.

    The chief general who guards the pass is just a mid-level officer.

    Lu Xiangsheng sent a hundred cavalry to stroll around Tongyuan Fort. The defenders of Tongyuan Fort were horrified and sent people to Shenyang for help.  When passing through Lianshan Pass, the defenders of Lianshan Pass also knew that the Phoenix City was gone and that the Datong Army was attacking Lianshan Pass.

    This is a plan to kill birds with one stone, because the Tartars of Caohebao also got the news.  He thought that the Datong Army had gone to Tongyuan Fort, but Lu Xiangsheng's main force was actually heading towards Caohe Fort at this time.

    Two forts and one pass were all deceived by Lu Xiangsheng.

    Lin Zhidong fled to the other side of the river at Lianshan Pass in embarrassment with his cavalry.  The accompanying Sinicized Jurchen yelled towards Guancheng: "Send a boat over here and take Naodai Beizi across the river!"

    The defenders didn't hear clearly, but they also saw the clothes on the other side, all of which belonged to "our own people".

    A defender came to the shore, finally heard what he was shouting, and hurried back to report: "Nao Dai Bei Zi is not dead, Nao Dai Bei Zi is back!"

    ?, after the report, the administrator will correct the content of the chapter later.

 Body 556 [Psychological warfare]

    The guard of Lianshan Pass is called A Lin, whose name translates to "mountain", an inconspicuous general of the Eight Banners.

    But it was this general who was very cautious.  When he heard that "Naodai" had returned, he came to the bank in person, sent only a small boat across the river, and ordered: "Only Naodai's son is allowed to cross the river, and he can take at most two of his relatives. The rest of the soldiers must be confirmed by me."  Come back after your identity!"

    The boat rowed to the other side, Lin Zhidong heard this and understood that it was impossible to cheat.

    Even if you don't pretend to be Nao Dai, the enemy guards of the Qing Dynasty will find other ways to verify.

    "Come here to carry the shellfish, and the rowers will help too," Lin Zhidong said.

    When the three Tartars had all landed, Lin Zhidong drew his knife out of its sheath, and hacked to death the one in front of him.  The other two Tartars were also hacked to death by the dragoons

    Alin could see clearly across the river, and said with a sneer: "Strictly guard the closed city, don't go out!"

    Lin Zhidong sighed: "Tan slaves are not all idiots, I'm afraid this trip will be in vain. Go back!"

    Withdrawing troops is also particular. Lin Zhidong deliberately followed the river bank and withdrew all the way south.  This gave the enemy the illusion that they came from Tongyuan Fort, not Caohe Fort.

    Alin, the general of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although he seemed calm, his heart was already surging: Tongyuan Fort was actually lost!

    Not just Alin, but ordinary Tartar soldiers also looked terrified.

    What Lianshan Pass and Caohe Fort are all small checkpoints and small fortresses.

    Facing the incoming army, only Phoenix City and Tongyuan Fort can withstand it.  Both Phoenix City and Tongyuan Fort were lost, and Lianshan Pass was the next target. How could they hold it?

    But Lin Zhidong led his troops to withdraw southward. After withdrawing for several miles, he went into the forest again. It took him a full day to go to the northeast to join the main force of the dragoons.

    "Old Lin, we met some Han people in the valley." Bian Hui, a missionary officer hiding in the mountains.

    Lin Zhidong asked: "There are still Han slaves in the mountains?"

    Bian Hui shook his head and said: "Not Han slaves, but Han people under the rule of the Tartars. You can go out of the mountains sixty miles north of Lianshan Pass, close to Liaoyang and Shenyang. Listen to those Han people, they were captured from Beizhili,  The Tatars did not turn them into serfs. There are more Han people like this in Weining and Qinghe. They mainly cultivate the barren land in the mountains, and they can hand over a lot of grain to the Tatars every year.  .”

    "In the past two years, the Han people have had a hard time, right?" Lin Zhidong asked.

    Bian Hui said: "A lot of people died of starvation. Dorgon lacked military rations, so he regulated the amount of rations each Han citizen should pay according to the old slave's method. If they fail to pay in one year, each family will kill one. If they fail to pay in two years, the whole family will be killed."  Light!"

    Lin Zhidong gritted his teeth and said, "Tartars are hateful!"

    Bian Hui put the saddle on the horse and said: "Bring all these Han people back, it's not a waste of time."

    "Who is going to withdraw?" Lin Zhidong said with a smile.

    Bian Hui said: "The military rations I carried are exhausted. If I don't leave, I will be hungry. Do you still want to stay and look for opportunities?"

    Lin Zhidong said: "Each of us has an axe. What did we bring it for? Go into the mountains and cut down trees to make ladders! The city wall of Lianshan Pass is not high, and there are not many guards, so we climbed up by surprise at night."

    "What about food?" Bian Hui asked.

    "Kill the horse!" Lin Zhidong was decisive.

    More than 2,000 dragoons, leading the Han people encountered in the mountains, plunged deeper into the mountains in the northeast.

    These Han people are familiar with the terrain and know how to get around to the north of Lianshan Pass.  Even if there are no Han people to guide the way, it is still possible to go around. There are three valley passages, and it is easy to find if you look carefully.

    After going around for a day and a night, Lin Zhidong asked the soldiers to cut down trees and kill relatively thin horses when they were hungry.

    A Lin was tense at Lianshan Pass for three days, when suddenly a Tartar soldier rushed to report: "The Nanman army is besieging Caohebao!"

    This news terrified Alin, but at the same time felt a little fortunate.

    What is horrifying is that when the Datong army captured Caohe Fort, the next target must be Lianshan Pass.  Fortunately, the Datong Army did not directly attack Lianshan Pass.

    The Tazi soldiers at Lianshanguan relaxed collectively when they learned that the Datong Army was in Caohebao.

    They know they must die, and it is better to die late than early.  Moreover, after confirming the location of the Datong Army, he can sleep peacefully these days without having to worry about it all day long.

    Even the cautious Alin began to relax, and took out wine and meat for his family to eat openly.

    Eat and drink enough, wait for the Datong army to kill, and then the whole family will desperately guard the pass.  They had no escape, and if they fled again, they would be Shenyang and Liaoyang. If they fled back, they would be beheaded 100% of the time. Abandoning the customs before a battle was a serious crime.

    &nbspbsp; In the three castles, the cries were loud, and many Tartar civilians were unwilling to abandon their property.

    Fuller Hun personally led the troops to fight, trying to drive away the hundreds of enemy cavalry and make a passage for the Tartars of Tongyuan Fort.

    Seeing the Tartars coming out of the castle, Lin Zhidong smiled, and said to his soldiers: "Stay back a little bit before fighting, don't send the Tartars back to Tongyuan Fort."

    The real function of the surprise attack on Lianshan Pass was to make Tongyuan Fort panic.  The Tartars of Tongyuan Fort either waited to be besieged to death, or immediately chose to break out of the siege.

    As long as there is a glimmer of hope, the Tartars will surely break through. Who wants to be trapped in a castle waiting to die?

    After breaking through the Lianshan Pass, the strategic significance of Tongyuan Fort will be lost in half.  Even if the Tartars choose to stick to it, the Datong Army can still advance from Caohebao and Lianshanguan, but the rear may be attacked at any time.

    Hundreds of dragoons retreated northward for more than ten miles.

    Fuller Hun asked all Tartars over the age of twelve to take up arms to fight, and even Tartar women formed an army.  If they want to survive, they have to rush over with all their strength.

    Lin Zhidong took out the binoculars, looked at the chaotic marching formation of the Tartars, and couldn't help laughing: "The commander of the Tartars is crazy, retreat further. The longer the march, the more chaotic the enemy will be. It is best to drag them to the vicinity of Lianshan Pass and wait for them to retreat."  beat."

    From the raid on Lianshan Pass to the intentional release of the Tartars back to Tongyuan Fort, Lin Zhidong has been playing psychological tactics.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 557 [Send you to death, let me escape]

    "This place is good, very suitable for killing tartars."

    Lin Zhidong finally chose the terrain, which is the confluence of Xihe and its tributaries.

    If more than 4,000 Tartars wanted to rush out, they had to cross a tributary of the Xihe River.  A small river was narrow and shallow, the narrowest point was only about ten meters, and the dragoons swam across with their horses in their arms.

    Hundreds of dragoons waited on the bank after crossing the river.

    "Swim with the livestock, as much as you can run!" Fuller ordered.

    Banner Ding and Tartar civilians had no choice but to bite the bullet and cross the river. Those who were afraid of the water were all stunned and at a loss.

    Lin Zhidong slowly raised his firecracker and shot at the tartars in the river

    Gunshots sounded, and the Tartars were in chaos, even those who hadn't entered the river were also in chaos.  Those in the river swam upstream and downstream one after another, trying to avoid the Datong army on the bank.

    Is the main general Fuller Hun crazy?

    This is simply letting the Tartars die!

    Of course he wasn't crazy.

    "Let's go!"

    Fuller picked up his little daughter, put his wife and son on horseback, and fled along the river bank with his entourage.

    The other two Tatar generals also reacted immediately, and fled frantically with their families and entourage.

    Those Eight Banners soldiers, bannermen, and civilians who obeyed the order to go down the river were all cannon fodder sent to their deaths.  There are also livestock in the river and on the banks of the river, which are also left for the Datong army to rob, and the chief general Fu Lehun just took advantage of the chaos to escape.

    Fu Lehui was born in the Shu Mulu clan, he was a Tazi nobleman, so he didn't want to die with the Tazi commoners!

    Lin Zhidong on the other side of the river was dumbfounded, and took a breath: "This Tartar general, you can really do it, and set aside half to chase the enemy!"

    The Datong army chased for about three miles across the river, and they couldn't continue to chase.

    Because the south bank is relatively wide, you can run on horseback.  But the north bank soon encountered mountains, and there were only narrow slopes along the river, so you had to lead a horse to walk.

    Fuller Hun galloped all the way,

    He galloped along the river for twenty miles, dismounting his horse and crossing a small river halfway.

    Then, abandon the horse and enter the mountain.

    Fulehun's escape route is not a serious mountain road at all.  It is so steep that it is difficult to lead a horse. Even if a person is climbing, he will be exhausted and have to climb over many mountains to get out.

    Lin Zhidong led his army across the river in pursuit, only to see more than 30 horses at the end of the valley, these Tartar nobles and their followers all slipped away.

    Alin, the guard of Lianshan Gate, was captured and finally regained his freedom, but was sent to death by Fulhun.

    He was lying next to a farm ox, bearing the bullets of the Datong Army, when he suddenly heard movement behind him, he turned his head and saw Fu Lehun leading his family away.

    "Achina (animal)!"

    Alin cursed and shouted at the Datong army on the other side: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender!"

    Some Tartar soldiers, very lucky to swim ashore, were so exhausted that they knelt on the ground and begged to surrender.

    However, what greeted them was the blade of the dragoons.

    There are only a few hundred dragoons here, and half of them went to chase Fulehun.  They didn't dare to accept too many prisoners. After all, they were all ferocious Tartar soldiers, so killing them was the safest and least troublesome.

    Seeing that the surrender was also killed, the Tartars in the river swam back one after another.  Those who didn't enter the water left their livestock and food and ran into the mountains like headless chickens.

    Beheaded all the Tartars who crossed the river, and the dragoons crossed the river with their horses.  After going ashore, they chased and killed them on horseback. Only when they encountered old and weak women and children did they stop wielding their sabers, and when they encountered young and strong Tartars, they hacked to death.

    When Lin Zhidong came back with the captured war horses, the banks were already covered with corpses, and there were quite a few floating in the river.

    Sent someone to contact Caohe Fort, Lu Xiangsheng was quite pleasantly surprised: "Tongyuan Fort has also been taken? Lin Zhidong is a general!"

    Lu Xiangsheng shelled Caohe Fort for several days, and there were only a few hundred defenders here.  When the news of the fall of Tongyuan Fort and Lianshan Pass came, the morale of the Tartar defenders was low. The defenders led the soldiers to abandon the fort and fled in the middle of the night.

    After clearing the fortress checkpoint in the mountain, Lu Xiangsheng took a rest for a whole day and continued to lead his troops northward, pointing directly at Weining Camp (near Benxi).

    According to legend, Fan Lihua was named "Marquis of Weining", with a radius of hundreds of miles as his fiefdom, so it was called Weining Camp.  This statement is difficult to verify, but Weining Camp did become a place name in the Ming Dynasty, instead of being called Weining Fort or Weining City.

    The army was still twenty miles away from Weining Camp, when Lu Xiangsheng encountered a group of Han Chinese.

    A group of Han Chinese with shaved heads.

    "Li Laixiang (Ma Zude, Qiao Henian), pay homage to the Great General of the Celestial Dynasty!" The three Han people took the lead and brought other Han people to pay their respects.??Gaizhou and Fuzhou, which were first occupied by the same army, were both Dorgon's Zhengbai Banner territories.  After the Tartars abandoned Beijing and returned to Liaodong, Dorgon had no choice but to redistribute the Banners. In order to avoid conflicts, he could only attack the dead Duduo and Azig's subordinates.

    Then we drew in the differentiation again, and it took several years to adjust.

    This time is also interesting, the cities captured by Yang Zhenqing and Lu Xiangsheng are all owned by Hauge.

    Hauge and Dorgon are the most panicked, uu reading <a href="http://www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a> other banner owners are not too  Big loss.  Even if Yaozhou is brought down, it will still be Dorgon's territory, so it's none of the business of other banner owners?

    The nobles with two red flags and two yellow flags are clamoring to give up Yaozhou.

    Some Manchu nobles even said: "Western Liaoning is not easy to defend. Anyway, it was the boundary of the former Ming Dynasty. Let's go back and defend the front lines of Haizhou, Anshan, Liaoyang, and Weining Camp."

    In fact, they just don't want to fight, because they don't have the confidence to win.

    Although knowing that abandoning the city is a slow death, it is better than a quick death.

    Just like a large international company, both executives and low-level employees know that the company is about to die.  However, there are only a few job hoppers, and most of them just hang around until they die with the company one day.

    It is a day to be able to hang around for a day, maybe it will not be so frustrating, and you can hang out longer.

    This kind of situation is suitable for the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, everyone thinks so.

    ?, after the report, the administrator will correct the chapter content later.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 558【Miner】

    "The county has set up Benxi Lake, and built Weining Camp in the city. Kaiyuan has 30,000 guards, and Tiechang Baihu City."

    In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, Daming set up 30,000 guards in Kaiyuan, and recruited and resettled a large number of nearby Jurchen people.  Although Kaiyuan's grain output was only enough for its own use, the iron smelting industry prospered rapidly, and the weapons manufacturing tasks assigned by the imperial court became heavier and heavier.

    Kaiyuan's weaponry quickly ran out of raw materials, so an iron factory was set up in Weiningying to provide Kaiyuan with wrought iron materials.

    The iron factory was located next to Weining Yingcheng, and was garrisoned by a hundred households leading troops, and a small town was specially built.

    As for Benxi Lake, it was originally called Cup Rhinoceros Lake, which was named after the cup shaped like a rhinoceros horn.  At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Benxi County was set up, and the county seat was set at the edge of Benxi Lake, about ten miles away from Weining Camp.  .

    Hearing that the Weining camp was besieged, why did Daishan rush to bring his troops back to help?

    Because as early as the Jiajing period, the iron output of Weiningying Iron Works accounted for one-seventh of the entire Liaodong.

    And 150 miles due east of Weining Camp, which is Pingdingshan Town, Xinbin County, is the main gold mine of the Tartars!

    In addition, Xiaosiping Village in Xinbin County has an arsenal established during the Nurhachi period.  "Siping" is a transliteration of Manchu, meaning "arrow shaft", and it is the arrow shaft production base of the Eight Banners Army.

    Once the Weining camp falls, the iron field will definitely be gone.  Gold mines and arsenals will also be threatened by the Datong Army.

    Daishan has enough reasons to return to the teacher, and Dorgon can't stop him at all.

    Li Laixiang came to see Lu Xiangsheng all day long like a douchebag: "General Lu, the iron smelting plant in Weiningying was not built in Baihu City, but in Mingshangou and Antgou on the north bank.  The son moved all the iron smelters to Weiningying City and Baihu City. But none of the miners in the valley were taken away, probably because they were afraid that the Han miners would cause trouble in the city.”

    "Are all the miners Han Chinese?" Lu Xiangsheng asked.

    Li Laixiang replied: "Ten years ago, the miners were all Han. But now, 40% are Han and 60% are Korean. Most of those Han miners in the past have died, and the Tartars can only kidnap Koreans to mine."

    When Lu Xiangsheng got the exact news, he immediately ordered his troops to cross the river and go to Mingshangou and Antgou to appease the miners.

    There are the most miners in Mingshangou, and the iron-smelting furnace can illuminate the valley until it is bright at night. This is the source of the place name "Mingshangou".

    Li Kun is a miner in Mingshangou, his father is an officer in Baihu City, and belongs to the resident military household of Weining Battalion dispatched by Kaiyuan 30,000 Guards.  After Li Kun's father was captured, he was thrown into Mingshangou to dig mines, and his family moved to nearby Mingshangou to farm.

    ?Father, eldest brother and second brother died of exhaustion in the mine one after another. Li Kun took over the job at the age of fifteen, and now he has been mining for three years.

    "Brother Li, why did the Tazi overseer leave?" Yan Hong asked early in the morning.

    Li Kun was also very puzzled: "I'm afraid something serious happened."

    There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and they don't even know that the Ming Dynasty has collapsed.

    These miners, the whole family lives in the mine, and even the iron smelting plant in the ravine is not allowed to come in contact with them.  Escape attempts are made every year, but most are caught and left to dry on wooden poles in the mine.

    "How about going to the ravine to see?"

    "Don't go, don't go, if the Tartars find out, it will be at least a whip."

    "Last night, there seemed to be no fire in the ravine. The iron has not been smelted. Something must have happened. Could it be that the emperor (Chongzhen) sent troops to kill him?"

    "If the imperial army could come, it would have already come, so is it still needed?"

    "Calculating the year and month, should it be the eighteenth year of Chongzhen?"

    "It was the eighteenth year of Chongzhen, and I started mining in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen."

    ""

    In the mine, there are also some hillsides that can be cultivated, which are assigned to the families of the earliest miners.  The harvested food is definitely not enough to eat, so there is no need to pay food, and it is purely based on mining to make a living. Regularly, Tatars send supplies such as rice and salt.

    The follow-up miners were even worse, all of them were taken captive from the customs and North Korea.

    Frowning, Li Kun walked to the col and observed the situation of the Shangou Iron Smelter.  There has been no smoke, and the iron smelting furnace is obviously turned off. What happened?

    ? Their information about the outside world comes from the North Korean miners who supplemented it two years ago.

    What are the Tartars fighting with the Datong Army.

    ? Even if asked in detail, the North Korean miners could not understand.  I only know that the Datong Army is a Han Chinese army, and there seems to be a Datong Emperor, but I don't know where it came from.

    "I'll go down the mountain to have a look." Li Kun said to Yan Hong.

    "You don't want to die?" Yan Hong said in shock.

    Li Kun showed a sad smile: "My father and brother are dead.? Miners.  Moreover, regardless of whether the Han miners or the North Korean miners, they will all be given food.

    Li Kun washed his body and got another set of clothes, which I heard belonged to a Datong soldier.

    He soon smelled the aroma of food, couldn't help swallowing, and then heard someone shouting: "Put on your clothes, and go to queue for porridge!"

    Porridge is miscellaneous grain porridge, such as sorghum, which was seized in Phoenix.

    Put some salt in the porridge, and it smells like oil.  It was an animal carrying grain. It was killed after being injured in the mountain, and the fat was thrown into the pot to cook with the porridge.

    There are no vegetables, but there is a bowl of pine needle tea.

    It is to drink water boiled with pine needles, which can supplement vitamins and treat night blindness.

    Li Kun ate very simple food, but was moved to tears.  There are clothes to wear and delicious food here. Unfortunately, my mother died of illness last winter, otherwise my mother could enjoy this kind of good life.

    Those in charge of managing the miners are all peasant and soldier cadres who accompany the army.

    After finishing a bowl of porridge, Li Kun ran over and knelt down to the peasant and soldier commander: "I want to be a soldier, and I want to fight with you!"

    The peasant and soldier officer asked with a smile: "You have just had enough to eat, why do you think about going to war?"

    "The Datong Army treated me well, but the Tatars treated me badly. I will follow the Datong Army to kill the Tartars!" Li Kun already knew the name of this army.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 559【Submissive】

    ,

    The chief general of Weining Battalion is called Han Yun.

    He is neither of Han origin nor Jurchen origin, but a Korean!

    Let's put it this way, before the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were no so-called Manchus at all.  It is purely the product of the forcible fusion of various tribes and nationalities in Liaodong, including many Korean ethnic groups.

    Man Qing Zhenghong Banner's first participating leader and the 14th assistant leader. The founder of this army is the Korean Han Yun, and most of the soldiers under his command are Koreans.

    Historically, Han Yun participated in the Battle of Saerhu, the Battle of Songjin, the Battle of Shanhaiguan, and the battle to conquer Korea.  From the beginning of Huang Taiji's succession to the throne, Han Yun has been fighting.  Especially in the several conquests against North Korea, Han Yun has always been a pioneer guide.  This guy even pretended to be a North Korean official, sneaked into North Korea's Uiju City, and set fire to bring the Qing army in.  .

    Now Han Yun's title is the first-class light car captain (three grades).

    Seeing that the moat was gradually being filled up by civilian husbands, and the Eight Banners soldiers in the city were panicked, Han Yun summoned the soldiers and said: "Among you, like me, most of you are Korean. But now there are no Koreans, only Manchurians. The emperor's grace is mighty, the great  The emperors of the two dynasties of the Qing Dynasty all showed great kindness to us. Those southern barbarians outside the city did not know that they would submit to the Qing Dynasty, but they dared to lead their troops to kill here. All soldiers, our chance to make meritorious service has come. Even if we die, we must  Guard the Weining camp for His Majesty, guard the Weining camp for Prince Li (Daishan)! Swear to defend the city to the death, long live the Qing Dynasty!"

    "Swear to defend the city to the death, long live the Qing Dynasty!" Everyone shouted.

    These guys are completely brainwashed.

    Or in other words, their life in Manchuria is far better than staying in North Korea.  The Qing Dynasty was their benefactor, and the King of Korea was the villain who oppressed them.

    In terms of treatment, they have been regarded as Manchurians, and all men are classified as bannermen.

    They belong to the Zhenghongqi Korean descent!

    Among the Koreans in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were two major Korean families, one was the Kim family and the other was the Han family.

    Especially Jin's, who doesn't even have a surname, just a coating called Xindali.  This guy has repeatedly made military exploits, and has already become the leader of the Zhenghuang Banner. He is also the head of the Three Banners Firearms Battalion of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

    As for Han Yun, there is also a younger brother named Han Ni, who is also a first-class light car captain of the third rank, and is currently fighting with Dorgon.

    "Father, there are many Han people in Weiningying and Baihu City," Han Ji reminded, "Beware of Han people acting as internal responders!"

    Han Yun said with a headache: "We really have to guard against the Han people."

    There are too many Han craftsmen in Weining Camp and Baihu City.

    When the Datong army came to kill, Han Yun detected the news, so he made preparations for defending the city in advance.  The blacksmiths in Mingshangou and Antgou were all quickly moved back to the city.  In addition, most of the mountain products in the mountains in southern Liaoning will be transported here to be processed by Han artisans.

    Han craftsmen, civilians, and merchants, together with their families, accounted for 40% of the population in the two cities—this is the data of the bannermen in the suburbs, all of whom were evacuated into the cities.

    Han Ji said: "How aboutkilling all the Han people?"

    "No!"

    Han Yun immediately dismissed it.

    It's not that he treats the Han people well, but that these craftsmen are too important.  He, father and son of the Han family, dared to kill all Han craftsmen, and Daishan dared to kill them all.

    After careful consideration, Han Yun said: "The iron wares of the Han people in the city are confiscated, even the kitchen knives are not allowed to be kept. The hammers and peeling knives of those craftsmen, as long as they are with iron, will be handed in within two days. If there are private possessions,  It's not too late to kill!"

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The sound of artillery roared outside the city, and the top of the city also fired at each other.

    In the city, all the Qing troops guarding the city were mobilized to search for all iron objects from house to house.

    These soldiers are not polite, of course they want to take the opportunity to blackmail and rob.  I said if you have iron utensils in your home, you must still hide iron utensils. If you don’t give enough money, you will be killed!

    "Master Jun, my family is really out of money. Food and salt prices have skyrocketed in the past two years, and it's hard to make ends meet on a small business. Where can I get money?"

    In Baihu City, the Han shopkeepers knelt down and begged.

    A Qing soldier frowned and said, "Look again, look again, and you can always get some money together. If it doesn't work, ask your neighbors to borrow some. We are also old acquaintances, and I don't want to embarrass you."

    The shopkeeper hesitated and said: "How about we wipe out all the accounts that the military master has kept before?"

    The Qing soldier was furious immediately: "Bastard, when did I owe you money?"

    "Yes, nothing owed, nothing owed!" The shopkeeper kowtowed again and again, and went back to the house to find out the broken silver, which looked like half a tael.Now that the Datong Army still did not burn, kill and loot, they finally completely believed in the military discipline of the Datong Army.

    "Master, there are local young men joining the army!"

    "Oh? A symbolic choice of ten, to assist in the garrison of Baihu City, and they will think about it if they don't want one."

    Lu Xiangsheng was very satisfied with this phenomenon. The people in the city volunteered to join the army, which showed that the people recognized the Datong Army.  They are willing to be under the rule of the Datong Army and do not want to return to the precarious state before.

    And in Weiningying City next door, in the house of Shang Shang Hong Chuxiu, Hong Yigong smiled and said: "Uncle, Baihu City has been conquered, is Weining Camp still far away? It's time to do it."

    "What if?" Hong Chuxiu hesitated.

    Hong Chuxiu was a traitor, and by passing news to the Tartars, he obtained the right to receive the nearby wild ginseng.

    As for Hong Yigong, he is a secret agent of Datong, who came here to join his uncle, and has been dormant in Weining Camp for two years.

    Hong Yigong said: "Uncle, to put it bluntly, you have been a traitor for more than ten years, and you can get it right in the new dynasty of Datong? My uncle took in my nephew, and he was handed over to the Tartars for two years.  Are you thinking of taking refuge in the Datong court? If you don’t make a move at this time, you will be ransacked by the Datong army?”

    Hong Chuxiu was upset and walked up and down the room.

    Hong Yigong laughed contemptuously, stood up and said, "Since uncle is hesitant, I will surrender to the Tartars and fulfill my uncle's loyalty to the Tartar emperor."

    "Don't go!"

    Hong Chuxiu was shocked: "I listen to you! ?

 Text 560 [Speedy work and meritorious service]

    With the cooperation of his uncle, Hong Yigong began to spread rumors: In order to defend the city, the tartars were afraid of the Han people's internal response, and wanted to kill all the Han people in the city!

    In just two or three days, it spread throughout the streets and alleys.

    The rumor spread so quickly, thanks to Han Yun's behavior of confiscating the iron.  It is clear that they do not trust the Han people, and they clearly want to suppress the Han people to death. After many Han people are blackmailed, they don't even have enough money to buy food for the next month.

    Kong Wenzhang, the biggest wine merchant in the city, is also a traitor.  Most of the sorghum harvested by surrounding villages is sold to him to make wine, except for grain and retained use.

    In the cold and food-deficient Northeast, liquor is in short supply!

    Kong Wenzhang came to Hong Chuxiu quietly, chatted nonsense, and said with emotion: "This business can't be done. The imperial court sends more money every year, and the sorghum is used to pay for grain. How can there be much wine left? Brother Hong is better,  If he is allowed to suffer from natural disasters and man-made disasters, ginseng will definitely not worry about selling."

    "Hi," Hong Chuxiu shook his head again and again, "The mountains to the south are occupied by Emperor Zhao's soldiers. Where can I collect the ginseng?"

    After rambling on and on for a long time, Kong Wenzhang asked in a low voice: "Brother Hong, have you heard that the Eight Banners soldiers want to kill all the Han people in the city?"

    Hong Chuxiu said: "The soldiers of the Eight Banners can really do it."

    "What do you think?" Kong Wenzhang asked.

    "What else can we think? Tartars raise their knives, let's stretch our necks." Hong Chuxiu said with a strange air.

    "Tart Tartar?" Kong Wenzhang was startled, "Brother Hong called Master Baqi like that, but he has already found a way out?"

    Hong Chuxiu turned his head and said, "Come out."

    Hong Yigong walked slowly into the hall, smiled and cupped his hands at Kong Wenzhang.

    Hong Chuxiu introduced: "This is my little nephew, who voted for Emperor Zhao a few years ago. Emperor Zhu has Jinyi guards, and Emperor Zhao has black clothes guards. My little nephew is an errand for the black clothes guards."

    Kong Wenzhang was so surprised and delighted that he knelt down on the spot: "Kong Wenzhang, a criminal, kowtows to the master of the guard in black!"

    Daming Jinyiwei, really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even the black-clothed guards can be honored.

    Hong Yigong pretended to be arrogant, sat down slowly and said: "Get up. Your Majesty will send 800,000 troops this year. Shanshan, Hebei, and Liaodong are all at war. It is necessary to wipe out the fake Qing and the fake Shun. You are a generation who has forgotten their ancestors."  As a traitor, he has done a lot of evil things, and according to the law, all the houses should be ransacked and beheaded.”

    Just as Kong Wenzhang stood up, he shrank his neck and knelt down again in fright: "Master in black, please show me the way."

    "Is there any way out? It's nothing more than taking a crime and doing meritorious service," Hong Yigong said, "Every family sets fire in the city at night. After the fire starts, the city will be in chaos, and the Datong army outside the city will follow the trend to attack the city."

    Kong Wenzhang wondered: "The Tatar soldiers don't trust the Han people, so they don't let us help defend the city. There is a curfew at night, and they will be punished as spies if they walk around at will. This how to set fire to this?"

    Hong Yigong sneered and said: "Don't go out and set fire on the street, don't you know how to burn your own house?"

    "Burn your own house?" Kong Wenzhang was dumbfounded.

    Hong Chuxiu said: "My Hong family's house is definitely going to be burned. If you don't take the opportunity to make meritorious service, no matter how big the house is, it will be ransacked by the heavenly soldiers. Once you make meritorious service, even if the house is burned, are you afraid that you will not be prosperous in the future?"

    Kong Wenzhang pondered: "That's the truth. But well, burn it, burn it, the old one won't go, and the new one won't come!"

    A few days later, Hong Yigong contacted a total of four traitor merchants.

    They didn't say when to set the fire, but let them bury the silver and move all valuables to the courtyard.  The firewood is ready, first pour it with oil, and if someone sets fire at night, set it on fire.

    Curfew can not go to the street, they all can only burn their own home!

    As for Hong Yigong, he would lead people to take advantage of the chaos and continue to set fires. During the two years of lurking, he also developed several anti-Qing righteous fighters.

    After Lu Xiangsheng captured Baihu City, he waited patiently. He knew that there was an internal response in the city, and he was ready to attack the city at night.

    finally……

    "Master, the city is on fire!"

    Lu Xiangsheng boarded the tower of Baihu City, clenched his fists and smiled: "As planned, attack the city immediately."

    The Hong family was the first to catch fire, and Han Yun sent a group of soldiers to check.

    When they came to the gate of Hong's house, Hong Chuxiu was sitting on the ground and crying: "My house, whoever paid a thousand dollars, bought my house! Is it easy for me to save some money by doing business? It will be burned down in one fire."  It's all gone woo woo woo, I'm dead!"

    Neighbors were afraid that their homes would be ignited, so they rushed to help put out the fire.

    The fire became more and more intense, and the Kong family on the same street also quickly ignited a big fire, and then four consecutive fires broke out.

    Han Yun came to the top of the city, overlooking the city.??, more than half of them have escaped.  The first troops of the Datong Army even took the opportunity to climb to the top of the city.

    Knowing that he could no longer defend, Han Yun said to his own soldiers: "Go and tell the Major General to go to Beicheng immediately. Remember, speak quietly, and don't disturb others."

    The soldiers rode away on horseback, ran for dozens of steps, suddenly reined in their horses, turned, and fled northward along the street.

    As for the major general?

    The major general is heroic, covering the escape of friendly troops, and fighting bloody battles in the city. He is really a loyal and brave soldier of our Qing Dynasty!

    When Han Yun rode home and took his family to the North City Gate, the Datong Army really entered the city.  The east wall was broken first, because the defenders here fled the most, and then the south wall collapsed.

    "Major General, the enemy is coming from the south wall!"

    "The southern city wall is facing the water, how could it be the first to fall? Where is my father?"

    After Han Ji asked this question, he already guessed something, immediately turned around and slipped back into the city, and rode towards the north gate of the city.

    As soon as he left, all the nearby defenders fled.

    However, after the Datong Army occupied the east wall, someone blew the horn immediately, and Lin Zhidong's cavalry hiding in the northern valley quickly rushed out of the valley after receiving the signal.

    The Tartars who escaped from the north gate will soon face the blade of more than two thousand dragoons.

 Text 561 [Prelude to the Decisive Battle]

    ,

    Forty miles east of Liaoyang, Daishan led his army back to help quickly, but it was still a step too late.

    Upon receiving the news of the fall of the Weining camp, Daishan sat in a daze in the camp tent, and all his resentment was blamed on Dorgon.

    If too many troops had not been deployed to fight in Hebei, how could the mountainous areas of southern Liaoning be lost one after another?  Everyone was unwilling to send troops to Hebei, only Hauge said he wanted to fight, and that bastard Dorgon agreed.

    Dorgon and Hauge are going to fight, how can other Manchu nobles stop it?

    The strategic position of the Weining Battalion is extremely important. It can directly attack Liaoyang to the west and Shenyang to the north.  Both Shenyang and Liaoyang were the core of Manchu rule!

    Next, Daishan didn't know where Lu Xiangsheng would march, so he could only divide his troops into two.  One was to guard Shenyang, the other was to guard Liaoyang, and at the same time sent a message to Dorgon, asking Dorgon to bring his troops back quickly, and not to waste money with the main force of the Datong Army in Yaozhou.

    Yaozhou is the Dashiqiao City hundreds of years later. That city was built by Man Qingxiu to confront the Ming army in southern Liaoning, in order to cut off the connection between the Ming army in southern Liaoning and western Liaoning.

    It has no value in itself. At this critical moment, you have to give up when you should give up.  .

    Daishan sent someone to report to Yaozhou, and Dorgon fell into a long silence when he received the news.

    What the hell happened to me?

    Lu Xiangsheng has only one division in his hand, and he has to transport grain from North Korea. The grain roads are all difficult to walk in the mountains and valleys.  As long as the defenders of the Weining Battalion hold out for another month or two, Lu Xiangsheng will inevitably fall into the predicament of food shortage.

    Why can't I hold it, it stands to reason that I can hold it!

    "Prince Regent, withdraw your troops."

    A meeting of the Manchu nobles was held, and they unanimously agreed to withdraw their troops and go back to defend Liaoyang and Shenyang. Dorgon could no longer just go his own way.

    Dorgon said: "We have to wait for the rainy season, retreating now is courting death!"

    The northeast rainy season falls in June and July of the lunar calendar.

    When Cao Cao conquered Karasuma, it was the rainy season in western Liaoning, and the banks of the two grain canals were muddy, so there was no way to march and fight.  In the end, he had no choice but to adopt Guo Jia's suggestion, abandoning his luggage and taking the Lulong Ancient Road, taking great risks to carry out long-distance raids.

    Yuan Shao's two sons, as well as the leaders of Karasuma, did not expect Cao Cao to send troops in the rainy season, and they were defeated by Cao Cao.

    When fighting in the Northeast, we must pay attention to the weather.

    One of the reasons for the defeat of the Ming army in the Battle of Sarhu was that it did not care about the timing.

    ?It was said that the four-way army was encircling and suppressing, but they actually sent troops in February of the lunar calendar. Some places were still icy and snowy, and it even snowed several times in succession.  Under heavy snow, the Tartars set up obstacles in the mountains again, causing the Ming army's four-way army, some marching fast, some marching slowly, to be defeated by Nurhachi's concentrated forces.

    Daming's frontline generals, of course, knew that this was not possible, but they couldn't bear the urging of the civil servants.

    ?Fang Congzhe, Huang Jiashan, Zhao Xingbang and other officials kept urging and urging, saying that if there were no troops, the food and pay would not be able to support it-the military pay was higher in the state of war, and a lot of military expenses could be saved by finishing the war early.

    In desperation, Yang Gao bit the bullet and sent out troops. It is no wonder that this kind of confusion is undefeated, and Nurhachi has achieved the reputation of winning more with less.

    The snowy weather has been used by Nurhachi, and the rainy season has also been used by Nurhachi.

    In the forty-seventh year of Wanli, when Nurhaci attacked Kaiyuan, all the later Jin nobles expressed their opposition, because the rainy season had come, and there was no way to march.  Nurhachi tried his best to resist all opinions, and imitated Cao Cao without bringing luggage, but only brought some chariots, and went to Kaiyuan in the rain. The Ming army was scattered outside the city, and it was too late to return to the city to gather.

    Therefore, Kaiyuan fell and Tieling fell.

    The combat policy proposed by Dorgon is to fight against the Datong Army during the rainy season.

    ? Although after being exposed to rain, the bowstrings of the Eight Banners Soldiers will become soft, and the arrow feathers will shrink when exposed to water, which will affect the hit rate.  But the bows and arrows could still be shot, but the Datong Army's cannons couldn't fire, and the Datong Army's firecrackers couldn't fire either.

    In the original Gaizhou offensive and defensive battle, the Manchu Qing lost too many artillery pieces.  In addition, the Datong imperial court strictly prohibited the transportation of gunpowder to the north, and the Manchu Qing could not enter the pass to buy gunpowder. The Manchu Qing's firearms troops had been greatly reduced.

    Dorgon wants to win the battle, but he can only fight in the rainy season, which is why he has been wasting time.

    Now that the Weining camp has fallen, even if Dorgon withdraws his troops, he will have to wait for the rainy season before withdrawing.  At that time, the luggage will be transported into Yaozhou City, and the main force of the Qing Dynasty will withdraw lightly, and by the way, induce the Datong army to fight in the rainy day

    Looking at the rough sand table, Li Zheng planted the flag of the Datong Army in the position of the Weining Camp, and said, "One month later, half a month earlier, the rainy season in Liaodong is coming soon. This Dorgon will definitely not be able to consume enough food."  We, but we have been wasting with us.?This kind of waterproof device can only be equipped with flintlock guns, and matchlock guns are completely useless.

    Wu Sangui abandoned his horse and fought on foot at this moment, and led the team forward slowly.

    Wu Sangui did not dare to surrender or defect, because the Wu family and his ancestors were the largest traitor family in Liaodong, and he knew the Datong court's policy on traitors.

    However, Wu Sangui's soldiers were ready to flee at any moment.

    The Tartars are desperately fighting with the Datong army, so it's none of their business with the Han army?  There is no need to lose your life if you fight for show. Once the main force of the Tartars collapses, all the Han Chinese who have been incorporated into the Eight Banners Army in recent years may kneel down and beg for surrender.

    Of course, the Eight Banners of the Han Army with profound qualifications, it is estimated that they will really fight hard, because they really regard themselves as the Eight Banners Army.

    "Boom!"

    Several thunderclaps sounded, and the rain became heavier, and it was no longer a light rain.

    The flags of both sides were issued, and the center and two wings began to advance.

    The Datong army walked very slowly, marching in formation in the mud, fearing that their feet would slip and fall, but the firecrackers were holding the winning treasure in their hands.

 Text 562 [Singing in the Rain]

    Dorgon stood on the high platform and observed the battlefield with binoculars.

    The rain curtain interfered with the line of sight, making it difficult to see clearly.  But one thing is certain, the Datong Army did not bother to move the artillery, because there were no buildings such as canopies near the battlefield.

    The camps of the two armies are separated by several miles, and the artillery has to be slowly brought over.  All the way had to be sheltered from the rain, a canopy had to be built on the fort, and the medicine pool had to be cleaned and dried. With that spare time, Dorgon had already evacuated.

    The elite central force of the Eight Banners Army is led by Nikan and Yue Le respectively.

    Both of them are the grandsons of Nurhachi, and they were quickly promoted by Dorgon (more to win over the factions behind them).  Especially Yue Le, who is only 20 years old this year, has already been named the Lord of the Town, so he can be called brave and good at fighting.  .

    Moving forward with one foot deep and the other shallow, Yue Le's boots got stuck in the mud, and he pulled them out several times.

    He looked around and found that many of his soldiers had their shoes ripped off in the mud.  Yue Le said to the messenger: "The whole army stops, take off their boots and go!"

    On the side of the Datong Army, they took off their shoes halfway.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The Chinese troops on both sides were beating drums, but under the rain, the drums sounded dull and weak.

    Li Zheng was in the central army, Xiao Zongxian and Hu Dinggui respectively led their troops forward to fight Nikan and Yue Le.

    Although each other's cavalry abandoned their horses and fought on foot, they were still classified as two wings and habitually carried out outflanking.

    There are more than 30,000 troops on both sides who are confronting each other head-on.  Due to the rainy weather and muddy battle, neither side increased the width of the battlefield, but increased the depth of the formation by coincidence - Dorgon was afraid that the formation would be too thin to be completely killed, but Li Zheng did it to confuse the enemy.

    Nikan sent two troops, intending to test the attack first, but saw that Hu Dinggui sent out all the troops.

    "The whole army presses up!"

    Nikan thought that Hu Dinggui would give it a go, so naturally he didn't dare to neglect, leaving only a small number of reserve teams, and sending the rest out to fight.

    Xiao Zongxian and Yue Le's situation is similar.

    On the east side of the battlefield, after abandoning their horses, the cavalry of both sides marched towards a slope, hoping to occupy a high place in advance to gain an advantage.

    ? On the west side of the battlefield, near the river, it is a depression, and the rainy season is almost like stepping on a paddy field.  Both sides advanced slowly, and most of their strength was used to pull their feet out of the mud.

    ? On the frontal battlefield, every time a certain distance is advanced, the generals of both sides will stop and adjust their formation before moving on.  Because the ground is too difficult to walk, if you advance more than ten steps, the formation will inevitably be uneven.

    Yue Le suddenly brought his own soldiers and reserve team and pressed forward.

    He was afraid that if something went wrong, it would be difficult for the reserve team to rescue.  In the case of muddy ground, the reserve team must be closer to the battle line, so that the reserve team can quickly rush to make up for the leak.

    The elite main forces of both sides are getting closer and closer.  Fifty steps, forty steps, thirty steps, twenty steps

    They are all twenty steps away, and they are still stopping. Let's arrange the formation first.  Because there are no long-range troops, and you are not afraid of the opponent's charge, you can calmly form a team.

    ? Today is a battle of cold weapons. Whoever has a well-organized formation will have a greater chance of winning.

    Dorgon watched with binoculars, and there were soldiers holding umbrellas beside him.  Although the telescope was not exposed to rain, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it was almost impossible to see the situation in the distance.

    "Raise the gun!"

    Saul drew his sword and shouted, the flag commander immediately waved the flag, and the army began to advance with long spears.

    Solhe came from the Yehenala family, and was the founder of the third and ninth leader of Zhenghuang Banner in Manchuria.  He can also be considered a minority shareholder of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because he founded Shiguan Zuoling, and this army can be passed on to his children and grandchildren in the future.

    At this moment, the distance between the main force of the two sides is only ten steps from the closest one, and fifteen steps from the farthest one.

    The Datong Army stopped advancing, and immediately afterwards, Hu Dinggui and Xiao Zongxian asked the messengers to wave the command flags.

    As the front-line commander, Yuan Siqian also conveyed the military order, and then looked at Solhe's troops more than ten meters away.

    Solhe led his troops to speed up, and when he rushed to the front of the Datong Army eight meters away, he suddenly saw the front row of the Datong Army squatting down, revealing a barrage of firecrackers behind them.

    Is it possible to fire guns in rainy days?

    Solhe was wondering when he suddenly heard a gunshot in the rain.

    A row of guns with a distance of only eight meters, only eight meters, a pig can aim with a gun!

    When Saul and he defected to Huang Taiji, he could only command 300 people, but now he can command 3,000 people.  As the gunshots sounded, his troops fell down in an instant in the front row, leaving only a few lucky ones standing still.

    This is just the beginning.

    &nbsStaggering to stand up, he wanted to raise his knife to fight for his life, but was stabbed to death by several long guns on the spot.

    These follow-up troops, regardless of the battle on both sides, went straight to chase Dorgon's central army.

    Wu Sangui rolled and crawled, and escaped for two miles.

    The cotton armor was too soaked in water, and it was too difficult to run on the muddy ground. He was almost too tired to run.  He wanted to call the soldiers over and help him run, but he couldn't see the soldiers at all.

    Wu Sangui heard footsteps, and a Datong army chased after him in the rain.

    He saw clearly the leader of the team, and quickly shouted: "Brother Wang, I am willing to surrender, don't kill me!"

    Wang Tingchen laughed loudly, and spit out again: "Who the hell is your brother? Bind up and catch a traitor!"

    Zu Dashou was also tired from running, and sat in the mud wearing his armor.

    He drew his knife across his neck and wanted to commit suicide.  But he couldn't let go, the knife was clamped around his neck for a long time, until the Datong army chased him, and he threw away the waist knife and waited to be captured.

    "Boom!"

    ? Lightning and thunder, and more rain.

    The Eight Banners soldiers in Yaozhou City are always paying attention to the situation on the battlefield.  Knowing that Dorgon's main force was defeated, he didn't dare to defend the city anymore. The general took his family and abandoned the city in the rain and fled to Xining Fort in the northwest.

    As for the supplies that Dorgon transported to the city, there was no way to take them away at all, and they were just waiting for the Datong Army to receive them.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 563 [Undercurrent Surge]

    One side was too tired to escape, and the other side was too tired to chase, the muddy water in the rain was full of people.

    Dorgon had already taken off his armor and boots, although it was dangerous to stop to remove his armor.  But as long as you take off the armor, you can definitely make up for your escape time. The cotton armor is too heavy after being soaked in the rain, and it is too difficult to pull out the boots when they step into the mud.

    "Your Highness, let's go, I'll lead the troops to stop the enemy!" Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer, Wu Bai drew his sword and summoned the guards to fight back.

    Dorgon was inexplicably moved, and said: "I will treat your people kindly!"

    Wu Bai was the 16th minister who was reused by Huang Taiji, and his father, Wu Likan, was in charge of the forward.  Wu Bai himself joined the army at the age of sixteen and fought with Nurhachi and Huang Taiji. After Dorgon took power, he was named a first-class viscount.  He is one of the ancestors of the Guarjia family.

    Wu Bai stayed behind to collect the defeated soldiers, and when the Datong army came after them, they gathered hundreds of people.  .

    The Eight Banners soldiers fled and scattered, and the Datong Army also chased and dispersed.

    Facing more than a hundred soldiers of the Eight Banners of Datong, the leading officer immediately blew his whistle.

    Hundreds of fellow troops nearby gathered one after another, forming up to surround these fearless enemies.  Both sides were so exhausted that they had no energy left. They relied entirely on willpower to support each other. They stabbed each other for a long time and didn't kill a few, but many Eight Banners soldiers were injured.

    Wu Yong, who had followed Zhao Han in Luling County, was finally transferred to Liaodong as brigade commander.

    At this moment, his whole body was weak, his legs were trembling with exhaustion, and he stabbed Wu Bai's cotton armor several times in a row.  Cotton armor swollen by rain is even more difficult to break through!

    Luckily, one soldier stabbed Wu Bai so that his body shook, and Wu Yong took the opportunity to shoot accurately and mercilessly.

    Right in the throat.

    The sixteen ministers under Huang Taiji's command fell slowly while clutching his neck. Blood gushed out from the wound and mixed into the muddy water on the ground, making it difficult to distinguish.

    "Caught a high-ranking Tartar official!"

    Another Datong army was shouting nearby, and it was unknown which Manchu nobleman had been captured.

    Wang Tingchen raised his head, walked up to Wu Sangui and asked, "Which one is this?"

    Wu Sangui took a closer look and replied: "The Sixteenth Minister, Abu Dai, the Fucha family."

    "Haha, kill a big fish." Wang Tingchen laughed.

    Wu Sangui quickly got busy, and someone caught another general and came over and asked, "Who is this?"

    Wu Sangui said: "Suohun, Niu Gulu, son of Eyidu, the five founding ministers of the Puppet Qing Dynasty."

    "If you want to kill, kill, don't talk so much nonsense!" Suo Hun was pressed in the mud, and he was still struggling and shouting.  This guy seemed very unwilling. He was the general of Dorgon's Chinese army, and the army collapsed before he had time to fight.

    Soon another prisoner came and asked Wu Sangui, "Who is this?"

    Wu Sangui looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said, "I don't know."

    The prisoner roared: "Grandpa is called Zhang Ku, Batulu of Manchuria bestowed by Emperor Taizong!"

    "It's still fierce if you are caught!" The Datong officer who captured him kicked him immediately.

    Zhang Ku fell into the muddy water, stiffened his neck and said: "I don't accept it, you use demon magic, if you are a warrior, you can fight again with real swords and guns!"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Datong soldiers laughed.

    To be honest, even inside the Datong Army, they didn't take the leather case of the firecracker seriously.  After all, it can only be shot once in rainy days, and it is completely useless at ordinary times, but who knows that it will work wonders at critical moments.

    The Manchus didn’t know that, they thought that the firecrackers of the Datong Army could keep shooting in the rain.

    So after the collapse of the former army, the other Qing troops were frightened and frightened, and they did not dare to fight the Datong army head-on.  In addition, the two wings also collapsed one after another, and the morale of the Eight Banners soldiers of the Chinese army dropped, and they began to run away as soon as they were rushed by the defeated soldiers.

    The pursuit battle was still going on, and many Eight Banners soldiers collapsed from exhaustion, lying in the mud resigned to their fate, waiting to be caught.

    When the Datong army collapsed after chasing them, they would often catch an enemy, tie him up on the spot, and then sit on the captive to rest by himself.

    According to post-war statistics, more than 6,000 enemy troops were beheaded, more than 8,000 enemy troops were captured, and the remaining Tartars all ran away.

    Of course they did not run away as part of the establishment. Some ran northwest, some ran northeast, and many fled into the mountains in the northeast.

    Dorgon ran all the way to Haizhou, waited for four days, and fled back to some defeated soldiers one after another.  He repeatedly counted the number of people, and there were only more than 5,000 people left in the tens of thousands of troops.  After waiting for another two days, more than a thousand people fled back again.

    At this time, the rainstorm has ended, and there are a few light rains every now and then.

    After the heavy rain, Li Zheng led his army straight to Haizhou.  It was cloudy and rainy, so I didn't bring much luggage, and all the artillery was left in Yaozhou.

    "Abandon Haizhou!"

    &nbsp; In the past few years since Dorgon withdrew to Liaodong, the policy has gradually reversed.  The annexation of land became more and more serious, and the farther away from Liaoyang and Shenyang, the more reckless the Eight Banners disciples became, turning all Han peasants into serfs.  The big landlords of the Han people also plundered the land of the peasants through usury and turned the peasants into their own tenants.

    This year is even more stormy. For Dorgon to fight the war, the Han peasants have been exploited too severely. Even the villages around Liaoyang are already brewing peasant uprisings.

    However, the traitors who took refuge in the Qing Dynasty were still dismantling each other, and they were divided into three factions.

    One group is the old traitors represented by Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo, most of whom took refuge in Nurhachi.  It can be called a generation of traitors.

    One faction is Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, traitors who surrendered during Huang Taiji's period.  It can be called the second generation of traitors.

    One faction is the traitors who defected to the Qing Dynasty outside the customs during Dorgon's period.  It can be called three generations of traitors.

    The contradiction between the first generation of traitors and the second generation of traitors is extremely deep.

    ?Because after the surrender of the second generation of traitors, Huang Taiji rewarded a large amount of livestock and grain, which were obtained from the first generation of traitors.  At that time, the old traitors called themselves "old people", called Kong Youde and others "new people", and complained that Huang Taiji had forgotten the old people when he had new people.

    As for the three generations of traitors, they were jointly suppressed by the first and second generations of traitors.

    At this moment, in Shenyang City, the three generations of traitors are the busiest.  They had the shortest time to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, and their crimes were the shallowest. They had low official positions and titles, and their family property was not very rich. They were trying to rebel and make contributions to the Datong court.

    Hou Fangyu's father, Hou Xun, is still alive at this moment, but he was forced to become the leader of three generations of traitors. They all count on Hou Xun to preside over the overall situation and start an uprising in Shenyang.

 Body 564【Civil strife and uprising】

    ?????Shenyang, Hou Zhai.

    ?????Feng Quan said in a low voice: "Mr. Ruogu, the puppet Qing Dynasty and the Han officials are all waiting for you to make up your mind!"

    "What idea can I make?" Hou Xun asked back.

    ???? "The world has been owned by the Han people since ancient times. How can there be a barbarian who can stay in the gods for a long time? No matter how prosperous the Mongol Yuan army is, it will not be a century of national fortune. The Jurchen Mandarin slaves dare to establish a country and proclaim themselves emperor," Feng Quan said indignantly,  "This is a ridiculous thing, and it really makes people angry. We, the Confucian scholars, read the books of the sages and know the way of the sages. Before I surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, I was in Cao Ying and my heart was in the Han Dynasty. Now we should rise up secretly to meet the heavenly soldiers!"

    ????? Hou Xun sarcastically said, "Your Excellency seems to be the one who urged Dorgon to issue the order to shave his hair?"

    "That's what Sun Zhixie did, and it has nothing to do with me." Feng Quan refused to admit it.

    Hou Xun said again: "During the Great War in the Central Plains, you were the one who recruited Zuo Liangyu for the Tartars, right?"

    ????? Feng Quan shook his head again and again: "I was ordered to be an envoy, but it was just to gain the trust of the Tatars, so that we can start an incident in Shenyang today."

    ?????Hou Xun sighed: "You are trying to kill me!"

    ???? "Why did you say that, sir?" Feng Quan was puzzled, "Mr.'s brothers and nephews are all officials in the new dynasty of Datong If the husband rebelled against the Qing in Shenyang and echoed with his clan, wouldn't it be our Datong court?"  A loyal minister? This must be a good story!"

    ???? "Hey, I should have escaped earlier, so as not to get into trouble with you idiots." Hou Xun looked frustrated.

    Just as Feng Quan was about to say more, there was a sudden commotion in the street, and then Hou's house became lively.

    ????? North Korean Baoyi Xindali, with the firearms battalion of the Manchu House of Internal Affairs, rushed into the house and began to arrest people.

    ?????Feng Quan was horrified, and quickly shouted: "I am a man of the regent, and without the order of the regent, you slaves must not arrest me!"

    "I came here by the emperor's order. Could it be that the regent is stronger than your majesty!" Xin Dali smiled contemptuously, "Hold tight to the prison, he will be tortured, and he must confess his accomplices!"

    ?…… A generation of traitors, mainly senior civil servants and rich gentry.

    ?????The second generation of traitors, mainly senior generals.

    ?………Three generations of traitors, most of them were middle and high-level civil officials, and many of them were cronies promoted by Dorgon.

    ?????Now, the second generation of traitors are fighting outside, and they have lost the battle.  One generation of traitors took the opportunity to attack the third generation of traitors, and they will be able to monopolize the power of internal affairs from then on.

    ????? Empress Dowager Bumbutai, obviously joined forces with Fan Wencheng and Ning Wanwo to seize power!

    ????? In order to win over the nobles of the Eight Banners, Dorgon continued to erode the interests of the Two Yellow Banners and distributed them to the other Six Banners.  The queen mother was very unhappy, even afraid that her son would be abolished, and now she finally seized the opportunity.

    ????? When Dorgon returns to Shenyang, he will find that his confidants, civil servants, have all been arrested and tortured in prisons. They have all committed the crime of leading the Nanjing court!

    ?????

    ????? Palace.

    ????? Shi Tingzhu roared anxiously: "Hurry up and report, I want to see the Queen Mother immediately!"

    ?????Shi Tingzhu came from the Guerjia family. As early as 200 years ago, his ancestors had been a general of the Ming Dynasty, and since then they have changed their surname to "Shi".  He used to lead the Han army with a red flag, but now he is drawn to the Han army's white flag, and he automatically becomes Dorgon's direct confidant.

    ????? Dorgon left Shi Tingzhu in Shenyang to prevent chaos in the rear.

    ????? But Empress Dowager Da Yuer moved too quickly, and Shi Tingzhu didn't dare to use troops, so he could only bite the bullet and come to see him.

    ????? "The Empress Dowager has an edict, and Xuan Shi Tingzhu will see you!" the eunuch shouted at the top of his voice.

    ????? Shi Tingzhu followed the eunuch in, and Da Yuer was sitting on top with a serious expression, holding seven-year-old Fulin in his arms.  At the bottom of the side, there is a Hanchen sitting on the left and right. It is undoubtedly Fan Wencheng and Ning Wan.

    "Minister Shi Tingzhu, I greet Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager!" Shi Tingzhu immediately knelt down.

    ????? Fan Wencheng sneered: "When you see Your Majesty, don't you call yourself a slave? General Shi is a bit too far-fetched."

    ????? Ning Wan, I said in a strange way: "It is also possible that General Shi's master is not His Majesty."

    ????? Shi Tingzhu felt his scalp tingling, it was forcing him to stand in line.

    ????? Shi Tingzhu boldly said: "The Empress Dowager said, now that we have internal and external troubles in the Qing Dynasty, we must not mess up our own positions and destroy the Great Wall!"

    ????? After finishing Ning, I still said in a strange manner: "Who is the Great Wall? If it is Dorgon, then the Great Wall has been destroyed."

    ????Fan Wencheng said: "Does General Shi know? Feng Quan, Dorgon's favorite minister, conspired to join forces and wanted to dedicate this Shengjing to the Nanman court. If the general doesn't believe it, he can take a confession and question Feng Quan in person.  .”

    ? ???? stoneI can't afford it, half of the village's fields have returned to the Chen family"

    After talking about it, the farmers were quite angry, and they would starve to death if nothing happened.

    ????? Liaoyang has always been more developed than Shenyang. Why wasn't Nurhachi the capital of Liaoyang?  Liaoyang was supposed to be the capital, and the people of Liaoyang supported him very much.  But the Han people gradually discovered that the Tartars were worse than the Ming government, so there were frequent riots inside and outside the city.

    ????? Nurhachi finally understood that the development level of Liaoyang was too high, and there were too many Han people in Liaoyang, which could not be digested for a while.  So the capital was set in Shenyang, and I was ready to go back to my hometown at any time.

    ?????The peasant man pointed to the person next to him and said, "This is Mr. Li sent by Emperor Zhao of Nanjing. Let Mr. Li say a few words to everyone."

    Mr. Li's name is Li Maode, with a Northeast accent, he has been lurking in Liaodong for three years, and has successively developed offline in eight villages.

    ????Li Maode didn't talk about national righteousness, but told stories to the farmers: "You can know that the teacher of Emperor Zhao in Nanjing is named Pang, and he is a Han Chinese in Liaodong. Mr. Pang is the emperor's teacher, and now he is the prime minister.  But Mr. Pang also suffered a catastrophe back then. The Tartars killed him, and Mr. Pang’s family died tragically. Mr. Pang rolled down the cliff, his eyes were half blind, and his hair was gray all night. A man of thirty years old looks like fifty"

    ???? "Mr. Pang is determined to take revenge, not only to avenge his family, but also to avenge the Han people in Liaodong, so that the Han people in Liaodong can live a better life. Mr. Pang took in a student and taught them to read and fight. This student made  Against Ming’s rebellion, he became the emperor himself, that is, Emperor Zhao in Nanjing. Emperor Zhao is a student of our Liaodong Han people, so can we not respect our Liaodong Han people?”

    ????? "Let me tell you how Emperor Zhao became an emperor. He saw the hardships of the peasants, so he treated the peasants well and led them to kill the landlords and divide the land"

    ????? These Han peasants were fascinated by the stories.  Every time it was mentioned that Emperor Zhao helped the poor, the peasants clapped their hands and applauded, thinking that the emperor was really one of his own.

    ???? Li Maode finally said: "The Tartars were defeated in Yaozhou, and the Datong Army has already occupied Anshan, which is not far from our place. Fellow villagers, don't wait any longer. We will follow the example of Emperor Zhao and kill the landlord.  Divide the fields and start an incident!"

    ????? Everyone suddenly agreed.

    Holding hoes and sticks, they rushed into the Chen family's mansion, killed the landlord to open a warehouse to release grain, and quickly gathered hundreds of rebel troops.

    ????? Then, he went up the mountain to kill Zuyue Temple and killed more than ten monks including the abbot.  Continuing to open warehouses to release grain, many low-level monks joined the group, and immediately went out to find other landlords and Manchu farms.

    In more than half a month, the peasant uprising team grew to more than 3,000 people and swept the southern and western villages of Liaoyang.

    ????? Tianjin battlefield.

    ?????As Hauge moved his camp to the southwest of the city, the grain road in Tianjin City was cut off, and the Grand Canal was strangled by the Eight Banners Army.

    However, Fei Ruhe's army in the west of the city still has smooth access to food.

    ????? Hao Ge can't break it if he wants to, unless he can occupy the Triangle Lake.  The military rations in the direction of Baoding were transported from the Huitong River, and then transferred by small boats to the Sanjiao Lake. The shore was Fei Ruhe's camp.

    ????? Hauge made an appointment with Li Zicheng to attack, but he had to occupy a suitable terrain first.

    ?????The Eight Banners Army crossed the Grand Canal westward, and that area was the only place where they didn't have to cross the river to fight.  But the terrain is very narrow, further west there are Desheng Lake, Huoshao Lake, shallow lakes one after another, protecting Fei Ruhe's camp.  .  .

    ????"kill!"

    ?????The Eight Banners Army had just crossed the Grand Canal and set up camp, but was attacked that night.

    ?????Fei Ruhe sent an army, but the number was not many, only 2,000 people.  During the day, enter the Huitong River from Sanjiaodian Lake, quietly touch Deshengdian Lake to lurk, and then come out from the dense reeds at night.

    ????? "The savage is hateful!"

    ????? Although Haug suffered little loss, he was in a bad mood, feeling like he would be stabbed at any time.

    ????Man Dahai said: "The regent has been urging him to return to the army. The Nanmanzi have already taken down the Weining camp. I, Ama, can't sit still. I have led my troops back to help from Liaoyang. The situation of the regent in Yaozhou is very dangerous.  We should go back, the decisive battle across the river is too risky."

    "I can't withdraw, this time I withdraw, and I don't want to enter the customs again in the future," Hauge said, "Without Li Zicheng's cooperation, how can we fight the Nanmanzi?"

    ????Man Dahai sighed: "I went to see it myself this morning. The narrowest part of the Sanjiaodian Lake and the Grand Canal is only two miles away. The two miles were separated by several trenches dug by the Nanmanzi.  The earth excavated from each trench was built into low earthen walls. Our cavalry and chariots cannot pass through, and artillery is useless, so we have to use infantry to attack one by one."

    ?????The direction of Li Zicheng faces the same problem.

    Of course, Li Zicheng's combat area is slightly wider, because the narrowest point is three miles.  The same ditches and earthen walls must be captured by infantry.

    ????Fei Ruhe is a disgusting person, with Sanjiaodian in the north, the Grand Canal in the south, and ditches on the east and west sides.

    Fei Ruhe didn't care about Tianjin direction at all, and didn't even bother to send troops to scout.

    However, the direction of Bazhou and Baoding is completely controlled by Fei Ruhe, because there are lakes and rivers everywhere.

    ???? This kind of defensive battle, Li Zicheng and Hauge attacked across the Grand Canal, but it was the easiest way-even though Fei Ruhe had built many forts and temporary fortifications along the Grand Canal.

    ????Man Dahai said: "The Nanman camp must not be attacked by force. Even if it can be broken, more than half of the Eight Banners warriors will die. The only way is to go to Yuanjiakou. Li Zicheng said that the Nanman's army rations are there. Follow  Li Zicheng made good contact, he went around from the north, and we went through the gap between Sanjiaodian and Deshengdian. We and Li Zicheng, one south and one north, pinched Yuanjiakou, and lured Fei Ruhe out of the west of Tianjin! The grain storage area was besieged  , Fei Ruhe will never dare to stay in the tortoise shell again."

    "That's it!" Hauge agreed.

    ????? Li Zicheng also agreed, the attacking enemy must be rescued, and the trick to lure the snake out of the hole.

    Fei Ruhe knew immediately when the enemy moved.

    ????? In other words, Hauge and Li Zicheng did not intend to conceal their combat intentions.  This is a conspiracy. If you are hiding in a tortoise shell, we will definitely not be able to break into it.  Then I will go to surround your grain storage place and ask you if you are still out to fight.  It's just right if you don't come out, I'll burn your food and grass!

    Whether it is Li Zicheng or Hauge, after the battle plan is determined, they will move with the whole army.  They didn't dare to divide their troops to burn food, because Fei Ruhe's and Zhang Tieniu's troops stood guard there, and anyone who dared to divide their troops would be attacked by them.

    ????? After Dashun and Manqing Baying left, the city of Tianjin came alive immediately.

    Zhang Tieniu came out with his army, leaving only a few thousand farmers and soldiers to guard the city, and the main force went to the west of the city a few miles away to join forces with Fei Ruhe.

    ?????The battlefield shifted from Tianjin to Yuanjiakou at once.  Countless wars broke out in that broken place, because the geographical location is too critical.

    ????? Li Zicheng and Hauge's offensive route was to bypass the Datong Army from the north to the south, and attack Yuanjiakou in a pincer-shaped offensive.  The pincers are the strongest when they are closed, and the weakest when they are separated. On the day Zhang Tieniu led his troops out of the city, Fei Ruhe seized the opportunity to chase Li Zicheng.

    ????Because of Sanjiadian, Li Zicheng went farther, and the pliers had more chances to pull out.

    ?????Van Sitong's 16th Division, infantry and artillery remained.nbsp;????Wan Sitong, who was staying at the camp, received the news that the Manchu night attack troops were still more than two miles away from the trench outside the camp.

    "Don't light a fire, wake up the whole army, half go to the trench to ambush, and half defend the side of the canal." Wan Sitong was very cautious, fearing that the tartars would sneak around to the south to cross the river.

    ???? This decision was correct. The sentinels in the canal to the south also rowed back soon, saying that they also found traces of the Tartars there.

    ????? Hauge personally led the troops and crossed the river from the south to attack.  Man Dahai led the troops and came from the ditch in the west.

    Many Tartars rode war horses, each with a title, and the horses had their feet bound, trying not to make any noise.  When they got close, they were afraid of revealing their whereabouts, so the whole army got off their horses and touched them.

    ????? In the two-mile-wide trench position, Mandahai sent 1,200 warriors to try to occupy the first trench in the dark.  Once it succeeds, it proves that the enemy army is unprepared, and the follow-up troops will immediately rush out.

    ????? Man Dahai led the main force to wait patiently, and was soon overjoyed that they succeeded in sneak attacking.

    ????? "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

    ????? The Datong army in the first trench ran to the camp in panic, and then the second trench also shouted loudly.

    Some Eight Banners warriors lit torches, trying to rush through several trenches to light the innermost camp, causing even greater chaos to the Datong Army.

    ????"Army attack!"

    ????? Man Dahai knew it was done when he saw the torch, so he stopped to light the torch to prove that the Datong army defending the trench was collapsing.

    Haug on the south side of the canal, two miles away from the river bank, heard the shouts of killing and excitedly said: "Accelerate the march, cross the river and kill!"

    ?????A surprise attack at night, attacking from both sides, will definitely knock the turtle shell off!

    ????? (Thanks to the leader of Ziyi Zi for the reward, ashamed, there are not many updates.)

 Text 566 [Survival with Broken Arms and Centrifugal Virtue]

    "Rush over and light the tents everywhere!" Fei Yanggu shouted holding a torch.

    There are many Jurchens with the same name, and Fei Yanggu in front of him is not the younger brother of Concubine Dong E.  He is the son of Haana, the founder of the second leader of the inlaid red flag and the fourth leader of the leader. His father is Nurhachi's favorite general, and his mother is Nurhachi's niece.

    ????? Breaking through three ditches in a row and climbing over three low walls, the Eight Banners soldiers encountered only sporadic resistance, and the Datong Army all fled in panic and fired a single shot.

    ?????Fei Yanggu's blood was already boiling, and the feeling of fighting the Ming army finally came back at this moment!

    Some of the 1,200 night attack vanguards rushed to the fourth ditch, and some stopped to light torches with fire knives.  The fourth ditch was also easily breached, and the Eight Banners soldiers at the forefront had rushed to the fifth ditch.

    ????"ah!"

    ???? "My feet!"

    ????? The Eight Banners soldiers who rushed into the fifth ditch suddenly screamed again and again.  But the ditches and narrow passages are actually sprinkled with barbed caltrops, which can be pierced through with boots.  .  .

    ?????Fei Yanggu stopped quickly and shouted: "Take it away, take it away!"

    ????? There is a hole in the center of the caltrops, which are strung together with ropes for easy arrangement and removal.

    ?????The charge of the Eight Banners soldiers came to an abrupt end, and the follow-up soldiers caught up with torches, illuminating the trenches and clearing away the caltrops.  One collection is a bunch, concentrated codes are placed in several places, and wounded soldiers are left to guard each place, reminding the friendly troops behind not to step on it.

    In the sixth ditch, firewood has been piled up, and Datong soldiers are pouring oil on the firewood.

    ????Fei Yanggu crossed the low earth wall and led his troops to rush over. The Datong army hurriedly threw torches into the pile of firewood.  The firewood in the trench was ignited immediately, but the fire was relatively small, and the Eight Banners soldiers fled into the trench, stepping on the flames and continuing to rush forward.

    ???? "Bang bang bang!"

    ????? There is no ditch in front, but there is still an earthen wall. Datong soldiers lie behind the earthen wall and shoot freely.

    "There is an ambush, retreat quickly!" Fei Yanggu was shocked.

    The barbed wire and firewood from before may have been prepared long ago, and they were thrown into the trench temporarily in the event of a night attack.  But the firecrackers behind the earthen wall were obviously ready to fight, and they definitely didn't look like they were attacked at night.

    At this moment, the follow-up troops sent by Man Dahai, with a total of more than 3,000 people, are already close to the first trench.  They couldn't figure out what was going on, they only heard the sound of scattered firecrackers in front of them, thinking that the Datong Army was resisting in a corner, so they accelerated their speed and rushed in.

    ????? These two groups of Eight Banners soldiers met in the third ditch.

    ????? Fei Yanggu shouted: "Quickly withdraw, there is an ambush ahead!"

    ???? "Boom boom boom!"

    ???? The guns rang out suddenly, but they were shooting towards the other side of the river, where Hauge was trying to cross the river.

    Whether it is Mandahai attacking from the west or Haoge attacking from the south, they all reacted to the sound of guns and guns, and the positions of the Datong Army must have been prepared long ago.

    ????"woo woo woo woo!"

    ????? The horn sounded, and the two Tartar princes ordered to retreat at the same time.

    At this time, in the northwest of Mandahai, hundreds of Datong sailors rowed small boats, carrying more than a thousand Datong troops, and lit torches in the reeds.  Each person landed with four torches, and less than 2,000 people circled behind to attack, instantly creating a battle of nearly 10,000 people.

    ????? They planted their torches in the mud on the bank and shot at the main force of Mandahai from a distance.  The distance is too far to hit at all, it is purely to scare people.

    ????? Man Dahai was blowing the trumpet to withdraw his troops, when he suddenly came from behind, the Eight Banners soldiers were frightened out of their wits.

    "Go south and retreat along the Grand Canal!" Man Dahai was going to join forces with Hauge.

    Although he guessed that the Datong army was bluffing, Man Dahai didn't dare to bet at all. What if the main force of the Datong army didn't chase Li Zicheng, but came back quietly to ambush him?

    ?????The main force of Mandahai quickly withdrew southward, and the night attack force of more than 4,000 people was directly abandoned by the general.  This is survival by cutting off the wrists. If you wait for the whole army to gather before leaving, the main force is likely to be dumped!

    ????? A thousand or so soldiers of the same ranks gathered around to build momentum, and by the light of the torches, they reloaded their bombs slowly.

    ????? They waited for the main force of Mandahai to withdraw before heading towards the trench, blocking the retreat of the Manchu night attack troops.

    ????"kill!"

    The Datong army in the camp, stepping on temporary wooden planks, crossed the burning trench, chasing and killing the more than 4,000 enemy night attack troops.

    ?????About two hundred Eight Banners soldiers, unlucky enough to step on a barbed wire.  They couldn't run fast due to the pain, and were quickly overtaken by Datong soldiers, and they were stabbed to death without any resistance.

    ????? Fei Yanggu finally led his troopsDingguo and others received Badali together, and the two sides met in Yangcun.

    ????? Badari immediately got off his horse and knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Badali of the Horqin Department, kowtow to the great general of the Celestial Dynasty!"

    "Friends please, hahaha!" Fei Ruhe was overjoyed.

    ????? Fei Ruhe took Badali's hand, introduced several other generals, and asked casually, "Did you get bullied in the Qing Dynasty?"

    ????Badali stated: "When my father took refuge in the Puppet Qing Dynasty, he was named Tuxietu Khan by Nurhachi. When I succeeded to the throne, he was named Tuxie Tujinong (Deputy Khan) by Huang Taiji.  After three years of Jinong, he was demoted by Huang Taiji to Prince Tuxietu again!"

    ?????Fei Ruhe scolded immediately: "Huang Taiji is really nothing!"

    ????? From Tuxietu Khan, to Tuxietu Jinong, and then to Prince Tuxietu, the anger in Badalie's heart can be imagined!

    The Horqin Tribe originally joined the Chahar Tribe, and Badali’s father and grandfather both participated in the war against Nurhachi.  Later, through war, trade, marriage and diplomacy, Nurhachi won the Horqin tribe over, and fell out with the Chahar tribe ever since.

    Because of this, Badali's father, Oba, was named Tuxietu Khan by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and completely controlled the entire Horqin tribe.

    ????But after Auba's death, in the third year of Badalley's succession, Huang Taiji forcibly split the Horqin Department into six banners.  Badali's territory was divided into six, and several of his brothers took over one after another.

    ???? It's kind of like a twitter order, but it's gone too far, at least in Badalie's view.

    ?????Ba Dali led his troops to fall to the Datong Army. The news spread back quickly, which surprised Hauge and Man Dahai.

    "Let's run too." Dai Qin said.

    ????? Zuo Xiaocheng said: "Don't you turn your back and make meritorious service before the battle?"

    ???? Dai Qin said: "That's too dangerous, it's better to just throw it in."

    Ever since, the Chahar cavalry also abandoned their luggage and fled, following the example of Badalite, and went to Yangcun to join them.

    ???&lt;/div&gt

 Text 567 [Pursuit]

    ,

    Badali led his troops to surrender to the Datong Army, and the other leaders of the Horqin tribe were the most frightened.

    The strongest in the Horqin tribe is Manzhu Xili, the brothers of Hai Lanzhu and Dayuer.  This person's father, who had been with Badali's father at the beginning, made an appointment to fight Nurhachi together.  In the end, he lost the battle, and took the lead to seek refuge with the Houjin Tazi.

    In fact, it was Budaqi, who was Badali's uncle.  Huang Taiji set up a flag in Horqin, and Budaqi took advantage of the situation to become independent and no longer obeyed Badali's orders.

    And there is Hong Guoer, Hauge's father-in-law.  .

    These Horqin leaders are all beneficiaries of the Qing Dynasty.  They were afraid that Badali would use the Datong Army to lead troops back to the Horqin Grassland and swallow up their tribe and the grassland.

    "My lord, let's go north for a decisive battle!" Manzhu Xili said.

    He is Dayuer's brother, and he has long been tied to Man Qing, so it is absolutely impossible for him to rebel.

    Hong Guoer also said to his son-in-law Hauge: "My lord, Badali is ambitious. If he doesn't kill him this time, when he returns to the grassland, he will definitely mess up Horqin!"

    "My lord"

    "My lord"

    Leaders of the Horqin tribe, what you said and what I said made Hauge's head hurt.

    Finally, Haug spoke: "Withdraw the troops!"

    "My lord, you can't withdraw!"

    The leaders of the Horqin Tribe turned pale with fright. They were unwilling to fight before, and they were more or less lazy in secret.  But after Badali defected, they wanted to fight the most, and they had to kill Badali.

    "Withdraw the troops!" Hauge resolutely said, "After you withdraw to Shanhaiguan, return to Horqin immediately, and divide the troops of Badali and the grassland."

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, merging tribes and grasslands is useful, and Badali led the troops to kill them all and they were all finished.

    Everyone knows that the Manchu Qing Dynasty is on its last legs. If the Badalites are killed, even if the Manchu Qing Dynasty perishes, they will still lead the people to surrender to the Datong court.  But if Badali is still alive, he will end up with endless death.

    But Hauge had no choice but to withdraw his troops. He had discussed with Man Dahai and had already analyzed and understood the current situation.

    The Datong Army's ability to scatter so many cavalry in Yangcun can only prove one thing, Li Zicheng was either wiped out, or he ran away with his troops.  Only when there is no enemy behind them, can the Datong Army dare to dispatch cavalry to cover the southern battlefield with all its strength.

    Li Zicheng was unwilling to fight the Datong army alone, and Hauge and Man Dahai were also unwilling.

    On that day, all the Manchu and Qing cavalry came out and wandered between Yangcun and Dingzigu, pretending to control the battlefield.  After a fight, the cavalry of both sides suffered casualties. The Datong Army killed and injured more than 300 people, while the Manchu Qing cavalry killed and injured more than 1,000 people.

    In the evening, the cavalry took back, and immediately broke out of the camp and left at night.  Moreover, the whole army ran very fast, and all the extra civilians were gone. By the next afternoon, they were close to Lutai (Ninghe District).

    On the side of the Datong Army, Fei Ruhe handed over all the cavalry to Li Dingguo's command. A total of more than 15,000 cavalry chased after them, including the surrendered Chahar and Horqin Mongolian cavalry.

    The infantry was divided into two, and part of them returned to Tianjin to guard against Li Zicheng's main force coming back.  Some followed the cavalry, waited for the cavalry to bite the Eight Banners Army, and then calmly went to fight a decisive battle.

    "Da da da da"

    With the sound of rumbling horseshoes, 15,000 cavalry came overwhelmingly.

    Man Dahai said: "Laosa, you go!"

    Guarja Rausa is a fierce general, brave and good at fighting. He was selected as Kara Yizhangjing (the commander of the striker), and has now been promoted to Melezhangjing (the deputy capital commander).

    This guy specializes in fighting tough battles. He fought against Hong Chengchou in history, and died because he rushed too hard and fell into the battle.

    "My lord, make sure to bring back the head of the barbarian general!" Lausa got off his horse and knelt down, and led the cavalry out.

    There are many cavalry in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, mixed with a large number of mounted infantry.  In addition to the Mongolian cavalry accompanying the army, there were more than 20,000 people, and they were divided into five teams and rushed towards the Datong cavalry.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The Datong Dragoons don't talk about martial arts, they shoot from a long distance, and then run away immediately.

    After switching to the flintlock gun, the dragoons didn't even bother to dismount.  Shoot the gun on horseback, run on the horse, stop, and then reload the ammunition on horseback.

    With tens of thousands of soldiers, Yuan Shizhong, who surrendered to the Datong Army in Henan.  At this time, he has been promoted to the commander of the cavalry battalion. Although there are only 500 people under his command, their combat effectiveness is stronger than the tens of thousands he had before.

    The cavalry on both sides dispersed and spread across the vast wilderness.

    After Yuan Shizhong fired a shot, regardless of whether he hit or not, he led his cavalry battalion to flee for four or five miles.  He didn't order to reload the ammunition until the Manchu cavalry were thrown away, and then he rode his horse towards the enemy.?, stop and rest far away.

    They didn't bring much food and used up more than half of their ammunition, so they could only kill with knives if they fought for another day.

    On the third day, they fought for another half day, killing more than 1,000 Tartars and killing more than 200 themselves.  But the ammunition was exhausted, and the food was almost finished. He tried to attack at night and was found, so he could only return to Tianjin in resentment.

    Fei Ruhe stayed in Tianjin to sit in town by himself, Zhang Tieniu had led his troops to chase after him, Li Dingguo's cavalry got supplies halfway, and then broke away from the main force to catch up.

    When the main forces of the two sides met again, the Manchu and Qing troops had withdrawn to Luanzhou, only 180 miles away from Shanhaiguan.

    "Da da da da!"

    ? A fast horse came from Shanhaiguan, only to say that he had an important military situation to see Hauge.

    Hauge opened the letter and was dumbfounded: Yaozhou was defeated, the two white flags were almost destroyed, and the two yellow flags suffered heavy losses.  Yaozhou was lost, Haizhou was lost, Anshan was lost, and Weining Camp was lost.

    Haoge found Man Dahai and handed over the military letter.

    Man Dahai looked at it and was speechless for a long time.

    After some discussion, Man Dahai said: "We can't delay, otherwise the southern barbarians in Liaodong will definitely block the Liaoxi passage, and tens of thousands of us will not be able to go back. Let's go tonight, abandon the people and luggage, and only let  Soldiers carry food for several days with them.?

 Text 568 [Deserters]

    ,

    "The Tartars are running!"

    "Haven't you been running?"

    "Run north!"

    "Chase!"

    Luanzhou was also one of the grain and grass transfer stations of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and many small boats were hoarded and built.

    Hao Ge and Man Dahai did not continue to go to Shanhaiguan.  .  .  Because the Liaoxi Corridor is in the rainy season, the speed of going back to Liaodong through Shanhaiguan is very slow, and it is easy to be blocked by Li Zheng, Hu Dinggui and others.

    Therefore, the Tartars abandoned tens of thousands of civilian husbands and a large amount of luggage that was difficult to take away.  The infantry took boats up the Luanhe River and its tributaries to Lulongousse, while the cavalry marched along the banks of the river.

    The withdrawal route changed by the Tartars is exactly the route Cao Cao used in his expedition to Wuhuan!

    Some Datong cavalry had already detoured and crossed the river, and went to Shanhaiguan to intercept.  Hao Ge and Man Dahai suddenly changed, which disrupted Zhang Tieniu's arrangement, and nearly ten thousand Datong cavalry were waiting for the air in front.

    "Infantry cross the river, dragoons shoot along the river!" Zhang Tieniu ordered.

    It was already midnight, the soldiers on both sides were exhausted, and there were torches everywhere on both sides of the Luan River.

    The Datong soldiers tried to cross the river, but were attacked by the troops behind the Manchu Palace.  In desperation, they had to go south for a few miles and cross the river on simple tools such as wooden boards.

    Tens of thousands of civilians, abandoned by the Tartars, are fleeing in all directions.

    There are three thousand troops in the rear of the Tartars, all of whom are elite infantry.  First, they prevented the Datong soldiers from crossing the river, and after the Datong soldiers detoured, these Tazi soldiers retreated to Luanzhou City.

    For a while, Zhang Tieniu had difficulty conquering Luanzhou, so he had to send troops to gather the civilian husbands who had been abandoned by the Tartars.

    At the same time, 5,000 soldiers were sent to block the north of Luanzhou City. Zhang Tieniu led the main force of the infantry and continued northward to chase the main force of the Tartars.  After all this tossing, Hauge had led his army to retreat northward for more than ten miles.

    As for the thousands of Datong dragoons, they chased and killed along the west bank of the Luan River, constantly shooting at the boats in the river.

    "Get off your horse and shoot more accurately, and aim at the Tartar boat!" Huang Fei ordered.

    It was pitch black in the middle of the night, and the boats in the river were not lit, so they could only aim at the black shadows and shoot.

    Yuan Shizhong stood on the bank, stuck the torch in the mud, aimed at the black shadow in the river and shot.  With the light of the torch, he quickly reloaded the ammunition, rode forward, aimed at the shadow in the river and shot again.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    Not only the dragoons were firing, but the Tartar musketeers on the ship, as well as the Tartar archers, were also firing at the dragoons on the shore.

    Finally, the small boat on which the Tartars were riding lit up one after another, but it was the firecrackers who needed to reload their bombs.

    In the darkness, they didn't know each other's casualties at all.  But the Tartar's hit rate must be lower, because the boat swayed badly and was still sailing, while the Datong Dragoons fired from the ground.

    Has been chasing and killing from midnight to dawn, and finally can see the situation clearly.

    There are hundreds of small boats of the Tartars, some of which carry six or seven people, and some of which carry one or two people. The small number of people is to make room for loading luggage.

    More Tartar infantry, trotting along the river bank, took off their armor and put them on the boat.

    Under the command of Li Dingguo, the dragoons stopped paying attention to the enemies in the river, and accelerated their march towards the north, intending to cross the river further north to intercept the Tartars.

    As soon as Li Dingguo moved, Lausa also moved, leading the Tartar cavalry and chasing Li Dingguo across the river. Anyway, the dragoons were not allowed to cross the river.

    "My lord, there are a large number of deserters in the Wuzhenchao Ha camp!" Shang Kexi came to report on horseback.

    Hauge's idea is very good, everything is considered, but the morale of the troops is ignored.

    Kong Youde and the gratifying Wuzhenchao Haying are all Han soldiers.  The veterans in Dongjiang Town have been promoted to officers long ago, and ordinary soldiers are all added later.  Some were transformed from the Ming army in western Liaoning before the Tartars entered the customs; some were simply supplemented by Han soldiers in Shanshan and Hebei after entering the customs.

    In order to quickly withdraw his troops, Hauge let the soldiers take off their armor and run away, completely losing their organizational system on the east bank of the Luan River.

    Ever since, a large number of Han soldiers took the opportunity to escape.  They knew that Manqing was about to end, and they didn't want to perish with Manqing. Now they escaped and still had a chance to survive.

    "Da da da da!"

    A few more generals came on horseback one after another, and the content of the report was similar: "My lord, the banner of the Han army under my command is fleeing!"

    On the east bank of the Luan River, the Tazi soldiers were stretched and scattered for several miles.  Many Han soldiers deliberately slowed down, and faced the urging of the officers, they said that they could not run anymore.

    ? Even if you kill chickens and monkeys and cut off a few heads, it will only have a short-term effect, and you can move on for a while.?He disappeared without a trace.

    So far, the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still 50 miles away from the Great Wall.  However, due to deserters and civil strife in Mongolia, its total strength was less than 30,000, and everyone was panicked.

    Li Dingguo has successfully crossed the Luan River and is continuing to march northward, intending to cross the Qinglong River again and go around the direction of the Great Wall to intercept the Qing army.  Another group of Datong dragoons was coming from the direction of Shanhaiguan, and they also went straight to several entrances of the Great Wall.

    Zhang Tieniu led the main force of the infantry. Due to the lack of ships, the whole army wore armor, and it was still more than ten miles away from Lulong County.

    Hauge and Man Dahai faced each other silently, neither knowing what to say.

    The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and the Han army flag and Mongolian cavalry fled, making Hauge's withdrawal into a joke.

    Man Dahai said: "I don't care about the infantry anymore, those who can ride horses go immediately. As for the soldiers without horses, how much they can escape back depends on their own luck."

    Haug said: "Some Manchurian warriors have no horses, and some Han soldiers have horses. Do you want to let the Manchurian warriors ride all the horses of the Han army?"

    "good!"

    Man Dahai nodded and said: "Even if these Han soldiers return to Liaodong, they may cause trouble at any time. It is better to keep them here in the rear. If one more Manchurian warrior escapes, we will be more stable in Liaodong."

    Kong Youde, Shang Kexi and other traitors were immediately called to discuss matters.

    Then, all the Han soldiers and horses under their command who hadn't fled were taken away by the opportunity.  These traitors were ordered to stay in the rear.

    As for the fact that they were really queens, they still took the opportunity to escape, Hauge couldn't control it anymore.

 Text 569【All abandoned sons】

    ,

    There are only more than 4,000 Han soldiers in the Manchu Qing army who have not escaped, and most of them belong to the hardcore traitors-those with vested interests.

    There are also a small number of people who are reluctant to part with their wives and children in Liaodong, and want to go home with the Tartars for reunion.  .  .

    At this moment, watching the withdrawal of the Manchurian and Mongolian banners, and the departure of the Mongols and Jurchens in the Han army banners, these Han soldiers were completely desperate.

    The proportion of firearms in the Han soldiers was relatively high, and Hauge even took their firearms away.

    A true abandoned son, and ruthless, he doesn't even bother to act!

    "Run away." Kong Youde said.

    Shang Kexi asked: "Where can I escape?"

    Once upon a time, they were cornered in the Ming Dynasty, and now they are cornered in the Qing Dynasty.

    Kong Youde said: "Go to the Mongolian grassland. In the Qing Dynasty the Tartars divided the grassland and ruled it. Once the Tartars decline and are scattered into countless pieces of Mongolia, it will soon be chaotic. Let's find a Mongolian tribe to join and help  There must be a place for them to fight.”

    "That's the only way to go, if you want to go, go quickly!" Shang Kexi agreed.

    The two went to discuss with other traitors, and soon reached an agreement, and told the soldiers to go to the Mongolian grassland.

    To the north of them was the main force of the Qing Dynasty, and behind them were Zhang Tieniu's pursuers.  In the northeast and northwest, there were Datong cavalry who went around to cut off the back road of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

    Kong Youde decided to cross the river immediately, head towards Beijing, then go north to Jizhou on the way, and go to the grassland from Xifengkou of the Great Wall.

    "Da da da!"

    More than a dozen Datong cavalry rushed over and stood on the other side of the river watching them. They were sentry cavalry who stayed to observe the enemy's situation.

    Just as they were halfway across, the dragoons shot into the river.

    Sporadic gunshots rang out, and more than half of the more than 4,000 Han Army Eight Banners collapsed in an instant.  Their morale has dropped to zero, and if there is a slight disturbance, they will flee in all directions.

    Kong Youde had no choice but to give up crossing the river, gathered the rout troops all the way, and fled towards the mountainous area to the southeast.

    Those dozen or so dragoons swam across on their stomachs on their horses, always chasing after them.

    Kong Youde and Shang Kexi ordered to form a defensive formation, and the dragoons immediately stopped and shot at the enemy from a distance.

    After every burst of gunfire, the troops under Kong Youde and Shang Kexi's command would break up and run away indiscriminately.  When Kong and Shang fled into the mountains, there were only a few hundred people around them.  After resting for a while, the shock was still there, and he went out of the mountain again and continued to run eastward.

    Twenty miles to the east, there is another mountain range, which is the real mountain. These traitors can't go north to Mongolia, they can only become bandits in the mountains.

    The southernmost tip of that mountain range is Jieshi Mountain where Cao Cao watched the sea.

    Jieshi Mountain could see the sea at the end of the Han Dynasty, but now it is twenty miles away from the sea.  Even the Liaoxi Corridor, where the Tartars have been attacking for more than 20 years, had only one channel facing the sea at the end of the Han Dynasty, and now it has formed a seaside flat land with a width of more than ten miles.

    Ye Kui joined the army very late, just a cavalry captain.

    He allocated half of the cavalry to capture those routs, and waited for Zhang Tieniu to receive them.  Several Datong cavalry captured more than 2,000 people one after another. These prisoners cooperated very well and went to squat outside Lulong County honestly.

    The remaining half of the cavalry, a total of eight cavalry, led their horses into the mountain and continued to pursue.

    After chasing into the mountains, and chasing out of the mountains, Kong Youde and Shang Kexi's last few hundred confidants were crushed by these eight cavalrymen.

    Finally, the whole army collapsed.

    "Kill the enemy!" Ye Kui put away the fire blunderbuss, drew out his waist knife and led the soldiers to charge.

    Shang Kexi's eldest son, Shang Zhixin, was only nine years old at the time and was still playing with mud in Liaodong.  Otherwise, there will probably be a scene of fatherly kindness and son filial piety. In history, fathers were imprisoned to death.

    "Too much deception!"

    Shang Kexi drew his sword, turned around, and rushed towards the dragoons.

    Ye Kui rode his horse and dragged his knife past, but Shang Kexi raised his knife to block it.  Another cavalryman also dragged his knife and slashed at Shang Kexi's neck.  Shang Kexi dodged in a hurry, and a hole was dragged out of his neck.  The third cavalryman came again and slashed Shang Kexi's face.

    Shang Kexi's face was covered with blood, and he still raised his sword to fight, but all the dragoons rushed over, hacking and killing those rout soldiers who did not surrender.

    In the end of the road, Shang Kexi slayed himself with a knife. This big traitor died inconspicuously.

    Kong Youde did not resist, but begged for mercy on his knees, and shouted: "I am willing to surrender, I am willing to surrender, don't kill me!"

    The Datong cavalry no longer cared about him, and continued to chase and kill the routs, chasing as long as they were still fleeing, and letting go of those who knelt down and begged for mercy

    But said Hao"People should be damned!"  "

    Li Dingguo did not fight in person, but took a binoculars to observe the battle situation.

    He quickly noticed the behavior of the Horqin cavalry, frowned and said, "Go and send an order to that Badali that the Tartars who surrendered should not be killed again. There are many mines in Liaodong, and even this Hebei, Zunhua Iron Mine also needs people. Send them to  It’s good to mine, it’s not worth killing them all.”

    The siege and pursuit operation lasted for three full hours.

    Probably more than 4,000 Tartars drowned in the river, and more than 3,000 Tartars were beheaded.  The remaining 6,000 Tartars were all captured, and only a few managed to escape.

    Now in the entire Qing Dynasty, counting the troops brought back by Hauge, there are less than 40,000 people left.  Half of them have lost their armor, and at most they can wear leather armor on the battlefield.

    The decline of the Tartars is doomed, and there are signs of chaos in the grassland.

    However, if we want to completely destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty, we have to wait until after the Liaodong rainy season.  By that time, it is estimated that the Datong Army has not yet dispatched troops, and the entire Mongolian tribes in northwestern Liaoning will all declare rebellion against the Qing Dynasty.

    The Mongols there were originally defeated by the Jurchens!

    Zhang Tieniu took the prisoners back, and when he was halfway there, he received a battle report from Fei Ruhe: "Li Zicheng withdrew his troops, and the Datong Army has recovered Beijing."

    Li Zicheng didn't want to withdraw at all, but the news from the rear scared him to lead his troops back to Shanxi quickly——Shaanxi and Gansu were lost.

 Text 570 [I can’t run away after all]

    Anshan.

    The rainy season was not over yet, and the Datong Army did not attack Liaoyang, but only instigated peasant uprisings in the countryside.  .  .

    At the military meeting, Li Zheng said with a smile: "We must not forget our old line of business. Liaoyang, Shenyang, Fushun, Tieling, Kaiyuan, these places have many Han peasants. Since the Tartars are defending the city, they will mobilize  Farmers, kill the landlords and bannermen, and occupy all the land under the city. As long as the Tartars dare to leave the city, we will look for an opportunity to wipe them out. If the Tartars do not leave the city, they will starve to death in the city, anyway, they are not allowed to go into the city  sell things!"

    "This trick is really good." Lu Xiangsheng nodded.

    "Haha," Xiao Zongxian laughed immediately, "General Lu didn't know that His Majesty used this method to deal with the Ming government when he raised troops in Jiangxi. At that time, the city belonged to the government, and all the countryside belonged to our Datong army."

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "Then leave 20,000 people to fight for the peasants' uprising. The rest of the troops will go to occupy the west of Liaoning. Open up from Haizhou to Shanhaiguan. If the Hauge army is not destroyed, maybe it can be blocked. But then  Send a cavalry to deter the grasslands in the northwestern part of Liaoning, and induce those Mongolian tribes to rebel."

    "This plan is very good." Li Zheng nodded in agreement.

    "I'll take people to the grassland!" Wang Tingchen called for a fight immediately.

    Taking advantage of the rare weather, the Datong Army began to divide its troops.

    10,000 people stayed in Anshan, and 10,000 people stayed in Weiningying, watching Liaoyang from the east and west, and supporting the peasants to occupy the villages and towns in Liaoyang.

    In other places, there may be good landlords.

    But in Liaodong ruled by the Tartars, there would be no wrongdoing if all the landlords were killed, just let the peasants feel free.

    Xiao Zongxian and Hu Dinggui led troops to western Liaoning, Xining Fort, Xiping Fort, Zhenning Fort, Pingyang Bridge Fort all the way to Yizhou, these cities and fortresses were all empty.  The Tartars abandoned the Han people and serfs, crossed the Great Wall with their goods, and all migrated to Shenyang.

    Hu Dinggui went straight to the Xiaoling River, and the two castles were also deserted, only a group of Han people who had been robbed of their property remained.

    The two met outside the city of Jinzhou. Xiao Zongxian said: "Within the Great Wall, all the Tartars have fled. I asked the Han people along the way. The Tartars crossed the Great Wall and walked over the Great Wall. It should be from the northern grassland to Shenyang."

    "It's the same here, I don't see Tartars at all." Hu Dinggui said.

    The Liaoxi Corridor was abandoned by the Tartars!

    The fall of Haizhou means that western Liaoning is cut off. It is impossible for the Tartars to occupy there for a long time, so they chose to withdraw as soon as possible.  They just took away the coats, and they didn't even bother to plunder the Han people, because the food could not feed so many serfs.

    ?The gate of Jinzhou City, which has been repeatedly contested for decades, is now open to the Datong Army Cave.

    Hu Dinggui entered on horseback, as if he had come to a ghost town.  The street was in a mess, and no one could be seen at all.  Only a few Han people hid in their houses and watched secretly. They were robbed once by the Tartars, and they were afraid of being looted by the Datong army again.

    Xiao Zongxian led his troops straight to Ningyuan, the situation was the same, all the Tartars in the city ran away.

    Just when the two of them were depressed, Wang Tingchen who led the cavalry to the grassland was like winning the lottery jackpot.

    After crossing the Great Wall, those Tartars in the Liaoxi Corridor headed for Shenyang along the edge of the grassland.  Wang Tingchen's cavalry division also patrolled the edge of the grassland, seeing groups of Tartars almost every day.

    "General, there are Tartars ahead!"

    "Kill it!"

    The cavalry division was divided into two and wandered on the edge of the grassland. At this moment, more than 4,000 people rushed out.

    But the Tartars in front came from Yizhou.  There are only fifty regular Eight Banners soldiers, plus a thousand banner troops, and the rest are all Tartar civilians.

    "Run, the barbarians are coming!"

    The Tartars panicked and did not run north, because the north was full of grasslands, and it was impossible to run past the cavalry.  They abandoned their belongings and fled south into the mountains, maybe there is still a way out.

    "Forgive me, forgive me!"

    The Han people, Baoyi, did not escape, and they all knelt down and begged for mercy.

    The Datong cavalry galloped with swords drawn, reaping their lives along the way until no Tartar escaped.

    "Teacher, there are more than 1,800 prisoners, hundreds of them are coated." The law enforcement officer rushed over and said.

    Wang Tingchen said: "Choose a hundred Tartar prisoners, let Baoyi stab them twice, and then let Baoyi take the captured luggage across the Great Wall to Yizhou City."

    Wang Tingchen's cavalry division came to the grassland for a stroll, and originally had no logistics supplies, but the Tartars who moved from western Liaoning became his supply team instead.

    There are quite a few such supply teams along the way, waiting for Wang Tingchen to receive them

    Hauge and ?No, they're standing in front of us, so we don't even want to go back to Shengjing.  "

    Man Dahai said: "Our entire army has no armor, and we are not afraid of their firecrackers. Once the battle starts, the whole army will charge regardless. As long as we get close, we will not be afraid of the southern barbarians' firecrackers."

    Hauge picked up the binoculars and asked doubtfully, "Why are these Southern barbarian cavalry a little different?"

    Man Dahai also held up the binoculars, observed for a while and said: "These are the cavalry of the southern barbarians, not the dragon cavalry. Some wear cotton armor, and some have iron armor on the chest. It's very strange. Let's send three thousand cavalry first."  Let’s try it out, and let’s talk about the enemy’s style of play.”

    The cavalry on both sides gradually spread out, and this place belongs to the hilly area.

    There are many mountains, but not high, and many hillsides can be ridden on horseback.  The respective cavalry are divided into teams of two or three thousand people, and the cavalry formation is deployed as much as possible.

    Three thousand Tartar cavalry stepped forward, and the rest spread out to occupy the nearby hillside, intending to condescend and charge at any time.

    Datong cavalry went to fight, but there were only 3000 people.  All of them wear breastplates, and are all clothed from the waist down, and the horses are not very strong.

    The Tartar cavalry also wanted to try out archery and formed a loose formation of traditional cavalry.

    However, the Datong cavalry gathered more and more together, cavalry next to cavalry, and war horses next to war horses.

    Man Dahai said with a smile: "These southern barbarians, apart from firing guns on horseback, probably don't even know how to fight on horseback. The formation is so tight, once someone falls off the horse, they will immediately fall into chaos."

    The cavalry sent by the two sides to fight has gradually approached, and the scene made Hauge feel very strange.

    The spear is raised, the horse speeds up, Datong cavalry, wall charge.

 Text 571 [Cavalry War]

    The general who led 3,000 Datong cavalry to charge the wall was the notorious "horse kite" and "living Lu Bu" Wang Fuchen in history.

    This person was born as a bandit in Shanxi Province. He likes to gamble and often loses like a pair of pants.  .  .

    Facing the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers, he first took refuge in Jiang Guan, and then surrendered to the Manchu Qing with Jiang Guan.  Then, Jiang Guan rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, Wang Fuchen was defeated and surrendered to Azig, and became Xin Zheku's coated slave.  Because of Kong Wu's power and might, he was promoted by Shunzhi to be the first-class bodyguard, and then to be the chief soldier of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    Following Wu Sangui into Burma, he captured Emperor Yongli of the Southern Ming Dynasty and was transferred to be the admiral of Shaanxi.

    ?Wu Sangui rebelled, Wang Fuchen first helped the Manchus, then took refuge in Wu Sangui, and then chose to surrender to the Qing again.

    Lu Bu was just a family slave with three surnames, and Wang Fuchen jumped six or seven times!

    Shunzhi's evaluation of him is: He who has heard of horse kites is a warrior.  I don't know where it is now, so I can use it for my own sake.

    Kangxi's evaluation of him is: If there are military officials like this, why should I worry about my recovery?

    This guy is not only tall and mighty, but also handsome.  His complexion is fair, his eyebrows are like lying silkworms, like a portrait of Lu Bu handed down from generation to generation.

    ? According to historical records: Bravely crowning the three armies, you can't do what you want As a man, he respects things, trusts friends, treats others leniently, and treats subordinates strictly.  However, meritorious service must be rewarded. Although strict, scholars are happy to use it.

    Wang Fuchen followed Jiang Yu to submit to him. At that time, he was inconspicuous. He was just a middle-level officer who voted over, and he could not be compared with Huang Fei, Yuan Shizhong and others at all.

    ?But this person is really excellent, he will come up with things, he will follow his words, he will abide by military discipline, unite his comrades, and he will be the champion of the three armies.

    Even actively learning cultural knowledge, the speed of character recognition is very fast, and I can learn more than a thousand characters in a year, and I can learn several on average every day.

    All the way to promotion, smooth sailing!

    Just like in history, the promotion speed is very fast, from a slave to a first-class bodyguard, and then quickly promoted to the chief soldier.  At this time, Wang Fuchen had been promoted from a soldier to a cavalry commander.

    "Da da da!"

    Wang Fuchen held his spear straight, looked at the Tartars in front of him, and led his troops to rush forward without hesitation.

    Once the wall charge starts, the general will lose the ability to command troops.  Because the crowd was too dense, it was impossible to change formations. Even if there was a cliff in front of them, they could only bite the bullet and rush over.

    The general of the Qing army is Nikan, the grandson of Nurhachi.

    Nikan met Li Dingguo a few years ago, and was killed and fled.  Now not only is he living well, but he has also been promoted to be the king of the county.

    He rode his horse and ran for dozens of steps, intending to get close to the archery, and first wrestled with the Datong cavalry to figure out the tactics of this strange cavalry.

    However, the closer the two armies got, the more uncomfortable Nikan felt.

    With such a dense formation of cavalry, the Nanmanzi are not fully armored, so it is obvious that they will be shot at as targets.  But why don't they disperse?  Why don't they disperse, are they fools?

    When the distance between the two sides was thirty steps, Nikan put the arrow on the bowstring, and only released the arrow after entering the range.  But suddenly he didn't dare to wait anymore, he shot the arrows indiscriminately, and shouted at the orderly: "Scatter to both sides!"

    Without Nikan's order, the Manchu and Qing cavalry fled spontaneously.

    At such a short distance, the Datong cavalry is actually charging faster, and the Tartar cavalry knows what this means.

    It means that if they dare to shoot arrows after entering the range, they will be hit by the cavalry wall in an instant.  At that time, no matter who wins or loses, there will be a large-scale car accident scene, and who can survive the car accident depends entirely on God's will—Imagine, treating cavalry as motorcycles, thousands of motorcycles lined up, all speeding up and hitting you  .

    "Accelerate, accelerate!"

    Wang Fuchen roared and shouted, and the spurs on his heels kept galloping his horse.

    Man Dahai stood on the hillside, watching the scene with binoculars, his whole person was already in a state of bewilderment.

    How can riding a battle be fought like this?

    If both sides charge intensively, isn't that a collective death?  All the cavalry in the front row must be killed!

    Although the formation of the 3,000 Manchu Qing cavalry was loose, it would take time to temporarily change formations and avoid them.  However, under the frantic acceleration of the Datong cavalry, the cavalry wall was crushed in a blink of an eye. The situation can be described as devastated.

    Of course, the Datong cavalry was also knocked over a lot.

    Fortunately, after the two sides approached, the horses of the Datong cavalry slowed down automatically out of instinct, and the momentum of the high-speed charge naturally slowed down.

    "Scatter to kill the enemy, hahaha!"

    Wang Fuchen felt that such a charge was exciting, and he had practiced it countless times, but this was the first time it was used in actual combat.

    The Manchu and Qing cavalry are not considered to be fleeing, but they are indeed fleeing, mainly to avoid the cavalry wallThe army passed by by mistake, each slowed down and turned around.  Many of the Datong cavalry were injured, but less than 20% were killed in battle, while 40% of the Manchu cavalry were directly killed.

    "Come again!"

    Wang Tingchen shouted.

    This time, Hauge spotted Wang Tingchen, hit more with less, charged desperately, and he himself rushed towards Wang Tingchen with all his strength.

    The two fired their guns almost at the same time, dodging each other.

    But there were more cavalrymen in Datong. Wang Tingchen stabbed in the air, but the cavalry of Datong on the other side stabbed Hauge's horse under his crotch.

    "Hiss!"

    The war horse screamed, raised its hooves, and threw Hauge off the horse's back.

    "Hurry up and save the prince!"

    Hauge's soldiers reined in their horses one after another, trying to rescue him, but the Datong cavalry took the opportunity to charge again.

    Wang Tingchen stabbed out with a spear, and overturned one of Hauge's personal soldiers.  The rest of the soldiers were also killed by their subordinates, and they turned their horses to look, but they saw Hauge's dead body lying on the ground, and no one knew whose horse had trampled him to death.

    Wang Yaochen, who was chasing Man Dahai, came back and said annoyedly: "After the bandit general divided his troops, he ran away with dozens of soldiers!"

    "Don't be afraid, haha," Wang Tingchen laughed, "These are Tartars who came back from Hebei. They are so embarrassed that they don't even have the armor. It is obvious that Lord Fei won. Even if they can escape hundreds of horses and go back, the Tartars  The elite is also lost, at most next year we will be able to recover the entire Liaodong."

    On the other side of the main battlefield, the Manchu warrior Lausa was still fighting with eight wounds, and the cavalry around him were almost dead.

    The Datong cavalry surrounded the dozen or so cavalry, just watching.

    Lauza roared: "Kill again!"

    The Datong Xiao cavalry took out their bows and arrows, and hundreds of people shot at a dozen Manchu cavalry.

    Lauza shut up and instantly turned into a hedgehog.

 Text 572【Bad bones】

    ?Mao Pijiang and Wu Weiye couldn't bear to be officials, they hang out in Susongchang Lake for a long time, and they can live comfortably all day long in the mountains and rivers.

    Along with the interest of mountains and rivers, a group of excellent poems came out, making them more famous.  .  .

    Wu Weiye's "Meicun Style" took shape ahead of time. It developed from Bai Juyi's "Changqing Style" and incorporated Li Shangyin's style.  It pays attention to rhythm, likes to use allusions, has ups and downs in structure, colorful rhetoric, is mainly narrative, and often responds to and criticizes real problems.

    Earlier this year, Wu Weiye wrote a song "Jiangzuo Song", which aroused enthusiastic responses in the Jiangnan area.

    The cause was the third clan division triggered by the Quzhou case, and a large number of Jiangnan clans were forcibly split.  The imperial court took back the land of these big families without giving any compensation, and forced the children of the big families to move to Henan and Shandong to register and divide the land.

    ?The imperial court issued an order, and local officials did not dare to neglect it. The specific implementation would inevitably appear rough, and it also caused many contradictions and tragedies.

    Wu Weiye's "Jiangzuo Song" describes a love story.  A man and a woman from the wrong family, because of mutual admiration, finally made a marriage contract after going through hardships, and got the approval of both parents.  The government suddenly wanted to move the clans, and the local officials took the opportunity to occupy the man's family property.  The man quarreled with the government, was thrown into prison, and exiled to Taiwan for disobeying the emperor's orders.

    The woman escaped from her home and went to Yangzhou, the provincial capital, to appeal for grievances. The Yangzhou judicial office refused to accept the complaint and asked the woman to go back to Suzhou to file a lawsuit.  The woman returned to Suzhou, but failed to sue. In order to attract attention, she wanted to bump her head to death outside the big court.  Fortunately, she was rescued in time, and she did not die, but her family was ashamed, after all, she hadn't been married yet.

    This story was not made up by Wu Weiye, but a real case that actually happened.

    Inspectors of integrity began to pay attention to this case when the woman hit the wall and committed suicide.  Until Wu Weiye's "Jiangzuo Song" came out, the investigation of the case was just over, and the officials who took the opportunity to seize the property of the rich were executed, and the officials of the judicial and anti-corruption departments who took the corpse as a vegetarian meal were dismissed from their posts.

    It is obvious that the inspectors of the clean government are doing their duty and eliminating harm for the people, but the timing is too coincidental, and the people all attribute this to "Jiangzuo Song".

    Wu Weiye's folk reputation in Jiangnan reached its peak, while the Datong government became a complete villain.

    Actually, except for the guy who took the opportunity to seize property, the other officials who were dealt with felt wronged.  They don't want to come out to take care of things, because they are afraid of delaying the emperor's policy of family separation and migration, and they will be "slapped" when they are traced.

    Wu Weiye couldn't get along in Suzhou anymore, and all the local officials hated him to the bone, so they invited Mao Pijiang to Nanjing to do "Beijing drifting".

    When the two arrived in Nanjing, they were warmly welcomed by celebrities and gentry, and they were invited to attend literary meetings every now and then.

    Booksellers also like to invite Wu Weiye to write prefaces, and the retouching fees are often ten or twenty taels, and they can live worry-free just by making a living.

    Emperor Zhao heard about this a little bit, and said something that the female officer couldn't understand: "Wu Meicun, Wu Meicun, "Yuanyuanqu" must be gone. Weeping and crying, the six armies are all plain, and they are angry with the crown.  , it’s best not to present this poem.”

    "Great victory, great victory, great victory on the front line!"

    It has been two months since Wu Weiye and Mao Bijiang came to Nanjing. At this time, they were having a banquet in a restaurant when they suddenly heard the noise of people on the street.

    Mao Bijiang pushed open the window on the second floor, and saw a horse galloping past, waving the good news in his hand and shouting: "General Wang Tingchen, led the Datong cavalry out of the fortress, wiped out 20,000 elite Tartars, and killed the false king Hauge of the Tartars.  Countless livestock, people, war horses, and goods were captured Generals Xiao Zongxian and Hu Dinggui led their troops to conquer the west of Liaoning, and they won consecutive victories and recovered Jinzhou, Ningyuan, Yizhou, and Shanhaiguan"

    Wu Weiye was stunned for a moment, then he slapped his chopsticks on the table, picked up his wine glass and laughed loudly: "Ning Jin and Shanhaiguan have finally been taken back. Gentlemen, let's drink this cup to the fullest, and wish Master Wang to recover the entire Liaodong!"

    Mao Pijiang was also very happy, turned around and picked up the wine glass and said, "Congratulations to the soldiers who fought bloody battles!"

    A group of literati raised their glasses and drank, laughing and laughing endlessly.

    They are all scholars of the former Ming Dynasty who did not serve as officials. They are usually full of complaints and are very disgusted with the Datong court.  The imperial examinations have not yet been fully restored, and they have been separated and relocated three times. All these made them call the emperor stupid when they were drunk.

    But on the other hand, they admired the emperor's generosity.

    Someone got drunk and scolded the emperor in a restaurant, and the scolding alarmed the street patrol, and he was arrested and detained in a prison pending trial.  The judge didn't know how to judge. After reporting layer by layer, Emperor Zhao smiled handsomely: "Don't make a fuss about a few poor drunken words, let's let them go."

    ?The great victories in Hebei, Shaanxi, Liaodong, and Liaoxi this time made the poor literati even more proud.  Open your mouth and shut your mouth and say, our Datong soldiers are getting stronger day by day, and the Tartars are nothing but clowns. Sooner or later, we will be able to restore the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

    "Bang bang bang bang!? 

    In the city of Nanjing, there was the sound of crackling firecrackers.

    Especially the trading companies involved in northern business have already prepared firecrackers.  The more territory the Datong Army regained, the better their business would be.  And as immigrants enrich the north, it contains unlimited business opportunities. In recent years, many merchants have become rich because of it.

    "Meicun is well-known all over the world, it is better for Meicun to take the lead, and we will jointly invite His Majesty to resume the imperial examination." Shi Kecheng put down his glass and said.

    Shi Kecheng was Shi Kefa's cousin, who surrendered to Li Zicheng in Kaifeng's hometown, and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty in Kaifeng.  When the Datong army besieged Shangqiu, this guy fled to Shangqiu again, trying to join Emperor Zhao, but too many rebels failed, so he hid in the mountains halfway and survived.

    ? As for Shangshu's request to resume the imperial examination, it would come once a year, and Zhao Han was too lazy to bother.

    Wu Weiye shook his head and said: "Your Majesty has his own arrangements for the resumption of the imperial examination. It is useless for me to say more."

    "Meicun's words are wrong," Mao Bijiang said. "Ming Taizu also abolished the imperial examination, but if he didn't use the imperial examination to select officials, there must be many problems. Ming Taizu also realized this, so he ordered the restoration of the imperial examination. Now there are corruption everywhere.  The fraudulent case has been exposed, and if things go on like this, the current emperor will also think about restoring the imperial examination. I wait for the scholars, and insist on going to the sparse every year, which is also a step for His Majesty to restore the imperial examination."

    "Well said, we should persevere!" Tian Younian praised.

    This Tian Younian has the same name as the cabinet minister Tian Younian who retired this year.  But this field is not that field.

    The Tian Younian in front of him is from Anhui, and he was the fifth Jinshi in the 13th year of Chongzhen in history.  He and his younger brother Tian Fengnian specialize in studying Mao's poems, and they are also considered one of the founders of the Qing Dynasty's textual research school.

    Wu Weiye shook his head and said: "Ming Taizu abolished the imperial examinations and wanted to recruit talents from the Imperial Academy. How can the small Imperial Academy recruit talents from all over the world? Today, Your Majesty has established primary schools, middle schools and universities. He has also opened up a system for selecting officials at all levels.  , If you pass the registration examination, you can become a reserve official. Reserve officials do not spend half a year in politics with their salaries.  Being able to govern, sweeping away the mediocrity of officials in the late Ming Dynasty."

    "Otherwise," Mao Bijiang said, "if this method is used for a long time, and officials are selected regardless of their origin, there will inevitably be many disadvantages. The officials of a county, who can pass the exam, and who can't, have already practiced fraud.  There are a large number of mediocre officials in the city. This year, the inspectors of the clean government found a major case in Rugao. There was a former Ming scholar who was the head of Rugao County's official department. In the past two years, 30% of Rugao officials passed the exam.  They are his relatives and friends. Some people don’t even know a few big characters, and they only passed the exam because he secretly changed the answer sheet. All civil servants in a county are like this, so what about the whole world?”

    "Indeed, the disadvantages have been revealed, and it is imperative to restore the imperial examination!" Shi Kecheng clapped his hands.

    "Crack, clap, clap!"

    Suddenly someone knocked on the door, and the knock was very hasty.

    The door opened, and Xu Lianggong rushed in: "Everyone, something serious happened!"

    Xu Lianggong is Xu Xiake's nephew, who died this year in history, and the slaves rebelled and killed him.  This guy has long been separated and relocated, and his new home address is in Shandong. He thought Shandong was too poor after the war, so he took his wife and children to do "Beijing drifting" in Nanjing for a long time.

    "Why are you so flustered?" Wu Weiye asked.

    Xu Lianggong spread out a piece of paper, the ink was still wet: "I copied a copy of the notice that was posted today, and the imperial court re-set the ranks of officials. Officials continued from the previous Ming Dynasty, and they were still at the ninth rank and eighteenth rank, while the officials were changed.  There are six grades and twelve grades. The officials in the town are the lowest from the sixth grade. When it comes to the county government, the chiefs of each department are the third grade officials."

    This is nothing, the civil servants of Ming Dynasty also have ranks.

    Everyone looked around the notice, gradually showing surprise, because it faintly revealed information about the imperial examination.

    Perhaps because of serious cheating in the selection of officials in various places, the Datong court made stricter regulations.

    ?The probationary officer examination must be held with a primary school graduation certificate.  In other words, those who do not have a primary school graduation certificate will not even be qualified to be reserve officials in the future.  At the same time, officials from the third class can work in the county.  The third-class officials and above, that is, the county government section chief and above, must abide by the principle of reassignment from other places.

    There is also a regulation that those who hold a high school graduation certificate and take the preparatory official examination can be directly designated as a third-class official when they become a full-time official, or directly serve as a minor official at the end of the ninth rank.

    "Alas," Wu Weiye sighed, "Your Majesty's intentions are undoubtedly revealed in this notice. Even if the imperial examinations are resumed in the future, I am afraid that we will still have to hold a university diploma. Our fame in the former Ming Dynasty will definitely not count."

    "Your Majesty is confused!" Mao Bijiang couldn't help blurting out.

    No one stopped it. It doesn't matter if you scold the emperor in private, and the government won't care if they know about it.

    Shi Kecheng stood up abruptly: "Farewell, gentlemen, I will return to Henan tomorrow."

    "I wish you all the best in your official career!" The crowd said, clasping their hands.

    ?The notice stated that in Henan, Shandong, Sichuan and other places, due to the incomplete construction of primary schools, the previous method of selecting officials will be temporarily adopted.

    Shi Kecheng used to disdain to be an official, but now he wants to go home quickly. Before he gets stuck, he will be an official first.  If there is any hesitation, you won't even be an official in the future!

    There is more than one person who has this kind of thinking, and even the children of the big families in the south applied to immigrate to the north on their own initiative, because they wanted to go to the north to be an official.

    A bunch of scumbags, toasting but not eating fine wine!?? will manage.

 Text 573 [The people can be made to know it, but not to be made to know it]

    "Your Majesty, Beijing has been restored, please revise the History of Ming Dynasty." Qian Qianyi asked at the court meeting.  .  .

    ? Zhao Han nodded and said, "Yes. Order the Imperial Academy History Institute to compile "History of the Ming Dynasty", with Qian Qianyi as the president and Wang Diaoding as the vice president."

    "The minister takes orders!" Qian Qianyi was overjoyed.

    This matter has been settled long ago, and it is very important to bring it to the court meeting.

    Although Qian Qianyi is the president, he can only work in the professional field.  The one who is really in charge of the overall situation is Wang Tiaoding, the vice president. This "History of Ming Dynasty" must be compiled in accordance with Datong theory.

    As for Zhang Pu, he became seriously ill again and had to stay in bed every year, but he just couldn't die.

    Zhao Han also said to Chen Wenkui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice: "Chen Wenkui temporarily resigned from his position as Shangshu, collected cases over the years, combined with the criminal laws of previous dynasties, and compiled a "Datong Law".  There are seven parts: law, publication law, and land law. The constitution does not need to be compiled for the time being, and I will compile it myself. When it will be compiled is really uncertain.”

    This matter was not agreed in advance, and Li Banghua wondered: "Your Majesty, the etiquette law is understandable, so what is the publishing law?"

    Zhao Han took out a book and threw it in front of all the officials: "This "Remains of the Ancient Ming Dynasty" is full of nonsense, and there are many pages in it that I edited.  Yes. I know that there is a book called "Gushan Bizhen". The author knows how to argue, and readers would rather believe it. In that book, what does Wan Guifei look like? Publishing Law is the law that specifically manages the publishing of books.  !"

    The black material about Concubine Wan Gui originally came from Shen Xing's "Gushan Bizhen".

    However, when Yu Shenxing was writing the book, he added a special sentence: These things were said by an old eunuch, and the old eunuch might be spreading rumors.

    Mao Qiling compiled "Sheng Chaotong History Supplements", which quoted Yu Shenxing's content, but deleted the questionable sentence in the original work.  Mao Qiling edited "History of the Ming Dynasty: Biography of Concubines" for a while, and moved "Supplements to the History of Sheng Chaotong" intact, so the unofficial history directly became official history.

    Mao Qiling was the gangster who offended Zhao Han and was thrown as a petty official, and presided over the punishment of the Kong family in Shandong.

    "It should be so." Li Banghua quickly agreed. He also read "Gushan Bizhen", which became very popular during the Wanli period.

    Zhao Han also said qualitatively: "The "Law of Rites" covers general etiquette, but major changes must be made! Take funerals as an example, you can organize funerals, but you are not allowed to invite opera troupes to play music, nor monks and Taoists to do things. I follow  Ancient rituals, not to mention the three generations, that is, the Han and Tang Dynasties, which family would hire a theater troupe when their parents died? Also, the three-year mourning period is too long, and only one year is required for the death of parents! The marriage part in "Ritual Law" roughly follows "  "Laws of the Ming Dynasty", but the commentary on the husband as the wife should be changed. Husband and wife go their own way, which is the code of ethics. If the husband is not good, the wife can ask for reconciliation and divorce. When the husband dies, the wife can remarry, and the tribe and the government must not stop it!"

    "Remember." Chen Wenkui bowed his hands and accepted the order.

    The "Law of Etiquette" mentioned by Zhao Han actually includes the "Law of Marriage".

    But in ancient times, the family was not a small family of three, but a big family of one big family. Zhao Han could only limit each household to a maximum of ten people.

    This is determined by productivity, and the productivity in ancient times has not yet reached the point where people are generally divided into small families.

    "Ritual Law" was very important in ancient times. Take "Da Ming Law" as an example, a large amount of content at the beginning is all about etiquette.

    Chen Wenkui asked: "Your Majesty, what instructions does the "Publishing Law" have?"

    Zhao Han said: "First, you must not disregard the facts to create rumors; second, you must not violate public order and good customs."

    Chen Wenkui went blind in an instant. What he said was equivalent to nothing, and it was a completely ambiguous instruction.  Even when it comes to law enforcement, it has unlimited maneuverability. If the government wants to ban a book, it must directly designate it as violating public order and good customs.

    "Okay, let's not talk about this," Zhao Han said, "today's court meeting, let's talk about other things. I learned something from reading today, and the master said: 'The people can be taught, but they can't be taught.' What is the explanation for this statement?"  ?”

    Zhao Han's court meeting has actually become a Jingyan meeting.

    In addition to instilling knowledge of astronomy and geography to officials and the benefits of opening the sea to the country, they also often discuss Confucian classics-competing for the right to interpret Confucian classics!

    Zhang Pu dragged his sick body, and immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Zhu Zi has made it very clear in "The Analects of Confucius" and quoted Cheng Zi's words. Confucius taught without distinction, not because he didn't let the people know the truth. But  The people are really ignorant, and it is impossible for everyone to understand. Therefore, when governing the country, as long as the people know how to do it, there is no need for everyone to know why they do it. This is a helpless move.”

    "No," Qian QianYi said, "Zhu Zi's commentary said that the people can make them take it for granted, but they cannot make them know why. It means that the people only need to know what to do, but they can't let the people know why they do it. This is the principle of governing the people.  Dao, people's thoughts are very different, even if it is the same truth, facing the same thing, different people will have different ideas. Let the people know why, and they will inevitably lead to chaos. It is better to let them not know. "

    Zhang Pu retorted: "Then why did Zhu Zi still quote Cheng Zi's words? The shepherd explained to His Majesty in this way, is it to let His Majesty practice tricks?"

    Cheng Zi's comment is: If the sage does not let the people know the truth, it belongs to the art of governing the country of later generations, not the original heart of the sage.

    ? Qian Qianyi explained: "The art of chasing four and turning three at night refers to what one's heart is. If it is to deceive the people, it is the art of going all the way. If it is for the purpose of governing the country and the people, it is not the art of going all the way."

    This can only be blamed on Zhu Xi. When annotating "The Analects of Confucius", he was really ambiguous, no matter how he interpreted it.

    All the ministers in the court insisted on their own opinions, and the scene was chaotic.

    After Chen Maosheng became Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he was also tutoring homework every day, and he had already memorized at least four books.  He cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that there is a problem with the punctuation of this sentence. It can be concluded as: the people can, let them know it. If not, let them know it.  "

    "Chen Shangshu is right." Xu Ying immediately expressed her support.

    Now the quarrel became more joyful, and the two factions split into three factions.

    Pang Chunlai half-closed his eyes, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty said that he has gained something from studying, but I think His Majesty has something else to say."

    All the ministers were quiet, waiting for the emperor to explain.

    Zhao Han said: "I was reading Zhu Zi's works today, and I came across an "Answer to Fan Bochong". Zhu Zi said that the people can only be taught by their ears. As for knowing it, they must wait for their self-awareness.  , if you know it, you will definitely not come to it, and what you have reached is also too far away, and it is no different from what you can’t reach.”

    Zhu Xi said in the article: It is enough to let the people implement the law. As for making them understand the truth, it depends on the people's self-consciousness and cannot be forced by the government.  Knowing only how to do it, but not knowing why it is done, does not prevent the people from comprehending the truth.  It would be best if the common people understood it by themselves.  First let the people know how to do it, and then let the people understand why they do it. It is a process from the shallower to the deeper.  Forcing the people to understand, the people may never be able to understand, even if they understand, they will be biased, which is no different from not understanding.

    "Of course!"

    Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu said at the same time that their different understandings lead to the same goal in Zhu Xi's passage.

    Qian Qianyi said: "Don't let the people know why it is. What you want to guard against is the younger generation. If you can know why and understand the truth yourself, you will be a gentleman in this generation."

    "Nonsense," Zhang Pu scolded angrily, "If you can't understand the truth, you are a villain. How many villains are there in the world?"

    Qian Qianyi retorted: "I didn't say that it is villains who cannot understand the truth, but that we should prevent villains from understanding the truth indiscriminately, or even deliberately distorting the truth."

    Although there are still disputes, Zhu Xi's "Answer to Fan Bochong" has unified the understanding of all the ministers on "the people can let them know what they want, but they can't make them know".

    However, this is not what Zhao Han needs.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "My understanding of this sentence is roughly the same as Zhu Zi's, but there are some differences."

    "Your Majesty, please speak clearly." Li Banghua said.

    Zhao Han asked: "Have you heard, Zhu Qing, that if you persevere, you will never break a rotten tree?"

    Ai Julian, a foreigner, rushed to answer: "This sentence comes from "Xunzi Encouraging Learning."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Have you ever read "Book of Jin" and "Yanzi"? In "Book of Jin", the rotten wood is not broken, but it is written as rotten wood. I don’t know it. The folding in "Yanzi" is written as knowledge.  "Fold" and "knowledge" seem to be the same word in ancient times. "The people can use it, but they can't make it known", can it be interpreted as "the people can use it, but they can't break it"?"

    As soon as this remark came out, the whole court was shocked. This is to tamper with the Confucian classics!

    Zhao Han continued: "Does the word Yu mean to guide?"

    Ai Julius was dumbfounded. With such a change, the sentence becomes: The people can be guided, but they cannot be forced to submit.

    In fact, Zhao Han's understanding is based on the Chu bamboo slips unearthed in later generations.

    It was a batch of bamboo slips from the Warring States period, and there were two sentences in it: The people can teach the way, but not the wisdom.  The people can be right, but not forceful.

    The people can lead, not force!

    "Haha, I am also whimsical, and you may have a taste or two." Zhao Han did not force the ministers to understand, otherwise it would violate the spirit of this sentence.

    After the emperor said so, people will naturally study it, and it will become a way of understanding in the future.

    Zhao Han also said: "I ordered the migration of the clans, and many local officials blindly act recklessly. Recklessness is nothing more than that. After all, they are carrying out the emperor's orders.  It is wrong to discredit the emperor and the court, and it will definitely be dealt with. In addition, in the future, whether the people understand the government orders or not, the truth must be explained clearly to the people."

    "Remember, ministers!" All the ministers bowed and bowed.

    Zhao Han has two more things to do here, one is to edit "History of Ming Dynasty", and the other is to edit "Law of Great Harmony".

    As for Li Zicheng and Man Qing, they are already on the verge of bursting.; The emperor said so, naturally someone will study it, and it will become a way of understanding in the future.

    Zhao Han also said: "I ordered the migration of the clans, and many local officials blindly act recklessly. Recklessness is nothing more than that. After all, they are carrying out the emperor's orders.  It is wrong to discredit the emperor and the court, and it will definitely be dealt with. In addition, in the future, whether the people understand the government orders or not, the truth must be explained clearly to the people."

    "Remember, ministers!" All the ministers bowed and bowed.

    Zhao Han has two more things to do here, one is to edit "History of Ming Dynasty", and the other is to edit "Law of Great Harmony".

    As for Li Zicheng and Man Qing, they are already on the verge of exploding.

 Text 579 [Li Zicheng’s Journey to the Prairie]

    ,

    The Qinghai envoy led by Chechen Daiqing had just entered the border of Henan, and Li Zicheng also received Zhao Han's reply.

    Li Zicheng convened an imperial meeting and said directly: "This year's war, there is not much food left in Shanxi People's hearts are not stable. If Zhao calls again next year, Shanxi will definitely not be able to keep it. I don't know how many civil and military surrenders. Let's talk to Zhao  After discussing with him, he agreed to release the captured brother back, and gave us a handout of Yin Shanhou."

    "We are going to go out to fight and occupy the grassland to be the king. If you are willing to follow, I will take you to the grassland. If you don't want to follow, you can stay and surrender. We are all old brothers. Let's talk openly today. I don't want to go to the grassland.  Shepherding sheep, we don't force it, who the hell is willing to herd sheep?"

    "Don't lose face, you don't have to express your opinion today. Those who want to go with us, and those who want to stay and surrender, go back and prepare secretly."

    "If you want to go, just take the cavalry. Even if you don't have a horse, you must at least have a mule. If you don't have a wife, hurry up and ask for a wife. We are going to the grassland to settle down. Don't go to the grassland, and the mother is homesick and wants to come back.  Don't search too hard, before you leave, just go to the local gentry and merchants to copy the salary, don't embarrass the poor people."

    "After the beginning of spring next year, we will meet in Taiyuan on the second day of February, the day when the dragon raises its head. If you come to Taiyuan before the second day of February, I will take you to the grassland. If you don't come, we will treat you as staying and surrendering. Today is our farewell.  banquet……"

    After Li Zicheng finished speaking, no one in the audience made a sound. The news was too sudden.

    Finally someone wanted to express his opinion, Li Zicheng raised his hand to interrupt: "Today, just drink and eat meat, don't talk about anything else. If you want to leave, bring soldiers over at the beginning of spring; if you don't leave, don't show up again at the beginning of spring. If you talk bluntly today, you can drink too much."  It's not a good time. Come, let's serve wine and food!"

    Good wine and good food, all served, Li Zicheng has not been so extravagant for a long time.

    A group of old camp brothers seem to go back ten years ago.  They exchanged cups and glasses, and talked dirty jokes freely. Li Zicheng also let go of the emperor's airs and ran to hang shoulders with his old brothers.

    After drinking for three rounds, and when he was emotional, Liu Zongmin said with tears in his eyes: "Our family is for planting land. If we couldn't pay the rent, my father hanged himself. Mother took us to beg for food. It's good to be a beggar.  Ah, I heard that Zhu Yuanzhang was a beggar, and Emperor Zhao was also a beggar. My mother gave us clothes to wear, and my mother gave us what I begged for to eat, but my mother froze to death and starved to death"

    Li Zicheng threw his glass and cursed: "They are all corrupt officials who are like dogs. Which one of us is not a good citizen? We are forced to beg for food, we are forced to kill people, and we are forced to be rogues!"

    "Isn't it? We used to just want to farm well, and we didn't ask for meat. We were content with a full stomach" Liu Fangliang also began to recall the hard times.

    Zhang Nai said: "Our parents are both dead, but luckily our adoptive father (Li Zicheng) took in us. We will follow wherever our adoptive father goes in this life. Isn't it the grassland? Let's occupy the grassland and recommend our adoptive father to be  The Han people in the grassland are sweating profusely!"

    After a meal of wine and meat, the dna of these guys' rogues was stimulated, and they returned to the state of being trapped in Shangluo Mountain back then.

    They fled from Tongguanyuan into the mountains, leaving only one or two thousand people, and many of them were frozen to death in winter.  But after the beginning of spring, it came out of the mountains and quickly swept across Henan.

    The current situation is better than that of the past. One winter, he came to collect money and food, and then left with his soldiers swaggeringly.

    After the banquet was over, they each returned to the station, and began to arrest the gentry and merchants in full swing.

    Regardless of the charges, torture first.

    When the beating is half dead, the money and food will be handed over.

    A bunch of traitorous Shanxi merchants for profit did not need Zhao Han to deal with them at all, but they were tossed to death by Li Zicheng's generals.  Some Shanxi merchants hoarded millions of taels of silver in various cellars. This was the result of being tortured once a few years ago.

    After the Spring Festival, these Dashun generals, including a few generals who took refuge halfway, brought their soldiers and family members to Taiyuan.

    Soldiers ran away along the way, but it didn't matter, ordinary soldiers ran at will, as long as they watched those who could ride horses and didn't run away.

    After Zhao Han released Li Guo, Gao Yigong and other captives, Li Zicheng led the army to march towards the grassland.  When crossing the Great Wall, there were more than 12,000 cavalry under his command, more than 40,000 soldiers' families and a few civilians, nearly 10 million taels of silver, and more than 20,000 livestock of various types to carry goods.

    Those gentry and merchants in Shanxi had almost all their money and food looted.  There were only a few who wanted money but did not want to die, and they were beaten to death without telling where the money was hidden.

    Today's north and south of the Yinshan Mountains, including the vast Hetao area, are all the territory of the Xitumote tribe.

    Although the population of the Situmot Department is only 150,000, their territory is too large.  Man Qing was not at ease at all, so he did not giveSecond, massacre one or two tribes to gain prestige; third, split up and win over some small tribes.  "

    "The Prime Minister is right, but wait until the battle is over." Li Zicheng got on his horse.

    Niu Jinxing said: "Let General Liu (Liu Zongmin) withdraw and temporarily reconcile with Chahar Mongolia, and first gather troops to completely subdue Tumed Mongolia. We are outsiders and cannot provoke two big tribes at the same time. Let's withdraw  , Chahar Mongols will inevitably have another internal strife, and it will not be too late to fight Chahar Mongols after the Tummet Mongolia has been cleaned up."

    Li Zicheng nodded and said: "Immediately send someone to pass an order to Liu Zongmin, asking him to lead his troops to Guihua City, and let the Jining side go to the Chahar Department."

    Less than two months after Li Zicheng occupied Hohhot, he encountered a joint counterattack by the Mongols, and it was not a big alliance of the whole clan. This was enough for him to drink a pot in the grassland.

    This guy quickly went to support Li Guo, who had already been defeated and retreated to Lingzhao Temple.

    The two fought back together and won a big victory. They chased all the way to Bayannur, and directly slaughtered the Urad Rear Banner tribe there.

    ? Li Zicheng is not a shit-stirring stick, but a river dragon living on the grassland.

    The Great Prairie War lasted for an unknown number of years.

    And in the spring of this year, the Qinghai mission led by Chechen Daiqing finally arrived in Nanjing to pay tribute to the emperor.

 Text 580 [Gushhan?  Return to King Yi!  】

    Nanjing, the Forbidden City.

    Although Chechen Daiqing is the leader of the mission, the official envoy in name is Qinghai Living Buddha Duoju Gyatso.  .  .

    All living Buddhas of this series were reincarnated.  Only Duoju Gyatso was reborn by Dafa.

    ?The previous living Buddha passed away in Liangzhou, and his body was sent to Kangba Dongke Temple. On the way, a young man of Han nationality died.  The soul of the previous living Buddha was put into the body of this Han youth, and the youth came back from the dead, shouting: "I am Dongke!"

    "Dongke Temple resides mostly in Gyatso, and pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Datong!"

    "Heshuote Khanate Chechen Daiqing, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Datong!"

    The two came to the hall and saluted Zhao Han one after another.

    Honglu Temple has been restored, and it belongs to the Ministry of Rites, which is in charge of foreign guests, court meetings, banquets and etiquette.  Envoys from foreign vassal states were not as rough as before when they met the emperor. They all had to study in Honglu Temple, and they all bowed down and saluted the emperor—special professions such as monks and Taoists could do it at their own discretion.

    "Give me a seat." Zhao Han said.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Under the guidance of the female officer, the two sat down carefully.

    After a few simple exchanges, Chechen Daiqing said: "Your Majesty, my father Tulubaihu, is willing to bring the Oirat Mongolia and Heshuot Khanate, and sincerely submit to Datong China, and be the northwest fence of the Celestial Dynasty for generations."

    "Your father is commendable for his loyalty and obedience. I am very relieved," Zhao Han nodded in approval, and asked casually, "How is your father? If you have time, you can come to Nanjing to meet. I also want to meet the Mongolian heroes."

    Chechen Daiqing replied: "Thanks to your majesty's blessing, my father is in good health and can ride a horse and hunt like a sixteen-year-old boy."

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "You speak Chinese very well."

    Chechen Daiqing said: "Xiaochen has been learning Chinese for eight years."

    Zhao Han looked at Duoju Gyatso again: "This Living Buddha doesn't seem to like talking."

    Duoju Gyatso himself was a Han Chinese. Although he was reincarnated by the previous living Buddha, he still remained in awe of the emperor. He quickly said: "Seeing your majesty is like paying homage to the Buddha. You just need to be sincere and needless to say."

    "Master's Dharma is profound, and I really admire it," Zhao Han immediately expressed his respect for the living Buddha, but he was only respectful and not interested. He changed the subject and asked, "Oirat Mongolia, is it often attacked by Russia?"

    The country of Russia, the country of Luocha, is the correct transliteration of Tsarist Russia.

    However, Mongolian rarely starts with an r consonant. When talking about the country of Rus, the first syllable is transformed into o, and the second-hand translation into Chinese becomes Russia.

    Similarly, Russia's name for China has always used the wrong name in Europe: Khitan.

    Chechen Daiqing replied: "Russia is in the north, and their expeditionary force is called Cossacks. There are not many people, but they are very hateful. They invaded the Teliangguti tribe of Oara Mongolia and built a castle called Kunzike.  In the north of Burt’s tribe, a castle called Tana was built. They usually hide in the city, and often go out to plunder our family, and return to the city after the robbery.”

    Kuznetsk Castle was built more than 20 years ago.  To the northwest of the city is Tomsk Castle.  Further west, is Tara Castle.

    The three castles are all in the north of Wara Mongolia.

    Zhao Han asked: "What is the combat power of the Russian Cossack cavalry?"

    Chechen Daiqing replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have never encountered it before. I just listened to what the elders of the clan said. These Cossacks are extremely fierce, vicious, and very cunning. They like to attack sneakily and do not fight directly. Every time the Mongols  When the warriors went to conquer, they hid in the castle. It was too cold there, and the Mongol warriors lacked supplies, and they had to withdraw after besieging the city for a month or two at most. When the Mongol warriors withdrew, the Cossacks went south to plunder the Mongolian herdsmen.”

    Zhao Han immediately understood that Oirat Mongolia was not afraid of the Cossack cavalry, but the Cossacks had disgusted them enough.

    The original meaning of the Cossacks is "freedom", and they were originally a group of civilians who could not bear the oppression of the nobles.  In order to avoid the persecution of the feudal lords, they kept fleeing and migrating eastward, living by the river and calling themselves Cossacks.

    The original Cossacks did not have cavalry units, but lived on ships for a long time.

    They are also on the boat when they fight. If they can't fight, they row to escape. They usually make a living by fishing.  After repeatedly defeating the feudal lords' conquests, the Cossacks began to gain fame, and later Zhao'an became a mercenary of the nobles.

    Zhao Han asked to understand the Cossacks, and said: "Since Oara has belonged to the Celestial Dynasty, the enemies of Oara are also the enemies of the Celestial Dynasty. Besides Russia, who are the other great enemies of Oara? Let me tell you all of them, and wait for me to deal with the Jurchen barbarians."  , and went to help Wala wipe out the enemy!"

    Chechen Daiqing said happily: "I would like to report to your Majesty, Oala's confidant's trouble is the Khalkha Mongolia in Mobei. If Your Majesty is willing toSoldiers, the various tribes of Oirat are willing to send 50,000 cavalry to cooperate to completely wipe Khalkha Mongolia from Mobei!  At that time, Hetao will belong to the Celestial Dynasty, and Mobei will belong to Wala!  "

    "Who occupies Hami?" Zhao Han asked.

    Chechen Daiqing said: "The south of the Tianshan Mountains belong to the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, but they are actually owned by the Yeerqiang Khanate. The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was originally divided into the Yeerqiang Kingdom and the Turfan Kingdom.  The country was divided into various tribes. Twenty years ago, the son of King Khan of Turpan took advantage of his brother's struggle for the throne and sent troops from the Yeerqiang Kingdom to Turpan. This person unified the Yeerqiang Kingdom and handed Turpan to Turpan.  The younger brother ruled, controlled Hami in the east, attacked the Zhungeer tribe of Oala Mongolia in the north, and took away the Ili River Valley and Lake Balkhash."

    The founder of the Yeerqiang Khanate was the cousin of the founder of the Mughal Empire in India.

    Today, the monarch who reunified southern Xinjiang is called Abdullah.  His death was very nonsense in history. After professing his vassal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he went on a pilgrimage to Mecca in person, and died of illness in Delhi, India when he returned. The Yeerqiang Kingdom fell into civil war from then on, and was later wiped out by the Zhungeer tribe of Wara Mongol.

    Oirat Mongolia is surrounded by enemies on all sides.

    There is Russia in the north, Kazakhs in the west, Khalkha in the east, and Yerkand in the south.  However, the temporary truce with Yeerqiang was at the price of recognizing Yeerqiang's rule over the Ili River Valley and Lake Balkhash.

    Zhao Han does not have the current map of the Western Regions, only a few maps of the ancient Western Regions.

    He called Chechen Daiqing to his side and asked, "Which one is Yeerqiang?"

    Chechen Daiqing was also a little confused. After thinking for a while, he pointed to the southern Xinjiang area and said, "It should be here."

    Zhao Han pointed to the north of Yinshan Mountain again: "Is this Khalkha?"

    "Yes." Chechen Daiqing was much more certain this time.

    "What about this side?" Zhao Han pointed west.

    Chechen Daiqing said: "It's Kazakhs there. Between Kazakhs and Yeerqiang, there are still people from Kyrgyz."

    The Kyrgyz people are the Kirgiz ethnic group, some of them later lived in Xinjiang, and some lived in the former Soviet Union.  After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it became Kyrgyzstan.

    The Giligis originally lived in the Seven Rivers Valley.  The Zhungeer tribe drove the Kiligis away and occupied the Ili River Valley by themselves, and now it was taken away by the Yeerqiang Kingdom.

    Zhao Han chatted with Chechen Daiqing for a while, and finally opened up the fog of war in the Western Regions, and roughly understood the distribution of forces in those regions.

    Chechen Daiqing was very honest and answered Zhao Han's questions.

    Because the content of Zhao Han's question is very far away, if the Datong Army really wants to turn their faces, it will not be the Western Regions at all, but Qinghai and Tibet of Gushhan!

    Gush Khan is very interesting. He led the army at the age of thirteen and occupied Urumqi and other places.  He could have ruled northern Xinjiang, but he had to use force.  In order to avoid a civil war with his uncle, brother, and brother-in-law, he directly gave up his territory and led his troops to beat Qinghai.

    It is equivalent to the heir of a large company. When he is already the president, he said that I don’t want this company. Please give me a few shares. I will bring a sum of money to start a business.

    The leaders of the Heshuo Special Department are very grateful for this, and respect Gushi Khan as the honorary chairman.  The group's head office, Wara Mongolia, still respects Gushi Khan as its honorary president.

    As long as the actual interests of the leaders of Oirat Mongolia are not affected, Gushi Khan can make decisions on behalf of the entire Oirat.

    For example, surrender to the Datong court!

    After chatting about the Western Regions for a while, Zhao Han began to ask about Buddhism and learn about the situation of various sects in Tibet and Qinghai.

    Among the four major sects of Tibetan Buddhism, Gushri Khan supports the Yellow Sect, and now the Yellow Sect is in full swing.

    The Duoju Gyatso in front of him is one of the Living Buddhas of the Yellow Sect.

    Chechen Daiqing lived in Nanjing for more than a month, and finally waited for the emperor to confer:

    ?The Chinese court of Datong conferred the title of Gushi Khan as the King of Guiyi, and bestowed a gold seal on the vassal king.  He also conferred the title of duke on the leaders of the various tribes of Wala, and bestowed him with a golden seal.  Gushri Khan and the leaders of various ministries bestowed an exquisite matchlock gun and some ammunition.  Gushi Khan himself gave a special horse to Tianzhu.

    He also granted Duoju Gyatso the title of Qinghai Living Buddha, and stipulated that the reincarnated Living Buddha of Qinghai must accept the canonization of the Nanjing Emperor to be valid.

    ?The cavalry of various tribes of Wala can be used for military passage in Gansu.

    However, before each pass, a report and permission must be carried out.  If there is any illegal act in the middle, it will be strictly punished by the law, otherwise it will be tantamount to rebellion.

    Chechen Daiqing was ecstatic. The task his father entrusted to him has been successfully completed. The Emperor of Datong is really kind.

    Datong Emperor Zhao Han is waiting for his father to die of illness.

    Anyway, Zhao Han is very young, while Gushi Khan is already sixty-four years old.  How long can a Mongolian who has been fighting all the year round live at the age of sixty-four?

    Once this freshly baked Guiyi King dies, Qinghai and Tibet will definitely split.  Even if it doesn't split, Zhao Han will let it split, and then everything will be decided by the court.

    Chechen Daiqing knelt under the city of Nanjing, facing the majestic and towering towers, bid farewell to the emperor and returned to Qinghai.

    As for the Living Buddha of Qinghai, he was detained as a man as a guest.

    Historically, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also played in this way. There were several Living Buddhas in Beijing in Qinghai and Tibet.  In the event of a rebellion, the Living Buddha is in hand and can issue relevant orders at any time. If the local leader is not obedient, it is against the Living Buddha's will.The ancients, how long can they live at the age of sixty-four?

 Body 581 [Constitution of Centralized Monarchy]

    ,

    Jinshen Temple.

    On March 3rd, the imperial court is on holiday, and the emperor has no office today.  .  .

    Li Xiangjun was grinding ink, Zhao Han unfolded the paper himself, and pressed a paperweight on it.

    "Your Majesty, the ink research is finished." Li Xiangjun handed over the brush.

    Zhao Han picked up his pen and wrote a line: Datong China's Imperial Constitution.

    The content of "Law of Great Harmony" should be compiled with reference to the Constitution, but Zhao Han asked the Ministry of Criminal Justice to compile "Law of Great Harmony" first.  This is because Zhao Han himself is not sure about some things in the constitution, and will be amended in the future according to the implementation process of the "Law of Great Harmony".

    There are also many kinds of constitutional monarchies, just like colonial styles.

    The overseas colonization of Spain and Portugal is completely robber-like plunder.  Not only oppressed natives and black slaves, but also exploited their own immigrants. The Portuguese royal family even forced Portuguese immigrants to leave their home country and choose to convert to Hinduism in large numbers.

    And Britain's overseas colonization continued its shit-stirring style, the most obvious of which was in India.  First lay low and be small, gain the trust of the Indian emperor, then win over and divide the state, fish in troubled waters to make a profit, and then tie the prince of the state to his own interest chariot.

    France's overseas colonization has a strong taste of the continental empire, and they will also move the French language, culture and system there.

    If Zhao Han wants to engage in colonization in the future, it must be the way of France.

    Let’s talk about the constitutional monarchy. The German constitutional monarchy and the British constitutional monarchy, except for the same name, are completely two different things-the German emperor is the chairman of the parliament, and has the right to convene, postpone, and close the parliament. He has the right to appoint a prime minister  , has the power to promulgate, supervise and execute laws, and has the power to appoint any officials. The emperor is the supreme leader of the army.

    "The first article is that the heaven and the earth are peaceful, and all things breed. Man is the spirit of all things, and a country is formed by gathering people. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was corrupt, the Manchu Dynasty was brutal, and the hypocrisy was rampant. Therefore, the people were devastated, and Datong China was born in accordance with the will of the people. With the support of the people,  When it is in harmony with the way of heaven, Datong is a country that inherits the sky and responds to the people. This is Datong China!"

    "The second article, all the people in the world in Kyushu are the people of Huaxia. The Han people are the people of Huaxia, and the Tong, Hui, Mongolian, Dai, Yao, etc., if they live in the land of Kyushu, they are also the people of Huaxia.  All ethnic groups are all descendants of the Yellow Emperor and Miao, just like separated brothers and sisters. The Han people are elder brothers, and all ethnic groups are younger brothers. Datong China is also the country of Huaxia. The Datong of China is also the Datong of all ethnic groups in Huaxia.”

    "Article 3, the country of Huaxia was born with the destiny of China, and it is responsible for the revitalization of China. The place where Chinese civilization spreads should be the land of Datong China, and one of them must be indispensable."

    These three articles are about the country, the people and the land.

    Li Xiangjun stood by and watched, thoughtful, understanding but not fully understanding, always felt that these three articles were written with profound meaning.

    "Article 4, since Datong is a country that inherits the sky and responds to the people, everyone is born equal.  People too."

    "Article 5, although the emperor is a man, he gathers the hearts of the people to become the emperor, and inherits the way of heaven to proclaim himself emperor.  , so that the country is stable, the foundation is solid, and the country is continuous. The emperor is the monarch of the country, the head of all officials, the army, and the people, and the people must respect and love him."

    "Article 6, if the people have talents, the emperor will take them out as officials. Officials are not the parents of the people.

    In fact, he is the elder brother of the people.  As an official, you should take improving people's livelihood as your duty, and implement benevolent government for the monarch to the people.  Officials are also people, and they should abide by the law.  Those who violate the "Law of Great Harmony" are guilty of the same crime as civil crimes.  "

    "Article 7. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are all people, and monks, Taoists, doctors, and divination are also people. There are different occupations, and there is no superiority or inferiority. People who are the people should obey the law, love the monarch, and respect officials."

    These four articles, from "Gebit Theory" and "Sanyuan Pian", determine the status of the emperor, officials and people.

    "Article 8, the inner court is also the institution of the emperor"

    "Article 9, the outer court, the institutions of the state"

    The next two articles summarize the inner and outer courts.

    The inner court is mainly composed of the emperor, the harem, female officials, and bodyguards. Corresponding laws must also be formulated in accordance with the constitution.

    The emperor is the king of a country, family affairs are almost equal to state affairs, and everything in the inner court is carried out to stabilize the country.  Including the selection of concubines is also for the stability of the country, so the emperor is not the same as the officials and citizens who prohibit concubines-the officials and citizens of the Ming Dynasty are also not allowed to take concubines, at least the law stipulates this, except in some specific cases.

    At the same time, Zhao Han also stipulated that the selection of concubines, female officials and court ladies should not disturb the people with great fanfare, and everything should be based on the principle of voluntary people.

    And the guards of the imperial city,According to the land laws and regulations, the monarchs of later generations gave half an acre of land for sacrifice, which are very serious violations of the constitution.

    To violate the constitution means not to abide by the virtue of the emperor!

    After the Ching Ming Festival holiday, Zhao Han called Chen Wenkui and took out the newly released "Constitution": "Look here, this "Constitution", I don't want to make it public for the time being. If you major in "Datong Law", follow the "Constitution"  "Framework."

    Zhao Han went to review the memorial by himself, and Chen Wenkui sat beside him and read it slowly. The old man memorized the general content in a daze.

    At noon, Zhao Han called Chen Wenkui to eat: "What do you think?"

    Chen Wenkui said: "Your Majesty has a far-sighted vision, and I can only speculate about it. This "Constitution of Datong China" is quite similar to the "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" written by Ming Taizu. "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" was written for the descendants of the Zhu family.  And the "Constitution of Great Harmony China" was written for all people in the world to read, and it was also written for future generations of monarchs and ministers to read."

    Zhao Han smiled and nodded: "Continue."

    Chen Wenkui also said: "The "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" is the Zhu family's ancestor's instruction, so it is unavoidably petty, but it is also mixed with state affairs, so it can only be put on the shelf by the Zhu family's descendants. It is said that An Nanguo has repeatedly violated the previous Ming.  Respectful, but listed Annan as a country that will not be conquered. This is absurd. Your Majesty's "Constitution of Great Harmony China" rarely talks about details, but only outlines general principles. This great voice is also hopeless, and future generations of monarchs, ministers, and all people in the world can follow  Govern the country according to His Majesty's way, and change the country's government because of the changing times."

    "That's a very kind word!" Zhao Han immediately appreciated it even more.

    No money.

    Xu Cheng really has no money.

    He doesn't have a penny of the money that is common in this world.

    With Xu Cheng's words, the face of the old man on the opposite side darkened.

    The old man's eyes swept over Xu Cheng, and then fell on Mu Yang behind him, and couldn't help but light up slightly.

    "If you don't have any money, then use this kid to settle the bill."

    "Your boy will stay in my elixir valley in the future, and be a boy who waters and collects herbs."

    Spirit Medicine Valley.

    When Mu Yang heard the old man's words, a strange expression appeared on his face.

    Having been in the medicine hall for several years, he naturally knew that there was a secret place in the medicine hall, and there was an old senior who was said to be respectful even to the suzerain of Luoxue Sect.

    It's just that this senior has a weird temper and is difficult for ordinary people to approach.

    Unexpectedly, this senior would ask himself to be a medicine boy.

    If he could get the respect of this senior, his practice above the way of medicine would definitely make rapid progress, even surpassing all the pharmacists in Luoxuezong.

    If he hadn't left the medicine hall, and his master Shao Santong hadn't recovered, he would have agreed to stay in the elixir valley without hesitation.

    Well now, no.

    Because back then when his master Shao Santong asked for the Spirit Medicine Valley, this senior said he was helpless.

    It was also because of this that Shao Santong was heartbroken and no longer sought treatment for his injuries.

    The impotent injuries of the seniors in the Spirit Medicine Valley can be cured with a single pill from my son.

    How could Mu Yang not see the gap?

    He was stupid to stay in the Elixir Valley.

    "Senior, I want to serve my son, and I can't stay in the Spirit Medicine Valley." Mu Yang, who was holding the tripod, bowed slightly and said in a low voice.

    Mu Yang's words made the old man frown.

    Three or two elixir trees are nothing. He made a noise just now because he really took a fancy to Mu Yang's aptitude.

    It's just that this kid doesn't seem to want to stay in the Elixir Valley.

    Shaking his head, the old man flicked his sleeves and said, "In that case, just settle the money when you leave."

    Practice pays attention to fate, and twisted melons are not sweet.

    If you don't want to keep anyone, then pay.

    The traditional Chinese medicines in the Spirit Medicine Valley are all treasures, and there is no reason to give them away for free.

    "I don't have money, but," Xu Cheng nodded, raised his hand and popped out a round pill: "I can use this to pay the bill."

    The old man reached out to grab the elixir, looked down, and was shocked.

    "Elixir?"

    He squinted his eyes, and there was a surge of breath in his body, which penetrated into the elixir on his fingertips.

    A faint medicinal fragrance permeated the air, and the old man stood there completely obsessed, muttering to himself.

    Xu Cheng chuckled, and led Mu Yang to turn around and leave the Spirit Medicine Valley.

    The elixir here is good, you can come here often in the future.

    That one elixir is believed to be enough to buy a lot of elixir.

    Just as he and Mu Yang went down the Herb Mountain, there was a sudden commotion in front of them, and then several figures rushed towards them.

    "Stop!"

    Someone roared and rushed straight over.

    "Stop!"

    "Where to escape!"

    Xu Cheng stopped in his tracks, and those who were dressed in the robes of the medicine hall disciples rushed to him.

    "What's the matter?" Xu Cheng took a look and asked lightly.

    "Uh" When asked by Xu Cheng, the leaders were stunned.

    They are here to watch the excitement.

    It's just that he ran too fast, and the owner fell behind.

    Senior Brother Zuo Yao, you haven't arrived yet.

    For a while, everyone was a little embarrassed.

    "You didn't pay for picking the medicine!" A sharp-eyed disciple in a green robe whispered to Xu Cheng.

    At this moment, both Xu Cheng and Mu Yang had a lot of herbs in their hands.

    "Yes, give me money."

    "That's right, we arrested you for money."

    A group of medicine hall disciples spoke out one after another.

    "Frost Spirit Grass, White Bone Branches, Sanyang Flower It costs at least five hundred silver coins."

    "Yes, bring five hundred silver coins."

    Xu Cheng shook his head, too lazy to bother with them, and raised his hand to take out a sapphire plaque.

    "Huafanju's travel order, if you want money, go to Huafanju to get it."

    Huafanju?

    Isn't that where the saint lives?

    This kid really has something to do with the saint!

    All the disciples looked ugly.

    "Hmph, Huafanju Walking has been vacant, I don't believenbsp; Shen Yuan stood by the pool, not knowing why for a while.

    With Yu Luo's relationship with her, he will not tell lies.

    But in the world, is there really someone who can point out a fourth-level pharmacist?  Should that be a fifth-level pharmacist?

    In the frozen and snowy land, there is a fifth-level pharmacist?

    What is the origin of Yu Luoxuan's walking?

    She thought for a while, and seeing that Yu Luo was still having fun, she turned and left Huafanju, heading towards Yaoshan.

    There is a senior in the Elixir Valley, she is going to ask for advice.

    With that senior's insight, he must be able to know something.

    In the upper reaches of the small river outside the outer gate, many handymen are erecting wooden stakes.

    All kinds of wood and iron materials are sent here.

    "Boom——"

    Suddenly there was a sound, and a long log fell into the water.

    "Who asked you to build a residence here?" An inner disciple in a white robe shouted with a sullen face.

    Those handymen hurriedly stopped their work and turned to look at Gao Chong not far away.

    Gao Chong also heard the sound and strode over.

    "Senior brother, my son is building a residence here, and the sect has reported this matter."

    He reported in the name of Shao Santong's deacon.

    "Young master?" The inner disciple frowned, looked at Gao Chong's outer clothes, and said with a sneer, "This is where we often come to fish, and there are also deacons and elders who come here for leisure."

    "No residences are allowed here."

    Hearing his words, Gao Chong said calmly: "Sorry, we are already under construction."

    The disciple was taken aback.

    Are mere outer disciples so arrogant?

    He raised his hand, and swung the fishing rod towards Gao Chong.

    "Outer disciples dare to be disrespectful!"

    Seeing the fishing rod being thrown, Gao Chong lowered his head, raised his hand and drew his sword, and then raised the edge of the sword.

    "Canglang——"

    The bamboo pole was chopped off.

    Then he kept stepping forward, swiped forward, and pointed the long sword towards the face of the inner disciple in front of him.

    This sword was fast and light, causing the disciple's complexion to change drastically, and he stepped back.

    "Wow——"

    The inner disciple stepped on the ground and fell into the river.

    "Inner disciples, that's all." Gao Chong retracted his sword slowly, then turned his head to look at the sluggish servants.

    "Continue to build! ?

 Body 592【Slave Trade】

    Not only this time, but they didn't have any good momentum before. Although even now they are still the main team competing for a place in the playoffs, they first lost to Samsara, then Wind Howl and Thunder, and even in  Lost in both battles with Miracle, even if Miracle appeared in that match, but losing is losing.  That round was a resounding slap to Void, but how could such a Void have the rhythm of rushing to the crown?

    "What is our goal for this season?" Li Xuan looked at his teammates who were in a depressed mood and said.

    I already made a mistake before, now facing Xingxin, do I have to make another mistake?

    "Are we really going to lose 0 to 10 to the opponent?" Li Xuan repeated this question again, after all, the current situation of the players is not good.

    "No" all the team members of Void replied, but they could only answer in this way.

    "Then cheer up, the game is not over yet." Li Xuan said, after all, everyone must adjust their emotions at this time.

    "Yes" everyone in the void responded.

    "Zhaolan, it's up to you next. Come on! Play our void!" Li Xuan said to Ge Zhaolan of his team.

    "Okay." Ge Zhaolan nodded, adjusted his mentality, and played after the break!

    Ge Zhaolan is an ammunition expert in the void, and her character id is full transparency.

    As soon as I heard the id of this character, I knew that it must have something to do with the translucence that played before, and it was indeed the case. These two characters were brought in by the first generation of Void players in the early days of Void.  After that, it has been kept until now, because now these two are the roles of the team, so naturally they are assigned by the team to the current operator.

    After Zhang Jiale retired, Baihua also wanted to recruit ammunition expert players from other places, but Baihua would rather recruit one from the training camp instead of inviting ammunition expert players from other teams.  A no-no for active-duty ammunition specialist contestants.  It's not that they're bad, they're just not good enough

    And this Ge Zhaolan was one of the ammunition experts who was rejected by Baihua at the beginning, so Ge ??Zhaolan didn't pay much attention to this, after all, he himself was quite an ambitious person, and he had a very clear understanding of himself and his position.  This kind of thing has no effect on him except as an additive for him to work harder.

    Moreover, he himself has no intention of leaving the void, and now is the time when the team needs his contribution.

    Now they are 0 to 3 behind in the individual competition, and the group arena after that is their main target.  Because he was the starter, there was no need to consider the existence of Tang Yin, Xingxin's gatekeeper at the end.  So he just needs to show his momentum and win the first game.

    As for Tang Yin, just like Ye Xiu who is now an undisciplined individual, until now the major teams have no way to deal with him.  This person is obviously a rookie who just debuted, but on the field, he gave people a sense of incomprehension that Zhou Zekai had in the eighth season.  So Yu Tangyin's current method is still the superimposed advantage of simple violence, hoping to defeat him in the end.

    As for Xingxin's appearance in the group arena, they have almost touched it.  But when the list of players was announced, the players in the void were all in a bad mood.  The reason is very simple, this time Xingxin's starting debut is not Tang Rou, but Su Mucheng!

    Happy's sudden change was something they didn't expect. After all, Mucheng and Ye Xiu only appeared in the individual competition before.  As a result, since Tang Rou was not starting Xingxin this time, but Su Mucheng was suddenly changed to Xingxin, this time it was really caught off guard.

    Although they were already very puzzled that Su Mucheng did not appear in the individual competition, they were still a little surprised when they saw Su Mucheng appearing suddenly, and most importantly, they were still unprepared.

    But thinking about it carefully, it is reasonable for Xingxin to have such a lineup change, although Tang Rou's previous performance was also very impressive, and even played two 1v2 records.  This can be said to be very rare for a rookie.

    But now with the progress of the game, everyone has become more familiar with the style of play of rookies like Tang Rou and the like. Some small mistakes that have appeared in the past are naturally not easy to reappear. On the contrary, Tang Rou and the others think that the flaws have been mastered by them.

    And Tang Yin and the others are also very clear that although Tang Rou and Baozi have very special styles of play, it is still difficult to break the rookie wall.  So starting to arrange their lineup now will not be as rigid as before, waiting for others to target.

    But the result of this is that the current group arena is even more difficult. You must know that Tang Yin himself is a headache for the big teams. If there is another Su Mucheng, then this group arena will really be a bit painful.

    And this time the mapI also chose a relatively open map. At first glance, it is the terrain with a wide field of vision that Su Mucheng and Tang Rou like. The only obstacles and bunkers can be destroyed by the gunner's firepower. That's right, Xingxin's  The second player to play was Tang Rou, and this map was completely chosen by her. As for Tang Yin, one was her only successful apprentice, and the other was her daughter-in-law.  Then how can he intervene in the selection of pictures?

    Of course, Tang Rou and the others also messed around a lot. After all, no one dared to play their temper in the competition, it depends on the mood.  After all, she still has confidence in Tang Yin's strength. After all, Tang Yin, like Ye Xiu, doesn't care much about the terrain. Anyway, they can play perfectly on any terrain.

    After the characters on both sides are loaded, they both move directly to the middle of the map. For ammunition experts, this profession itself has no strict requirements on the map.  And this Ge Zhaolan, who was denied by Hundred Blossoms, didn't have any particularly distinctive style of play.  On the contrary, everything seemed quite satisfactory.  This can be seen from his simple operation of moving directly to the middle of the map.

    This is not to say that there is anything wrong with such a simple style of play, but just like what Xiao Shiqin said to Sun Xiang before.  After all, it is difficult for mediocre players to create miracles and make breakthroughs.

    And his opponent is the resident population of the All-Stars, the current No. 1 Glory Gunner, Su Mucheng.

    As soon as the two sides met, the advantages and disadvantages of the situation were reflected.

    Of course, the reason that directly leads to such a scene is not simply the difference in strength between the two sides. If the winner is really determined according to the strength of the players on paper, then what is the point of the game?  Paper strength has never been an absolute value in competitive events.

    What really troubled them was Su Mucheng's change

    "Leave the idle ship, retreat the idle ship!"

    On the Yangtze River, the Datong Navy, which has not existed for a long time, suddenly mobilized collectively this winter.

    More than 300 large and small warships sailed towards Nanjing in a mighty way, and the governor of the Datong Navy Gu Jianshan personally led the team.

    More and more people gathered at the pier to watch the excitement, and they didn't know what happened, and some even suspected that there was a rebellion somewhere.

    Immediately, the police force in Nanjing was dispatched.

    Three steps and one post, five departments and one post, from the pier to the Forbidden City.

    Fei Ruyi sat in a palanquin, summoned friends and came, all standing at the pier watching strangely.  This guy's opium addiction has been forcibly given up. During the detoxification period, he almost died. After that, his temperament changed a lot and subsided a lot.

    "The idle retreat, the idle retreat!"

    The ones who came this time were actually the guards of the imperial city, they are rarely dispatched

    Whether they were business travelers or passers-by, they were all driven to the side of the road, as if some important person wanted to pass.

    Many officials came again, even the ladies in the palace.

    The warships of the Datong Navy docked one after another, and many merchant ships that were berthed at the dock were ordered to leave temporarily to make room for the naval warships.

    This battle was too outrageous, and the common people became more and more curious.

    Gu Jianshan was sitting on the deck of the flagship supervising the formation, and Qian Qianyi and other officials from the Imperial Academy and Qintian Academy also got off the naval battleship.

    The officers and soldiers of the navy and the guards of the imperial city lifted boxes one by one from the ship.

    Every box must be opened and inspected when landing, and handed over after confirming that it is correct.

    I only heard an official shout: "The bibliography of Wenyuan Pavilion in Beijing has a total of 43,200 volumes. There are many lost volumes, and only 10,237 volumes are left. Now hand over the books of the imperial annotations made by the former Ming emperor, as well as the books of etiquette, law, politics, education and real records of the former Ming emperor. "Ming Tai  The first revised version of Zu Shilu is completely lost; the second revised version has 165 volumes and 183 volumes, all of which are well preserved; the third revised version has 250 volumes and 257 volumes, and 248 volumes and 255 and a half volumes are in existence. Please check and hand over!"

    One box after another is opened for inspection, and each box must be counted three times.

    The shouting made the onlookers excited, and all the books shipped on board were Beijing Imperial City Books.

    At the same time, it is a pity that there are more than 40,000 volumes in the Beijing Wenyuan Pavilion bibliography, and less than 30% of them are preserved today.

    It was not destroyed by war, but by poor preservation.

    Some were eaten by moths, and some were moldy and rotten.  In addition, the cabinet and officials of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty often took advantage of their positions to return the Wenyuan Pavilion collection of books to their own homes.

    Ordinary people gradually dispersed, but scholars gathered more and more.

    Finally, the official shouted: "The "Yongle Canon" has a total of 11,095 volumes, 60 volumes of catalogues, and 22,877 volumes of text. The first draft has been destroyed in Nanjing Wenyuan Pavilion, all originals are lost, and all copies are intact. Please check and hand over!"

    The onlookers stand on tiptoes, wanting to see what the "Yongle Dadian" looks like.

    When Li Zicheng left Beijing, he let go of burning down the imperial palace, but the area of ??the fire was not large, and the Manchu emperor lived in it after minor repairs.

    Therefore, the original version of "Yongle Dadian" cannot be destroyed in the flames of war.

    However, it is true that there is not a single volume left in the original copy. The biggest suspicion is Jiajing, and it is very likely that the entire set of "Yongle Dadian" was buried with him.

    Before Jiajing, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty didn't take "Yongle Dadian" seriously, and even Zhu Di himself didn't bother to read it.

    ▽  This is the most important thing to do./p&gt;

    Only Jiajing loves "Yongle Dadian" and often carries it with him to read. There are a lot of proven prescriptions in this book, which can be used for alchemy and Taoism.

    In Jiajing's later years, a copy of "Yongle Dadian" was suddenly copied.  In the second year after Jiajing's death, the original copy was kept in Wenyuan Pavilion, and the copy was kept in Huangshicheng.  But since then, the original has never been found, and no one has mentioned it again.

    ?For three days in a row, the acceptance and handover was going on outside the city of Nanjing.

    In the end, more than 60 boxes were moved out, all of which were defective books, moth-eaten, moldy, and burned It needs to be repaired and supplemented by the Imperial Academy and Qintian Academy as much as possible.

    Court meeting.

    Qian Qianyi led the doctors of the Imperial Academy to come out, and said, "Please revise and compile a set of "Minshi Canon" on the basis of "Yongle Canon". It is this "Yongle Canon", when the veterans were reading it in Beijing, they also found  There are many mistakes and omissions, and it has to be revised."

    "allow!"

    ? Zhao Handao: "After the compilation of "History of the Ming Dynasty" is completed, we will edit the "Minist History"nbsp; "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, don't squeeze the original work of Shixian!"

    Xiang Yuanbian shouted anxiously, and quickly put away the scroll, for fear that the treasure would be damaged.

    Qian Qianyi roared angrily: "Everyone back down! Wait for the authentic works of Shixian to hang up, and then come and admire them one by one!"

    Everyone retreated quickly, Xiang Yuanbian hung the treasure on the wall, separated by a stool in the middle, and everyone could only stand three feet away to admire it.

    In addition to the Museum of Literature and History, readers of other museums of the Imperial Academy were also alarmed one after another.

    It is really three floors inside and three floors outside. This is Li Bai's only authentic work handed down from generation to generation.  Before today, they had never heard of it, and some people copied it out of thin air with their fingers on the spot.

    Wang Tiaoding, the top leader of the Imperial Academy, also came to the scene quickly.

    Wang Tiaoding looked at it for a while: "Bring the pen and ink, and if you want to copy it, do it as soon as possible. It must be collected before evening, and it will be presented to His Majesty tomorrow. Putting it here will lead to nights and dreams. If it is stolen, I can't afford it."

    So the tables and chairs were placed around the treasures, and no one was allowed to cross the boundary. One by one, the Mongolian children, who were like just characters, copied Li Taibai's authentic works repeatedly.

    There are waste papers being thrown on the ground, and people are constantly lamenting that they are not satisfied with themselves.

    ?I kept copying until the evening, but everyone still refused to leave. Wang Tiaoding could only extend the time, and finally came over with a wind lamp for lighting.

    The next day, Xiang Yuanbian and his brothers, with their collections of treasures, were successfully summoned by the emperor.  To provide you with the fastest update, 597 free reading.

    The two brothers Xiang Yuanbian and Xiang Dushou followed the female official into the Forbidden City, keeping their eyes on their noses and their hearts on the way, not daring to look around.

    Instead of passing through the three main halls, it went around to the Royal Library on the east side of Qianqing Palace.

    The hall where they face saints is not big. The emperor is resting today and is sitting there reading a collection of books shipped from Beijing some time ago.

    Seeing a man sitting in the hall, Xiang Yuanbian felt extremely majestic, and bowed his head before he could see his face clearly.

    "Little citizen Xiang Yuanbian, I greet Your Majesty!" The two bowed side by side.

    Zhao Han raised his head and smiled, "Sit down."

    Two female officers moved the chairs, and the two brothers said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Zhao Han asked: "I heard that you have the authentic works of Shixian?"

    Xiang Yuanbian immediately stood up again and untied the long bag behind his back.  The bag was checked by the guard, and after confirming that it was a scroll, he asked him to bring it in

    Li Xiangjun walked over, took it carefully, and slowly unfolded it in front of Zhao Han's case.

    Zhao Han's first reaction was not to appreciate Li Bai's calligraphy, but to look at the surrounding seals and inscriptions.

    Densely packed, everywhere.

    Fortunately, Qianlong's inscription and seal are not there, and it looks much cleaner.

    Historically, Qianlong built a pile by himself, and two of the emperor's seals were particularly large. The area of ??one of his seals was equivalent to several others.  He built one when he was the emperor, and another when he was the emperor, and they were neatly arranged, crowded there for fear that others would not see them.

    At this moment, admiring Song Huizong's thin gold body and seal, Zhao Han suddenly had an urge to put his own big seal on Li Bai's authentic work.

    "Are you going to dedicate this painting to me?" Zhao Han raised his head and asked.

    Xiang Yuanbian stood up again, and cupped his hands: "Such rare treasures, ordinary people dare not covet them, only the Holy Son of Heaven can get them."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I am not a person who steals by chance, and I can't set this precedent for my descendants. If the people have treasures, they will take them for themselves. Isn't that a broken rule? Compared with Jiangshan Sheji, the authentic works of poets are nothing.  "

    "Your Majesty is holy!"

    While Xiang Yuanbian was in doubt, he also admired the emperor.

    He obtained the "Shangyang Tie" a few years ago. At that time, there was a severe drought in Zhejiang, and a broken family sold it to him.  When Xiang Yuanbian saw this post for the first time, greed was born in his heart, and he decided to keep it for himself no matter what.  If the negotiation with the other party fails, you will have to take it down if you seek money and kill yourself!

    Thinking of his original thoughts, and comparing the indifference of the emperor in front of him, Xiang Yuanbian was deeply moved.

    It's no wonder that others can be emperors, but I can only rely on my family wealth to collect.

    Xiang Yuanbian continued: "Your Majesty, this is not a plunder by chance, but a sincere contribution from the common people. The thieves caused disasters in the Northwest, the Tartars ravaged Liaodong, and the whole country was plagued by famine and plague.  , Sweeping away the turbidity, the universe is fixed, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Every time I think about this place, the people will admire inexplicably, and want to offer treasures and talk about respect.”

    "You're a conversationalist," Zhao Han said with a smile, "Your family has a large collection of books. As a local rich family, you have been given away a lot of land, right?"

    Xiang Yuanbian was startled, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, the common people also read the "Datong Collection" day and night, knowing that the division of land is the national policy of our new dynasty in Datong. Aristocratic and powerful families have accumulated countless lands, while poor people have no place to stand.  The source of disaster and chaos in the world. Your Majesty's division of land is for the sake of the people and for the great clan. If the land is not divided, no matter how much the rich clan has, if there is a rebellion by the bandits, it will be nothing but the death of the family. Even though the small people are separated  Tens of thousands of acres of land, but I don't hate His Majesty, but think that His Majesty is the savior of Xiaomin!"

    Zhao Han laughed loudly: "What a sharp tooth."

    Xiang Yuanbian said: "It's not just eloquence, it's sincerity."

    Zhao Han thought this person was very interesting, and said with a smile: "I know your intentions, but this precedent must not be set. Firstly, the descendants may follow suit and plunder private property; secondly, there may be many lucky ones in the world.  They all want to offer treasures in exchange for wealth."

    Xiang Yuanbian couldn't guess what Zhao Han was thinking, so he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty's words are true. The Holy Son of Heaven has a far-sighted vision beyond the reach of ordinary people."

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully: "Let's do this, this year the imperial treasury has quite a surplus, so I'll accept this authentic work of the Immortal Poem for 10,000 taels. This priceless treasure, even 10,000 taels is not enough, so you can make another request. Note  To live, you can’t ask for an official, you can’t ask for a title, and you can’t ask for a field.”

    ▽灉 €/p&gt;

    Xiang Yuanbian looked carefully at the emperor's expression and felt that he was not lying to himself, so hebsp; Fei Rulan copied the painting while holding her sleeve, without raising her head: "It's next door."

    Zhao Han walked over to watch the two girls painting, laughed and went to the next door to find Liu Rushi.

    Liu Rushi was reading, and when she saw Zhao Han coming in, she smiled and said, "Husband, the Wenyuan Pavilion in the Ming Dynasty still has the "Old Tang Book". I have always wanted to read this book, but unfortunately I don't know who to borrow it from."

    Sometimes, it cannot be blamed that the scholars of the Ming Dynasty were ignorant and ignorant. Many books that can be seen everywhere in later generations will never be seen by scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

    For example, "Old Tang Book", which is not official history at this time, has not been circulated since the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty.

    It was not until the Jiajing period that Wang Yangming, a well-known writer, accidentally discovered "Old Tang Book" while borrowing books in Suzhou. This history book was rediscovered after hundreds of years.

    Zhao Han asked: "What do you think after reading it?"

    Liu Rushi: "After reading the "Old Book of Tang", I feel that the "New Book of Tang" is making up stories, and it is extremely crude and absurd. But, "Old Book of Tang" is a little too detailed. In some places, it seems that the  The Records of Emperors of the Tang Dynasty were transcribed intact."

    Zhao Han sighed: "The history of Tang Dynasty also needs to be surveyed."

    These historiographical works belong to the responsibility of a newly established dynasty, and Chinese civilization has continued in this way.

 Text 599 [The head of the country]

    There are quite a few people who contributed books. Bibliophiles from the northern and southern provinces brought their bibliographies to the Imperial Academy one after another, and found at least a thousand unique copies at a time.

    ? Including Lead Mountain Fischer.

    Fei Yinghuan and Lou's couple, taking the opportunity of offering a book, came to Nanjing to visit relatives. They hadn't seen their daughter for several years.

    Walking in the alleys of the Forbidden City, Mrs. Lou looked at the majestic palace walls and couldn't help but sigh, "Going back for more than ten years, I never thought it would be like this. I was almost fainted when I heard that He'er rebelled in Luling  I'm afraid it will lead to disaster."

    "Madam still has courage. If my husband is at home, I will definitely cut off contact with He'er immediately." Fei Yinghuan smiled and said

    In the past few years, Fei Yinghuan has been really unrestrained, he doesn't care about anything, and lives in Hangzhou with his wife and young son, enjoying peace and happiness.  He has already visited the scenic spots in Hangzhou, and occasionally went to Suzhou, and even went to climb mountains in southern Zhejiang.

    Not far behind, dozens of poems come out every year, regardless of whether the abbot of the country is good or not, Hangzhou literati will rush to pass them on.

    The couple were taken to a courtyard in the southeast of the Forbidden City, where they stayed tonight.  The quilts were all replaced with new ones, and some court ladies were sent to wait on them temporarily, and they will wait until tomorrow to attack and visit relatives.

    There is an area in the Forbidden City where foreign ministers can live, mainly in the following situations

    First, if the cabinet ministers and central staff need to work overtime in an emergency, it is inconvenient to go home at night, so they stay in a specific room.

    Second, ministers are temporarily summoned to discuss matters with the emperor until night, and they can also stay overnight in the Forbidden City.

    The maids in charge of serving the couple are not the maids of the harem, but more similar to the servants in the Forbidden City.  The leading female officer took out a waist card and said, "Your Majesty has an order. If the head of state wants to read books, he can go to Wenyuan Pavilion to borrow books. This is a library card."

    Fei Yinghuan couldn't sit still when she got the library card.

    Lou smiled and said, "Go, I'll walk around here."

    Fei Yinghuan went out with the female official. The female official seemed to have received an order to be a tour guide for the king all the way.  Move in after the age."

    The Hall of Spring Harmony, the Prince's East Palace, is not far from the Wenhua Hall where the cabinet works.

    Fei Yinghuan smiled and nodded, the prince, his good grandson.

    After walking for a while, the female officer pointed to the front, "This is the Wenhua Palace, where the cabinet ministers and Zhongshu Sheren work here on weekdays."

    Cabinet?

    Fei Yinghuan, who had never been a court official in his life, was a little jealous when he heard the name of the cabinet, and asked, "Can I go shopping?"

    "Yes." The female officer smiled and led the way.

    The Forbidden City in Nanjing, in some details, is different from the Forbidden City in Beijing that has been constantly revised, and it is also very different from the Forbidden City in the Qing Dynasty.

    The Wenhua Palace in the Ming Dynasty was originally the prince's office and the place where the prince studied and studied, so it is relatively close to the East Palace.  If a cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty was suddenly named a scholar of the Wenhua Palace, and the emperor was still in poor health, it can generally be understood as a minister of Tuogu.

    In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the princes were often young, and even the emperor deliberately did not appoint a prince.  For example, Jiajing, in the early years, did not establish a prince, so the prince site of Wenhua Palace was abolished and became the place where the emperor held sutra banquets. Jiajing also built a side hall here to store medicines for alchemy.

    The change in the function of the Wenhua Palace marked the complete collapse of the prince training mechanism in the Ming Dynasty, and the prince could not be familiar with government affairs before he ascended the throne.

    Now, Zhao Han directly identified Wenhua Palace as the cabinet office.

    The main worship hall, the east and west side halls, and the Chuanxin hall where Confucius was sacrificed before the banquet were all transformed into cabinet offices.  Although there are still many vacant offices, as the affairs of the state become more complicated, those vacant offices will definitely come in handy.  It is not like the Ming Dynasty, where offices were added all the time, and some cabinet offices were even moved outside the Forbidden City.

    Fei Yinghuan came back to his senses suddenly, and asked, "Where the Wenhua Palace has become the cabinet, will the prince's office be gone?"

    The female officer introduced, "On the west side of the Chunhe Hall, a new Yuanliang Hall has been built, which is the place where the prince takes care of affairs."

    Fei Yinghuan stepped into the side door of Wenhua Hall, and saw a Chinese scholar in the small courtyard.

    Zhongshu Sheren was holding a stack of documents, but he didn't take Fei Yinghuan seriously, thinking that he was a foreign minister who had been summoned to the cabinet to discuss politics.  He nodded to Fei Yinghuan, then started to trot again, as if he was busy delivering documents to some department.

    In each office here, there are many Zhongshusheren, and the secretaries in the Forbidden City are all called Zhongshusheren.  Not only the cabinet, but also the Royal Imperial Household and other departments.

    Fei Yinghuan walked around and saw all kinds of Zhongshu scholars, and they all seemed to be busy with their affairs.to enter directly.  Hmm the head of the country is in charge of the Jibu, so we can start from this aspect.  "

    Fei Yinghuan was overjoyed that he was appointed to be in charge of the collection department, making him one of the major deputy editors of the book.

    Just as Fei Yinghuan was about to get up to thank him, several female officials and maids ran over in a panic, "Your Majesty, the prince fought with someone, and was injured."

    Zhao Han smiled instead of anger, "It's very strange that someone dared to beat the crown prince. From my point of view, the crown prince might strike first. Ask why, and don't punish those children indiscriminately. It's normal for children to fight.  It’s not serious, it’s okay to make big things into small things.” To provide you with the fastest update, 599 free reading.

 Text 600【Huangcheng Primary School】

    One-click direct access to .com Chinese domain names

    Huangcheng Primary School will start classes this summer.

    For the time being, there are only the first grade of elementary school, with two classes in total, 30 students in each class.

    The teaching materials are similar to those of private schools, but an additional interest class is added every day.  Music, painting, archery, swords, military formations, etc., seven days a week, with one day off every week, interest classes come in rotation on a daily basis.

    The lecturers are all famous teachers and great scholars.

    Martial arts subjects are taught by the emperor's personal guards.

    Every morning, there is also a gymnastics session, where the teacher plays Baduanjin with the students.  There is no physical education class, and the sword formation in the interest course is physical education.

    For this reason, student dormitories and teachers' dormitories were specially built next to Huangcheng Primary School.

    Students live in dormitories and can only go home on Sundays.  Even princes and princesses, as long as they go to school, they must stay in the dormitory, and the maids are not allowed to accompany them to serve them. If there is anything, they can find the female dormitory officer.

    The location of Huangcheng Primary School and dormitory is very interesting.  Going north through the Meridian Gate is the Forbidden City, and going south through the Chengtian Gate is the central yamen, which are next to the Sheji Altar, Taimiao, Yinghun Temple, Emperor Temple and other buildings.  Occasionally, there are naughty students who will go to the Taimiao to hang out. Once they are caught, they will be slapped.

    "Whoa, whoa!"

    The female officer who is in charge of the dormitory will blow a whistle to remind the students to get up at 6:40 every morning.

    There are forty minutes for dressing, washing and eating.

    At 7:20, teachers will come and take the students to the playground to play Baduanjin.  The so-called playground is actually the square in front of the Sheji Altar. In case of major sacrificial activities, the square will be full of civil and military officials.

    Zhao Kuanghuan got up with a yawn. Two roommates were already getting dressed, and one was fast asleep.

    In the student dormitory, four people live in one room.

    Princes and princesses also have to live with other people. This way, they can make more friends and take care of each other in their study and life.  Of course, whoever the prince and princess live in the same dormitory must be allocated by drawing lots. Generally, the emperor personally presides over the drawing of lots, and the dormitory will be reassigned every six months.  .

    Zhao Han felt that it was better to hang out with students of the same age all day than the prince of the Ming Dynasty grew up with eunuchs.

    "Zhang Fang, get up soon!" He Qianji shouted.

    Zhang Fang wrapped the quilt tighter, huddled in the bed, and said in a daze: "Sleep a little longer, sleep a little longer."

    Zhao Kuanghuan had already dressed, took a toothbrush, tooth powder and a towel, and went outside to clean and wash.  There is a water well in the cafeteria. Every morning, hot water will be boiled and carried to the courtyard of the dormitory for the students to use.

    ?It snowed last night, and the handyman maid was cleaning, and a passage had been cleared in the snow outside the door.

    "Huh, it's so cold!" Liu Guozhen shuddered as soon as he went out.

    Zhao Kuanghuan, Liu Guozhen, He Qianji and Zhang Fang are roommates in the same dormitory.  Except for Zhao Kuanghuan who is the prince, the other three are all the sons of ministers in the court.

    When selecting students for Huangcheng Primary School, Manchao Wenwu broke the lead and grabbed the places.

    In the end, it was Zhao Han who came forward and asked the officials of the fifth rank and above to report the names of the children aged seven to ten in the family and make a list.  And regardless of their children, each person can only report one, and send it to the emperor to draw lots for a decision.

    Most of them reported their son's name, but the emperor said that there must be female students.

    In this way, there were only a few who reported their daughters, and they were 100% selected.

    This made the ministers very regretful. If they had known earlier, they should have sent their daughters to study. If they had cultivated a good relationship with the prince since childhood, they might be able to become queens in the future.

    Zhao Kuanghuan had already finished washing up, and Zhang Fang, a slob, got up and asked while dressing, "Who borrowed me to copy someone's math homework?"

    "On the table, take it yourself." Zhao Kuanghuan said.

    Zhang Fang smiled shyly: "Hey, Kuang Huan is still a good friend."

    Zhao Han stipulated that during the school period, he was not allowed to address princes, princesses, princes and the like.

    He Qianji is nine years old this year and is the son of He Yan, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.  At a young age, but like an adult, he advised, "Kuang Huan, you can't lend him your homework to copy. Sir, leave homework every day to improve our studies. Moreover, the word homework was personally decided by His Majesty, and plagiarizing homework is a crime."  It is disrespectful to His Majesty."

    Zhao Kuanghuan laughed and said, "It's okay to copy it once or twice."

    "No, if there is one, there are two. Zhang Fang has copied it several times." He Qianji said.

    Zhang Fang suddenly became unhappy: "He Qianji, I copied Kuanghuan's homework, what's your business? Although my father's official rank is one level lower than yours, I'm not afraid of you. Let's fight if we have the guts!"

    He Qianji cupped his hands and bowed: "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands."

    &??Fourth grade official title.

    Zhang Chunqin has nothing to repay the great kindness of the Holy Son of Heaven. He vowed to manage Huangcheng Primary School well, and he even treated the prince as his grandson.

    Grandson, hit him when you need to!

    Seeing Zhang Chunqin leave, all the children breathed a sigh of relief.

    Zhao Kuanghuan couldn't help but glance at the next table.  Although he is only ten years old this year and has not yet reached the age of first love, he still has a heart of love for the opposite sex.

    The little girl with her back facing him across the table is the daughter of Qiao Hongdao, a household doctor.  Smart, excellent in studies, and beautiful, in Zhao Kuanghuan's eyes, he is perfect.

    The more I like it in my heart, the more indifferent I will behave, and I can't let others know my secret.  But sometimes, I can't help raising my voice, trying to deliberately attract the other party's attention.

    Zhao Kuanghuan's current dream is to re-segregate classes next year and put him in the same class as his sweetheart.

    After breakfast, the children ran to the playground.

    The morning exercise instructor is already waiting there.

    "Call!"

    As soon as the whistle sounded, the students lined up quickly, and the instructor chanted the slogan in the infantry drills, instructing the students to line up neatly and collectively do the health-preserving gymnastics of Baduanjin.

    Even a few teachers came to follow along.

    "Stand up!"

    "Hi sir!"

    "Hello students!"

    All this set was brought over by Zhao Han, no one objected, respecting the teacher.

    Huang Zongxi sat down upright, took out his textbook and said: "Today, I will learn eight sentences from "The Analects of Confucius". The boy opened the textbook."

    Huang Zongxi is also a member of the Imperial Academy and has been in charge of compiling books.  After Huangcheng Elementary School started, he came to work as a Chinese teacher, teaching in the morning and returning to work in the Imperial Academy in the afternoon.  Anyway, no one urged him, and those sets of books could be compiled for another twenty years.

    In elementary school courses, there are only excerpts from the Four Books. Unlike before, the entire set of Four Books has to be read.

    Many famous articles were also selected, including poems and prose, especially Tang Dynasty poems.

    Huang Zongxi asked: "Who will recite it?"

    "I!"

    More than half of the students in the class quickly raised their little hands.

    The learning atmosphere is very good, and ministers are looking forward to their children to stand out.  Therefore, most of those who sent to the school to enroll chose smart and studious children from home.

    A lazy guy like Zhang Fang is purely because the eldest son is over the age, and the youngest son is too young, so he can only bite the bullet and choose a bastard to come to Huangcheng Elementary School for a year to get acquainted.

    "He Qianji, come and read aloud." Huang Zongxi picked his favorite student.

    He Qianji stood up with the book, shook his head and began to read: "Master said, learning and practicing it from time to time, isn't it easy to say? It's a joy to have friends coming from afar"

    "Very good, sit down." Huang Zongxi nodded with a smile.

    In fact, Huang Zongxi was a little helpless. He really didn't want to waste time talking about such a basic thing.

    It is conceivable that a well-known university professor would go to teach the first grade of elementary school.

    Moreover, more than 60% of the students have already learned it at home, and the students sound boring.

    But this is a textbook formulated by the Ministry of Rites, and I have to talk about it.  If the lectures are not finished next to each other, students will have different knowledge at home. This student will learn less, and that student will learn less, and the overall situation will become very bad.

    Especially Pinyin, which has only been around for a few years, and most students have never been exposed to it at home.

    The first class in school is to learn pinyin, and gradually master the method of looking up the dictionary.  .

    After an explanation, Huang Zongxi asked: "Who else didn't understand?"

    No one spoke.

    Huang Zongxi added: "Read what you just said ten times as a group."

    So the children began to read aloud, shaking their heads.  A small number of people are not in the mood to study, holding up the textbooks and rolling their eyes, and their minds have already flown to after class.

    To tell the truth, the elementary school textbooks are terribly compiled, and at the end of the first semester, I have been exposed to excerpts from "The Analects of Confucius".

    The children of the rich and powerful can naturally keep up with the progress, but the children of the poor have to start from not knowing a word, and "learn and practice" after half a year.

    This kind of enlightenment education follows the consistent practice of ancient times.

    Many of the "Three Character Classics", "Thousand Character Classics", and "Primary Four Books" specially used for enlightenment have also been selected and included in primary school textbooks.

    After reading ten times aloud, Huang Zongxi said again: "Take out the pen and paper, and practice the new characters by yourself. If anyone doesn't understand, come up and ask yourself, or pretend to know if you don't know. These eight Analects of Confucius must be taken at the end of the semester.  If it’s broken, I’ll definitely be punished by my parents when I go home.”

    As soon as this remark came out, the children who didn't like to study finally became alert, and soon a few went to ask the teacher.

    The rest of the students are all practicing calligraphy, which is not only practicing new characters, but also practicing calligraphy.

    This Chinese class lasted for a full hour, and it was finally time for get out of class to end.

    The playful children ran out of the classroom cheering and playing the game of officials and thieves together.  The girls also took out shuttlecocks or small balls and kicked them together.

    Zhang Tingxun was in the next class, rushed to the door of the classroom, and shouted to Zhao Kuanghuan: "Come out and have a snowball fight!"

    "Come on, come on!" Zhao Kuanghuan cheered up.

    ?It snowed heavily last night, and the snow was swept to the wall, with piles in the east and west, which happened to be a snowball fight for the boys.

    Fei Ruhe's daughter, Fei Shuyi, and Li Banghua's granddaughter, Li Shanxiang, all went to make snowmen with the girls.  Fei Chun's son, Fei Liangyan, is a dull gourd who doesn't like to talk.  Xu Yingzhang, Xu Ying's son, is weak in writing and looks like a bookworm.

    Zhao Kuanghuan's identity is there, and there is always a gap between him and his classmates.

    Therefore, Zhang Tingxun, the son of Zhang Tieniu, became the king of children in Huangcheng Primary School.  The little guy raised his arms and shouted, thirty?? 

    "What a coincidence." Zhang Fang laughed.

    It's okay not to laugh, but it's even worse if you laugh, it's obviously provocative.  They were all children, so Lu Yicheng couldn't bear it, so he pushed Zhang Fang angrily.

    Zhang Fang fell down and yelled, "Students from Class 2, beat our students from Class 1!"

    Zhang Fang is usually very popular, and immediately attracted his classmates to gather, and a group of people gathered around Lu Yicheng to ask for an explanation.

    Lu Yicheng was speechless, his face flushed with anger.

    Zhang Tingxun was in the same class as Lu Yicheng, and wanted to stand up for Lu Yicheng, but seeing that it was Zhao Kuanghuan's roommate who caused the dispute, he could only ask: "What's going on?"

    Lu Yicheng said: "He threw snowballs at me twice in a row."

    Zhang Fang said, "What a coincidence."

    "Nonsense!" Lu Yicheng was furious.

    ? Zhao Kuanghuan didn't know what to do. On the one hand, he felt that Zhang Fang's behavior was very unethical, and on the other hand, he felt that Zhang Fang's actions were very relieving.

    Facing Zhang Fang's playful smile and the denunciation of other students, Lu Yicheng couldn't bear it, and pushed Zhang Fang down who stood up.  This time it was really pushed down, and it took a lot of strength.

    This move became the trigger. First, Zhang Fang got up and scuffled with Lu Yicheng, and then the students from Class 2 and Class 1 fought in groups.

    They are all the children of the rich and powerful, who is afraid of whom?

    Of course, no one dared to beat the prince.

    Since no one beat the prince, the guards in charge of protecting the safety only stood up a little closer, trying to remind the prince to keep a distance to avoid being hurt.

    But our prince got excited, it's really interesting to fight in groups.

    Usually when practicing battle formations, when catching each other and fighting each other, the students all held back their strength, and His Royal Highness was invincible all over the elementary school.

    Now it's finally getting real, His Royal Highness is eager to try - this has nothing to do with jealousy, it's purely His Royal Highness wanting to fight.

    Suddenly someone was pushed back and bumped into Zhao Kuanghuan's chest.

    Zhao Kuanghuan found an opportunity to attack and punched it.  The man was punched, but he didn't see who it was, so he used the Pegasus Meteor King Eight Fist, swinging both fists wildly at the prince.

    The prince, who was superb in martial arts, was blinded by a bastard punch, and the corners of his eyes were bruised from the fists.

    "Stop, stop quickly, the prince is injured!"

    The guards were frightened out of their wits, and finally took action to stop the students from fighting.  The fastest update of the error-free novel reading, please visit the mobile phone, please visit ?

    Fei Rulan held the hot towel in her own hands, hugged her son in her arms, and activated the blood to remove blood stasis in the corners of his eyes. She kept asking, "Where does it still hurt? Can you see clearly?"

    "Mother, it doesn't hurt anymore." Although Zhao Kuanghuan was beaten, he was very happy in his heart. He finally had a real fight, and no one would let him this time.

    Lou Shi also stood by, looking at his grandson worriedly, what if it breaks?

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Is there any boy who doesn't bump into bumps? It's just a bruise, and the doctor said it's not a serious problem. Don't spoil him as a coward."

    But Fei Rulan said: "When it is blue, there will be congestion, this is what the doctor said!"

    Zhao Han was speechless.

    The female officer came up to inquire about the transcripts. This matter was very formal, and dozens of students all made transcripts.

    That kid Zhang Fang was very righteous, and he didn't confess that the prince had a crush on a girl.  It was only said that Lu Yicheng often played with girls, he couldn't understand it very much, so he took advantage of the snowball fight and hit the other party twice with a snowball.  He also said that one person does things and one person is responsible. This time the group fight has nothing to do with others, it was caused by him alone.

    Zhao Han asked: "How does the school plan to deal with it?"

    The female officer replied: "The gentlemen all proposed to expel Zhang Fang, but Principal Zhang interceded, saying that he could give Zhang Fang another chance to learn well."

    Zhao Han thought for a while: "Just do what Principal Zhang wants. There is also the student who injured the prince, but he didn't see that it was the prince. Just punish him for copying the text. There is no need to punish him severely."

    Principal room.

    Zhang Fang was downcast, knowing that he had caused a catastrophe.

    Zhang Chunqin said: "Your father already knows, just outside the city gate. Without His Majesty's permission, he cannot enter the Forbidden City."

    Zhang Fang shivered with fright, thinking of the tragedy of going home on the weekend, he immediately had a strong desire to stop time.

    Zhang Chunqin said again: "Gentlemen, I want to expel you."

    Zhang Fang wept bitterly: "If I really want to be fired, my father will beat me to death."

    Zhang Chunqin beckoned, "Come here."

    Zhang Fang took two steps.

    Zhang Chunqin stroked the top of his head and sighed: "People are not sages, and no one has faults. Knowing mistakes can be corrected, and there is nothing good. Do you understand this sentence?"

    Zhang Fang nodded: "If you make a mistake, you should correct it."

    Zhang Chunqin asked: "Where did you go wrong?"

    Zhang Fang said, "We shouldn't fight."

    Zhang Chunqin said: "A gentleman should be frank and frank. The scheming you are playing today is done by a villain. Who doesn't fight with children? I also fought when I was a teacher. Fighting is not a fault, it depends on why you fight. If justice is upheld  , Fighting against injustice, this kind of fight should be fought. If you take personal revenge, at least you must revenge in a fair and aboveboard manner, what you have done today is a complete villain. I will ask you again as a teacher, what is your mistake?"

    Zhang Fang said in shame: "You shouldn't throw snowballs at your classmates for no reason, and you shouldn't tell lies to cause everyone to fight."

    "Can it be changed?" Zhang Chunqin asked.

    Zhang Fang nodded and said, "It can be changed. From now on, even if we fight, we must fight in an aboveboard manner, and stop being such a sinister villain."

    Zhang Chunqin smiled with satisfaction: "If you are really a bad boy, you will not bother to be a teacher. You have a very good nature, and you are always willing to help your classmates. In addition to your studies, you are also very enthusiastic and active in the things that your husband tells you. Remember, keep a pure and good disposition,  Don't go on the wrong path. You can be a man without ability, but you can't live without a heart of integrity."

    "Yes." Zhang Fang half understood, but still nodded.

    Zhang Chunqin also said: "If Your Majesty wants to expel you, the teacher will personally intercede. However, the teacher can only guarantee you to stay in school until the next semester. After the exam next summer, whether you can stay or not depends on yourself."

    Zhang Fang was very moved by what he said. He did not expect that the usually strict principal would be such a nice person.

    Zhang Fang bit his lip and said, "II don't study well."

    Zhang Chunqin said: "If you want to make progress, you can come to the teacher's room every day after school to ask for advice. Wherever you can't, the teacher will teach you. Not only you, but anyone who wants to make progress can come to ask for advice after school. The second class  That Yang Gao, although dull by nature, is extremely hard-working, and he learns from his teacher for an hour every night."

    "Thenthen I'll try." Zhang Fang was told by the principal that he really wanted to study.  This guy is actually very smart, but too stubborn, as long as someone takes care of him.  Moreover, he has a high spirit, and he doesn't want to be eliminated in a disheartened manner. He always wants to study but can't control himself.

    Zhang Chunqin said: "If you know your mistakes, you can correct them. There is nothing good about it. If you know your mistakes and want to correct them, then you have to make up for your own mistakes. The most important thingHuhthat makes me want to go back and have a look.  "

    Fei Rulan can still miss home, but Zhao Han has no hometown to think about.

    Mainly Zhao Zhenlan and Zhao Zhenfang, they miss their hometown occasionally.  I also sent people back to my hometown to visit, but after wars, plagues and natural disasters, all the old neighbors have fled, and only a few nearby gentry are still there.

    The parents' bones were finally known to be "buried" in mass graves under the narration of Liu Mang, the bridge uncle.

    Liu Mang, the earl, also got an errand because of this, and took people to the mass grave in Tianjin to repair it a little bit.

    Certainly couldn't tell whose corpse it was, so they simply surrounded it and planted trees, and erected their parents' tombstones there.  For the other dead in the mass grave, erect a common monument—the tomb of the world's mourners.

    Forests are really not easy to build, and it is impossible to make mass graves on good land, and they are all saline-alkali lands where no crops can be grown.

    When the anniversary of his parents' death next year, Zhao Han plans to take the whole family to visit his parents' cemetery in Tianjin to pay homage.  By the way, I was visiting the north, and at the same time I was going out to relax. I lived in the Forbidden City all day and was bored.

    ? It’s a waste of time and money for Yujia to go on a trip. Fortunately, there is a Grand Canal along the way.

 Body 606 [The Colonial Ambition of Duke Shu]

    Seeing that Gu Jianshan was unhappy, Zhao Han asked with a smile, "Why, are you unhappy?"

    "Don't dare." Gu Jianshan replied quickly.

    Gu Jianshan, as the commander of the Datong Navy, has been so beautiful in the past few years.  Linjiang Water Battle, Ganzhou Water Battle, Yangtze River Water Battlethe Daming Navy lost their helmets and armor, and decided the victory or defeat of the war several times.

    Even in the Battle of Hebei, Fei Ruhe's army was invincible because the navy controlled Sanjiadiandian.

    But now, all provinces are determined, and no navy is needed.

    Gu Jianshan even felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have been idle, and wiped out all the water bandits in the Yangtze River, Taihu Lake, Dongting Lake, and Poyang Lake.  If you support the pirates, you will not cut down the navy

    Well, if he dares to support himself, it is not a matter of reducing the navy.

    After all, he is a veteran of the Datong Army, so Zhao Han had to say a few words of reassurance: "It's not that the navy is useless, but that it doesn't need so much. It's more than enough to cut half of it. You can stay in the navy, or you can transfer to the navy."  He is an admiral of the navy. However, the sea is different from the Yangtze River, and your water warfare skills are not needed in the sea. After serving in the navy, you are not allowed to intervene in the command for the first two years, and you should listen to and read more about sea knowledge.”

    Gu Jianshan cried with a sad face: "Your Majesty, I I am seasick."

    Zhao Han: ""

    What the hell are you, the admiral of the Datong Navy, who fought in water battles for ten years, and now I am seasick?

    Gu Jianshan explained: "Your Majesty, I am really seasick. I don't get dizzy in the big rivers and lakes, but I am really dizzy in the sea. After the water battle in Sanjiaodian, I thought about switching to the navy and returning to the Shanghai Fleet  I have visited there. I don’t get sick when I get on the boat, but I get dizzy after sitting for a long time. I have been on the boat several times in a row, each time lasting more than ten days, and the seasickness can’t be cured.”

    Zhao Han said: "Then you should go back to Beijing to take up a post. You will be the Commander-in-Chief of the Naval Governor's Mansion, in charge of the navy and naval division. In addition, you are from Sichuan, and you are the Duke of Shu in Jin Dynasty."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Gu Jianshan was shocked.

    Although the Sixth Army Commander's Mansion, front, back, left, and right Zhonghai, has long been determined, it is not yet fully completed, and many official positions have been vacant for a long time.

    Front, back, left, right, and middle are equivalent to dividing the country into five major military regions.

    But years of wars have caused most of the army to be on the northern front, and there are regular troops in the southwest.  The functions of the major governor's mansions are performed by the Ministry of War and the civil servants of the governor's mansion, and all the generals are left outside to train and fight.

    The situation of the Ministry of War and the Dudufu is somewhat similar to that of Yu Qian in the Ming Dynasty.

    As for the title, Gu Jianshan was a marquis before, and now he deserves the title of Duke of Shu.

    Zhao Han warned: "You don't have to go to sea, and you don't have to be capable of naval warfare. However, you must know the overseas situation well. You must seriously inquire about the situation in Southeast Asia, Tianzhu, Persia, and even Europe and America.  The earliest batch of centuries-old wood has been soaked for almost ten years, and the construction of warships will start this year. Your first task is to supervise the construction of ships. It is not necessary to master shipbuilding technology, but you must know what materials and how much are needed for shipbuilding  Manpower, material and financial resources. While supervising shipbuilding, at the same time grasping the situation in Nanyang.”

    "Abiding by the order!" Gu Jianshan said.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Do you know which native countries and foreign forces there are in Nanyang?"

    Gu Jianshan shook his head: "I don't know."

    Zhao Han said: "I asked the merchants from Fujian and Guangdong to report a lot of information about Nanyang, and have them compile this information into a book. It's not a very thick booklet. You should read this book first. By the way, the map of the world, you  You also need to be familiar with it.”

    Gu Jianshan followed the female officer to fetch globes, maps and books, and took them home to read slowly.

    He has a house in the city, which was bestowed by the imperial court.

    Emperor Zhao was very stingy, and it was not easy to give him a house.  The mansion of Gujianshan used to be the honorable garden of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor felt that the area was too large, so he directly divided the garden into four.  The fence was rebuilt, and the buildings in the garden were remodeled, and then they were given to the four marquises respectively.

    "Husband can eat at home?" asked his wife Cen.

    ?Gu Jianshan: "At home, I'm going to the study. Your Majesty has given me a new job. By the way, the lintel of our house should be replaced. Please ask the craftsman to carve a signboard of the Duke of Shu."

    ▽  This is the most important thing to do./p&gt;

    Cen was overjoyed: "Congratulations, husband, congratulations, husband!"

    Cen was married by Gu Jianshan in Ganzhou, the daughter of a Hakka gentry.  Due to leading troops abroad all the year round, Gu Jianshan doesn't have many sons and daughters, and he only has one son and one daughter so far.

    When we came to the study, Gu Jianshan looked at the ground first.?Rooted from Portugal.  Then pick the soft persimmon of the Netherlands and snatch all of Portugal's Tianzhu colonies!  In this way, there is no need to fight with the countries of Tianzhu, and it is Portugal's territory that is being robbed anyway.  "

    "But Malacca is very important. This is the hub of the east-west sea route. If you don't take this place, you will be stuck in your throat. Therefore, the basis for the expansion of the Datong Navy is to capture Malacca controlled by the Netherlands!"

    ? Gu Jianshan, who has a half-understanding of the world situation, comprehended the colonial thought on his own, and quickly made Malacca his primary goal.

    This guy was born as a water bandit in Poyang Lake, but he is not a reckless person. He was born as a scholar of the Ming Dynasty.

    As a scholar, he has led the army in battle all year round, and his brain turns very fast.

    It's only been half a month, and I actually thought of going to India for colonization.

    "No, I have to go to Guangzhou to learn more about the Netherlands," Gu Jianshan mused, "The Netherlands is so small that it can be an enemy everywhere, so there must be something unique about it. The Dutch navy must be very sharp, too.  It is easy to start a war with it, and you have to find an opportunity to give it a fatal blow." To provide you with the fastest update, 606 free reading.

 Text 607 [The traitor in the Navy Governor's Mansion]

    ,

    Nanjing, the imperial city, the Yamen of the Naval Governor's Mansion.

    After working in the prospecting team for several years, Abel Tasman from the Dutch East India Company was successfully promoted to the director of the Exploration Institute of the Mining and Metallurgy Division of the Ministry of Industry (Zheng Qipin).

    The Ministry of Industry in the Ming Dynasty had jurisdiction over the four divisions of Yingqi, Yuheng, Dushui and Tuntian.  Zhao Han changed the Tuntian Division into the Mining and Metallurgy Division. In addition to prospecting and mining mineral deposits, he was also responsible for the smelting of precious minerals such as gold, silver, and copper.

    Tasman did a good job in the Ministry of Industry, but he was suddenly ordered to be transferred to the Navy Governor's Mansion. This situation made him a little puzzled.

    Taking the documents from the Ministry of Officials, he went to the Naval Governor's Mansion to go through the handover procedures. The officials here did not tell him where to work, but only asked Tasman to wait in an office.

    After Tasman walked in, he found that there was someone inside, and it was a European.  He took a closer look and exclaimed, "Mr. Hoffman, why are you here?"

    Hoffman said helplessly: "Your Excellency, the new governor, said that I have embezzled the company's money and started to investigate the accounts. I can only flee Batavia with my wife and daughter."

    "How dare the governor?" Tasman was even more surprised.

    Under normal circumstances, although the governor and councilors have conflicts, they will never kill each other, let alone investigate each other's corruption.  After all, who wouldn't be greedy?  Once the Governor investigates corruption, he will be the enemy of all MPs.

    However, the new governor, Van der Lin, was the most tactful governor in Batavia's colonial history when facing congressmen.

    Investigating corruption is just a means, but the real purpose is to make MPs obey.  .

    And Hoffman happened to be the chicken who killed the chicken to make an example to the monkey.

    Just as the two were communicating, Gu Jianshan came in, and they immediately stood up to greet him.

    "Sit down," Gu Jianshan said with a smile, "You two will be my staff from now on. Of course, the real job is the experience and affairs of the Navy Commander's Mansion. The Dutch East India Company, after all  What is it? If it is a trading company, how can there be a territory and an army?"

    Hoffman explained: "Your Excellency, the Netherlands is also called the United Nations of the Seven Provinces of the Netherlands Well, it is probably translated like this. At first it was ruled by the King of Spain. The seven northern provinces and some cities in the south formed an alliance to become independent from Spain.  Jianguo."

    "Then who will be the king?" Gu Jianshan asked.

    Hoffman said: "There is no king, only a parliament. A parliament is composed of businessmen, priests, and nobles. When encountering major national affairs, they discuss together and vote to decide the next policy."

    Gu Jianshan said in disbelief: "Is this country not in chaos?"

    Hoffman said: "There must be contradictions, but they are not chaotic, because the parliamentarians have common enemies and interests. The Dutch East India Company is their greatest common interest, and it is also the interest of many Dutch civilians. Because the East India Company  There are many shareholders, even ordinary people can buy company shares on the exchange.”

    Gu Jianshan asked what stocks and exchanges are, and Hoffman answered truthfully, which made Gu Dudu seem to be listening to the Arabian Nights.

    Hoffman continued: "The leading body of the Dutch East India Company at the headquarters is a seventeen-member meeting, where seventeen directors discuss and make decisions together. The affairs in the East are decided by the governor and the review committee. The governor has one person, and the councilor  Six people, a total of seven tickets."

    "The jurisdiction of the East India Company is very large, and the seven members of the council are often distributed in various places, and it is difficult to gather all of them for a meeting. Therefore, in the seven-member meeting, the governor, the secretary of the committee, the chairman of the judicial council, the chief of military affairs and the chief of shipping  , as long as these five people do not vote against it, the resolution can be passed even if they are absent.”

    "Naturally, the councilors refused, because the governor had too much power. So, the councilors sent representatives to Batavia, and I was one of the permanent representatives. This spring, fierce conflicts broke out between the governor and the councilors.  The most vicious one was targeted by the governor."

    Gu Jianshan asked: "Why did the governor conflict with the councilors?"

    Hoffman introduced the situation in detail: "The governor came to Batavia last year and reached an agreement with the council. First, subdue the Matalan country, and then target the Banten country. It is bound to completely destroy the Banten country.  Improve diplomacy with other countries. This plan has achieved initial success. The indigenous uprising broke out in Matalam, and the company sent troops to help counter the rebellion, in exchange for the king and the company to form an alliance."

    "The next step is to jointly send troops to capture the capital of the Wandan Kingdom. King Matalan agreed verbally, but he has always used the excuse that there is no military expenditure to send troops, and the plan to destroy the Wandan Kingdom can only be temporarily shelved. At this time, the governor unexpectedly had a whimsical plan.  At the same time, it went to war with Britain and Portugal. Of course, the members of parliament were firmly opposed to it, so the Governor broke his face."

    Gu Jianshan wondered: "It's reasonable to go to war with Portugal.So, why go to war with Britain?  "

    Hoffman said: "Please give me a map of the world."

    Gu Jianshan asked someone to bring the globe.

    Hoffman pointed to the southeast of the Arabian Peninsula, which is the later Sultanate of Oman: "The Arabs here have a long history of navigation, and they have made a living by doing business since ancient times. The Portuguese have controlled the most prosperous port there.  , for a whole hundred and fifty years. The native Arab leaders were originally a mess, and they fought each other just to grab the leftovers."

    "Seventeen years ago, Nasser bin Mussad won the civil war and established the Sultanate of Oman. He transformed the long-term internal strife into a collective hatred of the Portuguese. He not only fought against Portugal, but also against Persia.  Persian castles and Portuguese towns along the coast occupied more than half."

    Gu Jianshan praised: "There are endless civil wars, there are strong enemies outside, and he can still unify the country and regain lost territories. This is also a hero."

    Hoffman said: "The Portuguese were not reconciled. They drew on the eastern forces of Britain and planned to jointly send troops to retake the port. But both countries were weak in the east, so they went to Persia again, trying to persuade the king of Persia, and the three countries sent troops to Oman together.  The King of Oman, Musad, found the Dutch East India Company and wanted to join the Netherlands in resisting Britain, Persia and Portugal."

    "Which governor agreed?" Gu Jianshan asked.

    Hoffman said: "The Dutch East India Company has always wanted to extend its hand into the Arabian Peninsula. This is a godsend opportunity for the governor. But the members of the council did not agree.  Let’s talk about Dan Country after it is destroyed.”

    Gu Jianshan asked: "Which side do you think can dominate the situation?"

    "It must be the governor," Hoffman said. "Although the governor is restrained by the parliament, as long as he makes up his mind, he can forcefully make decisions. If he succeeds, he will be rewarded by the headquarters; if he fails, he will be held accountable by the headquarters."

    In another time and space, Governor of Batavia, Van der Lin, indeed forcibly sent troops to Persia, and the most intense conflict between the Governor of the Netherlands and the Parliament broke out.

    In that five-nation war, there were no winners and no losers. There was a lot of thunder and rain, and it ended hastily.

    ?Because no actual benefits were obtained, and a large amount of military expenditure was consumed at the same time, Governor Van der Lin was dismissed from his post and returned to the Netherlands in desperation to retire.

    After learning about the internal situation of the Dutch East India Company and the new world situation, Gu Jianshan asked: "If our country can build ten new large ships with a thousand materials, they will all be built with century-old oak, and the hulls will also use European keel styles.  , equipped with the most powerful artillery. Can it defeat the Dutch fleet?"

    "There is a strength advantage, but the victory of the sea battle depends on luck and command." Hoffman did not have any psychological burden as a traitor, and immediately helped out with ideas, "If you want to send troops, you don't have to go to Batavia, send the fleet  Go straight to Malacca and cut off the most convenient sea route between the east and the west. At the same time, if the trade between China and the Netherlands is cut off for at most one year, the East India Company will not be able to sustain it, and will definitely choose to negotiate a peace due to the decline in profits."

    Gu Jianshan said: "You mean, occupy Malacca first, and Batavia leave it alone?"

    "Yes," Hoffman nodded, "If you occupy Malacca, you can get huge benefits. Merchant ships from Britain, France and other countries have to pass through here, and the annual port entry tax is a lot of money. And the Dutch merchant ships can only go from Pakistan.  Davia set off, bypassing Sumatra to India, the power of the Netherlands will continue to weaken. Don't be afraid to cut off trade with the Netherlands, the British, French, Portuguese, and even Arab merchants are waiting for this opportunity. Reduced trade with the Netherlands  Well, other countries will take the opportunity to eat in, and Chinese businessmen won’t have much loss.”

    As expected of being a representative of the Dutch East India Company, he is very clear about the specific situation and knows what the Netherlands is most afraid of.

    Gu Jianshan asked again: "Is Malacca easy to fight?"

    Hoffman shook his head: "It's not easy to fight. The castle there is almost impossible to attack head-on. When the Netherlands captured Malacca, they not only sent their own troops, but also hired more than a thousand mercenaries. The siege lasted half a year.  The disease rate reached 80%. If the Portuguese defenders hadn’t run out of food and opened the door to surrender, the Netherlands would not have been able to occupy Malacca.”

    Gu Jianshan carefully looked at the globe and set his sights on Vietnam.

    If you want to besiege the city for a long time, you have to send a large army to bring enough food and grass.  The longer the supply line at sea, the higher the chance of encountering a storm and possibly being robbed by the Dutch fleet.

    Then, the supply line must be shortened, and the southernmost tip of Vietnam is an excellent troop dispatch point and food transshipment point.

    ? If you want to fight Malacca, you must first conquer Vietnam!

    ? I heard that Malacca is very hot. It would be safer for the soldiers to familiarize themselves with the climate in Vietnam before going to fight in Malacca, so as not to get sick like the Dutch soldiers.

    Gu Jianshan asked about India again.

    Hoffman said: "I am a representative of a member of Parliament. The member I represent is based in Pulicat Port, India. It is not the territory of the Mughal Empire. It belongs to a small country called Jinji, with an area of ??about two  Taiwan. There are many states in the country, and the leaders of the states have the right to collect taxes, and they only need to pay a fixed amount of taxes to the king, and the rest are basically autonomous.”

    "The Jinji Kingdom believes in Hinduism, and the Golkonda Kingdom in the north believes in Islam. Although the royal families of the two countries are mortal enemies, most of the civilians in the Golkonda Kingdom believe in Hinduism. The two countries are joining hands to resist the Mughal Empire.  attack……"?Guarantee, so as not to be more than half sick like a Dutch soldier.

    ,

    The first batch of 100-year-old timber, which has been stored for ten years, finally started construction at the shipyard in Guangzhou.

    The current Datong Navy is still using the warships of Qian Ming and Zheng Zhilong.  There are six fleets in Laizhou, Shanghai, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and Luzon, but the overall number of warships is not many, and some of them are even eliminated and sold to private merchants.

    The capital ship was named Datong, a 500-ton Spanish galleon captured during the Manila naval battle.

    The sources of military expenses for the Datong Navy are government appropriations, trawling for fish, extermination of pirates, shipbuilding orders, and official trade.

    Destroy pirates, and sometimes merchant ships together.  A single merchant ship or a merchant ship stranded in a storm will basically end up being robbed once it encounters the Datong Navy.  Zhao Han turned a blind eye to this, but gave a stern warning that he was not allowed to rob his country's ships. Once found, everyone from generals to soldiers would be severely punished.

    A pirate is a navy, and a navy is a pirate. The whole world is like this at this time, and the navy cannot be supported without gray recovery.

    Most of the real pirates wiped out were Japanese pirates and Tainan pirates.  Japanese pirates are actually the lord's private armed forces, who often plunder foreign merchant ships behind the back of the shogunate, which is commonly known as Japanese pirates by the Chinese population.  The Tainan pirates were Zheng Zhilong's old friends. These guys took refuge in the Dutch and often ransacked Chinese merchant ships heading to Luzon.

    In addition, the government has opened three shipyards in Guangzhou, Quanzhou, and Ningbo.  .

    Private merchants need sea-going ships, so they can place orders with shipyards, and the money they earn can also be used to support the navy.  These three shipyards usually receive orders for civilian use and can be converted to build warships at any time.

    ?Official trade is mainly aimed at North Korea. North Korea often does not charge money and needs to ship the goods to exchange for food.  Therefore, the government purchases goods, and the navy is responsible for transportation. When North Korea’s food is not enough, local products such as Korean ginseng will also be included.  The native products were shipped back for auction, and part of the profits were allocated to the Navy.

    It is true that the navy is too expensive, relying entirely on national finances, it is impossible to support a large-scale fleet.

    Today, the first batch of century-old timber is being built, and two 500-ton ships can be built at the same time.  Two years later, the second batch of wood can be used. It is planned to build a 700-ton ship and a 500-ton ship.

    Imperial Garden.

    Zhao Han looked at Gu Jianshan's memorial and said with a smile: "You are quite formal. Instead of submitting the memorial book and memorial book, you directly wrote a memorial. Do you want to beat Annan?"

    Gu Jianshan said: "If you want to control Nanyang, you must take Annan. After you understand the overseas situation, you can understand why Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty wanted to take Annan despite the opposition of his officials. After setting up the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi, he is still there.  The establishment of the Department of Maritime Ships can effectively control the countries in Southeast Asia. Civil servants object to attacking Annan because of its high mountains, dense forests, and miasma everywhere. We can attack from land and water, directly capture its coastal cities, and then attack the inland along the river."

    Zhao Han asked: "Annan has been divided into two, will the Southern Dynasty or the Northern Dynasty be the first?"

    Gu Jianshan said: "Regardless of the north and the south, the king of the Li Dynasty is the master. If the Datong army sends troops, they will take Qinghua directly from the sea. Qinghua is a big city. After taking this city, it can be operated for a year or two.  The people outside the city will divide the land and settle down, so that the people will support our Datong court. It is also possible not to operate it, use Qinghua as a base, collect inland ships, go to the mouth of the river further north, and go up the river to take Shenglong Mansion! Capture King Annan  , you can order Annan to send troops to beat anyone who is disobedient."

    Zhao Han nodded approvingly: "It seems that you have already inquired about it. The land is rich and relatively flat. It is easy to conquer and produces a lot of grain."

    Thang Long is Hanoi, and a large part of the surrounding area belongs to the Red River Delta. The alluvial plain is the largest farming area in Vietnam.

    ?Since ancient times, when China attacked Vietnam, it had to cross mountains and ridges, and the terrain was very complicated.  But if you take the sea route and land directly in the Beibu Gulf, you will see a large alluvial plain in front of you, which is the quintessence of the whole of Vietnam.

    Zhao Han said to Gu Jianshan: "We need to consider other factors in this war. In Annan's Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasty was closer to the Netherlands, and the Southern Dynasty was closer to Portugal and Chinese maritime merchants. Portugal is not to be feared, but  The Netherlands, however, had to beat them to prevent them from intervening in the war. The descendants of Chinese who settled in Annan can also be used as a help for our army. If they occupy the territory of Annan, they can divide the land of Annan's gentry and win the hearts of Annan's civilians. But for the descendants of Han people,  But I promise not to divide their fields, and I will talk about other things after I gain a firm foothold."

    In fact, those who still consider themselves Han Chinese belong to the Chinese who have settled in Vietnam for nearly a hundred years.  Most of them make a living by doing business, even if they buy land, they don't have much land under their name.

    The real big landlords, even if they are descendants of Han Chinese, have long regarded themselves as Vietnamese.

    Zhao Han also said: "Annan invaded the territory of other countries, and he likes to deport the domestic hooligans, criminals and refugees to the borders of other countries for reclamation, and thenCan't stay idle, playing and playing on the deck, the maids are nervously watching over.

    Since coming to Nanjing, this is the first time for everyone to travel far.  The adults can bear it, and the children are all happy to have fun, just like a prisoner who has been imprisoned for a long time comes out to let the wind go.

    Pan Qimei and Fei Rumei came to Zhao Han's side together.

    Fei Rumei said: "Husband, let me ask you, what is there to eat in Tianjin? She is going to learn how to do it."

    "Tianjin? Goubuli Baozi." Zhao Han didn't think much about it.

    Fei Rumei laughed and said, "Who named this steamed stuffed bun? It's very unpleasant to hear."

    Pan Qimei asked suspiciously: "Is there really a steamed stuffed bun called a dog to ignore?"

    Zhao Han remembered all kinds of food legends related to Zhu Yuanzhang and Qianlong, and couldn't help joking: "If you don't have it, you can have it. When Emperor Zhao was living in the rivers and lakes, when he passed by Tianjin, the store threw out broken buns, and the wild dogs ignored them.  However, Emperor Zhao felt that it was a delicacy in the world. This time he revisited the old place to look for the buns, but he couldn't taste the old taste.?

    ,

    When the boat sailed to Zhenjiang, Zhao Han had passed by here several times, but this time it looked more lively.

    The industry and commerce around Taihu Lake are very developed, especially the textile and dyeing industries lead the country.  These commodities pass through the river, one route is to enter the Yangtze River from Zhenjiang, and the other route is to enter the Yangtze River from Jiangyin.

    Zhenjiang is richer than Jiangyin because it leads directly to the Grand Canal in the north.

    Today, the sea trade in Shanghai Port is booming, and Jiangyin, which is closer to Shanghai, is gradually catching up, and even has a tendency to overtake Zhenjiang.  Waterway cities such as Wuxi, Changshu, and Taicang have also become important cargo distribution centers because they can connect to Shanghai.  Even Fushanpu, along with Changshu, has gradually developed into a large port on the Yangtze River.

    "Chen Zhenjiang prefect Huang Shunde, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

    The fleet just stayed on the shore overnight. Except for the soldiers who were sent out to guard, the rest of the entourage did not disembark.  Huang Shunde, the prefect of Zhenjiang, brought two officials from Zhenjiang Prefecture and Dantu County to the emperor's ship to have an audience.

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "Excuse me. There are not many stools on the boat, so you all should stand."

    "Abiding by the order!" said the officials.

    Zhao Han said to Huang Shunde: "Your son, should he be in primary school?"

    Huang Shunde looked excited, squeezed out some tears and said: "Your Majesty still remembers the dog, ministerhow can you be so good I must work hard, be a good official, a clean official, and a capable official, in order to repay your majesty's greatness."  Endad!"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, just don't blame me in your heart."

    "I absolutely dare not." Huang Shunde said hastily.

    This is Zhao Han's first scholar who raised troops in Wuxing Town to help with things.

    Although when Huang Shunde joined the gang, he was just to earn some wages and was ready to surrender to the officers and soldiers anytime, anywhere, but he was considered a very old hero.  What's more, Huang Shunde used to be Zhao Han's secretary, and was released as an official by Zhao Han because his family was intermarried with a rich family.

    If you don't make mistakes, Huang Shunde is at least at the level of a servant.

    Officials are not allowed to intermarry with rich families. This ban has been lifted long ago. Huang Shunde sometimes thinks about it and feels that he has been wronged enough.

    But in fact, it is not wronged, because the Datong New Dynasty continued the policy of the Ming Dynasty, stipulating that officials should not marry women from the places where they work.  This is a replica of the prohibition of intermarriage with rich families, and it is all to prevent officials from colluding with local rich people.

    Zhao Han asked: "Did you go back to Wuxing Town all these years?"

    Huang Shunde replied: "I was transferred two years ago, and I visited once on the way out. Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, Wuxing Town now lives and works in peace and contentment. It is one of the most prosperous places in Luling County."

    Zhao Han said: "If you keep talking nonsense and flattering, you can get out."

    Huang Shunde hurriedly said: "Although it is not the first or second, it is definitely in the top three."

    Zhao Han suddenly lost the mood to chat. What he wanted to talk about was about the parents and relatives of Wuxing Town, and talk about the current situation of those old people in the past.  Huang Shunde was still so blind, to talk about the prosperity of Wuxing Town to the emperor was simply wrong.

    Of course, Huang Shunde couldn't talk like that.  He rarely goes back to his hometown, and even if he does, he doesn't care much about the situation in the village.

    Next, we can only talk about business. Huang Shunde reported the people's livelihood in Zhenjiang Mansion, and was sent away by the impatient emperor after he finished speaking.

    Although it was not very pleasing, after the officials disembarked, they still looked at Huang Shunde with envious eyes. After all, the emperor spent most of his time chatting with the prefect.

    Huang Shunde put his hands behind his back, strode forward with his head held high, listening to the sycophants of the accompanying officials.

    The magistrate of the mansion is Wei Xin, a scholar from Hunan Province. He followed Huang Shunde and flattered him: "The mansion honors the emperor's heart, and he really deserves to be an old minister from Conglong."

    Huang Shunde bragged: "Your Majesty raised his troops back then, and after he captured Wuxing Town, there were no scholars around him. Although I was not a scholar, I was still a boy. I was the first scholar to work with Your Majesty. It was a difficult time.  It is said that it is a town, but it is actually the territory of two villages, and it has to deal with the encirclement and suppression by officers and soldiers."

    Lin Yingchen, magistrate of Dantu County, also followed, smiling and jokingly said: "Your Majesty, why not tell everyone how His Majesty defeated the officers and soldiers of the former Ming Dynasty."

    "Yes, yes, yes, we all want to hear it." Other officials echoed.

    "Let's talk about this mansion," Huang Shunde said as he walked, "At that time, His Majesty only had three or four hundred troops, and Jiangxi governor Xie Xuelong led an army of tens of thousands to attack. Today's old Li Ge also recruited brave men from the countryside to go around  Then they rushed to Wuxing Town. Everyone, facing such a predicament, what can you think of to break the situation?"

    The officials frowned, unable to think of a solution.  With only a few hundred troops at hand, facing an army of tens of thousandsp; Wang Diaoding is the head of the Imperial Academy and has made outstanding contributions to Datong Theory.  Officials of the Imperial Academy are not allowed to be easily transferred to political affairs. They can be released to serve in local areas first, and then transferred back to the Ministry of Rites for promotion.  After Chen Maosheng entered the cabinet, he asked Wang Diaoding to be the Minister of Rites.

    Wu Yingji, a native of Anhui, is already in the center. Zhang Bingwen, who is also from Anhui, can also find an opportunity to be transferred back as a court official.

    Within ten years, the number of cabinet officials from Jiangxi must be reduced to only 40%.  Otherwise, as time goes by, there will definitely be troubles in the future, and maybe Zhao Han will have to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang to kill heroes.

    This is really not alarmist talk. If one side is allowed to dominate, it will not be able to be suppressed at that time.

    As the leader of the Jiangyou faction, Li Banghua, even if he is selfless, the people below will use his name to mess around.

    Li Banghua is seventy-three years old this year. Although he is in good health, he won't be able to work for a few years.  When both he and Pang Chunlai leave the court, Song Yingxing will be the next chief assistant, and then the cabinet officials will be able to make major adjustments.

 Text 616 [Post Office and Newspapers]

    Zhenjiang.

    The catering and entertainment business of Zhenjiang Water Station in Daming, which has been making a lot of money every day, has been sold to private merchants—in fact, it was originally contracted by private parties, and the restaurant and passenger ships were all purchased by the owner. After the Datong court forcibly took over, the original  Investors redeem at half price.

    However, the horses and fast boats in Zhenjiang Water Station are still preserved, and the government provides funds to support them.

    This situation is very common, including some post stations abolished by Chongzhen, which were also restored by the new dynasty of Datong.  A lot of low-level meticulous work was converted into a post office on the spot, saving the trouble of having no place to settle.

    The postmen belong to the officials, and the postmen are only contract workers.

    This treatment is not bad. The ordinary postmen in Ming Dynasty are often in the nature of corvee.  The more remote the place, the more this is the case, because there is no oil and water, and there is food and drink for the officials who come and go, the local finances cannot afford it, and they need to rely on the postmen to pay for it.

    So no one is willing to be a postman, and can only be used as a kind of corvee, forcing the people to work in the post.  After a few years of being a postman, his family is often ruined.

    Now, the various post stations, catering, accommodation and postal services of the Datong Dynasty have been divested.

    All the catering in the post station is left to private management, and officials who come and go have to pay for their own food and accommodation. The days of eating and drinking for free are gone forever.

    Early in the morning, Zhenjiang Water Station became lively.

    The postmaster congratulated Yipeng and ordered the postmen to replace the plaque, and the sign of "Zhenjiang Water Station" became "Zhenjiang Post Station".

    The shopkeeper of the restaurant next door came to watch the excitement and said, "He Yichang, why did you change the brand for no reason?"

    He Yipeng said with a smile: "Your Majesty has an order. From now on, the post station will also serve as an errand for the letter bureau. People can also deliver letters to the post station. The general rules are handled by the private letter bureau, except that the post station must post stamps when delivering letters."

    "That's rare, show me the stamps." The shopkeeper was quite curious.

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, both the official and the private sector had express delivery services.

    The official express delivery business is the most developed in Liaodong, and it is divided into express delivery offices and express delivery shops.  The courier office is responsible for the delivery of official materials, and the courier shop is responsible for the delivery of letters and official documents.

    The private express delivery business is most developed in Jiangnan and Shanxi, and its name is "Xinju".  The main customers are gentry merchants, who not only help deliver letters, but also occasionally deliver goods, which can be regarded as SF Express and Debang in the Ming Dynasty.

    There are three payment methods for private express delivery: payment by sending, payment on delivery, and half of each payment for receiving and sending.

    Unfamiliar customers must pay at the time of delivery.

    Familiar old customers can not only pay in cash on delivery, but also keep accounts and make quarterly or annual settlement payments.

    The beacon fire lasts for three months, and the family letter is worth ten thousand gold.  The war caused most of the national credit bureaus to close down, and even if they didn't close down, they continued to shrink their business. In the past few years, they have finally begun to recover.

    Now, the government has actually entered the express delivery industry and introduced some damn stamps.

    "Here, it's this kind." He Yipeng took out a plate of stamps.

    The shopkeeper asked: "How much is it?"

    He Yipeng said: "It depends on the weight of the letter and the length of the journey. For a letter in the province that does not exceed six taels, a five-cent stamp is sufficient. The heavier the letter and the farther it is mailed, the more expensive the stamp is, and the letter is not allowed to arrive."  Payment. Moreover, no more than one catty will be accepted, if you want to send something, go to the private letter bureau.”

    This is also to generate income for the station system, otherwise the expenses will be too high, after all, there are so many postmen to support.  Unlike Daming, postmen had to pay back money, but now they are paid.

    An official ship came, and the postman stood on the ship and shouted: "Come here and help get things!"

    "Come on!" He Yipeng responded.

    The Zhenjiang postmen ran quickly, carrying a sack, and the postmen disembarked with their official documents.

    He Yipeng asked: "What's in this sack?"

    "Newspaper," said the postman, "there will be no mansion newspaper in the future. It will be renamed "Datong Monthly Newspaper", and it will be printed more than before. Local yamen, each yamen will distribute a copy for free. Every bulletin board will also post a copy."  All the rest will be sold on consignment at the post station, and every time a newspaper is sold, the post station will get two cents. If it can’t be sold, it will be taken back to Nanjing after two months.”

    He Yipeng nodded: "Understood.

    "

    The postman said: "The ones left in Zhenjiang Mansion will be sent all the way to Shanghai."

    The level of the Zhenjiang post station is also very high. The official ship from Nanjing will go north along the canal after arriving here.  As for the things in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Zhenjiang Station needs to send ships to forward them.

    The postman then took out more than a dozen official documents and said: "Send these two copies to the Zhenjiang government office, this one to the Zhenjiang government court, and this one to the post stations in various places. The rest are not from the Zhenjiang government office, so send them out together."  .You sign for it, newspaper.? Zhao and Song are all ancestors.  Moreover, there are countless descendants of Zhao and Song Dynasties, and it may be some prince who moved to Shanxi.  "

    "It's nonsense, His Majesty has published it in the newspaper to disassociate himself from it."

    "Who said to separate the relationship? Your Majesty only said that he came from Tianshuitang, and his ancestors moved to Shanxi during the Tang and Song Dynasties."

    "The Tang Dynasty moved to Shanxi, so it doesn't matter if it's Zhao Song!"

    ""

    The faces of the people at the two tables were arguing because of a small newspaper.

    No matter who wins or loses, everyone knows very well that the "Datong Monthly" will be indispensable in the future, and a lot of information must be obtained from this thing.

    There are also businessmen who have used their brains. The imperial court can run newspapers, why can't they themselves?

    The main content of the previous newspapers was copied from the Di Bao, and also included some business information, as well as major news, such as the explosion of the Wang Gong Factory.

    And the magazines and publications originating from literati gatherings are all poems, novels, and operas.

    Why not combine the two types, and then report some folk anecdotes, and compile it into a reading that ordinary people prefer to read?

    A folk tabloid is about to be born.

    ,

    The sky is bright and the air is clear, and the autumn wind is refreshing.

    Nearly two hundred female officials and court ladies came to the Imperial Garden one after another.  .  The stage has been set up, but there is not enough space, and the maids with lower status can only stand far away among the flower beds.

    The emperor and concubines, along with their princes and daughters, also arrived one after another.

    "Sister, were you still young? When we were eight years old, Mother took us to the temple fair to watch magic tricks." Fei Rumei asked.

    Fei Rulan said with a smile: "I remember, you almost got lost, but Zhenfang asked the adults to look for you."

    Pan Qimei asked curiously: "Is there really a spell?"

    Fei Rumei blinked and said, "I must be able to do magic, otherwise how can I do magic tricks?"

    Pan Qimei thought carefully, and finally said: "I guess you are lying to me."

    The princes and princesses are having fun together and don't even know what illusion is. After Zhao Han sat down, he ordered: "Let's start."

    "Start performing illusion!" The guard shouted loudly.

    There are audiences all around the stage, watching the magic show in groups. This is a great test for the performers, and it is easy to see if the movements are not clean.

    Today is to perform in the palace, Zhang Jiuzhi specially wore a Taoist robe, which is the ancient home casual clothes.

    This person is about forty years old, with a dry and thin build, but extremely tall.  He paced onto the stage, and he couldn't see anything unusual. When he reached the center of the stage, he turned to the emperor and queen and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty, ladies, princes and princesses. This trick must be fake, and it's all hidden on his body."  Take it with you, and open it for all the nobles to see."

    While speaking, Zhang Jiuzhi lifted the hem of the Taoist robe, revealing two long legs that were close together, and there was nothing inside.

    And the pants are quite tight.

    After the display, Zhang Jiuzhi said: "Your Majesty helped the Han family and the country, so that all the people in the world can live. Zhang Benshu, a grassroots man, has not read a few days of books and can't read a few words, but he also knows that your majesty is an eternal sage. I have the honor to meet you today.  Saint, I congratulate Your Majesty for dominating the country!"

    As he spoke, he bent down again to make a bow, his legs spread out immediately, and his lower body turned into a squatting posture.

    The hem of the Taoist robe was lifted again, and Zhang Jiuzhi suddenly lifted out a bucket with a rockery made of old ginger.

    A bucket of ginger mountain.

    Fei Rumei blinked, then shook her head: "How did he conjure it?"

    Liu Rushi was also very puzzled: "I haven't lifted the Taoist robe just now, could it be hidden behind?"

    "Behind him in the audience, there were many court ladies standing watching, and those court ladies did not notice any abnormalities." Tian Xiuying said.

    Zhao Han was very happy whether it was the performance technique or the implication of unifying the country. He clapped his hands and praised: "Good trick!"

    "good!"

    Zhao Kuanghuan and other princes and princesses were all crazy with joy at the moment, and they stopped fighting with each other, and sat beside their mother to watch in an orderly manner.

    Zhang Jiuzhi yelled towards the lower side of the stage: "Teacher, put on the colorful scarf!"

    The apprentice came to the stage holding a colorful square scarf, and handed it to Zhang Jiuzhi respectfully: "Master, the colorful scarf is here!"

    Zhang Jiuzhi took the scarf, shook it loose and opened it, about one meter in length and width.  He covered the colorful scarf in front of him, and began to talk to the emperor: "The Tartars ravaged the Central Plains and disrupted our Han family. Your Majesty drove out the Hulu and saved the people of Shenzhou.

    Really is the hero of the world.  Now that the Tartars are trapped in Jianzhou, our soldiers will wipe them out one day. The grassroots wish the soldiers of Datong victory and peace in all directions!  "

    After finishing speaking, he suddenly uncovered the colored scarf.

    In front of Zhang Jiuzhi, there was a knee-high porcelain vat with four flags planted in it.  At the moment when the colorful scarves were lifted, the audience with good eyes could even see that the flags were erected together before they suddenly spread out in four directions.  Meaning: victory with the first flag, calm down the Quartet.

    Zhao Han, who has seen a lot of modern magic,

    Everyone was shocked by this hand, couldn't help but sit up straight, and began to think about how these things were brought to the stage.

    "Slow down!"

    Fei Rumei didn't look like a concubine at all, she left her seat, ran to the other side of the stage, and asked the maid standing there: "Did you see him hiding something just now?"

    The court ladies shook their heads one after another, and one of them said: "The Taoist robe is wide, I only saw him standing there in the Taoist robe, half a step away, there are porcelain jars and flags."

    The performance was still going on, and the apprentices pulled out the flags and planted them around the stage.

    Zhang Jiuzhi picked up the porcelain jar, turned it upside down to show that there was nothing in it, and turned the mouth of the jar to the emperor and concubines,

    It was really clean and there was nothing inside.

    Waiting for the apprentice to plant the flag, Zhang Jiuzhi stretched out his arms,Seeing his nervousness, Zhao Han smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I don't eat people."

    The palace maid led the emperor into the courtyard and said: "Your Majesty has washed and dressed, and the room has been decorated. Your Majesty, please come in and rest."

    With the power in his hands, Zhao Han has fallen, and is no longer the pure young man he was before.

    Two red candles were burning in the room, and the Brunei princess was sitting by the bed, with a red hijab on her head.

    Zhao Han casually picked it up with a scale beam, revealing a western face, uureading&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http:/  /www.uukanshu.com&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;  /a&gt;</a> To be precise, it is the appearance of the Middle East.  The Brunei princess is of mixed Arab and Han descent, and may also be of Malay descent.

    Very beautiful and exotic.

    Zhao Han sat down and asked, "Can you speak Chinese?"

    The girl replied in a low voice: "I have learned."

    "What's your name?" Zhao Han asked again.

    The girl said: "Aisha? Abdu? Jariru Abba, Your Majesty can call me Aisha."

    A fifteen-year-old girl is still in junior high school, and Zhao Han is still worried that he won't have the heart to do it.  But after meeting, I found out that it has already grown, and Westerners seem to mature earlier.

    Zhao Han took off his coat, leaned against the head of the bed with his arms around the girl, and chatted: "Did you leave the palace to play around when you were in Brunei?"

    Aisha shook her head: "No."

    Zhao Han actually wanted to ask what Brunei is like in this era and how big the city is, but unfortunately this foreign princess doesn't know anything.

    Alas, there is also a Korean princess in the palace, I don't know how old she has been raised.

    The king of North Korea presented beauties again this year, all of whom were the daughters and maidservants of North Korean officials.  They thought it was Daming, still following the old rules.

    Especially for those Korean nobles, the good daughters are not raised at home, and they try to send them to the palace of the Chinese emperor.  Honorable.

 Body 624 [Population Growth and Tax Reform]

    The girl's body made the emperor a little reluctant, and he was half an hour late for work.

    The female officer of the Supervisor of Ceremonies has long been waiting with a memorial, and Li Xiangjun singled out one to place: "Your Majesty, the household registration population of each province has been reported"

    It is said that it is a national census, but it is actually reported according to household registration, otherwise the floating population cannot be counted at all.

    Three Zhao Han opened it, and suddenly felt happy in his heart:

    Directly under the jurisdiction of Jinling Prefecture: 2.63 million.  Directly under the jurisdiction of Beiping Prefecture: 390,000 people.

    Jiangxi Province: 9.15 million.  Anhui Province: 7.04 million.  Jiangsu Province: 7.78 million.  Zhejiang Province: 6.41 million.  Sichuan Province: 9.3 million.

    Hunan Province: 6.22 million.  Hubei Province: 5.33 million.  Guangdong Province: 6.08 million.  Guangxi Province: 3.82 million.  Fujian Province: 5.94 million.

    Shandong Province: 2.66 million.  Henan Province: 2.45 million.  Hebei Province: 1.03 million.  Shanxi Province: 1.84 million.  Shaanxi Province: 1.66 million.

    Liaoning Province: 1.14 million.  Yunnan Province: 3.02 million.  Guizhou Province: 2.88 million.

    ?Excluding children under the age of 12, the total population of the country is 86.77 million, which is more than 20 million more than the previous statistics.

    The population of Sichuan has soared by 2.3 million. There are three main reasons: first, the recovery of southern Sichuan; second, a large number of children who have reached the age of twelve;

    Both Guangdong and Fujian have increased by more than one million. This is because a large number of ethnic minorities have settled down, and Hainan Island and Taiwan Island have also registered households with the same name.  Take Hainan Island as an example. Counting the registered Li and Miao nationalities, the population exceeds 120.

    Ten thousand.

    As for Liaoning, not only Mongolia and Jurchen are counted, but even Koreans are counted.

    Baozhou, the border area of ??North Korea, was also placed under the jurisdiction of Liaoning.

    The population situation in Jiangxi is particularly embarrassing. Although the number of registered citizens is second in the country, many people are working as officials, doing business, or serving in the army.  Moreover, young and middle-aged people continue to immigrate to the north, and there are many teenagers who have just been included in the statistical age, accounting for one-fifth between the ages of 12 and 18, resulting in a shortage of rural labor force.  foreign slaves.

    The next day, the court meeting.

    Zhao Han smiled and announced to the officials: "The two prefectures and eighteen provinces in the whole country have a population of 86.77 million, which is more than the peak population in the previous Ming Dynasty. You have worked hard!"

    In fact, Liaoning has not yet officially established a province and is temporarily under the jurisdiction of Shandong, but the population statistics are separated.

    "Your Majesty has made every effort to govern the world with benevolence, so that all the people can prosper."

    "The Holy Son of Heaven is in court, and the people of Shenzhou are blessed!"

    "Our Datong New Dynasty has a population of nearly 90 million at the beginning of the founding of the country. Twenty years later, the number of people must be as many as trillions. It is really a prosperous age unheard of in ancient times!"

    For a time, all the officials sang praises, and most of them were sincere.

    This is China after many years of war, natural disasters, famine, and plague. The registered population is larger than that of the heyday of Ming Dynasty.  Moreover, the population in the north is scarce, so even if you don't do anything now, if you let it develop, the population will increase dramatically. It is estimated that the population will exceed 100 million in a few years.

    A lot of people is a prosperous age, how to keep the officials from being elated?

    Zhao Han said: "There are still too few people in Beiping Prefecture. In the Ming Dynasty, Beijing alone had a population of one million, but now the entire Beiping Prefecture is less than 400,000. In any case, next year we will immigrate 100,000 people to Peiping Prefecture.  most densely migrated areas."

    "The minister complies with the order!" The officials of the household department came out holding wat boards.

    Ai Julius and other Hanlin Academy missionaries were dumbfounded when they heard the data. Are there so many people in Europe?

    The topic of today's court meeting is to talk about the contradiction between man and earth.  Mainly discuss the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Guanzhong area had a large population,

    There is a serious shortage of arable land per capita.  For example, not long after Emperor Wu of the Han came to power, he distributed the royal land to the people for cultivation, and then allowed the people to move freely, and a large number of farmers in Guanzhong moved to outside the Guan for reclamation.

    ?He also discussed the land systems of the Tang and Song dynasties, and finally Zhao Han came to a conclusion that after fifty years, China's land would definitely not be enough for farming, and it would be necessary to expand overseas.  For example, Luzon,

    Although the climate there is hot and the rainy season is very long, as long as you cultivate carefully, you can still reclaim the tropical rainforest little by little.

    This stuff is not only told to all officials, but also published in newspapers to let the people know, and long-term indoctrination forms a consensus for overseas development.

    After the court meeting was over, Zhao Han said to Fei Chun and Wu Yingji: "You two stay and go to the cabinet together."

    These two people are in charge of finance and taxation, and jointly wrote a memorial, requesting reform of the fiscal and taxation system.

    ? Zhao Han went to the cabinet to hold a financial meeting. Five people, Pang Chunlai, Li Banghua, Song Yingxing, Fei Chun, and Wu Yingji, attended.

    Zhao Han asked the three cabinet ministers: "Younshu.com</a>”

    "There are still local officials collecting exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes from the previous Ming?" Zhao Han was very surprised and angry.

    Wu Yingji said: "This phenomenon is extremely serious in northern and southern Sichuan, and it was discovered by the inspectors of the Integrity Government. Because it mainly involves commercial taxation, the relevant government offices were informed of the facts, and His Majesty was not alarmed."

    Zhao Han said angrily: "Immediately draw up an edict, listing all kinds of regular taxes, and designate all the rest as exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes. Whoever dares to collect illegally will be corrupt and pervert the law!"

    This kind of situation also made Zhu Yuanzhang so angry that the local officials even collected taxes on the small people who went to the city to sell dates.

    Of course, Zhao Han is not as conscientious as Zhu Yuanzhang.  Zhu Yuanzhang does not levy commodity tax on wedding and funeral items, pens, inks, papers and inkstones and other cultural items, but they are all taxed here in Zhao Han.

    The six people discussed for a full day, and finally roughly determined the tax reform plan. As for the details, further discussions will continue.

    Industrial and commercial taxes, tolls, and operating taxes are all confirmed in a unified manner to remove the last obstacle to revitalizing commerce.

    The money and grain exchange business of Datong Bank has also been reduced from two or three towns to one office in each county.

    The national tax and land tax are also subdivided again, reducing the local retention of agricultural tax and increasing the proportion of agricultural tax deportation to the central government.  Setting up local Changping warehouses is no longer a matter for local officials. Datong Bank's money and grain exchange offices in counties are equivalent to the Changping warehouses established by the state.

    This adjustment of the bank's money-to-grain exchange business will definitely catch a lot of grain rats, probably enough to behead them.

    After the adjustment of the tax system, the provincial governments should provide financial support to areas with particularly difficult financial conditions, such as poverty-stricken mountains, so as not to fail to pay official salaries in the future.

 Text 625 [Jiahe Xiangrui]

    The details of the tax reform plan have been drawn up, but there is no time to formally promote it.

    Zhao Han went to work as usual today, but found that the female officials, maids of honor, and living historians all had joyful expressions on their faces.

    "Did you go out and pick up money?" Zhao Han joked.

    Li Xiangjun replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, local officials report auspiciousness."

    The smile on Zhao Han's face disappeared, replaced by a bored expression.

    Li Xiangjun quickly explained: "Your Majesty, this auspiciousness is not fake, it is in the lacquered wooden box on the desk."

    Zhao Han walked over to sit down, opened the box, and there was an ear of rice lying in it.  And one rice with two ears is extremely rare. This kind is called Jiahe, which has been regarded as auspicious since ancient times.

    Zhao Han said: "Give it to the Secretary of Agriculture and let them use it for breeding. If it doesn't produce any good results, forget it. As for the local officials, let them be kind to the government and love the people. Next time you meet Jiahe, don't make a fuss."

    Ding Shijing, the official historian who recorded the notes on daily life, couldn't help but say at this moment: "Your Majesty, Jiahe is the leader of the five grains. If the king is prosperous, two seedlings will show together. In Zhou De, three seedlings share the same ear; in Shangde, the same root and different ears  "Yu Xia De, different origins but same beauty. The two seedlings of this Jiahe plant are beautiful together, which is the reason for your majesty's virtue and prosperity."

    Zhao Han glanced at him, and asked: "If rice grows double ears, my virtue is prosperous. Is it because my virtue is weak because of natural disasters every year? You don't talk about strange powers, you don't want to speculate."

    "Your Majesty is wise."

    Ding Shijing no longer spoke, but wrote down: On August 5th, Chizhou Mansion offered auspiciousness.  One rice has two ears, and two seedlings compete for beauty.  The left and right are called the sun: this emperor is Desheng.  The above statement: If Jiahe is the virtue of the king, wouldn't disasters be the loss of the king?  Don't speak strange powers, don't speculate on God's will.

    One rice with two ears is most likely due to a genetic mutation. Anyway, after hundreds of years, no research has yielded any results.

    Regardless of whether they are flattering the emperor or not, local officials will definitely offer Jiahe when encountering this matter, and they dare not keep it by themselves.  Zhao Han can't reward, otherwise it will bring a crooked atmosphere; nor can he punish, otherwise it will discourage the enthusiasm of officials.

    In the afternoon, Chen Xisong, who advised the Agriculture Department, was ordered to have an audience.

    This guy didn't change his clothes on purpose, and there was still muddy water on his trouser legs. He knew that the emperor liked such images.

    Zhao Han pointed to the lacquer box and said, "There is a plant of Jiahe, you can use it to breed, and you can play with it however you like. If you don't grow something famous, it's not your fault."

    "Abiding by the order!" Chen Xisong carefully took the box away.

    Zhao Han asked: "How about promoting new crops?"

    Chen Xisong said: "Your Majesty, sweet potatoes and corn have spread all over the southern provinces. Especially in the mountains and hills, every family grows them. Farmers found that planting corn every year will reduce the fertility of the land. Interplanting beans, but there is no such concern  Therefore, if you want to plant corn in the middle field, it is best to interplant corn and beans. After the ears of corn are fruitful, there is no need for too much water and fertilizer, and sweet potatoes can be interplanted at this time. Then a piece of land can be planted with corn, sweet potatoes, and beans at the same time.  Yields are doubled without compromising the fertility of the land.”

    "This method is very good." Zhao Han praised.

    Chen Xisong said: "It has been implemented in various provinces, and the farmers are very happy. Therefore, despite years of disasters, there is always enough food. Even when there is no harvest, the price of rice has never exceeded 11 yuan per catty. When the harvest is good in some areas, rice  The price is even only two yuan per catty."

    "Two words?"

    Zhao Han frowned, and immediately said to Li Xiangjun: "I forgot about this matter, and immediately ordered the cabinet to spread it to the local counties. Datong Bank sets the lowest price for money and grain exchange every year.  Two cents per catty is allowed. Otherwise, once the natural collection is cancelled, the land tax will only be collected in silver in the future, and farmers will inevitably suffer heavy losses. In addition, the lowest price of grain in each county must be reported to the imperial court every year. Inspectors of clean government will draw a few  Counties, check whether the pricing is arbitrary."

    In all dynasties and dynasties, there have been times when there were two coins and one catty of rice.

    But it is different now. Due to the large inflow of silver and copper, silver dollars and copper coins are minted every year.  In some economically developed regions, there are already signs of inflation, and the price of rice at two pennies is really too low.

    After Zhao Han ordered, he said: "You continue."

    Chen Xisong said: "As for the barren mountainous areas, corn and sweet potatoes are everywhere. Countless mountain people rely on these two crops for their livelihood. Last year, Guangxi's corn production far exceeded that of wheat, sorghum and other grains, becoming second only to wheat and sorghum.  Rice is the second largest crop."

    The high yield of corn is certain, and there are many advantages.

    It is pure nonsense to say that ancient corn was not that powerful, and the yield was actually very small, because farmers voted with their stomachs.  Take Guangxi as an example. In the early Qing Dynasty, corn was only grown for children to eat and play.  But after twenty or thirty years, the mountains and plains are full ofnbsp; The distribution of spoils after the war is the bourgeois revolution—the Lord Protector Cromwell first wins over the army and civilians, and resists the king's counterattack.  Then they broke their promises and attacked the army and civilian parties. The fruits of the revolution were stolen by the gentry and nobles, which is very similar to the 1911 Revolution in China.

    Having said so much, I just want to express one meaning, the big battles that Europe should fight are all over.

    The next European countries paid more attention to overseas colonization.  In the future, even if there is a war, it will be based on maritime interests, and exchanges between China and Europe will become more frequent and closer.

    The overseas sales of Chinese goods will reach another peak, and the customers are those Europeans!

    Zhao Han traveled to a hellish period of successive years of natural disasters, and it was also a heyday of maritime trade.

 Body 626 [Ryukyu]

    There is no grand ceremony for the emperor to accept his concubine.

    Princess Aisha of Brunei lit two red candles, put on a wedding dress, and had sex with Emperor Zhao.

    Not even a concubine, just a concubine.

    Lu Tianxiang was a little bit better, after all, he chose a good day and an auspicious day.

    She didn't resist attacking being a concubine, on the contrary she was rather proud and excited.  After all, the emperor is a great hero, and he can't be a female general, so it's not bad to marry a hero.

    Just when Lu Tianxiang officially entered the palace, the Cossacks of Tsarist Russia traveled across Siberia and saw the Pacific Ocean.

    They named the river flowing into the Pacific Ocean the Okhot River.  And at the mouth of the river, it is planned to build a fortress, the Okhotsk Fortress.  In another time and space, the sea area of ??the Pacific Ocean is also known as the "Sea of ??Okhotsk".

    At the southern end of the sea area, there is a large island, which is Sakhalin Island.

    Regarding Sakhalin Island, Nuer Gandusi, which belonged to the Ming Dynasty before, all surrendered to the rule of the Qing Dynasty.  Now that the Manchu and Qing dynasties are declining, the natives on the island no longer pay tribute, but they have not risen against the Manchu and Qing rule.

    And just three years ago, Japan drew a national map and included Sakhalin and Hokkaido into Japanese territory for the first time.

    Now, Sakhalin Island will be targeted by Tsarist Russia again.

    In the entire Chinese court of Datong, except for Zhao Han, no one knew the existence of Sakhalin Island.  Even Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua didn't know anything about it. They only knew that the most northeastern place was once the slave Gandusi of the Ming Dynasty. The official files of the Ming Dynasty had to be checked for the specific situation.

    Of course, the same is true of Tsarist Russian monarchs and ministers. They don't care about Siberia, as long as the Cossacks can get fur.

    The problem is the world of ice and snow, those Cossacks are not supermen, why can they reach the Pacific coast?

    Just say one thing and you will understand.

    Four years ago, 132 Cossacks fought all the way to the north bank of Heilongjiang.  Not to mention burning, killing and looting along the way, due to lack of food, they even ate 50 Daur residents.

    The story was spread by the escaped captives, and quickly spread throughout Heilongjiang, and everyone knew that the Cossacks were cannibals.  The residents of the middle and lower reaches of Heilongjiang gave up their infighting and united to fight against the Cossacks.  132 Cossacks,

    There are only 53 people who have successfully returned.

    Later, the people of Northeast China fought against Cossacks, and there were many records of Cossacks eating people.

    This is the secret of the Cossacks conquering Siberia. If there is not enough food, they will eat human flesh.  As long as we can win the battle, there is no problem of supply at all, and the enemies killed or captured can be used as food.

    Early morning.

    Lu Tianxiang, who was a married woman for the first time, lay in the emperor's arms and couldn't get up, and asked: "Your Majesty, I have become a concubine, can I go to the horse farm to play at any time?"

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Let's go again in a few days. It's just the beginning of autumn, and the prey is fat. First go to the horse farm to ride horses, and then go to the hunting ground to hunt. Call everyone together."

    "Hunting is good. I haven't hunted since I came to Nanjing!" Lu Tianxiang suddenly became happy.

    Zhao Han got bored with the new concubine for a while, and then dressed and ate under the service of the maid, and then went for a walk to work in the Palace of Qinzheng.

    After randomly reviewing more than ten memorials, Zhao Han discovered a strange thing.

    ?The Ryukyu King Shangxian died of illness. Since Shangxian had no son, his younger brother Shangzhi proclaimed himself the eldest son.  Send uncle Mao Taijiu,

    The chief minister, Jin Siyi, came to Nanjing to request the official canonization of the king.

    The Cabinet's reply is: The Lord of the Ryukyu Kingdom, the first and the second ends, please Your Majesty to decide.

    Zhao Han summoned the cabinet ministers and asked, "Master of the Ryukyu Kingdom, why are you at both ends?"

    Li Banghua replied: "According to reports from Fujian and Zhejiang officials, merchants from Fujian and Zhejiang provinces often go to Ryukyu to do business. But in many cases, their goods cannot be bought and sold freely, and they are dictated by Japan's Satsuma clan.  At the same time as proclaiming a vassal, he is also proclaiming a vassal to Japan. How can a country allow two lords if one daughter does not marry two husbands?"

    "What good does it do for Ryukyu to surrender to Japan?" Zhao Han asked.

    Li Banghua said: "It is not good for the Ryukyu country, but it is good for some ministers of the Ryukyu country."

    "Let's talk about it in detail," Zhao Han said.

    Li Banghua said: "During the Wanli period, most of the Ryukyu monarchs and ministers were close to China, and were invaded by the Satsuma domain of Japan.

    After the defeat, the Ryukyu ministers who were close to China were either killed or dismissed from office.  The Ryukyu officials who were close to Japan not only took the opportunity to take power, but also controlled the king.  The leader is the Mao family, the recently deceased Ryukyu king,

    Also, the present son of the Ryukyu family was born to a daughter of the Mao family who married the previous king.  "

    Zhao Han asked: "This time?.

    Song Yingxing said: "Immigrants in the northern provinces need a lot of money and food. To lay down Ryukyu and set up counties, you have to increase expenses, set up officials, run schools, and build systems. Everything will cost money. It will take at least ten years to make ends meet. Your Majesty seems to be  To beat Annan Our big butler will have a lot of headaches in the future."

    The chief butler is Fei Chun, who is often so tired that he wants to hit the wall.

    Li Banghua said: "According to your majesty, it seems that you still want to make North Korea a province. That is what really costs money and food. Fortunately, your majesty also knows the priorities and helped North Korea establish a currency system. It should not happen within ten years."  Support North Korea."

    Pang Chunlai returned to his office, leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

    He suffered too much when he was young, and his health was very bad. When he was old, he suffered from all kinds of problems.  Last year was better, but this year he is getting worse and worse. At this moment, he only thinks of resigning from office and returning to Liaodong for retirement. Unfortunately, the emperor has been reluctant to let him go.

    Since the emperor wants to toss, let's toss with the emperor.

    It is better to toss externally than to toss internally.

    **** &lt;/div&gt

 Text 627 [Kumi's thirty-six Chinese surnames]

    Mao Taijiu, Jin Siyi, Jin Yingyuan and other Ryukyu envoys were having fun in Nanjing when they were suddenly called away by officials from Honglu Temple.

    Compared with the Ming system, the functions of Honglu Temple have been adjusted.  In charge of foreign affairs, secondly in charge of banquet reception, and the working meals of various yamen inside and outside the capital are also separated from the functions of Honglu Temple.

    You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, even the elephants in the Royal Zoo ate grass and fodder provided by Honglu Temple.  Eunuchs and civil servants, who changed the law and were greedy for food expenses, Honglu Temple could only see the sky and cry poorly.  Internal employees also skipped meals, leading to state banquets for foreign guests, and foreign envoys were served with leftovers.

    "Meet Da Honghe!"

    The three Ryukyu envoys bowed in unison.

    Liu Xiangke has been promoted to You Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, and angrily scolded: "Don't put a high hat on me, you wait for the barbarians of the foreign country, and you actually serve the Japanese general as the master. What's your intention?"

    When the three envoys heard the words, they were all terrified.

    Mao Taijiu quickly said: "Ryukyu has served China for three hundred years, and has been favored by China for a long time. If it is not helpless, why is it willing to deviate from it? It is all because Japan sent troops,

    The small Ryukyu country is hard to resist, so it can only bear the humiliation and wait for the opportunity.  Now that China is strong and prosperous, the son of our country has requested canonization and is about to return to the embrace of his mother country.  If China can send troops to fight against Japan, our country will definitely be grateful, and there is no need to have two hearts.  "

    This is the truth. Although the Mao family has been a leading party for decades, the leading party also wants to stand on its own one day.

    A few decades is enough to wipe out all political enemies, not to mention that the daughter of the Mao family is still the Queen Mother.

    Now that the Mao family is full-fledged, the hidden purpose of coming to Nanjing this time is to restore relations with China.  When the time is right, China will be invited to send troops to seek the independence of the Ryukyu Kingdom, without paying tribute to Japan in business tax and food every year.

    But Liu Xiangke didn't listen to the explanation, and reprimanded: "The country that betrays the lord, and still wants to be granted? Go back and tell the false lord of Ryukyu that if he wants to be king, he will drive away the Japanese on the island and show his majesty some loyalty."  .In three months, if there are still Japanese officials collecting taxes in Ryukyu, our Celestial Dynasty will definitely send troops to punish them!"

    The Ryukyu Mission was expelled from Nanjing.

    On the way back to the country, Jin Yingyuan said anxiously: "The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty will not really send troops to fight, will he?"

    Mao Taijiu smiled and said: "It is best for China to send troops, which can scare the Japanese away. At that time, it will be nothing more than sending envoys to reprimand, and our country will just apologize.

    With the Japanese gone, we can collect a lot of business taxes every year, and we don't have to raise food for Satsuma.  When we come to China this time, we are in the right place!  "

    "Then do you want to expel the Japanese and show your loyalty to the emperor?" Jin Siyi asked.

    Mao Taijiu waved his hand and said: "Absolutely not. If we expel Japan, China will at most canonize the Ryukyu king, and most likely will not send troops to help, but Japan will send troops."

    ? When Japan attacked Ryukyu, Ryukyu rulers and ministers also asked Daming for help.

    But Ryukyu is too small, and it is located overseas, so Daming is not willing to work hard to help.

    Later, when Japan invaded North Korea, when the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty discussed it, the mainstream argument was: Japan, a small country, was not satisfied with encroaching on Ryukyu, so it came to invade North Korea again.  North Korea and Ryukyu are both vassal states of the Ming Dynasty, and they cannot blindly tolerate Japan's nonsense.

    And in another time and space, about ten years later, Ryukyu will once get rid of the control and exploitation of Japan with the help of the Qing government.

    However, Japan has cultivated too many rapes.

    Xiang Xiangxian, the most powerful politician, historian and reformer in Ryukyu, was trained by Japan and became the regent of Ryukyu.  From the source of ideology and culture, advocating the "theory of common ancestors between Japan and Ryukyu", Ryukyu was eventually assimilated by Japan.  You know, this guy belongs to the royal family of Ryukyu, and he also compiled the history books of Ryukyu.

    The Ryukyu Mission, after being reprimanded by a pass, returned home excitedly, waiting for China to send troops to fight.

    The Imperial Academy under Qian Qianyi’s charge also received a new assignment, and hurriedly read various historical materials and wrote articles proving that the Ryukyu people were descendants of China.

    Qian Qianyi suddenly felt dizzy. He knew about the existence of the Ryukyu Kingdom, but he hadn't researched the specific situation at all.  We can only organize people, look through the official archives of the former Ming Dynasty, and find that Ryukyu is a big fart. In the early Ming Dynasty, there were actually three countries, and the three kings didn't even have surnames.

    Today's Ryukyu king's surname is Shang, which was also given by Zhu Zhanji.

    Then make it up!

    According to the "Shan Hai Jing" records, Fujian is in the sea, and there are mountains in the northwest, which are called Zhongshan in Fujian.  The word "Haizhong" indicates that the land of ancient Fujian includes not only the inland of Fujian, but also islands such as Taiwan and Ryukyu.

    In ancient times, how could the Chinese people go to Ryukyu?

    can find historical evidence,Southern style, dressed in Han Chinese style.

    The soldiers guarding the fort are all Han Chinese.  When they saw the Chinese ships, they didn't fire at all. Now that they heard that the Zheng family was coming, they even came over to say hello with a smile.

    Not long after, hundreds of islanders came over.

    One of the old men walked tremblingly in front of Zheng Shen, hung on his crutches and asked, "This old man is the patriarch of the Zheng clan, which clan descendant are you?

    Zheng Shen replied: "The great-grandfather of the younger generation is Zheng Gong who tabooed Zhou."

    The old man laughed suddenly: "I am your uncle!"

    Zheng Shen was stunned for a moment, and then bowed: "The younger generation pays respects to uncle."

    The old man pointed to the fleet in the distance: "This is?"

    Zheng Shen explained: "It's good to teach my uncle to know that this Ryukyu country will be China's Ryukyu County in the future, and my nephew will be the first magistrate of Ryukyu County."

    "Okay, okay!" The old man was overjoyed.

    The rest of the islanders also smiled.

    Another old man raised his crutches and shouted: "The thirty-six surnames of Kume, all of you are listening. From every household, there are people who contribute their strength, and help my dynasty win Ryukyu!"

    This island, guarding the mouth of the sea, is the only place to pass from the sea to the Ryukyu King City.

    There are thirty-six surnames on Kume Island, all of whom are Han Chinese.

    They have armies and forts to protect the royal city from attack by sea.  At the same time, he also helped Ming Dynasty monitor the Ryukyu monarchs and ministers, and participated in the tribute trade for generations.

    When the Japanese invaded Ryukyu, they dared not pass through here, because they could not withstand the fort attack.

    Ryukyu resisted Japanese aggression, and it was Zheng Jiong who led the Han people in Kume Island to resist. The Ryukyu king did not send troops at all at that time.  Moreover, after Zheng was captured and sacrificed, the Ryukyu monarchs and officials slandered Zheng Jiong as a traitor.

    Kume's 36 surnames have been officials in Ryukyu for generations, but now they are being suppressed miserably.

    Of course, there are also those who are forced to cater to Japan, such as Cai Jin of the Cai family, who is now serving as the official doctor of the Ryukyu Kingdom.

    Zheng Shen stayed on the island for less than half an hour, and all the young and strong Han families with the 36 surnames were dispatched to help the Datong army capture the port together with weapons.

 Text 628【Soldiers without blood】

    ,

    The thirty-six surnames of Kume all come from Fujian, and they have been continuously immigrating. After hundreds of years, they were changed to Japanese surnames, such as Yui Aragaki, who came from the Lin family among the thirty-six surnames, such as Momoe Yamaguchi, who came from thirty-six surnames.  Among the six surnames, the Yang family started to take the boat and Yang Yan

    ?, Jin family, Cai family, Ma family, and Zhang family's five surnames followed Zheng Shenyi to Shuri City to report to the highest-level ministers of the Ryukyu Kingdom. They were one minister, three divisions and one minister respectively.

    , It is the same as the six parts, all of which are Han Chinese.  At this time, the three officials named Mao Taiyun, Ma Shenglian, and Zhang Bangyan are bad, bad, Tang Guo sent troops to call!

    In fact, there is no need for them to report the news at all. There are already tax officials at the pier, who will go upstream in a small boat to report to Wangcheng

    "What should I do? What should I do?" King Shangzhi panicked, and Prime Minister Shang Sheng was equally flustered, turning his attention to Mao Taiyun.

    Mao Taiyun is not only the third officer, but also the king's uncle. He said with confidence: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid. The Tang Kingdom is vast and rich in resources and the world is rich. I don't like the islands of Ryukyu. The emperor of Tang sent troops this time. On the contrary, it is beneficial to our country.  Those Japanese, His Majesty should immediately submit a petition to plead guilty, and if necessary, go to Nanjing to plead guilty in person, and they will definitely be able to obtain a quality. After hearing this, they will not panic, and they will nod and say that the Datong army has killed them in Naha Port.  Shuri Castle did not gather troops to defend. The monarchs and ministers were busy writing pleadings and surrender forms, and even asked soldiers to open the city gates, and even clear the roads inside and outside the city, so as to welcome the Chinese heavenly soldiers and generals in Naha Port.  The established economic and trade office, and by the way, Akasaki Tadamasa, as a retainer of the Satsuma domain, has been sent to Ryukyu for two years. He has enjoyed the delicious food and spicy food here, and he has long been reluctant to leave, and has no desire to return to Japan at all.

    "How many Tang troops have come?" Akasaki Tadamasa asked the general officer of the firm in surprise and replied: "There are dozens of warships, large and small, and I don't know how many soldiers have come."  What’s wrong with this? He only has two low-level warriors under his command, a few tax collectors with pens, and twenty Satsuma clans who are resident in Ryukyu and quickly returned to Kagoshima by boat to report the letter!” Akasaki Tadomasa finally  In response, the officer said: The port has been blocked.  "

    Everyone was silent and speechless.

    This broken place, which is in the shape of a trumpet mouth, has been blocked by the Datong Navy for a long time. Even a small fishing boat can't be rowed over the head. Li Dingguo led troops to land a team of Datong soldiers.  The merchants were all scared and hid in their houses. The Han people on Kume Island ran over, and the old man surnamed Zheng pointed to the front and said, "General, there is where the Japanese are entrusted!

    Fu Dao: "The first brigade listened to the order and sent two battalions to capture the enforcement office, and the rest of the soldiers occupied the main roads. The second brigade listened to the order and cooperated with the sea to hand over Japanese ships and goods. A waist boat and a box of goods must not be missed.  But if there is resistance, let’s shoot and kill. Japan sent 3,000 troops to subdue Ryukyu. Today’s Datong Army has sent 10,000 troops, all of which are strong troops recalled from the north. It’s like shooting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns.

    ?, together with the clerks, there were only thirty Japanese in total.  Li Dingguo actually sent a group of soldiers to surround Akasaki Sizheng, who was still thinking about giving up. When he saw the Datong Army, he immediately gave up resisting Akasaki Tadamasa.  They almost didn't recognize their father on the spot, arrested them all, and sealed up all documents and goods!

    Two or three hundred Datong troops rushed in, and tied up Akasaki Tadomasa in minutes.  The two low-ranking Japanese warriors were still hesitant to draw their swords. As soon as they put their hands on the handles of the swords, more than a dozen Datong soldiers raised their spears.

    The two immediately knelt down and begged for mercy. On the pier, and the trading post of the Dutch East India Company, they were also surrounded by the Datong Army at this moment.

    Barker, the person in charge of the trading station, is a glassy baker who has worked his way up from the bottom.  He dared to open the door and asked

    "You are Chinese soldiers and soldiers of Datong,

    Looking at the red-haired ghost curiously, the other party can speak Chinese to occupy the pier, and the action of occupying the pier was solved without bloodshed.

    Set up a brigade to station here, and ask the marines to continue to block the port.  He personally led a brigade, changed to a small boat, and entered Tangtang by land and water to fight towards the Ryukyu King City.

    Shuri Castle, the royal city of Ryukyu, is only a few miles away from the port. It is connected to the port by a river. As soon as we walked halfway, the king sent officials to greet him. He knelt down on the side of the road respectfully and shouted long live the Chinese heavenly soldiers and generals.  .

    Li Dingguo ignored it and continued to march towards the royal city.

    Walking outside the city, the Ryukyu monarchs and ministers were all kneeling there, and the city gate was open with no soldiers to defend it.

    Ji Dingguo said: "Come and read the imperial decree!"

    Take out an edict

    "Emperor Fengtian Yingmin issued an imperial edict: The country of Ryukyu has been a vassal of China since ancient times; the people of Ryukyu are separated by hundreds of flowers and overshadowed by Japan. There is no king or beast.??And the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Liuqiu National Children's Ball Pseudo-Muzimu.  Now that the ball is taken back, Weiguo has established a county and changed it to Banqiu County, Taiwan Prefecture, Fusu Province.  Banqiu's false master, false royal family, and false three officials were all escorted to Nanjing for trial.  The Mao family and the Jin family moved to Taiwan, and they could not stay in Ryukyu for another day.

    this!  "

    The content of the imperial decree was announced, and the Ryukyu monarchs and ministers were so frightened that they pretended to steal the country's gold coins. It is a branch of the Mijin family and moved out of Kume Island a hundred years ago.  To put it bluntly, the current King of Ryukyu is a Fujianese who later discussed that his ancestral surname should be. This is why a court treasurer can bribe officials to steal the country.  Kume's thirty-six surnames are Han people, and they joined forces to support the division of the Jin family at that time, and even the real king may be killed by them. There are too many thirty-six surnames, and the Ryukyu country is too small, so the spoils will definitely be divided unevenly. Naturally, the Mao family has always been rich.  In recent years, power has also been in the hands of the opposition.  They wooed the Cai family, Zhang family, Ma family, Weng family and other clans, and took advantage of the power of Japan to gain power, while the Zheng family was suppressed the worst.

    Four words, the Han people fight among themselves!

    ? At this moment, Zhongsheng Gonggong, who was out of the city, immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, unwilling to give up his power and wealth in Ryukyu

    "General Rongren" Mao Taiyun cried and crawled in front of Li Dingguo.

    Suppose that when this guy finished speaking, Li Dingguo turned Qi Rui over with one kick, and ordered: "Catch it!

    Mao Taiyun howled and cried loudly: "I am wronged

    The king of the ball is still a hostage. Seeing his uncle being arrested and hearing that he will be taken to Nanjing for trial, he got up in extreme panic and wanted to escape.  After only a few steps away, Datong soldiers chased after him and pinned the king to the ground. All he could do was to complain and blame Mao Taiyun: "It's all about you, saying that it is best for the Tang Dynasty to send troops, and now we are all doomed."  !

    It's all your fault, it's all your fault Li Dingguo said to Zheng Shen: "Follow me into the city and search the property of the puppet king of Ryukyu and criminal officials!"

    The layout of Shuri Castle completely imitates the Forbidden City in Beijing. This thing is a miniature copycat.

    There are Han people everywhere in the inner city, almost all the shops are Han business, and Chinese is also the common language here.  The thirty-six surnames who first immigrated to the Ryukyu King for more than 200 years have spread all over the Ryukyu Islands. For example, Jin Yuan, who steals the country, was not born on Kume Island, but on Yizheng Island, 160 miles north of the King City.  Li Dingguo led troops to occupy the palace. Not long after, representatives of thirty-six surnames came to congratulate him. Among these people, most of them were very happy.  The head of the Weeping Clan stood in front of Li Dingguo, headed madly, and said, "General Rong Piao, my Jin family has nothing to do with the false king. Although the false king is the ancestor of Jin, he is not acting according to the imperial edict of the Kumekin clan," Li Dingguo immediately interrupted.  , "Both the Golden Retrievers, go back and make preparations. I will send a boat to move your clan to Taiwan. Regardless of men, women, old or young, each person can bring fifty catties of things on the road. You can also bring bedding, gold and silver, only by weight.  Yes, since Licheng’s website doesn’t count as the market leader. uu Reading &lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.  com&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</  a>

    The head of the clan has been silent all the time. He knows that it is useless to ask. This is the imperial decree issued by the Chinese emperor.

    With a big wave of Li Dingguo's hand, those surnamed Jin and Mao were all dragged out. Li Dingguo said to the remaining thirty-four families: "You also have to relocate. At least half of the clan members from each family will be moved from Kume Island to disobey the king.  It is a place that has been transformed. When you go there, you are the head of the village and town who want to teach the natives to speak Chinese and change their Chinese names to Chinese surnames.

    All families were shocked at first, and then went back to the base camp of Daxi Island. The other sea tribes only need to move half of them, and there will be no loss.  And moving to the territory of the natives is tantamount to expanding by order,

    It will greatly enhance the power of the family in Ryukyu.

    Zhao Han didn't want to spend too much money and food, so he could only entrust the thirty-four surnames to govern and educate Ryukyu.  There will definitely be chaos during the period, such as the exploitation of scholars by the Han people, but this kind of chaos can be tolerated.  They will even garrison 500 troops to help the Han Chinese suppress those natives who were forced to rebel. After decades, the entire Ryukyu Islands will probably speak Chinese.  The big family is deeply rooted.  If you are really disobedient, just wash it again.

    Li Dingguo also said:

    Now there are thirty-four surnames, and each family chooses a young man, over the age of fifteen and under the age of twenty, to study at Jinling University in the south.  Ten years later, the mayor of Liuqiu County must hold a diploma from Jinling University.  Also, the officials in charge of the county,

    Locals of Liuqiu are not allowed to serve, and the Zengtian court sent Daoliu officials to serve.

 Text 630 [Crushing Bureau]

    ,

    The Datong Army that attacked Amami Oshima had a total of more than 30 large and small ships, 5,000 troops from the army and 1,000 troops from the navy.

    Most of the islands are surrounded by mangroves, and large ships cannot dock at all.  Small and medium-sized ships can land in the four fishing ports of Southwest, Northwest, Northeast and Zhengdong.  In the rest of the villages, Datong soldiers all landed in small boats, and under the guidance of the guide, they rowed ashore through the mangroves.

    Six thousand soldiers, divided into six groups, set out, intending to end the battle as quickly as possible.

    The main target is the landing point in the northeast, which is the urban area of ??Amami hundreds of years later.  There is the most arable land on the island, and of course the largest population. It is ruled by a Ryukyu royal lord, and all the Japanese are here.

    Zhu Dafu joined the army in the ninth year of Chongzhen. Before joining the army, he worked as a farmer and soldier for two years. Now he is leading 1,500 people.

    He was afraid that there would be an ambush on the island, so he asked Shi Daxuan for fire support.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The artillery smashed more than a dozen shots and destroyed two houses, one of which was the Japanese office.  No coincidence, but the size of the house (there were small thatched cottages everywhere else) and its proximity to the coast made it a prime target for naval artillery.

    After the shelling was over, many aborigines in the thatched huts on the bank were frightened and ran away frantically, and ran to hide in the forest behind them.

    Finally, Zhu Dafu successfully led his troops ashore.

    After some searching, the soldiers came back and reported that all the people who hadn't escaped were indigenous civilians, and no enemy could be seen here.

    Lin Jingchong took the initiative to communicate with the aborigines. He also comes from the 36th surname of Kume and may be the ancestor of Yui Aragaki. He will bring his wife and children to settle in Amami Oshima in the future.

    Not long after, Lin Jingchong gave half a catty of rice to the aborigines, detected the information very smoothly, and reported back:

    "General, the Ryukyu governor (lord) of this place left with the Japanese two days ago. He also raised troops and plundered the food of the nearby natives. It is said that he went to the southern mountains and forests to join forces with another Ryukyu governor.

    Zhu Dafu asked: "The family members are also taken away?"

    Lin Jingchong said: "Not only the family, but all valuables have been removed. It seems that they plan to live in the mountains and forests for a long time, and come out after the Chinese army leaves."

    "The island is full of mountains?" Zhu Dafu asked.

    Lin Jingchong said: "The coast around the island is cultivated land, and the middle is full of mountains and forests."

    Zhu Dafu said with a headache: "If the enemy is hiding all his heart, it's not easy to fight. You have to search the mountains slowly to find someone."

    The "difficult to fight" here refers to the inability to complete the battle within the predetermined time.  This time the navy and army were dispatched together, not only as simple as recovering Ryukyu, but also had to quickly resolve the Ryukyu issue and go to Japan for a visit.

    The Satsuma clan often acted as pirates and robbed Chinese merchant ships. This matter must be resolved smoothly!

    If you want to solve it, the navy alone cannot do it.  By the time the Datong Navy was dispatched, the Japanese pirates had already run away and turned into the Satsuma Navy Navy, hiding in the port of Kagoshima.  In this case, the army must also send troops to go directly to the door to raise troops to question the crime.

    Zhu Dafu ordered: "Carry a few bags of grain off the boat, and let a few more natives lead the way. Tell them, as long as they find the target, each will be rewarded with ten catties of white rice!"

    In the forest fifteen miles away to the east.

    Shang Kun sat in the thatched hut, eating fresh fish caught in the mountain stream, worried: "Will these Tang soldiers really leave?"

    Shang Hong said: "They will definitely leave. They sent a lot of troops and consumed a lot of food every day. But we took all the food away, and Tang soldiers would leave after eating the food. It would be good to hide in the mountains for a while. If Tang soldiers came  , fighting in the woods, their big artillery can't be used, but our bows and arrows can kill people."

    Hideo Yamamoto was eating tea and rice, and carefully selected buildings to be assassinated. He said: "I heard from my father that Tang's army does not know how to fight at all. It depends on the number of people.  To lure them, set up an ambush in the mountains to defeat them! No matter how big Tang's warships are, can they still sail into the mountains?"

    "It's better to be cautious." Shang Hong objected.

    When the Satsuma domain first invaded Ryukyu, Japanese soldiers burned, killed and looted, making Ryukyu people miserable.  At that time, the Ryukyu monarchs and ministers were very hostile to Japan, but in recent years the relationship has eased.

    First, under the pressure of Ming Dynasty, Japan gave up the annexation of Ryukyu and gave the king and officials more autonomy.  The second is the Ryukyu royal family, which must send young people to study in Japan, so as to cultivate more pro-Japanese factions.

    Before we finished our lunch, a soldier suddenly came to report the news.

    However, two Datong armies on the east coast of Amami Oshima, one with 1,000 soldiers and one with 800 soldiers, are heading towards their hiding place under the leadership of the islanders.

    "Hurry up and go deeper into the forest!" ??Must take a good lesson.

    The wooden stick pierced his index finger again from between the nails. The venerable Japanese soldier suddenly couldn't hold on anymore, and hurriedly shouted: "I say, I say!"

    He said it was true, but Li Tang couldn't believe it completely.

    He divided the 800 soldiers into three groups, and at the suggestion of the village chief Shizhu, he climbed the mountain from three directions and surrounded them.

    Hideo Yamamoto quickly discovered the actions of the Datong Army and knew that his plan had been leaked.

    Shang Hong panicked and said, "Run away, the ambush is impossible."

    Hideo Yamamoto drew his sword and shouted, "We have a lot of people, and the Tang soldiers are not terrible. Moreover, we are on the mountain and have the advantage of terrain. The Shimadzu family and the Ryukyu warriors all took up weapons and rushed down with me.  Kill the Tang soldiers!"

    Shanghong hesitated to speak. Although he was a Ryukyu royal family, the Japanese were the emperor.

    More than 1,300 miscellaneous soldiers took the initiative to fight out like this, and rushed to the front of the 300 Datong Army-the other 500 Datong Army divided their troops to outflank the mountains on both sides.

    The enemy army came aggressively, and there were more than a thousand people.

    The three hundred Datong soldiers did not panic at all. Instead, the indigenous village chief who led the way was frightened.

    "Let the arrow, let the arrow!"

    Hideo Yamamoto roared and ordered that there were only about a hundred archers under his command, and most of them were soil bows for hunting.

    Due to the condescending position, these bows and arrows can be thrown at the Datong army indiscriminately.

    But the forest is very dense, and most of the arrows are blocked by the canopy when they fall.

    "Follow me to kill!"

    Hideo Yamamoto held his samurai sword and charged forward with a roar.  Encouraged by him, the soldiers behind him rushed down with strange screams.

    The two sides approached quickly, and they could almost see each other's eyebrows, Li Tang said: "Blow the horn and let go!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Three hundred tunnel-fired guns are divided into two rounds.

    Hideo Yamamoto was hit by a bullet in the thigh during the first round of firing, fell to the ground and rolled down the hillside.

    The smoke from the volley of guns has not dissipated, and the enemy has collapsed.

    Nearly half of the enemy troops running in the middle were killed or injured, and the enemy troops on both sides turned around and ran away in fright.

    The two Ryukyu royal families, Shang Hong and Shang Kun, stood on a higher mountain to watch the battle. At this time, they were so frightened that they didn't even dare to run away, because this was an island, and they would be discovered sooner or later.  Immediately returned to the station where he was hiding, intending to surrender with his family members. Even if he was taken to Nanjing for trial, at least he still had a chance of survival.

    When Hideo Yamamoto was rolling on a hillside, he hit a stone and fell into a coma.

    When he woke up, the wound on his thigh had been bandaged, and he found himself captured.

    The next day, he was brought in front of Li Tang, surrounded by Datong army with full armor and stomach, which made Hideo Yamamoto feel a sense of despair—even the lord's elite soldiers can't beat this kind of strong army.

    Li Tang smiled and said: "You are the biggest official on this island, so you must know a lot of inside information. It's okay if you don't know, I can teach you what to say, and you can say what you want. If you want, you can live, and go to Kagoshima with us.  "

    Kagoshima?

    Tang Bing is going to fight Satsuma?

    Hideo Yamamoto was terrified, how arrogant he was before, and how frightened he is now, he nodded and said:

    "Yes, yes, the villain will be the general's loyal dog from now on!"

 Text 632 [The besieged city cannot be rescued]

    Kagoshima Bay, the northernmost point.

    More than a dozen Zhuyin ships of the Satsuma clan, as well as more than 20 small offshore ships, have been forced to retreat by the Datong Navy.

    After retreating further, it's time to go ashore.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Dozens of Datong Navy warships fired at the Japanese fleet in a fan shape.  There is no tactics at all, this bay is too narrow, there is no room for the fleets of both sides to cruise.

    It is formation bombardment, to see whose ship is hard and whose gun is accurate.

    Shimadzu Mitsuhisa stood on the wall of Tsurumaru Castle, holding a binoculars to watch the battle.  But the battle site was thirty miles away from the city, and the telescope really couldn't observe thousands of miles away.

    In the fourteenth minute of the naval artillery battle, an unlucky Satsuma battleship was blasted out of a big hole and began to flood.  Immediately afterwards, at the twenty-eighth minute, the captain's room, the flagship of the Satsuma clan, was smashed to pieces.

    For the Satsuma Navy, this kind of naval battle is simply impossible.  The number of Chinese warships is larger, the tonnage is larger, and the artillery is stronger. The sea area of ????the battle is still very narrow, and there is no way to hide. They can only choose to bombard on the spot.

    Those small offshore ships of the Satsuma clan took the lead in fleeing.

    How to escape?

    ? Stop the boat on the shore, and all the soldiers and sailors landed, planning to run for thirty miles to escape back to Tsurumaru City.

    Li Dingguo put down the binoculars: "Order, don't let an enemy go!"

    3,000 Datong Army soldiers are waiting near the Kagoshima Police Academy hundreds of years later. This is the only way for the enemy navy to escape back to the city.

    "kill!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    More than 400 Japanese routed soldiers managed to escape from the sea, and ran into a volley of guns from the Datong Army head-on.

    Some fell down on the spot, some knelt down and begged for mercy, and some turned around and fled to the northern mountains.

    Miyazaki Shiro drew his sword out of its sheath and said to more than 20 wild warriors behind him: "The time has come for us to show our talents.

    Long live His Majesty the Emperor of China!  "

    "Onboard, onboard!"

    A group of wild samurai chanted onboard slogans and held up katana swords to chase down the broken soldiers trying to enter the mountain.

    These guys haven't had a full meal for a few days since they were born. After serving in the Datong Army, they ate so much that they were bloated that day.  Repaying the favor of being full with death is a desperate charge.

    Miyazaki Shiro charged the fastest, and he heard General Li Dingguo's kindness to him. He even had tears in his eyes when he charged.

    What favor?

    However, Li Dingguo saw that this person was wearing worn-out shoes, which were really worn out, so he threw his old boots to him.

    These are a pair of cowhide boots, which Miyazaki Shiro never dreamed of.  Although the size was too big to fit, Miyazaki Shiro was so grateful that he even kept it safe and was reluctant to wear it. He only wore it on formal occasions to show his identity.

    "Hey!"

    Miyazaki Shiro let out a loud roar, and raised his sword to slash at the defeated soldiers in front.

    The rout soldier was stabbed in the back, fell to the ground and crawled forward, then turned over and begged: "Forgive, spare, I surrender!"

    Shiro Miyazaki looked ferocious, and stabbed with the knife in his backhand.  Not only did he stab the broken soldier in the stomach with a knife, but he twisted it half a circle and shouted: "General Li's enemies must die!"

    After finishing this person, Miyazaki Shiro chased another rout.

    The rout soldier stumbled over a stone and fell to the ground. Seeing Shiro Miyazaki chasing him, he forgot to run for his life in panic, knelt down and kept kowtowing to him.

    Miyazaki Shiro raised his sword and slashed fiercely, his sword skills were so accurate, his head flew up instantly.

    The rout soldiers quickly reacted and rushed towards the Datong soldiers.  Because as long as you kneel down and ask for surrender, Datong soldiers will not kill indiscriminately, but those wild warriors who surrender will surely die.

    After a battle ended, Miyazaki Shiro looked at the many prisoners and said with emotion: "General Li is so kind!"

    The wild samurai next to him is called Guitou Forty-eight. His ancestors should have been rich, because this surname belongs to the surname bestowed by the emperor.  Guitou Forty-eight's attention was not on the captives, but looked enviously at the soldiers of Datong: "The Heavenly Soldiers of the Tang Kingdom, even the ashigaru, have armor. If I have a set of this armor, I will definitely be able to revive the family.  "

    Miyazaki Shiro said: "So we have to swear to serve General Li. Not only will we be able to eat enough, we will make great contributions in the future, and maybe we will be awarded a set of armor."

    Guitou Forty-eight thought of those old boots, and immediately began to envy Miyazaki Shiro again.  Those were the cowhide boots worn by General Li. They were so precious. If I had come to seek refuge first, I would have given them to myself. Where would Shiro Miyazaki be?

    Li Dingguo called these wild warriors away, and reprimanded them coldly: "What did you say before the war??Looting the property of the shogunate should be severely punished!  Also, according to news from Chinese envoys, the Shimadzu family has been occupying the eight islands of Ryukyu.  The shogunate was not informed of this situation, and the tribute was not handed over to the shogunate. Mitsuhisa Shimadzu deserved to be punished!  "

    Matsudaira Chengju said: "There should be two steps. First, issue an order to denounce the crimes of the Shimadzu family and dismiss Shimadzu Hisamitsu from the post of family governor; second, send envoys to mediate and see how the Tang soldiers are willing to withdraw."

    Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded in agreement, and suddenly asked: "Can the navy of the shogunate fight the Chinese navy?

    Abe replied again: "There should be no distinction between equals. However, China has a vast land and abundant resources, and at this time the founding hero is in power. Even if the Chinese navy is defeated, it will be able to build large ships in two or three years. However, the warship of the shogunate sank.  If there is one less ship, we will not be able to consume the Emperor of China after all."

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone fell silent, thinking of the war decades ago.

    Although Japan invaded Korea, although it won many battles, it could not bear a few defeats.  The Ming army was unfavorable in the initial battle, so they continued to send reinforcements. As a result, the Chinese army fought more and more, while the Japanese army fought less and less.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu was not very happy, and after letting the ministers leave, he asked Yagyu Juhei: "Have you met the Chinese emperor, what kind of person is he?"

    Yagyu Jubei replied: "Young, heroic, majestic, like to laugh, and he is very kind and tolerant when he smiles."

    Iemitsu Tokugawa pondered for a long time, and then ordered: "The envoy sent to negotiate with China will go there on a large sailing ship.

    Let Tang people also see our warships!  "

    Japan has Spanish galleons, and there are two of them.

    One is more than 200 tons, and the other is more than 500 tons. They were built with the help of the Spaniards before falling out with Spain.

    (Tianzi's new book "The Number One Scholar in Brocade Clothes", about the Zhengde and Jiajing dynasties. Great work, highly recommended, back then

 Text 633 [Internal Contradiction]

    ,

    Before Japan closed its doors to the outside world, its navy’s superficial strength was stronger than that of Ming Dynasty, and fighting away from the coast is very likely to win three victories against Ming Dynasty.

    Of course, the premise is that people like Zheng Zhilong are excluded.

    The main ship of the shogunate is called "Ida Maru", with a displacement of 508 tons. It is a standard Spanish galleon (galen ship).  There is also a Galen ship with a displacement of 120 tons, and most of the rest are Zhuyin ships.

    Datemaru also carried the Japanese envoy, first went to Mexico, then went to Europe to visit the Pope, then visited France and Spain, and finally returned to Japan via the Philippines.

    At that time, Japan was still relatively open. It submitted the credentials to the Pope, and even requested to send more missionaries to Japan to preach.  But a few years later, when the mission returned to Japan, the shogunate was already expelling the missionaries, and the pope in Rome was very happy.

    "Japan also has such a large warship?" Li Dingguo held up his binoculars, his tone a little surprised.

    Hong Xu said with a smile: "The shogunate has only this big ship, which was built with the help of the Spaniards. The guys at the bottom of the box have all come here to negotiate, just because they don't want to lose their momentum."

    The two sides met at the mouth of the bay, each lowered their small boats, and the envoys of the two sides took the small boats to the shore for talks.

    ? Liu Xiangke proudly cupped his hands and said: "Liu Xiangke, Shaoqing of the Chinese Honglu Temple in Datong."

    The shogunate envoy, about 30 years old, bowed his hands in return and said: "Lin Efeng, the shogunate lawsuit and the speaker of the Five Classics."

    Lin Efeng was the son of the great Japanese scholar Luo Shan. In addition to serving as a shogunate litigator and teaching the Five Classics to Tokugawa Iemitsu, he was also a diplomatic adviser to the shogunate.  In addition, he also served as a Japanese historian.

    This guy speaks Chinese very fluently. After reporting their names to each other, they even scolded: "Liu Shaoqing, the Shimadzu family is the lord of the Japanese vassal. Even if there is an act of offending China, the emperor of your country should send a letter of credence, and the shogun will do it himself."  Punishment. Your country uses troops without authorization and fights without declaration. Is this in line with Confucian etiquette? Being rude is injustice! If your country insists on going its own way and wants to fight this unjust war, even though our country is small, we should accompany it!"

    Liu Xiangke was too lazy to chat with the other party, and hit the point directly: "What is the shogunate? I have been in heaven for many years,

    Those who canonize are all Japanese lords, and there is no known act of canonizing Japanese generals.  Even if the letter of credence is sent, it is also sent to the Japanese ruler, and it is not the turn of any shogun!  The Tokugawa clan, who took the lord of the country and ordered the Japanese princes, is truly inhumane and unrighteous.  Not to mention sending troops to conquer Satsuma, even if China sends troops to fight against the Tokugawa shogunate, it is a reasonable and just war!  "

    As soon as this remark came out, Lin Efeng was at a loss for words.

    Yes, according to Confucianism, the Tokugawa shogunate belonged to stealing the country.  And Japan is a vassal state of China, which is tantamount to stealing China's vassal state.

    China has sufficient reasons to send troops directly to kill the Tokugawa shogunate!

    Liu Xiangke disdainfully said: "If your Excellency is here to play tricks, please go back. After defeating Satsuma, I will lead the troops to Edo, and have a good talk with you in Edo city."

    Lin Efeng forcibly explained: "The lord of Japan has entrusted the power to the shogun, and he did not order the princes by coercing the emperor."

    Liu Xiangke sneered: "I sent troops here in Datong China, just to help the Japanese ruler to take charge of the government. Since it is not stealing the country, please ask the shogun to return the ruling to the ruler, so as not to cause criticism for being suspected of stealing the country."

    Liu Xiangke firmly grasped the weakness of the shogunate's stealing the country, and Lin Efeng couldn't talk anymore. If he continued to entangle, it would only become more loopholes.

    Lin Efeng coughed and changed the subject: "When the time is right, the shogunate will return the ruler. What we are talking about today is how can your country withdraw its troops?"

    Liu Xiangke repeated the previous request again.

    It's just that the military compensation has doubled, because after a few more battles, the ships of the Datong Navy were damaged, so a lot of ammunition and food were consumed one after another.

    Lin Efeng breathed a sigh of relief. China's withdrawal conditions were within the acceptable range of the shogunate.  It was nothing more than indemnity, and it was not the shogunate who paid the money anyway, so the Satsuma clan was in huge debt, which was beneficial to the shogunate's control.

    As for China taking back Ryukyu, it doesn't matter.

    ? At the beginning, the shogunate allowed the Satsuma clan to send troops to Ryukyu because of the Daming sea ban and the severance of diplomatic relations with Japan. Official trade could only use Ryukyu as a springboard.

    Now that China has opened up the sea, there are a large number of Chinese goods in the outer islands of Nagasaki, and the transactions have been monopolized by the shogunate. For the shogunate, the Ryukyu territory is dispensable, and only the Satsuma domain has suffered huge losses.

    Lin Efeng said suddenly: "The shogunate can cooperate with these requests. But, please, the emperor of your country, bestow a golden seal on one of the shogunate generals."

    This proposal exceeded Liu Xiangke's expectations.

    Over there at the shogunatep; Shimazu Tadaro asked: "What are your plans?"

    Shimadzu Hisaichi said: "The Tang soldiers have enough food and grass, and even the untouchables who are begging can give out surplus food. If this continues, the food in Tsurumaru City will only be exhausted. By that time, the Tang soldiers will spend time  The food consumption is even worse, and there will definitely be more money to be paid. Maybe he set fire to Tsurumaru Castle in a fit of anger. If the governor does not surrender, we should ask him to surrender. This is also for the sake of the Shimadzu family."

    Tadaro Shimadzu asked: "What if he still doesn't surrender?"

    Shimadzu Hisaichi said: "The governor of the family secretly occupied the eight islands of Ryukyu behind his back and monopolized the brown sugar of Amami Oshima. After this incident, General Tokugawa must have known about it, and he will definitely be questioned after the war. The Shimadzu family will change sooner or later.  A housekeeper.

    The second child was replaced, so it was natural for the third child to take over.

    Tadaro Shimadzu smiled and nodded: "Your Excellency has a long-term vision. This is the blessing of the Shimadzu family."

    Hisutichi Shimadzu also said: "The retainers and warriors in the city are thinking differently now. Some clamored to fight out of the city,

    Some people panicked after being besieged, we can secretly win over some people.  "

    "I'm in the city, and I have a few confidants who are willing to help." Shimadzu Tadaro said.

    The two looked at each other and smiled.

 Text 634 [Decision of the Shogunate]

    Edo, the shogunate.

    The six ministers under Tokugawa Iemitsu, those who are still alive, have gathered together.

    After listening to Lin Efeng's diplomatic report, the shogunate general Matsudaira Nobuzuna clamored: "The Tang Dynasty is too deceitful. If only the Satsuma clan pays compensation and apologizes,

    It's all tolerable for the time being.  But they punish the Hirado clan!  Two powerful vassals in a row were in distress, if the shogunate did not send troops, what would be the majesty of your Excellency the General?  Soldiers from all over the country should be summoned to fight to the death with those Tang soldiers!  "

    Masamori Horita came from a relatively humble background, and he had a clearer view of the middle and lower classes in Japan. He remonstrated: "Master General, our country has suffered natural disasters for many years, and a large army is forcibly conscripted to fight. I am afraid that common people will appear in various places. At least I, the Sakura Clan, did not  Enough food to fight the war."

    When the common people die, it is the peasant uprising.

    Years of floods, droughts and snowstorms have not only caused headaches for Zhao Han, but the generals and feudal lords in Japan have also been devastated.

    The Tokugawa shogunate reformed agricultural policies, encouraged farmers to open up wasteland, restrained land mergers, and unified the cultivation, marketing, and purchase of agricultural products, which was a response to natural disasters.

    Tadaaki Abe's character was more tactful, and he did not express his attitude, but said: "You can contact the Dutch first to see if the Netherlands is willing to jointly send troops.

    Ota Zizong is a man of culture, familiar with Confucian classics. He echoed: "China is like a strong Qin Dynasty. Although Japan is also strong, it is only similar to Qi. If this is the case, it should be combined vertically and horizontally. The Netherlands  There are many disputes with Chinese merchants when trading in Nagasaki, maybe the Netherlands is really willing to fight together."

    Abe also said again: "If the Netherlands sends troops, its ships are strong and its guns are strong, and it will definitely defeat Tang soldiers at sea. Japan and Tang are separated by sea. As long as they can defeat Tang's navy, no matter how powerful Tang's army is, it will have no roots in Japan."  Wood."

    Several important ministers, you say, I say, it seems that they all agree to form an alliance with the Netherlands.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu is also tempted, but he hasn't made a decision yet.  He looked at Lin Luoshan and asked, "You hesitated to speak several times, what exactly do you want to say?"

    Lin Luoshan bowed his hands to the crowd: "Your Majesty once went to Nanjing as an envoy. Today's China is different from the past. The Chinese Emperor Zhao Han was born at the end of the rivers and lakes. He was originally just a slave. He not only defeated the Ming Dynasty, rebels and barbarians,  The land of the big landlords was also distributed equally to the poor and the common people.

    In today's China, the people have enough food and clothing, and even beggars can't be found in big cities.  Even farmers in remote mountain villages are willing to die for the Chinese emperor.  "

    "The Chinese army that separates soldiers from peasants has hundreds of thousands of soldiers. It is said that the Chinese army that combines soldiers from peasants has millions of people. Once a war starts with China, even if its navy is wiped out, China has enough money to build warships.  At that time, not 10,000 people will come to Japan, but 100,000 or 200,000 people!"

    Ota Zizong has a very good relationship with Lin Luoshan, and the two have also collaborated in compiling the genealogy of the Wu family. He said with a smile: "Your Excellency is alarmist. How can the Chinese emperor afford to support millions of troops?"

    Iemitsu Tokugawa turned his head and asked the guard behind him: "You have also been to the Tang Dynasty, tell me about it."

    Yagyu Jubei has succeeded his father and is the intelligence chief of the Tokugawa shogunate.  He replied: "China is indeed rich and powerful, and there may not be millions of soldiers, but hundreds of thousands of troops are possible."

    Nobuzuna Matsudaira disdainfully said: "Even if there are ten million soldiers in Tang Dynasty, as long as its navy is destroyed, they can still swim to Japan to fight?"

    Iemitsu Tokugawa thinks this statement is reasonable. The Mongols were so powerful back then, wouldn’t they be blown out by a gust of wind when they attacked Japan?

    After thinking for a long time, Iemitsu Tokugawa said: "Test the attitude of the Dutch first."

    Nagasaki, Dejima.

    "What? Go to war with Tang?" Hasegawa Gonroku was inexplicably horrified.

    Lin Efeng sighed: "I haven't decided whether to go to war yet, let's test the Dutch people's thinking first."

    Hasegawa Gonroku said: "You don't need to try to know that the Netherlands dare not fight with Tang, but they will lie to us that they are willing to send troops."

    "Why is that so?" Lin Efeng asked.

    Gonroku Hasegawa explained: "The director of the Dutch merchants came to see me again and again and urged me to cut off the trade with China. However, they only dared to rob Chinese merchant ships secretly, and did not dare to fight openly at all. They only dare not let them go if they are sure.  Only under the premise of any ship, will we attack Chinese merchant ships."

    Hasegawa Gonroku's position is called "Nagasaki Magi".

    This is not a local official position, but the head of foreign trade in Japan as a whole. He only obeys the orders of Tokugawa Iemitsu, and also has some diplomatic powers.

    Hasegawa Gonroku has been dealing with the Dutch for more than ten years.  When a Dutchman pokes his ass, he knows what shit to do.

    Hasegawa Gonroku said:Kawakawa Iemitsu intends to kick the ball out.

    It's simple to convene feudal lords from all over the world to discuss matters.

    Because the feudal lords all over the country live in Edo for one year, and then return to the territory for another year.  When the feudal lord returns to the territory, the eldest son must be in Edo, and the eldest son can also hold meetings.

    A bunch of feudal lords or eldest sons soon gathered in the shogunate.

    Tokugawa Iemitsu explained the cause and effect clearly, and then said: "It is war or peace, and the relationship is important. I respect everyone's opinions. Come, bring paper and pen! Those who are willing to send troops, draw circles on the paper; those who do not want to send troops,  Just put a cross on the paper."

    Soon, the result will be announced.

    Except for the Satsuma and Hirado feudal clans, only three of them were willing to send troops, and the rest of the feudal lords all planned to watch the fun.

    Anyone who helps is a fool, who would like to do things that are not beneficial?

    Tokugawa Iemitsu nodded and said: "This is the decision made by all the samurai families. Since this is the case, I respect everyone. The Hirado and Satsuma feudal clans provoked the Tang Dynasty without authorization and did not obey the orders of the shogunate. The governors of these two families should be replaced.  Do it alone, and let them apologize."

    **** &lt;/div&gt

 Text 635 [Siege]

    Sakurajima, Day Camp.

    Li Dingguo felt a little irritated. He had besieged Tsurumaru City for almost a month, but no reinforcements came to rescue him.

    The tactic of besieging the city and fighting for aid has completely become a joke.

    The shogunate did not intend to gather troops to rescue the Satsuma domain, and the small lords within the Satsuma domain did not intend to send troops to rescue their family governor.  Originally sending troops to Japan, but now sending troops to Tsurumaru Castle, it cannot even be said to be fighting the entire Satsuma Domain.

    ? All parties stood still. Apart from the fear of angering China, there is another very important reason, that is, the military discipline of the Datong Army is really good.

    There was no burning, killing, looting, or looting of shops, but only besieging Tsurumaru City.

    This made Mitsuhisa Shimadzu's brothers very happy. They wished that the Datong Army would break through the city as soon as possible. Not only would they have the opportunity to succeed the family governor, but they could also receive the complete Tsurumaru Castle and the castle town.

    Thirty miles east of Tsurumaru Castle, there is also Kirishima Jingu, the legendary place where the grandson descended.

    Tiansun is the grandson of Amaterasu, the eight-foot Qiong Gouyu, the eight-foot mirror and the Kusanagi sword, who were brought down from the sky by this grandson.

    Such an important shrine, the Datong Army didn't even touch it—mainly because they were too lazy to climb the mountain.

    This approach also made the Japanese shogunate and various princes feel the strong goodwill of the Chinese army.

    Since the shrine will not be demolished, since the shrine will not be burned, killed and looted, then the city will be besieged, and the lord of the Satsuma domain will be replaced.

    "My lord, don't worry," Miyazaki Shiro said. "The princes of the Satsuma domain have been frightened and dare not lead the rescue. We can attack the city with all our strength. If the general cares about the casualties, I am willing to call the civilians to help. As long as the general gives more  Some food, at least thousands of people are willing to die for the general!"

    Guitou Forty-eight said: "Even if you fill it with the flesh and blood of ordinary people, you can fill up the stone wall outside the city!"

    Hearing the heartfelt words of these two wild warriors, Li Dingguo felt a little nonsense.  Obviously they brought their own troops to kill them, but the local people are willing to help attack the city, and they can make them desperate if they are given some food.

    Since there is no way to call for help, there is no need to delay.

    Li Dingguo said to the two: "Go and recruit 3,000 people as soldiers. Each person will be able to eat enough every day, and you can get an extra five catties of rice. In addition, the porridge shed that helps the poor will no longer give porridge from today."

    Miyazaki Shiro said: "My lord, please promise that after the Tsurumaru Castle is captured, the Shimadzu Family Governor must be executed, otherwise the people will not dare to apply for the attack."

    "Yes." Li Dingguo said with a smile.

    Miyazaki Shiro and Kitou Forty-eight did not go to conscript immediately, but spread the news with wild warriors: Mitsuhisa Shimadzu heard that the people had traded with Tang Bing, and was already furious, and decided to liquidate after the war, and all those who had sold things to Tang Bing  to be executed.

    A few days later, rumors were flying all over the sky, and the people around Tsurumaru City were panicked.

    Because of such outrageous rumors, the Japanese feudal lords can really do it.  In order to suppress the uprising of the people, even after the insurgents surrendered, they would kill them all, including the old and weak, women and children.

    On the one hand, he can eat enough every day and receive an extra five catties of rice; on the other hand, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu may take revenge afterwards.  Under the dual effects of temptation and fear, more than 2,000 civilians actually joined the army to help the Chinese army attack Tsurumaru Castle.

    Inside Tsurumaru Castle.

    Shimadzu Tadaro, Shimadzu Hisaichi and others are having a meeting to conspire, discussing how to tie up the family governor and surrender in Kaesong.

    Suddenly, there was a commotion outside.

    Tadaro Shimadzu looked terrified, pulled out his samurai sword and went out to check, but saw Hisamitsu Shimadzu leading troops to kill him.

    "Brother, what are you doing?" Shimadzu Tadaro asked.

    Shimadzu Hisamitsu sneered: "Are you going to take the plunge? I already knew you were ambitious!"

    Tadaro Shimadzu said: "Brother, you misunderstood, we are discussing how to defend the city."

    "Hiding in the house to discuss?" Shimadzu Hisamitsu shouted, "Kill them both, and I will forget about your crimes!"

    The Tokugawa shogunate gathered feudal lords from all over the country to live in Edo.

    The feudal lords from all over the country also forced samurai groups and industrial and commercial people to live in the castle town.

    Therefore, although there were only two thousand troops in Tsurumaru Castle, there were hundreds of warriors who withdrew in.  At this moment, there are more than 20 samurai plotting rebellion in the room, and Shimadzu Hisamitsu led troops to block him.

    The samurai looked at each other, and began to be unable to withstand the threat of the house governor. Hearing that they could think about their crimes, they quickly made a subconscious choice.

    "Clang clang!"

    Pulling out the samurai swords one by one, he rushed towards Shimadzu Tadaro and Shimadzu Hisunichi, chopping them into mud with random knives.

    Immediately turned around and knelt down, and kowtowed to Mitsuhisa Shimadzu:?Samurai killed 2 people and injured 13 people; civilians killed 93 people and injured 587 people.

    Datong soldiers, 9 people were killed and 21 were injured, and all the dead died from muskets.

    Mitsuhisa Shimadzu was also counting the casualties. Because many soldiers did not retreat in time, they were chased and killed by the Datong army who boarded the stone wall. The loss of the Satsuma garrison reached 438.  The so-called loss means that they failed to withdraw and were either killed or captured.

    Seeing that the Datong Army commanded the civilians, reinforced the fortifications at the stone walls, and even built internal forts, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu suddenly became angry and roared: "Fire and kill them!

    The city walls of Demaru also have forts, and the firepower of the Satsuma domain is extremely powerful.

    In other words, the Satsuma clan, who has been playing sea trade for a long time, has a large number of guns and artillery.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The civilians who were strengthening the fortifications were soon defeated by artillery in several places.

    Li Dingguo had a headache again. He had successfully climbed the mountain and occupied the stone wall, but how to fight the next three walls?

    Of course, the builders of Tsurumaru Castle couldn't be stupid, and it will always be more beneficial for the defender.  In Ishigaki and Demaru's artillery bombardment, the direction of Ishigaki can only be beaten, and there is no fire support at the foot of the mountain.

    This is a mountain city. Although it is not as dangerous as Diaoyu City, Li Dingguo also understands the mood of Mengge Khan back then.

    (&lt;/div&gt

 Text 636【The Mystery of the Art of War】

    Li Dingguo had a headache in the face of the tortoise shell. The storm must have caused too many casualties, and the shelling could not do enough for the city defense artillery due to the terrain.

    And the defenders in Tsurumaru Castle were equally terrified.  They had been besieged for many days, and their morale was already low. In the attack and defense of the stone wall just now, they directly lost one-fifth of their troops.

    Today, there are less than 2,000 defenders, and there is no hope of winning.

    If Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's prestige was not still there and he could suppress the samurai and ashigaru in the city, these defenders would definitely surrender without saying a word.

    Occupying the stone wall and continuing to besiege the city, Li Dingguo did not panic for the time being.

    However, it is said that Shimadzu Mitsuhisa's eldest son, Shimadzu Tsunahisa, returned to Kagoshima from Edo by order of the shogunate.  He came back to succeed the family governor, supervised his father's caesarean section to apologize, and ended up going straight to Hirado Castle by boat halfway, accompanied by Matsuura Nobusada from the Matsuura family.

    "The shogunate asked me to cut open my stomach? Haha." Matsuura Shigenobu laughed.

    Shimadzu Tsunahisa said: "For the current plan, only the Matsuura family will send troops to defeat the Tang soldiers together with my Shimadzu family. Otherwise, even if the family governor is changed, the heavy war compensation cannot be afforded."

    The retainer Tianchuan Yuhuang said: "My lord, perhaps you can send Shichizaemon as an envoy to persuade Tang soldiers to relax the conditions for withdrawing troops."

    "Let him be an envoy? I'm afraid he will never return!" Matsuura Shigenobu sneered.

    Qizaemon is Zheng Daozhou, Zheng Chenggong's younger brother.

    And Tianchuan Yuhuang is Zheng Chenggong's pro-grandfather.  According to legend, this man's surname was Weng, who was originally from Quanzhou. After entering Japan, he changed his surname and became a retainer of the Matsuura family.

    Zheng Chenggong's biological mother, Tian Chuansong, has been taken back to Fujian to settle down, but the Hirado clan is unwilling to let Zheng Daozhou go.  This is to force the Zheng family to smuggle goods to Hirado while conducting official trade in Nagasaki.

    Matsuura Shigeno believed this person, probably the one with the longest vision among the Japanese feudal lords.

    ?He has been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child, and at the same time he once followed the Christian religion, and quickly grew his strength through maritime trade.  The root cause of Tokugawa Iemitsu's seclusion was the Hirado clan, which had seriously threatened the rule of the shogunate.

    After the country was closed to the outside world, the Dutch business house in Hirado was also forcibly relocated to Nagasaki by the shogunate.

    Although this move greatly damaged the strength of the Hirado Domain, Matsuura Shigenobu was not one to be taken lightly.  He encouraged farmers to reclaim wasteland, supported the development of industry and commerce, and at the same time secretly engaged in smuggling and pirates. Even when his own house was burned, he could not rebuild it in order to save money and food.

    On the other hand, Mitsuhisa Shimadzu, this guy owes a lot of debt, and he still wants to build a holiday villa in Kirishima.

    ? Matsuura Shigenobu later cultivated a good son, not only did not indulge in pleasure, but also promoted Confucian benevolent governance, and devoted himself to helping the poor and the poor.

    Standing tall, Matsuura Shigenobu looked at the sky and said, "If the shogunate doesn't send troops, I will come from the Matsuura family!" He suddenly sneered, "The shogunate's plan is nothing more than to use Tang soldiers to weaken the strength of our Matsuura and Shimadzu families.  , the rule of his Tokugawa family will be worry-free forever."

    Hirado, Zheng's House.

    Zheng Daozhou is only eighteen years old this year, but he has already become the head of the Zheng family's trading in Hirado.

    "Young master, the Matsuura family seems to be going to war. It's very lively outside the city these days, and the samurai from the castle town are being ordered to enter the city." Zheng Zhong reminded.

    Zheng Daozhou sighed: "I know, there are people watching in the business hall, and I am not allowed to take a step away, because I am afraid that I will take the opportunity to escape."

    Zheng Zhong worried: "Will the business hall be in danger?"

    Zheng Daozhou shook his head: "As long as the Matsuura family still wants to smuggle by sea, they will not attack the Zheng family business house. You send a man to Nagasaki, instead of going by sea, go to Nagasaki by land. Tell the Zheng family business house there,  Let them take a boat to Kagoshima to report. It is said that the Matsuura family is gathering troops, and it is likely to go south to fight with the Datong army."

    "Yes!" Zheng Zhong bowed and stepped back.

    Zheng Daozhou has been adopted to his grandfather's family. His surname should actually be Tagawa, so he is also called Tagawa Jiro in Japan.

    Historically, his mother, Tian Chuansong, was unwilling to surrender to the Qing Dynasty and committed suicide. Zheng Daozhou always asked to return to China to fight against the Qing Dynasty.  But the Japanese side never let people go, so Zheng Daozhou could only give up and continue to deliver anti-Qing supplies to his brother Zheng Chenggong in Japan.

    This time and space is even more outrageous. Since Zheng Zhilong was made a duke and Zheng Chenggong married a princess as his son-in-law, the Matsuura family attached great importance to Zheng Daozhou.  Zheng Daozhou's wife at this time is the youngest sister of the Governor of Matsuura, and her son is already one year old.

    However, after Li Dingguo occupied the stone wall, he continued to besiege the city for more than 30 days, and the defenders in the city showed signs of collapse.

    After another month of siege, Tsurumaru Castle will be short of food.

    Just at this time, news came from the navy that a merchant ship of the Zheng family had arrived from Nagasaki, reporting that the Hirado clan was preparing to gather"

    Shimadzu Tsunahisa said: "The iron artillery team of the Matsuura family will definitely be able to fight Tang Bing!"

    The coalition forces rested in the valley for a day, and slowly advanced the next day, leaving the valley for a decisive battle with the Datong army.

    The Datong Army still only had 5,000 soldiers, and there were more than 20 wild warriors. The rest of the troops were too lazy to bring them over from the besieged city.  The main fear is that if all of them are present, the enemy troops will be scared away.

    The two coalition forces of Shimadzu and Matsuura, however, included the peasants and pulled them all out to form troops.  As far as the number of people is concerned, it is indeed quite magnificent. There are about 20,000 people, which is four times that of the Datong Army.

    And there is also a cavalry team, more than two hundred dwarfs, riding on mule-like ponies.  Some of them had flags on their backs, and the flags fluttered when they ran, which was indescribably funny in the eyes of Datong soldiers.

    These Japanese cavalry rushed to the flanks, Yuan Shizhong led the dragoons out, raised their guns after dozens of steps away.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    A burst of gunfire rang out, and more than two hundred Japanese cavalrymen fell down immediately, more than thirty cavalrymen.

    Matsuura Shigenobu shouted in surprise: "Get the cavalry back quickly, Tang soldiers have iron cannons on horseback!

    ? Iron cannon on horseback is Date Masamune's ultimate mystery. In the Sengoku period of Japan, some people also played dragoon tactics

    (&lt;/div&gt

 Text 637 [Seppuku on the battlefield]

    "The Iron Cannons move forward!"

    Seeing his own cavalry being hunted down, Matsuura Shigenobu made a decisive decision and ordered the gunfire soldiers to come forward to respond.

    The Matsuura family was the first Sanqiang feudal clan to be equipped with muskets during the Warring States Period in Japan.

    At the beginning, there were only two to three hundred iron artillery teams, but now it has grown to as many as eight hundred.

    Even, I also learned Nobunaga's three-stage attack.

    "Ming woo ming ming"

    Yuan Shizhong blew the trumpet to stop the pursuit, and the dragoons retreated to the flanks of the battlefield, reloading ammunition very skillfully on horseback.

    ? Matsuura Shigenobu led the banner himself and took charge of the Chinese army.  Let your own spearmen and firecrackers act as the front army slowly pressing forward, and let the Shimadzu's team line up on the two wings.

    Suddenly the flag was waved, and the Matsuura family's position launched six small Franco cannons.  This thing is an old thing, and it was bought from the Portuguese for a lot of money decades ago.  Usually installed on sea ships, because the caliber is relatively small, it can also be disassembled for land operations.

    Li Dingguo smiled and said: "Drag them all out, let the Japanese see what artillery is.

    Twenty-five artillery pieces appeared slowly.

    "There are so many big barrels (cannons)?"

    Including Matsuura Shigenobu, the nobles of Hirado and Satsuma, all of them changed their faces dramatically.

    Especially the Satsuma army, they didn't want to save the governor, and they planned to run away at any time.  Seeing that the Datong Army launched twenty-five artillery pieces,

    The morale of the army fluctuated in an instant, and there were already signs of fleeing without fighting.

    Just as the Datong artillery was loading shells, the dragoons finished changing the ammunition and began to circle around the enemy's rear.

    The move of the dragoons made Matsuura Shigeno dare not retreat. If he retreated, he might collapse and be chased and killed by the dragoons.

    Until now, I can only bite the bullet and fight.

    Shimadzu Tsunahisa reminded: "We can't wait for Tang Bing's big canister to launch, and kill the whole army quickly!"

    Matsuura Shigenobu is still hesitating. Although he has a strong level of internal affairs, he has only participated in the suppression of the Shimabara Rebellion, and his actual command experience is not very rich.

    After hearing Shimadzu Tsunahisa's suggestion, Matsuura Shigenobu also reacted.  The morale of our own allied forces is unstable, and if we are bombarded by twenty-five artillery pieces, this battle will be impossible to fight again, and the whole army must rush forward to fight in melee.

    "The whole army marches forward!"

    Due to the large number of civilians mixed in, the 20,000 coalition troops advanced very slowly, and their formations were uneven.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    After only ten or so steps, the first round of shelling by the Datong Army began, and all of them shot at the Matsuura family's army—the army was more orderly, and at first glance it was the main force of the coalition forces.

    Iron bullets roared and flew out, turning into calf terminators one after another.

    Iron bullets bounced off the ground one after another, breaking one calf along the way, plowing flesh and blood alleys among the coalition forces.

    "Banner warriors, step forward!"

    After the first round of shelling, the former army of the Matsuura family couldn't bear it anymore.  Matsuura Shigenobu released the Banner warriors, and these warriors raised their swords forward, hacked and killed scattered scattered soldiers, and then led the front army to charge together.

    The joining of the banner warriors greatly boosted the morale of the former army, and they continued to charge up against the artillery fire.

    Yuan Shizhong led the dragoons, bypassing the enemy formation with archers and musketeers, and did not choose to shoot, but charged towards the enemy's civilian troops.

    How dare the Japanese peasants face the charge of cavalry and the sound of hooves?

    "Run away!"

    The peasants threw away their weapons, turned around and fled collectively. Some even panicked and fled towards Matsuura Shigenobu's banner troops.

    Matsuura Shigenobu quickly commanded and responded: "Pikemen, iron gunners, and archers, stop the horse-riding iron guns of the Tang people!"

    The order was issued smoothly, but the corresponding troops seemed a little confused.  Because after Yuan Shizhong defeated a group of civilians, he continued to circle backwards, completely disrupting the enemy's blocking troops.

    Matsuura Shigenobu could only command the bannermen's own soldiers, form an formation to block the attack, and at the same time push the more than 200 cavalry up.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The dragoons fired a salvo at close range, and more than fifty of the Japanese cavalry of the Matsuura family fell directly.  These little cavalrymen were so frightened that their livers and gallbladders were torn apart, they completely forgot about their mission, and they reined in their horses and ran as far as they could go.

    Yuan Shizhong didn't chase after him, and reloaded the ammunition after opening the distance.

    After being tossed like this, Matsuura Shigenobu's banner unit has completely lost touch with the charging former army.

    The former army troops were also in a difficult situation. Under the leadership of the banner warriors, they

    Finally cheered up and withstood Datong.Fierce, who in the Wu family can resist?  "

    This guy pulled out his ribs slowly and somehow got a towel,

    Actually playing seppuku on the battlefield.

    Matsuura Shigenobu's banner has not yet collapsed, many personal guards protected him, and persuaded him: "Family Governor, hurry up, it will be too late."

    Matsuura Shigenobu turned around and took a look, and there were dragoons who had already completed their circle.  He shook his head and said, "I can't escape." Then he called Matsuura Nobuzhen to his side, "My son is young, so you should help him with all your heart. Hirado Honfan,

    1500 shi will be given to you, and you will be the head of the Matsuura branch from now on.

    "My lord, retreat quickly, there is still a glimmer of life!" Matsuura Nobuya said tearfully.

    Matsuura Shigenobu said: "Even if I can escape today, I can't escape the censure of the shogunate. The shogunate ordered me to make seppuku apology, so I will do it today. I can die, and the Matsuura family will continue. Remember, as much compensation as the Tang people want, I will give them  How much, it will be given slowly in ten or twenty years. While you are assisting my son, you must also befriend the Tang State. Today’s Datong Tang State is no longer the Ming Dynasty, and their army is invincible. Tagawa Jiro, don’t let it go.  Let him go and let him be the retainer of the Matsupu family. His elder brother is the son-in-law of the Tang Dynasty. As long as he is here, the Matsuura family will not be destroyed."

    Matsuura Nobuzhen finally cried out.

    This is a pair of cousins ??with extremely deep feelings.

    Matsuura Shigenobu also said: "If my son is unbearable, let Tagawa Jiro change his surname to Matsuura and let him be the governor of the Matsuura family."

    "Yes" Matsuura Nobuya said, wiping away tears.

    It is very common in Japan to let outsiders inherit the family business, usually an adopted son or a married son-in-law.

    In the eyes of the Japanese, blood does not really matter. What is really precious is the family name, which is the continuation of the legal line of a family.

    Zheng Chenggong's younger brother has adopted Tagawa's family and married Matsuura Shigenobu's younger sister.  Then it is completely possible to join the Matsuura family again and become the governor of the Matsuura family.

    The main reason is that Matsuura Shigenobu's son is too young.

    Matsuura Shigenobu said: "Put down your weapons, and I will personally negotiate with the generals of the Tang State. As long as I can keep the Matsuura family's banner elite, I will agree to their request, and then I will commit seppuku here."

 Text 638 [Mistakes are very important]

    The two wild warriors fought, and it developed to the point where the duel was life and death.

    Li Dingguo recruited him to inquire, but a noble samurai from the Matsuura family died in battle, exploding a set of very gorgeous high-end equipment—the armor.

    The Datong Army is not allowed to embezzle the spoils of war, and they will be distributed uniformly after they are handed over.  Of course these two wild samurai did not dare to take it for themselves, but they both said that they were noble samurai who had obtained it themselves, and they wanted to ask for armor for their merits there.

    Li Dingguo glanced at the corpse of the noble warrior, and lost interest in an instant.

    The main body of a stomach is two iron plates, which are attached to the front chest and back respectively, and then connected with cowhide and iron plates, and decorated with bamboo slices and painted patterns.  The lower skirt of Jiawei is also leather inlaid with iron pieces.  On the contrary, the helmet is very bluffing. There is a riveted iron plate on the forehead, which looks like a bull's horn.

    I found the body of another noble warrior, and I don't know who killed it. Then I asked two wild warriors to touch the corpse and pick it off if they wanted equipment.

    The legendary bamboo armor and wooden armor did not appear on the battlefield.

    The equipment of those peasants was only a bamboo spear, and they did not wear any other armor.

    Ordinary infantry is equipped with "half plate armor", note that it is in quotation marks.  In fact, it is similar to a breastplate made of wrought iron sheets, strung together with leather and worn as a vest.  As for the lower body, it is a skirt made of leather with iron inserts.  This thing should be called "Ashigaru hole pill".

    The wrought iron sheet of the Ashgaru Copper Ball is very thin, and it can only defend against chopping, and it can also defend against bows and arrows at a long distance.

    The Datong Army is receiving the prisoners, and by the way let the prisoners clean the battlefield.

    In a battle of more than 20,000 people, the real casualties were only a few thousand. It was because the coalition forces of the two feudal clans were defeated too quickly.  Three or four thousand people escaped without a trace, and the rest were taken as prisoners, waiting anxiously for the Datong army to find them.

    "Master, the enemy general wants to see you."

    Bring all the enemies over.  &quot;

    Tsunahisa Shimadzu, who had already cut seppuku on the battlefield, has not died until now.  This guy didn't find the wrong person, he cut it all by himself, convulsed and fainted from the pain, and woke up again not long after.

    Li Dingguo saw that his intestines were leaking out, and there was still a smell of excrement when he got close, so he immediately gave up and said: "Whoever wants to make up a knife will suffer if he procrastinates."

    "General, let me come down to intervene!"

    The wild samurai knelt down and begged for orders one after another, as if they thought it would be honorable for the nobles to intervene.

    Li Dingguo pointed to Guitou Forty-Eight: "Go."

    "Thank you, General!" Gui Tou Shiba was overjoyed, and looked at Miyazaki Shiro triumphantly.

    Miyazaki Shiro looked like an abandoned daughter-in-law, looking at Li Dingguo aggrievedly, feeling sad that the general didn't love him anymore.

    Kitou Forty-eight pulled out his samurai sword and walked to Shimadzu Tsunahisa's side.

    Tsunahisa Shimadzu, who was about to die of pain, struggled to get up, barely knelt on the ground, held on to the short knife inserted in his stomach, and said in a trembling and grateful voice, "Thank you, come on!"

    brush!

    When the knife shines and the head falls, this guy is finally dead.

    Matsuura Shigenobu glanced at his head, and said to Li Dingguo: "Dear General Tang, I am convinced of the defeat. If you can release the warriors of the Matsuura family, the Matsuura family is willing to compensate Tang for the loss. However, the money is not enough for the time being, please  A portion of the annual compensation is permitted."

    "I also want to hand over the pirate Li Guozhu, or kill him, and promise not to plunder China and North Korea in the future! In addition, let Zheng Fuma's brother return home." Li Dingguo added.

    Matsuura Shigenobu said: "The Matsuura family can agree to these conditions, but please leave Tagawa Jiro. Tagawa Jiro is my brother-in-law, and my brother died. The youngest son is too young and needs my brother-in-law to serve as a retainer to assist the government. Of course, if Tagawa Jiro misses  Parents, you can go to China to visit relatives at any time."

    Li Dingguo smiled and said: "You have a good plan. But this is the matter of the son-in-law's family. I can't decide. Whether to go or stay is up to him."

    "That's enough," Matsuura Shigenobu said, "How much silver taels do I need to pay?"

    Li Dingguo said: "Compensation for military expenses is 250,000 taels of silver. As for the compensation for the looted merchants, your Matsuura family will discuss with those merchants themselves."

    Matsuura Shigenobu sighed: "Thank you General for your accommodation."

    250,000 taels of silver, even if they tighten their belts, it will take at least five years for the Matsuura family to pay it off.  This is because Matsuura Shigenobu worked hard and did not owe too much foreign debt, and the industry, agriculture and commerce in the jurisdiction are booming.

    As for the Shimadzu family, they have foreign debts and can only repay the money by digging gold mines.

    ? Matsuura Shigenobu bowed and kowtowed to Li Dingguo: "Since your Excellency has promised, I hope you don't break your promise."

    &nbFeeling a little tricky, he didn't dare to accept gifts, so he said to the translator: "Be a witness, all these goods will be sealed up and confiscated, and I will not take any money."

    Sure enough, Shimadzu Jiuguo was just the beginning, and other nobles of the Shimadzu family came to visit one after another.

    Even Beixiang Jiuzhi and Beixiang Wengjiu, with several hundred soldiers, hurried over from the eastern fiefdom, saying that they wanted to help Li Dingguo attack the city, but it was a pity that the troops came too late.

    Beixiang Jiuzhi is Shimadzu Jiuzhi, the fourth younger brother of the deceased family governor, and his fief is of course in Beixiang City.  Beixiang Weng Jiu was the brother-in-law of the deceased governor.

    The price offered by Beixiang Jiuzhi was also very high. Li Dingguo asked the Shimadzu family to pay 400,000 taels of compensation, but this guy took the initiative to increase the compensation to 500,000 taels.  The only request is to let his Beixiang troops take over Tsurumaru Castle, and there is no need to trouble Li Dingguo for other things.

    What's even more outrageous is that Tadashi Shimadzu came to see him by boat.  This guy is the son-in-law of the Shimadzu family. Because the fief is in Tanegashima, he is also called Tanegashima Tadashi.

    Regardless of pedigree or strength, Tanegashima's son-in-law is not up to the job. This old man is purely here to make a joke.

    After receiving a lot of presents, Li Dingguo sealed and confiscated them all, and then agreed to Beixiang Jiuzhi.

    The reason is simple, Beixiang Hisao is the fourth child of the Shimadzu family.

    The boss, the second child, and the third child are all dead, and this should be the one in terms of seniority, which can save a lot of trouble.

    Li Dingguo handed over Tsurumaru City to Beixiang Jiuzhi for garrison. As for whether the goods can be defended, and how to persuade the shogunate to confirm his identity, then he really can't control it. Anyway, the purpose of sending troops has been achieved. Shimadzu's compensation is 500,000 taels of silver  , Matsuura's compensation of 250,000 taels of silver.  Shimadzu recognized China's possession of Ryukyu, and handed over Xiangxian and other Ryukyu royal families, promising not to rob Chinese merchant ships.  The Matsuura family handed over Li Guozhu and other pirates, promised not to plunder China and North Korea, and made Zheng Chenggong's younger brother a retainer.

    And this "Battle of Kagoshima" has also been spread throughout Japan with added fuel and vinegar.

    According to the legend, the combined army of Satsuma and Hirado had 50,000 people, and the Datong army had 10,000 people.  The two sides fought in the dark, and each issued a mysterious method of warfare. The Datong Army finally resorted to the "Datong Lore Array".

    The big tube is the artillery. It is said that the Datong Army dispatched two hundred artillery pieces.

 Text 639 [Issuance of the Constitution]

    Lin Efeng came to Kagoshima again on behalf of the shogunate.

    He took a whole delegation to China with the ship, and went to Nanjing to meet the emperor.  It is nothing more than reconfirming the relationship between the two countries, clarifying this misunderstanding, and intending to set an annual Sino-Japanese transaction limit.

    There is no doubt that Japan is a vassal state of Ming Dynasty.

    During the period of Emperor Jianwen, the Muromachi shogunate held a grand reception ceremony at the Kinkakuji Temple in Kitayama, Kyoto. It was after accepting the imperial edict of Ming Dynasty that Zhu Di ascended the throne, the Muromachi shogunate took the initiative to send envoys to congratulate him.  source".  The following year, Zhu Di sent an envoy to Japan, recanonized, and bestowed the "King of Japan" with a turtle-shaped golden seal.  In order to show their sincerity, the Muromachi shogunate steamed and killed more than two Japanese pirate leaders in front of the Ming envoy.

    Until the Tokugawa shogunate came to power and Japan was formally unified, they wanted to restore relations with Ming Dynasty.

    It's a pity that only a few years after the Korean War between China and Japan, the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have always been wary of Japan.  The Tokugawa shogunate had no choice but to keep conveying goodwill, and the relationship between the two countries was getting better day by day, but every time there was a substantive breakthrough, the "Japanese pirates" would inevitably come out again to make trouble, and the relationship between China and Japan immediately dropped to a freezing point.  He tended to support Nanming, and he couldn't understand the Tartar barbarians emerging from the ravine.  There is also the influence of Ming Dynasty survivors, including Zhu Shunshui, many Ming Dynasty survivors took refuge in Japan, and even became lecturers for the shogunate, continuously instilling cruelty, barbarism, and unfaithfulness in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    This kind of influence is very far-reaching. Japanese samurai of all dynasties did not recognize the Manchu Qing as Chinese orthodoxy, and of course they did not accept Japan as a vassal state of the Manchu Qing.

    So in the Qing Dynasty, Japan has always been China's "mutual market country", which means doing business on an equal footing.

    The Manchu Qing wanted to accept Japan as a vassal state, and when they first entered the customs, they released their goodwill and returned the Japanese who had been shipwrecked many times.  But the Tokugawa shogunate didn't appreciate it at all, and still regarded the Manchus as barbarians, and even regarded Japan as a small China.

    Now that the Datong New Dynasty is established, the two countries do not have much grievances. The Tokugawa shogunate took the initiative to ask for the seal a few years ago.

    Liu Xiangke stood at the bow of the boat, smiled and put his hand behind his back, pointed to the shore and said, "Your envoy, please watch it."

    Lin Efeng's expression was very embarrassing, because the Datong Army on the shore was withdrawing troops, but the people around Tsurumaru City knelt down and begged the Datong Army to stay.

    What is this all about?

    In fact, it's not that mysterious, and don't talk about military and civilian fish and water.  So far, the Datong Army has only dealt fairly with the common people.

    Not only did they not burn, kill, loot, but at the same time maintain the law and order in the castle town.

    And these actions are enough to make the local people return to their hearts!

    What's more, the Datong Army once gave porridge here to help the people, and spent money to ask local women to help the soldiers wash their clothes.  These are real benefits, especially for the 500 laundry women whose whole family came to kneel on the pier, crying and begging for the Datong Army to stay.

    Lin Efeng has been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child. At this moment, he said with shame: "The teacher of true benevolence and righteousness. The common people eat pots and milk to keep the king's teacher. Today we know that it is not a lie."

    Those wild warriors who took refuge in the Datong Army are also kneeling now.

    Miyazaki Shiro climbed up in front of Li Dingguo, hugged Tang Wushuang's thigh and cried: "General, please take us away, we will be the general's loyal dogs for generations to come!"

    Forty-eight Guitou knelt on the bank and kowtowed to Li Dingguo non-stop.

    Li Dingguo took these people only for the convenience of fighting, and he has no right to bring them back to the country.  Seeing that the other party was so humble and loyal, it was inevitable that he was a little moved and said, "The Shimadzu family samurai suffered a lot of casualties this time. I have recommended you to the current family governor, and the Shimadzu family governor has also agreed. You can all be his samurai from now on.  "

    Miyazaki Shiro said: "We only want to be the general's samurai!"

    Fighting with the Datong Army, the treatment is better than being a samurai of the Shimadzu family, and they still want to use this to make a fortune.

    Li Dingguo said: "Well, there are still some extra cotton armor in the army, and each of you will give you a pair. Maybe it's too lenient, so you can find a craftsman to make it smaller. As for weapons and horses, I have no right to decide and reward you. Ladies and gentlemen  Farewell!"

    More than twenty sets of cotton armor were moved from the ship and given to these wild warriors.

    When the wild warriors got the cotton armor, they were happy and excited, and they respected Li Dingguo even more.  Until Li Dingguo boarded the boat, they were still kneeling on the shore, crying and kowtowing.

    Back in Fuzhou, the Japanese envoy followed Liu Xiangke to Nanjing to meet the emperor.

    Li Dingguo rested in Fuzhou, and at the same time replenished casualties nearby.  In fact, the number of casualties was not many. More than a dozen died successively, and more than a dozen were forced to leave the army due to serious injuries.

    Next, Li Dingguo will go to Hainan Island, where he will get familiar with the tropical climate for two months?Imagine how readers across the country will react when this issue of the newspaper is released.

    Liu Xiangke opened the second newspaper again. This time there was only a map, but it was the abbreviated version of "The Complete Map of the World".  Most of the scholars in the country did not have access to the world map before. For the first time, they knew the vastness of the world through newspapers.

    Open the latest issue of the newspaper again. There is no map, only excerpts from the "Datong Constitution" and reports of the Datong Army sending troops to Ryukyu.

    Liu Xiangke read an excerpt from the "Constitution of Great Harmony", and was stunned after reading only a few paragraphs. He subconsciously turned to look at Lin Efeng.

    Lin Efeng was still flipping through the world map until he got back to the boat and finally read an excerpt from the "Constitution of Great Harmony". After being dazed, he sighed with emotion: "As expected of a generation of heroes, once the "Constitution" comes out, the world will be a world of great contention!  "

    The ass decides the head. These two Confucian diplomats, by coincidence, set their sights on the content that the Constitution encourages to open up to the outside world.

    The Forbidden City, Qinzheng Hall.

    Liu Xiangke recounted the dispatch of troops in detail, and said: "Your Majesty, the eight northeastern islands of Ryukyu should be separated from Ryukyu County and set up as a separate county."

    "How about the land, specialty products, and population there?" Zhao Han asked.

    Liu Xiangke said: "The eight islands in the northeast of Ryukyu are not smaller than the main island of Ryukyu in terms of geographical area. The largest island among the eight islands is called Ufu Shima Island by the Ryukyu people, and Amami Oshima by the Japanese. This island  There are many mountains in the middle, and there are hundreds of years of giant trees on the mountains, many of which are hardwoods, which can be used to build ships and other utensils. Although there are many aquatic forests (mangroves) around the coast of the island, there is also a lot of arable land.

    The main crops are rice and sugar cane, and the islanders are good at making brown sugar.  The brown sugar on this island was once the most stable fiscal revenue of the Satsuma clan in Japan.  "

    Brown sugar, a type of brown sugar, is boiled longer than ordinary brown sugar and is rich in iron.

    ? In ancient times when the sugar making process was underdeveloped, any commodity that had anything to do with sugar could get huge profits if it participated in sea trade.  Amami Oshima's specialty brown sugar alone is enough to attract Zhao Han's attention, not to mention that there are many hundreds of years old giant trees on the island.

    This time the troops are dispatched, and the profits will not be lost.

    The war indemnities of Satsuma and Hirado are more than enough to recover military expenses.  And brown sugar and wood will have income every year in the future.  As long as heavy taxes are not imposed on agriculture, the island's self-produced rice can be self-sufficient.

    If you switch to Western colonists, the islanders will inevitably be forced to give up growing rice and switch to sugarcane, which is more profitable-

    This is called colonial plantation economy.

    What Spain does in Luzon, the Netherlands does in Java.

    Even, in order to facilitate the control of spices, the Netherlands used force to cut down the spice trees scattered all over Java.  Then choose some islands, where there are spices, and a large number of spice trees are artificially transplanted,

    And cut down the trees that cannot produce spices on the island.

    There are three advantages to doing so.

    First, large-scale planting and processing of cash crops to maximize profits.

    Second, the most economic crops can be effectively controlled with the least amount of troops.

    Third, the indigenous people in the relevant areas can no longer grow food, or rarely grow food.  The colonists, on the other hand, could buy grain from other places and use it to control the natives in the area from rebelling.

    This approach is very short-sighted and effective, but it seriously damages the natural ecological balance and social ecological structure.  Once something goes wrong, such as the late arrival of the food fleet, the region will immediately fall into famine.

    Zhao Han naturally would not do this, because he built Ryukyu and Amami Oshima according to the local conditions, and he must achieve food self-sufficiency as much as possible.

    "Li Qing, how are you?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

    Li Banghua cupped his hands and said: "I didn't expect the overseas islands to be so rich in products. Your majesty is still wise."

    It seems that there is still a conflict in my heart.

    Zhao Han said to Li Xiangjun: "The decree is to separate the eight islands in the northeast of Ryukyu and set up a separate county. The name is"

    Seeing that Zhao Han was still thinking of a name, Li Xiangjun smiled and said, "It's better to call it Fangzhang County."

    "Good!" Zhao Han clapped his hands in approval.

    Penglai, Yingzhou, Abbot, and the Three Immortals Mountains on the Sea.

    Zhao Han also said: "The main island of Abbot County will be renamed Abbot Island in the future, and it can no longer be called Wufu Shima Island or Amami Oshima. To attract business from the people, once selected, you can recruit workers and immigrate to Abbot Island to cut down forests.  Only 15 merchants will be recruited, and each family will be given 350 mu of forest. After the forest is felled, trees must be replanted. Each family is allowed to keep 100 mu of land, which will be reclaimed as arable land after felling. "

    Abbot Island is rich in forest resources. Hundreds of years later, Japan had more than 400 logging farms on the island.

    Zhao Han thought for a while, and continued: "Give Xu Ying two hundred acres of mountain land, and let his elder brother recruit people to go to the island for logging. The royal family will pay for the immigration expenses for recruiting workers."

    Xungui veterans, in addition to granting fields, more or less have franchise licenses.

    Of course, in order to prevent the unfair competition of nobles, the business scope of these exclusive licenses is not large.  For example, you can mine a certain mine, such as the right to operate a salt shop in a certain county (a county has several salt shops, and Xungui only occupies one of them).

    This is also to make the nobles feel psychologically balanced, otherwise it would be impossible to justify seeing merchants with a lot of money while they were born and died with only a few dozen acres of land.

    Only Xu Ying has never accepted the exclusive rewards from industry and commerce.

    Maybe it's because his identity is too sensitive, similar to the commander of Jinyiwei in the Ming Dynasty, he was afraid of getting involved.After eating good food in Nanjing for half a month, it was still tasteless when I returned to Champa. The food in the palace was not as good as the small restaurants in Nanjing.

    Xiao Chongguo smiled and said: "Your Highness can sell the Champa Kingdom to the Datong court."

    "Traitor?" Po Nan felt very fresh.

    ? Xiao Chongguo said: "500,000 taels of silver, 50 acres of land, ten-year operating rights of a salt shop in Nanjing, and then confer your Highness the Duke of Datong Zhanguo. How?"

    Five hundred thousand taels of silver!

    The mother-in-law took a breath.

    In the small country of Cuoer, although Wangcheng is a commercial port, it really does not collect much commercial tax, because a lot of tax for entering the port is taken away by officials.

    Even the guards in the royal palace can only support a few dozen. When fighting against the Zheng family in Vietnam, farmers had to be temporarily recruited into the army.  If he wanted to repair the palace, he would also collect corvée. The king had never seen hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.

    Po Nan said: "After I betray my country, can I not live in Nanjing? The rewarded salt shop should not be rewarded in Nanjing."

    His father and two elder brothers were both in Nanjing. He wanted to monopolize the traitorous interests, and he did not want his father and elder brothers to come to him to share the money.

    "Yes." Xiao Chongguo said with a smile.

    "Then let's talk about it," Po Nan asked again, "Aside from Nanjing, which other cities in China are the best?"

    Xiao Chongguo said: "There is heaven above, and Suzhou and Hangzhou below. Both Suzhou and Hangzhou are suitable for enjoying."

    Po Nan happily said: "Then I will go to Suzhou!"

    One-third of the territory of Hainan Island was bought in this way.  **

 Body 642【Annan Civil War】

    The news of Champa's "surrender" has not yet been transmitted to Nanjing, but the Vietnam Civil War started first.

    Xu Ying hurried into the palace and said, "Your Majesty, Annan has already started the war!"

    Zhao Han was a little surprised: "Is Mrs. Zheng so impatient? She didn't wait for the rice to be harvested before harvesting."

    Xu Ying explained: "Your Majesty, Annan rice can be planted for two seasons, and some areas can be planted for three seasons. If there are two seasons of rice, it can be harvested every winter and replanted after spring. Annan Zheng's dispatch of troops this time is harvesting  Last year's winter rice, after the farmers planted the summer rice, took advantage of the gap before the rainy season to send troops!"

    "How many troops did the Zheng family send?" Zhao Han asked.

    Xu Ying replied: "I'm not sure, but at least more than 50,000 people, the Ruan family should be able to withstand the danger. If it drags on for two months, the rainy season will come, and our army will definitely not be able to send troops."

    Zhao Han called You Julian, the female officer in charge of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, and asked the female official Shang Bao to fetch the emperor's seal, and drafted an imperial edict, saying: "Notify the cabinet, let the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion order the Datong Army in Guangxi and Qiongzhou to follow the established regulations.  Plan to act!"

    The established plan to send troops is to wait until the Vietnam Civil War is over and send troops when Zheng Zhu's regime is most vulnerable.

    Of course, as Xu Ying said, it cannot be too close to the rainy season.

    ? If the civil war between the two sides drags on for too long, the Datong Army will definitely not be able to move. It is really hard to let the army drill into the forest during the tropical rainy season.

    In fact, it must be too late for Zhao Han's edict to be sent to the front line.  Fortunately, the plan was formulated long ago, and even the food and grass were already in place. Li Dingguo, Liu Xinyu, and Ding Jiasheng had great autonomy.

    At this moment, when the cabinet received the news, the three cabinet ministers did not speak much.

    Pang Chunlai is not opposed to the conquest of Vietnam, but he thinks the time has not come.  At least the Tartars must be completely wiped out, and only after Hetao, Monan, and Nuer Gandusi have been harvested can they be freed up to use troops in other places.

    Li Banghua and Song Yingxing were worried about the old rules of Ming Dynasty.

    ? At the beginning, Zhu Di also brought down Vietnam. Not only did he set up the chief secretary of Jiaozhi, but he even started a course in Vietnam to recruit scholars.  Those Jinshi in Vietnam, the highest reached the chief minister, should have been assimilated logically, but decades later, an uprising still broke out, and they forcibly became independent from Ming's rule.

    The territories of the Nguyen and Trinh clans were bounded by Heng Son, the mountain range at the junction of Ha Tinh and Quang Binh provinces.

    Emperor Yangdi of the Sui Dynasty sent troops to Vietnam to destroy Linyi State and set up three counties.  In the Tang Dynasty, when the Linyi Kingdom was restored, Hengshan was used as the boundary.  North of Hengshan,

    It is the territory of the Tang Dynasty, which is now the main territory of Zheng; the south of Hengshan is Linyi State, which is now the main territory of Ruan.

    As for Linyi Kingdom, the predecessor of Champa Kingdom, Annan continued to encroach on the land, and now there is only a place the size of a palm.

    The farmers in the land under Zheng's jurisdiction were recruited in large numbers to fight as soon as they finished planting rice seedlings.

    The old Zheng Tao not only personally led the troops south, but also brought the puppet king with him.  This is his first expedition to the south, and he vowed to destroy the Nguyen family and unify Vietnam.

    The Zheng family was defeated every time, and took the initiative to fight every time.

    Nguyen wins again and again, but has always been passive defensive.

    Investigate the reason, it is the national power.

    The area controlled by the Zheng family has three times the population of the Ruan family, and the land is more developed, and the land area that can be cultivated is larger.

    "Fire, fire!"

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Zheng Pi pressed the hilt of his sword with his left hand, stood up and looked at the results of the shelling, turned around and said to the puppet king: "Your Majesty, this expedition will surely be a victory!"

    "Okay." Li Zhenzong nodded numbly.

    Li Zhenzong was very young. A few years ago, Zheng Nanzheng failed and he blamed his father for all his faults.  So, he abolished his father Li Shenzong and made him the new lord.

    If he is also defeated this time, Li Zhenzong will have to take the blame, and another puppet king will have to be replaced.

    The Annan civil war was not large in scale, but compared to King Fei.

    Commanding the artillery was a Dutch officer.

    The gunners of the Zheng regime are mainly Dutch mercenaries, and the Vietnamese artillery are all responsible for miscellaneous work.

    Zheng Pi learned from the painful experience and saved money and food for several years. This time, he increased the number of artillery pieces to twelve.

    After firing hundreds of cannonballs, Zheng Zuo, the son of Zheng Pi, drew his sword and shouted: "Go to the camp first and attack, break through the Great Wall, break through the Great Wall!"

    The Ruan family built some earth and stone walls at the dangerous point of Hengshan, claiming to the outside world that Zheng's first camp on the Great Wall, holding a shield and holding a cold weapon, charged towards the earth and stone walls in front of him desperately.  In less than half an hour, the first line of defense of the defenders was broken.

    It went so smoothly, it was purely due to Mr. Zheng's plan.What a mess.

    However, they said that Zheng and his son had not yet fled back to Shenglong Mansion, and they started discussing halfway.

    Zheng Zuo said: "Father, this battle has been defeated. The royalist party in the ruling and opposition parties will definitely make trouble. We have to start in advance."

    Zheng said: "The defeat in the war was all due to the country's lord not practicing virtue. Re-establishing a virtuous lord can calm the criticism."

    "After returning to Shenglong Mansion, don't change the king for the time being, and wait for those traitors to jump out," Zheng Zuo planned, "Anyone who dares to collude and cause trouble is the henchman of the king of no virtue. Kill these traitors  , there is just enough reason to change the head of the country!"

    Zheng Pi praised: "My son has grown up and is capable of governing the country. After returning this time, you will start to take over the government. As a father, you will not live for a few years.

    "Father is in his prime in spring and autumn, so he will surely live a long life." Zheng Zuo said hastily.

    The father and son discussed it properly, and looked at the remnant soldiers around them, feeling disappointed and regretful again.  This is a major defeat that the Zheng family has never experienced in decades.

    ?There must be a royalist party going back to make trouble—in history, after this battle, the Zheng family and the Ruan family stopped fighting, and later they simply chose to formally negotiate a peace.

    "Han soldiers are coming, Han soldiers are coming!"

    It was more than ten miles away from Shenglong Mansion, when Zheng Pi received the news, his face turned pale instantly.

    How can a few remnant soldiers resist the attack of the Chinese army just after losing a battle?

 Text 643【Strike directly at the gate of life】

    Li Dingguo's 10,000 troops did not go to the mouth of the Red River, and then went straight to Thang Long Mansion, the capital of Annan.

    Because the mouth of the Red River at this time is still in a semi-developed state, and there are mangroves everywhere along the banks of the river.  There is no big port for warships to berth, and it is very troublesome to change to the Red River by boat.

    Ten thousand troops were divided into two groups.

    ?The first route is to take a sea boat to the mouth of the Majiang River without changing ships. The navy can go directly to the outside of Tsinghua City.

    The second way is to take a sea boat to the mouth of the Lanjiang River. After entering the Lanjiang River, change to a small boat and travel for more than ten miles to reach the outside of Ngee'an City.

    Why do you want to fight these two cities?

    More than 80% of the top officials in the Zheng regime have their hometowns in these two places!

    The Majiang River Basin and the Lanjiang River Basin are the earliest developed areas in Vietnam, and they are also the capitals of the Ding Dynasty and the former Le Dynasty.

    As long as these two cities are occupied, and then quickly control the surrounding villages and towns, Zheng's court officials will be dumbfounded, and a small half of Zheng's grain-producing areas will be gone.

    This is thanks to the elaborators and merchants, otherwise, how would Nanjing's rulers and ministers know?  Most of them will attack Shenglong Mansion foolishly.

    ?After returning from Japan, Yuan Shizhong was finally promoted to deputy division commander and led 5,000 troops to attack Ngee'an.

    ?After arriving at the estuary of the Lanjiang River by boat, Xu Xuechang, a mission officer, walked out of the cabin, stood on the deck and bowed to the river.

    "Old Xu, who are you worshiping?" Yuan Shizhong joked, "Could it be your ancestors who lived here in Annan before?"

    Xu Xuechang said solemnly: "It's not worshiping ancestors, but sages."

    "Which sage can be found here?" Yuan Shizhong asked.

    Xu Xuechang said with emotion: "Wang Zi'an in the early Tang Dynasty encountered wind and waves here, and the ship capsized and unfortunately died at the bottom of the sea."

    Yuan Shizhong was even more confused: "Who is Wang Zi'an?"

    Xu Xuechang said: "The sunset and the lone duck fly together, and the autumn water is the same as the sky. You don't understand it. After this battle is over, I will teach you to recite the Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng."

    Yuan Shizhong asked: "He seems to be a talented man from the previous dynasty, why did he come here by boat?"

    Xu Xuechang said: "During the Tang Dynasty, this was the territory of the Tang Dynasty."

    "Then we have regained the lost land, and we must leave a name in the history books," Yuan Shizhong suddenly became happy, and bowed his hands like Xu Xuechang, "My old Yuan also came to pay homage to the sages, kingwhat's the matter?"

    Xu Xuechang said: "The prince is taboo, and his name is Zi'an."

    Yuan Shizhong said while worshiping: "Mr. Wang is the spirit in the sky, and bless the victory of this battle. Come, bring wine!"

    Alcohol is not allowed in the army, but there is highly distilled alcohol for cleaning wounds.

    ? Yuan Shizhong poured three cups into the river, worshiped Wang Bo from a distance, and suddenly felt much better, although he had no idea what Wang Bo was doing.

    Not long after the naval warship sailed into the Lanjiang River, it encountered a sandbar.  The sandbar divides the Lanjiang River into two, and large sea-going ships can't get through at all, so they can only put down small boats to transport supplies, while soldiers land and advance along the river bank.

    It is worthy of being the earliest developed area in Vietnam. Both sides of the Lanjiang River are lush and green, and they are all seedlings planted not long ago.

    Xu Xuechang once again reiterated the military order: "Pass down to all the soldiers, don't trample on the crops, the cavalry is good at leading the horse and walking slowly!"

    When the gentry and peasants along the river saw the army coming from the sea, they were all scared and hid in their houses, and only a few people were sent to investigate from afar.

    Pan Chunfu was a local rich man, and there was a senior official who was a Bachelor of Dongge, who was in charge of transcribing the Imperial Academy's proclamation for Zheng Pi.

    He also has a younger brother who serves as the deputy general of Taiyuan Dao.  Another son was sent to Liangshan Road as a supervisory censor.

    As for other types of petty officials, the Pan family has more than twenty.

    This shows the background of the great clans in Ngee An and Thanh Hoa. Whether it is the lord of the Li Dynasty or the Zheng family, the powerful ministers, they all relied on the nobles of the two places to raise their troops.

    "My lord, the Han soldiers didn't come here, they just walked west along the Lanjiang River." The servant Pan Gui rushed back to the house to report.

    Pan Chunfu murmured: "Going west, this is going to attack Ngee'an City. Didn't they loot along the way?"

    Pan Gui shook his head: "There is no looting, and the crops are not trampled. The military discipline of the officers and soldiers (Zheng Jun) is much better."

    Pan Chunfu suddenly understood, and said: "If the Han soldiers don't plunder the people or trample on the crops, then they want to rule and stabilize the South. Lord Zheng returned after a big defeat, and the defeated troops passed through Yi'an a few days ago, which caused great harm to Yi'an.  The domestic military force is empty, this time Annan is afraid that he will destroy the country."

    Pan Gui asked: "Master, what shall we do?"

    Pan Chunfu said: "The Zheng family is unpopular, and it will be destroyed sooner or later. Emperor Li is weak, and he is not a wise king who can turn the tide" Suddenly, Pan Chunfu made an impassioned statement, "YiThanh Hoa is more convenient, not only is the distance shorter, and there is no need to change ships, naval warships can sail directly to the city.

    Chen Fan was also fidgeting at this time, defending his family and the country, he was in a dilemma.

    If you choose to defend the country and defend the city, you will definitely not be able to protect your home.  If you want to protect your family, you have to surrender in Kaesong.

    After thinking about it, the two of them felt that Ngee Ann City could not be defended.

    However, they did not dare to surrender.

    In case the Han soldiers left after looting, the Zheng family came to his senses and would definitely liquidate the surrenders.

    Then don't fight, don't surrender, don't leave, just pretend that nothing happened.

    The two Chengzheng officials sat in the Chengsi Yamen like this.  They refused all visitors, and only sent officials to investigate,

    It is good to get news from the Datong Army at any time.

    After waiting for a while, the officials ran in in a panic: "Deng Xiansi is recruiting troops to defend the city!"

    This Deng Xiansi can be understood as the inspector of Ngee Ann Road, who is usually in charge of the judiciary and prisons of the whole province.

    Wu Anguo turned pale in shock, stood up in a panic and said: "Deng Xiansi misunderstood me! I am the chief officer of Nghe An, and his recruitment of soldiers to defend the city is the same as my recruitment of troops to defend the city. Go out and stop it, the city cannot be defended, at least it must be defended."  Tell Han Bing clearly,

    Not the soldiers recruited by the two of us!  "

    "Yes yes yes, hurry up and stop it." Chen Fan was also terrified.  **&lt;/div&gt

 Text 644 [A country can perish, but a family cannot be destroyed]

    The Datong Army did not bring many soldiers and civilians, and they did not have the time to fill the moat.

    Fortunately, the moat is not wide, so the boats transporting grain can be used as bridge foundations, and then trees can be cut down to build floating bridges.

    Fan Shouli, Ngee'an Taoist Secretary, opened the treasury to recruit soldiers, and publicized the brutal killings of the Datong Army. He actually recruited more than 2,000 soldiers to defend the city.  When the Datong army built the pontoon bridge, the defenders also appeared on the tower, trembling with crude weapons.

    Wu Anguo and Chen Fan ran to the tower and ordered Fan Shouli to disband the army.

    Fan Shouli was very stubborn, and said to the militiamen who had just been recruited: "These two people are afraid of death, but they don't know that the Han soldiers will kill and kill. After the city is broken, they will burn, kill and loot." If you want to protect your family's property, stick to the city with me  .Someone, tie them up!"

    "You are confused ah, don't do it let go, I am the chief officer of Yi'an Road, I said it here umm

    Both Chengzhengs were tied up and their mouths were gagged.

    Han soldiers really like to loot cities, even domestic cities, let alone come to Annan to fight?

    But that is the Ming army!

    At the beginning, the chief secretary of Cochin, because of the abuse of the people by the Han officials, regarded being an official in Annan as exile, and frantically made money and wanted to go back as soon as he took office.  The local people were forced to do nothing by the Han officials, so the gentry led the peasants to revolt.

    It just so happened that Zhu Di had been fighting all the time, and the treasury was empty.  After Zhu Di's death, Daming gradually shrunk the line of defense, even to the north of Yanshan, not to mention Jiaozhi, where uprisings continued?

    This is how Annan became independent from Daming.

    Not only Annan is like this, the Han officials also treat the ethnic minorities in the southern provinces like crazy to exploit and make money.  Li nationality, Yao nationality, Miao nationality, Yi nationality were constantly rebelled by the Han officials, and most of the time the officials forced the people to rebel.

    Fan Shouli stood on the tower, watching the Datong army cross the moat along the pontoon bridge, he turned around and shouted: "Is the hot oil ready? Fall down when the enemy comes!"

    "My lord so many cannons!" An official pointed to the outside of the moat.

    In fact, there are not many artillery pieces, 25 pieces per division.  Among them, 8 were taken by Li Dingguo to fight Tsinghua, where there were naval artillery to help.  On Yuan Shizhong's side, he only brought the remaining 17 cannons.

    Seventeen cannons were enough to scare Fan Shouli into fear.

    "All hide behind the parapet!" Fan Shouli shouted.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The two chief officials, Wu Anguo and Chen Fan, were also thrown behind the parapet.  Listening to the rumble of cannons outside the city, and the occasional shells hitting the city wall, there was a violent vibration from the wall, and the bodies of these two guys also trembled.

    Unknowingly, Wu Anguo looked down at his crotch, and he was so scared that he wet his pants.

    "Run!"

    The militiamen guarding the city are all the people in the city.  No armor, no regular weapons, and morale dropped to zero after being bombarded by artillery. More than a dozen shells fell one after another. Some of the guarding militiamen had a mental breakdown and fled away from the parapet, thinking that it was safe to flee back to the city.

    When one person escapes, a large group is instantly driven.

    Before the Datong soldiers who attacked the city rushed to the city, nearly half of the more than two thousand defenders had fled.

    Fan Shouli was also a civil servant and had never fought in a war.  He insisted on courage now, calling out to the deserters:

    "Don't run away, stick to the city, defend the countrydon't run away, come back quickly!"

    Ngee Ann is the hinterland of Annan, where nobles gather. It has not fought a war for decades.

    How can a city resident in a prosperous place and peaceful for a long time be able to defend the city?

    Fan Shouli's shouts did not work at all. Not only the city guards fled, but even the officials who fought with him began to leave the city wall one by one.

    Seeing the officials running away, the militiamen defending the city had more excuses to escape, and there were only a few hundred militiamen who were still standing still.

    Fan Shouli had the courage to poke his head from the city wall and found that the Datong army had rushed to the city wall.  He hastened to order:

    "Hot oil, the log!"

    There were not many officials and militiamen around him, and some of them didn't want to run away, but were so frightened that their legs became weak and they couldn't stand up.

    Anyway, there are a few of them, crawling on the ground towards the oil pan, but the speed is about the same as that of a turtle.

    Fan Shouli stood up suddenly, and shouted: "The enemy is about to attack the city, and it is impossible to fire any more artillery. Stand up and defend against the enemy!"

    When some militiamen heard the news, they suddenly became courageous and hurried to carry the oil pan.

    Some militiamen were even more frightened when they heard the news.  The enemy is about to attack the city?  These are the only ones left for my own people to escape, and I can still hold on to the fart, and I must not stay to die!

    As a result, the militiamen, who were too scared to move before, fled from the city wall at this moment.

    &nbsBook) Zheng Rongfu, who is of the same family as Zheng, spoke more directly: "Your Highness, this time our army was defeated, and the Han army took the opportunity to invade. Both of these news have been sent back to the capital. Now, the hearts of the people in the capital  Panicked, it is said that His Highness deceived the emperor and brought heaven's punishment."

    "Nonsense!" Zheng Zuo asked, "Immediately find out who is making rumors, and he will be cut into pieces!"

    Zheng Pi was not angry, he raised his hand to signal his son to shut up, and said to himself: "Both Qinghua and Ngee An have enemy troops,

    Is Lang Son still safe?  "

    Li Gang, Bingfan Zhifan, said: "There is no movement, the lower officials have sent people to order Lang Son's general soldiers to defend themselves.

    Zheng Zheng recruited 60,000 troops for the southern expedition, but did not draw troops from Lang Son. There were 1,500 soldiers stationed there, and they were half farming and half fighting in the mountainous area, similar to the frontier military camps of the Ming Dynasty.

    ? Zheng Pi asked Wu Zongru, an acquaintance of the family, "How much money can we allocate to recruit soldiers?"

    Wu Anguo, the death-fearing ghost in Ngee Ann City, is Wu Zongru's relative.

    Wu Zongru said dryly: "Reporting to Your Highness, the treasury has run out of money and food when we sent troops to conquer the Ruan family.

    If all of them are used to recruit soldiers, the salaries of officials will not be paid out.  "

    "I'm asking you, how much money is left for recruiting soldiers!" Zheng added a serious tone.

    Wu Zongru replied: "There are more than 40,000 taels of silver and more than 70,000 stones of rice."

    Zheng Bing said: "Give it all to the soldiers, and recruit as many soldiers as you can! Also, order the officials from all walks of life to ask the gentry to recruit village braves, and quickly go to Shenglong Mansion to gather troops to serve the king!"

    Zheng Rongfu said: "Your Highness, you should also send envoys to Qinghua to ask the general of the Han army why he invaded our territory without declaring war. Maybe there is still room for turning things around, and see if we can persuade the other party to retreat."

    Li Gang, who was clamoring to fight China a few years ago, said at this moment: "What's the use of negotiating with the generals who lead the army? They are eager to fight and make meritorious deeds. They have to send envoys to Nanjing, bring money to bribe officials, and let the officials persuade the Chinese emperor to retreat!"

    These guys are panicked, they are not afraid of China sending troops from Vietnam, just defend the pass with high mountains and dense forests.

    However, the Datong Army did not play their cards according to common sense. They actually crossed the sea and landed to fight, and even went straight to the hometown of the Vietnamese nobles.  Now everyone is frightened, not because they are afraid of losing the city and land, but because they are afraid that they will be wiped out by the Datong army and ransacked their homes.

    An Nanguo can perish, but his own family cannot.  **

 Text 645 [Forcing against the landlord]

    Zheng Pi, Zheng Zuo and his son were really scared this time, and even pulled the Taiyuan garrison back to Shenglong Mansion.

    Taiyuan City in Annan Kingdom is located fifty miles north of its capital, and like Lang Son, it is the northern barrier of Annan Kingdom.

    Lang Son defenders are defending Guangxi.

    The Taiyuan defenders were defending Gaoping.

    In the valley of Gaoping, there is a Mo family regime.  .  The Zheng family and the Ruan family started their careers by overthrowing the Mo family, and the Mo family has not been wiped out until now.

    Historically, the Mo family first supported Nanming, then took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, and then attached themselves to Wu Sangui, and finally committed suicide.

    Only 500 soldiers were left in Taiyuan to defend the city, and the remaining 1,000 troops were all recalled to Shenglong Mansion by Zheng Pi.  As for whether the Mo family took advantage of the opportunity to invade, Zheng Pi could no longer care so much. He lost tens of thousands of troops in his previous expedition, and he was seriously short of troops.

    ?Because of the civil war in Annan, the army in the hinterland was evacuated, and the Datong army was invincible in Qinghua and Ngee An.

    After occupying Yi'an City, Yuan Shizhong each sent hundreds of soldiers to capture the nearby Anren (Nan'an) and Zhongyi (Yanzhou).  None of these cities had Annan's regular army, and local officials could be said to have surrendered on the lookout.

    After seizing the city, the Datong Army did not leave anyone to defend, directly hired local farmers, emptied the treasury and marched north.

    The battle on Li Dingguo's side went more smoothly. The Datong Navy warship sailed outside Qinghua City, and a burst of shelling solved the problem.  The city guard here is actually surnamed Zheng, he is Zheng Pi's nephew, and he quickly surrendered when he saw the Datong army.

    Yuan Shizhong led his troops on a naval warship, quickly joined forces with Li Dingguo, and occupied the city of Nanding without any effort. It is located on the bank of the Red River and is only 180 miles away from Thang Long Mansion.

    Until this moment, Zheng Pi finally completed gathering troops.

    With the few remnants left before, plus the troops of Qin Wang from all walks of life, Zheng unexpectedly pulled up an army of more than 40,000 people.  It's just that more than 70% of them are Xiangyong, which is similar to that of the Daming team that Zhao Han met in Jiangxi.

    Zheng led his troops to station in Xing'an City, only 50 miles away from Li Dingguo.

    ? If you want to attack Thang Long Mansion from Nanding, the fastest and most convenient route is to go up the Red River. Zheng's army is stuck on the only way.

    "Father, the battle must be resolved quickly, otherwise we will not have enough food." Zheng Zuo reminded.

    Zheng said: "If the enemy doesn't attack, and defend Nanding City by the river, how can we make a quick victory."

    Zheng Zuo said: "But the military rations are really not enough."

    Zheng Pi ordered: "You take people to the countryside to collect food, the more food you collect, the better!"

    Previously, there were more than 70,000 shi of rice grain in the treasury, and the armies of King Qin from all walks of life brought more than 10,000 shi of rice.  But there are more than 40,000 soldiers, and each of them only has more than 200 catties of food. When they gathered in Shenglong Mansion, they lingered for more than half a month.

    There is no oil and water, lack of protein, and no snacks and fruits.  In this case, a grown man,

    I can eat several catties of rice every day.

    Zheng Pi ordered his son to go to the countryside to collect food, and at the same time ordered the whole army to reduce the food: the regular army only ate one catty of food a day, and the Xiangyong only ate ten taels of food a day.

    Of course, nobles, generals, and gentry are not bound by this.

    Take Li Shenzong, Li Zhenzong and his son as an example. Although they are both puppet kings, their treatment must be guaranteed.

    Fearing that the royalists would cause chaos, Zheng brought the puppet king and his son, and handed over court affairs to his daughter Zheng Yuzhu.

    Zheng Pi's daughter, Zheng Yuzhu, is the wife of the Supreme Emperor Li Shenzong, the not-so-principal Supreme Empress.

    It's not serious because Zheng Yuzhu was married and had four children.

    At that time, the real queen died of illness, and Zheng Pi wanted to control the king through marriage, but he didn't have any extra daughters.

    So, the son-in-law was accused and sent to prison, and his daughter and four children were remarried to the king.

    In the army, Wang Zhang.

    Li Shenzong, Li Zhenzong, father and son, ate and drank silently, with the maid standing beside them watching them.

    After drinking a pot of wine, Li Shenzong took the opportunity to go berserk and beat up the court lady as soon as he took his job.

    The court lady was beaten and fled in embarrassment. Li Shenzong hurriedly said: "Look for an opportunity to surrender to the Han, and take advantage of the situation to restore the country!"

    "ButFather, this matter may not be easy." Li Zhenzong was even more courageous.

    It was because Li Shenzong was disobedient and secretly made troubles when Zheng Pi was defeated that he was abolished and let his son succeed him.

    But Li Zhenzong was frightened, he didn't have the blood of a young man at all.

    Li Shenzong roared angrily in a low voice: "It's not easy to do, don't you want to be a puppet for the rest of your life?"

    If it is something else, Li Shenzong can bear it,sp;The common people in Annan, with two crops a year and three crops a year, can't afford to be exploited like this, even the landlord's family doesn't have much food left.

    By the way, Lord Zheng's Yigan Society, Tang Muyi, is all located in Tsinghua.

    Zheng Pi's old mansion has been copied by Li Dingguo!

    Gan Shoudao and his slaves rushed to the other side of the river in Nanding city day and night.  There is Yuan Shizhong's military camp by the river, and Li Dingguo is stationed in the city with his troops.

    Gan Shoudao was caught as a spy, and after crying, he was taken to see Li Dingguo.

    "General, help!" Gan Shoudao knelt down.

    Li Dingguo asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

    Gan Shoudao replied: "The grass people are the people of Xing'an Prefecture. The Zheng family is cruel and ruthless. They plunder the people's rations to fund the army. If there is any resistance, the family will be destroyed. Please send troops quickly to save thousands of people from the fire and water."  !"

    Of course Li Dingguo sent spies out, and he also knew that Zheng was sending troops to plunder the people.

    However, just by looking at Gan Shoudao's clothes, one can tell that he is a landlord.  Being able to force the landlords to surrender to the enemy shows that the Zheng family has lost popular support and the time for a decisive battle is ripe.

    Li Dingguo asked Gan Shoudao to stay as a guide, and then ordered: "Let's march tomorrow, and distribute food to the people along the way!"

    The Datong army is not short of food. Zheng Pi's hometown in Qinghua collects one-eighth of the country's land tax every year.  Except for those who were transported to Thang Long Mansion, except for those who were engaged in grain business, the rest of the grain was piled up in the warehouse.

    What's even more funny is that more than half of the 4,000 Annan officers and soldiers stationed in Qinghua usually guard the granary for Zheng Pi outside the city.

    The food there is all cheaper than Li Dingguo.  <a href="https:///60324_60324500/713900937.html" target="_blank">https:///60324_60324500/713900937.html</a> The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: m.zhhbiqu.co

 Text 646 [Third party intervention]

    ,

    "kill!"

    Under the city of Taiyuan, Mo Jingyu led his troops to attack the city.

    8,000 standing troops and more than 10,000 civilians are brave, attacking and fighting against the city with only 500 defenders, but the city gate is open, but there are internal responses in the city.

    As an important military town in Vietnam, Taiyuan has attacked here many times, but succeeded only twice.  one of the times,

    ?He went directly to Shenglong Mansion, the capital of Annan, but was soon killed by Zheng Shi and returned to the ravine.  .

    This time, in order to deal with the Datong Army, Zheng Pi took the Taiyuan defenders away, and immediately gave Mo Jingyu a chance.

    The general soldier in Taiyuan died in battle, and Pan Chunzhi, the deputy general soldier, was the brother of Pan Chunfu who slaughtered pigs and sheep to welcome the king's teacher.

    Mo Jingyu seized the city with the help of Nei Ying, and personally interrogated Pan Chunzhi: "Why are there only a few hundred people left in the Taiyuan garrison?

    "Bah! Thief!"

    Pan Chunzhi spit it out.

    This is not how staunch Pan Chunzhi is. If he is captured by the Datong Army, he will probably surrender.

    But Mo Jingyu is different. The Mo regime represents the interests of the Vietnamese gentry.

    And Pan Chunzhi, who was born in o(huan) lovers, that is, Thanh Hoa and Ngee An gentry group.

    ?The two gentry groups have been in conflict for thousands of years.  When one faction gains power, it will definitely suppress the other faction, and there is almost no possibility of compromise.

    ? If religion is used as a metaphor, for Pan Chunzhi, the foreign Datong Army is a heretic, while Mo Jingyu is a heretic.  It is possible to cooperate with heretics, but it is absolutely impossible to give good looks to heretics!

    Mo Jingyu was spit on his face, angry from the heart, he drew his knife and chopped Pan Chunzhi, and asked: "Who knows what happened to Shenglong Mansion? If no one answers, I will kill five with one stick of incense until I get you all."  Kill it all!"

    After seeing most of the incense stick time, a captured official finally said: "Han soldiers attacked Qinghua from the sea,

    Your Highness Mrs. Zheng has sent troops to fight the Han army.  "

    "The Han army sent troops to Qinghua?"

    Mo Jingyu was taken aback when he heard the words, and then he laughed loudly: "It is God who helped me! This dog thief of the Zheng family will kill himself if he does many unrighteous deeds. He dared to swallow the Mujiaxun Village. He really thought he could hide it from the Chinese emperor.  ? Evacuate the Taiyuan treasury, and follow me to the Shenglong Mansion!"

    Mujiaxun Village, which was swallowed up by Annan, is next door to Mo Jingyu's site.

    Before the decisive battle between Zheng Pi and Li Dingguo, Mo Jingyu broke through Taiyuan City and went straight to Shenglong Mansion, the capital of Annan Kingdom.

    Instead of encountering resistance along the way, the soldiers fought more and more.  A large number of northern gentry took the initiative to recruit village braves,

    ? Follow Mo Jingyu to fight together.

    These northern gentry were crushed miserably by the southern gentry, and they always hoped that Mo Shi would come back.  The peasants in the north, who were also exploited on weekdays, simply rebelled against the landlords.

    When Mo Jingyu arrived at Shenglong Mansion, his army had already grown to 30,000!

    Mo Jingyu preached on the way, the slogan is: expel the false king, slaughter the Mo family, rejuvenate the Li Dynasty, treat the gentry well. Of course, he only treats the northern gentry kindly, including the gentry around Thang Long Mansion.

    The gentry of Thang Long Mansion had the worst life.

    Because they are located around the capital, the Zheng family rewards land, often enclosing land here.  Beijing officials who were born as gentry in the south also liked to buy land near the capital, while the area of ??land occupied by northern landlords continued to shrink.

    On the second day after Mo Jingyu besieged Shenglong Mansion, the local gentry also came to help.  You are dozens, I am a hundred, all of them bring their own bravery.

    The Beijing officials in Shenglong Mansion City were already in a hurry.  The state treasury has been emptied of food by Zheng Pi, and there are not many defenders left. They can only organize officials and civilians to defend the city.

    "My lady, let's go!"

    Zheng Rongfu, a member of Li Fan, rushed into the palace with his slaves, anxiously looking for the Empress Dowager Zheng Yuzhu.

    Zheng Yuzhu asked: "Can't you keep it?"

    "There are no soldiers in the city, how can it be defended?" Zheng Rongfu asked anxiously, "When the rebels fill up the moat, Shenglong Mansion will definitely fall, and if you don't leave, it will be too late!"

    Zheng Yuzhu immediately asked the court lady to pack up the bundles, and board the ship with large and small packages, intending to take the boat overnight to find Zheng Pi.

    There was too much movement in the palace, and the ships on the pier were forced to be confiscated. How could they hide it from the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?

    The Empress Dowager was about to run away, so they naturally didn't dare to stay, so the good show of snatching the ship quickly took place.

    Even Mo Jingyu, who was outside the moat, was alarmed. He sent people to the lower reaches of the Red River in advance to intercept them. After nightfall, a large number of nobles and officials fled.

    The same scene happened decades ago.  It was also the Mo family who took advantage of the void and rushed all the way back to Shenglong Mansion. The nobles and officials in the city rushed to escape, but none of them escaped.ot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</  a> Tao Zhongren, the commander-in-chief of Lang Son, is defending at the moment.

    Tao Zhongren grabbed the messenger by the lapel and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

    The messenger said with tears: "The Mo family has really sent troops, and the Shenglong Mansion has fallen."

    Tao Zhongren froze in place, when suddenly the gunfire rang out again. After waking up, he gritted his teeth and said: "Kaicheng surrendered,

    Welcome to the Heavenly Soldiers!  "

    Soon, the city gate opened.

    Liu Xinyu was a little disbelieving, and said: "The enemy defended the two pass cities tenaciously, and even the deputy commander died fighting hard. Why did they surrender suddenly?"

    Ding Jiasheng said: "Either there is a change in the enemy's rear, or the general of Lang Son is greedy for life and afraid of death."

    While the two were still talking, Tao Zhongren had already taken off his armor, led his troops out of the city and knelt outside, and at the same time sent someone to invite the Datong army to enter the city.

    Liu Xinyu led his troops over and asked, "Why did you surrender suddenly?"

    Tao Zhongren said: "The rebel Mo family will surely kill countless people when he captures Shenglong Mansion, please send troops to rescue the people quickly.

    "Mr. Mo?" Ding Jiasheng also came over, "This guy is well informed, and he took advantage of the opportunity to capture Shenglong Mansion.

    ?This man ruled the people brutally. In the past few years, many Yue people fled to Guangxi to survive.  If he captured Shenglong Mansion, he might really plunder the city.  "

    Along the way of the Guangxi Datong Army, the enemy suddenly changed. Mo Jingyu will not hand over the Shenglong Mansion easily, and he will definitely be beaten by then.

    ,

    During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, after Zhang Fu broke through Vietnam, he came to the Red River Delta. What he encountered was that tens of thousands of Vietnamese came to join him every day.  The monarchs and ministers of the Li Dynasty in Vietnam burned their palaces and treasuries, and fled directly to the sea by boat.  Immediately afterwards, two-thirds of the states and counties in Vietnam all chose to wait and see!

    The treatment of the Datong Army at this time seems to be similar.

    Liu Xinyu and Ding Jiasheng led their troops south, posting notices along the way to comfort the people.  Those northern gentry saw that the Datong army was innocent, and that the military was dignified and dignified.

    The soldiers are so sharp that they even bring their own dry food and take the initiative to recruit soldiers to join them.  .

    And Tao Zhongren, the commander-in-chief of Lang Son who was the first to surrender, was also from the southern gentry group.

    The two factions dislike each other, and they are quietly making small reports.

    Tens of miles away from Shenglong Mansion, Tao Zhongren begged to see Liu Xinyu again: "Liu Shuai, these northern gentry are all cunning. When the Ming Dynasty set Annan as the Jiaozhi Province, it was the rebellion of the northern gentry that allowed Annan to break away from the mother country of the Celestial Dynasty and stand on his own.  .Nowadays, although there are many gentry in the north,

    However, they must not be reused, and they must always be vigilant against them relying on Mohs.  "

    Liu Xinyu asked with a smile: "Why do these northern gentry say that those who rebelled and left Daming were all southern gentry from Qinghua and Ngee Ann?"

    Tao Zhongren said: "They are talking nonsense!"

    "Hehe." Liu Xinyu did not judge this.

    The Datong army quickly came to Beijing North, which was later renamed Beining, and now belongs to one of the four inner towns in Vietnam.

    Coincidentally, Mo Jingyu is attacking Jingbei!

    The news that Shenglong Mansion was plundered by Mo's troops had already spread to Jingbei City.  Although there were no defenders in Jingbei City, the civil and military officials recruited people to defend to the death, and the residents in the city all died in order to survive.

    Mo Jingyu's troops expanded in two ways, and there were more than 10,000 troops surrounding Beijing.  But in the face of 2,000 defending militiamen, they couldn't beat them after several days of onslaught.

    "Attack again, the enemy's supplies for defending the city have been exhausted, and we will definitely be able to break through the north of Beijing today."

    Mo Jingyu was extremely angry, and said as if to vent: "Order the whole army, after breaking the city, loot for three days!"

    The military order was quickly spread to the soldiers at the bottom, bursts of cheers erupted immediately, and the morale of the whole army soared for a while, and they actively organized the next wave of offensive.

    "Your Majesty, the Han soldiers are here, five miles away!"

    At this moment, Mo Jingyu received news from the spies, which made him somewhat nervous.

    A civil servant named Yao An was sent by Mo Jingyu to approach him.

    Yao An hurried, and when he saw Liu Xinyu, the Datong army had already reached three miles north of the city.

    "Kowtow to the General of Shangguo!" Yao An knelt down when he met him.

    Liu Xinyu asked: "Did Mo Jingyu send you here?"

    Yao An said: "The Mo family has always been respectful to China. King Mo asked the minister to tell him that he knew why His Majesty the Emperor of China sent troops. It was because the Zheng family encroached on China's territory and took in Chinese traitors. As long as Han  Soldiers can help Mo Wang to restore the country, Mo Wang must return to the Chinese soldiers, and Annan will be China's fence forever."

    Liu Xinyu smiled and said: "If Mo Jingyu is sincere, let him come to see me in person. You have no place to speak here!"

    Yao An was sent away like this.

    When Mo Jingyu heard Yao An's reply, he was startled and confused, not sure what the Datong Army wanted to do.  Do you want to lay down Annan and hang on?

    Give this guy a hundred guts, and he wouldn't even dare to go to the Datong army himself.

    However, the Mo army besieging the northern city wall was already very close to the Datong army at this time.  In order to avoid conflicts as much as possible, Mo Jingyu chose to withdraw from the siege, and all retreated to the south bank of the Jiangjiang River at once.

    The two sides confronted each other across the river.

    Tao Zhongren rode his horse to the bank, took a small boat to the river in the north of the city, and shouted loudly: "I am Tao Zhongren, the general soldier of Lang Son. The Chinese heavenly soldiers have arrived. Don't offend the people. Hurry up and open the city to welcome the surrender!"

    Like Tao Zhongren, the chief official of Jingbei City also came from the southern gentry group.

    After some friendly exchanges, the north city gate facing the Datong Army was opened, and even took the initiative to send small boats to welcome the Datong Army to cross the river.

    When Mo Jingyu saw this, he immediately gritted his teeth angrily: "Asshole, if you meet me, you will stick to it, and if you meet Han soldiers, you will surrender. In this northern Beijing city, both officials and civilians are traitors who deserve to be killed!"

    Yao An asked: "Your Majesty, these Han soldiers seem unwilling to help us restore the country, what should we do next?"

    Mo Jingyu said: "Go again and tell the enemy general. He said that as long as the Han soldiers help me restore the country, the king will not only return Mujiaxun Village, but also cede Gaoping to China, until 20 miles north of Taiyuan City.  land!"

    &nbThese civilian husbands and Xiangyong officers had no combat experience, and were completely stunned by the Datong cavalry.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    A burst of gunfire sounded, and more than 30 tiger squatting guns aimed at one of the wooden fences and bombarded them.

    The range of the tiger squat gun is very short, only about 500 meters.

    The caliber is also small, but it is more than enough to bombard a simple wooden fence.

    Moreover, the shots were shot.

    100 small pebbles weighing five coins, plus a big stone bomb weighing 30 taels, the big and small ammunition flew out.  The big bullets are used to smash the wooden fence, and the small bullets are used to attack the enemy soldiers-this thing belongs to the primitive mortar, which can cross the fence and hit the enemy inside.

    After a round of shelling, the wooden fence was blasted open, and the enemy behind the fence was also scared to retreat to avoid.

    "Kill!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The mountain cavalry attacked from the gap in the fence, and when they saw the enemy head-on, they shot.  Then hang up the gun, raise the hand crossbow and fire.  The next thing is to pick up a spear or a waist knife, and use cold weapons to chase down the enemy.

    The enemy army in front of them was completely stunned. They were all village braves who took refuge halfway, and the leading officer was a northern gentry.

    Seeing that the troops collapsed, the northern gentry subconsciously ran for his life.  Hearing the sound of horseshoes getting closer, he quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, but was almost trampled to death by the Datong cavalry.

    The number of Mo's army that broke up here is only a little over a thousand.  But as they fled in all directions, they drove the nearby defenders to flee too. Anyway, everyone was running, and they didn't even know how many Datong troops they killed.

    Until this moment, Mo Jingyu finally arrived at the main attack direction of the Datong Army.

    He hurriedly led the elite reserve team to kill the Datong cavalry who had entered the camp.  It is said that they are elites, they don't even have a musket, they are all spears, waist knives, bows and arrows.

    "Blow the trumpet, send the order, spread out and chase the enemy!"

    More and more Datong cavalry rushed in. When they saw Mo Jingyu's elite troops, they didn't even bother to meet them head-on.  Instead, they spread out into several strands and continued to chase and kill the rout, causing even greater chaos in the enemy camp.

    It didn't take long for Mo Jingyu's camp to fall into chaos, and only a few elites around him remained organized.

    But the morale of the thousands of elites was also plummeted, and there were shouts of killing and begging for mercy in all directions, as if they had been surrounded by tens of thousands of enemy troops.

    ,

    Inside and outside the camp, a string of Mo family soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

    Some of them had already escaped, but ran into the pawns brought by Liu Xinyu and Ding Jiasheng head-on.  There were not many pawns, and only a thousand or so were brought over.

    The rest continued to cross the river.

    Liu Xinyu glanced at the captives all over the ground, and ordered: "Tell them, don't panic, as long as they are not heinous people, Datong Heavenly Soldiers will not kill them."

    Immediately, dozens of military officials and civilian husbands ran to talk to the Vietnamese prisoners.  .

    These officials and civilian husbands are very special. Most of them come from the islands of Qinzhou, and a small number of them come from Yong'an Prefecture, which is the area of ??Fangchenggang and Beibu Gulf in later generations.

    Probably during the reign of Zhengde, Mo Dengyong usurped the throne of Annan, and the whole Vietnam was in endless war.  Many Vietnamese people escaped to the coastal islands of Guangxi and have multiplied for more than a hundred years. They are the Jing people in China.  (By the way, Mo Dengyong was born in Dongguan and moved to Annan with his father. Mo Jingyu, who was beaten in front of him, is strictly speaking a descendant of the Han nationality.)

    After Zhao Han took Guangxi, the descendants of these Vietnamese people naturally lived a new life.

    ?For this expedition to Annan, all the towns, villages, and peasant and soldier cadres in those areas, who could speak Vietnamese, were all transferred.  Not only in the Guangxi Division, but also in Li Dingguo's side, communication along the way was not a problem.

    When fighting, they are translators.

    ?After Annan was recovered, they became officials, and they were promoted to three ranks as a whole, and those who performed well could even be promoted to five or six ranks.

    Chen Haigui is a town mayor of the Yue nationality. He went to the captives and raised his voice to comfort the prisoners: "Don't be afraid, our Datong army does not kill indiscriminately. I am like you. My ancestors are also Annan people, but now I am the people of Datong China.  Your Majesty the Emperor treats all ethnic groups equally.

    The Han people are elder brothers, and all ethnic groups are younger brothers. From now on, everyone will be Chinese Yue people!  "

    A prisoner dared to ask: "My lord ancestor, are we really from Dai Viet?"

    An Nanguo is China's name for Vietnam.  The Vietnamese themselves like to call it "Da Viet".

    Chen Haigui scolded: "How can there be Da Yue? From now on there will only be Datong China, you and I are all Chinese. Let me tell you, as long as the emperor rules here, there will be no Dingkou tax in the future, and there will be no need to pay labor money! As long as you grow honestly  Land, I guarantee that each and every one of you will be full!"

    Most of the captives here belong to civilians.  Even if they participated in the burning, killing and looting, most of the looted goods belonged to the generals. To put it bluntly, they were a group of bitter people.

    Hearing Chen Haigui's words, they immediately became excited, and at the same time half-believed that it was untrue.

    At this time, Annan, in terms of people's livelihood, got the script of the late Ming Dynasty.

    The gentry, the rich and the right colluded with the government, and they were all avoiding taxes and duties.  Bureaucrats, nobles, scholars, and soldiers do not have to pay taxes and serve in the military, and the burden is all on the ordinary people.

    Farmers or tenants, in addition to the land tax, also have to pay tax, service money, water conservancy and so on.  Even royal family sacrifices, village communal city god sacrifices, and imperial examinations and provincial examination funds were all charged extra from the common people, and officials had to take the opportunity to make a fortune from it.

    In addition, there are chaotic and exorbitant taxes, which has caused Vietnamese farmers who produce two or three crops a year to live on the verge of starving to death at any time.

    What's even more funny, because there are many ethnic minorities in Vietnam's mountainous areas, and Vietnam's monarchs and ministers regard themselves as Chinese.  They regard minorities as barbarians,

    ?Let the village chiefs in the mountainous areas be self-governing, and the village chiefs can be hereditary, and they only need to pay tribute to the central government.  That is to say, in Vietnam, which is as big as a palm, there are still many chieftains in the mountains Among them, there are many chieftains of Zhuang, Dai, and Miao.

    It is said that he is a chieftain, but he can actually rule several villages.

    For these chieftain forces in the mountains, the imperial court will send corresponding minority officials in the future. Anyway, there will be no language communication difficulties.

    Facing the questioning of the Vietnamese captives, Chen Haigui simply asked the captives to gather together, and said: "My grandpa's generation, more than a hundred years ago, crossed the sea and fled to the islands of Guangxi. They did nothing else but fished by the sea.  In China's Ming Dynasty, the officials were very bad. Fortunately, they didn't care much about the islands on the sea, and only asked the government to pay tribute to the fish every year. But in the past few decades, more and more fish need to be paid.  I often have no fish to eat&amp;quot;

    "The heavenly soldiers of His Majesty the Emperor have come, followed by good officials. Your Majesty thinks that the island is barren and cannot grow much food. He also thinks that we fish hard and the tax revenue is very low. Because I can speak Chinese, I first became the village head.  , he was promoted to mayor in a few years, and now he is sent by His Majesty to Annan

    "As long as everyone is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, they will all be able to live a good life in the future. Dingkou?He cut Mo Jingyu off the horse.

    Even the way of death of this King Mo seemed very perfunctory.

    "I'm so mad!"

    Zhu Minru was very depressed, the chance to take the head of the enemy general in the army was gone again.  He was a martial artist from the previous dynasty, and he couldn't use his abilities all over his body. Every time he fought, he used guns and cannons to get it done.

    Outside the camp.

    Knowing that Mo Jingyu was defeated and died, Liu Xinyu said to Ding Jiasheng: "Split the troops here. You go to Haiyang, and I go to Shenglong Mansion. After taking these two cities, immediately go south to meet with Li Dingguo."

    &amp;quot; Good!  &amp;quot;

    Shenglong Mansion is the capital of Annan, so the military achievements are naturally different.

    Ding Jiasheng didn't bother to argue, he was born as a scholar, he had a long-term vision, and he didn't have the same insight as Liu Xinyu, who was born as a miner.

    As for the Mo family army, it has not been wiped out at this time.

    Mo Jingrui, the son of Mo Jingyu, is leading troops to attack Shanxi.

    Don't complain about place names, Taiyuan, Shanxi, Henan, Xining These are all place names in Annan. Zhao Han will definitely change them in the future, otherwise they will sound too awkward.

 Text 649 [Quick Pursuit]

    Xing'an Prefecture.

    Li Dingguo was leading his troops towards here, and the sentry scouts sent by Zheng Pi also detected the movements of the Datong Army from afar.

    Zheng Pi urgently recalled the soldiers who had gone out to gather food back to Xing'an Fucheng, and said to his son: "At most half a month, the typhoon is coming. Even if there is no typhoon, it will be hot and rainy, these Han soldiers can't bear it.  Stick to Xing'an City and wait for the rain to fight again, then the firearms of the Han soldiers will be useless."

    Zheng Zuo wondered: "Our army doesn't have enough food and grass, even if we collect food, it won't last for a long time. Shouldn't we make a quick decision?"

    "I have already ordered the whole army to reduce their meals, and there is no problem in sustaining it for two or three months," Zheng said. "The Han soldiers are all elites, but most of us are rural warriors. It is very disadvantageous to fight outside the city. It is more beneficial for us to defend the city."  .As long as there is delay, it will be hot and humid, and the Han soldiers from the north will definitely get sick."

    The territory of Vietnam is long and spans many latitudes, so the climate is very complicated.

    Like the Red River Delta where the war is currently fought, the four seasons are relatively distinct, but it is relatively hot all year round.  In summer, there are more typhoons and the rainfall increases significantly. It is hot and humid and it is easy to get sick.

    The rainy season in the true sense is actually on the Ruan's territory, and it is in the south of the Ruan's territory.  There is drought for half a year and continuous rainfall for half a year.

    If you fight in Nghe An, Thanh Hoa, Ha Tinh and other areas, even if there is no typhoon in summer, it will be particularly uncomfortable, because there will be "Laos wind".  In fact, it is a kind of foehn effect. The reason why Chongqing is called the stove is because the foehn always blows in summer.

    In a word, if time continues to drag down, there will definitely be a large number of non-combat attrition in the Chinese army.

    Zheng Zuo nodded and said, "I understand."

    Zheng Pi also said: "Our army sticks to Xing'an City. If the Han soldiers cannot attack for a long time, they may go north to attack Taiping Mansion. There are not enough defenders in Taiping City.

    If you bring 10,000 people there, even if you die in the city, you must guard Taiping. You must not let Han soldiers cross Taiping to Shenglong Mansion!  "

    Zheng Zuo immediately went to count the soldiers and horses, planning to lead the troops to garrison in Taiping Mansion.

    There is a tributary of the Red River called the Taiping River. The two rivers meet near Xing'an City and follow Ailao Mountain, which generally refers to a large mountainous area at the border of Laos, Vietnam, and China.

    There used to be an Ailao country, which rose in the middle and upper reaches of the Lancang River and the Nu River, and was established by the Dai tribe.  Ailao Kingdom is also called Mengzhang Kingdom and Chengxiang Kingdom.  The word Ailao is a transliteration, which roughly means "big brother", and is the respectful title given to the king by the leaders of various ministries.

    A hundred years ago, Mo Dengyong usurped the government of Annan. The ancestors of the Zheng family and the Ruan family fled to the Ailao mountain area with a group of old ministers, but they did not know where to find the clan to support them.  Only then did the most difficult years pass and bought time for the later restoration of the country.

    Now that Zheng Pi is in a desperate situation, he immediately thinks of his ancestors and decides to flee to the mountains to hide for a few years.

    In the afternoon of that day, Zheng Pi led tens of thousands of troops, with only food and gold and silver, and evacuated towards the western mountainous area as quickly as possible.

    These guys left on the front foot, and Datong in the city worked carefully, and rushed downstream to report the news.

    "Stop!"

    Xi Zuo met Li Dingguo's vanguard on the way, and he said in Chinese: "My own people, act cautiously, and don't wear a belt badge. Quickly tell General Li that Zheng Pi fled westward, probably going into the mountains. Shenglong Mansion  There are also people fleeing, and the Mo family is besieging Shenglong Mansion!"

    Li Dingguo soon learned of the news and ordered: "Follow at full speed, and the enemy cannot escape into the mountains!"

    The ships carried armor, artillery and food, and the soldiers only held weapons in their hands. In the weather of nearly 3 degrees, they ran along the river under the scorching sun.  Fortunately, the official road was built by the river, and the cavalry could also run along the official road. Otherwise, there would be paddy fields everywhere, and the cavalry would probably have to abandon their horses to pursue.

    When he rushed to Xing'an City, Li Dingguo successfully accepted the city, leaving only a few hundred people to guard the city, and the rest of the soldiers crossed the river and continued to chase west.

    And for the next journey, there is no benefit of the river, and the soldiers have to bring food, armor, and weapons by themselves.

    I saw thousands of Datong soldiers jogging shirtless on the field ridges in the countryside.  The cotton armor was packed on the back, and the spears, firecrackers, and waist knives were tied horizontally on the cotton armor. Under the scorching sun, they were sweating all over their bodies, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

    All the horses of the cavalry remained in Xing'an City, and were temporarily converted to infantry marches - there were no official roads, paddy fields were everywhere, and the horses marched very slowly.

    As for the food, each soldier only brought three days' worth of dry food, and there was a kettle with cold boiled water on his waist.

    It was also very hot after nightfall. Zheng's soldiers complained one after another, and the civilian men who carried the luggage were even hotter and tired.

    Zheng Dada was getting old, and he couldn't bear it any longer. He ordered: "The whole army should rest in place, and don't walk around indiscriminately.After that, continue on your way!  "

    ?With the addition of civilian husbands and village braves, a total of tens of thousands of troops stopped in the fields like this.  Don't say anything about the formation, it stretches for several miles in a mess,

    It took a long time to convey the military order.

    Zheng Pi felt that he was very safe. The Han soldiers were still far away, and it was impossible for them to fly over to attack him.

    The officers of the various ministries ordered the soldiers to collect weeds and ignite them to fumigate mosquitoes.  They are all weeds such as wormwood and mugwort, which can be seen everywhere in the wild, and farmers rely on these things to repel mosquitoes.

    For a while, the field was filled with thick smoke, and the smell of rice was mixed with it.

    Just as the meal was being served, there was a change from behind the troops, followed by another burst of shouts.

    Zheng came to report covered in blood: "Father, a gentry escaped with a countryman, and the child has been suppressed! Elite guards have been arranged everywhere,

    Whoever dares to be a deserter, don't want to see the sun of tomorrow!  "

    It is normal for deserters to appear.

    Of these tens of thousands of troops, more than 70% are civilian husbands and countrymen.  The generals of the village brave troops are all diligent gentry from all over the country.

    Let the gentry recruit soldiers to serve the king, but let them abandon their family property and go to the mountains, and don't know how many years they will have to hide, that is more uncomfortable than killing them  : "All men in the army, I don't know how many years they will stay in the mountains,

    No woman wants bad things.  Before entering the mountain, the villages outside the mountain were raided, and all the women were arrested with the army and assigned to the soldiers as wives.  "

    Zheng thought for a while and said, "In order to prevent the soldiers from escaping, I will send an order now. Tell them that they can rob along the way tomorrow, but each person is only allowed to rob one woman. Too much robbing is not conducive to a fast march."

    In this way, the Datong Army did not need to march in a hurry, and could catch up at a normal speed.

    Zheng Zuo immediately sent an order to the whole army. Hearing that they could plunder along the way, their morale recovered a little.  Especially those bachelors in the army are even excited, they will be able to grab their wives soon.  They even made up their minds that if they want to rob the lady of the landlord's house, they don't want any ugly ones!

    Zheng Pi said to his son: "At the beginning when the Mo clan usurped power, our ancestors led tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians into the mountains. After thirteen years of hard work, we finally achieved great success! Don't be discouraged. Our ancestors can stay in the mountains for thirteen years, and we can come again.  Thirteen years. As long as you seize the opportunity, you will be able to restore the country!"

    "Kids, remember!" Zheng Zhui was inspired by a few words.

    In fact, it was Ruan Gan, the ancestor of the Ruan family, who led the soldiers and civilians into the mountain.  Zheng Jian, the ancestor of the Zheng family, came to seek refuge in the middle of the journey, and made a fortune by being Ruan Gan's son-in-law.

    They have not been working hard in the mountains for thirteen years, but have been shrinking turtles for thirteen years.

    In the end, the country was able to restore the country because Mo Dengyong angered Emperor Jiajing, and the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had already reached Zhennan Pass.  Mo Dengyong was so frightened that he peed his pants, and personally led all the ministers to Zhennan Pass to confess his guilt to the Ming army and ask for surrender.

    The ancestors of the Nguyen and Zheng clans seized the opportunity to send troops to retake Ngee An and Thanh Hoa.  With the help of Ngee Ann and Qinghua gentry, they recruited the peasant army for the Northern Expedition, and finally recaptured Thang Long Mansion.

    After the restoration of the country, the Ruan family and the Zheng family fell out, and the Zheng family also played tricks to usurp power. The Ruan family fled to the south to establish a separatist regime.

    Of course, in the propaganda of the Zheng family, the Ruan family is the traitor, and the restoration of the country depends entirely on the efforts of the Zheng family.

    At night, Zheng didn't sleep soundly, and was always worried about the future development.

    Suddenly there was the sound of shouting and killing, and Zheng woke up suddenly.

    Zheng Zuo came over with his own soldiers, and said anxiously: "Father, go quickly, the Han soldiers are coming!"

    Zheng Zheng said in surprise: "Why so fast? Can Han soldiers fly?"

    ,

    Of course the Datong Army can't fly, but Zheng Tao's side is too slow.

    Li Dingguo asked the soldiers to bring dry food for three days, but it turned out that he was thinking too much.  The vanguard of the Datong Army only took half a day and midnight to catch up with Zheng Pi's army.

    ?One side is procrastinating, carrying a lot of luggage, and most of them are peasant husbands and bravery.

    ? One side rushed at full speed, only brought a small amount of dry food, and all of them were elite troops.  .

    In other words, even if it is replaced by the elite Vietnamese troops, the situation will not change much.  Zheng led an army of 60,000 to march south, but wasn't it overthrown by Ruan's 100 elephant soldiers?

    This bad old man is purely addicted to food. He doesn't know how to fight, but he always fights himself.

    The first to catch up was Yuan Shizhong.  He abandoned the infantry, took the cavalry of the whole division, and hurried along the official road on horseback.  Then he abandoned his war horse, temporarily transformed into infantry, and ran all the way with his equipment.

    He was not afraid of going the wrong way at all. Zheng's tens of thousands of troops trampled countless crops along the way, and he could see even if he was not blind.

    More than 2,000 fellow troops chased them in the early hours of the morning holding torches.

    Zheng Pi's tens of thousands of troops are still sleeping, and they don't even bother to set up camp, and they can't even set up camp because there are paddy fields all around.  They just lay on the field ridge, or several people sat together, resting back to back with each other.  Fires were lit every three to five times, and there was no open flame, only wet grass was used to smoke mosquitoes, and each fire was filled with grass on duty.

    It was the soldier in charge of fuming mosquitoes who saw the Datong army approaching with torches and shouted in fright: "The pursuers are here, the pursuers are here!"

    Zheng Jun who was nearby fried the pot in an instant, and his first reaction was not to defend against the enemy, but to jump into the paddy fields, rubbing against the muddy water and fleeing for their lives.

    In this broken place, it is not easy to line up during the day, let alone being attacked at night.

    Yuan Shizhong heard the chaotic shouts ahead, and immediately ordered: "No need to wear armor, no firecrackers, kill the enemy immediately!"

    After the order was passed on, more than 2,000 soldiers of the same army put down their armored stomachs one after another.  He didn't even want Huo Tong, he just threw it on the edge of the field, and rushed up shirtless with a cold weapon in hand.

    "Kill!"

    The soldiers of Datong, holding torches in one hand and waist knives in the other, walked along the ridge ?

    Running fast, someone slipped and fell into the field from time to time.

    When encountering a fork in the field, they are automatically divided into several teams, so as not to prevent the whole army from forming a long snake.

    Zheng's army stretched for several miles, and at this moment, wave after wave collapsed.  Those who were far away from the Datong Army didn't even know what was going on, so they subconsciously ran away.

    There are also some Qinwang gentry, who took the night attack of the Datong Army as a good opportunity, and hurried away with the bravery of their village.  Otherwise, they will follow Zheng through the valley, and they will be able to return to their hometown sometime.

    Under the moonlight, torches danced wildly, causing chaos.

    ?The Datong army, which was shirtless due to the hot weather, only held cold weapons in their hands, and more than two thousand people chased tens of thousands of enemy troops.

    However, Zheng Pi, Zheng Zha and his son could only control the troops on a few ridges around them.  They also didn't know how many pursuers had come, they only heard that they were fleeing in all directions.

    Fortunately, Zheng Pi has experienced many battles. Although he has not won any battles, he has a lot of experience in defeating battles.  The old man in his seventies, as if he had been injected with adrenaline, led his troops to escape quickly at the first moment.  He has seen this kind of situation a lot, and he didn't get dizzy from fright, knowing that the most important thing is to save his life now.

    Yuan Shizhong chopped down several people one after another, and knelt on the ground in front of the field ridge.

    Yuan Shizhong shouted angrily: "Get out of the way, those who surrender go to the field, don't block the road on the ridge!"

    It's a pity that he didn't bring a translator, and the enemy soldiers couldn't understand it at all.

    However, the waist knife in the hands of the Datong Army is the universal language of the world.  After cutting out the corpses all over the ridge, the enemy soldiers understood that very few people dared to kowtow on the ridge.

    With this kind of terrain, it is easy to defeat the enemy, but it is not easy to kill and capture the enemy.

    More than 80% of Zheng Zha's tens of thousands of troops escaped successfully.  They ran sideways in the rice fields, and they couldn't tell the direction, as far as they could run.

    Most of them will flee back to their hometown, and some may gather as bandits.

    After all, Zheng Zha was still too old, and after only running for a few dozen steps, he was so tired that he was out of breath.

    He ordered his soldiers to flee with him on their backs, but the ridges of the fields were already narrow, and it was even more difficult to keep balance while carrying someone on their backs.  Running and running, the soldier stumbled and stepped on the air,

    &Covering the lower back.  He was thrown with a slight bone fracture last night, crawling and walking all the way, and now strangled the shepherd boy to death, finally making the fractured bone more serious.

    Zheng couldn't walk anymore, he couldn't even crawl, as long as his limbs were exerted, his waist hurt so badly that he almost passed out.

    Night fell.

    The body of the shepherd boy was lying there, a few meters away, Zheng Pi could not move half a step, and finally could only lie on the ground waiting to die.

    The time is pulled back to the dawn.

    Zheng Zuo ran away with dozens of soldiers, running less and less along the way.  Some of the soldiers pretended to fall, and after falling into the paddy field, they fled sideways for their lives staring at the muddy water. Some soldiers were caught, although they could not communicate with each other, but in order to make meritorious deeds and survive, they yelled and pointed out the direction of Zheng Zuo's escape.

    Zheng Zuo didn't know where to flee. The Thang Long Mansion was gone, the Zheng family in Qinghua was also copied, and the army was completely disbanded. Even if he fled into the mountains, he could only be a savage.

    "Plop!"

    Zheng Zuo finally fell down with weak legs, and the soldiers behind quickly helped him up.

    Then, the classic show was staged.

    A soldier said: "The Thang Long Mansion is gone, I don't know if our family is still there."

    Another soldier said: "Is this still going into the mountain?"

    "Go into the mountains to graze?"

    "I won't run away, I was on my way yesterday, and now I'm exhausted!"

    "If you don't escape, you will be caught and beheaded."

    "Arrest this guy to ask for credit, and he will definitely survive."

    "Yes, arrest him for meritorious service!"

    "Dog thing, the seller is begging for glory, let me go!"

    A few soldiers tore off Zheng Zuo's belt and tied up the guy's hands and feet.

    They went back the same way, and when they met the Datong army, they shouted: "The son of Zheng Wang is here, the son of Zheng Wang is here, the son of Zheng Wang has been captured!"

 Text 651 [I will destroy your country, you must thank you]

    Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 651 Shenglong Mansion.

    The two Annan kings were brought back to their capital.

    As far as the eye can see, there is devastation everywhere.

    The streets and alleys are full of uncleaned blood stains.  Walking through the streets and cities, you can occasionally see houses that have been burned by fire.  .  The once-prosperous city of Thang Long was plundered by Mo's army for a few days, and the population has been directly halved.

    Of course, not all the lost population in the city died unexpectedly, and many families fled elsewhere.

    Li Shenzong, Li Zhenzong and his son rode in the same carriage, and they were dumbfounded after entering the city.

    Li Dingguo said to Li Shenzong: "I will fight against the heavens and will not harass the people. These are the sins of the Mo family."

    Before the crowd arrived at Lord Zheng's mansion, Zhang Dai had brought officials to greet him.

    Zhang Dai served as a diplomat very early. When the Datong Army marched northward to Shandong, Zhang Dai was ordered to recruit Zuo Liangyu.  Now, he is Zuo Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and after completing this mission, he will be promoted to Minister of Honglu Temple after returning to China.

    Li Dingguo and Zhang Dai bowed to each other, Li Dingguo asked: "Aren't General Liu and General Ding in the city?"

    Zhang Dai replied: "General Liu is chasing the remnants of the Mo family, and General Ding is attacking Haiyang and its surrounding areas."

    Zheng's father and son failed to escape into the Ailao Mountains, but Mo Jingrui did.  He heard that his father Mo Jingyu was defeated and died, so he immediately withdrew his troops and returned to Gaoping's lair.  As a result, he walked halfway and learned that Liu Xinyu led the Datong Army to capture Taiyuan. He was so frightened that he hurried to the west and plunged into the mountains in the northwestern part of Vietnam.

    Next, the Datong Army must be stationed for a long time.  One is to prevent the Vietnamese gentry from rebelling, and the other is to go into the mountains to wipe out the remnants of Mo Jingrui.

    The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Dai suddenly took out the edict of guilt, and ordered: "Annan Puppet Emperor, get out of the car immediately to receive the edict!"

    Li Zhenzong couldn't understand Chinese, but his father Li Shenzong was terrified. He pulled his son out of the car and knelt down in the street to listen to the imperial decree.

    Without any ceremony of receiving the decree, Zhang Dai opened the decree and read it, and asked the official to translate it to the people:

    "Emperor Fengtian Yingmin issued an imperial edict: Annan has been the land of China since ancient times. Qin set up Xiangjun, and Han set up Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan three counties.

    ?, After thousands of years, it is my territory of China.  However, he lives in a remote corner and has been infected by barbarians for a long time. He gradually becomes unaccustomed to the teachings of sages and sages, and even forgets who his ancestors are

    "The former Ming Dynasty regained Annan and set up the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi. The land and the people returned to the embrace of the mother country. However, there were treacherous people who rebelled and raised their troops to stand on their own.  For China's fence."

    "The lord of Annan, who got this good fortune, is not grateful for virtue, but has delusional thoughts. He changed the name of the country to Dai Viet, and called himself the emperor. If the lord of Annan is the emperor,

    Where is the emperor of China?  "

    "There was also Li Weimu, the false emperor of the Annan Li Dynasty, who punished and killed virtuous concubines and ministers, and reused treacherous ministers and relatives. He exploited endlessly, and the people complained. As a result, there were uprisings,

    The warlords divided the remnants of the people and put our Chinese survivors in the fire and water.

    "When the sage of Datong was established, Li Weiyou, the lord of Annan, and the treacherous minister Zheng, did not regard the emperor of Datong as the master, and they secretly conspired with the puppet emperor of the Zhu family in Yunnan.

    It is tolerable, which is unbearable"

    This is not an imperial decree at all, but a call for thieves!

    ? I was afraid that the Vietnamese would not understand me, so I didn’t quote the scriptures throughout the article, and the whole sentence was plain and reasonable.

    Li Shenzong was in a cold sweat when he heard it, because it was determined from the beginning of the imperial decree that Annan belonged to China's territory since ancient times.  The entire Li Dynasty belonged to the traitors and traitors.  And the ruler of the Li Dynasty was not even counted as a traitor, but just a puppet found in the mountains with unclear bloodliness.

    After the imperial edict was finished, Li Zhenzong saw his father trembling all over, and couldn't help asking: "Father, what did the imperial edict of the Chinese emperor say? Is it to help my Li family restore the country?"

    Li Shenzong did not answer his son, but kowtowed and cried: "My sage, all acts of chaos were done by the powerful minister Zheng. Although my father and son are the lords of the Annan Kingdom, they cannot help themselves!"

    Zhang Dai sneered: "I can't help myself? Changing the name of the Annan Kingdom to Dayue, and yin calling the king the Emperor of Dayue, is this also involuntary? Your Li family has been overbearing for hundreds of years. Do you still have the way of a monarch and ministers in your heart!"

    ? Zhang Dai took out another imperial decree: "Fengtian Yingmin Emperor Annan's monarch and ministers have overstepped for no reason. Today, the golden seal of King Annan is withdrawn and the Annan Kingdom is withdrawn.

    ?Established by Guangnan Province!  "

    Li Shenzong collapsed instantly.??’s distribution illusion.

    And when evaluating political performance, an extra promotion is given, and priority is given to being selected as Beijing officials, which makes these officials more motivated.

    Not only in Guangnan Province, but also in the shattered north, if those officials did a good job, they would be promoted by Zhao Han as an exception.  In the future, officials from Liuqiu County, Fangzhang County, Taiwan Prefecture, and Qiongzhou Prefecture will follow the same method until the localities really develop.

    Zhang Dai said with a smile: "There is another big event, this year we will restore Qiu Wei."

    Qiuwei is the imperial examination.

    Li Dingguo didn't feel much about this, but he didn't know that in the northern and southern provinces, scholars had already rushed to tell each other.

    Moreover, traditional scholars were ecstatic about the regulations for the rural examination, and Zhao Han left a gap in the imperial examination for traditional scholars.

    Although it is narrow, there are still a few people who can get in.

 Body 652

    ?The Chinese emperor bought Champa with money, and then sent troops to destroy the Zheng family in Annan. The Ruan regime was caught in the middle and trembled.

    Once the war starts, it is not as simple as a north-south attack, and troops can be transported from the sea to directly give the Ruan family a three-sided bloom!

    Ruan Phucbin, who had just fought a big victory and successfully succeeded to the throne, was originally at the brightest moment of his life.  Lord Ruan and his subjects were so full of ambition that they even called for the Northern Expedition, but what they were waiting for was the news of the collapse of the Zheng family.

    Zhao Han's two imperial edicts were not only shown to King Annan, but also announced to the world and spread everywhere!

    Ruan Fubin also got two handwritten imperial edicts, and after reading them, he felt cold all over his body.  They have always respected Emperor Li as their ruler, and their legal system also came from the king. They accused the Zheng family of kidnapping the monarch every year, saying that sooner or later they would lead troops north to the side of the Qing monarch.  .

    But now, An Nanguo is gone, and Ruan's situation is a bit embarrassing.

    He has only three options:

    First, put on the slogan of restoring the country and inherit the legal system of the Annan Kingdom.

    Second, immediately surrender the land and surrender to the emperor of China.

    Third, the formal establishment of a country and self-reliance.

    Regardless of right or wrong, one must be chosen, so as to appease people's hearts, otherwise Ruan's rule is irrational.

    On Zheng's side, at least there is an imperial court.

    On the Ruan family's side, there is not even a court, and the title of the official position is obviously of a wartime nature.

    Local prefectures and counties are all called battalions, such as Hue Camp and Guangnan Camp. Those who don’t know it think they are the army.

    The central organization is called Neizhengying.

    There are three divisions in Neizhengying, namely, Shechai Division (copywriting, judiciary), Ministers and Officials Division (finance, local military pay), and Lingshi Division (sacrifice, salary, and central military pay).  The military government does not even have a strict distinction between civil and military officials.

    With the continuous expansion of the territory, in the past few years, the four pillar countries of inner left, outer left, inner right and outer right have been added to assist in the management of central affairs in all directions.

    Although it seems that the Ruan family's government organization is very rough, the vitality of the ruling and opposition parties is far better than that of the Zheng family.

    Within the jurisdiction of the Zheng family, the royal family, the clan, and the army crazily exploited the people, and the local gentry hid their population, rampant corruption, financial coercion,

    What I got was the script of the late Ming Dynasty.

    Within the jurisdiction of the Ruan family, the territory continued to expand, killing and expelling the people of Champa, and relocating the Vietnamese and Han people.  The landlord and gentry class here,

    The influence was made very weak, and the land ownership rate of the bottom farmers was extremely high, and they got the scripts of the late Jin Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty.

    Therefore, although the Ruan family has a small land and few people and is unable to take the initiative to make a northern expedition, they can defeat the Zheng family's southward army every time.  The farmers here have land, how can foreign enemies be allowed to invade?  He fought very bravely, and to put it bluntly, he wanted to keep his own land!

    In a word, if the Datong Army came, they would meet with very stubborn resistance, and soldiers from peasant backgrounds were willing to fight with all their might.

    Li Tai, the minister of the inner left column, said: "Your Highness, the Zheng family will be destroyed in an instant, and the Han soldiers are really invincible. You should offer soil to become a minister, and send another envoy to Nanjing to request canonization."

    "What position are you requesting for canonization?" Ou Sheng, the Minister of History, immediately questioned, "The Chinese emperor destroyed the Zheng family in the north and bought the Champa Kingdom in the south. He has formed a situation of encircling us from the north to the south. He even destroyed the country.  Set up a province, also named Guangnan Province. Guangnan and Hue are our core territories, what is his intention for setting up Guangnan Province, it is obvious that he wants to annex us!"

    Ruan Fuyan, the minister of the left column outside the foreign country, said: "Is it possible to go to war with China? We even have difficulty in the Northern Expedition of the Zheng family. How can we resist the Han soldiers who are like wolves and tigers!"

    A group of officials quarreled there, and they couldn't come up with any useful regulations.

    Nguyen Lord Nguyen Phuc said frequently: "It is possible to be a minister, but it is impossible to offer soil. If this king offers soil, the Chinese emperor may really send officials over. At that time, these officials will be very troublesome. You can't kill them, and you can't use them.  Sooner or later something big will happen."

    Liang Zan, Minister of the Department of Officials, proposed: "The land under our jurisdiction is all the territory of the ancient Linyi Kingdom. Now that the Annan Kingdom is destroyed, Your Highness can establish a country on his own and become the king of Linyi. Then, in the name of the Lord of Linyi, send envoys to Nanjing to ask for help.  Feng, to test the attitude of the Chinese emperor. If the Chinese emperor refuses, then find another way. If the Chinese emperor allows, that would be great, His Highness can justifiably establish a country and become king."

    Ruan Fupin nodded and smiled: "This method is very good. Choose an auspicious day, and this king will establish a country and stand on his own. The internal and external yamen should also be reformed, and local governments and counties should also be established."

    Liang Zan also said: "Hetu, the powerful minister of the Champa Kingdom, refused to accept the Chinese officials' seizure of power, and joined forces with the congregation to raise troops and cause rebellion. Now he has been defeated and died. More than a thousand of his relatives and congregation have defected to our country. They are at the border at the moment. May I ask your highness?  Do you accept??Maybe you can win, but are you sure you are not joking, want to fight a land war with China?  How much army can we send?  One thousand or two thousand?  China annexed Vietnam, but sent tens of thousands of troops!  Chinese soldiers are not natives of Java.  They have armor, cannons and muskets, and the army is dead!  "

    "If you can't use force to solve the problem, then you will be fired from the company."

    "Even if we are fired, can the next employee recover profits? Explain the situation clearly to the headquarters and let the gentlemen there think slowly."

    "Colleagues, I think we need to adapt to the new trade environment, and the headquarters must also adapt. What we are facing now is a talented and bold founding monarch, and a China that is constantly expanding. This behemoth is terrifying, and we must not  piss them off."

    "I agree. This is no longer the business of the East India Company, but the business of the Dutch Republic. The Republic should send an official mission to

    Go to Nanjing for a diplomatic visit, instead of the company sending employees to engage in diplomacy.  "

    "There is another way. Disguise as a pirate and rob all Chinese merchant ships that you can meet. Force Chinese merchants to dare not go to sea for trade, and then we will take the opportunity to control the trade initiative."

    "But our main profit is to import goods from Chinese merchants back to Europe in Batavia. Once the Chinese merchant ships are robbed, the Chinese goods in Batavia will inevitably decrease sharply, and the company's profits will be cut in half."

    "Chinese businessmen dare not come, so we take the initiative to go to China to buy goods. If the goods of inland Chinese businessmen cannot be sold, they must be sold to us at a low price."

    "But pretending to be pirates and robbing Chinese merchant ships, will it anger the emperor of China and order a ban on selling goods to the company? Or even trigger a war?"

    "With the current strength of the Chinese navy, we don't have to be afraid of naval battles at all. Don't worry, it's not only us who are hurting our interests, but also those Chinese inland businessmen who are eager to ship, as well as suppliers along the coast of China. In order to make money, they must  If you are willing to smuggle, we will not face a shortage of supplies.”

    "Gentlemen, this approach is too radical. Once something goes wrong, the company may suffer heavy losses in the Far East. Who can bear the responsibility? Also, the Chinese navy may be defeated, but the Chinese emperor will definitely crack down on smuggling in anger,  There’s a chance that we won’t actually be able to buy goods.”

    "Don't forget, the company's current strategy is to seize Portugal's trading ports in Arabia. We have already had a deadlock with Portugal, Britain, Persia, and Ottomans. In this case, do we have to provoke China again?"

    The last sentence made all the congressmen shut up.

    The Netherlands is making enemies all over the world. Military expenditures are rising year by year, and the enemies are fighting more and more.

    At this time point, if the Chinese emperor is really angered.  China directly joined forces with Britain, and even used its interests to win over Spain. The Dutch East India Company is estimated to suffer a catastrophe.

    A group of people discussed for a long time, and the final result was to accept the reality and ask the Dutch Republic to officially send an envoy to Nanjing.

    Zhao Han really didn't expect that when he sent troops to take back Vietnam, he actually made the Dutch feel bad.

    ********

    (&lt;/div&gt

 Body 653 [Guangnan Policy]

    Zhao Han destroyed the Zheng family, except for the Ruan family and the Dutch, the monarchs and ministers of the Nanzhang Kingdom were also terrified.

    Nanzhang means Lancang, just a transliteration error.

    ? Zhao Han overthrew Annan, the main charge was that his king usurped the title of emperor.  The contents of the Inquiry Edict were spread to Nanzhang Kingdom, and the young Nanzhang King Sorinnawangsa, under the guidance of the Empress Dowager and ministers, immediately went to the country that month, and sent envoys to Nanjing to ask for the title.

    At the beginning, Daming conferred the consolation envoy of Laos, that is, the highest-level chieftain official, not the king of Nanzhang!

    It was not until the Jiajing period that the Laotian consolation envoy secretly announced the establishment of the Nanzhang Kingdom.  .  This move, without greeting the Ming court, is naturally a serious act of arrogance, and now I am afraid that Zhao Han will wipe them out.

    Since he was so obedient, Zhao Han didn't make it difficult, and gave the seal of the Laotian Consolation Envoy as usual.

    The sovereignty of the entire Laos belongs to China in name, and the chieftain officer has full power to govern the place.  In fact, changing the soup does not change the medicine, just changing the name. Nanzhang's domestic government agencies still use the same set after the founding of independence.

    In addition, the country of Jimi (Cambodia) also sent envoys to ask for a seal, and Zhao Han immediately bestowed the golden seal on King Jinnah.

    Destroy Annan, and the small countries next to him will become well-behaved.

    Cambodia is actually quite awesome. Fifty years ago, it defeated the Spanish invasion.  Five years ago, the invasion of the Netherlands was defeated, and the European colonists have been ignored.

    On the contrary, Nanpan Kingdom is amazing, sandwiched between Nguyen, Champa, and Cambodia.  The land is mountainous, and no one is a bird. They hide in the ravines and don't care about world affairs, and they don't bother to send envoys to Nanjing.  (The Kingdom of Champa was destroyed by Annan and split into three kingdoms: Champa, Huaying, and Nanpan, and then Huaying was annexed by Annan.)

    Nanjing.

    Zhao Han personally selected a group of officials, all of whom not only have excellent political achievements, but also have experience in governance in places where enlightenment is not flourishing.

    Zhang Jiayu, the chief minister of the left, Sun Chuanting, the chief minister of the right, Zhang Huangyan, the chief judge, and Shi Kefa, the enlightenment envoy.

    The administrative division has also been completely changed. The northwestern part of Vietnam has been designated as Xuan Quang Province, Quang Nam Province.  The prefecture governs Xuanguang City, including Laojie, Yilu, Yenpei and other places.

    ?The northern and northeastern regions are designated as Lang Son Province.  The government governs Lang Son City, including Taiyuan, Gaoping, Beijiang and other places.

    The main area of ??the Red River Delta is designated as Hanoi Province, which governs Thang Long City.

    Further south are Nam Dinh and Thanh Hoa (Thanh Hoa, Ngee An, Ha Tinh).

    In the entire area north of Hengshan in Vietnam, only these five prefectures have been set up for the time being, which is countless times simpler than when Zheng ruled.

    The previous broken name also had to be changed.

    ? For example, Taiyuan was changed to Quyin County because there is a Qujiang River in the north of the city.  Besides Shanxi, it is changed to Hexi County, which means the west of Hanoi Fucheng.

    Zhao Han said: "When you go to Guangnan, the first priority is land reform, and the second priority is enlightenment. Land reform must be fierce, and the mess must be cut quickly. If it is not aggressive, it will not be enough. Education must be slow, moisten things silently, and not slow enough.  To Anmin."

    Zhang Jiayu said: "Your Majesty, Guangnan has initially decided that if the land reform is forced, the gentry will definitely be in chaos."

    Zhao Han sneered: "It is to make them create chaos. Those who take the lead in the riots will be executed everywhere! Those who participate in the riots will copy their homes and immigrate, and move to Liaoning by sea boat! Only in this way can the influence of the big clan be eliminated and the stability of Guangnan Province in the future be eliminated.  There are great benefits."

    The ministers wanted to laugh when they heard this, and sent the gentry from the tropics to confiscate their homes and immigrate to Liaoning. The weather made them feel better.

    Shi Kefa, the enlightenment envoy, is a temporary official position.  In charge of the cultural and educational affairs of Quang Nam Province, the effect is very slow and the responsibility is great.

    Shi Kefa said: "Your Majesty, please move five hundred households to Guangnan. These five hundred households are all teachers and family members.

    When they arrived in Guangnan, they had to share the most fertile land and their salaries were higher than before.  "

    "Yes!" Zhao Han immediately agreed.

    This is the population advantage. When a new site is occupied, only teachers can immigrate 500 households, which is more than all the Dutch immigrants in Batavia.

    Zhao Han said: "Li Ding's National Assembly moved to Taiwan, and the families of the 10,000 soldiers will also move to Taiwan to cultivate. This division radiates Fujian, Ryukyu, Guangdong, Guangxi, Guangnan and Luzon. Liu Xinyu is stationed in Hanoi,  Control the northern part of Quang Nam Province. Ding Jiasheng is stationed in Thanh Hoa to control the southern part of Quang Nam Province. These two Guangxi divisions, and their families, will also immigrate to Quang Nam Province."

    Sun Chuanting asked: "The two divisions and their families immigrated to Guangnan. How will they divide the land?"

    Zhao Han said: "When the land reform order is issued, the gentry in Guangnan will definitely cause trouble. And they will use the language barrier to confuse the poor people to make trouble, and they will surely die. In the previous war, the Zheng family and the Mo family also killed a lot.  some gentryThe gentry and landlords in China no longer expect Zhao Han to change the policy of gentry and land.

    ? Many people have bad feelings in their hearts, and they all want to wait for Zhao Han's death to confuse the new emperor to open up land transactions.  At that time, with various resources, they will be able to slowly accumulate property, and one day they will become big landlords again.

    Over the years, I don't know how many people hoped that Zhao Han would die soon!

    There are also those who have a long-term vision and a flexible mind and start buying land in Luzon.  If there are not enough tenants, the natives of Luzon are recruited to cultivate, and there is no need for intensive cultivation, just a large area of ??sugarcane can be planted.

    Those who are looking forward to Zhao Han's death are about to take part in the provincial examination enthusiastically, and want to squeeze in through the cracks of the door to become officials in the court.

    Zhao Han knew what they were thinking, and he also knew what he was criticizing.

    Anyway, I'm still young, so if I play with them slowly, I might be able to kill them all.

    **** &lt;/div&gt

 Text 654 [Four Dissimilar Rural Examinations]

    In the midst of much anticipation, this year's rural examination was finally held.

    Zhao Han resumed the imperial examination, which is directly the provincial examination, without the county examination or road examination for scholars.

    Moreover, the traditional and the new go hand in hand.

    ?All provinces who have graduated from middle schools and have not been admitted to universities can take the provincial examination.  The local government does not provide travel expenses,

    All imperial examination fees are at their own expense.  .

    Scholars of the former dynasty, as long as they can produce a scholar certificate, they can participate in the provincial examination and imperial examination, and all expenses are also at their own expense.  but,

    The age must be under 30 years old!

    Those who are selected for the middle examination can start as a ninth-rank official, but they need to observe politics (internship) for one year first.

    Those who rank among the best in each province can choose not to be a ninth-rank official, but to go to Nanjing to participate in the general examination in the spring of the following year.  The number of places for the general examination in each province is not strictly determined according to the proportion of the population, and the number of new-style students must be several times that of traditional scholars.

    Taking Sichuan Province as the most populous province, there are 60 places for new-style students and 15 places for traditional scholars.

    ?In the three provinces of Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Hunan, the number of traditional scholars has been reduced to only 5 people—Zhao Han deliberately,

    These three provinces were the first to be won, and the scholars have not been officials until now, which shows that they are unwilling to be petty officials and suffer hardships.

    Even, even the papers that come out are different.

    The traditional imperial examinations for scholars still follow the old pattern.  But reduce the weight of stereotyped essays and increase the scores of official documents and policy theories.

    The new mathematics, physics, astronomy, geography, and Datong theory are all taken as additional questions, and the scores of the additional questions are doubled.

    The new-style imperial examination for students is actually the provincial unified examination.  The best ones will enter the university for further studies at public expense.  If the family is not short of money, they can go to college at their own expense.  If you don't want to go to university, you can go to the township examination and you will be directly assigned a ninth-rank official position.

    A small number of people can participate in the general examination, and if they pass the examination, they can become eighth-rank officials.

    The eighth and ninth ranks belonged to the last ranks in the Ming Dynasty, and would be despised by serious Jinshi.  But in Zhao Han's place, only middle-level Jinshi can release the eighth rank.

    In addition, university graduates can directly participate in the examination.

    University graduates who pass the Jinshi examination must either go to the Imperial Academy or Qintian Academy to do research, or enter the cabinet to observe politics and be a member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

    ? In three years, after the Shusheren finished, they still had to release Zhengbapin (County Cheng).  But this kind of eighth-rank, the promotion speed is faster, because they know the emperor and the cabinet ministers, even if they are not familiar with each other, they must have met face to face!

    This whole set of four different imperial examination systems is a product of the transitional period.

    Civilian scholars complained a lot, and it was time to open the door of the imperial examination for them.  The popularization of new education in various provinces,

    As the old scholars grow old, the traditional imperial examinations will be completely closed.

    In addition, the proportion of officials in the south is too large, and the recovery of the north was late, and there are not even middle school graduates.

    In order to balance the official circles of the North and the South, it is also necessary to leave a way for traditional scholars.  Moreover, this is the most important thing, otherwise Zhao Han would ignore the complaints of poor literati.

    There is another factor in the rush to resume the imperial examinations, that is, there is a problem with the current official selection system.

    According to the report of the Inspector of Integrity, a large number of cronyism, favoritism and fraud have occurred in the middle and low-level officials across the country.  Even in the past two years, Zhao Han imposed qualification restrictions on the admission of officials, but it still did not completely change the status quo.

    Hebei, Tianjin.

    Li Jixiu is already twenty-nine years old. Historically, he took part in the Imperial Examination in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was the third Jinshi in the second class in the fourth year of Shunzhi.

    But in this time and space, he is not even a Juren.  The war years were really unbearable. His family fled to Yanshan and ate sweet potatoes for several years.  It was not until last year that he took his family out of the mountains and returned to Yutian County to register for household registration.

    For the new emperor, Li Jixiu has no resentment.

    ? Although the land that had been accumulated for several generations was gone, when he returned to his hometown and settled down, the government returned his ancestral house.  His family's oil mill in the town had been sold to a small businessman who moved from other places. After he showed the certificate, the government generously compensated part of the silver.

    Moreover, according to the population of his family, the land was allocated to them.

    ? For being able to do this, Li Jixiu thinks it is commendable, and this Datong New Dynasty is really convincing.

    In fact, for the sake of political achievements, local officials wish that the population would be as large as possible.  That's why there are various policies. In addition to land, as long as the certificate can be produced, it will be returned if it can be returned, and compensation will be made if it cannot be returned.  Only in this way can the people who entered the mountain be attracted to come down the mountain and return to their original place of residence.

    In the northern provinces that are waiting to be rebuilt, population growth is the biggest achievement!

    On the day of the township examination, Li Jixiu got up in the middle of the night and arrived outside the Gongyuan in the southeast of the city early.nbsp; "Brother Jixiu, how did you do in the exam?" Zhang Zhaoyong asked.

    Li Jixiu shook his head again and again: "Astronomical questions can probably be guessed, and geography questions are all based on Mongolian. The math questions have given the answer, but they can only get half a mark. As for physics, what about mechanics, my mind is dizzy."

    Zhang Zhaoyong said with a wry smile: "It's the same with me."

    A few days later, the list was released outside the Gongyuan

    Li Jixiu checked from the back, but couldn't find his name, and then he scanned to the first place.

    This guy managed to pass the examination of Xie Yuan in Hebei Province after a short operation.

    Zhang Zhaoyong was crying and laughing next to him: "I won, I won, the tenth place, just right to go to the national exam!"

    ?Hebei Province has a quota of 30 candidates for the provincial examination, and they only need to observe politics for one year before they can become ninth-rank officials.  However, only the top ten,

    ? You can give up your Ninth Rank qualification and go to Nanjing next year to take part in the general examination.

    Li Jixiu cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, congratulations!"

    "Congratulations, congratulations!" Zhang Zhaoyong laughed.

    Li Jixiu said: "We will go to Nanjing next year."

    Zhang Zhaoyong said: "My brother Yu lives in Tianjin. Although he has survived the war, he has kept a few shops. It's still a bit of a fortune. It's not as good as Brother Xiu, so I can stay at Brother Yu's house to study, and then we will go south to Beijing for an exam."

    Li Jixiu said: "Brother Zhaoyong's kindness, I accept it with all my heart. But there are parents, wife and children at home, and they have to rush back to work in the fields. The sweet potatoes and corn planted after the wheat harvest have to be harvested and stored in the warehouse."

    Zhang Zhaoyong sighed: "I didn't expect Brother Xiu to go down to farm in person."

    Li Jixiu sighed: "It is not easy to hide in the mountains and survive. After returning to the hometown, the government divided the land again.

    It is also to compensate for the loss of the store, and I have done my best.  Hebei is vast and sparsely populated, and the allocated acres can only be cultivated by themselves. How can they recruit tenants?  It's been ten years of cold window, and the four bodies are not working hard. The crops are really not planted well, and the harvest is much less than that of the farmers in the village.  "

    It was not easy for Zhang Zhaoyong to think about it, so he said: "I am afraid that the exam will also take the astronomy, geography, mathematics and physics. I can't give you anything.

    ? Buy a set of new textbooks for you.  "

    "So, thank you very much!" Li Jixiu did not refuse, this is exactly what he needed urgently.

 Text 655【Cultivation】

    Zhang Zhaoyong bid farewell to Li Jixiu, and went home to earnestly study by himself.

    No one would know that they, a big family, died fighting against the Qing Dynasty in another time and space.

    At that time, Guangdong was occupied by the Manchus, and Zhang, a middle-aged woman in Tianjin, claimed to be the queen of Emperor Tianqi.  He engraved seals, commanded flags, distributed money and recruited soldiers in Tianjin, and contacted the peasant army in Jinghai County, repelling the encirclement and suppression by the local troops of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties many times.  Unfortunately, Zhang was captured and sacrificed, and his subordinates continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty.  .

    The governor of Tianjin was frightened and uneasy, and invited the leaders of the peasant army to a banquet in an attempt to recruit security.  When the incident came to light, the governor of Tianjin was dismissed, and the Manchu Qing sent heavy troops, and it took more than a year to wipe out the Tianjin rebels.

    In the same year, the Five Gentlemen of Ningbo were also sacrificed.

    Huaxia, Wang Jiaqin, Yang Wenqi, Tu Xianchen, and Dong Deqin learned that the Qing army in Zhejiang was transferred to Fujian.  Immediately send people to contact the anti-Qing generals Wang Yi and Huang Binqing, planning to recover Ningbo through internal and external cooperation.

    But Huang Binqing was cowardly and weak, hesitant, and dared not send troops.  The contact letter to Wang Yi was intercepted by the traitor landlord and sent to the government to report the letter to receive the reward.

    The five gentlemen didn't get a response for a long time, so they simply launched an uprising by themselves.

    ?The uprising failed, unfortunately he was captured and escorted to Hangzhou where he was tortured to death.

    However, Wang Yi, who did not receive the letter, persisted in the struggle against the Qing Dynasty. After being captured and sacrificed, his tribe continued to revolt until the Kangxi period.

    At the same time, in the northwest, an uprising broke out among the Muslims in Gansu.  Once conquered Liangzhou, controlled the Hexi Corridor, and joined forces with Han gentry and peasants, the rebel army quickly increased to 100,000, and they failed after a year of persistent struggle.

    In the southwest, although some chieftains defected to the Qing army, most people of all ethnic groups were fighting.  The Yi, Zhuang, Miao, Tujiathey have fought one after another, and would rather die than submit.

    Facing the brutal rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the people of all ethnic groups achieved great national unity.

    "Will you not send troops to destroy the Tartars this year?" Pang Chunlai asked.

    Zhao Han said: "There is not enough money and food, let's talk about it next year. Tartars are grasshoppers after autumn, and they can't jump for a few days.

    "Alas!" Pang Chunlai sighed.

    ? First sent troops to the Ryukyu and Satsuma domains, then sent troops to Vietnam, and then a large number of immigrants. The money and food of the Datong court were really not enough to fight the war.

    Zhao Han put down his emperor airs and patiently explained: "Forgive me, sir. I know your urgency to eliminate the Tartars. But in the long run, immigrating troops to Taiwan and Guangnan is more important than quickly eradicating the Tartars. The three divisions  All the soldiers and their family members immigrated to Taiwan and Guangnan. If they are not given generous and generous treatment, they will feel that they have been assigned."

    "I understand." Pang Chunlai expressed his understanding.

    ? Datong soldiers and their families who immigrated to Taiwan and Guangnan will not only be given an additional five acres of land, but the imperial court will also donate a large amount of cattle and grain.  In addition, there is no need to pay land taxes for ten years, and the land taxes will be halved within twenty years.

    ? Especially for the families of soldiers and soldiers who immigrated to Taiwan, three households will be given one cattle as a gift, and they will not have to pay land taxes for 20 years.

    The land tax will be halved within fifty years.

    Pang Chunlai suddenly asked again: "When will Your Majesty attack the Dutch on Taiwan Island?

    Zhao Han said: "It's not next year, it's the year after."

    This is really not Zhao Han's militarism, but the Dutch rule in Tainan, which has reached a critical period.  Its oppression of Han Chinese and aborigines has reached its limit. In the next two to three years, the Han people in Tainan will rebel, and the Netherlands is estimated to engage in massacres.

    This news was reported by Zhuluo Zhixian. Guo Huaiyi, the leader of the Han people in Tainan, is contacting Zhuluo Zhixian to raise troops.

    Historically, the Guo Huaiyi uprising failed, and more than 4,000 Han males in the Chichi area were arrested and 1,800 were killed

    Remain.  More than 5,000 women were killed or captured, and many children were killed or enslaved.  This accounts for four-fifths of the Han population in Chichi areas.

    Zhao Han tried every means to immigrate to Taiwan, so naturally he couldn't let the situation get out of control. This time he sent the Datong Army to station.

    It is to prevent Holland from engaging in massacres.

    When the Dutch first arrived in Tainan, their attitude was very humble. Even to build a castle, they had to buy land from the aborigines with money.

    Gradually, as the Netherlands increased its troops, it began to exploit the aborigines.

    The Dutch failed to attack the big tribes, so they bullied the small tribes, so as to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys.  They also brought smallpox to the aborigines, causing the local plague to be rampant, and took the opportunity to send troops to conquer various tribes.

    There are more than 1,200 residents in Xiaoliuqiu Island, and the Dutch slaughtered more than 400, and sold more than 100 young and strong to Southeast Asia as slaves.  All the young women on the island were assigned to Dutch soldiers as slaves, which was tantamount to exterminating the tribe of the island.

    To deal with the Han Chinese, the Netherlands first provoked division, and then brutally suppressed them.

    &nbThe grain and grass from the sea were brought in, and a large camp was built a few days later. Yuan Shizhong stayed in the camp to guard, while Li Dingguo led people to investigate the surrounding situation.

    Arriving in the Beimen Township area of ??Taiwan, Li Dingguo grabbed the soil by the river and said happily: "This is very fertile, and it is a good place to grow food."

    In the alluvial zone where the river flows into the sea, can the soil not be fertile?

    This piece of land is suitable for farming, while the coastal areas farther north and south are relatively barren, but they can be used to dry salt!

    Li Dingguo asked the Han people who had fled nearby, and asked, "Are there any natives here?"

    The Han people replied: "Yes, their tribe is called the Xiaocheng Society, and they call themselves the Siraya tribe. There are not many people, only one or two thousand, and the land is not well cultivated. They usually rely on fishing and hunting for a living."

    Li Dingguo said: "Bring five hundred catties of rice and twenty catties of salt, I'm going to visit these natives."

    Back then, Dutch people could get along well with scholars when they brought gifts, let alone Han people with black hair.

    When the rice and salt were sent out, the indigenous leaders were very happy and willing to be neighbors with the Datong Army.

    Li Dingguo returned to the barracks and summoned the entire army to give a lecture: "Don't complain in your heart, thinking that coming to Taiwan is a distribution. Your Majesty said that the family members of the soldiers moved here, and each person can reclaim 30 mu of land. No land tax will be paid for 20 years.

    The land tax will be halved within fifty years.  I went to see it just now. There are two rivers flowing into the sea. The land is very fertile, not a wild place.  As long as it has been cultivated for a few years, everyone is a landlord.  Do you want to do it?  "

    "Do it!" The soldiers shouted in unison.

    The prestige of the founding monarch is enough to dispel the resentment in the hearts of soldiers.

    ? At the time of Zhu Yuanzhang, a large number of soldiers and their families were relocated to Yunnan, Guizhou, southern Jiangxi, northeast, and even to the grasslands north of Yanshan Mountain.  There may be complaints, but the soldiers are very obedient.

    Li Dingguo said: "Don't wait for the family to come, let's do it now!"

    The soldiers set out with axes and ran to both sides of the two rivers to cut down trees and level the land.  Those who don't have an ax carry wood and stone.

    The efficiency is astonishing. In half a month, a large forest disappeared, and the felled wood can still be used to build houses.

 Text 656【Many Traitors】

    The reason why Li Dingguo was transferred to the south is because most of his soldiers are from Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong.

    Whether it is adapting to the southern climate or relocating family members for cultivation, it is more convenient and safer.

    Two months after the end of the rural examination, the typhoon passed along the coast of Fujian and Zhejiang.  The first group of soldiers' families, more than 3,000 people in total, came to the middle area between Zhuluo and Tainan.  Moreover, the government fulfilled its promise, bringing in hundreds of cattle alone, and all of them settled in the fertile river alluvial belt.  .

    10,000 Datong soldiers and more than 3,000 military families, so many people migrated here, they quickly attracted the attention of the Dutch.

    Historically, the governor of Taiwan, Kui Yi, who was driven away by Zheng Chenggong, was still in charge of the business office in Nagasaki, Japan at this time.  The current Governor of Taiwan is called Felberg. He has no prominent background. He started as a small employee of the East India Company and spent more than ten years before being sent to govern Taiwan.

    Tainan, Xingang.

    ? Felberg is presiding over the Democratic Conference, attended by aboriginal leaders, a total of 180

    More than 50,000 aborigines.  A few years ago, the participating leaders were in their early 200s,

    ? Represents more than 60,000 aborigines.  If it continues to develop, the number of leaders participating in the meeting will decrease.

    In the end, it only represented more than 40,000 aborigines.

    Where did the disappeared chiefs and aborigines go?

    killed!

    ? According to historical records, from the first session held in the Netherlands to the tenth session held,

    The aboriginal population in Tainan has dropped by 20,000.

    Whichever tribe is disobedient, it will send troops, and it is specially selected after the autumn harvest, so that they can rob food while carrying out massacres.

    What's even more disgusting is that the missionaries even ran out to sing bad faces.  Dozens of schools have been built in Tainan, and each school has only one missionary as a teacher.  What they teach is nothing more than the "Bible". They also reward the aboriginal children with candies for their studies, and even go deep into the mountains occasionally to treat aboriginal people's diseases.

    At this moment, several rows of soldiers stood beside Governor Felberg.

    At the beginning, the governor only brought two soldiers and was assassinated during the meeting, but now the meeting is like a war.

    "The Madou Society is very good. They have made outstanding contributions and have handed over the food in full for two consecutive years," Felberg said with a smile.  Crown and scepter!"

    The silver crown, of course, is not pure silver, and the main body of the scepter is also wood.

    The leader of the Madou Club is a young man, about thirty years old, who proudly came to the stage to accept the award.

    "Thank you for your service to the company," Felberg said.

    The indigenous youth knelt down on one knee, and Feuerberg personally put on a silver crown for him, and then gave him a scepter.

    Among the other indigenous leaders in the audience, there are those who are envious and those who are angry.  But they didn't dare to resist, but according to the request of the Dutch, they applauded collectively to congratulate

    Madoushe is a large tribe. When the Dutch first arrived, the tribe had a population of more than 4,000.  Now there are only 3,000 people left, a quarter of the population has disappeared, and even the leader has changed by two.

    After some pretentious rewards, Felberg's face changed suddenly: "Where there is a reward, there will be a punishment. The three tribes that do not abide by the company's policies, each tribe will be fined ten buckskins. They must be handed in within this year, otherwise  Don't blame me for being rude!"

    The three tribal leaders suddenly frowned.

    And the tribal leaders near them, some even gloating, had apparently been tamed by the Dutch.

    Announcing the adjournment of the meeting, Felberg returned to his mansion.

    Danker, the Taiwanese army commander in the Netherlands, had been waiting for a long time, and said when they met:

    "Your Excellency, the soldiers sent out came back to report that many people came from the north, including many soldiers. As for how many there are, our soldiers dare not get too close.

    Can't find out clearly.  But there must be more than 2,000 Chinese there.  "

    With a pipe in his mouth, Felberg frowned and said, "If there is a Chinese army, don't go there to collect food. More soldiers will be sent around to guard, and I'm worried that China will send troops."

    Dunker asked: "Should I write to Batavia and ask the governor of Batavia to send troops for reinforcements?"

    Felberg sighed: "I will write a letter, but no one can say for sure whether Batavia will provide reinforcements. Even if they come, they will choose to go back if there is no war for half a year, because it can save the cost of the garrison.  "

    The Dutch have been doing multilateral trade in Taiwan.

    Import spices, amber, cotton, and opium from Nanyang, silver from Japan, and silk, porcelain, medicinal materials, cotton cloth, and gold from China, all of which will pass through Taiwan.  At the same time, to China and?.  He felt that his brother's rebellion could not be successful, and the Chinese emperor's sending troops was also nonsense. It would be better to be a traitor and gain the appreciation of the Dutch, and he could inherit the property by killing his brother by the way.

    Governor of Taiwan Felberg, when he heard the news at noon the next day, he did not intend to arrest people immediately, but said: "Don't alarm the rebels, they rebelled on September 9th in China, we quietly gathered the army secretly, we must  All rebels are to be put to death.

    Also, don't publicize it to the outside world, don't tell the natives, those scholars don't know how to keep it secret.

    Guo Baocheng's leak was soon discovered, because after becoming a traitor, he did not return to the village immediately, but spent two nights whoring in Chixian City with a bounty.

    Guo Huaiyi hurriedly summoned the leaders of the uprising: "The news has leaked out, and the uprising must be started in advance, and the emperor's army must be asked to come over to help quickly. Everyone go back and prepare, and the troops will be dispatched tomorrow!"

    That night, Yang Zuocheng, Guo Huaiyi's sworn brother, went to Chixian City again to inform the police.

    This guy originally wanted to rebel, but when the news leaked, he immediately became frightened, so he became overheated and rebelled.

    Zhao Han wanted to fight the Dutch again next year, but he sent the Datong Army there, but he gave Guo Huai confidence, and he couldn't wait to launch it ahead of time.

 Text 657 [Difficult uprising]

    ?The latest website: "Kill the red hair, you will be free!

    "Kill the red hair, and you will be free!"

    The slogan of September 9th has been changed. It seems that there are scholars in the rebel army. Every family in Shimei Village cooks delicious food early in the morning.  There are chickens killing chickens, and ducks killing ducks. No matter how bad it is, no one knows whether the uprising will succeed after cooking a dry meal.  Thinking about saving food to live on.

    The insurgents first gathered in Shimei Village, and in the middle of the morning, the insurgents from the surrounding villages came to vote one after another.

    Everyone in the waist knife world has bamboo poles, pin heads, kitchen knives and other weapons in their hands.  Because the Dutch forbade the Han people to hide their weapons privately, Guo Huai, an uprising force of tens of thousands of people, climbed up and shouted: "Everyone in my hometown, the red-haired ghost squeezed our blood and sweat. Today I will take you to eat red-haired meat,  Drink red-haired blood!"

    "Eat red-haired meat, drink red-haired blood!"

    "Kill Hongmao, you will be free!

    "Kill!"

    The rebel army set out in mighty force, and when they approached Chixian City, many Han people joined in one after another, and the number was close to 10,000.  There were even eleven or twelve-year-old children, led by their mothers, charging excitedly with wooden sticks.

    Guo Huai pointed to Chixian City: "Kill me!

    Chixian City did not build a city wall. It is an urban area where Han people, aboriginals and Dutch immigrants gathered around Chixianlou.

    The rebel army divided into three groups and rushed in from three directions.

    In the area where the Han people lived together, the insurgents shouted with all their strength: "Brothers of the Han people, rebel quickly, kill Hongmao, and be free!"

    Encouraged by the rebels, the Han people in some houses and shops took up arms and joined the ranks.  There are also many Han Chinese who hide in their homes or shops, for fear that they will be involved in it. The aborigines who live there are basically the dogs of the Netherlands.  They wanted to rush into the castle, but the Dutch defenders refused to open the door and told the villagers to go back and accept the Han people.

    "All burned, not a single house left!

    Guo Huaiyi stood in the aboriginal settlement, pointing to the houses and shops there.  The houses are inhabited by the natives, but most of the shops are owned by the Dutch, and they are usually taken care of by the dog legs

    In the blink of an eye, half of the city was on fire

    "Surround Chixian Tower!" Guo Huaiyi ordered again.

    The main pattern of the five-yuan NT dollar is Chixianlou, but that is the appearance after Zheng Chenggong's reconstruction.  The Chixian Tower at this time is a typical European castle.

    As for the city of Zeelandia, where the governor of Taiwan lives, it is several miles west of the Chixian Tower, and is located on an offshore island. The terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

    Until this time, the Han uprising army had exceeded 12,000 people, and a large number of city residents participated in the uprising.

    They surrounded the red-embedded castle, removed the wooden boards to make stairs, and tried to attack the castle in the afternoon. Countless Han people carried wooden ladders and simple weapons in their hands, and rushed towards the castle desperately.  ъiqugetv.com

    Inside the castle, there are only 106 Dutch defenders.

    "Boom!"

    With the sound of a cannon, iron bullets smashed into the crowd, plowing a passage of flesh and blood, and nearly twenty rebels were either dead or maimed.

    "Hard bang bang!"

    Another gunshot rang out, and more than 30 rebels who rushed to the front fell down immediately.

    "Hell, what year is this gunpowder?

    "Those monkeys are rushing over!"

    "Go and push the wooden ladder away!"

    The Dutch defenders in the castle are now in a mess.

    They received a report from traitors last night, but they didn't take it seriously at all, and they didn't even bother to check the powder kegs, so some of the firearms of Jiashouguo were already moldy.  The gunpowder in the gunpowder barrel is not just as simple as being damp, but the whole barrel of gunpowder is hardened together or that sentence, the Dutch Army is here to make a joke.

    Their military pay is so pitifully low that they can’t support themselves at all. They usually have to leave the castle and go to work in shops in the city to make a living.  There are also quite a few who go back to their old professions to extort Han businessmen every day, and make a living by being local hooligans.

    Historically, after Zheng Chenggong besieged Chiqian Tower, more than a hundred defenders in the castle surrendered

    "It's coming up, it's coming up

    "Quick retreat!"

    The rebel army paid more than a hundred casualties and finally captured the outer fortifications of the castle. The Dutch defenders retreated in panic.

    Withdrawing and withdrawing, it became a rout and was almost wiped out by the rebel army.

    "we won!

    "Long live, long live!"

    The rebel army cheered, and Guo Huai and his group entered the castle and distributed the captured cold weapons to their cronies.

    The news of the occupation of the Chikan Building was quickly spread around.  That night, there wasNext, Zheng Chengjia, who had to hoard enough food and slowly besieged the city, regained Taiwan. Chixian City was also a government-controlled country, but Zeelandia City was besieged for nine months.  That is not a strong fortress on the island with a large number of people. The navy and army must cooperate with the naval battle and then slowly. At this time in Tainan, the Netherlands has four warships.

    The largest is the Hector, with a displacement of 650 tons, 27 iron cannons and 9 bronze cannons on board.  As for the Taiwan Fleet of the Datong Navy, although there are more than 30 warships, the largest one is only 400 tons. It is a warship built by Zhao Han, who Zheng Zhilong sold to the court at a low price.  Just practice with the Dutch.

    However, the court's plan was disrupted by Guo Huaiyi's unauthorized actions.

    Li Dingguo had to save him. He knew that the imperial court spent a lot of money and food every year on immigration.  The number of Han people near Chixian City is close to 20,000. As long as they can be saved, it will save countless immigration costs for the court.

 Text 658 [Luring the enemy into an ambush]

    Wan Bangyan, who was born in the Jiangxi Navy, is the commander of the Taiwan Fleet of the Datong Navy and has been stationed near the Penghu Islands for a long time.

    The reason why Wan Bangyan was thrown here was because most of the Han people in Zhuluo County were migrated by Zheng Zhilong.  Zhao Han was a little worried and did not dare to send Zheng Zhilong's generals to Taiwan for garrison.

    One 400-ton warship, more than a dozen 200-ton warships, and more than a dozen 150-ton warships.  Wan Bangyan is confident of defeating the four Dutch warships, but he must pay a price. Only the 650-ton Hector is enough for the Datong Navy to drink a pot.  .

    Historically, when Zheng Chenggong regained Taiwan, he declared that the Hector would be sunk by all guns.

    However, according to the records of the Dutch, the Dutch Navy mishandled the gunpowder depot by accident and sank itself after a short fight.

    In any case, it is impossible for Li Dingguo to send troops this time by boat.

    Naval battle is one thing, troop transport is another.  In case of fighting with Dutch warships during troop transport, one of them was accidentally sunk, and the army soldiers would sink along with them.

    Moreover, the areas that are easy to land in Tainan are covered by the firepower of Zeelandia City's anti-aircraft artillery. Zheng Chenggong was able to land easily because he had figured out the terrain and climate in advance, and took advantage of the short time of high tide to use the tide to move on the shallower coast.  Log in early.

    Neither Li Dingguo nor Wan Bangyan chose to take risks.

    Anyway, it was only sixty miles away, and the Datong Army was able to walk through all the thorns and thorns along the way.

    I didn't bring artillery, nor did I bring much food and grass, because I had to cross several small rivers, and I had to rush to rescue.

    The soldiers took axes and waist knives and chopped down the weeds and vines in the forest.  When encountering a river, it is not wide anyway, so trees are cut down on the spot to build a pontoon bridge.

    Two days later, it was close to the indigenous settlement of Madou.

    There is a war going on here. The Madou natives, the Mujiayouwan natives, and the remnants of the Han uprising army joined forces to fight against the Dutch pursuers.  And among the pursuers of the Dutch, there are also many Madou natives!

    The aborigines at the bottom have a deep hatred with the Netherlands.

    Hearing that the Han people had rebelled, they immediately responded in groups.  Even though the Han Chinese have failed, even though their leaders are serving as dogs to the Dutch, there are still many native brothers who are willing to stand up and fight.  This is not the first time, they have been at war with the Netherlands for eight of the previous twenty years.

    The school built by the missionaries in the Madou Society is billowing with smoke.

    The uprising coalition forces were obviously defeated, about 2,000 people fled north in the woods.  The Dutch soldiers were not chasing quickly, but the native servants fought bravely one by one, trying to exchange the heads of their compatriots for the appreciation of the colonists.

    "Brother Ang, how long will it take to see the officers and soldiers?" Mo asked while running.

    Wu Hualong said: "It's almost there, it's almost there."

    Mo Na is a warrior of the Madou Club, he is very good at hunting and has a lot of prestige in the tribe.  His father was killed by the Dutch, and he hated his leader very much, because that was the leader supported by the Dutch with force.

    There are quite a few tribesmen who have the same idea as Mo Na. This time, more than two hundred Madou warriors stood up and fought together with the Han people.

    Mo Na ran forward with a dull head, passing through a forest, and suddenly heard the sound of a chant coming from ahead.

    "Hey yo, hey yo!"

    That was the Datong army cutting down trees and carrying logs to build a pontoon bridge.

    Wu Hualong listened carefully, and was pleasantly surprised: "It's Han, there are many Han in front!"

    They speeded up and ran forward, but they heard another brass whistle.

    However, the sentinels who crossed the river in advance to warn them also spotted them and immediately blew their whistle to warn.

    On the other side of the river, Li Dingguo shouted: "The whole army put on armor immediately. Soldiers in armor, prepare to meet the enemy!"

    About 2,000 people marched in armor. At this moment, they raised their guns and aimed at the other side of the river.

    Although Wu Hualong didn't see the sentinel hiding behind the tree, he hurriedly shouted: "Our own people, our own people, we are all Han Chinese, and these native brothers are also our own people!"

    Not long after, the whole army crossed the river.

    Li Dingguo asked: "Looking at you, have you already fought a war?"

    Wu Hualong cried: "More than 10,000 people revolted and originally occupied Chixian City. But the red-haired ghost's artillery is powerful, and there are a lot of them. It must have been dismantled from the ship or the city wall. Brother Guo died in battle, and the rest  Brothers and sisters were either killed or fled, and there are only a thousand people left.

    Li Dingguo wanted to scold them a few words, but seeing them in a panic, he just said: "How many pursuers are there in the enemy's army?"

    Wu Hualong said: "There are only about a hundred red-haired ghosts, and there are two or three thousand indigenous people who serve as dogs for the red-haired ghosts. They have been biting at the back, and they will probably catch up soon.

    & nIn Taiwan, there are still more than 800 Dutch soldiers, more than 800 Dutch immigrants, and more than 1,000 slaves.  In addition, there are hundreds of Dutch wives who are similar to slave girls, all of whom were snatched after killing all the native men on Xiaoliuqiu Island.

    Danker took a boat to the city of Zeelandia and said, "Your Excellency, the Chinese army is here. There are at least several thousand people."

    "How many are there?" Felberg panicked.

    Denker said: "Nearly half of my soldiers died in battle. Do you want to defend Fort Promincia?"

    Promincia Castle is the castle in Chixian City.

    Felberg said: "Abandon Promincia Fort, all withdraw to Zeelandia Fort, and concentrate our troops to defend. I will send another ship to Batavia to ask for support!"

    So it takes more than two months to go back and forth to Batavia!

    When the two of them were discussing, more than 2,000 vanguard troops of the Datong Army had already chased and killed Chikan City.  The dozens of defenders in the castle were so frightened that they fled immediately. There was no food in the ruined castle, and they starved to death after besieging them for a month or two.

    "Brother Guo! Brother Cai! Brother Liu"

    Wu Hualong knelt in front of the castle, looked at the corpse hanging from the wooden pole, and burst into tears immediately.

    Apart from Wu Hualong, two other landlords who conspired to revolt escaped, and all the rest hung there to demonstrate.

    Li Dingguo came quickly with the main force, and asked: "Besides this castle, where else is Chixian City worth occupying?"

    Wu Hualong stood up, thought for a while and said, "There are two cattle heads in the suburbs, and there are many Tianzhu yellow cattle in them!"

    Niutousi, that is, cattle breeding farms, are all imported from India.

    In addition, the Dutch also brought large peas and cabbage to Taiwan, which are now widely planted in Tainan.

    Li Dingguo immediately sent troops to occupy two cattle farms, and all the more than 500 Indian cattle in them were confiscated.

    As for the city of Zeelandia, there is no way to encircle it for the time being, and the cooperation of the navy is needed.

    However, the city of Zeelandia was on the island, and even if they did not send troops to surround it, they would not be able to obtain enough food supplies, so they could only be transported from other places by sea boats.

 Text 659【Friends of life and death】

    Li Dingguo stood by the sea and observed the city of Zeelandia on the island with binoculars.

    The island is located at the estuary of the river. It is a sandbar alluvial by the Taijiang River, which is somewhat similar to Chongming Island.

    On one side of the island is the castle, and on the other side is the residential area.

    Li Dingguo could only see the outside of the castle, but couldn't see what was inside.  But just the peripheral defense gave Li Dingguo a headache,

    It's this kind of bloodbath group again.

    Yes, Bastions!

    There is an earth slope on the outermost periphery, and the second defense is the city wall.

    The front building has a semicircle fort and two prismatic firepower platforms on the side. This is the office of the governor and officials of Taiwan.  Once the siege party breaks through here, all personnel can withdraw inside.

    The first line of defense inside is a semi-circular fort on each side, the four corners are all prismatic enemy towers, and there is a square firepower tower on the front.

    There is a second line of defense inside, a total of two semi-circular forts, with four bastions at the four corners.

    There is almost no difference between sending 10,000 people to attack such a well-designed bastion group and sending 100,000 people to attack.  .

    The siege artillery of the seventeenth century could not be forcibly destroyed. It was nothing more than filling with human lives and using human lives to consume the ammunition of the defenders.  Digging a B-shaped tunnel is useless, at most it can break through a few outer defenses.  After attacking, there is no way to dig a hole. The four innermost bastions and one half-round fort are too unreasonable.

    "If we attack by force, I am afraid that one of our divisions will have more than half of the casualties to attack. This is because the number of defenders is not large, otherwise it is useless to fight a division." Li Dingguo sighed.

    Wu Hualong said: "The general has been here for a few years. The red-haired ghost's Taiwan City (Zelandia City) has only been built for a few years. The outer semi-circle city wall (Semi-Circle Fort) was also built at that time.  Some angular walls (bastions) of the upper city were also added.'

    Li Dingguo said: "If you don't fight, you have to fight. You can only besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, forcing the defenders to surrender after running out of food."

    Wu Hualong said: "I'm afraid it will take more than half a year to be surrounded. There are wells in the city and a lot of food." After speaking, Wu Hualong was very angry, "If I knew this, I shouldn't have helped the red-haired ghost build the city!"

    ? For the entire Zeelandia Bastion Group, the Tainan Han people were the main builders, and the local aborigines cooperated in the coolie work. The Dutch colonists only needed to design and command.

    At this moment, a group of aborigines came to Chixian City.

    They wore linen trousers, most of the men were topless, and the women covered their chests with a piece of cloth.  Moreover, all of them are sallow and emaciated, which can be seen as long-term malnutrition.

    Li Dingguo went to meet the leader, and Wu Hualong introduced: "This is the aborigine of Huweilong. More than ten years ago, the red-haired ghosts sent troops to attack, burned all their houses, and robbed them of all their food. A large tribe of thousands of people  , Nearly half of them died of starvation that year, and after that, they could only honestly feed the red-haired ghost.

    The leader was very excited to see Li Dingguo, wow, danced and danced, and finally leaned on an earthen spear and knelt down to Li Dingguo on one knee.

    Wu Hualong translated and said: "This is Uma, the patriarch of Huweilong. He heard that the general led troops to attack the red-haired ghosts. He brought all the clan members who can fight. These women and children can also fight, although they usually don't have enough to eat.  But they have been insisting on practicing their skills, just waiting for the day when they can kill the red-haired ghosts for revenge. If the general looks down on them, they can help move things. When attacking the city, they can also rush to the forefront.

    Li Dingguo looked at these aborigines. They were ragged and emaciated, but even the old and weak women and children looked at him expectantly.

    These people really came to fight, and they were determined to die.

    Li Dingguo suddenly stopped complaining about Wu Hualong. The Han people must have been forced to die for their early uprising.  Just like these natives, if there is hope of revenge, they will fight even if they die.

    Because if you don't fight, you will die sooner or later, and you will be exploited by the Dutch until you die!

    After pacifying the aborigines, Qian Huanyong, the chief missionary officer, pulled Li Dingguo aside and said, "The people's hearts are available, so we can send people back and contact the navy. The nearby sea is blocked and the Dutch are not allowed to transport food and supplies from other places. Then  , Our army has transported food so far, and distributed some to the Han people and indigenous people to help them tide over the difficulties.

    "If we distribute food to the common people, we may not have enough food," Li Dingguo said.

    Qian Huanyong came up with an idea: "Your Majesty treats the families of the soldiers preferentially. The first batch of more than 3,000 people who migrated here, each household has food donated by the imperial court.

    The family members themselves also brought food reserves.  Talk to the soldiers and their families and let them borrow the food and return it after the imperial court replenishes the army food.

    Li Dingguo nodded and said: "This plan is feasible."

    If it is placed at the end of the Ming Dynasty, let aloneEven if there were rumors about the soldiers asking for food, the entire army would be full of resentment, and there might even be a direct mutiny.

    However, the Datong court, both the government and the army, has always had a very good reputation.

    ? If it is a loan, it is a loan, and it is absolutely impossible to renege on the debt.

    Today, the salaries of officials are paid with official tickets, and the military pay of soldiers is paid with military tickets. Both kinds of tickets can be cashed at the nearest Datong Bank.  Due to the extremely high credibility of the imperial court, officials and soldiers have the habit of storing bills, unlike in the beginning when they get the bills and redeem them. Because of this, in the face of successive years of natural disasters, Zhao Han can continue to send troops to fight, and not  Increase the exploitation of the people.

    You must know that due to the severe damage in Henan and Shandong provinces, only half of the land tax is collected for all land, and the collection of full land tax will not be resumed until next year.  Many prefectures and counties in Beiping, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Liaoning, Yunnan, and Guizhou are also in the state of land tax reduction and exemption.

    Especially in Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Liaoning, and Beiping, the policy of free land tax will continue for several years!

    Even Mao Pijiang, an outcast scholar who could not understand Zhao Han's policy of seizing land from landlords, couldn't help feeling: "Since ancient times, the emperor's benevolent government has not been as good as that of the current dynasty. How fortunate are farmers.

    The Annan Zheng family, with a population of 3 million, can support more than 50,000 standing troops (one-third of the land is used to support the clan and nobles, and officials, scholars and soldiers do not pay taxes).  The Annan Nguyen family has a population of 1 million and can support more than 20,000 standing troops.  Annan Mo's family has a population of 100,000 and can support 8,000 standing troops.

    However, with a population of 90 million, Zhao Han only supported 200,000 troops, and he often lamented that the military food was not enough.  It is because in a large number of provinces, the land tax is either halved, or not collected at all, and money and food have to be allocated for disaster relief, and money and food continue to be spent on immigration.

    Qian Huanyong continued: "While using military rations to help the Han people and the indigenous people, let the missionary officers in the army temporarily act as local officials, and first set up the official shelf here. Especially the indigenous people, I heard that there are more than 200 tribes around  There are thousands of people in large tribes and only one or two hundred people in small tribes. You can ask local Han people to be general guides.

    ?While going into the mountains to distribute food relief to the aborigines, while preaching policies to establish villages and towns.  Village and town chiefs are all appointed by local people to avoid conflicts.  In this way, before the enemy's castle is surrounded, the people here will be used by me!

    "Okay, you can handle this matter." Li Dingguo was very good at fighting, but he was so-so in governing the people.

    The places that have just been conquered are automatically regarded as military-administered areas, and the army can temporarily appoint officials until the court gives corresponding instructions.

    A few days later, Wan Bangyan came with the Taiwan fleet and cruised to blockade the waters near the city of Zeelandia.  They didn't dare to get too close. Each bastion of Zeelandia City was equipped with 12 city defense guns. There were nearly a hundred guns in total, which could bombard the sea from all angles.

    Similarly, the Dutch warships did not dare to sail out of the port.

    Of the four Dutch warships, one went to Batavia to rescue troops.  The remaining three ships dare not be tough with the more than 30 ships of the Datong Navy.

    After blocking the sea area, they began to transport grain to Chixian City.  Every time, the time of high tide is pinched, and with the help of the tide, it lands at Luermen, and continuously transports grain to the Han people and aborigines.

    As for the soldiers and their families, this year they will have to tighten their belts to live a hard life before the army rations and supplies arrive from the mainland.

    But the effort is worth it, and it pays off immediately.

    The Han people and aborigines in Tainan are increasingly exploited by the Netherlands.  When the Datong Army came, even if they just announced tax exemption for this year, they would all be grateful, not to mention sending food relief.

    The nearby indigenous leaders spontaneously gathered for a meeting, and then came to thank them together.

    In front of Li Zicheng, they huffed and knelt on the ground. Mo Na had killed the leader supported by the Dutch, and became the patriarch of the Madou Society himself.  He knelt in front of him and said in Chinese: "The general is our great benefactor. From now on, the deer skins we hunt will only be sold to the general. The grain we grow will also be paid to the general. If the general is short of people  If you want to fight, just let us know, even if there are not enough warriors, the women in the clan are willing to fight for the general!"

    Li Dingguo quickly helped him up, and said to the other leaders: "Brothers, please get up quickly. His Majesty the Emperor said that all people in the world are brothers.

    The Han people are elder brothers, and you are all younger brothers.  It is the elder brother's responsibility to help the younger brother tide over the difficulties, so why should the younger brothers kneel down?  "

    As soon as this remark came out, Mo Na was so moved that he burst into tears. The native warrior actually shed tears on the spot.

    He translated Li Dingguo's words to other leaders, and these leaders were also inexplicably moved.  All of a sudden, there was a quarrel, and they all clamored to be sworn brothers with Li Dingguo. Some directly tore off the necklaces on their chests, holding them in both hands and giving them to Li Dingguo as gifts.

    Those necklaces are their amulets, mostly made of animal bones or teeth.

    Either it was the first prey caught, or a large beast was captured.  They will grind animal bones or teeth and string them into necklaces. Once they are given away, they will be regarded as life and death friends, and they can die for each other at any time.

    Li Dingguo didn't know why, but also felt that this kind of bone chain was not valuable, so he accepted it all with a smile.

    Seeing Li Dingguo accepting the necklace, the leaders were even happier.

    It wasn't until several days later that Li Dingguo realized what he had received.

    Where is this necklace?

    This is the friendship of many tribes in Tainan. In the future, if Li Dingguo gives an order, all the aborigines in Tainan will be dispatched.  &lt;/div&gt;??Amulets are mostly made of animal bones or teeth.

 Text 660 [Dutch reinforcements]

    ?It takes about 30 to 45 days to sail from Tainan to Batavia one way, depending on luck.

    Good luck, smooth sailing, it will arrive in a month.

    If you are unlucky, you may never get there in your life.

    The Taiwan rescue ship in the Netherlands was lucky and arrived in Batavia in less than 40 days.

    "Thousands of people attacked Zeelandia?" Van der Lin was so startled that he almost jumped up.

    The messenger said: "Your Excellency, there are really thousands of people."

    Taiwan is the trade transshipment center of the Netherlands in the Far East, especially after the abolition of the Vietnam trade station, it has become the only transit point for Japan-Netherlands trade.

    If Taiwan is lost, the governor, Van der Lin, will 100% be dismissed.

    Van der Lin quickly asked: "Why did the Chinese emperor suddenly send troops?"

    The messenger said: "The Tang people there refused to obey the management and have always been prone to riots. Over the years, there have been sporadic riots several times. Maybe the Chinese emperor had long intended to attack Zeelandia, so he sent troops to station in the north of Zeelandia.  More than a month ago, more than 10,000 Chinese rioted and were defeated by our heroic Dutch army But on the third day of the riot, the Chinese army appeared."

    Van der Lin asked for some more details, then dismissed the messenger and ordered a company general meeting.

    There is nothing to discuss, if you don't fight, you have to fight.

    Otherwise, not only the governor, Van der Lin, will get out, but most of the congressmen will also be held accountable.

    The focus of their discussion was how many reinforcements should be sent over.

    It is impossible to dispatch all of Batavia's Dutch fleet, and the army has to leave some defenders.  Because the Netherlands had enemies in Java, the British and the Bantenes were eyeing them.  Once Batavia is empty, maybe they will jointly declare war on the Netherlands, and Batavia may be lost on the spot.

    After repeated quarrels, the size of the Dutch reinforcements was as follows: 18 warships and 1,600 army soldiers.

    This is already the limit of what the Netherlands can dispatch. If they want to send more, then Batavia can declare that they don't want it.

    Dutch Reinforcements - The Admiral of the Navy is Van der Laan, and he knows that he is an aristocrat when he hears his name.

    The capital ship is called "Stubborn John". Like the "Hector", it is an armed merchant ship with a displacement of 650 tons.  Both of these two battleships were built in recent years. There was not even one over 500 tons before.  , the crew even killed each other to grab food after landing).

    The army is obviously unpopular. The commander-in-chief of the army is named Adorp. The veterans at the bottom of the colony are promoted, and they have nothing to do with nobles.

    When he was in Holland, he was just a bankrupt blacksmith.

    Peter, the former commander of the Dutch Army, once joined forces with the Datong Army to attack Manila.  This person has already been transferred to India. If he is still in Batavia, he must firmly oppose sending reinforcements.  He knew the terror of the Datong Army, which actually captured the city in a typhoon, and its fighting power crushed the Dutch Army.

    Zhao Han in Nanjing had already received the news before Batavia Governor Van der Lin sent troops.

    Calling Gu Jianshan, the captain of the navy, Zhao Han asked, "When is the earliest time a battleship made of oak wood can be launched?"

    Gu Jianshan replied: "Next summer at the earliest, winter next year at the latest."

    "I can't wait," Zhao Han said, "Guangzhou and Fuzhou fleets will immediately reinforce Taiwan. I think the Dutch will send reinforcements. Taiwan is extremely important, and the Dutch are reluctant to lose it. They will fight a war even if they don't care about the consequences. Also, let us  Fujian and Guangdong sea merchants,

    Send news to Britain, Spain and Southeast Asian countries.  Let’s just say that in the war between China and the Netherlands, Batavia’s troops were empty, and those who wanted to find trouble quickly took the opportunity to do it.  "

    "I obey the order!" Gu Jianshan clapped his hands and said.

    Just this year, the King of England was executed and Lord Protector Cromwell assumed power.

    Cromwell has already set his sights on the Netherlands. Although he is in control of the country, there are a large number of opposition groups in the country, and he must rely on war to transfer internal conflicts.

    And the Netherlands is the primary enemy of Britain.

    The Netherlands first controlled trade in the North Sea (northeast Atlantic Ocean), which led to a sharp drop in the profits of British maritime merchants.  A few years ago, they took advantage of the British Civil War to borrow money to make money, and forced the British aristocrats who could not repay their debts to hand over all kinds of business privileges in their hands.  Even when the Netherlands expanded in the Americas, it went to Britain's North American colonies to make trouble.

    Not long ago, he even bullied the British at their doorstep.

    Dutch businessmen fished in British offshore fishing grounds, expelled British fishermen by force, and monopolized fishing rights in several fishing grounds.  As a result, the British fishing price rose, and the Dutch merchants took the opportunity to sell the fish caught in the British fishing grounds to the British at a high price.: "Advance at full speed, go to Busuanga Island to rest. Then use Busuanga Island as a base, first go to explore the situation on Luzon Island, and be ready to fight the Chinese in Luzon at any time!"

    This Sino-Dutch war is different from Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan in history.

    Zheng Chenggong moved to Taiwan with his troops because he had no foothold in the mainland.  As for Zhao Han, he not only won Vietnam,

    Moreover, there are troops stationed in Luzon, and there are two vassal states of Brunei and Sulu in the middle.

    Therefore, the reinforcements sent by the Netherlands did not dare to go directly to Taiwan. Their default battlefield was the waters of Luzon Island.

    The Dutch fleet speeded up and sailed into the northeast bay of Busuanga Island, with the earth castle of the Dutch colonists on the shore.

    Adopu himself climbed up to the watchtower and observed carefully with a telescope. Suddenly he shouted in horror: "Quickly withdraw from the bay, our castle has been bombarded, the Chinese must have occupied this place!"

 Text 661 [Ambush at sea]

    "They found it."

    Tie Hong is in the castle at the moment, observing the Dutch fleet with binoculars.

    Li Dingguo's army did not come because the distance was too far.  Those who sent troops to occupy Busuanga Island were the black buddies who were in charge of stationing Luzon.

    There were a total of 3,000 Luzon garrisons, and Tie Hong brought 2,000 over, and the remaining 1,000 stayed in Manila to defend the city.  .  These 3,000 troops were formed by conscripting farmers and soldiers from Fujian and Guangdong. They have never fought much, and their combat effectiveness is definitely not as good as that of the regular Datong army.

    Of course, it is more than enough to take Busuanga Island.

    The Dutch castle on the island was built more crudely than the earthen castles in the Han villages and towns in Liaodong because they were reluctant to spend money.  There were only more than 30 defenders, and their combat effectiveness was very poor. They were still able to beat the aborigines, but they were bombarded by the Datong Navy, so they directly chose to surrender in Kaesong.

    This island is actually not that unbearable, its area is larger than Amami Oshima, only smaller than Ryukyu Island.

    Although the island is mountainous, there is also a lot of land that can be cultivated, but the indigenous agricultural technology is too backward.  If the Han people migrated here, it would be good for land reclamation and development, and the food produced could allow tens of thousands of people to be self-sufficient, not to mention fishing in the offshore.

    Hearing Adorp's warning, Van der Laan quickly asked the adjutant to issue an order to signal the fleet to leave the bay.

    But it was too late, because the ambush site of the Datong Navy was too close.

    Behind several small islands in the northern part of the bay, there are more than 20 Chinese warships hidden.  There are also a large number of islands in the southern part of the bay, hiding more than 60 Chinese warships.

    The Sultan of Brunei and the Sultan of Sulu, after seeing the Dutch fleet, all sent ships to report that the Chinese navy could calmly set up an ambush.

    As for the Chinese army, why is it dispatching troops faster than the Dutch fleet?

    The reason is simple. It takes time for the Governor of the Netherlands to mobilize troops.

    Of the 18 Dutch warships, 5 of them were transferred from Malacca, and even 100 troops were drawn from Malacca.

    As for the Chinese army, after the emperor issued an order, the clipper sailed to Shanghai overnight.  The Shanghai Fleet set off immediately, took the Ningbo Fleet halfway, and then took the Fuzhou Fleet. The three fleets each took 80%, and the remaining 20% ??continued to perform the original mission.  In addition, there is the Guangzhou Fleet, which is responsible for patrolling the coasts of Guangnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong, and is on guard against the Netherlands coming from here.

    The fleets of Shanghai, Ningbo, and Fuzhou, in order to catch up with time, did not even bring enough military rations, and all replenished in Luzon.

    "Left full rudder, block the opening, don't let the red-haired ghost escape!" Hong Xu shouted.

    On the other side, Shi Daxuan was also shouting: "Side sail, quickly hit the side sail, we are against the wind!"

    Wan Bangyan was in the most southwest, drew out his command knife and roared: "Open the sails, don't need to fire, go straight there, cut the enemy fleet in two!"

    This sea area is perfect for ambushes.

    If it weren't for the vigilance of the Dutch army commander Adop, who observed the fortress and found traces of shelling, the Dutch navy would still be foolishly sailing to the port.  At that time, it will be completely blocked, and there will be no room to move.

    There is no need to use binoculars at all, Vanderlande can see clearly with the naked eye that nearly a hundred Chinese warships are coming from the northeast and southwest.

    If the Dutch fleet breaks through directly, the wind direction is a crosswind.  However, they had to sail to the southwest against the wind first, and then escape across the wind, because there were several small islands in front of them.

    ——It is not possible to go around the island with a downwind, it is too close to the Chinese fleet, and it will collide head-on with Shi Daxuan's troops.

    But it is even more impossible to go around the island against the wind, because there are too many Chinese warships to face.

    Van der Laan made a decisive decision and ordered: "Sail to the northeast and directly hit it!"

    Ever since, 18 Dutch warships headed northeast with the wind, where there were 23 warships led by Shi Daxuan.

    Shi Daxuan's fleet sailed due west, changing from headwind to crosswind, trying to physically block the opening and prevent the enemy ships from escaping the encirclement.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Both sides were firing, Shi Daxuan fired the side guns, while the Dutch fleet fired the bow guns.

    "Stop it, don't let the red-haired ghost go!"

    The 650-ton Dutch battleship "Stubborn John" crashed into the side of a 200-ton Chinese warship under full-speed charge.

    There was a big gap in the side hull of the Chinese warship. Under the violent impact, it almost turned over and fell into the sea.  The ship was basically hopeless and would sink in a short while, and the navy soldiers jumped into the sea to escape.

    Van der Laan roared: "Don't get entangled with the enemy ship, quickly bypass the island to break through!"

    Wan Bangyan is located on the southwest side of the battlefield, and is still chasing at full speed with the wind.

    Hong Xu's position was due to the west, and he ordered: "Turn to the north, bypass the smallreturned to Batavia.

    Standing on the tower of the Governor's Mansion, Van der Lin saw only two warships returning, his heart froze immediately.

    It's over, it's over!

    The warships of the Dutch East India Company can be rebuilt, but he, the governor, will definitely be dismissed by the headquarters.

    Van der Laan and Adorp came to the governor's mansion in disgrace.

    "What's going on?" Van der Lin asked angrily.

    "We were ambushed," Vanderlaan said.

    Van der Lind said: "The navy was ambushed?"

    Van der Laan explained: "Luzon is China's territory. If you want to rescue Zeelandia, you must go through the waters of Luzon. I guess the Chinese navy must be gathered in Manila, so I want to use Busuanga Island as a base.  Land on Sanga Island, then send warships to Manila to investigate, and then deploy a combat plan according to the specific situation."

    "And then?" Van der Lin asked.

    Van der Laan began to shirk his responsibilities: "The defenders on Busuanga Island are all trash. It took a long time for the fortress to be occupied by the Chinese. The sea area near Busuanga Port has extremely complex terrain and is full of islands.  , Warships can be hidden everywhere. What’s even worse is that there is an island blocking the vicinity of Busuanga Port. After our army is ambushed, we have to bypass that island if we want to break through!”

    Van der Lin didn't bother to listen to the explanation any more, and said, "Write the letter of resignation with me."

 Text 662【Enemies all over the world】

    The Netherlands lost 15 warships at one time, and the variables brought about can be large or small.

    Because the Netherlands does not rely on large ships to dominate the sea, but the more than 10,000 merchant ships.

    Take the first Anglo-Dutch war as an example. The Netherlands sold its European fleet to only 55 old warships.  However, after many frictions with the United Kingdom, the Netherlands felt that war was inevitable, so it requisitioned a large number of armed merchant ships, expanding to 226 in less than half a year.

    In the past few years only, the Second Anglo-Dutch War broke out.  .

    The Netherlands, whose economy was paralyzed, dispatched hundreds of warships again.  This is still the case when the commander of the Dutch Navy led a large number of warships on an expedition to Africa, otherwise the number of warships in the Netherlands must be close to 200.

    As far as the Netherlands is concerned, it doesn't matter if it loses a fleet, and it can make up for it with armed merchant ships every minute.

    The real headache for the Netherlands is the lack of personnel and the huge commercial benefits that will be lost after losing the war.  The Netherlands is not like a country, but more like a big company, and the company's first consideration is profit.

    Governor of Batavia, Van der Lin, immediately requisitioned 8 armed merchant ships.

    Instead of sending troops to Taiwan, he wanted to stabilize the situation on Java Island and prevent the United Kingdom from sending troops to Banten.

    The British East India Company and the Dutch East India Company competed fiercely in Asia. The Netherlands even massacred the British and killed all the British on an island.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    It was not who was shooting, but a merchant ship in Batavia Harbor, and suddenly the crew set off firecrackers on the deck.

    The incense master Zheng Hua waited for the firecrackers to be set off, and shouted towards the shore with a smile: "Great victory, great victory, the court's navy defeated the Dutch navy in the Sulu Sea! Long live your majesty! Long live the Datong navy!"

    "Long live Your Majesty, long live the Datong Navy!"

    The Chinese businessman on the pier shouted with his buddies.

    The Chinese coolies who settled here couldn't help smiling, but they were afraid of causing trouble, so they didn't follow suit and shouted long live.

    Zheng Hua is Zheng Zhilong's confidant. Zheng Zhilong is no longer out of the sea, busy building bridges and paving roads in his hometown, donating money to the school frantically, and wants to let all Zheng's descendants go into official careers.

    However, the Zheng family's trading fleet is the largest in the country.

    As for the incense master held by Zheng Hua, it belongs to the regular configuration of the fleet. Its main duties are: to take care of the Mazu gods on board, worship Mazu and the compass, and offer tributes to the straits and islands along the way (the straits and islands have spirits, which can  bless the fleet).

    To put it bluntly, the incense master is dedicated to incense, which can be understood as the Minister of Rites in the fleet.

    News about the war quickly spread to the shipyard.

    Lin Changfu was still working in the shipyard at this time, but a few years later, his son has grown up and married a mixed-race woman as his wife

    ——Mixed blood of Han Chinese and Malays.

    After finally making it to dinner time, Lin Changfu said to Chen Dongshan: "The emperor won the battle, have you heard?"

    "I heard, don't implicate us." Chen Dongshan said worriedly.

    A few years ago, Chen Dongshan said that he wanted to return to his roots, and he took his wife and children back to China to repair the ancestral graves.

    But he didn't leave after all, because he suffered a serious illness and spent a lot of money on treatment.  And because he didn't believe in religion, the Batavian colonial government increased the poll tax for those who refused to convert.  Here, Europeans have the lowest tax, followed by the Malays, while the Chinese have the highest tax.

    This situation is not a special case, it is the same in the whole Nanyang.

    The main reason is that the Han people are too capable. The colonists of Spain, the Netherlands and other countries had to suppress the Han people through taxation.

    Lin Changfu sighed and said, "That's right, I'm afraid that Hongmao will lose the fight and take his anger out on us Tang people."

    Chen Dongshan looked forward to it: "I heard from the merchants in Bacheng (Batavia) that after the emperor occupied Luzon Island, the Tang people in Luzon would no longer pay heavy taxes. This time, they are attacking Taiwan again. The Tang people in Taiwan must definitely  They also don’t pay heavy taxes. It would be great if the emperor sent troops to occupy Bacheng one day, and we would all have a good life.”

    Lin Changfu grinned: "That's great."

    His son Lin Yaozu interrupted suddenly: "Uncle Chen, my father said that the Tang Dynasty is very big, and the city of Guangzhou is bigger than the city of Bacheng. Is he bragging?"

    "Go away!" Lin Changfu cursed.

    Chen Dongshan suddenly laughed, and said with disdain: "Compared with Guangzhou, this Bacheng is nothing!"

    Lin Yaozu asked again: "Adjoining Bacheng, Wandan and Matalan are the largest. Is Wandan and Matalan together as big as Tang?"

    "The Tang Kingdom is bigger than ten Wandan Kingdoms!"p; Denker directly asked: "Surrender?"

    Felberg said: "Persevere a little longer, wait until the food is finished."

    Denker asked: "The time has dragged on for too long, and the Chinese army has consumed too much rations. Will it be dangerous to surrender at that time? What if the Chinese are angered and we are all killed?"

    Fairberg fell silent for a moment.

    Denker didn't speak. He had killed too many Han Chinese and indigenous people, and he didn't dare to surrender at this moment.

    The castle was built on the island, and there was no way to escape, nor did he dare to surrender, so he could only bite the bullet and delay.

    After a long time, Felberg said: "Send envoys to contact us. If you are willing to let us go back to Batavia, you will agree to surrender and let Zeelandia go."

    The so-called envoy was a Han Chinese living on the island.

    When this person saw Li Dingguo, he immediately explained his intention.

    Li Dingguo sneered: "Go back and tell the red-haired ghost that His Majesty has ordered that the debt be paid with blood! Although the Datong army is short of food, they can still siege the city."

    There is no need to besiege the city at all, just keep the Taiwan fleet and patrol the nearby waters every day to prevent the Dutch from going out to buy food.

    On the side of Chixian City, 2,000 Datong troops are enough.

    For the rest, what to do, let the Dutch slowly consume food on the island.  Half a year later, the food ran out, and all the Dutch on the island starved to death.

    **** &lt;/div&gt

 Text 663 [The Distress of the Prince and Daughter of the Former Dynasty]

    Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 663 Nanjing, Forbidden City, Qinzheng Palace.

    The emperor's usual office desk was lifted aside at this moment.

    Zhao Han sat on the throne with a calm expression, looking ahead.

    In front of him are four painters.  ъiqugetv.com

    There is a painter named Zhu Mou, who is a descendant of King Ning.  Standing next to him is his nephew Zhu Tong, whose handwriting is hard to read, let's call him Zhu Da.

    Another painter named Li Zhicheng, an Italian, stood next to his Chinese apprentice.  .

    Both of them are swaying paintbrushes, and the nephew and apprentice help out.

    After some time, Zhu Moou took the lead and said: "Your Majesty can read a book." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at the Italian as if provocative.

    Li Zhicheng also said: "Your Majesty, please help yourself."

    The table has not been brought back, and the painters still need to perfect the details of the clothes. Zhao Han just doesn't need to pose anymore, just sit there and read a book by himself.

    ?Drawing until noon, neither of them finished the painting, but they all chose to resign, and the rest can be taken elsewhere to finish.

    Two days later, Zhu Mouyi came to hand in the task first. It was a traditional meticulous painting of portraits of characters, and the name was "The Royal Face of the First Emperor of the Republic of China".

    Zhao Han got it done here, and Zhu Moou went to paint the portraits of the concubines, while the Italian Li Zhicheng was still working on it slowly.  This foreign devil painted oil paintings, oiling layer by layer, and it took half a month at the shortest time, and one or two months at the longest. After all, he was very serious about painting the emperor's portrait.

    When the victory report of the Nanyang naval battle came back, Li Zhicheng finally finished the painting and presented the oil painting to the emperor.

    Zhu Mouyi and Zhu Da's uncle and nephew came to watch the jokes of foreign devils.  They have already painted all the portraits of the concubines, and the foreign devils have just finished the first one.

    Zhao Han compared the two portraits, each with its own merits, and said, "You guys should take a look too."

    Zhu Mouyi took his nephew and bowed to receive the oil painting from the female officer.  At first he was disdainful, but soon he began to look at it seriously, because the light and shadow effects of oil paintings aroused his interest.

    "How?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhu Moou said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, this Western oil painting also has merits."

    Zhao Han said: "You can learn from each other, maybe you can combine Chinese and Western styles to create a new painting method."

    Historically, it was Castiglione who combined Chinese and Western styles.

    "Follow the order!"

    The two painters bowed at the same time.

    Zhao Han said: "There is a new painting hall at the Hanlin Academy. You should all go to the painting hall and become a bachelor."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two were overjoyed.

    The emperors of all dynasties wanted to support royal painters.  Zhao Han didn't plan to be raised in the Forbidden City, and he was thrown into the Imperial Academy together, and the salaries of those painters were not bad.

    Zhao Han waved and said, "Zhu Da, come here."

    Zhu Da's identity is the son of Prince Yiyang. If the Ming Dynasty does not perish, he can be a county king with rich clothes and fine food.

    When the Datong army captured Yiyang, his father was so scared that he almost hanged himself.  Later, after a public trial, it was found that several generations of Yiyang kings were all obsessed with the art of poetry and painting, and they didn't care about other things, and those who did evil were all the officials of the palace.

    So, Yiyang Wang and his family were not punished, but their property was confiscated.

    Even the palace is kept, just take off the plaque, only the garden villa is confiscated.  King Yiyang also reciprocated, volunteering to donate money and food to help the Datong army pacify eastern Jiangxi.

    King Yiyang died of illness four years ago, and Zhu Da followed his uncle to Nanjing for three years in obedience.

    He even changed his name, no longer using the family name of the Ming Dynasty, but directly changed it to the current Zhu Da.

    Hearing the emperor's call, Zhu Da hurried forward: "Caomin is here."

    Zhao Han said: "You are not yet 30 years old. If you want to be an official, you can go back to Jiangxi to take the provincial examination next year."

    Zhu Da said: "Your Majesty, Cao Min is not a scholar of the former court, and he is not eligible to take the provincial examination."

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "I have granted the license."

    Seeing that his nephew was stunned and silent, Zhu Moou hurriedly urged: "Don't thank you yet!"

    But Zhu Da said: "Your Majesty, Caomin is obsessed with painting, and has no intention of career. Caomin wants to enter the Painting Gallery of the Imperial Academy."

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "Sure."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhu Da cheered up.

    When he was in his teens, Zhu Da had resentment towards the Datong Xinchao.  Now I have figured everything out. Except for the heinous and beheaded clans of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangxi, which one is not luckier than the clans in other provinces?

    Look at those princes in the north, what will happen to the rogues.

    The painters left the palace and really planned to go back to competeYan said: "It's better not to bother Auntie, lest His Majesty be unhappy."

    However, Zhu Cijiong seemed to have grasped at a life-saving straw: "Your Majesty is merciful, I will definitely not blame you, just this one time. It is not to embarrass Auntie, just try to say a few words of kindness, and see if I can ask Your Majesty to marry me."

    After thinking about it, Zhu Cihong also felt that procrastination was not the solution.

    He was not afraid of annoying the emperor, but he did not want to be helped by the emperor.  As he got older, the former prince became more sensible, and his views on Zhao Han were very complicated.  There is resentment, there is gratitude, and all kinds of emotions are mixed together, so I don't want to get involved with the emperor anymore.

    But it is impossible not to get involved, before he started working, he moved out with his younger siblings.

    The house was rewarded by the emperor, the living expenses were borrowed from the emperor, and the tuition fees after middle school were also borrowed from the emperor.  Although the emperor would definitely not urge them to repay the debts, they could simply refuse, but the brothers and sisters of the Zhu family kept it in mind.

    Even, they dare not take the initiative to ask to move to other places, for fear of causing unnecessary associations with the emperor.

    After hesitating for a long time, Zhu Cihong said: "There is no need to ask Concubine Tian, ??I will ask His Majesty by myself tomorrow."

    The next day, Zhu Cihong went to the imperial city, took out the waist badge given to him by the emperor, and the guards of the imperial city immediately reported it.  The reply was also quick, and the emperor asked them to go to the Imperial Garden to have an audience with the brothers and sisters in two days.

 Text 664 [Troublesome Marriage]

    I scroll a sleepy shoal 664 Royal Garden.

    Zhao Han flipped through the front-line report sent by Tainan, but he really didn't care about Zeelandia City.

    Two thousand Datong troops are stationed in Chixian City, and the Taiwan fleet goes on patrol every day.  The Dutch in Zeelandia couldn't go ashore or go out to sea, so they were all held back on the island.

    Even the Han people in the residential area, who thought they were good at water, secretly left the island at night and swam to the shore to join the Datong army.  These Han Chinese are not all the hooligans of the Dutch, many of them just work on the island, such as barbers, shoemakers, tailors, cooks and so on.

    More and more Han Chinese escaped from the island, and those with poor water skills also ran away. They removed the door panels and rowed to the opposite bank.  .

    Until the end, the Dutch sent troops to guard and forbid anyone to leave.

    However, the soldiers had already lost their will to fight, and those Dutch soldiers were too lazy to guard and patrol.  They took out their stocks one after another, smoked and drank while on duty, and guarded like a sieve, and the Han people ran away within a few days.

    On the entire island, only the Dutch and slaves remained.

    No one to shave their heads, no one to repair their shoes, no one to clean up their shit.  The castle and ghetto stinks, and the little arable land is lying waste, and the slaves are useless.

    If this continues, even if the Dutch don't starve to death, they will be suffocated.

    "Bring a pen." Zhao Han said.

    Li Xiangjun immediately brought a pen and paper.

    Zhao Han wrote an order and handed it to the female officer in charge of rituals: "Let the cabinet be transferred to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion."

    This order is very simple, let Li Dingguo go to the north to train a cavalry division after the spring of next year, and Huang Fei will be transferred to Taiwan to take over the post of division commander.

    There is a reason for the transfer and transfer.

    It was his teacher who transferred Li Dingguo to the south, with the most Fujian and Guangdong native places.

    Transferring Li Dingguo back to the north means expanding the army again!

    When fighting on the grasslands, cavalry is very important. Currently there is only one pure cavalry division, and Zhao Han decided to train a second one.  War horses are enough. There is an official horse farm in Liaodong, and the Mongolians on the grassland have often gone south to sell horses in the past two years.

    Before, there was not enough food, and a large number of immigrants consumed too much, so the army had to save some money.

    ?Next year, it will be slowed down. In Shandong and Henan provinces, the land tax reduction and exemption period has passed, and the land tax will be collected in full next year.  Moreover, the Datong Bank in the north, and the money and food exchange points are gradually spreading, the population of Shandong and Henan provinces is also enriched, and more and more abandoned land is reclaimed.

    Shandong and Henan have recuperated for several years, and finally blossomed and bore fruit.

    Zhao Han even guessed that the actual population of these two provinces must have exceeded the previously reported numbers, and many people who hid in the mountains came out again.

    In addition, each division of the Datong Army will increase to 11,000 people next year.

    The increase of 1,000 people can probably be understood as a regular engineering unit.  In addition to being an engineer, they occasionally acted as civilian husbands, helping to transport luggage and so on. They were also in charge of the military convoys-before they were paid to recruit farmers and soldiers to do things.

    This kind of arms is also available in Daming, and they are selected from the army.

    For those military households in Ming Dynasty, the eldest son was a soldier and had military membership.  The other brothers in the family are designated as military surplus, and they can find things to do on their own.  But if there is a war, some soldiers will have to be recruited to help the main soldiers carry armor, help the main soldiers wash clothes, etc., and even serve as auxiliary soldiers.

    In addition, another 3,000 elites were selected from each army, and recalled to Nanjing to serve as the imperial guards. The number of emperor's imperial guards reached 5,000.

    After the military reform next year, together with the newly formed cavalry divisions, the number of regular troops nationwide will be close to 250,000.

    If you count the inspectors in the provinces, excluding the urban police force, the total strength is about 400,000.  Like the police, most of the inspectors are veterans. They are mainly slightly disabled and slightly older soldiers. Their combat effectiveness is not inferior to that of the regular army.

    In the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, the number of patrol soldiers is very large. To put it bluntly, it is to prevent the remnants of chieftains from causing chaos!

    Continuing to expand in the north, to be honest, Zhao Han is not enthusiastic, because the time is not ripe.

    Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's previous Northern Expeditions, you will know that the first two hurricane advances, due to the unstable foundation in the north, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately stopped after learning the lesson.  At that time, the north was completely destroyed, and there was not much population at all. All the military supplies had to be transported from the south, which was time-consuming and labor-intensive.

    Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang immigrated to farmland in large numbers, and after eight years of operating in the north, he began the third Northern Expedition.  This is much easier, the population in the north is more substantial, and it is also convenient to collect civilian husbands and military rations on the spot.

    The situation Zhao Han was facing at this time was similar. The population in the north was too small, and even if the grasslands were knocked down, it would be difficult to hold them.  Even if you can keep it, you still have toCan't forget?  "Zhu Cihong said depressedly.

    Auntie Zhu said: "It's not that I can't forget it, it's that I'm discouraged."

    At that time, Zhu Cihong was still studying at Jinling University, and Mr. Li came to Nanjing to visit relatives.  Once, Zhu Cihong took Zhu Aimee and met Mr. Li while visiting a bookstore.

    Talented and beautiful, fall in love at first sight.

    After Mr. Li left Nanjing, he still kept correspondence for a long time, saying that others would not dare to marry the princess of the former dynasty, but he, Mr. Li, would dare to copy his family and exterminate his family, and he would return to Nanjing to propose marriage soon.

    Suddenly, the communication was cut off, and there was no more audio.

    There is a high probability that Mr. Li explained Aimi Zhu's identity when he asked his parents to send someone to propose marriage, and then everything came to naught.

    Aimee Zhu has been waiting for a letter from the other party for a year, two years Just last year, a letter finally came, but Mr. Li has already married a wife, so she told Aimee Zhu not to wait any longer.

    Since then, Auntie Zhu no longer trusts men, thinking that men are big pigs.

    Zhu Cijiong suddenly said: "It's fine for my sister to marry His Majesty, anyway, Dad agreed at the beginning."

    Zhu Cizhao became anxious immediately: "How can I do that. My mother is His Majesty's concubine, so is my sister also His Majesty's concubine?"

    "That's right, it's out of order." Zhu Cijiong scratched his head, looking not very smart.

 Text 665 [Cangjie Pavilion]

    Wei Cizhen is really heartless, not worried about her sister's marriage at all, happily ran to the Imperial Academy as a librarian to complete the entry procedures, Zhu Cizhen began to get familiar with the huge amount of library collections, the librarian is not only responsible for organizing  , Maintenance, borrowing books.  The book classification mode is still the method of quartering the subsets of classics and history, and religious works are listed separately in the form of appendices.

    Weici was assigned a master named Qin Daiwen

    ,Teach him how to manage books systematically and formally.

    This is the bibliography of the library collection," Qin Daiwen threw a large tome, "not to mention memorizing all of them, at least there must be impressions everywhere.  When you get a copy, you can immediately think of its location, and then follow the map to find the book and open the catalog. The opening chapter is a general introduction, which roughly introduces the situation of the Hanlin Academy.  It also specifically stated that it was "ordered by His Majesty the Emperor of the People's Republic of China"

    As for science books, literature books, and art books, they are all classified into the "sub" department in the classics and history subsets.  These are Zhu Cizhao's favorite miscellaneous books, so I skipped over to read "Zi Bu Zong Shu".

    For several days in a row, Zhu Ciyi did nothing else but memorized the catalog of books. On this day, when he heard the quarrel downstairs, Zhu Cizhen frowned and asked, "Teacher, the library building should be quiet, why are there always people arguing outside?"

    Devon laughed

    "It's people from the Cangjie library. They quarrel every day. They don't say anything when they quarrel in their office. If they encounter any disagreements, they will go all the way to the library. Most of them want to borrow some ancient books.

    Cangjie Hall is a relatively young institution in the Imperial Academy, specializing in the study of the development and changes of characters. At present, it is mainly divided into two categories: oracle bones and gold and stone. These people make noise from outside the building to the building, and from downstairs to upstairs.  Zhu Ciyi listened intently, and finally understood what they were arguing about, and then felt a violent shock.

    A group of guys who study text actually want to modify it!

    There was a gray-haired scholar who was most excited. His name was Guo Zongchang, and he was a famous epigrapher.  He came to Beijing as a tribute at the age of eighteen, and lived in Beijing for several years before he was alternated as a low-ranking official.  I was really unhappy, so I went back to Shaanxi to study knowledge. Li Zi the identification of oracle bone inscriptions is not bad!  "Xiang Yuanbian agreed with Guo Zongchang's point of view. Suddenly, the two most quarrelsome people joined forces to persuade Weici, who half understood. He only felt that these people were unpredictable.  The scholars here are very powerful. These people passed by Zhu Cizhao, and a young man stopped and asked, "New here?  A little strange.  "

    Wei Ci nodded and said, "He's new here.

    The young man said: "My name is Chang Liuliang, and my name is Zhuang Sheng. I will bother you by borrowing books from now on.

    Zhu Cizhao asked: "Your Excellency is also a scholar of the Imperial Academy?

    Lu Liuliang smiled and said, "Where is my little knowledge enough? I am a graduate student of Jinling University. I am not in school at ordinary times, and I study oracle bone inscriptions with Mr. Guo.

    "So that's the case, disrespect and disrespect." Zhu Cizhao hurriedly handed over Lu Liuliang who was chatting with Zhu Ci here, and he was dizzy from the noise of those people.  What is there to argue about?  There is no way to win or lose now, so it is better to study a few oracle bone inscriptions and use the evidence of oracle bone inscriptions to slap your face in the future.

    While chatting, a young watchman from the Imperial Academy rushed to the library, panting, "Another oracle bone has arrived!

    Everyone ran back quickly, and this time they brought some oracle bones from the three luo baskets, which made Guo Zongchang, Xiang Yuanzhi and others look at each other.  This kind of oracle bone has no tortoise shell, only animal bones and teeth, and the characters are engraved on it. Compared with the previous oracle bone inscriptions, this kind of oracle bone font is more slender, and more primitive and simple. Unfortunately, there is no carbon fourteen detection at this time, otherwise, they  You will know that this kind of oracle bone is 1,200 years earlier than the Yin Ruins oracle bone, probably in the late Longshan culture.

    Two kinds of oracle bones are in the same line. Guo Zongchang held a magnifying glass and said: "This kind of oracle bones must be older, or they were made during the time of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors.

    "It must be so." Xiang Yuanbian nodded.

    Liu Liang suddenly said: "Is the writing really made by Cangjie?

    Everyone was speechless.

    After studying oracle bone inscriptions for a long time, we can be sure that Chinese characters are not created by Cang Yan, but by generations of ancient people who have been constantly creating and developing.  .and put aside thecontroversy,

    Leave it to the outside world for comment, and then I will continue to do research!  "Guo Zongchang first agreed.

    The three brothers Huang Zongxi, Huang Zongyan, and Huang Zonghui are all researchers now.

    Huang Zongxi served as the deputy curator of the Geography Museum of Qintian Academy, and also had research tasks in the Mathematics Museum and Planetarium.  Huang Zongyan is a Ph.D. from the Mathematics Hall of Qintian Academy, and Huang Zonghui is a bachelor from the Cangjie Hall of the Imperial Academy.

    The three of them are called "Three Yellows of the Capital"

    &nbsp; And the sons of these three brothers are all academic masters, and they will definitely be a super academic family in the future.  Graduate spiritual tutors like Lu Liuliang are so busy that they do all the hard work.

    Half a month later, all the academic achievements of the Cangjie Museum in the past two years were placed in front of Qian Qianyi, the director of the Imperial Academy.

    Of course Qian Qianyi knew about the existence of oracle bone inscriptions, but he was too busy and was in the process of editing, and there was still work to be done, so he couldn't care less about a pile of broken bones. At this moment, Qian Qianyi was beyond shocked.  .

    It turns out that writing was not created by Cangjie, but the result of continuous evolution over the past dynasties.  It turns out that the correctness of some of the contents of the article is actually open to question.

    Even through the study of oracle bone inscriptions, I also understood a small amount of the history of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.  Knowing where to start the debate, Qian Qianyi wrote a letter of congratulations to the emperor.  In the article, he flattered the emperor of the mad sun, showing that only the sage king benevolent king, the ancient characters will come out of the ground, so as to complete the context of Chinese history, this is a feat of enlightenment that has never been seen in all dynasties.

    When Zhao Han received Qian Qianyi’s congratulatory letter, he couldn’t help laughing and crying. Then, at the court meeting, scholars from the Cangjie Pavilion told the results in person. Facing all the officials, Guo Zongchang talked eloquently: “The inscriptions on oracle bones are different from contemporary writing, and also different from modern writing.  Inscriptions on gold and stone. However, oracle bone inscriptions, small seal script on gold and stone, official script, and regular script are all inherited in one continuous line. Now there are bones on them, which are more used than those found before to be engraved for scholars or for the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?

    The ministers were shocked, and Guo Zongchang sighed and said: "It's a pity that the oracle bone inscriptions of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors have too little content, and it is difficult to make great discoveries.

    Instead, the officials breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that something would happen to the warehouse.

    Guo Zongchang said:

    "However, all the gentlemen of the Cang'e Pavilion have worked together to sum up the method of identifying oracle bone inscriptions.

    ? The research method, the three-day textual research method and the four-day dismantling method.

    More oracle bone inscriptions will be recognized in the future!  Today's research results are many, and due to space limitations, it is inconvenient to publish them all in the

    Please allow your Majesty to make a separate book, with both pictures and texts, to be printed and published in the world.  Unidentified oracle bone inscriptions can also be expanded and printed in books, and people of insight from all over the world are invited to study together.

    , " Zhao Han nodded and said

    "Let the Si Li Jianjing Factory be in charge of publishing and printing. I will be educated and engraved as a scholar or as the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?

    The ministers were shocked, and Guo Zongchang sighed and said: "It's a pity that the oracle bone inscriptions of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors have too little content, and it is difficult to make great discoveries.

    ,

    In the ninth year of the beginning of the Republic of China, it was 4347 in the Chinese calendar and 1650 in the Western calendar.

    Spring is cold and chilly.

    Hebei scholars Li Jixiu and Zhang Zhaoyong came to Nanjing just after the Lantern Festival, waiting for the first examination in early February.

    They are relatively late, some scholars are afraid of missing the time, so they directly choose to celebrate the New Year in Nanjing.

    The lantern festival will last for ten days, and Li and Zhang still have the opportunity to watch the lanterns.  .

    Although many lanterns have been withdrawn, the rest still excite them.

    Zhang Zhaoyong said with tears in his eyes: "When I was young, I used to watch lanterns with my father and brother in Beijing, and I still remember the magnificent scene. Now that the north is withered,

    The prosperity is long gone, and when we see the Lantern Festival again at this time, it is true that everything is human and everything is not.  "

    "Oh, don't talk about this again." Li Jixiu also thought of the old days.

    Li Jixiu's family is considered a big landlord, with more than 3,000 mu of land.  Not to mention the crowds of servants, at least they were huddled together, but now there is nothing.  The tens of acres of land in the family was allocated by the local government when they fled and returned to their hometown, and they had to cultivate it by themselves for basic food.

    Zhang Zhaoyong squeezed out a smile: "However, Tianjin is still recovering very quickly. The population inside and outside the city has increased day by day in recent years, thanks to His Majesty's organization of immigration."

    "Who says it's not?" Li Jixiu said, "Brother Yu's Pingle Town had a population of less than a thousand at the beginning, but last year there were two or three thousand people. Some came from the mountains, and the rest were immigrants from the south. My little brother, last year  I've also made a marriage, a girl from the south. Although it's just an ordinary farmer, I have attended elementary school for three years, and I'm sure I'll be able to educate my children well in the future."

    While they were talking, a group of young people came shoulder to shoulder and sang songs drunkenly.

    Zhang Zhaoyong said: "Brother, look at the jade pendants around their waists. They are all students of Jinling University."

    "These young people were born at a good time and have a good future." Li Jixiu couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

    The jade pendant on the waist of a bachelor is similar to the role of the school badge.

    What's more, it's not any serious and beautiful jade, but all medicine jade, that is, stained glass.  In the early Ming Dynasty, it was very valuable, and it was found on officials' court clothes. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, it was not very valuable, and officials secretly replaced it with real jade.

    Now even less valuable, basically a by-product of making clear glass.

    Zhang Zhaoyong said: "This Jinling University is similar to the Guozijian in the former Ming Dynasty. I heard that the students are very strict in normal times. These students go through the market drunk, and it is estimated that the class has not started in the next year, and they return to school early to play around. Alas, all the southern provinces  If there is a university, when will I be able to have it in Hebei?"

    Li Jixiu smiled and said: "At least there must be a middle school, otherwise how will the universities in Hebei enroll students? I guess it is because of this that His Majesty reopened the imperial examination to give northern scholars a way and prevent southerners from monopolizing the imperial court."

    "That's how it is, Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Zhaoyong also laughed.

    The next day, the two went to the bookstore together.

    But I saw a group of college students who hadn't started classes yet, and many scholars rushing to take the exam, arguing fiercely around the bookshelf.

    Just arrived a new book, called "Oracle Bone Research and Debate".

    Perhaps it is too rare, fearing that the sales volume will not be good, and the number of publications is not large. This bookstore only buys three copies.

    Some scholars have been staring at new books for a long time, and they will open them even if they are out of the way, and then cause a sensation.

    The preface of this book is written by the emperor himself, and there are roughly three points of content: first, the origin of Daoming oracle bones is that farmers in Henan discovered oracle bones, and local officials presented them to the emperor;  , if it causes controversy, all sectors of society should not blindly criticize it; third, the formation of Chinese characters may not be the work of one person, and Cangjie may be a specific official position in ancient times.

    The first ten or so pages are all oracle bone rubbings, which were printed by craftsmen.  Although not every piece of these selected oracle bones could be fully recognized, at least 60% of the characters were recognized.

    Next, it is the oracle bone inscription identification method summarized by the Cangjie Museum, and then it is paired with specific examples of oracle bone inscriptions, and accompanied by the corresponding Zhong Dingwen,

    Large and small seal script, official script and regular script.  From ancient times to the present, the development of a character is clearly placed in front of readers.

    "Haha, look at the word 'elephant', the oracle bone inscription is really an elephant, even the trunk and tail are clearly drawn."

    "Have you ever seen an elephant?"

    "Why haven't I seen it? I have it in my hometown, and I'm from Yunnan!"

    "Do elephants really have such long trunks?"

    "The nose is very long. If you have seen an elephant with your own eyes, you will know that it is exactly the same as this oracle bone inscription. After studying it in the Cangjie Museum, everything is clear. Today's 'elephant', the top two strokes are the nose of an elephant.  Derived. The word '日' horizontally in the middle.bsp; "In this way, the Spanish are all bandits." Li Jixiu said.

    Zhang Zhaoyong continued to look down, and soon exclaimed: "The emperor of India at this time is actually a descendant of the Mongols.""

    India is Tianzhu, Tianzhu is India, the transliteration is different.

    Li Jixiu said: "Genghis Khan swept the world, and the Mongols are naturally everywhere."

    Zhang Zhaoyong said: "The founding monarchs of the Mughal Kingdom in India today and the Yeerqiang Kingdom in the Western Regions are a pair of cousins. They were defeated by the Uzbek Khanate, and the cousin took a thousand remnants of soldiers and went south to establish the Mughals of India.  country, my cousin took more than a thousand remnants of soldiers and ran eastward to establish the Yeerqiang Kingdom in the Western Regions.

    Li Jixiu asked in surprise: "Is Tianzhu so weak? Can a thousand remnant soldiers establish a country there?"

    Zhang Zhaoyong said with a smile: "If my Datong Heavenly Soldiers go to India, I'm afraid I can establish another country outside the region."

    These two traditional scholars, after reading for more than half a month in the library of Qintianyuan, their eyes were completely opened, and their worldview was almost reshaped.

 Text 667 [Palace Examination]

    ,

    This year's test, the number of people is particularly large!

    Previous graduates of universities in various provinces are also eligible to participate.  This is a special case of the re-opening of the imperial examination. Future university graduates are only allowed to take the examination once—if they fail to pass the Jinshi examination, they will either go to become a ninth-rank official (Nanjing University can be released from the eighth rank), or go to the postgraduate entrance examination  , or fend for yourself.

    Zhao Han's idea of ??public examination at the beginning was compromised with reality after all.

    ? Government offices in various places organize their own public examinations, which will inevitably cause many problems.  This has been proven. Today's low-level civil servant examination is equivalent to the low-level civil servant examination, and many people who go through the back door are found every year.  .

    In this case, it is better to continue the imperial examination system and be compatible with the public school system.

    The selection system for officials at all levels is roughly as follows:

    The government organizes primary school graduation examinations. Primary school students who successfully graduate can take the civil service examination in the county. Those who pass the examination can become county and town officials after observing politics.

    The province organizes the middle school graduation examination, and the middle school students who have successfully graduated, and the outstanding ones can go to university at public expense.  Among them, the three best in the province are studying at Jinling University at public expense.  The rest of the outstanding ones will go to universities in the province at public expense.  Those who cannot afford public funding can go to university at their own expense.

    ? Middle school graduates who have not been able to go to university can take the civil service examination in the province or the government.

    County and town officials, because of their political achievements, can even be transferred to minor officials of the eighth or ninth rank.  However, with the improvement of the bureaucratic system in the future, the eighth and ninth rank petty officials are likely to be the limit for the promotion of petty officials. Only those with super ability can cross the threshold of the seventh rank magistrate.

    If you are a student at public expense, as long as you can get a university diploma and you are willing to be an official, you will have a ninth-rank official position.

    ?University graduates from all provinces, whether they are public-funded students or self-funded students, have one chance to take part in the examination.

    Even if public-funded students are not admitted, local universities can also release the ninth rank, and Jinling University can release the eighth rank.  Because even if you are a loser,

    They are all one in a million, and their gold content is higher than that of Juren in Ming Dynasty.

    Let's put it this way, except for minority students and international students, Jinling University enrolls only three public-funded students each year. First-class northern middle school education is popularized, and the number will definitely increase.  And there are only forty-five publicly-funded students in universities in each province (depending on the number of states and counties) every year.

    At this time, there are only a few provinces with universities. Including Jinling University, there are less than 300 university graduates each year at public expense.  In the Ming Dynasty, the general examination was held every three years, and each session admitted about 300 to 400 people, and at least the seventh-rank officials would be released.

    Under Zhao Han’s administration, there were about 90 publicly funded college students in three years. Those who failed to pass the exam were ranked eighth or ninth grade, but those who passed the exam were also the highest grade eighth grade. The number was even smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty.

    Of course, self-funded university graduates have to take the exam well.  If you are not admitted by the examination, you will not be qualified to be an official, and you can only take the public examination for officials at the provincial government level.

    North Korean students like Cui Wenxiu are also regarded as self-supporting students.

    He was born in a wealthy Korean family, but after studying in Nanjing, he never wanted to go back.  In order to be able to stay, he studied hard without sleeping and eating, and finally got a university diploma, and he is currently the only foreign student who can graduate.  But you have to pass the test to be admitted before you can stay as an official, otherwise you can only be a Beijing drifter in Nanjing.

    After verifying her identity, Cui Wenxiu went into the inspection room and took off her clothes. Even her underwear was carefully checked to prevent any information related to the exam.

    After finally entering the examination room, Cui Wenxiu was nervous and excited.

    ? This session of the exam still uses two sets of exam questions.

    As an international student, Cui Wenxiu took the new-style education paper.  Confucian classics (four books and five classics) and Datong theory are tested in the morning, and mathematics and physics are tested in the afternoon.  Next, there are exams for astronomy, geography, law, official documents, water conservancy, farming, etc. There are a total of two days for the exam.

    ?Because of the different majors of the university, the test questions can be chosen, just like the scholars in the previous dynasty selected the Five Classics.  However, Confucian classics, Mathematics, Kumon and Datong theory are compulsory for students no matter what major they major in.

    While Cui Wenxiu was nervously doing the questions, Li Jixiu and Zhang Zhaoyong were also answering traditional education papers.

    Li Jixiu feels that the exam questions are even more difficult. Even if he has studied mathematics and physics after the local exam, he is still blind when he encounters them at this time.  The difficulty of the exam is infinitely close to that of the provincial secondary school graduation exams.

    It's dead, it's dead, Li Jixiu's eyes dimmed.

    After the two-day general examination, it was time for marking papers.

    The new-style education papers are divided into liberal arts and sciences, and there will be no divisions.  In the old days, the education papers were still divided into the Five Classics Room for reviewing the papers. Anyway, there were only so many people, and it was gradually cancelled.It is not easy for people.  In today's world, if you sail across the sea, you can travel hundreds of thousands of miles, and you can reach it in a few years."

    "For example, Spain, a small European country, colonized America, captured the natives as slaves, and seized countless gold and silver. It is also like the Netherlands, a state of Quer, governed by business, and ruled the world"

    "I, Huaxia China, is a country of etiquette. I am not the same as the barbarians. However, we must not think forever, close our doors to nine states and be arrogant, and we should govern the world. Zhou Tianzi divided the princes, and the princes turned the barbarians into citizens. The ancient Dongyi  , Xidi, Nanman, and Beirong are all Chinese people today."

    "Foreign countries outside the territory, those who refuse to accept the king's transformation should be educated. Go to Zai Xingshi, abolish the Ryukyu country and set up the county, and the ministers know your majesty's heart. This country's monarchs and ministers are obedient and vicious. They bully the Holy Lord and disable the people.  China should be crusaded and benevolent to its people. This is also an act of benevolence and righteousness. After a hundred years, the people of Ryukyu will be like the barbarians in ancient times, and they will become our Chinese people because of their enlightenment"

    Zhang Shouyue was educated at the age of five. He studied in a private school for several years, and then went to elementary school, middle school, and university.  In addition, I was born on the coast of Guangdong, and I have heard about overseas affairs for a long time, and now I often read newspapers to understand national policies.  His train of thought was actually highly consistent with Zhao Han's.

    (A few days ago, I had gout, and my hands and feet hurt when I move. Alas, from now on, I can’t drink beer, broth, seafood, offal, soy products, and even crayfish. I feel that life has lost its meaning.)

 Text 668 [No. 1 Scholar]

    In the imperial examinations and imperial examinations, except for the officials of the Ministry of Rites, everyone can participate in the evaluation of the examination papers.

    "Your Majesty, here are the first ten papers of this imperial examination." Pang Chunlai squinted, with a pair of glasses hanging on his chest, and handed the answer papers to the female officer with a trembling forehead.

    The female officer forwarded it to Zhao Han and handed it over to the emperor for his own inspection.

    The palace examination papers belong to the ink volumes, that is, the original papers answered by candidates, and are not copied into ink volumes like the general examination.  .  If the examinee's handwriting is recognized, and there are elders who are the masters of marking, they can easily cheat.

    Therefore, in the traditional palace examination, those with nepotism need to avoid suspicion.

    ? Yang Tinghe did not avoid suspicion back then, and participated in the scoring as the chief assistant. As a result, his son Yang Shen won the first prize, and has been complained and questioned for hundreds of years.

    Zhao Han only scanned a few lines of the paper for the first place, and he knew it must be a scholar on the old list.

    The articles written by scholars on the new list are more straightforward, and often have an irresistible spirit.

    However, the old list of scholars, the writing style is more complicated, focusing on righteousness and reason, more than calm but not aggressive.

    ?The policy theory in front of me is full of quotations and classics, which is mature and prudent.  From ancient times until now,

    It is estimated that I usually read newspapers and discuss the situation in overseas countries.  Its core point of view is the debate between Hua and Barbarians, saying that while opening up sea trade, it cannot be influenced by foreign countries and barbarians.

    There should be a total ban on European religions.  In addition, in overseas Han Chinese settlements, local Han Chinese should be encouraged to open schools.

    He has literary talent, standpoint, and vision, and the reasoning is correct. No wonder he was rated as the number one by the cabinet ministers.

    The paper for the second place is probably from the Xinbang scholars.

    Let’s talk about the importance of finance first, and say that it was because of lack of money that Daming fell into an endless cycle of peasant uprisings that became more and more suppressed.  It also talks about the past dynasties, and the collapse of the dynasty is often accompanied by financial collapse.

    Let’s talk about the European colonists again, saying that Spain, the Netherlands and other countries were driven by interests to colonize across the sea.

    Therefore, this examinee emphasized that one must never shut up and lock the sea.  For the benefits of trade across the seas, if the European barbarians increase by one point, Datong China will lose one point.  The emperor has sent troops to control Ryukyu, Taiwan, Luzon and Guangnan, and then Batavia and Malacca must be captured.

    He also said that while focusing on maritime trade, the Silk Road cannot be ignored.  When the population in the north is sufficient, it should follow the example of the Han and Tang Dynasties and seize control of the Western Regions.  Once the Western Regions are controlled, not only will they be able to obtain profits from land trade, but they will also be able to cut off the foreign trade routes of the Mongolian grasslands, which will do no harm to the control of the Mongolians.

    This candidate also delineated the sphere of influence for China in the future, that is, the east of Malacca and the east of the Seven Rivers Basin must be under the control of the Chinese court.

    "Okay, have vision!"

    Zhao Han was overjoyed, and drew a circle on the answer sheet with a pen.

    The third answer sheet was written with majestic momentum, and the style of writing can be called majestic.  Unfortunately, it was all correct nonsense, so Zhao Han threw it aside.

    The first test paper for keeping the promise was not ranked in the top ten at all, and Zhao Han quickly browsed to the twenty-first one before meeting it.

    All the ministers were a little apprehensive, because the emperor didn't give them face at all.

    According to the palace examination rules of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor generally would not change the rankings selected by the cabinet ministers.  Even if it is changed, it is still from the top three, five, or top ten, and the one you like will be the champion.

    The emperor himself read dozens of answer sheets, expressing his distrust of the ministers.

    Two hundred papers are too many.

    Zhao Han basically browsed quickly, and only read carefully when he found something he liked. He personally read the first 80 or so copies.

    He put together several of the best articles and compared them repeatedly, and finally the imperial pen circled the top three,

    He said happily: "Let's dismantle the list of names and titles here."

    This is an errand for the emergency room.

    In addition to being familiar with politics, the officials of the Zhifangfang must also have excellent calligraphy and excellent writing skills. After all, they are the ones who usually write imperial edicts.

    Today, the chief official of the Zhifangfang is Yuan Jixian, a native of Yichun, Jiangxi.  He served as an envoy to promote education in Shanxi at the highest level in the Ming Dynasty. Fu Qingzhu was his student, and he also helped Wang Tiaoding escort Chongzhen's children to the south.

    Yuan Jixian unraveled the vague names on the answer sheet, and at the same time announced to the ministers one by one the champion: Li Kaiji, from Luling, Jiangxi.

    Second place: Zhang Shouyue, from Nanhai, Guangdong.

    Tanhua: Shen Wei, from Yiyang, Hunan.

    All southern scholars who received traditional education and received new education, the average age is only 21 years old.  Two graduated from Jinling University, and one graduated from Guangzhou University.

    The imperial examination is not about learning, but about vision and thinking. It is about how well they work with the emperor or ministers. It’s not just about learning.p; His Majesty the Emperor is still alive, and the family dare not set up a god for the Emperor.  On the first day of every month, the old mother,

    Will go to the mountains on the outskirts of the county, go to the Temple of Heroes to offer incense to the martyrs, and at the same time thank His Majesty the Emperor for his grace of regeneration.

    The old mother often said: "Third son, how can our family afford your majesty's kindness? You should study well, and then become an official and do good work for your majesty."

    Just as Li Kaiji recalled the past, a classmate shouted from downstairs: "Lao Li, Lao Li, come down to pick up the guests!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Then came the sound of crackling firecrackers.

    The inn clerk held up firecrackers and set off firecrackers, while the shopkeeper shouted with a smile on his face: "Today's room rate and food will be discounted by 20%! Xinke Zhuangyuan will live in our store! Whoever comes to stay in the inn in the future will be rewarded with Wenquxing."  The joy. The children live in the inn, all of them are smart. The scholars live in the inn, and all the high school emperors! I will give the owner a suggestion to change the name of the inn to Zhuangyuan Building! Spend money!"

    "good!"

    The shop assistants threw copper coins all over the floor, and passers-by frantically scrambled for them.

    It's not for grabbing money, after all, no matter how dexterous your hands and feet are, you can still grab an extra three or five pennies, it's purely for the extravagance of Wenquxing.

    Form matters.

    The significance of restoring the imperial examination is not only to regulate the selection of officials, but also another symbol in the hearts of ordinary people.

    (); All the two hundred Xinke Jinshi received white official uniforms. The clothes have no grades, and they have to be returned after wearing them.

    The main gate of the Forbidden City, which is only opened two or three times a year, is also opened exclusively for Jinshi.  Guards of honor, ceremonies and music are the highest level, and are only used on the emperor's ascension to the throne, wedding, birthday, triumph, and New Year's Day.

    Li Kaiji, as the No. 1 scholar, led the way at the forefront.

    The cannons at the Meridian Gate sounded, and the music played again.  .

    Civil and military officials all enter through the two side doors, but the new division Jinshi can go directly through the Meridian Gate.  Usually, only the emperor can go through the Meridian Gate.

    The queen must get married before she can walk through the Meridian Gate.

    The majestic palace, the solemn music, the majestic guard of honor, and the extra-standard treatment made the blood of these two hundred Jinshi boil, and the pride of the proud son of heaven arose spontaneously.

    Cui Wenxiu burst into tears instantly. He will never go back to North Korea, and will stay in China to repay the emperor's kindness.  In order to show his loyalty and make him stand out quickly, he has already decided what to do: he will go to the imperial court and take back the territory south of the Yalu River.

    Best of all, if Datong China can annex North Korea, then you will be completely Chinese and will not be discriminated against by your colleagues because of your origin.

    Sun Chengen was also very excited, trembling all over.  The emperor has not opened the imperial examination for a long time?  The emperor divided his family's property?  The emperor forcibly separated his family and moved him to Shandong?  That is His Majesty's policy of administration, Sun Cheng'en will not complain anymore, with En Rong in his body today, everything he has paid in the past is worth it.

    After crossing the bridge, two hundred Jinshi waited in the square.

    "The emperor ascends to the palace!"

    "Hundreds of officials enter the court!"

    The music sounded again, and the officials were divided into two lines and lined up into Chengtian Hall.

    I don't know what was said in it, and after a while, Chen Maosheng walked out of the hall.  Standing behind Dan Bi, holding a passer-by in his hand, he glanced at these scholars.

    Zhang Dai, Minister of the Honghe Temple, hurried up to Chen Maosheng, and bent to touch the sticker.

    Then, Zhang Dai walked down the steps: "Emperor Fengtian Yingmin, the rule of the day: the ninth year of the first year of the Republic of China, March 15th, to test the tribute scholars of the world. The first class is awarded Jinshi and rank, the second class is awarded Jinshi's background, and the third class is awarded Jinshi.  Jiaci is from the same background as Jinshi. Tanhua Shenwei!"

    Shen Wei walked out of the queue. The traditional rule is to kneel in front, but now he just needs to stand there.

    Zhang Dai shouted again: "No. 2 Zhang Shouyue!"

    Zhang Shouyue also stepped forward immediately.

    Zhang Dai shouted again: "No. 1 Scholar Li Kaiji!"

    Li Kaiji walked forward even more, until he stood in front of Dan Bi's champion, taking the meaning of the number one scholar "to be the champion".

    Zhang Dai continued to shout: "Wang Zunxun, the first in the second class.

    It took a while for Chuanlu to complete the roll call, and the music changed again. This time, it was Zhonghe Shaoyue, which was specially played for the new scholars.

    "Le Bi!"

    "A guard of honor!"

    The female officials and the guards of the imperial city held up the umbrella guard of honor and guided the Jinshi to the main hall.  Originally, I went directly to Donghuamen, but the emperor wanted to give a lecture temporarily,

    So he brought them into the temple and talked about it.

    "See Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

    Li Kaiji was so excited that he forgot the Book of Rites and knelt down to the emperor, and the Jinshi behind him also knelt down.

    Zhao Han said: "Get up and talk."

    All Jinshi Xie Enping died.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "The Jinshi in the previous dynasty were at least seven-rank magistrates, and those who were retained as eighth-rank officials were also pedestrians. Now you are admitted as Jinshi, but you are only allowed to be eighth or ninth rank. Some people say that I treat new division Jinshi too lightly.  Do you have resentment in your heart?"

    "I dare not!" All Jinshi shouted in unison.

    Zhao Han said: "A fierce general must be sent from the army, and a prime minister must be raised from the state department. Why? Those who have never been officers and soldiers at the grassroots level do not know what small soldiers think.  What are you looking for. In the early Ming Dynasty, ten years of hard study, and once released to the county magistrate,

    Do you really know how to be an official and rule the people?  "

    Zhao Han swept down, slapped the seat, and said emphatically, "They know what a fart!"

    The officials and Jinshi all looked at Zhao Han in surprise. The emperor actually swears on a formal occasion.

    Zhao Han continued: "Those magistrates in the Ming Dynasty, let alone governing the villages, they couldn't even manage the county government. When they take office immediately, they have to hire a master.

    Everything needs to be decided by the master.  Officials filled their pockets, masters plundered places, and petty officials lied to each other. This is how the Ming Dynasty was corrupted!  &quot;

    "If you are an official under me, you are not allowed to hire a master. Since the master can govern politics, why notbsp;Mao Bijiang stood in the private room of the restaurant, watched the bustle outside through the window, and muttered to himself: "The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day. Alas, time is also fate!"

    We think too much.  "Wu Weiye said.

    Both of them came from rich families, and their talents spread far and wide. They couldn't afford to be petty officials, otherwise they would have been promoted to rank officials long ago.  After coming to Nanjing, although he was more talented, he has been waiting for the imperial examination to become an official.

    Who would have thought that the emperor restored the imperial examinations, but set an upper age limit for traditional scholars.

    The two of them are not even qualified to take the imperial examination at their age!

    ? Now looking at the Xinke Scholars with hairpins parading the streets, saying that they are not envious or jealous is purely deceiving. At this moment, I wish I was the one riding the horse.

    Cui Wenxiu was riding a tall horse, and wherever he could see, there were crowds of people, all of whom seemed to be cheering for him.  What a prosperous capital, what a great glory, he is even more determined to go to Shu, and he must ask the emperor to annex North Korea, so that he can be a 100% Chinese.

    The ranks of Jinshi parading hairpin flowers even went to the Qinhuai River.

    Proceeding along the riverside street, the windows of the attics on the street opened one after another.  The girls waved their handkerchiefs, laughing and shouting without hesitation, some simply threw down the champagne, and some excitedly threw fruit at the Jinshi.

    "Come on, Xinke Jinshi was knocked out by the fruit!"

    "No heavy objects allowed!"

    **** &lt;/div&gt

 Text 670 [In the name of filial piety, foot binding is prohibited]

    "Xin Ke Jinshi was knocked unconscious by the fruit?" Zhao Han couldn't help laughing.

    Song Yingxing said: "It's not that he was knocked unconscious by the fruit, but fell off the horse in shock and fell on the ground."

    Zhao Han asked: "Is there any serious problem?"

    Song Yingxing said: "It's all right.

    After the resumption of the imperial examination, the minds of the scholars are settled, even though many of them are not qualified to take the exam.  But you can educate your children. The gentry, wealthy businessmen, and wealthy businessmen are all crazy about spending money to train their offspring.  ·

    People all over the country have also adapted to the new education system and official selection methods.

    In their minds, elementary school is the former social school, primary school graduates correspond to children, middle school is the former county school, and middle school graduates correspond to scholars.  Universities are Fuxue and Guozijian, and university graduates correspond to Juren.

    The selection of officials is the same as before, except that it starts from the eighth and ninth grades,

    ?Officials are selected and appointed, they must be Tongsheng or Juren, and they must take a public examination before they can take up the post.  Literary officials and soap officials, regardless of their superiority or inferiority, can be promoted upwards, and they can even be officials.

    Seems like a small change, but it is actually very important.

    The decline in the rank of Jinshi sent to the outside world can make officials more capable of governing. The diploma and examination requirements of officials have broken the control of the local family by the family of small officials, making it easier for the chief official to govern, and also strengthened the court's control over the local government.  control,

    The price is the increase in administrative costs!

    Many officials in the Ming Dynasty were not paid by the government. They made a living by corrupting the law and exploiting the people. Now they all need the government to pay their salaries, which is equivalent to adding to the salary expenditure of countless civil servants.

    In addition, each county has many primary schools, and the expenditure on grassroots education is also very large. Some poor counties have complained to their superiors about their poverty.

    Li Banghua said: "At the county level, 10% of the tax should be given to the local area. Especially in poor counties with poor business and mountainous areas, rural primary schools and county and town officials have already appeared in arrears. In some places, they have  I have been in arrears for several years, and only pay three to five solid monthly salary every year. In this case,

    It was reported by the inspectors of the clean government, and the local governments at all levels did not report to the higher authorities.  "

    Zhao Han also read the report of the Inspector of Integrity, and agreed: "Then give the local government an extra 10% of taxes."

    Zhao Han took out another secret report, which was sent by Liaodong Secret Works, and bypassed the court and delivered it directly to the emperor: "Dor Shuan and Dai Shan are dead."

    Pang Chunlai opened his eyes suddenly: "Infighting?

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Last winter, Daishan and Dorgon died of illness one after another. At the time when the puppet empress dowager and Daishan were fighting fiercely, the two suddenly died of illness, which made Man Dahai terrified and led his troops out to Hun  River City has become independent, of course, Mandahai did not openly rebel, but only listened to the puppet Qing court and did not listen to the propaganda."

    The actual control territory of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is already very small, and it is still divided into two.

    Pang Chun said: "Your Majesty, you can use troops in the Northeast."

    Zhao Han said: "Let all the ministries in Liaoning prepare for the expedition as soon as the rainy season is over."

    ?It is still March, and it will take time to send the order to Liaoning, and it will take time to transport the military rations to Liaoning. It takes half a year to prepare for the expedition.

    Pang Chunlai also said: "When the Tartars are destroyed, please allow the veterans to retire."

    Zhao Han thought for a while, nodded and said, "At that time, I will send someone to escort the teacher back to his hometown."

    Pang Chunlai has not been in good health for the past two years, and he really wants to go back to Liaodong to enjoy his old age.  Although the bitter cold in Liaodong is not a place for the elderly, but after being away from home for many years, the dream is to return to the roots.

    Li Banghua then said: "Your Majesty, I am old and frail. After wiping out my son, I also request to return to my hometown."

    "Mr. Li is growing old and strong, please spare no effort." Zhao Han symbolically persuaded him to stay.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your respect." Li Banghua planned to ask three times and resign.

    Firstly, he is really old, he is 76 years old this year, secondly, he knows the emperor's mind, Pang Chunlai's stay is to check and balance the senior officials from Jiangxi.  Pang Chun came and left.  He, Li Banghua, had better follow suit

    A few days after the Qionglin Banquet was over, the Shu Jishi's examination began.  Among the 197 Jinshi in the second and third grades, 15 were selected. They first went to the cabinet to observe politics and familiarize themselves with the situation, and then became relatively low-level Zhongshu Sheren, that is, ordinary clerical staff in the cabinet.

    In the future, all Zhongshu Sheren will be champions, second places, Tanhua and Shujishi. Let them be familiar with state affairs, and then they will be sent to other places as deputy county officials, and they will be promoted back to the central court step by step.

    This is very different from the Ming Dynasty. This group of top Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty was directly thrown into the Imperial Academy.  The first and third are those who compile books, read history, assist the cabinet or organize government affairs, and give lectures to the emperor and prince.??, Greet Your Majesty!  Mao Fan clasped his hands, very excited. Unexpectedly, he was summoned because he asked for a ban on foot binding.

    Zhao Han asked: "Are you from Zhejiang?

    Mao Fan replied: "Your Majesty, I am a native of Jiashan County, Jiaxing Prefecture. He graduated from Hangzhou University and ranked 16th among the top three in this subject."

    Zhao Han suddenly smiled, he likes the scholars cultivated by the new education: "A lot of women in Jiashan have their feet bound?

    Mao Fan replied carefully: "Jiashan County is located between Jiaxing Prefecture and Songjiang Prefecture.  Prosperity, and many people who become rich because of business, those who become rich,

    Just imitate the gentry to bind their daughter's feet, and regard it as an upper-class tutor to abide by, "

    Well, too much money is causing trouble.

    Mao Fan continued: "I don't know where it came from, but the binding of feet is getting tighter and tighter. These rich merchants are extremely face-saving. They think that the smaller the binding of their daughters, the more authentic they are, so they learn the new foot-binding method one after another.  A bound woman appeared in the county town, and a rich family paid a lot of money to bind her daughter's feet. I once saw with my own eyes that a young girl of a classmate was bound so that the bones of her feet were completely dislocated, and her feet were red, swollen and pus-filled.  Showing off his strict family education and elegant family background."quot;

    "It's really hateful!" Zhao Han said angrily.

    Mao Fan said: "Foot binding is an elegant thing. Everyone loves golden lotus feet, but if they are bound to the bone, it will not only spoil the scenery, but also make people hate it!

    The mainstream foot-binding method in the Ming Dynasty was divided into two schools, the North and the South.

    In northern foot binding, you don’t even need to bend your toes, just wrap them more slender. In southern foot binding, you need to buckle your four toes inwards, which is slightly deformed, but it still won’t hurt your body.

    The entanglement method that hurts the muscles and bones began in the late Ming Dynasty and spread widely in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

    Zhao Han asked: "What reason do you think should be used to prohibit women's footbinding?"

    Mao Fan said: "It hurts the peace of heaven,"

    ? Zhao Han shook his head: "Haven't you read it? The body is hairy and skinned, and it is the parents who dare not hurt it. This is the beginning of filial piety, Mr. Xiang!"

    "The minister is here," Li Xiangjun stepped forward.

    Zhao Han said: "Women who intend to bind their feet to the point of damaging their bodies will be regarded as unfilial daughters. They cannot study, become officials, or marry officials! Their husbands are not allowed to obtain a franchise license. Once found, they will be taken back immediately!"

    Zhao Han likes to use magic to defeat magic. He is very comfortable with Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism, and he is also very comfortable with Confucian classics.

    Having said that, of course those who bind their feet are unfilial daughters, even if their parents allow it.

    Nowadays, foot binding is still limited to wealthy families. Once bound women are not allowed to study, become officials, marry officials, or even marry businessmen with franchise rights, look at those bastard fathers who dare to bind their daughters' feet!

    Moreover, it is difficult for them to marry if they are labeled as unfilial daughters.

    ? As for the women whose feet have been disabled due to foot binding, it is very embarrassing, so I can only live with them, but fortunately there are not many of them at this time.

    ?

 Text 671 [The Prestige of the Emperor’s Order]

    ?Hangzhou, Jiaxing Prefecture, Jiashan County.

    ?The county magistrate Chen Yaohui convened a meeting of officials. The people attending the meeting included the county magistrate, the history of the classics, the chiefs of various departments,

    Judicial system officials.

    Chen Yaohui took the official document issued by the court and said: "Your Majesty promulgated the "Prohibition of Foot-Binding Order". I have had dozens of copies copied. Take it and have a look."

    After the official document was issued, the head of the business department would ask: "It is clearly written in the "Prohibition of Foot-Binding Order", which only prohibits foot-binding that hurts muscles and bones. But how can we tell whether there is damage? Do women have to take off their shoes to see?"

    The county magistrate Zhu Honggang smiled and said: "The fourth line on the third page of the official document, bow shoes are also banned! The court has already written it clearly

    "So that's the case, Zhu Cheng is really careful." All the officials immediately flattered him.

    The imperial decree that Zhao Han asked Li Xiangjun to draw up was only a draft, and it had to be handed over to the cabinet and imperial imperial chamber for polishing.  The cabinet will supplement the details, and even convene officials to discuss, and then hand it over to Zhao Han for review.

    When the "Prohibition of Footbinding Order" was implemented, there were two key words: one was filial piety, and the other was bow shoes.

    "Filial piety" is the theoretical and moral basis for prohibiting foot-binding and harming the body, while "bow shoes" is the core of the specific implementation of prohibiting foot-binding.

    Not only women's feet are bound, but men's feet are also bound, but they are wrapped in foot wraps.  Regardless of men and women, an important reason for foot binding is to look better, because the uppers of ancient shoes are soft, and it is easy to look thick and flat when worn out.

    The imperial court can only ban foot-binding methods that damage the body, and it is impossible to ban normal foot-binding methods.

    How to tell the difference?

    It depends on what kind of shoes you are wearing. Most women with bound feet wear bow shoes.  As for the way of foot binding that damages the body, you will wear the kind of pointed and small bow shoes, which can be recognized at a glance.

    Chen Yaohai, the magistrate of the county, said: "Most of the deformed foot-bound people are gentry and wealthy businessmen in the county. You can't just let their daughters not get married, otherwise they will definitely cause trouble. It is said in the official document that you just need to let go of the feet and let the damaged toes slowly recover.  , is also a way to compensate for filial piety. After the little feet recover, unfilial daughters are filial daughters. Therefore,

    The key is to put your feet down!  "

    At this time, it was not the situation in the late Qing Dynasty, when the countryside was full of little feet.  The "Prohibition of Foot-Binding Order" is aimed at the daughters of gentry and wealthy businessmen. If there is no reason for "damaging filial piety" and severe punishment, these gentry and wealthy businessmen will have a way to fool them.

    However, specific implementation needs to pay attention to methods, and it will be smoother to change the prohibition of foot binding into the prohibition of bowed shoes.

    ? Foot binding is for the sake of face of men, and women are not allowed to wear bow shoes, so why do they still bind their feet?  At most, you can keep it at home and watch it yourself. Do you think men like to look at red, swollen and pus-feeding feet?

    Chen Yaohui said: "Women's feet begin to bind at the youngest age of four or five, and these girls have not yet gone to school.

    Lao Zhu and I, as well as the chiefs of various departments, visited the gentry's home in person.  The rest was arranged by Yang Dianshi, who went to visit schools in the whole county, and all girls had to check their slippers.  Remember, all the doctors in the county are called together, and they have to be treated after the feet are released.  "

    "Obey!" The officials stood up in unison.

    It has to be said that although there are many corruption cases in various places, as long as the emperor issues an order, the local officials will complete it quickly, and the administrative efficiency of the government is surprisingly high.

    This comes from the authority of the founding emperor!

    The next day, Chen Yaohai, the magistrate of the county, took a doctor and two small officials from the county government to visit Sun Dongqing, the richest man in the county. There is no doubt that, as the richest man in the county, Sun Dongqing already knew the purpose of coming to the county, and an official sent someone last night  Of course, it is necessary to pretend that you should pretend, Sun Dongqing bowed and said: "The county lord has come to the humble house, and the grassroots are terrified!"

    "Mr. Sun is humble." Chen Yaohui followed suit.

    While talking nonsense, he led the magistrate into the inner hall.

    After sitting down, Chen Yaohui said directly: "Your Majesty has a decree that foot binding is forbidden to hurt the body. Mr. Sun, please call all the female family members. Regardless of age, all women come."

    Not long after, all the women of the Sun family were present, even Sun Dongqing's old mother was brought along.

    Chen Yaohui took a glance, but no one was wearing bow shoes.  He was convinced that the news had been leaked, he was slightly angry, and said with a smile on his face:

    "All slippers!"

    Sun Dongqing's expression changed immediately, and she hurriedly said: "How can a woman's feet be seen by outsiders at will?"

    The old lady of the Sun family even beat the ground with a cane, and angrily said: "Chen Zhixian, you are also a parent official, are you here to humiliate the old man today?"

    Chen Yaohui sneered and said: "If you don't take off your shoes, then the official will leave. You can handle the crime of resisting the order and not obeying the order."

    The entire Sun family fell silent.

    The emperor's life is ruthless,Burn incense in the temple.  "

    A patrolman scolded: "All the sedan chairs are inspected, His Majesty has ordered that no foot binding be allowed to injure the body, and bow shoes are no longer allowed!

    If you disobey the emperor's order, you know what will happen!  "

    The girls of the noble family who were impatient at first did not dare to have any dissatisfaction when they heard the word "Emperor's Order", and obediently left the sedan chair and stood there.

    Of the five female relatives, four wear bow shoes, and only one is normal shoes.

    The patrolman pointed to the four bow shoes: "Compromise, remove socks, check feet!"

    The female relatives felt insulted, and they didn't speak or move, just stood there with a cold face.

    The patrolman said: "Take them to the prison and let their husbands come and inspect the slippers in person. If they are found to be violating the order, those whose husbands are officials will lose their jobs, those who do business will have their licenses cancelled, and those without licenses will be taxed heavily!"

    The female relatives were terrified, but they didn't want to take off their shoes in the street because of their face.

    The long follower came over, handed out the silver dollar quietly, and said in a low voice: "You two military masters, hold your hands high, and please accept a little trick."

    The two patrolmen swallowed their saliva, hesitated for a few seconds, took the silver dollar calmly, and warned: "You go home immediately, and don't go out of the city to offer incense. This time is really the emperor's order. The county magistrate is watching closely. After returning home,  If you have bound feet, let them go quickly. Also, you are not allowed to wear bow shoes from now on, if you wear them, it will bring bad luck to your family."

    A female relative wearing bow shoes said angrily: "Why don't you let them wear them? The emperor rules the world, and women also care about foot binding? I just bound my feet and didn't hurt my body!"

    This woman is really ordinary foot-binding, even the northern style of foot-binding, except for her slender feet, she can't see any abnormalities.

    There are also many types of bow shoes, most of which are not harmful to the body, and even men's shoes are also bow shoes.

    However, the imperial court wanted to make a one-size-fits-all approach. Bow shoes, when Zhao Han was alive, no one would dare to wear them.  As for the round-faced pointy shoes for deformed feet, and other deformed styles, this era has not yet been invented.

    When the patrolman heard that the woman dared to refute, he immediately threw the silver dollar back and said sharply: "I can't tell you clearly, let's go to jail!"

    The long follower hurriedly stuffed the silver dollar and said flatteringly, "Master, don't be angry, we'll go home right away."

    It is impossible to ban corruption and bribery by officials and police, and the bigger the territory, the more complicated the situation will be.

    Fortunately, the group targeted by the "Foot Binding Prohibition Order" is not such grown-up women, but poor girls who are developing.

    At this moment, all the schools in the county were in a commotion.

    Especially girls' schools are key targets for investigation.  The girls who study here come from families that are either rich or expensive, and they are the main group who have their feet bound.

    Dian Shi Yang Zhen asked the female teachers to check the female students' feet, and soon found that more than a dozen toes were deformed.  He summoned all the students in the school, and said on the spot: "Your Majesty said, "The Book of Filial Piety" says that the body is hairy and skinned, and the parents dare not damage it. This is the beginning of filial piety. Binding your feet and hurting your body is unfilial.  It is also unfilial if the body is broken. But anyone who binds feet is an unfilial daughter, and she will not be able to get married if she marries in the future"

    There were already girls who were so frightened that they cried loudly.

    Yang Zhen also said: "It's still too late to let it go. As long as you let it go and don't hurt your body, you are filial. The head and teacher of the girls' school, please remember. From now on, you will be checked regularly every month. That girl  dare to bind feet,

    Immediately report to the government!  If there is any concealment, the girls' school will be closed immediately!  &quot;

    Under normal circumstances, it is the policy of the central government, and grassroots officials make a one-size-fits-all policy.

    The ban this time is very special. It is a one-size-fits-all policy of the central government, but grassroots officials try to moderate it as much as possible.  The reason is that the targets are all noble women, and if they get stuck, unnecessary troubles will arise, and the local officials must leave room for it.

    Therefore, in girls' schools, foot binding is not punished for the time being, but it is over if the foot is released.

    ? People who refuse to change after repeated admonitions are a minority after all, so don't blame the government for forcing them.

    ?

 Text 672【Scrambled eggs with tomato】

    Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.

    Fei Rulan hesitated when picking up the pen, and asked, "Do you really want to write like this?"

    "Don't be afraid, there may be criticism at this time, and it will be the consensus of all women in the world after a hundred years." Zhao Han said.

    ?Ordering the ban on footbinding is only a temporary administrative measure, the real long-term change is to change ideology.  In addition to foot binding, the Ming Dynasty also had the habit of binding the chest, but it was more subtle and less harmful.  .

    You can say that asceticism is advocating, but many of the mainstream underwear for women in the Ming Dynasty also have the function of corseting the waist, so that the waist curve of the woman can be highlighted.  This thing may have something to do with aesthetics. Those little yellow books in the Ming Dynasty often used "small breasts" to praise women's breasts.

    Fei Rulan thought hard and wrote from time to time. According to Zhao Han's request, she added another chapter to "The Commandments of Women".

    This work requires the Queen to do it.

    Zhao Han had already corrected "The Precepts for Women" in Jiangxi, and now in regular girls' schools, what he learns is the revised version.  At this time, a chapter was added, mainly about chest binding and foot binding, which were directly denounced as unfilial and bad habits.

    Why are you unfilial?

    Damage to the body is one reason, and corseting can also cause insufficient breast milk.  Ladies and gentlemen can of course have a wet nurse to feed their children, but this is avoiding the responsibility of being a mother—anyway, it is just a matter of unfilial piety.

    Fei Rulan continued to write "Women's Commandments" there, and Zhao Han recruited Fu Qingzhu.

    "You are a master of gynecology, you should know the harm of women's foot binding and breast corset." Zhao Han said.

    Fu Qingzhu cupped his hands: "I am well aware of this harm."

    Zhao Han said: "You write a "Women's Health Record", from girls to old women, and write down the precautions needed by all age groups. Remember, focus on the harm of footbinding and waist binding, and give more examples.  The scarier the case, the better! This book will be taken as a compulsory course in girls' schools, so that girls can easily read it."

    The students of girls' schools are basically from wealthy families, and they happen to be the main group of corsets and waists.

    For female students studying in ordinary schools, foot binding is not conducive to working, and breast binding is not conducive to breastfeeding. On the contrary, there is no need for the government to correct it.  Like Pan Qimei,

    Just a young boy who came out of the mountains, who doesn't know what corsets are.

    Fu Qingzhu said straightly: "Your Majesty's move is for great good, and it is also a blessing for all women in the world."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I personally wrote the preface to this book, lest you bear the infamy alone."

    "A little infamy is nothing to worry about." Fu Qingzhu said calmly.

    Following the government's rectification of girls' schools and brothels, and the latest issue of "Datong Monthly", which published a full-page article on the harm of chest binding and foot binding, many people have already spoken strange things.

    In the evening, in a brothel on the Qinhuai River, a group of pleasure-seekers were teasing and complaining.

    "Small breasts and small feet are both elegant things. Now the imperial court allows breasts and feet to be released, even this brothel girl is no exception. Just imagine, ten or twenty years later, all the brothels will be filled with natural breasts and natural breasts."  Feet. Fat and ugly, how ugly is it?"

    "Brother Hongdao, don't say any more, I can't bear to listen anymore. When I think of the big-footed women all over the street, and the women with big breasts in the yard, I feel like dying. Alas, the world is going down, the world is going down."  ah!"

    "Everyone, don't panic, haha. Is it what the court says? This is a strict inspection of the foot order, so naturally I don't dare to wrap the three-inch golden lotus. But it is not easy to check the chest. Which official dares to really take off the woman  Clothes? Let’s talk about this, yesterday the official came, and today the girls don’t wear their breasts as usual?”

    "Your Majesty today, it's really ahem, Your Majesty is a sage, there must be some bastard who is offering slander!"

    "I heard that it is Mao Fan, a Jinshi from Jiashan, who asked His Majesty to forbid footbinding. This monster will also become a high-ranking official in the future, and he will also be a person who will cause trouble for the court!"

    "Why don't we knock on the que and ask His Majesty to deprive him of his fame?"

    "Knock the que? Knock at which gate? You and I are just former scholars, and the officials don't recognize their achievements. Even this year's imperial examination, only former scholars under the age of 3 are allowed to participate. Alas, we are ordinary people. Kowtow  Que is not our turn."

    There are those who slander, and naturally there are those who agree, and there are quite a few of them.

    Zhang Erqi, a big fan from Shandong, specially supported this decree of the imperial court at various cultural conferences.

    Zhang Erqi held the "Datong Monthly" and said to many scholars: "Your Majesty's imperial pen article, this paragraph is very well written. Let me read it: I have never sung about beauties, and my words are not enough. History is called Concubine Yang  Luo socks, called women's round shoes in the Song Dynasty. Han Donglang's poem said: "Six-inch round skin is smooth and smooth", which is not a proof of bound feet. In the past, when people talked about Dongpo's poems, it was like a famous woman's big steps. It is a woman.  Beauty and evil do not lie in the size of the feet. There are people today, with thick eyebrows and wide eyes, and a thick belly.Bar, start tasting gracefully.  The entrance is sweet and sour, and the umami taste is strong, which surprised her:

    "I didn't expect that tomatoes from overseas, fried with eggs, turned out to be so delicious."

    "I'll try it, let me try it!" Fei Rumei jumped over.

    Fei Rumei's movements were much rougher. Although she still covered her mouth with her sleeves, her speed was extremely fast, and she would smack her mouth after eating, which was really not dignified and elegant.  She licked her lips and said, "Take another bite, I can't taste it."

    Only after eating until his mouth was full of greasy food did Fei Rumei move away.

    The empresses and concubines tasted it all, and there was still a little left on the plate, so Zhao Han asked several royal chefs to taste it too: "After you practice, you can pass it on to the people.

    Imperial meals are not exclusive to the royal family. This scrambled egg with tomato should be eaten by the common people.  "

    Needless to say, in the suburbs of Nanjing next year, the tomato planting area will definitely increase significantly.

    Tomato scrambled eggs are delicious on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is rumored from the palace that the royal family can always lead various fashions.

    In addition to diet, there are clothing.

    Zhao Han has already ordered that women in the palace, regardless of concubines, officials, or maids of honor, are not allowed to corset their breasts in the future.  At the same time, the clothing has to be changed slightly, and the fabric is partially added to highlight the chest.

    The emperor likes big breasts, and some folks must follow suit.

 Text 673 [Grannary]

    Remember in a second, free reading of wonderful novels without pop-up windows!

    "Your Majesty, according to local reports, Shaanxi and Henan have experienced a severe drought this year, and some prefectures and counties may lose more than 50% of their autumn harvests.

    "Let's do our best to help."

    Last year, the whole country was in good weather, and this year God started to make trouble again.

    In the north where there have been no major disasters for several years, the drought in Shaanxi and Henan provinces has lasted for half a year this year, and there was not much snow even last winter.  At the same time, the Yangtze River, Ganjiang River, and Huaihe River basins experienced heavy rains again after July, and the water levels of rivers and lakes in various places continued to rise.  .

    Fortunately, after several years of immigration and reclamation, the Changping warehouses in various states and counties in Henan are more or less stocked with grain.  Moreover, farmers in Henan have only started to pay the land tax in full this year, and every household actually has food in storage.

    Even if there is a shortage of food in Shaanxi and Henan provinces, it is not necessary to transfer all the food from the south, but directly use the Changping warehouse in Henan, and the effect of Zhao Han's recuperation is immediately highlighted.

    While the central government ordered food adjustments for disaster relief, the inspectors of the clean government were also dispatched.

    Whenever there is a big move involving money and food, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will send inspectors to supervise it either explicitly or covertly.

    Xiaohong is a woman, so it is inconvenient to visit secretly, she is in the open this time.

    Going up the Grand Canal, the flood has just receded, and the people on both sides are rushing to harvest rice.  Most of the rice is soaked in water, and if soaked for two more days, it will all rot.

    "Look at Huang Xiantai, there are peasant associations and peasant and soldier flags there!"

    The speaker, named Zhan Wenfeng, is a female inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Zhan Wenfeng was booked by Xiaohong before she graduated from Jinling University, and she entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately after finishing her studies.  Of course, that was before the resumption of the imperial examination, and now you must take the imperial examination first.

    Standing on the deck of the official ship, Xiao Hong looked up and saw the flag flying on the shore.

    Xiaohong sighed: "It seems that the matter is urgent, and the local magistrate has to use the peasant association and peasant soldiers. Nowadays, except for building bridges and paving roads, these two flags are rarely seen."

    ?The farmland on both sides of the bank that has been flooded must be harvested in a hurry, and a lot of manpower must be dispatched.

    At this time, the government can mobilize the masses and make overall arrangements without favoritism.  Which paddy field needs to be harvested first, which farmland can be abandoned directly, and which farmland needs to be mobilized. Only with a plan can efficiency be improved.

    Of course, the farmers who received the help had to express it afterwards.  For example, one person from each household will be responsible for repairing and maintaining roads in villages and towns this year.

    Such an efficient grassroots mobilization ability can be maintained for at least several decades.  As for a few decades later, these two generations will die out, and then they will definitely gradually weaken, and finally the government will not be able to effectively mobilize the people. This process may take thirty or fifty years, or it may take a hundred years.

    If it can be maintained for a hundred years, Zhao Han will be satisfied enough. Zhan Wenfeng lay on the railing, quietly watching the bank harvest the soaked rice.  She remembered that she used to do farm work at home,

    ? During the busy farming season, the primary school in the village will be closed for a few days, so that the students can go home to help.

    Jinling University has more than one female student. The reason why Zhan Wenfeng was selected by Xiaohong is because she came from a poor background and has a relatively quiet personality.

    "Huang Xiantai, why are there no female Jinshi in this year's imperial examination?" Zhan Wenfeng asked suddenly.

    Xiaohong smiled helplessly: "It is inconvenient for women to be officials after all. Female students in universities in various provinces get engaged or get married before they graduate. Once they graduate, they immediately go home to find husbands and teach their children. Which husband's family is willing to let them go to Beijing to rush for the exam?

    The few aspiring ones either went to the official examination early, or went to the Hanlin Academy and Qintian Academy as graduate students.

    In this year's examination, not to mention a female Jinshi, there were not even women who participated in the imperial examination.  "

    Zhan Wenfeng said: "If I didn't enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I would definitely take the exam this year."

    Xiaohong smiled and said: "Then I really shouldn't have picked you, maybe I will be the first female Jinshi in this dynasty."

    Today, Xiaohong's official position is the Imperial Envoy of Zuoqian Capital, the fourth rank, which can be understood as a department-level official.  The level is the same as when she was the magistrate, but now she belongs to the real power Beijing official, which is infinitely close to the deputy ministerial level.

    ?As for Zhan Wenfeng, he was a ninth-rank minion in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and because of his gender, he was able to run around with Xiaohong.

    Zhan Wenfeng joked: "Maybe I can really pass the exam."

    Two women, chatting on deck.

    There are also some male inspectors playing mahjong in the cabin.  You can't gamble, this is the principle. What they are betting at the moment is that if they need to disguise themselves when they get to the place, those who win can be the master, and those who lose can only be errands.

    All the way by boat and car, finally arrived at the border of Henan.

    &nb?Go to the village to collect grain at a high price.  "

    Liu Chuanzong said: "Go and have a look."

    The three of them came to the noisy place, only to hear the village chief say: "Aren't you confused? There won't be a few grains of grain harvested this year, and every household is saving food, so how can I sell you any grain? Hurry up, don't come here."  Amuse us."

    The person in the lead is a buddy from the grain merchant's family. He has tried the soft one. These farmers will not sell grain.  There is no other way, so I simply came forward and threatened: "My second master is doing canon history in Hui County. My third master is the head of the Rites Department in this county. My fifth young master is an experienced person in Datong Bank in this county. If you don't  Selling grain, you will have a better time next year! Know what rites are for? They are in charge of the school! You have offended my family, and your children and grandchildren will not be able to graduate from elementary school!"

    A captain of peasants and soldiers rushed forward: "I moved here from Jiangxi. In the eighth year of Chongzhen, I fought with His Majesty. If I hadn't been disabled and retired from the army, I would at least be a regiment leader now! This Ming Dynasty has been wiped out by us, and we still have to fight!"  Afraid that you are the head of the etiquette department? If you dare to play tricks again, I will beat you up before reporting to the official!"

    "Call!"

    The captain of the peasants and soldiers blew the bamboo whistle, and the peasants in the village came forward one after another. They came to buy grain with a copy of the mess in their hands. They were so scared that they ran away immediately, for fear that they would be beaten to death if they stayed.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    The villagers laughed.

    The three of Liu Chuanzong stayed in the village that night and wanted to inquire about the news, but they couldn't find any inside information.

    Continuing to walk forward, I found that several nearby villages had grain merchants sending people to buy grain.  And, it's all overpriced,

    There are indeed farmers who have a lot of grain and sell some of their grain in greed for the high price.

    Another evening, Liu Chuanzong convened a meeting: "I'm afraid there is something wrong with the Changping warehouse of the Datong Bank in this county. Naturally, there is nothing wrong in a good year, but it will be revealed in a bad year. These officials and businessmen are so frightened that they rush to buy grain at a high price to make up for it."

    "It must be so!" Wei Gan said with a nod.

    ?, after the report, the administrator will correct the content of the chapter later.

 Text 674 [The case of losing the head]

    After the banking system has been streamlined and rectified, in the entire Shanzhou County, there is one deposit and withdrawal outlet in the city and two deposit and withdrawal outlets in the countryside.  These three offices can only deposit and withdraw money, and cannot exchange money and food.

    As for the exchange points for money and food, a market town has been established on the east and west sides of the county seat.

    When ordinary people pay public grain, they can convert it into silver money to pay, or they can directly hand over the grain.  The north has not yet reformed yet, and some provinces in the south can only pay in silver, and the common people have to exchange it once.

    This kind of reform seems to be taking off your pants and farting, and it leaves room for the grassroots to exploit the people.

    However, it is necessary because the administrative cost is too high.  The taxation system and the banking system are two separate government offices. If grain is used to pay agricultural taxes, the taxation department has to send a special person to the bank's money-grain exchange point.  Although the two systems can cooperate and seem to be very simple, in fact, various conflicts and disputes often arise

    Besides, at the two money and grain exchange points in Shanzhou, the grain received every year will be deposited in a specific granary with a fixed amount.  This granary is the Changping warehouse.

    The grain in the Changping warehouse theoretically belongs to the county-level government, but it is stored by Datong Bank.  The loss and consumption of storage is directly deducted when depositing, which is equivalent to the government paying the bank storage fee.  Next, no matter whether the grain is eaten by moths or burned, the government will not lose, and all losses must be made up by the bank.

    "The bank's food collectors are getting worse and worse!"

    A farmer complained to Liu Chuanzong: "In the past, when we paid grain, we went to the exchange point in Chenjiazhuang. When we picked the wheat, the bank clerk came over, put his hand in and stirred it, and insisted that your wheat was not dried, so that you  Pick it up and let it dry before returning. Sometimes it is said that the wheat bran inside has not been blown out, and the grain can only be paid after it has been blown out. What is the idea of ??that? Isn’t it just to deduct the fire consumption?  Come again. Farmers who are far away have to work back and forth several times, which is time-consuming and laborious, so it is better to confiscate a catty or two of grain."

    This phenomenon occurs all over the country, but it is really difficult to manage.

    If the imperial court had strict control over the grain collectors, grassroots work would be impossible.  Because there are indeed farmers who are greedy for petty gains. When handing over grain to the government, they deliberately do not dry the water, or deliberately mix broken wheat or even wheat bran.  Broken wheat and wheat bran are fine. If there is undried wheat, if it accidentally enters the granary, it will damage the entire granary after it becomes moldy.

    Liu Chuanzong said: "Didn't the imperial court order that when farmers pay grain, the bank's money-grain exchange point must open the drying yard to farmers? Undried grain should be dried in the nearest drying yard, and those with wheat bran should also be dried in the drying yard."  .”

    The old farmer was surprised: "What else is there? We don't allow farmers to enter the official drying yard here."

    Wei Gan, who was squatting next to him, picked up his pen calmly and wrote down the matter in his small notebook.

    Liu Chuanzong asked again: "Is there any rumor about the Changping warehouse in the county?"

    The old farmer said mysteriously: "In the money and grain station, I heard that there are grain mice, and they steal grain from home every now and then."

    Liu Chuanzong was a little disappointed and didn't ask for the information he wanted.

    For species like grain mice, petty theft is normal, and it is absolutely impossible to empty out the Changping warehouse, scaring the grain merchants to buy grain at high prices to fill the holes.

    Into the night.

    Luo Fang, who went to the grain station to stay secretly, came back and said in a low voice: "There must be something wrong with the Changping warehouse. In one day, three large truckloads of grain were transported in. It was the private grain merchants who transported the grain in. The hole in the Changping warehouse must be  It’s huge, and grain merchants have been busy buying grain at high prices.”

    Wei Qian said with a smile: "They are also unlucky. Shanzhou is close to Shanshan. This year, Shaanxi and Henan are in drought together. Although the drought in Shanxi is not serious, it costs a lot of money to transport them from the mountains. If these grain merchants want to go to other places to buy  To fill the holes, I have to go to Hubei to buy grain recently. How can there be enough time in the mountains and roads? Even if there is time, it will be snapped up by counties and counties in the south of Henan, and it is impossible for businessmen in Shanzhou. They have already rushed to the doctor.  You can only buy from local farmers."

    Liu Chuanzong analyzed: "This case is obviously not a case of corruption and deficit by officials, but more like a collusion between officials and businessmen, embezzling the food from Changping warehouse. Under normal circumstances, they will slowly make up for it bit by bit in the next few years.  Coincidentally, there is a drought this year, so we have to quickly fill this hole."

    Luo Fang said: "The embezzlement of the grain in the Changping warehouse is nothing more than doing business. Moreover, there must be a place where not only the price of grain is extremely high, but also the demand is still high. The grain they normally harvest cannot meet the needs of buyers."  appetite."

    Wei Qian said: "It's definitely not going to be sold to the south. The price of grain in the south is not too high, so there's no need to let them take risks. In the northern provinces, Henan and Shandong were the first to recover, and the people's livelihood was also the earliest to recover. There are a lot of official grain in these two provinces.  They were transported to the nearest north, to Datong stationed in the northMa, everyone said that they were all exchanged for grain.  There is also a kind of big cattle with long hair and strong body. I don't know if they are good at farming.  "

    The smile on Liu Chuanzong's face disappeared, thinking that the inspection department in Shaanxi is rotten, at least those armed police on the border must be turning a blind eye to reap benefits.

    Regardless of whether it is the Qinghai grassland or the Mongolian grassland, the government allows horses, tea, and salt to be exported.

    However, the export of ironware is restricted, and only daily necessities such as iron pots can be sold. The smuggling of swords and armor is to beheaded if caught.  The other is food, which is also prohibited from exporting. Even if food is to be exported, it is the imperial court using food to control a certain tribe.

    In these two provinces of Henan and Shaanxi, a large amount of food was smuggled out of the country, and I don’t know how many people lost their heads because of it.

 Text 675 [The fire dragon burns the warehouse?  】

    Neither Xiaohong nor Zhan Wenfeng came over, the two female officials were too conspicuous.

    The person in charge of leading the team to investigate the case was a fifth-rank inspector named Wu Wendu.

    "Where's Xiao Liu?" Wu Wendu asked.

    Wei Gan said: "Haven't come back yet. He sent a letter through the post office, saying that he had gone to Shaanxi, and in Shaanxi, it has been confirmed that there are grain merchants who sell grain illegally. Lintao, Taozhou, Ningxia, Yulin, these four places  The inspection department must conduct investigations. Strictly speaking, the armed police of the inspection department belong to the army, and the procuratorate cannot intervene.

    This matter must be reported to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion.  "

    Having something to do with the military, Wu Wendu suddenly felt dizzy, and said depressedly: "I'll write a letter, don't be afraid. Report to Huang Xiantai first, and Huang Xiantai will contact Nanjing."

    These people are stepping up their investigation in Shanzhou, but Li Dayong, the magistrate of Lingbao County next door, is getting angry at the head of the business department:

    "How many times have I said to stabilize the price of grain, to stabilize the price of grain. The county made a private visit yesterday, and asked in the grain store. His mother's wheat is 25 cents a catty. Although this year's disaster, the grain price increase is understandable, but  Damn it’s just autumn now! At this time, Mai’s family has 25 Wen, and when it’s too late next year, how much will it cost to get into his mother’s?”

    Wang Ze, head of the commercial department, said with a bitter face: "The official price has been set, and the maximum price for a catty of wheat is 15 Wen. But this official price can only be guided, not forced."

    The official guide price is really only a guide.

    Directly use administrative power to interfere with the market, if you don't pay attention, you will screw up, and the lightest will cause grain merchants to hoard grain and not sell it.  When Zhao Han rebelled back then, of course he could copy the houses of grain merchants. Now that the new dynasty is established, it is impossible to give local officials the power to search homes at will.

    At least, the county magistrate is not allowed to ransack the house at will, otherwise the government will be easily corrupted, and I don't know how many innocent people have suffered.

    If the price of grain sold by merchants is too high, the county government will impose administrative fines at most, or simply revoke their grain store licenses.

    Li Dayong said: "Contact Datong Bank to transfer a batch of wheat from the Changping warehouse, and let the price of grain in the county be lowered first."

    Wang Ze hesitated to speak, but finally couldn't hold back.  He looked around the house, blinked at Li Dayong, and signaled the magistrate to back away first.

    However, Li Dayong is a rough guy, born as a domestic slave in Anhui.  Although he could read some words, his brain was really not good enough. He was promoted to the county magistrate purely by his qualifications and hard work. He didn't know what kind of trouble Wang Ze had. He even asked, "Is there something wrong with your eyes?"

    Wang Ze almost fell down, so he changed to Nuzui.

    Li Dayong reacted for a long time, and finally he was not stupid enough, and said: "I'll go to the latrine, you wait."

    Wang Ze quickly said: "The lower officials are also anxious."

    The two came to the toilet of the county government office, and after careful inspection, no one was there, so Li Dayong asked, "What exactly do you want to say?"

    Wang Ze said in a low voice: "Master Xian, I'm afraid there is not much food left in Changping's warehouse."

    "How could there be no food in the Changping warehouse?" Li Dayong asked strangely.

    The grain in the Changping warehouse is the land tax handed in by the farmers, and a batch is stored every year for emergency.  If the farmers all pay money, the government will give money to the bank and ask the bank to transfer a batch of grain into the warehouse.

    After the warehouse is full, the old grain will be regularly cleaned up and sold to private grain merchants at a low price, so as to prevent the grain from being stored for too long and becoming moldy and rotten.

    Li Dayong remembers that when he first took office three years ago, the Changping warehouse in Lingbao County was full.

    This is the country under the rule of Zhao Han. The court complained every year that there was no food, but in fact it had been slowed down a long time ago, and the grain reserves in some counties were full.  It's just that these grain reserves do not belong to the central government, but are preserved by the local government itself.

    ?Compared to Daming, when Xinzhi County took office, the county government treasury was so poor that mice would starve to death.  Even if there is a financial balance, when the previous magistrate leaves, he will try his best to evacuate it.  The treasury is the county magistrate's private treasury, which can easily fill his private pockets.

    But now, all the money and grain of the local finance are kept by Datong Bank, and it is easy to be discovered if the county magistrate wants to embezzle it privately.

    Similarly, if Datong Bank was swallowed up privately, the county magistrate would be so eager to kill with a knife.

    At this very moment, Li Dayong wanted to kill someone.

    Wang Ze said: "Three years ago, not long after the county magistrate took office, a businessman from Shaanxi came to buy grain. The price was higher than the market price, and he didn't have to transport it himself. The Shaanxi businessman would be responsible for transporting it away.  The appetite of Shaanxi businessmen was not enough, so they put their ideas on the Changping warehouse. Anyway, it was just embezzlement, and they would make up for it in the next year. But for three years in a row, Shaanxi businessmen came to Lingbao to collect grain at high prices.  Food has never been replenished."

    Li Dayong said doubtfully: "Last year, the county inspected the granary in person, and found nothing wrong."

    Wang Ze said: "The warehouses outside are full

    Wu Wendu originally wanted to investigate secretly for a while, but who knows that such a big commotion has occurred, so he can only investigate it in the open.

    He called the county magistrates and Dianshi of the three counties, mobilized the police force, detained grain merchants and bank officials for severe interrogation.

    Half a month later, the first batch of confessions was placed in front of Xiaohong.

    Wu Wenduhui reported: "Most of the main officials of the Datong Bank in the three counties were involved. But it is hard to be sure, because they did not embezzle grain, but embezzled grain and mortgaged it to grain merchants.  The bank. The two parties have agreed that after the next year’s harvest, the grain merchants will collect grain from the private sector to make up for it, and the bank will return the mortgaged money. Is this embezzlement of public grain? Is it favoritism? Or is it corruption?”

    Xiaohong sneered: "The grain in the Changping warehouse can only be kept by the bank's grain station. It needs the official document stamped by the county magistrate to have the right to retrieve it. Even if you are dealing with the old grain in Changping warehouse, you also know that the county seals it. Who cares?"  Charged with moving the Changping warehouse, none of the principal culprits can keep their heads!"

    Wu Wendu added: "Even those grain merchants are not sure where the grain was finally sold. They all said that merchants came from Huayin County, Shaanxi Province, and bought the grain at a high price. The rest are all guesses.  It was sold to Xihai, some said that the grain was sold to Hetao, and some said that the grain was sold to Hami."

    Xiaohong said: "No matter where it is sold, let's go to Huayin County first, and arrest the grain merchants there for trial!

    As for the inspection department on the Shaanxi border, they will handle it themselves when they wait for the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion to come. We all need to cooperate with the Procuratorate.  "

 Text 676【Fallen military officer】

    ,

    Xi'an.

    ? Shaanxi Provincial Inspection and Inspection General Administration.

    The name Li Hu was changed by looking for celebrities a few years ago.

    Hu, swan.

    Swollen, soaring into the sky.  .

    Li Hu's left forearm is gone, and it was broken when he forcibly crossed the Yellow River in the Battle of Tongguan.  Not only that, but his right leg was also a little lame, and his hamstring was stabbed by Li Zicheng's soldiers.

    A veteran of Conglong in Wuxing Town, just like this, changed from the brigade commander of the regular army to the director of the Shaanxi General Inspection Bureau.

    Moreover, he was also named a baron for his meritorious service.

    Li Huzhong's whole family was taken to Xi'an, and the family property was also transferred to Chang'an County, and all became fertile farmland by the Fengshui River.  Fearing that his family would not have enough staff and could not find tenants to farm, he gave a salt shop in Chang'an County the right to operate it for 50 years.

    ? At least in Zhao Han's view, he has done his utmost to this old fellow from Wuxing Town.

    "Director, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has arrested grain merchants in Huayin County, and they have already arrived at the provincial capital!" His confidant Yang Bin came to report anxiously.

    Thinking about the emperor's methods, Li Huyu couldn't help swallowing: "Don't panic, don't panic, we can't be found here."

    ? Yang Bin came from the Yang family of Hongnong. It was certainly not as prosperous as in the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it was also considered a thousand-year-old family in Guanzhong.

    Yang Bin forced a smile, flattered him and said, "Yes, I won't investigate the Director again."

    Li Hu was still fidgeting, walking back and forth in the room: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been merciless in handling affairs. They have no right to inspect the inspectors, and they must report to the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Government. I am afraid we will have to see such a big matter."  Blood…"

    Yang Bin immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Please benefactor show me!"

    "Yu Xian is corrupt and perverts the law, and condones smuggling," Li Hu paused, and said, "If he is investigated, he may commit suicide in fear of crime."

    Yang Bin said: "Commander Yu is cowardly, and he will definitely commit suicide in fear of crime!"

    Li Huzhong nodded with satisfaction: "Go."

    ?The inspection force is mainly responsible for anti-theft, anti-smuggling, and suppression of bandits, and it also serves as border guards in border areas.  The entire Shaanxi patrolling army is under the jurisdiction of Li Hu, and the direct superior is the Shaanxi Metropolitan Command Department.

    What Li Hu did was to turn a blind eye to smuggling.

    Smuggling grain to Qinghai, Hami, and Hetao is just one of the smuggling projects.  Under the protection of Li Hu, merchants without business licenses smuggled salt, tea and ironware.

    The goods shipped back include wool, sheepskin, yak, camel, horse, Hetian jade and so on.

    Of course, Li Hu never personally handles these business dealings.  Even if those businessmen confessed, they could at most give out Yu Xian, a fifth-rank military officer from Jiangxi.

    Determined to let Yu Xian take the blame, Li Hu was still upset, always feeling that something might happen to him.

    He rode out of the city to a garden villa.

    This was originally the other courtyard of Zhu Cunji, King of Qin, and was later rewarded by Li Zicheng to the generals.  Zhu Cunji himself first surrendered to Li Zicheng, then to the Manchus, then to Li Zicheng, and finally to the Datong Army. He was frightened and finally died of illness.

    ? In the lineage of King Qin, there are more short-lived ghosts, and the main line has died out five times.

    The power of the palace is often in the hands of the housekeeper and the officials of the palace.  Therefore, although the kings of Qin did not do much evil in the past dynasties, the domestic slaves and civil officials were all arrogant, and even if they surrendered to the Datong Army, they were all liquidated.

    There are many villas in the suburbs of King Qin, but this one is not very eye-catching, and it has become Li Huyu's golden house.

    In other words, Li Hu's fall began when he got this villa.

    This broken place has already reached the foot of Zhongnan Mountain. After the government confiscated it, it was really useless to use it, so it was auctioned off to merchants.  Hongnong Yang bought it, and after half a year, he finally got in touch with Li Hu.

    Then invite Li Huyu to drink at the villa.

    The wine is cold and the ears are hot, and here is a beauty.

    Although Li Hu has disabilities in both hands and feet, his fifth leg is very energetic.  After a night of joy, Li Hu woke up furious and scolded the Yang family for dragging him into the water.

    But only half a month later, Mrs. Yang invited Li Hu to a banquet again, and Li Hu went away again in a strange way.

    That beauty is absolutely stunning.

    And her status is unusual, she is the side concubine of the last king of Qin in the Ming Dynasty!

    "The master is back!

    Still far away from the gate of the villa, the servant shouted at the top of his voice, and then rushed to greet him.

    Many of these servants are domestic slaves of Prince Qin's Mansion.

    Except for those who committed the most heinous crimes, the Datong court released all of them to the people, and even settled them down and divided their fields.  A part of the palace slaves, wonAt the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I really don't know what's going on outside, and I was terrified by these words.

    Unexpectedly, before the next day, Yang Bin escaped that night.

    Li Huyu was awakened from a dream by a maidservant, and went to see Yang Bin in only pajamas, and hurriedly asked: "Why are you here? Yu Xian refuses to die? Didn't you say that I will keep his wife and children?"

    Yang Bin said with a bitter face: "Director, uu read books&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.com&quot  ;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a  > After I went to Yu’s house, I was left hanging there for more than an hour. Yu’s family said that Yu Xian had gone out of the city to cause trouble, and I would not be able to come back until the afternoon. I waited and waited, always feeling strange, so I hurriedly said goodbye and left Yu’s house.  I plan to go back to the Yang family and discuss countermeasures with the clansmen, but I saw a lot of policemen before entering the village!"

    Li Huzhong said in surprise: "The Yang family has been investigated?"

    "It's not just being investigated, the ancestral house has been sealed, and I don't know if the uncles have escaped." Yang Bin said anxiously.

    Li Hu immediately slapped the table and said: "It must be that bastard Yu Xian. Afraid of being beheaded by the court, he ran to the inspector of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and surrendered himself. He wanted to confess my merits and make up for the crime! Damn, he has a lot of money."  Points, even if I confess my meritorious deeds, if I don’t die, I still have to peel off my skin. He might as well die and count, at least I will protect his family! Stupid, bastard!"

    Yang Bin didn't call out his official position anymore, nor did he call out his brother-in-law, but panicked: "Uncle, what should I do?"

    "I'm afraid it's not safe here, so I have to run away quickly with my goods," Li Hu said. "You can't go on the road, you can only go to Zhongnan Mountain. After crossing the mountains and mountains, go to Hanzhong first, and then go to Xihai (Qinghai) to join Gushi Khan."  .I have prepared official documents for the checkpoints along the way, and I can pass by dressed as a business traveler.

    Li Hu immediately called the beauties, big and small, and asked the housekeeper to lead people to carry the goods. The gold and silver had even been packed.

    Some servants were afraid of the court and followed them obediently.  Some servants were afraid of traveling far and did not want to flee with Li Hu, so they sneaked away and reported to the officials in the city.

    Xi'an and Shaanxi provinces are all commanders and envoys.

    This Yamen is under the dual leadership of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion, and has two types of officials, civilian and military.

    Civilian officials are responsible for the province's military logistics, personnel files, military courts, military promotions, job transfers, etc.  Military officials are responsible for the recruitment, training, command, mobilization, and combat of the regular army, patrol soldiers, and peasant soldiers in the province.

    Jiang Liang's troops were stationed in Qinzhou. No matter if there was a foreign invasion in Hami or Qinghai, he could quickly lead his troops there.  .

    Hearing that something happened to the General Inspection Office, Jiang Liang left the defense area without authorization and rode a fast horse straight to Xi'an Fucheng.

    Then, he was hung outside the interrogation room, smoking one cigarette after another.

    The person being interrogated at this moment is precisely Yu Xian who surrendered himself.  When Yu Xian first joined the army, he fought with Fei Ruhe, and for the next few years, he was under Jiang Liang's soldiers.  It can be said that Yu Xian's rapid promotion is inseparable from Jiang Liang's promotion and reuse.

    Xiaohong suddenly appeared behind Jiang Liang: "Go back to Qinzhou, you are leaving your post without authorization!"

    Jiang Liang and Xiao Hong belonged to the same village, so he quickly stood up: "Xiao Huang Xiantai, I know Yu Xian, he is still very brave in battle,

    And obeying military orders never commits crimes.  This time it's a matter, blame me for not being strict in discipline before, and ask Huang Xiantai to raise your hand"

    "stop!"

    Xiaohong immediately interrupted: "First of all, the trial of Yu Xian is not under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Before the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Government came, we just cooperated with the Shaanxi Metropolitan Division to review the case.  He is the deputy commander of half of Shaanxi (similar to the deputy commander of the Shaanxi Military Region, responsible for the western and southern parts of Shaanxi), how can he leave Qinzhou without receiving a transfer order?"

    Jiang Liang hesitated to speak.

    Xiaohong said: "The matter of your coming to Xi'an can be big or small. Looking at the friendship in the past, I will help you excuse this violation, just say that me and Du Si asked you to go back to Xi'an to help investigate. Come in with me now and put  Tell me about Yu Xian, and you must return to Qinzhou immediately after assisting in the investigation!

    Jiang Liang lowered his head, followed Xiaohong into the house, walked a few steps and said, "Yu Xian saved my life. On the battlefield, he helped me block the knife. Can I use my title to protect his family?"  life?"

    Xiaohong said in a low voice: "He voluntarily surrendered himself, and he gave a lot of useful information. He should be able to survive without your pleading. But the death penalty is inevitable, and the death penalty is inevitable. The final conviction has to be determined by Bingbuyin.  The Shaanxi Inspection Department leaks like a sieve, you don't know anything about it when you are stationed in Qinzhou?"

    Jiang Liang cried bitterly: "I'm leading the regular soldiers, how can I take care of the patrolling soldiers?"

    Another room.

    Name.  &quot;

    "Yu Xian."

    "age."

    "Thirty-six."

    "Native place."

    "Originally from Jishui, Jiangxi, now from Chang'an, Shaanxi."

    "Position."

    "The Commander of the General Administration of Inspection and Inspection of Shaanxi Province."

    "Confess your crime."

    Yu Xian rubbed his face and sighed: "Let me smoke a pipe, I take off my clothes outside, and there are pipes and shredded tobacco inside."

    Not long after, the smoking set was brought in.

    Yu Xian's hands trembled slightly, he took out the shredded tobacco from the pipe, and tried several times before stuffing it into the pipe.

    After lighting the fire and taking a deep breath, Yu Xian leaned on the chair and breathed out the clouds. After calming down, he said: "When Shaanxi was recovered, I was disabled and transferred to my current position. At the beginning, some merchants were investigated for smuggling, and they wanted to send me money."  If you want to be accommodating, I will deal with everything according to the rules. Then one day, Li Chunthat is, Li Hu was swollen, suddenly took me to go hunting at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, and entered a big house at night"

    "I was a little drunk that night, and I saw Li Huyu being served by maids and servants, and Meijiao Niang was serving and drinking. I was a little envious and a little unconvinced. Why can he enjoy it like this? Li Hu persuaded me  , Said that soldiers and wars are for wealth and honor. We were poor when we were young, and now we are disabled and turned into inspectors. What else can we pursue besides enjoyment?"

    "I took in a beauty, but I was very scared and didn't dare to take it home to raise it. Then I took in another house and raised the beauty there."

    "In the beginning, there were not too bad rules. I just sold the seized smuggled goods to the original owner at a low price. I didn't even dare to collect money to let the smugglers go. Then, I couldn't take it. It's not that I couldn't take it  , it’s the people below who can’t hold it.”

    "I made an opening for the smugglers, and I definitely need the cooperation of the people below. Many of them are my old subordinates. They dare not disobey my orders, so they can only follow me to get money. How did I know that they are getting harder and harder.  Sometimes even behind my back, directly?I think highly of myself.  Being an official is like leading a soldier. On the battlefield, the army is defeated like a mountain, and in the officialdom, the army is also defeated like a mountain.  I asked my men to open an opening for the smugglers, which was like asking my soldiers to retreat in battle.  I only plan to retreat a few miles, but once I retreat, the army will lose its morale, and if I retreat, the whole army will collapse. No matter how much I blow the trumpet, I can't gather together.  "

    Liu Wenchao didn't seem to want to hear this anymore, so he stood up abruptly: "Confess all the principal offenders and accomplices!"

    Having said that, Liu Wenchao yelled outside again: "Old Meng, have you finished your cigarette? Come in and do some business!"

    Lao Meng pushed the door open and came in, seeing the unwiped tears on Liu Wenchao's face.  He lowered his head and pretended he didn't know anything, sat down and said to Yu Xian, "Continue talking."

 Text 678 [Fly separately when disaster is imminent]

    The main routes of fleeing from the north and rushing to the west have all been strengthened and vigilant, and all business travellers.

    Whether it was Li Huchong who fled to Hami, Qinghai, or to the Hetao Grassland, he would definitely be searched out quickly.  He had a forearm that was broken at the elbow, so it was so easy to recognize.

    According to Li Huchong's original plan, the best solution after the incident is to flee north or west.  But Yu Xian's sudden surrender completely disrupted his deployment, so he immediately activated a backup plan, walking directly from Zhongnan Mountain to Hanzhong Basin.

    This is a dead end. After arriving in Hanzhong, it is impossible to escape directly to Qinghai.

    Either go to Hubei, or go to Sichuan, or return to Shaanxi.  The shortest route from Hanzhong to Qinghai is from Chencang Road to the north, and the exit of Chencang Road happens to be Qinzhou, where Jiang Liang's army is stationed.

    Therefore, after Li Huchong arrived in the Hanzhong Basin, he could only find a place to hide first, and wait for the government to relax before looking for an opportunity to escape.

    Li Huchong's villa at the foot of the mountain is not far from the valley road.

    This passage was only a mountain trail in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and it was officially opened as a post road in the Yuan Dynasty. It was further expanded in the Ming Dynasty and can already be used by business travelers.

    Between the mountains, a team of more than forty people passed through various valleys in the Qinling Mountains, heading from northwest to southeast.

    There are men and women, and besides the servant girls, there are even two of Li Huchong's confidant inspectors.

    Li Huchong's money has long been melted into gold cakes, which are small and easy to carry.  These gold cakes are hidden among the real goods, and there will be no problems under normal circumstances.  Because there are very few business travelers traveling along the Valley Road, and there is only one pass in the middle of the road, Qianyou Pass, they check very strictly on the business travelers going north, but they are much more relaxed on the business travelers going south.

    After crossing two valleys in a row, Yang Bin woke up early in the morning. With a gloomy face, he found Li Huchong and said, "Uncle, two house slaves are missing. A man and a woman may have run away together. I counted the gold just now and found that it was missing.  A piece of golden cake."

    Li Huchong said angrily: "Every evening, don't you have to collect and count the gold?"

    Yang Bin explained: "I was too tired yesterday, and I was negligent in the counting in the evening."

    Li Huchong really wanted to scold him angrily, but he still endured it. At this time, there should be no more conflicts.

    Yang Bin said: "Uncle, when we first left, some slaves sneaked away, and they must have reported to the officials. Now that two more slaves have escaped, the officers and soldiers may have caught up before we even reached Jiayou Pass!"

    "These two fugitive slaves will not report to the officials. They stole the gold, so they must hide it and spend it on their own," Li Huchong thought.  The officers and soldiers are traveling lightly, and they will definitely catch up with us halfway. We need to find a place to hide!"

    Inside the Qinling Mountains, there is nothing else, there are many hiding places.

    They also brought a lot of grain and salt, and it would be no problem to hide in the mountains for a year.

    Continuing on the road for a while, Li Huchong ordered the mules to be led up the mountain.  He even walks at the end himself, dealing with footprints and trampled weeds.

    After a day of hard walking in the mountains, I found some dilapidated houses.

    Those houses were originally built by villagers in the valley along the post road. In order to avoid bandits and officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, they abandoned their homes and moved to the mountains to build them.  The Datong new dynasty took back Shaanxi. When the mountain people came out to buy salt, they gradually learned about the new policy, so they moved back one after another. After all, the land in the valley is more fertile.

    There was no one in the house, Li Huchong ordered to clean it up, and gathered all the gold and supplies to prevent anyone from running away with their belongings.

    How could it be possible not to run?

    ?The new dynasty of Datong assigned these slaves to the Qin Palace, so they could farm the land honestly.  They feel that farming is too hard, and they feel that they can't learn it, so they continue to be Li Huchong's slaves because they like to relax and hate work. Now how can they be willing to follow Li Huchong to escape hardships and endure hardships?

    On the same day, there were two house slaves who were sent by Li Huchong to collect firewood, and when they picked it up, they ran away.

    Li Huchong, who heard the news, was immediately devastated.

    Once upon a time, facing the flattery and service of many servants, he really regarded himself as a prince.  That feeling of ecstasy caused a battle-tested general to experience a precipitous drop in IQ, thinking that he could control everything, and the servants were loyal to him.

    At night, the pregnant little beauty secretly took out two gold cakes from under the bed.

    She tiptoed out of the house and got into the nearby woods. Yang Bin had been waiting for a long time.

    The little beauty asked: "Brother, do we really want to run?"

    Yang Bin said: "If you don't run, you can't stay here, and there are too many people, so you will be chased by officers and soldiers sooner or later. It won't be so conspicuous if we only leave as brothers and sisters. Don't worry, I have already done a full set of essays.One piece of gold cake, and other gold cakes, were randomly thrown on the ground, waiting for the servants to pick them up tomorrow.  As long as the servants took the gold, they would do everything possible to avoid the government instead of reporting their whereabouts to the government.

    He was missing half of his arm, and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so it was impossible to kill all the servants.

    "Husband, what what's wrong?" the big beauty said in horror.

    Li Huchong said: "Don't ask too many questions, take your son and follow me!"

    He has lost everything now, he can't even bring more gold, only the baby beside him is worthy of nostalgia.  He was afraid that he would not be able to support his son by himself, so he brought the child's mother with him.

    The next day, the servants woke up and soon felt something was wrong.

    First, Yang Bin's body was found in the woods, and the aborted little beauty was gone.  They went to Li Huchong's room again and found gold pancakes all over the floor, so they began to scuffle and scramble, divide up the gold and escape in all directions.

 Text 679 [Emperor's Wrath]

    It has been two months since Zhao Han received the case report.

    Moreover, this is only the result of the preliminary interrogation. The Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion are sending people to conduct a second round of investigation.

    So both inside and outside the court felt the emperor's anger.  Not the rage of roaring, nor the cloudy mood, but the dark sky, the suffocating air pressure, like when it is about to rain.

    "The inspectors in Shaanxi, the west and north roads are rotten."

    In the imperial garden, Zhao Han sat by the pond and fished: "From top to bottom, it rots together. Those with real power help merchants smuggle. Ordinary soldiers, take cards from serious merchants. Smugglers who don't have eyes, goods  After being confiscated, it was directly divided by the inspectors. It was so rotten that I never dreamed of it."

    ? Xu Ying sighed: "People's greed can't be restrained if the upper and lower effects are followed."

    Zhao Han said: "A few years ago, they were all Datong soldiers, soldiers who could risk their lives to kill the enemy!"

    The patrolling soldiers across the country are basically veterans, and only a small number belong to farmers and soldiers recruited on the spot.  Among these veterans, only a few are disabled, and most of them are over the age, but have not been promoted enough to retire.

    In the event of an emergency, patrol soldiers across the country can be used as a regular army, and their usual wages are not lost to the regular army.

    Xu Ying didn't answer the call, it's not convenient for him to comment on the army.

    But Zhao Han continued: "I still have some impressions of Li Chun. He is Huang Shun's brother-in-law, a carpenter in Lijia Village. We captured Huangjia Town, and Li Chun, together with several villagers, killed the people in Lijia Village.  The evil gentry took the initiative to join the army. The first time he attacked Ji’an Fucheng, Li Chun was already the team leader. We took the eunuchs to cheat the city. Although Li Chun was not by my side, he also led the soldiers to ambush.  It’s easy to use, and I’m already qualified to be a teacher.”

    Xu Ying said: "It's a pity."

    Zhao Han suddenly asked: "Is it because I treat the heroes too harshly?"

    "It's not considered harsh treatment." Xu Ying said.

    ? Long before Zhao Han ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the various departments of the imperial court were formally established, and the salaries of officials had already been adjusted.

    The salary of officials in Datong is about twice that of officials in Ming Dynasty.

    Salaries are not calculated in silver, but in the official price of rice and wheat in the place where they work.  Sometimes it is slightly lower than the market price of grain, and sometimes it is slightly higher than the market price of grain, but the overall difference is not too far, so that the disparity in prices and salaries in different places is balanced.

    For example, if two officials are at the same level, one is an official in Nanjing and the other is an official in Guizhou, their salaries are the same number of stones, but there will be a huge difference when converted into silver.

    If the officials in poor places are psychologically unbalanced, they can save the official ticket and not spend it. After the official in Guizhou receives the official ticket, they can go back to Nanjing and exchange it for grain.  Jin can be cashed in Datong Bank across the country.

    The official first-rank official of Ming Dynasty has a monthly salary of 87 shi.

    The official first-rank officials in Datong have a monthly salary of 280 shi.  Calculated based on Nanjing's average annual grain price, the monthly salary is about

    200 taels of silver, this is a lot of money, and it is outrageous to pay 16,000 taels for Yanglian silver (annual income).

    For example, when Liu Mingchuan was the governor of Taiwan, his salary was 155 taels a year, which was lower than that of officials in Ming Dynasty, but his salary was as high as 10,000 taels!

    To raise a fart, you should be greedy and you should be greedy. Officials of the Qing Dynasty liked to go to Sichuan the most.

    ?Because Sichuan was desolate and uninhabited in the early Qing Dynasty, in order to encourage reclamation, the imperial court had the lowest land tax quota in Sichuan, which lasted until the fall of the Qing Dynasty.

    The low quota of land tax means that there is a lot of room for exploitation. When Qing officials took office in Sichuan, they all exorbitantly levied miscellaneous taxes to squeeze them out.  Being an official in Sichuan for one year is worth working in other places for several years.

    Besides, the Conglong heroes of the Datong court not only bestowed land, but also made up for commercial interests one after another.  Either the right to operate a mine, or a business franchise license.  In order to prevent Xun Chen from disturbing the commercial order, they are generally granted a small-scale terminal franchise license, such as operating a salt shop or tobacco shop in a certain city.

    Just like Li Huzhong, he got the right to operate a salt shop in Chang'an County.  Nominally only has a 50-year operating period,

    But this is only for the convenience of the court to control, and it can be renewed when the time limit is reached. Who will take it back if there is no crime?

    There are only a few salt shops in the entire city of Xi'an, and Li Hu occupies one of them, and he can make money lying down every month.  Moreover, as the population of Shaanxi grows, there are more and more residents in the provincial capital, and the income of Li Hu's salt shop will continue to increase.

    Counting land property, salary, juelu, and salt store profits, Li Huchong's annual income is about 1,200 taels.  In addition, there are charcoal fire subsidies in the north in winter, a full set of clothes will be distributed in spring and autumn, and meals in the government office are also free.  ?As the population increases in the future, the income of his salt shop will increase, and it is normal for his annual income to double directly.

    And this guy is still young, even if he is disabled and becomes an inspection officer, he can still continue to climb up, and it is possible to be promoted to the third rank when he retires.

    Such a person, even if he raises ten concubines in private, can fully afford it.  As long as you don't rob people's daughters by force, and don't cause anger and resentment, who the hell will investigate him?

    "Could it be that I have given in a few more concubines, and the honorable ministers will be able to enjoy it?" Zhao Han asked for no reason.

    Xu Ying also replied: "Your Majesty's concubines are not as many as some generals' concubines."

    Xu Ying meant something, but Zhao Han didn't ask who it was.  This kind of matter is not easy to investigate, and even if it is seriously investigated, no matter the officials or the common people, they feel that the emperor is too mean to the heroes.

    Still the same sentence, as long as you don't rob civilian women by force, as long as you like me, civil and military officials have always taken concubines.

    Because even if he checked, Zhao Han didn't know how to deal with it, and if he took too many steps, he would easily get hurt.

    It is always said that there are three thousand beauties in the harem. Now Zhao Han's Forbidden City, the number of female officials and court ladies has increased to

    3500 people.  For example, the Sili Jianjing Factory recruited nearly a hundred people at one time. This is the result of outsourcing the casting and engraving business.

    Zhao Han has less than ten concubines so far.

    Zhao Han feels that he really likes to enjoy himself more, but he has been trying his best to restrain himself, and has always put people's livelihood first.  Even if he is allowed to take the position of Li Hu, no matter how much he seeks pleasure, he will never smuggle ironware abroad.

    This incident made Zhao Han feel very tired.

    With one or two generals, he can accept corruption.  Shaanxi inspectors, involved in one fifth of the case,

    This is where Zhao Han is really angry and sad.

    "Let's go." Zhao Han threw away the fishing rod.

    Xu Ying bowed and said goodbye.

    Walking straight back to Kunning Palace, Zhao Han didn't say much, Fei Rulan silently welcomed him in.

    "I'll lie down for a while," Zhao Han said.

    Fei Rulan called the maid, fanned away the mosquitoes together, and then put down the mosquito net.

    Zhao Han said: "You come too, hug and sleep for a while."

    Fei Rulan took off her outer shirt and boarded the boat, persuaded: "Your Majesty is too tired, it's time to rest for a while."

    "Yes." Zhao Han responded.

    It's really just taking an afternoon nap, the husband and wife hug each other and spend this quiet afternoon with their eyes closed.

    The case in Shaanxi is too big, involving the smuggling of ironware and food, and no one in North Korea, Chinese and Wu dared to come forward to intercede.

    The case is still under investigation, and there are too many people involved, and the trial may take a year or so.

    The principal culprit in this case, Li Hu, has disappeared, and in the vast Qinling Mountains, no one knows where he is hiding.  It is okay to mobilize manpower and material resources to search for a month or two, but it is impossible for the time to be longer.  If you still can't find anyone in two or three months, you can only hope that the documents will be captured at sea. Maybe some day people will be able to provide clues.

    In a deep forest somewhere in the Qinling Mountains, Li Huzhong became a farmer again.  He brought some salt and grain, collected wild vegetables and wild fruits, dug a hole with a waist knife with one arm, and planted the seeds laboriously.

    It is the baby that makes him worry. The big beauty lacks breast milk and nutrition is not enough, and there is no pediatrician in case of illness.

    He decided to hide for a few months, go down the mountain next spring, come back with a hoe, and get some sweet potatoes and corn seeds.  After two or three years of farming in the deep mountains, I returned to Chang'an County by the same route, and went to Shandong to take a boat to Ryukyu or Luzon.

    Arrived overseas, everything starts from scratch!

    The pampered beauty, carrying the baby on her back, followed Li Huyu's instructions to sow seeds.

    "You didn't sow it right, it's too much for one litter." Li Huyu actually still remembered how to farm the land.

    The great beauty didn't dare to refute. Her people have been arrested and interrogated, and now they can only follow Li Huchong as a peasant woman in the mountains.  Even if you escape, where can you escape?  Eating is a problem.

    After sitting and resting for a while, Li Hu said to the beauty: "You just wait here, and I will go to the mountain to see the situation."

    This guy is very vigilant, even lighting a fire and cooking, he chooses to do it in a cave.  Or choose a windy place,

    When cooking in a windy corner, the smoke will be quickly blown away by the strong wind.

    Li Huyu climbed to a mountain top, chose a big tree to hide it, and took out the binoculars to look around.

    To be honest, if you don't use thousands of troops and search one mountain after another for several months, it is impossible to find Li Huyu.

    Li Hu has been staying in Qinling, and he will basically not be caught. It depends on whether he will be recognized along the way when he goes out of the mountain.

    The main culprit has disappeared, which makes the court lose face!

 Text 680 [Siege of Salhu]

    The salary increase of civil and military officials was not decided by Zhao Han, but the result of his deliberation.

    ?From first-rank officials to seventh-rank officials, the monthly salary will rise as a whole, while the salaries of other officials will remain unchanged.

    First product: 320 stones.

    From Yipin: 310 stones.

    Seventh grade: 45 stones.

    From the seventh grade: 35 stones.

    Compared with the Ming court, the salaries of top officials have more than tripled.  But the middle-level officials have turned over a lot, and the Ming Dynasty is the seventh-rank monthly salary

    7.5 shi, the monthly salary of the seventh grade of Datong is 45 shi, which is exactly six times the salary of the previous dynasty.

    The outbreak of a major case in Shaanxi was just a prelude to this increase.

    The fundamental reason is that the income of ordinary people has increased, and officials cannot always maintain the same status. They must be made more decent.  In addition, the increase in government taxation has not only enriched money, but also increased food income, which can fully maintain the higher salaries of officials.

    This kind of adjustment is normal. When Zhu Yuanzhang first entered the north, he could not afford money and food to pay the officials, so he directly threw the wasteland to the officials, and asked the officials to recruit people to grow food to pay for their wages.  After the finances were sufficient, the land was recovered one after another, and the imperial court distributed the salary normally.

    Many policies of the Datong New Dynasty will need to be adjusted in the future.

    For example, the military supplies and logistics of the provinces are all in the hands of civilian officials. After a hundred years, military officials will inevitably be overwhelmed and unable to raise their heads.  The reason for doing this is because the founding generals are too powerful, and civil officials must be used to limit their power.

    This kind of restriction, Zhao Han intends to last for more than 20 years, and when the founding ministers are transferred back to the central office, they will gradually release more power to the local military officers.

    Just when Zhao Han announced the increase in official salary, the war in Liaodong also started.

    Hetuala City, outside Guandi Temple.

    The city of people.

    There were shouts of hawking one after another on the street: "Young man, with good teeth, works a lot and eats less"

    A Manchu nobleman, surrounded by domestic slaves, pointed to the slave in front of him and asked, "What price?"

    "Twenty taels." The trafficker said.

    The Manchu nobleman shook his head: "It's too expensive."

    The trafficker asked with a smile: "How much is this master willing to bid?"

    "One price, ten taels." The Manchurian nobleman said.

    "At least eighteen taels. It's not easy to catch slaves nowadays." The trafficker emphasized.

    The two sides bargained, and the transaction was made in thirteen taels.

    ?It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. The Manchu nobles who have been to Beijing, after returning to Hetuala, feel that life is becoming more and more difficult.

    In the past two years, not only have there been many deserters, but also a large number of domestic slaves and serfs have fled.  As long as they arrived at the Liao Great Wall, these domestic slaves would be safe, and the Datong Army would let them pass, and the government would even allocate land to them.

    When the Manchu dignitaries retreated, they took away a large amount of gold and silver.

    Now I have money in my hand, but I can't buy enough food, and I can't even look after the servants.

    As a result, the slave trade flourished, and the Eight Banners Army stationed in the northeast did not put their minds on defending the city at all.  Under the command of the general, they were led by the officers of the Eight Banners, and ran to the Heilongjiang River Basin to capture the aborigines, and then transported them back to Hetuala for sale.

    Human trafficking, no matter in history or in this time and space, the nobles of the Eight Banners have done it.

    Historically, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty first entered the customs, many nobles from the Eight Banners entered the city like bumpkins.  They drove the Han people out of the inner city of Beijing, and then found that the house they robbed was so big that the original servants were simply not enough.

    Some dignitaries in the Manchu Qing Dynasty accepted local ruffians as dog legs.  Let these bastards lure, abduct, and rob the Han people, and the servants in Shunchengmen can escape.  "

    The aristocratic son said: "You can buy it after you escape. Our family does not lack that little silver."

    "Is this a matter of money?" Erke Daiqing really wanted to kick him in the past. His sixth son is really useless, and he learned bad things during the two years in the capital.  One is used for fighting cocks and running dogs all night, and it can be used when buying servants, and don't even think about leading troops to fight.

    Erke Daiqing, from the Borzigit clan, can also be translated as the Borjijin clan.

    At a glance, it is clear that he is from Mongolia. His father's name is Ngodel, and he is Baylor from a small tribe in Khalkha Mongolia.  Failed in the Mongolian civil war,

    ? Can only lead the people, come to seek refuge in the Qing Dynasty, and are arranged to farm and live in Liaoyang as a whole, and belong to Zhenghuang Banner.  The land given to them was of course snatched from the Han people.

    During Dorgon's reign, he asked Erke Daiqing to change to Zhengbaiqi, but this person was not co-opted by Dorgon, and devoted himself to working for Dayuer.

    Today, he is so prosperous, enters first-class public, adds Shaobao, and is also a concubine.? Taibao.

    These are nothing. Erke Daiqing's actual position is similar to that of the nine admirals in the Qing Dynasty. He was in charge of the soldiers and horses of the entire city of Hetuala.  So it was funny, several servants of Admiral Jiumen's family escaped from the city, this is why Erke Daiqing was angry.

    Riding on a horse, Erke Daiqing led his men and went out to inspect the city defense in person.

    The streets in the city were very deserted. Due to the promulgation of the "Order to Treat Returned People Kindly" in Liaoning, a large number of Han people fled from the areas under the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty.  Even landlords of the Han nationality who had been the lackeys of the Manchu Qing, as long as they fled to the Liao Great Wall to register, they could settle in the sub-fields in Liaoning—under the crazy exploitation of the Manchu Qing,

    Some landlords left their fields and ran away.

    Not to mention the residents in the city, the poll tax is too high, and they will run away whenever they have the opportunity.

    Today, even if the Han people go out of the city to make trouble, several households have to provide security together.  One family fled, and several families questioned the crime.  The phenomenon of fleeing people was not curbed, but it gave the city guards an excuse to demand cards from the people entering and leaving the city gate.

    ?Because the population of the "capital" was getting smaller and smaller, the Manchu and Qing courts encouraged population trading, acquiescing to the Eight Banners Army stationed in the rear, leaving their posts without permission to arrest the aborigines, and the tribes in Heilongjiang were greatly harmed.

    ? Turned off his horse and climbed onto the city wall, Erke Daiqing looked out.

    He knew that Manqing would be over sooner or later, but he had no other choice but to sink with this broken ship.

    "Da da da da!"

    A fast horse came from the mountain road, and was stopped and searched when he came to the city gate. The man said anxiously: "Don't waste time, Sarhu is besieged!"

    Erke Daiqing soon received the news and asked in person: "How many people have come to besiege the city?"

    The messenger said, "tens of thousands!"

    Erke Dai Qing said anxiously: "This is a decisive battle, come with me to see the Queen Mother and Your Majesty!"

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Lu Xiangsheng sat in the camp, listening to the continuous sound of cannons from the west.

    At this time, Saarhu City is far taller and stronger than it was in Daming's hands.  Because Nurhachi had been rebuilt and moved the capital here for more than a year, it was built according to the specifications of the Houjin Capital City.

    "The bloody battle in Saarhu."

    Lu Xiangsheng recalled the battle many years ago. Although he had not experienced it personally, he had heard it said countless times, because it was the beginning of the collapse of the situation in Liaodong.

    "Da da da da!"

    The sound of horseshoes approached from far away, and a scout rushed over: "Master, we met some Tartar scouts, we killed two of them, but no one was caught.

    Did not encounter enemy reinforcements either.  "

    "Continue to explore." Lu Xiangsheng ordered.

    Here is a group of city defense fortresses. The main city is Saerhu City on Saerhu Mountain. There are two acropolises on the east and west sides of Saerhu.

    Not far to the northeast, at the confluence of the Hun River and the Suzi River, there is another Jiefan City.  Before Nurhachi moved his capital to Sarhu, he once set his capital at Jiefan City. The city area was not as large as Sarhu, but the mountains were steeper, and it was easy to defend and difficult to attack because it was sandwiched between two rivers.  Moreover, on the east and west sides of Jiefan City, there is also an acropolis.

    In addition, there is also Gule City, which was once the royal city of Jurchen in Jianzhou.

    These three cities are in the form of a tripartite confrontation, and they are all built on the basis of the danger of mountains and rivers.  w

    If you want to destroy the Qing Dynasty, you must pull out all these cities before you can go to attack Hetuala.  Even if the Eight Banners Army has degraded its combat effectiveness, as long as it is dedicated to defending, it will take more than half a year to slowly attack the city.

    At this moment, Lu Xiangsheng led his army to capture the East Acropolis of Sarhu.  His mission was not to attack the city, but to keep an eye on the Tartar reinforcements. The Tartars in Jiefan City and Gule City might come at any time.

    As for Hu Dinggui, he led his army to get stuck between the main city of Sarhu and the Western Acropolis, cutting off the connection between the two Tartars.

    Xiao Zongxian was leading his troops to storm the Western Acropolis, and all the artillery of several divisions was assigned to him.

    A hundred cannons bombarded the small acropolis, and the defenders of the Tartars were already stunned.  Even the Tartar artillery had to be forced by officers with knives,

    Only then did he dare to use the city defense artillery to fight back.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    "boom!"

    Although the artillery of the Datong Army was well protected by the rammed earth bunker, one of them was destroyed by the city defense artillery.

    The two acropolises of Sarhu must be gone soon.

    This kind of small castle was built by Nurhachi at the beginning of his army, how could it withstand the continuous bombardment of hundreds of cannons.  The city wall can be destroyed in a few days, and the next step is to besiege the main city of Sarhu, and besiege the city to fight for aid, waiting for the Tartars from Jiefan City and Gule City to come and die.

    Enemy reinforcements require a military order from the Manchu Qing court.

    When Da Yuer learned that Saerhu was besieged, her first reaction was to run away, and wanted to take the little emperor of Shunzhi to Heilongjiang.

 Text 681 [Three Ways of Flowering]

    The general of the Sarhu garrison is called Murima, with a yellow flag inlaid, and he comes from the Guarjia family.

    This guy is Oboi's younger brother, and his fighting skills are quite satisfactory.

    Historically, there are only two major military exploits he made for the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  One is to follow the traitor Jin Shenghuan and seize the entire territory of Jiangxi. There was no tough battle at all, and the officers, soldiers and gentry in Jiangxi surrendered.  The second is to lead the army to conquer the remnants of Li Zicheng, forcing the Shun general Li Laiheng to death, and then surrendering his tribe.

    Due to the repeated defeats of the Eight Banners Army, too many generals were killed or captured.  Then there was infighting, killing or imprisoning a group of nobles, and the Eight Banners Army has withered talents in terms of generals.

    People like Murima turned out to be the mainstay of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    Of course, Man Dahai is still alive now, but the leader has left and doesn't obey Da Yuer's orders very much.

    "Your Highness, the enemy army is divided into three and besieged the two acropolises. Our army should take the opportunity to attack their camp at night," Deputy General Tu Hai said.  In one place, our army didn’t even have a chance to go out of the city to fight.”

    Murima: "You can't act rashly, just stick to Saarhu and wait for reinforcements."

    "Your Highness, don't miss this opportunity, time will never come again!" Tu Hai persuaded.

    Although Tuhai belongs to the Zhenghuang Banner, his origin is from the Huerha tribe of the barbarian Jurchen.

    Many of his people have moved out, while those who stayed in the Heilongjiang River Basin are now rebelling and fighting for independence.  These independent tribes were the main targets of the Eight Banners Army's capture of slaves.

    Tuhai doesn't care about the life and death of his compatriots in Heilongjiang. Although he comes from the barbarian Jurchen, he is deeply influenced by Confucian culture.

    This guy is a standard cultural person. He started his career as a pen post (middle and high-level civil servants) and served as an attendant of the Academy of National History (a close minister of the Manchu and Qing emperors).  Appreciated by Da Yuer, in just two or three years, he was promoted to an academician of the internal secretary, and then promoted to a senior scholar of the Hongwen Academy.

    The Manchu and Qing dynasties did not separate families, yet this cabinet minister came to Sarhu again to be the deputy commander-in-chief.

    Historically, this guy also neglected literature and military affairs. During his tenure as Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, he was transferred to conquer Li Zicheng's remnants.  When he was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he was transferred to quell the Chahar rebellion, then led troops to quell the Gansu rebellion, and finally participated in the quelling of the San Francisco rebellion.  After the death of illness, the first-class prince was posthumously given to enjoy the Manchu Qing Taimiao.

    It's a pity that no matter how powerful she is, she's just a savage Jurchen, not as good as a Jianzhou Jurchen like Murima.

    Murima was unwilling to take the initiative to attack. He knew that the Eight Banners Army at this time had no fighting power like it did a few years ago.  Putting aside the political infighting of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the consecutive defeats of the Eight Banners Army, the lack of military rations alone can explain the decline in the Eight Banners Army's combat power.

    The smuggling checks here are too strict, and even a grain of rice cannot be transported out of the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty, resulting in famine every year in the Manchu land.

    The nobles of the Eight Banners are still enjoying the wealth and honor, but the soldiers of the Eight Banners are full and hungry.

    How can a soldier fight if he doesn't have enough to eat for a long time?

    Murima could only choose to defend to the death. He was afraid of taking the initiative to go out of the city to fight, and he would collapse as soon as he fought.

    Tu Hai, a man of culture, clapped his sleeves and knelt on one knee: "Your Highness, please select 500 warriors, and I will personally lead them to attack at night!"

    "That's not necessary." Murima shook her head.

    Unlike her elder brother Obai's bravery, Murima's character is more calm.  Moreover, even if the night attack is successful with 500 people, how much can they achieve?  It's nothing more than a little boost to the morale of the army.

    No matter how the morale of the army is boosted, it will be like that, unless the soldiers can be fed every day.

    "My lord, it's bad!"

    Just as the two were talking, there was a loud noise from the west, and then a soldier came to report: "My lord, the Western Acropolis has fallen!"

    The Western Acropolis of Salhu was forcibly blasted away by artillery, and the city wall collapsed after only three days of carrying it.

    Murima and Tuhai were very helpless about this, and silently went to the outer city wall to observe the movement of the Datong army with binoculars.

    The Datong Army in the west of the city raised the hot air balloon again, but did not come directly to attack the main city.

    Part of them continued to stay in the west, and some of them bypassed Salhu Mountain and went to the east to join Lu Xiangsheng's troops.

    As for the artillery, they were all transferred to Lu Xiangsheng, and the same trick was repeated to forcibly collapse the Eastern Acropolis.

    The next day, the sound of rumbling artillery rang out in the East Guard City of Sarhu.  This time, the defenders surrendered before the city wall collapsed, and opened the city gate to welcome the Datong army in.

    Manchu reinforcements are still missing

    Meiheihekou (Meihekou City).

    This was originally the territory of the Huifa Department of Haixi Jurchen, but it was annexed by Nurhachi by force.  In the past two years, the remnants of the Huifa tribe lived in the Yehe tribe.The infantry also ordered the requisition of food and grass, and hurried towards Saarhu.

    Leng Saiyi only marched for more than ten miles with his troops, when he received a message from the rear: "Beizi, the southern barbarians have come from the northwest!"

    The northwest is the territory of the Yehe tribe.

    At this moment, Wang Tingchen led the cavalry division and detoured south from the edge of the grassland.  On the way, they gathered soldiers from the Yehe tribe, gathered Huifa tribe and other Haixi Jurchen tribe along the way, and marched towards Mandahai's lair in mighty force.

    The main battlefield on Saarhu's side is full of mountains and rivers, and the cavalry division is of little use if they go there. It is better to rush to outflank the Mandahai side.

    Len Saiyi turned pale with fright, and said to the soldiers: "Go and chase after me, Ah Ma, and let him come back with the cavalry!"

    After sending someone to deliver the letter, Len Saiyi immediately led the infantry home.  His whole family lives at the mouth of the Meihei River, and all their belongings are stored there.  There is the ruins of Zhaosan City in the Liao Kingdom. On this basis, Mandahai even built a simple city, which he wanted to operate as a core base.

    The Datong Army has a large number of soldiers, not only the cavalry division is engaged in raids, but Yang Zhenqing's independent regiment is also engaged in surprise attacks.

    In the north and south, three roads bloom.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 682 [Siege Warfare]

    The infantry of the Eight Banners Army originally had a high rate of riding horses, and they could ride on the road no matter how poor they were.

    But now it doesn't work.

    There is not enough food for people to eat, and livestock such as mules and horses naturally cannot afford so many.  After all, mules and horses can only eat grass, but it is not acceptable to only eat grass and let them be ridden by people.

    What's more, after being defeated many times before, the Eight Banners Army lost countless horses and livestock on the battlefield.

    Therefore, although Mandahai's troops are the only remaining elite of the Eight Banners Army, there are only more than a thousand real cavalry.  The infantry who can ride horses (including mules) to travel will only cost two thousand to death.  This is the result of his continuous collection of horses, and the rest of the troops are pure infantry.

    Leng Saiyi took these infantry and hurried back to the mouth of Meihei River, laying out defenses non-stop.

    But this city is too crude. Although Lensaiyi has more than 6,000 infantry, he has no confidence in defense at all.  Its predecessor, Zhaosan City, was abandoned as early as the Yuan Dynasty. Although the Haixi Jurchen Huifa Department built a city on the site, it was destroyed by Nurhachi.

    ? Facing a ruined wall, Manda Kelp has been leading the army for only one year. What can they do under the condition of insufficient manpower?

    Not to mention heavy artillery, in the face of ordinary artillery, they are all blown away.

    "Go check again and see how far those barbarians are?" Leng Saiyi ordered.

    Forty miles to the northwest, Dongfeng County will be a few hundred years later.

    Wang Tingchen's cavalry division has 13,500 men, all of whom have one man and two horses, one of which is used to carry luggage.

    After the reform of the military system of the Datong Army, a full division has 11,000 people, but the cavalry division is the only exception.  Because the cavalry division has added tiger squatting guns, a lot of new gunners have been established.  In addition to civilian positions such as military doctors, veterinarians were also included in the regular army.

    In addition, there are other auxiliary staff.

    By the way, regardless of whether it is a military doctor or a veterinarian, they usually need to carry out horse riding training, and they can ride horses to fight at critical times.

    "General, a Tartar leader has been caught!" Nan Chu rode back excitedly.

    This guy who married Huang Taiji's ex-wife has completely broken with the Qing Dynasty, and the Tartars are more fluent than anyone else.

    Wang Tingchen said: "Bring it here!"

    A tartar was tied up and dragged by five flowers. He knew that he would die, but he was very tough. It took him a long time to ask for the news.

    In fact, there is no useful information, this person is from the Huifa Department.  The rest of the tribe rebelled, but he was still loyal to the Manchus. After the Manchus suppressed the Huifa tribe, he was sent to manage the nearby villages.

    The man clutched his right palm with the finger cut off, and wanted to roll all over the floor in pain, but was held down and couldn't move.  When he was about to continue to cut his left finger, he said with pain: "The lord is out with cavalry, Bei Zi came a few days ago to recruit infantry, and also took away the food from the village."

    Chief Propaganda Officer Wang Yaochen said with a smile: "It seems that Mandahai is leading troops to rescue Sarhu. If we come a few days late, we can take Mandahai's lair without any effort."

    "Da da da da!"

    More than two thousand cavalry rushed back, Wang Fuchen got off his horse and came to Wang Tingchen's side: "Master, there are not many people living around here, and the Tartars have suffered a lot. We went to the village, and the locals started fighting themselves. The Huifa tribe  Some of the tribesmen are lackeys of the Tartars, and they are usually domineering here. As soon as our army arrived, the people of the Huifa tribe spontaneously rose up and led us to kill the lackeys of the Tartars."

    "Understood, you lead the troops to rest for a while." Wang Tingchen said.

    Wang Yaochen muttered: "After the Tartars are destroyed, the Jurchens have to be scattered and migrated to Haixi. The Huifa tribe is so withered, it is because they refuse to accept the oppression of the Tartars,

    Many of them fled to Yehebu.  Today's Haixi four tribes, the Yehe family is the only one, if they are not scattered and migrated, they will become the second Jianzhou Jurchen in a hundred years!  "

    "This is a matter of the imperial court, just report it truthfully, you and I don't need to intervene too much." Wang Tingchen said.

    Two days later, the cavalry division came to the other side of the Meihei River.

    Mandahai's separatist base is at the confluence of Meihei River and Huifa River.  After Wanyan Agu raised his army back then, he fought a battle with the Liao Kingdom here, completely confirming the myth that "Jurchens are less than ten thousand and invincible".

    Wang Tingchen used binoculars to observe the enemy city, and the dilapidated city was visible to the naked eye.

    Wang Tingchen ordered: "Let the Yehe Department and the Huifa Department organize manpower to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river upstream."

    When the Datong army moved, Leng Saiyi was startled. He clenched his fist quietly and said, "Gaoli, take another thousand people and go to the ferry to stop the southern barbarians!"

    "Obey!"

    Goryeo comes from the Aixinjueluo family and is the son of Nurhachi's cousin. Historically, he led troops to fight against Zheng Chenggong.

    &nbs??Warriors, don't forget the last words of your ancestors.  Even if there is only one woman left in the Yehe tribe, they will destroy the Jianzhou Jurchen.  Warriors, follow me to attack the city!  "

    Thousands of Haixi Jurchen soldiers, carrying simple weapons and simple siege ladders, roared and rushed towards the city wall.

    Len Saiyi shouted: "Quickly defend!"

    A large number of Tartar defenders who avoided the shells rushed back to the city wall with weapons, and some carried boiling hot oil and golden juice.

    "Zizizi

    The hot oil was poured on the person, making the sound of frying squid on the iron plate.

    The first batch of siege soldiers from the Yehe tribe and Huifa tribe collapsed and fled back in an instant, leaving only nearly a hundred corpses outside the city.

    "Again!"

    Nan Chu began to organize the second wave of attack. For the continuation of Ye He's tribe, he could only let these warriors die.  The greater the contribution you make today, the more you will be appreciated by the Datong court in the future, so that you can survive the most difficult years.

    If it weren't for the Datong Army's support of food and cotton cloth, I don't know how many people in the Yehe tribe would starve to death and freeze to death in the past two years.

    After all, uuReading Books <a href="http://www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a> They had just left the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they were extremely scarce in all supplies.  We have to continue to rely on the support of the Datong court.

    The whole day was spent in the siege of cannon fodder, and more than 900 people were killed or injured by the Yehe tribe and the Huifa tribe.  Among them, more than 40% were killed in battle,

    Many of the remaining 60% of the wounded were burnt.

    Their only achievement was to consume a lot of hot oil and gold juice from the defenders.

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 683 "Ye He and Hui Fa both had too many casualties yesterday, so they don't want to attack the city today." Wang Yaochen said.

    Wang Tingchen turned his head to look at the rear camp, and asked with a smile: "If you said that if the Tartar civilians were driven out of the city, what kind of punishment would we bear?"

    Wang Yaochen was stunned: "You and I will both be dismissed, and this battle will no longer be based on merit. I am afraid that it will take a year and a half before the officer is restored to his original post and can continue to lead the army. If you are unlucky, the title will also have to be demoted."

    "Then do it!"

    Wang Tingchen rubbed his hands and said: "The Tartars' supplies for defending the city have not been consumed, and Ye He and Huifa can't sustain the casualties. At this time, a strong attack is to let the soldiers die. We are still young, and we will have more battles in the future."  Fight, even if you lose the title, you can get back!"

    "This this is not good." After all, Wang Yaochen is the chief mission officer of the cavalry division.

    Wang Tingchen said: "It's fine if you don't want to, I will handle it alone if something goes wrong. Just say that you tried to persuade me, but I will forcefully violate the military regulations."

    "It's not a question of who is carrying it," Wang Yaochen said, "The Datong Army has strict discipline, and the military regulations are clearly written. You can't force the people to fight, even if they are the people of the enemy country."

    Wang Tingchen said with a sneer: "I was born as a frontier general in the former dynasty. I have fought with the Tartars for several years. I have seen many disasters committed by the Tartars. Which Tartar has no Han blood on its hands? This is the territory of the Huifa Department.  Now it is the Tartar people who are farming. Where did they come from? It was brought by Mandahai,

    The land they planted was snatched from the people of the Huifa Department.  Do you think they are civilians? When they killed Han people and Huifa people, why did they feel pitiful for those people?  "

    Wang Yaochen was still hesitating, but he was tempted by the words.

    Wang Tingchen also said: "When the Datong Army first established a foothold in Liaodong, they also killed Tartars when they saw them.

    What is the difference between fighting and expelling Tartar civilians?  "

    Wang Yaochen said: "That's different. When we first gained a foothold in Liaodong, we had to kill the Tartars when we saw them. This was consuming the population of the Tartars, otherwise our army would not be able to gain a firm foothold in Liaodong. Now the court has said that in order to disintegrate the Tartars  Morale, Tartar civilians can't be killed indiscriminately."

    "Although the Tartar prisoners in the back camp were all civilians, did they resist when our army arrived?" Wang Tingchen asked.

    Wang Yaochen nodded: "I resisted."

    Wang Tingchen said again: "If the cavalry divisions hadn't come and gone like the wind, and let these Tartar civilians flee back to the city, would they have become enemies defending the city? The closer we get here, the fewer Tartar civilians. Why? Because  The young and strong were conscripted to fight. If we came later, would these Tartar civilians further north be conscripted to fight as well?"

    "Definitely." Wang Yaochen said.

    "That's right, these are not civilians, they are Tartar soldiers! We are not driving civilians to fight, we are driving prisoners of war to fight,"

    Wang Tingchen said with a smile, "Besides, we don't have much rations and grass, how can there be food for these prisoners to eat and drink?"

    Wang Tingchen is really not irrational. Today's Eight Banners Army has degenerated into a combination of soldiers and farmers, and it is impossible to distinguish the difference between soldiers and civilians.

    Let these Tartar civilians take up arms, and they can be transformed into Tartar soldiers one after another.

    Wang Yaochen thought about it, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "I agree, but I will report the truth. How the court punishes, we will receive it together when the time comes."

    "Good brother!" Wang Tingchen laughed happily.

    These prisoners of war, or Tartar civilians, were all captured from the villages in the north, and they robbed them of food as supplies.  The number of people was not large, and the total number of men, women, old and children was less than 3,000, but adult men accounted for more than one-third.

    According to Wang Tingchen's idea, all the old and weak women and children were driven out to fight.  But he was stopped by Wang Yaochen, who was only allowed to drive away the adult men.

    "Listen all of you, you Tartars, I don't know how much blood is on your hands," Wang Tingchen went to the prisoner-of-war camp in person, "Now I give you a chance to make meritorious service and atone for your sins, and follow our army to attack the city. After the battle, not only will your lives be spared,  I can also settle down and divide the fields for you!"

    The weapons were quickly distributed, each holding a stick in his hand.

    If you don't fight, you have to fight, and there are knives and guns pointing behind you.  The soldiers of the Datong Army had no sympathy for this, and wished to kill all these prisoners, because they had blood feuds with each other.

    On the city wall.

    what is that?  " Dolji wondered.

    Lensaiyi used binoculars to observe for a while, and then said angrily: "That's our clansman!"

    The siege began soon, and the servants of Yehe's and Huifa's tribes reluctantly charged again.  Datong soldiers also set off in a small number of formations.  these are all??Yawning and leaving the city wall, let friendly troops come over to change defense.

    The Tartar who switched defenses was also yawning.  They didn't sleep well in the city. They leaned against the city wall and dozed off. As soon as they closed their eyes, they were woken up in a daze.

    Moreover, they didn't sleep much the night before, and the Datong Army fired every now and then.

    After staying up for two nights and defending the city for two more days, I couldn't bear it so hard.  There were already some Tartar defenders, so sleepy that they couldn't be woken up by shouting and killing, they leaned against the base of the wall and fell asleep directly.

    The golden juice is not cooked very much, mainly because there are not so many raw materials, and it will be boiled dry soon after it has been burning.

    The sky began to turn pale, and he could already see things at close range.

    Wang Fuchen yawned and walked forward. He had slept all night.  A thousand pioneer warriors were selected and planned to attack the city at dawn. These people didn't care about anything last night and rested in the camp with peace of mind.

    Wang Fuchen led five hundred warriors and attacked from the northwest.

    Lu Rui led five hundred warriors and attacked from the west.  Fun Court

    These thousand people are all brave cavalry, all dressed in armor, usually on horseback for close combat, but now they dismounted and came to attack the city.

    "Kill!"

    After a long distance, friendly troops began to shout.

    The sky is about to light up, and the visible distance is only a few meters away.  The Datong army did not have torches, and the defenders could not observe the situation, but they quickly organized defense.

    It's just that the Tartars defending the city didn't pay much attention, they were used to the Datong army's feint attack.

    The archers didn't bother to nock their arrows, they just stood behind the arrow stack and waited.

    The friendly army was still shouting from behind, but the warriors who really attacked all trot forward in silence, quickly approaching the city wall under the dark sky.

    "Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

    It was not until more than ten meters away from the city that the defenders vaguely noticed them, and then they shouted in panic.

    The Tartar archers were in a hurry to set their arrows and draw their bows, but there was no golden juice at all, only some logs were lifted.

    A thousand first-time warriors only brought more than a dozen sets of ladders.

    When they approached the city wall against the rain of arrows, more than 20 people had been shot down.  Several people used a wooden pole to push the person in front to accelerate the charge. The junction of the wooden pole and the waist was a shaped groove design.

    "The Log!"

    Many rolling logs were lifted and smashed down, and more than a dozen Datong soldiers were hit on the spot.

    The arrows were still shooting, and Datong soldiers were shot to death one after another.

    After Wang Fuchen got close to the city wall, he stepped on the city wall and ran up with the push of the wooden pole.  The city wall is not straight, but has a certain slope, and there are wooden poles behind it, so it is easy to run up.

    Who made the walls here less than three meters?

    "Your mother"

    When Wang Fuchen was about to climb up the city wall, there happened to be a rolling log there.  Although he was not hit straight on, the edge of the log rubbed against his arm, and he lost his balance instantly and fell down.

    Lu Rui from another section of the city wall also fell, but was stabbed by a spear. Fortunately, he was protected by armor.

    At that time, Lu Rui's subordinate, a battalion commander named Han Shouxin, successfully rushed to the city wall.

    In an instant, three spears stabbed towards Han Shouxin.

    This person relied on his armor to carry it hard, swung his waist knife and slashed vigorously, using his life to buy time for the follow-up friendly troops.

    "Kill!"

    Farther away from the city wall, there was a loud cry of killing, and countless Datong troops entered the field of view of the defenders. This time, the whole army was really attacking the city.

 Text 684 [Blood battle]

    Han Shouxin, who was the first to ascend the city in Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 684, has fallen into a desperate situation.

    I can't tell how many injuries he suffered, but he was bleeding all over his body anyway.  He couldn't grab the knife anymore, and he couldn't even stand still. Another spear stabbed Han Shouxin, and Han Shouxin fell backwards.

    This shot didn't pierce Jiaqing, and Han Shouxin fell down from exhaustion.

    His face was covered in blood, and his smile was a bit ferocious, because he spotted it from the corner of his eye, and two more friendly troops successfully boarded the city.

    A spear pierced Han Shouxin's throat, and Han Shouxin twisted his body to dodge.  But he was too tired and lost a lot of blood, so he just avoided the vital points,

    The point of the gun still pierced a wound on his neck.

    The Tartar defenders seemed to be using him to vent their anger.

    Another spear came, aiming at Han Shouxin's face.  He raised his hand to cover it, the tip of the gun pierced his palm, and pierced his cheekbone fiercely.

    Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the calf.

    However, the Datong soldiers next to him took up more space. Under the push of the Tazi defenders, someone stepped on Han Shouxin's shin.

    Immediately afterwards, Han Shouxin was stepped on again.

    The defenders no longer cared about killing him, they were all dealing with other Datong troops, and Han Shouxin didn't even know how he passed out.

    Lu Rui made a mess and finally boarded the city at this moment.  A total of more than 30 people came up to his side, but half of them have fallen down at this moment.  Facing the siege of the Tazi defenders, they all relied on their armor to hold on, and tried their best to delay the follow-up troops to come up.

    This is a standard siege with cold weapons!

    "Hold on, hold on, all go up to the city wall!" Leng Saiyi shouted vigorously, he wanted to fight himself, but was blocked and couldn't get through.

    "Bei Zi, there are so many savages!"

    Leng Saiyi squeezed to the female wall, his scalp felt numb all of a sudden, the Datong army launched a general attack, and countless soldiers were approaching the city wall.

    "Let the arrows, let the arrows go!"

    For each section of the city wall in several households, there are Datong soldiers who are pushed towards the city by wooden poles.  At the same time, along with countless wooden ladders, more and more soldiers climbed up the ladders.

    ?There are constantly Datong soldiers being shot by bows and arrows, soldiers are constantly being hit by rolling logs, and wooden ladders are constantly being pushed down.

    Even if the cavalry division captures the city, it will inevitably pay huge casualties.

    To be honest, it's a bit worthless.

    A broken city consumes the lives of many cavalry, and it is not easy to train these cavalry.  The best trained dragoons are only a few in the cavalry division,

    There are more cavalry who are proficient in bows and horses, and cavalry who can charge through the wall as if they are dead.

    The reason why Wang Tingchen made up his mind to do this was that the Tartar defenders in the city belonged to the only elite infantry left in the Qing Dynasty.

    Regardless of the Sarhu front line, the Manchu Qing garrisoned tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, but they were basically recruits from the past few years. No matter their morale, martial arts or equipment, they were not as good as the veterans taken away by Mandahai.

    Destroying the elite Tartars here is equivalent to breaking the backbone of the Qing Dynasty.

    In the Meihei River, more than a hundred rafts rowed along the river bank.

    The defenders of the Tartars were all transferred to the front, and these surprise soldiers of the Datong Army quickly approached the city wall with rafts.  Although the east city wall is close to the river, there is still a section left open, otherwise, if the water rises, it will soak into the corner of the wall.

    "There are southern barbarians here!"

    "Woooooooooh~~~~"

    The remaining defenders on the east wall panicked and shouted warnings, and at the same time sounded their horns.

    Goryeo urgently brought troops over to support him. When he arrived at the east wall, dozens of Datong army corpses lay beneath the wall, and more than a dozen Datong soldiers were also killed on the city wall.  But hundreds of people have already climbed up and formed a defensive formation with their backs against the parapet.

    "Follow me!"

    Nan Chu led the remnants of Yehe and Huifa to run along the narrow area outside the north city wall, found the wooden ladder and immediately climbed up.

    Although the equipment of these Haixi Jurchen soldiers is simple, they exploded with great combat effectiveness at this moment.

    They were oppressed by the Manchu Qing for a long time, and their ancestors had blood feuds.  Now they have finally found a chance to fight for revenge, but also for the future. Only by destroying Manqing can they truly survive.

    More and more Datong troops boarded the East City, and Gao Li couldn't hold back anymore. He shouted to the soldiers: "Go and rescue the soldiers!"

    The soldier managed to get to Leng Saiyi's side, and Leng Saiyi was already dizzy.

    His eldest brother, Chang Adai, is the real warrior, but he has been working as a civil servant.  Although I have practiced since I was a child, and I have gone out with the army, but this is the first time to command a battle independently.

    ?From the start to the present, Lensaiyi has performed very well and has not made any major mistakes.

    However, in the face of the Datong Army's comprehensiveThe army suddenly burst out from the side.  Moreover, this gentleman was extremely brave, and he caught the Tartars on the west wall by surprise.

    At this moment, the Datong Army who was in charge of opening the gate finally occupied the city gate as well.

    A large number of Datong soldiers who did not ascend the city rushed in from the city gate, and then followed the ramp of the city wall to attack the rear of the Tartar defenders.

    ?The Eight Banners Army was defeated like a mountain, one after another.  Fun Court

    On the other side of the east wall, Goryeo has died in battle.  This brother of Huang Taiji and Dorgon was killed by an unknown soldier.

    Nan Chu, on the other hand, led soldiers from the Yehe tribe and the Huifa tribe, and was massacring the old and weak women and children guarding the city. He shouted: "They are all dog tartars, no one will be left behind!"

    Goryeo's brother, Doerji, was originally defending the city wall in the northwest, but when he saw the situation was not going well, he ran away, causing a series of retreats among his troops.

    Dorge fled into the city, found enemies everywhere, and finally hid in a well.

    When Wang Tingchen rode into the city on horseback, the situation of the battle had already come to an end, and only a few Tartars were still fighting stubbornly in the streets.  The soldiers of the Yehe tribe and the Huifa tribe continued to massacre the surrendered Tartar soldiers, not counting the massacre of the old and the weak, women and children.

    Wang Yaochen wanted to go over to stop him, but was stopped by Wang Tingchen: "It's fine if we don't kill them. Our army ran a long distance, and the army rations are not enough. There is no need to raise so many prisoners. Moreover, after capturing this city, we will continue to attack after making some repairs.  , simply unable to take care of so many prisoners of war."

    Wang Yaochen hesitated to speak.

    Wang Tingchen also said: "Let them kill for a while, and then stop them, just have an excuse to beat them. If you say you don't kill the prisoners, if they do, they will be guilty!"

 Text 685【Another Disciplined】

    "Casualty statistics are out." Wang Yaochen handed over a report.

    Wang Tingchen took a look, and suddenly became silent.

    Counting from the day when the cannon fodder attacked the city until it completely occupied the city, the casualties of the Datong Army were as follows:

    ? 1,552 people were killed, 743 were seriously injured, 3,639 were slightly injured, and the casualty rate reached 43.9.

    Wang Tingchen is a Ming side general who served here, and the Ming army lost tens of thousands at every turn, and there are no casualties in front of him to make him feel sad.

    These are all cavalrymen who have been trained for several years, and they are extremely precious.  Many people were killed when they climbed the city, they were hit by rolling logs, shot by bows and arrows, or they were surrounded and killed after climbing first.

    Even if they were killed in battle, they deserved to die on the battlefield while riding horses. It is not worth dying in the siege!

    Wang Yaochen comforted and said: "The Tartars guarding the city are all elites of the Puppet Qing Dynasty, and they are all fighting desperately. If the southern city wall hadn't killed the enemy generals and flanked the western city to open the city gate, the Tartar soldiers would have continued desperately. We  So many people were killed and injured, it is actuallynot wronged."

    "I understand," Wang Tingchen sighed, "but these are the soldiers we have trained with our own hands. Since the formation of the cavalry division, I did not expect to lose the most during the siege."

    Wang Yaochen said: "There is also good news. The city is full of wheat and livestock. Most of the wheat has just been harvested this year. The Tartars collected it and prepared it as military rations to send troops to support Sarhu. Livestock were also collected to transport military rations.  , and now we have seized them all."

    Wang Tingchen said: "If we arrived a few days earlier, the Tartars would definitely not have time to gather their troops, and they could easily capture the city. In the final analysis, the attack speed is too slow, so we shouldn't waste so much time in the north."

    "Who knew that the Tartars were just drawing troops?" Wang Yaochen said.

    The cavalry division swept across the villages in the north, just to quickly cut off the vital forces of the Tartars.  As a result, after the raids, they realized that the situation was wrong. The number of Tartars in the countryside was too small, and many young and strong were taken away to fight.

    Wang Tingchen calmed down and said: "Order the whole army to rest for two days. The seriously wounded and military doctors will stay, and the rest of the troops will continue to attack!"

    Here you can go straight to the main battlefield, march along the Huifa River, Baiyun River, and Hun River, and only need to climb a few low mountains on the way.

    But the distance is quite long, a full 300 miles, and the march in the valleys and mountains is not fast enough.

    A few days later, the cavalry division passed a place called Siping, which already belonged to Qingyuan County in later generations.

    "Destroy the weapon workshop!"

    "If there is any resistance, shoot and kill, and all craftsmen will be arrested!"

    Hundreds of years later, there are many "Siping" in the Northeast, such as Da Siping Town, Bei Siping Township, and Xiao Siping Village.  Without exception, it must be the production base of bows and arrows in the Qing Dynasty. The original meaning of "Siping" in Manchu language is "making arrow shafts".

    At this very moment, on the southern battlefield, Yang Zhenqing's independent regiment is also attacking Siping—Xiao Siping Village, Da Siping Town hundreds of years later.

    Yang Zhenqing set off from Yahuguan Pass (in the territory of Weiziyu Town), crossed the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty, and went straight to Dasiping Town.

    Many of the land outside Yajuan Pass belonged to the Ming Dynasty. Li Chengliang gave up six castles without authorization and gave them to Nurhachi on the grounds that "the land is lonely and hard to defend".

    As for the Kuandian area further south, I am too lazy to attack.  Daming built many forts in Kuandian, including Kuandian Fort, Xindian Fort, Yongdian Fort, Dadian Fort, and Changdian Fort.  After the Manchu Qing occupation, the local people were forcibly removed, and it has been deserted for 20 to 30 years.

    It was not until Dayuer moved the capital to Hetuala that Kuandian was reclaimed.

    However, the population is still sparsely populated. There are only 20 or 30 households in a village, and there are even only a few households in many places.

    It is a waste of food and grass for those who are in the mountains to conquer sporadic Tartars.

    It is much more comfortable to go east from Yaful Pass, as long as you lay down a few castles along the way, twenty miles to the east is the gold mine of the Tartars, and thirty miles to the southeast is the production base of the Tartars' bows and arrows.

    Former Fort.

    There are mountains on all sides, mountains on the south, and a narrow river valley between the two mountains.

    The independent group traveled day and night, took a small boat unexpectedly, and chose to go ashore after passing the castle.

    The guard of this castle is called Dai Qing, a name that has been flooded.  There are not too many Mongols and Jurchens called Dai Qing, Dai Qin, and Dai Qing, which means "brave".

    Even Dorgon's title before becoming king was "Mergen Daiqing", that is, "wise warrior".

    The Dai Qing in front of me is probably not very brave.  When he woke up, he found thousands of enemies behind the castle, and his face turned pale with fright.

    The function of the front fort is to stop the army. A few thousand people can easily row past without luggage.

    &nbsalso be questioned.

    What's more, they just drew lots and escaped from the gate of hell.  If he surrendered and rebelled, wouldn't the life and death lottery drawn just now be for nothing?

    Furthermore, many of their family members are in the hands of the Datong Army!

    Killing people by lottery is not just about venting anger.

    It is not only to establish prestige, but also to manipulate the thoughts and emotions of the captives.

    Dai Qing's two elder brothers both died at the hands of the Datong army, and he himself was almost killed just now.  But this guy is actually still lecturing the soldiers: "Listen well, kill two tartars, and you can clear your sins. For your family, for yourself, kill them all! Kill the tartars, kill the tartars!  !"

    "Kill the Tartars, kill the Tartars!"

    A group of Tartar soldiers who had no fighting spirit, just surrendered, actually shouted to kill the Tartars, and seemed to have the will to fight.

    Following the Taizi River and continuing east for more than ten miles, you will come to the second castle.

    Yang Zhenqing said to Dai Qing: "Go and persuade the general to surrender, if you can persuade the guards to surrender, you don't need to kill two Tartars to get away with it!

    Dai Qing was overjoyed, knelt down to kowtow to Yang Zhenqing, and then rushed to the castle: "Anba, I am Dai Qing, and I have surrendered the heavenly soldiers of Datong. You also surrender quickly, and I will give you a chance to survive. Sal  Over there, half a million Datong Heavenly Soldiers have surrounded Saarhu City. Do you still want to be buried with the little emperor?"

 Text 686 [A surprise attack in a surprise attack]

    Dai Qing stood outside the castle well, which is equivalent to showing his body. Surrendering to the Datong Army can really save him from death.

    Therefore, Anba, the guard of the fort, only thought for a few minutes, and then led his soldiers out of the city to surrender.

    No matter how fiercely the cavalry division fought, how easy it was for Yang Zhenqing to win.  Comparing the two, there is a strong contrast, and the backbone of the Eight Banners Army is really broken.

    As usual, the soldiers were confiscated, and then one out of ten was announced.

    The Tazi soldiers who had just surrendered were in an uproar in an instant.  But they lost their weapons and were surrounded by Datong soldiers, so they could only draw lots angrily and helplessly.

    Dai Qing actually gloated a little, and said to Anba: "Don't worry, it's not that bad luck."

    Amba glared at this guy, and took the initiative to draw lots.  Then his whole body went limp, and he was so excited that he wanted to cry. He was also lucky not to draw a dead lottery.

    After a while, Amba asked for advice.

    Yang Zhenqing was expressionless: "Come on, what's your plan?"

    Anba analyzed in detail: "There is a valley fork ahead, 30 miles to the east is a gold mine, and 40 miles to the east is a lime kiln. Going southeast from the fork, 30 miles away is a workshop for making arrow shafts, and  Coal mines, iron mines, and lumberyards. Is the general going to hit those places?"

    Yang Zhenqing did not answer directly, but: "Where do you suggest to fight?"

    "JingHetuala!" Anba said harshly, suggesting that Yang Zhenqing go directly to the little emperor Shunzhi.

    Yang Zhenqing looked at the Tartar general with admiring eyes, and finally smiled: "Interesting."

    Anba explained: "From Yaful Pass to Hetuala, the mountain road along the way is rugged, and it is difficult for the army to walk. There are only a few dozen or a few hundred troops stationed in the fortresses, and most of them can recruit and seize the city. The Eight Banners the Tartars  The army must have been sent to Sarhu, and Hetuala probably didn’t have many defenders. Even if there were, most of them were from Du Yusi’s army. They usually only want to enjoy themselves, so how could they have the heart to fight to the death?”

    The Duyu Division of the Manchu House of Internal Affairs, similar to the Imperial Horse Supervisor of the Ming Dynasty, was a military department directly managed by the emperor.

    In the past few years, the finances of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties have collapsed, and guards like Dai Qing and Anba have all become miserable.  However, the noble soldiers of the Duyu Division of the Ministry of Internal Affairs still received the preferential treatment in the past, which had long made the lower-level Tartar soldiers extremely dissatisfied.

    According to Anba's idea, Lao Tzu was guarding the fortress outside, working hard just to fill his stomach.  Why do you bastards steal and play tricks in the capital, but still enjoy wealth and leisure?

    Yang Zhenqing asked suddenly: "Why didn't you light the beacon fire here?"

    Amba was a little embarrassed: "The soldiers must be lazy."

    From Crowful Pass to Hetuala, there are not only several fortresses along the way, but also more beacon towers.  If the Datong army attacked from this route, Hetuala would be able to receive the news within less than half of the march, and then mobilize heavy troops to block the valley.

    But the fact is that Yang Zhenqing surrendered the two fortresses, and the Tartars have not yet lit the smoke.

    Facing such a situation, there is really a chance to surprise Hetuala!

    "The whole army rests for half a day," Yang Zhenqing ordered, "We don't go to the south to build an arrow workshop, and we don't go to the east to dig gold mines. Let's go to the north to find the puppet emperor! Fuck it!"

    "Damn it! Hahahaha!"

    The soldiers laughed and were inexplicably excited.

    Although the mountain road to the north is rugged, it is actually well repaired, and many sections of the road are even paved with stones.  After all, the gold collected in the east and the bows and arrows made in the south must be transported to Hetuala through this road.

    ? Yang Zhenqing sent a small group of troops to set off early as a vanguard, with the purpose of destroying the beacon towers along the way in advance.

    Dai Qing and Anba, who surrendered, each sent a guide to lead the way, pointing out where there are hidden piers.

    There was no danger along the way, and another fortress was surrendered.

    Until more than ten miles away from Hetuala, Yang Zhenqing finally encountered a hard stubble.  The guard refused to surrender, and even ordered the beacon to be lit. It won't be long before Da Yuer will receive the news.

    One after another, the smoke rose one after another, and that afternoon, Hetuala was terrified.

    Da Yuer panicked and summoned Ning Wanwo, Fan Wencheng and others.

    Many Manchu nobles were transferred to Sarhu to fight, and there was not even one in the capital who could discuss matters.  Moreover, the talents withered very badly, so let’s take the Xianglan Banner. After Ji Du’s death, heirs would be extinct immediately.

    Shunzhi is 12 years old and is about to enter puberty, so he doesn't know much about the world.

    He sat on the golden chair, feeling the tense atmosphere, and he couldn't help becoming nervous.

    Da Yu'er didn't care about hanging the curtain, so she sat in the main hall and said anxiously: "NanSo they made a big fuss in the hinterland of the Tartars, and went all the way to fight guerrillas. Anyway, they would make the Tartar court sleepless.

    The closer the distance to Taniguchi, the tighter Yang Zhenqing watched the guides to prevent them from escaping and reporting to the Tartars.

    In fact, Yang Zhenqing thought a lot about it.

    Anba, this guy, took the initiative to offer a surprise attack on Hetuala, and also took the initiative to act as a guide to climb the mountain and bypass the castle.  He really wanted to make meritorious service, and he didn't want to be buried by the Manchu court.

    Another day and a half later, Yang Zhenqing finally walked out of the valley, and more than a thousand soldiers under his command were starving.

    The confluence of Suzi River and Erdao River is the city of Hetuala.

    And the Erdao River, as the name suggests, is two rivers merged into one, forking suddenly like peeing.  The direction in which the Manchus sent troops was the western tributary of the Erdao River, and the eastern tributary that Yang Zhenqing took after overcoming the mountains.

    "How about the march losses?"

    "One fell ill and thirteen were injured. Among them, two broke their legs, one broke their arms, and the remaining ten only sprained their feet."

    "Those who broke their hands and feet will stay to take care of the sick. The rest will rest in place so as to recover their strength and attack Hetuala City tonight!"

    More than a thousand Datong soldiers who were dying of hunger, just like this, went to the capital of the Manchu Qing Dynasty to kill.

    7017k&lt;/div&gt

 Text 687 [Everyone is hungry]

    Amba finally understood why the Manchus were always defeated, but the Datong Army always won.

    He was rushing with the army as a guide, and at the moment he was so hungry that his chest was on his back.  Not to mention going into battle, I feel a little dizzy when I walk. I just gnawed some grass roots today.

    "General," Anba suggested, "should we sweep the outside of the city first and get some food to fill our stomachs. It is too difficult to attack the city directly, and the soldiers are almost starved to faint. If they fail to attack the city, the entire army may be wiped out."  .”

    Yang Zhenqing is a lunatic, and he doesn't want to retreat at all: "Soldiers are expensive, since it's a surprise attack, then hit the vital points directly. After getting food outside the city, how can the defense inside the city attack the city? And" Yang Zhenqing suddenly laughed  , "I believe in the fine brothers in the city."

    Amba's stomach is empty, and his heart is also empty at the moment.  He proposed a surprise attack, but wasn't it a surprise attack method, letting a group of hungry soldiers attack the city at night?

    In the darkness, countless torches gradually ignited.

    They would rather not bring so much dry food, but also bring enough weapons and firelighters.

    Hetuala was the early capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, and its area was not as large as the expanded Saerhu City.

    The Aixinjueluo family lives in the inner city, which is also the so-called Wangcheng and Huangcheng.

    In the north of the outer city, all artisans live, and most of them are Han artisans.  The remaining three sides of the outer city were inhabited by Manchu nobles, merchants and Han officials.

    Outside the city, ordinary soldiers and their families living in the Eight Banners Army.

    There were originally Han people outside the city, but they have fled one after another in the past two years, and not many Han people have been seen.

    Numerous torches were lit, and the Tartar soldiers guarding the city soon spotted the troops and blew their horns to issue a warning.

    The city was in chaos, and they couldn't figure out what was going on, let alone where the enemy came from.

    Yang Zhenqing led the soldiers under his command and rushed to the residential area outside the city holding a torch.  The Eight Banners soldiers who lived here were either guarding the city, or followed Suo Hun to the south to stop the attack, and the rest of the settlements were all the Eight Banners families.

    Even, there are not many young and strong people, and everyone who can fight is recruited. More than 90% of them here are old and weak women and children.

    "Don't look for food, light the fire quickly!" Yang Zhenqing reiterated the military order while running.

    The Datong Army, which was full of hungry people, actually only set fire to the house, instead of rushing into the house to look for food.  In an instant, fire broke out outside the city, and countless Tartars, old and weak, ran away crying and shouting.

    The Tartar defenders on the city wall, only a few hundred people left, stared dumbfounded at the fire outside the city.

    Their family members are all outside the city, and they don't know if they were burned to death. Anyway, their house must be gone.

    The city guard will be called Solga, the younger brother of Erke Daiqing.

    Solga yelled: "Shut the city gates tightly and don't go out to fight the fire!"

    This order made the Tartar soldiers stationed on the outer city wall extremely angry when they heard it.

    What is burning outside is their home, their family.

    And for nobles like Solga, whose family members are all in the city, even if the outside of the city is burned, the nobles will not lose anything.

    Even more disgusting is the royal family!

    Those surnamed Aixinjueluo all lived in the inner city.  After the warning horn sounded, the soldiers in the inner city did not come out at all.

    Instead, put all your energy into defending the inner city wall.

    It's so ridiculous that there are only a thousand defenders left in Hetuala.

    Half of them were the Eight Banners Army whose families were outside the city. They were not allowed to go out or help their families, so they could only stick to the outer city wall.

    Half of them were the Eight Banners Army whose families were in the outer city, and they were not allowed to go out, so they could only guard the Aixinjueluo family in the inner city.

    Fan Wencheng was awakened by the sound of the horn, and dressed under the service of his concubine, and the housekeeper asked: "But the southern barbarians came?

    The butler replied: "I don't know, it's very chaotic outside, and many people are asking for news.

    "

    Suddenly, there was noise in the lower courtyard.

    Fan Wencheng felt that something was wrong, so he went to check in person, only to hear a house slave shouting: "I am sent by Emperor Zhao of Nanjing, the Heavenly Soldiers of Datong have arrived, Han brothers and sisters, please don't be buried with the Tartars. Set fire to it with me."  Room,

    Everyone can be rewarded for meritorious service, and everyone can share the land and be a landlord!  "

    Fan Wencheng was startled and asked, "Who is this person?"

    The housekeeper said: "I bought it last year."

    Fan Wencheng suddenly remembered the human trade at Guandi Temple.  There have been too many escaped slaves in the past two years, so I can only buy back slaves to supplement, I am afraid that countless secret works have been mixed in.

    Maybe, those merchants who buy and sell people have secretly taken refuge in the Datong court!

    "Get it for me!" Fan Wencheng shouted.

    &nbsnbsp; Yang Zhenqing said: "Get some food and water first, uu read books <a href="http://www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a> The more the better  , we haven't eaten much these days.

    When the fire was set outside the city, several soldiers were starved and fainted.  "

    "General, the House of Internal Affairs of the Puppet Qing Dynasty must have something to eat By the way, there are military camps in the city, so there must be a lot of food there!" Xizuo said.

    Yang Zhenqing ordered: "You lead the way, I will send a few people to follow, first go to the Tartar army camp to get the food ready."

    The Datong Army, which is full of hungry people, now only thinks about eating, and is not even in a hurry to maintain law and order, let alone whether the Emperor Tartar has run away.

    Such a crazy rushing method, no one could have imagined that the Tartars, nor the allies of the Datong Army could have imagined it.  On the other side of Saerhu, the siege is still facing off. Both sides are waiting for the reinforcements of the Manda kelp soldiers to fight a decisive battle. Who would have expected that the capital of the Tartars would disappear inexplicably?

    The news first reached Suo Hun, who was still leading troops to garrison the castle to intercept Yang Zhenqing's main force.

    "What? Hetuala is gone?" Suohun thought he heard it wrong.

    Erke Daiqing asked: "Where did the enemy come from?"

    The Tartar who reported the message had a bitter face: "I don't know where they came from, but they suddenly killed outside the city and set fire to houses everywhere.

    The outer city also caught fire inexplicably, and there was chaos everywhere. It is said that His Majesty has fled.  "

    Suohun and Erke Daiqing looked at each other, thinking of running away.  If they didn't run away, they would be attacked from the back and the back, and they would be completely blocked in the ravine.

 Text 688 [Closing the door and beating the dog]

    ,

    After confirming that Sohun abandoned the castle and left, the main force of the independent regiment seized the castle and went to Hetuala to join Yang Zhenqing.

    Unexpectedly, when they were halfway there, they received an order from Yang Zhenqing to immediately defend the city.

    Where are you guarding?

    Of course it is Shou Hetuala, which is already empty, only the wounded and sick of the independent regiment are left.  After two days of recuperation, Yang Zhenqing actually led his army to set off again, not at all afraid that after he left, the Tartar capital would be taken back.

    Amba is very sure that this Han general named Yang Zhenqing is a complete lunatic!

    More than a thousand people crossed mountains and ridges, marched in a hurry hungry, and took Hetuala overnight.  It's only been two days of rest, and the meat that was starved has not been replenished, and he abandoned the city and headed towards the main battlefield.  There was a battle of tens of thousands of people, and even more than 100,000 civilian husbands. Did these thousands of people go to deliver food?

    At this moment, Man Dahai finally arrived at Jiefan City with his cavalry.

    As soon as he arrived on his front foot, he received an urgent report on his back foot. His son sent someone to chase after him and deliver a letter, saying that a large number of enemy troops had appeared in his old den.

    what to do?

    Man Dahai wanted to go back to rescue, but the Datong Army must have not brought enough siege weapons for the long-distance attack, and maybe the city has not been breached when they go back.  But the Saarhu battlefield in front of him also needs him. Once he is the backbone, Saarhu's morale may collapse immediately.

    After much deliberation, Man Dahai decided not to return aid.

    If the son can hold on, the Datong army that is running around and attacking will definitely withdraw due to lack of food.  If the son can't keep it, it will be too late for him to go back.  It's better to stay on the main battlefield, as long as you win this battle, any loss is acceptable.

    "My lord, the two acropolises of Sarhu and the nearby fortresses have all been captured by the southern barbarians." In command of the army in Jiefan City is Yang Guli's grandson Ai Xing'a, whose title is Duke Yingcheng  , Awarded first-class general officer.

    Man Dahai asked: "The southern barbarians just besieged Saarhu, and didn't hit Jiefan City?"

    Jiefan City is Jiefan City, and the Tartars don't like the word "Fan".

    Ai Xing shook his head: "I didn't come over, I guess it was waiting for us to pass, and the Nanmanzi wanted to besiege the city and fight for help."

    Man Dahai thought silently.

    The Datong Army that besieged Saerhu City had a total of four regular divisions, plus farmers, soldiers and civilian husbands, there were nearly 90,000 people there.

    There are only about 5,000 Tartar defenders in Sarhu City.  The Eight Banners Army in Jiefan City and Gule City has gathered more than 40,000 people - the Qing Dynasty has exhausted all the young and strong. Among the more than 40,000 people, many of them have never fought, and the youngest is only fourteen years old.  five years old.

    "You can't force it. The enemy army has been on the battlefield for a long time, and our army is mostly weak soldiers. There is no certainty in a decisive battle in the field," Man Dahai said.  They will naturally withdraw their troops. At that time, look for opportunities and seize the loopholes in their withdrawal to hunt down and kill them!"

    Ai Xing did not dare to leave the city for a decisive battle, and quickly flattered him: "My lord is worthy of being a veteran general, he is the mainstay of our Qing Dynasty, and the strategy of delaying time is the most appropriate."

    In Man Dahai's heart, he was always thinking about the rear.

    If the son was defeated and the city was captured by the Datong army, then the retreat route to the northeast would be blocked.  Even, the Datong army came along the river valley and arrived at Jiefan City from the northeast, and Jiefan City became a turtle in an urn.

    Man Dahai suddenly had an idea. He said: "Send more scouts and go northeast along the Hun River. Don't reveal your whereabouts. Once we find Nanmanzi, we will set up an ambush halfway. The number of Nanmanzi who circled from the north  It’s definitely not much, let’s eat that all the way first.”

    Ai Xing Azan said: "This is the secret technique of Emperor Taizu. Let him come a few ways, and I will go all the way!"

    Man Dahai immediately sent scouts, but on this day,

    He came from Gule City in the southeast on a fast horse: "My lord, there is a secret report that Hetuala is gone!"

    "Hetuala is gone?"

    Man Dahai and Aixinga looked at each other.

    The main force of Saerhu's Datong Army is just west of Jiefan City.  The cavalry division was attacking in the northeast of Jiefan City.

    As for Hetuala, in the southeast of Jiefan City, there is only one passage, that is, the Datong Army starts from Yahuguan Pass and goes all the way through the fortress.  It is not easy for the army to travel there, at most there are thousands of partial divisions, and it will take a lot of time to break through many fortresses along the way.  Moreover, Hetuala still has an army. Although throwing two or three thousand people to guard the pass, it can block tens of thousands of Datong troops.

    What do you mean it's gone?

    Man Dahai asked: "How many enemy troops captured the city?

    The messenger shook his head: "I don't know."

    &p; The Tartar officer said: "There is no well in the fort, so we have to go down the mountain to fetch water. Some people couldn't stand it, and people outside the village kept persuading them to surrender, saying that your majesty and the queen mother are dead, and I died early in the morning So,  Some clansman opened the door and surrendered, and the Nanmanzi took the opportunity to rush into the village."

    Man Dahai jumped anxiously: "Take Marton back quickly!"

    Maldun is not only a fortress, uu reading &lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;</  a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a>  A checkpoint is a must for the Tartars to break through.

    On the side of Hetuala, at least there is a wide and flat area. Even if the Datong army occupies the city, the Tartar army can still walk around the city.

    But if Marton is lost, he can't get around it even if he wants to.

    If you insist on going around, you have to give up all your luggage and climb over the steep mountain wall.  Tens of thousands of people, abandoning their luggage, is tantamount to committing suicide on a hunger strike!

    Man Dahai couldn't wait any longer, he dropped his luggage and large troops, and marched with only a few thousand elites, trying to capture Marton by force.  If you can't attack, just wait to die. Sooner or later, the main force of the Datong Army will come, and then you will be blocked in the valley and face the enemy.

    "Commander, the Tartars are here."

    "Defend the stronghold!"

    After Yang Zhenqing occupied Maldun, the first thing he did was fetch water.  All the containers that can be found in the village are used to hold the water from the mountain, which can be drunk for at least half a month.

    Manda Hai led soldiers to kill him, blocked himself in the northwest of the fort, and assigned soldiers to climb to the southeast from the mountain wall.  In this way, Maldun was blocked and the drinking water in the village was cut off.

    He tried to attack, but it was ineffective, so he could only send someone back to urge him, and quickly pulled the artillery away to bombard the wall of the village.

    Yang Zhenqing's thousands of strange soldiers must defend the small stockade and block tens of thousands of enemy troops for more than ten days.  Only in this way can the main force of the Tartars be blocked, waiting for the main force of the friendly forces to come to encircle them.

    In fact, Mandahai chose to break out from the northeast, and the situation is not too far away. They will be blocked by the cavalry division.

 Text 689【Active attack】

    At the foot of Saerhu Mountain, the generals of the Datong Army are having a meeting in the camp.

    The coach Li Zheng said: "The Tatar scouts suddenly disappeared, and I have sent scouts to Jiefan City to investigate. Tell me,

    Could this be a trick to lure the enemy, trying to lure our army over to set up an ambush?  "

    "Very likely," Lu Xiangsheng nodded and said, "The Eight Banners Army of the Tartars had more than half of their elite casualties a few years ago, and our army captured countless horses and armor. No matter how many cubs are born in the Tartars' pastures, there will be births in a short period of time."  There won’t be so many war horses to make up for it. No matter how fast the Tatar’s ordnance works, they won’t be able to knock out tens of thousands of armor in a few years. They lack horses and armor, and dare not fight our army decisively, so they will definitely find ways to set up an ambush.”

    Hu Dinggui smiled and said: "No matter how you set up an ambush, there is only one main road. If there is a real fight, send enough search teams,

    Tartars can be found no matter how well hidden they are.  "

    Xiao Zongxian said: "We still have to continue to besiege Sarhu. If Sarhu is not captured, it will be difficult to attack Jiefan City and Gule City. I guess, the Tatars are just delaying time until the snow blocks the mountains and waits for our withdrawal.  "

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "If the enemy general has brains, he will definitely procrastinate. Our army must wait until the cavalry division succeeds in the attack and kills the rear of Jiefan City, then we will try to attack again."

    This is the reason why the Datong Army has not sent troops for a long time. Everyone wants to destroy the Manchus, but it is difficult to fight because of the terrain.

    Saarhu City, Jiefan City, Gule City, three mountain cities are blocked here.

    As early as the Wang Guo era, Gule City was the core city of Jianzhou Jurchen, and it was expanded and strengthened time after time.  And Jiefan City and Sarhu City, which were the capitals of Nurhachi, also continued to expand and strengthen.

    To be honest, the Datong Army mobilized nearly 100,000 people this time, and there is no certainty that they will wipe out the Manchus.

    The lowest goal of this battle is to take down Saarhu City, and then attack Jiefan City in the coming year.

    Li Zheng said: "If you can't besiege the city and fight for reinforcements, you have to attack Sarhu by force. This battle must end before it snows."

    ?Forcibly attacking a dangerous mountain city is nothing more than filling it with human lives.

    "Da da da da!"

    The scouts rode back and galloped back. After being allowed to enter the command tent, they actively reported: "Generals, Jiefan City is empty, and the Tartars in Jiefan City have left! There are traces of a large army marching along the way, and the Tartars did not go to the northeast.  Hunhe River Valley, but going southeast, it is estimated that it is going back to Jianzhou (Hetuala).”

    Surprised and delighted, Li Zheng stood up and said, "Go and investigate Gule City immediately!"

    The scout said: "A brother has already gone."

    Not long after, another scout came back and reported: "Gule City is also empty, there is not a single Tartar in the city."

    Several generals looked at each other in blank dismay, wondering what the Tartars were up to.

    If the Tartars stick to it, the two mountain cities will have to sacrifice the lives of Datong soldiers to bite the bullet and take them down.  Happiness came so suddenly that the Tatars abandoned the city on their own initiative, which made them feel unbelievable.

    Li Zheng said: "Send troops to occupy the two cities immediately!"

    Encountering this situation, the goal of this campaign has been achieved.  After occupying Gule City and Jiefan City, Sarhu became an isolated city, and there was no need to besiege it at all. The food in the city was completely eaten and starved to death.

    Lu Xiangsheng asked suspiciously: "Is there any accident in Jianzhou? The main force of the Tartars rushed to the rescue."

    Hu Dinggui said: "There is only the independent regiment over there. Even if Yang Zhenqing breaks through the fortresses along the way and fights all the way to the city of Jianzhou, the Tartars don't need to abandon the city to return to aid."

    "Could it be the Tartars fighting among themselves?" Xiao Zongxian guessed.

    Li Zheng shook his head: "It's not like internal fighting, the Tartars went too united, and none of them stayed. If it was really an internal fighting between the Tartars, some Tartars must have defected here, instead of abandoning the city and leaving."

    These big guys racked their brains,

    I can't figure it out.

    Let them think for three days and three nights, and they will never guess that Yang Zhenqing has already taken Hetuala.

    Because, that's too unreal. Li Zheng said again: "Are the Tartars trying to lure the enemy to go deep, abandoning the two cities as bait, luring our army to pursue them, and then laying an ambush halfway?"

    Hu Dinggui laughed and said: "If this is the case, if we don't pursue them, wouldn't we pick up two cities in vain? Jiefan and Gule are lost, and Sarhu City will disappear sooner or later. The Tartars are killing themselves. The Tartars are afraid.  Not that stupid."

    "That's not true, then it's not, why did the Tartars abandon the city?" Xiao Zongxian became more and more confused by the words.

    Hu Dinggui said: "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. What matters now is whether you should pursue it or not."

    Li Zheng still had the calm personality: "It's better not to chase after him, occupy the two cities of Jiefan and Gule, and then besiege Sarhu with all his strength. ?"More than 700 independent regiment fighters took the initiative to attack more than 1,600 Tartars.  Up to now, no soldier has been damaged, and the enemy has been killed crying and running for his life.

    After chasing all the way down the mountain, some Tartars jumped into the Suzi River to escape, and some Tartars fled along the river bank to Hetuala.

    ? Yang Zhenqing went back to the village happily, rested for half an hour, and then stood up suddenly: "Leave a hundred people to guard the gate of the southern village.

    The rest follow me to kill through the North Village Gate!  "

    This time there were more than 1,100 people, and more than 3,000 people rushed towards the Mandahai.

    Man Dahai knew that something was wrong, so he withdrew after a long distance, all the way down the mountain, waiting for Yang Zhenqing to come to die.

    "It's boring, let's go back to the village." Yang Zhenqing didn't dare to chase any more, so he just fought on the steep mountain road, and he couldn't get anything cheap by going down the mountain.

    ? In fact, Yang Zhenqing was also guilty. He led his troops to attack Hetuala by surprise, and he did not carry much ammunition with him.  The ammunition of the whole army is on the side of the large army, and it will take a day or two before the large army can come from Hetuala City with ammunition and supplies for reinforcements.

    If the large troops do not come, the ammunition in their hands will only be able to fire another 20 or 30 shots per person.

    Man Dahai is also waiting, waiting for Ai Xing'a to quickly bring the cannon.

    The wall here is not very strong, it can collapse in half a day, and then he will kill Yang Zhenqing with his own hands.

 Text 690【The end of the road】

    Ai Xing'a threw down the luggage, the old and the weak, women and children, and led thousands of people to march quickly, risking loading cannons on board, and going upstream along the Suzi River.

    Some parts of the Suzi River are turbulent, and many rafting projects have been developed hundreds of years later.

    Coincidentally, the river section near Maldun is very turbulent.  Maldun is built on a high mountain, the river is under the cliff, and the mountains on both sides stand tall,

    The height drop of the river bed is very large.

    ? To transport guns by boat, one must not only row the boat, but also pull the fiber on the shore.

    Hurry up and hurry up, one of the Tarzi's artillery ships capsized on the way.  Time was running out, and he didn't bother to salvage. Ai Xing'a landed west of Mardun, and then rushed into the battlefield with cannons.

    It's a pity that there are no defensive artillery on the stone walls of Fort Marton at this time, and they were all removed to the main battlefield before.

    Yang Zhenqing could only helplessly, watching the enemy artillery advance.

    "You can't be beaten passively, you have to fight out!" Yang Zhenqing said to the soldiers under his command.

    Five hundred people were left to guard the stockade, and Yang Zhenqing led the remaining hundreds of people to fight out.

    Manchu cannons are being slowly carried up the mountain.  In front of the artillery, there are more than 300 Tazi soldiers, which are used to cover the artillery from surprise attacks.

    These more than 300 Tartar soldiers were all the few Huotong troops in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    The mountain road is narrow and not too many people can stand.

    Seeing that Yang Zhenqing led troops out, the Eight Banners Army stopped advancing immediately.  More than 300 Tartar gunfire soldiers lined up at the front, but they were feinting, and the front row would block the shooting angle of the back row.  Even if a few Tazi soldiers squatted in the front row, only the second row could shoot normally.

    On the side of the Datong Army, the situation is just the opposite, condescending, and several rows in front can shoot.

    "Bang bang bang!

    Don't talk nonsense when you meet, both sides open fire directly.

    More than a dozen Tartar gunfire soldiers fell, and only one soldier from the independent regiment was shot.

    "Change the fire!"

    The Datong Army, which was unable to shoot in the back row, quickly passed the firecrackers filled with ammunition to the front, and fired a second burst at an extremely fast speed.

    On the Manchu side, this cannot be done.

    Because the firecrackers of the Tartars are still arquebus guns.

    Matchlock guns need to stand scattered when shooting, and the width of the battlefield is seriously insufficient.  On the narrow mountain road, it is even more embarrassing. Only three or four people can stand in a row, while the Datong Army can stand in a row with seven or eight people.  And fearing that the entanglement of the matchlock would get in the way, the firecrackers always wrapped the matchlock around themselves,

    It is very troublesome to pass the firecracker out.

    Due to the disadvantages of terrain and firearms, the Tartar firearms can only be beaten passively.

    More than 60 people fell down one after another. The front row of the Tartar firearms finally couldn't bear it anymore, and they shouted and asked to retreat to the foot of the mountain first.

    Man Dahai and Aixing are both behind at the moment, and they can't see the battle ahead at all.

    Man Dahai felt that something was wrong, so he pushed himself forward.  He passed the artillery unit with difficulty, almost climbing over the barrel, and finally understood what happened to his gunmen.

    "The Huozhu Battalion will hold on, and the rest of the troops will slowly retreat down the mountain." Man Dahai made a decisive decision and quickly issued an order.  If the fight continues like this, the whole army will collapse on the mountain road, and they can only use the lives of the gunfire soldiers to gain time to retreat down the mountain.

    This attack by the Tartars obviously failed again.

    More than 300 Tartar gunfire soldiers were almost wiped out.  Only a few dozen people were killed by bullets, and the rest of the Tartar gunfire soldiers died in the pursuit when they were allowed to withdraw.

    "On the bayonet, kill!"

    Man Dahai waited for the artillery to retreat, and then blew the horn to signal that the gunfire soldiers could withdraw.  These Tartars, who had been beaten all the time, scrambled to turn around and run for their lives, and were chased and stabbed randomly by Yang Zhenqing's troops.

    In this battle, the independent regiment had 3 dead and 8 wounded, killed more than 300 Tartar soldiers, and picked up many ammunition bags by touching the corpses.

    Back down the mountain, Man Dahai's face was gloomy.

    The wall of Maldun really couldn't stand the bombardment.  But if you want to use the cannon, you must push the cannon to a certain height, otherwise the ghost knows where the cannonball can hit.

    "Where's the car?" Man Dahai asked.

    Ai Xing'a replied: "The chariots are still on the road, and there are not many of them."

    These Tartars abandoned the city for the purpose of breaking through quickly. Of course, it was impossible to bring all the heavy chariots with them.

    Man Dahai said: "When Taizu attacked Mardun, he was still unable to defeat him. In the end, he blocked the descending passages on both sides and cut off the drinking water in the village, so that the enemies in the village were forced to surrender. But we can't wait, in case the village  If the water has been stored in the water for more than ten days, the Nanmanzi behind will catch up.: "There is no way to fight. Abandon the luggage, each person takes some food with him, and go all the way to the north of the ravine, as much as he can get out alive."

    Behind them, there are indeed several ravines in the north, but after the ravines are completed, they have to climb over the mountains, and it is impossible for the army to take away the supplies.

    Ai Xing'a said: "If we don't set up an ambush in the ravine, maybe the enemy will rush in and we will win again."

    "I can only give it a try." Man Dahai expressed no hope for this.

    Datong Army is not Da Ming's army, even if they set up an ambush and win a game, it is impossible to defeat all the main forces of Datong Army.

    Man Dahai missed the time when he fought with the Ming army. The Ming army killed tens of thousands of people. As long as the Eight Banners army defeated one of them, the rest of the Ming army would take the initiative to flee.  Moreover, when the Eight Banners Army attacked a part of the Ming Army, other units of the Ming Army rarely took the initiative to rescue, and the Eight Banners Army could move around the battlefield calmly.

    The Datong Army is different, each department is like a mad dog.  Don't just sit back and watch the friendly army be attacked, even if the Eight Banners Army doesn't provoke it, the Datong Army will take the initiative to attack.

    "The whole army retreats into the mountains." Man Dahai ordered helplessly.

    They went back the same way and joined most of the Tartars. With the old, the weak, the sick, and the luggage, they plunged into the valley to the north.

    It was a dead end, only a few miles long, and there were mountains beyond.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 691 [The startled bird]

    Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 691 Thousands of dragoons galloped along the Suzi River Valley in pursuit.

    There are sentry riders in front of them exploring the way. These sentry riders stopped at the exit of a ravine.  Continue to the east, in the direction of Maldun.  Turning the road to the north, it is to drill into an unknown ravine.

    The sentinels were a little puzzled, because there were traces left by the Tartar army in both directions.

    They divided into two groups, continued to inquire east and north, and at the same time sent people back to report.

    "Maybe the Tartars got into the ravine?"

    Lin Zhidong was very confused when he received the news. If the Tartars don't continue to go east, why are they drilling the ravine?

    Could it be that they want to ambush in the ravine?

    But if you plan to ambush, you should spend time cleaning up the traces. How can the scouts of the Datong Army know it at a glance?

    Lin Zhidong really couldn't figure it out, and while continuing to move forward, he sent someone back to report to the main force.

    After continuing to run for more than ten miles, a scout on a horse ran back quickly, and said happily: "The independent regiment captured Hetuala and blocked Mardun. The Tartars have nowhere to go, so they can only go into the ravine!"

    "What did you say?"

    Lin Zhidong quickly recalled the military map, the more he thought about it, the more outrageous he felt, and he couldn't figure out how Yang Zhenqing used troops.

    The scout said: "The Independent Regiment set out from Crowful Pass and surrendered several Tartar fortresses one after another. One of the fortresses refused to surrender. Commander Yang ordered most of them to set up camp, pretending to storm the fortress.  Mountain.

    After finishing the food on the way, he was hungry and made a surprise attack on Jianzhou, taking Jianzhou City in one fell swoop.  The puppet empress dowager and the emperor all fled in haste.  Commander Yang made some corrections, and then marched westward to capture Mardun, completely blocking the retreat of the Tartars' main force!  "

    Lin Zhidong was speechless for a long time, and finally muttered: "This guy is a lunatic for fighting. If the Tartars in Jianzhou City stick to it, all the people he leads will starve to death."

    Lin Zhidong sent someone back to report the news, and then ordered: "Follow me to chase the Tartars, be careful in ambush!"

    Man Dahai originally wanted to set up an ambush in the ravine, eat up a group of Datong army's pursuers, and at the same time boost the morale of the Eight Banners army while venting his anger.  Then they burned the luggage that could not be taken away, and the whole army fled for their lives over the mountains.

    However, he couldn't suppress the morale of the army anymore, and a group of Eight Banners nobles ran for their lives immediately.

    "If you don't go, I'll go!"

    Fratta roared loudly: "Suzi River Valley, there are Nanmanzi on both sides. You still want to set up an ambush here? Even if you win a game, so what? If you go one day late, you will be caught up by the main force of the Nanmanzi!"

    Fratta is the fourth son of Jierharang's eighth younger brother. It is impossible for him to inherit the title of Prince Jane due to the twists and turns.

    But he is the successor to Prince Jane, because all the heirs ahead of him were killed or captured during the battle with the Datong army.  Judging from the succession of the Manchu nobles, we know how much talent withers, and the more battle-tested, the earlier they die.

    "Stop!" Man Dahai scolded.

    Fratta was not afraid at all, turned around and said: "You are the newly named Prince Li, this title is unclear. I am the serious Prince Jane, and you have no right to order me. I want to take my cow record with me.  Follow my people, and immediately flee for your life across the mountains. If you dare to stop, I will fight with you!"

    Man Dahai looked at the other nobles and was instantly disappointed.

    Fu Lata returned to his camp and immediately ordered: "No gold, silver or treasure is needed. Everyone should bring food, as much as they can. If you can't take it away, burn it all!"

    ?Prince Chengze Shuosai bowed his hands to Man Dahai with the Han ceremony: "It's about the lives of the clansmen, so I'm leaving too."

    One by one, the Manchu nobles announced their departure one after another, unwilling to set up an ambush with Man Dahai.

    People's hearts have long since dispersed.

    After a while, thick smoke billowed in the ravine, but it was burning the luggage that could not be taken away.

    At this moment, the dragoons led by Lin Zhidong had just chased to the entrance of the ravine.

    Seeing the thick smoke inside, Lin Zhidong immediately came to his senses: "The Tartars are going to flee, they are burning food!" Then he said, "Don't rush forward, it may be a trick of the Tartars to lure the enemy!

    These dragoons were only chasing the enemy's vanguard, and they didn't dare to confront tens of thousands of Tartars head-on.

    When Lin Zhidong was extremely cautious and led his troops to chase to the end of the ravine, he saw only burning supplies all over the ground, as well as the old, weak, sick and disabled abandoned by the Tartars.

    Lin Zhidong managed to catch a young man from the Tartars, and asked the soldiers who could speak Manchu, "Where is the main force of the Tartars?"

    "Over the mountain and left." Qing Zhuang replied.

    "Why didn't you leave?" Lin Zhidong asked.

    Qing Zhuang raised his hands, both thumbs are gone, this is when Hu Dinggui raided Haizhou.fall down.

    "ah!"

    Fratta fled for his life across mountains and mountains, and even took his maid with him. At this moment, the maid screamed in fright.

    Shuo Sai chopped off the maid, and the few people he brought also killed Fratta's soldiers one after another.  With mental calculations and unintentional calculations, Fratta's soldiers were caught off guard and unable to organize an attack at all.  I didn't even understand what happened, and I was so scared that I just ran for my life.

    "woo woo woo woo!"

    Shuo Sai blew the horn, and all the ambushes on the periphery came out, and the soldiers chasing Fu Rata began to massacre.

    Everyone cut off a head, then began to gather slowly, and followed Shuo Sai down the mountain to join the Datong Army.

    "Have the southern barbarians been killed?"

    Man Dahai was awakened by the sound of horns and shouts of killing.

    It is far away here, so I don't know the situation, and Man Dahai's soldiers don't know what to ask.

    The rest of the Manchu nobles were also terrified, thinking that the Datong army had come to kill them.  No matter three seven twenty one,

    Sa Yazi ran away, and the mountains and plains were full of messy Tartars, and many people didn't even have time to take away the only food they had.

    "My lord, run away, the barbarians are coming!"

    Not long after, the chaotic situation spread to Mandahai, and they still don't know that Shuo Sai took the lead in turning back the water.

    Man Dahai couldn't find out the truth, so he could only flee with his troops, and he didn't stop until the next morning.

    Tens of thousands of Tartars ran away at night and became dozens of groups in the mountains. Only after Man Dahai ordered the blowing of the trumpet did they gradually gather.  But many low-level Tartars did not want to come to meet again, and hid scattered food with them. They planned to hunt and farm in the mountains in the future.

    As for Man Dahai, I don't know where to retreat.

    He planned to go back to the mouth of Meihei River first. If it was occupied by the Datong Army, he could only lead his troops to Heilongjiang.

 Text 692 [Savage Jurchens Rise]

    Wang Tingchen led a cavalry division and quickly rushed to the outside of Jiemu City. Looking at the Tiebei Mountain, the national flag and military flag fluttering in the wind, Wang Tingchen was a little dumbfounded: "This will bring down Jiefan City? Damn it, let's do it in vain.  ran for a trip!"

    Let the whole army camp and rest on the spot, Wang Tingchen took Wang Yaochen, and rode to meet the friendly generals defending the city.

    When I met a checkpoint on the way, I realized that most of the troops defending the city were peasants and soldiers accompanying the army, and there were only a thousand or so regular troops.

    Some of the main force of the Datong Army continued to besiege Sarhu, and some had already gone to Gule City.

    "The Tartars here are really not beaten," Wang Tingchen complained, "We have gnawed all the hard bones, and the cavalry division suffered heavy casualties. I don't know how much credit can be given."

    Wang Yaochen said: "Your Majesty knows the soldiers, you must understand."

    Although the cavalry division led by the second king only captured a small town, it wiped out the remaining elite infantry of the Tartars and blocked the passage for the Tartars to evacuate from the northeast.

    In terms of its merits, it is second only to Yang Zhenqing's independent regiment.

    After the two discussed a few words, Wang Yaochen went back to the camp to manage the troops, and Wang Tingchen rode to Gule City for a meeting.

    Riding their horses all the way, they finally came to the outside of Gule City, only to see the main force of the Datong Army moving again.

    Seeing the joy of the whole army, Wang Tingchen stopped an officer: "Where is this going?"

    The officer saw Wang Tingchen's badge clearly, and hurriedly saluted with arms crossed: "To teach the general to know that the independent regiment has won the battle. It not only captured Jianzhou City, but also occupied Mardun. The Tartars can't advance or retreat by the Suzi River.  The second time was to encircle and wipe out the main force of the Tartars."

    "The independent groupis that Yang Zhenqing?" Wang Tingchen exclaimed.

    "It's Commander Yang." The officer said with a smile.

    "Okay, go now," Wang Tingchen sent the officer away, muttering in a low voice, "Go to his mother, I rushed to the mouth of Meihei River, I thought I had fought a good battle. The grandson of Yang Zhenqing actually took the capital of the Tartars."  Yes, his ghost name really changed correctly."

    Riding across the marching troops, Wang Tingchen soon saw the coach Li Zheng: "Captain, the cavalry division Wang Tingchen is here to see you!"

    Seeing that Wang Tingchen was a little surprised, Li Zheng asked, "Did you penetrate the Hunhe River in the northeast?"

    Wang Tingchen said: "All the Tartar infantry left behind by Mandahai were wiped out, butthe cavalry division suffered heavy casualties when they attacked the city."

    With the sentence "heavy casualties", Li Zheng already understood the situation. This must have been caused by the cavalry dismounting and storming the city.

    He sighed, "Thank you for your hard work."

    "What should be done is not considered hard work." Wang Tingchen replied.

    Li Zheng said: "The cavalry division suffered a lot of casualties, and after rushing all the way here, I think it is exhausted. I won't bother you for the rest of the battle. The whole division should take a good rest."

    "yes!"

    Wang Tingchen can only accept opinions, because most of the encirclement and annihilation battles will be carried out on the banks of the Suzi River.  The flat land along the river is very narrow, and there are too many soldiers but they can't line up. There is really no need to bring the tired cavalry division.

    "Da da da da!"

    "Urgent report, urgent report!"

    Two dragoons came on fast horses and found Li Zheng to report the news: "Captain, the Tartars burned the luggage and ran north over the mountain!"

    Li Zheng was both happy and angry. What he was happy about was that there would be no more casualties for the soldiers, and the Tartars would be finished if they escaped like this.  What was angry was that the Tatars would rather risk starvation to death than fight a decisive battle with the Datong army. Some of the Tartars must have escaped, but the Wang courtiers became excited: "Commander, the general will lead the troops to chase immediately!"

    Li Zheng said: "Together with the dragoons."

    Man Dahai abandoned his luggage and fled northward through the mountains. Where could he escape?  After digging out of the mountain, he must reach the bank of the Hun River, which is the closest and most convenient escape route.

    That is to say, Wang Tingchen's cavalry division can return along the original route of the attack route, and there is a certain chance of bumping into the remnants of the Tartars who came out of the mountain.

    Immediately, Wang Tingchen took the rest of the dragoons and rushed back to Jiefan City, gathered his own cavalry division, and chased along the banks of the Hun River.

    Lu Xiangsheng rode over to ask Li Zheng, "What's the military situation?"

    "I was about to inform General Lu," Li Zheng said with a smile, "The Tartars burned their luggage and fled northward over the mountains. I have ordered the cavalry to pursue them along the Hun River."

    Lu Xiangsheng said with emotion: "The Tartars were really gutted. Tens of thousands of troops even burned their luggage and fled. They didn't even dare to resist stubbornly."

    Li Zheng said: "I plan to lead my troops to Sarhu, and together with General Xiao there, concentrate our forces to take down Sarhu City."

    "That's exactly the reason." Lu Xiangsheng agreed.

    Two days later, a Sinicized Jurchen soldier came with empty hands??Da Yuer of Sinology, uu reading <a href="http://www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a> relied on Da Yuer's promotion all the way to the top, but was unexpectedly  Throw it to Saarhu to assist Murima in defending the city. Moreover, Tuhai is in charge of Saarhu's logistics, and it is Da Yuer's eyeliner to guard Murima!

    "You take someone to chop Tuhai!" Murima said to her confidant.

    Tu Hai has always been very cautious, aware of the change, and immediately said: "Dedicate the city in advance, set fire to the house, and open the city gate!"

    Setting fire is a signal. The non-Jianzhou military officers who secretly connected with each other will turn back immediately when they see the fire, and those near the city gate will open the gate.

    In this way, before Li Zheng, Lu Xiangsheng and others really started to attack, the dazi in Saerhu City started fighting by themselves.

    Savage Jurchen, against Jianzhou Jurchen!

    The territory of the Savage Jurchen is too far away. Those who can become the Eight Banners Army have already moved south with their families, and it is impossible for them to rebel against the Qing Dynasty like the Haixi Jurchen.  Because the Haixi Jurchen can easily escape back to their ancestral land, the savage Jurchen can't run that far.

    They did not dare to rebel against the Qing Dynasty before, because the price of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty was too high.

    Today, not only is there no price for turning against the water, but it can even save one's life, and one can even avenge one's ancestors.

    "Kill the dog!"

    The savage Jurchen held a weapon, roaring and rushed towards the nearby Jianzhou Jurchen.  The Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers did not expect this encounter at all, and were caught off guard for a while.

    "Siege!"

    With the emergence of the Datong Army, there is no suspense in the battle.

    Tuhai, a man who was born as a civil servant, was wearing cotton armor and carrying a waist knife, and led his subordinates to occupy the east gate.

    Hearing the footsteps of the Datong army, Tu Hai shouted excitedly: "Wait for a while, the heavenly soldiers of the Han family are about to enter the city!

    ().

    &lt;/div&gt

 Text 693 [Grenadier with Warhammer]

    Early morning.

    Murima, covered in blood, stood on the wall of the inner city of Sarhu, and angrily scolded Tuhai outside: "You traitor, the goddess will punish you and kill you!"

    Tuhai smiled and said: "The goddess only cares about Changbai Mountain, and I come from Beishan (outside Xing'an Mountains)."

    In the Jurchen mythology, the three sisters from heaven and earth descended to the earth to take a bath in Lake Buer.  The youngest fairy,

    After eating the vermilion fruit sent by the sparrow, she became pregnant and gave birth to Bucuri, the ancestor of the Jurchens.

    In fact, this legend comes from the Heilongjiang River Basin and has a certain influence throughout the Northeast.

    Huang Taiji's contribution to the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not only about all-round reforms, but also bringing the Manchu Qing regime back to life.  He even forcibly shaped the "Manchu". He ordered people to forcibly merge with the ancestors of Aixinjueluo according to myths and legends.  The full name of Kuburi, the son of the goddess, the ancestor of Jurchen, and the mythical hero, has also become "Aixinjueluo Kuburi".

    Whether it is the Jianzhou Jurchen, the Haixi Jurchen, or some savage Jurchen, they are all descendants of Kubri, the son of the goddess.

    The Aixinjueluo family is the direct descendant of Kubli.  Other Jueluo families, such as Irgenjueluo and Shushujueluo, are offshoots of Kubri.  The Jurchen, whose surname is not Jueluo, is a descendant of Kubri who has a distant blood relationship.

    Since they all have the same ancestor, they belong to the same race, called "Manchu"!

    The concept of Manchu, under Huang Taiji's deliberate propaganda, has gradually become the consensus of more and more Jurchens.  If they keep winning in the military, then the fake Manchus will also become real Manchus, and finally become a real nation.

    Murima was so angry at this time that she cursed Tuhai in the name of a goddess.

    Last night, Tuhai led his troops to dedicate the city. In the chaos, Murima abandoned the outer city and hurriedly fled to the inner city to defend.

    Now that the sky is bright, the Datong army has already occupied the outer city.

    In the inner city guarded by Murima, there are only more than a thousand Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers left, and there are many soldiers' families.

    The inner city of Sarhu is in the shape of a diamond. The west wall is directly surrounded by river bank cliffs, and the east wall is made of rammed earth along the ridge. The inner city covers an area of ??about 1,200 mu of land.

    Hu Dinggui's troops have dispersed to take over and occupy Hetuala, Mardun, Jiefan City and Gule City.  At this moment, Li Zheng, Lu Xiangsheng, and Xiao Zongxian each led their troops to besiege three city walls, only the west city wall next to the cliff did not invest any troops.

    "All those who can move in the inner city, come and defend the city!"

    Murima called the old, weak, women and children, and said to them: "The Han people are very cruel. These southern barbarians will kill us all when they break the city wall. If you don't want to die, you should try your best to defend the city!"

    The events of last night have scared the Tartars out of their wits.  If it weren't for the fear of being killed if they surrendered, it is estimated that even the officers and soldiers would surrender.

    After being intimidated by Murima, the remaining Tartars mustered up their courage and refused to listen to the Datong Army's persuasion to surrender.

    Standing on the inner city wall, ready to die to defend.

    "Stubborn!"

    Among the generals from Huangjia Town, Li Zheng is the one who likes to learn the most.  Over the years, he has mastered the Four Books. He likes to learn from Guan Yu and read "Spring and Autumn". He also specially invites his husband to give him lectures.

    The outer city wall is not easy to bombard, but it is easier to assume a fort if you want to bombard the inner city wall.

    The artillery of several divisions was lifted to the south and fired at the south wall

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Murima transferred the only few cannons in the inner city, all of which were set up on the south wall, and confronted the artillery of the Datong Army. After a day, the Datong Army lost four artillery pieces and nine artillerymen were killed or injured.

    Continue the next day.

    The bombardment lasted until the fifth day. The Datong Army lost a total of 13 artillery pieces, and more than 30 artillerymen were killed or wounded. Finally, the southern city wall was blown down.

    "Siege!"

    Li Zheng ordered.

    In this broken place, the ladder with hooks and baffles is difficult to move forward normally.  Datong soldiers held large wooden shields to block arrows in the front row, while the soldiers in the back row carried ladders to cover them.

    The attacking troops at the gap were all melee infantry wearing three layers of armor.

    Attack on three sides.

    Some of the women and children of the Tartars went up to the city wall, and some stayed in the city to carry supplies.

    Gold juice, hot oil, etc., were originally stored in the outer city, and they are no longer needed at this time.  Only in the past few days of shelling, the freshly pulled out feces and urine were boiled into golden juice and poured down. Tartar archers shot arrows down, Tartar spearmen overturned ladders vigorously, and Tartar women and children lifted the golden juice and poured it down.

    "ah!"

    The hot golden juice is poured on the Datong army who attacked the city, even if it is not enough.nbsp; Even though the cotton armor counteracted the force, Murima was still in excruciating pain, feeling like the bones on her shoulder were about to shatter.

    The bones are not broken, and cotton armor is more conducive to defending against blunt weapons than iron armor.

    When Murima made the second cut, the warhammer swept over.  He quickly leaned back, avoiding the temple, but the cheekbone was hit by the hammer.

    This time the bones were really broken, half of the face collapsed, and one eyeball was smashed forward.

    Murima's mind was dizzy, and her eyes were blank, but she still didn't faint, and barely supported her body so that she didn't fall down.

    "Boom!"

    The third hammer swung and hit Murima on the forehead, probably all the brains inside were broken.

    Murima collapsed and went to the underworld to meet his brother Aobai.

    Once the Tartar general dies, the frying pan will be fried instantly here.

    Some Tartars rushed desperately like crazy.  Some Tartars turned around and fled, even throwing away their weapons.

    The bombers who rushed in first did not continue to chase and kill them. They still remembered their mission.  One after another, they fought from the inside of the city to the top of the city wall, cooperating with the friendly troops who climbed the city, and attacked the dazi on the city wall back and forth.

    The enraged Datong soldiers didn't care about the old, the weak, women and children, they only knew that there were enemies in the city.

    Sometimes, they don't even care about surrendering, and continue to attack Dazi who is kneeling and begging for mercy.  In this case, the military regulations are useless, and the rigid use of military laws will not be conducive to the future management of the army.

    Tu Hai, who was covered in wounds, also led the soldiers to attack the city wall at this moment.  This guy was even more ruthless. He led his troops to chase all the way into the city, and he would make up for the wounded Tartars who could not move.

    The Tartars in the city, including the old and the weak, women and children, probably would not survive a few.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 694 [News from the Cossacks]

    ,

    In the mountains between the Suzi River and the Hun River, the tribe led by Man Dahai has lost more than half of its staff.

    Not all starved to death, nor all fell to death.

    As they walked, some people deliberately left behind and hid in a ravine somewhere, planning to live in the mountains from now on.  These people are all low-level Tazi soldiers, and their family members have not fled together, so they are not willing to transfer with the Manchu nobles.

    Man Dahai was unable to suppress the deserters, because there were high mountains and dense forests along the way, let alone one or two missing, even if they hid hundreds or thousands, it would be impossible to find them in a short while.

    Cross over a mountain, walk through a ravine, and turn over another mountain This is the way the Tartars turn.

    "ah!"

    There was a scream, and someone stumbled and rolled down the hillside.

    Tartar, who had already descended the mountain, walked over to check the situation.  It was found that this person had a broken arm and many bruises all over his body, so he reached out to grab the other person's food.

    "Please, save some for me" the injured Tartar begged bitterly, turning over to protect his grain bag.

    Another Tartar came over, and the two of them robbed grain together and divided the looted grain equally.

    One after another, the Tartars passed by here, and no one went to help the injured.  Occasionally, a Tartar came over and saw that the soles of this person's shoes were worn out, so he turned away without any interest.

    Now the food has not been eaten, and if it continues, it will not only be as simple as grabbing food.

    "My lord, I hunted a wild boar!"

    "Okay, there is a reward, credit!"

    Another Tartar officer came over and said to Man Dahai: "My lord, follow this ravine and go northward to Mucao Ridge. Mucao Ridge is not far from Hun River."

    Man Dahai shook his head: "Walking along the Hun River, you may encounter Nanmanzi. Choose the best mountain in front of you, and go straight to the east. I remember that near the south entrance, there is a big ditch running from east to west. That big ditch stretches for several  Ten miles, it is easy to pass, and there are villages along the way, where you can get some food.

    Man Dahai's decision successfully avoided the cavalry division.  If he went all the way north and happened to collide with the cavalry division, Wang Tingchen would have galloped after him.

    This guy has been hiding in the mountains, but the Datong cavalry is completely blinded, and he is not even sure where the tartar has gone.

    Three days later, more than 26,000 Tatars came to the big ditch that Man Dahai said.

    This is the area under the jurisdiction of the Zhengbai Banner. After Dorgon died, it was brought under the rule of the Qing emperor by Dayuer.

    Man Dahai said: "The clansmen in the villages along the way must go with them, and those who don't want to go will be killed directly!"

    At this moment, they have very little food left.  The Tazi soldiers rushed into the village, saying that they were ordered to take away the people of Zhengbai Banner. In fact, they found all kinds of excuses to kill and rob food. Even if they were willing to go with them, they would be hacked to death if they were not careful.

    The Jianzhou Jurchens are killing and robbing their compatriots!

    The cavalry division led by Wang Tingchen and the chasing dragoons searched for the enemy everywhere along the Hun River, but they couldn't even see a ghost.

    "Damn it, where can the Tartars go?" Wang Tingchen said depressedly.

    Wang Yaochen said: "It is estimated that he is still hiding in the mountains."

    Wang Tingchen was both helpless and funny: "I'm afraid most of the Tartars will starve to death with this way of hiding. Their food should be finished."

    Wang Tingchen said: "It's really hateful. I would rather starve to death than let us find meritorious service."

    Damn it if they can find it, these Tartars are just going back to their old profession.  In the early and middle periods of the Ming Dynasty, the Tartars were no match for the Ming army, and they migrated through the valleys in the same way. After starving to death and freezing to death, the Tartars rose again after dozens of hundreds of years of reproduction.

    Weak and small strengths have their own way of survival.

    Take Vietnam as an example, the Yuan Dynasty attacked three times.  Every time they quickly attacked their capital city,

    ?Vietnamese civil and military leaders led the army and civilians to drill the ravine, and the king of Vietnam hid in the sea by boat.  When the weather was hot and they came out of the mountains to fight guerrillas, the Yuan army fell ill in large numbers because of their intolerance to the scorching heat.

    It was not until the Yuan Dynasty expedition to Japan that the typhoon caused heavy losses that it gave up the fourth conquest of Vietnam.

    When Zhu Yuanzhang fought in Vietnam, the same was true for the Vietnamese. The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs led the soldiers and civilians to drill the valley, and the Vietnamese king took a boat to hide in the sea.  When the weather was hot, they came out again to fight guerrillas, causing the Ming army to fall ill due to the intense heat.

    It's just that even though the Ming army suffered heavy casualties, they still firmly occupied the city and did not withdraw their troops, and even sent large troops to suppress the rebellion many times.

    Every time the Vietnamese drill a ravine, a large number of people will starve to death!

    When Man Dahai led his troops to the old place of Wang Jiabu, they died and fled, leaving only more than 10,000 people around.  which also includes theStepanov, who led the army to plunder Heilongjiang, was hailed as a hero who opened up new sea routes in Tsarist Russia.

    The Tsarist Russian government is discussing a troop dispatch plan, intending to build 40 ships each year in the next two years, and at the same time prepare the timber for building 60 ships.  These are inland river wooden boats, used to transport troops and supplies. Tsarist Russia wants to send 3,000 troops to completely conquer the Heilongjiang River Basin.

    ? In another time and space, because of the annexation of Ukraine by Tsarist Russia, it triggered a fierce conflict with Poland, and the relationship with Ottoman and Sweden deteriorated.

    The plan for an expedition of three thousand troops to Heilongjiang was abandoned.

    At the same time, the Cossack leader sent by Tsarist Russia to reward Stepanlov wanted to control the Cossack forces in the Heilongjiang River Basin.  The two Cossack leaders broke out in internal strife, which greatly weakened the Cossacks' combat effectiveness, and it was only then that the Eight Banners Army and the Korean soldiers seized the opportunity.

    Wang Tingchen said to the guide: "Tell this man that it is already snowing, and it is impossible to send troops at this time. We will wait until the snow melts in the spring."

    Songhua River and Heilongjiang are too far away, and Wang Tingchen has no choice but to go back and ask his superiors for instructions.

    In fact, he didn't take it seriously, it's just a group of robbers, why mobilize them?  If the bandits don't want to leave, just send hundreds of cavalry to wipe them out.

    After all, the Huerha tribe had offered Dongzhu to the emperor, so it should be right to help fight the robbers.

 Text 695 [Three kills]

    Da Yuer took the little emperor and fled in the direction of Tonghua.

    It's just that Da Yu'er escaped along the river valley all the way, without having to cross mountains and ridges.  Mandahai arrived in the mountainous area in the north of Tonghua, turned his way to the north to plunder, and then went around to Ninggu Pagoda.

    Da Yuer left in a hurry, not to mention soldiers, not even many eunuchs and court ladies.

    And run away at night, and run away as soon as you run away.  At dawn, besides the little emperor, there were only two Han eunuchs by her side.

    Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, there were eunuchs in reality, but there was no name of eunuch.

    To put it bluntly, it is to choose a loyal and obedient coat, and put it around after castration.  Not only the emperor used eunuchs, but Manchu princes also used eunuchs. This was taught by Nurhaci to the princes to prevent their wives and concubines from giving birth to their own cubs.

    Da Yuer's confidant eunuch, Yang Chengshun, is in his fifties and has been with Da Yuer for more than ten years.

    The other eunuch was a young man named Wu Liangfu, the playmate of Emperor Shunzhi, only two or three years older than the little emperor.

    "Empress Dowager, let's eat something."

    The old eunuch Yang Chengshun knelt on the ground, took out pancakes from his bosom, held them and offered them: "This is what the servants brought when they left the palace. Now that the palace servants are separated, the queen mother can only be wronged to eat this kind of rough food."

    Da Yuer nodded in approval: "You have a heart."

    Da Yuer divided the pancake in half, and handed half to the little emperor: "Eat it."

    Shunzhi took a bite of the cake and spit it out immediately: "Bah, it's too unpalatable."

    Yang Chengshun hastily kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please calm down. There has been a shortage of food in the past few years, and the palace people have been eating rough food. Please be wronged for a while."

    As Da Yuer's confidant, Yang Chengshun certainly doesn't need to eat rough food, but he flees in the middle of the night, so what can he get.

    Da Yuer reprimanded sharply: "What time is it? If you don't eat any more, you will starve to death. Swallow it!"

    Shunzhi was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head and gnawed on the cake, suppressing the discomfort and swallowing it.

    The four of them hid in the woods by the side of the road, and Da Yuer said: "Just wait here, there must be people from the clan who will come. More than one or two escaped from the city last night."

    The little eunuch Wu Liangfu was also panicking from hunger, looking at the cake that Shunzhi spit on the ground, and asked, "Your Majesty, can I eat it?"

    "Eat." Shunzhi grew up with Wu Liangfu, and their relationship is very close.

    Wu Liangfu squatted down quickly, picked up the pancake and stuffed it into his mouth.

    Waiting left and right, waiting until noon, finally someone came on the road.  And there was more than one, there were more than a dozen people in total, two of them were wearing silk robes over leather armor, and the rest were Tartar civilians inside and outside the city.

    "Go, let them escort you!" Da Yuer commanded.

    The old eunuch said to the young eunuch, "Go."

    Wu Liangfu could only run out of the grove, and quickly retreated: "Queen Mother, there is something wrong with those people outside."

    "Why is it wrong?" Da Yuer asked.

    Wu Liangfu analyzed: "The Eight Banners sergeant with the weapon was wearing a silk robe, but a large piece of leather armor was exposed on his chest. Those who wore leather armor were all Eight Banners soldiers who lived outside the city. How could they afford good silk?  Robes? Among the remaining people, two are court ladies, you can tell by their clothes. The other men and women, some of them are obviously nobles, but they seem to be called around by two soldiers."

    Da Yuer immediately came to her senses: "You mean, two soldiers who lived outside the city robbed the silk robes of the Manchu nobleman halfway?"

    Wu Liangfu said: "Not only did they rob the robes, but they also killed people. There was a big gash on the chest. It was because the silk robes were cut torn, revealing a large piece of leather armor. They killed noble men, robbed nobles of their goods,  They also ordered the court ladies and noble family members. Those noble family slaves should also be subdued by them."

    Da Yuer praised and said: "You are very clever."

    The two big soldiers on the road were obviously separated from their families.  With their wives and children separated, they had nothing to look forward to. When they met the Manchu nobles on the way, they simply chose to kill and steal their goods, and robbed their wives and servants along the way.

    This kind of behavior is a capital offense. If Da Yuer dared to show his face, they would even dare to kill the Queen Mother.

    Wu Liangfu's stomach became more and more hungry, and he knew that the old eunuch still had pancakes in his arms.  Sure enough, not long after, the old eunuch made an excuse to take a shit,

    Quietly hid and ate pancakes.

    Wu Liangfu said: "The empress dowager pleaded guilty, and the slave also wants to make it convenient."

    Da Yuer looked disgusted: "Go."

    Wu Liangfu tiptoed to follow, and saw the old eunuch squatting in the bushes, quietly eating pancakes happily.

    He wanted to ask for it, but felt that the old eunuch would not give it.

    The two big soldiers who passed by before made Wu Liangfu have other ideas.  Soldiers can kill for money, andFor the sake of love, just let me go, we agreed to be friends.  "

    Wu Liangfu laughed loudly: "A friend without eggs."

    Historically, Wu Liangfu was a celebrity and a reformer of the eunuch system in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    He has been dormant until Shunzhi took charge, and suddenly appeared to interfere with the court.  Under Shunzhi's protection, Da Yuer had nothing to do with him.  It was not until Shunzhi's death that Dayuer ordered Wu Liangfu to be convicted and executed.

    If Shunzhi didn't die so early, there might be great eunuchs taking power in the early Qing Dynasty.

    Facing the little emperor's begging for mercy, Wu Liangfu became more and more excited. He finally realized the joy of being a human being, not just a dog being shouted around.

    "Die!"

    The trouser belt was wrapped around Shunzhi's neck, and Wu Liangfu had blue veins on his forehead. While exerting force, he savored Shunzhi's terrified expression before he died.

    After killing three people one after another, the eunuch lost his strength and lay down on the ground for a long time.

    He took pancakes from the old eunuch's arms, sat next to the corpse and devoured them.  Since he didn't have a knife and couldn't cut off the heads, he hid the three corpses in the bushes, and took off the jade pendant from Shunzhi's waist as a token.

    Wu Liangfu was so excited that his hands were shaking, and he quickly ran towards Hetuala.

    On the way, he saw an army from a distance, but it was the army of Suohun and Erke Daiqing. More than 3,000 people were fleeing towards Changbai Mountain.

    Wu Liangfu was so frightened that he quickly hid in the forest.

    Next, he walked day and night, and finally came to Hetuala hungry.  He stood at the foot of the city and shouted: "I killed the Tartar emperor and queen mother, hurry up and carry the corpses with me!" &lt;/div&gt

 Body 696 [Dutch prisoners of war]

    The first news that Zhao Han received was not from the Northeast, but from Taiwan.

    The Dutch in Zeelandia were besieged for ten months.  At last they ate their food, and cried out for surrender,

    ? If you want to kill, you can do whatever you want, just give him something to eat before he dies.

    The Dutch East India Company ignored this, as if nothing happened.

    The governor of Batavia, Van der Lin, and the commander of the navy, Van der Laan, these two surnamed Fan, are busy making money.  They stepped up their efforts to exploit the Javanese natives, and smuggled goods to the Spaniards in the southern Philippine archipelago. They made a lot of money, waiting for the Dutch headquarters to deal with them.

    At the same time, the situation in the Arabian Peninsula has become extremely tense.  Indigenous powers, Ottomans, Persians,

    The Netherlands, Britain, and Portugal were all involved, and even the Mughals were affected. Countless warships were piled up in the Western Indian Ocean and the Persian Gulf.

    None of these countries really want to go to war, but they are afraid of the enemy sending troops.

    Even the Dutch warships in Ceylon were transferred to the Arabian Peninsula to prepare for war. How could they care about continuing the war with China?

    The tension in the Arabian Peninsula stems from the rise of the Aliba dynasty (Oman).

    Just last year, Yariba, the founding Sultan of Oman, suddenly fell ill and died suddenly, attracting countless external forces to move.  Under the game of all parties, Yariba's nephew succeeded in succeeding to the throne. The new sultan was not a soft persimmon, and immediately launched a general attack on Portugal after he took the throne.

    None of the Portuguese colonial castles in Oman remained, all of which were broken by the new Sultan.

    The Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Persia, and Ottomans all wanted to get involved there and take over the Portuguese colonies.  But the new Sultan of Oman is too fierce. Taking advantage of the mutual fear of several major forces, he not only regained the entire country, but also supported the merchants of his own country, and joined forces with Arab merchants in the surrounding areas to start doing business in sea trade.

    At the same time, the new Sultan of Oman has also vigorously developed the navy and actively enhanced maritime power (decades later, with only two generations of father and son, the Oman navy became the overlord of the Indian Ocean).

    In addition, the Sultan of Oman successfully expelled Portugal, which greatly encouraged the Green Christians in East Africa.  Leaders of Green Cults from all over the world,

    ? Requesting assistance one after another, the Sultan of Oman generously sent troops to attack Portuguese castles along the coast of East Africa.

    Later even hit Mombasa (Kenya), Zanzibar (Tanzania) and Madagascar,

    Become the absolute hegemon in East Africa.

    Many small and inconspicuous countries, their ancestors were once rich! But Portugal, completely devastated, was beaten to nowhere by the Sultan of Oman.

    In addition to the situation in East Africa, the bigger problem facing the Netherlands is that the Zemstvo faction has begun to take power.

    Just this year, the Dutch Consul William II died of smallpox.  His only son, William III, was born eight days after his death, and the Dutch Zemstvo took the opportunity to seize power.

    The Zemstvo faction convened a parliament and announced that the Netherlands would no longer have a unified army, and that the provinces would be responsible for their own defense.

    Among the seven provinces, five provinces have announced that the post of "government" will be abolished in the future, and the Netherlands has entered "the first period without governance".

    The ruling of the Netherlands is the king of the Netherlands in disguise. It is held by the Prince of Orange family.  France attacked Holland by land.  The Netherlands was completely defeated by France, and the Zemstvo faction remembered the Orange family and invited William III to command the army.

    After repelling the French army, William III went to marry England and became the king of England because of this.

    And also serve as the ruling of the Netherlands.

    The two countries, Britain and the Netherlands, which have been killed for decades, are now ruled by the same king.

    This coquettish operation made the King of France look stupid: Why am I cooperating with the British to fight the war?

    This year, the ruler of the Netherlands, William II, died, and William III was still a baby.  The Dutch Zemstvo faction tore the country apart, and only then did the operation of selling warships to the United Kingdom come into being.  Similarly, the Dutch East India Company was also affected, and its internal affairs were in a mess, and it was impossible to spare a hand to wrestle with China.

    Nanjing.

    A group of red-haired and green-eyed prisoners of war were escorted ashore, attracting passers-by to watch.

    Foreign devils are becoming more and more common, but it is still strange to see so many at one time.

    The former Governor of Taiwan, Felberg, was chained at the moment, his hands and neck were also shackled, and he looked at everything on the pier with disheveled hair.

    What a prosperous inland port, what a majestic and solid city wall.effective rule.

    Peasants were fooled by landlords and officials, and hated the imperial court deeply.

    In Vietnam, which was conquered last year, more than 20,000 people rebelled this year. I don’t know how many years this situation will continue.

    However, Vietnam will never give up.

    Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, only the Song and Qing dynasties have not ruled Vietnam, and even the Yuan Dynasty ruled briefly.  The land of Vietnam, most of the time, belongs to the territory of China, and the time for independence is even shorter.

    It is the responsibility of the Great Unification Central Dynasty to recover Vietnam.

    Zhao Han ordered: "This time to quell the Guangnan rebellion, half of the vacated land will be given to the immigrants. From Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangdong, each immigrant will go there, regardless of the ethnicity, as long as they can speak Chinese."

    The situation in Guangnan must be improved slowly, and it may take dozens or hundreds of years.

    As for the war in the Northeast, Zhao Han didn't feel worried at all, even though the victory report hadn't come yet.

    (At the end of the chapter, there is a map of the actual control territory of the Datong court, which seems to be under review.)

    ,

    The battleship made of century-old oak was officially launched in autumn.

    The first batch of warships consisted of two ships, both of the Galen type.  One is 650 tons, the other is 500 tons, with four masts and square sails.

    Galleons are fitted with square sails, a practice that began thirty years ago and are also known as "forgate sails".  The later sail frigate was also named "Fogate Sailing Ship", but the two are not the same thing.

    In addition, the deck superstructure was deliberately reduced during design, and the forecastle was also shorter than that of ordinary Galen ships.

    This change is all to make the hull lighter and lower the center of gravity of the hull.  Not only is it more flexible when sailing, but it is also less likely to be capsized by storms.  It's just that from the appearance point of view, it is not as tall and mighty as before the improvement, and those with proper appearance are deduction items.

    Europe is also making this kind of improvement, and even moved the foremast aft to directly above the forecastle, so that the mast distribution is more reasonable and efficient.

    "Good boat!"

    Before Kuang Hong boarded the ship, he couldn't help admiring.

    Kuang Hong is the eldest son of Kuang Lu. His father previously served as the Zuo Buzheng of Guizhou Province, but now he has been transferred back to Nanjing to serve as the Zuo Shilang of the Household Department.

    Kuang Hong himself joined the court of Datong early. He was good at poetry, music, riding, and swordsmanship. In history, he recruited troops to fight against the Qing Dynasty and died in the eastern suburbs of Guangzhou.

    After Zhang Dai and Liu Xiangke were promoted, it was impossible to go on foreign missions in person. Kuang Hong was appointed as a negotiating envoy this time, and went to Batavia with the heads of Dutch prisoners of war.

    "These two ships were designed and built by Dutch shipbuilders and Han-made shipbuilders," Hong Xu introduced with a smile.  Use soft sails. The Han-made shipbuilders needed to add stalks of water wood to the bottom of the boat. The Dutch shipbuilders didn’t know about this. After making trouble to His Majesty, the Han-made shipbuilders won this time.”

    Gan Shuimu is the anti-rolling keel, which relies on the hydrodynamic effect when the ship rolls to generate a stabilizing moment to reduce the ship's roll.  It can play a miraculous effect when encountering a storm, and it can also make the ship more stable when sailing in normal times.

    This kind of ship anti-rolling device in China is at least 700 years earlier than that in Europe (subject to the unearthed objects), and it has been used from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.  In Europe, it was not invented until the end of the 18th century.

    The two new ships of the Datong Navy combined the advantages of Eastern and Western ships, and not everything was decided by the Dutch shipbuilder.

    Kuang Hong led people aboard the warship, and all the heads of the Dutch prisoners of war were packed in wooden boxes.

    As Hong Xu walked, he introduced: "The Spanish ship captured before was named 'Datong, but now it is changed to 'Taiwan'. The largest new ship is called 'Guangzhou'. The smaller one next to it  The new ship is called 'Fuzhou.' On the Guangzhou, there are more than 40 large and small cannons, the largest one is a 6000-jin cannon."

    Kuang Hong was full of pride when he heard it: "With this giant ship, I can sail all over the world!"

    Kuang Hong is from Nanhai, Guangdong, and has been used to seeing sea ships since he was a child.  Now that I am on the 650-ton Guangzhou, I suddenly don't want to be a civil servant, and I want to become an admiral in the navy.

    The naval fleet departs from Taicang Port.

    There are a few small boats in front of them, pulling and guiding the large naval ships, avoiding shoals and reefs all the way, and entering the sea smoothly from the Yangtze River.

    The navigator holds a nautical compass in his hand, which can be used in conjunction with the "Haidao Needle Classic".

    "Haidao Needle Classic" is a collection of the painstaking efforts of countless Chinese navigators, and it has been accumulated since the Song Dynasty.  At the beginning, only the waters near China were recorded, until Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean, and the other side of the Indian Ocean was also recorded.

    Although most of Zheng He's voyage materials are lost, his "Hai Dao Jing Jing" has been circulated. The "Zibao Shipyard Sails from Longjiang Pass to Foreign Lands" published in the Wanli period is a set of Zheng He's voyages to the West.  needlebook.

    The "Haidao Needle Classic" used by the Datong Navy collected and sorted out a large number of needle routes, and at the same time asked the maritime merchants in various provinces to contribute their own nautical charts.  After summarizing, the "Datong Haidao Needle Classic" is engraved, and private maritime merchants can also buy it at a high price.

    Tianqian, Earthly Branches, and Bagua divide the nautical compass into 24 equal parts.

    ? Following Zheng He’s voyages to the Western Seas for positioning: set sail at Taicang port, use Danyi needles, and level the Wusong River after one watch.  Use Yimao needle, one shift, to Nanhuizui.

    Translated into human words: Set sail from Taicang Port, drive in a direction of 105 degrees, and pass ten miles (some say twelve miles) to Wusong River.  Then drive in the direction of 97.5 degrees, passing ten miles, to Nanhuizui.

    All the routes of Zheng He's voyages are all accurately positioned, such as in the South China Sea——

    "When sailing from Sumatra, use dry needles. At twelfth watch, the boat levels Longsiyu. Forty watches, the boat uses Xinyou needles. At fifty watches, the boat sees Mount Ceylon." (Departing from Sumatra Port, along 307.5  Sailing in the direction of 120 milesThe wall is just a residential area, and the palace is in the castle in the center of the city.

    After entering the city, Kuang Hong found bloodstains everywhere, and some Banten soldiers were cleaning up the corpses.

    All the way to the castle, there are more bloodstains in the castle.

    Finally, Kuang Hong met Ban Dan's new Sultan, Ah Geng.

    This Sultan Ageng had just killed his brothers and seized the throne of the king by force.  Next, he will work hard to build an elite navy and set up a caravan to sail to the Philippines and India.

    It is a pity that after the death of Sultan Ageng, his sons fought for the throne, and the Netherlands took the opportunity to support one of them and controlled the state affairs of Banten from then on.

    Standing in the blood-stained ground, Sultan Ah Geng smiled and saluted Kuang Hong: "Welcome the envoy from China, you are the most honored guest of Banten. The hateful Dutch are the enemy of Banten, and the Netherlands is also the enemy of China."  .We have the same enemies, so we are destined friends.

    Kuang Hong looked at Ah Geng standing in the blood, and heard the translation of the speech, and immediately made a judgment: the person in front of him must be a foreign hero!

    (The easter egg chapter in the previous chapter was reviewed by the card.

 Text 698【Receiving younger brother】

    Kuang Hong was ordered to pay a visit to the King of Banten, and it was not in his consideration as to who would be the king.

    "His Royal Highness, please allow me to introduce myself," Kuang Hong said with a smile, "My name is Kuang Lu, and I am an envoy from China. On behalf of His Majesty the Emperor of Datong, I made a special trip to bring the emperor's greetings to the king."

    Sultan Ageng saluted again, "Welcome Your Excellency, please convey my gratitude to the emperor of your country on my behalf."

    "This is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor to His Highness." Kuang Hong turned and pointed to the two boxes.

    The accompanying envoy immediately handed over the gift list, and the navy soldiers carried the box over.

    Sultan Ah Geng was even more happy. He had just won the throne today and received a gift from the Chinese emperor.

    He knows about China. It defeated the Dutch fleet last year. This matter has been widely spread in Nanyang.  What's more, there are many Chinese in Banten itself, and even the minaret of the Banten Grand Mosque was designed and built by Chinese.

    Ah Geng said, "Please come inside your envoy!"

    "Please." Kuang Hong smiled back.

    The envoys were arranged to live in the palace, and the treatment was very favorable, because the Wandan Kingdom was very rich.

    Banten Port is the maritime trade center of the entire Southeast Asia, and the volume of goods traded far exceeds that of Malacca and Batavia.  This is because Malacca and Batavia are both controlled by the Netherlands to do exclusive business.  Banten Port is a free port, except for the Dutch, no matter which country can come to trade.

    ? In the evening, Sultan Ageng hosted a banquet in honor of the envoys.

    Before the banquet even started, everyone received an exquisite gift, and Sultan Ageng also held out a sword, "This is the royal collection of Wandan. Please pass it on to His Majesty the Emperor of China. It only represents my personal respect for the Emperor."

    "It must be brought." Kuang Hong stood up and took it.

    This sword has a strange shape and is a Malay snake sword. As for the specific appearance, please brainstorm the Golden Snake Sword of Mr. Golden Snake.

    Moreover, the blade is made of Damascus steel, the scabbard is wrapped in sharkskin, and inlaid with rubies and sapphires.

    There are ships from various countries in Banten Port, and the culture and art are also very inclusive.

    Although Wandan is a country of the Green religion, the Green religion here is very distinctive, absorbing and integrating Hinduism, Buddhism, and All Souls religion.  The minaret designed by the Chinese for the Banten Grand Mosque is neither Arabic, Persian, nor Chinese in architectural style, but a fusion of Mughal and Malay-Hindu styles.

    The same is true for this sword. The blade is in Malay style, but the scabbard is decorated in Persian style. I think Emperor Zhao of Nanjing will like it very much.

    "Crack clap clap!"

    Sultan Ah Geng clapped his hands, the band and dancers came on stage, and the palace servants came with all kinds of food.

    No alcohol is allowed here, only juice drinks.

    Sultan Ageng raised his glass and said, "This cup is for the great Chinese emperor!"

    "Your Majesty!"

    Kuang Hong got up quickly, and led all the envoys, turned around and bowed to the northeast.

    After sitting down again, Ah Geng pointed to a Chinese at the table, "Your Excellency, this is Mr. Skbanka, an advisor to the Banten royal family, a profound scholar, and an excellent architect."

    The Chinese was about fifty years old. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Chen Lian, an overseas Han citizen, meet Angel!"

    "You're polite," Kuang Hong asked, cupping his hands, "Where are you from?"

    Chen Lian replied, "From Xiangshan County, Guangdong. My family was poor when I was a child. I studied in a village school for several years and had to give up my studies to make a living. At the age of thirteen, I went to sea with my elders and came to Java Island. My uncle died in Jakarta.  Wandering around, I was accepted as a servant by a fire man. The fire man saw that I was smart, so he let me join the religion and learn some knowledge from him."

    Kuang Hong smiled and said, "You and I are still from the same hometown. I am from Nanhai County."

    "So that's the case. No wonder your accent is kind." Chen Lian suddenly became more enthusiastic.

    Immediately afterwards, Chen Lian talked with Sultan Ah Geng in Malay again, probably translating the conversation just now.

    Sultan Ah Geng smiled even more happily, and while drinking fruit juice, he said, "What a coincidence, the advisor of the Banten royal family is actually a villager with Your Excellency the Envoy. Your Excellency, you are a very talented native.  Before that, he designed and built the minaret for the Banten Grand Mosque.

    ? Has been unanimously praised by the majority of Green Christians.  "

    Chen Lian spoke from the side, "Thanks to the love of the old Sudan, otherwise how would I have a chance?"

    After some chatting, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

    Sultan Ageng picked up the opium and the smoking set, "Your envoy, please taste it. This is the best stuff. The Dutch are very bad. The opium they sell is always inferior. Banten's friends, the British, are the real ones.  SincerelyLet the navy bring in Banten, and the price is rolling upwards.

    Just make this one or two times. After the products become popular, counterfeit products will definitely appear, and European merchants will make their own packaging.  Of course, this kind of packaging has to be done well by Chinese businessmen.

    While the civil servants of the Navy and the Ministry of Commerce were selling goods, Kuang Lu was conducting formal diplomacy with the Sultan in the palace.

    "Suzerain?" Sultan Ageng hesitated.

    Kuang Hong said, "Danmu, the predecessor of your country, is actually a vassal state of China."

    The founding monarch of Wandan Kingdom was originally a local aristocrat of Danmu Kingdom, who seized the country by rebellion and continued to grow.

    Sultan Ageng asked, "If you become a vassal state of China, what obligations do you need to perform?"

    Kuang Hong said, "China is going to war in Nanyang. If Banten is needed to cooperate, Banten should send troops. Chinese people in Banten, even if they don't believe in Green religion, should not be taxed."

    "That's all?" Sultan Ah Geng was quite surprised.

    Kuang Hong smiled and said, "That's all. If His Highness wants to pay tribute, you can also take the tribute to Nanjing. Of course, you will definitely not suffer. These tributes are all paid. If Datong China becomes the suzerain of Wandan, it will guarantee Wandan  Dan’s safety. Any country that attacks Banten without authorization is tantamount to going to war against China! Of course, if Banten takes the initiative to attack other countries, and other countries are forced to resist, China will not care about it.”

    "good!"

    Sultan Ah Geng was overjoyed, "The Kingdom of Wandan is willing to honor the Emperor of China!"

    Kuang Hong's real mission is to come to Nanyang to recruit younger brothers

    &lt;/div&gt

    ,

    Kuang Hong took a bunch of gold seals with him when he went to sea this time.

    Sultan Ageng promised to respect China as the suzerain, and Kuang Hong immediately gave the document and the golden seal to Wandan Kingdom.

    Immediately, the fleet continued sailing to the Sultanate of Johor.

    The predecessor of Johor was actually Malacca. After the capital was captured by Portugal, the royal family could only flee and move the capital.  For decades, the main enemy has been the Sultanate of Aceh.

    Aceh was at war with Portugal and almost captured Malacca.  Inexplicably, he went to attack Johor again, destroyed the capital of Johor, and took away the Sultan of Johor.  In order to deal with Aceh, after the prince of Johor succeeded to the throne, he once formed an alliance with his sworn enemy Portugal, but later turned his face due to trade issues, and was beaten by Portugal to move the capital again.

    Today, the territory of the Johor Sultanate includes southern Malaysia, Singapore and eastern Sumatra.  The territory of the Aceh Sultanate is in the west and east of Sumatra Island, and the central part of the island is the State of Sumatra.

    When Kuang Hong brought the naval fleet over, Johor Sultan Abdul Zalisha offered to become a vassal state of China again.

    Abdul Zalisa said: "My lord Chinese envoy, Xiao Wang heard that China has defeated the Netherlands. This news is really exciting. The damned country of Aceh has been in alliance with the Netherlands for nine years. As long as China is willing to send troops, Johor can send troops."  30 ships and 2,000 soldiers, cooperate with Chinese soldiers to attack Aceh!"

    Kuang Hong said: "It is not the time to attack the Netherlands and Aceh."

    Abdul Zalisa was a little disappointed, but still said: "The Sultan of Aceh is old and may die of illness at any time. When the Sultan of Aceh dies of illness, it is the best opportunity to send troops. Johor will always follow the lead of China's soldiers."

    Kuang Hong laughed and said, "You can write a letter to the king of Aceh, saying that Johor has already belonged to China, so that he is not allowed to claim the land of Johor."

    "With the backing of His Majesty the great Chinese Emperor, the Sultan of Aceh would certainly not dare to attack again." Abdul Chalisa said flatteringly.

    The core territory of Johor is in Malaysia and Singapore, but it has an enclave in Indonesia bordering Aceh.  If we really want to fight, Johor must suffer, and we have to cross the strait to send troops to support.

    ? To be honest, Johor is too weak.

    When it was still the country of Malacca, it was taken by Portugal with a hundred people.  After the capital was moved, Aceh was beaten to move the capital first, and then Portugal was beaten to move the capital again.

    When Johor moved its capital for the last time, there were more than 10,000 defenders in the city, 150 artillery pieces, 1,500 firearms, and more than 2,000 ships at sea

    (including merchant shipping).  Portugal only had more than 600 people, and with some servants, they beat the Sultan of Johor to break out of the siege sitting on an elephant.

    Just because he is too weak, Johor is eager to embrace China's thigh.

    After some flickering and reassurance, the navy bought some local specialties, and Kuang Hong continued to take in his younger brother.  The countries of Pahang, Dingjialu, and Da Ni are all within the territory of later generations of Malaysia, and each country only has one or two cities.

    It wasn't until Ayutthaya that it finally looked like something.

    Ayutthaya, also known as Siam, also known as Ayutthaya, is simply Thailand.

    Here was also a vassal state of Ming Dynasty. When Kuang Hong arrived with an envoy, the king of Thailand immediately warmly entertained him, and he became a vassal of China without even thinking about it.

    The most ridiculous thing is that the gift from the King of Thailand to Zhao Han included dozens of catties of opium.  This is not the first time, decades ago, Thailand's tribute to Emperor Wanli contained a lot of opium.

    After walking around here, Kuang Hong finally returned and headed straight for Batavia.

    "Your Excellency, the Chinese fleet is here."

    "Go and try it out."

    The fleets of the two countries confronted each other in the waters near Jakarta.  No one fired first, and then rowed a boat to communicate,

    Kuang Hong was allowed to enter the port on only one warship.

    Van der Lin's adjutant came to meet him at the pier in person.

    Seeing the Chinese unloading a lot of boxes, the adjutant couldn't help asking: "Are these goods?"

    Kuang Hong replied: "This is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor of China to the Governor of your country, and the Governor of your country must personally receive it."

    As soon as he heard that it was a gift, the adjutant became happy, and his attitude became much more enthusiastic, as if the two countries had never been at war last year.

    Arriving at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Van der Lin came out in person and saluted very elegantly: "Welcome your envoy to Batavia, please extend my sincere greetings to the Emperor of China!"

    "It's easy," Kuang Hong cupped his hands, "His Majesty the Emperor has also prepared a gift for Your Excellency Open the box!"

    The navy soldiers immediately opened those boxes, and Van der Lin stepped forward with a smile. After seeing the contents clearly, he immediately became?Book&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot  ;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a> Transferred Busuanga Island to China  treaty.  "Kuang Hong said.

    Not to mention that Busuanga Island is okay, but I get angry when I say it. Last year, the Dutch fleet was ambushed there.

    The area of ??Busuanga Island is quite large, and there are still indigenous people on the island, but after the Chinese occupation, they did not continue to station troops, and now they do not belong to any country in essence.

    What Zhao Han meant was to use the treaty to determine the right of ownership first, and then to really rule when he has time in the future, and even send immigrants to the island.

    Van der Linn finally exploded: "Impossible! Busuanga Island was obtained by the Netherlands and Spain as a victorious country. It is impossible for me to hand over Busuanga Island to China."

    "But you were defeated. The Dutch castle on the island has also been destroyed by our army." Kuang Hong laughed.

    Van der Lin said: "I will not sign any treaty with you, farewell!"

    Kuang Hong didn't force it, and turned to the Dutchman's shipyard, but the adjutant didn't stop him.

    A navy soldier yelled at the shipyard: "If any Chinese want to go back to their hometown, they can leave on a navy ship. After returning to their hometown, they will immediately settle in Fentian!"

    As soon as this remark came out, the shipyard fryer.

    Regardless of the obstruction of the Dutch managers, a large number of Han-made ship craftsmen rushed out, with infinite longing on their faces: "Can you really return to China by ship, and then you can settle down and divide the land when you return home?"

    Kuang Hong smiled and said: "You are all craftsmen, if you don't want to farm, you can also enter the shipyard run by the imperial court."

    ,

    "Go back all!"

    The adjutant accompanied Kuang Hong all the way, and when he saw the situation, he immediately dispatched soldiers to force the shipbuilder to leave with guns and ammunition.

    Kuang Hong looked puzzled: "Are these Chinese people all slaves? They are not allowed to return to China?"

    The adjutant replied: "They signed a contract with the shipyard. If they leave before the contract expires, they will pay the shipyard a large amount of liquidated damages."

    Kuang Honghuan suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "How much is the liquidated damages?"

    The adjutant said: "Ten times the annual salary."

    "This is no problem, I will pay all their liquidated damages!" Kuang Hong waited for this sentence.

    The adjutant finally became anxious and said: "Sir, wait a moment, I want to report this matter to the governor."

    After the adjutant sent someone to the Governor's Mansion, Kuang Hong asked again: "The Han residents in the city should also have liquidated damages?"

    The adjutant shook his head: "No."

    Kuang Hong said to the naval soldiers around him: "Go to the urban area, check door to door, and tell them when you see Han people. When you return to China, you can divide the land and settle down. Those with skills can also find a living in the city. The Datong Navy uses ships to pick them up.  They go!"

    "Sir, you can't do this!" The adjutant was terrified.

    The Han Chinese and their families in Batavia, including mixed-race children, now number more than 20,000.  The successive governors were very worried, feeling that the proportion of Han people in the city was too high, so they imposed heavy taxes to limit the increase of Han people, and later even instigated the aborigines to massacre Han people.

    But if there are no Han people, the entire city and the port will have to stop functioning!

    Van der Lin hurried back, pointing at Kuang Hong and angrily scolded: "You are an envoy from China, and I will allow you to move freely in Batavia by observing diplomatic etiquette. But I must expel you immediately for the espionage you did just now!"

    Kuang Hong looked confused again: "I did something subtle? I just told the Han people here that if they want to go back to the country, I can take them away. These are Chinese, not slaves you looted.  Shouldn't they come and go freely?"

    "Immediately, leave Batavia immediately!" Van der Lin shouted.

    Kuang Hong gritted his teeth and said, "You imprison the Chinese and don't allow them to leave. Are you going to declare war on China?"

    It is obvious that Kuang Hong is doing diplomacy, which is the favorite thing for Chinese envoys to do.

    Including the middle and early Ming Dynasty, especially the Han and Tang Dynasties, when envoys went on missions to foreign countries, they would die as they could.  They don't even want their own lives, they just want to provoke each other. If they die because of this, the Chinese court will have a reason to launch a war.

    Van der Lin yelled: "Raise your guns and lead them to sea!"

    Kuang Hong was not afraid at all, and counterattacked with his head raised: "This kind of behavior of your Excellency, I will automatically regard it as a war. As long as I leave the port and return to the ship,

    It will make the navy attack!  You can also kill me immediately. If my navy cannot receive the news within three hours, it will also launch an attack on Batavia Harbor.  Even if this navy is defeated, China still has more fleets, and they will attack here every year!  In the downwind season, Chinese merchant ships would send warships to follow them, and any merchant ships that came to Batavia for trade would be regarded as treason by default once discovered.  I want Batavia to be unable to buy a load of Chinese raw silk, or a bolt of Chinese cotton cloth!  "

    "you…"

    Van der Lin, who was burning with anger, actually held back his life. It was the first time he saw such a crazy diplomat.

    Kuang Hong continued: "Except for Aceh, all the countries around Malacca have become Chinese vassal states. Once a war breaks out, these countries will form a coalition army to cooperate with Chinese soldiers to capture Malacca! How many Dutch defenders are there in Malacca?  A hundred? Four hundred? Or a thousand? There won't be two thousand?"

    Van der Lin's vest was chilled by these words,

    There is Malacca, the location is important and there are not many defenders.  If China attacks Batavia and at the same time attacks Malacca, the two port cities will fall sooner or later.

    Van der Lin said in a calm tone as much as possible: "What exactly do you want to do, Your Excellency?"

    "According to His Majesty the Emperor, the Netherlands signed a contract with China!" Kuang Hong laughed.

    Van der Lin said: "This is a big matter, and I need time to think about it."

    "Okay, I'll give you three days." Kuang Hong said.

    Van der Lin's consideration was actually to hold a meeting.

    A group of congressmen wrangled for two days, passed the proposal with great risk, and fully accepted the request of the Chinese emperor.  From now on, the Netherlands must not attack China's vassal states for no reason. If there is a reason for the incident, it must accept China's mediation, otherwiseot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a> The British took the initiative to find you,  Xinxi asked: "Is China going to war with the Netherlands? We, the UK, can help. Now there are two armed merchant ships in the port, which can join the Chinese fleet. If the war drags on for three months, the UK can still transfer armed merchant ships from India."  !"

    The conflict between Britain and the Netherlands was particularly intense in Nanyang.

    In order to compete for the share of spices, the Netherlands once played a massacre and killed all the British on an island.  Even now, the Netherlands controls Malacca, and they often attack British merchant ships when they see them.

    "I need your help very much." Of course Kuang Hong did not refuse friends.

    After Britain joined, Hong sent someone to inform the Sultan of Johor to send troops to pretend to attack Malacca.  You don't have to fight, just bluff and bluff.  At the same time, let Pahang, Da Ni and other countries also send troops. Anyway, they are not far away, and they don't need to cross the sea. It is considered an armed training.

    A few days later, Van der Lin received a report: "Your Excellency, our fleet has been attacked. The main force of the opponent is the Chinese navy, as well as Banten's offshore rowing boats, and British armed merchant ships! Our merchant ships have been attacked.  One sank, and three were captured by the enemy! Also, the Chinese merchant ships that came to Batavia for trade are being lured to Banten by the Chinese navy."

    "Did he really dare to do that?"

    Van der Lin couldn't help complaining, this diplomat is too weird, he is simply a lunatic.

    After the treaty was signed, it was so big for some Han civilians.

    Siam, Ayutthaya.

    King Palaseton is old and lifeless. He is willing to obey the emperor of China. Apart from traditional political inertia, another reason is that he is unwilling to make trouble.

    "Father, the Chinese envoy sent someone to say that the governor of the Netherlands disrespected His Majesty the Emperor," said the little prince Nalai. "There is an idiom in the Han people, which is called the Lord Humiliates His Officials to Die, which means that when the monarch is insulted, a subject should die for the monarch.  .Since China is my suzerain country, our country should take action. Please expel the Dutch in Ayutthaya and Liukun immediately, father!"

    Palasai Dong said: "You are too young to know how to govern the country. For China, it is enough to obey from afar. There is no need to harm your own interests for them."

    Na Lai retorted: "Our country's products are not only sold to the Dutch. Even if the Dutch are expelled, some of them will be bought by the Chinese. How can this be said to be detrimental to our own interests?"

    The eldest prince Zhao Fa guessed, but he was a slippery guy, he smoothed things over with a smile: "The Chinese envoy just sent someone over, asking us to help as much as possible.

    It is absolutely possible to send 500 soldiers to Malacca slowly.  As for the domestic Dutch, heavy taxes are imposed on the goods they buy, so that they can not only pay for China, but also take the opportunity to earn more gold and silver from the Dutch.  "

    "This method is very good!" Palasay is very satisfied with the eldest son, thinking that he is very political.

    "Father," Nalai said hastily, "we can't just look at our eyes. Toungoo (Myanmar) in the north is aggressive. If we try our best to help China this time, we will definitely gain the goodwill of the Chinese monarch and ministers, which means that China owes us a favor. In the future, if we  Being invaded by Taungoo, we sent envoys to ask China for assistance, and the Chinese emperor would certainly be willing to send troops!"

    Palasay Dong waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about the future, I'm going to rest, you guys step back."

    Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Nalai retreated and said: "Father, please appoint me as the general of the army, and take 50 soldiers to help China attack Malacca!"

    Palasay Dong didn't care about it, and said: "You like to fight, then you go."

    "Thank you, father!" Nalai bowed and exited.

    In the history of Thailand, there have been several "great emperors", and this little prince is the "King Narai" among them.

    In another time and space, news of the fall of Yunnan and the escape of Emperor Yongli reached Siam, and King Nalai was preparing to welcome Emperor Yongli to take refuge.  result,

    Emperor Yongli went to Siam's deadly enemy Toungoo. King Narai was worried about his safety, so he personally led troops to the Thai-Myanmar border to act in camera.

    King Nalai originally wanted Dongyu to release people to welcome Emperor Yongli to go south, but news of Emperor Yongli's death came.

    In desperation, King Nalai led his troops back to the capital to offer sacrifices to the Li Dingguo Temple, and held Buddhist ceremonies every year on the death days of Chongzhen and Yongli.

    Later, the Manchu Qing forced Siam to surrender and ordered it to hand over the golden imperial edict bestowed by the Ming Dynasty and replace it with the golden imperial edict bestowed by the Manchu Qing.  King Nalai didn't dare to resist, and at the same time he didn't want to betray Daming, so he asked the craftsmen to hand over the imitation gold seal, and secretly hid the real one.

    At this moment, Nalai, who was still the little prince, returned to his mansion and immediately summoned his two advisers and friends.

    A good friend is a Han Chinese named Yang Dongkui.

    A good friend is a Greek named Constance Walcom.

    Na Lai said with a smile: "Mr. Yang had a clever plan. My father did not agree to expel the Dutch, but he allowed me to lead troops to attack Malacca."

    ? Yang Dongkui said: "As the saying goes, it's asking for a lot of money and paying back the money when you land."

    Constance Walcom said: "Damn the Dutch, they have been occupying Malacca all the time. This time they annoyed China, and they will definitely suffer a lot!"

    "Two gentlemen, come with me." Nalai said.

    Yang Dongkui cupped his hands and said: "Since we are helping our mother country,

    Helping the prince again, of course it is incumbent at this time.  "

    Hua Erkang is a Greek adventurer. This guy drew his sword: "It's been a long time since I've fought a war. I'll use the Dutchman's skull as my adventure collection and bring it back to Europe!"

    A few days later, Prince Narai took two advisers and led 500 soldiers to the south by boat.

    Historically, his father would die of illness in a few years, and his elder brother was killed by his uncle to usurp power as soon as he succeeded to the throne. Prince Nalai led his troops to kill his uncle and regain the throne.  Within a year, Thailand had four kings.

    During the reign of King Narai, Siam even sent missions to Europe for diplomatic visits, and were warmly received by King Louis XIV of France.

    The two kings of the East and the West even became pen pals because of this, and the relationship between Thailand and France heated up rapidly.

    At the time, Holland was terrified and felt that it was in Siam's trade.??Baoen Temple, Europeans also know its true face through his sketches.

    Hoffman's books and paintings spread, European aristocrats like to use silk to imitate Chinese clothing, and gentlemen and ladies wear Chinese costumes to party and have fun.

    At this moment, Hoffman is recording everything in front of him:

    "The city (Melaka) is large and populated. Although the streets are wide and lined with trees, houses are densely built"

    "The center of the city is a hill with St. Paul's Church on the top, where the Dutch can worship. The churches and monasteries built by the Portuguese have collapsed. Most of the houses are built of bamboo, which can be preserved well in the dry season.  Of course, there are also many stone houses. They are generally low, not very big, with only a few rooms"

    "The castle was built by the Portuguese. It is located at the foot of the mountain, facing the ocean, so that it can fight during the war. The castle is composed of a fortress and four walls facing the sea, and the mouth of the Malacca River in the south. Nearly one hundred people ruled by Portugal  Over the past thirty years, the fortress has been continuously expanded, and the surrounding walls have also been extended to the foot of Mount St. Paul. It is being continuously expanded by the Dutch, eventually forming an irregular pentagonal bastion group"

    "People of different races live here, and the ruler is of course a Dutch citizen. There are also Malays, Nyonya (mixed-race Chinese), Klings (Hindus) and Eurasians. uuReading Books<a href="http:  //www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a> Of course, it also includes Javanese, Gujarati, Tamil, and even people from Luzon and Brunei  people…

    "The division of residential areas is not determined by race, but by wealth and occupation. This is the most loosely managed of all the colonial cities in the Netherlands, none of themwealthy Chinese and Nyonya, as well as those Kling businessmen  , with extremely high neighborhood autonomy"

    "God! What did I see? A fleet is coming. It is composed of ships from many countries. They are holding the artillery of the castle and constantly bombarding the castle of Malacca"

    "The city was noisy and chaotic, and shells fell into the neighborhood from time to time, destroying houses in the city."

    "The enemy landed with small boats. They entered the city and ordered all residents to evacuate to the port. Fortunately, I am an employee of the East India Company.

    I usually work and live in the castle

    "The residents of all ethnic groups in the city have been evacuated by the enemy"

    "It's another day. I heard that the Chinese used grain and hired Malays in the suburbs as servants. These Malays are very cheap. A small bag of grain can send them to death. They are helping the enemy dig  The trench and our castle, which was defended by only 18 Dutch soldiers"

 Text 702 [Outrageous Johor soldiers]

    There are really only 180 Dutch defenders in Malacca, and this situation is normal.

    Taiwan actually has thousands of Dutch defenders, which is very outrageous.  The reason is that there are often indigenous rebellions in Taiwan, and the local Han people in Taiwan are also very tough, which led to the Netherlands having to increase its garrison one after another.

    Except for Batavia, in other colonial cities in the Netherlands, 180 people is the limit, and the remaining castles only have 30 to 50 people.

    Think about how big the Netherlands is, with that poor population, and to colonize the world, there are still more than 10,000 merchant ships sailing. How many Dutch people are left?

    The same is true for the United Kingdom, which has set up 28 offices in India, all of which add up to only more than 90 employees

    "Chen Erxun, an overseas Han citizen, meet Angel!"

    "Get up."

    Chen Erxun is a Chinese leader in Malacca. He has been breeding here for two hundred years. It is rare that he has not mixed blood.

    Ordinary Chinese don't have this ability, at most one or two generations of mixed blood, and often marry Malay women as wives.  This kind of mixed-race offspring, also known as Nyonya, is called Nyonya in full.

    "Da Da Nyonya".  The mixed-race man is called Da Da (Baba), and the mixed-race woman is called Nyonya.

    For Kuang Hong, an uninvited guest, Chen Erxun was actually very unwelcome.

    ?Because the Han Chinese and Han Chinese in Malacca are mixed, they have achieved a high degree of autonomy, and they have not been discriminated against. Instead, they are the upper race here - second only to the Dutch.

    This is what they fought for.

    During the rule of the Malacca Sultanate, the Han people were oppressed.  When the Portuguese came, the Han people not only provided the architectural drawings of the palace (castle), but also formed an army to help Portugal fight the war.

    Later, Portugal also began to exploit the Han people, and the Han people in Malacca helped the Netherlands fight the war.

    The Netherlands has ruled Malacca for less than ten years, and its strength is very weak. It has not had time to turn against the Han people. Instead, it has to rely on the Han people in all aspects.  Therefore, the tax amount of the Han people here is very light, and the relationship with the Dutch colonists is very good.

    For Chen Erxun, the Chinese leader in Malacca, the Chinese army is the real aggressor, breaking their beautiful and prosperous life!

    Chen Erxun asked: "Master Angel wants to capture Malacca?"

    Guang Kuanghong did not give the answer directly, but asked with a smile: "Otherwise, what should I bring the troops here for? Tell me, how many defenders are there."

    Chen Erxun secretly groaned, but his arms couldn't twist his thighs, so he could only cooperate in order not to be implicated, and replied: "Less than 2."

    Kuang Hong's eyes lit up when he heard this. This guy was very young and he was only thinking of doing meritorious service. That's why he forced the Dutch governor to sign the contract. After completing the mission of Emperor Zhao, he would still touch porcelain.  He didn't intend to actually take Malacca, but if there are not many defenders, why not take it?

    What a great achievement!

    Moreover, due to the disastrous defeat of the Dutch fleet last year, although the number of warships has recovered, most of them are armed merchant ships temporarily recruited, and they dare not fight the Datong Navy at sea.

    Such a good opportunity must be seized!

    Kuang Hong returned to the naval ship and discussed with the naval commander Hong Xu: "General Hong, I haven't fought much, and the defenders in the castle are less than

    200, how to beat him down?  "

    Hong Xu said: "I observed the castle with binoculars, and asked a few local people. There is no other way. The soldiers climbed around by boat, climbed up the city wall and rushed in.

    The Malacca castle is disgusting and was built by the Portuguese.

    Built on the protruding part of the river's estuary, there are seas on the southeast, west and three sides, and a mountain on the north side.  After more than 100 years of expansion by the Portuguese, the outer walls of the castle became longer and longer, directly connecting with the mountains.

    If there are more than a thousand defenders inside, Hong Xu will definitely turn around and leave, and it is impossible for tens of thousands of troops to attack by force.

    but,

    There are only a hundred or so Dutch defenders, and they can't care about the long outer city walls.

    At least, the outer fortifications of the castle can be easily taken down.

    "Then get ready to fight!" Kuang Hong said.

    In the surrounding area of ??Malacca, there are not many other things, and the woods and bamboo forests are endless.  The Dutch colonists even complained: Malacca’s land has nothing but jungles.

    In fact, food was also grown here in the past. After the establishment of the Malacca Sultanate, marine trade was developed in an all-round way, regardless of the agricultural development outside the city.  Over time, agriculture has degraded, with fewer farmlands and more woods and swamps.

    After the Portuguese and Dutch colonists came, this situation became more obvious.

    The Netherlands even only manages the urban area, handing over all the land outside the city to the landlords, and only collects a small symbolic agricultural tax every year.

    &Cited, here on the north side of the mountain, there are only 3 Dutch soldiers.  Moreover, after days of feints at sea, the spirit of the Dutch soldiers on the backing side has become a little slack.

    "Enemy attack!"

    Thousands of people approached the city wall in the woods, but they were only discovered tens of meters away. Moreover, someone on the attacking side accidentally slipped and rolled down the hillside, causing the movement to attract the attention of the defenders.

    There are no artillery on the city wall here.

    Because it is facing the hillside and woods, the shells cannot bounce, and the effect of shooting is not much different from shooting directly.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    3 Dutch defenders fired at random in the woods, and dozens of Johor soldiers ran away in fright when they heard the gunshots.

    It’s no wonder that Johor was beaten and moved its capital several times. These Johor soldiers all held matchlock guns and everyone wore leather armor. As a result, some people fled when they met each other.

    "Come on!"

    The soldiers of the Datong Navy saw the signs of exposure, and immediately rushed down the hillside, and some simply  Slide down the hill.

    "First comers will be rewarded!"

    Among the Allied Forces of the Seven Nations, Prince Narai of Siam was the bravest, leading his army to charge with a spear in hand.

    His two consultant friends are also fierce people.

    Yang Dongkui was carrying a Chinese-style waist knife, and Hua Erkang was carrying a Western-style long sword. They followed Na Lai and shouted excitedly. The two regarded war as an adventure game.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    As the distance got closer, the Dutch muskets shot more accurately.

    Of the 3,000 Johor soldiers, only a dozen were actually killed, but they turned and fled one by one.  But this is a hillside, it's easy to get down, but it takes a lot of effort to climb up. In fact, it's safer to charge forward.

    On the contrary, there are several small countries, sandwiched between "big countries" on weekdays, and the soldiers' fighting will is much stronger.

    Kuang Hong was standing on the top of the mountain watching the battle, and when he saw this, he cursed angrily: "Damn it, what kind of stupid soldiers are in this Johor country? This is their former capital, and they don't even know how to go all out to get back to their old place!"

    When the soldiers of the Datong Navy, as well as the Siamese soldiers, rushed to build ladders outside the city wall, the 3,000 Johor soldiers had all collapsed, and it was the Johor prince who took the lead in escaping.

    It is no wonder that there are very few Dutch defenders in Malacca, because the surrounding area of ??the Malacca colony is all the territory of Johor.

    Facing such garbage soldiers, how could the Dutch colonists station heavy troops for defense?

 Text 703【mafang】

    More than a hundred years ago, when the Portuguese designed the fort, they planned to build the Malacca Fort into an irregular pentagonal bastion group.

    However, the manpower and material resources here are limited, especially the stone is very difficult to obtain, the Portuguese finally only completed the central castle as planned.  As for the other areas, the outer city walls are only being built continuously, and the outer city walls have not yet completely enclosed this place.

    The Dutch occupied Malacca for nine years, continued the Portuguese fortification work, and finally repaired the outer city wall to the slope of Mount St. Paul.

    At the same time, a bastion-like building (not very formal) was built on the east and west sides of the outer castle.  For the rest of the outer city walls, there are only enemy towers with crossfire at the five corners.

    ? If you want to complete the original design drawings of the Portuguese and build a perfect irregular pentagonal bastion group here, it may take a hundred years according to the construction speed of the Malacca colonists

    At this very moment, the Eight-Nation Allied Forces on the attacking side were met with crossfire from two enemy platforms.

    But to be honest, the crossfire of only 30 people still uses old-fashioned matchlock guns.

    This kind of arquebus, which can fire two rounds a minute, belongs to the top elite infantry.  And the Dutch Army, except for Batavia, the garrison is slightly decent,

    The other colonies are full of rubbish.  They were former adventurers, hooligans, and even tramps.  With a meager salary, no training all day, and occasionally going to the city to work to earn extra money, being able to fire a bullet in two minutes is considered qualified.

    Let’s take an average of one bullet every 1.5 minutes. If these 30 people are all regarded as sharpshooters, and the firing rate of the matchlock gun is 100%, it can kill 120 siege soldiers in six minutes.

    What is 120 dead in an attack of thousands of people?

    The actual situation is that when the soldiers of the Datong Navy began to climb the city wall, the casualties of the siege party were less than 50, including those who fell down the hillside and were injured.

    It is a pity that all 3,000 soldiers of Johor, which sent the most troops, collapsed.

    The soldiers of Sumatra were affected by the soldiers of Johor, and more than half of them fled inexplicably.  Then it became a chain reaction, and soldiers from Da Ni, Ding Jialu and other countries followed suit.

    Because the hillside on the north side of the city wall was covered with bushes, the Dutch didn't bother to clean it up.  It is difficult to see each other's actual situation clearly among the various units of the coalition army, and it is also difficult to know the strength of the defending side's firepower during the battle.  Anyway, I heard the gunshots and saw the largest number of Johor soldiers collapsed. I subconsciously thought that my side was defeated, so I bluffed and followed the crowd and fled.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The cross vigor of the Dutch defenders continued, but was noticeably sparse and unkempt.

    The outer city wall is very low, and with the help of pillars, it is easy to climb up.  Seeing that the siege party was about to ascend the city, the three Dutch soldiers guarding the enemy's platform became more and more flustered, and they couldn't even fill the ammunition normally.

    "Reinforcements, quickly request reinforcements!"

    "Come on, come on, hold on for a few more minutes!"

    Nearly a hundred Dutch defenders on the east and west sides are running towards this side.  But Kuang Hong's attack was too sudden, and the Dutch commander needed time to react, and it was probably too late at this time.

    However, it still came. The first batch of more than 2 Dutch soldiers rushed to the enemy station in the north for reinforcements, and fired at the siege soldiers in a panic.

    "Old grandson!"

    The first Datong army to ascend was Sun Junsheng from the Shanghai Fleet. He was shot and fell to the ground before he could gain a foothold.

    Lao Sanjin was climbing the ladder, watching Sun Junsheng's body fall down while wiping his left arm.  Under his hissing and roaring, his eyes were red, and he climbed up at a faster speed.

    Both of them were from the Yangtze River Navy. Before that, half of the Navy was abolished, some were converted to post office officials, and some were converted to naval soldiers.  They have been comrades in arms for many years, and they didn't get hurt when they killed the tartar, but they didn't expect Sun Jun to die overseas.

    Two more soldiers climbing the city fell, and Lao Sanjin finally climbed up the city wall.

    He carried a flintlock on his back, a bayonet and ammunition pouch at his waist, and a relatively thin waist knife.

    At this moment, Lao Sanjin pulled out his waist knife and rushed towards the Dutch defenders on the enemy platform.  There are more than a dozen Dutch soldiers here, all the bullets have been fired,

    All in a panic are filling.

    "Quick retreat!"

    Finally, a low-level Dutch officer yelled to run away.

    The outer city wall is too long, and it is not enough for the 180 defenders to take care of.  Distributed to each enemy tower and bastion, there are only a dozen people in one place on average, how can it stop thousands of enemies from attacking the city?

    Lao Sanjin hurried to catch up, and chopped down one with one knife. This is a fallback if the retreat is not timely., Snatched women assigned to soldiers to solve physical problems.  The remaining women and children were divided and either kept as slaves or sold as slaves.

    The Dutch ruled Malacca not long ago. Under normal circumstances, it is estimated that they will do so in a few years, and they have to find an indigenous tribe that is easier to attack.

    Johann Neuhoff, travel writer and painter, received an arquebus at this time.

    "Sir, can you shoot?" the officer asked.

    Neuhof looked at the musket in his hand, and said very depressed: "I do know how to use an arquebus, but what you gave me is a fire stick!"

    The officer explained embarrassingly: "It was left by the dead Nordic mercenaries ten years ago, and it has been thrown in the warehouse without maintenance."

    Ten years ago, when the Netherlands attacked Malacca, they sent only a few hundred troops. The real main force was more than a thousand mercenaries.

    Those mercenaries who fought for money, how could they be willing to sacrifice their lives in siege battles?

    Therefore, after relying on the indigenous soldiers and Han Chinese to take down the outer city walls, the European mercenaries began to paddle in various ways, unwilling to attack the central castle.  In the end, more than half of the mercenaries suffered casualties, because many of these guys came from northern Europe and could not withstand the tropical climate of Malacca. The main casualties were all from tropical diseases.

    The number of mercenaries who really died due to combat is actually only in the single digits They all won by besieging the city and running out of food.

    At this moment, the matchlock gun in Neuhoff's hand was a relic of a mercenary.  The barrel of the gun is rusty, the wooden butt is moldy,

    This thing is used to defend the city, and it can only be used as a stick to fight the enemy in close combat.

    In the arsenal of the central castle, powder kegs were moved out one by one.

    The moment he pried open the powder keg, Neuhoff couldn't help but touch his forehead.  The gunpowder inside is not just as simple as being damp, it has all been hardened together.

    After the Dutch captured this place, the defenders have not fought for almost ten years. Who is interested in maintaining the inventory in the warehouse?  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 704 [The bitter Dutch Army]

    ?Zhen Juan Yishui Shoal 704 Malacca Castle, its real name is Fort Santiago.

    But there are too many Santiago Forts. Portugal and Spain have built a lot of Santiago Forts all over the world.  The one in Macau is called Fort Santiago, the one in Manila is called Fort Santiago, and the one in Malacca is also called Fort Santiago.

    The central castle is built on the mountain, and the tallest watchtower is more than 30 meters above the sea.  The fortress wall is 3 meters thick, and the actual wall is about 5 meters high.

    There are also city defense guns here, but the strange thing is that the cannons are placed semi-fixedly, and the muzzles are always facing the direction of the city, and they are not used to defend against enemies at sea.

    Because when the Portuguese built the castle, they believed that the enemy would not come from the sea, but from the army of the Sultan of Malacca, as well as the Chinese and indigenous people who might rebel inside and outside the city.

    Of the other two turrets of the castle, one turret was relatively intact and the other was destroyed.  It was destroyed by the Dutch, and it has not been repaired until now. The Dutch are just busy repairing the outer wall, thinking that the central castle will not be attacked. In history, until the British captured Malacca,

    The Dutch haven't even fixed the turret yet.

    Even the central turret was too lazy to repair. It is conceivable how arrogant the Dutch defenders were, and they didn't think it would be attacked at all.

    "How much gunpowder is there?" Saunders asked.

    Hendrick replied embarrassingly: "The gunpowder in the arsenal, except for the outermost one, is often used and ventilated to dry, and the rest are all damp."

    Sanders roared: "I'm asking you, how much gunpowder is available!"

    Hendrick said: "I fought a few days ago and moved a lot of gunpowder to the outer city wall. I didn't have time to bring it back when I retreated. Now there are only six barrels of gunpowder left"

    Sanders almost cracked when he heard it, and asked: "How did you become an army commander?"

    Hendrick asked: "Why is the salary of soldiers in the army only one-sixth of that in the navy? I am only allocated that little military expenditure every year, and I have to maintain law and order inside and outside the city. Soldiers are poor enough to work in the city. How can they have time to maintain it?"  arsenal?"

    Sanders said: "This is the decision of the company council, and I am not the only one who has the final say!"

    The two broke up unhappy, and both felt that they were justified.

    The Dutch soldiers were even more angry. Due to the long-term absence of war in Malacca, the wages of the army here are lower than those in Taiwan.  Moreover, they will be deducted by the commander, and the monthly salary of the soldiers is not even as good as the income of the Han shoemakers in the urban area.

    The number of soldiers defending the city was still small, and the colonial authorities did not want to spend money to hire servants.  Such a situation led to self-government of all ethnic groups in the city blocks, the complete free-range state of the aborigines outside the city, and the collection of agricultural taxes was purely paid by the landlords.  The Dutch army in the castle, not to mention bullying the natives outside the city, did not even dare to search for the Han people in the city.

    ?The military pay is low, and it is deducted by the chief, and there is no way to exploit the people. What do you want these Dutch soldiers in Malacca to do?

    Now, working in the city has become their main job, but returning to the castle to serve as a soldier is a side job!

    Sanders thought for a while, and called Hendrick again: "I saw that the soldiers were depressed. You give them a month's military pay. Tell them that during the defense period, they will be paid double every month."

    Bachelor Hendrick said: "No money."

    Sanders took out the warrant he issued: "Go to the treasurer and get the money."

    More than a hundred Dutch soldiers received back pay, and their morale was slightly boosted.

    They moved out all the gunpowder barrels, and at the risk of breaking up the hardened gunpowder bit by bit, they took them to the open space to dry.  The air here is too humid, and drying in the sun has no effect, so simply light the flame and put it away to bake.

    How many can be used, the devil only knows.

    The writer Neuhof threw the rusty musket aside, took out a pen and paper and continued writing:

    "I am a little scared. I don't know what the future will hold. Malacca may not be able to defend it. The army in Fort Santiago is as chaotic as ever. As long as there is no war for more than a year, these army soldiers will be slack. Either they have nothing to do, and when they are on duty to defend the city  Basking in the sun, or going to work in the city to make money during the rotation"

    "It's not what a professional soldier should look like, but unfortunately, that's how it is in the Dutch Army. It's like this in Brazil, it's like this in India, it's like this in Malacca."

    "When I was working in Brazil, there were only two Dutch soldiers in that castle. There were few residents there, and there were almost no Dutch people. They were all mixed descendants of Portuguese and South American natives. Dutch soldiers went out of the city to blackmail these mixed blood in order to make a living.  Once, four half-breed farmers,

    With their slaves, they rebelled collectively and killed the Dutch soldiers.  Since then, Dutch soldiers dare not leave the city

    &The Japanese had an idea to help him drive away the Portuguese smoothly.

    Now, it seems that Kuang Hong will not leave until he breaks the city, and he has to stand up and give advice to Kuang Hong.

    Anyway, no matter who comes, whoever has the upper hand, the Chen family will choose to help, so that they can stand firm in Malacca.

    "Who is going to negotiate?" Kuang Hong asked.

    Chen Erxun cupped his hands and said: "Caomin recommended himself."

    Kuang Hong smiled and said, "You are very courageous."

    Chen Erxun said: "The red-haired ghosts bully the weak and fear the strong. When they don't gain the upper hand, they are still polite and polite. They will never kill the negotiating envoy. As for when they gain power, it is uncertain. Caomin has seen too many foreign countries.  The barbarians are afraid of power and not virtuous. Once the barbarians gain power,

    Completely disregarding etiquette, justice, integrity and shame, even the old and weak, women and children, will kill as soon as they say it.  "

    Kuang Hong nodded: "Then please, Mr. please come."

    7017

 Text 705 [Surrender can wear silk]

    "Negotiation?"

    "Yes, the other party wants to negotiate, and it is estimated that they want us to surrender."

    "Then let's talk, it will be a day if it can be delayed."

    No matter how clever Kuang Hong was, he would never have imagined that the gunpowder of the Dutch defenders was about to run out.  The Dutch Army's coquettish operations caused the muskets to rust and the gunpowder to harden. This situation had occurred in Tainan, but it was encountered by the Han rebels, and the Datong Army had no knowledge of it.

    At this moment, the Dutch defenders are still drying gunpowder.

    "Son of a bitch!"

    Commander Hendrick was inspecting the gunpowder situation. As soon as he arrived at the place, he couldn't help swearing and shouted a Dutch word klootzak.

    He rushed over quickly, turned over the soldiers: "How many times have I told you that hardened gunpowder is not allowed to be knocked, but should be slowly ground into powder!"

    These army soldiers all belong to the prenatal education industry. They have never fought a war after serving as soldiers, let alone suffered from gunpowder explosions.

    To be honest, the Dutch were lucky enough that a large amount of gunpowder in the arsenal was damp, and it was possible to release heat and explode on its own.  They have been next to the "giant bomb" all these years, and it is their ancestors who have not all ascended to heaven.

    Generally speaking, gunpowder that is hardened and wet must be ground and then slowly dried.  You have to use the sieve again to sieve out the fine powder and then configure it, so that it can be used normally.

    However, the air in Malacca is too humid, and there is no time to wait for it to dry, so it is risky to bake.

    When baking, if the temperature is slightly higher, the gunpowder may be ignited.

    Hendrick looked at several bonfires, gunpowder placed randomly, and hammers for hammering, and suddenly had an urge to open the city and surrender.

    "This second lieutenant, come here!" Hendrick pointed to a soldier.

    The second lieutenant in the Netherlands is not a military rank at this time, but a grassroots cadre position, equivalent to the corporal leader of the Datong Army, with a little bit of education.  The late Governor of Batavia, Van Diemen, started out as an Ensign.

    A second lieutenant ran over, his name was Rial, and he could barely read some words.

    Hendrick instructed: "Whoever dares to hit gunpowder with a hammer again will have his head twisted off and stuffed in shit!"

    "Yes!" Rial held his head high.

    Hendrik left immediately, and Rial instantly became dizzy, lying there very lazily, and said to the other soldiers: "Grind slowly, don't knock. The enemy is not attacking today, so everyone takes the opportunity to rest."

    As soon as this remark came out, the hardened gunpowder was not dealt with, and the Dutch soldiers sat together and started chatting.

    The Dutch Marine Corps will not be formed for more than 20 years.  In the Dutch army at this time, the navy is the navy, and the army is the army. The navy looks down on the army, and the army hates the navy.

    Anyway, the army doesn't want to fight tough battles, and only likes to bully the natives.

    If it wasn't for the spread of the plague in Tainan, the Dutch army would not even be able to win against the natives of Taiwan. How could they be willing to go head-to-head with the Datong army?

    "I heard that there will be negotiations today. It would be great if it succeeds. I plan to go to the city to drink and find a woman to sleep with yesterday's repaid salary.

    "When I earn enough money, I will open brothels in urban areas and catch Malay women as prostitutes in the suburbs. Those brothels run by Klings (Hindus) and Nyonya (mixed-race Chinese) are really good at making money.  I'm so jealous!"

    "Haha, if you open a brothel, we will catch women for you. A Malay woman, how about selling you 50 dong?"

    "50 dong is too expensive, 20 dong at most. There are Malay natives everywhere in the suburbs. As long as you bring a musket, you can easily catch them."

    "Joan, that idiot, actually married his wife last year, and she was a Malay woman. Haha, after his wife got pregnant, he even quit drinking.

    Still have to go to the city to work.  "

    "I persuaded him, why don't you enjoy the money? Isn't it bad to drink and go to brothels? This fool exhausts himself half to death every day."

    "I'm afraid you are all envious in your hearts? After Joan got married, she can wear clean clothes every day, wash her hair and take a shower every day. She looks as clean as a nobleman. What about you? You are all homeless."

    "Even if I want to get married, I will not look for a Malay woman, I will look for a Nyonya in the city!"

    "Nyonya like you? They are all very rich."

    "When the company sends more soldiers, we will gain a firm foothold in Malacca, and then we will impose heavy taxes on those Nyonya! Let me tell you, I was transferred from Batavia, and the Chinese there have to pay heavy taxes.  .We Dutch soldiers have a lot of opportunities to blackmail the Chinese. It’s not like here, we still smile at them when we see Nyonya.”

    On the negotiating table.

    Dai Hui, the deputy envoy sent by Honglu Temple, sat at the chair of the negotiation, with??Throw down the musket first, and slip away without a sound, without being noticed by others.

    The two guys were naked and ran all the way down the mountain, but were caught by the sentry on the way.

    "An enemy surrendered? Hahahaha!"

    Kuang Hong was very happy to hear that, and said: "As promised, reward them with money!"

    1 Dutch guilder, about 10 grams of silver, and a reward of 50 Dutch guilders, only more than ten taels of silver (sixteen taels a catty).

    Hearing that the two defectors had no clothes on, Kuang Hong asked Chen Erxun to get silk, and asked them to wear them and negotiate with them tomorrow.

    Jide and Jacques, happily dressed in silk clothes, set off with Dai Hui and Chen Erxun.

    A group of people slowly climbed up the mountain and came outside the castle.

    It was explained that they were here for negotiations, and bamboo baskets were soon hung on the city.

    However, Chen Erxun angrily reprimanded: "It's fine once, the second negotiation, why don't you let us go through the door? Let's not talk!"

    The Dutch officers and soldiers in the city were baffled by these words.

    Chen Erxun turned around and left. Ji De and Jacques took off their hats and shouted to the city: "We won't talk anymore!"

    After they left, the defenders on the city whispered:

    "Those two people looked familiar just now."

    "It's familiar, it's Jade and Jacques, they must have run away last night!"

    "They seemed to be wearing silk."

    "Can you wear silk if you surrender? That's something only nobles can wear."

 Text 706 [Attack the heart and then attack the city]

    今结一条沙706 In Europe in the seventeenth century, the concept of a country was not strong, let alone a patchwork republic like the Netherlands.

    It's okay if it's the Dutch Navy, after all, the salary is much higher.

    The poor treatment of the Dutch Army, a group of low-level graduates, and most of them are bachelors, how much loyalty can they have to the Netherlands?

    Moreover, they are not soldiers of the Dutch government, but soldiers of the Dutch East India Company.  After wearing it, a group of low-level wage earners from the East India Company will definitely be tempted if there is a better way out.

    Senior staff such as Sanders obviously feel that the morale of the army is fluctuating.

    Even on the second night, a few soldiers slipped out of the city and surrendered to the Datong army, using their clothes and matchlocks as ropes.

    Sanders gave a very rude order: "From now on, on duty at night, soldiers are not allowed to wear coats, and all ropes are collected!"

    This order made the soldiers even more dissatisfied, but it was indeed very effective.

    Several city gates are all guarded by second lieutenant-level officers who personally lead troops to guard them, and at the same time, the treatment of second lieutenants and officers is improved.  other soldiers,

    In the absence of ropes, even if you want to surrender, you will not be able to get out. If you jump a few meters high, you will fall and die.

    The writer Neuhof wrote the manuscript: "There is a weird atmosphere in the castle, and there is an air of distrust everywhere. The monthly salary of the Navy second lieutenant is 1

    dong, the monthly salary of a naval soldier is 8 dong.  The salary of the army is only one-sixth of that of the navy.  It is impossible for a soldier who takes 1.3 guilders (about 0.3 taels of silver) every month to dedicate their loyalty

    The Dutch soldiers are really a group of bitter people, including the navy.

    The monthly salary of a second lieutenant in the Dutch Navy, converted into taels of silver, is about 2.7 taels.

    The monthly salary of a second lieutenant in the Dutch Army is about 0.44 taels of silver.

    And the coolie workers in Nanjing Wharf earn more than 60% per day, at least 1.8 taels a month, and sometimes even earn more than 2 taels.

    Of course, the Dutch soldiers were provided with food and lodging, and the Nanjing coolies had to take care of their own food and lodging.

    But one thing is certain, the income of soldiers in the Dutch army is far inferior to that of coolies on the docks in Nanjing.

    This is a very outrageous fact, but when you think about it carefully, you don't think it's outrageous.  In terms of productivity in Europe at this time, how high can bottom wages be?  What's more, the Netherlands is still governed by merchants, so it would be strange not to squeeze it to death.

    Those who are willing to be in the Dutch Overseas Army are all rubbish among the rubbish, and what they fancy is only food and shelter.  However, you have to buy your own clothes, you have to buy your own shoes, and if you want to drink, you have to buy your own.  If you don't go fishing to work in the city, and the natives don't attack them to plunder and exploit them, then everyone will dress like beggars.

    "In the past two days and nights, there were no enemy troops who surrendered?" Kuang Hong asked.

    Hong Xu shook his head: "No, it is estimated that the enemy generals have responded, and the enemy troops in the city cannot come out."

    Kuang Hongdao: "The strategy of attacking the heart has worked, let's start attacking the city again."

    Ever since, the native cannon fodder began to attack the city again. With sparse guns and ammunition, they rushed 10 to 20 meters outside the castle, and immediately collapsed and came back to receive food rewards.

    The Malay natives are becoming more and more proficient in their business, and they automatically comprehend the skill of cat waist forward, so that they can effectively avoid bullets.  They didn't want to go to the city anymore, and they rushed up and were familiar with the road. After rushing to a certain distance, they turned their heads and fled habitually.

    Gradually, when the Malay natives charged, Kuang Hong also included some Johor soldiers.

    The combat effectiveness of the Johor soldiers was not much stronger than that of the indigenous people. After they rushed close, the gunfire became dense and they collapsed.

    Take turns to attack every day, and both the offensive and defensive sides are used to it.

    The Dutch defenders didn't even bother to shoot from a long distance. They waited until the Malay natives and Johor soldiers rushed within 15 meters before they aimed and fired.  This round of bullets was like a signal to retreat. The natives and Johor soldiers fled immediately when they heard the gunshots.

    Don't think it's too childish, this is a bad era.

    When the Netherlands attacked Malacca, the European mercenaries who were the main force in the siege also looked like this when they fought.  At that time, there were more than 2 Portuguese defenders and more than a thousand mercenaries attacked. After fighting for almost a year, the number of mercenaries who died in the battle was only single digits, but more than half of them fell down due to illness.

    "What kind of ghostly battle are you fighting? If you attack the city like this, you won't be able to win it for a year." Hong Xu couldn't help complaining.

    Kuang Hongdao: "In addition to the Siamese soldiers, soldiers from the other countries will also mix in and take turns to attack tomorrow."

    The addition of soldiers from other countries has significantly increased the intensity of the siege.

    Soon, some soldiers rushed to the city, frightened the Dutch defenders to shoot and reload in a hurry.

    The gunpowder in the castle is ground, dried and baked every day.Get up bravely, rush to the city wall one by one, and start the real battle with enthusiasm.

    One enemy tower after another, one bastion after another, like dominoes falling, were continuously captured.

    Some of the Dutch defenders with low will to fight even didn't bother to escape, and knelt down and begged for surrender.

    The small countries of the Malay Peninsula and Sumatra hated the Dutch madly.  They didn't care about surrendering. At this time, they rushed up with the friendly army and killed the Dutch when they saw them, including those who were kneeling on the ground.

    Hendrick and the civilian staff, as well as more than 4 surviving Dutch soldiers, all withdrew to the last bastion.

    ?After several consecutive attacks and more than 2 casualties, the bastion could not be captured.

    Yin Rude, the Datong officer in charge of the siege: "Stop attacking forcefully, surround them, and starve to death thirsty these dogs!"

    It is true that you will die of starvation and thirst. As long as all the passages are blocked, the last bastion will have no water or food.

    Neuhoff to Sanders: "Mr. Congressman, I think it's time to surrender. We are just employees of the company, and we only have the duty to work for the company, not the obligation to die for the company."

    It is a company, not a country!

 Text 707 [The plans of the diplomats and the navy]

    Zhenjuan 1 Sleepy Shoal 707 "Dear Mr. Chinese Ambassador, I am Saunders, a councilor and senior staff member of the Dutch East India Company. The army you lead is very heroic. I am willing to surrender to you on behalf of the company. Please ensure that all employees of the company  safety of life…”

    Sanders walked out of the bastion with his men, bowed down in a very gentlemanly salute, and then babbled a lot.

    Kuang Hong expressed his attitude: "The Dutch officials and soldiers in Malacca did not harm the Chinese civilians, so you are innocent. However, the two countries are at war, and casualties are inevitable. My soldiers suffered a lot, which was caused by you. Now your  You are prisoners of war. You will all be imprisoned until Governor Batavia comes up with a plan to completely resolve the conflict between the two countries."

    All the Dutch, including Sanders, breathed a sigh of relief.

    ?Because of the Chinese and other seven-nation coalition forces, hundreds of people were killed and injured before and after the siege, and the casualties of the Malay aborigines were close to 1,000.  Fearing that this would anger Kuang Hong, they ordered to kill all the surviving Dutchmen.

    The arsenal in the central castle was quickly emptied.  Whether it is compacted gunpowder or dried gunpowder, they are all thrown into the sea and destroyed.

    These things are too unstable, and they will explode if you are not careful, so you must deal with them as soon as possible to make people feel at ease.

    After the arsenal was emptied, Sanders and other Dutch prisoners of war were imprisoned in the arsenal.

    Immediately, Kuang Hong ordered: "Count the property in the castle, and reward the soldiers of all countries for their merits!"

    Malacca is the exclusive port of the Netherlands, and ships from other countries cannot enter the port.  Of course, it is also possible to enter the port, but a super high port entry tax is charged, so merchant ships from various countries generally choose to replenish at the ports of Johor or Aceh.

    Dutch merchant ships come twice a year to take away the goods stored in Malacca.

    There are also some merchant ships that will transport some commodities and store them in Malacca.  For example, the commodities purchased from Thailand will all be transshipped to Malacca, mainly hematoxylin, ash and fur.

    "My lord, there are a lot of goods in the warehouse, and it takes time to figure out how much it is worth. In addition, there are dozens of black slaves in the castle. How to deal with these slaves?"

    "Neggers? Did they go to war?"

    "They didn't have weapons, but they helped carry things during the war. After interrogation, these black slaves were either servants of Dutch officials or porters in the castle warehouse."

    "It's not good to release them directly. These black slaves probably can't find a living. His Majesty also forbids the army to sell slaves. Let them work as coolies first. The auctioned materials just need someone to carry the goods. Choose a few smart black slaves and let them  They were in charge of the other niggers."

    The seized Dutch goods seem to be a lot, but they are actually of little value in exchange for silver. After all, they are all Southeast Asian specialties, and they have to be shipped to Europe to really make a fortune.

    Just like coal, how much can you earn by selling it in Shanxi?

    Several small countries helped to send troops. Since Malacca was taken down, they would get some profit.

    Kuang Hong called all the leading generals from various countries and announced: "I will give you half of the materials seized in Malacca. The Siamese army should be rewarded for their bravery in battle. Of the half of the materials, Siam alone takes two of them."  The rest will be shared according to the number of troops sent by each country."

    "Thank you, Lord Angel!" Prince Narai was overjoyed.  The second thing is to get more spoils, mainly because of the favor of Chinese officials,

    Kuang Hong continued: "Everyone has contributed to the war, and you can follow me to Nanjing to meet His Majesty the Emperor. If you send your own boat, you can bring as many people as you like, and you are responsible for the travel expenses. If you take a Chinese ship to Nanjing, you can bring one person with you.  All the travel expenses for the entourage within are borne by China."

    ?For small countries like Dani and Dingjialu, they only have small mountain boards near the sea, and they do not have the ability to go to China by themselves.  As soon as this remark came out, they were overjoyed, and they all wanted to go to China with the boat to see, anyway, China promised to pay for the travel expenses.

    Big countries like Johor and Siam want to take the opportunity to engage in trade.  They are easy to be robbed when they go to sea independently, and they can avoid the risk of pirates by going with the Chinese navy.

    After pacifying the nobles of these small countries, the local Chinese leader Chen Erxun actually came to offer advice.

    "My lord, since the heavenly soldiers have occupied Malacca, they can send troops to seize Ambon Island." Chen Erxun said.

    Kuang Hong asked confused: "Where is Ambon Island?"

    Chen Erxun: "According to this, the sea route is thousands of miles away. I heard that it is in the southern waters of Sulu Kingdom."

    Kuang Hong laughed and said, "You know something so far away?"

    ? Chen Erxun said: "Small people have settled in Malacca for generations, and Ambon Island is the starting point of the spice trade. Every year, countless spicesThe capital is not far from the other side of the Singapore Strait.  The last time Johor moved its capital was when the capital was burned down by Portugal. Since then, even Singapore has not been taken seriously, and now only a group of Malay natives live there.

    It is estimated that a few thousand taels of silver can buy the whole of Singapore from Johor, because that place is really worthless, and even the land can't grow a few grains.

    Hong Xu pointed casually: "It's better to occupy this whole piece."

    The piece Hong Xu pointed to was the archipelago south of Singapore, including Batam Island, Linga Island, Singji Island, etc., all of which belonged to the territory of Johor at this time.

    Kuang Hong shook his head and said: "There are too many, all of which are barren islands, and they don't have the energy to manage them after they are occupied, as long as Temasek is the throat."

 Body 708 [The Overseas Homeland of the Han Family]

    Aceh, the lower reaches of Palembang City, the mouth of the Musi River.

    There is a port town here, and the surrounding residents are all Han Chinese and mixed descendants of Han Chinese.  No aborigines could be found, and even if there were aborigines, they had already learned to speak Chinese, and their clothing and customs remained the same as those in the early Ming Dynasty.

    ? The highest official who rules this place is the chief of the clan.

    Moreover, the father died and the son succeeded, or the father died and the daughter succeeded, the surname has been Shi for more than two hundred years.

    There are four people in the room.

    Shi Cunzhang took out a camphor wood box, he took out a key, and the other three also took out their keys.

    Open all four locks.

    ? Shi Cunzhang carefully held out the copper seal, on which the inscription was "Seal of the Propaganda and Consolation Envoy of the Old Port of the Ming Dynasty".  Below the copper seal is the imperial edict of the Ming Dynasty conferring on the Old Port Propaganda Envoy, as well as the documents of the Consolation Envoy issued by the Ministry of Officials of the Ming Dynasty.

    Shi Cunzhang held the copper seal and said: "For three hundred years, the four surnames Shi, Chen, Liang, and Qiu have thrived in Jiugang. Our territory should be the entire Jiugang, not this small town by the sea. I am the head of the Shi family.  , It should be the consolation envoy of the old port of Ming Dynasty, not the governor of Aceh. Now, the old port has been renamed Palembang, and it has been stolen by those natives for hundreds of years. It's time to take it back!"

    Chen Sanwei doubted: "Da Ming is gone, will Datong Xinchao help us?"

    "It will definitely!" Qiu Fang said, "Last year, China defeated the Netherlands in a naval battle, and recently attacked Malacca. Now, His Majesty the Emperor, is determined to be a talented and bold generation. We should follow the example of our ancestors, raise troops to seize the old port, and present land to the emperor as a vassal."  !"

    ?Liang Yutian said: "Yes, seize the old port, and serve as a vassal!"

    Shi Cunzhang asked: "The Chen family is unwilling to raise troops?"

    Chen Sanwei said: "If you don't want to raise an army, what am I going to do today? But you must be cautious about raising an army. It's best to contact the Chinese envoy first."

    Qiu Fang said: "The noble envoy of the Celestial Dynasty may have a lot of doubts. Why don't you raise troops and communicate with each other at the same time, make cooked rice with raw rice, and don't want to give him merit for nothing?"

    Chen Sanwei also said: "Over the old port, Aceh's city is easy to attack. But the Dutch castle outside the city is very strong. Should we attack the old port city first, or the Dutch castle first?"

    Liang Yutian smiled and said: "It's not that we haven't been to the Old Port. The Dutch castle outside the city has long since lost the morale of the army. If we want to fight, we should fight together, catch them by surprise, and take them down in one fell swoop!"

    This is the easternmost part of Sumatra Island. Banten has a piece of land, and the rest is the territory of Aceh.

    The country of Aceh once expanded wildly, but after bordering the country of Banten, it stopped expanding.  The two countries fought a few battles, regardless of the outcome, so they simply stopped fighting and developed in other directions.

    Therefore, although the old port is considered a border city, after many years of cessation of troops, the Aceh defenders here have not fought.  Neither the nobles nor the soldiers had any vigilance, and a sudden attack could easily take the city down.

    There is a Dutch castle outside the city.

    The Netherlands and Aceh are allies, protected by the Aceh army, and the Netherlands has very few troops stationed there.  Throughout Palembang, the Dutch East India Company only sent

    3 civil servants and 2 soldiers are responsible for purchasing the special taxi products here and transporting them to the seaport through the Musi River, but the seaport is in the hands of the Han people.

    The history of the Han people occupying the harbor is longer than the history of the Qi State, which can be traced back to the era of the Majapahit State!

    Before the Majapahit Kingdom, the Han even controlled Palembang City.  At that time, it was still under the rule of Sanfoqi. The Manjaboyi Kingdom destroyed Sanfoqi and came to attack Palembang City. The Han people were defeated, so they gave up Palembang and moved to live by the sea.

    Then, the Danmu Kingdom destroyed Majapahit, and the Danmu Kingdom split and perished again, becoming the Wandan Kingdom and the Matalan Kingdom.  On the Palembang side, Aceh took the opportunity to occupy it.

    In other words, when the Han people ruled here,

    What Aceh, Banten, Matalam, Danmuall have not been established yet.

    As early as the early Ming Dynasty, there were tens of thousands of Han Chinese living in Palembang, most of whom fled from the troubled times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty!

    A few days later, the four major surnames called the tribe, and the other minor surnames were also called.

    On the high platform.

    Shi Cunzhang took out the bronze seal, drew his sword and shouted: "I am the consolation envoy of the old port of China, not the chief of Aceh! The old port is the old port, not Laoshizijugang, which was changed by the barbarians of the country. What is the name of Manjapahit?"  , what Danmu country, and the current Aceh country are all foreign invaders"

    "The Sultan of Aceh is tyrannical, cruel, and exploitative! The Han compatriots in and around the old port city were taxed heavily more than ten years ago, and the tax was getting heavier and heavier! On our Xingang side, the amount of tax we need to pay every year is also increasing.  Set higher. And damn the Dutchman, fourteen yearsA Dutchman was brought before Shi Cunzhang.

    Shi Cunzhang grinned grinningly and said: "Cut them all, leave no one behind, and take over the castle and goods!"

    These Dutch people were also unlucky. Aceh officials in Palembang City, at least someone tipped off the news, and received the news that the rebels were killing them ten miles away.  The Dutch in Hexinzhou Castle seldom leave, and they didn't find out until the rebel army killed them a mile away.  uu reading <a href="http://www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a>

    The Han uprising army continued to advance, and Palembang City was already heavily guarded.

    After the Aceh Kingdom formed an alliance with the Netherlands, it bought a lot of guns and artillery, which is one of the reasons why it can expand wildly.  At this moment, there are one thousand defenders in the city, two hundred of them have muskets, and there are eight fire cannons in the city.

    Shi Cunzhang is not worried about this. He didn't dare to raise troops before, because he couldn't stop Aceh's follow-up attack.  Once Palembang is gone, the Sultan of Aceh will definitely send a large army to take it back, and the Han people here will not be able to carry it back.

    But now they are not afraid, they can contact the Chinese army!

    Shi Cunzhang pointed to Palembang City in front of him, and shouted excitedly: "That city was built by our ancestors. Our ancestors were once the masters of the city. Now let me take it back!"

    Can't wait to get together at night, because the city is already in chaos.

    There are many Han merchants in the city, all of whom come from the four major Han surnames.  The officials and soldiers of Aceh, fearing that the Han businessmen would take the opportunity to make trouble, wanted to preemptively attack the Han people's shops and residences.

    The most nonsense are those Aceh soldiers.  The rebels outside the city are about to kill them, and they are still burning, killing and looting in the city. The target is nothing more than the wealth in the hands of the Han people!

    There are already hundreds of rebels lurking in the city, and Han merchants have already contacted them.

    The atrocities committed by Aceh soldiers made the actions of the rebels in the city smoother, and the Han civilians were forced to stand on the side of the rebels, otherwise they would not even be able to save their lives.

 Text 709 [Lost Land Returns Surrender]

    Before the spoils seized in Malacca were sold out, the clansmen sent by Shi Cunzhang for help had already arrived by sea boat.

    Guang Kuanghong took out the nautical chart and asked, "Where are you from?"

    The name of the visitor was Shi Cunwen. He pointed to the chart and said, "Here. This is the territory of the Aceh Kingdom, and tens of miles to the east is the territory of the Wandan Kingdom. This city, originally named Jiugang, was renamed by the Fanbang barbarians.  Palembang. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Han people founded the country here. The ancestors of the Liang family were kings.

    The ancestor of my Shi family was the deputy king.  "

    "In the third year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of various families sent envoys to Beijing to pay tribute.  In the fifth year of Yongle, the ancestor of my Shi family was appointed as the consolation envoy of the old port of Ming Dynasty by Emperor Yongle.  The land of the old port has since become the land of the Ming Dynasty, and now it is naturally the land of the Datong.  We can take the Old Port City by ourselves, but the Sultan of Aceh must send troops to attack.  Please, Lord Angel, send troops to help us defend the city!  "

    Kuang Hong was very surprised when he heard this: "Da Ming actually has overseas territory? Do you have a certificate?"

    Shi Cunwen took out a piece of paper, on which was stamped the seal pattern of "Daming Old Port Propaganda and Consolation Envoy".

    Kuang Hong carefully identified it, then handed it to Hong Xu and said, "Has General Hong heard of this?"

    Hong Xu shook his head and said, "I've never heard of it."

    Shi Cunwen explained: "During the five years of Ming Dynasty's orthodox rule, the Ming fleet no longer went to sea, and the Manchu Boyi Kingdom became greedy and sent a large army to besiege the old port city. My Han family, Erlang, had few people and was weak. After a hard fight, we lost troops and lost generals.  We can only negotiate a reconciliation. Manjaboyi was also afraid of too many casualties, so he agreed to peace talks. The Han people handed over the city and moved to the present Xingang. The ancestors of my Shi family were named the chief of Xingang.

    "Later, Danmu Kingdom rose and destroyed Majapahit. Danmu was divided into Wandan Kingdom and Matalan Kingdom due to civil strife. Aceh took the opportunity to seize the old port city. I, Han Jiaerlang, have been dormant for more than a hundred years and worked hard to support it.  I dare not make too high a profile, so all parties don’t know much about the Old Port Consolation Envoy"

    "Wait!" Kuang Hong interrupted suddenly, went back to his cabin, and took out a copy of "Yingya Shenglan".

    "Yingya Shenglan" was written in the second year of Jingtai, and it is almost impossible for the people to find it. The Datong court only discovered it when it moved to the library in Beijing of the Ming Dynasty.

    The author of this book is Ma Huan, a native of Shaoxing, Hui nationality, proficient in Persian and Arabic, and a translator for Zheng He.  In his book "Ying Ya Sheng Lan", he sorted out and recorded the situation of more than 20 countries that Zheng He passed through during his voyages to the Western Ocean, including sea routes, tides, geography, kings, politics, customs, humanities, language, climate,  Currency, wild animals and more.

    Kuang Hong served as an envoy this time and carefully read "Yingya Shenglan".

    He quickly searched for a while, and finally found the relevant content: (Old Port Xuanwei Division) is connected to Java in the east, the border of Manchuria in the west, mountains in the south, and the sea in the north.  The land is densely populated and the fields are fertile.  The climate is warm, with frequent rain in spring and summer.  The soil is fertile and suitable for crops.  Language cloud: one year to plant grain, three years to produce gold.  It is said that the harvest is prosperous and the trade gold is abundant.

    "It's a good place to plant grain for one year and produce gold for three years," Kuang Hong said with emotion, "Unexpectedly, after more than two hundred years, you are still living in Jiugang

    I thought there were no Han people there.  "

    Shi Cunwen said: "There are Han Chinese, and there are many of them. They can speak Chinese, at least 100,000 to 200,000! The soil there is fertile, the grain harvest is very large, and all the land has been reclaimed as fertile land. It is all thanks to my Han people's three hundred years of reclamation. And the sea route is blocked.  The throat was once the supply ground for the Sanbao eunuch."

    "The supply place for the Sanbao eunuch?" Kuang Hong's eyes lit up.

    Shi Cunwen pointed to the nautical chart and said: "Sanbao eunuch's fleet, after crossing Jiaozhi, if the wind is smooth, it can reach the old port in five days. If you go west from the old port, you can go to the western countries through Malacca. If you go east from the old port, you can go  Java Island, return to Fujian from Luzon!"

    Kuang Hong and Hong Xu looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise on each other's faces.

    With the old port (Palembang),

    What more Temasek (Singapore)?

    After all, Singapore at this time does not shit, there are only a few indigenous people on the island, and not much food can be grown.  Moreover, after occupying Malacca, Singapore's geographical advantages were also repeated.

    As for Palembang, the land is fertile, densely populated, and abundant in food, and it can also radiate Aceh, Banten, and Batavia.  What's even more commendable is that there are Han people everywhere here, so there is no need to spend any more energy on development.  A natural overseas base, taking this place and combining it with Malacca will overwhelm the Dutch, and all the countries in Southeast Asia are under the control of the Datong Navy!

    Don't want Singapore, but Palembang!

    Guang Kuang Hong's mind turned, and he already had an idea.

    After he returns to Beijing, he will ask the emperor to restore the "Old Port Propaganda Department", and the old port will be handed over to the Han gentry there for management.  And Xingang is the real seaport, where the Datong Navy builds a base,?Even if the prestige is greatly lost, it is the loss of the sultan's prestige.  He is a prophet, he is a powerful minister, as long as he can stabilize his own interests,

    The big deal is to change to a Sudan.

    The Aceh Kingdom expanded too much before, its territory doubled several times, and there were many internal conflicts.  The former Sudan was able to suppress and transfer conflicts by relying on foreign wars, but now it has become chaotic. Once there is a big defeat, the entire country may be torn apart.

    Stability is the top priority in everything, and everything is to avoid division. Giving up the wealthy Palembang is also acceptable.

    As long as it becomes a vassal state of China, the external pressure will disappear, and Uma's position as a powerful minister will be stabilized.  Even, as long as it can be exchanged for China's care, internal and external stability, and the sending of all the eastern territories of Aceh, Uma thinks it can be considered.

 Text 710 [Chaos into a pot of porridge]

    There is a fierce fight in Malacca. In the territory of the ally Aceh, there are also Han people raising troops to fight for independence. What is the governor of Batavia doing?

    He is guarding against Wandan Kingdom!

    As early as when the Datong Navy robbed Dutch merchant ships, Banten Kingdom began to jump.  Instead of directly attacking Batavia, they engaged in friction on the Matalam border, and the British also took the opportunity to send troops to do so.

    Due to the continuous suppression of the Netherlands, the British influence in Java is very weak.  Didn't even bother to station the warships, only in the castle near Banten, with a few civilians, and 16 British Army soldiers.

    Why not attack the Netherlands, but attack Matalam instead?

    Because the current Sultan of Mataram chose to cooperate with the Netherlands, it seriously violated the interests of Banten and the United Kingdom!

    Just when Matalan Sultan Amanggurat I sent someone to ask for help from the Netherlands, the Netherlands sent 500 troops to help.  An uprising broke out in Matalam. The indigenous aristocrat, Trunozojo, held high the banner of fighting against the oppression of the Netherlands, and gathered thousands of troops to attack the capital of Matalam.

    These insurgents are also interesting. Their slogan is to fight against the Dutch, but instead of attacking the Netherlands, they attack their own capital.

    The reason for such nonsense is that the Netherlands and Mataram are sworn enemies!

    Ma Talam's predecessor, Sultan Radeng Langsang, was also a hero.  Twice he led the army to besiege Batavia.

    After the defeat, Ladeng Langsang began to cultivate his health.  He reformed the domestic calendar, reformed the tax system, encouraged maritime trade, and seriously developed the economy.  It is planned to develop the army and navy after the strength is strong, and finally have a decisive battle with the Dutch.

    It is a pity that although this hero has a remarkable effect in internal affairs and has made Ma Talan rich and powerful, he has a successor who is eager to enjoy himself.

    After Amang Goulart I succeeded to the throne, relying on the abundant treasury left by his father, he began to build palaces, search for and buy exotic beauties, and live in the palace all day long.  In a few years, the treasury was empty, so they began to extort money.

    In addition to the aggression of the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, Mataram lost control of shipping, trade declined, and production slumped.

    The local nobles in the country were already very dissatisfied. Amanggurat I did not want to appease them. Instead, he took the initiative to give the Dutch the right to purchase spices and use the Dutch army to suppress domestic rebellions.

    Even if the uprising does not break out now, it will in a few years.

    Historically, the aristocratic rebel army not only captured the capital, but also controlled the entire coastal area of ??East Java. The tyrant Amanggurat I was also killed by the rebel army.  This guy's son once again relied on the Netherlands to suppress the rebellion. The price was that Matalam became a vassal of the Netherlands and ceded part of its territory to the Netherlands.

    "Your Excellency, the rebels have captured Semarang, and the Sultan of Mataram once again asked for help. The Sultan promised that as long as he helps him destroy the rebels, Mataram is willing to be a vassal state of the Netherlands."

    "Semarang is a big city, how did the rebels fight so fast?"

    "The Tang people in Semarang have joined the rebels."

    "Tang people, Tang people, these damn Chinese again!"

    When Van der Lin heard words such as "Tang people" and "China", he felt uncomfortable.  There are too many bad things related to China, which made him unable to resign safely, and insisted on making all kinds of moths and disgusting people.

    In fact, the Chinese in Semarang announced to join the Mataram Rebel Army. The reason has nothing to do with race, but has a huge relationship with religion!

    The tyrant Sultan of Mataram, in order to gain power and curry favor with the Dutch, went so far as to crack down on the local religious forces while conniving at the Dutch missionaries to spread Christianity.  This move angered Green Christians all over the country.  This uprising is tantamount to a tripartite alliance of sects, nobles and common people.

    Wherever the rebel army passed by, there was no need to fight at all, and religious sects, nobles and people from all over the world rushed to help.

    And the Chinese in Semarang are almost all Green Christians!

    This is also Zheng He's supply base. The Chinese converted to Green Religion, and Zheng He made great efforts.

    Zheng He's voyage to Nanyang was also a journey to spread Green Education.  Champa, Old Port, and Semarang are the three major missionary bases of Zheng He, and the local leaders he appointed are all Green Christians.

    Those Chinese who revolted in Palembang before were all Green Christians!

    ?Second Sister Shi, the second Daming Old Port Propaganda Envoy, has an adopted son named Sunan Jili.  With the help of Second Sister Shi, this person actively opened up Chinese dioceses,

    ?Not only preached in Sumatra, but even developed the power of the sect to Java, and was honored by later generations as "the greatest of the nine sages of the Green Sect in Java".

    Although the Shi family in Palembang is not obvious, but as long as the name of "Pinachi" is displayed, the Green Christians in Sumatra and Java, regardless of Chinese or aborigines.But to quell the civil strife, it also expanded the territory several times.

    The cub sells Ye Tian not to panic, go to hell!

    However, it is said that Kuang Hong came from Malacca and did not go directly to Batavia, but went to Palembang to meet the Chinese leaders there.

    After shopping for two days, Kuang Hong felt complicated.

    The people are Chinese faces, the words are Fujian and Cantonese dialects, and the clothes and buildings are Chinese.  But the mosque there made Kuang Hong a little nervous. Almost all Han Chinese believed in the Green Sect.

    In this regard, Kuang Hong could not express his dissatisfaction, so he could only leave angrily, and came to negotiate with the Dutch by boat.

    The conditions he set made Van der Lin very angry.

    First, Malacca belongs to China.

    Second, the Netherlands terminated its alliance with Aceh, and Aceh was later a vassal state of China.

    Third, the Netherlands gave up the exclusive right to acquire spices from Aceh, and gave up the right of first priority to acquire spices from Matalan.

    Fourth, the Netherlands compensated 10,000 taels of silver.

    Fifth, the Netherlands allows the Han people in Batavia to have the right to live and leave freely, and no longer imposes heavy taxes on the Han people in Batavia.

    Sixth, the Netherlands recognizes Taiwan as Chinese territory.

 Text 711【All nations come to Korea】

    "Huh!"

    After signing the contract, Van der Lin watched the Chinese negotiating team leave.  He let out a sigh of relief, feeling that he must be doomed, and all the money he had earned in the past six months had to be taken out when he returned to the Netherlands.

    It can really be settled with money, especially after the cancellation of the Dutch deacons and the seven provinces gaining greater local autonomy.

    For the Dutch East India Company, the highest organization is the Seventeen-member Conference, followed by the Seven Provinces' Ministry of Commerce.

    Decades ago, the seven major business departments competed with each other, and sometimes even defeated each other.  In the midst of competition and dismantling, a tacit understanding was gradually developed, and a series of unspoken rules were born, and at the same time, they cooperated with each other to strive for greater power.

    For example, in the seven provincial capitals, each city has four mayors.

    After the barbaric growth of the East India Company, it has already controlled the local administrative region.  Three of the four mayors must be members of the Ministry of Commerce, and sometimes even all four mayors are members of the Ministry of Commerce.  The twenty-eight mayors of the Dutch provinces are firmly controlled by the East India Company.

    The company is the country, and the country is the company, unless the company is going to close down if it doesn't make money.

    Moreover, although the East India Company offered shares, it never issued stock certificates.  How much money is invested by which shareholder is all recorded in the account books of the Ministry of Commerce of each province.  The account books of the provincial commercial departments are not interoperable, and only report the specific situation of shareholders, and then accept the supervision of the headquarters.

    Large and small shareholders are very short-sighted. At the beginning, dividends were paid twice a year, and the dividends were distributed before the profits were calculated-directly distributed to major shareholders such as spices, and major shareholders then sold them.

    After constant disputes and compromises, the dividends are finally paid out once a year, and the dividends are only divided into gold and silver, not commodities, but the dividend time is still before the balance of accounts.  Such a dividend distribution model regardless of long-term goals led to a situation where the Dutch East India Company would always be heavily in debt despite huge profits.

    This way of operating, once overseas interests are damaged, it is very likely to collapse directly.

    Van der Lin said to Commander Van der Laan: "Take someone to help Matalan suppress the rebels, take Matalan as a vassal, and seize a spice production area. Maybe we will have less trouble after returning to the Netherlands."

    Van der Laan asked: "What about Banten and the British coalition forces? They have been attacking the Matalam border and have captured several towns."

    Van der Lin said: "After helping the Sultan of Mataram to restore the country, bring Banten and the Netherlands to negotiate together. The UK has few soldiers. As long as Banten withdraws its troops, the UK will have nothing to do. Ceded the two border cities of Matalam  If it is given to the Banten Kingdom, the Banten Sultan will definitely be willing to accept it."

    During the conversation between the two, they sold Ma Dalan, and by the way, they disgusted Britain.

    Van der Lin said with a smile: "Bantan and Matalan have a feud, and it would be better if they ceded one piece, and they will have a new territorial dispute. If we continue to provoke the relationship between the two countries, we will be able to mediate from it, and we will always be invincible!"

    Looking at the expansion of the Netherlands in Asia, the military often only accounts for three points, and diplomatic strategies account for seven points.  Moreover, by repeating those two tricks, provoking the indigenous countries to fight each other and provoking the indigenous countries to fight for power, the sparsely populated Dutch colonists could sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

    On Kuang Hong's side, he left the Governor's Mansion triumphantly, and immediately announced the results of the negotiations when he arrived in the urban area. The Chinese in Batavia cheered and sent them off.

    ? "Supplementary Treaty to the Batavia Treaty", after negotiations between the two parties, the complete content is as follows:

    First, Malacca belongs to China, but the Netherlands has the right to enter the port, and the port entry tax for Dutch merchant ships is half that of ships from other countries.

    Second, the Netherlands does not need to dissolve its alliance with Aceh, but Aceh will be a vassal state of China in the future.

    Third, the Netherlands gave up the exclusive right to acquire spices from Aceh, and gave up the right of first priority to acquire spices from Matalan.

    Fourth, the Netherlands compensated China with a thousand taels of silver.

    Fifth, the Han people in Batavia have the right to live and leave freely,

    The amount of tax required to be paid is the same as that of Javanese natives.

    Sixth, the Netherlands recognizes Taiwan as Chinese territory, but Dutch ships can dock in Taiwan for supplies.

    Seventh, the treaty is valid for ten years.

    Ceylon (Sri Lanka), Trincomalee Port.

    It was originally a Portuguese colonial port, but it was seized by the Netherlands ten years ago.

    A Dutch fleet came, loaded with opium and other goods, and their destination was Batavia.

    The new governor, Karl Rainiers, felt something was wrong as soon as he entered the port, because there was a lot of turmoil here, and there were obviously more Dutch warships.

    He recruited Kuhn, who is in charge of the local Netherlands, and asked: "Why are there more than ten warships here?"

    Kuhn replied: "Malacca is being attacked, and the two warships stationed in Malacca, as well as the warships on the Indian side, are all gathered together."Are you angry?  "

    "Hahaha," Liu Xiangke said with a smile, "Your Majesty heard that Ju Meng was good at launching wars, so he just cursed nonsense. I think about it, His Majesty also has the intention of making progress in Nanyang, but there is no time in all aspects.  You will definitely be punished. Now that you have won the battle, the loss is still small, and there may be punishment, but His Majesty likes it in his heart."

    "So good, so good!" Kuang Hong breathed a sigh of relief.

    Both of them are not from Jiangxi, and Kuang Hong's father, Kuang Lu, was transferred back to the capital for reuse.  Now that Kuang Hong has also made great contributions, Liu Xiangke hastened to curry favor and briefed him on the situation along the way.

    Don't look at Liu Xiangke, who reprimanded the foreign monarch as his grandson when he was on a mission abroad, and acted like a famous minister who was not afraid of death.  In fact, this guy is used to sycophancy, while maintaining a clean and honest image, while acting as a dog's leg to important officials in the court.

    After a group of people entered the city, there was a commotion in the city, and countless people stood on both sides of the street to watch the excitement.

    Zou Zhongyi, a student of Jinling University, is standing on the side of the street with his classmates at the moment.  He looked at Kuang Hong who was coming on horseback, and the many foreign envoys,

    My heart surged and said: "A man should be like this. After I graduate next year, I will also be admitted as a Jinshi to become an official in the capital. I will be an official of Honglu Temple, sail a huge boat all over the world, and bring envoys from all countries to meet the Holy Son of Heaven! What about Osman,  France, what Spain, England, all let their envoys go to Nanjing to face the Holy Spirit!"

 Body 712【Nanyang Strategy】

    The heads of Da Yuer and Shunzhi were sent in the beginning of spring, and they arrived in Beijing at the same time with detailed battle reports.

    The cavalry division and the independent regiment, one forced the Tartar civilians to be cannon fodder, and the other slaughtered the surrendered Tartars.  These two incidents are serious violations of military discipline, but the cavalry division and the independent regiment have made great achievements again!

    Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua, when the first good news came, they had already started to ask for retirement.

    Two requests and two resignations, only the third time, this is probably the last time they will participate in the discussion.

    Li Banghua said: "The Ministry of War asks for a severe punishment, but Wang Tingchen and Yang Zhenqing have made great contributions to the body, and the two of them can make up for their crimes. As for the other soldiers, they should still be rewarded, and they cannot be chilled."

    Pang Chunlai, who was about to leave the court, refuted Li Banghua for the first time, and said in a firm tone: "Wang Tingchen and Yang Zhenqing deserve a big reward! Tartar,

    Barbarians are also fearful of power but not virtuous.  Treat well today, betray tomorrow, the more you kill, the better!  "

    As he spoke, Pang Chunlai stood up and said excitedly: "Wang Tingchen led a cavalry division and ran for hundreds of miles. Not only did they wipe out the elite Tartars, but they also blocked the Tartars' retreat to the north. Yang Zhenqing led thousands of people,  Not to mention conquering the fortresses one after another, he led more than a thousand people to attack the mountains. I heard that some soldiers fainted from hunger during the siege, and finally they conquered Jianzhou, the puppet capital of the Tartars. Such a good general is rare in a thousand years, and he deserves to be named a marquis!"

    Li Banghua wanted to refute it very much. The reason was that since the military regulations were established, it is natural to follow the rules.

    However, Pang Chunlai, the chief assistant, has always been amiable. As long as Li Banghua speaks, he will basically not object.  This kind of long-term release of goodwill caused Li Banghua to owe countless favors. Now that everyone is leaving, why bother to make trouble?

    Li Banghua remained silent, but still looked at Zhao Han expectantly.

    Zhao Han seemed to be thinking: "If you have meritorious service, you must be punished. Yang Zhenqing has made great contributions in surprise attacking Dazi and puppet. He is a feudal prince. But he committed suicide without authorization,

    Although there is a reason for the incident, it cannot go unpunished.  His military power was lifted, all his military posts were dismissed, and he was ordered to return to Beijing immediately to work as a teacher in Jinling Military Equipment School.  "

    Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua looked at each other, and there was no longer any dispute.

    It is necessary to be a marquis, so as to encourage the soldiers of the three armies to fight the enemy bravely.  Dismissal from the military is also considered a heavy punishment, which can maintain the majesty of military regulations. As for returning to Beijing to become a teacher, it can be regarded as punishment, or it can be regarded as reuse in disguise, depending on what the emperor will do in the future.

    Today, there are four armed forces schools, located in Nanjing, Chengdu, Nanchang and Beiping, and one will be built in Xi'an in the future.

    The source of students for the Armed Forces School is firstly middle and low-level officers with good performance, secondly ordinary soldiers who have made great contributions, and thirdly middle school graduates who have relatively good grades but cannot go to college at public expense.

    After graduating from a military school, a military student is originally a soldier, and he is immediately promoted in situ.  If it is a middle school student who finishes military school, he will at least be a senior in the army.

    (Similar to a squad leader), and those who are extremely outstanding will directly serve as captains (similar to a company commander).

    The military academy has been open for nearly ten years, and more than 800 people have graduated one after another. Except for those who were wounded and discharged, all of them served as officers in the army.

    Military school graduates are already an important force in the military system.

    ?Transfer Yang Zhenqing to the military academy as a teacher. If the emperor doesn't like it, it's Xuezang. If the emperor likes it, he is training him.  If one day he holds military power again, he will at least be a deputy division commander, or even become a division commander directly.

    Zhao Han said again: "The same is true for Wang Tingchen, who have made merits and demerits. His title remains the same, and he is awarded General Zhaoyong (the third rank) and a captain of Qingche.

    (From Sanpin).  He was punished for copying military regulations fifty times, fined for three months, and suspended for one month to reflect behind closed doors.  Wang Yaochen, the chief mission officer of the cavalry division, followed Wang Tingchen to mess around, and also only rewarded Wu Xun and Wu San In addition, give their wives an imperial order.  "

    "Your Majesty is wise." Li Banghua flattered him immediately.

    The royal wife of the Datong court has no salary and no privileges, it just sounds nice.

    But this is enough to make the civil and military ministers happy. The so-called enfeoffment of a wife is a seal of command.

    Wang Tingchen's contribution this time can increase his title.  If you violate the military regulations, you will naturally have to discount it. You only got General Zhaoyong and Captain Qingche.

    All of them belonged to the honorary title of general, and the appointment of his wife was a form of compensation in disguise.

    After processing the rewards of the two heroes, the rewards and punishments of the rest of the military generals can be left to the Ministry of War and the Dudu Mansion for processing. They will report it when they have made a decision.

    "This Rakshasa countrywill be called Russia from now on," Zhao Han said, "Russia is plundering the Songhua River and Heilongjiang, so we can't let it do evil.

    But it is too far away, it is difficult to mobilize the army, send one or twoConsolation envoys must obey the orders of the Governor of Palembang, and the Consolation Division must not have an army.  "

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "Yes."

    Guang Kuanghong continued: "The minister went to Palembang, focusing on Huairou, attracting maritime merchants to develop trade, so that the Han people there can benefit. If there are interests involved, then declare religious freedom. Then understand the righteousness,  Convince the big family to convert to Buddhism. If the big family converts, the small people will gradually follow suit."

    This is of course an aboveboard strategy. If there are big families who are disobedient, then we have to find another way.

    Kuang Hong, if he told the governor of the Netherlands to turn his back on him, he would turn his back on him. Could he still be a good man and a believer?

    After talking about Nanyang, Zhao Han looked at Na Lai and said with a smile: "I heard that among the coalition forces of various countries, you fought the most bravely?"

    Prince Narai stood up quickly, and said in Cantonese with full feet: "Siam has been a vassal of China since ancient times. The emperor of China is the king, and the king of Siam is the subject. The king has a life, and the minister dies. It is a matter of course here."

    Zhao Han was very satisfied with this, and asked: "Can you inherit the throne?"

    Prince Nalai said: "I have an elder brother."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Since you have an elder brother, you cannot be the king of Siam. You stay at Jinling University to study, and if you pass the Jinshi exam, you can become a civil servant.

    ?If you fail the Jinshi examination, you can be a military officer.  Of course, if you want to go back to your country, you can go back at any time.  "

    "I would like to be His Majesty's personal guard!" Prince Nalai knelt down abruptly.

    Zhao Han said: "Wait until you graduate from Jinling University. By then, it's time to expand the Nanjing Forbidden Army."

    (&lt;/div&gt

 Text 713【Ambition of an eunuch】

    The emperor is the emperor, and the first assistant is the first assistant.

    Zhao Han set the tone for the rewards of frontline soldiers, but Pang Chunlai could add on this basis.

    Lao Pang has always been very Buddhist, but he is extremely fussy about matters related to the Tartars.

    Wang Tingchen's cavalry division once severely damaged the elite Tartar cavalry, and now it has completely wiped out the elite Tartar infantry.  Pang Chunlai felt that even if the military regulations were violated,

    Giving only honorary titles is too stingy.

    Therefore, he maximized the power of the first assistant, and asked the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, and the Dudu Mansion to give extra rewards.  All the silver and land were rewarded at the highest level, and the Ministry of Household Affairs was even given to Wang Tingchen to reward Wang Tingchen with a house in Nanjing.  Then he put down his old face again, and acted as a matchmaker for Wang Tingchen's son, and got engaged to the daughter of the right servant of the Ministry of Punishment.

    To put it bluntly, Wang Tingchen's actions made him very happy, and Pang Chunlai made it clear that he wanted to cover this general.

    Naturally, these small actions could not be concealed from the emperor, so Zhao Han laughed at it: "Master Pang has worked hard and made great achievements. Before he left Beijing, he rewarded the military officials heavily, so let him be the master once."

    The celebration was scheduled for April, and Zhao Han's birthday was chosen instead of any auspicious day.

    ?News from the Northeast, good news from Nanyang, the coming of various countries, the birthday of the Longevity, the retreat of the heroesthese are all put together, and there is every reason to make a fuss, so that before the time comes, the city of Nanjing begins to decorate.

    The merchants and houses are decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the money is also paid out by the imperial court. This is the practice of not disturbing the people continued in the Ming Dynasty.

    Suburbs, school grounds.

    Wu Liangfu of Da Yuer and Shunzhi was practicing etiquette with everyone at this time.  He was allowed to participate in the celebration. Although he was only standing on the outermost edge, he already had infinite glory.

    The Datong imperial court did not keep eunuchs, and Wu Liangfu did make great contributions, so he was thrown into the Ministry of Industry as a ninth-rank sesame official.

    "Get up. Goodbye!"

    Officials from the Ministry of Rites yelled at the top of their voices, and Wu Liangfu hurriedly followed suit.

    There were also many foreign envoys and a few gentry merchants who were allowed to participate in the celebration.  No matter what the background is, go to the school field honestly every day,

    Let's practice all kinds of etiquette first.

    "Okay, take a break."

    When everyone was suffering from backaches, the officials of the Ministry of Rites finally showed mercy, and all the "students" slumped on the ground.

    Wu Liangfu ran to the side of the school field and took out a "Dictionary of Great Harmony".  He bought this with reward money, a set of six dictionaries, and Wu Liangfu planned to learn the characters one by one.

    This guy was born in the general family, and his family invited someone to open the door, but unfortunately he didn't have time to study in the Wei School (Military Confucian School).  After becoming Shunzhi's companion, he has been learning Manchu and Mongolian characters, and has never touched Chinese characters again.

    "Sir, how do you pronounce this word?"

    Chai Shaoliang was filling his stomach with water when he suddenly heard someone questioning him.  He turned his head and saw that it was the "Tartar eunuch", and immediately said with a smile:

    "You also want to learn to read?"

    Wu Liangfu hurriedly said: "I want to teach adults to know that the younger one is also a descendant of the former dynasty. When he was young, Kai Meng's family could read a few words. When the Tartars came to kill him,

    The young man's family was ruined, he was arrested and made a slave, and then eunuched and sent to the womb of a Tartar.  The little one doesn't want to be an eunuch either, and now the Holy One has given me the grace to do it for a ninth-rank official. Only by working hard can the young one be a good official and repay His Majesty's great kindness.  "

    Chai Shaoliang was quite surprised by these words. He was the official in charge of the etiquette training, and among all the trainees, the Tartar eunuch was the most despised.

    However, Wu Liangfu's studious attitude changed Chai Shaoliang's impression of him, saying: "If you want to know how to read, you can first learn the method of pinyin, so that you can get twice the result with half the effort. Open the front of the dictionary, and I will teach you a few pinyin letters today."

    "Thank you, my lord!" Wu Liangfu burst into tears of gratitude.

    This old man is a ruthless man, as can be seen from the fact that he killed Dayuer and Shunzhi.  Moreover, he is also an ambitious and hard-working ruthless man. The nine-rank official rewarded by the imperial court gave him hope of prosperity.

    ?First learn to read and write, and then learn various courses by yourself, try to integrate into the civil service group, and complete the work tasks conscientiously.  One day, I will be able to climb up.

    Wu Liangfu's ideal in life is to adopt a son to continue the Wu family's incense.  It's better to marry another wife. It doesn't matter how ugly she is, the main thing is to be virtuous and housekeeping, which can make him look like a normal man.  He wants to be the "Zheng He" of the new dynasty of Datong, lead the fleet to sail all over the world, and leave his name in history for a lifetime.

    In fact, as early as a few days ago, he had never heard of the name "Zheng He".

    However, there are too many foreign envoys studying etiquette together, chatting about Nanyang affairs all day long, and from time to time they have to mention the Sanbao eunuch.  They are also eunuchs,People, many choose to change careers, directly changing from warriors to farmers.

    There are also some who go to sea as mercenaries, the more famous one is Yamada Nagamasa.  There are more than a thousand ronin warriors under this guy, all of whom use firearms. They once helped Siam resist the Burmese army, successfully defended the capital of Siam, and were appointed by the king as the prefect of Ayutthaya—equivalent to Jing Zhaoyin in Thailand.

    Yamada Nagamasa once controlled Siam's foreign trade, and then died for no apparent reason.  After his death, the King of Siam, the father of Prince Narai,

    Immediately deport all Japanese.  These Japanese wandered to Luzon and became Spanish mercenaries. They fought a battle with the Datong Army a few years ago.

    In this Edo ronin rebellion, the shogunate began to expel ronin in large numbers.

    ?The county magistrates of Ryukyu and Fangzhang counties reported that two or three thousand vagrants came to seek refuge on simple small mountain boards one after another. May the court agree to accept these guys.

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully, and replied: "Ryukyu and Fangzhang counties are each allowed to accept 500 vagrants, and they will be allocated land to settle down. When they settle down, they must be changed to Chinese names. After three years, if they can't speak Chinese  Deportation. The rest of the ronin will be resettled in Taiwan, Luzon, Malacca and other places, and they will all have their Chinese names changed, and they will be deported if they cannot speak Chinese within the time limit!"

    These are all warriors, able to fight and educated. After they are Sinicized, they can be directly recruited for combat at critical moments.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 714 [Grand Ceremony]

    (); Both Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Zhenqing returned to Beijing by boat urgently, and led the army to offer prisoners on behalf of the frontline generals.

    Followed back, there are five thousand soldiers.

    The remnants of the Tartars fled to Ningguta, so there is no need for so many troops in the Northeast.  As a result, the establishment of Yang Zhenqing's independent regiment was cancelled, some were broken up and incorporated into brother troops, and some returned to Nanjing to serve as the imperial army.  Other troops in the Northeast were also transferred, and they were all those who made meritorious service in the battle last year.

    In this way, the number of regular troops in the entire Nanjing city (including the Forbidden City) finally reached 10,000.

    Lu Xiangsheng rode a tall horse, with a guard of honor and a band in front of him.  Behind him was Yang Zhenqing who was also riding a horse, and then the soldiers who had returned from the northeast, and a long list of captives.  There were Tartar prisoners of war and Dutch prisoners of war. The Dutch who surrendered in Malacca, except for the few civil servants, were all escorted back to Nanjing.

    Band player "Steel Torrent March", Datong soldiers strode forward.  Yang Zhenqing turned his head to look at the captives behind him, with a smug smile on his face, it didn't matter if he was dismissed from the military or feudal state, the most important thing was to destroy the Man Qing.

    It's a pity that there are still some remnants of Tartars who hide in Ninggu Pagoda and dare not come out, which makes Yang Zhenqing feel quite regretful.

    "Ping Da," Lu Xiangsheng said, pulling the rein, "I heard that Pang Ge was going to be your matchmaker, but you directly rejected him, and you didn't give him any face."

    Yang Zhenqing smiled and said: "I am a hunter in the mountains. Even after joining the army, I can read a thousand words. The in-laws that Pang Ge told me about are from a scholarly family. How can I afford it? Me, just marry me.  As a peasant girl, it is enough to inherit the incense to the ancestors."

    Lu Xiangsheng sighed: "Oh, that's fine, don't get too contaminated."

    As soon as Lu Xiangsheng returned to Nanjing, he felt that the court was a little strange.  He probably won't be able to return to the front line, and he is very likely to take over as Minister of the Ministry of War as a tool for the emperor to balance the factions of civilian officials.

    In the past few days, civil servants from Jiangxi have been visiting one after another, mentioning Song Yingxing overtly and secretly.

    Lu Xiangsheng knew what it meant, it was nothing more than that after Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua left, Song Yingxing would be promoted to the chief assistant of the cabinet.  Those officials from Jiangxi wanted to bring Lu Xiangsheng in, implying that he would pay a visit to Song Yingxing's house.

    In this regard, Lu Xiangsheng pretended not to understand, he did not want to make the emperor bad luck.

    Today it is not as simple as "half Jiangxi in the court". Although Zhao Han deliberately suppressed it, there are more and more Jiangxi officials in the court, and 70% of the Beijing officials above the fourth rank are from Jiangxi.  It's simply unstoppable. The qualifications and achievements of Jiangxi officials are there. Even if the nepotism is ignored, normal promotion will also cause this situation.

    "Victory, victorious!"

    The team arrived at the bank of Xuanwu Lake, and the people along the way, old and young, shouted and cheered at them.

    These soldiers who came back from the Northeast were all beaming, with their heads held high and their spirits uplifted.

    The Tartar captives turned pale with fright. They were all captives convicted of felony crimes. Their hands were covered with blood. Even if they were not beheaded, they would still be thrown into the mountains for mining.

    Dutch captives are better off. The company has not been in Malacca for a long time, and it has not had time to turn against the Han people.  It is a normal act of war to kill Datong soldiers in battle, and the Chinese emperor does not intend to kill them.  Even, they can immigrate to the north and settle down to divide the land, but the land allocated is half of that of the Han people.

    Zhao Han has already issued an order to overseas officials. Once the Dutch captives are caught, the heinous ones will be beheaded directly, and all the rest will be moved to northern China to enrich the population.  The Netherlands has only a few people, and the population of its overseas colonies is even smaller. It is estimated that it will not be able to recruit soldiers after a few more attempts.

    However, the bottom-level soldiers in the Netherlands will be assimilated in a few years when they serve the people in northern China.  It's just that these guys have red hair and green eyes, and there are more men than women in the north.  Whether they can marry a wife and start a family is no one to care about. It is estimated that many of them will spend their entire lives as bachelors, and their only role is to farm land and pay for the government.

    After passing Xuanwu Lake, the team finally entered the city, circled around the Forbidden City, and was guided to enter through the main gate.

    There are too many triumphant soldiers, and it is certain that they cannot all go in. Only 300 were selected as representatives.  They escorted the captives and walked a distance,

    So I was arranged to wait there first.

    Before the Meridian Gate, all civil and military officials were in place, and foreign envoys also arrived one after another.

    In addition to envoys from the Southeast Asian countries, North Korea, Taungoo (Myanmar) and other countries also sent envoys.  It was not a coincidence, but an official tribute trade by celebrating the birthday of Emperor Datong.

    The king of North Korea is the most filial, and he sends envoys every year. They arrive in March every year, and wait for April to congratulate the emperor on his birthday.

    "The emperor ascended the tower!"

    "Play music!"

    In Weinbsp; On the third day after the ceremony, Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua officially retired, and Song Yingxing took over as chief assistant.

    Fang Shengchang, Secretary of the Ministry of War, Fei Chun, Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, Liu Ziren, Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Yuan Yunlong (Fei Ruhe's brother-in-law), Minister of the Ministry of Industry, all four Jiangxi people joined the cabinet as prime ministers.

    Lu Xiangsheng, a native of Jiangsu, took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

    Wu Yingji, a native of Anhui, took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance.

    Zhang Bingwen, a native of Anhui, took over as Minister of the Ministry of officials.

    Li Rixuan (Li Banghua's nephew) from Jiangxi took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

    Zhao Hanming wanted to weaken the influence of Jiangxi officials, and handed over all military affairs, finance, and personnel to non-Jiangxi officials.

    Even so, it can only be relieved a little, after all, there are too many Jiangxi natives in the court.  Moreover, after this adjustment, the cabinet is full of people from Jiangxi.

    Zhao Han has no choice but to form a Jiangxi cabinet.

    They are all heroes, and they didn't make a big mistake, so can they be suppressed by force?  If you really want to change the situation in the court, you have to raise the butcher's knife against the heroes, and you have to make a few big cases.

    Zhao Han finally understood Zhu Yuanzhang's mood, and also knew why Comrade Zhu killed the heroes.

    Zhao Han's heroes were more disciplined, but they still made him very uncomfortable.  And Zhu Yuanzhang's heroes were so domineering one by one that they had to kill several groups.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 715 [Pang Taishi discusses politics]

    ,

    Nanjing, the pier.

    The Son of Heaven cleared the way with a guard of honor, and Pang Chunlai left the city on his imperial chariot.

    Xu Ying, the commander of the black guards, personally escorted them on horseback.  The emperor's personal guards and the black guards, each accompanied by 30 people, and many Nanjing Imperial Guards, specially helped Pang Chunlai transport his property.

    Pang Chunlai's family property is not much, but before leaving Beijing, the emperor rewarded more than 40 vehicles.

    When he arrived at the pier, Pang Chunlai was helped out of the imperial court, and bowed his hands to the minister who was here to send him off: "Everyone, wait a moment. Thank you for your kindness. Let's meet again by fate. Bring the wine!"

    The emperor's personal guards held fine wine and brought many wine bowls.

    After pouring wine, Pang Chunlai raised his bowl and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty, to the Great Harmony, to all the people of the world, and to your bright future.

    Dry old!  "

    "Respectfully send off the Grand Master!"

    Everyone shouted with their bowls in their hands, and drank it all in one gulp.

    Pang Chunlai was originally conferred the title of Duke, but this time he left the court, he was also conferred the title of Taishi and Prince Taishi, and rewarded his hometown in Liaodong with 200 mu of land.  In addition, the imperial court also allocated additional funds to build the Duke's Mansion in his hometown.

    Even the middle-aged widow in charge of taking care of Pang Chunlai's daily life, because they are husband and wife in name, was given a first-rank imperial order.  His adopted son, who was formally named the Prince of Liao, will continue to stay in the Imperial City School to study with the prince, and he will not be eliminated because of his poor performance in the exam.

    In addition, one hundred Liaodong Datong troops were dispatched to the government to protect their safety, and it was not canceled until Pang Chunlai passed away.

    Dozens of carts of property bestowed by the emperor were carried onto the ship one after another, and Pang Chunlai was supported by Xu Ying to leave.

    "Teacher of the true emperor, this life is not in vain!"

    Wu Weiye, who was watching from a distance, couldn't help sighing, his eyes were full of envy.

    Everyone knows that today's world is mean and ungrateful, but Pang Chunlai's curtain call is so grand.  The emperor was afraid that the teacher's life would be bad, so he gave the money out of his own pocket, and the dozens of carts of treasure did not go to the treasury.

    "Yes, this life is not in vain."

    Mao Pijiang's tone was full of disappointment, he had already regretted it to death.  When the Datong Army seized Jiangnan, he finally did not seek refuge in Daming.  After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, he let go of his talent, disdained to be a petty official and did not become an official.  Friends who are as reserved as him have become small officials one after another, and the one who has been promoted the fastest is already the magistrate, but he has been putting on airs and not moving.

    Even Jin Shengtan, who is out of his mind, is now a county registrar!

    When Mao Pijiang couldn't stand it anymore, he was willing to start as a small official, and the imperial court adjusted the qualifications of the public examination, so he couldn't even put down his airs to be a small official.

    Today, Mao Pijiang is famous all over the world, but he claims to be a frustrated person, writing poor articles and complaining all day long.

    The fleet gradually left the Nanjing pier. In the cabin, Xu Ying personally made tea for the teacher.

    Pang Chunlai said with emotion: "The emperor asked you to escort me back to Liaodong, and also resigned from your duties. You must complain in your heart."

    Xu Ying said with a smile: "Why did you say that, sir? It's too late for the disciple to escort his mentor back to his hometown."

    Pang Chunlai shook his head and said, "I have no children, and I am a child. I have nothing to worry about. You are the most worried about me. You are in charge of the black guards. If you are placed in Ming Dynasty, you will be the head of the Jinyi guards. There are several good endings for this position. The emperor asked  You sent me back to my hometown and took the opportunity to go to your position, just to make me feel at ease."

    "It turns out there is such a meaning." Xu Ying really didn't expect it.

    Pang Chunlai continued: "I have sent someone to inquire about Fang Shengchang's condition. It is said that he has had a bad pain in his back for several years. Before and after, more than 20 doctors have been changed.  The consultation was over. During the period, a famous surgeon cut off his pain.

    But after recovering for a year, he gave birth to several carbuncles, and now the disease has penetrated into the internal organs, so he must not live for a few days.  "

    In modern medical terminology, it means that there is a tumor on the back, and it has become a malignant tumor.  After the tumor was removed, it recurred again,

    The cancer cells have spread to the internal organs.

    Xu Ying said: "It's a pity for this person. Back then, His Majesty raised troops in Luling, and his two brothers raised troops in Longquan. They can be regarded as heroes in the late Ming Dynasty. It is even more rare that they are not greedy for power. They will dedicate all the land they have conquered.  To His Majesty, he also gave up his military power and became a civil servant. It is really a pity that he is now suffering from such a serious disease after finally becoming a minister in the cabinet."

    Pang Chunlai said: "If Fang Shengchang dies, as compensation, his brother Fang Shenghong will definitely be transferred back to the center to be an official, at least he is also a left servant. Once there is an official vacancy, Fang Shenghong will become a minister."

    "This is what should be done," Xu Ying nodded and said, "Fang Shenghong has a lot of experience, if he doesn't avoid suspicion, the two brothers can't be in the ten department together, he's afraid?There is too much surveillance of Beijing officials.  Of course, he also understands the general situation, and when he thinks about it for a while, he feels that his head is extremely big.

    Jiangxi officials are mainly divided into three factions:

    One faction, headed by Fei Chun, Xiao Huan, Ouyang Zheng, and Yuan Yunlong, is the most powerful.  It is mainly because of Zhao Han's forces at the beginning of his army, with the support of the military behind him, and Fei Ruhe, Li Zheng and others can barely be counted as this faction.  It can be called the old school.

    The first faction is headed by Li Rixuan (Li Banghua's nephew), and the main body is scholars from Ji'an Prefecture, as well as scholars from other places in Jiangxi.

    The first faction is headed by Song Yingxing, and the main body is scholars from Nanchang, Jiujiang and surrounding counties.

    Song Yingxing's faction is the weakest, so Song Yingxing entered the cabinet early, and now he can still serve as the chief assistant.

    Pang Chunlai said: "Li Rixuan's talent is outstanding, and he is not inferior to his uncle, but he does not have his uncle's calmness, nor his uncle's firm character. He dare not lick the beard of the elders, and he is dissatisfied with Song Yingxing's growing power.  He wants to attack Song Yingxing's henchmen in secret. As the leader of the elder faction, Fei Chun, I'm afraid he can't wait to watch the fire from the other side. Song Yingxing, the chief assistant, is hard to do!"

    Although Pang Chunlai usually doesn't care about things, everything is up to Li Banghua, but he has a clear understanding of the situation in the court.

 Text 716 [The strategy of the proud enemy]

    Li Banghua's ostentation when he left Beijing was slightly weaker than that of Pang Chunlai, but he also arrived at the pier on the imperial chariot of the emperor.

    Moreover, Li Banghua became the Duke, and was directly promoted from the original Marquis of Jishui to the Duke of Gan at the same level as Pang Chunlai.  But, only the title of grand master, not concurrent prince and grand master.

    The emperor's gift to Li Banghua was only ten carts, unlike Pang Chunlai's forty carts.

    "Uncle Hui, after I leave, you must be cautious about being an official." Li Banghua warned earnestly.

    Li Rixuan said: "Nephew, please remember."

    Li Banghua was worried: "It's good that you can remember it, but I'm afraid!"

    Li Rixuan was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli, and he was only in his early twenties at that time.  First he was a member of Zhongshushe, and then he was a supervisory censor, becoming a pawn of the Donglin Party.

    This guy often recommends officials, and they are all officials who were expelled from the court by the eunuch party.  Wei Zhongxian was very upset about this, and threw it to the local government for salt administration, out of sight and out of mind.  After returning to Beijing, he and his uncle Li Banghua were both officials in the Ministry of War. In order to avoid suspicion, he resigned and returned to his hometown.

    Chongzhen succeeded to the throne and reinstated his uncle and nephew as officials. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Rixuan chose to stay in his hometown in Jiangxi.

    Historically, this person served as Minister of the Ministry of War and Minister of the Ministry of Officials of the Ming Dynasty.  Because of his involvement in political struggle, he was dispatched to Chongqing by Chongzhen. He died of illness shortly after the amnesty.

    In this time and space, in the third year that Li Banghua joined Zhao Han, Li Rixuan also came to join him.  First served as the general military mansion experience, and then sent out to be the county magistrate,

    ? Then he served as magistrate and magistrate in Hunan, and then as a transfer envoy of Hunan. Before being transferred back to the capital, he was the Zuo Buzheng envoy of Zhejiang.

    Born as a censor, he is more impulsive when things happen. To put it mildly, he is daring to act. His political achievements in Zhejiang are indeed excellent.

    Li Banghua said: "I know that you and Song Changgeng (Song Yingxing) are not on good terms, and your respective subordinates also have rifts due to promotion. But remember, forbearance is the country!"

    Li Rixuan explained: "Uncle knows his nephew's character, and he will not fight with others because of personal grievances. But Song Changgeng's party member Yu Shiqin, when he was a doctor in the official department, often suppressed our officials in Ji'an, Fuzhou, and Ganzhou.  priority

    ?Promoted officials from Nanchang, Linjiang, Nankang, Jiujiang and Raozhou prefectures.  I ran to find Song Changgeng to make a theory, but Song Changgeng was always perfunctory, it was really deceiving!  "

    "Song Changgeng is not the kind of person who favors others," Li Banghua said, "Even if Yu Shiqin does things, there are no bad rules. You two can fight in the future, but don't break the rules."

    The conflict between the two factions arose because of the selection of officials.

    At that time, Yu Shiqin, an official from Nanchang, served as the doctor of the official selection department, and had the right to finalize the promotion of officials below the fourth rank.  The qualifications and achievements of Jiangxi officials,

    ?There are too many people who are eligible for promotion. When all the conditions are similar, Yu Shiqin gives priority to promoting Nanchang, followed by Jiujiang, Nankang,

    Raozhou and other native places.

    This approach made many Jiangxi officials furious.  But Yu Shiqin was an upright official and did not violate the rules, so Li Rixuan couldn't find an excuse to fight back.

    It is precisely because of Yu Shiqin's willful behavior that Jiangxi officials other than the elder faction gradually divided into factions again.  The Chengyi faction in Linjiang Mansion and the north, and the Chengyi faction in the Ji'an Mansion and the south, the two sides fought over the selection of officials.

    ?It's okay to have Pang Chunlai and Li Banghua under the pressure. Once the two elders leave, the fight will definitely be more fierce in the future.

    Li Banghua knew his nephew's character well, and when he was worried, he put down his old face and went to visit Song Yingxing, intending to give in to each other.

    "The grand master's visit made the humble house flourish!" Song Yingxing greeted him warmly.

    Li Banghua said straight to the point: "Brother Changgeng, brother Yu will return to Jiangxi in two days. There are some things that I can't let go of, so I'm here to discuss with my brother."

    Song Yingxing said: "Teacher please tell me."

    Li Banghua said: "The juniors don't know anything. They are all officials appointed by the imperial court, and they are all from the same village in Jiangxi. What is there to argue about? In my opinion, it is better to bear with each other for the country and create a peaceful and prosperous world for Your Majesty together. Yu Shilang (Yu Shiqin)  )There…"

    Song Yingxing smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Meng An, do you really think that Yu Shiqin is following my orders? I'm from Nanchang like him, but he has his own opinions and knows what he's doing. Back then, a bunch of people who were recruiting scholars  , take the initiative to go south to take effect

    ? 716 Tactics of the Prideful Enemy (Page 2/5), click on the next page to continue reading.

    Your Majesty, it was Yu Shiqin who took the lead.

    It was Yu Shiqin who took the lead in catching General Yang Jiamo on the way.  "

    Li Banghua's thoughts changed suddenly, and he suddenly realized: "It turns out that Yu Shiqin is your Majesty's son."? Still can’t save him.  "

    This is not a fake sigh, but a real sigh.

    Fang Shengchang's governance ability is average, but he is rarely honest and obedient, and never forms a clique.  Moreover, this person rebelled on his own and took refuge with his territory.

    The qualifications and prestige are deep enough, and he is used as a lubricant when he is pulled into the cabinet.

    As a result, the lubricant died.

    Zhao Han immediately issued an order to draw up an edict: "Decree the Ministry of Rites, bury Fang Shengchang generously, and draw up a posthumous title for him. In addition, posthumously confer the posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous titles.

    ?The reason why Fang Shengchang was granted the title of Marquis of Longquan was because Fang Shengchang raised troops in Longquan County, and actually made important military exploits in the early days——before that, he was Uncle Longquan.

    Zhao Han continued: "Chen Maosheng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, is a scholar of the Dongge University, and ordered him to enter the cabinet as a prime minister. The left servant of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Tiaoding, was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Rites."

    This is different from what Pang Chunlai expected. Zhu Shunshui did not enter the cabinet, but continued to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Commerce.

    On the contrary, Chen Maosheng, who was very young, actually joined the cabinet early.

    Pang Chunlai always believed that Chen Maosheng would become a few more ministers before joining the cabinet as the emperor's lonely minister.

    What a lonely minister.

    Chen Maosheng has been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for so many years, he has never formed a clique, and he does things completely according to the rules.  He will use those who are capable, and he will throw away those who are not capable, regardless of which faction you belong to.  When it comes to the promotion and transfer of officials from the Ministry of Rites, his words are more effective than the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials has to ask for his opinion in turn.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 717 [The Earl of Raising Pigs and the Prosperity of Culture]

    Chen Xisong showed his waist card, and the guards of the imperial city let him go immediately, and took him in to drink tea and wait.

    The female officer quickly went to report, and within half an hour, Chen Xisong was allowed to meet the emperor.

    There are currently less than ten officials with this kind of treatment.  Among these people, Chen Xisong is the only fifth-rank official, and he can go to the Forbidden City to face the saint at any time.

    "Your Majesty, Mr. Chen is here."

    "Let him in."

    Chen Xisong quickly entered the side hall, and said with a happy face: "I pay homage to Your Majesty!"

    "Sit down." Zhao Han smiled.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty."

    Chen Xisong has long been familiar with the road, and sat down on the bench, as if he came to drink tea with an old friend.

    Zhao Han asked curiously, "What else is there to receive?"

    Chen Xisong couldn't wait: "Your Majesty, it's a pigah, no, it's to persuade the Secretary of Agriculture to breed good pigs."

    ?The original Institute for Encouraging Agriculture has been upgraded to the Division for Encouraging Agriculture, with three institutes under the jurisdiction of Animal Husbandry, Fruit and Vegetable, and Grain.  Specially responsible for cultivating fine varieties and guiding local officials to promote high-quality crops and livestock.

    Zhao Han asked: "What's a good way?"

    Chen Xisong: "This new pig is large in size, matures early, grows fast, is docile and easy to fatten."

    "That's really a good pig, how did you breed it?" Zhao Han asked enthusiastically.

    Every time Chen Xisong enters the palace, Zhao Han looks very happy.  The female officials and maids in the court also like to see Chen Xisong, the emperor must have a lot of good words today.

    Chen Xisong introduced: "After I came to Nanjing, I was still in the Quannong Institute, and I was already breeding pig breeds. Jianghuai pigs have big ears, Hebei pigs have thick skin, Shandong pigs have short feet, Liaodong pigs have white heads, and Henan pigs have a mild taste  The pigs in the south of the Yangtze River are small, and the pigs in Guangdong are fat and white There are different breeds of pigs in different places. Therefore, the ministers and others crossed them separately, and selected their good offspring before breeding."

    Chen Xisong spoke faster and faster, eloquently saying: "The best pig breed bred is to cross Taihu Lake's big painted face with Jintan's rice pig." The big painted face is big, with thick bones and skin.  Thick, fat and thin, the disadvantage is that it grows slowly, and it is also called "sand pig" or "thick-skinned pig" in the folk The offspring of the big painted face and the rice pig have maintained the advantages of the big painted face, become fatter, and have more babies.  Yes. After three or four generations of crossbreeding, the characteristics tend to be stable, and Chen et al. call it 'Misha pig'."

    Suddenly, Chen Xisong stood up excitedly, pacing back and forth: "Misha pig is already very good, but there are even better ones! Crossbreeding Misha pig with Guangdong gray pig, the effect will be seen in the first litter. This new breed  Pigs grow fast and are still big. Sows can be bred after half a year. The first litter will give birth to at least ten piglets, and the second litter will produce more piglets. The litter is at most one sow, and it will be born in one litter  Eighteen piglets! And the characteristics are also very stable, compared with the big painted face, the pig skin has become thinner, and the fat has grown a lot!"

    A lot of fat was not a disadvantage in ancient times, but a very pleasing advantage.

    Chen Xisong took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and the female officer forwarded it to Zhao Han: "Your Majesty, please give the new pig a name!"

    Zhao Han finally read the paper, but saw that the pig name column was blank, and the rest were written about the characteristics of pigs: large body, thin skin, fat meat, short feet, small ears,

    Black and white, pure white, pure black.  It matures quickly, has many litters, and is easy to fatten. It is actually the top grade of pigs.

    Zhao Han commented with a smile: "Wufu Minfeng, Guotai Minan, let's call it 'Cathay Pig'. It can be promoted in Jinling Mansion first, so that the large pig farmers around Nanjing can buy a few piglets and go back to try it out. Pig raising  The big households have tasted the sweetness, and they will take the initiative to breed next year. Ordinary farmers will be jealous when they see it, and this Cathay pig will be popularized.”

    "Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Xisong flattered immediately.

    Zhao Han thought for a while: "You have worked really hard these years. If the land of Datong is able to have a bumper harvest of grains and six animals, you will also have a great contribution to it. I can't treat you lightly, so I will call you the uncle of the farmer. The secretary of the farmer's house  Those who have meritorious deeds, if you make a list, they will be rewarded as appropriate."

    I was also rewarding before, but this time I was so generous that I even made an earl directly.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward!"

    Chen Xisong was overjoyed that raising pigs and farming actually made him an earl.

    The reason why Zhao Han is so generous is that pigs are too important. The second senior brother has long been the main source of meat for the Chinese people.

    The barrow did not start in the Song Dynasty, it existed as early as the pre-Qin period, but it was promoted on a large scale in the Song and Ming dynasties.

    "Book of Changes" has a cloud: "The tooth of the pig is auspicious".

    In human terms, even a castrated pig will become docile, even though it has sharp teeth, it will not cause any harm.

    "Book of Rites" has a cloud: the pig is just like the mouse, and the dolphin is like a shield.

    There is no cutting pig??Children.  Those who are over ten years old don't need to worry about it. Those under ten years old must study. Whoever doesn't let their children study will have the county magistrate severely punish their parents.

    Today, inside and outside Nanjing, the enrollment rate of school-age children under the age of ten is not 100%, 70% is certain.

    However, the quality of education is getting worse and worse because there are too many students.

    In the city of Nanjing, the number of schools is constantly increasing, and the classrooms are packed to the brim.  There are dozens of people in a class, and the teacher can't take care of them at all. Many schools in the low-level neighborhoods are purely sheep-herding, and the teachers don't bother to care about sleeping in class.

    However, no matter how foolish you are, after three years of reading, it is still possible to write letters in vernacular, and reading vernacular is not a problem at all.

    The direct result of such education is that popular books in Nanjing are selling well.

    Most of the children who finished their studies went to become apprentices or find other jobs.  It's hard to earn some wages, and you haven't got a family yet, and you don't have any other entertainment, so let's read the newspapers.

    There are book rental shops in Nanjing, and you can rent them back if you pay a deposit.

    It is even possible to rent newspapers for a very low rent.  They are all market tabloids, full of vernacular articles, and even serialized popular ones.

    ?In the entire Jinling Mansion, tabloids in the market have developed rapidly, and more than 40 newspapers have been opened one after another, including those that have closed down.  And there are celebrity gossip news, such and such a brothel has selected the oiran, and which famous actor has appeared in Goulan or a theater, etc. Young people who don't read much but can read like to watch this kind of news.

 Body 718【Milton’s visit to China】

    ,

    An inland ship, carrying a British mission to China, came.

    The British envoy is relatively shabby, with only a dozen people in total.  And it didn't come by warship, because the British mainland was planning a sea battle with the Netherlands, and there was no warship to escort the envoys.

    They traveled on a merchant ship of the British East India Company, resupplying at Portuguese colonial ports along the way.  After arriving in India, they heard that Malacca had been captured by China. The British cheered and immediately went to Malacca for exchanges.

    Then, the British merchant ship docked in Banten to do business, and the British mission was escorted northward by the Datong Navy.

    The representative of the British Mission is called John Milton, whose works include: "Paradise Lost", "On Freedom of the Press", "On Education", "On the Powers of Kings and Officials" and so on.

    Milton was Cromwell's master and actively promoted revolution and democracy.

    After Cromwell came to power, Milton served as his Foreign Affairs Secretary.  Milton was in charge of all the British diplomatic correspondence, and by the way he was writing with the aristocrats who opposed Cromwell.

    Britain's mission to China this time was somewhat personal, and Cromwell directly threw over his foreign secretary.

    "Mr. John, the Chinese came and said that Nanjing is coming soon, let us prepare." Deputy envoy Andrew Marvell knocked on the door and entered.

    Andrew Marvell, a famous poet of the British metaphysics school, was a tutor in Cromwell's boyhood, and currently serves as Milton's Latin secretary.

    Milton put down his quill, hung up his glasses and said, "Then get ready to disembark."

    Marvell said with a smile: "The mission of this mission is to persuade China to go to war with the Netherlands, weaken the strength of the Netherlands in Asia, and order the Dutch headquarters to send more warships to support Asia. This mission is over before it starts. China and the Netherlands have already  After two games, the strength of the Netherlands in the Far East has been weakened to the extreme. The two of us only need to meet the Chinese emperor, and we can concentrate on enjoying exotic customs.”

    Milton shook his head: "Our navy is still too weak. It is best to provoke another war between China and the Netherlands."

    "I'm afraid this is unrealistic," Marvell said, "China and the Netherlands have just signed a ten-year truce, and neither side will take the risk of tearing up the contract."

    "Try it." Milton is a workaholic. If he is not sent to China, he will be blinded by working day and night next year.

    ?The Yangtze River Navy sent the British mission to the pier, and someone went to the city to report to Honglu Temple, and the officials of Honglu Temple would take the foreign envoys into the city.

    Before the officials from Honglu Temple came, Milton and others were waiting at the pier.

    More than a dozen dock cranes are working, and workers pull pulleys and drag heavy objects onto the ship.  There are more dock coolies behind, carrying boxes of goods, and there is a busy scene everywhere.

    "Everyone, please wait in front, don't block at the pier." Said the translator of the Navy.

    Everyone then continued to move forward, and there were many people carrying sliding poles here.  In fact, it is a "taxi", and the "drivers" are gathering together to wait for business.

    Where is bragging and laughing from time to time.

    There is a sliding pole to carry passengers from the city to the pier.

    The guests get off the sedan chair to pay, and go straight to the riverside to wait for the boat.  The two lifters also got together with other "drivers".  Due to the relatively crowded surroundings, they can only wait there to pick up customers, and they will be fined for staying outside the border to entertain guests.

    "Here comes the little scholar, read the newspaper to us!"

    One of the two people who lifted the slider just now was a teenager in his teens, and he immediately became the center of attention.

    The boy took out a newspaper from his pocket and rented it for a penny a day.  After carefully unfolding, the boy began to shake his head and read the newspaper: "The big news in this issue is that Young Master Yang Er, the head of the young troupe of the Chunlan Club, insisted on marrying Xiao Hongtao, a famous actor in the Kun troupe of his own drama club. Even taking concubines, it is very  To be married as a regular wife. Master Yang was not happy about it, so Second Young Master Yang eloped with Xiao Hongtao. The two had eloped for almost a month before the news came out, and no one has been found yet."

    This young man obviously belongs to the cattle herding class. He is the kind who doesn't study hard, and even reads newspapers and has to guess.  Otherwise, graduates from elementary school would not be able to earn a living carrying a sliding pole.

    When the "taxi drivers" heard the news, they immediately talked about it:

    "Master Yang is also a respectable figure, and his son elopes with the opera singer, this time he will be ashamed."

    "Hey, then Young Master Yang is still a lover."

    "I've heard of Little Hongtao's play. Last year Li Yuanwai had his birthday, so he invited Little Hongtao to sing. Liu Er and I took Mr. Zhang to Li's Mansion, and I listened to it for a while.sp; "We seem to be in an ocean of literature and art, with books and paintings everywhere. For European scholars, this street is heaven,

    They must have never dreamed"

    "I asked a Chinese official, and he said that the best-selling book in China, in addition to the ancient Four Books and Five Classics, is the "Datong Ji" compiled by the Chinese emperor today. I asked a Chinese friend to translate a few articles for me to read, so I can be sure  , the Emperor of China was a democratic revolutionary"

    "The Chinese emperor's legitimacy does not come from the church, but from the 'sky'. The sky is not only the sky above our heads, but also the origin of all things. The Chinese regard it as the master of everything. Heaven and earth, derived from human beings and all things, human beings are  The elves in the world form the country of China. The country needs a leader, so there is an emperor. The emperor who is kind to the people will be recognized by the sky and become the son of heaven. The emperor who is cruel to the people will be disgusted by the sky.  He will be overthrown"

    "Everything is people-centered. Isn't that what democracy is?"

    Milton has been pursuing natural human rights, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, freedom of education, and freedom of marriage all his life.  Totally obsessed with this stuff

    "Datong Collection" and believed that the Chinese emperor was a revolutionary.

    It's just that when he finishes reading "The Collection of Datong", he probably won't be so happy.

    Zhao Han's theory of dividing land conflicts with Milton's democracy.  Because it was the landowner's field, and Milton believed that personal property was sacrosanct.

    Of course, Milton can also ignore it. He has decided to translate "The Collection of Datong", and then delete the theory of dividing the land.

 Text 719 [What is the concept of a big country]

    ,

    Milton's reputation in later generations is too great, and it is difficult for Zhao Han not to know.

    The pioneer of the democratic revolution in Europe, one of the six greatest British poets, and the patriarch who advocated freedom of speech and the press.

    "See Your Majesty the Emperor!"

    "Give me a seat."

    As soon as Milton sat down, he stood up again: "On behalf of the Republic of England and the respected Commander-in-Chief Mr. Cromwell, I would like to extend my highest greetings to His Majesty the Emperor of China. May the friendship between the two countries last forever!"

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Send hello to Mr. Cromwell on my behalf."

    What Milton said just now was not nonsense.

    After the King of England was cut off, the country was ruled by Parliament. In fact, Britain is indeed a republic.

    Milton could not have predicted that it was Cromwell, whom he had always admired and upheld, who destroyed the Republic and completely betrayed the revolution.  He devoted himself to Cromwell, but in two years, Cromwell will disperse Parliament and rule as a dictatorship as "Lord Protector".

    Milton: "Your Majesty the Emperor, there are stories of His Majesty's great restoration of the country in the UK and throughout Europe. The Commander-in-Chief of our country, Mr. Cromwell, has always admired His Majesty's reputation, so let me lead a delegation to visit China."

    Zhao Han asked with great interest: "What stories are I spreading in Europe?"

    Milton: "Your Majesty is a former royal family who lost their country. The emperor of China was so brutal that the rebels captured the capital and the emperor was killed by the rebels. However, your majesty raised troops as a former royal family and defeated the hateful  The rebels, finally restored the glory of the ancestors."

    "It's pretty good at making it up," Zhao Han couldn't help laughing, and said to Tong Shi, "There is no need to translate this sentence, just follow him as you like."

    The general officer of Honglu Temple nonsense said: "Your Majesty, the news from Europe is very well-informed."

    Milton flattered a few words, and said: "I was in India and heard the news that the Chinese army defeated the Netherlands. This is really exciting. Britain and China have the same enemy, and that is the damn Netherlands.  Heartfelt congratulations, Your Majesty, and His valiant army."

    Zhao Han asked: "Britain is also at war with the Netherlands?"

    Milton replied: "There must be a war. The Netherlands is too greedy. They have merchant ships all over every sea area in Europe. They want to monopolize all the benefits. They even control the business in the UK and use the threat of loan collection to force the British  Give up what should belong to your own rights."

    "It shouldn't be," Zhao Han went on, "the Netherlands is doing the same thing in Asia, even occupying China's territory, massacring and oppressing the Chinese living in Taiwan. That's why I sent troops to drive the Dutch out of Taiwan. The Netherlands is the most  Despicable country!"

    Milton said happily: "Our country can go to war with the Netherlands in Europe, and China can go to war with the Netherlands in Asia. The little Netherlands will definitely not be able to fight on both sides. At that time, Your Majesty will be able to drive the Netherlands out of Asia!"

    Zhao Han said: "Unfortunately, China and the Netherlands have signed a ten-year contract. As the emperor of China, I cannot break my promise. It is despicable to tear up the contract."

    "Teach those despicable Dutchmen a lesson, and you won't look despicable by any means." Milton continued to fight.

    Zhao Han said ambiguously: "That's true, but China's previous battles have caused heavy naval losses. Britain can fight in Europe first, and China will respond."

    This is nonsense. With the existing communication technology, it is estimated that the first Anglo-Dutch war is over, and China has not received the news yet.

    At this moment, Cromwell has just promulgated the "Navigation Regulations", the general content: Non-British ships are not allowed to carry goods into the United Kingdom and its colonies. Once discovered, the ship and the goods will be confiscated directly.

    This regulation is obviously to fight against the Netherlands, because the British import trade is about to be monopolized by Dutch businessmen.

    Two years ago, the United Kingdom signed a treaty with Denmark, and British cargo ships can pass through the Sond Strait duty-free.  This is the United Kingdom and Denmark teaming up to weaken the influence of the Netherlands in the Baltic Sea, because the three Nordic countries have also been pitted by the Netherlands. The Netherlands not only monopolizes the Nordic sea trade, but also expands its business power to the Nordic land, using its monopoly position to frantically suppress prices and squeeze profits.

    The reason why Cromwell dared to promulgate the "Navigation Regulations" was because Britain and the Netherlands had just concluded an arms deal.

    The capital ships currently in service in the Netherlands, and the best of them, have all been sold to the British Navy, and if they don’t have enough money, they still have to find a loan from a Dutch businessman.

    The Dutch also felt that they made money, not only disposing of the surplus warships expanded during the Thirty Years War, but also lending money to the UK to earn more interest.  It's a win-win, the Netherlands wins twice!

    Milton saw that Zhao Han was fooling around.Feeling: "What kind of great country is this? It has a population of hundreds of millions, and the capital alone has tens of thousands of students. If these students are formed into an army, it only takes one year of training, and the whole world can't find an opponent."  .”

    Marvell: "As envoys, we should push China to form an alliance with Britain. India is the overlord of South Asia, and we have already won the favor of the Mughal emperor. China is the overlord of the Far East. If we can get the favor of the Chinese emperor, Britain can replace it.  Holland's position in Asia, seizing all of Holland's interests in Asia."

    "It is probably very difficult to directly request an alliance," Milton said. "You can invite Chinese officials to visit the UK. Let Chinese officials see that the UK is really confronting the Netherlands. Perhaps in the case of a common enemy,  It can quickly bring the relationship between the two countries closer.”

 Text 720 [Nanjing Chronicle]

    The first place Milton visited was "Xi'anmen Street Primary School" in Nanjing.

    The most prosperous places in Nanjing are Nanshi and Beishi.

    Most of the wealthy businessmen live in the south, and their address is located in the southwest of the imperial city, which belongs to Jiangning County.

    Most of the high-ranking officials and nobles live in the north, and their addresses are located in the west and northwest of the imperial city, belonging to Shangyuan County.

    Xi'anmen Street Primary School is near the area where dignitaries and dignitaries live.  No matter what the emperor thought, the teachers in this school must be the best.

    Even if they were not excellent at the beginning, after a few years, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will make them excellent!

    Milton and Marvell walked all the way here. Except for Xi'anmen Street, the rest of the streets are relatively narrow, and they can even be called alleys.  Both sides are full of deep houses and large courtyards. It doesn't look very good from the outside of the fence, but only when you go in will you find something strange.

    It was the afternoon, and the principal Yan Bangqi personally received them.

    "How many teachers and students are there in this school?" Milton asked.

    Yan Bangqi replied: "There are 32 teachers (including principals and other administrative staff), and more than 600 students."

    While talking, everyone has arrived near the playground, and two classes are having physical education class.

    When Milton saw girls on the playground, he was startled and said, "Coeducation?"

    "Not bad." Yan Bangqi smiled.

    Rich families like to send their daughters to girls' schools.  But Xi'anmen Street Elementary School is different. The students here are either rich or noble. The teachers here are all celebrities.

    Therefore, the ratio of boys and girls is almost 50-50.

    Milton asked again: "Why are they wearing the same clothes?"

    Yan Bangqi introduced: "This is a Confucian shirt, which is also the uniform of scholars. Your Majesty has ordered that primary and secondary school students are not allowed to wear silk clothes, so these students all wear cotton Confucian shirts."

    Milton looked carefully again and asked: "What are they wearing around their waists?"

    "Jade pendant, a gentleman is like jade." Yan Bangqi explained.

    The translator of Honglu Temple said: "Those are ornaments made of jade. In ancient China, only philosophers with high moral character were eligible to wear jade.

    This is to encourage students to develop excellent moral character.  "

    "So that's the case." Milton nodded.

    In fact, students must hang jade pendants on their waists, which is the first requirement of Jinling University.

    The jade pendants of Jinling University all belong to medicine jade, that is, stained glass.  The pattern is also the school badge, and the jade pendant hanging on the waist is equivalent to wearing the school badge.

    Xi'anmen Street Elementary School quickly imitated, but wore more advanced.  This place is not glass, it is all real jade, and it is very valuable, you would be ashamed to wear cheap Xiuyu.  If you can't compare in clothes, then change it to a jade pendant for comparison!

    "Are they practicing combat skills?" Marvell said, pointing to the students in physical education class.

    Yan Bangqi smiled and replied: "Students are practicing sword sticks. The "Sword Classic" handed down by Yu Wuxiang can be used for physical fitness and combat. When fighting, you can use sticks or use swords instead.  At the end of the month, the students will go to Chengdong Racecourse to practice riding for half a day. If there is heavy rain, they will practice indoor archery at the end of the month."

    The translator of Honglu Temple said: "More than a hundred years ago, there was a victorious general in China, Yu Dayou. He left behind a set of fencing skills, which can be practiced with wooden sticks and can be replaced with real swords at any time. This is the student's  Physical education class, at the end of each month, I also practice riding and archery."

    Swordsmanship, riding, archery?

    Marvell immediately understood that this was a noble school.  In Europe, only nobles can learn these things. Firstly, it is a family secret, and secondly, ordinary people do not have the financial resources to learn it.

    Yan Bangqi stroked his beard and smiled: "Your Majesty has a saying that a gentleman in ancient times had six arts. Nowadays, scholars should not just study hard, but also practice martial arts to keep fit. Schools in all provinces of the country have arranged physical education courses. But, only  When I was in Bingmasi Elementary School, I invited experts to teach swordsmanship, riding and archery. Students who go out of this school, regardless of gender, are both civil and military!"

    When the director of Honglu Temple translated, he directly omitted half of them, not to mention that these are unique to this school.

    Milton's educational views also believe that schools should have sports content.  He said in admiration: "China's education is the best in the world, and all schools should have physical education classes."

    Go around the playground and come to the classroom area.

    The quality of teaching here is also reflected in the number of classes.  All are small classrooms, and there are no more than 2 students in each class, so as not to overwhelm the teacher.

    Yan Bangqi pointed to the window and said, "Except for the emperor'sOn Chuanmen Street, the area along the street is becoming more and more prosperous.  From Jinchuanmen Street,

    ?The goods can be shipped directly to the Yangtze River Wharf for loading.  I used to walk on Shitoumen Street, and I had to transfer boats from the Qinhuai River, and large ships couldn't pass through at all.

    The advantage of opening the sea is that in the northwest urban area of ??Nanjing, along the line of Jinchuanmen Street, the common people nearby are getting richer and richer.  Their houses are worth more, they can find more jobs, and the commercial atmosphere along the street has become stronger.

    The real slums are between Jinchuan Chuanmen Street, Dinghuaimen Street, Qingliangmen Street and Gulouwai Street.

    The houses here are very densely built, but whenever there is a gap, poor people will go to build shacks.  There are dense houses, but no two-story buildings can be found. The houses are also built with rammed earth and bamboo strips.  The window is just a hole left in the earth wall, and a few wooden strips are embedded.

    Compared with the city center, it seems to be two worlds.

    The director of Honglu Temple said: "The men in this area mostly work as coolies on the wharf, and most of the women work in textile factories outside the city. Although their income is not high, as long as they are willing to work, they don't have to worry about food and drink. That is Nanjing  Housing prices are too expensive, and they can’t afford a good house.”

    Milton nodded again and again, that's right, if it's all like the city center, China would be too scary.

    The director of Honglu Temple smiled and said: "In the past few years, the imperial court has not collected exorbitant taxes, and even the people here have a better life. Let's see, the houses in front are obviously newly built.  The homeowner must have saved money.”

    Those few houses really stand out from the crowd in the slums, because the outer walls of the houses are actually plastered.

    The people at the bottom have only that little dream. They work hard, live frugally, save money to live in a better house, and it is easier for their sons to find wives.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 721【Great Differences in Civilian Education】

    ,

    The houses in the slums are densely packed, and streets occasionally appear, but the width of these streets is less than two meters.

    "This is called Hujia Street," said the official of Honglu Temple, pointing to the narrow stone-paved street. "Three years ago, a wealthy businessman surnamed Hu donated money to replace the dirt road with stone slabs. The county magistrate named this street Hujia Street."  Home Street. The stone materials were donated by rich merchants, but the stone slabs were laid on the street, but it was the efforts of every household along the street.

    There are also many stalls under the eaves on both sides of the street. These stalls do not charge management fees, as long as they are not placed on the street.

    There are not many good things on the stalls, there are homemade cloth shoes, homemade wonton wrappers, homemade jelly and so on.  The customers are all poor people nearby, who pass by after work and buy some as they go.

    Most of the stall keepers are old women, and their clothes are full of patches.

    Cotton cloth is easy to be worn out, and several holes will be broken in one or two years. It is not as strong as chemical fiber cloth.  For civilians, clothes always need to be sewn and mended, and after a few years of wearing, they will become heavily patched.

    Milton passed by a stall. The old woman who kept the stall seemed to have never seen foreign devils before, and looked at them curiously.  When her eyes met the old woman, the old woman immediately smiled and said, "Does the customer buy vermicelli? I don't know how to make sweet potato vermicelli. My daughter-in-law is still in the city."

    (City Center) Learned.  My vermicelli is very delicious. In winter, I stew it with Chinese cabbage. After eating it, my whole body is full of energy. I can carry a few more bags when I go to the pier.  "

    After the official translation, Milton also laughed, and actually paid for a handful of vermicelli.

    The old lady at the booth next door saw it and immediately yelled: "Panniang candy, panniang candy. The candy taught by the imperial concubine Pan (rumour) in the palace, come and have a look!"

    The panniang candy sold here is obviously not authentic.  Because sucrose is very expensive, the old lady was reluctant to add more, so she only used a little brown sugar to fool her.

    Milton bought a few pieces of potato floss and walked while eating.  He soon discovered that even in slums, the streets were very clean. Residents along the streets were allotted lots, and the first thing in the morning was to sweep the streets.

    This is in stark contrast to the messiness of the London slums!

    Walking near the school, Milton found a stationery store.

    The printing quality of the books is very poor, and the paper and ink are the worst.  The writing brush is even more outrageous, and there are even burrs that have not been scraped clean on the bamboo pen holder.

    However, in the slums of Nanjing, stationery shops did appear, and there were more than one!

    The school here is called "Xishan Primary School".

    The school doesn't even have walls, and there is a road up and down the small hill, and the school is just up the mountain road.

    The houses are also very low and simple, but the classrooms are very large. There are fifty or sixty people in a class, and the students sit close together.  Moreover, the students' school supplies are also very poor. There is no serious inkstone, and they all use small clay bowls to grind ink and write.

    There are no uniform Confucian shirts, and the students are wearing worn-out and patched clothes.

    "Why are the teachers here so young?" Milton asked.

    The principal is also very young, only in his thirties.  He pointed to a teacher who was giving a lecture and said: "This teacher is called Yu Gui. He is only 18 years old this year. He didn't pass the entrance examination as an official in the county, and he didn't want to be an apprentice. He came to our school two years after graduating from elementary school.  Became a math teacher."

    An 18-year-old teacher, and only graduated from elementary school Compared with the noble schools in the city center, the judgment is judged!

    Milton turned around and asked General: "Is the curriculum of this school the same as that of the school in the city center?"

    The general officer of Honglu Temple replied: "Except for physical education, the rest of the courses are all the same. Students here, as long as they have good grades, can also take the exam and become an official."

    As soon as this remark came out, Milton felt strongly shocked, even the most shocked after coming to China.

    Commoner schools in the UK only teach English reading, writing and accounting. To put it bluntly, they train migrant workers.  In British aristocratic schools, courses such as Latin will be taught.  Only those who know Latin can be truly educated and have the ability to understand more advanced books and official documents.

    Feeling someone coming outside the window, all the students in the classroom sat upright and listened attentively.

    As soon as Milton and the others left, the students in the rows behind immediately fell asleep on the table.  As long as they don't fight, the teacher doesn't bother to care about them. Those who really love learning have already been transferred to the front position.

    The classrooms here are too large to install translucent window panes, otherwise it would be difficult to see the blackboard on rainy days.

    The windows are just a few very large holes, allowing wind and rain to flow in, and the students by the windows may catch a cold.

    For the bastard students in the back row, boil?One year is considered a liberation.  I can write my own name, and I can add and subtract. This is called being able to write and count. I will not be afraid of being cheated by the foreman when I work as a coolie in the future.

    ?Graduated from primary school in three years?

    Don't talk about it, leave after one year of reading, work early to earn money to subsidize the family!  Although I am too young, it is still possible to paste paper boxes for the shop.

    The students sitting in the front two rows are all good children selected by the teacher.  Even though they were born in poverty, they all have a heart to learn, staring at the teacher and the blackboard for fear of missing a word.

    The teaching conditions here are so shabby that there is only one dictionary per class, and students have to queue up and take turns to look up the dictionary.

    In fact, it is not bad. In the remote mountainous area, there is only one dictionary in the whole school.  And it is kept by the principal, and no damage is allowed. When the students look up the dictionary, the principal is watching the whole process.

    During the break, the children flocked out to play in the mud playground.

    Milton stopped a student whose clothes were particularly baggy.  It is probably worn by the elder brother in the family, the patches are heavy, and I don't know how many years it has been worn.

    "What's your name?" Milton asked.

    The students looked at the foreign devil curiously, after listening to the officer's translation, and knowing that he was an envoy from a foreign country, they cupped their hands and said, "The boy's name is Yuan Zongru, and it was changed by the teacher of the school.

    Milton asked again: "What do your parents do?"

    Yuan Zongru replied: "My father is a cargo shipman on the Qinhuai River, and my mother is paralyzed in bed and does some needlework on weekdays.

    Milton asked: "How many years have you been studying?"

    Yuan Zongru replied: "It's been three years, and I graduated from primary school this summer. Many students here can't graduate. If they fail the exam, they can only get a primary school graduation certificate. The boy's family is poor and his parents work hard, so he works hard, and he will definitely be able to graduate from primary school."  If God blesses you, you may be able to go to middle school at public expense, and the boy's family will be able to get rid of poverty."

    Today's schools at all levels are liberal in entry and strict in exit.

    The graduation exam is not organized by the school, but organized and proctored by government officials.  The passing rate of the primary school graduation exam is less than 50%, and half of the primary school students who take the exam can only get a professional certificate.  And the proportion of public funds to enter middle school is even less than 1 in 200.  If you have a primary school diploma and are not eligible for public funding, you can only study at your own expense.

    Therefore, children from poor families are not very motivated to study, let alone go to middle school at public expense, they may not even get a primary school diploma.

    For the imperial court, the primary school graduation certificate must be strictly held.  Because he has a primary school graduation certificate, he is eligible to take the county official examination, and cats and dogs cannot be mixed in.

    ?For poor children like Yuan Zongru, if they can go to middle school at public expense, they will fly high if they get a middle school diploma.  Even if you only get a high school business certificate, you can find a job in Nanjing, and many businesses and factories will rush to ask for it.

    "What is your ambition?" Milton asked.

    Yuan Zongru replied: "Go to middle school at public expense. After graduation from middle school, you will be admitted to the military academy. It is too difficult to enter the university, and it is also difficult to be an official in the government. It is easy for middle school graduates to enter the military academy. After graduating from the military academy, you can be assigned to be an officer. This is what the teacher said.  of."

    This kid is probably going to be cheated by the teacher. It is easy to enter the military academy because all the middle school graduates think highly of themselves.  Even if you don't get into college,

    It is also possible to take the examination of officials in the government, but very few apply for military academies.

    However, because the exams are too tough, more and more people are applying for the military academy. When Yuan Zongru graduates from middle school, the difficulty may already be second only to the college entrance examination.

    In the evening, Milton went back down the mountain.

    Lighting the oil lamp at night, Milton began to write a dissertation entitled "Revisiting the Problem of Education".

    "Education is the cornerstone of a country's strength, and public education for the common people is the inevitable direction of educational development"

    "China's education is undoubtedly the most successful in the world. Except for physical education, the children of the poor here learn the same as the children of the rich. In terms of culture, as long as they are willing to learn, they can theoretically keep pace with the rich.  Yes. Moreover, Chinese officials obtain their positions through examinations. China’s civil service system is a good system with mobility"

    "If Britain wants to become stronger, it must introduce the Chinese civil service system. The prerequisite for introducing the civil service system is to carry out extensive civilian education

    "Two hundred years ago, the UK broke the church's monopoly on education. But it was not enough. In the future, education in the UK should be changed from charity-run schools to government-run schools. Charity-run schools are often businessmen. They only teach civilian children to read, write and calculate accounts.  These children are then recruited as employees. This education system cannot produce real talents, and they cannot even read official documents in Latin"

    "The British Revolution, which has killed the king, has established the English Republic. The Republic has the duty and responsibility to allocate funds to build more schools,

    Let more civilian children receive real education.  As long as we persist in running the school for 20 years, we will continue to expand the scale of running the school.  Then twenty years later, the UK will become the cultural center of Europe, and the UK will have the most scholars in Europe.”

    Milton wrote this article with full expectation, but it was obviously in vain. He was really naive.

    When he returns to England again, he will find that his republic is gone, and Cromwell disperses the parliament and proclaims himself Lord Protector.

    The Republic is gone, and you still want the government to pay for education?

 Text 722 [Heilongjiang Capital]

    ,

    The first assistant Song Yingxing, the second assistant Fei Chun, the cabinet ministers Liu Ziren, Yuan Yunlong, and Chen Maosheng.

    This time the cabinet gathered together to discuss state affairs with the emperor for the first time after getting acquainted with the affairs at hand.

    Song Yingxing was the first to speak: "With the full collection of taxes in Shandong and Henan provinces, the annual tax revenue has increased a lot. The industrial and commercial taxes and tariffs of the provinces, especially in the coastal areas, are also increasing, but the treasury has not.  Too filling"

    "First, due to the surge in military expenditure, each division has 10,000 people, which has increased to 11,000, and new cavalry divisions are still being formed. The navy is continuing to build ships, and these will cost money."

    "Secondly, the salaries of officials have been increased, and the taxes withheld by the localities have been increased. One decrease and one increase, the fiscal revenue of the imperial court has disappeared a lot out of thin air."

    "Third, education expenditures are increasing year by year. Thanks to His Majesty's blessings, the world is peaceful now, exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are exempted, and the number of children in various provinces has increased sharply. Although free lunches have been cancelled, new schools will be built when there are too many children, and teachers must continue to be recruited. Governments all over the country  There is not enough money, which is also the reason for the increase in local retention. Small and medium-sized places are spending, while the provinces are large, but they are directly allocated by the treasury. The number of big ones is increasing day by day, and the number of teachers and students is also increasing. The annual expenditure is really not high.  few."

    "Fourth is immigration expenses. This is a cliché. Last year, there were 250,000 official immigrants. Vehicles, boats, grain, seeds, quilts, cattle There are all kinds of things, and the immigration expenses exceeded two million taels of silver."

    "Fifth is water course management. Yellow River improvement is the most expensive, and the existing river course needs to be constantly reinforced. Zhang Shangshu (Zhang Guowei) is digging and dredging new river courses in Shandong. Funds have to be allocated every year, and I don't know when it will be completed."

    "I suggest that after the formation of two new cavalry divisions, the number of troops should not be increased. There are too many troops in the north, while the troops in the south are empty. One division should be transferred to Sichuan, two divisions should be transferred to Minyue, and two divisions should be transferred back to Nanjing.  As for immigration, the number of people can be reduced appropriately, and 50,000 people per year are enough."

    Zhao Han nodded: "What Song Aiqing said is reasonable. After creating two new cavalry divisions, the army really shouldn't expand. But there are still battles to be fought in the north, so there is no need to send so many troops to the south. Let's transfer one division to Chengdu.  Take precautions against Tibet. Send another division back to Nanjing, which will be enough to defend the capital."

    Then, Zhao Han thought for a while: "As for immigrants, the total number of immigrants this year should be reduced to 150,000. Among them, 50,000 people will emigrate outside the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty to fill the population vacancy after the destruction of the Tartars!  Immigrants from bitter cold or remote areas must be given preferential treatment. Prepare more clothes and food for them, and the more cattle the better.”

    "Your Majesty is wise!" Song Yingxing cupped his hands.

    Yuan Yunlong, Fei Ruhe's eldest brother-in-law: "The newly occupied land outside the Great Wall of Liao (Jilin) ??can be governed by additional civil officials, but it does not have to be directly managed by Liaoning. A capital division should be set up for military control. The first is to prevent the Tartars from making a comeback, and the second is to deter them.  Those barbarians in the Northeast."

    Liu Ziren: "This statement is reasonable. The land of Nuergandusi in the former Ming Dynasty should also be fully recovered. After being ravaged by the Tartars for many years, Nuergandusi and the local people yearn for China. The capital outside the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty, I suggest that it be located in  Jianzhou (Hetuala), governing the vast area from the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty to Heilongjiang."

    Zhao Han shook his head and said, "Jianzhou City is too far to the west, how can Heilongjiang be controlled? Bring me a map!"

    A map of Nuergandusi was quickly placed in front of Zhao Han, which was obtained from the Wenyuan Pavilion Library in Beijing.

    Zhao Han carefully examined the map, pointing to Harbin in later generations: "It is best to set up the headquarters of the capital here."

    Harbin in the Ming Dynasty was called Laluwei, and it was the name of the Weisuo as soon as you heard it.  There is also a post station called Zalanu station.

    In the Ming Dynasty, the post road was opened, going all the way from Shenyang to Heilongjiang.

    Along the post road, there are Yidonghewei (Changchun), Laluwei (Harbin), Ha Sansuo (Tonghe), Huer Haiwei (Yilan), Zhubang Station (Jiamusi), Futiwei  (Fujin) following Heilongjiang River to the mouth of the sea, the mouth of the sea is the seat of Nuer Gandusi.

    Zhao Han looked at the map and continued: "All post stations set up in the former Ming Dynasty must be restored. This year's immigrants will be sent to the post stations first. The divisions in the northeast should not be idle, and all the abandoned post roads will be dredged. Dredge the post roads.  The amount of the project is quite large, and there are not so many civilians in the local area, so it can only be done by Datong soldiers.  Follow the past. In this way, the military power can radiate Heilongjiang and Songhua River basins, and even deter Beishan (outer Xing'an Mountains) Jurchens."

    "To the south," Zhao Han pointed to the map, "don't continue to nest in Jianzhou. Hu Dinggui will lead me to Huifa City (the east of Huinan County). With Huifa City as the center, resettlementThe people, educate the natives, the population increases, and the food is sufficient, then they can go to Ningguta and wipe out the remnants of the Tartars!  Before the population is sufficient, the mountains can also be raided every year.  Take the people under the rule of the Tartars, take away those who can be taken away, and kill those who cannot be taken away!  Once a year, after a few years, the Tartar population will be empty.  "

    Zhao Han picked up another map: "Xiao Zongxian's troops moved to the north of Liaobei, staring at the Mongols outside the Great Wall of Liao. Xiao Zongxian is not allowed to use troops this year, and Li Zheng, Hu Dinggui and other ministries will consume a lot of food and grass. Wait for the food in Liaodong to slow down next year.  Xiao Zongxian can wait for the opportunity to move. You can use any method to win over and split up, to conquer by force, and cooperate with the Hebei friendly army to take back all the land of Duoyan Sanwei!"

    Zhao Han continued to search for a map, pointing to the Hetao area: "Last year, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi and Henan, and the local grain storage was exhausted. After the grain storage is restored, immediately let the local officials of Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Henan provinces collect Changping  For the grain in the warehouse, send troops to take back Hetao in one fell swoop, and get back everything south of Yinshan Mountain!"

    The five cabinet ministers looked at each other in blank dismay. The emperor breathed so much, all of which were expansion plans in the north.

    If all of them are implemented, how much food will be consumed.

    It has not been moved in the past few years. It is because the population in the north is empty and a large amount of land is abandoned. To fight a big war, grain must be transported from the south to the north.  After several years of recovery, coupled with the continuous use of food from the south to emigrate, the population of the northern provinces has gradually increased, and food production has also continued to increase.

    In this way, it is completely possible to collect grain on the spot and send troops to the grassland to recover the lost land.

    If it weren't for the severe drought in the north last year, which consumed too much food, troops could be sent to recover Hetao this year.

    Fei Chun asked: "Since the capital of the Northeast has changed its administration, should it still be called the capital of Nuer Gan?"

    Zhao Han thought seriously: "Let's call it the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Commander. Li Zheng should not lead the troops himself, and appoint him as the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Commander to take charge of Heilongjiang's military and civil affairs."

    Military and civilian affairs are grasped, and its jurisdiction includes Heilongjiang, Jilin, and large areas of Russia in later generations.  This power is large enough to certainly no longer give the actual command of the army.

    By the way, in addition to buying Northeast military rations from North Korea and transporting them from southern China, some of them even came from Japan.

    Famines broke out repeatedly in Japan. Farmers starved to death every year, but local lords offered to sell food.  These grains were first transported to Ganghwa Island, then transferred to Lushunkou, and finally landed in the hands of the Datong Army—Ganghwa Island, located at the mouth of the Han River, was originally a place where North Korea exiled political prisoners, but now it has become a sea trade between the two countries.  It is a trading place, and the Datong Navy has rented a piece as a military port.

    Liu Ziren suddenly said: "Your Majesty, according to the Guangnan Provincial Report, after more than a year, most of the officials who went to Guangnan to serve in Guangnan can speak the local dialect and are familiar with the specific conditions of the people in Guangnan. They will play hard this year.  Forcing the big clans in Guangnan to split up their land Maybe, the gentry in Guangnan will confuse the people and incite the people to riot again. The Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War want to slow down. There was a civil uprising last year in Guangnan. If there is another civil uprising this year, I am afraid  It is not conducive to winning the hearts of the people in Guangnan."

    "What are you afraid of?" Zhao Han sneered, "cut the mess quickly, or when will it be delayed? If there is a civil uprising, the army will be dispatched, just to kill a few more gentry with ulterior motives. As for the people of Guangnan, it is inevitable that there will be casualties during the battle.  Since you rebelled with the gentry, you must have the consciousness to die by the sword!"

    Now that half of Vietnam is occupied, the division of land must be implemented.

    ? Firstly, this is a national policy of the new dynasty, and secondly, it took the opportunity to eliminate the influence of the gentry.  The land annexation there is so fierce that the common people don't even understand what the gentry are.  If the gentry want to rebel, the people will be bewitched, and if they don't deal with it, it will always be a hidden danger.

    Only by implementing the policy of dividing land so that the gentry cannot monopolize land resources can the rebellion problem be solved once and for all.

    Like Daming, when someone rebelled, he suppressed it, but did not clean up the Vietnamese gentry.  Then after the national power declines, the Vietnamese gentry will have a different heart, use the resources and influence in their hands, and bring the people who don't understand anything to chaos again.

    After the five cabinet ministers dispersed, Zhao Han leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

    Not long after, British envoys were brought in.

    "Meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

    "Sit down. How many schools have you visited?"

    Milton: "We visited two small schools, one middle school, and Jinling University. China's school education is very great, and we admire it from the bottom of our hearts."

    "You don't have to admire, Britain can do the same." Zhao Han laughed.

    "After returning to England, I will submit a proposal to Parliament." Milton.

    After a chat, Milton suddenly issued an invitation: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, on behalf of the Republic of England, I invite Chinese officials to visit the UK."

    These words made Zhao Han think seriously, and it seemed that he could indeed send a mission.

    Not only to visit the UK, but also to visit other countries along the way to enhance China's official influence from Asia to Europe.  By the way, collect intelligence information along the way, and compile new nautical charts like Zheng He did."These words made Zhao Han think seriously, and it seemed that he could indeed send an envoy.

    Not only to visit the UK, but also to visit other countries along the way to enhance China's official influence from Asia to Europe.  By the way, collect intelligence information along the way and compile new nautical charts like Zheng He did.

 Body 723【Myanmar Invasion】

    Zhang Ruifeng, You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, was summoned by the emperor for no reason.

    He guessed that there might be a mission, perhaps to North Korea, or to the Western Regions, but he never dreamed that it would be Europe.

    "Are you from Longyou?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhang Ruifeng replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my hometown is indeed in Longyou County. However, when I was young, I went into business with my father and went as far as Yunnan. There were wars in the southwest and swords were everywhere, so I and my father did business in Jiangxi. Thanks to Your Majesty's benevolence."  Jiang An Ding is good for business, and there was no more stable place at that time. Because of this, my father asked the minister to serve His Majesty, and the one who can win the world must be His Majesty."

    "You have a good father," Zhao Han asked with a smile, "The Longyou Merchant Gang is famous all over the world. I heard that it has been particularly active in recent years."

    Zhang Ruifeng said: "Longyou merchants are not as rich and powerful as Huizhou merchants and Jiangxi merchants, and they don't form cliques like Western merchants (Shanshan merchants), and they don't have the benefits of sea trade like Fujian, Guangdong and Zhejiang merchants. Longyou merchants rely on  It's hard work, other merchants dare not go, and other merchants look down on them, so the Longyou merchants will take over."

    "Longyou merchants have made great contributions to restoring people's livelihood in the north." Zhao Han nodded in approval.

    In recent years, the imperial court has immigrated to the north in large numbers, and there are also preferential treatment in terms of business tax.  Businessmen from Anhui, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi moved after hearing the news, but they basically only went to big cities in the north.

    However, Longyou merchants found another way to do business in small northern counties.  In the backward areas of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces, big businessmen from all over the country were reluctant to go, and it was Longyou merchants who came out collectively. The shadow of Longyou merchant gang can be seen everywhere on the southwest border, and even went to Vietnam to do business since last year.

    Zhang Ruifeng said: "Not only can the livelihood of the people in the north be restored, but also the merchants themselves can make money. This is a matter of benefiting the country, the people and themselves, and Longyou merchants are duty-bound.

    Zhao Han asked: "I heard that Longyou merchants have started to develop overseas?"

    Zhang Ruifeng said: "Taiwan and Luzon are mostly merchants from Fujian, and they hold together to exclude foreigners. If Longyou merchants can't get in, they can only go to Ryukyu and Fangzhang counties to collect some local goods and timber. Now the imperial court has seized Malacca, Fujian  Cantonese businessmen thought it was too far away, so they basically only went to Banten and Palembang. Longyou businessmen encountered this gap and were already organizing sea trips, and decided to go to Malacca for a living.”

    Maritime merchants from Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang are of course willing to sail to Ryukyu and Malacca.  However, they are engaged in maritime trade, while Longyou merchants will stay and develop.

    The Longyou Merchant Gang had no ships, so they went to live in Ryukyu and Fangzhang counties.  They are responsible for receiving goods from the natives and selling them to passing Fujian ships, and they actually earn some hard-earned odds and ends.

    The imperial court was happy to see this situation, so when organizing immigration, it basically did not recruit in Longyou County.  It is mountainous and the land is barren. Young and strong men like to travel far away to do business. As a result, most of the farmers at home are old, weak, women and children. Recruiting immigrants in Longyou County will be messy.

    In fact, men in Anhui and Shanxi are also used to doing business away from home, and most of them started from small businesses.  But they didn’t go far, perhaps to neighboring counties, or to neighboring provinces, while Longyou merchants directly crossed several provinces, and even went to the Western Regions and Burma as early as the Ming Dynasty.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "You dared to go to Yunnan to do business when you were young. You must not be afraid to travel far, so I will give you an errand to go to other countries."

    "But according to His Majesty's orders!" Zhang Ruifeng hurriedly stood up and cupped his hands.

    Zhao Han waved and said, "Come here."

    Zhang Ruifeng stepped forward, stood cautiously, and cast his eyes on the world area that the emperor took out.

    Zhao Han pointed to the map and said: "Passing Malacca, the fleet will proceed along the land. You will encounter a small country, which has been accepted as a vassal. Further north, it is the territory of Siam. You only need to negotiate with the local officials, and you don't have to go to  See the king of Siam. Then Toungoo (Myanmar), ordered him to surrender quickly, and ordered his envoy to Nanjing to present his letter of credence."

    "If Dongyu is unwilling to surrender, should he go ashore and teach him a lesson?" Zhang Ruifeng asked.

    Zhao Han warned: "Remember,

    Your task is to go to various countries, not to fight.  If Dong Yu refuses to accept Wang Hua, you can write it down, don't delay the trip.  "

    "Minister, please remember!" Zhang Ruifeng took the order.

    Zhao Han continued: "Further ahead is Arakan (the southwestern coast of Myanmar and the eastern coast of Bangladesh). This country is a deadly enemy with Siam. Its people are not afraid of the sea. If they are damaged along the way, they can recruit supplementary sailors in Arakan."

    Chittagong in later generations of Bangladesh also belonged to the territory of Arakan at this time, and this country was the little overlord of the sea in the Bay of Bengal.

    A hundred years ago, Arakan was repeatedly plundered by Portugal, and occasionally cooperated with Portugal, and had already mastered Portuguese navigation and gun technology.  Arakan has a close relationship with Taungoo (Myanmar), and they often join forces to fight Siam, and once they even pulled Portugal.

    Zhao Han said:; Now, Mubang, Mengyang, and Mengmi are all in the hands of Myanmar, and they have not returned their land. Now they still have the face to enclose, and they also ask for gold seals and documents.

    Historically, the Taungoo Dynasty in Myanmar also requested canonization in the same way after killing Emperor Nanming.  Regardless of the Manchu Qing, the three lands of Mubang, Mengyang, and Mengmi were all given to the Toungoo Dynasty.  Later, during the Qing-Burmese War, China once took back the lost land, but Lord Qianlong had a brain twitch, and with a wave of his hand, he took the initiative to reward the territory.

    The memorial is attached to Huang Yao's "paste yellow", which is an accompanying document of the military.

    Huang Yao, who lives in Yunnan, wrote things more clearly.  Those lost lands are very poor, and the mountains are high and the forests are dense, so the transportation of military supplies is extremely difficult.  If you want to fight, please give him two years to prepare, and you have to use the armed police force in Yunnan to assist.  It is best not to send reinforcements from other places. The climate on the border of Yunnan is complicated, and the troops from other provinces may not be able to bear it.

    ? Zhao Han replied: "Yunnan inspectors will be dispatched by you, and all prefectures and counties in Yunnan will also cooperate as much as possible. Within three years, I will recover Mubang, Mengyang,

    Meng Mi three places.  "

 Body 724【Myanmar Conquest Plan】

    Ordered Huang Yao to prepare for the battle in Yunnan, including dispatching secret operations, collecting intelligence, detecting the terrain, familiarizing himself with the climate, arranging the army, and so on.

    As for the central court, it naturally has to be seriously discussed.

    Lu Xiangsheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, sent someone to collect information for half a month, and finally came to meet the emperor, and the cabinet ministers also gathered together.

    Lu Xiangsheng pointed to a map from a hundred years ago and said: "In the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the local barbarians fought against the local barbarians until the end of Wanli.

    The truce was not because the former Ming court won the war, but because the Ming army was unable to suppress it, and Taungoo tacitly occupied all the lands under the jurisdiction of Burmese chieftains.  "

    "At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Luchuan Kingdom was the only one. In the first year of Jianwen, the chief of the Luchuan Kingdom died of illness, and his son's succession was unpopular. The Ming court took the opportunity to provoke, and the chieftains of the Luchuan Kingdom became self-reliant and split into the Mu State (Shan State)  North), Mengyang (Kachin State), Mengding (Lincang Gengma), Dahou

    (Lincang Yun County), Nandian (Dehong Liang River) and Lujiang (Baoshan Lujiang Dam), Wandian (Baoshan Changning), Menglian (Lincang Menglian),

    In Zheledian (Pu'er Zhenyuan), only Mengmao, Longchuan and other places are left under the jurisdiction of Luchuan.  "

    "Subsequently, Emperor Jianwen canonized these chieftains, and there were Mupang, Mengyang, Burma and other propaganda divisions."

    "Since then, Luchuan Kingdom has been at war with the former Ming Dynasty for a hundred years. With the support of the former Ming Dynasty, Chieftain Meng Yang quickly rose to dominate for a while. As a result, Luchuan Kingdom declined and was forced to surrender to Ming Dynasty. Daming established Luchuan Pingmen Division. The main enemy of Ming Dynasty  , thus became Chieftain Mengyang, and Chieftain Mengyang conquered the city and established the Awa Kingdom.”

    "The Toungoo tribe in the south rose again, annexed Burma (Myanmar Xuanweisi) and other chieftains, and destroyed the Awa Kingdom in the Wanli period. Now, all the chieftains enshrined in the former Ming Dynasty have been annexed by Toungoo."

    Lu Xiangsheng roughly recounted the three hundred years of power changes in Myanmar.

    In later generations, Baoshan City, Lincang City, and Pu'er City in Yunnan Province are now partly occupied by the Taungoo Dynasty of Myanmar.

    Lu Xiangsheng continued: "The former Ming Dynasty not only conferred chieftains, but also sent troops to conquer many times. There are two ways to send troops in the Ming Dynasty: the first is to establish a country with a local power, such as Luchuan Kingdom and Awa Kingdom, and then send a large army.  Raise more than 100,000 troops; the second is to let the Mu family lead troops to suppress the rebellion without strong power to build a country. The Mu family mainly recruits and recruits. When they cannot be recruited, they recruit a few chieftains and gather troops to attack one of the chieftains."

    Everyone remained silent, waiting for Lu Xiangsheng to explain the situation.

    Lu Xiangsheng added: "Summarizing the military experience of the previous Ming Dynasty, we can draw the following points-"

    "First, the mountain roads in Burma are rugged and the climate is hot. You can't fight for a long time, and you can't fight in depth. Otherwise, it will be difficult to transport the army food, and the soldiers will easily get sick. Every time a 100,000 army goes out in the Ming Dynasty, they always accept it as soon as it is good.  After winning the battle, use the strategy of dividing and attracting."

    "Second, Mengyang (Kachin State, Myanmar) is very important. The Tang Dynasty is the territory of the Nanzhao Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty is the territory of the Dali Kingdom. There are many river valleys and plains here.

    The population is relatively dense, and agriculture is also quite prosperous.  If there is a strong power to establish a country in Myanmar, once Mengyang is taken down, the strength will increase greatly, and it will be a trouble for China.  If we send troops, chieftains can be set up in other areas, but Meng Yang must change his land and return to the people!  "

    "Thirdly, the Toungoo Kingdom has long been too big to lose. When it went northward to invade the country during the Wanli period, Toungoo claimed to have sent millions of troops. According to the report of the governor of Yunnan in the previous Ming Dynasty, counting civilians and the like, Toungoo probably dispatched 200,000 to 300,000 troops.  This is the No. 1 powerful country in the south, and it is definitely not comparable to the small country in Annan. In addition, the terrain and climate are complicated, and General Huang will have tens of thousands of people. It may be difficult to please."

    Sending 200,000 to 300,000 troops, has Myanmar been so awesome?

    Zhao Han realized that he underestimated the enemy. He didn't take Myanmar seriously before.

    Prince Narai of Siam is currently studying at Jinling University, and Zhao Han immediately sent someone to summon him.

    The guards of the imperial city rushed out and brought Na Lai into the palace.

    Zhao Han asked: "How much do you know about the Toungoo Kingdom?"

    Prince Narai replied: "All the kings of the Toungoo Kingdom were militaristic, and the territory expanded tenfold in a hundred years. When I was young, Toungoo invaded Siam all the way to the capital of Siam. Thanks to the Japanese hired  The soldiers helped each other, and there was a rebellion in the rear of Toungoo, so the capital of Siam did not fall."

    Na Lai still has lingering fears when he said it at this time. His country almost disappeared back then.

    Prince Nalai continued: "Tungoo Kingdom is expanding too fast, and there are many internal conflicts, especially in the north where there are frequent rebellions. After King Talong succeeded to the throne, he seldom raised troops to expand and devoted himself to rectifying internal forces. King Talong only succeeded to the throne for six years.  In 1999, he moved the capital to Ava in the north. After he cut off the local chiefs, he distributed the land to the peasants. He also organized households, measured land, reformed taxation, reduced corvees, and rectified currency. ThisAt that time, the Toungoo Kingdom, although it did not fight frequently, its national strength was stronger than before!  "

    These words gave Zhao Han and the ministers a headache.

    If the Taungoo country has been militaristic, China will not be afraid, and it will easily win by dividing its internal affairs.  There happened to be some kind of "Talong King". As soon as he heard about this man's policy of administration, he knew that he was a master of internal affairs, which was equivalent to Huang Taiji's in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.  "

    Prince Nalai said with a smile: "Three years ago, King Talong died, and the surrounding countries breathed a sigh of relief."

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone was in a good mood.

    Prince Nalai said: "The new king of the Toungoo Kingdom is named Mangda. This man was greedy for enjoyment, so he ordered the expansion of the palace in the first year of his succession. In order to build the palace, he issued additional corvees and asked the chiefs from all over the country to offer huge trees.  Also raised taxes on farmers."

    Come on, another prodigal son.

    Mang Da is the king of Burma who welcomed Emperor Yongli in history.  Although he confiscated the weapons of the Ming army, he was still polite to Emperor Yongli. After all, Li Dingguo was still resisting the Qing Dynasty at that time.

    But Mangda was so stupid that he made the sky angry and people complained. His younger brother Mangbai joined forces with the ministers to kill the king and stand on his own.  After Mangbai came to power, he designed to kill Emperor Yongli's entourage, robbed Emperor Yongli's wealth and daughter, and tied Emperor Yongli to Wu Sangui.

    Lu Xiangsheng asked: "Is it possible to march troops to Toungoo from the sea?"

    Prince Nalai said: "The capital of the Toungoo Kingdom was indeed in the south, and it was easy to fight from the sea. But after King Talong moved the capital, the center of gravity of Toungoo's rule has moved to the north. It is also possible to send troops by sea, but  Capture its important port city, and if the battle goes well, you can also reach its capital Ava."

    Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the map and said: "Then attack from the north and the south. General Huang led the army to send troops to the north, and then transferred a division from Guangnan to send troops to the south by sea.

    Zhao Han said: "First determine the ultimate purpose of sending troops, whether to destroy the country or just regain the lost ground."

    Song Yingxing interjected: "Tungoo's terrain and climate are complicated, and the territory is very large. I'm afraid it will be difficult to destroy the country. We can't think about eating it and becoming a big fat man."

    Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the old map of the Ming Dynasty and said: "Luchuan and Cheli must be taken back. Taking these two places and stationing troops at the checkpoint can keep Yunnan safe."

    The ruling centers of Luchuan and Cheli, two chieftains, were in later generations of China.

    The area under the jurisdiction of Luchuan includes a part of Baoshan and Lincang in Yunnan.  Chelisi's jurisdiction includes a part of Pu'er City in Yunnan.

    Lu Xiangsheng raised his finger and said, "The land of Mengyang must also be taken back."

    The area under the jurisdiction of Mengyang is not only Kachin State in Myanmar, but also includes a small area in northeastern India.  At this time, large areas of Assam, Nagaland and Manipur in later generations of India belonged to Myanmar.

    Prince Nalai looked at the map, pointed to the northern part of Laos and said, "This is also the territory of the Taungoo Kingdom."

    Zhao Han drew a circle in northern Laos: "All of them?"

    "Most of them are," Prince Narai finished, and drew a circle in the northwest of Thailand, "This used to be the land of Siam, which was taken by Taungoo decades ago.

    Such a big Burma, it simply impacted Zhao Han's three views!

    At this time, the entire territory of Myanmar includes parts of later China, Thailand, Laos, India, and Bangladesh.

    Prince Narai said: "If your Majesty conquers Toungoo, I will return home to convince my father that Siam can send 5,000 troops to help in the battle. The Siamese army raises their own food and grass, and only wants to take back the invaded homeland after victory."

    "Very good, loyalty is commendable," Zhao Han praised, "As long as Siam helps in the war, China will definitely help Siam regain the lost ground."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Prince Narai was overjoyed. This matter killed two birds with one stone. It could not only please the Chinese emperor, but also recover Thailand's lost land.

    After finishing speaking here, Lu Xiangsheng continued: "The rest of Mubang, Mengmi and other places can incite the chieftains to stand on their own. After the war, follow the example of Ming Dynasty and set up chieftains to dismember the Toungoo country, leaving only Burma,  Toungoo and other places."

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "That's it. The goal of this battle is to recover Mengyang, Luchuan, and Cheli, and send officials to manage them all. Then dismember Dongyu, instigate Mengmi, Mubang and other places to become independent,  Canonize chieftains such as Mengmi and Mubang. The land occupied by Laos and Siam should be vomited out by Toungoo. If Nanzhang (Laos) sends troops to help, the lost land will be returned to them. If Nanzhang does not send troops,  After that piece was taken back, the chieftain was set up. And"

    Zhao Han checked the map carefully, pointed to the location of Yangon and said, "This place will be occupied as a naval base and an overseas trading port. In the future, if Toungoo dares to commit crimes, he will send troops directly from the port to teach him a lesson."

    At this time, Yangon, called Dagon, also called Daguang, has developed into a sea trade town.

    Prince Narai reminded: "Your Majesty, if you march from the sea, you can land at Madupa."

    "Where is Ma Duba?" Zhao Han asked.

    Prince Nalai pointed to two hundred miles to the northeast of Yangon: "This is Madupa, and it is also the largest seaport in Toungoo. Toungoo City, the old capital of Taungoo, goes north along the river from Madupa, about 300 kilometers away.  You can arrive there. Although Taungoo has moved its capital, many nobles and wealthy merchants still live in its old capital, Toungoo City. Not far from Maduba to the north, there is also Pego, the big city of Toungoo. Take Bago  City and Toungoo City, the country of Toungoo is bound to be shaken, and the king had to send troops south to rescue."

    It is still necessary to be familiar with the specific situation, otherwise you will not be able to grasp the key points in the fight.

    Zhao Han praised: "If you win this battle, I will definitely reward you!" &lt;/div&gt;nbsp;Prince Narai reminded: "Your Majesty, if you march from the sea, you can land at Madupa."

    "Where is Ma Duba?" Zhao Han asked.

    Prince Nalai pointed to two hundred miles to the northeast of Yangon: "This is Madupa, and it is also the largest seaport in Toungoo. Toungoo City, the old capital of Taungoo, goes north along the river from Madupa, about 300 kilometers away.  You can arrive there.

    ,

    After the general plan is formulated, the rest is all about the details.

    Definitely not able to send troops this year, but there is no need to wait for three years, because they can attack from the sea.  Either next year or the year after, there must be a conquest.

    Before that, Huang Yao had to send people from Yunnan to familiarize himself with the topography and climate of northern Myanmar, and inquire about the news of the local chieftains in Myanmar. It would be best if he could stir up internal conflicts.  In terms of ocean, Guangdong merchants were asked to take boats to engage in trade, and Datong secret agents mixed in with the caravan to land and inquire.

    King Toungoo sent someone to Kunming to request canonization.  That would allow the local officials to delay, ask for bribes according to the order, and disturb the matter of the canonization, but at the same time, it would not cause vigilance in Toungoo's heart.

    When all the preliminary preparations are completed, the north and south will be caught off guard.

    At the same time, one of Fei Yinggong's divisions was transferred to Chengdu to be stationed, and the family members of the soldiers also moved there.  From now on, this division will be the local troops in Sichuan, mainly defending against Tibet, and may go to Tibet to fight in the future.

    Fei Yinggong was getting old, so he was recalled to Nanjing to take up the post, and the teacher chose another person to take up the post.

    ?After returning to Beijing, Fei Yinggong moved to the Dudu Mansion and served as the Left Dudu of the Right Army (Zheng Yipin), and was promoted to the title of Qinghou with a single character.  Whether it is deprivation of the command right, or returning to Beijing to enjoy the wealth, anyway, there will be no need to lead troops in the future.

    Jiang Dashan took a division back to Nanjing to defend the capital.

    Jiang Liang took a division to Hangzhou to sit in the south of the Yangtze River.

    Liu Zhu took a division to Xuzhou to support the north and the south.

    In this way, four divisions went south, and the northern border no longer gathered together to garrison, and the pressure on logistics and transportation was greatly reduced.

    There are currently 3,000 imperial guards and 7,000 regular troops in Nanjing. Now that another division has been transferred back, the entire Nanjing army is 20,000.  In addition, there are police forces and Jinling Mansion inspectors, which add up to more than 10,000 people.

    Certainly not enough, it doesn't matter when Zhao Han is here, after two or three generations of emperors, more troops will be needed to defend the center.

    There is no rush for the time being, and when the grassland is completely calmed down, two more divisions will be transferred back.

    Zhao Han called Zhu Youdong, the commander of the imperial guards: "This year, we will send a fleet of missions to Western countries, and there may be wars along the way. In addition to the navy soldiers, I plan to let 1,000 imperial guards follow the sea. Among them, 300 armored guards will be selected.  Only in this way can we demonstrate the majesty of my celestial dynasty. You pass the news on and let the forbidden soldiers sign up. There may be storms along the way, and there is a risk of being buried in the belly of a fish. Those who are willing to go to sea will have a starting fee, and the salary will be paid three times. In case of danger, I will  Treat his wife and children well."

    "Follow the order!"

    Zhu Youdong took the order to leave.

    The emperor's armored guards used to have only three hundred, but later increased to five hundred.  They are all strong and strong men, wearing plate armor and fighting with hammers.

    These are not the products of the Taiping Dynasty. They are all selected from the elites of various armies and killed from the sea of ??corpses and blood.  Three hundred iron armored guards, seven hundred imperial city guards, and some naval soldiers can capture harbor cities along the way, and even destroy small countries if they play outrageously.

    When Zheng He sailed to the West, he fought many battles on the way!

    In the blink of an eye, it is the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and the heat in Nanjing is unbearable.

    This summer was extremely hot, and the emperor couldn't bear it anymore. After reviewing the memorials every day, it was like taking a bath with his clothes on.  Even though there were maids fanning the whole time, they were still drenched. Emperor Zhao finally decided to go to the mountains to escape the heat.

    The summer resort on Zijin Mountain has almost been built, and this is Zhao Han's only "large-scale construction" except for the Forbidden City.

    The civil servants are too lazy to take care of it, and they don't even have anyone to advise them.

    ?Because Zhao Han did not use the treasury, nor did he collect corvee.  Since it was all paid for by the emperor, the civil servants would only chew their tongues when they were full.

    The Summer Resort was not built grandly, and giant trees were not even used, because those things were too wasteful of money and manpower.  Most of the wood is felled on the spot, and the house is built relatively low, which occupies a large area, otherwise it is similar to the manor of a rich man.

    The concubines in the harem, the princes and daughters, all went to escape the summer together, and the princes and princesses have already had their summer vacation.

    ? It is troublesome to deal with official documents, and they have to be delivered back and forth inside and outside the city.

    "It's still comfortable on the mountain, the temperature is several degrees lower than in the city." Zhao Han lay under a big tree to enjoy the cool air.

    As for the temperature, there have been thermometers for a long time.

    At the Qintianyuan Planetarium, the temperature is recorded every month and every day every year, so as to observe the annual climate change.

    Fei Rulan came over with the maid, wearing a vaguely transparent gauze, because her underwear was blocking her, only two arms were half exposed.  This is the ancient summer clothing for noble ladies, poor people can't afford it, and the thin fabric is too expensive.

    "Husband, chilled??Come to her room.

    Zhao Han was so amused that he walked over with a smile, and chatted with her with his arms around her.

    After this year's summer, there have been no major floods in the provinces.  Coupled with the favorable weather in the first half of the year, Zhao Han is completely at ease, at least within this year, he doesn't have to worry about it, and he can relax a little and play more.

    ? In the early morning of the next day, Aisha helped Zhao Han get dressed, and reluctantly sent the emperor out.

    Zhao Han walked around the villa for a while, and found that today was actually cloudy.  He came to the temporary office and asked, "Is there a rush?"

    "No." Li Xiangjun replied.

    Zhao Han said happily: "Then I won't work today, and I will go to the racecourse to play on the cloudy day. By the way, bring all the official documents, and I still need to review them in my spare time."

    The emperor was lazy, and no one dared to stop him.

    ? In fact, the female officials and maids were also happy. They brought all kinds of belongings and went down the mountain happily, heading towards the horse farm.

    The guards were also happy. There was a garrison at the racecourse, and it was closed. No one else was allowed to enter. These guards could be lazy.

    Uncertain, the emperor will also organize a ball game and let the guards play polo to watch the fun.

    7017

 Text 726 [Concubine's Bet]

    (); Polo was relatively prosperous in the early Ming Dynasty.

    Wang Fu, a native of Zhongshushe, once wrote a song "A Banquet for Watching Rides and Shooting Balls at the Dragon Boat Festival" when he was watching the ball with Zhu Di.

    However, as the number of horses decreased and the martial arts gradually dissipated, polo began to decline in the middle of Ming Dynasty, and it was only preserved as a court ritual and folk festival.  But no matter what, until the end of Ming Dynasty, polo sport definitely existed.

    Just like Cuju, the sudden disappearance of polo was after the entry of the Qing Dynasty.

    In the early years of the Qing Dynasty, anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty was everywhere, so gatherings of Han people with more than 30 people were prohibited.  It was even forbidden to worship with different surnames. At the beginning, they were caught with a hundred whips for sworn worship, but in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi, they were changed to direct beheading.

    Disappeared together, and Shang already stepped out.

    The Shangji Festival is next to the Ching Ming Festival and the Cold Food Festival. In spring, the sun is warm and a hundred flowers are in full bloom. Men and women go out for an outing in the city, and the suburbs are full of gentry and common people playing.  After the party is banned, it will be impossible. If you go out for a spring outing, you may be arrested and thrown into prison.  Therefore, the three festivals of Shangji, Qingming, and Hanshi were completely merged in the Qing Dynasty, leaving only the function of visiting ancestors' graves.

    At this moment, Zhao Han was sitting in the stands, and the guards of the imperial city were "fighting" on horseback.

    Compared with polo in the Tang Dynasty, it has changed a lot now.  The wooden ball was changed to a leather ball, the club became longer, and the scoring rules were changed.

    A guard named Quartz rode his horse to catch up with the ball.  He tilted his body out, and after the wooden club hit the ball, he didn't swing out immediately, but dragged the ball forward, which is equivalent to dribbling forward in football.

    Two enemy cavalry intercepted one after another, the closest distance was only two horses, and Quartz suddenly swung his pole.

    The ball rolled quickly on the ground, and the teammate stepped up to catch the ball, but the enemy was also fighting for it.

    "Boom!"

    With a muffled sound, the ball was knocked into the air.

    "nice shot!"

    Lu Tianxiang was originally sitting behind the emperor, but at this moment she couldn't help standing up and applauding.

    However, the ball was passed accurately, and the teammate stretched out his rod to vent his strength.  Then the horse started to canter, dragged the ball straight to the goal, and someone from the enemy came to intercept him diagonally. The person immediately adjusted his posture and swung the club, and the ball went into the goal quickly and accurately.

    Compared with modern polo, there are fewer rules in polo at this time.

    Of course, head-on collisions and right-angle collisions are also prohibited.  Otherwise, it is impossible to play at all, and it is easy to get injured. Generally, they ride horses side by side to grab the ball.

    "good!"

    Zhao Han couldn't help applauding, and said with a smile: "The red side won this round, and each will be given an official belt."

    The official belt is not very expensive, but it is not shabby, made of silk, inlaid with stained glass and agate.  Moreover, it was bestowed by the emperor, so wearing it will save face, and the winning side will immediately smile.

    "Your Majesty, I want to play too!" Lu Tianxiang eagerly said.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Go ahead. You lead the red team, and Xiuying leads the blue team."

    Tian Xiuying immediately stood up and began to put on the equipment.  Wrist pads, knee pads, elbow pads, hats, etc., if they fall, they will not be seriously injured.

    The two concubines got on their horses and each selected a team member from among the guards.

    Suddenly, Lu Tianxiang approached the stands on horseback and said, "Your Majesty, what's the prize if you win?"

    Zhao Han said: "Whoever wins can make a request. As long as you don't go too far, I will definitely help her achieve her wish."

    Lu Tianxiang looked slyly and said: "Then what is too much and what is not too much? It was agreed at the beginning, and I learned 500 Chinese characters, and His Majesty let me join the army. This matter has also been rejected."

    Zhao Han said speechlessly: "I told you earlier, I know five hundred characters, and I just allow you to enter the palace to have an audience."

    "No regrets this time." Lu Tianxiang said.

    "Let's play ball first." Zhao Han felt that the girl was playing tricks again.

    "Drive!"

    Lu Tianxiang pulled the reins, turned the horse's head and rushed to the field.

    The referee took out Datong silver dollars, Tian Xiuying guessed the pros and cons, and had the right to hit the ball in the opening game, while Lu Tianxiang could choose the venue.

    Both women acted as shooters, and the guards under their command were in charge of running the fight.

    After a fight, the ball finally passed to Tian Xiuying.  The players from both sides fought fiercely, and sometimes they even rubbed against each other, but when the ball was in Tian Xiuying's hands, they immediately became peaceful.

    The enemy players also came to fight, but they did not dare to get too close, for fear of causing Concubine Tian to fall off the horse and get injured.

    "Stop it, grab the ball!" Lu Tianxiang shouted anxiously.

    Having said that, the guards are timid.

    After Lu Tianxiang yelled, the team members under his command really?The female officer of the Royal Horse Supervisor, who personally protects her safety, is not allowed to leave half a step after going out to sea.  "

    "Abiding by the order!" You Julian said, clasping her hands.

    Zhao Han looked at Lu Tianxiang again: "After going to sea, you only lead the army in name. When negotiating with foreign countries, the civilian officials are fully responsible. When fighting foreign countries, the generals are fully responsible."

    Lu Tianxiang was overjoyed immediately, got off his horse and knelt down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your permission!"

    "Go away and sit down properly." Zhao Han was still angry and didn't want to pay attention to this concubine.

    In fact, Zhao Han didn't resist that much, this was due to the special psychology of the traversers.  Sending a concubine to lead the army to the sea must be rich in history books, and it is estimated that various stories will be derived in future generations.  The reason for his reluctance is that he simply doesn't want to break the rules. What does it sound like if the harem goes out to show off?

    After repeated weighing, Zhao Han still made a decision, fuck the rules, Lao Tzu is the founding emperor.

    Twenty female imperial guards are watching closely, can Lu Tianxiang still steal men?

    The polo match was still going on, Tian Xiuying sat next to Lu Tianxiang, and said in a low voice: "Sister is so courageous, aren't you afraid of being thrown into limbo by Your Majesty?"

    Lu Tianxiang said: "I have learned a whole body of martial arts, and I always have to lead troops to display my skills. No matter how adventurous I am, I have to try it. Doesn't Your Majesty agree?"

    "That is, Your Majesty, which emperor would agree?" Tian Xiuying muttered a few words, actually quite envious in her heart.

    What Zhao Han thought in his heart was that he still had a few months to go to sea, so he could go to Lu Tianxiang's place to sleep more, and he wouldn't have to go if he got pregnant.

    But think about it carefully, two or three months before going to sea, and you can't sleep around, what if you find out you are pregnant after boarding the ship?  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 727 [Conquering Rakshasa Ghosts]

    ,

    The Nanjing side is busy going to sea, and the Northeast side has already dispatched troops.

    "Living Lu Bu" Wang Fuchen led a thousand cavalry, and three thousand Han Chinese and Haixi Jurchen civilian husbands, and headed northeast along the post road left by the Ming Dynasty.

    Although the post road has been in disrepair for a long time, it is not very difficult to walk, because there are often indigenous people.

    It's easier to walk when you reach the grassland.

    Arrive at Yidonghewei, that is, Changchun City, where there are Mongolian tribes, which belong to the fiefdom of the Mongolian leader Gumu.

    ?Gu Mu was named Fuguogong by the Qing Dynasty, and the ruling center was in Tongyu and Tongliao.

    His elder brother, Bumuba, was proclaimed the Duke of Zhen by the Qing Dynasty, and his ruling center was in the west of Harbin.

    After the decline of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, the two brothers began to obey others.

    Every time the Manchu Qing asked to send troops to help, the two brothers cried and complained that they were attacked by the Horqin tribe, and in turn asked the Manchu Qing to send troops to help fight Horqin.

    Changchun belongs to Gumu's fringe territory, which was separated from his son Habutu to rule a small tribe.

    Hearing that the Datong cavalry was coming, Habutu was very frightened, and he came to greet him in person while calling for vigilance.  After seeing Wang Fuchen, Natou bowed: "Gollos Mongolia Taiji Habutu, I pay my respects to the general of the Chinese Celestial Dynasty!"

    Wang Fuchen was very kind to others, even when he met the natives.  He took Habutu's hand and said: "I sent troops this time to go north to fight against Raksha ghosts. Those Raksha ghosts burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of crimes in the Heilongjiang and Songhua River valleys. The emperor was furious and ordered us to send troops to fight against them.  This trip passed by Guibu, I was really disturbed!

    It was the first time Habutu met such an amiable Han general.  Under the addition of military prestige, Habutu was a little flattered, and quickly said: "My lord general, you are serious. If there is something useful, just ask for it."

    "Then I won't refuse," Wang Fuchen asked, not treating himself as an outsider, "Does your ministry have ships? I bring food and grass, and I will be escorted by livestock and civilian husbands. There will be rivers along the way, and ships will be even better."  Convenient for marching."

    Habutu apologized: "I'm afraid it won't help. There are grasslands nearby. We usually ride horses. We really don't have the habit of taking a boat."

    Wang Fuchen asked again: "What about the food? There is a lot of consumption on the march, and it must be replenished along the way. I don't want to take the food from your department for nothing. I have a military ticket here.

    Your Ministry can exchange for supplies by taking the military ticket and going to Anlezhou (between Tieling and Siping).  Iron pots, table salt, tea leaves, and cotton cloth can all be exchanged for military tickets.  "

    "Really?" Habutu's eyes lit up.

    Wang Fuchen said: "Why did you lie to you? I also brought some silver. If you don't trust the military ticket, I will buy food for you directly with silver."

    "I can trust it, I can trust it, I will go to raise food right away." Habutu was afraid of angering the Datong Army.

    This guy used to fight with the Qing Dynasty, and suffered a lot from the Datong Army, and he was already frightened out of his courage.

    What's more, in the past, when the Manchus came to Guoerluosi's department, they didn't discuss whether they wanted soldiers or food.  At least Wang Fuchen is not arrogant, and while being amiable, he also said that food can be purchased with military tickets.

    Compared with the two, Habutu is more willing to be a dog for the Datong court.

    There is not much food to provide here. Habutu brought a lot of dairy products, collected some dried bacon, and provided more than a hundred livestock.  The livestock are all alive, they can be driven along the way, and they can be killed and eaten at any time.

    After repeated consideration, Habutu took the initiative to say: "Master General, Guo Erluosi's department has surrendered to His Majesty the Emperor. Since the Emperor ordered to send troops,

    Then my department should also serve.  It's just that this is not the headquarters, but a small tribe that was separated.  Our troops are limited, we can send twenty warriors,

    Follow the general to fight Rakshasa ghosts.  "

    "Very well, I will report to the imperial court and make a credit for you." Wang Fuchen was very happy. Although he was not short of the two Mongolian soldiers, his willingness to send troops was equivalent to showing a correct attitude.

    This guy not only sent 20 troops, but also asked his eldest son Hassar to accompany the army.

    Hassar was only seventeen years old, a short and stocky boy, wearing leather armor, with a waist knife, bow and arrow.  The twenty cavalrymen under his command were even more crudely equipped, at first glance they looked like ordinary herdsmen.

    No way, just a small tribe.

    Before helping the Manchus to fight the war, the young and strong tribes suffered heavy losses.  He suffered from frequent snowstorms and was bullied by the Horqin tribe, and his life became worse every year.

    Although many clansmen died at the hands of the Datong Army, Hasar has no resentment.  He looked enviously at the Datong cavalry equipment, knelt down in front of Wang Fuchen, and said excitedly: "I am willing to serve the general. I will cut off the head of whoever the general says to kill!"

    "QuicklyThere is no need to bring much food, let the Mongols and Jurchens along the way give food.  How much food was taken, how much military tickets were given to them, and they were asked to take the military tickets to Liaoning to exchange goods.  If any tribe refuses to send out food, they will say that I will lead troops to borrow food at any time!  "

    There is almost not enough food and grass to support so many peasants.  The various tribes here were ransacked by Raksha ghosts, and it was difficult to provide enough food, so they had to throw the extra folks back home.

    Fortunately, the natives along the river are used to taking boats, so many boats can be recruited here, and the grain can be shipped and transported.

    A few days later, Wang Fuchen took 1,000 cavalry, 1,500 civilian husbands, and more than 10 Mongolian soldiers along the Heilongjiang River towards the Xing'an Mountains.  The nearby indigenous tribes sent warriors to follow them. They had a blood feud with the Cossacks, and they brought their own dry food to fight with the Datong cavalry.

    Not to mention the destruction of the Cossacks, as long as the Cossacks are beaten so hard that they dare not come, the tribes in the lower reaches of the Heilongjiang and Songhua Rivers will sincerely support the Datong court from then on.

    Just continue northward for dozens of miles, and Wang Fuchen will be lucky.

    The Cossack bandits who were full last year came to rob again this year, and are currently robbing the Sakhalian natives along the Heilongjiang River.

 Text 728 [Cossack Bandit]

    The names of various tribes in the Northeast are often named after rivers.

    ? Sahalian Department, free translation is Heilongjiang Department, Sahalian Ula is Heilongjiang.  It generally refers to the indigenous tribes living in the vast area on the north bank of the middle reaches of Heilongjiang, which are subdivided into many small tribes.

    The south bank of the Heilongjiang River is the Greater Khingan Mountains and the Lesser Khingan Mountains. The environment is difficult, the population is small, and the living conditions are relatively primitive.

    The north bank of Heilongjiang, which is the territory of the Sahalian people, is relatively more advanced and richer.

    A lot of arable land has been reclaimed along the river, and the crops grown include barley, oats, buckwheat, millet, peas and so on.  But farming alone can’t get enough to eat,

    Therefore, they also fished and hunted at the same time, belonging to a half-fishing and half-farming society.

    When Wang Fuchen came here, he soon found traces of war.

    It was autumn at this time, crops such as barley had just matured, and animals such as sables were also growing fat.  When the Cossack robbers choose a good time, they can not only grab new food, but also grab freshly peeled skins.

    Even for the sake of standing up, in order to weaken the natives, the food that could not be taken away was directly burned.

    In front of Wang Fuchen's eyes, large tracts of wheat fields were scorched black by Cossacks.

    The chief of the local tribe knelt on the shore with his tribe. After Wang Fuchen disembarked, he immediately cried and cried: "General, help me, give me some food!"

    Wang Fuchen, who himself didn't have enough food, sneered suddenly: "When you helped the Tartars fight and slaughtered the Han people, why didn't you think of distributing food to the Han people? Now I'm here to help you expel the Raksha ghosts. It's not enough to ask you for food."  It’s alright, do you still want me to share the food with you?”

    After hearing the translation, the indigenous chief quickly defended: "Master General, we did not fight for the Tartars, we have been bullied by the Tartars all the time!"

    It's not clear about this.

    Jianzhou Jurchen is purely an expansion of force. Donghai Jurchen, Haixi Jurchen, and Beishan Jurchen are all targets of conquest by the Jianzhou Tartars.  It is nothing more than siege the city, kill the leader, plunder the population, and set up the Eight Banners.

    In the early days, those who helped the Tartars in the war were all aboriginals who were taken away, and they were promoted step by step from slaves.  In the mid-term, a large number of aboriginals in the Heilongjiang River Basin were forcibly relocated to Liaoning, organized into the Eight Banners, engaged in production and farming, and fought in wartime.

    As for the aborigines who have not moved away, they have to pay tribute to the Tartars with pearls and fur every year.  Even if you are honest and obedient, the Tartars may continue to attack and plunder the population to supplement the Eight Banners Army.

    These aborigines definitely belong to the oppressed.

    But some of them did join the Eight Banners Army.

    Only this Sakhalian tribe has many titles in history "Drafts of Qing History".  For example, Er Yitu died in Changsha.  Duo Luodai, died in battle in Bazhou,

    His son Sarai died in Dongting Lake.  Roll cloth, and died in Luancheng.  Ayantu, died in Nanpi.  Narmadai died in Xiamen.

    In this time and space, the Eight Banners officers were beheaded by the Datong Army, at least hundreds of people from the Sakhalian Department.  They fought extremely bravely, or they were not smart enough to use their brains. When the tartar gave an order, the Sahalian soldiers rushed forward without fear of life and death.

    Just because too many people were plundered by the Tartars, and the death rate after enlisting in the army was extremely high, the population along the coast of Heilongjiang was empty.

    Otherwise, how would hundreds of Cossack bandits dare to come to Heilongjiang to show off their might?

    Wang Fuchen glanced over and found that most of the people kneeling in front of him were old and weak women and children.  There are also some young and strong, which were left on purpose by the Tartars to let them collect pearls and hunt for fur.

    Should I hate them?

    Or should we pity them?

    Wang Fuchen was too lazy to settle old accounts, and asked, "When did the Raksha ghost leave? Where did he go?"

    The native chief replied: "The Raksha ghosts have been walking for six days. They are divided into two groups. One group goes back upstream by boat, carrying the plundered fur and food. The other group goes north on horseback and goes into the forest.  I'm afraid I'm going to rob the tribes in the forest."

    "How many people do they have? How many boats? How many horses?" Wang Fuchen asked.

    The indigenous chief said: "The boats of the Rakshasa ghosts are all very big boats, more than the sum of two hands and feet. The Rakshasa ghosts don't have many horses, just a little more than the two hands. They come quickly.  , went too fast, and we didn't have time to call up warriors to resist."

    Wang Fuchen said: "I'm asking you, how many Rakshasa ghosts are there?"

    "Countless, many, many." The indigenous chief replied.

    Wang Fuchen was so depressed that he called a hundred soldiers, lined up neatly, and asked, "Are there so many?"

    The native chief said: "More."

    Wang Fuchen ordered three hundred soldiers to line up again, and asked, "Are there so many?"

    &nAt first, there were only 138 men under the husband, several ships, three artillery pieces, all with muskets.

    When he occupied Yaksa and owned the base, more Cossacks soon joined in.  At present, the manpower has expanded to 257 people, and the furs have been exchanged for war horses. Those horses were snatched from the Buryat Mongols by the Cossacks further north.

    Patting the woman's buttocks, and pushing the woman away, Khabarov said to the indigenous boy next to him, "Use what is rewarded to you. As long as you are loyal to me, your benefits will be indispensable."

    The indigenous boy quickly lay down on the ground, kowtowed to thank for the gift, and then dragged the woman out to vent his desire.

    An indigenous boy from the Aola clan of the Daur tribe.  It has been conquered by the Cossacks, and all those who resisted fiercely were killed, and those who survived were given to the Cossacks to farm and hunt.  There are also some timid and weak ones who are taken in as slaves by the Cossacks and become loyal lackeys of the robbers.

    Gasps were heard from the next door. The indigenous boy did not dare to resist the robbers, and vented all his anger on the innocent woman.

    When Khabarov heard the voice, a smile appeared on his face.  This kind of woman snatched halfway is purely a consumable, and I'm tired of playing with it for a few days.  Give rewards to slaves to gain loyalty.  It's like domesticating a hound, and you have to feed the hound meat.

    Khabarov walked to the edge of Jiangxinzhou with his firecracker on his back, overlooking the vast swamps and forests on the other side.

    He divided his forces into two groups and went into the forest to plunder the natives.  One has come back now, and the other has been missing for a long time, otherwise he would have returned to Yaksa with the spoils.

    This kind of situation is not uncommon, and most of them are lost.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 729 [Burning, Killing and Looting]

    (); The Cossack cavalry who did not come back on time, of course, was bitten by the Datong cavalry!

    A few days ago, in the northern forest of the middle reaches of Heilongjiang.

    There is a small tribe here that mainly focuses on fishing and hunting. Yegor led more than a dozen Cossacks, and under the guidance of a local guide, he quickly raided the villages of the indigenous tribes.

    It is said to be a village, but in fact it is just a wooden fence around the settlement to guard against wild animals.

    These Cossacks on horseback are not qualified to be called cavalry.

    For example, Yegor, who led the team, was just a runaway serf from Tsarist Russia.  He came to Siberia with the expedition team, and first mixed with Yakutsk (the name of this person, which later became a place name), but Yakutsk was not only cruel to the natives, but also cruel and harsh to his own people.

    A few years ago, news came from farther southeast that there was a big river called Amur (Heilongjiang).  In the lower reaches of the river, it is extremely rich and prosperous, not only has a large population, but also is rich in sable fur, and gold and silver mines have been discovered.

    The Cossacks who drank the wind and snow on the shore of Lake Baikal were suddenly stimulated to scream.

    They couldn't beat the Buryat Mongols head-on, and couldn't cross their territory to the south, so they continued to open up eastward and reached the Pacific coast.  Then, heading south, someone finally saw Heilongjiang.

    Khabarov was one of the best. He not only snatched many livestock and women, but also brought back 450 pieces of sable fur at one time.

    The Cossack bandits are making a splash!

    But the Daur natives were not vegetarians either. When the Cossacks invaded again, the Daurs rose up to resist, and the Cossack bandits were beaten and fled in embarrassment.  Khabarov went back to bring reinforcements and artillery, easily defeated one tribe, and conquered another tribe.

    Hearing that Khabarov had his own fortress, Yegor was very envious.

    Taking advantage of Khabarov's return to trade furs, Yegor and several Cossacks stole Yakutsk's Mongolian horses, and the team that caught up with Khabarov decisively took refuge.

    A Tsarist serf who ran away from Tsarist Russia became a small Cossack leader in this way.

    His riding skills are not good, and he doesn't know how to ride a horse and shoot arrows.  Even to fire a musket, you have to get off your horse and stand up first, and reloading ammunition has to be done on the ground.

    This kind of goods, placed in northern China, should be called horse bandits.

    "ah!"

    A Saharian native man, whose palm was pierced by the point of a gun, rolled on the ground screaming.

    Yegor said to his Daur servants: "Tell them, five furs, for one person. If you want to redeem your family, come here quickly!"

    Although the Daur people and the Sahalian people have different languages, they can barely communicate with each other.

    The servants of Daur quickly conveyed the news, and the Saharian people wept bitterly.

    The more the native prisoners cried, the happier Yegor laughed. He pointed to a prisoner and said, "Kill him and cut off his head. This man,

    Injured two of my men!  "

    The Cossack robber raised his spear and stabbed the prisoner in the stomach.

    Several holes were poked out in a row, and the native captives hadn't died yet.  The Cossack bandits drew their knives against his neck, grabbed his hair and cut it bit by bit, cutting off the captive's head alive.

    The rest of the prisoners were too frightened to cry.

    Yegor said: "Put a few back to report."

    There are very few Cossack bandits. They are not warriors. They can sneak attack if they can, and escape if they can escape.  Unless it is absolutely necessary, he will never fight head-on.

    This looting was the same, more than a dozen Cossack riders raided a village of more than 300 people.

    They attacked by night, set fire to the house with torches, and fired guns everywhere to create chaos, and the natives scattered and fled.  Then, capture the captives immediately, take the captives and flee every day, and exchange these captives for furs.

    Why not just rob the fur?

    Because when the aborigines fled, in addition to the weapons, they subconsciously took away the fur.  Especially the sable fur, which can be exchanged for food, and it is not heavy, so you must take it with you when you run away.

    At this moment, several captives were released and were responsible for delivering news to the stockade.

    "Let's go too!"

    Yegor didn't stop, and took the rest of the captives deeper into the forest to avoid being attacked by the soldiers.

    Of course, two riders remained, leaving marks along the way.  If the aborigines bring furs to replace people, follow the signs to exchange meat tickets.

    If there are many indigenous people, the two riders will run away immediately, meet along the marks and tear up the tickets.

    In the aboriginal village, the clouds are gloomy.

    They do have fur in their hands, and they used to pay tribute to the Manchus.?When they are firing their guns, they should seize the opportunity to rush up and fight.  "

    "good!"

    The boy immediately understood what to do, and called the tribe to retreat and gather.

    The Cossack bandits, after dragging down several wooden fences, rushed into the village on horseback.

    He got off his horse and stood up from a distance, shooting at the villagers.  According to past experience, as long as a few shots are fired, the natives will run away in fright.

    But the aborigines here did not disperse, not because of their high morale, but because the long-distance shooting was not accurate enough, and none of the aboriginal villagers were even injured.

    The natives who have seen the Tartar firearms will not be intimidated by a mess of guns.

    In desperation, Yegor ordered to reload, and rode forward to shoot further.

    "Each find a house to hide!" The boy shouted.

    The native villagers were in a panic, looking for houses as shelters, and the Cossack robbers could only continue to approach.

    Whoosh!

    A burst of sparse arrows came.

    More than a dozen Cossack riders were originally in a loose formation.  Because the natives lacked iron, these hunting bows were not very powerful, as long as they protected the vital points, it didn't matter if they were shot by the leather armor.

    The robbers simply gave up their horses and switched to fighting on foot. They quickly circled around a house and shot.

    The young man was overjoyed when he saw this, and roared: "The robbers have dismounted, their firearms are useless, hurry up and kill the robbers with me!"

    However, the group of natives who were shot had been beaten to pieces.

    A volley of musket fire actually only hit eight people, and the rest of them could beat up these Cossack robbers as long as they rushed over.  But the local aborigines,

    Having been broken by Man Qing, he lost his original blood courage long ago.

    In other words, the young and strong who could fight were all captured by the Manchu Qing to serve as soldiers.

    Only eight people were killed or injured, and more than 30 people nearby collapsed immediately.  As soon as they fled, the natives hiding behind other houses also followed suit.

    "Chasing and killing!"

    Yegor shouted excitedly, ran back and got on his horse.

    More than a dozen Cossack robbers chased after them on horseback.  They held up their spears, and they could overthrow one with one spear. Nearly three hundred natives were chased like a flock of sheep.

    The boy was so angry that his veins twitched violently, and he decided to fight the robber with all his might.

    He hid behind a house and aimed his bow at a robber's throat.  While drawing the bow, he suddenly heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

    Yegor also heard the sound of horseshoes, which could only be heard by hundreds of cavalry.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 730【Swatting a fly】

    ,

    Yegor's face changed drastically, and he shouted in panic: "Run!"

    Throughout Siberia, the number of Cossacks is definitely more than a few hundred.  Seventy years ago, the first batch of Cossacks to enter Siberia numbered more than 840 people.

    Those who couldn't get along in Tsarist Russia, Poland, and Lithuania came to explore the East one after another.  Over the past few decades, even if the number of people was less than ten thousand, there were at least several thousand, but many died of freezing, starvation, or beating to death.

    But here is the Heilongjiang River Basin, and there are only two or three hundred Cossacks (including the servants).

    Moreover, they use ships as their means of transportation.  Even if they made a fortune in the past two years, they only got more than 30 Mongolian horses, so the cavalry outside the village must be the enemy.

    Without Yegor's reminder, the rest of the Cossack bandits had already rushed out of the village obliquely forward.

    Cossacks are not fighters, they are robbers.

    Since he is a robber, he must focus on saving his life.  Not to mention encountering a large group of cavalry, even if encountering hundreds of elite natives, these guys will run as fast as they can.

    "Outflank!

    Luo Yanggui, who came here with troops, divided up before entering the village.

    Three hundred Datong cavalry were quickly divided into three teams.  One team circled to the east of the village, the other team circled to the west of the village, and the other team led by Luo Yanggui rushed straight into the village.

    In a blink of an eye, the Datong cavalry rushed past the boy.

    In the eyes of the indigenous teenagers, these cavalry seemed like divine soldiers descended from heaven.  Their war horses are so tall and mighty.  Their leather armor is so exquisite and strong.  Even these heavenly soldiers, everyone wore leather boots on their feet.

    "There are enemies coming from the left!" A Cossack yelled in panic.

    "On the right too!" shouted another Cossack.

    Yegor was about to pee in fright, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Rush over at full speed, don't be surrounded!"

    They can't run away.

    The dragoons under the various divisions, and perhaps some of them rode bad horses.  But as the first cavalry division, all the war horses were carefully selected, either the hybrid offspring of Indian horses, or the best horses among Mongolian horses.

    But the horses of the Cossack bandits were obtained from the Buryat Mongols.  There are gains from robbery, and there are also transactions to buy, whether it is good or bad depends entirely on luck.

    When both sides are running at full speed, it is obvious that the horses of the Datong cavalry are faster.

    "Breakout to the right!"

    "Woooooooooooooo!"

    Yegor took out a horn, jerked the reins and began to turn.  He didn't dare to charge forward, because the Datong cavalry had already outflanked them, so he could only run in a panic to the forest to the east.

    More than a dozen Cossack robbers reined in their horses and changed directions one after another.

    There was a Cossack, whose horse couldn't keep its hooves due to the hasty turn, and lost its balance directly, and fell to the ground with man and horse.  The guy struggled to get up, and before he got on his horse, Luo Yanggui had already caught up with him and sent him flying two or three meters away with a single shot.

    Seeing the Datong cavalry approaching from the right, Yegor subconsciously raised his arquebus.  Suddenly remembered that the gun had already been fired and hadn't had time to reload.

    Yegor swung his whip violently, and the horse under his crotch picked up speed again.

    His Mongolian horse was stolen from the Cossack leader when he took refuge in Khabarov.  Although it can't be called a BMW, it is still a good horse, which has reached the average level of the cavalry division.

    If you look down from above, you can see Yegor taking the lead and running away.  His subordinates were quickly thrown out of more than ten positions.  On the left side, the Datong cavalry came back, and the Datong cavalry pursued behind them.

    Luo Yanggui rode his horse and galloped while bending his bow and nodding his arrows.

    Whoosh!

    An arrow hit the Cossack robber in the back, and the arrow pierced the leather armor.  But the power of the horse bow was not great, the enemy was wounded and survived, and the arrows dangled on his back, and he continued to escape.

    Whoosh!

    Bang bang bang!

    Bows, arrows and bullets rained down on the Cossack robbers.

    There are three types of cavalry in the Datong Cavalry Division.

    One is the cavalry, which can shoot arrows from a long distance, fight in close combat, and even carry hand crossbows and round shields.

    One is the Resolute Cavalry, which can organize wall charges and shoot arrows from a long distance. The traditional melee fighting ability is weak.

    One is the dragoons, which mainly use firecrackers to fight.

    Among the 300 people Luo Yanggui brought, fifty of them were dragoons, and the rest were all Xiao cavalry.  This time it was an expedition, and the cavalry took off their iron armor and came here wearing only leather armor.

    When Yegor heard the gunshots, he subconsciously lay down on the horse, turned his head back to check the situation, and was immediately frightened out of his wits.

    &nbspMore than a dozen Daur natives still foolishly stayed where they were, guarding the livestock, food, women and furs that the Cossack robbers had plundered.  Seeing that there were so many Datong cavalrymen, and all of them were riding horses, they did not choose to escape, so they immediately knelt down and begged for surrender.

    ? As if under pressure, Luo Yanggui obtained more information about the military.

    It turns out that Khabarov's main force is not everyone with arquebus.  There are only more than 2 Cossack musketeers, and there are Cossacks who use cold weapons

    There were more than 100 people, and the rest were all Siberian indigenous hunters.

    These indigenous hunters come from different tribes, including the aborigines in the north of Lake Baikal, and Mongolian herders who were captured by the Cossacks.  These people are all equipped with hunting bows, some with knives and some without knives. When facing the Datong cavalry, their combat effectiveness is negligible.

    Luo Yanggui muttered: "It's really a group of robbers. There are only two or three hundred such weak robbers, and they can run rampant on both sides of the Heilongjiang River. Can the local aborigines have no eggs?"

    It's not that there are no eggs, but those who have eggs are either killed by the Tartars, or captured by the Tartars as soldiers and died in battle.

    Moreover, the Cossacks own big ships, and they come and go like the wind in Heilongjiang.  If several indigenous tribes unite and appear with thousands of troops, the Cossacks will immediately flee by boat and go to another place to rob.

    ,

    Jiang Xinzhou.

    Erle knelt in front of Khabarov, burying his head in the lines he had memorized.

    He was the smartest in the tribe, and his parents were killed by the Raksha ghost, so he was selected by Wang Fuchen as a dead man.  As long as the task is successfully completed, he will be rewarded with food.  Even if he died, he would give food to his younger brother.

    After listening to the Daurian's translation, Khabarov became excited: "You mean, there is a Chinese caravan with gold and silver,

    Go to your tribe to buy furs?  "

    "Yes." Erle nodded.

    Khabarov asked: "Are the Han tribes powerful and rich? Where is their territory?"

    Erle was confused by the question.

    The Daur boy who was Khabarov's dog suddenly said: "Master, I heard from the shaman in the tribe that the Han people live in a warm place far to the south. There is no ice or snow all year round, and the land is so fertile that it can flow  Honey. The Han people have a great leader (emperor) who lives in a very large house. There is too much food to eat, and so much livestock to eat.”

    Live in a warmer part of the South?  There is a big leader who lives in a big house, and there is so much food that he can't finish it?  So fertile as to flow honey?

    Khabarov thought for a long time, and asked: "You mean Khitan (China)? Han people are Khitan people?"

    Now it was the turn of the Daur juvenile delinquent, and said weakly: "I have never heard of Khitan, I only know that the Han people are very rich."

    After thinking about it, Khabarov felt that it could not be Khitan (China).

    In fact, among the Cossack community, although there are stories about China, no one knows where China is.

    Khabarov asked: "How many people are there in the Han caravan?"

    Erle replied: "There are many, many people, more than two hands and two feet. They come by boat, which is as big as your boat. In addition to gold and silver, they also bring a lot of cotton cloth, and a piece of leather is very good.  A large piece of cotton cloth. They also brought wine. According to the patriarch, drinking that kind of wine cuts the throat like a knife, and warms the whole body in the coldest winter."

    "Is there still wine?" Khabarov couldn't help swallowing.

    Erle said: "There is wine."

    Khabarov stared at Erle and asked, "Why did you report?"

    Erle replied: "I want to join you and grab a lot of food, a lot of women, and a lot of furs. In this way, I won't starve or freeze to death, and I can give birth to many sons."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Khabarov laughed out loud, completely dispelling his doubts.

    Half of the robbers under his command are natives.  There are more than one or two natives who have actively requested to join the group.

    Khabarov asked again: "Has there been a Han Chinese caravan before?"

    Erle said: "No. I heard that the Han people used to fight against the Jurchens, and they defeated the Jurchens in the past few years, so they came here to do business."

    "Jurchen?" The Daur boy turned pale with shock.

    Khabarov asked: "What's the matter?"

    The Daur boy said: "The Jurchens are very powerful. They used to come to attack the Daur tribe often, and even organized us into the Eight Banners."

    "Eight Banners?" Khabarov didn't understand.

    The Daur boy explained: "Many tribes are compiled into one banner, and each banner has a sacrificing wing leader. The fur hunted by the tribe must be handed over to the patriarch, and the patriarch will give it to the sacrificing wing leader.  The leaders of the big tribes are those who can be the wing chiefs. The Jurchens will also come to recruit soldiers, and the tribesmen of each banner are bannermen. If the Jurchens don’t hand over enough tribesmen to serve as soldiers when the Jurchens enlist, the Jurchens  The real person will personally lead soldiers to arrest people.

    Khabarov immediately understood that Jurchen was a large tribe and had conquered the natives here.

    The so-called Dashou Wing Chief is the indigenous leader responsible for tax collection and conscription, which is equivalent to the indigenous lords in Europe.

    ? A large tribe that can entrust the aborigines as lords may have already established a country.

    Such a powerful Jurchen tribe, or the Jurchen country, was actually defeated by the Han people.  Then the Han people are also a big tribe, or they are simply a Han country.

    Whether it is a tribe or a country, it must be richer than these scholars!

    In the eyes of these Cossack robbers, both sides of the Heilongjiang River already belonged to the land of prosperity.

    Khabarov's predecessors took the lead in exploring the Daur area (Wai Xing'an Mountains) after hearing the wealth legend of Amur (Heilongjiang).

    Today, a richer place than Amur has emerged, which is very, very ??Cut off from the water.

    When the Tartars first conquered the Heilongjiang River Basin, they used canoes, all of which were contributed by the affiliated indigenous tribes.

    "How dare you lie to me!" Khabarov was furious.

    Er Le had already slipped away and ran towards the river, wanting to jump into the river to survive.

    "Shhhhhhh!"

    A shower of arrows came, but it was the native hunters who were shooting.

    The dead man who led the enemy into the encirclement was instantly shot into a hedgehog and fell to the ground unwillingly.

    "Hurry back to the boat!"

    After Khabarov gave an order, the two robbers left.  I don't care about the formation, and I scramble to escape to the river, as long as I get on the boat, I will be safe.

    The Cossack gunners on board also quickly filled the shells to cover the retreat of their main force.

    Less than three miles away, 700 Datong cavalry arrived in no time, and the civilian men who followed the army hidden in the stockade also rushed out.

    "Boom boom boom!

    Three cannons were fired, and one of the Datong cavalry who was charging was hit in the chest, and the hooves of three horses were hit by the rolling shells.

    The Cossack bandits scrambled to board the boat, and the native hunters huddled together to push and fuck each other.

    Seeing that there was no solution, Khabarov quickly said: "Turn around and line up, turn around and line up!"

    This guy's opponents are extremely cruel, and those who are disobedient at ordinary times are all hanged to show the public.  When the order was issued at this moment, many native hunters turned around to face the enemy in fear of death.

    Taking advantage of this opportunity, Khabarov decisively brought people on board, treating the native hunters as cannon fodder.

    Those more than twenty Cossack musketeers are Khabarov's favorite, and the rest of his men can be sold at any time.

    Hundreds of heavily armed cavalry rushed in, and Khabarov would only fight when his mind was flooded.  A cavalry unit of this size and equipment could already serve as the main force of a small country in Europe, and he knew that he had hit the iron plate this time.

    More than 60 indigenous hunters with poor brains shot arrows at the Datong cavalry in a panic.

    Some arrowheads, even bone and stone, were exchanged for hundreds of iron arrowheads in an instant.  When the rain of arrows fell, the native hunters suddenly collapsed, and those who survived turned around and fled, fighting for boarding planks with those Cossack masters.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The dragoons also fired, hitting the crowd at close range, and some enemies fell into the river from time to time.

 Text 732 [Water and land containment]

    (); The Cossack inland watercraft looks a bit like a Viking ship, but its structure is simpler than that of a Viking ship.

    First use wicker or other rattan to weave and tie into the whole bottom of the boat, and then use wooden planks as the lining.  There is a rudder on the left and right sides of the stern, more than a dozen oars on each side, and rough logs are used as masts, equipped with horizontal sails or double sails.

    There is no deck or anything, it needs to be bundled with reed poles and spread on the surface of the board lining for the crew to walk on.

    Don't look at this kind of boat as simple and shabby, but the rowing speed is extremely fast.

    The Cossacks were able to drive such ships and even cross the Black Sea, or advance along the coast, plundering Ottoman and its subsidiary ports.  They often raid at night, taking advantage of the Ottoman navy's inattention, burning the ships in the port and fleeing every day.  When encountering the Ottoman navy, they immediately rowed and fled into the inland river, and the large Ottoman warships could only watch stupidly.

    Khabarov's fleet has nearly 30 ships, and if they are all full, they can hold more than a thousand people.

    There are only more than two hundred Cossacks, and with so many ships, they are mainly loaded with spoils.  At this very moment, there is a lot of food, goods and women on board.

    Three of them are larger, each equipped with a cannon.

    More than a dozen Cossack cavalry were the first to flee back to the ship, leading their horses.  Immediately afterwards, Khabarov and the musketeers boarded the ship in a panic.

    By the time the Cossacks with cold weapons boarded the ship, Khabarov had already ordered to shoot.

    More than 20 Cossack musketeers and more than a dozen Cossack cavalry squatted on the boat and shot at the Datong cavalry rushing.

    Although these guys like to sneak attack and escape, they are definitely wolves, and they dare to fight hard.  Decades ago, more than 400 Cossacks held back more than 10,000 Ottoman troops for two days.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Following the sound of Cossack gunshots, six Datong cavalrymen fell off their horses one after another.

    But the damage they can cause is limited to this.

    The Datong cavalry had already rushed to the shore, killing the indigenous hunters who were too late to board the boat.  There are also some Datong cavalry, throwing arrows at the Cossack ships.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The three Cossack artillery fired the second round of shells at this time.

    While several Datong cavalrymen were hit, the three Cossack ships were shaken back by the power of the artillery.  A dozen Cossacks embarking,

    Immediately, it fell into the water together with the board.

    "Blow the horn and retreat!"

    Seeing that everyone who could board the boat had boarded, Khabarov ordered to evacuate.

    Some Cossack bandits immediately put down their weapons, sat on both sides of the boat and paddled.  The only musketeers were slowly filling their ammunition, ready to continue shooting at the Datong cavalry.

    The Cossack ships rowed fast, and the Datong cavalry could only pursue along the river bank.

    Khabarov was so angry that his heart was bleeding. He had a total of 28 ships, each of which was loaded with spoils. At the moment, 11 ships could not be taken away, and they were quietly docked by the Heilongjiang River.  The Cossack musketeers lost 1 person; the Cossack warriors lost 15 people; the native hunters lost more than half, and only a few dozen people escaped back to the ship.

    The real war of encirclement and annihilation has just begun!

    Hundreds of local aborigines, carrying canoes, have rushed from the upstream forest into the river.

    "Rush over!"

    Khabarov ordered.

    Although the Cossack boat ran fast, its hull was very fragile, and even the canoe dared not hit it casually under the high-speed paddle.

    This section of the river is relatively narrow and the current is not turbulent.

    The sediment brought down by the Heilongjiang River has washed out large and small islands.  Some large continents and islands even stretch for four or five miles, dividing the river course of Heilongjiang into two or three streams.

    The water network situation is extremely complicated!

    The Cossack bandits rowed with all their strength, musketeers and archers shot at the natives in the canoe.

    ?Because of the backing of the Datong Army, the natives became brave.  They rowed their canoes and rushed towards the Cossack fleet.  There are two people on each canoe, one is in charge of rowing and the other is in charge of archery.

    "Bang!"

    There were crashing sounds from time to time, and the Cossack ships did not fall apart. After all, their hulls were strong enough to hold small artillery for firing.

    The canoes of the local aborigines were overturned one after another.

    Just when Khabarov thought he had escaped, dozens of ships suddenly appeared behind the island in the northwest.  These ships were grain transport ships collected by Wang Fuchen from the tribes along the way during his march, and they were only slightly smaller than the Cossack ships.

    ?A raft full of dry firewood is tied to the left and right sides of each ship, and each raft has a local?? is the blood that was stabbed by the natives.

    These aborigines had little fighting power on the shore, but they seemed to have divine help in the water, and the Cossacks who fell into the water were only left to be beaten.

    Khabarov's "ship" had a tendency to fall apart, but it was still able to hold on, and was finally forced to dock by the river.

    There, Datong cavalry had been waiting for a long time.

    Facing countless bows, arrows and muskets, Khabarov raised his hands in surrender.

    There were more than 200 Cossack robbers in this group, and only 37 were captured alive.  Either he was beheaded by Datong cavalry when boarding the ship, or he was stabbed to death by diving natives after falling into the water.

    Khabarov was brought in front of Wang Fuchen, his knees softened and he knelt down. He knew that his judgment was completely wrong.

    Wang Fuchen took a group of peasants and stayed in the village disguised as businessmen.  He was afraid of being attacked by the natives, so he was already on board the cotton armor, and it was a special multi-layer cotton armor.  There is a patch in the middle of the cotton armor, and there is a layer of patch on the surface, which is not only very defensive, but also looks extremely deterrent.

    The helmet is also an improved type, not the bamboo helmet with patches embedded in the past.

    This kind of helmet has existed in the Song Dynasty. When not fighting, it can be retracted upwards, just like a worker's hard hat.  When fighting, it can be pulled down, and the wearer's neck is completely protected by the armor.

    The equipment of the Datong Army has been improving!

    On Wang Fuchen's feet was a pair of leather boots.  There are spurs installed on the heel of the leather boots, and the toe of the boots is also inlaid with iron plates.  In addition to the carbine and saber, Wang Fuchen also had a binoculars hanging from his waist.

    How can a tribe have such top-quality equipment?

    This person must be the great lord of a certain country!

    Khabarov, the murderous Cossack leader, has a natural admiration and fear of nobles in his heart.  He knelt on the ground and shivered, and said in a trembling voice, "Honorable and great lord, Khabarov is willing to serve you!"

    This is a sincere allegiance, definitely not a casual talk.

    Such gorgeous body equipment must be rich and powerful.  Khabarov is willing to follow such a lord and fight with his life for the lord.

    If he can grant himself a fief, he can even give his life.  Of course, the premise is that he has a wife and son, otherwise the title and fief cannot be passed on.

    But Wang Fuchen didn't know what he was thinking, and asked, "I heard from your subordinates that you are the leader of the Raksha ghosts?"&lt;/div&gt

 Text 733 [Khabarov opens his eyes wide]

    It was the Daur boy next to Khabarov who was in charge of the translation.

    The young man was sent to speak outside the village, and when Wang Fuchen rushed out with his husband, he immediately became the first prisoner of this battle.

    The Chinese spoken by Wang Fuchen was first translated into local dialect by the general officer of the army, and then the Daur boy guessed and spoke to Khabarov with great uncertainty.

    After two or three layers of translation, it reached Khabarov's ears and asked him "whether he is the great Cossack chief".

    Khabarov explained patiently: "Cossacks are not tribes, they are free people who are not ruled by lords. Every Cossack settlement will elect its own leader. The big leader is called Hetman, and the small leader is called Ataman. I am in  In Yakutsk, I was just a small leader. When I arrived in Yaksa, I became a big leader again.”

    Wang Fuchen asked: "Where is Yakutsk? Where is Yaksa?"

    Khabarov said: "Yakutsk is a castle built on the Lena River, far northeast of here. Yaksa is the village I built, just on the Amur (Heilongjiang) and Zeya River (Jingqi)  the confluence of the Lijiang River).”

    After the Daur boy translated, he suddenly looked up at Wang Fuchen, gritted his teeth and said, "It's not Yaksa, it's our village.

    He killed all the men in the village, and I survived because I was younger.  He distributed the living women and children among the robbers under his command.

    Our patriarch, Higinieyi, was also killed by these robbers.  The patriarch's wife, unwilling to submit to Khabarov, bit him and was strangled to death by him.  "

    Wang Fuchen glanced at Khabarov, and asked the boy, "What else did the Rakshasa ghost do?"

    The Daur boy said: "These bandits forced us to farm and hunt. They went to other tribes, captured many captives, and forced them to build a city wall for him. There was a chief of a big tribe named Guigudar. His  The village built a three-story wall, fought bravely, and killed four Rakshasa robbers. Khabarov was very angry. After breaking through the village, he killed more than 600 people on the spot and took away more than 300 women and children."

    Seeing that Wang Fuchen was silent, the Daur boy said again: "Two months ago, the bandits attacked Tolga City (Aihui City). They captured the leader Tolga, and also captured the nobleman Tulongqia."

    Torga is the lord of Aihui City, and also the Chief of the Winged Wings Canonized by the Tartars.

    Tu Longqia, a cousin was given marriage by Huang Taiji to be the concubine of the Qing Dynasty because of his bravery in battle.

    The Daur boy said: "Torga City (Aihui City) has been burned and killed by robbers. The leader Tolga and the nobleman Tulongcha, their daughters were all taken away, and their wives were killed because they were too old.  .”

    "Can you count?" Wang Fuchen finally spoke, but his focus was different.

    The Daur boy said: "I am also called Tulongcha, the eldest son of the shaman in the clan, just like that great nobleman."

    Cultural people among the aborigines!

    Wang Fuchen asked: "Yaksa, that is, your village, how far is it from Yakutsk?"

    Turuncha replied: "I don't know how far it is, but more than half of the grain we grow and the grain looted by the robbers will be transported to Yakutsk for sale. I heard that you can take a boat along the way.  It will be there in a month."

    Wang Fuchen asked again: "How many Rakshasa ghosts does Yaksa have?"

    Tu Longqia said: "There are more than twenty more."

    Wang Fuchen asked Khabarov again: "How many people are there in Yakutsk?"

    In order to survive, Khabarov immediately sold the Cossacks in Yakutsk: "The chief of Yakutsk is not a Cossack, but a down-and-out noble officer sent by the tsar. The chief of Yakutsk is named Peter Go  Lovin. The secretary of Yakutsk, named Vasily Poyarkov. They have the power to tax the Cossacks, so they are very annoying. The property I looted will be shipped to them. Live in  There are only more than two hundred Cossacks in Yakutsk, but there are five or six hundred indigenous people attached to them."

    Wang Fuchen continued to ask: "Aside from Yakutsk, where are there Rakshasa ghosts?"

    ? Khabarov said like a few treasures: "On the shore of Lake Baikal,

    There are two castles, Upper Angarask and Bargutimuhetun.  Further west, there are four castles of Ust-Kut, Upper Lusk, Osinsk and Bratsk.  Those places are all the territories of the Buryat Mongols.  "

    ? Wang Fuchen was confused, and asked the natives and the translators accompanying the army, and barely figured out what Buryatia was, which was the Buriyat tribe of northern Mongolia.

    As for Lake Baikal, after repeated inquiries and speculations, the missionary officer Zhong Kaidong suddenly interrupted: "Lake Baikal is probably the North Sea."

    "Beihai?" Wang Fuchen asked.??, the captives did not enter the city at all.

    After resting at the post station outside the city for one night, he was escorted and continued on the road, arriving in Shenyang in a few days.

    Seeing the city wall of Shenyang, Khabarov was inexplicably shocked.

    King, there must be a king in the city!

    It's a pity that I still didn't enter the city. I took a boat all the way down, and then came to the seaside. After waiting for a few days, I boarded a naval warship.

    What a majestic warship, Khabarov was fortunate to have seen Ottoman warships, and these warships were not lost to the Ottoman Navy at all.

    Khabarov was thrown into the cabin and imprisoned, unable to see what was going on outside.  He only felt that after stopping for a few days, the goods in the cabin were moved out, and some goods were moved in again.

    When he was escorted off the ship, he came to a huge seaport (Shanghai).

    Well so many people!

    Khabarov looked at the pier stupidly. The dense crowd made him fear for no reason.  Turning around, there are merchant ships everywhere in the port.

    Every boat means endless wealth.

    Then, he was stuffed into the cabin again and headed for Nanjing along the Yangtze River.

    Returning to the deck again, the moment he saw the city wall of Nanjing, Khabarov couldn't help but his legs went weak: Great Lord, where am I?

    All the way into the city, Khabarov saw many nobles.

    It was early winter at this time, and passers-by were all dressed thickly.  But some people's padded jackets are made of silk.  Some wore leather jackets, some wore sweaters, all in fashionable styles, and in Khabarov's view, they were all aristocrats.

    Finally, Khabarov realized that this must be the capital of the Khitan people!

 Text 734 [Policy Adjustments]

    (); was thrown into prison, and Khabarov was interrogated again.

    When I was in Heilongjiang, the military was interrogating, mainly asking about some military intelligence.  After arriving in Nanjing, it was the Criminal Department who was interrogating, mainly interrogating the evil deeds they committed separately.

    "Your Majesty," Xiao Huan, Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, sent the results of the interrogation, "This Khabarov killed more than a thousand people and looted more than four hundred people in the Heilongjiang and Songhua River areas alone.  Not counted. The victims are mainly Daur, Sakhalian and Huerha indigenous people. These tribes belong to the Jurchen in the north and the Jurchen in the East China Sea, and should be under the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang Dusi.  The ministries have not been officially canonized."

    To put it simply, the people killed by Khabarov temporarily belonged to the puppet people in name.  But the puppet Qing Dynasty has been destroyed, and they are afraid to come out in the Ninggu Tower. These people should automatically become the people of Datong, but the Heilongjiang Metropolis has not really been formed.

    In a word, the emperor can do whatever he says, and no matter how he disposes of it, it is reasonable and legal.

    Song Yingxing, chief assistant, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, after the establishment of the Heilongjiang capital, the front and rear banners of Guoerluosi should be changed to Guoerluosi's avant-garde and rearguard. The commander of Guoerluosi's rearguard, I feel that Bumba is too old.  It should be replaced by a young and promising Mongolian leader."

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "What Song Qing said is very true."

    Along with the Cossack captives, there were also two letters of complaint from the Northeast.

    One letter was written by Wang Fuchen, saying that he led troops through Bumba's territory, and that the old guy charged money for everything, and he only accepted money but not military tickets, and he even refused to send a few Mongolian cavalry to help in the battle.

    One letter was written by Li Zheng, saying that the post road from the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty to the grassland had been dredged (the route was very short), and that next year he could go to Harbin to establish the Heilongjiang capital office.  However, Harbin belongs to Bumba's territory, even if it is not the core area, this old guy is unwilling to give it up.

    Song Yingxing said it very euphemistically just now, but there was a bloody smell in the words, and he was convinced when he sent troops to kill him!

    Lu Xiangsheng clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, when the Puppet Qing Dynasty enshrined the Guoerluo tribe, they not only divided the Mongolian tribe into two, but also attached it to the Horqin Left Wing.  They often plunder the Guoerluosi Department, but they also regard the Guoerluosi Department as a subsidiary. Once we send troops to the Guoerluosi Rear Banner, we must consider the reaction of the Guoerluosi Front Banner, as well as the reaction of Horqin’s left-wing Mongolia.”

    Yuan Yunlong asked: "Lu Shangshu doesn't suggest sending troops?"

    Lu Xiangsheng shook his head and said: "Of course we must send troops, but we can't just use troops against Guoerluosi. After the snow melts in spring next year, all other troops in the Northeast will be dispatched except for the tribes stationed in Jianzhou. Choose an elite army and go straight to Guoerluosi.  The rear banner killed Bumba and set up another leader. The rest of the ministries, with envoys, threatened Horqin Left Wing and Guoerluosi Front Banner. While making these Mongolian tribes dare not interfere, they took the opportunity to canonize them too!"

    Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the map and said: "Everything is canonized according to the pseudo-Qing method, but the name needs to be changed. The Guoerluosi front banner is changed to Guoerluosi avant-garde. The Horqin left front, middle and rear banners are changed to the Horqin left front,  Central and rear guards. Zalaite Banner and Duerbert Banner are changed to Zalaite Guard and Durbert Guard. The commanders of each guard are all named Dukes of the state. Even some can be crowned kings. The higher the title, the more  It is difficult to annex each other. If there is a difference in title, they will attack each other."

    The entire Horqin Mongolia was forcibly divided into ten banners by the Qing Dynasty, collectively referred to as the "Ten Banners of Nenjiang".

    These ten flags are not of one mind.

    For example, the Guoerluo Department, which nominally belongs to the Horqin Department, has long been semi-independent.  Man Qing is also happy to see the results, the deeper the contradiction the better, so as not to unite and unanimously external.

    Zhao Han basically agreed with Lu Xiangsheng's suggestion. He drew a circle on the map and said, "From Anle Prefecture to the east of the Great Wall, to the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Government Office (Harbin), the grasslands along the way will be changed into areas directly under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Government. Anyone who doesn't want to, can fight  Say it again!"

    This is tantamount to placing Siping, Huaide, Changchun, Jilin, Dehui, Fuyu, Zhaoyuan, Harbin many Horqin Mongolian territories under the direct jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Government, and the Mongols living there are also directly ruled by the Metropolitan Government.

    In this way, the passage from Liaoning to Heilongjiang Dusi can be guaranteed, but it will inevitably arouse the resistance of the Horqin Mongolian tribe.

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, there are two types of direct control. One is managed by Han officials, and the other is managed by Mongolian officials. In the grasslands, it may be difficult for Han officials to control, for example, it is handed over to Mongolian officials. These are the ones drawn by Your Majesty.  In other places, you can select prestigious Mongols and give them official positions and titles. In this way, the entire southern tribe on the left wing of Horqin, those canonized leaders will stand on the side of the court for their own interests."

    &nbsp;Zhao Han clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful! Those southern Mongolian tribes will not only stand on the court's side, but will also be regarded as traitors by the northern tribes. From now on, they can only obey the orders of the Heilongjiang capital!"

    Chen Maosheng also spoke: "After the war is over next year and the chieftain and commander canonize. From the Mongols to the Jurchens, the leaders of various ministries must send their sons to Nanjing to study. Let them know the power of China, let them learn to speak Chinese,  Wearing Hanfu will influence the customs and culture of the Han family to all parts of the Northeast."

    Fei Chun said: "Tribes after enfeoffment can relax trade controls. Except for weapons that cannot be traded, food is allowed to be traded among the people. In the Ming Dynasty, mutual trade was banned at every turn, not only failed every time, but also aroused Mongolian rebellion.  "

    "After the liberalization of trade, in order to make profits, merchants will inevitably buy a large amount of grain and sell it to the grassland." Liu Ziren reminded.

    Fei Chun said with a smile: "As long as the inspectors don't rot, the merchants can sell the grain. If the inspectors are rotten, it is forbidden to transport grain to the north, which will make it more profitable for merchants to smuggle grain. Moreover, the entire Northeast is not  How much food is produced, the military rations have to be supplemented by purchasing from North Korea and Japan.”

    Zhao Han said: "The tribes that have already been confiscated can try to open up the grain trade, and if there is a problem, just tighten it up."

    Guo Shunyu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, there is another thorny issue. The immigrants organized this year are only willing to go to Jianzhou as far as they go. They will not go further north or east. Two months ago, a wave of immigrants almost made trouble.  When there was a disturbance, after walking a few miles to the east of Jianzhou City, they refused to go on the road again. The officials in charge of immigration could only discuss with General Hu (Hu Dinggui) to resettle the immigrants in the nearest Jianzhou territory."

    "This problem is indeed very difficult, and I am also thinking about a solution." Zhao Han felt very embarrassed.

    The main thing is that the people under Zhao Han's rule live a very good life.  In addition to encountering major family accidents and losing food and money in an instant,

    It is basically no longer starving to death, and I can barely survive eating sweet potatoes all day long.

    Since you can live in the south, why do you want to immigrate to a place of bitter cold?

    No matter how favorable the imperial court's immigration policy is, the western and southern parts of Jilin Province in later generations have reached the limit acceptable to immigrants.  Continue east and north, sorry, not to die!

    When there was a disturbance, instead of daring to suppress it, the immigration officials had to coax it.

    Because every immigrant shipped to the Northeast, the court spent a lot of money.  Brutal suppression is easy, and it will inevitably be blamed by the Ministry of Households afterwards, because it will hurt the achievements and money of the Ministry of Households.

    Zhao Han said: "From Anlezhou to Heilongjiang Dusi, there must be immigrants along the way to increase the number of Han people. In these places, the treatment of immigrants has been improved again. As long as they migrate there, they will not have to pay taxes for 20 years, and the land that each person can get is less.  Increase. As for other places that are too remote, they should not relocate good people, but relocate prisoners to force immigration. Those who have been imprisoned for more than five years, as long as they are willing to immigrate, not only can their crimes be pardoned, but they can also be settled immediately!

    Guo Shunyu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise!"

    The emperor set the tone, and the future immigration policy in the Northeast was established.

    For normal immigration, the farthest is only to Hetuala.

    In Harbin, Changchun and other places, the immigration policy is extremely favorable, and there is no need to pay taxes for 20 years.  The Han immigrants here will be the core of Heilongjiang's rule.

    Farther away, all criminal immigration is carried out.  Criminal immigration, not exile!  There is a huge difference between the two. The death rate in exile is extremely high, but criminal immigrants are properly resettled. Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for a large number of criminals when he emigrated in the Northeast. Almost all the postmen in remote post stations were criminals.

    These criminals are basically men. If they want to ask for a wife, they have to communicate with the aborigines and marry the local aboriginal women as wives.  As long as they are hardworking and willing to work, the natives are of course willing to marry a daughter, as long as they give more food as a dowry.

    In this way, it can also promote ethnic integration in the Northeast.

    The imperial court personally ended the policy of laboriously organizing immigration, and it would be fine for a few more years.

    Next, let them reproduce naturally. After two or three generations, when the population becomes dense, they will inevitably develop spontaneously.  After the reclamation of the nearby barren mountains and wasteland is completed, they will slowly move towards the "land of barbarians" and continue to integrate with the local ethnic minorities.

    I believe that after a hundred years, the influence of the Han people will at least reach the lower reaches of Heilongjiang.

    As for the middle and upper reaches of Heilongjiang, I am afraid that the chieftain will have to govern until the emergence of railways and trains.  Those places are too far away, and the backward traffic conditions do not allow it.

    The cabinet ministers resigned and planned in detail the dispatch of troops and immigration next year. The emperor did not need to worry about these details.

    Before leaving, Xiao Huan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, asked, "Please let Your Majesty know how to deal with the Raksha captives."

    "The crime is heinous, and all will be executed!"

    Having said that, Zhao Han added: "That Rakshasa leader Khabarov, bring him here, I want to see him in person."

    The Cossack leader was summoned, of course, to inquire about Russia.

    Many things, the people below didn't know what to ask, and Zhao Han couldn't explain clearly to the officials of the Ministry of Punishment.  &lt;/div&gt;??His Majesty made it clear.  "

 Text 735【The Divine Khitan Emperor】

    ,

    Remember in a second【】

    Although the Cossack robbers were heinous, the imperial court treated them very humanely, and even gave them all a meal of beheading.

    "Let's eat, eat this meal and go on the road."

    The head jailer walked in the aisle, and his subordinates stuffed the severed food into the cell.

    A jailer followed behind him and said: "Boss, I heard that these are all Rakshasa ghosts reincarnated. Wouldn't killing them send them back to their hometown in the Palace of Hell?"

    The head jailer also couldn't figure out the relationship between Rakshasa and Hades, so he said angrily, "They are the reincarnations of Rakshasa ghosts, and your Majesty is still Ziwei Xing. If you offend Your Majesty, no matter where he comes from, the gods and little ghosts should be beheaded.  It should be cut alive, even if the Tathagata Buddha interceded, it would be useless."

    The jailer laughed and said, "That's true. Your Majesty demolished many temples, and I don't know how many disciples and grandchildren of the Tathagata Buddha were ordered to return to vulgarity."

    In fact, as long as he holds a legal certificate, even if it is a certificate from the previous dynasty, the Datong New Dynasty also recognizes his status as a monk.  For this true monk,

    For true Taoists, not only will the government not force them to return to vulgarity, but they will also allow monks and Taoists to register and replace them with the legal certificate of the Datong New Dynasty.

    There must be room for manipulation in this, and it is inevitable that some officials will accept bribes to turn fake monks and Taoist priests into real ones.

    However, the overall situation is acceptable. In all provinces across the country, more than 80% of the fake monks are forced to return to vulgarity.  Not only will their excess land be taken back, some temples with suitable locations will also be directly converted into primary and secondary schools, and the monks and Taoists living in them will be transferred to other temples.

    The temple was changed to a school, presumably the Bodhisattva and Zhenjun are very happy.

    This religious policy has been unanimously approved by mainstream public opinion.  Although there are many scholars who believe in Buddhism and Taoism, there are even more scholars who support the suppression of Buddhism and Taoism.  If Confucianism is regarded as Confucianism, then the school is the missionary of Confucianism, and changing the temple concept to the school is naturally politically correct.

    On the contrary, the foolish men and women of the people criticized this practice, thinking that the emperor was disrespectful to the gods and Buddhas.

    "There's meat!"

    In the cell, the Cossack prisoners cheered.

    All countries in the world have a tradition of eating guillotine, including Tsarist Russia.  But these Cossacks are all untouchables, and they don't usually pay taxes. How could the lords treat them as human beings?  Don't eat the decapitated meal, I haven't even heard of such treatment.

    Even if you heard it, you wouldn't think it was a meal with a severed head.

    Because there is meat!

    Such a sumptuous meal,

    It must be that the Khitan emperor forgave himself and wanted to organize these Cossacks into an army.

    The Cossack prisoners ate even more deliciously at the thought of working for the Khitan emperor.  They threw away the chopsticks, pulled them with their hands, and devoured them with high spirits.

    After all the meals were finished, the jailer took back the bowls and chopsticks, looked at the empty bowls and talked in a low voice.

    "These Rakshasa ghosts eat without raw meat when their heads are severed, and they still eat happily, and they are not afraid of missing hands and feet in the next life."

    "Hey, you don't know. These Raksha ghosts are originally from the underworld. They are not afraid of the vicious dogs on the Naihe bridge."

    "Whatever it is, just pick up some meat for appetizers."

    In ancient China, the cut-off rice had no meat, and it might just be a bowl of rice porridge.  But if they can provide raw meat, they will try to provide it as much as possible, and they would rather not give cooked meat to prisoners.

    The piece of raw meat in the bowl was not for the condemned prisoner, but for Po Meng's dog.

    The vicious dog next to Po Meng often hinders the death row prisoner from reincarnating. When the death row prisoner is drinking soup on the Naihe Bridge, he bites a few times.  If bitten by a vicious Naihe dog, you will be born disabled after reincarnation, and you can bribe the vicious dog by adding a piece of raw meat.

    "Have you eaten all the death row prisoners?" Several officials from the Ministry of Punishment came over.

    The head jailer hurried up to meet him: "I've eaten all of them."

    The official of the Ministry of Punishment took out the document: "You check it out, these death row prisoners are sent to be executed."

    The paperwork has been passed once, and the chief prison officer has signed it.  Now that the death row is being removed, the head of the jailer has to sign.

    Khabarov was taken to the execution ground, and he was very happy along the way, thinking that he would soon regain his freedom.

    In the Ming Dynasty, the execution ground in Beijing was located in Xisi Pailou, which was the busiest market in the entire capital.  Execution in public can establish prestige and let the king's law be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

    Emperor Zhao felt that this was too barbaric, and Dan was very unhygienic.

    If death row prisoners have infectious diseases, don't the people passing by have the risk of infection?

    Now it has been changed, the execution ground is set outside the south city gate, and an open space has been specially opened up for killing people.

    "Execute Luo, supervise and kill Raksha ghost!"

    The guards beat gongs and shouted along the way, which immediately attracted many bored people.??, he picked up the soap and brought it to his nose. The refreshing smell made him intoxicated—it was actually an ordinary floral fragrance.

    Khabarov thought to himself: "This treasure for bathing must be mixed with expensive spices. I am afraid that even His Majesty the Tsar has never used it."

    After tossing for a long time, Khabarov changed into new clothes, which were the best clothes he had worn in recent years.

    "It's packed?" Several imperial city guards came on horseback.

    The official officer immediately bowed and apologized with a smile: "Report to the emperor's officer, it has been cleaned up."

    The imperial city guard pointed to an empty horse: "Get on the horse quickly, Your Majesty is waiting!"

    Khabarov looked at the magnificent horse and was so excited that he almost cried. He felt that he should not die, and maybe he was lucky.

    In fact, whether this guy will die or not depends on how much information he knows about the Cossacks.

    If Emperor Zhao couldn't ask for more information, he would definitely be taken to the execution ground in a rage!

    Arriving outside the East Chang'an Gate, Khabarov was ordered to dismount, and was searched when he entered the imperial city.

    Then, he felt himself entering a maze.

    The palace wall is majestic and the passage is wide, but it bends and turns, as if it will never come to an end.  On the way, I met many guards, and there were also sporadic court ladies and female officials. This guy didn't dare to be arrogant at all, and even felt ashamed when facing female officials.

    This is his natural awe of the rich and powerful who was born in a peasant.

    It's as if he had private arms in his hands after he developed in the past.  But when the lord took possession of his property, Khabarov didn't dare to resist at all, and he didn't dare to take revenge after he was released from prison.

    Finally, his sight became wider, and he saw many majestic palaces.

    He was taken to a large hall, changed a few guards, and the female officer led them in.

    Going up the steps and passing through the gate of the hall, the hall is empty and tall.  The architectural space alone brought him a sense of oppression, making him feel humble and small.

    In the innermost part of the hall is a man in yellow clothes.

    That is the Khitan Emperor.

    Only halfway through the hall, Khabarov was stopped by the guards.  He looked at the emperor in front of him. The emperor was seated on the steps, and he had to tilt his neck slightly to observe.  whole here

    Subconsciously, his knees were weak, and Khabarov knelt down on the spot, prostrating himself on the ground: "Great and invincible Emperor of Khitan, Khabarov sends his greetings to you. May you live to be a hundred years old."

    "Kneel down and talk." The emperor spoke, the distance was far away, the voice was not loud, but it could be heard clearly.

    Between Khabarov and the emperor, there was an interpreter: "Your Majesty asked you to speak on your knees."

    Finally understood this time, Khabarov knelt down quickly.  He didn't dare to look up at the emperor, thinking that it would be sacrilege to look more, but his eyes were fixed on the translator.

    The Emperor asked: "Who is the Tsar of Russia? What is his name? How old is he?"

    Khabarov was stunned: "I don't know."

    He really didn't know how the guy who came to Siberia to make a living had heard the news of the Tsar.

 Text 736 [The Cossack's Secret]

    "For this great event, I risked all kinds of dangers. After Macau, Goa, Mughal, Persia and Anatolia, I came to Smyrna.

    Prepared to set off from here again, heading for Rome.  Since the Emperor of China has entrusted me with this glorious mission, I will go through all kinds of hardships to complete the mission!  "-

    Boym.

    It was Boym, a Polish missionary, who did the Russian translation for Zhao Han.

    Historically, he was sent by Emperor Yongli of Nanming to go to the Pope of Rome to rescue soldiers.

    He boarded a ship from Guilin to Macau and was blocked by Portuguese businessmen in Goa, India.  These Portuguese businessmen have been bought by the Qing Dynasty, allowing them to continue their business and allowing the Jesuits to preach in China.  The Governor of Goa in Portugal, upon learning of the promise made by the Manchus, immediately detained Boym who had gone to Europe to ask for help.

    Boym still remembered Emperor Yongli's mission to find an opportunity to escape from Goa.  But he could not continue to travel by sea, so he disguised himself and walked all the way from India to Persia, where he contacted his Venetian friends.

    With the help of his friends, Boym crossed the Mediterranean Sea and finally arrived in Venice.

    However, Jesuit missionaries were not welcome here, and Boym was refused to go ashore.  Boym changed into the Ming Dynasty's official uniform and asked to see the Venetian ruler as a Ming envoy.

    The Venetian government was very interested in him, and spent a few months discussing academics with Boym, whoring Chinese medicine books and maps of China brought by Boym for nothing.  Theories of Chinese medicine and knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine were systematically spread to Europe.

    In desperation, Boym went to Rome, but the Pope refused to see him, and even loathed the entire Society of Jesus.

    Boym waited bitterly for two years, and finally waited for the Pope to summon him. At the same time, he also met Wei Kuanguo, the envoy of the Qing Dynasty.

    The name Wei Kuanguo means "defending Kuanguo and helping the Ming Dynasty".  But at this moment, he became a representative of the Qing Dynasty and came to prevent the Pope from sending troops.

    After the Pope clearly refused to rescue him, Boym returned to his hometown in Poland and wanted to ask the Grand Duke of Poland to send troops.  Wei Kuanguo took the lead and told the strength of the Eight Banners Army that the King of Poland did not dare to intervene.

    Although Wei Kuanguo knew that the entire Ming Dynasty had fallen, Boym insisted on going back and returned to his Emperor Yongli.

    Eight years after his mission, Boym came to Siam and learned that Yunnan was still insisting on resisting the Qing Dynasty.

    Overjoyed, Boym immediately took a boat to Macau, and then went on foot to Yunnan alone, but unfortunately died of illness in Guangxi on the way.

    Today, Boym has three roles:

    One is a master's degree from the Geography Museum of Qintian Academy, the other is a lecturer and doctor at Jinling Medical College, and the third is a Jesuit missionary.

    His family was originally a Hungarian aristocrat, but his grandfather became a Polish aristocrat and served as a secretary to the Polish king.  His father was a doctor of medicine and a doctor of philosophy, and he was the royal doctor of the king of Poland.  Boym himself is a Polish doctor. After coming to China, he began to study Chinese medicine, and now he has a taste of combining Chinese and Western medicine.

    Seeing that Khabarov replied that he did not know, Boym said: "Your Majesty, when I left Poland, Russia was ruled by Mikhail Romanov.

    His throne was picked up, and several false tsars emerged in a row, and was even claimed by the Grand Duke of Poland for a time.  The previous tsar had become extinct, and Mikhail's father was the nephew of Empress Ivan IV, and he was very prestigious in Russia.  So the shepherds and nobles asked him to be the tsar, but in fact his father ruled Russia.  "

    "Mikhail Romanov?" Zhao Han had no impression of this name at all.

    But since the surname is Romanov, and the previous czar is extinct, then this person is probably the founder of the Romanov dynasty.

    Zhao Han still knows about the Romanov dynasty.

    Zhao Han asked: "How old is Mikhail?"

    Boym replied: "Maybe thirty or forty years old, but this tsar is notoriously weak and sick, and he may have died of illness long ago. As for who the new tsar is, I don't know. Chinese Jesuit missionaries also  no one knows."

    It has been several years, no new missionaries have come to China, and the latest news in Europe can only be obtained from Nanyang.

    But to be honest, with the current communication conditions, Russia is located in a remote place. I am afraid that even the governor of Batavia may not be able to figure out the name of the new tsar.  After all, in the eyes of European countries, Russia is a group of barbarians.

    Zhao Han suddenly said: "Come closer."

    Boym translated: "Your Majesty wants you to come closer."

    Khabarov was so flattered that he didn't dare to stand up, so he knelt and crawled forward.

    Two female officers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor pulled out a huge map of the world.

    Zhao Han said: "On this big map, put RussiaJiang Shui Division, abolished 300 people.  With the three hundred officers and soldiers of the Yangtze River Navy as the skeleton, the Northeast Navy was formed on the Songhua River.  Another thousand retired officers and soldiers were recruited and added to the Northeast Navy.  Also, doctors should be adequately equipped, and there may be frequent frostbite in the north.  "

    ?Including military doctors and other logistics personnel, the Northeast Navy had only 1,500 troops at the beginning of its formation.

    Regardless of the small number of people, they will be the core military force of the Heilongjiang Capital Division, and their forces can be quickly projected to the entire Songhua River and the coast of Heilongjiang.

    After the rule of Heilongjiang Dusi is stabilized, it will expand further north.  Capture Yakutsk first, then use Yakutsk as a base, and follow the Lena River to capture Baikani Lake. This route of attack is far better than going north from the Mongolian grassland.  Less troop deployment, less logistical pressure,

    With the least cost, Beihai, where Su Wu herds sheep, can be taken.

    Khabarov revealed the core secrets of the Cossacks, which made Zhao Han very satisfied. He said, "I can pardon your crimes."

    Khabarov was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Great Emperor!"

    Zhao Han said again: "But you have killed countless people, so you can avoid death and live. Cutting off the little finger of your left hand is a lesson for you!"

    A finger is nothing, as long as it is not a thumb, Khabarov is completely acceptable.

    Zhao Han said: "After the establishment of the Northeast Navy, you will be appointed as the military guide and general officer (interpreter). As long as you make meritorious service in combat, I will reward you for your meritorious service, and even let you serve as an officer!"

    Khabarov seems to have been hit by a pie in the sky. As an officer in the wealthy Khitan Kingdom, wouldn't he have a chance to become a nobleman in the future?

    This guy knelt on the ground, kowtowed madly at the emperor, and even wanted to crawl over to kiss the emperor's boots.

    (&lt;/div&gt

 Text 737【Embassy to the West】

    It is impossible for a person like Khabarov to come back, let alone become an officer.

    ? After the establishment of the Northeast Navy, the Yangtze River Navy was the backbone.  If you want to expand the army in the future, you will definitely not recruit soldiers in the south, but mainly move to the northeast, aboriginals and criminals. Immigrants can be recruited in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and only aboriginals and criminals can be recruited in the north.

    If this Cossack bandit who came here for refuge made military achievements, let alone the emperor could not see it, it might not even reach the ears of the Heilongjiang capital.

    At the beginning, Sai He, the Tartar general who voluntarily surrendered, was killed by the military and civilian officials because of his notoriety in the Northeast.

    This guy stayed in Liaoning as a big landlord. He was first forced to divide the land and dared not resist at all.  Then he was reported to kill the servant, and the government had been staring at him,

    So an investigation was carried out immediately, and the previous crimes were also liquidated. All the men in the family were executed, and the women in the family were ordered to remarry to immigrants.

    Almost all the Tartar generals ended up in this way, only a few did not do much evil, and fortunately escaped the liquidation afterwards.

    Many of the civil servants in the Northeast were former scholars, and they blamed the Tartars for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.  Generals in the Northeast and many comrades in arms died at the hands of the Tartars.  So the civil and military officials cooperated tacitly, staring at the surrendered Tartar generals all day long, and liquidating the crimes before surrendering if they committed any crimes.

    As for Khabarov, probably after capturing Lake Baikal, he will be useless to the Northeast Navy, and may die in a certain battle for no apparent reason.

    You know, once the natives are recruited to supplement the navy, these natives will have a deep hatred with Khabarov!

    Zhao Han used this guy because he knew the stronghold of the Cossacks, and he was also well-known in the Cossacks. At critical times, he could even cause the Cossacks to fall inside.  This is about the future of Siberia, and anyone can use it, even if he has committed many crimes in the past.

    Just when Khabarov was happy, the fleet of Chinese envoys to the West had already set sail in Shanghai.

    The envoy was Zhang Ruifeng, You Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, and brought twelve officials of Honghe Temple, two scholars of Imperial Academy, and two scholars of Qintian Academy.

    The commander-in-chief of the fleet is Fan Chao, who was born in a Poyang Lake water bandit and was transferred from the Yangtze River Navy to an admiral.  There was a warship whose captain was Shi Lang, the son of admiral Shi Daxuan.

    The fleet has a total of twenty warships and six transport ships.

    Lu Tianxiang's identity can barely be regarded as an envoy, responsible for commanding 30 female officials of the Royal Horse Supervisor and 1,000 emperor's personal guards.

    The ship sailed to the waters of Quang Nam Province and replenished at the port of Thanh Hoa.

    The local officials did not come to receive them, and only sent a county magistrate to the port to explain the situation: "My lords, Rong Bing, the mobs in Guangnan are everywhere, and the county magistrates are defending the county. General Liu and General Ding are leading the army to quell the chaos.  The border is safe for the time being, but you still need to strengthen your vigilance.

    Zhang Ruifeng said in shock: "There are rioters in Guangnan again?"

    The county magistrate smiled and said: "After this time, there will probably be a lot fewer rioters."

    The civil unrest in Guangnan this time was purely deliberately provoked by local officials.  It was specially chosen in winter to forcibly take back the excess land of the landlords, which aroused the landlords of the Yue nationality and incited the people to rebel.

    The reason why it is chosen in winter is to leave enough time to calm down the chaos and have half a year to let go.  The summer is too hot, and it will not be fun at that time. Datong soldiers may experience large-scale non-combat attrition due to the weather.

    Zhang Jiayu, the chief minister of the left, Sun Chuanting, the chief minister of the right, Zhang Huangyan, the chief judge, and Shi Kefa, the enlightenment envoy.

    These four people are in charge of Guangnan Province, plus two divisions of the Datong Army.  Moreover, 3% of the soldiers in these two divisions came from Guangxi wolf soldiers.  With such a luxurious lineup, if the landlords of the Yue ethnic group can make trouble, it would be a ghost.

    Thanh Hoa and Ngee An are the places with the most rioters.

    ? Sun Chuanting personally moved to Tsinghua to sit in the township, asked Zhang Huangyan to be in charge of ransacking the house in Qinghua, and asked Shi Kefa to be in charge of ransacking the house in Ngee’an.  Those whose homes were ransacked were all big landlords who had instigated the rebellion, and even landlords who had not participated in the (apparent) rebellion would be affected.

    As for the leaders of the rioters, regardless of whether they are bewitched or not, they are all cut off anyway.

    This approach may seem bloody, but it is actually very gentle. Vietnam has been separated from China for hundreds of years, and it is easy to leave troubles without strong measures.

    ? As the Guangnan Envoy, Shi Kefa even ordered that all books in Nan language be banned.

    If anyone who is caught privately hiding Nanwen books, his home will be ransacked at the least, and his head will be executed at worst!

    This policy is beneficial in the long run, but counterproductive in the short run.

    ?Nam to Vietnam is equivalent to Korean to North Korea. It is a phonetic script based on Chinese characters.  It is despised by Vietnamese scholars and even suppressed by the Vietnamese court.

    But Shi Kefa ordered to ban it.relation.  Then, he sold two loads of silk and two loads of cotton cloth to Sultan Jinji, and exchanged them all for silver coins here.

    Sultan Jinji was very generous and gifted two female slaves, one to Zhang Ruifeng and the other to Lu Tianxiang.

    Zhang Ruifeng didn't dare to accept it, and handed over all the female slaves to Lu Tianxiang for management.

    So, beside Lu Tianxiang, there were two more maids.

    Through the introduction of Jinji Sultan, Zhang Ruifeng learned that there are many small countries nearby.  To communicate one by one, it would take years of monkeys to reach Europe.

    Therefore, for the rest of the journey, we will only choose those with stronger national strength to engage in diplomacy, all the way to the country of Bijapur in the west of the Indian subcontinent.

    Bijapur and Golkonda, these two countries, are the main forces preventing the Mughals from going south, and have fought against the Mughal Empire for hundreds of years.

    Next, it was to meet the Mughal emperor, which was the first empire they visited.

    In order to ensure safety, Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng brought a total of 3,000 troops ashore, scaring the Mughal magistrates to summon the army.

 Text 738【Mughal Emperor】

    ,

    (); Shah Jahan, the Mughal emperor, is sixty years old this year.

    His second wife, a Persian girl, died of dystocia twenty years ago.  Shah Jahan was distraught and spent more than ten years building a luxurious mausoleum for his wife.

    This mausoleum is called the Taj Mahal.

    Such a poignant love story, it is a pity that Taj gave birth to an unfilial son.  A few years later, when Shah Jahan was seriously ill, he was put under house arrest by his son for five years, until his death.

    "Your Majesty, the Lucky Prince (Crown Prince) sent someone back to report that the Chinese envoy with three thousand soldiers wanted to go to Delhi to meet His Majesty."

    "China? Let it go quickly, and receive it with the highest etiquette!"

    Shah Jahan was very happy, he had heard many legends about China.

    As for the Chinese envoys bringing three thousand soldiers, this is nothing to Shah Jahan.

    The army of the Mughal Empire quadrupled in the hands of Shah Jahan.  During his reign, he quelled the Green Rebellion, repelled the Portuguese, and even captured a Portuguese colonial port.  He destroyed two countries in the west, two countries in the Deccan Plateau, expanded beyond the Khyber Pass in the northwest, and seized a large area of ????Afghanistan territory from Persia.

    How could such a powerful emperor be afraid of three thousand foreign troops?

    In Gujarat, the Mughal crown prince Dara Shuko personally received the Chinese envoys.

    This old man, the eldest son born to Taj, has been confirmed as the heir.  His title is Lucky Prince, and his actual position is: Governor of Gujarat, Governor of Allahabad, President of Multan, and President of Kabul.

    The crown prince holds the local military and political power, and the other princes also hold the local military and political power.

    Such a system will inevitably lead to internal strife.

    Historically, the crown prince was beheaded by his own brother.  It was the one who put the emperor under house arrest. After the emperor fell ill, he first led troops to kill the elder brother of the crown prince, and then put the emperor's father under house arrest until he died.

    Dara Shuko's failure was mainly due to religious reasons.

    As the crown prince, he actually advocates Hinduism.  As a result, although the emperor continued to give him great power, religious forces and local lords turned to his brother one after another.

    "It's a great honor to receive Chinese friends." Dara Shuke smiled.

    Lu Tianxiang cupped his hands and said, "I have long admired His Highness's name!"

    After the two sides reported their identities to each other, Dara Shuke was a little surprised that the emperor of China actually sent his concubine as an envoy.  Moreover, is the skin of all Chinese people so dark?  Although whiter than Dalit, it also looks like a lower caste.

    But it's not right, this emissary named Zhang Ruifeng has the same white skin as a high caste.

    It seems that the taste of the Chinese emperor is very unique

    Dara Shuke made up his mind to present a Persian female slave as a gift, so that the Chinese emperor could appreciate the charm of white-skinned women.

    The crown prince advocates Hinduism and attaches great importance to skin color.  Except for the greeting at the beginning, I didn't talk to Lu Tianxiang very much, and kept communicating with Zhang Ruifeng through an interpreter.

    His character is like this, warm and generous, cheerful and gentle, arrogant and irritable!

    He has a good eye, and he is gentle and enthusiastic towards you.  He looks down on you and is arrogant and irritable towards you.  This kind of person is not suitable to be an emperor, but more suitable to be a scholar.

    In fact, Dara Shuko is indeed knowledgeable, and even personally served as the editor-in-chief, carefully translating Hindu classics and poems into Persian.

    He discussed Chinese poetry with Zhang Ruifeng, but the translation was too bad, so he asked again: "How about Chinese painting art?"

    Zhang Ruifeng said with a smile: "I have an accompanying official who is proficient in Chinese painting."

    Pan Wei, who was in charge of recording the customs with the group, immediately took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and made an ink painting on the spot.

    Dara Shuke couldn't put it down, and repeatedly observed and tasted it. After admiring it, he asked: "Are all Chinese paintings in black and white?"

    Pan Wei replied: "There are also colored paintings, but they need to be mixed with pigments."

    Dara Shuke said: "I can provide any paint you want."

    This guy was delighted to see Lie Xin, so he kept Pan Wei and insisted on learning painting skills with him.

    The envoys could only keep Pan Wei in Gujarat, and the rest continued to Aragh to meet the Mughal emperor.

    Before leaving, Pan Wei said: "Your Majesty, Ambassador Zhang, this Indian Crown Prince looks like Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty no matter what you look at."

    Zhang Ruifeng smiled and said: "It is Song Huizong who is the best. Mughal is really a big country, and it is best for us to divide China. And as the crown prince, he is actually a governor outside the country. The Mughal emperor is not afraid of the crown prince leading troops to Qingjun.??Take the opportunity to counterattack.

    Just two years ago, the Persian army marched eastward and recaptured Kandahar, an important town in Afghanistan.  In this situation, Shah Jahan could only choose to accept that he was no longer able to fight Persia.

    Zhang Ruifeng took out a letter: "His Majesty the Emperor of our country has also admired the reputation of the Mughal monarch for a long time, so he wrote a letter himself."

    The waiter took the letter and handed it to Shah Jahan.

    Shah Jahan opened the letter on the spot. Zhao Han's handwriting used Chinese characters, but it had been translated into Persian.

    There are three general contents of the letter:

    First, I have admired the Mughal emperor for a long time and am willing to make friends.

    Second, China and the Mughals have deep historical ties.  The founding emperor of the Mughals, Babur, whose ancestor was Timur, the overlord of Central Asia, was a Turkic Mongol, while the Han and Mongols were descendants of Yan and Huang.  Therefore, the Chinese royal family has a common ancestor with the Mughal royal family.

    Third, Emperor Zhao hated Europeans, successfully took back Macau controlled by Portugal, and successfully defeated Spain and the Netherlands.  China wants to establish diplomatic relations with Mughals, bypassing those damn Europeans, merchants from both countries directly trade by sea.  If given the opportunity, the two countries could jointly attack the armies of European countries.

    After reading the letter, Shah Jahan was very satisfied, and asked many more specific information.

    After dismissing the envoys, Shah Jahan called court scholars: "My ancestors, the great conqueror Babur, and the great distant ancestor Timur, were really Mongolians from China?"

    The court scholar replied: "The great Timur was indeed a Mongolian nobleman of the Chagatai Khanate."

    "I see." Shah Jahan sighed.

    His ancestry is very mixed. First, he intermarried with Indian Kshatrili, and then with Persians. It is already difficult to find oriental features from his appearance.

    Shah Jahan called the court officials and said: "Command the merchants on the seashore to organize a trade fleet." He also said, "Let your son form an envoy to visit the emperor in China and bring me to the emperor of China.  Go present."

    The gifts from the Mughal emperor included one hundred catties of iron and steel, twenty war horses, two elephants, ten Persian female slaves, ten boxes of Indian cotton cloth, and some jewelry

    This guy is very generous, as long as it suits his appetite, he is willing to give away anything.

    The British businessman fit his appetite and immediately reaped huge benefits.  The British East India Company's business in the Mughal territory is all tax-free.

    Otherwise, it would be difficult for the UK to gain a firm foothold in Asia.

 Text 739【Theory of Heaven】

    ,

    (); Pan Wei, who stayed in Gujarat, learned more about the Mughals from the crown prince every day.

    He wrote in his work notes:

    "The Mughal state of India has completed the establishment and decentralization of power, but this system is full of loopholes."

    "The local provinces have provincial governors, just like the governors of the previous Ming Dynasty. Under the provincial governors, there are Subadar and Diwan. Subadar can be regarded as the chief envoy. Diwan is in charge of the finance of a province."

    "The princes of the Mughal kingdom are all appointed as governors. One person manages one province, or one person manages several provinces. There are also clans or nobles who are named provincial governors by the Mughal monarch. These nobles must live in Delhi or Ala.  Ge, whose family is like a hostage in the hands of the king."

    "However, the Mughal emperor is old and faint. The provincial governors of each province have more power. They can mint their own coins and appoint officials at will. The promotion and replacement of the provincial governors will continue to extend. If things go on like this, within a hundred years, the provincial governors may be  State herdsmen, in the situation of separatism at the end of the Han Dynasty"

    The provincial governors will become independent states, and they will appear one after another in about fifty years.

    Of course, there are other forms of state.

    One is the Rajputs, that is, foreign peoples who have arrived in India one after another for thousands of years.  They have their own territory, have their own army, and remain relatively independent in the Mughal Empire.

    One is the combination of capital landlords and military groups.  With the commercial development of the Mughals, the landlords continued to erode power, and even obtained the right to collect commercial taxes, and gradually became merchants and bankers.  Long-term wars and chaos have led to the decline of the traditional military system, and local powerful factions have begun to train Western-style mercenaries.  This model is very expensive, and you have to borrow money from merchants. Gradually, military groups and merchant landlords form a community.

    When the British colonized India, India was full of land states, which were formed due to the above three reasons.

    At this time, the Mughals were still at the peak of the emperor's centralization of power, but there were already signs of the collapse of the rule.

    The root cause is that Shah Jahan's militarism has emptied the entire empire's finances, and there is an urgent need to stop and recuperate.  In order to ease the financial pressure of the central government, the provincial governor has been continuously given more power, and the provincial governor has been allowed to make money and raise soldiers in the local area.

    The next emperor, the first thing to do is to take power and disarm.

    However, the actual situation is that the emperor is not dead, but seriously ill, and the four princes started fighting.  The number of troops is increasing, the power of the provincial governor is increasing, and the new emperor who raises Gu is facing the uprising army one after another.  Not only can we not disarm, but we must continue to expand the army. After the expansion, we cannot cut the army. We can only use foreign troops to transfer internal conflicts.

    So, the unfilial son born to Taj expanded the territory of the Mughal Empire to its peak.  As soon as this person died, the local government lost control, and the governors of the provinces were divided into states, and the central government could no longer control the military and political power of the provinces.

    The British East India Company, taking the opportunity to collude with the state, crazily grabbed huge profits.

    Today's Mughals, magistrates are still very obedient.

    Emperor Shah Jahan warmly received the Chinese mission, and the nobles in the capital responded immediately, rushing to visit the members of the mission, and hosting banquets every now and then.  On the way back to the mission, the local officials also received them attentively, for fear of neglecting the emperor's distinguished guests.

    In such a situation, there is no danger, and no one dares to move when the emperor covers the mission.

    Returning to the ship without any surprises, Pan Wei submitted his work report, and the others also summarized what they saw along the way.

    Next stop, Persia.

    Like the Mughal Empire, Safi Persia is also in its heyday, and the monarchy system has reached its peak.

    King Abbas II of Persia combined political, military, judicial and religious powers in one body.  Even most of the land in the country was declared to be owned by the royal family, and part of the land was allocated to officials in the form of lutian.  Peasants, on the other hand, have no right to own land.

    Abbas II made great efforts to govern, not only continued to recover lost land, but also built water conservancy, improved farming, reduced taxes, encouraged industry and commerce, built post roads, and encouraged literature and art On the whole, the national power has far surpassed the Mughals.  Kandahar was taken back from his son.

    Even though this is a green country, the social atmosphere is actually very open, even in the paintings, prostitutes often appear.

    Pan Wei gave Persia a very high evaluation, and wrote in his work notes: "The ancient country of Persia is not a vain name. This country is prosperous in culture, rich in people, full of merchants, and prosperous in all industries. The people are clean and self-loving, and the streets and markets are free from filth.  Compared with the Mughal Kingdom, there is a world of difference"

    In a word, Safi Persia belongs to a civilized country and can throw the Mughals out of eight streets.

    Even the Ottoman Empire was beaten by Persia at this time.  From Ottomans, Persia recovered Georgia one after another."When I was studying at Jinling University, I checked the records of the former Ming Dynasty. The reform of a whip method originated from the abolition of the official land of the Ming Dynasty. The abolition of the official land of the Ming Dynasty was due to the invasion of official land by Gongqing Haoyou. This kind of encroachment, occupying his land  Don’t pay for it. The Land Administration of Datong New Dynasty does not allow land trading, which is no different from the official land of the Ming Dynasty. Beware of public officials who embezzle people’s land and do not buy it, and they are not guilty of destroying land administration!”

    What does it mean to embezzle people's land and not buy it?

    It means that the people are bankrupt and can only sell their fields to survive.  But the big family did not dare to destroy the land administration, so they did not trade the land ownership, leased the land to the big family permanently, and became the tenant farmers of the big family in disguise—this is how the official land of the Ming Dynasty was invaded.

    Cai Yuncheng has decided that when he returns to Nanjing, he will go to the Shu and ask His Majesty to make up for the loopholes in Tianzheng.

    At least, make up from the legal level.

    In the future, even if the Tian government is corrupted, if you encounter daring officials, you will have full legal grounds to attack Hao You.

    During the next trip, Cai Yuncheng continued to enrich his theory.  He intends to create an academic sect, which may be called "Tian Li Sect". To implement Zhao Han's system seriously is to preserve the natural law, and to destroy Zhao Han's system is to violate the natural law, and he is a hypocrite who is dominated by human desires.

    (); Ottoman's capital is already next to Greece, so it is naturally impossible to go there immediately, and you have to go there by boat in the Mediterranean.

    The next stop of the mission is the port city of Sohar.

    Hundreds of years later, this place belonged to Oman, but now it belongs to Jabrid.

    When the Jabrid dynasty was in its heyday, it was able to control the entire Arabian coast, including the UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, and parts of Saudi Arabia and Oman.

    Before the collapse of the dynasty, three brothers ruled Oman, the north bank of Oman, Bahrain and surrounding areas respectively.  At this time, the Portuguese came, their ships were strong and powerful, and they were invincible, and a dynasty quickly disintegrated.

    Now split into many tribes, one of the branches of the royal family continues to rule a small number of areas. The main land is only the United Arab Emirates and the northwest coast of Oman.

    The navy that once dominated the Arabian coast has also degenerated into pirates of all sizes with the collapse of the dynasty.

    At this very moment, King Saif I of Oman is recruiting these pirates by virtue of his prestige.

    Last year, off the coast of Muscat, Oman fought Portugal.  Two Oman warships were captured by Portugal, and more than a dozen were severely damaged. The next generation of Saif I

    If you are determined to develop your navy, recruiting nearby pirates is naturally a shortcut.

    The Chinese fleet sailed out of the Strait of Hormuz, and a group of pirates watched from afar, jealous but did not dare to act.

    "Are these pirates, or which country's navy?"

    Fan Chao held up the binoculars, always feeling that the other party's intentions were wrong.

    But it may also be overthinking. If it is a certain country's navy, it is normal to be on guard in the open sea.

    Fan Chao put away the binoculars and said to the adjutant: "Sign out the semaphore to get all ships ready, and fire immediately if any abnormalities are found!

    The envoy fleet continued to advance, and the pirate ships retreated farther and farther, and finally retreated to Sohar Port, which is the target of the Chinese mission.

    The pirates were also very surprised. This is a pirate den. Could it be that the other party is coming to destroy him?

    The pirate ships fled the port in a swarm, and some pirates disembarked and ran to the city to report to the ruler.

    The ruler was Zaid ibn Zamir, a descendant of the Jabrid dynasty.  Those pirates outside can be said to be his navy, or it can be said that it has nothing to do with it.

    Hearing that a fleet was approaching, Zaid shouted in fright: "Call all the troops, send people immediately, and call the warriors of all tribes here!

    There are only 300 cavalry in this city, and the rest are all infantry, and there are not even musketeers.

    About 40 minutes later, the port tax collector came to report: "Master, there is a fleet of envoys from China outside, and they request to enter the city to visit the master.'

    At the same time, there was also an Arab businessman who explained to Zayed: "China is located in the far east, and it is a very powerful country. The silk worn by the Persian nobles came from there. They just came from Persia.  It is said that he was warmly received by the emperor and was a trustworthy messenger of peace.

    "I see, please invite the Chinese envoys into the city." Zaid finally felt relieved.

    After the merchants and tax collectors left, the pirate leader who fled into the city suddenly said: "If the silk comes from China, then there are countless treasures on these ships. You can lure their army to the city and capture the leader of the army.  Force those ships to surrender.

    Such a daring and bad idea, Zaid was actually moved.

    There is only one port city and a few surrounding tribes in this guy's core ruling area. The rest of the territory only obeys him in name, and usually has to partner with pirates to make money.

    In a word, poor and crazy!

    Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng brought 2,000 soldiers ashore. When they entered the city, only half of them were allowed to enter.

    Those pirates looked very weird at first, and the members of the mission were always on guard, but now they feel very strange.

    Zheng Dayong, the commander of the emperor's personal guard, had already served as the head of the regiment in the north before being transferred back to Nanjing.  At this moment, he frowned and said, "We have two thousand soldiers going ashore. Either let us all enter the city, or like the Persian emperor, only allow us to bring two or three hundred soldiers into the city. No more, no less, let us bring a thousand soldiers in,  Divide our army in two. What is this trying to do?"

    Shi Lang said: "Divide and annihilate them."

    Zhang Ruifeng hesitated, looked at Lu Tianxiang: "Ma'am, do you want to go to the city?"

    Lu Tianxiang did not answer immediately, but asked Zheng Dayong: "Commander Zheng is a warrior on the battlefield, what advice can you say.

    Zheng Dayong said: "If you want to enter the city, you must first send someone back to the ship to report. Let the fleet prepare for the battle, those unknown ships at seaArmor, some don't even have leather armor.  A group of infantry from the south came, facing the hedgehog-like spear formation, they were already terrified before they fought.

    Long guns to long guns.

    The Datong Army cooperated tacitly, and the Arab soldiers fought on their own.  Not to mention, the Arab soldiers' spears could not pierce the armor of the Datong army at all.  And the Datong army stabbed out with a single shot, it can be said that the shot pierced the flesh and blood.

    At the moment of the battle, the Arab soldiers showed signs of collapse.

    Zaid personally led the cavalry and rushed towards the flank of the Datong Army.  He believed in the power of the cavalry, and the enemies in front of him were all infantry, and they must have been scared to break up and run away.

    But in the face of the cavalry charge, the Datong army stood still, all raising their spears and waiting in place.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The fire guards hiding in the formation finally opened fire.

    What the hell?

    Although Zaid did not have a musketeer, he knew what the matchlock gun was like. With such a dense formation, it was impossible for the matchlock gun to be fired.  Moreover, he just observed that the enemy's musketeers did not place matchlocks at all.

    Matchlock guns do need enough space, but flintlock guns don't.

    The Arab cavalry in the front row suddenly turned on their backs.

    After finally getting close, facing Lin Li's spears, the war horse automatically chose to brake.  A smart horse is also afraid of death, and it is impossible to go straight to the spear or bayonet. This is also the main reason why the infantry's hollow formation can deal with the cavalry.

    "kill!"

    Three hundred guards in plate armor crossed the spear array with their warhammers in hand.

    The nearly collapsed Arab infantry subconsciously stabbed at these monsters.  Some plate armored guards were stabbed down, and they tried to get up with great difficulty. They seemed to be in a mess, but they were not injured.

    More plate armor guards stepped forward among countless spears, wielding war hammers, one by one.

    "Run!"

    Seeing that the situation was not good, Zaid led his troops and cavalry to flee, turned around and ran in the narrow street.  He couldn't even take care of his wife and children, the enemies in front of him were too terrifying, so he had better escape the city with the cavalry first.

    The Datong army that entered the city had won a decisive victory without the support of friendly troops outside the city.

    At this moment, one thousand naval soldiers were outside the east city, and one thousand navy soldiers were outside the west city, and sentries were set up on all sides to observe the situation.

    "woo woo woo woo!"

    The sentinels in the north sounded their horns.

    Lu Tianxiang was shocked immediately, raised his knife and shouted: "Follow me to kill the enemy!"

    The imperial concubine, with only twenty cavalry, even went to chase and kill more than two hundred Arab cavalry.

 Text 742 [Big Victory]

    The northern part of Oman runs across this mountain range.

    The south of the mountains is mostly desert.

    To the north of the mountains is the plain of the Gulf of Oman facing the sea.  There are many small rivers that flow from the mountains, pass through the plains and enter the sea. This is the elite grain-producing area of ??Oman.

    The king of Oman occupied two-thirds of these elite places.

    The remaining third was controlled by Zayed, so he was able to raise three hundred cavalry.

    Cavalry is indeed cavalry, but a little irregular.  Only a few leaders wore chain armor, and the rest didn't even have leather armor. They were fighting in linen robes.

    These guys, terrified by the enemy troops in the city, fled north in a panic, trying to hide in the mountains for a while, and return after the Datong army left by boat.  They still had more than two hundred and forty riders. When they heard the sound of the horn, they turned their heads and found that Lu Tianxiang was chasing after him with only twenty riders.

    Surprised and angry, Zaid turned his horse's head, raised his scimitar and said, "Blow the horn, kill these pursuers!"

    Due to fleeing in panic, these Arab cavalry have distanced themselves from each other.  After hearing Zayed's order, many of them didn't have time to stop and continued to run a long way.

    If you look down from the sky, there are more than two hundred cavalry, one in the east and one in the west, gathering in twos and threes to wait and see.

    "Warriors, follow me to Imam Saeed!"

    A leader wearing chain mail, unexpectedly ignoring Zayed's orders, suddenly galloped towards the east on horseback.

    What's more, the cavalry near this person rushed to follow him, leaving Zayed alone.

    "Come back, come back!" Zaid yelled in panic.

    strictly speaking,

    Saeed I of Oman is not the Sultan of Oman.  Because the patriarchal system was implemented, the country was not even established, and the territory was only divided into various parishes.  Said I's identity is an imam respected by the whole of Arabia.

    Moreover, the capital of Said I is just five hundred miles to the east, and there are plains along the way.  Even if you run to the east for twenty or thirty miles, you have already entered the border of Oman.

    As mentioned earlier, the plains of the Gulf of Oman are the essence of the place, and Said I accounts for one-third

    Second, how could it be possible not to covet the remaining third?

    He had already secretly sent someone over to recruit Zaid's cavalry and pirates, but he hadn't negotiated a price yet.

    At this time, Suhar City was captured by the Datong Army, and the families of these cavalrymen were all in the city.  In their view, the Datong army must burn, kill and loot, and most of the family members will be killed or taken away.  Anyway, the family is ruined and the future is hopeless, so it is better to seek refuge in the hero Said.

    More and more Arab cavalry, ignoring Zayed's orders, galloped eastward on horseback.

    Zaid could no longer care about panic and anger, because Lu Tianxiang had chased him dozens of steps away.  As for the cavalry under his command, there were only a hundred or so left, and they stood scattered everywhere, as if they were considering how to make a choice.

    Lu Tianxiang rushed closer and closer, suddenly a cavalry leader, with a few cronies, dismounted and knelt down, and surrendered directly to Lu Tianxiang.  They were reluctant to part with their family members in the city. Whether they fled into the mountains with Zayed or went to the east to join the hero Said, they felt that their family members might be in danger.

    In this case, then surrender directly!

    In the future, if you hang out with these Chinese people, not only can you keep your family, but you can also eat delicious food and drink spicy food.

    "kill!"

    Zaid knew he was doomed. If he didn't eat up the pursuers, all the cavalry under his command would have to leave him.

    When Zayed ordered a counter charge again, more than 30 cavalry turned to the east to join the hero Said.  There are also more than a dozen cavalry, deliberately keeping a distance, neither fighting nor fleeing, observing the battle situation to decide how to choose.

    More than 80 Arab cavalry did not form a team at all, nor did they have time to form a team, and charged sparsely.

    "Protect the empress!"

    A head of the guard shouted, and several knights stepped forward, crowding around Lu Tianxiang and charging.

    Several of the war horses they mowed came from Nanjing Racecourse, and they could all be called "royal horses".

    Due to going out to sea by boat, one died halfway, and two others got sick and were left in India.  Most of the remaining war horses are Indian horse wari horses bought, and a few are good horses bought from Persia.

    The main origin of Persian war horses is Sistan, which is located in the border basin between Iran and Afghanistan in later generations. Today it belongs to the place where Persia and Mughals are fighting to the death.  The number of horses there is kept. Some documents say 800,000 horses, and some documents say 400,000 horses. Anyway, whoever wins there can dominate.

    To sum it up in one sentence, Lu Tianxiang has all good horses under his command.

    &nbsCaptain of the guard

    Zaid didn't understand the situation at all, he felt like he was flying through the clouds, and then he was thrown to the ground hard, and he fainted instantly when his head hit the ground.

    The guard reined in his horse and cupped his fists: "Your Majesty was frightened, and the general rescue came too late."

    Lu Tianxiang was so depressed that she wanted to roll her eyes. She managed to catch up with the enemy general. Although it was difficult to win for a while, she could definitely defeat him.  At this critical moment, she was actually robbed of her head, but she had to be grateful for his help.

    "Thank you."

    Lu Tianxiang threw down two words, uu reading <a href="http://www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a> didn't bother to pay attention to the enemy generals, and immediately beat the horse back  .

    The guards dismounted quickly, grabbed the fainted enemy general, threw him on the Arabian horse, and hurriedly chased after Lu Tianxiang.

    The main battlefield has already been decided. A total of 56 Arab cavalry turned against each other, beheaded 47 enemy cavalry, captured 18 enemy cavalry, and all the rest of the enemy cavalry fled. These light cavalry are really hard to chase.

    On Lu Tianxiang's side, one person was seriously injured and several others were slightly injured.

    The one who was seriously injured was shot by the horse, fell down with the horse, and was crushed and broke the tibia of the calf.

    Lu Tianxiang was also injured, the cheekbones were visible deep in the wound, and it is estimated that there will be scars on the face.  Fortunately, the wound is not big, if it heals well, it should not be too conspicuous.

 Text 743 [Criticism Conference]

    There was no fighting at sea, and the Datong Navy fired a few shots, and the pirates ran away in fright.

    After the war, civil and military officials gathered together to happily discuss the glorious victories.  Only Fan Chao, the commander of the navy, listened to the whole battle process, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

    "General Fan, but the navy is not fighting, so you are not happy?" Zheng Dayong joked with a smile.

    Fan Chao took off his hat and put it lightly on the table. After scanning the crowd, he suppressed his anger and said, "Concubine Lu, Ambassador Zhang, General Zheng, I'm a rough person, and I'm sure I don't understand the truth as much as you do. I'm in charge of  Navy, I shouldn’t talk too much about you. But His Majesty asked me to lead the troops out to sea, so I have to bring everyone back safely.”

    As soon as this remark came out, the joyful and cheerful atmosphere suddenly became dignified.

    Fan Chao was brought by Zhao Han after he took down Zhangshu Town and brought the officers, soldiers and navy to join him.  Although he is similar to a general, he is extremely old in the army, and Gu Jianshan, the captain of the navy, has also been a water bandit with Fan Chao.

    Even, Nanjing City was occupied by Fan Chao's troops!

    Encountering such a veteran with profound qualifications, Lu Tianxiang quickly corrected his attitude and said: "General Fan wants to say anything, just speak freely.

    Fan Chao first asked Zheng Dayong: "Before General Zheng served as His Majesty's personal guard, he must have been on the battlefield for a long time, right? Which division commander did you fight with?"

    "Mr. Zhang (Zhang Tieniu)." Zheng Dayong replied.

    Fan Chao sneered and said: "As expected of Zhang Houye's soldiers, they are brave and fearless, and they fight without any consequences!

    Zheng Dayong was very upset about what he said, and immediately went back to comfort him: "General Fan, please speak up if you have something to say, and you don't need to hide it.

    Fan Chao's face darkened, and he asked sharply: "You know that there is an ambush in the city, but you still dare to lead troops into the city. Do you know how many enemies there are? Do you know that there is a fire system in the city? If there is a fire system, your armor can block the medicine.  Zier? Has Master Zhang ever taught you how to fight?

    A series of accusations,

    The question made Zheng Dayong speechless.

    Seeing the tense atmosphere, Zhang Ruifeng quickly smoothed things over: "General Fan, no matter what, the battle has been won, and we have nothing to lose

    "you shut up!"

    Fan Chao did not save face for the civil servants at all, and interrupted directly: "Do you know how to fight? How many soldiers have you led before?

    This is completely the opposite of the situation in the late Ming Dynasty. Military generals reprimanded civil servants like grandsons.

    Zhang Ruifeng didn't dare to quarrel with Fan Chao, knowing that these nobles are not easy to mess with.  Fan Chao's current title is already a top earl, and he will probably be named a marquis when he returns to Beijing this time.

    Fan Chao didn't bother to quarrel with the civil servants, so he focused his firepower on Zheng Dayong: "Has General Zheng been a bodyguard for too long and hasn't fought a war for several years, so he can't help but want to make meritorious service? We still have a long way to go, and there are many battles.  You are in a hurry! Are you in a hurry to reincarnate? It’s fine if you are in a hurry to reincarnate yourself, and you still have so many brothers in the army with you!”

    Although the army generally looked down on the navy, but Zheng Da used the emperor's personal guard,

    After training Zheng Dayong, Fan Chao began to reprimand Shi Lang again: "I asked you to lead the troops ashore to protect the safety of the empress. The empress went to fight alone and was shot in the face. Where did you go?'

    Shi Lang argued: "The last general, Moxia, is all naval soldiers, and he doesn't ride a horse, so he can't keep up."

    "Asshole!"

    Fan Chao scolded angrily: "Your army has no horses, so you don't know how to tie yourself to the horses of your allies?"

    These words stunned everyone present, and they all turned to look at Lu Tianxiang.  Anyone could tell that Fan Chao was criticizing Sang and Huai, obviously very dissatisfied with Lu Tianxiang.

    Fan Chao got up and kicked over the stool, and left with a sentence: "Before tonight, everyone has one. Write the post-war summary report and hand it in!"

    Seeing Fan Chao striding away, Zhang Ruifeng smiled awkwardly: "You don't need to be like this. Although General Fan speaks heavily, he is also worried about our safety. Haha, it's okay. We will fight next time and discuss it with General Fan.  .”

    Except for Zhang Ruifeng, no one else spoke.

    The scene was dead silent, awkward for a long time, Zheng Dayong finally calmed down, stood up and said: "I am at fault for this battle. It is true that I have been living in Nanjing for several years. I have never had the opportunity to fight for meritorious service. This time I am eager to do meritorious service, regardless of the consequences.  If you were fighting in the country, it is impossible to enter the city in this battle. First, the city is well-managed, and the number of enemy troops is unknown, and it is not known whether the enemy has firearms.  It can collapse. In order to let the guards take credit, I did not let the navy cooperate at the first time. The correct combat plan is to mobilize the army to surround the city when it is known that the city is an enemy, and then let the navy immediately fire. In this way, the enemy can be wiped out  , and not in any danger of its own."

    &nbAs well as boxing competitions, they just appeared in the Datong Army.

    As for Fan Chao, after receiving the post-war summary report in the evening, he breathed a sigh of relief after reading it. He finally curbed this arrogance.  At the same time, it has also mastered the right to speak of the missions, and it is no longer that the missions can't control anything after they go ashore.

    The role of the veteran lies in this, and Zhao Han did not arrange it randomly.

    Only experienced generals, uu reading <a href="http://www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a> can suppress that group of young people.  The admirals left by the Zheng family are not good, and they don't care about their words. Only Fan Chao who came out of Jiangxi can.

    "General, Madam Lu and Ambassador Zhang, sent someone to invite you ashore to discuss matters." The adjutant came to report.

    Fan Chao suddenly smiled. In the past, he would not have been invited.  Those young people, once they landed, didn't discuss with themselves, and they didn't know what the hell they were doing.

    "Have you prepared a horse?" Fan Chao began to put on airs.

    The adjutant said: "There are horses, and Empress Lu sent someone to send the horses, and the general asked to ride into the city to discuss matters."

    Fan Chao said quite proudly: "Very well, let's go, let's go to the city to have a look."

    (); "My Lord, please take a seat!"

    "Don't dare, my lady please, Ambassador Zhang please."

    Complacency is complacency, and demonstrations are demonstrations. In fact, Fan Chao was extremely compelled to sit in front of Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng.

    After everyone was seated, Lu Tianxiang said: "Ambassador Zhang speak."

    Zhang Ruifeng turned to Fan Chao with a smile on his face: "It's like this, General Fan. The local cavalry who defected on the battlefield learned that we would leave, and more than 20 people asked to follow, willing to bring their horses to help us fight. In addition, they are still in the city.  More than 200 slaves were found in the village, and these slaves also asked to go with us. What is General Fan's opinion on whether to take these people in?

    Fan Chao said: "You can choose some good war horses to take away. You don't want people, and you don't want bad horses. It's a waste of food to stay on the boat. As for slaves, how can this small ruined city support hundreds of slaves?  "

    Zhang Ruifeng explained: "These slaves are one of the sources of wealth for this city. The lord of this city is called Zayed. I will send cavalry from time to time, go out with pirates, and plunder people and property along the nearby coast. Persia  The remote coastal areas of Hechawoer were also the target of their looting. The population was looted back, divided into several classes, and sold to the Portuguese at different prices, and sometimes to the Dutch.”

    "It turned out that the fight today was a human trafficker." Fan Chao finally figured out why this big city was able to support 300 cavalry.

    Cai Yuncheng interjected: "Uncle, I think that the cavalry should not be taken in, but these slaves should be rescued. They are in a miserable situation. If they are not rescued, they will inevitably be sold into slavery. Even if they are released, they will not be able to go back to their hometown.  Bring them on board. In order to ensure military discipline and prevent men and women from being dirty, those female slaves can be arranged to serve on the mother ship. Those lottery slaves can also stay on the mother ship to serve. "

    Cai Yuncheng was born in poverty, and he has great sympathy for these slaves.

    At the same time, he couldn't get used to the imperial concubine going to sea.  Taking advantage of this opportunity, more women and lots were stuffed on the imperial concubine's boat.

    Fan Chao was surprised and said, "Among those slaves, there are lottery people?"

    Zhang Ruifeng explained: "The slaves here are mainly sold to the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Portugal. The three countries prefer to buy black slaves for working slaves, but hundreds of slaves can't be sold for a good price. Therefore, as long as they are young, their appearance is slightly correct.  Yes, they will be trapped and sold again, and the price can be doubled immediately. These drowned slaves were sold to India by Europeans, and the Mughals and other Indian states were used to buying lots of people to act as eunuchs.

    This is completely treating people like animals, and how to make money.

    Moreover, the person in charge of cutting off the slaves was actually a lieutenant in the city.  The main job is to deceive horses, and the part-time job is to deceive people. If the infection becomes inflamed and dies, it is a normal business loss.

    Fan Chao thought for a while and said: "Let's stay here. The women and the lottery are all under the orders of the empress. The rest of the men are assigned to be handymen on other ships, which can be regarded as replenishing the fleet in advance.

    The fleet has already begun to reduce its staff, because it is seriously ill and it is not suitable to continue to sail. Three stayed in India and one stayed in Persia.  Arrangements have been made, and officials from both countries will take care of them and take them away when the fleet returns.

    I was lucky along the way, and I didn't encounter a severe storm, otherwise the sailors would be killed and injured too much, and they would have to be recruited halfway.

    Lu Tianxiang had no objection to being forcibly stuffed on board, but only asked: "How to deal with the prisoners of war?

    Fan Chao said: "This is overseas. Your Majesty let us decide for ourselves. The principle is not to slaughter wantonly. Those prisoners of war can cut off their thumbs so that they can no longer hold weapons. In this way, there will be no more killings, and it will also be possible.  To the effect of punishing and standing up. As for the thief chief, he must beheaded!

    The next day, prisoners of war one after another, including the infantry in the city, were lined up to cut off their thumbs.

    Most of those infantry were civilians in the city.

    After this cut down, the main young and strong laborers in the city can no longer do heavy physical work that requires hands.  This city is almost abolished.

    Every family wailed, every household cried bitterly, their wives and children cried together.

    All the grain, gold and silver hoarded by Zayed were carried onto the ship by the Datong army.  Although he is a poor ghost, it is better than nothing. After all, selling slaves is quite profitable, and he will not be so poor that he runs rats in the warehouse.

    Sixteen of the captured Arabian horses were selected and taken away, and the rest were given to the local cavalry who had turned their backs and made meritorious deeds.

    Rest for a whole day and prepare to leave.

    Most of the more than 200 freed slaves were Persians and Afghans, and there were also a small number of Arabs.  They were suddenly free, and grateful to the Chinese, washed and went to work in new clothes.

    None of these slaves have the concept of a country.

    Even Persian slaves, due toIf you confirm this information, you will go to the port to meet the Chinese mission in person, and you will not be afraid of being hacked by the Datong Army on the spot.

    Lu Tianxiang learned the lesson from the previous time. When encountering such a small country, she simply refused to disembark and show up. All diplomatic tasks were entrusted to Zhang Ruifeng.

    After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Saeed asked: "Have China and Portugal ever fought?"

    Zhang Ruifeng replied: "A seaport city in China has been occupied by Portugal for nearly a hundred years. His Majesty the great emperor took back that seaport and expelled the disobedient Portuguese.'

    Saeed said happily: "Your emperor is the same as me. The Muscat castle here was built by the grape people, and I personally led the troops to take it back. But there is one bad thing, the Chinese emperor is too kind.  , to deal with the ferocious Portuguese, they should all be killed, not just expelled.'

    "That's true." Zhang Ruifeng didn't bother to argue, and went along with this person.

    Saeed said again: "Guests, please come to the castle to enjoy delicious food. But your soldiers, I can't provide food, you need to buy food yourself. I have just recovered here for two years, and there is not enough food, so I can only neglect  Chinese guests."

    "It's okay, we also brought a gift for you."

    The communication between the two sides was surprisingly smooth, and diplomatic results were quickly reached.

    ? Arab merchants from Oman will be able to trade freely in Palembang in the future, and they will have priority in replenishment compared to European merchants.

    And Seif I was willing to send envoys to accompany the Chinese mission all the way to the south.  The Arabs along the coast of East Africa will give Saif face and receive the Chinese missions as distinguished guests-many black countries in later generations, the coastal areas are occupied by Arabs.

    People controlled it, and at the same time it was colonized by Portugal.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 745 [A Story of Shipwreck and Drifting]

    ,

    "Hurricane! Hurricane!"

    "Quickly find a port to dock!"

    "Where is the Portuguese navigator? Ask him where there is a port nearby!"

    ""

    The old waterway between east and west, the most dangerous place is the Cape of Good Hope.  However, just as the Chinese envoy fleet approached Mozambique, it encountered a hurricane without warning.

    It's purely a matter of luck.

    With luck, I have traveled along the coast of East Africa for several years without encountering a single hurricane.

    Bad luck, one after another.  There will even be double cyclones and triple cyclones, and hurricanes can sweep over in teams.  It is also possible that one hurricane has just passed, and another hurricane will follow, which can last for more than half a month at the longest.

    At this moment, the wind and waves are getting bigger and bigger, and the sky is getting darker and darker.

    All ships headed towards the coast at full speed, wanting to grab the time to dock and enter the port.  There is no need for a big port, just a small natural port that can avoid wind and waves.

    The Portuguese navigators recruited from India, who were supposed to prepare for the crossing of the Cape of Good Hope, played their role in advance.  The special envoy sent by Said to accompany the ship also guided the fleet to sail towards the nearest good port.

    On the flagship, the flag commander hugged the mast with one hand, and frantically played the semaphore with the other, commanding the ships behind to follow.

    The wind suddenly became stronger, and the flag was blown directly into the air, and the rope tied around the waist fell to the sea.  Suddenly a huge wave hit, and the flag bearer was knocked out in the air. This situation is probably more ominous.

    The closer you get to the coast, the more rocky islands become.

    The sky was getting darker and darker, and the day suddenly turned into evening, and every ship could only continue sailing with the help of a compass.

    "Boom!"

    In the dark, unable to distinguish things, a warship unfortunately ran aground.

    An isolation compartment quickly filled with water, and the ship moved forward crookedly.  The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the tilted ship is in danger of capsizing at any time, but they are destined to be unable to get help.

    "Your Majesty, tie it with a rope!"

    Lu Tianxiang hugged things tightly, but she didn't know what she was hugging.  A female officer handed over a rope, and she quickly tied it around her waist, trying to command the rest of the servants, but found that everything was messed up.

    A huge wave lifted the ship, and then quickly fell down. Many crew members also rose and fell, and many of them directly hit their heads and passed out.

    "Dock, dock, dock, hurry, hurry, hurry!"

    Fan Chao roared and roared, and he didn't know how many people could hear the order.

    "General, you have to lower the sails, the wind is too strong, it will blow the boat over!"

    "Quickly go down!"

    It was even more chaotic on the deck. The sailors braved the wind and waves to operate, and some people were blown into the sea from time to time.  Many of the slaves taken in before had become apprentice sailors after more than 20 days of training, and they were also sent to the deck to help at this moment.

    "Dead, dead, dead!"

    Pan Wei was trembling with fright in the cabin, and suddenly the ship took off again.  He also flew out by mistake, his brain hit something, and he passed out just like that.

    After two full days, the hurricane finally passed through completely.

    Since the sailing route is very close to the coast, most of the ships hid in the bay smoothly.  However, the exact amount of loss has not been ascertained, and it is finally possible to move at this time.

    "General, one mast is broken, and the crew lost 12."

    "Send the boat out to see other ships."

    In fact, without Fan Chao sending people to investigate, other ships have already sent people over.

    According to some statistics, there are two missing ships and 561 missing crew members.  These include not only naval soldiers, but also support personnel and accepted slaves.  In addition, most of the surviving ships are damaged and must be repaired as soon as possible.

    The ship that Lu Tianxiang and the civil servants were on was fine because of its solid hull.  Only some of the sailors were missing, and many were injured.

    Fan Chao selected three less damaged ships and searched for the missing ships along the coast.

    Near a reef, a large number of planks were seen floating on the sea, apparently a ship had sunk.  However, a miracle also happened. Seven people climbed onto the reef and persisted until friendly troops came to rescue them.

    Another three consecutive days of searching, but nothing was found.

    The damaged ship, after simple repairs, was taken by Portuguese and Arab navigators to the port of Mozambique further south.  There is a Portuguese colony, and there are shipyards that can repair ships. It depends on whether the Portuguese are willing to help, whether they want to collect money or want to eat guns

    Deng Youzhang woke up with sore body, and felt something was wrong when he opened his eyes.If you can go back to China, you have to take some of them back and plant them.

    He also gave this food a name, the roots are like sweet potatoes, and the branches are like trees, so he named it "cassava".

    The cotton cloth on the boat became a commodity, and the natives liked it very much, and brought a lot of cassava to exchange.

    There are indigenous tribes farther away. After these indigenous people obtain cotton cloth, they take out part of the cotton cloth and go to further tribes to exchange items.  It soon attracted attention that these exquisite cotton cloths attracted more than 200 indigenous troops.

    The natives who came to invade were obviously more advanced.

    A copper dagger is pinned to the leader's waist, and the tip of the spear is also made of copper.  However, there are very few copper weapons, and most of the indigenous invaders still use stone spears as weapons.

    One evening, when the local aborigines were having dinner, more than two hundred invaders suddenly rushed out.

    The invaders first threw their spears, and the hit rate was not low, causing damage in an instant.  Then he swung the rope again, and the rope threw stones, smashing the villagers' heads and blood.

    The aboriginal villagers fled in panic, and the invaders rushed over, pulled out the thrown spears, and chased them down, screaming.

    They killed the male villagers and captured the women and children alive.  He went into the house to search for belongings, constantly moved out salt and grain, and shouted excitedly if he found cotton cloth.

    More than 20 male villagers fled to Deng Youzhang's residence one after another.

    "Yiliwala"

    The villagers pointed in the direction of their own village, stamping their feet and crying in anxiety.

    Although Deng Youzhang didn't understand what it meant, he knew he had been attacked when he saw the wounded villagers.

    "Take up your weapon and put on your armor to fend off the enemy!"

    Deng Youzhang led his troops to rescue the village, but encountered the invaders chasing him halfway.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The gunpowder has been dried and re-sifted for use.

    After a gunshot, several invaders fell down, and the rest fled in terror, thinking that the Datong army was using witchcraft.

    ?This battle was a complete victory, killing more than 60 invaders, capturing more than 20 invaders alive, and all the rest fled.  Those captives were all killed by angry villagers.

    But the village was also destroyed. There were less than thirty adult men left, and the rest were all women and children.

    Deng Youzhang called He Wenpeng over: "I'm afraid we won't be able to go back, so let's settle down here."

    He Wenpeng was silent, thinking of his wife and children at home.

    Deng Youzhang sighed and said: "There are not many men left in the village, they are all women and children. Our side is also full of men. It's better to make two places and one place, and move to the village. Those who want to marry a wife and settle down, they can live in the village.  The village chooses women as wives. The aborigines here are not ugly except for their short stature. These foreign aborigines even carry bronze utensils. We have to be careful in the future. Learn to speak the local dialect first, or teach the villagers to speak Chinese. Find  Time to inquire again to see if there are any other big tribes nearby."

    "Oh, you have the final say." He Wenpeng said helplessly.

    This is Madagascar, the central part of the island, where indigenous peoples have already established themselves.

    The race is mixed, with obvious Southeast Asian characteristics.

 Text 746 [Island Owner Evolution History 1]

    Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 746 Throughout Madagascar, there are a total of 18 races, and each race has obvious differences.

    For example, the tribes on the east coast have obvious black features in their faces and facial features, but their skin color is more like yellow people, and some settlements have Arab features.  Their most formal attire is directly Arabic robes, and there are even circumcisions from the Green Cult.

    The area where Deng Youzhang and the others are located belongs to the territory of the Sakarawa people.

    The population of the Sakarava race is not the largest, but the land accounts for one-third of the entire island.

    Decades ago, the Sakarava people established a country in the southwest, named the Kingdom of Malagasy.  But the country has collapsed, split into two major allied powers.  Under the two major forces, there are many small tribes.

    After living on this island for two months, everyone felt that there was no hope of returning home, and they married local aboriginal women one after another.

    They dragged three of the ship's guns, all of the smallest calibers.  The ones with larger calibers can't be moved at all, so they can only be left on the seashore to be exposed to the wind and sun.

    Li Luosheng, the incense owner, became a busy man. He moved the Mazu shrine to the village, and all the married people asked him to preside over the ceremony.  Those brown-skinned indigenous women followed the heaven and earth in a muddleheaded way. They only knew that they were going to marry, but they didn't know the meaning of such worship.

    ?After another three months, the two sides continued to communicate and integrate, and learned some daily expressions from each other, but they still didn't know how to express more complicated content.

    One day, the surviving indigenous man approached Deng Youzhang to talk about the matter.

    The young man's name is Ka Luo, he is about 1.6 meters tall: "Deng, let's go"

    "Where are you going?" Deng Youzhang asked.

    Caro pointed to Deng Youzhang's room. He entered the room and picked up one and put it down, and picked up another and put it down again: "Take it, let's go!"

    Seeing that Deng Youzhang still didn't understand, Caro became more and more anxious, pointing to the distance and saying, "Go, over there."

    Deng Youzhang stepped in that direction, but Ka Luo held him back.  Go back to the house, pick up the things, and say: "Take, let's go, over there."

    It is not clear at all, no matter whether you use Chinese or the local dialect here, you cannot communicate this important message-migration!

    The terrain here is a plateau, and above the plateau, there are many plains, hills and valleys.  The aborigines are semi-nomadic and semi-agricultural, and they only live in one place for one or two years.

    They would move to fertile river valleys, burn wasteland and plant land, and take their cattle and sheep to the nearby grasslands to graze.  In one or two years, or two or three years, the soil fertility will not be enough, and it is necessary to go to the next valley to burn wasteland.

    The natives packed up their things one after another, preparing for a migration.

    The wife wanted to move out of nowhere, but the Chinese husbands of course refused, and almost every household was quarreling in confusion.

    There are only more than 20 surviving adult male aborigines.  They can't survive Chinese men. This tribe is already in the hands of the Chinese.

    A navy soldier from Guangdong grabbed the soil from the field, found Deng Youzhang and said: "The local people don't know how to accumulate fertilizer, and the soil fertility is getting worse every year. This is similar to the Guoshan Yao in Guangdong. They change places every two or three years, and then start again.  Burn wasteland and cultivate land. They must be taught to accumulate manure, and the field must be leveled. What do you mean by stones everywhere in the field?"

    "I understand." Deng Youzhang nodded.

    In Madagascar, which is a little bigger, some tribes have already built terraces, while others are still slash-and-burn.

    This river valley, in Deng Youzhang's opinion, is not bad, and after the migration, it has to work hard to open up wasteland.

    He gathered all the Chinese people, and after assigning tasks, they went home and brought out their wives.  Some people not only married wives, but even had cheap children.

    The Chinese took the lead in clearing the stones in the fields, and the aborigines followed suit in a daze.  In fact, they have been tidying the fields for a long time, but there is no such large-scale collective labor.  Even the excrement of cattle and sheep in the grassland was picked up and piled up one after another.

    Large and small broken stones were picked up from the fields and piled up in the village.

    These crushed stones can be used to build walls.

    The messy land was tidied piece by piece, and Deng Youzhang even redistributed the land.  After regularizing the land, the retting manure was sprinkled on the land to increase its fertility, mixed with a lot of plant ash.

    After more than a month of tossing around like this, they organized to dig aqueducts again.

    The amount of engineering is not large, mainly because the indigenous people do not know how to do it.  There is not even a wooden barrel for carrying water, and all the water is fetched in clay pots. The rice is also grown upland rice, and the yield of rice is much lower than that of rice.

    In fact, it is not suitable for growing rice here because the annual precipitation is relatively small.

    ? The further north the worse, the proper tropical?, both used a lot of slaves.  "

    "Grazing, keeping slaves, and migrating are similar to the Mongols, but they don't have war horses," Deng Youzhang said. "This kind of tribe cannot be allowed to grow and grow. You have to lead troops to fight. Their slaves are rescued and compiled."  Every household is the people. Robbing some more women and children will increase our population.”

    Deng Youzhang's adaptability is very strong, and he has completely changed his thinking. Many rules of the Datong Army are no longer acceptable.

    The entire island of Madagascar is in a primitive society and a slave society.  The more powerful the tribe or country, the more slaves there will be.

    For example, the Kingdom of Merina in the central plateau is currently the most powerful force on the island, adopting a three-level social structure of nobles, commoners, and slaves.

    Deng Youzhang did not intend to raise slaves, but plundering the population was necessary.  Especially in the northern grassland area, where there is not much food to grow, the tribes there will invade instead.  Then take the initiative to go out, reduce the enemy's population, and increase your own population.

    ? On the 382nd day after arriving in Madagascar, Deng Youzhang led a hundred troops into battle, taking the first step of their expansion.

 Text 747 [The Evolution History of the Island Owner Part 2]

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 747 Under Deng Youzhang's command, there are doctors and carpenters.

    Carpenters are especially valued, and several aboriginal orphans were given to carpenters as apprentices.

    The various tools of the carpenter come from the ship.  As long as there are enough people and enough wood, another dock can be built, and the boat can even be repaired.  Because the carpenter on board was originally responsible for repairing and maintaining the ship, so that the severely damaged ship could sail to the nearest shipyard.

    With the efforts of carpenters, they have produced plows, and plowing has evolved from manpower to animal power.

    It's a pity that there is no blacksmith, and there is no iron ore nearby. The plowshare can only be ground with stones, and the chain is easy to fall off when plowing.

    As a means of transportation, more than a dozen wheelbarrows were produced due to the existence of carpenters.

    ?One hundred troops set out, and more than one hundred civilians helped to transport food.  Most of these folk husbands are indigenous women, and the lack of manpower can only be arranged in this way.

    After more than ten days of stop and go, Deng Youzhang ordered to stop the march when he was about to approach the goal.

    It wasn't until night fell that all the staff set out again in black, each carrying several simple torches.

    This semi-nomadic tribe is relatively large, with an estimated population of nearly a thousand.  They live by a small river, and many crops are planted on both sides.

    The house is similar to a yurt, with wood as a support, and then cow and sheep skins are draped on it.  On top of the cow and sheep skin, some hay was spread to prevent the skin from being exposed to direct sunlight.

    The livestock are kept in pens after dark, all in the open air, only fenced with wood.

    The treatment of slaves is similar to that of cattle and sheep, but at least they have a roof to protect them from the rain.

    Half of the one hundred army and more than one hundred grain transporters crossed the river downstream.

    The river is very shallow, only reaching the waist, and you can walk across it.

    These semi-nomadic natives were defenseless at night, and all had fallen asleep, and they didn't even know that the intruders lit the torches.

    The soldiers raised their torches and touched them, while the civilian husband stayed on the periphery, and inserted the extra torches that were lit on the ground at intervals.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    In the silent night, bursts of drums suddenly sounded.

    Deng Youzhang cursed in a low voice: "Damn, these aborigines are so stupid, they agreed to set fire to the house and then beat the drum!" He didn't care much, and said to the herald beside him, "Blow the horn and attack!"

    More than a dozen aborigines beat the leather drums used for dancing.

    The rest of the natives, each holding torches in both hands, stood outside, waving and shouting, and a large number of torches were burning on the nearby ground.

    The Han soldiers held torches and shouted to kill them. When they got close to the house, they lit the fire and quickly ignited the hay covered in the outer layer.

    The tribe native who was attacked suddenly woke up from his dream, and hurriedly ran outside the house with a weapon.  They saw many torches all around, shouts came from all sides, and several houses in the village were also on fire.

    Cowardly, take your family and run away in panic.

    The brave ones raised their weapons and charged indiscriminately, not even knowing where to fight.

    However, one hundred Han soldiers were divided into four teams, and they set fire to the houses in an orderly manner, and immediately cooperated with the attack when encountering the enemy.

    In order to save gunpowder, guns were not used.

    ?It is enough to rely solely on strategy and organizational strength. It is obvious that less is used to fight more, but when it comes to local battlefields, more than a dozen Han soldiers always join hands to surround and kill a few aboriginals.

    The aborigines were killed and fled in all directions. They didn't know where there were enemies, so they completely relied on instinct and ran towards the direction without torches.

    Busy in the middle of the night, the sky is getting brighter.

    For a night attack of this level, you can attack the Tartars, let alone a group of aborigines.  None of the Han soldiers, including the aborigines, were injured.

    However, this tribe of nearly a thousand people was crushed and defeated, and most of them fled in the dark.

    ? 153 ??women were captured, 26 men were captured, 82 children were captured, and 74 male and female slaves were rescued.  The grain seized was not much, but there were more than 1,700 cattle and sheep, and two bronze spears were also seized.

    "Do you want to take the captive man back? I'm afraid there is a hidden danger of rebellion." He Wenpeng asked.

    Deng Youzhang said: "I can't let it go, can I?"

    He Wenpeng said: "The Datong army is not allowed to kill prisoners. Even here, some rules can't be broken. Once the rules are broken, people's hearts will not be easy to gather. Sooner or later we will become like Tartars. Today's night attack is already very brutal.  If you have no grudges or grievances, come to arrest people and rob food, we will soon become bandits."

    Deng Youzhang sighed and said: "Brother He, do you think I want to be a bandit? There are barbarians everywhere here, and we have few people. We must grow as soon as possible."

    He Wenpeng was silent for a while, then let out a mouthfulTian Li returned to the team urgently.

    Deng Youzhang was very depressed. He still planned to hide in the ravine to farm. He never thought that he would provoke enemies for no reason.

    Outside the village, a wooden wall has been built, which is actually a wooden fence to guard against wild animals.

    ?Forty men were sent around to ambush on the mountain. Deng Youzhang led the remaining soldiers to guard the village, and the three cannons brought from the boat were also dragged out.

    Prince Haru led his troops to the outside of the village, but instead of attacking immediately, he sent someone over to shout.

    "We are the army of the God King. Under the sky and within the land, it is the land of the God King. You must be loyal to the God King. Immediately hand over ten men and ten women as slaves loyal to the God King. And this  Planting clothevery time you go through the rainy season, you have to hand over enough cloth as a tribute to the god king"

    This guy talked a lot, some special terms, Deng Youzhang couldn't understand at all.

    The man finally said: "If you don't obey the rule of the god king, your village will be burned, your men will be killed, and your women will be captured!"

    Deng Youzhang found that the other party had finished speaking and did not reveal anything more, so he smacked his lips and said, "Let's fire."

    7017

 Text 748 [The Evolution History of the Island Owner Part 3]

    ?Zhen Juan Yishui Shoal 748 "Boom boom boom!"

    Three cannonballs were fired, and the shells flew out.

    Whether it was the enemy aborigines or the aborigines on the Han side, they were all panicked by the sound of the guns.

    The smoke from the artillery proved that the "thunder" came from there, and they subconsciously thought that it was calling for thunder and lightning.

    One shell hit the most sideways, passed the native soldiers, and landed behind the slave auxiliary soldiers, killing and wounding only two slaves.  The other two shells landed in the crowd of native soldiers, bouncing and rolling to crazily harvest the native's calves.

    "GodThor?" Prince Haru stood on the spot blankly. He was so shocked that he even forgot to run away.

    On the island of Madagascar, there are various legends about gods, many of which are misunderstandings about foreign civilizations.

    For example, the Antaimoro tribe living in the southeast coast, they already have papermaking technology, and the nobles are proficient in Arabic characters, divination and astrology.

    In the legend of the Antemoro people, the messenger of the gods came from the sea, bringing advanced knowledge and technology.  Only nobles in the tribe are qualified to learn the knowledge of God, and commoners who steal it will be punished with death!

    If one day, the Han people suddenly left by boat, it is estimated that the aborigines in this village will have a similar situation-the nobles mastered Chinese and Chinese characters, began to worship Mazu, and it is popular to worship and get married, and they have rice planting, aqueducts, wheelbarrows and cattle.  farming technology.  However, the mixed blood left by the Han people must be nobles for generations, and they regard themselves as descendants of gods.

    Just when Prince Haru was in a daze with fright, some aboriginals had already fled in panic, and some aboriginals knelt down to worship the gods on the spot.

    "Blow the charge!"

    "Toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot toot~~~~~~"

    The musketeers held bayonets, the melee soldiers held waist knives and spears, and the aboriginal villagers also held wooden spears, pushing open the fence gate and rushing out.

    A large number of indigenous enemy troops turned and fled, and more and more people knelt down and worshiped gods.

    "Let's go!"

    Prince Haru was dragged by his generals, and he was defeated and fled in a daze.

    This scene is often staged between colonists and aborigines.  For example, when Spain came to America, the Aztecs regarded war horses as fetishes. They didn't dare to attack at first, and they turned around and fled when they encountered cavalry.

    Of course, after getting acquainted with each other and fighting more, the aborigines can still overcome their fear.

    At this moment, those slave soldiers kneeled the most.  They have been instilled with the concept of obedience since they were young. Nobles are descendants of gods. As slaves, they must obey the will of the gods. The Han people in front of them are obviously gods, and their divinity is much more authentic than the nobles.

    Prince Haru ran wildly all the way, and suddenly there were sporadic gunshots on the hillside of the valley, and then forty Han soldiers rushed out.

    The natives who were already frightened jumped into the river in fright.  No more weapons, no food and luggage, and frantically swam to the other side to escape.

    Prince Haru went ashore in the lower reaches. Frightened, he counted the number of people, and there were only a dozen or so soldiers left around him.  One after another, more than a hundred people came to meet up, and fled back to their capital in embarrassment.  Due to the loss of supplies, they could only intimidate the tribes along the way and order those tribes to provide food.

    Throughout the battle, it was inexplicable to fight, and it was also inexplicable to win.

    "Count the prisoners." Deng Youzhang couldn't laugh or cry.

    There were more than 800 captives, and half of them surrendered on their own knees, without any resistance at all.

    In addition, a large amount of copper spears and food were also seized. Are these natives specially here to donate supplies?

    After interrogating a few captives, Li Luosheng approached Deng Youzhang with a smile: "These natives think we are the God of Thunder. Why don't we call it the Ministry of Thunder God, claiming to be the Protoss, release some prisoners back, and let them help spread the word. As long as the reputation spreads  Now, no tribe will dare to attack, and some tribes will even take the initiative to seek refuge."

    Deng Youzhang also interrogated himself, nodded and said: "All the slave soldiers will stay here, and they will be assigned households to the people to farm and produce. If there are outstanding performers, the women captured before will be arranged to be their wives. The rest of the native soldiers will be released.  Let them help spread the word."

    Li Luosheng was originally the incense master on the ship, and his main job was to worship and worship Mazu, and he was too good at pretending to be a ghost.

    He gathered the captives together and proclaimed: "We are the descendants of the god of thunder. The god of thunder lives in the sky and can call thunder and lightning. If the god of thunder is angry, he will also attract hurricanes to destroy everything. You attack the gods for no reason, and you have already angered  Thor. Choose ten leaders and execute them all. For the rest, I will give you another chance. After you leave, you must spread the reputation of Thor, so that you can get forgiveness from Thor!"

    ? For the captives who were caught in resistance or escape, ten people were selected to be executed to establish their prestige.nbsp; Counting the slaves, 16,000 troops were dispatched this time, and all the manpower that could be mobilized was mobilized.

    The southern tribe loyal to the Han people bore the brunt of the attack.  The tribe was devastated, more than half of the men were killed, most of the rest were made slaves, and only a few dozen people fled to Han villages for help.

    "Damn it, it's not over yet!"

    Deng Youzhang was so angry that he wanted to farm and develop in peace, but those damn natives in the south kept coming to interfere with his plans.

    He Wenpeng said: "Let's destroy it easily. The Boyna tribe occupies the most fertile land, and the conditions are much better than ours. Destroy this army and take the city. Then, migrate two-thirds of the land  , leaving a third to develop here."

    "Then it will be destroyed!" Deng Youzhang said depressedly.

    Neither of them took the indigenous coalition army seriously. The 16,000 army seemed scary, but many tribes were forced to send troops.

    These tribes not only send troops, but also get food.  If you lose, it's yours, and if you win, it's no good. The spoils are all taken by two or three big tribes.  During the actual battle, they will observe the situation, and if they go well, they will swarm up, and if they lose, they may choose to defect on the spot.

    Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 749 A river valley where tens of thousands of troops are stationed.

    ?Using the tribe as the unit, there is a group in the east and a group in the west, and there are strict boundaries between each other.

    At night, the sky is full of stars.

    The astrologer sits by the campfire, holding many wooden boards, each with a pattern.  After working so carefully for a while, he suddenly stood up, opened his arms and shouted.

    A temporary altar with a cow placed on it, which is a sacrifice to the gods.

    When the astrologer chattered, the king was overjoyed and asked the speaker to announce the result of the divination.

    The speaker is also an official position, responsible for conveying and carrying out the king's orders.  He climbed up the hillside and announced loudly toward the river valley: "The wise astrologer has communicated with the supreme sun god. The Thor tribe in the north believes in an evil god. That evil god will bring drought and hurricanes.  Kill them all. Now, follow His Majesty the King and pray to the gods for victory!"

    In the west of Madagascar, the indigenous people believe that everything is animistic.

    The god of creation is called "Zalahari", and there is a sun god under it.  The Creator God has disappeared and no longer cares about world affairs, so the Sun God is the most authoritative.  They like to smear sunflower-like signs on their faces with paint, so that they can get the blessing of the sun god.

    In addition, a mountain, a river, a treeall have spirituality and can be worshipped.

    The king is the messenger of the sun god in the world, responsible for ruling the people of the whole world, and everyone must be loyal to the king.

    But there is no high priest here, but a kind of royal astrologer, and their astrology is likely to come from Arabia.

    After a series of ceremonies, the king sanctified the expedition, which was the conquest of the sun god against the evil thunder god.  The warriors who died in this battle can enter the Kingdom of God after death and receive the blessing of the gods forever.

    For a while, morale burst.

    Even in those small tribes, the native soldiers were eager to try, but only the tribal leaders expressed doubts.  Because in normal times, the leaders of small tribes would also use gods to fool the tribe.

    In the meandering and narrow river valley, more than 10,000 people moved slowly, dragging them into a long snake stretching for two or three miles.

    Damo is the "prince" of a small tribe. His father is old and frail. This time he led the tribe to the expedition.  In fact, he was very reluctant to come, because last year's typhoon severely reduced grain production.  There was not enough to eat, and I had to bring my own dry food to fight the war. There will definitely be a famine when I go back this year.

    Walking ahead of Damo is the Longniao tribe. He knows the leader of the Longniao tribe, and the Longniao tribe is not doing well this year.

    The ostrich is much bigger than the ostrich, and one egg is as big as seven ostrich eggs.  This kind of bird cannot fly and is almost extinct. If you are lucky, you will see one or two.

    This river valley is too far away, and Damo has never been here before, so he looked curiously at the scenery along the way.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Three cannon shots were heard from the other side of the river.

    The terrain on the opposite bank is steeper and not suitable for large-scale marches, but the erection of forts can cover this side with firepower.

    There are still nearly ten miles away from the village of the Han people, and the battle started early.

    "Thor is angry!"

    Hearing the rumbling cannon, the natives began to panic, stopped and looked at the other side at a loss.

    Although the king is the messenger of the sun god in the world, the god of thunder is not something that ordinary people can deal with.  The shell fell into the crowd of two small tribes, and the nearby natives knelt down in fright and prayed, silently begging Thor to forgive him.

    King Zahal pulled out his bronze sword and shouted against the sun: "The sun god has given me supernatural power, and I will bless you with supernatural power. All the warriors who died in battle today can enter the kingdom of God and serve the gods forever and ever.  Rush to the other side of the river and kill the followers of the evil god!"

    A large number of messengers and speakers were sent from the king to deliver news to the various tribes.

    The astrologer also took out the wooden sign, pretended to be a ghost, and shouted: "The gods told me that we will win this battle!"

    "Bless the Sun God!"

    The nobles around the king shouted, and the rest of the civilian soldiers followed suit.  The shouts spread to both sides, and finally more than 10,000 people shouted collectively, which not only prevented the collapse, but also boosted morale.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Another three shells hit, the sun god was obviously not blessed, and some unlucky ones were smashed to pieces.

    "Kill across the river!"

    Thousands of soldiers rushed to jump into the river, just swimming with bare hands.

    Although they have shipbuilding technology, they can build some small boats.  But the rivers here all run from east to west, but this time the troops were dispatched from south to north, so there was no problem at all."One cannot stand still and be dumbfounded."

    The various tribes on both sides showed obvious hesitation and dilly-dally gathered towards the king.

    On the frontal battlefield, Deng Youzhang's soldiers had completely gone down the hillside.  The front row is full of musketeers, with swords and shields guarding them, and the shields are simple wooden shields.  The spearmen followed, and the native soldiers even further behind.

    The two sides approached a little bit, and the enemy was already throwing stones.

    It was a primitive catapult made of wooden sticks and ropes. If it hits the body, it will be bruised directly. If it hits the head, it is likely to pass out on the spot.

    "Puff puff……"

    The stones fell on the wooden shield one after another, and occasionally the legs and feet were hit.  There was even a Han soldier who had his tibia cracked by a stone.

    The two sides continued to approach, and the native spearmen were ready to throw their spears.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    A burst of gunshots rang out, and then gunpowder smoke rose, and the native soldiers facing each other fell down.

    "Thor's weapon! Run!"

    The native soldiers who were not shot turned around and fled in fright, thinking that the firecrackers could shoot continuously.  The native nobles ran the fastest, completely ignoring the king, and ran in the direction they came, causing thousands of tribal soldiers to disperse together.

    The tribal soldiers on the other side did not dare to return the same way, so they jumped into the river to escape.

    There are also some tribes, under the leadership of the leader, collectively kneel down and ask for surrender.

    Damo didn't run away, nor did he kneel, but said to his tribe: "The king has failed, and Thor is the true god. Come with me to help Thor fight! Kill the king!"

    If you kill the king, you don't have to hand in this year's tribute

    The king wanted to gather the rout, but no one listened to him at all, so he could only flee with the prince.

    "Charge!"

    "On the bayonet!"

    The Han soldiers pointed at the king and chased after them, and the native soldiers they brought with them also started chasing and killing them with red eyes.

    7017

 Text 750 [The end of the island owner's evolutionary history]

    Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 750 The king fled desperately, while Deng Youzhang chased him weakly.

    There are really too many enemies. Although they have all collapsed, they cannot be controlled by hundreds of people.  They can only catch up and kill them, even if they kneel down on the ground, they don't dare to receive the surrendered soldiers, they just kill them and drive them away, so as not to block the narrow river valley passage.

    The king probably had a good life, he was chubby and had a beer belly, and he was out of breath after running for a while.

    Seeing the pursuers approaching, the prince didn't care much, left his father and ran faster.

    A large number of rout soldiers swam across the river and fought on the other side of the river.  Some tribes have feuds. After leaving the main battlefield, they take the opportunity to raid the hostile tribes and wipe out their young and strong main force.

    Although it belongs to the patrilineal society here, it also has the concept of family.  However, vendettas and annexations were commonplace. As long as the captured women and children were not enslaved, they would basically not think about revenge, but let the flow flow and integrate into the new tribe.

    At this moment, there were at least a thousand people fighting on the other side of the river, fighting in a mess there.

    On the main battlefield, although Dahmo yelled to help Thor kill the king, he attacked the tribe who was close to the king.  As long as this tribe is wiped out, Damo's tribe can take the opportunity to expand and capture more fertile river valleys.

    On both sides of the river, fighting was everywhere, and the Han soldiers became supporting roles instead.

    "Don't kill, catch alive!"

    The king was too tired to run, so he simply threw away his weapons and sat there waiting to die.

    As for the prince, he had long been mixed into the rout, and he no longer knew where he had fled.

    "Don't chase, you won't be able to kill them all. Hurry up and receive the soldiers and prisoners," He Wenpeng said, "The most important thing is to capture the enemy's food and livestock!"

    ? These indigenous marches are separated by tribes, and logistics are also in charge of each.  Grain and livestock are everywhere, here and there, here and there.  Deng Youzhang went to receive the prisoners first, and then asked the prisoners to be responsible for moving the food, and transported the scattered military food to one place for storage.

    In this battle, more than 30 Han soldiers were injured, all of whom were hit by stones.  One of them had a broken tibia.

    And there were as many as six tribes who took the opportunity to defect.

    Da Mo even led his tribe to kneel down: "Please let the messenger of Thunder God be our new king!"

    Deng Youzhang didn't know the story of the enfeoffment of the Zhou family, but he already had similar thoughts at this time.  These six tribes who voluntarily surrendered can be arranged in different places. When they lead troops to conquer the city, the territory of the six tribes will just defend the capital.

    There were more than 3,000 natives who were blocked behind and had no time to escape. At this time, they were all taken prisoners, waiting anxiously for release.

    "I understand," Li Luosheng approached Deng Youzhang, "these more than 3,000 captives came from seven tribes. One of the tribes, who had a close relationship with the chieftain, turned against the natives and asked to kill them or reward them as slaves."

    Deng Youzhang said: "Since you are close to the king, let's kill them all. We are going to attack the city next, and take prisoners with impure thoughts. God knows if there will be a rebellion at a critical moment."

    "Siege?" Li Luosheng asked doubtfully.

    Deng Youzhang said: "Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, hurry to attack the city. The land there is fertile, and it is at the mouth of the sea. It will be more convenient for development, shipbuilding and navigation in the future. Two-thirds of the Han people, with two-thirds  The aborigines migrated to the city to develop. The remaining one-third will stay here for the time being."

    It is to lay down the city as the main base, and Leishen Village will be left as a sub-mine.

    Soldiers are very fast, and the troops will be dispatched the next day.

    Since arriving on the island until now, two Han people have died, both of whom died of malaria.

    In this dispatch of troops, those with a broken calf were left behind, and more than 20 others were injured.  The rest of the Han people, together with their family members and two-thirds of the aborigines, packed their bags and rushed to the city together.

    The six defected tribes, about 2,600 people, and more than 2,800 captives, all went out together.

    Those captives have been promised.  As long as the city can be conquered, not only will they be given freedom, but their tribe will also be treated kindly.

    In this way, there will be six thousand troops!

    It's not particularly outrageous. When the Spanish colonists attacked the Aztec Empire, there were one or two hundred Spaniards and tens of thousands of indigenous coalition troops to fight.

    All the way to the south, I met the tribe on the way, and the accompanying indigenous servant army suddenly had more than 300 people crying loudly.

    But it was a disbanded army. Since they had no food, they could only rob the tribes they encountered along the way.  Of course those who were robbed would resist, so war broke out, and more than 300 weeping servants came from this looted tribe.

    Li Luo; After more than ten minutes of fighting, Prince Haru's army began to collapse.  The native warriors from various ministries took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill them, and they continued to kill them all the way to the city.

    After chasing and chasing, killing and killing, it becomes a looting of the city.

    There was obviously not enough looting in the city, and many tribes went out of the city to sit on small boats docked by the river, but robbed the villages between the water nets.

    Deng Youzhang was so anxious that he jumped into a rage: "Let them stop quickly, don't loot and kill randomly!"

    It's no use for birds, and it can't be kept at all.

    After fighting for a whole day, the leaders of various ministries gathered one after another.  They took the initiative to hand over a portion of the population and food they had grabbed as trophies to Deng Youzhang, and kept the rest to take away.

    The king's wife, daughter-in-law and daughter, the indigenous leaders did not dare to keep them privately, and sent all of them to Deng Youzhang.

    Fearing that the ministries would rebel, Deng Youzhang couldn't punish him.  After all, this belongs to the local tradition, they are the outsiders, and their rules are the "nonsense".

    After occupying the city, Deng Youzhang began to establish a system.

    This guy doesn't dare to call himself king or emperor, at least not yet.  He still served as the governor, and all the other Han people were appointed officials, and he gave a lot of land to the Han people.

    The Han people who stayed in Leishen Village were given a lot of extra food due to the relatively poor land.  After Leishen Village develops for a few more years, the aborigines have fully mastered farming techniques, and the Han people there will migrate to the city.

    Every Han Chinese, a big landlord, was a captive slave or commoner who was assigned to a Han landlord as a tenant—except artisans, who still lived in the city as freedmen.

    Even a few Persian slaves, who came here with the Han people, were allocated land as small landlords.

    The earliest aborigines who followed the Han people divided their fields and became self-cultivated farmers.

    All the Han people have become vested interests, and all have become landlords. Who remembers the land system of the Datong New Dynasty?

    Of course, slaves are no longer raised, and slaves become tenants, which can be regarded as a kind of social progress.

    If natural evolution, the disintegration of slavery requires the development of agricultural technology and agricultural tools.  In a typical slave society, due to the backwardness of agriculture, owner farmers can only plant a small amount of land, and the collective labor of slaves is the most suitable for productivity.

    The Han people brought more advanced agricultural technology. Although there were no iron farm tools, the production conditions for self-cultivating farmers were already available.

    The leaders of the six tribes who surrendered first were all appointed as magistrates, each responsible for a large area, and according to the specific situation, they paid tribute to grain every year, which is actually equivalent to enfeoffing princes in the pre-Qin era.  The number of Han people is too small, and the knowledge and culture here is too backward to support a more advanced bureaucratic system.

    ? For several other tribes that followed the war, the leader was appointed as the mayor of the town, and the ruling area was relatively small.

    The county magistrate and the mayor must send their sons here to learn Chinese, Chinese characters and farming techniques.  If there are unmarried daughters, at least one must be sent over to marry the Han people.

    It is completely a hodgepodge of various social systems.

    Although he only actually controls one city and one village, Deng Youzhang's nominal territory accounts for about one-fifteenth of Madagascar.  Well, it's not very big, about the size of an island of Taiwan.

    Mozambique was not a country at first, nor was it a large area, it was just a small island.

 Text 753【The British royal family in exile】

    Madrid, Spain.

    King Charles I of England was cut off by Cromwell, and his wife and children all went into exile.

    In the middle school history textbook, it tells about the restoration of the Stuart Dynasty.  Charles II, the protagonist of the restoration, was enjoying himself in the manor at this time, drinking and drinking until the dark in the daytime.

    "Charles, you can't do this, you should cheer up." Mother Maria tried hard to persuade.

    Since he is still only a prince in exile, he cannot be called Charles II. His real name is Charles James Stuart.

    Charles, who was only in his early twenties, smiled drunkenly: "Mother, I know, I will regain the throne. But this does not affect my drinking. When I wake up tomorrow, I will practice riding."

    This guy has been in exile since he was 12 years old, worked as a beggar, and slept on the streets.  I have also learned crafts, worked as a craftsman, and have a lot of messy skills.

    Over the years, his personality is precocious, cynical, and dissolute.

    Once you get the money, you must enjoy it to your heart's content. Anyway, let's spend all the money first.

    The mother, son, brother and sister first sought support from France.  His mother, Maria, was the aunt of the King of France.

    However, King Louis XIV of France has not yet been in power, and the relationship between the Queen Mother of France and Maria is not good, so the French government refuses to help them restore.

    So they went to the Netherlands again, because the younger sister of Charles II was the wife of the Prince of Orange.  It is a pity that the Prince of Orange, who is still wearing crotch pants at this time, has been abolished from the Dutch ruling position, and cannot provide effective help at all.

    In desperation, the family ran to Spain for help.

    On the way, Charles II's younger brother, James, chose to separate from his family and resolutely joined the French army (that is, James II).

    Maria said in a serious tone: "Spain refuses to provide support, we have to go to Italy again. You are not allowed to squander the remaining money, otherwise we will not even have enough travel expenses."

    Along the way, there were aristocratic relatives who gave money, and Charles II enjoyed it when he had money, and went into exile when he ran out of money.

    The quality of life of this family is either noble or beggar.

    Charles smiled eccentrically and said: "Mother, stop fantasizing. The Medici family and the Duke of Savoy are unlikely to give us any support. Of course, we can get some money. The last thing they need is money."

    Maria's sister, married to the Duke of Savoy.

    Maria's mother was from the Medici family.

    "Mom, brother!"

    The exiled princess Elizabeth suddenly rushed in and said pleasantly: "I heard from the nobles in the city that the Chinese envoys are in Portugal and have brought a lot of Chinese noble knights. If we can get help from China, maybe we can restore the country!"

    Maria's eyes lit up: "It is said that the emperor of China was once an exiled prince. He had the same experience as us! Those who came to Europe are only Chinese envoys. I am afraid they dare not make their own claims. But we can go to China and persuade China  Emperor, let him send an army to defeat the rebel Cromwell!"

    Charles, who was drunk, also became excited: "China should be very interesting, and it must be interesting along the way. Maybe you can go to explore primitive islands."

    Maria was very speechless to this son, heartless, and didn't care about restoration at all.

    In fact, even if Charles became Charles II, he was still so heartless.

    He has superb political means, can always resolve crises easily, and is humorous and tolerant.  But as long as it doesn't interfere with his enjoyment of life, he doesn't care about anything.

    As a king, his wife was infertile, and he didn't bother to divorce and remarry, but he had more than ten sons with his mistress.  The legitimacy of the illegitimate child is too low, and he will definitely not be able to succeed, and he doesn't care about it.  Anyway, enjoy yourself until you die, and let your younger brother return to the country to be the king after death.

    The family soon left Spain by boat and went to Portugal to see the Chinese envoy.

    Maria went to seek help, but Charles simply wanted to visit China.  The prince, who has been in exile since he was 12 years old, is used to the world. He does not hope for anyone, and his philosophy of life is to enjoy life to the fullest

    Lisbon.

    The Chinese mission has been staying for more than half a month, attending banquets twice in three days, and also taking time to conduct consultations and negotiations during the period.

    On behalf of the Chinese court, Zhang Ruifeng signed the Treaty of Lisbon with King Jo?o IV:

    First, China recognizes Portugal as an independent country and recognizes Joao IV as the king of Portugal.

    Second, Portugal recognizes Macau as Chinese territory, and there is no longer any dispute between the two countries regarding Macau.He said, "I heard that Ma'am used to be a French princess?"

    Maria replied: "Louis XIV, King of France, is my own nephew."

    Lu Tianxiang asked again: "The ruler of the Netherlands is the wife's grandson?"

    Maria replied: "The current Prince of Orange is indeed my grandson, but he was illegally deprived of the honor of ruling the Netherlands by the damned Dutch businessman."

    Lu Tianxiang asked again: "Madam is from the famous Medici family?"

    Maria replied: "My mother's surname is Medici."

    Lu Tianxiang looked at Zhang Ruifeng, Zhang Ruifeng already understood.

    They have been in Portugal for more than half a month. Apart from attending banquets and negotiations, they are also frantically inquiring about things about Europe.

    The British queen in exile in front of me can be taken in completely, and can be used in many places.

    Lu Tianxiang stopped talking, Zhang Ruifeng said: "Her Royal Highness, we still have to visit various countries. If it is convenient, can Her Royal Highness accompany us?"

    "Of course!" Maria was overjoyed.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 754【The Anglo-Dutch War】

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 754 "Entry prohibited?"

    ? When the Chinese mission came to Spain, it was the first time that it encountered a merciless rejection.

    Prince Charles said with a smile: "This is normal. Philip IV is known as the 'King of the Earth'. His most embarrassing thing, apart from losing the Thirty Years War, was the independence of the Netherlands and Portugal. He recognized the independence of the Netherlands  , that’s because the Netherlands itself is very powerful. As for Portugal, Philip IV does not recognize it, and he always thinks that he is also the king of Portugal.”

    Picking up the binoculars carelessly, Charles observed the situation in the port and said, "But you, have signed a treaty with Jo?o IV and openly supported the independence of Portugal. As the king of the earth, Philip IV has been disgraced, how could he allow China to  The ship docked? Also, the Philippines is the treasure of Philip IV, but China seized Luzon Island by force.  Go to war with China!"

    Zhang Ruifeng was a little surprised: "His Royal Highness is very familiar with the situation in various countries?"

    "What's the use of familiarity? I don't even have a knight around me." Prince Charles grinned, showing no sign of frustration.

    This guy is smart, witty, humorous, bohemian, superb riding skills, and heartless. In fact, he is very suitable to be a ranger.  As for being king, he's just too out of tune.

    Since it is impossible to dock in Spain, the fleet can only continue sailing, planning to visit Britain and France first.

    Zhang Ruifeng asked: "Your Highness, can you tell us about the current situation in Europe?"

    Charles said: "France is fighting a civil war, known as the Fronde War. Cardinal and French Prime Minister Mazarin, at the end of the Thirty Years War, borrowed money from merchants to raise military expenses, and paid taxes to merchants as a means of repayment. Now that merchants have  The right to levy taxes, don’t you collect taxes to the death? The local provinces have been squeezed out, and the French government and businessmen are eyeing Paris. Coincidentally with the victory of Prince Condé, the Queen Mother and the Prime Minister took advantage of the victory of the foreign war to arrest the rebels  The leader of the movement. The people of Paris were angry, and finally an uprising broke out. Prince Condé led the army back to Paris to quell the rebellion, and finally ended the civil war."

    Such a big thing, I didn't find out about it in Portugal.

    Zhang Ruifeng was shocked by this: "The king was fighting a war and borrowed money from merchants. Because he couldn't pay back the money, he asked the merchants to collect taxes and deduct them by themselves?"

    "Although it's stupid, it's true," Charles said with a smile, "Prime Minister Mazarin's brother is a big businessman, and he made a fortune out of it."

    Zhang Ruifeng thinks that European countries are very strange. The appointment and dismissal of officials and the collection of taxes are the country's most important weapons.  No matter how corrupt the Ming Dynasty was, it would not directly hand over the country's tax collection power to businessmen as a means of repaying loans.

    This kind of tax package system can only be implemented. In a certain area and a certain type of tax, how much money can be deducted, and then let the merchants collect it at will.

    When a businessman encounters such a good thing, how can he let it go?

    The government said that the tax can be discounted by one hundred thousand taels of silver. Believe it or not, the merchant can collect one million taels.  One hundred thousand taels was handed over to the government to repay the loan, and the remaining nine hundred thousand taels were all his own.

    Of course, this kind of thing also happens in China.

    One is that it appeared in the Yuan Dynasty, and the whole country was engaged in a tax package system.

    Second, it appeared in the Qing Dynasty.  Opium could not be banned, so the Qing government legalized opium, which could not only develop the local opium industry, but also reduce the outflow of silver and increase government tax revenue.  After the legalization of opium, the Qing government found that it was unable to collect taxes, so it contracted the opium tax to businessmen, so that it could be collected in full.

    Zhang Ruifeng asked: "Has French Prime Minister Mazarin not resigned yet after such a big disturbance?"

    "In order to quell public anger, Mazarin has been exiled," Charles laughed. "The Queen Mother still wanted to keep him, which made Prince Condé's plan to seek the prime minister fail. Not only that, Mazarin also arrested Prince Condé, declaring that  Prince Condé intends to rebel."

    Zhang Ruifeng asked: "So, how did this prime minister get exiled?"

    Charles said: "After Prince Condé was arrested, his cronies rioted in the local area, and the church and nobles also united against the French royal family. The rebels also united with the Spanish army and invaded France all the way. This civil war defeated the French king.  The Queen Mother submits. The Prince of Condé is released and the Prime Minister Mazarin is exiled. But the matter is not over."

    Zhang Ruifeng became more and more curious, and said, "Please tell me."

    Charles said: "The current situation has been calmed down. The Queen Mother of France suddenly became stupid and called back Mazarin who was exiled. Prince Condé was furious and once again joined forces with Spain to attack France. The people of Paris also spontaneously revolted and even drove away King Louis of France.  14. Mazarin was so frightened that he resigned as prime minister, the anger of the people of Paris subsided, and the king was greeted againreturn.  Prince Condé's rebellion was suppressed, and he is still in exile abroad.  "

    Zhang Ruifeng sighed: "This French king is really lucky!"

    Why is it a blessing that the country has two civil wars and made a mess?

    ?Because Mazarin is a powerful minister, and Prince Condé is a powerful local faction.  After two civil wars, Louis XIV, the young king, was able to get rid of the constraints of powerful ministers and local factions at the same time.  Once in power, Louis XIV's dictatorship will reach the peak of all French kings.

    Charles looked at Zhang Ruifeng in surprise. He only briefly explained the situation, but this Chinese official was able to see through the whole situation.

    As for the French Prime Minister Mazarin, he will return to Paris to be a demon.  In the end, the two brothers begged for a hammer, and the street lamps were hung up by the angry Parisians.

    The uprising tradition of the Paris people can be said to have a long history.

    In the past few years alone, there have been several uprisings one after another, saying that if the king is driven away, the king will be driven away.

    Charles continued: "Britain and the Netherlands are at war. As an Englishman, I hope Britain wins. But personally, I hope Cromwell loses."

    "Who does His Royal Highness think will win?" Zhang Ruifeng asked.

    Charles said: "Britain will win, there is no doubt about it."

    "Why?" Zhang Ruifeng asked, "Hasn't the Dutch navy always been very strong?"

    Charles smiled contemptuously: "The Netherlands is ruled by a group of businessmen, how can businessmen be reliable?"

    "The UK will definitely win for three reasons:"

    "First, everyone in the UK, from nobles, businessmen to civilians, is extremely angry with the Netherlands. All British people can unite to fight."

    "Secondly, the Netherlands sold its capital ship to the UK for profit, and the purchase fee was also loaned by Dutch merchants. The Dutch navy has suffered heavy losses and can only recruit merchant ships to fight. Those merchant ships are not willing to fight at all."

    "Third, before the war, the British Navy strictly rectified military discipline. The Dutch Navy, as well as the Dutch merchant ships, have extremely loose military discipline, and they may not obey orders during combat."

    When the envoy fleet came to France and docked at Grace Port, news of the Anglo-Dutch war came.

    Well Both the UK and the Netherlands said they had won the battle.

    The British claimed victory, killing the commander-in-chief of the Dutch navy and sinking 11 Dutch warships.

    The Netherlands claimed victory because they severely damaged 35 British warships and lifted the British Navy's blockade of the Netherlands.

    More detailed news came, fully verifying what Charles said.

    When the two sides were at war, the British navy was strictly disciplined.

    As for the Dutch Navy, the captains of many requisitioned merchant ships did not obey orders at all.  As a result, the number of ships was clearly superior, but the siege of the British navy was unable to be launched, and the ship of the Dutch navy commander was exposed.  The naval battle had just begun, and the commander of the Dutch navy saw God.

    Besides other battlefields, the ships of the Dutch East India Company continued to do their own business in Asia.  However, all the ships of the British East India Company were recalled to the mainland and scattered in various sea areas. They attacked Dutch ships when they saw them, and even Dutch fishing boats were not spared.

    It's really unreliable for businessmen to rule the country, and the naval decisive battle still thinks about profits.

    Port of Grace.

    When the Chinese envoys got off the boat, a large number of businessmen surrounded them, and the businessmen spontaneously organized to welcome them.

    A leader of the Chamber of Commerce stepped forward and asked very excitedly: "Mr. Chinese Envoy, have you brought spices, tea, silk, porcelain and tobacco on your ship?"

    Zhang Ruifeng smiled and nodded: "I have brought some of these goods."

    The businessman said excitedly: "Mr. Messenger, you can sell the goods to our chamber of commerce. We can increase the price by another 30% compared to last year's market price!"

    Prince Charles, who has now become Zhang Ruifeng's adviser, reminded: "Don't promise him, the auction can sell at a high price. The Dutch port was blocked by the British for several months, and the Dutch merchant ships were attacked everywhere. The British merchant ships did not do business, and all participated  War. Nowadays, goods from the East are hard to buy even if you have money. These merchants are going crazy, and the whole of Europe is short of Asian goods."

    Zhang Ruifeng smiled and said: "Thank you for reminding me, I will have someone prepare for the auction." Pointing to the mouth of the river, he asked, "Can we reach Paris through this river?"

    Prince Charles said: "This river is the Seine, which can go straight to Paris."

    The auction is being organized. In the evening, Zhang Ruifeng called a meeting for everyone.

    Zhang Ruifeng sighed and said: "This British prince in trouble is not an ordinary person. He knows everything about military affairs, politics, businessand has a big picture.  , Coppersmith work. If this person can return to the country to seize power, I am afraid that he will be a wise monarch again."

    "No way," Cai Yuncheng said, "this prince is fooling around and commenting on the current situation in a joking tone. He is a little arrogant, as if everyone else is a fool except himself. If this kind of person is a king, if he is not diligent in governing and loving the people,  It will bring disaster to the country and the people. Because he is too smart, wise enough to refuse remonstrance and not listen to harsh advice."

    Lu Tianxiang said: "The queen of England has expressed her intention to go to China with us. She dared to think about it, and wanted to ask His Majesty to send an army to help her son return."

    Fan Chao said: "Leave this matter to His Majesty, and we will bring him back to the country."Take a big picture and understand the situation in European countries.  When I chatted with him, I found out that he can do carpentry and coppersmithing.  If this person can return to the country to seize power, I am afraid that he will be a wise monarch again.  "

    "No way," Cai Yuncheng said, "this prince is fooling around and commenting on the current situation in a joking tone. He is a little arrogant, as if everyone else is a fool except himself. If this kind of person is a king, if he is not diligent in governing and loving the people,  It will bring disaster to the country and the people.

 Body 755【Visit Paris】

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 755 Cardinal Mazarin has been appointed Prime Minister of France again.

    When this news reached the diplomatic missions, Chinese officials felt that it was outrageous.  A guy who caused two aristocratic rebellions and two uprisings by the common people had nothing to do.

    Taking the inland river boat, the mission went to Paris, and heard a lot of discussions on the way.

    ? Traditional nobles and ordinary people hated Mazarin deeply.  Officials and businessmen celebrate with each other, as long as Mazarin continues to be prime minister, they can make money without any scruples.

    "This city is called Rouen, and Joan of Arc in France was burned to death here." Charles said, pointing to the city by the river.

    "Saint?" Zhang Ruifeng subconsciously thought of the White Lotus Sect.

    Charles began to tell the story of Joan of Arc, and everyone sighed and regarded Joan of Arc as the "French woman Yue Fei".

    Prince Charles continued: "From Port Grace by the Sea, along the Seine River to Paris, among all the cities that pass along the way, Rouen is the most prosperous and prosperous. It used to be the capital of the Duchy of Normandy, and it has always been the focus of competition between Britain and France.  Not only Joan of Arc was burned to death here, but also a Rouen priest who announced the excommunication of the King of England. Jews accounted for more than one-fifth of the entire city’s population. Although they were expelled many times, the Jews became more and more  More and more. I like Rouen because the city is jerk enough and there's a lot of fun to be had in the neighborhood."

    The ship docked at the river port, and the main envoys did not disembark, but only sent people to purchase food and beverages.

    Pan Wei and Cai Yuncheng, along with several civil and military officials, went into the city to inquire about various information.  The military officers observed the city defense system, and the civil servants learned about the local conditions and customs, and inquired about the special products and prices here.

    The navy and half of the guards stayed in the harbor, and only 500 guards followed to Paris.

    When a large group of Chinese landed, the city of Rouen became an instant sensation, and the citizens rushed to watch.

    Cai Yuncheng asked: "Your Highness, which industry is the most prominent in this city?"

    "Wool spinning," Charles explained, "a large amount of wool is shipped from England and Spain every year, and spun into various woolen materials in Rouen. The food produced in France is gathered in Rouen and shipped to the seaport for England."

    At this time in Europe, the French industry was far stronger than the British, and the wool textile industry was also stronger in France.

    Everyone entered a tavern, and the customers inside stopped talking for a moment, and all turned their heads to look at them in surprise.

    Some people even came over to chat: "Are you from India?"

    Just as Prince Charles was about to correct him, Cai Yuncheng secretly kicked him.  So everyone kept quiet and pretended not to understand French.

    The chatter was very disappointed and sat back to continue drinking.  "

    "These people must be from India!"

    "No, it's from China. I heard that the Chinese emperor sent an envoy to visit His Majesty the King."

    "Your Majesty the King? Hey, it's only right to visit the Queen Mother. I don't know if the Queen Mother is free, maybe she's still lying on the Prime Minister's bed."

    "When the king comes of age, the prime minister will definitely be executed."

    "That may be"

    The envoy invited several French translators, and at the moment they translated into Latin in a low voice, and the Latin translator translated into Chinese.

    Pan Wei and Cai Yuncheng looked at each other in dismay.

    Could it be that the Queen Mother of France really had an affair with the French Prime Minister?

    This kind of rumor had spread throughout France before the Parisian people's uprising.

    After listening in the tavern for a while, everyone went to the industrial area.  There are a large number of wool textile workshops here. In addition, industries such as wine making, pottery making, and leather making are also prosperous.

    Of course, there are many red light districts.

    After wandering around for a long time, Cai Yuncheng felt that Rouen was like a big county in southern China.

    Densely populated, with well-developed industry and commerce, the disadvantage is that the sanitary conditions are very poor.

    There is only a simple drainage system here, and domestic sewage is basically poured into the Seine River.  What's even more frightening is that occasionally you can see excrement and urine on the street, all of which are poured down from the second floor-residents facing the street, spilled in wooden barrels at night, and poured it directly onto the street in the morning.

    Pan Wei asked Charles: "Your Highness, is it the same in Paris? There are no farmers to collect excrement?"

    "Isn't that the case in China?" Charles asked back.

    Pan Wei can only explain: "In big cities in China, farmers go door-to-door to collect waste every morning. Residents in the city put the waste in buckets and sell it all to farmers to take away."

    Charles was even more puzzled: "The farmer is not a fool, how could he buy it?""He is easy to forgive the mistakes of his enemies, but he is also easy to forget to do good to his own people."

    This guy is extremely stingy with his subordinates and officials, and doesn't take anything away.

    Overtly and secretly, he was greedy to death, and left 200 million livres of property after his death, equivalent to the total tax revenue of France for two years, and equivalent to the income of the French royal family for six and a half yearsall were confiscated by Louis XIV.

    The French version of Heshen!

    "Bang bang bang!"

    The salute was fired, and the Musketeers also fired their guns into the sky.

    Immediately the band began to play, and several carriages more luxurious than those of the Portuguese royal family stopped in the open space by the river.

    The court guard unrolled the rolled carpet, which stretched from the pier to the carriage.  Distinguished Chinese guests can get on the car by stepping on the carpet all the way without stepping on the dirty land.

    The luxury of the Portuguese royal family is nothing compared to the French royal family.

 Text 756 [Gifts and gifts in return]

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 756 If another twenty years pass, the French royal family may directly use Chinese sedan chairs to welcome Chinese envoys.

    At that time, the royal families of various European countries were all competing for the luxurious decoration of the carriage.

    However, Louis XIV took a unique approach and produced a sedan chair with carved gold and silver ornaments and wrapped in silk, which instantly compared a bunch of carriages.  Even the bearers who carried the sedan chairs were all dressed in Chinese costumes, which was so cool every time they went out of the palace.

    "Charlie, you have been to China, and you are with the distinguished guests." Mazarin ordered.

    "Yes! Your Excellency Prime Minister!"

    DArtagnan accepted the order happily, and led the guards forward, escorting them with the Chinese guards, which immediately aroused the resentment of the other French guards.

    Mazarin is a traitor that everyone shouts and beats, and d'Artagnan is Mazarin's running dog.

    When Mazarin resigned for the second time, D'Artagnan also lost his position.  Instead of leaving Mazarin, he also became Mazarin's retainer.

    Now that Mazarin is now prime minister again, he defies all opinions and appoints d'Artagnan as the captain of the bird house guard.

    Of course, friendship belongs to friendship, and the money to buy an official is still paid.

    Mazarin was very generous and offered to give d'Artagnan a discount.  Later, d'Artagnan sold the position of captain of the guards for a total of 80,000 livres. Because of the discount, he made a lot of money, so he pooled the money to buy the position of captain of the infantry company of the guards.

    "Da da da da!"

    More than a dozen carriages moved forward slowly, the guards opened the way in front, and the Chinese guards and d'Artagnan led the troops to protect the two sides.

    The citizens of Paris stood on the street to watch the excitement, but they couldn't see the Chinese nobles in the carriage.  They could only cast their eyes on the Chinese guards, and the peculiar guard helmets became the focus of attention.

    Mazarin and Zhang Ruifeng were in the same carriage, and an interpreter was sitting next to him: "Respect Your Excellency, the Queen Mother and Your Majesty the King, I will receive you all at the Louvre. There will be a grand banquet here, and hundreds of nobles have been waiting for a long time. If you  If you like hunting, you can go to Versailles in the suburbs, where there is the hunting palace of the former king."

    The Palace of Versailles has not yet been officially built at this time. There is only a wooden house in the forest, which is specially used for the French royal family to rest when hunting.

    "Everything is due." Zhang Ruifeng smiled.

    The Louvre is only a few hundred meters away from the Seine River, and it arrived in a blink of an eye after getting off the boat.

    Queen Mother Anne stood at the front, holding 15-year-old Louis XIV.  Hundreds of nobles gathered together and accompanied the royal family to wait for the arrival of the Chinese mission.

    The two failed rebellions of the Duke of Condé led to the complete loss of power of the local power faction in France.  The lords of the provinces have all moved to Paris to settle down, building a large number of villas in the suburbs, and the taxation of the territory is exclusively for them to squander in the capital.  This is similar to the Japanese shogunate, which also allows the lord to settle in the capital, preventing rebellion and strengthening centralization at the same time.

    The two sides introduced the main characters to each other, and Louis XIV kept looking at the Chinese envoy.

    The young king felt cheated.  The styles of clothes worn by Chinese people are different from those made by French tailors. He decided to ask the tailors to make several sets again.

    The grand dinner is scheduled to be held on the second day. The Chinese guests are exhausted from the journey and have to rest in the Louvre for a day.

    When the nobles dispersed, the court minister arranged for the Chinese envoy to stay.  After a short rest, Queen Anne took her son and ran to find Lu Tianxiang, Zhang Ruifeng and others, and invited Chinese guests to visit the palace collection.

    Queen Mother Anne pointed to a box and said, "I asked top French craftsmen to make this. Does China have such technology?"

    "Although it is exquisite, it is rarely seen in China." Lu Tianxiang replied with a smile.

    It is a gold filigree inlaid treasure chest, with gold and silver silk to outline the pattern, and then inlaid with jewels and other ornaments.  It is golden, rich and luxurious, but also very vulgar, densely covered with gold threads, and has the same aesthetics as Qianlong.

    Hearing that it is rare in China, Queen Anne's vanity was satisfied, and she said to Lu Tianxiang: "If Her Royal Highness likes it, when I return to China, I can give you a gold and silver silk product as a gift."

    "Thank you very much." Lu Tianxiang said along the lines.

    After visiting the room, Queen Anne pointed to a certain wall: "This is a jade mosaic that originated in Italy, and is now popular all over Europe. I have specially set up a mosaic studio. Although it is not perfect, as long as I continue to  In a few years, it will definitely surpass that of Italy."

    "It's really beautiful."

    It was hard for Chinese envoys to complain, and those jade stones didn't know what material they were made of.  The flowers are colorful and colorful, and after being made into mosaics, they are put together into complex patterns on the wall.

    What's so good about this thing?  Still popular all overnbsp; After dinner, Queen Anne called the prime minister and asked, "The emperor of China presented a work of art of extraordinary value. What kind of gift should we give in return?"

    Mazarin replied: "You can't give gold back directly, that would be too vulgar. Craftsmen must be summoned to create unique works of art. Only such a gift can show the Frenchness. It's betterhow about choosing two of the most vigorous and vigorous BMWs,  Rebuild the most magnificent carriage. The decorations of the carriage must have a Chinese style, and must be decorated with gold and inlaid with the rarest and most beautiful gemstones."

    "This is a good idea, and I will leave it to you to handle it." Queen Anne said that she had great trust in the Prime Minister.

    The common people think that Mazarin is a traitor, but in the eyes of the Queen Mother, Mazarin is a loyal minister.  It can not only help her earn money, but also cut off her political enemies and settle those local nobles who oppose the royal family.

    As for the life and death of the common people, what does it matter to the Queen Mother of France?

 Text 757【Rebellion Book】

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 757 The British royal family in exile did not go to Paris.

    The main reason is that the relationship between the aunt and sister-in-law is very tense. When the deposed queen of England and the queen mother of France meet, they are like sworn enemies.

    In fact, they are also considered enemies!

    Louis XIV, who has passed away, has been separated from his wife Anne for a long time, and is extremely afraid of his mother.  Mother plotted to abolish Louis XIII, but fled to Spain to ask for asylum after she failed.  The Duke of Orléans, the younger brother of Louis XIII, was also exiled by the Queen Mother last year because of his participation in the rebellion of the Prince of Condé.

    The mother absconded in fear of crime, and the younger brother was exiled. How could the Queen Mother of England want to go to Paris again?

    The family stayed in Rouen without revealing their identities, renting a low-level neighborhood.

    Having received the consultant's salary from the Chinese mission, Prince Charles is not in a hurry to work for the time being.  He hung a broadsword by his waist, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and skipped across the streets and alleys.

    It is necessary to bounce around, because if you are not careful, you will step on the dirt.

    "Snapped!"

    When he came to the tavern, Charles took out a few livres and shouted, "Bring the wine!"

    The remuneration given by the Chinese is enough for the prince to drink for a while.

    Several people sat at the next table, plotting something loudly.

    While drinking, Charles listened attentively, and the more he listened, the more interesting he became.

    ?P. Brussels, who caused the rebellion of the Fronde, was the leader of the resistance movement. Because the uprising was too loud at the time, he was not executed after being arrested.

    Halfway through the exile, P. Brussels took a walk, and now he ran back and hid in Rouen.

    "This book, called "Apocalypse from China", was translated by the British poet Mr. Milton." Brussels held up the booklet in his hand, "I saw a French manuscript in Port Grace, and it took a lot of effort to borrow it.  Make a copy by hand. Did you know that in China, common people can study for free and take part in an examination called the imperial examination. You must pass the imperial examination before you can become an official, and even the emperor of China cannot violate this rule."

    The chaotic party at the same table wondered: "There are only so many official positions. If they all take the exam to become an official, are there enough official positions? If the number is not enough, will the officials' sons inherit it, or will the newly admitted scholars do it?"

    Brussels explained: "In China, official positions cannot be hereditary!"

    "Official positions cannot be hereditary?"

    Everyone exclaimed, because the voice was too loud, everyone in the tavern looked over.

    Milton left earlier than the Chinese envoys. After returning to England, he found that his republic was gone.

    He doesn't blame Cromwell for disbanding the parliament, because it is difficult to be a protector. The nobles, the parliament, and the army have their own demands, and Cromwell is caught in the middle.  From Cromwell's point of view, he had to make a choice, and simply slapped the parliament to implement a military dictatorship.

    Milton, disillusioned with his political ideals, resigned from his post as secretary and devoted himself to translating "The Collection of Great Harmony".

    Milton's version of "The Collection of Datong" contains bourgeois ideas, and the content of land distribution is deleted.

    At this moment, Brussels said excitedly: "Let me introduce the content of this book to you"

    "The Chinese also recognize the 'divine authority of the monarch', but the monarch must be virtuous and must treat people from all walks of life well. This is called 'benevolent government', which means implementing a beautiful and benevolent policy. If the monarch implements benevolent government, he will be recognized by God. The monarch  If you don't practice benevolent government, you will be punished by God"

    "The operation of the world follows the 'God's will'. God is happy to see the people happy and healthy, and the people thrive under God's care. More and more people need a monarch to govern. The monarch's governance is not to exploit the people, but to  Guarantee the rights and interests of the people. If you violate this criterion, you will not be a qualified monarch and will be abandoned by God. The ability of a monarch alone is limited, so many officials are needed to assist the government"

    "The previous emperor of China lost God's approval because he exploited the people. The current emperor of China got God's will in his sleep and led the people to overthrow the tyrant"

    "God's will is as follows: first, private property is inviolable, and the king and the church are no exception; second, the people have freedom, including speech, publishing, marriage These freedoms; third, the people have the right to learn knowledge. Knowledge  It is the gospel of God in the world, and everyone should learn to understand it. The monarch and the government should open public schools to spread the gospel of God in the form of knowledge;  knowledge to serve as a government official"

    The book translated by Milton has been banned from publication in the UK because it contains too many private goods and is suspected of tampering with teachings.

    But in this tavern, a group of French rebels listened in high spirits.

    the?It was Richelieu who forced him to marry someone he didn't like, so he decided to leave Richelieu to Qianfan, and took Louis XIII's bird seat by the way.  He participated in the rebellion several times before and after, all of them were on the side of the losers, and they were all fooled into rebellion.

    Charles glanced at the rogues, and none of them seemed capable of anything.

    However, the conversations between the rebels made him more interested in China.

    Just when the Chinese mission visited Paris, "Datong Ji·Magic Edition" had already spread in London.  Then it spread to Port of Grace and Rouen, France, where not only the rebels regarded it as a treasure, but even French scholars secretly studied it.

 Text 758 [Knight Tournament]

    I scroll a sleepy shoal 758 Louvre.

    The queen mother and king of France are preparing for a knight tournament.

    There are not many high-level entertainment activities these days, nothing more than banquets, dances, concerts, hunting in the countryside, and knightly competitions.

    Horse racing or something is not very popular yet.

    The prosperity of horse racing has to wait for the restoration of Prince Charles.  The British "jolly king" laid the foundation for modern horse racing, and many horse racing rules were formulated by him himself.

    Two grand banquets have already been held, and one concert has been organized. It seems that the Chinese guests are not very interested, so Prime Minister Mazarin proposed to hold a knight competition.

    "Your Majesty, Ambassador, please take a look." Cai Yuncheng took out a booklet.

    Lu Tianxiang glanced at it and said that she couldn't understand French.

    Zhang Ruifeng asked: "What kind of book is this?"

    Cai Yuncheng said: "The Collection of Great Harmony."

    Zhang Ruifeng looked strange: "The Collection of Datong written in French? Where did you get it?"

    Cai Yuncheng said: "I will go to the streets of Paris today to appreciate the local customs and customs. When I walked into a small alley, I saw someone gathering a crowd to give lectures. Just as I was about to ask the general officer to listen, the French scholar who was giving lectures on the street came over on his own initiative.  Talk to me. He asked a lot of weird questions, which were generally related to His Majesty's administration. After chatting for a while, the French scholar was very excited, and forced me to go to the tavern for a drink."

 Text 759 [Queen Anne's Bathroom Summoned]

    ?Zhen Juan Yishui Shoal 759 The referee of the martial arts competition stood there in a daze, not knowing whether to judge Zheng Dayong as a foul or to judge Zheng Dayong as a winner.

    Xia Pulan, who was the master of ceremonies in the competition, also had a hard time making a choice, and subconsciously looked towards the Queen Mother in the auditorium.

    Queen Mother Anne didn't know what to do. If Zheng Dayong was sentenced to a foul, it would appear that the French royal family has no courage.  If Zheng Dayong is judged to win, the captain of the royal guard will lose in one round, which makes the French royal guard too rubbish.

    Zheng Dayong lifted his helmet with a smile, and rode to Xia Pulan: "Let's score."

    There is another rule in knightly contests. Those who fall from the horse will not be directly defeated, but points will be deducted like a broken lance.  This kind of rule is mostly used in small-scale martial arts competitions. Countless spectators come to watch the excitement, but there are only a few fights, and it can't be over just after the start, so after falling off the horse, they will get up and continue fighting.

    Since Zheng Dayong is representing China in the competition, of course he needs to understand the situation.

    A few days ago, I was even grinding my gun to get used to this special brittle wood lance.

    After hearing the translation, Xia Pulan hurried to ask the Queen Mother for instructions.

    Queen Mother Anne felt that this move was feasible, and neither China nor France would lose face.  She looked at Zheng Dayong in the arena with a smile, and thought that this Chinese knight was very good, not only had excellent riding skills, but also knew how to be flexible.

    Navarra had already been supported by his teammates, and when he learned that the game would continue, his first reaction was to untie the belt of his shield.

    It is estimated that from now on, European knights' competitions will either modify the rules so that the belt cannot be pulled, or the knight's shield will not be hung directly with the belt.

    Like D'Artagnan, Navarre also came from the local aristocracy.

    Only the aristocrats can afford an official position and become the captain of the company of guards. This position is worth 100,000 livres.

    The followers on both sides no longer need to fight, and all honors and challenges belong to the knights.

    After exchanging positions, the two walked around the obstacle, approached about ten meters and accelerated to charge again.

    Zheng Dayong felt that this kind of competition was stupid, and the brittle wood lance restricted too much technique.  For example, if he can't charge and sweep, if he swings his lance and sweeps over, regardless of whether he can knock his opponent off the horse, the lance in his hand will definitely break and deduct points. This thing is deliberately made brittle to protect the contestants.

    "pound!"

    "Boom!"

    There were two crisp sounds.

    The shield used by Zheng Day separated Navarra's lance.  Then he quickly lowered his right arm and inserted it into the gap of the opponent's shield. Navarra was a little too late to respond, and knocked the lower end of the shield on Zheng Dayong's lance.  The guy was stabbed in the thigh, and Zheng Dayong scored again.

    Everyone can see that there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides.

    Zheng Dayong first fought with Zhang Tieniu, then converted to dragoons halfway, and then transferred to Liaoning as Xiao cavalry.  He was killed with real swords and guns, and the Navarra in front of him had never been on the battlefield at all.

    Leading the scoring for two consecutive rounds, Navarra is already a little scared.

    At the beginning of the third round, Navarra cheered up.  He no longer dared to play tricks, he only wanted to defend effectively, and then scored by breaking Zheng Da's lance.

    "ah!"

    Just when the two sides were about to contact, the nobles in the audience exclaimed.

    It was Zheng Dayong who suddenly threw the lance, aiming at Navarra's head.  Navarra hastily moved the shield up, subconsciously protected his face, and when his sight was blocked, he raised his gun and stabbed Zheng Dayong completely by feeling.

    Zheng Dayong was wearing a bulky full-body plate armor, half of his body leaned out.  After narrowly dodging the lance, he regained his balance in an instant, and switched the shield to his right hand, and the horizontal shield slammed into Navarra's ribs.

    "Bang!"

    A large pile of tin cans fell off the horse's back again.

    This time, he rolled over and fell, and the fall was messy. Coupled with the heavy armor, he didn't get up for a long time.

    The referee was stunned for a while, and came to remind him: "Mr. Chinese Knight, if you let go of the lance, your opponent will score because of it. You can't throw the lance."

    Zheng Dayong asked: "I just dropped my gun, but he fell to the ground. Who scored more points in this round?"

    "Of course it's you," said the referee.

    Zheng Dayong said with a smile: "That's enough."

    The game continues and the fourth round begins.

    After the initial shock, the audience seemed to get used to it gradually, and even became excited, wanting to see what special tricks Chinese knights have.  Such a novel trick is much more interesting than a rigorous martial arts competition.

    And any nobleman who knows how to ride will not think that Zheng Dayong is cheating.

    As for the change of trick just now, it must be, in the eyes of this nobleman, you are an unwelcome servant or pariah.

    There is a description in Voltaire's "Excellent Emile", when Madame Chatelet took a bath, she asked the servant Longchamp to add water for her.  Not only did she not wear clothes, but she also exposed her legs apart to avoid being scalded by hot water.

    Later, the lady changed her clothes in front of the servant.  When participating in the salon, the duchess and several marquises took off all their clothes because of the hot weather, leaving only a few ceremonial accessories on their bodies, and they ate naked in front of the servants.

    The male servant had never seen the world, and at first he was so scared that he closed his eyes and dared not speak, but then he gradually understood and felt angry: "The noble lady treats the servant as a lifeless machine In her eyes, I am the same as the kettle in my hand.  No difference."

    As for Louis XIV, this guy really didn't take a bath, he only washed it a few times in his life to show his devotion to Jesus.

    Almost all Europeans who seldom take a bath are devout Christians.  This thing originally originated from sectarian disputes, and gradually became associated with the Black Death. It was believed that the dirt on the body was like armor, which could block various diseases, and it would be easy to get sick after taking a bath.

    "You are very brave, Mr. Chinese Knight." Queen Anne sat in the bathtub with her arms protruding, and looked at Zheng Dayong with winking eyes.

    The translator was a little embarrassed, coughed and said, "Mr. Zheng, the Queen Mother is praising you for your bravery."

    Zheng Dayong has never seen such a scene. It would be better if there were only two of them, and the key interpreter was also nearby. He cast his eyes on the wall and said awkwardly: "Thank you for the compliment."

    Queen Mother Anne smiled and said, "Please sit down."

    Zheng Dayong sat down tremblingly, still not daring to look directly.

    Queen Mother Anne asked: "Have you ever been on a battlefield? How many enemies have you killed?"

    Zheng Dayong replied: "There are probably dozens of them killed with his own hands. Because of his bravery in battle and beheaded enemy generals, he was chosen by His Majesty the Emperor as a bodyguard."

    "Then you are a real warrior," Queen Mother Anne liked more and more, she turned and lay on the edge of the bathtub, showing her shoulders, staring at Zheng Dayong and said, "Can you tell me how you fought against the enemy?  "

    Zheng Dayong had no choice but to tell the truth, the more the Queen Mother listened, the more tempted she became, and she kept asking about the details of the battlefield.

    Finally, the bath water became cold.

    Zheng Dayong and the interpreter were invited out of the bathroom, but the maid was left behind to help the Queen Mother get dressed.  The manservant responsible for adding water also stayed in the bathroom and witnessed the whole process of dressing the Queen Mother.

    "Your Highness, it's getting late, I will take my leave first!"

    Zheng Dayong stood outside the bathroom door, blushing with embarrassment, before waiting for a reply from inside, he fled away with the translator.

    Going back and telling the story, Cai Yuncheng laughed out loud.

    And in a large villa in the suburbs, Pan Wei was having fun with a marquise.  His behavior was acquiesced, because from the lady's bed, many anecdotes can be inquired, and these anecdotes will also be written into the work report.

    I just hope that this old man doesn't suffer from venereal disease.

    Syphilis was spread to China by Europeans in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.  Brought by the Portuguese, it first appeared in Guangdong, so it is also called "Guangdong sore", and later spread along the coast of Zhejiang.

    By the way, the level of doctors in the Ming Dynasty in treating syphilis was the most advanced in the world at that time

 Text 760【Buying Officials to Revitalize France】

    I rolled a sleepy shoal 760 early in the morning, on the big bed.

    Pan Wei was awakened by a movement, and opened his eyes in a daze to see that the big yangma was getting dressed.

    "Honey, it's time for me to go back to my room." The Marchioness Elizabeth Turpin smiled at Pan Wei while getting dressed.

    Pan Wei originally planned to sit up, but suddenly felt a pain in his waist, so he simply lay down again. This big ocean horse is strenuously hurting his body when riding.

    European aristocrats have very contradictory attitudes towards marriage.

    They value virginity very much, because the eldest son must inherit the family business, so he must be his own.  But after the birth of the eldest son, the couple fulfilled their family obligations, and they can basically play their own things in the future.

    Of course, there are cases of jealousy, and there are quite a few. Killing an adulterer in a duel, or being killed by an adulterer, this kind of thing happens more than once or twice.

    However, judging from literary works, they always praise extramarital affairs, thinking that is beautiful love.  The jealous husband, the man who loses his mind because of jealousy, is a villain that is ridiculed in literature.

    Pan Wei lived in the guest room of the Marquis's house as a distinguished guest.

    Face still has to be done, after all, the Marquis is also at home.  The Marquise touched her at night, and went back to her room in the morning, pretending nothing happened.

    Only when the ladies gather, the Marquise will show off and talk to her girlfriends about the performance of Chinese men in bed.  Just like hundreds of years later, a group of scumbags gathered to brag about which girl they dated.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    "Come in."

    After sleeping for a long time, Pan Wei was awakened by a knock on the door.

    The maid pushed the door open and said, "Sir, Master and Madam invite you to dinner."

    "knew."

    Pan Wei got up to get dressed, and the maid hurriedly served her.  It's a pity that I am not familiar with Chinese costumes, and the maid's service has become a mess.

    "I will do it myself."

    Now it is a private identity, and Pan Wei is not wearing an official uniform.  She was dressed in a gorgeous silk robe, tightly tied with a belt, and a jade pendant hung from her waist. She wore a small crown on her hair, which was fixed with a gold hairpin.

    This guy came from a rich family, and after a little tidying up, he became Mr. Pian Pianjia, who confused the Marquis.

    Arriving at the living room, the Marquis Le Tellier, the Marquis Elizabeth, and the Marquis' fourteen-year-old son Loire were already sitting neatly at the dining table.

    Le Tellier, the first French Minister of War.

    His son, Loire, will become France's second Minister of War.

    This father and son were the founders of the French professional army and the foundation for Louis XIV to become the Sun King.

    Prior to this, the French army only had companies, and the lords of various places refused to integrate into regiments, and the royal family could not control the army at all.  The greatest achievement of the iron-fisted Prime Minister Richelieu was the establishment of the Minister of War, the forced integration of the army, and the professionalization of the French army.

    Prince Kong Dai launched a rebellion, and local nobles responded one after another. In fact, it was a general outbreak of long-term conflicts.  The most important reason is the continuous reform of the army, and the royal family is constantly strengthening its control over the army.

    ? Pan Wei was ordered to sleep with the big horse, and he didn't sleep indiscriminately. He chose a specific target.

    Seeing Pan Wei coming to the dining room, Letellier nodded and smiled, not minding his wife's cheating at all, but Pan Wei was a bit guilty of being an adulterer.

    "Please sit down." Elizabeth smiled.

    Pan Wei bowed his hands in return: "Thank you for your hospitality."

    Pan Wei is an outstanding student from Jinling University. He started to learn Latin before going to sea, and he did not delay his homework all the way. Now he can easily communicate in Latin.

    The family murmured words over breakfast, thanking the Lord for giving them food.

    ?Pan Wei did as the Romans did, and also read along in Chinese. He seemed very pious, but he was actually saying: "I really want to go back to Nanjing. The foreign food is so bad. It's not bad to eat something new, but it's really boring to eat every day."

    Everyone finished their breakfast quietly, and the table manners were quite particular.

    After filling his stomach, Le Tellier stood up suddenly, pointed to the gold medal on his waist, twisted his body back and forth, and said, "Pan, does my brand look good?"

    Pan Wei couldn't laugh or cry.

    Because of the Chinese missions, most of them wear jade pendants, which look very fashionable.  So the French nobles followed suit, but they felt that jade was boring, and only gold could reflect their status.

    The piece hanging from Le Tellier's waist was made by artisans.  The whole body is made of gold and inlaid with gemstones of various colors. The pattern is actually a pine crane, which makes Pan Wei feel awkward no matter how he looks at it.

    "Very extravagant, excellent work of art." Pan Wei smiled and praised.

    &nbnbsp; The imperial examination system broke the rule of the powerful in China.  The system of buying officials also broke the rule of the French aristocracy.

    A large number of emerging bourgeoisie and petty aristocrats crossed the traditional class restrictions by buying officials.  And the king also got rid of the constraints of the big nobles through these people.

    The more official positions are sold, the more the treasury will be filled, and the more successful the deprivation of power from the great nobles will be.

    However, there were also serious consequences. The emerging official class led to the beginning of the bourgeoisie in power.  At the beginning, it was only middle and low-level positions, and gradually high-level officials appeared, and when it developed to a certain level, a bourgeois revolution would break out.

    The French king, indeed, took power from the traditional aristocrats, but handed over power to the emerging bourgeoisie.

    ?Continuing to develop, the kings of France will be happy for two or three generations, and after a hundred years, the bourgeoisie will rule the world.

    Pan Wei didn't think that deeply, but he subconsciously felt that there was a problem.

    All official positions are bought, so whoever has the money is the best?

    The court is full of rich people, and everything they do is based on profit.  Can the people bear it?  After the rich take control of the court, will they feel that the king is too much of a hindrance?

    It is true that Pan Wei came from a wealthy family, and it is true that he wants to destroy Zhao Han's land system.  But he also has the bottom line of a traditional scholar. Imperial power must be maintained, and benevolent government must be implemented.  The princes of the imperial court must be gentlemen, and they must not be merchants covered in copper stink.

 Text 761 [Colonies as dowry?  】

    ,

    "Watch out for shit!"

    Although Pan Wei cannot communicate in French, these two words have long been firmly memorized.

    In 1270 AD, the French government issued a decree: "No one is allowed to pour sewage and excrement from the windows of the building, otherwise a fine will be imposed."

    More than a hundred years later, the French government once again promulgated a decree: "If you shout 'watch out for shit' three times, you can dump urine and feces from the windows of the building."

    Over the past few hundred years, this decree has become a habit and has been integrated into the lives of French urbanites.

    Pan Wei jumped up and down to distance himself, then looked up upstairs, and the woman upstairs also looked at him.  The woman felt that the Chinese were rare, so she smiled and winked at Pan Wei, and then a bucket of excrement and urine poured down the window.

    Pan Wei hurriedly covered his nose and walked away, muttering: "Fanbang barbarians don't know a little bit of etiquette."

    Of course, there are excrement workers in Paris, but the number is seriously insufficient, and the priority is to dig out the excrement pits of noble and rich merchants.

    The 17th century has progressed, and stone pipes will be built on the outer wall of the castle, which will be directly discharged into the large cesspit on the ground, and then the excrement and urine will be transported outside the city by the excrement workers.

    Like the Louvre where the king lives, it will be even more powerful, and an underground tunnel will be dug to lead to the Seine.  It's just that the underground passage is often blocked, and it may last for ten and a half months. During this period, it can be called the end of the disaster.  Because there are too many people in the Louvre, they can pull several large carts in a day, and if they can't get out, they just dump them, and even pour their feces and urine in the Louvre.

    In 1670 A.D., a scholar summoned by the king recorded: "Thousands of excrement can be seen near the Louvre, even inside and outside the palace, behind the four aisles and door openings, and almost everywhere.  People smell the foul smell, which is caused by the natural needs of those who live in the Louvre, and the officials who come to work in the Louvre every day"

    There are 29 toilets in the entire Palace of Versailles.

    It was definitely enough at the beginning, but it was not enough in the time of Louis XIV.

    The Sun King has completely centralized power, and a large number of officials enter the palace every day to handle affairs.  He also liked extravagant enjoyment, and kept increasing the number of servants in the Louvre. At the peak, there were tens of thousands of people living in the palace.

    Tens of thousands of people use 29 toilets, and there are basically only one or two squatting seats, and some of them are dedicated to the king. What is the difference between this and no toilets?

    If the officials are in a hurry, they will find a doorway in the palace, take off their pants and pull them straight away.

    In some places, the king is not allowed to defecate anywhere, so people will draw a sign of the cross, and whoever dares to defecate will be disrespectful to Jesus.

    But the Louvre was still too smelly, and Louis XIV couldn't stand it, so there was the Palace of Versailles in the suburbs.

    At this time, Louis XIV was not yet in power. Although the Queen Mother increased the number of servants, there were only a few thousand people in the palace.  how to say?  Although it is very common to urinate and defecate anywhere, at least it will not be a pile of shit in three steps. It is barely acceptable for Chinese envoys to live in it.

    But no one dares to wander around, especially in remote places, if you don't pay attention, you will step on "landmines".

    Pan Wei returned to the Louvre, wrote all the information he found into the work report, and shared the secrets of sex with his brothers by the way.  For example, the youngest son of Marquis XX was the cub of a young servant.

    A boy from a minor aristocrat was sent to the family of a great aristocrat when he was 14 or 15 years old.

    Their life enlightenment teacher is likely to be their mistress.  It is normal for the mistress with a dissolute personality to live like this all her life and sleep with dozens or hundreds of young men.

    Cai Yuncheng listened to these stories, and at the same time, he felt hot and despised the European nobles, and wrote:

    "European countries don't know how to retting excrement, even in the palace, excrement and urine are also flowing. The excrement workers are scarce, and they are extremely low, and they are diligent in cleaning every day, but they still can't finish it. And the European ladies are all dissolute by nature, and the people who live in secret are not ordinary.  A few. Maybe there are chaste and martyrs who are different and don’t fit in well European countries are all barbarians. Civilization is undeveloped and uncivilized, so it’s not worth mentioning.”

    "Today, it is heard that selling officials in France is the essence of the reform. The French system is like the Warring States Period. The princes entrusted various places and often refused to obey the king's orders. However, the king sells officials, just like the reforms of other countries. Officials, scholars, and merchants were appointed to  Yin seized the power of the princes. This kind of behavior has never been seen in the history of the country, and it is difficult to predict the consequences"

    "There are also small countries in Europe, which were usurped by the merchants. Those as big as the Netherlands, the original duke was in power, but now he was deposed because he was young. There are seven provinces in the Netherlands, a total of 28 mayors, most of whom are shareholders of the East India Company. Shareholders control the place  , and then elect a parliament, and the parliament will govern the country through consultation.”

    "Ahead of the Great War between England and the Netherlands. The defeat of the Netherlands lies in the fact that the hearts of the people are not in harmony. The merchants in the seven provinces have different interests and hinder each other. There are also the Duke's cronies, who lead the battle but do not obey orders, and sit back and watch the navy.??, there is no need to treat Portugal as an enemy country.

    In front of the Chinese envoy, France and Portugal are about to sign a treaty.

    The Portuguese envoy went ahead and said: "Your Majesty, there is no engagement yet. Our Majesty has two princesses, and they also have no engagement. How about"

    "Don't talk about this again!" Mazarin interrupted immediately.

    A treaty between France and Portugal was reached, and China and France soon signed it.  Nothing special, the two countries just open their ports to each other.

    The farthest port in China is in Malacca, and the farthest port in France is in West Africa and Canada. What's the point of opening ports to each other?  Even if it is not signed, Malacca is still open to the outside world, as long as the Hong Kong tax is paid honestly.

    In addition, the French royal family was also generous. After the Chinese envoy proposed to buy the horse breed, it directly said that there was no need to pay.

    The Queen Mother has dispatched officials to carefully select twenty Percherons.  Ten males and ten females were all good horses, and they were presented to the Chinese emperor for free.

    This special horse for heavy cavalry can still be used for transportation and agriculture even if heavy cavalry withdraws from the stage of history, because it is originally a heavy draft horse.

    After signing the contract with France, the Portuguese envoy quietly found Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng.

    "Honorable Chinese envoy, His Majesty has another proposal," said the Portuguese envoy, "as long as the two royal families marry, China can choose one of the Portuguese colonial ports in India except Nagapatam Port as a dowry.  "

    Port for dowry?

    Neither Lu Tianxiang nor Zhang Ruifeng dared to make a decision to refuse, and immediately said: "After we return to the country, we will report to His Majesty."

    Mumbai, India, is the Portuguese princess who married the British king's dowry!

    The Portuguese princess could not get married, and the restoration of the British king was also in an embarrassing situation. In addition, the British wanted to expand in India, and the two hit it off and the marriage was successful.  Mumbai, India, became a British colony in a daze.

    King Joao IV was crazy about royal marriage, and the colony would give it as it said.

    It is estimated that Zhao Han will agree, it's just a marriage, and he didn't say that he must be a queen, just marry a Portuguese princess as a concubine for the prince.

    As a show of sincerity, the Portuguese envoy also brought a list of colonies.  China can choose any port in India, except for the one closest to Malacca.

    ,

    The Louvre.

    When Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng walked into the room, they saw the serious faces of the Frenchmen, and there was a hint of anger in them.

    What's the matter?

    "Everyone, please sit down."

    Queen Mother Anne waited for the Chinese envoy to sit down before asking: "Is your envoy still going to England?"

    Lu Tianxiang nodded and said, "I'm going there. It's the emperor's order to send envoys to various countries along the way."

    Prime Minister Mazarin said: "Just yesterday, the usurper Cromwell sent an emissary to announce that he will officially serve as the protector of the United Kingdom early next year. He has re-enacted the British Constitution and the power of Parliament will be transferred to him alone.  It is extremely unreasonable for him to launch a rebellion, and killing the king is even more vicious. Even if the British king is a tyrant, after killing the king, he should support nobles to succeed him."

    "And now, Britain has not only lost its king, but even its parliament has been disbanded. All his actions have no basis, and he has destroyed traditions, legal principles and rules! France will not recognize Cromwell, and I hope that Chinese envoys will not go to the UK  access!"

    Many months ago, Cromwell dispersed the Long Parliament, but did not completely dissolve the Parliament.

    Members of Congress, just can't call the shots.  However, the overall framework of the Congress was still retained, and it was ordered to start diplomatic negotiations with the Netherlands, assist Cromwell in formulating a new constitution, and so on.

    Negotiations had already begun before the Anglo-Dutch war was over.

    The talks in the parliament were a mess, and Cromwell finally couldn't stand it. He simply wiped out the parliament and went to discuss with the Dutch in person.  The same is true for the new constitution. He asked his confidant Ai to preside over the compilation in the future, otherwise the parliamentarians will drag on and do not know when it will be delayed.

    If the period of more than half a year is placed in China, it can be understood as the "preparation period for abdication".

    ? For the Chinese dictator to usurp power, he needs three requests and three resignations before Zen.  For Cromwell to usurp power, he needs to amend the British Constitution and transfer the power of the country by Parliament, so that he can establish his own legal system.

    Of course the council was not reconciled, but it couldn't make it through, so it could only choose to compromise.

    Cromwell also had to compromise, and he couldn't force the congressmen to death, otherwise it would be ugly.  Therefore, the re-enacted British Constitution retained many interests of the nobles and big businessmen, and limited some of Cromwell's powers.

    During the period, Cromwell also wooed, divided, and intimidated, and by "treating the royalists well" and other means, he pretended to support a new king, which scared the MPs and said that everything was easy to discuss.

    The rabbit dies and the fox is sad!

    The news of Cromwell's imminent dictatorship completely angered the French royal family.  I received the news yesterday, and today I invited the Chinese envoys to express their attitude straight to the point, hoping that China would not recognize Cromwell's rule.

    Feeling this attitude, Zhang Ruifeng immediately condemned along the Huatou: "There is an ancient book in China called "Laozi Xianger Zhu".  Okay? There is an old saying in China, "If the name is not right, the words will not be right". Then Cromwell claimed to be the protector of the country, and he was neither a monarch nor a subject. The king is not a king, and the minister is not a minister. What is this?  baffling!"

    Louis XIV clapped his hands and praised: "The wisdom of the Chinese sages is really extraordinary. This is the reason. The protector of the country is neither a king, nor a nobleman or a minister. There is no legal order at all."

    The book "Laozi Xianger Notes" is a commentary on the "Tao Te Ching", and it is said that the author is Zhang Daoling.

    To be honest, this book is so-so.  In some places, the "Tao Te Ching" has been annotated with a Confucian flavor.

    This annotation method may be intentional, because "Lao Tzu Xianger Notes" belongs to Taoist classics (not Taoism).  Now that a sect has been established, it must have an organizational structure and cater to the rulers at that time.  Borrowing Confucianism's idea of ??loyalty to the emperor can guide believers to be loyal to Taoist leaders, gain the approval of the court and ministers, and attract more scholars to believe in religion.

    Queen Anne said to Mazarin: "Let the businessman buy this book from China, translate it into French, and submit it to the French Academy for research. Especially the section 'A country cannot live without a king' must be vigorously promoted.  , let those rebels see it!"

    The paragraph "A country cannot live without a king" is too good, and it completely distorts Lao Tzu's thoughts when commenting!

    In the paragraph "will want to take the world and do it", Lao Tzu's key lies in the word "for", which can be understood as occupying, playing with, controlling, etc.

    It means that the power of the state is a very magical thing. Governing the world must be careful, and it must be guided by the situation and act naturally.  Governing the world with rough and tough means is doomed to failure, and may even lose control of the country.

    "Laozi Xianger Notes"The two parties bid farewell, which can be described as a good relationship between the host and the guest, and it is a good diplomatic story.

    Watching the fleet of envoys drift away, Louis XIV turned around and walked towards the city, and said to the guards: "I won't take the carriage, I want to walk back to the Louvre."

    The reason for this exquisite boy to walk back to the palace is very simple, he wants to show his new hairstyle to the Parisians.

    Louis XIV, who had 48 royal wig makers in history, still has no ancestral hair loss problem.  The hair on his head is abundant, and he can wear a small crown to make himself look more oriental.

    High-heeled shoes, tights, brocade robes, and now a small crown.

    Such a mash-up style of Chinese and Western styles, it really becomes the most beautiful boy on the street.  People have been discussing the king's hairstyle, and they think it looks awesome, and those who are a little rich already want to imitate it.

    Louis XIV held his head high, his heart full of pride.

    Of course the robe did not dare to mop the floor, it was rolled up and hung on the shoulders so as not to be soiled by street feces.  His hair crown is made of pure gold, inlaid with an emerald, which is much more expensive than the small crown of the Chinese envoy.

    This guy also wrote a letter to Zhao Han, all in Latin, not in French, it would appear disrespectful.

    In the letter, Louis XIV expressed his yearning for China and his admiration for the Chinese emperor.  He hopes to be friends with the emperor of China. In the future, he will rule the west, and the emperor of China will rule the east, and together they will lead the fashion trend of the world.

    ,

    Gifts from Portugal and France are stored in warehouses in the harbor.

    When the Chinese envoys return to the voyage, they will not only take away those gifts, but also bring the envoys of the two countries with them.  Among them, animals are the most troublesome. The horse breeds sent by France and the sheep breeds sent by Portugal have to be raised by special personnel for a period of time, so they will definitely not be able to travel around with the ship.

    Both horses and sheep were purchased on the initiative of the Chinese mission.  Upon hearing that the quantity was not very large, the royal families of both countries were too lazy to collect money, and even sent officials to carefully select them.

    Come to Grace Port again, across the strait is the United Kingdom.

    Not long after the voyage, Song Qin took a French booklet and found Zhang Ruifeng in the cabin: "Ambassador Zhang, I found a good book below. I was not familiar with French before, so I have been relaying it through the translator. The contents of this book  , is quite difficult, and the French translator can’t understand it. Up to now, I probably understand a lot. When I return to Nanjing, this book must be presented to His Majesty! It is best to organize missionaries who can understand French.  Seriously translate this book into Chinese."

    "What book?" Zhang Ruifeng asked.

    Song Qin replied: "The title of the book is very long, and I don't know if the translation is correct. It is called "Methodology for Correct Thinking and Discovering the Truth". The author is a famous French scholar Descartes. Like His Majesty, he actually created analytic geometry. His mathematical theory  , is highly respected in France. However, his philosophical thoughts have been besieged by French scholars."

    There were four scholars from the two academies who went to sea with the boat, and Song Qin was from Qintian Academy.

    He didn't speak much along the way, he only observed and recorded the geographical situation, and spent the rest of the time studying Latin.  When I arrived in France, I didn’t go to the banquet, but stayed in the Louvre to study French, and occasionally went to bookstores with an interpreter.

    Descartes' "Discourse on Method" only has a French version at this time, and there is no Latin version yet.  Although it has been published for more than ten years and the mathematical methods in the book are quite sought after, his philosophical works have been dismissed as worthless.

    The ship staggered towards England, Zhang Ruifeng happened to be idle and had nothing to do, so he asked, "What is written in the book?"

    Song Qin said: "It covers everything, including mathematics, physics, etc. The real precious thing is to explain how to do academic research. Your Majesty will be delighted to get this book."

    Zhang Ruifeng couldn't understand: "Be more specific."

    Song Qin said: "For example, the research of optics, Descartes, and the pedantry of Qintianyuan are consistent in many places. The rare thing is to use the principles of optics to explain how the eyes see things. We all know that when the eyes are dug out,  It is a sphere. According to Descartes, the eye is a convex lens Does Ambassador Zhang know about convex lenses?"

    "Ahem," Zhang Ruifeng coughed twice, then smiled, "Go on."

    Song Qin said: "The telescopes used by the generals are convex lenses. In Descartes' view, each of our eyes is a telescope. As for the myopia of scholars, it is because of problems with the convex lens that the optical focus is out of focus.  Variety."

    "So that's how it is," Zhang Ruifeng didn't understand, but kept smiling, "Go on."

    Song Qin said: "Descartes' mechanical cosmology also coincides with some scholars of Qintian Academy. Descartes is even more extreme, thinking that except for thoughts, the entire universe is mechanically moving, and everything can be controlled by mechanics."  Elaboration. All animals, including humans, are also governed by complex laws of mechanics. Even more valuable, is the epistemology and methodology of academic research proposed by Descartes."

    Without waiting for Zhang Ruifeng to speak, Song Qin talked eloquently: "There are three theories of epistemology: first, philosophy is the foundation of all natural sciences, which requires truth and reliability.  Basic cognition. Third, the reason for the wrong or unreliable foundation is that the method of establishing the foundation is incorrect, or even there is no method, so there must be methodology. Does Ambassador Zhang know how important these are to Qintianyuan?"

    "How important is it?" Zhang Ruifeng asked.

    Song Qin said: "It's just like "Zhu Zi Yu Lei" is to Song and Ming Neo Confucianism."

    Zhang Ruifeng was dumbfounded, he knew that the emperor attached great importance to Qintianyuan.  But today, the natural sciences of Qintian Academy have not yet been established, nor have they formed a strict system.  If it is true what Song Qin said, then take this "Methodology" back, and the knowledge of Qintianyuan will be able to establish a school.

    The more Song Qin talked, the more excited he became. Descartes' methodological content gave him a feeling of enlightenment.

    Descartes' four principles of methodology:

    First, put aside all prejudices and establish rational authority.  All knowledge is tested by reason, and the test is clear and beyond doubt.

    Second, split the research object into as small parts as possible until the problem can be solved satisfactorily.

    Third, to study science, there must be secondaryTransform Tai Chi, Tai Chi divides Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang Qi evolves all things.  Only with this big framework can we continue to study.

    The Qintian Academy established under Zhao Han's order also had this situation.  Scientists doubted the "Qi Li Theory" and couldn't come up with any new cosmology, so they argued about the birth and composition of the universe while doing specific research.

    Descartes inspired Song Qin, why did he have to confirm these when he came?

    It is true that there can be a worldview, the universe is material, and that is enough.  Since the universe is material, it can be slowly explored and studied.  How to study it?  The epistemology and methodology can be determined, and they can be continuously improved and supplemented from generation to generation.

    After writing a bunch of words and sentences, Song Qin wrote three key words: world outlook, epistemology, and methodology.

    Only by confirming these three things, the development of Chinese science can be truly systematized and theoreticalized, rather than trying to be lucky.

    Based on Song Qin's understanding alone, this mission to Europe is already worthwhile.

 Text 764【Gewu School】

    In addition to Pan Wei, Song Qin, and Cai Yuncheng, the last scholar who went to sea with the group was Li Sixiao.

    When Song Qin was summarizing scientific research methods, Li Sixiao entered the room with "Principles of Philosophy" and said excitedly: "Brother Yang, the book you recommended is really well written, Descartes is really a great European Confucian  !"

    Song Qin said with a smile: "I can't talk about a great Confucian. He is not a Confucian, but he is indeed a European sage."

    "Otherwise," Li Sixiao shook his head and said, "this Descartes is indeed a great Confucian, even though he has never read Confucian classics. The truth that this person comprehends, I will translate it as 'mind-matter theory' (mind-matter dualism), which coincides with Yang Minggong's  Great way of learning!"

    "ah?"

    Song Qin was dumbfounded when he heard that.

    Li Sixiao analyzed: "Descartes doubted everything. He believed in God, but he said he was not sure whether God existed. Because only doubt is real, and it is doubtful to be sure. Doubt proves that people are thinking, and thinking is human.  Proof of existence, so "I think, therefore I am". He was convinced of his own existence, and then he tried to prove the existence of God and the world. Thinking is the heart and conscience. I think, therefore I am, is there nothing outside the heart?  "

    Song Qin muttered, "Isn't this explanation too far-fetched?"

    "It's not farfetched!"

    Li Sixiao began to eloquently: "Li Sixiao of Yangminggong said: "Qi and reason are inseparable.  To be unreasonable is to be unintentional, to be unable to think, and to be unable to understand the rules of everything in the world.  Without Qi, neither people nor things exist.  Qi and reason, Descartes believed, it is reason that exists first.  Since gods existed first, everything and human beings can only exist when there are gods.  "

    "Is it true that Descartes' God can be understood as Zhu Zi's Wuji or Taiji. The heart is the principle. Qi is the world. We have a heart, a conscience, and can think and study the world. Those who are born to know are sages, and we  If you are not a saint, you need to study things to gain knowledge. To study the world and study knowledge is to develop conscience and explore everything in the universe. Knowing has obstacles, so you have to doubt, so you have to put aside your prejudices."

    "The existence of intellectual barriers and ignorant minds requires what you call epistemology and methodology."

    Song Qin didn't know much about psychology, and even only superficially knew about Neo Confucianism. He was not interested in traditional things, and he was all focused on scientific research.

    However, it is indeed possible to put on a layer of skin.

    Li Sixiao continued: "There is actually no essential difference between the worldviews of Neo-Confucianism and Psychology. We don't need to overthrow it, but can use it."

    "Therefore, there is a worldview for doing research. First there is Wuji or Taiji, which is the god that Descartes said. Taiji is divided into two forms, gestating

    In a word, the two want to borrow the cover of Confucianism and use the old bottle of Confucianism to hold the new wine of science.

    This kind of thing is perfectly normal, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the Chinese ideological circle was full of demons, and there were a lot of different thoughts.  Even Neo Confucianism and Psychology, which are incompatible with water and fire, have been improved and put together to form various new schools.

    Among countless new ideas, Li Sixiao's theory does not seem too outrageous, because there are many people who are even more outrageous.

    Today is not the time when traditional Neo-Confucianism is monopolizing the academic world. It is the best time for the birth of new ideas, and it is also the best time for the formation of natural science theories.

    Their core point of view is that what Confucius said may not be right, that is, the spirit of scientific skepticism.  This kind of thinking is also out of the ordinary. In the late Ming Dynasty, there were not a few people who were not Confucians, and many Confucian scholars wanted to break out of the cage of Confucianism and Mencius.  It's just that it was interrupted by the Qing Dynasty in history.  In order to establish legitimacy, the Manchu Qing erected Confucius, and all active and advanced thoughts died under the power.

    "Cheng Zhu has Neo Confucianism, Lu Wang has Xinxue, what should we call this?" Song Qin asked.

    Li Sixiao smiled and said: "When we study the world, the world view is generally consistent with Neo-Confucianism. The key lies in investigating things, and investigating things emphasizes doubts, and investigating the truth of things in doubt. It is called 'Gewu Xueska's research manuscript.

    If you follow the historical trajectory, next year, such a scientific genius will turn to theological research in an all-round way.

    Starting from skepticism, this gentleman came to a religious conclusion: perceptual and rational knowledge are unreliable, so faith is above all else!

    Later, when he was studying theology, he took time off to recuperate due to illness, and when he was in a panic, he also did some scientific research.  For example, he communicated with the mathematician Fermat and laid the foundation of modern probability together.

    His name is Pascal, and the unit of pressure is referred to as "Pa".

    "Can I go to China? When I corresponded with Mr. Descartes, he said that China's mathematics research is very advanced." Pascal asked.

    The official said with disgust: "We only recruit scholars from the Academy, or students of scholars. You are just a peripheral member of the Academy.What are the qualifications to go to China?  "

    Pascal said: "The emperor of China is a mathematician. Mr. Descartes, he once corresponded with the priests of the Jesuits. His Majesty the Chinese emperor, like Mr. Descartes, invented analytic geometry very early. If the envoys  There are mathematicians here, and I think we can have a common language with the Chinese emperor."

    When the official heard it, it seemed reasonable, and Pascal was also very famous.  So no longer refused, just said: "I'm going to ask the Prime Minister for instructions."

    Pascal

 Text 765【Travel in England】

    The Chinese mission stayed in a manor outside London.

    On this day, two young people came.

    They all rode horses with long swords hanging from their waists.  His identity seems to be aristocratic, but he has no retinues. Although the clothes are not cheap, they definitely do not look extravagant.

    It was the soldiers sent by Cromwell who were in charge of guarding the manor.

    An officer asked: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

    The leading boy said: "We are from the countryside twenty miles away. I heard that the Chinese envoys have arrived in London, so we want to travel with them to China."

    Obviously, both young men came from the country gentry class!

    In France in the 17th century, society was undergoing drastic changes, and so was Britain.

    The British traditional aristocracy is declining day by day, with huge expenses, extravagance, and land sales, while the gentry class is rising rapidly.

    Squire is a general term, including baron, knight, gentry (non-noble officials), gentleman (rich farmer).

    For example, the House of Commons in the United Kingdom was established by the country gentry.

    In addition, the British middle class is also on the rise, including citizens, businessmen and yeoman.

    The huge number of British emerging classes are in a period of vigorous growth.  They don't have the decadence and extravagance of traditional nobles, they are relatively simple, and they are daring to fight and break through, with the characteristics of vigor and vitality.

    And the wind of traveling with a sword also appeared at this time.

    A large number of wealthy British squires supported their children and grandchildren to go out to see the world.

    ?The initial travel goal was limited to Italy, to visit the birthplace of the Renaissance, and later gradually expanded to France, Spain, the Netherlands and other places.

    After the trend of traveling became popular, the British aristocrats also joined in, which caused the travel activities to gradually change.

    The young masters of these great aristocratic families have to embrace each other when they go out, and they will also bring the luxury carriages of the family.  There was more than one luxury carriage, and all of them were shipped away, and the cost was extremely staggering.

    The trend of traveling began in the 17th century and lasted until the 19th century.

    These young people are all elites. They have seen the situation of various countries, and they have also felt the essence and shortcomings of each country.  When they return to the country to inherit the family business, they will have an international perspective and lead the family to continue to expand and grow. Britain's ability to become an empire on which the sun never sets has nothing to do with this group of elites who travel around the world.

    "You wait, I'm going to report."

    Many of Cromwell's soldiers came from the middle class.  They can't understand the traditional big aristocrats, but they are friendly to the gentry class, and they cooperated with each other during the revolution.

    Why is it said that Cromwell is engaged in a bourgeois revolution?  Because the emerging class has made great efforts!

    Not long after, the two teenagers were interviewed.

    One is named John and the other is named Thomas, very common names.  The father of the former was a country knight, and the father of the latter was a farmer, both of very humble origins, who became rich because of social changes.

    The teenagers stood up straight, without much knowledge, but with a burst of vigor.

    Zhang Ruifeng asked about their identities and learned their thoughts, so she couldn't help wondering: "Going to China, crossing the sea for thousands of miles, and dying in the belly of a fish if you don't pay attention, why do you follow all the way?"

    John replied: "I was originally going to Rome, where there are great thinkers and artists. My father said that Britain is too small, and men must go out to broaden their horizons. Since it is to broaden their horizons, why not go further? China's exquisite  The goods have been sold to the UK, so China must be very powerful. I will travel to China, learn more skills, and lead the family to grow stronger. My father is just a country knight now, but one day, I will become a real nobleman with  Your own private manor!"

    Thomas said: "My father used to be a Yeoman (yeoman), and now he has a large farm. I studied in a church school, and I know some Latin. I was expelled from the school because I fought with noble children. Although the family  I’m not very rich, but my father supports me to travel. When I arrive in China, if I don’t have enough money, I will go to work as an apprentice and earn living expenses by myself. When I return to the UK, I will definitely be more capable. I want to make the family farm more  Big, if given the chance, I will strive to be a knight!"

    Zhang Ruifeng was quite emotional: "Young people travel far away with swords, which is a relic of the past. I also traveled away from home in my teens and followed my father to do business. You two have commendable ambitions, much better than those big nobles."

    John said: "The nobles are all blood-sucking bugs, they are the guys lying on the gold waiting to die!"

    Hard work can lead to a small fortune, but it is absolutely impossible to cross class by virtue of hard work.

    Like Thomas' father,Defeated the Netherlands for the first time.  If the Netherlands still does not agree to the negotiation conditions, we will pretend to form an alliance with China and pull out all the Dutch colonies in the East!  "

    "I'm afraid it won't frighten the Dutch," said General Lambayt. "Both sides understand that Britain is going to fail, and Holland is going to go.  Obtain more favorable negotiating terms."

    "Damn it!" Cromwell cursed depressed.

    The United Kingdom can't fight anymore, because the military expenditure has already been spent, and it is currently looking for businessmen everywhere for loans.

    The Netherlands cannot continue to fight, because businessmen are chasing profit, and the war has caused too much damage to the economy.  In Amsterdam, the Netherlands, due to being blocked for several months, prices have skyrocketed, and the trade of the East India Company has shrunk.

    General Lan Bai said: "The United Kingdom and the Netherlands are united. This proposal is too unrealistic. Let's give it up. It is impossible for the Netherlands to agree."

    The successful dissolution of Parliament in the UK made Cromwell a little bit adrift.

    He subconsciously believed that the Anglo-Dutch Union could do it.  There is no king to rule everyone. After the union, the Netherlands will be given sufficient autonomy, and the overseas forces of the two sides can also be united.  This is not bad for the Netherlands, why don't the Dutch agree?

    Neuropathy!

    The ignorant Dutchman made Cromwell calm down a little. He frowned and said, "Then give up the union and establish an Anglo-Dutch offensive and defensive alliance."

    General Lan Bai also said: "It is impractical for the Netherlands to give up its overseas interests. They are a group of businessmen who block their way of getting money and will force them to really work hard. If they are forced hard, maybe the Dutch businessmen will return to China."  Get together instead of falling apart like now."

    The two planned carefully and basically established the next negotiation plan.

    It is nothing more than asking for the cession of the colony and asking for reparations from the Netherlands.  There are also many prestige clauses, such as Dutch ships passing through British waters must stop and salute British ships.

    Of course, we have to continue to speak loudly, such as forcing the Netherlands to recognize the "Navigation Regulations".

    In the following negotiation process, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, and it was only a matter of time before the negotiation was successful.

    Under such circumstances, Cromwell finally met with the Chinese mission.  In order to show sincerity, I went to visit the manor in person, but due to financial constraints, I didn't bring any decent meeting gifts.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 766 [On Politics]

    The Chinese diplomatic mission was invited to participate in Cromwell's "enthronement" ceremony.

    According to the new and amended constitution, Cromwell served as Lord Protector of England, Scotland and Ireland.

    In his inaugural speech, he declared: "The protector of the country serves for life, jointly holds the legislative power with the Congress, and exercises executive power with the State CouncilThe bills of the parliament must be approved by the protector of the country to take effect."

    What do you mean?

    This position is for life, will not step down, and does not need to be re-elected midway.  Legislative power and executive power still belong to the parliament in name, but any decision must be made by the protector of the country.

    The British Parliament has been preserved, but only an empty shelf remains.

    "The king was killed, so he is definitely not Yi Yin and Huo Guang. But he did not usurp the throne and become king, so he is not Wang Mang's generation," Zhang Ruifeng discussed this, "So, what is Cromwell, the protector of the country?"

    What kind of?  Similar to a dictatorial president for life.

    Pan Wei thought carefully and said: "China has not had such a political system since ancient times, and we cannot judge the present from history. A country cannot live without a king. Although this statement comes from a Taoist classic, it is also an irrefutable fact. Cromwell's most fatal weakness  , It’s because he didn’t establish a succession system. He’s monopolizing the power right now, and of course no one dares to object, but what about after he dies?”

    Cai Yuncheng said: "When Cromwell dies, Britain will inevitably be in chaos. There are no more than three situations. First, his confidants support his son as the protector of the country; second, the royalists welcome back the restoration of the royal family;  The previous republic. These three situations are likely to occur at the same time, and it depends on which side wins."

    Zhang Ruifeng said: "Even if his son succeeds to the throne, it won't be possible for a long time. Because the position of protector of the country, the name is not right, the words are not right, and it is only a temporary establishment."

    In the eyes of the Chinese envoys, Cromwell is really not good at thinking.

    Now that you have mastered a country's military and political affairs, the first thing you need to establish is your own legal order and the continuation of the legal order.

    Cromwell's legislature was borrowed from Parliament, and the legitimacy itself is still in Parliament, and it is logical that he must return it after his death.  In this way, it is a one-shot deal, and I am so happy that I will die, regardless of the affairs behind me.  In China, they will be liquidated after death, and it is normal to ransack the family and exterminate the family.

    If you want to solve this problem once and for all, you must get rid of the parliament.

    Either really dissolve the parliament, or replace the parliament with your own people.  But neither of these methods is possible. Without Parliament, Cromwell's legal system is gone.  As for the members of the parliament, one radish and one pit, Cromwell can't change it even if he wants to.

    After a long time, Zhang Ruifeng made a concluding evaluation: "Cromwell is a powerful minister and warlord who is incapable of being king. What he really should do is to institutionalize the 'protector of the country' in order to save his own affairs. If the '  The protector of the country is hereditary, and will be opposed by the whole country. Therefore, the protector of the country should be elected. Doesn’t the European parliament like to vote? Then let the parliament vote for the protector of the country.”

    Cai Yuncheng nodded and said: "That's true. Once the system of voting for the protector of the country is established, after the death of Cromwell, the goal of the British powers will become a battle for the new protector of the country. No matter who succeeds the protector of the country, they will  Support Cromwell's system and do everything possible to prevent the restoration of the British royal family. In this way, Cromwell will not be whipped to death."

    Pan Wei shook his head: "The power of the protector of the country was taken from the parliament. If one Cromwell is enough for the parliament, they will elect a second one? If the parliament is allowed to elect a new protector of the country  Lord, the first reaction of the parliament was to vote to abolish the protector system."

    A knot that cannot be untied.

    In the British revolution, too little blood was shed, and it was full of compromises. Cromwell was not qualified to be Napoleon.

    Lu Tianxiang said: "There is no need to discuss what happened to Cromwell. What does this person mean? He actually disagrees with the alliance between China and Britain to deal with the Netherlands in Asia."

    "I don't understand." Zhang Ruifeng shook his head.

    Of course normal people can't understand it, because Cromwell's idea is too weird.

    He first wanted to engage in the Anglo-Dutch Commonwealth and together dominate the world.  After the Dutch clearly refused, they wanted to form an Anglo-Dutch alliance and use the Dutch overseas power to help the British colonial expansion.

    The Dutch are not fools, I have worked so hard to break through the situation, let you British guys come to pick peaches?

    Cromwell was too conceited to think he had the Dutchman.

    In fact, the final treaty between Britain and the Netherlands only forced the Netherlands to recognize the "Navigation Regulations".  And this kind of acknowledgment is a superficial acknowledgment, and it is violated in actual operation.

    Except for reparations and an island, nothing changed for Britain.  The indemnity is not enough to make up for the war expenses, the use of Kojima; Since the envoys went to sea, Cromwell is the most hated leader of a country.

    Whether it is Mughal, Persia or France, even the king of Portugal is generous.  Delicious food and drinks are offered, and you can just say what you want. There is a valuable meeting gift when you come, and there is a farewell gift when you leave.

    But Cromwell didn't say anything, and the meeting ceremony was pitifully shabby.

    This product was at war with the Netherlands, and the British finances almost collapsed.  He spent a lot of his own savings during the uprising, so he couldn't afford to entertain the Chinese envoys.

    Even for ordinary diplomatic contracts, Cromwell is very careful, for fear of being cheated by China.

    You can see that the Queen Mother of France hardly objected to the conditions proposed by China, nor did she think about taking advantage of China through the treaty.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 767【Cromwell Difficult to Communicate】

    "Boom!"

    At the negotiation scene, Zhang Ruifeng was so angry that he slapped the table, pointed at Cromwell and cursed: "Zhuzi, how dare you entertain me like this!"

    Cromwell didn't want to get stuck, so he quickly explained: "Mr. Messenger, what I said just now was just a proposal, and everything can be discussed slowly. If Mr. Messenger agrees, Britain will definitely return something, and you can put forward any conditions."

    Zhang Ruifeng wanted to leave in a huff, suppressing his anger and said: "Although Sulu, Brunei, and Palembang are all Chinese territories, they have their own customs. Especially in Sulu and Brunei, they have kings."  .They did not betray His Majesty the Emperor of China. Chinese officials cannot interfere. You'd better put away your gangster ideas!"

    Sulu, Brunei, and Palembang all generally believe in the Green Church. Now with the support of China, missionaries have been fully expelled and Christian churches have been demolished.

    Cromwell actually wanted to obtain missionary rights in these three places through China.

    In addition, Sulu and Brunei are also rich in commodities such as pearls and spices.  These goods were initially controlled by Spain, after which China and the Netherlands jointly monopolized the trade.

    With the outbreak of the naval battle between China and the Netherlands, the sultans of the two countries quickly made their attitude clear, announcing that spices and pearls were only sold to Chinese businessmen.

    Cromwell was simply inexplicable. He wanted to obtain the trading rights between the two countries without doing anything.

    As the negotiations went on, the Chinese envoys felt more and more that this guy was crazy.

    In terms of diplomatic negotiations, Cromwell has always been like this.

    He demanded the annexation of the Anglo-Dutch Federation, and then the Anglo-Dutch alliance. This has already been said, so I won't repeat it.

    A few years ago, Portugal just wanted to establish diplomatic relations with the United Kingdom, and Cromwell threw out a bunch of conditions out of thin air, treating Portugal as a colony.

    For example, allow Portugal to open global ports, allow British missionaries to preach and build churches in Portugal, and so on.  At that time, Joao IV was dumbfounded, and even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears.  Each of these harsh conditions is more outrageous than the other.  Portugal is a country that believes in Catholicism. What does it mean to allow British Protestants to come in?  The Thirty Years War of Religion had just ended.

    Cromwell was like an unreasonable child, and the other children didn't provoke him, and even said out of kindness: "I think you are good, let's be friends." Cromwell replied: "Being friends is fine.  You give me your toy and your lollipop, so that you can be my friend."

    Joao IV experienced this at the beginning, and the Chinese diplomatic mission is now experiencing it again.

    Cromwell said: "As long as it obtains trade rights in Brunei and Sulu, Britain agrees to form an offensive and defensive alliance with China to prevent the expansion of Dutch colonial trade in Asia."

    Zhang Ruifeng is a good-tempered person. He was so angry that he laughed, and his anger disappeared in an instant: "Your Majesty the Protector, China does not owe Britain anything, and does not need the cooperation of the United Kingdom to suppress the Netherlands to death. I  Before going to sea, His Majesty the Emperor ordered dialogue and diplomacy with all countries on an equal footing. Since you are not sincere, let’s stop talking. In addition, I advise you to let officials do the negotiations in the future. It’s really not good for you to do it yourself.  suitable."

    Cromwell is really a diplomatic genius, as long as he participates in negotiations, he will offend one by talking about one.

    Previously, the parliament was responsible for negotiating with the Netherlands. The negotiations were good, but the Dutch were almost compromised.  Cromwell insisted on standing up, forcing the Commonwealth of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands, and the Dutch negotiators were so angry that they almost flipped the table.

    Facts have proved that after Cromwell personally negotiated and signed the armistice agreement with the Netherlands, although the United Kingdom has won the hemp on the surface, many of the contents of the treaty cannot be operated and have no practical significance at all.  If the whole process is handed over to Parliament for negotiation, the UK will gain more effective benefits.

    This product seems a little narcissistic, but also a bit paranoid.

    Leaving the negotiating table, Zhang Ruifeng strode out of the room, and said to the left and right: "I have nothing to say to this guy. When Lord Fan returns from the Mediterranean Sea, we will immediately return to China by boat. It's just unreasonable!"

    In the next half month, Cromwell talked in person several times.

    Zhang Ruifeng always had a smile on his face. No matter how outrageous the other party's suggestion was, he always made an excuse to go back to China to ask Emperor Zhao for instructions.  In a word, I'm tired, so I don't want to talk to you.

    Fan Chao finally came back with the fleet, and he said: "I haven't seen the Pope, but the Pope sent someone to pass on a message. He said that if China wants to establish diplomatic relations with the Papal State, missionaries must be allowed to preach freely, and Chinese believers are not allowed to worship Confucius again."  Ancestor. I was so angry that I didn't bother to wait any longer, so I visited a few small Italian countries by the way."

    "How about those small states?" Zhang Ruifeng asked.

    Return of Fan ChaoCollect crops of economic value by way of.

    In particular, it is not uncommon for pastures to be introduced and improved. Chinese alfalfa was introduced by Zhang Qian in the Han Dynasty.  Alfalfa is not only used to raise livestock, it was also an important food material in ancient China.

    During this trip to sea, we got ryegrass seeds in Persia and Europe.

    The fairway of the golf course, the lawn is ryegrass, which is also an extremely important pasture.  The ryegrass in Persia is suitable for planting in the northwestern provinces of China.  The ryegrass in Europe is suitable for planting in the southern provinces of China.

    In addition, the mission also collected some vegetable seeds.

    For example, when the fleet sailed through the southwest corner of Africa and docked at the Portuguese colonial port, everyone clamored for vegetables.  Therefore, they explicitly asked for vegetables to be supplied, and the Portuguese took the opportunity to rip off and send a lot of local fruits and vegetables at high prices.  One of the vegetables was unheard of, and Zhang Ruifeng hurriedly paid for the seeds.

    Hundreds of years later, this stuff was called Bingcai in China.  Salt-alkali and drought-resistant, it can grow in seaside and desert areas.

    It is amazing that after discussion among the members of the mission, they unanimously named this vegetable "ice vegetable".  On its emerald green branches and leaves, there are things that look like "ice beads", which are hard and cold to touch with hands, and it tastes icy and refreshing.

    Moreover, iced vegetables have their own salt content, so you don't need to add salt when cooking.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 768 [A Blasphemer?  】

    During the stay of the Chinese mission in London, anyone can come to visit, with the exception of the Dutch negotiating team.

    When the Chinese mission left London, the Anglo-Dutch negotiations also collapsed again, and the Netherlands was so angry that they also slapped the table and left, almost saying that they would return to China to organize a fleet to fight again.

    The atmosphere of the negotiations between the two parties had originally eased.

    Cromwell said, since it is not possible to merge the two countries into a federation, then we will establish an offensive and defensive alliance.  The Dutch felt that this could be discussed. After continuing to negotiate for half a month, they were so angry that they almost swear, "I'm talking about your mother!"

    The Dutch felt that Lao Tzu colonized the world, and the number of merchant ships was overwhelming.  If the United Kingdom and the Netherlands form an alliance, the Netherlands should at least have a dominant position, if not a dominant one.  But Cromwell kept throwing out conditions. The alliance was dominated by the United Kingdom, and the Netherlands became a long-term free wage earner for the United Kingdom.

    The Dutch negotiator is the same as Zhang Ruifeng.  He did not directly reject Cromwell's proposal, but said that he could not make the decision and would return to the Dutch Parliament for instructions.

    When the ship left the port of London, the Dutch negotiating team leader was extremely depressed and said through gritted teeth, "Cromwell, this bastard, must have been kicked out of his brain by a horse. He thought he was the king of the Netherlands!"

    A member of the negotiating team said, "According to the news from spies, China seems to have also talked about the trade cooperation between the two countries with the UK. This kind of cooperation is mutually beneficial, which proves that China and the Netherlands are naturally trading partners.

    Immediately afterwards, the Chinese delegation was invited to visit the Netherlands.

    Anyway, not far away, the Chinese diplomatic mission accepted the invitation and stayed in Amsterdam for a few days.

    Zhang Ruifeng feels that she has been swindled, and the Dutch are just talking nonsense every day.  That's all that comes and goes, and it's all about what the Treaty of Batavia has already signed.  But it's better than nothing. The governor of Batavia signed the contract before, and now he has signed a more formal one.

    Immediately, the Chinese fleet left the Netherlands and went to Grace Port to pick up gifts from the British royal family, French envoys and horse breeds on board.

    Before the Chinese fleet sailed out of the French waters, Dutch diplomats began to dispatch, publicizing the "allies" relationship between China and the Netherlands.  The British businessman was really frightened, and asked to see Cromwell every day, forcing Cromwell to negotiate and compromise.

    Lisbon.

    Although the Chinese fleet does not plan to dock, there is no need to leave without saying goodbye.

    Afraid of contracting smallpox, a member of the Chinese mission came to the pier in a small boat, pressed the letter on the pier, and asked the tax collector to send the letter to the palace.

    After reading this letter, King Joao IV felt really miserable.

    I have never heard of such an unlucky king as himself. He has been on the throne and restored the country for more than ten years, all for the purpose of obtaining the history of the outside world. In nine years, he will die of illness at the age of 39.

    The doctor checked Pascal's body at that time and found that the flesh of his waist had been stabbed by the spikes on his belt, bloody and stinking with pus!

    This mathematician lost his mother when he was young, so he never went to school and only studied with his father and sister.

    At the age of 12, he calculated the first 32 theorems of Euclid alone, and found that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.  His father was very surprised, and finally began to teach him mathematics systematically.

    At the age of 13, he discovered the law of the binomial expansion coefficient, which was later named "Pascal's triangle".

    At the age of 15, he discovered a principle of projective geometry and deduced more than 400 inferences in a year.

    At the age of 16, he wrote "On Conic Sections".  Most of the book was lost, and only one conclusion circulated, which was later named "Pascal's Theorem".

    Between the ages of 20 and 30, he mainly studied vacuum and hydrostatics, producing a large number of research results, compiled as "Essays on Liquid Equilibrium and Air Weight".

    This collection of essays was not published because some of the content did not conform to the doctrine.

    Also during this research process, Pascal felt at a loss and panicked.  The more he explored the natural sciences, the more eccentric he said, "Why not? You only believe in one god, and we have to believe in hundreds of gods. The Jade Emperor, the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty, the Tathagata Buddha, Guan Shengdijun, Mazu Niangniang If you don't  Keep it at a respectful distance, how tiring is that, what else can I do?"

    "Hundreds of gods?" Pascal was dumbfounded, "How can a person believe in hundreds of gods? Isn't that a hypocrite?"

    Song Qin asked, "Then what is a true believer?"

    Pascal said, "Believe in God, serve God, everything belongs to God."

    Li Sixiao and Song Qin looked at each other, thinking that the Europeans were all brains, and it was completely unreasonable to reason with them.

    Li Sixiao asked, "I heard that you also have many research results. If everything is attributed to God, these results are too.God researched it?  "

    Pascal said, "Everything in the world was created by God, including our mind and body. My research results come from mind and body, so they come from God."

    Li Sixiao decided not to debate anymore, and said, "Then you should treat everything as God-given, and do research with peace of mind in the future, and don't have too many distracting thoughts."

    Pascal struggled, "Butmany of my research results deviate from the Bible. Even, they deviate from God himself, and I feel like a sinner."

    Song Qin was extremely speechless and said, "Then

    ,

    On the way back, if there is anything different, there is an extra supply station near the Cape of Good Hope.

    This broken place was occupied by the Dutch, and the person in charge was called Van Riebeck.  He was thrown here with a boat, and at first he had to plant the land himself. After barely settling down, he quickly went to the neighborhood to catch black people to help, and now he is even digging aqueducts.

    ?Black people are so stupid that they can only work as low-level free laborers. If they want to develop into a port city, they need more Asian talents.

    Van Riebeck has already written to the governor of Batavia, asking him to exile a group of Javanese natives.  If nothing else happens, next year hundreds of Javanese will be sentenced to death for their heinous crimes, and the Governor Mercy will instead exile them to Cape Town.

    Cape Town, just around the corner.

    At this time, it wasn't even a village, just a group of exiled Dutchmen who beat the black slaves to work there all day long.  Due to the difficulty of supply, the food cannot be self-sufficient, and the black slaves do not dare to catch too many. Anyway, it is a dilapidated small village by the sea.

    Who would have expected that it would eventually become the capital of a country?

    The Cape of Good Hope is still so terrifying, where warm currents and cold currents meet, and the hydrological environment in the sea is extremely complicated.  The strong westerly jet stream blows across the Atlantic Ocean unobstructed, and there are constant storms and stormy waves all year round.

    Occasionally, there will be murderous waves, the height of which can reach 20 meters, and people and boats can go to the sky physically.

    Therefore, in order to avoid the murderous waves, the ships that come and go will basically not choose to cross the Cape of Good Hope in winter.  In the Cape of Good Hope in winter, the sea water seems to be boiled, the killing waves and the whirling waves are superimposed, and the entire sea surface is crazily surging and rolling.

    At the beginning of the great voyage, people were not familiar with the Cape of Good Hope, but now they have gradually figured out the situation.

    Of course, you have to look at the face.

    For example, the famous navigator Dias went there in a relatively safe summer, but he encountered strong winds and waves. Fortunately, he was pushed to the shore and survived.  The return voyage was at the end of winter, the most dangerous season at the Cape of Good Hope, but what greeted him was sunny and sunny.  More than ten years later, Dias finally died at the Cape of Good Hope, the entire fleet was wiped out by the murderous waves, and he chose the most suitable season.

    The Chinese fleet is very lucky at this time. The biggest wave in the nearby sea is only four or five meters high, which is very suitable for crossing the Cape of Good Hope.

    "Wow!"

    John, a British country boy, and his little friend Thomas, even grabbed the cable and cheered.

    These two guys, perhaps from lower backgrounds, do not have the arrogance of the British.

    On the contrary, industrious and simple, work hard.

    After boarding the ship, they asked to be sailors.  Of course, they are not serious sailors, and they just help wash the deck. The monotonous and tiring work, but the two teenagers are very happy to do it.

    Another wave hit, lifting the boat several meters high.  The strong westerly wind was blowing, and it was impossible to stand on the deck without holding on to something.

    Water kept falling from the sky, and it was unclear whether it was rain or falling sea water.

    John was drenched to the skin, looked up at the cloudy sky, and shouted with emotion: "It's too spectacular. If I stay in the UK, I will definitely not see this kind of scene!"

    In Thomas' ears, there was only the sound of the wind and waves, and he roared and asked, "What did you say?"

    "Lower the sails, all the jibs are lowered!"

    The leader among the sailors hissed and gesticulated.

    After a toss, it finally passed safely.

    Prince Charles is also on deck. This guy likes excitement and adventure, and likes to learn various low-level skills.  It is estimated that when he arrived in China, he was already a qualified sailor.

    "Your Majesty the King!"

    The two country boys hurriedly saluted Charles.

    This Prince Charles, after his father was executed, was once crowned king by the Scottish nobles.

    Not the King of England, but the King of Scotland!

    Charles was still excited, but at the same time felt lingering fear, and said with a smile: "This is the Cape of Good Hope, and people will never be able to conquer it."

    Thomas immediately flattered: "Your Majesty is brave and fearless, and can conquer everything!"

    Charles said with a smile: "If I can conquer England, I will appoint you as my captain of the guard."

    Thomas said happily: "Swear allegiance to His Majesty to the death!"

    The situation is nonsense. The two London country boys belong to the emerging gentry class in England.  It was these squires who overthrew the rule of the old king and slaughtered the old king.

    But after they got in touch with Prince Charles, they immediately chose to curry favor.  No matter what happens in the future, meet the prince in exile, ?Don't even think about it, wood can't be brewed for ten years.

    If you don't ask China to help build the ship, Said will have to save up slowly by himself, and it will take decades to finally build a fleet.  At that time, he will become the overlord of the Indian Ocean and beat the Portuguese merchant ships around.

    ? When leaving Oman, there were more than 30 more Arabs on the Chinese envoy fleet. These guys brought money to the Chinese shipyard.

    The next stop is the port of Bassain, India.

    This is the territory of the Bijapur Kingdom. On the surface, Mughal's suzerainty is recognized, but in private, it is constantly making small moves.

    Just in this country, a Hindu youth in his 20s is fighting against Mughal and Bijapur.

    The young master of a small Hindu lord's family, only a mid-level officer, dared to resist two big powers at the same time.  And the team continued to grow, and in another year, they even attacked four countries at the same time, and repeatedly wandered around the borders of the four countries.

    A few years later, the results continued to expand.  Killed the commander-in-chief of Bijapur, killed the son of the Mughal vice king, captured the Mughal coastal city of Surat, and forced the Mughal army to withdraw from the Deccan Plateau.

    During this period, the young man was once ordered by the Mughals to cede 23 castles and a large area of ??land in exchange for recognition of the status of the Mughals.  But the Mughal emperor backtracked and wanted to trap and kill him.  The young man escaped successfully, and then fought against the Mughals for more than 30 years, causing the Mughals' finances to collapse completely, and finally established their own country.

    This young man, named Jatpharati Sivaji, was known as the "Father of the Indian Navy" hundreds of years later.

    When the Chinese fleet docked, Sivaji was leading troops to attack.

    A group of well-armed Bijapur soldiers were killed by ragged Hindu rebels and fled to a Portuguese castle to seek asylum.

    "War, there is a war here!" Prince Charles shouted excitedly.

    Lu Tianxiang no longer had any interest in fighting, and said: "This country is in war, so we don't need supplies for now, go to the south and pick a safer port. ?

 Body 770【Return of the Mission】

    &amp;lt;div id=&amp;quot;tet_c&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Some Chinese crew members have gone ashore and are talking to the Portuguese about supplies.

    The sudden appearance of the Hindu rebel army frightened the Portuguese and quickly hid in the castle. The Chinese crew also retreated to the ship in an orderly manner under the cover of the army.

    "Da da da da!"

    Then hundreds of light cavalry appeared, and these light cavalry were too light.  Except for a few officers who wear armor, the rest of the soldiers are all wearing civilian clothes, but their complexion is relatively fair.

    An Indian cavalry composed purely of landowners and yeoman!

    Chhatrapati Sivaji, who was only 4 years old, was not afraid of the Portuguese in the castle at all. He rode around the castle to the pier and asked, "Are you Chinese envoys?"

    This guy spoke Marathi, and no one in the Chinese envoy could understand it.

    Sivaji rode to the castle again, and shouted inside: "Come out, I'll hire him as an interpreter!"

    The Portuguese really came out. After receiving the translation fee, they happily ran to contact the Chinese.

    Both Zhang Ruifeng and Lu Tianxiang were quite curious and felt that the leader of the Indian rebel army was very special, so they stood on the bow of the boat and talked with Sivaji from the air.

    This guy introduced himself with a bang: "My name is Chhatrapati Sivaji, a resister of Mughal bandits, a protector of all Hindus, and all Marathas.

    Later, he was besieged by the Mughal vice king and led his troops, and he sneaked into the city with only a few cronies to assassinate him.  He stabbed the vice king of Mughal and killed the son of the vice king, but he was able to escape safely.  Such behavior caused chaos in the Mughal army, and the Mughal deputy king also lost his mind. Sivaji successfully broke through with the main force in the ensuing battle.

    He will be the founder of the Maratha Empire in India. The territory of the country at its peak will almost unify North India, and it will also occupy a large part of South India. The territory is about half of the South Asian subcontinent (the Mughal Empire was  It’s gone, you can only actually control the palm-sized area).  Later, due to infighting among descendants, the country was dismembered by the British East India Company during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty.

    When Aurangzeb ruled the Mughals, the main enemy was Sivaji's Hindu army.

    Until the death of Aurangzeb, the Mughals were unable to destroy Shivaji's power.  In turn, Sivaji also collected protection fees from the Mughal governor, used the protection fees to subsidize the finances, and reduced the agricultural tax on the site by one-third.

    To use a metaphor, it is like when Zhao Han was entrenched in Jiangxi, he collected protection money from the governors of Huguang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Nanzhi in the Ming Dynasty

    "Long live Hinduism!"

    Sivaji held up his exquisite musket and shouted, and the soldiers under his command cheered up and shouted, stripping away the enemy, which was still the general outbreak of religious and ethnic conflicts in India.  He was born in the Marathi tribe, which belonged to the Indo-European race. Most of them belonged to the third and fourth castes. They were mainly Hindus, and their occupations were low-ranking officers, soldiers, landowners and farmers.  This kind of religious and ethnic composition is a natural rebel group!

    Sivaji fled with troops, and the Marathas joined the army enthusiastically.  Not Charles. If he returns to England to raise troops, the squires will beat him up.

    Just when Charles was inquiring about the situation, the officers in the Chinese mission also approached the Portuguese to learn about the situation.

    The rise of Sivaji is an important news that must be included in the work report.

    During the few days when he docked for supplies, Prince Charles was in the castle like a fish in water.  From civil servants to ordinary soldiers, everyone likes to deal with him, and some Portuguese even took him to visit brothels.

    This guy likes to toss around, and even led more than a dozen Portuguese soldiers to ride a horse for twenty miles to appreciate the local customs of India.  By the way, I saved an Indian girl and came back

    The Indian girl's father, to put it bluntly, is a maharajah, but to put it bluntly, he is only a large town.  Because of her conversion to the Green Church, she was slaughtered by the rebel army. The girl whose family was ruined, starved and fainted on the side of the road. She was almost gang-raped by a group of untouchables. She was believed and associated with Cromwell.

    Cromwell's starting capital was 60 cavalry.

    Sixty country gentry cavalry, some country knights, some rich farmers.  They brought their own horses and weapons, followed Cromwell through life and death, and their fighting will and discipline far surpassed the king's cavalry.  Cromwell's later cavalry unit was based on these sixty cavalry, and all members came from the country gentry class.

    As for Cromwell's infantry, the composition is workers, apprentices and citizens.

    All of them are emerging classes, fighting for their own interests, and their morale is overwhelming when they fight.  You don't even need to pay the military salary, just take care of the food.

    Charles continued to inquire about the heroic achievements of the Datong Army.??Blowing wildly, and finally brought up the battle of Nanjing: "In the previous Ming Dynasty, there were four capitals. One was in Beijing, the second was in Nanjing, the third was in Fengyang, and the fourth was in Zhongxiang. Nanjing is the capital second only to Beijing, and now it is also  I am the capital of the Datong imperial court. The walls of Nanjing are tall and strong, and there are tens of thousands of defenders inside. I only have more than a dozen warships under my command, and hundreds of sailors When I started fighting, I took off my clothes and didn’t bother to wear armor.  The city gate should be opened inside, and I braved the arrow rain to kill seven in and seven out"

    The translator looked weird, and Charles was stunned.

 Text 771 [Xu Ying's new errand]

    The Chinese diplomatic mission went to sea from the port of Shanghai in the winter of the tenth year of the Republic of China.

    The spring of the eleventh year.

    The report on the suppression of chaos in Guangnan Province was finally delivered to Zhao Han.

    "Hanoi, Nghe An, and Thanh Hoa have a total of more than 60,000 rioters, most of whom are peasants instigated by the Vietnamese gentry," said Song Yingxing, the chief assistant of Datong, who was reading a report on the situation in Guangnan Province.  There are more than 500 officials in total. It seems that the number is huge, but in fact it is difficult to govern the villages and towns, and the countryside is still controlled by the gentry.”

    "There have been more than 100 peasant associations in Guangnan Province. Based on the peasant associations, more than 80 peasant brigades have been formed. However, the influence of the Yue gentry is too great. More than 80 Guangnan peasants  The brigade was supposed to be used by the imperial court, but half of it participated in this riot."

    "The local scholars in Guangnan are mostly from the families of Yue gentry. They spread rumors everywhere, and the benevolent government implemented by His Majesty was distorted by them into tyranny. The peasants in Guangnan didn't know what to do, so they rebelled in a daze."

    "The gentry of the Yue nationality still wanted to get rid of themselves and only planned in secret. Those who took the lead were those Guangnan tyrants, ruffians, and bandits"

    "In this battle, a total of more than 6,000 rebels were killed and more than 30,000 were captured. The rest of the rebels all broke up and fled, and a few fled into the mountains. Our officers and soldiers killed 19 people and seriously injured 16 people.  The wasteland on the riverbank should be handed over to the Han people there for management. Also, send a mission team there to help the Han people in Nanqi form a militia, and it would be best to build a school.”

    Zhao Han took a closer look and was suddenly speechless.

    The so-called land of Nanqi is the seaside area of ??the Mekong Delta.  And Haxian Town, where overseas Han people live together, is actually at the mouth of the Mekong River—many of the Han people in Hexian Town fled to sea in the Ming Dynasty.  There are also some Han merchants who settled there to do business, specializing in the purchase of Cambodian local products.

    The lower reaches of the Mekong River are full of mangroves and deserted beaches, which have not been reclaimed at all at this time, so although the King of Cambodia is unhappy, he has been turning a blind eye and closing his eyes.  Even the Cambodian officials, gentry and aristocrats are still doing business with the Han merchants in Ha Tien Town, and they are happy to see the Han people get together.

    After thinking carefully, Zhao Han said: "If half of the Yue prisoners are exiled, I am afraid the Han people in Nanqi will not be able to suppress them. How about we only exile 3,000 Yue prisoners and let them go to Nanqi to reclaim wasteland and atone for their sins, and integrate with the local Han people as soon as possible.  2,000 of the remaining Yue captives were exiled to Taiwan, scattered and distributed to various counties in Taiwan. Another 500 were exiled to Malacca, and 1,000 were exiled to Palembang. The rest were all relocated to the mountainous areas of Yunnan and Guangxi.  , Mining in Guangxi. Girls over 16 years old immigrate to the north. There are more men than girls in the north, and there is a shortage of women to marry. Children under the age of 16 migrate to the north with their mothers."

    After thinking about it, Zhao Han added: "No matter men or women, regardless of age, if you want to immigrate to a place of bitter cold, you can keep your family reunited, and all of them will move to the Songhua River Basin in the northeast!"

    The imperial court wanted to build the capital of Heilongjiang, and the Songhua River Basin was seriously short of people.  The Vietnamese gentry immigrated to the past, and those who were not familiar with the place must be better governed than the Mongols there.

    "Your Majesty is merciful!"

    All the ministers shouted.

    It is indeed kind, adding this sentence, many Vietnamese gentry can escape the fate of mining, and can also avoid the end of their wives and children.  As for whether he will be frozen to death, it depends on luck. Anyway, the government will try to arrange it properly.

    This time, 36 ethnic groups in Vietnam were ransacked in one go. Although only the main members of the great clan were arrested, and the minor branches were not moved, Vietnam should be able to stop.

    Many of them caught the wrong ones, and perhaps some big families really did not participate in the rebellion.  But who's really going to tell the difference?  Being a big family is the original sin, maybe not participating in the rebellion, but exploiting the people is definitely enough.

    Next, assimilate slowly, it may take several generations

    All the ministers withdrew, and Xu Ying was invited in by the female officer.

    "Walk with me." Zhao This is purely "retirement disease". He is full of energy when he is working on the job, and all kinds of problems will appear when he returns home after retirement.

    "It's a pity." Xu Ying echoed, but in fact he didn't have much friendship with Li Banghua.

    After walking for a while, Zhao Han suddenly said: "Go to Jiangsu to be the chief minister. The merchants there are getting more and more troublesome. Salt affairs, as well as commercial taxes, check it out hard, and I will let the inspector  The hospital is fully cooperating.”

    Xu Ying immediately had a serious expression: "The inspectorate can't even investigate, and you still want to select a chief executive to sit in the town?"

    Zhao Han said: "The Procuratorate is sure to be able to investigate, but the intertwined relationship needs to be sorted out slowly. Jiangsu's business is booming, and collusion between officials and businessmen has also increased. It needs to be dealt with severely for several years, not to investigate and kill a few officials.  Just do it."

    ? Jiangsu is the fastest-growing province, with the highest industry and commerce in the country, and the population?? is also rising wildly.

    In another ten years, Jiangsu's population is likely to rank first in the country.

    Zhao Han thought for a while, and said, "The Tianzheng in Jiangsu seems to have a big problem."

    "What's wrong with Tian Zheng?" Xu Ying frowned.

    Zhao Han said: "Although the imperial court tried its best to relieve disasters, it is inevitable that there are people who can't take care of them. There are so many farmers, some owe huge debts in business, and some are seriously ill and helpless. Some even participated in gambling and lost their entire family.  swing

    Zhao Han said: "If you go to govern Jiangxi, you must do three things well. Clean up Jiangsu's salt affairs, clean up Jiangsu's commercial taxes, and curb the trend of changing rice to mulberry!  It’s enough to fight, and the Procuratorate will help you. If it doesn’t work, kill a few wealthy businessmen. If my brother-in-law doesn’t know how to do it, he can kill him together!”

    "Yes!" Xu Ying bowed upright.

    Xu Ying's black guard was previously represented by his deputy.

    Now that Xu Ying has officially resigned, the Black Guards will be formalized, and the administrative level is similar to that of the Procuratorate.  Too lazy to think about the name, Zhao Han planned to change the name to "National Security Institute".

    Neither the Procuratorate nor the National Security Council has the power to arrest, but at critical times, they can bypass the cabinet and be directly responsible to the emperor.

 Text 772 [Eastern Palace Official]

    The former Zuo Buzheng of Jiangsu was called Gan Tangshu, a scholar in Fengcheng County, Jiangxi.

    If you only look at the growth rate of population and taxation, he has made remarkable achievements in Jiangsu.  No one can make a mistake, and Zhao Han also can't make a mistake, so he was transferred back to the central center for promotion, and directly became the left servant of the Ministry of Commerce - the grade was lowered by one level, but it was a real promotion.

    Gan Tangshu went through the appointment formalities, went to the palace to meet the emperor, and went to call on Yu Shiqin the next day.

    The left servant of the Ministry of Commerce actually took the initiative to call on the right servant of the Ministry of Industry!

    ? After being used by Li Rixuan to be arrogant all day long, Yu Shiqin was able to maintain his sanity after a full year.  But those who are really familiar with him can already feel the change, Yu Shiqin's words are becoming more and more impolite.

    The two belonged to old friends for many years. After exchanging pleasantries, Gan Tangshu asked: "Regard cousin, Brother Yu was transferred back to Beijing, and His Majesty let Xu Ying succeed him in Jiangsu. What does this mean? Xu Ying used to be in charge of the 'Jinyiwei'  !"

    Yu Shiqin also frowned, shook his head and said, "I don't understand. Your Majesty has always hidden deep meaning in his actions. Could it be that he is dissatisfied with Jiangsu's officialdom? But in Jiangsu Province, the number of household registrations is increasing day by day, business and commerce are booming, culture and education are flourishing, and there are so many taxes.  What made His Majesty unhappy? After thinking about it, we may be overthinking. Your Majesty simply wants to promote Xu Ying, let him take charge of the government first, and then transfer back to the imperial court as Minister."

    "I hope so." Gan Tangshu was still a little uneasy.

    Both of them felt that the situation in Jiangsu was very good, and they couldn't find any loopholes.

    Yu Shiqin said: "Imperial departments need a major adjustment, and the plan has come out. From now on, there will be the cabinet, eight ministries, two courts, one government, one party, and twelve cao.  The minister will join the cabinet as prime minister." Yu Shiqin laughed, "I'm also going to move from the right servant to the left servant."

    Gan Tangshu cupped her fists and said, "Congratulations brother!"

    ?Eight departments: officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishment, industry, commerce, and finance.

    Two Houses: Inspectorate and National Security Council.

    One line: Datong Bank.

    ?One Mansion: The Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Sixth Army.

    Twelve Caos: Corresponding to the eight ministries, two courts, one line and one government respectively.

    This is the complete system of the Datong New Dynasty, unless major problems are encountered, Zhao Han will not adjust it in the future.

    Of course, fine-tuning will be done. Since the generals are all powerful, we can only let the civilian officials suppress the generals from the system, and even so, it is a bit overwhelming.  With the transfer of a group of honorable military generals back to the central government, the generals will be given more power from the system in the future. Anyway, try to achieve a balance between civil and military affairs.

    Yu Shiqin said in a low voice: "Your Majesty intends to form a team for the Eastern Palace."

    "East Palace?" Gan Tangshu's eyes lit up.

    Yu Shiqin nodded and said, "The prince is already thirteen years old."

    Gan Tangshu asked: "Your Majesty has always been unconventional in doing things. Does this East Palace official position follow the pre-Ming system, or are there any new rules?"

    Yu Shiqin said: "It basically follows the previous Ming Dynasty."

    The official position of the East Palace in the Ming Dynasty was not established by Zhu Yuanzhang casually, but the most appropriate method carefully formulated by summarizing the experience of previous dynasties.

    The core point is to let the important officials of the court concurrently serve as the official position of the prince.

    This approach is to ease the conflict between the emperor and the prince, so as to avoid the situation where the prince seizes the throne.  Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, it is impossible for the prince to rebel, because the prince has no ability to rebel.

    The disadvantage is that the official position in the East Palace is gradually becoming virtual, and it has become an honorary position and a springboard for promotion.

    Because Zhu Houzhao had no son, the official position in the East Palace was completely emptied.  After Jiajing succeeded to the throne, he deliberately did not change this status quo, and even eliminated the "Prince Supervising the Country".  At that time, Jiajing's son was only four or five years old, and the Daoist couldn't tolerate it at all

    On the sixth day after Xu Ying went to Jiangsu to take office, at the court meeting, Zhao Han announced the establishment of the East Palace Official.

    The prince's six Fu, follow the old rules unchanged.

    ? That is to say, from the first-rank Prince Taishi, Prince Taifu, and Prince Taibao, from the second-rank Prince Shaoshi, Prince Shaofu, and Prince Shaobao.

    These six official positions are mostly awarded to important cabinet ministers or courtiers who have made great contributions.  It is not only an honorary position bestowed on the courtiers, but also allows the ministers to be the teachers in name of the prince. It is the lubricant between the emperor and the prince, and also the lubricant to ensure the smooth transfer of imperial power.

    With the crown prince Liu Fu in charge, there will be no such thing as the emperor being seriously ill and ministers colluding with the prince to seize the throne.

    Next, is the actual official position.

    The prince's guests are the third grade, teaching the prince etiquette, and advising the prince on his mistakes.

    ?Scholar of the Wenhuadian University, fifth grade, part-time member of the cabinet, tutoring the prince to familiarize himself with government affairs, and responsible for the education of the prince.??Happy to hear.  There is also how Li Shimin did Tian Khan, and how majestic he was in the war, the prince also liked it very much.  "

    Zhang Dai suddenly remembered something: "Your Majesty entrusted the Hanlin Academy with an errand to compile "The Pros and Cons of Land Administration in Past Dynasties".

    Hu Mengtai said: "I asked, and most of the writing has been completed. During the writing process, the Imperial Academy made new discoveries. For example, the death of the second emperor of the Sui Dynasty was also related to the collapse of Tianzheng."

    Zhang Dai felt very strange: "The collapse of Tianzheng is nothing more than serious land annexation. There is only the second emperor in the Sui Dynasty, so land annexation should not be serious, right?"

    Hu Mengtai said: "Although the Sui Dynasty was only the second generation, it was too easy to win the country, and too few gentry were killed in the north. The historians of the Imperial Academy found that the population and household registration of the Sui Dynasty increased, and the cultivated area increased at a rapid rate.  It's outrageous."

    Zhang Dai said: "Perhaps they came to investigate the hidden households in the hidden fields."

    Hu Mengtai said: "It is true that we are investigating hidden fields and hidden households, but it is still too unimaginable, and it lasts for a very long time. The historian of the Imperial Academy has probably guessed the truth. Emperor Sui Yang was very happy.  They are all exaggerations, but Emperor Sui Yang took it seriously. With so many empty populations and acres of land, of course taxes must be collected. In order to complete the task, local officials cannot collect taxes from the big clan, and can only be counted on the common people.”

    "On the one hand, the aristocratic families do not pay taxes, and on the other hand, the common people double the tax. How can the common people bear it? Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty also wanted to build warehouses.  If it is taken away, not only will there be no relief during the disaster year, but it will not even be able to be circulated in the market. Once a natural disaster occurs, no grain can be bought at all, and local heroes will make trouble. Whoever dares to open a warehouse to release grain will win the hearts of the people"  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 773 [Thirty-one-year-old chief envoy]

    ,

    The reason why the official position of the East Palace was set up was because the prince was about to graduate from the Imperial City School.

    Huangcheng School, three years of elementary school, three years of middle school, Zhao Han does not plan to set up a university.  Graduates here, no matter which province they come from, must take the Jinling Mansion Examination.  If you pass the exam, you go to university. If you fail the exam, you either go home or go to university at your own expense.

    As for overseas students, it seems that they are given preferential treatment, but it is actually useless.

    International students can choose different graduation exams:

    The first type is a special test paper. After passing the test, you can get a graduation certificate, and then go back to your own country to pretend to be a force.

    The second type is the common test paper, which needs to be taken together with Chinese students.  Those who pass the exam can not only get a university diploma, but also be eligible to take the imperial examination.  The specially recruited minority students are treated in the same way.

    Whether it is a foreign student or a minority student.  It is very difficult for them to learn Chinese, and they have to catch up on elementary and middle school knowledge, and they have to compete with college students. Those who can pass the test are definitely at the level of geniuses.

    Over the years, among the hundreds of special candidates, only three have obtained ordinary graduation certificates, and only one North Korean student has passed the imperial examination.

    Like those two British teenagers, if they enroll in Jinling University at their own expense, they will probably get out with a special diploma.  I can't get an ordinary graduation certificate, and I don't even have the qualification to take the imperial examination. The Chinese people don't recognize this kind of education.

    "Hey, tomorrow is finally a holiday!"

    Zhang Fang hugged his physics textbook, lying on the desk and watching the sunset outside.

    Of the three elementary school roommates of Prince Zhao Kuanghuan, only one was eliminated.

    And the one who was eliminated was He Qianji, who studied the hardest, had the calmest personality, and often advised the prince After entering middle school, the top candidates in each province (primary school graduation exam) were all recruited to study in the Imperial City School.  The competition is fierce.  Hard work alone cannot make up for the gap in talent.

    Liu Guozhen, who is smooth and has strong social skills, has never seen how hard he is, but he can keep up with the progress, and he is on the verge of being eliminated every time he takes the exam.

    However, Zhang Fang, who has a stubborn personality, has really reformed since he got into trouble and was enlightened by the principal, and he was among the best in the second semester.

    Of course, when prodigies from various provinces came, Zhang Fang would no longer be so prominent, and his ranking could only fluctuate in the middle.

    "Be quiet, be quiet!"

    Squad leader Yan Guangyou slapped the desk and shouted: "From now on, there will be two days off every ten days, and the teachers will leave homework at the end of the ten days. I will copy the homework content of each subject on the blackboard, and if I don't finish it, I will be punished with a ruler."

    "well!"

    There was howling in the classroom.

    Yan Guangyou was a native of Qufu, Shandong, and a descendant of Fusheng Yanhui.

    Whether it is the Confucian family, the Meng family, or the Yan family, the descendants of these Confucian sages are now honestly going to the court to study.  Moreover, due to the origin of family education, experts are also invited to make up lessons, and children and grandchildren with excellent grades often appear.

    Yan Guangyou was the second in the unified examination of primary schools in Shandong, and his younger brother Yan Guangmin was the third in the unified examination of primary schools in Shandong. The two brothers were recruited to study in Huangcheng Middle School successively, which has become a good story in Qufu.  But, only the two of them surnamed Yan are good, and those surnamed Kong and Meng have not yet appeared as super top students.

    Zhao Kuanghuan, the crown prince, felt tired for no reason when he watched the class monitor copying the homework at the end of the ten-day period.

    Other students, as long as they finish their homework, they can rest and play in the rest of the time.  And after he was on vacation, he had to study politics with his teacher, and he even had to be familiar with the important government affairs of the court.

    Zhao Kuanghuan glanced at a girl in the front row. The girl's name was Zhu Junmo.

    ?From "The Book of Songs": Xianyun is a gentleman, and there is nothing but virtue.

    As soon as you hear the name, you can tell that Zhu Junmo is definitely not from a low-level family.  But he is not considered a high-ranking official. His father was only a teacher in a county middle school.

    Even if he was recruited into Huangcheng Middle School, Zhu Junmo's test scores would basically not fall out of the top three in the grade, which made all the boys feel ashamed.

    And Zhao Kuanghuan's first love, Qiao Wuhua, was among the best in elementary school, but only hovered at the middle level in middle school.

    Our prince, there are some signs of empathy.

    He repeatedly compared the two girls, and felt that each had its own advantages, and it seemed difficult to tell the winner.  But Zhu Junmo's academic performance is too good, which gives her a lot of points, so Zhao Kuanghuan gradually favors this girl.

    That's how it is with teenagers' minds, it's hard to settle down, and they always regard the sprouting of a spring heart as love.

    After writing down the homework, Zhao Kuanghuan returned to his dormitory.

    Still four people"Kefu, a child from a wealthy gentry family, already regards Yang An as an idol at this moment.  He also wants to benefit the people, he also wants to be praised by the emperor, and he also wants to be famous in the newspapers.  As for interests and calculations, they are the least valued by young people.

    This is the original intention, and it depends on how long it lasts.

    Just as Wang Kefu was about to make an oath, Wu Chong, who was doing his homework, said: "When I become an official, I should be like Yang Buzheng. If I become an official in the future, I will be 'Yang Buzheng No. 2'!"

    As soon as this remark came out, Wang Kefu was extremely depressed. His lines were robbed by his roommate.

    The students from other provinces who can study in Huangcheng Middle School are all child prodigies from all over the country.  The child prodigy who has not yet grown up has different tempers. Ma Xun is quite proud. He said sarcastically, "You are the second to Yang Buzheng? Don't let you take care of a province, even if you let you take care of our class, I am afraid  Few people can be convinced."

    Wu Chong hesitated to speak, but finally did not speak again.  He was born in a poor family. Although he was very smart, he only knew how to read since he was a child, and he didn't know how to deal with people.  Both parents are honest farmers, and they didn't teach him how to behave in the world.

    Huangcheng School is a small society, with all backgrounds, identities, and personalities.

    It is definitely better for the prince to grow up in this environment than hiding in the deep palace.

 Text 774【Self-taught scholar】

    At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the three great Confucian scholars in China were Huang Zongxi, Sun Qifeng, and Li Yong.

    Li Yong is a special one because he has no teacher.

    ?After his father died in battle, his widowed mother raised him to live a difficult life. Every time he was sent to a private school, he was rejected because he had no money.  At the age of nine, Li Yong finally entered a private school and was driven home after only 20 days of study.

    Li Yong helped his mother chop firewood and sell money, and helped his mother spin and weave. In his spare time, his mother taught him to read and write.

    Malnourished, with a complexion like vegetables, known as "Li Cai".

    There is a wealthy family in the county who has a lot of books. Hearing about Li Yong's deeds, he was allowed to browse the books casually.  At a young age, he was self-taught and wrote "Twenty-one Historical Corrections".  Later, he burned this book because it was not the main line of Confucianism, and then devoted himself to studying Song and Ming Neo Confucianism, and finally became the great master of "Guan Xue".

    Li Yong in this time and space has a slightly better situation.

    When the Datong Army regained Shaanxi, Li Yong had already passed the age of free reading.  But the principal of the local elementary school still allowed him to sit in, but he was not allowed to take the final exam.

    Without any academic qualifications, Li Yong sat in on the elementary school courses, and borrowed books to complete the middle school courses by himself.  Because the government divided the fields between the mother and the son, he had to study by himself while farming.  It was so difficult, but he had finished reading "Spring and Autumn", "Historical Records" and "Zizhi Tongjian", and was invited by rich families to be a tutor to teach mathematics and physics to rich families.

    Moreover, Li Yong was still studying Song and Ming Neo Confucianism by himself, inheriting the improved Guan Xue lineage in the late Ming Dynasty.

    Wang Zhiliang, the president of Jinling University, heard of Li Yong's diligent deeds when he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives, so he recruited him to test and teach in person.

    Li Yong's answers were fluent, and Wang Zhiliang fell in love with him, so he asked him to attend Jinling University.  Wang Zhiliang paid for all expenses, but he didn't have a high school diploma, so he couldn't take the formal exam.

    Li Yong did not want to go to Nanjing because his widowed mother was at home.  His mother tied a noose to the beam and forced him to commit suicide. Li Yong finally went to Jinling University.

    Today, I have already finished my university courses. I first found a job as a tabloid editor, and then I applied to be a librarian for the "Golden House".

    The Golden House is a public library funded by the royal family.

    When Li Yong was managing the books, he could point out the location no matter what the book was.  No matter what questions were raised by the guests who borrowed books, he could quickly answer them, gradually accumulating a lot of fame.

    To find teachers for the crown prince, not all of them are well-known scholars, but a few young people must also be selected.

    Wang Zhiliang then recommended Li Yong, but his qualifications were too shallow, and he was not qualified to be a teacher at all.

    Unexpectedly, the emperor heard about Li Yong's deeds and invited him to personally assess him.

    Li Yong is only 25 years old this year. He was guided to walk in the Forbidden City calmly and without squinting. The majestic palace does not affect his mind at all.

    In a large hall, Li Yong met the emperor, and he knelt down and kowtowed: "Xiaomin Li Yong, kowtow to my emperor!"

    Zhao Han put down his writing brush and said, "In accordance with the etiquette of the new dynasty, there is no need to kneel on non-important occasions. Get up."

    Li Yong knelt up straight and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, my father died early, and it was not easy for my mother to raise Xiaomin. Xiaomin went to school many times, but was rejected by the school teacher. As soon as our Datong army arrived, we settled down with the people and shared the land. Xiaomin  He and his mother also share the fertile land. Although Xiaomin has passed his age, the elementary school of the Datong imperial court actually allows him to attend and study. Granting the land and receiving education, both of these two things are the grace of regeneration. This kneeling, this one  Kowtow, it's not the people who kneel to the king, but they are actually kneeling to thank the benefactor!"

    Zhao Han was very satisfied with these remarks, and said with a smile, "Come here and give me a seat."

    Li Yong stood up straight, as if he didn't know how to be polite, he strode up to the emperor, and then sat there upright.

    Thin, this person is very thin, with sunken cheeks.

    But he is definitely not a weak scholar. He has been chopping firewood since he was a child and selling it for money. After dividing the fields, he has been farming all year round.

    Zhao Han asked: "You are self-taught in Guan Xue?"

    Li Yong shook his head: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Xiaomin has no teacher, so he can only read any books he can get. In Xiaomin's hometown, there is a bibliophile who allows Xiaomin to read books. At that time, Xiaomin read history books and books.  Guan Xue. Later, he sat in on elementary school, middle school, and university, and learned a lot of practical knowledge. Mathematics, physics, astronomy, geography, law, water conservancythe list goes on. Although he is not very proficient, he also learned a lot.  As for mathematics, Xiaomin also has some experience, and has been admitted as a member of the mathematics society."

    ? Zhao Han burst out laughing. In the late Ming Dynasty, Li Yong, one of the three great Confucianists and masters of Guan studies in China, actually engaged in mathematics research in this time and space.

    Zhao Han asked: "What do you mean?As a slave, the land was seized by the Tartars, so he could only flee to Henan with his tribe.  Many disciples followed him to settle in Henan.  Scholars in Henan also seek him to study.  Sun Qifeng called on the students to reclaim the wasteland, and a brand new village was formed amidst the chaos.

    ?The young boy who studied under Sun Qifeng at the beginning, in the first imperial examination of the New Dynasty of Datong, got two Jinshi at one time.

    Li Yong left the Forbidden City steadily, and not far from the city gate, he staggered and almost fell.  He was so happy that he forgot to look at his feet, tripped over a foreign object and lost his balance.

    "Be upright, upright, don't be surprised by favor or shame!"

    Li Yong clenched his fists tightly and kept thinking silently, but he couldn't help but smile on his face.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 775 [The Book of Rites of the Prince]

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 775 Huang Zongxi's lecture content is "The Collection of Datong". He has been sick for the past few days and cannot come to work for the time being.

    ? In the first class "Book of Rites", the tutor is called Zhang Erqi.

    In the last years of Chongzhen, the Tartars plundered Shandong.  Zhang Erqi's father stepped forward and killed the two Tartars alone. After being captured alive, he brutally killed them.  His third brother also died tragically, and the fourth brother was almost buried and came back to life.

    After the Tartars entered the customs, Zhang Erqi and his fourth brother burned the Shiwen, expressing their intention to sever the imperial examinations, and they would never be officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in this life.

    He had been teaching in Shandong before, and was later invited to give lectures in Nanjing. Now he is famous all over the world for his academics, and was specially recruited into the Imperial Academy as a master of Confucianism.  Gu Yanwu read "Yili Zheng Zhujudu", admired his attainments in Confucian classics, and respected Zhang Erqi as "Zhuoran Confucian classics teacher".

    An abode in the Wenhua Palace is where the prince studies, and the cabinet officials next door are busy.

    Zhao Kuanghuan came to Zhengzheng and bowed: "Meet Mr. Zhang."

    Zhang Erqi got up to return the salute, and then held the ruler: "Prince, please sit down."

    Zhao Kuanghuan and Zhang Erqi sat opposite each other, with a desk in the middle.

    Li Yong stood beside him, and Hu Mengtai sat farther away.  As a guest of the prince, Hu Mengtai read the book by himself, and seemed too lazy to pay attention to the teaching situation, but his ears were always erect.

    Around, there are some officials, and there are also special personnel to record the content of the class.

    Zhang Erqi said: "His Royal Highness, after this statement, there are no monarchs and ministers in this house, only teachers and students. If the prince is stubborn and does not obey the rules, he must be beaten with a ruler."

    Zhu Biao, the first prince of the Ming Dynasty, was often beaten by his teacher with a ruler.

    After hearing this, Zhao Kuanghuan felt that the teacher in front of him was too serious, and he was not happy but also a little awe-inspiring.

    Zhang Erqi said: "To study, you must first show your ambition. Whether it is the old Ming dynasty or our Datong new dynasty, why do children learn "University" first after they are enlightened?  The world, this is the ambition of a scholar in his life. From now on, whether it is Confucianism, history, rhetoric or miscellaneous studies, these studies must be developed around his own ambition. Have any other masters said these words?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan replied: "I have."

    Zhang Erqi also said: "I teach people to read. There is a sequence of which books to read. The books on Confucian classics are "University", "Analects of Confucius", "Doctrine of the Mean", "Mencius", "Book of Songs", "Book of Changes",  "Spring and Autumn", "Zhou Li", "Yi Li", "Book of Rites". History books, in order, are "Compendium", "Pre-Bian", "Sequel", "Tong Ji" and "Da Zheng Lu" in the former Ming Dynasty.  Books on miscellaneous studies, in order, are "University Yanyi", "Buxishan Reading Secretary", "General Examination of Documents", "Public Security Research Evidence", "Authentic Articles", "Zoushu of Famous Officials", and "Daming Huidian".

    This gentleman is proficient in all five classics, and has studied history and miscellaneous studies intensively.

    Zhang Erqi went on to say: "Your Majesty asked me to teach the prince, and only teach the "Book of Rites", not sequentially. This fact is helpless. But I still have to say what should be said. The prince should have learned the origin of the universe. My school  , Qi is the foundation, reason is the end"

    "Ahem!"

    Hu Mengtai, who was reading a book with his head down, suddenly coughed and reminded Zhang Erqi not to add private goods.

    Zhang Erqi hesitated to speak, but finally did not continue, and quickly returned to the main topic: "Has the prince ever studied "Book of Rites"?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan replied: "In the middle school textbooks, there are excerpts from the Book of Rites."

    Zhang Erqi was very dissatisfied with this. He felt that the Four Books and Five Classics were a gradual knowledge system.  Primary and middle school students only learn excerpts of chapters, and their knowledge has been messed up.

    However, Zhang Erqi is not a Taoist, and his academics also tend to be practical.

    It can be seen from the fact that Qi is the foundation and reason is the end. Although he studied Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, he subverted Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.  Qi-based, that is, focusing on the study of materials, the exploration of the world, and the practical practice of the world.

    Zhang Erqi asked again: "Does the prince know what is 'ritual'?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan replied: "It's the rules of etiquette."

    Zhang Erqi said: "It's true, but it's not entirely true. Li, in the big sense, is a system and a convention. In a small sense, it's a technique of self-cultivation. The law is actually a kind of ritual, but it's the bottom line of ritual.  "

    "There are many things in the world that cannot be controlled solely by laws, otherwise they cannot be controlled at all. Just like acquaintances meet, greeting each other is an etiquette, but it is not illegal to not greet each other. The "Datong Township Covenant" formulated by His Majesty is a rural etiquette system.  It persuades people to be kind and to help each other, and if you don’t abide by it, you won’t break the law, but you will be poked in the spine by your neighbors.”

    "The rites of monarch and minister, the rites of husband and wife, the rites of elders and children."Lying down, I forgot all the teacher's teachings in class: "Shanxi people, there is also a Shaanxi student in my class. I heard that during the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were severe droughts every year in Shaanxi, and people rebelled everywhere?"

    Li Yong said: "My father followed the governor of Shaanxi to seek thieves and was killed by Zhang Xianzhong."

    "Oh, I heard that many people died at that time." Zhao Kuanghuan sighed, but he was not really touched. The environment in which he grew up was destined to be separated from the bottom masses.

    Li Yong said: "I have already figured it out. The trespassers and the eight thieves raised troops because of natural disasters and man-made disasters. I really can't live anymore. What must be remembered is not the revenge of killing the father, but how to achieve the peace of the country and the people. People have  If you have food and clothing, you will not follow the rebellion, and you will be able to prevent more people from being destroyed."

    Zhao Kuanghuan nodded and said, "You are right."

 Text 776 [Jiangsu Salt Administration]

    When Prince Zhenjuan, Sleepy Shoal 776, was studying the East Palace course, Xu Ying also arrived in Yangzhou, the capital of Jiangsu.

    The entire Jiangsu officialdom is wary of the new chief envoy.  No way, Xu Ying's previous identity was too sensitive, and the emperor actually sent the "Head of Jinyiwei" to govern Jiangsu?

    However, after half a month in Yangzhou, Xu Ying didn't seem to plan to change anything.

    He just summoned subordinate officials normally, listened to reports from various prefectures and counties, and dealt with official documents step by step.

    With this approach, some people are more vigilant, while others are completely relaxed.

    Wang Mingran, who had been boating on the West Lake, heard that Xu Ying had become the Zuo Buzheng of Jiangsu Province, and was so frightened that he took a fast boat overnight to Yangzhou to pay a visit.

    After handing out invitations for several days in a row, Wang Mingran was finally summoned.

    "Caomin pays homage to the feudal lord!"

    As a top salt merchant, Wang Mingran stepped forward to salute politely, standing in front of Xu Ying like a primary school student.

    Xu Ying's attitude was very kind, even with a smile on his face, he greeted warmly: "Brother Mingran, please sit down quickly. You and I have known each other for many years, why do you need to be so alien?"

    "Thank you, sir." Wang Mingran sat down nervously.

    Xu Ying said: "It's been nearly ten years since we parted last time. Brother Mingran hasn't aged, but he's still as energetic, with no gray hair on his temples."

    Wang Mingran apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is concerned about labor, but in fact it is all dyed, and the temples have already turned gray."

    Hair dyeing technology has long existed in ancient times. According to the "Hanshu", Wang Mang dyed his hair and beard black to show that he was not aging in order to calm his mind.

    ?There are also unofficial historical records that Kou Zhun in the Song Dynasty dyed all his beards white to look mature and prudent, and used it to win the trust of the emperor.  Su Shi also wrote a poem to ridicule Wang Tinglao, saying that this guy dyed his hair to look tender and shamelessly curry favor with the powerful minister Lu Huiqing.

    In the Ming Dynasty, hair dyeing became more popular, and small advertisements were even posted in the officials' yamen.

    Xu Ying asked people to watch tea and didn't talk about business at all. She followed the topic of dyeing her hair and said, "I came to Yangzhou to take up my post this time, but I also found an interesting thing. There is a noble young man in the city who dyed his temples purple, and brought his entourage  Walking through the market, everyone who comes and goes looks sideways.”

    "This is a monster!" Wang Mingran said.

    Purple hair was not allowed to be dyed casually in the Ming Dynasty, but it was not prohibited in the Datong New Dynasty.

    Xu Ying did not criticize this, but said: "The blue hair and purple temples are novel and interesting, and they look more graceful and noble."

    The two had been chatting for half an hour, Xu Ying only talked about trivial matters, and Wang Mingran became more and more restless.  He once helped Xu Ying develop a secret agent, and he knew that Xu Ying seemed harmless to humans and animals, but when she actually did it, her relatives did not recognize her.

    However, Wang Mingran couldn't guess what Xu Ying was thinking.

    He wanted to be completely subdued and tell all kinds of dirty things, but he was afraid that it would be self-defeating. What if Xu Ying didn't know how to investigate the salt affairs?

    Finally, Xu Ying picked up a teacup to see off the guests: "Brother Mingran, it's getting late. I still have official business, let's toast another day and have a chat, and we must be drunk by then."

    Wang Mingran stood up and bowed to say goodbye, but when he reached the door, he couldn't step over the threshold.  His right foot was raised and lowered several times, as if he had some foot disease.

    Xu Ying didn't speak, just sat there quietly holding a teacup.

    Suddenly, Wang Mingran gritted his teeth and turned around, knelt down and said, "Help, Lord Fansi!"

    Only then did Xu Ying put down her teacup: "Let's talk."

    Wang Mingran said: "The villain will take the initiative to pay back the salt tax that the Wang family evaded all these years No, double the pay!"

    "That's it?" Xu Ying remained expressionless.

    Wang Mingran finally confirmed in his heart that Xu Ying was sent by the emperor to clean up Jiangsu.  He didn't dare to hide any more, and said: "Officials in the Jiangsu Salt Affairs Department more or less accept bribes. The higher the rank, the less they dare to openly accept money. The salt merchant has a calligraphy and painting shop in Yangzhou.  They secretly bought official calligraphy at high prices, and the most expensive one was sold for 3,000 taels."

    Xu Ying still had a wooden face: "Continue."

    Wang Mingran said: "Hui Huizhou merchants and Jiangxi merchants joined forces with the government to annex all the businesses of Western merchants in Jiangsu."

    Commercial mergers are normal, and it is obviously messy for the government to intervene.

    Xu Ying asked: "How did you merge?"

    Wang Mingran replied: "Although Western merchants are declining day by day, there are also many Western merchants who have obtained franchise licenses for salt merchants. Some Western merchants have opened salt farms in Jianghuai; some Western merchants have been allowed to transport salt to other provinces.  The investigation of the salt affairs, only the Western merchants are strictly investigated, and those Western merchants dare not break the law. But if they do not violate the law, they will also violate the law. According to the law of the court, the first few times were only warnings and fines, and then they canThe righteousness continued, and the floods and droughts in the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River were frequent. Whenever something happened, the salt merchants were asked to donate money.

    It is impossible for Jianghuai salt merchants to be foolish enough to make cash machines. Since they have given money, they will naturally have to get it back from other places.

    As a result, the court's salt tax plummeted, and the private salt price skyrocketed.

    In the second year of Daoguang, the imperial court felt that it was time to clean up the salt administration, so as to block the loopholes for salt merchants to make money.  For a while, Jianghuai salt merchants were unable to make ends meet, and 80 to 90% of them went bankrupt in more than ten years.

    This is the ancient Chinese society. Facing the court, businessmen had to stretch their necks to be slaughtered.

    Xu Ying received the confession written by Wang Mingran, and for the next month, she continued to deal with official duties as usual, without any intention of doing anything at all.

    However, the salt merchants moved and went to the government to surrender and make up the full amount of the salt tax they evaded.  At the same time, they lowered the salt price collectively, earning performance frantically, for fear that they would become the chicken that was killed.

    However, Xu Ying secretly wrote a letter to the emperor, roughly as follows:

    "According to the secret investigations by the National Security Council and the Inspectorate, there are not a few farmlands that have been encroached on the Yangtze River and Huaihe coastal areas. Even in some villages a few miles away from the sea, because they are next to the river, there are merchants who set up saltworks and use seawater to cook salt.  There are also many illegal small salt farms, most of which are related to local officials."

    "The occupied farmland has been salinized. It is very difficult to restore it to farmland, and the operation is not worth the loss. These farmlands can only maintain the status quo. However, the salt merchants must pay a large amount of compensation for the farmers whose land is occupied.  For the salt merchants in the farmland, half of the businesses canceled their franchise licenses and recruited merchants from other provinces to take over. The remaining half of the businesses retained their licenses, but all the license holders were exiled, and the licenses were replaced by their family members to continue to hold them. Only in this way can the salt business be guaranteed  No mess."

    "Jiangsu's Household Department, Finance Department and Salt Affairs Department, the chief officials suggested to deal with them more severely. Especially the Salt Affairs Department, the situation of disguised bribery is extremely serious, and a group of them must be killed to establish the prestige of the court."

    Zhao Han received Xu Ying's secret report, and when he saw the list of officials who suggested execution, he sighed in pain for a moment.

    All are young doers with outstanding political achievements!

    It is estimated that the court is about to break out, and Li Rixuan will probably not be able to bear it, and take the opportunity to impeach the faction headed by Yu Shiqin.

    As for the clean-up of Jiangsu officialdom, there will be no surprises.  The authority of the founding emperor is right there, as long as Xu Ying, who bears the emperor's order, dares to act, the local officials don't even have room to jump around.

    Even relying on Xu Ying alone, the magistrate had to submit without hesitation. Didn't Wang Mingran, a big salt merchant, come to confess on his own initiative?

    It is impossible for imperial envoys to fight magistrates, at least in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China.  If you really dare to act like that, you are forcing the emperor to confiscate the house, turning one person's sin into a disaster for the whole family.

    7017

 Text 777 [Husband is indisputable]

    ,

    ? In the Ming Dynasty, if political opponents were to be impeached, there were usually officials from the Ministry of Education and Daoism, and the real big bosses were only responsible for the finishing work.

    ?Hidden so deeply that I didn't even come out to sweep the ending, as if I didn't participate in the whole process.

    The new dynasty of Datong is a bit embarrassing. The Daoist (Inspectorate) is in the hands of the emperor. They are usually only responsible for investigating corrupt officials and do not get involved in factional disputes in the court.  The officers of the department have also become overwhelmed. Although the sixth department has been expanded to twelve teachers, they have been deprived of the right to play rumors.

    Therefore, impeachment of political opponents requires personal action, at least someone from one's own faction must be the vanguard.

    "Uncle Hui, if you don't make a move at this time, when will you wait? As soon as Gan Tangshu was transferred back to the center, Jiangsu's officialdom was immediately investigated. It is obvious that His Majesty is extremely dissatisfied with those people. Yu Shiqin is indeed an incorruptible person and cannot be found at all."  There is a loophole. But Gan Tangshu is different, this person was born as a talented scholar in Fengcheng, and he came from a branch of the already ruined Gan family."

    "According to an old friend who passed by Fengcheng, Gan Tangshu built a big house in his hometown and bought many servants from Nanyang. His eldest son even raised two Persian girls, and even raised a troupe in Nanchang for fun. Even  His family's ancestral grave has also been repaired in a very luxurious way, and he hired a great scholar to write the epitaph for his deceased mother. By the way, Gan Tangshu also paid for the reconstruction of the Gan's ancestral hall. His family has no business, so where did he get so much money?  silver?"

    The person who pushed for impeachment was Yang Zhong, the left servant of the Ministry of War.

    Li Rixuan shook his head and said: "It's not time to close the net yet, we must kill Yu Shiqin with one blow."

    Yang Zhong said: "Getting Gan Tangshu down is tantamount to beheading Yu Shiqin's right and left arm."

    Li Rixuan said: "There are too many capable officials under Yu Shiqin's command. Without a Gan Tangshu, it is not considered to cut off his left and right arms. This time in Jiangsu, His Majesty will definitely be disappointed with Yu Shiqin. Don't be in a hurry at this time, because Your Majesty also needs face.  , Many officials in Yu Shiqin's line were promoted by His Majesty. His Majesty's face has been disgraced by the handling of Jiangsu officialdom, how can we get into trouble at this time?"

    "Then miss the chance?" Yang Zhong said indignantly.

    Li Rixuan said: "When His Majesty is completely disappointed with them, it is time for us to make a real move."

    Li Rixuan consciously thinks comprehensively, but he overestimates his control power, and he can't suppress his party members at all.

    A few days later, officials went up for impeachment.

    Zhao Han flipped through the impeachment memorial, and laughed angrily: "They are very capable. Since the investigation is so clear, why didn't they report it to the Procuratorate early, and have to wait until this time to go directly to the prison?"

    Gan Tangshu, who was transferred to the center, was indeed a corrupt official.

    And the greed is extremely hidden. When he was in charge of Jiangsu, he never took a single penny in bribes.  However, his sons and daughters' in-laws have a trading company registered in Shanghai, and they can often receive orders from the government and get a Huai salt distribution license.  For all the operations, Gan Tangshu didn't show up in person, and she could pick herself up at any time.

    It's just that his son is really too good at showing off.

    That kid has settled in Nanchang for a long time, and when he goes out to the streets, he must sit in a luxurious sedan chair.  There are twenty or thirty people in front and back, half of them are Han Chinese hired with money, and half are slaves bought from Nanyang.  Those slaves were raised very strong, all armed with sticks, showing off their power and often beating others.  He also has an opera troupe, which is not open to the public, and only invites friends to watch operas at home for free.

    The government stipulates that land cannot be traded, so the silver must be useful.  So he started construction, expanded the ancestral house, rebuilt the ancestral hall, and repaired the ancestral grave, for fear that others would not know that his father was a corrupt official.

    "Order the Inspectorate to suspend and investigate." Zhao Han gave instructions.

    The dignified Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Commerce was invited to drink tea by the Inspectorate.

    Gan Tangshu was a decent person, even though she was invited to the Inspectorate, she still seemed calm and unhurried.

    "Mr. Gan, please sit down," Dai Wenmeng said, cupping his hands. "Since the establishment of the Inspectorate, Mr. Gan has the highest official rank, and I am honored to be able to receive him in person in my next life. If there is nothing wrong with the investigation, Mr. Gan will definitely return to his post. If  I won't say anything."

    Gan Tangshu sat down straightly: "If you have something to say, it's okay to ask."

    Waiting for his partner to set up the pen and paper, Dai Wenmeng asked: "Mr. Gan is in his hometown, has he expanded the ancestral house, rebuilt the ancestral hall, and renovated the tombs of several ancestors?"

    Gan Tangshu asked back: "Is this not illegal?"

    Dai Wenmeng asked: "Where did the money come from? I heard that when Lingtang passed away, it cost 300 taels of silver to ask a great Confucian to write an inscription."

    Gan Tangshu said: "My Gan family has been a prominent family in Fengcheng for a long time. A few years ago, I renovated my ancestral house and dug out several large boxes of silver from the ground."

    &nbspThen why did I fight with Li Rixuan?

    If I can't be a minister of power, why should I seek power?

    My family is a wealthy businessman, and I am not greedy for those few coins.

    Not for power, not for money, then what am I doing for it?

    In name?

    I am an official in the local area, and I am indeed praised by the people.  I am honest and selfless, and I am indeed an honest minister in the world.  I already have these reputations, so what else do I pursue?

    ?In the dark night, Yu Shiqin suddenly opened his eyes: I will be famous in history, and I will assist the emperor to make great achievements!

    Fighting with Li Rixuan's gang of thieves is completely inferior, so what's the use of winning the fight?  It's just more beautiful.

    I have no shortage of scenery!

    Your Majesty is the hero of a generation. Your Majesty wants to create a prosperous world. Your Majesty likes to do things seriously.

    ? Then I don’t have to fight anyone, I just do things seriously.

    Yu Shiqin suddenly realized, put on his clothes and went to the study, held a lamp and studied ink, and wrote with a pen: Husbands are the only ones who do not fight, so no one in the world can compete with him!

    On the second day, Yu Shiqin called the chief follower and ordered: "Frame this picture and hang it in the middle hall. ?

 Text 778 [The cornerstone of the country]

    Wang Mingran sat in the living room, waiting with a cup of tea.

    The tax he evaded has been paid, and the fine money has also been paid.  He even took the initiative to tell his friends the news, so that other salt merchants would rush to pay taxes and surrender themselves.

    In the officialdom in Jiangsu, there is a lot of noise, and people are taken away for investigation from time to time.

    Early in the morning, Wang Mingran was summoned by Xu Ying. He crawled and crawled here, and had been waiting for half the morning.

    Suddenly, Wang Mingran heard footsteps.

    He stood up quickly, but it was not Xu Ying herself, but Xu Ying's entourage.

    Wang Mingran cupped his hands and bowed: "Meet Mr. Huang."

    Huang San held out a letter with an extremely respectful attitude.  This kind of respect is not for Wang Mingran, but for that letter: "Master Wang, this is His Majesty's imperial letter, I will take it back after reading it."

    "Imperial letter? Can I read it too?"

    Surprised and delighted, Wang Mingran quickly straightened his sleeves, bowed down to the letter, and then bowed to hold the letter with both hands.

    The content of the letter, in plain language throughout, is summarized as follows:

    "Everything will be dealt with as requested by you, with both leniency and strictness, and no chaos"

    "However, Tianzheng is the foundation of the country, and there should be no compromise"

    "First, although the occupied farmland can no longer grow food, it can only be forced to be a salt field in the future. But it must not be let go, and it must not be handed over to the occupier for management. This is like marrying a humiliated woman to  The perpetrators are generally assholes and funny."

    "Secondly, if more than 20 mu of farmland is invaded, the holders of the saltworks license will be beheaded without second interpretation. If more than 10 mu of farmland is occupied but less than 20 mu, the license holder will be exiled to the jurisdiction of the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Government."

    "Thirdly, in order to ensure the production of salt in Huaihe River, we should also be lenient and strict. Severely punished: the ten companies that invaded the most farmland, the salt field license will be revoked, and new investment will be issued.  The salt industry shall not be operated again within three generations, and relatives shall not be officials within three generations. Those who are lenient: the license holders of salt farms other than these ten may be beheaded, or they may be transferred to relatives to continue to operate. But the license must  If you get popular, the tax rate will be increased by 10%, and if there is any illegal behavior in the future, the license will be revoked immediately!"

    "The above-mentioned merchants, regardless of whether their heads are beheaded or not, and regardless of whether their licenses remain or not, shall be fined heavily."

    "Wang Mingran, a wealthy Anhui merchant, has made great contributions to the Datong community. His life can be spared, and his salt merchant's license will be red.  You can give this letter to Wang Mingran to read."

    Before Wang Mingran finished reading the letter, he slumped on the chair.

    The farmland occupied by his family must have exceeded 20 mu. According to the "Law of Datong", he would be beheaded.  Although he was pardoned by the emperor to survive, the future of his descendants was ruined, his cousin and nephew's black hats were gone, and all the five-fu relatives of the next three generations could no longer be officials.

    how so?

    Wang Mingran felt very wronged, he had made great contributions to the new dynasty of Datong!

    When Xu Ying first arrived in Yangzhou, she only brought a few people with her, and the development of the intelligence network was extremely difficult.  It was him, Wang Mingran, who took the risk of beheading to help Xu Ying develop her power with people and money.  When Xu Ying was in Jiangnan later, Wang Mingran paid for it and helped to print and distribute the pamphlet "The Collection of Great Harmony".

    The great Confucian Zhang Pu was recommended by Wang Mingran to Xu Ying.  The eldest princess and the consort's family were also escorted to Jiangxi by Wang Mingran.  Even the imperial concubine Liu Rushi went to Jiangxi to meet the emperor because of Wang Mingran.

    In addition, the Datong Army regained the Jianghuai area, and Wang Mingran contacted several cities anyway.

    After the establishment of the Datong New Dynasty, Wang Mingran often donated money. He donated 30,000 taels of silver to the preparation of Jiangsu University and Anhui University.

    With so much hard work and hard work, he almost moved his head because of the occupation of farmland, and he had to rely on the emperor's amnesty to save his life.

    If it is bribery of officials, tax evasion, or manipulation of salt prices, Wang Mingran can still barely understand the consequences of these crimes.  What is the right to encroach on farmland?  Those are saline-alkali lands, and they can't grow much food at all. After changing to salt fields, they can play a greater role.

    It's just more than 200 mu of Susukida. If the court allows the transaction, Wang Mingran can buy it.  When compensating farmers, he is even willing to pay farmers ten years of grain income in one lump sum according to the actual grain production.

    Wang Mingran felt that it was too nonsense, he was really wronged, the imperial court's policy was too rigid and unreasonable.

    He did occupy civilian fields, but those Susukina fields that cannot grow food can provide more tax revenue to the government after they are turned into salt fields.  He also recruited the farmers whose fields had been invaded to work in the saltworks.

    ? In this way, the loss of farmers is not large, and the government taxdeal with.

    Looking at the content of the notice in front of him, Wang Mingran gloated a little: "Many people are going to lose their heads."

    It's boring for me to be unlucky alone, but it's comfortable for everyone to be unlucky together.

    ?From Xu Ying to Yangzhou to take office, in the next six months, a large number of officials in Jiangsu Province were dismissed.  27 people were beheaded, 42 people were exiled to Heilongjiang for capital crimes, 65 people were exiled to Liaoning, Taiwan, Ryukyu, and Luzon, 93 people were imprisoned, and as many as 166 people were dismissed from office but not sentenced.  More than 300 people.

    Because of this, Xu Ying got an extra nickname: Guantu!

    Some families are happy and some are sad, and a large number of vacancies in official positions have given countless people the opportunity to be promoted.  Many officials from remote and impoverished areas were transferred to Jiangsu to serve as officials due to their excellent performance evaluations.  There are still many officials, and it is difficult to be promoted to a first-rank official. This time, dozens of officials were transferred and thrown to Jiangsu to be promoted to a first-rank official.

    Zhao Han said to Song Yingxing: "Publish the situation in Jiangsu in the newspaper and let the officials and people all over the world read it. Order the chief secretaries of all provinces to follow Xu Ying's method to thoroughly investigate and clean up. Officials at all levels in the provinces, if they find serious cases,  The local officials also concealed the truth and did not report it, so they can write to the Procuratorate to report. They must report with their real names, and they will be held accountable for false accusations!"

    "Follow the order."

    Song Yingxing thought it would be good to clean up the officialdom, but he was afraid that good things would turn bad. During the local self-examination, for the sake of political achievements, they would take the opportunity to avenge their personal revenge and make a mess.  Or they may invite credit and fawn on them, and engage in random biting, resulting in a bunch of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 779 [When Zeng Yi was a teenager]

    I scrolled to the 779 Inspectorate of Sleepy Shoal.

    Gan Tangshu is living a good life these days, but she eats for nothing.

    Dai Wenmeng threw a bunch of confessions over: "Mr. Gan, your in-laws recruited everything."

    Gan Tangshu's pupils constricted in shock, but she quickly calmed down: "I'm not guilty, you don't have to lie to me."

    Dai Wenmeng said in a mocking tone: "At first he didn't recruit, insisting that he was a law-abiding businessman. Guess how he was scared out of his wits?"

    Gan Tangshu did not answer.

    Dai Wenmeng said to himself: "He is not satisfied with selling salt and undertaking government projects. He saw that others opened textile factories and made a lot of money, so he negotiated cotton and wool suppliers, and built a large piece of land in Nantong to build factories. It's really good.  The big dog dares not to apply for a report when taking land to build a factory, but also raises thugs to force farmers to abandon their fields and move. During the most critical water storage period of the rice fields, the farmers who watch the night are tied up and all the water in the rice fields is drained.  There are also rapeseed fields, when the rapeseed blooms, all the rapeseed flowers in the whole field are cut off."

    Finally, Gan Tangshu couldn't keep calm, she gritted her teeth and said, "Idiot!"

    "The amount of occupation of civilian land is not small. This is a capital crime," Dai Wenmeng tapped on the table, "Many people in Jiangsu were sentenced to beheaded for invading land. If you put the case on that, your in-laws will recruit everything. They say they want to make meritorious service  , Confess a lot of dirty things about you, and only ask for one to be exiled to Heilongjiang to pay the death penalty."

    Gan Tangshu, who was originally straight, slumped on the chair and said, "I know I can't make it through, they are all a bunch of idiots. My two sons are not good at studying or doing business.  Showing off. Renovating the ancestral house, I didn't think it would be so rich. Rebuilding the ancestral hall, I also thought that the clan would pay for it together. It was my two bastard sons who paid for the repair of the ancestral house and the ancestral hall. I didn't know until half a year later!  Damn, who doesn't know that I'm a corrupt official if I do this?"

    Dai Wenmeng asked: "How much have you been greedy? Your in-laws are not the only ones who gave you money, right?"

    Gan Tangshu said: "I don't know exactly how much I have been greedy. There should be 50,000 taels. I haven't asked much about it in the follow-up, and it may be more than 100,000 taels. There are also a few merchants who have contacts with me secretly.  Give me the pen, and I’ll write it down. Anyway, it’s definitely a capital crime, and I just ask for a whole corpse. I’ll tell you everything, can I not be sentenced to beheading? Hanging is also death.”

    Dai Wenmeng said: "As long as you tell me the truth, I will help you apply for hanging."

    While writing the confession, Gan Tangshu said: "This person, you can't make a wrong step. Once you make a wrong move, you will be doomed, and you can't stop it. When I was young, I also hated corrupt officials.  I have the heart to save the world and help the people. As soon as the Datong Army took Zhangshu Town, I followed the scholars from the same village and went to serve His Majesty together. It was a risk of family ruin. My whole family is still in Fengcheng.  disaster."

    Dai Wenmeng is quite polite to this kind of heroic hero: "You will definitely say that at the beginning, it was just out of favor, and you just greeted your relatives and friends. Or, at first, you just wanted to get a few coins, but you didn't expect to be greedy for so much money.  , but there is no turning back. I have heard too much of this rhetoric."

    "Then I won't talk about it." Gan Tangshu shut up and continued writing.

    Dai Wenmeng suddenly asked: "Have you ever sent money to Yu Shiqin?"

    Gan Tangshu glared at him: "Yu Shiqin is an official, although he is authoritarian and domineering, he is really clean and honest. He also runs the family very strictly. Not to mention parents, wives and children, even relatives and clansmen, he always writes to warn. His  The eldest son was arrested by someone from Nanchang to Nanjing because he bullied others, and was beaten for half a month so he couldn’t get out of bed and walk. Don’t let me grab and bite Yu Shiqin indiscriminately just for meritorious service.”

    "Hehe, of course not." Dai Wenmeng said with a smile.

    "I can't finish writing in a while," Gan Tangshu said, throwing a pen, "Give me a few days, let me recall slowly, some things are almost forgotten."

    Dai Wenmeng said: "Yes."

    Gan Tangshu was lying on the chair, humming a little tune, singing a few lines and saying: "I don't have a chance to watch this prosperous age of the founding of the country. It would be great if I could turn back time. The biggest regret in my life  , I was in Nanchang for the exam when I was a teenager, and I had to meet the number one oiran in Nanchang at that time. Unfortunately, I had no money and no name, so I could only accompany the last seat, drink and watch from a distance. Her singing is really beautiful, crisp and melodious, just like Huang Ying  Same. Drinking and composing poems during the banquet, although I sat the farthest, the poems were favored by her, and I made an appointment to go boating on another dayshe died."

    "Huh?" Dai Wenmeng didn't keep up with the rhythm.

    Gan Tangshu sneered: "The king of Jian'an sent his servants to kidnap her and was beaten to death by the princess. At this time, everyone in Nanchang knew about the trouble, but the princess came from a prominent family in Nanchang, and no scholars were willing to help her.  In those years, I could dream of her in my dreams. She told me to go closer and ask the maid to rearrange my seat.?Report to Your Majesty, my husband is also serving in the Inspectorate.  In order to avoid suspicion, I discussed with my husband, and he was willing to transfer to another yamen.  "

    Father and son, brothers, who are officials in the same department, have been avoiding suspicion since the Ming Dynasty, and usually ask for transfer or resign directly.

    In the Ming Dynasty, there were many official rules, such as the prohibition of doing business in the official family.  This regulation has been strictly enforced, but it has always been like a waste of paper—family members do not come out to do business, and let the slaves do business. Anyway, the slaves dare not run away, and the fate of escaped slaves has always been miserable.

    As for Xiaohong's remarried husband, it is Liu Chuanzong who admits death.

    There is a ten-year age difference between the two, the female is older and the male is younger Liu Chuanzong's wife died of illness, and he often followed Xiaohong to handle cases.

    Zhao Han said: "I will definitely give you a gift when you get married. As for your husband, it is really not suitable to stay in the Procuratorate, let him go out to be a judge. You must choose a place with convenient transportation. When you go out to inspect and handle cases, you should also  You can take the opportunity to reunite with husband and wife."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Xiaohong said happily.

    Zhao Han said again: "Our Governor Fei will soon return to Beijing to report on his duties. We are all old friends, and we will have a drink and reunion when the time comes."

    Fei Ruhe not only returned to Beijing to report on his work, but also made a general report on the situation on the grassland, and the next step was to gather troops to march on the grassland.

 Text 780 [The Rise of Khalkha Mongolia]

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 780 Fei Ruhe returned to Beijing to report on his duties, with 300 soldiers by his side.

    After several years, Fei Ruhe was quite moved to experience the prosperity and prosperity of the south again.

    He has been stationed in Datong before. Although people's livelihood has recovered rapidly, compared with the areas south of the Yellow River, the population is still too sparse.  After all, Shanxi had been in a drought for ten years and was repeatedly ravaged by bandits from the Northwest, officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and Manchurian Tartars.

    Hearing that Xu Ying was in charge of Jiangsu, Fei Ruhe stopped in Yangzhou.

    The guards were not allowed to enter the city at will, and the soldiers were left stationed outside the city. Fei Ruhe only brought a few personal guards into the city.

    Xu Ying heard that Fei Ruhe was coming, so she hurried to greet him, and the two met on the street.

    "Haha, Old Xu, you have become a great official of the frontier." Fei Ruhe laughed before he got close.

    Xu Ying smiled and jokingly said: "You are a military commander who leads the army. On the way to report on your duties, you will meet with a provincial chief in private. You will be impeached if you put it in the Ming Dynasty."

    "Whoever wants to impeach, let him impeach. I can't even come to see my old friends?" Fei Ruhe didn't care about that.

    This guy has been in Shanxi for several years, and he belongs to the absolute emperor of the land. Local officials worship him as an ancestor.  His temper must have grown, and he was not afraid of anything, and even wrote a letter to ask a brother of his family to go to the border of Shanxi to start a fur business.

    Violation, but not illegal.

    He did not use his soldiers to do business, and he paid taxes normally.  But his clan brother was able to prosper in business, and he had to borrow Fei Ruhe's power and influence.

    This is very similar to Gan Tangshu letting her in-laws do business, the difference is that Gan Tangshu has illegal operations attached to it.

    For example, they colluded with the Jiangsu Salt Affairs Department to close down a Shanxi salt merchant, and then transferred the Shanxi salt merchant's salt sales license to their in-laws at a super low price.  Moreover, his in-laws did not have a transport fleet, so it was impossible to meet the qualifications for salt transportation. At the beginning, they had to hire a transport team from outside.

    Fei Ruhe was much smarter, he didn't touch the Yanzheng, nor did he touch the Tianzheng, he just let his clan brother sell furs.

    Don't underestimate the fur business, it's very profitable!

    In the Ming Dynasty, high-grade furs were considered luxury goods.  In particular, the fur of sable, sea otter, and lynx is forbidden for common people to enjoy. The Ming court reiterated the ban four times.  It wasn't until the Longqing period that leather goods from the grasslands increased due to the tribute paid by Alta, and the price dropped slightly, but the rebellion of the Tartars caused the price of leather to skyrocket.

    Even now that Mongolia and Northeast trade routes have been opened, and the price of fur goods continues to drop, if you want to buy a piece of sable fur in Nanjing, the price is at least three hundred taels or more.  Excellent quality sable fur can easily cost five hundred taels, and it is possible to sell for thousands of taels of silver, and even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

    The bulk of the fur trade is still dominated by sheepskin, and the amount of precious fur caught is too small.

    In order to make up for the gap in the market for high-end products, many Mongolian tribes racked their brains and set their sights on the most vicious cat in the world—the cat cat.

    In the past few years, the price of catkin fur has also been raised, starting at at least two hundred taels of silver when transported to Nanjing.

    In addition, the fur trade in Taiwan Island and Hainan Island is also extremely prosperous.  Taiwan sika deer, Qiongzhou Eld's deer, have been hunted in large numbers.  In later generations, this is an act of destroying the ecology, but in today's world it is beneficial to the development of the frontier.

    For example, the capital of Heilongjiang has not yet been established, and merchants are the first to respond.  Because the most precious furs can be obtained in the Heilongjiang and Songhua River basins, and the sable and sea otter skins come from there.  Well-informed businessmen have already gathered in Liaoning, just waiting to follow the army to Harbin to open a trading post.

    All the way to the back house of the chief secretary's yamen, Fei Ruhe called someone to fetch a gift: "This is agate fur, for my younger siblings."

    Xu Ying glanced at it. This fur is extremely exquisite. It requires at least three pieces of rabbit skin to make, and the labor cost will not be cheap. The price in the southern region must exceed one thousand taels.  He quickly waved his hand and said, "The gift is too expensive, I can't accept it."

    Fei Ruhe smiled and said: "I heard that you became the official butcher of Jiangsu before you arrived in Yangzhou. What are you afraid of? When I return to Nanjing, I will give His Majesty a gift list.  Let His Majesty take a look at which ones you have. Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble. Old friends can’t give gifts when they meet?”

    Xu Ying still shook her head: "I accept the favor, but the gift cannot be accepted."

    "You people are really boring!"

    Fei Ruhe murmured, and didn't treat himself as an outsider, walked into the living room and sat down.

    Xu Ying personally made tea for Fei Ruhe and asked, "Is the situation outside the Great Wall unstable?"

    Fei Ruhe said: "There is nothing on the Shanshan side, only Li Zicheng is fighting with other ministries. Across the Gobi desert, the Khalkha Mongols in the north of the desert can't beat it."??Suddenly laughed again: "Hey, Zhang Tieniu's sons and daughters are worse than my pair of sons and daughters. I don't feel ashamed to have him at the bottom, and I can play with him next time we meet."

    Xu Ying suddenly came to her senses: "If you appease all the tribes in the grassland and attack Khalkha Mongolia together, do you need to appease Li Zicheng?"

    "That depends on your Majesty's will," Fei Ruhe said, "It's been a few years, and everything has faded away. It's not easy to have a Han Chinese force in Hetao. In my opinion, it's better to appease him."

 Text 781 [Li Zicheng offers soil]

    Nanjing, the Forbidden City.

    Fei Ruhe handed a letter to Zhao Han: "Your Majesty, this is from Li Zicheng. Cover it with mud and say that only His Majesty can read it."

    Zhao Han cut open the mud seal with a knife, opened the letter to read, and couldn't help smiling.

    This letter was obviously written by Li Zicheng himself, and the words and sentences are very colloquial.

    "His Majesty the Emperor, I, Li Zicheng, have been fighting for half my life. Over the past few years, my old injuries have often flared up, and I can hardly walk in pain. My nephew Li Guo also died of illness, and my own son survived. He will be five years old this year"

    "The land in Hetao was originally very good. It's just that the weather is getting colder and the grain harvest is not as good as before. There are Mongolian Tartars everywhere. After conquering a few, they will rebel again in a blink of an eye. I led the troops to kill  Several times, all the Mongolian leaders in Hetao were killed. According to the words of the military adviser, they learned from the Manchurian Tartars and weaved flags for the herdsmen under their rule, and selected the prestigious herdsmen as the banner owners.  many"

    "Right now, Hetao is all my territory, and the Khalkha Tartars in Mobei don't dare to go south from Yinshan Mountain to grab things. However, there are still not enough people in the Han Dynasty, and Jining has been defeated several times. It is easy to fight and takes trouble.  My territory can't get any bigger, and there will be troubles"

    "I originally planned to go to Mobei. I led my troops out of the Yin Mountains for more than 20 miles, and then returned to Hetao in despair. There are Gobi deserts everywhere, so poor that birds can't shit, and crops can't grow. I want to fight Mobei.  Mongolian Tartars, you must prepare enough food and grass, or you will definitely starve to death halfway. I am trapped in Hetao, to the north is the Gobi, and to the west is the desert."

    "I can only fight to the east, once, and once. The number of soldiers is less and less, and the number of livestock is more and more. There are not enough Han people, so we can only let Mongolian herdsmen serve as soldiers. If this continues, I will almost become a Mongolian sweat. Now I  He is very rich, and there are too many war horses to use up. If the emperor does not have enough war horses, he can send people to Hetao to buy horses"

    "I don't know how many years I can live. My son is still young. After I die, I'm afraid I won't be able to suppress those old brothers. The life of orphans and widows will be very difficult. I can't kill all the old brothers. It's not like that."  Be cruel, secondly, Hetao is going to be in chaos"

    "I really want to surrender this time. I don't want anything. I just want the emperor to say a word. Allow me to go back to my hometown in Shaanxi to settle down and share some land for family business. You can take the wealth and food I have saved. The emperor under my command  Buwu, and this Hetao land, you can take it, the emperor. Just leave me some family money, and I will be a rich man when I return to my hometown."

    "My son is smart, the emperor wants to allow him to study and to be an official through the imperial examination"

    After reading this letter, Zhao Han couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Li Zicheng is really old, otherwise he won't give up easily. He should not be able to ride a horse soon. You should also read this letter."

    Fei Ruhe took the letter, read it and said: "Li Zicheng cannot be left in Shaanxi, the whole family must be kept in captivity in the capital."

    "No need," Zhao Han shook his head and said, "He is sincere enough to hand over his territory and army. I dare not even let him go home, and I want to keep his whole family in captivity. Doesn't the dignified emperor look like a small belly?"

    Fei Ruhe scratched his head and smiled, "Hehe, that's right."

    Zhao Han said: "Li Zicheng once resisted stubbornly and committed many murders. It is reasonable to throw him to Taiwan to deal with the Shengfan like Zhang Xianzhong did. But Li Zicheng took the entire Hetao and offered land and soldiers. This is a way to expand the territory.  He wants to take his wife and children back to his hometown, and all of these can be agreed. The title should also be given, and it’s fine to be a marquis. Many generals in the Datong Army are not convinced. Give Li Zicheng a count, and give him a count in the name of his hometown  .”

    Fei Ruhe said: "This old thing is lucky. After so many years of rebellion, he can finally get an earl."

    Zhao Han called the cabinet members and showed them Li Zicheng's personal letter.

    All the cabinet ministers were overjoyed, and they all praised him, and the soldiers won Hetao without bloodshed. Who would not be happy about this kind of great joy?

    Zhao Han said: "Make arrangements. Let the Ministry of Rites engrave the earl's seal, and then select envoys from Honglu Temple to go to Hetao to complete this matter. Generals under Li Zicheng's command should also be comforted. Those who are willing to return to their hometowns to live in peace can  Allow them to release their military power and return to their hometown. Then order the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion to let Cao Bianjiao take over Li Zicheng's troops. Li Zicheng's soldiers eliminated the old and the weak, leaving only 8,000 people. Cao Bianjiao brought 5,000 soldiers to go, and the two merged to form  The Fourth Cavalry Division of the Datong Army. This army will be responsible for guarding Hetao from now on."

    Those generals of Li Zicheng could not kill indiscriminately, nor could they stay in Hetao. They must be thrown back to their hometowns, so that they can truly receive and control the army.

    After arranging things, the cabinet minister bowed and retreated, Zhao Han took Fei Ruhe to the Imperial Garden to meet Fei Rulan and Fei Rumei

    Guihua City (Hohhot).

    Winding outside the city?Emperor Zhao is many.  "

    Li Zicheng waved his hand: "I'm definitely better than Chongzhen in governing the country. Compared with Emperor Zhao, I still can't compare. I know my own skills and don't talk about those big words. I used to underestimate the Mongols. I always thought that if you bring troops here, you can defeat them."  The country was founded on a large piece of land. But in the past few years, only Hetao has been beaten. The husband told the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but it was not Huo Qubing. Even if it was Huo Qubing, he couldn’t open it on the grassland.  With the cooperation of other troops, he alone cannot seal Langjuxu."

    "Your Majesty sees things very clearly." Niu Jinxing could only agree.

    Li Zicheng rubbed his swollen kneecaps and said, "I have no other ideas now, I just want to go back to my hometown and get some good fields to grow wheat. It's best if the government doesn't come to bully you, let me be a rich man in the countryside. That's even worse  Mobei Mongol Tartars, leave it to Emperor Zhao to fight slowly."&lt;/div&gt

 Text 782 [Emperor personally teaching the prince]

    After Fei Ruhe returned to Beijing, he was summoned into the palace every three days.  Either Zhao Han himself summoned him, or the Fei sisters invited him. From the outsiders' perspective, it was extremely gracious.

    On this day, Prince Zhao Kuanghuan was studying in Wenhua Hall, and Zhao Han brought Fei Ruhe to supervise the school in person.

    For this uncle, Zhao Kuanghuan felt a little strange, but his reputation was well known.  Among his classmates, there are also quite a few admirers of Governor Fei.

    Huang Zongxi was talking about "Three Origins". When all the officials saw the emperor coming, they all wanted to get up and pay respects.  Zhao Han raised his hand to stop them, telling them not to move around, and the teaching activities continued.

    Including Huang Zongxi, everyone was a little nervous, and Zhao Kuanghuan couldn't help but look back many times.

    "No distractions!"

    It was Huang Zongxi who calmed down first, and tapped the table with a ruler to remind the prince not to be distracted.

    In the middle of the class, a person from Zhongshu She came.  He was not allowed to enter, and he could not move around at will, so he had to stand at the door and wait.

    Until school was over and everyone else was allowed to leave, Zhao Han said, "Come in."

    Zhao Han went over to take the main seat, and the crown prince and Fei Ruhe sat on the lower seats on both sides.  Huang Zongxi, Hu Mengtai, Li Yong, and Zhang Dai who came over after hearing the news, all sat down one by one in a bewildered manner.

    "Minister Fan Biying, pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

    The reputation of Zhongshusheren before his death led to advocacy in the countryside everywhere, denouncing the descendants of the Fan family who refused to hand over the land as a generation of forgetful ancestors!  "

    Fan Biying was so frightened that her whole body went limp, and she almost passed out on the spot.

    Zhao Han said with a gloomy face, "Xu Buzheng is waiting to investigate and deal with this matter. As soon as the order was issued to Wu County, the local officials suppressed it and wrote a letter to persuade Xu Buzheng to stop. Those scholars in Wu County gathered as many as a hundred people  , jointly put pressure on Xu Buzheng. What are you talking about, Fan's Yizhuang is the backbone of Wu County's culture, and it must not be easily destroyed"

    Zhao Han then asked Fan Biying, "Xu Buzheng said in his secret report that he intends to severely punish this matter, killing some, imprisoning some, exiling some, and dismissing some. Do you think this is an appropriate way to deal with it?"

    Fan Biying bit the bullet and replied, "Extremely appropriate. Those who undermine Tianzheng should be severely punished!"

    Zhao Han asked Zhao Kuanghuan again, "What does the crown prince think?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan already understood in his heart that his father chose to handle the matter in the Wenhua Palace because he wanted to personally show him how to govern the country.  Immediately he said, "Father, my son doesn't know what's going on. You all taught me that you should be cautious in governing the country, and don't make decisions lightly without knowing the cause and effect. So what exactly is Fan's Yizhuang?"

    Zhao Han was very satisfied with his son's answer, and turned his eyes to Zhang Dai, "Zhang Qing told the prince, Fan Shiyi, a whip method has been completely deformed, and Fan's Yizhuang has revived and become more prosperous than before. Fan's Yizhuang should  All the land taxes that were handed in were spread on the heads of the poor people, forcing many peasants to go bankrupt! There were no lands that were scattered and swindled, and Fan’s Yizhuang also concealed it, and even a tael of silver was not handed over to the court!"

    "Hoo!"

    Zhao Han slammed the table and said angrily, "When the Datong Army recaptured Jiangnan, they had already determined the nature of Fan's Yizhuang. The acres of Fan's Yizhuang were just distributed to surrounding farmers, and most of the land winners were Fan's descendants.  I respect Fan Wenzheng, and I don't want to treat his descendants badly. At that time, I only killed a few notorious people. It has only been ten years, and someone from the Fan family has made a comeback. Do you really think that I am dead? I really think the court's blade is not good  There are still so many officials and scholars pleading for mercy for the Fan family who invaded the land! Prince, what is the Fan’s Yizhuang?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan thought about it carefully, and sorted out his words, "Fan's Yizhuang has gained a great reputation for helping the tribe and the village. In fact, he is generous to the court. He used the land tax that should have been taken away by the court to do good deeds and invite him to buy his own reputation. Bad  Very good!"

    "More than that," Zhao Han said, "Fan's Yizhuang, in the pre-Ming Dynasty, was swindled and sent to many farmers in Wu County. Thousands of acres of fertile land were not paid taxes to the court, and the pits that were all used for relief were almost the same.  Just lose the official. In his heart, he has already regarded the tribe and Yizhuang as a disaster, and he must be dealt with no matter what.

    Clan migration!

    Fan Biying has already decided that when the case is settled, he will go to the Shu and request that the Fan family be divided into clans, and a group of them will be moved to Hebei to settle down.  Clans have been migrated before, but it is not enough, we need to continue to move.  The harder he dealt with the family, the more he would gain the respect of the emperor. Anyway, if he wanted to be stabbed in the back by the clansman, it would be better to kill him.

    Fei Ruhe watched the whole process without saying a word.

    He knew what Zhao Han meant, so he invited himself to watch this good show for no reason.  It's nothing more than beating him, Fei Dadu, don't destroy the land administration, and you should restrain yourself from doing business with the clansmen to make money.

    Zhao Han waved his hand to push everyone away, and Fan Biying left in a cold sweat.

    &nbsp;Zhao Han asked Zhao Kuanghuan, "The prince is watching the government today, what do you get?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan thought about it carefully, "After Zhongliang, it is not necessarily Zhongliang. After sages, they are not necessarily sages. Whether it is the Fan family in Wu County or the Confucian family in Qufu, they must be dealt with according to the "Law of Datong", and they cannot be given special preferential treatment. These celebrities  If the descendants of the descendants really want to act recklessly and rely on the good reputation left by their ancestors, it will do more harm to the country."

    As soon as this remark came out, there was a drastic change in the face of someone on the spot.

    It's over, my lord

    ?Except for Hebei, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Liaoning, all the other provinces have started large-scale land clearing operations due to the vast land and sparse population.

    If a dynasty reaches the middle stage, Qingtian will become as difficult as ever.

    However, in the early days of the dynasty, it was actually relatively easy to check the fields and clear the population.  As long as the relevant policies are reasonable, the grassroots will be willing to cooperate, and officials and gentry will not dare to challenge the authority of the emperor.

    From Zhu Yuanzhang's founding of the Ming Dynasty to the tenth year of Yongle, the fields and population of the Ming Dynasty were checked every ten years (population statistics are available every year, but a large-scale inventory is checked every ten years).

    According to the statistics of "Ming Shilu", it can be seen that the population of Ming Dynasty has increased year by year, reaching 66 million and 65 million in the first year of Yongle and the tenth year of Yongle respectively.  After that, it went down all the way, always hovering around 50 million people. Zhu Di estimated that he was busy with the northern expedition to the grasslands, and his control over the local area declined significantly. Every time the population was checked, the officials were fooling.

    Until the Chenghua period, Zhu Jianshen, the faint king who favored the concubine Wan Gui, ascended the throne. Facing the mess of millions of refugees, the population of the Ming Dynasty skyrocketed to 60 million.  By the fifteenth year of Chenghua, the population of Ming Dynasty had climbed to a peak of 71 million.

    Then, a generation of Mingjun, the lord of ZTE, and Emperor Hongzhi of the Ming Dynasty succeeded to the throne, and the population instantly plummeted to 50 million.

    It is also very interesting to compare with the number of acres.

    In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the country's cultivated land was more than 370 million mu.  In the 25th year of Hongwu, the inventory of farmland was completed, and the country's cultivated land soared to 880 million mu—this was not the beginning, but the peak of the entire Ming Dynasty.

    In the period of Emperor Hongzhi, the amount of cultivated land in the country was directly halved compared with that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

    As the founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang really did whatever he wanted.  Let’s talk about checking the number of acres of land and making yellow books. In one year, the amount of cultivated land in the country has doubled, from 370 million mu to 880 million mu.

    Zhao Han was also the founding emperor, and he also wanted to do whatever he wanted.

    After an imperial decree went down, officials all over the country got busy.  The province sent commissioners to the government to supervise, and the government sent commissioners to the prefectures and counties to supervise.  Often the county yamen and household departments are short-staffed, and officials have to be seconded from other departments, and village and town cadres and peasant associations are also functioning.

    A large number of cases of violence or covert occupation of civilian land were exposed during the process of clearing land.

    ?With the support of the emperor, if local officials dare to conceal it, there will always be farmers who go to report anonymously.  Low-level peasants, every household has children who read books. Many anonymous report letters are written by elementary school students.

    More and more officials were sacked, and more and more powerful gentry were arrested, and then they were waiting to be collectively moved to the Heilongjiang capital.

    The Heilongjiang capital is too remote, and normal immigrants are unwilling to go there. Isn't there enough immigrants now?

    Guo Shunyu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, summarized the situation in the two provinces around the capital, and reported to the emperor: "Your Majesty, most of the land invasion cases in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces took advantage of immigration. The imperial court organizes immigration every year. The original land  Redistribution. Immigrants can designate an acre of land and donate it to relatives who stay in their original place. The rest of the land will be distributed by the government to the newly grown people nearby. This kind of distribution is done by local officials and gentry tyrants! Occupy people's land  Most of them are not low-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen, but small officials in the county government and prominent families in the countryside."

    "What do you want to say?" Zhao Han asked.

    Guo Shunyu said: "The four provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei, and Liaoning have continuously immigrated nearly one million people. The imperial court's immigration plan can no longer be implemented, and it is better to wait for these provinces to reproduce naturally. The more immigrants to the north, the more land in the south.  The more chaotic, and the court has spent countless money and food. Since the recovery of the north, the court has not fought much, but there is not much money and food left in the treasury, all of which are thrown into the immigrants. The transportation along the way, the resettlement of the refugees, the gift  Cattle, seeds, clothes, subsidies money is needed everywhere, food is needed everywhere.”

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "The treasury is now the head of the Ministry of Finance, and it has nothing to do with your household department. What are you worried about when the treasury is empty?"

    Guo Shunyu cried and said: "But the immigration is managed by the household department. From the central household department to the county government household department, the officials are all exhausted. One person is used as several people. The money and food needed for immigration need to be contacted with each government office.  From application, review to approval, the whole day is extremely busy. Immigrants from their original places to new ones are all under the supervision of the household registration department. If there is a slight mistake, they will be suspended at every turn. There are finance and bank officials watching over them, and from time to time  To cope with the review of money and food, we must also cooperate with the supervision of the Inspectorate.”

    This is to complain, the officials in charge of immigration are really tired.  Moreover, immigrants’ money and food are supervised layer by layer, so there will be no problems if they are greedy for small things, but they will be easily exposed if they are a little bit greedy.

    Zhao Han said: "MoveThe north is dying, so grain has to be transported from the south to clear the grasslands.  It is easy to fight, but it has to immigrate and garrison on the grassland, the supply line will be dragged longer, and more food and grass will be consumed. At most, Jining (Ulanchabu) can be fought.  After His Majesty immigrated to enrich the north, food and grass will be abundant, and the supply line will be shortened. Not only can you reach Jining, but you can also mobilize a large army to fight in Mobei.  "

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked again: "What is Mobei like? Has uncle been there?"

    Fei Ruhe explained: "I've never been to Mobei, but I worked in the caravan and found out a lot of news about Mobei. After crossing the Yin Mountain, the Gobi Desert is everywhere in the north. Without a guide, you will get lost in the desert.  After crossing the Gobi Desert, you will find the grasslands of Mobei Mongolia. If you want to fight Mobei, you must have a lot of rations, such a long journey, and there are deserts everywhere, and if you don’t pay attention, you will starve to death without food."

    "Will Uncle seal the wolf from now on?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked excitedly.

    "Sealing Langjuxu, I will definitely do it. This is the agreement with His Majesty at the beginning," Fei Ruhe became depressed as he spoke, "Unfortunately, I don't know where Langjuxu Mountain is.  The Mongols have never heard of Langjuxu."

    Zhao Kuanghuan was speechless for a moment. He wanted to seal the general who lived in the wolf, but he didn't know the specific address.

    Fei Ruhe said again: "I have already found out that Yanran Mountain in Leshi Yanran is on the Mongolian territory of Khalkha! So, regardless of Langjuxu, Leshi Yanran is also good.?

 Text 784 [Zhu Hongwu is reborn?  】

    "Your Majesty, outside the residence of Lord Zhen Guo (Fei Ruhe), there are many people posting and visiting every day. But they are all dispatched by merchants, and no court officials are involved. Lord Zhen closed the door to thank guests. In fact, he didn't live at home at all.  Hiding in the residence of Lord Baoguo (Fei Chun). Now the merchants who want to see Lord Zhenguo have all gone to the Dongjiao racecourse. In addition, the crown prince also showed up at the racecourse, and yesterday, more than 5,000 people bought tickets to enter the racecourse."

    "I see, step back, don't need to watch anymore."

    Zhao Han rarely monitored the minister's whereabouts. He sent someone to watch Fei Ruhe purely to know what his childhood friend would do.

    Facts have proved that Fei Ruhe is very smart.

    Fei Ruhe knew that he was based in the north, and businessmen who wanted to do grassland business would definitely come to visit Taojin.  He couldn't be bothered to talk to him, so he simply didn't stay at home.  The place where he lives is also very interesting, he actually lives directly in Fei Chun's house.

    What is this expressing?

    First, although I let my clan brother do business, all operations are legal, and the money I make is also in accordance with the court's laws, and I will not accept bribes from other merchants.

    Second, I do not collude with the ministers of the DPRK and China, or even deal with the ministers.  But I am nostalgic. I don't need to avoid suspicion about my relationship with Fei Chun. I believe His Majesty the Emperor will not be suspicious.  I regard Fei Chun as an old friend, and I will definitely regard His Majesty the Emperor as an old friend.

    What really made Zhao Han dumbfounded was that none of the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty dared to visit Fei Ruhe on his own initiative.

    Xu Ying's cleansing of Jiangsu's officialdom was followed by a nationwide cleanup of land. More and more local officials were arrested, and occasionally the ministers of the DPRK and China were involved.  This series of operations frightened the Beijing officials. They felt that Zhao Han was going to play Zhu Yuanzhang's tricks. How could he dare to meet Fei Ruhe openly?

    After all, Fei Ruhe is not only the Duke of Zhen, not only the Zuo Dudu of the Dudu Mansion, but also the uncle of the crown prince!

    If you get too close to Duke Zhen, what if the emperor becomes suspicious?

    No longer caring about Fei Ruhe's affairs, Zhao Han opened a memorial and became angry just by reading the beginning: "Am I that scary? The dignified minister of the Ministry of Industry is so scared that he wants to resign and return home!"

    Ding Shijing, who was burying his head in writing the notes on daily life, murmured in his heart: It’s not just scary, both inside and outside the court were scared to death

    Li's house.

    Li Rixuan complained to Yang Zhong who came to visit: "How dare you come to my place at a time like this? Beware of being watched by the guards in black!"

    Yang Zhong said: "The Black Guards have been changed to the National Security Council, and they never monitor ministers."

    Li Rixuan retreated to the left and right, took Yang Zhong into the study, and said in a low voice: "How do you know that His Majesty doesn't monitor the ministers? Maybe today when you and I meet, you have already fallen into the sight of the black-clothed guards! Your Majesty will be Zhu Hongwu, black-clothed  Wei is Jinyiwei!"

    "Hui Bogong is worrying too much," Yang Zhong asked, "I heard that Hui Bogong asked to be appointed as an official? That's good, why didn't the minister of the Ministry of Industry do it?"

    Li Rixuan said: "Zhejiang has just found out a major corruption case. I used to be the political envoy of Zhejiang Zuobu. In this major case, the Zhejiang bureaucrat who committed the crime was the one I used in Zhejiang. This guy is so bold.  Buying and selling officials, it’s like the old birthday star eats arsenic and is impatient to live! My old subordinate, who has such a big incident, how can I have the face to be an official? How can I have the courage to be an official?”

    In addition to being responsible for evaluating the performance of officials in the province, the official selection departments of each province also have the power to appoint miscellaneous officials in the province, and have the power to appoint officials at all levels of the provincial government.

    To be honest, Zhao Han never expected that officials would dare to buy and sell official positions on a large scale in the eleventh year since he became emperor!

    ?The specific operation is: send money to the chief official of the Zhejiang Office of Officials, and the official's provincial assessment will be rated as excellent.  The Central Bureau of Officials generally will not overturn this kind of performance evaluation, and it will be easier for the official to be promoted in the future.  This is a fraudulent political performance, selling officials in a disguised form.  It is more convenient to sell officials directly. The Zhejiang Office of Officials can handle miscellaneous officials and officials in the province within the scope of its authority.

    This big case of selling officials in Zhejiang was actually involved by Qing Tian.

    A middle school dropout who didn't get a diploma because of his poor grades applied for the county clerk exam with his primary school diploma, and was admitted by virtue of his nepotism.  Because the family is rich, this guy started to spend money, and he was excellent in the examination every time, and was quickly promoted to the fourth-class official.  Then he went to spend money and was transferred to Qiantang County as the head of the household section, in charge of the household registration and field records of the whole county.

    The land clearing operation in Zhejiang Province was first launched in Qiantang County and Renhe County. The land administration in the two counties was in a complete mess.

    ?The head of the Qiantang County Household Section was arrested, and after some interrogation, the matter of buying an official for promotion was exposed.  Following the clues and investigating step by step, it was found that the office of officials in Zhejiang was at the head of the official office in Zhejiang, and the head of the official office in Zhejiang took the lead in messing up.  As a result, there are some big or small problems in the evaluation and promotion of officials in Zhejiang province.

    "ZhejiangPeople do not do it themselves, they are only responsible for arranging manpower and reviewing manuscripts, and even so, the review is often dark.  The compilation activities of each group involved a huge workload. In addition to the official historical materials of the Ming Dynasty, as long as there were local chronicles that could be found, they had to read the local chronicles first.

    The two of them watched the excitement and made complaints about the officialdom, while they immersed themselves in compiling history books, completely staying out of the political whirlpool.

    In September of the eleventh year of the Republic of China, Li Rixuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, made three requests and three resignations, and was approved by the emperor to resign and return to his hometown.  Before leaving Beijing, he was added to the crown prince and Taifu, which was regarded as the court's affirmation of his work.

    The court ministers, no one dared to argue for anything, they all buried themselves in their jobs, for fear of being involved in the investigation of the place.

    Even when Fei Ruhe left Beijing to go north, except for Fei Chun and other old friends, no official dared to see him off.

    Who doesn't know the story of Zhu Yuanzhang's killing spree?

    In the eyes of many ministers, Emperor Zhao looked more and more like Zhu Yuanzhang.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 785 [Grassland Beacon]

    Zhen Juan 1 Sleepy Shoal 785 In the ninth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, 49 nobles from 24 Mongolian tribes met in Shenyang with Jin Wenwu and jointly promoted Huang Taiji as "Bokdachechen Khan".

    Since then, the Nenhorqin tribe formed the Zhelimu League, which established the pattern of two wings and ten banners.

    ? In this time and space, the Manchu Dynasty is over early and early. After years of infighting in the Nenhorqin tribe, only six of the previous ten banners merged with each other.

    They are: Hongguoer Department, Manzhu Xili Department, Bada Ritual Department, Lama Shixi Department, Gumu Department, and Bumuba Department.

    Among them, Hong Guoer is Hauge's father-in-law, and Manzhu Xili is Dayuer's brother.  Badali turned his back on the battlefield and was the leader of Horqin who first led his troops to join the Datong Army.

    Facing the invasion of Khalkha Mongols and the coercion of the Datong Army, the tribes of Nenhorqin gathered in the Tongliao League of later generations.

    Badali didn't come, he was ostracized.

    If it wasn't for the secret help of the Datong Army, Badali's territory had already been divided up, who would have made him a traitor?

    Hong Guoer is the most powerful, and he is also the oldest. He deserves to be the convener. He sat on the earthen platform and said: "The Khalkhas invaded the north, and the Han people threatened and oppressed the south. We Horqin people can no longer fight among themselves. Today  Calling everyone here is to rejoin the alliance here. Choose an alliance leader, and from now on, we will be unanimous in the outside world, and no one is allowed to betray the alliance!"

    The situation of the Horqin ministries is very embarrassing. They all originally belonged to the Zhelimu League.  But Zhelimu Mountain, where the alliance was held, was on the territory of Badali, and Badali became the dog leg of the Datong Army.

    "I support the sworn alliance!" Manzhu Xili stood up and responded.

    Hong Guoer and Manzhu Xili, relying on mergers and expansions in recent years, have become Horqin duo.  Once the alliance is successful, they all hope to be the leader.

    "I also support the Huimeng." Lama Shixi said helplessly.

    Lama Shixi's territory is in Xing'an League, Qiqihar, Daqing and other places.  It seems that the territory is very large, but it is too cold in the north and far away from Han, so it is difficult to buy ironware, tea and grain.  Moreover, facing the invasion of Khalkha Mongolia, I couldn't bear it at all, so I had to pull other Horqin to fight together.

    In the end, only Gumu and Bumba were left. Both of them belonged to Guoerluosi Mongolia, and they were both affiliated forces of the Horqin Department.  They survived purely on the edge of their positions, and Horqin's troops were busy fighting among themselves.

    Hong Guoer was very satisfied: "Since everyone agrees, let's choose a leader."

    Manzhu Xili said: "Yes, the leader should be chosen. Whoever is the leader, all ministries will elect him as the Great Khan."

    The remaining three people looked around, but none of them dared to make a statement.

    Manzhu Xili said again: "It's better to try riding and shooting. Whoever wins will sweat profusely!"

    Hong Guoer, a young man, said: "A great Khan must have prestige and wisdom, but bravery is second."

    Lama Shixi was afraid that they would fight, and if the alliance failed, he would face the Khalkha Mongolian army alone.  At this time, he quickly said: "It's better for the two of you to sweat profusely together."

    However, Hong Guoer said: "The Great Khan and the Deputy Khan also have to be prioritized."

    Manzhu Xili also said: "The primary and secondary should be distinguished."

    There is no way to talk about this matter. The grassland respects strength, but the strength of the two of them is about the same.

    ? There was no result in the discussion that day, and the discussion continued the next day. In the end, we could only compromise with each other. Hong Guoer and Manzhu Xili sweated profusely together.  For a period of three years, the Great Khan and Deputy Khan take turns. The first Great Khan is determined by the warriors under his command.

    During the two days of the contest, the warriors from the Hongguoer Division were slightly better.

    Satisfied, Hong Guoer, who became the Great Khan, convened the chiefs of various ministries, including those small chiefs, to discuss: "Kalka is in the northwest, and the Han people are in the south. We cannot fight on both sides. Moreover, we have surrendered to the Han emperor, and the Han army has  You are so powerful, you can’t turn against the Han people at this time. Not only can’t you turn against the Han people, but you have to be humble and send tribute to the Han emperor. Ask the Han emperor to send troops to help us fight Khalkha!”

    "But" Bumuba said, "The Han emperor wants to set up the capital of Heilongjiang. He wants to set up a capital in my territory, and also set aside grassland for Han immigrants. The Han soldiers have already arrived, and they are on my territory.  I dare not stop, I can only withdraw the herdsmen."

    Gu Mu said: "It's the same for me. The Han soldiers want to take away a large piece of my land and assign it all to the Heilongjiang capital."

    However, Hong Guoer said: "The pastures requested by the Han soldiers are not large, and you have no loss. I think you should agree, so that the Han emperor can send troops to help."

    After saying this, Bumba and Gu Mu stopped talking.

    They were sold, who made them the weakest?  There is no right to speak at all.?!

    Gu Mu continued: "The Khalkha Mongolian army has come again, and the two branches of the Bahrain tribe have all been conquered. The Ongniud tribe has also escaped. It is a good time for us to send troops. Horqin is going to fight Khalkha.  It must be empty, just in time to send troops to seize their pasture!"

    Li Zheng hesitated.

    Horqin is fighting against Khalkha, so it is a bit unreasonable to stab Horqin's chrysanthemum by himself.  If Horqin's various ministries jumped the wall in a hurry and simply took refuge in the Khalkha leader, the Datong Army would face more enemies.

    Li Zheng said: "Don't be in a hurry, let them fight, and we will clean up the mess after the fight."

    Li Zheng immediately sent an urgent letter to inform the Liaoning side.

    Liaoning had received the news a long time ago, but it was from Hebei.

    The generals of the Datong Army in the capitals of Hebei, Liaoning, and Heilongjiang responded surprisingly unanimously, that is, let Khalkha and Horqin fight first, and wait until the Datong Army is almost finished.

 Text 786 [The Great War between Khalkha and Horqin]

    Zhen Juan Yishui Shoal 786 Arukorqin Banner.

    This is the first stop of Horqin's eastward migration a hundred years ago.  The tribes that continue to migrate to the east are collectively called "Nen Horqin", which is the most widely known Horqin tribe.  Those who stayed here and did not leave are called "Alukorqin".

    When Khalkha's 100,000 Mongolian army came, Weng Niute was so frightened that he fled to join the Datong army.

    The next one to be attacked was the Alu Horqin Department.  There were only more than 2,000 cavalry left in this department, and they fled away from a long distance. They took their livestock and sought shelter from the Nen Horqin Department.

    "Great Khan, 1,500 cavalry from Zarut's troops are coming to meet up, and they have reached the north a few miles away."

    "It's good to receive them."

    Chahundorji, "Waqilai Tushetu Khan with both faith and strength", is holding a military meeting in the sweat tent at the moment: "The Mongolian tribes here have lost the bravery of the Golden Family. Alu Horqin and Ong Niut  They will only run away when they meet us. Conquering the entire Horqin Grassland seems to be a very easy task. According to the news from the Bahrain Ministry, Badari of the Horqin Right-wing Central Banner was rejected by the leaders of the Horqin tribes. If we attack Pakistan first  Dali, it's easier to fight alone and helpless"

    "No," Morgan interrupted suddenly, "Badali was rejected by the Horqin tribes because he took refuge in the Han emperor. When we attack Badali, the Datong Army of the Han will definitely send troops to rescue. The Han soldiers are so powerful that even Manchuria  The Jurchens were wiped out by them."

    Chahun Dorji's face was ugly, and when he was interrupted, he thought his authority was being challenged, and immediately sneered: "How strong can the Han soldiers be? Every Mongolian tribe has been made so weak by the Jurchens.  They didn’t dare to go north. Monan Mongolia, which the Han soldiers dared not attack, we easily seized pastures after we came. Compared with this, our Khalkha warriors can completely defeat the Han soldiers!”

    Darhan, another leader of Khalkha, put it relatively tactfully: "Khan, although we are stronger than the Han soldiers, but the tribes of Horqin are still alive, there is no need to provoke the Han people in advance. Make them anxious, just in case  Horqin and the Han people united, didn't we have many enemies for no reason?"

    The current situation is very delicate. Horqin is sandwiched between Khalkha and the Datong Army.

    Khalkha was afraid that Horqin would fall to the Datong Army, and the Datong Army was also afraid that Horqin would fall to Khalkha.  However, both the Datong Army and Khalkha want to send troops to Horqin!

    Lama Tenzin, who accompanied the army, said: "Korqin and we are both Mongols, and we don't have to conquer by force. The Khan can be more tolerant, and as long as they are willing to surrender, he promises to protect the interests of the leaders of Horqin's tribes. But there is one prerequisite, Horqin  Ministries, must abandon their shamanism."

    Mergen echoed: "Yes, if you give up shamanism, you will allow Horqin to surrender!"

    Chahun Dorji only succeeded his dead father last year. Although he has been leading the army before, now he also needs military exploits to consolidate his authority.  He held the handle of the knife and said: "The tribes of Horqin will not surrender easily. Everything must be beaten. If you don't beat them hard, even if they surrender today, they will rebel tomorrow. Since you are opposed, then go ahead  Instead of hitting Badali, go directly to the most fertile pasture in Horqin!"

    Morgan was still afraid of the Datong Army, and reminded: "Great Khan, the father of Great Khan last year sent envoys to the south to request the canonization of the Han emperor, but he was called back halfway. Now the war is about to break out. In order to prevent the Han soldiers from getting involved,  You can send envoys to the south again"

    "Nonsense! Am I afraid of the Han people? I want to be the sweat of all Mongolia, and sooner or later I will have a decisive battle with the Han people!" Chahun Dorji was furious.

    Darhan quickly smoothed things over: "Khan, Morgan is not afraid of the Han people, but is using a strategy. The envoys sent out do not need to go to Nanjing, but only need to contact the generals of the Han soldiers. We declare that we will surrender to the Han emperor, so that we can  Confuse the generals of the Han soldiers and make them hesitate to send troops for a short time. When Horqin is annexed, it will not be too late to turn their backs."

    Chahun Dorji was slightly able to accept this statement, nodded in approval and said: "It is indeed a good strategy."

    Immediately, Khalkha Mongol envoys went south to Hebei to fool Zhang Tieniu, delaying time under the guise of asking for surrender.

    At the same time, the Khalkha army continued to advance eastward.

    In addition to the soldiers of the seven tribes of Khalkha, there are many conquered tribal warriors.  For example, the Hulunbeier Grassland also has a branch of Alukorqin, which was annexed by Khalkha two years ago.  Another example is the Xilin Gol Grassland, where the Chahar Mongolian branch has also been conquered by Khalkha.  There are also the Bahrain Department and the Zarut Department, all of which sent troops to follow the war.

    ?The combined strength of the various ministries has exceeded 100,000 people, plus the livestock accompanying the army, it can be called magnificent when marching on the grassland.

    Mongolia is really in decline, and the Khalkhas have tried their best to gather.; Chahundorji led the army to chase all the way, only to see the robbed Zalut and Bahrain departments, and even Xilin Gol was robbed of two pastures.

    "Bastard, how dare you tease me like this!"

    Chahun Dorji led his army in pursuit, and was dumbfounded when he chased into the mountains of the Xing'an League.  Earth walls were built in several river valley passages, and the Khalkha cavalry had to dismount and "siege" the city.

    "Cut down trees, build ladders, I want to level this place!"

    Chahun Dorji no longer cared about casualties, he just wanted to let out a bad breath.

    The earth wall is not high, only two meters, but Khalkha Mongolian soldiers are really not good at siege warfare.  And no matter how many there are, they can't be deployed in the river valley. The extra soldiers can only stand far away, throwing bows and arrows towards the earth wall.

    Inside and outside the earthen walls, arrows were flying all over the sky. On the first day of the battle, hundreds of Khalkha soldiers were killed or injured.

    As the defensive side, the Horqin army faced the same difficult situation.

    "Sweat, sweat, it's not good!"

    "explain!"

    "The tribes we withdrew to the north bank of the Nen River were chased by tens of thousands of Khalkha soldiers. The tribes are continuing to retreat north, but sooner or later they will be overtaken by the enemy."

    If a large number of people evacuate with all their belongings, they will leave traces on the grassland, and the marks of vehicles and livestock are difficult to erase.

    Horqin gathered the main force to sneak attack on the enemy's garrison, and Khalkha was also dividing troops to pursue Horqin's tribe.

    On the north bank of the Nen River, there are Hong Guoer's people and all his property.

    Hong Guoer said anxiously: "We can't continue to entangle, let in the enemies outside the earthen wall, and lure them into a more dangerous valley to ambush them!"

    Another day passed, and the defenders obviously released water, and Khalkha's offense quickly had an effect.

    One Khalkha soldier after another chased them out over the earthen wall, and the Horqin soldiers were beaten and fled.  Khalkha soldiers carried logs again, knocked down several earthen walls, and led their horses through the ruined walls.

    Just when the whole army was about to chase after them on horseback, Chahun Dorji looked at the valley in front of him: "Blow the trumpet and send orders, the whole army advances slowly, send more soldiers to explore, and don't fall into the enemy's ambush. The enemy's defeat is very strange,  It doesn't look like it's broken."

    Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 787 Between Daqing and Qiqihar, there is a pasture with crisscross rivers and interlaced lakes.

    This was originally the territory of Durbert Mongolia. After several years of fighting, the two banners of Durbert have been divided by Horqin Mongolia.  The leaders of the two banners were all beheaded, and Horqin Mongolia was separated from Taiji to rule.

    Now, Horqin's main force has gone to the west to attack, and Hongguoer and the tribe of Manzhu Xili have all withdrawn to this grassland with their goods, livestock and food.

    "Jinong, the traces ahead are getting newer and fresher, and the enemy's troops must be not far away."

    "Give up the logistics and luggage, leave 3,000 escorts, and the rest follow me at full speed!"

    Darhan gave an order and led more than 40,000 cavalry, abandoning the logistics and moving forward at full speed.  And the troops were divided into two groups, all the way to the north along the Nen River, all the way to bypass the Lianhuan Hubei.

    The autumn of Lianhuan Lake is very beautiful, the clear lake water reflects the blue sky, and the lakeside is full of reeds undulating in the wind.  There are still many unharvested wheat fields that are billowing with smoke, and the Horqin people also burned the wheat that could not be taken away.  Continuing to the north, there is a large Populus euphratica forest. The golden leaves of Populus euphratica are reflected in the lake like a paradise.

    However, neither the chasing nor the fleeing parties were in the mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery.

    It was a woman named "Bo Li" who fled with Horqin's men.  One of her daughters married Huang Taiji; her other daughter married Dorgon.

    "Second concubine, second concubine, the enemy is coming!"

    Bo Li's title in the Qing Dynasty was "Second Concubine Horqin".  There is also a "Concubine Horqin", Bo Li's mother-in-law, who has already died of illness.

    Bo Li is an old woman. She reined in her horse and looked behind her: "I can't escape. We have too many cattle, sheep, chariots and horses, and we can't outrun the enemy's cavalry. We shouldn't miss the wheat here, and we shouldn't covet the comfort here.  It's time to continue to retreat north. Take up your arms and prepare to fight."

    "Da da da da!"

    ?The Khalkha cavalry along the Nenjiang River went north, and they were the first to catch up with the Horqin tribe.

    20,000 cavalry, against tens of thousands of old and weak women and children, and more than 4,000 Han slaves.

    Darhan ordered: "Don't kill young women, don't kill young children, don't kill Han Chinese slaves, kill all the rest!"

    Twenty thousand Khalkha cavalry began to disperse and outflank, shooting arrows towards the periphery of Horqin's tribe along the way.

    Bo Li led a group of aristocratic women, armed with weapons, ready to fight for their lives.

    Seeing that he was surrounded on all sides, the members of many small tribes put down their weapons without any resistance.  And those thousands of Han Chinese slaves lay on the ground directly, anyway, they are the same whoever wins or loses.

    "Woooooooooo~~~~"

    The rumbling horn sounded, and the Khalkha cavalry began to charge.  After two consecutive waves of charges everywhere, Horqin's troops collapsed before they could meet the enemy, because they were not soldiers in the first place.

    Team after team of Khalkha cavalry charged and divided the Horqin tribe, and began to kill all living people except young women, young children and Han slaves.

    Because Bo Li was too old, he was hacked to death as soon as they met each other.

    Among the noble women who followed her, all the old ones were dead, and those with gray hair were tied up.

    It only took an hour, and the battle was completely over.

    "Jinong, the interrogation is clear. These are Hong Guoer's wife and daughter-in-law. Over there are Manzhu Xili's wife and daughter-in-law." An officer brought more than twenty women to report.

    Darhan glanced at them, pointed at the two wretched women and said, "Kill them."

    Since the woman of the leader of Horqin has lost her beauty, she can only be killed, and it is impossible to reward her subordinates.  As for those who are still beautiful, even if they are pregnant, of course they are distributed to the Nuoyans of Khalkha Mongolia.

    Darhan rode forward, pointed to a beautiful woman and asked, "Who are you?"

    The beautiful woman did not answer. The officer before said: "She is the daughter-in-law who is full of pearls and rituals."

    Darhan glanced at his slightly swollen belly and asked, "Pregnant?"

    The beautiful woman finally said, "Great Khan, forgive me."

    "I'm not Great Khan, I'm Khalkha Deputy Khan," Darhan said, "If you are willing to follow me, I will protect your safety. I will also raise the child in your belly as my own."

    "Thank you, Deputy Khan, for your kindness!" The beautiful woman knelt down to thank her.

    Grassland warfare is the same thing, snatching women, snatching children, snatching livestock, and snatching slaves.  Ordinary young and strong can be kept, but the leaders of the various ministries will basically die, unless the leader has not completely failed, before the defeat."Shixi's servant left with his people. He must join the enemy with his clan. Let's hurry up too. If we don't leave, we will be besieged. We will immediately cross the Xing'an Mountains and head south!"

    The place where they withdrew their garrison was already far north, and there was only a narrow river valley that could cross the Xing'an Mountains to the west. When they walked out of the mountains, they were almost at the Hulunbuir Grassland.

    In the southwest of Qiqihar, Lama Shixi came to vote with his tribe and family.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Chahun Dorji, who dreamed of becoming Genghis Khan, laughed out of complacency: "Walk south and attack Badali!"

    The forces in the entire Horqin Grassland have either fled or been conquered, leaving only Badari who is a dog for the Datong Army.

    ? Chahun Dorji brazenly sent troops to destroy Badali, which was tantamount to declaring war on the Han court.

    Badali is not stupid. Seeing that Hong Guoer and others were being chased farther and farther away, he already felt that something was wrong.  When Khalkha's army sent troops to attack him, Badali had already led his troops to Chifeng.

    We can't beat you, can't we still run?

    There are Han fathers over there in Chifeng, so come here if you are awesome.  Sun thief, I can't kill you!

    ,

    Xilamulun River means "Yellow River" in Mongolian.

    It is the source of the Xiliao River, so it is also called Liaoshui and Daliaoshui.

    "Great Khan, you can't go further south!" Darhan advised on the north bank of the Xilamulun River.

    Chahun Dorji pulled the reins, looked at the wide river ahead, and at the boundless army and livestock behind, and said proudly: "The army of more than 100,000 has not fought any tough battles yet, so why should they just disperse like this?  "

    Morgan is also dissuading: "Great Khan, we sent troops this time to conquer the tribes of Horqin. This goal has been achieved, and the Bahrain and Jarut tribes have been conquered. The rest of the tribes must either surrender or flee. Even if  The fleeing tribes, clansmen and livestock were also captured by us. We robbed so many pastures, livestock, people, slaves and food, we should accept it as soon as it is good, why must we go south to provoke the Han people?"

    Darhan said: "Yes, there is no need to fight the Han people again. The most important thing now is how to accommodate those Horqin tribes who surrendered. The hostages should be detained, and the grasslands should be changed. Taiji of Khalkha  We have to lead the army to stay behind to consolidate our rule in the Horqin Grassland. We have expanded too fast in the past few years, and even on the side of Hulunbuir, some tribes still have two hearts."

    The rest of the Khalkha Mongolian leaders also began to persuade them.

    ? They have made a lot of money in this expedition, and the spoils they have grabbed are enough to live comfortably for several years. There is really no need to continue to fight south.  What if there is a big defeat and you can't keep the spoils?

    Chahun Dorji had a resolute expression on his face, but he was calculating carefully in his heart.

    His succession time is too short, and he urgently needs a big victory to establish his supreme authority.  Although he won the fight against Horqin this time, and gained countless gains, the one with the greatest military exploits was none other than Deputy Khan Darhan.

    Many tribal leaders now highly respect Darhan, which made Chahun Dorji vigilant.

    In addition, Darhan captured the noble daughter of Horqin and picked out the two most beautiful women privately, which made Chahun Dorji very dissatisfied.

    He is not for the two women, but thinks that he has been neglected and that his authority has been greatly challenged!  If Darhan sent all the noble ladies to him for distribution, even if Darhan still wanted to pick a few more beauties, he would reward them very generously.

    If you want a woman, I can give it to you, but you can't take it without my consent!

    "The Han people are nothing to be afraid of. If you break the city of the Han people, you can grab more goods and people." Chahun Dorji was determined to go his own way.

    "Khan, please think twice!"

    "Sweat profusely!"

    First, the leader of the big tribe got off his horse, knelt on the ground and tried to persuade him.  Immediately afterwards, many small tribal leaders also knelt down one after another.

    Even Lama Danzhu, who was with the army, shook the wheel and said: "Khan, the month is getting late, and the return to Mobei is a long way away. If you continue to fight south, if the war drags on for a long time, the army may face serious difficulties when returning to Mobei."  snowstorm."

    Chahun Dorji was still riding on the horse, and there were dense crowds kneeling on the ground around him.

    The tribal leaders all had the same idea. They were already satisfied with the robbing and did not want to take the risk of fighting the Han again.

    Chahun Dorji, who threatened to be the Great Khan of all Mongolia, could not even restrain his leader at this moment.  He was full of anger, and wanted to slash a few to death with a knife, but he didn't dare to do it.

    "Forget it, hahahaha!"

    Chahun Dorji laughed loudly, pointed to the south and said, "This year's battle was really fun. Those Han people in the south should be left alone for now, and they will be dealt with severely next year!"

    "Great Khan Shengming!" The leaders of all ministries were overjoyed.

    Immediately afterwards, using the pretext that the Horqin Grassland was not stable, Chahun Dorji announced that the main force must stay.  He asked Darhan and Moergen to send a son each to return to Mobei with part of the army.  While dispersing the strength of the two people, keep the two people by their side to prevent them from causing trouble if they run away.

    Both the Bahrain Left Banner and Right Banner were attacked by Horqin, causing countless casualties.  Therefore, the two parts of Bahrain can get compensation, and some herders, cattle and sheep will be separated from the captives, and they will move to the flatter and more fertile Xilin Gol.

    The people of the Zalut tribe were also raided, and they could share the herdsmen among the captives and obtain the rich territory left by Badali.

    Lama Shixi, who was forced to surrender halfway, can keep his tribe and property, but he must surrender some herdsmen and slaves.  At the same time, the whole family had to migrate to the grassland on the other side of Lianhuan Lake. Although the land was reduced, the grassland was more fertile and could grow wheat.  Changing the grassland in this way is to allow Lama Shixi to occupy the land full of beads and rituals, and completely turn Horqin's various ministries into enemies.Head north towards Kullen.

    "There are Mongolian sentinels ahead!"

    "Try to kill!"

    Wang Tingchen, who ran hundreds of miles to attack the Tartars for meritorious service and was punished for violating military discipline, is now leading the Northeast vanguard to explore the way.  To tell the truth, he was punished at that time, and compensations were gradually given, and Pang Chunlai was also a matchmaker for his son, and married the ministers of the court. Wang Tingchen was already psychologically balanced at this time.

    There were only a few hundred sentry cavalry sent by Khalkha Mongolia in the Kulun area. Facing Datong cavalry ten times their own, they whipped away without saying a word.

    The leader of Khalkha, who was about to take over the Kulun Grassland, evacuated quickly when he heard the news.

    "Khan, bring your gains back to Mobei!"

    On Chahun Dorji's side, the leaders of various ministries started to make trouble again.

    ? They didn't have a firm foothold in the Horqin Grassland, and they were unfamiliar with the place, and they had so many spoils, so they really didn't want to take the risk of fighting again.  There are movements of the Han army in the south, and traces of the Han army in the east. It is reasonable to flee from the west as soon as possible.

    Chahun Dorji said: "Withdrawing the troops back to Mobei now, I have indeed made a fortune, and I can take away countless spoils of war. But if they leave this time, the Han people will take the opportunity to occupy the grassland and surrender to us.  The settlements in Monan and Modong will also betray us and fall to the Han people. Mobei is too cold and barren, and this is a good place. We must fight the Han people. We don’t need a big victory, just beat the Han people back. Then firmly  Occupy this place, and move the tribes here one after another. In less than twenty years, we will be able to reproduce many tribesmen and have more people, livestock and food!"

    "Clang!"

    Chahun Dorji pulled out his waist knife: "If it is not a last resort, this battle must be fought. If we win, Khalkha will grow strong and unite all the Mongolian ministries. If we lose, it will be difficult to go south.  You can only stay in Mobei. Listen to me, gather a large army, and fight the Han people to the death!?

 Text 789【You run away from you, I go away from you】

    Khalkha Mongolia is a typical people who are addicted to vegetables.

    Historically, the Manchu and Qing Dynasties were about to unify China. Khalkha not only plundered in Hulunbuir and Xilin Gol, but even dared to cross the southern Daxing'an Mountains to rob people and livestock in the territory of the Bahrain Ministry.  It's like messing around under Manqing's nose!

    Dorgon was busy attacking Nanming at that time, and had no time to use troops on the grassland, so he could only reprimand and order Khalkha to return the looted humans and animals quickly.  Khalkha obeyed on the surface, donating ten camels and one hundred war horses, but did not mention the looted people and animals.  Man Qing had no choice but to pinch his nose and admit it.

    Afterwards, Shunzhi pro-government, canonized the ministries of Khalkha.

    Khalkha is willing to accept the canonization and surrender to the Manchu Qing, and then the looting should continue to be looted, and the Manchu Qing, the suzerain country, is completely ignored.  It was not until the twenty-seventh year of Kangxi, when Galdan's power rose, and Khalkha was beaten to the brim, that Khalkha Mongols really surrendered to the Qing Dynasty (they were robbed so hard by Galdan that they didn't even have enough food,  came to ask Manqing for food and help).

    "Report!"

    "The main force of Khalkha went north and did not escape from the west!"

    Zhang Tieniu looked at the map carefully, twisted his neck and said, "This is to lure us out, lengthen our army's supply line, and then look for a chance to fight a decisive battle."

    Li Dingguo smiled and said: "He will go his way, and I will go mine. No matter how the Khalkha army pulls north, we will go north slowly, blocking all the passages in the remaining veins of the Daxing'an Mountains. At that time, they will not want to go back to Mobei.  There is a way to go. Just close the door and beat the dog!"

    Zhang Tieniu said: "There are several passages. If they are all blocked, the troops will be divided. It is easy to be broken by the enemy."

    Li Dingguo said: "So don't worry, go north slowly, step by step. While marching, wait for the friendly troops from Liaoning to come and meet. After a long time, the friendly troops from Shanshan and Shanxi will also come."

    "This march is too slow, what if the enemy runs away?" Zhang Tieniu asked.

    Li Dingguo said: "If you want to run away, you will have to wait until now? The leader of Khalkha also wants to fight with us."

    Zhang Tieniu was very puzzled: "The commander of the enemy army, who has grabbed so many things, why did he stay and refuse to leave? He really thought he could defeat our Datong army? Khalkha's strength is not superior, nor is its ordnance and equipment superior, and it is still in Horqin  The grassland is not stable, the time and place are right and people don’t occupy anything, so why should he fight a decisive battle with us? Just because he has more cavalry?”

    Li Dingguo couldn't explain, he could only say: "I don't know either."

    Chahun Dorji was just trying to show off his abilities,

    Rely on the Porcelain Datong Army to enhance your prestige.

    It took time for the Mongolian tribes to gather troops, and it took time for the Han people to go out, especially when they had to transport grain and grass from the south of Yanshan Mountain.

    In Dorji, Chahun, when the Han people mobilize troops and transport enough food, it will already be snowing in the month.  He can completely retreat while fighting, lengthen the supply line of the Han people, wait until the weather is cold, and find an opportunity to eliminate the tired and cold Han soldiers.  Even if the Han soldiers retreated early, he could still say that he had won the battle, thus gaining a firm foothold in the Horqin Grassland.

    "Why hasn't the army from Bahrain arrived yet?"

    On the way to take the initiative to retreat northward, Chahun Dorji was very upset.  It was agreed to act together, but the Bahrain department missed the appointment.

    The left and right banners of the Bahrain Department have been moved to the edge of the Xilin Gol grassland.  A hundred years ago, this was their territory, and it was forced to move eastward by Chahar, and now it was moved back by Chahun Dorji.

    The reason why the Bahrain department missed the appointment was very simple. They encountered the remnants of Horqin who crossed the Xing'an Mountains and detoured south.

    Hong Guoer died of illness on the way, and many soldiers also died in Daxinganling.  There are also a large number of tribal cavalry who did not go with them, but chose to take refuge in Khalkha Mongolia.  Today, there are only more than 6,000 cavalry led by Manzhu Xili, all the way south to the edge of the Xilin Gol grassland.

    "Horqin cavalry appear in the north!"

    "Brother, what should we do?"

    "What else can I do? Run away!"

    The two people who spoke were Sebuteng, the leader of the Balin Right Banner, and Manzhu Xili, the leader of the Balin Left Banner.

    Yes, the leader of the Horqin remnant tribe is called Manzhu Xili, and the leader of the Bahrain Left Banner is also called Manzhu Xili.

    When the two brothers were talking, a Mongolian prince holding a folding fan suddenly said, "Escape is a must. Where should we escape? I think we should seek refuge with the Han people."

    This person's name is Wen Chun, and he is the nephew of Sebuteng and Manzhu Xili.

    Wen Chun has been familiar with Confucian classics since he was a child. According to the order of succession, he should have been in charge of Bahrain Left Banner.  But he voluntarily refused, thinking that since he was young, the power should be handed over to his uncle.

    colorWithout fighting a single battle, Zhang Tieniu's troops increased again by marching two hundred miles northward.

    The equipment of the Bahraini cavalry is so bad that they have no combat effectiveness at all. When assigning tasks, Zhang Tieniu said: "All of you go out to inquire, and you don't need to pester the enemy when you encounter them. As long as you can find out the enemy's situation, you will be considered meritorious."

    Sebuteng said: "General, the warriors of Bahrain can also fight. Please, general, lend the extra armor to our men temporarily."

    Zhang Tieniu raised his hand and said, "No need, you guys should just be sentry riders."

    Manzhu Xili from Horqin said: "Our department can focus on attacking, uu read books <a href="http://www.uukanshu.com" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com</a> must fight bravely  enemy!"

    "Very well, you all will follow me, and you will be useful in wars." Zhang Tieniu acknowledged this. After all, Horqin's people, animals, and property were all taken away by Khalkha, and he will definitely work hard in wars.

    The Datong army continued to march northward slowly. A few days later, the Liaoning friendly army, which was advancing close to the remaining veins of Yanshan Mountain, came to meet up under the leadership of Li Zheng.

    It seems that Zhang Tieniu, Li Zheng and others did not come to chase the enemy.

    Every time a key location is reached, 10,000 people are left to garrison, cut down trees in the mountains to build camps, and dig trenches on all sides to prepare for long-term defense.  They ignored the main force of Khalkha at all, and only wanted to block the Khalkha army so that Chahun Dorji could not lead his army back to Mobei.

    ? Chahun Dorji, who wanted to lure the enemy deep and stretch the supply line of the Datong Army, was enraged by Zhang Tieniu's approach.

    "This is looking down on me, even dividing up the troops along the way. Let them continue to divide the troops, and we will fight back after the division is over! Also, send 10,000 cavalry to detour south to cut off the Han soldiers' food road!".

    &lt;/div&gt

    ,

    If the students of the Nanjing Military Academy were to analyze this military deployment, they would probably score a zero directly.

    Two hundred miles north of Chifeng, 11,000 Datong troops are stationed on the banks of the Xilamulun River.

    Two hundred miles further north, 11,000 Datong troops were stationed on the banks of the Heimulun River.

    Eighty miles further north, 11,000 Datong troops were stationed on the banks of the Wuliji Mulun River.

    Two hundred miles further north, 11,000 Datong troops were stationed on the banks of the Huolin River.

    44,000 troops were scattered out like this.  It is no longer a long snake formation, but four biscuits are spilled, waiting for the Khalkha army to come and eat them one by one.

    If Li Dingguo dared to propose such a military plan, Zhang Tieniu really dared to adopt it and implement it immediately.

    Li Zheng, with a conservative personality, was left speechless when he led his troops to meet up.  He couldn't overthrow Zhang Tieniu's arrangement, so he could only remedy it as much as possible. He personally led two infantry divisions to sit on the other side of the Wuliji Mulun River, so that he could coordinate with other troops. He also asked Wang Tingchen to lead the cavalry division to join forces with Zhang Tieniu.  .

    Zhang Tieniu, Li Dingguo, and Wang Tingchen led the mobile force to continue the pursuit northward.  The Khalkha army is still retreating northward, and they are almost retreating to the main line of the Greater Khingan Mountains.

    However, Gulu Shixi, the younger brother of Chahun Dorji, took 10,000 cavalry and a large number of livestock, and went south to cut off the grain road of the Datong Army.

    When Gulu Shixi detoured from the direction of Tongliao to the Xiliao River, smoke billowed suddenly from the south bank.  Immediately, every few miles, the smoke of the beacon rose, extending westward to the camp of the Datong Army.

    There are only a few dragoons at each beacon point, and after setting off the smoke, they immediately flee on horseback without waiting for the enemy to cross the river to pursue them.  On the river, there are occasional small boats to deliver food to the beacon fire points along the river, and when they see the beacon fire, they quickly row and run away.

    The grain road is further west. When the grain transport team saw the smoke of the war, they withdrew to the nearest Datong military camp.  All the ministries took out all the dragoons as a mobile force to cover the food transport team at any time. If it was too late to retreat, they would gather to fight according to the situation of the war.

    Gulu Shixi did successfully cut off the grain road, but he didn't even touch the shadow of the grain transport team.

    This guy was leading 10,000 Khalkha cavalry, and suddenly he was a little confused, not knowing which way to run.  He could continue to get stuck in the food channel, but he always felt that he would be surrounded because he was too far away from the main force.

    A few days later, 12,000 dragoons from the six divisions gathered in Kailu County, looking for Gulu Shixi everywhere.

    After searching hard for two days, I finally identified the traces on the grassland.

    Jiang Yan, who was born in the Ming Dynasty, looked at the trampled and messy grass, and said depressedly: "This guy is running fast. It seems that he has been away for two or three days. There is no need to chase any more. It is important to go back to cover the camp."

    ? Chahun Dorji, who was farther north, did not want to fight the main force of the Datong Army, so he seized the opportunity and chose to go southward in a detour.  He sent out a partial division to trample the prairie back and forth, leading Zhang Tieniu to pursue it to the northwest.  With the main force, he turned back from the southeast and headed south, preparing to break through the camps of the Datong Army one by one—each camp of the Datong Army blocked his way back to Mobei.

    When detouring to the west of Tongyu County in later generations, wolf smoke was also ignited by the river, exposing it one after another.

    Chahun Dorji sneered: "What's the use of this method? Divide the troops and go south at full speed, harassing every river, let the enemy all light up the smoke, so that the Han army does not know where we are going to attack. Then come back immediately and meet, we will go  Attack the Han army in the direction of Huolinhe!"

    There are several rivers in the north and south, and in the next few days, there will be smoke rising everywhere.

    Li Zheng, who was in the middle to support him, kept receiving similar news, and his mind was almost confused, and he couldn't figure out the real situation of the enemy at all.  He ordered: "Scatter out all the dragoons, each unit should not be too far apart, and must detect the direction of the enemy's main force. Also, quickly go to the north to inform Zhang Dudu (Zhang Tieniu), the main force of Khalkha must be in the south, let us  They're not going to go any further north."

    At the beginning of October in the lunar calendar, the weather suddenly turned cold, and it seemed that there were signs of imminent snowfall.

    The 10,000 cavalry of Gulu Shixi finally joined Chahun Dorji successfully, and the main force of Khalkha suddenly ran wildly along the Huolin River.  Along the banks of the Huolin River, beacon fires were ignited again, clearly becoming the main target of the enemy's attack, but the friendly forces from the north and the south were still two hundred miles away.

    The Datong garrison there will be led by Wang Hui from Hunan, and the deputy will be Huang Fei, a surrendered general of the Ming Dynasty.  Originally there were 11,000 troops, but 2,000 dragoons were dispatched, and now there are only 9,000 left, including more than 10,000 civilian husbands.

    The main force of Chahun Dorji is more than 90,000 people.

    "Before the enemy rescues, step down here quickly!" Chahun Dorji ordered.bsp; The morale of the supervisory team was obviously "boosted", and there were actually more than 2,000 Mongolian soldiers rushing tens of meters outside the trench with the shells on their backs.

    "Tiger crouching gun, reload all bombs!"

    After the reform, the Datong Army was equipped with a lot of tiger squatting guns.  Although most of the dragoons of this division were transferred away, the tiger squatting artillery remained.

    With the sound of cannons, countless small shells were fired.  Iron eggs, lead bullets, and even stones, like celestial maidens scattered flowers, were thrown at the Mongolian soldiers at close range. The smallest cannonballs were even as thick as a thumb.

    "Ah, my legs!"

    "My belly was pierced!"

    "Run!"

    Chahun Dorji looked at the battlefield from a distance, and said dumbfounded: "Why do the Han people have so many artillery pieces? Call Lama Shixi back!"

    He also has artillery, which he bought from the Cossacks.  But only a few guns were bought, and the barrel was only as thick as a calf, so two people could carry them around.  Even so, due to the lack of gunpowder, the small cannons were used sparingly, and they were generally used as secret weapons to deter other tribes.

    Lama Shixi, who was personally supervising the battle, quickly rode back.

    Chahun Dorji asked, "Why do the Han people have so many cannons?"

    Lama Shixi replied helplessly: "Khan, I have already said that the Han people have a lot of artillery, more than the Jurchens. Not only are there artillery, but there are also countless firecrackers, which can be fired from a long distance."

    "Bastard, you only said that there are many artillery pieces, but you didn't say that there are so many!" Chahun Dorji scolded, "Do other Han armies also have so many firearms?"

    Lama Shixi nodded and said, "It's all like this."

    Then what a fart!

    It was only then that Chahun Dorji realized that something was wrong, and called the leaders of the various ministries: "Send all the slaves you have captured to fill the trenches. It only takes two days to fight, and if you can't fight for two days, you will immediately retreat into the mountains!  "

    "Big Khan, many of the slaves robbed from Horqin are Han Chinese who know how to farm" Darhan said.

    Chahun Dorji interrupted: "Shut up, don't care if he knows how to farm, now we are going to fight! ?

 Text 791 [Stable as an old dog]

    "Where are Han people?"

    "No matter who it is, if you want to fill a trench, you will be shot. Give me a blast!"

    Not only Han Chinese slaves, but also Horqin tribesmen were all forced to fill trenches with soil.  Around the Datong military camp, there are dense trench-filling troops everywhere, and it is obviously not enough to pull out all the artillery to bombard.

    In one morning, nearly 2,000 people were killed or injured by the cannon fodder responsible for filling the trenches.

    Many casualties were caused even at the edge of the trench.  They had poured the earth into the trenches, and then they were shot by muskets, fell in large numbers, turned and fled after their morale collapsed.

    Darhan found Chahun Dorji again: "Khan, if you keep filling it like this, you will definitely not be able to capture the enemy camp in two days. According to the report from the soldiers who filled the trench, the Han army poured a lot of iron nails behind the trench (  After the iron nails, many horses and chariots were launched. Even if these are broken, there are still wooden walls of the Han army. In three days at most, the reinforcements of the Han people will definitely arrive.”

    Chahun Dorji hesitated, he already felt that the camp in front of him was very tricky.

    It is mainly a matter of vision. These Khalkha Mongols used to live along the banks of the Haraha River (the border river between Inner Mongolia and Mongolia).  About a hundred years ago, they moved to Mobei one after another. Although they went south several times to plunder, the targets of the robbery were all the Mongolian tribes in Monan. They had not fought against the Han people for nearly a hundred years.

    In Chahun Dorji's established thinking, fighting is nothing more than those few tricks.  Even if they fought against the Manchus, the Manchus would take the initiative to attack every time, and it was impossible to bring too many chariots and chariots to fight in positional warfare.

    This is the first time in the past hundred years that Khalkha Mongolian cavalry has taken the initiative to go south to confront the Han people.

    Trench?  never seen it.

    Artillery?  Firearms?  I've seen it, but never this dense.

    Caltrops?  What is that?

    Even Chahun Dorji had never heard of the chariots that blocked the cavalry.

    If the attack continues like this, even if the Han army camp can be breached, the Han reinforcements will come and surround him.

    Each of the four biscuits thrown out by Zhang Tieniu and Li Dingguo was a bait.  There are nothing more than two purposes, one is to block the enemy's escape to the west, and the other is to hold the enemy back and wait for reinforcements.

    After careful consideration, Chahun Dorji said: "Tomorrow, we will continue to fill in the trenches, leaving some cavalry behind for a feint attack. The rest of the elite main force, as well as the troops in ambush in the mountains, will all go south to intercept and kill the reinforcements of the Han people. All of us  They are cavalry, they cannot fight the camps of the Han people, they should fight the Han people on the open grassland!"

    The southern reinforcements moved slowly, because they were scattered everywhere and needed time to gather.

    Li Zheng couldn't wait for all the troops to assemble, so he only took three divisions of infantry and several divisions of dragoons, and rushed north at a moderate speed.

    This battle is still so cautious, infantry and logistics troops, marching carefully in the middle.  More than 10,000 dragoons spread out in all directions, searching for traces of the enemy everywhere.

    With Li Zheng as the chief general of the reinforcements, he may not be able to rescue in time, but he will definitely not be ambushed.

    About 300 miles northwest of Tongliao in later generations, the pathfinding cavalry of the two armies collided.  There were not many people, there were several hundred each, and the first reaction was to send someone back to report the news, while the rest began to approach cautiously.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The Datong dragoons fired their guns first, then turned around to distance themselves.

    The Khalkha cavalry was shot and fell down more than a dozen people. Shocked and angry, they immediately pursued them.  After chasing for three or four miles, the nearby dragoons came to support when they heard the gunfire, and the Khalkha cavalry fled quickly when they saw this.

    This is an appetizer and can be ignored.

    Both sides found out the approximate location of each other, gathered their forces and gradually approached, and finally met in the territory of Zhalut Banner.

    The terrain here is not flat, the grassland is undulating.  There are many grassy mounds, and occasionally small hills can be seen, but on the whole it is conducive to cavalry charges.

    The reinforcements led by Li Zheng were besieged on a mound.

    The headquarters is located on the mound, and the artillery is distributed on a slightly outer slope, condescending to fire towards the battlefield.  The logistics civilians and civilian staff were all protected in the middle.  The outer periphery is the infantry, besides the infantry there are chariot defense arrays, and outside the chariots are refusal horses and barbed wire.

    Looking at the formation of turtles in front of him, Chahun Dorji had a headache.

    Eighty years ago, Qi Jiguang was ordered to be the commander-in-chief in Jizhen. It was on the original tortoise formation of the Ming army that he massively increased the number of firearms troops, which made the Mongols over there completely lose their temper.  Now, the Datong Army has not only learned it, but also continues to increase the proportion of firearms troops.

    "Khan, are you still fighting?"field.

    "Hiss!"

    The war horse under Gulu Shixi's crotch suddenly let out a mournful cry, but the horse's shoe was pierced by a barbed caltrop.

    The younger brother of Khalkha Khan was slammed into the air by the war horse and landed hard on two barbed thorns.  A barbed thorn pierced his lower back; another barbed thorn pierced the back of his head.

    As soon as the main general died, the army fled immediately.

    It's not a feigned defeat, it's a real collapse.

    The Datong Army defending in the south, however, obeyed Li Zheng's order and stood still and did not pursue at all.

    The Mongolian cavalry on the other sides also paid a heavy price and fled in a panic under the leadership of the general.  In order to perform realistically, tens of thousands of cattle and sheep were thrown near the battlefield - this kind of luring tactic was tried and tested against Mongolian tribes. No tribal leader could resist the temptation of tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

    To be honest, if the leader of the Datong army is replaced by Zhang Tieniu or Huang Yao, there is a great possibility that they will take the risk of chasing and killing them.

    However, they met Li Zheng, a guy who would rather miss the opportunity than lead the army into danger.

    Chahun Dorji led the army to "flee" for several miles, looked back, surprised and angry, and said: "Did the Han soldiers come after us?"

    After stationing in the horse to observe for a long time, he was sure that the Datong army was not pursuing him. Chaghun Dorji gathered the army again and went back to pick up the cattle and sheep he had left behind.

    He sent sentry cavalry closer to observe, and the sentry cavalry came back to report: "Khan, the Han army not only did not pursue, but also dug trenches outside the chariot formation."

    Hearing this, Chahun Dorji was so depressed that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

    It's disgusting enough for you to set up that tortoise array, and you still have to dig ditches on the outside?  Do you want to spend the winter in this shitty place?  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 792 [Frustrated everywhere]

    ,

    Looking at the Datong military flag on the mound in the distance, Chahun Dorji couldn't say a word at this moment.

    The mound is not big, and the area of ??the entire raised area is less than 30,000 square meters, roughly equivalent to four football fields.

    Such a point certainly cannot accommodate tens of thousands of people, not to mention civilian husbands and luggage.  Most of the outer chariot formations and caltrops, including spearmen, musketeers, and grenadiers, are distributed around the mound.

    The artillery is all on the soil slope, and many platforms have been dug and placed, and the shells can fly over the heads of one's own soldiers.

    There are several divisions serving as bait in the south, and each division only has 500 dragoons, and the remaining dragoons are all in the hands of Li Zheng.  Adding the dragoons of the two divisions in Liaoning, the number of cavalry alone was 15,000—among them, 5,000 dragoons followed the main force of the infantry.  The remaining 10,000 dragoons had long since disappeared, not near the battlefield at all.

    ? Li Zhengwen returned to stability, but he not only knows stability, but also understands what it means to "cooperate with integrity and win with odds".

    What are the ten thousand dragoons doing?

    Looking for the Mongols' logistics force!

    Chahundorji conquered many tribes along the way, especially on the Horqin grassland, and captured a large number of people, livestock and food.  In the continuous long-distance turn, it is impossible to bring all the animals, so the marching speed will be too slow.  It is also impossible to leave it alone somewhere, it is very likely that a cavalry escort will be sent, and it will be hidden somewhere at this moment.

    The main force of Khalkha in front of him only brought less than 100,000 cattle and sheep with the army.  The livestock of the various tribes in Horqin must be more than this little, otherwise the Horqin tribe would have starved to death.

    "Khan, the general of the Han army is not easy to deal with." Darhan rode over.

    Chahun Doerji seemed to be talking to himself, and also seemed to be talking to others: "There are tens of thousands of cattle and sheep, and some cattle are pulling carts with a lot of grain. Why don't the Han people chase after them?"  ? With so many livestock and food, how could anyone in the world be able to bear it?"

    Darhan said: "This just shows that the military discipline of the Han army in front of us is terrible."

    And thinking about it differently, Chahun Dorji can fully imagine what would happen to his army if he had been lured just now.

    Perhaps he himself was able to see through the trick and ordered the ministries not to pursue him.  But the tribal leaders under his command may not necessarily obey orders.  To be precise, someone must have disobeyed the order and rushed towards the cattle and sheep with red eyes.  As long as one or two tribes rush out, the rest of the tribes will follow suit, for fear that if they run slowly, they will lose the loot.

    Chahun Dorji's military talent is extremely high. Every time he fights, he will subconsciously think differently: I am the enemy's general, what will I do.  I am an enemy general, what will I do?

    That's why he decided to feign defeat and lure the Datong army to give up their positions and chase after them.

    It never occurred to him that the Han army in front of him was different from his own army!

    Not only are the equipment different, the tactics are different, but even the general's restraint on the troops is also different.

    Morgan also came on horseback and said, "Khan, there is only one way for us to win if the Han soldiers form a chariot formation like this. It is to surround them until they have no water. There is no water source here. They may have enough food, but  They will run out of drinking water in a day or two. After two days, there will be no water, and they will last for another two or three days at most, and they will die of thirst if they are thirsty!"

    Chahun Dorji said aggrievedly: "That would be a trick. The Han people just want to delay the time, and they wish we could surround them. In four or five days, it is enough for the main force of the enemy's cavalry to come after us!"

    Darhan said: "According to reports from sentry cavalry sent out a few days ago, it seems that there are Han reinforcements in the south, and the number is not as large as before. Let's continue to the south to intercept and kill the reinforcements of the Han. After we leave, if here  The Han soldiers followed suit, so it depends on the situation to decide how to fight. If there is an opportunity in the south, go to the south. If there is an opportunity here, come back and fight here.”

    Morgan said: "Yes, we are all cavalry, and there is no need to forcefully attack the Han chariot formation. We Mongolian warriors fight while walking. How can there be any reason to surround them all the time? It is the Han people who fight this kind of positional warfare."  Our strengths are our weaknesses. We can’t use our weaknesses to compare our strengths with the Han people.”

    "Then go further south!" Chahun Dorji said.

    Li Zheng stood on the mound, observed carefully with binoculars, and basically guessed what the enemy was thinking.  This is the last thing he wants to see!

    The enemy is all cavalry, which is difficult to deal with when moving.  Under the constant turning and pulling, the infantry division of the Datong Army is very easy to show its flaws and be caught.

    Li Zheng muttered to himself: "I made a mistake. I shouldn't have transferred the two divisions from the south."

    Li Dingguo's battle plan was very risky, and Zhang Tieniu, who was in charge of making the decision, was also a lunatic.  them"It's another car formation, another car formation!"

    Chahun Dorji was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick. The car formation in front of him was even more interesting. It was next to the Heimulun River, and there was no shortage of drinking water.  And there is no need to defend the side near the river, there are more sufficient troops to defend the chariot formation.

    He believes that the hard attack can be won, but it will take many casualties, and it will take several days.  What he lacks most now is time, for fear that the cavalry division of the Datong Army will come after him.  The cavalry divisions of Zhang Tieniu, Li Dingguo, and Wang Tingchen all have one man and two horses.  One horse was used for riding, and the other horse was used to carry armor. The equipment looked scary from a distance. Chahun Dorji didn't want to fight with the cavalry division of the Datong Army.

    "Khan, the firearm of the Han people."

    This is left behind by the death of the dragoons, a total of 174 flintlock guns.

    Chahun Dorji studied for a while, finally understood how to shoot, and immediately said with emotion: "This is a good blunderbuss, much better than the Raksha ghost's blunderbuss, and there is no need to carry a long matchlock. Han infantry, if  Using this kind of firecrackers, the Mongolian warriors must not charge forward."

    Darhan looked at the chariot formation in front of him, sighed and said, "Khan, go back to Mobei, the Horqin Grassland can't be occupied."

    At the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Li Ling led 5,000 infantry out of Juyan, but was besieged by 80,000 Huns cavalry as his lone army went deep.  Li Ling did not have guns and artillery, so he formed an formation relying on heavy carts, fought with the Huns for eight days with bows and crossbows, shot and killed more than 10,000 Huns cavalry, and was finally captured and surrendered because he ran out of ammunition and food.

    Besides, in history, the Eight Banners Army fought against Zhungeer, and 4,000 Qing troops were besieged by Zhungeer cavalry.  Fu Erdan, the chief general of the Qing army, also formed a chariot formation to resist, and was able to maintain the chariot formation, firing guns all the way to break through the encirclement.  In the end, the chariot formation of the Qing army was defeated because the Zhungeer cavalry had large shotguns, and they could chase after horses and shoot with heavy muskets.  The failure of the chariot formation of the Qing army was not defeated by Zhungeer cavalry, but by Zhungeer's heavy muskets.

    From ancient times to the present, as long as there are elite infantry in formation, it is difficult to forcibly break through purely by cavalry.

    The Xiongnu cavalry won the attack by storm, provided that Li Ling's arrows were exhausted, and more than 10,000 Hun cavalry used their bodies to catch the arrows.

    In front of him was the tortoise array, behind him was Li Zheng, who was even more tortoise, and the Datong Cavalry Division was chasing him further north.

    Chahun Dorji clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to Mobei! ?

 Text 793 [Cavalry decisive battle kicks off]

    The grassland in late autumn is golden yellow as far as the eye can see.

    Batu originally belonged to Horqin Left Middle Banner and was the leader of a small tribe.  After years of fighting, the tribe suffered heavy casualties, and there were only more than 1,000 people left including the elderly, weak, women and children.

    It was almost dark, Batu speeded up his horse secretly, ran to Lama Shixi, and said in a low voice: "Grandpa, the direction is wrong, does Chahun want to escape back to Mobei?"

    Lama Shixi also lowered his voice: "He said he wanted to make a detour to the west."

    "It doesn't look like a detour, but it's more like withdrawing troops," Batu fanned the flames, "Grandpa, Khalkha came from Mobei, and they can leave after patting their buttocks. We, Horqin, have been here for generations.  Live here. Do you follow them to Mobei? After we go, will we share the pasture?"

    Lama Shixi sighed: "Oh, our people, as well as cattle, sheep and food, are all held in Chahun's hands. If you don't follow Chahun, will you leave the people alone?"

    Batu said: "Go back to the Han army tonight and ask the Han army to take back the people and livestock!"

    "Do you know where the tribe is?" Lama Shixi asked.

    Batu said: "I have been paying attention secretly. Although I don't know where it is, it must be in the northwest of here. Chahun sent 3,000 cavalry, carrying livestock and food, to the mountainous area over there."

    Lama Shi Xi kept silent, he actually didn't want to join the Han people.  The entire Horqin Grassland is only his territory, which is the farthest from the border of the Han family.  He finally got rid of Manqing, and now he doesn't want to join anyone.  Even if he voted for Khalkha, it was a helpless move. He was sure that Khalkha would not be able to gain a foothold here, and he had long thought of returning to the tribe and taking the opportunity to escape.

    But Chahundorji has been guarding against him all the time, and took away all the people, livestock, and food, and he doesn't know where he is hiding now.

    Lama Shixi said, "Wait a little longer."

    Batu was very upset, and silently returned to his team, called his son and said, "Pass it down quietly, we are going to leave tonight, and everyone is not allowed to sleep."

    At midnight, the sound of horseshoes sounded.

    Batu led his men and suddenly ran wildly. The Mongolian soldiers nearby were completely confused about what happened, thinking that the Han cavalry had killed them.

    The big camp soon became chaotic, and Batu took the opportunity to lead his troops out.

    There was quite a commotion, but in fact, very few people left, and Batu only had more than 200 horses in his hand.

    However, there are people who think similarly to him!

    After Batu left the Mongolian camp, several small tribes took advantage of the chaos to run away.  Among them, the strongest is Aru Horqin, who has more than a thousand cavalry.

    In the early morning of the next day, people were panic-stricken.

    Chahun Dorji called the leaders of the ministries and said: "Don't worry, those who sneak away at night are cowards. Their clansmen and livestock are all in my hands. If they abandon their compatriots, it means the destruction of the tribe. They have no women, don't they?"  Go back and have a baby with a mare? I already have a perfect plan, and I can tell you now. Before, there were Han troops in the south, north, and west. We can’t stay where we are, or we will be surrounded by the Han army.  "

    "I took the initiative to lead the army to jump out of the encirclement. The Han infantry could not catch up, only the cavalry could catch up. The Han infantry likes to form a chariot formation, but it is really difficult to fight. It is better to throw off the Han infantry and lure the Han cavalry to come over for a decisive battle.  We Mongolian warriors have been riding horses since we were young, so can we still lose to the Han people in horse battles?"

    "The sweat is wise!"

    The leaders of all the ministries flattered in unison. As for what they think in their hearts, only they themselves know

    Zhang Tieniu and Li Dingguo, with three cavalry divisions, did nothing.

    ? In order to detour and attack southward, Chahun Dorji sent more than 3,000 weak cavalry to step on the grassland repeatedly along the way, luring the cavalry division to run northwest.  These unlucky ones responsible for the lure had already been eaten by Zhang Tieniu, and then quickly turned around and headed south.

    Near Wang Hui's camp, Zhang Tieniu received a message from Li Zheng.

    Zhang Tieniu was speechless: "Old Li transferred his troops away, and wanted to cooperate with us to encircle and wipe out the main force of the enemy army. The enemy ran too fast, and before we came, they abandoned this camp. Now the encirclement is impossible, the south  There are several openings in the mountain area, and the enemy can escape from wherever they want to drill."

    Although Li Dingguo was helpless about this, he could not blame Li Zheng. After all, the battlefield was changing rapidly, and Li Zheng mobilized his troops for a reason.

    Moreover, even if it is not mobilized, it can only delay the speed of the enemy's escape, and it is impossible to completely block the passage.

    Jiang Yu said: "Chahun has robbed too many things in Horqin. Unless they throw away the spoils, they won't be able to escape quickly. They made a detour to the southbsp; On the side of the Datong Army, there are about 76,000 cavalry, of which more than 10,000 are Mongolian cavalry who have defected.  Food and grass are running out, people are exhausted and horses are exhausted.

    "The whole army puts on armor, dismounts and rests!"

    People are wearing armor, and horses are resting. The horses are too tired after chasing them all the way.  Not only to rest, but also to lose no time in feeding the horse with salt water.

    Chahun Dorji was very angry, and drew his sword and said: "These Han people are too bullying. I have given up enough face by abandoning so many humans and animals, and I have chased them all the way here. All ministries obey orders and prepare to fight!"

    Darhan led the troops and went around to the northwest side of the battlefield.  If the battle goes well, he will fight desperately.  If the battle didn't go well, he would immediately flee with his men and leave Chahun Dorji behind.

    Darhan is not his name, but a Mongolian noble title.

    It can be called "Darhan Khan" or "Darhan Nuoyan". His real name is Bental.

    In another time and space, in the spring of next year, Bentar and Chahun Dorji fell out.  His followers were killed to only a thousand households, and even his wife and children were robbed. He took his three younger brothers and a nephew with him, and ran all the way south to seek refuge with Emperor Shunzhi. He was named "Prince Darhan" by the Qing court.  .

    ? For Darhan (Bentar), if he wins this battle, he can return to Mobei with the spoils.  If he fails in this battle, he will be the first to escape. As long as he escapes faster than Chahun Dorji, he will be able to return to Mobei ahead of time and annex Chahun Nasi's tribe.

    Morgan's thoughts are similar: fight if you can, and run if you can't!

    Mergen is also a title, that is, Mergen Khan and Mergen Nuoyan, whose real name is Anggahai, and in terms of seniority, he is Chahundorji's cousin.

    The Khalkha army, which has superior military strength and sufficient food and grass, has not really started fighting, but some people are already thinking about running away.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 794 [Disruption with randomness]

    The two armies have a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and the Datong army even has one man and two horses.  Many of the Khalkha cavalry also brought two horses, many of which came from looting.

    In addition, there are more than 100,000 livestock.

    Originally, there were more livestock, but some were thrown out when they made a detour to the north, luring Zhang Tieniu to go north.  When the troops were withdrawing, they threw some more, and continued to confuse the slow Datong army.  I have been consuming and eating a lot along the way.  There were still some who got lost on the way, and they were in a hurry to withdraw and didn't bother to find them back.

    So many soldiers, war horses, and livestock are scattered on the battlefield endlessly.

    Both sides were forming troops, Fei Ruhe rushed to Zhang Tieniu: "I have never commanded so many cavalry in battle, and I have not brought a hot air balloon, so I can't see the overall situation of the battlefield clearly."

    "I haven't directed before." Zhang Tieniu said.

    Fei Ruhe said: "I used to study military books and formation diagrams, and I have learned the cavalry tactics of the past dynasties. But at this time, commanding in front of the battle is not the case at all. I am afraid that I will make a mistake in command. This battle, you do it.  The coach, or am I the coach?"

    "You can be the coach." Zhang Tieniu didn't fight because he also lacked relevant experience.

    Fei Ruhe said: "I returned to Beijing to report on my duties half a year ago. Every night I read military books, and I also specially read related history books. The Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu fought against Mobei. The Han army dispatched more than 100,000 soldiers and more than 200,000 horses.  Wei Qing and Huo Qubing's soldiers marched in two directions, and more than 90,000 Huns' troops were wiped out. At that time, Wei Qing led the chariots and formed a chariot formation to stabilize the main formation.  Knowing how to run long distances, killed more than 70,000 enemy troops, and obtained most of the results alone"

    Zhang Tieniu felt that these were all nonsense, so he interrupted: "Let's talk about how to fight first."

    Fei Ruhe said: "All the Xiao cavalry are arranged to serve as the central army, and the dragoons are sent out to outflank and harass. The Mongolian cavalry from Chahar, Horqin, and Bahrain are also responsible for the outer harassing. Keep the distance between the Khalkha ministries as far as possible and give the Xiao cavalry  The soldiers created an opportunity to directly attack the enemy's commander. The leaders of Khalkha's tribes are not necessarily united. There are also other tribal armies, some of which were forced to go out, and they are not of one mind with Khalkha. Dragoons and tribal cavalry, scattered  Go to the periphery to fight in melee. The more chaotic the better, when it is really chaotic, the enemy troops will not fight to the death to protect each other, they must find ways to preserve their strength. When the whole battlefield is chaotic, our Fang Xiao cavalry can launch a decisive charge."

    After a lot of talk, Zhang Tieniu concluded: "You mean, if you are unable to control the battlefield, then you simply can't control it. Throw out all the dragoons and Mongolian cavalry to fight. If you want to mess with everyone, let's  Chaos, the enemy is also in chaos, the commanders of both sides can't command. Then our Fang Xiao cavalry took advantage of the chaos to charge?"

    "Yes!" Fei Ruhe said.

    Zhang Tieniu turned around and asked the general: "What do you think?"

    Wang Tingchen said with a smile: "This is very good."

    Li Dingguo said: "Fei Dudu's clever plan, there is no better way to play than this."

    What formation, what tactics, all go to one side.

    Fei Ruhe is not capable of commanding large-scale cavalry operations, so don't think about how to command.  Mess up the enemy's troops, bring the enemy's command ability to the same level as your own, and then defeat them with rich experience in chaotic warfare!

    This style of play actually tests the basic quality of the army.

    Everyone is in chaos, and whoever has better basic military literacy will have a better chance of winning.  What's more, the Datong Army is a whole, and it will try its best to support it when it becomes chaotic.  Khalkha is a mess, and when it gets chaotic, they fight on their own, and even betray their allies.

    On Chahundorji's side, troops are also forming formations.

    The main force of his own headquarters is naturally placed in the Chinese army.  Darhan Nuoyan, Moergen Nuoyan, Dalai Nuoyan, Kundu Lunuoyan and other leaders each led their troops to the two wings.  The rest of the small tribes were scattered further outside to fight.

    I don't know when the battle started, and both sides started to move.

    Including the dragoons of the four cavalry divisions, together with the dragoons of the infantry divisions, there were a total of more than 20,000 soldiers and horses. With the cavalry of Chahar, Horqin, and Bahrain, they successively carried out large-scale outflanking.  The one who ran the farthest even outflanked the center of the battlefield three or four miles away, and the enemy general Chahun Dorji couldn't see the situation clearly at all.

    Cao Bianjiao, who was originally sent to receive Li Zicheng's troops, also went out with Fei Ruhe because of the temporary battle.

    More than 5,000 dragoons led by Cao Bianjiao rushed to the enemy's left flank first.  More than 5,000 dragoons were divided into three teams.  The first team of more than a thousand people went straight to the front of "Kundu Lunuoyan" Tumonken.

    Tumonken led his troops to fight. The distance between the two armies was about 100 meters. The thousand-odd dragoons began to slow down.

    At about seventy or eighty meters, Cao Bianjiao blew a short command.

    "Bang bang bang bang!After a while, Zhang Tieniu put down his binoculars and began to unleash fifteen thousand melee cavalry troops.

    Chahun Doerji felt that his opportunity had come, and said to "Zhasak Tuhan" Wangshuke: "You take your brothers to meet and lure these enemy cavalry to the two sides, and I will lead the main force to go straight to the opponent's coach!  "

    The main forces of both sides have finally been dispatched.

    The sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, and the entire grassland seemed to be shaking.

    "Hiss!"

    Maybe it was summoned by some kind of spirit, the BMW under Fei Ruhe's crotch suddenly raised its premise, trying to rush out with its master on its back.

    "Yi cavalry steps forward, Xiao cavalry prepares!"

    After Fei Ruhe gave an order, nearly 10,000 cavalrymen formed a compact formation, and very slowly divided into three teams to move forward.

    "Yi Cavalry" is the name Zhao Han took, specializing in training wall charges.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 795 [Decisive Charge]

    Wang Fuchen, that unlucky guy, was thrown directly to the Heilongjiang River Basin because he had fought with the Cossacks.

    With 500 cavalry and 1,000 infantry, he was stationed at the confluence of Heilongjiang and Songhua River.  Those thousand infantrymen, even new recruits, would be dragged out to fight the Cossacks after training.

    Although there are not many soldiers, his military rank is very high. He is directly a "major general" and is also in charge of civil affairs along the Heilongjiang River.

    Luo Yuheng, who took over the position of Wang Fuchen, was a fierce man who was born in Jiangsu martial arts. He once killed Man Dahai's son Leng Saiyi with a mace.

    Wang Tingchen, the commander of the Liaoning cavalry division, rushed to the left flank with 3,000 cavalry, as if he wanted to rescue a besieged dragoon.  The second younger brother of "Zhasak Tuhan" Wangshuk, led the army to fight with Wang Tingchen.

    Luo Yuheng was so lucky that he was actually facing Zasaktuhan himself.

    The two sides shot bows and arrows at each other, moving towards the battlefield on the right in a very tacit understanding.  Relying on the large number of soldiers, Wangshuke shot two arrows, and then led the troops to charge, and sent another thousand cavalry to circle around Luo Yuheng's side.

    Regardless of the enemies on the side, Luo Yuheng raised his iron mace and charged to the death.

    The mixed-blood war horse under its crotch galloped wildly, getting closer and closer to the enemy.  Luo Yuheng took out the drawn hand crossbow and shot at the enemy in front of him, but unfortunately, the shot hit the opponent's armor and did not cause fatal damage.

    "Hey!"

    A mace swung out and hit the Khalkha cavalryman's chest, and the chain mail on the opponent's chest was obviously dented.

    "Pfft!"

    There was no visible trauma at all, but the Khalkha cavalry spewed blood, as if all his strength had been exhausted, he could not hold the weapon with his right hand, and let go of the reins with his left hand.

    The Khalkha cavalry next to him stabbed with a single shot.

    Luo Yuheng leaned over to dodge, the spear tip pierced the armor of the neck guard, and slid to the outside along the armor.  He got up quickly, and smashed out another mace, hitting another enemy's weapon in front of him.  The cavalry was knocked out of his scimitar, and was stabbed to death by the following Datong cavalry.

    "Protect the Khan!"

    Seeing Luo Yuheng rushing towards him, Wangshuke's personal guards exclaimed loudly, and immediately came over with two riders trying to stop him.

    At this time, the charging speed has slowed down, and they are all loose formations of traditional cavalry. Datong cavalry and Khalkha cavalry are fighting together.  Luo Yuheng smashed the arm of a Mongolian guard, and he was stabbed in the left chest, but the armor protected him without even a flesh injury.

    "Crack!"

    Luo Yuheng smashed Wangshuke's spear unexpectedly.

    This guy is one of the three khans of Khalkha, and he doesn't pay much attention to Chahun Dorji, but at this moment, Luo Yuheng is so frightened that his vest feels cold.  He asked his personal guards to block the enemy, and passed dangerously through the formation, no longer thinking about fighting, and galloped towards the edge of the battlefield.

    He is going to flee back to Mobei, and never come to Monan again!

    More than half of the cavalry under Wangshuk's command are still fighting, and they don't even know that their khan has escaped.

    ? On another battlefield, Wang Yaochen, Chief Propaganda Officer of the Liaoning Cavalry Division, led the troops to charge well, but the horse lost his balance when he stepped on the corpse.  He fell down with the horse, and the horse got up quickly, but Wang Yaochen was stepped on the arm, and was stepped on by his own cavalry

    "Mr. Protect!"

    Mr. is the honorific title for the mission officer in the military.

    Fortunately, the horses were not fast during the melee of the cavalry, and the Datong cavalry around them fought bravely, and the subordinates helped Wang Yaochen, who had a broken right arm, onto the horse again.

    "Kill the enemy and serve the country, leave me alone!"

    Wang Yaochen was sweating profusely from the pain. He had a broken right arm and was unable to fight. He could only hold the reins and continue to charge forward surrounded by his subordinates.

    After such a delay, the Datong cavalry began to be at a disadvantage.

    In order to protect Wang Yaochen, a cavalry regiment commander died. This is the highest-ranking general of the Datong Army killed so far in this battle.

    "Boom!"

    Chahun Dorji personally led the main cavalry and rushed directly towards Fei Ruhe's Chinese army.

    Of course, after moving forward for a certain distance, Chahun Dorji stopped and let his younger brother Dunduobu lead the charge instead of him.

    On the side of the Datong Army, Fei Ruhe did not come in person either.

    Zhang Tieniu didn't care so much, anyway, Fei Ruhe became the interim coach.  This guy has been in Hebei for several years and has been practicing his riding skills hard, and now he can finally come in handy.

    Zhang Tieniu personally led the Yi cavalry, advanced slowly, and then accelerated slowly.

    The two sides were getting closer and closer, and Chahun Dorji, who was parked behind, quickly saw something was wrong: "Why are those cavalry of the Han people so close together? How can the two armies confront each other without leaving a gap?  Are you here to die?"

    The wall charge of nearly ten thousand cavalrysp; The horse let out a mournful cry, accelerated forward and collided with the dragoon's war horse.

    Even with the man and the horse, Chahun Dorji fell down.  The rear guards did not brake in time, and the horse's hoof stomped hard on Chahun Dorji's chest.

    Li Dingguo, who had already rushed in front of him, looked at the body of the enemy coach, and suddenly he was a little speechless.

    "Chasing and killing the enemy!"

    Without the credit for breaking the formation, Li Dingguo vented his anger on those Khalkha defeated soldiers.

    The whole army chased for more than a hundred miles, and then retreated one after another.

    It's not that I don't want to chase, but before the war, the Datong Army was exhausted because of the long-distance pursuit.  Afterwards, they fought fiercely for a long time, and the horses had reached their limit, and the forced pursuit would definitely exhaust the horses to death.

    In this battle, more than 47,000 enemies were killed, more than 8,000 enemy soldiers were captured, and countless people, livestock, and food were captured.  Those Khalkha cavalrymen who escaped were not feeling well, because it was about to snow, and they didn't know how many people were frozen to death on the way.  And there was no food, and many people had to starve to death along the way.

    Our own casualties were also quickly counted: 3,251 Datong troops were killed, 704 were seriously injured, and 5,633 were slightly injured.  Two regiment leaders were killed.  Wang Yaochen, chief missionary officer of the Liaoning Cavalry Division, had his right elbow broken by being trampled on, and he will definitely not be able to fight again in the future.

    In addition, among the Mongolian cavalry who followed the Datong Army, the Chahar tribes suffered more than 3,000 casualties, the Bahrain tribes suffered hundreds of casualties (the patriarch died in battle), and the Horqin tribes suffered more than 2,000 casualties.

    "Bring Lama Shixi here!" Fei Ruhe was furious.

    "General, please spare me!"

    Lama Shixi snotted and burst into tears, and was dragged and howled by the Datong soldiers.

    Fei Ruhe gritted his teeth and said, "You first took refuge in Khalkha, and I allowed you to commit crimes and meritorious deeds, which is already a great forgiveness. When the two armies were in a decisive battle, your troops went away with one blow, and only dozens of people died.  Fleeing from the battlefield for several miles, hundreds of nearby dragoons died! Someone, cut him down!"

    With one blow, the head fell to the ground.

    The leaders of the various Mongolian tribes yelled at this and felt that this person deserved to die.  I fought bloody battles (in fact, I was also paddling), so why are you hiding?  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 796 [Sandu Protectorate]

    It was already winter when the good news from the grassland was sent to the south.

    The Yangtze River is frozen!

    It's not completely frozen, there is an ice floe in the east and an ice floe in the west.  Some places seem to be completely frozen, and if people stand on it and walk a few steps, the ice surface will be cracked.

    ?Governments along the river are organizing official ships and civilian ships to clear the ice floes in the middle of the river and forcibly knock out a passage for boats.

    The Little Ice Age did not disappear with Daming, and the real cold winter has just begun.  At least during the reign of Chongzhen, the Yangtze River did not freeze.  In the next 15 years, there will be four years of freezing of the Yangtze River.

    In addition, the Hanshui River has also been frozen this year, so you can race horses on the ice!

    Those Khalkha cavalry who fled back to Mobei encountered a snowstorm on the way, and more than 10,000 horses froze to death.

    Facing the cold winter, Zhao Han also put on furs and began to review the snow disaster memorials sent from various places.  The temperature dropped so fast that the common people didn't have time to react when the cold snap hit overnight, and many people died of freezing or got sick from frostbite.

    Even a prince and two princesses caught a cold while living in the Forbidden City.

    "Your Majesty, a great victory in Monan!"

    The cabinet, the Ministry of War, the Governor's Mansion, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor all came to tell the good news.

    After carefully reading the victory documents, Zhao Han finally showed a smile: "Well done, the cabinet, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Etiquette, discuss together how to award and reward meritorious service.  Give them the title of Shangzhu Kingdom. Fei Ruhe, plus Taifu (the first rank), and the prince Taibao (from the first rank). Zhang Mingshan, plus the Taibao (the first rank), and the prince Taibao. In addition, both of them are crowned with one British,  Reward his wife with an imperial order. As for granting gold, obedience, and land, you can discuss these."

    With such great military exploits, Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu were not promoted to titles.  It seems mean and ungrateful, but it really doesn't count, because the weight of "Shangzhu Kingdom" is too heavy.

    In the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there were only a few "Shangzhu Kingdoms".

    Li Shanchang, Xu Da, and Chang Yuchun belonged to the Shangzhu Kingdom, but they were all taken back after their death and changed to the next-level "Zuozhu Kingdom".

    Xia Yan became the Shangzhu Kingdom and was extremely honored for a while, but he was also deprived of his title.

    Yan Song was granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, so he quickly declined in fright, saying that Xia Yan was unlucky because of this title.  How can a minister be called "superior"?

    Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng were entrusted to the Zhu Kingdom, and they also chose to decline, not daring to accept it at all.  However, after Zhang Juzheng's death, he was posthumously granted the title of Shangzhu Kingdom, and then deprived of it, and was restored by another emperor.

    Therefore, excluding those whose titles were taken back, in the entire Ming Dynasty, there was one and only Zhang Juzheng "Shangzhu Kingdom".

    Although this thing is a false title, it is much rarer than a title!

    By the way, Zhang Yunxiu, the fifth son of Zhang Juzheng, was forced to become an official by Zhang Xianzhong, just like in history.  Zhang Yunxiu refused and chose to commit suicide. He was almost 80 years old at the time.

    Zhang Tongchang, Zhang Juzheng's great-grandson, did not die heroically for resisting the Qing Dynasty.  This gentleman is loyal to Ming Dynasty and refused to be an official in the court of Datong. Now he is living in the countryside of Jiangling as a teacher.  A serious elementary school teacher has a salary and a salary, but he insists that a teacher is not an official.  What he took was not the salary of the new dynasty, but the Shuxiu that he deserved as a teacher.

    Among all the descendants of Zhang Juzheng, two are currently officials, one is a magistrate, and the other is only a county magistrate.

    Song Yingxing said: "Fei Dudu requested that the Mongolian leaders who made contributions in this battle be given surnames and names, and I think it is feasible."

    The reason why Fei Ruhe asked to reward the Mongolian leader with his name is actually very simple.  He felt that Mongolian surnames were too awkward to pronounce, and there were too many duplicate names. For example, there were two in Manzhu Xili, and they would be confused if they were not careful.

    However, Song Yingxing had other ideas. In the prosperous Han and Tang Dynasties, they often gave surnames to the leaders of different races. Why can't I, the Datong Dynasty, do it?  Moreover, giving Han surnames is conducive to the assimilation of foreign races.  Mongolia does not edit history books, as long as they change their surnames to Han, the Golden Family will gradually fade away after a hundred years.

    Zhao Han also thought it was feasible, so he said to Wang Tiaoding, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, "Choose from a hundred surnames Forget it, let's all be named Zhao. The Mongolian leaders probably don't like ordinary surnames, so let them have the same surname as the royal family. The Ministry of Rites  We are discussing to get some names, and the daily report will come up in a few days, and after the beginning of spring, we will send envoys to the grassland to reward the names."

    After the Han Dynasty, a bunch of leaders of the Southern Xiongnu were surnamed Liu, and there were even hard-core "smart men" like Liu Yuan.  Although Liu Yuan was from the Huns, in the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, he can definitely be called a benevolent monarch, even more benevolent than most Han emperors.

    Now Zhao Han has decided to grant a surname. As long as the authority of the Datong court is still there, from now on, the leaders of the Mongolian tribes in Monan will be surnamed Zhao from generation to generation.

    Maybe someday, there will be a few more.As soon as he changed, he immediately became taller, and he also had the style of catching up with Han and Tang.

    Of course, the details are different, not just a name change.

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others have discussed repeatedly, and the Governor's Mansion also strongly suggested that the military command of the governor should be restored. This time, Li Zheng, the governor of Heilongjiang, also temporarily restored the command of the military. It is estimated that there will be many wars in the future, and it is not possible to  The second time must be authorized by the imperial court. If your majesty is worried about the story of the Tang Dynasty Jiedushi, you can hand over the civil affairs and power of the Duhufu to the Changshi. The Changshi is a civil servant who controls financial power and civil rights.  In order to follow the second grade, the rank is higher than that of the right ministers of the provinces."

    Zhao Han pondered over and over, nodded and said, "Yes."

    Song Yingxing suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the functions of the left and right ministers of each province overlap quite a bit. After discussing with the cabinet ministers, please set up two right ministers in each province to take charge of the affairs of the various departments in the province."

    In other words, a left chief envoy is equivalent to the (that) governor of the province.  The two right chief envoys are equivalent to the (that) deputy governor in charge.

    Zhao Han said: "We can solicit the opinions of the chief envoys of the provinces on this matter, and we can discuss it after summarizing."

    Zhao Han also said: "The Protectorate of Andong, the administrative office can be moved to the confluence of Heilongjiang and Songhua River (Tongjiang). But don't worry now, it is too far away, and we have to stay in the current residence (Harbin) for the time being.  .Wang Fuchen has already stationed there with 1,500 soldiers. In recent years, many criminals have been exiled. Although they are exiled criminals, they must not be abused.  Indigenous women are wives. At least five years later, they can move to the residence of the Andong Protectorate. As for the construction of Heishui City, it has to be done slowly, because the population there is sparsely populated and cannot withstand the toss of building a city."

    "Your Majesty is wise!" All the ministers shouted.

    Zhao Han smiled and said, "Let's go."

    The ministers of the cabinet department left happily, although Zhao Han cleaned up the Tianzheng and the officialdom, and put the Beijing officials in danger.  But combating corruption is one thing, and expanding territory is another.

    Duhufu, and set up three in one go.

    These important cabinet ministers were quite excited, dreaming that they would assist the Holy King and restore the distant and glorious Han and Tang Dynasties.  In the future, it would be best to restore the Anxi Protectorate and take back the Western Regions. These important ministers will surely be able to leave their names in history.

    Who said military generals only want to open up borders?

    Civil servants also want to!

    (Check place names, check information, this chapter is very tiring, and there is only one update today.) &lt;/div&gt

    Shi Yu stared at the small TV quietly, and now there is the last show.

    ? Yin Zhengfan v Ji Ke.

    Ji Ke is the seed candidate who is dressed in a strange costume, which is similar to martial arts costumes.

    Her strength is also good, and the two beasts follow the technical flow. For example, her water blade praying mantis uses the water cutting move as the core to create a fancy knife technique. Unfortunately, she met Yin Zhengfan.

    "Although the technical flow is good, it must be supported by strength."

    After watching the battle, Shi Yu felt that he was really handsome under the same combat power, but he was immediately blinded when he met a master.

    Let Eleven use the continuous thunder palm to hit a set of gorgeous and fancy palms, it is far better to directly multiply + thunder palm to hit the past with a full blow, which is simpler and less troublesome.

    "That thunder cloud elf will startle the thunder, and this mane rock monster will deter. It's not easy to deal with."

    Eleven and Chongchong ate in silence, not wanting to hear Versailles, the master of beasts.

    It's not easy to do it, it's not easy to do it.

    "Fortunately, Yin Zhengfan didn't contract too many beasts——"

    Shi Yu got up and moved his body. Yin Zhengfan has the talent to strengthen the beast master space. In theory, he can contract four pet beasts now. However, because he has become a beast master for too short a time, he can't cultivate them. So far, he has only contracted two.

    If his contract is full, Shi Yu and the others will be under a lot of pressure.

    "I'm going to order a box lunch." Shi Yu said to Eleven and Chongchong.

    Although I have eaten a bunch of snacks and supplements in the house, it is still time to have lunch.

    On the other end of the phone was Lin Xiuzhu's excited tone.

    Shi Yu smiled slightly, although he already knew, he still said: "Really?"

    "Well, look at the time, it will be announced on Donghuang.com at 13:00 pm!"

    Donghuang.com, the official media of the ancient country of Donghuang, is the most formal information website.

    Shi Yu glanced at the time, it is currently 12:30, that is to say, half an hour later?

    At the same time, it happened to be the beginning of the first session of the afternoon assessment.

    Audience including Yu Shu:?  ?  ?

    "Duddu——" the distorted master's face darkened, and he immediately blew his whistle to signal the start of the game.

    Don't chat, don't chat, call now!

    This is a professional assessment, not for you to talk about cross talk!

    When the whistle sounded, both Zhang Qianyi and Shi Yu immediately summoned the beast.

    Zhang Qianyi's summoning pattern appeared in the sky, and Shi Yu's summoning pattern appeared on the ground.

    The figures of thunder cloud elves, fire elves, and wind elves, as well as the figures of small iron beasts and green cotton worms, appeared in the arena in an instant!

    Boom!  !  !

    The moment it appeared, the Thunder Cloud Elf, who was like a black thunder cloud, activated the thundering skill, and the lightning surged inside!

    The deafening sound immediately spread throughout the venue, causing many examiners to cover their ears and tremble in their hearts.

    However, the main deterrent object of this sound is the little iron-eating beast standing on the ring and the green cotton worm on its head!

    At this moment, with a "bang", rain clouds immediately appeared above the venue, rainp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;

    The substantive aura is shocking, causing the raindrops to distort and disappear in the air. At this time, the deterrent collision of the three elves on the field, even the examiners who are outside the field, can clearly feel It is extremely terrifying!

    There was a "bang", as if the air collided with each other, and the entire arena was wrapped in two huge auras. When the auras collided, lightning flashed and thunder thundered in mid-air. However, after a moment of collision, the deterrent power of thunder soon  After being quickly suppressed, Zhang Qianyi's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't expect the Thunder Cloud Spirit's thunder to defeat the threat of the little iron-eating beast. As long as he could resist, it would be considered a victory.

    Their killer moves are yet to come!

    Boom!  !  !

    After the thunderstorm, following the thunderstorm, a thick thunderbolt crashed down with the sound of thunder.

    Strengthened by Prayer for Rain and Shocking Thunder, the power of this high-level thunder skill has reached its maximum. At this moment, a thunder column several meters thick descends, and Eleven shows an excited expression, causing Chong Chong to stare and jump away.  On Eleven——

Gaotai, Yin Chuanqi said silently, otherwise, this iron-eating beast wants to catch the movement of lightning and the weak spot of energy so easily, and cut it smoothly, it would be impossible.  It's not that easy.

    This move is no longer simply a perfect level thunder palm, but a profound technique composed of perfect level thunder palm and super vision, which can allow the little iron-eating beast to perfectly control the lightning-stimulated lightning-fast profound technique!

    Shi Yu stared at the small TV quietly, and now there is the last show.

    ? Yin Zhengfan v Ji Ke.

    Ji Ke is the seed candidate who is dressed in a strange costume, which is similar to martial arts costumes.

    Her strength is also good, and the two beasts follow the technical flow. For example, her water blade praying mantis uses the water cutting move as the core to create a fancy knife technique. Unfortunately, she met Yin Zhengfan.

    "Although the technical flow is good, it must be supported by strength."

    After watching the battle, Shi Yu felt that he was really handsome under the same combat power, but he was immediately blinded when he met a master.

    Let Eleven use the continuous thunder palm to hit a set of gorgeous and fancy palms, it is far better to directly multiply + thunder palm to hit the past with a full blow, which is simpler and less troublesome.

    "That thunder cloud elf will startle the thunder, and this mane rock monster will deter. It's not easy to deal with."

    Eleven and Chongchong ate in silence, not wanting to hear Versailles, the master of beasts.

    It's not easy to do it, it's not easy to do it.

    "Fortunately, Yin Zhengfan didn't contract too many beasts——"

    Shi Yu got up and moved his body. Yin Zhengfan has the talent to strengthen the beast master space. In theory, he can contract four pet beasts now. However, because he has become a beast master for too short a time, he can't cultivate them. So far, he has only contracted two.

    If his contract is full, Shi Yu and the others will be under a lot of pressure.

    "I'm going to order a box lunch." Shi Yu said to Eleven and Chongchong.

    Although I have eaten a bunch of snacks and supplements in the house, it is still time to have lunch.

    On the other end of the phone was Lin Xiuzhu's excited tone.

    Shi Yu smiled slightly, although he already knew, he still said: "Really?"

    "Well, look at the time, it will be announced on Donghuang.com at 13:00 pm!"

    Donghuang.com, the official media of the ancient country of Donghuang, is the most formal information website.

    Shi Yu glanced at the time, it is currently 12:30, that is to say, half an hour later?

    At the same time, it happened to be the beginning of the first session of the afternoon assessment.

    He v Zhang Qianyi.

    "look forward to……"

    Shi Yu looked at the time and said.

    "Then I have to show off my skills, and after the battle, I will put up an advertisement on the spot"

    Master of Distortion: ?  ?  ?

    Audience including Yu Shu:?  ?  ?

    "Duddu——" the distorted master's face darkened, and he immediately blew his whistle to signal the start of the game.

    Don't chat, don't chat, call now!

    This is a professional assessment, not for you to talk about cross talk!

    When the whistle sounded, both Zhang Qianyi and Shi Yu immediately summoned the beast.

    Zhang Qianyi's summoning pattern appeared in the sky, and Shi Yu's summoning pattern appeared on the ground.

    The figures of thunder cloud elves, fire elves, and wind elves, as well as the figures of small iron beasts and green cotton worms, appeared in the arena in an instant!

    Boom!  !  !

    The moment it appeared, the Thunder Cloud Elf, who was like a black thunder cloud, activated the thundering skill, and the lightning surged inside!

    The deafening sound immediately spread throughout the venue, causing many examiners to cover their ears and tremble in their hearts.

    However, the main deterrent object of this sound is the little iron-eating beast standing on the ring and the green cotton worm on its head!

    At this moment, with a "bang", rain clouds immediately appeared above the venue, rainp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;

    The substantive aura is shocking, causing the raindrops to distort and disappear in the air. At this time, the deterrent collision of the three elves on the field, even the examiners who are outside the field, can clearly feel It is extremely terrifying!

    There was a "bang", as if the air collided with each other, and the entire arena was wrapped in two huge auras. When the auras collided, lightning flashed and thunder thundered in mid-air. However, after a moment of collision, the deterrent power of thunder soon  After being quickly suppressed, Zhang Qianyi's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't expect the Thunder Cloud Spirit's thunder to defeat the threat of the little iron-eating beast. As long as he could resist, it would be considered a victory.

    Their killer moves are yet to come!

    Boom!  !  !

    After the thunderstorm, following the thunderstorm, a thick thunderbolt crashed down with the sound of thunder.

    Strengthened by Prayer for Rain and Shocking Thunder, the power of this high-level thunder skill has reached its maximum. At this moment, a thunder column several meters thick descends, and Eleven shows an excited expression, causing Chong Chong to stare and jump away.  On Eleven——

    "Leiqie." Shi Yu said at the edge of the ring, holding an umbrella.

    "Aww!!"

    Hearing Shi Yu's order, Eleven roared, and strong mouths began to appear in both palms, this, this is okay?  ?  ?

    Audience including Yu Shu:?  ?  ?

    "Duddu——" the distorted master's face darkened, and he immediately blew his whistle to signal the start of the game.

    Don't chat, don't chat, call now!

    This is a professional assessment, not for you to talk about cross talk!

    When the whistle sounded, both Zhang Qianyi and Shi Yu immediately summoned the beast.

    Zhang Qianyi's summoning pattern appeared in the sky, and Shi Yu's summoning pattern appeared on the ground.

    The figures of thunder cloud elves, fire elves, and wind elves, as well as the figures of small iron beasts and green cotton worms, appeared in the arena in an instant!

    Boom!  !  !

    The moment it appeared, the Thunder Cloud Elf, who was like a black thunder cloud, activated the thundering skill, and the lightning surged inside!

    The deafening sound immediately spread throughout the venue, causing many examiners to cover their ears and tremble in their hearts.

    However, the main deterrent object of this sound is the little iron-eating beast standing on the ring and the green cotton worm on its head!

    At this moment, with a "bang", rain clouds immediately appeared above the venue, rainp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;

    The substantive aura is shocking, causing the raindrops to distort and disappear in the air. At this time, the deterrent collision of the three elves on the field, even the examiners who are outside the field, can clearly feel It is extremely terrifying!

    There was a "bang", as if the air collided with each other, and the entire arena was wrapped in two huge auras. When the auras collided, lightning flashed and thunder thundered in mid-air. However, after a moment of collision, the deterrent power of thunder soon  After being quickly suppressed, Zhang Qianyi's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't expect the Thunder Cloud Spirit's thunder to defeat the threat of the little iron-eating beast. As long as he could resist, it would be considered a victory.

    Their killer moves are yet to come!

    Boom!  !  !

    After the thunderstorm, following the thunderstorm, a thick thunderbolt crashed down with the sound of thunder.

    Strengthened by Prayer for Rain and Shocking Thunder, the power of this high-level thunder skill has reached its maximum. At this moment, a thunder column several meters thick descends, and Eleven shows an excited expression, causing Chong Chong to stare and jump away.  On Eleven——

    "Leiqie." Shi Yu said at the edge of the ring, holding an umbrella.

    "Aww!!"

    Hearing Shi Yu's order, Eleven roared, and strong mouths began to appear in both palms, this, this is okay?  ?  ?

    The speed of lightning is so fast, how did this little iron-eating beast cut through lightning so accurately and quickly!  !  !  !

    A monster!

    Zhang Qianyi and Leiyun Fairy changed their expressions almost at the same time.

    "Is this the power of the Perfect Lightning Palm"

    All the assessors were shocked when they saw the small iron-eating beast that fell to the scorched ground again, with a high fighting spirit.

    Grass.

    Previously, it was Chong Chong's reappearance, but now seeing the little iron-eating beast attacking, it suddenly gave the examiners an illusion as if they had passed away.

    "In addition to the perfect lightning palm, there is also perfect super vision." Gaotai, Yin Chuanqi said silently, otherwise, this iron-eating beast wants to catch the movement of lightning and the weak spot of energy so easily, and cut it smoothly, it would be impossible.  It's not that easy.

    This move is no longer simply a perfect level thunder palm, but a profound technique composed of perfect level thunder palm and super vision, which can allow the little iron-eating beast to perfectly control the lightning-stimulated lightning-fast profound technique!

    "Senior sister, is this the Thunder Palm of your Bamboo Stone Martial Arts Gym? It's awesome!!!" The ancient capital university auditorium, archaeologist Qiyingjie said one after another.

    After the third round of assessment is over, there will be a short break.

    Whether it is the audience or the candidates, you can find something to eat.

    Shi Yu stared at the small TV quietly, and now there is the last show.

    ? Yin Zhengfan v Ji Ke.

    Ji Ke is the seed candidate who is dressed in a strange costume, which is similar to martial arts costumes.

    Her strength is also good, and the two beasts follow the technical flow. For example, her water blade praying mantis uses the water cutting move as the core to create a fancy knife technique. Unfortunately, she met Yin Zhengfan.

    "Although the technical flow is good, it must be supported by strength."

    After watching the battle, Shi Yu felt that he was really handsome under the same combat power, but he was immediately blinded when he met a master.

    Let Eleven use the continuous thunder palm to hit a set of gorgeous and fancy palms, it is far better to directly multiply + thunder palm to hit the past with a full blow, which is simpler and less troublesome.

    "That thunder cloud elf will startle the thunder, and this mane rock monster will deter. It's not easy to deal with."

    Eleven and Chongchong ate in silence, not wanting to hear Versailles, the master of beasts.

    It's not easy to do it, it's not easy to do it.

    "Fortunately, Yin Zhengfan didn't contract too many beasts——"

    Shi Yu got up and moved his body. Yin Zhengfan has the talent to strengthen the beast master space. In theory, he can contract four pet beasts now. However, because he has become a beast master for too short a time, he can't cultivate them. So far, he has only contracted two.

    If his contract is full, Shi Yu and the others will be under a lot of pressure.

    "I'm going to order a box lunch." Shi Yu said to Eleven and Chongchong.

    Although I have eaten a bunch of snacks and supplements in the house, it is still time to have lunch.

    "(￣▽￣)～■□～(￣▽￣)嘤!"

    &amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;

    "Just now my father's side, as well as Director Li's side, have all received news!"

    On the other end of the phone was Lin Xiuzhu's excited tone.

    Shi Yu smiled slightly, although he already knew, he still said: "Really?"

    "Well, look at the time, it will be announced on Donghuang.com at 13:00 pm!"

    Donghuang.com, the official media of the ancient country of Donghuang, is the most formal information website.

    Shi Yu glanced at the time, it is currently 12:30, that is to say, half an hour later?

    At the same time, it happened to be the beginning of the first session of the afternoon assessment.

    He v Zhang Qianyi.

    "look forward to……"

    Shi Yu looked at the time and said.

    "Then I have to show off my skills, and after the battle, I will put up an advertisement on the spot"

    There are so many bigwigs on the scene, maybe they can attract some investment.

    Now, the bamboo stone martial arts gym and the iron-eating beast breeding base of Shi Yu and senior panda sister's family are in a win-win situation.

    The iron-eating beast breeding base is used to cultivate and breed iron-eating beasts.

 Text 802 [Material Discussions are Raising]

    ,

    The chief of the Procuratorate is the censor of the left and right, who is responsible for supervising officials.  It is generally held by civil servants, and occasionally there are exceptions and special recruits. It mainly works with the cabinet and the Ministry of Punishment, and can also bypass the cabinet and be directly responsible to the emperor.

    The chief of the National Security Council is also the censor of the left and right. Internally, he is responsible for postal stations, supervising the powerful, and externally responsible for inquiring about the military situation, planting spies, and so on.  It mainly communicates with the cabinet, the Ministry of War and the Inspectorate, and can also bypass the cabinet and be directly responsible to the emperor.

    As the domestic situation stabilized, the spies that Xu Ying recruited at the beginning, due to the quality of the spies, kept appearing messy problems.

    For example, extortion, fish and meat people!

    They used to be called Black Clothes Guards, and some of them used their status to act recklessly, and local officials dared not interfere at all.  Even the Inspector of Integrity did not dare to take action directly, so he could only make a small report to the emperor after returning to Beijing.

    There are more and more such things, Zhao Hancai decided to formalize the black guards.

    Not only did the Black Yiwei change its name to the National Security Council, but it also put all the postal system across the country under the jurisdiction of the National Security Council.  A large number of low-level spies were transformed into postmen at the post station.  High-level spies, transformed into Yicheng, or simply transferred to the Inspectorate as a clean government official.  Therefore, in the post stations all over the country, those postmen are basically part-time spies, and the postmen will sort out the information collected by the postmen every day.

    In each important border area, the National Security Council will set up a branch to be responsible for inquiring about intelligence and placing spies abroad.  The headquarters of the National Security Council is responsible for analyzing the intelligence sent by the whole country.

    After losing its arrest power, the National Security Council was completely reduced to an intelligence organization and a postal unit.

    The person who took over Xu Ying's control of the National Security Institute was the inn waiter in Huangjia Town.  The guy who could only write his own name and only recognize the names of dishes, now not only can read thousands of words, but also asked his husband to change his name - Huang Zundu.

    Just like that Mr. Huang, he is of the generation of "Zun".

    "Have you ever found out who paid for "Scholarly Picking Up Fun"?" Zhao Han asked.

    Huang Zundu said: "The Scholars Shiqu has six major shareholders, three of which contributed the most. One is the Li family in Nanjing, the other is the Zhang family in Jiaxing, and the third is the Zhai family in Qingzhou."

    Zhao Han felt very strange: "It is quite reasonable for the gentry in the capital and the south of the Yangtze River to run newspapers. Why are people from Shandong also coming to Nanjing to invest in newspapers?"

    Huang Zundu explained: "The Zhai family's ancestral home is Anhui. In the early Ming Dynasty, a large number of immigrants first came to Zaoqiang, Hebei, and then were distributed to Qingzhou to settle down. During the Tianshun period, they moved to Xihe Village and multiplied into a large clan, known as 'Xihe Zhai'. During the Wanli period,  Zhai Fengchong became a Jinshi, joined the Donglin Party, and was demoted and dismissed by the Eunuch Party. Chongzhen came back in the second year and became the right servant of the Ministry of War. He was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War.  Taking pictures of schools, governor of Tianjin and other places. The front line was defeated, and Zhai Fengchong was dismissed and returned to his hometown."

    Zhao Han sneered: "It turns out that I have supervised the Liao pay, no wonder I have money to go south to run newspapers."

    Huang Zundu continued: "The person who went south to run the newspaper was called Zhai Wenben, who was the nephew of Zhai Fengchong. Zhai Wenben was elected during the reign of Chongzhen, but he did not go to Beijing for the test due to military disasters and plagues. After our dynasty recovered Shandong,  Zhai Wenben volunteered to serve, but he only became an ordinary official. It is estimated that he felt that the official was hardworking and shameless, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to study. He was over six years old in the imperial examination three years ago, so he could not apply for the Shandong Provincial Examination.  There was a riot in the provincial capital, and I was arrested and locked up in a cell for three days. After that, I went to Nanjing to hang out, participated in literary conferences, made friends, and co-authored "Scholars Picking Up Fun."

    "This is resentment! Looking at the whole country, this generation knows nothing about it." Zhao Han said with emotion.

    Zhai Wenben was purely self-destructive. The Datong Army recovered Shandong quite early, and he was already an official at that time.  If you can work hard and have a diploma from the Ming Dynasty Juren, you may have been promoted to the county magistrate by now.

    However, he disdained being an official and resigned voluntarily to go home.  After finally looking forward to the imperial examination, who knows that the imperial court is stuck on the age limit, and now they can only run newspapers and take sour water.

    Even if the age of the imperial examination is not stuck, even if Zhai Wenben succeeds in the examination, his official position will not be higher than if he was honestly promoted at the beginning.

    Zhao Han asked again: "Who is that Cang Xuzi who wrote the article?"

    Huang Zundu replied: "Zhang Tianzhi, from Xiushui, Jiaxing, has also passed the imperial examination period, and in the first imperial examination, his age was only over three years old. Since then, this person has been annoyed everywhere, writing articles complaining about the imperial court's imperial examination system  .Because some articles were written too far, no newspapers were willing to publish them, so he partnered with Zhai Wenben and others to run his own newspaper.”

    "Very good, you go down." Zhao Han approved of the intelligence work of the National Security Council.

    In fact, this information can be obtained without leaving Nanjing at all, because Zhai Wenben and Zhang Tianzhi are too high-profile.

    After Huang Zundu left, Zhao Han opened "The Scholars" again.

    &n? 

    ? If you are frightened by the public opinion in the newspaper, you will be frightened halfway back.  Some female examinees left Nanjing ahead of schedule without even receiving their admission tickets, for fear of being stabbed in the back by others.

    The pen stick on the newspaper can't be typed at all.

    There are indeed women's publications, but they are only circulated on a small scale.  Famous talented women can be famous far and wide, but also rely on talents to fuel the flames.

    In this situation, very few talented people are willing to speak up.

    The woman wrote an article to refute it, but she couldn't find a newspaper to publish it.  Some newspapers are willing to publish it, but they are all tabloids with insufficient circulation.

    Zhao Han's original intention was to let the people debate for themselves.

    The current situation made Zhao Han very disappointed.  But it is impossible for him and the "Datong Monthly" to end in person.

    What should I do?

    Zhao Han called Huang Zundu: "Hand down, it is said that the emperor was influenced by the newspaper's public opinion and felt that women really should not show their faces. From now on, even textile factories are not allowed to hire women as weavers."

    This news will make the capitalists explode directly.

 Text 803【Experiencing the Holy Will】

    Speaking of commercial prosperity in ancient times, many people subconsciously think of the Song Dynasty.

    However, the commercial prosperity of the Song Dynasty, to be precise, was the prosperity of the cities, relying on the crazy blood sucking from the countryside.  The only business in the Song Dynasty that could beat the Ming Dynasty was the prosperity of sea trade. If smuggling in sea trade was included, the Song Dynasty might not necessarily win.

    In the early years of Wanli, the business of the Ming Dynasty reached a peak of the feudal dynasty!

    ? Although the Manchus were often looked down upon, in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, China's business flourished again, and its scale also surpassed that of the Song Dynasty.

    Why did Ming and Qing commerce prosper?

    Great development of agriculture!

    In the Ming Dynasty, rice and cotton were the main crops.  In the Qing Dynasty, on this basis, sweet potatoes, corn and potatoes appeared.

    In the Ming Dynasty, the improved rice varieties from Vietnam really achieved wide-scale popularization.  The flood discharge channel and reservoir system have solved the flood problem in the south of the Yangtze River that has lasted for thousands of years.  The oil residue extracted from rapeseed and soybean oil is widely used in fertile fields. This is a new type of fertilizer popularized in the Ming Dynasty.  Cotton planting methods were improved, and the imperial court guided the whole country to plant cotton.

    The increase in rice production has solved the problem of food.

    The promotion of cotton has solved the problem of dressing.

    So, the population exploded!

    The big cities can't accommodate so many people, and the countryside can't accommodate so many people, so new towns appear.  These towns not only absorb the surplus labor force in the countryside, but also form one after another rural market.  The emergence of rural fairs gave birth to a group of small merchants living outside the city. They bought agricultural products at rural fairs and transported the means of production needed by farmers from other places.

    Many wealthy merchants and gentry in the Ming Dynasty grew up from such small merchants, such as the Fei family where the queen lives!

    Just talking about the six prefectures of Su, Song, Chang, Hu, Hang and Jia, the number of towns in the Ming Dynasty was more than four times that of the Song Dynasty.  You know, that was the ruling core of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the prosperity of the countryside was far inferior to that of the Ming Dynasty.

    The emergence of a large number of emerging towns has completely changed the social form of China.

    Before the Ming Dynasty, the development of Chinese society was actually the same as that of Europe later.  It is because the population is constantly concentrated in the big cities, and the wealth is also constantly concentrated in the big cities.  Since the Ming Dynasty, although they also concentrated in big cities, more emerging towns were formed.  The large towns are saturated, and countless small towns appear, and finally towns will appear in just a few villages!

    As a result, the phenomenon of "oil-water separation" appeared in China: political power was concentrated in the cities and controlled by officials and dignitaries.  Cities have become power and money trading centers, daily necessities consumption centers, and luxury consumption centers.  The main economic forces are distributed in tens of thousands of towns. Towns are the centers of productivity in China, and it is difficult or even impossible for the government to effectively control them.

    So in the Song Dynasty, it didn't matter if the imperial power did not come down to the county.  In the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was fatal if the imperial power did not come down to the county, because the national economic center of gravity was not in the county.  If someone travels back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, if you want to rebel, you don't need to rush to occupy the cities. It is the last word to occupy those towns with prosperous commerce and no city walls first.

    This is China's unique rural model, which not only affects China's economic form, but also affects China's social form.  It even has an indelible impact on Chinese cultural customs and even on Chinese people's thinking!

    Rural China has been carved into the bones.

    Zhao Han announced that folk merchants could weave brocade, and the number of merchants engaged in this thing increased rapidly.  The city of Nanjing couldn't accommodate it at all, so it had to move outside the city to build a factory.  The land outside the city is also limited, so move to the towns near Nanjing City.

    Currently there are three brocade production bases in Jinling Prefecture, one is outside Nanjing, the other is Jiangning Town, and the other is Chunhua Town.

    Shen Yourong is in Chunhua Town, and he has recruited more than a thousand brocade weavers!

    Not long after the Lantern Festival, Liang Xingdao, a wealthy businessman from Jiangning Town, came to visit Shen Yourong in person: "Mr. Shen, you know that His Majesty is going to ban women from entering factories to work as weavers!"

    "What?" Shen Yourong thought she had heard wrong.

    "Your Majesty is going to ban women from entering factories to work as weavers!" Liang Xingdao repeated again.

    Shen Yourong was a little stunned by the fright, and thought with the remaining rationality: "Your Majesty has always given preferential treatment to businessmen. As long as you abide by the rules and laws, why have you ever felt sorry for businessmen? Even Yunjin, which was used by the imperial court in the past, was allowed to operate by private merchants.  Will there be a sudden order to ban women from working?"

    Liang Xingdao lowered his hands and stamped his feet: "Isn't it the good deeds of those pedantic scholars? After the Chinese New Year, many newspapers published articles against women's participation in the imperial examination. They said that women should not show their faces, and women are born to be husbands, children, and parents-in-law This newspaper's public opinion  It's one-sided, and no one dares to speak for women anymore. A few days ago, there was a servant of the Ministry of Rites, called Cao, who asked His Majesty??Do you agree with women's imperial examination?  "

    "I don't agree with this matter." Liang Xingdao said.

    Shen Yourong said: "But with this matter, we don't agree with it in our hearts, but our mouths must agree. Not only must our mouths support it now, but it will continue to support it in the future."

    "I see!" Liang Xingdao was not a fool either.

    Shen Yourong said: "Let's connect the entire Jinling Mansion's merchant gatherings together, and even those merchants who sell cloth should be invited together. We don't have female weaving workers, where can they buy it? A few joint ventures run a newspaper office and run dozens of them."  Home, the government will definitely issue the license quickly. Before getting the license, you can pay for a pen and write articles to refute the remarks of those corrupt scholars. The bigger the trouble we make, the happier the emperor will be."&lt;/div&gt

 Text 804 [Already read: Bullshit is unreasonable]

    "Mr. Gu, "Jinling Gongbao" is willing to give 50 silver dollars, sir, please correct the names of women in the world! If you want to sign your real name, the retouching fee can be increased to 100 silver dollars."

    Before a newspaper got its license, the editor-in-chief had already come to ask for a manuscript.

    Gu Yanwu was not interested in this: "I'm not in the mood to write, please ask someone else to be smart."

    The editor-in-chief thought that the money was not enough, and said: "Mr. Gu can set the price himself, no matter how much money, I can go back to Bingming's owner."

    "Don't write, don't write, see off the guests!" Gu Yanwu called the long follower to chase away people.

    After driving away the editor-in-chief, Gu Yanwu went back to the study alone, staring at his original manuscript of "On Counties and Counties" in a daze.

    Although he served Emperor Zhao very early, he has been compiling books in the Imperial Academy.

    Just a few days ago, he submitted his masterpiece "On Counties and Counties" to the emperor for review.

    Zhao Han's Zhu Zhu is: I have read it, but it doesn't make sense.  Order the Ministry of Officials to find a vacancy for this guy and send him out to be a county magistrate.  After serving as magistrate for three years, I will revise the "On Counties and Counties".

    These few instructions hit Gu Yanwu hard, and his confident masterpiece was actually reprimanded by the emperor as "nonsense".

    During the Tang Dynasty, Liu Zongyuan wrote an article "On Feudalism", refuting that some people at that time wanted to abolish counties and restore feudalism.

    The general content of "On Feudalism" is:

    In the primitive stage, human beings lived together with wild beasts and had to use tools to survive.  At this time, it is necessary to find someone who can distinguish right from wrong and lead people to resist natural disasters and wild animals.  Surrounding this leader, ethnic groups are formed, and when the size of the ethnic groups becomes large, armies, leaders, laws, and government orders are produced.

    During the long-term war, the people of various ethnic groups needed stronger leaders, so princes were born.  The emergence of a large number of vassals triggered a larger-scale war, which required stronger leaders to settle it, so there appeared princes leaders such as Fang Bo and Lian Shuai.  By analogy, the Son of Heaven finally appeared.

    Liu Zongyuan also proved that feudalism is the primary stage of political form through his discussion from ancient times to the Han and Tang Dynasties.  Feudalism is not the original intention of the sage, but follows the state of society at that time.  The emergence of the county system is the result of the collapse of the feudal system and is in line with the law of social development.

    Gu Yanwu's "On Counties and Counties" is obviously based on Liu Zongyuan's "On Feudalism", and further discusses that the system of prefectures and counties has reached the verge of collapse.  Needs to be reformed again!

    Gu Yanwu said that the outbreak of the ills of the feudal system led to the emergence of the county system.  Now, the ills of the prefecture and county system also broke out in the late Ming Dynasty, and it can be speculated that the prefecture and county system will also collapse.  But to go back to feudalism?  No, the feudal system is a backward thing, and if it is to be changed, it should be changed forward, not backward.

    It also discusses that the disadvantage of the feudal system lies in the fact that power is too dispersed.  The disadvantage of the county system is that the power is too concentrated, and the emperor is highly centralized and separated from the masses.  Therefore, we must take the county system as the foundation and add some feudal elements.  The two phases are reconciled to achieve a balanced state of centralization and decentralization.

    There is nothing wrong with the above content, but the next details unfolded, and Zhao Han successfully received the comment of "shit doesn't make sense".

    ?Gu Yanwu said that the county magistrate should be changed to a county magistrate, from the seventh rank to the fifth rank.  The county magistrate must be familiar with the local customs, and there is no need to stick to the rules of being an official in a different place.  Let the county magistrate try to do it for three years, and then he will be corrected after being evaluated for competence.  After another three years, if you pass the examination, you can be called a parent officer.  Do it for another three years, and if you are qualified, the emperor should reward you.  After another three years, if he is still competent, the county magistrate will be given a salary increase and appointed as the county magistrate for life.  If you retire due to old illness, you can recommend the next county magistrate.  The retired county magistrate worked as a consultant in the county and was paid until his death.  Those who are recommended also have a three-year probationary period.  Several counties were merged into one county, and the prefect was also elected every three years

    After reading the article, Zhao Han didn't want to read it anymore, and ordered Gu Yanwu to be thrown out to be the county magistrate, so that he could get a good feel for the specific situation.

    His dignified Ph.D. from the Hanlin Academy was released to be a county magistrate.  Gu Yanwu was extremely depressed about this, not because his official position was too small, but because he was treated like an idiot by the emperor.

    Because in "On Counties and Counties", Gu Yanwu himself said that most of the scholars in the former Ming Dynasty were idiots, and the preferential policies had to be cancelled. Even if they passed the imperial examination, they could not directly become county magistrates, and they had to start from miscellaneous officials or minor officials.  He looked down on the scholars of the former Ming Dynasty, and the emperor obviously didn't like him either

    Holding the original manuscript of his article, Gu Yanwu went out to visit friends, and soon found Huang Zongxi who was on vacation.

    Huang Zongxi couldn't laugh or cry after reading "On Counties and Counties", and commented: "Brother Ning, you are building a car behind closed doors. Let a county magistrate who is familiar with the local customs and customs, and all relatives, clansmen and friends are under his rule.  What's more, let the county magistrate hold this position for life, even if he is sued.The lower-level families looked down on her, and it was hard to find even a well-matched in-law's family.

    Women's education is completely deformed.

    Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu devoted themselves to writing articles in the Huang residence.

    Huang Zongxi's student Yan Ruoqi walked leisurely towards the Gongyuan.  He has already lost his qualifications to be an official, and his family has a lot of money, so now he simply does whatever he wants and specializes in studying the knowledge he likes.

    Yan Ruoqi in history, Mao Qiling, a big frontal hard steel sprayer, made Mao Qiling speechless.  Gu Yanwu took the work and went to Yan Ruoqi to discuss it. Yan Ruoqi suggested modifying some of the content, and Gu Yanwu also made the revision sincerely.

    Wang Yuan, an economist (let’s call him that) in the early Qing Dynasty, was Yan Ruoqi’s student.

    Another teacher of Wang Yuan was Yan Yuan, a great Confucian in the early Qing Dynasty who openly supported women's rights in Fanlou that day.

    Coincidentally, in this time and space, Yan Ruoqiu and Yan Yuan met in advance, and became friends with Tang Zhen from Sichuan.

    When they came to the inn where the two friends were staying, Yan Ruoqiu said: "You two virtuous brothers, don't write any more articles about the women's imperial examinations. My foolish brother has more important national affairs here. If the three of us negotiate well, we can become officials without the imperial examinations.  My little brother might make an exception and become an official."

    "What national event?" Yan Yuan asked.

    Yan Ruoqiu said: "Today's industry and commerce, especially the textile industry, the planning of the imperial court is wrong. Although private merchants are correcting and offsetting this mistake by themselves, the corresponding tax system and official system have not been adjusted accordingly."

    Tang Zhen laughed and said, "It really is a big deal!"

    (There is an Easter egg chapter at the end of the chapter. I don’t know if it can pass the review this time.) &lt;/div&gt

 Main body 805 [Development model of rural industry in China]

    ,

    In the guest room, a group of people were chatting.

    There are Qi Biaojia and his wife and sister-in-law, as well as his son, daughter and prospective daughter-in-law.  There are also Liu Shuying from Jiangxi, Yan Yuan from Hebei, Tang Zhen from Sichuan, and Yan Ruoqi from Taiyuan.

    Yan Ruoqiu, the youngest, said: "Your Majesty undoubtedly encourages industry and commerce, and develops industry and commerce centered on cities, and advocates merchants to open workshops and factories inside and outside the city. Tax collectors at all levels are mainly located in cities, and it is easier to apply for land in the suburbs.  There are several advantages, one is that the people inside and outside the city can go to the nearest factory to work; the other is that it is convenient for the government to collect taxes; the third is that the transportation is convenient, and the raw materials and goods can be circulated quickly.”

    "Indeed." Tang Zhen nodded.

    Yan Ruoqi's family is in the salt industry, Tang Zhen's family is in the silk and oil industry, and Qi Biaojia is the owner of a textile factory.

    As for Yan Yuan's family background, it can be described as hard to describe.

    Because of his poor family, his own father adopted Zhu's family in the same village as an adopted son. Yan Yuan's former name was Zhu Bangliang.  His own father couldn't stand the Zhu family's discrimination, so when the Tartars entered and plundered, he took the initiative to follow the Tartars to Liaodong, and he hasn't heard from him till now.

    His adoptive grandfather was the local garrison officer of the Ming Dynasty. He first surrendered to Li Zicheng, then Dorgon, and helped the Manchu Qing suppress the uprising army, and then surrendered to Li Zicheng. He was finally executed by the Datong Army.

    Because Yan Yuan was young, he was not implicated, so he lived in his teacher's house and changed back to his ancestor's Yan surname.

    He practiced riding and archery with his teacher since he was a child, and also learned the art of war, medicine and magic, and even learned alchemy to cultivate immortality.  Primary schools in Hebei were established very late. He was sent to the school by his mentor, and he skipped grades faster than government-run schools. He once completed primary school courses by himself, and then discovered that there was no middle school in the county.

    By the way, Wu Dongyun, Yan Yuan's mentor, closed the country private school and took the initiative to join the Datong Army when the Datong Army, Li Zicheng, and the Eight Banners Army fought in Hebei.

    A little old man in his fifties or sixties, riding a bad horse, with an iron sword hanging from his waist, a bow on his back, and a long halberd in his hand, rushed to the Datong military camp with his gray hair.  He was immediately appointed as the leader of the local rebel army, and then assisted in the formation of the farmers' association to divide the fields. He is now the principal of Boye County Middle School.

    Yan Yuan became the grandson-in-law of his mentor

    Yan Yuan asked: "Is there something wrong with the court's move?"

    Yan Ruoqi pointed to Qi Biaojia and said, "You can ask Mr. Qi about this, Mr. Qi should have a deep understanding."

    Qi Biaojia said: "The suburbs of the county have a large population, so it is easy to recruit workers, but there is not enough land for the factory. I had to find a slope outside the town and apply for the land to build a factory. But although the slope is barren, it is still arable land.  The government was very slow in approving it, and it took four years to get it approved."

    Yan Ruoqiu explained: "This is because the officials in the county only have very little authority to grant land every year. In order to prosper the county and facilitate tax collection, they centrally approve the land in the suburbs to build factories. They will wait for immigrants every year and give priority to the land in the suburbs.  Many farmers moved to the north, and the vacated land was used as land for building factories. Some of the land was very fertile, but it was approved in violation of regulations. And the barren land in villages and towns, because it is too far away from the county seat, it is difficult to get approval from the government.”

    "Indeed," Qi Biaojia nodded and said, "We have no land to approve in the outskirts of the county, so we approved the construction of factories in villages and towns."

    Yan Ruoqiu said: "This is wrong. The imperial court and the local government had the wrong idea from the very beginning. The land should be approved to build factories around towns. Not only are there more barren land suitable for building factories, but they can also absorb nearby farmers.  In this way, the merchants who set up factories will get convenience, and the nearby farmers can also increase their income. In this way, the people inside and outside the city will not be rich, while the people far away from the county can only farm the land.”

    Yan Ruoqiu's thinking is very clear, in the final analysis, it can be summed up in eight words: focus on the development of township enterprises!

    Shang Jinglan looked at Yan Ruoqi in surprise: "Little brother, is this year Guigeng?"

    Yan Ruoqiu replied: "Seventeen years old."

    Everyone was speechless.

    Yan Ruoqiu explained: "An uncle of mine also planned to open a textile factory, and encountered the same problem. I heard my uncle complain, so I began to pay attention to this matter. Every winter and summer vacation, I travel between Hebei and Nanjing, inquiring about the relevant situation along the way,  Gradually, this kind of thinking came into being. In fact, in Daming, many places are already similar. For example, Yanshen Town specializes in glass, Jingdezhen specializes in porcelain, and Foshan Town specializes in iron. They are all centered on towns and attract farmers to work, and then become  Wealthy and big town. Once there are more factories in a certain town, it will grow rapidly. The unfavorable conditions such as transportation and taxation will no longer be a problem."

    Including Zhao Han himself, the idea of ??the court officials is to build industrial and commercial centers next to the cities.

    And Yan Ruoqi's idea is to develop theThe inhumane approach of Hao Hao suddenly stunned the serious publications, and they didn't know how to respond, so they could only be forced to write articles and pen sticks.

    "This article must have been written by a great Confucian. It is difficult to deal with citing classics." Zhai Wenben held a copy of "Jiangning Business Daily" in his hand.

    Zhang Tianzhi said angrily: "Bastard Confucianism! These newspapers seem to be run by merchants. How can a real Confucianist be greedy for those few pennies and help merchants and women write deceptive articles?"

    Huang Zongxi is indeed not a great Confucian, but one of the prince's main lecturers.

    Zhai Wenben asked: "What should I do?"

    Zhang Tianzhi said: "It's very lively now, and the newspapers don't worry about sales. Don't wait until next month, immediately invite colleagues to write articles, and quickly publish supplements to fight back against those business newspapers, just in time to sell newspapers to make a fortune! ?

 Text 806【Hangzhou Discussion Conference】

    Chapter 809 806

    Dozens of newspapers were placed in front of Zhao Han.

    Representative articles have been circled for the emperor to read quickly.

    After scanning it roughly, Zhao Han couldn't help but smile: "Sure enough, this writing stick is like a quarrel, and the arguing and arguing will make it crooked to the sky."

    Li Xiangjun asked: "Does Your Majesty want to watch it again?"

    "No need, let them continue to quarrel." Zhao Han is very satisfied with the current situation.

    ? Although there are merchants throwing money to publish articles, and although there are great Confucianists who help to speak, they still fall behind at the beginning.  The main ones are the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, which cannot be circumvented no matter what.  Moreover, women should take care of their husbands and raise their children, which has been recognized by the vast majority of readers.

    However, new forces were added halfway through!

    Today's ideological world is full of flowers, and some new schools of thought suddenly join the debate to speak for women in order to attract attention.  The emergence of these emerging schools immediately affected the hostile schools, and it turned into a big melee.  Whether a woman can be an official through the imperial examination is only a passing topic, and the core focus of the debate has become a struggle for the right to interpret Confucian classics.

    ? At Hangzhou University, Professor Chen Que initiated a debate, and both the Jishan School and the Yaojiang School were invited to participate.

    Today's Zhejiang is dominated by Yangming's philosophy of mind.

    However, the disciples of Xinxue in Zhejiang have already played out their brains with each other.

    In the fourth year of Chongzhen, Liu Zongzhou and Tao Shuangling jointly created the "Witness Club".  The split occurred in just one year because of disagreements over how to "witness".  Friends and disciples of Liu Zongzhou formed the Jishan School.  Tao Shuangling's friends and disciples formed the Yaojiang School.

    Chen Que, who initiated the debate today, is from the Jishan School, but belongs to the heresy of the Jishan School!

    There were hundreds of teachers and students in Hangzhou University, and dozens of sociologists. Chen Que took the lead in speaking: "Recently, there was a debate between men and women in Jinling, and both sides of the debate were citing scriptures. Why should they cite scriptures? Because those are the words of sages."  Is it true? What a sage says must be correct? A sage must first be a human being. If a sage is not a human being, what should Lu Wang Xinxue do?  It is also impossible to become a saint, so I don’t need to exist in the same line of my mind.”

    As soon as this remark came out, everyone agreed that a sage must be a human being, which is the basic concept of Xinxue.

    Then Chen Que began to mess around: "In my opinion, even if you become a saint, you are no different from ordinary people in terms of human nature. Don't rush to refute, just listen to me. If you become a saint, your human nature will be different."  After consummation, they are completely different from ordinary people. Ordinary people who have not become saints, do they have flaws in human nature? If there are flaws in human nature, they cannot be called human beings, but just a tool that resembles human beings.  Human nature, I think it’s better for this saint not to do it!”

    "What nonsense!"

    Liu Bang was furious immediately, pointed at Chen Que and said, "You have turned your back on your teacher, and now you come to criticize the sages. You are really not a son of man! Do you want to be Wang Longxi, or Wang Taizhou?"

    Liu Bao is the son of Liu Zongzhou, the founder of Jishan School, and he is also related to Huang Zongxi.

    Today, the Jishan School has been divided into three, Huang Zongxi belongs to the orthodox school, Liu Bian belongs to the revisionist school, and Chen Que belongs to the independent school.

    As for Wang Longxi and Wang Taizhou mentioned by Liu Bang, one is Wang Ji, the founder of Wangmen in Central Zhejiang, and the other is Wang Gen, the founder of Taizhou School.  These two schools of thought belong to the leftist school of mind, and their academic views are very extreme.  For example, the Taizhou school advocates equality in the world, equality in all industries, everyone can be a saint, and hard work and life is learning.

    Zhezhong Wangmen was once popular in Zhejiang, and it was the orthodoxy of the whole country.  The thoughts of Jishan School and Yaojiang School are actually inherited from Wangmen in Central Zhejiang.  But as a new school, if you want to rise, you have to overthrow the authority. Only by completely overthrowing the Zhezhong Wangmen can the Jishan School and the Yaojiang School win the morality of the mind. In history, the Yaojiang School succeeded, and it was also called the "Yangming School".  .

    The scholars present today seem to come from only two schools of thought, but they have actually split into six or seven factions.

    It is false for them to argue about the issue of men and women, and it is true to take the opportunity to compete for the morality of the mind!

    "I think what Chen Qianchu (Chen Que) said makes sense," Shi Biao stood up suddenly, "A saint should be a human being, and a human being has the seven emotions and six desires. Those who don't have the seven emotions and six desires are not humans, nor are they saints, but gods in the sky!"

    Many people did not expect Shi Biao to support Chen Que suddenly.

    Historically, Shi Biao was the third-generation lecturer of the Yaojiang School, and his views at this time clearly showed signs of becoming a heresy in the sect.

    "Ahem!"

    Shen Guomo coughed suddenly, and the disciples immediately shouted for silence.

    Shen Guo?disposition.  Shi Jian is a character.  A man is just, it is nature.  Women are gentle, they are dispositions.  When women are born in the Lord, they should care for their husbands, teach their children, and serve their parents-in-law. This is the natural nature of women.  Once violated, it is yin and yang reversed.  "

    A student of Hangzhou University stood up and said, "No, no. Although water is soft, it can turn ice into firmness. Although metal and stone are hard, they can be refined into water. The teacher at the school taught this. Jiang  Sir, you have never studied physics, so don't use this as an example."

    Jiang Xizhe's mind turned quickly: "Water freezes into ice, gold and stone refine water, it's not abnormal, it's just an expedient measure. As long as the temperature is normal, water will still be water, and stone will still be stone. Just like a woman reading and plowing the fields, it is also expedient.  The plan is, when the population of the world is prosperous, there will be no need to tire the women to plow the fields."

    Another college student stood up: "Why don't you tell us about women weaving? As early as the Ming Dynasty, there were many women working as weavers. At that time, the population was booming, and women also came out to work! This is not an expedient measure!"

    Jiang Xizhe said: "It is also natural for men to farm and women to weave. It is natural for women to be weavers. It is nothing more than going from home to the factory. I think that as long as it is a textile factory, there can only be female workers and no male workers.  There is a difference between men and women. Even if there are male workers, they cannot be in the same room with female workers."

    The college student just said angrily: "You were not born in a poor family, but I came from the mountainous area in southern Zhejiang. The mountainous area is poor. My father and mother usually work. My mother spins yarn at night, cooks three meals a day, and plows the land during the day."  , I have to cut firewood in my spare time. Nowadays, it is popular to raise pigs at home. In addition to feeding chickens and ducks, my mother also has to hunt pig grass and cook pig food. Mother is so hard, why do you say that women should be husbands?  Godchild? If my mother only cared for her husband and raised her son, I would have starved to death long ago, let alone go to school, let alone get admitted to Hangzhou University at public expense!"

    "well said!"

    Some students and scholars from poor backgrounds immediately applauded this passage.

    Soon, more and more students joined the discussion.  They were here to watch, but they couldn't help expressing their opinions.  These students are obviously more open-minded, and most of them support women's imperial examinations as officials.

    Don't talk about women's imperial examinations, they will take up their quota of Jinshi.  They are college students themselves, knowing that it is difficult for female students to graduate, and most of them get married before graduation.  What's more, they like to have girls in the school. Every girl is a treasure. Even if they are ugly, they are favored by the group. They are very willing to help girls speak.

    With these college students, the debate format began to be one-sided.

    Or, because there are too many speakers, this debate can no longer go on.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 807【Became a prince teacher】

    The academic thoughts of the Datong New Dynasty were too chaotic, full of Confucian scholars' self-doubt about Confucianism.

    This phenomenon did not start from the fall of the Ming Dynasty, but appeared as early as the Wanli period.

    ? If we push forward further, we can push it back to the Zhengde and Jiajing years, and Wang Yangming is one of them.  But Wang Yangming's thought soon split into numerous factions.  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the reputation of Xinxue was extremely bad, and it was necessary to use Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism to criticize Yangming Xinxue, which had been reduced to empty talk and metaphysics.

    In the final analysis, this ideological movement, which lasted for hundreds of years, was brought about by the social development of the Ming Dynasty.

    With the great development of productivity, the rise of the merchant class, the growth of the citizen class, and the prosperity of the township economy, it is difficult for traditional Confucianism to deal with new social relations.  However, the decline of politics and people's livelihood in the late Ming Dynasty, and the subsequent entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty only exacerbated this phenomenon-it is a pity that this ideological movement was strangled to death by the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history.  The self-renewal of Confucianism was also interrupted, and it was not rekindled until the Opium War.

    ? In the new dynasty of Datong, at the beginning of the founding of the country, Confucian scholars were still reflecting.

    ?Some people are more conservative and think that it should go back to the past, pick up the Confucian classics of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and pursue the original meaning of the Confucian sages.  Such people can be collectively referred to as "retro faction".

    Some people are relatively conservative and think that it should be improved. It is inconvenient to say later because it does not belong to this time and space.

    These two sentences are very similar to Dai Zhen's famous saying, and Dai Zhen lived in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.

    Chen Que's article is more radical and comprehensive than that of Dai Zhen.  He said that with Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, everyone is now reasonable, and even foolish men and women quarrel and say that they have "reason".  The elders use reason to reprimand the younger, and the venerable use reason to reprimand the humble. Even if it is unreasonable, it becomes reasonable, and the younger and the humble fight for reason and become disobedient.

    People with high power and positions, and people with sharp tongues, seem very reasonable.  People with low status and poor eloquence seem to be unreasonable.

    Therefore, "reason" has gone astray, and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has become a tool to shackle thinking.

    Confucianism of the Song and Ming Dynasties, including Wang Yangming's Xinxue, all recognized the theory of qi and principle.  But Chen confirmed that in addition to Qi, Xinxing should also be added.  The theory of xinxing existed before, but it must be elevated to the same status as qi.

    Qi, reason, heart, and nature, the combination of the four is the real way of heaven.

    Even, Chen Que introduced the concept of physics.

    Qi is the material basis of the universe and the basic element of the world.

    Li is the law of all things, not only the law of nature, but also the law of society, and even all the ethics and laws in the world.

    The heart is the conscience, which is the status of human beings. They have various starting points of interests.

    Including the natural sciences that are still in decline, Chen Que also uses this method to explain.  Qi is matter, reason is law, heart is cognition, sex is motivation, and all the elements for studying natural science are available.

    After reading this article, Zhao Han thought for a while and said: "The next issue of Datong Monthly will reprint this article in its entirety. Order the Department of Public Security to send people to Hangzhou to recruit Chen Que to the Imperial Academy as a doctor. He  He is a professor at Hangzhou University, and will be transferred to Jinling University to teach in the future. Also, let him be the teacher of the prince, and he will talk about 'qi, xinxing'."

    "Follow the order!"

    Li Xiangjun was quite surprised, because Chen Que was too radical and had been regarded as a "crazy Confucian" among the people.

    This guy came from the Jishan School, but apart from the orthodox school and the revisionist school, he broke away from the self-contained school.  And his faction is currently the only one, not even a formal student (not counting students in the university).

    "Take all these newspapers." Zhao Han didn't want to read purely quarrel articles.

    Whether it is an academic dispute, or a dispute between men and women, there will definitely be no result.

    What Zhao Han needs is only the process of quarreling.

    Just let more people know about the idea of ??equal rights between men and women, and whether people accept it or not is the second.  Rule over the peoples with Muse on his knees.  "

    However, Zhao Han said: "It is chaos now, and in a few decades, we will be able to get rid of the chaff and save the chaff. Don't be afraid of chaos, but fear that one family will dominate, and students dare not even have novel ideas."

    With so many schools of thought, Zhao Han has made great contributions.

    Just because he did not recognize the fame of the previous dynasty, many Ming scholars, scholars, and even Jinshi were unable to become officials directly.  These scholars disdain to start from a small official, and either choose to be a teacher or study at home.  Then call friends, gather to give lectures, write books, publish newspapers, give advice, and even instill students with their own ideas in schools.

    As a result, a mess of schools of thought was formed, and some people dared to start a school.  For example, Chen Que is a?? One faction.

    During the examination period, the university is still in session.

    Chen Que has now become a man of the hour, and his former friends broke up with him one after another.

    Even Huang Zongxi wrote letters to refute some of Chen Que's views, such as saying that "The Great Learning" should not be a forgery, but it still belongs to the scope of normal discussion.  Huang Zongxi and Chen Que had always had great academic differences, but they never affected their friendship.

    "Professor Chen, you can't talk about qi and mind in class. How about you tell us when you are on vacation?"

    "Yes, sir. After reading the newspaper, we all feel that we are still full of ideas. There are many doubts, sir. My school is to be a person with a true temperament, to be a person who has seven emotions and six desires, but can restrain them. Alright, let's go to class  , don’t talk about anything else.”

    During the class, there were already people in official uniforms standing outside the classroom to listen.

    When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the young official immediately pushed the door open, cupped his hands and said: "Mr. Chen is polite, and the next person is Yan Zhenggang."

    The Department of Pedestrians is dedicated to running errands for the emperor. The officials are all young civil servants who have just joined the office. Many ordinary imperial decrees in the Ming Dynasty are directly sent to the place by pedestrians, not all of them use eunuchs or Jin Yiwei to deliver the decrees.

    In the Datong New Dynasty, it was more common for passers-by to deliver decrees.

    Upon hearing that it was the emperor's envoy, Chen Que quickly cupped his hands: "The angel is polite, do you need to take a bath and change clothes to receive the order?"

    Yan Zhenggang took out a copy of the decree and said with a smile: "No, it's just an ordinary manuscript. Mr. Chen is a great talent. His Majesty ordered Mr. Chen to go to Nanjing to serve as a doctor of the Imperial Academy and a professor of Jinling University.  Once in the palace, give the prince a lecture on qi, xin and xing."

    As soon as this remark came out, the classroom erupted.

    Chen Que showed a complacent look on his face, and he did not hide his joy. He turned to the students and said, "You can hear me, my knowledge will be outstanding in the future!"

    This man is forty-nine years old.

    He once apprenticed with Huang Zongxi,

 Text 808 [I haven't taken the imperial examination, so I'll be number one first]

    When the newspaper debate was fierce, this year's examination ended successfully.

    A total of twelve women went to the Ministry of Rites to receive their examination tickets.  But there were only five people who actually took the exam, and the rest went home with their admission tickets.

    Under the test list, some are happy and some are sad.

    There are also some guys who have obviously different concerns. They keep looking at the list of scholars, asking back and forth: "Is there a woman who won the tribute?"

    Gongshi is a candidate who is admitted by the general examination, and can only be called this before the palace examination.

    Since the list only includes name, place of origin and graduate school, it is impossible to tell which one is a woman, so many people are concerned about this matter.

    "well!"

    Qi Biaojia looked at the list several times, then turned around and said to her daughter and daughter-in-law-to-be: "It's great that you can take part in the exam. Don't be sad even if you fail."

    "Father, you don't need to comfort me," Qi Deqiong forced a smile, "There are so many candidates in each province, and the mid-term exam is not easy. My daughter has already expected this. No matter what, the second brother won the gongshi, so today should be celebrated."

    Although Qi Bansun passed the exam, he was dejected: "There are indeed so many talented people in the world. I thought I would be in the top list, but I didn't expect to be in the bottom list."

    When this family came to Nanjing, everyone was full of confidence, but only Qi Bansun passed the exam with great difficulty.

    By the way, when it comes to university, no matter it is the university graduation exam or the next exam, everyone has only one chance.

    If you say that you are sick and uncomfortable, you can apply for a postponement of the exam before you get the admission ticket, but you are not allowed to change it as long as you get the admission ticket.

    This may seem a little unreasonable, but it doesn't really matter.

    ?Because those who are eligible to receive the examination admission card can directly become an official even if they do not take the examination.  Do you have a college diploma in your hand? It’s just that when you become an official, you started at a lower level. If you are really capable, you can still climb up.

    Like Qi Biaojia's daughter and prospective daughter-in-law, although they failed this time, as long as they are willing to be officials, they can also get a low-level official.

    Universities in various provinces enroll a lot of students every year, but the graduation exam is really difficult.  Officials from the Ministry of Rites personally preside over the exams. To obtain a university diploma, the difficulty is no different from that of a Jinshi exam. The passing rate of the university’s graduation exam is less than 50. As the number of college students increases, this passing rate will continue to decline.

    While talking, Yan Ruoqi, Yan Yuan and Tang Zhen, three friends squeezed out from the crowd.

    Qi Biaojia's family immediately cupped their hands and said, "Congratulations, both of you!"

    "Congratulations, congratulations!"

    Yan Yuan was second in the general examination, Tang Zhen was 35th in the general examination, and Yan Ruoqi was not eligible for the imperial examination.

    Liu Shuying is also watching the rankings with them, and she will graduate from high school soon.  If the son is interested, he can first look at the portrait of the little girl.  Not to mention sinking fish and wild geese, she is also as beautiful as a flower"

    "Hey, let me tell you Liu Si, your daughter has a big mole on her face, so why is she so beautiful? Regardless of her looks, she can't study well, and she was at the bottom of the exams in girls' schools. Pu Gongzi, my daughter is a talented woman  .After you get married in the future, you and your husband will sing poems and have endless things to say, so you must be very affectionate."

    ""

    Pu Jian was obviously at a loss. He was the son of a salt worker. He usually only knew how to study hard, and he went all the way to graduate from university at public expense.

    Moreover, from elementary school to university, his grades are usually above average, which is not particularly eye-catching.  It's just that he can perform exceptionally well in every key exam, and this time he got the third place in the general exam for no reason.

    Pushed back, Pu Jian stammered: "I I accepted it with good intentions, and I am next I won't go to be an official in a local place. I I have already  I have entered the Qintian Academy, and under Dr. Zai Zai Fangstudyingstudying physics"

    The merchants looked at each other in blank dismay, they didn't expect to try for the third place, but stuttered.  Moreover, he does not intend to be released as an official, and will stay in Qintianyuan in the future to study the physics of Nao Shizi.

    This kind of person definitely has no future, and will come here in his lifetime.

    For the present paper, Pu Jian is to improve the method of drying salt at this time.

    In fact, due to the adoption of the government-supervised and commercial-run model, the salt-making technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and the sun-dried salt technology has become more and more mature and popular.  However, Pu Jian, who has lived in the salt field since childhood, still feels that the salt workers are too hard.

    The thesis has been written to the final stage, but it has not been put into practice, everything is his out of thin air idea.  Due to the high cost of improvement, no saltworks owner is willing to cooperate with the experiment.

    This is a revolutionary improvement. The current sun-dried salt method is called soaking brine and sun-dried salt.  It is necessary to spread ash or scrape soil to make brine. This step is very laborious and the output is not very high.

    theThe invention of Pujian is the "beach drying method", which does not need to be soaked with brine, which greatly reduces the manpower and material resources required for making brine.  While reducing costs, it can also increase salt production. Historically, this method of salt production was not popularized in Shandong until the Xianfeng period.  Moreover, it is only popularized in Shandong, and has not been extended to saltworks across the country.

    After finishing the thesis and waiting for the imperial examination, Pu Jian was a little bored, so he showed the thesis to his teacher Fang Yizhi to have a look.

    Fang Yizhi also knew something about salt making. After reading it carefully, he was immediately shocked: "If this method can be promoted, it will definitely benefit the country and the people. Don't wait for the palace test, I will take you to the palace to face the saint immediately! Zhao Han is right  Pu Jian said: "You don't need to take the imperial examination, you are the number one scholar in this subject, and this paper is your imperial examination essay.  You go to the Changlu salt field immediately, and I will order the local officials to cooperate and first verify your beach drying method.  If it fails, summarize the reasons and give you five years to do it.  If it succeeds, then slowly improve it and leave you as a salt maker in Changlu Salt Field!  "

    The emperor is the biggest, and the emperor has the final say.

    Candidates who are admitted by the general examination are 100% able to become Jinshi, and the palace examination is just a ranking.

    Whoever Zhao Han wants to be the champion, as long as he does not turn in a blank paper in the palace examination, he can be directly selected as the champion.  That being the case, then Pu Jian does not need to take the palace examination, this paper is his palace examination article.

    "Salt-making envoy" is not a serious official position, but Zhao Han's temporary invention, which can be understood as "ambassador for the improvement and promotion of salt-making technology".

    In this way, some candidates may be dissatisfied, but who dares to say no?

    Zhao Han did it purely on purpose, to show his emphasis on technology.  With Pu Jian as an example, there will be more students in the future to study the technology that benefits the country and the people, instead of thinking about studying Confucian classics all day long.

 Text 809 [Crying at the door and knocking on the que]

    "The Scholars Pick Up Fun" magazine.

    This magazine was originally a quarterly magazine. Due to its outrageous remarks, which often alluded to imperial policies, it was quite popular among traditional literati.  Therefore, it was quickly changed to a bimonthly, and then to a monthly.

    ?From the sales point of view, it is actually not as good as the tabloids listed in the well, and ordinary people don't like this kind of thing.  But the advantage is that the readership is fixed, the sales volume has been rising steadily, and the magazine has a particularly large number of diehard fans.  After this newspaper debate, the sales of "Schools of Scholars" even exceeded the 5,000 mark, and even people in surrounding provinces subscribed.

    A single issue can sell 5,000 copies, which is already a best-selling publication!

    Zhang Tianzhi came over happily with a manuscript: "Go to play brother, yesterday a Confucian scholar volunteered to contribute, I finished the novel overnight, it was really soul-stirring!"

    "We don't accept novels," Zhai Wenben reminded.

    Zhang Tianzhi said: "This novel is different. It's about a prominent family in a certain place in Henan. They passed on poems and rites to their families for generations.  , recruiting soldiers to defend the city and serve the country, the children of the clan are all loyal and brave. When the Tartars entered the customs, they scattered all their wealth to fight against the Houjin. Many sons of the clan died in battle, and many female relatives of the clan died. The remaining clansmen finally fled to the south.  Followed the Datong army and returned to Henan, and was sent away afterward, and the family field can't go down!"

    Zhang Tianzhi did not refute, but did not agree either.  His family was given away the land, and he himself was too old to take the imperial examination, and he couldn't bear the fact that the former house slave didn't take him seriously.  In this novel, he has a sense of substitution, and he really doesn't want to change a single word.

    Zhai Wenben persuaded: "Brother, my family has also been divided. Can't I understand your feelings? The novel must be changed. If you don't want to do it, I will write it. And even if it is changed, you can understand it."  Readers can still understand and empathize."

    "Okay, it's up to you to change it." Zhang Tianzhi chose to compromise.

    Before Zhang Tianzhi started writing, his partner Li Xun pushed the door open and entered.

    Li Xun said happily: "Good news, there is not a single female tribute in this exam, and all the girls have failed."

    "Great kindness!"

    Zhang Tianzhi clapped his hands in praise, and said: "We should take advantage of the victory and write a few more articles, discussing the whole process of this test, and discussing that women are not suitable for imperial examinations to be officials! Let's write one each, and then ask friends to write a few more, and choose the best one."  Two articles will be published in the next issue.”

    The three of them were very happy, the sales of the newspaper had increased, and there was hope for the victory of the debate.

    Li Xun laughed and said: "Tonight I will be the host, and I will go to Xuanwu Lake for a boat trip. I will invite famous prostitutes to join in the fun, and you and my brother will play the fou and sing songs. This happy event will be a big white song!"

    The imperial examination cheaters seized the places.  "

    "Is there really any fraud in the imperial examination?" Zhai Wenben's eyes lit up when he heard that.

    "It's absolutely true!" The Guangxi student who failed the exam said with certainty.

    Li Xun said: "Tonight I will be drinking in the east, and all the students will go to Xuanwu Lake to have a drink together. I will talk about what is going on in the boat."

    Zhai Wenben and Zhang Tianzhi were conceited about their talents, but they could not take the imperial examination because they were too old.  Now that running a magazine has sparked public opinion, they can't help but feel a little smug, and even call themselves "white censors" in private.

    Baiyi, that is, common people, is the common people, and they want to serve as censors among the people!

    At the beginning of March, the palace examination was officially held.

    On the same day, "Scholars Picking Up Interests" was published.  Two of the articles unilaterally declared victory in the pen battle, using "facts" to prove that women are not suitable for the imperial examination to be officials.

    These two articles are nothing.

    Another article reported that Zhang Xiliang, Xieyuan from Hubei two years ago, discussed whether it was reasonable to give scholars only one qualification for the examination because his bad stomach affected his performance in the examination.

    Another article questioned last year's Guangxi "rural examination" fraud, and the son of a wealthy businessman obtained the content of the test paper in advance.

    At this moment, the students who failed the examination have not yet left Nanjing, waiting for the Ministry of Officials to assign them the positions of low-ranking miscellaneous officials.  As soon as the report came out, it immediately caused a sensation among the students who failed the exam. Those who cared about it hurriedly asked the guards of the imperial city to report it, and asked His Majesty the Emperor to make a decision in person.

    Yan Yuandian got the first place in the second-class examination. He was very puzzled and said: "It is necessary to thoroughly investigate the fraud in the imperial examination, but why do these failed scholars come to ask for an increase in the number of examinations? Your Majesty has already been very gracious!"

    Zhao Han has been adjusting, and this time the trial will be more favorable than the last time.

    ? During the first general examination, those who passed the Jinshi examination could only be released as eighth-rank officials.  Among the students who failed the rankings, public-funded college students can be released to the ninth-rank official, and self-financed college students can only go to the provincial government official examination.

    This time belongs to the second session of the general examination, and the adjustment is as follows: the highest Jinshi can be released from the seventh rank.  Unsuccessful students do not distinguish between public expenses and self-funded students, as long as they get a university diploma,Can be released as a ninth-rank official.  College dropouts, instead of being able to take the provincial government official examination, are given priority in being admitted as provincial government officials.

    Since the students who failed the exam can become ninth-rank officials, why bother to take the exam again?

    If multiple exams are allowed, you have to wait three years for one exam and six years for two exams.  If you fail the exam three times in a row, nine years are gone.  With those nine years spent on exams, it's better to be a ninth-rank official directly, maybe you will be promoted to seventh-rank by then.

    Yan Yuan thought this way, but the students who failed the exam thought differently.

    They still retain the concept of imperial examinations from the Ming Dynasty, thinking that only Jinshi and officials can have a future.

 Text 810 [The emperor has many bad ideas]

    ,

    The Guangxi imperial examination fraud case involved the officials of the Procuratorate, so the case was handed over to Dali Temple for full jurisdiction.

    Dali Temple is equivalent to the highest court in the country.

    "Your Majesty, the preliminary trial of the Guangxi imperial examination fraud case has ended, and officials will be sent to Guilin to investigate the case."

    "let it go."

    Before Zhao Han, there were only three transcripts of the parties involved.

    The university graduation examinations in each province have been combined with the provincial examinations (provincial examinations).  University presidents can only arrange and organize exams, and are not qualified to invigilate the exams in person, or even get access to the exam questions in advance.  There are three real examiners, one is the chief judge of the province, one is Yuanwailang sent by the Ministry of Rites, and the other is the Qingzheng Yushi sent by the Procuratorate.

    Zhao Han carefully read the three transcripts and was basically able to determine that the fraud case was fake.

    ?Because the test papers were taken from Nanjing to various examination centers by Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites.  On the day of the exam, in addition to the three examiners, the president of the university and the head of the auditorium of the province must be present.  Only when all five people are present can the sealed test paper be opened. After the approval is correct, the five people will stamp their seals together and start the test.  However, if any problem is found in the test paper, the test must be terminated.

    Something went wrong, and all five of them lost their jobs together!

    The sealing of the test papers was done together by the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment, and it was stamped with the seals of the three ministers.  There are also three layers of sealing. The test paper is sealed once, the outer waterproof oil paper is sealed once, and the outermost box is also sealed.  Each layer is sealed with three big seals, and only the outermost layer is allowed to be damaged by wind and rain.

    The printing of the test papers is carried out by the Si Li Jianjing Factory, and the whole process is carried out in the Forbidden City.  Therefore, the first seal of the test paper still bears the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies.

    If the question can be released in advance, the problem will really explode, and a lot of officials will be investigated and dealt with.  The Superintendent of Rituals, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Punishment, the Procuratorate, the Guangxi Grand Court, the Guangxi Hall of Ceremony, the president of Guilin Universityall will be severely investigated.

    If there is really fraud in the imperial examination, it will not be leaking the questions, but inviting someone to take the exam for him!

    Chief Assistant Song Yingxing said: "Your Majesty, this matter must be strictly investigated, not only the fraud case, but also those scholars who knocked on the gate! When is it not good to knock on the gate, we must call Donghua on the day of Donghuamen's call."  The door is completely blocked, and Jinshi of the current department is blocked in the door and cannot get out. If there is no severe punishment, what is the majesty of the court?"

    In the reform of the Ministry last year, three more cabinet ministers were added, and Zhu Shunshui has also joined the cabinet.  He said: "Kouque scholars should indeed be punished, but they should not be forced blindly, otherwise it will be difficult to block the mouths of the world. Many of them were just bewitched. They heard that there was a fraud case in the imperial examination, and they came to Koque with enthusiasm.  The minister thought that it was enough to punish those who took the lead in causing trouble and collaborating with others, and there was no need to punish all the scholars who knocked on the queue.

    Xiao Huan, who also joined the cabinet last year, disagreed with Zhu Shunshui's opinion: "Your Majesty, I feel that it should be strictly dealt with. Anyone who participates in knocking down the que is not allowed to be an official. However, their careers cannot be cut off and they are allowed to participate in the provincial government.  Examination for official officials in the government."

    Chen Maosheng stood up and said: "The people who knocked on the que this time are mostly scholars who have failed. They only think about the title of Jinshi, and they would rather waste time and repeat the imperial examination, delay a few years before releasing seven or eight ranks, rather than go from nine ranks  Officials start with a down-to-earth attitude. This kind of scholar will become an official, and he will not be a good official! Also, this imperial examination has been more generous than it was three years ago. The ranks of the first-ranked and second-ranked Jinshi have been raised.  Let self-funded university graduates also have the qualifications to be released. The imperial court is already making concessions, and the scholars who fail the exam will press harder. If the imperial court makes further concessions, I don’t know what unreasonable demands will be made in the next imperial examination!"

    "What are you going to do?" Zhao Han asked.

    Chen Maosheng said: "Those who participated in knocking down the gate will all have their honors revoked. Their university diplomas will be taken back. Not only will they not be able to be officials anymore, they will not even be allowed to take the official examination!"

    "No!"

    The other cabinet ministers objected in unison, and they all disagreed with Chen Maosheng's statement.

    However, Chen Maosheng was firm: "For a Jinshi title, even a ninth-rank official would be disdainful, and would rather take the exam for three, six, nine, or even more than ten years. What is this kind of person an official for? They  Even if you become an official, will you be serious about doing things? Will you plead for the people? No way, you will only form cliques to climb up! If you don’t punish severely, you will definitely fuel the arrogance of this generation, and you will also create unhealthy tendencies in the officialdom.  In the end, it became like the previous Ming Dynasty. The first list looked down on Shuji scholars, the Shuji scholars looked down on ordinary Jinshi, the second list looked down on Jinshi, and the third list Jinshi, and Jinshi looked down on Juren as an official, and Juren looked down on Bagong officials!  , have sex with each other, form cliques, officials and officials protect each other, and form cliques to fight against each other!"

    Everyone is silent, it is not good to argue.

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "So many failed candidates knocked on the que, then I will take another step back"

    "Your Majesty, you must notread.

    There are a few scholars who failed the exam, probably because of their self-confidence, they feel that they have performed abnormally this time, and they will definitely pass the exam next time.  They cheered, knelt down again, kowtowed towards Donghua Gate and shouted: "Your Majesty is holy, long live your majesty, long live, long live!"

    More failed scholars looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless for a long time.

    "Oh, let's go."

    Finally someone left with a sigh, limping due to kneeling for too long.

    For the vast majority of scholars, they dare not gamble their lives at all.  The emperor seems to have given them an unlimited opportunity to take the imperial examination, but the attached conditions are too harsh, and it is very easy to beat them. It is better to become a ninth-rank official after the first exam.

    Moreover, they have no reason to continue the fight.

    The emperor did give him a chance, he did make concessions, and if he continued to make trouble, he would only appear to be unreasonable.

    But the imperial court did not let them go easily. An official from the Ministry of Criminal Justice brought the police over: "There are all of them, go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for questioning. Don't worry, only the leading troublemakers are investigated, and you can report each other. And His Majesty is merciful, only arrest three people,  All the rest are innocent."

    It's over, Zhang Xiliang, who was not performing well in the exam due to illness, was so frightened that he fainted when he heard this—or maybe he was exhausted after kneeling for two days.

    Zhao Han's idea is very simple, if you have a problem, you can go to the shuffle, and the candidates who fail the ranking are also eligible to go to the shuffle.  Connecting hundreds of people in series, you can go to school together, what the hell is it to take the lead in begging for orders?

 Text 811 [Datong Law and Publication Law]

    "The Scholars Pick Up Fun" magazine.

    The atmosphere in the past few days is not very good, and two shareholders are clamoring to withdraw their capital.  It can't be called divestment, it's purely a withdrawal of shares, the money invested in the original is gone, and I want to completely dissociate from the magazine.

    Zhai Wenben, Zhang Tianzhi and Li Xun sat together, frowning.

    Those who cried and knocked on the door were not only those who failed the exam, but also a few former scholars.

    The students who failed the exam were taken to the Ministry of Punishment, and after exposing each other, several leaders were quickly confessed.

    The imperial court also kept its word, and only took back the three most quarreling ones, withdrew their university diplomas, deprived them of their fame, and never used them again.  In addition, there are two leaders who have withdrawn their university diplomas, but their honors are still there, and they can go to the official examination as middle school graduates.

    As for the scholars of the former dynasty who participated, they were not so easily released, and they have been kept in the Ministry of Punishment for repeated interrogations.

    "This morning, the last failed student has been released," Li Xun said worriedly, "but all the scholars from the former court who were arrested are currently being detained. They are not allowed to visit their family members, and they are not even allowed to give money. I don't know how the court will deal with it.  "

    Zhang Tianzhi was still lucky, "All the scholars who failed the exam have been released, and the former scholars should not have any accidents."

    Zhai Wenben said, "In the past two days, my right eyelid has been twitching, and I always feel that a catastrophe is imminent."

    "Go pretend to be brother, don't scare me." There are too many people, and after death, they are frantically smeared by literati writing books.

    In any case, the three people in front of them, the more they thought about it, the more they frightened themselves.

    "Boom!"

    The downstairs door was slammed open, and then there was a noise, and footsteps sounded at the stairway.

    "Dead!" Li Xun was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he shivered on the grand teacher's chair.

    Zhai Wenben also seemed to be discouraged, and muttered to himself, "Today, with a big heart, you really want to kill someone because of your words?"

    "Bang!"

    The door is wide open.

    Several former scholars were escorted in by the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, followed by many policemen.

    A scholar from the former court pointed to Zhang Tianzhi and said, "It was him who got drunk on the boat last year, insulted the Holy Son of Heaven in public, and criticized the imperial court's policy of dividing land. Not only we can testify, but the famous prostitutes in the boat can also testify."

    "I didn't, I didn't!" Zhang Tianzhi stood up in panic, hurriedly defending.

    Another scholar from the former dynasty pointed to Zhai Wenben, "This guy also criticizes the Holy Son of Heaven, saying that the emperor is so confused that he shouldn't have set a time limit for the former scholars to take the imperial examination."

    "Also, this time they cried at the door and knocked on the gate, and they were connected with it. Otherwise, we scholars from the previous dynasty, who did not fail the imperial examination, why should we go to the door together? They said that they should take the opportunity to ask His Majesty for orders, maybe the former court  Everyone can take the exam!"

    If the elders are not wrong, the rod is responsible for sixty!

    Confucianism governs the world with filial piety, and Zhao Han can only modify it to this extent.

    In fact, no matter which dynasty it is in, the legal provisions on swearing are basically not strictly enforced.  When someone scolds, the first reaction is to scold at each other, who is full enough to report to the official?

    "Datong Law" also has clauses criticizing the emperor and the court.

    First, as long as there is conclusive evidence that the person criticizes the emperor and the court (criticism of the local government does not count, local officials can be scolded if they do not do a good job).  Regardless of whether this person is right or wrong, he can be whipped twenty times before he speaks.  If there is a second offense, the sentence will be fixed-term imprisonment for half a year.  Those who refuse to mend their ways will be exiled to the frontier.

    Second, regarding the policy of dividing land, there are open critics.  For the first offense, he will be sentenced to half a year in prison, his meritorious service will be revoked, and he will not be allowed to operate a franchise business.  For the second crime, he was exiled to the frontier.

    Compared with previous dynasties, this is already very benevolent.

    And so far, no one has been punished for this, mainly because no one has reported to the government.  There is no way to prove it when you complain in private - only fools talk in public.

    Zhai Wenben, Zhang Tianzhi, and Li Xun were quickly taken to the Ministry of Punishment, and the famous prostitute was also called in for questioning.

    Dali Temple tried it in person, and found out the details in a few days.

    "Hoo!"

    ?The gavel fell, and the Dali Temple commented in court to appeal for injustice, "I don't accept it, why are the two of them just whipping and fined money, but I have to go to jail for half a year?"

    The judge of Dali Temple said, "Because you criticized Tian Zheng."

    Zhang Tianzhi asked, "Could it be that criticizing Tianzheng is a heavier sentence than criticizing the emperor?"

    The judge of Dali Temple sneered, and patted the "Law of Datong" on the table, "That's how the law is set! What else can you say?"

    Zhang Tianzhi hesitated to speak, but finally did not bite the other two.

    At the same time, Zhai Wenben and Li Xun bowed their heads and dared not speak.  they privately?I have criticized Tian Zheng, but outsiders don't know it. I am afraid that Zhang Tianzhi will confess them.

    "Leave the court, and choose another day to try the case of "Schools of Scholars" again." Dali Temple commented.

    The stone that had just fallen from his heart hung up again, and Li Xun dared to ask, "Have not finished the trial yet?"

    The judge of Dali Temple said, "Your personal case has been closed, and the case of "Schools of Scholars" has not yet been tried. You have jointly run a newspaper, haven't you read the "Fuji Law"? Regarding running a newspaper, the "Fuji Law" has strict rules and regulations.  Regulations. You must not slander others, and you must not discuss government affairs indiscriminately. The Guangxi imperial examination fraud case has basically been found out. This is slander! And you criticize the imperial examination in newspapers, which is a false discussion of government affairs!"

    According to the laws of the Datong New Dynasty, the imperial court and the local government are separated.

    Qinzheng Hall.

    Zhao Han flipped through the manuscript of the novel and asked, "Who is the author of this novel 'Haiyong Sanren'?"

    Huang Zundu replied in detail: "This person's real name is Shen Lu, and he is a descendant of the Shen family of the Eight Great Families of Shangqiu. He joined the Haijin Society in his early years, and the Haijin Society was once merged into the Fushe. The Shen family was still a military household in the early Ming Dynasty, and one branch moved to the  In Shangqiu, there are several Jinshi and dozens of Juren."

    Zhao Han tapped the manuscript: "Is the Shen family as loyal and brave as it is written in the book?"

    Huang Zundu replied: "Plausible, patchwork. When the rogues passed by Shangqiu, the Shen family did recruit soldiers to resist, and dozens of members of the Shen clan died. Because they couldn't beat the rogues, the head clan of the Shen family fled with the whole family.  The rogues left and returned to the village. Later, the bandits in Henan ran rampant, and the Shen family formed a stronghold to protect themselves and colluded with the bandits. When the Tartars came to Henan, the Shen family surrendered.  Secretly contacted our Datong Army. The Shen family did contribute to the battle in Henan, but only passed on some information. After the recovery of Henan, our court did not treat the Shen family lightly.  Multiple."

    "The loyalty and bravery in the book are all made up?" Zhao Han asked.

    Huang Zundu said: "It's all true, but it's not from the Shen family. Shen Lu, the official of the loyal and brave deeds of other big families in Henan, checked the published novels and story books, and checked the operas performed in the Goulan Washe Theater. But there are reversals.  Black and white, but those who distort and slander the Datong Army, mission groups, peasant associations, and land-distributing officials will be severely punished! The literati, actors, and merchants involved will be severely punished! Those who have the worst influence will be hanged. Next, they will be exiled! All exiled to Heilongjiang  , there is a shortage of people there, and the wife and children are exiled together!"

    This time Zhao Han was really angry. The novel was written too disgustingly, and he tried his best to turn black and white.

    A branch of a rich family that annexed land and exploited tenants became the head of a local prominent family in the novel.  Seeing the rogues and Tartars fleeing in anticipation, in the novel they become heroes who killed the enemy and died for the country, and even the women of the clan committed suicide one after another.  Put all the loyal and brave deeds of others on yourself.  He also said that it was a family of good deeds, and that he built bridges and paved roads, which helped countless victims of disasters.  Full fucking fart!

    ?He also made all kinds of insinuations to smear the officials who divided the land, and turned the people's aspirations into people's grievances.

    Even if it is enlarged this time and used by local officials to avenge personal revenge, Zhao Han will have to investigate it nationwide.  If this trend is not stopped, the foundation of the country will be completely ruined in the long run!

    The emperor was angry, and the world boiled.

    ?The first to boil was Nanjing.

    Suddenly, a middle-aged man rushed to Qian Qianyi's sedan chair and knelt down: "Master, please save my master!"

    Qian Qianyi was a little surprised: "Wumei Village was also arrested?"

    "I was just taken away this morning. I beg the shepherd to come into the palace and say something nice for my master." The man kowtowed frantically on the ground.

    Qian Qianyi said: "I will look for opportunities to help, but this matter is quite big, so I may not be able to help."

    "Thank you, shepherd, thank you, shepherd!" The man continued to kowtow.

    Qian Qianyi asked the bearer to move on, but the man kept following, obviously urging him to enter the palace to face the saint.

    Qian Qianyi was a little impatient, so he said to the bearer: "Go to the Forbidden City!"

    This guy waited outside the palace for a long time, and was finally summoned.

    Zhao Han continued to review the memorial, didn't bother to glance at it, and asked, "Who are you here to intercede for?"

    Qian Qianyi shrank his neck and said: "The people who have been arrested are all to blame. How can I plead for such people? I am asking to see you today to report to His Majesty. The annals and tables of "History of the Ming Dynasty" have been edited and proofread. May I ask why?"  When will you send it to His Majesty for a review?"

    "Let someone deliver it tomorrow." Zhao Han said.

    Qian Qianyi resigned immediately, not daring to stay any longer.

    After leaving the palace, he said to Wu Weiye's servant: "I have already persuaded His Majesty, but His Majesty was noncommittal. Go home and wait for the news."

    That man can do it.

    After Wu Weiye was released, he learned from his servant that it was Qian Qianyi who entered the palace to intercede for him.  When I was moved, I prepared a gift and went to visit: "Thank you, Mu Weng, for your generous help!"

    Qian Qianyi didn't explain, but took Wu Weiye's hand earnestly and earnestly: "Meicun, today's emperor is a sage, and Chongzhen is a fool. Even if you don't praise the prosperity of the new dynasty, don't write poems to commemorate the faint emperor of the past.  ah!"

    Wu Weiye said: "What I yearn for is not the faint emperor Chongzhen, but the Three Hundred Years of the Great Ming Dynasty."

    "Confused," Qian Qianyi reprimanded, "now the people live and work in peace and contentment, the generals are victorious in all battles, and the new dynasty of Datong is catching up with the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties. What is there to miss about the decaying Ming Dynasty? You miss the old dynasty, it is better to praise the new dynasty.  "

    Facing his "savior", Wu Weiye couldn't refute, so he just said: "The shepherd taught me the right lesson."

    Qian Qianyi put on a lofty posture: "Since ancient times, there is no benevolent king better than your majesty. Even if he insulted the emperor, he was only whipped for the first time, imprisoned for the second time, and exiled for the third time. When encountering such a benevolent king, he should be punished."  Swearing to serve the imperial court to the death, you actually have the heart to criticize? From my point of view, His Majesty is right to arrest people, and treacherous people should be arrested! Kill a few more, exile a few more, so as to correct the government and the wild!"

    After some agreement, Wu Weiye resigned, and after losing his soul, he can divide the land and settle down. However, the weather is very cold, and I am afraid that many people will get sick.

    This time the case has spread across the country, and it also involves wives and children. It is estimated that the number of exiles will exceed 10,000. The Anton Governor's Mansion (Heilongjiang Capital) finally gained popularity.

    Even the three "Schools of Scholars" were sentenced to exile in Heilongjiang for accepting manuscripts of prohibited novels and apparently planning to publish them.  This matter is obviously illegal, because they haven't published it yet, and they can't say "attempted murder" but treat it as a murderer.

    But if you do special things, you will be exiled!

    Pushed and shoved to board the boat, Zhai Wenben wanted to cry, but said to Zhang Tianzhi beside him: "Brother Zhang, I was hurt by you, why did you accept that novel manuscript?"

    Zhang Tianzhi was dejected and didn't bother to defend himself.

    There were not only the three of them on board, but more than two hundred people with their families, and this was only the first group to be exiled.

    Soon someone recognized them and glared at each other.

    It was these three guys who were messing around and angered the emperor to create a big prison.  It's a pity that they are all educated people, and all of them come from rich families. They don't know how to farm at all, let alone farming in the cold and remote Heilongjiang!

    If it wasn't for the small population of Heilongjiang, in order to enrich the Han people, the Anton Governor's Mansion would definitely prepare enough food and quilts for them, then, so

 Text 813【All of them】

    Zhenjuan 1 Sleepy Shoal 813 "Your Majesty, the Governor of Luzon sent someone to report that the Sultanate of Nanbawa had discovered a gold mine. The sultan of that country was unable to mine, so he went to Brunei to hire dozens of Han people and succeeded in mining the gold mine in one fell swoop. The Han people in Luzon  Hearing this, they crossed the sea to go to gold mining, leaving at least hundreds of people every month. As a result, there were not many Han people on Luzon Island, but because of the Nanbawa gold mines, there are fewer and fewer."

    "Secondly, the Netherlands is also eyeing the Nambawa gold mine. But the Netherlands is short of manpower. It must first conquer the Nambawa Sultanate before arresting the natives to mine the gold mines. At the end of last year, the Netherlands sent 300 troops and was captured by the Nambawa Sultanate.  Repel. The Sultan of Nanbawa is afraid that he will come again, so he seeks the help of the Sultanate of Sanfa, the Sultanate of Landak, and the Sultanate of Brunei. All the countries in Borneo are afraid, and they ask the Governor of Luzon to send troops.”

    "Nambawa Sultanate, because of its small size, dare not fall to any side. Now it has been invaded by the Netherlands, and has sent envoys to Luzon, asking His Majesty to be the king, and willing to submit the whole country to our Datong court."

    Throughout Kalimantan, there are a bunch of sultanates, many of which have become vassal states of Datong China.

    As for this Nanbawa gold mine, it has also caused a sensation in history.

    The country is a port city-state, centered on the city, and its territory does not radiate far to the surrounding area.  Sudan doesn't even have miners available, so it has to go to Brunei to find Chinese miners.  At that time, China was under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a large number of landless farmers flocked from Guangdong. At least 2,000 people arrived every spring, and hundreds of people returned home with gold in summer.

    ?Numba, the news of the gold production became more and more evil as it spread. In less than a hundred years, there were more than 100,000 Chinese there.  Later, instead of mining gold, they went there to do business and farm with the ties of clan and fellow villagers.  The famous "Lanfang Republic" was established on the basis of these Han people.

    Today, the two provinces of Fujian and Guangdong widely divide the land, and there are no farmers who have lost their land. Therefore, there are not many people who go to sea to mine gold.  There are also one or two hundred people going south every month, all of whom are unwilling to be lonely and want to make a fortune with gold.  But Luzon Island is very embarrassing. Most of the Han people there are adventurers and are losing their population at a rate of hundreds per month. The Governor of Luzon is already in a hurry.

    Zhao Han said: "Order the Ministry of Rites to engrave the golden seal of the king of Nanbawa, and condemn the envoys to canonize the king and his son. Luzon's army, don't dispatch it for now. First note to the Dutch that Nanbawa is a vassal state of China. Once the Netherlands invades Nanbawa  Wow, it is equivalent to tearing up the contract and going to war with China. If the Netherlands sends troops, it will not be too late for Luzon to send troops. Then order the Governor of Palembang, once the war starts, immediately send troops to harass Batavia."

    Kalimantan Island has a tropical rainforest climate, and the number of Han people is small, so the development speed is very slow.  Therefore, Zhao Han never thought about occupying, but kept recruiting younger brothers and recruiting vassal states, focusing on developing Luzon.

    Now that this incident has suddenly appeared, it must be intervened, and the Dutch cannot be allowed to interfere with the island.

    But there is no need to be too active. Who knows when the Netherlands will come again, and sending troops to stay for a long time is too expensive.  It is best to be able to intimidate the Netherlands diplomatically. If you can't be scared, you can go to war with each other. It is best if the Sudan is killed by the Dutch and takes the opportunity to occupy this city-state.

    In the Sultanate of Nambawa, the land is fertile and can grow food.

    Farther south, in the Landak Sultanate, Pontianak, the capital of the "Lan Fang Republic", the alluvial plains there are more fertile.

    The two places are not far apart, so they can be occupied and connected together, and they can also be self-sufficient in food.

    The gold mine is second to none. The main focus is on its sea trade transportation location, which can establish the "Palembang-Pontianak-Luzon-Taiwan-Fujian" route.

    In addition, it can also form the iron triangle of "Malacca-Palembang-Pontianak". If any one is attacked, the other two can quickly provide support.

    "Numba, wow, that's the deal, let those three come in." Zhao Han said.

    Yan Ruoqi, who was disqualified from the imperial examination, and Yan Yuan, the first Jinshi in the second class of the current subject, and Tang Zhen, the seventh Jinshi in the second class, were taken to the hall by the female officials.

    ? After the adjustment of the policy of Jinshi in the new department, the three in the first list and the Shujishi can already be released from the seventh rank.  But you must first observe politics in the cabinet, and only after the internship period expires can you be released to work as Cong Qipin.

    From the seventh-rank officials, there are not only county magistrates, but also other yamen officials at all levels.  For example, the governors and deputy governors of provincial yamen, the master book of local horse breeding institutions, the experience and deputy nominations of local salt yamen, the state judges of directly governed states, and so on.  These are all positions that have to deal with actual government affairs and exercise their ability to handle affairs.

    ?Every imperial examination champion, second place, Tanhua, and Shujishi will first practice in the cabinet center, and then be sent to the local area to do training from the seventh rank, and then promoted to be a county magistrate.  The promotion route for the first few years was designed in this way.

    The Jinshi on the second list can be released to the outside world.

    Officials of this rankstop.

    Zhao Han looked at Yan Ruoqi again: "You have made great contributions to your suggestions and regained your qualifications for the imperial examination. I hope you will have a good life and contribute to the country in the future."

    "Your Majesty is holy!"

    Yan Ruoqi was so excited that he forgot the rules, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.

    The three of them bowed and exited the hall, their joy was beyond words.  As for the arrest of literati by the imperial court, they didn't bother to pay attention to them. Who would care about those poor scholars who would become officials in the future.

    After more than half a month of arrest, the actions inside and outside Nanjing were finally stopped by the emperor.  More than 2,100 people were exiled to Heilongjiang, including their wives and children.  There are such a large number because there are too many "Beijing drifters", and many wealthy literati who cannot be officials have come to Nanjing to mix in the cultural and entertainment circles.

    However, the arrest operation in Jinling Mansion is still going on, and the bookstores in the surrounding counties are no longer able to operate normally.

    Everyone is in danger, and many people run away, and some even cross the sea to Japan and North Korea.  Settling in Japan and North Korea is better than exile in Heilongjiang, which was too cold during the Little Ice Age.  There are also those who change their names and surnames and go to Luzon, and they can spend money to become landlords in Luzon.

    The orders of the imperial court are being implemented in various provinces one after another, and the folk scholars are made to feel insecure.

    Zhao Han's evaluation in the minds of literati is falling off a cliff.  But the effect is obvious, and too obvious, the literary creation and publishing industry has suffered a very serious blow.  Even some academic schools dare not talk nonsense anymore.  A prosperous cultural and ideological circle seems to have suddenly encountered a cold winter.

    For this phenomenon, Zhao Han can only let the "Datong Monthly" take action.

    First, the official reprint of Chen Que's article not only encourages and supports relevant ideas, but also shows an attitude that it will not randomly attack academic discussions.  As long as Tian Zheng is not criticized, as long as black and white are not confused, academic circles can continue to argue.

    Second, publish a commentator's article to clarify the reasons for the revival of the prison.  List the bad deeds of the author Shen Lu, who inverts black and white in her works, smears indiscriminately, and uses other people's heroic actions to put gold on her own family's face.  And once again reiterated that there should be no criticism of Tian Zheng, Tian Zheng is the foundation of the new dynasty of Datong.

 Text 814 [Businessman's needs]

    ,

    The new idea of ??industrial development is to relax the use of urban industrial land.

    This policy will definitely be taken advantage of by some people to annex land in disguised form near towns.  This is the case with any policy, and it cannot be avoided at all. We can only strengthen the supervision of relevant parties, although it is certainly impossible to supervise.

    Cities and towns with geographical advantages will stand out sooner or later under the influence of objective laws.

    ? Location advantages, including transportation, resources, manpower, etc.

    Just like Jiangning Town in the west of Nanjing, the specific address is probably between the urban areas of Nanjing and Ma'anshan in later generations.  It seems that the two are incompatible, but it is backed by the Yangtze River, and there is a small river flowing from Jilong Mountain.  At present, the remaining textile industry in Nanjing has been undertaken. As long as the opening of the land grant is released, the textile industry will surely flourish rapidly and form a large textile industry town.

    It will compete with Nanjing for various industrial resources, and it will definitely interfere with each other at the beginning.  But when the technology is sufficient, the resources are left, and the means of transportation are developed, it will be connected with Nanjing to form a ring-Nanjing textile industry belt.

    More obvious is in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Gaoqiao Town in Wuxi.  It's only a waterway town at the moment, but it's at the confluence of two canals.  One canal connects Jiaxing, Wujiang, Suzhou, Wuxi, Changzhou, Danyang and Zhenjiang, and the other connects Jiangyin to the Yangtze River.  In addition, there are two rivers that can connect to Taihu Lake, and the surrounding areas are all cotton-producing areas. Once the land grants are released, the industrial location advantage will come immediately.

    There are many such small towns in the south of the Yangtze River, which are full of flowers and compete with each other, stimulating the progress of textile technology. In the end, the winner will be determined in a gu-style manner. The market and capital will automatically adjust and run to form an industrial package.  For example, some small towns mainly focus on spinning; some small towns focus on weaving; some small towns focus on dyeing.  When the various small towns unite, the conditions for large-scale industrial production will be created.

    So far, there is and only Jiangnan can reach this level, what is lacking is only technological progress.

    ?Su, Song, Chang, Hu, Hangzhou, and Jialiufu are probably the most densely populated areas in the world today. There are many towns and cities, all of which have handicraft industries and are connected by complex water networks

    Mughal Empire, India, Bay of Bengal, Hooghly Harbor.

    The accelerated prosperity of China's cotton textile industry has clearly affected here.

    Decades ago, Hooghly was not under the direct control of the Mughal emperors.  People of all ethnic groups in India who fled during the war gathered here to form many communities.  The Portuguese also formed two communities, which eventually merged into one city and even built the Portuguese Wall.

    This is not a colony, but a leased land, similar in nature to Macau.

    ?Because of Portugal's generous tax payments, local officials are happy to see the results, and the two sides have lived in peace for decades.

    More than 20 years ago, that is, the early years of Chongzhen.

    Chongzhen, who had just succeeded to the throne, was facing a severe drought in Shaanxi.  Shah Jahan, who succeeded to the throne at that time, faced a severe drought in the Mughals.  The Ming Dynasty and the Mughal Empire experienced severe droughts on a large scale almost at the same time—the climate was abnormal during the Little Ice Age, and no one was spared. At that time, Japan and North Korea also suffered famines.

    Years of famines in the Mughal Empire, people cannibalized each other, and many villages went extinct.

    Internal troubles are also accompanied by foreign troubles. Shah Jahan, who had just ascended the throne, got the same script as Chongzhen.  Rebels appeared in the west of the empire, and the Sultanate of the Deccan Plateau was also making trouble, and there was still a war with the Persian Empire in the west.

    As a result, the prosperous Hooghly Port was targeted, and the fat pig of Portugal could be slaughtered.

    Of course, the teacher must be famous, and Shah Jahan also charged the Portuguese: slave trading and preaching!

    In fact, the Mughal Empire itself traded slaves and agreed to the mission of Portugal long ago. Portugal was really labeled for no reason this time.

    An army of 10,000, 400 warships, a large number of war elephants and artillery, marched mightily towards Hooghly Harbor.  The Portuguese in the city had less than 300 soldiers and more than 1,500 civilians and missionaries.

    With such a disparity in strength, the Mughal army was still unable to break through the city wall, and surrounded it until the Portuguese ran out of ammunition and food.

    The Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, won a "brilliant victory" but didn't seem too happy.  In the past year alone, the Mughals took the initiative to show favor to Portugal, not only releasing all captives, but also granting a large amount of land to the Portuguese to rebuild their communities, and even granting the Portuguese 17 commercial and religious privileges.

    Why is this so?

    ?Because the Portuguese were driven away, not a grain of food was grabbed, and the spoils of war were not enough to cover the war expenses.  Moreover, domestic goods cannot be transported from the Bay of Bengal, not only losing the commercial tax paid by the Portuguese, but also causing a large number of domestic handicraftsmen to lose their jobs.  A big victory made the Mughal economy worse.

    &nbsp; Invited the Portuguese back for three years, but Hooghly Port recovered too slowly. Shah Jahan was very annoyed, and drove the Portuguese away again, and contracted all the relevant land to the Dutch.

    The Dutch have been operating the port for twenty years, and now they are finally thriving again.

    But the Dutch were too arrogant and domineering. Shah Jahan felt that the British were good, so he agreed with the British to establish a trade point in Hooghly.

    Cotton weaving is the most important industry of the Mughal Empire, bar none!

    The Portuguese, British and Dutch bought cotton cloth in Hooghly Harbor, sold it to Southeast Asia for pepper, or bought Chinese goods.

    Today, due to the improvement of spinning machines and looms in China, even a few of them still use primitive steam engines.  The production efficiency of cotton cloth textiles has increased rapidly, and the cost has continued to drop. Although it will not impact the Indian market, it has completely seized the Southeast Asian market of Indian cotton cloth!

    Indian cotton cloth cannot be sold in Southeast Asia.

    At the same time, China's cotton textile industry is constantly experiencing shortages of raw materials.  As a result, Portugal, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands began to purchase large quantities of cotton or cotton yarn in Bangladesh and southeastern India.  They transported cotton and cotton yarn to Banten and Batavia, where the Han merchants shipped them to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for sale.

    ?In the past two years, since Malacca was occupied by China, Guangdong maritime merchants began to have the idea of ??Indian cotton.

    ?Guangdong maritime merchants set up a station in Malacca, and first went to Hooghly Port to buy cotton.  The maritime trade business here is jointly occupied by the Netherlands and the United Kingdom (mainly the Netherlands, but the United Kingdom has the Mughal emperor's side).  Local officials took bribes and refused to contact Chinese businessmen. Guangdong maritime merchants could only continue southward.

    Finally, in the country of Tanjore on the southeast coast, through the Portuguese, the merchants from Guangdong successfully bought the first batch of Indian cotton.

    ? Following the Chinese mission to Mughal, the Mughal emperor also agreed to Sino-Indian trade.  Only then did Guangdong merchants successfully enter Hooghly Port, but the share of cotton was still small, mainly because it was snatched away by Dutch merchants.

    "Why has the price of cotton increased again?"

    Hooghly Harbor, a Chinese businessman, was complaining to his interpreter.

    The translator explained: "Cotton sales are tight, and Britain and the Netherlands are also vying for it. Mughal merchants have no worries about selling, so they sit down and raise prices, and the Dutch are also angry about it."

    A Chinese businessman named Chen Liangxi came from Xiangshan, Guangdong.  He is only responsible for buying Indian cotton, and occasionally buying cotton yarn, which is unloaded when it arrives in Guangzhou, and then transferred to Jiangsu and Zhejiang by other merchants.

    Chen Liangxi said angrily: "Even if the price is increased, it can't be increased by so much. It has increased by 50% all of a sudden. When I ship it back to China, how can I make any money?"

    The translator said: "Businessmen here never talk about credibility, as long as there is a bargain, they will make money to death."

    After negotiating repeatedly for several days, Chen Liangxi finally bought cotton, but the price was so outrageous that the profit was already negligible.

    Both Chinese and British merchants could not accept the high cotton price, but the Dutch actually agreed.

    There are a large number of ships from the Netherlands to Batavia every year from the Bay of Bengal.  There are not many goods that can be sold, as long as there is a small profit, it is better than running an empty ship.  Moreover, a price war can be fought to drive away the British and Chinese who trade here.  It is not too late to lower the price after a monopoly is formed!

    A businessman from the British East India Company took the initiative to find Chen Liangxi: "Chen, China is so powerful, Chinese businessmen should go to meet the emperor. Ask the emperor of China to send troops to drive the Dutch out of Batavia. In that way, you can be in India.  By buying cheap cotton, we can also get more spices in Java."

    Chen Liangxi sighed with emotion: "His Majesty the Emperor of China has a lot of affairs and is busy with government affairs. How can he raise troops because of us businessmen?"

    But the British businessman said: "The monarch of a country should open up markets for businessmen. I heard that the Chinese emperor is very wise and intelligent, and he will definitely help drive away the Dutch. Didn't China and the Netherlands fight a few wars a few years ago?  You have occupied Malacca."

    Chen Liangxi was thoughtful.

    Returning to Guangzhou with cotton, Chen Liangxi went to find his employer.  He is just an errand, the real boss, and it is impossible to go to India to buy goods in person.

    "Boss, the Dutch colluded with Mughal officials and businessmen in Hooghly Harbor to raise the price of cotton and cotton yarn," said Chen Liangxi. "The Dutch were ambitious and wanted to monopolize the cotton trade. They will drive us away before lowering the price. Let them go."  In this way, there is no need for Hooghly's business to run away, and he will not make much money after working hard."

    The owner's name was Chen, and he asked, "What do you think?"

    Chen Liangxi said: "Connect with the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and let your Majesty do the same. Your Majesty, please send troops to capture Batavia in one fell swoop. As long as the Netherlands loses Batavia, the Dutch will not be able to gain a foothold, and they will no longer be able to compete with us for business."

    Chen frowned and said: "This matter is not easy to handle. First, the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River may not want to join forces with us; second, the imperial court will probably not send troops because of this."

    Chen Liangxi said: "Textile merchants in Jiangnan are often short of cotton. Especially after Shandong recovers, Shandong is also building textile factories, and Shandong's cotton sales to Jiangnan are getting less and less. We help Jiangnan merchants buy Indian cotton. The most beneficial thing is  They, why don't they want to help? As for the court, let's see what His Majesty will do."

    Chen thought about it left and right, slapped his fist and said, "Then give it a try!"In Davia, the Dutch will not be able to gain a foothold, and they will no longer be able to compete with us for business.  "

 Text 815 [One country and two genera]

    ,

    Last year, the land administration was rectified and the land was cleared across the country. In ancient times, the land clearing was always accompanied by a population check.

    Today, the Ministry of Household Affairs has handed over a summary, and the population in the south is increasing too fast!

    The last census was conducted five years ago. There were 86.77 million people (over 12 years old) in the whole country, and now it has soared to 99.15 million people (including newly occupied areas such as Vietnam, excluding overseas territories such as Luzon).

    The average annual population growth rate has been above 2.5%.

    Jiangsu's population growth rate is the fastest and has remained above 2.9% for a long time. The population of the province has exceeded 9 million. The surrounding area of ??Nanjing is Jinling Prefecture, which is directly administered by the central government and is not under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu.  However, Shanghai and its surrounding areas are under the jurisdiction of Jiangsu Province.

    Excluding the urban population without land, Jiangsu farmers have about 8 mu of arable land per capita.

    It seems that there is a lot of arable land per capita, but it includes a lot of coastal saline-alkali land.  Moreover, there are many rich families in Jiangsu. As long as they honestly hand over their land property, each person can keep 20 acres of good land. This 20 acres of good land per capita can be converted into more bad land.  Therefore, the per capita arable land of ordinary farmers must be less than 8 mu.

    Furthermore, because children do not register for household registration until they are 12 years old, farmers have a lot of children in their families.  If children are included, the per capita arable land of ordinary farmers in Jiangsu is very likely to be less than 5 mu.

    The Jiangxi side is even more terrifying. Since Zhao Han ruled the earliest and escaped the great famine in the late Ming Dynasty, the population did not drop as sharply as the Jiangxi side. Although they continued to migrate to the north, the current population has exceeded 10 million.  On paper, the per capita arable land area of ??farmers is less than 6 mu (excluding children under the age of 12), which also includes a large amount of mountainous land.

    In addition, there are many nobles in Jiangxi, such as Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu, whose military merits have exceeded the limit of 100 mu per capita, and a large number of soldiers have also been granted land due to meritorious service.  In some families with many children in Jiangxi, after the children are 12 years old and registered, the per capita arable land in the family is less than 3 mu.

    Jiangxi has many mountains and little land, how much food can be grown in a few acres of mountain land?

    The people in those mountainous areas still eat sweet potatoes and corn as their staple food, and they can't afford rice at all.  The more children you have, the more difficult life is for a farmer.

    More and more farmers in Jiangxi, because of their limited land resources, are scrambling to farm the land of nobles and rich families.  In recent years, the nobles who have given more land and the rich families who have reserved more land no longer need to buy foreign slaves to farm the land.  There are also many young farmers who came out of the mountains, handed over the land to their father and brother for farming, and went to work in the county town by themselves.

    Fujian is even worse, with less arable land but a growing population.

    In the case of only a few acres of land per capita, and most of them are mountainous, more and more farmers in the coastal areas of Fujian go to sea to run boats.  But they are unwilling to immigrate, even the nearest Taiwan, they do not want to emigrate there, and always keep their household registration on the mainland.

    Taiwan Prefecture is currently under the jurisdiction of Fujian. In addition to Taiwan Island, Ryukyu County and Fangzhang County established in Ryukyu are also under the jurisdiction of Taiwan Prefecture.

    Zhao Han said to Guo Shunyu, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs: "Immigrants to the north were suspended last time, but the south still cannot stop. There are too few Han people in Taiwan, especially in Ryukyu and Fangzhang counties. The total number of Han people in the two counties is only more than 30,000.  Fujian and Guangdong provinces will immigrate 50,000 people to Taiwan within three years."

    "Abiding by the order!" Guo Shunyu cupped his hands.

    Zhao Han thought for a while, and continued: "Jiangxi has too many people, and 10,000 people emigrate to Hebei every year."

    Zhao Han still takes good care of the people in Jiangxi. After all, it is the land of Longxing, and he can't bear to immigrate to the remote and bitter Liaoning.

    Hebei is an excellent place to immigrate. The current population of the province is only 1.8 million (excluding Beiping Prefecture).  Although it is relatively cold, you can divide the fields when you go there, and they are all divided into good fields, which is much more cost-effective than farming mountainous land in Jiangxi.

    If this growth rate continues, in five years, the national population will be close to 120 million.  In another twenty years, the per capita arable land area in several southern provinces with large populations will fall below 4 mu.  Fifty years from now, the conflict between man and earth will become very tense.

    However, it is a good thing for overseas expansion and industrial development.

    The more tense the conflict between man and land, the more people are willing to go out to sea, and the more people are willing to leave the land and work in factories.

    But if there are too many, it will definitely explode.

    In the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history, the population was counted in the eighth year of Shunzhi, that is, the first two years.  At that time, the population of Dingkou was 10 million, and it can be speculated that the population was about 30 million to 40 million.  After only fifty years, the population of the Qing Dynasty had risen to 80 million.  Fifty years later, the population of the Qing Dynasty soared to 180 million.  Twenty years later, the population exceeded 200 million.

    A population of 200 million is estimated to be the limit of the sweet potato prosperity, and uprisings of various scales will continue to emerge.

    Of course, the population can continue to increase, QingHowever, China's diplomatic note has not yet been sent.

    The gold seal of King Nanbawa engraved by the Ministry of Rites has just been brought to Guangzhou by the envoy.  However, the letter of credence of Sultan Nanbawa has been presented, and he has essentially become a vassal state of China.

    The Dutch army came outside the city of Nanbawa.

    The Sudan of the country was shocked, and quickly sent people out of the city to shout: "Nangbawa has surrendered to China, we are China's vassals, attacking us is a war with China!"

    The Dutch general who returned from the victory in Sri Lanka didn't care about so many, and immediately ordered: "Either submit to the Netherlands, hand over the gold mines, and allow the Netherlands to preach here. Or accept the shelling!"

    ?After several days of shelling, the Sudan couldn't bear it anymore, and actually went out of the city to surrender.

    The Chinese envoys also took the king's golden seal and came to the nearby waters by boat.

    The Dutch warship came, and the two sides communicated, and the Chinese envoy was a little speechless: the king he was ordered to canonize actually returned to the Netherlands.

    One daughter does not marry two husbands, one country cannot have two belongings.

    How should this be calculated?

 Text 816 [The envoys holding the festival are all ruthless people]

    ,

    Liu Hanyi was born in the former Ming Dynasty. If Zhao Han hadn't changed history, he would have died fighting the Qing Dynasty in Licheng, Shandong.

    "Angel Liu, do you want to return to Beijing immediately?" Captain Zhang Yue asked.

    Liu Hanyi slammed the scepter on the deck, and the scepter swayed endlessly.  He stared at the Dutch warship in the distance, gritted his teeth, and said, "Nah, wow, I have become a vassal of the Netherlands. Why should I go back to Beijing to recover my life? If Kuang Hong was sent to Nanyang, if he can take the city of Malacca, I can take that Badawi."  Ya! Do you want to become a marquis at sea?"

    ?From Zhang Dai to Liu Xiangke, and then from Liu Xiangke to Kuang Hong, they all served as envoys and were promoted.

    ? In particular, Kuang Hung gathered the armies of various countries in Southeast Asia on festivals, captured Malacca in one fell swoop, and was reused and promoted to Governor of Palembang.  This incident has irritated many Honglu Temple officials, Liu Hanyi is now full of anger, how can he have the face to go back to Nanjing in despair?  What he wanted was not to occupy Nanbawa, but to take down Batavia directly.

    Zhang Yue was tempted by the "marquis of the sea", and wanted to join in the troubles, and asked: "Then go to Luzon and move reinforcements?"

    However, Liu Hanyi said: "Go to Tong'an, Fujian first!"

    Zhang Yue didn't know why, so he asked, "What are you doing in Tong'an?"

    Liu Hanyi said: "It is impossible for the imperial court to raise troops on a large scale. At most we can mobilize the troops of Luzon and Palembang. This force is not enough to defeat Batavia, so we can only win by strategy. There is an old gentleman in Tong'an who can help  Make an idea."

    "Could it be that there are crouching dragon and phoenix chicks in Tong'an County?" Zhang Yue asked curiously.

    Liu Hanyi complained: "You have watched too much "Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

    Fujian, Quanzhou Prefecture, Tong'an County.

    Su Minggang lived in a mansion in the countryside. The original owner was executed by a public trial when the land was divided in Fujian because of plundering and plundering.

    "My lord, the angel is here!"

    Su Minggang was basking in the sun with his eyes squinted, when the butler rushed in and shouted in an excited tone.

    Angel?

    Su Minggang was overjoyed, could it be that Shangda Tianting was praised by the emperor because of his donation to help his education?  Or, it was the report on Batavia that won him the emperor's favor?

    He stood up tremblingly, and said, "Help me to meet the angel!"

    Su Minggang is 73 years old, and his body is still in good shape.  He put on his glasses as he walked, and sure enough, in the living room, he saw an imperial envoy holding a scepter.

    The emperor's envoy does not use a scepter in the country.

    Well, then, the angel in front of me must be going to sea to handle errands.

    Su Minggang had some calculations in his heart, he cupped his hands and said, "The old man pays homage to Master Angel!"

    "The old man is very polite," Liu Hanyi held the other party's hands and said in a low voice, "Please turn away from the left and right sides."

    Su Minggang understood immediately, and ordered: "You all go down."

    There were only two people left in the house, Liu Hanyi closed the door herself, and watched the idlers wait to go away.

    Su Minggang asked: "The angel wants to attack Bacheng (Batavia)?"

    Liu Hanyi said in surprise: "The old man knows things like a god!"

    Su Minggang shook his head and said with a smile: "I don't have any other skills, but I am more familiar with Bacheng. The angel is holding a scepter, and it seems that he is going to go overseas for an envoy. The combination of the two things means that he is going to attack Bacheng."

    "It's really a Dutchman, and there is Namba wow Sultan, this time he did too much, and he didn't pay attention to the Celestial Dynasty at all!" Liu Hanyi began to explain the specific reasons.

    After hearing this, Su Minggang asked, "How many troops can the Celestial Dynasty send?"

    Liu Hanyi said: "There are 3,000 garrisons in Luzon and 500 garrisons in Palembang. It is impossible to use all the troops in these two places. There can be more than 2,000 soldiers for the siege. Of course, Manila and Palembang  We can also provide some naval soldiers. If it is not enough, we can go to Malacca to borrow 200 troops.”

    Su Minggang was stunned: "Bacheng is the lair of Dutch ghosts, how can this little force be enough?"

    "That's why I came to ask the old man for advice. This battle must use strategy, and it needs the help of the Han people in Bacheng." Liu Hanyi showed a fox-like smile.

    Su Minggang studied in private schools and also learned martial arts. Because of his family's decline, he went to sea to make a living in his teens.

    Thirty-four years ago, the Netherlands occupied Batavia.  At that time, Su Minggang had already started from scratch, owned a sea-going ship of his own, and owned land on the outskirts of Batavia.  He helped the Dutch transport the Han people to build the city. Because of his generosity and righteousness, he stood out among many ship owners and was unanimously supported by the Han people.

    Therefore, Su Minggang was appointed by the governor of the Netherlands as Kapitan to manage the civil affairs of the Han people in Batavia.?? Dissatisfied.  "

    "Wonderful!" Liu Hanyi laughed.

    Su Minggang said: "The old man can write a letter and give it to Quanzi when the angel sends troops to Bacheng. Quanzi will contact the rich Han merchants and landlords in Bacheng. We are unable to help the Datong army attack the city, but as long as the Datong army is willing to pay, we will guarantee  Provide rations for 3,000 soldiers for two years. We can also enlist thousands of civilians to be peasants for the Datong Army, helping to cut down trees, dig ditches, and fill trenches.”

    Liu Hanyi stood up and cupped her hands: "Thank you for your righteousness, old man. After the matter is completed, I will definitely ask for credit for the old man."

    "No, it's enough for me to spend my old age in my hometown." Su Minggang was actually dissatisfied with the Netherlands.  After he left Batavia, the tea was cold, and the new Kapitan was in Batavia to get his hands on the property he left for his son.

    The next day.

    Liu Hanyi carried Su Minggang's personal letter and a scepter in his arms, and boarded the ship again. He still had to persuade the Governor of Luzon and the Governor of Palembang to send troops.

 Text 817【Zhang Huangyan】

    ,

    Manila.

    Zhang Huangyan, Governor of Luzon, personally went to the pier to meet the emperor's envoy.

    After some courtesy, Liu Hanyi was taken to the Governor's Mansion, which is the castle left by the Spaniards.

    Before entering the castle, I heard cheers and shouts from the northeast of the city.

    "Da da da da!"

    As soon as they came riding on a fast horse, the soldiers got off their horses, cupped their hands and said to Zhang Huangyan, "Reporting to the General Command, our army has won a complete victory. Only 6 people were slightly injured, 1 person was seriously injured, and 1 person was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.  Five barbarian villages, more than 300 barbarians were killed, and more than 1,600 barbarians were captured!"

    "good!"

    Zhang Huangyan was very happy.

    Liu Hanyi asked curiously: "There are often wars in Lu Song?"

    Zhang Huangyan explained: "The barbarians in this conquest often attacked the Han farms, and occasionally attacked the indigenous tribes close to the government. The previous governor mainly focused on appeasing, but who knew that the barbarians made more progress. The governor couldn't bear it and launched an army crusade."

    "So that's the case." After hearing this, Liu Hanyi was more confident in persuading Zhang Huangyan to send troops.

    Zheng Guozhong, the previous governor of Luzon, only sent troops once during his seven years in office.  Its main energy is busy with resettling the Han people, educating the aborigines, building ports, building roads, and digging canals. The small frictions on the periphery of the site are often resolved by peaceful means.

    Today's Zhang Huangyan is obviously much tougher, and he sent troops directly after only half a year in office.

    Afraid of being misunderstood by the emperor's envoy, Zhang Huangyan said in more detail: "The natives of Luzon Island are mainly Tagalogs. These Tagalogs are scattered into large and small tribes, and they have no affiliation with each other. They said  People with the same language can farm and weave, and the closer they are to the sea, the easier it is to be civilized. But the more they go to the mountains, the more unruly they are. Every year, they plunder the Han people’s farms, and even hunt the heads of the Han people. The Han people on the border can’t bear it anymore.  Even if I don’t send troops, those Han landlords will unite to conquer.”

    The Tagalog people are the main ethnic group in Luzon Island.

    Tagalog is very close to Miyako.  The Miyako Islands, located between Taiwan and Ryukyu, are currently under the jurisdiction of Ryukyu County.

    The Tagalog people are deeply influenced by Indian culture, and at the same time have been in contact with the Han people for a long time.  The Tagalog people in the coastal areas are extremely civilized and good at planting and weaving. They cannot be regarded as ordinary barbarians. As long as schools are popularized, a large area of ??Sinicization can be achieved in two or three generations.

    Zhang Huangyan took Liu Hanyi to the northeast of the city when he asked to see the triumphant return of the army.

    Small boats returned with soldiers and luggage.  There were also sergeants on the bank, leading the prisoners along the river, and many female prisoners were crying.

    ?The 3,000 Datong Army stationed in Luzon have brought their families to settle here.  Each person gets a full quota of 100 mu of land, and a few family members get hundreds of mu of land. It can be said that all of them belong to small landlords.  If there is a battle loss, recruit troops from the local Han people to supplement.

    The armor of the soldiers has also changed, and they no longer wear cotton armor, because it is too hot and not suitable for combat in tropical areas.  Now they wear all chain armor and chain helmets, and wear a sunshade bamboo hat, and also wear a standard coir raincoat on rainy days. The 100% armor rate is enough to crush the aborigines.

    Liu Hanyi asked: "How to deal with those prisoners?"

    Zhang Huangyan replied: "Priority is sold to soldiers as tenants (essentially serfs), and the rest are sold to local Han people. Children are raised in orphanages and become Han people when they grow up. It's not that the government can't govern benevolently, but  It is this kind of barbarians who are afraid of prestige and do not obey virtue, and plunder farms again and again. Now that they have sent troops, of course they must be done once and for all, and they must not let the captives go back to the mountains."

    "That's true." Liu Hanyi echoed.

    Liu Hanyi pointed at the boat operators again, and asked, "The oarsmen are dark-skinned, aren't they Han Chinese?"

    Zhang Huangyan said: "Most of them belong to Pampanga people. When Spain ruled here, the indigenous servants were all Pampanga people. They can speak Chinese and Spanish. In the Battle of Manila, most of the Pampanga soldiers were killed, and the rest were all loyal.  Subordination. This race is very obedient, and more than 2,000 people have naturalized into Han people one after another. They are afraid that the government will not trust them, so they convert to Mazu one after another, and they even speak Chinese at home.”

    To put it bluntly, it was Mu Qiang.

    In the past, he served as a lackey for Spain and collectively converted to Catholicism.  Now they are acting as lackeys for China and collectively convert to Taoism. The Datong army came to Luzon, and the people who killed the most were the Pampanga people. The more they were killed, the more they would obey the rule of the Han people!

    Today, among the people of Pampanga, being able to speak Chinese can make them superior to others, and they walk with wind on their feet.  On any occasion, they deliberately speak Chinese to show off, and the spread of Chinese is very fast.

    Other tribes still need the persuasion and enlightenment of the government.The castle was built in Nanbawa," Liu Hanyi said, "I don't know how to fight, but I also know the story of besieging Wei and saving Zhao.  Our army went straight to Batavia, and the Dutch defenders of Nanbawa must return to the division to rescue, and Nanbawa will be defeated.  Even if our army can't take Batavia, it's okay to retreat safely, right?  On the way to withdraw troops, you can easily occupy Nanbawa, isn't it easier than directly attacking Nanbawa?  "

    "Indeed." Zhang Huangyan nodded in approval.

    Liu Hanyi continued: "I have already inquired. In order to capture Ceylon, the Dutch sank one warship and severely damaged three warships by the Portuguese. In addition, a few years ago, the Dutch warship was severely damaged by our Datong Navy, and it is still there.  It has not been fully restored. Although the number of ships has been replenished, most of them are converted from merchant ships, and they cannot beat our Datong Navy. As long as the navy of Guangdong, Taiwan, Luzon, Palembang, and Malacca are dispatched, they can suppress the Dutch Navy ships  , successfully sent the army to Batavia to land."

    Zhang Huangyan asked: "Our army is small, how can we capture Batavia?"

    Liu Hanyi said: "There is no need to attack by force. With the support of the local Han people, as long as we give money, we can buy enough food on the spot. Our army is small, and the Dutch have even fewer soldiers. Batavia has only a thousand defenders. They dare not go out of the city to fight.  , can only be surrounded until they run out of ammunition and food."

    Zhang Huangyan added: "The Sultan of Mataram is a puppet of the Dutch. Will Matalam send troops?"

    Liu Hanyi said: "You can incite the nobles in Matalan to rebel. There was a rebellion in the past two years, and the capital of Matalan was occupied, and the old sultan of Matalan was killed. The current sultan of Matalan, the whole country  Only by relying on the support of the Dutch can we quell the uprising and return to the capital. As long as we contain the Dutch, the Matalan nobles will respond. At that time, the Sultan of Matalan will not be able to take care of himself, how can he rescue Batavia?"

    "Since the angels have made up their minds, then I will send troops." Zhang Huangyan is actually unwilling to be lonely, he needs enough reasons to convince himself.

    However, sending troops to Batavia did not disobey the imperial order.

    When Zhao Han issued the order, he took into account the rapidly changing situation, so the military order was very vague, and he gave the frontline governor and officers and soldiers enough autonomy.

 Text 818 [The army is dispatched]

    ,

    Liu Hanyi knew that General Lu Song was a black man, and seeing him now, he really lived up to his reputation, as black as charcoal.

    "General Tie, thank you!" Liu Hanyi cupped her hands.

    Tie Hong also cupped his hands in return: "It's easy to say that they are all serving the country. I just happened to be too idle. Luzon has 3,000 garrisons, and I have to keep 300 to garrison Manila, and another 200 to garrison Tortoiseshell City. I can take two  A thousand men will fight against you."

    "Two thousand people are enough." Liu Hanyi said.

    Zhang Huangyan suddenly said: "There are thousands of Japanese vagrants in Luzon, most of them are employed by Han landlords, and take care of their homes for those landlords. Many of them escaped from Japan alone, and there is no money to marry a wife in Luzon.  Indigenous women are wives, and those who have done meritorious service can be given land, these ronin must be eager to join the army, and they don't even need to be paid."

    "That's great!" Liu Hanyi, like Han Xin, sent as many troops as possible.

    Zhang Huangyan and Tie Hong temporarily stayed in Luzon to recruit Japanese.

    And Liu Hanyi went to Taiwan to persuade the admirals there in the name of court envoys.

    In fact, Taiwan also has an army stationed there, with 500 soldiers in Taipei and 500 soldiers in Tainan, mainly fighting against headhunters in the mountains.

    The rogues Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang have each developed into large villages in the valleys between mountains.  They can vigorously develop into the mountainous area, lay down a piece of land, and the government will immigrate in, and they can also leave some land for themselves.  In order to pay less tax on land, the bandits are crazy about having babies. Zhang Xianzhong alone has 16 children, most of whom are born to local concubines.

    Liu Hanyi walked around Tainan and Taipei, not only succeeded in persuading the navy to dispatch, but also borrowed 200 troops in Taiwan.

    Zhang Xianzhong's eldest brother-in-law, Ding Chang, opened a shop in Taipei County to do fur business, and immediately sent someone to the mountains to report the news.  Unwilling to be lonely, Zhang Xianzhong came with hundreds of peasants and soldiers, intending to make military exploits to gain status—he wanted to be the mayor of the town.

    "Angel Liu, one-third of my more than a hundred farmers and soldiers are brothers who fought in the Southern and Northern Wars. The remaining two-thirds have also been fighting headhunters all year round. I guarantee that everyone is doing well!"  Zhang Xianzhong's chest slapped loudly.

    Liu Hanyi looked at this famous "eight thieves" curiously. He probably became a big landlord, and his life was relatively good. Zhang Xianzhong was obviously fat.

    However, it is still very strong, which can be described as big shoulders and round waist.

    Fei Ruhe is recruiting Li Zicheng's troops in Hetao. Since Li Zicheng can be forgiven, it seems that it is not taboo to use Zhang Xianzhong to fight.

    Liu Hanyi asked: "Why did Village Chief Zhang take the initiative to join the army?"

    Zhang Xianzhong laughed and said: "Ming people don't talk dark words. One is that it is boring to fight with the natives, and they want to go to Batavia to play tricks. The other is that they want to make meritorious service and become the mayor. The magistrate and the county magistrate are afraid of trouble, so they dare not let me be the mayor.  If you have done meritorious service, please ask the angel to say a few words in front of His Majesty. The third is to consider for your children and grandchildren. Although my children can go to school, they are not qualified to graduate as official examiners, and they are not qualified to serve as officials in the Nanjing Imperial Examination.  If I have made meritorious service in this battle, I beg Your Majesty to grant me a place in the imperial examination. The fourth child of my family was born smart, studied in elementary school, and took the first place in the examination every year. If I can pass the imperial examination in the future, it will be beautiful."

    Liu Hanyi couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, the majestic Eight Great Kings are now working hard to be the mayor, and actively challenged for a son's imperial examination.

    In fact, Zhang Xianzhong is very satisfied with his current life.

    He now has a group of wives and concubines, three of whom were brought from Hubei, and the rest of the concubines are all indigenous women.  Although he is an aborigine, he is also born beautiful and has a special charm.  More than a dozen sons and daughters made Zhang Xianzhong even more proud. His Zhang family was enough to spread branches and leaves in Taiwan and become a rich family.

    He has thousands of acres of land under his name, and most of the land is still paying high step-by-step taxes.  But as long as the children are all adults and the land property is shared equally among the children, those step taxes can be exempted, which is nothing more than the household registration of more than ten people.

    Zhang Xianzhong's current ideal is to have more children, let the children have more children, and then continue to open up the mountains and forests.  In a few decades, the Zhang family will have thousands of acres of land!

    If the son can be an official in the imperial examination and has contacts in the court, that would of course be great.

    Liu Hanyi said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is dedicated to serving the country. How can I refuse? Wait for the Luzon army to set off together."

    Liu Hanyi continued to go to Guangdong by boat, persuaded the navy there to send out a few warships, and then went to Palembang and Malacca.  But Zhang Xianzhong sent people south to call Sun Kewang, who was waiting for orders with more than 80 peasants and soldiers.

    Liu Hanyi made appointments with various armies, and they continued to gather along the way. Now they are gathering in Guangzhou, and then collectively head south to Palembang.

    Malacca's army will also be in PalembangWhy is China dispatching a large army to Palembang now?  Is China going to break its promise and tear up the treaty?  "

    Liu Hanyi took out the canonized edict and the gold seal of King Nanbawa, and angrily said: "Nambawa is already a vassal state of China, and the Netherlands has torn up the treaty by capturing Nanbawa!"

    Neuhoff argued: "No, Your Excellency's canonization document has not yet been delivered to Sultan Nanbawa. Before China completed the canonization, Sultan Nanbawa had surrendered to the Netherlands. Now Nanbawa is a vassal state of the Netherlands. We do not  The treaty was not broken."

    Liu Hanyi corrected: "King Nanbawa has presented his credentials to China. When the credentials were accepted by the emperor of the Datong Dynasty, Nanbawa was already a vassal state of China!"

    Neuhoff also stopped entangled in this issue: "It seems that this is just a misunderstanding, and there is no need to use force to resolve it. The Netherlands can withdraw its troops from Nanbawa. How about the Netherlands and China jointly exploiting the gold mines of Nanbawa?"

    This little teddy in the Netherlands really wants everything.

    Batavia is about to be attacked by soldiers, and he is still unwilling to hand over the gold mine completely, and wants to jointly develop the gold mine with China.

    Liu Hanyi sneered: "Do you think this will allow me to withdraw my troops?"

    Neuhoff continued to make concessions: "Since China is unwilling to give up the gold mine, the Netherlands is willing to hand it over and promise not to get involved in the Nanbawa gold mine in the future."

    "My 30,000 troops came from afar, and you want me to go back without letting go?" Liu Hanyi exaggerated the strength of the troops by six times.

    Neuhof wanted to delay the time, so he said, "Why don't I go back to Batavia first and ask the governor to compensate part of your country's military expenses? Please make a price, how much can I make up for the loss of sending troops?"

    "500,000 taels of silver!" Liu Hanyi said loudly.

    If the Netherlands is really willing to pay so much money, Liu Hanyi will retreat without saying a word, which is enough for him to get a lot of credit.

 Text 819 [Jieyan]

    ,

    The Han Chinese in Batavia had a delicate relationship with the Dutch colonial government.

    There is even a saying that Batavia is a Chinese colonial city!

    This place was originally called Jakarta, and it was snatched by the Netherlands from the Banten Kingdom.  At the beginning of the occupation, the Banten Kingdom, Mataram Kingdom, the United Kingdom and other forces sent troops to besiege the city in turn. If the surrender conditions were not too harsh, the Netherlands would have chosen to surrender long ago.

    In order to gain a firm foothold, the Netherlands chose to join forces with the Han Chinese.

    The castle was completely built by the Han people.  The city bricks were fired by the Han people, the moat was dug by the Han people, and the Netherlands was only responsible for transporting stones and grain from other places.

    Before the castle was even built, the Han Chinese, Kapitan Su Minggang, was appointed as a member of the Councilor to participate in the discussion of Batavia's government affairs.

    At that time, forests and swamps surrounded the city, and the forests were full of hostile Javanese natives.  It is impossible to transport all the food from other places, and the Netherlands teamed up with the Han people. The Netherlands was responsible for military development, and the Han people were responsible for reclaiming farmland, and they achieved food self-sufficiency in a few years.

    When everything stabilized, the Netherlands bared its fangs and began to impose heavy taxes on the Han Chinese.  As far as poll tax is concerned, the tax rate of the Han people is several times that of the Javanese natives.

    However, the Han people are still strong.

    If history has not been changed, the Han people will gain more power.  With the increase of Han people, two positions, Lei Zhenlan and Street Chief, were established under Jiapitan to fully realize the autonomy of Han people inside and outside the city.  Wu Zhi fans will also be set up, and the power of the Han people will be further enhanced.

    Then Confucian temples, academies, hospitals, and nursing homes appeared, and with the expansion of Dutch power, this system of Han people spread throughout Indonesia.

    ? Even the countryside is controlled by Han plantation owners, and the indigenous landowners and Dutch plantation owners can only survive in the cracks.

    In the end, the Netherlands felt overwhelmed and incited the aborigines to massacre the Han Chinese.

    It is not that overseas Han Chinese are not united, nor are they not interested in politics.  They have been holding groups, and even set up nursing homes to adopt orphans, and the Han Chamber of Commerce also provides education for orphans.  They have been fighting for political power, with more and more Han Chinese in official positions, and more and more Han Chinese parliamentarians.

    Without the support of the state at all, it is all up to the Han people to fight for themselves. It is good enough to be able to develop into that.

    It's a pity that the Han people didn't have guns, not because they didn't want to, but because the Netherlands didn't give them to them at all.  The Han people are forbidden to hold weapons, and they have no power to resist the butcher's knife.

    "500,000 taels of silver? That's more than 1.9 million Dutch guilders!"

    When Carl Rainiers heard the amount of compensation, he was not even in the mood to bargain, and said directly: "Get ready to go to war!"

    This is the net profit of the Dutch East India Company in Asia for two full years.  Note, the profits of the whole of Asia, including India, Ceylon, Japan and the Spice Islands.

    Naval commander Balthazar Burt said: "Our fleet in the Far East cannot defeat the Chinese navy. In the past few years, we lost too many warships, and now more than half of them are converted from merchant ships. And the Chinese navy, this  Three capital ships were launched in two years. If we transfer fleet support from India, the Chinese can also transfer fleet support from the mainland. So the real decisive battle depends on the victory of the army.”

    Army Commander William Clapp said: "I can guarantee that we will stick to the castle until we run out of ammunition and food. But there are too many Chinese residents inside and outside the city. They will definitely help the Chinese army to fight and will definitely provide food for the Chinese army. We must  Take the lead, kill the Chinese residents as much as possible, and grab as much food as possible to defend the city."

    Rainiers said worriedly: "If a massacre is carried out against the Chinese, Batavia will be destroyed. Not only will the city not be able to function, but the food will not be self-sufficient. In the future, food will only be transported from other places."

    The Dutch immigrants in Batavia did not grow food at all at this time.

    Historically, more than ten years later, more than half of the plantations of the Han people were burned down by Bandan bandits, causing a continuous food shortage in Batavia.  The Han Chinese were dissatisfied with the failure of the Dutch army to provide protection, and took the opportunity to demand more power.  Until then, the governor called on the Dutch to open plantations in the suburbs, and gave them super preferential treatment that was almost tax-free.

    Massacre the Han people now, even if they win this battle, the future of Batavia will be bleak, and there will be food shortages for several years.

    ?Because of a Nanbawa gold mine, taking the risk of falling out with China and taking over that gold mine is enough to prove how short-sighted the Dutch colonial authorities are.  When they think about it, even if China sends troops, it will not be so fast.  By the time China sends troops, these high-level officials have already returned to China, and the mess will be a headache for the next governor.

    Clapp said: "The first priority now is to defend the castle, and we will talk about it later. The Chinese, especially the Chinese in the urban areaThe further the land is cultivated, the more often it is plundered by Javanese bandits, and the Netherlands does not send troops to help.  Now that the army of the Celestial Dynasty is coming, as a Han Chinese, I should do my best to serve the country.  I can't guarantee that the Su family will give as much food as they have, and they will not accept a tael of silver!  If the Han army besieged the city for a year, all the Su family's sugarcane gardens would be used to grow food until the army attacked Bacheng!  "

    Sun Jie was greatly moved, and quickly helped Su Dingguo up: "Your Excellency has the heart to serve the country with fists and fists. When I return to Nanjing, I will definitely report to Your Majesty!"

    Ten years ago, the Han landlords here would have hesitated and even helped the Dutch to fight the Datong army.  But it is different now. The Netherlands has been defeated repeatedly, and the local Han people are more optimistic about the Chinese army.

    Su Dingguo got up and told the housekeeper: "Take off the lantern at the door!"

    "No need for now, don't let the wind leak." Sun Jie stopped.

    Su Dingguo said with a smile: "Angel, please don't worry, the area outside the city for dozens of miles is our territory of the Han people, and the Dutch will not leave the city. Even the taxes in the countryside outside the city are contracted to the Han gentry, but the tax amount is more  The higher and higher. The Dutch only go out of the city twice a year, not to go to the countryside to collect taxes, but to check whether the Han people have hidden military armor.”

    "So that's how it is," said Sun Jie. "It is inevitable that traitors and traitors will inform you, so the lanterns should not be picked up. Ambassador Liu has already made an appointment to dispatch troops. Mr. Su, don't connect with Han gentry for the time being. When the agreed time is approaching, we will go to connect with Han people half a month in advance.  , so as to avoid exposing the military situation as much as possible.”

    "The angel has a well-planned plan, and the grassroots must follow it." Su Dingguo said.

    Then he said: "Although the red-haired ghost forbids the Han people to hold military armor, the gentry of various families have quietly bought some, and they can also pull hundreds of thousands of rebels."

    For rural Han people, recruiting thousands of soldiers is already the limit.

    Regardless of the tens of miles around, most of the land belongs to the Han people.  But there are not many real farmers, and they mainly use slaves to cultivate. Those Javanese slaves are not of the same heart as the Han landlords.

 Text 820 [Chaotic War Prelude]

    Liu Hanyi agreed on a time for the start of the war, and asked the Han people in Bacheng to connect half a month in advance. The purpose was to keep it as secret as possible and leave room for adjustment.

    Facts have proved that plans are always subject to change.

    The Chinese naval fleet was discovered in advance, leading to an earlier attack time.

    The spy lurking in the city found that the Dutch blocked the port and prevented the remaining Chinese merchant ships from leaving the port, so he hurried to the countryside to report.

    The action has to be advanced, otherwise the Dutch will do it first.

    Su Dingguo summoned several sons and more than 30 fellow villagers.  Only he himself has an arquebus, and the rest are all swords and spears, and they are all dressed in civilian clothes, not even a decent armor.

    More than 400 Javanese slaves were also gathered together. Su Dingguo said in local language: "The emperor of China sent a hundred thousand troops. The Dutch are dead this time. Don't try to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Some people stay in the countryside.  , protect our farm, and the rest, all the food and grass will be transported with the army! Let’s go, and destroy the Yang family first!”

    Dozens of Han people held weapons, and more than two hundred Javanese slaves accompanied the army to transport food.

    On the way, I met Su Dingbang, Su Dingguo's younger brother, and Su Dingbang also brought a similar army.  In this way, the troops continued to gather, and the direction was not Batavia, but the Yang family plantation, which also belonged to the Han people.

    The incumbent Jiabitan's surname is Yang, and he is Ba. How much hard-earned money did you squeeze out of the villagers when you contracted the city walls and canals?  You brought many folks out to sea, and you drove them to death!  Now your son is a Kapitan, and he is also a dog for the Dutch, and he will avenge his revenge today!  "

    Yang Kun hurriedly argued: "The Dutch are rushing to build the city wall, and the Dutch are also raising taxes in the past two years. My Yang family can't help it either!"

    "Kill this dog!"

    Suddenly one person yelled, and the rest of the Han people rushed to kill them, spreading their anger towards the Dutch on these bastards of the Yang family.

    Yang Kun turned around and fled. Before he could take a few steps, he was knocked down by a shoulder pole, hit by a hoe, and smashed into a sieve by more than a dozen spears.  His second son and grandchildren were also beaten, and even his old wife was beaten to death, and then the rebel army rushed into the house and looted it.

    With this "great victory", the morale of the rebel army was instantly high, and they headed towards the city with their heads held high.

    The city is already in chaos.

    Thousands of Javanese indigenous residents were incited. Men, women, and children, armed with sticks, crazily rushed towards the neighborhood where the Han people lived.  There are also two thousand Javanese servants, armed with machetes and bows and arrows, charging as the vanguard.

    And thousands of Han residents, also connected by secret workers and businessmen, took up arms one after another, and built fortifications at the intersections with furniture and door panels.

    Attached

    It is said that Han people are forbidden to hold weapons, but at this moment, there are many Han people holding big knives and spears.  Every street has a Han Chinese street leader. Under the leadership of the street leader, women and children go into battle with sticks.

    The two sides fought back and forth between the barricades built with furniture. The Javanese servants with bows and arrows could not attack for a while.

    Governor Rainiers, standing on the castle, observed the battle situation with binoculars, and complained helplessly: "These Javanese soldiers are really trash, even Chinese civilians can't beat them."

    The army commander asked: "Do you want to help?"

    "Fire some shots," Rainiers said.

    In Batavia, Malacca, Manila, and Zeelandia, the main forts of these European colonial castles were not aimed at the sea, but invariably aimed at the Han Chinese settlements.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    More than 20 shells fell on the Han people's block, and many roofs collapsed. There were not many Han people killed or injured.  However, local chaos was caused, and the timid Han people were running like headless chickens.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Another cannon was fired, but a naval battle broke out a few miles away.

    Rainiers said: "Leave 200 people to defend the castle, and the rest will attack the Chinese in the city."

    Clapp asked: "Don't you stick to the castle?"

    Rainiers said: "From Zeelandia to Malacca, fees are rising; second, the structure is bloated, and the number of employees is increasing; third, the company's debt ratio is high, and the interest that needs to be repaid is scary-the goods are sold.  , the money is recorded in the account, and the net profit has not been calculated, it must be distributed to major shareholders as dividends, and debt repayment is the next thing.

    Historically, when the first Anglo-Dutch war broke out, and in the following years, due to the frantic construction of warships in the Netherlands after the defeat, the income and expenditure could almost offset each other. The total profit in ten years was only 590,000 taels of silver, and the average annual net profit was 590,000.  Two (whole of Asia).

    What's even more funny is that from 1689 to 1790, the Dutch East India Company lost money every year.

    ?At its peak, the average annual loss was 2.6 million taels of silver.

    In the last ten years of the company's bankruptcy, the average annual loss was 1.29 million taels of silver.

    Why did a company go bankrupt after losing money for a hundred years?

    Because it is the company that loses money, and it is the major shareholders who make money.  No matter how much the loss is, the major shareholders can pay dividends before the accounts are evened out, and the company's executives can also fill their pockets crazily!

    Who will pay for the loss?

    The common people of all nationalities in the colonies, as well as the countless small shareholders of the company, the Dutch who bought the company's bonds, and the bad guys who lent to the company.  In the end, the whole of the Netherlands came to take over because the company was "forced" to be nationalized.

    This is how merchants rule the country, and they want to kill the Han people directly along the city wall.

    "Run, the red-haired ghost is here!"

    The Han people who were standing guard on the city wall were so frightened that they ran back and shouted.

    The gates of the city were quickly opened, and thousands of Han Chinese flocked out, fleeing towards the countryside on the outskirts.

    The Javanese residents and Javanese soldiers took the opportunity to break through the barricades and chased after the Han Chinese.  After chasing and chasing, they stopped chasing. Instead, they rushed into the houses of the Han people and snatched everything they thought was valuable.

    There were only a dozen or so Dutch cavalrymen who ran out of the city along the city wall, and soon caught up with the tail of the Han people.

    The heroic and fearless Han Chinese in street fighting turned into a mess outside the city.  Thousands of people with various weapons were chased by more than a dozen Dutch cavalry, and they were hacked to death by the Dutch cavalry when they ran slowly.

    "Dang Dang Dang Dang!"

    The bell rang in the castle, which meant that the Datong Army was about to land, and the Governor of the Netherlands ordered the army to be called up.

    The Indians and Arabs in the city were completely confused and at a loss.

    The goal of the Dutch has been achieved. It is not necessary to kill all the Han people, but to drive the Han people out of the city.  A castle, plus a city, first defend for a period of time, looking for an opportunity to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle.

    This is the usual tactic used by the Netherlands to defend Batavia. First defend the city and then attack the navy.

 Text 821【Hot Air Balloon and Siege】

    ,

    The city of Batavia is divided into two by the Tiger Canal, forming two rectangular halves in the east and west.

    The canal was also built by the Han people. At that time, it was undertaken by two Han merchants.  The moat can connect to the canal, and the river flows around the city and extends all the way to protect the castle.

    The castle is separated from the urban area, and it is built in the north of the eastern half of the city, with moats on all sides.  There are several vegetable fields to the south of the castle, and further south is the north wall of the East City.

    The four corners of the castle are four bastions, connected by four straight walls.

    It is impossible for the Datong Army to land on the front, and it is easy to be blocked if it lands on the west.  Going around three or four miles to the east, then lowered the boat, landed on a beach, and then stepped on the farmland to head southwest.

    Instead of directly attacking the castle, go to occupy the city first.

    Two hot air balloons took off one after another, and the situation of the city defense was unobstructed.

    One of the watchmen came down from the hot air balloon along the rope, and handed over the quickly drawn city defense map: "General, please take a look!"

    Tie Hong took it over and took a look. The drawings were crooked, but the basic information was clearly marked.

    The situation in the eastern half of the city is as follows: the east city wall has three gates and three enemy towers, and at the southeast corner is a sharp-edged enemy tower similar to a bastion.  On the south wall, there is a city gate and two enemy towers, and at the southwest corner there is also a sharp-edged enemy tower similar to a bastion.

    The situation in the west half of the city is as follows: the west city wall has two gates and one enemy tower. There are sharp-edged enemy towers similar to bastions at the southwest and northwest corners.  The south city wall has no gates and enemy towers, and a bridge connects the east half of the city across the canal.

    The situation of the castle outside the city is as follows: four bastions, three towers in the middle, and moats on all sides.  There is a bridge to the south that can lead to the eastern half of the city.  On the north side there was a gap, next to the bastion, which gave access to the coast.

    The drawing also draws a few circles, marking that there is a fort in a certain place, and marking the approximate number of defenders in a certain place.

    When the Datong Army was using a hot air balloon to observe, Governor Rainiers stood on the castle and was also observing with a telescope. He had a headache and said, "What kind of device is this? It can rise to high altitudes. The deployment of our troops has been controlled by China.  People have figured it out completely.”

    The army commander, Clapp, led his troops to defend the city.  Through the binoculars, he could clearly see that there were Chinese people on the hot air balloon watching.

    Clapp immediately mobilized troops to test, and then he soon discovered that the Chinese watchman on the hot air balloon kept playing flags to show this mobilization situation.

    And the Javanese servants standing on the city wall, facing the two mysterious hot air balloons, shouted and knelt down one after another.

    Clapp said to the herald: "Go and tell those Javanese soldiers that there is no god in the sky, but some kind of Chinese machine. Fire and shoot those two balls down!"

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    Cannons were fired from the east wall, but the balloon was too high and the distance was too far.  At best, the cannonball can hit luck and break the rope pulling the balloon, and even if it breaks, it doesn't matter, the balloon will just float with the wind until it runs out of fuel and lands.

    Those Javanese soldiers, seeing that the artillery could not shoot down the hot air balloon, became even more convinced that the Chinese army had the help of gods.

    The Dutch soldiers walked along the city wall, waving their whips constantly: "Stand up, stand up, don't kneel anymore, that's not a Chinese god!"

    A civil servant ran out of the castle and came to the city through the moat.

    He climbed up the city wall out of breath, and came to Clapp and said: "Your Excellency the Governor has an order to conscript all civilians to fight. After the victory of the war, the property left by the Chinese will be rewarded to the soldiers according to their military achievements. Those Chinese farms outside the city  , and let the soldiers plunder, and those who have made great achievements can still get the land!"

    Squad after squad of Dutch soldiers, armed with arms, recruited soldiers in the city, while punishing those who were still secretly looting their goods.

    Even Indians and Arabs were forced to defend the city walls.

    Sanjay Gutap took his clansmen and buddies and was responsible for defending a small section of the city wall.  After the Dutch soldiers left, the wealthy Indian businessman quietly went to the next door: "Gauer, don't try too hard. The Chinese are not bandits from Banten or Matalam. Malacca was occupied by the Chinese, and the Indian businessmen there did not  We were robbed. If we resist too fiercely, we will be killed instead."

    The Indian businessman named Gore said: "I know, I will not stick to it. As long as the Chinese soldiers attack from here, I will immediately give up the city wall."

    This is the bonus that a good reputation brings.

    In previous Batavia offensive and defensive battles, no matter whether it was facing the Banten army or the Matalan army, all races in the city would unite as one and resist to the death.

    &nbThe man suddenly turned his face.

    Su Dingguo said: "The food stored in the city can last for another month or two at most. We don't rush to attack, and we don't need to rush to fill the moat. Try to avoid too many casualties. After one or two months, the food in the city should be eaten."  It's over. At that time, it depends on whether the Dutch are willing to take out the grain in the castle. If the grain is adjusted from the castle, it will consume the grain stored in the castle. If the grain is not adjusted from the castle, the Javanese, Indians,  The Persians (Arabs) would go hungry."

    Tie Hong said with a smile: "Then take your time, we will besiege the city for two months first."

    Batavia has not yet fought, but Brianan (Bandung) and Palembang have already broken out.

    The aristocratic landowners of Matalan in Burianan heard that Batavia was besieged and immediately joined forces to revolt.  They first killed the Dutch missionaries, robbed the missionary's plantations, set fire to hospitals and schools (both missionary sites), and then surrounded the city of Brianan, which had only 30 Dutch soldiers (and a large number of servants).

    This wave of uprising quickly spread to Cirebon by the sea, and then burned to Semarang further west.

    There was a big Han uprising in Semarang, and the surrounding Mataram nobles and landlords responded one after another.

    The Matalan puppet Sultan originally gathered 10,000 troops to rescue Batavia.  When I heard that the uprising broke out in Semarang, I was so frightened that I immediately returned to the capital halfway, and then I was blocked outside the city and couldn't get in. It was the leaders of the Green Church in the city and the nobles who rebelled.

    The Sultan of Mata Lan was frightened out of his wits and led his troops to withdraw to the east city.  As a result, the aristocratic landlords in the east also rebelled, and various rebels began to encircle and suppress the Sudanese army.

    Twenty years ago, Matalam was able to pull up an army of 100,000, but now it has declined to this appearance.

    Ma Talan's puppet sultan was not dead, but three sultans appeared in the rebel army.  The three rebel sultans were all from the aristocratic and landlord class, and they all said that they belonged to the orthodox royal family of Mataram.  It is estimated that after they wipe out the puppet sultan, they will continue to fight a few more games until someone wins the final victory.

    In addition, the Han rebel army in Semarang actually produced a sultan, who seemed to want to establish a city-state in Semarang.  Of course, it is only called Sudan internally, and the Governor of China externally.

    On the other side of Palembang, the Dutch fleet has returned, and the Indian Ocean Fleet is also there, with more than 30 warships, large and small, trying to attack the port of the Han people.

 Text 822【Zhang Xianzhong's strategy】

    ,

    The castle in Palembang is very simple, built with rammed earth, and is still being strengthened.

    The Netherlands has gathered more than 600 troops and more than 3,000 Indian soldiers on the east coast of India.  So they joined the Nanyang and Indian Ocean fleets and came over mightily, trying to capture Palembang by surprise.

    However, they passed through the Strait of Malacca halfway, how could the Chinese army not receive the news?

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The shipboard artillery kept bombarding the rammed earth castle, and even fired at the pier, but the pier was dead silent, and there was no panic and escape at all.

    Naval Commander Balthazar Burt immediately realized something was wrong and ordered: "Evacuate immediately, the Chinese are ready!"

    More than 30 Dutch ships, carrying reinforcements, headed north, but did not leave the Strait of Malacca.  They bypassed Bangka Island, went to the southwest coast of Kalimantan Island, and landed in their own country Sukardana, forcing the Sudan to send food and fresh water supplies immediately.

    Only six hours after the Dutch fleet left Palembang, the Chinese fleet came to attack, but it was completely empty.

    The Chinese fleet pursued immediately, all the way to Sukadana.  In the end, it was still in vain. The Dutch fleet had already left, only knowing that it was heading southeast.

    Balthazar Burt originally planned to dock at Semarang so that the reinforcements brought from India would join the Matalam reinforcements, and then go to support Batavia together.  Unexpectedly, when they arrived in Semarang, they were greeted by shelling.

    There is a Datong Shenglong flag on the top of the city, and there is also a temporary green flag.

    The city of Semarang is very magical. There is a Zheng He Temple in the city, which is completely Chinese Taoist style. In addition to worshiping Zheng He, it also worships Mazu.  At the same time, there are mosques and Catholic churches, but because of the uprising during this period, the Catholic church has been burned down.  On the mountain outside the city, there is also the Buddhist Borobudur Tower, and there are even Hindu temples in the farther mountains.

    The Han people have completely occupied the city, and the three major families of Zheng, Wang, and Ma have temporarily jointly ruled Semarang.

    Many Han people have changed their surnames. The Zheng surname claims to be a descendant of Zheng He, and the Wang surname claims to be a descendant of Wang Jinghong (Zheng He’s deputy eunuch). There is no need to explain anything about the Ma surname.

    The city was in a mess, a large number of blocks were burned, not a single European was left, and even a few Arabs were killed by mistake.

    Zheng Yongshou was wearing a leather armor he got from nowhere, standing on the top of the city with his hand on the handle of the knife, and shouted: "Close the city gate quickly, people outside the city, go around the city and hide in the countryside to the south!"

    Balthazar Burt's face was depressed, and he scolded Mata Lan Sultan countless times in his heart.

    This puppet sultan is really too muddy to support the wall.  The Netherlands has already helped to suppress the rebellion, and in just two years, the rebel army has grown bigger again.

    Mataram's Sudanese army must pass through Semarang if they want to support Batavia.  If Semarang is not captured, there will be no reinforcements from Matalam. The Dutch's intention to gather troops is tantamount to bankruptcy——Balthazar? Burt doesn't know that Matalam has already had rebels everywhere.

    "Go east!"

    With Balthazar Burt's order, the Dutch fleet did not sail directly to Batavia, but went in the opposite direction.

    About two hours after the Dutch fleet left, the Chinese fleet came after them.

    The messenger landed in a small boat, revealed his identity, and was immediately invited into the city by Zheng Yongshou.

    The messenger asked, "Where did the Dutch go?"

    Zheng Yongshou said: "To the east."

    "Farewell!" The messenger turned and left.

    Zheng Yongshou quickly said: "Your Excellency, wait a moment. I will establish myself as the Governor. Semarang is willing to submit to the Celestial Dynasty. Please help me pass the news."

    "I know, you guard the city and don't let the Dutch break the city." The envoy left in a hurry.

    Zheng Yongshou finally showed a smile on his face. The governor told the court that what he really wanted to be was the sultan.  There are quite a few city-state sultanates in Nanyang, and he has no plans to expand his territory. He only needs to own Semarang and surrounding villages and towns, because the living space of the Han people is only so large.

    Although the Han people in Semarang believe in the Green Religion, they belong to the improved Green Religion.  They still keep the tradition of worshiping ancestors, insist on offering sacrifices to Zheng He, and at the same time keep the belief in Mazu.  In addition, there are academies and righteous schools, which teach Confucianism.  They even mixed Buddhism into it, believing in reincarnation and reincarnation.

    What kind of religion is this?

    The Chinese fleet did not continue to pursue, but returned to the waters near Batavia.  No matter where the Dutch fleet goes, it will go there to support, just wait and see.

    But it is said that the Dutch fleet, after leaving Semarang, went straight to Surabaya Port (Surabaya).After discussing with Rapp, Clapp said: "Leave 300 troops, and you can defend the castle. The rest of the army, take the militia out of the city to fight. The number of enemies is not very large, and you may be able to win with reinforcements. Once you lose the battle, immediately retreat to the castle.  .Even if they don’t go out of the city to fight, the food in the urban area is not enough. Those Javanese, Indians and Arabs will give up sooner or later. It’s better to let them go out of the city to fight the Chinese and cause more casualties to the Chinese army.”

    "Okay, let's fight like this, I will stay in the castle." Rainiers immediately agreed.

    Even if the troops outside died, he led 300 soldiers to defend the castle, and he could defend the castle for a year or two until the food was eaten.

    Troops are being mobilized both inside and outside the city.

    The hot air balloon rose again to observe the movement trajectory of the Dutch army.

    Zhang Xianzhong, who was originally leading the troops to the west of the city, saw movement in the city, and immediately ran to Tie Hong himself: "General Tie, if you can't fight during the day, you can attack the city at night tonight."

    Tie Hong didn't want to understand: "Why did you seize the city tonight?"

    Zhang Xianzhong explained: "When the enemy's reinforcements arrived, they thought about how to cooperate with each other and thought that our goal was to fight for reinforcements. They certainly did not expect that we would attack and seize the city at night. Tonight's city walls must be the most lax!"

    Tie Hong scratched his head, and after a long time he finally cleared his mind, nodded and said, "Then take the city tonight."

    Zhang Xianzhong continued: "We can make a noise in the west of the city first, pretending that we are fighting the enemy's reinforcements in the west of the city. The attention of the defenders in the city will be attracted to the west of the city, and they may even go out of the city to help. At this time, we will quietly ambush our troops.  In the east of the city. The east of the city is the most difficult to attack, with the most gates, enemy towers, and fortresses. It is absolutely impossible for us to attack the city from there!"

    Tie Hong said convincingly: "You are still good at fighting, you are worthy of being the leader of thieves."

 Text 823 [The plan changes again and again]

    ,

    When Zhang Xianzhong offered his advice, by coincidence, the Dutch were also discussing night operations.

    The Netherlands often plays night raid tricks, but it is not a bad army, but the elite navy of the Netherlands.

    During the Thirty Years' War, the Dutch Navy repeatedly attacked Spanish ports at night.  Later, in the Second Anglo-Dutch War, the Dutch navy repeated its old tricks and also attacked British ports at night many times.  As long as the night attack is successful, the merchant ship will be burned if it can be burned. If there are enemy ships in the port, it will make a lot of money.

    Including this delivery of reinforcements, the Dutch fleet also came at night, docked ahead of time from a long distance, and fled immediately after unloading the army. It was difficult for the Chinese navy to find its trace.

    Clapp said to Rainiers: "Your Excellency, our army is too bad to fight effectively at night. However, we can march at night, quietly leave the city from the north of the city, and arrive at the preset location before dawn."

    "Finish your plan." Rainiers nodded.

    Clapp said: "The previous army mobilization was just to confuse the enemy and make the enemy misjudge that we will go out of the city tomorrow to fight. Therefore, they will focus on the west of the city and launch a surprise attack when we go out of the city tomorrow. And we can advance the time, in the  Dispatch the army in the middle of the night, sneak out from the north of the city, and go west along the coast. It is best to join the reinforcements. If you can’t join the reinforcements, you can lie in ambush in the woods to the west.”

    "And then?" Rainiers was not very good at fighting.

    Clapp explained: "Tomorrow, the Javanese, Indian and Arab soldiers will be ordered to swagger out from the west of the city. They will definitely be defeated, and what I need is for them to disperse. The Chinese army will chase and kill the defeated soldiers until they reach the city.  At this time, our elite ambushing in the woods will take the opportunity to rush out from behind the Chinese army, and the reinforcements will also cooperate with us in fighting!"

    Rainiers said: "What if the Chinese army takes the opportunity to occupy the city?"

    Clapp said with a smile: "Even if the Chinese army takes the opportunity to occupy the city, they will not be able to occupy the castle. Moreover, the army they left outside the city will be wiped out by us. At that time, it will be our turn to besiege the city and kill all the people in the city."  The Chinese army besieged and starved to death."

    Rainiers asked: "What if the Chinese commander is on guard and finds us marching at night?"

    "Return to the castle immediately!" Clapp said, "We have the support of the city defense artillery, and the moat has boats to support us. We will definitely be able to withdraw safely. In addition, we can send an army at night to make noise from the south of the city and attract the attention of the enemy.  South of the city. Our elite went out from the north of the city and sneaked into the woods at night."

    In the afternoon of that day, both sides were pretending to deploy troops to make deceptive preparations for the night operation.

    The plan of the Dutch was to make noise in the south of the city, and the elite sneaked quietly to the woods to the west.

    Zhang Xianzhong's plan was to make noise in the west of the city, and the elite sneaked to the east to attack the city.

    The biggest difference is that the Dutch Army is too poorly organized to fight at night and can only lurk until tomorrow.  And the Chinese army is going to fight at night, and it will never delay the time until tomorrow.

    It was midnight.

    The 800 Dutch Army started to move, went out from the north gate of the eastern half of the city, passed through a vegetable field, and came to the moat of the castle.  Then cross the bridge and enter the castle, from the gap in the moat in the north of the castle, quietly came to the seaside, and marched westward along the coast.

    On the other hand, Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang led the 800 ronin, and they acted as early as nightfall.  Afraid of being discovered by the Dutch defenders, they headed southeast, circled for several miles, and followed the coast all the way to the east of the city.

    "kill!"

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The Dutch took the lead in bombarding the south of the city. 200 Dutch troops, with more than 1,000 Javanese soldiers, rushed out of the south gate without warning.

    This situation shocked both Tie Hong and Zhang Xianzhong.

    ?Because the final plan after repeated discussions was to let the Johor soldiers and the Chinese rebels make noise in the west of the city to attract the Dutch.  Zhang Xianzhong took people to the east of the city to seize the city, and Tie Hong personally led the Datong army, and cooperated in the attack in the south of the city at a critical moment.

    Tie Hong had already quietly lurked hundreds of meters outside the moat in the south of the city, only waiting for the friendly troops on the west to create momentum. Unexpectedly, the city wall he was facing suddenly opened fire, and it seemed that some enemy troops came out.

    A cannonball flew over Tie Hong's head, and the black buddy exclaimed: "I was discovered by the enemy, attack the city immediately!"

    "kill!"

    Two thousand Datong troops, led by Tie Hong, rushed towards the south moat carrying ladders and rafts.

    Clapp, who was standing at the top of the city, was also frightened, and quickly shouted: "The enemy is attacking at night, blow the trumpet quickly, let the south of the city?It’s not very high, this guy is as nimble as a monkey, and he has already climbed to the parapet in two or three moves.

    A Javanese soldier slashed at him with a knife. He grabbed the ladder with his left hand and swung a stick with his right, directly smashing the enemy's weapons into the air.

    Then he turned over and rushed into the crowd, held the stick horizontally and rushed forward, and used the stick to push back several Javanese people in front of him.

    The two ends of the stick are wrought iron, and the middle is wood, just like a golden cudgel.

    With a knife in the dark, Tie Hong suffered pain in his left hand, but his little finger was cut off, and his ring finger was cut off with only a piece of skin attached.

    "ah!"

    Under the pain, Tie Hong shouted loudly, overthrew the enemy in front of him, and then swept across with his stick.

    After sweeping several times in a row, there was a huge gap of more than one meter in front of him, and all the Javanese were scared away.

    At this time, Tie Hong had free time, and directly tore off the ring finger of his left hand with only a trace of skin left, and threw it at the enemy.  Then he charged forward with a grinning grin. In the darkness, no human figure could be seen, only white teeth could be seen.

    The soldiers of the Datong Army behind them took the opportunity to climb up the city wall one after another, killing the Javanese defenders who were several times their own and retreating steadily.

    East of the city.

    Zhang Xianzhong and Sun Kewang had already led the old thief and ronin across the river to the city to build a ladder.

    "There are enemies here!" A wealthy Arab businessman exclaimed.

    "Run!"

    The Indians also found out, turned around and fled from the city wall, they were not willing to work hard for the Dutch.

    Seeing that the defenders did not resist, Zhang Xianzhong immediately said to the old thief beside him after he boarded the city: "Go and tell Sun Kewang to support the friendly army in the south of the city. I will go to the north to block the enemy's retreat!"

    This guy made the most correct decision in an instant. He wanted to eat all the Dutch soldiers guarding the city.

    Clapp led troops from the west of the city to support the south of the city. When he ran halfway, he heard that the east of the city had fallen.  He stopped supporting and immediately ordered a retreat. All the Dutch soldiers withdrew to the castle. The city and the Javanese, Indians, and Arabs could all be abandoned. Only the Dutch soldiers and the castle must not be lost.

    The city and the castle are connected by only one passage.

    When Clapp came rushing with hundreds of Dutch soldiers, planning to leave the north gate and retreat all the way to the castle, Zhang Xianzhong had already been waiting there for several minutes.

    7017

 Text 824 [Lonren Lin Laoshi]

    ,

    Between the north city wall and the castle, there is a large vegetable field, which is privately owned by the Dutch, and is usually cultivated by slaves from Bali.

    Zhang Xianzhong led dozens of old thieves and hundreds of Japanese wanderers, standing in a fan shape in the vegetable field, quietly waiting for the North City Gate to open.

    It can only be said that the Dutch deserve it. They are usually on guard against foreigners, afraid that the Han, Javanese, Indians, and Arabs will attack the castle, so they only leave a passage and a bridge between the city and the castle.

    Zhang Xianzhong had also seen the blueprints drawn by the hot air balloon observation, so of course he wanted to block the necessary road.

    "Yeah!"

    The city gate opened slowly, and Dutch soldiers rushed out.

    "kill!"

    When 70 or 80 Dutch soldiers rushed out of the city gate, Zhang Xianzhong gave an order, and the soldiers standing in a fan shape immediately surrounded and killed them.

    These Dutch soldiers rushed out of the city gate in a hurry, and they couldn't see clearly because of the darkness, and countless weapons came over them.

    Clapp rushed forward, subconsciously separated a samurai sword, and then his shoulder was severely split by the blade.  Although the chain armor blocked the blade, it still made his shoulder hurt, and then another Japanese-style long spear stabbed him.

    "Quickly withdraw to the city!"

    Clapp cried out in pain, and while speaking, was stabbed in the waist by an old thief again.

    The Dutch soldiers behind were crowded in the doorway at this time, completely unaware of what was happening ahead, only guessing that they must have been ambushed.  They turned around in panic and collided with the friendly troops further back. The doorway was crowded with people and it was impossible to move.

    An old thief slammed into it, and Clapp lost his balance and fell to the ground.

    The ronin next to him swooped up, holding the handle of the knife with one hand and the back of the knife with the other, pressing on his neck and cutting violently.  The commander of the Dutch army raised his hand to push away the katana, but the neck artery was cut, blood flowed out, and his strength seemed to disappear with the blood.

    Along with the Dutch soldiers retreating to the castle, there were also slaves from Bali.

    Before these slaves had time to enter the gate, they were blocked in the city and could not move forward.  At first, he was a little confused, but then someone turned around and ran away.

    A Balinese slave named Boya raised his weapon and shouted: "Warrior of Bali, it's time for revenge, kill the Dutch with me!"

    Bali Island was called "Poli" in the Han and Tang Dynasties, "Mali" in the Song Dynasty, and "Poli" in the Ming Dynasty.

    When Zheng He's fleet visited Bali, King Paramesura held a grand welcome ceremony.  Since then, Han merchants have continued to go to Bali to engage in overseas trade.

    Bali has script, and like Luzon script, it is a variant of Indian script.

    For a nation with written characters, the farming and weaving technology will not be too bad.

    Some places in Bali are still preserved by the Zhenghe Temple, and there are still a few Han people who are settled.

    With the addition of Balinese slaves, the war situation was completely stabilized.

    The Dutch soldiers blocked in the doorway were flanked back and forth, and they didn't even have a chance to surrender.  Many Dutch soldiers, after falling down, were trampled to death by friendly forces, and in a blink of an eye they were dead bodies

    South of the city.

    Two thousand Datong troops entered the city one after another, killing more than 4,000 Javanese people and keeping them retreating.

    At the critical moment, Sun Kewang led his troops here.

    He led hundreds of ronin to fight out, and the Javanese in the eastern section of the southern city wall were immediately pinched from left to right.  These guys have no morale at all. Those who run fast leave the city wall quickly, while those who run slowly are completely blocked, and one by one they kneel down and surrender.

    Hearing the sound of killing spread from the city wall into the city, the Han rebels and Johor soldiers outside the moat in the west of the city immediately gained the courage to attack the city.

    They did not bring rafts and planks, jumped into the moat one after another, swam over with bare hands and entered through the city gate.

    "Revenge!"

    Some of the Han rebels were hunted out from the city.  They not only hated the Dutch, but also hated the Javanese who attacked them for no reason.

    After these Han rebels entered the city, they did not obey the military orders at all, and chased the Javanese in groups.  Even the Javanese who had surrendered were served with knives, guns and sticks. Many Javanese were beaten until they could not find any good bones.

    The prince of Johor is even more ridiculous. He took 1500 Johor soldiers to rob everywhere. When he saw the house, he got in to get things. He lost his army organization in a blink of an eye.

    Grabbing and grabbing, grabbing Indian and Arab communities.

    The Indians and Arabs organized militias to jointly defend against the enemy, and defeated hundreds of Johor soldiers who rushed into the block.

    &??They have been marching during the day, and they were awakened by the sound of artillery at night, so they managed to sleep for a while.

    The Dutch soldiers assembled there quickly, and the performance of the Indian soldiers was even more unbearable.

    More than 3,000 Indian soldiers from untouchable backgrounds woke up in a dream. When they heard that the enemy was coming, their first reaction was not to fight, but to throw down their weapons and run away.

    ?Whoever they love, they simply receive their wages. They are brave in fighting against the wind during the day, and don't run away too quickly when they encounter a surprise attack at night.

    The camp of the Dutch reinforcements has only simple wooden fences.

    Facing the shouts of killing in the dark, the Dutch soldiers hurriedly opened fire.  Shooting in the direction of the sound, they have no idea where the enemy is and how far the enemy is.

    There was a gunshot, and only a few unlucky ones were hit.

    However, after the Dutch soldiers fired their guns, they were so confused that they couldn't reload their ammunition at all, so they could only take up cold weapons and retreat.

    Kanjiro held a Japanese-style spear, and the wooden fence in front of him had been pushed down by the Datong army.  He raised his gun and jumped over, rushing to kill with enthusiasm, but also couldn't see the enemy clearly, and only followed the enemy's cry to pursue.

    Kanjiro's grandfather, who used to be just a ronin, became a samurai of the Fukui clan during the Sengoku period.

    With the end of the Warring States Period, all feudal lords laid off samurai, and his family became unemployed due to policy.

    A few years ago, the Qing'an incident broke out. A group of unemployed unlucky warriors attempted to assassinate Tokugawa Iezuna who had just succeeded to the throne.  Not to mention the failure of the assassination, the great purge followed. The shogunate and feudal lords arrested ronin everywhere, and Kanjiro could only escape to Ryukyu by boat.

    ?He moved to Luzon, took care of the homes of the Han landlords, and came to Batavia to fight in a daze.

    Kanjiro, who had previously stabbed a Dutch soldier to death, became more aggressive.  Because the governor of Luzon promised that as long as the battle is won, the indigenous wives will be distributed when they return to Luzon, and a few acres of land will be allocated for their great achievements.

    I don't know how long I have been chasing in the dark, but the sky is already getting bright.

    Kanjiro found that there was no one around him, and he had already left the main force.  But further ahead, there is still an enemy on the run, rushing up and chopping off his head is a battle achievement!

    Commander Dirk was out of breath and couldn't run anymore. He drew out his command knife and turned around to fight.

    However, Kanjiro ran more and more vigorously. Since he was enlisted in the army, he has been able to eat enough every day. Now that the military achievements are in front of him, he feels full of strength.

    A Dutchman and a Japanese approached slowly.

    The command knife in Dirk's hand was less than one meter long.

    The Japanese-style spear in Kanjiro's hand is a full two meters long.

    Moreover, Dirk woke up in a dream, not wearing armor at all, while Kanjiro was wearing leather armor.

    Dirk slashed with a knife, Kanjiro used the spear technique "one pull", and the spear disturbed.  Then, Kanjiro came up with another move "Introduction", followed by the ultimate move "Reverse Fold".

    The tip of the gun pierced Dirk's abdomen fiercely, pulling, poking, pulling, poking The abdomen was quickly pierced into a sieve.

    Cut off Dirk's head, picked up Dirk's command knife, Kanjiro grinned.  He has made meritorious service, and when he returns to Luzon, not only will he have a native wife, but he will definitely be granted several acres of land.

    By the way, Kanjiro is not called Kanjiro now, the Chinese emperor ordered the ronin to change their name.

    He followed the landlord who hired him, whose surname was Lin, and the landlord gave him the name Lin Laoshi ?

    I am just an ordinary little red fox so far, but what will become in the near future No one can predict, of course I will not be the "vixen" that humans think, we cannot become "spiritual".  Human beings have always been prejudiced against the fox family. As long as they are demeaning words such as insidious, cunning, suspicious, and following others, they will be given to us without hesitation, which is unfair.  As for me, I didn't come to rehabilitate the fox clan, and I'm not that great. Until now, I still feel puzzled as to why I was chosen as "Spirit Fox"!  What is "Spirit Fox"?  Well, before the mission starts, it is necessary to explain clearly what a "spirit" is. This word is very important and will run through the entire story.

What kind of connection?  Match each other.  In layman's terms, a complete soul divides into two parts, one half is in the person, the other half is in the corresponding p;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp  ;amp;nbp;First of all, we must understand why the Creator wants to prevent this "good thing"?

Logically speaking, this is a good way for lower creatures to escape the human "dining table culture" and sit on an equal footing with them. Why are no creatures willing to go to join spirits with humans?  There are no written and historical records of animal races on the earth. All animals are "legends" passed down from generation to generation orally by their ancestors. There is no credible evidence or practice. There are similarities between the biological world and the human world.  For things like "legends", most of them just listen to them, and don't go to be "stupid" to seek truth;  The sad thing is that the fur of some animals is not spared by humans, and it is made into their "fashionable" coats Some classic experiences have even become "warning words" to educate future generations.  However, in the long history of the earth, it is also heard that there are people with "supernatural powers", but where are the animals corresponding to them, but there are no legends or records left This is a better proof of the spirit of animals and humans.  "Species are the same as they are now. People are people, animals are animals, plants are plants, water is water, and air is air In short, according to the laws of the earth, they are multiplying, living, and reciprocating. Birth, old age, sickness, and death  with

How to define the matching spirit of living things and human beings?  The lifespan and body tonnage are different from each other For example, can the spirit of an elephant and the spirit of a ladybug be compatible with the corresponding human?

    &amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;First,  Spirit is an invisible and tasteless energy substance, which is not distinguished by the size and mass tonnage of the substance. It is determined by a certain law, or it was originally designed by the Creator, and we can only accept it.

    &amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;  , not all creatures’ spirits can match human beings, and there is no such thing as the principle that earth creatures must satisfy human beings’ matching.  To put it bluntly, the Creator has mixed the principle of "true and false and false and true" in it. It is estimated that this is also an invisible barrier that restricts creatures from verifying this "legend".

    &amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;  amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;What about the spirits of other animals that can't match people?

After all, on the earth, except for a few species such as trees and turtles, the life span of most creatures is shorter than that of humans.  At this time, the "spare tire" spirit creature will come in handy. The spirit of the dead creature will automatically look for the young counterpart of the spare tire before its deadline. Why is it young? There is no need to explain it;  The spirit of the human being takes its place and continues to attach to the living body of the same kind until the spirit of the matching human dies.  Of course, the new host will also "inexplicably" become the "outstanding" spirit of the group.

The plant spirits are connected to the earth, so they can only be still, the spirits are waiting quietly in their roots, and the dead spirits are there, and it is said that the spirits of plants are not in a dormant state, they are all "awake", I don't know the truth  False, but judging from the relatively gentle and obedient character of herbivores, it should be true.  However, I do not mean to encourage everyone to be vegetarian.  There is still an essential difference between human vegetarians and herbivores. Most of what they eat is cooked food, and the cooked plants will lose their spirituality.  Of course, I did not encourage everyone to eat raw plants, please identify them yourself.

    &amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;&amp;amp;nbp;that vegetarian  I don't know whether the spirit of the creator is connected with the spirit of the plant. Who knows what the creator and the old gods think. Besides, this story is not about the matching of spirits.

 Text 826 [The Governor of the Netherlands Determined to Fight to the Death]

    ,

    Governor's Mansion, Council.

    A little old man in his fifties was smoking a cigar and speaking:

    "Twenty-nine years ago, I was hired to work for the company as a junior businessman."

    "Twenty-seven years ago, I served as the chief businessman and Batavia judge, specializing in Chinese cases."

    "Twenty-six years ago, I served as the chairman of the Batavia City Council."

    "Twenty-four years ago, I was transferred to be the governor of Dayuan (Taiwan). It took three years to turn the Dayuan Shop into a profit."

    "Twenty years ago, I led a fleet to wipe out pirates and was defeated by Zheng Zhilong in Liuluo Bay. Since then, I know that when dealing with the Chinese, I must always be careful."

    "Since eighteen years ago, I have personally led troops and successively conquered Madou Society, Xingang Society, Xiaolong Society, Damujiang, Xiaoliuqiu 28 tribes swore allegiance to the company."

    "I drew the blueprints of Zeelandia Castle by myself, and won funds for the construction of Zeelandia Castle. When Zeelandia Castle was about to be completed, I was suddenly transferred away. I left behind a group of tribes who surrendered and worked every year.  The Dayuan colony that can make profits and has a strong fortress, but I was transferred at a critical moment! And now, the Dayuan colony I built has become a Chinese Taiwan!"

    The little old man's name is Hans Putmans, the executioner who massacred the aborigines of Taiwan, and at the same time the strongman who single-handedly built the colony of Taiwan.

    It was also this guy who personally led the fleet in the battle of Liuluo Bay.

    Those who are older than Putmans must either return to China or die.  He was clapping the table in the council right now, and no one dared to say anything, even the governor remained silent.

    Putmans continued: "When I was transferred back to the Netherlands, I was the commander-in-chief of the East India Fleet. It was a vain position without any real power, because I resigned after I returned home. I became a victim of some shareholders' struggle for power.  Holland was very unhappy. Malacca was lost, I was hired back by the company, and I was sent to Batavia when I was fifty years old. The company asked me to restrain the governor to prevent the governor from angering the Chinese. But what is the governor doing?  Attack the vassal state of China!"

    Rainiers finally spoke: "The attack on Nanbawa was voted by the council."

    "I voted no!" Putmans yelled, "You guys, think I'm too old to follow my advice on everything! Was it useful for me to stop? All I could do was vote one  Vote no!"

    Rainiers knew he was wrong, and changed the subject: "Sir, what we should do now is not to quarrel in the conference room, but to discuss how to negotiate with the Chinese."

    Putmans put out his cigar, pointed to the governor's nose and said, "When we came to the Far East, we were cautious in everything we did. You young people, thinking that the company has become stronger, dared to provoke China at will. Seventeen years ago  A few days ago, the company robbed a Chinese merchant ship, and the Chinese businessman wrote to me. How did I do it? I will immediately compensate for the loss! Because I know that you can slaughter the natives at will, but you must respect the Chinese!"

    The old guy became more and more angry as he talked: "Do you know how the company started trading in the Far East? At that time, the Ming Dynasty banned maritime trade, so the company had to keep bribing officials and obtaining licenses one after another with great difficulty.  When we first occupied Dayuan (Taiwan), Chinese merchants did not come to do business at all. We need to kidnap Chinese merchant ships, not to rob their goods, but to force them to sell goods! And you, now the Ming Dynasty has changed  Datong Kingdom has opened up its ports to do business with the company. You should do better, but the company's profits are decreasing year by year!"

    Putmans' statement is generally true. When he governed Tainan, due to various reasons, Chinese businessmen did not do business.

    This guy first prohibited Dutch ships from robbing Chinese ships, and then kidnapped Chinese ships to trade in Taiwan.  After going back and forth, the Chinese maritime merchants found that their ship was kidnapped, but there was no loss, and they soon trusted the Dutch in Tainan.  In this way, Tainan's trade prospered rapidly, turning losses into profits within three years.

    Putmans lied a little. Seventeen years ago, the Chinese ship was robbed. After he received the letter of complaint from the Chinese businessman, he did not pay compensation. Instead, he wrote back personally saying that it was a misunderstanding.

    It was indeed a misunderstanding. A Dutch merchant ship robbed the Chinese merchant ship in violation of orders. Putmans severely punished those people and pocketed the stolen goods.

    You can’t talk about embezzling dirty goods. Putmans must behave uprightly. He continued to slap the table and said: "Datong China is stronger than Ming China. You only know that trade is better, but you have never looked squarely at China.  even the loss of Malacca. Now, there are only 800 soldiers left in the castle, and the reinforcements from India have overwhelmedWent out.  It is impossible for us to have any more reinforcements. If the castle cannot be defended, it must surrender!  The condition of surrender is to keep the Chinese fleet away from the port and let our fleet pick us up.  The Far East headquarters of the East India Company can only be located in India in the future!  "

    Rainiers asked: "The Spice Islands are gone? Once the Far East headquarters moves to India, it will be difficult to control the Spice Islands. Losing Batavia, losing the Spice Islands, I will die a miserable death after returning home!"

    "That's your business!"

    Putmans said: "The ships that came to the Far East in the past mainly carried Indian cotton cloth. Now that Chinese cotton cloth is cheap, we can only ship opium, otherwise we will be almost empty. The opium market is so big, and other goods are often unsalable. We  Even if we continue to defend Batavia, the profit will be lower and lower. What's more, the Chinese have already attacked Batavia, can the Spice Islands hold? Vote!"

    The voting result was 5:2, and the council decided to surrender.

    Director General Jonas is with Governor Rainiers.  Seeing that the situation was out of control, he said to Rainiers: "The vote is invalid, order to arrest people."

    The Council instantly turned into a grand banquet, Rainiers opened the door and said to the outside: "Arrest!"

    A group of the governor's cronies rushed into the conference room and took the members away forcibly.

    The Far East headquarters of the Dutch East India Company has long since become too big.

    First of all, the governor cannot bypass the parliament to do things, but this regulation is useless.  Especially when the Governor joins hands with the Director-General (No. 2), he can manipulate the MPs arbitrarily and treat the votes of the MPs as bullshit.

    Second, the Far East Council must obey the seventeen-member meeting of the Dutch headquarters.  However, the orders of the foreign rulers are not accepted. The Far East Council often ignores the orders of the headquarters and writes back to the Netherlands to explain the reasons.  It takes two or three years for the letters to go back and forth, and the letters deliberately write a lot of nonsense, and before the bullshit is over, the matter is over.

    The governor became angry and arrested the congressman. This happened in history, but it will have to wait for decades.

    At that time, the Chinese in Batavia launched an uprising.  The governor convened a council to discuss how to solve the problem. One group believed that it should be suppressed by force, while the other group suggested appeasement and that the Chinese should be treated kindly.

    The parliamentary vote was inconclusive, with the Governor and Director-General disagreeing.

    In anger, the governor ordered the arrest of the director-general, and all the congressmen, and planned to send them back to the Netherlands after being imprisoned.  At this moment, the situation was reversed, the Dutch headquarters sent a new appointment, the director-general was promoted to governor, and the governor was ordered to step down as soon as possible.

    "What are you doing? Are you going to rebel against independence?" When Putmans was dragged out, he grabbed the door frame and roared.

    Rainiers said contemptuously: "What do you civilians know?"

    Putmans stopped talking for a moment. As a commoner, he really didn't understand why the disputes between noble factions ignored the interests of the company.

    It's not bad now, but in a few decades, the factional struggle of the Dutch East India Company has reached the level of black and white party struggle.  Once the governor and the director general come from the same faction, they will join forces to benefit their own group, and even harm the interests of the entire company.

    Rainiers cannot surrender. Once he surrenders, he will take full responsibility, and the faction behind him will also be impeached, and then lose the right to speak for a long time.  He must stick to the castle, even if he dies, until the last moment.

    The story of the promotion from a small employee to a governor has long since disappeared. That kind of situation only appeared during the pioneering period.

    Today's Governor of Batavia is all Dutch nobles, all of whom were airborne from the Netherlands.  All their actions are based on their own family and faction.

    "All soldiers, double the salary, double the food! All the staff and civilians must take up arms, even women must fight!" Rainiers is not afraid of death, he must die for the family, and even the people in the castle  Also pulled to die.

    The writer Neuhof wrote in his diary: "The governor is crazy, and the director-general is also crazy. They arrested the members and representatives of the members. They joined forces to implement dictatorship in Batavia. This violated the company's regulations and is absolutely not allowed.  Allowed. The civil servants are already panicked, and they don’t know what to do. When the governor took office, he brought cronies from the Netherlands, including a small team of soldiers. These lunatics only listen to the governor’s words and want to bring everyone together  Go to hell. We, it seems, should do something, the Chinese are very kind to those who surrender, and I didn’t suffer abuse when I surrendered in Malacca"

    Dutch soldiers were sent to defend four bastions.

    Civilian staff to assist with logistical work.

    Dutch commoners, assigned to sections of the castle walls.

    The governor also executed a sleeping sentry, which made everyone silent, for fear that he would also die inexplicably.

    The Dutch cheered up and defended the city, and it seemed that the defense was tighter.

    However, there are many discussions in private. One is that he does not want to die here, and the other is that he is afraid of the governor's dictatorship.

    "Do you want to die?" Neuhoff found a staff member.

    The staff shook his head: "Of course not."

    Neuhof said: "We are all civilians, and we go to sea to make a living. Now that the nobles are going to take us to die, are you willing to resist?"

    The staff asked: "How to resist?"

    Neuhoff said: "Tell me who you trust most, this person must not want to die."?This made everyone silent, for fear that they would also die inexplicably.

 Text 827【Siege Ball】

    The writer Johann Neuhof was by no means born in the bottom of the poor, because he was good at reading, writing and painting.

    Moreover, initially as a reserve officer, he went to Brazil, a colony of the Dutch West India Company.

    But to say how rich his family is is pure nonsense.  This guy has also been a sailor, which belongs to the most difficult, tiring and dangerous profession, and he doesn't know how to clean the deck with a little background.

    "Sir, Mrs. Witherson, I invite you to the ball tonight." A servant came to hand the invitation.

    prom?

    The castle was surrounded, and there were still people holding a ball.

    Neuhoff held the invitation in both hands: "Please tell Madam, I will attend on time."

    Neuhoff would definitely scoff at someone else holding a ball.

    But Mrs. Witsen's ball, Neuhof must attend.  Because his benefactor's surname is Wetson, if he hadn't been supported by his benefactor, he would still be fooling around in America now.

    Mrs. Witson's husband is the nephew of Mrs. Engong, and one of the arrested MPs!

    As night fell, many soldiers and civilians were still on duty to guard against Chinese sneak attacks.

    However, in a certain hall of the castle, more than two hundred candles were lit.  Some candles are placed in wall sconces, some are placed in chandeliers, and some are placed on tabletops.

    The interior is brightly lit, and food and wine are constantly being served.

    Mrs. Wittsen, with heavy makeup, was walking around the audience holding a glass of wine, and soon came to Neuhoff: "I'm glad you can come, Mr. Neuhoff."

    "It's an honor to be invited by my lady!" Neuhof bent down and kissed the back of the lady's hand.

    Guests arrived one after another, all of them were high-level company employees and city officials, as well as their wives and daughters (all mistresses and illegitimate daughters) and sons-in-law.

    The women at the ball, young and old, were all mixed blood.

    That Mrs. Witherson is also of mixed race, and her father was the previous governor.  Her mother was from Japan (Portuguese-Japanese mixed race), was arrested as a Catholic, and was sold to the Dutch and sent to Batavia, where she became one of the governor's mistresses and maids.

    In early Batavia, there was a shortage of women.

    Han people can only marry Javanese natives, and gradually there are Han women.  As long as they are Han women, even if they look crooked, they will be snapped up by Han men.

    How scarce are Han women?

    According to Batavia's official records, Han women often turn against their husbands.  Sometimes they just got divorced after a few quarrels, and they don't have to worry about whether they can remarry after divorce. The better the family background, the more this is the case.

    The most important reason for divorce is that the wife finds out that her husband is keeping a concubine, and this kind of extramarital affair is completely intolerable.  The second is that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not harmonious, and the Han woman is angry with her mother-in-law and wants to break up with her husband.

    There are even parents of Han girls who force their daughters to divorce and remarry because they can't get used to their son-in-law's uselessness.

    In order to curb this phenomenon, the Dutch and the Han people jointly promulgated relevant laws and regulations: first, Han people need to pay marriage tax when they get married;  Permit; Fourth, once you marry illegally, you must be deported.

    And the Dutch also lack women.

    Initially, women were transported from Europe, but there were two problems. One was that the cost of long-distance transportation was too high, and the other was that most of the women transported were prostitutes.  Many of these European prostitutes suffered from venereal disease, and were disgusted by the Dutch, who even nicknamed the prostitutes "rotten pears".

    ?It just so happened that the Japanese shogunate fell out with Portugal and arrested and killed Japanese Catholics.

    The Dutch took the opportunity to buy, and those Japanese-Portuguese mixed-race women became sought-after items for the company's executives.  Ordinary Japanese women are assigned to middle and low-level company employees.

    The illegitimate offspring of the company's top executives, the boy was sent back to the Netherlands to study, and the girl stayed in Batavia.  These girls will marry new company employees, and the father-in-law will train his son-in-law as a confidant, and cultivate cronies through marriage. After decades, they will be intertwined.

    The Mrs. Witson in front of her is one of the best.

    Although her former governor's father has returned to China, her husband is the chairman of the Batavia City Council and a member of the company's East India Council.  Moreover, her husband listened to her very much, because her father was based in the Netherlands, and she herself had a business in Batavia, and she earned far more money than her husband.

    "Bang!"

    The door was slammed open.

    Governor Rainiers led his troops in and ordered: "According to the wartime decree, candles, food, alcohol belong to war materials, and all are temporarily confiscated!"

    "Stop!"

    &nbs??, he is more for himself, even if he is desperate to keep the greedy money.

    Jonas is even more interesting. His wife and children who stayed in Holland wrote to say they bought war bonds.  All the savings in the family were bought in British bonds, hoping that the British would win the war.

    You heard me right, before the war between Britain and the Netherlands broke out, the Netherlands not only sold warships to the UK, but the UK could also get war loans from the Netherlands.  Not to mention these things, during the war between the two countries, Britain directly issued war bonds in the Netherlands, and there were not a few Dutch people who bought British war bonds.

    Jonas was stunned when he received a letter from his family.

    He firmly believes that Britain will fail, and the bonds bought by his wife and children must be in vain!

    So he can't surrender, he has to last until China withdraws its troops, and then bring the embezzled money back to China, otherwise he won't even have the money to return to China for retirement.

    "Bang bang bang!"

    There were sporadic gunshots outside, and soon the gunfire became more and more intensive.

    Rainiers stood up in surprise: "It was shot outside the Governor's Mansion, someone turned traitor!" &lt;/div&gt

 Text 828【Geometry Problems】

    Chapter 831 828

    (Yesterday, this chapter was reviewed by the card, and all the red parts that violated the regulations were deleted. When applying for unbanning, there were several large sections of illegal content. If you want to apply for unbanning again, you have to wait until two days later. So this chapter is simply rewritten, too lazy  The application has been lifted.)

    Batavia City, the former Dutch municipal building.

    Zhang Xianzhong has made meritorious service in continuous battles, and now he has become awe-inspiring. He slapped the table and said, "Angel Liu, these Indian prisoners can no longer be used. They can't work one by one, and they eat like rice buckets. They can all be used as cannon fodder in the siege!"

    "Just give me a bowl of gruel every day." Liu Hanyi said.

    Zhang Xianzhong said: "I definitely won't let them eat more, but they only eat a bowl of gruel, and they don't want to work at all. They can't move a few times when they are whipped. If the supervisor doesn't watch, they will lie on the ground to dry."  The sun. I also ordered that if you do a good job, you can eat more. This trick is useful for Taiwanese headhunters, but it doesn’t work for those Indian captives.”

    Deputy envoy Sun Jie said: "I asked rich Indian businessmen, and these captives are all untouchables. They can only do things like dig out excrement and move corpses. They are not allowed to believe in religion, and they are not allowed to reincarnate. They will be like that in this life, no matter you  They won't believe any promises you make. You said you can eat more if you do a good job, have you ever rewarded anyone?"

    "Repay the reward? The work given will never be finished. It's good if I don't kill them." Zhang Xianzhong said angrily.

    Sun Jie said with a smile: "Only when the Shang monarch migrates to the woods and establishes the faith can he reform the law in Qin. Village head Zhang can also reward the rice and establish the faith, regardless of whether the Indian captives have completed their work or not. Every day, choose the three who do the most work, in front of the rest.  For the captives’ noodles, give them an extra bowl of porridge. Those who are willing to work more will be rewarded to four people every day. Keep going up, ten or twenty will be rewarded every day. Then divide the Indian prisoners into groups, which group will work the best  Well, give everyone an extra bowl of porridge. The team leader will punish those who don’t want to work in order to eat more. But remember, even after receiving rewards, they can’t really make them full. Only hungry people,  Only then did I realize that eating more is very precious.”

    "Will this work?" Zhang Xianzhong questioned.

    "Give it a try, Village Chief Zhang is still reluctant to give a few more bowls of porridge a day?" Liu Hanyi laughed.

    Zhang Xianzhong said depressedly: "Then give it a try."

    The insensitivity of the Indian untouchables is such that they see no hope at all.

    Sun Jie said: "These hundreds of Indian captives can actually be used for good. First reward Lixin, change their ideas, and make them feel that they are also useful. Then let them be tenants in Luzon. They are real tenants, not what  Serfs. As long as they are willing to work, as long as they learn how to farm, no matter how lazy they are, they will be enough. In the future, the Datong army will kill India, and if these hundreds of Indian untouchables are captured, they will be able to recruit and educate more untouchables."

    Liu Hanyi said: "We'll talk about the Indian affairs later. Should we intensify our offensive? In a few days, the rainy season will come. I heard that the rainy season will last for three months."

    Sun Kewang said: "It's not easy to fight. The Dutch castle has four bastions. The walls are short and thick, and the artillery can't break them down. No matter which side you attack from, you will be hit by the enemy in the bastions.  arrive."

    Zhang Xianzhong said: "The usual method of digging ditches is not easy to use here. There are moats on all sides of the castle, and all the moats must be filled first. One side of the moat is also connected to the sea. The other two sides of the moat are connected to the Tiger Canal.  Connected. It can’t be directly filled there, but a canal must be dug first to divert the water from the Tiger Canal to another place to flow into the sea.”

    Everyone was speechless.

    If you want to fill the moat of the Dutch castle, the amount of work is not so large. You have to dig a canal to drain the water first, otherwise the city where the Datong Army is stationed will be flooded.

    "Can it be flooded" Sun Jie said halfway, but he felt amused, "Well, pretend I didn't say it."

    The castle is close to the sea, even if it is flooded, it will soon flow into the sea.

    Everyone discussed repeatedly, but couldn't think of a good way, so they could only besieged until the castle ran out of food.

    Tie Hong asked: "Do you want another night attack?"

    "I'm afraid it's not easy to fight." Zhang Xianzhong shook his head.

    At this moment, an officer in his twenties raised his hand.

    The officer's name is Li Cunhui, and he is a missionary officer transferred from Liaodong.  If there were casualties in the Luzon Datong Army, ordinary soldiers would supplement them on the spot, but mission officers were transferred from the mainland.

    Li Cunhui said: "The Liaodong Tazi's cities also have sharp-edged enemy towers similar to bastions. Later, they learned from us to build bastions. I have participated in several siege battles. The difficulty of attacking the bastion is that the besiegers are on the way to attack.  , a large number of casualties were caused by the bombardment of the defending artillery. However, the artillery of the siege side can hardly cause damage to the defenders. I have been studying mathematics by myself in the army.; "Push the cannon back!" Tie Hong ordered quickly.

    It is not a formal siege now, only three artillery pieces are used for experiments.  And the city fire artillery of the defenders will definitely be able to smash the fortifications of the artillery positions.

    After the experiment was over, everyone went back to summarize.

    Sun Kewang said: "This method is really useful. But it can only hit the defenders on the city wall, not the defenders in the bastion."

    Lieutenant General Zhan said: "It is enough to hit the defenders on the city wall. The bastions are dealt with by digging trenches, and the artillery suppresses the enemies on the city walls. When attacking the city, many people will be killed. If the city has no edges  Fortress, with this bombardment method alone, the defenders dare not stand on the wall, so the siege can be taken easily?"

    Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, if there was such a method of firing artillery a month ago, why would we use night raids when we attacked Batavia?"

    "It's not easy to win," Li Cunhui said, "but it can indeed reduce the casualties of the siege. I have been thinking about it when I was in Liaodong, but I didn't learn analytic geometry at that time. It was the bombardment of Batavia City.  At that time, I had some ideas, and I finally figured it out two days ago."

    The method is very good and can be promoted by the whole army, but it is useless against the bastion in front of us, mainly because the moat is too disgusting.

    Of course, it can be knocked down with a little effort.

    First excavate the canal and divert the water from the Tiger Canal to other places into the sea.  Then fill the moat with negative soil, and then excavate z-shaped trenches on the edges and corners, build fortifications with extended parallel trenches, and suppress the city wall in a parallel and low elevation angle, so that the bastion can be forcibly attacked.

    This offensive plan has to wait until the rainy season has passed.

    If everything goes well, it should take three months from digging the canal to capturing the castle.  &lt;/div&gt

 Text 829 [Breaking the Governor's Mansion]

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Inside the castle, there were sporadic gunshots.

    After hearing the news, civil and military officials came to the north city wall to check.

    Liu Hanyi asked: "What are the Dutch doing?"

    A watchman who just got off the hot air balloon pointed in the direction of the castle and said, "There are gunshots coming from the position of the Dutch Governor's Palace. At first there were sporadic gunshots, then the sounds became denser, and then became sparser again. It has been going on for a long time.  For more than ten minutes. The defenders of the four bastions of the enemy army went towards the governor's mansion one after another."

    This is the role of the hot air balloon. If you stand on the city wall and observe, you will definitely not be able to see it so clearly.

    "The enemy's internal strife?" Liu Hanyi asked doubtfully.

    Deputy envoy Sun Jie asked: "Is it because the enemy is using tricks to lure us to attack, and then kill us by surprise?"

    "I'll go up and have a look!" Zhang Xianzhong said.

    Soon, Zhang Xianzhong also boarded the hot air balloon, picked up the binoculars and observed carefully.

    Due to the occlusion of the building, it is difficult for outsiders to see clearly what is going on inside the castle.

    Fortunately, the Governor's Mansion was built quite high, and Dutch soldiers could be vaguely seen hiding on the roof of the Governor's Mansion, shooting continuously towards the outside of the Governor's Mansion.  Similarly, there are also soldiers outside the Governor's Mansion, firing guns into it, and bullets leave marks on the outer wall from time to time.

    And outside the Governor's Mansion, there seemed to be more than one force, and they were also firing at each other.

    Zhang Xianzhong said to the flag commander: "Wave the flag and gather troops to attack!"

    It was impossible for the flag commander to listen to Zhang Xianzhong, but he admired Zhang Xianzhong a lot, and chose to carry out half of it, waving the flag order to gather soldiers.

    Liu Hanyi couldn't understand Ling Qi and asked, "What did you say on the hot air balloon?"

    Tie Hong explained: "Gather soldiers."

    Liu Hanyi was overjoyed: "Cun Zhang has been on the battlefield for a long time, so he must be right. Hurry up and gather troops to attack the castle!"

    Zhang Xianzhong slipped down from the hot air balloon and said impatiently: "I can't wait, count as much as you gather, and attack the city immediately. This opportunity must be seized, and the enemy must not be allowed to quell the civil strife!"

    Tie Hong immediately said: "The soldiers here, you and I, go to the nearest bastion at the southeast corner. I will attack the southwest side of the bastion, and you will attack the southeast side of the bastion. Yu Zhan, you continue to gather troops, depending on the situation.  Choose which side to support."

    "yes!"

    Deputy General Zhan took the order.

    Wooden planks, rafts and wooden ladders have been garrisoned in Beicheng District. At this moment, the soldiers rushed out of the city gate after lifting them up.

    The Datong Army, Ronin, and Han Rebels were all crossing the river. The Dutch defenders in the bastions were still hesitating whether to fire.  Because their commanders are attacking each other around the governor's mansion. Some people want to rebel and seize the governor, while others want to quell the chaos and protect the governor. There are no officers in the bastion to command for the time being.

    Even if there is no commander, the first reaction of the defenders should be to shoot and fire.

    The reason why they hesitated was because they still wanted to survive in their hearts, and they didn't want to be besieged by the Chinese army until they starved to death.

    This time, there were a few European soldiers who followed the attack.

    When they voluntarily surrendered in Malacca, they promised to let them continue to serve as soldiers, but at first they were only auxiliary soldiers.  Some of the soldiers of the Datong Army stationed in Malacca died of illness due to acclimatization and illness, so they recruited European auxiliary soldiers to supplement them, and were borrowed by Liu Hanyi to attack Batavia.

    Although these were the Dutch army who surrendered, the Portuguese and Germans were the most numerous.

    At this moment, the ladder was just being built, and before they had time to climb, the European soldiers shouted in Portuguese and German: "We surrendered in Malacca, and served as soldiers for the Chinese emperor. We can have enough food every day and take several times your military pay."  , and can save money to buy silk to make clothes! I have married a wife, a very obedient Malay woman. She washes and mends my clothes and gives birth to my children. Do you want to ask for a wife? Do you want to  Have enough food? Do you want to have a son?"

    There were not many soldiers left in the bastion. Seeing that the enemy was already climbing the city wall, and there were European soldiers shouting, they actually put down their weapons and surrendered on the spot.

    And the Dutch civilians on the city wall threw down their weapons and fled to the Governor's Palace the moment the Chinese army entered the bastion.

    The prince of Johor also came with Johor soldiers. Seeing that the siege was going well, his eyes lit up immediately, and he drew out his scimitar and shouted: "Heroes and fearless Johor warriors, come and kill the Dutch with me!"

    Seeing this, Sun Jie shouted anxiously: "Don't let Johor soldiers enter the castle, they will kill indiscriminately, these Dutchmen are still useful!"

    In fact, there was no need for Johor soldiers to kill indiscriminately. The Dutch soldiers who had defected had already rushed in with the Chinese army.  They killed Dutch civilians when they encountered them, and robbed their property by the way, without any intention at all.He said to the adjutant: "Go out and tell the Chinese that I am willing to surrender and give them all my treasures, and they must guarantee my safety."

    The adjutant turned down from the balcony on the second floor tremblingly, raised his hands and walked forward, repeating what Rainiers said.

    Zhang Xianzhong couldn't help sneering: "Surrender only after hitting the door of the house. If there were such cheap things in the world, I wouldn't be the village head in Taiwan."

    During the night attack, Tie Hong had his left ring finger and little finger cut off. He was very upset with the governor who ordered the resistance. At this moment, he said expressionlessly: "Blast open the gate of the governor's mansion!"

    "Boom boom boom!"

    A few shells flew by, and the adjutant was so frightened that he quickly lay down on the ground.

    The enemy on the balcony on the second floor still wanted to shoot, but the artillery was aimed at the balcony long ago, smashing the stone railing to pieces.

    Sun Kewang took the opportunity to lead the crowd to rush over, and together they smashed open the door blocked by the furniture.  In fact, half of the gate had been blown to pieces, and the rotten cabinets blocked inside were hard to deal with, and soldiers were hiding somewhere and firing guns at the gate.

    Zhang Xianzhong ordered the ronin to climb from all sides, and after paying a few lives, he occupied the messy balcony.

    Governor Rainiers was arrested, but he still wanted to maintain his aristocratic demeanor and refused to kneel down.  He was hit on the shoulder by the butt of a gun, kicked violently in the crook of his leg, and slammed his knee on the ground. He struggled to get up: "I am a nobleman, please give me the treatment I deserve. China is the same as the Netherlands.  In a civilized country, we are not the kind of uncivilized natives. I admit that I have failed, and you can take everything here. But please be kind to me, give me a separate room, and preferably a few more books for entertainment.  My family will send enough silver taels to redeem me at a high price."

    Neuhof shouted: "We all surrender, and the governor ordered us to stick to it!"

    Tie Hong heard the words and immediately ordered: "Catch them, escort them to Nanjing, and hand them over to His Majesty."

    Not long after, soldiers dragged out a corpse, and the director-general committed suicide in the Governor's Palace.

    The congressmen who were arrested by the governor, as well as Mrs. Witherson, were also brought out by the soldiers for questioning.

    Mrs. Witsen is of Japanese-Portuguese-Dutch mixed race. She is petite, fair-skinned, and blue-eyed. She is charming in her twenties, and she winks at everyone as soon as she shows up.

    There is no other meaning, she brought a lot of goods and hid in the castle, the city and her shop property, she just wanted to keep these properties of her own.

    Don't even think about it!

    As long as they hide in the castle, all property will be confiscated.  Otherwise, where will military spending come from?

    Still leave it to the Johor soldiers to benefit. Although these guys are useless, they are still very qualified to fill the scene.  If you don't give me some sweets, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to ask Johor to borrow troops next time.

    Datong soldiers, Han volunteers and Luzon rogues must also be rewarded sufficiently.

    Anyway, from officers to soldiers, they will participate in the distribution of spoils.  Envoys such as Liu Hanyi and Sun Jie value merit, and the rest of the soldiers can get money.

    The imperial court will receive a very reasonable account, as for how much will be divided in private, only the ghost knows.

    It is difficult to find out about things overseas.

    Many Dutchmen were taken away, crying and crying all the way.

    Especially those civilians, most of them are of mixed race. They have lived in Batavia since they were young, and they have no sense of belonging to the Netherlands.  And their "homeland" is no longer theirs, and they don't know what to do in the future.

    Sun Jie took the statistical list, found Liu Hanyi and said: "The castle was confiscated, and many people were killed indiscriminately. Dutch soldiers, there are 426 people left. Dutch civilians, there are 914 people left. East India Company employees, there are more than 30 people left.  .”

    Liu Hanyi said: "The governor cannot be killed, he must be released. We need him to sign the armistice treaty. If he is not released, the treaty he signed will be invalid. Instead, let him go back.  Continue to infight.?

 Text 830 [Bet on the negotiation table]

    Not to mention the Governor of Batavia, even the Dutch Seventeen-member Conference is not qualified to sign the treaty on behalf of the Netherlands.

    But in practice, the Dutch government chose to accept all the treaties signed by Governor Batavia.  Because of these treaties, most of them are beneficial to the Netherlands.

    Since all favorable treaties are recognized, unfavorable treaties must be recognized even if they are not recognized, otherwise it will give Britain, Portugal, and Spain an excuse to tear up the treaty.

    Liu Hanyi and Sun D, ??the two envoys, made such a big commotion, they just wanted to sign the treaty quickly and finalize the fruits of victory.

    It's safe to put it in your pocket!

    Su Dingguo was called to help out with ideas. This guy has dealt with the Dutch since he was a child, and he was full of bad ideas:

    "Dutch East India Company, in recent years, there has been a distinction between the local faction and the local faction. Many of the officials of the local faction are not aristocrats, and they are slowly climbed up by small staff. The forces in Southeast Asia and India are intertwined."

    "The Dutch headquarters, in order to curb this phenomenon, either recalled the high-level staff to the country, or transferred the high-level staff between the colonies. The high-level staff who were transferred will marry each other, and this marriage is not known by the Dutch headquarters.  Yes. Because the object of the marriage is their illegitimate child here. Young employees with potential will also be recruited as son-in-law. Son-in-law is more important than son-in-law, and is often assigned to take up important positions."

    "The councilors and councilor representatives arrested by the governor belong to the local faction and often oppose the governor. This time the governor and the governor's cronies can be released, but those local councilors cannot be let go. After the governor signs the treaty, let him take the  The cronies went to India. In order to protect himself, the governor must have poured dirty water on the heads of the congressmen, saying that Batavia was lost because the congressmen surrendered."

    "The Dutch headquarters has been suppressing the local faction, and even no longer allows the local faction to be the governor. At that time, the headquarters is very likely to favor the governor, and the main reason for the loss of Batavia is that these congressmen surrendered. The Dutch East India Company's local  Pai, the contradiction between Ken and the headquarters will become more and more serious. One day the imperial court will go to India to attack the Dutch castle, and it is estimated that the Dutch will break out their own internal strife."

    After hearing these words, Liu Hanyi exchanged a glance with Sun D.

    The so-called local faction has only been formed in the past ten years.

    At the beginning, the environment faced by the Dutch East India Company was very harsh, and a group of poor people struggled with their heads in Asia.  And those real nobles will run away after a few years, so the rise of ordinary employees is very fast.

    It's like the little old man who slapped the table and scolded the governor. From a low-level businessman, he became the chairman of the municipal council in a few years, and then took full control of the Taiwanese colony.  Even if he is forcibly transferred back to the headquarters, he will have to be given the post of commander-in-chief of the East India Fleet.

    The most powerful governor, Fan Dimen, also climbed up from the bottom.

    But now, the governor and fleet commander can only be served by nobles sent from the country.  Those low-level employees of the company have their room for improvement sealed. At most, they can become company councilors, and they simply form cliques to cultivate local influence.

    If it were not for the rise of China, the next step for these local factions would be to fully build a colonial society: encourage the Dutch to build plantations, encourage the Dutch to start companies, and then do business in partnership with the Chinese and Javanese nobles.  Then build various public facilities and entertainment facilities, treat the colony as their own home, and even if they retire, they will never return to the Netherlands.

    What are you doing back home?

    They are not nobles when they return to the Netherlands, but they can continue to be superiors if they stay in the colony.

    One afternoon, Governor Rainiers was escorted to negotiate.

    Sitting at the negotiating table, Rainiers was very dissatisfied: "Is this your country's negotiating attitude? I need an adjutant and a clerk."

    Liu Hanyi sneered: "I will give you two options, one is to continue the negotiation, and the other is to be taken to Nanjing for trial. I can guarantee that after the trial, you will be beheaded."

    Rainiers fell silent for a moment.

    Seeing that this guy didn't make a statement, Sun D shouted: "Put it down and bring it back to Nanjing!"

    Two soldiers immediately dragged Rainiers out. The guy was obviously frightened, and quickly shouted: "I am willing to negotiate!"

    Liu Hanyi raised her hand: "Bring it back."

    Sitting down again, Rainiers said: "I am now a prisoner, and a prisoner is not qualified to negotiate on behalf of the company. Moreover, I need the authorization of the council. If there is no authorization, it is useless for the governor to sign the treaty.  "

    Liu Hanyi asked: "You still need authorization from the council? You have arrested all the councilors."

    "That was an extraordinary moment," Rainiers said.

    Sun D said: "Now is also an extraordinary time. But don't worry,??French, Portuguese, Spaniards appreciate.  These countries have all signed treaties with the Netherlands that have not yet expired. As long as the Netherlands dares not admit it, other countries will also have an excuse to tear up the treaty.

    Several warships, transporting five hundred troops, headed quickly towards Ambon Island.

    Ambon Island is next to Seram Island, and there is a Buru Island to the west.

    The aborigines on the island are extremely fierce, and have broken through Portuguese and Spanish castles many times, and once defeated the Dutch colonists.

    In order to prevent the indigenous rebellion, the Netherlands has carried out massacres many times.  Because the massacre was so excessive, even Britain, Portugal, Spain and other countries couldn't stand it, and accused the Dutch colonists of being inhumane.

    By the way, during the negotiations between Cromwell and the Netherlands, one of the clauses of the armistice treaty was: The Netherlands compensated the descendants of the Abbon Islanders who were massacred by 300,000 Dutch guilders.

    Holland really agreed. As for whether to pay or not, only the devil knows.

    Even if the Dutch are willing to accompany them, the natives dare not take it.  The treaty only said that the money should be paid, but it didn't say that the massacre could not continue. It was enough to kill the natives who received the compensation.

    Cromwell never thought about making the Netherlands lose money. Many contents of the armistice treaty are not operable, and they are simply disgusting the Netherlands.

    Of course, there is a sum of money that must be paid.

    Because when the Netherlands carried out the massacre, it also killed all the British on the island.

    Seeing the Chinese ships approaching, the Dutch officers in Ambon immediately blew their horns to gather soldiers for defense.

    There are only more than 80 Dutch defenders here, and there are only about a hundred people including civilians and civilians.

    The writer Neuhof went ashore in a small boat, took out a document issued by the governor, and said to the Dutch in the city: "We have lost the war. Ambon Island was ceded to China. You should pack up your things and prepare to leave."

    An island rich in spices fell into the hands of China.  &lt;/div&gt

 Body 831【Re-acquisition of Dependent States】

    Governor Rainiers of Batavia, several members of parliament and their representatives, more than a dozen high-level company employees, more than 20 civilian staff, and more than 400 Dutch soldiers were tied into a string with ropes and escorted to the pier.

    The governor once arrested members of parliament, and high-level staff once led soldiers to besiege the governor's mansion in an attempt to capture the governor and surrender.

    The contradictions between each other have long been irreconcilable.

    "I want to stay here, I want to be Chinese!" A large number of Dutch soldiers shouted.

    They have besieged the Governor's Mansion, what if they leave here and are retaliated by the Governor wearing small shoes?

    Liu Hanyi wanted to laugh a lot, and ordered: "Let them divide into two teams, and choose which team to go."

    The captive team soon became distinct.

    The governor and his cronies, as well as the soldiers who tried to rescue the governor's mansion, all spontaneously stood aside.

    On the other side, there are local company executives.

    As for the middle and low-level civil servants, those who have been away from the Netherlands for a long time choose to join the local faction.  He has only been away from the Netherlands for two or three years, and subconsciously went to get together with the governor.

    Even if they get to India, they will not be safe.

    ?Because the representatives of the parliamentarians here are the cronies of certain high-level officials (Governors of India and Ceylon), and represent those high-level officials who stayed in Batavia.  When their representatives were arrested, it meant that they had to go to the countryside to serve as slaves to the Han people.

    Seeing that these people were hesitating, Liu Hanyi continued: "Women under the age of 40, as long as they are willing to stay in Batavia, I will help you find a new husband. If you have children, children under the age of ten, you can take the remarriage to your husband's house  .”

    As soon as this remark came out, hundreds of women walked out on the spot, and more than 20 people brought their children.

    At this time, the Dutch colonists were still unwilling to stay in the colony for the elderly.  Therefore, their wives in the colony can basically be regarded as mistresses.  When high-level employees return to China, they can also arrange for mistresses and illegitimate children to escape.  Those middle and low-level employees, once transferred, will most likely leave with a pat on the back, regardless of the life or death of their wives and children.

    In this case, it is normal for these mistresses to choose to abandon their husbands.

    Many of the lower-class Han people in Batavia can't even marry native wives.  These women stayed and just married the low-level Han people, and Liu Hanyi was already thinking of ways to govern this place.

    Because according to Kuang Hong's example, Liu Hanyi is likely to be appointed Governor of Batavia!

    After about twenty minutes, these nearly a thousand mixed-race civilians made their own choices one after another.  Many of the men chose to go to the Indian colonies, while most of the women begged to stay in Batavia.

    In fact, no matter where you go, these mixed-race Chinese are as big as the south of the Yangtze River.

    Then, the Europeans came.

    First bullied by Portugal, then bullied by Spain, and then bullied by the Dutch.  It is a crime to conceive the jade, and the Tertena country is rich in spices, even producing half of the spices in Southeast Asia.

    It is no longer possible now, and the land has shrunk by 70 to 80%.  As far as its land area is concerned, it is roughly equivalent to two Taiwan islands.

    Liu Hanyi took Sudan to the Governor's Mansion, and said: "China is a great country in the Celestial Dynasty, and has never treated its vassals harshly. From now on, as long as you are loyal to His Majesty the Emperor of China, you will definitely not be bullied by Europeans again. China is different from the Netherlands, and will not force you to be inferior.  Sell ??your spices at a low price. Any merchant can buy your spices. Who you sell your spices to is up to you.”

    The sultan was extremely excited when he heard this, and knelt down to the north again, shouting: "Thanks to the great and benevolent Emperor, the royal family and people of Tertena will be His Majesty's servants for generations!"

    The Dutch did not build a castle in the country of Tertena, but the colony of Ambon Island in the Netherlands always deterred the country of Tertena.  As long as the country's spices dare to be sold to a third party, the Netherlands will immediately send troops, and the massacre has been carried out several times.

    Now that Ambon Island is occupied by China, Sultan Tertena is of course overjoyed and has no psychological burden.

    When Magellan sailed around the world and left the Pacific Ocean, he almost landed in Tertena.  The reason for not choosing where to land is simple, because it was Portugal's sphere of influence at the time.

    In order to show his loyalty, the sultan stayed directly in Batavia and planned to go to Nanjing with Liu Hanyi.

    However, Su Dingguo found Liu Hanyi and brought several wealthy Arab and Indian businessmen.

    "Master Angel, Batavia has been defeated, and the next step is to capture Chittagong." Su Dingguo said.

    Liu Hanyi was already satisfied, and didn't want to make any more troubles, but still asked: "Why do you have to occupy Chittagong?"

    Su Dingguo explained: "The Dutch were driven away,Many Chinese goods cannot be shipped out and need to be shipped to India.  Chittagong is a great place, where a group of pirates and the Portuguese ruled.  In the future, Chinese maritime merchants will transport goods to Batavia and Palembang, and we merchants in Batavia and Palembang will be able to transship goods to Chittagong.  Portuguese, British, Dutch, shipped goods from Chittagong to Europe.  "

    Well, just after Batavia was brought down, the merchants are already considering new sea trade routes.

    "Do you have enough cargo ships?" Liu Hanyi asked.

    "Not enough," Su Dingguo shook his head and said, "Just take me.

 Text 832 [Small Country Standing in Forest]

    Batavia has two old names, one is "Sunda Galaba", which means "City of Coconuts", and the Han people call it "Coconut City" for short.

    After the change of dynasty, it was renamed "Jayagarda", which means "City of Triumph", and the Han people called it "Jakarta" for short.

    As for "Batavia", it is the name changed by the Dutch.

    After discussions between imperial envoys and local Han people, it was agreed that the old name of "Coconut City" should be restored.  What Jakarta, what Batavia, there will be no more in the future.

    "Just came the news that another sultan appeared in Matalan." Liu Hanyi laughed happily.

    Sun Jie said: "Let them continue to fight, and then ask the court to confer title after the fight is almost done."

    Today, the Sultan of Mataram is dead, even members of the royal family have been killed, and the capital of Matalam has also been burned.

    Matalam was divided into five parts, four sultans and one governor.

    An aristocratic landowner established himself in Bandung, Burianan, and declared himself the Sultan of Burianan.

    An aristocratic landowner who founded a state in the southwest of the capital of Mata Lanyuan declared himself the Sultan of Thoreau.

    An aristocratic landowner who founded a state southeast of the original capital of Mataran, proclaiming himself the Sultan of Yogyakarta.

    An aristocratic landlord, with the support of the local Han people, established a state in the port of Surabaya and declared himself the Sultan of Surabaya Sultan of Surabaya.

    A Han landlord who established himself as the governor in Semarang, and is subordinate to the governor of Semarang in China.

    These five guys all sent people to Batavia, Coconut City, and asked the Chinese emperor to canonize themselves quickly. It would be even better if the Chinese army could send troops to help.

    Because, they are still fighting!

    The Sultan of Burianan was planning to expand eastward when the Banten army suddenly came from behind.

    Sultan Solo and Sultan of Yogyakarta teamed up to kill King Mataram before.  They burned, killed and looted the original capital, and each established a new capital nearby. Because they were so close together, the two sides were almost in an endless situation.

    On the contrary, the Sultan of Surabaya is the most relaxed, constantly eliminating small groups of surrounding forces, and is about to unify East Java.  If you continue to fight, the west is the territory of the Sultan of Yogyakarta, and the east has to cross the strait to attack Bali.

    "Ambassador, another envoy is asking to see you."

    "Bring him in."

    A wounded native was brought in front of Liu Hanyi, knelt down and said, "Please send troops to rescue Brian'an!"

    Liu Hanyi asked: "Are you sent by the Sultan of Boliangan?"

    The native envoy said: "The 100,000 troops of Wandan Kingdom have captured Sukabumi and are marching towards the city of Brian'an. Messenger, if you don't send troops, it will be too late!"

    Sukabumi is just a small town, which originally belonged to the Banten Kingdom and was forcibly occupied by the Dutch.  When the Wandan army conquered there, it really wasn't an opportunity to invade. It could be said that it was regaining the lost ground.

    "You go to recuperate first, and I will deal with it." Liu Hanyi said ambiguously.

    After the native envoy left, Sun Jie said: "There is no need to send troops. The rainy season has arrived. It has been raining for the past two days. It is impossible for the army of Wandan Kingdom to fight again."

    Liu Hanyi said: "But Wandan Kingdom had to beat and beat, and actually took the opportunity to loot the Han farms in the suburbs when we were besieging the city."

    "It's enough to reprimand and reprimand, and take the opportunity to delineate a clear territory," Sun Jie said, "As a punishment for Wandan Kingdom, the territory around Yecheng must be extended for twenty miles. But let's not go too far, we can admit it  The recently recovered territory of Banten Kingdom."

    This suggestion is disgusting. Coconut City Batavia has expanded twenty miles outward, and the newly added sites are all flat land with fertile soil.

    Most of the territory that Banten Kingdom has recently regained belongs to mountainous areas.

    It is tantamount to assigning the mountainous territory before Mataram to Banten Kingdom as compensation.  And the fertile flatlands of Wandan Kingdom have set aside a large area to be ruled by China.

    Just ask if you want to do it, who told you to rob Han farms?

    "Boom!"

    The rainy season in Java is officially here, as if a hole has been poked out of the sky, and it is pouring rain all day long.

    The wars in various places have also come to an end, everyone has ceased their troops, and we will talk about what to do after the rainy season.

    The army of Banten Kingdom also retreated, some of them were stationed in Sukabumi, and the remaining soldiers all disbanded and went home.  The Sultan of Burian'an was finally able to catch his breath. After being beaten up by the Bandan army, only the city of Burian'an and its surroundings remained in his territory. By the way, there was another sultanate in the north.

    A businessman in the port of Cirebon, taking advantage of Boliangan being attacked by Banten, suddenly chose to launch a rebellion and declared the establishment of the Cirebon Sultanate.

    thesp; Ah Geng had no choice but to accept it.

    To be honest, many of these territories expanded by China belong to large forests, and only sporadic indigenous people are farming and hunting.  Even if he gave up, it would still be acceptable to Wandan Kingdom.

    The main issue is the strategic location. There is only one piece of flat land by the sea, and the Chinese jurisdiction extends outwards. The east exit channel for Banten is very narrow, almost blocking the country of Banten at the westernmost end of Java Island!

    That night, Sultan Ah Geng, who was full of anger and grievances, had to host a banquet to treat Sun Jie warmly.

    At the end of the banquet, Geng called his eldest son Ha Yi, and said through gritted teeth: "This is an unprecedented shame. China is very strong now, and I am powerless to fight against China. But you must remember that you will become a Sudan in the future, and you must always be on guard against China."  People. If China continues to be strong, follow them carefully. Once China declines, send troops to kill them, retake our Jakarta, and kill all the Chinese there!?

 Text 833【Islanders offering soil】

    The Dutch fleet sailed through Malacca without being attacked.  &lt;/p&gt;

    Even when picking up the governor, he went to China's Palembang to resupply once.  Wars belong to wars, and business belongs to business. Now that the war is over, fresh water and food can be replenished with money.  &lt;/p&gt;

    In the cabin, Governor Rainiers said: "Batavia is gone, and occupying Ceylon will not make up for this major loss. Before the headquarters gets the news, we must make up for it. The port of Naga Patam in Portugal is not easy to fight.  But Chittagong is relatively easy, there are only a few Portuguese and some pirates.”&lt;/p&gt;

    Commander-in-Chief Edlan said: "I'm afraid we can't send troops. We seem to have lost the war with the British." &lt;/p&gt;

    "It seems?" Rainiers didn't understand.  &lt;/p&gt;

    Edland said: "A few days ago, I met a few French merchant ships, and they brought the latest news from Europe. In the last naval battle, we lost both with Britain, but our naval commander was killed. Due to being besieged for half a year, Amsterdam  Prices are soaring, food is in short supply, and I heard that many civilians starved to death. We are negotiating with the British, and we are passive in the negotiations.”&lt;/p&gt;

    Rainiers was shocked: "How could it be possible that even the British fleet can't win?"&lt;/p&gt;

    Edlan said: "I am also surprised, but the fact is like this. So I dare not fight the Chinese fleet, because our fleet has suffered heavy losses at the headquarters. If we fight the Chinese fleet again, even if we win, we will definitely win."  The loss is heavy, and it is difficult to replenish ships in the short term. At that time, if China gathers its fleet to attack, we may not even be able to keep the Indian Ocean. Now our army is not enough, we can only defend the existing colonies, and it is impossible to capture Jida  port." &lt;/p&gt;

    When Rainiers heard that the Netherlands lost to England, he didn't feel much sadness, but a tinge of rejoicing.  &lt;/p&gt;

    My loss of Batavia is a major fault, isn't the loss of the Netherlands to England a major fault?  Everyone is in the same boat, so don't make fun of anyone. I can also shirk when faced with inquiries from the headquarters.  &lt;/p&gt;

    Rainiers said to Edlan: "When we arrived in India, we threw those staff and soldiers to the colonies in batches. We took our cronies and went to Colombo to rebuild the Governor's Palace."&lt;/p&gt;

    "Don't you go to Pulicat? It develops best there." Adrian asked.  &lt;/p&gt;

    Rainiers shook his head: "It's because Pulicat has developed so well, and the local forces there are entangled. After I went, I was easily dismissed. Colombo is just the opposite. Not long after it was laid down there, the local factions have not yet had a solid foundation.  Portugal has ruled for hundreds of years, and Colombo is suitable for Europeans to live in, and it is the best place for the government of the company.”&lt;/p&gt;

    Batch after batch of civilians and Dutch soldiers were thrown in the colonies on the east coast of India.  &lt;/p&gt;

    Rainiers landed in Colombo with his cronies and changed the castle left by Portugal into the Governor's Palace. Sri Lanka became the Asian ruling center of the Dutch East India Company.  &lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;/p&gt;

    Cebu.  &lt;/p&gt;

    After losing Luzon, it became the ruling center of the Philippine Governor.  &lt;/p&gt;

    The new governor, Sabignano Manrique Delarra, set off from Spain for Mexico, and then came to the Philippines by boat to take up his post.  &lt;/p&gt;

    "You are finally here, hurry up and do the handover, I have long wanted to leave this damn place." The current governor, Diego Fajardo Chacon, was relieved.  &lt;/p&gt;

    "What's the trouble?" asked Sabignano. &lt;/p&gt;

    Diego said: "Half of the Philippines is rioting, and these natives can't be killed. Also, don't mess with the Chinese, the Netherlands is about to be driven out of Southeast Asia by China."&lt;/p&gt;

    "Has Batavia been captured by China?" Sabignano asked in surprise.  &lt;/p&gt;

    Diego said: "I don't know very well. The news I got is that the Chinese army has surrounded Batavia for almost two months. The reason is that China's vassal state discovered a large gold mine, and the Netherlands sent troops to capture it."  &lt;/p&gt;

    Sabignano gloated at this: "Those greedy Dutch people really deserve it!"&lt;/p&gt;

    Diego said: "Don't worry about the Dutch, I remind you to apply for the formation of more troops as soon as possible. There is a rebel leader named Sumu Luoyi. He instigated and led the indigenous riots. This riot has lasted for four years. Forgive me for my lack of ability  , I really can't completely put down the rebels. I killed more than 20,000 rebels back and forth, but the number of rebels is increasing."&lt;/psp; Zhang Huangyan smiled and helped: "Please get up quickly."&lt;/p&gt;

    Song Min took advantage of the opportunity to stand up, and then bowed his hands again: "Please, Governor, send troops quickly to occupy the castle on Mindoro Island, and don't let the Spaniards come back again. This time, the Han people and indigenous people on the island joined hands to conquer the Spanish castle.  People drove them away, and the Han people alone sacrificed hundreds of people, and the indigenous brothers died more than a thousand."&lt;/p&gt;

    Mindoro Island, known as Mayi Kingdom since the Song Dynasty, is an important trading place for Han Chinese maritime merchants.  Yellow wax, pearls, betel nuts, tortoiseshell, calico, etc. are the special products here, which are used to exchange for Chinese porcelain, ironware and cotton cloth.  &lt;/p&gt;

    The record in "Daoyi Zhilue" in the Yuan Dynasty is: "(Mayi Country) the mountains are flat and wide, Jiaxi is settled, the fields are plump, and the climate is slightly warmer. The vulgar is still righteous Barbarians negotiate prices and lead them to pass on Bo Yitu  The goods, and then the merchants will be at the right price, keep their promises as before, and live up to their promises."&lt;/p&gt;

    That is to say, the mountains of Mindoro Island are gentle, and most of them gather as villages in river valleys.  The climate is relatively warm and the land is very fertile.  The aborigines here advocate integrity and have a tradition of burial.  The native businessman kept his promise, negotiated the price, and never changed his mind.  &lt;/p&gt;

    Zhang Huangyan asked: "Are the residents of the island willing to submit to His Majesty?" &lt;/p&gt;

    Song Min replied: "Yes. The residents on the island, regardless of the local Han, all hate Spain and admire China. I heard that the imperial court treated the Luzon natives well, and all the natives on the island yearn for it."&lt;/p&gt;

    Zhang Huangyan asked again: "How many Han people are there on the island?"&lt;/p&gt;

    Song Min replied: "There are about two or three thousand Han people (mostly of mixed blood)."&lt;/p&gt;

    Zhang Huangyan thought for a while and said, "In that case, I will make my own decision and change Namindo Luo Island to Mayi County, and your Excellency will temporarily be a false (acting) magistrate. After reporting to the imperial court, you will be transferred to the county magistrate. The county should respond  The officials will be arranged by Your Excellency. In addition, I will recruit three hundred soldiers in Luzon to guard the castle there."&lt;/p&gt;

    "Thank you, Governor!" Song Min was overjoyed.  &lt;/p&gt;

    Contributing soil is meritorious, and a county magistrate will definitely give it.  In order to rule the island stably, the officials arranged by the magistrate will also honor it.  &lt;/p&gt;

    However, it is held every three years.  &lt;/p&gt;

    ?For at most two terms, the imperial court will send officials to replace them, and gradually bring them under the actual control of the central government.  &lt;/p&gt;

    Datong China's expansion in Nanyang is really smooth.  As long as there is force as a backing, a bunch of vassal states will vote one after another.  Now even more islanders are revolting, donating soil directly and incorporating it into China.  &lt;/p&gt;

    In fact, those Nanyang aborigines were oppressed too hard by the European colonists, and they thought of turning to China every chance they had, and they would not be bullied by taking shelter in China.  &lt;/p&gt;

    ? When the day comes when all the European colonists are driven away, the situation will definitely change slowly, turning into a conflict between the Han Chinese and the indigenous people.  At that time, it will be the indigenous uprising, clamoring to rebel against China.  &lt;/p&gt

 Text 834【Breakthrough in Spinning Technology】

    Regardless of whether it was Liu Hanyi who captured Batavia, or Zhang Huangyan who changed Mindoro Island to Mayi County, Zhao Han has not received any news about these things yet.

    The first thing Zhao Han received was the memorial from Xu Ying from Jiangsu.

    Xu Ying said in the memorial that the leader of the Jiangnan Textile Guild was entrusted by the textile merchants and asked him to forward a joint letter from the textile industry.  Due to a major breakthrough in the steam spinning machine, cotton raw materials are seriously in short supply, so they request to open up the Indian market and obtain Indian cotton as spinning raw materials.

    If the imperial court is willing to send troops, textile merchants from all over the south of the Yangtze River and shipping merchants in Guangdong are willing to jointly raise 30,000 taels of silver and donate it to the imperial court for military funds free of charge.

    In addition, they are also willing to subscribe for low-interest military bonds, which will be deducted slowly from taxes in the future.

    Zhao Han was not surprised by any donations or bond purchases.  This operation has been done by the imperial court before, especially when it attacked Luzon, military expenses and food and grass were all raised in this way. It is normal for merchants to taste the sweetness and want to do it again.

    What Zhao Han really paid attention to was the major breakthrough in the spinning machine!

    Xu Ying's memorial attached a drawing, which is a small device with a very simple principle-the flyer.

    A high school graduate named Li Min, due to his poor family, did not enter university at his own expense, nor did he choose to be an official in the county. Instead, he was hired by a textile factory as a senior employee.  It took four years for Li Min to invent the flyer, which has been put into production after repeated improvements.

    To weave cotton cloth, it must first be spun into cotton yarn.

    Whether it is a hydraulic spinning machine or a steam spinning machine, there is a serious problem.  That is, the strength of cotton fiber is not enough, and it is easy to be broken when twisted.  There have been many related inventions before, and even a roller device appeared, but the sliver still frequently breaks during the spinning process, and someone must guard the artificially assisted twisting.

    And this high school graduate named Li Min invented the "flyer" device, which can be perfectly matched with the "roller" device, and can complete the two steps of twisting and winding at the same time.

    Spinning efficiency doubled!

    Moreover, both the water conservancy spinning machine and the steam spinning machine can add this device for production.

    After Zhao Han saw the drawings and instructions, his first reaction was: family-style spinning activities will gradually become history, and peasant women will lose a major source of income.

    This process of extinction may last for a decade or two.  As steam spinning machines continue to improve, and as steam spinning machines become more common, hand spinning must become a thing of the past.

    At present, there is still room for it. The most exquisite cotton cloth can only be made by manual spinning.  The cotton yarn spun by the steam engine can only be used to weave middle and low-end cotton cloth due to insufficient technology. Historically, the cotton yarn worsted machine was invented a few years later than Watt's first improved steam engine.

    That high school graduate named Li Min opened Pandora's Box and opened a new era at the same time.

    Xu Ying also said in the memorandum that due to the "flyer" device being put into use, the demand for cotton surged rapidly.  As early as the beginning of this year, the textile merchants in the south of the Yangtze River traveled from village to village to sign contracts with farmers, crazily raising the purchase price of cotton, and luring farmers to change their grain fields into cotton fields.

    As long as farmers grow cotton, they don't have to worry about selling it at all, and they can sell it at a high price.  The increased profits can completely offset the heavy tax imposed by the imperial court on cotton fields.

    A bumper harvest of grain may also hurt farmers due to low grain prices.

    However, for cotton planting, the contract is signed in advance, and the price has been set long ago. The bigger the harvest, the more profitable it will be.

    Farmers are not stupid, of course they can grow whatever makes money!

    There are currently two problems facing the textile industry. One is insufficient cotton raw materials, and the other is that weaving technology cannot keep up with the development of spinning technology. More advanced looms are urgently needed.

    This year's cotton yarn producers are very likely to lose money.

    They added advanced devices one after another, and blindly expanded production regardless of the market.  They signed contracts with farmers in advance and blindly increased the purchase price of cotton.

    But today's weaving technology can't digest so much cotton yarn at all, and it will be 100% unsalable at that time, so we can only choose to export excess cotton yarn overseas directly.  However, the overseas cotton cloth market is huge, but the cotton yarn market is small. If it cannot be sold, the price will have to be reduced.

    Maybe, they will sell cotton yarn to farmers at a low price. Farmers can buy cheap cotton yarn and be able to weave and wear it by themselves.

    In addition, Mexican cotton yarn producers will be the biggest victims.

    The Spanish colonists built textile and silk factories in Mexico, and purchased cotton yarn and raw silk from China every year.  In order to protect the interests of cotton yarn and raw silk producers, the King of Spain ordered many times to prohibit the purchase of raw materials from China.  However, despite repeated prohibitions, the Mexican market has been impacted by China, and few people have produced silk.??.

    Now, China is exporting a large amount of cheap cotton yarn, and Mexico's spinning industry may be wiped out, and it will be completely dependent on Chinese supplies in the future.

    And with the crazy price reduction of cotton yarn, the manufacturing cost of cotton cloth in China will also plummet.  The cotton textile industry is India's largest industry, and a large amount of cheaper cotton cloth is shipped over. The cotton textile merchants in the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges are estimated to be in danger.

    Regarding Xu Ying's memorandum, the cabinet has different opinions.

    Calling the cabinet ministers to discuss, Song Yingxing took the lead and said: "It is a good thing to have a new machine, but this new machine will leave women with no yarn to spin. Nowadays, there are a large number of women spinning yarn no matter in the city or in the countryside.  In exchange for money. Once the flyer is widely used in factories, the income of Shengdou Xiaomin's family will definitely drop sharply. I really don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing."

    Chen Maosheng said: "I don't know how to look at this matter. The spinning machine has been improved several times, which is far better than women's hand spinning. This time, the new machine has doubled the efficiency, which has made countless weavers  How does the woman respond?"

    Zhu Shunshui said: "Suppression cannot be suppressed. With better machines, it is impossible to stop merchants from using them."

    ? Other cabinet ministers spoke, all discussing new machines, and did not talk about sending troops to India at all.

    From their point of view, soldiers are a matter of great importance to the country, and the imperial court is very cautious in using soldiers. How can they be instigated by a few merchants to fight across the sea?

    Zhao Han said: "Everything should not be abandoned because of choking. Since there are better machines, let the merchants use them. As for the women who can no longer make money by spinning, they can only find other livelihoods. The women in the city,  You can work as domestic servants, and women in the countryside can raise a few more chickens. When there are more factories, more women can also work as weavers in factories.”

    I can only think so, otherwise what else can I do?

    The only good thing is that the collapse of the small-scale peasant economy is a long-term process, and it will not end immediately because of the development of the cotton textile industry (in modern China, the small-scale peasant economy collapsed rapidly, which was impacted by mature Western industries).  Moreover, farmers generally divide their fields, so they can make do with less income from spinning.  As the city became more prosperous, women in the city could not spin yarn and could do other jobs.

    Chen Maosheng said suddenly: "Your Majesty, instead of thinking about further issues, it is better to deal with the immediate issues first. Last year, Jiangsu Tianzheng was cleaned up, and two major cases occurred in Wu County, both of which were caused by coal mines.  Salt and iron are average, and the imperial court has designated them as monopolies, and must impose a heavy tax on coal.”

    "It must be so." Zhao Han nodded.

    ?China's textile industry is concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River, and the textile industry in the south of the Yangtze River is concentrated in the area around Taihu Lake.

    Coincidentally, a large number of coal mines were discovered on Xishan Island in the center of Taihu Lake.  Coal mines have also been discovered one after another in some places on the edge of Taihu Lake.  The coal produced in these places can be quickly transported to textile factories in various places in the south of the Yangtze River through convenient waterways.

    Even in Jiangyin (Zhangjiagang), coal mines have been discovered, and the mine site is not far from the Yangtze River.

    Fei Chun said: "I heard that people in Beijing in the previous dynasty relied on coal for heating and cooking. If heavy taxes were imposed on coal, people in some places might not even be able to afford coal for cooking."

    Yuan Yunlong said: "Beijing is a special case. At that time, Beijing had a population of over one million, and the surrounding trees were all cut down. We had to go to Xishan to dig coal and transport it to the city to replace firewood. Today, there are not many people left in the entire Beiping Prefecture.  The trees have already grown, and even the people in Beijing are buying firewood cut by woodcutters."

    Fei Chun shook his head: "Not only in Beijing, but all over the country, many people cook with coal fires, and they also rely on coal fires to keep warm in winter."

    This is the truth. In the "New Coal Mine" in the Jiajing period, there is "there are few vegetation, so coal is used for fire in the north".

    The major iron factories in the north almost all use coal mines to smelt iron. As a result, the firecrackers manufactured by the northern ironworks often have a large number of air holes, and the barrels of the firecrackers explode when they are hit.

    In the south, under the guidance of some practical officials, many urban residents also use coal.

    The main content of "Newly Opened Coal Mine" is to record that in Mahu Prefecture (Pingshan) in Sichuan, the prefect Wansu led the people to explore the coal mines and taught the people how to use coal stoves. The residents in the city switched to coal for fire.

    This is a major issue related to people's livelihood, and heavy coal taxes cannot be imposed across the board.

    After thinking carefully, Zhao Han said: "Jiangsu, Shandong, Anhui, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, these five provinces impose heavy taxes on coal, and the rest of the provinces remain the same."

    Due to the backward transportation technology, it is difficult to transport coal from the north to the south, and even if it is transported, the loss outweighs the gain.

    Shandong is the most important cotton-producing province, and the cotton in Shandong is of the highest quality.

    In recent years, the cotton textile industry in Shandong has also developed, especially after the steam engine appeared.  Not only did Shandong's cotton spinning industry develop rapidly, but Xuzhou also prospered.  Because there are large coal mines in Xuzhou, and it is close to Shandong, after buying cotton from Shandong and transporting it to Xuzhou, the local coal can be used to drive the machines.

    By the way, Datong China's silver dollar casting was changed from water power to steam power several years ago.

    The monarchs and ministers discussed repeatedly, but they never talked about sending troops to India.

    Even if you really want to send troops, let it wait for a year or so before talking, and you can't be arrogant to the temper of those merchants!The cotton textile industry was also developing, especially after the steam engine appeared.

 Text 835 [Li Zicheng's surrender]

    Shaanxi, Yulin.

    Yang Zhenqing, who was dismissed for violating military discipline, worked as a teacher at the Nanjing Military Academy for two years, and was finally sent to the front again to lead the army.

    There were 3,000 hybrid long-haired sheep who went to Shaanxi with Yang Zhenqing.

    The long-haired sheep brought from Europe have been bred in Liaoning after years of crossbreeding.  Now, take 3,000 sheep to Hetao, and gradually replace the short-haired sheep there.

    As long as the long-wool sheep are successfully promoted in Hetao, Mongolian herders in Hetao will establish a solid economic relationship with Shanshan.  There are so many coal mines in the Shanshan area, and they are next to wool producing areas. With long-wool sheep, the wool textile industry will be more prosperous.  The income of herdsmen will also increase, and if they have money to buy goods south of the Great Wall, they will not easily go south to plunder unless they are really starving to death.

    Fei Ruhe had been waiting for a long time. As soon as Yang Zhenqing arrived with 3,000 sheep breeds, he immediately led a large force to Hetao.

    Passing by the residence of the Ordos Ministry on the way, the leader Da Zhamusu greeted him warmly, leading the crowd to kneel down and said: "The vassal Zamusu, kowtow to the governor of the Celestial Dynasty!"

    "Huh?" Fei Ruhe raised his eyebrows.

    Da Zha Musu was stunned, his son knelt behind him and muttered, the guy finally came to his senses, and said again: "The vassal Zhao Jinzhong, I'm here to greet the Great Governor of the Heavenly Dynasty!"

    Fei Ruhe immediately showed a smile, and supported this person with his own hands: "General, please get up quickly."

    Dazamusu's brow was sweating, and he smiled apologetically throughout the rest.

    This guy has been ravaged repeatedly by Li Zicheng, and he has been completely subdued, and he doesn't dare to have another heart.

    Historically, Shunzhi implemented the alliance flag system in the Hetao area, and only Da Zha Musu jumped out to rebel.  After jumping back, I found out that my brother Xiao Zhamusu and other relatives and tribal leaders all chose to hide in the sidelines to watch the fun.  As soon as the Qing army was about to launch a conquest, Da Zha Musu surrendered in a hurry. How could he fight against a tribe?  It is also because of this that the tribe of Dazhamusu became the only outer Mongolia in Hetao, and was not seen by the Manchu court from the beginning to the end.

    "Lead the sheep!" Fei Ruhe ordered.

    Three males and three females, six sheep, were led to Dazamusu.

    Da Zhamusu stared at the sheep with bright eyes, and said in admiration: "Which breed of sheep is this? The wool grows really long."

    Fei Ruhe said: "Buy it from the west thousands of miles across the sea. Your Majesty's great kindness is great. The Mongolian tribes on the Hetao side, each tribe rewarded six for breeding. From now on, wool can be sold to Shaanxi, and the price will definitely be higher than short wool.  "

    Da Zha Musu knelt down again: "Minister Zhao Jinzhong, thank you His Majesty the Emperor for the reward, and thank the governor for sending the sheep."

    The Tumed and Ordos tribes in the Hetao area were defeated by the Ming frontier army during the Longqing period.

    Why did I Da Khan accept the tribute from the Ming Dynasty?

    Because he was bullied too badly by the frontier army!

    ? At that time, the biggest resistance to Ida's tribute came from the Shaanxi frontier army.  The Mongols in Hetao requested a truce and accepted the canonization of the imperial court, but the Shaanxi frontier army has been obstructing it.

    Even when the imperial court sent envoys to Hetao to negotiate, the Shaanxi frontier army went out to make trouble, trying to create conflicts and disturb the good things of the Huang court.

    ?The governor of the three sides, Wang Zhigao, issued an edict to the court, clearly pointing out the reason: the mutual market is not allowed now, even if it is allowed to pay tribute, it will be difficult to go back to digging nests and driving horses.

    The translation is that Mongolia requests an armistice and mutual market, so don't agree.  Once agreed, the frontier army's operations of smashing nests and driving horses will not be able to continue, and the officers and soldiers of the Shaanxi frontier army will feel very disappointed, and I will no longer be able to lead the resentful frontier army.

    After smashing the nest, the frontier army broke out of the Great Wall and went straight to the Mongolian tribe's garrison.

    Driving the horses, the frontier troops broke out of the Great Wall and robbed the pastures of the Mongolian tribes.

    At that time, the Shaanxi frontier army had their salaries deducted layer by layer, and very little was in their hands. The frontier generals and servants were counting on robbing the Mongols to make extra money.

    During the truce negotiations, the Ordos Department was attacked and killed by the Ming border army. The leader Ji Neng not only did not dare to resent the Ming border army, but also took the initiative and patiently explained the cause of the conflict to Governor Xuanda.  Moreover, Ji Neng ordered the leaders of the various ministries to be restrained, and they were not allowed to send troops to seek revenge from the Daming Frontier Army, for fear of disrupting the truce negotiations.

    ? In the end, I Da succeeded in paying the tribute, and there was no war between Hetao and Shaanxi on the border for decades.

    The Ming court can save countless military expenditures every year, but the Shaanxi frontier army is declining day by day.  One is that the military pay is getting less and less, the second is that the Mongols cannot be robbed to earn extra money, and the third is that the Mongols can no longer be used for actual combat training.

    It's a pity, from the late period of Jiajing to the early years of Longqing, Daming can be said to be as fierce as a cloud.

    Although the decadent military household system has not been abolished, in order to cope with the war, the recruitment system has become more and more popular.It was a raid mission, but one after another broke through the gates of Zhaojiangguan, and finally succeeded in surprise attacking the capital of the Tartars, and blocked the retreat of the main force of the Tartars.

    Arriving at Yunzhong City, the Han people here lined the road to watch Fei Ruhe.

    The younger brother of Emperor Zhao, the younger brother of the empress, and the governor with a heavy army in his hands, Fei Ruhe has much more weight in the hearts of the common people than Yang Zhenqing.

    That night, a big banquet was held.

    While pushing cups and changing glasses, Fei Ruhe said drunkenly: "Brothers, we are all leaders of the army, and we don't engage in those vain schemes. Your Majesty said that you can each bring ten carts of goods and go back home."  Go to their respective hometowns to settle down and divide the fields. Those who don’t want to go back to their hometowns can also go to the city to do business, as long as they are not in Hetao, they can go anywhere. If you want to lead troops to fight, that’s fine, first go to the military academy in Nanjing.  If you don’t want to go to the military academy, you can recommend a son to go to school, and after graduation from the military academy, you can be assigned to the army as an officer. How about it? Although I didn’t make a wish for you to be appointed as an official, the imperial court treats you well, right?”

    Li Zicheng asked: "If you go back to your hometown, what should you do if you are persecuted by corrupt officials?"

    "Your Majesty decides for you!"

    Fei Ruhe smiled and said: "You are very close to Shaanxi, you must have heard of the tactics of the Datong New Dynasty, and they are merciless against corrupt officials. When you raised righteousness in Shaanxi, Your Majesty and I raised troops in Jiangxi, isn't it all because of  Corrupt officials? You and I are actually ordinary people, brothers of our own family. Come, come, brothers, let’s drink this cup to the brim!"

    "Refreshing!"

    "Master Fei, I respect you with this cup!"

    "Done, done!"

    ""

    The atmosphere quickly warmed up, and Li Zicheng's subordinates happily toasted and drank.

    Each person can bring ten carts of goods back to his hometown, which is enough to be a rich man for the rest of his life.  He can also recommend a son to go to the military academy, and he will become an officer after finishing the military academy, and the future development of the family will also be assured.  It seems that they are not as good as they are domineering in Hetao, but Hetao can't defend against the Datong Army, and Li Zicheng's troops have long since lost their hearts.

    Everyone recommended their sons one after another, saying that their sons were excellent in martial arts.

    Only a few young people, such as Zhang Nai, who are only about 30 years old, are willing to go to Nanjing to study in the military academy in person, intending to continue to seek development in the new dynasty of Datong.  The rest of the old bandits and generals don't want to bother anymore, wouldn't it be good to return home and enjoy the blessings?

    Li Zicheng suddenly said: "My brother is going back to his hometown, and I'm going to Nanjing to have a look. Zhao of Nanjing His Majesty the Emperor, I really admire him very much. If I don't see it with my own eyes, I won't be able to sleep well in this life."

    Fei Ruhe smiled and said: "King Chuang asks for an audience, His Majesty will sweep the couch to welcome you. By the way, since Zhang Xianzhong is a landlord in Taiwan, King Chuang can also go to Taiwan to catch up on old times."

    "Thief Zhang? It's fine if he doesn't see you." Li Zicheng said disdainfully.

    When Liu Hanyi was still besieging Batavia, Li Zicheng took a group of students who were going to the military academy and went all the way south to Nanjing to meet Emperor Zhao.

 Text 836 [Taoyuan everywhere]

    The convoy, loaded with goods, soon came to Yulin.

    Some old thieves knelt on the ground to bid farewell to Li Zicheng, parted ways and turned to their hometown.

    But they all chose a son and followed Li Zicheng to Nanjing.  Going to Nanjing to study in a military academy will have a better future in the future, and it is also similar to sending hostages to Nanjing.

    Li Zicheng observed the scenery along the way and said, "Compared to before, there are still too few people here."

    The envoy Zhang Yunyi wanted to roll his eyes when he heard that, the Yulin area is sparsely populated, who the hell caused it?  You have the nerve to say this!

    Zhang Yunyi pouted and said: "The imperial court has resettled and reclaimed many people. Counting the soldiers and their families, there are more than 80,000 people in Yulin."

    "It's a pity that a lot of land is left uncultivated." Li Zicheng said.

    Yulin is next to the Mu Us Desert. In the northern part of Yansui alone, 3.45 million mu of land was reclaimed in the Ming Dynasty, of which more than 1 million mu of military land was cultivated.  To be honest, it has caused some damage to the ecological balance.

    Now that the population has dropped sharply, many fertile fields reclaimed in the Ming Dynasty have turned into grasslands again.

    There is simply no way to grow them. If all of them are used to divide the fields, including urban residents, each person can be divided into an average of 60 to 70 mu.  The extra land can only be left unused. Some farmers also raise horses and sheep. Anyway, there are barren fields full of weeds.

    Li Zicheng asked: "The new dynasty is the same as the old Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers and their families are also classified as military households?"

    Zhang Yunyi explained: "There were no military households in the new dynasty, and all of them were civilian households. The reason why the family members immigrated here was just to solve the homesickness of the soldiers. The army of the Datong New Dynasty first trained farmers and soldiers in the countryside. Only  Only the best peasants and soldiers can join the army and become the Datong Army. If the Datong Army is over 35 years old, if they have not been promoted to non-commissioned officers, they will be forced to leave the army and recruit farmers and soldiers."

    Li Zicheng also sent someone to inquire about this kind of thing, but he still refused to believe it.

    Li Zicheng asked: "Soldiers over the age of 35 must be discharged from the army. How much is the annual severance pay?"

    "It's not a lot. They have been discharged one after another, and more than half of them are not discharged at once. It is only tens of thousands of taels of dismissal money every year." Zhang Yunyi laughed.

    Li Zicheng was speechless and didn't want to speak any more for a moment.

    ? First organize the training of farmers and soldiers, select the best farmers and soldiers to join the army, and those over 35 years old will be forced to leave the army.  It is entirely conceivable that the quality of the soldiers of the Datong Army is so high that it is simply not something that the traditional army can compete with.

    Zhang Yunyi continued: "There are too many peasants and soldiers in the whole country. Your Majesty is sympathetic to the hard work of the peasants, and has reduced them several times. Now, there are still about 1 million peasants and soldiers, and at most there were 3 million peasants and soldiers."

    Li Zicheng had seen farmers and soldiers in Hebei, and his fighting power was not comparable to his old battalion, but he was stronger than ordinary Dashun soldiers.

    What is the concept of 3 million peasants and soldiers?

    Just thinking about it makes my scalp tingle.

    Even if there are only 1 million farmers and soldiers left, if a major war breaks out, hundreds of thousands of troops can be drawn at any time.  They all go through long-term training, and they can become an army with simple training. Who in the world can stop them.

    Night is coming soon, and everyone is resting in a village by the river.

    This is the river valley from Yulin to Mizhi, and the village is not very big, only a few dozen households.

    The village chief invited them to eat, but Zhang Yunyi shook his head and refused, and only let the entourage enter the village to buy some meat, eggs and vegetables.

    Soon, the village head brought the villagers over with a basket of eggs, some chickens, ducks, and a lot of vegetables.  Zhang Yunyi paid with official tickets, and the villagers were overjoyed because the price was relatively high.

    "What is this?" Li Zicheng asked, pointing to the official ticket.

    Zhang Yunyi explained: "The folks are commonly known as tickets, and there are two types: official tickets and military tickets. Officials receive official tickets as salary, and soldiers lead military tickets as military pay. These Shaanxi tickets can be exchanged for money and food in banks in Fujian.  "

    Li Zicheng was very puzzled: "This is printed on paper, officials and soldiers willing to accept it?"

    Zhang Yunyi laughed loudly: "Even the common people are willing to accept it. Although it is printed on paper, it can be equivalent to real gold and silver in the bank."

    Li Zicheng asked: "Isn't there a strong man who counterfeit banknotes?"

    "Yes," Zhang Yunyi said, "because of the counterfeit banknotes, hundreds of people were killed back and forth. And even if they were counterfeit, they could only fool fools and foolish women. From paper to ink to official seals and dark patterns, every kind of banknote has  Nine layers of anti-counterfeiting means."

    Li Zicheng said: "Isn't it just like the Daming banknotes? In the future, more and more will be printed, and no one will accept it."

    Zhang Yunyi explained: "It's not the same. Daming treasure banknotes, just print them and don't accept them, and they are useless if they are worn out. The banknotes of my Datong court are too old, and all banks will hand them in. After they are destroyed, they will be reprinted.??Ah, if you put your heart and soul into taking the Jinshi examination, maybe you will be in charge of the government long ago, and the house will be full of children and grandchildren.

    The next day, continue southbound.

    There are several such villages along the way, which can be described as "Taoyuan" everywhere.  When he arrived in Mizhi, Li Zicheng finally broke the defense. This is his hometown, and the villagers are also happy and prosperous.

    He returned to his birthplace, where there were no old friends.

    Finally found one, but the other party regarded him like a snake and scorpion, and ran straight to the head of the peasants and soldiers in the village: "Quickly gather troops, the intruder is back, don't let him harm the village!"

    Facing the dozens of peasants and soldiers, Li Zicheng looked at the old neighbor again, hesitated to speak, turned and left.

    He found Zhang Yunyi: "Go to Nanjing, tell the emperor, let me settle down in the south."

    This King Chuang has no face to return to his hometown. In the eyes of his hometown people, he is a complete disaster.  At least, the people who lived a good life in the new dynasty of Datong completely regarded Li Zicheng as a scourge.

    Once upon a time, he was a hero who led the villagers to resist tyranny.

 Text 837【Cotton and Rice Rotation】

    ? Across the Yellow River to Luoyang, an important trade hub in the north.

    Most of the goods shipped from Hetao, Qinghai, and the Western Regions have to go through Tongguan to Luoyang, and then trafficked further south.

    The population of Luoyang increased rapidly, and the commerce was extremely developed. What appeared in front of Li Zicheng was a huge city of incomparable prosperity.  Although it is definitely not as good as the early years of Chongzhen, it is only a matter of time before the last years of Chongzhen can be thrown out of the eight streets, and the Ming Dynasty can be restored and surpassed.

    All the way eastward to Kaifeng, here is more prosperous.

    Because Kaifeng not only has business travelers from Luoyang, but also some business travelers from Shanxi.  Li Zicheng, who had been squatting in Hetao for several years, was almost not dazzled when he first came to Kaifeng.

    "It's such a good life." Li Zicheng couldn't wait to go to Nanjing. He heard Zhang Yunyi say that Nanjing is a hundred times richer than Kaifeng.

    Zhang Yunyi said triumphantly: "Don't just look at the city, the countryside is really prosperous. Since the founding of the Datong New Dynasty, I have dredged and excavated more than 10,000 canals in Henan. In the northwest of Henan, as well as Shanxi and Shaanxi,  Not only repairing canals, but also digging irrigation wells. Even if there is another severe drought, they will not be as helpless as before."

    The method of well irrigation began in the Ming Dynasty and was mainly popular in several northern provinces.

    In view of the severe drought during the Little Ice Age, well irrigation became more popular in the Qing Dynasty.  In Shaanxi province alone, there were 130,000 wells dedicated to irrigation until the Qianlong period.  Later, Zuo Zongtang, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, encountered a severe drought. Zuo Zongtang encouraged the digging of wells and dug tens of thousands of irrigation wells in one go.

    As for the Datong court, since the last severe drought in Shanxi and Shaanxi, officials from the two provinces have been digging wells crazily.

    The mayor of the town and the head of the village took the lead in organizing, and farmers helped each other digging. More than 80,000 irrigation wells were newly dug in Shaanxi, more than 60,000 new irrigation wells were dug in Shanxi, and more than 10,000 new irrigation wells were dug in the northwest of Henan.  Even if there is another severe drought in the future, they will not be as desperate as before, and the ability to resist natural disasters will be greatly improved.

    Li Zicheng came to the countryside of Henan, which was indeed richer than the countryside of Shaanxi.

    All the silted irrigation canals in his impression have been dredged, and many new ones have been dug.  Farmers who have just had a bumper harvest happily go to the government to pay taxes, and livestock can be seen in groups from time to time in the countryside.  When he ravaged Henan, he robbed all the livestock. How could he see such a scene?

    Like Shaanxi, the people in Henan speak the accents of the southern provinces, and many of them immigrated in the past ten years.

    After watching and watching, Li Zicheng didn't want to watch it anymore, feeling that it was meaningless to toss half his life.

    However, Niu Jinxing bought the latest edition of "The Collection of Datong". According to the content in the book, and comparing it with what he saw in the countryside, he suddenly had a deeper understanding of "The Collection of Datong".

    After tossing and turning by boat, passing by Xuzhou.

    Li Zicheng pointed to the black smoke rising from the suburbs: "What is that burning?"

    Zhang Yunyi said: "Steam factories are more common in the south, but rare in the north. Xuzhou produces coal, and it is adjacent to Shandong cotton production areas. There are more and more steam factories. By the way, His Majesty has ordered that the chimneys of the factories must be built at least five feet long."  (more than 16 meters) high, so as not to damage the people with black smoke. Which factory dared to disobey, immediately demolished the chimney and stopped working.”

    "Can you go and have a look?" Li Zicheng asked.

    "Of course." Zhang Yunyi smiled.

    ? When visiting the factory, Li Zicheng found that there are many female workers, while the boiler workers and porters are all men.

    ?The twisted cotton sliver was driven by the machine, twisted and wound in one go, and turned into cotton yarn in minutes. Li Zicheng, Niu Jinxing and others were dumbfounded.

    "Uncanny workmanship, uncanny workmanship!" Niu Jinxing repeatedly exclaimed.

    Zhang Yunyi smiled and said: "This kind of steam engine has many functions. In the past, the imperial court had to use water conservancy to roll the silver coins. The silver coins produced were often bent and deformed, and the workers had to hammer them flat.  It has been doubled, and it is stamped and minted, so there will be no more bent silver dollars."

    Return to the boat and continue south.

    Li Zicheng found Niu Jinxing, and said without hesitation: "The Emperor Zhao in Nanjing is really a reincarnation of a god? This kind of machine can also be made. Cotton yarn can be spun so fast, how can people in the world worry about having no clothes?"

    "Yeah, it's really the reincarnation of a god." Niu Jinxing was also shocked.

    Both of them can only see the benefits of the steam engine, but cannot consider the damage to the small peasant economy.

    When the two passed by Yangzhou, a city second only to Nanjing, they had become a little numb, and after entering the city, they stared blankly at everything in front of them.

    More than 20 Mongolian youths, not far from them, were also looking at the Yangzhou market in a trance.  These are the eldest sons of the Mongolian leader, who are going to Nanjing to study at university, and they are also hostages.

    For the next journey, Li Zicheng and Niu?In this way, it can not only ensure the red line of grain production in cotton-producing areas, but also scientifically increase cotton output, and achieve a double harvest of cotton and rice.

    In addition, the heavy tax on cotton fields can also be slightly reduced, so as not to interfere with the rotation of cotton and rice.

    Everything must be based on science, not just the development of industry, but also the development of agriculture.

    Zhao Han continued to say to Xu Jin: "Please polish this report. I will let the Ministry of Rites print it into a volume, and print thousands of copies. The Ministry of Officials will send people to distribute it. Officials at all levels in the cotton-producing areas must be familiar with it.  read."

    "Follow the order!"

    Xu Jin was overjoyed. After ten years of hard work, he finally produced results.  Not only can he be promoted, but he can also benefit thousands of people.

    Zhao Han asked Chen Xisong again: "You have studied agriculture for more than ten years, and you have been unable to be promoted in the Department of Advising Agriculture. It is time to be promoted to be a political officer. You will be promoted to the right servant of the household department, and you will report to the official department after you return.  Bar."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Chen Xisong also became happy.

    The two bowed and retreated, Zhao Han said: "Let Li Zicheng come in, I also want to see what he looks like."

 Text 838 [The Eye-opening Chuang Wang]

    "Meet His Majesty the Emperor!"

    Li Zicheng stood with his head held high and his chest held high. When he cupped his hands, he looked directly at Zhao Han. Unfortunately, he was too far away to see clearly.

    However, Niu Jinxing knelt down immediately, prostrating and worshiping: "Caomin Niu Jinxing, long live my emperor!"

    "No courtesy." Zhao Han said.

    Niu Jinxing slowly got up, but seeing that Li Zicheng was still looking directly at the emperor, his heart beat suddenly, for fear that he would be implicated by this rude act.

    But Zhao Han said: "Come closer, and give me a seat."

    Li Zicheng strode forward, Niu Jinxing walked quickly, and sat down a foot away from the emperor.

    The palace guards on both sides put their hands on the handle of the hammer one after another, and if there was an accident, they would rush forward and beat Li Zicheng to death.

    As they got closer, Li Zicheng finally saw Zhao Han's face clearly, and he was inevitably a little disappointed in his heart.  This Emperor Zhao was a little different from what he had imagined, more like a scholar full of knowledge, not like the founding monarch who recklessly raised his troops to conquer the world.

    He was born quite good-looking, just like a little boy.

    The beard is not very imposing, there is only a small slender mustache between the lips and nose, and the beard on the chin is only four or five inches.

    However, there is one thing that Li Zicheng quite admires, that is, Emperor Zhao's generosity.  He was not forced to kneel, nor was he angry because of his rude behavior, otherwise it would be really embarrassing for him to kneel.

    Zhao Han was also looking at Li Zicheng. This person had dark and rough skin, sunken eye sockets, high cheekbones, forward nostrils, and a big beard under his jaw.  The most noticeable thing is Li Zicheng's eyes, bright and sharp, looking directly at the emperor at this moment, vividly interpreting what is called "the eagle looks at the wolf".

    Zhao Han couldn't help laughing and asked: "Why does King Chuang stare at me? It seems like there is a sworn enemy."

    Niu Jinxing quickly smoothed things over: "Your Majesty doesn't know, Mr. Li has always seen things like this, and he didn't mean to stare at His Majesty."

    Li Zicheng didn't want to offend the emperor, he knew how to accept it when he saw it, his eyes softened a little, and he cupped his hands and said, "The emperor please forgive me!"

    "It doesn't matter," Zhao Han assessed Li Zicheng's merits and demerits face to face, "Chuang Wang raised his army because the officials forced the people to rebel. You and I are both of the same kind. It's a pity that the killing was too much, and it was an act of injustice. I was lucky enough to win the world. And also  Recapturing Hetao is a great contribution to our Huaxia, and if the merits and demerits are equal, does King Chuang think it is possible?"

    "Listen to the emperor," Li Zicheng said, "Your Majesty don't want to call me King Chuang anymore. It's a thing of the past, and it's boring to mention it now."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "It's just a nickname, don't worry too much about it. King Chuang doesn't want to go back to his hometown and settle down?"

    Li Zicheng said: "As long as you don't go back to Mizhi, you can go anywhere."

    Zhao Han said: "Then let's settle in Hebei. Hebei is vast and sparsely populated, so it's easy to divide the property when you register."

    "Thank you, Emperor, for your understanding!" Li Zicheng said.

    Zhao Han looked at Niu Jinxing again: "What about you? I heard you want to be an official."

    Niu Jinxing quickly replied: "The grass people are guilty of crimes, and they dare not have extravagant hopes. They all depend on His Majesty's arrangement."  Go to the grass and become a bandit. The grassroots have read the "Datong Collection" repeatedly, and they know the good governance of the new dynasty. If they can really be an official, they must follow the "Datong Collection" and seek the well-being of the people."

    This guy really wants to be an official!

    But Zhao Han was shaking his head: "You are quite old, and you have been prime minister with King Chuang. If you are given a small official, you will not be convinced. If you are given a high official, the civil and military will not be convinced. Why don't you go to teach, just specialize in it?"  Ask a student from the teaching university, I think you must have something to say in your lecture."

    "Your Majesty is holy!"

    Niu Jinxing was so disappointed by this that he finally gave up his desire to be an official.  At the same time, he thought to himself that by luck, Zhao Han asked him to teach, and he probably won't bring up old troubles again in the future.

    Zhao Han looked at Li Zicheng again, but saw this guy staring at his desk.  All he could see was the globe on the table.

    "Wang Chuang likes this?" Zhao Han asked.

    Li Zicheng said: "I don't know what it is, but it's so eye-catching, I couldn't help but look at it a few more times."

    Zhao Han said to the accompanying maid: "Hold him over."

    Li Zicheng has been educated, but his literacy is not much, and he has not yet reached the level of a child.

    Holding the globe in his arms, he saw the big word "Nanjing" at a glance, and knew it was a weird map.  Go all the way up and find Yulin and Hetao, and go east to see Shanhaiguan and Liaoning.

    Looking down, it is North Korea and Japan.

    The sea is to the east of North Korea and Japan. If you continue to turn the globe, you will see America, which you have never heard of.  Europe, Africa, India and then China again.

    Li Zicheng's eyes widened, and his hometown dialect came out.p; If you count the dependent countries, it is really a huge territory!

    Not to mention a bunch of vassal states in Nanyang, even Japan, North Korea, Tibet, Qinghai, and Xinjiang are all vassals.

    On the way out of the Forbidden City, Li Zicheng said to Niu Jinxing: "Do you know there is America?"

    Niu Jinxing was at a loss: "Where is America?"

    Li Zicheng said: "Go straight across the sea and go east. It's a big piece of land."

    Niu Jinxing didn't know how to answer the conversation at all.

    Li Zicheng said with emotion: "We have been holding back in Hetao for several years, but we don't think the world has changed. The earth is a ball, and there are so many places overseas. There are coal-burning machines, and spinning is scary fast. Such a bizarre situation,  I can't read it anymore, it's like like"

    "It seems like a lifetime away." Niu Jinxing said.

    "Adversary, it's like reincarnation." Li Zicheng sighed more and more.

    Niu Jinxing also felt this way. From Hetao all the way to Nanjing, what he saw and heard was really like a world away, and it was not the Chinese land he knew well at all.

 Text 839【Microscope】

    When Li Zicheng was going to visit the Nanjing Night Market, Zhao Han came to the queen's bedroom.

    The maid took off her coat, Fei Rulan hung up the clothes herself, walked back and said, "My lord, the crown prince is short-sighted."

    "Huh?" Zhao Han thought he heard it wrong.

    Fei Rulan said: "Mr. Zhang from Zhan Shifu said that the prince likes to read books close by. Mr. Zhang felt bad, so he put the book far away for the prince to read. The prince said that the handwriting was very blurry."

    Zhao Han couldn't laugh or cry. When he thought of his son wearing glasses, he thought it was funny and unreal.

    Although, many civil servants also wear a pair of glasses on their chests when they are in court.

    Fei Rulan added: "Mr. Zhang suggests wearing glasses, but I'm afraid it will damage the prestige of the prince."

    "It won't hurt any prestige, you can wear glasses when you need them, and choose the best optician." Zhao Han said.

    Fei Rulan said: "Master Sun of Qintian Academy is a first-class mirror master in the world."

    "Then ask Master Sun to match the prince with glasses." Zhao Han didn't know what Master Sun did.

    Dr. Sun's name is Sun Yunqiu, from Wujiang County, Jiangsu Province, and he is only 25 years old this year.

    Being a master of Qintian Academy at a young age is definitely not due to his glasses grinding technology.  This old man graduated from Yangzhou University, did not take the imperial examination, and was directly admitted to Qintianyuan.

    Moreover, before being admitted to Qintian Academy, Sun Yunqiu had already invented the microscope!

    This is not the butterfly effect brought about by Zhao Han. In real history, Sun Yunqiu also invented the microscope.

    Glasses appeared in China in the Yuan Dynasty, but until the end of the Ming Dynasty, glasses were all precious items.  The main reason is that it is not easy to grind, and after grinding, it often does not match the degree.  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Western learning spread eastward, and simple knowledge of optics gradually spread to China, and finally a breakthrough was made in eyeglass manufacturing technology, which is why Qian Qianyi said that eyeglasses are a Western product.

    However, Sun Yunqiu, with his own power, directly made the glasses that the dignitaries could afford, at the price of cabbage - each pair of glasses only cost two or three cents of silver (one tael equals 100 cents).

    This gentleman learned from Chen Tianqu, a disciple of Matteo Ricci, and mastered some knowledge of mathematics and physics.  He also invented the tuo car for grinding lenses, and pointed out the difference between presbyopia, hyperopia and myopia, and equipped glasses according to the actual conditions of patients.  He even wrote the book "History of Mirrors", which disclosed all the methods of making glasses, which eventually caused the cost of making glasses to plummet.

    It's a pity that when the Qing army went south, Sun Yunqiu's livelihood was difficult and he had to make a living by collecting herbs. He died of illness at the age of only 34.

    By the way, Sun Yunqiu can also make chime clocks.

    Sun Yunqiu in this time and space will definitely not go to collect medicine again, and he doesn't even focus on grinding lenses.

    He invented the microscope and kept improving it. Now he conducts research every day and uses a microscope to observe various microorganisms.  The Qintian Academy even plans to set up a separate "microscopic hall" to allow researchers to explore the microscopic world.

    "Wenyu, His Majesty summoned you!" Fang Yizhi called in person.

    ?Sun Yunqiu, who just invented the microscope slide, was watching the cute water bears swimming, and raised his head in a daze when he heard the words: "What did His Majesty call me for?"

    Fang Yizhi said: "I don't know, you just entered the palace."

    "Wait a minute," Sun Yunqiu said, "The lenses I polished a few days ago can see microbes more clearly, and today I discovered a new kind of water worm. After I finish my observation and record, I will go to the palace to see Your Majesty.  "

    Fang Yizhi was very speechless about this, and actually stopped urging, turned around and asked the female officer to wait a moment.

    Sun Yunqiu continued to fiddle with the microscope, and then took a pen to start the portrait, drawing the whole picture of the tardigrade from different angles, and annotated beside it: water bug 21 (tentative name), green body, six-legged

    The female officer was already anxiously waiting, and Sun Yunqiu finally got up, went out and clasped his fists and said, "Please wait a long time."

    As soon as this guy left, the researcher next to him rushed to occupy the microscope.  The lens of this microscope is a newly polished ultra-high magnification, the only one in the entire Qintianyuan, and everyone is waiting in line to see it.

    Being brought into the palace in a daze, Sun Yunqiu didn't pay attention to the scenery along the way at all, and his mind was still on the things under the microscope just now.

    "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Prince, brought by Master Sun."

    Sun Yunqiu finally came to his senses, and hurried forward to meet him.

    Zhao Han did not talk about myopia, but asked: "I heard that you invented the microscope, how did you do it?"

    Sun Yunqiu replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, although my ancestral home is Wujiang County, my uncle has lived in Hangzhou with my uncle since he was a child because he was doing business in Hangzhou. Eighty percent of the glasses in the world are made by Hangzhou mirror craftsmen. I am very curious about glasses, so I stand all day long.  Watch them grind from the sidelines."

    "Later, I went to school to studyLooking at his son from the side, he suddenly said: "The spectacle frames should be replaced with better-looking ones. The tortoiseshell tribute from Nanyang Fanbang can be polished into spectacle frames by artisans."

    The mother and son were having fun, while Zhao Han was playing with the microscope.

    Whatever the emperor wanted, Qintianyuan would send it to him naturally, and they would just make a new one by themselves.

    Sun Yunqiu guided his hands and said: "Your Majesty, this is a slide (glass slide). The objects you want to observe must be placed on the slide first"

    After traveling through two lifetimes, Zhao Han was playing with a microscope for the first time, and he was inevitably a little excited.

    He soon saw the tardigrade, how naive, and excitedly shouted: "Queen, come and see!"

    Fei Rulan lay beside Zhao Han, took a closer look at her glasses, and immediately backed away in fright, exclaiming, "What an ugly monster!"

    Zhao Kuanghuan yelled, "I want to see it too!"

    The father and son obviously have the same style, and Zhao Kuanghuan also found the tardigrade interesting, lying there for a long time without moving his eyes.

    The invention of the microscope made Zhao Han feel very happy: "The autumn is crisp, and it's the perfect weather for hunting. Li Zicheng hasn't left Beijing yet, right? Invite him to go hunting. Also, Sun Qing will go too. You have made a contribution to inventing the microscope and accompany me to hunt."  Easy and easy.?

 Text 840 [Military Academy]

    "The prince is studying in a military academy?" Li Zicheng asked in surprise.

    Zhang Nai temporarily settled down in Nanjing, and changed back to the old name of Li Zicheng's "foster father": "Bo'er lost his student status at the military academy two days ago, received some textbooks, and went to the dormitory. In the dormitory, there were three other people besides Hai'er."  , two of us are from Dashun from Hetao, and one is an officer from Anhui. The boy asked his classmate from Anhui that the prince and the son of Dudu Zhang (Zhang Tieniu) are both studying in the military academy. There is another  The son of Dudu Huang (Huang Yao), has graduated from the military academy, and was sent to Liaoning to be a cavalry sentry commander."

    Li Zicheng said with emotion: "This Emperor Zhao wants to teach his son both civil and military skills."

    Prince Zhao Kuanghuan, after graduating from Huangcheng Middle School, was immediately thrown to Nanjing Military Academy to study.

    Zhao Han didn't expect his son to lead the army to fight, but he must understand the basic military knowledge, so as not to be blinded by the military in the future.

    Zhang Nai took out the basic military school textbooks: "Father, the military academy in the new dynasty is a four-year system, and there is also a special crash course. The child is in the crash course, and he can graduate after only two years of study."

    The students in the crash course are either generals or excellent soldiers sent by the army.

    Li Zicheng looked at the few textbooks. The titles of the books are: "Datong Army Ideology and System", "On War", "Infantry Exercise Code", "Artillery Exercise Code", "Cavalry Exercise Code", "Military Equipment Record", "Names of Past Dynasties"  The Story of Famous Generals", "Detailed Explanation of Battle Cases of Past Dynasties".

    Curiously opened "Datong Army Thought and System", the opening chapter briefly introduced Datong theory and explained the concept of Huaxia.  It clearly pointed out that the responsibility of the Datong Army is to serve the country and the people, protect the country and the people from internal and external enemies, and strive for more and better living space for the Chinese people.

    It was all theoretical stuff, Li Zicheng quickly flipped through it, and soon turned to the military system part.

    The military system is clearly defined at the beginning. The emperor is the supreme commander of the army, and he also elaborates on the Ministry of War, the Governor's Mansion and other institutions, all the way to the composition of military units at all levels.  There is also a chapter devoted to the missionary officer system.

    Li Zicheng spent the whole morning getting a general understanding of "The Thought and System of the Datong Army", and then went to read the "On War".

    The author of "On War" is signed by Zhao Han, so it is also called "The Art of War of the Tian Family" among the people.

    "On War" condenses many ideas of "Sun Tzu's Art of War". The opening chapter points out that war is an extension of politics and an extreme means to achieve political goals.

    ? Then it elaborates on the three stages of war: destroying the enemy's army, occupying the enemy's land, and conquering the enemy's ideas.

    Then he defines the three elements of war: strategy, tactics, and combat.

    The main content of this book is about strategy, tactics and combat.  Especially the strategic chapters, even the civil servants of the cabinet and the Ministry of war must learn.

    As for the traditional cognition of the art of war, it is basically concentrated in the "tactical chapter", where command, logistics, arms, etc. are all available.  This part of the content was definitely not written by Zhao Han out of thin air, but a refined summary of the articles and reports of the commanders-in-chief of the various armies across the country.

    And recruitment, training, combat readiness, terrain, climate, etc., all belong to the "Strategy Chapter".  Among them, the elements of combat readiness also include logistics, but the logistics of the "Strategy Chapter" is more macroscopic, and the logistics of the "Tactical Chapter" is much narrower.

    "Battle Chapter" is more specific, the content is almost all written by the frontline generals, and Zhao Han raised the height after refining and summarizing.  It can be divided into: definition of battle, purpose of battle, means of battle, result of battle, etc.  And a large number of ancient and modern actual combat cases are used to analyze and explain the whole process of combat.

    Li Zicheng stayed up all night to read "On War".

    He got this book as if he had found a treasure, and he watched until dawn, and found Zhang Nai with bloodshot eyes: "This book, all students in the military academy must learn it?"

    Zhang Nai explained: "It takes four years to complete "On War". The crash course mainly studies the "Battle Chapter", but it is required to continue self-study in the army."

    Li Zicheng asked: "How many students graduate from the Nanjing Military Academy every year?"

    Zhang Nai said: "The number of students in the crash course varies every year. Each army recommends 50 outstanding soldiers to enroll each year. In addition, the general class can recruit 80 high school graduates every year.  It is a general of hundreds of people (post leader). I heard that the graduation examination is very strict. If you cannot graduate after three years of delay, you can only get a certificate of graduation. The top ten dropouts can apply to be captains overseas or in Heilongjiang (approximately equivalent to platoon leaders)  .”

    "This Nanjing Military Academy, even if only 50 graduates a year, are still 50 young generals," Li Zicheng became more emotional, and asked, "How many military academies are there in the country?"

    Zhang Nai said: "There seem to be six schools now, I'm not too sure."

    Li Zicheng secretly rejoiced that he chose to surrender.  Every yearsp; When the class bell rang, Zhao Kuanghuan and Zhang Tingxun quickly stood up and ran towards their respective classes.

    The teacher is Zhu Huai, a native of Hunan, a former Ming Tongsheng, who served as a division-level missionary officer in the army, and was transferred to the military academy as a teacher due to injuries.  He now receives double salary, enjoys the treatment of deputy division, and stands upright on the podium: "Today we will talk about the 'Battle Chapter'. What is the definition of fighting? It is to use various means to destroy or subdue the enemy! Do you want to fight? What should you do?"  Fighting, or subduing others without fighting, is what the 'Battle Chapter' is about"

    The crown prince who had studied in the Imperial City School for many years became a top student in an instant when he arrived at the Military Academy.

    Practical subjects are definitely not the strongest, but theoretical subjects often take the top three.

    The main issue is the source of students. Most of the military students come from middle school graduates who cannot go to college at public expense, and at the same time have no money to go to college at their own expense.  A high school diploma guarantees that the cultural courses of military school students will not be too bad, but it still cannot be compared with the real top students.

    Of course, it is impossible to talk about wars on paper.

    ?The real famous generals are all trained in actual combat. Therefore, when a military student arrives in the army, he can only be a sentry commander who leads a hundred soldiers. He needs to be honed slowly before he can be promoted.

    At the end of the day's class, Zhao Kuanghuan fled immediately.

    He spends half of his time studying in the military academy, and half of the time he has to study Chu (how can this be harmonious?) Jun courses.

    Leaving the military academy, Zhao Kuanghuan sent a letter to his attendant, instructing: "Old rules, go and come back quickly!"

    The attendant took the letter and ran to Jinling University. This is helping the prince deliver the love letter.

 Text 841 [Princesses also want to choose a consort]

    ,

    Court meeting.

    Zhao Han sat on the main hall and said to the courtiers: "The crown prince is seventeen years old, and the marriage has been discussed for a full year. Since there are endless disputes, I will make a compromise decision today. The crown prince's main concubine and side concubine,  Regardless of whether they are born poor or rich, they are only selected from female students in various provinces. The following conditions must be met——&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;First, dignified appearance and virtuous personality; second, at least a middle school graduate; third, age above fifteen and under twenty; fourth, no marriage contract is required, and those who regret marriage will be severely punished.&amp;quot;  "

    &amp;quot;Ten people are selected from each province, and they will be re-elected by the director of ceremonies. The culture is tested first, and the difficulty is slightly lower than that of the middle school graduation test, so as to prevent local officials from fraudulent selection.  Follow the rules for choosing a concubine."&amp;quot;

    As soon as this remark came out, the officials were in an uproar.

    The cabinet officials looked at each other, the emperor didn't say hello in advance, and announced the decision directly at the court meeting, only the foolish would object again.

    Families with female middle school graduates will probably rush to sign up when they get the news. There are certainly not a few people who bribe officials and break up engagements, just thinking of putting their daughters in the palace.  The threshold of the family will be broken by the matchmaker.

    There are also a few officials who understand that the emperor has other intentions. This is to encourage women to study. The prince is married, one main concubine, and two side concubines.

    But this time there is only one spot left, because the prince already has two "childhood sweethearts". The woman's family also knows the situation, and has never engaged her daughter, and she is almost dragging her into an old girl.

    Qiao Hongdao, the right servant of the household department, was excited and nervous at the moment.

    His daughter, Qiao Wuhua, has a deep relationship with the prince. If her daughter becomes the princess, will it affect her career? According to the rules of the previous Ming Dynasty, the emperor or the prince's father-in-law cannot continue to be a civil servant. Usually  Reward the position of Jinyiwei, and then make him a marquis or uncle, and become a rich and leisurely nobleman from now on.

    Soon someone came out holding a wat board and asked the question Qiao Hongdao wanted to ask.

    The first assistant Song Yingxing asked: "Your Majesty, if a minister's daughter is elected as the crown princess, will she be removed from the official position and then given the title of knighthood? If the official position is not removed, will there be foreign relatives interfering in politics?"

    Zhao Han had thought about this for a long time, but he never made it public: "The former Ming Dynasty raised millions of useless clans, and the new dynasty of Datong must not repeat the same mistakes.  Everyone can make a living by themselves. However, the clan and relatives can only be officials of the third rank at most. In addition, the clans other than the five uniforms of the emperor are not restricted by any rank, even the chief assistant can do it.  &amp;quot;

    ?The chief envoy belongs to the second rank, and the limit to the third rank is set to prevent the relatives of the clan from ruling a province.

    As for the clans other than the emperor's fifth service, the orthodoxy of blood is already very low, and it is impossible to rebel through a coup d'etat, so there is no need to limit it. If there is a successful coup d'état, it means that the Datong Dynasty is rotten to the bone.  It might be better for a capable clan to be emperor.

    &amp;quot;Your Majesty is holy!&amp;quot; Song Yingxing returned to the train.

    Qiao Hongdao was stunned, he is now the third grade, if his daughter becomes the princess, his official career is basically over. He can continue to climb up, but at most he can climb to the left servant.

    Zhao Han said again: "The eldest daughter of the emperor has also reached the age of marriage. Are there any unmarried young talents in the Hanlin\Qintian Academy? The age must be under twenty years old, and graduate students are also welcome."

    Qian Qianyi and Xiao Shixuan appeared at the same time.

    Qian Qianyi said: "Report to Your Majesty, I will go to find out the situation after I retire from the court."

    Xiao Shixuan said: "I have a disciple, eighteen years old, of innocent background, proficient in mathematics, and excellent in character and learning."

    Zhao Han said: &amp;quot;I will go hunting in the eastern suburbs in a few days. You can bring all the suitable talents here and let them meet the princess.&amp;quot;

    When it comes to Emperor Zhao, it is even more interesting to choose a son-in-law. They actually choose directly from the Imperial Academy and Qintian Academy. Anyway, scholars from these two academies generally do not become political officials, and it has no impact on their official careers.

    A few days later, the emperor took his concubines and children to the Zijin Mountain hunting ground.

    Not only the eldest son of the emperor Zhao Kuanghuan/the eldest daughter of the emperor Zhao Furong accompanied him, but also the second daughter of the emperor Zhao Hanjin/the second son of the emperor Zhao Kuangzai.

    These princes and princesses are all studying in the Imperial City School, but they don't hire extra teachers like the prince.

    To put it bluntly, in case the crown prince dies unexpectedly, other princes can immediately make up for it, which is nothing more than adding relevant Chu (God so Harmony) monarch courses.

    Zhao Hanjin is fourteen years old this year. She lifted the curtains of the carriage, poked her head out to look back, and even took out the binoculars. After observing it, she retracted and said: "Sister, I can see clearly. Those young talents are enough  Seven came, and twoHe is quite handsome."&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;What does it have to do with me?&amp;quot; Zhao Furong blushed.

    Zhao Hanjin said: "There is one inside, but it is your future husband-in-law."

    Zhao Furong said: "Daddy said, if you don't like any of them, you can choose again." Zhao Hanjin came over and asked in a low voice: "Is there a man you like in school, sister?"  ?&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;Nonsense!&amp;quot;Zhao Furong's face turned even redder.&amp;quot;I got it right.&amp;quot;Zhao Hanjin smiled complacently.  , don't talk nonsense! &amp;quot;

    There are no crushes, but there are a few who are pleasing to the eye, and they are all good-educated and handsome.

    Different from the prestige of the prince in the Imperial City School, those boys dare not play with the princess in order to avoid suspicion. If they get in touch with the princess more, they will even be criticized by the teacher. The usual playmates of the princesses are all girls from the Imperial City School.  student.

    Everyone first came to the racecourse, which has been closed in advance, and no one else can come in or out.

    Zhao Han called Li Zicheng to his side, pointed to a group of fine horses and said, "Chuang Wang, let's see, how do my horses compare with those in Hetao?"

    Li Zicheng replied truthfully: "It is much taller than the horses in Hetao."

    &amp;quot;It has been bred for more than ten years to have this appearance,&amp;quot;Zhao Han said proudly, &amp;quot;Go and choose a horse for King Chuang, try my BMW and see if it can still be ridden.  &amp;quot;

    While Li Zicheng was picking a good horse, Fei Rulan was observing the seven talented men.

    Zhao Furong, who is about to get married, is Fei Rulan's daughter born in Luling, so it is natural to choose a son-in-law carefully.

    &amp;quot;Chen (student) so-and-so, pay homage to the empress!&amp;quot;

    Seven young people stepped forward to salute, and Qian Qianyi and Xiao Shixuan took the opportunity to introduce their specific situation. After some understanding, Fei Rulan said: "You young people, go and play."

    The princes and princesses, accompanied by the guards, went to play polo with these seven young people. Fei Rumei came over and said, "Which one do you like, sister?"

    Pan Qimei said: "The one named Feng Qizhi is very good. He looks handsome and talks well. He is suitable to be a son-in-law."

    Fei Rulan asked Liu Rushi: "What does Sister Liu think?"  quot; Fei Rulan smiled.

    &amp;quot;Then my younger sister will dare to say a few words,&amp;quot;Liu Rushi said,&amp;quot;That Feng Qizhi, with wandering eyes and uncertain temperament, may not be a good match for the princess. But that Tian Yang, although ordinary in appearance, has eyes  Firm, and neither humble nor overbearing."&amp;quot;

    Fei Rulan took out the detailed information given by the two courts, and read: "Tian Yang, named Angqi, is from Sha County, Fujian. His mother died young, and his father worked for the county government office.  The second place in the entrance examination, admission to Jinling University at public expense. Graduated from the university two months ago, and has not yet taken the imperial examination. Now he is a graduate student of Jinling University, and he is attached to Qintian Academy as a scholar. He has good attainments in astronomy, geography, mathematics and physics. During the university  , invented I don't understand this, so I don't mind mentioning it."&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;Where is that Feng Qizhi?&amp;quot; Fei Rumei asked.

    Fei Rulan said: &amp;quot;Feng Qizhi, courtesy name Pengju, was born in Jiangpu, Jinling. He was born in a prominent family in Jiangpu.  He is famous and enrolled in Jinling University at his own expense. He also graduated two months ago and has not yet taken the imperial examination. He is studying at the Imperial Academy. He is good at poetry and painting, good at classics and history, and quite talented in literature. He is Qian Qianyi's disciple."  ;

    Fei Rumei said: "I think this one is not bad. The family background is good, the person is handsome, and has talent and learning. Put it in the drama, he is a very good husband. As for the wandering eyes, a seventeen-year-old boy with a heart  Haven't made up my mind yet, how many can have firm eyes?"

    Fei Rulan was noncommittal, and then asked Tian Xiuying: "What does my sister think?"

    Tian Xiuying said: "I am more optimistic about that Li Quan. Although he is not as handsome as Feng Qizhi, he is still handsome. What's more rare is that this person has a heroic spirit, and he looks like he can do great things."  .&amp;quot;

    Fei Rulan glanced at Li Quan's information, and said to Fei Rumei: "This man is still from our hometown in Jiangxi. His father joined the Datong Army in Nanchang County, and he is currently serving as brigade commander in Yunnan. He is a bit old."  , was over 20 years old, and had a marriage contract. His fiancée died of illness three years ago. This man graduated from university two years ago. He gave up the imperial examination and traveled to several provinces, including Luzon and Taiwan.  No, no, I'm too active, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay home all day after marriage."amp;quot;

    After a game of polo, the princes and princesses come back.

    Fei Rulan pulled her daughter aside and asked, "Which one do you prefer?" Zhao Furong blushed and said, "Li Quan is okay."

    Hearing this answer, Fei Rulan's face turned dark, even if Tian Yang wasn't selected, that little boy Feng Qizhi would do.

    Fei Rulan endured not losing her temper, and asked her daughter, "Why is Li Quan not bad?"

    Zhao Furong said: &amp;quot;He is funny, knowledgeable, and has a good personality. &amp;quot;Fei Rulan asked: &amp;quot;Where is Feng Qizhi? &amp;quot;  This person is not good, he is oily, and he looks like a libertine at first glance."&amp;quot;

    Fei Rulan asked again: "What about Tian Yang?"

    Zhao Furong said: "Tian Yang is not good either, he is just like a goose, he doesn't talk much when he is bored."

    To put it more intuitively, Li Quan belongs to the kind of sunny boy who has traveled to several provinces, and even went to Luzon alone. This kind of heroic and sunny boy has traveled far and wide, is well-informed, and is humorous and can chat.  Where are boudoir girls not attracted?

 Text 842【Aim in the world】

    ,

    ? Seven young people from the two houses, plus Sun Yunqiu who was called to accompany them, gathered together during the break time.

    A pile of four Hanlin courtyards, and a pile of four Qintian courtyards.

    Li Quan, a sunny boy, sat down on the ground and asked: "Brother Yuan Jing, hasn't your nautical clock been built yet?"

    ?Wang Su, Zi Yuanjing, postgraduate student of Jinling University, disciple of Fang Yizhi in Qintian Academy. Major in physics, minor in astronomy, proficient in machinery, unattractive.

    The key is not to look good. At their age, even if they are not married, they have a marriage contract. It is really hard to find someone who meets the emperor's requirements, so Wang Su, who is relatively ugly, is also brought in to make up for it.

    Wang Su complained endlessly: "Brother Yuheng, the precision you require is too high, how can I make it? It has been more than three months, and the error value of the clock has only been reduced by 3%-8%.  When I die of old age, I won't be able to build you a nautical clock."&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;Try again, haha, you can definitely do it.&amp;quot; Li Quan was not discouraged, and gave Wang Su blood with a smile.

    Tian Yang said: "Brother Yuheng, if you want to measure longitude at sea, why do you have to use the clock method? Can't you use the lunar distance method?"

    Li Quan shook his head: &amp;quot;The disadvantages of the lunar distance method are too obvious. First, it cannot be used on cloudy and rainy days, and it cannot be used in the daytime; second, there are always a few days in each month.  Deviation; Third, the amount of calculation of the lunar distance method is too large, and the stargazer on the ship may not be able to grasp it."amp;quot;

    Tian Yang is a boring gourd in front of the princess, but he speaks very sharply at this moment: "It takes a year and a half for ocean voyages, and the first and second shortcomings you mentioned can be completely ignored. As for the calculation amount is too large, we can  As far as making the lunar distance table, a lot of data must be obtained in advance. The star-struck master can calculate the table according to the table, which can greatly reduce the amount of calculations, and only a high school graduate will be able to do it."amp;quot;

    Sun Yunqiu listened for a while, and asked curiously: "Are you talking about sailing?"

    Sun Yunqiu is a master of Qintian Academy, and the other three are not even bachelors, but graduate students affiliated with Qintian Academy.

    Li Quan still sat on the ground, clasped his hands and said: "It's good to teach Master Sun that the three of us are discussing how to solve the longitude measurement when sailing. Nowadays, the technology of latitude measurement at sea is very mature, but the longitude measurement has never been done."  Solution. If the ship cannot dock for a long time, you have to measure the longitude, otherwise you can only sail forward by luck."

    &amp;quot;Tell me what you think.&amp;quot; Sun Yunqiu became interested.

    Li Quan said in detail: "Now there are two theories, one is the clock method, and the other is the lunar distance method. Let's talk about the clock method first. According to the earth's orbit around the sun, the time of different longitudes is different. Qintianyuan  The planetarium has set the longitude of Nanjing as 0 degrees. By calculating the time difference between the time of the ship and Nanjing, the specific longitude of the ship can be calculated.&amp;quot;

    Sun Yunqiu can also make clocks, and immediately shook his head when he heard it: &amp;quot;The clock method is impossible to realize for the time being, the error is too large, and the current clocks are not accurate enough.&amp;quot;

    Li Quan said: &amp;quot;My idea is to improve the accuracy of clocks and watches as much as possible and build more nautical clocks. Put ten or twenty nautical clocks on the ship, and take the average number of these nautical clocks when measuring longitude.&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;No, no, you are playing luck.&amp;quot; Sun Yunqiu shook his head.

    Li Quan also said: "Then we can only use the lunar distance method. Using the position of the moon in the starry sky, the starry sky is regarded as a clock face, and the moon is used as a pointer. Then, through calculation, the position of the moon is transformed into the location of the ship."  This method needs to compare the star catalog and rely on the long-term observation data of the observatory. The observation data of the starry sky is our strength, and there are hundreds of years of data in Nanjing\Beijing. But the disadvantage is also obvious, it cannot be measured in rainy days,  There are a few days of each month where the error is very large. The main reason is that the amount of calculation is too large, and it is difficult for ordinary navigators to complete it."amp;quot;

    Wang Su added: &amp;quot;The swaying of the hull also greatly interferes with the lunar distance method. &amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;It's not very big, it's very big, so I prefer the clock method.&amp;quot; Li Quan said.

    Wang Su said: &amp;quot;We plan to improve the ruler and cross to make more sophisticated navigational instruments. But no matter how we improve, we must know where the ship is when we want to measure longitude&amp;quot;

    To use a sextant to measure longitude, the prerequisite is that the local time is known.

    Europe is also thinking of ways, because their astronomical observation data is not enough, so they have used the clock method for a long time. Since the error of the nautical clock is too large, then bring more nautical clocks.

    However, nautical clocks are precision instruments. Even in a few decades, each nautical clock will cost more than 500 pounds. Twenty thousand nautical clocks will be gone.

    So in EuropeThe city and the city never prospered, and the food needed by Keelung had to be transported from Manila. Second, due to the lack of Spanish troops, they were bullied by the natives of Taiwan, and even the castle was once breached.

    In desperation, Spain could only give up the colony of Keelung.

    Now Spain’s Pacific route starts from the South Philippine Islands, passes through Manila to the Balintang Strait, then follows the Ryukyu Islands, from the southern waters of Japan to the east, and follows the ocean current to the Americas. In the Americas, it follows the ocean current and returns straight to the sea.  Balintang Strait, and then south through Manila to the South Philippine Islands.

    Luzon\Taiwan\Ryukyu Islands have all been controlled by China, and the Balintang Strait has almost become China's inland sea, directly cutting off the Asian starting point of the Pacific route.

    In such a situation, Spain does not dare to start a conflict with China. In the event of a war, the Chinese navy does not need to do anything else, just block the Balintang Strait, and Spain's galleon trade will be declared over.

    Li Quan's idea is to start from Shandong, use Japan as a springboard to go to America, and open up a "Shandong-America" ??route.

    This route is useless now, but if Chinese maritime merchants want to do business in the Americas in the future, they can choose from two routes: one is Taipei-America, and the other is Shandong-America.

    Zhao Han showed a gratified expression, and asked: "Traveling thousands of miles into the sea, you will almost die, do you know the danger?"

    Li Quan categorically replied: &amp;quot;Although he died nine times, he has no regrets!&quot;

    This person must not be a son-in-law, Zhao Han doesn't want his daughter to be a widow in a daze

 Text 843 [Not just as simple as a navigator]

    ,

    Li Quan squatted down suddenly, picked up a stone and drew a map.

    He pointed to the simple map and said: "If there are sea merchants going to America, the merchants from Fujian\Zhejiang can start from Taipei and take the current shipping route of the Spaniards.  You can take the dangerous route and go east to Japan directly. In fact, the two north-south routes, after passing Japan, will converge into one, and the Spaniards call it 'Western Wind Flow'."&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;When the population in the north is booming in the future, the northern route will play a greater role. Hebei\Shandong\Liaoning can all use Japan to go to America.&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot; And here! This is the Tumen River (Tumen River) at the handover between our country and North Korea. Colleagues of the Imperial Academy should know that it was originally an inland river in China. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Lee family expanded North Korea.  Occupy a large area of ??our country, and set up six towns on the south side of the Tumen River."&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;Now, Baozhou on the south bank of the Yalu River has been re-occupied by our Celestial Dynasty. The next step is to take back the south bank of the Tumen River. At that time, the vast land east of the Great Wall of Liao can enter the sea by the Tumen River.  Whether it is selling goods or transporting troops and food, they can all be closely connected with Shandong\Hebei\Liaoning. If there is a rebellion there (Jilin), one can march troops from Liaoning, and two can take the Tumen River by sea to quell the rebellion, and so on.  It can keep the stability of the Northeast."&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;If you want to develop both sides of the Tumen River, the northern air route must be developed. The development of the northern air route can also deter North Korea and Japan, so that these two vassal states dare not have differences.&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;The first stop to open up the northern sea route is to go to Japan to explore and get in touch with the lord in the east of Japan. The Tokugawa shogunate does not allow the lord to communicate with foreign businessmen, so the more remote the supply port, the better. But not too much  Otherwise, there will not be much food and drinking water at all."&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;Therefore, the first step for me to open up the Northern Sea Route is to open up the joints in the east of Japan. It would be best if His Majesty can let the shogunate open in the east.  port! &amp;quot;

    &amp;quot; Japan opened the eastern port, and the initial network of the northern route was formed. The estuary of the Tumen River, the eastern port of Japan, Nagasaki, Japan, the ports of Korea, Tamna County (Jeju Island), Shandong, Hebei,  Liaoning everything can be connected by sea, and my army of the Celestial Dynasty can go to any place by boat at any time."

    &amp;quot;Your Majesty, please issue two decrees. One is to order Japan to open the eastern port, and the other is to immigrate to the mouth of the Tumen River. The immigration does not need too much, the first batch of 2,000 people is enough.&amp;quot;

    After thinking about it carefully, Zhao Han said with a smile: "You are not sailing and exploring, you are planning the future strategic layout of Northeast China, North Korea and Japan. The Tumen River is not marked on folk maps, and you are  How do you know? &amp;quot;

    Li Quan replied: &amp;quot;I consulted the Northeast survey map of Qintianyuan. Both sides of the Tumen River were full of Jurchens in the early Ming Dynasty. After the Korean occupation of the south bank, the Jurchens were driven to the north. The Jianzhou Tartars rebelled,  Many of the Jurchens on the north bank of the Tumen River were dispatched to fight, and now the situation is sparsely populated. They just took the opportunity to immigrate, and first firmly occupied the mouth of the Tumen River."

    &amp;quot;The idea is very good, but the imperial court has limited energy. &amp;quot; Zhao Han said.

    The imperial court really has a lot of things to do. The Monan Grassland that was just confiscated needs to be consolidated, and the three guards continue to spend money and food. The cabinet and the Ministry of War are planning to conquer Burma and Vietnam. In this way, the troops and money and food in the north and the south,  They are all in the middle of a large-scale call for mobilization.

    It seems that there is no war, but in fact, it has never been idle.

    Li Quan said: "Immigrants at the mouth of the Tumen River only need to move 2,000 people and distribute weapons to them, which is enough to establish a foothold there. As for Japan, first issue an imperial decree to test the reaction of the shogunate."  ;quot;

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "I am a little bit reluctant to let you go on a sailing adventure. Where have you been?"

    Li Quan replied: &amp;quot;Jinling\Jiangxi\Guangxi\Guangdong\Fujian\Yunnan, went to Taiwan and Luzon Island.&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;You are a good son, your ambition is everywhere!&amp;quot; Zhao Han praised.

    The emperor's favor for Li Quan was envied by everyone present, even Feng Qizhi wanted to go to sea.

    Li Quan's eloquent talk and the emperor's admiration already made the princess's eyes sparkle, and Zhao Furong fell in love with this heroic young man even more.

    Zhao Han said: "I agree to all your requests, including emigrating to the Tumen River and ordering the Japanese shogunate. I will give you five more boats and a quota of 1,000 soldiers. But for 1,000 soldiers, you need to recruit them yourself."  , can only be recruited from veterans and farmers. Whether you can persuade them to go to sea depends entirely on your own ability. Well I will give you one hundred thousand taels of silver as funds. If you feel that the money is not enough, you can do business along the way, anyway.  You need to get through to Japan first, then transport the goods and sell them to the Japanese lords."amp;quot;

    &nbsp; &amp;quot;Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!&amp;quot; Li Quan was overjoyed. Zhao Han asked: &amp;quot;Is there a name for the estuary of the Tumen River?&amp;quot;

    Li Quan replied: "The large area, including the entire lower reaches of the Tumen River, is called Huizhu \ Xunchun, etc., and they are all transliterations of Jurchen words."

    &amp;quot;From now on, it will be called Hunchun.&amp;quot;Zhao Han finally understood where it was. Hunchun here is next to the sea.

    Hundreds of years later, Hunchun is bounded by Russia to the east and North Korea to the west, and the estuary is divided between North Korea and Russia. As a result, the border of Hunchun, which is only 30 miles away from the sea, has to borrow ports from other countries to go to sea.  Jilin Province will forever lose its access to the sea.

    At that time, Cheng Qi, the imperial envoy of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, was completely unaware of the importance of the mouth of the sea, so he handed over all the boundary survey work to the representatives of Tsarist Russia. The Russians drew the border however they wanted, and finally drew the border of China at a place 20 miles away from the sea.  .

    Even so, Tsarist Russia is still greedy and keeps moving the boundary markers secretly.

    When Wu Dacheng from the Procuratorate came to inspect the border, the boundary marker was already 88 miles away from the coast. Wu Dacheng argued hard, and finally re-established the boundary marker, 30 miles away from the coast, thus recovering 10 square kilometers of land.

    The two sides almost used force in the end, because Wu Dacheng was not satisfied. The Russians transferred a warship from Vladivostok and turned on the xenon headlights to show off their force. Wu Dacheng transferred to the Beiyang Fleet and invited the Russians to visit the Dingyuan ship and turned on all the headlights in response.  Finally, it took back the Heidingzi Mountain area, which was later Jingxin Town, Hunchun City.

    At this moment, the south bank of the Tumen River belongs to North Korea, but the north bank belongs to China and must be firmly occupied.

    Occupy there, Jilin will have an outlet to the sea.

    Zhao Han pointed to Li Quan and asked Li Zicheng, "What does King Chuang think of this son?" Li Zicheng agreed, "He is a rare talent." Zhao Han asked again: "  quot;Can you ride a horse?&amp;quot;

    Li Quan replied: "I have ridden the horse of Datong Army in Yunnan, and it is much shorter than your Majesty's BMW." "Pick up the bow and arrow, and follow me to hunt. Drive!"  Mercedes Benz.

    Li Quan was full of pride, asked for a bow and arrow from the sergeant, picked a good horse, and followed the emperor to the Zijin Mountain hunting ground.

    Seeing her daughter staring at Li Quan obsessively, Fei Rulan sighed and said: "You know that once you go to sea, you may not return for three to five years, and you may even hide in the belly of a fish at any time."

    Zhao Rongfu was silent when he heard about it.

    Fei Rulan said: "My daughter has a good eye, and she can immediately fall in love with a hero. But such a young hero pretends to have a world in his heart, and he can't take care of his family. If you recruit him as a son-in-law, you  I'm going to be a widow, and it's even rarer to see her than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."&amp;quot;

    Zhao Rongfu still did not speak.

    Fei Rulan continued to persuade: "If you don't like others, then wait a little longer and see if there is a good match in the civil and military families of the Manchu Dynasty."

    &amp;quot;Well.&amp;quot;

    Zhao Rongfu agreed softly, she knew how dangerous it was to go to sea, but she still felt quite uncomfortable. But that was all, after all, they met for the first time today and did not have a deep emotional foundation.

    Fei Rulan already had an idea. The selection range of the Hanlin Academy\Qintian Academy is too narrow. It must be expanded. While searching in the officials' homes, they can also choose from Jinling University. Especially for those who have just graduated from college, many of them are not married yet, so they must be able to  Find someone who is both talented and virtuous.

    &amp;quot;Hoo!&amp;quot; Li Zicheng shot an arrow, which hit the wild boar in the front.

    The wild boar continued to run wild. Compared with previous years, the guards were much more professional. They beat the gongs and drums to frighten the injured wild boar away, preventing it from rushing in the direction of the emperor. The hounds had already been released to round up this unlucky animal.  wild boar.

    Li Zicheng chased after him on horseback, endured the old pain, and shot the wild boar in the ass with another arrow. Zhao Han praised: "Chuang Wang is good at archery!"

    The wild boar lost a lot of blood, ran for a while, and finally stopped, grunting and facing the humans. Li Zicheng fired arrows repeatedly, and hit several arrows, the wild boar fled again, and gradually fell down.

    The hounds chased another elk out, Zhao Han said: "Try it!" Li Quan bent his bow and set an arrow, and the arrow passed by.

    &amp;quot;You are not good at archery, you need to practice more in the future.&amp;quot; Zhao Han jokingly raised his flintlock.

    &amp;quot;Bang!&amp;quot;

    The running elk fell down at the sound, then stood up again, took a few steps forward and lay down again.

    It didn't die, the hounds swarmed up, aimed their jaws at the neck, and finally bit the elk to death.

    Li Zicheng turned his horse's head when he heard the gunshots, and saw the emperor hitting the elk with a blunderbuss, and suddenly he felt a little helpless: Is this called hunting?

    Zhao Han casually threw the flintlock gun to the guard, and the guard next to him immediately handed over another loaded one.

    Zhao Han shouted at Li Zicheng: "It's a competition between Chuang Wang, who has killed more prey today?" Li Zicheng said: "Your Majesty uses the blunderbuss while I use the bow and arrow.  ;quot;

    Zhao Han said: &amp;quot;I can hunt with a blunderbuss, which is also a manifestation of strength, and it is the same reason to compete for supremacy in the world.&amp;quot;

    Li Zicheng seemed to think of something, but he nodded and said: "That's true."

    Emperor Zhao's ability to shoot a gun has become more and more refined. Even on the battlefield, he can be called a sharpshooter. Next, when he hunted, there were very few misses, which made Li Zicheng quite admire.

    After returning from hunting, Fei Rulan personally led the horse for him, and said while walking: "My daughter has fallen in love with that Li Quan, and the rest are not good. I have already persuaded him, and I have to choose again. Why don't I choose the horse in the Manchu Dynasty?"  Civil and military families, or Jinling University to choose a son-in-law."&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;It’s all right, you can arrange it,&amp;quot;Zhao Han said and added,&amp;quot;After you choose, bring me to show.&amp;quot;nbsp; Zhao Han shouted at Li Zicheng: "It's a competition to compare the king of Chuang, who hunted more prey today?" Li Zicheng said: "Your Majesty uses the gun, and I use the bow and arrow.  .&amp;quot;

    Zhao Han said: &amp;quot;I can hunt with a blunderbuss, which is also a manifestation of strength, and it is the same reason to compete for supremacy in the world.&amp;quot;

    Li Zicheng seemed to think of something, but he nodded and said: "That's true."

 Text 844【Official Smuggling】

    ,

    Zhao Han did not directly issue an imperial edict to the Japanese shogunate, but sent an envoy to take Li Quan to Nagasaki first.

    Nagasaki has Zheng's business house, and the person in charge is Zheng Daozhou, Zheng Sen's younger brother.

    The name Zheng Daozhou belonged to his son in history, and he has always been called Tianchuan Zuoqimenwei.

    Li Quan followed the envoy Wen Jiuyi, first went to Fujian by boat, and then went to Nagasaki via Ryukyu. He was not idle along the way. He learned sailing from the captain of the merchant ship and mastered various precautions on the ship.

    This young man who intends to sail around the world has actually only gone to sea once, and he is a complete rookie.

    Arriving in Nagasaki, the number of Dutch merchant ships here is pitifully small. Backed by Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, Chinese maritime merchants have a huge competitive advantage, and they are crazily crowding out the market share of the Dutch.

    The reason why the Netherlands can continue to mix is ??mainly due to the sea trade quota of the shogunate.

    ? The Japanese shogunate stipulates that China can only sell how many ships of goods each year, and how much goods the Netherlands can sell each year. Once the limit is exceeded, I am sorry, and the excess merchant ships should wait until next year.

    This move forced Chinese and Dutch maritime merchants to quietly join hands with local lords in smuggling.

    After all, smuggling is smuggling. Some Chinese businessmen have reached a cooperation with the Dutch who have lost the competition. When they buy goods from the coast of China, they fly the Chinese flag, and when they sell goods in Nagasaki, they fly the Dutch flag.  Business.

    &amp;quot; Zheng Daozhou pays homage to Mr. Angel!&amp;quot;&amp;quot;Mr. Zheng please get up quickly!&amp;quot;

    Wen Jiuyi helped Zheng Daozhou up, and introduced: &amp;quot;This is Li Quan and Li Yuheng, who are entrusted with the imperial order, please ask Mr. Zheng if you have any questions.&amp;quot;

    Zheng Daozhou didn't know where this young man came from, since he was sent by the emperor, he must be respected, so he hurriedly cupped his hands: "I have seen Mr. Li."

    Li Quan replied: "I'm bothering Mr. Zheng."

    After showing tea to the two, Zheng Daozhou sent away the idlers and others, and Li Quan also directly explained his purpose. But Zheng Daozhou laughed: "This is easy, there is no need to alarm the shogunate at all!"

    &amp;quot;Why?&amp;quot; Li Quan asked.

    Zheng Daozhou explained: &amp;quot;Today's shogun, called Tokugawa Iezuna, is only twelve or thirteen years old, and political affairs are decided by the shogunate elders.&amp;quot;

    Li Quan asked again: "Bribe the old man?"

    Zheng Daozhou shook his head: "There is no need to disturb the old man, just go to Baoke Zhengzhi directly." &amp;quot;Who is Baoke Zhengzhi?" Li Quan became more and more puzzled.

    Zheng Daozhou explained in detail: &amp;quot;In terms of seniority, Hoshina Masayuki is the uncle of the shogun. The concubine gave birth to a son. Because the wife was jealous, he was fostered by another family since he was a child.  , was taken back by the second-generation general of the shogunate, and his favor was added. He first ordered him to worship the 200,000 koku of the Yamagata domain, and then ordered him to worship the 230,000 koku of the Aizu domain. Don’t look at the shogunate as the old Nakai Takakiyosuke  In fact, Baoke Zhengzhi has a greater influence behind the scenes."amp;quot;

    Li Quan asked: &amp;quot;Can the shogunate open the port if Baoke Zhengzhi is right?&amp;quot;

    "I can't, and it's not necessary," Zheng Daozhou said, "the two territories of Hoshina Masanobu are both in the easternmost part of Japan. Those lords in the west are more or less smuggled in sea trade,  And Masaoyu Hoshike wanted to smuggle, but no merchants were willing to go. Therefore, Masayuki Hoshina severely cracked down on smuggling, mainly because he could not make a profit from it. Mr. Li wanted to open a supply port in eastern Japan, so he could cooperate with Masayuki Hoshina. His territory is there.  ! To put it bluntly, this person is like an emperor's uncle in Japan, who dares to say anything if he secretly engages in smuggling?"

    &amp;quot;Wonderful, Mr. Zheng is a great talent!&amp;quot; Li Quan praised.

    Zheng Daozhou waved his hand: &amp;quot;I am not a great talent, but I am familiar with the situation in Japan.&amp;quot;

    Li Quan originally thought that it would be necessary to use force, or at least issue an imperial edict to the shogunate, but he did not expect to be able to do so through smuggling.

    Li Quan asked Zheng Daozhou to prepare silk, porcelain and other things, and asked Zheng Daozhou for some people to be his attendants, so he went to Edo as a Chinese envoy.

    ? They have a blank imperial decree, fill in the content according to the situation.

    After arriving in Edo, Wen Jiuyi was in charge of dealing with the shogunate. It was nothing more than Japan's loyalty and obedience, and the Datong Emperor was very relieved. He ordered the envoy to bring some silk and porcelain, and rewarded the shogunate as a sign of encouragement.

    &amp;quot;It is still prosperous, but there are too many beggars.&amp;quot; Li Quan arrived in Edo and made a fair evaluation of it.

    Fifty years ago, Tokugawa Ieyasu opened the shogunate here, and ordered the daimyos in western Japan to provide 10 laborers for every thousand stones, and vigorously built the Edo castle town. The land around the castle was all built into towns. Later, daimyos from all over the world  He and Qiben were also asked to move his family to live. Even, all over the country.The nearby Sakata Port.

    In the Edo period, there was a proverb that "there is a port (Osaka) in the west, and Sakata in the east". The prosperity of Sakata Port can be close to that of Osaka, which originated from the prosperity of safflower trade. Safflower is a kind of chrysanthemum  It can be used as a raw material for cosmetics, cloth dyeing, and painting. It was popular all over Japan in the Edo period.

    As for now, the safflower trade has just started, and Sakata is just a small port.

    That area is not only rich in safflower, but also rich in rice and vegetables, which can be used as a supply port. Of course, the most important food for ocean voyages is "marching rations"!

    ? In ancient Chinese wars, it was normal to make meals out of pots, but there were also a wide variety of emergency rations.

    For example, in the Ming Dynasty, there were glutinous rice and glutinous rice cakes. The former is similar to self-heating rice, and the latter is similar to compressed biscuits.

    The rice is boiled with rice, and then exposed to the sun. After repeated cooking for ten times, the weight and volume are greatly reduced. When eating, throw it into the pot and boil it, or simply soak it in water.

    Mi cakes are ground into powder with broomcorn or rice, made into cakes and cooked, and also exposed to the sun. So they become compressed biscuits, which can be eaten directly or thrown into a pot for cooking.

    Of course, these two kinds of emergency dry food must not taste very good.

    Moreover, the operation was relatively cumbersome. Many troops in the late Ming Dynasty were too lazy to use it, and even many generals didn't even know it existed. Zhao Han didn't know it existed in the first few years when he first joined the army, and he gradually realized it later.

    If Li Quan wants to sail the ocean, these two kinds of emergency dry food are necessary.

    Usually, it is sealed and stored layer by layer to prevent it from absorbing air and moisture and becoming moldy. After the normal food is eaten, it can be taken out and used until the next shore replenishment

 Text 845 [Little fool]

    ,

    Li Quan is an actionist, but not a blind actionist. As a sailing rookie, it is irresponsible to the crew to sail directly.

    After he returned from Japan, he quickly acquired five ships, all of which were very strong warships. He also had to unload some artillery, one is to reduce the load and carry more food and drinking water; the other is to stabilize the center of gravity and withstand the ocean  Sailing big waves.

    Li Quan intends to spend one year doing business between China and Japan, so that he can not only become familiar with the routes between China and Japan, but also quickly improve his navigation ability.

    He was assigned sailors and experienced captains for the five sea-going ships. These people signed up voluntarily and were selected from the navy.

    As for the soldiers accompanying the ship, Li Quan needs to recruit them himself, and the source of the soldiers comes from veterans and farmers. Why do you need to recruit yourself?

    Only the troops recruited by Li Quan himself can obey his words. If there are no obedient soldiers to follow, Li Quan may not be able to control them when they are in an unknown and dangerous situation. Those captains and sailors from the navy will directly join forces to rebel  Both are possible.

    What Da Gama, what Magellan, have encountered the captain who took the lead in rebellion.

    Zhao Han was very optimistic about this young man, so he asked him to recruit soldiers himself. This order is the key to the success of the circumnavigation.

    It was early winter when Li Quan received the ship.

    There was no fighting in the Heilongjiang River Basin. The aristocratic generals sent by the Tsar to be the pioneers broke out with the Siberian Cossack leaders. Although the situation has stabilized now, it is certain that they will not be able to go south to Heilongjiang this year. They must wait until next year when the snow melts in spring.

    And Wang Fuchen, who was in charge of fighting against Russia, had moved his troops to Hailanpao.

    There are not many soldiers under Wang Fuchen, and all of them are single. They are either unmarried or widowed, and they have been given enough money to settle down, so they will have to garrison Hailanpao for a long time in the future.

    ? For all the tribes along the banks of the Heilongjiang River, the leaders must send their unmarried daughters to marry the soldiers under Wang Fuchen's command. This is still not enough, so each tribe has a quota, and they send as many unmarried women as possible.

    All tribes are willing to do this.

    First, the Datong Army will use food as a dowry gift, which can solve the urgent needs of the tribes. Second, they were burned, killed, looted, and bullied by the Cossacks, and the Datong Army can help them. Third, the Datong Army will definitely dominate this place, and get married more  beneficial to their future development.

    Hailanpao is located at the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Jingqili River. There used to be several large tribes along the river nearby.  A lot of people were killed, and many people died of cold and hunger.

    After the Datong army was stationed in Hailanpao, hundreds of Daur people came to defect with their families.

    They helped the Datong army repair the walled city, and by the way they could have a living. After the walled city was repaired, the Datong army lived in the stockade, and the Daur people settled around the walled city, and together they planted grain in the deserted fields.

    ?Because they share a common enemy, the Datong Army and the Daur people can coexist harmoniously, and even feel a bit like they share the same hatred.

    The crown prince's concubine selection has already begun, but Zhang Tingxun will definitely not be able to attend the wedding.

    ? There are 10 imperial concubine candidates in each province, and they will not be sent to Nanjing for re-election until after the Chinese New Year. But Zhang Tingxun ran away after the Chinese New Year, and even went straight to Heilongjiang by boat without telling his family.

    At this time, the Anton Governor's Mansion, which was the former Heilongjiang Governor's Office, was still based near Harbin.

    A large number of scholars, actors, famous prostitutes, booksellers, and their wives and children were exiled to Harbin to enrich the population.

    After a cold winter, no one died of starvation, but dozens of people died of illness. It was all because they couldn't stand the cold, caught a cold and had a fever.

    When Zhang Tingxun arrived in Harbin, the snow here had already melted. He saw outside the walled city, many people were clumsily plowing the land.

    These exiles are all educated people. Even if there are soldiers from farmers who teach them how to farm, it is still difficult to get started quickly. Sometimes after a day of tossing, the soldiers work more, and those guys are watching stupidly.

    Li Zheng personally rode out of the city to inspect, and when he saw this scene, he immediately became furious: "If you can't learn it, you will use a whip, and you will still be pampered here?"

    Ever since, a miraculous scene appeared, the exile whipped the cattle, and the soldiers beat the exile. "Don't whip the cattle hard, the cattle are more expensive than you!" The soldiers waved their whips angrily.

    The well-known talented man risked Pijiang, and he is now learning to urge cattle to plow the ground. He can't hold the heavy curved plow at all, and he always stumbles when he advances. He also can't figure out the temper of the cattle, and often makes the cattle unwilling  work.

    Due to the insufficient number of cattle, more exiles had to plow the land manually.

    ?Mao Bijiang suffered a serious illness in winter, and at this time his body had just recoveredThe cows who refused to obey and the soldiers who kept shouting and scolding made him feel extremely wronged, and tears dripped down his face as he worked.

    He really wanted to write a poem to express his resentment, but the sergeant didn't give him a chance at all. The adjutant came riding on horseback: "Guardian, there are reports from military students!"

    Li Zheng was furious at the moment, and said unhappily: "Take him to register for the camp, why tell me these things?"

    The adjutant said: "He is the son of Dudu Zhang."

    &amp;quot;The little bastard from Zhang Tieniu's family, came to our place?&amp;quot; Li Zheng was very surprised.

    At the gate of the Walled City, Zhang Tingxun saw Li Zheng, smiled and said: "My nephew greets my uncle!"

    Li Zheng didn't give a good face: "It's very cold here, peeing in winter will freeze to ice, what the fuck are you doing here?"

    Zhang Tingxun sighed: "I didn't get my graduation certificate in the military academy, and I got the third place in the test among dropouts, so I simply came to my uncle to be the captain."

    &amp;quot;Nonsense, if you die here, your father won't fight with me?&amp;quot; Li Zheng already has a huge head.

    But Zhang Tingxun said: "A good man is alive, and fame should be obtained from the horse."

    &amp;quot;You are so eloquent, why can't you get a military school diploma?&amp;quot; Li Zheng sarcastically said. Zhang Tingxun was speechless immediately.

    Li Zheng said again: "I have no battles to fight here, and for the next few years, I will focus on keeping the people farming and building the city. How about you learn how to farm?"

    Zhang Tingxun said: "Aren't you fighting the Raksha ghost?"  Hailan bubble! &amp;quot;

    Li Zheng said angrily: "Go away."

    Zhang Tingxun knelt down straight and straight: "Uncle, my nephew is not joking. My nephew can't read well, and I can't compare with others in everything, so I still have a lot of strength. Your Majesty treats my nephew very well.  Enrolled in the Imperial City School, and made an exception to allow my nephew to study in the Nanjing Military Academy. Here, the military academy failed to pass the graduation certificate, and my mother wanted to ask His Majesty to arrange a police position. This is too shameful, and my nephew has to rely on himself  It's impossible to get ahead. &amp;quot;

    Li Zheng's tone was a little slow, and he asked: "Your Majesty knows that you have come to Heilongjiang?"

    Zhang Tingxun replied: "If Your Majesty disagrees, how dare they let me come here? They are afraid that my father will cause trouble."

    Li Zheng comforted and said: "Since you're here, stay here and don't think about Hailan Pao anymore. After a few years, you will be promoted to the captain, and you can take the opportunity to transfer to other troops.  In this icy and snowy Harbin, it is stronger."

    "If this is the case, I will be looked down upon by others," Zhang Tingxun began to kowtow, "Please uncle let me go to Hailan Pao, and fight with Rakshasa ghosts with real swords and guns, so that I can make meritorious deeds and be promoted without being laughed at."  .&amp;quot;

    Li Zheng used delaying tactics: &amp;quot;You are exhausted all the way, go to the camp to rest first, and the future things will be arranged slowly. &amp;quot;

    Zhang Tingxun said: "Uncle, don't coax me. Although I am stupid in reading, I am not really stupid. If my uncle refuses, my nephew will jump into the river and commit suicide!"

    Li Zheng smiled and said: "You can swim, you won't drown."

    Zhang Tingxun stood up suddenly and ran towards the Songhua River. He still picked up a stone on the bank and jumped into the river without saying a word. The river was bubbling.

    Li Zheng looked dumbfounded, and then yelled: "Hurry up and save people!" This guy is just like his father, and he is a stubborn fool.

    When I fished it out, I just choked on some water, and it wasn't life-threatening at all.

    Zhang Tingxun laughed and said happily: "Uncle, don't think about locking me up. If you don't let your nephew go to Hailan, you will jump into the river as soon as you find an opportunity. A manly man, he spits a nail, and commits suicide."  Suicide, talking doesn't count is a son of a bitch."&amp;quot;

    Li Zheng has been speechless. He has fought in the battlefield for more than ten years, how could he encounter such a bastard? "Stay here first and then talk." Li Zheng was going to perfunctory.  The soldiers held on tightly.

    This guy was pressed to the ground with his face on the ground, and he was still playing a rascal: "Don't make me anxious, I really made me anxious, I will commit suicide even if I jump into the latrine!"

    Li Zheng looked at the group of exiles in the distance, and then at Zhang Tingxun, who was cheating, and felt that he shouldn't be the Anton Protector.

    After thinking for a long time, Li Zheng squatted down, approached Zhang Tingxun and asked: "Do you really want to fight so much?"

    &amp;quot;I’ve been thinking about it for a long time,&amp;quot; Zhang Tingxun said, &amp;quot;Nanjing’s Huahua World is very comfortable to others, but I feel suffocated. It’s so good here, riding  The fastest horse, wielding the sharpest knife, killing the most vicious enemy, that is the real fun! My father has looked down on me since he was a child, and he also looked down on my mother. I will show him, I am more than  He knows how to fight! &amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;You are angry with your father. &amp;quot; Li Zheng said.

    ? Zhang Tieniu's main wife is a widow from Wuxing Town. At the beginning, I didn't know much about it, and I didn't think too far. It's good to have a big ass.

    Gradually, I disliked my wife and raised my concubine outside. Even if I could take a vacation to visit relatives, I would not come back. Over the years, I have sent back several concubines to have children, and the household registration is convenient for studying in Nanjing.

    Zhang Tingxun admired his father while hating him at the same time. This thought took root, and he made up his mind to make a name for himself in the army.

    Li Zheng looked at Zhang Tingxun's glasses, and Zhang Tingxun looked at each other calmly.

    Eyes can't deceive anyone, that guy has already told Li Zheng that if he doesn't agree with this guy, he will definitely commit suicide.

    Li Zheng sighed and said: "Then you go. There is a batch of grain and grass to be sent to Hailan Pao, and you can go north with the grain transport team."?It’s so boring. It’s so good here. Riding the fastest horse, wielding the sharpest knife, and killing the most vicious enemies, that’s the real pleasure! My father looked down on me since I was a child, and still  I look down on my mother. I want to show him that I am better at fighting than him!&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;You are angry with your father. &amp;quot; Li Zheng said.

 Text 846【Border station】

    ,

    In the Heilongjiang and Songhua River basins, most of the indigenous boats are canoes.

    Even when the Manchu Qing conquered the Daur people, they ordered the local tribes to provide a number of canoes to accompany the army. As the Manchu Qing strengthened its control over the Songhua River Basin, in order to facilitate the shipment of pearls and mink, they finally built a slightly larger  The tribes in the Songhua River Basin followed suit.

    In two years, Anton Duhufu (Heilongjiang Dusi) built more than 100 ships.

    The Andong navy troops were also compiled and trained. The officers and soldiers were directly transferred from the post post system, because many of the officials in the post post system were dismissed officers and soldiers of the Yangtze River navy.  In the past, I was between farmers and water bandits, and I have long developed a tradition of loving groups and being fierce and aggressive.

    ?From Tieling to Harbin, there are five waterway stations along the way. From Harbin to Tongjiang, there are four waterway stations along the way. From Tongjiang to Hailanpao, there are three waterway stations along the way.

    ? There are very few people in each post station. Post officials plus post soldiers, even counting family members, will not exceed ten people. The settlement allowance is sufficient, not to mention that there are additional subsidies. The further north you go, the higher the subsidy fee.

    The post station also functions as a trading station. The nearby tribes will send special products such as fur and pearls. A small part is tribute (disguised taxation) and must be handed over to the Anton Governor's Mansion; most of them are commodities and are usually stored in  Post station, waiting for merchants to buy.

    ?Don't look at Heilongjiang's remoteness and bitter cold, but there are many people who are willing to do business.

    They are all small-scale traveling merchants, bringing cloth, tea, iron pots, food and other commodities, and transporting them to various post stations in exchange for furs and pearls. Instead, they are silver dollars and copper coins, which are not widely accepted yet, and have to wait for the population to increase  \The currency value can only be reflected after the trade volume increases.

    The establishment of this post station and trade system rapidly deepened the relationship between the imperial court and the aborigines.

    Merchants can earn money, and natives can also obtain daily necessities. The Dufu Mansion also collects a symbolic tax (in the form of tribute). Even the post officials and post soldiers have a small amount of money to fish for. As long as they don’t earn much, the Duhu Mansion will surely  Open your eyes and close your eyes.

    In the next few years, the station system will continue to extend eastward, from Tongjiang to Sakhalin Island.

    As long as the amount of tribute is not set too high, as long as the price of the goods is not too high, the tribes in the Northeast will not rebel. Even, whoever dares to attack the post station will definitely become the target of public criticism. It is the only channel for the indigenous people to obtain materials from the Han!

    Zhang Tingxun set off with the grain transport team, which was actually the Anton Navy.

    The ships of the Anton Navy have a displacement of only 50-100 tons. The tonnage is much larger than that of the Cossack ships, but they do not run so fast. The main task is to transport troops, food and goods.

    Under the readjustment of the imperial court, the displacement of ships is no longer based on "material" but "tons". There are tools for calculating displacement in docks everywhere.  Directly, Cao Chong said that he applied heavy objects like an elephant.

    And "ton" is a weight unit named by the emperor himself and appeared out of thin air.

    1 ton = 10 stones = 1000 catties = 16000 taels = 160000 coins = 1600000 points.

    It can be clearly seen that for the convenience of statistics, Emperor Zhao changed the "stone". In the past, 1 stone was equal to 120 catties, but now 1 stone is changed to 100 catties, and the intermediate conversion unit was canceled"  Jun &amp;quot; (1 stone is equal to 4 Jun, and 1 Jun is equal to 30 catties).

    The conversion of jin to 16 is advanced, and Emperor Zhao also intends to change it.

    ? However, the change was too drastic, the currency system had to be adjusted accordingly, and the scales in the hands of the people had to be replaced with new ones. Faced with opposition from the government and the opposition, Emperor Zhao could only choose to compromise.

    At night, the fleet stopped at the station wharf.

    The pier was repaired very poorly, so the ground was leveled and some planks were erected by the river.

    ?The post station is even simpler, all low houses of rammed earth. The walls are filled with withered grass, and the roof is also covered with withered grass, so that it can prevent the cold in winter.

    Soldiers helped build this kind of simple earthen house, and the few people in the post station were not enough.

    ? A great cause begins, and everything is kept simple.

    The postmen came out to meet them with postmen, they were unable to provide food, they just came out to say hello.

    Several sacks of grain were brought down, and Yicheng was very happy, and said to Hou Rusong, the general of the grain transport team, "General Hou, the leather and pearls for the first half of the year have been collected enough for tribute (taxation)."  "

    &amp;quot; Thank you Brother Pei,&amp;quot;Hou Rusong handed over a cigar,&amp;quot;Gannan’s high-quality goods, I usually don’t want to smoke them, let’s have a taste.&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;The general is generous!&amp;quot; Yicheng smiled happily.

    Whether it is the navy or the post, they all came from the same system in the past, and now they are all thrown to the northeast. The relationship between them is very harmonious.

    Hou Rusong turned his head and asked Zhang Tingxun: "Do you want a cigar, my little prince?"

    Zhang Tingxun is very fond of this title.Feeling, he took the cigar and said with a smile: "The general should call me by my name."

    Hou Rusong introduced: "Brother Pei, this is Zhang Tingxun, the son of Dudu Zhang's family."  Captain." Zhang Tingxun became more depressed the more he listened.

    Yicheng said again: "See you, Captain Zhang." "It's easy to say, Pei Yicheng is polite." Zhang Tingxun then returned the greeting.

    Yi Cheng asked: "Did you bring any newspapers?" Hou Rusong said: "I have brought them, they are all old newspapers from last year."

    &amp;quot; As long as there are newspapers, no matter whether they are new or old. &amp;quot; Yicheng is even more happy.

    The post stations in the Heilongjiang and Songhua River basins are now equipped with only three small fast boats for each station. All materials need to be transported by the navy, and the fast boats at the post stations are used to convey military information.

    The post officials and post soldiers will also cultivate their own land, but they mainly grow vegetables, and the grain fields still need to be reclaimed slowly.

    Even the food in Harbin was shipped from Liaoning, and then transported from Harbin to the stations along the way. The consumption on the way accounted for a large proportion. Therefore, it is impossible to station large troops in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the logistical burden is too heavy.

    When the various tribes resume agricultural production, they will start to collect taxes in kind on the farmland along the river, and the tribute of fur and Dongzhu will be cancelled.

    The sailors went ashore to set up pots to make food, and the Yicheng Shan invited Hou Rusong, Zhang Tingxun, and several other officers into the house to eat.

    Very simple rice and vegetables, and some cured meat.

    Meat comes from postmen hunting in their leisure time. The postmen here are equipped with a full set of armor. Once encountering a war, they immediately put on cotton armor and fight with muskets and waist knives.

    Yicheng took out the wine jar, and was about to smash the seal, Hou Rusong stopped him and said: "You save it for winter, don't drink it up now."

    &amp;quot;There are, some are, and some are prepared.&amp;quot;Yicheng smiled. Hou Rusong said to the other officers:&amp;quot;Pay the money!&quot;

    Including Zhang Tingxun, everyone paid out one after another. Zhang Tingxun paid out copper coins, and the rest all took out military tickets.

    Yicheng quickly refused: "No way, no way, they are all my brothers." &amp;quot;You work hard here, I can't let you spend money. "Hou Rusong insisted on giving the money.

    The post station in Datong Xin Dynasty does not provide free meals, and this meal is obviously a treat for the post. The post station here was just established last autumn, and it is harder than the soldiers in Harbin.

    In the end, he gave the money and forced it into the hands of Yi Cheng.

    Waiting for everyone to fill their stomachs and go out to chat, the postmen and postmen called their wives to eat the leftovers. Because there are meat and meat, they are leftovers, and they are better than the usual meals.

    Their children were not picked up, and they were thrown in their hometown to be taken care of by relatives.

    Li Zheng is currently applying to the imperial court to send in more doctors. Even apprentices who have not yet graduated from the teacher will do. Try to assign doctors to each post station, and even work as a midwife part-time in the future. And with doctors, the popularity of the post station will also increase.  If it is more prosperous, the aborigines nearby will definitely come to seek medical treatment and medicine, and the connection between the aborigines and the Han people will be closer.

    At this time, it was getting dark, and the postmen picked up the newspapers that had just been delivered, and read last year's outdated news with relish.

    They were sailors in the past, and the army had deblinding classes, so they could read a few words more or less. But it was still a bit difficult to read the newspaper, and they often came to ask Yicheng what he meant when they were halfway through the reading.

    ? They are not passionate about knowledge, nor are they trying to broaden their knowledge, they are simply thrown into a bitter cold place, wanting to get more information about Han.

    After reading the newspaper, it feels like returning to the customs.

    ? Seeing that Zhang Tingxun had no airs of aristocrats, Yicheng took the initiative to ask about Nanjing anecdotes.

    Zhang Tingxun laughed and said: "The biggest news in the south is that the crown prince is going to choose a concubine. Do you know how to choose a concubine?"

    Even Hou Rusong was interested, and hurriedly asked: "How did you choose?"

    Zhang Tingxun said: "Must have graduated from middle school. Ten candidates from each province will be selected and sent to Nanjing for re-selection. The first step of re-selection is to take an exam. If the exam is too poor, it means that the local officials are cheating and sent to Nanjing."  The ones here are not female high school graduates at all!&amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;Hahaha,&amp;quot;Hou Rusong laughed loudly, &amp;quot;This is really strange, the crown prince also has to take the test when choosing a concubine.&amp;quot;

    Yicheng's eyes brightened: "Then it doesn't mean that the daughters of us frontier soldiers, as long as they can graduate from middle school, can also have the opportunity to be the concubine of the Tian family?"

    &amp;quot;Then you should give birth to a daughter as soon as possible,&amp;quot; Hou Rusong teased, &amp;quot;  They are about the same age, so there will be a chance to marry into the heavenly family in the future."amp;quot;

    Yi Cheng happily said: "Tomorrow I will have a good job with my wife." &amp;quot; Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed.

    Over there in Harbin, a school is going to be built, but for the time being it is too late because there are no children at all.

    In the future, the children of the post stations along the way can be sent to school. The primary school must be free, and the secondary school will increase the number of public-funded students. This is also a preferential treatment for the border soldiers.

    There was a lively chat here, and the postmen stopped reading the newspapers, and gathered around to listen to Zhang Tingxun's lecture on Nanjing anecdotes.

    Zhang Tingxun is not good at reading, but he is good at telling stories, and he only tells interesting stories about high-ranking officials and noble families. A certain official, who is henpecked, was chased into the street by his wife with a broom. A certain dude was caught when the government raided the casino, and his parents felt that  Disgraceful, beaten in the street when fined and paid.

    Where have the frontier soldiers heard of these secrets?

    ?When it was getting dark, everyone still had something to say and respected Zhang Tingxun as a top storyteller.

    Zhang Tingxun also found happiness here, he likes to deal with the soldiers, unlike when he was in Nanjing, there were so many rules, as if he was a bird that flew out of the cage.Le Dao: "Tomorrow I will work hard with my wife." &amp;quot; Hahahaha!" Everyone laughed.

 Text 847【Northeast Development Plan】

    ? In the middle and lower reaches of Heilongjiang, since the Manchu Qing continued to take people away, after the Cossacks came, they were still amazed at the wealth here.

    Because they saw that there are farmlands in many places on both sides of the Heilongjiang River, and occasionally Daur cities (villages). This is like a paradise in the desolate and cold Siberia, mainly because it can be cultivated and reproduced.

    However, in history, when the noble generals of Tsarist Russia came to raise (plunder) the food and grass of the army, they were furious by the scene in front of them. On both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, all the farmlands were destroyed, and the villages were all dilapidated. It has reached the point where there is no food to grab  , it was because the previous Cossacks killed too hard.

    Due to the early arrival of the Datong Army, the situation here is much better.

    ? Zhang Tingxun came to the Heilongjiang River Basin by boat, and found that some farmland had been recultivated. According to the transliteration of the local dialect of each tribe, it was compiled as "a certain village", and the leader was appointed as the village head.

    For the time being, there will be no town-level units to prevent a certain department from taking the opportunity to become bigger!

    Hou Rusong pointed to the farmland by the river and said: "In a year or two, when these villages recover, they will be able to collect land taxes from them. Those who can farm will be charged grain as tax, and those who cannot farm will be charged fur tax.  .After a few years, there will be plenty of food, and the military rations will not have to be sent all the way."quot;

    Zhang Tingxun asked: "I see that land can be cultivated everywhere here, why don't more people immigrate to cultivate it?"

    Hou Rusong explained: "We need to eat every bite. Now the focus of immigrants in Northeast China is the Andong Governor's Office (Harbin) and its surrounding areas. Even there, serious immigrants don't want to go. At the beginning, they were forcibly expelled.  There was also some sort of commotion, and the imperial court could only throw the criminals here. Didn’t Nanjing catch gambling fiercely?”

    Zhang Tingxun nodded: "I often caught gambling last year. I heard that the casino owners, shopkeepers, and thugs were all sentenced to exile, and their wives and children were also exiled together."

    "That's right, Li Duhu (Li Zheng) requested it," Hou Rusong said with a smile, "to arrest people from all over the country and escort the exiles to Heilongjiang in batches, it takes 30,000 to 40,000 people in three years.  When the population of the Protectorate's Mansion is full, the exiles will be placed near the post station. Around the post station along the river, Han villages will be built one by one, and they will be upgraded to villages and towns in the future. They will definitely be able to deter and subdue the surrounding indigenous people. This is the imperial court's plan to open up the Northeast  , don’t worry, take your time, we are all here to fight the front station. As long as the postmen you met don’t freeze to death and die of illness, they will definitely be the mayor of the town in the future. Not only manage the Han people, but also rule the surrounding tribes of the town.”quot  ;

    The Northeast is not a colony, it is developed as a local area. &quot;Thank you, General Hou, for clarifying the confusion.&quot; Zhang Tingxun cupped his hands.

    These were all arranged by Li Zheng to let Zhang Tingxun get familiar with the situation along the way, and let Hou Rusong explain anything he didn't understand.

    Hou Rusong continued: "As long as it is not a Raksha ghost, basically anyone you meet here can ask them to help. In case of an emergency, go to the nearest indigenous tribe, whether it is Daur or other tribes, they will help you."  They are all willing to gather troops to help, because they all have blood feud with Rakshasa ghost."quot;

    "Understood." Zhang Tingxun nodded.

    Historically, the Daur people were bullied so badly by the Manchus, but when they faced the Cossack bandits, they all felt that the Manqings were their own.

    Without him, the Cossacks are too cruel!

    Hou Rusong pointed to the shore in front of him: "There used to be a big village there, where the royal relatives of the Jianzhou Tartars lived. The Raksha ghosts took advantage of the village owner's going out to eat wedding wine, and attacked and captured the village before they had time to escape."  They were all killed, and afterwards they burned the stockade with a fire. The people of this tribe died of hunger and cold in winter. Now, the Duhu Mansion has built a post station with the remaining stockade, which is named according to the local dialect.  Aihui station'. This is the nearest post station to Hailanpao, sixty miles north is Hailanpao."

    The land around Aihui Station is fertile, and it is adjacent to the strategically important Hailanpao. This will definitely be a key development village in the future, and it is estimated that it will become Aihui Town in another 20 years.

    It was getting late, and the grain transportation team chose to rest on the shore.

    The Daur people who originally settled in Aihui only returned two or three hundred one after another, and many of them died due to lack of clothing and food. They lived around the post station, and regarded the post office and post soldiers as protectors.  The team came and offered to help unload the goods.

    There was a lot of chatter, and Zhang Tingxun asked the army guide: "What are they talking about?"

    The guide explained: "These Daur people are asking merchants when they will bring salt. The salt stored in the post station is not enough, and they have not been traded to them. Now they are all looking forward to Han merchants."

    &quot;What kind of salt did they eat before?&quot; Zhang Tingxun asked.

    The guide replied: "Some tribes eat pond salt, and some tribes eat earth salt. The taste is not good, it is bitter, and it is difficult to get it. Last year, these people tasted the sweetness, and they are waiting to exchange their skins.  Salt."

    Hou Rusong called Zhang TingxunIn the past, he whispered: "If you don't give enough on purpose, let them taste the sweetness first, and then keep their appetites. This is how you deal with the natives. You go to the northern border of Shanxi, Shanxi, and the way there is similar. More than that  To control the amount of salt transport, tea is also controlled. If the Mongolians have no tea, strange problems will appear, and tea is the lifeblood of the Mongolians."

    Zhang Tingxun asked curiously: "How to prevent merchants from transporting more tea?"

    "The Great Wall," Hou Rusong explained in detail, "there are many parts of the Great Wall, only low side walls were built, and those side walls can't stop the army. It has two functions. One is to delay the Mongolian cavalry, so that the beacon tower can pass  The second is to prevent merchants from smuggling. Merchants dare not destroy the side wall, and the transportation team will not be able to get through."quot;

    The main purpose of the low and fragile Great Wall is to guard against merchants, and it can only slow down the Mongols!

    In dealing with nomads in the Han Dynasty, one of the major killers was economic downsizing. Inter-market trade was stopped, and the export of salt, tea, ironware, and grain was prohibited, and the Great Wall was a supporting facility for the embargo of materials. As long as the frontier army did not leave a back door for smuggling, this  Such an embargo can drive nomads mad.

    It's a pity that in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, every time the court ordered an embargo, it was giving the frontier army a chance to make a fortune.

    Zhang Tingxun came to his senses in an instant, slapped his head and said: "I remember, the strategy chapter of "On War" talked about this, and the types of embargoed goods are still compulsory."

    The next day, we continued to move forward, sailed for sixty miles, and finally arrived at Hailanpao.

    It is obviously much more lively here, and the garrison has increased to 1,500. After Yaksa is defeated, 1,000 people will be stationed. Yaksa is the real strategic location.

    The north-south tributary of Yakesa can control the indigenous tribes in the depths of Eda Xing’an Mountains. The southwest tributary can go straight to the Hulun Buir Grassland, and Mobei Mongolia is right in front of you. The west-facing river can lead to Nerchinsk,  It is very close to Lake Baikal when you arrive at Nerchinsk.

    Still far away from Hailanpao, Zhang Tingxun saw a lot of smoke rising. "This is not like wolf smoke." Zhang Tingxun doubted.

    Hou Rusong explained: "This is the meat that is roasted until it is smoked. Although hunting is generally not done in spring, it is time for wild animals to reproduce. But this year they will definitely send troops, so it doesn't matter so much. The nearby Daur people, as long as they hunt meat,  You can use Hailan to soak it in exchange for cotton cloth. What we transport here is not only ordinary grain, but also baked marching grain."

    Zhang Tingxun nodded and said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. I understand this. By the way, should the food transportation team stay?"

    Hou Rusong said with a smile: "We are a naval force. Since we want to fight Yaksa, of course we need the navy to transport troops and food, and at the critical moment we also have to fight water battles with Raksha ghosts."

    Wang Fuchen had already rode to the riverside, looking at the many ships with joy: "All the Anton navy is here?"

    Hou Rusong replied: "I left three battleships, and the rest are all brought to you. I also brought twenty additional troop carriers. The troop carriers are all newly built, and the wood has not had time to dry in the shade. They are all protected by turpentine, dry ash and tung oil."  Not sinking. You are in a hurry here, and the guard can only make do with the shipbuilding."quot;

    For the warships of the Anton Navy, the wood was transported from Liaoning, and many shipbuilders and apprentices were recruited.

    And these many troop carriers were built by felling trees nearby in the lower reaches of Harbin, and the wood was left in the shade for half a month before starting construction. After several months of use, there will be leaks, and they must be repaired at any time. If they cannot be repaired, they will be declared scrapped.

    This is a manifestation of the strength of a big country. If it were a small country, it would take several years to build ships. When Hou Jin conquered the Daur people, he could only raise a large number of canoes.

    "This is Captain Zhang Tingxun from Nanjing Military Academy." Hou Rusong introduced.

    Zhang Tingxun hurried forward, stood at attention and saluted: "Zhang Tingxun is here to report, please arrange tasks for General Wang!"

    Wang Fuchen was a little puzzled, and when Hou Rusong blinked at him, he immediately understood that Zhang Tingxun's identity was not simple, and immediately praised: "Good boy, quite strong, you have been exhausted all the way, go to the castle to rest first."

    After sending someone to take Zhang Tingxun away, Wang Fuchen asked: "What is this man's background?"

    Hou Rusong said: "The son of Zhang Dudu's family is going to fight at the front line. He is not bad, he is not a dude, and he can share joys and sorrows with the soldiers along the way."

    Wang Fuchen had a headache: "How should I serve? Should I let him stay in Hailanpao?"

    Hou Rusong said: "What the guard means is that you are asked to take him into battle. Except for particularly dangerous battles, where he is absolutely not allowed to participate, he will be treated as an ordinary sergeant at other times. To put it bluntly, if you can  If he dies, he can only blame himself for his bad luck."

    "Understood." Wang Fuchen breathed a sigh of relief. Hou Rusong asked: "When will the troops be dispatched?"

    Wang Fuchen said: "I'm just waiting for your ship. As long as you come, you can send troops at any time. I have been preparing for a full year."

    &quot;What happened to Yaksa?&quot; Hou Rusong asked.

    Wang Fuchen said: "The last time I caught that Khabarov, many Raksha ghosts were killed, and then some Raksha ghosts moved to Yaksa, and they were still desperately gathering food to build castles. Last year, another group of Raksha ghosts came, spies  Come back and say that there are six more cannons installed on the city wall."

    "That's not easy to fight." Hou Rusong was a little worried.

    Wang Fuchen said with a smile: "Don't worry, no matter how much you build the city, the Raksha ghosts don't have many manpower to spare. A few more cannonballs can knock down the city walls. The cannons of the Raksha ghosts are really pitifully small, about the size of a tiger squatting cannon."  Almost. If I didn’t have a ship to transport troops, I would have gone to fight it myself, how could you have a chance to fight?” &quot;&lt;/div&gt;The ship is ready, as long as you come, you can send troops at any time, I have been preparing for a full year."

 Text 848 [Tsarist Russian Nobility]

    ? In the middle and lower reaches of Heilongjiang, since the Manchu Qing continued to take people away, after the Cossacks came, they were still amazed at the wealth here.

    Because they saw that there are farmlands in many places on both sides of the Heilongjiang River, and occasionally Daur cities (villages). This is like a paradise in the desolate and cold Siberia, mainly because it can be cultivated and reproduced.

    However, in history, when the noble generals of Tsarist Russia came to raise (plunder) the food and grass of the army, they were furious by the scene in front of them. On both sides of the middle and lower reaches of the Heilongjiang River, all the farmlands were destroyed, and the villages were all dilapidated. It has reached the point where there is no food to grab  , it was because the previous Cossacks killed too hard.

    Due to the early arrival of the Datong Army, the situation here is much better.

    ? Zhang Tingxun came to the Heilongjiang River Basin by boat, and found that some farmland had been recultivated. According to the transliteration of the local dialect of each tribe, it was compiled as "a certain village", and the leader was appointed as the village head.

    For the time being, there will be no town-level units to prevent a certain department from taking the opportunity to become bigger!

    Hou Rusong pointed to the farmland by the river and said: "In a year or two, when these villages recover, they will be able to collect land taxes from them. Those who can farm will be charged grain as tax, and those who cannot farm will be charged fur tax.  .After a few years, there will be plenty of food, and the military rations will not have to be sent all the way."quot;

    Zhang Tingxun asked: "I see that land can be cultivated everywhere here, why don't more people immigrate to cultivate it?"

    Hou Rusong explained: "We need to eat every bite. Now the focus of immigrants in Northeast China is the Andong Governor's Office (Harbin) and its surrounding areas. Even there, serious immigrants don't want to go. At the beginning, they were forcibly expelled.  There was also some sort of commotion, and the imperial court could only throw the criminals here. Didn’t Nanjing catch gambling fiercely?”

    Zhang Tingxun nodded: "Last year, I often caught gambling, and the owner of the casino was thugs. I heard that they were all sentenced to exile, and their wives and children were also exiled together."

    "That's right, Li Duhu (Li Zheng) requested it," Hou Rusong said with a smile, "to arrest people from all over the country and escort the exiles to Heilongjiang in batches, it takes 30,000 to 40,000 people in three years.  When the population of the Protectorate's Mansion is full, the exiles will be placed near the post station. Around the post station along the river, Han villages will be built one by one, and they will be upgraded to villages and towns in the future. They will definitely be able to deter and subdue the surrounding indigenous people. This is the imperial court's plan to open up the Northeast  , don’t worry, take your time, we are all here to fight the front station. As long as the postmen you met don’t freeze to death and die of illness, they will definitely be the mayor of the town in the future. Not only manage the Han people, but also rule the surrounding tribes of the town.”quot  ;

    The Northeast is not a colony, it is developed as a local area. &quot;Thank you, General Hou, for clarifying the confusion.&quot; Zhang Tingxun cupped his hands.

    These were all arranged by Li Zheng to let Zhang Tingxun get familiar with the situation along the way, and let Hou Rusong explain anything he didn't understand.

    Hou Rusong continued: "As long as it is not a Raksha ghost, basically anyone you meet here can ask them to help. In case of an emergency, go to the nearest indigenous tribe, whether it is Daur or other tribes, they will help you."  They are all willing to gather troops to help, because they all have blood feud with Rakshasa ghost."quot;

    "Understood." Zhang Tingxun nodded.

    Historically, the Daur people were bullied so badly by the Manchus, but when they faced the Cossack bandits, they all felt that the Manqings were their own.

    Without him, the Cossacks are too cruel!

    Hou Rusong pointed to the shore in front of him: "There used to be a big village there, where the royal relatives of the Jianzhou Tartars lived. The Raksha ghosts took advantage of the village owner's going out to eat wedding wine, and attacked and captured the village before they had time to escape."  They were all killed, and afterwards they burned the stockade with a fire. The people of this tribe died of hunger and cold in winter. Now, the Duhu Mansion has built a post station with the remaining stockade, which is named according to the local dialect.  Aihui station'. This is the nearest post station to Hailanpao, sixty miles north is Hailanpao."

    The land around Aihui Station is fertile, and it is adjacent to the strategically important Hailanpao. This will definitely be a key development village in the future, and it is estimated that it will become Aihui Town in another 20 years.

    It was getting late, and the grain transportation team chose to rest on the shore.

    The Daur people who originally settled in Aihui only returned two or three hundred one after another, and many of them died due to lack of clothing and food. They lived around the post station, and regarded the post office and post soldiers as protectors.  The team came and offered to help unload the goods.

    There was a lot of chatter, and Zhang Tingxun asked the army guide: "What are they talking about?"

    The guide explained: "These Daur people are asking merchants when they will bring salt. The salt stored in the post station is not enough, and they have not been traded to them. Now they are all looking forward to Han merchants."

    &quot;What kind of salt did they eat before?&quot; Zhang Tingxun asked.

    The guide replied: "Some tribes eat pond salt, and some tribes eat earth salt. The taste is not good, it is bitter, and it is difficult to get it. Last year, these people tasted the sweetness, and they are waiting to exchange their skins.  Salt."

    Hou Rusong called Zhang Tingxun?Go, said in a low voice: "If you don't give enough on purpose, let them taste the sweetness first, and then continue to whet their appetite. This is how you deal with the natives. You go to the northern border of Shanxi, Shanxi, and the way there is similar.  Not only to control the amount of salt, but also to control the tea. If the Mongols have no tea, strange problems will appear, and tea is the lifeblood of the Mongols.”

    Zhang Tingxun asked curiously: "How to prevent merchants from transporting more tea?"

    "The Great Wall," Hou Rusong explained in detail, "there are many parts of the Great Wall, only low side walls were built, and those side walls can't stop the army. It has two functions. One is to delay the Mongolian cavalry, so that the beacon tower can pass  The second is to prevent merchants from smuggling. Merchants dare not destroy the side wall, and the transportation team will not be able to get through."quot;

    The main purpose of the low and fragile Great Wall is to guard against merchants, and it can only slow down the Mongols!

    In dealing with nomads in the Han Dynasty, one of the major killers was economic downsizing. The mutual trade was stopped, the export of salt, tea, ironware and grain was prohibited, and the Great Wall was a supporting facility for the material embargo. As long as the frontier army did not leave a back door for smuggling, this embargo  Can drive nomads crazy.

    It's a pity that in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, every time the court ordered an embargo, it was giving the frontier army a chance to make a fortune.

    Zhang Tingxun came to his senses in an instant, slapped his head and said: "I remember, the strategy chapter of "On War" talked about this, and the types of embargoed goods are still compulsory."

    The next day, we continued to move forward, sailed for sixty miles, and finally arrived at Hailanpao.

    It is obviously much more lively here, and the garrison has increased to 1,500. After Yaksa is defeated, 1,000 people will be stationed. Yaksa is the real strategic location.

    The north-south tributary of Yakesa can control the indigenous tribes in the depths of Eda Xing’an Mountains. The southwest tributary can go straight to the Hulun Buir Grassland, and Mobei Mongolia is right in front of you. The west-facing river can lead to Nerchinsk,  It is very close to Lake Baikal when you arrive at Nerchinsk.

    Still far away from Hailanpao, Zhang Tingxun saw a lot of smoke rising. "This is not like wolf smoke." Zhang Tingxun doubted.

    Hou Rusong explained: "This is the meat that is roasted until it is smoked. Although hunting is generally not done in spring, it is time for wild animals to reproduce. But this year they will definitely send troops, so it doesn't matter so much. The nearby Daur people, as long as they hunt meat,  You can use Hailan to soak it in exchange for cotton cloth. What we transport here is not only ordinary grain, but also baked marching grain."

    Zhang Tingxun nodded and said: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass go first. I understand this. By the way, should the food transportation team stay?"

    Hou Rusong said with a smile: "We are a naval force. Since we want to fight Yaksa, of course we need the navy to transport troops and food, and at the critical moment we also have to fight water battles with Raksha ghosts."

    Wang Fuchen had already rode to the riverside, looking at the many ships with joy: "All the Anton navy is here?"

    Hou Rusong replied: "I left three warships, and the rest are all brought to you. I also brought twenty additional troop carriers. The troop carriers are all newly built, and the wood has not had time to dry in the shade. They are all protected by turpentine dry ash and tung oil."  Shen. You are in a hurry here, and the guard can only make do with the shipbuilding."quot;

    For the warships of the Anton Navy, the wood was transported from Liaoning, and many shipbuilders and apprentices were recruited.

    And these many troop carriers were built by felling trees nearby in the lower reaches of Harbin, and the wood was left in the shade for half a month before starting construction. After several months of use, there will be leaks, and they must be repaired at any time. If they cannot be repaired, they will be declared scrapped.

    This is a manifestation of the strength of a big country. If it were a small country, it would take several years to build ships. When Hou Jin conquered the Daur people, he could only raise a large number of canoes.

    "This is Captain Zhang Tingxun from Nanjing Military Academy." Hou Rusong introduced.

    Zhang Tingxun hurried forward, stood at attention and saluted: "Zhang Tingxun is here to report, please arrange tasks for General Wang!"

    Wang Fuchen was a little puzzled, and when Hou Rusong blinked at him, he immediately understood that Zhang Tingxun's identity was not simple, and immediately praised: "Good boy, quite strong, you have been exhausted all the way, go to the castle to rest first."

    After sending someone to take Zhang Tingxun away, Wang Fuchen asked: "What is this man's background?"

    Hou Rusong said: "The son of Zhang Dudu's family is going to fight at the front line. He is not bad, he is not a dude, and he can share joys and sorrows with the soldiers along the way."

    Wang Fuchen had a headache: "How should I serve? Should I let him stay in Hailanpao?"

    Hou Rusong said: "What the guard means is that you are asked to take him into battle. Except for particularly dangerous battles, where he is absolutely not allowed to participate, he will be treated as an ordinary sergeant at other times. To put it bluntly, if you can  If he dies, he can only blame himself for his bad luck."

    "Understood." Wang Fuchen breathed a sigh of relief. Hou Rusong asked: "When will the troops be dispatched?"

    Wang Fuchen said: "I'm just waiting for your ship. As long as you come, you can send troops at any time. I have been preparing for a full year."

    &quot;What happened to Yaksa?&quot; Hou Rusong asked.

    Wang Fuchen said: "The last time I caught that Khabarov, many Raksha ghosts were killed, and then some Raksha ghosts moved to Yaksa, and they were still desperately gathering food to build castles. Last year, another group of Raksha ghosts came, spies  Come back and say that there are six more cannons installed on the city wall."

    "That's not easy to fight." Hou Rusong was a little worried.

    Wang Fuchen smiled and said: "Don't worry,

    The west, south, and east of Yaksa are all rivers, swamps, and sandbars, so the key defensive area should be in the north.

    However, the Datong Army is completely unreasonable.

    Land directly on the back of the sandbar in the southwest, use the cover of the woods to move the artillery, and build an artillery position to attack Yaksa across the river.

    There are three rivers converging here, and there are many tributaries. The water network is extremely complicated, and the river channel is also narrowed by densely packed sandbars. Many sandbars can deploy artillery positions to attack the city.

    Khabarov is very obedient after surrendering. Facing Chinese civil and military officials, no matter what level he is, he looks like a grandson, wishing to kneel down and kiss the boots of the old men.

    At this moment, he was wearing a cotton armor outside and a silk coat given by the emperor inside. He pointed to the castle and said, "I built the castle. This sandbar is the best artillery position. After the upper river channel is blocked, in the northeast and northwest  , each has a river valley where you can escape, and you must send troops to intercept them to prevent the damned Cossack robbers from escaping at night.”

    "Very good, if you win this battle, I will credit you with credit." Wang Fuchen praised.

    ?Because they were afraid of bewildering the snake, the spies sent by the Datong Army could only use binoculars to observe from a distance across the river. They really didn't know that there were two river valleys to the north.

    Khabarov quickly said: "They are all serving the country, and I dare not take credit. General, after our army bombards me, I can go over and shout, and I will surely instigate some Cossack robbers."

    Wang Fuchen said coldly: "You still want to save your former subordinates?"

    "It's not to save them," Khabarov was really dark-hearted, and he even explained, "The Cossack robbers don't have much food. They must be bombarded first and then besieged. At this time, I went to shout, and someone  If you think you can survive, there will definitely be internal strife. If you can lure them to surrender, it’s best to disarm them and kill them all. Even if you can’t lure them to surrender, you can take advantage of the chaos to attack the city.”

    Wang Fuchen said: "Here in the Datong Army, there is no such thing as inducing surrender. Surrender is surrender, and the meritorious service will be judged according to the situation. They will not go back on their promises. They will kill people after they surrender."

    &quot;Yes, yes, I was wrong.&quot; Khabarov quickly admitted his mistake.

    Due to the small size of the warships of the Anton Navy, and the small caliber of the shipboard guns, they are not very powerful when attacking the city walls.

    However, there are still a few city defense guns!

    This thing belongs to the big guys, and it will be installed on the city wall after Yaksa is captured. At this moment, it is directly deployed on the sandbar to attack the city.

    One after another, the troop carriers followed the naval battleships, bypassed large and small sandbars, and went directly upstream to block the enemy's retreat.

    Standing on the city wall, Stepanov fell into despair when he saw that the upstream river was blocked. Their main force was the Cossacks. Their usual tactic was to run away if they could not win, and then look for various opportunities to sneak attack. Now they are blocked.  What can I do if I die?

    Damn the aristocratic generals, all his mother's blind commands!

    At this time, Zhang Tingxun followed a sentinel leader and went to land a few miles upstream, with the goal of blocking the river valley that Khabarov told.

    In addition to this Datong army, there are more than 200 aborigines.

    Most of these native soldiers belong to the Daur people, and a small part come from the Sauron, Sahalian and other tribes. According to the names hundreds of years later, they are Daur, Oroqen, Ewenki, Hezhen and so on.

    Bringing the native soldiers is not to support the scene.

    One is to help with physical labor as an auxiliary soldier, and the other is to let them see with their own eyes how the Datong Army killed Rakshasa ghosts, showing off the super strength of the Datong Army.

    The whistle chief was named Peng Chunlin. After he led his troops to the river valley, he sent some soldiers to investigate the mountains.

    He continued to walk forward with the troops, and explained to Zhang Tingxun as he walked: "This terrain is most suitable for ambushes. We must send a mountain search team to ensure that we will not be ambushed."

    "What Chief Peng said is true." Zhang Tingxun studied humbly, he knew why the other party was like this.

    It is nothing more than that he is a little prince, and Peng Chunlin has an extra task, which is to teach him how to fight in actual combat.

    Peng Chunlin continued: "Our main force is besieging the city. If there are enemy troops fleeing here, they will either flee or break out. At that time, the number of enemies we will face will not be too many, and there will definitely be no enemies."  We will form an array. Choose a relatively narrow place as our ambush point, and win as quickly as possible. The next step is to chase and capture scattered enemies, so when choosing an ambush point, we must predict the collapse  Where will the soldiers flee to?"

    It took half a day to finally select the ambush point.

    Peng Chunlin explained again: "Look here, the river valley is very narrow, and the mountains on both sides are relatively steep. Our army is hiding in the forest. Even if we encounter hundreds of enemies, we may defeat them. If the enemy wants to escape, there is a steep hill ahead.  Slow, it's the best place to climb mountains. Do you know how to do it?"

    Zhang Tingxun said: "Arrange soldiers to ambush?? are foreigners, all of whom are experienced people who have experienced thirty years of war. Russian officers follow behind these foreign officers and learn how to fight as apprentices.

    The huge Tsarist Russian Empire currently has a new standing army of about 30,000, and it is impossible to support it if it wants to continue to expand the army.

    The rest of the Tsarist Russian army is still the same. The high-ranking nobles lead the battle, and the nobles at all levels bring their own dry food to participate. If the number of ordinary soldiers is insufficient, they will recruit serfs during the war and disband on the spot after the battle. There is no need to pay the army.  Looking at the army of 100,000 to 200,000, it is all serfs as far as the eye can see, and its combat effectiveness is similar to that of the peasant uprising army in China, and it is also the kind of peasant army that has just rebelled.

    However, with the colonization of Siberia and the acquisition of a large amount of fur in exchange for gold and silver, in more than 20 years, Tsarist Russia's new standing army will reach 59,000. This is the foundation for Tsarist Russia to continue to expand, stained with the blood of Siberia's natives.

    And in this time and space, Tsarist Russia may not be so smooth.

    Zinoviev's thinking on war still stays in the era of aristocrats and serfs, at most it is on the edge of the Thirty Years' War.

    He didn't take the Datong Army seriously at first, it was just a few dozen warships, with at most a few cannons. Even if the Datong Army killed thousands of people, the main force would be four or five hundred dead, and the rest would be serfs and indigenous servants  .If this is the case, he is absolutely sure to hold the castle.

    What the hell are dozens of cannons firing together?

    He hasn't seen more than a thousand fully armed Datong Army, otherwise, this guy may have his three views broken.

    After thinking over and over again, Zinoviev found it difficult to hold on, and finally said: "Let's break through tonight. If the breakout goes well, we will lead the Khitans into the mountains and look for opportunities to ambush and attack!"&lt;/div&gt

 Text Chapter 853 Chapter 850【Spicy Meat】

    Chapter 853 850

    "You can't break out upstream!" Stepanov said.

    Beketov added: "You can't go directly to the forest and valley in the north!"

    Escape was the most important thing. Zinoviev ignored the aristocratic airs and humbly asked the two Cossack chiefs: "Then where should we go?"

    "Go east!"

    Stepanov and Beketov said the answer in unison.

    And the east is the direction the Datong Army came from.

    On the east and west sides of Yaksa, the riverside is full of tidal flats overgrown with reeds.  Since it is not yet autumn, it is difficult to burn out a fire, which is very conducive to the sneaking of the defenders in the city.

    On the east side, the terrain is particularly complicated.

    ?Heilongjiang encountered a sharp bend here, and the speed of the water flow was greatly slowed down, and large sandbars and tidal flats were alluvial.  There is also a small river flowing in from the northeast, forming large and small ponds and rivers between the tidal flats and sandbars, and some places even belong to swampy areas.

    If the water rises and then recedes, there will be no shortage of food at all, and a large number of fish will be stranded in the tidal flats, and the second half of the scene of "beating roe deer with a ladle to scoop fish" will appear.

    The Datong army only has more than a thousand people, and it is impossible to surround the castle to death.

    After nightfall, you must return to the camp to guard against the enemy's sneak attack, so that there is a huge gap for a breakout.

    midnight.

    The west gate of the castle opened, and a group of Daur slaves, all gagged, were expelled by the Cossacks.

    Surprised and delighted, the slaves rushed westward in the dark.  After running for a full mile and getting into the reeds, someone tore the rag out of his mouth and shouted excitedly: "The Raksha ghost is gone, the Raksha ghost is gone!"

    In fact, as soon as there was movement in the castle, the sentinel hiding in the reeds on the tidal flat had already rowed to Jiangxinzhou to report the news.

    At this time, he heard the shouts of Daur slaves again, Wang Fuchen said with a smile: "The sound of the east hits the west, and I really want to flee east."

    The Datong Army has Khabarov as a guide and consultant, so how can they not guess what the enemy is thinking?

    They are all Cossack leaders, and they even make the same breakout route.

    But to the east of the castle, five or six Cossack and Siberian hunters carried a small boat, heading straight for the dense reeds.  When encountering ponds or rivers, they put down the boat, rowed for a while, and went ashore to continue carrying the boat.

    "Did the Khitans come after them?" Zinoviev looked back from time to time.

    Stepanov said: "When you get here, you are not afraid of pursuers. There is a lake in front of you. After crossing the lake, you can go north for a short distance to the river."

    ? You can also talk about lakes and ponds. Anyway, the area is not big or small, and they are all formed by the sediment accumulation in Heilongjiang.  Going downstream from Yaksa to the place where Heilongjiang turns to the south, there are dozens of similar ponds of different sizes.

    With such a complex terrain and reeds everywhere, it is impossible for the Datong Army to send troops to pursue it.  One is that it is difficult to find the enemy, the other is that it is easy to be sniped, and the third is that it is possible to stray into the swamp.

    No need to chase, just block the key exit!

    It is impossible for these Rakshasa ghosts to hide in the reeds all the time.  Either choose to continue to the east, regardless of the consequences, go to the lower reaches of Heilongjiang, wherever you grab it, there is almost no possibility of returning to Nerchinsk.  Either go out of the reeds and head north, where there are two river valleys, get into the ravine to play by ear, and maybe go around and go upstream back to Nerchinsk.

    Leaving the reed marsh, the Cossack carried the boat and ran northward, but he still didn't hear the pursuit.

    Finally, they saw a small river flowing from the mountains in the north, and then turned sharply to run parallel to the Heilongjiang River.

    They didn't bring any larger boats, and each of the small boats they carried with them could only hold more than ten people.  Moreover, all the redundant parts have been dismantled, and the speed of running is very fast when it is lifted up, and it can be quickly rowed away by throwing it into a small river.

    This is the core method of the Cossacks. Relying on such convenient ships, they have been wreaking havoc from the Don River Basin to Heilongjiang.

    Going north along the small river, when it was about to enter the valley, the sky was almost bright.

    Beketov looked at the entrance of the dark valley, frowned and said: "It's not right, why didn't the Khitans come after them? Even if they didn't come after them, there should be some movement."

    Stepanov asked: "You mean, there are enemies in the valley ahead?"

    "Very likely." Beketov nodded.

    Zinoviev was a little unbelieving: "Could the Khitan know divination? How could they set up an ambush in front of us in advance."

    Beketov said: "I have been exploring in Siberia for almost ten years, and I have an intuition about the danger. There must be an ambush in the valley ahead!"

    Stepanov said: "??And others turned a blind eye to it.

    When the Cossacks left, only a pile of bones, sewage and blood remained on the ground.

    Well, I didn't eat my head either.

    Continuing to march for a day, they found an indigenous village, raided and captured more than 30 people, all of whom were killed and ate their fill.

    A few days later, of the more than 800 Cossacks and Siberian hunters, there were only more than 700 left when they came out of the mountain.

    Even if the Datong Army doesn't come to intercept them, when these guys return to Nerchinsk, only half of them will be left.

    Zinoviev is already in a trance

    ?, as a nobleman, he never thought that he could eat people.  But I was so hungry that I stuffed food into my mouth, and when I was full, I started to be afraid. At night, I could dream of ghosts claiming my life.

    Crazy, these Cossacks are all crazy!

    He didn't want to be the general manager of Heilongjiang anymore, he just wanted to return to Nerchinsk early, and then went to Moscow on the grounds of recuperating.

    This is a broken place, whoever loves it will come, Zinoviev vowed never to set foot in Siberia again.

    "My lord, cross the valley in front of you and continue to the north, and the mountains will be gentle. If you cross a low mountain range, you will see a large flat land, and the villages there must have food." Stepanov said.

    Zinoviev nodded quickly: "Before returning to Nerchinsk, everything will be arranged by you."

    What steward, what nobleman, his identity has been forgotten, and Zinoviev is afraid when he sees a Cossack.

    But when he got to the river valley, he was finally able to slow down.

    Because some Cossacks actually carry fishing nets with them, they can get some fish to satisfy their hunger, so the noble lord can stop eating human flesh for the time being.

    Two days later, hundreds of Rakshasa ghosts had already lurked to the outskirts of the village.

    Zhang Tingxun is in the village, and he is almost impatient to wait.

 Text Chapter 854 Chapter 851 [Waiting for a rabbit]

    Chapter 854 851

    For the main general Wang Fuchen, it doesn't really matter whether those Cossacks can be eliminated.

    It is very simple to deal with the Cossacks, at least in the Xing'an Mountains area.  That is to capture the Cossack castle along the river, and garrison troops in the castle to reclaim it, and push it step by step.

    In this way, the living space of the Cossacks can be compressed, and it can also provide a stronghold for Han immigrants.

    As for the Nerchinsk, no one wants to fight.

    It's too far away, and the Datong Army doesn't eat people, so the logistical pressure is too great.

    Keep the Cossacks in Nerchinsk and continue to harm the Buryats. No matter how many deaths there are, it will not matter to the Datong Army.

    The Yaksa area is already the limit of the power projection of the Central Plains Dynasty.  Historically, the Manchu Qing could only fight here, and then signed the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" with Tsarist Russia.

    It is better to attack Nerchinsk from Yaksa than to send troops from Hulunbuir.  Of course, it is best to be able to send troops from both routes at the same time.

    The plan formulated by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion is as follows:

    The Anton Governor's Mansion dispatched a partial division, that is, people like Wang Fuchen, to lay down Yaksa as a stronghold first, immigrate to open up wasteland, and manage the aborigines.  The Rao Le Duhu Mansion consolidated the Horqin Grassland and the Xilin Gol Grassland.  About three years later, troops were sent from Xilingrad to conquer the Hulun Buir Grassland occupied by Khalkha Mongols.  Then, the two sides advanced side by side and attacked Nerchinsk.  Then captured Chita, as a bridgehead to recover Lake Baikal.

    In addition, before attacking Nerchinsk, troops must be dispatched from Hailanpao, go north along the Jingqili River, enter the Lena River and go straight to Yakutsk.  As long as Yakutsk is pulled out, from Lake Baikal to the Bering Strait, the Cossacks no longer have a stronghold, and the entire north of the Xing'an Mountains to the Arctic Circle is Chinese territory.

    If Wang Fuchen hastily captured Nerchinsk, he could only garrison a small number of troops due to logistical difficulties, and he would inevitably suffer endless harassment from the Cossacks.

    Therefore, at the moment when the Cossacks abandoned the city and fled, Wang Fuchen had already achieved his strategic goal.

    The rest is to keep as few dead as possible. There is too much shortage of soldiers here. I would rather let the Cossacks go than fight in the reed marshes, let alone chase them into the mountains and forests.  If Zhang Tingxun's sidelines were unsuccessful, they would withdraw their troops and let the Raksha ghosts flee back to Nerchinsk.

    Unexpectedly, the Raksha ghost really hit the door.

    But it is also reasonable, those guys want to go back, they must find the village to grab food, and the largest nearby village is there.

    "I'm coming!"

    Zhang Tingxun hid behind the house and observed the situation with binoculars.

    This telescope was brought from Nanjing by him, and it is definitely impossible for him to distribute it at his level.

    ?For the first time on the battlefield, Zhang Tingxun was not afraid, but excited all over his body.  He kept in mind the rules he learned in the military academy, and kept looking at his immediate commander (postmaster).  The sentry commander Peng Chunlin was looking at the command flag of the battalion commander.

    The flag was waved, and Peng Chunlin also raised his hand

    "kill!"

    At this time, the Daur warriors hiding in the village, who did not know which tribe they came from, couldn't help but shoot arrows outside ahead of time.

    Officers at all levels of the Datong Army were instantly speechless.

    Thousands of exhortations and ten thousand instructions, everything must be obeyed, but at critical times, they still mess up.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The Datong Army could only shoot along, although the enemy hadn't entered the best position yet.

    "There is an ambush!"

    When Zinoviev heard the gunshots, he turned and fled in fright.

    The rest of the Cossacks and Siberian archers were tired, sleepy and hungry at this time. They thought they would be able to grab food immediately, but they were met with bullets and arrows.  Where do they still have the will to fight?  Even the boat ignored it, turned around in a panic and fled.

    Without a boat, even if all these people escaped, they would never return to Nerchinsk alive. 100% of them would die of illness and starvation on the way.

    When the battle has reached this point, it doesn't matter if you chase him or not.

    Zhang Tingxun was proud of being a sharpshooter in the military academy, but this shot missed the enemy at all, so he had no time to reload, so he asked Peng Chunlin: "Chief post, do you want to"

    "Chasing the enemy!"

    Peng Chunlin drew his sword and rushed out.

    Zhang Tingxun immediately shut up when he heard the words, put down the flintlock gun in his hand, drew his waist knife and rushed out of the village.

    This guy is as strong as a calf, and he runs fast when chasing the enemy.

    ? Although the Datong Army wore cotton armor, its load far exceeded that of the Cossacks.  But those Cossacks were exhausted physically, and they could still explode their potential at the beginning of their escape, and their speed became slower and slower as they ran.

    "kill!"

    In the woods to the northwest,; When the Datong army increased to five people, they shouted: "Kill!"

    Zhang Tingxun immediately slashed out with a knife, killing one with one knife, and severely wounding the other with the second knife.  Seriously injured, he didn't care about it and rushed to the next target. The Cossack who was not attacked was frightened and ran for his life.

    Zhang Tingxun continued to chase madly, and hacked another person to death a few minutes later.

    Collecting the corpses after the war, Cossack and Siberian hunters were chased and beheaded 572 people.

    There must have been escaped, but very few.

    In the continuous Outer Xing'an Mountains, they were either eaten by wild animals, starved to death due to lack of food, or died of

    The hands of the natives in the mountains.

    Just talk about the fort expert Beketov, this guy ran so fast all the way, he actually got rid of the pursuit.  But he was tired and hungry, and it was difficult for him to walk. That night, he met a Siberian tiger

    Yaxa.

    When Wang Fuchen received the news, he said to Hou Rusong: "This victory is too fast, and there is more than enough food and grass. Why don't we fight again?"

    Hou Rusong said: "You can't go to Chita, the order from the guard is to go west to Yaksa at most."

    Nerchinsk was a castle built last year. Neither the imperial court nor the Anton Protectorate knew about it. They thought that the nearest Tsarist Russian stronghold to the west was Chita.

    But no matter Nerchinsk or Chita, the distance is too far, and it is close to the fortresses around Lake Baikal.  It is easy to fight down, difficult to defend, and difficult to logistics.

    "Then go back to Hailanpao first, and go north to fight Yakutsk!" Wang Fuchen said.

    Yakutsk is the only stronghold of Tsarist Russia in the Far East today.

    As long as the land of about 4.6 million square kilometers is taken there, only the local aborigines will be left to live.

    Hou Rusong said: "The attack on Yakutsk can't be like this time, and the enemy discovered it in advance. I heard from that Khabarov that there is very little food in Yakutsk, there are few Raksha ghosts there, and the city wall is well built."  Very simple. Blow through the city wall and immediately attack the city. The enemy cannot break through, and no one will be left there if killed!?

 Text 852 [Rush for three thousand miles]

    "It's summer, and you still need to bring a padded jacket on board?" Wang Fuchen was surprised, even though he had already spent a cold winter in Hailanpao.

    Khabarov bent his body and replied respectfully: "General, the summer in Yakutsk is very short, and then the temperature will drop sharply."

    "How much did it drop?"

    Wang Fuchen really can't imagine that there is any place that can be colder than Hailan bubble.

    Khabarov said: "Compared with Yakutsk, Hailanpao can be said to be like spring all the year round."

    As soon as these words came out, Wang Fuchen was speechless for a moment, and turned to look at Hou Rusong.

    Khabarov, the Cossack leader, performed extremely well in the Battle of Yaksa, and Wang Fuchen no longer dared to underestimate what he said.

    Khabarov continued: "The land in Yakutsk is always frozen, and there are only three or four months to grow food every year. In severe cold years, only two months can be used to grow food every year. Even in  In summer, if you dig two or three feet underground, you will find permafrost. In some places, you can dig one foot down to get permafrost.”

    "What's the purpose of occupying such a broken place?" Wang Fuchen couldn't help complaining.

    The absolute temperature difference in Yakutsk exceeds 100 degrees, the extreme cold weather is more than minus 60 degrees, and the extremely hot weather can be close to 40 degrees.  In midsummer, only the 1-meter-thick frozen soil on the surface can melt, and if you continue to dig down, you will find the permafrost layer.

    Wang Fuchen asked: "Can you farm over there?"

    Khabarov replied: "The farm in Yakutsk was opened up by me, and I also opened up a salt field. But my farm and salt field have been occupied by the damn noble chiefs! Without me, they would not be able to live here.  Farming on frozen soil. General Wang, after capturing Franzbekov, please allow me to kill him personally to avenge him!"

    "Of course." Wang Fuchen said with a smile.

    Khabarov, a guy with bloody hands, also looks different among Cossacks.

    He seldom killed people at first, and even seldom fought wars.  Every time he went to a new place, other Cossacks were busy looking for furs, while he concentrated on cultivating the farm.  By providing food to the Cossacks, the small life can always be nourished, and then the farm is occupied by people.

    Beketov, who was eaten by the Siberian tiger, was also a professional, and was invited to build castles wherever he went.

    Hou Rusong said: "I asked you to draw a map of the river course leading to Yakutsk. Why haven't you drawn it yet?"

    Khabarov quickly explained: "General Hou, it's really not my secret. The river from Hailanpao to Yakutsk is too complicated to draw from memory."

    ?Depart from Hailanpao and go north along the Jingqili River (Jieya River), there are countless forked tributaries along the way, and you have to carry the boat to walk a section of land during the process.

    Such a complicated land and water route was explored by starving more than 40 Cossacks and killing more than 50 people to eat meat.

    These Cossack leaders, not to mention other skills, are like gods in the field of pathfinding and escape.  In other words, those without keen intuition and unlucky luck have all died on the way of exploring and escaping!

    Khabarov's original plan to go south was to build a farm in the Heilongjiang River Basin to provide food for Yakutsk to make money, but he didn't want to go back after he went south.

    Wang Fuchen left 600 people to garrison in Yaksa, another 400 people to garrison in Hailanpao, and the remaining 500 Datong troops all marched towards Yakutsk.

    Not only prepared cotton-padded jackets and quilts, but also loaded all the leather boots with fur on board, leaving them for the soldiers stationed in Yakutsk to spend the winter.  In addition, with many captured Cossack ships, more than 200 small Daur boats were conscripted.

    The native soldiers did not follow, the journey was too far.

    The fleet headed north for more than 200 miles and encountered the first big tributary. Khabarov pointed to the northwest and said, "Go this way!"

    The Anton Navy has graduates from military schools and has been drawing maps along the way.  Because I was in a hurry and didn't have much time to measure, the map drawn must be out of shape, and it can be corrected after a few more visits in the future.

    ?Going northwest for more than 500 miles, I encountered several tributaries during the period, and finally came to the Jieya Reservoir hundreds of years later.

    Of course there is no reservoir at this time, but there is a small lake, and there are many flat areas around the lake that can be cultivated.

    After crossing the lake, the current becomes more turbulent, with towering mountains on both sides.

    Then, abandon the big ship and carry the small boat over the mountain by land, and all the naval warships will stay here to meet them.  Sailors and sailors all helped carry supplies.

    It took six days to walk in the mountainous area with a few kilometers in a straight line, because the artillery had to be moved.  Another few kilometers of flat land, to a tributary of the Aldan River.  The navy officers and soldiers returned to the fleet the same way, and the 500 army moved forward by small boats.

    ?From Hailanpao to Yakutsk,?, don’t have to set up camp, set up guns on the other side of the river and shoot!  "

    Only a dozen or so cannons were brought, all of which were the smallest caliber guns on naval warships for the convenience of climbing over the mountain.

    Line up on the north bank, and concentrate on firing.

    This is where the Aldan River flows into the Lena River. Half of the Datong Army sailed into the Lena River, and Zhang Tingxun and others landed on the north bank of the Aldan River.

    The castle facing the water on both sides was originally designed to guard against indigenous attacks, but now it is bombarded across the river.

    "The north city wall is cracked!"

    Some Cossacks began to exclaim, the city wall cracked directly after being bombarded by the second round.

    Let's put it this way, the castle in Yakutsk was captured by the natives ten years ago, so you can imagine how crudely it was built.

    Not only the shortage of manpower, but also the permafrost.  Every summer, when the land thaws, it is necessary to plunder furs, grow food, and dig soil to build walls.

    The city wall is two rows of wooden fences, filled with soil in the middle, not even the city walls of small Chinese counties.

    There are also bastion structures, which are also extremely crude, and at most they can deal with the local aborigines.

    Franzbekov was almost collapsed by the artillery bombardment, and he yelled, "Where did this enemy come from?"

    Secretary Poyarkov said: "Could it be the Khitans from Amur (Heilongjiang)? I heard that Khabarov was wiped out by the Khitans."

    "How do I know!" Franzbekov said angrily.

    Boyarkov said: "It's better to abandon the city and break through."

    Franzbekov roared: "How to break out? Summer is almost over, and we can't take away food when we break out. Once the temperature drops, even if we break out, we will all freeze to death and starve to death!"

    If you can't break through, you can only stick to it, orsurrender.

    A Cossack leader came and begged: "My lord, the enemy's artillery is too fierce, why don't we surrender."

    "Boom!"

    A gap was blasted out of the north city wall.

    The shelling still didn't stop, pouring shells crazily towards the city wall.  They didn't bring many shells, so they attacked immediately after they finished shooting.

    The Cossacks were also firing back, but firstly, the number was too small, and secondly, the caliber was too small to cause effective damage at all.

    Franzbekov said: "We can't surrender. If we surrender, we will definitely be killed. It's too cold and remote here, and we can't support too many people. We will definitely die after we surrender!"

    "Boom!"

    While speaking, another section of the city wall fell down.

    Zhang Tingxun stood on the other side of the river, excitedly watching the artillery salvo scene.  He missed it in Yaksa, but now he witnessed the whole process. The battlefield is indeed more interesting than the military academy.

    "Aren't we going yet?" Zhang Tingxun asked.

    Peng Chunlin explained: "There are not many gaps in the collapse, and the bombardment must continue, otherwise the casualties will be great."

    "Boom!"

    Clods of soil and sawdust were splashed, and Secretary Poyarkov was directly thrust into his chest by a wooden thorn.

    The bastion is also made of wood mixed with soil. The wall foundation is thick and not easy to collapse, but the bunker structure of the bastion is very fragile.

    Seeing that his secretary was dead, Franzbekov hurriedly withdrew from the bastion in fright.  If he continued, he was either killed by shells or splashed with clods and sawdust.

    Until the bastion in the northwest corner was smashed badly by shells, and the shells were basically consumed, Wang Fuchen said: "Cross the river and attack the city!"

    A large number of small boats quickly crossed the river, and soldiers of the Datong Army jumped onto the shore one after another.

    Zhang Tingxun mixed with the crowd and rushed to the nearest exit.  He was organized into a team of five, and he was not responsible for ascending the city, but entered the castle through the gap to fight in the streets.

    "All withdraw to the south of the castle!" Franzbekov roared.

    Some Siberian hunters have already begun to flee. They are not Cossacks, but Cossacks' henchmen.

    Facing such a terrifying enemy, it doesn't matter whether it will freeze to death or starve to death in winter.  Anyway, let's break through and escape first, if you stay, you will definitely die, and there is still a chance to escape.

    The south gate of the castle was opened by Siberian hunters, and deserters poured out one after another.

    But in the southwest of the castle, the Datong army also landed, the purpose is to intercept the fleeing enemies who abandoned the city.

    Franzbekov gathered the Cossacks and the Hedgehogs in the southeast corner of the castle.  Although this low-ranking nobleman from Tsarist Russia from Germany was completely desperate, he was also aroused to be fierce, and he had to resist stubbornly in a certain death situation.

 Text 853 [Forest Battle]

    (The research information shows that you can go directly to Yakutsk by walking the Jingqili River. Lao Wang was misled by this information. In the last chapter, a book friend mentioned the problem of going forward and backward. Lao Wang carefully looked at the map and found that he had to walk for a while  land.

    This route was not explored by Khabarov either.  It was another Cossack leader who starved to death more than 40 people, ate more than 50 people, and tried his best to explore the route.

    Therefore, the previous chapter was revised. The Datong Army sent 500 troops, and the warships only sailed to the upper reaches of the tributary of the Jingqili River.  Then carry the Cossack boat and Daur boat, walk a certain distance, and sail to another river.  Only a dozen or so cannons were brought, because the land route needed to climb mountains, so it was impossible to bring too many cannons.  )

    Just when Franzbekov was preparing for a bloody battle, a Cossack leader suddenly led his men to escape.

    "Come back quickly, winter is coming, you will die if you escape!"

    Franzbekov cried out anxiously.

    The Cossack leader turned a deaf ear, and even ran faster, and even more Cossacks escaped.

    Franzbekov finally followed suit, shouting as he ran, "Flee to the forest to the south and fight!"

    There are also forests in the tundra.

    Zhang Tingxun followed the troops to chase south, passing through a reclaimed farmland, the ground ahead was covered with moss, and it kept slipping while running.

    The Datong army outflanking in the west had already scattered the hunters who had escaped from Siberia, and attacked the Cossacks who were trying to rush into the forest from the side.

    Franzbekov could only flee to the southeast, entering the forest almost at the same time as the Datong army chasing from the side.

    The Cossack leader who escaped the fastest suddenly brought people back.  It is estimated that they also want to understand that if they do not take away the supplies in the castle, they will starve to death even if they escape successfully.

    All the Siberian hunters ran away, and there were not many Cossacks left, only more than 80 people.

    "boom!"

    Franzbekov fired and then retreated immediately, heading deeper into the forest, where he had to find a chance to reload.

    Hearing the gunshots, the Datong officers all hid behind the tree trunks and moved forward in groups of five covering each other.

    There are fallen leaves under Zhang Tingxun's feet, and moss under the fallen leaves. He feels like he is stepping on a soft carpet.

    "Run, let's go around to the east to outflank!" Peng Chunlin said.

    Several teams of five people lowered their bodies and ran faster. Zhang Tingxun felt his heart beating wildly.

    These Cossacks, after entering the forest, seemed really unwilling to escape, and retreated while shooting.  Their idea is very simple, to lure the Datong army into the woods, and then continue to shoot guerrillas.

    Only in this way, will there be a chance to defeat the Datong army, and then return to the castle to get their own supplies.

    Zhang Tingxun ran for a while, and heard gunshots appearing in the west, which proved that they had succeeded in outflanking, so he gradually moved towards the west.

    The light in the forest is very dark, similar to the evening.

    Franzbekov hurriedly reloaded the ammunition. Seeing that the match was about to burn out, he quickly took out another match and replaced it after igniting it.  Then, he aimed at a shadow that he felt in front of him and shotit missed, the distance was too far, as if he was playing a lottery ticket.

    The gunshots of the Cossacks were chaotic and disorderly. After loading the ammunition, they looked for opportunities to shoot.

    On the side of the Datong Army, there are five people in a team, and at least two people are guaranteed to be loaded at any time.  The division of labor is also very clear, some people explore the way, some people cover, alternately shooting and advancing.  This is a deformed version of the Little Mandarin Duck Formation.

    "Bang bang!"

    Franzbekov shot out with one shot, and immediately received two bullets in return.

    And the Datong soldier who was almost hit by him fell to the ground and rolled, and then ran towards the nearby big tree.

    In this five-member team, one person changed positions to hide, two people shot, and the remaining two took the opportunity to rush forward, each hiding behind the big tree in front.

    Franzbekov was also lucky, and both bullets missed him.  This guy ran with his waist down, trying to escape further, and then reloaded and shot coldly.

    "There are gunshots ahead, which tree should he be hiding behind?"

    "I'll fire the gun first, you guys watch."

    Zhang Tingxun's team of five has already discussed the division of labor.

    A "bang" shot fired immediately frightened the Cossacks in front, leaving the hiding place and running back.

    It has already worked to scare the snake away.

    "Bang, bang!"

    The two soldiers of Datong found the enemy and immediately raised their guns to shoot.

    Although all the shots went wrong, Zhang Tingxun and another comrade-in-arms took the opportunity to catch up.

    It's getting close, Zhang TingDecapitation is used to discuss military exploits.  For a team of five like this, the combat achievements belong to the collective.  Only for particularly important achievements, will someone be rewarded additionally after collective credit.

    The next battle is none of Zhang Tingxun's business.

    Enemies that can be wiped out have been wiped out by friendly forces.  It is impossible to count exactly how many escaped, but most of them would freeze to death and starve to death anyway.

    Drag the enemy's corpses out of the forest to count, and the bugle sounds to gather troops to prevent soldiers from getting lost in the forest.

    According to the final statistics, 68 Cossacks were killed and 3 were captured alive.  The Siberian hunter who escaped first was beheaded 102 people and captured 35 people alive.

    "The captives are all killed," Wang Fuchen pointed at Franzbekov, "this one stays first."

    Although Franzbekov couldn't understand, he saw the captives being led to the river and fell down one after another with bayonets, and he was so frightened that he yelled and screamed.

    When Khabarov heard that the military and political chief was captured alive, he dug out the silk gifted by the emperor and swaggered past it on the outside of the padded jacket: "Master, we meet again."

    "Khabarov?"

    Franzbekov was delighted at first, then terrified.  He has a big grudge against Khabarov, because he occupied Khabarov's farm and forced Khabarov to leave.

    Khabarov stretched his legs and raised his hand again: "See, this is a reward from the Khitan Emperor. I have also been to the capital of Khitan. The city walls are so high that there are more than one million residents in the city. It is everywhere.  Exquisite porcelain, and the price is very cheap. There are also a variety of fine wines, and the people there drink and sleep every day"

    Wang Fuchen felt something was wrong and asked, "Are you asking?"

    "General Wang, I'm getting military information." Khabarov replied humbly.

    "Hurry up, don't dawdle." Wang Fuchen urged.

    Khabarov immediately reprimanded: "You damn guy, quickly tell me the latest situation. Has the Cossack built any new castle? They said they want to build a city by the sea, have they built it?"

    Franzbekov replied: "No, the farthest is here. Master Khabarov, can you say something kindly, if I can live, I will definitely repay your kindness."

    Khabarov said angrily: "Don't you envy me wearing such expensive silk clothes? Even the nobles of the Moscow palace may not be able to afford them!"

    Franzbekov hurriedly said: "Great Lord Khabarov, you are more noble than the nobles of Moscow in this silk dress. I have never met His Majesty the Tsar, but I know that even the Tsar is not  will be more noble than you."

    "You occupied my farm and forced me away from here, do you regret it now?" Khabarov asked.

    Franzbekov crawled forward on his knees: "I regret it very much, Mr. Khabarov, please allow me to kiss your boots."

    Standing there, Khabarov really let the other party kiss his boots, as if he had reached the pinnacle of his life in an instant.

    He enjoyed it for a while, bowed and said to Wang Fuchen: "General Wang, the Cossack robbers, did not build a new castle here."

    Wang Fuchen nodded and said, "Okay, let's drag it down and kill it, and I'll let you do it yourself."

    Franzbekov's furs were all taken off, not only him, but the cotton and leather clothes of other Cossacks were taken off as living supplies.

    "Don't kill me, don't kill me!"

    Franzbekov, who had been stripped naked, was already aware of his end, struggling and screaming frantically.

    Khabarov pulled out his waist knife and stabbed it fiercely, feeling indescribably happy in his heart.

    Wang Fuchen ordered: "Leave 50 people to garrison here, and send their wives here next year. If you sign up voluntarily, your military salary will be doubled!"

 Text 854 [Drawing lots to garrison]

    "No one stays voluntarily, so we have to think of other ways." The missionary officer Jia Shi once said.

    Wang Fuchen pondered for a long time: "It's better to draw lots to decide, and the ones who are drawn will stay. Of course, they can't stay here all the time, and they will rotate in two to three years."

    Jia Shi once said: "I heard from Khabarov that people are more likely to die here than in Hailanpao. When we stationed in Hailanpao, we had to consult the local aborigines to adapt to the winter in Hailanpao. We need to accumulate experience here, so  When you switch defenses, you can’t change them all at once.”

    Wang Fuchen said: "There are 60 soldiers in the garrison, and 20 people are replaced every year. Food is transported from Hailanpao every year, and 20 soldiers are brought along to change defenses. Twenty new soldiers accumulate experience with forty veterans. So  , Sixty garrisons can be replaced in three years, and the survival experience of new garrisons can also be guaranteed.”

    "Yes." Jia Shizeng nodded.

    Wang Fuchen also said: "Since the change is completed every three years, there is no need to bring the wives of the soldiers. If they become pregnant, many babies will die."

    Hailanpao and Yakesa's Datong Army are all unmarried or widowed.  They married an indigenous woman from Heilongjiang, and they have already settled down in the Heilongjiang River Basin. If they have to change defenses every year, then there is really no need to bring their wives to Yakutsk.  "

    Only the Cossacks had such a miserable life in Tsarist Russia that they ran to places with ice and snow, and even established strongholds on the permafrost.

    Allowing the Datong Army to settle in Yakutsk is simply tantamount to exile, which is difficult to accept emotionally and rationally.

    Jia Shi once said: "You can ask the imperial court to exile some serious criminals. Those who commit heinous crimes and must die are not even eligible to be exiled to Heilongjiang. In the future, they can choose to be exiled to Yakutsk. It doesn't take too much, Yaku  Cike can maintain dozens of Han people.”

    "Although many people may die, after a few decades, the Han people here should be able to multiply to hundreds or even thousands." Wang Fuchen agreed with this.

    After the two discussed, they called the soldiers to draw lots.

    Before no one signed up to stay voluntarily, they heard that the lottery was decided, and no one had any objections.  Counting military officers and civil servants, more than 500 troops were dispatched this time, and only 60 people were drawn to stay. Those who were drawn could only consider themselves unlucky.

    Wang Fuchen said to the soldiers: "Don't be afraid, next year there will be 20 people who can switch defenses and leave. At that time, a lottery will be drawn to decide who will leave. One of the three will only need to be stationed for one year. I will keep Khabarov  , teach you how to plant the land here, and teach you how to survive the cold here. By the way, some of your Daur wives are already pregnant, and all the soldiers will help take care of them."

    The military clerk brought a pen and paper.

    Cut the paper into small squares, wrote 60 characters of "stay", and all the rest were blank.

    The soldiers lined up to draw lots, and the clerk opened them up to announce the situation on the spot.

    "Miss."

    "Miss."

    "Miss."

    "Keep!"

    ""

    The unlucky one who got the word "stay" did not hang his head down, but smiled wryly at himself.

    "Zhang Tingxun, what team are you in? Get out quickly!" Wang Fuchen yelled suddenly.

    Zhang Tingxun ran out of the line, held his head high, and saluted with crossed arms: "General, I am also in the Datong Army. If I don't participate in the lottery, how can I convince the crowd? From now on, I won't be able to be a man in the army!"

    The rest of the soldiers looked over one after another.

    Wang Fuchen was overwhelmed immediately, and if Zhang Tingxun was not allowed to draw lots, the soldiers would inevitably complain, which would not be conducive to him leading troops in the future.  If Zhang Tingxun wins the lottery, how can he explain to his old boss Li Zheng if he freezes to death and dies here?  And how to explain to the Duke Zhang Tieniu?

    ?Wang Fuchen, who was capable and decisive in commanding the battle, couldn't make up his mind for a while, and turned to look at the missionary officer Jia Shizeng.

    ?The missionary officer focuses on ideological work and considers more things than Wang Fuchen.  Jia Shi thought for a while: "Old Wang, it's impossible not to draw. Once an exception is made, there will be countless people who break the rules in the future. I hope this little prince will not be drawn."

    Wang Fuchen glared at Zhang Tingxun fiercely, and said angrily, "Go to the queue!"

    "Yes!" Zhang Tingxun ran back to his original seat.

    One after another, more than 200 people have drawn lots, but there are only a dozen or so winners, and the chances of winning are getting higher and higher.

    It is very possible that when the paper sign was shaken in the box, many "stay" signs were shaken to the bottom.  Because I wrote 60 characters of "stay", I put it in and shook it all at once.

    Wang Fuchen hurriedly shouted: "Shake it again, the labels are not even."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    All the soldiers laughed when they heard the words, they could all understand Wang Fuchen's difficulties??Disrespect women?  But adapting measures to current conditions and local conditions, nothing is static.

    There were more than a dozen soldiers on the spot, willing to accept the Cossack woman.

    Peng Chunlin asked: "Is there any more? If not, I will assign the remaining women to those slaves as wives."

    After saying this, two more soldiers raised their hands.

    Peng Chunlin nodded and said: "You draw lots, go and choose your wife. Choose the rest of the women, and let them choose their slave husbands."

    The Datong army first selects women, and the remaining women then select slave men.

    Finally, Khabarov announced to the slaves: "You are all free, you can continue to stay here to farm the land, pay some grain as tax every year, and the rest of the grain is your own. If you want to leave, you can leave now.  "

    Go fart!

    The tribe they belonged to has long been nomadic, and now leaving Yakutsk is tantamount to death.

    Selected by a woman to be her husband's slave, she is willing to believe in the Datong Army, and is the first to kneel down to thank her for her kindness.  The rest of the slaves were dubious, but still willing to stay and farm.

    A few days later, the weather became colder and colder, and the night was almost close to zero.

    After half a month, it began to snow.

    When the ground was full of snow, the Datong Army welcomed the first batch of guests.

    More than a dozen reindeer pulled the sled, and there were people and fur on the sled, and they quickly approached the castle.

    These are the natives who came to exchange for hostages. They only appeared after the snow fell, and they came and went like flying on sleds, which can prevent the Cossacks from tracking.

 Text 855 [Female Shaman of the Daily Department]

    According to later Russian sayings, all the indigenous people in the outer Xing'an Mountains and the area to the north are called "Yakuts".

    Yakuts, Yakutsk, it's clear what's going on.

    The aborigines here actually call themselves "Saha people".  After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the Republic of Yakutia was renamed the Republic of Sakha in order to show respect for the indigenous people.

    For a long time, the Sakha and Evenki were often confused.

    One is that the customs and habits of the two ethnic groups influence each other, and the other is that when dividing the ethnic groups, the Sakha people in China are all classified as the Ewenki people, while the Ewenki people in the Soviet Union are all classified as the Yakut people (  Sakha).

    By the way, the word "Tungus" was first called by the Sakha people to the Ewenki people

    According to modern scientific methods, the genetic upstream of the Sakha people was found in the tombs of the Mongolian plateau during the Hun period.

    ?It shows that the ancestors of the Sakha people lived on the Mongolian Plateau in the Han Dynasty.

    Some scholars speculate that its distant ancestors should be Gaoche people.  According to different migration routes, it can also be called Dingling, Tiele, and Chile.  Later, they were integrated into the Huihe Khanate, so some experts said that the Sakha people and the Uighurs belong to the same origin and different streams.

    The language of the Sakha people belongs to the Turkic language family.

    More than two hundred years ago, they still settled in the Lake Baikal area, and were driven to the extremely cold place by Buryat Mongolia.

    So don't think that they are primitive people, others have mastered iron smelting technology!

    At this moment, a Saha female shaman came down from the front deer cart.  She was wearing a thick fur coat, covered with animal skin strips, and a strangely shaped hat with several colorful feathers stuck in it.

    Her name is Vasya Britotian, and she drew out her sharp blade and pointed at the castle: "Go!"

    Pulling a sleigh, the reindeer ran straight to the outside of the city. A soldier shouted: "We are here to redeem the hostages, let them out quickly!"

    Peng Chunlin asked: "What did they say? Can you understand?"

    Khabarov translated: "Redemption of hostages."

    The Sakha celebrate the New Year in summer, and those Cossack robbers also like to row around in summer.  Once the Saha tribe was discovered, they hid during the day and raided at night, not to mention fur and food, and also captured important tribe members as hostages.

    Peng Chunlin said: "Bring out all the hostages and let them identify them."

    The Saha warrior who is in charge of speaking is called Dawa, which means "a mountain that is difficult to climb".  When he saw the gate of the castle opened, he immediately grasped his weapon and was ready to fight at any time.

    Khabarov walked in the front and said, "Come and identify it."

    Dawa saw his clansman at a glance, the only son of the female shaman.  Once the female shaman dies, her son will inherit the position of shaman after practicing for three years to protect the tribe from harm.

    Peng Chunlin said: "Let this person go."

    When the hostage was brought in front of Dawa, Dawa was stunned.  According to the normal process, shouldn't someone go to the shaman to inspect the goods, and the two sides hand over the fur and exchange hostages?

    Khabarov said: "The hateful Rakshasa bandits have been driven away by the great Chinese. From now on, no one will bully you, and the Chinese will be your protectors. This is a gift prepared by the Chinese!"

    Zhang Tingxun came forward with a small jar of salt in his hand.

    Dawa took it subconsciously, dipped his finger in salt and tasted it, and immediately felt like drinking fine wine.

    Get table salt here, either by cooking pool salt or digging rock salt.  No matter what kind it is, it is full of impurities and tastes bitter.  The table salt in front of him was as white as snow and had no peculiar smell.

    Dawa didn't dare to neglect, he carried the hostages and drove the sled back.

    He held up the salt jar, pointed at the castle and talked for a while, already dancing with joy.

    The female shaman Vasya Britotian looked at the Datong Army curiously: "The Chinese drove away the Rakshasa robbers. When they released the hostages, not only did they not ask for furs, but they also gave us snow salt as a gift?"

    "Yes," Dawa said happily, "Chinese people are good people, not bad guys like Rakshasa bandits."

    Vasya Britotian asked her son again: "Do you know what's going on?"

    His son, Kunde, replied: "I was caught here by Rakshasa robbers, and I was locked in a dark room with hostages from other tribes. I could only eat a small bowl of barley porridge every day. One day  , There was the sound of artillery outside, and the Rakshasa bandit was killed. The Chinese didn’t detain me any longer, and asked me to help them repair the castle, and I could barely eat enough every day.”

    "All with me," said Vasya Britotian.

    All the sled team ran to the castle, and the female shaman got off the car and stepped on theIn exchange for furs worth thousands of taels of silver, both parties are very happy. This is a win-win deal.

    Peng Chunlin said: "Next summer, we will still have salt and quilted jackets. We hope that we can continue to exchange items. By the way, there are also cotton cloth and needles and threads. If the quilted jacket is torn, we can mend it."

    "Thanks to the generous Chinese friends, we will come with leather next year." Vasya Britotian, looking forward to the next transaction.

    It didn't snow today, Peng Chunlai wanted to show off his strength and invited a female shaman to watch the soldiers practice.

    Dozens of Datong soldiers stood in the snow-swept open space, shouting in unison and practicing bayonet fighting.

    Vasya Britotian looked at the shining bayonet and stood there thinking.  She knew the weapon, and it could fire bullets that would be irresistible to the strongest Horde warriors.

    These Chinese people are more powerful than the Rakshasa bandits, and they may be able to propose a marriage.

    Sakha people also have surnames, and they cannot marry with the same surname. Marriage between tribes is very common.

    Now, the Chasing Sun Tribe intends to marry the Chinese Tribe.

    Vasya Britotian asked: "Is Chief Peng willing to intermarry with the Sun Rider? We will marry the most beautiful girl in the tribe."

    Peng Chunlin is of course willing to intermarry, but he has already accepted a woman left by a Cossack.  Although it is said that the second one can be accepted, many soldiers here do not have women yet, so I can't do too much.

    Peng Chunlin pointed to Zhang Tingxun who was practicing bayonet with a full stomach: "That is the son of a nobleman in China. Maybe a beautiful girl from the Ministry of Daily Life can marry him."

    Vasya Britotian actually recognized it: "This is the warrior who drank the blood of the deer? We are very satisfied. ?

 Text 856 [Felt for Mammoth Ivory]

    ,

    In Vasia Brittotian's view, if the Chinese choose to marry and cooperate with the Sun-by-Sun Department, they will inevitably turn against the hostile clans of the Sun-by-Sun Department.

    This is a simple value, we are friends, my enemy is your enemy, and your enemy is also my enemy.

    When the Cossacks came here, they were also welcomed by a certain tribe.  They thought the Cossacks were very powerful, so they agreed with the Cossacks to build castles and wanted to form an alliance against other tribes.  By the way, the castle of Yakutsk was built by Beketov who was eaten by Siberian tigers.

    The ending can be imagined, the tribe that befriended the Cossacks was attacked by the Cossacks who had completed the fortification.

    Some tribesmen were brutally killed, some tribesmen were captured as slaves, and the rest of the tribes all fled.

    "Let me lead a mission?" Zhang Tingxun was quite happy. He had long wanted to go out and have a look. Living in the castle all day is really boring.

    Peng Chunlin said: "That female shaman fell in love with you and wanted to betroth a young girl to you. You go and see for yourself. If you like it, you will get married. If you don't like it, you will find reasons to shirk it."

    Zhang Tingxun said: "I have a wife in Nanjing."

    "I know," Peng Chunlin said, "but you are in the Anton Governor's Mansion, and you can't go back for several years. You have to have a woman to take care of you. The court also encourages soldiers to intermarry with other races, and to multiply offspring to enrich the population. You should do it for your majesty and the court."  And take concubines."

    "Let's talk about it later." Zhang Tingxun said perfunctorily.

    At this time, it was only a few degrees below zero. Although there was snow everywhere in the field, it was still a relatively warm month.

    Zhang Tingxun set off with eight soldiers, and Li Jiang, a civil servant, also followed. He was responsible for recording the route along the way.  As for the temperature records in the castle, leave it to Peng Chunlin who can read the thermometer.

    Of course, Khabarov must also go, this guy is currently the only translator.

    The Cossacks left a few reindeer behind, put on the simple sled, and Zhang Tingxun followed the Sakha people to leave.

    "Woohoo!"

    There was light snow in the sky, blowing on his face continuously, Zhang Tingxun felt inexplicably happy.  He likes this feeling, free and unrestrained, far better than the comfort zone in Nanjing.

    Why do you say that the Sakha people are semi-nomadic?

    Because there are very few places suitable for grazing, if a tribe wants to survive and reproduce, it must have at least two fixed pastures.

    One is a summer pasture, the location is biased to the north; the other is a winter pasture, the location is biased to the south.

    ? Summer pastures belong to conventional grazing, just take the livestock to the pasture.  Pastures in winter are more troublesome. Herdsmen need to mow and store grass, and rely on hay for livestock to survive the winter.

    The two fixed pastures are both tribal territories, and once a fight occurs, it often means a war for survival.

    After running in the snow for nine days, I finally came to the winter pasture in the Ministry of Sun.

    There is also snow everywhere here, but the thickness of the snow is not as thick as that of the castle.  There are even some livestock, which were taken out by the herdsmen to dig up the snow and graze by themselves, and they are not afraid of spoiling their stomachs.  The herdsmen next to them are not idle either, they are busy mowing grass and loading their trucks to store fodder for the coming winter.

    The tribe's resident is scattered with tents of all sizes.

    This kind of tent is called "Cuoluozi". It uses branches to form a conical support on the ground, with birch bark as the top in summer and animal skin in winter.

    Each tent is surrounded by wooden fences.  In addition to the wooden fence, there are wider wooden fences.  The herdsmen's livestock are usually kept between two wooden fences, surrounding the tents where they live.

    Once encountering the extremely cold weather of minus 60 degrees, it will inevitably lead to the death of a large number of livestock, because the livestock lack cold protection.

    The Sun-Sun Department is a relatively powerful tribe, because they also raise hundreds of horses.

    Where there are horses, there are cavalry!

    Very few Saha tribes even have "heavy cavalry".  They made the iron armor pieces themselves, and connected them in series with leather cords, thus creating "composite heavy armor".

    These horses are also very peculiar, called "Yakut horses", or "Sahamas".

    With thick skin and long hair, strong limbs, it can withstand the severe cold of tens of degrees below zero.

    The primitive species in the extreme north are smaller in size, similar to Mongolian horses.

    The Yakut horses in the middle are larger in size. The average shoulder height of male horses is 139 cm, and the average shoulder height of mares is 137 cm.

    And the south has become a large breed, the average shoulder height of male horses is 141 cm, and the average shoulder height of mares is 136 cm.

    What Zhang Tingxun saw at this time was the southern species, and the leader of the Chasing Sun Department came to greet him on horseback. The shoulder height of the horse under his crotch was very likely to reach 145 centimeters.  In addition, this horse is thick and full of hair, as if it is riding a monster.

    &nbIt is an ordinary item here, but it will be worth a lot if it is sold in China.  "

    Felt is really the cheapest thing among all woolen goods, but it is very useful, and the Saha people don't have it.

    The Sakha people use many pieces of animal skins to sew together to shield their livestock from the wind and snow.  Think about it, how many animal skins are needed to cover hundreds of deer?

    And a slightly wealthy family has dozens of deer, and the leader Naini has hundreds of deer.

    Trade cheap felt for expensive ivory.  Use cheap cotton-padded jackets for expensive furs.  This business is completely done, and you can get huge wealth without looting like the Cossacks.

    Garrison in Yakutsk will never lose money!

    "Vice Zhang, Vice Zhang" Li Jiang continued to speak, but saw that Zhang Tingxun was distracted.

    He followed Zhang Tingxun's line of sight and saw a few Saha girls walking by with wooden barrels, probably to milk horses or milk.

    These girls are better dressed than ordinary women. They are covered in fur clothes all over their bodies, and there are even mink fur around their necks.

    Zhang Tingxun obviously took a fancy to one of them.

 Text 857 [Unaji]

    ,

    These Sakha people belong to the North Asian race - the East Siberian type.

    Horse face, high skull, small eyes, high cheekbones, narrow forehead.

    There are also some who have flat faces, or simply cannot be distinguished from the Han people.

    ?Modern gene sequencing shows that the y chromosome and o lineage of the Han people account for as high as 80%, which shows that the blood is very unified.  Like Cao Cao's y chromosome, it can basically be determined as o1b1-m268.

    The y chromosome of the Saha people is dominated by the n line, also known as the extreme north gene.  If you want to have a relationship with the Han people, they belonged to a family about 30,000 years ago. Later, the n-type genes moved north and lived in the ice and snow. For example, the Finns are mainly n-type genes.

    ? On the whole, the Sakha people are not in line with Chinese aesthetics, so Zhang Tingxun resisted at first.

    That female shaman has a horse face and high cheekbones.

    As for the girls in front of me, two of them are obviously different in appearance, and it is very likely that they have mixed with the c-line gene.

    The c-lineage genes are also divided into northern and southern branches. The northern branch is mostly Mongolian, Manchu, Hezhen, Xibe, Oroqen, Ewenki, etc., and the southern branch is one of the ancestors of the Han people.  Nearly half of the c-line genes of the Kong surname in Qufu, and many Jiang surnames are also c-line genes. It is estimated that many nobles in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties are c-line genes.

    Zhang Tingxun definitely doesn't understand gene sequencing. He only knows that there is a beautiful girl in front of him, at least among the Saha people.

    Beauty is a comparison.

    Yiga, the son of the tribal leader, rode over and shouted at Zhang Tingxun, "Let's go fishing together."

    Khabarov said: "He asked the little grandfather to go fishing."

    "Okay!" Zhang Tingxun laughed.

    Zhang Tingxun stepped on a Saja horse, and the horse's hooves stepped on the snow, and his movements were relatively slow.  He pointed to the girl in the picture, and asked straightforwardly: "Is she also from the Daily Department?"

    Yiga said: "Her name is Unaji. Her grandfather is from the south. He lost his territory due to tribal wars, and took more than ten people to the Sun-by-Sun Department. Their family is good at finding salt mines, so they have a high status. The Sun-by-Sun Department  We are also happy to accept them.”

    The Lena River Basin is rich in rock salt resources.

    However, due to the existence of permafrost and the lack of technology of the Saha people, obtaining rock salt depends on luck and experience.  Those who are good at finding salt mines must be offered as treasures, and their status is second only to shamans.

    "Has the guest taken a fancy to her?" Yiga said, "But she is not the most beautiful girl in the Daily Department, I can introduce one to the guest. My younger sisters are very beautiful, you saw them yesterday."

    Zhang Tingxun has indeed seen that the chief's daughters all have high cheekbones and big pie faces.

    Zhang Tingxun said: "I just like her like this, she looks very similar to us Chinese."

    Yiga said: "If the guests like it, they can bring wine to her house. If her father is willing to drink the wine brought by the guests, it means that he has agreed to the marriage."

    "Thank you for reminding me." Zhang Tingxun smiled.

    Everyone came to the frozen river, and Yiga led his tribe to dig a hole, and then sat on a wooden barrel to fish.

    Fish is one of the staple foods of the Saha people.

    Followed by venison and beef, especially reindeer.  The more reindeer, the richer it is, just like Mongolians raising sheep.

    Zhang Tingxun is really not the material for fishing, others catch one after another, but his catch is very little.  And he couldn't sit still at all, so he stood up and walked around while fishing, and spent more time admiring the snowy scenery of distant mountains.

    Moreover, Zhang Tingxun doesn't like to eat the fish here.

    The locals eat sashimi, and the seasoning is only rock salt, which doesn't taste very good.

    In the afternoon, the tribe's hunting team returned.  The harvest was not bad, six Mongolian wolves, four silly roe deer, more than twenty snow rabbits, and no one died unexpectedly.

    Zhang Tingxun asked for some kumiss from the leader, and took Khabarov to propose marriage.

    Unaji's family is thriving, his father is still alive, he has married three wives, and has seven brothers and sisters.  At present, they all live together, and several tents have been set up, and they will be separated after their father dies.

    Wu Naji's father's name is Shu He, which means axe.

    Knowing that Zhang Tingxun came to propose marriage, Shu He was very happy. He warmly entertained him and said, "My father is from the south. I heard him talk about it when I was young. In the far south, there is a very powerful tribe.  There’s not enough food to eat.”

    The ghost knows which tribe it is talking about, it probably refers to the Sahalian people in the middle and lower reaches of Heilongjiang.

    But it is definitely not the Jurchen, because the Manchu Qing conquered the upper reaches of Heilongjiang, the Jingqili River and the Outer Xing'an Mountains, which was already a matter of Huang Taiji's time.

    Huang Taiji called all the tribes in the north collectively SauronAfter repeating it many times, he said in a straight voice, "Dagger."

    "Dagger" Unaji repeated.

    The body organs are the first to learn, hair, eyes, ears, noseyou learn it halfway.

    Zhang Tingxun said: "Next year I will ask someone to bring some rouge powder."

    Unaji didn't understand and just grinned.

    Zhang Tingxun is very satisfied with this kind of life, and in a few years, maybe he can be transferred to the Rao Le Duhu Mansion.  At that time, bring the beautiful wives from Nanjing, one wife and one concubine to accompany them, and they can also fight on horseback, everything will be so perfect.

    Of course, it's not easy.

    On the afternoon when he returned to the castle, Zhang Tingxun was called to cut wood.

    Take advantage of the fact that there is no snow these two days, and cut down more trees.  There is no need to pull it back to the castle, just throw it on the edge of the forest, and then move it after the snow melts. Next year, we need to build ships and furniture.

    The Hasa people also have boats, but they are all birch bark boats, which can't stand the trouble at all.

    In addition, the branches need to be moved back as firewood for heating in winter.  There are many birch trees here, and the bark of the birch trees has been peeled off, which is very convenient for burning.

    The Datong Army has just arrived, and they only do three things in winter: fishing, tree-cutting, and drills.

    Hunting or something, wait until we get used to it.

    Tired for a long time, after dinner in the evening, Zhang Tingxun hugged Wu Naji and rolled the sheets.

    There are really no entertainment items. At night, women's cries can be heard everywhere in the castle.

    This made the soldiers who had not yet married locally feel extremely lonely, and planned to go to a nearby tribe to propose marriage next year.

    There must be more than one Sun-Day Ministry, and those freed slaves and hostages are the best guides.  When the snow melts next year, the Datong Army will visit one after another and get in touch with all the tribes.

    Two months later, the temperature dropped to minus 30 degrees.

    All kinds of activities have almost stopped, and the drills have stopped. They hide in the house all day to keep out the cold, and consume a lot of firewood.

    Zhang Tingxun hugs his wife every day to get tired of crooked, and mainly teaches Chinese. The main reason is that no matter how strong the cattle are, they cannot withstand the daily plowing.

    In just one winter, those Datong soldiers with wives got more than a dozen bellies.

    However, the infant mortality rate is extremely high, and it is unknown how many will survive.

    And obviously in summer, it is estimated that some soldiers will voluntarily give up the 20 places to return to Hailanpao.  Because their wives are pregnant, they can't afford to travel all the way.

    Batavia City, the former Dutch municipal building.

    Zhang Xianzhong has made meritorious service in continuous battles, and now he has become awe-inspiring. He slapped the table and said, "Angel Liu, these Indian prisoners can no longer be used. They can't work one by one, and they eat like rice buckets. They can all be used as cannon fodder in the siege!"

    "Just give me a bowl of gruel every day." Liu Hanyi said.

    Zhang Xianzhong said: "I definitely won't let them eat more, but they only eat a bowl of gruel, and they don't want to work at all. They can't move a few times when they are whipped. If the supervisor doesn't watch, they will lie on the ground to dry."  The sun. I also ordered that if you do a good job, you can eat more. This trick is useful for Taiwanese headhunters, but it doesn’t work for those Indian captives.”

    Deputy envoy Sun Jie said: "I asked rich Indian businessmen, and these captives are all untouchables. They can only do things like dig out excrement and move corpses. They are not allowed to believe in religion, and they are not allowed to reincarnate. They will be like that in this life, no matter you  They won't believe any promises you make. You said you can eat more if you do a good job, have you ever rewarded anyone?"

    "Repay the reward? The work given will never be finished. It's good if I don't kill them." Zhang Xianzhong said angrily.

    Sun Jie said with a smile: "Only when the Shang monarch migrates to the woods and establishes the faith can he reform the law in Qin. Village head Zhang can also reward the rice and establish the faith, regardless of whether the Indian captives have completed their work or not. Every day, choose the three who do the most work, in front of the rest.  For the captives’ noodles, give them an extra bowl of porridge. Those who are willing to work more will be rewarded to four people every day. Keep going up, ten or twenty will be rewarded every day. Then divide the Indian prisoners into groups, which group will work the best  Well, give everyone an extra bowl of porridge. The team leader will punish those who don’t want to work in order to eat more. But remember, even after receiving rewards, they can’t really make them full. Only hungry people,  Only then did I realize that eating more is very precious.”

    "Will this work?" Zhang Xianzhong questioned.

    "Give it a try, Village Chief Zhang is still reluctant to give a few more bowls of porridge a day?" Liu Hanyi laughed.

    Zhang Xianzhong said depressedly: "Then give it a try."

    The insensitivity of the Indian untouchables is such that they see no hope at all.

    Sun Jie said: "These hundreds of Indian captives can actually be used for good. First reward Lixin, change their ideas, and make them feel that they are also useful. Then let them be tenants in Luzon. They are real tenants, not what  Serfs. As long as they are willing to work, as long as they learn how to farm, no matter how lazy they are, they will be enough. In the future, the Datong army will kill India, and if these hundreds of Indian untouchables are captured, they will be able to recruit and educate more untouchables."

    Liu Hanyi said: "We'll talk about the Indian affairs later. Should we intensify our offensive? In a few days, the rainy season will come. I heard that the rainy season will last for three months."

    Sun Kewang said: "It's not easy to fight. The Dutch castle has four bastions. The walls are short and thick, and the artillery can't break them down. No matter which side you attack from, you will be hit by the enemy in the bastions.  arrive."

    Zhang Xianzhong said: "The usual method of digging ditches is not easy to use here. There are moats on all sides of the castle, and all the moats must be filled first. One side of the moat is also connected to the sea. The other two sides of the moat are connected to the Tiger Canal.  Connected. It can’t be directly filled there, but a canal must be dug first to divert the water from the Tiger Canal to another place to flow into the sea.”

    Everyone was speechless.

    If you want to fill the moat of the Dutch castle, the amount of work is not so large. You have to dig a canal to drain the water first, otherwise the city where the Datong Army is stationed will be flooded.

    "Can it be flooded" Sun Jie said halfway, but he felt amused, "Well, pretend I didn't say it."

    The castle is close to the sea, even if it is flooded, it will soon flow into the sea.

    Everyone discussed repeatedly, but couldn't think of a good way, so they could only besieged until the castle ran out of food.

    Tie Hong asked: "Do you want another night attack?"

    "I'm afraid it's not easy to fight." Zhang Xianzhong shook his head.

    At this moment, an officer in his twenties raised his hand.

    The officer's name is Li Cunhui, and he is a missionary officer transferred from Liaodong.  If there were casualties in the Luzon Datong Army, ordinary soldiers would supplement them on the spot, but mission officers were transferred from the mainland.

    Li Cunhui said: "The cities of Liaodong Tartars also have sharp-edged enemy towers similar to bastions. Later, they learned from us to build bastions. I have participated in several siege battles. The difficulty of attacking bastions is that the besiegers are on the way to attack.  , was bombarded by the defending artillery and caused a large number of casualties. However, the artillery of the siege side hardly caused damage to the defenders. I was in the army, and I have been teaching myself mathematics. I think this is a geometric problem.”

    None of the people present understood.

    Li Cunhui took out a small notebook and wrote and sketched: "Our army's previous trench digging was too complicated and the amount of work was too large. ???, everyone went back to summarize.

    Sun Kewang said: "This method is really useful. But it can only hit the defenders on the city wall, not the defenders in the bastion."

    Lieutenant General Zhan said: "It is enough to hit the defenders on the city wall. The bastions are dealt with by digging trenches, and the artillery suppresses the enemies on the city walls. When attacking the city, many people will be killed. If the city has no edges  Fortress, with this bombardment method alone, the defenders dare not stand on the wall, so the siege can be taken easily?"

    Zhang Xianzhong said: "Yes, if there was such a method of firing artillery a month ago, why would we use night raids when we attacked Batavia?"

    "It's not easy to win," Li Cunhui said, "but it can indeed reduce the casualties of the siege. I have been thinking about it when I was in Liaodong, but I didn't learn analytic geometry at that time. It was the bombardment of Batavia City.  At that time, I had some ideas, and I finally figured it out two days ago."

    The method is very good and can be promoted by the whole army, but it is useless against the bastion in front of us, mainly because the moat is too disgusting.

    Of course, it can be knocked down with a little effort.

    First excavate the canal and divert the water from the Tiger Canal to other places into the sea.  Then fill the moat with negative soil, and then excavate z-shaped trenches on the edges and corners, build fortifications with extended parallel trenches, and suppress the city wall in a parallel and low elevation angle, so that the bastion can be forcibly attacked.

    This offensive plan has to wait until the rainy season has passed.

    If everything goes well, it should take three months from digging the canal to capturing the castle.

 Text 859 [not simple]

    , I

    The crown princess has no titles at all, one is the main concubine, and the rest are side concubines.

    Concubine Jiang Yuan, the daughter of a farmer.

    Side concubine Qiao Wuhua, the daughter of the third-rank minister.

    Side concubine Zhu Junmo, the daughter of a county middle school teacher.

    Side concubine Li Ruosu, the daughter of a general of the Datong Army.

    From the backgrounds of the four princesses and concubines, it can be seen that the concubines of the new dynasty do not recognize their backgrounds at all.

    Unlike the Han and Tang Dynasties, they only select prominent families.

    Unlike the Ming Dynasty, most of them came from small families.

    It's more like the Song Dynasty. It's okay for a lady with a noble stomach, or a jade jade from a small family, it all depends on the emperor's preference.  The most outrageous thing is Liu E, who first married a silversmith as his wife. The couple pretended to be brother and sister, and the husband dedicated his wife to the prince.  Boiled the princess and queen to death, and finally became the queen herself, and her ex-husband can still be reused by the emperor.

    Of course, the queens of the Song Dynasty were still mainly the daughters of high officials.

    The prince was obviously unhappy when he heard the news.  His ideal concubine is Zhu Junmo, who usually communicates once every ten days, at least three love letters a month.

    But the resistance was ineffective, and the emperor had already made a decision.

    The next step is the three matchmakers and the six engagements. The ceremony still has to go, but the prince will definitely not come out of the palace to welcome his relatives in person.

    The customary cost of an emperor's wedding in the Ming Dynasty was three to four hundred thousand taels of silver.

    Like when Zhu Houzhao got married, the budget given by the household department was 300,000 taels.  As a result, during the actual operation, the budget was steadily increasing, and more than 500,000 taels of silver were needed, plus more than 8,000 taels of gold.  This must have been cheated by the eunuch, who took the opportunity to fill his own pocket, but the Ministry of Household Affairs resolutely refused to give the money, so the supervisor of ceremonies and the cabinet went back and forth.

    ? In the end, the two parties reached a compromise, and the wedding was settled with 400,000 taels of silver. Who would let Zhu Houzhao become a father who can spend money.

    For the royal wedding in the new dynasty of Datong, the royal finances were directly withdrawn from the bank, without having to discuss with the court how to use the money.  So the civil servants didn't care anymore, they wished that the wedding would be grander, so as to show the majesty and bearing of the imperial court even more.

    The wedding budget that Zhao Han finalized was only 150,000 taels of silver.

    Giving gifts to the natal families of the four crowned concubines cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, which is considered rather shabby and stingy.

    Like the grand wedding of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty, that is really a big deal.  Not counting the betrothal gifts, the gifts to the empress's family included three hundred taels of gold, fifteen thousand taels of silver, countless gold and silver artifacts, silk and satin, dozens of horses with matching saddles, etc.  There are court clothes, mink fur, pearls and so on.  There is also a banquet at the natal family, the unit is "hundred tables", and the unit of sheep and wine is also "hundred".

    Zhao Han was very unbalanced. When he married Fei Rulan, he didn't give a tael of silver; when he married Pan Qimei, he only gave him food, firewood, livestock and other ordinary things.  Now that my son is getting married, he has to spend so much gift money.

    After two or three months of preparations, the wedding finally took place.

    The whole city is decorated with lanterns and festoons, some of which are paid by the royal family. Lanterns and silks are hung at the door of the people's homes, and they will be given to the corresponding people afterwards.  Some shops are arranged spontaneously, making it more festive, and doing business while the prince is getting married.

    The three side concubines can only enter through the side door.

    Sitting on a phoenix chariot, the concubine went straight to Chengtian Gate and Yingmin Gate, where all civil and military officials greeted her.

    After the welcoming team left, all the officials also dispersed. They had a day off and all had dinner, and the crown prince treated them to guests.

    Prince Zhao Kuanghuan stood on the east steps of the East Palace, his face was not very happy, and he was still getting into trouble because of the concubine.

    Walking to the west steps of the East Palace, the Crown Princess got off the phoenix chariot.

    Although Zhao Kuanghuan was upset, he still had to do what he had to do. He bowed to the princess and welcomed her into his East Palace.

    As for the three side concubines, they were all carried to the side courtyard, and they will definitely not see the prince today.

    bridal chamber festivities, the couple sits stiffly.

    Jiang Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, feeling more and more anxious.  She could feel that the prince was very indifferent to her, which was like pouring cold water on her.

    "It's getting late, let's rest." The prince actually fell asleep without taking off his coat.

    Jiang Yuan had no choice but to remove the Fengguan Xiapei by himself, and curled up beside the prince.  Just as she was about to see the prince's face clearly, the prince had turned over and turned his back to her.

    Jiang Yuan had nothing to say: "What does the prince like?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan didn't speak.

    Jiang Yuan said again: "I can also compose poetry."

    Zhao Kuanghuan was silent.

    Jiang Yuan continued: "I have also read "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", but I haven't finished it."

    Zhao Kuanghuan was silent.

    "I" Jiang Yuan thought carefully, hoping to find out the prince's interest.

    ? Zhao Kuanghuan seems to have someIt's more like a lady from a big family.

    Well, more free and easy than a lady, after all, she dares to copy a knife and pig.

    Thinking of this, Zhao Kuanghuan subconsciously clamped his legs.

    After thinking about it, Zhao Kuanghuan said: "My mother likes poetry, and often weaves by hand."

    Jiang Yuan understood, and said happily: "I will learn how to spin and weave."

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked again: "Why are you pigtailing?"

    Jiang Yuan picked up the quickie and gestured: "Press there, the piggy's balls will bulge into a bag, look at it with a small knife, and then squeeze it a little bit harder, the piggy's balls will come out, and then swing the knife to smash the balls."  Cut it off!"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Kuanghuan was finally amused to laugh out loud when he thought of the scene of the beautiful young piggy.

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked again: "Do you still know how to raise pigs?"

    Jiang Yuan said: "Pigs are very smart, not as stupid as everyone says. My pigs often eat distiller's grains, get drunk just like humans, and even blush when drunk. Black pigs can't tell when they blush, but flowery pigs can.  Come out."

    Zhao Kuanghuan continued: "I heard that cotton is grown in many places in Shandong."

    Jiang Yuan said: "There are relatively few cotton growers over there, but there are also"

    A new couple chatted while eating, and rolled onto the bed after chatting.

 Text 860 [King Narai Returns to the Kingdom]

    The red candles were put out in the bridal chamber last night, and I paid my respects to my uncle and aunt before Xiaotang.  After finishing makeup, I asked my husband and son-in-law in a low voice, whether the thrush is dark or light.

    It is etiquette for the groom to take the bride to visit his parents on the morning of the second day of his wedding.

    The royal family is no exception.

    Zhao Han specially stayed with the queen to sleep, waiting for the prince and princess to come to say hello.

    The four of them had breakfast together, and after a few casual conversations, Zhao Han got up to deal with government affairs and asked Fei Rulan to continue chatting with his son and daughter-in-law.

    Just as he sat down, Zhao Han ordered: "Call Na Lai."

    The Prince Narai of Siam took a two-year crash course at the Nanjing Military Academy, and now serves as a guard of the imperial city.

    Nalai received the order and rushed to see him.

    Zhao Han asked the female officer to hand over a letter of credence: "Your father is seriously ill and is under house arrest by your brother. Your uncle sent troops to rescue him and killed your brother. Your father also died in the rebellion. Now, your uncle is regent in Siam,  Ask me to canonize him as King of Siam."

    Prince Nalai didn't even read the letter of credence, so he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Rong Bing, your elder brother is weak, and it is absolutely impossible to imprison his father and usurp the throne. Please borrow five hundred soldiers from your majesty, and Rong Chen will return to the country to punish the real regicide."  people!"

    "Okay, I will canonize you as the King of Siam, and you can go to Guangnan Province to borrow troops with the documents." Zhao Han actually agreed.

    Is it because Prince Narai has always been very loyal?

    There is this reason.

    But more importantly, Zhao Han could tell that this guy named Na Lai had hidden ambition in his eyes.  At the same time, he is extremely rational and able to see the general trend clearly.

    After Prince Nalai left the palace, he couldn't hold back his joy at last, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

    As a prince, he came to Nanjing as a bodyguard. Isn't this the day he's been waiting for?

    Don't look like a wimpy old king of Siam, he was a powerful minister usurping the throne when he was young.  The entire process of usurping the throne can be regarded as a classic case of a minister taking the position——

    First unite all forces to prevent the vice king of Siam from succeeding to the throne, support the young prince to ascend the throne, and take the opportunity to become the regent himself.

    The deputy king was so frightened that he became a monk at home, and this guy lured Yamada Nagamasa (a Japanese general) and sent Yamada Nagamasa to encourage the deputy king to seize the throne.  Deputy Wang Huanhuan happily returned to Beijing and was immediately arrested.  He was arrested and not killed, but deliberately exiled, so that the deputy king would flee and raise troops to separate the regime.

    At this time, send Yamada Nagamasa to counter the rebellion.

    When Yamada Nagamasa, who held a heavy army in his hands, left, he took the opportunity to control the court and the capital's army, and also seduced the young king to indulge in his lust.

    After suppressing the rebellion, Yamada Nagamasa tried to return to Beijing, but was sent to Japan as an envoy on his way halfway.

    This guy took the opportunity to murder the king, intending to usurp the throne and stand on his own.

    When Yamada Nagamasa got the news, he brought his troops back quickly, scaring him so much that he changed the prince to be the king.  He also provoked a local rebellion and ordered Yamada Nagamasa to quell the rebellion in the name of the king.

    Yamada Nagamasa had no choice but to lead his troops to leave. This guy finally succeeded in usurping the throne, that is, Prince Narai's father, King Passaiton.

    Yamada Nagamasa was so powerful that he actually put down Liukun's rebellion.

    King Basaitong decided to appease him, and conferred the title of Yamada Nagamasa as the prefect of Liukun, which is actually similar to the Jiedushi of the Tang Dynasty.  He also secretly contacted the younger brother of the former Liukun prefect, who avenged his brother and poisoned Yamada Nagamasa to death.

    As soon as Yamada Nagamasa died, King Passaiton immediately expelled the Japanese and took full control of the power of Siam.

    With such a father, is Prince Lai really a good person?

    Even his elder brother is not a good person.  On the surface, he is weak and weak, but secretly makes friends with powerful people, and has been suppressing his younger brother Na Lai.

    The relationship between Na Lai and his elder brother is similar to Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng.

    And the fathers of the two, for various reasons, sometimes reused Na Lai, and sometimes suppressed Na Lai.

    Historically, when King Bassetoon died of illness, his eldest son succeeded him automatically.  Prince Nalai instigated his uncle to rebel and killed his brother to usurp the throne.  In the name of avenging his brother, he killed his uncle and became king himself.

    Moreover, Prince Nalai came to power and colluded with the Dutch.  When he becomes king, he immediately turns against the Dutch.  First, it united with the British to fight against the Netherlands, and then joined the French to fight against the British, and then used the Chinese forces to suppress the French forces.  Uncle, Dutch, British, French, Chineseall are his tools.  During this period, he was defeated steadily by the Netherlands, and was forced to sign an unequal treaty, handing over the interests of Chinese businessmen to the Netherlands.  But when the Netherlands withdraws its troops, it refuses to fulfill the treaty and supports Chinese businessmen to frantically crowd out the Netherlands.

    In this time and space, Prince Narai voluntarily left Siam for nothing more than two purposes.

    One is to befriend China and lick the emperor of China.

    Second, after he went abroad?Assuming a position similar to that of a chief of staff.

    He also conferred the title of "Praya" (similar to a marquis) as the guard of Nonthaburi, and still commanded his own troops.

    Even several Han Chinese leaders here were conferred the title of "Kun" (similar to a baron).

    For a while, morale was high and everyone was satisfied.

    At the same time, a call for thieves was sent to various places, ordering local troops from all over Siam to come to serve the king.

    Without waiting for King Qin's troops to arrive, King Narai collected some grain, grass and ships, and immediately rushed to the capital Ayutthaya along the river.

    ?The usurpering king, Si Soktan Malacha, was terrified when he heard the news. He also issued a call for thieves and an order to fight the king, and hurriedly recruited troops to defend Ayutthaya.

    Then, this guy was assassinated by his subordinates

    A soul-stirring "Prince's Revenge", about to stage the most turbulent part, suddenly came to an abrupt end.

    However, the king's troops are still coming one after another, and they don't know which king they are going to serve.

    This is in the arms of King Nalai, there is no need to gather additional troops, and take the king's troops from all over the place to kill Burma directly.

    Make a name for yourself and regain lost ground!

    At the same time, the Datong Army, which has been preparing for several years, has also assembled at the northern and southern borders of Myanmar.

 Text 861 [Three-sided Siege Plan]

    The Qing-Myanmar War in history was fought for several years.

    It's embarrassing to say that nearly half of the first two years of fighting were fought in China.

    Moreover, the main force of the Burmese army was on an expedition to Siam and was besieging the capital of Siam. The Qing army was only facing a partial division of Burma.  Of course, the Qing army was also full of green battalions and native soldiers, and they were beaten all over the ground by the Burmese partial division.

    In the final outcome, it was impossible to tell who won and who lost. The frontline generals on both sides were exhausted.

    ?The Qing army kept the Emperor Qianlong behind the scenes, and the Burmese army kept the Burmese king behind the scenes. They each sent more than a dozen generals to discuss peace, exchanged gifts, and officially ceased fighting.  When the Qing army retreated, they sank their cannons and burned their boats. The Burmese army felt that it was a pity, and asked to give them the boats and cannons, but the Qing army sternly refused.

    Immediately, each went back to each house, each looking for each mother.

    The Qing army went back and said to Qianlong, we have achieved a great victory, and Myanmar has completely surrendered.  The Burmese army also went back and said that the Qing army had been repelled, and we finally won.

    Qianlong and King Burma really believed it.

    Even if you don't believe it, you must believe it.  Take the Qing army as an example, the war cost more than 9 million taels of silver, can it be fought again?

    The prince, who was married not long ago, was allowed to attend the Supreme Military Council.

    Lu Xiangsheng pointed to the map and said: "According to the detailed reports sent in the past two years, the Burmese have intensified their invasion of Cheli. The chieftain in Cheli also kept asking for help, asking the imperial court to send troops to help. The 13th Banna of Chelisi has been occupied by the Burmese.  Go for two."

    The Cheli Xuanwei Department is one of the three propaganda and six comforts established in the Ming Dynasty.

    There are twelve big chieftains under its jurisdiction, plus one Chelisi, the total is "Thirteen Banna".  "Banna" means "thousand fields", "Thirteen Banna" means "thirteen thousand fields", and each thousand fields is a jurisdiction.

    Does it sound familiar?

    Thirteen Banna is Xishuangbanna!

    The consolation envoy in the car, that is, the leader of Xishuangbanna, has been jumping repeatedly for more than two hundred years.

    The last few jumps are as follows: In the thirteenth year of Wanli, it was attached to the Ming Dynasty.  In the fourth year of Apocalypse, he surrendered to Burma.  Five years after Tianqi, he betrayed Burma.  In the sixth year of the apocalypse, the Burmese army made a comeback, the chieftain was killed, and he descended to Burma again.  In the ninth year of the Republic of China, he surrendered to the Chinese court.

    ?Because of the delay in accepting officials sent by China, the Datong Army has never been able to help, and Myanmar took the opportunity to invade again.

    If the Datong Army remains on hold, the entire Xishuangbanna will surrender to Burma.

    Lu Xiangsheng said: "Today's consolation envoy in the car is called Dao Nuomeng. Because he was young, his uncle Dao Muqian is in charge. Dao Muqian is unable to resist the Burmese, but taxes are increasing day by day. The chieftains and people in the car  They are all unconvinced. After the war, you can use both kindness and force to reform the land and return it to the people, but you can’t reform too much, otherwise it will definitely induce a rebellion.”

    The Minister of the Ministry of Officials has been replaced by Ouyang Zheng, who was also a hero of Conglong during the Luling period. He said: "In the sixth year of the apocalypse, the Burmese army captured Cheli and took away a large number of people. The southern part of Cheli is sparsely populated, so we can take the opportunity  Immigrants. There are many Dai people in Yunnan, who can recruit Dai officials and serve as officials in Cheli. Cheli Xuanweisi can be changed to Cheli Prefecture, with two counties under it. Thirteen Banna, changed to Thirteen Towns, originally  Every chieftain is the mayor of the town."

    Lu Xiangsheng continued to point to the map and said: "The chieftain in the car will definitely agree to the Datong army's crossing of the border, and even send troops to help. However, Commander Meng, who is next to him, has been vacillating in the lawsuit, and his attitude is ambiguous. Our army should march urgently and take the border in one fell swoop.  Checkpoints, use military power to subdue them. According to their past habits, most of them will surrender on the surface, or at least they will not help each other."

    The lawsuit of Commander Menglian is the Menglian County, Lancang County and Ximeng County of Pu'er City hundreds of years later.

    That is to say, not only was Xishuangbanna not included in the territory of the Datong New Dynasty, but some places in Pu'er City were still controlled by chieftains.

    The chieftain here is also surnamed Dao. From the Jiajing period to the present, there have been various internal struggles for power.  Brothers kill brothers, nephews kill uncles, and when fighting for power, they often resort to external forces, such as betraying Ming Dynasty and seeking refuge in Burma.

    At this time, Dao Paiqin, chieftain of Menglian, surrendered to Burma and has been unwilling to pay tribute to China.

    Zhao Han said: "After the war, Chieftain Menglian can no longer stay, and will be changed to Menglianzhou. And this Dao family, kill a few more Liwei!"

    Lu Xiangsheng continued: "The plan of the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion, Liu Xinyu's division commander, went to Cheli and Menglian, and went all the way to Menggen's Mansion and Eight Hundred Division. The main force of Huang Dudu Huang Yao's main force went to Dajinsha  Jiang, go south to attack Mengyang, part of the division to go to Dayingjiang to attack Mengmi together, and look for an opportunity to fight the main force of Toungoo Burma. Even if there is a stalemate due to the terrain, it is enough to drag out the main force of the enemy, because our army still has two divisions to go by sea.  !"

    Both Menggen Mansion and Eight Hundred Divisions were established in the Ming Dynasty.

    Menggen is the Jingdong area of ??Myanmar, and Yabaisi is the Chiang Mai area of ????Myanmar.  By the way, there used to be a country of eight hundred wives,He mobilized the army to go north, wondering whether he should change to a new king.

    Mang Da has already caused anger and resentment, and Mang Bai is so outstanding, there shouldn't be much resistance to the abolition of the establishment.

    "Urgent report, urgent report!"

    A fast ship came from the south, and the messenger galloped into the city, straight to the Privy Council.

    After hearing the news, Hei Ludao received the messenger and asked, "Are there Meng people making trouble in the south?"

    The messenger said out of breath: "It is the Chinese army, coming from the sea. The various tribes of the Mon people in the south have defected to the enemy one after another, and have already lost several towns!"

    Hei Ludao was inexplicably shocked, and muttered to himself: "Isn't the Chinese army used to coming from the north? How could they come from the south by sea?"

    The Datong Army on the South Road did not adopt the original plan and did not attack Taungoo, the old capital of Burma.  Instead, they landed directly on the Yinrawaddy River, and along the river to the north, they could directly kill Awa City, the capital of Myanmar.

    The reason for changing the plan is due to careful work and meritorious service.

    ?Xizuo went to southern Myanmar to do business with Han merchants, and found that the Mon people here were very powerful, and they all refused to obey the rule of the Toungoo Dynasty.  During the reign of King Talong, the ethnic conflicts eased, but after the death of King Talong, the ethnic conflicts intensified again.

    The boats that the Datong Army took along the river were all provided by the Mon people.

 Text 862 [The Lone Army Goes Deep]

    ? To fight a war in Southeast Asia, the battle must be resolved quickly.

    If the battle is won, the troops will be withdrawn, and the fighting time, including marching, is more appropriate within five months.

    If it is necessary to garrison troops after the war, wipe out the remnants of the enemy army, and arrange officials in the newly occupied land, then it must be done within three months.

    Once the time is delayed, we will face high heat and high humidity weather, resulting in a large number of non-combat attrition of troops.

    Therefore, the expedition to Burma has been in preparation for several years.

    If you don't fight, you will die, if you want to fight, you will be thunderous, and you can fight it once and for all!

    The main attack force has four regular divisions.  One of the divisions was specially programmed for Burma.

    In addition, there are 40,000 inspectors, all from Yunnan and Guangxi provinces.

    Regardless of duty and support personnel, there are more than 80,000 soldiers alone!

    The two divisions on the South Road, the division commanders are Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan, and they each brought 5,000 patrol soldiers.

    Yang Zhan is 50 years old this year, and he brought his territory and troops to the new dynasty in Sichuan.  After graduating from the crash course of the military academy, he participated in the recovery of Guizhou and Yunnan, and finally became a division commander two years ago.  This should be the last time he commanded a battle, and then he would either be transferred back to the Dudu Mansion, or transferred to the Dusiguan conscription and training.

    Qin Liangyu's two nephews, also because they were too old, left the front line after being promoted to deputy division commander. One was transferred to the governor's mansion to sit in the government office, and the other served as the commander of the Guizhou capital.

    Standing at the bow of the boat, Yang Zhan admired the scenery along the river: "At this speed, we will be able to reach the capital of Taungoo next month."

    Ding Jiasheng said with a smile: "Meng people are too enthusiastic, they give food and boats."

    Not only give ships, but also send troops to follow.

    The Lower Burma region is the land of Longxing of the Toungoo Dynasty.  The main ethnic group here is the Mon, followed by the Bamar and Karen.  In order to consolidate the regime, the Burmese king must suppress the power of the Mon people, triggering continuous Mon uprisings.  In the past hundred years, the population of the entire Lower Burma region has been halved.

    When the Datong Army landed at the estuary of the Yinrawaddy River, the lurking secret agents took the opportunity to join forces, and a large number of Mon chiefs and merchants recruited troops to help.

    These Mon soldiers did not perform well in siege, and the racial vendettas became fiercer one by one.

    During the march, they often broke away from the Datong Army and rushed to the nearby Burmese villages to carry out massacres. The entire village killed all the Burmese people.

    ? Such behavior caused the Burmese in Lower Burma to flee upstream with their families.

    The Burmese government didn't have to work hard to gather troops, and directly recruited the fleeing people to form troops, and finally pulled up a "hundred thousand troops" to defend Pyay City.

    The strategic position of Pyay City in Myanmar is probably similar to that of Xuzhou in China.  No matter which dynasty wants to fight for the hegemony of Myanmar, it must fight a battle here.

    One hundred and twelve years ago, the Taungoo Dynasty also won the Battle of Prome before finally establishing its dominance in Burma.

    At that time, the Burmese had not yet turned against the Mon, and joined hands to resist the rule of the Shan people of the Ava Dynasty.  Although the Mon people are not good at fighting, they are very good at farming and doing business. They provided 1,400 ships and 9,000 sailors for the Burmese army.

    Now history is repeating itself. The Mon people provided more than 1,200 ships, more than 8,000 sailors, and more than 10,000 civilian husbands to the Datong Army, just to overthrow the brutal rule of the Burmese.

    When Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan led their troops to Prome, they were immediately speechless by the sight in front of them.

    On the city wall, densely packed, all are "defenders"!

    There are Bamar refugees everywhere outside the city. Since the city is already overcrowded, these Bamar refugees can only stay outside the city.

    "Camp!"

    The Datong army camped a few miles south of the city by the mountains and rivers.

    The next day, the artillery was pulled out and fired at the refugee camp outside the city first.  There are too many various shacks, which will affect the Datong army's attack on the city, so they must be cleared first.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    ?After more than 20 shells fell, the Bamar refugees fled in terror. Unable to enter the city, they chose to go around the city and flee further north.

    The chief general stationed in Prome City is Mang Tai, a nobleman of the Toungoo royal family.

    His son Mang Sigu said: "Father, we have an superior force, we can go out and fight the enemy!"

    Mang Tai shook his head: "Stick and wait for help."

    Mang Sigu said: "There are too many people pouring into the city, and we don't have time to collect food and grass. We will be besieged for a month or two at most, and we will run out of food by then!"

    "Stick and wait for help!" Mang Tai said firmly.

    The Taungoo Dynasty was similar to the Annan Kingdom, with only tens of thousands of standing troops, and most of them were stationed in the capital and the northern border.  When a big battle is needed, let the local nobles recruit farmers, and the limit force can be expanded to 300,000.

    &nPeople, and organized into a city defense force.  But everyone felt that Pyay City could hold on, and even if they couldn't, they could hold on for two or three months. They just waited for King Myanmar's reinforcements.

    When the Datong army suddenly approached the city, the officials who defended the city thought that the city of Promea had been lost, so they were so frightened that they abandoned the city and fled.

    The chief officers have all run away, a group of temporarily formed refugee troops, how can there be morale to stick to the end?  After firing the cannon, the city gate to the north opened wide, and the defenders and civilians scrambled to escape.

    "Kill all the Burmese!"

    The Mon servant army, with red eyes, rushed into the city to burn, kill and loot.

    Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan did not stop them, and even allowed the Mon soldiers to plunder.  They took the risk of leading the army northward and had to supply food along the way. It was inconvenient for the Datong army to do such dirty work, so they just let the Mon servant army do it for them.  We divided the goods together, and all the food was taken by the Datong Army.

    After three days of looting, the army continued north.

    The Burmese who fled to the north spread the news along the way, saying that the city of Prome had been breached.  This wrong military situation frightened all the cities upstream, and they all abandoned the city and fled.

    The Datong Army traveled northward for more than 500 miles before encountering resistance in Bagan City.

    Bagan City is also a big city, only 280 miles away from the capital of Myanmar.  There are not only tens of thousands of temporary recruits in this city, but also thousands of reinforcements gathered by the King of Burma, and nearly ten thousand reinforcements are also rushing over.

    And to the south, Mangtai, the chief general of Promea, is also leading an "army of tens of thousands" to chase after him.

    The troops of Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan obviously went deep alone, and they will face the north-south attack of more than 100,000 Burmese troops.

    It's just that, of the more than 100,000 Burmese troops, the standing army that can really fight is less than 20,000.

    "How to fight?" Ding Jiasheng asked.

    Yang Zhan said: "Go back the same way and wipe out the pursuers in the south!"

    "Hahaha, I think so too." Ding Jiasheng laughed loudly.

 Text 863 [Captain of the Transportation Brigade]

    On the second day after the Datong army left the city of Prome, Mangtai had already discovered it.

    He first sent a small group of troops to attack tentatively, and found that the south and north of the city were all empty camps.

    Even so, Mang Tai did not dare to pursue immediately, fearing that the Datong army would trick him out of the city.  This guy was extremely cautious, and sent a fast boat to inquire about the news. He didn't dare to be sure that the enemy had really left until the Datong Army traveled northward for dozens of miles.

    Regarding this situation, Mang Tai was both happy and angry.

    The good news is that the Datong army did not capture Pyay, but dared to go deep into the north alone, and sooner or later they would be surrounded and wiped out by the Burmese army.

    What's angry is that the Datong army treats him like air, and they are not afraid of him following behind to chase after him!

    Mangtai left 10,000 refugees to defend the city, and led an army of tens of thousands to pursue.

    Although he was angry in his heart, he didn't dare to chase too fast.

    One is that there are only more than 3,000 main forces, and the remaining tens of thousands are all scum, and marching too fast will collapse the team.  The second is to be cautious, fearing that the Datong army will kill the carbine.

    Every time he came to a city that had been occupied by the Datong Army, Mangtai would go forward to defend the city, and then send spies to inquire about the news, and then continue to chase after confirming that the Datong Army had gone far.  At the same time, he hurriedly wrote the victory report, and regained another city by himself.

    Finally, the Datong army approached the city of Bagan and camped several miles outside the city.

    This news made Mangtai completely let go of his vigilance, and led his army out from Shaobu City in the south, and slowly marched forward to fight a battle in Bagan City.  At that time, his troops will be in the south, and the King of Burma's reinforcements will be in the north. Together with the army in Bagan City, they will be able to completely wipe out this arrogant enemy army!

    Outside Bagan, the Datong military camp is still there.

    More than 1,000 supply ships and more than 8,000 Mon sailors were stationed on the riverside next to the big camp.  In the barracks, there are still 3,000 regular troops, 5,000 inspectors, and more than 10,000 Mon servants.

    The defenders in the city dare not come out, and are still waiting for reinforcements.

    However, the artillery of the Datong Army continued to bombard the city wall every day, and seemed to intend to storm the city, unlike the main force who had left.

    "The enemy is coming, run!"

    A small group of Burmese cavalry collided head-on with the dragoons who were exploring the road, and fled away after a long distance.

    When Yang Zhan heard the news, he was a little helpless: "The enemy general is not a fool, he was careful all the way, and he can be called a good general in China."

    "Abandon the luggage and speed up the march!" Ding Jiasheng ordered immediately.

    Thousands of dragoons chased them out first.

    The Datong Dragoons in the southwest region, to be precise, belong to the mountain cavalry.

    The riders are all Southwest pony, good at climbing mountains and ridges.  Equipped with a tiger squatting cannon, it is convenient to move quickly and fire between paddy fields and mountains.  All crew members have flintlock guns, no bayonets, only waist knives and lances.  Instead of cotton armor, he only wore a layer of light chain mail, and a rattan helmet that shaded the sun, rain, and arrows.

    In the south, Mangtai seemed a little flustered when he received the news. The Datong Army actually shot back. Aren't you afraid of being chased by the defenders of Bagan City?

    Or, how dare you divide your troops to attack your tens of thousands of troops?

    "The whole army retreats to the camp!"

    The so-called camp is the temporary camp they set up last night.  Some wooden fences were inserted to make the walls of the village, and a small amount of trenches were dug, which could barely be regarded as fortifications.

    Mang Tai didn't dare to march back to the nearest city in a hurry, as the same sentence said, running too fast would disperse the troops.

    The main force of the Burmese army is tens of thousands of standing troops. The expansion of the army during the war is also to let the local nobles recruit farmers.  Local aristocrats have their own private soldiers, recruiting peasants within their jurisdiction can guarantee the combat effectiveness of the peasant army.

    But the Datong army killed it too quickly, and the local nobles ran away with their private soldiers.  Many did not flee to the north, but avoided the front of the army and fled to the east to gather in Bagu and Toungoo.

    Without the local nobles leading troops, it was difficult for Mang Tai to effectively command the peasant army.

    "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming!"

    Before the Burmese army returned to the place where they camped last night, the Datong dragoons had already caught up.

    Thanks to King Talong, who had passed away from illness, an official road was laid along the river, otherwise the river bank would be full of rice fields, and the cavalry would really not be able to run.

    Here belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the Ayeyarwady River, where rice is harvested two or three times a year.

    It is clearly winter, but the seedlings are knee-deep.

    Mangtai hastily deployed his army, leading the main force himself, forming an array near the official road.  More than a dozen local nobles led tens of thousands of peasant troops, stepping on the rice fields and spreading them on both sides.

    In order to pursue quickly, the Datong cavalry did not bring tiger squatting guns.

    "Abandon the horse and line up!"

    The cavalry general is called Qin Fuguo, who is Qin Liangyu's grandnephew.

    More than 4,000 dragoons, in an instantOn the official road, quickly reload and shoot at the rice fields on both sides in turn.

    At this time, more and more Burmese troops found that their main general had already run away with the main force.  The local aristocrats were the first to react, calling the private soldiers to turn around and flee, and the nearby militia immediately followed suit.

    The four wild rice fields are full of routs, and the Datong army can't pursue them.

    After hacking and killing all the way, those defeated soldiers on the official road finally knew how to jump into the rice field to escape.

    "Fuck me!"

    When the routs on the official road cleared up, Qin Fuguo finally discovered that there were still countless luggage blocking the road ahead, and even a few artillery blocks there.

    The luggage of tens of thousands of troops was lying on the official road, and it would be hell if the cavalry could pass.

    Qin Fuguo roared angrily: "Get off your horse and enter the field, capture the prisoners, and transport the luggage!"

    There is no way to chase after them. When these luggage are removed, the main force of the enemy army may have fled back to the city.  We can only capture the prisoners as much as possible, seize the luggage and go back to the mission.

    This battle was fought nonsense enough. Although the enemy army was defeated, the main force all fled.

    Fortunately, the materials were seized!

    When Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan led the main force of the Datong Army to chase after them, facing this situation, they also couldn't laugh or cry.

    Thanks to the enemy generals, who came hundreds of miles away, turned around and left after delivering the supplies, and did not stay to listen to thank you.

    In any case, the Chinese army, which has gone deep alone, will not worry about the food problem for the time being.

 Text 864 [Siam and Eight Hundred Divisions]

    In ancient Chinese marches and wars, if the grain was transported purely by land, the army could bring 510 days of grain with it, and the troop projection distance was about 500 kilometers.  If the enemy is strong and clears the field, the projection distance will be greatly shortened, because there will be no food to grab along the way.

    At this time, a logistics supply system is needed. If there are vehicles, boats and other tools to transport grain, a large station will be set up about 60 miles away.  If it is purely transported by manpower, a small station should be set up about 10 miles away, and the peasants will carry it in batches, so as to ensure the speed of grain transportation.

    It is so troublesome to transport food, and the enemy cities encountered along the way must be taken down one by one.

    Because the army can pass around the city, but the grain transport team behind cannot.  Once the army is far away, the enemy will come out of the city, cut off our army's food roads, and even burn down our army's rear food stations.

    However, don't take the situation of ancient China and apply it to other countries in the same period!

    Take the European Middle Ages as an example, only 10% of the military rations were provided by logistics, and the remaining 90% were provided by soldiers themselves, merchant trade and on-the-spot robbery.

    It was not until the Thirty Years War that the logistics system was gradually improved.  For example, the military warehouse system in France was established during the Richelieu period.  Even with the garrison system, the logistical principle of the Louis XIV era was still: only supplies that could not be obtained abroad were transported from within the country.

    More than a hundred years ago, when the Taungoo Dynasty fought the Battle of Pyay, the military rations were all transported directly to the front line by ships provided by the Mon people.

    At that time, there was the army of the Ava Dynasty in the north, and the waterway in the south was completely blocked by Arakan warships.  Therefore, the army of the Toungoo Dynasty had no food at all, but they were still able to besiege the city for more than five months until they finally won the war.

    This time, if the Datong Army on the South Road is halved and then halved again, there is no need for supplies along the way, and only the grain transport ships accompanying the army will be enough.

    And Mang Tai's tens of thousands of pursuers had only one or two months of food when they were stationed in the city of Prome.  This guy traveled northward, collected food and grass during the march, and ordered officials from all over the country to send it quickly. The tens of thousands of troops were actually tens of thousands of civilians, and they brought their own food with the help of ships and livestock. There was no so-called logistics transportation team at all.

    When Mangtai returned to Shaobu City to defend with more than 3,000 main forces, good news came from the east.

    ?The local aristocratic troops assembled in Mautamian, Bago, Daguang Yangon and other places went north from the narrow plain in the east, and then turned west to block the back road of the Datong army. At this time, thousands of people had arrived in Kyaukpa East.  There are more troops on the way, all of them can come and join Mang Tai.  The troops in the Toungoo area received orders to go to the capital early, and they were rushing from the north to reinforce Bagan City.

    Once all the ministries arrive successfully, the army equal to two-thirds of Myanmar will encircle the troops of Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan.

    Whether it's whether it's a solitary army going deep, or the center is blooming, Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan have done too much this time.  The aggressive and crazy way of marching straight into the heart of Myanmar is like poking a hornet's nest. The Burmese army can't even care about the northern border.

    Huang Yao and Liu Xinyu's North Army only had to face one-third of the Burmese army, and the rest of the Burmese army came to fight Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan.

    Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan couldn't fight casually, because they had too few civilians, and their logistics were all on the grain transport boats, so they could only move along the line of the Yinrawaddy River.

    Just when they were about to be surrounded, fighting broke out on the other roads.

    Arakan, the sea bully in the Bay of Bengal, as a loyal subsidiary force of Myanmar, brought more than 40 large and small warships and more than 2,000 soldiers in the army, and even came to support by sea.

    They collided with the Datong Navy guarding there near the entrance of the Yinrawaddy River.

    The Datong Navy warmly greeted them and fired a "salute" as a meeting ceremony.

    The naval commander in Arakan glanced at the ships of the Datong Navy and immediately issued a very impolite order.  They didn't even say hello, and didn't fire a few "salutes", they just went back the same way, went back where they came from, and didn't get involved in the war between China and Burma.

    On the other side of Siam, King Nalai led 500 Datong troops and more than 30,000 Siamese soldiers, and went straight to Langga, a coastal city in southeastern Myanmar.

    Siam and Myanmar are enemies.

    More than a hundred years ago, the war never stopped.  I will surround your capital for a while, and you will surround my capital for a while. Even if there is no Datong army, there will be a war in ten years. The Siamese army will go straight to Bagan, which is the city that Ding Jiasheng is going to fight now.

    What is Langjiashu, what is Tuwa, it is impossible to tell whose homeland it is, anyway, as long as it is occupied by the other party, it is said to be one's own lost land.

    Due to the hurricane advance of the Datong Army, the Burmese army stationed in Langa has quickly assembled northward.

    The Siamese army took Leng Zihua and beat the Burmese army by surprise.  In just five days, Langjiashu was captured by King Nalai.;He is the consolation envoy of Eight Hundred Dadian conferred by Ming Dynasty, the leader of Jingmai conferred by Siam, and the local nobleman conferred by Burma.  So, when China, Burma, and Siam are at war, which side should he help?

    "China is strong, we cannot disobey the emperor's order."

    "China is too far away and the Burmese are too close to offend the Burmese."

    "But Siam is closer. If we don't fight for Siam, we will be punished."

    "What if the Burmese win?"

    "The Burmese can't win. This time, China and Siam joined forces to attack the Burmese."

    "Don't wait any longer and see which side wins."

    ""

    The poor and naughty Yabaisi immediately recruited troops and collected food and grass.

    They first told the Chinese and Siamese envoys that they would send troops to help, but it took time to deploy troops and collect food.  He also secretly sent envoys to Awa, the capital of Myanmar, saying that he was recruiting troops and would soon send troops to help Myanmar.

    When the 800 Division completes the gathering of troops, the situation should be clear, and whichever side has the upper hand will fall to whichever side.

 Text 865 [Brother kills brother]

    Hundreds of years later in Xishuangbanna, the number is less than Thirteen Banna.

    The two Bannas of Mengwu and Ude were ceded to French Vietnam by the Qing Dynasty, covering an area of ??about 3,000 square kilometers.

    The cession of the land is not outrageous, what is really outrageous is the reason for the cession of the land by the Qing Dynasty.

    ?China was defeated in the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895, and the Japanese lions opened their mouths. The interests of Russia, France and Germany were damaged, so they took the initiative to stand up for mediation.  After the mediation of the three countries ended, they took the opportunity to ask for rewards. What France asked for was the land in Yunnan.

    Moreover, the request was successful.

    ?In addition to Mengwu and Ude, the land ceded to Vietnam at that time also included Huabang, Hadang, Helian, Mengmeng, Boding, Mobie, Moxing, and Manmei.

    Of course, everyone should not scold Vietnam.

    ?Because it was ceded to French Vietnam, French Vietnam is not a national concept, but a geopolitical concept.  After World War II, the two Bannas of Mengwu and Ude all became the border of Laos, located in the northern part of Phongsali Province of Laos.

    The eastern front troops of the Datong Army on the North Road were not regular divisions heading to Xishuangbanna, but a temporary reorganized division in Yunnan newly formed by 12,000 local inspection troops.

    ? Teacher Lu Liangqi, deputy teacher Dao Kangmu, and mission chief Guo Kun.

    Due to an arm injury, Lu Liangqi couldn't exert much strength, so he turned to be a patrolling general.  About a quarter of the soldiers under his command belonged to retired veterans and disabled workers. Of course, these people must not have brought them.

    Most of the grassroots sergeants of the inspection soldiers who went out to fight this time belonged to peasants and soldiers.  Only mid-to-high-ranking generals are more or less disabled.

    The troops marched to the territory of Chelisi, and the local chieftain warmly welcomed them.  They were fed up with looting, and year after year they begged the Nanjing court to send troops, and now the Datong Army finally came.

    Arriving at Xiaomengyang Jinghong, the head of the regent, Dao Muchan, took the young chieftain nephew out to welcome him.

    "The last general Dao Mu prayed, kowtow to the great general of the Celestial Dynasty!" Dao Mu prayed on the ground and knelt down.

    Lu Liangqi said: "Get up."

    Deputy division commander Dao Kangmu translated: "The division commander asked you to stand up."

    Dao Mu prayed for Xie En to stand up, and asked in surprise: "The general can speak Dai dialect?"

    Dao Kangmu was expressionless: "I am also from Dai."

    This appointment was intentional, otherwise, with Dao Kangmu's qualifications, he could at most be the temporary deputy brigade commander.

    The effect was remarkable. The army traveled all the way. Because of Dao Kangmu's identity as a Dai, the chieftains in the car were more trusted.

    Lu Liangqi asked: "Is your army ready?"

    Dao Muqian quickly replied: "The army has been gathered, and the food has been prepared since last year."

    "The army is resting outside the city and will set off early tomorrow morning." Lu Liangqi said.

    Dao Muqian invited: "Generals, go to the city to rest first, the last general has prepared wine and food."

    Lu Liangqi waved his hand: "No need. During the battle, you are not allowed to drink, and I will rest outside the city."

    Daomu prayed there in a daze, thinking that he had offended the other party.

    Dao Kangmu explained: "The army of the Celestial Dynasty has strict discipline, and it is the same wherever it goes."

    "I see." Dao Muchan was no longer nervous, but at the same time admired the rules of the Datong Army.

    ? On the next day, more than 30,000 Datong inspectors and chieftain soldiers in Cheli marched towards the south.

    The target they want to attack is Tusi Meng Gen.

    Chieftain Menggen has long surrendered to Burma, and has invaded Chelisi many times, and those guys are the ones who jumped the most.

    About to march to the occupied Mengban, the vanguard sent someone back to report: "Master Lu, Chieftain Meng Gen, detected our attack, and voluntarily withdrew from Mengban, and retreated to the southwest of Daluo."

    Come on, before the battle was fought, chieftain Meng Gen spit out the occupied territory.

    Of course, it is also possible to lure the enemy deep.

    The inspector continued to go south, stopped in Daluo for two days to rest, and continued to send vanguard troops to the south.

    A few days later, Dao Yinkang, chieftain of Meng Gen, sent an envoy to ask China for forgiveness, willing to submit to China from then on, and sent his eldest son to Nanjing as a hostage.

    "General, you can't believe this man's nonsense," Dao Muqian quickly objected, "Chief Meng Gen has always been insidious. He proclaims his minister today, and the sentence will be rescheduled tomorrow. When the imperial army leaves, Meng Gen's native soldiers will come to occupy the car again."

    Lu Liangqi asked the envoy: "But it's like this?"

    The envoy Meng Gen said: "My lord is sincerely surrendering, and will never rebel again, nor will he invade Che Lisi again."

    Lu Liangqi said: "How can I believe empty words? If Dao Yinkang is really loyal to the court, come to see me in person and meet with me face to face.Dao Yinkang watched his son fall down, covered in wounds, pointed at his younger brother and said, "If you kill me today, you will be killed by the enemy tomorrow. There is no good end for you!"

    Dao Mengsai smiled and said to his elder brother: "Daming in the past, Datong now, the Chinese court is very kind. You are a chieftain, as long as you die, the court will not pursue you. Brother, for the prosperity of the family, you should hurry up  go to hell!"

    "I'll kill you!" Dao Yinkangti Dao rushed over.

    After only a few steps forward, Dao Yinkang was stabbed to death by random guns, and fell to the ground with regret.

    Dao Mengsai took advantage of the situation to occupy the Territorial Office. He said to his son, "You bring hundreds of people and stay here to guard your aunt. I will dedicate it to the court to plead guilty in the future. I will lead the troops to the northeast and open the switch to meet the army of the Celestial Dynasty. From now on  Meng Gensi is the world of our father and son!"

    "Father, don't worry, whether it's the aunt or the chieftain's mansion, the son will take good care of him." Dao Shanpi said happily.

    Among the mountains in the northeast, the inspector had just broken through a checkpoint, and Dao Mengsai led the army to open the second checkpoint to meet him.

    This guy went to see Lu Liangqi alone, knelt down and kowtowed and said: "General Rong Bing, Tusi Dao Yinkang is dead, please take the general to Jingdong to take over Tusi's mansion!"

    "Very good!" Lu Liangqi smiled.

    The chieftain was killed, and the chieftain's younger brother surrendered himself. Could it be possible that the fight continued?

    Of course, in order to obtain the court's forgiveness, Meng Gen's chieftain soldiers had to go with the army to fight Burma, and they had to provide some food and grass for the Datong army.

 Text 866 [Killing Father and Begging for Surrender]

    Jingmai (Chiang Mai), Yaosi once again attracted Chinese envoys.

    Last time it came from the south, but this time it came from the north, and it directly brought the imperial decree.

    The envoy's name is Tu Yan, and he has been issuing imperial edicts with the army.  Meng Gensi surrendered, and further south was the Eight Hundred Division. Tu Yan came with a few soldiers.

    "Why haven't you sent troops yet?" Tu Yan scolded angrily.

    Zhao Lengzhai knelt on the ground: "Angel Rong Bing, the minister is collecting food and gathering troops, and he will definitely be able to send troops next month."

    Zhao Leng Zhai, in fact, can also be called Dao Leng Zhai.

    Bazi is called "Meng", and the leader of a Bazi is "Daomeng".  The name of the village is "Man", and the leader of a village is "Tuoman".

    Dao, that is, the leader.

    After the custom of Han surnames in the Ming Dynasty was passed to the Dai areas, the chieftains took "dao" (刀) as their surname one after another.

    There are also surnames Zhao and Shao, which come from "Zhao" (king).  Dao Mengsai, who killed his brother earlier, usually calls himself "Shao Mengsai".  Meng Gensi's family, as well as Zhao Lengzhai in front of him, are all thinking that they are descendants of the royal family.

    Tu Yan questioned: "You gave the court documents your surname Dao, and privately you called yourself surname Zhao. What is your surname?"

    Zhao Lengzhai replied, "My surname is Dao."

    "If you dare to claim your surname again, I will take back your title of Eight Hundred Dadian Consolation Envoy!" Tu Yan scolded angrily.

    "Don't dare." Zhao Dao Lengzhai kowtowed like garlic.

    Tu Yan ordered unquestionably: "Within five days, gather all the troops and horses, and then attack Burma. If you don't send troops within the time limit, you will bear the consequences!"

    "Yes!" Dao Lengzhai was terrified.

    He claimed to be surnamed Zhao, just to refresh his heart.  He didn't want to fight anyone in the past, he could just keep his one-acre three-point land, but he was sandwiched between several major forces, so he didn't dare to offend anyone easily.

    Now, if you don't offend, you can offend.

    Daolengzhai did not dare to wait until the fifth day of the deadline, and sent troops on the third day.  While sending out troops by himself, he asked the leaders in his jurisdiction to quickly lead the soldiers to follow.

    Although the soldiers of the 800 Division were extremely poor in combat effectiveness, the main force of the enemy army in the area they attacked had been transferred to the north.

    Passing through mountains and valleys, and conquering villages and towns along the way, it turned out that there were no disadvantages.

    After such a smooth march, Dao Lengzhai showed confidence and felt that he was very powerful.

    When the regular division led by Liu Xinyu came to the border of Mengliansi, the situation encountered was similar. Chieftain Menglian not only gave up resistance, but also went to the front line to plead guilty.

    The Eastern Front troops of the Northern Route Army basically did not fight much, and they overwhelmed Che Lisi, Meng Liansi, Meng Gensi and Babaisi.  The coalition forces of the imperial court and chieftains on the east line of the North Road rapidly expanded to nearly 60,000 troops, and they rushed towards Mubang in a mighty manner.

    Historically, the situation of the Qing-Myanmar War was similar, and chieftains from all over the country chose to surrender one after another.

    Qianlong's coquettish operation was that during the Qing-Myanmar War, the imperial court did not force the Burmese chieftain to send troops to help.  After the war ended, the imperial court only conferred chieftains, but never cared about these chieftains ever since.

    "Wenzheng of Yongchang Mansion" records: Put the three divisions aside and let Burma deal with it. You have to say, Burma has been subject to all generations, and there is no other respect. Although the places of Yanggong belong to Burma, they still belong to me.

    ?The translation is: the Manchu Qing court set up chieftains but did not manage them, allowing these chieftains to be disposed of by Myanmar.  It is also plausible to say that Myanmar has been surrendered for generations and is extremely respectful. Although the chieftains in Yanggong and other places are subject to Myanmar, they still obey my Qing Dynasty in the end.

    The current attack target is Mupang, Mupang Tusi, which no longer exists and has been completely annexed by Myanmar.

    The Eight Hundred Division's army attacked from the southeast, the patrol division, Che Lisi, and Meng Gensi's allied forces attacked from the east, and Liu Xinyu's regular division and Meng Liansi attacked from the northeast.  The Burmese army here has less than 5,000 standing troops. Facing the offensive from three sides, they ignored their heads and fled directly to the capital.

    Without any effort, Liu Xinyu occupied the whole Mubang.

    He knew that this was not the main battlefield. The mountains were rolling and undulating, and most of the time was spent marching. It is estimated that when he reached Ava (the capital of Myanmar), the friendly forces had already finished the decisive battle.  The main goal of this road is to subdue those Dai chieftains along the way!

    "Han Zhong, my little minister, kowtow to the Celestial Datong Army, long live long live His Majesty the Emperor of China!"

    Kneeling in front of Liu Xinyu was Hanzhong, the nephew of Mubang Tusi Hangai.

    Before the Mubang chieftain was destroyed, he had been helping the Ming Dynasty to fight.

    Han Zhong's grandfather is Han Qin, and his great-grandfather is Han Jinzhong, both of whom have made military exploits for Daming.  The Han family has been killed by Burma, and now that the Datong Army is here, they finally waited?He got a rope, and Duoche watched from the side, and Duosifa stood on it trembling all over.

    The sound of cannon outside is still going on.

    Duo thought about it several times and hung the rope around his neck, but he was afraid of death and retracted, looking at his chieftain's mansion with great nostalgia.

    Docher finally got impatient, drew his knife and said, "Father, don't waste time!"

    Duosifa gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, hung his neck and kicked his feet, swinging under the eaves.

    Before he had time to verify whether he was dead, Docher took down his father, cut off his head and sent someone out to ask for his surrender.

    "Master General, this is the head of the chieftain. We sincerely surrender this time, please forgive us." The messenger kowtowed tremblingly.

    The teacher, Pan Kai, was unmoved, and still said the same sentence: "Cut it!"

    It was useless to kill his father, Docher finally despaired.

    He was afraid of being hacked to death with knives, and even more afraid that he would not die for a while, so he subconsciously looked at the rope where his father hanged himself.

    "The wall has collapsed!"

    "Run!"

    The news that the wall of the village was blown down made Duo Che make up his mind to hang himself by stepping on a stool.

    The chieftain soldiers guarding the city had already dispersed, looking for a place to escape over the wall.  But there was nowhere to escape at all, and he escaped half a mile at most, and was caught and killed on the spot.

    In the chieftain's mansion, there were bursts of crying and howling.

    Except for women and children under the age of seven (visual inspection), the military order is to execute all of them, and the Datong Army will use this place as a grain and grass transfer station.  Then go down the river and go straight to Meng Mi.

 Text 867 [Win the world's largest jadeite producing area]

    Meng Mi.

    Here is a powder keg. The southwestern border rebellion in the Ming Dynasty was more or less related to Meng Mi. It was the largest jadeite production base at this time.

    Just to give you an example, Emperor Wanli sent mine supervisors and tax envoys across the country, and the chieftain of the Southwest did not escape this encounter.  At that time, the eunuch Yang Rong guarded Yunnan and opened a new emerald mine in Mengmi. Because of the uneven distribution of spoils, a rebellion was directly triggered, and then the miners revolted again.  Chieftain Meng Mi wiped the eunuch's ass and beheaded thousands of people, but he still couldn't calm down.

    The Wanli court decided to send troops to quell the chaos, but they were short of food and money, so they had to give up in the end.  From then on, the chieftains saw Daming's weakness and completely ignored the imperial court. Even chieftain Meng Mi, who wiped the eunuch's buttocks, turned against him.

    At this moment, thousands of miners are standing here and there.

    Si Kuang, chieftain of Meng Mi, put on armor and began to lecture: "The Han people are about to be killed. You also know that the Han people are the most cruel and unreasonable. Now we will organize you into an army. Those who make great achievements will no longer be miners, and those who make small achievements will no longer be miners.  If you can be a foreman, as long as you stay there for a month, the King of Burma will send reinforcements. As long as you stay there for three to five months, the Han people will retreat in summer!"

    One piece of crude weapon after another was distributed to the miners.  There are also some miners who did not receive weapons and continued to use mining tools.

    Many of these miners were robbed slaves, and some were even Han Chinese from Yunnan.

    Although they were exploited by chieftain Meng Mi, they have not yet reached the point of rebellion.  On the contrary, the brutality of Han officials has always been engraved in the genes of the miners, and has become a nursery rhyme handed down from generation to generation.

    The southwestern chieftain's rebellion, half of the blame, should be carried by local officials and eunuchs, and many times they were forced to rebel.

    "If you kill a bandit, you have to live!"

    Sikuang took the lead in yelling a few words, and thousands of miners followed suit.

    Behind Sikuang, there were still more than 2,000 chieftain soldiers standing.  Among them, 800 people are fully armed and armored, which can be called elite.

    Sure enough, the mine owner is still rich.

    Guarding the world's largest emerald base in the 17th century, Chieftain Mengmi has plenty of silver to equip the army.

    However, Sikuang is destined not to wait for reinforcements from Myanmar, because Bhamo, further north, is the real strategic location in northern Myanmar.  King Myanmar's reinforcements are destined to go to Bhamo first.

    More than 200 inspection and anti-smuggling ships were temporarily used as a fleet to transport luggage.  Hundreds of merchant ships conscripted by the people, carrying more than 10,000 inspectors, headed for Chieftain Mengmi's residence in a mighty manner.

    Si Kuang stood at the head of the city, looking at the densely packed ships, he was suddenly shocked and angry.

    I am a little chieftain, do I need so many soldiers to fight?  You have so many soldiers, why don't you start from Tengyue and go directly to the strategic Bhamo?  As long as Bhamo is defeated, the capital of Myanmar can be taken directly down the river!

    It's very simple, there are more troops attacking Bhamo, and they are attacking from both sides of the Dajinsha River and the Daying River.

    "Father, do you want to surrender?" Sihong was already frightened.

    Sikuang said: "You can't surrender. Once you surrender, the emerald mine will be gone. The emperor of Han must send eunuchs to take all our mines."

    After breaking away from Daming, and occupying the mines for only a few decades, Si's chieftain is used to living a rich life, and would rather die in battle than live a life without mines.  How merciful the King of Burma is, he sent some money every year and sent it away. When the Han people came, they would rob the mines.

    Sihong said: "But we can't beat it."

    Si Kuang said: "It's enough to defend the city, as long as you guard it for a month or two, the Burmese king's army will definitely come to rescue."

    Sihongdi said: "There are so many soldiers here to fight. I am afraid that there are more enemy troops on the Bhamo side. The reinforcements of King Myanmar"

    "Don't talk nonsense, defend the city with peace of mind!" Si Kuang scolded.

    Outside the city, the inspectors were already setting up camp, and Dang Sirong, the guide, said: "Master General, there can be at most two or three thousand soldiers in the Mengmi fortress, and if we bring all the miners to defend the city, the strength is only seven or eight thousand.  The artillery of the Celestial Dynasty should be aimed at the southern city wall, which has collapsed before, so it is definitely not as strong as the other sides."

    The teacher Pan Kai smiled and praised: "If you can capture this stronghold, you will be credited with it."

    Si Kuang and Sirong used to be a family.

    ? Their respective grandfathers are named Siren and Sizhong respectively.

    The brothers fought for the throne, Siren won, and Sizhong voted for Myanmar.

    There are also ethical love stories mixed in, Sizhong led the Burmese army to kill, and Siren fled with his mother.  On the way, Siren begged to marry his sister-in-law, Sizhong's wife, but his mother firmly refused.  The mother ran away with her sister-in-law, but Siren actually led the elephant soldiers to chase and kill her, trying to snatch her sister-in-law away from her mother.  Because he didn't get it, Siren also defected to Myanmar in a rage.

    Siren is more popular; Pan Kai once again reiterated the military order: "Don't kill people indiscriminately, take more prisoners, and use them all as miners!"

    Jadeite, which began to emerge in the mid-Ming Dynasty, has been fired at a higher price in recent years. Emperor Zhao likes jadeite.  And Mengmi is the largest producer of jadeite, it is definitely enough to make money here, every miner is a treasure.

    The inspector on this road took down Meng Mi, and after a day's rest, he will set off again.

    The next marching route is to return to the original road by boat first, enter the tributary bend road to the southwest, then abandon the boat and cross the mountains to the west. After leaving the mountain, it is the upper reaches of the Yinrawaddy River.

    As long as the inspectors arrive there, even if they stand still, they will be able to cut off the Bhamo Burmese army's retreat.  If you go north along the river bank, you can cooperate with the two friendly forces to form a three-sided attack on Bhamo.

    Bhamo and its surrounding strongholds were the core battlefield of the Qing-Myanmar War, where the Qing and Burmese armies fought for several years.

    If Huang Yao's army and the Burmese army were in a stalemate, the inspectors who had wiped out Meng Mi would directly take the back road to besiege, blocking the food road and starving the Burmese army to death.

    Pan Kai led the inspectors and marched in the mountains for more than a month. More than 300 soldiers fell ill due to acclimatization.

    Then, on the banks of the Yinrawaddy River, he saw a grain transport ship of the Datong Army.

    "Did Governor Huang win the battle?" Pan Kai stopped the grain ship and asked.

    The captain smiled and said: "A few days ago, Captain Huang's army went south."

    Pan Kai was speechless for a moment, he thought that he would be able to make a great contribution by outflanking the enemy's rear.  But I never thought that my battle was only fought for three days, and the rest of the time was spent on the march, and I didn't even eat a mouthful of hot dog shit in the end.

 Text 868【Surprise attack】

    In order to conquer Burma, Huang Yao prepared in Yunnan for several years.

    In addition to hoarding military rations and training inspectors, they have also been building ships.

    ? The western front troops of the Northern Route Army were dispatched at Tengyue Prefecture (set up after Zhao Han’s reform of land return, and the prefecture is Yingjiang County, Yunnan Province.)

    The main force of the regular division led by Huang Yao started from Jushiguan (near Kachang Town) and went straight to Mengyang along the Bajiang River in Nanzhu.  Another patrol inspector set off from Yingjiang County and headed towards Bamo along the Dayingjiang River.

    Huang Yao's army passed through the border village of Xiaozhanxi, and then came to the actual control site in Myanmar.

    The water flow is turbulent along the way, and the mountains on both sides stand tall, until the confluence of the Nanzhu Bajiang River and the Dajinsha River (the upper reaches of the Irrawaddy River), Myanmar has not set up any checkpoints along the way.

    This kind of good thing benefits from Daming's suppression of chieftains, who are not allowed to build passes on the border.  On Daming's side, there are countless checkpoints, Shenhu Pass, Jushi Pass, Tongbi Pass, Tiebi Pass, Huju Pass, Tianma Pass, Hanlong Pass forming a large area.

    Even Kachang Town and its surrounding areas were deliberately cut out by Daming.  China firmly occupies the upper reaches of the Nanzhu Bajiang River. As long as one day wants to fight, it can go down the river and go straight to Mengyang.  But if Meng Yangsi wants to fight, it is difficult to go this way. Firstly, it is difficult to sail against the current, and secondly, he has to break through Xiongguan.

    It took only a few decades for Myanmar to annex Meng Yangsi, and Ming Dynasty was always in a state of passive defense, so Myanmar was too lazy to build cities and customs on the border.

    Of course, there are more reasons for not building a city.

    After Myanmar annexed Mengyang, it invaded Mupang non-stop, and then attacked other chieftains.  Immediately encountered the Meng National People's Congress uprising, and was counter-killed by Siam.  After quelling the Meng uprising, he fought back against Siam until the capital of Siam.  At this time, the Mon people revolted again, and Myanmar was busy suppressing the rebellion.  A series of wars were riddled with holes. After King Talong succeeded to the throne, he was all recuperating. How could he find the manpower and material resources to build a city in northern Myanmar?

    In just two days, the fleet passed through the mountains, and the first target of attack was Jiajiu City.

    By the way, the second battle of the Qing-Burmese War.  The Qing army went to attack Bhamo, while the Burmese army defended and sent partial divisions to Jiajiu.  In 2000, the Burmese army deviated from the division and counterattacked into China. It was Huang Yao's route that was taken, and the Qing army who was copied from the back was defeated and returned.

    But now the Datong Army sent troops to fight Bhamo and Jiajiu together, and the direction of Jiajiu was still the main force, which was exactly the same as the route of the Qing army's fourth battle.

    Of course, there are differences.

    As soon as the Datong army fleet left the mountain, it was still far away from Jiajiu, so 2,000 Datong army and 100 Dai farmers and soldiers were allowed to land.

    The leader of the Dai peasants and soldiers is called Sizu. About 50 years ago, Sizhen, Siyuan, Sihong, Sizheng a group of Mengyang chieftains were killed by the Burmese army one after another. Only Sizu's father was left with a  More than a thousand people fled back to Daming and lived in Ganya Town, Yingjiang County in later generations.

    ? For Sizu, the Burmese army has a blood feud with him.

    Those chieftains surnamed Si are all from the same family.  One was just killed, the other succeeded, and was killed by the Burmese army, just like cutting leeks.

    "That's right here, stick to the foot of the mountain and go north!" The guide who showed the way was an old man in his sixties.

    The old man, also surnamed Si, was a general of chieftain Mengyang. His whole family was killed when he was in his teens.

    Ma Hongjie said: "Old man, can your body hold up?"

    "Yes, as long as you can get revenge, even death is worth it!" The old man said firmly.

    This surprise attack force was formerly Shizhu Baigan soldiers and Guizhou Tengjia soldiers, and even the generals leading the troops were all grandnephews of Qin Liangyu.  However, the composition of the troops has changed dramatically, with 80% coming from Guizhou and Yunnan.

    The 2,100 people only brought dry food for three days, and they had to walk more than a hundred miles along the foothills and cross three rivers in the middle.

    Fortunately, the marching routes are all flat.

    Huang Yao led the main force, quickly arrived at Jiajiu City, and set up artillery to bombard it indiscriminately.

    The Burmese troops in Mengyangcheng (Myitkyina) and Menggongcheng (Mogang) were all attracted to support.  And the surprise attack force of the Datong Army is to go overland to directly attack Meng Yang, who has been transferred away!

    "There is a river ahead!"

    "The whole army crosses the river!"

    ? The surprise attack troops were traveling day and night, and when they encountered a river in the middle of the night, they jumped directly to swim across it.

    All of them wore rattan armor, which could float up after entering the water, and easily swam to the other side of the river.  After crossing the river, we continued to move forward, and when it was almost dawn, we hid in the mountains and forests on the east side to rest.

    The guide old man in his sixties was exhausted by this kind of rapid march, and he didn't want to get up again when he lay down.

    More than a hundred miles, three rivers, and two nights are all covered.

    &Whoever is strong will follow, first with Ming, then with Burma, then with the Qing army, and return to Burma.

    Tunameng, chieftain of Meng Gong, heard the news of Meng Yang's fall, and instantly knew what choice he should make.  This guy called his son over: "After dark, go to the Han camp secretly, and make an appointment to send troops together tomorrow. When the Han army attacks the Burmese camp, I will take the opportunity to attack from the side, and I will definitely be able to kill the Burmese at that time."  Caught off guard!"

    However, he has no chance of defecting.

    The Datong army that surprised Meng Yang found a few pony horses in the city, and rode to report the news regardless of their fatigue.

    They also caught the fleeing Burmese soldiers on the way and brought them to Huang Yao's barracks.

    Huang Yao said with a smile: "Release these two Burmese soldiers and let them report. The whole army is ready to attack the Burmese army camp in the afternoon!"

    The Burmese army who had just killed a "spies" soon encountered two more "spies".

    "General, I'm not a spy, Meng Yangcheng is really gone"

    "General, I am your soldier"

    Two heads fell to the ground, and the morale of the Burmese army in the camp was all low.

    The businessman who was killed was probably a spy.  But these two reporting soldiers, many of them knew each other, how could they suddenly surrender to the enemy?

    At this moment, the main force of the Datong Army began to move, and the troops slowly moved towards the Burmese army camp.

 Text 869 [Toast's defection]

    "Brother, the Han army is out of camp!" Tunafa, chieftain of Ganma, rushed over.

    Meng Gong Chieftain Tona Meng said: "I know, I just received an order from the Burmese to let our chieftains defend the northern camp."

    Meng Gong belongs to the middle-level chieftain of Mengyang, and there are many small chieftains, such as Ganma, Meng Huan, and Meng Gao, who live in the territory of Menggong chieftain.

    The army under Tuo Nameng's command can be understood as the coalition of chieftains, and the most scumbag chieftain only sent two or three hundred troops.

    As soon as Tonafa heard the name "Burmese", he knew that Tonameng was going to play backstab: "Brother, when will we do it?"

    "It can't be too early, and it can't be too late." Tuo Nameng inherited the rich experience of jumping and rebounding from his ancestors. "If you start too early, we will be seriously injured. If you start too late, you will be easily blamed by the Han generals after the war. Even if you don't blame,  You can’t make a mistake either. Go tell the leaders of the various divisions and let them see my flag, and I will raise the white flag and attack the Burmese army together.”

    "Okay, I'll go right away." Tonafa turned around and left.

    The geographical location of this group of chieftains is very embarrassing, relatively far from the Yunnan border.  However, the dynasty formed by the Burmese could attack them directly from the narrow and long plain in the south.

    If they were steadfast and unyielding to Ming Dynasty, they would be wiped out by Burma before they received reinforcements from Ming Dynasty.  But they will not be loyal to Burma either, because Daming doesn't even need to send troops by itself, and can easily deal with it by directly sending Mengyang chieftain.  Therefore, they have always jumped back and forth repeatedly, which has become a common occurrence.

    The chief general of the Burmese army arrested them fiercely, of course he knew that these chieftains were unreliable.  But he really couldn't do anything, because the main force in northern Myanmar was all piled up on Bhamo's side, and he didn't have enough troops, so he could only rely on these chieftains.

    Meng Dao called his two sons and told him: "Once something bad happens, immediately flee on horseback. Don't flee south along the river, but flee to the southwest, from there you can escape back to Ava."

    The Datong Army dispatched troops too quickly, and the route was precise.

    A block in the direction of Bhamo cut off the connection between Mengyang's northern and southern Burmese troops.  Chen Bing in Jiajiu also cut off the Burmese army in the north of Mengyang and the chieftain in the west.  Whether it's gathering troops or collecting food, the Burmese army has become very troublesome. Now that they have made a surprise attack on Mengyang City, there is basically no suspense in the battle situation.

    The reason why the Datong Army went so smoothly was that apart from its own strength, it also had the advantageous terrain left by Daming.

    The Ming Dynasty set up three declarations and six comforts, and the three declarations all belong to Yunnan, and the six comforts are places like Laos and Myanmar.  The land of the three declarations can control the surrounding area, whether it is mountains or rivers, the Chinese army has the potential to dominate.  In a word, it is very difficult for you to hit me in this kind of broken terrain, but it is easy for me to hit you.

    Just like the army led by Huang Yao, if you don't make a move, it will be fine, and if you make a move, it will grab two throats.

    "Don't go out of the camp, those who disobey the order will be killed, and defend the camp with all your strength!" Meng Zuo dare not go out to fight in the camp, and there is still a slight hope of victory in defending the camp.

    This camp is located at the foot of the mountain, and there is a small river flowing down the mountain.  Usually there is only one beacon tower, but now it has been expanded into a camp, and many deep trenches have been dug around it.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Myanmar's artillery was the first to fire from the mountainside.

    But the number is not many, only a few cannons, and they fire before they enter the range.

    Well, it may also be a test shot.

    ? King Thalong, the hero of Burma, spent 20 years in recuperation. During this period, the Burmese army did not fight much. Even if they fought, it was a small fight, mainly to quell the Mon rebellion in the south.  Now the faint king only knows how to enjoy himself for several years, and the decline of the army is even more serious.

    "Boom!"

    There was a loud noise from the middle of the mountain, and a Burmese army artillery was directly blasted by the test gun.

    Dozens of artillery from the Datong Army were drawn out, which made the Burmese army guarding the village tremble.  On various battlefields in Myanmar alone, the Datong Army dispatched a total of more than 280 artillery pieces, not including the cavalry's use of tiger squat guns.

    If the European monarchs and generals knew about it, they would probably all go crazy. So many cannons are enough for them to fight the war of the whole country.

    The artillery bombarded.

    Burmese army artillery, aimed at Chinese artillery.

    Chinese artillery aimed at the camp of the Burmese army.

    "Brother, hurry up, the Celestial Artillery is really powerful!" Tuo Nafa came to suggest.

    Tuo Nameng said: "You just step back, the artillery of the Celestial Dynasty is bombarding the wall of the village."

    But Tuo Nafa said: "I'm afraid that the wall on our side will collapse first. What if the army of the imperial court attacks us first? It will be too late to turn against us!"

    Tuo Nameng felt that it made sense, gritted his teeth and said, "Then do it in advance!"

    The two sides were still firing artillery, and the camp where the chieftain army was located suddenly shouted and killed, and launched an attack on the Burmese army without warning.

    &?Go straight to Bhamo.

    The one who attacked here was also an inspector.  Leaving Tiebiguan is the boundary of Manmu. Chieftain Manmu was so frightened that he surrendered immediately, and soon arrived at the confluence of Dajinsha River and Daying River (Ganli Village).

    ?Because the Datong inspectors dispatched troops too quickly, the Burmese army did not react, and the siege of Ganlizhai was broken within two days. After that, the Burmese army did not even dare to defend Xinjie, and retreated directly to Laoguantun to gather together.

    Laoguantun is the kaungton of Myanmar in later generations.

    As long as you win here, you can take a boat across the mountains and go straight to Ava, the capital of Myanmar.

    Historically, the Qing army fought against Burma for several years, and the strategic goal was to take Laoguantun.  In the end, tens of thousands of people were mobilized, and a 3,000-jin cannon was specially cast, with 80 mountain-splitting cannons (long-barreled cannons), a large number of nine-section cannons (detachable light cannons), and many sky cannons (mortar cannons).  Going hand in hand, he also sent a partial teacher to follow Mupang around the back.

    However, in the Laoguantun city village in Myanmar, the walls of the village are all wooden fences, which cannot withstand shelling at all, and the number of troops is seriously insufficient.

    This should have been a battle without suspense.

    But in real fighting, the whole process was so difficult to vomit, it was so weird to the limit.

    First of all, the Qing army prepared for a full year, and they didn't know why they prepared, but they chose to send troops in the hot and humid rainy season.

    How do you do intelligence work?

    This is not just coming to Myanmar, but I have been fighting for several years, and it is too nonsense not to avoid the rainy season.

    When the main force of the Qing army was on the march, a large number of soldiers, livestock and war horses fell ill and died.  After finally reaching Jiajiu City, the Burmese army here had already received the news and ran away early.

    The heavy rain poured down, the river swelled sharply, and the flow was so fast that the Qing army could only stop advancing.

    After finally getting through the rainy season, it has already exceeded the scheduled joint attack period by 50 days.

    The ghostly appearance of the main force of the Qing army was even worse on the side of the division. During the rainy season, they had to cross mountains and ridges, which not only caused a large number of non-combat attrition, but also made it impossible to transport food and grass.  When these guys arrived at their destination, only half of the ships had been built by the troops that set out to build the ships earlier, and the Deputy Imperial Envoy who was in charge of the shipbuilding had already died of malaria.

    A surprise attack that had been planned for a year turned into a head-on battle in a daze.

    After this situation was over, the navy of the Qing army went to make a surprise attack. The guerrillas of the navy were ambushed halfway, and were shot dead by the Burmese army hiding on the shore.

    Moreover, the navy didn't even know the situation of the nearby river, and when they rushed to the battlefield, they ran aground in various ways

    Tian Chen, the head of the inspection division who successfully captured Bhamo, said: "Commander, according to Xizuo and merchants, after the Dajinsha River passed through Bhamo, the flow rate suddenly slowed down when it encountered a sharp bay. The rivers around Laoguantun have  A large amount of sediment has accumulated, and our army is not familiar with the situation, so we should not rashly go there by boat."

    "How are you going to fight?" Huang Yao asked.

    Tian Chen said: "Don't rush to attack by boat, and march carefully along the shore. From here to Laoguantun, there are mostly low hills, just guard against enemy ambushes."

    "You're right, you can't take risks." Huang Yao agreed with this suggestion.

    Why is it said that Laoguantun is difficult to fight? There are sandbars everywhere in the nearby river, and the underwater is also heavily silted up, and the navigable channel is very narrow.  If you are not an old helmsman who has been running the ship for many years, you may run aground when you drive over, and then you will be a living target for the Burmese navy.

 Text 870 [collapse at the touch of a button]

    The distance from Bhamo to Laoguantun is not far, only about forty or fifty miles.

    The terrain is not rugged, only some low hills.  But the forest is very dense, with thorns and bushes, and there are a lot of ponds, and the riverside is full of reeds and other plants.

    The melee soldiers opened the way with long-handled hatchets, cutting down thorns and vines along the way.

    Several squads of rattan armored soldiers, with a small number of musketeers, walked further ahead to explore the road, wading over without avoiding the thorns.

    Huang Yao squatted down and picked up a handful of soil, and said with emotion: "Although the soil is mostly sand, it can still grow crops. Why don't these barbarians know how to cultivate it?"

    The guide explained: "General, when the water rises in the rainy season, a large area of ??the river will be flooded. If the amount of water is particularly large, it can even flood the forest. Farming is indeed not as good as the upstream area."

    "fart!"

    Huang Yao glanced at the river, and looked around at the surrounding terrain: "Although this is a sharp bay, the flood recedes very slowly. But from the reed field to the woods, the terrain does not rise much. As long as we build an embankment by the river, it will definitely stop the flood.  Yes. I have seen many embankments in Jiangxi, and building embankments here is no more difficult than building embankments on the Ganjiang River."

    The guide was a Han businessman, and he was speechless after hearing this.

    Those embankments in Jiangxi did not form a system until the Ming Dynasty, and they were always plagued by floods for thousands of years.

    What is the development level of Jiangxi?  What is the degree of development here?  Is it interesting to compare the two?

    Huang Yao said: "After the war, the Ming court had to be ordered to send people from the Ministry of Industry to investigate. First, the Ministry of Households immigrated here, and the Ministry of Industry came up with a water conservancy plan. As long as the dams along the river were built, from the upper reaches of Mengyang to here, along the valley of the river  It will definitely be fertile for thousands of miles.”

    It is not possible to travel thousands of miles across the fertile fields, because there are many mountains beside the river.

    But the river valley here is indeed a good place.  For more than a thousand years, many local governments have been born, all of which rely on these valleys to grow food.

    The barren scene that Huang Yao saw belonged to a kind of agricultural retrogression.  Over the past few decades, Myanmar has plundered too many people, and the local chieftains have also attacked each other. The king of Myanmar has also conscripted a large number of corvees in recent years.  All these have caused the population in northern Myanmar to drop sharply, the arable land area to shrink, and many river valleys to become primitive.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    Gunshots rang out in the woods ahead, and without Huang Yao's order, the officers of various ministries had already moved into action.

    After a while, the officer in front came back and reported: "Captain, the brothers who explored the road encountered an ambush. One person was killed and six were injured. We killed five enemy soldiers and captured three alive. The rest of the enemy army fled. The enemy army is more familiar with  The terrain makes it difficult to chase and kill. And I was afraid that there would be a large Burmese army ambushing in front, so I stopped the pursuit."

    "Understood, move on." Huang Yao nodded.

    The Burmese army did set up an ambush, trying to lure the Datong army over.

    Seeing that the Datong Army did not fall into the trap, the Burmese army had no choice but to retreat, watching the main force of the Datong Army advance slowly.

    The journey was less than fifty miles, and it took four days to walk through it all the way.

    Of course, there are also reasons for guarding against the Burmese army. The soldiers always protect the food transport team and do not give the Burmese any chance to sneak attack.

    ?The Burmese army defending Laoguantun has more than 4,000 elite soldiers, and there are thousands of rubbish troops from Burmese noble private soldiers, peasant troops, and chieftain soldiers.  More could have been mobilized, but Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan blossomed in the center of the hinterland of Myanmar, and most of the main force of the Burmese army was assembled in Awa.

    The Burmese army planning to encircle Ding Jiasheng has gathered not only two-thirds, but three-quarters of the elite of the whole Burmese.

    "When the Han soldiers fought like this, they didn't sit on boats, and they couldn't be fooled by setting up ambushes. How do you say to fight?" Mang Zhen, the chief general of the old official Tun Burma Army, summoned his generals to ask for advice.

    No one answered.

    Everyone wanted to escape, but they were afraid of being punished.

    Guess where Wu Sangui in history led his troops to capture Emperor Yongli?  Only sixty miles away from the capital of Myanmar!

    The Burmese army can't even stop Wu Sangui, how could it be able to stop the Datong army?

    Of course, what Wu Sangui faced was the Burmese army who had been harmed by the Burmese king for more than ten years.  What the Datong army faced was only the Burmese army that had been harmed by the Burmese king for several years.  At this time, the combat effectiveness of the Burmese army was slightly stronger.

    As for the subsequent Qing-Myanmar War, it had nothing to do with the quality of soldiers.

    ? At that time, the Qing army planned to fight a decisive battle, and specially transferred elites from the Eight Banners.

    ? When the troops were withdrawn, Agui sent a memorial to Qianlong, with a list attached

    There were 3,008 people in the Eight Banners Army's Sauron team: 12 were killed, 2 drowned, and 5 officers and soldiers died of injuries.  In China, 50 officers and soldiers died of illness; in Myanmar, 1820 officers and soldiers died of illness.

    The Oroqen Team of the Eight Banners Army has a total of 300 people."

    Hei Ludao originally lowered his head to speak, but suddenly raised his head at this moment: "Your Majesty's head is still needed!"

    "What?" Mang Da thought he had heard wrong.

    Hei Ludao said: "If you don't change the Burmese king, how can you explain to the Chinese emperor?"

    Mang Da finally panicked: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming"

    The palace guards didn't come in, but the king's younger brother Mangbai did.

    The teenager, who was only in his teens, said respectfully: "Brother, for the sake of Myanmar and Awa, please abdicate."

    "You, you, you" Mang Da stood up and backed away, then ran towards the side door.

    Just as he was about to escape, a few spears suddenly stabbed outside the door, and the dignified Burmese king died just like that.

    Hei Lutao didn't even bother to look at the corpse, so he said to Mangbai: "Please send envoys to send out, and the siege of the enemy army on the south road must not be relaxed. We must urge all the ministries to march quickly and completely trap the enemies in Bagan. We can destroy them."  That kind of enemy army is the best, if it cannot be eliminated, those enemy troops are also hostages."

    Mangbai asked: "If the Han army is wiped out, will the Chinese emperor be furious?"

    Hei Ludao said: "Your Majesty, you are the new King of Myanmar. You must remember that you have to be able to kneel and beg for peace, and you must show your fangs."

    "Cough cough cough!"

    Suddenly, an official of the Privy Council ran over and coughed anxiously outside the hall.

    Hei Ludao walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

    The official of the Privy Council said: "Tungoo City sent an urgent report that Siam has captured Bago. Also, Chieftain Meng Yang and Meng Ya asked for help. They also have enemies over there!"

    Hei Ludao, who was confident just now, was dumbfounded when he heard it.

    Except for the west, the other directions are full of enemy troops. How many people did the Chinese emperor send here?

    Mangbai also panicked: "What should I do?"

    Hei Lu hesitated for a while, and said: "Please surrender is impossible. The Chinese emperor has made such a big battle, just to destroy our country. Please, Your Majesty, call all the troops, and eat all the troops in the south.  The enemy. We can only go southwest and lead the army to retreat into the Arakan Mountains in the west of the Rakhine Mountains. Then, wait for the weather to get hot. As long as the weather gets hot, the Germans will die of heat, and then lead the army  The army kills back to Ava!?

 Text 871 [The Decisive Battle Begins]

    The South Route Army led by Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan camped directly on the other side of Bagan City.

    The city of Bagan in front of you, like the city of Pyay that you bypassed before, is the capital of the ancient dynasty of Myanmar.

    In Myanmar, the Mon people established a dynasty for a while, the Burmese established a dynasty for a while, and the Dai people established a dynasty for a while.  No matter which dynasty it is, after the power is strong, it will frantically build capitals and temples, and gather the power of the whole country to build a city.

    There are a total of 12 city gates in Bagan City, and the height and thickness of the city walls are about the same as those of the state cities in China.

    The strong attack can definitely be defeated, but it must take more than two months.

    Two months is enough for the North Road Datong Army to kill, why sacrifice the lives of the soldiers to attack?  Just set up camp here, attract the Burmese army, and make the enemy sleepless, wouldn't it?

    I also thought about besieging the city and fighting for aid, but it was really unrealistic.

    One is that there is a lack of intelligence network, and it is impossible to detect the movements of the enemy's various reinforcements based on a few careful operations; the other is that this is an elite place in Myanmar, where rice fields are everywhere, and it is difficult for cavalry to exert their mobility, and it is also difficult to inquire about the enemy's situation from a long distance;  The third is that the Burmese reinforcements are very careful and do not come directly to Bagan City for rescue, but gather in the upstream and downstream cities of Bagan City.

    The Irrawaddy River has a sharp bay in Bagan City, and the fertile flat land is alluvial on the other side.

    The Datong army camped on that flat land, with towering mountains behind, a wide river in front, and tributaries flowing into the river on the side.  There are mountains on one side and water on both sides, forming an open triangle.

    The cavalry was divided into several teams and patrolled the banks of the tributaries. No matter where the Burmese army came from, they could quickly attack it.

    Ding Jiasheng squatted on the ridge of the field, stroked the rice leaves and asked, "When will this rice be harvested?"

    The Mon guide said: "From transplanting to harvesting, the short period is three months, and the long period is four months, depending on the rain and the weather."

    "The rice in Myanmar grows so fast?" Ding Jiasheng was quite surprised.

    Surprised, Ding Jiasheng laughed again: "Then I don't have to worry about military rations. When the food and grass in my hand are finished, I will go to the river to harvest rice and taste the taste of this new Burmese rice."

    Near the camp of the Datong Army, there are many rice fields.

    And the Ayeyarwady River and its tributaries, the banks are also full of rice fields, and whoever wins the battle will harvest it.

    Even the fortifications built by the Datong Army on the riverside came from stepping on the rice fields.  First drain the water in the field, step on all the rice, dig out the silt and pile it on the field ridge, and the soldiers step on the collapsed rice.

    More than 1,000 ships were all moored by the river, their baggage had been moved ashore, and a large amount of firewood was piled up in the ships.

    At critical times, the ship can be set on fire to prevent the Burmese army from landing.

    Yang Zhan personally boarded the hot air balloon to observe, and did not come down until the fuel was burned out.

    Ding Jiasheng asked: "Old Yang, what happened to the enemy?"

    Yang Zhan answered irrelevantly: "The pagodas in the city are beautifully built. If the Burmese put all their energy into building pagodas and use them all to strengthen the city walls, I wouldn't even have the slightest intention to attack the city."

    "For a long time, have you been admiring the scenery from above?" Ding Jiasheng couldn't laugh or cry.

    Yang Zhan said: "Otherwise, what else can we do? The enemy army is gathering more and more, but they dare not cross the river to attack. They are just wasting their lives every day."

    Inside and outside Bagan City, there are Buddhist temples and pagodas everywhere. The tallest pagoda is more than 50 meters long.

    Even on the side where the Datong army camped, there are Buddhist temples and pagodas on the mountain behind the camp.  The monks in the temple were all controlled. While preventing them from making trouble, they were asked to help dig ditches and build low walls by the way.

    The existence of a large number of Buddhist temples, pagodas, and monks shows that this area is extremely rich, otherwise there would not be so much food to support the monks.

    Just when the Datong Army on the North Road, under the leadership of Huang Yao, arrived at Taigong City by boat, Burmese King Mangbai had already personally marched to Bagan City.

    The Burmese army is elite, with a total of 30,000 people.

    There are also private soldiers led by nobles and peasants recruited by nobles, numbering as many as 160,000.

    This has not yet reached the limit of the Burmese army. Decades ago, Burma dispatched a full 300,000 troops to annex Mupang.

    Hei Ludao stood on the wall of Bagan, ascending to observe the situation of the Datong Army.  This product also has a telescope, which was obtained from the Portuguese. After observing it carefully for a long time, I was so depressed that I wanted to scold my mother.

    "Can it be shot down?" Mangbai asked.

    Hei Lutao shook his head and said, "It's difficult. The mountains are too high and steep to go around. The river is too wide to cross. The only place where we can attack is the tributary on the northeast side, but the enemy has built many low walls beside the river.  , there are deep ditches blocking the front and back of the low wall. The passage by the river,bsp; Seeing that the Datong Army remained silent, the Burmese Army became more and more excited, and more and more people successfully landed.

    Finally, the Burmese army on a river beach has gathered nearly 2,000 people.  The aristocratic landlords who led the troops felt that they could do it, so they arranged the melee soldiers in front, holding shields to defend against bows and arrows, while the archers followed behind.

    The earth walls of the Datong Army were short and fragile, and could easily be breached.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    Six tiger squatting guns fired at nearly 2,000 Burmese troops.  At a distance of tens of meters, iron sand, lead sand, and gravel flew out like celestial maidens.

    ? Hundreds of people fell down on the spot, and hundreds of Burmese soldiers were crying and shouting. The shields in the front row were useless.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    "On the bayonet!"

    The musketeers followed with a volley and rushed out with bayonets in hand.

    These Burmese troops have been beaten, and the noble landlords who led the troops were also hit by iron sand, screaming in pain, turning around and running away.

    When the Datong army caught up, only two or three hundred Burmese soldiers were on board.  A large number of Burmese troops were squeezed into the water, and hundreds of Burmese troops were blocked on the river bank. They had completely lost their organization and jumped into the river to escape for their lives facing bayonets.

    Hei Ludao looked stupid on the other side, and the Datong Army's fighting style completely refreshed his three views.

    On the river beaches everywhere, the Burmese army was all defeated.

    Hei Ludao can only be thankful that he didn't let the real elite cross the river, and no matter how many miscellaneous troops die, he doesn't feel bad.

    "This kind of warfare is useless no matter how many of us there are." Mian Wang Mangbai muttered to himself, feeling extremely terrified in his heart.

    The nearly 200,000 Burmese army can only use refueling tactics when encountering such broken terrain.  Even if tens of thousands of people are allowed to cross the river in one go, they will still be crowded on the river beach as targets until the ammunition of the Datong Army is exhausted.

    Yang Zhan in the north, hearing the lively fighting in the south, became more and more convinced that the enemy would sneak across.

    His place is the easiest to cross the river, and the Burmese army is not stupid, so how could they ignore it?

    "elephant!"

    The lookout on the hot air balloon shouted.

    More than 300 war elephants and thousands of elite Burmese troops emerged from the woods.

    Yang Zhan said with a smile: "It's finally here, hit halfway, and hit again when you get closer. ?

 Text 872 [Horse riding joint venture]

    Let me tell you an interesting fact. In the Yuan-Myanmar War hundreds of years ago, the Burmese army took the lead in entering the border of Yunnan.

    At that time, Kublai Khan sent envoys to appease Myanmar, and the King of Burma also sent envoys to Dadu.  For the next two years, the Burmese did not come to pay tribute, so Kublai Khan sent envoys to urge them.

    The envoys of the Yuan Dynasty never returned. According to historical records in Myanmar, the envoys of the Yuan Dynasty refused to take off their boots and were executed when they met the King of Burma.

    Chieftain Ahe felt something was wrong, so he took the initiative to surrender to the Yuan Dynasty.

    The king of Burma was furious, and sent more than 40,000 troops and 800 war elephants, chasing Ahe all the way to Yunnan.  A thousand Mongolian households led 700 cavalry to help, divided into three teams, and attacked halfway across the river. The Burmese army was in chaos.

    In this way, 700 cavalry of the Yuan army faced more than 40,000 Burmese troops and 800 war elephants.  They chased and killed for more than 30 miles, and did not stop until the main general of the Yuan army was injured.

    Only one Yuan army died, not yet in battle.  Instead, he captured a war elephant. He couldn't figure out the elephant's temper, and was trampled to death by the elephant.

    At this moment, more than 300 war elephants and thousands of elite Burmese troops rushed to the small river.

    ?The generals of the Burmese army who were ambushing further downstream saw that the war elephant troops had successfully attacked, and led 30,000 Burmese troops to rush out carrying small boats and bamboo rafts.

    All the Burmese troops encountered by Ding Jiasheng belonged to the "Sheep Attack" troops.  Seeing the lively fighting downstream, the Burmese felt that many of the Datong Army upstream should have been transferred there, and brazenly launched an attack similar to a decisive battle.

    The upstream river channel was originally narrow, only more than ten meters wide. With so many Burmese troops crossing the river at once, the river surface was densely piled up.

    The main force of the Burmese army's artillery team is also concentrated here, with more than 30 artillery pieces firing wildly towards the Datong army's position.

    "Boom boom boom boom!"

    The artillery positions of the Datong Army in the upper reaches are all arranged on the mountainside. The angle was adjusted 20 days ago, and as long as the artillery is fired, it will hit the middle of the river.

    When a shell falls, there is a high probability that it will hit the boat or bamboo raft directly.  Even if it misses, it can overturn boats and bamboo rafts.

    A large number of Burmese troops were blocked in the river, and the scene was chaotic.

    The war elephants further upstream had already entered the water, stepping forward on the bottom of the river, followed by thousands of elite Burmese troops in small boats.

    "Moo Ang"

    The continuously falling shells made the war elephant restless and roared.

    Elephants are very smart animals. After sensing danger, they are resolutely unwilling to move forward, and some even turn around automatically to escape.

    "Boom!"

    A shell entered the water and hit the elephant's leg underwater.

    The elephant finally went berserk and rammed sideways.

    "Raise the gun!"

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    At a distance of tens of meters, a row of guns aimed at the war elephant.  Although it was not easy to kill, the war elephants were beaten to the point of pain and madness, and the shells kept falling. Half of the more than 300 war elephants lost their minds.

    The Burmese army following behind was the first to be unlucky, and the boats and bamboo rafts on the river were knocked down one after another.

    "The cavalry obey the order, abandon the firearms and medicine bags, and follow me across the river to hunt down!"

    Yang Zhan has gray hair, but his arrogance is still the same as before.  He handed over the position to the lieutenant general and ordered the lieutenant general to organize the infantry to cross the river.  Then he led the horse and rushed out. The horse could swim, and the soldiers helped the horse to swim across the river together.

    More than 3,000 cavalrymen quickly swam across a river more than ten meters wide.

    Yang Zhan got on his horse, drew his sword and shouted: "Kill!"

    The more than 30,000 Burmese troops here have collapsed, especially the few thousand elites who were driven out of their wits by their own war elephants.  They originally fled downstream along the bank, but when they saw the Datong army chasing them, they lost their last sliver of reason.

    Hundreds of infantrymen of the Datong Army took off their clothes and went into the river, pushed back the boats and bamboo rafts in the river, and supported the main force of the infantry of the Datong Army across the river to hunt them down.

    Not long after, all the troops of a regular division crossed the river, and the Mon servants also rushed behind.

    In order to confuse the Datong army and hide his active direction, Hei Ludao divided more than 100,000 people into several piles and arranged them to camp in various places along the river.

    This kind of long snake array has now become the way to death.

    The defeated Burmese army was chased to the nearest camp, where many of the Burmese troops were by the river.  After being rushed by the rout soldiers, and seeing Datong cavalry chasing after him, he subconsciously turned his head and ran away, and ran towards Bagan City.

    Such an escape route is tantamount to continuing to attack the Burmese army positions ahead.

    In less than half an hour, Yang Zhan led more than 3,000 cavalry and smashed three Burmese army camps and positions one after another.  The Burmese army was crushed, covering the sky and covering the earth, with a total of 50,000 to 60,000 people fleeing.

    Seeing this, Ding Jiasheng in the downstream also seized the opportunity to order: "Raise the artillery!; When the envoy returned to the city, Mang Bai became at a loss.

    Hei Ludao said: "If you send envoys out at night and pay a lot of money to bribe the generals of the Han army, there may be a glimmer of life."

    "That's right, that's right, give them all the money, if it's not enough, send it from Ava." Mang Bai said quickly.

    This over-teen-year-old Burmese King has always been intelligent and steady.

    But after all, he has never experienced major events, and now he is trapped in the city, and the country may be ruined at any time, so he immediately becomes timid and afraid of death.

    In the evening, the troops were withdrawn and returned to camp.

    "General, I have captured Xi Zuo, claiming to be the envoy of King Burma!"

    "bring it here."

    This envoy can also speak Chinese, and when he met, he prostrated himself on the ground: "My king is willing to open the city and surrender, and please ask the general to speak a few words to the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty. The land of the chieftain in the north can be returned to China, and then China will be compensated."  Gold and silver treasures. If the royal family can be kept, my king is willing to give the general a thousand taels of gold and fifty thousand taels of silver."

    Ding Jiasheng blinked at Yang Zhan, and then looked delighted: "Ahem, this gold and silver is not enough."

    The messenger said: "Then add three hundred taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver."

    "How unreasonable!"

    Yang Zhan got up angrily: "Why only give him money? What about my share? If I don't have money to take, the royal family of Burma will die!"

    "Yes, yes, this general also has it!" The messenger said quickly.

    "How much can I get?" Yang Zhan asked.

    The envoy wanted to say that you should share the money equally, but he was afraid of offending Yang Zhan, so he answered bravely, "This villain wants to go back and ask for instructions."

    "Go, go!" Yang Zhan urged.

    When the envoy left, Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan looked at each other and laughed, and ordered the craftsmen accompanying the army to speed up the construction of the siege ladder.

    The envoy returned to the city and told the situation in detail: "There are two generals of the Han people, and tens of thousands of taels of silver is not enough. The chief general is very young, and his eyes lit up when he heard that there was silver.  He wants money himself, but if he can’t get it, the royal family will all die.”

    The next day, the envoy continued to come over to negotiate the price.

    Finally, it was agreed that Ding Jiasheng would be given 1,500 taels of gold and 60,000 taels of silver, and Yang Zhan would be given 1,200 taels of gold and 50,000 taels of silver.  Since there is not so much gold and silver accompanying the army, I will give 50,000 taels of silver as a deposit first, and the rest will be shipped from the capital Ava.

    After negotiating the price, Mangbai and Heiludao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

    Then, send troops to search the city and rush into the homes of rich families to extort money.

    The soldiers took the opportunity to blackmail, and at least half of the gold and silver they obtained were distributed privately, and it was difficult to get tens of thousands of taels of silver together.  The people in the city are miserable and full of resentment.

    However, the Burmese defenders are becoming more and more relaxed, jealous that those search troops can make money.

    More and more Burmese troops, without orders to make money, are extorting money in the name of the king under the leadership of middle-level officers.

    The entire city of Bagan was polluted by the army.

    Just at this time, two consecutive fast boats sailed from the north to report.

    The messenger was intercepted by the Datong Army, and Huang Yao's main force had already reached Xingu, Anzhengguo City.  And the inspectors on the east route of the North Road, with the chieftain allied forces, had already approached Meimiao City.

    The Burmese army in Anzhengguo City, relying on the defense of the city, blocked Huang Yao under the city.

    Meimiao's side is the chieftain army, which originally belonged to the chieftain of Mubang.  When encountering the joint army of inspectors, they surrendered without saying a word, and even served as a guide for the Chinese army.  It is only 200 miles away from Awa, the capital of Myanmar, but they cannot take a boat and have to climb over the mountains. It takes about half a month to reach the city of Awa.

    "Let these messengers go," Ding Jiasheng said with a smile, "tell King Myanmar that General Ben is going to increase the price, and ask him to pay another ten thousand taels of silver.?

 Text 873 [Emperor Zhao, a Good Man and a Faithful Woman]

    "Another ten thousand taels?"

    Mangbai, king of Myanmar, was temporarily raised. His first reaction was not to be angry, but to ask: "The two Chinese generals, will the price increase be 10,000 together, or 10,000 each?"

    The person who came to spread the word was the secret agent of the Yunnan Institute of the National Security Council, who had been in Myanmar with merchants for several years.  This detailed work quickly caught up with King Burma's thinking, and he quickly said: "A general raised the price by 10,000 taels. Our army has strict discipline and is not allowed to collect money in private. The friendly troops from the north and east are almost coming. The two generals need  More money to manage."

    "I understand, I understand." Mangbai immediately understood that the situation had changed. The more troops killed, the more generals needed to be settled with money.

    You have to hurry up and search for money, otherwise the Datong army will kill all of them, and you won't have so much money to redeem yourself.

    Damn it, because Yu Jia's personal conquest left in a hurry, he didn't bring any goods from the capital.  The Chinese general didn't trust us, so he insisted on paying a deposit of tens of thousands of taels here, otherwise, when we returned to the capital, wouldn't we be able to collect all the money easily?

    Mangbai rolled his eyes and asked, "Can treasures be used to deduct gold and silver?"

    "What treasure?" Xi Zuo asked back.

    "Thirty-six Tripitakas written by Bayeux, and a large number of eminent monks' relics." Mang Bai blurted out.

    Xizuo was dumbfounded. He came to this city with merchants and knew what these Buddha treasures meant.  Subconsciously replied: "It should be able to deduct gold and silver."

    Mangbai thought for a while, and then said: "These scriptures and relics are taken as collateral. When I return to Ava City, I will redeem them with more gold and silver."

    "Yes, yes." Seisaku nodded again and again.

    Although there are many old capitals in Myanmar, Bagan City is definitely the oldest one.

    It is the capital of the Anuluddha Dynasty in Myanmar, which was the first unified dynasty in Myanmar including the Burmese, Shan, Meng and other ethnic groups.  The large and small Buddhist temples in the city have been built for more than two hundred years, and there are more than 13,000 pagodas in total.  It is said that there are 4.44 million pagodas in a radius of hundreds of miles outside the city, so Bagan is also known as "the city of four million pagodas".

    Later, when Western colonists came here, only more than 2,000 Buddhist pagodas in Bagan were destroyed, and countless Buddhist treasures disappeared.

    Previously, they only searched for rich merchants in the city, and the soldiers did not dare to attack the temple.

    Now under the order of the King of Myanmar, the Burmese army rushed into the thirty-six largest temples, forcing the monks to hand over the Beiye scriptures and relics collected in the temple.

    When the news came out, the crowd was excited.

    Even many nobles and generals were full of resentment and anger towards King Myanmar.  They do not object to the search for wealthy businessmen, and even actively participate in it, but they must not disturb the temple, let alone hand over the Buddhist treasures.

    "It is impossible for us to win. Bagan City will be breached sooner or later."

    "We can't let Mangbai continue to be the king. Mangda has been the king for a few years and forced us to pay more tribute. If Mangbai returns to Ava alive and continues to be his king, he will definitely increase the tribute. Otherwise, where will he come from?"  money and food to rule the country?"

    "That is, the tribute tax has increased year after year, and it cannot be increased in the future."

    "Mangbai disrespected the Buddha, he is not qualified to be a king anymore!"

    "There is also Hei Ludao, who controls the court and the king. His family members not only extort money from their own lands, but also extend their hands to other people's lands. This treacherous official who has brought disaster to the country and the people cannot be allowed to live any longer.  "

    ""

    It is true that Hei Ludao has prestige in the court, and it is true that he has connections in the Burmese army.  But more than 100,000 soldiers were killed in the First World War, and the prestige was gone, and the military began to question this person's ability.

    The most important thing is that the city is besieged by the Datong army. I heard that the capital will also be attacked.  These aristocratic generals in Myanmar must push one or two people out to take the blame, maybe they can get the forgiveness of the Chinese emperor, and maybe they can keep their own fiefs.

    As for the ones who are responsible, Mangbai, King of Burma, and Hei Ludao, the treacherous minister, are also counted as one.

    Before Mangbai had time to send out the Bayeux Sutra and the relics, dozens of noble generals had already connected in series.

    "Catch the tyrant alive!"

    "Kill the traitor!"

    The noble generals led the army and came from all directions, mingling with the guards of Mang Bai and Hei Rudao.

    The Burmese army who was still guarding the city was tense by the shouts of killing in the city, and stood on the city wall completely unaware of what happened.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The musketeers used in this infighting were crackling, and the movement could be heard even outside the city.

    "Is this a fight?" Ding Jiasheng was a little surprised.

    Yang Zhan also couldn't laugh or cry: "Let's take the opportunity to attack the city."

    &nb?People who believe in Buddhism, so leave a Beiye Sutra, please go back to Baoen Temple in Nanjing to enshrine, I hope the master can understand.  We don't take it in vain. These treasures and food will be left in your temple to worship the Buddha.  "

    "Amitabha, it is the will of the Buddha that the Bayeux Sutra can be enshrined by His Majesty!" The abbot is indeed a great monk.

    Was the Buddha treasure taken back for nothing?

    of course not.

    Cannibals have short mouths and soft hands.

    These temples sent monks to publicize the good deeds of the Datong Army everywhere.  He also said that the military disaster was caused by the king of Burma, and the king of Burma and his treacherous ministers should bear the blame for all the crimes.

    After some operations, the people and soldiers in the city felt that the Datong Army was a good person who respected Buddha.  The Chinese emperor, who was far away in Nanjing, received the Buddha's will and sent troops to punish the Burmese tyrant.

    Mangda, king of Burma, has already harmed the people for several years, and the ruling and opposition parties have long complained about him.

    Now everything is straightened out, the Burmese king is a tyrant, and the Buddha issued a decree for the Chinese emperor to send troops to conquer.

    No matter how many people died, it was all caused by King Myanmar!

    Burmese soldiers and civilians firmly believe what the monks said.

    Bagan City is the religious center of Myanmar, and these remarks will definitely spread in the future.  No matter how fierce the fighting is here, it is the nobles who are doing the crimes, China and the Emperor of China are always good.?

 Text 874 [Pingnan Military and Civil Mansion]

    "The coalition forces of Siam and Mon have captured Toungoo City." Ding Jiasheng took out a military letter with a strange smile. "The Burmese in Toungoo City have been killed, and there are piles of corpses inside and outside the city. The five people there  Hundreds of fellow troops are ordering the Siamese and Mon people to collect and burn their bodies to prevent a plague from breaking out when the weather gets warmer."

    Yang Zhan sighed: "What a big enmity."

    Ding Jiasheng said: "In the past hundred years, Siam has been surrounded by the capital many times, and the capital has even fallen twice. The Mon people have been oppressed for a long time, and they were slaughtered every time they revolted. This time they find an opportunity, they must want to  blood for blood."

    Taungoo City is the old capital of the Taungoo Dynasty in Myanmar. It has been less than 30 years since the capital was moved. There are a large number of Burmese nobles living there.

    It is estimated that 20,000 to 30,000 Burmese people in the city were slaughtered.

    In addition, in the entire lower Burma region, the Burmese landlords who did not have time to escape were almost killed.  Even if they ran away, the land was taken away, and many Burmese farmers became slaves, while the Mon slaves were freed.

    Ding Jiasheng sent an order to be taken to Dongyu by the envoy.

    Taungoo City.

    Yang Dongkui asked: "What did the general of the Celestial Dynasty say?"

    The king then sighed, "Oh, General Ding told me to withdraw, saying that the war in the north is over."

    Yang Dongkui said in relief: "Your Highness, it's fine to withdraw the troops, this time we have already gained a lot."

    Siam did gain something this time, and took the opportunity to take down two big cities, as well as a large coastal area of ??Myanmar's land in the Malay Peninsula, and all the south of Mautamyan was swallowed up by Siam.

    In addition, Siam also grabbed a lot of property.

    The Siamese and Mon allied forces robbed casually along the way, and the five hundred fellow troops were too lazy to take care of it, and they couldn't do it at all.  But half of the things they snatched must be handed over to the Datong Army, and the rest can be distributed by themselves.

    Nalai, as the king who had just seized the throne, won successive victories and expanded a large area of ??the country, which was enough to consolidate his dominance.

    Not losing money, and making a lot of money.

    What worries the king in his heart is that China is also expanding a large area to the south, and its influence on the Indochina Peninsula is becoming stronger and stronger.

    Moreover, the Eight Hundred Division will definitely become a subsidiary force of China, and will completely break away from Siam's control in the future.  Eight hundred jurisdictions, that is, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai and other areas of Thailand in later generations.

    ? His arms cannot twist his thighs. Since China ordered the troops to withdraw, Lai Wang could only take his troops back home.

    Once the Siamese army left, the Mon people finally relaxed.

    The leaders of the Mon rebel army led their troops northward one after another, almost snatching them all the way.  Burmese landlords were killed when they saw them, and Burmese people were robbed when they saw them. Even the Burmese who fled from Bagan to their hometown were defeated and more than 2,000 were killed by the Mon army on the way.

    Ding Jiasheng and Yang Zhan, who stayed in Bagan to do post-war work, did not lead troops to Awa, the capital of Myanmar.

    They have earned enough military exploits, so they have to leave some for the friendly army.

    A few days later, good news came one after another.

    Huang Yao's army successfully captured the city of Anzheng.

    The inspectors led by Lu Liangqi left the Tusi coalition army and most of the luggage, marched quickly across the mountains and valleys, and rushed to the city of Ava from the east.  Knowing that the king was defeated on the front line, the army in the capital of Burma surrendered without resistance.

    Immediately, generals from all walks of life gathered in Ava for a meeting.

    Huang Yao was the first to speak and said: "The north cannot just swallow Mengyang and Mubang. Although the border is good for offense and defense, the food grown cannot supply the army. In the future, if there is another war, the army food will have to be transported from Yunnan. At least Anzhengguo City must be taken.  It is also occupied, and there are large plains along the river that can be cultivated."

    Lu Liangqi also said: "Meng Gen has to occupy it too, and connect with Mubang, and spend decades building post stations and post roads along the way. Otherwise, 80% of the time when sending troops to fight in the future will be spent on traveling across mountains and mountains.  "

    "I agree, after all, Xizuo doesn't know how to fight, and the information provided must be corrected." Ding Jiasheng supported.

    The generals joined forces to go to Shu, and while waiting for the order from the court, they still called the northern Burmese chieftain, the Burmese lord, and the leader of the Mon tribe together.

    Huang Yao said to these people: "The Dongyu Kingdom has been destroyed, and a new dynasty should be established in this land of Burma. The emperor of the Celestial Dynasty ordered to establish a kingdom in the south, with the Mon people as kings, and another kingdom in the north, with Dai  People come to be the king. The chieftain Daomu prayed in the car, he has always been loyal and obedient, and he has made great achievements in sending troops this time, so he can be the king of the Dai people."

    Dao Muqian was stunned for a moment, and then he was overjoyed.

    In fact, he is not even a toast, the toast in the car is his nephew.  And there are mountains everywhere in the car, how can it compare to the fertile Central Burma Plain?

    "Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"

    Dao Muchan was so excited that he knelt down and kowtowed towards the north.??.  From Bangkok to the sea, there are mangroves and swamps everywhere, so it is called "mud sea" by the locals.  As far as Siam is concerned, it doesn't matter if Bangkok is sent out, it's just a little awkward, after all, China will station troops there.

    The Datong army withdrew one after another, leaving a division in Ava, 500 soldiers in Yangon, and 500 soldiers in Bangkok.

    The first batch of immigrants organized by the imperial court were sent to Yangon and Bangkok first.  They were all moved from Guangxi and Yunnan, relatively better able to withstand the hot and humid weather, and the number is not large, only one or two thousand people.

    The Han Chinese in Myanmar and Thailand automatically migrated to these two ports.

    Especially the Siamese Han people. Within six months, more than 3,000 people moved to Bangkok and became the absolute main ethnic group there.  With the help of the imperial court, some Han people reclaimed swamps and cultivated land, but most Han people crowded the port to do business.

    After waiting for more than three months, the court's order finally reached Ava.

    Emperor Zhao and the cabinet agreed to the generals' request to annex Mengyangsi, Mubangsi, Chelisi, Menggensi, Mengliansi, and annex the land of Anzhengguocheng Xingu and the north part of Burma.

    ? Among them, Mengyangsi, Chelisi, Mengliansi, and the northern part of Mubang were all placed in Yunnan Province and transferred to local governments.

    Pingnan military and civilian government was set up in Menggensi, southern Mupang, and the newly merged Central Burma region.  Ding Jiasheng has made outstanding military exploits and served as the chief of the Pingnan Military and Civilian Government.

    "Military and Minfu" is a local administrative region in the Ming Dynasty, with chieftains, officials, Han people, and ethnic minorities mixed.

    Almost all the military and civilian mansions established in the early Ming Dynasty were chieftains.  Most of the military and civilian mansions in the middle and early Ming Dynasty were not chieftains.  In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a large number of military and civilian government offices began to be abolished, and at the same time, it was accompanied by land reform.

    Now the imperial court has set up the "Pingnan Military and Civilian Mansion", which is also a mixed administrative region.

    ?Because the actual situation is complicated, military control is implemented in principle, and the highest officer is a military general to prevent local people from rebelling.  At the same time, in some areas with convenient transportation, states and counties are divided and ruled by officials.  In more primitive and remote places, small chieftains are allowed to exist, and they will be reformed after they develop to a certain level.

    ? For example, the Kachin people in mountainous areas, with rolling mountains and slash-and-burn cultivation, how could it be possible to send officials to manage them?  Only the leader of the Kachin ethnic group can be appointed as a small chieftain.

    As for why Ding Jiasheng was appointed to be in charge of the Pingnan Military and Civilian Government instead of the older Huang Yao, the arrangement was purely based on their abilities.

    Ding Jiasheng was born as a scholar who trained himself in Datong Ji. When he regained Yunnan, he deliberately left certain borders untouched in preparation for the imperial court's conquest of Annan.  When I was in Bagan City, I also knew how to return the Bayeux Sutra, using monks to buy people's hearts, and obviously possessed the ability to govern the land and stabilize the people.

 Text 875 [Queen Huang·Governor of Pattani]

    ? In the month when the Burmese Conquest ended, the envoy fleet led by Lu Tianxiang, Zhang Ruifeng, and Fan Chao also arrived in Malacca with envoys from various countries along the way.

    At this moment, two small episodes appeared.

    First, because the two divisions stationed in Quang Nam Province were both transferred to attack Burma, the Vietnamese Nguyen took the opportunity to invade Bin Thong Long (Champa).

    Second, the Pattani Kingdom in the Malay Peninsula was attacked by its affiliated Kelantan Kingdom.  Queen Pattani asked China to send troops to help her, and she was willing to offer land and submit to her. She gave up her position as a queen and became China's overseas governor.

    Queen Pattani ran away on a sea boat and went straight to Palembang to ask for help, just in time to meet the envoy fleet that was replenishing here.

    Lu Tianxiang and Zhang Ruifeng jointly received the Queen Pattani.

    The queen's name is Dato' Kuning, and she is over half a century old.  In fluent Cantonese, she said: "Foreign minister Zhang Hezhen, knock on the empress, knock on the angel!"

    Kwong Hong, Governor of Palembang, stood beside him as an interpreter.

    Lu Tianxiang asked suspiciously: "The queen of the foreign domain, why is her surname Zhang, and she can speak Cantonese?"

    Kuang Hong explained: "Mistress Qi, the queen's uncle is the great pirate Lin Daoqian in the Longqing period. During the Wanli period, Lin Daoqian led more than 2,000 Chaozhou pirates and more than 100 seagoing ships, and became a concubine in the Beidaian Kingdom.  And changed his surname to Zhang. Lin Daoqian's wife, two aunts, and the daughter of the little aunt in front of me have successively become the queen of Peking."

    "One family, four queens?" Lu Tianxiang found it very interesting.

    Lin Hezhen knelt down on the ground: "The old woman has no heirs, and now she is bullied by the country. She can't bear to lose the foundation of her ancestors. I ask the court to send troops to help. If the old woman can regain Pattani, the old woman is willing to be the governor of Pattani. After the old woman died, the court  You can send officials to Governor Pattani!"

    Lu Tianxiang looked at Kuang Hong.

    Kuang Hong said: "This is feasible."

    The four queens of Pattani are called the Green Queen, Blue Queen, Purple Queen and Yellow Queen respectively.

    Decades ago, the Sultan of Pattani died, and his young sons and nephews successively succeeded to the throne, all of whom died in the assassination of the Sultan's relatives.

    In a series of plots and killings, Lin Daoqian's younger sister Lin Jinyue (played by Lin Cizhen) died in battle, but she kept the foundation of the local Han people. After her death, the local Han people built a temple to enshrine the gods.  Until hundreds of years later, Pattani Harbor in Thailand was still enshrining this "Ms. Lin", and her temple was called "Sacred Palace of Lingci".

    Ten years after Miss Lin's death, the last male member of the Pattani royal family died.

    At that time, Lin Daoqian had also died of illness, and the aristocratic group elected his wife to be the queen, that is, the green queen.

    The nobles wanted to support a puppet, but they did not expect to support a fierce girl from heaven.

    As soon as the Green Queen succeeded to the throne, the prime minister led 5,000 troops into the palace, and the guards all fled in panic.

    But the green queen stood alone at the gate of the palace in a calm manner.  Facing 5,000 rebels, he seemed to be reviewing the army, and asked the prime minister calmly: "Do you want to rebel and stand on your own?"

    The prime minister was speechless for a moment, not only awed by the queen's aura, but also thinking of the Han people who supported the queen, he knelt down on the spot to express his submission.

    Later, a British adventurer saw the 60-year-old queen and praised the monarchs of the entire East, none of which could match her magnanimity.  The commander-in-chief of the Dutch East India Fleet described in his diary: "Her rule is very peaceful, and her relationship with nobles and ministers is very harmonious."

    Is a queen who has ended the chaotic political situation for more than 30 years really so peaceful?

    It's just that no one dares to object anymore.

    This queen has her own trade fleet, backed by thousands of Han Chinese forces.  Domestic and foreign affairs are all perfect. During her rule, Pattani was built into a port city in the Malay Peninsula second only to Malacca, and even the surrounding small countries were accepted as vassal states.

    But she left no heirs, and was succeeded by her second sister.

    The second sister also lost her husband in her early years and still had no children, so she let the third sister succeed her after her death.

    The third sister is the Purple Queen, who is extremely tough internally and externally.  He even declared independence from Siam and gave up the title of duke conferred by Siam, which directly triggered a war with Siam.

    On the Siam side, it was Yamada Nagamasa who sent troops to suppress the rebellion.

    Under the leadership of Queen Purple, Beida not only repelled the Japanese Musketeers, but also wounded Yamada Nagamasa.  This is how King Narai's father secretly bribed his enemies and poisoned the injured Yamada Nagamasa to death.

    But the Purple Queen was too tough, she offended both at home and abroad, and left a tiankeng for her daughter to start.

    The old lady Huang Huang, who is asking for help from China, is the unlucky daughter. She was almost excluded by the nobles at the beginning of her position.  By re-paying tribute to Siam, sheIf you lose a lot of money, stealing chickens is not enough to lose money, and you don’t get any benefits, and you have to pay huge amounts of money.

    What can I do if I don’t follow suit?

    He is all about this city and the villages and towns around the city.  A typical city-state is simply powerless to resist the Chinese army.

    In this way, the Datong Navy fired a round of artillery, forcing the country of Kelantan to spit out Pattani.

    Queen Huang was sent back to Pattani City and temporarily served as the governor of Pattani. After her death, China will send officials to be the governor.  Of course, Lu Tianxiang also left some people in charge of various official positions in Beida Nian, which is tantamount to emptying Queen Huang.

    There are about 10,000 Han Chinese living here, enough for China to establish effective rule.

    When the envoy fleet left Pattani and sailed to Bin Thong Long, the Datong army was attacking Vietnam's Ruan family.

    Yang Zhan was very angry. He left Guangnan Province on the front foot, and the Ruan family sent troops to Bin Tong Long on the back foot.

    Once the fight in Myanmar was over, Yang Zhan led his army back immediately after receiving the news, and wanted to teach Ruan a lesson.

 Text 876 [Sun Chuanting makes a move]

    The Ruan family's brazen dispatch of troops in Vietnam was the result of various factors, and it was not decided by Ruan Fubin with a slap on the head.

    First, China sent troops to destroy the Zheng family, and bought Champa with money, forming a north-south double-team for the Ruan family.  Sooner or later, China will attack. If Ruan wants to survive for a long time, he must find an opportunity to rebound.

    ?Secondly, during China’s land reform in Guangnan Province, the Vietnamese gentry incited peasants to rebel.  Afterwards, a large number of Yue gentry defected to the Nguyen family, many with money and population.

    These guys were sent to open up land and wasteland, and some of them were appointed to official positions by the Ruan family.  They spread the cruelty of China everywhere, saying that as soon as the Chinese army came, they would confiscate all the land of the gentry.  The gentry under Ruan's rule were terrified and uneasy, and kept urging Lord Ruan to train troops to resist China.

    Third, money!

    The Ruan family's territory is small and underpopulated, and the mountains, swamps, and mangroves are unable to be developed.  The real economic pillar comes from foreign trade.

    To tell the truth, the Ruan family treated Chinese businessmen very preferentially, and they could even be called intentional support.

    ? When Chinese merchant ships arrive in Hue, the entry tax is 3,000 min and the departure tax is 300 min.  Fujian ships are taken care of, the entry tax is 2000 min, and the departure tax is 200 min.  For ships on Hainan Island, the entry tax is 500 min and the departure tax is 50 min.  (The displacement of the Hainan ship is relatively small)

    For European merchant ships, the entry tax is 8,000 min, and the departure tax is 800 min.

    For Japanese merchant ships, the entry tax is 4000 min, and the departure tax is 400 min.

    This is only the entry and exit tax. Some types of goods will also be charged additional tariffs. Han Chinese merchants also have preferential treatment.

    This has led to the fact that the Chinese businessmen have almost formed a semi-monopoly position on Ruan's trade.

    ?China conquered the Zheng regime in the north, drove away the Dutch who monopolized Zheng's trade, and then bought the Champa area with money.  In order to attract maritime merchants and prosper the port, various tariffs have been lowered. This tariff discount is valid for ten years.

    The Chinese businessmen who did business in the Ruan family ran to expand their business one after another, and the trade volume of the Ruan family site declined rapidly.  Merchants who continue to stay here to do business, also because of higher business costs, keep asking Master Ruan to lower the tariff.

    ?On the one hand, the troops are gearing up to guard against China, and on the other hand, the tariff revenue is falling wildly. The finances of the Nguyen regime are already on the verge of collapse.

    Either disarm and wait to die, or fight hard!

    ? I just heard that the troops from Quang Nam Province were transferred away, and it seemed that they were going to fight Burma.  Under the instigation of ministers and gentry, Ruan Fubin finally decided to take the risk of sending troops.

    He didn't dare to fight north, because Hengshan and the river blocked him, and he didn't know how many soldiers were left in Guangnan Province.  So he went south to attack Bin Tonglong in Zhancheng, where there were only 500 Datong troops stationed there, as long as they captured here, they could annex Zhancheng.  It can not only plunder goods, but also expand the territory, and also accept Bintonglong, a large trading port.

    At the same time, it is not afraid of the Chinese court sending troops to retaliate, because as long as it is delayed until March and April, it will be the rainy and hot seasons in southern Vietnam.

    Ruan Fu's close relatives led an army of 40,000, and attacked Bin Tonglong by sea and land.

    Counting the civilian husbands, it is said to be 200,000.

    What's even more nonsense is that he took the risk of going to war with China, but he didn't dare to offend Chinese businessmen.  Because Chinese maritime merchants are the God of Wealth of the Nguyen regime, and Nguyen Phuc dared to attack merchants, those with vested interests were about to rebel.

    When Yang Zhan fought in Bagan City, the Ruan army had already surrounded Bin Tonglong.

    The original city wall of Bin Tonglong was short and small. After the five hundred troops came, they built another castle directly outside the city.

    Although the castle is small, it has five walls, and the five corners are bastions.  Outside the bastion, dig a deep trench and divert water to make a moat.  Between the moat and the castle, there is a sloping earth slope filled with wooden stakes with iron points.

    Ruan Fubin had already found out clearly that there were only 500 defenders here, and he was confident that an army of 40,000 could easily break through.

    It took about 14 days and more than 3,000 civilians were killed or injured. The Ruan army successfully filled the moat because the moat here was not wide.

    Immediately, Ruan Phuc sent people to persuade him to surrender.

    General Bin Tonglong was called Fu Yigong, and he was originally the post chief who commanded hundreds of soldiers.  Because he voluntarily applied to be transferred overseas, he was promoted several ranks to command five hundred soldiers, and he also brought his wife, children, and children to settle down.

    The officers under his command are all inspectors or policemen, who were promoted because they were stationed overseas.  Ordinary soldiers, who have never been on the battlefield, are recruited from farmers and soldiers.

    Putting it in the country, such a force can't even win against the inspectors.

    Facing the persuasion to surrender, Fu Yigong picked up the firecracker, aimed at the people shouting in the city, and shot.

    "boom!"

    A shot was shot sideways, and the shouter shrank his head and ran away in fright.

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    The nearby soldiers laughed loudly, happy to see their?? Killed!  "Ruan Xun roared angrily, he was in a hurry to take back Guangping Mansion, otherwise he would be guilty of losing the city and land.

    The general Ruan Jun could only order: "Cavalry pursue the enemy!"

    There are only more than a hundred cavalry here. As for the main cavalry and elephant soldiers, they were all taken to besiege Bin Tonglong.

    "Hollow array!"

    Hearing the sound of horseshoes, Sun Dakui quickly ordered to stop the retreat.

    When the Datong Army finished forming, the Ruan Army cavalry had rushed hundreds of meters away.

    "On the bayonet!"

    The Ruan Army cavalry had never encountered a hollow formation, and felt that they could overwhelm the Datong Army with a single charge.

    These guys shot an arrow halfway, knocking down several Datong soldiers, but more arrows were blocked by the armor.  The Tatung Army in Guangnan Province abandoned cotton armor and wore chain armor instead. Although the anti-arrow effect was reduced, they could barely hold the horse bow, and even if they shot it, they could not shoot deep.  The hats they wore were also inlaid with iron sheets and iron sheets.

    "Hurry up and kill!" Ruan Xun urged.

    General Ruan Jun also felt that he was stable. The Han army must have been crushed by the cavalry. He shouted excitedly: "The whole army pursues!"

    Nearly 10,000 Nguyen soldiers shouted and charged, and the more than 2,000 elites could barely keep intact, while the rest of the miscellaneous soldiers ran in chaos.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The Datong soldiers who faced the cavalry head-on did not fire until they were 15 steps (30 meters) away.

    The Ruan Army cavalry turned on their backs, but two-thirds rushed over.  When the war horse saw the bayonet array, it automatically slowed down and walked around the array.  When they walked to the side, the Datong army on the side fired another burst of bang bang bang, this time they fired completely close to each other.

    After two volleys of more than one hundred Ruan army cavalry, only twenty cavalry fled in embarrassment.

    "Change formation, reload, those who didn't shoot stand in the front row!" Sun Dakui ordered.

    Seeing the collapse of the cavalry, the general Ruan Jun shouted in fright: "Come back, come back and form a team!"

    The flag order was no longer effective, and the orderly rushed out on horseback, shouting along the way to stop the advance.

    Sun Dakui felt that the Ruan army was in disarray, and before the whole army could fill up the ammunition, he drew his sword and shouted: "Blow the charge!"

    Amidst the high-pitched suona sound, 900 Datong soldiers rushed towards the nearly 10,000 Ruan troops.

    Ruan Jun had all charged and chased just now, and the formation had long been messed up.  In particular, the miscellaneous soldiers brought by the prefect of Guangping rushed so hard that they couldn't find their commander, and the messengers shouted for a long time to no avail.

    When they saw that the Datong army not only did not collapse, but defeated the cavalry, they even roared and charged back, and a large number of Ruan troops turned around and fled immediately.

    The elite Ruan army of more than 2,000 had already been reined in, and the team was almost finished.  But when thousands of miscellaneous soldiers fled, they rushed to pieces. When the Datong army came to kill them, these elites also subconsciously fled.

    As for the Quang Binh prefect Ruan Xun, as early as the moment the miscellaneous soldiers fled, he left the troops and rode away on horseback.

    "Don't collapse, don't collapse, we have a large number of people, and we also have firecrackers!" The general Ruan Jun led his personal guards and personally stepped forward to restrain the elite troops that had not yet completely collapsed.

    However, the troops that were about to collapse could not be controlled at all, not to mention that there were several times as many collapsed troops around them.

    More and more elite Ruan soldiers fled with the miscellaneous soldiers.

    In such a situation, the frontier general of the Ruan army also slipped away, leaving his troops and fleeing to Guancheng.

    Nearly 10,000 Nguyen troops all collapsed, scrambling to rush to Guancheng, trampling on each other at the narrow city gate.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The Datong soldiers who were chasing up fired at the crowd, almost never missing the target, and a large number of soldiers collapsed on the periphery.

    Ruan Jun was so frightened that he squeezed in desperately. Hundreds of thousands were trampled to death.

    The Datong Army was not in a hurry to engage in melee combat, so they loaded ammunition on the outside, and then continued to fire their guns into the crowd.

    The rout soldiers on the periphery couldn't squeeze in, and finally someone wanted to flee to both sides.  There are steep hills on both sides, throw away all the weapons, and climb up the mountain without thinking.

    Ruan Xun, the prefect of Guangping, fled quickly, and had already entered the city on horseback. He shouted in a panic: "Quickly close the city gate!"

    "My lord, it can't be closed!"

    Let's put it this way, all the soldiers in charge of guarding the gate were trampled to death by the rout.

    The unlucky side general was blocked in the doorway on horseback at the moment.  There were people in all directions, and the horses were so excited that they neighed in panic, and even their hooves were pushed off the ground.

    Most of the rout soldiers outside the gate had gone to climb the mountain, and Sun Chuanting couldn't help shouting: "Rush over!"

    Sun Dakui also said: "Come on!"

    The Datong army took advantage of the trend to charge towards the city gate, but the gate was still being trampled on, and the unlucky side general was trampled unconscious with his man and horse.

    After these rout soldiers fled into Guancheng, they were still in shock and continued to run subconsciously.  Some officers wanted to gather the rout soldiers, but the effect was bad. After gathering for a long time, only a few hundred soldiers were gathered, and even the miscellaneous soldiers who had stayed in the city before were running around.

    Finally, the Datong army chased the rout into the city, and each divided into small teams to hunt down.

    According to their usual training, they automatically form a team with the friendly troops around them. The officers call out their military ranks, and the highest rank is the temporary commander.

    The hundreds of Ruan troops who managed to gather were scattered everywhere, and were quickly defeated without any suspense.

    Ruan Xun, the prefect of Guangping who had been clamoring all the time, hurriedly straightened his clothes, and knelt down in front of Sun Chuanting: "Foreign minister Ruan Xun, knock on the heavenly official, long live His Majesty the Emperor of China!"

    Sun Chuanting glanced at it, and said expressionlessly, "Cut it off."; After these rout soldiers fled into Guancheng, they were still in shock and continued to run subconsciously.

    One hundred thousand years ago, when the human race reached its peak in the Immortal Demon Continent, there were nine holy lands, each of which controlled the nine inheritance scriptures. A sudden great change in the world caused the Immortal Demon Continent to suffer a devastating blow.  The human race suffered the heaviest loss, the seven holy lands were destroyed, the inheritance was cut off, and only two of the nine heavenly books remained.  The young Ling Feng was born in the sky, killed gods and demons, defied the nine heavens, fought the six reincarnations, led the human race back to the peak, and took charge of the Hongmeng Avenue.

    One hundred thousand years ago, when the human race reached its peak in the Immortal Demon Continent, there were nine holy lands, each of which controlled the nine inheritance scriptures.

    One hundred thousand years ago, when the human race reached its peak in the Immortal Demon Continent, there were nine holy lands, each of which controlled the nine inheritance scriptures. A sudden great change in the world caused the Immortal Demon Continent to suffer a devastating blow.  The human race suffered the heaviest loss, the seven holy lands were destroyed, the inheritance was cut off, and only two of the nine heavenly books remained.  The young Ling Feng was born in the sky, killed gods and demons, defied the nine heavens, fought the six reincarnations, led the human race back to the peak, and took charge of the Hongmeng Avenue.

 Text 896【A warm and considerate Spaniard】

    "One hundred and sixty miles southeast of Xindeng, there is a strait that enters through the gorge. It contains heaven and earth. There are big bays in the north and south, and you can park anywhere.  San Francisco), or 'Aoxiang'."

    "The newly arrived natives are short and stocky with reddish skin. The Oro natives are slightly slender and brownish-yellow. The customs of the two tribes are very different"

    "In the land of Xindeng, there are many towering redwoods. In the land of Oro, there are redwoods and oaks everywhere. The imperial court lacks a hundred-year-old oak ship. The number of oaks here is inexhaustible. People who are hundreds of years old can look up. Oro  This place can be used as a good port, and a dock can be built"

    ?The so-called "Oro people" are actually "Oloni people", translated

    Near San Francisco, in addition to the Oronians, there are Miwoks.  The two tribes have the same customs, speak a relatively similar language, and belong to the same tribal alliance.

    The Kashayans who traded land with Li Quan, although only a hundred miles away from San Francisco, spoke another language and belonged to another tribal alliance.

    The two alliances are enemies of each other, and wars often occur.

    Li Quan just arrived here, and he didn't understand the language, so it was difficult to figure out the relationship between these aborigines.

    When it becomes clear in the future, most of them will help one of them to attack the other.

    Judging from the situation, Li Quan first made friends with the Kashayans, and then coveted the land of the Oronians (San Francisco).  So most of them formed an alliance with the Kashayans, knocked down the vicinity of San Francisco, and acquired land to open up colonial strongholds.

    The fleet continued southward, exploring bays and estuaries along the way, and found that they were all similar aborigines.

    Spain has colonized the Americas for more than a hundred years, and it has been slow to contaminate the west coast of North America. One is because the road is too far and too remote, and the other is that there is not much oil to squeeze.

    Like the Aztec Empire and the Inca Empire, agriculture and handicrafts were developed, and there was a lot of gold.  If you capture a tribe or town, you can grab old nose money, but when you come to California, you can only grab the fresh fish of the natives.

    Traveling southward for more than 2,000 kilometers from San Francisco, Li Quan and the others encountered a Spanish colonial port.

    It was called Banderas at this time, and it was called Vallarta hundreds of years later.  At present, the silver mines here are only mined on a small scale, mainly as a supply port for the galleon trade.

    Five Chinese ships docked, causing an immediate sensation.

    The Colonial Chief is called Reyes, and he went to the port to greet him personally. He was a little dazed when he saw the Chinese, but he quickly came back to his senses: "Are you here for trade?"

    Li Quan has learned Spanish by himself, and there is no need for translation at all: "We are here to explore the ocean, and of course, we also brought a small amount of goods. They are all expensive commodities, such as top-grade silk, top-grade brocade, and top-grade lacquerware."

    This time I came to America, not mainly for profit. I sold a lot of cotton cloth in Japan, and then stuffed the ship with food and drinking water.

    However, expensive goods are also retained, all of which are light and do not take up space.

    "Everyone wait a moment."

    Reyes returned to the port town and called the tax collector, supervisor and missionary to discuss.

    The ports throughout Spanish America have strict trade restrictions: first, only official transactions are allowed, and private transactions are not allowed.  Second, foreign ships are not allowed to enter the port at will without the permission of the governor.

    Not only that, there are also restrictions in the Philippines. After Chinese merchant ships arrive in the Philippines, private transactions and retail sales are not allowed.  Commodities that can only be shipped by whole ship are negotiated and traded with the Philippine government, and multiple commodities must be sold together, and individual commodities cannot be sold.

    The Spanish royal family is not only wary of foreign merchants, but also their own people.

    The annual trade quota for goods shipped from the Philippines to the Americas is only 250,000 pesos.

    The warehouse of the galleon is divided into several spaces, and each space has a permit, and only Spaniards who have settled in the Philippines all year round can obtain permits.  There are also supporting restrictions, that is, Spaniards are not allowed to freely immigrate to the Philippines. If they want to immigrate to the Philippines, they must obtain the king's permission and live in the Philippines for eight years before they are eligible to obtain a trade license.

    Today, the galleon trading license in the Philippines has become a financial security just like Yanyin in the Ming Dynasty.

    There are a group of nobles who can easily obtain licenses, and then sell the licenses, and make a fortune without doing anything.  The price of the license was getting higher and higher, and small Spanish businessmen couldn't afford it, so a few people pooled their money to buy one, and obtained a warehouse space for the galleon.

    And the more powerful nobles, such as governors and fleet commanders, directly competed with the royal family for smuggling.  They used the space for storing ammunition, and even the space for storing food, to illegally store their own cargo, so that the crew was often in danger of food shortages.

    ? At the same time, due to the trade quota.  said Reyes.

    130 Spanish miles, about 730 kilometers.

    Reyes suggested: "There is a port in the middle called Manzanillo. Although there are no silver mines there and the residents are not as rich as ours, they can still eat some of your goods. The fishery is developed there and can provide you with salted fish and  Fresh fish can also provide vegetables and fruits. Remember, once you reach Manzanillo, you can’t go any further, and there is a high possibility of being attacked by the fleet.”

    Li Quan asked: "We can't go any further, how should we go?" Reyes said: "Depart from Manzanillo and sail directly southwest into the ocean. I guess we will soon enter the sailing ship trade channel. Dear  Chinese friends, you must come next year, everyone here is looking forward to you."

    It's almost killing people laughing!

    Although the Spaniards here live in the supply port of the galleon trade, although they are sitting on a nearby silver mine, they see that Chinese goods cannot be purchased every year.  If they want to buy Chinese products, they have to resell them second-hand through Acapulco merchants.  Acapulco merchants, on the other hand, have to obtain a license at a high price in order to buy goods and sell them everywhere. Coupled with the high export tax, the retail price is simply deadly.

    Li Quan said: "For the Spanish friends, I will come again next year."

    Reyes was very considerate and continued to help out with ideas: "You smuggled goods this year. After these goods are sold, they will definitely attract the attention of the governor. After you dock here next year, it is best to send someone to Mexico City to use exquisite and expensive  Chinese artworks, bribe the governor in private. The governor will help you deal with other officials, but those officials also need to pay bribes. These bribes are disguised tariffs, which is what the east coast does."

    ? No wonder the Spanish royal family will go bankrupt, the volume of smuggled trade in the Americas has already

    ?After far exceeding the official trade volume, the tariffs were earned by the colonial officials.?

 Body 897 [Hawaii]

    "Dangdangdang~~~"

    The bells of the church are ringing. This is not a service, but a farewell to the Chinese fleet.

    This is learned from the port of Acapulco. Whenever a galleon arrives, the whole city will boil.  People flooded the streets with songs and dances, church bells rang, and grand thanksgiving ceremonies were held to thank the Lord for sending abundant Asian commodities.

    Immediately afterwards, after the galleon was unloaded, a grand trade ceremony will be held.  Spanish merchants with a license buy goods here and transship them to Central America, South America, or land transport to Mexico City, the east coast of the Americas and the Caribbean.

    Today, the residents of Banderas Port see hope. As long as the smuggling trade flourishes in the future, this place can also develop and prosper.

    At that time, there will be a lot of goods and business travel, and each of them will be able to make a fortune, and they can live a life of buying whatever they want.

    "Thank you Lord, Your will has brought Chinese businessmen!"

    "Guys, let's have a toast and see our Chinese friends off!"

    ""

    The town became very lively, and the only tavern was already full.  Some people even bought rum, ran to the pier to watch the Chinese fleet leave, and drank to the departing fleet.

    Li Quan didn't go far with the fleet when he felt that the trade wind was blowing towards the southwest, and the ocean current was also towards the southwest.

    Docking at the port of Manzanillo ahead, the officials and residents here are equally enthusiastic.  They emptied their silver and food, and ate all the remaining goods, intending to transport them to the inland to sell and make money.

    In the past, you could only buy expensive goods from second-hand traffickers, but now you can smuggle them regardless of the license. You can imagine how much profit there is.

    In this port, there were so many fish that it exploded. When Li Quan left, fresh and salted fish filled the cabin.

    There is no need to sail southwest, just go west, this place is already located in the North Pacific warm current belt.  Li Quan led the fleet and walked quickly. He had already found out that there was a fleet stationed a thousand miles to the south, and merchant ships often came here to buy fish.

    Although it is the same as the Spanish galleon, it sails along the North Pacific warm current.  But the starting point of the Spaniards is in the middle of the warm current zone, while Li Quan's departure point is in the north of the warm current zone.

    It took more than five months to come, but it only took three months to go back. The journey was smooth and storms were rare.

    When sailing westward for more than a thousand miles, they encountered an archipelago.

    Li Quan was very excited. For fear of hitting the rocks, the big ship did not dare to get too close, and only cruised around the archipelago.  He sent a small boat to land and investigate, and found that there were no ghosts on the island, and several consecutive islands were deserted, completely a paradise for animals.

    This is the Reviahihedo Islands, which were discovered by navigators as early as a hundred years ago.

    Li Quan thought he was the first to discover it. Although the archipelago is temporarily uninhabited, so many islands are still exciting.  He said to the crew: "Thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, our casualties were minimal. In this archipelago, the largest island is named 'Tianzi Island'. The second largest island is named 'Queen Island'."  .The third largest island, named 'Prince Island'!"

    The crew cheered in unison, mainly because they were in a good mood, and the journey back was so smooth and comfortable.

    After being happy, it is boring.

    ? Although the journey is long and stormy, there are things to do.  Nothing happened on the way home. Many sailors and soldiers lay on the deck basking in the sun all day.

    There are also people who take pleasure in bitterness, hang the rotten fresh fish on the iron hook and throw it down, and fish with long ropes.

    Whenever a big fish takes the bait, the deck is full of jubilation, just to expend excess energy there.

    After sailing like this for more than a month, the watchman was yawning boredly, when suddenly he saw a shadow in the northwest.  Rubbing his eyes, there was still a dark shadow, so he quickly picked up the binoculars to observe.

    "Island!"

    "What a big island!"

    Li Quan's ship suddenly became a sensation, and the crew stood on the deck to watch.  The remaining four ships also discovered the island one after another, and people danced in the direction of the island.

    For more than a month, apart from the previous archipelago, they only had the sea in their eyes, and now they finally saw the land, and they wanted to hurry over and step on it.

    !  "Advance to the island

    The fleet was getting closer and closer to the island, and suddenly the watchman shouted: "There are boats, there are small sailboats, the barbarians here can build boats!"

    Li Quan quickly picked up the binoculars, and sure enough, he saw a sailboat in the distance.  This kind of boat is thin and long, with triangular sails hanging. The big boat can hold thirty or forty people, and the small boat can also hold ten or twenty people.

    Li Quan said: "Thiseat.  "

    Seeing that the indigenous people were collecting coconuts, Li Quan smiled and asked for cigars and rum.

    When selling goods in the port of Manzanillo, the Spaniards there did not have enough money, so they bartered a lot of tobacco leaves and rum.

    Ouyang Chun had already been allowed to approach by the great chief. He opened the rum and took a sip before handing the wine jar to the other party.

    Ali Kamiya drank it curiously, and immediately exclaimed: "Good wine!" The aboriginals on the island also make wine themselves. They brew it with pepper roots, which is called kava wine. The tip of the tongue feels numb after drinking. How can rum be as comfortable?

    Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Chun lit the cigar again, and after puffing, he handed the smoked cigar to the chief.

    "Cough cough cough!"

    Ali Kamiya sucked too hard and coughed repeatedly.  But he wasn't angry either, he took a breath carefully, his mind was a little stuffy, but he felt refreshed soon.

    The chief handed the cigar to the mage, and the mage tried a few times, but he learned it by himself and sprayed the smoke from his nose.

    The mage said: "This thing should be able to communicate with the gods."

    "Since coconuts can be given to men from outside, so can bananas and pigs," Ali Kamiya said, "We will bring some more bananas and pigs and exchange them with outsiders."

    Li Quan was afraid of being attacked by the Spanish fleet, so he set sail very far north.  The route is located on the edge of the North Pacific warm current, all the way to the west in a straight line, just hitting the Hawaiian Islands!

    As for the starting point of the Spaniards, if they sailed in a straight line with the wind and the water, they might not meet Hawaii for hundreds of years.

 Text 898 [Conquest by force]

    The Chinese brought by Li Quan were allowed to live temporarily on the island.

    As for how long to stay, it is inconvenient for the two sides to communicate, and the specific issues are not clear.

    But one thing is certain, the warchief will not allow them to settle permanently.

    Historically, Captain Cook discovered the Hawaiian Islands by accident.  And on the day he came, the aborigines were offering sacrifices to the god Long Nuo, and the sacrificial team needed to sail around the island to celebrate, and Captain Cook was also going around the island to check the situation.  The behavior of the two parties was so coincidental that the aborigines regarded Captain Cook as "Long Nuo" and descended to earth.

    The islanders paid homage to Captain Cook and presented him with a helmet and cloak, which are the attire of the upper class.

    Captain Cook stayed on the island for a month before setting off to explore the Northern Sea Route.  He deliberately did not go with the wind and the current, and soon encountered a storm, and the ship was damaged and decided to return to Hawaii for repairs.

    The chief is angry, although you are a god, but I am the leader here.  If you go down to earth, I will serve you too, why are you still coming back?  Want to grab a seat with me?  If you don't want to go back to the God Realm, then I will send you back!

    So the two sides fought, Captain Cook was killed, and his soul finally returned to the God Realm.

    The islanders were very happy, and held a funeral for Captain Cook, all in accordance with the specifications for burying the gods.  The internal organs of the corpse were hollowed out and then roasted with fire, and the bones were preserved for future religious offerings and sacrificial ceremonies.

    Playing tricks and playing tricks will end badly.

    Li Quan stayed on the island for several days and called the leaders under his command to a meeting.  The missionary officer Ye took the lead in saying: "The aborigines here grow potatoes and sweet potatoes. We know that sweet potatoes and potatoes were brought by Europeans from the Americas. These aborigines should have never seen Europeans, and where did they come from?  Sweet potatoes, potatoes? Could it be that their ancestors came from the Americas and were able to cross the ocean hundreds of thousands of years ago?"

    "The aborigines here also feed pigs and dogs. Are there pigs and dogs in America?" Guo Ziwei, a star guide, asked a question.

    "Not sure." Everyone shook their heads.

    There are not only pigs, dogs, potatoes and sweet potatoes on the island, but also the original cotton variety "wool cotton".  The aborigines are already planting and cultivating wool cotton, but the cotton production is still very low. Only the nobles on the island can afford cotton cloth, and the sails of the aborigines are also made of cotton cloth.

    Li Quan chewed the exchanged bananas, and said with emotion: "The islands here are isolated overseas, and there are secrets hidden everywhere, and they will not be clear for a while."

    Guo Ziwei said: "The latitude and longitude have been measured. This island is located at 37 degrees east longitude and 19 degrees north latitude. According to the longitude calculation, we have sailed 9,500 miles from the port of Manzanillo. From here, we will return to Luzon or Taiwan.  , You have to continue sailing for 17,000 miles."

    "That is to say, this island is located at one-third of the entire voyage," Li Quan said, "then this place is very important, and it is entirely possible to establish a stronghold for resupply and accommodation for the wounded and sick."

    Feng Qianli, the captain of the deputy ship, said: "In the past few days, I have explored five large and small islands in the northwest, and it is enough to conquer one of them by force. Then, leave 50 soldiers to stay on the island and marry indigenous women as concubines.  , lest they cannot bear the loneliness."

    Ye said: "I'm afraid no one is willing to settle on the island, and they have family members in the country."

    "The longest stay is only two years," Feng Qianli said, "Leave 50 soldiers this year, and take away 25 when they come next year, and change the other 25 soldiers to live here."

    Ye asked: They left, what about the native wives on the island?  "

    Feng Qianli said: "The wife stays on the island and waits for her husband to come back in a few years."

    Li Quan smiled and said: "If you rotate like this, doesn't every soldier have to marry a wife on the island?"

    "If you can endure two years of loneliness, you don't have to marry," Feng Qianli said. "We only bring 300 soldiers on board. Even if we all marry wives, we only need 300 aboriginal women. There are so many aboriginals here, 300  Women are sure to find them casually."

    Li Quan asked for everyone's opinions: "Should we raise slaves?"

    "It must be raised. Is it possible to take down the island and release all the slaves?" Guo Ziwei said.

    No one objected.

    Ye said: "Let's call them tenants. The imperial court does not allow slaves."

    The name is different, but the essence is the same.

    The Han landlords in Luzon and Yecheng raised many tenants of different races. To put it bluntly, they were no different from slaves, so the government was not allowed to kill slaves casually.

    "Boom~~~~"

    A loud noise accompanied by a slight earthquake interrupted the meeting in an instant.  They turned their heads and saw thick smoke billowing in the distance.

    volcanic eruptions!

    This is the largest island of the Hawaiian Islands - Hawaii Island, also known as Volcanic Island.

    VolcanoInquire about the situation behind the Chinese fleet.

    And Papu, the chief of Maui, has long been vigilant, because Chinese ships have gone around the island to investigate.

    Papp felt that his "navy" would definitely not be able to defeat outsiders.  Therefore, after the Chinese fleet appeared, he mobilized as many troops as possible, and also recruited nearby civilians to form an army to fight on a beach.

    "The enemy is to the east!"

    "There are probably more than a thousand people, all of them are men. It seems that women are not allowed to fight."

    The Chinese fleet explored around the island, found the location where the enemy gathered, and went to the enemy specifically.

    One boat after another was lowered, and more than two hundred soldiers rowed close to the beach.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The five large ships fired suddenly, and the shells flew towards the native army.

    Ali Kamiya watched from a distance, then shouted in horror: "Go back quickly!

    He often sent troops to Maui to plunder, robbing food and slaves while the enemy was not paying attention.  Similarly, the natives of Maui will also go to his territory to plunder.  But neither of them thought about it, and completely annexed each other.

    At this moment, Ali Kamiya saw with his own eyes that his mortal enemy was scattered by a burst of shelling.

    What a terrifying outsider, it seems that he is really descended from the gods.

 Text 899 [Longnuo returns]

    "Run, Long Nuo is back!"

    More than a thousand indigenous men, some turned and fled, some knelt down and worshiped.

    Longnuo: the incarnation of natural forces, the god of agriculture and harvest, the god exiled by the gods.

    Myth prophecy: Long Nuo, the god of exile, will one day lead the soldiers of the Kingdom of God to return to the island in a big ship.

    Captain Cook in history was regarded as Long Nuo by the natives.  This deity represents the forces of nature and has long been banished by the gods.  Therefore, on the day of the Harvest Festival, we should not only thank Long Nuo's natural force for bringing food, but also beg Long Nuo's body not to return to the island.

    Captain Cook's arrival at the Harvest Festival frightened the natives on the island, so they could only eat and drink as offerings, praying for the god of exile to go away quickly.

    Unexpectedly, Captain Cook returned to Hawaii to repair the ship after leaving for more than a month.

    what does this mean?

    We must send him away!

    Because according to the legend, Long Nuo was exiled because he wanted to fight for the position of God King and failed in the battle. At the same time, he also represented the secular chiefs who were exiled.  For the chief who is in power, the return of Long Nuo also implies that the chief should be replaced.

    So is it possible to speculate that, long, long ago, the ancestors of the Hawaiians came to live here by boat.  There was an ancestor named Long Nuo, who mastered farming techniques and had a very high prestige, and even wanted to compete for the position of leader.  Because of the failure to seize the throne, Long Nuo took the remnant and left by boat.

    The story is told from generation to generation, and Long Nuo became the god of nature, the god of harvest and the god of exile.

    According to this understanding, the original leader of the Hawaiians should be a man named Kani.  Because in mythology, Kani is the ancestor god, the ancestor of all men, and the god of the sun, forest and fresh water.

    And it was a man named Ku who fought with Long Nuo for power.  Library: God of War, Chief Protector, God of Fishing, God of Handicrafts

    To sum up, the first generation leader Carney died, and the ancestors began to re-elect the leader.  Ku, who was in charge of fisheries and handicrafts, and Long Nuo, who was in charge of agriculture, fought for power. Ku finally won, and gathered military power to become the God of War.

    Anyway, in the myths and legends, Long Nuo must never return, once he returns, disasters will come.

    After fleeing for a while, Papu, the chief of Maui, suddenly picked up his weapon and turned around, shouting loudly: "Ku God bless, follow me to expel Longnuo!"

    Anyone can escape, anyone can surrender, but the chief must be hard steel.  Ku is the chief's patron saint, while Long Nuo is Ku's sworn enemy.  If the chief wants to keep his power, he must expel Long Nuo!

    "God Ku bless, God Ku bless!" Papp continued to shout, trying to gather the rout.

    The high priest suddenly came to Tuo, also afraid that his power would be lost, he raised his scepter and shouted: "God Ku bless you, God Ku bless you!"

    The two mages nearby, encouraged by the chief and the high priest, also shouted together.  Singers and dancers dance and sing while beating drums. What they sing and dance is war songs and dances.

    There were more than 300 indigenous soldiers in front of them, and they regrouped around the chief. With the blessing of singing and dancing, they boosted their morale, raised their weapons and rushed forward.

    At this moment, more than a hundred Chinese soldiers have landed, and they quickly formed formations on the beach and raised their guns.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    There was a burst of gunfire, and more than 20 indigenous people fell down.

    The aborigines near the deceased were stunned, stopped charging in fright, and shouted in panic: "It's really Long Nuo, he has returned with the soldiers of the Kingdom of God!"

    Chinese soldiers continued to go ashore, raising their flintlock guns and shooting freely.  Some people were still on the boat, and before jumping off, they raised their guns and aimed to fire.

    More and more aborigines fell down, about thirty or forty people died, and these aborigines finally collapsed again.  None of the war dances and war songs would work. The native soldiers were afraid of muskets, and even more afraid of Long Nuo who brought back the soldiers from the Kingdom of God.

    This is Long Nuo, and it needs the cooperation of the gods to exile him.

    The Hawaiian awe of Long Nuo comes from hundreds of years of religious brainwashing.

    Historically, after the unification of the Hawaiian Islands, the first king was able to collect taxes with the help of Long Nuo's reputation.  The king asked the people of the islands to offer food on the day of the Harvest Festival.

    It's taxed.

    The high priest suddenly came and told him that he was old, he couldn't even run if he wanted to, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

    Chief Papp looked at the completely disintegrated soldiers, looked up to the sky and said, "Has God Ku abandoned me?"

    As a chief, Papp fears the gods, but at the same time does not believe that there really are gods.  But today, the myth and prophecy came true, Long Nuo really drove theAfter half an hour, their family members finally approached.

    Li Quan sent people into the city again, expelled all the residents in the city, and arranged them in families.

    "Those who are left by the lottery, go and choose a wife." Li Quan said.  The dress of married women on the island is different from that of unmarried women.  75 The soldiers who decided to stay, only selected noble girls, all grinned.

    These aborigines, especially the aristocrats, look very much in line with Chinese aesthetics, and it can even be said that the average appearance is very high.

    Their facial features have Caucasian features, so that some anthropologists mistakenly regard Hawaiians as Caucasian mixed-race descendants.  At the same time, it has the characteristics of East Asians, and the various size data of the skull fossils are extremely similar to those of northerners.

    Chinese research has found that the bones of ancestors unearthed at Dawenkou and other Shandong sites are highly similar to those of Hawaiians.  Therefore, some people speculate that they are the result of Dongyi people who crossed the sea and mixed with other races.

    ? From the identification of the y chromosome, they are also close relatives of the Chinese.  Take the Indians as an example. If the Indians are distant relatives of the Chinese, then the Hawaiians can definitely be called cousins.

    These aboriginal aristocrats, seeing the Chinese picking out their own girls, became happy after being frightened.

    Although the status of women is low, there is no custom of offering sacrifices to women here.  The nobles speculated that it was the gods who took a fancy to their daughter and wanted to marry her and take her back to the Kingdom of God, which meant that the gods would also leave.

    Li Quan ordered dozens of young girls to be brought along, and escorted the captured nobles, and took a boat around the northwest corner of the island to Kahului, the largest port on the later Maui Island.

    There are villages and local nobles here.

    All the local nobles were expelled, and Li Quan took people to occupy their houses, and

    Do not allow local civilians and slaves to leave.

    As for what to do with the expelled nobles in the future, the great chief will make arrangements for himself, most likely to allocate a piece of land for them in the mountains.

    A lot of living materials were given, and 50 soldiers and seriously ill people stayed behind.  Then Li Quan sent the nobles back to the city, supplied a little fresh water and fruit and left.

    The chief Papp was confused and asked the high priest: "Long Nuo drove five big ships and left. Why did he leave some soldiers in the north and let those soldiers marry our daughter?"

    The high priest suddenly did not answer directly, and asked the chief to escort a few slaves to the temple to hold human sacrifices.

    After some psychic communication, Hu Laituo said: "I have already communicated with the Father God, and the Father God told me that God Ku has provoked public anger in the kingdom of heaven and has been expelled by the gods. The gods welcome Longnuo's return. From now on,  Long Nuo is the protector of the chieftain. Long Nuo resented us for being rude to him, so he came down to the earth to admonish him. Long Nuo also left behind his own guards from the Kingdom of God, and let these guards intermarry with the daughters of nobles. From now on, he will serve as Long Nuo for generations  Guard the island."

    "It turns out to be like this." Papp suddenly realized.

    One hundred thousand years ago, when the human race reached its peak in the Immortal Demon Continent, there were nine holy lands, each of which controlled the nine inheritance scriptures. A sudden great change in the world caused the Immortal Demon Continent to suffer a devastating blow.  The human race suffered the heaviest loss, the seven holy lands were destroyed, the inheritance was cut off, and only two of the nine heavenly books remained.  The young Ling Feng was born in the sky, killed gods and demons, defied the nine heavens, fought the six reincarnations, led the human race back to the peak, and took charge of the Hongmeng Avenue.

 Text 904 [Issuing banknotes]

    "What's wrong with Mr. Song Ge?" Zhao Han asked.

    ? Famous doctor Zhang Lu replied: "Exogenous wind-cold-damp evil, the whole body's meridians are not smooth. This is arthralgia."

    "Speak human words." Zhao Han said in a bad mood.

    Zhang Lu popped out two words: "Rheumatism."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Very serious?"

    Zhang Lu replied: "The bones in the knee and ankle have been deformed, and the pain is so painful that I can't get off the ground. I need long-term treatment and rest."

    "Understood," Zhao Han said, waving his hands, "you should treat him with all your heart.

    Zhang Lu bid farewell.

    Zhao Han buried his head in Song Yingxing's resignation letter, and quickly replied with two words: No.

    It is false not to allow, but three requests and three resignations are required.

    Immediately afterwards, Zhao Han added an official to Song Yingxing, a false title of honor.  This is to prepare for Song Yingxing's retirement. Once he resigns, he will be promoted once, and he will be able to return to his hometown when he officially retires.

    Song Yingxing is about to retire from illness, and Fei Chun is in Dingyou.

    There is also Xiao Huan, who has been Ding You for a year and a half.  Xiao Huan first engaged in intelligence, and then took charge of the criminal law for more than ten years.  After joining the cabinet, he is also responsible for legal affairs, revision of old laws, and promulgation of new laws. He knows these things best.  The Ministry of Punishment handed over the plan to the cabinet, mainly relying on Xiao Huan to review it, and the chief assistant and the emperor were responsible for the final decision.

    Zhao Han continued to review the memorial, but it was Zhang Guowei's memorial, requesting an additional 2 million taels of silver to build the dam and gate of Anshan Lake.

    Zhang Guowei artificially diverted the Yellow River, and half of the river route was different from the Yellow River hundreds of years later.

    The Yellow River of later generations suddenly turned to the northeast in Lanyang, which was caused by the breach of the embankment of the copper tile chamber.

    The collapse of the copper tile chamber is not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.

    The Qing Dynasty followed the idea of ??the Ming Dynasty to manage the Yellow River. In order to maintain water transportation, embankments were built on the north bank every year, forcing the Yellow River to flow into the Huaihe River.  In the Huanghuai River section, a large amount of sediment was silted up, causing the eastern section of the Yellow River in Henan to breach all the year round. Every time the breach was completed, embankments were built, drinking poison to quench thirst and maintaining water transportation.

    In this case, in the early years of Yongzheng, a breach occurred near the Tongwaxiang.  At that time, the river bed was not high, so embankments were blocked and embankments were built. Over time, it became dangerous work.  By the end of Qianlong, the situation was even worse, and it could no longer be blocked, so water could only be released in the middle to release the flood.  By the end of Jiaqing, the situation was extremely dangerous, and money had to be spent every year.

    Until the Daoguang period, this dangerous Yellow River road had become a hard-hit area for corruption.  The imperial court allocates funds for governance every year, but less than one-tenth of the funds actually used for projects, and more than 90% of the money has been embezzled.

    Putting corruption aside, if the flood does not come any year, the officials will take the initiative to break the embankment, flooding countless villages on the north bank, and take the opportunity to ask the court for money to build the embankment.

    The embankment was built every year, but it fell into disrepair for a long time. The Yellow River broke through here, and it happened to coincide with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Manchu Qing court directly destroyed it.

    If it is flooded, it will be flooded, let's lie flat, and the Yellow River will change its course as it likes, gradually forming the Yellow River waterway hundreds of years later.

    The situation faced by the Datong Xin Dynasty is different. The Tongwaxiang is not dangerous at this time. The real danger is the Huanglinggang area, where various breaches have occurred since the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

    So Zhang Guowei diverted the water in Huanglinggang, widening the channel of Weishui several times.  From now on, the main road of the Yellow River will flow through Caozhou and Yuncheng, merge into Anshan Lake and intersect with the Grand Canal, and then merge with Dawen River and Guangji Canal on the west side of Dong'e.

    Anshan Lake is the Dongping Lake of later generations, but it is several times larger than Dongping Lake and extends all the way to Liangshan.

    And Guangji Canal is the Jindi River.

    If Zhang Guowei does this, the Grand Canal from Liaocheng to Jining will be messed up, and it will be difficult to sail when the flood breaks out in summer.  As time goes by, the sediment accumulation is serious, and that section of the Grand Canal may be completely abolished.  This is also the reason why the Ming and Qing dynasties did not want the Yellow River to divert.  Once the canal is abandoned, what about water transport?

    In addition, the Yellow River flows into Anshan Lake. After tens of hundreds of years, the area of ??the lake continues to grow, and it is very likely that it will become Liangshan Lake again!

    The overall situation is like this. Compared with the Yellow River hundreds of years later, only the river course from Henan to Dong'e is different.  Since then, it has been exactly the same. They are all in the territory of Dong'e, and flow into the ocean through the Daqing River. There will definitely be no Daqing River in the future, and the Daqing River will become the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

    The Grand Canal is still extremely important. Zhang Guowei asked for money this time because he wanted to build multi-level dams and gates in the north and south of Anshan Lake to prevent the Yellow River from flooding the canal as much as possible.

    It is 2 million taels at the first opening!

    There are other funds invested. Both Caozhou City and Dong'e County have to be relocated to avoid the Yellow River. If you don't pay attention, the two cities will become yellow-flooded areas.  1

    To relocate and rebuild the two cities, a lot of silver has to be poured in.  Including the Yellow River project, the total budget will definitely exceed 1000;Yun Chu walked over with a smile and said, "Why haven't you rested yet?"

    Gentle looked up at Yunchu and said: "Others wear clothes and eat clothes for the sake of beauties, but I am gentle and wear clothes and clothes and eat and sleep for a man."  "

    Yun Chu laughed loudly and said, "What do you want to find from these documents?"

    Rourou picked up a thick stack of papers and threw it in front of Yunchu, saying: "Naturally, I want to find rumors that can make me hear about things."

    Yun Chu smiled and said, "Grand Ying said that killing a few subordinates is nothing."

    Gentle sneered and said: "It's nothing if he kills a few subordinates, it's nothing if it's not you Yunchu who kills a few subordinates. You have to distinguish the difference between the two. Your teacher Li Yifu got a prisoner out of the prison."  There was almost a big problem with the beauty sleeping. If His Majesty hadn't helped him, he would have been feeding mosquitoes in Lingnan by now.

    Since people have died here, we must have evidence to prove that the death of these people has nothing to do with you, but only with the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

    According to the truth, in the Tang Dynasty, only His Majesty and the law to kill people are in line with all moral requirements, otherwise, they are all illegal.  "

    Yun Chu smiled and said, "Did you find it?"

    He smiled softly and said: "Of course I found it, but I also found out more about the county magistrate of Wannian County, the county magistrate, and the master book. I have compiled it into a book. As long as you need it, I will help you  You deliver it."

    Yun Chu nodded and said: "You're right, it's not time to kill Zheng County Magistrate, Huang County Chancellor, and Master Qian. Wait a minute. If they dare to jump out, we'll kill them all in one go.  Give them the slightest chance to stand up."

    Gentle said with a chuckle: "If you don't need this magistrate surnamed Zheng, just give it to me. I plan to try my hand at him. I will find a fifth-rank official to sacrifice the flag anyway."

 Text 905 [Access to Tibet]

    Handu, the actual ruler of Kham and the eldest son of the fifth son of Gushri Khan, was angry and anxious at this time.

    Although Gushri Khan conquered the Kham area, his ruling foundation was weak and rebellions broke out everywhere.  And Handu is the most brave and intelligent person among the three generations of nobles.

    So, Handu was sent to manage Kham. He almost re-strikeed Kham and brutally suppressed all the conspiring rebels.  Then, the religious reform was carried out. It is inconvenient to say more about this content, otherwise it will definitely be blocked.

    After finally completing the reform, Gushi Khan died suddenly, and officials were sent from Lhasa to harvest the fruits of the reform.

    In a fit of rage, Batang Zongdui, appointed by Lhasa, was expelled from Kham by force by Handu.

    In fact, Gushhan's eldest son and sixth son did not fight at all.  After only a few small-scale frictions, the sixth son surrendered, and the two brothers had to join forces to deal with the local rebel forces.

    The main reason is that Gushi Khan's arrangements during his lifetime were too weird.

    The eldest son in charge of Tibet was thrown to Qinghai to graze.  The six sons in charge of Qinghai were thrown to manage Tibet.

    The eldest son is good at fighting and has the priority of inheritance.

    The six sons are good at governance and have a great view of the overall situation.  Facing the local rebel forces in Qinghai-Tibet and the Datong Army that was about to move, he voluntarily gave up the struggle for power and assisted his elder brother to clean up the rebel army.

    The current situation is that the eldest son is communicating with various forces in Tibet.  The six sons returned to Qinghai to appease the interior, because the other brothers were fighting for grass.  In particular, the fifth brother was the fiercest contender, because the fifth brother's son, Handu, actually controls the entire Kham area.

    Internal and external troubles!

    "Has the Han army approached Dajian Furnace?" Han Du asked.  The subordinate replied: "Half a month ago, it was already close to Dajian Furnace, and now I'm afraid it has been shot down."

    Handu said, "Did Seqinnai vote for the Han people?"

    The subordinate replied: "Not sure."

    Seqin Nai is the Batang Zongdui who was expelled by Handu.

    Zongdui, the local administrator.  In the important area, there are two Dzongdui, one monk and one layman.  In the secondary area, there is only one dzong, either monk or layman.

    "Go and find out more information." Handu ordered.

    "yes!"

    For the Mongols, Kham is divided into upper, middle and eastern parts.  The core territory of the Mongols was the Kham region in the central part, while the Tibetan nobles in the upper part and the east had fierce conflicts, and the Mongols could maintain their rule through mediation.

    Handu's strategic plan is to directly abandon the Western Sichuan Plateau.  One can stretch the supply line of the Changtong Army, and the other can choose to fight at higher altitudes.

    When the Mongols arrived in Qinghai-Tibet, they were overwhelmed by the plateau climate, and Handu also wanted the Datong Army to have a taste of it.

    Huang Yao, the commander-in-chief of the southern line of the Datong Army, marched all the way from Sichuan to Dajianlu, and all the way from Lijiang to Zhongdian.  The number of people is not too much, there are 5,000 soldiers in each of the two routes, and the rest are all logistics troops.

    Unexpectedly smooth, did not encounter any resistance along the way.

    ?The troops from Lijiang quickly captured Zhongdian, and then went to Shangri-La.  Continue up the valley and capture Batang with little effort.

    The troops led by Huang Yao were in the same situation. They fought all the way from Dajianlu to Gandosi without even seeing the Mongolian soldiers.

    "It's so abnormal, there must be a trick!" Huang Yao frowned.

    Se Chin Nai said: "The general must be careful. Kandu is resourceful and brave. In fact, he brought down the Kham area by himself. He also suppressed the rebellion in Kham area for more than ten years."

    "Hmph, it's nothing more than luring the enemy to go deep." Huang Yao sneered.

    Immediately afterwards, he ordered a suspension of the march, and stayed in Gandosi for a few days to rest.

    During this period, the non-combat attrition situation of the whole army will be counted.

    This is just the plateau in western Sichuan, and the altitude is not too high.  The soldiers brought by Huang Yao were stationed on the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau all year round, and they had no fart response in the western Sichuan border.  But those logistics troops, some farmers and soldiers have abnormalities, but they haven't died yet.

    Separated the peasants and soldiers from the logistics force, occupied the key points along the way, settled the food stations along the way, and then Huang Yao continued to move forward.

    ?On the way to Zaquka, at an altitude of 3,000 meters, a few Datong troops suffered from altitude sickness, and two logistics troops died suddenly.

    This situation is acceptable. After all, the army does not go there by plane, nor by train or car.  Increase the altitude little by little, the human body has enough time to adapt, and the altitude sickness will not be too serious.

    Arriving at Zaquka, at an altitude of more than 4,000 meters, dozens of Datong soldiers fell ill, and three of them died one after another.

    The Mongols here also ran away!

    Huang Yao held back his anger, unable to destroy the enemy's vitalityLooking at the situation in the mirror, he sighed: "The enemy general is very courageous."

    Of the 14,000 Tibetan soldiers under Nan Se's command, only a thousand were in iron armor, and less than 3,000 were in leather armor.  What are the rest?  Wearing cotton clothes, with a shield hanging on his back, the only weapon is a spear in his hand.

    Those armored soldiers also had very shabby armor, only the key parts of the upper body had armor plates.

    But Nan Se is very confident. The Han army has very few cavalry, and he is only afraid of cavalry.  As for the infantry, he was not afraid of anyone. As long as these outsiders ran vigorously, they would be out of breath from exhaustion, and they would even fall to the ground and die while running.

    HmmNan Se still doesn't know what a musket is.

    "Surround the past and kill the Han army!"

    Just when the civil and military officials were about to follow suit, Zhao Han suddenly asked Chen Maosheng: "If I were a spring breeze, what kind of snow would I sweep? What kind of flowers would I leave behind?" Chen Maosheng replied: "Your Majesty sweeps  Those who left were rogue Tartars, corrupt officials, and gentry tyrants, while those who left were Sanyuan Chapter, Gewei Theory, and Land Distribution Law.  Zhao Han smiled and asked Qian Qianyi "Does Qian Qing think so?"

    "Of course, yes," Qian Qianyi was a little embarrassed, and then said, "Old Chen Ge knows His Majesty's mind better."  &quot;The rest of the officials have different expressions.  Some were laughing, some were meditating, some were looking away, and some were echoing.  &quot;Hahahaha&quot;

    Zhao Han laughed suddenly, raised his glass and said: "Let's drink this cup!"

    The officials hurriedly toasted, and no one seemed to care about the episode just now.  The accompanying musicians began to play tunes.

    Zhao Han drank a few more cups, then ignored the image of the emperor, closed his eyes and lay on his back on the grass to bask in the sun.  The rest of the ministers dispersed one after another, chatting and having fun in small groups.  Fei Ruhe was also basking in the sun, the spring in Nanjing was really different from the spring in the grassland.

    An old man with white beard and hair walked cautiously to the side of the emperor.  He didn't dare to get too close, and stopped two or three meters away, as if he wanted to speak, but he was afraid of disturbing the emperor's rest.  Zhao Han, whose eyes were slightly closed, suddenly said: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

    The old man cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, my humble minister Tanqian participated in the compilation of "History of Ming Dynasty".  Is the mystery of Ming Taizong's biological mother really shelved? "" What is the theory? It is to preserve historical materials and leave it to future generations to continue to guess.  &quot;Zhao Han said unhappily.

    Tan Qian said with concern: "But this matter has spread to the people, and there are even foolish men and women. Nonsense that Taizong is the posthumous son of Emperor Yuan Shun." Zhao Han said;  I bask in the sun."

    Tan Qian hesitated to speak, but finally retreated silently.

    As early as the Tianqi period, Tan Qian began to compile the history books of the Ming Dynasty by himself, and even went to various parts of the country to conduct investigations.  Because of his mastery of a large number of local chronicles, unofficial histories and field textual research materials, he was absorbed into the compilation team of "History of Ming Dynasty".

    He was usually unable to meet the emperor alone, but today he finally found an opportunity to try to solve the mystery of Zhu Di's biological mother.

    Zhu Di was not born to Empress Ma, this saying existed during the Wanli period.  The 40-volume "Nanjing Taichang Temple Records" compiled by Tianqi in three years confirms this statement.  When Emperor Chongzhen was still there, Tan Qian came to Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and bribed the eunuch to know the truth.  As a result, all the eunuchs guarding the mausoleum said that the records in "Nanjing Taichang Temple Records" were true and that Empress Ma had no biological son.  When the Datong court was editing the "History of Ming Dynasty", Qian Qianyi brought several historians into the Hall of Honor of the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, and was stunned by the scene in front of him.  The main tablet is as follows: Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma are in the middle.  The little-known concubine Shuo was placed alone on the west side; the other twelve concubines were grouped together on the east side.  Concubine Shuo's divine lord ranks only below the emperor and empress, and ranks above all concubines

    Moreover, Prince Zhu Biao, Qin Wang Zhu, and Jin Wang Zhu Tong were all born to Concubine Li Shu.  Zhu Di, King of Yan, was born to Concubine Shuo.  Empress Ma has no biological son.

    This also seems to confirm why Empress Ma married Zhu Yuanzhang, but she did not have a son in the first four years, and Zhu Yuanzhang also adopted several adopted sons during this period.  In the next two years, Empress Ma gave birth to two sons, most likely adopted from her concubine's room.

    However, the records in "Tianhuang Yushu" are different from those in "Nanjing Taichang Temple Chronicles".  There are even two different versions of "Tian Huang Yu Shu".  Also, why are there more than a dozen concubines' tablets placed in Xiangdian?

    Even if Zhu Di wants to make his birth mother famous, he can only put on the gods of Empress Ma and his birth mother.  Some historians of the Imperial Academy also believe that when Jiajing reformed the sacrificial system, the Xiangdian of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum might have been moved.  But even if he moved, Jiajing is also Zhu Di's descendant, and he should cover it up for Zhu Di.  This is an unsolved case, with irrationality everywhere.

    The Imperial Academy discussed it for several years, and in the end it was Zhao Han who made the final decision that Zhu Di was the direct son of Empress Ma—whether it was his own or not, there is no need to write too clearly.  After all, according to Confucian ethics, no matter which concubine was born, the one raised by the main wife is the legitimate son.

    However, the relevant historical materials must be preserved, so that people hundreds of years later can fight for his blood.

    "Ming History" has been published, but Tan Qian is very serious and always wants to investigate this matter clearly.  He intends to ask the emperor to search the glazed pagoda, maybe there is relevant evidence inside.  "Alas!" Tan Qian sighed.

    Zhu Minghao walked behind him at some point, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Tan, why should you do this? Your Majesty made it very clear that no matter who gave birth, as long as it was raised by Empress Ma, Ming Taizong is the direct prince."  &quot;

    &nIt's scratching your head.

    Moreover, the European envoys had to be careful not to make martial arts look like magic and witchcraft, otherwise the pope would definitely be dissatisfied.

    These translated versions of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" quickly became popular in Europe, Persia, and India because they bear the name of the Chinese emperor.  No matter how you explain it, it is useless. Readers from all over the world who have read the novel are convinced that Chinese warriors have magical abilities.

    Then, there will always be one or two Chinese supporting roles in literary works of various countries, especially novels and dramas.

    Those Chinese supporting characters, from the far east, are the downcast nobles of China.  They have great strength and often help the protagonist to tide over difficulties at critical times.

    Or, simply, the heroine is from China and engages in a vigorous foreign romance - this kind of novel inevitably imitates "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".  The hero is upright, resolute, and noble, similar to Guo Jing.  The heroine is smart and good at martial arts, and assists the hero to do great things, similar to Huang Rong.

    Even some aristocrats, because they are fans of Huang Rong, directly named their daughters "Fu Rong" when they named their daughters.  Because the translator has a comment, Huang Rong is the colorful lotus.

 Text 916 [Orchid's Belly Dance]

    Today's Qinhuai River is different.

    ?As the imperial court allowed prostitutes to practice freely, coupled with the perfect immigration system, many men and women engaged in the sex industry have moved north to start their new lives.  Anyway, when I went to the north, no one knew about my past and could live like a normal person.

    ? As far as Qinhuai River is concerned, a strict investigation will be conducted every two or three years to see which business is not in compliance with the rules and restricts women's personal freedom.  "In addition to criticizing Tian Zheng, many bosses and famous prostitutes were implicated.  After the boss was exiled, other merchants took over and simply changed the brothel into a washhouse.  If you have to define Washe, it can be understood as a comprehensive commercial place.

    There is a stage for performing talents and an area for selling goods.  After watching the magic show here, you can go to the shopping area for consumption after walking a certain distance.  Washer, there are meat and vegetables.  1

    The meat ones also run brothels, while the vegetarian ones are more formal.  2

    The brothels on the Qinhuai River have been changed into tile houses one after another, which is a manifestation of the prosperity of the citizen economy.  There are more and more citizens with spare money, and the number of consumers continues to grow. Operating a comprehensive house can make more money than a pure brothel.  With the increase in the number of washrooms, merchants will inevitably roll up.  At the beginning, tickets are required, and you can only enter after paying money.

    Gradually, a free admission model has emerged, and you can stroll around without paying a penny.  "The performance makes you enjoy watching, and you can give a reward on the spot. When you get tired of watching the performance, go to the shopping area. Even if you don't buy gold and silver jewelry, you can still buy three melons and two dates.

    Zhao Han went out for an outing in the city and returned to the palace in the middle of the afternoon. Many ministers invited him to go to Washe together.

    Zhang Tieniu, as the Duke of the country, is still so stingy.  Instead of going to the high-end villas that require tickets, he dragged a few generals and friends into a free resistance place.  It was not evening yet, but Washe was already full of people.

    There are even older girls and younger daughters-in-law who follow their families to the Washe for fun. Many children sit on the shoulders of adults, pointing to a certain stage and yelling excitedly.  Since there is no auditorium around the relatively low-end stage of Washer, everyone stood in place to watch the performance.

    Zhang Tieniu happily stood in the crowd, performing acrobatics on the stage.  I saw a man wielding a sword, playing with it, and then began to swallow the sword. The two-foot-long sword was thrust into his mouth suddenly, causing the audience to scream.  &quot;Good&quot;

    Zhang Tieniu applauded and clapped his hands.  Fei Ruhe rolled his eyes. He was forced to come here. He was not interested in this kind of performance. He knew that the sword swallowing was a fake.  Suddenly a young man came and squeezed through the crowd with a wooden sign: "Peanuts, melon seeds, cheese, cakes, sesame sugar, honey water" Here are some packets of peanuts.  &quot; Zhang Tieniu shouted.  &quot;Okay!&quot;

    The boy left happily, and brought the peanuts after a while.

    The fried peanuts are wrapped in straw paper, and the price is more expensive than outside.  But the audience is enjoying themselves, and they don’t care how much it costs. They eat snacks while watching the show, how comfortable and enjoyable they are

    Another peddler came over with a shelf. The so-called shelf is the straw tied on the top of the bamboo pole.  All kinds of toys and snacks are inserted on the straw and sold exclusively to children.  &quot;Windwheel (windmill), Dad, I want a windwheel.  "Sure enough, the child couldn't stand the temptation and begged his father to buy something.  &quot;Jewelry!Jewelry!&quot;

    There are also hawkers selling jewelry, all of which are low-end goods, and the target group is women from ordinary families.  Women and children's money has always been the best money.

    When these hawkers enter the market to sell things, they need to pay the Washe, which is usually calculated on a monthly basis.  The fixed stalls in the shopping area are more expensive and the goods are more high-end.

    As night fell, the lights were turned on, and the tourists in Washeri also reached the peak period, and several places near the stage were directly overwhelmed.

    This kind of cottage is often several brothels under the market, and then the walls are built and merged, covering a very large area.  The original brothel building, of course, continues to operate, there is food, and the consumption is higher than that in the open air outside.

    After watching the performance for a while, Zhang Tieniu and others went to eat and drink together.  There is also a small stage inside, which is telling stories.

    The generals ordered some food and wine, and while they were changing glasses, Wu Song finished talking about fighting the tiger.

    Then a Yiru came out and made all kinds of antics, making the guests laugh.  There are also reverse actors dressed as matchmakers, who come out to interact with Yiru, telling some dirty jokes in the market.  As we talked, we talked about interesting things overseas, and then led to the next Orchid performance.  The so-called orchids are actually Indian Brahmin women.

    Years of wars in India, especially the rebel Sivaji, has occupied half of Bijapur's land.  This guy likes to sell the captive pagan nobles as slaves to the Portuguese, and many Brahmin women are sold to China in this way.

    The cheerful Indian dance music sounded, &quot;?"Ji Ji" was wearing exotic clothes, with her snow-white belly exposed.  For the sake of retro, a lot of rotating movements have been added, and the audience can't figure it out, anyway, it just needs to dance well.

    Especially the white belly, the belly button is still wearing a navel ring, how exciting it is to twist and turn, Chinese women are not so out of the ordinary.  &quot;Good&quot;

    Looking excitedly, some guests started tipping and throwing money directly on the stage.

    Zhang Tieniu is almost fifty years old, and his whole body is hot from being hooked.  He asked in a low voice: "Where did this kind of orchid come from?" It must be the Western Regions.  &quot; Fei Ruhe said.

    Yang Zhan had been leading troops in Guangnan Province for several years, so he was quite clear about this kind of thing, so he explained, "Some came from Persia, and some came from India. They were all slaves. They were shipped to Macau for bulk cargo, and then sold to the mainland by traders.  The orchid in front of me is of first-class figure and appearance, and must have been trained for a few years, at least worth hundreds or thousands of taels of silver. "So expensive" Zhang Tieniu widened his eyes.

    Jiang Dashan has been back to Nanjing for two or three years. He said with a smile, “Last year there was an orchid who was sold to China at the age of nine and trained for several years.  The poems and essays are well written. A wealthy businessman bought them, guess how much money they cost? &quot;&quot;How much?&quot; Fei Ruhe couldn't help asking. Jiang Dashan gestured.

    "Eight hundred taels" muttered Zhang Tieniu, "it's not expensive either."  ""Eight thousand taels!" Jiang Dashan said.

    Zhang Tieniu was stunned and said: "Eight thousand taels? How many cattle are it worth?"

    Yang Zhan said with a smile: "Grandpa Zhang, you don't understand this. There is no shortage of orchids in China, and there is no shortage of orchids who are good at poetry and painting. But they are beautiful and know everything, but they are rare. This  Wealthy merchants bought them home, and ordinary people came to visit, so they let orchids dance and sing; literati came to visit, and let orchids write poems and lyrics. Think about it, how much face does that have? Merchants have no status, what they lack is face  "

    &quot;That is true.  &quot; Zhang Tieniu nodded, and then looked at the dancing orchid, feeling very eager to buy an orchid.

    He had won many rewards for his military exploits.  After winning the battle against Khalkha Mongolia and obtaining the right to operate a mine, there is really no shortage of money in hand.  Lao Zhang is also going to fall, so why not go back to Nanjing?

    how long.

    Fei Ruhe wondered in his heart whether he should also buy an orchid.  Although he has no interest in orchids, he has to buy them for the sake of face, otherwise everyone else has them, but his family doesn't have them.

    Zhang Tieniu pointed to Jiang Dashan: "Do you have an orchid in your family?" Jiang Dashan smiled and said nothing.

    "Hey, you're still hiding, I didn't see you last time I went to your house!" Zhang Tieniu scolded with a smile.

    These military generals were having fun in Washe, while Qian Qianyi and a group of civil servants were listening to music in the painting boat on Xuanwu Lake.

    Qian Qianyi is already old, and he is powerless about female sex, mainly communicating and discussing art.  But today I'm not in a good mood, drinking in silence while listening to the music.  Others don't bother, knowing that he is unhappy.

    As for the reason, I accidentally slapped the emperor's ass on the horse's leg, which misinterpreted the meaning of the emperor's poem.

    Although Zhu Minghao is young, he is only 50 years old this year.  But he and Zhang Pu are good friends, and they both joined the Hanlin Academy to compile history, and they also had a good friendship with Qian Qianyi, so he said in a low voice at this moment: "Shou Weng, Your Majesty has a broad mind, and won't get angry just because of a few words.  "I'm not because of this." Qian Qianyi said.

    Zhu Minghao said with a smile, "Your Majesty's mind, you and I both understand, and you can do things according to the holy will. Look at those officials who committed crimes, wealthy businessmen and powerful people, all of them were dispatched to Heilongjiang and Tibet. But the peasants and soldiers who killed officials in Yunnan clearly committed crimes.  He was sentenced to death, but he was only exiled to the Pingnan Military and Civil Division. Is that also called exile? To put it bluntly, he is an immigrant!" Qian Qianyi sighed: "Your Majesty treats ordinary people so kindly."

    ?The Yunnan farmers and soldiers were good at killing the town mayor, which was tantamount to rebellion, but they were only exiled in Burma.  How far is the distance between Yunnan and Myanmar? That's exile.

    However, Zhao Han published the ins and outs of the matter in detail in "Datong Monthly".  The news spread to all provinces across the country, and many grassroots officials who oppressed the people were frightened, fearing that the peasants and soldiers under their rule would also kill them to vent their anger.  {3 &quot;Drink, drink.  &quot; Zhu Mingjin said with a smile.

    Zhu Minghao's father was a martial artist in the Ming Dynasty.  Because of his father's early death and his family's rapid decline, he had to give up his studies and become a teacher to support his mother and younger brother Chongzhen. Before he died, Zhu Minghao was evaluated as "the first person to restore society".  Not only because of his talent and learning, but also because of his filial piety.

    Moreover, although all his friends have wives and concubines, Zhu Minghao insists on not taking concubines.  After entering the Hanlin Academy as an official, a businessman asked him to write an epitaph. He didn't charge money if he had a good reputation, but he refused directly if he had a bad reputation.  Nowadays, living on dead wages, life is plain and ordinary.

    Zhu Minghao is very satisfied with the new dynasty of Datong. Isn't the current stable situation what he pursued when he joined Fushe?

    He often wrote articles praising the new dynasty, and also wrote a novel, which recorded the social changes in Ming Dynasty from the perspective of a down-and-out literati.  But this novel is not popular in the circle. Many of the old friends from Fushe secretly ridiculed him as a sycophant.

    ? President Wu of the "Datong Monthly" resigned many times due to old illness, and rumors spread that the emperor wanted Zhu Minghao to take over the "Datong Monthly".He doesn't charge money if he has a good reputation, but he directly refuses if he has a bad reputation.  Nowadays, living on dead wages, life is plain and ordinary.

    ? President Wu of "Datong Monthly" resigned many times because of his old age and illness, and rumors spread faintly that the emperor wanted Zhu Minghao to take over the "Datong Monthly".

 Text 917【The emperor is also a historian】

    Zhu Minghao praised the new dynasty and praised the emperor's political clarity, but also because of Zhao Han's right taste in history.

    In the Tang Dynasty, there was a "Shi Tong", which was the first systematic monograph on historical theory in China, but it did not receive due attention in the Song and Yuan dynasties.

    Until the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Shen came across the manuscript by chance and was deeply shocked by this masterpiece.  There were many errors and missing pages in the manuscript. In the 13th year of Jiajia, Lu Shen finally found the complete Xishu manuscript, so he simplified and revised it into "Shi Tong Hui Yao".

    The publication of "Shi Tong Hui Yao" means that the research on the history of the times has begun to flourish.  The prosperity of historiography is also accompanied by the prosperity of practical studies, and the relationship between the two is mutual promotion.

    Practical learning not only includes mathematics and physics, but also includes traditional classics and history subsets.  The Practical School advocates applying what one has learned. The study of classics and history should not search for chapters and excerpts, but to understand the principles of classics and history. Based on classics and history as a mirror, we can better govern the country and reform society.  At this time, the study of textual research also revealed its glory. Yang Shen, a great talent, pioneered the trend of textual research.

    Zhu Minghao in the late Ming Dynasty was a master of textual research, and he pioneered many methods of governing history.  Strictly speaking, Zhu Minghao was the theoretical founder of textual research in the Qing Dynasty! First, Zhu Minghao opposed qubi and advocated straight script.  History books should be what they should be, and they should not be obscured for anyone, and they should not be deliberately smeared, especially when dynasties change. Second, the sources should be credible, the words should be precise, and the writing should not be ambiguous.  When the facts cannot be ascertained, don't make a conclusion early, and leave it to future generations to continue to study.  third

    Zhao Han's attitude towards "Ming History" made Zhu Minghao feel like a spring breeze.

    This emperor did not smear the previous dynasty, did not smear Chongzhen, everything was realistic, Zhu Minghao thought it was great! Before the end of the Shangsi holiday, Zhu Minghao was recruited into the palace, and saw the emperor fishing in the imperial garden.  【3" Your Majesty, Zhu Minghao, my minister.  &quot;&quot; Find a place to sit by yourself.  &quot;

    There was a small maza next to him, and Zhu Minghao sat down, picked up the fishing rod and baited it, and Zhao Han said with a smile, "You don't see it."  &quot;

    Zhu Minghao immediately said: "The king regards his ministers as his brothers, and the ministers regard him as his heart."  Brothers and sisters, why do you come to see outsiders?" "You are flattering, I really didn't see it."  &quot; Zhao Han couldn't help but smile.

    Zhu Minghao is filial and honest, he does not take concubines, he is not greedy for money, he studies ancient and modern history intensively, he should be a serious old scholar.  But on the contrary, he has a wide range of friends, he can't offend anyone, and he even comes to flatter with his mouth.  As long as it's not a matter of principle, even if he doesn't like his friends' words and deeds, he never speaks harshly to each other, and only reminds them with side-effects.  Facing the emperor's jokes, Zhu Minghao said: "I never say anything against my will."  &quot;

    Zhao Han said: "Old Wu has been sick and asked to resign many times, and it is hard to keep me. From now on, you will be in charge of "Datong Monthly".  Zhu Minghao said, "Your Majesty, the minister is in charge of history."  The minister's ambition is to revise all the ancient and modern history books.  &quot;

    "Which history books need to be revised?" Zhao Han asked.  Zhu Minghao said, ""Book of Song" and "Book of Sui" are both ridiculed history, and what is lost is corrected."  Moreover, both books are misnamed.  It is called "Song Shu", but it is mixed with things about Wu, Jin, Shu, and Wei; it is called "Sui Shu", but it is also mixed with things about Liang, Chen, Qi, and Zhou.  If you feel that the history writing is incomplete, you can just annotate the history like Pei Songzhi, and you can't add things in it.  "6 "What else?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhu Minghao replied: "For another example, in the "Book of Southern Qi", in the biography of "Good Government", there are two people who do not need to be recorded, one person who should not be recorded, and two people who are not included. There is an appendix "Xiaoyi" which should be changed into "Good Government"  "One person. The history books of all dynasties, all these, are too numerous to enumerate, and they can all be revised."

    Zhu Minghao also wanted to delete many "likes" from historians in the history books of the past dynasties.  Either the praise is unreasonable, or the praise is commonplace. The only function of these praises is to waste paper and ink and waste readers' time.

    Zhao Han put down his fishing rod and said: "I have also read Qing's political history papers, and I generally agree with them, but there are some points that I disagree with."  Zhu Minghao's expression became serious, and he put down his fishing rod, and said: "Please correct me, Your Majesty."  &quot;

    "Qing's history of governance only focuses on politics and ignores other things," Zhao Han said seriously, "food economy, literary rhetoric, Buddhism, Taoism, and religion are also extremely important.  With these in the history books, hundreds of years later, people can know how much money the predecessors paid for a catty of rice, know what style of writing prevailed in a certain dynasty, and know what sects the men and women believed in at that time through reading history.

    Zhu Minghao said: ""Shihuo Zhi" is naturally important, but literature, Buddhism and Taoism do not need to be included in history books. History books must be refined. If you want to know the style of writing in the previous dynasty, you can just read the articles of the previous dynasty, or have a special research article  And that Buddhism and Taoism are heretics, not classics of the country, and should not be set in history books.He opened his mouth even more.  As long as it's not a matter of principle, even if he doesn't like his friends' words and deeds, he never speaks harshly to each other, and only reminds them with side-effects.  Facing the emperor's jokes, Zhu Minghao said: "I never say anything against my will."  &quot;

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "The history of literature is also history, and the history of religion is also history. In the Zhengjia period of the previous Ming Dynasty, why did the former seven sons suddenly appear? Suddenly there was a need for literary improvement? And when literature was improved, why did Yangming appear at the same time?  Psychology and Neo-Confucianism &quot;

    Zhu Minghao was thoughtful, and seemed to have grasped the point, but he didn't pierce through a layer of window paper.  Anyway, he didn't want to understand, Zhu Minghao cupped his hands and said, "Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."  &quot;

    Zhao Han said: "At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, people's livelihoods withered, and the economy was in decline. At the same time, the Yuan Dynasty was shameful for a hundred years, and culture and education were sluggish. Faced with this situation, Ming Taizu and Ming Taizong, their top priority is to expel the Tartars and let the world  Stability means keeping the people fed and clothed. Not to mention external wars, if you want to be stable internally, you need to unify the thoughts of the government and the public. That's why stereotypes are needed, so it is necessary to compile the "Four Books" and "Five Classics".  Some words of Mencius have been deleted, and Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism has also been distorted and interpreted." "That's true." Zhu Minghao nodded.

    Zhao Han continued: "This kind of ideological confinement was beneficial to stability in the early Ming Dynasty. On this basis, Emperor Hongwu even came up with a whole set of rules. Some gods were deleted for rating, and some gods were dismissed as fake.  God. Even the monks are not allowed to eat meat anymore. There is a set of village drinking rituals in towns and villages across the country, and what the common people should do is stipulated. At that time, people were calm, business was not prosperous, and the countryside was still bartering  Most traders buy and sell goods in neighboring counties, and the transportation across provinces depends entirely on the imperial court. Although Emperor Hongwu had strict rules, the people all over the world liked them. Zhu Minghao nodded subconsciously.

    Zhao Han went on to say: "But in the Hongzhi and Zhengde dynasties, these rules are out of date, and the distorted Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism is no longer useful. You participated in the compilation of "History of Ming Dynasty", you can go to the Shihuo Zhi at that time,  Is it the prosperity of industry and commerce? Is it because a large number of farmers left the countryside and went to the cities to make a living? The food crop system exists in name only, and no one mentions the drinking rituals in the villages." "Indeed." Zhu Minghao agreed.  If you study ancient and modern times, if you discuss history, you will never be as good as one!"

    Zhao Han said, "Since you want to manage history, then continue to manage it. "Datong Monthly" can also be managed. The specific affairs are handled by the deputy. You are only responsible for reviewing important articles." "Chen Lingzhi"  ;

    What Zhu Minghao is thinking now is to hurry home and write a thesis, combine what the emperor said just now with his own historical research, and reformulate the future historical research methods.

 Text 918【Economics】

    During the holiday, there were only a few officials on duty in the Imperial Academy.

    Zhu Minghao took the outline of the thesis he wrote last night and went to the library of the Imperial Academy to search for information.

    As soon as he entered the library, he bumped into Zhu Cizhao, "Mr. Zhaoqi, there is a five-day holiday for the Shangsi Festival, and you will come to study knowledge after only three days." "Isn't Zhu Yushi also here?" Zhu Minghao laughed.

    Yushi is a respectful title, the ancient official name of a librarian, just like calling a magistrate a prefect.

    Zhu Cizhao's biological mother and sister were both accepted as concubines by the emperor.  Although the final score is a bit messy, it does not prevent Zhu Cizhao's status from rising.  Of course, the emperor was rather stingy, and he didn't award any titles. He just promoted Zhu Ciyi from an ordinary official to a small official in charge of the library.  Zhu Ciyi was about to speak when he saw Song Yingxing coming in with a cane.  "Meet Shou Kui!" The two quickly bowed to each other.

    Song Yingxing waved his hand and said: "I've retired, and I'm no longer the chief assistant. I came here today just to find a few books." Zhu Ciyi quickly asked, "What books does Shoukui want to read, juniors go find it immediately." No need.  "Song Yingxing waved his hand.

    Zhu Ciyi and Zhu Mingjin supported Song Yingxing to walk in from left to right.  Not long after, the cabinet minister Wu Yingji also came.

    Zhu Ciyi felt very rare that a retired chief minister and a current cabinet minister came to the library to get together today.

    Song Yingxing was actually in good health, but when the rheumatism broke out, he couldn't get out of bed because of the pain.  After the beginning of spring, the symptoms eased, and I was able to walk on crutches by myself.  After he resigned, he did not return to Jiangxi immediately, but stayed in Nanjing intending to make a Bodhisattva book.

    Wu Yingji sat down next to Ruo Song Yingxing, Zhu Cizhao brewed good tea himself, and then stood by and listened to what they had to say.  Wu Yingji said: "Yesterday, what Shou Kui said made me suddenly understand."  The core of this economics seems to be in the word "currency".  The word "economy" has existed in ancient times, and it is the abbreviation of "Economizing the country and benefiting the people" and "Economizing the world and benefiting the people".  But Zhao Han often used it in other words, and the ministers gradually got used to it, and the meaning of the word gradually changed to the economy of later generations.

    Song Yingxing said: "Since ancient times, when it comes to economics, Guanzi must be the most important."  Guan Zhong talked about the three powers of economic contingency.  When I was young, I inspected all kinds of industries, when I was in my prime, I minted coins for the court to make money, and in my later years, I assisted Your Majesty in sorting out the state affairs.  Usually talking with His Majesty, I also learned a lot.  Now that I am retired at home, reading "Zengzi" again, I have a new experience.  "Please enlighten me." Wu Yingji handed over.

    ? Song Yingxing said, "Zeng Zhongzhi's right of heaven refers to the time of day. Floods, droughts, locusts, snow and epidemics will all affect a country's economy."  Land rights refer to property, including cultivated land, mines, woods, and lakes.  There is a saying about human rights, which is also the core of economics.

    Wu Yingji said: "The human rights I understand are adjustment and opening and closing."

    Adjustment is the country's grain storage in good years and the balustrade in bad years.  To put it bluntly, the government manipulates commodities and prices to achieve the goal of governing the country, weakening enemies, cracking down on profiteers, and stabilizing society.

    Opening and closing can be understood as macro-control, encouraging or restricting certain commercial behaviors, and guiding the market to develop in accordance with the government's vision.  These contents, the pipe fittings are very clear.

    Song Yingxing said: "The changes of the world have changed over time. Some of the economic methods in "Zengzi" are outdated now, and some of them are missing. Compared with the pre-Qin period, all industries are prosperous today.  Coins are also used to buy goods.  There is also the right to land rights. From there, Spain shipped countless silver to China.  Xingxi's geographical advantage can also be used by China through commercial trade.  &quot;

    Wu Yingji nodded and said: "Indeed."  &quot;

    Song Yingxing also said, "Guan Zhong manages the country through financial management, advocating frugal use and enriching the people."  This is right, but he uses rituals to enrich the people and govern.  The reasoning is generally correct, but it needs to be changed slightly.

    "It is necessary to change it." Wu Yingji said.

    Guan Zhong's "Enriching the People with Government", the content is: lightly collect agricultural taxes, collect commercial taxes equally, limit the number of merchants, carefully expropriate corvees, and ensure agricultural production.  Zhao Han's philosophy of governing the country is roughly the same as this set of methods.  But instead of restricting the number of merchants, it is encouraging the development of industry and commerce.

    Guan Zhong's "Festival with propriety".  On the surface, it is talking about what clothes the emperor, princes, and doctors should wear, but it is actually talking about the country's administrative expenses.  Don't set up official positions that don't do anything, and don't confer unnecessary titles indiscriminately. The Song and Ming dynasties obviously violated Guan Zhong's thought.  There were a lot of redundant officials in the Song Dynasty, and a large nest of clans in the Ming Dynasty.  But some of Guan Zhong's methods are obviously outdated.

    ?For example, Guan Zhong said that the government can do business in person, which will inevitably make the market deserted.  When the market is deserted, there will be fewer merchants, and agricultural labor will be sufficient.  When agriculture is booming, there will be no shortage of national tax revenue.

    This is obviously because of the low productivity at that time, so the agricultural labor force must be guaranteed, and the number of merchant groups must be suppressed.  Suddenly, Song Yingxing said to Zhu Cizhao:?&quot;I once read a copy of "Xujiang Anthology". I don't know if it is here. You can find it.  Zhu Ciyi asked, "Which dynasty is this "Xujiang Anthology"?" Song Dynasty.  &quot;Song Yingxing said.

    Zhu Ciyi acted immediately and found it soon, but it was already rotten.  Song Yingxing said to Wu Yingji, "This book has "Strategies for Enriching the Country." Wu Yingji flipped through it curiously, and started reading it on the spot.

    ?The first article talks about the need for money to govern the country, and officials should not shy away from talking about profit.  The second one is to curb land mergers.  The fifth article is to suppress the number of borrowings.  The seventh chapter discusses the making of seals in Yicang.  The third and eighth chapters deal with money.  The fourth, sixth, ninth, and tenth chapters discuss industry and commerce.

    The author Li Liang, when discussing the land issue, from the perspective of labor force and means of production, believes that land is beautiful and destroys the close combination of labor force "peasant" and means of production (land).  Therefore, it will definitely hinder agricultural production.

    When discussing currency, it also talked about inflation and deflation, and believed that prices that were too high or too low were not good for the people.  In addition, cheap grain hurts farmers, and expensive grain hurts farmers.  When discussing industry and commerce, industrial and commercial practitioners are divided into three categories: wealthy businessmen, wealthy industrialists, small handicraftsmen, and small traders.  (Li Kai believes that the industrial and commercial people engaged in the production and distribution of luxury goods in the Tang Dynasty are "vagrants" and should be cracked down and let them do business.) "This is really a great Confucianism!" Wu Yingji sighed after reading it.

    Li Liang is of course Dawu of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zeng Gong is his student, and Wang Anshi is his friend.  He was able to go to Taixue to teach because Fan Zhongyan recommended it many times.

    ? Fan Zhongyan’s New Deal and Wang Anshi’s Reform were more or less influenced by some of Li Liang’s economic thoughts.  Song Yingxing said: "Since ancient times, Bodhisattvas in our country have been established at a high level, but I heard that Qintianyuan adopted the ideas of European scholars and did the opposite. Break down a big thing so that it cannot be further divided.  To study these small details. We study economics, can we do the same?"

    After the envoys returned from Europe, they brought back Descartes' thoughts, which the Qintian Academy unanimously agreed with, and now the epistemology and methodology of scientific research have been established.

    Song Yingcheng is the person who wrote "Tiangong Kaiwu", and he always likes to explore the details and process.  Reminded by the situation of Qintianyuan, the idea of ??re-studying economics was born.  "How to subdivide" Wu Yingji felt at a loss.  &quot;Currency!&quot;

    Song Yingxing said, "National use and people's livelihood, local agriculture, industry and commerce are nothing more than goods and currency."  Goods are real and yang, currency is virtual and yin, the combination of virtual and real, and the interaction of yin and yang, is a complete economy.  '

    Wu Yingji thought carefully and subconsciously nodded in agreement.

    "Is it possible to define these economic terms like studying physics and mathematics?" Song Yingxing said, "goods" are goods, and things are things.  Let’s define things first, the sun, the moon, mountains and rivers, black beasts, fish and insects, flowers, trees, grass and rocks, everything that can be seen everywhere is a thing.  Wu Yingji said: "When things are exchanged, they are goods!"

    Song Yingxing said, "It's not enough. Things are dead, and they need people to exchange them. Fish are in the water, and they can be sold after they are caught. Iron is in the mountains, and it can only be mined and refined. If things are turned into goods, people need to work.  Only labor is not enough. If you catch fish and eat it yourself, but don’t sell it, it is not called goods. Therefore, the definition of goods is labor objects that appear for trade.

    &quot;Excellent!&quot; Wu Yingji applauded.

    Suddenly, Wu Yingji said to Zhu Ciyi: "Please fetch your pen."  &quot;

    Zhu Cizhao ran very fast, poured water and grinded the ink himself, and said courteously: "The two gentlemen continued to say, the younger generation is here to record."

    Wu Yingxiao muttered to himself: "What elements should the currency have? It is used to exchange goods, as long as it can be exchanged, it doesn't have to be gold, silver and copper coins. In the early years, some places in Yunnan still used shell coins.  Song Yingxing said, "Currency is also a kind of goods, because it contains all the elements of goods. But it is different from ordinary goods. It is a currency that can be exchanged for any goods."

    Wu Yingmei said, "Goods have a price, and money has value."  In the exchange of currency and currency, the value must be equal, at least both buyers and sellers think that they are equal in value.  Therefore, currency is an equivalent currency, and it is an equivalent currency specially used for transactions.

    "It can be defined in this way," Song Yingxing turned his head and said, "write it down."  &quot;Zhu Ciyi hurriedly moved his pen to record the content quickly.

    Song Yingxing said: "Money and currency have already been defined."  Let's define a few requirements for the goods.  How did the goods come from?&quot;

    "There must be people, no, there must be workers, or producers," said the Ouija Book. "It is not enough to have producers. You can't make goods out of thin air. You must rely on certain resources. For example, mining, there must be mines  , and like farming, you must have land. What are these things called? Song Yingxing said: "Production materials."

    "Yes," Wu Ying said with a smile, "producers use production materials and turn them into goods through labor. Is this land considered a commodity? Land can be bought and sold in the previous dynasty, and it can also be rented and sold by the court to merchants to set up factories in the new dynasty."  , then is it production material or goods?”

    Song Yingxing said, "When it is used for trading, the land is a commodity, and when it is used for production, the land is a material for production." The two of them sat in the intermediary room of the library, and they stroked each other sentence by sentence.

    Zhu Cihui sat beside him, listening and taking notes.  Although some of them can understand, some can't understand, but he is very interested in it. What's the point of writing novels? Studying economics is interesting.“So,” Wu Ying said with a smile, “producers use production materials and turn them into goods through labor.  Is this land considered a commodity?

 Text 919 [The Nguyen Coup]

    The holidays are over, back to work.

    Zhao Han didn't approve many memorials, so he called Liu Ziren to ask, "What's the situation of this Sichuan tea class? Chen Zilong, the Zuobuzheng of Sichuan, how do you suggest that the imperial court purchase and sell Sichuan tea?"

    Liu Ziren explained: "Your Majesty, since the Song Dynasty, the tea from Sichuan and Shaanxi has been collected in two different ways from tea classes elsewhere.  Sichuan tea is used to trade Tibetan horses, and Shaanxi-Hanzhong) tea is used to trade Qinghai and Mongolian horses.  The same is true in the Ming Dynasty, but due to the corruption of the tea government, the tea farmers were unable to make ends meet, so a large number of them fled and deserted.

    In the Song Dynasty, Sichuan-Shanxi tea was very strong, and the output accounted for half of the country.  In the Ming Dynasty, in order to engage in the mutual market of tea and horses, the imperial court ordered the purchase and sales of Sichuan tea, but there were many twists and turns.

    In order to build the Forbidden City in Beijing, Zhu Di imposed a large number of corvees in Sichuan.  Many tea farmers were conscripted to cut trees in the deep mountains, and no one took care of the tea gardens, and large tracts of tea trees died.

    At the same time, the tea horse department was also corrupt, which made merchants reluctant to buy Sichuan tea.  In the seventh year of Yongle, Sichuan Tea only traded 70 skinny horses.  In the second year after Zhu Di's death, the new emperor checked the Sichuan tea situation and found that the warehouses were full of unsold old tea. The tea warehouse in Chengdu alone burned 210,000 catties of rotten tea.

    The tea class in the Ming Dynasty charged a "tithe tax", but by the end of the Ming Dynasty, most of the tea gardens in Chuanxia were occupied by military officials and tyrants.  Then, citing the regulations of the Hongwu period, the "ownerless" tea gardens were taken care of by military households, and the guards directly took 80% of the tea income.  However, the government is still collecting tea tax, and military households or tenant households have to continue to pay taxes.

    Officials of the Ming Dynasty also tried to reform and taxed many so-called "tea gardens" according to the color of ordinary cultivated land.  Some landlords couldn't make ends meet, so they took the opportunity to cut down tea trees and replant food.  This is also the reason why Zhao Han stopped selling tea after the founding of the country.

    The tea policy in the Ming Dynasty has collapsed since the time of Zhu Di. The bureaucratic monopoly of the market is too unreliable. It is better to issue licenses for merchants to buy and sell.  Now Sichuan officials suddenly went to the public, requesting that Sichuan tea be re-sold officially.

    Liu Ziren continued: "The new dynasty opened up the tea market; Sichuan and Shanxi tea can be bought and sold freely, and there is no need to force the tea-horse trade."  Farmers in central Sichuan were delighted by this, and in the early years of the Republic of China, they replanted tea one after another.  ""There are more tea and less merchants, and someone took the opportunity to monopolize it?" Zhao Han immediately guessed what was going on.{

    Liu Ziren said: "Those businessmen teamed up to monopolize the market, and then lowered prices to tea growers. I heard that tea merchants in central Sichuan are divided into regions. A certain company monopolizes certain counties, and other merchants are not allowed to receive tea even if they have licenses. Last year, Sichuan tea  With a good harvest, merchants once again joined forces to lower prices, and the tax on tea fields was so heavy that many tea farmers could no longer afford to pay the land tax. "m

    Zhao Han was quite angry, and said to his stomach: "This Chen Zilong, why can't he say something? He has to write an obscure secret note, and ask for something to be changed to an official tea monopoly. It's obvious that he won't attract my attention, so he has to be a sensationalist.'

    Among the scholars of the Fushe, Chen Zilong was also considered to have served earlier, and was promoted to Sichuan Zuobu Political Envoy two years ago.  It is estimated that the tea merchants in Sichuan could not be suppressed, so they came to secretly present a secret report to the emperor.  The largest tea merchant in Sichuan is the son of Gan Liangchen.

    And that Gan Liangchen was the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan in the Ming Dynasty.  After being dismissed and returned to his hometown, he became a small warlord in Sichuan. He not only helped the Datong Army fight, participated in sending troops to recover Chengdu, but also donated his troops and territory. Finally, he retired and resigned.  How could Zhao Han not reward such an interesting veteran?

    Today, Gan Liangchen has long since died of illness, and his son has become the largest tea merchant in Sichuan by relying on a franchise license.  While making friends with officials, while connecting with merchants, they have semi-monopolized the tea business in Sichuan.

    Without the emperor speaking, even if there were ten Chen Zilongs, they would not be able to control those tea merchants.

    There is no "Anti-Monopoly Law" at the moment, and all actions of tea merchants are not criminal, at most they do not purchase tea according to the government's guide price.  When encountering ordinary businessmen, Chen Zilong can fine or revoke his license, but he can't help the descendants of meritorious officials.

    Zhao Han immediately ordered to "issue 20 more Sichuan tea licenses, only to non-Sichuan merchants, and let these tea merchants fight their own way. In addition, send out pedestrians to reprimand the Gan family, so that the Gan family will be more honest in the future!"

    "Zunzhi!" Liu Ziren cupped his hands.

    Let Liu Ziren step down, and Zhao Han wrote back to Chen Zilong: If you have something to say, don't ask me to guess riddles again.  Last year's annual income was 53 million taels, and the agricultural tax was 32.86 million taels.

    The reason why the agricultural tax is so high is that the local tax withheld is also included in the calculation.  In addition, for economic crops such as tea and tobacco, the land tax is very high, and it is also included in the agricultural tax.

    Over the past ten years, the planting area of ??tea and tobacco has continued to expand, and the tea production in Sichuan alone has doubled or tripled.

    The paddy fields in the south of the Yangtze River have fully implemented the rotation of cotton and rice, and the land tax has been adjusted accordingly.A pure grain field is higher and lower than a pure cotton field.  In Shandong, cotton and rice are rarely planted in rotation, because most of them are dry fields, and the tax on cotton fields is set relatively high.

    After writing the reply letter to Chen Zilong, Zhao Han thought about it and wrote another letter: order the Inspectorate to take the lead, the Ministry of Finance and Datong Bank to follow up, and immediately thoroughly investigate the national tariffs!

    The increase in agricultural taxes is so rapid that the increase in tariffs is obviously unreasonable.  You know, in the past few years, coastal ports have been continuously opened, and the volume of foreign trade has continued to increase, but the growth rate of tariffs has not met Zhao Han's expectations.

    Last year's national tariff was 9.01 million taels. Zhao Han estimated that after a thorough investigation by the Procuratorate, it may rise to more than 12 million taels.  In the past few years, the sea trade was encouraged, but there has been no action. Now it is time to act.  Tibet and Heilongjiang will usher in another batch of exiles.

    Tariffs will be rectified this year, and industrial and commercial taxes will be rectified next year. Anyway, there will be no shortage of exiles.  They are all high-quality people, throwing them to Tibet and Heilongjiang can quickly improve the local cultural and educational level. After playing the Shangsi Festival for a few days, memorials have piled up like a mountain.

    Zhao Han was paralyzed, so he asked the female officer to sort out the routine documents.  For several hours in a row, he kept signing. This kind of routine official document only needs to be glanced at to know the general content. It only needs the emperor's signature and seal.

    I really don't know where Zhu Yuanzhang got so much energy to take care of everything, big or small.  Zhao Han has tried his best to reduce the burden on himself, and the cabinet can make decisions on many things without sending them to the emperor, even if this is exhausting.

    There is no break at noon, the meal is served in front of me, and I eat while reading the memorial.  Until two o'clock in the afternoon, I finally finished approving the accumulated routine documents.

    Zhao Han closed his eyes and leaned there, asking the female officer to read him a memorial that required brainstorming.  After reading a copy, he thought briefly, then opened his eyes to give a reply, and then continued to close his eyes and listen.

    At about four o'clock, Zhao Han suddenly sat up straight, but heard the female officer read: "Civil and military officials of Guangnan Province, Guangnan Office of the National Security Council, jointly signed a report, Annan Ruan's coup, Ruan Phuc was on the verge of being assassinated!!!!"  show me.  "Zhao Han opened his eyes. This kind of big event is usually an urgent report.

    ?But this is a delayed report, because Vietnam is in the rainy season, no matter how urgent the news is, it is impossible to send troops in the rainy season.  When Zhao Han finished reading Qin Zhang, he almost couldn't laugh out loud.

    Ever since Nguyen's brain had a convulsion, he brazenly attacked Bin Tonglong, and was beaten all over his head by the Datong army, Ruan Fubin deeply felt that his military strength was not enough.

    Therefore, he expanded the standing army to 100,000, which is equivalent to a sudden increase of 40%, and military expenditures rose sharply.  The Ruan family couldn't afford it, so they took advantage of the Han merchants, which not only damaged the interests of the Han merchants, but also made it difficult for the local gentry in Hue to do business.  Ruan Fubin knew that this was drinking poison to quench his thirst, but he provoked China and had to expand the army quickly, otherwise he would not be able to hold it.  As a result, China did not send troops the year before last, and China did not send troops last year.

    ?China does not send troops, but the Ruan family has to keep raising soldiers, and their finances are getting worse day by day.  From gentry to merchants, from officials to common people, there are complaints from the ruling and opposition parties.

    Even the two kings of water and fire in Nanpan Kingdom were forced to show signs of rebellion, because Nanpan Kingdom needed to double the tribute tax directly.  (Nanpan Kingdom has no king, and is jointly ruled by two chiefs, Water King and Fire King)

    The common people, merchants, and vassals were almost squeezed out, and Ruan Fubin focused on those gentry again, and began to investigate the hidden properties of the gentry.  Just at the beginning of this year, Nguyen Phuc was near death in a daze.

    At present, Ruan Fuqin, who is only seven years old, has succeeded the position of Lord Ruan.  The Empress Dowager Song supervised the country behind a curtain, and the Empress Dowager's elder brother Song Fukang presided over the government.  The new army organized by Ruan Phuc was all disbanded

    Those local gentry in Hue didn't care whether the Datong army was killed or not, and they didn't care that their land would be divided up.  Anyway, their idea is very simple, the Ruan regime can't afford to support so many standing troops, and they won't spend half a dime to support them.

    Really, the country is about to be wiped out, and it is still there without any hair, and it doesn't even consider that the Datong Army came to do it yesterday.  The information sent by Guangnan Province also said that the standing army under Wan's rule was eligible to be exempted from corvee.  After Song Fukang became regent, tens of thousands of new troops were dismissed at once, and even the severance pay of sergeants was deducted by 70% to 80%.

    Most of these new troops who were forced to leave the army returned to their hometown obediently, but thousands of people also gathered outside Hue City to fight for pay.  Song Fukang recruited the imperial guards to suppress, captured and killed hundreds of people, and the new army who made a fuss suddenly dispersed. After the rainy season, these new troops are expected to make trouble.

    Zhao Han felt inexplicable, hey, he killed another enemy, although this enemy died unexpectedly.  8 Orphans and widows, foreign relatives are in charge, and the new army is fighting for pay. How can we not take the opportunity to send troops? The next day, Zhao Han called the cabinet, the Ministry of War, the Inspectorate, and the National Security Council to a meeting.

    The secret work of the National Security Council is to contact Nanpan Kingdom immediately, and let the two kings of water and fire of Nanpan Kingdom belong to the Celestial Dynasty.  The king of water and the king of fire can delete the chieftain, and Nanpan Kingdom will be changed to Nanpan Military and Civilian Mansion in the future.  If you don't agree, it's okay to wait until the Ruan family is cleaned up, and then go to conquer Nanpan by force.

    Nanpan Kingdom is the Xiyuan region among the eight major regions of Vietnam. It is currently in the era of tribal alliances, and it is still slash-and-burn and knotting.  Five hundred Datong troops are enough to conquer by force.  Besides Ruan, when the rainy season is over, the Guangnan Datong Army will be dispatched immediately!bsp; Nanpan Kingdom is the Xiyuan region among the eight major regions in Vietnam.

 Text 920 [Another scammer]

    Zhang Pu, who has been in Suoxuegua for more than ten years, finally failed to survive this year.  What's more, he didn't die in the winter when the old disease often relapsed, but died in the early summer when there was always no disease or disaster.  After discussion by the Ministry of Rites, the emperor granted him the posthumous title "Wen Duan".

    Seventy-five-year-old Lou Qianyi returned home after paying tribute to Zhang Bo, feeling rather complicated.  Another old friend is gone, more and more in the past few years, there are friends and enemies, and I don't know how long I can live.

    Qian Qianyi sighed with emotion in Nanjing, but he didn't know that his son was already anxious like an ant in Shanghai.  In Shanghai County, in a mansion in the countryside.

    Xie Sanbin said to the two partners, "The imperial court wants to thoroughly investigate the tariffs, and the imperial envoy is on the way. The first batch of ports to be investigated are Shanghai, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou, and Dengzhou. After the investigation of these six places,  There will be a second batch and a third batch." "Is there any problem with our account?" Xu Fan asked.

    Xu Fan was the second son of Xu Xiake. As for his eldest son Concubine Xu, when the Datong Army recovered Jiangyin, she was killed by Xu's slaves in an uprising.  Qian Qianyi, Xie Sanbin, and Xu Xiake started a company together to do business.  The Qian family and the Xu family are responsible for the supply, while the Xie family is responsible for overseas trade.  With Qian Qianyi going to Nanjing to serve as an official, and Xu Xiake recuperating at home all year round, Xie Sanbin, Guo Ruyi and Xu Fan are now really managing the business.

    Xie Sanbin said, "Our account is definitely fine, but I'm afraidthe official store's account will not match"

    The official store is not a store, but a common name for an institution that collects domestic trade taxes.  Zhengde and Wanli launched Huangzhuang Huangdian, among which the Huangdian is for tax collection, not a royal shop.

    The central official store is called Xuankesi, and the local official store is called Tongkesi.

    ? In order to encourage commercial trade, Zhao Han no longer set up tax cards at various levels, but only collected once at the starting point (in special locations, there are tolls in the middle, which are charged according to the size of the vessel, and land transportation is charged according to vehicles and livestock).

    Take Shu brocade as an example, if it is to be shipped to Shanghai for export.  Then, when leaving Sichuan, the shipping agent must pay half of the tax to obtain a commercial ticket, which states the type, quantity, and location of the goods.  After arriving in Shanghai, these Shu brocades have to be inspected and paid at the Shanghai General Department.  If it is found by the inspection department that there is no commercial ticket, or the commercial ticket does not match the goods, the company license will be canceled immediately and a fine of ten times the smuggled goods will be imposed! Qian's family is in Changshu, Xu's family is in Jiangyin, although they are very close to Shanghai  , but the cotton cloth produced by the two companies needs a commercial ticket to be shipped to Shanghai.  These commercial invoices clearly stated the information of the goods, and they were fully reported to the Shanghai General Department.  Coastal smuggling is easy to operate, but inland smuggling is not easy.

    The General Departments are located in the traffic arteries, and you can go around quietly if you want, but the transportation costs will increase exponentially, and it is very likely that you will be inspected halfway.  And bribing the officials of the general tax department is even more nonsense. The tax is paid in half at the starting point. For the goods shipped from Jiangyin to Shanghai, you have to bribe the officials of Jiangyin and Shanghai at the same time, and let the tax officials of the two counties make false accounts with you.

    The farther the transportation distance, the less likely it is to evade taxes. It is awesome to be able to bribe Sichuan and Shanghai officials at the same time.

    What's more, the goods of these three companies are not only from Jiangyin and Changshu.  The cotton cloth they produce is not enough, and they will buy other products, such as tobacco, porcelain, and tea from Jiangxi.  Jiangxi merchants transport goods to Shanghai, they must report and pay taxes at the general department!

    If the Procuratorate cannot find out the customs and maritime problems, it will investigate the company that has been shipping goods to Shanghai for a long time.  Company A ships goods to Shanghai every year. Who did you sell the goods to? Oh, it turned out to be Company B.  Who did you sell Company B to? Finally, it was found out that Company C, which is engaged in foreign trade, did not match the trade accounts of the three companies, so someone must be evading taxes or smuggling.

    Qian Ruyi inherited his father's fine qualities, and at this moment he was so cowardly, he said anxiously: "Why don't we surrender to the Procuratorate. Our business company has only been evading taxes for four years, and it has not been involved in smuggling.  You can let it go lightly."

    Xu Fan was a little moved, his father Xu Xiake knew the emperor.  Qian Ruyi's biological father, Qian Qianyi, was also a celebrity in front of the emperor.  With the face of the two elders, and the act of turning himself in, most of them are just fines, and the most serious is the revocation of the company license.

    "You can't turn yourself in," Xie Sanbin frowned, "We also bribed the officials of the Maritime Department (Customs), and we will definitely have our maritime trade license revoked. - Zhang Haimao license is a white mountain of silver. We have a criminal record. In the future  Don't even think about getting a license again' After hearing this, Xu Fan hesitated again, he was really reluctant to part with the money.

    However, Qian Ruyi said, "You have forgotten that a few years ago, when the country's land administration was cleaned up, how many powerful officials were beheaded and exiled to the current emperor. They can't rub the sand in their eyes. The Shanghai Shipping Department must be investigated. How can we escape by then?"

    Xie Sanbin still had a fluke mentality, "Which maritime merchant does not evade taxes, which maritime merchant does not bribe officials, if all are investigated and dealt with according to the regulations, and all licenses are revoked, the maritime trade will not be able to do business in the future. Without the maritime trade tax, the court will lose tens of millions of taels of tax every year.  Silver. So, even if the emperor wants to completelyIf we investigate, we will only deal with those officials.  We are maritime merchants, at most we will accept the punishment.  " "Indeed.  "Xu Fan nodded.

    Qian Ruyi said, "Since everyone has to accept the punishment, why not surrender themselves and get a lighter punishment."

    Xie Sanbin shook his head and said, "We are the first to jump out, and we will not be regarded as a typical example. We will be dealt with severely. There are so many sea merchants involved, so we may not be found out. If we are lucky, we will save money if we are not found out."  A lot of fines." "That's justified." Xu Fan was persuaded, and he didn't even want to pay the fine.

    Xie Sanbin is just an old fritter, bold in the face of the government, but timid in the face of the enemy.

    He was originally the Minister of Taipusi of the Ming Dynasty, and was transferred to Shandong as an official during the Chongzhen period.  It coincided with the uprising of the White Lotus Sect, and this guy had been hiding in the city passively avoiding the battle. He waited for the friendly army to win the battle before rushing out to snatch the results of the battle. He made millions of taels of silver by suppressing the White Lotus Sect.

    Historically, the Manchu Qing army went south, and the former minister of the Ming Dynasty, Shang Cheng, formed a rebel army.  Because Xie Sanbin had wiped out the White Lotus Sect in Shandong, he must know how to fight better than ordinary scholars, so Xie Sanbin was publicly elected as the commander of the rebel army.  Xie Sanbin directly rebuffed, "The power is like pressing on an egg, if you are not afraid of death" (the Qing army fighting the rebels is like stepping on an egg, are you not afraid of death)

    This kind of person, only with a knife on his neck, will he truly plead guilty and submit to the law.

    Xie Sanbin and Xu Fan quickly reached a consensus. During the investigation of the customs by the imperial court, they paid taxes according to the regulations and did business obediently.  If you are found out, you will accept the punishment, if you are not found out, you will escape disaster.  As for the future situation, see step by step, if the investigation is strict, it will operate legally, and if the investigation is not strict, it will continue to evade taxes.  When Qian Ruyi returned to his hometown in Changshu, the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

    This guy got up the next day and called his son to say, "Prepare the boat quietly, and go to Nanjing for my father. If relatives and friends visit, I will say that I have a serious illness and it is inconvenient to see guests." Qian Ruyi took a boat all the way to Nanjing, and met Qian Qianyi  Explain the situation.

    Qian Qianyi was horrified, "I didn't hear any news in Nanjing. How did Xie Sanbin know that the Procuratorate was going to investigate the case?"

    "He has a fart in the court," Qian Qianyi trembled with fright, "Xie Sanbin can get the news in advance, I am afraid that many officials and businessmen in Shanghai will know about it, and the emperor will be furious about it. This is worse than maritime merchants evading taxes.  Seriously!' Qian Ruyi was even more frightened, "Thenthen what should I do?"

    "I have already said who the current emperor is, and told you to operate legally. Why are you coveting those tariffs?" Qian Qianyi asked.  Qian Ruyi said, "Father, there is more than just a little tariff. Our business is getting bigger and bigger, and we can save four to five thousand taels of silver every year."

    "Four or five thousand taels" Qian Qianyi was about to go mad, picked up his crutches and beat, "Just for four or five thousand taels, or three families to share, one family can only get less than two thousand taels. For two thousand taels of silver every year  , you don't even care about your own father's official position?  !

    Qian Qianyi didn't hurt his son, and he was dizzy from exhaustion. He supported the table and slowed down for a while, "Go, follow me into the palace immediately, surrender yourself to the emperor, and tell everything you know."

    Qian Ruyi asked, "Xie Sanbin and Xu Fan, do you want to send someone to inform?" Qian Qianyi was furious, "I will inform his ancestors, let them die" Forbidden City.

    "Qian Qianyi brought his son to see him"

    Zhao Han didn't understand for a while, and thought that Qian Qianyi was old and wanted to find an official for his son in the Imperial Academy.  After leaving the Qian family and his son out for a while, Zhao Han settled down with the affairs at hand before ordering them to be interviewed.

    The moment Qian Qianyi entered the palace, he knelt down and kowtowed. While kowtowing, he crawled in and cried, "Your Majesty forgive me, I have no way to teach my son'

    Zhao Han didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Get up, and talk if you have something to say."

    Qian Ruyi also knelt down, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I have only evaded taxes for four years. According to the company's shares, I only evaded taxes of more than a thousand taels a year. It's all It's all Xie Sanbin's idea, he said no  "Tax evasion" Zhao Han's smile disappeared, "Shanghai Shipbuilding Division's tariff" Qian Ruyi said, "Exactly, Your Majesty, please forgive me."

    Zhao Han said with a gloomy expression: "Calculate the time, people from the Procuratorate, the Ministry of Finance and the bank, I'm afraid they have just arrived in Shanghai right now, how did you know the news?"

    Qian Ruyi said, "Xie Sanbin told you." "Very good, very good." Zhao Han gritted his teeth.

    Just as Qian Qianyi guessed, compared to customs corruption, the emperor was more angry about leaking the news. This is because there are ghosts among the court's investigators! Zhao Han suppressed his anger, "Tell me everything you know."

    Qian Ruyi hurriedly poured beans out of the bamboo tube, and vomited out all the beans that were missing.  Not much is known about this guy. He is mainly responsible for the supply in the company, and Xie Sanbin is responsible for evading customs duties.

    However, he reported the second in command of the Shanghai Platinum Division.  It is said that this man's son is very ostentatious in Shanghai, and travels in extremely luxurious carriages. It is rumored that there is an orchid in his family worth five thousand taels of silver.

    Zhao Han found that he could not get the important inside story, so he said, "You go to the National Security Institute and explain the case." Qian Ruyi opened his mouth wide, "National National Security Institute." Who the hell doesn't know, the National Security Institute is Jinyiwei.?Operation.

    "Papa papa"

    In the warehouse of the Shanghai Shipping Department, a special area was opened up for the office of imperial inspectors.  The abacus was crackling, and people kept walking around with ledgers.

    In an office next door, the first and second leaders of the Shibo Department are all there.  Compared with Cong Wupin and Cong Liupin in the Ming Dynasty, the official ranks of the Datong New Dynasty's Shibo Secretary and Deputy Promoter were Zheng Wupin and Zheng Liupin respectively, while the supervisors of provincial customs units were Cong Sipin.  Taste.

    Cao Benshu from the Procuratorate smiled and said to the officials of the Shibo Department, "Don't be nervous, we won't arrest people randomly. If the Shibo Department has business to do, you can go to work first, there is no need to stay here  Come with us."

    The Shibo Secretary promoted Wang Cai and said with a smile: "Although I am busy with official duties, I can still squeeze out time. You have come from afar, and the Shibo Secretary must do his best to be a landlord. Tonight, I will prepare a banquet at Wanghai Tower  .Shanghai is a small place, so it’s definitely not as good as Nanjing. Please make it easy, all censors.  Zhou Shouyu from the Ministry of Finance said with a smile, "Cao Yushi has the final say."

    Wang Cai saw that these people were unwilling to show respect, so he made a close relationship, "Cao Yushi used to be a member of the Datong Club, but he was not an official, and he was also a swordsman under Mr. Xu (Xu Ying).

    "Then we were colleagues before," Cao Benshu asked, "why do you come to the Shibo Department again?"

    Wang Cai said: "After the imperial court regained Jiangsu, many brothers changed their careers. They were scholars before, and they were good at accounting. They first transferred to the bank to work. Not long after that, they were transferred to Shanghai Jiangang Kaifu.  The Shanghai Shipping Department is a low-level official.'

    Cao Benshu smiled and said, "That's right, this low-level official has already achieved the fifth grade. I have been working in Shanghai and have not been transferred to other places." "I was transferred to Ningbo for three years, and I am transferred back again." Wang Cai  said laughingly.

    Of course Cao Benshu knew the details of Wang Cai. This guy was originally from Shandong, and his family fled to Xuzhou to avoid the war. Now the whole family has moved back to their original place.  Wang Cai continued to make friends there, and Cao Benshu chatted without saying a word.

    Until the evening, accountants from the Ministry of Finance and the bank came in, "There is no problem with the accounts checked today, and it is estimated that there is no problem after all the checks. After all, they have to be checked every year, and any problems have been discovered long ago.

    Cao Benshu got up immediately, "There is no need to check the Shibo Department, and I will go to the Shanghai General Department tomorrow. I have informed the Shanghai County Commercial Department and the Finance Department to cooperate and let them seal up the accounts of Shanghai's commercial companies.  Transaction records. Also, the account books of the Shibo Division are also sealed, so don’t accidentally catch fire again.”

    From the Song Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, China adopted the single-entry bookkeeping method.

    With the prosperity of business, "three-legged account" appeared in the middle of Ming Dynasty, which is a transitional accounting method from single entry to double entry.  At the end of Ming Dynasty, "three-legged account" developed into "longmen account", which belongs to a relatively rough double-entry bookkeeping method.

    Following Zhao Han's promotion of Arabic numerals and new mathematical methods, coupled with the prosperity of commerce and trade, the "four-legged account" has finally appeared in recent years.  It is a relatively mature double-entry bookkeeping method. Compared with the bookkeeping method hundreds of years later, it must still have many flaws, but the basic principles are exactly the same.

    Two years ago, the imperial court issued a decree that all government agencies and private commercial companies must adopt the "four-legged account" as soon as possible.  There is only one year of study time. If you can't learn accounting in private companies within a year, you can wait until you learn it before opening the door to do business.

    Anyway, the requirements for accounting are getting higher and higher. Many middle school graduates are not sure about being admitted as officials, so they simply go to various companies to work as accountants.  Of course, there are also many lawyers, commonly known as litigators.  In the entire southern region, lawsuits are becoming more and more popular, and lawsuits are frequent, which is in line with the Ming Dynasty.

    Longmen account and four-foot account, these two double-entry bookkeeping methods, are very beneficial to commercial lawsuits. Every account book is evidence for a lawsuit.  Compared with the three-legged account and the traditional single-entry bookkeeping method, it is impossible to explain clearly in a lawsuit, and many contents that can be used as evidence have not been recorded.  It is convenient to file a lawsuit, and of course it is also convenient to investigate the case

    Seven or eight days later, the chief judge and probation officer of Shanghai County were also called to start the trial of the first case.

    Cao Benshu took the survey results and asked, "Where is Wang Fang?" "Caomin is here." A man who was almost fifty years old replied.  Cao Benshu asked, "What position do you hold on the Changyuan?"

    Wang Fang replied, "Caomin is the big shopkeeper of Changyuan's Shanghai branch. The head office transports goods from Sichuan to Shanghai, and Caomin is responsible for selling these things."

    Cao Benshu nodded approvingly: "The accounts of your firm match the records of the Shanghai Department of General Education. This is very good. Your firm operates legally and pays taxes according to the regulations. On behalf of the imperial court, I commend you."

    Wang Fang said happily, "Master Yushi praised it as it should be, the smile on Cao Benshu's face"Where is Lu Guang?" "Caomin is here." A man in his fifties was so frightened that he almost knelt down.

    Cao Benshu sighed and said, "Your Excellency's ancestor, Lu Shen, is admired by many scholars. Anyone who compiles history in the Imperial Academy does not know Lu Ziyuan's name. It can even be said that from the Jiajing period to the Datong New Dynasty, all scholars who study history  They are all Lu Ziyuan's apprentices and grandchildren!" Lu Guang buried his head and bowed, "The ancestors have a poor name, and the descendants dare not rely on it."

    "Don't dare to rely on it." Cao Benshu was also a scholar. He was so angry that he yelled directly, "If Lu Ziyuan is still alive, you must be beaten to death, you unworthy descendants." Lu Guang was so frightened that he fell to his knees.

    "Stand up, you don't have to kneel down in court!" Cao Benshu roared. Lu Guang stood up tremblingly, but he always felt his knees were weak, and he planned to kneel down again at any time.

    Cao Benshu said: "Your Lu family's Fulong account is the biggest business customer of Changyuan account. The account books of Changyuan account can be matched with the Shanghai General Department, but why can't they be matched with Lu family's Fulong account?"  Lu Guang was terrified and didn't know how to answer.

    Cao Benshu looked at the case file in his hand and asked, "Last year, Changyuan sold you a total of 3,000 catties of Sichuan tea. In your account book, why did you only buy 1,800 catties of Sichuan tea and the remaining 1,200 catties were all taken away by your Lu family children?"  Can't drink it up?" Lu Guang couldn't answer.

    "And this raw silk, last year I sold you 600 dan of raw silk, why is there only 400 dan in the account?" Cao Benshu patted the table and asked.  hey pass!

    Lu Guang knelt down again, and cried, "My lord, please forgive me. For the sake ofyou can bypass the Lu family this time." "Oh," Cao Benshu laughed suddenly, "For the sake of  For whose sake, you should make it clear." Lu Guang dared not speak.  "Say" Cao Benshu roared angrily.

    Lu Guang's voice was as thin as a mosquito, "For the sake ofthe Eldest Princess.

    Cao Benshu was finally completely angry, "You are talking nonsense, how can the Lu family get involved with the eldest princess?"

    Lu Guang actually explained in detail: "The son-in-law is the great-nephew of Mr. Shaohu (Xu Jie), and Caomin's uncle is the grandson-in-law of Mr. Shaohu. Caomin and the son-in-law are of the same generation"

    Cao Benshu was speechless immediately, what kind of crooked relatives?

    After holding back for a long time, Cao Benshu asked back, "Why don't you say that Lu Xun of Eastern Wu is your ancestor, let me take it easy for Sun Quan's face." Lu Guang muttered, "Zhaohou (Lu Xun) is indeed my ancestor."

    Cao Benshu was too lazy to talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Tell me, are these goods that are not tired and fly in the account, have they been sold overseas? If they are sold overseas, how can they be released by the Shibo Department?"

    Lu Guang is still stubborn, "It's all bulk goods in Shanghai."

    "Local cargo in Shanghai has to go somewhere," Cao Mushu said, "whether it is sold to a store or sold to the common people in your own store, just tell me, and I will check the accounts slowly." Lu Guang said, "sold to the common people."  .  "m

    Cao Benshu laughed angrily, "I bought raw silk from Sichuan all the way, and sold it to ordinary people in Shanghai, do you think I am a fool?" Lu Guang was stunned, speechless.

    Jiangnan is rich in silk production, and shipping goods from Sichuan to sell is roughly equivalent to transporting coal from the northeast to Shanxi.  Cao Benshu said: "Since you can't tell where the goods are, then you can only be sentenced to smuggling by your Lu family" "My lord, spare me!"

    Lu Guang hurriedly shouted, "It's not smuggling, the Lu family did not smuggle. These goods were released by the Shibo Department." The only crimes for shipping through the Shibo Department are tax evasion and bribery of officials.  As for smuggling, small amount of exile, large amount of decapitation Cao Benshu asked, "Which city ship official let you go?"

    Lu Guang gritted his teeth and replied, "Caomin has no contact with the officials of the Shibo Department, butthe second son of Mr. Chen Futi's family has some contacts with Caomin. The tax evaded every year will give 10% of the benefits to Chen's second son.  As for the officials of the Shibo Department, Second Master Chen will take care of them himself. "Go to Chen's house and arrest people," Cao Benshu ordered immediately.

    The inspectors and policemen of Shanghai County were seconded, and under the leadership of the inspectorate officials, they immediately went to arrest people in a carriage.

    About an hour later, the anti-corruption officer came back and said in a low voice: "Father and son of the Chen family committed suicide in fear of crime. There is a lot of ashes in the study. It may be that some criminal evidence was burned. The ashes from the fire are already cold, and they may have been burned in the middle of the night or in the morning.'

    Cao Benshu sneered, "Okay, committing suicide in fear of crime, I really think I can't go on with the investigation and arrested Wang Cai, the secretary of Shibo, and let people watch day and night, don't let this guy die too!"

    The Datong court had special measures to prevent officials from committing suicide in fear of crime.

    As long as the evidence is solid, officials who dare to commit suicide in fear of crime will have their household registration books confiscated and exiled.  Moreover, in order to prevent the separation of families from crimes, those who are separated within ten years will also be exiled.

    After the promulgation of this policy, the number of criminals who committed suicide decreased rapidly.

    After all, even if it is a case of criticizing Tian Zheng, if so many people are arrested and sent to exile, it will only harm their wives and children, and their parents and brothers will not sit together.  Once you commit suicide in fear of crime, you will have to bear all the crimes in your household registration book!

    Cao Benshu feels that this case is a bit big, and would rather commit suicide than exile the whole family. Some central officials may be involved behind this.?? Already, parents and brothers will not even sit.  Once you commit suicide in fear of crime, you will have to bear all the crimes in your household registration book!

    Cao Benshu feels that this case is a bit big, and would rather commit suicide than exile the whole family. Some central officials may be involved behind this.

    Department of Shipbuilding.

    Wang Cai was forbidden to leave the office, and even his family members were not allowed to have any contact with him.

    The investigation is still going on, Cao Benshu no longer intervenes in person, but came to chat with Wang Cai: "Wang Tiju, your deputy committed suicide in fear of crime, do you know the news?"

    "Chen Xianchun committed suicide." Wang Cai looked surprised, and he didn't know whether it was from the heart or an expression.

    Cao Benshu sighed and said, "Chen Xianchun's problem is very serious. I investigated several trading companies engaged in maritime trade, and all of them evaded customs duties through his son. Such a large-scale tax evasion, as the chief officer of the Shipping Department, you will not always  don't know

    Wang Cai said sadly: "This old Chen is really confused. He was originally just a poor scholar in Hubei, but thanks to His Majesty and the court's kindness, he has achieved his present glory. He should serve the country well, how can he be corrupt?  What about colluding with merchants? As the chief officer of the Shibo Department, as Chen Xianchun's superior, I have the responsibility of being ignorant and ineffective in supervision. How can I have the face to continue to be an official? Cao Yushi, I will take the blame and resign myself."  I don't know," Cao Benshu asked.

    Wang Cai said: "I really don't know anything. It's true that I'm the head of the Shipping Department, but Chen Xianchun is solely responsible for the management of goods and merchants."

    This set of rhetoric is in line with common sense. Whether it is an imperial government office or a private company, it is really the deputies who actually do things.

    Cao Benshu said, "It seems that I misunderstood you, but for your safety, you should stay here for the time being. When the truth comes to light, it will not be too late to leave this room."

    Cao Benshu left after speaking, the door was locked, and Wang Cai was placed under house arrest.

    Wang Cai was left alone in the room. He was quite energetic just now, but he slumped on his seat in an instant.

    He didn't know that Zhao Han's impromptu investigation of the Shibo Department was actually initiated by the imperial court.  He thought that Chen Xianchun's son was too ostentatious, which attracted the attention of the anti-corruption officials, and cursed the Chen father and son who had committed suicide countless times in his heart.

    Although the phenomenon of the navy going out to do business is still going on, the imperial court has imposed layers of constraints.

    The Ministry of Commerce and the Naval Governor's Mansion directly send officials to be responsible for naval trade, which is equivalent to a state-owned shipping company established by the Ministry of Commerce and the Naval Governor's Mansion.  The Ministry of Commerce and the Naval Governor's Office can retain part of the profits, and the rest needs to be paid to the Ministry of Finance as a bonus.  Moreover, the navy's trade is subject to an annual quota to prevent disrupting the market and competing for profits with the people.

    There must be loopholes in this approach. For example, smuggling by the Navy quietly cannot be completely eliminated.  It is true that the military expenditure of the navy has been increasing year by year, and it cannot be fully supported by finances. It is only a temporary concession policy.

    But there are also advantages. The navy trades off, and the navy smuggles quietly. They are very active in combating private smuggling.  In the waters of Shanghai, businessmen who dare to smuggle can do small things, but once they become big, they will definitely be targeted by the navy.

    Since smuggling cannot be carried out at sea, and the inland trade is blocked by the General Department, businessmen can only collaborate with officials and merchants in the Municipal Department.  This form of tax evasion is very "safe", and it must be checked in detail with the tripartite account books of the supply company, export company, and general tax department, and can only be found out by comparing each transaction slowly.  The imperial court will not check accounts like this!

    Wang Cai felt that he was wronged, because Shanghai has been playing this trick since the day the port was opened.

    It's just that, at the beginning, I was cautious, and there were not many tax evasions.  After the unspoken rules gradually formed, officials, officials, and businessmen became accustomed to it, so they became more and more unscrupulous.

    So much so that Chen Xianchun became the second-in-command, letting his son take the initiative to reach out to merchants.  Those trading companies that do not evade taxes will be encouraged by officials to evade taxes as long as they go to sea for two or three consecutive years, and legal operators will become outliers instead.  what else to check

    From the top to the bottom of the Shibo Department, from officials to officials, at least half of them are involved.  Small officials earn dozens of taels a year, small officials earn hundreds of taels a year, and middle and senior officials earn thousands or tens of thousands of taels a year.

    This is already the norm, and it is already the unspoken rule of Shibo Division!

    Wang Cai felt that he was very clean and honest. He had been in the customs system for more than ten years, and he only made a total of more than a hundred thousand taels of silver.  Chen Xianchun, who committed suicide in fear of crime, was ruthless. It is estimated that the embezzled money was more than 300,000 taels.

    Cao Benshu came to another interrogation room.

    At this moment, more than a dozen petty officials of the Municipal Bureau of Shipping were already trembling with fear.

    Cao Benshu sat down slowly, "Inspecting goods, declaring taxes, and keeping accounts, are you guys doing it? Chen Xianchun has already committed suicide, don't you want to commit suicide? As far as your grade is concerned, I'm afraid you can't be greedy. If you confess honestly, maybe you can do it."  Take the crime and make meritorious deeds.

    Just like making dumplings, all the petty officials knelt down and said, "My lord, spare your life. If Hu Lushi tells you to do it, the little ones will do it. Every quarter, the oil and water will be divided. It won't be much, and it will only be shared for a month."  How many taels of oil and watermoney.  "Hu Huiqing, you are so courageous!" Cao Benshu slapped the gavel.

    The recorder named Hu Huiqing knelt down with weak knees, and said in a crying voice, "Master Yushi, the little one is just following the trend. Before the villain became the recorder, the Shibosi had already done this. If the villain  If you are disobedient, how can this recorder be worthy of it?" Cao Benshu asked, "How long has this kind of thing existed?"

    Hu Huiqing replied, "The villain was already like this at the time when he was advancing in the Shibo Division eight years ago. But in the early days, he had to restrain himself a lot, and everyone was very scared. Gradually, he became less afraid. He felt that the imperial court would not come to investigate, and he became more and more courageous.  The bigger it is. Especially that Chen Xianchun, after being a vice-president, even took the initiative to let businessmen evade taxes."

    "Eight years, I'm afraid it will be longer." Cao Benshu knew that this time he was playing Dafa.

    Eight years ago, some of the chief officials of the Municipal Shipping Department had been promoted to the central government, and some held important positions in the localities.  How many people are involved? Cao Benshu asked, "Is Wang Cai corrupt?"

    Hu Huiqing said, "Wang Tiju also became a junior official in the Municipal Shipbuilding Department"

    Cao Benshu asked again, "Do you have relevant account books that are real accounts, not fake accounts for the court to see."

    "I dare not stay." Hu Huiqing bowed her head and said.  A small official suddenly said, "There is an account." Cao Benshu sat upright immediately, "You have saved the account." The official replied, "The villain does not have an account, but Fan Experience may have it." Cao Benshu asked, "Who is Fan Experience?"

    The little official replied, "Fan Ching was transferred from Suzhou Datong Bank two years ago, and he was in charge of the cashier of the Shibo Department. Fan Ching had been in office for two months. It was not his business, and he also quietly inquired about it. Last year  In spring, Fan Jingli died suddenly. It was rumored that someone had killed him. After Fan Jingli died, Wang Tiju personally attended to his funeral and brought people to Fan Jingli's home to sort out his belongings. I'm afraid  He was looking for the account book.' Cao Benshu was furious when he heard this, not only was he corrupt, but also dared to murder his colleagues. "Where is Fan Ching from? Has the body been transported back to his hometown for burial?" Cao Benshu asked.

    Hu Huiqing said, "Fan Jijin is from Guizhou, and the journey is far away, so it is impossible to transport it back to his hometown. For such things, they must either be buried in Shanghai, or cremated and taken away by their family members. Fan Jijinwas cremated." That means there is no way to do an autopsy.  .

    Cremation is very popular in the south, and it was recorded in Dacheng in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.  Not only those who die in other places choose to be cremated, but many local people also choose to be cremated when they die. There are even professions that specialize in burning corpses.

    Cao Benshu continued to ask, "Fan Ching went to Shanghai as an official, but did he bring his family or relatives with him?"  maid'

    Hu Huiqing said, "I hired a maid, and I don't know the details of this maid."

    Suddenly, another small official wanted to make meritorious service, "Master Yushi, that maid lives in Fahua Town, and she is still a neighbor to the villain, but she got married last winter. As for where she will marry, the villain is not too clear. Fahua Town  , is Xujiahui, named after Fahua Temple.

    The temple fell into disrepair for a long time and was demolished directly, and the monks also returned to the common people and became common people.

    The place name of Lujiazui already exists, and it was named after Lu Shen, the ancestor of Lu Guang who was investigated a few days ago.  It took Cao Benshu five days to invite the maid named Wu Lian.  At first, Wu Lian didn't say anything, just kept crying and shaking her head.

    Cao Benshu was even more certain that the maid must know something, so she comforted her with kind words for two days.

    Guo Lian finally said, "My lord, Mr. Fan is a good man. Hehe stored a small box in the bank, saying that he would not live for a few days, and asked the girl to bring it to the Inspector of Integrity. He also said that there was something in the box.  Ten taels of silver, take it out and give it to a girl as a dowry." "Why don't you go get it?" Cao Benshu asked.

    "Minnv dare not," Guo Lian said, "on the second day of Fan Xianggong's cremation, Minnv's house came at night. Minnv's father and elder brother were beaten and forced to hand over things. Minnv was so frightened.  He couldn't speak, but he didn't hand over Fan Xianggong's box. Later, he was really scared, so he hurriedly married and went to the neighboring county."

    Cao Benshu asked, "Where is the access certificate?"

    Wu Lian said, "When those villains came to the door, the women swallowed them up." "Do you know those villains?" Cao Benshu asked again.

    "There are more than ten people in total, and Minnv knows two of them," Guo Lian said, "One is Liu Er, the other is Zhu Huhu, both nicknames. Cao Benshu immediately ordered the arrest and sent people to Datong Bank to pick up things.

    Unfortunately, both Liu Er and Zhu Huhu have left Shanghai.  The hooligans who hung out with them also all ran away, and went directly to the sea by boat. Some said they went to Luzon, and some said they went to Japan.  silver.

    Cao Benshu opened and read the posthumous letter first, "My name is Fan Hongjing, my style name is Ding'an, and I am from Kaili, Guizhou. My father passed away early, and my uncle oppressed me. Fortunately, I was raised by a loving mother. Thanks to Your Majesty, I took back three shops of my late father, and I have the financial resources to support them."  My old mother Now I am an experience of the Shanghai Shipbuilding Department. There is a lot of filth here, and I must thoroughly investigate and rectify it Wang Cai and Chen Xianchun, who were promoted and vice-promoted, knew that I was secretly investigating, and invited me to join in the dirty work many times. I pretended to agree  , I got more than 800 taels of dirty silver one after another

    "I drank with Wu Wengang, a sea merchant, and slandered him about the amount of tax evasion.

    ?This man is vigilant, fearing that he will tell the truth, I will deposit the account books I have created in Datong Bank, Shanghai Countypeople.  Thanks to His Majesty's kindness, I took back the three shops of my deceased father, so I have the financial resources to support my mother Now I have experienced the experience of the Shanghai Shipping Department. There are filth here, and it must be thoroughly investigated and rectified Wang Cai was promoted and Chen Xianchun was promoted as deputy.  He knew that I was investigating secretly, and invited me to join forces with him many times.  So I pretended to agree, and got more than 800 taels of dirty silver one after another

    "I drank with Wu Wengang, a sea merchant, and slandered him about the amount of tax evasion.

    I am alert and alert, and I am afraid that he will tell the truth, so I will deposit the account books I have created in Datong Bank, Shanghai County.

 Text 923 [I have stabbed the sky]

    Cao Benshu admired Fan Hongjing very much.

    However, Fan Hongjing's account books disappointed Cao Benshu.  Most of the contents in the account book can be found out by comparing the transactions of the companies, but it is more troublesome and time-consuming.

    Which officials took the dirty money and how to distribute it is the key to the investigation, but Fan Hongjing never got it.  All clues to the case were cut off because of Chen Xianchun's suicide.

    Wang Cai was promoted, but he pleaded not guilty, and there was no evidence that he made money.  As for the officials at the top, there is no way to investigate, unless everyone is arrested and tortured-this will lead to indiscriminate hunting, resulting in unjust, false and wrongly decided cases, and even the expansion of cases.  "Still no money was found," Cao Benshu asked.

    The anti-corruption officer in charge of the search said, "I dug Wang's house three feet into the ground and only found a few hundred silver dollars. I am afraid that the dirty silver is stored in private banks, and it does not use formal accounts, and there is no access certificate. It is impossible to find out."  .'

    Cao Benshu frowned, no dirty money was found, no evidence of corruption was found, and even the gangster suspected of murder disappeared without a trace.  Such a big case can only be investigated to Chen Xianchun who committed suicide in fear of crime.

    In his last letter, Fan Hongjing said that Wang Cai wanted to drag him into the water.  But the person is dead, and there is no basis for his words, so Wang Cai can completely dismiss it.  "Just check the account ten years ago!" Cao Benshu said.

    Ten years ago, Wang Cai was still a petty official. He personally handled the customs duties, and if there were any problems, he could be convicted.

    However, everyone was embarrassed. The old account ten years ago had to be compared with the account books of the general department, suppliers, foreign traders, and shipping department, transaction by transaction.  Some firms closed down, some changed their careers, and some went to other provinces to do business. The workload was simply killing people.  Moreover, those officials of the Municipal Bureau of Shipping who were investigated all said that corruption was relatively restrained at the beginning.  Ten years ago, the old account, even if the problem is found, is a small amount, and the officials at that time were not so rampant.  "Cao Jin, the case has progressed"

    Just when Cao Benshu was frowning, the interrogation of Chen Xianchun's family members suddenly had a new breakthrough.

    Chen Xianchun was an official in Shanghai, so he did not bring his wife, but only his second son, who had committed suicide, and a few relatives of the same clan who worked in the old house.  Most of those close friends didn't know what to ask, and the only valid information they provided was that Chen Xianchun liked to associate with certain people.  Officials and businessmen who often interacted with Chen Xianchun had been brought under control at this time, but it was still difficult to find out what the case was.

    The two confidantes of Chen Xianchun's father and son are currently missing. It is not known whether they ran away or were killed and hid their bodies.  There is an orchid standing under the hall, whose name is Haitang.

    Cao Benshu asked, "You said that the day before Chen Xianchun and his son committed suicide, a stranger came to visit unexpectedly."

    "It was around four o'clock in the afternoon," Haitang recalled. "My son (the second son of Chen Xianchun) was going home in a carriage. When he turned the corner, someone got into the carriage suddenly, which surprised me." Cao Benshu asked "  Why didn't the coachman say he saw someone?"

    Haitang explained, "The man avoided the driver, climbed directly to the rear of the car, and said in a low voice, 'It's me'. After hearing this, the young master opened the small door at the back of the car, put the man into the carriage, and asked the driver to drive the carriage away.  Backyard. When we got to the backyard, the young master dismissed the entourage and the coachman, and asked the entourage to invite the master as well." "You were there at the time," Cao Benshu asked.

    Haitang said, "No, the young master asked me to go back to my room to rest. After more than half an hour, the young master came back to my courtyard, sighed and asked my concubine to get the wine, and then drank in the courtyard by myself." "After drinking the wine, do it again."  What?" Cao Benshu asked.

    Haitang said: "After drinking, the young master went to the master's side. When I woke up the next day, I found out that both the master and the young master had committed suicide. Cao Benshu asked again, "Your young master, do you usually say any nonsense or strange things?"

    Haitang said: "One month ago, the young master was suddenly depressed, so he asked his concubine to dance for him. That night, the young master had a nightmare, and some of the words in his sleep were inaudible, but one sentence was 'Don't kill me'."

    A month ago, when Cao Benshu was about to arrive in Shanghai, "Did anyone call out his name?" Cao Benshu asked.  "No," Haitang shook her head, and added, "Maybe she shouted, but I didn't hear clearly." Cao Benshu asked, "Do you remember what the stranger who got into the carriage that day looked like?"

    Haitang said, "Wearing Taoist robes and a big hat. The brim of the hat covers the nose, and only the mouth and chin can be seen. By the way, he has a big beard, and he also has whiskers on his cheeks."

    Cao Benshu fell silent for a moment, feeling that the clue was about to be cut off again.

    This person can cover his face with the brim of his hat, which shows that he is deliberately hiding his appearance.  Then his beard may have been glued on on purpose.  Cao Benshu asked again, "How tall is it?"

    Haitang said, "He stooped into the car, and even bent his head down after sitting down. It's not easy to see how tall he is."It existed in Datong Bank, and it didn't take long for it to die suddenly.  After reading Fan Hongjing's last letter, Cao Benshu took control of Wu Wengang's family to investigate and interrogated all relevant personnel.  The make-up teacher of the Wu family was also questioned due to frequent visits, but no one suspected that there was something wrong with the teacher.

    Cao Benshu personally led people to kill Du Xingxue. Du Xingxue was drinking alone.  Cao Benshu sneered, "Isn't Mr. Du seriously ill in bed?" "I have a slight illness, but I have recovered." Du Xingxue said.  Cao Benshu said, "Take two steps to see."

    Du Xingxue didn't have a weak foot, but broke a bone in a fall.  He suddenly sighed with emotion, "As expected of the Inspectorate, the Inspectorate of the new dynasty is more powerful than the former Inspectorate. The accounts of the Shibai Division for the past ten years, as well as the profit-sharing accounts of many officials, are all in the big box in my study."  I have only one request, I am willing to obey the law, but when my wife and children are exiled, it is best to be exiled to Maerza (Markang). I have inquired about it, and there is not too much suffering.” That’s it.

    Cao Benshu couldn't believe it, "What are you doing in Chen's house?"

    Du Xingxue said, "Father and son of the Chen family have been refusing to commit suicide for a long time, so I can only persuade them in person. These two wretches are greedy for money more than anyone else. They don't know how to pretend to be poor, but they are afraid of death when things happen."  Are you from Wang Cai?" Cao Benshu asked.

    "He's not worthy yet," Du Xingxue pointed at the roof, "My master has already been transferred to Nanjing, you guys are so proud of yourself this time." Cao Benshu said, "Who is it?"

    Du Xingxue said with a smile: "Your Excellency, why bother to ask again, I'm afraid you have already guessed it in your heart. Ten years ago, he worked as a shipping secretary in Shanghai, and now he is working in the central government. There is only one person.

    "Just him," Cao Benshu confirmed.  Duchenne's "Who else"

    Cao Benshu breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time said disdainfully, "A Zuo Shilang, you can only talk about the sky, you are a little sitting and watching the sky." Du Xingxue laughed and said: "In Cao Yushi's eyes, the Zuo Shilang is not high enough.  .But the adoptive parents of the Zuo Shilang are the parents of Mr. Fei Ge (Fei Chun). Do you still dare to find out?".

    Cao Benshu gritted his teeth and said, "Let's not talk about old Fei Ge, it's the emperor's relatives. I'll check to the bottom! Arrest people. Find the account books!?

 Text 924【Middleman】

    There are quite a few officials who have gone out from the Shanghai Shipbuilding Department, one is the third-rank left servant, and the other is the fifth-rank doctor.  These are still only central officials, and there are still five local officials from the third rank, the fourth rank, and the fifth rank.

    ? The Shanghai Shipbuilding Department was established late, and the Guangzhou Shipbuilding Department was established first. How many officials should go out to other city shipping departments?

    In the interrogation room, Cao Benshu knocked on the table twice, "Please explain everything."

    Du Xing said, "At the beginning of the opening of Shanghai Port, Mr. Wu Ge (Wu Yingji) was in charge. At that time, the investigation was relatively strict. Mr. Wu Ge was just reused by the emperor, and he only wanted to make meritorious service. He didn't rub the sand in his eyes. Later,  Mr. Wu Ge was promoted, and the head of the Shipbuilding Department was replaced by Xiao Zhifeng." Xiao Shufeng was a scholar of Yongyang Town, Zhao Han raised troops in Wuxing Town, and the second expansion site was Yongyang Town.

    The tablets of the first batch of sacrificed martyrs of the Datong Army are placed in the Xiao Family Ancestral Hall in Yongyang Town.  This Xiao Qifeng can definitely be called a Conglong hero, a proper official of the court and middle school.

    Du Xingxue continued: "When Xiao Jifeng took office, he was relatively honest as an official. But his son Xiao Jingzhang was dragged into the water by Wu Wengang, a sea merchant. Xiao Jingzhang is just a playboy. He doesn't like reading or being an official. He is sixteen or seventeen years old.  Just hang out in Shanghai, love to compare with the young master of the wealthy businessman's family. This guy got Wu Wengang's money, and evaded taxes with a few officials. After the matter was revealed, Xiao Qifeng was worried about his official title, so he helped his son bring the case to the police.  Press down."

    "The case will be suppressed as he says," Cao Benshu asked.

    Du Xingxue said with a smile: "The amount at that time was not large, and Xiao Qifeng knew many nobles, so the officials in charge of investigating the case turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, ordering Wu Wengang to pay back the tax and then quietly uncovered it. For a small matter  Case, why offend Conglong Zhichen who came out of Yongyang Town? Cao Benshu asked, "Xiao Qifeng was dragged into the water like this."

    Du Xingxue said, "Not yet. His son, Xiao Jingzhang, beat people into cripples because of jealousy. Wu Wengang helped settle the case with the victim. Afterwards, Wu Wengang invited Xiao Qifeng to a banquet, and Xiao Qifeng had to go to the appointment due to affection.  In this way, Wu Wengang entangled the Xiao family father and son, and sent them Wenwan and women, and they were in conflict with each other." "Wu Wengang didn't just evade taxes," Cao Benshu asked.

    "Of course more than that," Du Xingxue said, "Wu Wengang opened a bank, and all the dirty money collected by corrupt officials in Shanghai is stored in Wu Wengang's bank. Moreover, without an access certificate, it is impossible for the imperial court to find out the stolen money. With this, Wu Wengang's  The money bank grew rapidly, and many merchants turned to Wu Wengang for loans. Wu Wengang also took the opportunity to buy shares in many companies, about a dozen maritime trading companies, and Wu Wengang had shares in them. Cao Benshu asked again, "Why are all these criminal accounts in your hands?"  What do you do here?"

    Du Xingxue said: "I was originally from Northern Zhili, and my family fled to Shandong. Shandong was also in chaos, and I continued to flee south. My father and brother died of illness one after another on the way. My father had some friendship with Xuanhu Gong (Xu Guangqi) in the early years, so I took him with him.  The family came to Shanghai. At that time, the Xu family was ordered by the court to separate and relocate. The descendants of Xuanhu Gong were busy dividing up the family property. How could they take care of us who defected? There was no one to make decisions. I was almost hungry at the time  Dead on the street." "Continue to talk." Cao Benshu said.

    Du Xingxue said, "At that time, Shanghai County expanded its recruitment of officials. I planned to be a junior official. I suddenly fell ill a few days before the exam. After I recovered, because I knew Thai and Western mathematics, the primary school in Shanghai had not been opened for a few years, and many wealthy businessmen were in  I was looking for a teacher to give my children extra lessons, so I went to apply for a teacher from Wu Wengang's family."

    Cao Benshu said: "Being a Mr. Xixi is just a temporary thing. Why didn't you go to examine the officials again?"

    Du Xingxue explained, "Both my father and brother died of illness, and I was the only one to take care of my mother. I was too busy working as an official in the new dynasty, so I didn't have time to take care of my mother at home. In addition, as my mother got older, the illnesses became more frequent. Zhuo Jing also died of illness within two years.  Well, the house is in a mess. Well anyway, it's so annoying that I don't have time to do business."

    Cao Benshu asked, "How did you get in touch with Xiao Qifeng?"

    Du Xingxue said, "When I was teaching at Wu Wengang's home, I had a good relationship with his son, and seduced his daughter. Shengxing cooked rice and was pregnant. He didn't want to lose face, so he pinched his nose and confessed.  gone."

    "You are really a bad guy, you can do such things." Cao Benshu couldn't help but sigh.

    Du Xingxue continued, "Later, I deliberately made friends with Xiao Jingzhang and acted as the dog's leg of Mr. Xiao. Through Xiao Jingzhang, I got to know Xiao Jifeng and worked hard to show my talents. Sure enough, I was appreciated by Xiao Qifeng.  Feng, leave the Wu family to do business on my own. Alas, I am really not good at doing business. The business company I opened in partnership with Mr. Xiao closed after only one year of operation." Cao Benshu said, "With the Xiao family as a facade, how can a business company lose money?  "

    Du Xingxue smiled wryly, "Mr. Xiao has too many cronies and friends, so he stuffs people into the trading company from time to time. He has a good face, and many goods are sold because of friends."?, all sold at high prices to our trading company.  In the end, it was the friend that Young Master Xiao had stuffed in, who ran away with money and fled overseas, and even lost two cargo ships.  Cao Benshu lamented, "Young Master Xiao, it's hard to describe in words."  "

    Du Xingxue said: "After that, I stopped doing business. Xiao Qifeng and Wu Wengang also had a rift, so I took the opportunity to be their middleman. I handle all the stolen money from the Shibo Department, and part of it is deposited in Wu Wengang's  Part of the money bank was distributed from Chen Xianchun's hands to fellow officials. Chen Xianchun had only been doing this for five years. Before him, there was a man named Zhai Shirang, who died of illness after being transferred to Shaanxi." Cao Benshu asked, "Is that Zhai Shirang true?  die of illness, or be murdered"

    Du Xingxue shook his head: "I don't know, but he should have died of illness. He left the Shibo Department a long time ago and went to Shaanxi to be a local official. There is no need for Xiao Jifeng to send someone to kill him."

    Cao Benshu asked again, "After Xiao Qifeng was transferred from Shanghai, is he still taking the stolen money from the Shibo Department?"

    "I have been taking it all the time," Du Xingxue said. "This kind of thing can't be stopped. Even if he wants to stop, the maritime merchants involved in the case will continue to send him money. Moreover, the shipping department of other ports also have  I guess most of the confidantes he promoted also received money. The dirty money he has embezzled over the years, if not one million, is probably three to five million."

    Cao Benshu asked again, "Chen Xianchun and his son, you killed them"

    "No," Du Xingxue explained, "Zhai Shirang, who has died of illness, and this Chen Xianchun, what they did, they must die once the case happens. It was agreed a long time ago that if they die, the case will be closed. But  Chen Xianchun was afraid of death and refused to commit suicide for a long time, so I can only persuade myself." Cao Benshu asked, "If you persuade them, they will die."

    Du Xingxue said: "Of course we have to make a painful statement. If they don't commit suicide, they will definitely die if the case finds out. And even if they are beheaded, there will be too many officials involved, and his family will be worse than death. If they commit suicide  , Xiao Qifeng and other officials will take care of their families afterwards. Even if the whole family is exiled, they can quietly send money, and when the news passes, they can slowly move back from the place of exile.

    Cao Benshu didn't want to understand one more point: "Those account books are so important, why are they all placed in the study? If you are afraid of being found out in Datong Bank, you can dig a big hole and bury them. And after I brought people to the door, you actually  Plead guilty immediately."

    Du Xingxue sighed: "Oh, I'm tired. There are more and more officials and merchants involved. As a middleman, I can't sleep all night. And that stupid son of Chen Xianchun always drives a big carriage around the city, afraid  People don't know that his father is a corrupt official, and he will be investigated by the court sooner or later. Also, if Xiao Qifeng can escape this disaster, I guess I will be silenced when the news passes." "You can escape overseas  " said Cao Benshu.

    Du Xingxue said, "My mother, wife and children are all being targeted by Wu Wengang. He also asked his daughter to take her grandson back to her natal family to visit relatives. Now my wife and children are under the care of Wu's family. My mother is almost seventy  Cao Benshu stared at Du Xingxue for a while, and always felt that it would not be so simple. Du Xingxue must have something to hide." Fan Hongjing, the secretary of Shibo, you sent someone  Killed?" Cao Benshu asked.

    Du Xingxue shook his head: "It's not me, nor an official. The hired murderer is my father-in-law, Wu Wengang. Fan Ching is very smart, and even through clues, he suspected that Wu Wengang was deeply involved in the case. He pretended to accept bribes, and deliberately flirted with Wu Wengang.  Friendship, I often inquire about some inside stories. Wu Wengang killed in a fright, Wang Cai and Chen Xianchun dealt with the aftermath, and cremated the body according to normal death, for fear that the government would send a letter for an autopsy." Cao Benshu asked again, "Except for Fan Jing being killed, Wu Wengang  Is there any other murder case?"

    "Yes," Du Xingxue said, "six years ago, there was an official in the Shipbuilding Department who didn't want to accept dirty money, and didn't trust Shanghai officials, so he quietly went to Nanjing by boat to report. He fell into the water and drowned on the way  "

    "This is a loyal minister and righteous man, write down his name." Cao Benshu said to the interrogation recorder.  Du Xing said, "I forgot the name of this official, and I really can't remember it for a small official." The official is not a small official, but an official position.

    Cao Benshu was furious, "The murder case is a big deal, and he killed an official. Doesn't his name deserve you to remember?" Du Xingxue remained silent.  Far away in Luzon.

    A few years ago, a rich man called Du Xingmin came.  He claimed to be the son of a rich businessman in Shandong, and because he had a falling out with his brother over the division of the family property, he took his wife and children away overseas.

    Du Xingmin did not develop in Manila either, and settled in a small village.  He also spent money to buy land, raised a few Japanese wanderers, and bought native captives from the government as tenants.

    ?Now there are hundreds of acres of land, and taxes are paid according to regulations, and the excess land is willing to pay step-by-step taxes.  What's even more weird is that the tablets enshrined in his family are all white boards, without the name of the deceased written on them.

    He has one wife and two concubines, four sons and two daughters.  There is a concubine's room with a son who lives alone in another courtyard.  This concubine's room and Du Xingmin seem to be close, but in reality they keep a distance, as if they are sister-in-law.; He has one wife and two concubines, four sons and two daughters.  There is a concubine's room with a son who lives alone in another courtyard.  This concubine and Du Xingmin seem to be close, but in reality they keep a distance, as if they are sister-in-law.

 Text 925 [Lady Fei]

    Nanjing.

    Ling, who used to like to put on airs as a wife, is now a real wife.

    It's just that she is no longer called Madam Ling, but the famous "Lao Madam Fei", a true first-class Madam!

    The Datong New Dynasty did not have too complicated regulations on the dress of the married woman, only the color and pattern of the dress.  But every time Mrs. Fei went out, she followed the etiquette of Yipin Imperial Order. Since the new dynasty did not have too detailed regulations, she would follow the style of the Ming dynasty.

    Let's talk about the head crown first. The five di birds on the front are all inlaid with pearls.  Below the Zhai bird are two peonies made of pearls.  On the top of the crown, there are two di birds made of gold, with pearls in their beaks.  For the rest, there are patterns of emerald clouds and emerald leaves made of velvet, and pearls and silver ornaments on the forehead.

    Zhai Guan's mouth ring is slightly innovative, and it is not quite the same as the Ming Dynasty.  The emerald circle was changed to a red circle, and besides the eight golden treasure inn flowers, there were also three emerald green jadeite beads.  This is because Mrs. Fei likes red, and the emperor "likes" emerald, so the emerald mouth turns red, and three more emerald beads are added.  The clothes are of course Chuzi plus Zhai Wenxiapei, and the pendants in front of him are no longer matched with gold flowers, but all changed to emeralds and pearls.  Elegant and luxurious!

    Mrs. Fei is in her early fifties this year. Because of the good maintenance, she still looks charming.

    Dressed neatly under the service of the maid, Mrs. Fei stretched out her left hand, and the maid immediately changed her to stand up, and went all the way to the inner courtyard.  High-ranking officials like to raise orchids, but Mrs. Fei doesn't.  The servants in her family are all hired with money, and they have changed from being stingy when they were young, and are generous to the male and female servants around them.

    If the servant's family had difficulties, she would often explain it generously, which won the sincere admiration of the servants in the house.  "Go and call Master and Madam." Mrs. Fei ordered.  The master is of course Fei Chun, and Fei Chun who died half a year ago is the old man.  The wife is Fei Chun's wife.

    Fei Chun Ding You was at home at this time, and it was not convenient for him to travel, so he stayed in the study all day long and learned to play Go to relieve his boredom.  Bringing his wife to the inner courtyard, seeing his mother in formal attire, Fei Chun couldn't help asking, "Where is mother going?"

    Mrs. Fei said, "My eldest grandson was sick, and I once asked the Bodhisattva to bless me. These days, my convulsions have been healed and I have gone to Chen Zhongshan Temple to fulfill my wish. You also went there, and prayed to the Bodhisattva for you that day. The person in your room didn't tell you  "

    "I said it three days ago." Fei Chun's wife replied in a low voice, and she was also dressed formally today.  Fei Chun had no choice but to keep up.

    Mrs. Fei said again, "It's not serious to just wear a Taoist robe. Change into your casual clothes." Taoist robes belong to casual clothes, and casual clothes are the daily clothes of officials. You can tell at a glance that this person is an official.  Fei Chun sighed, and obediently went back to his room to change into casual clothes.

    The Fei family's carriage is quite simple, without gold or silver decorations, but the carriage is relatively large and the horses are more handsome.  There were not many entourages on the trip, and there were a few men and women each. This was Fei Chun's strong request, otherwise Mrs. Fei would definitely hug her.  Out of the gate, there is already a carriage waiting.

    On the carriage, a woman came down, about forty years old, bowed down and performed the Wanfu salute, "Meet Auntie." "Oh, my daughter has been waiting for a long time." Mrs. Fei has a pleasant face, much more affectionate than her attitude towards her own daughter-in-law.  .

    This woman is Xiao Qifeng's wife, Liu Shi. When she was in Luling County, she had already been neighbors with Fei Chun.  At that time, Fei Chun's salary was not high, and he was not rewarded with mines and salt shops, so he lived a tight life.  Mrs. Liu often came to visit, always bringing some small gifts, which made Mrs. Fei smile.  After coming and going, Mrs. Liu became Mrs. Fei's goddaughter.  If it weren't for the fear of messing up their seniority, the two families would have married long ago.  Now that Fei Chun's second son has grown up, and Liu's cousin and niece are about to reach the age of Ji, the two parties have made a marriage contract, and they can get married next year.  Compared with Mrs. Fei's nobility, Mrs. Liu is much more simple, just dressed like an ordinary lady.

    Mrs. Fei took Mrs. Liu's hand and asked, "Why didn't you see you put on that gold pendant I gave you for your mother?" Mrs. Liu replied, "my husband is an upright official and doesn't like his family to show off."

    Xiao Qifeng's personality is that of an upright official. Last year, his son bought a horse and rode it on the street.  Xiao Qifeng rushed to hear the news and broke his son's leg in the street. This incident has already spread throughout Nanjing, and was even praised by the emperor.

    Mrs. Fei said with emotion: "It's not money from greed, how can you say so much? You are also ordered by the third rank, so don't lose your dignity when you go out, and let other officials' ladies look down on you behind your back.'

    Immediately, Mrs. Fei pulled Mrs. Liu into the car, but his son and daughter-in-law took another car instead.

    The carriage moved forward for a certain distance, and Mrs. Liu took out the jadeite bracelet from her bosom. "My husband has an old subordinate who was an official in the Pingnan Military and Civil Mansion. There is nothing in Burma, but jadeite can be seen everywhere. Jadeite is very expensive in Nanjing.  Myanmar is cheap, so my husband accepted it. My daughter knew that my mother liked it, so she asked a craftsman to polish a pair of bracelets.'

    &nbsp; "Oh, this color is so pleasingly green," Mrs. Fei liked it more and more, she held Mrs. Liu's hand and said, "You don't have any decent jewelry, why don't you keep it for yourself?"

    Liu said, "My daughter's mother died early, and she has always been abused by her stepmother. After meeting A Niang, it was like seeing her mother. A Niang loves me so much. She is not my mother, but better than my mother. My daughter has something good.  Naturally, I want to think about A Niang. A Niang don’t want to refuse, please accept my daughter’s filial piety.” Mrs. Fei was even more happy, and immediately put on the jade bracelet, took Liu’s hand and said, “You are my relatives.  Daughter, it’s more painful than my ignorant daughter-in-law. If there’s anything you need in normal times, tell your mother as soon as possible, don’t be afraid to trouble her.  .  " said Liu.

    "I don't ask for a long life, I just want to live to be seventy years old," Mrs. Fei sighed all over her body. "My family didn't enjoy the blessings when he was young. My son managed to achieve something, but he died of a serious illness.  , It’s really not a life to enjoy life. Liu quickly said, “My condolences, Aunt, the days to come will be long.  "Mrs. Fei thought about her late husband, and she was a little depressed. Mrs. Liu coaxed her for a while before she became happy again. When she arrived at Zhongshan Temple, Mrs. Liu helped Mrs. Fei get off the car, and Fei Chun and his wife became redundant attendants instead.  Mrs. Liu was very knowledgeable, and turned her head from time to time, chatting and joking with Fei Chun and his wife, for fear of neglecting the two righteous masters. Those good men and women who came and went, some people recognized them and bowed to them from time to time.

    Even if there were people who didn't know each other, when they saw Mrs. Fei Yipin's imperial attire, they all stopped and bowed their hands to say hello.

    With such a beautiful scenery, Mrs. Fei was in a happy mood.  She likes to go out in formal clothes and to be respected by others. This feeling is as comfortable as drinking ice water in the dog days.  "Happy old lady!"

    But I saw a woman walking out of the hall with a maid, and immediately bowed to Mrs. Fei.  Mrs. Fei nodded slightly, "Miss Wang is being polite.

    This woman is the wife of Wang Tiaoding, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. She is a second-rank imperial order, and she still has some weight in front of Mrs. Fei.  After a few pleasantries, Mrs. Fei asked, "Is the lady of the Wang family here to worship the Buddha, or to visit Zhongshan Temple?"

    The wife of the Wang family replied, "The second child in my family will graduate from middle school next year, and he has to go to worship in Taoist temples and Buddhist temples. Please bless all gods and Buddhas."

    "It should be, this kind of thing should pray to God and worship Buddha," Mrs. Fei said, "Although we can all pay for our children and grandchildren to go to college, can self-financed ones compare with public-funded college students?  He is a non-commissioned officer. A self-financed college student is an official, even if he has passed the general examination, he is also like a former court officer. My grandson is annoying. He didn't even get a high school diploma, so he has no way to go to college at his own expense.  In a fit of rage, the old man simply sent him to the military academy. This bastard didn’t get his graduation certificate from the military academy, so he could only be sent to work as a clerk. By the way, how is your second child’s grades?” said the lady of the Wang family, “Barely still.”  passable.

    Fei Chun couldn't help but say, "Mom, don't compare yourself. Although the second son of Wang Shangshu's family was eliminated in Huangcheng Middle School, he will definitely be able to go to university at his own expense."

    Mrs. Fei was gloomy, and couldn't help scolding, "You two don't know how to teach your children to read, what are you doing all day long?"

    This sentence is actually blaming Fei Chun's wife.

    Fei Chun immediately helped his wife talk, "Mr. Xixi has also been invited, and several of them are well-known and knowledgeable. Every holiday, I give that bastard a make-up lesson. If he can't learn it by himself, he can blame the boss. He is useless."  , the second child is not much different, only the third child is still good at studying. From now on, when the third child makes up lessons, mother, you must not feel bad, let him play while reading." "You are blaming me for doting  Grandson," Mrs. Fei said angrily.  "Don't dare." Fei Chun quickly lowered his head.

    The lady of the Wang family was a little embarrassed, she squeezed out a smile and said, "Old lady, Mrs. Fei Ge, Mrs. Fei, I still have a place where I haven't worshiped at the Arhat Hall, so I won't bother you to pay respects to the Buddha. Farewell!"

    ? Mrs. Fei entered the hall to fulfill her wish, and by the way, she began to make another wish, asking the Buddha and Bodhisattva to bless her grandchildren to become wiser.  After worshiping all the halls in the temple, Mrs. Fei finally returned home.  As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw a group of men in black surrounding me.

    Fei Chun was shocked and was already sweating.  Then I thought again, I'm not corrupt, I'm afraid of their shit

    The leading man in black stepped forward and cupped his hands towards Fei Chun, "I'm sorry to bother Mr. Fei Ge. We also bear the imperial order. Please Mr. Fei Ge come with us. Also, Mrs. Fei and Mrs. Xiao have to go too."  Sit down. Fei Chun became more and more puzzled, "My mother is going too"

    The man in black said, "Xiao Qifeng's incident happened, and Master Fei San was also involved."

    "My third younger brother is in Shandong, what case can I have that I can't fight with Xiao Shufeng." Fei Chun looked resentful.  The man in black didn't explain anymore, just said, "Everyone, please.'

    No matter how angry Mrs. Fei was, she didn't dare to lose her temper when she met the man in black, and she followed along at a loss.  As I walked, I couldn't help but ask, "What crime did my third son commit?"

    "You will know when you go to the National Security Council." The man in black said.

    At this moment, Xiao Qifeng's wife, Liu Shi, suddenly fainted after walking a few steps.  Really dizzy, frightened fainted.walk along.  As I walked, I couldn't help but ask, "What crime did my third son commit?"

    "You will know when you go to the National Security Council." The man in black said.

    At this moment, Xiao Qifeng's wife, Liu Shi, suddenly fainted after walking a few steps.  I'm dizzy, I'm so scared

 Text 926 [The two princes are gone]

    In the interrogation room, there were three people sitting opposite Fei Chun, dressed in black, white and red.

    The black one belonged to the National Security Council, the white one belonged to the Inspectorate, and the one in the red one was directly the Minister of Dali Temple. "Is this a three-court trial?" Fei Chun couldn't laugh or cry.

    The traditional three-court trial is the Procuratorate, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Dali Temple. Officials from the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not come today.

    Huang Zundu of the Academy of National Security Academy asked: "Old Feige, you are offended, and we are also following the emperor's orders.  What is your relationship with Xiao Qifeng?"

    Fei Chun replied: "When I was in Luling County, he and I were neighbors. His wife often came to my house as a guest, and made my mother happy, so he recognized his adoptive parents. At that time, Xiao Qifeng also came to my house occasionally, and my family

    A couple of drinks, and a good personal relationship.  Later, he was transferred to Guangdong, and then moved around to become an official, so he had no contact with him.  It wasn't until he was transferred back to Beijing that he came and went occasionally.  ""He can be promoted quickly, is it related to you?" Huang Zundu asked.

    Fei Chun said: Maybe there is, but I didn't say anything, maybe the officials of the Ministry of History misunderstood.  After all, when my mother went out, the wife of the Xin family often followed her around. Some people would think too much when they saw it.  Huang Zundu asked directly: "Have you ever received money from him? Or other gifts.

    "I am the Duke of the state, and His Majesty rewarded the salt shop and the mine. I have made many contributions, and there are three mines. Do you think I will be short of money?" Fei Chun asked, "Before Ding You, I was already a second assistant.  like

    I have to go home and keep my filial piety. I am now the chief minister of the court, so I can be regarded as an extremely human minister? I have reached the end of my official position, and I am a duke, and I am not short of money. I am worthy of accepting bribes from him? I am not a fool.  Do not pick up sesame seeds.  Huang Zundu said again:

    "Did your mother, wheat and children accept bribes from the poor family?

    Feichun corrected, "That's not called bribery, it's just reciprocity. If you accept the gift, you will return the gift, and it's not something valuable. Don't have any valuables, I will definitely stop them. I don't lack that little Huang Zundu at home.  The two didn't speak, and they didn't seem to know how to interrogate.

    Feichun suddenly said with emotion: "Brothers, don't look at my mother wearing gold and silver to show off every time she goes out, she is actually very frugal."  Most of my mother's tiara and pendant are made of pearls.

    Not the South Pearl (Hepu Pearl), not the North Pearl (East Pearl), nor the East and West Nanyang Pearls, all of them are lake pearls in the south of the Yangtze River) only the biggest one is the golden bead bestowed by the emperor.  She just had a good face.  "As far as the market price is concerned, Hepu pearls are the most expensive, followed by Northeast pearls, South Sea pearls, Western pearls, and Dongyang pearls. Below these pearls, there are lake pearls in Jiangnan. What are lake pearls?

    The artificially cultured freshwater pearls around Taihu Lake.

    In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were artificial pearls in Taihu Lake.  In the Southern Song Dynasty, Buddha statue beads appeared, which were carved into Buddha statues with lead or tin, stuffed into pearl shells, and taken out after two or three years, they became lifelike Buddha statue pearls.

    The three interrogators couldn't help looking at each other. They really thought that Fei Chun's mother would wear cheap pearls.

    Fei Chun continued, "My mother hasn't lost her petty air all these years.  Except for lake beads, her jewelry is mostly jadeite.  She declared that the emperor likes jade, and she shares the same preference as the emperor.  Actually

    Emeralds are cheaper than rubies and sapphires, and you won't lose face when you wear them.  Your Majesty knows his temper, and I often talk about the fate of the founding heroes of the past dynasties, the more I become an official, the less courageous she is, how dare she accept bribes from others?"

    "What's the matter with your third brother?" Huang Zundu asked.

    Fei Chun's third younger brother was born after his parents arrived in Luling County, one year younger than the crown prince Zhao Kuanghuan.

    Fei Chun sighed and said, "My third brother didn't study well. He didn't get into university, and he wanted to be an official all day.  Contributed yesterday

    Already.  Say I cheated for personal gain, I plead guilty, you can do whatever you want.  "" He took Xiao Qifeng's silver, a total of 30,000 taels." Huang Zundu said.  "What?" Fei Chun stood up in shock.

    Huang Liangong said in detail that he went to Shandong to be a petty official.  I brought a few middle school classmates.  Taking the money given by Xiao Qifeng, he partnered with others to start the sea egg business.  He has an official status, so it's not easy to come forward directly, he only sleeps + m

    Take dry stock dividends and run exclusively on the waterway from Dengzhou to Lushun and North Korea.  What's more, I'm doing official business with Lushun under your brand name.  "Bastard!" Fei Chun was so angry that he slapped the table.

    Fei Chun's family is not short of money, and his mother dotes on the third son the most, even if he stays at home as a pig, he can live a good life.  This bastard actually accepted bribes as capital, and even accepted official orders under the sign of Mr. Ruoge

    Is your mind full of shit?

    Huang Qiudu continued; &q??Feeding grapes, these grapes were shipped from the north, and they were kept in a box with ice cubes for the whole process, "My lord, the angels are here!"

    Zheng Zhilong shuddered all over and stood up quickly.

    The imperial court sent imperial envoys to investigate the case, and they found the Zheng family. Zheng Zhilong knew all these things.

    But he could only pretend that he didn't know that he should listen to the opera, and he didn't even dare to leave the house, as if he was resigned to his fate.  The Zheng family is collaborating with the navy in smuggling, and Zheng Zhilong knows about it. His attitude is not to encourage, not oppose, and not to ask.

    "Meet the angel!" Zheng Zhilong went out to greet him respectfully.  The passerby in charge of delivering the decree took out a seal and a copy of the imperial decree.

    Zheng Zhilong stared at the seal and was stunned. The Duke's seal was a gold seal, but in front of him was an iron seal.

    Waiting for the Duke, he was directly demoted to the third-class baron, and he didn't push away the title to save his face.  And the title is also ironic, called "law-abiding man".  4] Zheng Zhilong received the order with trembling hands, and asked, "My brothers Jiaer

    The passer-by replied: "All the important positions should be taken back. They should be beheaded and exiled. Half of the merchant ships of the Zheng family should be confiscated, and a fine of one million taels of silver will be fined. If the current silver is not enough, they will mortgage the shops or  Merchant ships are auctioned off.

    Zheng Zhilong's eyes were dull, and he almost passed away on the spot.

 Text 927 [Reward and punishment]

    Yingmin Hall.

    The cabinet ministers remained silent for a long time. Some people wanted to persuade the emperor to punish cautiously, but they didn't dare to run into trouble at this time.

    Fei Chun's matter was actually not that big, the fact that his titles and promotions were being pushed to the end was more of an example to show the emperor's attitude towards this matter.  After Ding You came back and worked for a few more years, Fei Chun's promotion and dismissal would definitely resume.  Only the title and cabinet rank, how much they can recover depends on how long Fei Chun can live.

    If Fei Chun lived in his seventies and eighties, the chief assistant should not have to run away, and the title could at least reach the earl.  Maybe when the new emperor is happy, he will give the title of duke to him.

    There is also a very small chance that when Zhao Han was in power, he would restore the Duke to Fei Chun-this was the case with Li Banghua back then.

    As for the punishment of the Zheng family, it is more like taking the opportunity to rectify.

    The Zheng family has one family, one duke, one son-in-law, several marquises and earls.  Moreover, the influence in Fujian is too great, and it is also quite prestigious in the navy. This time, it happened to be a haystack and a rabbit to clean up.

    The monarchs and ministers were silent for a long time, and finally Zhu Shunshui said: "If so many officials and merchants are dealt with at once, all major ports will be in chaos. There are not enough officials to manage the shipping department, and there are not enough sea merchants to transport goods to sea. After a year or so, it will  Countless goods are backlogged at the port, and factories and people in the interior will also be affected."

    However, Zhao Han said: "There are no bureaucrats in the Municipal Bureau of Shipping who are in the same boat. They will be promoted one to three levels in place, depending on the specific position and situation. The vacant positions in the Municipal Bureau of Shipping will be transferred by local county officials, and the operation of the Municipal Bureau will be resumed as soon as possible.  As for the maritime merchants involved in the case, the heinous ones should be beheaded and exiled. The rest are just merchants who bribed and evaded taxes. Don’t check how much tax was stolen.  The fines range from 150,000, 120,000, 80,000, 60,000 to 30,000 taels."

    During the reign of Chongzhen, when transporting goods from Fujian to Manila, the average price of each ship was 50,000 taels of silver, and the profit margin was about 100%.  Small boats cost 30,000 to 50,000, and large ships cost 112,000.

    Now that the sea trade is booming, the sea merchants have already rolled up, and they can no longer smuggle, and the profit rate has shrunk to below 80%.  Moreover, short-distance trade makes less money, such as shipping goods from Shandong to North Korea, such as shipping goods from Shanghai to Guangdong.

    Zhao Han's fine regulations, counting the back and forth shipments, are probably the total profits of those maritime merchants for one to two years, which must far exceed the customs duties they evaded.

    ? If there happens to be a marine merchant adding a new registered ship, then consider yourself unlucky, and the new ship will still be fined.

    Such a fine does not comply with the provisions of the "Datong Commercial Law" and is completely a special case.  Who made too many maritime merchants involved in tax evasion, making it difficult for investigators to find out?

    In order to save investigation time, as long as the goods list does not match, it can be regarded as tax evasion, and there is no need to investigate further. After the fine, continue to investigate the next one.  Otherwise, if you investigate each firm and compare each transaction, you will have to find out the year of the monkey.

    Zhao Han continued: "It is inevitable that there will be review errors. If the tax within a thousand taels is not correct, we will not pursue it this time."

    Wu Yingji said: "Your Majesty's punishment is so heavy, I am afraid that many sea trading companies will go bankrupt due to poor turnover. Especially in the past two or three years, the companies that have opened up and operate on loans are buying ships and buying goods. They must not  So much cash."

    "It deserves it for closing down!"

    Zhao Han said angrily: "From now on, we will select a port every year and conduct a detailed inspection of maritime merchants. Just like this investigation, compare the accounts of the general department with the accounts of the merchant company, and strictly investigate and strictly control each transaction.  .Every time the inventory target is selected by drawing lots, Shoufu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance, Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce, and Zuodu Yushi of the Inspectorate must be present.  The censor will supervise the whole process! During the lottery, officials from other departments can also come to observe."

    No one said anything more.

    Zhao Han didn't stop yet: "The merchants who were fined this time have all their business licenses marked with red marks, and if they dare to evade customs duties next time, their licenses will be revoked immediately. The merchants who were not punished this time will be given 'honesty' by the municipal bureaus of various places.  "Management" plaque will be rewarded, and each family will be exempted from tariffs for one ship next year!"

    After thinking for a while, Zhao Han said again: "The few officials who were killed and silenced were promoted to five ranks in their original posts. The Ministry of Rites drew up a table to reward them, and all of them were given the posthumous title of Wen Zhong. The children of these loyal ministers were recommended to send one person to college.  If you have no children, you can adopt them from your relatives. Those who are recommended will be free of tuition fees, and they will be given five taels of silver per month for living expenses until they finish college."

    When Qian Qianyi and his son got the news at home, they were both grateful and heartbroken.

    Qian Ruyi said with tears in his eyes, "These years have been for nothing."

    "It's good if you can survive. It's not a problem to pay some money." Qian Qianyi is very optimistic.

    Qian Ruyi said: "Father, we partnered with the Xie family and the Xu family?? Port officials and maritime merchants continue to take the initiative to send money.

    Muttering for a while, Mrs. Fei asked again: "Where is Tanzhou?"

    Fei Chun had no choice but to fetch the world map, which was a version three years ago, and did not mark the Hawaiian Islands.

    But he was with the emperor and remembered the specific location and proportion.  It is roughly at the latitude between Taiwan and Luzon, going east to America, two-thirds of the entire distance.

    After measuring with a ruler, Fei Chun pointed to the Pacific Ocean: "It's here."

    "There are seas all around, how do you live like this?" Mrs. Fei looked dumbfounded.

    Fei Chun said: "Every year there is a caravan transporting supplies. Apart from not being able to enjoy it, there should be no shortage of things. I heard that there are enough bananas and coconuts there, and mother doesn't have to worry about the third brother not being able to eat fruits."

    (End of this chapter

 Text 928 [Yellow River]

    A total of 47 people were beheaded this time, including 32 officials, 9 merchants, and 6 non-official and non-business civilians.  These six people are all accomplices involved in the case, such as Du Xingxue from Shanghai, and those who personally killed them, and some of them absconded without knowing their whereabouts.

    There were many more exiled, a total of 122 officials and 17 merchants were exiled.  Including their family members, a total of more than 1,600 people were exiled, and more than 800 were exiled to Tibet and Heilongjiang.

    The so-called ghosts in the case were investigated, and two were interrogated.

    One is the customs secretary of the Ministry of Finance. Because the Ministry of Finance assisted in the investigation, this guy received the news very early and quietly tipped the local government to make preparations.  There is also a low-level clean government official. His elder brother works in the Shipping Department of Ningbo City, and he also secretly passed on the news.

    The ransacking and fines are still in progress.

    Especially for fines, the imperial court ordered maritime merchants from all over the world to pay in full by February next year.  If the time limit is exceeded and the penalty is not accepted, the government will take action and forcibly auction their fixed assets.

    In the coastal areas, there is a lot of wailing, and there are many people with poor capital turnover. It is estimated that 10 to 20% of maritime merchants are on the verge of bankruptcy.

    Those private banks were extremely excited, Huizhou merchants, Jiangxi merchants, Western merchants, Lake merchants, and Sichuan merchants transported box after box of silver to the port.  Not enough cash to pay the fine?  We have money in our hands, and the loan interest rate is not much higher than usual. You maritime merchants use cargo ships and shops as collateral.

    What's more, direct acquisition or shareholding, want to take the opportunity to participate in maritime trade.

    Take the Longyou Merchant Gang in western Zhejiang as an example. They mostly do business in remote inland areas.  Occasionally someone goes to sea, not by sea, but by opening a shop overseas, or buying local products overseas.  Now it's cool, the opportunity has come, and if the money is not enough, many companies will raise funds, and we must open up the sea route of the Longyou Merchant Gang.

    The semi-monopoly of coastal wealthy merchants over maritime trade was severely torn apart by the imperial court because of this corruption and tax evasion case.

    Many wealthy mainland businessmen have dug out all the silver hidden in the cellar!

    Zhao Han did not continue to pay attention to the coast, because the Yellow River diversion project, which lasted more than ten years, will be completely completed by this winter.

    Zhang Guowei specially sent a capable man back to explain his whole project to the emperor.

    This man is called Zhai Maohua, and he is the head of the water department of the Ministry of Industry.

    Pointing to the map, he said: "The dividing line of the Grand Canal is Nanwang in the north of Jining. The terrain here is the highest, which is the ridge between the north and the south. In the early Ming Dynasty, the water was controlled and Wenshui was diverted to Nanwang, which made the river diverge from north to south. It flows south to  Xuzhou and Pizhou accounted for four tenths of the water, and six tenths flowed northward to Linqing. Gates were set up in sections along the way to store and release floodwater, and to lift ships. In the Guanjia Lake in the west of Huai'an City, 20 miles of canals were dug  , for Qingjiang Pu, to guide the lake water into the Huaihe River, and build four gates to vent it from time to time."

    Zhao Han seemed to understand, but he didn't seem to understand.

    Zhai Maohua continued: "This time Zhang Shangshu governed the Yellow River. In order to solve the shipping of the Grand Canal, he also adopted the method in Huai'an in the early Ming Dynasty. All the residents in Anshan and Liangshan had to be relocated, because when the water from the Yellow River came, Anshan Lake  The area may be expanded several times. In the north and south of Anshan Lake, six gates are set up in sections. The Yellow River does not flow directly into Anshan Lake, but a 20-mile canal is dug to connect with Anshan Lake. When the Yellow River floods, it can flow  Enter Anshan Lake for flood discharge. When the Yellow River is dry, the six gates release water to ensure the smooth flow of the canal.”

    Zhao Han understood this time that Anshan Lake is specially used for flood discharge, and its function is the same as that of Hongze Lake when the Huai River was taken into the sea.  The current Anshan Town and Liangshanji will be submerged to the bottom of the lake in the future. In the long run, Anshan Lake will become a ghost like Hongze Lake.

    Zhao Han asked: "The Yellow River brings a lot of sediment, will it silt Anshan Lake and Quhe in the future?"

    "It will definitely," Zhai Maohua explained, "it is unavoidable. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Yellow River was treated for about 150 years. Qingjiangpu and Hongze Lake were silted up. Now some places are less than two feet deep. Zhang Shangshu  The method is the same, it will silt up in about one or two hundred years. The more serious the silt and silt, the larger the area of ??Anshan Lake and the shallower the water of Anshan Lake.”

    This is really helpless, the mother river has long been ruined.

    Twenty-five years after Jiajing, how has the lower reaches of the Yellow River silted up?

    It can no longer flow directly into the Huaihe River, but instead takes the river course of Sishui, passes through Sishui and then flows into the Huaihe River.  The section of the Yellow River from Dangshan to Xuzhou is often unable to flow through. It needs to go through the Zhuohe River and Qingou in the north to enter the canal, which caused the canal there to be blocked. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, water transportation could only go along the middle canal.

    Fortunately, the section of the Huaihe River from Hongze Lake to the sea can still be cured.  Unlike in history, after another two or three hundred years, the Huaihe River could not enter the sea, and could only enter the sea through the Yangtze River.

    Zhai Maohua continued: "For the new Yellow River, dams need to be built year by year. There is also the Abandoned Yellow River, the river network is extremely complicated, and it may be flooded in the future."The Nick", and asked for an additional budget while working on it.

    Although the emperor has allocated funds many times, it still exceeds the budget by more than 800,000 taels.

    There are a lot of engineering materials, the payment is still owed, and the merchants have received a bunch of IOUs.  The first thing Zhang Guowei did when he returned to Beijing was to ask the emperor to settle the payment for the goods. It is not a problem to be in arrears with merchants all the time.

    Fortunately, the Datong court has a strong reputation. Otherwise, those merchants would not be willing to pay on credit if they were beaten to death. I have never heard that the court can get back their debts.

    Deep winter.

    Zhang Guowei came to Xuzhou and saw nearly a thousand exiles outside the city. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are there so many prisoners?"

    The accompanying officials gloated: "These are rich people, either officials from the Municipal Bureau of Shipping, or big merchants along the coast. This winter they will be sent to Xuzhou for centralized custody, and next spring they will be sent to Heilongjiang."

    The reason exiles do not go directly by sea is because Xuzhou has a special government office.

    All immigrants and exiles going to the north must be registered in Xuzhou, which is equivalent to the big locust tree in the early Ming Dynasty.

    After listening to the officials' narration, Zhang Guowei just sneered. He worked tirelessly to manage the Yellow River, and these officials made a lot of money.  deserve it!

 Text 929 [Pu Songling]

    Just as Zhang Guowei was about to board the ship, a group of scholars also came to the pier.

    They hang iron swords at their waists and wear square scarves on their heads. They look like they want to travel all over the world.  This style of traveling was originally only popular among rich families, but now it has spread to ordinary wealthy families.

    The scholars in front of them were not in a hurry when they arrived at the pier, but pointed around a group of exiles.

    There was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old scholar who pointed at the exile with a smile and said: "These are all big rats, we should cast aside them." He walked over and spit out with a "Bah".

    "I'm coming too!"

    Immediately, a scholar responded, still tilting his neck, making a "huh" sound in his throat, and finally brewed a mouthful of thick phlegm and spit it out.

    "Bah!"

    The scholars stepped forward one after another, with saliva and thick phlegm flying around. The exiles couldn't stop them wearing shackles, so they had to turn around in shame and anger, and used their backs to catch the sputum.

    The petty official who escorted the exile did not stop this, but watched the excitement with a smile.

    Seeing this, Zhang Guowei shook his head and smiled bitterly: "They are all scholars who are about to reach the crown, but they are still like naughty children."

    But one scholar didn't move, and others asked: "Brother Jianchen, why don't you take a bite?"

    The scholar replied: "Everyone can beat a dog in the water, and I am one of them. When I am admitted to Jinshi and take charge of the government, it will not be too late to beat the dog slowly."

    "It's not easy to take the Jinshi exam." Everyone laughed.

    There are not many official ships in winter, and Zhang Guowei didn't bother to wait. This time he went south by private ship.

    He boarded the boat with a few entourages, and those scholars followed, and someone recognized him: "But Zhang Shangshu, who governs the Yellow River, is in person?"

    Zhang Guowei smiled and cupped his hands: "It's my lord."

    The scholars who were still spitting randomly just now were suddenly in awe, and they all stepped forward to greet him.  These people are all Shandong scholars. Zhang Guowei has been in Shandong for more than ten years and has a high reputation among the people, because he not only manages the Yellow River, but also dredges the rivers in Shandong.

    Zhang Guowei looked at the only scholar who didn't spit, and asked, "What's your name?"

    The scholar replied: "Back to Zhang Shangshu, the student Pu Songling, named Jianchen. He graduated from Jinan University this summer and missed the spring general examination. He will have to wait another three years for the imperial examination. These are all classmates of Jinan University. We  We are traveling together to increase our knowledge and knowledge.”

    Zhang Guowei asked: "Which places have you traveled to?"

    Pu Songling said: "I went to Liaoning in autumn, and I also went to Hetuala, the puppet capital of the Tartars. Now the name of Jianzhou has been restored. Just when General Hu (Hu Dinggui) sent troops to fight, we voluntarily joined the army and did that fortune.  Mr. Liang Min, watched General Hu fight the Tartars from afar."

    "Is there a war in the Northeast?" Zhang Guowei hasn't received the news yet.

    Pu Songling said: "The puppet king of the Tartars died of illness, and Ninggu Pagoda was fighting endlessly. General Hu immediately seized the opportunity to send troops when he learned of the situation. With only three thousand soldiers, he defeated tens of thousands of Tartars in one fell swoop. Now Ninggu  The pagoda has been recovered, and there is no Tartar infestation in the Northeast. All Tatar officials were arrested to work as miners, and the Tartar civilians were scattered and moved to the coast of Heilongjiang."

    "It really is great news." Zhang Guowei said with a smile.

    This civilian ship was transporting coal, and its destination was Yangzhou. It was not a real passenger ship.

    Zhang Guowei naturally has a separate cabin, but those scholars are crowded in the boatman's cabin.  They are not children from rich families, and they can save as much as they can along the way. Fortunately, food prices have been cheap in recent years, and they can’t spend too much money traveling around—there are some rich families, but they must be social and not too high-profile.

    Pu Songling's father has retired, the highest he has achieved is the magistrate, and his experience as an official is quite amazing.

    Pu Pan was the only son of a big landlord. He married one wife and two concubines. He was over forty and had no heirs.  When Zuo Liangyu ruled Shandong, there were locusts and plagues again, and countless local people died of illness and starvation.  Pu Pan thought to himself, no matter how much property he owns, he has no heirs to inherit it, so he might as well give up all his property to help the people.

    So, Pupan took out all the stored grain, saved countless people, and exempted all the tenants from owed rent and silver.

    Since then, times have come and gone, and four sons have been born one after another.

    ?Not only that, when the Datong Army regained Shandong and learned of Pupan's righteous deeds, they immediately made him the acting county magistrate.  After the land was divided, the acting county magistrate became a full-time official, and three years later he was promoted to magistrate in another place.

    ? Fate is like a roller coaster ride. Pu Pan, who is in his forties, has no son and his family wealth is gone.  All of a sudden, sons were born one after another, and his career became prosperous.

    In Pu Songling's childhood, he always listened to his father's nagging: people are doing it, and the sky is watching. As long as you do good deeds, you will be rewarded, and God will not disappoint the kind-hearted people.

    Pu Songling in this time and space will definitely not write "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio" again.Zhao Han originally planned to confer the posthumous title of "Wen Zhong" on the officials who were filthy and brutally murdered.

    At that time, the emperor was in a fit of anger, and no one dared to stand up to object, but the Ministry of Rites kept procrastinating.  Because among the posthumous titles of literati, "Wen Zhong" ranks second, second only to "Wen Zheng", and the collective posthumous title of "Wen Zhong" will lose its gold content.

    Although the ranking of "Wen Jie" is relatively low, it is also a good posthumous title, such as Yang Wanli and Huang Tingjian's posthumous title "Wen Jie".

    And in terms of meaning, "Wenjie" is more suitable for loyal officials who died, who are honest and self-restraining, able to stick to their principles, follow the system, be straight and unyielding, do not take away justice, and do not win in danger.  official?

    Zhao Han didn't want to mention this matter, and ordered: "Those Hue gentry, even if they have contributed to the city, they have to disperse the immigrants and go to Hebei and Liaoning. Allow

    They took the goods away and distributed all the land to the farmers. If they stayed, trouble would happen sooner or later.  "

    It has to be said that the gentry in Hue, Vietnam, their plan was half successful.

    They want to cash in their power and land, and stay in Vietnam to continue to be rich.  Although he can't stay now, he can leave with his treasures, which is better than following Ruan Fubin all the way to Hei.

    As far as Zhao Han is concerned, the gentry took the initiative to donate the city, and what they donated was the royal city, so they can't turn their faces indiscriminately, right?

    The demise of the Ruan regime is somewhat similar to that of the Zheng family in Taiwan in history.

    The main reason for the downfall of the Zheng family in Taiwan was not military.  Rather, Zheng's Group has a high degree of commercialization and maintains trade relations with Fujian and Guangdong all the year round.  If Kangxi was unable to conquer Taiwan Island, a strict sea ban would be imposed, and the Zheng Group would not be able to do business, and it would split itself internally.

    The Hue gentry of the Nguyen regime also participated in a large number of maritime trade (mainly supplying Han merchants). After being blocked by the Chinese economy, they all thought of jumping back and surrendering.

    In any case, Vietnam is completely recovered.

    Zhao Han said: "All the newly occupied land will be merged into Guangnan Province. Part of the northern mountainous area of ??Guangnan Province will be assigned to Yunnan and part to Guangxi.  People rebelled."

    (I don't write about war anymore, hum!)

 Text 930 [Dushui Division is the Gold Swallowing Beast]

    Qianqing palace.

    Xu Ying and Zhang Guowei, who returned to Beijing together, were called by the emperor to eat and drink.

    The monarchs and ministers sat down to greet each other, and without saying a few words, Zhang Guowei said: "The diversion of the Yellow River is just the beginning. In the next 20 to 30 years, the water networks of Shandong and Jiangsu will need continuous management. Henan cannot relax its vigilance and pay little attention to the Yellow River.  It’s broken again. Your Majesty, please appoint an admiral for river management in three provinces to take charge of river engineering and river courses in the three provinces.”

    Zhao Han asked, "Do you have anyone to recommend?"

    Zhang Guowei said: "Wailang Zhu Zhixi, a member of the water department of the Ministry of Industry, is honest and selfless, and he is proficient in water conservancy. He can be used. There is another young man named Yue Xinmin who can also be trained. With these two, he can save fifty  Years of water control."

    Zhu Zhixi was born in Yiwu, Zhejiang. His father, Zhu Sanfeng, was born in poverty. He went north to seek refuge with relatives and became rich in business in Beijing.  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, business in Beijing was bleak. Zhu Sanfeng lost all his capital and took his family back to Yiwu to buy land for farming. His mother also spun and weaved cloth to subsidize the family.

    ?There was a severe drought in Zhejiang again, and the days became more difficult every day.  His mother sold gold and silver jewelry to support her son to study. When the Datong army came to Zhejiang, Zhu Zhixi had already passed the examination of scholar.

    Now that Zhang Guowei is back in Beijing, Zhu Zhixi is in charge of the finishing work of the Yellow River Project.

    Historically, Zhu Zhixi ruled rivers in the Qing Dynasty for more than ten years, and served as Minister of the Ministry of War and River Governor.  Upright and selfless, with all his energy and dedication, he died of exhaustion in the post of Zhihe.  Moreover, he sympathized with the river workers and kept fighting for money and grain subsidies for the river workers.

    Later, Zhu Zhixi was named the God of the River by Yongzheng, and he was worshiped as the Dragon King. The folks called him "Zhu Dawang".  He was chased by Qianlong as a Marquis, and enjoyed the national spring and autumn sacrifices. Qianlong successively gave him seven titles of immortals.  During the Guangxu period, the imperial court also built a special temple in Yiwu to offer sacrifices, and Emperor Guangxu personally inscribed the plaque.

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "Sure, these two should be reused."

    How outrageous was Jiangsu in the early Qing Dynasty?  From 1647 to 1697, in the entire fifty years, only nine years were not accompanied by floods and droughts.  And in these nine years, there were only three years without floods.

    The Qing Dynasty lasted 268 years from the entry of the Manchus to the Revolution of 1911.  Among these 268 years, Jiangsu had 165 years of concurrent floods and droughts. There were no years with concurrent floods and droughts, and there were also separate droughts or floods.  Anyway, as long as the Yellow River does not divert, the natural disasters in Jiangsu will not stop.

    ? The New Dynasty of Datong was early to control the water conservancy in Jiangsu, but the Yellow River has not been diverted before, so it can only be repaired everywhere.  The Huaisi River Basin is flooded every year, and the rest of the local areas are also often droughty. To basically solve the problem, tens of millions of taels of silver will have to be spent to control the river for decades.

    The same is true for Shandong and Henan. Although the Yellow River diversion project is over, it will have to continue to invest money every year in the future.

    Zhao Han and the ministers attach great importance to this. Although cabinet officials complain about spending too much money every year, they only talk about cutting education, military, and immigration expenditures. No one has ever used their brains on river management funds.

    Even when the Yuan Dynasty was in financial difficulties, they still knew how to collect corvee to control the Yellow River? Of course, the main reason is that most of Beijing has no food to eat.  Even though it knew that the management of the Yellow River would brew a major uprising, the Yuan court had to bite the bullet and do so, and officials who expressed concern were also dismissed.

    Zhao Han and Zhang Guowei discussed the matter of river control, and started chatting with Xu Ying again.

    Xu Ying suggested: "In this investigation of the Municipal Shipping Department, only six major ports were investigated. There are so many ports in the country, it is impossible to investigate them one by one. For the remaining ports, officials and merchants can be ordered to surrender. Officials who surrender, the crime will be reduced by three."  etc. Maritime merchants who surrender themselves shall pay five times the fine for tax evasion. Then select a few ports for spot checks.

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully: "This statement is feasible. Next year, five more ports will be randomly inspected, and one port will be randomly inspected every year thereafter. Regardless of the number of years, as long as it is found that no surrender is found, it will be delayed until 20 years later and will be severely punished!"

    This year, only the six major ports were investigated. Some of the officials who were beheaded and exiled are still working in the six major ports, and some have been transferred to other places.  When they were interrogated, some accomplices were also confessed, involving magistrates and other port and shipping bureaus.

    Anyway, the case is not over yet, and the interrogation is still ongoing.

    If the inspection of the ports of the whole country is completed, the Inspectorate will not be able to do other things in the next few years.

    The only way to solve the problem is, as Xu Ying said, that those who surrender themselves will be reduced in crime and cooperate with spot checks.  Those officials and maritime merchants have been terrified. As long as their lives are not involved, many of them must be willing to surrender.

    And based on these surrenders, more unwilling surrenders can be found out. Once they come and go, the efficiency of the investigation can be doubled.

    Zhao Han picked up the jug and wanted to pour wine for the two of them himself, but Xu Ying and Zhang Guowei quickly stood up and refused.  Zhao Han took Xu Ying's handHe opened it, filled the wine glass casually, poured another glass for Zhang Guowei, and the two quickly bowed to express their thanks.

    After clinking glasses, Zhao Han said: "The lower reaches of the Huaihe River is the channel from Hongze Lake to the sea. How big a boat can it handle today?"

    Both of them were familiar with the situation, and Xu Ying replied: "Don't even think about big ships. The water is shallow in winter and spring, and floods in summer and autumn. There are only four or five months a year, and small boats can pass unimpeded. Huaiyan along the coast, or go to Lianyungang, Haizhou.  Nearby, it is transported to Shuoxiang Lake via the Lianhe River. To the north, you can go to Shushui to Shandong, and to the south to continue to go to the Lianhe River to Andong into the Huaihe River. You can either load the ship at the clam port, transport it to the Yanhe River directly to the Yangtze River, or transport it to the Jinghe River.  The Grand Canal between Huai'an and Yangzhou."

    In another time and space, hundreds of years later, Shushui has diverted hundreds of thousands of miles.  Shuoxiang Lake and its surrounding lakes all dried up.  Clam Harbor, Yunyan River, Sheyang Lake and Lianhe River are also gone.

    Zhao Han said: "The Huaihe River needs to be dredged. First, dredge the river channel near Qingjiangpu, and then dredge Hongze Lake to the sea. During the dry season every year, migrant workers are recruited to dig out the river bottom sediment. These migrant workers are recruited from nearby cities and villages, and the government provides meals.  It can also reduce and exempt family taxes, and give priority to recruiting unemployed people in big cities. These unemployed people can be given a small amount of wages. Every winter, the river is dredged, and the sediment is dug out a little bit. After 20 or 30 years, it should be able to be cured.”

    ?Places like Huai'an, Yangzhou, and Qingjiangpu will not be abolished if the water transport is gone. Not only are the main north-south waterways, but also Huaiyan must pass through here.

    ? Dredging the Huai-Si water system, in addition to fighting floods, can also ensure the transportation of Huai salt.  A few more canals will be dug to connect irrigation areas, and industry, commerce, and agriculture will follow suit.

    New China excavated the main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu and the Huaihe River into the sea, and Zhao Han ordered the dredging of the existing Huaihe River, which is equivalent to combining the functions of the general irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu and the Huaihe into the sea.

    After the Huaihe River is completely dredged, it may be possible to build a port at the mouth of the sea. At this time, the clam port is too small.

    Zhang Guowei said: "It is necessary to manufacture a large number of river construction ships."

    "Yes, the Ministry of Finance will allocate funds at the beginning of spring." Zhao Han nodded.

    The river engineering boat is equipped with many tools, which can dredge the river bottom and lift up the sediment, and can work even in dry seasons.

    Zhao Han believes that the Huaihe River can be dredged, because it is very different from what it will be hundreds of years later.

    Let's put it this way, places like Binhai, Sheyang, Dafeng, and Xiangshui are now mostly soaked in the sea, and there is no land at all.  Those places were basically formed during the Ming and Qing dynasties by land reclamation from river sediment.

    Clam Harbor is not far from the east of Funing. At this time, it is close to the sea, and it will be more than 30 kilometers away from the sea in a few hundred years.  At this time, Yancheng is only 20 kilometers away from the sea, and it will be 50 kilometers away from the sea in a few hundred years!

    Just like Hangzhou was a seaport in the Song Dynasty, it was far away from the sea in the Ming Dynasty, and the function of river reclamation is very powerful.

    Zhang Guowei said: "In the critical section of the Huaisi River, embankments can be built on the lake. As long as the people are not endangered, the water level can be raised artificially, and the yellow sand can be washed away with clean water. As long as the Yellow River does not flow southward, it can be cleaned continuously every year.  Yellow, the sediment will rush downstream little by little, even into the sea. Especially in Sheyang Lake, it is not allowed to encircle the lake to build fields at will. When a circle of dikes is built around the lake, fields can be built outside the embankment, and water can be stored inside the embankment to make it yellow.  , and can also be used for flood discharge.”

    Although there is no big river connecting Sheyang Lake with the Huaihe River, it was still ravaged by the Yellow River. It gradually became a swamp area in the Ming Dynasty, and basically disappeared hundreds of years later.

    Now it can still be rescued by storing water and brushing off the sediment of Sheyang River into the sea.  It is also possible to excavate artificial canals to communicate with the Huaihe River, and to wash away the sediment in the lower reaches of the Huaihe River over time.  The same is true for Shuoxiang Lake in the north, which clears the lower reaches of the Huaihe River through Lianshui.  This form uses the power of nature, which is more effective than Zhao Han's dredging by migrant workers.

    Zhang Guowei said: "If all the embankments of Sheyang Lake and Shuoxiang Lake are built, it may take more than ten years, and it is possible to consume at least 10 million or more than 20 million silver. But as long as it is built, it will not only be able to store water.  Yellow, it can also store water and release floods to ensure that the surrounding people will not be flooded."

    "Then do it!" Zhao Han gritted his teeth and said that the financial problem was a headache for the ministers.

    The more Zhang Guowei talked, the more excited he became: "After embankment is built around the lake, irrigation canals will be dug to lead to the states and counties, and gates will be set up to release water during the dry season. This will solve the drought problem in the surrounding counties."

    "After the dam is built, we will dig irrigation canals!" Zhao Han agreed again.

    "Your Majesty is wise!" Zhang Guowei was very happy, this emperor is really obedient, and he will not worry about money for water control in the future.

    Zhao Han is cleaning up the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. The Huaisi water system has become a mess, and all states and counties have to spend money to clean it up.  It can still be saved now, but in New China, it has already been cleared and there is no way to clear it, so we can only start a new stove to dig the main irrigation canal in northern Jiangsu.

    ?Counting the Yellow River Project, it will take decades to get this set up, and it will cost two to three hundred million taels of silver.  And you can only manage a rough idea, and you have to maintain it every year thereafter!

    Money, silver, Zhao Han has to find a way to get money.

    Zhao Han put down his wine glass: "You two, since you have returned to Beijing, let's join the cabinet together as prime ministers."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Xu Ying and Zhang Guowei hurriedly stood up and bowed.

    The new issue of Datong Monthly took a whole page to report in detail on the Yellow River regulation project, and Zhang Guowei's name quickly spread throughout the country.??You can only manage a rough idea, and you have to maintain it every year after that!

 Text 931 [Water and Fire Mage]

    It was also in the winter of this year that two skinny old men were brought to live in Nanjing.

    They are from Nanpan Kingdom, also called Jialai Kingdom.

    But in fact there is no king, only two archmages: the king of water and the king of fire.

    The king of water lives in the east of Mount Ponan, and the king of fire lives in the west of Mount Ponan. It is said that if the king does not see the king, a catastrophe will happen when the two kings meet.

    ? Not only the tribes of Nanpan Kingdom believed them, even when floods and droughts occurred in Laos and Cambodia, two mages would be invited to ride elephants to pray for blessings.

    Now that the Ruan family is gone, the Nanpan Kingdom has also surrendered to the imperial court, and it has been established as the Nanpan Military and Civilian Mansion under Guangnan Province.  The chiefs of each tribe were appointed as the mayors of the towns, and each town sent a Han teacher to set up thatched sheds as schools to impart knowledge.

    These Han teachers are all sons of merchants who have been doing business with the Ruan family for a long time.  A literate clan member from each family can go to Nanpan Mansion to work as a village teacher, and they can be exonerated from their past crimes.

    There is no need to impart any high-end knowledge. The aborigines there are still knotting ropes to keep track of events, and it is enough to teach children to speak Chinese and write Chinese characters.  These Chinese-speaking children can be appointed as town mayors when they grow up-the local chiefs are elected, and have not yet developed to a hereditary level.

    Even the king of water and the king of fire are not hereditary.  They are not allowed to pass the throne to their sons, and they can only select successors from grandchildren and nephews for training.

    The two kings of water and fire, who have never met each other, not only met now, but also became friends along the way, exchanging spells with each other.

    One is Ruolanhei, in her sixties; the other is Ruopoli, in her fifties.

    "Ruo" is not a surname, but an honorific title.

    They also live in Zhongshan Temple with their entourage. Compared with the envoys from other countries, they are very poorly dressed.

    However, the envoys of the various countries did not despise them, and were also very interested, because they heard that they could spell.  The envoys came to visit one after another, wanting to know their customs, and also wanted to see their ability to control wind and rain.

    Finally, on the day before entering the palace to face the saint, the two kings sat together to discuss the future.

    Ruolanhei said: "I have communicated with Chinese officials for two months and learned a lot about them. China is very powerful. If China is like a mountain, we are like rocks under the mountain. The power of the Chinese court will be in our land.  It has been revealed that our children and grandchildren will also become Chinese."

    "That's right, you're right," Ruo Poli took out his pipe, lit the tobacco and said, "So we have to learn from China, and we will go back and tell the people that the most powerful god is Heaven, and the emperor is the son of Heaven."  Come to the world. It is the Dragon King who calls the wind and rain, and we are communicating with the Dragon King when we pray for the rain to recede the water."

    Ruo Lanhei said: "We should also identify other gods, it is best to deify the water kings and fire kings of the past."

    The god system of Nanpan Kingdom is very similar. Their main belief is ghosts, and the so-called magic also belongs to primitive witchcraft.

    However, they are willing to accept new things, such as tobacco.

    It has been less than a hundred years since tobacco was introduced to Nanpan, but the tobacco pipe has become the magic weapon of the two kings of water and fire, and it is the most important magic weapon.  Before each practice, you have to light a cigarette and take a few puffs, saying that you can communicate with ghosts and gods.

    ? Historically, Vietnam completely annexed the Nanpan Kingdom and spread enlightenment like China.  The two kings of water and fire did not conflict, and decisively adjusted their beliefs, and dragon gods and the like also appeared.

    Ruo Poli said: "We made an agreement here. After returning home, let our followers spread the news. Let's say that we met the son of heaven in Nanjing. The Chinese emperor is the real king of gods. The ghosts and gods we established should be the same.  Every five years from now on, we will meet at Po Nan Mountain."

    "Water King and Fire King can't meet, how should I explain to the tribe?" Ruo Lanhei asked.

    Ruo Poli said: "Before we couldn't meet each other because we believed in different ghosts and gods. Now that we meet the Son of Heaven, we will all believe in the Son of Heaven from now on. The ghosts and gods have become the same, so we can meet."

    "That's right." Ruo Lanhei nodded.

    Ruo Poli said again: "I think the Han people are very good at farming. They have iron hoes and plows, and they have dug ditches beside the fields to divert water. We can also learn from it and stop burning mountains for farming."

    "But who can we learn from? We don't understand these things." Ruo Lanhei said.

    Ruo Poli said: "We have donated treasures this time. According to the general officer, the emperor will give gifts in return. We don't want other gifts, but we need hoes, iron plows and seeds. Please ask the emperor to send someone to teach our people.  Farm the land, and teach us to dig ditches to carry water."

    Ruolanhei said excitedly: "In that case, we can grow more food, and the people of the tribe will no longer be hungry."

    There are not many special products in Nanpan Kingdom, such as yellow wax, deer antler, ivory and so on.  They would use these things to exchange iron pots, hoes, salt, etc. with Ruan, but?I feel very good about the Han people, and I am willing to have friendly exchanges with the Han people in the future.

    Zhao Han received two mages, and it was getting late, so he went back to the harem to rest.

    "Your Majesty is coming!" Li Xiangjun greeted him with a smile.

    Zhao Han hurriedly supported him: "Be careful not to move the fetal gas."

    When Li Xiangjun was thirty years old, he was also registered as a concubine, and at the same time gave up his position as a female official, and now he is pregnant with Liujia.

    No one said anything about this matter, but the ministers were very worried.

    There are many such examples, and it is very likely that the harem will interfere in politics.  But they did not dare to oppose the emperor, so they buried their worries in their hearts, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, they urged the new emperor to gradually restore the eunuch system.

    In the past, civil servants hated eunuchs, but now they are eager for eunuchs to come back. At least eunuchs in politics are more reliable than harems in politics!

    Just like the husband thinks the original spouse is disgusting, after divorce and remarries, he thinks about the benefits of the original spouse and wants to remarry.

 Text 932【Cassava and Population】

    Today's doctor who advises farmers is called Yang Banggui.

    He was ordered to arrange agricultural technicians to go to Nanpan Mansion to teach the natives how to farm.  After the matter was settled properly, Yang Banggui led another person to the Yingmin Hall to meet the emperor.

    The Secretary of Quannong has an excellent tradition, and every time he meets the emperor, he must bring some local products.

    This time I brought a pile of cassava, and it was cassava sent from Hainan Island.

    ? Yang Banggui said happily: "Your Majesty, Honglu Temple has brought back many crops from overseas, and the Secretary of Quan Nong has already cultivated and tested all of them for several years. This cassava is a good thing!"

    Of course Zhao Han knew it was a good thing, he smiled and said, "Tell me about your cultivation results."

    Yang Banggui explained in detail: "Cassava is grown in several provinces in the north and south, but the growth in the north is not good, and it will even be frozen to death in winter. Cassava grows well in the southern provinces. It is drought-resistant, wind-resistant, and does not pick soil, but it is not easy to grow sweet potatoes.  Cassava can be harvested in the mountainous areas of the country. It usually takes two years to harvest cassava, but the experimental field in Qiongzhou matures in less than a year, and the yield of fresh potato is more than 18,000 catties per mu!"

    "How much?" Zhao Han thought he heard it wrong.

    "The yield per mu is more than 18,000 catties," Yang Banggui repeated, and continued, "Moreover, cassava is resistant to wind. This summer encountered a typhoon, and other crops in the experimental field were destroyed. Only this cassava survived the typhoon!  "

    Zhao Han praised again and again: "Okay, good stuff!"

    Before crossing, Zhao Han only knew that the yield of cassava per mu was very high, but he really didn’t know that it was so high, and he didn’t know that cassava can shorten the growth cycle in Hainan Island.

    Is it related to the tropical climate?

    Zhao Han instructed: "Then take this cassava and plant it in Luzon and the southwestern border. Especially in Xishuangbanna of Nacheli County, and Pingnan Military and Civilian Mansion, you can try to plant it, and if it succeeds, it will be vigorously promoted!"  "

    Yang Banggui said: "Your Majesty, this cassava is poisonous. I heard that many people were poisoned to death in Africa. It must be soaked in water for six or seven days, and then cooked before eating."

    Zhao Han nodded and said: "This is the same as the kidney beans that were promoted a few years ago. You have to cook them before eating, and you have to warn the people repeatedly when promoting the seeds."

    Kidney beans, that is, kidney beans and kidney beans, were introduced to the coast of China decades ago.  Today, under the official promotion of the Datong court, it has gradually spread to all provinces across the country.

    There are also Dutch peas, which are green beans and vegetable peas, which are slightly different from traditional Chinese peas.  After the Datong Army recovered Tainan, Dutch beans were also brought back to the mainland and have been popularized in the southern provinces.

    And the name is very nonsensical. The Chinese call it "Dutch Bean", and the Dutch call it "Chinese Bean". Its origin is actually in Thailand and Myanmar.

    "How about trial planting of dates?" Zhao Han asked.

    Yang Banggui replied: "Date palms cannot survive the winter in the north. Even if they are not frozen to death, they will be too frozen to produce dates. Even in the Yangtze River Basin, the planting conditions of date palms are not good. They can only be planted in Fujian, Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guangdong.  , Guangnan planting. There are also islands in Taiwan, Luzon, Yecheng, Malacca and other places."

    Zhao Han sighed: "I still plan to plant in the desert of Hetao, it seems that it is too cold to do."

    The Winter Solstice Festival, the Great Court Meeting.

    The military officials wished the emperor a happy holiday, and the wives also entered the palace to congratulate the concubines.

    After the court meeting was over, Zhao Han held a banquet in the palace and invited the ministers of Wu to try cassava noodles dumplings.

    The ministers didn't care too much. The emperor would have given his ministers flat food dumplings during the winter solstice and New Year's Day. This is a rule handed down from the Ming Dynasty.

    After sitting at twenty or thirty tables, Zhao Han held up the fast food and said, "Let's start, let's taste the difference in this year's flat food."

    Fei Ruhe dipped in vinegar and took a bite, but didn't feel any difference.  But he knows the emperor, knows today's dumplings, it must be different.

    Chen Xisong, who has been promoted to Zuo Shilang, of course knows what this is, and the officials who persuaded the agricultural department are all his old subordinates.  But it can't be said for the time being, the emperor needs to announce it, and it can't steal the emperor's limelight.

    Halfway through eating the dumplings, the guard brought in two baskets of cassava.

    All the ministers looked at it one after another, guessing what kind of crop it was, anyway, it must be edible.

    Zhao Han finally smiled and said: "The name of this thing is cassava, which is produced in America. It was introduced to Africa by the Portuguese, and now it is planted in our dynasty. The noodles we eat today are mixed with cassava flour. Two catties of wheat flour mixed with  A pound of cassava flour can be used to make dumplings."

    Zhu Shunshui cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, another new crop has been obtained, and all the people in the world can have enough food and clothing."

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "This plant can be planted in the southern provinces. It is cold-resistant, wind-resistant, and does not pick the land. It can also be planted in barren mountains. It can also produce thousands of acres per mu., Ordinary farmers and tenants have to pay water rent to the big landlords for irrigation every year.

    Thirdly, based on the unit of origin or clan, farmers raise funds to expand overseas. This method is very common in Taiwan, and there are many in Luzon and Yecheng.  Often a village is all from the same county.  Or a village, although they are of different origins, are all Hakka people.

    Probably the Qing Dynasty's model for developing Taiwan.

    Historically, although the Manchu Qing regained Taiwan, they only opened one port, and they were not allowed to bring family members there.

    This kind of ban is empty, and people from Fujian and Guangdong provinces frantically head to Taiwan.  However, it is difficult to cultivate overseas, and the family members really cannot take them there. Often there are several villages where there is not a single woman, and they are all young and vigorous young men.

    They are all young and strong, they have no family records, and they are surrounded by fellow villagers. Guess what will happen?

    In Taiwan in another time and space, uprisings continued during the Qing Dynasty.  And it's very nonsense, it all went very smoothly at the beginning, and the Manchu Qing garrison was beaten to the ground, and then the rebel army split internally.  Zhangzhou people, Quanzhou people, Cantonese people, and Hakka people fought each other, and were finally divided and suppressed by the army sent by the Manchu Qing.

    The name Chiayi County is the result of fights between immigrants.  Inside the Tiandihui, due to the enmity of the native place, the local people sided with the imperial court, and were finally rewarded by the imperial court and renamed "Chiayi".

    What kind of landlord, what kind of government, in front of young and strong immigrants without the fetters of wives and children, they all belong to scum!

    However, officials sent to Taiwan by the Qing Dynasty often failed to change their minds.  No matter how the officials try to persuade them, the officials will follow the mainland's way of extorting and extorting in Taiwan.  As soon as exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes are collected, they will explode, and if they are too harsh, they will directly kill officials and rebel!  The shortest is a riot every few years, and the longest is a major uprising in the past 20 or 30 years.

    Today's Datong New Dynasty, overseas development has that flavor.

    ? There are also more men than women and less women, and they also hold together in the same village.  Even big landlords have to be polite to them, and young people who have nowhere to exert themselves are prone to trouble.

    In the past two years, more and more young people have gone overseas to explore, and the overseas governors are both happy and headache.  The key is to find wives for them. As long as they have wives and children, these young adults can be stable.  So the governors applied to the imperial court to withhold part of the tax money and buy young women from the local chieftains.

    Those natives also fight among themselves, and now they are fighting more fiercely, robbing women and selling them to the Han governor.

    Especially on the island of Java, several sultans existed at the same time.  I have already played out my dog's brains. Once someone wins, they will immediately send troops to plunder. In addition to robbing goods, they will also rob women. Transporting women to Coconut City can be exchanged for wealth.

 Text 933【Colonization is bloody】

    Whether it is Batavia or Jakarta, it is now a past tense, and it is now the Governor-General of Coconut City in China.

    The land around Yecheng was originally in the hands of Han landlords.  After the imperial court ruled Yecheng, the governor encouraged the people to open up. The original tenants continued to farm while opening up the surrounding land.

    In a few years, tens of miles of land was expanded, and the land ceded to Yecheng from Wandan Kingdom was all developed.  The local Javanese natives either went to the city to work or worked for the landlord, otherwise they could only be expelled.

    The governor said that the aborigines should be educated slowly, but the Han peasants didn't care about that many, and they even armed themselves to fight.

    They will unite and fight whoever refuses to let them reclaim the land!

    On New Year's Day in the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Lu Baohua and his fellow villagers spent the rainy season.

    Lu Baohua was a farmer in the mountainous area of ??Guangdong. The Datong New Dynasty was established. His parents gave birth to eight sons and one daughter in succession, and only two sons died in infancy.  How can the land allocated by the government be enough?  Not to mention the mountains.

    He successfully graduated from elementary school and finished middle school, but he only got a school certificate.

    Lu Baohua could only go to work in the city and worked as an apprentice for several years. He really didn't like it, so he asked his classmates to go to Guangzhou to make a living.  One day, he met Yecheng who was returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors. He heard that the surrounding area of ??Yecheng was full of land, and as long as he went there, he could reclaim it. The premise was that he could withstand the aboriginal attack.

    At least, you have to carry it yourself until the governor sends troops to rescue him!

    After thinking about it, Lu Baohua went back to the mountains and summoned the young and strong to go out to farm.  A few people were recruited in this village, and then went to the next village, village by village, and finally recruited hundreds of people to go to sea.

    They are all poor people in the mountains, and each family scrapes together, except for the boat money, there are still a few taels of funds available.

    They took farm tools, seeds and dry food and set off from Guangzhou Port by boat.  After reporting to the Yecheng Governor's Mansion, Datong Bank loaned them 22 taels of silver, and then they were taken to a forest dozens of miles away by officials.

    In the first year, the trees were cut down to plant sugarcane, and the seeds brought were useless.

    ?Because I heard from the local people that the grain harvest in the first two years was not high, but the sugar cane can be sold at a good price.  Sugarcane seeds are bought from local Han people, and the felled wood can be sold to merchants.

    Sure enough, the sugarcane harvest was bumper, and they couldn't wait to plant it for another two or three years, and in the second year they took out half of the land to plant upland rice.

    The yield of upland rice is low, but the taste is good and the price is high.

    The main reason is the lack of irrigation canals.  So in the second year, they dug aqueducts and bought water from local farmers to irrigate the fields. The water fee was calculated according to the irrigation time.

    In the third year, Lu Baohua presided over the division of fields and divided the cultivated land reclaimed collectively.

    This year, Lu Baohua asked his younger brother to go home by boat, bringing back letters and silver coins to the young and strong, and hoped to attract more fellow villagers to cultivate.  They said in their letters home that the land in Yecheng is extremely fertile, rice can be harvested twice a year, and they don't need too much fertilizer.  The agricultural tax here is lower than that of my hometown, and the first five years of reclamation can be tax-free.  After reporting to the governor, you can get a loan for land reclamation.

    When the four miles and eight villages heard the news, half the county was shocked, and more than three hundred young and strong went to sea together.

    In fact, overseas pioneering is very difficult, exposed to the sun and rain, and the water and soil are not acclimatized.  Although the yields of sugar cane and rice are high, the prices are often lowered by merchants. Although there is no need to worry about food and clothing throughout the year, there is no money left at all.  The money I brought back to my hometown was saved by tightening my belt.

    There were two batches of young and strong, with nearly 500 people. The governor allowed them to build a village, and Lu Baohua was elected as the village head.

    Among the young and strong, there are more than a dozen peasant soldiers.

    The Datong court reduced the number of peasants and soldiers many times, and it also stipulated that every peasant and soldier had to "retire" and recruit new recruits after only three years of leisure training.  To put it bluntly, it is a reserve service that does not receive military pay, but during the period of serving as a farmer and soldier, each person can be exempted from land tax of two acres.

    Only those who have land at home are eligible to be farmers and soldiers, and urban residents are not eligible.

    Lu Baohua's village is called "Sugar Rice Village", the name comes from the crops they grow.  A peasant soldier named Ge Shun was appointed as the captain of the peasant soldier because he had finished elementary school. All the young and strong were incorporated into the team, and they took turns to practice during the slack season.

    The governor does not encourage, prohibit, or manage this kind of peasant and soldier team. Anyway, it develops in a free-range manner, and the main combat target is the surrounding aborigines.

    "Brother, the goods are here!"

    Lu Baoliang brought people back from Yecheng, and he was going to buy arms this time.  The governor only banned firearms and everything else, so someone started making bows and crossbows for sale.

    Lu Baohua opened the box and took a look, he was overjoyed and said: "Good product!"

    ? Thirty pairs of crossbows, this thing is very popular in the countryside of Yecheng, and it is a sharp weapon against Javanese natives??We can only rely on ourselves to grab it!  "

    "What if we are rich and the girl from my hometown is willing to come and get married?" Xue Fentian asked.

    The name "Fentian" is very common. It is estimated that when I was born, I happened to meet the Datong Army Fentian, just like the founding of the new China and the aid to the DPRK.

    Wan Wenqing said with a smile beside him: "The aboriginal woman who was snatched can be a wife. If she marries a girl from her hometown again, the aboriginal woman can be a concubine."

    "It's a good feeling, and I can marry a concubine." Xue Fentian grinned.

    The content of the meeting suddenly turned to how to grab and divide women.  They don't have to worry about food and clothing here, what they lack is a family, and the hundreds of young and strong have long been exhausted.

    These young people have cures for night blindness, all learned from farmers and soldiers, but many of the natives can't see clearly at night.

    The plan for dispatching troops was to attack at night. Hundreds of young and strong men traveled through the forest and touched the outskirts of the native village at night.

    The natives were unsuspecting and ran around in the dark in fright after a few huts were set on fire.  While the Han people were young and strong, they placed torches everywhere and beat the gongs loudly, creating a formation of thousands of troops to kill.

    There was no suspense in the battle. After dawn, the number of people was counted, and more than 80 people were captured, of which more than 60 were women and children.

    "Burn this place clean, move all that can be moved away!" Lu Baohua was ruthless, catching women was the second priority, he wanted to destroy this indigenous tribe.

    The Datong government may have to face, thinking about how to educate the aborigines.

    These folk Han colonists came here no matter how convenient they were.  Destroy a few more surrounding tribes, and you will be able to sit back and relax in the future, without having to worry about harvesting food every year.

    Lu Baohua brought the captives back to the village, and all the men were sold in the city, while the women stayed to marry young men.

    Who can divide the women will be determined by drawing lots.  If you don't get it, wait until next year to grab it.

    Colonization is not a treat for dinner, it will always be so bloody.

    If things go on like this, I am afraid that in less than thirty years, Han farmers will be farming outside the city of Banten.

    Banten Sultan, definitely can't bear it, and will definitely raise troops within three to five years, even if they can't win, they have to bite the bullet and fight.

 Text 936 [England, your king is back]

    Four Chinese ships encountered wind and waves at the Cape of Good Hope, and sailed dangerously into False Bay for refuge.

    After the wind and waves weakened, we went around the Cape of Storms and came to Cape Town, a Dutch colonial port.

    There are hundreds of residents in Cape Town, but there are only a few hundred Dutch people, and the rest are all natives of Southeast Asia.  There is no need to worry about food here, but it is still impossible to repair the ship. With the letter from the governor of the Netherlands, everyone has supplied some fresh water and food.

    In the Portuguese colonial port in the north, it was delayed for a full month, mainly to repair damaged ships.

    At this moment, Cromwell had died of illness for three months, and his son Charlie Cromwell succeeded him as the Lord Protector. The conflicts in Britain accumulated over the past ten years broke out completely.

    Mainly the battle between the civil service and the army, Charles Cromwell tried to rely on the power of the civil service, and the military officers strongly opposed it.  And those civil servants are also extremely hostile to the army, and believe that the army should not interfere with the operation of the parliament.

    Parliament still exists, but only the House of Commons and the House of Lords has not yet been restored.

    The civil servants are basically the gentry class from the House of Commons, and they came to power through the Cromwell rebellion.  Similarly, the army followed Cromwell, mostly from the bourgeoisie and gentry.  The two parties were once revolutionary partners, but after the execution of the king, they fell into a state of fierce hatred.

    The core contradiction is whether Britain should be governed by civilian officials or by military officers, and thus the long-term struggle for power can only be suppressed when Cromwell is alive.

    Charlie Cromwell grew up in a honeypot. He didn't make any achievements in the revolution. How could the army ignore him?

    When Charles arrived in Portugal by boat, the civil servants of the British Parliament passed a resolution restricting the military from interfering in politics.  Those senior military officers began to force Charles Cromwell to dissolve Parliament.

    In desperation, Charles Cromwell was forced to dissolve Parliament and give more powers to senior military officers.

    The senior officers just stopped, and the junior officers moved again!

    After Cromwell's death, the treatment of the army became worse and worse. The civil servants and senior military officers of the parliament did not care about the life and death of the soldiers at the bottom.  So the low-ranking officers connected with each other and rushed into London with soldiers, surrounding the Duke Protector's Palace.

    "What are they trying to do? I have already dissolved the parliament!" Charlie Cromwell was shocked and angry, hiding at home and shivering.

    The adviser replied: "They are asking for a parliamentary reorganization."

    Charlie Cromwell didn't think about it: "Didn't the army ask me to dissolve the parliament? Why did it just dissolve and then reorganize?"

    The consultant said: "It is the high-ranking generals who demand the dissolution of the parliament, and the low-level military officers who demand the reorganization of the parliament. Without a parliament, the treatment of soldiers cannot be improved. These low-level military officers actually want to raise their salaries."

    Obviously, in the army created by Cromwell, the upper and lower ranks of the army have been separated.

    "Go out and tell them I'll call Parliament again," said Charles Cromwell.

    The parliament that had just been disbanded for a month was reorganized in such a ridiculous way.

    However, after the reorganization of the parliament, the civil servants once again suppressed the army, and did not give the soldiers a raise.  This move forced senior and junior military officers to unite, forcibly dispersed the parliament again, and formed a temporary military government called the "Security Committee".

    Charles Cromwell, Henry Cromwell, the two brothers were forced to swear that they would no longer be Lord Protector of the United Kingdom in this life, and the military government would arrange houses and annuities for them.

    The Cromwell family lost power, and the seal of the Lord Protector was split in half.

    The chaos has just begun, and the whole country refuses to accept the military government.  Inside the military government, officers also began to fight for power.

    George Monk, who led the army stationed in Scotland, heard that the situation in London was chaotic, so he led the army to London under the pretext of defending the Parliament.  This old man was originally a royalist, and after being captured, he defected to Cromwell. He wanted to take the opportunity to capture London, and then welcome back the descendants of the British royal family, so as to obtain a higher title with his support.

    This guy led the army to move to the banks of the Tweed River, and did not go directly to London. He stopped and issued a call, waiting for the royalists, capitalists and civil servants to come and join him.

    At this moment, Charles was already in Portugal, joining his mother, who was surrounded by royalists in exile.

    Four Chinese warships and more than a dozen Portuguese warships headed towards London mightily.

    Before approaching the port, more than 30 British warships surrounded them and prepared to fight.

    "Raise the flag!"

    Charles ordered.

    The British royal flag was raised on the mast, and the British warships immediately stopped advancing.

    A naval officer came in a skiff and tore apart theThe Royal Army raided and executed them all in front of the citizens of London.  Then an amnesty was announced, and the citizens and soldiers of London were all innocent, and then led troops to ransack the homes of all the senior officials of the military government.

    Historically, Charles was invited back by the parliament, but now he came back with soldiers.

    He doesn't have to be careful to forgive everyone. After killing all the important officials of the military government, he arrested the civilian officials of the House of Commons.  In another time and space, he executed only nine people, all of whom were officials who personally signed his father's death order.  Now, Charles killed 65 civil servants in one go.

    Cromwell was dug out and flogged his body. Cromwell's two sons were all beheaded and killed.

    The exiled royalists he brought back, as well as the royalists who hid in England, both were promoted to nobles.  Then the parliament and the House of Lords were reorganized, and the obedient squires were allowed to form the House of Commons, and orders were issued to appease the troops stationed in various places. In just half a month, they took control of the whole country.

    Immediately afterwards, an announcement was issued to Ireland and Scotland, saying that Cromwell was a big villain, and that he would treat the Irish and Scots well if he became king.

    When the news came out, Ireland and Scotland stabilized instantly and regarded Charles as a benevolent monarch.

    This benevolent monarch stopped the ship that was about to leave for America, and rewarded all the thousands of Irish slave girls on board to his subordinates.

    (End of this chapter

 Text 937 [Alliance of China, Britain, France and Portugal]

    ,

    Charles was then crowned in London as Charles II.

    In the early years, the royalists who followed their mother and son into exile were conferred two dukes and three marquises in one go.

    Although George Monk, who was stationed in Scotland, had defected to Cromwell and issued a statement, he stayed on the way, but he was once a royalist after all.  Moreover, now that he holds a heavy army in his hands, he has also won the position of Marquis.

    As for Thomas and John, these two young people from the countryside in London, they were made viscounts directly across classes.

    The title is not high, but it is not low. The main reason is that the class has improved, and it can continue to rise at a young age.

    What's more, they were also appointed to important positions.

    Thomas took five hundred Arakan soldiers to Cromwell's hometown of Huntingdon, with the purpose of sweeping away Cromwell's remaining influence.  A large piece of land there was allocated to Thomas as a fiefdom, far exceeding the viscount treatment.  Moreover, all of the five hundred Arakan soldiers had the title of knight, and each of them was allocated a small piece of land.

    John remained in London, responsible for guarding the court, and got a fief on the outskirts of London.

    When Cromwell came to power, he not only killed the king, but also carried out a big purge.  A bunch of traditional nobles were killed, some even their descendants were killed, and the land and property were divided up by the revolutionaries.  These lands can be taken back and re-given to heroes.

    Historically, Charles was invited back to be the king, and he didn't even dare to take back the royal land.  Nowadays, much of what the revolutionary party eats has to be spit out.

    Of course, for those places that are too far away from London and there are no sufferers, Charles still chooses to let nature take its course.  If all of them are withdrawn, it will force against the gentry class and bring unnecessary trouble to oneself.

    The method is nothing more than a combination of kindness and force, to kill those who dance the most fiercely and have a bad reputation, and the rest Xiao Xiao will forgive and appease.

    Everything seems to be settled, but Prince Charleswell, King Charles II, is left speechless for a long time in the face of a pile of accounts.

    The old King Charles I was beheaded because of the failure of financial reforms, which led to a major uprising.  Cromwell's son, as well as the previous military government, were also unable to establish prestige due to financial problems.

    Even if Cromwell is still alive, his rule may not last long.

    Last year, the UK's annual revenue was 1.9 million pounds, fiscal expenditure was 2.3 million pounds, and the total government debt was 2.6 million pounds.  Among them, military expenditure is the bulk, the army spends 1.1 million pounds a year, and the navy spends 900,000 pounds a year.

    The military expenditure of the army was mainly used to suppress the Irish uprising. After more than ten years of suppression, the population of Ireland was halved.

    The navy's military expenditure is mainly for wars with the Netherlands and Spain, and the arms race continues.

    ?Charles II, who successfully recaptured the throne, obtained a large amount of money by ransacking his home, but it was nothing compared to the fiscal deficit.  Especially for the 2.6 million pounds of public debt, interest is paid every year!

    After thinking hard for many days, Charles II convened a parliament and announced his decision directly.

    First, set up the Ministry of Administration, the Ministry of Taxation, the Ministry of Military Affairs, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, establish the Bank of England, and restore the Royal Privy Council.

    Second, clearly divide the functions of the House of Lords and the House of Commons. The officials of each ministry are elected by the Parliament and then appointed with the consent of the King. The King can directly appoint officials.

    Third, formalize the consumption tax, monthly tax and customs duties.

    The consumption tax and the monthly tax were created by Cromwell, and they must be collected by the bourgeoisie and the gentry.  Now that Charles II has confirmed it, it is equivalent to giving the House of Commons enough power.

    The monthly tax paid to farmers, also known as land tax, accounts for a quarter of farmers' total income.  Because the harvest was too heavy, farmers began to rebel, and Cromwell was forced to drop to one eighth.

    As for customs duties, they were previously contracted out to merchants by the royal family.  Facts have proved that it is better to raise civil servants to collect the tax. Even if the civil servants are corrupt, the tariffs collected can be doubled.

    After finalizing these, Charles II still sighed.

    "I really envy the emperor of China." Charles II said.

    John, who was in charge of the court, knew what the king was thinking, and said: "Education must be established in order to have enough officials."

    Charles II said: "But I have no money to build a school."

    Don't look at Charles II doing a good job, but Britain does not have a mature civil service system.  Tax collection used to rely on the royal family and nobles, but now it can only rely on the squires and the bourgeoisie. In the long run, the power of the House of Commons is enough to overthrow the king.

    Historically, when Charles II wanted to reform in his later years, he could only hold the parliament in Oxford, and sent troops directly to the town of Oxford.  Because the MPs in London were too powerful, he was afraid that he would be directly killed by the MPs in the middle of the session.

    &nbs??Integrated into rice, the degree of deliciousness is multiplied.  "

    The aristocrats followed suit, and all praised the food as delicious, and some even drank it with wine.

    There is no Chinese chef on Charles II's side, but he can cook himself.  When this guy was in exile in Europe, he even learned carpentry, and he also learned a lot when he went to China.

    The next day, the British envoy arrived.

    Queen Anne refused to marry for the simple reason that she hated Charles II's mother, and she had a very bad relationship with this sister-in-law.

    Prime Minister Mazarin observed the situation and immediately found a legitimate excuse for the queen: "We are allies with the Netherlands, while Britain and the Netherlands are enemies. We cannot marry the enemy of our allies."

    Louis XIV didn't think so. He said to his mother: "The younger sister of Charles II married the crown prince of China. If my niece marries Charles II, I will be equal to the emperor of China, and I will be the same as the emperor of China."  They are relatives."

    The queen mother and the prime minister were speechless for a moment.

    Louis XIV continued: "Britain and Spain are enemies, and France and Spain are also enemies. The marriage of France and Britain can suppress Spain. As for the Netherlands, what is the use of this ally? The Dutch East India Company almost went bankrupt a few years ago.  The army is also not a threat. We should form an alliance with Britain and Portugal to deal with Spain. Britain and Portugal have married their princesses to China. They are joining forces to fight against Spain and the Netherlands. France should also actively join this alliance.”

    "No," Queen Anne said, "French princesses can marry anyone, but not Charles II!"

    This queen was angry with her sister-in-law when she was young, and she can remember her grudges for a lifetime.

    Louis XIV said: "Mother, my niece married Charles II, what will he call you in the future?"

    Queen Anne was instantly happy, the marriage was completed, and her sister-in-law (mother of Charles II) would be her junior from now on.

    Although Europe doesn't talk about seniority very much, it still makes her very happy.

    Through the marriage, the alliance of China, Britain, France and Portugal has taken shape. Their current enemies are the Netherlands and Spain.

    Of course, sooner or later there will be a day of turning around

 Text 938【Change in England and France】

    ,

    Historically, the title of the Royal Navy was bestowed by Charles II.

    So why is there no Royal Army?

    Because Charles II compromised with the parliament, the royal family gave up the military power of the rest of the army except the king's guard.

    In this time and space, Britain has the Royal Army!

    After a little rectification of financial problems, Charles II began to reorganize the army.

    The Army was renamed the Royal Army and organized into the Arakanese, English, Scottish and Irish regiments.  Most of the New Model Army formed by Cromwell was disbanded, except for the Coldstream Guards to defend London.  The size of the army is 25,000 people.

    The navy was renamed the Royal Navy, and the generals of the fleet returned home one after another, kneeling before the king and swearing allegiance.  The king's younger brother, James, was recalled to England, made a duke, and served as the supreme commander of the Royal Navy.

    In this regard, Charles II took control of the army.

    Legislative power still belongs to Parliament, but in the hands of the House of Lords, and the House of Lords are all traditional nobles.  The squires and the bourgeoisie in the House of Commons can only discuss the amendment of local regulations. Their greatest power is to control the tax system (except customs duties).

    Charles II seems to have centralized power, but he has not completely centralized power. Taxation has always been stuck by the House of Commons.

    Previously, Duke James had been serving as a soldier in France, and now he returned to the UK as the commander-in-chief of the navy, and immediately began to investigate naval problems.

    James discovered that of the 900,000-pound naval budget last year, 300,000 pounds were missing, and no one knew where it was spent.  Corruption in the navy is serious, ships are dilapidated and in disrepair, soldiers are owed half a year in pay, and morale is extremely low.

    what to do?

    Find a Dutch businessman to issue a bond loan again!

    The Dutch stock market crashed a few years ago. Although it is barely recovering now, investors have long lost confidence in the stock market.  Due to the impact of China, the Dutch East India Company can only barely keep its capital (the dividends of the major shareholders are still being paid).  The Dutch West India Company has been losing money for more than 20 years.

    Dutch businessmen don’t have good investment goals. Charles II is now issuing bonds and loans. This is a high-quality customer!

    Charles II sent people to the Netherlands to issue bonds, and within two months, Dutch merchants subscribed for 500,000 pounds.  Then, several major royal shipyards in the UK were operating at full capacity, some were used to repair old warships, and some were used to build new warships.

    The navy is rectifying, and the royal school has not yet opened, but Charles II can't wait.

    Although the king regained the right to tax duties, the tax officials are all members of the House of Commons, and corruption is extremely serious.  He immediately issued an order to let the charity secondary schools across the country, each school send one of its best graduates to London.

    The universities in Britain at this time are all church schools.

    The rest are charity schools. Charity primary schools do not teach Latin, and they work for school managers after graduation.  The Charity Middle School has to teach Latin, and the nobles are cultivating ruling power for themselves, and the school directors are mainly traditional nobles, which have nothing to do with the emerging classes in the House of Commons.

    Two months later, more than 20 graduates of Charity Middle School gathered at Hampton Court Palace by the River Thames.

    These graduates are very excited. They are all the children of common people, and the best come from the poor nobles.  Now that he is personally summoned by the king, he must have a bright future in the future.

    Charles II and the middle school graduates sat around a long table.

    ? Dishes were constantly being served, which they had never seen before, and the tableware included spoons, knives and forks, and unknown small wooden sticks.

    I saw Charles II picking up chopsticks and saying to the graduates: "Britain's tableware is too simple, France uses knives and forks, but Britain only has spoons. I went to far away China, and the Chinese emperor ate with chopsticks and spoons. Now,  I will teach you dining etiquette. Use a spoon to drink soup, use a fork if you can use a fork for small pieces of food. If you can’t use a fork, you can use chopsticks to hold it. For large pieces of meat, hold it down with a fork and cut it with a knife  open."

    These graduates study very seriously and learn knives and forks very quickly, but chopsticks are a little troublesome.

    In addition, there are only three prongs at this time.

    After learning table manners, Charles II said: "Let me introduce myself and get to know each other, starting from my left hand."

    A teenager stood up: "My name is John Joseph and I am from Meadows Middle School. Nice to meet you all."

    "Very good," Charles II took the lead in applauding, "Welcome, John!"

    Hearing everyone's applause, the young man was very excited. He had never received such a courtesy. He thought that Charles II was the wisest king.

    One graduate after another reported their names, and finally one stood up and said, "My name is Isaac Newton, from Grantham.In the courtyard, Louis XIV was a little impatient, so he called the court guards and said: "My mother is very pious, and she swore to serve God for the rest of her life. You escort her to the monastery."

    "Queen Mother, please." The guards gathered around.

    Queen Mother Anne was almost dragged away, accompanied by only two maids who were responsible for taking care of her future daily life.

    The position of prime minister in France is gone, and no prime minister will be appointed in the future. The king directly issues orders to ministers. France has entered the peak moment of monarchy centralization.

    At the same time, King Charles II of England also began a semi-centralized rule, and his efforts were also aimed at the centralization of the monarchy.

    In Britain and France, the political situation changed suddenly, and a marriage was announced.

    Except for the joy of the Portuguese, the surrounding countries are all facing enemies.  The King of Spain even mobilized a large number of troops on the border, and at the same time let the fleet cruise around the clock, for fear that Britain and France would suddenly attack together.

 Text 939 [How many tens of thousands of Han people are there in Mexico?  】

    ,

    Let's go back in time for a while, back when Charles II was still in Chittagong, Li Quan had sailed to America for the second time.

    Let's read a poem first:

    it's here,

    Spain and China combined,

    Italy combined with Japan, finally

    The world's trade and order are also combined.

    Here, we enjoy the first-class treasures of the West;

    Here we get the essence of all the splendor created by the East.

    This poem is called "The Greatness of Mexico". The author is the Spanish poet Balbuena. It was written in 1604 AD, which is the 32nd year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty.

    It describes Mexico City. Due to the insufficient population of Spanish colonists, Chinese, Japanese, and Italians came to Mexico to integrate into the colonial system.

    As early as the reign of Chongzhen, the number of Asian immigrants in Mexico had exceeded 100,000, which is official statistics from Spain.  They are mainly Fujianese, Filipino overseas Chinese, Filipino aborigines and Japanese, but when they arrive in Mexico, they are collectively called Chinese (chinos).

    "Chinese" basically lived in the Port of Acapulco, and then gradually spread to Mexico City.

    The natives of the Philippines were mainly servants and the henchmen of the Spanish colonists.

    The Japanese were responsible for protecting the trade route, the overland route from the port of Acapulco to Mexico City.  They are allowed to wear weapons and are hired by officials or caravans. To put it bluntly, they are a group of escorts.

    The occupations of the Chinese are varied, such as tailors, shoemakers, butchers, musicians, clerks, embroidery workers and some people made a fortune and gradually started to do business.  There was even Chinese goldsmithing, an industry dominated by Europeans, which once aroused the concern of the Governor of Mexico.

    In the early years of Chongzhen, a Dominican missionary said with emotion: "The Chinese became Christians, and they poured into (Mexico) every year. They completely defeated the Spaniards in that industry."

    This phenomenon became more and more rare after Zhao Han recovered Fujian.

    After the Datong Army occupied Luzon Island, no Chinese immigrated to the Americas anymore, because they didn't have to travel thousands of miles to find a living.

    Puerto Banderas (Vallarta).

    The arrival of Li Quan's fleet again immediately caused a sensation in the town.

    Many well-informed businessmen have been waiting here a month in advance.  Those who heard the news were also moved by Mexican colonial officials, as well as the Mexican fleet!

    Before entering the port, the Mexican fleet surrounded it.

    The other party sent an envoy to come to Li Quan's boat in a small boat, and said aggressively: "Leave here immediately. No ship from any country is allowed to dock without the king's order!"

    Li Quan sneered: "I can leave, but after I leave, there is no Philippine galleon that can come to Mexico from Asia. Luzon Island, Taiwan Island, and the Ryukyu Islands are all Chinese territories, and there is also a galleon trade there."  The Kuroshio zone. The Chinese navy controls the Kuroshio waters, and no ship can pass through!"

    As he spoke, Li Quan deliberately used Spanish and ordered his deputy: "Turn south and go back to Luzon. No one will do business in the future!"

    Seeing the collective turn of the Chinese fleet, the Spanish envoy was dumbfounded.

    In fact, Mexico has received a letter from the Governor of the Philippines.  The governor of the Philippines told the governor of Mexico that if the Chinese merchant ships were refused, the galleon trade would be over, and he could not make decisions about it.

    The Governor of Mexico did not report to the king, but called the colonial officials to discuss, and everyone agreed not to interfere for the time being.

    As for the naval envoy in front of him, he came here purely to take advantage of him.  He wanted to use force to intimidate Li Quan to pay more for the road, but Li Quan would leave without saying a word.

    "Everyone, please wait a moment." The envoy quickly stopped.

    This guy rowed the boat back to report, and the fleet commander went ashore immediately to discuss countermeasures with the colonial officials.

    Soon, Li Quan was invited to disembark.

    After repeated bargaining, the two parties finally decided as follows: officials from the New Spain Governor's District (Mexico, Central America), officials from the New Spain Fleet, and Li Quan's fleet formed a cargo auction committee.  After the Chinese merchant ships docked, they conducted centralized auctions, and 10% of the total auction price was used as tariffs (bribes).

    As for these bribes, the Spaniards will distribute them themselves, and they will definitely not enter the king's pocket anyway.

    In addition, a berthing tax will be charged to the Chinese fleet, which is calculated according to the size of the vessel and the berthing time.

    Smuggling is "legalized" in this way, and everyone can make money, except Spain.On the way, while following the Spanish fleet and merchant ships, Li Quan made one ship pretend to be stranded, and then the whole fleet stopped.

    After the other boats left, he let people row the boat, transport the goods to the shore, and sell them to Wu Chunlin and Chen Fusheng.  This transaction can be regarded as smuggling within smuggling.

    Came to Hawaii on the way Well, Tanzhou, nothing major happened here, and a dozen or so mixed-race children were added.

    Half of the staff who stayed in Tanzhou were replaced, but the wife stayed here because she would come back next year.  Those who had children simply stopped leaving and asked Li Quan to pick up their wives in China.

    They think Tanzhou is very good, with a pleasant climate, fertile land, wives, concubines and children, and they can get supplies every year.

    Passing through Tanzhou this time, Li Quan also transported some sandalwood, which can be sold at a high price when he returns to China.

    In another time and space, the sandalwood in Hawaii was cut down because it was popular in the Chinese market.

    Of course, Li Quan's biggest gain from this trip is knowing that there have been Chinese in America for a long time, and the number reached tens of thousands.  This is more convenient than immigrating from scratch.

    ,

    "Awaixi (Hawaii), alias Santoku (sandwich), commonly known as Honolulu." - Qing, "Wuzhou Tukao", author unknown.

    This is the record of Hawaii in the Qing Dynasty. The reason why this place is famous is because of its special sandalwood, which is directly smashed into the price of cabbage in Guangzhou.

    During the Ming and Qing dynasties, there was a great demand for sandalwood.

    The United Kingdom has a trade deficit every year, not only turning its attention to opium, but also to sandalwood from Southeast Asia.  In order to provide sandalwood to the Chinese market and earn huge profits, the colonists used up all the sandalwood in Southeast Asia.

    So, the British thought of Hawaii, where sandalwood is everywhere!

    The king of Hawaii found that sandalwood was valuable, so he moved his capital directly to Honolulu Island, which has the most sandalwood.  By selling sandalwood, the king built a palace, enjoyed a luxurious life, bought firearms and warships, and even dreamed of unifying the Pacific Ocean.

    The king forbids civilians from mining, all sandalwood belongs to the royal family, and 40% of the profits are donated to the chiefs of the islands to encourage those chiefs to harvest sandalwood.

    All the civilians and slaves in the Hawaiian islands joined the tree-cutting team, and those who did not cut down the trees planted saplings. The fields gradually became barren, and finally a great famine was caused.  The king felt something was wrong and ordered the people to plant food again, but he died the next year.

    The new king came to the throne, bewitched by the chiefs, and fell sandalwood again.  In the end, the sandalwood on the island was cut off, and countless people starved to death. Due to the huge amount of logging, the oversupply caused the price to plummet.

    The British businessman at that time described it like this: "Sandalwood is worthless in Guangzhou. Even if it is given to you for free, don't touch it."

    It's okay now, with Zhao Han opening the sea, the price of sandalwood is neither high nor low, and you can make a small profit by shipping it back.

    The most popular in the Chinese market is Guanxiang, also known as Tuchenxiang, among which the best one is called Nuuxiang.  It is mostly produced in Guangdong, Guangxi and Hainan, especially the one produced in Dongguan.  Of course, the price is relatively cheap.

    Agarwood, sandalwood, and musk are even more expensive, and at least only the wealthy families can afford them.

    The batch of sandalwood that Li Quan shipped back, because the purchase cost was extremely low, the profit was probably 1000%.  The volume of cargo was small, and I didn't make much money, because there were still American goods in the cargo hold.

    Most of the cargo on the ship is fur, and there is also a large amount of sucrose, and copper ingots are used to ballast the bilge.

    In addition, there are 30,000 taels of silver, and American merchants like to pay with silver.

    At this time, China's gold-silver ratio has increased from 1:4 in the early Ming Dynasty to 1:10 year by year.  On the other side of the Americas, the gold-silver ratio is 1:15.5, and you can get the difference between the gold and silver prices. There are many businessmen in the Philippines doing this.

    This behavior led to a large inflow of silver, while gold continued to flow out of China.

    The Datong court had nothing to do about it, because gold was prohibited as currency, and the legal tender was only silver dollars and copper coins.  Then China's gold can only be used for luxury goods, and domestic businessmen are willing to exchange gold for silver.

    With the prosperity of sea trade, silver and copper ingots continued to be imported, and more and more merchants no longer buried silver in cellars, inflation had already appeared in coastal areas, and quickly spread to the inland along the river.

    The price of rice in Nanjing has risen to six cents per catty, which has nothing to do with grain production, it is purely a depreciation of currency.

    The price of rice in Nanjing this year is very likely to rise to seven cents per catty!

    The common people are complaining about this, the workers in the factory are clamoring for a salary increase, and even the taxi fare for taking the sliders has also increased.

    Another minister suggested to Zhao Han, should the salaries of officials be raised accordingly?

    The issue of the salary of civil servants has not been discussed for the time being, and it will not be too late to increase it in a few years.  The imperial court has made a decision to start issuing gold coins next year. At that time, the legal currency value will be 1 gold dollar = 15 silver dollars, and 1 silver dollar = 800 copper coins.  In doing so, it may be possible to reduce the outflow of gold, provided that private private casting is severely cracked down on.

    Li Quan dispersed the goods in Manila, bought Nanyang goods, and shipped them all the way to Shanghai for sale.  Even the silver and copper ingots on the ship were sold to the Datong Bank in Manila, in exchange for silver dollar drafts, which could be purchased in Shanghai, and the vacated cabins had to be loaded.

    Arriving in Shanghai, Li Quan discovered that merchant ships were being auctioned here.

    However, many maritime merchants could not pay the fines, their capital chain was broken, and they were forced to auction by the government.

    Li Quan was overjoyed, and won two boats in one go, increasing the size of the fleet to eight large boats.

    "Fugui car, take the rich car! Where is Xianggong going, do you want to take the rich car?"

    "Fugui's car is not good, buttocks, my husband should take a slider."

    "Fugui car does not bump its buttocks, it is very comfortable."

    ""

    Li Quan is planning to enter the city, at the pierAt this time, twenty years ago, people were exhausted and hungry.  These days, as long as you work hard, you can save money every month.  The eldest of my sons is about to graduate from elementary school.  If he is admitted as a public-funded student, let him go to middle school.  If you can't pass the public examination, you will become an apprentice.  If he can make money, life will be easier.  "

    "Then you just wait to enjoy the blessing, haha." Li Quan also laughed.

    But the coachman said: "I am not blessed with life. If I can be free from illness and disaster, I will be thankful to be able to pull the cart until I am fifty years old. Thanks to the Lord Long Live, we poor people can also work hard to make money. In the past, even if we wanted to work hard, we would not be able to sell well."  The price. The neighbors in this neighborhood say that it is good that the Long Live Lord can live for 10,000 years, and it is not good to change it to other emperors, and they are always in fear when they work."

    Li Quan said with emotion: "It's such a reason."

    The better the life of the people, the less willing to travel to America with him.  Even if life is difficult, Taiwan and Nanyang are the first choice. Who the hell would go to that shitty place in America?

    ,

    In order to absorb shock and reduce wheel wear, ancient carriages often wrapped straw and other things on the wheels.

    In today's carriages and wealthy carriages, the so-called tires have similar functions.  Straw is too rough, and cloth and leather are too expensive, so sisal is woven into car tires and covered with a layer of steel wheels.  The shock absorption effect is negligible, mainly to prevent the steel rim from directly rubbing against the ground.

    ? At the beginning, ramie was used, which has poor wear resistance, and it took several times to change to sisal.

    Of course, there are also a few vehicles that wrap a layer of wooden wheels on the outer layer of steel wheels, but the production cost is much higher than that of using sisal.  And it is very easy to fall off, and it is troublesome to repair if it falls off. It is not as convenient to replace the outer layer of sisal.

    Sisal tires are very thickly woven, otherwise they would not cost nearly a hundred cash.

    The bicycle that Zhao Han asked the craftsmen to make had already been made.  In the circle of rich kids, it was popular for a while, and then no one cares about it, because there is no merit to speak of, it is purely a new plaything for the pursuit of fashion.

    In today's China, the folk invention center is not in Nanjing, but in Suzhou and Guangzhou.

    The counterfeit product center is in Hangzhou. Whenever a new product appears in Suzhou, as long as it can make money, Hangzhou merchants and craftsmen will imitate it in minutes.

    More than 60% of patent lawsuits in the country are either filed in Suzhou or Hangzhou.  The commercial lawyers in the two places are not only numerous, but also more and more professional. They have already thoroughly understood the "Datong Commercial Law" and "Datong Patent Law".

    At this time in Suzhou, there were a group of rich sons who graduated from middle school or university and were too lazy to become officials.

    The inventions of Suzhou craftsmen basically have practical value.  But these rich kids from Suzhou have all kinds of strange inventions, and most of them are useless.

    When Li Quan was riding in a rickshaw, in a private garden somewhere in Suzhou, an outrageous inspection of invention results was being carried out.

    A Javanese slave bought from Nanyang sat tremblingly on the bench.  Opposite him are more than a dozen wealthy sons from Suzhou, surrounded by a huge wooden box.

    There is a small hole at the front of the wooden box, and the slave is projected in through the small hole, and reflected to the frosted glass above through the 45-degree upwardly inclined mirror.  The inventor of this object, a son named Gu Huansheng, covered the frosted glass with translucent white paper, covered his head with a black cloth, and used a charcoal pencil to outline the image of the frosted glass.

    It took about half an hour, and the portrait of the slave came alive on the paper.

    "This thing is done," Gu Huansheng said while holding the portrait he had just created, pointing to the wooden box, "I will call this invention a portrait machine!"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    The other sons laughed loudly when they heard the words, and then began to mock.

    "Brother Gu is a great talent, but he also invented something useless."

    "This machine is really good. The portraits it draws seem to be no weaker than Western sketches. It's just that Western sketches don't need your big machine, and it doesn't take so long."

    "Not bad, not bad, brother Gu really has the style of my generation, and none of the various inventions are useful."

    ""

    Although these young masters ridiculed all kinds of things, they were very interested in this thing.

    Poor Javanese slave, sitting on the bench and not moving.  Brothers took turns to experience the portrait machine, especially those who don't know how to draw, and they were even more excited after drawing the portrait.

    Such an inconspicuous invention already has the basic principle of a camera.

    In the evening, the slave with backache was sent back to eat and rest.  These princes and buddies invited them to eat, drink and play, and finally even moved the portrait camera to Taihu Lake, and paid famous prostitutes to act as models without moving.

    In the painting boat, push the cup and change the cup.

    Cui Yan, a famous courtesan, is a rare Han girl nowadays. Her own mother was a prostitute.  After going back and forth, she became a famous prostitute, and was quite sought after by gentry and merchants.

    "Mr. Gu invented this thing, which is really amazing. I don't have any drawing skills, and I can pick up charcoal to draw." Cui Yan said flattering words while pouring wine.

    The rich man next to him named Li Minzhong laughed loudly: "Miss Cui is scolding people. We people only invent useless things. Those so-called useful things can be invented by craftsmen. You said Brother Gu's  To make an invention useful is to regard him as a craftsman."

    "Yes, yes, three glasses of wine!" Everyone booed immediately.

    "Little girl said something wrong, she should drink as a punishment," Cui Yan drank three cups in a row, and then said, "The inventions of you gentlemen may be useless today, and it is unknown if they will become famous in a hundred years."

    "Hahaha, I'm afraid it will make the world laugh." Everyone shouted again.?"Actually, I am also studying Maoci. Two months ago, I went to Yang's library to borrow idle books, and I borrowed a copy of Jin Dynasty's "Natural History".  , There are those who comb and untangle with light, and there are also crackling sounds. Isn’t this the shell magnet? Since it is magnetism, why does it have light? And there is a crackling sound?”

    "Of course," Li Minzhong patted the table, "I took off my clothes at night, and I also found a faint light, and heard the sound of barking."

    Gu Huansheng clapped his hands and said: "This magnetism is what your Majesty called static electricity. Both lightning and static electricity have electric light. The sound of static electricity is like the thunder of lightning in the sky."

    The understanding seems to be correct, but it seems a bit outrageous. They regard thunder as the sound of lightning.

    Cheng Jingming said in admiration: "Your Majesty is the one who knows everything from birth. It's a pity that the gang of Qintianyuan's wine bags and rice bags, His Majesty has clearly pointed out what kind of magnetism they are still insisting on. The magnetism of the fart is obviously static electricity.  !"

    Gu Huansheng said: "From now on, I will study static electricity and lightning instead, and I must make electricity myself. Then the electricity will drive the machine, and the electricity will be used to make the portrait machine draw pictures!"

    "Count me in!" Li Minzhong said with a smile.

    However, Cheng Jingming shook his head and said, "Staying in Suzhou is not very interesting. I want to go out to sea to see it. I heard from overseas returnees that there are strange things outside the four seas. I feel itchy in my heart. Who wants to go out to sea together?"

    "I won't go." Everyone refused.

    Cheng Jingming said: "If you don't go, I will go by myself. "Datong Monthly" said that His Majesty funded a scholar to form a Four Seas Trading Company. He returned home safely from the Americas last year and discovered the Tanzhou Islands on the way. I will go  What is the name of the scholar who took refuge in you?"

    A group of technical geeks shook their heads, they were not interested in this, and of course they couldn't remember Li Quan's name.

 Text 942【Ideological upheaval in North Korea】

    ,

    Not only China's social and cultural thinking is changing, Japan and North Korea are also brewing changes.

    ?North Korea has been unable to close its doors, and Japan is engaged in a smuggling trade along the coast, and Chinese books will inevitably spread to the past.

    Hanyang (Seoul, North Korea).

    A group of people gathered in the secret room, they were silent and excited, as if they were waiting for something collectively.

    The so-called middle-class people are the children of scholar-bureaucrats and good concubines.  They were restricted from imperial examinations. Although they could be military officers, they could only be middle and low-level military officers.  This is a huge group. The nobles give birth to a large number of concubine sons every year, and the concubine sons have their offspring born every year, but they will always be middle-class people who cannot take the college entrance examination.

    They do not achieve high or low, and their wealth and status are superior to those of their lovers, but their lovers can still pass the imperial examination and have a slim chance of becoming a nobleman.  And these middle-level people, no matter how good and hard-working they are, they will at most become middle-level military officers in their lifetime.

    When the imperial examinations were introduced to North Korea, there were changes. One was the major (can be used as a civil official), the second was the minor (students and Jinshi), the third was the martial arts, and the fourth was the miscellaneous (technical officials).

    The aristocratic class firmly controls the major subjects and martial arts, and at the same time sets restrictions on the minor subjects, and then completely despises officials of miscellaneous subjects.

    In order to monopolize power, the aristocratic class holds other trials from time to time, which is the Enke on the Chinese side.  When conscientious, the notice is issued one month in advance; when the mind is insane, the notice is only issued four or five days in advance.  When the ordinary scholars learned that the Enke was going to be held, the exams were already over.

    Even if you are a good person and a village official, if you want to take the student examination, you have to ask two classes of nobles as guarantees, otherwise you will not even be eligible to take the student examination.

    Now, North Korea is reforming the tax system again, and this has resulted in such things as sharing the income of the people.

    The nobles and gentry classes have fierce conflicts with the royal family.  The aristocrats are separated from the beloved (civilian) class, the middlemen are attached to the nobles and are dissatisfied, and at the same time the middlemen are completely separated from the beloved.

    Under the three classes of nobility, middle class, and good people, there is also a class of untouchables.

    Even children born to nobles and lowly concubines still belonged to the untouchables, and they were not allowed to call their fathers "Dad", only allowed to call their fathers "Sir".  (Male untouchables, if they come from a good family, can take the military officer and technical officer exams, and they will be promoted to the middle class after passing the exam.)

    "Yeah!"

    The old door opened with a tooth-piercing sound.

    A middle-aged young man named Liu Shunqing sneaked in like a thief, quickly closed the door, and took out a stack of books from his arms.

    All the people in the room lighted the lamps and sat down around the table.

    Liu Shunqing put the books on the table and said with a smile: "The Chinese merchants arrived in Hong Kong yesterday, and I quietly bought these books this morning. There are six issues of "Datong Monthly", and several issues of "Historical Journal",  "Journal of Ancient Characters", "Journal of Physics", "Journal of Mathematics" the most difficult thing to do is this, hehe, "Collected Works of Qianchu."

    Chen Que, the beginning of the character.

    ? Chen Que proposed that to study knowledge and to benefit the people, the four should be integrated into one.  This is a heretical theory in North Korea, and North Korea's dispute over qi and qi has already played out the dog's brains, so how can they accept the integration of qi, xin and xing.

    After Chen Que was promoted to be the prince's teacher, someone spread his theory to North Korea, which immediately caused a huge response, and the king of North Korea quickly banned the spread.

    This set of theories not only adds the word "mind" after "Qi Li", but also involves the great emancipation of Song and Ming Neo Confucianism.  It is a moving and changing Neo-Confucian thought, and it is also a secular and scientific Neo-Confucian thought. It emphasizes that the principles follow the movement of the Qi, and the Qi is constantly in motion.  based on the ideological basis.

    The Chinese children in the room were not in the mood to read all kinds of newspapers and magazines, and only asked Liu Shunqing to recite the contents of "Collected Works of Qianchu".

    Liu Shunqing quickly turned to the core theory chapter: "Qi is the foundation of things. Reason is the law of things. Mind is the body of knowing. Sex is the use of knowing. The four are united, and the way of heaven is self-evident  "

    Liu Shunqing seemed to be afraid that the walls have ears, and her voice was very soft when reading articles.  At the same time, the speed is also very slow, because other young people are copying with pens.

    After reading the general outline, it is time to explain it in detail.

    Tai Chi generates Yin and Yang, and evolves everything in the world.  Qi is the material basis, reason is the rules and ethics, the heart is the perception of conscience, and sex is the pursuit of desire.  Cognizant with the heart, with nature as the driving force, with qi as the foundation, with reason as the yardstick, to know the world, to understand the world, to transform the world, the four must be in harmony and unity, in order to become a real gentleman.

    A more detailed exposition, as well as an explanation of Zhao Hange's position theory, as well as a deconstruction of traditional Confucianism and current scientific research.

    The article is not long, Liu Shunqing read it over and over again.This is true, but there is more to the following.  The second concubine born to the first wife has the same name.  And according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty" and the "Five Rituals of the Kingdom of Korea" in North Korea, regardless of the eldest son or the second son, the mother can only serve the mourning for the year!  "

    "You are so courageous, now it is the Datong Dynasty, and you are still talking about the "Law of the Ming Dynasty"!" Yin Kai couldn't say it, so he started to criticize.

    Song Shilie said: "The Law of the Great Ming Dynasty and the Law of Great Harmony have not changed much in terms of mourning clothes. Even if there are changes, they will become more and more simple, and will never be changed back to the three-year period!"

    The Western People's Party and the Southern People's Party joined in this ceremony one after another.

    As for the new king and the queen mother, they left them alone.  This battle lasted for more than three months, and finally ended with the victory of the Western People's Party, and the Southern People's Party was almost completely deprived of important positions.

    Li Wei, the new king of North Korea who is less than twenty years old, has witnessed the whole party struggle, and he already hates the Western People's Party in his heart.

    Although Song Shilie won the great ceremony, the sentence "the second wife born to the first wife has the same name as the concubine", which is equivalent to saying that Li Wei's father is the concubine, and the new king Li Wei is the descendant of the concubine!

    After he succeeded the king in a serious manner, his buttocks were still hot, and after he became a bastard for no reason, could Li Wei not feel uncomfortable?

    But King Li Wei didn't dare to act rashly, because the Western People's Party was too powerful, and he had to recruit more forces to attack.

    At this time, some people want to overturn the results of the reform and turn the per capita income into a poll tax again.  At the same time, the Western People's Party began to split, and fierce discussions were launched on whether to take back Baozhou and whether to maintain a large army.

    ?The Minister of the Western People's Party, who is in control of power, suggested maintaining the status quo, acquiescing that Baozhou was occupied by China, and at the same time disbanded the expanded army of the old king.  They are called the Los Party.

    The officials of the Western People's Party who are not in power suggest that they continue to maintain the army and take Baozhou back from China.  In fact, it was to encourage the king to fight, but he didn't dare to fight. He just tried to seize power under the banner of regaining lost ground.  They are called the original party.

    King Li Wei gradually leaned towards the original party and maintained the army to claim Baozhou.  This fellow also did not dare to go to war with China, but also under the banner of regaining lost ground, he wanted to suppress the Luo Party who was in power.

    Ever since, North Korea, which already had too many troops, once again expanded its army by 3,000 and clamored for the Northern Expedition.

    When the court was in fierce struggle, "Qianchu Anthology" spread rapidly among the people.  Those middlemen, scholars and local officials in North Korea became loyal supporters of this theory.  "Da Tong Ji" is also disseminated, but only one piece on the theory of lattice is transmitted, and the rest of the content is deliberately controlled.

    At the same time, the atmosphere in the Korean literary world was also changing.

    In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, "Jiangnan Literature", also known as "West Lake Graphics", was popular in North Korea.

    ? At first, during the Jiajing period, Tian Rucheng's "West Lake Tour Chronicles" spread to North Korea and quickly became a popular book.  Korean literati envied the prosperity of Hangzhou. According to the records of "West Lake Tourist Records", they drew various scenic spots in Hangzhou based on their imagination.  And around these pictures, create poems, prose, and even novels.

    Then they praised the entire Jiangnan area. In the eyes of these Korean literati, Jiangnan in China, especially Hangzhou, is a perfect paradise on earth.  Everyone has a Jiangnan dream, and everyone has a West Lake dream. If you have the opportunity, you must visit Hangzhou in your life.

    Now, with the establishment of the Datong New Dynasty, a small number of Korean students studying abroad wrote articles praising Nanjing after returning home.  The Jiangnan dream soon turned into a Jinling dream. Korean literati began to create pictures of Nanjing, drawing Xuanwu Lake, Zhongshan Temple and other scenic spots, and then created literary works based on the pictures.  It is called Jinling Literature.

    With the popularity of Jinling literature, the import of Chinese goods, and the spread of new ideas, the dissatisfaction brewing in the hearts of certain classes of literati in North Korea became more and more intense.

    ? Especially the local gentry, who have been divided into their mu, have long resented the political reform and hated the two groups of nobles for controlling the government, but they have gradually accepted ideas such as the theory of personality.  In their understanding, they are equal to the nobles in personality, and they can and must have room for improvement.  As for the common people, what should they do?

    Above me, everyone is equal.  Below me, the class is distinct!

    In this way, the middlemen, scholars, gentry, and country officials in North Korea gradually moved towards a great unity of thought.

    ,

    Nanjing.

    Liu Shunqing tremblingly walked into the palace wall, followed the female officials and guards, and walked through the huge Forbidden City.

    He has become the spiritual leader of the Chinese people, and there is another leader with real power.  The real leader is called An Jingyuan, with three hundred troops, and is stationed outside Hanyang City.

    The two had already agreed that if the act of righteousness was successful, they would join hands to support the new king.  At that time, all the country's thieves will be punished, and the court will be exchanged for blood. Liu Shunqing will be the first minister of the literary class, and An Jingyuan will be the first minister of the martial arts class.

    After Liu Shunqing arranged the domestic missionary affairs, he quietly left North Korea by boat.

    He did not have the status of a diplomatic envoy, so he could not meet the emperor smoothly.  So he ran to Honglu Temple and reported that the king of North Korea wanted to rebel and was actively expanding his army to prepare for the Northern Expedition.

    Honglu Temple did not dare to neglect, and reported it to the emperor immediately.

    Finally arrived at the Hall of Yingmin, Liu Shunqing prostrated himself on the ground from a long distance: "Liu Shunqing, a grassroots citizen of North Korea, long live His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven!"

    Zhao Han said: "Be flat, give me a seat."

    Liu Shunqing was brought to the emperor and sat down. He was so courteously treated that he was so moved that he wanted to cry.

    Zhao Han asked: "The North Korean envoy left only last month, and I have already condemned the envoy to accompany him, and formally canonized the new North Korean king. Why does the North Korean king still want to rebel?"

    Liu Shunqing said: "The former king of Joseon was expanding his army to prepare for war. Now the new king has expanded his army by another three thousand. The court's monarchs and officials all wanted to recover Baozhou, and they clamored for the so-called Northern Expedition all day long. Back then, it was the army of the Celestial Dynasty who ravaged North Korea.  Only by stationing in Baozhou can the peace of the Korean people be kept. The Celestial Dynasty has shown us a kindness for rebuilding Korea. Baozhou should be dedicated to the Celestial Dynasty. Today’s Korean monarchs and ministers do not think of the mighty kindness of the emperor. They even try to raise troops in vain.  !"

    "The kings and ministers of North Korea really want to take back Baozhou?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

    "Of course!" Liu Shunqing said decisively.

    Zhao Han didn't believe such nonsense, lent ten thousand courage to North Korea's monarchs and ministers, none of them dared to really start a war with China.  The so-called Northern Expedition was nothing but a cover for a power struggle.

    Of course, even if it's a pretense, it must be condemned!

    Zhao Han ordered: "Send a fast boat to chase after the canonized envoys, don't give the king's golden seal, instead reprimand the Korean monarchs and ministers for being disrespectful. If this matter is not explained clearly, the Celestial Dynasty will not canonize the North Korean king again!"

    Liu Shunqing was a little disappointed that China did not send troops, but she still flattered: "Your Majesty is wise!"

    Zhao Han said: "You came from thousands of miles to report the letter. I think you must be a loyal man, and you will be given a brocade robe. You can stay in Nanjing for a while, or you can go to Jinling University to study. All study fees are free."

    This is cultivating the leading party.

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Liu Shunqing was overjoyed.

    If he can get a graduation certificate from Jinling University and make friends with great Chinese Confucians, he will definitely be a master of Confucianism after returning to China, and he will gain unparalleled scholarly prestige.

    However, it is said that the canonized envoys were caught up, and the envoys kept their faces and continued to sail forward with North Korean officials.

    When they arrived in Hanyang, the king of Joseon was arresting people everywhere.

    Those North Korean rebels knew to keep it secret at the beginning, but more and more people from all walks of life are connected in series, and it is inevitable that people will leak information.

    After the plan was made public, the North Korean monarchs and ministers were furious, regardless of which party, the two groups of nobles joined forces to suppress it.  They are fighting to the death by themselves. It is a matter that belongs to the nobles, and other classes are not allowed to mess with it.

    As the chaotic party caught more and more, the two classes of nobles were very embarrassed.

    Because most of the rebellious parties who jumped the most were the sons of the two classes of nobles.  Some bloodlines are far away, but they basically didn’t make the fifth server, and even if they did, they still have close ties with the main family—this kind of middle-class group has the most embarrassing status.  On the edge, he broke his head and wanted to enter the inner circle, but was firmly suppressed by the nobles and could not rise.

    "All houses were ransacked and beheaded!"

    "You can't ransack all the houses, you just have to kill the culprit."

    "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished if they get it, and no one will be allowed to escape!"

    "There are too many entanglements, which may lead to great changes."

    "What big changes can be made? All beheads!"

    ""

    How to deal with the chaotic party, the two groups of nobles themselves quarreled.

    With the prosperity of trade between China and North Korea, many concubine families are business agents of nobles.  Most of these concubine families are normal, and not all of them participated in it, only a few rebellious sons planned to make trouble quietly.

    Kill them all, who will do business to make money?

    Moreover, several major factions blame each other, saying that the other partyWu Wu could only watch them leave Hanyang City.

    Li Wei was almost paralyzed by fright, looking left and right and said: "What can I do? What can I do?"

    Song Shilie shouted: "Punish the original party, they are the ones who made a noise about the Northern Expedition!"

    "Yes, kill the original party and send his head to Nanjing to apologize!"

    "The original party should be punished, in order to thank the people of the country!"

    ""

    It's started again, it's started again, and it's still playing party battles.

    Of course, the former party officials would not sit still, they also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is easy to kill us. But if we are killed and our heads are sent to Nanjing, won't it be confirmed that our country wants to launch a northern expedition? This is a serious crime of treason!"  "

    Li Wei was stunned for a moment, and the other ministers couldn't refute, because what he said was so reasonable.

    Song Shilie also said: "The original party may not be killed, but it must be punished for the crime of bewitching the emperor. Please, Your Majesty, expel these original parties from the court, and they will never be used in this life!"

    "Please expel the original party!"

    One minister after another knelt down.

    Li Wei originally planned to use the original party to suppress the faction in power in the court.

    But this kind of scene, Li Wei couldn't hold back at all, and said with hatred: "Zhu, Zhu, I will expel all the original party according to your wishes! But what should we do when the army of the Celestial Dynasty comes?"

    No one answers, no one can answer

 Text 944 [Monarch and ministers running away]

    ,

    The cabinet ministers have always opposed military expansion, and Zhao Han always agreed to it for the sake of finances.  But as the territory continues to grow, the number of troops will inevitably continue to increase.

    There are 18 infantry divisions, each with 12,000 troops.  Among them, there are 10,000 soldiers, and the remaining 2,000 belong to civilians, engineers, and logistics personnel.  The civilian husbands recruited temporarily are only responsible for transporting food and grass, while the regular engineers and logistics soldiers have corresponding professional qualities.  For example, gunpowder, artillery shells, ten thousand enemies, etc., will not be handed over to civilian husbands for escort.  Even if the moat is to be filled, the engineers and soldiers lead the civilian workers to do things, and the efficiency is much higher than that of the pure civilian workers.

    There are 5 cavalry divisions, each with 15,000 troops.  Among them, there are 12,000 soldiers, and the remaining 3,000 are all civilians and logistics, cooks, doctors, veterinarians, art troupes, horseshoes, and saddle repairers.  And the 12,000 soldiers, after several adjustments, are not all cavalry, but also chariot soldiers and artillery units. The chariot soldiers can lead the army and civilians to form a chariot formation.

    There are cavalry in the infantry division, and infantry in the cavalry division, and both have artillery, all of which belong to multi-arms coordinated forces.  As for what to call it, it depends on whether it is mainly infantry or cavalry. The major cavalry divisions are all piled up on the northern border.

    This is no longer a division, but a corps.

    At this time in Europe, a mixed army of three or four thousand people can be named a certain legion.

    The original coast guard was all incorporated into the patrol system.  The existence of this kind of armed police force has reached 270,000 people nationwide.

    In addition, there are 5,000 imperial city guards.

    Luzon has 3,000 troops stationed in Datong, 1,000 troops in Baozhou, and 500 troops in Yecheng, Palembang, Malacca, Pattani, Yangon, Nihai (Bangkok), and Chittagong (the 500 troops in Bintong Longna have been abolished).

    Therefore, counting the inspectors and armed police forces, the total strength of the army at home and abroad is more than 570,000.

    If you count the urban police force, it will be even more terrifying, not to mention the peasant and soldier reserves in the countryside.

    The envoy Dang Chongjun returned from North Korea, and the court immediately ordered preparations for war.

    The troops stationed in Shanghai plan to dispatch 6,000 soldiers, all the artillery will be brought, and the cavalry will stay at home until the summer storm period is over.

    The military rations were not prepared much, and the civilians were not recruited. Only the regular logistics soldiers and the navy were responsible.  From Shanghai to Hanyang by boat, they all took the sea route back and forth, and mainly used intimidation. They really didn't plan to go deep into the mountains of North Korea to fight.

    With frequent summer storms, the Navy has been waiting for the weather.

    However, the monarchs and ministers of North Korea were worried that the Datong army would kill them, and at the same time kept busy with the cause of party struggle with a bit of luck.

    A young man named Park Se-chae in the Western People's Party publicly declared: "Although a chaotic party is hateful, the new ideas of the Celestial Dynasty should also be used for reference. Although it is not in line with Zhu Zi's righteousness for the Chinese emperor to rule the "Da Tong Ji" to rule the world, it is  It also has its essence. I, the Korean Confucian scholars, should discard the chaff and keep the essence of the academics of the Celestial Dynasty. First of all, we should face up to Yangming’s theory of mind and stop denouncing the theory of mind as an evil way.”

    Song Shilie, who is also proficient in Yangming's theory of mind, immediately refuted it: "The study of nature and reason is Zhu Zizhengshuo, and the study of mind is heresy. There is a Chen in China today. It is even more leftist to talk about the unity of qi, reason and mind."  The right way among the ways!"

    Pu Shicai said: "As the stars change and the world changes, Zhu Zi's learning is naturally correct, but Confucian scholars of my generation should also keep an eye on the current situation. I have never been to Nanjing, but I have studied in Nanjing for four years.  to describe."

    Song Shilie sneered: "During the Ming Dynasty, China was orthodox and North Korea was Dongyi. Now the Datong court has tampered with Zhu Zi's sacred teachings and promoted barbarian Western learning. Today's China has changed from Xia to Yi, and North Korea has turned Yi into Xia. This  Zong Zhou's supreme principles cannot be changed lightly."

    Song Shilie wanted to maintain Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, and said that China had become a barbarian, while North Korea was the orthodox Confucianism in China.

    Park Se-chae went to Nanjing to study abroad for four years and was greatly shocked physically and mentally, so he wanted to promote the liberation of North Korea's culture and thought.

    At the beginning, the two were still academic disputes, but as officials continued to join, it quickly evolved into factional struggles.  The officials around Song Shiyeol advocated the steady implementation of the Daedong Law, which is called the old school; while the officials around Park Se-chae advocated the popularization of the Daedong Law nationwide, called the Shi School.

    ? The Daedong Law of North Korea is the reform of the tax system in North Korea. It took a hundred years to complete the promotion in history.

    In today's North Korea, although it is engaging in land transfers, those who are being executed are small local landlords.  As for the real two classes of nobles, they secretly blocked and resisted even a policy like a whip.

    The King of North Korea supported the Daedong Law, and the old school couldn't overthrow the achievements of the reform, so it wanted to delay and destroy it.  The Times faction is more complicated, some are to cater to the king, some are to revitalize North Korea, they unite to quickly spread the reform to the whole country.

    theHow many troops were sent, thinking that Zhao Han wanted to destroy North Korea directly.  So surrounded by the ministers, King Li Wei took the royal family and ran away, only taking away the palace guards, but let the other troops continue to defend the city.

    The Datong Army didn't think about destroying North Korea, so they didn't bother to surround Hanyang, and North Korea's monarchs and officials ran away easily.

    The guarding army, seeing the king and ministers running away, began to surrender one after another.

    "Is it done?"

    The commander of the army is called Jin Yanjun, who joined the Datong Army in Hunan, and has now been promoted to deputy division commander.

    His task is to intimidate the North Korean monarchs and ministers as much as possible.  Unexpectedly, after a few volleys of artillery fire, the North Korean monarchs and officials abandoned the city, and the defenders in the city also put down their weapons.

    What the hell is this?

    Jin Yanjun ordered: "Half of the soldiers will go into the city, and they must not harass the people."

    Three thousand Datong troops entered the city of Hanyang, and the Korean people were terrified. Some escaped from the north gate with their wives and belts, and most of them hid at home and shivered.

    It didn't take long to see Anmin's notice posted that the Korean monarchs and ministers conspired to rebel, and this crime had nothing to do with the Korean people.  The Holy Son of Heaven is benevolent and ordered not to hurt the people in the slightest, and everything in Hanyang City remains the same.

    Gradually, some merchants took the courage to open stores, but there were no Datong soldiers to harass them.

    Instead, it was the North Korean rebels. Some people took advantage of the chaos to rob and were caught and beheaded by the Datong army.

    All these things made the people in the city happy, and even some Korean scholars took the initiative to promote the benevolence and righteousness of the Celestial Dynasty.

    (Only one update.)

    (Today I had two wisdom teeth pulled out. The anesthesia was over, and the pain was so painful that I didn’t want to type. Moreover, Pharaoh had pharyngitis, and he would gag when there was a foreign object in his mouth. The dentist was speechless. The whole process was tragic and heroic.?

    ,

    On the day the Datong Army occupied Hanyang, the city and the city became stable.

    Due to the severe punishment of looters, the social security in Hanyang City has even improved unprecedentedly, and even petty theft has temporarily disappeared.

    "Party Ambassador, what should I do?" Jin Junyan asked.

    Dang Chongjun was also a little confused: "Wait for North Korea's monarchs and ministers, and send someone with weight to negotiate."

    The emperor's order that the two received was very simple, that is, to bite off a piece of land from North Korea, and the specific operation was up to them to decide.

    So the two made a plan to have the army bombard the city walls.  Rejecting the first three rounds of negotiations from North Korea, under the continuous shelling, you can receive the fourth round of envoys, from the lion's mouth to the landing to pay back the money, and finally extort a large piece of land.

    Dang Chongjun and Jin Junyan never imagined in their dreams that the monarchs and ministers of North Korea abandoned the city and fled!

    "Ambassador, there are North Korean businessmen asking to see you."

    "Bring him in."

    A North Korean businessman in his 40s knelt down in front of Dang Chongjun: "The grassroots of the country, Hong Daoquan, kowtow to Lord Angel!"

    Dang Chongjun said: "Get up."

    "Master Xie," Hong Daoquan stood still stooping after getting up, "The king of our country patrolled the city and sent the little people to apologize to the angel."

    Dang Chongjun became more and more speechless: "Why don't you send a minister to beg for mercy, but actually send a merchant over?"

    Hong Daoquan said: "The king sends ministers, and ministers send businessmen."

    "What does the lord of North Korea want to say?" Dang Chongjun asked.

    Hong Daoquan replied: "I don't know."

    Dang Chongjun almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. It's such a ghost situation. The king of North Korea still doesn't know what to say?

    Hong Daoquan explained: "The king and the ministers are arguing endlessly in Kaesong, and no one can come up with a charter to serve the public. The grassroots were sent here to find out what the angels said. The angels can ask for half of the land even if they ask for a price. The grassroots will be honest.  Go back and return to life."

    Dang Chongjun became more and more confused: "Which country are you a businessman, why don't you speak for North Korea?"

    Hong Daoquan replied: "Return to the angel, Caomin is Songshang."

    Next to him, a spy who had been in North Korea for a long time, walked up to Dang Chongjun and muttered: "Dang Ambassador, among the merchants in North Korea, Beijing merchants, Song merchants, and Wan merchants are the most powerful. Beijing merchants monopolize Hanyang trade, and most of them are concubines separated by nobles.  The family. Wanshang is Baozhou merchants, who trade on both sides of the Yalu River. Songshang is Kaesong merchants, spread all over North Korea, but suffered heavy suppression."

    Dang Chongjun understood, and asked with a smile, "Your heart is for China?"

    Hong Daoquan answered unabashedly: "As long as Song Shang, he always thinks about enclosing the Celestial Dynasty!"

    Kaesong was called Songyak in ancient times, and it became the capital during the Goryeo period, so it was renamed Kaijing.  The merchants in Kaesong were very prominent at that time. After the establishment of the Lee Dynasty, not only the capital was moved to Hanyang, but the imperial examinations for Kaesong scholars were banned.

    As a result, more and more people in Kaesong started business because the road to imperial examinations was cut off.  The scale of Songshang continued to grow, and "Songfang" was opened across the country, forming a business network throughout North Korea.

    The trade between China and North Korea in Datong became more and more prosperous, and North Korean monarchs and ministers once again suppressed Songshang.  The port of Kaesong was directly closed, and the goods purchased by Songshang had to be sold to Jingshang in Hanyang, and Jingshang directly traded with Chinese merchants.

    This is equivalent to Song merchants all over the country. They can only be inland suppliers, and they can't make much money after working hard.  Even to receive goods in the country, two groups of nobles have to issue licenses, and each business license must be exchanged for bribes.

    Very rich, not much land, unable to take the imperial examination, business network spread all over the country, and suffered from imperial suppression everywhere What do these Song merchants think?

    Of course I want to attach China, divide the land at will, kill all the monarchs and ministers of North Korea, and do business unimpeded in the future!

    Moreover, the children of Chinese businessmen can also take part in the imperial examination, and maybe their descendants can also be officials.

    Hong Daoquan said: "The kings and ministers of North Korea are in Kaesong at this time. There are only 1,500 firecrackers following them, and there are 500 Kaesong defenders. If the Chinese army attacks the city, the Kaesong merchants are willing to set fire to cooperate, and they will definitely be able to win in one battle!"  "

    "You step down now." Dang Chongjun said.

    After the North Korean businessman left, Dang Chongjun and Jin Junyan looked at each other.

    The behavior of the North Korean monarchs and ministers was unexpected in every way, and the merchants in Kaesong clearly wanted to lead the way, which made them completely unimaginable.

    Dang Chongjun said: "General Kim, I know what you are thinking. I also want to make contributions, but the imperial court only allowed part of the territory in the north of North Korea to be cut off, and it is impossible to swallow it all after the country is destroyed. The imperial court recovered Guangnan Province and sent troops  Although it went well, the suppression thereafternbsp;As a result, the tax was transferred to Pyongan Road, Hwanghae Road and Hamgyong Road in the north.  Those places are already poor, so they have to double their taxes, and military service is also the most common of these three.

    In the past few decades, the peasant uprising in Hamgyong Province first persisted for three months and was suppressed.  During this period, a big landlord named Li Shi'ai joined the uprising team, claiming to be a descendant of the royal family, and wanted to change the dynasty.

    Then came the peasant uprising in Hwanghae-do, led by Lin Juzheng.  This time it was even more troublesome, defeating the imperial army many times and persisting for a full year and two months.  During the period, the King of Korea was also forced to exempt Hwanghae Road and Pingan Road for one year to prevent more farmers from joining the uprising.

    However, it is said that after the North Korean monarchs and ministers fled to Xinxi, the peasants of Ping'an Road broke out.

    Ping'an Road in North Korea can be understood as Shaanxi and Shanxi in China.  Famines have continued these years, but taxes have been getting higher and higher. There is a Baozhou where the farmers live and work in peace and contentment. The farmers in Ping'an Road are envied to death.  If things go on like this, can we not rebel?

    ? At first, only a thousand peasants revolted. In just a few days, the uprising force grew to tens of thousands.  Killing the gentry and landlords, capturing the prefectures and counties, frightened the Korean border troops, and they all ran to Baozhou to ask for the protection of the Datong Army.

    Immediately afterwards, the peasants of Hwanghae Province also rebelled, and the two peasant armies attacked from the north to the south, and even defeated the city of Pyongyang.

    Then Bingfeng headed southeast, heading towards Xinxi where the King of Korea was.

    The Peasant Army has a distinct uprising slogan: "Be a citizen of the heaven, cultivate the land of the heaven, and live a good life in the heaven!"

    ?The Korean monarchs and ministers were terrified. While retreating towards Jinhua, they ordered the whole country to serve the king, and at the same time sent ministers to contact the Datong army.

    "Hamgyong Dao is not my land at all, and the people who escaped from service in the previous dynasty all belong to their land. In our Sejong Dynasty, six towns were first established, and the savages would like to rely on them for their lives."

    These words were spoken by North Korean Minister Han Hyungyun to King Lee Yi of North Korea a hundred years ago.

    ? When Zhu Yuanzhang was chasing death and chasing the north, the Koryo Dynasty also took the opportunity to expand northward, not only capturing the Yuan Dynasty's Shuangcheng Governor's Mansion, but also all the way to the territory of the Liao and Jin dynasties.  After the establishment of Lee's North Korea, they recruited and captured Jurchens across the border and went south to enrich these newly occupied territories (many of the savages Han Hengyun said were Jurchens).

    During the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Keren of the Jurchen tribe said: "Xianzhou (Xianxing) is northward, and it was the land of Liao and Jin in ancient times." He asked Zhu Di to take it back and give it to the Jurchens to multiply.

    Zhu Di did not ask North Korea for territory, but only asked North Korea to return the Jurchens under its jurisdiction to the north.  North Korea then sent great Confucianists to Beijing to dig out words with "History of Liao Dynasty" and "History of Jin Dynasty".

    This is nonsense, those place names were taken later, of course they cannot appear in the history books!

    The two sides argued endlessly, which annoyed Zhu Di so much that they had to let it go in the end.

    In another time and space, North Korea took advantage of the Qing Dynasty to evacuate the population in the Northeast, and quietly continued to expand its border to the north.  Finally, in the last years of Kangxi, he once again used sophistry and nonsense to fool the ministers of the Manchu and Qing border surveys, and completed the theft of the land south of the Tumen River.

    In other words, even in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, some land south of the Tumen River was not Korean.

    Xianjing Road, the mountain outside Huining City.

    Han Qiyuan rose up and said to hundreds of Korean and Jurchen farmers: "Do you know what the 'three-handed rice' is collected for? It was a miscellaneous tax collected by the Japanese invaders decades ago to train soldiers. Now, the Japanese pirates  We have been driven away a long time ago, even the Jianzhou Tartars are dead, but the imperial court is still asking us for 'three-handed rice'! Let's comment on whether 'three-handed rice' should be levied or not?"

    "No, no!" Hundreds of farmers roared.

    Han Qiyuan also said: "The imperial court promulgated the Datong Law and paid taxes according to the amount of rice per acre. But corrupt officials colluded with the landlords. We obviously have no land, but the taxes are counted on us. The landlords have land but do not pay the land tax. Everyone come to judge. This land tax should be paid.  Shouldn't we hand it over?"

    "No, no!"

    Farmers became increasingly angry.

    Han Qiyuan continued: "The imperial court does not allow us to collect ginseng from the mountains around Huining. We risked our lives to collect ginseng from the mountains of the Celestial Dynasty, but when we came back, we were arrested by the government and confiscated all our wild ginseng. Everyone comes to judge, corrupt officials corrupt officials  not bad?"

    "Bad, bad, bad!"

    "There was a heavy snowstorm last winter, and there was a drought this summer. The harvest in the fields is not good, the landlord has to increase the rent, and the peasants died of freezing and starvation. Is there any reason for this?"

    "No reason, no reason!"

    "I often go to the mountains of the Chinese Dynasty to collect ginseng. There are Han, Jurchen, and Korean people in the north of the river (Tumen River). No matter which ethnicity they live in, life is good. Although there are droughts and snowstorms, the Chinese government has been reducing or exempting taxes.  People reclaim wasteland, tax exemption for the first five years, and tax reduction for ten years. We are separated by a river, but our taxes are getting heavier and heavier. Are you willing to rebel against me and be the people of the Celestial Dynasty from now on?"

    "Willing, willing!"

    "Shout with me, live as a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty, die as a ghost of the Celestial Dynasty!"

    "Live as a citizen of the Celestial Dynasty, and die as a ghost of the Celestial Dynasty!"

    ""

    Han Qiyuan is not only a farmer in North Korea, but also a downline of Datong's secret work.

    The Datong court's rule over the Tumen River was very weak, where the land was vast and sparsely populated, not only were there not many Han Chinese, even the Jurchens were rare.

    Therefore, the imperial court only established a small town at the mouth of the Tumen River with 200 immigrants.  A branch office of the National Security Institute was also set up, with only a few clerks in total. If this manpower wanted to investigate the news, he had to bribe North Korean people to go offline.

    Han Qiyuan ran to China to dig ginseng and was arrested. The national security saw that he was smart and smart, so instead of fined him, he gave him the money back.

    This fellow has been in contact with Datong's fine work a lot, his ambitions have gradually expanded, and he has begun to conspire to rebel. He wants to make meritorious service and become a Chinese, and maybe he can even get a job as an official.

    The North Korean peasant army in Ping'an Road and Huanghai Road more or less has the shadow of Datong's meticulous work.

    These secret works, as well as the off-line of the secret work, are like Chinese envoys, thinking about doing great things all the time!

    Han Qiyuan didn't dare to attack Huining City directly, so he only led hundreds of peasant troops to attack the mountainous villages in the north of the city.  They killed the landlords when they saw them, and divided up the land and goods. The team gradually grew to more than 2,000 people. The surrounding landlords were so frightened that they hid in the city and mobilized the defenders in the city.You have to ship the property they looted first.

    "kill!"

    In the mountains on both sides of the river, thousands of peasant troops rushed out.

    The officers and soldiers who were halfway across were suddenly in a desperate situation, and the North Korean civil and military officials took the lead in fleeing.  Some officers, soldiers and civilian husbands also fled. At the same time, many civilian husbands took the opportunity to revolt and chased the rout soldiers all the way to kill them.

    Stripping off the armor of the officers and soldiers, Han Qiyuan's beggar soldiers finally looked like an army.

    He sent a partial division to attack Qingxing, and led an army of tens of thousands to attack Mingzhou in the south.

    In the south of Mingzhou, there is a city of Jizhou, which houses the Jizhou Protectorate.

    However, the governor of Jizhou had already taken time out of the nearby troops, and was ordered to go to the south to King Qin.  In front of Han Qiyuan, all the cities along the way were empty of troops, and there was no decent resistance at all.

    ?Pyongan Road, Hamgyong Road, Hwanghae Road, North Korea is full of beacon fire.

    The Chinese imperial court did not intervene in it, at most it was Datong's secret work, and their North Korean offline was making trouble.  But just a few small operations, and dozens of their off-lines, can turn North Korea upside down, which shows that the local social conflicts have already reached a critical point.

    ,

    The four northern generals, Xianxing Dadu, Jizhou Duhu, Huangzhou Duhu, and Haizhou Duhu, led troops to King Qin one after another, and there were no officers and soldiers in the entire northern part of Korea.

    As for the General Protector of Pyongyang, he was defeated and died.

    The monarchs and ministers of North Korea retreated in Cheorwon.  It is located at the north-south hub, which is not only convenient for defense, but also convenient for the confluence of King Qin's troops from all over the place.

    "Your Majesty, more than 6,000 troops from the capital have arrived one after another," Song Junji reported.

    Song Junji and Song Shiyeol, both the former kings of Joseon, were promoted by the Shandang (a faction of the Western People's Party) before their death.  Song Junji served as the military judge, equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of War; Song Shilie served as the official Cao judge, equivalent to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

    Li Wei finally had a sense of security: "Okay, very good, there are rewards for all of them."

    The former king expanded his army aggressively, and all the elite troops were stationed in Hanyang.  There are 1,500 Imperial Guards, 1,800 new Firearms Battalions, and 21,000 Guards in the Imperial Battalion—in history, the 1,000 firearms soldiers in the North Korean Firearms Battalion were also transferred by the Qing Dynasty to fight Cossacks, and they were more heroic than the Eight Banners Army.  , The number of enemies killed is far higher than that of the Eight Banners Army.

    When Li Wei abandoned the city and ran away, he didn't even care about the army, and only took away 1,500 imperial troops.

    Some of the rest of the army chose to surrender to the Datong Army in consideration of their families, while others fled with the officers in the chaos.  After the Qin King's Order was issued, these fleeing troops actually gathered to the king on their own initiative, and more than 6,000 people arrived one after another.

    The peasants in northern North Korea bombed at one o'clock, but the army in Gyeonggi Province in the central part was still loyal to the king.

    As for the southern part of North Korea, it is the world of two groups of nobles and gentry, you can understand it as the Jiangnan area of ??Ming Dynasty.

    Even if China wants to annex North Korean territory, it is best to only swallow the north.  Once the south-central region is annexed, there will inevitably be riots one after another, and the annual cost of garrisoning troops and fighting chaos will remain high.

    Li Wei gave Song Junji full command of the army, and the soldiers began to reorganize immediately.  There are more than 8,000 people in the central army, and more than 14,000 troops of the local King Qin, and more than 30,000 volunteers (tuanlian and civilian husbands) were recruited on the spot.

    ? Li Eun-ai, the leader of the Hwanghae-do Peasant Army, dispatched 3,000 vanguard troops, but was killed by North Korean officers and soldiers halfway.  Although the artillery of the North Korean Central Army was lost in Hanyang, the gunfire soldiers and cavalry were still there, and it was a unilateral crush when dealing with the peasant army.

    At the same time, Han Qiyuan attacked the city all the way, and the peasants in the west of Hamgyong Road were encouraged by this to rise up, and gradually formed four major resistance forces.

    ? Yuan Shoucheng of Ping'an Road led an army of more than 30,000 peasants. In addition to the support of Datong's fine work, there was also funding from Taiwanese businessmen behind him.  These Taiwanese businessmen are not satisfied with only trading on the Yalu River, and they wish China could wipe out North Korea.

    ? Li Enai of Huanghai Road led an army of more than 20,000 peasants. He also had the support of Datong's fine work, and was also supported by Songshang.

    Wan merchants and Song merchants are in a competitive relationship, and the two peasant armies are therefore hostile to each other.  If it weren't for Datong's meticulous work to communicate, the two rebel armies would most likely be fighting among themselves, and they would fight themselves without the use of North Korean officers and soldiers to quell the chaos.

    As for Xianjingdao, Han Qiyuan commanded more than 20,000 troops, and Jin Chang commanded more than 6,000 troops.  Without the support of merchants behind them, they simply couldn't survive, and they revolted under the instigation of Datong Xizuo.

    "Li Enai was defeated, and the entire vanguard army was wiped out," said Jin Yanjun, the general of the Datong Army.  chaos."

    Envoy Dang Chongjun sighed: "Those people from the National Security Council did not say hello, and they secretly made such a big deal. We can't help openly. After all, North Korea is a state, and the peasant army is a bandit."

    Jin Yanjun looked at the map of North Korea and said: "We can divide our troops to Chuncheon to prevent the Qin King's army from the south from going north, and at the same time stop the North Korean ruler from fleeing south. As long as Chuncheon is occupied, the food in the south will be very easy."  If it is difficult to transport to the north, the North Korean officers and soldiers will definitely be short of food."

    "Yes." Dang Chongjun nodded.

    Hanyang, Kaesong, and Chuncheon can all communicate by water.

    The Datong Army recruited inland ships and quickly divided up to arrive outside Chuncheon City.  King Qin's army from Chungcheong Province had just arrived in Chuncheon, and the two sides faced each other across the river without starting a war.

    With the passage of time, the Chosun King Army on the south bank of Chuncheon gradually reached more than 40,000 people, and they were all blocked by the Datong Army and unable to cross the river.

    Datong's army did not attack, and Qin Wang's army did not dare to cross the river by force.  At the same time, King Qin's army didn't dare to take a detour. Once they went to the east and took the mountain road, their grain road might be cut off by the Datong army at any time.

    Northwest of Cheorwon, by the Linjin River.

    The nearly 60,000 peasant army and more than 50,000 North Korean officers and soldiers have been confronting each other across the river for several days.

    "My lord, General Lin is here!"

    &nbspSong Junji said: "The heavenly soldiers occupy the three cities, and there will be no changes after that. They will definitely not destroy our country. They just wait and see the current situation to gain more benefits. The chaos in the north is nothing but a must.  All can be calmed down. Only Lin Qingye is the real confidant. His prestige in the army is too high, and even the court officials have his admirers, so we must not let him make great contributions!"

    Song Shilie said: "I know Lin Qingye. He has a public heart and will not form cliques to mess with the government."

    Song Junji said: "He doesn't form cliques to mess with the government, but he is a descendant of Lin Zheng, and he came from the same school as Yin Kai. We finally drove out the Nanren Party, and we must not let the Nanren Party have the opportunity to re-enter the court.  !"

    "But apart from Lin Qingye, who has the ability to lead troops to quell the chaos?" Song Shilie asked back.

    Song Junji gritted his teeth and said: "Xianjing Road is not our country's territory at all, and most of the people there are savages. There is also Ping'an Road, which is a despicable land. These two places, it is better to dedicate these two places to the Celestial Dynasty, and let the civil unrest be put down by the Celestial Soldiers.  In this way, not only solving the civil unrest, but also allowing the Celestial Empire to retreat, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”

    Song Shilie was furious: "You who sell land for glory, I am ashamed to be in the party with you. From now on, I will quit the Shandang, and I will never cede land and donate land!"

    "Lin Qingye has become a marshal, I'm afraid the North Korean rebels won't be able to hold on." Jin Junyan, the leader of the Datong Army, said worriedly.

    Dang Chongjun said with a smile: "Others can win, but Lin Qingye certainly can'tMr. Yin, please come in."

    Yin Shandao, a great Korean Confucianist and the teacher of the former king, strode to the center of the room and greeted Dang Chongjun and Jin Junyan.  He is not only the Nanren Party, but also the first Korean official to go to China after the establishment of the Datong New Dynasty. He has always advocated learning Chinese New Confucianism.

    Today, he has been expelled from the court and demoted to a local official.

    Jin Junyan asked: "I have heard of Lin Qingye's name in China. Could it be that he still can't defeat the Peasant Army?"

    Yin Shandao shook his head and sighed: "Lin Qingye also came from two classes of aristocrats, and he also belonged to the Westerner Party. But he was involved in party disputes within the Westerner Party twice, and later became very close to our Southerner Party. Now Westerners  The party governs, how could it be possible for him to make great contributions?"

    "You scholars are quite good at calculating generals." Jin Junyan sarcastically said.

    The Nanren Party, which was expelled from the court, was already plotting a counterattack, and even Lin Qingye was fooled out of the mountain by them.

    Once Lin Qingye leads the army, the Western People's Party will inevitably be hindered, which will lead to the defeat of the North Korean army.  The Southern People's Party can take the opportunity to impeach, saying that the Western People's Party has colluded with the Peasant Army, even if there is no collusion, it has harmed the North Korean army.

    Dang Chongjun said with a smile: "Let's wait and see."

    Let's say that Lin Qingye won the Cheorwon victory and was appointed marshal by the king.  He only took five thousand elites and tens of thousands of civilians, and chased the peasant army all the way, and the rest of the troops stayed in Cheorwon to protect the king.

    Frightened by Lin Qingye's prestige, the peasant army did not dare to fight him at all, and abandoned the city all the way back to Ping'an Road.  Along the way, they coerced the people, searched for food and goods, and did not give the officers and soldiers the opportunity to supply supplies on the spot.

    Lin Qingye successfully won Huangzhou, and then felt something was wrong.

    "Why hasn't the food and grass arrived yet?" Lin Qingye asked.

    "Already in the process of urging," Li Yuanren, who is in charge of grain and grass, replied. "The officials of Bingcao said that Chunchuan was blocked by heavenly soldiers, and the food in the south could not be transported to the north. The food collected in Gyeonggi-do must ensure the supply of Cheorwon. They are trying their best to raise food.  Ship to Huangzhou."

    Lin Qingye was furious: "Nonsense, the food and grass in Tieyuan can last for at least three months. With these three months, I have already wiped out the rebel army here! Go ahead, don't delay until winter, otherwise  How can you fight in a world of ice and snow?"

    Song Junji, the military judge, also known as the Minister of the Ministry of War, was determined to cut off the food and grass on the front line.  He colluded with Hu Cao to judge the book and always emphasized that there was not enough food, and he delivered food to the front line like squeezing toothpaste.

    In this way, Lin Qingye could only reduce his meals, and the frontline soldiers could not even guarantee two meals a day.

    Finally, Lin Qingye couldn't bear it anymore, and personally led hundreds of cavalry, rushed back to Tieyuan to confront Song Junji face to face.  Song Junji looked innocent, and the king had to guarantee the supply of military rations in Huangzhou.

    On the surface, Song Junji agreed, but in secret, he made a stumbling block. The powerful factions of the Western People's Party united and withheld the grain and grass shipped out layer by layer, and even withheld the rations of the peasants.

    Anyway, Lin Qingye can't be allowed to make meritorious service, otherwise they, the civil servants in power, will be finished.

    ? Song Shilie still has a bottom line, leading some civil officials to leave the Shandang, and constantly impeaching Song Junji for framing the frontline soldiers.  The Shan Party in the Western People's Party split into two factions.

    Lin Qingye, who was far away in Huangzhou, finally obtained a batch of military rations, and was about to continue to march north when he suddenly received an urgent military situation from the rear.

    The peasants transporting grain have rebelled!

    Lin Qingye had no choice but to lead his army back to quell the chaos and suppress the rebellious peasants. When the peasant army heard the news, they immediately came back and besieged Huangzhou.

    After quelling the rebellion of the peasants, Lin Qingye returned with his troops, intending to wipe out the peasant army outside Huangzhou City.  At this time, Cheorwon reported an urgent military situation. The peasant army led by Han Qiyuan went south along the east coast and approached the east side of Cheorwon. King Li Tomeng hurried back to escort him.

    Lin Qingye, a veteran, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.  There are soldiers on Tieyuan's side, and he specially stays here to protect the king. As long as there is enough food, it will be fine to stick to it for a year, so why should he go back to rescue?

    Lin Qingye continued to lead troops to Huangzhou, and received three imperial edicts in succession on the way. The Shan Party was already impeaching him for meritorious service, completely disregarding the life and death of the king and ministers.

    King Li ケ corrected his words and invaded c to Zhibao stalls, but a peasant army appeared in the east, so Li ヒbu e 竹鹏 followed the suggestion of the Shandang and sent Lin Qingye back to escort.

    helpless?The place is also the place where North Korea likes to recruit soldiers.

    Even if he was ceded out, Li ヒ arm in exchange for his grandma just felt that his dignity would be compromised, so he wanted to throw the pot of losing ground to the officials: "What do you think?"

    Still no one answered, and they were unwilling to accept the pot.

    Li Sehuan shook his head and asked, "Who objects?"

    The ministers remained silent, apparently no one objected.

    The forces of the two groups of nobles are all in the central and southern parts, and they will not feel bad if they are cut off from the north.

    Lin Qingye suddenly said: "Your Majesty, not an inch of the land can be ceded!"

    Li Kejiu, Chun Zhimao, and Qi Zhibao felt a little annoying at this time.  What does it mean?  It completely made him unable to get off the stage!

    ?Because of Lin Qingye's objection, this discussion could no longer proceed.

    In fact, food from the south has been transported northward, through the mountainous areas of Gangwon-do.  But it can only be borne by civilian husbands, and the loss is huge in the middle, and the civilian husbands have to eat more than half of it.

    ?After winter, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the government also asked the peasants to transport food, and the number of people who died of freezing and the disabled were countless.

    More and more civilians are fleeing, but the monarchs and the army have to eat. Before the winter is over, Cheorwon's food is already seriously insufficient.

    Kings and ministers can't go hungry, not only can't go hungry, they have to eat and drink well.  Then we can only suffer from the soldiers, the soldiers endured hunger and starvation, and the elite became resentful soldiers because of starvation, and finally there was a food disturbance before the New Year.

    If things go on like this, without the peasant army killing them, the elite officers and soldiers of North Korea will rebel.

    ?The monarchs and ministers of North Korea did not care about the life and death of soldiers, and the soldiers did not care about the life and death of the people.

    Before the New Year, the soldiers made a fuss about food, but they only had enough to eat for a few days.  On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the army began to reduce meals again, and the soldiers were too lazy to make food, and stepped on the snow to the surrounding countryside to grab it.

    Regardless of whether you are a landlord or a tenant, if you see a house, you will rush in.

    In the beginning, it was just a robbery of food, and gradually developed into a robbery of goods, and then even women.

    Of course, the king's personal guards are still in the city.  The officers are all the children of the nobles, and even the ordinary soldiers are the sons of the nobles, so they will definitely not be as hungry as the low-level soldiers.

    Lin Qingye killed several looters. Before he was beheaded, a general asked, "General Lin, we all respect and love you and are willing to fight with you. But can you feed us? You  If you can’t give us food, and don’t let us grab it, do you want all of us soldiers to starve to death?”

    These words made Lin Qingye silent for a while, recalling what happened in his previous life, the veteran in his sixties burst into tears.

    Lin Qingye found Song Shilie: "I'm disgusted by people now. The king and civil officials hate me for stopping them from cede land, and the soldiers also resent me for not being able to obtain military rations. I am redundant now. Only when I leave, can the ministers calmly betray the country,  Only generals can plunder. Although you have set off party disputes before, at least you still have some bottom line. I hope you can turn the tide."

    "Alas!" Song Shilie sighed.

    ? Farewell to Song Shilie, Lin Qingye hung his seal and left.

    The dozens of cavalry he brought from the south also spontaneously followed around and headed towards Chunchuan with only a few days of dry food.

    After Lin Qingye left like this, the North Korean monarchs and ministers were all happy, and hurriedly sent people to negotiate.

    The person in charge of the negotiations was Xu Mu, the commander of the third rank, who is the highest official of the Nanren Party in the center.

    What do you mean?

    Traitors are still engaged in party disputes, and the Westerners Party is unwilling to betray the country itself, so it forcibly sends the leaders of the Southerners Party.  After the matter is over, Xu Mu can be impeached and the power of the Nanren Party can be completely wiped out!

    "My lord, I dare not obey orders!"

    Xu Mu knelt down in front of Li Bianai, took off his black hat and said, "Ceding the land and begging for mercy, I am also a sinner through the ages. Please return to your hometown!"

    It won't be too late for Li Ni to resign after taking the blame.  "

    Xu Mu was so angry that he trembled all over, stood up abruptly, and slammed his head into the pillar next to him.

    There was a muffled sound, and the blood flowed, and Li Ke sent the robbers to forgive him.

    "Treat me quickly!" Song Shilie yelled.

    Xu Mu was carried out by the king's guards, and Li Cangqin was overwhelmed. He pointed to Zheng Taihe and said, "Godon't seek death, or your house will be ransacked!"

    Zheng Taihe said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, the minister is in charge of discussing the affairs of state (chief assistant), and it will be detrimental to the dignity of the country if the minister goes to negotiate."

    "Tell you to go, you go," Li Yaya was extremely angry, and pointed to Song Shiye and Song Junji, "You two go together! If you don't go, then I will forget it. North Korea has been attached to the Celestial Dynasty since then, and I will go to Nanjing  Ask an idle prince to do it!"

    This is tantamount to letting the chief minister of the cabinet, with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Minister of the Ministry of War, cede land and sell the country together.

    But how could the king not go when he said something like this?

    The three of them complained incessantly. They belonged to the Westerners Party, but they belonged to three different factions. Now they had to bear the blame together.  It is conceivable how bad their reputation will be in the future, and how the Nanren Party, which is a local official, will impeach them!

    They had made a plan to let Xu Mu of the Nanren Party take the blame, but Xu Mu committed suicide in front of the king, messing up all the plans of the Western Party.

    Calculate it, calculate it, now the calculation is on your own head.

    Hanyang, the three met Dang Chongjun.

    After the greetings, Song Shiyeol and Song Junji did not speak.

    Zheng Taihe could only bite the bullet and went around for a long time, saying: "Angel Rong Bing, "The Collection of Great Harmony" is profound and unfathomable. I will wait for Confucian scholars in the next country to read it. When we understand the mystery of "The Collection of Great Harmony"  , and it will not be too late to spread it to North Korean scholars.”

    Dang Chongjun said: "How about this, you three, go to Nanjing with me,

    How about His Majesty personally explaining "The Collection of Great Harmony" to you?  "

    "Don't dare to disturb the Holy Son of Heaven!" The three quickly refused.

    Zheng Taihe saw that he couldn't get away with it, so he simply broke the pot and threw it: "Master Angel, Beidao was originally a land of Liao, Jin and Yuan. Our country has been managed by the Celestial Dynasty for more than two hundred years. Today, we are willing to return it to the Celestial Dynasty. That Yizhou also  Even in Baozhou, the Datong army resisted the invasion of the Tartars in Baozhou, and kept the people of our country safe, and it should also be dedicated to the Celestial Dynasty."

    &If they are disbanded locally, the government will allocate land to them.  You can recommend four people to go to Nanjing to study at the military academy together.  It’s okay not to go to Nanjing, but to stay in Pyongan Road to be a policeman, and you can be in charge of the security of Pyongyang City.  "

    Li Enai originally belonged to the small landlords of Huanghai Road, and people in the north are not welcome, uu reads &lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http:  //www.uukanshu.com&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt  ;/a&gt;</a> Small landowners are also having a hard time.

    It is not bad for him to be the head of the police in Pyongyang City.

    After all, if the Datong Army ignores them, his rebel army will definitely be wiped out by North Korean officers and soldiers.

    The other two leaders of the Peasant Army also got the promise of being appointed officials, and then began to act.

    The Datong Army pulled out its cannons and bombarded them for a while, and then charged with bayonets.  Tens of thousands of peasant troops fled in embarrassment, engulfing the people along the way, and fled all the way to Ping'an Road.

    North Korea did keep the Yellow Sea Road, but only one-third of the population remained, and they were all coerced to the north of China.  It was repeatedly ravaged by the Tartars, and the population has not recovered much, and now it is just time to increase the population.  And the rebel army killed the landlord again, and the distribution of the land went with the flow.

    Han Qiyuan's troops on the East Road did the same thing, they were driven away by the Datong Army, and they took the people all the way to Xianjing Road.

    A group of loose merchants, looking at the departing peasant army and the departing Datong army, collectively stood in the wind and their thoughts were messed up.  What are they tossing for half a year?

    Of course, these merchants also made money. Most of the property looted by the peasant army was handed over to them for sale, and each of them made a lot of money.

    Li Sedijiao raccoon raccoon officially accepted the canonization and became king.

    Immediately, the party struggle kicked off again.

    ?The Nanren Party, who was a minor official in the imperial court, gathered the Nanren Party who served as local officials, and impeached the Western Party to cede land and sell the country for glory.  Zheng Taihe, the first assistant, was pushed to the end, Song Shilie and Song Junji were demoted to the county guards, and Li Ke didn't pull a bunch of southerners into the court.

    At the same time, a Chinese warship sailed to Tsushima Island.

    Zong Yizhen received the imperial decree from the Chinese emperor, and he didn't recover for a while.

    He is the lord of Shiwanshi vassal conferred by the Japanese shogunate, the lord of Tsushima island conferred by the king of Korea, and now the prefect of Tsushima prefecture conferred by the emperor of China.

 Text 950 [Tsushima Island]

    ,

    What the hell is Tsushima Island looking like now?

    During the Wanli period, Japan invaded Korea, and the Zong family of Tsushima Island was ordered to join the war.  All males on the island, from the age of 16 to 53, were all mobilized, barely recruiting an advance team of 5,000 people.

    The 5,000 Tsushima soldiers were almost wiped out, and there were no adult men on the island.

    After several years of hard work, finally a group of adults became adults.  Japan once again asked the Zong family to recruit soldiers, and tried their best to recruit only a thousand soldiers, some of whom were even under the age of 16.

    Fortunately, this time they did not really participate in the war, and all the thousand males survived. In the following decades, Tsushima relied on these thousand males to reproduce.

    Immediately afterwards, Zong was in charge of diplomacy with North Korea and successfully restored diplomatic relations between North Korea and Japan.  Tokugawa Ieyasu rewarded him for his meritorious deeds, and granted Duomafan a name of 100,000 shi, but his territory produced a maximum of 10,000 shi.

    The most important thing is the lack of people!

    Now it has been restored for decades, counting the old and weak, women and children, there are probably more than 10,000 people on the island.

    Historically, the Zong family ruled Tsushima Island for hundreds of years, and it was in the hands of Zong Yizhen that it reached its golden age.  But at this moment, Zong Yizhen has just succeeded to the throne for two or three years, the population is scarce, the fields are barren, and the debts are high. How can it look like a golden age?

    The house leak happened to rain all night. Last year, there was a fire, and the castle town was burned to ruins.

    The vassal Oura Mitsutomo said: "The top priority is to rebuild the castle town. At the same time, sort out the debts and use Japanese and Chinese merchants to rebuild the castle town. Sell the land to the merchants to pay off the debts. The built shops are also theirs. We will be responsible for collecting taxes in the future.  "

    This is being forced to do nothing, and can only rely on real estate to make money.

    Zong Yizhen just turned 21 years old, nodded and said: "That's fine, anyway, we don't have any money, so let merchants pay for rebuilding the castle town."

    Oura Mitsutomo also said: "After rebuilding the castle town, it is necessary to reform the land inspection and change the local knowledge and action system to the pre-Tibetan knowledge and action system. Implement the equalization system, develop new fields, absorb Japanese ronin, and strengthen the development of silver mines. With this  At the same time, it is necessary to establish a feudal school and train samurai who are loyal to the daimyo."

    "Such a reform, I'm afraid it will be difficult?" Zong Yizhen doubted.

    Centralization reform is of course very difficult. In another time and space, after the reform was completed, Mitsuyou Oura was executed, purely to vent the anger of other retainers.  But also because of this reform, Ma Fan quickly became stronger, and agriculture and commerce developed rapidly.

    Dapu Guangyou said: "No matter how difficult it is, we must reform, otherwise we will never have a bright future against Ma Fan."

    "My lord, an envoy from China has arrived!"

    Zong Yizhen stood up abruptly, took Oura Mitsuyou out, and other retainers also went to the port one after another.

    It was Dang Chongjun who came here. The North Korean monarchs and ministers were tossing around in the winter, and he was not idle in Hanyang.  During this period, he submitted his plan to Nanjing, and Zhao Han quickly approved and reissued the imperial decree and copper seal to him.

    "Minister of the lower kingdom, meet the angel!"

    Although Zong Yizhen has an official position in North Korea, he thinks he is Japanese in his bones.  At this time, self-declaration of identity was ambiguous, and it was not clear which country he was a minister of.

    Dang Chongjun was very young and was sent as an envoy because he was proficient in Japanese and Korean.

    At this moment, Dang Chongjun deliberately used Korean words: "Your Excellency, please, the lord of North Korea has dedicated Tsushima Island to the Celestial Dynasty. From now on, Your Excellency is an official of the Celestial Dynasty, and you don't need to call yourself a small minister."

    "ah?"

    Zong Yizhen subconsciously looked at Oura Guangyou, who also looked bewildered.

    Dang Chongjun said again: "Everyone, take a bath and change your clothes. After fasting for three days, set up the incense table to welcome the imperial edict."

    Oura Guangyou was the first to come back to his senses, bent down and said, "Angel, please enter the city and rest."

    The main city of Mafan is called Yanyuan City. Although it is small and dilapidated, it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.  As for the outside of the city, the commercial and living areas were all burned up, and it is currently in ruins. Merchants and people can only build temporary huts to live.

    Dang Chongjun passed by the castle town, and couldn't help asking: "Is everything outside the city burned?"

    Zong Yizhen had a bitter face: "It was burned last year, and I have been short of money to rebuild it, which made Master Angel laugh."

    "This is easy," Dang Chongjun said with a smile. "When I go back, I invite some merchants from Jiangsu to come over. They will definitely be willing to pay for the repair of shops. Moreover, Tsushima Island will soon be changed to Tsushima County, and the imperial court can also allocate a sum of money."  Money and food."

    Zong Yizhen and his retainers did not dare to object when they heard this. It is easier to ask God than to send God away.

    After setting up the Chinese envoys, Zong Yizhen held a meeting with his retainers.

    Due to the sharp drop in population caused by the war, the strength of the retainers on Tsushima Island was greatly damaged.  Then the "Liuchuan Incident" incident happened again, and the Zong family made the retainers submissivebsp; Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

    Dang Chongjun continued: "The entire island should be investigated, and taxes should be paid according to the number of acres. If anyone conceals the acres, the whole family will be exiled to Heilongjiang!"

    Dang Chongjun led a thousand Datong troops and demanded that Zong Yizhen hand over the city defense.

    Zong Yizhen discussed with his vassals for three full days, but finally he still didn't dare to resist, and obediently handed over the power of city defense.  Then, the domestic samurai were reorganized into policemen and inspectors, and all redundant samurai were dismissed and turned into ronin.

    Dang Chongjun was afraid that these ronin would cause trouble, so he even took away the ronin at the port. More than 400 ronin were scattered and thrown to Heilongjiang.

    Dang Chongjun led his troops away immediately, as if everything had changed, and yet nothing had changed.

    In the future, it will be a blunt knife to cut the flesh, and it will be Sinicized bit by bit.  Now the Han people only serve as the county magistrate and control the school. In the future, senior officials will be gradually sent to take charge of various departments of the Tsushima county government.  The military salaries of those inspectors are paid by the imperial court, and will gradually be managed by Han people.

    If there is any change, the Datong army will come and kill these Japanese lords completely.

    Even Zong Yizhen, the county magistrate, will be transferred to other provinces when the time is right, and will be managed by a Han official.

    When the time is right, it will be the real inventory of the fields.

    These guys must have concealed the land and did not report it. When they were caught, they ransacked their homes and exiled them. The court had an excuse to divide the land on a large scale.

    ,

    The Han Chinese merchants really came, and even brought some cement to recruit local people to vigorously build the city townwell, the community outside the city.

    At the same time, many goods were also shipped, such as cotton cloth and rice.

    This made Zong Yizhen and his retainers feel that it would not be a bad idea to belong to the Celestial Dynasty.  They have copper and silver mines in their hands. Silver cannot be consumed in North Korea, and copper ingots are often subject to economic sanctions by North Korea. Now they can be sold to Chinese businessmen.

    In the past 100 years, the copper ingots in Tsushima Island have exploded twice, and the warehouse is full but cannot be sold.  The reason is simple. They angered the king of North Korea and ordered a ban on the purchase of copper ingots from Tsushima Island.

    The island is embarrassing.

    When the population is less than 10,000, there is a lack of labor for mining, and there is also a lack of military protection and safety.

    After the population exceeds 10,000, they are worried about the lack of food.

    If the population exceeds 15,000, some of them will have to be evicted forcibly, otherwise famine will most likely occur.  Because North Korea strictly controls grain exports, and Japan has a deadly enemy, there are silver and copper mines in Tsushima, but no grain can be bought.

    After the Chinese merchants came, Zong Yizhen immediately made a fortune, and all the copper ingots in his hand were replaced with grain and cloth.

    The retainers who own mines are now county magistrates, town chiefs, and village chiefs. Whenever there are mines on their land, they immediately organize the people to mine them, hoping to take the opportunity to make a fortune.

    In fact, there are not many mines in Tsushima Island.

    In the past, I thought there were a lot of mines because the sales were not good.  Now that Chinese merchants have come, the silver and copper mines on the island are estimated to be exhausted in a decade or two.

    Zong Yizhen can speak Japanese and Korean since he was a child, and knows how to write Chinese characters. Now that he is a county magistrate, he has started to learn Chinese again.  When he sold copper ingots to Han merchants, he hired a man from the merchants to practice speaking Chinese all day long.

    But the one who is really awesome is Guangyou Dapu, now changed to Guangyou Pu.

    Pu Guangyou said to Zong Yizhen in private: "Xianzun, we used to be teachers and students, as well as monarchs and ministers. Now we are superiors and subordinates. The county lord asked me what I should do in the future. Do I want to hear the truth or lie?"

    "What is the truth? What is the lie?" Zong Yizhen asked.

    Pu Guangyou said: "False lies dormant secretly, accumulating strength and rebelling."

    Zong Yizhen shook his head: "How is this possible? The island can only accommodate more than 10,000 people. If there are more than 12,000 people, there will be food shortages, and if there are more than 15,000 people, there will be famine. How can we have an army to fight against the Celestial Empire? Let alone the Celestial Empire,  Even if the king of North Korea sends troops, we can't stop it at all."

    Pu Guangyou said: "Since you can't rebel, you can be a Chinese courtier with peace of mind."

    Zong Yizhen asked: "What should Chinese courtiers do?"

    Pu Guangyou said: "The county lord is the lord of an island, but the emperor will not allow you to occupy the island for a long time. Maybe two or three years, maybe five or six years, the county lord will be promoted and transferred outside. The emperor will promote you, and the county lord will not leave you.  leave?"

    "There is no other way if you don't leave." Zong Yizhen said.

    Pu Guangyou said: "The county officials will be transferred to other places. The county magistrate will be replaced by Han Chinese, and the officials of the county government will also be replaced by Han Chinese. Will you still be able to control the island by then?"

    "No." Zong Yizhen shook his head.

    Pu Guangyou said: "The county's honor is on the island, and the island property can be regarded as family property. Once you are transferred to Han as an official, you must be honest and selfless, because your superiors and subordinates are watching you. You must not be corrupt.  You must not make mistakes, otherwise you will be severely punished, and the imperial court will take the opportunity to attack Tsushima Island."

    Zong Yizhen thought about it: "It seems so."

    Pu Guangyou said: "The county lords should learn to speak Chinese, and from now on they will regard themselves as Han people. Then, be honest and selfless, upright and upright, and it is best to make political achievements. The more you are like this, the more chances you will be promoted. The emperor also hopes that you will be like this.  .”

    "And then?" Zong Yizhen asked.

    "You will be promoted very quickly, but when you reach a certain position, you may be transferred to the idle yamen. The Han people will not let you hold real power," Pu Guangyou said. "At that time, you should train your children and grandchildren and let them go to school.  Be an official. It is best to move your whole family away from Tsushima Island, and the court will be completely relieved of you. And the Zong clan has the opportunity to become a big family in Han in the future. Being a big family in China is no more important than being the owner of Tsushima Island.  powerful?"

    Zong Yi really thought carefully and didn't speak again.

    Pu Guangyou said again: "The retainers on the island, I guess the ending will not be very good. It is estimated that half of them will be beheaded or exiled. Only then can the Chinese emperor truly occupy Tsushima Island. If the county officials are not careful,  I'm afraid I can't escape the fate of extermination."

    Zong Yi was really terrified and asked, "How can I get promoted quickly?"

    "Politics?Yes to war with China, but must first build a strong navy.  The ships of all feudal clans should be assigned to the shogunate for dispatch.  "

    Abe Zhongqiu also said: "It must be so!"

    These three veterans are all staunch supporters of seclusion.  Their fiefdom is not close to the sea, and it is close to Edo. To maintain the rule of the shogunate is to protect themselves. Smuggling must be prohibited to prevent local lords from becoming stronger through sea trade.

    Nobutsuna Matsudaira has the oldest qualifications. If it wasn't for his poor health, he should be the talker.

    Facing the pressure of the three, Hoshina could only back down: "I am willing to dedicate all the ships to the shogunate. After returning to the territory, let the ships form a navy and immediately sail to Edo to obey the shogunate's dispatch."

    Such a clean concession made the three elders at a loss as to what to do.

    The shogunate has financial difficulties, and the local lords send ships. How can they use the money to support the naval forces?

    This thing can only be let go!

    The main issue is finance and official administration. In the past few decades, when the shogunate was established, Japanese politics was still relatively clear.

    ? With the shogun's resignation, it has become increasingly corrupt.

    Especially after Tadaki Sakai came to power, this man is a big corrupt official.  He blatantly sold his official titles, and later became a big boss, and even invented forms such as "bribery appointment schedule" and "designated bribes", which drove the bribery industry chain centered on luxury goods, imported products, and local specialties.

    The whole country is already rotten, and the army of the whole country is also corrupt.

    Smuggling by the sea was serious, but the retainers in the inland were also smuggling, and even appointed serving samurai to be responsible for securing the goods.

    Such an army may compete with North Korea, and it is no longer the strong Japanese army of the Warring States Period.

    Sakai Tadakiyo just opened the prelude to corruption. Tanuma Yiji, who later came to power, even publicly declared: "Gold and silver are more valuable than human life. Those who donate gold and silver to ask for the opportunity to serve the public must have loyalty in their hearts. The amount of gold and silver donated,  It is enough to think about people's hearts." He also said, "I went to the city every day and worked hard for the country, and I never felt at ease for a moment. When I returned home, I saw gifts piled up like a mountain under the porch, and I forgot the fatigue of the day and felt refreshed."

 Text 952 [Era of Expansion]

    ,

    Tsushima was occupied by China, and Japan made a lot of noise about it, but it was limited to quarrels between old and middle-aged people.

    For a small island, who wants to go to war with China?

    In the period of Ieyasu Tokugawa, perhaps there would be a symbolic dispatch of troops, but now there is nothing to do.

    The situation where the power of the shogunate fell to the side is not something that Tokugawa Jiazuna can solve.  It will even intensify, and Sakai Tadaki will eventually become the authoritarian elder, and the power of the elder will in turn overwhelm the shogun.

    This mess was later passed on to Tokugawa Tsunayoshi.

    Tokugawa Tsunayoshi set up the post of "side servant", and the veteran can only see the general through the side servant.  To put it bluntly, side servants are eunuchs who do not need to be castrated, while the elders and elders are the chief assistants and cabinet ministers.  Such an approach suppressed the old middle school, but led to the dictatorship of the side.

    Put it in China, it is the monopoly of eunuchs!

    This is for a later story, so I won't show it for the time being.

    However, after Zhao Han discussed the territory obtained from North Korea with the cabinet officials, he quickly made corresponding arrangements.

    ? Ping'an Road was changed to Ping'an Mansion, and the whole was merged into the jurisdiction of Liaoning Province.

    ? In addition, Xuantu Province was established, including the entire territory of Jilin Province in later generations, and the Hamgyong Road of North Korea was also incorporated into it.  The provincial government is located in Huifa City (to the east of Huinan), Dongning Prefecture is established as the provincial capital, the large area of ??Tonghua is designated as Jianzhou Prefecture, Hamgyong Road is changed to Hamgyong Prefecture, and the area of ??Tongyu and Buyeo is designated as Taining Prefecture  , Jilin and Changchun are set as Lujiang Mansion.

    The reason why the provincial government of Xuantu Province is located in Huifa City (Huinan) is purely due to geographical reasons.

    This city is located on the Huipa River (Huifa River), and you can go east along the river to the Songhua River; go west along the river for a section of the mountain road, and you can go straight to Shenyang via the Hunhe River; go south along the tributary for a section of the mountain road, you can pass Pozhu  Jiang arrived at the Yalu River to facilitate the control of Hamgyong Mansion.

    The entire Xuantu Province has a population of just over 200,000, and its ethnic composition is complex.  Among them, there are only more than 50,000 Han Chinese (including garrison troops and their families), about 40,000 Jurchens, 20,000 Mongolians, and the remaining 90,000 Koreans.

    Among the more than 50,000 Han Chinese, some are Sinicized Jurchen and Sinicized Mongolia.

    The reason why we are in a hurry to set up a province is to speed up the immigration of Han people, and the exiles in the future will also be thrown over first.  Then through school education and non-governmental exchanges, the Chinese-speaking area will be expanded little by little. After two or three generations, the population of the province should reach 500,000.

    ? For decades, Xuantu Province has been a money-losing product and has always relied on central funding for its development. It would be nice to be able to achieve a balance of fiscal revenue and expenditure within the province.

    ? On the contrary, Ping'an Mansion (Road) assigned to Liaoning Province is very good from Pyongyang to Baozhou. It is a relatively flat farming area near the river and the sea, and it is also the quintessence of the entire northern part of North Korea.

    Nanjing, the Forbidden City.

    Zhao Han asked Dang Chongjun who had just returned to Beijing: "After the land is ceded, how is the public opinion in North Korea?"

    Dang Chongjun replied: "It needs to be divided into places and people. North Korean officials don't say anything on the surface, but they have a lot of resentment towards our Chinese dynasty in private. Korean literati, some admire and fear our Chinese dynasty.  There were some who complained, but most of them pointed their finger at the Western People’s Party. The Song merchants in Kaesong were dissatisfied that Kaesong failed to attach to the Celestial Dynasty, and they were very likely to be liquidated afterwards, and they mainly expressed panic.”

    "What about the common people?" Zhao Han asked.

    Dang Chongjun said: "Our army once occupied Hanyang, Kaesong and Chunchuan, treated the people well, and did not commit any crimes. The people in these three cities are reluctant to leave the heavenly soldiers, and wish to stay there forever. As for the ordinary civilians in the local area, they have no  I just want to live a safe life.”

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "Understood."

    Dang Chongjun also said: "The secret work of the National Security Council has been spread everywhere, saying that the Chinese army sent troops this time because North Korea banned the dissemination of "Da Tong Ji". Many North Korean scholars and even North Korean officials believed it, and began to secretly buy "  They want to know what kind of books will attract heavenly soldiers to overwhelm the country. The more North Korea bans "Datong Ji", the more curious North Korean scholars will be, and the more they want to get it."

    Zhao Han said: "Qing has worked so hard this time, and I will go to Brunei again. When I return to Beijing, I will be promoted to You Shaoqing of Honglu Temple."

    "Brunei?" Dang Chongjun was puzzled.

    "There is a civil war over there." Zhao Han said speechlessly.

    Brunei is a big fart place. In history, this civil war has been fought for twelve years.  In the end, the civil strife was completely ended by ceding the land to the Sulu Kingdom and moving in the Sulu Kingdom for reinforcements.

    Probably the situation is as follows, Zhao Han has a concubine who is the Princess of Brunei.  Last year, the father-in-law, the king, died of illness, and his brother-in-law succeeded him as Sudan.  Less than half a year later, the brother-in-law, the king, died again. It was said that he died of illness, but no one knew the exact cause of death.  Immediately, the second brother-in-law succeeded to the position of Sudan.

    Second UncleLampung, Han Chinese referred to as Lampung.

    ? Shi Cunzhang, the leader of the local prominent family, led 3000 farmers and soldiers to take Bengkulu directly.

    Chen Sanwei, the leader of the local prominent family, led 3,000 peasants and soldiers to attack Ubulan.

    And the 500 Datong Army in Palembang went around Lampung on a warship.  Not only to take Lampung City, but also to use naval ships to cut off the Sultanate's reinforcements, because the main force of the Sultanate is in Java Island.

    There is no decent army here, only the burning tribes.

    Whether it is the governor of Palembang or the local Han people, they don't talk about benevolence, righteousness and morality.  Burning and killing all the way to drive away the aborigines, especially in the valleys and plains, and killing the aborigines when they saw them, because these lands are easy to cultivate.

    The Banten army in Sumatra had no time to assemble, and the cities of Ubull and Bengkulu were captured by farmers and soldiers.  In these two cities, even the walls are made of wood, and the Wandan soldiers with cold weapons, how can they stop the farmers and soldiers with muskets?

    ?As for Lampung City, it was even more unstoppable to the regular Datong army, and it fell within half a day, and all the forces of the Banten Kingdom in Sumatra were wiped out.

    Kuang Hong, Governor of Palembang, is really iron-blooded.

    This guy made his own claim, set off a storm in Nanyang, and led the Eight-Nation Allied Forces to take down Malacca.  Now that he has opened up territory in Palembang, there are probably tens of thousands of natives who died because of him over the years.

    Wu Liangfu, who killed Dayuer and Shunzhi, was standing outside Lampung City at this moment, looking at the sea and sighing with emotion: "Opening up the frontiers and expanding the land, spreading the power to the world, a man should do the same!"

    Kuang Hong smiled and said: "You have outstanding abilities. When I return to Beijing this time, I recommend you to be the deputy governor of Palembang. Even if you can't do it, you will definitely be able to return to China for promotion."

    ,

    Wandan City.

    Sultan Ah Geng was paralyzed on the throne and could not speak when he received the news of the loss of his country.

    The Banten Kingdom is no longer the previous Banten Kingdom. In the early days, facing the invasion of the Netherlands, they could send tens of thousands of troops to attack.  But now, the territory of Sumatra Island is occupied, and the total population of Banten is only about 100,000.

    China is not the Netherlands. The Dutch have few people, so they can only occupy key cities, and the outside of the city has to be reclaimed by the Han.

    The current situation is that more and more Han Chinese are directly reclaiming land and expelling local aborigines.  This led to the continuous shrinking of the land of Wandan, and it was impossible to fight and win, and it was impossible to cultivate the land, so it could only wait for death slowly.

    ? To be honest, Ah Geng is considered a wise sultan, not someone who is just waiting to die.

    Historically, he tried his best to resist the Netherlands, and relied on the profits of Banten Port to build an elite navy. The trade fleet sailed to India and the Philippines, and even fought back and forth with the Dutch fleet.  It was not until his later years that his son competed with him for power, and the Netherlands supported his son, that Banten Kingdom fell into internal friction and became weak.

    ? At that time, a war broke out between father and son, and the Dutch army was dispatched. Ah Geng persisted in fighting for two full years.  He even surrounded his son and the Dutch allied forces for a time, but was forced to retreat because of insufficient food and grass, and was eventually defeated and captured by the Netherlands.  Since then, the King of Banten surrendered to the Netherlands and became something like a chieftain.

    ? With China occupying Coconut City (Batavia), the port is open to all nations.

    The Governor of Coconut City also offers preferential tariffs. A large number of Chinese goods are shipped to Coconut City, and they rarely go to Banten Port.  Merchants from Britain, France, India, and Persia opened shops in Yecheng one after another, and Banten Port gradually declined.  Once a major international port, it has become a port for exporting local products, and spices can also attract merchants from all over the world.

    With the decline of trade, the shrinking of territory, and the decrease of population, Banten Kingdom's financial situation simply cannot support a large-scale army and navy.

    No matter how wise the monarch is, there is nothing he can do in this situation. If he wants to break the situation, he must first defeat the Datong Army.

    To fight, or not to fight?

    Sultan Ageng looked exhausted, and called his son Hayi: "You personally led a team to China and questioned the emperor of China why he invaded the land of Banten. China is the suzerain, and Banten is a vassal state. The vassal state has no fault. Why did the suzerain  Want to send troops? If the suzerain does this, wouldn’t it be chilling for so many subjects?”

    "Yes!" Ha Yi took the order.

    Ha Yi is the prince who defected to the Netherlands in history and fought a civil war with his father for two years.

    This guy has a strong desire for power, but his father has lived too long, so he uses the hands of Holland to kill his father.  At the same time, he admires Qiang, and feels that the Netherlands is very powerful, so he acts as a puppet with peace of mind, constantly betraying the interests of the country, completely disregarding the life and death of the people.

    On the other side of Yecheng, Governor Liu Hanyi also received the news.

    He is so envious of Kuang Hong. The Han people in Palembang have multiplied for more than two hundred years, and the number is tens of thousands. They can open up a large territory in one go.  And there are fewer Han people under his rule. Even if the territory is conquered, it cannot be effectively cultivated, and it can only be eaten away bit by bit.

    Otherwise, he will directly send troops to destroy Wan Dan!

    To the east of Coconut City, the once mighty Matalan Kingdom split into five sultanates.  After several years of melee, there are only four sultans left, which seem to be more unified, but in fact the population has dropped sharply and their strength is not as good as before.

    Among the remaining four sultans, one is a Han Chinese named Zheng Yongshou.

    He is known as the Sudan internally, and the Governor of Semarang, China externally, and he has actually been canonized by the emperor.  But for several years in a row, he rejected the officials sent by the imperial court, clearly wanting to be the local emperor here.

    A few months ago, Zhang Xianzhong, who was the mayor of a town in Taiwan, was suddenly summoned by the prefect: "Do you want to be promoted?"

    Zhang Xianzhong replied: "I think so."

    The magistrate said: "The governor of Semarang is disobedient. He accepts the canonization of the court, but refuses to send officials. Your Majesty intends to let you be the governor of Semarang. Would you like to take this job?"

    Zhang Xianzhong asked: "How many soldiers will you give me?"

    "There are only five hundred fellow troops." The magistrate said.

    Zhang Xianzhong thought for a while, gritted his teeth and grinned: "I'm done with this deal!"

    Zhang Xianzhong had already arrived in Semarang when Prince Hayi of Wandan Kingdom sailed to Nanjing.

    A fleet of six ships escorted Zhang Xianzhong to his post, accompanied by more than ten officials and five hundred troops.

    Zheng Yongshou, governor of Semarang, was quite frightened, and went to the port to greet him in person: "My minister Zheng Yongshou, meet the angel!"

    Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said: "My name is Zhang Xianzhong, I don't know if you have heard my name before."

    Zheng Yongshou quickly said: "It's like thunder."

    "It's astounding as thunder," Zhang said.In the important town of industry, a small earthen fortress was built between the two mountains, and dozens of Javanese soldiers were stationed there.

    Before dawn, the attack began.

    The small earthen castle is so short that it can be climbed by a ladder, and the defenders are defenseless.  Zhang Xianzhong took the lead by climbing up the earthen castle first, and he would kill any living people when he saw them.

    After occupying the earth fortress, Zhang Xianzhong said to the soldiers: "Say it again, rush into the town, and kill anyone who can't speak Chinese. Everything you grab will be handed over, and you are not allowed to hide it!"

    The small town encountered a killing star and ushered in an unwarranted disaster.

    Soldiers rushed into the houses and shops in the small town, and asked everyone they saw, "Are they Han Chinese?"

    Those who couldn't answer would be hacked to death.

    A lot of goods were robbed, and Zhang Xianzhong made a profit, but the Han merchants in Semarang complained endlessly.

    As a port city, Semarang needs to go to this small town for inland goods.  With Zhang Xianzhong killing so indiscriminately, who would dare to transport the goods to Semarang among the native merchants in the interior?

    Zhang Xianzhong didn't care about it, the important place of the door, a matter of life and death, must be in his own hands.

    Moreover, the foreign race had to be killed, and then the Han people from Semarang were moved in.

    As for business, it will recover slowly.  As far as this trade route is concerned, is it true that the Han merchants are in a hurry, but the indigenous merchants are not?

    Just over three months after Zhang Xianzhong took office, the area under the governorship of Semarang has doubled directly, and it is no longer purely a commercial city.

    The Sultan of Yogyakarta was not a vegetarian either. When he was attacked for no reason, he immediately ordered troops to be summoned and gathered 20,000 troops to attack Zhang Xianzhong.

 Text 954 [The tiger returns to the mountain]

    ,

    The Sultan of Yogyakarta, named Lasang, is a descendant of the royal family of the Bachang Kingdom. After the kingdom was destroyed, he became the feudal lord of Matalan.

    Matalam split, and Central Java was divided into three parts.

    One is the Solo Sultanate, the second is the Yogyakarta Sultanate, and the third is Semarang occupied by the Han people.

    For Solo and Yogyakarta, the goods must be shipped to Semarang for sea.  Therefore, although the Han people in Semarang are the weakest, the sultans of the two countries are unwilling to go to war with the Han people.  One is that it is more difficult to siege the city, and the other is that after they are defeated, they do not know how to engage in maritime trade.

    In the past few years, Solo and Yogyakarta have been at war. In the end, the Sultan of Yogyakarta won and unified the Central Java area except Semarang.

    Sultan Lasan of Yogyakarta is full of ambitions. His next goal is to attack the Surabaya Sultanate and take East Java into his pocket.  Surabaya was Surabaya, and the Sultan was a Javanese nobleman, but the Chinese also played an important role there.

    ?After the Surabaya Kingdom is unified, Semarang can be won without a fight. It must be nominally subject to the Sultan of Yogyakarta, and sending officials to collect taxes is considered the ruling method.

    Due to years of civil war, the population of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta has dropped sharply to about 200,000.  Both industry, commerce and agriculture were severely damaged. In the case of insufficient food, sending more than 20,000 troops is already the limit.

    Lasang personally led the army and marched towards Semarang mightily.

    The town that Zhang Xianzhong captured, that is, Belgas, was renamed Huanghu Town.  If Lasang wants to attack Semarang, he must pass through here.

    Huanghu Town is surrounded by mountains on all sides, a river leads directly to the sea, and the town is located on the flat land between the mountains.

    As soon as the Lasang army arrived in the southern valley, they were spotted by sentry soldiers and quickly lit up billowing smoke as a warning.

    "Governor, there is meat to eat!" Nongfentian laughed.

    Zhang Xianzhong, with a cigar in his mouth, leisurely puffed out the smoke: "Kill as many people as possible, the more you kill, the better. The south can be stable for twenty years. After the south is settled, let's go to the east to fight against Danmu, which is really useful."  territory."

    Nong Fentian was a young man of the Zhuang nationality. The 500 troops assigned to Zhang Xianzhong were all recruits from Guangxi, and only a few officers were veterans.

    The Datong imperial court expanded southward, and especially liked to recruit descendants of wolf soldiers from Yunnan and Guangxi.  First, it can alleviate land conflicts in mountainous areas, second, the people of Guangxi and Yunnan are more adaptable to the Nanyang environment, and third, these descendants of wolf soldiers are really fierce.

    After Zhang Xianzhong occupied Huanghu Town, he did not intend to continue to expand south.

    His plan is to cripple the country of Yogyakarta so badly that it will not be able to send troops for a decade or two.  Then, it has been developed to the east, and the east coast is a large fertile plain.  There is Danmu City, the Danmu country that once unified Java Island. Its capital is on the plain, but the city walls have long been destroyed.

    Zheng Yongshou, the former governor of Semarang, was a wimp who got rich and settled down.  In such a large fertile plain, the rulers were only landlords and aristocrats, and he never led troops to fight over it, which seemed unreasonable to Zhang Xianzhong.

    "Dang Dang Dang!"

    When the iron bell in Huanghu Town rang, not only did the five hundred fellow troops gather quickly, but the local Han men inside and outside the city also left their fellow men and gathered together.

    All the Javanese people near the town were killed, and Zhang Xianzhong distributed all the shops, houses, and land to the Han people.  These Han people all believed in the Green religion, and they were all commoners in the city and tenants outside the city.  They accidentally obtained the land of the store, and their loyalty was instantly full, and they were willing to follow Zhang Xianzhong to the death.

    Five hundred Datong troops, more than a thousand Han youths, killed the more than 20,000 Yogyakarta army.

    Lasan was still marching in the river valley at this time, the luggage was transported by boats, and the soldiers advanced along the river bank.

    "Boom!"

    "Boom!"

    There were muffled noises coming from the river, but it was Zhang Xianzhong who set up a large number of hidden piles in the river channel south of the town after he captured Huanghu Town.  Small fishing boats can pass through with ease, but boats with a slightly deeper draft are very likely to collide with hidden piles.

    The enemy's supply fleet was soon blocked there.

    Lasang ordered the soldiers who were familiar with water to go down the river to pull out the hidden piles.  But those hidden piles are really too many, it is the result of Zhang Xianzhong's one month's work, and it will take at least several days to completely clean them up.

    On the southeast side of Huanghu Town, there is still a valley that can be passed through, and it was blocked by mountains after thirty miles.

    Zhang Xianzhong led his troops for 30 miles and spent two more days crossing the mountains, and they reached the rear of the Yogyakarta army.  Immediately afterwards, he walked day and night along the river valley, and slowly moved towards the enemy's camp.

    Sultan Lasan was still pulling out the hidden stakes, and Zhang Xianzhong was already preparing to stab the chrysanthemum.

    At night, camps were set up along the river, and the Javanese soldiers were sleeping soundly.  To the north of Daying, facing the direction of Huanghu Town,p; Hearing that the Chinese army was dispatched, the leader of Danmu didn't know how many people came. He hurriedly took his family, property and private armed forces and ran directly to Surabaya City by sea boat.  When you arrive in Surabaya City, you can take refuge in the Sultan of Surabaya, and as long as you preserve your strength, you can continue to be a nobleman.

    The affluent Danmu area was easily captured by Zhang Xianzhong.  There were at least 20,000 indigenous people who were massacred here, and the five hundred troops were all led to ruin, and the missionaries in the army were at a loss as to what to do.

    The mission officer is also a descendant of Zhuang wolf soldiers, named Wei Zhuang.  He felt that he could no longer kill indiscriminately, so he went to Zhang Xianzhong privately: "Governor Zhang"

    "Is Wei Xuanjiao here?"

    Without waiting for Wei Zhuang to finish speaking, Zhang Xianzhong held Wei Zhuang's hand and said with a smile: "Wei Xuanjiao, the governor has already selected the most fertile 100 mu of cultivated land outside Danmu City, and it will be Wei Xuanjiao's private land in the future. Three Java  Girls, concubines for Wei Xuanjiao, all rich girls in the city, not native girls in the countryside. There are also a few Javanese girls who serve as maids for Wei Xuanjiao. There are also twenty Javanese slaves who work as tenants for Wei Xuanjiao.  "

    Wei Zhuang opened his mouth many times, but he hesitated to speak.

    Zhang Xianzhong captured the Danmu Plain in the east, and then set his sights on a small plain in the west.  There is also fertile soil. Although there are many forests, they can be reclaimed and cultivated.

    In one year, under the operation of Zhang Xianzhong, the Governor-General of Semarang expanded its territory more than ten times, and it didn't stop until it was surrounded by mountains.

    Zhang Xianzhong thought it was so cool, the aborigines here are not beaten, and as long as they are not Han Chinese, they can be arrested and slaughtered at will.  Getting him to be the governor of Semarang is like a tiger returning to the mountain and a dragon entering the sea.  If it weren't for the small number of Han Chinese, he felt that he would be able to unify Java Island in five years.

    What school education, what slowly pioneering, these are not in line with Zhang Xianzhong's characteristics.  He felt that the land was very good, and he could just lead his troops to kill and occupy it, and killed all the natives there, and distributed the few who were not killed to the soldiers as tenants.

    What is the cost of governance?

    There is no cost, only conquest!

    ,

    Zhang Xianzhong said that his fourth son was smart, but in fact his third son was also good, even capable of both civil and military skills.

    The third son is named Zhang Jianzhi, who is eighteen years old this year.

    At the age of twelve, he went hunting with his elders. At the age of fourteen, he went home for summer vacation. He also participated in the encirclement and suppression of headhunters, rushing quickly and slashing an enemy.  He successfully graduated from middle school and studied at Fuzhou University at his own expense. Unfortunately, he did not get a graduation certificate and was only eligible to apply for the official office.

    Zhang Jianzhi felt that the official examiner was meaningless, so after finishing college, he ran to Semarang to join his father.

    "You bastard," Zhang Xianzhong was furious, "I paid you to go to college, and you can't even get a diploma. You have a ball for reading so many books!"

    Zhang Jianzhi explained: "Father, today's college graduation exam is the exam for juren in the previous dynasty. From the Ministry of Rites to the Inspectorate, and then to the provincial officials, there are layers of supervision. How can it be easy to pass the exam? A college student who can graduate  Only a small half, most of the students can only get school certificates."

    "That is to say, you didn't pass the Juren examination, and you only have the fame of a scholar?" Zhang Xianzhong asked.

    Zhang Jianzhi nodded: "You can also say that."

    Zhang Xianzhong's anger came and went quickly, and he smacked his lips and said, "Scholars are just scholars, and they can be regarded as cultural people of the old Zhang family. What skills have you learned in college?"

    Zhang Jianzhi replied: "I am majoring in science, and I have covered physics, mathematics, astronomy, and geography. Liberal arts is a minor. I chose Taoism, which is relatively uncommon, and I have a rough understanding of "Laozi" and "Zhuangzi."

    "Isn't Lao Tzu the Taishang Laojun?" Zhang Xianzhong suddenly realized, "I dare you bastard to learn Taoism. Did the school teachers teach the five thunders?"

    Zhang Jianzhi had no choice but to explain: "Father, Taoism is Taoism, and Taoism is Taoism. Taoism talks about the principles of the great way, and Taoism talks about the rituals of fasting and offering sacrifices, and drawing symbols to drive away ghosts."

    Zhang Xianzhong understood again: "Taoism is an official, and it can only play tricks. Taoism is an official, and it has to be really hands-on."

    As soon as this remark came out, Zhang Jianzhi almost collapsed.

    Zhang Xianzhong sat down with a big horse and a golden sword: "Then you can play tricks and talk about the big truths of Taoism."

    Zhang Jianzhi thought about it carefully, and said: "I heard that my father was the governor here, and he slaughtered countless aborigines. In the eyes of Zhuangzi, my father is a big thief."

    Zhang Xianzhong's hypotension was cured, he slammed on the table and said, "How dare you call me a thief? I was forced by the government to rebel against the people, but now I kill people to serve the country. How can I be confused with a thief?"

    Zhang Jianzhi said: "The child is wrong. My father is not a big thief. Your Majesty is the big thief today. As for my father, he is at best a thief."

    Zhang Xianzhong heard that there was something in his son's words, and he said angrily: "Don't go around the bush, just speak directly if you have something to say."

    Zhang Jianzhi asked: "Father, have you ever heard that saints never die, but thieves never stop?"

    "Bullshit, the sage Kong died a long time ago, but there are so many thieves in the world." Zhang Xianzhong said.

    Zhang Jianzhi shook his head: "No, the sage does not specifically refer to Confucius, and the thieves are not ordinary thieves. Heaven and earth are divided into yin and yang. Where there is light, there is darkness. If one day, the light disappears, then the world will be full of darkness. If it is all darkness,  It means that there is no darkness, and even the concept of light and darkness will not exist. If there are saints, there will be great robbers; without saints, there will be no great robbers."

    "Speak human words!" Zhang Xianzhong was almost dizzy.

    Zhang Jianzhi began to show off his knowledge: "The big thief that Zhuangzi talked about actually refers to Tian Chengzi. The so-called thief who steals the hook is punished, and the prince who steals the country. Tian's replacement of Qi is a thief who steals the country. He not only stole the country of Qi, but also the country of Qi.  The laws, officials and morals of the people. And his descendant King Qiwei, who is obviously a descendant of a robber, has become a Ming emperor and a sage king.”

    The more Zhang Xianzhong listened, the more angry he became: "Which foolish teacher taught you this?"

    Zhang Jianzhi smiled and said: "Father, please listen patiently. Liu Xiahui is famous, right? He has a younger brother who is more famous, named Liu Xiazhi, commonly known as Robber Zhi. Robber Zhi is the ancestor of robbers. The disciples asked him if there is anything wrong with being a great thief."  Can you tell me the method? Let’s guess, father, how will the bandit Zhi answer.”

    "How to answer?" Zhang Xianzhong was a little curious.

    Zhang Jianzhi eloquently said: "The Robber Zhi said that if he can guess what property is in the house, he can be called holy; the one who enters the house first is called brave; the one who leaves the house last is called righteous;  Those who divide spoils fairly are called benevolent. Sageness, courage, righteousness, wisdom, and benevolence are the principles of being a thief, and it is said that a thief also has the way. Without these five qualities, it is impossible to become a great thief."

    Zhang Xianzhong slapped his thigh fiercely, and said with a cheerful smile: "What a thief has a way, what a saint, brave, righteous, wise and benevolent!"

    Zhang Jianzhi also said: "Your Majesty today is a thief who steals the country. He knows what the most important property in the world is, and he is a saint.?Later than my father, but also the first batch of rebels, they can be called brave.  Facing the siege by officers and soldiers, he did not leave the army to flee, which is justified.  He knows when to rebel, which is wise.  When he divided the loot, he was more fair than his father, and he distributed it to all the people in the world, which can be called benevolence.  "

    Zhang Xianzhong was dumbfounded when he heard it: "The teacher of Fuzhou University dares to say such things. Isn't he afraid of beheading?"

    Zhang Jianzhi said with a smile: "Hey, of course I dare not talk about it in class. These are all things the teacher said in private when he was drunk."

    I have to say that the Datong New Dynasty is really full of ideas.

    "Don't associate with this teacher again, sooner or later his home will be ransacked." Zhang Xianzhong warned.

    But Zhang Jianzhi said: "Father, the Taoist thief is not a pure villain, but a person who does not submit to inherent authority and morality. In "Miscellaneous Articles Robber Zhi", even Confucius is a fake Taoist, and Yao, Shun and Yu are not compassionate or filial.  Your Majesty is not only a great thief, but also a holy king. The false holy king is Chongzhen, and the real thief is Your Majesty. Saints never die, but there are no more robbers, that is to say, Chongzhen never dies, and Ming Dynasty never perishes. Thieves like your majesty, father, and Li Zicheng are  Never cease."

    Zhang Xianzhong savored carefully: "But there is some truth."

    Zhang Jianzhi said: "My teacher also said that many of Taoism's refutation of Confucianism were not Lao Tzu's original intention, but were attached to the Taoist children of later generations. Lao Tzu's true meaning is 'clothed in brown and pregnant with jade'. It is wearing tattered brown clothes and carrying  Baoyu. Your Majesty advocates true morality, opposes false morality, dislikes red tape, respects true feelings and nature, hates empty talk, and likes to practice. Isn’t this the pursuit of Taoism? Isn’t this just "cloth brown and pregnant with jade"?"

    Zhang Xianzhong recalled: "Your teacher, is he going around the bend to flatter the emperor?"

    Zhang Jianzhi said: "Father here, be a real thief, not a middle thief or a small thief. A real thief is to open up territories for the country and the people. No matter how many people kill, the emperor will not blame him.  Little thieves are selfish and cannot last long."

    "What's the mess?" Zhang Xianzhong actually understood.

    Zhang Jianzhi said: "Father, you should keep in mind that thieves have their own way. The way of a great thief lies in the five characters of sage, bravery, righteousness, wisdom and benevolence!"

    Zhang Xianzhong smiled and said, "Your university is not in vain."

    Zhang Jianzhi said: "If you are a big thief in Semarang, the land here is the greatest wealth. If you let the Han people occupy the land, you can be called holy. If you dare to forge ahead, you can be called brave. If you can show compassion to your subordinates, you can be called righteous. Know when to strike  How to do it can be called wisdom. It can be called benevolence if the Han people in Semarang can share the benefits. If your father can do these five characters, you can be called a real thief. You don’t need to deliberately ask for anything. When the time comes, fame and fortune will come  It will come. This is the most important principle of Taoism. Husbands are the only ones who cannot fight, and nothing in the world can compete with it!"

    Zhang Xianzhong was convinced by the words: "Damn you, why didn't you be born 30 years earlier. If I led you to fight the world back then, why would I use someone else as a military adviser?"

    "When the father gives birth to the child, the child has no choice." Zhang Jianzhi expressed regret.

    Zhang Xianzhong asked: "Tell me, what should I do?"

    Zhang Jianzhi said: "My boy made it very clear just now. Specifically, it is to lead the Han people to expand the territory and try to give the officials, merchants, landlords, and ordinary people here more benefits. But there must be rules. Semarang and  The situation in the country is different, and local regulations should be formulated separately. The "Law of Datong" should not be violated first, and then more detailed laws should be formulated according to the local realities. With the rules, everything will be easy to handle. Even if one day kills, it is because of this person  Breaking the rules. Everyone has resentment for killing people as soon as the father comes, and fear is more important than respect. If killing people according to the law is called fairness, the people can’t complain.”

    "That makes sense." Zhang Xianzhong nodded.

    "If you have the law, you should be polite," Zhang Jianzhi said. "The Han people here believe in messy things. They are also Christianity, Mazu, and Guan Gong. We have to encourage them to abandon religion and return to my Chinese righteous way. Yes.  Set a rule, in future battles, those who only believe in Buddhism and Taoism will be rewarded more, and those who also believe in Christianity will be rewarded less. The same is true for landlords and merchants. Do not impose heavy taxes on those who believe in Christianity, as it will arouse their hostility  But it can bring more benefits to the landlords and businessmen who have given up Christianity. Everyone seeks profit, and this reformation will change it."

    "That makes sense." Zhang Xianzhong nodded again.

    Zhang Jianzhi also said: "I also heard that the Han people are very strong in the Sishui country in the east. My father will expand the territory in the future and can develop towards Surabaya. When my father kills the aborigines, he can release some of them in front of them."  , Said that the Han people are respected and the natives can die. Send them back to Surabaya and provoke the conflict between the Han people and the natives there. If things go on like this, all the Han people in Surabaya can be used by me. If my father is in the same army, the Han people in Surabaya will definitely win!  "

    Zhang Xianzhong scolded with a smile: "Students are so damn shameless, you didn't read this book for nothing!"

    Zhang Jianzhi continued: "There are other ways to provoke conflicts between the Han people and the natives. The more aggressive the better, the better. If Surabaya can also be turned into Han soil, then a hundred years later, my father, a big thief, can also become a saint. Just like Tian  Cheng Zi is a great thief, but his grandson, King Qi Wei, is a holy king. My father is old, and he should seek success for all generations, and he should not be greedy for petty gains. He will also be famous in history from now on.

    Zhang Jianzhi continued: "There are other ways to provoke conflicts between the Han people and the natives. The more aggressive the better, the better. If Surabaya can also be turned into Han soil, then a hundred years later, my father, a big thief, can also become a saint. Just like Tian  Cheng Zi is a great thief, but his grandson, King Qi Wei, is a holy king. My father is old, and he should seek success for all generations, and he should not be greedy for petty gains. He will also be famous in history from now on.

    "In 1660, my subordinates brought me a cup of drink called 'tea'. I tasted it out of curiosity, and it was slightly bitter in the mouth, but when I swallowed it, there was an indescribable sweetness." -England Navy  Chief Executive and MP, Samuel Pepys.

    The tea at this time did not belong to the urgently needed goods of the British East India Company, and only a small amount of tea was passed from the European continent to the hands of British nobles.

    Charles II's return to the country and resettlement obviously brought about many changes.

    ? First of all, the table etiquette of the British court was determined, and the four-piece set of knife, fork, spoon, and chopsticks was spread to the nobles with Charles II as the center.

    Members of the House of Lords and House of Commons in the United Kingdom adopted the four-piece dining table one after another, and then spread to the public.  In the city of London, there are even workshops for making chopsticks, which are regarded as a kind of civilized high-end tableware.  The British aristocrats are even more self-taught, and they have people make silver and ivory chopsticks, so that they can be distinguished from commoner chopsticks.

    At the same time, Charles II liked to drink tea, and the price of tea in Europe was too expensive, so he ordered the British East India Company to bring some back from China for every trade.

    The power of the British East India Company is currently mainly concentrated in India.  Also sailed to Guangzhou, but finally gave up because it was more cost-effective to order directly in Banten.  Of course, Banten Port has declined relatively, and ships from various countries now prefer to go to Coconut City.

    Or you can order in Malacca, but the price of food in Malacca is more expensive, and more funds are needed to replenish food.

    The merchant ship that bought tea for Charles II had already set off from London, and the British merchants in Banten had just received the news of Cromwell's death.  They are more worried about the domestic situation. They don't know that Prince Charles has returned to China, so they can only guess that the political situation in London must be chaotic.

    Oliver, the head of the Far East of the British East India Company, wrote in a letter to London:

    "The tough governor of Palembang in China has annexed all the territory of Banten Kingdom in Sumatra. The decline of Banten Port is visible to the naked eye, because most of the Chinese businessmen ship their goods to Coconut City and Palembang, which are related to the  Tax incentives. Banten, a small country, will perish sooner or later, and no one can resist China's expansion"

    "Princess of Portugal, marry Chittagong to China. Chittagong is also engaged in preferential tariffs. There must be an emerging trade center. More and more Chinese merchant ships are going to Chittagong for trading. I guess that within a year or two at most, Chinese businessmen will  To monopolize all ports, the tariff preference will be canceled at that time, and it will even be higher than normal, which is not good for the British East India Company"

    "I heard that the new governor of Semarang is the leader of the rebel army who failed to fight for the throne in China. This is a murderous guy. He has no mercy on the natives. There may be 20,000 to 30,000 Javanese people who died in his hands. The more  More and more Chinese farmers have come to Java and Sumatra to reclaim land. They are all excellent cultivators, and their numbers are as large as herring in the North Sea. If this trend continues, I am afraid that in less than fifty years, Java and Sumatra will be full of  Chinese……"

    "Britain cannot colonize and expand in the Far East. We must focus on India. There was a civil war there, and the struggles of several princes seriously weakened the Mughals. This is the opportunity of the British East India Company"

    In fact, the Mughal Civil War was almost over.

    The third prince Aurangzeb and the fourth prince Murad led the army to march towards the capital together.

    At this time, the old emperor Shah Jahan recovered a little and sent Maharaja Jaswant Singh to fight.  And told Singer not to hurt the two princes, try to use prestige to force the rebels to surrender.

    Such an outrageous imperial order made it impossible for Jaswant Singh to deal with it. He could only send envoys to negotiate when the two armies confronted each other.  The third prince, Aurangzeb, took advantage of the opportunity of negotiation to spend money to buy off Singh's generals.

    The two princes won a big victory and continued to march towards the capital.

    When the war came here, it was different from the history.

    In another time and space, the first prince personally led the army to fight against the second prince, but the distance was too far to return for help.  So he sent the emperor's grandson to lead the army to deal with the coalition forces of the third prince and the fourth prince.  Marshal Jaswant Singh, who was defeated in the army, simply jumped back and led his troops to seek refuge with the third prince Aurangzeb.

    And in this time and space, the second prince got arms from China and had the ambition to be emperor, so he has been standing still to observe the situation.

    Therefore, now it is the eldest prince who brings the emperor's grandson to personally fight against the third and fourth princes.  Marshal Jaswant Singh did not dare to jump back, the two sides fought evenly, and the war was stalemate for three months.

    The third prince, Aurangzeb, suddenly issued an order that as long as he becomes emperor, the poll tax for Hindus will be restored, and Hindu businessmen will be subject to an additional 2.5% business tax, and Hindus are not allowed to ride horses, elephants, etc., and Hindu temples must be rebuilt  forreligious temple.

    Jihad call!

    As the news spread, the First Prince's army quickly fell apart, and a large number of Green Sect princes led troops to join the Third Prince.

    The third prince Aurangzeb gained high prestige, and fought all the way to the capital.  The eldest prince and grandson of the emperor were executed, the emperor Shah Jahan was placed under house arrest, and then the fourth prince, an ally, was poisoned to death.

    The second prince, who had been watching the theater in Bangladesh, didn't react at all, and the third prince had already ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.  It's too late for him to send troops at this time!

    The new emperor Aurangzeb, without waiting for the second prince to send troops, immediately rushed to Bengal.

    The generals of the vanguard are Mirjumura and his son Sultan.  A miraculous scene happened, the father and son were actually provoked by the second prince to turn against each other.  Sultan led the army to rebel and fled decisively to Bangladesh, where he became the son-in-law of the second prince.

    Immediately afterwards, Emperor Aurangzeb's father-in-law Nawaz Khan also rebelled and announced his support for the second prince.

    In desperation, Aurangzeb could only return to the army, go straight to Gujarat, and kill his father-in-law first.  Things went well, and the new emperor's father-in-law was killed by a shell.

    ?There were two accidents in succession, and Aurangzeb could only fight again in the next year.

    Now that the war has dragged on, the second prince's territory is only left in the Ganges Delta.  The Gongyutuo, Wucha and other lands in the southwest have all been lost, surviving on the complex water network.

    By this time, the new emperor Aurangzeb was also tired.

    He successfully imprisoned his father and killed his brother through the jihad call, and he must fulfill his promise after he ascended the throne.  A series of policies caused Hindus to revolt everywhere, and the Rajputs even declared their separation from the Mughal Empire (this is India's most important horse-producing area and the main source of Mughal cavalry).

    The brothers immediately declared a truce and recognized each other's status.

    The third prince, Aurangzeb, was the Mughal emperor. He stopped attacking Bengal and led troops back to suppress the Hindu rebels.

    The second prince, Shah Shuja, was the emperor of Bengal and ruled the Ganges Delta.

    Sivaji, the insurgent on the west coast, also made a truce with the Bigapur country and attacked the Mughal Empire with all his strength.  This man's territory is less than one-thirtieth of Aurangzeb's, but he took advantage of the Mughal uprising and killed the Mughal army retreating steadily.

    This series of wars has made Chinese maritime merchants miserable.

    Because of his extravagance and licentiousness, the Green Cult princes of the Mughals borrowed a lot of money from Hindu businessmen.  Aurangzeb favored the princes, allowed them not to pay back the money, and raised taxes for Hindu merchants.  The princes were encouraged, not only did not pay back the money, but also began to extort money from the merchants.

    After going back and forth, a large number of Hindu businessmen went bankrupt.

    Although the territory of the Bengal emperor is not affected by decrees.  However, most of the goods bought by merchants here had to be shipped to the Mughals for sale. Over there, the increase in business taxes and the bankruptcy of a large number of merchants caused a huge backlog of goods for Bangladeshi merchants.

    However, when Chinese maritime merchants received orders to ship cotton cloth and other commodities to Bangladesh, what they faced was a collective breach of contract by business partners.  We can only take the risk to continue south, sell the goods at a discount to the Dutch and the British, and then sell them to various states in southern India through the sales network of the UK and the Netherlands.

    Mughal people, merchants, craftsmen, as well as Bengali merchants and Chinese merchants, all suffered heavy losses.  The only ones who benefited were the princes and nobles of the Green Sect, and they gained by killing the chicken and taking the eggs.

    The Ganges River Basin is the quintessence of Mughal handicraft industry and commerce. After the new emperor Aurangzeb did this, the traditional Mughal industrial and commercial system almost collapsed!

    The Mughal Empire, which was already in financial difficulties, suffered another fatal blow.  Coupled with the continuous uprisings, the local governor and princes took the opportunity to grow bigger and support the bandits, so Aurangzeb, who is powerful in force, can still hold back.

    Once Aurangzeb died, the Mughal Empire would be abolished, and it could still exist in name, but in fact it was divided everywhere.

    Zhao Han received the news from the merchants and Xizuo, and couldn't help sighing: "The Mughals are over, and once Aurangzeb dies, it will be the situation of the feudal towns in the late Tang Dynasty."

    Of course, Aurangzeb is still very strong.

    This guy quickly quelled the uprisings in various places. Although he could not destroy the rebel Sivaji, he successfully designed to surrender.  Although the trap failed, he regained the territory captured by Sivaji, and then beat up the states of the Deccan Plateau.  It can be said that whoever is arrested will be beaten, and whoever is seen will be killed.

    Squeeze out the last blood and sweat of the Mughal people and create the supreme hegemony of Emperor Aurangzeb!

    The loss of Chinese maritime merchants is only temporary.

    ?As the handicraft industry in the Ganges River Basin declines, the demand for Chinese goods will be even greater.  At most one or two years, the sales volume of Chinese goods in Mughal will rise rapidly.

    However, the second prince, who failed in the battle for the throne, saw that his brothers stopped beating him, and became the emperor of Bengal with peace of mind.  This guy kept bullying the native lands in the east, and attacked the mountain tribes from time to time. It seemed to be showing off his power and expanding his territory, but in fact it was all a loss-making business, purely venting his anger on the mountain tribes.

    Bangladesh's finances were quickly in distress, but the nobles were more content with enjoying themselves. They re-imposed poll taxes, commercial taxes and agricultural taxes were also raised, and a large number of people fell into abject poverty.

    The emperor brothers Mughal and Bengal, say they are stupid, they are expanding their territory.  Say they are wise, and the people in the country are in dire straits.

    To sum it up in three words: toss around!

    ,

    "Spanish silver can be seen all over Europe." - King Charles II of England.

    This sentence refers to rampant smuggling in America.

    In the first two decades of the 17th century, the amount of American silver imported into Spain reached more than 200,000 kilograms per year.

    By the 1930s, it dropped sharply to an average of only 140,000 kilograms per year;

    By the 1950s, only 40,000 kilograms of American silver flowed into Spain each year remained.

    The "reduction" of silver production in the Americas was initially due to floods in Mexico, and continuous rain caused water accumulation and landslides in silver mines.  Moreover, silver is refined with mercury, which consumes too much mercury resources, which makes it impossible to smelt silver after digging out silver mines.

    This situation is actually slowly recovering.

    Why does the silver production in the Americas continue to decrease?  Of course it was the intentional result of the colonial officials!

    A large amount of silver was mined and refined, and it was not reported to the king at all.  Instead, it was traded privately and flowed into various European countries. That's why Charles II said, "Spain's silver can be seen all over Europe."

    The King of Spain couldn't figure out the situation, and stepped up restrictions on the trade of galleons to prevent excessive silver from flowing into China.  In addition, the Japanese shogunate also prohibited daimyo from mining silver mines, which really caused a silver shortage in the late Ming Dynasty.

    Forbidden City, Imperial Garden.

    Song Yingxing, who has already retired, took out the first edition of "Economic Knowledge", sipping tea and said: "This year, prices in coastal cities have risen sharply. The root cause is the increased inflow of silver from America and Japan."

    Zhao Han flipped through the manuscript casually, and listened to Song Yingxing's continuation.

    Song Yingxing said: "Li Quan took the fleet to the Americas for trade, and the Spanish officials on the west coast of America completely opened up smuggling. Not only did they smuggle with Li Quan, but the Spanish officials and the navy also ignored the king's ban and filled the cabins with  Goods and silver. But the power of the Japanese shogunate has fallen, and the banned silver mines have resumed work. The silver is all flowing to the coastal provinces of the Celestial Dynasty."

    "It's annoying to have too much money." Zhao Han smiled.

    Song Yingxing also said: "I carefully checked the "Price Book" over the years, taking Jiangsu, Lianghu, and Sichuan as examples. The price rise in Jiangsu will affect the two lakes in about two to three years, and it will affect Sichuan in about five to six years.  In the Southwest, the impact is more gradual."

    Zhao Han said: "We can only bear it."

    There is really no way. At this time, Chinese commodities occupy an absolute dominant position in the world, and China is a net inflow country of silver.  In the new dynasty of Datong, sea trade became more and more prosperous, and this situation became more obvious, and the continuous rise of prices was unstoppable.

    It is the peasants who suffer!

    Merchants have huge profits, industrialists and citizens can raise wages, and farmers who only have grain income are the most affected (the increase in grain purchase prices is far behind the increase in prices).

    Of course, China is large enough to buffer this impact.

    European countries are small in size, and it is scary to encounter such a situation, and a proper term was born directly-price revolution.

    Due to the influx of silver from America, so many commodities were produced.  In Spain, in the first 50 years of the 16th century, prices nearly doubled, and prices rose by about 60% in the next 50 years. The momentum was not stopped until silver production decreased.

    France was the first to be affected, followed by Italy.  The common people are already stupid, their income has not increased, but their shopping has become more and more expensive.

    Charles II was very lucky. The time when he returned home to seize the throne coincided with the peak of the price increase rate in Britain.  This product not only has to face financial difficulties, but also has to face soaring prices. Who made Britain's "price revolution" come so slowly?  People in Spain and France have already finished the leather.

    Song Yingxing continued: "Nowadays, the imperial court has issued gold coins again. The government has lowered the price of gold and silver, and merchants even went to India for trade. I heard that those Indian merchants like to pay with gold and silver coins, and gold coins account for a large proportion. In the future, not only  There’s a lot of silver coming in, and gold is going to come in.”

    "What countermeasure does Song Qing have?" Zhao Han asked.

    Song Yingxing said: "When collecting land taxes, we must be extra cautious and pay more attention to local grain prices to avoid causing too heavy a burden on farmers."

    Since Zhang Juzheng's reform, China's land tax collection has been changed to currency.  As for the price discount of grain, it varies from place to place, and officials have a lot of room for manipulation, which has always been chaotic.

    The Datong New Dynasty calculates taxes according to the number of acres and grades, and the tax rate also follows the local grain price.

    Now the price of grain continues to rise, but the price of grain sold by farmers is often suppressed.  Moreover, most provinces no longer collect taxes in kind, and farmers can only pay taxes with money.  As the denominations of official tickets and military tickets changed from grain units to currency units, Datong Bank also gradually reduced its grain collection and put the grain; There are also Hamgyong Road and Pingan Road in North Korea, which have a high degree of civilization, intellectuals can also read Chinese characters, and the terrain is not suitable for violent rule.  Then priority should be given to care and education, and education should be the first, and it is enough to turn them into Han Chinese.

    Zhao Han's thinking became clearer, and he wrote "The Governor's Essentials", and all future officials sent abroad must study this book carefully.

    The specific policy depends on the specific situation.

    Confucianism pays attention to the mean, and the mean is not to follow the crowd with the mud, that is for the ignorant to take the meaning out of the text.

    The core idea of ??Zhongyong is the unity of heaven and man, and emphasizes the coordination of heaven, earth and man.

    The mean in the narrow sense talks about the cultivation of human nature and how to be a gentleman.

    The mean in a broad sense is about how to do things.  To put it bluntly, I have to stick to my principles and know what my goals and bottom line are.  Then, according to the environment and interpersonal relationship, make the most appropriate choice, adapting measures to time, place and person.

    Zhao Han's colonial policy is the golden mean, the core is to open up, and the rest depends on the situation to decide what to do.

    Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu left Nanjing quietly.

    Fei Ruhe went to Shaanxi and took control of the Shanxi, Shaanxi and Monan troops.  Zhang Tieniu went to Hebei to control the Hebei, Liaoning and Modong troops.

    ? They had nearly a year to mobilize troops, recruit civilians, and coordinate supplies.  Local officials must cooperate.  Datong Bank, Datong Navy and Nanfang Maritime Merchants will also transport grain overseas for them.

    In addition, Li Zheng's Anton Governor's Mansion will also cooperate in the battle.

    Fei Ruhe's West Route Army is expected to dispatch 80,000 troops, including 30,000 infantry and 50,000 cavalry (including Mongolian cavalry).  There are also 150,000 civilian husbands and 300,000 mules and horses.

    Zhang Tieniu's Central Route Army is expected to dispatch 100,000 troops, including 40,000 infantry and 60,000 cavalry (including Mongolian cavalry).  There are also 180,000 civilian husbands and 300,000 mules and horses.

    Li Zheng's East Route Army is expected to dispatch 6,000 troops to take Nerchinsk directly along the Heilongjiang and Shileka Rivers, occupy the confluence area of ??the Shileka River, Yinguoda River, and Onen River, and prevent the enemies from the Hulunbeier Grassland from fleeing north.  If you have spare energy and time, attack the Cossacks and recover the Baikal area!

    In this battle, military expenses cost at least 40 million taels of silver, not to mention so many mules and horses, and hundreds of thousands of civilians have to be paid wages!

    If the battle goes well and takes a short time, maybe 30 million taels can be done

    When China was preparing for war, the Russian mission had already returned to Moscow.

    Tsar Alexei I is facing various difficulties, or has been facing difficulties.

    At the beginning of his ascension to the throne, he was controlled by the power minister Morozov, and he was forced to become a brother-in-law with the power minister.

    The powerful ministers raised the salt tax higher than the price of salt, and canceled the salaries of blacksmiths, carpenters, shooting soldiers, and urban civil servants, so that these people would not get paid to work for the government.  Then, the shooting army tax and post tax were pursued.

    A series of coquettish operations eventually led to an uprising of Moscow citizens, and artisans, merchants, soldiers, and nobles united to rebel.

    Many nobles in power were killed. Alexei I took the opportunity to launch an attack and exiled the power minister Morozov to the monastery.

    The tsar is finally in power.

    He recalled the officials exiled by the powerful ministers, exempted the arrears of taxes, convened a meeting of the gentry, and formulated the "Conference Code".  It also reorganized government agencies, improved the tax system, formed a new army, comprehensively studied European culture, curbed the expansion of church power, established the first new school in Russian history, and annexed Eastern Ukraine.

    Everything is thriving, but unfortunately the treasury has no money.

    And the Ottoman Empire also ended the chaotic era of queens and launched an attack on Russia again.  While he was fighting Ottomans, he was fighting Poland and Sweden. The continuous wars made Russia very poor.

    His daughter, Princess Sophia, who is also Wei Xiaobao's lover, is three years old this year.

    As for the son Peter the Great, he has not yet been born.

    Baykov, the leader of the mission, had an audience with the tsar in the palace, and the virtuous minister Olgin Nashokin stood beside him.

    The Prime Minister Nashokin is very powerful, proficient in mathematics, Latin, German and Polish, and has long been dealing with Western European countries.  He felt that Russia was too backward and had to study hard, even from the enemy.

    Later, Peter the Great's successful reforms were inseparable from the solid foundation laid by Nashokin.

    Baykov, who returned from Nanjing, knelt down and bowed to the tsar and the prime minister: "Your Majesty, the capital of Khitan is not in Khan Bali (Beijing), but has been moved to a big city called Nanjing."

    "Where is Nanjing?" Alexei I asked.

    Baikov took out the map he got from China, which was still the civilian version, without marking mountains, rivers and rivers.  He was allowed to come to the Tsar, pointed to the map and said, "Your Majesty, Nanjing is here."

    The Tsar and the Prime Minister looked around the map for a while.

    Baykov said: "Twenty years ago, the Khitan Kingdom fell into civil strife, and the emperor committed suicide in Khan Bali. Today's Khitan emperor is called Zhao Han. He raised troops from here (Jiangxi), defeated all the enemies, and established a country called 'Datong'.  'The Khitan Dynasty. Then, it expanded its territory crazily, and the Khitan country was unprecedentedly large."

    Prime Minister Nashokin asked: "Are there so many dependent countries and territories overseas? Expansion like this may not be enough for the finances."

    Baykov said: "On the contrary, the emerging Khitan Datong Dynasty is the wealthiest country I have ever seen. The national inventory has more than one hundred years of silver coins. Moreover, the lives of the Khitan people have not been affected by the war. I  In Nanking, not even a beggar can be found, and even the humblest servant lives better than a Moscow craftsman."

    "How is this possible?" Nashaw asked??.  The sweet potato is a root food from the Americas.  Therefore, the Khitan commoners love and respect their officials and emperors.  The last Khitan emperor committed suicide because the peasant army broke through the capital because of heavy taxes.  "

    Nashokin advocated learning from foreign countries and his own enemies. When he heard this, he said: "Your Majesty, please send another mission to Khitan, and send some outstanding young people there. Only by learning from Khitan can Russia be strong."  .to reach one percent of Khitan, we are enough to defeat Poland, Sweden and Ottomans."

    Alexei I was kind and generous, and said: "I will leave this matter to you to arrange."

    Alexei used to envy the King of France, but now he began to envy the Emperor of Khitan, and even felt a trace of admiration in his heart: "Tell me all the news about the Emperor of Khitan."

    Baikov held up a book: "This is "The King of Kings——The Biography of the Khitan Great Emperor" written by the French envoy. I copied a copy in Latin."

 Text 959 [Envious]

    ,

    The original version of the book "The King of Kings - The Biography of the Great Chinese Emperor" was written in French.

    Just like "Golden Plum", it was banned from publication by Louis XIV, so I just took it out and have a look.  Because this book is too real, it analyzes and explains the content of "Datong Collection" in detail.

    However, scholars sponsored by the Medici family, like the Russian envoys, translated the book into Italian and brought it back.

    It is now popular in Italy, but it was quickly banned by more than a dozen states.  Only the Republic of Venice dared to continue printing and publishing, and even the Pope couldn’t stop it—Venice was fighting against the Ottoman invasion, and the Cretan War had lasted for more than ten years, and all the states were looking forward to Venice’s victory.

    Alexei I, sitting alone in his study, opened the Latin version of "The King of Kings - The Biography of the Great Khitan Emperor".

    "About this great emperor, there are many rumors in Europe, and the story of the prince's return to the country is widely spread. Even in Khitan, there are many people who believe that their emperor is a royal descendant of the Song Empire. But the great emperor,  Publicly refuted such remarks, claiming that he was just an ordinary civilian"

    "However, His Majesty the Emperor is obviously humble. In Khitan, there are some very ancient surnames with a family history of thousands of years. His Majesty the Emperor and the royal family of the Song Empire had the same ancestors more than a thousand years ago. By the time of the Ming Empire  , the ancestors of His Majesty the Emperor were reduced to families of ordinary scholars. In the Ming Empire, the people were divided into many occupations, including military households, civilian households, kitchen households, craftsmen, astrologers (yin and yang households), etc. His Majesty the Emperor belonged to Confucian households, and also  It is the family of officially certified scholars"

    "This may be the reason why His Majesty the Emperor has profound knowledge and wise thinking, because his ancestors are all scholars, and his family has inherited excellent oriental cultural secrets"

    "The Ming Empire was once powerful, but decades ago, there appeared an emperor (Wanli) who ignored government affairs. The officials of the empire retired and died of illness, and he refused to let new officials take office. The huge country lacked official governance, and the gentry  They set out to steal power from the Empire."

    "When our great emperor was born, the Ming Empire was on the verge of decline. The barbarians from the north continued to invade the borders of the empire. The heavy taxation caused mobs in the empire to rise up, and people rebelled against the rule of the Ming Empire. The last emperor of the Ming Empire  Chongzhen is recognized as a hardworking monarch, but his talent obviously cannot save the huge empire"

    "Even the family of scholars, in the face of tyranny and natural disasters, became homeless due to hunger. Yes, His Majesty the Great Emperor once worked as a homeless beggar. And he was only a child at that time, and his father and mother died of starvation  , my sister was sold to be a maid, and he needs to take his sister to beg and wander"

    "Such a person cannot become a monarch in Europe, and he will eventually die of various reasons. After a long period of suffering, His Majesty the Emperor was taken in by a benevolent scholar and allowed him to become a retinue as an adopted son.  The scholar's daughter, who later became the Khitan Empress."

    "Understanding this, you can understand why His Majesty the Emperor treats the common people favorably. No, not the common people, but everyone, including prostitutes and slaves. Your Majesty the Great Emperor believes that all people are created equal, and only virtue is truly noble.  Instead of family, title and office"

    The author is obviously not very good at writing popular books, and the opening paragraphs are long and long, describing the social situation in the late Ming Dynasty.  He even gave various notes explaining what Confucianism is.  The explanation of lattice theory is several pages long, and it is written like a dissertation.

    After Zhao Han ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he spent a lot of time explaining the content of political reforms and analyzing the differences between these systems and those in Europe.

    Alexei I read this biography for more than half a month before he roughly read it.  Then, start reading again, combining those annotations for a detailed understanding.

    The author wrote at the end of the book:

    "The great emperor, His Majesty, is still young and vigorous, and his body is so healthy. Under his rule, the empire will expand in size and the people will become richer. His Majesty's story is far from over"

    "But we can already conclude that His Majesty the Great Emperor is an unprecedented and unique existence. Regardless of his prominent status, His Majesty is first and foremost a philosopher. He is like omniscient and omnipotent, knowing all the knowledge in the world  .He has made pioneering achievements in the fields of mathematics, geometry, and physics. He is a poet and a writer, and his poems are praised by all people"

    "He is kind. His kindness is real kindness, not false kindness. He makes everyone live equally, even the lowest level of common people. He makes all children, regardless of gender, have the opportunity to receive free education  .”

    "Just like his title, heThe first emperor of the People's Republic of China.  Elaborating on this title, it is from him that all are equal.  He is not the emperor of the nobility, he is the emperor of the people.  Does Europe have such a monarch?  "

    "He is the philosopher king, the king of kings. His dignity does not lie in ruling the most powerful empire in the world, but in his noble soul that surpasses all others."

    "Praise the great Emperor, may God give him all blessings, and may his body be healthy forever. The rich Khitan has the most wealth in the world. And His Majesty the Emperor himself is the greatest wealth of the empire!"

    Alexei I read it twice, and then handed the book to Prime Minister Nashokin.

    After reading it carefully, Nashokin said to Alexei: "Your Majesty, this book cannot be circulated. No one but the royal family must read it, otherwise it will become a plague-like existence. If a down-and-out nobleman reads it,  May lead a serf rebellion that will eventually disintegrate the rule of the Russian Empire."

    "I know," Alexei sighed, "but I sincerely admire the Khitan emperor. He is the benchmark of all monarchs, and no monarch can surpass him. He can make the common people happy, but ours can only continue  tax the people. I know that the citizens of Moscow are complaining, because this year the taxes are heavier again. But what can be done?"

    Nashokin said: "The greatness of the Khitan emperor lies in the fact that he got rid of the shackles of the noble lords, and the emperor can directly rule the people. What we should do most is to weaken the power of the nobles and let the tax revenue be concentrated in the center."

    Alexei shook his head: "It's too difficult."

    "But we have to do it, don't we?" Nashokin said.

    At this time, the tsar had not completely completed the centralization of power.

    During the period of Ivan IV, the great nobles were powerful.  Ivan IV continued to weaken the influence of the great nobles by reusing service personnel (officials, soldiers, craftsmen, etc.).  And through the meeting of nobles and gentry, the joint servants, monks, small nobles, and merchants fought against those big nobles.

    Up to now, the Gentlemen's Conference has become stronger and stronger, and has even become a national representative conference.

    However, in addition to the meeting of the gentry, there is also a session of the Duma.  The Duma Conference is the highest authority in Russia and a tool for the great aristocracy to oppose centralization.  This is similar to the House of Lords and House of Commons in the United Kingdom, where the Duma is the House of Lords and the Conference of the Gentlemen is the House of Commons.

    There is also a difference from the UK's own job. The great nobles of the Duma meeting can participate in the gentry meeting.  This is equivalent to the fact that the House of Commons is in session, and the first three rows are full of nobles from the House of Lords.

    Throughout his life, Alexey was unable to change the current situation, and even went back to the situation more than a hundred years ago.  The key point is that the tsar had no money, agricultural production was reduced during the Little Ice Age, and the treasury was empty, so he could only acquiesce in the counterattack of the big nobles.

    It wasn't until Peter the Great came to power that he blatantly canceled the Duma meeting, and the highest power was concentrated in the Privy Council, and the Tsar really started to say what he said!

    Alexei said with emotion: "Khitan is so rich, but the land in Russia is too barren. As long as there are not so many natural disasters and the treasury is slightly richer, I don't need to look at the faces of the nobles of the Duma."

    Alexei's proudest work was the promulgation of the "Congress Code".

    However, this "Law Code" is also a product of compromise. It successfully canceled the tax-free privileges of nobles and monks at the cost of changing the time limit for hunting fugitive slaves intoindefinite!

    Local aristocrats, according to the "Code", can randomly arrest civilians, as long as they identify this person as a fugitive slave, and then legally occupy the property of the civilians.  There are also a large number of serfs who escaped to reclaim wasteland, but were caught by the nobles and took the land for themselves.  Even the grandfather escaped, arrested his grandson as a serf, and occupied all his land.

    "Let's mint copper coins," Nashokin said, "Khitan can use copper coins, and we can try it too. Maybe this can solve the financial crisis."

    Alexei said: "That's the only way."

    This pair of monarchs and ministers is simply whimsical, because in the history of Russia, copper coins have never been issued.

    After two years, they will usher in bad results.  Inflation has increased dozens of times. Not only Moscow citizens rioted, but other cities also engaged in riots. After the suppression, the issuance of copper coins was quickly cancelled.  Reluctantly, they once again focused on the peasant class and continued to increase taxes, eventually brewing the Racine peasant uprising that lasted for several years.

    At night, Alexei fell asleep holding "The King of Kings——The Biography of the Khitan Great Emperor".  How much he wanted the great nobles in Russia to disappear, all serfs to become peasants, every peasant to have land, every peasant to be able to pay taxes, and all power concentrated in him.

    The Tsar asked craftsmen to make exquisite boxes, kept the book properly, and took it out to read a few pages when he encountered troubles, as if he could become a great Khitan emperor himself.  His sorrow lies in his hard work, and he doesn't have so many troubles when he just lies down.

    This man, a bit like Chongzhen, has been raising taxes all his life and suppressing uprisings all his life.  The more taxes are collected, the more frequent the uprisings, and then continue to collect taxes.

    Thanks to the excellent regional matching mechanism and the backward national government, some great nobles are dedicated to countering the rebellion, otherwise Tsarist Russia will be completely finished in the bad Little Ice Age just like Ming Dynasty!

    This book became Alexey's exclusive reading material.

    And far away in Italy, this book has gone crazy.  More than a dozen countries jointly banned it, but the more it was banned, the more famous it became. Even the nobles secretly read it, just wanting to know why this thing was banned.

    It is difficult to say how many states there are in the Italian region, but the six main forces have always been very clear.

    First, the Papal States.  mouth

    Regarding this peculiar country, the most classic evaluation is: Although the Pope is unable to unify Italy, he has enough power to prevent others from unifying it.  2 11]

    Second, the Principality of Milan.

    When other states in Italy were still in the city-state republic, Milan took the lead in realizing the autocracy of the lord.  seven 2

    Third, Florence.  { 16 ]

    The system of this state was constantly changing, and finally, with the support of Spain, it became a principality a hundred years ago.  Ren 11

    Fourth, the Republic of Genoa.

    This product is a vassal of Spain. A hundred years ago, the Spanish royal family went bankrupt and the German bankers lost everything.  Genoa took the opportunity to lend Spain a steady stream of acquisitions

    American silver ushered in a seventy-year-long golden age.  With the reduction of silver production in the Americas, the Spanish royal family went bankrupt many times, and Genoa also fell into decline.  1 2

    Fifth, the Republic of Venice.  Jen 8]

    About 200 industrial and commercial families constituted the oligarchy of Venice.  The chief administrative officer is elected, and the nobles and powerful citizens form a council, which is then handed over to the steward

    To deal with government affairs.  It has a large number of overseas territories and has fought the Ottomans for 90 years.  Sometimes truces, sometimes peace talks, sometimes cooperation, - all the while losing territory.

    In addition, the Pope issued an excommunication order against Venice due to the abolition of priestly privileges.  Although the Republic of Venice regards the excommunication order as bullshit, it also caused it to be banned by the government in Italy.

    Governance isolation.  Even though the excommunication order has been lifted through French intervention, political isolation persists.  Jen 3]

    While the states are isolating Venice, they also need Venice to resist Ottoman expansion.  Probably there is a rascal in the village, and the villagers don't want to play with him, but they try hard to play with him.

    I'm glad to see him fighting with the hooligans in the next village.

    Sixth, Naples.

    This thing belongs to the bargaining chip of the marriage between France and Spain. Both parties have suzerainty over Naples. It is either controlled by France or Spain. It is currently controlled by Spain.

    Spain is in control.

    55]

    It has a vast territory, a powerful navy, and a high degree of centralization.

    Among all the Italian states, Naples has the heaviest taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the exploitation of the middle and lower classes is the most serious.  Therefore, the subsequent Italian Unity-Revolutionary War,

    Be the first to see a wave of revolution in Naples.

    Naples City, - inside a leather shop.

    Antonio, the owner of the shop, said to the gathering: "We have summed up several reasons for the failure of the uprising more than ten years ago. First, the leaders of the uprising cannot act arbitrarily, otherwise it will cause

    Internal division; second, the French royal family is unreliable, they agreed to support the uprising, but they only want to usurp the fruits of our uprising; third, the Spanish king and governor cannot be trusted,

    The governor must be killed!"

    Naples is a kingdom whose king is held concurrently by the King of Spain.

    Thirteen years ago, the governor of Naples announced a tax increase, the fishmonger Masaniello led the riots, and the lawyer Jenoino secretly fanned the flames. The slogan of the riots was: "Spain

    Long live the king, we don't want taxes, the unpopular government (Governor) get lost.  "

    3]

    ?The Governor was forced to participate in negotiations and accept various demands. The fishmonger Masaniello was appointed "the most loyal leader of the people" and formed a people's government-

    Everything goes too well, and the fish monger is quickly corrupted.  He abandoned the initial appearance of the uprising, and after taking power, he acted arbitrarily, and even killed opponents at will.  The governor hasn't shot yet, man

    The civil government began to depose and arrest him, fled to a monastery and was killed.

    The lawyer who planned the uprising, as the new leader of the people,

    As a result, I wore a pair of trousers with the Governor.  After the death of a tyrannical fishmonger, Jing is regarded as a hero by the people, and then continues to expose

    A riot broke out, killing the usurping lawyer.  The new leader of the people continued to suppress the uprising, the common people continued to uprising, and the uprising wave spread to Sicily.  Jen 3

    An arms dealer became the leader of the people, and announced the establishment of the Republic of Naples, which secretly won the support of the French royal family.

    France directly dispatched the navy, and the French Duke of Guise was elected Duke of the Republic of Naples.  This old man has intensified his exploitation of the people, and the uprising has spread to all directions

    Square.  In the end, Spain dispatched a large army, the French duke ran away, and the leader of the people (arms dealer) was executed.

    Antonio the owner said:bsp; You can all make suggestions, let me draft the laws of the Republic, and then we will continue to adjust and modify

    The common people here really can't live on.

    Their king is also the king of Spain, and a governor is sent to govern. The oppression of the people is only a little better than that of the colonies.  Moreover, there are nobles here, and the common people face

    double oppression

    As for the nobles, they also faced suppression from Spain, and many nobles wanted to make a revolution.

    With the spread of this "Oriental Covenant", with the city of Naples as the center, the revolutionary trend of thought quickly spread to the whole country, and there were even revolutionary organizations in Sicily.

    More and more petty nobles and businessmen connive or support the revolution, and some even join in personally.  And with the accession of the nobles, the draft laws of the republic

    Also followed the amendment, the Republic protects the interests of the progressive aristocracy.

    7

    The nature has obviously changed, from a revolution of the whole people to a revolution of the bourgeoisie and citizens, and the majority of Naples peasants have been abandoned again.  2 26

    Just when Britain and France were marrying, the Naples Revolution broke out, known as the "Oriental Covenant" revolution in history.  Jen 5]

    This revolution was forced to be launched in advance, because the governor of Naples became alert, declared the revolutionaries to be treasonous parties, and dispatched troops to hunt them down.

    The uprising people rushed into the Governor's Palace, hanged the Governor, and then opened the prison to release the prisoners.

    On the second day of the revolution, the Republic of Naples was announced and the Naples People's Assembly was formed.

    mouth

    Antonio, the owner of the leather shop, was elected as the first consul of the republic.  Carlos, the lawyer, was elected the first speaker.  A large number of nobles and merchants, serving as members of parliament,

    ? Essentially stealing the fruits of the revolution.

    Immediately, revolutionary riots broke out in the major cities of Naples one after another.

    The nobles from all over the country formed the army of the Republic, and the merchants provided financial support, and gathered in the city of Naples urgently, because the Spanish army came from Sicily.

    Spain did not have many troops in Sicily, and was completely defeated by the People's Army of Naples.  Affected by this, part of the Naples navy rebelled and announced that it would join the Naples Communist Party.

    Peaceful country.

    The Republic of Naples initially gained a foothold, but splits appeared among the revolutionaries.

Lower-middle-level representatives should account for one-third of the original parliamentary seats

    Two, but now only one-third is left.  The Spanish king, who was in dire financial straits, could not send out a large army for an expedition.

    The king urgently borrowed from Genoese merchants for war, but those Genoese merchants had long distrusted the Spanish royal family, which had repeatedly gone bankrupt.  It's hard to raise part of it

    , The military expenditure was still not enough, and the King of Spain asked the Dutch businessman for a loan.

    The Dutch businessmen didn't borrow this time either. They have been cheated several times by the Spanish royal family's bankruptcy.

    Who can afford to default on debts as soon as they go bankrupt?

    As a result, the Spanish king could only increase taxes in the colonies, and Mexico and the Philippines were messed up.  The local colonial officials even disregarded the royal family and intensified their smuggling activities.

    Money to make up for the loss caused by the king's tax increase.

    It may take one to two years for Spain to suppress the revolution in Naples before it can form a good army.

    At the same time, King Louis XIV of France also set his sights on this place because he also has the right to inherit the King of Naples.  The Republic of Naples announced the abolition of the throne, the pair

    The king of France also had influence. Louis XIV even wanted to destroy it, and then declared himself the king of Naples.

    But once this is done, war with Spain is inevitable in the future, and Louis XIV dare not act rashly.

    The establishment of the Republic of Naples aroused violent repercussions in Italy, and the spread of the "Eastern Covenant" became even faster.  A revolution broke out in Sicily as well.

    Spain had to level with Sicily first

 Text 961 [SSS-level Great Emperor]

    ,

    Financially distressed Spain tried its best to suppress the Sicilian Revolution.

    Then there was no money at all, and the army could not be dispatched.  Naples can only be allowed to blockade the main port of Naples for a long time, trying to force Naples to dissolve the Republic.

    Even Spain sent diplomats to negotiate, allowing Naples to retain its parliament as long as the revolutionaries dissolved the Republic.  However, Parliament must govern jointly with the Governor,

    And the king of Spain is still the king of Naples.

    Some big nobles began to waver, but the big merchants resolutely resisted, and serious cracks appeared in the new republic.

    Spain has not yet raised enough military funds to dispatch the army, and two farces are staged at the same time.

    One is that the Spanish navy, which was in charge of blocking the port, went directly to smuggling, colluded with Genoese businessmen, and secretly traded with Naples, ignoring the king's blockade policy at all.

    No way, Naples belongs to the granary of Italy.  If the port is blocked for a long time, there will be famine in Genoa, Venice and other countries. At that time, many states will join forces to resist

    Spain is gone.

    The second is to find that Spain is unable to suppress, and the new republic begins to break out of civil war.  Jen 5]

    The first consul and the first speaker were all murdered by the great nobles.  The big nobles began to cleanse the parliament, which aroused fierce resistance from merchants, craftsmen, scholars, and minor nobles.

    For a full year of civil war, agricultural production was severely damaged.  Jen 6]

    The reduction in grain production in Naples directly triggered riots in Genoa and Venice.  1

    The third act of burlesque began.

    Merchants from Genoa and Venice contributed money and joined forces with Naples merchants to recruit mercenaries to fight against the great nobles.  The army of the great nobles was defeated, and the great merchants seized their property

    The minor nobles divided their lands.  Since then, the Congress of the Republic of Naples has been controlled by big businessmen and small and medium nobles.

    The revolution seemed to have succeeded, and the republic survived.  Jen 6

    The revolution seems to have failed, and the citizens and peasants are still under heavy oppression.  [ 9]

    When a revolution was brewing again in Naples, the parliament finally made a compromise to reduce the burden on the burghers.  However, the farmers were ignored, and they couldn't make trouble anyway.

    Jen 8

    Regardless of success or failure, the existence of the Republic of Naples has inspired revolutionaries in other countries.

    Even, there were uprisings in Paris.  5 91

    The incentive was that Louis XIV built the Palace of Versailles, which increased the burden on the French people.  The revolutionaries once besieged the Louvre, but were easily defeated by the palace guards. Louis + Four was so angry

    The nationwide arrest of revolutionaries - once caught, they will be exiled to overseas colonies without trial, which has rapidly increased the population of Quebec.  Jen 8

    The revolutionary wave spread from Italy to France, and from France to Spain.  There was a lot of trouble and it affected a wide range of people, but all of them were suppressed without exception.  Jen 1]

    Only the Republic of Naples still exists for special reasons, but the fruits of the revolution are also stolen by big businessmen and small and medium nobles.  [ 2]

    After making a fuss, it seems that farts are useless.

    The most obvious result is that those two books were banned throughout Europe, even Naples.  And incited the Pope to take action, saying that these two books blaspheme God,

    Anyone who prints, disseminates, or hoards will be burned to death.  Jen 6

    No one dared to discuss the relevant ideas publicly anymore, but they continued to spread in private.  twenty two]

    Especially the nobles held salons without any scruples.  The aristocrats praised the Chinese emperor while using "Da Tong Ji" as a talking point, which seemed to show their knowledge

    and trendy.  Then, France and Spain were married, and Louis XIV married a Spanish princess.

    After the marriage between the two countries, they each withdrew their border troops to reduce the military expenditure of both sides.  At the same time, the two countries joined forces to suppress the revolution and extradite revolutionaries who fled to each other's borders.

    Charles II expressed anger,

    It was agreed that Britain and France would cooperate against Spain, and Louis + IV seriously betrayed the Anglo-French alliance.

    2]

    Facing the accusations, Louis XIV did not give any response, and only asked the British diplomats who came to negotiate to bring back a newly edited "Biography of the Great Emperor of China".

    Charles II got the book and laughed after reading it: "Louis is a smart man."

    In the newly edited edition of France, the title of the book has canceled "King of Kings".  All background content about China's politics and society has been deleted.  Zhao Han becomes the Song Empire again

    ?The "Eastern Covenant" was changed to avoid the political rigidity during the period of revolutionary spread

    In the end, even the chieftain was not as good as the chieftain, and his political and military power was completely lost.

    When he was summoned by Zhao Han, Prince Hayi was already so happy that he almost forgot about his mission.

    Of course, what should be done is still to be done.

    After meeting with the Chinese emperor, Ha Yi did not reprimand the Governor of Palembang for his atrocities, but wept and said: "Your Majesty, Banten is a vassal state of the Celestial Dynasty and has not committed any crimes.

    Dan is a vassal state of the Celestial Dynasty, and the people of Wandan are also His Majesty's people, please Your Majesty-you must be the master for us!"

    Zhao Han said: "I already know about this matter. But it was not the order of the governor of Yecheng, but the spontaneous behavior of Han farmers. I have asked the governor to severely reprimand those

    Prince Hayi narrowly avoided, then heard the driver slow down his speech, and said to the Han people on the road: "Excuse me, let me go, let me go." 2 33]

    Prince Hayi wanted to cry very much. Not only was he not as good as the rich Chinese, he was even worse than the common people in China.  Jen 5]

    With the increase of foreigners, Nanjing people have long been accustomed to it.  I used to have to watch around, but now I only have contempt in my heart.It is strange to see that the huge urban middle class needs entertainment

    The first show is a riding and archery show.

    Several folk riders ran back and forth on their horses, made various thrilling moves, and even played the role of generals of the Three Kingdoms to fight one-on-one.  Jen 1]

    The second game is a polo match, where spectators can spend money to bet on which team will win.

    Next is the Cuju performance, which mainly shows the skills of playing ball.  As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, Cuju developed two routes, one is mainly to show the ball skills, and the other is to compete in scoring

    Mainly.

    Emperor Zhao personally improved the competitive Cuju rules, the volley goal was enlarged and placed on the ground, and a full-time goalkeeper was added.  2 8]

    After the Cuju performance is over, it will be a competitive Cuju competition.

    The audience has never seen this kind of Cuju, and they are completely unclear about the rules.  But I liked it after watching it, because the competition was extremely fierce, and the audience was very upset by several offsides.

    Why was a foul called when it was almost a goal? 7]

    Prince Hayi also likes playing cuju. He was lucky and made some money gambling.

    Nanjing is so comfortable, there are so many interesting things, Prince Hayi doesn't want to go back to Banten.  He has a lot of power in Banten, but that kind of life is too boring compared to Nanjing, and

    And the food is not as rich as Nanjing.

    After playing in the stadium for two consecutive days, Prince Hayi asked to see the emperor again. He wanted to reveal in advance that he was willing to betray the country.

    Of course, it can't be said so badly.

    It's not traitorous, it's included!

    Anyway, sooner or later the Wandan country will be over, the sooner the country is betrayed, the more valuable it will be.  As long as you have a good connection with the Celestial Dynasty, you can find an opportunity to kill your own father, expropriate and collect more money, and then bring huge

    One is to take the imperial examination and give up the title, but there is an upper limit to the rank of an official, and it is never possible to become a cabinet minister.  1 13

    Zhao Kuangbiao wanted to try the third way. After graduating from Jinling University, he went to Chongming Naval Academy.  Jen 8

    This military academy was built on Chongming Island, and some officials suggested changing the name of Chongming Island.  Zhao Han snapped back: "There was a theory of Chongming in the Tang Dynasty, did the Tang people know that there would be a great Ming Dynasty?"

    As for the eight guards, although they accompanied the Second Prince to the Naval Academy, they will no longer be in charge of protection as long as the Second Prince officially serves.  You can continue to be a guard in Nanjing,

    It is also possible to obey the arrangement and go to the navy as an officer.  Jen 8

    Zhao Kuangbiao didn't even want to enter the city. He walked from the pier-road to the base of the city wall, and wandered around along the city wall.

    Walking to the northeast corner outside the city, Cui Wenmao covered his nose and said, "It stinks!

    Wang Chongxi cheered up: "There must be a store that sells Jinling Shuangqi. I haven't eaten it for a long time. Let's go and try it."

    It was almost noon at this time, and coolies continued to come in batches, and some even came to eat with rich carts.  1

    "It's not Jinling Double??Sit around the table, there are not enough benches, so they stand by the table, and the guards also eat at the same table with the second prince.

    Zhao Kuangbiao scooped up a ball of duck intestines in the soup, and nodded repeatedly: "It smells bad, but it tastes good, but it's a bit spicy." Ren Dao

    The guard who bought the wine came back soon, and because the second prince asked for speed, he only bought a pot of ordinary wine.

    Zhao Kuangbiao thought for a while: "Since my son is going to the navy, why not make him King of the Sea."{29

    Zhao Han grinned after hearing this: "The King of the Sea doesn't sound good, just be named the King of Jin. The princes of the new dynasty don't have fiefdoms, so they can only receive their salary on time. I will give you a palace in the city.

    Zhao Kuangbiao really didn't think about this, he could hear that his father was not joking, but with a kind of encouragement and expectation.

    For a while, Zhao Kuangbiao didn't know how to make a choice, he repeatedly weighed the pros and cons and said: "Father, you have to think again.

    "Think slowly, don't worry, there is plenty of time, and it won't be too late to reply after ten years," Zhao Han stood up and said, "Heal your illness first, and eat less messy things in the future!"

    Zhao Kuangbiao drank the boiled salt water and took the medicine, his whole mind was in a mess.

    When his body became a little stronger, Zhao Kuangbiao borrowed files from Honglu Temple.

    To the west of Chittagong is the Indian subcontinent. As for the farther places, it is not within the scope of Zhao Kuangbiao's consideration.  [ 2]

    The east coast of India is full of Dutch colonial ports.  The west coast of India is full of Portuguese colonial ports.  Zhao Kuangbiao prefers the east coast for no other reason than the distance

    Among them, Tanjore is the richest, rich in rice and cotton.

    Madurai, on the other hand, is a bit trickier. It is one of the seven holy cities of Hinduism and the center of Dravidian culture.  Once invaded by paganism, it is very likely to attract the nearby Confederacy

    Zhao Kuangbiao said: "Father, my ministers need cavalry, two or three hundred cavalry is enough. Southern cavalry, the war horses are too short, and my ministers need tall horses.

    "The horses are dispatched from the Royal Racecourse, and the riders are recruited from the retired cavalry," Zhao Han suddenly thought of someone, "Sun Kewang is in Taiwan, you can let him be the leader of the cavalry. He

    When Sun Kewang received the news, he was both moved and hesitant.

    He is over forty years old, his son has given birth to a lot, and he has a lot of land in the mountains of Taiwan.  Although being poor is a bit poor, he is the boss here, and he doesn't want to

    Toss again.  2

    ?But that is the founding of the country, once successful, he will be the hero of the founding of the country, not better than being a village head in Taiwan?

    After pondering over and over again for a month, after the Lantern Festival, Sun Kewang set off with his second son.

    After waiting for a few days in Guangzhou, Jin Wang Zhao Kuangbiao came, and 300 retired cavalry had also arrived.  Although they are retired cavalrymen, their horses are from Nanjing Racecourse, and they are all selected from the best

    The god horse is a good horse.  Moreover, the armor is complete, and the whole body armor is scary.

    There are also some doctors, craftsmen, good doctors, etc., and a few low-level officials who volunteered to go to sea.

    As for Zhao Kuangbiao's classmates, there were six of them, and among them was Wang Chongxi who ate badly and went into the water together.

    The three dilapidated warships are Zhao Kuangbiao's naval team. Most of the sailors, sailors, and handymen are Cha Min recruited from the coast.

    When everyone arrived in Guangnan Province, a thousand Datong troops boarded the ship, escorted by five naval warships.  When arriving in Palembang, two more warships were added, accompanied by +many merchant ships.  these merchant ships

    It was loaded with grain and spices. The grain was bid for Jin Wang Zhao Kuang, and the spices were shipped to Ceylon to be sold to the Dutch.

    After passing through Malacca and Chittagong, two warships joined each other and sailed to Tanjore.

    The Dutch found them when the boat arrived at Maisuli Badam.  Finally, near Pulicat Port, the Dutch fleet came to intercept, but did not choose to go to war, because the Dutch

    The fleet lacks certainty of victory.  Zhao Kuang was escorted by +- warships, as well as three old-fashioned warships given to him by the emperor, and more than a dozen armed merchant ships accompanying the army for trade.  3

    When the two sides negotiated, Zhao Kuangbiao did not say where he was going, but only said that the Dutch fleet could follow, and he would know what the Chinese army wanted to do when the time came.

    When passing by the capital of the Jinji Kingdom, Zhao Kuangbiao docked for supplies, and sent several envoys into the city by the way to have friendly exchanges with King Jinji.

    A few years ago, the fleet of envoys passed by here. King Jinji was so weak that he sent several female slaves to the Chinese envoys.

    This country will be Zhao Kuangbiao's neighbor in the future, so we can build a good relationship first.  Because even if it wants to expand, it is not to fight Jinji, but to bully the weaker Madhu

    Lai.  After taking Madurai, they went to attack Mysuru, which was a Hindu country ruled by the sultan, and no one would come to help there.

    King Jinji didn't ask where they were going, thinking they were visiting Europe again

    King Jinji was very happy when he heard that the prince of China had arrived, and warmly invited the prince to the banquet. After the banquet, he gave Zhao Kuangbiao two female slaves.  1

    The Dutch fleet followed them all the way to Tanjore, and then the commander was dumbfounded.

    "Boom boom boom!

    Not only the Chinese warships fired at the city wall, but even the accompanying armed merchant ships smashed shells into the city (Chinese armed merchant ships can be equipped with up to six artillery pieces, and

    There are also restrictions on the caliber of the gun).  This port city is obviously defenseless.  Discovering the arrival of the Chinese fleet, they thought they could do business, and opened up the port to collect port taxes.

    King Ashwin, who was as fat as a pig, was having fun in the palace, when suddenly he heard the rumble of cannons.  He started to fight in a panic, and asked, "Is the Dutch calling?"

    Soon, a minister came to say: "Your Majesty, it is China and the Netherlands who have jointly called!"-

    The Dutch fleet watching the battle was mistaken for an accomplice of the Chinese fleet.

    "Run!" Ashwin was so flexible that he ran like a ball rolling.

    The minister hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, the army should be summoned to defend the city. I have gathered a group of soldiers, but many nobles are fleeing, and the soldiers are also fleeing. At this time, it is necessary

    I want you to appease me!"

    Zhao Kuangbiao nodded: "I think so too, when the city is stable, I will send troops to occupy the fertile land along the river.

    But he dare not go to war, even if he can defeat the Chinese navy, with the current poor infantry in the Netherlands, can he take down the tall and strong city of Tanjore? Chinese soldiers are not cowards

    A few days later, Zhao Kuangbiao sent someone to send diplomatic documents and officially informed the Governor of the Netherlands: Tanjore Kingdom will be renamed Jin Kingdom in the future, and the king will be His Royal Highness King Jin of China.  Tanjo

    Er (Tanjavur) City was renamed Taiwu City.

    Governor Joan was very speechless. If he knew that Tanjore could be easily conquered, he would have sent troops to occupy it long ago.

    But who would have expected it?

    The city walls are tall and strong, and there are more than 2,000 defenders in the city, as well as muskets and artillery, and tens of thousands of people can be recruited to defend at any time.  The king actually abandoned the city and fled

    Helping the nobles fight, they won't do much good after winning.

    It took only a few days for Sun Kewang to occupy the 30 miles along the river.

    Guan Xian, Zhao Kuangbiao’s middle school classmate and the head of the county yamen’s household section, went to the village on the bank of the river to sort out the information and report: “Your Highness, the information on Honglu Temple is too crude

    Road, I already have a general understanding of the original rural situation here.

    52

    "Tell me about it." Zhao Kuangbiao said.

    Guan Xian said: "The rural basic governance institutions are the village commune, one is called the Miraxi village commune, and the other is called the Chai Mingda village commune." [1]

    "Milasi Village is the most traditional. Hundreds of years ago, the Chola Dynasty moved its capital to Taiwu (Tanjore City).

    Order to build irrigation canals with the village community as the unit.  Although the Chola Dynasty has been destroyed, these villages have survived and spread to all parts of the country.  "

    "This kind of Miraxi village consists of one or several villages, and the managers are all of the Brahmin caste. They use the clan as a link to jointly control the power of the village, and there is no leader

    ? When encountering major issues, several families will discuss and resolve them.

    "Another kind of Qaidaminger village community has only been in existence for decades. King Nayak ruled this place and rewarded the land to officers and nobles - a village is a village community, and the unified

    The rulers are all Kshatriya officers.

    "Milasi Village is similar to the local gentry village in Ming Dynasty. Qaidaminger Village is similar to the military household village in Ming Dynasty."

    "Here, there are no landlords!

    "There are no landlords?" Zhao Kuangbiao asked, "Then who did we kill in the river bank village?" 3]

    Guan Xian explained: "What we killed was the village manager, who came from the Brahmin and Kshatriya castes. The land here belongs to the king, and the Brahmin or Kshatriya

    Carry out collective management of the village community.

    52

    "Then how to collect taxes? These village managers have no land, but they are in charge of the land. Could it be that they can fill their pockets arbitrarily?" Zhao Kuangbiao wondered.

    Before Guan Xian could speak, Wang Chongxi couldn't help sighing: "No wonder we can't find yellow books and fish scale books, and we can't count the population and land. We can only see a tax collection book.

    Every village.  The land system here is still the same as the well field system in the pre-Qin period! The princes are in charge of the cities, and the scholar-bureaucrats are in charge of the villages.

    Historically, the British colonists ruled Tanjore for 150 years, and it took hundreds of years to break the village communal land management system into a more advanced landlord ownership system.  Jen 4]

    You heard it right, landlord ownership is an advanced system here, which is more conducive to the collection of agricultural taxes by the British colonists!

    Zhao Kuangbiao was quite speechless. The territory he occupied was actually engaged in the well field system.

    Guan Xian continued: "Brahmans and Kshatriyas are nobles, and the rest of the people are divided into several major castes and dozens of small castes.

    Doing a certain business is just like the private households, tea households, stove households, yin and yang households, etc. in Ming Dynasty.  "

    "Each caste has its own customary rules, similar to the Chinese guild conventions. Conflicts within the caste, such as disputes between shoemakers and shoemakers, are all caused by shoemakers.

    The surname is resolved internally, and Brahmins and Kshatriyas can only mediate, and cannot dictate to the shoemaker industry.

    "Therefore, the villages in various places seem to be chaotic and disorderly, but the internal structure is extremely tight. They belong to the same big caste, but they belong to different small castes, and their occupations cannot be changed at will.

    If a shoemaker changes his career to become a carpenter, he will be boycotted by the carpenters and even expelled from the village.  "

    "There are also some small castes, which can change jobs at will. For example, laundrymen, hairdressers, etc., are collectively classified as servant castes. One day they wash clothes and live, and tomorrow they can be barbers."

    "The tenants here do not pay fixed land rent to the village, but they are all calculated according to the grain harvest. The land rent for paddy fields is about four-fifths, and the rent for early fields is about one-half-

    According to the situation, Zhao Kuangbiao and his subordinates were all stunned.

    The land rent for paddy fields is 80, and the land rent for early fields is 50. The tenants are not starved to death? Jen 3]

    "Can tenant farmers survive?" Wang Chongxi asked.

    Guan Xianjie; Sun Kewang stopped marching, and Zhao Kuangbiao asked the civil servants to measure the land along the river for dozens of miles.  According to the total area of ??the land, rewards are given to officials and officers and men. All Han people are landlords, and no land

    Tamil farmers in the land, uu reading &lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;</a  > target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a> will convert all  For private tenants.

    ?There are two kinds of laws in force across the country, one set is for the Han people, which is directly imported from China and modified according to the actual situation.  One set is for the natives, following caste laws.

    At present, Zhao Kuangbiao's actual control site is only a city and several miles of land along the river, which are organized into a county and several villages and towns.

    After the order was sent to the Quartet, the nobles in cities and villages all over the country pledged their allegiance one after another, and had no intention of resisting at all.  When the Chola Dynasty was destroyed, they were too lazy to

    Resist, now that Zhao Kuangbiao has destroyed the country of Tanjore, they will not resist either.

    The premise is not to change the caste system!

    As long as the caste system remains the same, they don't care who is the king.

    And what Zhao Kuangbiao will do next is to measure the land, reward farmland, build Confucian temples, and restore commerce.  Water conservancy needs to be built, and many irrigation canals are dilapidated, making Shutuo

    Luo and the untouchables work as servants, and they can eat as long as they don't starve to death.  If you don't pay attention, it doesn't matter if you starve to death.

    As far as the collective land management system of Brahmins and Kshatriyas is concerned, don’t try to collect too much agricultural tax in the future, most of them will be corrupted by Hindu nobles.

    It has to be changed, let Brahmins and Kshatriyas become landlords, and implement a more advanced landlord ownership system.  But it can't be changed now, because there are not enough officials, even if it is changed, it will be changed

    Without changing the medicine, I will still report the number of acres of land to you.

    Zhao Kuangbiao was speechless. He never dreamed that he would still see Ida Zhi in this life.

    (There is only one update today.)

    (After checking a lot of information, I found that the southern part of India is different from the northern part. Here in Tanjore, there is actually a village communal land ownership system, and there is not even a single landlord.

    When Zhang Dakun woke up in the morning, his wife was already cooking.  Jen 3]

    As a soldier of the Datong Army, Zhang Dakun's exercises are relatively regular.  After washing up, he played a set of military boxing at the door of the house, and returned to the house after practicing for a while.

    Several big families in the village were uprooted by Sun Kewang. Although Zhang Dakun was just an ordinary soldier, he was also assigned to a small house.  [ 4

    It is said to be a small house, but it can actually accommodate more than ten people, and there is also a special room for servants.

    Seeing Zhang Dakun returning to the house, his wife immediately brought food.

    There is no curry.

    The source of the word curry is the "sauce" of South India, which was borrowed and spread by the Portuguese, and currently belongs to the aristocratic dish of South India.  Moreover, the curry at this time is relatively clear

    Mild, only chili and a few spices, and no butter, onion and tomato.  [ 10

    In front of Zhang Dakun, there were only rice and stew.

    After serving the rice, the wife knelt aside, obviously waiting for her husband to eat first.

    "Come and eat together." Zhang Dakun beckoned.

    The wife smiled and sat down cautiously.  This situation was repeated every day. If Zhang Dakun didn't wave his hand, his wife would not dare to go to the table.  2 15

    Zhang Dakun is from Yunnan. He did not graduate from elementary school, so he learned carpentry in the village.  Farming when busy, working as a carpenter in free time, and being recruited as a farmer and soldier when he was a little older.

    Although farmers and soldiers do not receive military pay, they only take care of food during training, and they also take up slack time in farming.  But farmers in impoverished areas, instead of resisting, actively signed up.  Three-year farm

    After the military service period expires, they are eligible to enter the city to take the police examination. Regular divisions and patrol soldiers are also recruited from the peasants and soldiers-

    Ordinary people can't be peasants and soldiers. Zhang Dakun is of the same clan as the village chief, so he got the opportunity to be a peasant and soldier.  2 23]

    This kid was lucky. He only worked as a farmer and soldier for two years before being conscripted to be a civilian husband.  At that time, they attacked the Nguyen family in Vietnam and won without much fighting. The rest of the time was spent on pacifying the peasants

    Uprising, and this peasant uprising was triggered by the Ruan Dynasty.

    When Zhang Dakun was transporting grain and grass, he encountered a surprise attack by a peasant army. His grain transport team performed well.  Holding a spear, Zhang Dakun stabbed several enemies to death and rewarded him for his meritorious deeds

    To my hometown in Yunnan.

    With military merits, the family is even more picky when it comes to his marriage, and he has been picking for a whole year without success.

    At this moment, the retired soldiers of Guangnan Prefecture changed their jobs and stayed in Guangnan.  The recruits were all recruited in Yunnan and Guangxi. Zhang Dakun could write and count, and he had military merits, so it went very smoothly.

    Lili went to Quang Nam Province to serve as a soldier.  The marriage was delayed again.  Jen 2]

    Hearing that India can be a landlord and will give a settling allowance, Zhang Dakun immediately went to sign up to go to sea without the entanglement of his wife and children.

    Now, as expected, he became a landlord, and got 40 mu of land as he wished.  Jen 6]

    Zhang Dakun is very satisfied with this, they are all good fields by the river, even if there are a few acres that do not depend on the river, they rely on water diversion to irrigate the canal.  There is no need to cultivate by yourself, because there are

    The tenants of the land have to wait for the harvest of grain every year.

    But there is one thing that makes Zhang Dakun very upset,

    In other words, all Han landlords are unhappy.

    ?The Tamil farmers here don’t dig latrines, and just throw their excrement and urine everywhere. They don’t even know how to use it as fertilizer.  Of course, farmers here also compost, but only with cow dung

    Fertilizer, other human and animal manure is completely unnecessary.  Jen 2]

    After Zhang Dakun and other Han landlords got the land, the first thing they did was to ask their respective tenants to quickly dig latrines to store excrement.  those wild feces,

    Also collect it immediately.

    The untouchable tenants are very obedient, but the Sudra tenants don't do it, thinking that collecting excrement is the work of the untouchables.  Jen 2]

    Of the Qian Datong Army, five hundred were left to guard the city, and the rest returned to the countryside to supervise the tenants' harvest of grain.

    It has come to the rice harvesting season, and there will be grain output soon.

    Liu Datong not only has to be responsible for his own fields, but also has to help his comrades who stay in Taiwu City manage the land and food.  He is very busy all day and night now, but he is full of energy.

    Tian, ??it is all his own, and it will continue to increase in the future.

    It's just that the language barrier makes it too tiring to manage, so I can only use gestures and sticks to give orders.  Jen 6

    Fortunately, the villagers are very honest, they will be beaten and scolded without resistance.  The disadvantage is that these guys are lazy, let them dig toilets and compost, and they are willing to do things in person, - turn your back and start chatting together

    sky.  More than a dozen people dig a toilet, and they can dig for several days without being served with sticks at any time. It is estimated that they can't dig well in half a month.  2 11

    Composting techniques do not need to be taught, Tamil farmers know it themselves, but they only use cow dung.  Now we have to slowly get used to human and animal excrement, and it may take two or three years to change our minds.

    In the farmland of Siye, the tenants have been busy for a long time.

    There is no need to rush to harvest the grain, everyone is hardworking, and they also know the importance of the harvest season.

    As for the land rent, the Han people do not plan to change it, 80 for paddy field and 50 for early field.  After the landlord got the grain, he gave some of it to King Jin, and they didn't bother to care about the life and death of the peasants.  Just follow one principle, the Han people have more children, and let the local aborigines die slowly.  6

    After the harvest, about a month or so, Liu Datong, Zhang Dakun and others received the order to gather troops.

    However, it is closer to the villages of the Han people. The villages managed by several Brahmins, the amount of food handed over is not right, and the tax books are obviously less than before.  Jen 2]

    These Brahmins wanted to fool things when they saw that the Han people could not understand the language.  Villages farther away have not yet paid grain due to distance, and this trend must be killed.

    There are also Tamil officials who can speak Chinese under King Jin's command, and they often go to Nanyang to do business.  They were invited to serve as officials, responsible for translating official archives, and were often sent

    Go and mingle with the locals.

    Most of these people belong to the Vaishya caste.

    The king of Jin promised that as long as he became an official, three members of the family could speak Han, and let them be Han people in the future.  These Chinese-speaking Vaisya officials were immediately full of energy, because

    Because after becoming a Han Chinese, it means that the whole family has been raised by caste.

    Liu Datong ran to Taiwu City to report, and the battalion commander took them to collect taxes by force, and accompanied the army with a Tamil translator.

    Then, carry these heads to collect taxes, and the rest of the village nobles will be honest.

    In the village communities in the actual control area, there are still many fields that are not divided, and the grain produced in these fields is owned by the public.  Jen 11

    Zhao Kuangbiao sent a boat back this time, and had to go to Chittagong and Malacca to borrow boats.  Emperor Zhao said that in the first year when Tanjore was captured, the king of Jin would be given a quota of material assistance.

    Zhao Kuangbiao had to hurry up and bring the family members of officials and soldiers.  And get some more farm tools. There is no shortage of cattle here, but there is a shortage of iron plows, hoes and other items. Many tenants are

    Can't afford a plow.

    Next, immigrants will be recruited along the coast. When they go to India, they will immediately divide the fields. Each person will start with 10 mu of paddy fields and double the number of dry fields.  1 11]

    Chamin and citizens who don't know how to farm can also come here.  Those who are willing to share the land will share the land, and those who do not want to share the land will live in Taiwu City. As long as they can read and write, they can serve as officials.

    This policy is very attractive. Although you are far away from your hometown, you can become an official if you go there. You can become an official without graduating from elementary school!

    Moreover, no matter whether you have a wife or not, you can marry a wife and take concubines when you come here.  The more children you have, the better. Taking concubines and having children is to contribute to the country.  2 11]

    Even Zhang Dakun, an ordinary soldier, took another concubine after the rice harvest.

    He revealed the intention of taking a concubine, and the people in the village next door brought their daughters over one after another.  Instead of dowry, give dowry, only to marry the daughter to the Han nobles.

    Zhao Kuangbiao stood on the balcony of the palace and observed the temple in the distance with binoculars.

    The Brihadin Shivaro Temple, which means "the great master", is dedicated to Shiva.  There is a huge tower in the temple, 6341 meters high, which is the third tallest building in India.

    Both the temple hall and the temple tower are built of large blocks of granite without using any adhesives.  For hundreds of years, after many earthquakes, not only did it not collapse, even the wall was damaged.

    ? No obvious cracks were found.  The top of the temple tower is carved from two complete pieces of granite, each weighing 30 tons. It is hard to imagine how it was transported up.  seven 9

    Due to the open square inside the temple, it was requisitioned by the British army as a barracks in history, and it was returned to King Tanjore after more than 30 years of use.

    After taking back the temple, King Sefoji II immediately cleaned the temple's dirt and held a grand celebration ceremony.

    At that time, the British Viscount Valencia happened to be visiting Tanjore and was invited by the king to participate in the celebration.

    The Viscount Valencia is a friend of the king. He expressed his doubts in his notes: "This king was forced into exile since he was a child and was raised by British missionaries. He is familiar with Western literature,

    He is proficient in European languages ??and has extraordinary talents in philosophy, poetry, mathematics, and dance.  If in Europe, he must be - a good scholar, how could he become a superstitionist in India?

    From this, Viscount Valencia, come to the conclusion: this ignorant land conquered by civilization has never given birth to any flower of civilization worthy of scrutiny and praise! Jen 2]

    Zhao Kuangbiao put down the binoculars and said: "The Zhuluo Dynasty hundreds of years ago was really powerful. It not only dug irrigation canals along the river, but also built such majestic temples and towers."

    Wang Chongxi, who was standing next to him, said:

    "It was so hundreds of years ago, and it is still the same after hundreds of years. It can even be said that it has been going backwards. I heard that the irrigation canals along both sides of the river have been almost

    It hasn't been repaired for a hundred years.  Only when there is serious damage, each village will repair its own section.  Even if a small section of irrigation canal is repaired, it can be completed in two or three months, but it still takes a long time

    several years.  "5 1

    Zhao Kuangbiao said: "I think it's because of the caste system. The nobles in various villages don't regard the land as private property, but help the king manage it. Their minds are all used to enrich themselves.

    On the sac.  And the people are even less persistent, and no one is willing to repair the things of the public.

    "But during the Chola Dynasty, there was also a caste system, and the irrigation canal was built at that time." Ma Li said.

    ?Wang Chongxi said: "It's because the imperial court has no heart. Anyway, life is going well, so they don't bother to build water conservancy projects. In fact, it is easy to levy corvees in villages under the well field system.

    There is no need to pay wages, just take out some food.  "Jen 2]

    Zhao Kuang nodded and said: "Indeed."

    The dilapidated water conservancy facilities here in Tanjore, in another time and space, had to wait for the thousand or so remnants of the Green Church to seize power and establish a country before they could be repaired.  Regardless of high or low,

    The whole village was demoted to slaves, and then they were whipped to repair the water conservancy.

    Guan Xian said:  Rains are due in a few days, and Tamil officials say that after the first light rains, it is time to plant summer rice and wait for the rainy season.  In the real rainy season, unless the big

    The water floods the farmland, otherwise there will be no topdressing at the heading stage.  It is easy to grow rice here, unlike the exhausting work in the Celestial Dynasty.

    Wang Chongxi said: "So, the farmers here are too idle. And during the slack period, the diligent ones can only do some part-time jobs, and the lazy ones lie at home every day until the sun comes out.

    Come out and lie down.  Farmers here are farmers and cannot do carpentry work, because carpentry is another occupation of a small caste.  "

    "Tell me about it." Zhao Kuangbiao said.

    A suitable excuse to send troops.  "

    "The excuse for sending troops is readily available. The city of Canmey did not obey the king's order and was unwilling to pay the city's commercial taxes." Marie said.

    Zhao Kuangbiao asked: "How many troops are there in Canmei City and its surrounding areas?

    Sun Kewang said: "I have found out clearly that there are only a few hundred soldiers in the city. Once you want to fight, you must be fast, and you can't let the nobles go to the village to gather troops. Otherwise, it is not a few hundred soldiers.

    Recognizing Portugal's sovereignty over Brazil, Portugal paid 4 million reais in compensation to the Netherlands, to be paid in installments over 16 years.

    Only 15 kilometers away from this magnificent Green Palace is the Meenakshi Temple, one of the holy places of Hinduism.  There are four gate towers around the temple, the shortest is 45 meters, the tallest

    50 meters high.

    1j

    The Green Sect palace seems to want to compete with the temple, covering a vast area and exquisite architecture.  It's a pity that in another time and space, it became the granary and arsenal of the British. After hundreds of years, only the

    Leave a small portion.

    King Udaginayak received the Dutch envoy Rheinster in the palace.

    Leinster said a lot, but the king was unmoved. He continued to say: "The Chinese are different. Whether it is Portugal or the Netherlands, we only think about

    Get ports to do business with.  But China has tens of millions of people, and they not only do business, but also occupy the land here.  There will be more and more Chinese people, and the land of Tanjore cannot

    Satisfy their appetite, and then they will come to attack Madurai.

    Udaji Sultan said: "China is far away and very powerful. I don't want to provoke them. Of course, if the Chinese invade Madurai, of course we will rise up and fight back."

    Resist and drive the Chinese out of here completely.  "

    "It will be too late by then," Leoster said, "there are more and more Chinese people, and when they attack, no country can resist them.

    Sultan Udaji asked: "Will the Netherlands send troops together?"

    Rheinster said: "The Ceylons are rebelling against the Dutch. Soldiers need to quell the rebellion. We are short of troops and cannot send troops together for the time being, but we can help."

    "What help?" Udaji Sultan asked.

    Leinster said:

    "300 matchlock guns, two cannons, and some ammunition are sold at the previous 30% discount.

    Udaji Sultan sneered: "I thought it was a free gift."

    Leinster said: "The king of Mysore in the north of your country has agreed to send troops. Prince Alikamedu of Tanjore has also agreed to send troops. If His Majesty sends troops together, China will

    The Chinese will be attacked from three sides.  At that time, the city of Tanjore and its surrounding areas will belong to His Majesty.

    Sultan Udaji suddenly felt a little moved. It was the rich city of Tanjore and the fertile river delta.

    It's just that his father built a majestic palace and tossed the whole country for more than ten years. The domestic people's livelihood is poor, and he has no ability to expand abroad.  Udaji has only been on the throne for two years, barely

    settled the domestic nobles,

    It is unrealistic to dispatch an army at this time.

    However, as a young sultan, Udaji has the desire to expand his territory, and the bait given by the Dutch is also irresistible.

    "I promise to send troops, but you have to send the muskets and artillery first," Udaji said, "I will pay half of the price first, and the balance will be paid after the war is won."

    "Of course." Leinster smiled.

    Both sides are playing tricks!

    Udaji wants to wait and see after getting the arms, when the time comes, the border between Chen Bing and the two countries.  If the Chinese are really besieging, he will take advantage of the situation and kill them.  If the Chinese were not under siege, he would

    Weng Yingqi continued: "Since the enemy is scattered, we should attack the most threatening one. Madurai is the closest to Taiwu City. If we send troops elsewhere, Taiwu City will be extremely dangerous."

    It is possible that it will be besieged by the Madurai army.  We should quickly defeat the Madurai army, and then immediately transfer troops back to Taiwu City.  At that time, the coalition forces will have different ideas, and they may decide to fight on their own.

    Zhao Kuangbiao looked at his classmates: "What do you think?"

    "What General Weng said is very true." The civil servants replied in unison.

    Everyone came from afar to establish the state of Jin. Their foothold is not stable, they are surrounded by enemies, and there are not even enough officials. At this time, it is impossible to have civil and military disputes. They all think about how to survive the crisis smoothly.

    Zhao Kuangbiao asked again: "How about quickly defeating the enemies of Madurai?" Ren 11

    Lin Chengzong, the commander of the navy with only three old ships available, said: "Madurai's navy is very weak, and its capital is by the sea, so troops can be transported directly to its capital.

    Sun Kewang said: "If Madurai has not yet dispatched troops, he will besiege the city to fight for reinforcements and kill the army of King Qin. If Madurai has dispatched troops, the infantry will go to surround the capital by boat, and the cavalry will come from

    Crossing the border by land.  The enemy's country is surrounded, and the frontline troops must return to the army to serve the king, and the cavalry can wait for the opportunity to follow and attack!" Ren 1]

    Weng Yingqi said: "General Sun has thought about it carefully, and he can fight like this."

    "Okay, that's it," said Zhao Kuangbiao, "Go back separately, prepare food and grass, and recruit peasants. When the rainy season is over, send troops immediately, and advance by sea and land

    Under the tandem of the Dutch, the various forces made an appointment to send troops immediately after the rainy season.

    It's almost time to harvest the summer rice, so I will definitely harvest the grain first.

    At this rate, I am afraid that we will have to wait until late autumn to complete the assembly.

    The fastest mover was the prince of Canmei City.  These guys are nominally subordinate to Zhao Kuangbiao, and their interests are at stake, so they are very motivated, and they are busy working with the coalition forces to kill the Chinese army.

    Chinese.

    Whether it is Sun Kewang, an old thief, or Weng Yingqi, a general of the Datong Army, they have fought for half their lives, and now they are all wrong when they come to India!

    The imagined situation did not come at all.

    In this case, according to the wishes of the civil officials, it is most reasonable to clean up the princes of Canmei City first.  1]

    Who would have expected it?

    As the saying goes, speed is the most valuable weapon.

    Zhao Kuangbiao's infantry, cavalry, and naval commanders, in order to gain more time, prepared one by one during the rainy season.  The peasants in the village were whipped and faced the sun in the rain

    Wucheng gathered, and even more than 20 people died of cold and fever.

    When Weng Yingqi led the infantry and civilians, landed on a sea boat, and then transferred to an inland river boat to arrive outside the city of Madurai, the sultans here were scared out of their wits.

    "After less than half a month's attention, why did the Chinese come here?" Sultan Udaji was completely at a loss.  Jen 11

    This guy is young and energetic, and somehow he still has some responsibility. He personally leads the guards to defend the city, and even mobilizes the citizens to stand up together.

    As for Sun Kewang, all the cavalry under his command were lightly armored and rushed to the border with only dry food.  When they saw villages, they killed people and robbed them of food. They looted several villages in a row, but they couldn't see the enemy at all.

    The shadow of the army.

    Beforehand, the three generals Weng Yingqi, Sun Kewang, and Lin Chengzong repeatedly discussed and formulated a detailed plan.

    But their military plan, when it comes to the Indian battlefield, is completely like a joke, all predictions—— all invalidated.

    Sun Kewang didn't care so much, anyway, he robbed villages all the way, and killed anyone who was dressed and lived in a good house.  The more Brahmins and Kshatriyas he kills, the more the base of Madurai

    The more chaotic the stratum's rule, the next few years don't even think about sending troops to fight against Jin——

    Killing and looting all the way, Sun Kewang led the cavalry and ran to join Weng Yingqi's infantry. The King Qin's army of Madurai had not yet appeared.  Jen 1]

    "Between his mother, what the hell are you fighting?" Sun Kewang couldn't help scolding his mother.

    Weng Yingqi was also a little speechless, pointing to the city and said: "It is planned, if the enemy does not send troops, we will besiege the city and fight for reinforcements. But the enemy's reinforcements are delayed, so we are here

    Wasting time? Time has dragged on for too long, what should His Royal Highness besieged in Taiwu City?" Seven 4

    "How do I know?" Sun Kewang looked depressed.

    At this moment, an officer came to report: "Two generals, the enemy is going out of the city to fight!

    Weng Yingqi and Sun Kewang looked at each other in blank dismay, first bewildered, then overjoyed.

    Several city gates opened wide, and one team after another of the enemy troops left the city.

    There are even more than a dozen war elephants that are kept in the city.

    Sultan Udaji also marched in person. The king was full of ambition and felt that he would win this battle.

    He has more than 600 musketeers and nearly a thousand elite infantry using cold weapons.

    In addition, there are hundreds of cavalry and more than ten war elephants.  Kshatriya, Vaishya and Sudra in the city,

    Some were also temporarily recruited and trained into an army of tens of thousands.  In addition, there is also a navy in the lake, dispatching hundreds of inland river boats.  Jen 5

    On the Chinese side, only 600 infantry left the city.  Of the remaining 400 infantry, 300 were left to defend the city, and 100 were scattered to manage the village.

    Another 300 cavalry units and 100 naval soldiers.

    Only these thousand soldiers are the real soldiers!

    The rest are all Sudra civilian husbands, and more than 2,000 people have been recruited. The tasks are to transport luggage, help build camps, help soldiers wash clothes, and so on.

    "Dare to come out; The difference in military organization between the two sides is too great.

    The Han army can quickly form a five-member team with just a few orders.  As for Madurai's temporary army, the entire team will have to work hard for a long time, and once it becomes chaotic, it will be impossible to command.

    "Bang bang bang bang!

    More than 30 five-member teams approached and shot freely, then inserted bayonets and rushed forward.

    The 4,000 enemy troops who had crossed the river were all disintegrated within a few minutes.  They didn't dare to fight with the Han people, but they snatched boats from themselves fiercely.

    Trampled to death a lot.

    Seeing this situation, Sultan Udaji's lungs were about to explode.

    He himself rushed to the river on horseback and yelled: "All come back and reorganize to cross the river! Don't just pass here, go to the downstream to cross the river first, and then go to attack after forming a formation

    Enemy camp!

    Sudan's personal guards hurriedly followed, and more than a dozen elephant soldiers stood by.

    The river surface has long been a mess, and thousands of small boats are at a loss, and finally rowed to their own positions in a mess.

    "Da da da da!"

    In the midst of this chaos, Sun Kewang came to kill with three hundred cavalry.  They took off all their armor, and only wore single clothes to carry their horses across the river, and then went upstream regardless of life and death

    Charge.

    By the river, nearly ten thousand enemy troops were in a mess, and even soldiers hadn't returned from the boat.

    These guys had been frightened for a long time. When they heard the sound of horseshoes, they turned and fled subconsciously. Sun Kewang's cavalry was still two miles away from them.

    "Array, array!"

    The commander-in-chief of the Madurai Army is a veteran who fought in the Nayak Civil War.

    Seeing that the temporarily recruited army was unable to command, he immediately rushed to Udaji: "Your Majesty, let the Sudanese Guards and the militia keep a distance, and don't be swept away by the rout.

    Udaji said in a panic: "You come to take full command!

    This veteran can still fight, leading the cavalry to kill the routs along the way, and escorting the king and the Sudanese guards from the battlefield.

    Seeing that the Sudanese guards were still in disorder, Sun Ke simply ignored them and went straight to kill nearly ten thousand defeated soldiers.  Three hundred Han cavalry, nearly 10,000 routs smashed through, and some routs moved towards the city

    Running in the direction, some defeated soldiers jumped into the river in fright.  Jen 2]

    The veteran said: "Your Majesty, your Sudanese Guards have been frightened!" Ren 1

    Udaji turned around and saw his guard soldiers, all of them turned pale with fright.

    These Sudanese guards are all Kshatriyas.

    It is still possible to bully ordinary people, but they basically don't train much, and they have never really fought.  Seeing that the battlefield is full of routs, even if they have the upper hand, they dare not go to the battlefield at all.

    The king ran fast with his guards, and Sun Kewang's cavalry was separated by the rout, and they couldn't chase after him for a while.  He simply chased his car back to the city, but saw that the city gate was closed

    When Weng Yingqi, Sun Kewang, and Lin Chengzong returned to Taiwu City with their goods, food and the princess, it was already the season of harvesting summer rice.

    Jayaraman, the Tamil prince in Canmee, had already rebelled.  But this guy didn't dare to kill directly, but went to attack the northern villages, forcing those Brahmins and Kshatriyas to fight together.

    Let's make trouble together.

    The village nobles who had surrendered to Zhao Kuangbiao were somewhat reluctant to rebel.  After all, the new Han king will not interfere with the northern region, as long as the tax evasion is not too much,

    I don't even bother to come over to force collection, the nobles of the village community can embezzle more food than before.  Jen 2

    This is a good king, and the village nobles still support Zhao Kuangbiao very much.

    Facing Jayaraman's soldiers, nobles from all over the world had to follow suit.  On the contrary, those sudras who worked part-time were very happy. They did not have stable jobs and were temporarily conscripted as soldiers.

    No military pay, but at least some daily rations.  Seven 3]

    In this way, the Tamil prince Jayaraman pulled out an army of tens of thousands.  Due to the astonishing momentum, the prince of another city in the north also led his troops to join the rebellion.

    A quarter of the country's land is occupied by these guys, and there is almost no resistance.

    As for the kingdom of Mysore in the west, the king led an army of 20,000 troops through the mountain pass and quickly occupied a quarter of the country in the west.  These guys have a good idea, the army crossed the line

    The time coincided with the grain harvest season, so it was clear that they were here to grab grain! Ren 3]

    "Your Majesty, send troops quickly!" Peshra knelt down and cried.  twenty two]

    Peshla, the prince of the western border city, fled all the way to Taiwu City, crying and begging Zhao Kuangbiao to send troops.  Jen 1

    Zhao Kuangbiao asked: "You said that the army of Mysore, after occupying the city, apart from looting property, they just tore down the city walls?"

    Peshra said: "They not only plundered goods and demolished the city walls, but also kidnapped the nobles' wives and daughters!"

    Peshla, a prince and nobleman, originally did not intend to meddle, but only wanted to keep his own territory.  The Mysore army passed around the city, and when Peshra relaxed his vigilance, he came back suddenly

    Break through the city.  Peshra fled with more than a dozen noble knights, and his family was all captured.

    Zhao Kuangbiao inquired about the process in detail and asked the man to go down to rest.

    Wang Chongxi speculated: "The army of Mysore obviously did not want to expand the territory by doing this. It was purely here to plunder, otherwise it would be impossible to tear down the city wall in a hurry."

    Marley looked at the map in front of him. This map was very simple and was found in the Tanjore Palace: "According to the local nobles, over the past ten years, the land of Mysore

    has tripled in size.  Today, the country is surrounded by mountains, and the whole country is a big basin.  If they don't expand and the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, they are very safe.  If continue

    If it continues to expand, it will fall into successive years of foreign wars.  Unless the king of this country wants to destroy us and Madurai, he will not annex new territories.  "Jen 5]

    Guan Xian said: "Then let them continue to rob, let's quell the civil strife first." Ren 1

    "Yes, let's put down the civil strife first," Wang Chongxi said: "These people robbed and killed along the way, and demolished the city walls everywhere.

    Resist.  The fiercer the Mysore army robbed, the more the local nobles turned to the court.  And the rebellious army in the north treats the nobles kindly, coercing the local nobles to join the rebel army, that is our confidant

    Trouble!"

    Zhao Kuangbiao asked: "What do the three generals think?

    Weng Yingqi said: "I agree with the views of the two gentlemen, we should first pacify the internal strife in the north, and then deal with the foreign enemies in the west.

    Sun Kewang has a different opinion: "The rebel nobles in the north are just a group of local chickens and dogs. They haven't fought for many years, and there are not many elites. Most of the soldiers

    are temporarily recruited farmers.

    And after making trouble for so long, I dare not go south for a long time, and have been in the place of disaster.  In contrast to the Mysore army in the west, this country has expanded its territory for more than ten years

    Three times, all veterans who have been on the battlefield.  "

    After thinking about it carefully, Weng Yingqi said: 'That's right, the rebellion in the north can be resolved easily.  At this time, you should deal with the strong enemy first.  When we defeat the powerful enemy, Bei

    Those rebellious nobles around the corner, upon hearing the news, are afraid that they will have internal strife.

    When Wang Chongxi heard what the two generals said, he also began to understand it in this way, and added: "You can send envoys to contact the army of Mysore and make a dangerous move.

    The look of fear.  Tell them, we have to quell the civil strife first, let them set a price, give more?Now it has become a material transfer station, stolen by the country of Mysore

    Thick smoke rose outside the town every day, and the people who starved to death, the slaves who died of exhaustion, and their corpses were moved outside the town - their brains were burned.  5 1

    About 2,000 enemy troops are stationed here, all of them are elite, responsible for guarding the property.

    These guys don't even bother to set up camp.

    It is true that their dispatch of troops went too smoothly, the main force had already fought there, and this place belongs to the absolutely safe rear.  They captured the townspeople and used them as slaves to deliver supplies,

    I live in a residential house in the town.  Some soldiers were also sent to patrol, but not to warn the enemy, but to prevent slaves from rebelling or fleeing.

    Sun Kewang didn't even bother to cover his whereabouts, so he rested for a while a few miles away, and then went straight to Adul Town under the leadership of the guide.

    The guide was that Peshra, whose city was taken, his treasures emptied, his wife and daughter robbed.  Now Yi is full of anger and is absolutely loyal to Zhao Kuangbiao, as long as he is not allowed to go

    Die, let him do whatever.

    In broad daylight, hundreds of cavalry trotted over, and the slaves transporting goods along the way just looked at them blankly.

    For every hundreds of slaves, there is a small army guarding them.  The army does not need much, a few soldiers can manage hundreds of slaves, and these slaves have no courage to resist.

    The Mysore soldiers who were in charge of escorting the goods thought it was their own cavalry.

    There is no way to report back to the town.

    Most of the 2,000 enemy troops stationed in the town enjoy themselves in the town, and only a few hundred people really do things.  1

    In addition to the 300 Han soldiers, there were more than 100 noble cavalry who followed Sun Kewang and rushed to the outside of the town.

    In broad daylight, the enemy generals were not even wearing armor, and they were drinking with a gang of noble officers.  Hearing the shouts of killing outside the town, they stood up drunk and waited until they were sure that the enemy was coming

    Only then hurriedly ran to look for his armor-

    The soldiers were not damaged, and the town was taken.

    Sun Kewang said to Peshra: "You organize all the people here (enemy slaves) into an army, and let them guard the property. The rest of the nobles, along the enemy's grain road,

    Come back with me!"

    The food road of the Mysore army was cut off in this way, and there were only a few hundred cavalry, and they quickly unplugged one grain transportation station after another.

    And the king of Mysore in the front just gathered the looting army and wanted to destroy the aristocratic coalition army of Jin.

    "Your Majesty, there are enemies behind us, and the grain transportation channel along the river has been cut off!"

    "How many enemies are there?"

    "I don't know, there may be several thousand, or there may be tens of thousands!" "Nonsense, there must not be thousands, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago. Don't move forward, everyone will fight back with me!

    The spies who were in charge of observing the situation immediately went back to inform the coalition forces of the nobles, saying that King Jin's army had won and that the Mysore invaders had completely fled.

    The local nobles were inexplicably excited, and led the army to chase after them.

    The king, Dota Wodeya, does have two brushes.  The coalition forces of the nobles of the Jin State hesitated to move forward, so he simply withdrew his troops while the food road was cut off, and sent the vanguard to rush back, trying to open up the food road behind him.  At the same time, he lured the noble allied forces to chase after him, and he led the main force to kill the carbine.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The vanguard sent a few cavalrymen back to report: "Your Majesty, the warehouse of Arum Babur was burned, and the food, spices, cotton cloth were all burned to ashes, and even the gold and silver were melted all over the ground.  Yes." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Da Da Wodeya was full of anger when he heard that, he snatched all these goods with his own ability!  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    After thinking about it, Da Wodeya planned to speed up the march.  Anyway, the coalition forces of the nobles of the Jin Kingdom were destroyed, and there would be no danger any more. It was enough to leave 3,000 people with slaves to transport supplies, and the rest of the large force went all out to chase down the enemies who blocked the food road.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    As for how many enemies there are, no one knows, maybe there are thousands of Chinese troops.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The defeat of the aristocratic coalition forces had already made Da Wodeya relax his vigilance, and at this time he finally chose to divide his troops.  He asked his son to command 3,000 troops, and slowly escorted the luggage with slaves.  With more than 10,000 troops and grain transport ships, he accelerated towards Sun Kewang.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    He passed through several transfer stations in a row, but Sun Kewang burned them all, and he was so angry that Da Wodeya chased him faster and faster.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The prince who stayed behind to escort the luggage was named Chika Dwaraja Wodeya.  This guy whipped the slaves all the way, but the speed couldn't be increased, so he could only walk slowly.  He had only 3,000 soldiers, but nearly 10,000 slaves transported his supplies.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    In the evening, stop to set up camp.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The work of setting up the camp was also handed over to the slaves, and three thousand soldiers were sent out to be guarded, while Chica Wodeya sat down to rest.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Weng Yingqi, who had been dormant in the southwest mountain village for many days, also dispatched with his infantry at this moment.  When he got the news at noon, he immediately set off from the mountain village, marched for more than 30 miles in one afternoon, cut down trees to make a raft to cross the river, and then followed the traces left by the enemy in pursuit.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Such a fast march was unimaginable for Chica Wodeya.  This prince has also been on the battlefield before, but where has he seen troops that can march by force?  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    After the slaves set up camp, they were divided into several groups and slept outside the camp. Only soldiers, livestock and luggage could stay in the camp.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Weng Yingqi's infantry were further downstream, eating dry food to recover their strength.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The sky is getting dark and night is falling.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Hundreds of Mysore soldiers patrolled outside the camp, watching out for the enemy and guarding the slaves.  These slaves were all captured Jin people, and they would run away if they were not careful.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The Kshatriya officer in charge of patrol felt very boring, so he sat down against the wall and took a nap by himself.  The lower-level Vaishya officers also went to rest elsewhere, and only the Sudra soldiers were responsible for patrolling.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    &amp;lt;a id=&amp;quot;wzsy&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="https://www.&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt  ;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&quot;" target="_blank">https://www.&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt  ;/p&amp;gt;&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="https://www.&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;  lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">https://www.&amp;qThe goods are gone.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Night raids are rare in India. Most of the soldiers are Sudras, and a small half are from the Vaishya class.  What kind of meat do they usually have?  Many suffer from night blindness, making it impractical for such soldiers to operate at night.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    After resting for a while, when the horse regained its strength, the prince took several officers to ride to find his father.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "How could the luggage be gone?" Da Da Wodeya couldn't believe it.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Facing his father's questioning, Chica Wodeya bowed his head and said: "The enemy army launched a sneak attack at night, and the slaves went crazy, and dispersed my troops." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "How many enemies are there?" asked Dawdya.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Prince Chika said: "I don't know." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Dodo Wodeya suppressed his anger: "Get out, wait for the punishment." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    There were more than 16,000 people in Mysore's army, and there was enough food and grass at first, but the prince's entire army was wiped out. Now there are only some food ships left with food and grass.  At most, I can last another half a month, and then everyone will starve to death here!  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The king ordered the whole army to advance quickly, and he didn't want to get back the property, so he hurried to the mountain pass, and his own country was crossing the valley.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    A bloated army of more than 10,000 troops cannot survive a small group of elites.  Weng Yingqi was gradually catching up to the mountain pass, which was still tens of miles away.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "How many enemy troops are there?" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Only a few hundred." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Da Da Wodeya's face was cloudy and uncertain. He was frightened by the elusive Han army, and now he felt that there was something wrong with everything.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    I have more than 16,000 people, but the other party has only a few hundred people.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Hundreds of enemy troops, swaggeringly chasing after them, could they be bait?  Maybe there is an army ambushing in the rear, maybe the enemy is just delaying time, and more enemy troops are encircling.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    After much deliberation, it is better to return to the mountain pass as soon as possible, so that it will be easy to fight or retreat.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The king said to his younger brother: "Chama, lead the cavalry to stop the enemy. Even if you defeat the enemy, you can't chase too far. Once you encounter the enemy army, hurry back to the mountain pass to join!" &amp;lt;/  p&amp;gt;

    There are not many cavalry in southern India, and only a few hundred cavalry were brought out this time.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The king continued walking with a large army, ignoring the hundreds of enemy troops behind him.  He firmly believed that this was a bait, not the main force of the enemy army at all, even if he ate them all, he would be in danger.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Chama Wodeya, who has been on the battlefield for a long time, led the cavalry and rushed over.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The two sides have the same number, but they are cavalry, so they can win easily.  He divided half of the cavalry to circle around, and then charged from both sides, but saw that the enemy formed a strange hollow square formation.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    In the first wave of charge, Xilihutu failed.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The second wave of charge still failed.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    All the cavalrymen who fled back looked terrified.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Chama Wodeya asked: "What's going on? They've all rushed close, why are they running around the enemy?" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The subordinate officer replied: "The enemy's formation is not chaotic, the front of the musket has a vertical blade, and the horse avoids it and refuses to charge forward." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Useless stuff!" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Chama Wodeya went into battle in person, except for the side by the river, the other three sides rushed together.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Bang bang bang bang!" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The guards around Chama Wodeya fell, but he himself rushed closer and closer.  Finally, only a few steps away from the enemy, he raised his spear and prepared to fight. He believed that the enemy must be in a disorderly formation when facing the cavalry charge.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Suddenly, the horse under his crotch was disobedient, and faced the bayonet formation, it automatically slowed down, and then avoided the bayonets and walked around the formation.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Bang bang bang bang!" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Two or three meters away, a bullet hit, and the royal family of Mysore fell from his horse and fell to the ground.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Of the hundreds of cavalry, less than 200 fled back.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    When the king heard the news, he was even more frightened by the fighting power of the Han people, and was so frightened that he abandoned the excess supplies and accelerated his march.  He had a hunch that if he didn't leave, he would be surrounded by the army.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The army of bullshit, Zhao Kuangchen's men only have this few people, the king is purely scaring himself.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Weng Yingqi repelled the cavalry, instead of continuing to pursue, he retreated to find his donkey.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    These hundreds of donkeys were captured during night raids, and they were used to carry food along the way.  The weather is too hot here, he doesn't want to leave during the day, but chases along the river bank at night.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    As for the small town in Taniguchi, the goods and food had long been removed by the slaves. Sun Kewang led a few hundred cavalry to observe the situation in the direction of the town from afar.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    King Mysore forced to leave, but no one could stop him.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    ,

    Weng Yingqi either commanded the Datong Army, or commanded the peasant troops composed of farmers and soldiers.

    Leading a group of miscellaneous soldiers to fight, Weng Yingqi has no experience.  Therefore, Weng Yingqi did not report any expectations for the coalition of thousands of nobles, but let them lose the battle.

    The enemy commander was really fooled. After defeating the noble coalition army, he returned to the army boldly and on his way. The main force and the logistics troops soon separated.

    Weng Yingqi took the opportunity to defeat the enemy, not only captured a large amount of luggage, but also captured thousands of food slaves.  These slaves are all Jin people captured by the enemy along the way.

    They were organized and trained as miscellaneous soldiers to fight.  But Weng Yingqi only let them carry away the luggage, and continued to chase with a small amount of food on his donkey.

    And what about Sun Kewang?

    In Sun Kewang's eyes, as long as he is a living person, he can be thrown into the battlefield to fight! 1

    The goods seized from the border towns were not transported too far, but were only transferred to nearby cities whose walls had been removed, so as not to stay at the mouth of the valley and be attacked front and back.

    Sun Kewang attacked the grain transport station along the way, burned all the supplies there, and took away all the grain transport slaves.  In addition to the residents who did not escape in the border cities, as well as the farmers in the surrounding villages,

    There are more than 30,000 people, men, women and children.  Jen 1

    Including the untouchables, there are more than 30,000 people, which is a 30,000 army!

    It's the old routine of rogues.

    [6]

    The army of more than 30,000 people was divided into four teams by Sun Kewang.

    The first army selects the strongest Kshatriya, Vaisya, and Sudra, and distributes the armor they plundered to form an elite of about 3,000 people.

    ?The second army selected relatively thin Vaisyas and Sudras, armed with kitchen knives, wooden sticks and other weapons, and was led by several Kshatriyas with horses. The number was about 7,000

    people.

    ?The third army selected the old, weak, sick and disabled from Vaishya and Sudra, with only wooden sticks, and the number was about 8,000.

    The fourth army is composed of untouchables, with more than 10,000 people.

    Afterwards, Sun Kewang paraded the troops outside the city and personally lectured and swore the oath.  He first said to the first army: "This battle is over, and those who survive will be rewarded. Kshatriya who has made meritorious service, the kingdom

    The king will give you land, not to manage village land for the king as before, but you own your own land!" Jen 1]

    "The meritorious Vaisyas and Sudras, the top 100 people, will all raise your caste. Vaishyas can be Kshatriyas, and Sudras can be Vaishyas. The rest of the soldiers

    , give all small pieces of land!

    The translator with the army immediately stepped forward, informed the officers, and asked the officers to pass on a message to the soldiers.

    Everyone is inexplicably excited, Kshatriya can own private land, and Vaishya and Sudra can raise caste.  Such a grand reward is unprecedented, and even diluted

    ? Their fear of war.  1

    Then, Sun Kewang ran to the second army: "Out of the 7,000 of you, the 30 who performed best will be able to transfer caste and obtain land. The rest who survived will all

    Grant a small piece of land!

    Then went to the third army: "You eight thousand people, the fifteen who performed the best, can raise caste and get land. The rest can also get small

    A piece of land!

    Finally, go to the ranks of more than 10,000 untouchables: "As long as you make meritorious deeds and survive, you will be able to fix the land for tenant farming, or be permanent slaves to the nobles!"

    Untouchables, caste is not given, and land cannot be given, otherwise other castes will be unhappy.

    However, the two forms of rewards that can be obtained as permanent tenants or as domestic servants are enough to make the untouchables willing to take risks.  Ren 4

    Davodya led the main force back to the town without being attacked on the way.

    He has reached the mouth of the valley, and as long as he passes through the valley, he can return to his own country.  But he began to hesitate again. He would lose his prestige if he returned to the country so disheartened.

    Not only failed to grab the goods, but also lost more than 6,000 soldiers.

    Davodya has only been king for two years, and he still killed his nephew in a coup to take over the throne. Losing troops will be very detrimental to his own rule.

    Taniguchi piled up so much wealth, the enemy must have not transported it too far, can you find a chance to get it back?

    Anyway, I have already reached Taniguchi, and even if I lose a little, I can escape back to my country at any time.

    Just when Davodya was hesitating, a team sentinel came back: "Your Majesty, there are enemy troops in the northeast!

    "how many people?"

    "About twenty to thirty thousand."

    "How is the strength?

    &nbsHis Royal Highness's troops already numbered 200,000, and they were on their way to rebel against Beiping.

    His Royal Highness King Jin is merciful, and he only punishes the culprit, and those who are forced to rebel can be forgiven.

    The local nobles who were held hostage by the rebels were frightened by a series of news.  Before the Han army approached, the rebel army was divided, and the local nobles joined forces to attack the city of Canmei

    Prince, finally send over the heads of several rebellious princes.

    After this campaign, the western and northern parts of the Jin Kingdom were devastated, and cities and villages were severely damaged.  2]

    However, with the great reputation of the King of Jin, the surrounding countries all knew that the Chinese army was not easy to mess with, and they sent envoys to get closer to each other.

    Zhao Kuangbiao also had three more concubines, one from Jinji Kingdom, one from Mysore, and one from Madurai, all of whom were married princesses.

    Finally, we can develop our internal affairs with peace of mind.

    ,

    The first batch of merchant ships that followed Zhao Kuangbiao to sea had already returned to Palembang.

    Not only did they earn food freight, but they also brought spices, porcelain, tea and other goods, and sold them to the Dutch in Ceylon for a penny.  When returning to the voyage, it was fully loaded from India (

    and Ceylon) brought back cotton, ivory, precious stones and other commodities.

    And Guangdong's maritime merchants went to Palembang to trade, and brought these Indian goods back to the mainland, and brought back Zhao Kuangbiao's immigration policy by the way.

    Fang Zixin, Zhao Kuangbiao's old classmate, was sent back to Guangzhou to receive immigrants.  He not only spread the news along the coast, but also spread the immigration policy to Jiangxi through inland freight forwarders.

    Inside.

    The first large group of immigrants came from the Ba Pai Yao area. Zhao Kuangbiao’s cousin brought more than 600 people, and more than 80% of them were Yao people who were proficient in Chinese.

    Immediately afterwards, the Hakka people in the southern Ganshan Mountains heard from merchants who came to buy tobacco that they could get paddy fields when they went to India, and they could also receive a settling allowance before going to sea.  Some

    The Hakka people in the mountains were moved, and nearly a hundred of them went to Fang Zixin in Guangzhou to report.

    Continuing further north, the people of Ji'an Mansion got the news.

    This is the land of Zhao Han's Longxing and also the place in Jiangxi where the population is the largest, the land is the tightest, and the imperial examination is the most introverted! Ren 4

    The prosperity of Ji'an Mansion is no less than that of Nanchang Mansion.  Especially with the booming of maritime trade, a large amount of Jiangxi goods flowed down the Ganjiang River from Ji'an Prefecture, and arrived at coastal ports through Guangdong.

    Mouth, this place is more prosperous than it was in the Ming Dynasty.

    Within half a year, two hundred people went south one after another, went to Guangzhou to find Fang Zixin and signed up to go to sea.

    ?For these two hundred Ji’an immigrants, those above 95 have graduated from primary school, and those above 60 are secondary school dropouts.  The second reason why they are willing to go to India is to go to become an official!

    1

    The competition for the imperial examination here is too fierce.

    In the Ming Dynasty in this time and space, there are a total of more than 80 champions, of which 12 champions are from Ji'an.  Especially during the 80 years from Jianwen to Chenghua, the number one scholar from Ji'an Mansion directly occupied the

    one third.  In the second year of Jianwen, a scholar of Ji'an Prefecture, including No. 1 Scholar, Tanhua and No. 2.  Zhu Di came to power, and in the first imperial examination, Ji'an scholars won the top seven.  [11]

    In Jishui County of Ji'an Prefecture, within ten miles, there are five champions.

    Before the Datong New Dynasty was established, Ji'an Prefecture began to implement compulsory education.  Thanks to the excellent imperial examination tradition, the poor people in the mountains here have to send their children to study

    The primary school dropout rate is the lowest in the country. If you ask any young people on the street, most of them have obtained a primary school diploma.

    5

    However, the number of public-funded students in middle schools is limited, and those who can go to middle schools at public expense are all top students who have fought their way out of it.  There are countless self-financed students in middle schools, and there are even coolies on the docks.

    , eat bran swallowed vegetables for children to go to middle school at their own expense.  Jen 4]

    And the number of public-funded students in universities is also limited, and the tuition fees for self-funded students are frighteningly high.

    As a result, a large number of middle school graduates emerge in Ji'an Prefecture every year. After all, only a small number of them can be admitted as officials, and the rest can only find jobs by themselves.

    ? I heard that King Jin founded the country in India, and scholars became officials when they went, and the group of scholars in Ji'an Mansion quickly became a sensation.  Jen 6]

    If India is not too far away, I am afraid that more than 200 people have signed up to go to sea.  Even if the destination is changed to Nanyang, there may be thousands of applicants, and the vast sea route scares away most of them.

    's heartthrob.

    After these high-level intellectuals have passed away, Zhao Kuangbiao has no shortage of officials for the time being, all of them are treasures!

    Waiting for these two hundred Ji'an scholars to successfully arrive in India and settle down.  Some of them will write letters to send money home, and some will simply take their family members. After a few years, the demonstration effect

    Should it be done, there will be more scholars willing to go to sea.

    If you go there, you can become an official, and you will be allocated paddy fields with two crops a year, and you can also have groups of wives and concubines, and servants everywhere.  If this kind of information spreads, it will be like a paradise for scholars who are unable to pass the examination as officials and are not satisfied with working in commercial companies.

    Perhaps in a few years, with the joining of a large number of scholars, Zhao Kuangbiao will be able to completely rule Canmei City.  At that time, with Taiwu City and Kanmei City as the center, and at the same time in the territory of the two counties

    Carry out colonization, and the expansion speed will inevitably be doubled.

    Zhao Kuangbiao obtained a high-quality population, and Ji'an Prefecture eased the contradiction between people and land and the employment pressure of scholars.  Win-Win! Jen 9

    Maybe after someone emigrates, he takes the whole family with him.

    For example, my father is a coolie on the dock, my mother is a housewife who does odd jobs to subsidize the family, and there are a lot of brothers and sisters in the family.  Their children worked as officials in the state of Jin to divide the land,taxi?"

    "Who is the female husband-in-law? Can you come forward and tell me?"

    "May I ask where this lesbian is? I am attracted by her name and want to ask for advice." Seven 6

    The voices came and went, all asking for news about the female tribute.

    When Zou Huaiyu graduated from middle school, he was admitted to Jinling University as a public student.  But her family was worried that her daughter would go away, so she stayed at Nanchang University to study, so she was still in Nanjing.

    There is really no reputation.  [3]

    Candidates from Nanchang University naturally recognized Zou Huaiyu, and they all came to congratulate him.

    Others looked at it and shouted: "Here is the lady in charge, here is the lady in charge!

    Not only the examinees, but even the common people who watched the fun gathered around, wanting to see with their own eyes what the first female Jinshi in this dynasty looks like.

    Zou Huaiyu's appearance is not outstanding, not very beautiful, nor ugly, it can be regarded as ordinary.  But she - wearing a Confucian shirt, with a long sword hanging from her waist, stands there heroically, and

    With the halo of a female Jinshi added to her body, she looks so dazzling at this moment.  l 4

    "What a talented woman, with extraordinary looks."

    "Dare to ask if my husband-in-law has ever been married. Although my son failed the exam this year, he can still continue the imperial examination. Even if he fails the imperial examination, he can still be a state official.

    In the northern and southern provinces, if the husband-in-law is willing to marry, he can be an official without worrying about money in the future.  "[ 2]

    "This girl is in the same year. Several of us have passed the exam. We plan to go to Xuanwu Lake to hold a cultural meeting to celebrate. Would you like to join us?"

    Facing the messy inquiries, Zou Huaiyu made a bow and said: "Although I am not married, I have already had a marriage contract. After the palace examination, I will go home and get married." He also said, "I will go back to the inn to prepare for the palace examination. I will not participate in all the entertainments.  Good intentions from everyone in the same year.

    If you are admitted by the general examination, you can be called a tribute.

    When the scholars take part in the palace examination, only the ranking is considered, and they are no longer eliminated. If the gold list is released, they will be regarded as new Jinshi.  Jen 6]

    As early as the Ming Dynasty, stereotyped essays were not taken in the imperial examination.  Instead, give questions that suit the current situation and ask the scholars to write policy countermeasures.  For example, it happened that the peasants were revolting, so I asked the candidates

    How to calm the chaos.  Or the national treasury is empty, ask the candidates how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.  Ren 3

    Looking at an emperor's champion roll, one can know the changes in the current situation of the dynasty.

    Take Jiajing as an example.

    The first palace examination discusses how to carry out reforms.

    The second palace examination discusses how to implement the kingly way so that the world will be full of soldiers and food.

    The third palace examination discusses how to protect the country and the people.

    The fourth palace examination discusses how to face natural disasters and make the people have enough food and clothing.

    ? In the tenth palace examination, I (ascended the throne) for 29 years. I have always worshiped God, worked diligently and cared for the people. How come there are constant border troubles, early disasters, Miao uprisings, and people's livelihood suffering?

    Is it because my sincerity is not enough? Candidates are asked to discuss how to stop corvee labor, stabilize the border, subside civil strife, prosper the people, and prosper all industries.

    Compared with the early years of Jiajing, the palace examination questions at this time have changed greatly in style, and there is a sense of emperor's resentment in the questions.  Jen 6]

    In the next few palace exams, Jiajing has gradually become hysterical:

    "I, the emperor, should be competent. Why are the ministers lying and slandering the emperor and the people? Candidates, come and explain the truth.

    {15]

    "The emperor regards the ministers as his confidantes, but the ministers regard the emperor as an enemy. As an emperor, I really have no knowledge of people, and I can appoint talented people as officials. Those candidates, watching

    Zhe Qing, should be able to give you the answer.  It’s a lie, let me tell you slowly!’

    "Before you came to the throne, you were a good emperor with all your heart and soul. You worked hard and cared for the people. Now, there are successive years of disasters, hunger and cold among the people, endless border troubles, and uprisings everywhere. How can you do that?

    Can you let the ministers be of one mind with you, so that the monarch and ministers can govern the country together?

    11]

    "You promulgate various edicts, and the ministers are earnestly implementing them, and they seem to be very obedient. But you sloppy investigation and found that they are all fake. Did the politicians really comfort the people, and did the policymakers

    Really good time.  Those who claim to be benevolent and caring for the people, but cruel to the people, let me take the blame.  A famous official who is well-known in the sky, but has no integrity at all.  Is it really not that difficult to make the people respect and love the emperor?

    ?In ancient times, people were rewarded, and the people listened to the emperor.  It is to intimidate the people, and the people also fear the emperor.  Why is it that today's scholar-officials can govern the country like this?

    Like? I want to solve that problem, but the problem is under the officials, and the candidates are slow to tell you what to do?" 7]

    In the first few palace examinations of the Jiajing Dynasty, it can be seen from the examination questions that the separation between the monarch and his subjects has not been very slight, and whether the emperor has the slightest trust in his ministers.  Jen 8

    The eldest son gave questions for the palace examination, and the content was occasionally terse, just a bunch of nonsense.

    ? For this palace examination, there is only one line in the title: "Try to discuss the king of Jin entrusting the country to Tianzhu."

    In the past, the ministers drafted the bottom eight and read all the papers for the bottom ten to the emperor.  From the end of the next palace examination, Xiaochen will be deprived of the qualification to be selected as the last eight, and will have to

    The papers for the last seventeen students are ready.

    [2]

    The eldest son also didn't let us read it, but spread out the answer sheet to read it by himself.

    The first place, Zhao Kuangping, is from Luling County, Jiangxi Province.

    "Minister to: The king of Jin entrusted the country to Tianzhu, and this son of heaven divided the heavens—there was no heaven in Zhou Dynasty, and the earth was divided, and there were seven classes, and the princes rose."

    "When the world rises today, the earth will disappear, and the other side of the small ocean will disappear. The four states today are like the middle land in Zhou Dynasty. The seven barbarians today have not changed: the northern barbarians are Rakshasa. The eastern barbarians are beautiful.

    Zhou also.  Southern barbarians, Nanyang also.  Xirong, Europe, Persia, Tianzhu, and the Western Regions are

    "At the time of the eight kings, there were grass and trees, towers, and beasts everywhere, and people were able to fight. People pretended to be things, but they kept the skins, feathers and scales of the crowd, and built walls with soil. The people of the country lived inside.

    System, the feudal four states, the king lands in the sky, so there is no Shang Zhou to talk about Huaxia benevolence 6

    "The prefectures and counties were established in the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the theories of the philosophers were abolished. The counties and counties were divided into feudal dynasties, and the country was turned into a county, and the governors were replaced by princes. The chaos of princes and marquises can be changed; the disease of the people of the country can be cured;

    If you disobey, you will be swept away.  The country is unified, and the resurrection of the saint can also be changed

    "Why are the prefectures and counties distributed on behalf of each other? Today's holy emperor, why is the policy of distribution again? The world has changed and time has changed!" Ren 2]

    "In the eight generations, a country is more than a hundred miles away, and the transportation is difficult.??Examination papers will also be published on the dissemination day of "Xiaotong Monthly"

    superior.

    After thinking for a while, Zongzi said: "In the last issue of "Xiaotong Monthly", one less edition was printed, and seven palace examination articles were published. In addition to the one-A answer sheet, the articles by Liu Zongdao and Zou Huaiyu were also included.

    The column recedes.  "

    The posting of the gold list caused a sensation again.

    The main reason is that the first male retired soldier in the court actually got the 17th place in the exam, so how many daughters would be ashamed?

    However, we wanted to find the ranking of King Chu, but found that there was no ranking at all.

    ?In order to take care of Chen Chun in the areas where the imperial examinations were backward, and to prevent officials from forming cliques for personal gain, the eldest son also followed Xiaoming to formulate the eight rankings in the north and south

    ? Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, and Jinling Prefectures, one of the seven provinces is the Nanbang, and the proportion of retired soldiers accounts for 55%

    ?The four provinces of Qichuan, Anhui, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangnan, Hunan, and Hubei are on the list, and the proportion of retired scholars is 35.

    ?The rest of the provinces are all on the North List, with a retirement ratio of 10.  { 14]

    ?I want to feel that the candidates in the North List are too wronged. If the admission is divided into separate lists, we can even reach the ratio of 10!

    ?The real grievance is Nanbang Chen Chun, who seems to occupy 55, but in fact is involuntary like purgatory.  On the other hand, Quang Nam Province was recovered late, and there are still elementary schools to be established in the future.  Candidates in that province are mainly the children of immigrants. They usually study in elementary schools in Guangxi and Yunnan, and a quota has been specially set up for Guangnan Province.

    The general examination will be withdrawn from the examination room according to the province, and the admission will be withdrawn according to the quota ratio, but all the candidates from all over the country are withdrawn.

    However, the results of the palace examination are divided into lists, and the whole country treats them equally.

    Of the last 70 in the palace examination, Chen Chun in the South Ranking ranked 70th, He Bo in the Middle Ranking ranked 26th, and Chen Chun in the Northern Ranking was only a pitiful 4th.

    Pu Songling's northern leader, Chen Chun, was among the top seven in the northern provinces, but he only came in seventy-fourth.

 Text 976 [The Emperor's New Clothes]

    ,

    (The previous chapter missed two lakes, which belong to the test area of ??the list.)

    This year's Jinshi hairpin parade through the streets is an empty alley.

    Even Chen Chun, the number one scholar, was upstaged by female Jinshi.  People in Nanjing stood in the streets and alleys, and they kept saying, "Where are the female Jinshi? Where are the female Jinshi?"

    Zou Huaiyu held his head high and walked slowly while holding the rein, bathed in admiration.

    Of course, there are also a few Taoists who secretly sigh that the world is going down, and the rooster is in the morning.

    ?What is gained is what is lost. Zou Huaiyu, who seems to be beautiful, is actually full of troubles.  As soon as she graduated from middle school, she was urged to get married by her husband's family. Every year during the winter and summer vacations of college, her husband's family kept urging her.

    Zou Huaiyu was very unhappy about this, and her husband's family was also extremely dissatisfied with her.  But both parties did not dissolve the engagement, because it was a marriage between two prominent families, and neither of them wanted to bear the infamy of regretting the marriage.

    The fiancé had already taken a concubine from a poor family that failed in business.  She also raised two orchids, both of whom are coquettish and charming, who seduced her fiancé all day long.

    Now that Zou Huaiyu is a female Jinshi, she dare not regret her marriage. The whole world is staring at her.  If she dares to regret her marriage, she will belong to the female version of Chen Shimei, and she will give some people an excuse-look, I said that the world cannot be turned upside down, it is like this for a woman to be admitted to Jinshi, and she can't even get along with the Qi family.  world?

    The first female jinshi in the new dynasty of Datong must be perfect. Even if her husband has five poisons, she must never divorce in the future.

    If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight!

    The other Jinshi around did not know Zou Huaiyu's suffering.  While receiving applause from the people, they quietly looked at Zou Huaiyu.  This ordinary-looking female Jinshi is extremely charming in the eyes of Jinshi of the same discipline, and everyone wants to make friends with her, quite like a celebrity.

    On the side of the street, there were many girls from the school, and they formed a group to watch.

    When these female students saw Zou Huaiyu, their eyes were shining, they chased her all the way, and kept throwing flowers.  Zou Huaiyu was their idol, the brightest star in the dark night, and some female students even laughed and cried on the spot.

    They don't know why they are crying, they just want to cry anyway, happy, excited, longing, envious, admiring all kinds of emotions are intertwined.

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    There were firecrackers in the inns one after another, all of which were their own guests who had passed the Jinshi examination.

    Zhao Kuangping, the king of Chu, was a little lonely. He had already moved into the palace of the king of Chu.  It was originally the mansion of the King of Jin, but the King of Jin went to India, so he handed it over to the King of Chu.

    ? I was also admitted to Jinshi, but unfortunately I couldn't parade around the streets with hairpin flowers.

    To be an official means to give up the title, which is not a policy for the prince.  It is for the future generals of Fengguo and Fuguo. This kind of clan title does not have much salary, and it is really possible to give up after being admitted to Jinshi.

    Zhao Kuangping didn't know what he was supposed to do, he never even thought about being the crown prince.  Because the prince already has heirs, even if the prince dies of illness suddenly, the throne will be inherited by the emperor's grandson.

    Overseas closures?

    Zhao Kuangping is reluctant to part with China's prosperity.

    To be a naval officer?

    Zhao Kuangping is not interested in fighting, neither the navy nor the army, he is not that material.

    After much deliberation, let's go to the Hanlin Academy.

    To be an official in the Imperial Academy, you don't have to give up your title.  As long as he has a university diploma or academic achievements, he will definitely be able to enter the Hanlin Academy with the connections of the King of Chu.

    Why don't you enter Qintianyuan?  Because Zhao Kuangchen doesn't like science.  If you don't like it, you don't like it, even if he has good grades in astronomy, physics, and mathematics.

    Young people, troubles go away quickly.

    Zhao Kuangping left the study and went to have fun with his princess.  The two concubines were all chosen by him, and they were both talented women without exception.

    The princes of the Ming Dynasty had one concubine, one concubine, and several concubines and wives.  But only the main concubine belongs to the concubine, and the second concubine is actually a concubine. In addition to being nice to say, the second concubine may also become a second concubine.

    Here in Datong Xinchao, both Ji and his wife have been cancelled, and the prince only has one main concubine and one side concubine.  Children born to other women, unless they can inherit the throne, are not even counted as Zong's children, and they don't even think about getting a dime salary when they grow up.

    This is to prevent Zong's personnel from exploding. A prince can have hundreds of children, so who the hell can stand it?

    When it comes to Zhao Han, the lord's salary is just that. If you have the ability, such as doing business, it doesn't matter how many women you earn.  But in the face of the clan's mansion, except for the concubine and the concubine, the other children are ordinary people!

    The son born to Princess Chu is more than one year old, and the second concubine is also pregnant.

    &nZhao Kuangping laughed and said, "Father's "Legend of the Heroes of Shetong" is wonderfully written, why don't you write an article for the first issue."

    The first few children are very close to Zhao Han, and it doesn't matter if they joke around.

    Later, there will be more princes and daughters, and Zhao Han is also busy with business, but they are a little strange to each other, and the sons and daughters are more in awe when they see him.

    Zhao Han thought for a while: "Two stories, I will write the short ones, and find someone to write the long ones yourself."

    "Father's story must be interesting." Zhao Kuangping said flatteringly.

    Zhao Han also found it interesting, and immediately wrote "The Emperor's New Clothes": "In the land of Thailand and the West, there is a country. The emperor ignores the government and only cares about having fun. The people are miserable. This king likes to wear new clothes and changes them every day."  There are several sets, and every time the courtiers come to see him, the eunuch will say: "Your Majesty is changing clothes." If things go on like this, the subjects secretly call him the "Emperor of Changing Clothes". One day, two bachelors come to Wuyouguo"

    Bachelor not only refers to single men and women, but also generally refers to local ruffians.

    "The Emperor's New Clothes" is not long, and Zhao Hanwen finished it in less than twenty minutes without adding points.

    After reading it, Zhao Kuangping admired it sincerely: "Father Huang's article is thought-provoking, and it is really a first-class story."

    Of course it is thought-provoking and can be extended to various interpretations.

    Zhao Kuangping's first reaction was that his father was mocking Daming and Chongzhen.

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I'll tell you another story about the daughter-in-law, maybe it can be made into an opera ?

    ,

    Kunning Palace.

    Before the king of Chu left the Forbidden City, he visited his mother here again, and then excitedly went to prepare magazines.

    Whether it is running a magazine or doing other businesses in the future, you have to learn and exercise slowly, not overnight.

    In the evening, Zhao Han came to Kunning Palace, sat down and chatted for a while, and asked casually, "How much did you give Ping'er?"

    "Five hundred taels of silver," Fei Rulan said angrily, "You will be unhappy if you give too much. I have never seen any emperor treat his children so poorly." 1

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "Too much money is given, so he only knows how to enjoy it, so why would he want to make a living by himself?" 4

    Zhao Han is actually experimenting with his own children to see how they can be forced to develop.  Everything can be adjusted, such as increasing the clan's salary, the bottom line is that it should not be too high, and the prince's salary is three times that of Zhengyipin is the limit.  44

    Or, a franchise license will be granted in the future, but the scope of the franchise is limited.  2

    As for whether the prince should stay in the capital or go to the local area to become a vassal, this is also under observation and experimentation.  Qi 2 Fei Rulan suddenly cared about Qipan Qimei's child, and asked curiously, "Will King Jin be in danger in Tianzhu?" "Probably not, he chose a small country." Zhao Han said.  1

    At this time, Zhao Kuangdong, King of Jin, was still harvesting winter rice in India. Several foreign wars had not started, and nothing was known about his situation in China.  ,1

    Fei Rulan still has a son who has not graduated from middle school.  Among the three biological princes, the eldest is the prince, the second is trying to do business, and the third wants to arrange it.  But wanting the child to stay by her side, but also wanting the child to make a career, Fei Rulan was very conflicted.  4

    "How's the weather in Tianzhu? I heard it's very hot there." Fei Rulan asked again.

    Zhao Han nodded: "It's very hot, even in winter, the temperature in southern India occasionally exceeds 30 degrees."{3

    Fei Rulan said: "Princes, you are all pampered, how can you stand this kind of weather? There are no good doctors in Tianzhu, what should you do if you have a headache?"  Herbs."

    Fei Rulan said: "Your Majesty, don't lie to me. Famous doctors don't want to go to sea. Those who go to Tianzhu are all quack doctors and apprentices." 4

    "Among those doctor apprentices, there are also a few brilliant ones who have been consulting with their teachers for many years," Zhao Han explained. "The last time Huan'er fell ill, it was still an intractable disease. Didn't Dr. Hu ask his apprentices to consult him? That apprentice  Dr. Hu didn't change a single word of the prescription prescribed, and Huan'er was cured within a few days." 2

    Fei Rulan nodded and said: "I remember that apprentice, it seems to be Zhou Xin or something?"

    Zhao Han said: "It's Zhou Maoxing, and this time he went to India with King Jin." "That's great, it can make people feel at ease." Fei Rulan smiled.

    The next day, the imperial meeting.

    Not only ministers from various ministries participated, Prince Zhao Kuanghuan and Qu Guan were also allowed to attend.

    Wang Tiaoding, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, first reported his work: "The Imperial Academy, in cooperation with the Ministry of Rites, has compiled a comparison table of common words and expressions of various ethnic groups, and will distribute them to the official histories of relevant regions across the country next month. However, the words and expressions of various ethnic groups in Qinghai and Tibet  The comparison table has not been compiled yet." 8

    "It's not bad." Zhao Han praised.

    Zuo Xiaoliang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, said: "There are more and more Miao historians in Guangnan Province, which has caused dissatisfaction among Yue historians. The situation is a bit tricky. Yue historians contravene government orders, and they often obey government orders. Guangnan Province  Many Vietnamese historians have been replaced, but the matter still cannot be resolved. The Chief Secretary of Guangnan asked for additional education funds to open more primary and secondary schools."

    Zhao Han said: "Let the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Rites discuss this matter, and come up with a plan within two months."

    Zhao Han has long put forward the idea of ??the Chinese nation, saying that the Han people are the elder brothers, and all ethnic groups are the younger brothers.  This is all he can do. It is not to artificially create ethnic differences, but that the languages ??of various ethnic groups cannot communicate.

    When officials govern, they also have certain tendencies.

    ? For example, in the southwest region, when selecting historians in prefectures and counties,

    Will be more inclined to the Han people.  But in Guangnan Province, there are not many Han people there, so in addition to selecting Han historians, priority is also given to Miao and Han-speaking Yue people.

    The Miao people are obviously closer to the Han people! 14

    It can be concluded from the vocabulary of the language that although the Hmong languages ??of various ethnic groups are different, they are generally similar.  Sun, moon, person, hand, mouth, big, small, many, few, middle, lower, fish, bird These basic words in Miao language can all find their etymology in Chinese.  1

    For example, "Book" and "Zi" in Miao language are pronounced as "Diao".  The pronunciation of "cow" and "horse" is very similar to Chinese.  This shows that a long time ago, the Han and Miao races came from the same source.  As for Vietnamese, although there are a large number of vocabulary, the pronunciation is very similar to Chinese, but most of them are advanced vocabulary, not basic vocabulary.

    &nbp; In this imperial examination, the scores of scholars from Sichuan and Hunan have obviously exploded.

    Especially Sichuan, which has not experienced much war and chaos, not only has the largest population in the province, but also has a solid foundation for imperial examinations.  Scholars from Chengdu County and Fushun County took the examination of twelve Jinshi this year, and the rest of the list suffered heavy casualties.

    "It needs to be changed." Zhao Han said.

    The officials from the Nanbang area were unwilling to do this, but they could not object to the emperor's opinion, so they could only blow their beards and stare at Wang Tiaoding.

    Of course, Zhao Han also made a compromise to increase the number of Jinshi in the next session.

    There is no fixed number of Jinshi, which is adjusted according to official vacancies. In the Ming Dynasty, there were between 300 and 400 Jinshi in each session.

    The Datong court had a vast territory and needed more officials.  The number of Jinshi in the next imperial examination will be increased to 451, and a fraction will be given to overseas candidates.

    That is: 225 candidates (50) in the southern list, 171 candidates (38) in the middle list, and 54 candidates (12) in the northern list

    Although the proportion of Jinshi in Nanbang has decreased, the overall number of Jinshi has increased. In fact, it is possible to take a few more exams than before.

    Zhao Han held a meeting today, not only to talk about these things, but also to do other things.  uu Reading &lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot  ;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a>

    Zhao Han said: "In provinces like Gansu, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangnan, it is not easy for scholars to go to Beijing to catch the exam. I plan to divide the exam into several places. Those who fail the exam can go home nearby, and those who pass the exam will come to Nanjing for the imperial exam."

    Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, even Wang Diaoding was dumbfounded.

    The ministers objected one after another, but the objection was ineffective. Zhao Han said with a smile: "It's better to try it for two sessions and see the effect."

    Zhao Han's idea is because the land area continues to expand, and it is really not easy for candidates in marginal provinces.  Just going to Beijing to take the exam is a huge administrative expense. If you can take the exam nearby, those who fail the exam will not have to travel too far, and related expenses will also be reduced, and both scholars and the court will benefit.  6

    Of course, the provincial test will definitely not work.

    ?There are three examination areas across the country. The Southern Examination is held in Nanjing, the Northern Examination is held in Beijing, and the Central Examination is held in Baling (Yueyang).  29 After the three-rank examination, the failed candidates went home directly, leaving more than 400 people to come to Nanjing for the imperial examination.

    The palace test time must be adjusted, and it will be delayed by one and a half months than before.

    ?For the three major examination areas, the chief examiner and marking officer are dispatched by the central government, and the local government is responsible for organizing the examination.  2

    ? In the future, there will be more test areas, such as overseas attached lists. According to geographical conditions, the attached list exams will be held in Yecheng.  The premise is that there are enough overseas candidates and the number of overseas universities is enough, otherwise you will only get a poor number of places forever.

    This is not only an imperial examination issue, but setting the center of the Beibang examination area in Beijing is also increasing Beijing's political influence.

    Next, we need to divide the country's theaters in detail, increase Beijing's military influence, radiate the Northeast and the grasslands, and consolidate the dominance of the frontier.

 Text 978 [military reform]

    ,

    ?The test areas for the list are in Sichuan, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Guangnan.  Tibet Hepingnan Military and Civil Mansion (Myanmar), if there is an imperial examination for scholars, it is also classified as the middle list.  6

    After the announcement of this test area in Baling, Anwei officials expressed strong opposition.

    An Wei regained earlier, and there are also important ministers!

    The cabinet ministers Zhang Bingwen and Wu Yingji are both from Anhui.  What they said at the imperial meeting didn't work, so they hinted that officials from Anwei went to Shu, requesting that Anhui be changed to Nanbang examination area.

    This kind of behavior made Zhao Han very unhappy.  He didn't blame anyone, and in a fit of rage, he changed the test location of the Zhongbang test area to Chengdu.  , 11

    Official Anwei was dumbfounded.  {1

    The division of test areas has political significance. Jiangxi belongs to Nanbang, which has both historical reasons and practical considerations.  One is that Jiangxi now has the most officials, and scholars from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are needed to balance the officialdom; the other is that rich people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are everywhere, and Jiangxi officials need to suppress them.

    Regardless of how close Jiangxi and Jiangdong are, they have always loved and killed each other in the officialdom, and they are extremely strong mutual checks and balances.  1_

    The Nanbang is so powerful that Anhui must be included in the middle list, otherwise it will become one.  Anwei, Sichuan, Hunan, and Hubei, the four provinces combined, can barely compete with the Nanbang test area.

    ? Zhang Bingwen and Wu Yingji joined forces with Anhui officials to make troubles. Those officials in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi did not fail to support them.  This means that most of the important ministers joined forces to resist Zhao Han's districting policy, and they must wield sticks and beat them hard! 1

    Many Anwei students from prefectures and counties can go to Nanjing in a day or two by boat Now it's cool, they have to go to Chengdu for the exam.  8. It was just a matter of changing the exam location, but the cabinet ministers were frightened into silence. They all knew that the emperor was really angry this time.  6 No one dares to discuss the matter of the test area.

    The next step is to divide the military regions.  3

    ?The Chinese Military Governor's Mansion, located in Nanjing, has jurisdiction over Jinling Mansion, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, and Guangdong.  1_The former military governor's mansion, located in Kunming, has jurisdiction over Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guangnan, Kham, and Pingnan military and civilian mansions (Myanmar).

    The Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, located in Xi'an, governs Shaanxi, Gansu (including Ningxia), and Qinghai.  (In the future, the Western Regions will be governed, but the organization will not move westward. Only Xi'an can quickly mobilize food and grass. Neither Gansu nor Xinjiang can support the logistics of the army.) 13

    The Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, located in Shenyang, has jurisdiction over Liaoning, Xuantu (Jilin), and the Protectorate of Andong (Heilongjiang and Siberia).  Mongolian steppe.  3

    The Naval Governor's Mansion is located in Guangzhou.  2

    The Central Army and the Rear Army are obviously the highest ranks, especially the Rear Army Governor's Mansion, which is responsible for the use of troops in the entire Mongolian area.  If it is about the Hetao and Horqin Grasslands, the left army and the right army governor's office must cooperate, which means that the entire north must obey the orders of the rear army left commander.

    Setting the military governor's office in Beijing is to improve Beijing's military status and make Beijing the military center of the entire north.  , 17

    The left commander of the rear army must be a general who is familiar with the northern war.  Needless to say, the separation of the military and the government, to prevent the situation of feudal towns, it is impossible to separate the regime without money and food.  3

    Moreover, the inspectors of the provinces, that is, the armed police system, were half-separated from the Dudu Mansion and handed over to the command and envoys of the provinces.  Let them check and balance with the Dudu's Mansion of the Five Armies. Only after receiving an order from the Central Army, will the inspectors cooperate with the Dudu's Mansion to fight.

    If there is a rebellion in the Mongolian grassland, it will be resolved by the Anbei Dufu and Raole Dufu first.  If the Mongolian rebels crossed the Great Wall in a large scale, the Zuo Dudu of the rear army had the right to temporarily dispatch the inspectors.

    Only when there is a real chaos, the central government will issue a military order, and the left commander of the rear army will take over the entire northern military system and gather the strength of several northern provinces to suppress the rebellion.  This situation is a critical state, and it may happen only two or three times in a hundred years.

    The name of the Dudu Mansion in Nanjing remains unchanged, but the Dudu at this time,

    In the future, it will be renamed the general, and the prefix "so-and-so general" will be added to distinguish it.  Gas 4

    ? The Central Governor's Mansion has seven divisions, including Military Administration, Propaganda, Staff, Military Law, Training, Logistics, and Equipment.  There is also a military meeting in front of the imperial court, which is presided over by the emperor and attended by the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion.  3

    The authority of the Ministry of War has been compressed, but it still controls part of the military expenditure, retains control over the command divisions of the provinces (jurisdiction over the armed police forces), and retains the right to appoint and dismiss senior military officers (must be approved by the Imperial Military Council).

    Lu Xiangsheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, was speechless for a long time after reading the military system reform plan.

    Lu Xiangsheng knew very well in his heart that as the number of military students in various troops increased, the emperor was no longer afraid to suppress those generals.  This system has been implemented all the time, and civil servants should not want to suppress generals arbitrarily, even if all the founding ministers die.

    Moreover, generals are allowed to give up, He was afraid that his pet dog would be hurt.  The accompanying guards reported the situation. Zhao Han couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. He didn't have any hope for this prince.

    ?Excellent in studies, but playful.

    Academically, he is not aggressive at all. He can rank in the middle in elementary school, and he can also rank in the middle in middle school. It is estimated that he will also be in the middle when he goes to university.  Anyway, don't be ashamed of doing too badly in the exam, that's enough, and I never thought about being among the best.  7

    Pursue excitement, but kind-hearted.

    This kid can't see the poor suffer, and even dogs bleed.  But I couldn't help watching dog fights. After watching a few games, I couldn't bear to watch them. I quietly left halfway, and then went to watch them again next time.  i7

    Completely contradictory personality, this kind of person is often indecisive, not what can do great things.  If you really let him be the emperor, I am afraid that he will be able to compete with Song Huizong.  〉9 Of course, Zhao Kuangji has a bright mind and a wide range of hobbies, so he might be able to excel in a certain field.

    Recently, I have also become obsessed with Cuju, often juggling the ball while overtaking the dog.

    I have a little knowledge of classics and history, poetry, calligraphy, painting, rhythm, astronomy, geography, mathematics, and physics, but if the level reaches a certain level, I will stop studying hard and find other fun.  10

    No matter how much education you don't listen to, it's like having ADHD. Let him sit at ease for a long time and feel uncomfortable all over.

    Zhao Han will not be surprised when he says that he wants to travel around the world someday.

 Text 979 [Jinling School of Painting]

    ,

    Zhao Kuangji set off in a carriage, followed by several court guards, all the way to a mansion on the west side of the Forbidden City.  He is looking for a classmate, both of whom like dogs.  3

    The classmate's family warmly greeted them, but they were a little unhappy behind the prince's back.  10 "Brother Ji, let's go to the dog farm to play together." Zhao Kuangji shouted as he ran into the inner courtyard.  1

    Zhan Shao walked out of the study dejectedly: "Your Highness, go by yourself, I have to study at home." 6

    Zhao Kuangji smiled and said: "With your grades, you will definitely be able to get a diploma, but public-funded students don't even think about it. Anyway, if your family is rich, you can go to university at your own expense after you get a diploma." 10

    "well!"

    Zhan Shao sighed: "My three pet dogs were all killed by my father. They were also stewed into dog meat soup, and I was mutton soup. I drank two full bowls and ate several pieces of dog meat. That night I got  Knowing the truth, I became nauseous and vomited, and vomited out all the jaundice.” 28

    "Thishow can this be so?" Zhao Kuangji couldn't believe it.  2

    Zhan Shao said: "There are still three months before the middle school graduation exam. My father told me to study hard and not waste any more time. Everything will be discussed after I go to college. Your Highness, don't come to me again during the holidays." 1

    Zhao Kuangji shook his head and said: "No wonder I saw your father Lingtang just now. Although they greeted you with smiles, they always made me feel a little uncomfortable. That's all, you can prepare for the exam at ease, and I will play with you after graduation." 1

    "Feel sorry!"

    Zhan Shao clapped his hands and sent the prince out.

    When Zhao Kuangbiao came to the street, he didn't bother to ride in the car, so he led his mangy dog ??for a walk.  1

    He didn't want to go to Meizizhou. In today's Cuju competition, there is no team he likes.  He was already tired of watching Suwashe's performance, but Hunwashe didn't dare to go, otherwise the accompanying guards would definitely sue.  11

    After thinking about it, he turned to the Hanlin Academy.

    Don't look at Zhao Kuangji's love of fun, but after he was in middle school, he often went to the Imperial Academy and Qintian Academy.  As long as he is interested in something, he will study hard for a while, and then do other things when he loses interest.  At the age of twelve, he was obsessed with astronomy, and even went to live in Zijin Mountain, and went to the observatory in the middle of the night to learn the art of stargazing.

    Many scholars from Hanlin Academy and Qintian Academy have served as Zhao Kuangji's teachers.

    The prince came here to ask for advice, who would dare not teach him carefully?

    Most of the scholars are still secretly proud of this, the prince master said it sounds good.  As long as Zhao Kuangji came, he would put down his work and concentrate on imparting knowledge.  It's a pity that they are destined to be disappointed. Zhao Kuangbiao's enthusiasm for learning never exceeds three months.  1

    This guy learns things quickly, and he can master what others have learned for a year in two or three months.  Then I didn't want to make progress, I was doing things here and there, and I suddenly remembered one day, and went to study for a few days.  2

    ? At first, Zhao Kuangji amazed the scholars, but now it only makes people feel speechless and sigh.

    Arriving at the Imperial Academy, he went straight to the Painting and Calligraphy Hall. Zhao Kuangji planned to study painting today.

    However, the small courtyard of the Painting and Calligraphy Museum was crowded with people, as if something important happened today.  Zhao Kuangji was shocked immediately, handed the mangy dog ??to the guards, ran in excitedly, caught the person in front of him and asked: "What is there to watch today?" 1

    The man obviously knew the prince, and hurriedly cupped his hands and bowed: "Your Highness, do you know that there is an appointment fight in the Academy of Painting?" "There are a lot of appointments, and you often fight paintings."  2

    The man said in detail: "At the beginning of the establishment of the Painting and Calligraphy Museum, Your Majesty asked to study the combination of Chinese and Western painting methods. This painting method is divided into two schools. One group is dominated by Zhu Mou, a former imperial clan, and the other is dominated by Thai and Western scholar Li Zhicheng. Who are they?  They didn’t agree with anyone, so they made a fight five years ago and asked each other’s favorite disciples to draw a picture.”' 4

    "What painting needs five years of fighting?" Zhao Kuangji became more and more curious.

    The man explained: "Using the combination of Chinese and Western painting techniques, draw a map of the city of Nanjing. One person draws Changqianli, and the other draws Loujiangli. There is also an agreement on the width of the painting, three feet wide,

    Fifteen feet long.  "5

    The name Changganli is very old, and it often appears in Tang poems, and the allusion of "childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart" comes from this.  The location is outside the south city wall of Nanjing. Although it is located outside the city, it is the most prosperous market in Nanjing.  i5

    As for Loujiangli, it was a name only in the New Dynasty of Datong.  The address is also outside the city, but it is next to the northwest city wall and the north city wall. The whole area is the Yangtze River Wharf area. There are no large shops, but small stalls and hawkers are everywhere.  1

    "I'm coming!"

    But I saw several people coming out of the painting academy, headed by Zhu Moou, the former clan of the Ming Dynasty, and Li Zhicheng, a western missionary, divided into two groups clearly and distinctly.  , 1. They did not fight the paintings themselves, but by their disciples: one named Zhu Cha, the other named Tang Fu

    Zhu Moou was over seventy years old, he stroked his beard and stood on the steps, then cupped his hands and said, "Your Excellency, please first."?"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!" Li Zhicheng, apart from his appearance as a foreigner, has the same accent and movements as a Chinese.

    Li Zhicheng's apprentice Tang Fu took out the work, asked his disciple to hold the scroll, and slowly pulled the painting away by himself.  The huge painting, which is one meter wide and five meters long and took five years, appeared in front of everyone bit by bit.

    The south city wall, Zhongshan Temple, glazed pagoda, restaurant, charcoal market, sheep market, bull market, pig market, theater stage, glasses shop, leather goods shop, cloth shop, money shop, boats, carriages, sedan chairs There are countless figures in the paintings,  Boatmen, bearers, scholars, believers, envoys, merchants, folks, actors, audiences 9

    For a time, I couldn't count how many people there were, and I couldn't count how many buildings there were.

    But all of them are painted vividly, and if you look closely, you can even see the different expressions of the characters.

    Zhao Kuangji kept pushing forward, and no one else dared to fight.  This guy was actually close to the drawing paper, took out a magnifying glass from his arms, and praised: "It's meticulous and good at drawing!"

    Hearing the prince's praise, both Li Zhicheng and Tang Fu, master and apprentice, couldn't help smiling smugly.

    Li Zhicheng cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Bagui, please."

    Zhu Mou smiled slightly, and Zhu Cha also began to show his paintings.

    Zhu Cha's painting is also meticulously drawn, but the form of expression is slightly different.  He pays more attention to the characters, and the faces are not detailed, but with a few strokes, the expressions are vivid, and the movements are also lifelike, and the movements of some characters are even slightly exaggerated.

    Every scene is very exciting.

    One is the crane on the wharf. Suddenly a rope broke, and the container was turned upside down and hung upside down. The foremen and coolies around panicked.  Someone is yelling, it seems to be telling to put down the cargo box quickly; someone is covering his head to avoid the box falling on himself; someone is rushing to the crane winch, trying to stabilize the cargo box so that it does not fall f6

    One is on the east side outside the north city wall, which is where King Jin ate his stomach.  The food stalls there are very lively, some squatting, some standing, some sitting, all eating.  There were also people waiting in line, looking back and laughing while waiting.  There are also diners patting their stomachs and talking to their companions with five fingers, as if to show off that they have eaten five bowls of rice.  There was also a person holding a rice bowl in one hand and a half-cut newspaper in the other, leaning to the side, as if asking for words he didn't know.  3

    One is that a large ship arrived in Beijing, traveled to the center of the river, and was about to dock.  There was a group of candidates rushing for the exam standing on the deck. Some of them held their heads high and talked loudly, some pointed to the pier and shouted excitedly, and some were reciting poems with scrolls in their hands.  One is in front of Dinghuai Gate, dozens of foreign envoys stared at the towering city tower in a daze.  Several foreigners knelt down to worship on the spot, and the Chinese people next to them looked down on them.  4

    The two paintings, in addition to the different techniques, are also different in painting materials.

    Zhu Cha used silk to paint, which is calm, simple, thick and dark in color.

    Tangfu is painted on paper, elegant, extravagant, bright and colorful.

    Zhao Kuangji stood there and watched for a long time, but he couldn't tell which one was better, and he could only say that each had its own merits.  These two paintings do not belong to traditional Chinese painting methods, and are also very different from European paintings. They can be regarded as two mature and different schools combining Chinese and Western styles.

    All the artists from the Painting and Calligraphy Gallery are here at the moment, and the scholars from other galleries next door have also heard the news.  The small courtyard was packed full of comments, some said that Zhu Cha's paintings were better, and some said that Tang Fu's painting skills were better.  Even calligraphers and painters who are not used to Western painting techniques were shocked by these two paintings.

    Zhao Kuangji has learned calligraphy and painting a long time ago, he is ordinary and has just started.  At this moment, he bowed to the two painters, regardless of whether others agreed or not, he directly performed the disciple salute: "I admire the superb skills of the two gentlemen, please don't hesitate to teach them. uureading&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http:  //www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.  com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a> ”

    Zhu Cha didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he had taught the fifth prince for two months before, but he couldn't find anyone after teaching.  At this moment, he had no choice but to return the salute, not daring to refuse, but his heart was not fluctuating.

    Tang Fu was a little excited, and replied: "I dare not be your Highness's teacher, learn from each other, learn from each other."

    Zhao Kuangji laughed happily, stopped talking to the two teachers, and continued to admire the two paintings.  First use a magnifying glass to look carefully, and then step back to look at the overall effect, no matter how far or near you can find any flaws.  This strengthened his determination to learn painting, but even Zhao Kuangji himself couldn't guarantee whether he could persist for three months.

    The Hanlin Academy was lively for a whole day, and two paintings were sent to the palace the next day.  Zhao Han was very happy when he saw it, promoted Zhu Cha and Tang Fu to doctorate, and gave some gold and silver.  Then, let the Hanlin Academy Calligraphy and Painting Hall take the painting back, and those who want to copy it can copy it, and then send it to the palace to hang in a year.

    The news spread quickly, and a large number of scholars came to the Hanlin Academy to ask for appreciation.

    Qian Qianyi, who has already decided to retire this year, feels that his face is radiant.  It was decided to exhibit these two paintings on the first and fifteenth day of each month, but they must be well-known literati to be allowed to enter, and they can only be viewed collectively from a distance. If you want to get closer, you can see them one by one.

    The few folk literati who were lucky enough to appreciate the paintings all blew up the two paintings to the sky after they left the Imperial Academy, saying that Wu Daozi could be painted like this after his resurrection.  Literati touted it, and naturally it spread quickly. After only half a year, there were even related news in Guangdong and Beijing.

    These two new painting styles combining Chinese and Western styles have gained a firm foothold at once, and more and more learners are learning them. They are collectively called the "Jinling School of Painting".Take the painting back, and if you want to copy it, just copy it, and then send it to the palace to hang in a year.

 Text 980 [Your Majesty, it's time to repair the imperial mausoleum]

    ,

    Zhu Cixi returned to Nanjing to report on his work, and found that a lot has changed here.

    The street scene in the city has not changed much. The Baoen Temple outside the city has become the Zhongshan Temple. Meizizhou not only has a dike, but also built a stadium.

    He went to the Ministry of History to report, and the new official position was implemented within two days.  The speed is so fast, it must be in the honor of Concubine Tian and Concubine Zhu, otherwise it will have to wait for the arrangement.

    The new official position is the director of the Sichuan Long'an Prefecture History Bureau, who is responsible for the selection and transfer of state historians.  In the Ming Dynasty, it was the Zhengliupin Tongju who was in charge of the history and governance of a government.

    The former crown prince is 33 years old, and now he is at the sixth rank, so he has some prospects.  After all, in the past, there were many people who were still in the imperial examination in their thirties.  It's just that, Zhu Cixi's upper limit is definitely not high. If he can reach the third rank, who made his identity so sensitive? {10

    Zhu Ciniang was allowed to enter the palace, but she didn't dare to visit Concubine Tian, ??and it was a bit awkward to go.

    "My lord, Zhu Ci Niang, pay my respects to Shun Concubine Zhu Empress." Zhu Ci Niang's greeting was very formal.  The title of Datong Xinchao basically followed the Ming Dynasty.

    For the title of concubine, it is a certain concubine and a certain empress.  If you are already dead, posthumous name + surname + empress, or posthumous name + old + empress.  Zhu Ni was very happy and said with a smile: "Brother, don't be too polite, sit down quickly!"

    "Thank you for your seat." Zhu Ci Niang was a little cautious.

    Zhu Ni asked: "Have you filled my elder brother's official vacancy?" Zhu Cixi said: "It has been filled, he is a sixth-rank official, and the official of the Long'an Mansion History Bureau."

    "The history bureau is very good, it's in charge of people," Zhu Ni asked with a smile, "Where is Long'an Mansion?"

    Zhu Cixi said: "Sichuan."

    Zhu Ni smiled and said: "Sichuan is also good, the land of abundance."

    "It's all thanks to His Majesty's grace." Zhu Cizhu didn't explain too much. Long'an Mansion is located in the northern part of Sichuan, which is Pingwu, Qingchuan, and Jiangyou.

    What a land of abundance, very poor!

    The siblings haven't seen each other for a long time, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, they couldn't find a topic to talk about.  1

    Zhu Cixi looked left and right, and there was only one court lady in the room, so he couldn't help asking: "Sister how is your mother doing?"

    Junenni smiled brightly: "I'm fine. All the sisters in the palace take good care of me. I have a son and a daughter, and they are also very smart. Last time my younger brother entered the palace, I asked him to send money to my elder brother. My elder brother is very happy."  recieved?"

    Zhu Ci Niang said: "Received, the postman sent the silver to the province, and the province delivered the official documents and brought it to me." From Zhu Nianni's smile, it can be seen that she is really happy.

    There is indeed intrigue in the harem, but it is basically not revealed, and it is relatively harmonious overall.  3

    And even if the palace fights, it will not be able to fight against Junenni, let alone the princesses of Brunei and Portugal.  With the identities of these three, even if the empress died suddenly, even if the emperor favored them, it is impossible for them to have any promotion in title.

    Let's put it this way, unless all the other princes and grandsons die, the sons of the three of them will have a chance to succeed.

    After chatting for a while, a total of half an hour, Zhu Ci Niang got up to leave.  As a foreign minister, he was allowed to visit relatives in the harem, it was the emperor's kindness, and it was really inconvenient to stay for too long.

    The female officials and maids took Ruo Zhu Cixi away, out of the harem, guards and carriages were waiting, and sent him all the way out of the Forbidden City.  When passing by the cabinet, I happened to meet the prince's car driver.

    Zhu Cixi's carriage stopped far away to give way.  He got off the station in a hurry and stood up, saluting to the prince's car, with mixed feelings in his heart.  <11 Unexpectedly, the prince got off the car there, and recognized him at a glance.

    Zhao Kuanghuan walked up quickly, cupped his hands and said: "So it's the elder brother of the Zhu family. It's been a long time since we last saw each other." "I dare not," Zhu Tsiniang hurriedly said, "Minister Zhu Tsiniang, I pay my respects to Your Highness the Crown Prince."

    Zhao Kuanghuan smiled and said: "There is no need to be rigid, I still remember that when I was young, you taught me to climb trees and catch cicadas, and more than ten years have passed in a flash." Zhu Cihuan also laughed: "I was not sensible when I was young." i 3

    The two of them have nothing to say, let's talk about the past,

    Just say goodbye.  Like Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhao Han was very kind to the prince.

    ? At the beginning, Zhao Kuanghuan was allowed to read the cabinet proposals, and he was also allowed to attend every imperial meeting.  Now he goes directly to the cabinet to watch the government, he can sit next to a certain cabinet minister and see how the cabinet ministers work.  If the prince is sitting beside him, the cabinet ministers will review the official documents and explain to the prince why they should be handled in this way.

    The cabinet ministers didn't bother, but enjoyed it, because they could instill their own political ideas into the prince while explaining.  1 When Zhao Kuanghuan came to the cabinet, he first visited the cabinet ministers.

    Those who are relatively close, such as Fei Chun, can still joke with the prince.

    In order to "spread rain and dew evenly", Zhao Kuanghuan learns from different cabinet ministers every day.  Today it's Wu Yingji's turn, Mr. Wu Ge's office is very fast, and his speech is also fast.I can't even figure it out_Zhao Han's idea is very simple. Before his death, wherever his territory expanded, his tombstone would be there.

    The ashes and the dragon robe were burned together, and the ashes were divided into nine parts, and eight border areas and Nanjing were selected. The ashes were scattered on the ground and planted with trees, so that they would not be afraid of being dug up and flogged.  '

    Thirty large stone tablets were erected at each place where the ashes were scattered.

    On the front of the main stele is written "Tomb of the First Emperor of the Republic of China in Datong", and on the back is written "Yongzhen Heshan".  The twenty-nine small steles are all engraved with the content of "Datong Ji", and no word is allowed to be changed.  36

    People are allowed to worship in the forest of steles everywhere.

    Especially in the Forest of Steles in Nanjing, when the common people sweep the emperor's tomb, they can also review "Datong Collection" by the way!, 17 is a very outrageous plan, but Zhao Han feels very cool.

    Even if the Datong Dynasty was overthrown, the old Zhao family would no longer rule China.  After the change of dynasty, the sons and daughters of Huaxia will still come to pay homage to him, and the mention of Zhao Han, the emperor, is full of enthusiasm.

 Text 981 [The crown belt enters Beijing and jokes with the emperor]

    ,

    Ying Min Dian, father and son.

    Zhao Han asked the prince: "What do you think of the joint name of the three major medical schools?"

    Due to the encouragement of the imperial court, there are three main schools of Chinese medicine at this time: Ziyang School, Wuzhong School, and Qiantang School.  Ziyang School, also known as Jinling School, Gezao School, and Military Medical School.

    ? At first, a group of Taoist priests in Gezaoshan opened a medical school with the support of Zhao Han.  Immediately afterwards, all Buddhists and Taoists in Jiangxi ordered those who returned to the lay world to study this school of medicine.  After Zhao Han ascended the throne, he founded Jinling Medical College, which was formed by the exchange and integration of doctors from Nanjing and doctors from Jiangxi.

    Gezao Mountain relies on the Southern Medicinal Materials Distribution Center (Zhangshu Town), and its medicines have always been exquisite.  Then he served as a large number of military doctors in Datong, and also engaged in anatomical research for a long time, quickly accumulating clinical experience in surgery.  Today, the germs are still being observed with a microscope, and more than a dozen pathogenic bacteria have been identified.

    Wuzhong School, also known as the Plague School.

    The famous doctor Wu Youke was born out of nowhere, and cooperated with famous doctors and military doctors from all over the country to control and solve the great plague in Shandong, Henan and Hebei.  Jiangxi famous doctor Yu Jiayan, Suzhou famous doctor Zhang Lu and others joined in, with great influence. Minwen doctors in the whole north have more or less Wuzhong school background.

    Of course, they are not only good at preventing and controlling the plague, but also proficient in internal medicine, pediatrics, and gynecology. Recently, they have also begun to use microscopes to observe germs.  2_Qiantang School, also known as the Sutra School, the Orthodox School, and the Antique School.

    Before Zhao Han raised his troops, this faction began to gather people to give lectures and annotate medical classics.

    They are similar to doctors and scholars, who were deeply influenced by Neo-Confucianism in the late Ming Dynasty.  Advocating practical learning, that is, emphasizing clinical practice.  Advocating to follow the scriptures and revive is to combine practice to improve theory and re-annotate ancient medical books.  They opposed self-preservation, encouraged doctors to communicate more, and were infinitely enthusiastic about gathering people to give lectures. The philosophy of practicing medicine is "to benefit the country and save the people".

    ?This time the three factions of doctors jointly named Shangshu, the opportunity was the death of the famous doctor Zhang Zhicong.

    Zhang Zhicong is the master of Qiantang School of Medicine, with disciples all over Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong.  When the news of his death came out, famous doctors from various factions asked the emperor to give him a posthumous title, and at the same time asked for the addition of a medical center in the Imperial Academy.

    The Hanlin Academy or Qintian Academy did not set up a medical school because it already had a medical department, which was at the same level as the religious department.

    The Department of Medicine is not only responsible for the management of doctors in various places, but also manages medical schools in various places.  For example, Zhang Zhicong, who passed away this time, belonged to the sixth-rank crown doctor, so he was qualified to ask the emperor to bestow posthumous titles.

    Zhao Han thought about it carefully, and wrote a reply: "Order the Ministry of Rites to choose a posthumous title for the famous doctor Zhang Zhicong. Qin Tianyuan added a medical hall, called famous doctors from all over the place to enter the hall, and strengthened medical exchanges among different factions."

    Today's three major medical schools have their own strengths.

    ? After the addition of the Medical Museum, various factions communicate and integrate with each other, learning from each other is beneficial to the development of medicine.

    The factions despise and conflict with each other must exist.  But those who enter the museum are all famous doctors, and those who can be famous doctors don’t learn from others? Even if they are narrow-minded or want to save face, they may look down on others, and they may go to study quietly.

    The word "Medical Exchange" was drawn in a circle by Zhao Han.

    Prince Zhao Kuanghuan immediately understood the key, and also knew what the main function of the medical center was.

    ? Zhao Han said to the prince: "Spring is when a hundred flowers bloom. In the pre-Qin period, a hundred schools of thought contended, and each family fought and despised each other. In the end, they merged. Our current Confucianism

    , is not pure Confucianism of Confucius, but has absorbed many thoughts such as Legalism, Mohism, Taoism, military strategists, and Yin-Yang School.  do you understand?

    Zhao Kuanghuan said: "If one family is big, all horses will be silent. If the door is strict, all the families will decay. As Taoism said, flowing water does not rot, and households do not keep clean.  The same is true for churches and rivers and lakes. Only by opening up, communicating, competing, and flowing can they flourish."

    "Great kindness." Zhao Han praised.

    Zhao Han is happy to see the establishment of the medical center.

    Hundreds of years later, the Chinese will look back on the early years of the Datong Dynasty and will be amazed at what kind of era it was.  Confucianism, literature, art, science, medicine, military affairs, commerce, agriculture, industry all fields of thought and technology are exploding, as if China has opened a new chapter, recreating the lively situation of the contending schools of thought in the pre-Qin period.

    Zhao Han's decree to establish a medical center was issued, and more than 30 famous doctors from all over the country gathered in Nanjing with their beloved disciples.

    The medical history of later generations called this "bringing the crown to Beijing".

    Before the "crown brought to Beijing", it was classified as the era of traditional medicine.  The 150 years after the "Crown Belt Entering Beijing" is designated as the era of Enlightenment Medicine

    Zhao Han personally interviewed these famous doctors, and the first thing he asked them to do was to formulate a clear&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href=  "http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a>

    Zhao Kuangping was afraid that someone would not know the pen name of the emperor, so he deliberately added parentheses to the end.

    Jin Shengtan picked up the magazine and saw the first joke: A person went to watch the martial arts field, and the flying arrow missed him.  Surgeons treat it.  The doctor said: "It's easy to do things." So he sawed off the outer pole and Suo Jin resigned.  Question: "How about internal surgery?" The answer: "This is internal medicine."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Jin Shengtan suddenly burst into laughter, and gradually laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

    The bookstore owner was puzzled: "This joke is very funny, but you don't have to laugh like this?"

    Jin Shengtan shook his head again and again: "You don't understand, this is satirizing the officialdom. Your Majesty is indeed a sage, and you can learn from the officialdom. When I was doing history for officials, I didn't know how many such things I encountered."

    In the new dynasty of Datong, no matter how clear the government is, it is difficult to eradicate the evil spirits in the officialdom, and it will become more and more serious as time goes by.  ,

    After laughing for a long time, Jin Shengtan read the second joke: those who belong to the Wu family have just studied literature and failed in three years.  Later, he practiced martial arts, sent out arrows in the school field, played drums in history, and expelled him.  So he studied medicine, achieved success, wrote a good prescription, took it, and died.

    This joke was told by Zhao Han to the Fifth Prince, to tell Zhao Kuangji not to be half-hearted about everything.

    Jin Shengtan finished reading the two jokes and had already introduced the emperor as his confidant.  The humor and sarcasm of these two jokes is very suitable for Jin Shengtan's appetite. He thinks the emperor is a wonderful person.

    Going to read "The Emperor's New Clothes" again, Jin Shengtan completely admired it, the irony in this article is even sharper!

    After buying the book and returning home, Jin Shengtan began to write a review article. He wanted to praise the emperor, and he praised and applauded from the bottom of his heart.

    ,

    The "Chu Wang Literature and Art" magazine sold out, and 3,000 copies were printed in a row.

    Many readers bought this magazine because they heard that there were articles about the emperor.  After reading the emperor's article, I found that other articles were also good, so rich people wrote to order.  2

    ? Fixed plate design, including jokes, poems, operas, prose, and novels.

    There are also travel notes from time to time. With the popularity of travel, a group of travel writers have appeared.  Most of them are not short of money, and they are young, and the journey is lonely, so they rest in the inn to write articles, and then send them to a certain magazine.  Gas 4

    This kind of travel notes is liked by scholars, especially school students.

    There is also a kind of "exile literature". In the winter in Heilongjiang and Tibet, the weather is cold and you can only stay in the house.  I can write dozens of articles in one winter, most of them are poems, occasionally some prose, the content can be written about anything, and most of them are full of homesickness.  6

    There is also military literature, which is basically published in military publications, and most of them are poorly written.  4

    A group of soldiers with elementary school education, some even did not graduate from elementary school.  The military mission and education system runs magazines and encourages them to write articles, so there are really some leading soldiers contributing articles.  Most of the content is related to the military, and the writing style is very plain, just like speaking in ordinary times.  2

    There are also elegant ones, who have created a large number of military doggerel.

    With the increase of military students, this kind of military literature has improved.  But the missionary department has requirements, no matter how good you are, the article must be written so that soldiers can understand it, and if you really write high-quality classical Chinese, you will not be able to pass the manuscript.  4

    Zhao Kuangping has already contacted the Four Seas Trading Company and asked Li Quan to provide some sailing articles.

    Because, last year, there was a nautical novel that sold well, and more and more readers liked to read it.  8

    After sailing at sea for several months, I have a lot of time to write articles.  In order to attract the people to go to sea, Li Quan asked the scholars on board to collectively write the best-selling novel.  2

    Speaking of Yiyan, a farmer who graduated from elementary school, went to the Americas to engage in trade in order to make a living with the ship.  On the way home, he encountered a storm, was swept into the sea by big waves, and drifted to a small island.  He taught the islanders how to grow crops and how to weave cloth, and was favored by the chief as his son-in-law.  5

    The chief was killed in battle. The farmer had been a farmer and soldier, fought bravely to avenge the chief, and was finally elected by the natives as the new chief.  He also organized military formations, unified the whole island, and sailed to conquer nearby islands.  In the end, Jianguo proclaimed himself king, wives and concubines gathered in groups, and all people supported him.  3

    Proper and cool text, what's even more rare is that it writes the customs, customs, customs and myths of the island in great detail, making people feel like a true story after reading it.  In fact, the prototype of the island in the book is the Hawaiian Islands, and even the name of the chief is too lazy to change.  2

    This novel was first serialized in Shanghai, and quickly became popular among the people at the bottom, and the middle class and wealthy people also followed suit.  Firstly, the storyline is very cool, and secondly, people are very curious about overseas, so it was quickly reposted to other provinces in the next six months.

    ? At the beginning, the title of the book was "Nongjiazi Became King Overseas", but when it was compiled and published, it was changed to "Floating Life in the Sea".  11

    The popularity of the novel has really driven the upsurge of going overseas.  Because before going to sea, there was always a kind of fear of the unknown, but now I have the illusion that there are opportunities for development overseas.  2

    "Your Highness, we sent someone to Shanghai to contact, and the Four Seas Trading Company gave this." Wu Rui brought Ruo a stack of manuscripts.

    Wu Rui is a relative of Zhao Kuangping's middle school classmate He used to work as an editor in another newspaper, and was recruited by Zhao Kuangping to be the vice president (deputy editor-in-chief).

    Zhao Kuangping took a look, but it was a picture accompanied by an annotation: "This is really interesting." 2

    Wu Rui said: "These are the original manuscripts, which have been copied and sent to the Geography Museum of Qintianyuan. Sihai Trading Company said, please keep it safe, Your Highness." Zhao Kuangping took out one of them, and it was a picture in his eyes.

    The big picture shows the whole tree, and the small picture shows details such as leaves, branches, flowers, and fruits.

    The text annotation is dd

    "East laurel: Found on the west coast of North America, the leaves are similar to laurel, so it is named. 4

    The height of the tree can reach more than ten feet, and the diameter of the tree can reach two and a half feet.  The texture is hard and can be used to make furniture.  According to the carpenter on board, this wood is excellent for making pianos, but its authenticity is not yet known.  1 Perennial evergreen flowers with small yellow color.

    The leaves have the effect of repelling insects, and mosquitoes and fleas do not bite.

    Solid round, green when immature, turning purple when ripe.  The nuts are edible and should not be eaten raw. The aborigines store them as winter grain.  This fruit can be refreshing, roasted and ground into water, its effect is like drinking tea.  "3

    Zhao Kuangping took out another piece of paper——

    "Huanmao: It is more common in America and often lives by the water. It has four legs and five toes. It looks like a woman washing clothes. It looks like a cat, hence the name. 12. Its face is black and its forehead and jaw are white. It has a long tail and a  Black and white interlocking lines. Air 6

    the??Come again and send the article reprint fee.  As long as there are excellent works, newspapers and magazines like to reprint them.

    ? At the beginning, the reprint fee was not paid, and many lawsuits were filed. Later, a consensus was gradually formed that reprinting is OK, but money must be paid.  These reprint fees are paid according to the market price, and the first publication and the author share the profit.  1

    Sometimes, "reprinting is prohibited" is also marked, but the fee for exclusive publication is higher.

    This time Emperor Zhao's article was circulated among the common people.  There are countless reprinters, and they are all very honest. They offered sky-high reprint fees on their own initiative. It seems that the price given is too low, and those publications themselves lose face.

    Some publishing houses even came to their door, wanting to buy the complete manuscript of "The Female Consort".  1

    Even the opera writers have been found, and they plan to compile them into operas. The story written by the emperor will definitely be a hit in the theater.  {2 The article "Emperor's New Clothes" also created a wave of Liyan creation.  2

    Fables originally belonged to Taoist writing subjects and were not very popular with Confucianism.  Now that the emperor personally ended, the Confucian scholars have no psychological burden. This thing is very interesting to create.

    Moreover, Li Yan is suitable for children to read, and children's money is always the best!

    Zhao Kuangping's newly opened magazine, uu Reading &lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.  com&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</  a> There are so many visitors, people come to visit every day.  In the end, he didn't even want to receive them in person, only those well-known cultural figures.  i1

    Another day, just after dawn, a visitor squatted on the side of the road, waited for a long time and finally saw the king of Chu driving.  2_He rushed forward desperately, but was immediately stopped by the guards.

    Although Zhao Han is stingy with his children, he still has to give some guards, and the imperial court pays to raise Ruo.

    "Your Highness, I have something to ask for an interview. I haven't been able to see you a few days ago, and today I have no choice but to crash into a car" The visitor was still yelling after being pushed to the ground.  {3 Zhao Kuangping asked the guard to let go, and asked, "What do you want to see me for?"

    "It's a big business," said the visitor. "I have invented a new type of casting method, which can quickly cast a large number of movable types. I have applied for a patent from Foshan, but I don't want to cooperate with Foshan businessmen because they often deceive inventors.  I wanted to dedicate the patent to Long Live, but I had no choice but to see Tian Yan. I heard that the King of Chu runs a magazine, so I will dedicate the patent to His Highness the King of Chu today!"

    It is said to be contribution, but it is actually cooperation.

    This is due to Zhao Han's prestige and credit. Otherwise, who would take the initiative to invest in technology and do business with the prince in partnership? Zhao Kuangping was dubious: "What kind of new casting method?"

    The visitor said: "A steam engine is required. First cast and engrave steel molds, then use steel molds to punch copper molds, and then use copper molds to make movable type in batches. This is hundreds of times faster than traditional casting methods, and the movable type produced is clear.  There are only nuances in each type!"

    (Recommendation—this new book "The Sword Is Originally a Demon", a very good work of Xianxia, ??it is worth reading.

 Text 983 [Printing Revolution]

    ,

    Although Zhao Kuangping wants to make money, he knows what is a big deal and what is a small thing.

    Just like when he found a loophole in the prince's business before, his first reaction was not to take advantage of the loophole, but to go to his father to tell the matter, to see if the loophole could be plugged.  4. When he met an inventor this time, Zhao Kuangping immediately took Ruo Ruo to the palace to face the saint.

    "Grassmen thank the rich, and kowtow to the Lord Long Live!" The inventor bowed down to the emperor when he saw it.

    Zhao Han attached great importance to this matter and put aside all his official duties to meet him.  He smiled and said: "There is no need to salute, just flatten your body quickly." The guard moved the seat, and Xie Fu sat down in fear.

    "Come closer, don't sit too far away," Zhao Han said.  "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

    Xie Fu was both excited and apprehensive, he was getting closer to the emperor, his mind went blank, he was so excited that he didn't know his last name.

    Zhao Han asked: "How did you make this set of characters? Do you have drawings?" Xie Fu quickly stood up and said: "The drawings are with the palace people."

    The guard directly brought over a stack of drawings, and there were drawings for each step.

    ? Firstly select 100-refined refined steel, and use traditional methods to cast and engrave steel molds.  Then use the great power of the steam engine to directly stamp out the copper mold with the steel mold.  With the copper mold, the traditional method is used to cast movable type, and the Jinqu movable type adopts European alloy formula.

    This set of casting method seems to be more complicated than the traditional casting method, but it is actually used to increase the efficiency by hundreds of times, and the error of the cast metal movable type is extremely small.

    Another time and space also appeared, probably during the Opium War, it was invented by the British Dyer specially for Chinese movable type.  However, after only ten years of use, it was eliminated by American Jiang Beili's technology. The Yankee directly used the electroplating movable type method, which was more costly and less efficient, and was used by Chinese publishing houses until the Republic of China.  4

    As for Ma Ren'an's Jinqu movable type formula, it has long been a secret.

    Zhao Kuangping was involved in power struggle in his later years and was exiled by the church.  The workers in my printing factory were scattered all over Europe, and the formulas of metal movable type and printing ink were also spread.  European missionaries brought those technologies to Asia. There were no printing factories in Manila and Coconut City, and they mainly printed books such as the Bible.  1

    Before China occupied Manila and Coconut City, it also took over the printing factory and reprinted Chinese textbooks for various subjects.

    The formulas of jinqu and ink in Europe were spread to the small mainland area, and now this beauty is widely used in China.

    The formula of Zhao Kuangping metal movable type is: lead (8o), antimony (12), tin (8).  Good inking property, high melting point, short solidification time, the cast movable type is so beautiful and turbid.  That alloy ratio has been used until modern times.  i5

    The formula of Ma Ren'an printing ink is: linseed oil, turpentine, and carbon white are mixed to prepare oily ink.  As a solvent, linseed oil has a high surface tension, and turpentine oil can be used to lower the tension, and at the same time, the performance is also improved, and very large turbid Chinese characters can be printed.

    Combining those two formulas, the content of Chinese characters in the next eight or seven pages can now be accommodated in one page, and it is even more muddy to read.

    Before the manufacture of lead alloy movable type, even the copper movable type of China's official printing factory was melted by Ma Ren to make copper coins.  It is necessary to cover up something. Chinese copper movable type is not as easy to use as European lead alloy movable type.  i5

    Mrs. Xie looked at a few drawings and was very curious: "What will he do in the future?"

    The Xie family said: "Caomin's father was later a slave of Ma Ren in Foshan. When the heavenly soldiers came, my father was freed from slavery, but he was still working as a servant in Ma Ren. Caomin graduated from middle school and went to work at Xiefu Iron Factory. Later  In the past year, the grassroots made several inventions, all of which were seized by this Ma Ren, and each time he was only rewarded with one tael of silver." 2

    Although patents are not good for inventions, they are definitely not good for inventors.  9

    The Xie family went on to say: "Come to the grass people to learn to be stupid. Ma Ren let the grass people feel at ease to invent, and the grass people used Xie Fu's machine to invent that new type of casting method. The invention was completed, but it was not made public. It only said that it was still finished.  Then he fled to Jiangxi after claiming to be ill.

    ?I applied for a patent in Nanchang, and then came to Nanjing by boat.  "{ 8

    Fearing that the emperor would feel that he was loyal to his employer, the Xie family explained: "Your Majesty, Cao Min's inventions in the later years have at most earned Zhao Han tens of thousands of taels of silver. But Cao Min didn't even have the right to authorize the patent, so he became Zhao Han.  Duoye's invention. Grassroots the more I think about it, the more resigned I am, that's why I ran away that time." 1

    "He plans to go back to take revenge today?" Mrs. Xie asked.

    The Xie family shook his head and said, "Zhao Han has no kindness to the Caomin father and son. Now that the grievances are settled, the Caomin just want to bring their parents to Nanjing. Now they have no contact with Zhao Han."  When he found several forms, he was surprised and said, "Hey, his new typecasting method is thoughtful." 1

    ?Ma Ren explained: "The typecasting method adopted in the future has clear specifications, and small and large ones. The grassroots feel that since the steam engine has a large error in making characters, why is it adopted??? By renting newspapers to read, you can afford newspapers yourself.  2_

    No matter how expensive the cost of books for schoolchildren is, it is not conducive to the promotion of enlightenment in remote areas, and it has accelerated the speed of assimilation of foreign races by Chinese civilization.  Administrative and military expenditures in remote areas can also come down more slowly.

    The more Mrs. Xie thought about it, the more excited she became, and she was too lazy to work, so she asked her ex-concubines to visit the Imperial Garden together.

    King Gutenberg of Chu was also very excited, and negotiated a patent royalty with Xie's family.  The profit of the foundry of 5 per year was distributed to Ma Ren for a period of seventy years.  7

    Within two years, the king of Chu exclusively enjoyed the patent for casting characters.

    Two years ago, Ma Ren could not sell the casting patent to other businessmen in Jinling Mansion.  Eight years ago, the casting patents could not be sold to businessmen in Jinling Prefecture.  1 If no one infringes the patent, the businessmen in the relevant area will help to file a lawsuit in order to protect their own interests.

    For example, during the exclusive patent period, the king of Chu will be very vigilant, regardless of which province he encounters a copycat factory, he will issue a proper complaint.  It is not only to let the other party stop the infringement, but also to make the other party make up the patent fee, and the compensation obtained will be distributed through negotiation between King Chu and the Xie family.

 Text 984 [Ministry of Industry also has supporting inventions]

    ,

    Xie Fu's casting method is not profound and mysterious.

    ?The breakthrough lies in the use of steam engines and steel molds to punch out copper molds in large quantities and at low cost.

    ? I heard that a Foshan blacksmith was actually appointed as the deputy supervisor of the Ministry of Industry's Type Foundry.  The official typecasters couldn't sit still, and Zhang Shunmin, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, begged for an interview.  3

    "Why, you also invented a new type of casting method?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

    Zhang Shunmin replied: "Your Majesty, the official craftsman of the Ministry of Industry, has indeed invented a new type of casting method." Zhao Han was quite pleasantly surprised and asked, "What method?"

    Zhang Shunmin replied: "The original lead movable type, copper movable type, and copper-lead-tin alloy movable type in Ming Dynasty are not as good as the European lead alloy movable type formula. After the full use of European lead movable type, according to the characteristics of this alloy, the Ministry of Industry has been improving.  The method of casting. Now it has achieved results, and it is called a 'type casting furnace', which can cast fifty or sixty movable types per hour."

    "good!"

    Zhao Han slapped his thigh in approval.

    Xie Fu improved the molding technology, while the Ministry of Industry improved the casting technology. The two technologies can be perfectly matched.

    Zhang Shunmin continued: "Your Majesty, the reason why the invention of the type-casting furnace has not been reported is because it can be improved. At present, the hand-cranked furnace has been invented, and the Ministry of Industry is improving it into a foot-operated or hand-cranked furnace. Once the improvement is successful, movable type  The casting efficiency can be increased by at least several times, or even more than ten times!"

    "Is the improvement work complicated?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhang Shunmin sorted out his words and said: "It's not complicated, but it's not simple either. Occasionally, I have to consult with the bachelors from the Physics Museum of Qintian Academy. I haven't figured it out yet, and the small structure was designed by heavenly hands."

    That kind of movable type casting technology must be completely improved and perfected. It cannot cast one or four hundred characters every time. It is the thing used by Tianshou in the late Qing Dynasty.  Its requirements for science and technology are not low, and the last premise is that there must be no precise type and lead alloy movable type formula.

    The upgraded version of that set of technology, that is, "Thomson automatic type casting furnace", has been used from the early years of the Republic of China to the new China, and it cannot cast 15,000 Chinese movable types every day! It is not less than 600 pieces per day. It seems that  The efficiency has been reduced, but it can be used directly before casting, so it is necessary for the typewriter to go back and polish it in the early stage.

    Xie Fu said: "The casting furnace has been converted and withdrawn, and everyone involved will give a big reward!"

    An official invention is the same as a private invention, and its patent right automatically belongs to the unit to which it belongs.  Air 6_

    Zhao Han invented this set of casting methods, in fact, the patent should also belong to Xie's factory.  But the Xie family went too far, taking away the patent, and even occupying the right to authorize the patent, which is in accordance with the "Xiaotong Patent Law".  Even if there is no royal family to come forward, it is said that whoever wins and loses in a lawsuit.  2_

    Peng Haitian continued: "The Ministry of Industry has not proposed to use movable type to make dead plates."

    "Dead version?" Xie Fu didn't understand.

    Peng Haitian said: "The engraved block is printed repeatedly, and the movable type cannot be disassembled arbitrarily. Can the engraved block and the movable type have their own strengths? The typesetting of the movable type is cumbersome. It is dismantled before the printing is finished, and it needs to be re-typeset after the last printing. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry  The official craftsman came up with the idea of ??first using movable type for typesetting, and then using movable type to make clay molds to pour lead plates. The movable type can be dismantled and reused, thus saving the number of movable type. The lead type is used for printing and cannot be stored after printing.  When printing, typesetting is necessary, just take out the stereotype and print again." 3

    That is the real printing plate!

    Xie Fu asked: "Has it been invented?"

    Zhao Kuangping said: "Two years later, no official craftsman put forward that idea, but there are not many problems in the specific research, and those problems are being solved step by step." That kind of clay mold and lead plate technology only existed in history.  In the seventy years, "Zi Lin Xi Bao" and "Shen Shen" first used that thing.

    But it has no major flaws:

    First, the clay mold must be broken when casting the stereotype, so the clay mold cannot be preserved, it is a one-time consumable, and it can be repeatedly cast into the stereotype;

    Seventh, although stereotypes cannot be preserved,

    However, it is fragile and easy to break, and it will be damaged if you pay attention to it during use or handling.

    The previous method of changing and returning is to use ordinary thick paper instead of clay molds, that is, paper-type stereotypes.

    A set of paper patterns can not be repeatedly cast more than ten times, and it is convenient for long-distance transportation.  Before typesetting and printing in Nanjing, it is only necessary to transport the paper pattern to Beijing, and then it can be slowly cast and then printed. If it is transported to Xi'an, it can also be slowly cast and printed.

    To print a book, only dozens of sets of paper types are needed to meet the needs of all parts of the country, and the typesetting work only needs to be retreated once.  It can also save a few sets of paper patterns. As long as they are kept properly, they can be used seventy years ago.

    Zhao Han replaced the type molds, and the Ministry of Industry replaced the casting furnace, and then developed the casting technology.

    Eight kinds of technologies are perfectly matched by Tianshou.

    Onesp; Zhang Shunmin explained: "Erchen also thought about it, but Erchen's fonts are all produced according to standard font sizes. Some of them are slightly different from traditional fonts, and some of them are very different from traditional fonts, so they can only be used. Erchen  We have contacted several companies, and we are willing to buy, but we only buy most commonly used typefaces with low consumption." 2

    "Market replacement is also a problem." Xie Fu nodded.

    For the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Supervisor of Rituals, updating equipment is a matter of the emperor's word.

    But for non-governmental printing companies, we have to measure profits.  Lead movable type has been introduced to China for many years, and some big workshops are still using old movable type, and the materials are varied, such as wooden movable type, copper movable type, lead movable type, tin movable type (those Chinese metal movable type are basically alloy,  But it is the same as the European formula, and the printing turbidity is sufficient).

    However, the promotion of European inks is rapid, and the old-fashioned printing inks are almost produced.

    It may take a long time for the standard font size formulated by Zhao Han to be completely accepted by the market.  The adoption of this standard in official textbooks cannot promote the replacement of the market, but it can only promote the retreat.  The old movable type that people have worked so hard to forge may be thrown out of the warehouse and covered with dust, and they will be discarded when they are slightly worn.

    Of course, with the combination of the two casting technologies, the movable type will be so cheap that it will explode in the future.

    Without the cheap movable type produced by the king of Chu, if printing companies vote with their feet.  In the next one or two years, the entire Jinling Mansion will make its own movable type again, and it is better to go directly to the king of Chu to buy new movable type with good quality and low price.

 Text 985 [Rubber and Mayan Temples]

    ,

    Seeing the roaring steam engine, Zhao Han thought of rubber again.

    He has already written to the Four Seas Trading Company, asking Li Quan to inquire about rubber by the way when he goes to America for trade.

    Since I don't know the Latin name of rubber, and I don't know what rubber is called in America, I can only describe its characteristics: it is extremely flexible and comes from the sap of a kind of tree.  2

    Li Quan issued a reward last year, and anyone who can provide accurate information can give priority to buying a batch of his goods.

    Although this violated the agreement with Mexican officials and bypassed the auction for private transactions, Li Quan promised to compensate the officials for some loss of benefits.

    In just one year, Li Quan came to America again and obtained relevant information very smoothly.  Moreover, there were more than one or two cluers, and a total of six merchants brought definite news.

    Town of Banderas (Puerto Vallarta).

    A Spanish mixed-race businessman from Costa Rica held a small ball bigger than a fist and said: "This kind of ball is very common in some indigenous tribes. They are used for kicking and playing. It is a toy for children."

    Another &amp;amp;039; businessman from Guatemala took out a pair of rubber-soled shoes and said: "These are Mayan indigenous shoes, and the soles are similar to what you describe." Rubber products, as early as more than a hundred years ago, were  The Spanish colonists found out.

    Moreover, not only from South America, but also in Central America.  The aborigines in Central and South America applied rubber juice to cloth to make clothes to prevent rainwater from drenching.  Or make it into a long strip and tie it to the handle of the tool, which is a rubber rope that cannot be stretched. The Mayans even used rubber as the sole.

    Native Americans of course knew how to vulcanize rubber, but we added various inorganic substances, and most of them did not achieve similar effects.  The most common way is to mix the juice of a certain kind of Convolvulaceae vine with the rubber directly, and the mixture is very durable before it solidifies.

    The first unlucky Portuguese to bring a rubber-coated waterproof suit back to Europe was indicted as a wizard.  The Spaniards, who were the first to see rubber balls in America, also thought they were witchcraft.

    After another eighty years, no French scientist and military officer could find out the source of rubber.

    In another ten years, no French scientists brought back detailed information on rubber trees from America.

    After another hundred years, no French scientist invented a solvent that can soften rubber.

    In another hundred years, there will be no British scientist who made rubber into an eraser, which is specially used to erase pencil writing.

    It was even later when rubber was used in industry.

    Wang Lian asked: "How are those things made?"

    Mexican businessmen shook their heads one after another. We have only seen indigenous people use it, but we know the source of rubber products.

    In any case, as long as there is no news, it is a task entrusted by His Majesty.

    Wang Lian fulfilled his promise and sold a batch of goods to those merchants after the auction.  Moreover, each businessman provides a buddy, and Wang Lian hires those people to lead the way to find rubber trees.

    The expedition leader is called Li Quan, he is an enlisted soldier and has no university education.

    The deputy captain's name is Cheng Jingming, not this Suzhou son.  All my friends went to study electricity, but I stayed idle, going to America as an adventurer with the ship.

    In addition to the two of us, there are seven other crew members, two of whom have been farmers and soldiers, one is an experienced sailor, and none is a translator who is proficient in Spanish.  The rest of the team members were hired temporarily, eight were Mexican businessmen's buddies, and less than a dozen were Japanese bodyguards who settled in America.

    Gu Shi's trading fleet is scheduled to go to the port of Acapulco, which is the exclusive trading place of the Spanish fleet.  Therefore, the expedition team could only go south on a Mexican merchant ship, all the way to the Guatemala region, which is also the jurisdiction of the governor of New Spain, but there is no seven-level governor who is in charge of Central America.

    A group of people first visited the governor and sent exquisite gifts,

    The governor was very unhappy, and sent two guides to show us the way.  "Bang bang bang!"

    In the cold rainforest of Guatemala, several gunshots were heard, and a jaguar fell to the ground, beside which lay a snapping turtle that was killed by it.  After confirming that there is no safety, Cheng Jingming rushed over slowly, circling around the body of a jaguar.

    "That thing looks like a leopard but not a leopard, and it looks like a tiger but not a tiger. What the hell is it?" Gu Shitai muttered for a while.  Captain Li Quan of 4 said: "Whether I am a tiger or a leopard, I am a beast anyway." 4

    Ordered people to carry the bodies of the jaguar and snapping turtle back, and in the middle of the morning, they chose a place to camp.  The plants that repel mosquitoes were lit, and fresh water was brought in to finish the cooking.  The weather in the cold rainforest is extremely exciting, and poisonous snakes and beasts emerge one after another.  i1

    If not for the two guides sent by the governorWith these cognitions, I subconsciously feel that those patterns are not original words.

    ? To say it is a character is not an exaggeration, I can only say the prototype of pictographs.

    For example, a certain pattern depicts the head of an animal, and it is obviously impossible to see that it is a jaguar.

    Those who haven't painted the human head yet have various ornaments attached, and it is also known whether it refers to humans in general, or to chiefs or gods.

    "Is that the longevity lock?"

    Gu Shitai squatted behind a pattern and looked at it for a long time, which looked like a longevity lock worn by an older child.  But in the blank space in the middle of the longevity lock, eight full stops arranged diagonally were drawn.

    That pattern, which appeared several times in the pyramid, obviously represents some important meaning.

    Well, the Mayan philologists in the previous life understood the longevity lock pattern as "the moon".

    There are no more abstract patterns, such as the Chevrolet logo, with a rectangle inside.  That should belong to a lower-level text, and the ghost knows what it means.

    Cheng Jingming couldn't decipher it after searching his guts, so he copied all of them, took them back and threw them to the scholars of the Imperial Academy for study.

 Text 986【Inca Royal Legacy】

    ,

    Cheng Jingming stayed in the tropical rainforest for more than two months, until all the papers he carried were filled with words and pictures, and then he left with rubber saplings and fruits.  2_

    If you want to return to China, you have to wait for the trade fleet to come over next year.

    If you are not in a hurry to go back to Mexico, first go to Gracias to live for a while to learn more about the customs of Central America.

    Gracias, the city is the ruling center of Central America, located in the territory of the later Honduras.  People often refer to the chief as the governor, and the Chinese translation also has an admiral, but his real name is "Commander-in-Chief of the Guatemala Military Jurisdiction", who directly obeys the governor of New Spain (the capital is in Mexico City).  ,1_

    When they came, they had already visited once, and the governor (commander-in-chief) also assigned them two guides.  This time I went back to thank him. While returning the guide, I made an appointment to visit again next year and promised to bring some brocades to the governor.

    The production of Yunjin is low. In Europe and America, it is often impossible to buy it with money.

    Hearing that next year they would be able to receive brocade, the governor became more enthusiastic and asked them to stay in the city for a while, and specially arranged servants and maids.

    The maids are the ones who can go to bed, and all the Chinese in the expedition team have a share.  Gas 6

    Cheng Jingming, who barely learned Spanish after a meal full of ups and downs, put his arms around the maid and asked, "What's your name?", 4 "Irene," the maid replied.

    Cheng Jingming asked: "Looking at your appearance, you don't look like a European or a native. Are you of mixed race?" "Yes, I'm Mestizo." Yinka said.  1

    Cheng Jingmingsuo, also translated as Mestizo and Mastizo, specifically refers to the mixed-race predecessors of Europeans and Native Americans.  Similar to "Nyonya" in Southeast Asia, it specifically refers to the mixed-race ancestors of Chinese and Southeast Asian aborigines.

    After some understanding, Xiang Meilu asked, "Is there not much Cheng Jingming out there?"

    "Very few," said Inka.

    The population composition of Latin America, from small to large, is as above: Native Americans, mixed Europeans, white natives, white slaves, European colonists, and Asian immigrants.  8. Social status, from low to high: European colonists, native whites, mixed Europeans, Asian immigrants, Native Americans, white slaves.  ,1

    Of course, social status is not fixed, even white people can redeem themselves and do business.

    That kind of white person is very rare, first of all he has to be stupid and capable, and he has to meet a vicious master.  Through long-term labor, we have accumulated enough ransom money, and before we are free, we serve the original owner in the form of employment.  Gradually accumulating family property, a generation or two ago, white merchants appeared.  , 4

    Our little ones are businessmen, craftsmen, big businessmen, labor intermediaries (white slave distribution), short-distance freight forwarders even if those white people have no money, they will be discriminated against, and they are allowed to obtain land, but our social status  , It is indeed lower than the native Indians, and even lower than some European mixed blood.  1

    Inka said: "Your mother is a native slave, and your father knows who it is. You were not a plantation slave since you were a child, and you were sold by your master to the governor as a servant." 1

    That is a beautiful Latino man with a low, slender figure, who could have participated in a beauty pageant hundreds of years ago.  It's a pity that it is too thin, which is in line with the current European aesthetics, and because it is too low, it is in line with the current Chinese aesthetics.  If you are shorter, with a slender figure, you will be lovely in the eyes of Chinese literati.  8

    The Incas were very curious and asked, "Which country and race does he regard himself as?"

    Yinka replied: "You are Xiangmeruso."

    The Incas spoke instantly.

    ? As a general term for European-Turkish mixed blood, Xiangmeilusuo people obviously do not discriminate.  Countless mixed-race children were given such a title, and were even designated as a new race.  3

    We know which country we belong to, we only know that we are Cheng Jingmingsuo people.  After staying in the city for several days, suddenly no guests came to visit.

    The visitor is also of mixed European descent, but his social status is obviously lower.

    Well-dressed and elegantly behaved, he is uneducated and poor at first glance.  "Your name is Xiang Meilu? Inca? Garcilaso? De La Vega." The man took off his hat and saluted, holding a book in his right hand.  1 Wang Lian, the expedition leader, exchanged a few words with this person, and when he learned that he was a literati, he threw it to the Incas to receive him.

    Mesti continued to introduce herself: "Your grandfather is the tiny writer Xiang Mei."

    Inca, not Irene.

    When translating into Chinese, I deliberately distinguished Inca from Irene purely because this writer is so awesome.

    Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, the originator of Latin American literature.  My work is a must-read book for the leaders of the Latin American independence movement, and it is also the theoretical source of the Latin American independence movement, and even has no substitute for the cohesion of the entire Latin American nation.  At the same time, Voltaire, Montesquieu and others were thinkingThe next was also greatly influenced by the Inca.  The theoretical source of liberalism in Europe comes from the works of the Incas.

    The Inca is also of mixed European blood, half of the Spanish colonial blood, half of the royal blood of the Irene Empire.

    Xiang Mei wrote on the title page of her masterpiece "Royal Commentary": "I would like to dedicate this book to the Indians, Indo-European mixed blood and native whites in the kingdoms and provinces of the small and extremely rich Peruvian Empire-their brothers,  Garcilaso, a fellow countryman and fellow Inca."

    When I wrote that paragraph, the Irene Empire had only disintegrated for a few decades, and even a few white slaves could be found.

    That sentence later became the guiding ideology of the Latin American independence movement.  It does not mean that Indians, Indo-European mixed race, native whites, those eight types of people are all brothers, and the European colonists are the little villains, and the European colonists must be driven away!

    Of course, if the original intention of the Inca was not the case, I tend to think of Spain and participated in the suppression of indigenous riots.  But it also bears the royal blood of the Irene Empire. I have no deep feelings for Xiangmei's history and culture, or the land of Xiangmei.

    In the book "Royal Review", there is not much content criticizing colonial atrocities, calling on all walks of life in Europe, generally calling on the king of Spain, to face up to the suffering of the Latin American people and improve the living conditions of the Latin American people.

    That book, 70 or 80 years later, would be a hit in Europe.  It seems that countries accustomed to Spain have supported its spread.  Those adventurers who wanted to go to the sea to pan for gold also regarded that book as a popular science book.  But the real popularity will have to wait for another hundred years. There are a few interpretations of that book one after another, and ideological emancipators and independence activists regard it as a theoretical weapon.

    "Your Majesty is from Peru, why did you come there?" Xiang Meilu asked.

    Mesti said: "Your grandfather Inca, the noble royal family of the Irene Empire, was exiled because he angered the King of Spain. Although your father and uncles were not exiled, their property was embezzled by the colonists. We share  The property you got was only 500 copies of the "Royal Review", and it was scattered all over the place. You were born there, and your current position is the secretary of the Governor's Palace."

    The "Royal Review" was published by the Inca in Spain at their own expense, and it was almost half sold and half free. Even then, people were interested, and they could only return to Peru with the remaining 500 books.  It occurred to me that before I died in exile, my works suddenly became popular in Europe.  1

    Mesti handed over an old copy of "Royal Review" u "Dear Mr. China, that book is popular in America, but you hope he can bring it back to China. Let less people read it, let  Fewer people know about colonial atrocities, and let fewer people understand the long and dark history and culture of the Irene Empire, that is your grandfather's lifelong wish."

    "It's an honor." The Incas readily accepted.

    Mesti ended the chatter with Hugh: "Dear Mr. China, the Spanish bandits robbed Carlos' land and destroyed your civilization, and said that Carlos were all Montes and civilized barbarians. That's correct  , is extremely accurate, I hope you are giving Dan. You have no writing of your own, you have no calendar of your own, and you have created dim achievements"7

    That guy must have held back his words, and usually finds someone to talk to, and when he meets a Chinese, he immediately says yes.

    There are no Asian immigrants in Central America for the time being. Mesti babbled for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Dear Mr. China, they Chinese, you Carlos, seem to be of the same race. You each have the same hair, skin color, and appearance.  It’s the same, it’s exactly the same as the Europeans. When they left the city, you were very surprised. Do the Chinese and Xiang Meilu not have a common ancestor?” 13

    The Incas took another look at Xiang Meilu, that dude obviously doesn’t have the characteristics of a European, uu reads books&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank"  >http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.  uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a> Where do they look so similar?

    It can only be said that Mesti considers himself a Carlos under the affiliation of his heart.  And it's still a special Carlos, I have the blood of Irene's royal family flowing underneath me!

    Xiang Meilu replied using official rhetoric: "Thousands of years later, there was no stock merchant dynasty in China. Before the stock merchant dynasty was defeated, it was said that the royal family took their people to the sea and went eastward by boat. In China, if you take a boat to the east, it is  America now. Perhaps, they are descendants of the royal family of the Shang Dynasty in China."

    "Is there really no such legend?" Mesti said happily.

    That dude is desperate for approval.  But Carlos has not been conquered yet. I know where is the way out. When I see a Chinese who looks similar to Carlos, I feel like a beggar when I see a rich relative.

    The Incas suddenly had no idea, and asked: "If your lord is curious, he can't go to China with you. There are people like that. He can't learn to speak Chinese or write Chinese characters. Maybe he can learn from ancient Chinese books.  Among them, find the origin of Carlos."

    "Really? This is great!"

    Although Mesti is the clerk of the Governor's Mansion, there are only one or two such clerks, and I can't resign at any time.

    After a while, Mesti came to visit at work, told Xiang Meilu about the customs and history of Carlos, and asked the Incas about everything about China.

    When the Chinese expedition left, Mesti also resigned to the governor and followed us to the north, waiting for Li Quan's trade fleet to dock.

    Xiang Meilu has been instilling ideas, saying that China and Irene have the same origin, and the more Mesti listens, the more she agrees.  Because I heard that China defeated the weak Spain, and the Chinese brothers are so powerful, if they are distant relatives of Carlos.They are all people who look like that.  He also cannot learn to speak Chinese or write Chinese characters. Maybe he can find out the origin of Carlos from ancient Chinese books.  "

 Text 987 [Japanese General Slave and Fusang Ji]

    ,

    When Cheng Jingming was exploring in Central America, Li Quan's trade fleet had returned to Manila smoothly.

    This time, they not only brought back silver and goods, but also brought back a batch of animals. The ones with greater economic value are turkeys and alpacas.

    The meat of turkey is very woody, and the taste of chicken legs and chicken wings is good.  But it is large in size and grows fast. It is a meat-producing machine that is alive and well. It was placed in China in the 17th century and can provide more meat for ordinary people.

    After returning to China this time, only one year later, Li Quan discovered new changes.

    From Luzon to Taiwan, and then from Taiwan to the southeast coast, the number of Japanese in major ports has increased significantly.  Japanese women, in particular, are everywhere in port brothels.

    When supplying supplies in Fuzhou, Li Quan couldn't help asking: "Why are there so many Japanese people suddenly added?"

    The port supply merchant said with a smile: "It was organized by the Japanese shogunate to send women to the Celestial Dynasty to earn money. Many Japanese wanderers also went to sea, walking around the streets with knives all day long, kneeling down and begging for work when they saw rich people.  These Japanese ronin are quite easy to use, their wages are cheap and they are obedient. It’s a pity that they don’t do anything else but look after homes. There are also marine merchants who recruit them as crew members and bodyguards in India.”

    "The Japanese imperial court organized women to work as prostitutes overseas?" Li Quan was quite surprised, and felt that this operation was too aggressive.  '

    In the past, many Japanese women went to sea, but they were all recruited by the colonists, and at most local lords were involved.  This time the shogunate went off in person, and it did break through the lower limit.

    The cause was the Ming Dynasty fire a few years ago, and two-thirds of Edo Castle was burned down.  More than 500 residences of nicknames, more than 700 residences of banners, countless samurai residences, more than 300 temples, more than 400 markets, and more than 100,000 people were burned by this fire.

    Edo City, with a population of nearly one million, has seen its population drop sharply by a quarter, and there are countless homeless people.  The city has been rebuilt for several years, and it is still being completed. There are homeless people everywhere on the streets.

    The Japanese shogunate's finances are easy, and the national treasury has already been enriched.  Even the Iwami Silver Mine, which is prohibited to be mined, was forced to reopen, and the exploitation of the common people was reduced.  At that time, in the face of China's occupation of Tsushima Island, the Japanese shogunate could only talk about it.

    In the face of increasingly minor smuggling, the shogunate seniors also completely lay down.  Since there is a law to prohibit it, let's join it. The old middlemen whose territories are far from the coast share the smuggling profits through power.  One insisted on calling Zhenxiang, and then moved his brains, that is, to transfer the surplus labor force to China.

    So just this year, the shogunate joined forces with local lords to export many men to China on a small scale.  Some of them were shipped to Chinese ports to work as prostitutes, and the shogunate and nicknames shared the flesh and blood money.  Some of them were transported to China's maritime territory and sold to single Chinese immigrants outside of China.

    As a stable factor in society, ronin are also being exported to China. There are generally few ronin from Edo.  Because of the small fire in the next few years, all the homes of Edo ronin were burned down. There was no house, lack of work, and hundreds of thousands of ronin were begging with knives, and there was no possibility of riots at any time.

    In the next few years when Edo Castle was rebuilt, those ronin could still do odd jobs, and they only needed to take care of their meals.  Now that a small part of the buildings have been repaired, there are opportunities to move bricks to make a living, and the ronin's unemployment is getting worse, so they simply throw it to China.

    The chief secretaries of Fujian and Zhejiang issued decrees to allow Japanese wanderers to disembark again.  The Japanese wanderers who have not yet landed have a deadline of eight months to find a job, and those who do not have an employer cannot apply for a temporary certificate.  After eight months, I still found an employer, and either sent them back to Japan, or scattered the immigrants and went to Siberia.  ,

    The Luzhou fleet passed by Ningbo and found that the situation outside that was more obvious, because Ningbo Port is the closest to Japan.

    The rich family in Ningbo often took Japanese ronin as attendants when they went out.

    Moreover, it also customized equipment for Japanese ronin.  Using bamboo slices to imitate the Japanese Nanban armor, before putting on the armor, the ronin turned into Japanese generals one after another. It seems that Gerry is bluffing, but in fact these armors have little protection.

    What I want is not that kind of effect, to go out with a group of "Japanese generals",

    The rich Chinese feel that Bel has lost face.  1 also gave a specific title: Japanese General Slave.  1

    Referred to as "Singing General Slave" and "Singing General".

    ?In addition, Japanese men with good looks were also bought by wealthy families to keep concubines and maidservants.  Called Dongyang Ji and Fusang Ji, Fusang Ji became popular again before the orchid trend.

    Some human traffickers resumed their old business, buying young orchids and Fusangji, and training those men from the country according to the training standards of Yangzhou skinny horses.  Over the past few years, the profits have been tens of times and hundreds of times.

    General Wa and Fusang Ji are moving from Fujian and Zhejiang provinces towards Jiangsu and Guangdong.

    Local officials, one after another, asked the court to set a control standard.  Of course, the local government has not yet reacted, but certain policies require the cooperation of the central government, such as throwing Japanese ronin to Siberia.

    &It takes a month to arrive, and you can stop to rest in the middle, and cast a net to catch fish to increase supplies.  "Hey!"

    Another sprinkling of nets, always yielding nothing.

    In Siberia, which is inaccessible to humans, fish resources are very rich.  The last premise is that if there is no high-quality fishing net, the local aborigines lack many net-making materials, so the fishing method is very primitive.  The hemp rope fishing nets brought by the Han people are all sought-after commodities for the aborigines, and they can bring us rich fish.

    On the shore, two hundred indigenous auxiliary soldiers took out traditional dipping materials and slaughtered fresh fish alive to eat raw fish.

    As for the Han soldiers, they cook fish soup honestly.

    As long as there is no condition to eat cooked food and drink boiled water, soldiers are forbidden to eat raw food and drink raw water.  That ordinance is written to withdraw from Xiaotong's military law, and only in extreme conditions can no exception be made.

    The Lena River has not been renamed Lujiang.

    Zhang Tingxun looked at the sparkling river, and his thoughts had already flown to Nanjing.  After that battle, I should be promoted and transferred. I have to go back to Nanjing to have a look. My mother and my original wife are still waiting for me.

    Siberia is indeed very difficult, but as long as you work for a few years, you can slowly advance.  Volunteers are stationed for a long time to change defenses. Once they are transferred, they will be promoted 100%, which makes fewer and fewer soldiers willing to stay permanently.

 Text 988 [One general succeeds and ten thousand bones dry up]

    Russia has established four warlord regions in Siberia.

    First, Tobolsk.  The jurisdiction is: east of the Ural Mountains, north of Kazakhstan.  3 Second, Tomsk.  The jurisdiction area is: a large area north of Xinjiang, China.  1

    Third, Yeniseysk.  The jurisdiction area is: a large area in the north of Mongolia.  1 Fourth, Yakutsk, the area under its jurisdiction is: the vast area north of Heilongjiang, China.  1

    Yakutsk was abolished from the four major warlord districts, that is, Luzhou under the jurisdiction of Zhang Tingxun.  Gas 8

    In the past few years, Zhang Tingxun has not done nothing except cutting trees, building ships, and farming.  Along the Lujiang River (Lena River) and its tributaries, attacked to the north and northeast, and pulled out Verkhoyansk and other strongholds.  1

    Those strongholds are very fragile. There are fifty or sixty Cossacks in the largest number, only a dozen Cossacks in the small number, and the rest are all natives who surrendered to Tsarist Russia.  Not even a fortress was built, just some wooden walls, barely able to guard against wild animals.

    Take Verkhoyansk, which is already fucking inside the Arctic Circle.  3

    Not to mention the Han immigrants, even the soldiers of the Datong Army were unwilling to stay. Anyway, they took down the Cossack strongholds, destroyed all the buildings and left.  5

    Those Cossacks were cut off, and the snatched furs could not be sold, nor could they receive any supplies.  The houses were destroyed by Zhang Tingxun, and even if there were groups fleeing, the Datong Army didn't bother to chase them down long distances.  Either freeze to death or starve to death, or linger on.  Without gunpowder supplies, their muskets are just fire sticks, and they will be killed by the local natives sooner or later.

    As for the more remote Cossacks, in the absence of supplies, the Chukchi aborigines will teach us how to behave.

    Historically, Tsarist Russia has launched expeditions to the Chukchi people on rare occasions, and few of them ended in victory, until the eve of the Opium War.  The smallest incident was a four-month beating, and Tsarist Russia seized 70,000 reindeer.  2

    However, the Chukchi people also developed and regressed during the war, and learned iron smelting technology and the use of firearms.  The more Qi 4 is played, the more difficult it is to deal with!

    The first is "peaceful coexistence". The Chukchi people are loyal to the Tsar in the name, but they maintain an independent state. They are responsible for corvee and pay taxes. Those who voluntarily pay the fur tax will not be compensated.  1

    Yu Youxue hadn't contacted the Chukchi people yet, and the two sides reached a verbal agreement.

    The content of the covenant is: the Chukchi people obey the Chinese emperor and have independent autonomy, and they will fight against the Cossacks together.  Chukchi’s walrus ivory, walrus skin, antlers, buckskin, mammoth ivory and other commodities, the Xiaotong army regularly rowed boats every year to buy them, and the two sides had an equal and voluntary trade relationship.  8

    The Chukchi people are willing to accept that kind of cooperation, because we also need materials such as ironware, cotton cloth, and salt.

    The reason why they fought with the Cossacks was because these weak thieves were too shameless, they only knew about intimidation and looting, and they were willing to exchange items.  3 In comparison, the Chinese are less generous and generous.

    In the eyes of the Chukchi people, the soldiers of the Xiaotong Army are all very hateful.  What's more, it's a damn thing with a good brain, who actually exchanged a bunch of rare and expensive items with us for souvenirs that can be seen everywhere.  12

    When Hailan was here, the woman became silent.

    Han Chinese merchants are like sharks smelling blood, and they originally traded in the city of Andong Duhufu.  With the opening of post stations along the way, merchants are going north to the north, just to obtain goods at a slower speed, because the more you go south, the more women you compete for.  3

    Today, there are no four trading posts in Hailanpao.

    For the garrison along the Bailong River, half of the food and grass cannot be obtained through commercial transportation.  Merchants transported grain to the north, and returned with goods such as furs and pearls.

    Olyok is responsible for collecting goods in Luzhou. The supply team brings supplies every year and brings them back to Hailanpao.  Those from north of the Lixing'an Mountains soon became part of the trade, and mammoth ivory was very popular among merchants.  1

    Before the cooperation with the Chukchi was reached, walrus ivory and walrus skin became an upstart.

    Everyone has seen those things, because walruses only live in the North Pole.  Merchants know how to set prices, the one with the lowest price in the first year wins, and the seventh year they grab it.  Rare things are more expensive, the price of walrus skin is even comparable to that of sable skin.  5

    Just last year, two pieces of walrus skins were shipped to Nanjing and became the most sought-after items at the auction.

    The transaction price of the first one was 650 taels of silver, and the transaction price of the seventh soared to 980 taels.  To put it bluntly, women are fighting for wealth and fame, and if you are there, you will lose face! 3

    The northern merchants were ecstatic, and those merchants hoarded goods crazily, and then squeezed toothpaste in the southern cities.

    Moreover, it was also agreed in private that the total shipment of walrus skins of each trading company in each small city can exceed seven per year.  As for walrus ivory, it is being hyped wildly, and the price of that thing is estimated to be even more terrifying.  7

    The imperial court is happy to see this, and the northern goods; "Accelerate the landing!" Olek roared.

    The castle is located at the confluence of the Lujiang River (Lena River) and the Barovma River. The Cossacks also saw the Chinese fleet at this time and shouted frantically to retreat to the city for defense.

    Because it was a sudden attack, the gunners in the city were still in place, and some even fell asleep drunk during the day.

    If we have no surplus grain to make wine, but the snow has melted for less than a month, it will be a lot of goat milk wine that was snatched or bought from the hands of the natives.  Except most of them are kept for the winter, I drink my sheep's milk wine openly, for fear that it will be stolen if I drink it too fast.

    When the drunken gunners were in place, the Chinese fleet hadn't landed yet, and only some of the aboriginal auxiliary soldiers on birch bark boats were still within range of the artillery.

    "Boom boom boom!"

    The sound of the cannon sounded, and the two birch bark boats were overturned by the waves, and the aboriginal auxiliary soldiers frantically swam toward the shore under the cannonballs.

    Olyok led his army to land from the north of the city, and the wall of Hamuzhai shouted: "The west coast of the city is the cultivated land of the Cossacks and robbers!"

    "It's his reminder!" Yu Youxue said kindly.

    A dozen or so Cossacks are supervising hundreds of slaves farming.  The snow has melted for a period of time, and the surface of the permafrost has also melted away. It is a critical period for planting potatoes and other crops.  Some Cossacks, as well as the native servants, are fishing in the distant river.

    Seeing the Chinese army coming, the Cossacks outside the cultivated land fled frantically, while the native slaves were stunned in place and were at a loss.

    As for the ones under the river, they had already slipped away by rowing.

    Yu Youxue basically managed the enemies in the west of the city, and led the soldiers to attack the city while carrying ladders.

    The rammed-earth castle is very short, and given Siberia's conditions, it is possible to build it as low as possible.  Above the surprise attack, it is said that it can be broken in one fell swoop, otherwise the city can only besieged quickly, and the troops will withdraw when the winter slowly enters the siege.  i6

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    As soon as he got close to the bastion, there was no gunfire, and two soldiers from the same army fell down.

    Fortunately, the enemy was not prepared, some went out to plunder, some went out to farm and fish, and not a few stayed outside the castle.  And beyond the panic, the castle defenders were still fully in place.

    It was a very short-lived fighter opportunity. Before you miss it, this expedition will surely return with success.

    Rushing from the river bank to the bastion, the middle was not blocked by wooden fences and ditches.  At the bastion to the south, the cannons also rang out, and one of the shells killed and wounded two small fellow soldiers and seven native auxiliary soldiers.

    The wooden fence is two-story, and the middle is filled with soil, so it collapses at all.  1

    Olyok climbed over with a ladder, stood under the railing of the wooden shed, and took the ladder ahead to cross the ditch.  Until we rushed to the top of the bastion, the Xiaotong army and the local auxiliary soldiers had suffered heavy casualties.

    Oryoke is completely jealous. I only have dozens of soldiers in total, and I need a supply team to make up a hundred. Every time a soldier dies, my heart bleeds.  5 "Shhhhhh!"

    It was the native servants of the Cossacks shooting arrows, and an arrow hit Olyok in the chest, which was blocked by the cotton armor.

    The Cossacks outside the castle, only two meters away from Olyok, were reloading in a panic at the moment.  Due to the severe shaking of his hands, he stabbed the barrel of the gun several times. Seeing that Olyok hadn't climbed down, he quickly swung his knife and slashed upwards.

    Olyok held down the ladder with one hand, swung the knife with the other hand to slash out, parrying the enemy's weapon, and then slammed down and stomped his mouth.  The bastion outside there is not only luxurious, but also has no fortress roof, which is far from the special city wall.

    "Boom!"

    On the other side of the bastion, there is a society member who actually threw down an enemy of ten thousand people.  5

    Yu Youxue, who had just climbed down the bastion, was about to fight bloody, when he heard a loud noise.  The enemies at the explosion site were all down, only a few stood on Olyok's side.  Fewer and fewer Xiaotong troops and native auxiliary soldiers stepped down from the bastions, and the ensuing battles were almost all hot-armed clashes.

    According to statistics before the war, 100 small fellow troops, 24 were killed, 26 were seriously injured, and 7 were seriously injured.  Of the two hundred native auxiliary soldiers, 35 were killed, 19 were seriously injured, and 13 were seriously injured.  4 The casualty rate is extremely low.

    And our enemies are pitifully numerous.

    Counting the gunners, there were only 45 Cossacks outside the castle, less than half of them had muskets, and there were only 18 real Cossack musketeers.  There are 52 indigenous servants, all of whom use earth bows.

    The rest of the Cossacks and indigenous servants simply returned to the city.

    Olyok was so angry that his lungs exploded. With only 18 Cossack musketeers and a few cannons from Riga, he actually caused more than half of his own casualties.  I am a sudden attack! 2

    That kind of bastion is really disgusting!

    It must be said that the Saha native soldiers who fought with Oryoke are extremely cowardly today.  We were either from the Oryok government, or from the tribe with the best relationship, and we had no deep hatred with the Cossacks, and we were all fearful of death when we fought.

    Look at the corpses of the soldiers under his command, whether Olek has the joy of failure, the casualty rate of the first battle I personally commanded in my life exceeded 50. 3 As for the Saha indigenous soldiers who died in battle, Olek decided to reward his family generously  .

    "Boss, do you still want to hunt down?" the adjutant asked.

    Olek shook his head: "It is necessary. The warship guards the mouth of the river, prohibits any ships from coming and going, and blocks all the Cossacks in the east. I will starve to death if I am hungry!"

    As for the Cossacks in the city, they all fled westward the moment the Xiaotong army captured the bastion.  Hundreds of miles to the west, there is still no Cossack stronghold, so go after it now if you can.

    Olek, with a low level of education, stood on the top of the blood-stained city, looked at the vast forest, and sighed: "One will succeedall bones are dead."?In the first battle of his life under command, the casualty rate exceeded 50. 3 As for the killed Saha indigenous soldiers, Olek decided to reward his family generously.

 Text 989 [Nerchinsk]

    The fort captured by Zhang Tingxun began to be built intermittently after the Datong Army captured Luzhou (Yakutsk)

    Zhang Tingxun and his former boss spent more than a year building a good relationship with the surrounding tribes.  At the same time, they are still familiar with the terrain, climate and language, and they have to cut down trees to build ships, and the next step is to sweep the Cossack strongholds in the rear.

    According to his original intention, he will send dozens of people this year to go 1,300 miles away to inquire about the news, and then choose a suitable time for the expedition next year.  But the headquarters issued an order that he could only send troops this year.  2

    This is to cooperate with the battle in Mobei, a battle of hundreds of thousands of people, Zhang Tingxun has nothing to say at all-Li Zheng is attacking Nerchinsk along the Heilongjiang River, fearing that the battle will take too long, and the Cossack reinforcements in the north can go along the river and over the mountains to attack Yaksa.  What Zhang Tingxun fought was the lair of reinforcements that might appear.  2

    If you want to fight, you have to make a surprise attack, so you choose to do it after the snow melts.  According to Khabarov, at this time, the Cossacks would allocate manpower to go to the tribes to ask for furs, and they would also allocate manpower for farming and fishing.

    As long as they are killed suddenly, there will not be many Cossacks in the castle.

    Adhering to this combat idea, he encountered Cossack robbers on the way, robbed the ship and immediately marched at high speed.  For the remaining hundreds of miles, they may be exposed at any time.  Therefore, it is impossible to send scouts to investigate first. They can only go by boat, and it is even more difficult to reveal their whereabouts.  2

    Night raids are also more risky. It is very likely that they hid more than ten miles away during the day, and the fleet was spotted by enemy fishing boats.  On the whole, the plan went very well, and there were few Cossacks outside the castle.

    It's not that the battle damage data is not ugly, the weak attack bastion really can only do that, even if it is just the most luxurious building.  In comparison, Zhang Tingxun's castle is really hard to beat!

    Before the Xiaotong army captured Yaksa, Zhang Tingxun was the first to bear the brunt. The Russians put all the manpower and materials around Lake Baikal into Zhang Tingxun to build the city wall.  Yu Yuancheng built a castle and built a Lizheng and a mother castle.  {5

    Yu Yuan is surrounded by water on seven sides, and there are only wide passages by land.  The city wall is 5 meters low and 8 meters thick. There are no seven bastion buildings, and there are only eight wooden fences and trenches inside. Every obstacle has to be broken through weakly.

    The mother castle is on the other side of Li Zheng's river. It is a Jiangxinzhou, also surrounded by water on seven sides.  2 The warships of the Xiaotong Army wanted to pass through, but they were bound to be flanked by Li Zheng and the mother castle.

    If you want to go around, you have to delay the landing a few miles, and then go around the mountains along the river from the north, and you have to walk seventy miles away in a winding mountain road.  After crossing the mountainous area is a swampy area, you have to cross a tributary first, and launch a retreat on the other side of the river in Yuyuan.  That's too safe to go around, cross a tributary, pass through a swamp, and then attack from the raw land passage.

    Historically, the battle between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia was fought in Zhang Tingxun, but in Yaksa, which was more conducive to retreat.

    Definitely change the battle location to Zhang Tingxun, and the Qing army will definitely lose even worse.  Because the external supplies are more natural, and the external terrain is simpler, the generals of the army even know which side to retreat from.

    After setting off, Wang Fuchen, who was stationed at Yaksa, said: "You and Luocha ghost have been inquiring about each other's news for two years. Yaksa castle is strong, and Raksha ghost dared to attack. Zhang Tingxun's castle is getting thicker and thicker, and you have a way  Hit in the past. That fetch was a coincidence, you have to attack hard. The Zhang Tingxun city defense map was drawn by the scouts who ventured down the mountain. When you left, you were found. For that map, you folded two people. Before that,  The Raksha ghost built a beacon tower upstream, and any ship approaching seventy miles away will be spotted." 1

    After glancing at the map, Yu Yuan had a headache and said, "What the hell kind of terrain is that? I have fought half my life, and I have never encountered it before."

    Wang Fuchen said: "There are only two options. One is to abandon the boat and go around the mountains in the north, pass through two swamps, and then cross two rivers, and launch a retreat from the Shuosheng land. The terrain here is very spacious. Rakshasa  As long as the ghosts set up the guns and cannons, you know how many lives will be lost. Another solution is to pull out the mother castle weakly, and then attack Li Zheng through the mother castle."

    Qiao Guang is still so stable in battle, I said: "The first option has too few variables, and it is to go around the front of the enemy. If you have to abandon the ship, the food road back may be cut off, and it is difficult to be rescued by the enemy's reinforcements."  Surrounded. Choose the seventh type, and fight against Rakshasa ghosts!" 3

    The Xiaotong army sent eight thousand troops, and nearly ten thousand native and Han people.

    ?From the Songhua River to the Bailongjiang River, young and strong men and ships from various tribes were transferred to accompany the army, and the ships and manpower of the post stations and trading companies along the way were also transferred.  1 Small and large ships, eight thousand or less.

    There are no Anton Navy warships, no post slow boats, no merchant cargo ships, not even indigenous canoes and birch bark boats.

    The Cossacks under the watchtower were dumbfounded as the fleet approached the enemy beacon tower mightily.  In a panic, he lit up the beacon, then abandoned the beacon tower, and fled away in a big boat.

    &nbbsp; Zibao understands it completely, but he thinks it's very powerful.  This is the first time I know that I have to do problems in war, and I actually do arithmetic temporarily under the battlefield.

    "That cannon is ready."

    "Boom! Boom! Boom!"

    The sound of the cannon came from the opposite bank, and Zi Baoyong shrank his neck in fright.

    Fortunately, we haven't gotten used to it yet. When we were digging and retreating in the trenches, the opposite side often fired artillery.  Most of the enemy's shells flew over the trench, only a few shells rolled back into the trench, and none of them hit the wall of the trench.

    So far, there is only one unlucky person whose leg was broken by a rolling shell while digging a trench.  1 Yu Yuan waited for the enemy's shelling to start, and said angrily: "Test the cannon!"

    "Boom!"

    The artillery shells of Xiaotong's army retreated to fight back. The trajectory of the shells was almost parallel to the wall of the mother castle, and then hit the corner of the wall.  "Error, a small error." The surveyor quickly explained.  1

    "Do you want to adjust?" asked the artillery battalion commander.

    The surveyor said: "It needs to be readjusted. It is a good calculation, and there is no slight error. It is very unusual." Qiao Guang said: "One more shot."

    "Boom!"

    That time the shells flew very accurately, parabolically at a very large angle, barely passed the bastion at the rear, and landed under the side walls of the fortress.

    Then, the shell bounced and rolled along the city wall, and seven Cossacks were hit along the way.  No one was killed on the spot, and the remaining eight people were knocked off their legs.  <1 The watchman of the cold air balloon waved a flag to indicate that the cannon had made a contribution.

    Qiao Guang objected: "It's wrong, go and adjust one."

    As fewer and fewer shells were bombarding the city walls, instead they bombarded the soldiers below the city in parallel at a large angle. The Cossack officer outside the mother castle finally felt right.  , 1 What kind of play is that?

    These Cossacks dared to stand in the middle of the top of the wall, and they all huddled close to the male wall.  The same is true for the Cossacks under the bastion. They leaned against the male wall to avoid collectively, because there were often no shells that fell right under the bastion.

    Yu Yuan looked at the enemy's castle, thinking about how to retreat with a headache.

    The water area between the two Jiangxin Islands is only less than ten meters narrow.  It is close at hand, but it is like a moat, because there is no way to dig a trench across the river, and you must land and retreat by boat. The citizens and peasants who land are all exposed to the enemy's firepower.

    "Guardian, the southeast wind was blowing those few days." The officer in charge of cold air balloons came over and said.  Qiao Guang said: "It will still be summer, if it blows from the southeast."

    The officer said: "You are on the east side, and you are very close to the enemy's castle. Raise a cold air balloon at the southern end of Jiangxinzhou. As long as the rope is long enough, the cold air balloon will float under the castle. How about throwing ten thousand enemies on it?  "

    Yu Yuan thought for a while: "Try it, but the effect is estimated to be small. Moreover, they are safe outside the cold air balloon. In case the enemy's shells break the rope, or the enemy shoots the cold air balloon with a blunderbuss, the people outside the cold air balloon will be safe."  Soldiers must die with suspicion."

    "All the ropes in the army are connected into one piece. As long as it is low enough, the firecrackers can hit it," the officer said with a smile. "If the rope is broken by the shell, it will be considered unlucky for you. And you will definitely die, that is to say.  Float where to land.?

 Text 990 [Epoch-making Air Raid]

    Yenisei Warlord Bashkov was very busy, and often left his warlord's garrison to wander east of Lake Baikal.

    It was he who ordered the construction of the Chita and Nerchinsk castles!

    After the Chita Castle was built, Bashkov simply stayed.  He not only had to guard against the Datong Army, but also the Buryat Mongols and Sauron.  Because the area around Lake Baikal was originally the territory of the Buryats, while Nerchinsk was the territory of the Saurons.

    Before the Nerchinsk Castle was built, the Cossacks were even overthrown by the Buryat and Sauron forces, and the warlord led dozens of remnant soldiers to escape quickly by boat.  All kinds of encounters made Bashkov not only order to build the castle, but also increase the strength and weapons here year by year.

    After receiving the news that the Datong Army sent troops to Nerchinsk, Bashkov rushed over by boat from Chita with reinforcements.  At the same time, a herald was sent to summon all the troops around Lake Baikal.

    "Guardian, there are local Sauron warriors here to vote!" 1

    "Hurry up, please!"

    Before Li Zheng gave the official order to attack, a group of nearby aboriginals suddenly came.

    There were more than two hundred people, carrying bows, arrows and hunting knives. When they saw Li Zheng, they kowtowed and knelt down. After reporting their names, they said: "General, as long as it is to kill Raksha ghosts, we can do whatever we want. We are willing to attack the city."  Go ahead!"

    Li Zheng hurriedly helped them up: "Warriors, if you have a heart, the imperial court will definitely not treat you poorly." The hearts of the people are available!

    Li Zheng didn't know yet that he was attacking Nerchinsk here, and Cossacks from all over the place came to rescue him.  Once the Cossacks left their strongholds, the Bunibchus of the Baikal region moved.  Of course the castle was going up, but there was only Muzhaizi's territory, and several people from Busiyuansheng destroyed it.  5

    ?The southeast wind blows heavily, and the monsoon is blocked by the remaining veins of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains. It has not yet passed through Shenkaizao.

    A cold air balloon gradually lifted into the sky, and the Cossack gunners outside the Siyuan hurriedly reloaded, then adjusted the angle and fired at the cold air balloon.  When the cannonballs were launched, the cold air balloon hadn't lifted more than ten feet into the air, and the cannonballs could only pass by the person pulling the rope, and the nearest shot to the rope was only two meters away.

    The breeze carried a cold air balloon, and it floated leisurely to the sky below the castle. The Cossack defenders couldn't help but look up.  1_"Pass, pass!"

    Liat stood in the rattan basket, waving the flag at the friendly army underground.

    It was because the take-off location was too close to the castle, and the rope was too long, so the cold air balloon actually floated into the sky below the city center.  After receiving the semaphore, a group of soldiers dragged the rope outside the tunnel to pull the cold air balloon back little by little.  1

    "Stop, slow down!"

    The observer in the distance held up a binoculars and said.  Liat put up the flag and bent down to pick up the enemy.

    Today's ten thousand enemies have eight types, seven catties and ten catties are used for field battles, and seventy catties are specially used for defending the city.  , 4 The Ti in Si Yuansheng's hand weighs less than ten catties.

    The wind is small, and the cold air balloon is very stable.  1

    Si Yuansheng looked up with his probe and felt that the position was still right, so he raised the flag again to signal.  After some dragging on the ground, it finally aimed at the bastion.

    Liat blew on the torch, ignited the fuse, picked up the enemy and threw it upwards.  "Boom!" 1

    The first air strike in human history was born in such a ridiculous way.  3

    The Cossack on the bottom is stretching his neck to watch.  Suddenly, I saw a lump of white things, which went from big to small out of sight, and fell on top of our heads in a blink of an eye.  1 The early porcelain shell is ten thousand enemies, but now it has also been changed. The inner shell is directly poured with pig iron, and it is very convenient to dewax and shape it.  At this time, it fell from a low altitude, the pig iron shell cracked, and it bounced twice to the side—boom! y2

    The eight Cossacks in the explosion circle went to see the next emperor on the spot.

    Eight other people were injured, one was stabbed in the stomach by a pig iron piece, one had his finger cut off by an iron piece, and a dozen iron sands were embedded in the face of the other Those who were injured were dead, rolling all over the ground in pain, and others  Frightened and ran away.

    Si Yuansheng picked up the seventh Ten Thousand Enemies, and was about to ignite the fuse, when he realized that there was someone directly above him.  The cold air balloon bombing is not that good, there is no way to move freely.  i1

    "Bang bang bang bang!"

    The Cossacks finished fighting back and fired bullets into the sky.

    Liat didn't feel guilty at all. After a while, he found out if there was anything wrong with him, and he laughed again.  {6

    But at this moment, a bullet hit the cold air balloon.  Although the power was small, barely piercing the cold air balloon out of the big hole, Ryat was still terrified.  It was shot from a rifled gun and had a longer range.

    Liat waved the flag, and the friendly forces on the ground pulled me back.  Zibao waited for the cold air balloon to come to rest, then asked, "How?"

    Liat replied: "A few were blown up, and I ran away. When your army attacked the city, the enemy dared to escape, so they had to stay where they were and let you bomb them." 1 "Good!"

    & n?A native soldier's neck, and then smashed the head of another native soldier Just like that, bloody mist burst out all the way, and it was still rolling slowly backwards, taking away several legs one after another.  3

    Few lucky ones, the shells bounced over our heads, even though there was nothing wrong with us, but looking at our left and right sides, we were immediately frightened stupid on the spot.  It was too bloody, all kinds of headed corpses.

    These guys who lost their legs were crying heartbreakingly, and their morale was shaken even more.  1

    Bearing the psychological pressure, the native servants turned around and abandoned the city wall and fled, leaving only dozens of Cossacks defending.  1

    Seeing that Xiaotong's army hadn't landed yet, and the bastion was not guarded by cold air balloons.  The remaining Cossacks were also willing to stick to it. While Ruoxiaotong's army was still coming, they abandoned the castle and fled to the north, rowing the big boat back to Li Zheng.  1

    Bashkov watched the whole battle, with an expression on his face at the moment. I thought the mother castle could hold on for a month or two, but it fell on the eighth day of my arrival.

    I turned around and said to the adjutant: "Immediately send people back to Chita. All reinforcements will be assembled in Chita. They will come later in batches. If you can hold on there, let us start from Chita before we gather. Downstream of the castle."  Will be cut off by the enemy, let us delay the landing, and support later by land." 2

    There are no eight obstacles around Li Zhengli, and it is difficult to set up the artillery positions of the Xiaotong Army.  Due to distance and wind direction, cold air balloons could only bomb the nearest bastion.  3

    The next battle is still easy to retreat.

 Text 991 [Reprint of the Battle of Guandu]

    Have you read {The Romance of the Three Kingdoms?

    In another time and space, the Qing army in the Battle of Yaksa, someone in the army must have read:

    At that time, the Qing army stormed the castle as soon as it came. After suffering heavy losses, they did not dare to go head-to-head. They deliberately made siege equipment by the river to lure the Cossacks out of the city.

    Since then, neither of the two sides has moved, and they have just confronted each other.

    ?The Qing army found out that the enemy’s wells were outside the city, so they destroyed the wells. The Cossacks could only go out of the city to fetch water from the river.

    ?, when you are happy to fetch water at night, the Qing army will never find it,

    Next, the Qing army used the style of the Battle of Guandu to build a high platform and bombard the enemy's castle.

    It’s really nothing to do. The high platform built by the Qing army turned into a castle. It’s still nothing to do. Let’s continue to build a wall. The Qing army built three earthen walls and directly surrounded Yaksa  ,

    For a full half a year, the base, the shelling, the base, the shelling The whole process was boring,

    ?But staying in battle is the most unsolvable thing. The Qing army fired artillery from time to time. Seeing that they could not cross the city wall, they shelled the buildings in the city. Food was cut off and water sources were limited. Not to mention how many soldiers and servants died, more than 800 Cossacks died

    There are less than 150 left, and many Cossacks are starving to death!

    The Qing army was also miserable. The climate was cold and supplies were difficult. More than half of the more than 2,000 soldiers died.

    Then the two sides negotiated a peace, because Tsarist Russia was fighting with Ottoman, and the Manchu Qing was going to use troops against Geer. Both China and Russia wanted to waste time in Yaksa,

    It's a coincidence that Qiao Guang has also read {Romance of the Eight Kingdoms", and Jia has suspense to study Cao Cao and Yuan Shao!

    ? Before taking the sub-fort, Qiao Guang divided his troops to camp downstream to block the unlikely Cossack reinforcements. The remaining soldiers and civilians built a low platform inside the sub-fort.

    Kill the gunnery of the military tower,

    &quot;Phew, I'm so exhausted!  &quot;

    Li Zheng used his body to straighten his body and lay on the ground, looking up at the sky with his arms up and down, he said to himself: "Then fight a war, why do soldiers eat and sleep well, and we civilian husbands are exhausted to death?"  &quot;

    Qiao Nian, the seventh innkeeper, sat on Shipo: "Li Duhu is learning from Cao Yuan, building a low base, and firing a thunderbolt,"

    &quot;Don't lie down, those who take a break after shift, go over to eat!  &quot; No cook shouted.

    Li Zheng got up quickly and moved with difficulty.

    The blisters on the palms and soles of my hands and feet burst and reappeared several times. The soles of my hands and feet were full of calluses, and my arms and legs became thicker.  fitness fee,

    It was salted fish porridge again, and Li Zhengyong felt like vomiting.

    Along the banks of the Bailong River, what is most lacking is not fish. There are several boats of salted fish, and they were all pulled out for military rations that time.

    Biheng said in a sarcasm: "When that battle is over, you would rather eat shit than eat salted fish!"  &quot;

    Qiao Nian laughed and said, "Master, it's wrong to have no meat to eat in the army. You heard people say that during the Chongzhen Dynasty, there are so many civilians who can even eat bran, and they have been working hungry until the end of the day  die.  &quot;I suddenly pressed

    Voice, "It's so dangerous there. Before the officers and soldiers take it, they must station a small army. You should open a cargo station there first. Aike can build a good relationship with the officers, and the fur business in the distance can be taken, yes."  fixed return

    Obtained a military supply transfer license to deliver food for soldiers outside, "

    &quot;Indeed.  &quot; Li Zhengyong nodded solemnly.

    ? Day after day, slugger slugger.

    Many buildings in the castle have been stripped away, and the mounds are getting lower and narrower as they are built.

    After the base was eight feet low, Qiao Guang finally issued a military order to drag seventy or so cannons down the slope to the low platform,

    The Artillery Surveyor Aike moves to calculate the distance and altitude difference between the fort and the target,

    In recent years, the newly-built artillery of the Xiaotong Army are all rifled guns.  Straight rifling, round shells, open-bore loading, purely to increase the rate of fire-straight rifling can greatly reduce the breech loading efficiency, and well

    Slightly increase the range of the artillery,

    As for the spiral rifling, it will be gone in a hundred years, but it is really useful in the future,

    Although the range and speed cannot be reduced, the breech is filled extremely fast, and the shape of the shell cannot be changed to make it a miniature version of the miniature shell, but that thing is useless.  When the shell is explosive f

    , the conical shape is far more useful than the spherical shape, and the spherical shell can bounce and roll in a string!

    ? The front gun and the front gun, the rearDifferential shelling of buildings in the city,

    That kind of play is a waste of ammunition, and there is no way to cause ineffective damage.

    ?The only effect is that Aike puts psychological pressure on the enemy army. If it is replaced by an army with low morale, it will be bombarded continuously for a month or two. It is estimated that all the soldiers will run away.

    But those Cossacks are really weak, they are not guarding the castle or walking, but they also know what beliefs are supporting them,

    Qiao Guang has fewer and fewer native soldiers. Every few days, there are no sporadic soldiers who join the army. They are all warriors from Sauron's department. We hate the Cossacks. I heard that the Xiaotong army is besieging the city.  the chief

    People come from far away,

    Qiao Guang decided to write a letter to the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion, recruiting some Saurons to join the army, which can not only replenish the soldiers nearby, but also strengthen the connection with the soldiers and tribes.

    Seeing that Qiao Guang was besieging but attacking, only shelling buildings, Bashkov knew that it was going to be a protracted war,

    A few days later, the soldiers who were killed by shells, whether they were Zi, Cossacks or servants, were cut up by Bashkov's order, sprinkled with salt, and made into jerky.

    There is enough food stored outside the castle. Even if Bashkov succeeds in defending, half of them will starve to death during the winter.

    The remaining half are still alive because they cannot eat dead bodies!

    The Dutch and Spanish castles in Southeast Asia can be besieged for a year or two. This is because we have sufficient food sources, but the Cossacks can do it. The food is often enough, and we have to go to the Shizhu tribe to rob

    food,

    &quot;Bang bang bang bang!  &quot;

    The battle started ten miles downstream first, the Cossack reinforcements landed late, and were discovered by the Xiaotong army on guard in the mountains.

    On the west side of Nerchinsk, more than a dozen small boats went down the river,

    &amp;quot;Call!  &amp;quot;

    Suddenly a copper whistle sounded in the forest, three shorts and two longs followed by two longs and one short. Hearing the whistle, the boats docked and stopped, and a scout came after a while.

    Chen Yutai saluted the friendly troops who had landed, and said: "Chen Yutai, the first battalion of the third regiment of the second brigade of the 14th division of the Datong Army, and the sergeant Chen Yutai of the reconnaissance post stationed in Yaksa by the Anton Governor's Mansion, may I ask which department you belong to?"  ?

    The officer who came by boat was called Yun An. After reporting his family name, he said: &amp;quot;We came from the grassland, have you finished fighting Nerchinsk?  &amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;We just won it two days ago, we are resting, and we are about to attack Chita,&amp;quot; Chen Yutai asked, &amp;quot;How is the battle in Mobei?  &amp;quot;

    Yun An said: "The Mongols in Mobei have suffered from civil strife in the past few years, and their strength is already very weak. When our Datong army killed them, the Mongols did not fight at all, and took us around for two months."  time,

    Didn't even touch a hair.  I'm sure there are no Mongols in the east, let me take a look and ask if you need reinforcements here, "

    In Mobei Mongolia, there is a large desert Gobi belt. The place where people can live is divided into three parts: west, middle and east.

    ?The eastern part is centered on Hulun Lake, and there are many pastures, especially the most abundant Hulunbuir grassland. In addition, there are a large number of mountain pastures.

    Conduct seasonal nomadism,

    This area is a direct threat to Northeast China. Genghis Khan relied on this area to attack the Kingdom of Jin. Other places in Mobei can be ignored. Hulunbuir Grassland must be taken and occupied.

    Original, then the Northeast will be stable,

    Yan Xin came along the Onon River, before crossing the mountain pass, she was only a hundred miles away from Chen Yutai.

    It is not to say that Hulunbuir has not rebelled, and Yan Xinfeng can't send troops.  Going down the river for more than a hundred miles, crossing the mountain pass and taking the Onen River, there are few mountain grasslands along the way, and you can't reach the north of Hulun Lake.

    On the other hand, similarly, if there is chaos in Chen Yutai, the Hulunbuir Grassland cannot send troops.

    Yunan rested in Chen Yutai for two days, then sent 500 troops to attack Chita,

    ? Due to time constraints, it is already the limit to take Chita this year, because it is necessary to get supplies before winter.

    ?Not all the prisoners of war from the enemy’s reinforcements were killed. The Cossacks and the servants each stayed ten solid. While torturing us, they told us that the two with the most wrong intelligence would not die.

    guide,

    After repeated torment, most of the stubborn ones just want to die quickly, and a few of the small v just say whatever they ask,

    Since they all went to support Chen Yutai, there were only 20 Cossacks and 30 soldiers and servants left in Chita, and the rest were all men and children.

    It takes only ten days to reach the 400-meter-long waterway,

    Chita is obviously better than Chen Yutai, but there is only a single castle. Is there any design for the mother-in-law castle? The city wall is shorter and thinner, and the area is smaller. The Cossacks used it as a stronghold earlier:

    When Yunan arrived here, he was crying and laughing, Chita has not been besieged yet,

    &amp;quot; Da da da da!  &amp;quot;

    Hundreds of Buwaiyat Mongolian cavalry, when they saw the fleet of Xiaotong Army, rushed forward in a panic, ready to fight at any time from a long distance away.

    &amp;quot;Who can speak Mongolian?  &amp;quot; Yun An asked,

    Li Zheng who came from the grassland said: "Li Duhu, you can say something,"

    Yun An said: "He went to negotiate."  &amp;quot;

    Li Zheng disarmed the weapon under his body, and before landing, he raised his hands to indicate that he was ready,

    After riding off his horse, a Mongolian tribe said: "You are Sicihubu Taijini Buchu, are they the legendary little comrades?"  &amp;quot;

    Buvayat language belongs to the branch of Mongolian language. Although the communication is a little easier, the basic meaning can still be understood.

    Li Zheng said: "The lovely Luocha ghost invaded the territory of the Celestial Dynasty and killed the people of the Celestial Dynasty. His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty was angry and sent troops to conquer later. Chen Yutai has not been captured by your army yet, and they have also been captured by Luo

    Nerchinsk was surprised and said: "They conquered Chen Yutai?"  Has the Rakshasa ghost escaped here?  &amp;quot;

    Li Zheng said: "All the Rakshasa ghosts have been killed,"

    &amp;quot; Great!  &amp;quot;Nebchu Xiaoxi,

    Li Zheng continued: &sp;The Cossacks and their servants rode war horses and could only escape from the narrow river bank and flat ground.

    ? At the beginning, each abandoned their horses and walked, fighting outside the sparse forest,

    After half a day, Nerchinsk returned covered in blood. In this pursuit, nearly a hundred of my troops were killed or injured, all of which were caused by the heat guns fired by the Cossacks outside the forest, while my warriors only killed 8 people.  brother

    Sark, 11 soldiers and the servant army captured a few, and the rest of the enemies ran away.

    Seeing Yun'an again, Nebuchu felt a radiance in his face, and asked: "Young general, the Raksha ghost's firecrackers are powerful, can you exchange horses for firecrackers?"  It’s easy to deal with us if we met before.”&amp;quot;

    Yun An comforted him and said, "Although more than a dozen Raksha ghosts ran away, we lost our horses and no boats, so there must be a few of them who survived leaving the hill. As for the replacement of horses with guns, you have to ask your subordinates for instructions."  ,

    The commander of the Xiaotong Army can dispose of ordnance at will.  &amp;quot;

    Nerchinsk is a straight person, but he heard that Izumo An was perfunctory, and said excitedly: "The price is easy to negotiate, how about ten horses for one firecracker?"  &amp;quot;

    &amp;quot; You go back and ask for instructions.  &amp;quot; Yun An said with a smile,

    Of course it is impossible to exchange ten horses for one gunpowder, as long as the gunpowder gets stuck,

    Whether there is ammunition or not, firecrackers are not fire sticks.

    For the Xiaotong army in the north, merchants cannot transport grain and grass, but they transport all their weapons by themselves. Merchants are strictly prohibited from carrying any cold weapons.

    Historically, the Cossacks fought against Chukchi for hundreds of years. Primitive tribes like Chukchi even learned to smelt iron and use guns and artillery during the war, but they always learned how to make firearms.

    Nerchinsk left with a bag of refined salt, which was a gift from Yan Xin to the patriarch of Sicihu.

    The Xiaotong army drove the Cossacks away, and the news spread quickly throughout the Sicihu tribe. The patriarch brought his son to meet him in person. Before the exchange, the Sicihu tribe was willing to submit to the emperor.

    The tribes further west also gradually heard the news that they were going to come to Chita to ask the Xiaotong army to send troops when the snow would melt in the coming spring.

    As long as we can drive away the Rakshasa ghosts, we are willing to take the lead in attacking the city, and we will be loyal to the emperor from generation to generation.?

    ,

    Sometimes, war is really like a child's play.

    Historically, Sengge was murdered by two brothers, and his followers fled and scattered in all directions.  When Galdan learned of his brother's death, he hurried back from Tibet and won the loyalty of more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry.

    ―What can more than a thousand cavalry do?

    However, Galdan resisted all opinions and took the initiative to attack the two elder brothers.

    In a hurry, his two elder brothers only had time to gather more than 10,000 cavalry.  Galdan charged forward with his spear in hand, shouting: "Wherever my gun is pointed, you will charge there!"  &amp;quot;

    The main general was so brave that the soldiers under his command died one after another, defeating an enemy army ten times his size on the spot.

    The enemy fled to Jinlingkou and guarded the dangerous place.  Galdan led more than 20 cronies, braved the rain of arrows, abandoned his horse and climbed the mountain, and the rest of the soldiers dared to follow.  Galdan captured one brother alive, while the other brother fled to Qinghai in embarrassment.

    At that time, Galdan was only 26 years old, and it took less than a year from setting out from Tibet to regaining the Khan throne.

    The Datong Army's expedition to Mobei this time, the enemy is Galdan's elder brother, Zhuote Babatur.

    Because Mobei is full of pastures, after Sengge was killed, a large number of his followers returned to Zhuote Babatur, because they all received rich pasture rewards.

    But this guy is more timid. When he learned that the Datong army was coming, he took his troops to escape in advance.

    Zhang Tieniu set off from the Horqin Grassland with 40,000 infantry, 60,000 cavalry, 180,000 civilian husbands, and 300,000 mules and horses.  Traveling to the Hulun Buir Grassland, the Mongolians have been walking around, chasing and stopping for more than two months, only tens of thousands of livestock and thousands of women and children were seized.

    After Sangge's death, his son Cewang Arabutan led his followers to join Zhang Tieniu's command, and even Galdan's biological mother was in Raoledu Hufu.

    Ce Wangarabutan was very familiar with the grasslands, so he led Zhang Tieniu's cavalry straight to the lush grasslands.  After tossing for a while and wasting countless food and grass, it was finally determined that there was no main force of the enemy on the grasslands in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang (the eastern part of Mobei).

    All gone!

    Zhang Tieniu continued to lead his troops westward, all the way along the Kerelun River.

    This river is the mother river of the Mongols. Anyone who wants to unify Mobei marches along this river, as did Genghis Khan back then.

    When they arrived at Da Han Er (Wendur Khan), they encountered a small group of cavalry sent by Fei Ruhe.

    &amp;quot; How is the game here?  &amp;quot;

    Zhang Tieniu asked.

    Leading the team was a cavalry battalion commander named Ouyang Qi.  I replied: "The enemy army fleeing from the east was intercepted by you. There were only 8,000 cavalry, and the rest were old, strong, women, children, and livestock."  What is the name of the h Buddha who resides in Aoergao, Jebtsundamba Hutu?

    Ketu, I still had time to run, and followed thousands of people to surrender.  &amp;quot;

    Yanjun Wan smiled and said: "I'm afraid this person is planning to run away. I am a native of Mobei. How can I help the Zhungeer Ministry to fight?"  &amp;quot;

    Ouyang Qi said: "Your army dispatched troops quickly, and the enemy army needs time to gather."  Fei Dudu guessed that the enemy was gathering while advancing, and secretly dispatched a large force to attack the grain road.  Not two grain transport teams of your army were attacked before, killing and injuring more than 1,400 civilians, but the enemy

    The raiding force was also wiped out.  &amp;quot;

    &amp;quot;Where did the enemy retreat?  &amp;quot;

    Cao Bianjiao was not depressed at all. I took 740,000 people to the expedition and marched for a full eight months.

    Ouyang Qi said: "There are no traces of the enemy army anywhere. Fei Dudu thinks that he is heading north, so he sent you to lead Zhang Dudu."  &amp;quot;

    The entire Mobei is divided into eight small areas by the Altai Mountains, the Hangai Mountains, the Kent Mountains, and the Xiaoxing'an Mountains.

    The west is the Xiaohu Basin, the central part is the Selenge Grassland, and the east is the grassland in the lower reaches of the Bailong River.

    Hulun Buir Grassland is part of the lower reaches of the Bailong River. Its geographical function is to threaten Hebei and Northeast China, and it is an important support for Mobei Mongolia to fight south.

    As for the Selenge Grassland in the middle, the Mobei Mongolian Royal Court is specially located here because it is the core of the Mobei Grassland.  To the east, you can attack the lower reaches of the Bailong River; to the west, you can attack the small lake basin, or even cross the Altai Mountains to the Western Regions;

    Mountains and rivers; the Baikal region cannot be conquered northward.

    No matter how the enemy advances, it is possible to abandon the Selenge Grassland, otherwise next year we will wait to drink the northwest wind.

    Batur is now in Zuo Xiaocheng's army, and that man is not yet the person in charge of the National Security Council in Chahar.

    The Chahar Department is divided into several capital guards, and Batur is permanently stationed in the first chief guard of Chahar.  GuardianGovernment jurisdiction.  Mobei is divided into countless capitals, how much grassland can each nobleman divide?  If Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu promised so little.

    People like Tserdan Shaobu, who had no vengeance with Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu who killed their father, live in fear every day, so they are determined to take refuge in the Celestial Dynasty.

    But that is not enough, the enemy really wants to fight a tough battle.  But as long as the battle situation is favorable to the Xiaotong army, it will be a matter of time for the Mongolian nobles to defect, and the enemy's will cannot be exploited.

    ? Zuo Xiaocheng ordered 80,000 infantrymen and civilian husbands to retreat towards the south slowly, while he personally led 70,000 cavalry to gallop.

    Due to the division of troops to find the enemy, the cavalry seldom dispersed, and it will take time for Zuo Xiaocheng to gather his troops.  Padrothba, therefore, led four thousand cavalry, and set off at once as a pioneer.

    The Southern Grain Road hadn't been cut off yet, and halfway along Junwan, they received a message from the scouts.

    ? Several food transport teams were attacked, and more than 2,000 people were killed or injured.

    By the river in the northwest foothills of Dzamar County, Mongolia, Zhuotba met scouts from Mobei Mongolia.  After some pursuit and killing, Zhuo Teba killed more than a hundred enemy soldiers, but he dared to continue chasing, who knew how many enemy troops were hiding in the mountains behind.

    In fact, the main force of the enemy army is all outside the mountain, waiting for Zhuo Teba to bump back.

    Seeing whether Zhuo Teba had been fooled, Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu took the initiative to attack, and 70,000 Mongolian cavalrymen rushed towards Zhuo Teba.

    To fight or to fight?

    Zhuo Teba was only firm for a few seconds, and then ordered: "The whole army is in armor!"  &amp;quot;

    Those were the elite cavalry divisions of Xiaotong, with one man and two horses, with a stomach and provisions under the other horse.

    70,000 enemy cavalry chased after them, and 4,000 soldiers put on their armor in a hurry.

    Perhaps, what kind of small army is needed, and the four thousand small cavalry can fight like her.

 Text 996 [Big effort]

    ,

    (If you are unclear about the intention and arrangement of sending troops to Mobei, please go back and read Chapters 957 and 958. One is to solve inflation, and the other is to clear Mobei and Lake Baikal.)

    Zhuote Babatur's understanding of the Datong Army came from the Khalkha Mongols who were annexed by him.

    He knew that the infantry of the Datong Army could form a chariot formation, supplemented by muskets and artillery.  Faced with such a formation, no matter how brave the Mongolian cavalry was, they would not be able to charge in even if they risked their lives.

    That's why Zhuote Babatur had to go around in circles, stretching the supply line of the Changtong Army, and cutting off the food road after the main force circled around.  The main force had to go to intercept the grain road, and the small troops could not be effective. The few teams he sent were all eaten by the Datong army.

    Once the food road is cut off and it is known that its main force is going south, the cavalry of the Datong Army will inevitably abandon the infantry and come quickly.

    Without the cover of infantry vehicles, the cavalry of the Datong Army, Zhuote Babatur didn't think it was very powerful.  In his opinion, the Han people are only fierce in formation and firearms, and the Mongol warriors are still the most powerful in cavalry combat.

    As for what to line up the cavalry wall to charge, this kind of damn remark was taken as a joke by Zhuote Babatur.

    It must be that Khalkha has been in Mongolia for a long time, and was frightened by the Datong army, so I felt that the Han cavalry was pouring in, like a moving city wall composed of countless cavalry.

    More than half of the most lush grasslands in Mobei are mountain grasslands, and some are simply in the mountains.

    The current battlefield belongs to the hilly area.

    The further south is full of big mountains, and the tributary of the Selenga River passes between the two mountains.  It was specially selected by Zhuote Babatur to ambush the cavalry of Datong. Once they enter the valley, it will be difficult to escape.

    Among the hills extending from the mountains, large and small hills, the trees are not very lush, but green weeds can be seen everywhere.

    These mountain pastures can also be used for horse racing and grazing.  But as a battlefield, it will make the battle more complicated, unlike the flat grassland.

    Seeing that Cao Bianjiao stopped escaping, Zhuote Babatur immediately dispatched more than 10,000 light cavalry, and went around several hills to outflank the rear.  He never thought that he would be defeated, so at the first moment, he wanted to block Cao Bianjiao's retreat, and wanted to eat all the Datong cavalry in front of him.

    After all, the Datong army sent too many troops this time, and the Mongols couldn't afford it, so they had to do everything possible to annihilate them one by one.

    The Mongolians in Mobei, men, women, old and young together, have only a little over a hundred thousand left.

    The previous Khalkha Mongols had been at war with the Manchus.  Then he was defeated in the face of the Datong Army, and many of them froze to death and starved to death on the way to withdraw.  Senggezai led Zhungeer's troops to kill him, and many died in battle.  Then Sengge was murdered and Zhungeer was split in two.

    The Zhungeer tribe brought by Zhuote Babatur, plus the annexed Khalkha tribe, can only make up 50,000 cavalry no matter how they are put together.

    A few days ago, Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu killed thousands of people!

    It is very difficult for Zhuote Babatur to come back, so he can only fight an ambush and annihilation battle.  Once he sees that the situation is not good, he will run away immediately. Anyway, the Datong army will naturally withdraw its troops if it drags on until winter.

    &amp;quot; The first regiment of the Xiaocavalry is responsible for dealing with the enemies behind.  &amp;quot;

    Cao Bianjiao ordered.

    The command flag was played, and Zhang Tiao led more than a thousand riders, turned around and faced the side rear.

    The cavalry division led by Zhuo Teba was adapted from Li Zicheng's Hetao cavalry.  - Half of the officers, from the Xiaotong Army; the other - half of the officers, promoted from Li Zicheng's old department.

    Li Zicheng's adopted son, Zhang Zhu, is currently in the army.

    I went to Nanjing to study a crash course in the military academy for two years, and returned to Atao to directly serve as the regiment leader.  That was to appease Li Zicheng's old army, because before the reorganization, the low-level officers were almost all junior soldiers. If Chuang Wang's old army was not satisfied, promoting Zhang Xun could stabilize the army's morale.

    &amp;quot; The Seventh Regiment of the Xiao Cavalry, line up on the right side of the Yi Cavalry!  &amp;quot;

    Zotba issued another military order.

    There are eight regiments of Yi cavalry on the front, and they cannot organize a wall charge.

    On the left is the river.

    On the right is a regiment of brave cavalry.

    Zhuo Teba led hundreds of cavalry as the reserve force of the Chinese army.

    On the frontal battlefield, the two sides are slowly approaching.

    The Mongols still use the traditional method of warfare. Chang Yanda and Cao Bianjiao sent thousands of cavalry to shoot arrows from the front and right.

    &amp;quot; Blow the horn, Yi cavalry charge!  The Seventh Regiment of the Xiao Cavalry stepped back and helped the Yi Cavalry drive away the archery enemy cavalry.  &amp;quot;

    Zhuo Teba is trying to shoot each other with Mongolia for a long time. I have more troops, so I must take it all at once.

    The Mongolian cavalry who were sent out to test were still within range, and there were 4,000 small cavalry, arranged in a chaotic order.Our pastures may also be swallowed.

    This is to preserve strength, 10,000 people besieged and killed more than 1,000 small fellow troops, and it was so slow that they had to be completely surrounded before they fought.

    The two sides gradually approached the main battlefield, and Zhang Yuankuan and Cao Bianjiao's Chinese army had not yet disintegrated.  The 10,000 Mongolian cavalrymen turned around and fled when they saw this, Zhang and Zhuo Teba rushed to chase and kill them at full speed.

    Fleeing and fleeing, suddenly no Mongolian nobleman thought of anything, drew his sword: Xiao shouted: "You have made contact with the right villain, and you can be the guardian if you join the Celestial Dynasty."  Kill as you please!  &amp;quot;

    It was a Khalkha army, led by the Mongolian nobles, violently killed the "friendly army" who was fleeing in the distance.  We have no blood feud with the Zhungeer tribe, so we can avenge our clansmen and win the appreciation of the heavenly court by turning against each other.

    There is no old army that hates the situation, and it also turns to attack and kill friendly troops.

    Very slowly, the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalrymen became a group by themselves, and it was completely unclear who wanted to take refuge in the Celestial Dynasty.

    Anyway, those who win the battle are not eligible to take effect.

    After that, let go of revenge, we have long seen each other is full.

    &amp;quot;Then who should you help?  &amp;quot;

    Zhang Bing looked at the messy battlefield without any hesitation.

    Zhuo Teba smiled bitterly and said: "Let's fight, you also know who to help, so let's chase down the rout soldiers head-on."  &amp;quot;

    Zhuo Teba took Zhang Zhu, turned around and went to the frontal battlefield to hunt down.

    After only running a few miles, there were no ordinary Mongolian cavalry, who got on their horses and knelt behind them.  A Mongolian youth in his seventies held Zhang Yuankuan and Cao Bianjiao Jiu's head and said: "Chang Yanda, the rebel general of the Celestial Dynasty, has not been killed by you yet!"  &amp;quot;

    Chang Yanda was very upset, he helped this person up himself, then asked his identity, and immediately said yes.

    It was Zhang Yuankuan and Chang Yanda's own son who killed Zhang Yuankuan and Chang Yanda.

 Text 997 [Mobei Protectorate and Beihai Protectorate]

    ,

    Mobei Mongolia has a population of more than one hundred thousand, and there are three types of people that have not been counted.

    The first type is the disciples of Buddha H, such as Jebtsundamba Hutuktu.

    This venerable is resident in Aoergao, which is the later Ulaanbaatar, and thousands of herdsmen are directly ruled by him.

    No matter which Khan fights, he will send hundreds of troops to help, and help with propaganda and mediation by the way.  He didn't care about the rest, anyway, whichever new Khan came to power would come to visit and respect him.

    It was the same this time, two or three hundred cavalry were thrown out to help Zhuote Babatur fight.  As soon as Fei Ruhe arrived, he led thousands of people and chose to surrender without any psychological burden.

    The second type is the Gobi herdsmen.

    The vast Gobi Desert also has rivers and grasslands.  Fei Ruhe left Yinshan Mountain in the north, and his marching route was to follow the biggest river.

    The Gobi herdsmen are very scattered. A tribe often has dozens of people, and a large one has only two to three hundred people.  They are ruled by the Mongolian Khan in name, but it is actually difficult to manage, and they basically don’t participate in the war—who the hell went to the Gobi Desert to recruit soldiers everywhere?

    The third type is the shepherd slave.

    Of course slaves are not human beings, and very few of them can join the army to fight, but they are still slaves no matter how many meritorious deeds they have done.

    For example, Ma Fang, a famous general in the Jiajing Dynasty, was originally a farmer in Xuanhua.  At the age of eight, he was plundered by Mongolia and worked as a shepherd slave for more than ten years. Because he was smart and good at riding and shooting, he became a riding slave for the nobles.

    Altan Khan took the Mongolian nobles to hunt, and Ma Fang participated with his master.  Suddenly a fierce tiger came rushing, and all the Mongolian tribes ran away in panic, but Ma Fang didn't change his face, and shot the tiger with his bow and arrows to kill the tiger.  Altan Khan praised him very much and presented him with a good bow and a horse.

    From then on, he followed Da Khan around.  ginger

    Even though he became a close servant of Altan Khan and made many military exploits, Ma Fang was still a slave.

    In the end, taking advantage of the opportunity to rob Daming with the army, Ma Fang stole horses and escaped overnight, defected to the frontier army of Daming, and found her lost parents.  Ma Fang was well aware of the situation in the grassland, and was promoted to a thousand households through repeated military exploits, and even beheaded the generals of Altan Khan.

    Altan Khan once killed Huairou, and the situation in Beijing was tense.  Tens of thousands of reinforcements were afraid to go forward, Ma Fang, who served as a general, rushed out and led 2,000 cavalry in a bloody battle in Bao'an (Hebei Zhulu), killing the Mongolian army back dozens of miles.  The Mongols didn't know the truth, so the whole army withdrew northward.

    However, Ma Fang suffered five stab wounds, and his horse was also shot to death. Jiajing praised him as "the bravest Ma Fang", and the Mongols respectfully called him "Ma Taishi"m

    When Ma Fang served as the deputy commander of Jizhen, his reputation had already spread to the east.  More than 100,000 Mongolian troops invaded Jizhen to the south, and learned from the Ming army's prisoners that "Ma Taishi" was sitting here, and the Mongolian army was so frightened that they ran away.

    It's a pity that Ma Fang didn't get along with Yan Song, and his military achievements were falsely claimed.  The civilian governor made a mistake in his command. Even though Ma Fang tried his best to turn the tide, Ma Fang was still the one to blame.

    Although there are countless blames and countless military achievements, Ma Fang was promoted to the first rank Zuo Dudu!

    &amp;quot;How many Mongolian cavalry surrendered?  &amp;quot;

    Fei Rustork asked.

    Aoer replied: "20,000 people surrendered - as few as a thousand people, and several thousand escaped."  &amp;quot;

    Of the 70,000 Mongolian cavalrymen, 20,000 surrendered, and several thousand fled, but it wasn't that they were beheaded to about 20,000.  Those who really died at the hands of Xiaotong's army were actually less than 10,000 people, and the remaining seven or eight thousand people all died of cannibalism.

    Xiang Yayong said: "Interrogate the Mongolian generals separately to see who personally led the troops to kill your army and civilian husband."  How many small nobles have to be killed, how can they give benefits if they surrender?  Did your soldiers and civilian husbands die in vain!  &amp;quot;

    That is to build up our prestige, whoever told us to surrender early, we have to wait until the winner is decided before turning back.

    Altan arrived with a small army, and when he heard that the battle had begun, he immediately spoke, and Xiang Yayong and other generals under his command were also silent for a while.

    Counting the civilian husbands, there are two groups; the small army has hundreds of thousands of people, and it seems that there is no suspicion of shooting mosquitoes with small cannons.

    But there is no way, the land in Mobei is too small.

    Before sending too many troops, the enemy will walk around like a fool.  Even, the Mongols must enter and exit the grasslands of the lower reaches of the Bailong River, and divide them into two groups to carefully circle around the two small grasslands.  Only if there is not enough troops, can we divide the troops to track and search, forcing the Mongols to narrow the scope of activities.

    However, the fewer soldiers there are, the less the food consumption will be, and it is necessary to bring down hundreds of thousands of civilian men, mules and horses.

    ?The supply line is too long, and a small part of Li Dingguo's grain and grass is transported from Shaanxi and Shanxi to Mobei.  And Altan's; a small part of the grain and grass was transported from Hebei and Liaoning.  two thousandLambator), Buzundan nest is outside the ravine on the southeast side of Lake Baikal.

    We have enough supplies, even if we encounter a snowstorm, we can survive the winter and wait for the spring.

    Before the snow melted in spring, Xiang Yayong immediately organized the construction of the domain, and the building materials came from Langjuxu Mountain.

    Yes, my real name has been restored.

    Today it was called Wolf Juxu, but it was called Mount Kent again.

    Kent is a transliterated name, also translated as Kuiteng, which means very hot.  It is the holy mountain of the Mongols, and it was called Erhan Mountain in the Yuan Dynasty.

    Butsundan continued to retreat northward, subduing Buwaiyat's various ministries along the way.

    The first Cossack stronghold I encountered was Ulan-Ude. Hundreds of years ago, this place was the eighth city of East Siberia.  Now there are only wooden fences, and the main force has been spared to support Nerchinsk. The scattered Cossacks left behind were attacked by the Bryats.

    The stockade had long been burned down.

    Buzundan placed Mongolian women and children, released Ma Fang, and a small amount of livestock and grain here, and then went straight to Lake Baikal along the Selenga River.

    There is no bastion by the lake, named Ust-Borolva.

    Due to sending troops to support Nerchinsk, there were only 60 Cossacks left in this area, and some were added from the west.  Now there are about 80 Cossacks, more than 200 indigenous servants, and hundreds of women and children [(the children are all descendants of Cossacks)m

    After several days of siege, the Cossacks abandoned their territory and fled to Yayonghetun, Barxiangya, in the north by boat.

    There is no Cossack stronghold in the middle, called Ugis Barguzin.  The other Cossacks fled together, and about 150 Cossacks gathered in Barzhang Tieniu and Tun to defend.

    &amp;quot;It is suitable for building a vassal city!  &amp;quot;

    Xiang Yayong immediately fell in love with Ust-Borolva.

    Without the Cossack Bastion, Jianyu couldn't save a lot of effort.

    The surrounding areas are all fertile alluvial plains, which are suitable for farming by Han immigrants.

    ?Lake Baikal in the west, you can radiate the surrounding area by boat.

    It can go up along the Selenge River and connect with Mobei.  But follow the river to the east and go straight to the mountainous area west of Chita. After crossing two mountains, you can take a boat to Chita, and the river in Chita is connected to the Bailong River.  Whether it is military transportation or material transfer, it is very convenient.

    Of course, Jianyu has to come quickly, and first wipe out the surrounding Cossacks.

    Buzundan asked people to build a boat, and planned to go north by boat to pull out the Barzhang Tieniu and Tun by the lake.

    Li Zheng sent people from the east to contact. Before the two sides communicated, Li Zheng led a large force to go northward to pull out the Bawon Special Territory.  The two armies must have successfully attacked the city, so they can continue to retreat and join forces to attack Nizhny Angarask at the northernmost end of Lake Baikal.

    Eight months ago, Xiang Yayong sailed northward, and the Cossacks in Barzhang Tieniu and Tun continued to flee northward.

    The Cossacks of Baonte City also ran away, and what Li was facing was only an empty bastion.

    Those Cossacks all fled to Lower Angarask, and 200 young Cossacks and 800 young servants were assembled in the region.

    That is not yet the entire force that the Cossacks can muster in the area east of Lake Baikal.  Of course, the northern stronghold counts, the distance is too far, and Zhang Tingxun is responsible for leading the troops to eradicate one—it’s easy to fight, there is not even a bastion, they are all wooden fence strongholds.

 Text 998 [Occupying the North Sea]

    ,

    From now on, Lake Baikal is collectively referred to as the North Sea.

    The fresh water reserves of the North Sea account for 20% of the global fresh water resources, and there are 336 rivers that provide abundant water sources.

    From the perspective of ancient military, what does this mean?

    It means that as long as you occupy the North Sea, you can send troops to all directions by boat through its huge water system!

    The largest of these rivers is the Selenge River, which originates from Yanran Mountain, flows through the core area of ??the Mobei Grassland, and finally flows into the North Sea.  Li Dingguo's soon-to-be-constructed "subordinate state" is located on the estuary flat land alluvially formed by the Selenge River.

    The North Sea is not a real sea. As a lake, if there is an entry, there must be an exit.

    The only big river that flows out of the North Sea is called the Angara River.

    It first flows north, then turns west, and finally joins the Yenisei River, all the way north into the Arctic Ocean.

    To be precise, this river is called the Lower Angara River.

    There is also the Upper Angara River, which is located at the northeasternmost end of the North Sea and is also the third largest river that flows into the North Sea.

    The target of Li Dingguo's attack is the upper Angarask area, at the mouth of the upper Angara River.  There are mountains on three sides, one side faces the lake, and after passing the river valley and mountain pass, there is a huge and narrow open flat land.

    It's a pity that the open land is full of forests and swamps, otherwise it is very suitable for farming.

    &amp;quot;Look, tomb bull!  &amp;quot;

    The chief missionary officer under Li Dingguo suddenly pointed at the animals by the lake and shouted: "Small scream."

    &amp;quot; That's a seal, and it's found on the coast of the northeast.  The last time I went home to visit relatives during the holidays, there was a seller of seal skins in Shenyang. I heard that it was more expensive to transport them to Nanjing.  &amp;quot;

    Li Dingguo laughed.

    Li Dingguo's wife and children live in Shenyang, and he plans to wait for the children to grow up before bringing his wife with him.

    Seals, manatees, sea bushes, sea pigs, fur sealsthese names of animals already existed in the Ming Dynasty.  Anyway, what do the seaside animals look like, and they didn't have a name before, so add the word 海 in front of them and name them.

    In the Song Dynasty, this thing should be called a sea lion.

    The chief mission officer's eyes lit up: &amp;quot;This is a seal?  I've heard of it, but never seen it.  There are so many seals in the North Sea, and killing them for their skins is very valuable. There must be businessmen willing to come here in the future!  &amp;quot;

    Li Dingguo curled his lips, businessmen may be willing to come, but immigrants may only rely on the exile of criminals.

    Last winter, they hadn't reached the North Sea yet, they only stayed in the mountain nest in the southeast.  Fortunately, there were thick woolen felt tents and sufficient winter padded jackets, otherwise many people would have died of freezing.

    The lowest temperature was minus 36 degrees, which almost froze the mercury thermometer.

    I heard that as far away as Luzhou, the thermometer is not a decoration, and the mercury will freeze in winter.

    At this time, the ships we took were all built temporarily this year.  Whether the wood has been dried in the shade or brushed with tung oil will require craftsmen and supplies in the coming year to build a stronger warship.

    Did Ma Cheng personally lead the troops here? Only 800 infantry were sent, and an old battalion commander later surveyed the formation. He also brought two Cossack captives as guides.

    The two sides demarcated administrative regions according to the water system. The places where the lower reaches of the Bailongjiang River can be reached are under the jurisdiction of the Anton Governor's Office, and the farthest to the west is Chita.  To the west of Chita, there is no territory of the Beihai Protectorate, and the current Gujin River Basin also belongs to the Beihai Protectorate.

    The fleet went north along the shore of the lake, passing Ugis Barguzin on the way, and the bastion outside was not empty.

    Today, there will also be troops and immigrants outside the outer bastion, because it is located at the mouth of the seventh small river (Barbi Hongming) that flows into the North Sea.

    As long as this place is firmly occupied, the Cossack stronghold along the coast of Barbi Hongming will be completely blocked.  Without the supply of gunpowder and other supplies, the downstream Cossacks would be killed by the natives sooner or later.

    &amp;quot; Keep seventy people and food, and hold that bastion!  &amp;quot;

    Yenisei ordered.

    Yenisei asked the Cossack guide sent by Macheng: "What's the name of that place?"  &amp;quot;

    The guide replied: "This river is called Barbi Hongming, and Yubao is called Ust Barguzin."  &amp;quot;

    Yenisei thought the name was too awkward, so he said: "Now it is called Gujin City and Nerchinsk."  &amp;quot;

    By the way, the lower Li Dingguo Bi Hong and the lower Li Dingguo River were also renamed Yin Bi Hong and Yin Ma River by Bi Hongming.  Take the meaning of "drinking horses in Beihai".

    Not more than a hundred miles away from Yinsk, the Cossack guide pointed to the west and said: "From there, take a boat to the west, at Bega.In the air, if you find an opportunity to drop a bomb.  So under the cover of the artillery, the launch location was changed, and the position was adjusted to hit the domain wall.

    In this case, Yenisei ordered the fleet to be driven into the river.

    Xiaoyao: Xiaoyao drove past the domain, because he was afraid of being bombarded outside the domain castle.

    Yenisei planned to bomb for eight days before attacking the area, but the Cossacks were under pressure on the evening of the seventh day.

    Those guys already had a lot of soldiers, and they lost domain pools one after another. Even the warlord died in Angara.  As long as your mind is stupid, you will know that you can stay outside, so you just take advantage of the night to run away.

    We traveled by boat, and we were discovered when we were far away from the city.

    Yenisei's camp was built by the river, and all the small troops were dispatched.

    Some of them stood guard on both sides of the river, lit torches, and fired guns indiscriminately outside the river. The white paint knew how few people were hit.

    Some of them were shooting under the boat to stop those Cossacks.

    There were no cannons installed under the boats of both sides, and the cannons of the Xiaotong Army kept firing blindly.  The Cossack's ship-mounted cannons have always misfired, because we didn't light the torches, and we wanted to rush through the night, and if there was no light, we would become targets.

    The fight was silent, but it looked vague.

    On the morning of the seventh day, before dawn, I checked the situation and saw boards and corpses floating everywhere on the river.

    Not many enemies died, and not many enemies broke through, so there is no way to count them.

    In this regard, Yenisei pulled out all the Cossack strongholds around the North Sea.  The reason why I played so poorly, apart from the cold air balloon bombing tactics, was mainly due to Bi Hong's Bi Hongming: Xiao Jie.

    In the Battle of Angara, the Cossacks took away the main force around the North Sea, and Yenisei fought all the way to a small part of the airspace.

    The seventh wave of envoys sent by the Tsar arrived at Bihong in Gujin River in autumn.

    Coincidentally, the Cossack who broke out also sent the news to the other side.

    Following the envoy was still the old acquaintance Baykov.  It was only the regiment personnel, and a small part was replaced by young nobles. We were sent by the tsar and the prime minister to learn the advanced technology of China.

    &amp;quot; What?  There are all castles and strongholds around Lake Baikal!  &amp;quot;

    Baykov: Little fright turns pale.

    It's just that Lake Baikal is lost, and even the Gujin River Warlord has been lost. In the vast and small Bi Hongming Warlord District, there is not even a chief officer.

    The generals triumphantly returned from the north, and the reform of the military system officially began.  2

    The four general titles of Hushi, Longhu, Zhenguo, and Dingguo were removed by Zhao Han from the ranks of military officers, and other titles were chosen to replace them.  3

    Zhang Tieniu was recalled to Nanjing and was awarded the title of General Motors and Riders.  4 Huang Yao was recalled to Nanjing and awarded the title of General Dragon and Tiger.  1 Li Zheng was recalled to Nanjing and was named General of the Town.  1Fei Yingqi was recalled to Nanjing and was awarded the title of General Dingguo.  5

    Gu Jianshan was recalled to Nanjing and awarded the title of General Fubo.  11

    These six people are in charge of the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, headed by Fei Ruhe, each with their own emphasis on specific jurisdiction.

    The earliest batch of Conglong Xunchen were all the governors of the Sixth Army, somewhat similar to the commanders of theaters.  4 Jiang Dashan served as the governor of the Chinese army and was stationed in Nanjing.  1

    Huang Shun, served as the governor of the rear army, stationed in Beijing.

    Hu Dinggui, served as the governor of the left army, stationed in Shenyang.  3 Jiang Liang, served as the governor of the right army, stationed in Xi'an.

    Ding Jiasheng, served as the former military governor, stationed in Kunming.  2_Fan Chao, served as the governor of the navy, stationed in Guangzhou.  4

    Under the six major governors, there will be left and right governors, all of whom will be served by veterans, in charge of local theater affairs.

    These veterans hold their positions, so that more generals can be promoted, and can serve as the general guard, teacher commander and other positions.  For example, Ying Bianpo and Li Dingguo were upgraded to small guards, and there were even seven division commanders who graduated from the military academy (all came from short-term training courses, such as Qin Liangyu’s grandson Ma Wannian).  , with only a slight focus on the frontier.  Just like in the future, the southern army has a huge number of troops, and a small number of troops are pressing on the northern border.  ,4

    ?The inspection and armed police forces in each province have been completely separated from the Dudu Mansion and integrated into the local command and division system, specializing in the suppression of bandits, New York, disaster relief and other work.  5

    If there is any disturbance in the local area, the commanders of all provinces will first bring patrol soldiers to wipe it out. If the disturbance is too small to be quelled, they will apply for the dispatch of regular soldiers in the small theaters.

    In case of emergencies, the commander-in-chief of the theater can dispatch inspection troops nearby.  In order to mobilize inspection troops on a small scale, the theater must consult the central government and obtain permission from the Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion.  5

    The urban police system was transformed into an administrative unit, which was managed by local civil servants.  In the event of an enemy attacking the city, the police must temporarily return to the command of the army. In states and counties where there are no troops stationed, the police must be quickly incorporated into the patrol inspection armed police system.  3

    Rural peasants and soldiers, once again reduced in size, belong to the military system, and the training department of the central governor's office has set up training institutions in various provinces.  It is not only responsible for recruiting and training recruits from farmers and soldiers, but also taking care of other departments to implement the transfer and resettlement of enlisted soldiers.  {One factory that has nothing to do with the military has been completely stripped from the Ministry of Industry and placed under the management of the Front Office and Equipment Department of the Dudu Mansion.  Gas 1

    The Ministry of War set up the Qing Army Division, and regularly dispatched Qing army envoys to inspect the violations of the army and military factories.  Gas 6

    "Conferred the title of king?"

    Shi Xiawan and Fei Ruhe had just returned to Nanjing when they met pedestrians sent by the emperor.

    The passer-by laughed and said, "Two young generals, please go home to bathe and fast for eight days, and the imperial edict will arrive before eight days." 1

    Xue Fengzuo took out a military ticket with a face value of 10 yuan: "Thank you for the good news!" 7

    Fei Ruhe also hurriedly paid for it, and the pedestrian picked him up.  It was a red envelope for good news, which was illegal according to the rules, but the officials dared to accept it. As long as the amount was small, someone would come to check it.  <8 Thousands of dikes are destroyed by ant nests, and corruption can always be eliminated.  9

    Seeing off the pedestrians, Shi Xiawan smiled wryly: "I'm afraid there will be French troops fighting now." 3

    Fei Ruhe is happy: "If you are in command, you will accept it. During the release period, no one is an opponent of the same army in the frontiers. The current wars are far from those of those expeditions, or they will keep chasing the enemy.

    Either win right away.  That kind of battle is not very interesting? Hehe, your old Zhang has never been a prince.  "17

    Eight days ago, the imperial edict was promulgated.

    Xue Fengzuo was conferred the title of Yongping King, and Fei Ruhe was conferred the title of Hejian King. They are both county kings and may be given to the prince.  ,10

    The two princes will command the battle again now, and the civil servants are also friends with each other.  In the next half a month, there were no visitors to the residence of the Seven Kings, but Xue Fengzuo and Fei Ruhe became more and more cautious. We are willing to receive anyone who comes, but we will accept any gifts.  1 Outside of Emperor Zhao, is there any self-defilement? 34

    Whether the topic of sealing the king lasted for a long time, the prefect of Peking sent people to Beijing, and people's attention was diverted.

    ? In July of this year, a meteor exploded in the sky below Beijing, seven rocks fell into the city, and one meteorite fell into the city.  According to history, it was the seventh year of Kangxi, and Kangxi's mother had just died four days ago, so?Everyone said it had nothing to do with the death of Taiqian.  <1 But it is the same now, because Beijing is the capital, and the political significance of meteorites is so small.  4

    In fact, as early as seventeen years later, no meteorite fell on Beijing.

    At that time, the Qintianyuan Planetarium explained that the meteorite fell on the old capital of the later dynasty, which represented the complete beginning of Xiaoming, and the Xiaotong Jiangshan Sheji became more stable.  So, what the hell is the seventh falling meteor now? 6

    The prefect of Peking also picked up the meteorites. Eleven meteorites fell to the ground, and a total of four were found.  None of them smashed the roof of the houses and fell on the bedside of the common people, almost killing them.  3 court meetings.

    Today's topic is the Beijing Meteorite.  1

    "That thing has no radiation, right?" Zhao Han stared at the meteorite, and others understood what I was talking about.  11 The four meteorites are all small in size, so it is unclear what type they are.  3

    The current curator of Qintianyuan Planetarium is Zhang Tieniu, another Yan time and space. When I was young, I majored in Lu Wang Xinxue. I studied with missionaries in my middle age and became a mathematician and astronomer.  " and was compiled into the time and space of "Qiku Quanshu", Shi Xiawan retired from Qintian Academy after ten years and has been engaged in astronomical research.

    But I can be the curator of astronomy because of mathematical research This gentleman, like Titius, discovered a certain number sequence, which is similar to the distance between the planets and the sun.  Planet 6 Well, in fact, that is just a coincidence, does it have any scientific significance.

    But Zhao Han knew astronomy, and the astronomers at this time all recognized Zhang Tieniu's "minor discovery", so Zhang Tieniu gained a great reputation.  Then the meteorite fell to the ground, and this day celebrates your mighty army!" Qi 6

    Zhao Han asked back: "Do you believe what he said?" 4

    "Well I'd rather believe it." Of course Zhang Tieniu believed it, and my job as curator of astronomy was for nothing.  3 Zhao Han asked: "How does he think the meteorite came from? Tell the truth."

    Zhang Tieniu bit the bullet and said: "My guess is that apart from the stars, there are not many sundries in the sky. Those sundries are so big that even a telescope can see them. They usually move and are worth being picked up by the earth's gravity.  Just slowly fall to the ground." 2

    "Continue talking." A smile appeared on Shi Xia's face.

    Zhang Tieniu said: "I have seen meteors at night. The light that the meteors bring out should be caused by the friction of the air. It is like cutting a stone with a knife, and it will also hit sparks. The speed of the meteor is very slow, and it is similar to the air.  If you rub against it, you will start a fire and burn yourself. When it falls to the ground, it will be no bigger than a chicken. That is the dangerous rock you see." 4

    A few of the civil and military ministers who participated in the court meeting are like listening to the scriptures, and we understand what air friction is.  1

    Seeing the emperor smiling, we also retorted.  If you talk nonsense, it will make the emperor unhappy at first, but at the seventh time you will appear to be ignorant.

    Shi Xia nodded and said, "He told the ministers that nothing has been discovered in the planetarium recently?"

    Zhang Tieniu said: "There is no scholar named Galileo in Western Europe. I found that Jupiter does not have seven satellites. The moon is not a satellite of the earth. If Jupiter is uninhabited, it is equivalent to seeing seven moons. That is more than Jupiter has satellites, and the planetarium lands one after another.  The ball is now measured, this year is not yet complete 7'{5

    "Jupiter has only seven satellites, right?" Zhao Han asked.  2

    "Maybe not yet," Shi Xiawan said, "Maybe the telescope is blurry. When better telescopes are made, fewer satellites can be observed."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Is there no other result?"

    Zhang Tieniu said: "Last year, a brand new star map was compiled, which is also the best star map in ancient and modern times. Seven years later, the lunar distance table was perfected. According to the lunar distance table, ocean-going ships can measure it within a few hours.  The latitude and longitude of where you are. uu Read &lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.uukanshu.com&quot;</a>  target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a> One year later,  The planetarium worked out the most perfect solar system model and combined with the results of the European scholar Kepler to determine the laws of planetary movement together with the physics museum. There are no other major achievements, such as the ebb and flow of the tide. The colleagues in the planetarium agree that it is affected by the sun and  due to the gravitational pull of the moon.”2

    Wu Chaogui, the left servant of the household department, could not help but said: "You have read Ge Hong's "Baopuzi" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and you have also read "The Theory of Things" by Yang Quan of the Eight Kingdoms. We all say that the tide is caused by the moon. I am afraid it is them  New planetarium discovery, huh?" 5

    Zhang Tieniu explained: "The Song Dynasty did not draw an accurate tide table, but the ancients could only guess its principle, but today people can explain the origin and process of the tide. The planetarium has formulated an elliptical model of the lake tide, and calculated a more precise one.  The laws of tidal motion."

    As he spoke, Zhang Tieniu cupped his hands and said: "Many researches on astronomical phenomena all rely on the non-gravity proposed by Your Majesty." 14

    In an instant, someone spoke again. It was the theory put forward by the emperor and the results of various scientific researches.  That planetarium is not praising the emperor himself! {13

    Zhao Han said to the ministers: "Confucius still says, respect ghosts and gods and stay away. The wide god with illusory lines, the will of heaven with illusory lines, cannot be doubted or insulted, but they can interfere with your work. The prefect of Beiping  Collecting meteorites and sending them to Nanjing is a great achievement. But you did not record the merits, but you gave the meteorites to the Qintian Institute for research. There are no meteors, earthquakes, etc., it is a lie  Disasters disturb the government.", 17

    "Your Majesty is holy!" All the ministers shouted in unison.  4

    Fei Ruhe yawned when he heard that, is that prince just playing tricks, or is Ru leading the army in the north.  13Movement rules.  "

    "You said you have Inca royal blood?" Zhao Hanrao looked at the person in front of him with interest, 5

    Where does Carlos have the slightest shadow of an Indian?

    His mother is native white, his father is Indian-European, his grandfather is Indian-European, his grandmother is native white, and he looks like a European.  {1

    Carlos said: "Respect the great Chinese emperor, I am indeed a descendant of the Inca royal family. Both Inca and China have a long civilization, and the two countries were brothers 10,000 years ago." 5 Zhao Han felt more and more funny: "Who told you  ?”

    Carlos replied: "I have a good friend named Cheng Jingming. He told me a lot about the history of China. When I came to China, I became more and more convinced of this. The ancestors of the Incas did come from China." 3 Carlos and  Cheng Jingming has been together for more than a year, and even learned Chinese, and can recognize hundreds of Chinese characters.  2

    He first arrived in Hawaii with the ship, and then went to Manila.

    Manila is nothing, and there are cities of the same size in America.  Then he came to Fuzhou, and was immediately stunned by the prosperity.  Docking at multiple ports along the way has completely strengthened Carlos' belief that the Inca and China must come from the same source, and they must be from the same source-

    12

    "Do all the Incas look the same as you?" Zhao Han asked intentionally.  1

    Carlos was suddenly a little embarrassed: "The Incas and the Chinese look the same. My blood is a little impure, which is caused by the damn Spaniards. Anyway, I have half of the Inca blood, and my soul belongs to the Inca. I  Jiang Yunqing, a friend of mine, said that as long as you have a heart for Zhao Han, you will be from Zhao Han. I also said that there are no Dutch descendants in China. If you learn Chinese and take a Chinese name, you are all Chinese.” 8

    Inca asked again: "He has no plans?"

    Cheng Jingming said: "China is rich and well-known, and has defeated Spain. Please read the emperor's love, send troops to attack Peru, and help the people of Zhao Han to restore the country. If you become King Zhao Han, your children and grandchildren will  Always be loyal to the Chinese emperor." <11 Inca shook his head and said: "Peru is too far away, and the cross-sea expedition requires too little military expenditure. Moreover, even if the Chinese army reaches Peru, will Zhao Han people really welcome it coldly? I am afraid we will help Spain fight the war  ."1

    "Yes, Jiang Yunren and the Chinese are brothers." Cheng Jingming said.

    Inca smiled and said: "He thinks so, but other Zhao Han people think so. We have had contact with the Chinese, but we submit to the rule of Spain." 3 Cheng Jingming was silent and answered.

    Jiang Yun induced: "He should let fewer Zhao Han people know that there is no China on the other side of the small ocean, the Chinese look exactly like us, and the Chinese have no common ancestors with us." 9 Cheng Jingming nodded: "  It is right to say that fewer compatriots should know about it. You should learn from your grandfather, write a book, and then spread your thoughts in Zhaohan.” 3

    "Scholars from the Imperial Academy can't help, and they have no doubts. Ask us for advice." Inca laughed even more distressed.  , 8

    Jiang Yunqing took the reward and left, and stayed in Zhongshan Temple.

    In addition to wandering around every day, I go to the Imperial Academy to chat and discuss the similarities between China and Zhao Han.  1

    Whether Zhao Han civilization has actually developed writing, and it is the only one among civilizations of the same level that has no writing.  That guy boasted that he had no words, but he was actually putting money on his face.  <10 Since there are no words, history can only start from myths.

    After some exchanges, it was a pity that Chinese mythology and Zhao Han mythology could not find any similarities, and the officials of the Imperial Academy even compiled them legally.  6 In the creation myths in various regions of the world, a small part of human beings are fabricated from clay.

    However, Zhao Han's mythology is different from others. Human beings are made of stone statues carved by gods.  The image of the Creator God is usually in the form of a murloc, next to Pangu and Nuwa.  ’13 Cheng Jingming could only search his brains and make up his own, consuming countless brain cells every day.

    The first is the mythical world view of Ruoxing Porcelain——i3

    The lower world of "Hanan Pacha" by Zhao Hanren,

    It is applied as the heaven in Chinese mythology.  "Kay Pacha" is a medium world, applying the Chinese human world.  The bottom world of "Uku? Pacha" applies to the underworld of China.  "2

    Apu (mountain god) is very useful, and there are not many mountain gods in the two countries.

    The sun god is also easy to touch porcelain, Dongjun, Sun Lord, Jinwu, etc., I don't know how to choose one to lean on Jiang Yun's sun god.  7_

    ?But the Moon God is easy to mess with. China’s Lunar Star Lord is a male, and Zhao Han’s Moon God is a sloppy guy.  Moreover, the moral quality is high, turning the essence of one's own life into fruit, and tricking other male gods into eating and giving birth to children.  {22 The Fusion of Mythology only started at the beginning, and Cheng Jingming edited it up, and then started with customs and habits.

    ?That’s easier to edit. China’s territory is narrow and wide, and the customs are the same everywhere. It’s not like Zhao Hanamp;quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">www.uukanshu.com&lt;/a&gt;</a> The eighth opening part  rewrite.  It must be written in a way that is not interesting, and it must be able to introduce some mythology dryly.  3 I introduce myself first in the book, and introduce my grandfather.  2

    Then I wrote about how I met Jiang Yunqing, and said that Carlos was exploring the Mayan temple. The patterns outside the temple are exactly the same as the Chinese Tie Tie, and the Chinese and Native Americans also look the same.  That aroused my curiosity, so I made friends with Carlos and decided to go to China to cultivate together.  Let me introduce Manila first, and by the way, China once defeated Spain, and Luzon Island was not taken away by China from Spain.  That is to reduce the reader's fear of Spain, explaining that Spain will also suffer defeat, while China's military strength is relatively weak.

    Then he described in detail Fuzhou, Ningbo, Xiahai, Nanjing and other small cities, showing the prosperity of China and the freedom and happiness of Chinese people.  1

    By the way, a custom is intercepted (made up) from each city, and it is set up with the customs of various ethnic groups in the Americas to narrow the relationship between Americans and Chinese.  4

    He also expounded the concept of China's Chinese nation, and included the Americas in the Chinese category.  Including native whites and Indo-European mixed blood, since they were born in America in the Chinese civilization circle, they belonged to Chinese people regardless of their skin color.  {11

    Regarding the poor life of the Chinese people at the bottom, and the fact that Chinese businessmen are exploited by officials, the content is written in detail, and it is not even close to flattery. It arouses the yearning of these American readers and makes us feel weaker towards the Spanish colonists.  Rebel emotions.  <12]

    It took only eight months for that guy to write "China Travel Notes" and let the officials of Honglu Temple translate it into Chinese.  1

    Inca was stunned after reading it. This man is a born rebel propagandist! 3

    ,

    Carlos was arranged to enter Jinling University, where he took literacy classes with minority students.  4

    He only has one year to study, and will return to America with the ship next year, but his wife and children will stay in Nanjing.  1

    In order to leave a good impression on the Inca friends, Zhao Han gave rewards many times.  Adding up the front and back, I rewarded a house outside the city, thirty pieces of silk, a luxury carriage, more than ten pieces of jade and jewelry, several pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and more than two thousand yuan in gold and silver.  {7 They are going to make revolution in America, so they must be treated well.  2

    The richer the Datong court rewarded Carlos, the more he thought of China.  Especially as time goes by, Carlos has lived in America for a long time, and suffered all kinds of discrimination and suppression, and China in his memory has become more and more beautiful.  3 The rubber seeds and saplings brought back by Cheng Jingming have been planted in various overseas territories, but it will take at least five or six years to tap the rubber.  ,8

    Zhuoluo has been particularly misbehaving in the past few years. About half a year ago, the king suddenly sent troops to Meng and occupied all the coastal cities in Myanmar.  The king of Meng cried and complained, and the Pingnan military and civilian government immediately selected envoys to question him. King Nalai came up with a bunch of excuses for sending troops, anyway, he was forced to send troops.  Of course, Yunluo did not dare to really expand, and withdrew its troops before the rainy season came, and snatched up all the coastal areas of Myanmar.

    Before Zhao Han sent anyone to inquire about the crime, Yun Luo sent many tributes.

    To put it bluntly, share the spoils! 6

    Zhao Han received the stolen goods from King Nalai, his anger subsided a little, and he decided to deal with it leniently.  It is still necessary to go through the process of condemning envoys and questioning crimes, and then ordering Luo to return some goods and people, the matter can be cleared up.  {4

    Of course Li Quan is greedy for money, but he is happy with Yun Luo's behavior.

    Yaoluo was surrounded by the vassal kingdoms of the Celestial Dynasty, and expansion was possible.  The more the king of Lai bullies the Mon Kingdom, the more the Mon people have to hold on to the Celestial Dynasty's calf to facilitate China's penetration of Myanmar's political culture.  <2 It is also necessary to be on guard against Yunluo. Under the rule of this King Lai, the strength of that country has increased slightly.

    This dish king served as a bodyguard for Lu Wen for several years, and also retired from Jinling Primary School.  Before returning to China to seize the throne, he gained prestige through military failures, then eliminated dissidents and small powers, and then rectified household registration, cleaned up land, built water conservancy and official roads, and actively encouraged the development of industry and commerce.  Yun Luo is not yet the overlord of Southeast Asia. No one can beat this except China.  1

    At the same time, internal conflicts are also small! 3

    This King Lai has two trusted advisors, one from China and one from Greece.  The Chinese are in charge of civil affairs, and the Greeks are in charge of diplomatic affairs and business affairs, which arouses the weakness and dissatisfaction of the Roman nobles.

    Usually Prince Papillon, who is in charge of military affairs, is in the same situation as the Greeks. In history, the coup d'état killed the Greeks and put the seriously ill king of Lai under house arrest, forcing Luo to go down the road of seclusion.  <1 Li Quan put Yao Luo in his heart too much, but it was the information from the Western Regions that made me feel happy.

    ? After following the caravan, the colleagues who went to Kashgar worked carefully and brought back a lot of small news.  2

    The prince of Yarkand and the governor of Kashgar, Yao Lebas, openly supported the religious leaders of the Baishan sect from Central Asia.  Later it was secretly supported, but now it is directly put on the table, and the Baishan faction in the Kashgar area was killed and expelled.  {2 The king of Yarkand, Abdullah Khan, was enraged by his son, but he sent troops to suppress it.

    King and prince, open break! 3

    The small Xinjiang is now united with eight small forces: one is the prince of the Kashgar region, the seventh is the king of the Aksu region, the eighth is the prince of the Turpan region, the seventh is the Hezhuo of the Hami region, and the seventh is the Heshuote tribe in the north of the Tianshan Mountains.  The eighth is the Zhungeer Department in the north.  5 The rear expedition to Mobei consumed too little food and grass, and the court is now in a hurry for two years.

    When the food and grass are sufficient, the troops can leave Jiayuguan.  9

    Moreover, the teachers came and went, Yumen, Guazhou, Dunhuang Those lost lands are in the hands of Hami and Zhuo, and they all need to be recovered. This is China's solid territory.  '12

    Another batch of serious criminals was transported,

    In fact, we are all death row prisoners, and we are even exiled to Bailongjiang and Tibet.  Tian Li wrote letters and begged several times, and Emperor Zhao finally threw a batch of death row prisoners here.  Qi 2 Tian Li was very kind to those prisoners on death row, and specially provided us with wives, all of whom were men bought from Japan.  1

    Compared with the original state a few years later, the estuary is not full of farmland.

    Here belongs to the Mediterranean climate, the rain is cold at the same time, and it is very suitable for growing rice.  Therefore, rice is grown in the farmland near the river, and corn, small beans, sweet potatoes, barley, etc. are grown in the farmland a little farther from the river.  <1 There were 74 underage girls outside the village, and in one case, all of them were felons.  10

    Our wives come from a simple source, there are no Nanyang men, no Japanese men, no Indian men.  big boy not yetThe same dictionary can contain all the content in a single copy, and the less it is printed, the cheaper it is to share the cost.  Carlos picked up the college textbooks, all of which were new editions with standard font sizes, which were more beautiful and concise than before.

    Carlos stroked the books and said: "Good books, good books, it's time to build a school outside the village." 1

    There are more than one hundred children in Xindeng Village, the youngest of which is less than seven or eight years old.  Since he grew up speaking Chinese with his father, it was time to learn Chinese characters. Carlos decided to teach by himself.  Tian Li asked: "Is there any change in the taxi book in the distance?"

    Lu Wenxiao said with a smile: "The aborigines in the east often fight with the aborigines in the south, but there are still people who come to provoke you. Well, last year, no aborigines in the south came over secretly and wanted to exchange iron axes from us. It must be because of the defeat in the battle. I found out  The benefit of the ax."

    "Is there any exchange for us?" Tian Li asked.

    Carlos shook his head and said, "Is there? We are allies with the natives in the east, and the land outside the village was also bought from us. How can you exchange iron axes for the enemies of your allies?" 1 The ally is not for sale, but that ally is too close  , it can still be sold for the time being, otherwise the village will never have peace.  2

    "Iron-pot, two-mouths!"

    The native Indians spoke stiff Chinese, pointing to the iron pot and making gestures.  1

    "No," Feng Xing was afraid that the natives would not understand, so he raised a finger and said, "Only one iron pot is exchanged every year."

    Feng Xing could barely understand a few words, and it seemed that the tribes further east were in need.  After finding out the reason, Feng Xing became more determined: "I only change one iron pot every year." The natives had no choice but to choose other products.

    Feng Xing used to be a clerk in a store. Because he had studied in middle school for two years and was also smart, the shopkeeper admired him a lot.  Later, I got to know the boss and was appreciated by the boss. After a few years, the third school cabinet was promoted to the semicolon. When he was promoted to the second school cabinet, Feng Xing committed a crime.

    This guy was dragged to gamble by his elementary school classmates, and he was so addicted to it that he couldn't extricate himself.  After losing his savings, he still owed a lot of usury, so he was obsessed with the idea of ??making money from the trading company-3 Soon he was discovered, scared and absconded.

    On the way to escape, Feng Xing became more and more angry as he thought about it.  He is a young semicolon No. 2 school cabinet with a promising future, but he actually ruined his life because of gambling.  Moreover, he suspected that he had been set up by someone, and those guys partnered to defraud him of his money.  So Feng Xing stopped running away and went back to kill the classmate who lured him to gamble.  Then he rushed into the underground casino, chased down the croupiers and gamblers who often played cards together, and after killing two people, they were twisted and sent to see the officials.  Gas 9

    Of course Feng Xing was sentenced to death, the underground casino was also shut down, and those who partnered with the casino to lend low interest were also imprisoned.

    Li Quan, who was killed before Qiuqian, escaped his life by chance, and was thrown to Xindeng Village by Feng Xing to be in charge of foreign trade affairs outside the village.  7

    In Li Quan's host, the iron pot and iron ax are only sold in limited quantities.  That can slow down the natives, and they take the initiative to increase the price to buy. In two or eight years, the fur in exchange for the same iron pot has almost doubled.  Gas 2

    The current trade process is: Xin Deng village in exchange for Li Zheng's supplies, and then sold to the aborigines for fur.  The indigenous tribe next door is also making a difference, getting ironware from Xindeng Village and selling it to other tribes outside the alliance.

    The price of sea otter fur in China ranks the bottom eight among all furs.  7

    And California is full of sea otters!

    How much can agricultural products be sold for? Xindeng Village became rich thanks to the fur trade.  1

    "Another an axe." The native begged.

    Li Quan sighed and said: "Oh, you have few axes." i1 The aborigine stretched out two sticks: "Add-ten——sea otter skin."

    Li Quan reluctantly said: "Since he is so innocent, let's sell him another axe." 3 "Thank you!"  3

    Li Quan pointed to a pile of goods next to him: "Those cotton cloths can't be sold, he can quickly count them himself." Those indigenous people are good at mathematics, and when trading items, they must come quickly one by one.

    The aborigine was inspecting the cotton cloth, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and seeing that there was no large mirror nearby, he immediately said, "Mirror I want it!"

    Li Zheng said: "Mirrors are very precious. The wolf skins, deer skins, and bear skins he left Hey, he understands the words so little. Mirrors, exchange all of them!",3 "All  ?” The native understood.

    "Yes, all of them." Li Quan nodded.

    "good!"

    The aborigines picked up the mirror, handed over the remaining fur to Li Quan, and then led them away happily.  2_

    Wei Zhaonan watched the aborigines go away, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Those profiteers, Xu, has there ever been a time when doing business is a scam?" 2

    Li Quan said with a smile: "That's not called cheating people. Rare things are the most precious. In those years, only one mirror was replaced, which was very valuable to scholars. You have already asked, and the natives got the mirror.  , not handed over to the wizard for safekeeping, saying that it can communicate with our gods. Mr. Village Chief, the mirror is a forbidden sacrificial vessel outside there!" 9

    Wei Zhaonan also found it funny: "Let him be in charge of trade, the guy really chose the right person.

    "

    "This is it? You have only been here for seven years, and the territory outside the village has doubled." Li Quan said triumphantly.  3

    The man used the iron ax as a restricted commodity, and took advantage of the war among the natives to sell the iron ax as a weapon.  Moreover, when I heard that someone else was going to war, I took the initiative to find the door to sell.  50 iron axes, buy a small piece of land, and the village community's land will be doubled directly.

    Of course, the indigenous tribes next door are also at a loss.

    We fought without an iron axe, and we clumsily held He Yi to Xindeng Village. We rose up in the entire alliance, and the tribal chief even became the deputy leader of the alliance.  We put a one-meter-long wooden handle on the iron axe, and when fighting the tribal alliance in the south, we were often able to defeat several enemies with one enemy, and Sisi expanded its territory to the south.  5

    Those natives even regarded the Han people as fools.  {8

    ?—a large piece of land,.  2 Feng Xing asked strangely: "Why do you take a Spanish ship?"

    Li Zhengchun explained with a high head: "You have money to buy blood purification documents, and you are eligible to take Spanish ships." 5 "Okay, you allow them to disembark." Feng Xing nodded.

    Indo-European hybrids in America must spend huge sums of money to purchase blood purification instruments before they can be upgraded to native whites.  2

    If you become a native white person, you are not eligible to take a boat trip to Europe to study, and if you return to America, your status will be close to that of a colonist, and you will not be eligible to be an official history of the colonies—it is just a qualification.  1. The fewer Indo-European people who have been to China, the less we will, before we return to the Americas, we will definitely publicize that China is racially strict and that China is engaged in blood purification.  3

    When Li Zheng returned with a few Indo-European mixed blood, these Spanish monopoly businessmen were suing the king.

    Monopolies have discovered that the goods we ship from Europe are selling more and more easily in the Americas.  Generally, it is cotton cloth, which is discounted before the discount, and the sales volume continues to rise and fall.  '4

    So we sent people to investigate and found that the smuggling on the west coast of Mexico was minor.  2

    "Your Majesty, please increase the fleet on the west coast of America and prohibit all Chinese ships from docking! ?

 Text 1003 [The Governor of Mexico who can speak Chinese]

    ,

    During the Little Ice Age in the 17th century, rebellions (uprisings) came and went all over the world.  2

    China, Japan, Korea, India, England, Scotland, Netherlands, Portugal, France, Italy, Austria, Russia, Switzerland, Southeast Asian countries None of these places can escape, and the rebellion was concentrated in the 20 to 30 years before and after 1640  inside.

    Mexico is of course no exception. At the beginning of the establishment of the Datong New Dynasty, the Mexican rebellion lasted for two years.

    The more rebellious the colonies, the crueler the Spanish rule!

    Not to mention native whites and Indo-European mixed blood, even Spanish colonial officials became increasingly dissatisfied with the king because the royal family's restrictive policy was too disgusting.

    Officials in the Spanish colonies are not allowed to bring married children with them when they take office, they are not allowed to recruit relatives as subordinates, they are not allowed to purchase property in the colonies or participate in economic affairs, and all actions must be reported to the king in detail.  The official position hopes to set up a matryoshka, and a single matter can involve more than a dozen departments. Under each other's elbows, no one can handle it alone.

    The governor's district must have a trial court, which is usually similar to the Supreme Court, and supervises all the governor's actions, and can even report the governor's mistakes to the king at any time.  3 Mexico City.

    A representative of a high-ranking person from Canglia and Tess was facing the Governor-General Pajanfo Dianqiu: "Your Excellency, you must severely crack down on smuggling, including smuggling on the east coast and west coast. Especially on the west coast, Chinese cotton cloth  Selling it too cheap is shameless malicious dumping!" "I will, of course I will fight smuggling.  " Li Junxiang nodded and said. 3

    The businessman representative continued: "The Chamber of Commerce in Seville hasn't protested to His Majesty yet. If you learn from him, he will take action as slowly as possible. Your Majesty will definitely revoke his governorship!" Azt said: "You  Been cracking down on smuggling, but the rats are too rampant.”2

    The high-ranking representative said angrily: "Your Majesty, he is perfunctory. Before you came to Mexico, you visited various markets. You know that many officials are also involved in smuggling. That kind of behavior must be stopped gently. Officials who engage in smuggling  They should all be hanged!" "Indeed they should be hanged." Azt always had a smile on his face, and I agreed with everything I said.  5

    Sending away the representatives of the Selivian merchants, Governor Azt murmured to himself: "It is time for the Chinese to lower the price of the goods, so that they can continue to do so. The reserve price for the auction of the goods should be set lower." 3  As for what is prohibited from smuggling, Azt has never thought about it. I am afraid that I will die accidentally from a white gun.  6

    The Spanish king's restrictions on colonial trade have not yet reached the level of insanity.

    Only senior people from Seville can obtain a trading license, and Gauja from other cities in Spain, even if he is a small family, has to stand aside.  Seville businessmen form a high-level alliance to crazily cut down the land, suppress domestic counterparts with Ah, earn huge profits and share the spoils with the king 1

    In mainland Spain, there are so few ports, only Seville cannot dock ships from the Americas.  And in the small America, there is only eight other ports, and ships from Spain cannot be docked.  That is to facilitate management and combat smuggling trade.

    It is extremely nonsense to implement.  For example, when European goods are shipped to Buyi to send to Ellis, they cannot reach the port directly by sea.  But it had to land in Panama, and then it was transported by mules and horses across the Andes Mountains, traveling 542 kilometers to get there, and the transportation cost alone was four times as high.  1

    Therefore, there are not many European merchants who first transport the goods to West Africa, and then smuggle them across the Atlantic Ocean.  The local colonial officials were very cooperative, helping the smugglers to distribute the goods, and they could make several times the profits by changing hands.  Azt picked up the quill pen, wrote a dozen or so letters by hand, and called his cronies to say: "Send it according to the address. He must deliver it in person. It can be delivered by others. Those are the price of travel expenses."

    "Yes!" The cronies left immediately.

    The content of Azt's letter is very short, and he is afraid of being searched by the procuratorate, because there is only one sentence in the letter: There is a drought this year, and I am afraid that the Lord will send disasters. They must be more devout.  A former minor bishop made everyone more devout to the Lord, which fits my identity very well.

    After Azt served as the governor of New Spain, he only served as a minor bishop and spent several years in Macau.  I was born in Shaoming Youhui, and when the Xiaotong army recaptured Macau, the Jesus Society took the opportunity to drive me to the Philippines.  1 Historically, that guy lived in China for ten years, witnessed the Manchu massacre of Guangzhou City, and wrote a book "The History of the Tatar Conquest of China".

    The narrative content of this book is very worthless, but the views are contradictory.

    Take the Manchu Qing occupation of Guangzhou as an example. Let me first say that the Manchu Qing generals had low moral character and were good at generalizing the residents.  It is also said that the generals of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties will ask for Tuna property and give it to the family of the property, and a mark will be left at the door to avoid harassment.  He also said that the generals of the Qing Dynasty were sure that Liu Tushen was satisfied with the goods donated, and even stole them with the money.  1

    &nbsp;What kind of low morality is that?

    ,1

    What kind of family treats residents well?

    In Azt's pen, the gentry is only extorted for money, and will be taken away if they give too much.  The special people were massacred by the Manchus at will, and countless women and men were respected by the soldiers.

    By the way, those massacred people and those respected women and men are all residents of Guangzhou.  After we surrendered the city, we got a promise from the generals of the Qing Dynasty, saying that before we retreated from the city, it would be looting.  However, should kill or kill, should rob or rob, should humiliate or humiliate.

    7

    Palaifu came to America again, and went back with Li Quan, but took the expedition team and followed the merchants to Mexico City.  1 "The city is so small?" Paleyfort stood by the lake, looking at Mexico City in the middle of the lake. The size of the city was beyond my expectation.  2

    Simonez, a native white businessman, immediately laughed and said proudly: "The tiny city of Mexico has a population of only eight or seven hundred thousand. Is there such a city in China?" 2

    "It's not true either." Paleyfort said casually, too lazy to explain too little.  2-

    After the arrival of the Spaniards, the Chengjing Mingke Empire hadn't built a city in the lake, and the city's population was between 150,000 and 200,000.

    Due to frequent flooding, the famous emperor "Jiezhilang" (transliterated as Niesawa Keyou) personally designed and built a long flood embankment.  Half a century ago, the Mingke people in Chengjing built the seventh flood embankment and built the inner city aqueduct.  As well as an irrigation system with a lake.  】3 Simonez took Palefort back, crossed the long bridge under the lake, pointed to the city and said, "That block was built in the past few decades, and it will all be the surface of the lake in the future."

    Paley asked curiously: "Where's the lake water?"

    Simon Nieyi replied: "The lake has been drained. Seventy years later, the city was flooded twice in a row. The governor made a grand plan, not to open two diversion canals to drain the lake completely. By then  , can prevent the lake from overflowing, and can expand the area of ??the small city carefully. There is no small mathematician who has calculated the inflow and outflow of water, and it will take 200 years to completely empty the lake." 3

    Li Junxiang was dumbfounded, and subconsciously asked: "The lake must have dried up, what about the military and civilian water in the city? How to irrigate the farmland around the lake?"

    "There will always be no water, the river is still flowing." Ximen Li Jun laughed.

    Li Junxiang felt that those guys were crazy, they must have blocked the drain, and there must have been a small problem two hundred years ago.  In addition, if the farmland around the lake is to be irrigated easily.  <1 Mexico City hundreds of years ago can be described as hard to describe.

    A city built under a lake actually teaches its residents to use water, and it needs to dig a small amount of wells to obtain ground water.  The geology in the lake is inherently loose, and the ground water has been pumped crazily. Riga Mexico has frequent earthquakes, and cracks appear in the buildings from time to time.  1

    And the whole city sinks by seventy or eighty centimeters every year.  3

    Passing through two urban areas, I came to an Indian aboriginal neighborhood, where a grand celebration was being held.

    "Is that a wedding?" Li Junxiang asked.

    Ximen Lijun glanced casually, confused the bride and groom, nodded and said: "We are a pair of brothers and sisters, with pure royal lineage of the Cheng Jingmingke Empire. Before Spain ruled there, there were only real descendants of the royal family.  Brothers and sisters are not allowed to marry by license." "Brothers and sisters" Palefort knows how to evaluate.  2_

    Cheng Jingming conquered the royal family of the empire and was not slaughtered.  Even after forty years, we have learned to continue to rule the natives, owning our own mansions and armies.  {1

    It's a pity that the royal family exploited the people too much. They ran out of the indigenous people and went to the colonial governor to file a complaint. At first, it even led to a riot.  Xiaoxi, a Spanish colonist, took the opportunity to replace the native chiefs and disband the royal army. Cheng Jingming's royal family became mascots, and it was generally boring to marry the royal family in the future.

    The brother and sister had to go to St. Shaoming's chapel first, and the priest would preside over the Western-style wedding.  Go back to your residence, change into Spanish costumes, wear traditional feather ornaments, beat gilded music, sing Chichimeca and the music of flowing water, and perform Cheng Jingmingke's traditional ritual dance as a sacrificial dance.  When he was a teenager, he performed under the altar of heart-gouging and beheading, but now it has become a wedding dance out of the ordinary.

    For these two pieces of music, the tune remains unchanged, but the lyrics have changed from hunting and irrigation to praising the God of Europe.  1_

    When Palaifu came there, everything felt strange.

    I also participated in the wedding of the descendants of the royal family. When my brother and sister heard that I was a Chinese envoy, they immediately invited me to retreat for dinner and drink.  ,1

    ? That night, Palev lived in the mansion of the former royal family. I plan to talk less next time, and maybe I can get the original information of Cheng Jingmingke's empire.

    On the seventh day, Palefort was allowed to meet with the Governor of New Spain.

    Palefort was about to communicate in Spanish, but saw Governor Azt suddenly cupped his hands and said in correct Chinese: "It's a joy to have no friends coming from afar. Welcome Chinese friends!" 3 "Governor's Court  Can you speak Chinese?" Palife asked in surprise.  1

    Azt said with a smile: "You can speak Cantonese and Nanjing Mandarin. It's a pity that you didn't have a good time in China. You were kicked out of the show by their emperor." 3 (There is only one update today.  .) 6nbsp; Palefort was about to communicate in Spanish, but saw Governor Azt suddenly cupped his hands and said in correct Chinese: "It's a pleasure to have no friends from afar, welcome Chinese friends!" 3 "Governor  Your Excellency can speak Chinese?" Paleyfort asked in surprise.  1

    Azt said with a smile: "You can speak Cantonese and Nanjing Mandarin. It's a pity that you didn't live happily in China. You were kicked out of the show by their emperor." 3 (There is only one update today.  .)

 Text 1004【Chain Reaction】

    ,

    A mixed-race servant came in with a kettle, and Palaifu made tea himself, and said to Cheng Jingming: "Authentic West Lake Longjing, traditional Chinese brewing method. Please use it slowly!" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Thank you Governor for your kindness." Cheng Jingming smiled.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Palaifu sent the servants out, and there were only two people left in the house.  He cut to the chase and said, "Even if you don't come, I'm going to send someone to deliver a letter to Mr. Li. Next year, the starting price of all goods must be increased by at least three times, and the price of cotton cloth must be more than five times." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt  ;

    "With so much increase, can it still be sold?" Cheng Jingming was quite surprised.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Palaifu explained: "It's just to increase the starting price to prevent the final price from being too low. His Majesty the King already knows that you are smuggling, and Chinese goods can no longer be dumped at low prices, otherwise those colonial monopoly dealers will be angered. Moreover, your  The reputation has spread, and more and more merchants are coming to buy goods. No matter how high the starting price is, it will not lead to failed auctions." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Cheng Jingming said: "I will pass on the news to Commander Li." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Also, for the Chinese living in Mexico, it is the bottom line to allow them to worship their ancestors in private," Palaifu said, "I heard that some people actually want to build temples, and you should tell them that this behavior will be burned to death  of." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The European Inquisition is in the hands of the Dominicans, and the special skill of these guys is human meat barbecue.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The differences in the spread of Christianity in China are actually the differences between the Dominicans and the Jesuits, as well as Spain and Portugal competing for religious influence.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    ? Spain supports the Dominican Church and prohibits the Chinese from worshiping Confucius and offering sacrifices to their ancestors.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Portugal supports the Jesuits and advocates the integration of Christianity and Chinese cultural traditions.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    ? As a result of the struggle between the two sides, the Papal State broke off diplomatic relations with Portugal, and the Portuguese king could not be crowned - there were several Portuguese kings in a row, and all their portraits did not wear crowns.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Cheng Jingming nodded and said, "I'll tell you that too." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Palefort suddenly closed his eyes: "Your Majesty, the imperial envoy may be sent next year to strictly investigate the smuggling situation in the Americas. In the summer of the next year, the Chinese Navy can dispatch to intercept the Spanish galleon in the Kuroshio Belt. I will ask the Philippine Warlord to cooperate.  , A bloodless naval battle broke out, causing the silver silk trade to be suspended for one year. Mr. Li’s fleet will come next year, and a naval battle will also break out. You go to the northernmost port and wait, so that he must be prepared.”  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Your Excellency, Governor, is really a good idea!" Cheng Jingming said sincerely.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    These two naval battles were for Spanish imperial envoys, and the war scripts had already been written.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Next year, the Spanish navy will attack the Chinese fleet, "sinking and injuring" several Chinese merchant ships, and everyone from the governor to the navy will contribute.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The following year, the Chinese navy attacked the Spanish fleet, artificially cutting off the silver trade for a year, and giving the illusion that the Philippines was in danger.  The King of Spain was absolutely frightened, and then sent envoys to negotiate peace with China, and since then acquiesced to Chinese merchant ships trading in America.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Everyone can benefit, anyway, just get the king and imperial envoys in the lake.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The silver wire trade has been cut off for a year, so the loss doesn't matter.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    When the Spanish navy attacks Li Quan next year, the goods will be brought ashore ahead of time, and will not be shipped without telling the imperial envoy.  In the following year, the silver wire trade was cut off, which meant that Chinese goods could not be imported into America for two consecutive years.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Then, the price of Chinese goods will inevitably skyrocket, and when the trade resumes, the inventory will be taken out immediately, and the profits will roll up.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Everything is in Palaifu's calculations, and the Governor of the Philippines will definitely listen to him.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The Philippines, like Central America, belongs to the Warlord's District.  Strictly speaking, there is no Filipino governor, only the Filipino overseer, and the overseer is appointed and dismissed by the governor of New Spain (Palif).  Therefore, the governor of Mexico City wears a pair of pants with the governor of the Philippines, and it is also a subordinate relationship.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The largest smuggling umbrella in the Americas is none other than Palife himself!  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    ? When this guy leaves his post and returns to China, the money he got will never be spent in ten lifetimes.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Netherlands, Amsterdam.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    &nbspamp;amp;gt;

    &amp;lt;a id=&amp;quot;wzsy&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://www.xhsxsw.com/book/xianmuqiyuan/&amp;quot  ;&amp;gt;&quot;" target="_blank">http://www.xhsxsw.com/book/xianmuqiyuan/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;  <a href="http://www.xhsxsw.com/book/xianmuqiyuan/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">http://www.xhsxsw.com/book  /xianmuqiyuan/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</a>"The Fairywood"&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    A quarter of the full-time religious privileged population wants to exploit the common people together with the nobles and businessmen. How difficult is life for the lower class?  As a result, more and more people chose to be priests, and more and more people fled to the colonies. A vicious circle has long been formed.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    ? Spain, which has the most colonies in the world, was forced to issue an order not to move to the colonies without permission&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Compared with a hundred years ago, this situation is completely different from heaven and hell.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    When Spain was first unified, more than 50,000 Arabs converted to Catholicism, laying the foundation for Spain's industry and commerce.  With the opening of the new sea route, Spanish industry and commerce developed explosively. At that time, there were more than 16,000 wool spinning workshops in Selivia alone, with more than 130,000 wool spinning workers.  Toledo became the center of the European silk industry, with more than 3,000 silk workshops and more than 30,000 silk weavers.  The sugar industry also dominates the entire Europe.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    All changes start with war.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Before the Thirty Years' War, Spain's treasury was empty because the king was fighting all over the world.  In Europe alone, Spain has fought with half the countries, fighting this and that, and often fighting several countries at the same time.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Not to mention the war, as a European nouveau riche, the Spanish royal family and nobles opened up their enjoyment, and their extravagant life was like throwing away gold and silver.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    If the finances collapse, then taxes will be collected.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Transaction tax, checkpoint tax, real estate taxeven when people move from one street to another, they must pay taxes to the government.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    In the end, I didn't even bother to collect taxes by myself, and directly contracted the taxes to the merchants.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Under the joint pressure of the government and tax contractors, Spanish industry and commerce quickly came to an end. Taxes accounted for more than half of the cost of goods, and high prices quickly lost market share.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Merchants went bankrupt and workers lost their jobs.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Agriculture was also hit hard, and farmers were oppressed by the government, tax contractors, clergy, and feudal nobles.  The land was abandoned and the peasants fled.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Even deliberately forced the farmers to flee, so that they could take the opportunity to enclose the land, turn the arable land into pastures, and sell the wool to the Dutch at a high price.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Your Majesty, the Dutch West India Company is said to have gone bankrupt. A large number of cotton mills in the Netherlands have also closed down, and there will be no market for American cotton in the future The cause of all this is Chinese smuggling in America. If you don't crack down on smuggling, Your Majesty  Maybe it won't go bankrupt, but our members of the Seville Chamber of Commerce will definitely go bankrupt.” &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The Federation of Seville Chambers of Commerce came to petition the King of Spain for the fourth time.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "King of the Earth" Philip IV is very old. He witnessed the last glory of Spain, and stepped on the accelerator for Spain's decline.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    At the beginning of this guy's succession to the throne, he faced the Thirty Years' War, frantically expanded the army to 300,000 people, and declared the country bankrupt after only two years in office.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Your Majesty"&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Philip IV seemed to be asleep, but suddenly opened his eyes: "You don't need to say anything, I will send imperial envoys to Mexico to bring to justice all officials involved in smuggling. As long as the Chinese fleet dares to go to Mexico, one ship will be sunk  One ship!" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Praise you in the name of the Lord, Your Majesty!" The merchants were finally happy.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    After sending these guys away, Philip IV sat still.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    How dare he start a war with China?  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    ,

    The Second Anglo-Dutch War was not limited to Europe, there were also battlefields in America and Africa.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    A British naval expedition well, actually a group of pirates, they have long been entrenched in the Caribbean islands.  After receiving the order of Charles II, the pirates immediately attacked New Amsterdam and renamed it after the occupation - New York!  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    At the same time, the British Royal African Company began to attack the West African colonies in an attempt to seize the ivory, slaves and gold trade from the Dutch.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    On the main European battlefield, Britain dispatched more than 100 warships, 4,200 large and small artillery pieces, and a force of 22,000 troops.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    This was achieved by Charles II's smuggling of pots and irons. At the same time, he also had the family property saved by Cromwell. Of course, the enthusiastic investment of Dutch businessmen was indispensable.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    &amp;lt;a id=&amp;quot;wzsy&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://m.beqege.cc&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp  ;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&quot;" target="_blank">http://m.beqege.cc&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt  ;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://m.beqege.cc&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/  a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">http://m.beqege.cc&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/a&gt;  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</a>

    The port of Amsterdam was blocked by the British Navy for half a month. The Dutch industry and commerce were already in decline, but the port was blocked again. Prices in the capital soared to the point of starvation.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Then, Britain withdrew its troops &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    All decent ships in the UK were converted into warships to go to war, which resulted in not enough food ships, and the navy had to return to the country for supplies when they ran out of food.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The Netherlands took the opportunity to recover, and the big businessmen negotiated urgently and decided to grit their teeth to raise military expenses.  First solve the problem of the Dutch Navy's military pay, and then assemble the fleet to start a counterattack, and finally the two sides fought in the Lowestoft sea area.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    In the history of human naval warfare, battle line tactics were first used in actual combat.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    This stuff has been proposed before, but the British Navy first adopted it, but the initial performance was not perfect.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The British navy had the upper hand and lined up.  The Dutch Navy hastily responded to the battle, and its formation was in a mess.  The two sides drove past each other, and because the British were not familiar with tactics, they forgot about the battle line.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    In the end, it turned into a big fight, with each other's warships entangled with each other, but the Dutch were more chaotic than the British.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    In the afternoon of the battle, the Dutch flagship exploded and the British army won a complete victory.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The Netherlands lost 18 warships and more than 5,000 crew and soldiers, but the main force still managed to escape from the battlefield.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Two months later, fighting broke out again.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    This time the Netherlands issued a wartime mobilization order to call a large number of armed merchant ships to participate in the war.  The British lost several warships, but the main force retreated safely, and captured more than a dozen Dutch merchant ships fleeing the wind and waves on the way home.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    After another two months, the third battle started.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Historically, the British navy has always had the upper hand. As a result, the Black Death broke out in the country, and more than 100,000 people died in London alone.  Since then, the situation has reversed, and Britain eventually lost the Second Anglo-Dutch War.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Now the war has been advanced two years, the Black Death has not broken out in London, and the British Navy has been fighting against the Netherlands.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The Netherlands launched an emergency diplomatic operation and formed an anti-British alliance with Denmark.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Since France was married to Britain, it was inconvenient for Louis XIV to intervene forcibly.  However, the Sun King is a bad guy, and secretly sent supplies to the Netherlands, instigating the Netherlands to fight the UK to the end.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Britain went to Portugal for help, but the young king of Portugal was paralyzed and mentally ill.  The king couldn't make the decision, a group of nobles argued endlessly, and finally agreed to form an alliance with Britain, but they were only willing to cheer for Britain from the sidelines.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    More and more Dutch merchants awakened and took the initiative to join the battle with armed merchant ships. The four-year-long tug-of-war between Britain and the Netherlands began.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Both sides have run out of food, and are frantically buying food from other countries.  businessman??Song Haijun went to Cebu Island for a stroll, and incidentally fired a few cannonballs as a greeting.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    ? The governor of Mexico, Palaufort, was frightened to reduce the commission for Chinese merchant ships, and the profits of Li Quan's Sihai Trading Company soared by 5%.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Spain and the Netherlands are in complete decline, Britain is licking its wounds, and France has leapt to the hegemony of continental Europe.  China can earn a little more money without doing anything, and I can't wait for the European countries to fight a few more games.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    As for India, the two brothers, the Mughal emperor and the Bengal emperor, went militaristically and frantically expanded, and both eventually led to bad results.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    There are frequent uprisings in their country, and they don't want to do anything all year round, they are busy leading troops to quell the chaos.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Especially in Afghanistan, the chiefs of various ministries fought guerrillas with the Mughals in the mountains, and the Mughals gave up their right to rule Afghanistan.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Then, a civil war broke out in Afghanistan among chiefs who all wanted to be kings themselves.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    After losing the territory of Afghanistan, the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb became more and more angry, so he attacked the Golkonda country in the south with all his strength.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The two sides fought back and forth, and the rebels in both sides also fought back and forth with the government forces.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    In order to obtain war funds and intensify the exploitation of Hindus, the Golkonda Kingdom has three territories in succession, and the Hindu princes declared independence.  One of the sites, next to the state of Jin, even chose to be loyal to the king of Jin in order to resist the counterattack of the Golconda sultan.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    However, Oman in the Arabian Peninsula has started a rapid expansion mode. From the Gulf of Aden to Kenya, all of them have become the territory of Oman, and the Portuguese were beaten to the ground.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The wise emperor of Persia died, and his son succeeded him. He became an alcoholic and stayed in the palace drinking all day long. The power of the Persian Empire fell into the hands of eunuchs.  The border of Persia has been constantly invaded by Central Asian tribes, and the land has been lost bit by bit.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The Ottoman Empire ended the Queen's Era, and the 80-year-old veteran presided over the overall situation, restored the central power and the combat effectiveness of the troops, and expanded wildly towards the surrounding areas again.  In particular, the overseas territories of Venice were occupied by the Ottomans one by one, and the Ottoman Empire was planning to attack Austria.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Russia fought Ottoman badly and was unable to expand to Siberia at all.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Nanjing, the Forbidden City.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Zhao Han said to Bayinkov, who was on his second mission to China: "Go back and tell Emperor Luocha to let him abandon the Yenisei Warlord Area as soon as possible, otherwise there will be endless wars waiting for him. I will fight all the way to the Volga River.  !" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Bayinkov prostrated himself on the ground: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, if China claims the Lake Baikal region, I will return to Moscow to convey it to His Majesty the Tsar, and mediate the truce negotiations. But it is impossible for Russia to give up the Yenisei River Basin  , the Russians will fight to the end!" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Lake Baikal?" Zhao Han sneered, "It is already China's North Sea, and there is Osinsk not far to the west. Only by occupying it can China completely control the North Sea. Counting the time, the Beihai Protectorate should have dispatched troops  Well, maybe when you go back, Osinsk has already changed its Chinese name. Take Osinsk, then Upper Lusk and Ust-Kut.  "&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Bayinkov lay on the ground, his expression almost desperate.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The damned Ottomans, expanding like mad dogs, dragged all the Russian troops to the border, and it was impossible to transfer them to the Yenisei area to fight.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Ottoman is a mad dog, China is also a mad dog, and Russia has to face two mad dogs at the same time.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "I have sent an envoy to visit Osman. I heard that Prime Minister Osman is an old minister who is almost 90 years old. I really admire him from the bottom of his heart. With such a wise old minister, I am willing to  Ally with the Ottomans." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Bayinkov was dumbfounded when he heard that, Ottoman and China formed an alliance, is there still a way for Russia to survive?  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt

    ,

    Only when China wins the Yenisei River Basin can it be regarded as consolidating the northern frontier defense.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    This is because the North Sea is connected to the Yenisei River, and the Cossacks are entrenched along the Yenisei River, and they can attack the North Sea by boat at any time.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Second, the Yenisei River originates from the northern mountains of the Great Lakes Basin, that is, the mountains in the northwest of Mobei.  The Cossacks occupied there and were able to go upstream and run to the northwest of Mobei to make trouble.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    And if China acquires this place, the Yenisei River Basin, Beihai region, and Mobei Mongolia can all be connected together.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Zhongshan Temple, Fanshiyuan.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    A group of Russian soldiers in red coats and orange boots guarded the front and back doors to prevent eavesdropping.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Tsar Alexei I attached great importance to this mission to China, and even sent the red-clothed shooting army to escort him.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    There are three types of shooting army: red clothes, blue clothes, and green clothes. The top red clothes belong to the palace guard, and the lowest green clothes can only be used for police and firefighting.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Its predecessor was the musket team formed by Emperor Yin Fanlei more than a hundred years ago.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    At that time, the traditional army of Tsarist Russia was useless, so Emperor Yin Fanlei recruited free people from small merchants and farmers to form a musket force.  In the first few decades, it was naturally an absolute elite, but now it has evolved into a lifelong and hereditary system.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    You can understand it as - Russian military family!  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    And the number of people has reached tens of thousands.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Therefore, at the beginning of Alexei I's accession to the throne, the powerful ministers made money and messed around. Not only did they not pay wages to the shooting army, but the shooting army had to pay taxes to serve as soldiers.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    It is normal for a group of military households not to pay wages, but asking them to pay poll tax is outrageous.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Originally, the shooting army dedicated to muskets had become a mess of weapons: muskets, long axes, machetes, sabers, and very few were equipped with long guns.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    As soon as the shooting army arrived in China, their muskets were temporarily confiscated, and they were only allowed to carry cold weapons.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Bayinkov closed the door, went back to the room and said: "The shooting army is guarding the outside, no one can eavesdrop." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    A 20-year-old young man was the first to speak: "The Yenisei River Basin must not be lost. The most urgent task is to ask His Majesty the Tsar to cease the war with the Ottomans, and then send soldiers to station in the Yenisei River castles." &amp;lt;/  p&amp;gt;

    Bayinkov shook his head: "The Yenisei River is too far away, it is impossible to garrison a large number of troops, and Russia's finances cannot afford it." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The young man also said: "It is possible not to increase the garrison, but the immigration must be accelerated. The tsar should cancel the immigration ban, and at the same time continue to send prisoners to Siberia in exile. Only by enriching the population of Siberia can we effectively stop the expansion of Khitan, otherwise we will never be able to truly expand in the East.  Foothold." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Hehe, abolish the immigration ban, do you think you have lived enough?" The noble young man next to him sneered.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    These young people traveling with the mission either came from big noble families, or they were top students from small noble families.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The previous young man was a top student named Vasily Vasilyevich Golitsyn.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    This guy later became Princess Sophia's lover, helped Sophia destroy Peter the Great's grandmother's house, and was named Duke for his meritorious service.  He ordered the negotiation and signing of the "Treaty of Nerchinsk" with the Qing Dynasty, forcing Poland to recognize that Kiev and all the territory east of the Dnieper River belonged to Russia, and led Europe to form an anti-Ottoman alliance.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    As for the ending, he was exiled to death by Peter the Great.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    At this time, Golitsyn was still a problem writer, and his father was a civilian in Moscow. He was known as the most talented young man in Russia.  Not only is he proficient in Western European culture, but he also studies natural science, advocates the abolition of serfdom, the implementation of religious freedom, the development of industry and commerce, and so on.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    To be honest, if Golitsyn hadn't taken refuge in Sophia Asia, he would most likely have become prime minister under Peter the Great!  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Peter the Great was able to reform smoothly, thanks to Golitsyn's painful killer, who wiped out Grandma Peter's family.  Because Peter the Great's grandmother's family was the biggest obstacle to Russian reform.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Facing the question from the noble youth, Golitsyn raised his fist: "RussiaFanbang came, and actually said in Latin: "Master is not at home, Qintianyuan is on duty." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "You know Latin?" Golitsyn asked in surprise.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The servant said: "I can only say a few words. You can come back the day after tomorrow, the court officials are on holiday." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Golitsyn said: "I can wait here." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    But the servant said: "When the master is studying knowledge, he often forgets to go home, and spends half of every month spending the night in Qintianyuan."&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Golitsyn had no choice but to say goodbye, return to the small courtyard he rented, and read the Latin "Collection of Datong".  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Until the evening, the gates of the city were closed, and the Russian youths who had entered the city hadn't returned, and even the shooting army responsible for protecting the safety was nowhere to be seen.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Golitsyn was penniless, hungry, and unable to communicate with his neighbors.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    He could only visit Pascal again, and after knocking on the courtyard door for a long time, the servant came out and said, "Master won't be coming home today, maybe he is doing some experiments."&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Excuse me." Golitsyn left disappointed.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    ?Woke up from hunger in the middle of the night, Golitsyn got up and went to the yard, took a bucket of well water and drank wildly.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Damn Khovansky, who is responsible for managing the funds for studying abroad, forgot to give Golitsyn this month's living expenses.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Until noon the next day, the Russian youths hadn't come back yet. Goritsyn smelled the smell of food next door, and finally couldn't resist knocking on the door to beg for food.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    A half-grown child opened the door. Seeing him, he immediately took a few steps back, turned around and shouted: "Father, mother, there is a Western ghost here!" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The adults in the house ran out in a hurry, and a woman held the child in her arms.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Golitsyn imitated Chinese bowing, rubbed his belly, pointed to his mouth, chewed his saliva and said, "Hungryeat"&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    &amp;lt;a id=&amp;quot;wzsy&amp;quot; href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://wap.biququ.info/html/47930/&amp;quot  ;&amp;gt;&quot;" target="_blank">http://wap.biququ.info/html/47930/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;  <a href="http://wap.biququ.info/html/47930/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">http://wap.biququ.info/html  /47930/&amp;quot;&amp;gt;&lt;/a&gt;</a> "I have a book of ghosts and gods" &amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The male owner of this family could see it clearly, and immediately laughed: "Hey, this is so strange, the Western ghosts are also asking for trouble. How did you come to the Celestial Dynasty without money?" &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Golitsyn didn't understand, so he could only smile and continue pointing to his mouth: "Eat." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The host called his wife, children, and parents back to the main room, and immediately brought a bowl of food, muttering in his mouth: "In the past, it was not so easy to beg for food. Now that life is more abundant, I haven't seen a beggar for a long time. Eat it."  , eat, that's all, I don't care if I'm not full." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Thank you!" Golitsyn finally spoke a Chinese word.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The male host stood by, watching Golitsyn gobble it up, and kept complaining: "This is the reincarnation of a starving ghost, don't swallow my bowl."&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Finally, the lake got a meal. Although he was not full, he was no longer so hungry.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    Golitsyn went back to the courtyard and continued to wait. He did not wait for the Russian youth to come back, but he waited for the police in Nanjing and an interpreter from Honglu Temple.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Are you Golitsyn?" asked the interpreter.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Yes." Golitsyn nodded.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    The translator said: "Your companions have been arrested and suspected of provoking trouble, you should go to the government too." &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;

    "Are you in charge of the meal?" Golitsyn asked.  &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt

    ,

    Golitsyn was not taken to the county office, nor to the court, but to the police station.  The scene was very lively, there were more than 30 gang fights, almost everyone was injured, they were divided into two groups and sat there staring.  Since foreigners were involved, the interpreter of Honglu Temple was also called and seemed to be mediating conflicts there.  A cultural man wearing a square scarf pointed to his swollen eyes and said, "Deputy Qian Bureau, what do you think I have been beaten up? My parents have never beaten me, but today I have these barbarians beat me up."  You have to pay for the soup and medicine, and you have to put these savages in jail!" Deputy Chief Qian of the police station laughed and said, "You didn't suffer a loss. It's really embarrassing to say that 24 people beat 13 others, and they almost lost  Thanks to those Nanyang servants, otherwise you will all have to lie down, and I will beat you up by then." The literati argued, "Uncle Qian, we are all gentlemen, we always use our mouths but not our hands, fighting is inferior  Talented people do things." Director Qian said: "Okay, the matter is very clear. You do it first" "What do you mean we do it first?" The literati said angrily, "It's these Raksha barbarians who don't know the rules.  I don’t know how to talk about it, but I actually learn to recruit prostitutes in Xuanwu Lake. Do the famous prostitutes on the boats meet whenever they want? Even we are honestly playing tea circles, and they insist on making a fuss. I can’t understand the theory, these barbarians  He yelled at me, all the saliva splashed on my face. I pushed him away, and he punched me. The fist was so heavy, it made me stare at me with one punch. He hit someone first, okay?  OK?" Chief Qian said angrily, "You motherfucker, is that called pushing people away? Can you just kick them with your feet, or attack from behind, the Raksha ghost still has your footprints on his back."  "I don't care," the literati said, "Uncle Qian, let's not talk about your old acquaintance with my father, just say whether the Chinese people help the Chinese people!"  Pianbang people: "How about this, let the Raksha ghosts pay for the soup and medicine. There are 24 of you in total, and each of you will be compensated ten taels of silver."  When boarding the ship, ask them to leave all their troops behind. They will definitely use knives and guns, and my nephew may even lose his life.” Director Qian turned to the interpreter of Honglu Temple and said: “These envoys are fighting and fighting.  Let them bring weapons again, and all weapons must be confiscated." The interpreter said: "The Russian envoys have already left, and these people are not envoys, but foreigners staying in the capital."  "" Director Qian said, "tell these Raksha ghosts to pay 240 taels of soup medicine. In addition, the fight broke the furniture, teapots, and teacups of the boat.  Get up: "What expensive things cost 20 taels? For those tables, chairs, benches, teapots and tea bowls, 5 taels of silver is more than enough to pay him." Director Qian said to the boatman: "Twenty taels is really too much." "Then ten taels, can't  Not much more," said the boatman, "not only did they break things, but they also broke the boat business, which should be paid for." The translator then went to talk to the Tsarist Russian youth to explain the results of the case.  When Khovansky heard this, he said angrily, "He kicked me from the back first, why should we lose money?" The interpreter said, "You injured someone." "We were also injured." Khovansky said  .  The interpreter said: "But they were hurt more." Khovanski said: "They were hurt more because they were too weak to fight. Is it a sin for us to be stronger?" The interpreter said: "They are standing  Come out to uphold justice, you are the first to make trouble on the boat." Khovanski said: "We heard that the boats in the lake are high-end brothels, so we went there. But the boat owner took the money, but did not call the prostitutes, only let  We drank tea on another boat. It was a scam. We were cheated of money, so we got into a fight with the tea pourer." "You also said that it is a high-end brothel, can it be the same as an ordinary brothel?" the interpreter explained, "I think  If you want to meet a famous prostitute, you must drink tea and drink first. And you can’t just go once, if you spend less than ten times, the famous prostitute doesn’t even want to know your name.” Khovansky was stunned: “Is this a prostitute or a lady?  The translator sighed: "I really didn't lie to you. You will know when you learn to speak Chinese." Khovansky held back his anger, and had no choice but to take out the bank note: "I don't have two hundred and forty taels.  Cash, this is a one-thousand tael certificate of deposit from Datong Bank." These young people studying in Tsarist Russia only had one thousand taels of silver, and the rest was dozens of taels of change.  A quarter of the funding for studying abroad was lost for just one brawl.  When Golitsyn came to the police station, these guys had already gone to the bank, and the two sides were dealing with the compensation issue at Datong Bank.  Golitsyn also made a statement at the police station, and was asked to hand in his saber, and he would take it away with a receipt when he left Nanjing.  Back in the small rented courtyard, those young people were arguing and fighting.  When they finished their quarrel, Golitsyn stepped forward and said, "I haven't paid my living expenses for this month." "Do you still want money?" Khovansky was worried and had nowhere to vent, and sneered, "We are all great nobles.  Only you are an ordinary nobleman. Why do you hang out with us?" Golitsyn said, "I was sent by His Majesty the Tsar to study in China, and was personally selected by His Excellency the Prime Minister." "I don't care how you got here,  Get out of here immediately!" Khovanski said.Roar.  "Hit him!" Another nobleman shouted, and someone rushed over and hit Golitsyn on the cheekbone.  Khovanski also started to act, kicking Goritsyn to the ground.  After a fat beating, Golitsyn was carried and thrown out of the courtyard. He was in so much pain that he couldn't get up for a long time.  But these noble youths paid more than two hundred taels of silver, but they didn't know what to do.  He continued to play in and out of the city all day long, and was ripped off by the shopkeepers, leaving a few hundred taels of silver, which was spent in less than two months.  They dug out a few pieces of sable fur left by Bayinkov. These things are very valuable in Nanjing. Good quality can cost thousands of taels of silver, while bad ones can be sold for four to five hundred taels.  lingdian. These guys sell it in leather goods stores, and they also know to go to Honglu Temple to find an interpreter.  But the translator is not reliable, and the joint merchants cheated on their things.  It was agreed that the total price would be 5,000 taels, but only 1,000 taels was paid, and only one mink fur was admitted.  Khovanski was furious, and in front of the interpreter, he beat up the owner of the fur shop.  Then, they went to the police station again and paid twenty taels of soup for medicine Half a year later, a group of Russian beggars appeared in Nanjing, and their daily income was actually not bad.  Because Nanjing has not seen beggars for a long time, and now not only do they have them, they are also Raksha beggars, and the common people regard them as rare animals.  Poor brother Khovanski, historically, he was the actual executor of the coup in Sofia.  At that time, he was in control of the shooting army, which was equivalent to the Moscow garrison commander. He was bribed by Sophia to launch a coup, expelled Peter the Great by force and put him under house arrest.  This guy has no brains at all, and after the matter is done, he actually considers himself a hero and clamors for an official promotion.  Sofia promoted him to a rank, but Khovanski was still not satisfied, and asked Sofia to build a monument to the Shooting Army in Moscow.  His demands became more and more outrageous, forcing Sophia to cut him off.  And the new commander-in-chief of the shooting army is that Golitsyn!  But Golitsyn was beaten bruised and swollen, and went to visit Pascal with a limp. Fortunately, Pascal was at home on vacation this time.  Pascal has lived in China for many years and has already studied both arts and sciences. He not only produced a number of research results, but also studied the Four Books and Five Classics in depth.  His way of reading the Four Books and Five Classics is very similar to that of Zhao Han, that is, grasping the basic ideas and developments of Confucianism, and then re-reading specific books in detail, studying Confucianism as a natural science, and not doing the kind of excerpts from chapters.  stuff.  "You were abandoned by the nobles?" Pascal couldn't help laughing.  Golitsyn corrected: "They haven't inherited the title, they are just sons of great nobles." Pascal asked: "Are you going back to Russia?" "I have no money," Golitsyn shook his head, "I want to find a job,  Then use your spare time to study, but I don’t speak Khitan yet. I have studied natural science in Moscow, and I can be your assistant without salary, just take care of the food.” Pascal thought for a while: “Then you do it.  My assistant." Golitsyn asked curiously: "Aren't you planning to go back to France? Why do you have to live in China?" "Staying in France, I can't deal with the relationship between science and God," Pascal sighed.  China, I still can't deal with it, but I can stop thinking about it. France is my country, but China is where I belong. God may exist, but certainly not in the way people think. God may be an energy, maybe  It's a kind of will, but it's definitely not a sacred creature in human form." Hearing this, Golitsyn quickly made a sign of the cross on his chest.  Pascal asked: "What about you, and then return to Moscow after acquiring knowledge?" Golitsyn said: "Yes, I must go back. When I return to Moscow, millions of serfs will be free, and Russia will become like never before.  Powerful. The Yenisei River Basin will definitely fall into Khitan's hands, but I will firmly consolidate the territory west of the Yenisei River!" The ideal is very grand, but its implementation is nonsense.  According to China's reform in Russia, it will be torn apart after modification.  Then we have to take it step by step, first learn the development model of Western Europe, and at most learn a little science and technology in China.  "Mr. Pascal," Golitsyn asked suddenly, "except for climate factors, why do you think China can become powerful? Why can it have such a large population?" Pascal said with a smile: "The development of civilizations is different. Recently, I was reading an overseas post.  Articles that record many different civilizations. Some are still primitive societies, while others were conquered by colonists. There are some young scholars in China who analyze and summarize the types and progress of civilizations. If you are interested, you can subscribe to those journals.” &amp;lt  ;/p&amp;gt

    ,

    Zhenjuan Yishui Shoal 1008 Woke up in the morning, washed up, and Golitsyn ran to the dining room.

    "Sir, I have prepared the equipment for the experiment you are going to do today," Golitsyn said.

    "Come over for dinner," Pascal said with a smile, "I forgot to tell you, there is no work today. If you want, you can accompany me to the riverside to watch the steamship test sail."

    "Steamboat?" Golitsyn couldn't understand.

    Pascal explained: "There is a steam engine in China, and foreigners are forbidden to study it, but it is still possible to watch it from a distance. In the southwest of the suburbs of Nanjing, there are many chimneys emitting black smoke. That is the smoke from the steam engine."

    Golitsyn still didn't understand, and couldn't help but ask, "Is that Eastern witchcraft?"

    Pascal smiled and said, "You can also understand it in this way."

    When Pascal went out, he not only asked Golitsyn to follow him, but also brought his servants along with him.

    All the way to the edge of the Yangtze River, where thousands of people have gathered.

    Suddenly, the imperial guards cleared the way, and Zhao Han showed up with the royal family.  But instead of leaving the city, he climbed up the north city wall and waited on the majestic tower.

    Xu Zhengming, who is in charge of developing the steam engine, is by Zhao Han's side at this moment.

    He has improved the steam engine again, changing the single cylinder to a double cylinder, which greatly improved the efficiency of the machine.  The steamship used for this test voyage uses a twin-cylinder steam engine, and the inventor is Xu Zhengming's son and apprentice.

    "Your Majesty, you are ready." Xu Zhengming said.

    Zhao Han nodded and said, "Then let's try the voyage."

    Xu Zhengming raised the flag in his hand, and his son and apprentice immediately ordered the steamboat to set sail after receiving the news.

    "Woooooh~~~"

    The twin-cylinder steam engine had already been preheated, and the steam hit the whistle, making a loud shrill sound, and the ship's chimney emitted more dense black smoke.

    There are paddles installed on both sides of the hull. This thing is ready-made, and paddle boats appeared in the Song Dynasty.  In the past, the pedals were stepped on by manpower, but now they are driven by steam engines to move forward slowly in the Yangtze River.

    Zhao Han stared at the binoculars for two minutes and asked, "Can it be faster?"

    "The boiler will have to burn for a while before it can reach the fastest speed." Xu Zhengming explained.

    Zhao Han didn't press anymore, but turned around and asked the concubines: "How is this thing?"

    "It's too slow." Fei Rulan said.

    Fei Rumei said: "The smoke is too much."

    Liu Rushi smiled and said, "It would be great if we can improve faster."

    Aunt Zhu asked: "Isn't this really pedaling?"

    ""

    After the concubines had finished speaking, Zhao Han asked Zhao Kuanghuan: "What does the crown prince think?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan replied: "As it is now, it doesn't seem to be very useful, and the machine needs to be continuously improved."

    The speed of the steamboat in front of me is about the same as that of a person walking.  If a person runs on the shore, he will leave the steamship behind in minutes, and the cruising range is less than 200 miles. When the coal is burned out, he has to go to the shore to refuel.

    It has great scientific value but no practical value.

    Everyone in the royal family was not very satisfied with the steamboat, but Golitsyn, who was standing on the shore, stared at the monster in the river with dumbfounded eyes.

    "Witchcraftit's really witchcraft, witchcraft bought from the devil!" Golitsyn kept muttering.

    Pascal said with a smile: "This is natural science, a different kind of witchcraft. I am using my research on air pressure to help Qin Tianjian improve the steam engine. Maybe the steam engine will run faster in the future."

    ?As the steamship drifted away, the people on the shore cheered, some of which were mixed with ridicule.

    As for the joke, of course it is the slow speed of sailing like a turtle.

    ? According to the original historical track, in more than two decades, the French proposed the idea of ??a steam ship.  But no one paid attention to it, and the steam engine was not efficient enough to support this idea into practice.

    More than a hundred years later, a Frenchman built a steamship, and during the trial voyage, both the man and the boat were blown up.  Another American built a steamship, which was destroyed in a storm and killed.  Then the Americans built a steamship and sailed in the inland river, but the river operator stopped it and dragged the boat to the shore and seized it.

    Until the appearance of Fulton, Napoleon first supported him in building the ship. Due to the unstable center of gravity, it was blown over by wind and waves during the trial voyage.  Then he pledged his allegiance to the United Kingdom, but was always ignored by the United Kingdom.  With the money earned from England, Fulton returned to the United States to do it himself, and the steamship finally succeeded in its trial voyage.

    "Your Majesty, I must lead my disciples to continue to improve." Xu Zhengming was afraid that the emperor would be unhappy.

    Zhao Han smiled and said: "Don't worry, take your time, you have done a good job."

    &nbZhengdao: "Your Majesty, the Volga River is what the Russians call it, and we Mongolians call it the Ezile River."

    "How's the situation over there?" Zhao Han asked curiously.

    Ayuqi said: "The Russians are very strong in the middle and upper reaches, and they also built castles in the lower reaches. We have been fighting the Russians for a long time. The Russians are weak in field battles, but the castles are very difficult to deal with. Some Cossacks are Russian accomplices. There are also some  The Cossacks, our allies, join us in fighting the Russians."

    The Cossacks, who were enemies of the Torghuts, mainly operated in the Volga River Basin.

    The Cossacks allied with the Torghut Ministry mainly operated in the Don River Basin.

    Ayuqi continued: "I was on my way to Nanjing, and I heard that His Majesty is also at war with Russia. The roots of the Mongols are in China, and the Mongols are willing to be Her Majesty's pioneers, and they will never die with the Mongols on the Ezile River!"

    This was an interesting remark, and Zhao Han almost laughed.

    ?From Jiayuguan to the Volga River, there is a distance of 108,000 miles, saying anything is nonsense, and their obedience to the Chinese emperor is purely superficial.

    Of course, Zhao Han was very happy to be able to disgust Tsarist Russia, and decided to give Ayuqi a thousand muskets as a gift.

    After all, Ayuqi's grandson led his tribe back east in history, and half of the 170,000 people died on the way.

    I would rather die in half than return to China, and refuse to accept the rule of Tsarist Russia, which shows how cruel the oppression of Tsarist Russia is.

 Text 1009 [Lighting up the map of Central Asia]

    ,

    Zhao Han obviously attached great importance to A Yuqi, not only kept him to eat in the Forbidden City, but also called the crown prince and grandson.

    "Greetings to His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Grandson!" Ayuqi was very excited, and his affection for Zhao Han was infinitely high, and he felt that it was the right time for him to come to Nanjing this time.

    Zhao Kuanghuan was also very approachable, and he actually bowed his hand to the Mongolian prince in return.

    "Grandpahug!" Emperor Taisun Zhao Shixuan raised his hands.

    Zhao Shixuan is four years old this year. He is the second son of the prince, but he is the eldest son.

    Zhao Han picked up his grandson, put him on his lap and fed him with a smile.

    A Yuqi raised his glass to Zhao Han first, and then he respected the prince, and described the situation in Central Asia in detail: "More than two hundred years ago, the Khan of the White Horde Khanate was killed, and the White Horde Khanate collapsed. The descendants of the youngest son of Shuchi  Abu Lihaier Khan ascended the throne. This person has been in power for forty years and has laid a vast territory. The country is called the Uzbek Khanate. The people directly under Abu Lihaier Khan are craftsmen, farmers and businessmen. They are collectively referred to as'  Uzbeks'. The tribes living in the Kipchak steppe are called 'Kazakhs'."

    Zhao Han suddenly realized, and finally figured out the origins of Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan.

    The merchants and craftsmen in Datong China only went as far as the Yinli River Basin, and they really didn't know much about the situation in Central Asia.

    Ayuqi said: "Up to now, the Uzbek Khanate has been destroyed. The Kazakhs migrated to the Seven Rivers Basin and established the Kazakh Khanate, and the grasslands under their control continued to grow. The Kazakh Khanate was divided into three jurisdictions, Dayuzi,  Zhongyuzi and Xiaoyuzi. At its peak, this country had a population of one million and 300,000 people who controlled strings. But now it has been divided, and the three Yuzi are in charge of their own affairs."

    Zhao Han just fed his grandson and asked the prince to communicate with Ayuqi.

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked the palace servants to bring the globe and asked, "Where are the three jades?"

    Ayuqi touched the globe for the first time and was shocked when he got it in his hand. After careful confirmation, he said: "Small Yuzi is in the west of the Kazakh Khanate, Middle Yuzi is in the northeast of the Khanate, and Big Yuzi is in the south of the Khanate. This is the Khiva Khanate  , this is the Khanate of Bukhara."

    At this time, the Kazakh Khanate covered almost half of Central Asia, but it was also mixed with two other Khanates—the Aral Sea and its surrounding areas belonged to the Khiva Khanate, and Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, and southeastern Uzbekistan belonged to Bukhara  Khanate.

    The Bukhara Khanate was established by the Uzbeks. It has been at war with Persia for hundreds of years, and it has to cross the border to Persia to plunder from time to time.

    Xiaoyuzi is located on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, Zhongyuzi is next to the northern Xinjiang region, and Dayuzi is next to the southern Xinjiang region of Xinjiang.

    Zhao Han swept towards the globe while listening to Ayuqi's narration.

    The map of Central Asia is finally lit up.

    Zhao Han suddenly asked: "How is your relationship with Kazakh Sanyuzi?"

    "Oirat Mongolia has been at war with the Kazakhs for more than a hundred years," Ayuqi said, "but our Torghut tribe was pushed out by the Oirats and moved westward, so we are still friendly with the Kazakhs. This time I brought 500  The tribe came to China, and they were not attacked by Kazakhs on the way."

    Zhao Han asked again: "Did you bring the golden seal bestowed by Daming?"

    Ayuqi said: "No, I must bring it next time."

    "You don't need to bring it, I'll send someone to get it and get a new seal for the Torghut Department," Zhao Han said, "I will make your father king"

    "Your Majesty," Ayuqi interrupted in embarrassment, "my grandfather is still alive."

    Zhao Han immediately changed his words: "Canonize your grandfather as the king of Torghut, named the county king, and the prince of Zhibi. When you go back, go with the canonized envoy of the Celestial Dynasty."

    Ayuqi said: "Your Majesty, I have seen many new crops in the Celestial Dynasty, including potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. I heard that all of them can produce high yields. Please give me some grain seeds."

    "Yes." Zhao Han agreed.

    At this time, the Turghut Department did not grow much food.

    It was not until Ayuqi succeeded to the throne that farming and commerce were encouraged, and his strength quickly reached its peak.

    It's a pity that he met Peter the Great. Russia was also developing rapidly at that time, and the Turghut Khanate became a dumping ground for Russian goods.  Russia sells goods to Ayuqi at high prices, and imports grain from Ayuqi at low prices, and is cut miserably by industrial scissors.

    In Ayuqi's later years, the status of the two countries was no longer equal, and the Turghut Khanate had to obey the tsar in name.

    After asking a lot of specific information, Ayuqi was taken away from the Forbidden City by the guards.

    Zhao Han hugged his grandson and asked, "Do you know why you support the Turghut Department?"

    Zhao Kuanghuan backEarned a lot of silver.  But the countryside is sparsely populated, and the price of food in the city is expensive, and there may be food shortages from time to time.  In three to five years at the most, the Pegatron Special Department is estimated to be able to capture these places.  "

    Pang Anguo said: "The Yarkand nobles in Turpan and Hami all live in big houses and wear luxurious clothes. They are all extravagant and dissipated. Now they are doing business with our country and stuck on the Silk Road. The more money they earn, the worse they will be in war.  However, the Mongols in the north were often hit by snowstorms in the freezing weather, so they could only continue to go south to plunder. As one goes down, the Yaerqiang Kingdom will be destroyed sooner or later.”

    "The fall of Hami and Turpan is the best time for our country to send troops." Xie Yuan said.

    Pang Anguo nodded and said, "That's right. The religion and language of the people here are different from those in Mongolia. I'm afraid the Mongols will have to work hard to put down the rebellion if they take over the territory. When our army leaves Jiayuguan, the Mongols will be like a rootless weed.  Easy to beat.?

 Text 1010 [Another person gave the emperor a girl]

    ,

    The envoys and Ayuqi continued westward, and when they arrived in the Aksu area, they found that the division of Yarkand had reached an irreversible point.

    The governor of Aksu, as the king's confidant, actually supported himself and did not obey anyone's orders.

    ?The King of Yarkand, who nominally owns half of Xinjiang, was blocked in Yarkand City (Yecheng County) at this time and could not get out.  And it was his son Jolevas who blocked the king.

    Passing Kashgar, Yao Levas greeted him personally.

    After the wine was hot, Yao Levas said at the banquet: "Your Excellency, my father is already unpopular. Please ask the emperor of China to canonize me as the new king of Yarkand."

    Xie Yuan said in an official tone: "It is inconvenient for the Celestial Dynasty to interfere with the internal affairs of Yaerqiang. Your father, after all, is the king conferred by the Celestial Dynasty. Unless he dies, it is impossible for the Celestial Dynasty to confer a new king."

    Yao Lewas was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "I see."

    This guy has long wanted to fight a decisive battle with his father, and after the envoys left, he mobilized his troops and planned to kill the city of Yarkand in the coming year.

    King Abdullah Khan, when he heard that his son was collecting food, immediately responded severely - kill his own grandson and granddaughter!

    Yao Levas has only one son and one daughter, and they all live in the city of Yarkand. If they are all killed, there will be no future.

    It's a human relations drama, the son wants to lead troops to attack his father, and his father kills his grandchildren so that his son will never be born again.

    Hearing that his sons and daughters were killed, Yao Levas couldn't wait for next year, and he didn't care that the food and grass were not ready yet, so he even led his troops to the city of Yarkand.

    The king and the prince fought for hegemony, while the rest of the governors watched.

    In fact, it was the Kashgar army that went to fight the army in Yecheng County, and the total number of troops participating in the battle barely exceeded 10,000.

    Abdullah Khan was unfortunately defeated and was forced by his son to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca. He "died of illness" within two months of departure.

    Montenegro sent He Zhuo to flee to Aksu with the little prince, and the governor of Aksu supported the little prince as king.  The two kings of Yarkand coexisted and started a more intense civil war, completely ignoring the Mongols' invasion south

    After passing Kashgar, it is the territory of the Kyrgyz people, which is the Kyrgyzstan of later generations.

    The people of Kyrgyzstan did not establish a country, and have been beaten by surrounding forces for hundreds of years.  But no one has killed them all, and they all regard this place as a subsidiary force, and at this time they nominally submit to the Zhungeer Ministry.

    Arriving here, of course, went to Suiye City to pay his respects, Xie Yuan paid homage to Li Bai there.

    There are mountains in front of you, so you can only go southwest or northwest.

    In the southwest is the Bukhara Khanate, a Persian cultural country established by the Uzbeks, and at the same time went to Persia to plunder and fight every now and then.

    Ayuqi has no communication with the Bukhara Khanate, so he is not sure whether it is safe there.

    So everyone walked northwest and soon came to the pasture of Dayuzi.

    The Kazakhs in Dayuzzi are eyeing the envoys.  But seeing that they brought cavalry and claimed to be Chinese envoys, no one dared to rob them after all.

    Some tribes here belong to the semi-nomadic state, and many cities have been built in the river area, and there are many Kazakhs who are half-cultivating and half-herding.

    When it came to Zhongyuzi's site, the style of painting obviously changed.

    There are almost no cities in Zhongyuzi, and they are all nomadic tribes, just like the Mongolians in Mobei.

    After about six days of advancing in the Chincha Grassland, someone finally came to contact me.

    The scout in charge of guarding the rear rushed back on a fast horse, and blew the horn before the people arrived.

    "The whole army is in armor!"

    Sun Ruotao, the cavalry general in charge of escorting the envoy, immediately shouted the order, and Aqiyu's cavalry also began to put on their armor.

    Not long after, the sound of rumbling horseshoes came.

    About 3,000 Kazakh cavalry stopped a hundred steps away from the envoy.

    Deputy envoy Pang Anguo said: "You are the envoy, but you are not good at riding. I will negotiate with the other party."

    Xie Yuan nodded and said, "Be careful."

    Pang Anguo led a few cavalrymen and ran out with Aqiyu on horseback.

    Several Kazakhs also rode over.

    The leader was a young man in his twenties. He spoke with a loud voice: "I am the son of Jianger Khan, the leader of Kazakhs, Khan. Are you envoys from China?"

    Pang Anguo said: "I am the deputy envoy of the Celestial Dynasty, and I was ordered to go to the Turghut Khanate to be crowned king."

    Toukhan asked: "I heard that China defeated Zhungeer in the east. Is this news true?"

    &nLater, it even overthrew Peter the Great's expeditionary army.

    Xie Yuan asked for information along the way, and recorded all kinds of news, especially the city and climate.

    "It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books," Xie Yuan said with emotion, "I've gained a lot from this mission. Kazakhstan and the countries in the south have very different customs from European knowledge and materials. I have learned a lot."

    Pang Anguo joked: "People are of different races, and there are orchids everywhere. The people here grow up really fast. They seem to be fifteen or sixteen years old, or even seventeen or eighteen years old, but they are only twelve or thirteen years old when asked."

    "I don't know what the area around the Caspian Sea looks like," Xie Yuan said, "If I didn't have a mission, I really want to go all the way to Russia."

    This gentleman envoy regards this trip as a public trip.

    There was no threat from Xiao Yuzi, and everyone relaxed a lot and arrived at the territory of the Turghute Department smoothly.

    Here is the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, and there are many deserted areas, and the living environment of the Turghut Department is a bit harsh.

    Aqiyu returned to the tribe's camp and asked his mother, "Why haven't I seen many people in the tribe?"

    The mother replied: "Your grandfather and father went to war with soldiers."

    "Who are you fighting with?" Aqiyu asked.

    Mother said: "War with the Russians. ?

 Text 1011 [Volga and Don River Uprising]

    ,

    In the face of Chinese expansion in Siberia, Russia has no way to organize.

    ? To send two or three hundred regular troops to station in Yeniseysk is already the limit of Tsarist Russia's force projection.  In order to compromise with the aristocratic landlords, the tsar was unable to open up immigration, and could only rely on the peasants to escape by themselves.

    At the same time, the news that the Cossacks were defeated by China one after another had spread to all parts of Tsarist Russia.  The Chinese were described as man-eating demons, and also good at witchcraft, flying into the sky and throwing flower bombs, even the most heroic Cossacks could not resist.

    Fear was spreading. The serfs fled and became Cossacks. They dared not run to Central Siberia, but headed towards the upper reaches of the Volga River.

    At the same time, Tsarist Russia's losses in the Far East urgently need to be recovered through other means.  As a result, the living environment of serfs and Cossacks became more and more difficult. Coupled with the issuance of copper coins by the tsar, uprisings broke out everywhere in cities and villages.

    The more uprisings there are, the more taxes will be raised to counter the rebellion!

    The Racine peasant uprising broke out two years earlier.

    ? Stepan Razin came from a wealthy Cossack family. He once served as the leader of the Cossack army and negotiated with the Tsar on behalf of the Don Cossacks.

    &amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;&lt;a href=&quot;<a href="http://m.yawenku.com&amp;quot;&quot;" target="_blank">http://m.  yawenku.com&amp;quot;&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;<a href="http://m.yawenku.com&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;" target="_blank">http  ://m.yawenku.com&amp;quot;&lt;/a&gt;</a> id=&amp;quot;wzsy&amp;quot;&amp;gt;yawenku.com

    Four years ago, Racine formed an alliance with the Torghuts again, and the two sides agreed to jointly deal with the Crimean Mongols and the Nogai people.  Immediately afterwards, he led the Cossack army, united with the Torghut Ministry, and went on an expedition against the Crimea and Ottomans and won.

    Tsarist Russia's exploitation of the people at the bottom caused a large number of serfs to flee to the Don River, and the strength of the Don Cossacks expanded rapidly.

    Following the escaped serfs, there was also an army of Tsarist Russian nobles.  They arrested Cossacks everywhere, and when they caught them, they said they were fugitive slaves, and occupied the land reclaimed by the Cossacks.  Even those wealthy Cossack families who had reproduced for two or three generations were denounced as serfs and arrested.

    ? Stepan Razin couldn't take it anymore, and finally led the people to revolt!

    Not only did he rise up by himself, but he also contacted the Turghut tribe on the east bank of the lower Volga River and the Bashkirs in the middle Volga River.

    The Bashkirs live between the middle reaches of the Volga River and the rest of the Ural Mountains.  As early as more than a hundred years ago, it had accepted the rule of Tsarist Russia, and an uprising broke out every thirty years.  It is equivalent to saying that the previous generation was suppressed, and the next generation continued to revolt when they grew up, because they could not survive without rebellion.

    Racine led the Don Cossacks to march eastward and joined forces with the Torghut Ministry in Astrakhan.

    Astrakhan, located at the mouth of the Volga River into the Caspian Sea, is an important military town and a trade town.  The city has no bastion, but it is a fortress in itself, with seven strong towers.

    Racine came from the west, and the Torghut troops came from the east, and surrounded the Tsarist Russian fortress.

    All the serfs in the countryside around the city were released as free citizens.  The houses of the landlords were burned down, and the landlords who ran slowly were all beheaded without discussion.

    "If you can't fight, what should you do?" Racine asked.

    Shu Kurdaiqing said: "Besiege the city and fight for aid, the enemy of Tsaritsyn (Volgograd) may come to rescue."

    ? Shukur Daiqing is the leader of the Torghut Tribe and the grandfather of Ayuqi.

    Racine shook his head and said: "The Bashkirs are revolting further upstream, and the enemies of Tsaritsyn are too busy to take care of themselves, and will not send troops to rescue here."

    The uprising coalition forces besieged the city for many days and organized several attacks, but they were all stopped by the strong fortress.

    At this moment, the Bashkir rebel army, unable to conquer Tsaritsyn, also ran south to join forces here.

    The three teams got together, and the style of painting was extremely weird.

    The Don Cossacks led by Racine were all Orthodox Slavs.

    The troops led by Shukur Daiqing were all Oara Mongols who believed in Buddhism—not only the Turghut tribe, but also a small number of Durbert tribes and Heshuote tribes who moved westward together.

    And the Bashkir rebels are all Turkic people who believe in the Green religion.

    ?The three races, the three major beliefs, under the oppression of Tsarist Russia, realized the great unity of nationalities and religions.

    But it was useless. Facing the strong fortress, they could only stand there and watch.  Among the three teams, only the Don Cossacks had more than a dozen small cannons.?His own father and son reacted instantly, and each drew their knives and slashed at the relatives of the deceased.

    Shuku Erdaiqing hacked and killed two people, and said to his children and grandchildren while cutting: "Pengchuke, you lead your troops to the camp of Duerbert's department. Ayuqi, you lead your troops to the camp of Heshuote's department. Don't leave it to  Before they can react, all disobedient leaders will be killed!"

    In a surprise attack and scuffle, more than two hundred people were killed.

    This farce finally came to an end, and Oirat Mongolia officially established a country on the banks of the Volga River and the Caspian Sea.  On the Chinese side, the leader is called King Turghut, and they themselves are called Great Khan.

    Xie Yuan and others were invited to inspect the Russian castle, but they were speechless on the spot.

    This city, originally the Great Khan's Palace of the Golden Horde, came here every autumn to play.  At the same time, it is also the commercial center node for Indian and Persian goods, which are transported to Moscow.

    Russia occupied the city for a hundred years, and built a fortress across the river from the city, and it was called the Kremlin (meaning a tall and strong fortress).

    There are only a few hundred troops stationed in the fortress, but they are enough to withstand any enemy.

    There are not many Slavic immigrants. Merchants and citizens live in the city on the opposite bank, which was robbed by the rebels a few days ago.

    In the suburban areas, there are a small number of large landlords.  Some were Russian landowners, some were local landowners, but they all practiced serfdom, and all the landowners who did not have time to escape were killed.

    "Do you have a way to fight it down?" Xie Yuan asked the cavalry general Sun Ruotao.

    Sun Ruotao shook his head: "We have to besiege the city until the city runs out of food. Unless we use heavy artillery to bombard the city wall."

    Shuku Erdaiqing gritted his teeth and said, "Then surround yourself with death!"

    Anyway, there were two other rebel armies. Even if the tsar sent troops to quell the rebellion, the two friendly armies would last for a year or so. Such a long time would be enough to starve the enemies in the city to death.

    ,

    Stepan Razin is no stranger to China, and most of the information he heard was from Turghuts.

    This guy once lived in the Torghut Ministry for two years and served as the resident diplomatic representative of the Don Cossacks.  He also stayed away from the Don River and worked as a water bandit on the Volga River for several years, collecting protection fees from merchant ships passing along the way.

    "Dear Khitan envoy, please convey my respect to the Khitan emperor." Racine bowed and saluted. He spoke Mongolian fluently.

    Xie Yuan smiled and said, "Hello, heroic rebel."

    Racine asked curiously: "You are a Khitan envoy, so you must be from a noble family. Shouldn't the nobles hate rebels like me? Why do you call me a heroic rebel?"

    Xie Yuan suddenly looked serious, bowed to the east, then turned and said, "Because His Majesty the Emperor of our country is also a heroic rebel. He was a slave oppressed by the nobles, and brought more slaves and poor people to overthrow the brutal emperor."  rule. In China today, no poor people are oppressed anymore, because the emperor treats all people equally.”

    "Emperor Khitan used to be a slave?" Racine was very surprised.

    Xie Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, His Majesty the Emperor of China used to be a slave. Many Chinese officials were slaves and poor people. They rebelled with His Majesty and created a new dynasty. I heard that you have to ask  March in Moscow, and then get the tsar to improve his policy on the poor. With all due respect, you can't succeed."

    "Why is it impossible to succeed?" Racine asked.

    Xie Yuan said: "Because the tsar and the nobles are one, he will only speak for the nobles. Even if he agrees to you, he will definitely regret it, and then mobilize the army to destroy you."

    Racine said: "I believe His Majesty the Tsar is merciful."

    Racine himself did not believe such nonsense.

    He was purely consoling himself, because for the Cossacks the Tsar was invincible.  Even if they revolted, they could only run around and force the tsar to change his decree by causing losses to Russia.

    Xie Yuan asked: "Are you literate?"

    "I have studied for several years." Racine's parents were wealthy Cossacks, but the family property was taken over by the nobles.

    Xie Yuan took out a special Russian version of "Da Tong Ji", which has been translated into many languages ??thanks to the efforts of Honglu Temple and missionaries.  He handed it to Racine and said, "This is a book written by His Majesty the Emperor himself. It tells how to revolt and govern the country."

    Racine took it over and took a look, only to see that the title of the book was "The Khitan Emperor Leads the Poor Uprising and the Theory of State Construction".

    The Russian translation is more straightforward and removes traditional ideas unique to China.

    The first chapter is the theory of personality, explaining that everyone is equal under the gods, and no one should be oppressed by nature.

    The second chapter is the Sanyuan Chapter, explaining that the people are the masters of the country, and the monarchs, nobles and officials are only managing the country on behalf of the people.

    ?The third chapter is the theory of land equalization, explaining that land is bestowed by the gods and should not be monopolized by big landlords.  All the land of the big landlords came by bloody means.  Only small landlords and self-cultivating farmers earn their income by reclaiming wasteland through hard work.

    Chapter Four……

    Racine led the uprising troops and went up the Volga River.

    Sitting in the Cossack boat, Racine began to read the Russian version of "Da Tong Ji".

    The first chapter gave him a strong impact, but at the same time made him empathize, because this theory fits the Cossack very well.

    After reading the second chapter, Racine felt enlightened.

    The content of the third chapter, Racine suddenly wanted to cry when he saw it.  Cossacks were not born robbers. His grandparents belonged to fugitive slaves. They fled to the Don River Basin and worked hard to cultivate them. It was entirely through hard work that they got rich.  But the damned aristocrat came and took over his family's property and business, so he could only bring a group of people to be robbers.

    Tsarist Russian nobles are constantly encroaching on the Don River Basin and continuously compressing the living space of the Cossacks.

    This book is just a pamphlet, which can be read in half a day.

    At the end of the book is "Brief Biography of the Great Khitan Emperor".  It tells how miserable the Khitan emperor was when he was a child, he was oppressed layer by layer, and finally led the poor and slaves to rebel, and finally established a happy country where everyone is equal.

    After Racine finished reading the book, his hands were shaking. Inspired by the deeds of the Khitan emperor, he felt that he could also overthrow the tsar and build a country.

    Having landed and plundered a small town, Racine called all the leaders of the rebel army, and also the leaders of the Bashkir uprising.

    He took the Russian version of "Datong Collection" and said: "In the far east, there is a powerful country called Khitan. How powerful is Khitan? Its capital isBut these guys, including Racine, lack a clear rebellion program.  They still had illusions about the tsar, they just wanted to go to Moscow, force the tsar to appease themselves, and then get a piece of land to live on.  This kind of thing often happened in Russia, and many Cossacks were ordered to peace, because the tsar was unable to suppress the rebellion.

    However, it is absolutely impossible for Racine to be punished.

    Because the direct cause of this uprising was that he robbed the official ship of the Tsarist Ministry of Finance!  Along with the official ship, there were also fleets of great nobles and wealthy merchants, which aroused the anger of the Moscow nobles.

    After advancing for more than a hundred miles to Moscow, Racine finally met the troops sent by the Tsar.

    The main shooting army is all some kind of stuff.

    The real main force is the noble army and Cossacks.  The Cossacks are also divided into many forces, some of whom are willing to serve as lackeys for the nobles.

    ? A battle broke out on the riverside between the two sides. The official army had better weapons, but the morale of the rebel army was high.  The rebel army only killed or wounded hundreds of people, defeated the official army, and continued marching all the way.

    But when he was hundreds of miles away from Moscow, Racine became timid again.

    He was still afraid of the Tsar and knew that Moscow would not be defeated.  The group of political prisoners who took refuge in Racine also began to act speculatively weak, encouraging Racine to change direction and plunder.  As long as more cities and towns can be destroyed and more big landlords plundered, huge losses can be caused to Tsarist Russia, and the tsar can also be forced to come to Zhao'an.

    Ever since, Racine really changed the direction of the march and fought all the way along the river.  Moreover, he couldn't afford to support so many soldiers by plundering. When he met a new serf who had come to join him, he just gave him some money and food, and then he robbed the nobles and rich people everywhere.

    The Tsar finally had time to summon more troops and sent tens of thousands of troops to suppress.

    Racine made a foolish move again. He divided the army into ten and looted in all directions.  It can not only make it difficult for the tsar's army to pursue, but also cause a larger area of ??damage, forcing the tsar to carry out Zhao'an.

    I read that "Da Tong Ji" for nothing

    However, as the Racine uprising army swept across the country, the ideas in "Datong Ji" spread.

    In particular, a few political prisoners copied some secretly and carried them with them during their escape, which is equivalent to preserving the seeds of revolutionary ideas.

    Just as Racine was running around, the strong fortress was knocked down by the Torghut troops.

    To be precise, it was not defeated, but the defenders themselves rebelled.

    Racine also encountered many such situations. There were many fortified cities along the way. As soon as the rebels arrived, the city gates opened wide, and the defenders directly joined the uprising team.

 Text 1013 [Tsarist Russian Military Household]

    ,

    Astrakhan is known as Moscow's "Window to the East".

    Goods from Moscow can be quickly transported here through the Volga River and its tributaries.  Then, across the Caspian Sea is Persia.  Similarly, goods from Persia can also be transported to Moscow very conveniently through this trade route.

    Alexei was a soldier in this city, and his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had always been soldiers here.

    His great-grandfather even participated in the construction of the fort here.

    More than a hundred years ago, Yin Fan IV founded the Shooting Army, bypassing the traditional aristocrats and recruiting free people to train musketeers.  His great-grandfather was one of them. At that time, he was invincible in the Volga River Basin. No matter which enemy saw the shooting army, he was terrified.

    Today, Alexei is still a shooting army, and he must be, and his children and grandchildren must be.

    Due to being stationed at the border, Alexei at least has muskets, and many shooting troops in the interior don't even have muskets.

    There are more than 20,000 shooting troops in Moscow, a large part of which are acting as police and firefighters.  Especially firefighters, they can only receive rations, and their weapons are just a few buckets, and they usually have no salary to get.  More than ten years ago, shooting troops across the country had to pay taxes, no matter what they did, they had to pay poll taxes.

    After Alexei I came to power, the shooting army finally didn't need to pay for their work, but it was that's all.

    There are three hundred standing border guards in the fortress, and that is the real son of the Tsar.  There is military pay, good food, no need to work, just fight.

    And a shooting army like Alexis, to put it bluntly, is similar to a Ming military household.  When they meet a benevolent commander, they can still receive rations; when they meet a mean commander, they have to work to earn money to support their families.  And they also have to serve as free handymen in the fortress. They do all the hard work, and the reward is at most a meal.

    Alexei was very happy that the fortress was surrounded by rebels.

    Because as long as the enemy continues to besiege the city, they will not be afraid of starvation. In order to stabilize the morale of the army, the governor must take care of the shooting army.

    The governor's name is Yakov Bezobrazov, a great nobleman from Moscow.  This position was bought. After all, it is the Window to the East. Being a governor in Astrakhan is a lucrative job, and you can get a lot of lucrative money from passing business travelers.

    I am not afraid of war or anything. Although this is the border of Russia, Persia has not gone north for decades, and it is impossible for other forces to break through the fortress.

    Of the three insurgents, two have left.

    The remaining Mongols also had to work, and it was impossible for the army to besiege the city all the time. Only more than 2,000 horsemen remained on the east bank of the Volga River.

    Governor Yakov completely relaxed and resumed his days of debauchery.

    Alexei became sad. How much he wished that the fortress would always be surrounded by enemy troops, and he could barely eat enough every day.

    Why didn't the enemy continue to besiege the city?

    On this day, Alexei was called to work, and the object of his service was an officer of the standing army.  These standing armies, like his great-grandfather, were also freemen conscripted by the Tsar, but now they could drive him as a slave.

    Racine's small cannon smashed a hole in the roof of the officer's house, and the tables, chairs and benches were also smashed.

    Several shooting troops were called to repair the house for free and clean up the messy house.  Alexei was whipped several times by the officer because he worked slowly, and he didn't even eat a bite from morning to night.

    When he returned home hungry, his wife and children were counting on him.

    He originally had four sons and three daughters, but three died of hunger and disease.  In the past, they could go to work in the bazaar (big bazaar) on the other side of the fortress, and the salary of the husband and wife was barely enough to support the family.  But the bazaar was looted by the rebels, many wealthy merchants were killed, and the people at the bottom rebelled northward with Racine.

    In this case, Alexei could not find a job and completely lost his source of income.

    A few days later, the whole family was so hungry that even the table was ground into powder, and bread was made with the little flour left.  Alexei looked for people to borrow money and food everywhere, but his friends were all shooting soldiers. Who in the bitter family has surplus food?

    Going home again, his wife was crying, but his youngest son died, whether it was from illness or starvation, he didn't know.

    At night, a friend from the shooting army came to visit, and Alexei's family was curled up on the bed to endure hunger.

    "Egor, why are you here?" Alexei asked.

    Yegor said: "There are more than 200 shooting troops, all of them have run out of food at home. We have already discussed that tomorrow we will collectively go to the governor to borrow food, otherwise we will all starve to death. The governor doesn't want to see this happen, right?  .are you going?"

    Alexei said: "Of course I'm going, I have no food at home.?If we can fight, the Tatars will be willing to take us in.  "

    Alexei exclaimed: "But the Tatars are heretics!"

    Nikita said: "Heretics can give us food, and the governor will only borrow a little food each time. He hangs us to prevent us from starving to death, and will not let us have enough food, let alone the life and death of our family members."

    Yegor said: "Can you guarantee that the pagans will really take us in?"

    Nikita said: "You can send someone to contact first. I am a low-level officer in the shooting army. I can't leave for too long at will. Who of you would like to help me take a trip to contact the Tatars in the east?"

    &amp;lt;a Reading at zero o'clock

    Yegor hesitated.

    Alexei gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go, but you have to take care of my family!"

    Nikita said: "I still have a little bread at home, and your family is my family."

    "I'm not going back to the fortress today, but I'll stay in the Grand Bazaar in the city," Alexei said. "When it gets dark, I'll go quietly to the east to find the Tatars.?

 Text 1014【Close the window】

    ,

    Alexei has night blindness and cannot see clearly at night.

    He walked from the Grand Bazaar in the city to the river, swam quietly across the Volga, and walked a long way around the fortress.

    You don’t need eyes in the dark, you just run to the east anyway, that’s all the territory of the Huerhut Department.  Historically, when the Turghuts returned to the east, they occupied even the west bank of the Volga River, and the fortresses and cities of Tsarist Russia were surrounded by the grasslands of the Turghuts.

    I don't know how long he walked, Alexei was out of breath, and his malnourished body could no longer support him.

    He couldn't see what was going on around him at all, so he could only shout at the top of his voice, "Is there anyone? Is there anyone?"

    While shouting and walking, a herdsman finally heard him, rushed out of the tent and caught him.

    The two sides cannot communicate, and ordinary herdsmen cannot speak Russian.

    In the morning of the next day, Alexei was taken to the leader, who in turn took him to the king.

    Xie Yuan originally planned to visit the Khiva Khanate on the way, but before he set off, he heard that Russians had defected.  After a brief understanding of the situation, Xie Yuan asked, "Why does the shooting army in the castle want to join us?"

    Alexei said: "We are starving to death. In the past half a month, I have starved to death a son and a daughter."

    Xie Yuan asked suspiciously: "Is there a shortage of food in the castle?"

    Alexei replied: "The governor is not short of food, but our shooting army is short of food."

    Xie Yuan was even more confused when he heard this: "Aren't you soldiers? The governor doesn't pay you?"

    Alexei said: "We are the shooting army, we are born. My father is, so am I, and my son is still. When there is a war, we take up arms. When there is no war, we look for work to support our family,  Take care of the lord's errands. Some time ago, the city was sacked, and now we can't find work."

    Xie Yuan suddenly realized that the person in front of him was a Tsarist Russian military household.

    "How many people like you are there?" Xie Yuan asked.

    Alexei said: "There are more than two hundred."

    Xie Yuan asked again: "I usually live in the castle."

    Alexei nodded: "They all live in the castle."

    Xie Yuan asked again: "Do they all have muskets? How much ammunition are there?"

    Alexei said: "Some of them don't have muskets anymore. They don't have much ammunition. We usually don't have any ammunition. They were issued during the defense of the city some time ago."

    "How many other defenders are there?" Xie Yuan continued to ask.

    Alexei said: "There are 300 border guards, and there are more than 20 followers of the governor. These soldiers are different from us. They can have enough food."

    Xie Yuan turned around and said in Mongolian: "His Royal Highness, you must have a capital to build a country. I think Astrakhan is suitable for the capital."

    Shuku Erdaiqing was moved by hearing this, but hesitated and asked: "Could this person be a false surrender?"

    "That depends on whether you dare to gamble." Xie Yuan said.

    Ayuqi said, "Grandpa, you can take a gamble."

    Astrakhan is not only a fortress, but the city on the other side of the river is also a trade center on the Caspian Sea.  Occupying here would cut off the trade between Tsarist Russia and Persia, and if you want to do business, you must pay taxes to the Turghut Kingdom honestly.

    Tsarist Russia will not let go of such an important city, and is very likely to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, or even more than 100,000 troops to attack.

    Opportunities and dangers coexist, and it depends on whether the Turghuts can bear them.

    Shukur Daiqing was still hesitating, and he said truthfully: "The Russians we have dealt with can have hundreds of thousands of troops. If they occupy the city, they will face endless attacks. If the tsar sends  With an army of 100,000 to 200,000, how can we hold it?"

    Xie Yuan sneered: "You don't eat the meat you want, and you don't dare to occupy the city next to your pasture, so why do you still stay here? Let's go east as soon as possible, otherwise the Russians by the river will be more and more  The more you have, the more you won’t even be able to keep the pasture in a few decades.”

    This is getting to the bottom of it. If you don’t occupy the castle at this time, you will never think about it in the future.

    Just like another time and space, the grasslands of the Torghut Department spread all over the lower reaches of the Volga River.  But the Tsarist Russian castle stands by the river, like a nail in the heart of the Mongols. The Mongols can only submit to the Tsar and face endless military service.

    The tsar did not collect taxes from them, but conscripted troops every now and then.  Sometimes one or two thousand, sometimes three or five thousand, the Mongols were drawn to fight, and the casualty rate was generally around 20%.

    ? If you win the battle, you will not get any benefits, and if you lose the battle, you will suffer heavy losses. The population of the Huerhut Department has continued to decline.

    "I'll give you an idea,"Immediately squeezed his throat and changed his voice and shouted: "Kill the governor!"

    "Kill the governor!" The shooting soldiers shouted, thinking that Yakov was also an accomplice.

    Yakov mixed with these shooting troops and rushed to the governor's mansion to kill himself.  He was blind and couldn't see his clothes and appearance clearly. He deliberately slowed down and waited for the shooting soldiers to run away before turning around and fleeing in another direction.

    His family is in Moscow, where there are only mistresses and illegitimate children, and it doesn't matter if they are killed by the shooting army.

    This guy really ran away in the chaos, and fled all the way north to Tsaritsin, scaring the governor of Tsaritsin very much.

    The uprising in the north has not yet subsided, and the Tsar temporarily ignored it.  When the uprising was pacified, the tsar's food and grass were almost exhausted, and it was estimated that it would take another three to five years before he could gather tens of thousands of troops to conquer Turghut.

    An army of tens of thousands is already the limit.

    After all, Tsarist Russia is at war with Poland and Ottomans at the same time, and is even at war with China in the Far East.

    Astrakhan was occupied by the Mongols, which was equivalent to stabbing Tsarist Russia economically, and the already difficult Tsarist Russia's finances were bound to get worse.

    Moscow's Window to the East is closed.

 Text 1015 [Wenqing Khan]

    ,

    Khwarizim is not only the name of a city, but also the collective name of a large oasis.

    When the overland Silk Road flourished, whoever could occupy this place would rule the world.  Because Chinese goods came from Chang'an, all the way through various states in Central Asia, and eventually must be transported from Khwarazm to Persia.

    But with the advent of the age of great navigation, Khwarazimo inevitably declined.

    The capital of the Khiva Khanate is Khwarizm, and King Anusha has only been on the throne for two years.  The century-long war has made the country weak and the people poor. Although his father unified the country, he failed to restore the people's livelihood and economy.

    Not only is it poor, but there are not many literate people.

    Both father and son attached great importance to culture. Anusha's father, Abhazi, wanted to write the history of the Khiva Khanate's dynasty.  However, after searching all over the country, he was the only one who could take on this important task. The old king had no choice but to write history himself.

    That history book is called "Turkic Lineage", which is a must-read book for studying the Genghis Khan family.

    "Khan, there is a Chinese envoy coming to visit, and it is only a hundred miles away from the capital." The court minister reported.

    "Chinese envoy?"

    Anusha was very pleasantly surprised. His country was next to Persia, and his father had a good relationship with Persia.  When he was a prince, he often bought Persian books to read, and he also liked to inquire about Persian news from passing businessmen.

    Anusha learned from the Persian merchants that there is a China in the far east, which is the starting point of the Silk Road.

    There was a great emperor in China who kept correspondence with the Persian emperor all the year round.

    There are several poems written by the Persian emperor praising the Chinese emperor. Anusha would have recited them a long time ago. He wanted to get in touch with the Chinese emperor even in his dreams.

    When Xie Yuan led the Chinese envoys across the desert to Khwarazmo, King Anusha had already led his ministers to wait outside the city.

    As if it was a festival, Anusha asked all subjects to wear the best clothes.

    Literate ministers surrounded him, and those who could not read stood farther away.  He tried his best to make his country appear rich and cultured, so as not to make the Chinese envoys feel too shabby.

    "Respected Chinese envoys, welcome to come from afar." Anusha personally stepped forward to greet him. In order to show his knowledge, he used very pure Persian language.

    It just so happens that Xie Yuan can also speak Persian, which he learned from the Persian envoy.

    Xie Yuan bowed his hands and said: "Chinese envoy Xie Yuan, pay homage to Khan."

    Anusha said: "It's a great pleasure to meet you. Please send my regards to the great Chinese emperor."

    Xie Yuan said: "I must convey Khan's kindness."

    Anusha said: "All envoys are invited to enter the city."

    Xie Yuan introduced as he walked: "This is Ayuqi, the prince of the Torghut Khanate."

    "Have the Torghuts established a country?" Anusha also knew the Turghuts.  In the past few years, his father expanded wildly and swallowed up a large area of ??Xiaoyuzi's territory, which was almost on the border with the Turghut Ministry.

    Xie Yuan explained: "The Turghuts came from China, and His Majesty the Emperor has canonized their leader as king. The brave Turghut soldiers captured Astrakhan last month and established the country with their capital there.  "

    Astrakhan was occupied by the Mongols?

    Anusha is very envious of this. His country is on the east coast of the Caspian Sea, and Astrakhan is on the north shore of the Caspian Sea. Of course he knows how rich that city is.

    Ayuqi greeted in Mongolian: "I have seen Khan!"

    Anusha also responded in Mongolian: "You are so brave that you were able to drive away the Russians."

    Anusha has little contact with Russia, neither does she like it, nor does she hate it.  Of course he didn't know that in another time and space, he defeated Peter the Great's expeditionary army with the power of the whole country.

    &amp;lt;a

    Everyone came to the palace, which was very dilapidated.

    One wall was probably collapsed. Although it has been repaired, traces of repair can be seen. The king didn't even have the financial resources to decorate the outer wall.

    The banquet has been prepared for many days, but it is only lively, and the food is not rich, only bread, wine and roasted whole lamb.

    Anusha and Xie Yuan sat opposite each other on both sides of the carpet, with their subordinates sitting behind them.  In front of the carpet is a cabaret performance, with musicians on both sides accompaniment to the dancers, playing many unnamed Persian instruments.

    "Is there really a million people in Nanjing?" Anusha asked curiously.

    Xie Yuan replied: "There are 1.2 million people inside and outside the city."

    "It's really the greatest city in the world," Anusha said with yearningThat is to say, he stood up solemnly, took the history book and put it away carefully, this thing is very precious.

    Talking freely about the history of China and the Mongols lasted for more than ten days.

    Xie Yuan wanted to talk about the Torghut Ministry many times, but Anusha intentionally or unintentionally distracted him.

    Obviously, Anusha did not want to get involved in the disputes on the northern shore of the Caspian Sea, he only planned to develop and expand on the eastern shore of the Caspian Sea.

    After this meaning was revealed, Xie Yuan didn't say any more, as long as the two countries don't go to war, the threat to the southeast of the Torghut Kingdom can be lifted.

    ? When Xie Yuan bid farewell again, Anusha continued to persuade him to stay, and began to consult China's political ecology.  For example, the structure of national departments, such as the development of the imperial examination system, although it is of no use to the Khiva Khanate, the political framework can be used as a reference.

    Xie Yuan has experienced so many countries along the way, and Anusha in front of him is willing to ask such profound questions.

    After staying in Khwarazmo for a full month and a half, the Chinese diplomatic mission finally left.  Instead of going back the same way, but going south to Persia, you can take a merchant ship to return home by sea.

 Text 1016【News from Madagascar】

    ,

    The envoys came to the border of Persia and were warmly welcomed by the governor along the way.

    But after arriving in the capital of Persia, the situation changed a bit.  The nobles and officials were still very enthusiastic, but they never saw the Persian emperor. The new emperor was a drunkard, drunk all day long.

    Anyone who wants to see the emperor has to pass through the eunuch.

    Xie Yuan had no choice but to visit the eunuchs first, but the reply he got was that if he wanted to see the emperor, he could but he had to bribe the eunuchs first, and the money was too little.

    Xie Yuan turned around and looked at Deputy Envoy Pang Anguo: "We came to Persia? Why do I feel like I'm back in Daming?"

    Pang Anguo said: "It is still the Daming of the Zhengde and Wanli dynasties."

    "Let's go, there's no need to meet. Within ten years, Persia will definitely decline." Xie Yuan sneered.

    It's not just a decline, even the Turghut tribe went to Persia to rob it, and the huge Persian Empire lost its temper.

    The great nobles of Persia are very satisfied with Emperor Jiumengzi.  The centralization of power by the previous two emperors caused great headaches for the nobles, and now they just regained their former privileges. They wished that the new emperor would never show up.

    The envoys came all the way to the Persian Gulf, and after waiting for two full months, finally a Persian merchant ship headed to Southeast Asia.

    Still have to talk about the price, the boat ticket is very expensive, the envoy has more than 2,000 horses and hundreds of camels.

    Hundreds of camels were all sold, as were the horses used to carry the armor, and only the best horses were left to be shipped back with the ship.

    Just when they were about to board the ship, the Persian merchants brought a few "natives".

    One of the "natives" asked: "But the messenger of the Celestial Dynasty?"

    "Are you Chinese?" Xie Yuan asked doubtfully.

    This person has a Han face, but the clothes he wearswell, they are also Han clothes, but I always feel that they are a bit nondescript.

    Hearing the familiar Chinese, the man suddenly burst into tears. After crying for a long time, he finally said, "Angel, we are naval soldiers living on a deserted island, and we have lived on the island for more than ten years!"

    "More than ten years?" Xie Yuan immediately came to his senses, "Are you the first batch of envoys to Europe?"

    The man nodded hastily: "We encountered a storm, and more than a hundred people were stranded on a deserted island. There are also a few boatmen, but it is okay for them to repair the ship, but it is very difficult to build a ship by ourselves. After more than ten years of construction, we finally made it."  A small sailing boat. Governor Brother Deng proclaimed himself the governor, and he asked me to take people across the sea. Fortunately, we soon saw land in the west, and we followed the shore to the north, and encountered the Omani harbor castle. Oman  They sent us to Persia, saying that we could return home on a Persian merchant ship."

    Xie Yuan was not in a hurry to go back, and hurriedly asked: "How big is that island?"

    "It's very big, probably as big as several Qiongzhous (Hainan Island)," the man said, "We have already occupied the west coast of the island, and are conquering the indigenous countries in the middle of the island."

    Xie Yuan was dumbfounded. There are several Qiongzhou-sized islands, and more than a hundred Chinese are still expanding?

    In fact, the area of ??Madagascar is larger than 17 Hainan Islands.

    Xie Yuan immediately ran to find the local governor, contacted the Persian merchant through the governor, and got a few boats from the merchant to go south.

    All expenses will be paid in advance by the governor, and the reward is that a batch of goods exclusive to the governor will be shipped and placed in Chittagong for Persian merchants to pick up.  They must be rare and good products, such as brocade, imitation Ru porcelain, top-quality tea, etc., which ordinary merchants cannot buy with money.

    Xie Yuan went to visit the King of Oman first. The King of Oman was very generous and sent two warships to escort them south.

    By the way, there is a prince of Oman who is still studying in Nanjing at this time.

    Finally arrived in Madagascar, the original "Boyina City" was changed to "Wangxiang City" by the Chinese.

    Among the mixed-race children born between Chinese and indigenous women, the oldest ones are fourteen or fifteen years old.  There are also some teenagers between the ages of 16 and 20, who were the first indigenous children captured or rescued by the Chinese. They have learned to speak and write Chinese characters since they were young.  distinguish.

    In the complex river network around Wangxiang City, rice is planted everywhere, and many drinking water irrigation canals have been dug.

    There are many "mansions" around the city, all of which are the houses of big Chinese landlords.  The shape of the house is also Chinese. At first glance, it looks like a village in southern China.

    Governor Deng Youzhang led dozens of people out of the city to greet them. When they saw the envoys, they also burst into tears.

    "Boss Deng, you are tired." Xie Yuan said with emotion.

    Deng Youzhang quickly said: "I'm not tired, it's good to meet Chinese people. We didn't expect to be able to return to China, so we just wanted to know how our family? His eyes widened.

    Deng Youzhang nodded and said, "Now we can only pan for gold sand. Mercury is needed to refine gold, and there is no mercury on the island. I also discovered iron ore, and I can already make swords by myself. Many indigenous people still use copper weapons, and iron swords  conquer them."

    Xie Yuan said: "After I return to the country, I will clarify the details to Your Majesty. Your Majesty should formally appoint you as the governor, and then send you mercury and supplies. You are responsible for exchanging them with gold. Of course, the mined gold will belong to you.  That’s up to His Majesty and the cabinet to decide.”

    "Everything depends on the angel!" Deng Youzhang was willing to distribute the gold to the court, because he could not get mercury, so he could only pan for some alluvial gold.

    Moreover, with the materials sent by China, they have cotton clothes to wear and a steady stream of ammunition, which can conquer the tribes on the island more quickly.

 Text 1017 [The motherland is China]

    ,

    "These are all the gold dust you panned for?" Xie Yuan's eyes lit up.

    Deng Youzhang said: "Arranged 30 indigenous people to squat in the river day and night to pan for gold, and they can pan for more than 80 catties of gold sand every year. There are also people who have picked up dog's head gold in the river. Most of the upstream mountains have gold mines. But we people,  I don’t even know how to search for mines, so I have to send a teacher from China to find mines.”

    In fact, there are two larger gold mines in Deng Youzhang's territory, and the other one has not been discovered.

    And the place where they panned for gold sand was near the original settlement, only a few kilometers away from the village.  And where they are about to attack, there is also a large gold mine, which is also the first gold mine discovered in history. Only panning for gold sand can pan over a thousand catties a year.

    More gold mines on the island are mainly distributed in the east, which is not Deng Youzhang's territory.

    Let's put it this way, after Madagascar's independence, using the most primitive gold mining method, the annual gold output was five tons-this is what was left by the French colonists.

    Xie Yuan said: "You make a list of the Chinese people who have drifted to the island, and write down the address of their hometown. Your family members have all received pensions, and the money will not be recovered. Give me the gold  Afterwards, each of your family members will get fifty taels, and the rest will be confiscated. I will not take your gold, muskets, and war horses for nothing.”

    "It's a good feeling, there is a shortage of war horses on the island!" Deng Youzhang was overjoyed.

    Xie Yuan reminded: "All the stallions in the army have already gelled. On the way back, I will help you contact the King of Oman and ask him to send ships to trade regularly. You can buy some stallions to breed with him in exchange for gold.  Cavalry officers and veterinarians of the mission, I will leave you a few. You learn to ride and raise horses as soon as possible, and you will have to rely on yourself in the future.”

    To be honest, the Chinese court is not very enthusiastic about overseas gold and silver mines.

    Gold and silver mines were found in both Luzon Island and Borneo, and Zhao Han sent mining experts to go around.  Since it was not a rich mine, the imperial court was too lazy to interfere, and only sent officials to manage and collect taxes. The gold and silver in the mine were open to immigrants, and the mine was purely regarded as a thing to attract immigrants.

    Of course, the prospecting team has not withdrawn, and is still looking for rich ore in overseas territories with high wages.

    And all kinds of poor mines in the country have been closed down one after another, and restored to cultivated land or mountain forests.  Unlike when the country was just founded, everything was lacking, and as long as there were mines, they were mined. No matter how small the legs of mosquitoes were, they were still meat.

    Seeing that the rainy season was approaching, Xie Yuan didn't stay any longer. When Deng Youzhang took out the list, he threw down some supplies and left.

    There are 300 muskets left, some ammunition, and 200 horses.

    There is one bad thing about the island. Every Chinese New Year, it must be the rainy season.  There is no way to reunite and celebrate at all. Chinese people can only eat heartily at home, and the real festival will have to wait until summer.

    The twenty-four solar terms have also become a symbol, existing as a thought, completely unable to guide agricultural production.

    Deng Youzhang currently controls half of the land with a tropical plateau climate and half with a tropical grassland climate, which is not as uncomfortable as a tropical rainforest.  There are occasional tropical diseases, but only a few old brothers died, especially from May to October, which is very cool and dry.

    Cool and dry, it's a good time to fight!

    Generally, the rice is harvested before mid-May, and it will be delayed until late May at the latest.

    After obtaining the supplies, after a long rainy season, the rice was harvested and the army was ready to be dispatched.

    The targets they want to attack are one in the south and one in the north.

    The north is called Maeva Tanana, which belongs to the mountainous area, and there is a large gold mine. Of course, everyone does not know that there is gold, because even the indigenous people themselves do not know.  Attacking there is purely for expansion, and it is easy to march along the river valley.

    &amp;lt;a

    The south side is called Marulin Tower, which is located in the alluvial plain of the river. The area along the river is very suitable for farming, and the area a little farther away from the river is full of grasslands.

    The Northern Route Army was led by Li Luosheng, who was the county magistrate in the north. Deng Youzhang sent 100 cavalry with 100 muskets.  Although everyone has just learned how to ride a horse, it is enough to deal with the natives. After all, the aborigines on the island have never seen cavalry.

    The South Route Army was led by Deng Youzhang himself, with one hundred cavalry and more than two hundred musketeers, they were invincible on the island.

    Passing through the plateau and hilly area, the front is full of grasslands.

    There are also two Chinese city owners in the grassland area. They built the city by the river, and raised a large number of livestock while farming.  The main ones are hump cattle, which are the type of zebu in India.  They also raised some goats, but there are no sheep here, and Deng Youzhang plans to bring in some.

    The materials were pulled by bullock carts, and the indigenous army continued to join along the way.

    There must be enough troops,In the central plateau of the island, an indigenous country has been established.  Its capital, Antananarivo, has a population of nearly 50,000 including residents outside the city.  A capital with a population of 50,000 is enough to prove that the country is strong, and the handicraft industry is relatively developed.

    At that time, it will be a little interesting to fight with the indigenous countries.

    It's a pity that there is a mountain range between the two forces.  Deng Youzhang wanted to call there, either from the north or from the south. Counting the mountain roads in Qiqu District, the actual distance is equivalent to walking from Nanjing to Beijing.

    Take this city and conquer another territory.

    An old brother from China was appointed magistrate of this city, responsible for managing the surrounding tribes.

    It's really a system of enfeoffment, like Li Luosheng in the north, who already has the strength to expand on his own, and doesn't need Deng Youzhang's help at all.

    Even if the imperial court takes over the island in the future, these people will always be local clans, holding countless arable land and pastures.  And through marriage, they are inextricably linked with the indigenous tribes.

 Text 1018 ["Smart" King]

    ,

    In the territory occupied by Deng Youzhang, there are a total of five major rivers, and he occupies 60% of the main rivers of the whole island.

    But why did the aborigines establish a country in the central plateau?

    Because the precipitation in the central plateau is more uniform, and the western area occupied by Deng Youzhang, except for farming along the river, the rest is a tropical grassland with distinct rain and drought.

    In grassland areas, only grazing is allowed!

    Deng Youzhang's class teacher returned to Wangxiang City, and soon received a message from Li Luosheng from the north.  The messenger said: "Governor, Li Zhi County has conquered the Maevatanana tribe. According to the chief there, along the Bezibuka River, you can go directly to the capital of the country of Yinmailina, and the big city with tens of thousands of people was built.  By the river. By the way, Lizhi County thinks the name of the river is too awkward, so it will be renamed Beiqi River from now on."

    "Understood," Deng Youzhang said, "When you go back to report, ask Lizhi County to hold a meeting in Wangxiang City before the rainy season, and say that all the city lords will come."

    In fact, there is also a river that can go directly to the capital of Yinmailina, and it is just over the village where they originally lived.

    Deng Youzhang sent people to explore, and a small group of troops was able to pass along the river.  But it is troublesome to bring luggage, because there is a section of the river that is very turbulent, and both sides are full of cliffs, and you must use trackers to row upstream.  If it is too difficult for people to carry food, it is too difficult to walk across the mountains, and no one is willing to take risks.

    In the next two months, the city lords of the seven cities, as well as the left officials in the cities, returned to Wangxiang City one after another.

    Deng Youzhang said: "Brothers, you have all received my letter, which has already stated very clearly. The angel left in September last year, and the court estimates that it will send people next year. What do your majesty and ministers say?  We definitely can't figure it out. Maybe, I will be replaced as the governor directly."

    "Why should the country send someone to be the governor of the territory we have built so hard?" He Wenpeng sneered, "If the court changes the governor, I will be the first to stand up and oppose it!"

    Li Luosheng said: "It is absolutely unacceptable to openly disobey the emperor's order."

    He Wenpeng asked: "Can you bear it?"

    Li Luosheng laughed and said: "All the indigenous tribes have already married us, and the indigenous chiefs can only listen to us. How many people can the imperial court send? If the governor comes, it will be easy to make offerings. What should we do!"

    "That's right, that's how it should be!" Wang Yuan laughed.

    These guys are already discussing how to evacuate the governor.

    Deng Youzhang said with a smile on his face: "Everyone, don't think about things so badly. The imperial court may not send a governor. But, even if they don't send a governor, they may send someone to supervise. After all, we have gold mines here. Before the imperial court sends people  , we have to speed up the expansion of the site."

    &amp;lt;a

    Li Luosheng asked: "What Yin Mailina country do you want to destroy?"

    "Yes, after the rainy season next year, we will send troops to fight from your side," Deng Youzhang nodded, "I heard from the tribes who migrated here and there, there are countless people in the capital of Yinmailina. If there can support three to fifty thousand  People, it means that the farming conditions are better than ours, and then the capital will be moved directly No, the Governor's Mansion will be moved there."

    It is necessary to relocate the ruling center, otherwise it can only be settled in a corner.

    The city of Antananarivo is located on the central plateau of the whole island, where all the rivers originate.  Build the Governor's Mansion there, and as long as you can build strong inland ships, you can send troops along the river in all directions

    Antananarivo.

    The king's name is very long, and it's called Andrea Mavagina Valona.

    Compared with his subjects, the king's complexion is pale.  Because he is of Arabic descent, there are books in Arabic script in the palace, and they have even learned how to make paper.

    There are even black slaves in this country, who were transported by the Arabs to farm the land.

    As for when the Arabs came here, some say it was the ninth century AD, while others say it was the thirteenth century.

    But it's very interesting. They don't believe in religion, and they don't use Arabic in their daily communication.  Arabic and Arabic characters, as well as Arabic astrology, are only used during sacrifices, and civilians are not allowed to get involved, and they must be killed if they are found.

    The architecture of this country is more interesting. The houses built by the common people have a very obvious Southeast Asian style

    "Your Majesty, the outsiders from the west have occupied the Maevatanana tribe in the north." The minister brought news from the border.

    King the name is too long, and it is shortened to Andrea.  The king said disdainfully: "Outsiders are not scary. Decades ago, the Portuguese also landed in the east and built two fortresses. They were not the same as they were driven away by my grandfather."up?  Grandpa told my father, and my father told me that the firearms used by outsiders will fail in rainy days.  The God of Storms will bless us, as long as the enemy dares to come, we will fight in the rain!  "

    The minister hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Your Majesty is wise."

    King Andrea said: "Compared to outsiders, the domestic tribes are worrying. Why didn't the tributes of all the ministries be paid in full this year? I just increased the tributes a little bit."

    The minister said: "The tribute is still a bit too much, but it can be reduced a little."

    "It can't be lowered anymore, I'm already very merciful." Andrea said.

    The king extorted violently, and in another time and space, directly split the country into four small countries.  It was not until more than a hundred years later that his descendants reunited and began to engage in maritime trade with India.  Immediately afterwards, the son of the unifier expanded his influence to the whole island and established the Kingdom of Madagascar.

    Facing the expansion of the Chinese, the king didn't take it seriously at all. He felt that he was invincible—his world was the whole island.

    In fact, neither King Andrea nor the Chinese expanding to the west knew that there were other outsiders on the island.

    The French had already arrived, and they were earlier than the Chinese. They established Fort Dofan in the southeast, and continued to infiltrate and expand relying on the castle.  But the number of French people is very small, there are only a dozen permanent residents, and Fort Dofan is more like a supply station.

    French merchant ships dock here, waiting for the trade winds and ocean currents, and they can go straight to southern India.

    In the autumn of this year, a tribe in the south rebelled, and nearby tribes responded.

    King Andrea was furious, and gathered eight thousand troops to go to the conquest, and personally led the troops to kill them.  His elite troops have iron, not only copper as Deng Youzhang thought, and even this guy has a trebuchet unit.

    For the indigenous tribes, such a powerful army is simply irresistible.

    The tribes and nobles who led the uprising were slaughtered.  Ordinary people and the elderly are all killed, and young men, women and children are used as slaves.  Most of the other tribes who responded, the nobles were also killed, and then the food was robbed, and the common people probably starved to death.

    It is one of the most important grain-producing areas on the island!

    Another year later, before the officials sent by the imperial court arrived, Deng Youzhang led his army and set off.

    They crossed the northwest grasslands and came to Li Luosheng's Mazhenjia city to meet.  There are more than 300 musketeers, 200 cavalry (adopted cavalry), 150 infantry with cold weapons (adopted son corps), and more than 2,000 indigenous auxiliary soldiers.

    All the northern tribes of the Yinmailina country turned away. They had long been dissatisfied with the king's tyranny, and some even joined the Chinese army.

    King Andrea finally panicked and ordered all tribes to send troops.

    Although this guy is brutal, the majesty of the king is still there, and more than 7,000 tribal soldiers have been gathered one after another.  He also recruited soldiers in the capital, and with the addition of the army of his direct-administered area, he managed to gather more than 20,000 soldiers.

    Andrea said to the ministers and tribal leaders: "Don't panic, outsiders are afraid of rainy days, we just need to wait for the rain."

    Everyone is speechless, it rains in the dry season!

    Here is a tropical plateau climate, with very little rainfall in the dry season, and the temperature generally does not exceed 30 degrees. It is cool and dry, which is very suitable for war.

    Under the king's insistence, Yin Mailina's army did not take the initiative to attack, and never thought of setting up an ambush halfway.  They just stayed in the capital and waited stupidly, and asked the priests to pray for rain to give the Chinese army a hard job.

    The priest is also a wonderful person. He knows what the king is thinking, so he naturally speaks according to the king's heart.

    The priest used Arabic astrology to observe the sky at night, and used human animals to communicate with the gods, and then said to the king: "The gods came to bring enlightenment, and the king's army will definitely win."

    Andrea asked: "Will you win in the capital, or send troops to win on the road?"

    The priest was a little confused about what the king wanted to do, so he asked, "Does Your Majesty want to send troops?"

    Andrea said: "The chiefs of the various ministries have been arguing for the past few days, which has given me a headache. I want to take the initiative to lead the troops to the north. You can calculate the date and find out which day is the most suitable for the expedition."

    So the priest began divination again, and determined that it would be best to send troops seven days later.

    Neither the king nor the priest thought they would lose, because they had never encountered an opponent on the island.

    More than 20,000 indigenous soldiers marched towards the north in mighty force.

    The more than 7,000 tribal soldiers came with their own dry food.  They were heavily taxed by the king, and they were already in short supply of food, and they consumed a lot on the road and in the capital. They started to run out of food within two days of walking.

    King Andrea is very interesting. He thinks it is too wasteful to provide military rations for tribal soldiers.  But now that there is a war, it has to be given, so the minister who is proficient in mathematics is asked to calculate the rations of each soldier, and then provide food and grass according to the minimum standard.

    The minister in charge of distributing food, withholding food and grass behind the king's back, guessed that he would not starve to death.

    Before the war was fought, more than 7,000 tribal soldiers complained, and their morale plummeted after they were hungry and full.

    Andrea felt that he was very smart and could save a lot of food, so he ordered the promotion of this method.  He recruited many civilians as soldiers inside and outside the city, and the rations of those militiamen were also distributed according to the standards of tribal soldiers.

    The two armies met in a river valley. More than half of the soldiers of Yin Mailina's army were too hungry to move.It is too wasteful for soldiers to provide military rations.

    ,

    Deng Youzhang held up the binoculars and said to the generals around him: "The enemy's elite main forces are all gathered in the central army formation. The soldiers' weapons are spears, and those next to the commander are equipped with swords and shields. These elite formations are neat, and the rest of the troops  It's a mess, standing crooked in place."

    Xie Yuan left behind two pairs of binoculars, and He Wenpeng also observed: "It's still the old way, most of the enemy troops will be defeated in one blow."

    The two armies are about to fight, and Li Luosheng actually has the time to talk about administrative issues: "This country is very similar to our system, only the name is different. If it is defeated, it can quickly take over the rural tribes."

    The system of Yin Mailina is infinitely close to that of South India, which is what King Jin encountered.

    The land in the whole country is owned by the king, and it is cultivated collectively by the village community.  However, it still retains the shadow of tribal society. Many village communities are actually tribes, and the land is nominally owned by the king, but it is mainly the tribal chiefs who have the final say.

    More than 7,000 tribal soldiers, or village community soldiers, were half-starved and half-fed at this time, and were ordered by the king to move forward in batches.

    They are wearing linen busts, which are in the Southeast Asian style, and they are a bit similar to India.  The soldiers wore head wraps on their foreheads, and some officers had leather armor, and they advanced in disorder with spears.

    There is also a javeliner in the back row, holding a short spear and something like a mace pinned to his waist.

    There were about 4,000 tribal soldiers in the first batch of battle.  The remaining 3,000 were moving towards the flanks, and they actually knew how to outflank.

    King Andrea rides on a bullock cart, and the white zebu represents nobility.  This guy felt that he was going to win, and he didn't even intend to let the elite join the battle. He sat there looking at the center of the battlefield, and said to his minister: "Our military strength is ten times that of the outsiders, and none of the enemies can escape."

    "Your Majesty, outsiders need to be careful with their firearms," ??the minister reminded.

    Andrea said with a smile: "Let those tribal warriors consume the enemy's firearms. I will send troops to supervise the battle, kill the tribal soldiers who have fled back, and let them charge on the battlefield again. The enemy is only a little bit. After the firearms are consumed,  It's easy to beat."

    This king didn't regard the soldiers of the village tribe as human beings at all. In his eyes, they were all consumables.

    He is already considered very benevolent, but the queen of Madagascar two hundred years later will be truly cruel.  The queen likes to keep reptiles, and she sleeps with her pet boa constrictor, and tens of thousands are put to death in the crocodile pond.  The Queen has been in power for more than 30 years, and the population of the country has dropped sharply by 2.5 million (accounting for more than 50% of the total population), who died of massacres, wars, famine and plague.

    Of course, the queen didn't kill people randomly.

    The targets of her massacre were all political enemies close to Britain and France, as well as people who converted to Christianity.  In the villages infiltrated by the British and French forces, almost the whole village was slaughtered, and the British and French troops were defeated many times.

    The tribal soldiers continued to advance in disorder, and the Chinese army launched several artillery pieces.

    Deng Youzhang owned more than 30 artillery pieces, all of which were brought down from warships in distress.  The large-caliber artillery has basically never been used, and the small-caliber artillery has been used for the first two years. Later, it was stored due to lack of gunpowder, but there are special personnel responsible for daily maintenance.

    Before the iron ore was found, the iron shells had been melted down, and all were made into swords and spears.  Anyway, cannonballs can be replaced by stones, without careful polishing, they can be stuffed into the barrel and fired.

    This time, stone bullets were also used, and they were also gravel shot bullets.

    When the tribal soldiers approached to a distance of about 100 meters, the Chinese gunner ignited the fuse, and with a few loud noises, countless gravel goddesses flew out like flowers.

    "ah!"

    The enemy yelled and screamed in terror, and many natives threw away their spears and ran away with their heads in their arms.

    Really ran with his head in his arms, as if his hands could block the flying gravel.

    "Cavalry chasing the enemy!"

    Several officers of the Datong Cavalry Division, leading a group of novice adopted cavalry, galloped towards the defeated enemy.

    These local teenagers adopted by the Chinese have been practicing riding for more than a year, and now they finally look like cavalrymen.  However, the discipline was still not strict, and he ran without looking at his teammates at all, and forgot to use the physical fitness of the horse rationally, and swung the whip to accelerate as soon as he received the order to pursue.

    After chasing and chasing, the cavalry unit was in a mess, and no one paid attention to the officer's orders.

    Such a terrible novice cavalry, for the natives, it seems like a magic soldier descended from heaven.  Even those who hadn't been defeated by the artillery, when they saw the cavalry rushing, they threw away their weapons and turned to run away.

    The king sent several elite troops to supervise the battle, and the defeated soldiers who escaped first were beheaded by hundreds of elites.  But they couldn't stop the momentum of the rout at all, and the few supervising teams were dispersed instead, and the militia recruited temporarily followed suit.

    the?Different, belonging to a new text based on the Arabic alphabet, just like the difference between English and Latin.

    All the nobles and men in the city were killed by Deng Youzhang.

    He set out to relocate the Governor's Mansion, and decided to set up a school here to adopt more orphans to learn Chinese.  These adopted sons are the backbone of the future, and they must be relied on to rule various places and assist the Chinese and their children to control the entire island.

    However, before the relocation of the capital was carried out, local rebellions began.

    Some of the great nobles who were killed by him served as officials in other cities.  Hearing that his clan had been killed, he started rebelling one after another, and even gathered an army of 60,000, wanting to take back their capital.

    Deng Youzhang was not in a hurry to destroy them, and waited for the rebels from all walks of life to converge, so that it would be easy to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

    More than ten miles away from the city of Antananarivo, He Wenpeng brought dozens of old brothers and hundreds of adopted son troops to a beautiful night attack.

    Hundreds of elites attacked enemy camps at night, set fires everywhere, and tens of thousands of enemy troops trampled on each other—the country’s elites have long since disappeared, and all the mobs who came came.

    After the situation was completely settled, the officials sent by the imperial court were finally brought to Antananarivo.

    Antananarivo has been renamed Xinguangcheng, because many old brothers’ hometowns are in Guangdong.

    ,

    Although Zhao Han broke the boundary between officials and officials, it has become increasingly difficult for officials to become officials since the imperial examination was on the right track.

    After graduating from elementary school and taking the examination for junior officials in the county, they belong to the lowest level of officials.

    After graduating from middle school and taking the junior official examination in the state capital, the official rank is slightly higher.

    After graduating from university and failing to pass the Jinshi exam, at first they could be released as ninth-rank officials, but now they can only be sent out as official officials.  But you can directly serve as a first- and second-class official, and after three to five years, at most six or seven years, you can basically be promoted to a ninth-rank official.

    Officials who only have a primary school diploma, unless they have excellent practical ability or have connections in the family, they will not be able to really be an official in this life, and promotion to the first-class official is already the limit.

    ? For officials with a high school diploma, it will be a special test of talent and chance.  Generally until retirement, the ninth-rank official is the top of the sky, but there are overseas consulates and the Protectorate!

    Jinshi are reluctant to go to those remote and bitter cold places, unless they can become high officials.

    How can someone not feel resentful when he finally passed the imperial examination and was sent to Tibet to do the eighth and ninth grades?  Vietnam and Myanmar are okay, at least the conditions are not so bad.

    Therefore, the imperial court has a policy to let the chief officials of the provinces, prefectures and counties register the first-class officials who are willing to risk their lives, and the list is sent to the capital together with the taxes of the provinces every year.

    The first-class official is a hurdle to be promoted to an official, but it is very difficult to cross.

    Teng Wenlong has been a first-class official for eight years, and has changed three positions. Although the real power is getting bigger and more lucrative, but life and death just cannot go up.  He was already in his thirties, and while he was still alive, he registered to give it a try.

    He was actually selected. You must know that there are many first-class officials who are willing to risk their lives, and they all have excellent resumes. Whether they can win the lottery depends entirely on luck.

    But knowing where he was going, Teng Wenlong couldn't laugh or cry.

    Neither to Tibet, nor to Heilongjiang, nor to the Mongolian grasslands.  Even Malacca and Chittagong are fine, what the hell is Malacca?

    Malagasy, that is, Madagascar, is a transliteration from the indigenous language.

    The Arabs, Portuguese, and French have given this island many names, such as Moon Island, Vazamba Island, Ma Island, Da Island, etc. Zhao Han thinks that transliteration is the easiest way to troubleshoot.

    ? If you lose, you gain. The Falkland Islands are remote and the salary is high.

    Teng Wenlong was directly promoted from the first-class official to the sixth rank, and became a seventh-rank official.  But he had to serve for six years, and if counting the round trip, it would take seven or eight years to return to China, by which time he would be in his forties.

    Teng Wenlong also brought several subordinates, who were also promoted by the first-class officials, and the lowest ranks were all promoted from the eighth rank.

    There is not even a serious port when the fleet docks.

    A Chinese living in Malagasy Island was in charge of managing this simple port. After meeting him, he said: "Shangguan, please sail the boat to the north. There is a port there called Marenga.  It means that there is a river in Renjia Port, which can go directly to Xinguang City where the Governor’s Mansion is located.”

    Teng Wenlong asked suspiciously: "Isn't the Governor's Mansion on the west side?"

    The man explained: "We have conquered the capital of a small indigenous country, and many old brothers have moved there. I am not in a hurry to leave. After this port is abandoned, I will take over the nearby salt field. Hey, my ancestors have been salt workers for generations.  I never thought that one day I would be able to open a saltworks by myself.”

    Not only does this guy own the salt field, but the nearby indigenous people (mostly fishermen) are also under his jurisdiction.  He also has five adopted sons, who form a five-person private army, who can recruit natives at any time and pull up a miscellaneous army of three to four hundred people.

    Compared with those city lords, he didn't feel aggrieved.

    Because only the west coast of the island is suitable for boiling salt, and he owns the only sea salt field on the island.  As for Xinguangcheng, the natives eat rock salt, which doesn’t taste very good, and the old brothers prefer sea salt.

    After chatting with this man for a while, Teng Wenlong boarded the boat and headed north under the guidance of the guide.

    The sea boats sent by the imperial court were also equipped with many small boats, and the supplies were loaded on the boats and walked along the river, enjoying the unique exotic scenery along the way.

    "Mountainmandrill?"

    Teng Wenlong used binoculars to observe both sides of the river, and suddenly a ghostly thing came into view, which really shocked him.

    "Show me." Cao Yue said hurriedly.

    Cao Yue also came to Mashima to serve as an official, but he was only promoted to the seventh rank because his official resume was not as good.  (This chapter is not finished!)

    1020

    Teng Wenlong is good-looking.

    Teng Wenlong handed over the binoculars and reminded: "It's scary."

    Cao Yue observed with a binoculars for a long time, and finally found a strange animal.

    &nb??What is left after the war.  What is the constitution of the imperial court?  "

    Teng Wenlong said: "You are still the governor, and none of the magistrates and county magistrates you appoint will be changed. I will bring a group of officials to act as your deputy. There are also officials who specialize in supervising the gold mines. Mr. Xun Mine will also give you  Brought two. Error-free update@”

    "Your Majesty is wise." Deng Youzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief, the court did not directly send people to pick peaches.

    Teng Wenlong also said: "Your Majesty asked Falkland to build a seaport. The imperial court will send two ships, and the shipping officials will be dispatched from China. From now on, the supplies from Falkland will no longer be brought from China, and they can go directly to India to trade with King Jin."  .”

    "King Jin?" Deng Youzhang didn't understand.

    Teng Wenlong explained: "The King of Jin is the King of Jin. The prince born by His Majesty was entrusted to a small country in the south of India."

    Deng Youzhang and the old brothers around him were all silent after hearing these words.

    They also have stargazers who know how to calculate latitude and longitude, and they also have nautical charts to know how close southern India is to the Falklands.

    If they are disobedient and one day angers the imperial court, King Jin can directly send troops to kill them.

    The sky is high and the emperor is far away, but the king of Jin is not far away.  .

    ,

    In the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China, in 4362 AD and 1665 AD, Zhao Han was 48 years old.

    Qian Qianyi died of illness at home.

    Song Yingxing was critically ill.

    Pang Chunlai was critically ill.

    ?Huang Shun, the governor of the rear army stationed in Beijing, asked to return to the south to recuperate because of a serious illness.  Hu Dinggui was transferred from Shenyang to Beijing to take over the entire northern military, and Wan Sitong, the deputy governor of the rear army, was promoted to Shenyang.

    ? In the previous year, the national annual income was 79.6 million taels (including local and provincial interceptions).

    Among them, the agricultural tax is 34.79 million taels (accounting for 43.7%), the industrial and commercial tax is 17.35 million taels (accounting for 21.8%), the tariff is 24.52 million taels (accounting for 30.8%), and the overseas deportation center is 2.94 million taels (accounting for 3.7%).

    Not only has the state's finances increased, but the structure of fiscal revenue has also undergone tremendous changes.

    Ten years ago, agricultural tax accounted for more than 60%, and now it has dropped by more than ten percentage points, but the total amount of agricultural tax has actually increased steadily.

    However, industrial and commercial taxes, tariffs, and overseas revenues are all increasing rapidly, and the tariffs of more than 24 million taels are really scary.

    The increase in industrial and commercial tax year by year is due to the promotion of steam engines.  Textile, mining, smelting and many other industries use steam engines more and more frequently.  Of course, the continuous increase of the national population is also one of the main reasons for the prosperity of industry and commerce.

    There is a lot of production and must be sold.

    In Japan, North Korea, the Western Regions, Southeast Asia, and Southeast Asia, international trade is almost monopolized by Chinese businessmen.

    Even the purchase channels of Nanyang and Southeast Asian spices are controlled by Chinese merchants. European, Persian, Arab and Indian merchants can only purchase and transship from Chinese merchants.  Unlike European countries, Zhao Han did not force small countries to grant monopoly rights, and it was purely Chinese businessmen who competed for it.

    Chinese merchants are too involved, not only competing with foreign businessmen, but also competing with their own people, constantly increasing the purchase price of spices and tobacco, and those small countries earn more by selling local products.

    ?With the expansion of Indian and American markets, tariffs have skyrocketed again, and more industrial products have been exported, especially textiles.

    Due to the excessive expropriation of the Mughal emperor (slaughtering Hindu businessmen as pigs), coupled with the alluvial accumulation of cheap cotton cloth in China, the traditional Indian textile industry in the Ganges River Basin has actually been in a semi-collapsed state.  After Aurangzeb ascended the throne, religious persecution was so severe that many Hindu businessmen even fled the Mughal land with their families and moved to Chinese ports to make a living.

    However, the development of the American market has improved the life of the American people, but it has destroyed the Dutch textile industry.

    Just last year, Jiangsu Mariners finally couldn't hold back.  This trading company lost the competition in Asia and decided to go to America with Li Quan. The first fleet consisted of only three merchant ships, but they made a trip back and forth, excluding various costs and expenses, and made a full eight times the net profit.

    Only eight times the net profit, this is because the crew wages are high.

    Five times the salary of senior crew members, three times the salary of junior crew members, and a settling allowance must be given in advance, otherwise no one is willing to take risks in America.

    Ministers can no longer understand the current financial situation.

    A few years ago, I was still worried about the fiscal deficit. In a blink of an eye, the court has money, and it can have a surplus of several million every year.

    Cabinet.

    Wu Yingji took out the data given by the Ministry of Finance: "In the past seven years, the average annual growth rate of industrial and commercial taxes and tariffs has exceeded 6%. Especially after Portugal married Chittagong, countless Indian cottons were shipped to Chittagong, which solved the cotton problem.  The problem of insufficient supply. The cotton spinning factories in the south of the Yangtze River are increasing their production, and more and more cotton spinning factories are newly opened.”

    Zhu Shunshui sighed and said, "I don't know whether it's good or bad. I went back to my hometown during the Chinese New Year. There are two textile factories in the town, and there are hundreds of male and female workers. Counting the boat transportation, more than a thousand people rely on it."  The two make a living by weaving. The chimney of the factory is tall and big, and black smoke is floating all day long, and the dining tables of nearby villagers can be stained with black ash."

    Chen Maosheng said: "Anyway, the life of ordinary people is better than before."

    "That's true," Zhu Shunshui nodded, "All those who work are considered well-off families, especially skilled female workers. The housework and children are all handed over to the parents-in-law, and the woman has become the pillar of the family. But there are fewer families without work.  An income. There are also those who spin and weave their own cloth, all of which are woven and worn by themselves, and they can’t be sold at a good price.”

    Zhu Shunshui was talking about the situation in coastal provinces. His hometown had a thriving textile industry.

    ?The further inland you are, the weaker the industry, and you can't find a few steam engines in the whole province.  Those provinces are still stuck in the past, even the small peasant economy has not been destroyed, and there are still a large number of home weaving.

    Wu Yingji said: "The problem now is not to save money, but how to spend it. More and more silver is pouring into the coast, and the price of goods is going up. Give the Ministry of Industry morebsp; Japan's Satsuma domain is next to Ryukyu, although it was beaten up by the Datong army, the compensation was severely damaged.  However, due to the convenience of trade, smuggling is the most rampant, and the strength develops extremely fast, and there are a large number of wanderers who have access to China's advanced ideology, culture and technology.

    The Satsuma domain is brewing a ronin riot. The poor ronin want to lead the peasants to fight the "local tyrants" to divide the land.

    The Ronin uprising will definitely fail. Even if the Shimadzu family is killed, the shogunate army will be recruited to suppress the rebellion.  However, the follow-up impact is difficult to estimate. It may force the shogunate to close the country, or the failure of the shogunate may cause the prestige of the shogunate to plummet.

    "Your Majesty, Zhongyuzi sent a mission to Beijing to ask for your seal, and also sent a Princess Zhongyuzi over to present to Your Majesty." The Minister of Honglu Temple came to report.

    Zhao Han was very happy: "Kazakh asked for the seal? Can you know the details?"

    At this time, Xie Yuan was still in Madagascar and did not bring back relevant news, but he left an envoy as a guide for the Kazakhs.

    The information of Honglu Temple came from the guide messenger: "Your Majesty, Zhongyuzi is torn apart. This mission was sent by the son of Zhongyuzi's previous Khan, asking His Majesty to canonize him as the king of the Kazakh Khanate.  "

    Zhao Han said with a smile: "But he is a discerning one. Even if Zhongyuzi is not unified, he wants to be the king of Kazakhs."

    For westward expansion, Zhao Han only intends to occupy the territory of the Kyrgyz people, that is, the Kyrgyzstan of later generations. Taking it there is equivalent to regaining the homeland of the Tang Dynasty.  It is difficult to manage further west, mainly because of the terrain. Only Kyrgyzstan is good for defense and can be connected with the Kashgar area.

    Of course, if there is spare power, Tajikistan can also win, all of which are mountainous terrain that is conducive to defense.

    "Talking so much with you can be regarded as thanks for bringing me to the God Realm!"

    After explaining, the ruthless man stopped talking, the aura on his body became more and more ancient, and the black hole behind him became even bigger. Obviously, the effort of speaking has swallowed up an unknown amount of power and nourished it.

    "Zhang Xuan, the more the black hole swallows, the stronger his strength"

    Luo Ruoxi also noticed something was wrong, so she hurried over via voice transmission.

    "Get ready to do it!" All the doubts in his heart disappeared, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and suddenly raised the long sword in his hand: "If that's the case, then let's see the real chapter!"

    Boom!

    The most powerful sword intent was displayed again.

    Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc!

    I don't care about life and death, so what can stop me?

    Although this sword technique has not reached the emperor's comprehension, it contains all the obsessions in the heart, and it has brought out the heavenly love technique in the body to the limit.

    Huh!

    A sword cut the ruthless man's attack in half.

    At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also made a move, her jade hands rolled, and her sword shone like snow.

    Her swordsmanship is somewhat similar to that of the young man from Jian Shentian, with an indomitable aura and a natural and unrestrained aura.

    "Your tricks are very powerful, but compared to mine, they are still a bit worse"

    With a slight smile, the ruthless man grabbed down again.

    In an instant, the sky was blocked out, the sky and the earth were covered by the palm of the hand, the space was shattered, and the sun, moon and stars seemed to be forcibly knocked down.

    Poof!  puff!

    Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi flew upside down at the same time, blood spurting wildly in the air.

    With the strength of the two of them, they couldn't resist it!

    What kind of state has this guy reached?

    "Presumptuous!" The avatar strode forward, every step, a lotus flower bloomed, and the sound of running water was heard in the void.

    Seen from a distance, it is full of force.

    Refining the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation base is not weaker than Zhang Xuan.

    With a fist raised, the strength soared to nine days.

    Colliding with the ruthless person, he also flew upside down, unable to block a move.

    Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.

    Having become an emperor, the avatar still does not change its natural nature

    With such a gorgeous pretense, it is better to concentrate the power, which is more powerful!

    "Let's fight together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die"

    The little yellow chicken yelled loudly, the red flames burned, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

    The remaining six emperors also used their own means.

    The seven emperors joined forces to destroy the world, and even one side of the world could not resist it, but the opponent was a ruthless person who had absorbed special power. When the attack came to him, the black hole suddenly became bigger, and the power was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.  Come out with a counterattack.

    Boom bang bang bang!

    Like Zhang Xuan and others, the seven emperors flew upside down.

    The ten emperors, united together, didn't even block each other's move!

    How could this guy be so powerful?

    "You can die"

    After defeating everyone with one move, the ruthless man took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and took another shot.

    "Mouse dare you!"

    Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man from Jian Shentian suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, with the long sword in his hand turning into a galaxy.

    "Dijun? Is he also the strength of the emperor?"

    Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.

    At first, the old man followed the young man. He thought he was just a follower. At most, he was titled a god king. Only when he showed his power did he realize that he was also a strong emperor.??, it's the way of heaven, I never thought it was such a young man.

    "I transformed into three pures with one breath, and a part of my soul became the way of heaven! Besides, I created this world, so it's okay to say that I am the way of heaven!" Nie Yun smiled lightly.

    Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

    The God Realm was actually created by the person in front of him?

    So how strong should he be?

    "No, if the God Realm was created by you, and you are the Dao of Heaven, why do you allow ruthless people to wreak havoc without taking action" Zhang Xuan looked over.

    If he hadn't made a breakthrough by himself, the God Realm would have collapsed completely. Why didn't he ask this person in front of him?

    Do you even care about your daughter's life or death?

    Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over indifferently: "Do you think there are more powerful beings above the God Realm?"

    "This" Zhang Xuan paused: "It should be"

    Although I haven't seen it before, since he can cultivate to this level, maybe other people can too, or even stronger.

    Just like the one in front of you.

    "I once suspected that there would be more powerful beings above the God Realm, so I tried my best to peek, and finally attracted the backlash from the higher worlda palm pierced the air!"

    Nie Yun looked over: "If I dodged at that time, it was very likely that the entire God Realm would be wiped out, and there would be no more life So, I blocked this trick, but because of this, the incarnation's heaven was split."

    "This kind of situation, I want to recover, it's just a thought, but I understand that if I want to truly break free from the shackles of the God Realm, to explore where the palm comes from, and what is there outside the God Realm I am alone  It's hard to do. So, I want to see if there is any life that can break through the shackles of the emperor and reach the level of me!"

    "So, I sent the scattered thoughts of heaven to the bottom world respectively bestowing a soul that originally belonged to this world and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you did not disappoint me in the end!"

    Nie Yun smiled.

    "Souls that don't belong to this world, in this way, I crossed because of you?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

    No wonder, I was able to travel through, but I didn't expect that it was all done by the person in front of me.

    "Hehe!" Nie Yun smiled lightly, and said, "I belong to this world, so I have awe of the world. It is much more difficult to break through the shackles of the world. I also had a thought, and I didn't expect that you really  able to succeed"

    "I" Zhang Xuan blushed: "If it wasn't for Master Kong, I would never have reached this level"

    Without Master Kong's selfless dedication, it would be impossible to achieve the current state.

    "I gave him the opportunity, but I didn't grasp it. The competition with Lingxi was actually the best chance for him to break through. Unfortunately, he chose to retreat, thinking that he would have a back hand and could retreat completely.  If we lose our courage and diligence, if we don’t even have the spirit to face those who surpass us, how can we compete with them?”

    Nie Yundao.

    Zhang Xuan remained silent.

    At that time, he saw the battle between the two of them, and Master Kong was indeed somewhat deficient in decisiveness.

    It is also possible that he is not willing to kill Luo Ruoxi.

    It's a pity that with just this thought, I missed the chance to advance.

    "If Master Kong wins, Ruoxi will die" After a while, Zhang Xuan looked over and frowned.

    Could it be that the person in front of me doesn't even care about her daughter's life or death?

    "With me here, she won't die" Nie Yun smiled lightly: "Your current strength is not much different from mine. Do you think the strength of the two of you is at a critical moment. If you want to save people, can you do it?  ?”

    "This" Zhang Xuan smiled wryly.

    Breaking through the emperor and the emperor are two different concepts. If he is really willing to make a move, he can indeed save people at the last moment, and it is guaranteed that he will not be able to bear any injuries.

    "Consonance was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so she disguised her name as Luo In order to convince her, she didn't act emotionally, until now she always thought that I was still in a coma"

    Nie Yun smiled wryly: "My father is cruel enough Well, you should explain this matter to her, after all, her current thoughts have already shifted to you, my father,  I guess I can't even remember Haha, I won't show up for the time being, I will hide for a while, otherwise, I'm really afraid that she will turn the world upside down"

    Seeing this unreliable old man in front of him, Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and he had no choice but to agree: "Okay"

    There's nothing I can do if I don't agree, who let me abduct someone's daughter

    "The Library of Heaven's Dao was formed by one of my thoughts. It is the foundation and the shackles.

The rogues looked anxious and flustered, but the middle-aged man looked calm and continued to talk about his knowledge: "What is the foundation of wealth? Grain and cloth. Gold, silver and copper coins are just servants of the grain and cloth. Why are ronin poor?  Because they don’t do production. Not only ronin, samurai don’t do production either.

    The soul contract fits the soul. As long as you don't cancel it yourself, even if the other party has all-powerful means, you won't be able to dissolve it.

    Just like the little yellow chicken of the immortal emperor, who was just a god king before, and he is an emperor, so there is no way to resolve this kind of agreement.

    In order to prevent this guy from changing his mind and causing backlash, Famed Master Continent made a special decision that even if the other party can break away from the Book of Heaven, they cannot break free from the agreement between souls!

    "It is true that the soul contract cannot be separated from the sea of ??consciousness, but I have fused a special gas that can dissolve even the Dao of Heaven. It is not difficult to dissolve this kind of contract as long as I have enough power to bombard the place where the contract is, it will be able to  do it!"

    Having become an emperor, the avatar still does not change its natural nature

    With such a gorgeous pretense, it is better to concentrate the power, which is more powerful!

    "Let's fight together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die"

    The little yellow chicken yelled loudly, the red flames burned, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

    The remaining six emperors also used their own means.

    The seven emperors joined forces to destroy the world, and even one side of the world could not resist it, but the opponent was a ruthless person who had absorbed special power. When the attack came to him, the black hole suddenly became bigger, and the power was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.  Come out with a counterattack.

    Boom bang bang bang!

    Like Zhang Xuan and others, the seven emperors flew upside down.

    The ten emperors, united together, didn't even block each other's move!

    How could this guy be so powerful?

    "You can die"

    After defeating everyone with one move, the ruthless man took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and took another shot.

    "Mouse dare you!"

    Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man from Jian Shentian suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, with the long sword in his hand turning into a galaxy.

    "Dijun? Is he also the strength of the emperor?"

    Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.

    The old man followed the young man at the beginning, he thought he was just a follower, at most he was titled the king of gods, and he found out after exerting his strength.?Ruoxi said that her father is Tiandao, and she would never have imagined that he was such a young man.

    "I transformed into three pures with one breath, and a part of my soul became the way of heaven! Besides, I created this world, so it's okay to say that I am the way of heaven!" Nie Yun smiled lightly.

    Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

    The God Realm was actually created by the person in front of him?

    So how strong should he be?

    "No, if the God Realm was created by you, and you are the Dao of Heaven, why do you allow ruthless people to wreak havoc without taking action" Zhang Xuan looked over.

    If he hadn't made a breakthrough by himself, the God Realm would have collapsed completely. Why didn't he ask this person in front of him?

    Do you even care about your daughter's life or death?

    Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over indifferently: "Do you think there are more powerful beings above the God Realm?"

    "This" Zhang Xuan paused: "It should be"

    Although I haven't seen it before, since he can cultivate to this level, maybe other people can too, or even stronger.

    Just like the one in front of you.

    "I once suspected that there would be more powerful beings above the God Realm, so I tried my best to peek, and finally attracted the backlash from the higher worlda palm pierced the air!"

    Nie Yun looked over: "If I dodged at that time, it was very likely that the entire God Realm would be wiped out, and there would be no more life So, I blocked this trick, but because of this, the incarnation's heaven was split."

    "This kind of situation, I want to recover, it's just a thought, but I understand that if I want to truly break free from the shackles of the God Realm, to explore where the palm comes from, and what is there outside the God Realm I am alone  It's hard to do. So, I want to see if there is any life that can break through the shackles of the emperor and reach the level of me!"

    "So, I sent the scattered thoughts of heaven to the bottom world respectively bestowing a soul that originally belonged to this world and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you did not disappoint me in the end!"

    Nie Yun smiled.

    "Souls that don't belong to this world, in this way, I crossed because of you?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

    No wonder, I was able to travel through, but I didn't expect that it was all done by the person in front of me.

    "Hehe!" Nie Yun smiled lightly, and said, "I belong to this world, so I have awe of the world. It is much more difficult to break through the shackles of the world. I also had a thought, and I didn't expect that you really  able to succeed"

    "I" Zhang Xuan blushed: "If it wasn't for Master Kong, I would never have reached this level"

    Without Master Kong's selfless dedication, it would be impossible to achieve the current state.

    "I gave him the opportunity, but I didn't grasp it. The competition with Lingxi was actually the best chance for him to break through. Unfortunately, he chose to retreat, thinking that he would have a back hand and could retreat completely.  If we lose our courage and diligence, if we don’t even have the spirit to face those who surpass us, how can we compete with them?”

    Nie Yundao.

    Zhang Xuan remained silent.

    At that time, he saw the battle between the two of them, and Master Kong was indeed somewhat deficient in decisiveness.

    It is also possible that he is not willing to kill Luo Ruoxi.

    It's a pity that with just this thought, I missed the chance to advance.

    "If Master Kong wins, Ruoxi will die" After a while, Zhang Xuan looked over and frowned.

    Could it be that the person in front of me doesn't even care about her daughter's life or death?

    "With me here, she won't die" Nie Yun smiled lightly: "Your current strength is not much different from mine. Do you think the strength of the two of you is at a critical moment. If you want to save people, can you do it?  ?”

    "This" Zhang Xuan smiled wryly.

    Breaking through the emperor and the emperor are two different concepts. If he is really willing to make a move, he can indeed save people at the last moment, and it is guaranteed that he will not be able to bear any injuries.

    "Consonance was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so she disguised her name as Luo In order to convince her, she didn't act emotionally, until now she always thought that I was still in a coma"

    Seeing this unreliable old man in front of him, Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and he had no choice but to agree: "Okay"

    There's nothing I can do if I don't agree, who let me abduct someone's daughter

    "The Library of Heaven's Dao was formed by one of my thoughts. It is the foundation and the shackles. You can break through the shackles by relying on your own ability, which shows your ability and potential. The future is promising. My daughter can be with you, as a father,  It’s also a relief.”

 Text 1038 [Deputy General of the Shogunate]

    ,

    The soul contract fits the soul. As long as you don't cancel it yourself, even if the other party has all-powerful means, you won't be able to dissolve it.

    Just like the little yellow chicken of the immortal emperor, who was just a god king before, and he is an emperor, so there is no way to resolve this kind of agreement.

    In order to prevent this guy from changing his mind and causing backlash, Famed Master Continent made a special decision that even if the other party can break away from the Book of Heaven, they cannot break free from the agreement between souls!

    "It is true that the soul contract cannot be separated from the sea of ??consciousness, but I have fused a special gas that can dissolve even the Dao of Heaven. It is not difficult to dissolve this kind of contract as long as I have enough power to bombard the place where the contract is, it will be able to  do it!"

    Ruthless.

    The soul contract is based on the Dao of Heaven. Special powers can dissolve even the Dao of the God Realm. How difficult is it to dissolve a soul contract as long as it is handled properly?

    "So that's the case" Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.

    "Talking so much with you can be regarded as thanks for bringing me to the God Realm!"

    After explaining, the ruthless man stopped talking, the aura on his body became more and more ancient, and the black hole behind him became even bigger. Obviously, the effort of speaking has swallowed up an unknown amount of power and nourished it.

    "Zhang Xuan, the more the black hole swallows, the stronger his strength"

    Luo Ruoxi also noticed something was wrong, so she hurried over via voice transmission.

    "Get ready to do it!" All the doubts in his heart disappeared, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and suddenly raised the long sword in his hand: "If that's the case, then let's see the real chapter!"

    Boom!

    The most powerful sword intent was displayed again.

    Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc!

    I don't care about life and death, so what can stop me?

    Although this sword technique has not reached the emperor's comprehension, it contains all the obsessions in the heart, and it has brought out the heavenly love technique in the body to the limit.

    Huh!

    A sword cut the ruthless man's attack in half.

    At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also made a move, her jade hands rolled, and her sword shone like snow.

    Her swordsmanship is somewhat similar to that of the young man from Jian Shentian, with an indomitable aura and a natural and unrestrained aura.

    "Your tricks are very powerful, but compared to mine, they are still a bit worse"

    With a slight smile, the ruthless man grabbed down again.

    In an instant, the sky was blocked out, the sky and the earth were covered by the palm of the hand, the space was shattered, and the sun, moon and stars seemed to be forcibly knocked down.

    Poof!  puff!

    Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi flew upside down at the same time, blood spurting wildly in the air.

    With the strength of the two of them, they couldn't resist it!

    What kind of state has this guy reached?

    "Presumptuous!" The avatar strode forward, every step, a lotus flower bloomed, and the sound of running water was heard in the void.

    Seen from a distance, it is full of force.

    Refining the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation base is not weaker than Zhang Xuan.

    With a fist raised, the strength soared to nine days.

    Colliding with the ruthless person, he also flew upside down, unable to block a move.

    Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.

    Having become an emperor, the avatar still does not change its natural nature

    With such a gorgeous pretense, it is better to concentrate the power, which is more powerful!

    "Let's fight together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die"

    Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man from Jian Shentian suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, with the long sword in his hand turning into a galaxy.

    "Dijun? Is he also the strength of the emperor?"

    ,

    The soul contract fits the soul. As long as you don't cancel it yourself, even if the other party has all-powerful means, you won't be able to dissolve it.

    Just like the little yellow chicken of the immortal emperor, who was just a god king before, and he is an emperor, so there is no way to resolve this kind of agreement.

    In order to prevent this guy from changing his mind and causing backlash, Famed Master Continent made a special decision that even if the other party can break away from the Book of Heaven, they cannot break free from the agreement between souls!

    "It is true that the soul contract cannot be separated from the sea of ??consciousness, but I have fused a special gas that can dissolve even the Dao of Heaven. It is not difficult to dissolve this kind of contract as long as I have enough power to bombard the place where the contract is, it will be able to  do it!"

    Ruthless.

    The soul contract is based on the Dao of Heaven. Special powers can dissolve even the Dao of the God Realm. How difficult is it to dissolve a soul contract as long as it is handled properly?

    "So that's the case" Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.

    "Talking so much with you can be regarded as thanks for bringing me to the God Realm!"

    After explaining, the ruthless man stopped talking, the aura on his body became more and more ancient, and the black hole behind him became even bigger. Obviously, the effort of speaking has swallowed up an unknown amount of power and nourished it.

    "Zhang Xuan, the more the black hole swallows, the stronger his strength"

    Luo Ruoxi also noticed something was wrong, so she hurried over via voice transmission.

    "Get ready to do it!" All the doubts in his heart disappeared, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and suddenly raised the long sword in his hand: "If that's the case, then let's see the real chapter!"

    Boom!

    The most powerful sword intent was displayed again.

    Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc!

    I don't care about life and death, so what can stop me?

    Although this sword technique has not reached the emperor's comprehension, it contains all the obsessions in the heart, and it has brought out the heavenly love technique in the body to the limit.

    Huh!

    A sword cut the ruthless man's attack in half.

    At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also made a move, her jade hands rolled, and her sword shone like snow.

    Her swordsmanship is somewhat similar to that of the young man from Jian Shentian, with an indomitable aura and a natural and unrestrained aura.

    "Your tricks are very powerful, but compared to mine, they are still a bit worse"

    With a slight smile, the ruthless man grabbed down again.

    In an instant, the sky was blocked out, the sky and the earth were covered by the palm of the hand, the space was shattered, and the sun, moon and stars seemed to be forcibly knocked down.

    Poof!  puff!

    Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi flew upside down at the same time, blood spurting wildly in the air.

    With the strength of the two of them, they couldn't resist it!

    What kind of state has this guy reached?

    "Presumptuous!" The avatar strode forward, every step, a lotus flower bloomed, and the sound of running water was heard in the void.

    Seen from a distance, it is full of force.

    Refining the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation base is not weaker than Zhang Xuan.

    With a fist raised, the strength soared to nine days.

    Colliding with the ruthless person, he also flew upside down, unable to block a move.

    Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.

    Having become an emperor, the avatar still does not change its natural nature

    With such a gorgeous pretense, it is better to concentrate the power, which is more powerful!

    "Let's fight together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die"

    The little yellow chicken yelled loudly, the red flames burned, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

    The remaining six emperors also used their own means.

    The seven emperors joined forces to destroy the world, and even one side of the world could not resist it, but the opponent was a ruthless person who had absorbed special power. When the attack came to him, the black hole suddenly became bigger, and the power was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.  Come out with a counterattack.

    Boom bang bang bang!

    Like Zhang Xuan and others, the seven emperors flew upside down.

    The ten emperors, united together, didn't even block each other's move!

    How could this guy be so powerful?

    "You can die"

    After defeating everyone with one move, the ruthless man took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and took another shot.

    "Mouse dare you!"

    Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man from Jian Shentian suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, with the long sword in his hand turning into a galaxy.

    "Dijun? Is he also the strength of the emperor?"

    Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.

    The old man followed the young man at the beginning, he thought he was just a follower, at most he was titled the king of gods, and he found out after exerting his strength.?Ruoxi said that her father is Tiandao, and she would never have imagined that he was such a young man.

    "I transformed into three pures with one breath, and a part of my soul became the way of heaven! Besides, I created this world, so it's okay to say that I am the way of heaven!" Nie Yun smiled lightly.

    Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

    The God Realm was actually created by the person in front of him?

    So how strong should he be?

    "No, if the God Realm was created by you, and you are the Dao of Heaven, why do you allow ruthless people to wreak havoc without taking action" Zhang Xuan looked over.

    If he hadn't made a breakthrough by himself, the God Realm would have collapsed completely. Why didn't he ask this person in front of him?

    Do you even care about your daughter's life or death?

    Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over indifferently: "Do you think there are more powerful beings above the God Realm?"

    "This" Zhang Xuan paused: "It should be"

    Although I haven't seen it before, since he can cultivate to this level, maybe other people can too, or even stronger.

    Just like the one in front of you.

    "I once suspected that there would be more powerful beings above the God Realm, so I tried my best to peek, and finally attracted the backlash from the higher worlda palm pierced the air!"

    Nie Yun looked over: "If I dodged at that time, it was very likely that the entire God Realm would be wiped out, and there would be no more life So, I blocked this trick, but because of this, the incarnation's heaven was split."

    "This kind of situation, I want to recover, it's just a thought, but I understand that if I want to truly break free from the shackles of the God Realm, to explore where the palm comes from, and what is there outside the God Realm I am alone  It's hard to do. So, I want to see if there is any life that can break through the shackles of the emperor and reach the level of me!"

    "So, I sent the scattered thoughts of heaven to the bottom world respectively bestowing a soul that originally belonged to this world and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you did not disappoint me in the end!"

    Nie Yun smiled.

    "Souls that don't belong to this world, in this way, I crossed because of you?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

    No wonder, I was able to travel through, but I didn't expect that it was all done by the person in front of me.

    "Hehe!" Nie Yun smiled lightly, and said, "I belong to this world, so I have awe of the world. It is much more difficult to break through the shackles of the world. I also had a thought, and I didn't expect that you really  able to succeed"

    "I" Zhang Xuan blushed: "If it wasn't for Master Kong, I would never have reached this level"

    Without Master Kong's selfless dedication, it would be impossible to achieve the current state.

    "I gave him the opportunity, but I didn't grasp it. The competition with Lingxi was actually the best chance for him to break through. Unfortunately, he chose to retreat, thinking that he would have a back hand and could retreat completely.  If we lose our courage and diligence, if we don’t even have the spirit to face those who surpass us, how can we compete with them?”

    Nie Yundao.

    Zhang Xuan remained silent.

    At that time, he saw the battle between the two of them, and Master Kong was indeed somewhat deficient in decisiveness.

    It is also possible that he is not willing to kill Luo Ruoxi.

    It's a pity that with just this thought, I missed the chance to advance.

    "If Master Kong wins, Ruoxi will die" After a while, Zhang Xuan looked over and frowned.

    Could it be that the person in front of me doesn't even care about her daughter's life or death?

    "With me here, she won't die" Nie Yun smiled lightly: "Your current strength is not much different from mine. Do you think the strength of the two of you is at a critical moment. If you want to save people, can you do it?  ?”

    "This" Zhang Xuan smiled wryly.

    Breaking through the emperor and the emperor are two different concepts. If he is really willing to make a move, he can indeed save people at the last moment, and it is guaranteed that he will not be able to bear any injuries.

    "Consonance was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so she disguised her name as Luo In order to convince her, she didn't act emotionally, until now she always thought that I was still in a coma"

    Nie Yun smiled wryly: "My father is cruel enough Well, you should explain this matter to her, after all, her current thoughts have already shifted to you, my father,  I guess I can't even remember Haha, I won't show up for the time being, I will hide for a while, otherwise, I'm really afraid that she will turn the world upside down"

    The old man followed the young man at the beginning, he thought he was just a follower, at most he was titled the king of gods, and he found out after exerting his strength.?Ruoxi said that her father is Tiandao, and she would never have imagined that he was such a young man.

    "I transformed into three pures with one breath, and a part of my soul became the way of heaven! Besides, I created this world, so it's okay to say that I am the way of heaven!" Nie Yun smiled lightly.

    Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

    The God Realm was actually created by the person in front of him?

    So how strong should he be?

    "No, if the God Realm was created by you, and you are the Dao of Heaven, why do you allow ruthless people to wreak havoc without taking action" Zhang Xuan looked over.

    If he hadn't made a breakthrough by himself, the God Realm would have collapsed completely. Why didn't he ask this person in front of him?

    Do you even care about your daughter's life or death?

    Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over indifferently: "Do you think there are more powerful beings above the God Realm?"

    "This" Zhang Xuan paused: "It should be"

    Although I haven't seen it before, since he can cultivate to this level, maybe other people can too, or even stronger.

    Just like the one in front of you.

    "I once suspected that there would be more powerful beings above the God Realm, so I tried my best to peek, and finally attracted the backlash from the higher worlda palm pierced the air!"

    Nie Yun looked over: "If I dodged at that time, it was very likely that the entire God Realm would be wiped out, and there would be no more life So, I blocked this trick, but because of this, the incarnation's heaven was split."

    "This kind of situation, I want to recover, it's just a thought, but I understand that if I want to truly break free from the shackles of the God Realm, to explore where the palm comes from, and what is there outside the God Realm I am alone  It's hard to do. So, I want to see if there is any life that can break through the shackles of the emperor and reach the level of me!"

    "So, I sent the scattered thoughts of heaven to the bottom world respectively bestowing a soul that originally belonged to this world and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you did not disappoint me in the end!"

    Nie Yun smiled.

    "Souls that don't belong to this world, in this way, I crossed because of you?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

    No wonder, I was able to travel through, but I didn't expect that it was all done by the person in front of me.

    "Hehe!" Nie Yun smiled lightly, and said, "I belong to this world, so I have awe of the world. It is much more difficult to break through the shackles of the world. I also had a thought, and I didn't expect that you really  able to succeed"

    "I" Zhang Xuan blushed: "If it wasn't for Master Kong, I would never have reached this level"

    Without Master Kong's selfless dedication, it would be impossible to achieve the current state.

    "I gave him the opportunity, but I didn't grasp it. The competition with Lingxi was actually the best chance for him to break through. Unfortunately, he chose to retreat, thinking that he would have a back hand and could retreat completely.

    Nie Yundao.

    Zhang Xuan remained silent.

    At that time, he saw the battle between the two of them, and Master Kong was indeed somewhat deficient in decisiveness.

    It is also possible that he is not willing to kill Luo Ruoxi.

    It's a pity that with just this thought, I missed the chance to advance.

    "If Master Kong wins, Ruoxi will die" After a while, Zhang Xuan looked over and frowned.

    Could it be that the person in front of me doesn't even care about her daughter's life or death?

    "With me here, she won't die" Nie Yun smiled lightly: "Your current strength is not much different from mine. Do you think the strength of the two of you is at a critical moment. If you want to save people, can you do it?  ?”

    "This" Zhang Xuan smiled wryly.

    Breaking through the emperor and the emperor are two different concepts. If he is really willing to make a move, he can indeed save people at the last moment, and it is guaranteed that he will not be able to bear any injuries.

    "Consonance was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so she disguised her name as Luo In order to convince her, she didn't act emotionally, until now she always thought that I was still in a coma"

    ,

    The soul contract fits the soul. As long as you don't cancel it yourself, even if the other party has all-powerful means, you won't be able to dissolve it.

    Just like the little yellow chicken of the immortal emperor, who was just a god king before, and he is an emperor, so there is no way to resolve this kind of agreement.

    In order to prevent this guy from changing his mind and causing backlash, Famed Master Continent made a special decision that even if the other party can break away from the Book of Heaven, they cannot break free from the agreement between souls!

    "It is true that the soul contract cannot be separated from the sea of ??consciousness, but I have fused a special gas that can dissolve even the Dao of Heaven. It is not difficult to dissolve this kind of contract as long as I have enough power to bombard the place where the contract is, it will be able to  do it!"

    Ruthless.

    The soul contract is based on the Dao of Heaven. Special powers can dissolve even the Dao of the God Realm. How difficult is it to dissolve a soul contract as long as it is handled properly?

    "So that's the case" Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.

    "Talking so much with you can be regarded as thanks for bringing me to the God Realm!"

    After explaining, the ruthless man stopped talking, the aura on his body became more and more ancient, and the black hole behind him became even bigger. Obviously, the effort of speaking has swallowed up an unknown amount of power and nourished it.

    "Zhang Xuan, the more the black hole swallows, the stronger his strength"

    Luo Ruoxi also noticed something was wrong, so she hurried over via voice transmission.

    "Get ready to do it!" All the doubts in his heart disappeared, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and suddenly raised the long sword in his hand: "If that's the case, then let's see the real chapter!"

    Boom!

    The most powerful sword intent was displayed again.

    Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc!

    I don't care about life and death, so what can stop me?

    Although this sword technique has not reached the emperor's comprehension, it contains all the obsessions in the heart, and it has brought out the heavenly love technique in the body to the limit.

    Huh!

    A sword cut the ruthless man's attack in half.

    At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also made a move, her jade hands rolled, and her sword shone like snow.

    Her swordsmanship is somewhat similar to that of the young man from Jian Shentian, with an indomitable aura and a natural and unrestrained aura.

    "Your tricks are very powerful, but compared to mine, they are still a bit worse"

    With a slight smile, the ruthless man grabbed down again.

    In an instant, the sky was blocked out, the sky and the earth were covered by the palm of the hand, the space was shattered, and the sun, moon and stars seemed to be forcibly knocked down.

    Poof!  puff!

    Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi flew upside down at the same time, blood spurting wildly in the air.

    With the strength of the two of them, they couldn't resist it!

    What kind of state has this guy reached?

    "Presumptuous!" The avatar strode forward, every step, a lotus flower bloomed, and the sound of running water was heard in the void.

    Seen from a distance, it is full of force.

    Refining the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation base is not weaker than Zhang Xuan.

    With a fist raised, the strength soared to nine days.

    Colliding with the ruthless person, he also flew upside down, unable to block a move.

    Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.

    Having become an emperor, the avatar still does not change its natural nature

    With such a gorgeous pretense, it is better to concentrate the power, which is more powerful!

    "Let's fight together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die"

    The little yellow chicken yelled loudly, the red flames burned, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

    The remaining six emperors also used their own means.

    The seven emperors joined forces to destroy the world, and even one side of the world could not resist it, but the opponent was a ruthless person who had absorbed special power. When the attack came to him, the black hole suddenly became bigger, and the power was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.  Come out with a counterattack.

    Boom bang bang bang!

    Like Zhang Xuan and others, the seven emperors flew upside down.

    The ten emperors, united together, didn't even block each other's move!

    How could this guy be so powerful?

    "You can die"

    After defeating everyone with one move, the ruthless man took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and took another shot.

    "Mouse dare you!"

    Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man from Jian Shentian suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, with the long sword in his hand turning into a galaxy.

    "Dijun? Is he also the strength of the emperor?"

    Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.

    The old man followed the young man at the beginning, he thought he was just a follower, at most he was titled the king of gods, and he found out after exerting his strength.?Ruoxi said that her father is Tiandao, and she would never have imagined that he was such a young man.

    No wonder, I was able to travel through, but I didn't expect that it was all done by the person in front of me.

    "Hehe!" Nie Yun smiled lightly, and said, "I belong to this world, so I have awe of the world. It is much more difficult to break through the shackles of the world. I also had a thought, and I didn't expect that you really  able to succeed"

    In order to prevent this guy from changing his mind and causing backlash, Famed Master Continent made a special decision that even if the other party can break away from the Book of Heaven, they cannot break free from the agreement between souls!

    "It is true that the soul contract cannot be separated from the sea of ??consciousness, but I have fused a special gas that can dissolve even the Dao of Heaven. It is not difficult to dissolve this kind of contract as long as I have enough power to bombard the place where the contract is, it will be able to  do it!"

    Ruthless.

    The soul contract is based on the Dao of Heaven. Special powers can dissolve even the Dao of the God Realm. How difficult is it to dissolve a soul contract as long as it is handled properly?

    "So that's the case" Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.

    "Talking so much with you can be regarded as thanks for bringing me to the God Realm!"

    After explaining, the ruthless man stopped talking, the aura on his body became more and more ancient, and the black hole behind him became even bigger. Obviously, the effort of speaking has swallowed up an unknown amount of power and nourished it.

    "Zhang Xuan, the more the black hole swallows, the stronger his strength"

    Luo Ruoxi also noticed something was wrong, so she hurried over via voice transmission.

    "Get ready to do it!" All the doubts in his heart disappeared, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and suddenly raised the long sword in his hand: "If that's the case, then let's see the real chapter!"

    Boom!

    The most powerful sword intent was displayed again.

    Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc!

    I don't care about life and death, so what can stop me?

    Although this sword technique has not reached the emperor's comprehension, it contains all the obsessions in the heart, and it has brought out the heavenly love technique in the body to the limit.

    Huh!

    A sword cut the ruthless man's attack in half.

    At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also made a move, her jade hands rolled, and her sword shone like snow.

    Her swordsmanship is somewhat similar to that of the young man from Jian Shentian, with an indomitable aura and a natural and unrestrained aura.

    "Your tricks are very powerful, but compared to mine, they are still a bit worse"

    With a slight smile, the ruthless man grabbed down again.

    In an instant, the sky was blocked out, the sky and the earth were covered by the palm of the hand, the space was shattered, and the sun, moon and stars seemed to be forcibly knocked down.

    Poof!  puff!

    Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi flew upside down at the same time, blood spurting wildly in the air.

    With the strength of the two of them, they couldn't resist it!

    What kind of state has this guy reached?

    "Presumptuous!" The avatar strode forward, every step, a lotus flower bloomed, and the sound of running water was heard in the void.

    Seen from a distance, it is full of force.

    Refining the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation base is not weaker than Zhang Xuan.

    With a fist raised, the strength soared to nine days.

    Colliding with the ruthless person, he also flew upside down, unable to block a move.

    Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.

    Having become an emperor, the avatar still does not change its natural nature

    With such a gorgeous pretense, it is better to concentrate the power, which is more powerful!

    "Let's fight together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die"

    The little yellow chicken yelled loudly, the red flames burned, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

    The remaining six emperors also used their own means.

    The seven emperors joined forces to destroy the world, and even one side of the world could not resist it, but the opponent was a ruthless person who had absorbed special power. When the attack came to him, the black hole suddenly became bigger, and the power was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.  Come out with a counterattack.

    Boom bang bang bang!

    Like Zhang Xuan and others, the seven emperors flew upside down.

    The ten emperors, united together, didn't even block each other's move!

    How could this guy be so powerful?

    "You can die"

    After defeating everyone with one move, the ruthless man took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and took another shot.

    "Mouse dare you!"

    Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man from Jian Shentian suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, with the long sword in his hand turning into a galaxy.

    "Dijun? Is he also the strength of the emperor?"

    Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.

    The old man followed the young man at the beginning, he thought he was just a follower, at most he was titled the king of gods, and he found out after exerting his strength.?Ruoxi said that her father is Tiandao, and she would never have imagined that he was such a young man.

    "I transformed into three pures with one breath, and a part of my soul became the way of heaven! Besides, I created this world, so it's okay to say that I am the way of heaven!" Nie Yun smiled lightly.

    Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

    The God Realm was actually created by the person in front of him?

    So how strong should he be?

    "No, if the God Realm was created by you, and you are the Dao of Heaven, why do you allow ruthless people to wreak havoc without taking action" Zhang Xuan looked over.

    If he hadn't made a breakthrough by himself, the God Realm would have collapsed completely. Why didn't he ask this person in front of him?

    Do you even care about your daughter's life or death?

    Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over indifferently: "Do you think there are more powerful beings above the God Realm?"

    "This" Zhang Xuan paused: "It should be"

    Although I haven't seen it before, since he can cultivate to this level, maybe other people can too, or even stronger.

    Just like the one in front of you.

    "I once suspected that there would be more powerful beings above the God Realm, so I tried my best to peek, and finally attracted the backlash from the higher worlda palm pierced the air!"

    Nie Yun looked over: "If I dodged at that time, it was very likely that the entire God Realm would be wiped out, and there would be no more life So, I blocked this trick, but because of this, the incarnation's heaven was split."

    "This kind of situation, I want to recover, it's just a thought, but I understand that if I want to truly break free from the shackles of the God Realm, to explore where the palm comes from, and what is there outside the God Realm I am alone  It's hard to do. So, I want to see if there is any life that can break through the shackles of the emperor and reach the level of me!"

    "So, I sent the scattered thoughts of heaven to the bottom world respectively bestowing a soul that originally belonged to this world and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you did not disappoint me in the end!"

    Nie Yun smiled.

    "Souls that don't belong to this world, in this way, I crossed because of you?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

    No wonder, I was able to travel through, but I didn't expect that it was all done by the person in front of me.

    "Hehe!" Nie Yun smiled lightly, and said, "I belong to this world, so I have awe of the world. It is much more difficult to break through the shackles of the world. I also had a thought, and I didn't expect that you really  able to succeed"

    "I" Zhang Xuan blushed: "If it wasn't for Master Kong, I would never have reached this level"

    Without Master Kong's selfless dedication, it would be impossible to achieve the current state.

    "I gave him the opportunity, but I didn't grasp it. The competition with Lingxi was actually the best chance for him to break through. Unfortunately, he chose to retreat, thinking that he would have a back hand and could retreat completely.  If we lose our courage and diligence, if we don’t even have the spirit to face those who surpass us, how can we compete with them?”

    Nie Yundao.

    Zhang Xuan remained silent.

    At that time, he saw the battle between the two of them, and Master Kong was indeed somewhat deficient in decisiveness.

    It is also possible that he is not willing to kill Luo Ruoxi.

    It's a pity that with just this thought, I missed the chance to advance.

    "If Master Kong wins, Ruoxi will die" After a while, Zhang Xuan looked over and frowned.

    Could it be that the person in front of me doesn't even care about her daughter's life or death?

    "With me here, she won't die" Nie Yun smiled lightly: "Your current strength is not much different from mine. Do you think the strength of the two of you is at a critical moment. If you want to save people, can you do it?  ?”

    "This" Zhang Xuan smiled wryly.

    Breaking through the emperor and the emperor are two different concepts. If he is really willing to make a move, he can indeed save people at the last moment, and it is guaranteed that he will not be able to bear any injuries.

    "Consonance was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so she disguised her name as Luo In order to convince her, she didn't act emotionally, until now she always thought that I was still in a coma"

    Nie Yun smiled wryly: "My father is cruel enough Well, you should explain this matter to her, after all, her current thoughts have already shifted to you, my father,  I guess I can't even remember Haha, I won't show up for the time being, I will hide for a while, otherwise, I'm really afraid that she will turn the world upside down"

    Seeing this unreliable old man in front of him, Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and he had no choice but to agree: "Okay"

    There's nothing I can do if I don't agree, who let me abduct someone's daughter

    "The Library of Heaven's Dao was formed by one of my thoughts. It is the foundation and the shackles. You can break through the shackles by relying on your own ability, which shows your ability and potential. The future is promising. My daughter can be with you, as a father,  It’s also a relief.”

    Nie Yun looked over: "If I dodged at that time, it was very likely that the entire God Realm would be wiped out, and there would be no more life So, I blocked this trick, but because of this, the incarnation's heaven was split."

    "This kind of situation, I want to recover, it's just a thought, but I understand that if I want to truly break free from the shackles of the God Realm, to explore where the palm comes from, and what is there outside the God Realm I am alone  It's hard to do. So, I want to see if there is any life that can break through the shackles of the emperor and reach the level of me!"

    "So, I sent the scattered thoughts of heaven to the bottom world respectively bestowing a soul that originally belonged to this world and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you did not disappoint me in the end!"

    Nie Yun smiled.

    "Souls that don't belong to this world, in this way, I crossed because of you?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

    No wonder, I was able to travel through, but I didn't expect that it was all done by the person in front of me.

    "Hehe!" Nie Yun smiled lightly, and said, "I belong to this world, so I have awe of the world. It is much more difficult to break through the shackles of the world. I also had a thought, and I didn't expect that you really  able to succeed"

    "I" Zhang Xuan blushed: "If it wasn't for Master Kong, I would never have reached this level"

    Without Master Kong's selfless dedication, it would be impossible to achieve the current state.

    "I gave him the opportunity, but I didn't grasp it. The competition with Lingxi was actually the best chance for him to break through. Unfortunately, he chose to retreat, thinking that he would have a back hand and could retreat completely.  If we lose our courage and diligence, if we don’t even have the spirit to face those who surpass us, how can we compete with them?”

    Nie Yundao.

    Zhang Xuan remained silent.

    At that time, he saw the battle between the two of them, and Master Kong was indeed somewhat deficient in decisiveness.

    It is also possible that he is not willing to kill Luo Ruoxi.

    It's a pity that with just this thought, I missed the chance to advance.

    "If Master Kong wins, Ruoxi will die" After a while, Zhang Xuan looked over and frowned.

    Could it be that the person in front of me doesn't even care about her daughter's life or death?

    "With me here, she won't die" Nie Yun smiled lightly: "Your current strength is not much different from mine. Do you think the strength of the two of you is at a critical moment. If you want to save people, can you do it?  ?”

    "This" Zhang Xuan smiled wryly.

    Breaking through the emperor and the emperor are two different concepts. If he is really willing to make a move, he can indeed save people at the last moment, and it is guaranteed that he will not be able to bear any injuries.

    "Consonance was born to my other wife, Luo Qingcheng, so she disguised her name as Luo In order to convince her, she didn't act emotionally, until now she always thought that I was still in a coma"

    Nie Yun smiled wryly: "My father is cruel enough Well, you should explain this matter to her, after all, her current thoughts have already shifted to you, my father,  I guess I can't even remember Haha, I won't show up for the time being, I will hide for a while, otherwise, I'm really afraid that she will turn the world upside down"

    Seeing this unreliable old man in front of him, Zhang Xuan's face twitched, and he had no choice but to agree: "Okay"

    There's nothing I can do if I don't agree, who let me abduct someone's daughter

    "The Library of Heaven's Dao was formed by one of my thoughts. It is the foundation and the shackles.

 Text 1048 [Li Bai's Birthplace]

    ,

    The soul contract fits the soul. As long as you don't cancel it yourself, even if the other party has all-powerful means, you won't be able to dissolve it.

    Just like the little yellow chicken of the immortal emperor, who was just a god king before, and he is an emperor, so there is no way to resolve this kind of agreement.

    In order to prevent this guy from changing his mind and causing backlash, Famed Master Continent made a special decision that even if the other party can break away from the Book of Heaven, they cannot break free from the agreement between souls!

    "It is true that the soul contract cannot be separated from the sea of ??consciousness, but I have fused a special gas that can dissolve even the Dao of Heaven. It is not difficult to dissolve this kind of contract as long as I have enough power to bombard the place where the contract is, it will be able to  do it!"

    Ruthless.

    The soul contract is based on the Dao of Heaven. Special powers can dissolve even the Dao of the God Realm. How difficult is it to dissolve a soul contract as long as it is handled properly?

    "So that's the case" Zhang Xuan's eyes flashed.

    "Talking so much with you can be regarded as thanks for bringing me to the God Realm!"

    After explaining, the ruthless man stopped talking, the aura on his body became more and more ancient, and the black hole behind him became even bigger. Obviously, the effort of speaking has swallowed up an unknown amount of power and nourished it.

    "Zhang Xuan, the more the black hole swallows, the stronger his strength"

    Luo Ruoxi also noticed something was wrong, so she hurried over via voice transmission.

    "Get ready to do it!" All the doubts in his heart disappeared, Zhang Xuan took a deep breath, and suddenly raised the long sword in his hand: "If that's the case, then let's see the real chapter!"

    Boom!

    The most powerful sword intent was displayed again.

    Life should come back, death should be Sauvignon Blanc!

    I don't care about life and death, so what can stop me?

    Although this sword technique has not reached the emperor's comprehension, it contains all the obsessions in the heart, and it has brought out the heavenly love technique in the body to the limit.

    Huh!

    A sword cut the ruthless man's attack in half.

    At the same moment, Luo Ruoxi also made a move, her jade hands rolled, and her sword shone like snow.

    Her swordsmanship is somewhat similar to that of the young man from Jian Shentian, with an indomitable aura and a natural and unrestrained aura.

    "Your tricks are very powerful, but compared to mine, they are still a bit worse"

    With a slight smile, the ruthless man grabbed down again.

    In an instant, the sky was blocked out, the sky and the earth were covered by the palm of the hand, the space was shattered, and the sun, moon and stars seemed to be forcibly knocked down.

    Poof!  puff!

    Zhang Xuan and Luo Ruoxi flew upside down at the same time, blood spurting wildly in the air.

    With the strength of the two of them, they couldn't resist it!

    What kind of state has this guy reached?

    "Presumptuous!" The avatar strode forward, every step, a lotus flower bloomed, and the sound of running water was heard in the void.

    Seen from a distance, it is full of force.

    Refining the Nine Heavens Chaos Golden Lotus, his cultivation base is not weaker than Zhang Xuan.

    With a fist raised, the strength soared to nine days.

    Colliding with the ruthless person, he also flew upside down, unable to block a move.

    Zhang Xuan covered his forehead.

    Having become an emperor, the avatar still does not change its natural nature

    With such a gorgeous pretense, it is better to concentrate the power, which is more powerful!

    "Let's fight together, otherwise, if they die, we will all die"

    The little yellow chicken yelled loudly, the red flames burned, and the sky seemed to be on fire.

    The remaining six emperors also used their own means.

    The seven emperors joined forces to destroy the world, and even one side of the world could not resist it, but the opponent was a ruthless person who had absorbed special power. When the attack came to him, the black hole suddenly became bigger, and the power was swallowed up in the blink of an eye.  Come out with a counterattack.

    Boom bang bang bang!

    Like Zhang Xuan and others, the seven emperors flew upside down.

    The ten emperors, united together, didn't even block each other's move!

    How could this guy be so powerful?

    "You can die"

    After defeating everyone with one move, the ruthless man took a step forward, flipped his wrist, and took another shot.

    "Mouse dare you!"

    Accompanied by a loud shout, the old man from Jian Shentian suddenly appeared and stood in front of him, with the long sword in his hand turning into a galaxy.

    "Dijun? Is he also the strength of the emperor?"

    Zhang Xuan's pupils shrank.

    The old man followed the young man at the beginning, he thought he was just a follower, at most he was titled the king of gods, and he found out after exerting his strength.?Ruoxi said that her father is Tiandao, and she would never have imagined that he was such a young man.

    "I transformed into three pures with one breath, and a part of my soul became the way of heaven! Besides, I created this world, so it's okay to say that I am the way of heaven!" Nie Yun smiled lightly.

    Zhang Xuan couldn't believe it.

    The God Realm was actually created by the person in front of him?

    So how strong should he be?

    "No, if the God Realm was created by you, and you are the Dao of Heaven, why do you allow ruthless people to wreak havoc without taking action" Zhang Xuan looked over.

    If he hadn't made a breakthrough by himself, the God Realm would have collapsed completely. Why didn't he ask this person in front of him?

    Do you even care about your daughter's life or death?

    Without answering his question, Nie Yun looked over indifferently: "Do you think there are more powerful beings above the God Realm?"

    "This" Zhang Xuan paused: "It should be"

    Although I haven't seen it before, since he can cultivate to this level, maybe other people can too, or even stronger.

    Just like the one in front of you.

    "I once suspected that there would be more powerful beings above the God Realm, so I tried my best to peek, and finally attracted the backlash from the higher worlda palm pierced the air!"

    Nie Yun looked over: "If I dodged at that time, it was very likely that the entire God Realm would be wiped out, and there would be no more life So, I blocked this trick, but because of this, the incarnation's heaven was split."

    "This kind of situation, I want to recover, it's just a thought, but I understand that if I want to truly break free from the shackles of the God Realm, to explore where the palm comes from, and what is there outside the God Realm I am alone  It's hard to do. So, I want to see if there is any life that can break through the shackles of the emperor and reach the level of me!"

    "So, I sent the scattered thoughts of heaven to the bottom world respectively bestowing a soul that originally belonged to this world and a soul that did not belong to this world. And you did not disappoint me in the end!"

    Nie Yun smiled.

    "Souls that don't belong to this world, in this way, I crossed because of you?" Zhang Xuan was shocked.

    No wonder, I was able to travel through, but I didn't expect that it was all done by the person in front of me.

    "Hehe!" Nie Yun smiled lightly, and said, "I belong to this world, so I have awe of the world. It is much more difficult to break through the shackles of the world. I also had a thought, and I didn't expect that you really  able to succeed"

    "I" Zhang Xuan blushed: "If it wasn't for Master Kong, I would never have reached this level"

Unfortunately, he chose to retreat, thinking that he would have a back hand and could retreat completely.  If we lose our courage and diligence, if we don’t even have the spirit to face those who surpass us, how can we compete with them?”

    Nie Yundao.

    Zhang Xuan remained silent.

    At that time, he saw the battle between the two of them, and Master Kong was indeed somewhat deficient in decisiveness.

    It is also possible that he is not willing to kill Luo Ruoxi.

    It's a pity that with just this thought, I missed the chance to advance.

    "If Master Kong wins, Ruoxi will die" After a while, Zhang Xuan looked over and frowned.

    Could it be that the person in front of me doesn't even care about her daughter's life or death?

    The entire Cong Ridge is under the jurisdiction of Governor Osh of the Bukhara Khanate.

    However, there have been several governors in succession who have never set foot in the land of Congling—a plateau with an average altitude of more than 3,000 meters. Who would come here to wander around?

    Congling is different from what Jiang Liang imagined. Although it believes in the Green religion, it is a secular tribal society.

    Both the Yarkand Khanate and the Mughal Empire believed in Sufis at this time.  In the vast plateau and mountainous areas of Congling, people of faith

    "Someone claimed to be a survivor of the former dynasty and wanted to ask the governor to offer advice in person. But judging by his high cheekbones and deep eyes, it seems that he is not a Han Chinese, but a Huihui from a foreign race."

    "Bring it in."

    A middle-aged man with unknown bloodlines was brought to Jiang Liang by the guards, bowed his head and said: "Liu Qin, a survivor of the former dynasty, pays homage to the governor."

    "If you can speak Chinese, you are a survivor of the previous dynasty?" Jiang Liang laughed suddenly, "Your Chinese is very fluent, and it sounds like you learned it after growing up in a foreign race."

    Liu Qin stated: "My sixth patriarch was Ji Shan from the residence of King Zhongshun of the Ming Dynasty. He was an upright Juren of Ming Dynasty and was sent to Hamiwei to teach Confucianism. Hamiwei fell, King Zhongshun went into exile, and my sixth patriarch followed him all the time.  Later, King Zhongshun died suddenly, and the sixth patriarch was captured by the Great Khan of Chagatai, and was placed in Turpan to remarry and have children."

    Jiang Liang asked, "Who is King Zhongshun of the Ming Dynasty?"

    Liu Qin explained: "King Zhongshun of the Ming Dynasty is the Commander of Hamiwei. His ancestors were Mongolian nobles who defected to the Ming Dynasty. The Ming court did not interfere with Hami affairs, but there were always Han officials appointed as Chang Shi and Ji Shan. The sixth ancestor  They are really Han people, although they later married women of different races, but the Confucian classics in charge of the royal family Ji Shan, every generation of descendants must learn from childhood."

    Jiang Liang asked again: "I have occupied Kashgar for half a year, why are you here now?"

    "It's a long journey, and I'm coming from Gurban Alimatu (Almaty) after a long journey." Liu Qin said.

    Almaty is the core site of Dayuzzi!

    Jiang Liang asked, "What's the current situation in Dayuzi?"

    Liu Qin said: "Yerqiang's soldiers and horses were beaten by the governor and fled to Dayuzi. They conquered several tribes in late autumn last year. After the beginning of spring, the war broke out again. When I left, the Yeerqiang soldiers and horses were victorious.  However, the various tribes of Dayuzi, which were scattered in the sand, were forced to join forces to fight. Moreover, after the grassland area of ??Dayuzi was conquered, there were still many cities that could be defended. The soldiers and horses of Yarkand seem to be not good at attacking cities.”

    "What is the reaction of the Junggar Department?" Jiang Liang continued to ask.

    Liu Qin explained: "There is a tribe in Junggar Mongolia who nomads in the Yinli grassland. This tribe is also fighting with Yaerqiang soldiers and horses, but it is said that they have suffered a defeat."

    Regardless of the fact that Yao Le Gas was driven away by the Datong Army, but when he arrived in Dayuzi and Yinli, he was able to beat the forces there.

    Historically, if Yao Levas had not been assassinated, it would have been really difficult for the Junggar tribe to annex Yarkand.  If this person is given ten years to develop, he is very likely to unify the Yarkand Khanate.

    Liu Qin suddenly asked: "Where is the governor going to fight?"

    Jiang Liang thought for a while, and decided to answer half-truths: "The south occupied the land of Pamirs, and regained the Congling in the Tang Dynasty. As for the west, they conquered the territory of the Kyrgyz people. Now both places have been captured, and we don't plan to do so for the time being."  Keep marching."

    Liu Qin knew that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come, and excitedly said: "Commander, if the Western Regions want to be stable, there are two places that must be conquered."

    "Oh, which two places?" Jiang Liang smiled.

    Liu Qin said: "The first is the Yinli Valley, and the second is the Fergana Valley. If these two valleys are captured, the army of the Western Regions will not be short of food and grass. Moreover, these two valleys are also good for defense because they are surrounded by mountains.  where."

    Yin Li must be recovered, but Jiang Liang really didn't want to occupy the Fergana Valley.

    Jiang Liang asked: "In the Fergana Valley, I heard that the religion is very radical. I'm afraid it will not be easy to rule if it is defeated."

    Liu Qin explained: "No. There are radical sects and docile sects there. It is enough to support the docile ones and attack the radical ones. There are hundreds of races in the entire valley. As long as there is a strong army, they can be easily divided and governed. Moreover,  After taking the Fergana Valley, not only can we get enough food and grass, but Pamir Congling no longer needs garrisons."

    "Hundreds of races?" Jiang Liang was surprised. Tajik merchants didn't tell him about these things.

    Liu Qin immediately explained in detail: "There are three major races in the Fergana Valley, Uzbeks in the west, Kyrgyz in the north, and Tajiks in the south and east. In addition to these three major races, there are hundreds of minor races. All  Races, no matter nobles or commoners, all hated the brutal rule of the Bukhara Khanate."

    The information provided by Liu Qin was different from what Jiang Liang learned, and it was also different from what Lei Zhiji heard.

    However, this information can be aggregated!

    The Fergana Basin was later called the "Central Asian Powder Keg".

    Because the land there is rich, the products are rich, and it is sandwiched between various forces, there are more than 100 local ethnic groups.  Anyone who comes in to make a provocation, will easily explode if sparks are ignited, even in the, said that these tribes wanted to rebel, and finally simply said that the Tajiks wanted to rebel.

    After the incident became serious, this guy immediately went to the territory of the Gilligis.

    After visiting several tribes again, they spread the "truth" again, saying that all the Kyrgyz people in the north have defected to China.  The Kyrgyz people in the Fergana Basin have been bewitched by their kinsmen, and they plan to defect to help the Datong Army.

    In the end, Liu Qin was too lazy to go to the west again, and directly said that the Uzbeks in the west were going to rebel.

    This place was originally a powder keg, and King Blaha's violent expropriation had already sparked many uprisings.

    Now rumors are flying all over the sky, and the governor and the leaders of the ministries all know that someone is doing something.  However, the governor did not dare not believe it, and the leaders of the ministries did not dare to believe that the governor did not believe it.

    The Datong army has not arrived yet, and the fight is about to start here.

    The governor ordered that before winter, all ministries must lead troops to assemble, otherwise it will be regarded as malicious.

    The governor wanted to frighten the ministries, but the leaders of the ministries were terrified, thinking that the governor was going to act in advance.

    The most powerful Kokand Department directly killed the officials of Kokand City and announced that he had been appointed governor by the Chinese emperor.  This dude, really raised the flag to rebel

 Text 1052 [Caring for the homeland]

    The Kokand tribe who pulled the flag to rebel, the real name is the Minge tribe, whose ancestors moved from the Golden Horde, and claimed to be descendants of Shaybani.

    The Fergana Basin originally belonged to nomadic societies.

    More than 100 years ago, the Uzbeks brought farming technology, and now it has formed a state of farming and nomadism.

    Moreover, Hezhuo often serves as the leader of the tribe.

    As both He Zhuo and the leader of the tribe, it will be a matter of time before the regime is separated.  With the decline of the Bukhara Khanate, Hezhuo leaders are more inclined to stand on their own, in order to get rid of the king's exploitation of them.

    Mahmur, the leader of the Minger tribe, is a Hezhuo.

    This tribe is relatively large, with thousands of members, and is one of the ninety-two Uzbek tribes.

    The city of Kokand they conquered was just a small castle. Craftsmen and merchants lived outside the city, while farmers and herdsmen scattered in all directions.

    Inside the city of Kokand.

    An Uzbek businessman knelt in front of Makhmur tremblingly.

    Holding the handle of the knife, Mehmur questioned: "I have arrested many merchants, and I can finally confirm that you are the one who spread the rumors. Do you still dare to deny it?"

    "Nono, I also heard from others." The merchant was trembling with fright.

    Mehmur suddenly smiled: "Don't be afraid, I have killed the Bukhara officials, and I am willing to help the Squadron in combat. Tell me quickly, how to contact the Squadron."

    The merchant was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "Just send someone to Pamir."

    "Very well, I will send someone over there, and you will be responsible for leading the way," Mehmur said.

    After dismissing the merchants, Mehmur lost his smile and sat there alone with a cold expression.

    What he really wants is tribal independence. He hates the Khanate of Bukhara as much as China, which came from nowhere.  But then again, as long as his interests are protected, it doesn't matter which country rules.

    For this rebellion, rumors were only a catalyst, and the real reason was the king of Bukhara's excessive expropriation.

    He Zhuo, I have long wanted to rebel!

    Makhmur successively sent dozens of people to contact other Uzbek tribes.  Those Uzbek and Zhuo all expressed silence. To put it bluntly, they just waited and watched, neither cooperating with the governor to send troops to suppress the rebellion, nor helping Makhmur rebel.

    After all, the power of King Bukhara is still there

    Andijan.

    This is the birthplace of Babur, the founder of the Mughal Dynasty in India, and the core area of ??the Fergana Basin.

    Governor Mirza has gathered 10,000 elites here, and forced the nearby ministries to send 6,000 troops to kill Haohan City.  Whether the squadron comes or not, Mirza can no longer take care of it. He must put down the rebellion of Minge's department first.

    The army marched to the south of Namangan, and Mahmur received the news.

    Makhmur did not dare to resist, and immediately withdrew to the southern mountainous area with his tribe, which was the territory of the Tajiks.

    The Tajiks did not want to fight against the Ming forces, so they reached an agreement with Mahmur in private.  As long as the Minge tribe did not plunder along the way, the Tajiks would allow them to escape, otherwise they would definitely help the governor to destroy them.

    Ever since, the governor and the rebels began to go around in circles.

    And Makhmur's goal is to lead his tribe to escape to Congling, and to fight back with the help of the Chinese army

    Onion Ridge leads to the mountain pass of Fergana.

    Liu Qin, dressed as a merchant, joined the 3500 Datong army.

    Lei Zhiji, the missionary officer, personally held out a set of clothes: "Mr. Liu, this was ordered by the governor himself."

    Liu Qin cupped his hands and said, "Thank you!"

    After getting the clothes, Liu Qin changed clothes in the army. The clothes of Central Asian merchants soon changed into Confucian shirts, and they also wore square flat scarves.

    Seeing Liang Zhen and Lei Zhiji again, Liu Qin was a little embarrassed: "I have been far away from my homeland for several generations, and I don't even know how to wear the clothes of the Han family. I have to ask the army sergeant for help."

    Lei Zhiji handed over a scribe's sword: "If you have your homeland in your heart, why should you stick to your clothes."

    to be honest

    , Liu Qin was wearing a Confucian shirt, which looked really nondescript.  He was tall and thin at nearly 1.8 meters, and he was of Central Asian appearance, but he was very similar to those European officials in Nanjing.

    Riding forward, Liu Qin touched his clothes from time to time.

    As Ji Shan of Zhongshun Prince's Mansion, when his ancestors fled Hami, they brought a large collection of scriptures and history.  After fleeing Turpan, most of the ancient books of the Han family were lost.  When they migrated to Dayuzi, most of them were lost.

    By the time Liu Qin was bornp; This is the role of the senior guide, fighting with half the effort.

    Liang Zhen listened to Liu Qin's suggestion and led the army to the north. Sure enough, a large number of Jirijisi people came to seek refuge.  Among the three major ethnic groups in the entire basin, the Giligis belonged to the bottom of the oppressed group—the most wanted to rebel, but the least daring to rebel, and they desperately hoped for a big brother to take the lead.

    Historically, at the beginning of the establishment of the Kokand Khanate, it was the support of the Kyrgyz people that allowed the Kokand Khanate to gain a firm foothold.

    People from Jirijisi came to vote one after another, and Liang Zhen's army strength was already close to 50,000.

    After receiving the news, Governor Mirza no longer dared to chase the rebels, and hurried back with his troops to fight.  At the same time, Uzbek soldiers from the west were recruited along the way, and they brought back more than 40,000 people day and night.

    When Mirza arrived, Liang Zhen was already besieging Andijan.

    Andijan, an important node of the Silk Road, has seen countless wars over the past millennium, and now it has become a place of decisive battle to determine the ownership of the basin.

    The main force of Bukhara has a high rate of firearms, and Mirza has a musketeer team of 2,000 people.

    In addition, the proportion of cavalry is also high, and there are a large number of heavy cavalry.

    Dominating Central Asia is no joke!

    It's just that, how high is the morale of the army in a country that is about to fall apart?

    Even many cavalry and musketeers have been owed wages for a long time.

 Text 1053 [Brave and Valiant Rider]

    The camp built on the mountain has been surrounded by Braha's army.

    Soldiers of all ethnic groups who came to seek refuge were inevitably terrified, and it could even be said that they were panicked.

    As the former overlord of Central Asia, although Bukhara has become extremely decayed, there is still power left at this time, and many tribes under the rule dare not resist.

    On the second day after the encirclement of the camp, Governor Mirza came to call for battle.

    Liang Zhen observed with binoculars for a while, and immediately laughed: "It's actually this kind of army. Fortunately, we have few soldiers, and the enemy came to fight on their own initiative. Otherwise, it would be hard to chase after them if they were scared away."

    Lei Zhiji was also observing the enemy army, and asked with a puzzled look: "Bukhara has been established for more than a hundred years, but hasn't learned how to fight on foot?"

    Liu Qin couldn't understand what they were saying, so he asked, "Is there any weakness in the enemy army?"

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Liang Zhen and Lei Zhiji looked at each other and smiled.

    Lei Zhiji explained: "The enemy army doesn't have real infantry at all, and they don't know how to form a large infantry formation. It's their firecrackers, to put it bluntly, they are similar to our army's dragoons."

    This is a puzzling thing. The empire that has ruled Central Asia for more than a hundred years does not know how to arrange infantry formations.

    The army of Bukhara can be said to be all cavalry.

    Even infantry usually ride on horseback—here we only talk about the regular army, and the temporary recruited tribal armed forces are not counted.

    At this moment, the enemy infantry came outside the camp and dismounted one after another and began to line up.  From the perspective of a layman like Liu Qin, the formation seemed to be quite neat, but in the eyes of Liang Zhen, it was ridiculous.

    Some people say that the troops of the Qing Dynasty were mounted infantry, while the Bukhara army in front of them.  But it is a real dismounted cavalry.

    Moreover, although they were equipped with a large number of muskets, they did not see them carrying artillery when they attacked the camp.

    Lei Zhiji said: "It's a pity that our army traveled a long way and did not bring chariots. Otherwise, the enemy troops would not be able to enter if the chariots were deployed."

    "Not only chariots, but also artillery." Liang Zhen said.

    I didn't bring any artillery with a slightly larger caliber. This time I brought all the tiger crouching cannons, because the tiger crouching cannons can be carried by two people.

    Seeing that the squadron did not fight, Mirza finally ordered an attack.

    However, Mirza did not use the elite. After all, the Datong Army is well-known. He first used Uzbek tribal armies to find out the truth.

    The Uzbek soldiers who were sent up were all from tribes to the west, and they were fairly loyal to the King of Bukhara.  They were usually half-cultivating and half-grazing, but now they were attacking the camp. They dismounted and marched forward, with scimitars pinned to their waists, bows and arrows in their hands, and some soldiers had small shields on their arms.

    On the side of the Datong Army, the camp of tens of thousands of people cannot be defended by only 3,500 Chinese soldiers.

    Although the warriors from various tribes who came to seek refuge did not dare to fight in the field, they still had the courage to defend the camp.  The two sides fired at each other across the wooden fence, causing casualties to each other, and the attacking side naturally suffered heavier casualties.

    Mirza should be a veteran general. He asked the tribal soldiers to take turns to attack the camp. It seemed to be a very stupid refueling tactic, but he was testing the defensive weakness of the camp.

    Moreover, Mirza continued to deploy troops, trying to involve the mobilization of the defenders, so as to find a breakthrough to launch a general offensive.

    But the Datong Army has hot air balloons!

    The four hot air balloons rose, of course not to drop bombs, but to observe the entire battlefield from a commanding height.  

    The camp of the Datong Army was originally built on the mountain, and the terrain was higher than that of the attacking side.  With the use of hot air balloons, you can see the battlefield situation at a glance, and you can see how the enemy deploys troops.

    However, Mirza was in a low place, and the camp was covered by wooden fences, so many times he could only guess what was going on inside.

    After fighting for a whole day, Mirza launched more than ten attacks, which were always easily resolved by Liang Zhen.

    Because when any of Mirza's troops moved, Liang Zhen knew immediately, and dispatched troops to defend in advance.  Not only does it have the advantage of defending the camp, but it often accumulates partial victories by fighting more and fighting less.

    Seeing that Liang Zhen commanded like a god, the tribal soldiers who had come over for refuge saw that although there were already casualties, their morale was getting higher and higher.

    So far, the Datong Army has not moved, and has always been watching the battle as a reserve team.

    Mirza's core elite did not move, because they were all heavy cavalry and musketeers, and he would not let these soldiers die in a tough battle.

    ? During the three consecutive days of fighting, Mirza's side suffered close to 2,000 casualties, while the Datong Army only had more than 300 casualties.  They are all vassal troops of their own, as long as their morale doesn't collapse, no matter how many casualties there are, they don't feel bad.

    On the fourth day, Mirza stopped fighting and chose to besiege the camp, besieging the Datong army alive.

    After all, the Datong Army came from afar, and it is impossible to bring too much military rations.  The tribe that came overIt was gone, leaving only more than a hundred corpses.

    Mirza was annoyed at the cowardice of the soldiers, but instead of punishing them on the spot, he ordered two tribal cavalry to be dispatched.  He didn't want his elite to fight bloody, and planned to use the tribal cavalry as cannon fodder, and then ordered the elite to charge and kill while the Datong army was reloading their ammunition.

    "Cavalry attack!"

    Liang Zhen suddenly dispatched his cavalry and dispatched only 500 cavalry.

    Not to kill the Bukhara elite, but to help the tribal soldiers farther away.

    Seeing that the Datong cavalry carefully passed the rejected horse and ran towards the battlefield on the left, Mirza was a little confused about the situation.

    But he didn't bother to think about it too much. In Mirza's view, the big trouble was the Datong army, and the Chinese leader was in the infantry formation.  As long as the squadron is eliminated and the Chinese leader is killed, no matter how many rebellious tribes are left, he can easily destroy them.  

    Lu Zhaoyun, the commander of the cavalry battalion, led five hundred Datong Xiao cavalry, and immediately accelerated after passing the belt of rejecting horses.

    There has been a mess over there, shooting non-stop in a mess, and no tribe is willing to fight hand-to-hand if the opponent is not shot to flee.

    Lu Zhaoyun didn't care about this, he spotted an enemy army, and immediately rushed over desperately.  During the charge, more than a dozen cavalrymen of Datong were shot off their horses by the enemy's bows and arrows, and more cavalrymen were lost with arrows stuck in their armor.

    In a blink of an eye, Datong Xiaoqi rushed in, and the Uzbek tribe fled immediately.

    Seeing this, the nearby Tajik tribal cavalry immediately had high morale, and followed the Datong cavalry to chase and kill them.

    Dozens of enemy cavalry were hacked to death along the way, and the chased tribe turned to flee.  However, Lu Zhaoyun advanced straight forward, charging towards another group of enemies, and after that group of enemies fled, the nearby Gilligis cavalry also followed.

    Not long after, more and more tribal cavalry followed Datong Xiaoqi.

    The scattered tribal cavalry actually wanted to fight. After all, they had already rebelled. If they lost the war, they would definitely be settled by the governor.  But they lack a backbone, and without a backbone, they have to preserve their strength.

    On the other hand, the tribal cavalry under Governor Mirza's command, they were usually exploited by the king, and their willingness to fight with the governor was already the last loyalty to the king, and it was absolutely impossible to bleed for the king to the end.

    Under the leadership of Lu Zhaoyun, five hundred Datong cavalry continued to defeat the enemy troops along the way, and tribal cavalry continued to join them.

    At the end of the rush, only four hundred of the five hundred warriors remained, and nearly one hundred Chinese soldiers were buried here.  But the tribal cavalry behind them had gathered tens of thousands, and with the Datong cavalry as arrows, no one dared to stop them along the way.

    Mainly due to the previous melee, all the tribes who followed Mirza to fight were scattered, and they couldn't get together for a while.

    ?Mahmur also led Minger's cavalry and ran back to the battlefield in a circle. Seeing this, he couldn't help admiring: "What a brave warrior!"

    The Bukhara Qingqi who were chasing Makhmur's face changed drastically, and they fled to Mirza immediately in fright.

    The tribal cavalry behind Lu Zhaoyun gathered more and more, and finally rushed to Mirza's main formation.  More than 20,000 cavalrymen killed the sky and covered the sky, and the heavy cavalry around Mirza were terrified.

    As for

    Most of the tribal cavalry following Mirza had fled.

    "Attach the bayonet, the infantry strikes!"

    Liang Zhen personally led the infantry, inserted bayonets, crossed the rejected horses, and marched towards the enemy in an orderly manner.

    "My lord governor, run away, we have already lost!".

 Text 1054 [Infantry vs. Heavy Cavalry]

    Liu Qin hid in the camp with the peasants and craftsmen. At this time, he held a binoculars and looked at the battlefield with a smile.

    This battle is due to Liu Qin's contribution.

    When Governor Mirza besieged the camp, Liu Qin analyzed the situation on both sides.

    On the side of the Datong Army, there are 3,500 core elites.

    On the Bukhara side, there are about 10,000 core elites.

    The difference in the total strength of the two sides is not too far, both with a large number of tribal cavalry.

    Those tribal cavalry are poorly equipped, have low morale, and have different ideas, so it is difficult for them to fight bloody battles.

    But there is also a difference. The tribal cavalry who took refuge in the Datong Army really wanted to rebel in their hearts.  The tribal cavalry following Governor Mirza were purely on errands, and they would run away 100% in the event of a bloody battle.

    Liang Zhen listened to these words in his heart, so he had a specific plan.

    Since the tribal cavalry didn't understand the order of the Datong Army, they just threw it out to disrupt the battle.  Tens of thousands of cavalry on both sides are in chaos, and the width of the war is at least several miles, and the opponent's chief general can't even think about commanding remotely.

    At the same time, all the Datong army lined up, and Liang Zhen used himself as a bait to attract the elite of Bukhara.

    When the two sides were completely disrupted, everyone lost the chain of command.  Then, Datong Xiaoqi rushed out without orders at all, and purely relied on blood to fight, attracting his own tribal cavalry to follow.

    Five hundred Datong Xiaoqi, rushing like a snowball.  Your own tribal cavalry don't need to understand the orders, just follow behind.

    And the enemy's tribal cavalry, due to the previous chaos, had long been scattered around the battlefield.  It is impossible to regroup, and it will definitely not be able to withstand such a charge, and it will be broken one by one like a knife cutting tofu.

    There is only one loophole in the battle plan, that is, Governor Mirza, regardless of the Datong Army as a bait, directly led the elite cavalry to charge and kill the tribal cavalry from the very beginning.  But fortunately, Mirza looked down on those miscellaneous troops and only thought about destroying the Datong Army.

    At this moment, even the tribal cavalry who had been shot to pieces and had retreated to the edge of the battlefield rushed over under the leadership of the leader, wanting to join the Datong Xiaoqi's desperate charge.

    There are too many cavalry charging, and the battlefield cannot be lined up at all.

    Some tribal leaders took the initiative to go around and outflank the two sides, trying to eat all the elite of Governor Mirza.

    Mirza didn't run away, and this fellow became furious.

    He asked the cavalry musketeers and light cavalry to intercept Datong Xiaoqi's charge, and he personally led 3,000 heavy cavalry to kill the infantry led by Liang Zhen.

    As long as the main force of the Datong Army is destroyed, as long as the main general of the Datong Army is killed, no matter how many troops are left, they will be defeated!

    ?Three thousand Bukhara heavy cavalry charged desperately, as unstoppable as an overwhelming mountain.

    There were four to five thousand tribal cavalry who came to outflank.  But in the face of the charge of three thousand heavy cavalry, the morale that had just been boosted fell to the bottom in an instant, and the tribal leaders hurriedly blew their horns to dodge.

    Mirza held up his lance and shouted, "Long live the Great Khan, long live the Great Khan!"

    "Long live the sweat!"

    Three thousand heavy cavalry followed suit, but they didn't draw out their scimitars, and all of them held a spear in their hands.

    The distance between the two sides was still two to three hundred meters, Liang Zhen shouted: "Hollow array!"

    The command flag was waved, the bugle sounded, and the infantry of the Datong Army who were queuing up immediately stopped and quickly changed their formation.

    The ground was shaking, and the charge of three thousand heavy cavalry was terrifying.

    However, the soldiers of the Datong Army held their rifles steadily and looked at the enemy with a determined face.

    Mirza's face showed a sinister smile, three thousand heavy cavalry charged three thousand infantry, and the enemy general even created a thin hollow formation.  Mirza could imagine the ending. As long as his heavy cavalry rushed over, the infantry on the opposite side would panic and collapse.

    Those who are scattered at a distance of thirty steps can be regarded as elites.

    Those who collapsed at a distance of twenty steps can be called brave.

    The one who fled only ten steps away was completely defiant.

    The tribal cavalry who avoided the heavy cavalry charge did not go into battle at this moment, and they collectively looked at the infantry of the Datong Army.

    A leader of Giligis muttered to himself: "It's over, we are going to lose."

    There are only 20 steps left between the heavy cavalry and the hollow formation.

    The soldiers of the Datong Army still stood where they were, and the tribal leaders, while terrified, were also deeply moved: The Chinese army is really not afraid of death!

    Ten steps, only ten steps left.

    The Datong Army was still in order, no one escaped, and no one fired.

    Hollow formations can deal with cavalry, with emphasis on horses.

    The shining bayonet forest can makeBy the way, who let those tribes help the governor to fight the war?

    The chiefs of the Kyrgyz, Tajiks, and other weak ethnic groups all smiled happily.  They resented the king and the Uzbeks. Since Liang Zhen said that massacres are allowed, they must kill all those who help the tyrants.

    This is Liang Zhen's plan. He must weaken the strength of the Uzbeks and keep the three major ethnic groups in the basin in balance.

    This idea came from Liu Qin.

    Regardless of the fact that Liu Qin has never shown up, a few words can determine the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people.

    After resting for a whole day, Liang Zhen set off with the coalition forces of various ethnic groups.

    At the beginning, there were still rules, and the cities were laid down along the way, without killing innocent people indiscriminately.

    But after reaching the west of the basin, the soldiers of all ethnic groups turned into wolves, because Liang Zhen said that they could kill them at will.

    ?Since the governor has been killed, those Uzbek tribes are in a state of disunity, and they have no power to resist in the face of the coalition forces of all ethnic groups.  Tribes were slaughtered one after another, including women and children. A large amount of spoils were sent to Liang Zhen, and then distributed among the tribes participating in the battle.

    The number of Uzbeks who died in wars and massacres is about 50,000 to 60,000, and it may be close to 70,000.

    When attacking the city of Khujand, the soldiers of all ethnic groups were already red-eyed, and their morale was terribly high.  Because this is the last city, if you take this place, you will be able to control the throat of the Basin, which is the last chance to grab the spoils.

    Accompanied by the bombing of hot air balloons, soldiers of all ethnic groups desperately climbed the city, and when they rushed into the city, they killed indiscriminately.

    Throughout the Fergana Basin, the imperial court only had four cities: Khujand, Andijan, Fergana, and Osh.

    All of these four places will be stationed with troops, and outside the city, Han people will immigrate to settle down.

    50,000 immigrants come here and occupy fertile land. As long as military deterrence is maintained, the Han Chinese can multiply to more than one million.

    even more

 Text 1055 [chain reaction]

    ,

    The city of Bukhara.

    One bad news came after another, King Abdullah Aziz didn't care at first, he thought that 3,000 heavy cavalry were enough to guard the Fergana Basin.

    But the soldiers and Uzbek herdsmen kept fleeing back, and finally brought the news of the governor's defeat and death.

    The whole country was shocked!

    ? Abdullah Aziz is not a pure fool, he is somewhat similar to Tang Minghuang.  He also worked hard to govern when he was young, and the Astrakhan Dynasty of the Bukhara Khanate reached its peak in his hands.

    Then, he began to be self-willed, to rule the country according to his preferences, and to spend extravagantly and indulge in pleasure.

    "How many enemies are there? How did my heavy cavalry be defeated?" Aziz personally received the fleeing light cavalry. As for the heavy cavalry, the entire army had already been wiped out, and none of them escaped in heavy armor.

    A light cavalry said: "The governor asked us to stop the tribal rebels. I didn't see how the heavy cavalry was defeated."

    Several light cavalrymen said this, and finally someone said: "I saw it. The enemy's muskets have a dagger installed in front of them. All the infantry lined up with muskets instead of daggers. The heavy cavalry rushed over and the horses slowed down.  was shot at close by by the musketeers."

    Aziz was surprised: "Did the musketeers not flee in the face of the heavy cavalry charge?"

    "No." The man replied.

    Aziz looked at his minister: "Who can crack this method of warfare?"

    A minister who knew the soldiers said: "The horse helmets of the heavy cavalry completely exposed the eyes. You can modify the horse helmets to cover half of the horse's eyes, so that the horses can only see the ground one step ahead. In this way, the horses will  They won’t slow down, and they can only see the enemy’s weapons when they get close. At that time, the horses couldn’t stop even if they wanted to.”

    "Yes, order the craftsmen to transform the horse helmet," Aziz said, "Call out troops from all over the country, and send troops next spring to take back Fergana!"

    The minister in charge of finance said: "Khan, there is not enough money and food."

    Aziz said, "Then tax it."

    The Minister of Finance reminded: "Great Khan, taxes in various places have been increased to the limit, and if taxes are increased, there will definitely be rebellions."

    But Aziz said: "It's not like raising taxes all the time, just increasing taxes for two years. In order to regain the land, shouldn't the subjects contribute to the Khanate?"

    "Yes." The Chancellor of the Exchequer withdrew silently.

    Another minister said: "Great Khan, the Khiva Khanate in the west has been eroding our pastures in recent years. On the border of our country, there are also Turkmen tribes who have defected to the Khiva Khanate with pastures. If you want to march next year, you must stay  Some troops, to prevent the Khiva Khanate from taking advantage of the gap."

    Aziz said angrily: "Those damned Turkmen rats don't want to live in the mighty Bukhara, but go to the weak Khiva country. Are they all fools?"

    No one dared to answer.

    Of course it was the king who taxed too much, which forced the tribe to surrender to the enemy.

    At this time, the Khiva Khanate was ruled by a benevolent king.  Not only are the taxes very low, but they are also committed to reconciling ethnic conflicts. The leaders of all ethnic groups are very convinced of King Shiva.

    Comparing the two, a fool knows who to rely on.

    Aziz ordered the levy of a war tax. After the news spread, the reactions of officials and people from all over the country were more excited than hearing that the Fergana Basin fell.

    The governors of various places cooperated very well, and they cooperated too much.

    If the king levies a penny of tax, they can collect a dime, and the specific tax collector can collect a penny.

    The northwestern part of the Bukhara Khanate is full of dry grasslands and deserts.  The tribes here are already struggling to survive, and suddenly they have to pay a large amount of war taxes, which directly drives them back.

    Especially the tribes close to the Khiva Khanate, they took their territories and went to the past.

    Anusha, the Wenqing king of the Khiva Khanate, was overjoyed to hear the news, and quickly sent people to reward the defectors, and ordered to gather troops to prepare for battle.

    Immediately afterwards, Anusha received news that China had occupied the Fergana Basin.

    "Order all the armies not to cross the border, and don't take the initiative to fight," Anusha said happily. "Let Braha fight with China, no matter whether we win or lose, it will be good for us. Also, send someone to contact the nearby  Our tribes of the Khanate of Bukhara, tell them that I will not impose heavy taxes. Any race will be treated well as long as they come here."

    After making a decision, Anusha took out the Persian version of the "Tao Te Ching" and studied it seriously in the palace.

    The Chinese version of the "Tao Te Ching" was obtained from the envoy Xie Yuan.  Anusha spent a lot of money to invite a Bo who had been to Nanjing?? 

    This war was fought from summer to early winter.

    The defenders of Khiva City are almost running out of food, and if they continue to defend, they can only eat people.  Bukhara, as the attacker, was equally miserable, and the most deadly thing was the resurgence of domestic rebellion.

    The domestic rebellion made it impossible for Aziz to continue fighting, but he was unwilling to withdraw directly, so he sent an envoy to the city to say: "We can evacuate Khiva, but the Khiva Khanate must compensate for the losses and send all the food we consumed.  And make sure that the Khiva Khanate will no longer take in defecting tribes."

    Anusha's answer was straightforward: "Kill this man!"

    Killing the envoy is tantamount to tearing up the face, and there is no possibility of peace.

    After suffering for more than half a month, the rebel forces in the country became more and more powerful. Aziz finally ignored face and ordered the entire army to withdraw to the country to quell the chaos.

    However, Anusha was not reluctant. After the Bukhara army left, he raised food as quickly as possible, and led the troops of various ethnic groups who came to King Qin to chase the tail of the Bukhara army.

    The two sides fought a decisive battle on the border between the two countries. The Khiva Khanate was originally at a disadvantage, but a noble in Bukhara suddenly defected.

    It was the brother of the nobleman who couldn't stand the king and decided to separate himself from the kingdom and secretly sent a letter to contact him to do things in the army.

    As a result, Aziz was defeated and fled with only a few thousand elites.

    The Khiva Khanate took advantage of the trend to occupy the western border grassland of Bukhara and swallowed up all the territory in the northwest of Bukhara (there is actually no value there, either it is a dry grassland or a large desert).

    However, King Aziz of Bukhara, after fleeing back to the capital, was unable to suppress the rebellion, so he could only send officials to Zhao'an.

    Zhao'an was very successful, and the rebels surrendered immediately. What they wanted was to separate themselves.

    ?The governors and Hezhuo all over the country have separated their regimes one after another and no longer obey the king's orders. Aziz can only control the capital and surrounding areas.

    ? Just for one's own use, everyone betrays relatives!

    Especially the Governor of Samarkand, who flirts with the Datong Army, is very happy to run the Silk Road together.

 Body 1056 [New Guinea and Australia]

    ,

    When Liang Zhen led his army to attack the Fergana Basin, the main force of the Datong Army was dividing troops to attack Urumqi and Balikun.

    Both places are fertile soil that can be cultivated, but at this time they are all nomadic tribes, and the cities built in the Yuan Dynasty have long been abandoned.

    When the Datong army reached Urumqi, the local tribes fled directly.

    Among them, the Kuben Nuo Yat tribe fled to the northwest to join Junggar.  Galdan Dorji tribe fled to the northeast to join Heshuote.

    The Datong Army did not chase after it, and directly placed 5,000 civilians here, and rebuilt a new city on the site of Bali City in Yangji in the Yuan Dynasty.  This is the bridgehead for the attack on northern Xinjiang. The Datong army is on an expedition, and they are unable to go north in a short time. Controlling the Urumqi area is for the future.

    Another Datong army that attacked Balikun also encountered no resistance.

    The nine brothers who escaped from Qinghai at the beginning have died of old age and disease, and only four are left.  They had been terrified by the Datong army for a long time, so they directly abandoned the Balikun Basin and moved further north to avoid the front of the army.

    The Datong Army also did not pursue, and immigrated and built a city in Barkol as a bridgehead for future attacks on northern Xinjiang.

    Seeing that the Datong Army stopped in the two places, Galdan, who was nested and Buxar, took action.  Balikun's Heshuote tribe moved northward, and inevitably competed with the northern tribe for pastures. As a result, the Heshuote tribe fell into civil strife, and Galdan led his army to attack immediately.

    Galdan won three battles and three victories, and the Heshuo Special Department was forced to surrender.  After this guy unified northern Xinjiang, he actually declared the establishment of the Junggar Khanate, blatantly ignoring the existence of the Nanjing court.

    Northern Xinjiang has not yet been taken, nor has the Yinli River Valley, but the money, food and immigrants have been almost consumed.

    Jiang Liang applied for an additional 50,000 immigrants while applying for the allocation of money and food.

    When the cabinet ministers received the news, they all felt that the Western Regions were a bottomless pit, and when tens of millions of taels of silver were thrown in, they saw a splash. In addition to military expenses, immigration and city building were too expensive.

    The imperial court is heavily in debt and owes a huge loan to Datong Bank, and a lot of that money comes from private storage.

    Zhu Shunshui retired from his old age and returned to his hometown. Before leaving Nanjing, he privately advised in the imperial palace: "Your Majesty, most of the Western Regions have been recovered, and the rest can be taken care of slowly. The debt owed by the imperial court today is so huge that it has never been heard in the past. It must not  . . . militaristically!"

    "It must be done once and for all." Zhao Han replied.

    Zhu Shunshui sighed secretly, it is not good to persuade, because persuasion is useless.

    He is a little confused about the current financial model. The imperial courts of the past dynasties fought wars, and if they did not have enough money, they would levy additional taxes, or collect salt and iron to make a fortune, and the civilians would expropriate without pay.  The current Datong imperial court actually borrowed money from the bank to fight the war, and did not use the money in the treasury, and even paid a small amount of wages for recruiting civilians.

    However, people's livelihood in China has not been greatly affected, except for a slight increase in food prices.

    ?Zhu Shunshui retired from old age and returned to his hometown, and Wu Yingji was also weak and sick. They both retired, and Zuo Xiaoliang and Wang Tiaoding moved into the cabinet to assist in the administration.

    The imperial court once again issued an order to encourage people from the southern provinces to immigrate, and it also publicized in the newspapers, hailing the Yinli River Valley and the Fergana Basin as the pearls of the Western Regions and fortified in the south of the Yangtze River.  In the past, the land was allocated to immigrants, and they could work as officials after graduating from elementary school, and bachelors could also be assigned to wives of different races.

    In the southern provinces, the conflict between people and land has become a little obvious, and there are always people who are willing to immigrate.

    Especially for bachelors with too many brothers in the family, the land allocated in the past can only maintain food and clothing.  After they immigrated, they were able to leave a sum of money to settle down and improve their family's living conditions, so they might not have thought of going to the Western Regions.

    In the year when immigration was encouraged, tens of thousands of people signed up one after another.

    Five thousand of them immigrated to the Fergana Basin, where it has been renamed Dawan Military and Civilian Mansion.  The remaining thousands are planned to be placed in Yinli, and next year they will attack the Yinli River Valley.

    Although the battle has not yet ended, the imperial court has officially established the Anxi Protectorate.

    Among them, Dunhuang and other places were placed under Gansu Province.

    In the Hami and Balikun areas, the Yihe Military and Civilian Mansion was established, which is affiliated to the Anxi Duhu Mansion.

    In the Turpan and Urumqi areas, the Cheshi Military and Civilian Mansion was established, which is affiliated to the Anxi Duhu Mansion.

    ? In Aksu, Hotan, Kashgar, Yarkand and other places, the Shache Military and Civilian Mansion was established, which was subordinate to the Anxi Duhu Mansion.

    In the Congling and Dawan areas, the Dawan Military and Civilian Mansion was established, which was subordinate to the Anxi Governor's Mansion.

    Kyrgyzstan and Yinli River Valley are planning to set up the Yinli Military and Civilian Mansion, which is affiliated to the Anxi Governor's Mansion.

    ?After taking over the northern border and operating it for another ten or twenty years, the Anxi Dufu may be divided into two.  On the east side, establish Xinjiang Province.  The area to the west will continue to be governed by the Protectorate's Mansion, and then consider the establishment of a province.

    Households in each provinceDeep, but more reddish brown.  And the people on Nanman Island (New Guinea) are already leaning towards blackness, only a little better than the black people in Africa.  "

    "Do the natives of Changsheng Island have headhunting and cannibal customs?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.

    Li Quan shook his head and said: "I haven't encountered cannibals yet, and Changsheng Island is too big, and the indigenous tribes are very different. Some tribes already know how to build stone houses; some tribes still live in thatched huts and caves. Once,  Frightened by some native tribe!"

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked: "But want to attack outsiders?"

    Li Quan explained: "No, they are very hospitable. When we went ashore to look for fresh water, we met a tribe who used stone tools. They seemed to be holding some kind of ceremony. The man broke open the frog's belly with a stone knife, and the woman took the giant frog  Just bite. Except for the internal organs and frog skin, the rest is swallowed alive by the woman."

    "You hair drinks blood." Zhao Kuanghuan sighed.

    "Those women are seeking children," Li Quan said. "Frogs lay a lot of eggs, and the local indigenous people worship them very much. They think that women can have more children by eating giant frogs. We went up to ask about the source of water, but we couldn't figure it out after a long time.  The aborigines took us back to the tribe and invited us to dinner. They brought us blood-soaked snakes, lizards, geckos, etc. Some aborigines came over with sharp spears, pointing at the pregnant women and chattering. We were all scared  When we arrived, we thought we had encountered cannibals, so we hurriedly fled back to the seaside.”

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked: "Aren't they cannibals?"

    Li Quan shook his head and said: "No. Later, when we were looking for water sources, we happened to see the women of this tribe fetching water. After talking for several days, I probably figured out that the indigenous people are really inviting us to dinner. They are very kind and enthusiastic.  , but can't eat cooked food, and don't even know how to make a fire."

    Zhao Kuanghuan felt that it was so unbelievable that there are people who can't even light a fire.

    Li Quan said: "We lit a fire and roasted an animal that looked like a big mouse, was as tall as a human, and had a pouch on its stomach. After it was roasted, we sprinkled salt and invited the natives to taste it. The natives were very happy after eating it.  Learn how to make a fire with us, and exchange skins for salt."

    Zhao Kuanghuan said: "The natives who don't know how to light fire also know how to treat guests to dinner. It seems that not all the savages are evil. In the future when colonizing this island, we can routinely educate them, choose good savages and tame them.?

 Text 1057 [The prince understands the people's sentiments]

    ,

    Prince Zhao Kuanghuan landed at Lushunkou.

    When Zhu Yuanzhang regained Liaodong, he landed across the sea here, and renamed Shishikou to Lushunkou.

    Lushun means smooth travel.

    Throughout Daming, Lushun is the most important seaport in Liaodong, and a large number of Northeast local products are transported to Shandong from here.  Commodities from the north and the south were also transported from Shandong to Lushun, and then spread to the entire northeast region.

    The Datong imperial court immigrated to the Northeast for many years, and incorporated the Jurchen and Mongolian households into Qimin, and now there are more than one million people in Liaoning Province.  Although the population is definitely not as good as that of the Ming Dynasty, the business is more prosperous, which can be seen from the prosperity of Lushun Port.

    Before Zhao Kuanghuan got off the boat, he saw the bustling scene of the pier.

    There is no lever crane here yet, everything is carried by manpower.  And the wages are comparable to those in Shanghai. After all, Liaoning is full of land waiting to be cultivated. The population of cities and docks is small, and there are few people who are willing to carry out contract labor.

    Most of the pearls, furs, and even Siberian specialties from the Heilongjiang River Basin are imported to the mainland through Lushunkou.

    Before the prince entered the port, there were already warships clearing the harbor, and all merchant ships had to get out of the way.  After all, merchant ships are allowed to carry six small cannons. What if there is someone who doesn't have a good eye and fires a few shots at the Prince's ship?

    Immediately afterwards, the pier also opened up a channel, and the busy commercial activities stopped instantly.

    Under the protection of the guards, Zhao Kuanghuan slowly came to the shore.  Seeing that everyone was driven away, he felt a little unhappy, but he also understood the guards' work.

    "That tall man, call him over." Zhao Kuanghuan pointed to a coolie in the distance.

    When the coolie was brought before the prince, he was a little nervous and agitated, subconsciously wanting to kneel down and bow down, Zhao Kuanghuan supported him with his own hands.

    "How much is the monthly salary?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.

    The coolie replied: "When it is more, it is five or six yuan, and when it is less, it is two or three yuan."

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked: "How is the grain price this year?"

    The coolie replied: "Packing rice costs two cents a catty, and wheat seven cents a catty, both are more expensive than last year."

    "What is rice?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.

    The entourage next to him whispered: "Your Highness, rice is corn."

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked again: "Where is the rice?"

    The coolie said: "There are few rice growers in Liaoning, and the price is so expensive that the poor can't afford it."

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked again: "How many people are there in the family?"

    The coolie gradually became less nervous, and said like beans poured out of a bamboo tube: "My father came here in the sixth year of the Republic of China. The government helped marry my mother. My mother used to be a slave of the Tartars. There is an elder brother in the family, and several younger brothers and sisters."  , all of them were allocated land in the countryside. I am not good at farming, and I am not good at reading, so I come to this pier to carry bags. Although it is a bit tiring, it is much faster than farming to make money. I also got my wife three years ago and got married for two years  I have no children, I gave birth to twins not long ago, and my wife is still confinement at home."

    "Can one person support a family?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.

    The coolie grinned and said, "It's a good day. My wife is confinement, and I bought her chicken stew to eat. Back home in the country, I will bring money back to honor my parents during the Chinese New Year. I have already saved more than ten yuan in Datong Bank.  I can still eat bank interest every month. I am renting a house now and plan to buy a house next year."

    "It is indeed a good day to have a wife, a house, and children." Zhao Kuanghuan laughed.

    The coolie smiled and said, "It's all thanks to the blessing of the Long Live God."

    After going back for dozens of steps, Zhao Kuanghuan pointed to a middle-aged man and called him over for questioning.

    "What do you do for a living?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.

    The middle-aged man replied: "Reporting to Your Highness, Cao Min is running the business for the owner."

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked, "What kind of business are you running?"

    The middle-aged man replied: "In the beginning, wild ginseng was harvested in Shenyang and Liaoyang, and shipped to Lvshun for sale. Later, it started to collect fur, and the business of the owner became bigger and bigger. A few years ago, I went to Hailan to make a split.  Number."

    "I didn't ask my boss, I asked yourself." Zhao Kuanghuan said.

    The middle-aged man said: "Caomin is the third treasurer of the Lushun branch. He specializes in dealing with southern merchants and selling goods from the northeast to the south."

    The big shopkeeper can be understood as the general manager, the second shopkeeper is equivalent to the director of finance and administration, and the third shopkeeper is responsible for sales and operations.

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked: "How much is your monthly salary?"

    The middle-aged man replied in detail: "The monthly salary is 15 yuan, and there is a red reward at the end of the year. If it is a big business, the boss will give you another reward."

    Zhao Kuanghuan laughed and said, "Then you are considered rich."

    The middle-aged people also said: "Thanks to the blessing of the Long Live God, we have caught up with the good times.Haha.  " Zhao Kuanghuan was amused by these words.

    It can only be said that there are too many veterans in Liaodong, some are disabled and some are old.  The society here is relatively pure, not as complicated as in the south. If something happens, the veterans really dare to bring farmers and soldiers to confront the officials.

    It is not enough to count the number of provinces in the south. Veterans are not counted, and it is more convenient to find certain jobs.

    "Is there a school in the village?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.

    Li Baogui said: "There was none before. Firstly, it was difficult to find a teacher, and secondly, there were not many children in the village. A small school was built five years ago, and the government did not pay much. Every brick and tile was built by the villagers. The school  Here, there is only one teacher who teaches from the first grade to the third gradenot very well."

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked: "What's wrong?"

    Li Baogui said: "It has been five years, and there are two batches of those who have finished elementary school, but only one child has received a diploma, and the rest are all school certificates."

    Zhao Kuanghuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, the teachers here are really not very good.

    Whoever makes elementary school graduates has an elimination rate of more than 50%. It's not like you can graduate if you pass the exam.

 Text 1508 [Recalling the past]

    ,

    In the south of Liaohetao, there is a Xining Fort.

    The fort is adjacent to the Sancha River and the Great Wall of Liao Dynasty. It is a small water and land hub.

    Around Xining Fort, there were many military households living in the Ming Dynasty, but now they have changed.  The fort is still there, the water and soil will last forever, and the residents living in this land have completely changed into a new look.

    The Liao State Mansion was built next to Baozi, which used to be the house of the Pang family.

    After Pang Chunlai retired and returned to his hometown, he has been looking for his relatives and fellow villagers.  I really couldn't find my relatives, but my fellow countrymen found a few, and I felt a little relieved.

    In early summer, the weather is just right.

    There was a reclining chair in the yard. The guards carried Pang Chunlai to the courtyard, and with the help of several servants, he carefully placed him on the reclining chair to bask in the sun.

    The Duke of Liao was paralyzed, and even lost his mind in severe cases.

    The spirit seemed to be better this day, Pang Chunlai grinned, and his words were a little awkward: "Qingya, do you still remember that we went to Shandong together to catch the exam?"

    Li Mengsi, style name Qingya, like Pang Chunlai, is a descendant of a hereditary military officer of the Ming Dynasty.

    When the Tartars came, Li Mengsi fled to Guannei, and then to Shaanxi, where he went to his father's old robe.  At that time, Li Mengsi was also in the army, and Li Mengsi was also in the army. Later, he returned to Shaanxi and went south to avoid Li Zicheng.

    Going around, Li Mengsi became a citizen of the new dynasty, returned to Liaodong in response to the immigration policy, settled in the land, and worked hard to study.

    Due to the lack of educated people, it was learned that Li Mengsi had been a juren, and the local officials even hired him as a teacher.

    From the newspaper, Li Mengsi knew that his former classmate became the Duke of the state, but he still lives in the country and teaches in elementary schools.  The county opened a middle school, and Li Mengsi was transferred to teach in the middle school. When he retired, he was already the principal of the county middle school.

    Li Mengsi's body is still in good health. He took the tea from the maid, looked at the blue sky and fell into memory: "At that time, other scholars all went by sea, and we went by land together. We traveled all the way to the rivers and mountains of Daming.  Shanhaiguan, visit North Zhili, take the canal from Tianjin to Shandong."

    A smile appeared on Pang Chunlai's face. Due to hemiplegia, the smile was rather stiff: "Do you still remember the daughter-in-law of Pingshan Wei Deng's conductor?"

    "Why don't you remember?" Li Mengsi also laughed, "Your father and Commander Deng are old acquaintances. When you passed through Dongchang Mansion, you went to pay a visit with a famous badge, and Commander Deng stayed with us for a few days. The daughter of the Deng family, young  Fang Shiwu is not yet married. When we met for the first time, your eyes were straight."

    Pang Chunlai wanted to laugh, but he couldn't open his mouth wide: "Your eyeballs almost fell to the ground."

    Li Mengsi shook his head amusedly: "You and I fought over jealousy. I didn't have a marriage contract at the time, and it was time for me to pursue a beautiful woman. You have a marriage contract, but you still want to rob me. It's really shameless."

    Pang Chunlai recalled: "I still remember that she was wearing a green lake silk blouse, which was a new style popular in Yangzhou. The sleeves were narrower, fresh and neat. The hair accessories were not cumbersome, only a jade hairpin was inserted, and the pendant was  It is a lake pearl, swaying with the wind when we walk. We rushed in the door recklessly, and almost bumped into her"

    Li Mengsi said: "It seems that you are sincere. Decades have passed, and you can still remember it so clearly. I have forgotten the appearance of Younger Brother Deng, and I can't remember what clothes she was wearing. I can only vaguely remember her rolling her eyes.  That pretty appearance, cute and cute, hahahaha!"

    "Well, I don't know if she is still alive now." Pang Chunlai sighed.

    Li Mengsi said: "I hope the old man is well."

    Pang Chunlai asked someone to inquire, only to know that his first love married and went to Yanzhou, and fled to Jiangsu with his husband's family.  At that time, the soldiers were in turmoil, and the plague was still prevalent, so it was unknown if he died on the way.

    The two were silent and no longer spoke.

    After a long time, Li Mengsi suddenly said: "I have often dreamed in the past two years. I dreamed that I would return to the last year of Wanli. When the snow melted in spring, we, a classmate of health school, met to go for a horseback ride. We talked about killing Tartars and serving the country with a smile. My brother Li Mengzhou  , it seems that he has never turned to Tartar for treason, he is still the hot-blooded boy back then."

    "Don't mention mention him, cough, cough, cough!" Pang Chunlai suddenly became agitated, and the muscles on his face were trembling.

    Pang Chunlai adopted four sons and one daughter. The daughter is married, and the three sons are officials in other places. Only the youngest son is by his side to fulfill his filial piety.

    At this time, the youngest son helped him to sit up, and patted Pang Chunlai's back to smoothen his air.

    However, Li Mengsi kept crying, as if recalling the unbearable past.  Suddenly, Li Mengsi covered his face with his hands, and his whole upper body lay on his lap, sitting there sobbing and crying alone.

    "Dangdang, Dangdang!"

    Someone knocked on the door of the shop outside, and asked as he walked on the door: "Who is it?"

    &nThe common people dredged the river and built embankments, and the Changguang Road in this county has been reopened.  "

    "What is Changguang Dao?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.

    Chen Huanliang said: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Liao River and the Daliao River were still one in the Yuan Dynasty. In the fifth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the river course was divided into two, namely the Liao River and the Daliao River. The Daliao River was newly separated, and the surrounding water network was complicated.  Due to sedimentation, the river bed is gradually raised and the river course is constantly changing. The area in central Liao is mostly swamps, also known as Liaoze."

    "During the Ming Dynasty, the roads and rivers were dredged, and the Changguang Road was built, starting from Haizhou in the east and reaching the county in the west. If the goods in the pass were to go by land, they had to take the Changguang Road in this county before they could be transported to Haizhou and Shenyang. Ming Dynasty  At the end of the day, due to the siltation of the river and the flooding of the river, the Changguang Road was abandoned, and Chongzhen and the Tatars were unable to repair it."

    "I am going to recover Liaodong, and most of the materials will be taken by sea, so there is no rush to restore the Changguang Road. In recent years, the population of Liaodong has increased day by day, and the restoration of land transportation is imminent. Therefore, the province issued a decree to restore the Changguang Road. Yu Zhifu let  Our two counties worked together to dredge and restore traffic."

    "The restoration of Changguang Road in this county is half a year faster than the construction period in neighboring counties, and it does not disturb the residents too much."

    Zhao Kuanghuan nodded in approval: "Good!"

    Like the Yellow River, the Daliao River has a lot of sediment and often diverts its course.  Even in New China hundreds of years later, the Daliao River has been diverted three times.

    At this time, the Daliao River and the nearby water network are full of swamps.

    The Ming Dynasty has been draining the swamp water to turn the swamp into arable land.  At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the war was busy, the river collapsed, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty did not dredge, the river overflowed and poured, and the area of ??the swamp gradually increased.

    Today's Datong New Dynasty is busy draining marshes, clearing wasteland, dredging rivers, and cleaning up water networks.

    Don't talk about protecting wetlands, productivity has not yet developed to that point.

    Chen Huanliang said proudly: "This county is the county that grows the most rice in the entire Northeast. Most of the reclaimed swamps have turned into fertile fields, which can feed countless people."

 Text 1059 [Saints are ruthless]

    ,

    The word Liaoze changed with the change of dynasties.

    From the end of Tang Dynasty to the end of Song Dynasty, Liaoze refers to the plain swampland south of Shenyang, and occasionally refers to the swamp wetland of Xiliao River.

    When the West Liaohe Plain was in the Liao Kingdom, due to over-cultivation, the swamp directly turned into a desert.

    So in the Ming Dynasty, Liaoze specifically refers to the marsh zone of the Lower Liaohe Plain.  In the long run, not only did the swamp there not shrink, but it continued to expand as the sediment silted up and the river overflowed.  At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the people who broke through the Guandong vigorously reclaimed the swampland, which made Liaoze shrink rapidly, but the real and thorough improvement was still in New China.

    Because the root of governing Liaoze is systematic river management!

    At this very moment, the governor of Liaohe is in Shenyang, and he has already come up with a comprehensive plan, and the restoration of Changguang Road is only the first step of the project.

    By the Liao River.

    Tian Tiaoyuan, governor of Liaohe River, pointed to the river map that was unfolded by his subordinates and said: "Your Highness, I spent six months visiting and investigating the surrounding waters of Liaoze. The root cause of Liaoze's continuous expansion is that the upstream grassland has turned into a desert.  The Liao River is just like the Yellow River, carrying a large amount of sediment alluvial downstream. The river bed is constantly rising, and the river course is constantly changing, and it is prone to flooding at every turn."

    "First, delineate a no-reclamation and no-grazing area in the upper reaches. The Mongols are not allowed to graze, and the Han people are not allowed to reclaim it, so as to prevent the desert from continuing to grow."

    "Secondly, the existing river network was formed in the Ming Dynasty, which is extremely unstable and prone to flooding. Among them, the Hun River and Taizi River carry less sediment, so they can retain their original channels and still flow into the Sancha River into the sea.  The main trunk of the Liaohe River must be moved westward. According to the direction of the terrain, the river is dug and drained in the valley on the west side of Shalingyi. There is already a river from Xixingbao there. The main trunk of the Liaohe River must be diverted there, and the two rivers will meet and flow through Panshan (Panjin  ) into the sea."

    "Thirdly, after the two Liao Rivers in the east and west are fixed, embankments will be built along the rivers."

    Zhao Kuanghuan said: "It's a big project."

    Tian Tiaoyuan said: "So at the beginning of the founding of the country, there was no governance of the Liao Dynasty. At least 100,000 civilians had to be mobilized. At that time, there was not enough manpower. The total population of the three counties involved is nearly 400,000.  The river is feasible. The imperial court has decreed that the people who participate in the river control can reduce the family tax by half. If there are more than two males in a family, the family tax can be exempted for the year."

    To put it bluntly, no wages are paid, but land taxes are reduced or exempted.

    After all, if the Liaohe River is well managed, the local people will also benefit, and the people are willing to work hard for a year or two.

    Zhao Kuanghuan said: "If the chronic diseases of Liaoze can be cured, the Northeast will be safe. After a hundred years, only these three counties will be able to reproduce millions of Han people. Which tribe in the Northeast would dare to rebel?"

    Tian Tiaoyuan said: "Not only that, after the main trunk of the Liaohe River moves westward, there will not be so much sediment in the east. The river will wash away the sediment into the sea for a long time, and the water level of the Sancha River will be deeper. It only takes 20 to 30 years of scouring, and the Sancha River will be washed away for a long time.  A seaport can be built at the mouth of the river. At that time, the goods in the grassland can also be directly shipped to the seaside."

    What does it mean that the goods from the Liaohe Grassland can be directly loaded into the sea?

    It means that the Mongols there rebelled, and the southern army can cross the sea to the mouth of the Sancha River, and then take an inland river boat to the grassland to suppress the rebellion!

    Zhao Kuanghuan looked at the map thoughtfully.

    He raised his head and looked around again. There was a large swamp in the distance. In the not-too-distant future, it seemed that it would all become fertile fields.

    "River engineering and water conservancy are a major national event." Zhao Kuanghuan said with emotion.

    Tian Tiaoyuan smiled and said: "The treasury must be abundant, otherwise where will the money come from to build water conservancy projects in the Northeast? In the Ming Dynasty, for more than two hundred years, there was no funding for the management of the Liaohe River and Liaoze except for the construction of the Changguang Road.  It is remote here, there are long and broad roads to connect with traffic, and there is no need to spend more money and food to manage it."

    "Indeed," Zhao Kuanghuan nodded and said, "If the Ming Dynasty could allocate funds to clean up Liaoze, I'm afraid the Tartars would not be so easy to revolt. Alas, it can't be said that the Northeast is rotten at the end of the Ming Dynasty. I'm afraid it won't be able to suppress Liaoze  Tartars arise."

    Back at the Duke of Liao, Zhao Kuanghuan told Pang Chunlai all about today's situation.

    Pang Chunlai was still lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, looking at the crown of trees above his head, he said: "It is a good thing to be able to cure Liaoze, but the stability of the Northeast depends on the government. If the government is clean, the world will be fine. If the government is corrupt, thieves will swarm. Young  When I was young, I was ignorant and felt that everything was normal. I couldn’t see the countless military households in Liaodong, whose lives were worse than beggars. I also couldn’t see the countless soldiers in Liaodong, who were just servants of hereditary military officials.”

    "This kind of army can't fight. People like this will go to the Tartars instead. Even if Ming Dynasty cured Liaoze, there would be a million more Han people, but they would be nothing more than a group of military slaves. Maybe they would rebel themselves.  "

    Zhao Kuanghuan echoed: "Old manThat's right.  "

    Pang Chun said: "If you are a king or an official, you must look down. You can't just look up at the sky and try to figure out the will of heaven. You can't look down on all living beings and treat everyone in the world as a dog. You have to step off the high platform and stand on the flat ground.  Integrate into all living beings and see what the common people want. This truth is what I wanted to understand on the way to escape after the fall of Liaodong.”

    Zhao Kuanghuan said: "The people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the least."

    "Everyone will say this, but it is difficult to actually do it," Pang Chunlai taught Dundun, "You grew up with a golden key in your mouth, no matter how close you are to the people, you can't understand the suffering of the people. Your father and I are  What I have personally experienced and witnessed. Corrupt officials, powerful gentry, exploitation and oppression, and people have no place to stand. If you have different ideas when you ascend the throne in the future, don’t rush to do it, and don’t rush to implement the New Deal. On the contrary,  You must take your father's old politics seriously, don't give amnesty to the world, but kill corrupt officials and powerful people to show your attitude, otherwise the local government will be in a mess!"

    "Why?" Zhao Kuanghuan asked.

    Pang Chunlai sneered: "How many people expect your father to die soon!"

    Zhao Kuanghuan frowned, he understood why his father wanted to come to Liaoning by himself, the real intention was for him to listen to Pang Chunlai's teachings.

    After a long time, Zhao Kuanghuan cupped his hands and said, "Grandson understands."

    Pang Chunlai wanted to shake his head, but he could only twist his neck with difficulty: "You didn't fully understand, you only found out after you ascended the throne. Knowing people, knowing their faces but not their hearts, at this moment, they won't show their faces. When you become emperor, those who are desperate  You must be vigilant when you cater to your ministers, you have to check their backgrounds and what they are doing in private."

    "Grandson understands." Zhao Kuanghuan said.

    Pang Chunlai sighed: "Oh, you still don't understand. The treachery is like loyalty. You are the first to become a great treasure in the future, and you are eager to control the court. How can you refuse the loyalty of the important ministers? You will definitely use some people, even if you find them  You are not clean, and I am afraid you are reluctant to punish you. You are very similar to your father, but the biggest difference is that you are not as ruthless as your father. You are too benevolent, and sometimes you can’t get rid of it. It’s because of your personality, you can’t change it. Saint  Be ruthless, the emperor is a saint, sometimes you have to be ruthless."

    Zhao Kuanghuan said: "The grandson will not be so benevolent as a woman."

    Pang Chunlai asked: "If your favorite concubine has a family of fish and meat, but no one is killed, how will you deal with it?"

    "According to the law." Zhao Kuanghuan said.

    Pang Chunlai asked again: "The concubine Chong's family was exiled according to the law. After three or five years, the concubine Chong came to blow pillows and said that the matter is over. The old parents are old and have been sick for a long time in the place of exile. I beg you to allow them to return.  Township Anyang. Will you agree? Don't rush to answer, think about it yourself."

    Zhao Kuanghuan hesitated to speak, he felt that he must be selfish, but Pang Chunlai's words made him doubt himself again.

    Pang Chun said: "Don't look at it as a trivial matter. If there are too many such trivial matters, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will think you are soft."

    Similar emperors, Jiaqing is a typical example.

    Emperor Jiaqing, who just took charge of the government, is simply a "Little Yongzheng".  Make great efforts to govern, implement the New Deal, pay attention to people's livelihood, rectify the administration of officials, gather power, and fight corruption. You can easily identify which ministers are deceiving you.  He also said that the White Lotus Sect uprising that swept across several provinces was a group of refugees who could not get enough to eat, and it could be resolved as long as people's livelihood was improved.

    However, Jiaqing, who tried to be a "Little Yongzheng", ended up being a "Little Qianlong".

    ?Because he found that he could not change anything, and wanted to restore the Mulan paddock, such a small matter, he hadn't done it for 20 years.

    Why is this happening?

    Jiaqing learned from Yongzheng everywhere, but he didn't have Yongzheng's ruthless determination.  He exiled important ministers who committed the crime of deceiving the emperor and then returned to their posts. The same person can be exiled and returned to his posts several times.

    After coming and going, no one takes the emperor seriously anymore.

    Anyway, the serious crime of deceiving the emperor is only exile, and if he can be reinstated after exile, it will be like traveling to Ninggu Pagoda for a few years.  Hundreds of officials scrambled to deceive the emperor, and as long as it violated the imperial decree of their own interests, they joined forces and resolutely refused to implement it, making the Jiaqing New Deal anticlimactic.

    Therefore, Jiaqing's temple name is "Renzong", just like Zhu Houzhao's father.

    As night fell, Zhao Kuanghuan, who had had dinner, sat in Pang Chunlai's study with his eyes closed and meditated.

    The emperor is a saint, and a saint should be ruthless. This sentence touched the prince a lot.

    After contacting Zhao Han's various methods, Zhao Kuanghuan seemed to have touched the threshold.

    Among the founding emperors of all dynasties, Zhao Han was considered to be kinder. Among the founding ministers, the highest rank to be beheaded was Zuo Shilang.  While benevolent, he is indeed ruthless, and is very harsh on his clan and relatives.

    How to be kind and ruthless?

    Suddenly, Zhao Kuanghuan wanted to understand what Pang Chun said. After ascending the throne, don't rush to amnesty the world, but pay close attention to the old politics to show your attitude.

    The first thing he did when he ascended the throne was to decree to clean up the land administration across the country and clean up corrupt officials across the country.

    Through the investigation, a group of Liwei were brutally killed!

    It's better to take a certain foreign relative to make an example to others.

    When the time comes, he will talk about his father everywhere, and he will be an important minister who will fight against him.  There are also important ministers who are completely obsessed with themselves and flatter them everywhere.  One or two dismissed from office each, showing their selflessness and wise iron fist.

    It turns out that this is the ruthlessness of the saint. Zhao Kuanghuan only realized this at this time, and he still has a longer way to go.

    Picking up the lanterns, the flames became brighter, and Zhao Kuanghuan wrote the word "正" with a pen.As Bai Pangchun said, after ascending the throne, don't rush to amnesty the world, but pay close attention to the old politics to show your attitude.

 Text 1060 [Unification of Java]

    In the autumn of the twenty-sixth year of the Republic of China, Pang Chunlai, the Duke of Liao, died of illness in Xiningbao, Yaoxian County, Liaoning.

    Posthumously named King of Liao, posthumously titled Wenzheng.

    The title of King of Liao cannot be hereditary, and his descendants will be reduced by the title of Duke of Liao.

    Emperor Zhao seemed to think of Li Banghua, and he named Li Banghua the King of Ji'an. The title of King of this county is still not hereditary.

    Regarding the posthumous title of Li Banghua, before Pang Chunlai died of illness, he could not give it casually.  Because the officials of Jishui nationality are very powerful, Li Banghua's fellow countrymen are all over the court and the public, so there must be another king with a different surname to suppress him.

    Another reason is that officials from other provinces have gradually shown their prominence.

    ?Officials from these five provinces, Anhui, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Sichuan, have been continuously promoted through the imperial examination, and more and more people are inside and outside the court.  Coupled with the officials from Hunan and Hubei, the number has already surpassed that of Jiangxi officials.

    Although Jiangxi officials still hold high positions in the cabinet, the ranks of cabinet doctors have been balanced, and the native places of local officials have also been balanced.

    In the same year, Yuan Yunlong, Fei Ruhe's eldest brother-in-law, returned home due to illness in his position as a cabinet minister.  There is one less cabinet minister from Jiangxi.

    Zhang Bingwen, a cabinet minister from Anhui Province, had retired from illness for many years, and passed away this winter.  At the age of 81, his posthumous title was Wenzhong.

    In the twenty-seventh year of the first year of the Republic of China, Zuo Xiaoliang, a cabinet minister from Jiangxi Province, suddenly suffered from a serious illness and asked to be appointed as an official.  Three requests and three resignations, Zhao Han agreed, and one was missing.

    Liu Ziren, an old friend Zhao Han met in Hanzhu Academy, is white, fat, healthy, and sits firmly in the seat of chief assistant.

    This shoufu lord has relatively mediocre talents.

    No matter what happens, first discuss it with the cabinet ministers, and then submit it to the emperor after unifying the opinion.  Whenever Zhao Han changed the proposals of the cabinet, no matter how outrageous the changes were, the chief assistant Liu Ziren would follow suit.

    Zhao Han is actually very comfortable with such an uninitiated chief assistant.

    "Minister Zhang Xianzhong, pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor!"

    In Yingmin Hall, Zhang Xianzhong saw the emperor again, this time with a completely different identity.

    Zhao Han said happily: "Give me a seat."

    "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Xianzhong was much more well-behaved than before, and his attitude was correct.

    This gentleman is already sixty years old, and he served as the governor of Semarang after his term of extension. He was not called back to the court until he wiped out all the surrounding countries.

    Zhang Xianzhong first sent troops to occupy the coastal plain of Pamaran, continuously absorbed Han immigrants, and took the initiative to draw a border with the Sultan of Cirebon, but suddenly attacked Cirebon two years later.  Moreover, they still used tricks to send soldiers in advance to pretend to be merchants, and after entering the city, they should cooperate with the inside and outside to quickly take them down.

    When the news got out, other sultans were shocked.

    The Sultan of Burangan (Bandung), the closest to Cirebon, gathered troops in a panic to prepare for war.  Zhang Xianzhong also released the news that he wanted to destroy Brian'an, but he shot a feint and secretly led his troops back to attack the Yogyakarta Sultanate south of Semarang.

    The Sultan of Yogyakarta was unprepared, and the country was ruined and died.

    The rest of the sultans were terrified. The Sultan of Surabaya even took the initiative to abdicate, supported the Han puppets to come to power, and asked Emperor Zhao to make Surabaya a governor-general, provided that the imperial court could not send officials and garrisons.

    Under his son's suggestion, Zhang Xianzhong did not continue to fight. Instead, he developed steadily for several years and killed a large number of Javanese nobles.  Massacred nobles, burned books, destroyed temples, provoked rebellion, sent troops to suppress the rebellion, and continued to slaughter After a few years, people who knew Javanese characters were killed by him, and believers could not even find temples to worship.

    In Central Java alone, Zhang Xianzhong killed tens of thousands of people!

    Even the Han people in Semarang were frightened by Zhang Xianzhong, and the local rich people converted to Buddhism.

    Last year, Zhang Xianzhong captured Surabaya, slaughtered all the non-Han nobles in the city, and completed the unification of Central Java and East Java.

    Zhao Han smiled and asked kindly: "Which yamen do you want to work in? You can enter the Governor's Mansion and stay in Nanjing, or you can be transferred to other places to be the Governor."

    Zhang Xianzhong shook his head and said, "I'm sixty years old, I can't kill him anymore, but I can enjoy it too. Your Majesty, let me go back to Taiwan and give me a magistrate. I've never been a civil servant in my life."

    Zhao Han flipped through the map of Taiwan and said, "In the coastal area south of the chicken coop, there is a large plain that emerges from the Lanyang River. The Taiwan prefect organized immigrants there and planned to educate the local aborigines. But these aborigines were extremely fierce and even killed them.  Two officials and a few people who immigrated there."

    Zhang Xianzhong said: "Just kill some natives."

    Zhao Han said: "The prefect of Taiwan has sent troops to drive the local aborigines into the mountains. Now there are more and more immigrants there, and a large number of plains have been reclaimed as fertile fields, but they are often attacked by the aborigines in the mountains."

    "Your Majesty let me go??Property, as well as land and mines.  Wouldn't it be better for the family to move to Nanjing to enjoy the blessings with the property they have searched for many years, than to stay in Banten and worry about fear?

    Zhao Hongde's devotion to the country filled the last gap, and the Nanjing court officially unified Java Island.

    Locally, there are still Javanese nobles entrenched, but Han Chinese merchants and immigrants can use the power of the people to contend, and they don't even need the governor to bother too much.

    There will only be one post of governor of Java Island in the future.

    The Governor of Coconut City was cancelled, the Governor of Semarang was cancelled, and a new Governor of Java was established to control the entire island.

    ?The Governor’s Mansion is located in Yecheng (Jakarta), Banten, Semarang, Surabaya and other big cities, all of which will be managed by "supervisors".

    Throughout Java Island, spices, sucrose and so on are still secondary, and its main function is to act as a big granary!

    Mainland China can continuously obtain rice from Java Island, which is used to curb the continuous rise of grain prices in coastal areas.

    Perhaps decades later, through immigration and civilization, a Java province can be established.

 Text 1061 [Western Regions Stability]

    Zhang Xianzhong's official resume is very strange, from the village chief to the governor suddenly, and then from the governor to the county magistrate.

    The officials of the Ministry of Officials were all confused and didn't know how to record it.

    In fact, it is very simple. As far as Zhang Xianzhong's age and experience are concerned, no matter what he does, the emperor has the final say, and there are only a few years left in his official career.

    Maybe Zhao Han also felt awkward, and made Zhang Xianzhong a baron to make up for the gap from the governor to the county magistrate.

    Datong China, society is progressing, and Europe has not stopped.

    In this year in France, there was the second recorded blood transfusion in humans.

    The first time was two years ago when physiologist Lauwell gave a 13-year-old child a small amount of lamb blood.

    Denis, the imperial physician of Louis XIV, heard the news and learned that the child was fine, so he also started his own journey of committing crimes.  Within a year, he gave blood transfusions to seven people, all of which were sheep blood and cow blood.

    Of the seven victims, three survived and four died.

    One of the family members of the deceased took Dennis to court.  Subsequent investigations proved that the cause of death of the deceased was actually arsenic poisoning, because he also consulted other doctors.  And that doctor prescribed arsenic in the medicine

    But things got worse, because the deceased was an aristocrat, and France and Britain banned blood transfusion treatment one after another.

    On the Chinese side, blood transfusion experiments are also being conducted.

    The cause is the same as in Europe, because I read the blood circulation papers of British doctor Harvey.

    A folk doctor of the Ziyang sect transfused the blood of one dog into another dog, and both dogs lived well.  Then continue the experiment, buy ten dogs, and cross them for blood transfusion.

    One month later, six of the ten unlucky dogs died one after another.

    The doctor immediately wrote a paper and submitted it to the Medical Museum of Qintian University. After publication, it quickly caused a sensation.

    There was a lot of scolding!

    The curator of the medical museum issued an industry ban on this, forbidding the use of living people for blood transfusion experiments.  Because everyone knows that the doctors of the Ziyang School are a group of lunatics, who dare to use dogs to conduct experiments today, and dare to start with living people tomorrow.

    The prohibition is meant to be violated. In the future, there will definitely be doctors who will secretly infuse blood into living people

    In the twenty-seventh year of the beginning of the Republic of China, there was no major event.

    In the twenty-eighth year, the Datong Army recovered the Yinli River Valley.  Galdan, who had unified northern Xinjiang, was furious about this and took the initiative to attack Luntai City that autumn.

    Luntai, that is, Urumqi, was changed by Zhao Han himself.

    The main force of the Western Expedition led by Jiang Liang has been divided into five.  Some were stationed in Dawan, some returned to Shaanxi and Gansu, some were stationed in Xinjiang, some returned to Qinghai, and some had just recovered Yinli.  Therefore, in the face of Galdan's attack, the Datong Army could only defend Luntai City alone.

    Unable to attack for a long time, Galdan chose to go around the city, cross the Tianshan Pass, and go to the Turpan area to plunder.

    The Han immigrants have already received news that those who can enter the city will enter the city, and those who are far away from the city will all hide in simple earthen castles.

    Civilians of all ethnic groups suffered. Most of them were freed serfs. Their lives improved after a while, but they were plundered by Galdan again.  All the newly harvested grain was taken away, all the livestock raised were also taken away, and even many people were taken away.

    Jiang Liang was furious for such behavior, and the people of all ethnic groups also shared the same hatred.

    In the twenty-ninth year, when the snow melted in spring, Jiang Liang launched a counterattack.

    When recruiting civilian husbands, people of all ethnic groups enthusiastically signed up.  One is to be a civilian husband for the Datong Army, and they can receive rations to overcome the food shortage crisis; the other is that they really hate Galdan and really want to fight for the Datong Army.

    Jiang Liang led 15,000 cavalrymen, 36,000 infantrymen, and more than 50,000 Han Chinese and civilians of various ethnic groups. They first assembled in Luntai, and then went straight to the royal court of Galdan, Boxeri (Boxer County).

    Galdan did not choose to flee. He felt that the number of Han troops was small, and there were only 50,000 people who could really fight, and there were only more than 10,000 cavalry.

    Of course, it is not a decisive battle directly, but to attack and disturb the food road of the Datong army first.

    At the same time, He Yudu, who was stationed in Yinli, led 3,000 Datong cavalry, 2,000 Mongolian cavalry, and 1,500 Giligis cavalry, with almost no supplies, went north from the Yinli River Valley, crossed the Tianshan Mountains, and went straight to Galdan's lair.  They plundered the Mongolian tribes along the way, obtained food on the spot, and killed Galdan by surprise.

    The two sides fought a decisive battle on the edge of the desert in the northwest of Berkeseli. Galdan attacked fiercely as soon as he came up, but he couldn't break through the formation of Datong Army's vehicles. Instead, he was sent out by firearms.  The charging troops were defeated, Jiang Liang immediately launched a counterattack, and thousands of Heshuot cavalry turned around and rushed towards Galdan together.

    &nAfter the approval, the Chinese army in Dawan Mansion and Kazakh Khan sent troops to Bukhara at the same time to support the separatist forces to establish a puppet regime

    Thirty-four years since the beginning of the Republic of China.

    The reason why it took so long for Li Dingguo to take over the entire territory of the Yenisei Warlord Region in Tsarist Russia is because he had to be careful at every step.

    That is to say, to lay down a stronghold, you have to garrison troops to immigrate, and at the same time appease the local aborigines.  Basically, winning two Cossack strongholds every year is Li Dingguo's limit, otherwise the transportation of military rations will be too difficult.

    Also in this year, Zhao Han received a letter from France.

    Two letters, one from Louis XIV and one from Leibnitz.

    Leibniz is a letter-writing fanatic and has three-digit pen pals throughout his life.  Kangxi in parallel time and space is also Leibniz's pen pal, and the two often discuss academic issues together.  Leibniz's binary system was also inspired by Chinese Tai Chi and Eight Diagrams, which eventually influenced the invention of electronic computers.

    This gentleman was sent to Paris as a diplomat by the Duke of Saxony.

    He didn't achieve much in foreign affairs, but he took advantage of his position to communicate free of charge with nobles and scholars from various European countries.  After getting through, I started writing letters to Zhao Han, and sent them together with Louis XIV's letter.

    Zhao Han was very surprised when he received the letter from Leibniz, and what was even more surprising was that the content was not about mathematics, but asking Zhao Han for philosophical questions.

    Leibniz was also a philosopher.

    Zhao Han expounded his outlook on the universe and morality, and warmly invited Laibnitz to visit China.  If you are willing to settle in China, you can let him serve as an official.

    Four years later, Zhao Han received a reply letter from Laibnitz. He thanked His Majesty the Emperor for his invitation, but he had no plans to leave Europe yet.

    The specific reason is that Leibnitz worked as a diplomat in Paris and made hundreds of pen pals at the same time.  Once the address is changed, those letters will not be received ?

 Text 1062【Final Chapter 1】

    The first forty-six years of the Republic of China.

    Prince Zhao Kuanghuan is 51 years old. Since he was 40 years old, he has been officially handling the government affairs.

    All the memorials sent by the cabinet were sent to the prince, and the emperor only randomly checked and reviewed them every day.

    This situation puts more pressure on the prince.

    Because the prince wants to do things, he must have his own team.  The team he promotes often conflicts with the important ministers of the cabinet, and the important ministers of the cabinet are the emperor's people.

    In the end, it became a conflict between the emperor and the prince!

    Under normal circumstances, the emperor is the prince.  But at every critical moment, the emperor suddenly exerted force, and more than a dozen people from the crown prince's team were demoted one after another, and one was even exiled to Beihai (the one who was exiled deserved it, and was involved in the case of government coercion and people's rebellion.  During the prosperity of Datong, the people of Gansu actually rebelled).

    Fortunately, he was already in his early years. The emperor's health was getting worse and worse, and his mental health was getting worse day by day.

    "Your Highness, the birthday ceremony has been properly arranged."

    "Drill it again, I'll go and see it myself."

    It was the emperor's 70th birthday soon, and Emperor Zhao, who had always been reluctant to make arrangements, suddenly proposed to celebrate his birthday grandly.

    When the news came out, not only the officials were enthusiastic, but even the people were jubilant.

    Merchants inside and outside Nanjing city spontaneously purchased red satin, decorated their shops with joy, and hung up red lanterns to celebrate all night.

    In the early morning of this day, Nanjing was already lively.

    Civil and military officials all wore uniforms, and envoys from various countries also entered the city early and waited in line outside the Donghua Gate.

    Zhao Han rode the imperial chariot to the Meridian Gate Tower, stood up tremblingly, and was supported by the female officer to climb the city.

    Three years ago, he was still in good health and felt that he could live to be in his eighties or nineties.

    ?I don't know when it started, the frequency of defecation increased, and I had to pull three or four times a day.  When defecating, it seems to have diarrhea but not diarrhea, and there is no other discomfort, and the energy is very energetic, and there is no problem with appetite.

    Just last year, Zhao Han suddenly felt severe abdominal pain, and even had blood in his stool.

    ? Famous doctors from all walks of life came to the palace for consultation in turn, and the diagnosis results were similar. They all said that the emperor had heat poison in his body, and he had to clear the heat and eliminate the evil to recover.

    After taking the medicine for many days, there was a slight improvement.

    Last winter, the condition took a turn for the worse.  Difficulty defecating at the beginning, abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and then the liver also hurts. Sometimes he fell asleep and couldn't wake up, so he had to wait for him to wake up naturally.

    This year is even worse, at least 30 catties lost.

    Zhao Han can probably guess that he should be suffering from bowel cancer, and it is probably at an advanced stage.

    If it cannot be cured, it will not be cured in another three hundred years.

    The concubines followed them and went to the city one after another.

    Empress Fei Rulan has died of illness for four years, Tian Xiuying and Liu Rushi have also passed away.  Now it's Fei Rumei who is the queen, and she doesn't do very well, and she has a little temper from time to time.

    Today there is a warm sun, Zhao Han was helped to a chair and sat down.

    Although the spirit is not bad, but the physical strength is not enough to support sitting for a long time, Zhao Han can only lean on the backrest and look at the city.

    "The imperial family enters!"

    Members of the clan lined up in front of the Meridian Gate, led by King Zhao Kuangping of Chu.  The two eldest princesses, Zhao Zhenlan and Zhao Zhenfang, were also there, but their husbands had both died of illness, and this time they brought their children to the capital to celebrate their birthdays.

    After Zheng Sen stepped down as the chief envoy of Guangdong, he served as Zongzheng of the Clan Mansion for two years.  I really couldn't stay idle, so I took the initiative to apply for a transfer and was assigned to be the governor of Bangladesh.

    Bangladesh has been destroyed, not by invasion, but by playing itself to pieces.

    ?The emperor of Bengal launched a military campaign and expanded his territory to the limit. When the monarch was critically ill, rebellions broke out all over the country and split into seven separatist forces.  Chinese merchants took advantage of the situation and obtained the commercial privileges of several ports by selling cold weapons.

    ? When the melee started, the merchants couldn't bear it anymore, so they had to ask the imperial court to send troops, and those ports became the imperial court's colonies.

    Together with the Chittagong acquired by dowry, they will form the Governor-General of Bangladesh.

    "My son, Zhao Kuangping, congratulate Father on Christmas, and wish Father a long life!"

    Zhao Han raised his hand slightly with a smile on his face.

    Zhao Kuangping immediately retreated to the side, and Han Wang Zhao Kuangbai came forward to celebrate his birthday again.

    Among them, Jin Wang Zhao Kuangchen did not come in person, but sent a Han official as a birthday emissary.

    Zhao Kuangchen's health is not very good, and he is occasionally bedridden.  But his state of Jin has expanded its territory several times, owning the lands of the five kingdoms of Tanjore, Madurai, Julan, Klady, and Mysore, occupying half of South India.

    The number of Han immigrants and their descendants is about 500,000, but they rule over 100,000Handled by law".

    Charles III was furious and dissolved the British Parliament again.

    Members of Congress colluded with the nobles to rebel, the Earl of Argyll launched a rebellion to invade Scotland, and the Duke of Monmouth (the illegitimate son of Charles II) led the rebel army to land in southwest England.

    The National Defense Army built by Charles II showed strong combat effectiveness and easily defeated the two rebels.

    Then, Charles III began to mess up. He felt that there were rebels everywhere, and ordered the severe punishment of those who conspired to rebel.  Not only killed the younger brother (half mother) who led the rebellion, but also arrested suspects around London.  Then deliberately confronted the Anglican Church and used a large number of Catholics as military officers.

    Now that the civil war broke out again, even the army left by Charles II began to oppose the king's perverse actions.

    Especially the group of pirates and descendants from Chittagong, all of them were baptized into Protestantism, and they were very devout in seeking identity.  The king not only insulted their beliefs, but also used a large number of heretic officers. These Chittagong pirates had a tendency to defect.

    When Zhao Han celebrated his 70th birthday, the second son of Charles II was elected as the leader of the rebel army and declared himself King Edward IV of England.

    Edward IV won the battle, but the centralization of the British monarchy was also over.

    Because he relied on the strength of the squire to defeat his elder brother, the squire group regained power through the House of Commons.  The British named this incident the "Glorious Revolution".

 Text 1063【Final Chapter 2】

    The decline of the Netherlands began when it was driven out of Southeast Asia by China, but the fatal blow came from Britain and France.

    Britain wants to gain maritime interests, and France wants to invade and occupy the mainland of the Netherlands.

    In the case of financial difficulties in Britain, Louis XIV offered money, and Charles II immediately agreed to join the French resistance.

    The financial support obtained out of thin air, of course, comes with additional conditions.  Britain and France sign the Treaty of Dover.  The treaty stipulates that France provides financial support to Britain, and Britain must gradually restore Catholicism and must fight against the Netherlands with France.  If there is a riot in Britain due to the restoration of Catholicism, France must borrow troops to help Britain counter the rebellion.

    After the signing of the secret treaty, France suddenly declared war on the Netherlands, and Britain immediately withdrew from the Triple Alliance formed with the Netherlands and Sweden.

    Immediately afterwards, Britain declared war on the Netherlands and attacked a merchant fleet in the Netherlands. The third Anglo-Dutch war broke out.

    The strongest fortress in the Netherlands, facing the French military strategist Vauban, collapsed just like Paper Lake.  Of the seven provinces of the Netherlands, five provinces were directly occupied.

    The Dutch Parliament urgently invited William III to be in power, and formed an alliance with Spain, Austria, Prussia, the Duchy of Lorraine, and the Duchy of the Palatine. The countries obviously wanted to jointly curb the rise of France.  Facing a complete siege, France had to fight everywhere. After the troops were dispersed, William III regained the lost territory of the Netherlands.

    Louis XIV waved the banknotes again, pulling the Netherlands' ally, Sweden, into his camp.

    Sweden immediately attacked the German region, Brandenburg and Austria, and had to order the frontline troops to return to defense.  In this way, France relieved the plight of being attacked from the front and rear, and began to attack the combined forces of the Netherlands and Spain.

    The Swedish army was defeated by Brandenburg, and Denmark immediately fell into trouble, allied with the Netherlands, and declared war on Sweden.

    Seeing that France was about to be completely surrounded again, Louis XIV started a tariff war, and Dutch businessmen suffered heavy losses.  Immediately, the navies of Britain and France jointly attacked the Dutch navy, and then went to fight with the Spanish navy to seize command of the sea in the Mediterranean.

    ?Because Spain lost its command of the sea, it surrendered to the Italian state of Spain, and took the opportunity to set off a national independence uprising.

    The French army defeated the German state again and occupied the Lorraine area.  Then he returned to fight Spain and occupied Franche-Comté and Flanders in Spain.

    The United Kingdom, which has been helping France in the war, did not want to see France win a big victory, and chose to jump again, suddenly announcing the marriage of Britain and the Netherlands.

    After being backstabbed by his allies, Louis XIV was furious, but he had to admit it with his nose pinched.  He took out a large number of gold coins and presented them to Charles II and the British nobles in exchange for Britain's slowing down of sending troops.  Then, the French attacked frantically, forcing the Allies to beg for negotiations.

    During the negotiations, Louis XIV bribed Dutch businessmen and promised to reduce tariffs.  The Dutch businessmen have neglected their righteousness when they saw profit, and even disregarded the interests of the country, and collectively emptied the Netherlands from ruling William III.

    In this regard, France dominates the continent.

    However, the cost of war and diplomacy was too high, and the people in France were in dire straits, and even peasant uprisings appeared.

    The United Kingdom first turned its back on the alliance to France, and then turned back to the Netherlands halfway through. It also received financial support from France twice. It can be said that it made a lot of money, and it also grabbed maritime privileges from the Netherlands.

    However, in order to fulfill the Anglo-French secret treaty, Charles II was publicly baptized and declared to be a Catholic. He was strongly opposed by the Parliament and the Anglican Church. He had to order the dissolution of the Parliament, which kicked off the religious struggle in Britain.  It is tantamount to planting a landmine for one's own son. In the end, the eldest son died, and the second son lost his centralization.

    ?After repeated wars in the Netherlands, the economic situation was in a mess. China took the opportunity to seize Ceylon (Sri Lanka), and the Netherlands was completely driven out of Asia.

    The current situation is that China colonizes the east coast of India and Ceylon, and Portugal colonizes the west coast of India.  Countless Chinese goods have been continuously shipped to India, and then transshipped by Portugal to Europe.

    Portugal married the princess to China and used Chittagong as a dowry. At this time, they got a good return, so don't be too comfortable as a second-hand businessman.

    However, the political situation in Portugal is chaotic.

    ? King Afonso VI, who was paralyzed and mentally ill since childhood, was cuckolded by his wife and younger brother.  Even the queen publicly declared that she had never consummated the marriage with the king, requested that the marriage be declared invalid, and then directly remarried to the king's younger brother.

    This is not over yet, after a couple of dogs and men got married, they jointly imprisoned the king in the Azores.

    Just five years ago, the king died of illness, and the dogs and men successfully became the king and queen.

    Three years ago, Princess Caterina of Portugal, who was married to Zhao Han, received detailed news from Portugal, believing that her younger brother had been murdered, and asked Emperor Zhao to send troops to preside over the overall situation.

    Zhao Han immediately ordered the navy to dispatch, andThe joining of the duke has a very strong appeal, which is equal to the recognition of the Portuguese nobles for the foreign prince.

    Constantly losing cities and territories, Pedro II couldn't sit still, and summoned the noble army to go north for a decisive battle.

    The two sides met on the outskirts of Coimbra. The fully armed 2,000 Chinese peasants and soldiers have been named the King's Guard by Zhao Kuangquan.  They were farmers and soldiers in China, but they were top elites in Portugal. They defeated Pedro II's army head-on, and Count Castelumellor took the opportunity to chase after him with his cavalry.

    One month later, Zhao Kuangquan proclaimed himself king in Lisbon, known as "Joao V" in Europe and "King Chen" in China.

    The Pope was furious and announced the excommunication of Portugal.

    The Portuguese have long been used to this, and Zhao Kuangquan is already the fourth Portuguese king who cannot be crowned by the Pope.

    The United Kingdom first recognized Zhao Kuangquan's throne, and then Louis XIV also expressed support. Both countries did not take the Pope seriously.

    ? Spain, which had just been beaten by France, felt like an enemy at this time. It was afraid that Zhao Kuangquan would lead troops to stab the chrysanthemum, and publicly recognized Zhao Kuangquan's throne in exchange for the signing of the non-aggression treaty between Portugal and Spain.

    Zhao Han was sitting on the Meridian Gate tower, his whole body was in pain, and he was about to pass out from the pain. He could only grit his teeth and hold back.

    After everyone celebrated their birthdays, looking at the clan, officials and envoys below the city, Zhao Han suddenly asked feebly, "Can you kneel down to me?"

    The voice was too low, only the people around could hear it, and everyone was stunned.

    Prince Zhao Kuanghuan was the first to react and knelt down with a plop.

    The female officer ran to the tower guard and said, "Your Majesty asked if everyone could bow down to the emperor."

    The tower guards knelt down one after another, and some people ran to the city to spread the message: "Your Majesty asked, can everyone kneel down to worship the emperor."

    The guards were running and passing on messages, passing by along the way, like a strong wind sweeping the wheat fields, one by one they began to bow down.

    Even the envoys from Europe knelt down in unison, and they were sincere.  Everyone knows that the emperor's time is running out. He abolished the kneeling ceremony before, and only wanted to accept a kneeling ceremony before he died.

    Looking at the city, Zhao Han suddenly laughed.

    To be honest, the memory before time travel has become very thin.  Even many things before the formation of the army have been forgotten, and at this moment they suddenly recalled, passing through my mind like a revolving lantern.

    "Pingshen." Zhao Han said softly.

    "Ping body!"

    "Ping body!"

    The voice came from near and far, and everyone in the city stood up one after another.

    Emperor Zhao was really able to make a fuss this time. After the birthday celebration, he drank some millet porridge wholeheartedly, and asked the guards to carry him to Meizizhou.

    Everyone followed, because the sports meeting was held in advance.

    The sports meeting was launched in the 35th year of the Republic of China. Anyone can sign up to participate, and the royal family will provide prizes and bonuses.  The current events include: long-distance running, sprinting, standing long jump, triple jump, firecracker shooting, bow and arrow shooting, spearmanship, equestrianism, wrestling, boxing, cuju, polo, swimming, regatta, javelin, medicine ball, Ironman  Three items.

    The triathlon was established to promote bicycles.

    Rubber already has early vulcanization technology, bicycles have tires, and chains are not difficult, and they can already be used as a means of travel.

    Meizizhou in the Yangtze River has completely become an entertainment center with the holding of the sports meeting.  Residents on the island can get rich by doing small businesses, and there are a lot of tourists on ordinary holidays.

    "Woooooh"

    The whistle of the steamship sounded, and Zhao Han took the steamboat and headed for Meizizhou first.

    The opening ceremony was very exciting. There were opera, magic, equestrian and other performances. Zhao Han endured the pain to watch it.

    Stayed at Meizizhou that night, and watched the official game the next day.

    Du Chunfeng, a contestant from Hebei, won the 15-meter sprint championship, and then won the 30-meter sprint championship.

    Both sides of the Yangtze River are also crowded with people.

    People gathered on the shore to cheer and cheer, because there was a boat race there.  The shape of the boat is similar to that of a dragon boat. Someone beats drums to beat the rhythm. The rowing boats are like flying arrows flying on the river.

    The triathlon in the afternoon was even more lively.

    Contestants first ride bicycles on the north bank of the Yangtze River.  After arriving at the destination, abandon the car and swim across the Yangtze River, swim to the south bank of the Yangtze River and start running, run for a while, and then swim to the end of Meizizhou.

    On the fifth day of the sports meeting, Zhao Han suddenly fainted.

    It took a while to wake up, and he found that the game had been interrupted, so he said: "The sports meeting will continue, the officials of the cabinet and the clan, follow me back to the Forbidden City immediately."

    Yingmin Hall.

    Everyone was uneasy, faintly feeling that something big had happened.

    Zhao Hanwo sat on the golden throne, speaking as cleanly as possible: "Chen Maosheng, you are going to write the trick!"

    Chen Maosheng is over seventy years old and currently serves as the chief assistant.

    When the emperor passed away, it was time for him to resign, at most one more year as a buffer.

    At this time, Zhang Tieniu was bedridden at home. He was injured too much when he was young, and he was sick all over when he was old. He hadn't gone out for several years.

    Fei Ruhe is quite healthy, standing in the hall at this moment, sighing secretly and shaking his head.

    Fei Chun and Liu Ziren have passed away, the former at the age of 68 and the latter at the age of 62.  They are all crowned as county kings, and titles cannot be hereditary.

    "Announce to the world: After my death, my body and clothes will be burned to ashes like a folk cremation."

    Chen Maosheng shook his right hand, and the ink stained the paper.

    "The ashes were divided into twelve parts, one was buried in Zijin Mountain in Nanjing, one was buried in Luzhou in the far north, one was buried in Ezo Island, one was buried in Tanzhou (Hawaii), and one was buried in Pangeng City (  San Francisco), aNow that he has become emperor, Zhao Kuanghuan is not excited, but all kinds of grief and melancholy.

    Half a month later, Zhao Han abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne.

    At Zhao Kuanghuan's age, he no longer has any ambitions. He feels that his father's policy is very good, and Xiao Guicao can continue to use it. There is no need to mess around with new policies.

    ? In order to express his political attitude, Zhao Kuanghuan ordered a cleanup of the officialdom. While the Inspectorate was cleaning up the Beijing officials, he sent a large number of clean government officials to inspect the localities.  However, those who are involved in corruption, accepting bribes, and engaging in malpractice for personal gain will be dealt with strictly, and there will be no mention of amnesty for the world at all.  After the clean-up of officials, we will check the land next year and severely punish those who occupy and buy and sell the land.

    Throughout the ruling and opposition parties, those with ulterior motives were completely collapsed.

    They had long thought about changing the emperor, but they didn't expect that the first thing the new king would do would be to do so.

    In fact, the New Deal also has a suspension of external expansion. The military expenditure is too high, and the imperial court owes more than 60 million taels of silver to the bank.

    The hawkish officials are very dissatisfied. They still want to capture the South Philippine Islands. How can they be promoted without fighting?

    In the autumn of that year, the navy stationed in Luzon misfired with the Spanish fleet. The two sides fired at each other for half an hour (in fact, the Datong navy chased the Spanish navy for half an hour).

    Then the navy reported to the court that it was ambushed by the Spanish fleet and requested to blockade the major ports in the South Philippine Islands.

    Zhao Kuanghuan was furious when he received the report. The navy took him for a fool. How could it be possible to attack the Datong navy on the initiative of those broken ships in Spain?

    The admiral of the navy stationed in Luzon was directly dismissed by Zhao Kuanghuan, and ordered the Ministry of War, the Navy Governor's Office, and the Inspectorate to jointly investigate the details of the matter in Luzon.

    It's not good to be the emperor.

 Text 1065【Final Chapter 4】

    Old man Li is 76 years old this year, and everyone in the village calls him Mr. Li.

    His family was a military household in Daming, and was responsible for guarding Xiaoling for generations.  However, except for the access to the mountain, grass grows everywhere near Xiaoling Mausoleum, and the officers of the Xiaoling Guards have not seen orders to maintain it.

    His eldest brother died in infancy, and his second brother joined the army when he became an adult.

    As a soldier, he did not take weapons, but only took axes and ropes, and stole trees from Xiaolingwei for the officers.  Once, when a log was lowered down a mountain, the person and the log rolled down accidentally. The spine was broken, and he suffered from pain for several days at home before he died.

    Therefore, old man Li also became a soldier, filling up his second brother's errand, and doing hard labor for those hereditary military officers.

    If there is no disease or disaster, you can barely survive.

    Occasionally, the officers will distribute some rations, and they and their wives will do odd jobs, which can also slightly subsidize the family.  However, floods and droughts occurred frequently, and his wife, who was in poor health, died of malnutrition first, and then his only son also died.

    The old parents have been dead for many years, and he is the only one left in the family.

    At that time, old man Li couldn't see the slightest hope in life, and lived in a daze all day long.  When an officer has an errand, he will do it, if he has no errand, he will do odd jobs, and if he has nothing to do, he will be a beggar.

    If he is lucky and can still pick up wild eggs in the imperial mausoleum, it will already be his happiest moment.

    Suddenly, the Datong army came, and Old Man Li was transferred to guard Nanjing, and he was given a rusty spear.

    Old man Li was terrified at the time. He heard that the Datong army would massacre the city and liked to eat raw human flesh.  He stood at the top of the city tremblingly, completely unable to understand military orders, and only knew how to follow others around.

    Then, the city was full of secret disturbances, and the people surrounded the nobles, and soldiers rebelled in the deserted lakes.

    Old man Li didn't think much about it, so he rebelled and went to help open the city gate.

    He just felt that the Datong Army was very powerful, so he might as well join the rebels, or follow the rebels to eat human flesh.

    These military households who rebelled against Xiancheng were organized into a security force, responsible for arresting criminals who took advantage of the fire.

    Zhang San, who was acquainted with the old man Li, was usually submissive, but suddenly he showed off his might.  Zhang San didn't go to arrest the bad guys, but used the banner of the Datong Army to blackmail the wealthy households in the city. At that time, dozens of military households followed suit.

    Behead all!

    Old man Li saw Zhang San's head fall to the ground with his own eyes, and was so frightened that he wet his pants on the spot.

    Later, more Datong troops entered the city, and the military households were taken outside the city.  The mission officer escorted the hereditary military officer to come, saying that he was going to hold a complaint meeting, and at the beginning, "The White-haired Girl" was played, which made the officers and the military households who farmed the land cry loudly.

    Old man Li didn't cry when he watched "The White-haired Girl", but he cried at the complaint meeting.

    He chattered on and on about what had happened to his family, detailing how each family member died, and when he mentioned his second brother, he cried, and couldn't go on talking.

    Later, the land of the hereditary military officer was allotted to military households for farming. Old man Li never dreamed that he would have his own land in this life.

    Old man Li works very hard on farming, although he has never planted, his family has been cutting down trees for officers.

    When he met someone who knew how to farm, he nodded and bowed down, begging others to teach him farming skills.  Regardless of busy or slack seasons, I have to wander around the fields every day, wishing I could eat and sleep on the ridges of the fields.

    ?One day, the village chief called everyone to discuss the matter and asked all single men and women to go.

    Old man Li was serving the crops at that time, so he was a little reluctant to go.  Unexpectedly, he was assigned a wife, a female beggar who fled to Nanjing.

    In fact, he is not considered a beggar. He went south with his family to join relatives.

    All the family members died of illness and starvation, so she could only wipe her dirty face and beg along the street.  When the Datong Army cleaned up the beggars, she was half starved to death, and she was taken to the outskirts of the countryside to marry along with other prostitutes who were willing to be good, as well as homeless women.

    Old man Li has land property, a wife, and children, and he has a family again.

    Five sons and three daughters, three of them died young.

    There are as many as eleven grandchildren, not counting the grandchildren.  The family's property was no longer enough, the eldest son followed him to farm, the second son died young, and the third son went to the city to work hard.

    The fourth son died, and the fifth son graduated from elementary school and became an apprentice.

    Today, the third son bought a house in a slum in the northwestern part of the city, even though he was exhausted from carrying his bags.

    The original owner got rich, moved out of the slums, and sold it very cheaply.

    Last year, I heard that there was going to be demolished. If the news is true, the third son and his family can still live in the building.

    The fifth son is even more terrible. He graduated from elementary school and is educated, and he is willing to learn and study. He is already a master in a printing and dyeing factory, with a salary of eight taels of silver a month.  Even his boss is polite to him??, I am afraid that I will be hungry in the coming year.  "

    Li Datong looked at the crying parents, he couldn't understand the situation, the old emperor was gone, and the new emperor was replaced, how could it be like the sky is falling?

    He called the child to have breakfast, and then carried the hoe to weed the vegetable field.

    Passing by a few houses, as long as there are elderly people in the house, they can always hear crying faintly.

    ?After returning home from weeding at noon, Li Datong found that lunch had been prepared, but he could not see his parents. He asked his wife, "Where are your parents?"

    "Going into town," replied the wife.

    "What are you doing in the city?" Li Datong asked.

    The wife explained: "I changed into new clothes, and brought some money and dry food. I said that I would wear sackcloth and mourning for the Long Live Lord. More than 20 old people in the village went there. The village chief was afraid of bad things, so he persuaded him.  No, I have to go with you.”

    "Their old lake is painted, and they are afraid that they will be kicked out by the government!"

    Li Datong didn't bother to eat lunch, so he dropped his hoe and chased after him.

    Along the way, Li Datong met several groups of old people, among whom were some young people.

    In the shops selling cloth by Xuanwu Lake and in Changganli, linen has already sold out.  Many old people marched towards the city of Nanjing with linen cloth spun by themselves and worn on their bodies.

    The soldiers guarding the city gate didn't know whether to stop them. With so many people coming from all over the world, there might be troubles in the city.

    But they didn't dare to stop them, and they didn't even dare to scold them, because they were all here to make the emperor cry.

 Text 1066 [Final Chapter Five]

    Yingmin Hall.

    Zhao Kuanghuan's elementary school classmate He Qianji, although he was eliminated by Huangcheng Primary School, has been studying hard.  He went to college at his own expense, but he accumulated a lot of money in the imperial examinations, and he was ranked 78th in the second list. Relying on his political achievements and the appreciation of the prince, he is now a minister of the Ministry of officials.

    He Qianji said: "Cremation is a vulgar custom in the Buddhist family. How can the emperor do this? Of course, the last emperor's last order must be obeyed. He can cremate the emperor's imperial belongings and scatter them on the land as nourishment for pines and cypresses. As for the remains of the first emperor, they should be buried according to the state rites."  , there must be no negligence."

    Li Yong, who was born as a prince teacher, is 60 years old this year and is currently serving as the chief assistant.  He immediately retorted: "The last emperor's will cannot be changed, and the cremation must be cremated!"

    "This is indecent!" He Qianji said.

    Li Yong said: "Rites are determined by people, and the last emperor's will is the ceremony!"

    He Qianji said: "Burning the dragon body of the former emperor, where will the current emperor be? Do you want the emperor to bear the infamy of destroying his father's body?"

    Li Yong said: "The cremation was ordered by the late emperor. It has already been announced to the world. How can the people talk about it?"

    "Governments and people don't gossip today, but what about a hundred years later? What will future generations think when they read history books?" He Qianji asked.

    Li Yong roared angrily: "How do you know the great ambitions of the late emperor? Thousands of years later, your Majesty will guard the territory of thousands of miles with the body of a real dragon, and the Chinese descendants will only respect the late emperor more and more. Only those who are in the lake,  That’s why I thought it was a disrespectful act!”

    ? Zhao Kuanghuan finally spoke out: "Mr. Li, just discuss the matter, don't slander your colleagues."

    Li Yong picked up the wat board, held it to his chest and said: "If your majesty does not obey the last emperor's last order, I will have no face to see the late emperor after I die of old age. Please resign!"

    As the leader of the princeling party, Li Yong often confronted the royal party officials.  But when the crown prince really succeeded, he quarreled with his colleagues again, and even forced him to be cremated by resigning.

    Zhao Kuanghuan was very entangled at this time. Of course he wanted to abide by the late emperor's will, but he also wanted to do what He Qianji said.

    In Zhao Kuanghuan's view, the cremated remains are divided into twelve parts, and those from all over the world are scattered in the soil to plant trees. How is this different from smashing his own father's bones into ashes?

    He Qianji said it very well, cremating the relics of the late emperor and burying the remains of the late emperor took care of all aspects.

    Zhao Kuanghuan felt that Li Yong was troublesome, especially the threat of resignation was challenging his majesty as the emperor.

    Zhao Kuanghuan looked at the ministers: "Do you have anything to say, Qing?"

    Li Kaiji, the first number one scholar in the new dynasty of Datong, came out holding the wat board and said: "You should obey the last emperor's last order, and you can't change it at all."

    ? Shen Wei, the candidate for the first imperial examination, died young, but Zhang Shouyue, the second runner-up, is still alive and currently serves as the Minister of Commerce.  He said: "Your Majesty, I agree with Shang Shu's words, cremate the relics of the late emperor, and bury the remains of the late emperor. If this is the case, your majesty will be able to fulfill both loyalty and filial piety."

    The ministers of the Cabinet and Ministry expressed their opinions one after another, and the supporters of the two views were almost evenly divided.

    Zhao Kuanghuan looked behind the curtain: "What lesson does mother have?"

    Fei Rumei, who has always been evasive and has a small temper, said slowly at this moment: "Brother Han will not talk nonsense, and he will not say wrong things. He is right in everything he does. You are the emperor now, not my own."  Yes, you can do whatever you want. You don’t have to ask me, I just listen to Brother Han.”

    Suddenly, a guard rushed into the side of the hall and whispered to the female officer on duty.

    The female officer hesitated for a few seconds, and quietly walked to Zhao Kuanghuan's side: "Your Majesty, the people of Jinling Mansion came from all over the world, wearing hemp and mourning mourning for the late emperor. The people in the city also gathered at the gates of the imperial city. They also elected  A few leaders want to set up a mourning hall outside the imperial city, and the guards don't know how to deal with it."

    Zhao Kuanghuan asked, "Where is the magistrate of Shangyuan?"

    "The magistrate of Shangyuan County has mobilized the police to maintain order outside the imperial city." The female officer replied.

    Zhao Kuanghuan said loudly, "Where is the governor of Jinling?"

    An official who was nearly fifty years old came out: "The minister is here!"

    Zhao Kuanghuan said: "You leave the Forbidden City immediately and go to appease the people outside the city. That's all, Zhuqing and I will go and have a look together."

    The officials didn't know what happened, so they went out with the emperor.

    ? Ascending to the Donghua Gate Tower, Zhao Kuanghuan's breathing became stagnant, and something stuffed his chest in panic.

    Outside the city wall, looking around, all the people are plain, and everything in sight is white.

    Everyone knelt, some were silent, some wept.

    Pu Songling, who has served as the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, muttered to himself: "People's hearts, people's hearts can also be seen with their own eyes, it is not something illusory. Throughout the past and present, who can win the hearts of the people like this?"

    The ministers were all stunned, and their hearts were so shocked that they couldn't be more shocked.

    &nbspThe night is not over yet, so I can only use the time to go to the bathroom to move my legs and feet.

    This memorial ceremony for all the people brought a strong soul shock to the new emperor, clan and officials.

    We all know that the old emperor is loved by all people, and it is still deeply shocking that he may have reached such a level

    The old man Li and his wife supported each other. After kneeling down and crying bitterly in the mourning hall, they planned to go home. They were afraid that their son and daughter-in-law would be worried, and they didn't even know that their son had been found.

    But I couldn't get out at all, and the road was blocked.

    For a full half an hour, the old couple only walked 100 meters away, and their bodies couldn't squeeze anymore, so they had to retreat outside the street shop to rest.

    There is no way for officials to deliver food, so they can only let the people pass the food in outside the crowd.  It wasn't until the mourning hall of Zhongshan Temple was set up outside the inner city, and the people in the outer areas were separated, that the situation improved slightly.

    The old man Li didn't get the meals from the government, so he ate dry food with his wife.

    It was getting dark, and another old man came to rest, even accompanied by his children and grandchildren.

    "Brother, what's your last name?" Old man Li asked.

    The old man said: "Miangui, my surname is Rong. Everyone in the village calls me Rong Mazi. How about you, brother?"

    The old man Li said: "My surname is Li, Li Laosan. I live in Racecourse Village, just east of the Royal Racecourse."

    "Then you're very close. I'm from Meijia Village," Rong Mazi said, "I used to farm for Master Mei, but when Lord Long Live came, I farmed for myself."

    Old man Li said: "The commander of Xiaolingwei is named Mei. I used to be a military household, and I only cut trees for the Mei family."

    Rong Mazi said: "Your side is the main sect, and mine is the side branch. My wife's surname is also Mei, and she is a maid of the Mei family. She follows the master's surname, and I don't know what my own surname is."

    Old man Li asked: "How is the crop this year?"

    Rong Mazi said: "Long live God bless, it's alright, the weather is good. Last year was not good, first there was a spring drought, the rice eared and then there was heavy rain. I worked hard and didn't get a few catties of rice."

    "It's all the same," Old Man Li said, "I heard a strong wind blowing outside the night before, and I was afraid that the Long Live Lord was summoned back to the sky by the gods. Well, I should have gone out to have a look at that time, maybe I could see the Long Live Lord  The last side."

    Rong Mazi said: "Long live God ascended to immortality and went to heaven to enjoy blessings, but how will we live in the future?"

    Old man Li said: "I discussed with my old lady that the food at home cannot be sold. The Long Live God is gone, and maybe some corrupt officials will be encountered in the future. There is food in the warehouse, so I don't panic."

    "I thought the same way. The food must not be sold," Rong Mazi said, "My family has saved money in the bank, so I have to get it out quickly."

    Rong Mazi's son interjected, "Father, the money is well kept in the bank, and you can earn interest every year. What are you doing with it?"

    [In other words, currently the best app for reading and listening to books, @

    Officials are poor, is it greedy to eat Naka?  A joke, a real corrupt official can peel you off, and squeeze out oil and water from your bones!  "

    After Zhao Kuanghuan came to power, the first crisis he encountered was brought about by his father.

    In the autumn of that year, the price of grain across the country skyrocketed because farmers refused to sell their grain.

    And it's a universal stockpiling of food!

    At the same time, Datong Bank in many places was run by ordinary people to withdraw money.

    Zhao Kuanghuan could only issue additional military tickets and official tickets, so that soldiers and officials could use paper money.  Take out the fiscal money from the treasury and provincial capitals, states and counties, and lend it to banks to deal with the run.

    Immediately afterwards, speed up the cleanup of the officialdom, check the fields in advance, and let the newspapers make a big splash.  By combating corruption and encroaching on people's fields, he expressed that he was the same as the old emperor, so as to gain the recognition of the people across the country.

    People gradually discovered that even though the Long Live Lord had left, the sky did not seem to have fallen.

    It was not until winter that the crisis was passed smoothly.

    Zhao Kuanghuan broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, he didn't mess around with the New Deal, otherwise he didn't know how it would end.

    The cremation of the late emperor's body was carried out in the Forbidden City, for fear of causing disturbances among the people.

    However, the news spread. When the ashes were sent away from Nanjing, countless people lined the road to see them off, and the whole city cried and mourned.

    A set of ashes was buried in Zijin Mountain. Before the stele was engraved or the trees were planted, the people had already flocked to visit the grave.

    Old man Li called all his sons back, took his children and grandchildren up the mountain together, brought a whole basket of eggs, and spent money to buy pork heads.

    Outside the cemetery, there are all tributes.

    Chicken, duck, fish, eggs, wine, rice, fruit, peanuts, melon seeds There are also many scrambled eggs with tomatoes, because the common people heard that Long Live Lord liked to eat this dish during his lifetime.a dish

    (The last chapter is also blocked, and cannot be modified, and cannot be written after a certain year.)

    (Thanks to the Baiyin League and the leader for the reward. This book has already been written, so don’t give any more rewards. Brother local tyrants, save the next new book.)

    Zhao Han (4314-4384), courtesy name Zhuochen, was born in Wuqing, Hebei.  The leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, the founding emperor of the Datong Dynasty (reigned from 4339 to 4384), known as Tong Taizu in history, an outstanding strategist, military strategist, statesman, thinker, scientist, writer, and gourmet.

    The Zhao family was a Confucian family in the Ming Dynasty. When they were young, their family fortune declined, and the whole family fled from their hometown.  In the fifth year of Chongzhen, he killed the county magistrate of Qianshan and fled to Luling County.  In the sixth year of Chongzhen, he led the uprising in Wuxing Town at the age of 16.  At the age of 20, he occupied the whole territory of Jiangxi.  At the age of 22, he captured Nanjing.

    At the age of 25, he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.  Later, the remnants of the Ming Dynasty were wiped out, the Houjin was destroyed, Dashun was flattened, and China was finally unified.

    During Zhao Han's reign, he equalized the land, abolished corvee, released slaves, organized immigration, encouraged land reclamation, built water conservancy, promoted high-yield crops, adjusted tax policies, and achieved great development in industry, agriculture and commerce.  Establish a peasant and soldier system, establish a police system, establish a patrol system, abolish the military household system, and recruit soldiers.  Reform the imperial examination, promote civilian education, and lay the foundation for the primary, junior, middle and advanced education system.  Adjust the bureaucracy system, and rule down to the villages and towns.  Open the sea ban, promote colonization, expel European colonists, recover the Western Regions, manage the northern land, and have a vast territory.  Encourage open-mindedness. In the early years of the Kingdom, a large number of thinkers were born, and a hundred flowers bloomed in the ideological circle.  Support scientific innovation and establish a modern scientific system.

    ? According to history, the rule of the beginning of the people.

    During the three dynasties of Minshi, Hongye, and Zhanglong, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the social order was stable, science and culture developed in an all-round way, and industry, agriculture and commerce flourished.

    ? In 4384 (the forty-sixth year of the Republic of China), Zhao Han died of illness in Nanjing at the age of 70. He was posthumously titled Emperor Chengtian Yingmin Lidao Zhaoji Shengde Shengong Weiwen Jingwu recreated Qiankungao Emperor.

    From humble beginnings——

    Zhao Han was born in a rural Confucian family in Wuqing County, Bazhou, Hebei. His father is Zhao Shilang and his mother is Chen.  Zhao Han is the second in his family. Although he is a Confucian, he has long since declined.  In the first year of Chongzhen, there was a severe drought, and his grandmother, father, mother, and brother died of starvation one after another. The eldest sister was sold to traffickers, and Zhao Han took his younger sister to beg for food in Tianjin.

    Studying at Lead Mountain——

    Fei Yinghuan, a son of the noble family in Qianshan Mountain, cherishes Zhao Han's talent and ambition, and takes him as a family boy.  Together with Fei Ruhe, Fei Chun, Liu Ziren and Xu Ying, they studied under Pang Chunlai.

    Pang Chunlai, a son of a military family in Liaodong, exiled in Jiangxi, instilled the idea of ????rebellion among the founding heroes.

    Although Zhao Han is a family boy, he is still young, and his knowledge can be ranked first in Hanzhu Academy.  The theory of Fa Ge's position, the verbal battle among all the students, can't be distinguished, and it is appreciated by Jiangxi Xuezheng.  Xuezheng wanted to accept him as his personal disciple, but Zhao Han politely refused.

    Escape career——

    Fei Yinghuan and his wife appreciated Zhao Han's talent and learning, and planned to recruit him as his son-in-law, and changed his household registration to help him take the imperial examination.  The teachers and students who were refuted by Hanzhu, and the elders of the Fei clan who looked down on Zhao Han, joined forces to remove Zhao Han's school status, and colluded with officials to conspire to trap Zhao Han and put him in prison.

    Zhao Han was alert and clever, broke in single-handedly, killed officials, set fire to the county government office, and was wanted.  With superb personality charm, Pang Chunlai, Zhang Tieniu, and Chen Maosheng are all willing to follow him to death.  Later, Fei Ruhe and Fei Chun voluntarily went to seek refuge.

    Wu Xing raised troops——

    At that time, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and other rogue bandits spread across several provinces in the northwest.  Later Jin conquered Mongolia and North Korea, entered the customs several times and plundered Hebei and Shandong.  As a result, the north was corrupted, and the imperial court ordered the whole country to raise taxes and salaries in order to calm internal and external troubles, and the people in the southern provinces were struggling to live.

    Zhao Han killed the bully landlord in Wuxing Town, distributed the land to the tenants and slaves, and won the hearts of the people.  The governor of Jiangxi led a large army to encircle and suppress, and the local wealthy families recruited villagers to follow the army. Zhao Han led the army to directly capture the city of Ji'an.  Capture Jiancheng with a strategy, recruit thousands of troops, defeat the official army who returned to aid, and defeat the brave Xiangyong of the wealthy family, and subdue Li Banghua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Military Affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

    Then, the three counties of Luling, Jishui and Anfu were acquired.

    Stand firm——

    Chongzhen first appointed Jiangxi General Soldier, and then appointed the governors of the five southern provinces to encircle and suppress Zhao Han's uprising army with soldiers from the five provinces.  The rebel army defeated officers and soldiers several times, and became famous, and heroes from all walks of life defected.  There are brothers Fang Shenghong and Fang Shengchang, who brought the territory of the three counties to join.  There is Fei Yinggong, who brings hundreds of soldiers and horses to vote.  There is Ding Jiasheng, who relied on the "Datong Collection" to revolt and divide the land, bringing soldiers and all the territory.  There are also descendants of the Ming Dynasty's clan, and the Ming Dynasty's talented scholars, who successively joined Zhao Han's command.

    Zhao Han has excellent strategic vision and political talent, and he is not in a hurry to expand. Instead, he rectifies the military and political system and develops industry, agriculture and commerce.  He was also falsely accepted by the imperial court and got the post of general soldier in Jiangxi.  In four years, it occupied the whole territory of Jiangxi.

    Pingding Jiangnan——

    alone.  The Chinese-speaking population covers Yinhua in North America in the east, inland Africa in the west, the Republic of South China (Australia) in the south, and the Arctic Ocean in the North Pole.

    Cultural thoughts——

    The establishment and implementation of Zhao Han's thought (anti-shielding).

    "Zhuochen Collected Works" includes one novel by Zhao Han, one drama, and 32 poems, all of which are well-known.

    Anecdotes——

    Zhao Han is best known as a gourmet.

    Before he joined the army, he worked as a chef in a restaurant in Hekou Town, Qianshan County. He said that his ancestors were royal chefs.  However, after research by experts of later generations, the identities of the descendants of the royal chef are fabricated.  Because Zhao Han likes spicy food, most of the dishes he handed down are related to chili peppers, which were introduced to China in the late Ming Dynasty.

    The most classic dish invented by Zhao Han is tomato scrambled eggs.  It is very popular, easy to cook, and spread all over the world.  The table etiquette and menus of the royal families in various European countries are mostly imitated by the Nanjing Palace.

    Zhao Han also likes to make scientific inventions. The founders of modern physics, chemistry, and mathematics often record in his private notes that he was instructed by Zhao Han.  Even including the invention of the steam engine, there are traces left by Zhao Han.  Scholars of later generations are often shocked by these details when studying historical materials, and it is hard to imagine the breadth of what Zhao Han learned.  He even left the famous song "Taizu Breaking the Array" and ordered the promotion of twelve equal temperaments.

    Xiao Shixuan: I actually seek advice from Taizu for my mathematics.

    ? Huang Zongxi: Is there anyone who is born with knowledge?  I have seen it, Taizu is also.

    Louis XIV: I am the Sun King of the West, and Zhao is the Philosopher King of the East. The two greatest monarchs in the world are here.

    Peter the Great: I am Zhao Han from Russia, and you must obey me unconditionally.

    Abbas II (Emperor of Persia): He is the king of kings, he is the light of the world, if I can meet him face to face, I will feel supremely honored.

    Deng Guangye (King of Mahua): Our ancestors ruled Mashima (Madagascar) through the blessing of Taizu.  Now, we can be independent because Taizu treated our ancestors well, but now we are exploited by our mother country.  We still respect the great ancestor as the father of the nation. This is unquestionable and unavoidable.

    A certain character that cannot be said: slightly

    ,

    (Several episodes, mainly to complete the ending of some characters.)

    In March of Yangchun, the snow in Shandong has just melted away.

    A man with a broken arm and gray temples came to the bank of the Jiaoshui River in a carriage.

    There is a post station near the ferry, and it is a big station.  If there is a typhoon near Shanghai, documents from Nanjing will enter Shandong through the canal and be sent to Liaodong through Dengzhou Port, and this post station is a must.

    Of course, there are many storms in summer and autumn, which often cut off the sea route, and it is safer to go directly to Shanhaiguan.

    Since it is an important way, it will naturally prosper.

    There are inns next to the station, and there are more than one.

    Officials, businessmen, and scholars often stayed in the guest rooms, while the caravan men who charged the goods slept in cheap Chase bunks.

    "It's getting late, let's stay at the hotel first." The man with the broken arm paid for the car and said to the woman who was getting off the car.

    The woman was in her early thirties, wearing a hat with a veil hanging down from the brim, tightly covering her face.  She was also holding a child in her hand, about ten years old, curiously observing the surrounding scenery.

    This family of three has been incognito for many years, and even the government's wanted notices are no longer posted.

    The man with the broken arm is Li Huchong, the protagonist of the first army smuggling case in the new dynasty.  Now that he has changed his name to Mu Feiyu, his old comrade-in-arms turned a blind eye and let him hide in Shaanxi for nearly ten years. Now he is carrying fake documents and plans to go to sea to settle down in Luzon.

    Glancing at the three inns, Li Huchong walked straight to the smallest one with his wife and children.

    It was a small two-story building with only seven or eight guest rooms, and there were no stables or other facilities.

    "Among the three, do you want to be top-notch, or do you want to stay in the store?" The store clerk warmly greeted them.

    Li Huchong said: "Stay overnight and cross the river tomorrow."

    The shop clerk said: "Then you register first."

    Li Huchong walked to the counter and said as he walked, "Fry two side dishes."

    "Okay, fry up two small dishes." The shop clerk yelled in, and reached out to receive the salute. Li Huchong only handed over the big luggage, but the small luggage containing the golden cake was hung on his shoulder.

    At the counter, holding a writing brush was Wei Jianxiong who had disappeared for many years.

    Wei Jianxiong's head is already gray, and he took his wife to look for relatives for many years, but after finding nothing, he actually opened a small inn by the Jiaoshui River.

    Taking out the store calendar, Wei Jianxiong asked: "Does the guest officer have a guide ticket?"

    "Yes." Li Huchong took out the fake document.

    The store calendar, also called the store book, must record the identity information of the guests staying in the store in detail, so that it can be inspected by the government on a regular basis.

    In ancient times, when staying in a hotel, you also need to check your "ID card"!

    Wei Jianxiong glanced at the opponent's severed arm, then caught a glimpse of his callus, and asked casually, "Retired officer?"

    Li Huchong said: "Retire early."

    "That is a veteran," Wei Jianxiong looked at the fake document and smiled playfully, "Since you are a veteran of Datong, I will give you a 20% discount. Go to sea to join relatives?"

    Li Huchong said: "There is a nephew who has made a fortune in Luzon. He wrote a letter home and asked me to help."

    Wei Jianxiong quickly recorded the store calendar, handed back the false documents, and warned in a low voice: "Don't make trouble in my store, it's good for you and good for me."

    Li Huchong fixed his eyes, stared at Wei Jianxiong for two seconds, and then said with a smile: "The shopkeeper was joking, in this prosperous world of great harmony, how can there be villains causing trouble for no reason."

    "I hope so." Wei Jianxiong also smiled.

    Li Huchong took his wife and children upstairs, and followed the man to the guest room.

    After setting up the luggage, Li Huchong sighed: "I was recognized."

    Yang said in shock: "No way?"

    Li Huchong said: "The shopkeeper has a background, he is a practicing family. Besides, I have probably met me before where did you meet?" After thinking for a long time, Li Huchong stared his eyes straight, and said in a low voice with some horror, "I  Thinking about it, I met him in Jiangxi, and His Majesty once called him Uncle! At that time, I asked Lao Huang, where did His Majesty get his uncle, and Lao Huang said that he was His Majesty's master. His Majesty's martial arts were all taught by this man!  "

    Yang Shi was so frightened that she trembled all over: "Your Majesty's Mr. Spear and Stick must be very powerful. Will he"

    Li Huchong comforted himself: "No, no, definitely not."

    Downstairs.

    A six or seven-year-old child, carrying a schoolbag, jumped up and down, ran into the inn and shouted: "Father, I'm back!"

    Wei Jianxiong suddenly smiled: "What did you learn today?"

    The child said: "I learned subtraction, and I also learned two new words."

    "ToI returned to Beijing to resume my job in 2010, but I couldn't find a suitable vacancy. This year I will be transferred to Xuantu Province first, and I will be transferred back to the central government after a few years of work.

    His position is extremely powerful, not only governing Xuantu Province (Jilin), but also supervising the civil affairs of the entire Heilongjiang region.

    Fei Yuanjian currently does not have a title, but the emperor treats him well.

    The Yiwang Mansion in Jianchang, Jiangxi Province covers an area of ??hundreds of thousands of square meters.  Part of it was rebuilt into a primary and secondary school, part of it was rebuilt into a court office, and the remaining 50,000 square meters of gardens were all rewarded to Fei Yuanjian as a private residence.

    Moreover, there are mines in Jianchang Prefecture, and Fei Yuanjian has the right to operate a mine.

    Although Jianchang is located in a remote place, with a large mansion and a mine, Fei Yuanjian can live a relatively comfortable life among the heroes.

    Wei Jianxiong asked: "Why don't you take a boat from Shanghai to Liaodong?"

    Fei Yuanjian said: "I have a friend in Shandong. I stopped by to visit. I didn't expect to meet Uncle Wei and Mother."

    Mrs. Chen said with emotion: "If my sister knows about Quanxia, ??she must be very pleased to know that Brother Jian is so promising. Last time I went back to Qianshan, I heard that my sister's grave was moved to Jianchang, and I have never had a chance to pay homage to her."  .”

    Fei Yuanjian said: "When I report back to Beijing in a few years, I will also go to Jianchang to worship. Mother and Wei Shuke will go together."

    "That's fine, that's fine." Mrs. Chen agreed straight away. After all these years, the past grievances have faded away.

    The next day, Fei Yuanjian set out to cross the river.

    Li Huchong also took his wife and children on the boat. When he saw Fei Yuanjian, he was so frightened that he quickly bowed his head and didn't speak.  When I arrived in Dengzhou, I was anxious to find a boat to go to Luzon, so that I could live a normal life overseas.

    Leibniz was writing letters to friends in China, and he had more than 30 pen pals in the Nanjing area alone.

    However, the current letter is addressed to Zhao Zhenfang:

    "His Royal Highness PrincessI have received your letter. I am deeply saddened to learn that the great mathematician Mr. Xiao Shixuan has passed away. This is a great loss for mankind all over the world"

    "I have carefully read the "Book of Changes" translated by European scholars in Nanjing. Its author Fuxi is a worldwide figure and the earliest code-setter of human beings. Based on the Chinese materials I have come into contact with, the "Book of Changes" may be  The oldest book in China, even in the world, it is the source of all science and philosophy in China. It is inherently consistent with the numbers in Pythagoras, Plato and Hebrew philosophy. They are all revelations from the Creator  "

    "In my opinion, from the time when Fuxi's gossip system was understood to today, the annotations written by Chinese authors for the "Book of Changes" for three thousand years have only confused the original meaning of gossip and confused China's original meaning with Christianity.  Consistent Religion Distorted"

    "China's gossip system is consistent with Christian teachings. Dear Princess, please don't rush to refute my point of view. I am attaching a "Creation Map" here 0 means 'everything comes from nothing', 1 means  'Everything is sufficient'. Expressed in eight trigrams, 0 is Yin'——', and 1 is Yang''. The sun is 11, Shaoyin is 10, Shaoyang is 01, and Taiyin is 00. Qian Gua is 111, against  The hexagram is 011, and the hexagram Li is 101 Mr. Shao Yong's Fuxi Bagua Yitu in the Song Dynasty is actually a binary number table from 0 to 63"

    "I visited London a few years ago, and on my way back, I visited Mr. Spinoza in Holland. His pantheism contains terrible atheism. If Cartesian philosophy is elucidated by Spinoza's pantheism, it will eventually become  leading to atheism"

    "During the French invasion of the Netherlands, Mr. Spinoza was invited by the French Marshal Condé as a guest. Since then, he has been regarded as a traitor by the Dutch. He also came into contact with Chinese philosophy and combined his pantheism with Chinese Neo-Confucianism. Because the Netherlands and China  war, and his admiration of Chinese philosophy further confirms his traitorousness."

    "Mr. Spinoza is a Jew. He believes that God is the universe, which is the Tai Chi in China. He believes that God includes the material world and the spiritual world, which is the Qi and Li in China. I don't quite agree with this view.  "

    "In my opinion, the universe is made up of 'monads'. 'Monads' are spiritual entities without parts, neither extension nor shape, and do not have quantitative stipulations, but only qualitative differencesevery  Each monad, by virtue of its own perception, represents the world with different degrees of clarity, and naturally evolves according to its own inherent internal principles"

    "And God is the highest monad that created all monads!"

    "If the universe is likened to a band, God is the composer of the score of the cosmic order. Each list is a note, arranged harmoniously by God. This is fundamentally different from pantheism. In the understanding of pantheism, God is not the composer.  rather than the score and the orchestra itself.”

    "Mr. Newton in England may be because of his busy schedule. After all, he became the chancellor of the exchequer. His mechanistic theology is ridiculous. According to his theory, the universe is a machine, and God must keep winding the universe.  , otherwise the universe would stop functioning"

    "I accept part of Mr. Spinoza's point of view, and I also believe that Christian doctrine and Chinese Neo-Confucianism are common. However, I think Chinese Tai Chi is the God of Christianity, which is the highest monad in the universe. The binary derivation of 0 and 1  , is the music composed by God, that is, Tai Chi separates the yin and yang qi principles"

    "The biggest difference between me and pantheism is that God is the first reason for things, and the Chinese also think Tai Chi is the first reason for things. Therefore, Mr. Spinoza, there is a misunderstanding in the understanding of Chinese philosophy. According to his  Viewpoint means that Tai Chi is all things, not Tai Chi derives all things"

    "Chinese scholars should start from the mathematical principles of "Book of Changes" to pursue the essential meaning of "Book of Changes", rather than relying on various secular explanations"

    "At the end of the writing, I would like to pay tribute to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess again, and admire you Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz."

    With the deepening of exchanges between the East and the West, there are many famous Chinese scholars in Europe, but Zhao Zhenfang quickly became the most sought after one.

    Although Zhao Zhenfang has some scientific research results, she can at most rank in the lower middle of China. Why did she gain a great reputation in Europe?

    Very easy to understand!

    First, Zhao Zhenfang is a woman, which is a rare phenomenon in European academic circles.

    Second, Zhao Zhenfang is the younger sister of the Chinese emperor and has theWang Lianxi said: "I'm really sorry to bring up your sadness. Perhaps, we should call you the Marquis."

    "I like this title." Mrs. Yang smiled.

    Ever since, the famous prostitute from China became the Marquis in this way.  And those French nobles are all proud of associating with the Chinese Marquis.  When Parisian ladies hold salons, they always invite the Marchioness to participate, and they also need to place some porcelain in the salon, otherwise they will appear to be out of class.

    The prince asked again: "Madam, have you met Her Royal Highness the Princess Eldest Princess of China?"

    Mrs. Yang had obviously been trained on the ship and knew which one the eldest princess was referring to.  She smiled and said: "Her Royal Highness and her husband have lived in Guangzhou for several years, and I happened to live in Guangzhou at the time. I have the honor to meet Her Royal Highness several times. She is very beautiful and smart. You may  I can't believe it, when I saw Her Royal Highness, she was already 50 years old, but she didn't look old at all, as if she was still 30 years old."

    "Really?" the prince asked in surprise.

    Mrs. Yang said: "Of course, Her Royal Highness also likes art, so I was invited. But she will also invite many scholars to talk about some philosophical topics. I don't understand mathematics and astronomy at all, but Her Royal Highness is very proficient.  Let the invited scholars also admire it."

    The prince said with emotion: "It's a perfect princess, it's a pity I can't witness her in person."

    With the spread of the portrait, Zhao Zhenfang's popularity in France is already second only to Emperor Zhao Han.

    Even, Zhao Zhenfang gradually appeared in literary works, and the content was almost the same.

    It is a down-and-out aristocrat from France who went to sea to experience various adventures, and when he arrived in Guangzhou, he accepted the help of a Chinese princess.  Every time Zhao Zhenfang appeared in the movie, she was always full of style and beauty, and she was full of resourcefulness, and even had an extramarital affair with the leading actor.

    A few years later, Zhao Zhenfang's second son got a French translation and was immediately pissed off by the contents.

    Zheng Sen also learned about the situation from his son, and he couldn't laugh or cry. His stomach was full of anger and he didn't know who to turn to, so he couldn't go to France to ban this book, right?

    At this moment, Louis XIV was complacent.

    He was wearing leggings and high-heeled shoes, and looked around the entire dance floor with a look of pride.  Under his rule, France has already dominated the European continent, and now there is a Chinese marquise as a mistress. Both career and life are so perfect.

    That's why he uttered the famous saying: "I am the Sun King of the West, Zhao is the Philosopher King of the East, and the two greatest monarchs in the world are here."

    Zhao Han smiled and looked at Zhang Bingwen: "Do you want to take an exam?"

    Zhang Bingwen cupped his hands and said, "There is no need to take the Four Books and Five Classics exams. The contents of elementary and middle schools are too simple, which is no different from the exams for scholars back then. Please ask the general town to come up with questions and test "Great Harmony Collection", "Mathematics" and "Geometry"?"

    "There's no need to take the test, I trust you. A chief envoy wouldn't tell such a lie." Zhao Han said.

    Zhang Bingwen handed over again: "Thank you for your trust!"

    Zhao Han asked suddenly: "What do you think of the general trend of the world?"

    Zhang Bingwen cheered up immediately. This is the real test: "The treasury of the Ming Dynasty is empty, the government is corrupt, and the annexation is serious. It has long accumulated evils. The bandits in the Northwest, running around endlessly, can't stop and develop stably. They are nothing more than a large group of horse bandits.  When will the rogues be able to beat the officers and soldiers to run around, can these rogues establish an official system and have the capital to compete for the world. The Liaodong Tartars are foreign ears. But at this time, the Tartars have established a system.  Rogues have a better chance of fighting for the world. As for Jiangxi, I don’t need to repeat it.”

    Zhao Han was very satisfied, and asked again: "Do you know how I will develop next?"

    Zhang Bingwen said: "South Zhili is the most beautiful place in the world. You can go out from Guangxin Mansion to the east and occupy Zhejiang first. Then take the navy down the Yangtze River, attack by land and water, and conquer the cities of Nanjing, Taiping, and Zhenjiang. In this way, Jiangnan is settled.  , half of the country is at your fingertips."

    "Then should I play Zhejiang this year?" Zhao Han said with a smile.

    "No," Zhang Bingwen said, "with Zongzhen's temperament and intelligence, he must first go to southern Hunan, and then to Guangdong and Fujian."

    Zhao Han became more and more satisfied, and asked, "Why?"

    Zhang Bingwen analyzed: "If the south of the Yangtze River is lost, the Ming Dynasty will perish quickly. The Tartars will definitely break through, and the Tartars who establish themselves as emperors will quickly occupy Hebei. The rogue bandits who have not established a system are definitely not opponents of the Tartars. Before that, as long as  The general town dared to attack Nanzhi and Zhejiang. The Ming court must have desperately dispatched the troops of the six northern provinces to fight Jiangxi with all its strength. At that time, the general town had to deal with the imperial army alone.  Harvesting the power of a fisherman. How unwise?"

    "Then why did I go to Shonan first?" Zhao Han asked.

    Zhang Bingwen said: "Huguang is cooked, the world is full, and Dongting Lake is also the granary of the world. In this troubled world, the grain is the heaviest. Whoever can feed the people will win the world."

    In the middle and early Ming Dynasty, the main production area of ??Daming was Jiangnan, to be precise, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the surrounding areas of Taihu Lake.

    However, since the mid-Ming Dynasty, the population in these places has continued to multiply, and a large number of commercial crops have been replanted, resulting in a serious shortage of food supply.  And Huguang was developed again, thus becoming the granary of the world.  Many of the grains from the Jiangnan prefectures are transported to Huguang and Jiangxi for sale.

    Therefore, Zhao Han doesn't have to conquer Jiangnan, as long as he occupies Huguang and Jiangxi's grain production areas, he can grab the neck of Jiangnan at any time.

    Zhang Bingwen continued: "As for Fujian and Guangdong, maritime trade is the world's great profit. Once the sea is opened, smuggling is cracked down, and taxes are no less than those in Nanzhi and Zhejiang."

    "Ha ha ha ha!"

    Zhao Han laughed heartily and said, "You are a great talent."

    Although Zhang Bingwen is from Tongcheng, he has served as a soldier patrol in Fujian, and he knows how profitable Fujian Maritime is.

    It was not easy for the Ming court to do it, but Zhao Han could do it casually and brutally kill a group of smuggling merchants.  Kill him whatever you want, anyway, it doesn't involve his interests, Zhang Bingwen is happy to see it succeed.

    Zhao Han asked someone to bring a copy of the information, handed it over and said, "Sir, please read it."

    Zhang Bingwen was a little curious, and glanced at it, but it was a copy of the imperial palace newspaper.

    This year there was no rest for the Lantern Festival. On the fourteenth day of the first month, a document was issued. Chongzhen accepted the Ministry of Industry’s suggestion to Fu Yuanchu and ordered the collection of customs duties in Kaihai, Fujian to help pay.

    Zhang Bingwen shook his head and sighed: "Oh, the foundation of Ming Dynasty is already damaged. Even if we open the sea, we won't be able to collect a few taxes."

    Zhao Han handed over another piece of information, also in the first month, that 89 redundant staff were abolished in Nanjing.

    "It seems that the imperial court is really out of money, and it actually started to lay off officials," Zhang Bingwen said with a smile, "Unfortunately, there are too many constraints. If we really want to cut redundant staff, Nanjing can lay off at least 300 people. Besides, why not lay off a few more ministers? Official positions  The highest ones are just a few masters."

    Zhao Han got up and said, "You go to the secretarial academy to do something."

    It is naturally impossible for a person like Zhang Bingwen to vote as a petty official, but it is even less likely to break the rules for him.  Therefore, it is best to get the secretarial academy, accumulate two years of qualifications, and then release it to be a second official, and you will be able to get promoted quickly.

    Zhao Han has already released four secretaries, Fei Yu has been released to the county magistrate, and when he expands in southern Hunan and Guangdong, Fei Yu can be promoted???  Are you going to turn Daming into the Three Kingdoms at the end of Han Dynasty!  "

    Yang Sichang kowtowed and said: "This expedient measure is only implemented in the three southern provinces. After the imperial court has wiped out the rogues, this order can be canceled immediately. The most urgent task is to quickly wipe out the rogues. Your Majesty, please train another 100,000 soldiers!"

    "Where's the money?" Chongzhen asked.

    "Add training salary!" Yang Sichang gritted his teeth, he was also forced to rush.

    Chongzhen was dejected, and said weakly: "It will be according to Qing's plan."

    What strategy?

    Of course, it is to send additional training salaries, organize and train new troops, and quickly suppress the thieves.  At the same time, it was ordered that the gentry and powerful gentry in southern Hunan, Guangdong, and Fujian can organize and train their own troops.

    The next day it was brought to the court for discussion, and the situation was very surprising.

    The matter of organizing group training was unanimously approved. These officials are afraid of being divided by Zhao thieves.  Anyway, it was the method proposed by Yang Sichang. If it fails, it will be an opportunity to impeach him, and if it is done well, it will kill Bandit Zhao.

    As for the increase in salary and training, which attracted all the officials to complain wildly, everyone knew that there should be no further tossing. Wouldn't the increase in training salary force more peasants to rebel?

    ?The opposition was invalid, and the whole country was sent again, and the people were miserable.

    On the other side of Jiangxi, Zhao Han raised his troops, waiting for the summer grain to be harvested.
